**[00:17] ---**
Over there, huh...
**[00:27] ---**
Any closer and I'll be noticed...
**[01:20] ---**
Big Sister...
**[01:22] ---**
Are you taking those
with you?
**[01:25] ---**
Fate must have meant
for this to happen...
**[01:28] ---**
Nothing will serve me better
than these
**[01:30] ---**
if I'm gonna fight against him...
**[01:36] ---**
I've lived too long a life...
**[03:10] ---**
*The Retired Granny's Determination
*
**[03:16] ---**
So...that's where his hideout is.
**[03:22] ---**
Most likely.
**[03:23] ---**
Gaara's scent was also coming
from that same place.
**[03:26] ---**
I see.
**[03:29] ---**
I have one more favor to ask you.
**[03:33] ---**
Huh?
**[03:44] ---**
Hey, are you awake, Naruto?
**[03:47] ---**
Huh? Pakkun...
**[03:49] ---**
Okay, Pakkun, I'm counting on you.
**[03:52] ---**
See you around then, Naruto!
**[04:03] ---**
Kakashi Sensei!
**[04:04] ---**
Could it be that you've found
the Akatsuki's hideout?
**[04:07] ---**
Yeah... We're heading out immediately.
**[04:17] ---**
What, Gaara's whereabouts
have been--?!
**[04:19] ---**
Yes ma'am! His whereabouts
have just been located.
**[04:22] ---**
The Leaf are preparing
to depart immediately!
**[04:25] ---**
Understood! Gather
our skilled men immediately!
**[04:29] ---**
I will be heading out as well!
**[04:30] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[04:34] ---**
Temari...
**[04:37] ---**
Kankuro, don't be so reckless!
**[04:40] ---**
You need to stay in bed
and take it easy!
**[04:44] ---**
I will get Gaara back,
no matter what!
**[05:25] ---**
All right, as soon
as the Sand is ready,
**[05:27] ---**
we'll join them for Gaara's rescue.
**[05:30] ---**
Got it?
**[05:31] ---**
Sorry to have kept you waiting!
**[05:34] ---**
Temari!
**[05:36] ---**
Everyone's here...
**[05:38] ---**
All right! Then let's head out!
**[05:41] ---**
Wait!
**[05:45] ---**
Temari... You and the others stay here
in the village and patrol the border.
**[05:51] ---**
What do you mean by that?!
**[05:52] ---**
That's an order from...above.
**[05:55] ---**
Huh...?
**[05:56] ---**
Their reasoning is...
**[05:58] ---**
if it becomes widely known that
the Kazekage is absent,
**[06:01] ---**
there's no telling when other villages
will attack our village...
**[06:04] ---**
I can't believe this...
**[06:06] ---**
That's all the more reason that
**[06:07] ---**
we have to get Gaara back
as soon as possible!
**[06:11] ---**
These Leaf people came
all this way
**[06:13] ---**
for the very purpose of
going to Gaara's aid!
**[06:17] ---**
*Gaara is our Kazekage, right?!*
**[06:20] ---**
What's the point if we,
the Sand people, don't go to save him!
**[06:23] ---**
But...
**[06:24] ---**
I'm going.
**[06:38] ---**
The only Sand Shinobi
you need is me!
**[06:42] ---**
Granny Chiyo!
**[06:43] ---**
But that's...
**[06:46] ---**
I am already retired, you know...
**[06:48] ---**
I can do whatever I like.
**[06:52] ---**
You really shouldn't overdo it...!
**[06:55] ---**
Don't you dare treat me
like an old woman!
**[07:00] ---**
She jumped!
**[07:01] ---**
Wha--?!
**[07:04] ---**
I haven't doted on my dear grandchild
for a while, after all...
**[07:34] ---**
All right, we'll head out.
**[07:37] ---**
Sorry... I will try to convince
the higher-ups...
**[07:42] ---**
We'll follow behind later,
no matter what!
**[07:47] ---**
Gaara will be long rescued
by that time!
**[07:50] ---**
See you later!
**[08:07] ---**
Damn! If only I were
physically fit.
**[08:11] ---**
There'd be no stopping me
from going...!
**[08:20] ---**
Hey, we're going a little too fast!
**[08:22] ---**
We haven't stopped running
since we left!
**[08:25] ---**
Let's take a little break!
