[00:13] ---
    All right.
[00:14] ---
    Starting now, our main mission
    is to find Itachi
[00:17] ---
    and take him into custody.
[00:19] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Yes!
[00:21] ---
    Akatsuki's goal is to round up
    the Tailed Beasts.
[00:23] ---
    It is believed that they already
    have the Three-Tails.
[00:27] ---
    According to the data
    obtained by Jiraiya,
[00:28] ---
    it's possible they have infiltrated
    the Land of Fire and will target Naruto.
[00:35] ---
    Itachi, in particular, is originally
    from the Leaf Village.
[00:38] ---
    Three years ago, he returned to
    the village
[00:40] ---
    and attempted to take Naruto.
[00:42] ---
    So he's headed for
    the Leaf Village again?
[00:47] ---
    As well as Sasuke
    who is after this Itachi Uchiha!
[00:50] ---
    Alright!
[00:52] ---
    I'm gonna meet up
    with Sasuke no matter what.
[00:56] ---
    Well, let's just take it
    one step at a time.
[01:01] ---
    Here's the search plan.
[01:03] ---
    Using this as the central point,
[01:06] ---
    we'll search all four directions
    for five kilometers.
[01:09] ---
    If we find nothing,
[01:10] ---
    then we'll move the central point and
    spread out five kilometers from there.
[01:15] ---
    And...we'll keep repeating this strategy.
[01:18] ---
    Five kilometers...
    Our wireless radio will be out of range!
[01:23] ---
    And if we're separated,
    it'll be dangerous!
[01:26] ---
    The rules state that all patrols must
    be done by two-man cells.
[01:30] ---
    - If we encounter the enemy--!
    - Sakura...
[01:32] ---
    Don't get so worried.
[01:33] ---
    Just watch...
[01:45] ---
    Our voices which travel even farther
    than the wireless radios,
[01:49] ---
    and our noses that can instantly
    sniff out danger, will protect you.
[01:52] ---
    Pakkun!
[01:54] ---
    All right, let me explain
    the patrol team formation.
[01:58] ---
    This time, two ninja hounds will
    be assigned to each member.
[02:02] ---
    Two dogs...? Huh? But...
[02:05] ---
    Get along, all of you.
[02:09] ---
    Hello, Sakura.
[02:11] ---
    You're such a snappy female
    as usual.
[02:16] ---
    I'm partnering with Shino.
[02:18] ---
    Ugh... You stink of insects.
[02:22] ---
    You stink like a dog.
[02:23] ---
    Hello.
[02:25] ---
    Let's work together...
[02:27] ---
    In peace and harmony...
    Hehehe!
[02:31] ---
    *I wonder if...
    I can become friends with dogs?
[02:34] ---
    What about me?
[02:36] ---
    Naruto, you're the Jinchuriki
    they're targeting.
[02:39] ---
    Just in case you're attacked,
[02:41] ---
    you'll be with Yamato and
    Sensory-Scout Hinata.
[02:45] ---
    And Big Bark Bull.
[02:49] ---
    L-Let's work together, Naruto.
[02:52] ---
    Right!
[02:53] ---
    And being ninja-hound users,
    Kiba and I will each have one dog.
[02:57] ---
    So we're all set!
[03:00] ---
    Listen up, everyone.
[03:02] ---
    Above all, you will track
    Itachi and Sasuke's scents.
[03:05] ---
    If you find either one of them,
[03:08] ---
    verify their location,
    then return to this spot.
[03:12] ---
    Especially you, Naruto.
    Don't go running off ahead of us.
[03:15] ---
    I know.
[03:18] ---
    All right then, let's head out.
[03:22] ---
    Scatter!
[04:56] ---
    The Hunt
    
    
[05:02] ---
    I'm going.
[05:04] ---
    Itachi Uchiha, eh?
    I hope we can find him.
[05:10] ---
    All right!
[05:12] ---
    Sa-su-ke!
[05:14] ---
    I'm staying with you!
[05:17] ---
    You too. Get going.
[05:22] ---
    Drat!
[05:45] ---
    It's completely healed...
[05:47] ---
    Yeah.
[05:48] ---
    And? Which one are we going for?
[05:50] ---
    Sasuke or the Nine-Tails...?
[05:52] ---
    Well now, which will it be...?
[05:57] ---
    W-W-Wait, D-Deidara Senpai!
[06:01] ---
    Wait up!
[06:07] ---
    PAWN SHOP
[06:15] ---
    Who are you?!
[06:21] ---
    I guess underlings don't matter.
[06:32] ---
    Go and check.
[06:34] ---
    Yes.
[06:40] ---
    Huh? Who are you?!
[06:52] ---
    You're that Akatsuki...
    What's his name?
[06:56] ---
    Kaku... Kakuta... Kakusa... Kakushi...
[07:00] ---
    K-Kakuzu...
[07:02] ---
    Yes, that's the one.
[07:03] ---
    You're that Kakuzu's henchman-
    his bookkeeper, right?
[07:09] ---
    I'll tell you anything
    you want to know.
[07:11] ---
    J-Just please don't kill me...
[07:14] ---
    That's the way... Keep talking.
[07:29] ---
    Let me ask you guys...
[07:40] ---
    Akamaru! Don't lose to
    the other ninja hounds!
[07:43] ---
    We'll be the first to detect Sasuke
    and Itachi's scents!
[07:50] ---
    You're too slow, Shino!
[07:51] ---
    Don't dawdle!
[07:54] ---
    I don't like them...
[07:57] ---
    Let's go! Pochi! Tama!
[07:59] ---
    Pochi...?
[08:00] ---
    Tama?!
[08:02] ---
    Don't give me silly nicknames!
[08:27] ---
    Sasuke...
[08:39] ---
    If you don't wipe that solemn look
    off your face,
[08:42] ---
    you'll scare off the boys.
[08:44] ---
    What?
[08:45] ---
    The more you chase,
    the further they run away.
[08:48] ---
    You're a female that keeps
    on pushing, aren't you?
[08:51] ---
    Why don't you try pulling away
    for a change?
[08:53] ---
    What a thing to say!
[08:57] ---
    Sasuke and I...
[09:00] ---
    aren't like that...
[09:02] ---
    Hey, stop being so rude.
[09:05] ---
    Humph!
[09:06] ---
    It's just that I want to
    let Sasuke know...
[09:09] ---
    how I...how everyone feels.
[09:13] ---
    Everyone is waiting for Sasuke
    to return home.
[09:18] ---
    That's all...
[09:20] ---
    Fine. Well, if pulling away doesn't work,
    why don't I try sniffing?
[09:28] ---
    What's the matter?!
[09:30] ---
    I caught a whiff of
    Sasuke Uchiha's scent...
[09:33] ---
    What?!
[09:44] ---
    Well?
[09:45] ---
    The smell is faint,
    but it's steadily getting closer.
[10:15] ---
    What are you doing?!
    He'll be on to us before we find him!
[10:20] ---
    We have to be cautious!
[10:32] ---
    He's near.
[10:36] ---
    Sakura, do you see Sasuke around?
[11:02] ---
    This isn't good.
    The smell is going farther away.
[11:17] ---
    *I've given it a once-over,
    but I don't sense any chakra.
[11:23] ---
    Maybe I'll go back to Sasuke.
[11:26] ---
    *The other two are probably
    not back yet.
[11:44] ---
    I found it, Tobi!
[11:45] ---
    Yeah!
[11:46] ---
    No kidding?! That was fast!
[11:48] ---
    And? Which one is it?
    The Nine-Tails or Sasuke?
[11:52] ---
    What an opportunity.
    We're going together, Tobi.
[11:56] ---
    So... Which one?
[11:59] ---
    Just follow me!
[12:00] ---
    Yes.
[12:25] ---
    Naruto... Hinata...
    You understand, right?
[12:29] ---
    Yes.
[12:30] ---
    Yeah...
[12:37] ---
    You're...!
[12:45] ---
    Show yourself...
    Who are you?
[12:55] ---
    You found me, after all...
[12:58] ---
    Kabuto Yakushi...
[12:59] ---
    You've got guts approaching us
    by yourself.
[13:03] ---
    I wanted to have a chat
    with Naruto.
[13:06] ---
    You're not getting away this time.
    We're taking you in.
[13:09] ---
    Hey! Kabuto! You would know!
    Where is Sasuke?!
[13:15] ---
    Humph! Still can't get over Sasuke, eh...?
[13:18] ---
    Is it true that Sasuke
    killed Orochimaru?!
[13:23] ---
    Yeah... It's true.
[13:27] ---
    More importantly,
    I brought you a present today.
[13:37] ---
    That outfit... You're...
[13:40] ---
    So you're Sasuke...
    You really do look like Itachi!
[13:46] ---
    S-Scary!
[13:53] ---
    - Ha!
    - Ha!
[14:03] ---
    What's that?
[14:05] ---
    Information our organization
    has gathered regarding Akatsuki.
[14:11] ---
    What of it?
[14:13] ---
    It's yours. You can have it.