**[08:28] ---**
Tenten, you need more training!
**[08:31] ---**
Lee! In front of you!
**[08:41] ---**
Wait, Guy!
**[08:44] ---**
Pakkun!
**[08:59] ---**
Naruto!
**[09:02] ---**
Can I ask you something?
**[09:06] ---**
Since when have you been
targeted by the Akatsuki?
**[09:18] ---**
I don't know...
**[09:23] ---**
There was that one time when
two people from the Akatsuki
**[09:26] ---**
came to the Leaf Village in order to
make contact with Naruto.
**[09:29] ---**
But that was three years ago...
**[09:31] ---**
and they've just started
making a move now.
**[09:34] ---**
I don't know why.
**[09:36] ---**
Why did they wait three years?
**[09:43] ---**
It could be that it's not because
they didn't want to,
**[09:45] ---**
but because they couldn't.
**[09:47] ---**
Because Lord Jiraiya was always
hanging close to Naruto...
**[09:55] ---**
No...
**[09:58] ---**
Based on information I acquired,
there apparently is another reason.
**[10:04] ---**
Another...reason?
**[10:06] ---**
There's quite a bit of
preparation involved
**[10:09] ---**
if one's gonna draw out the Tailed Beast
that's sealed within people.
**[10:12] ---**
They encountered difficulties
with that.
**[10:25] ---**
What's this "Tailed Beast"
that you were talking about?
**[10:28] ---**
What?!
**[10:29] ---**
You're Tsunade's disciple
and you don't even know that?!
**[10:33] ---**
The Leaf Village had
a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit...
**[10:40] ---**
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit is
**[10:42] ---**
treated as top secret
amongst the Leaf Village...
**[10:44] ---**
Well, that's not surprising, I guess...
**[10:49] ---**
A Tailed Beast refers to
Beast Spirits with tails.
**[10:54] ---**
Long, long ago,
the Sand had a One-Tail.
**[10:57] ---**
That's the Shukaku sealed
within Gaara.
**[11:01] ---**
One-Tail?
**[11:03] ---**
Do you mean that there are
other beasts
**[11:05] ---**
besides the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit?
**[11:06] ---**
That's right...
**[11:08] ---**
There are a total of nine
tailed beasts in this world...
**[11:12] ---**
Tailed beasts have
special characteristics.
**[11:15] ---**
Each of them have
a different number of tails.
**[11:18] ---**
The One-Tailed has one tail.
The Two-Tailed has two.
**[11:22] ---**
And up to the Nine-Tailed
as the name suggests,
**[11:25] ---**
each name represents
the number of tails the beast has.
**[11:29] ---**
The Tailed beasts have
immense Chakra
**[11:32] ---**
and in the world of Ninja,
**[11:34] ---**
they were used for military purposes
by Hidden Villages around the world.
**[11:37] ---**
They competed to get
their hands on them.
**[11:41] ---**
But no one was able
to control that power
**[11:44] ---**
which surpassed human intelligence.
**[11:48] ---**
I don't know why
the Akatsuki is after it,
**[11:52] ---**
but that power is too dangerous...
**[11:56] ---**
But in this new peaceful age,
the Tailed beasts apparently...
**[12:01] ---**
still exist, having scattered
all around the world...
**[12:20] ---**
Kakashi directed us,
the Eight Ninja Hounds,
**[12:23] ---**
to fan out in every direction
**[12:25] ---**
to follow the Akatsuki
Organization's scent.
**[12:28] ---**
While we were doing that,
we realized that
**[12:30] ---**
those guys were headed towards
the Land of Rivers
**[12:32] ---**
which is situated between
the Leaf and Sand.
**[12:34] ---**
The Land of Rivers...?
**[12:36] ---**
That's right.
**[12:38] ---**
In other words,
**[12:39] ---**
you guys are closest to the Akatsuki
at this point in time.
**[12:42] ---**
You, who were heading from
the Leaf to the Sand Village.
**[12:47] ---**
I see...
**[12:49] ---**
Follow me...
I'll explain the details as we run.
**[12:54] ---**
All right! Let's go, everybody!
**[12:56] ---**
Huh? Already?
**[13:35] ---**
*An enemy is nearing
this hideout.*
**[13:41] ---**
An enemy, you said?