[14:17] ---
    Now that Orochimaru is dead...
[14:19] ---
    you're trying to negotiate with us?
[14:22] ---
    Nope... I don't think it's as easy
    as negotiating with something like this...
[14:26] ---
    Especially with the Leaf Village.
[14:28] ---
    Then why?
[14:30] ---
    Unlike Orochimaru,
    Akatsuki isn't after you.
[14:35] ---
    It's a simple gift to Naruto.
    A token of my gratitude.
[14:40] ---
    Plus, Akatsuki is pursuing you.
[14:42] ---
    Gratitude...?
[14:44] ---
    After Lord Orochimaru died,
[14:48] ---
    I lost sense of who I was.
[14:51] ---
    I never knew my parents
    or my homeland.
[14:54] ---
    The enemy found me and
    from the time I was little,
[14:57] ---
    I moved around the lands
    and villages as a spy.
[15:01] ---
    Lands and villages didn't
    mean much to me.
[15:05] ---
    That is, until I began serving
    Lord Orochimaru...
[15:09] ---
    But now, he's gone too.
[15:15] ---
    Just who am I?
    The agony of not having an identity...
[15:20] ---
    You can understand,
    can't you, Naruto?
[15:23] ---
    Like I'd understand
    anything you say!
[15:26] ---
    Humph... I wonder about that.
[15:30] ---
    Are you Naruto Uzumaki?
    Or are you the Nine-Tails?
[15:34] ---
    In the past, you were shunned...
    regarded with loathing.
[15:37] ---
    You must have questioned yourself
    about who you really are.
[15:42] ---
    However, you had faith
    in your strength
[15:46] ---
    and told yourself that
    you were Naruto Uzumaki...
[15:49] ---
    and you boldly overcame
    their views about the Nine-Tails.
[15:54] ---
    What does he intend...
    to do with Naruto?
[15:57] ---
    I can't figure out his intentions...
[15:59] ---
    And that's why you are sure
    of your identity
[16:04] ---
    and you found friends
    who accept you.
[16:08] ---
    But instead of overcoming
    Lord Orochimaru,
[16:12] ---
    I desperately clung to his power.
[16:15] ---
    I'm really able to understand
    how you feel now.
[16:19] ---
    You made me realize...
    that I want to be like you.
[16:26] ---
    So now...
[16:33] ---
    I'm going to surpass Lord Orochimaru
    whom I absorbed,
[16:36] ---
    and discover a new, stronger self.
[16:46] ---
    I'll find my new self...
[16:49] ---
    and you have given me
    a hint to finding it.
[16:51] ---
    That's why I'm grateful...Naruto.
[16:55] ---
    Lord Orochimaru is
    the symbol of reincarnation.
[16:58] ---
    He continues to live on inside me,
    as an existence that I must overcome.
[17:03] ---
    Took...into your body?
[17:04] ---
    Well...
[17:06] ---
    It was just a small segment
    of Lord Orochimaru's corpse
[17:08] ---
    after Sasuke killed him...
[17:10] ---
    which I transplanted into my own body.
[17:15] ---
    But, his life-force is amazing.
[17:20] ---
    It's now steadily trying to
    take over my body...this thing.
[17:26] ---
    That's ridiculous...
[17:28] ---
    What is that?
[17:31] ---
    Byakugan!
[17:33] ---
    *One-third of his body has
    already been taken over.
[17:37] ---
    But I've been fiercely resisting
    this takeover!
[17:42] ---
    I can feel this part of me that's trying
    to overcome Lord Orochimaru!
[17:52] ---
    Is that all you want to say?
[17:59] ---
    Well, give it everything you've got!
[18:02] ---
    In a jail cell in Leaf Village!
[18:10] ---
    Wood Style!
[18:12] ---
    All right! Gotcha!
[18:14] ---
    Behind you!
[18:19] ---
    Dammit...
[18:22] ---
    When I'm able to fully control
    Lord Orochimaru's power,
[18:28] ---
    I will fight you again, Naruto.
[18:31] ---
    But you come later.
[18:33] ---
    First, it'll be Sasuke who
    brought down Lord Orochimaru.
[18:37] ---
    What're you gonna do to Sasuke?!
[18:41] ---
    Until we meet again.
[19:01] ---
    We did it!
    We brought down Sasuke.
[19:04] ---
    As expected, Senpai...
[19:19] ---
    As expected, Senpai.
[19:20] ---
    Shut up!
[19:23] ---
    But looks like he's kinda strong...
    this guy.
[19:27] ---
    Imagine Orochimaru being killed
    by a brat like him.
[19:31] ---
    I still can't believe it...
[19:36] ---
    Huh?
[19:37] ---
    Tobi, look how
    he's glaring at us! Humph!
[19:41] ---
    You're raring to go, eh Senpai?
[19:44] ---
    You'll have to apologize to Itachi later.
[21:37] ---
    You guys must be Akatsuki.
    Where's Itachi Uchiha?
    