**[13:42] ---**
*And a highly skilled one at that.*
**[13:45] ---**
*His name is...Might Guy.*
**[13:49] ---**
*Who's that?*
**[13:53] ---**
*A Leaf Jonin Ninja who
uses Taijutsu.*
**[13:55] ---**
*He's one clever operator.
Don't underestimate him.*
**[13:58] ---**
*Ah...that freak beast, huh...*
**[14:05] ---**
*We will use that Jutsu...*
**[14:08] ---**
*In that case, I'll go...*
**[14:11] ---**
*I was getting irritated for not
having any luck finding a Jinchuriki.*
**[14:16] ---**
*No, I'll go...*
**[14:19] ---**
*I have something of a personal quarrel
with him, you see...*
**[14:23] ---**
*You're right. That Jutsu is more suited
to someone like you.*
**[14:27] ---**
*Among the Akatsuki,*
**[14:29] ---**
*you are more heavily loaded
with Chakra, Kisame.*
**[14:32] ---**
*Yes...*
**[14:33] ---**
*Even so, I'll take 30%
of your Chakra.*
**[14:38] ---**
*Well, well, well...*
**[14:40] ---**
*It looks like I'll finally be
able to get pay back*
**[14:42] ---**
for that kick he gave me...
**[14:49] ---**
*Severe Leaf Hurricane!*
**[14:57] ---**
*Who the heck is he?*
**[15:00] ---**
*The Noble Blue Beast of
the Leaf Village... Mighty Guy.*
**[15:29] ---**
What's up?!
**[15:30] ---**
Someone's coming!
**[15:36] ---**
Byakugan!
**[15:53] ---**
Behind us!
**[16:40] ---**
You...
**[16:44] ---**
Do you know him, Guy Sensei?!
**[16:51] ---**
Who are you?
**[17:26] ---**
*Another guest...*
**[17:29] ---**
*It's a little noisy this time,
isn't it, Deidara!*
**[17:33] ---**
Well, the Jinchuriki was
stronger than the other two...
**[17:39] ---**
I told you at the start, didn't I?
**[17:42] ---**
Your Jutsu wasn't suited
for covert operations.
**[17:46] ---**
I'd say your traps were
pretty loud too, weren't they?
**[17:52] ---**
What!
**[17:53] ---**
*Stop fighting amongst yourselves!*
**[17:55] ---**
*Concentrate on the Jutsu!*
**[17:58] ---**
*Now then...
who should I send this time...*
**[18:01] ---**
*This time it's my turn,
without any doubt.*
**[18:04] ---**
*Another Leaf Shinobi...*
**[18:09] ---**
*Damn!*
**[18:11] ---**
*In that case, it's decided...*
**[18:19] ---**
Everybody, halt!
**[18:33] ---**
Who is that?
**[18:35] ---**
Out of the blue, huh...
**[18:38] ---**
That guy...those eyes...
**[18:44] ---**
You're...
**[18:51] ---**
This guy...has a ridiculous amount
of Chakra.
**[18:56] ---**
I've never seen anyone besides
Naruto with that amount of Chakra.
**[19:01] ---**
That much...?
**[19:03] ---**
Are you really saying
you don't remember...?
**[19:07] ---**
Don't tell me you're...!
**[19:10] ---**
It appears that you've remembered...
**[19:14] ---**
Have we met before?
**[19:19] ---**
It looks like
the freak beast's intelligence
**[19:22] ---**
is at the level of a beast too...
**[19:25] ---**
Well...I'll make you
remember soon...
**[19:48] ---**
Itachi...Uchiha!
**[19:52] ---**
*Th-That guy is...*
**[20:01] ---**
*That guy is...Itachi...Uchiha!*
**[21:37] ---**
Guy Sensei, what is that?!
**[21:39] ---**
Lee, that is what we've been
waiting for!
**[21:42] ---**
Then that is what all
the surfers long for,
**[21:45] ---**
the legendary big wave that
arrives only once every few years...?!
**[21:48] ---**
Big Thursday! Go, Lee!
**[21:51] ---**
Now is your chance to conquer
that big wave
**[21:53] ---**
and become a man!
**[21:55] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[21:56] ---**
Please watch Guy Sensei,
I'll prove to you my fighting spirit!
**[22:00] ---**
Will you two stop talking
like that already?!
**[22:02] ---**