    
[21:40] ---
    Huh?
    
    
[21:41] ---
    If you tell me nicely,
    I'll let you go.
    
    
[21:43] ---
    What shall we do, Senpai?
    He's playing hardball.
    
    
[21:46] ---
    Sharingan...eh?
    You're Itachi's kid brother, all right.
    
    
[21:50] ---
    So you were able to kill Orochimaru
    because of your Uchiha bloodline...
    
    
[21:55] ---
    Lucky enough to be born into that family!
    That's all it was!
    
    
[21:58] ---
    If you don't feel like telling me,
    that's fine.
    
    
[22:00] ---
    I'll just wring the information
    from you by force.
    
    
[22:03] ---
    Next time: "Clash!"
    
    
[22:06] ---
    PAWN SHOP
[22:08] ---
    Oh...
[22:09] ---
    Once again, the due date for
    Lady Tsunade's debt is looming.
[22:16] ---
    Tonton! We have no choice.
[22:18] ---
    Let's go and do that thing
    like we used to!
[22:24] ---
    Huh?
[22:28] ---
    You'll catch a cold sleeping out here.
[22:33] ---
    Oww...
[22:35] ---
    Are you all right, Bro...?
[22:39] ---
    Um...
[22:41] ---
    I'd like to borrow some money.
[22:46] ---
    Bro! This one's a winner!
[22:48] ---
    I know! I know!
[22:49] ---
    If we sell her,
    I think we'll get over a million ryo!
[22:51] ---
    All right! How's about 500,000 ryo?
[22:54] ---
    Thank you very much!
[22:58] ---
    I'm sorry!
[23:00] ---
    PAWN SHOP
    
    
    Bro, the pig disappeared!
[23:02] ---
    What?! What a day
    this is turning out to be!
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
