[00:04] ---
    I'm coming in, Tsunade.
[00:06] ---
    Jiraiya? Did you learn anything?
[00:09] ---
    I discovered the whereabouts
    of the Akatsuki leader.
[00:12] ---
    What?! Is that true?!
[00:14] ---
    Tell me more!
[00:15] ---
    We'll use that information
    to plan a surprise attack!
[00:19] ---
    Don't be hasty, now.
[00:21] ---
    This isn't like plotting
    a sequel to your novel!
[00:24] ---
    We don't have the time to waste!
[00:26] ---
    Haste makes waste.
[00:29] ---
    Especially with the stakes
    this high...
[00:33] ---
    Say, why don't we grab
    a drink together?
[00:35] ---
    Just you and me.
[00:37] ---
    I'll tell you everything there.
[00:39] ---
    You fool! I am the Hokage!
[00:42] ---
    And you're asking me to go
    drinking in broad daylight?!
[00:44] ---
    Have you no shame when
    our ninja are on duty?!
[00:48] ---
    SAKE
    BAR
[00:51] ---
    You know...
[00:53] ---
    You really ought to take your own words
    a bit more to heart.
[00:57] ---
    Drinking sake straight out
    of the bottle...
[01:01] ---
    Remember, you are the Hokage, right?
[02:34] ---
    Twilight
    
    
[02:40] ---
    That girl's late...
[02:42] ---
    How long does it take to
    pick up supplies...?
[02:46] ---
    I wish it would get dark soon...
[02:49] ---
    After Jugo and Suigetsu turn in,
[02:51] ---
    *I'll make my move on Sasuke
    while he sleeps!
[02:55] ---
    I'm so excited!
[03:07] ---
    This feeling...
[03:13] ---
    Well, Kiba?!
[03:15] ---
    I'm concentrating, trying to
    single out Sasuke's faint scent!
[03:18] ---
    So shut up! You're distracting me!
[03:26] ---
    *There's no mistake...
    They're steadily approaching.
[03:30] ---
    One...two...
[03:32] ---
    Their chakra is strong too.
[03:35] ---
    There're quite a few.
[03:41] ---
    I sense non-human chakra too.
[03:45] ---
    Dogs?
[03:46] ---
    Are they tracking our scent?
[03:48] ---
    Is it Akatsuki?
    Or maybe the Hidden Leaf?
[03:52] ---
    INN OKOSHI
[03:53] ---
    Jugo.
[03:55] ---
    I'm gonna go check on Karin.
[03:57] ---
    Yeah.
[04:04] ---
    Wh-What...?
[04:06] ---
    Wake up, Sasuke!
[04:08] ---
    We're going to have company!
    What do we do?!
[04:12] ---
    Sasuke just waking up...is also nice!
[04:15] ---
    We escape... Get ready.
[04:17] ---
    Jugo, mark every Akatsuki hideout
    that we know.
[04:30] ---
    You're okay now, Sasuke?
[04:32] ---
    Yeah. I've been healing a lot faster
    since I absorbed Orochimaru's power.
[04:37] ---
    So this is the Power of the White Snake...
[04:39] ---
    Whether it's Akatsuki
    or the Hidden Leaf,
[04:42] ---
    they might have information
    on Itachi.
[04:44] ---
    So why don't we ambush them, Sasuke?
[04:47] ---
    From what you reported about
    the number of people,
[04:50] ---
    it's most likely the Hidden Leaf.
[04:55] ---
    Akatsuki always work
    in two-man cells.
[04:58] ---
    Which means an ambush
    would be a waste of time.
[05:02] ---
    Exactly. Forget the Hidden Leaf.
[05:05] ---
    Then what'll we do?
[05:07] ---
    Itachi is our only priority.
[05:09] ---
    Once we locate him,
    worse comes to worst,
[05:12] ---
    you three must stop
    the Hidden Leaf.
[05:14] ---
    For now, team "Hebi" will use
    the information gathered by Jugo
[05:19] ---
    and check out Akatsuki hideouts
    one by one.
[05:21] ---
    All right...
[05:23] ---
    Let's go.
[05:30] ---
    Help me out for a second.
[05:32] ---
    With that?
[05:33] ---
    Can you gather as many birds
    as you can?
[05:36] ---
    What do you plan on doing?
[05:38] ---
    This is Sasuke's old outfit.
[05:41] ---
    It's soaked with his sweat
    and smell, so we'll use this to...
[05:43] ---
    Why would you have an outfit
    that Sasuke threw away?
[05:46] ---
    Uh...! Th-That...
    That's not important...
[05:50] ---
    Y-You jerk!
[05:53] ---
    A-Anyway...
[05:55] ---
    I hate to do this, but...
[05:57] ---
    Sensory-Type Ninja have
    different specialties
[05:59] ---
    depending on their village.
[06:02] ---
    The Hidden Leaf often
    use ninja hounds.
[06:04] ---
    So we'll use that to
    our advantage.
[06:10] ---
    What's wrong, Kiba?
[06:12] ---
    Shoot! Sasuke is starting to move!
[06:15] ---
    Let's hurry!
    Sasuke is going after Itachi!
[06:19] ---
    Hold it, something's wrong!
[06:22] ---
    Sasuke's scent is dispersing!
[06:24] ---
    Not only that,
    it's scattering in all directions!
[06:27] ---
    He's on to us.
    Taking strategic action.
[06:31] ---
    On to us? But how?!
[06:33] ---
    I don't know what kind of power.
[06:35] ---
    But I'm guessing he has
    a skilled Sensory-Type Ninja on his side.
[06:40] ---
    The distance is too great,
[06:42] ---
    so I can't guide you
    through the wireless.
[06:44] ---
    I'm the only one
    who can pursue him...
[06:46] ---
    But it's one scent. What'll we do?
[06:49] ---
    I'll find him if I have to search
    every blade of grass!
[06:53] ---
    With whatever means necessary!
[06:55] ---
    Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[07:06] ---
    It's up ahead...
[07:09] ---
    You guys wait until I give the order.
    I'll go and see.
[07:25] ---
    Who's that...?
[07:28] ---
    Sharingan?!
[07:30] ---
    Sasuke?!
[07:42] ---
    Th-That's--!
[07:46] ---
    Itachi...Uchiha!
[07:51] ---
    Come on out... Naruto Uzumaki.
[07:59] ---
    You've come to capture me?
[08:01] ---
    No...I didn't.
    I just came to talk to you.
[08:15] ---
    Like I'd ever trust you!
[08:21] ---
    When up against the Sharingan,
[08:23] ---
    if it's one on one, always run away.
[08:26] ---
    If it's two against one,
    get his back...
[08:29] ---
    But in his case...
[08:31] ---
    Even while making a seal,
[08:32] ---
    he can put his target under a genjutsu
    using only finger movements...
[08:36] ---
    I have to be careful!
[08:39] ---
    I know that you're alone.
    So why don't you run?
[08:43] ---
    Hah! My numbers can go from
    one to a thousand!
[08:47] ---
    Besides, I can't run away!
[08:50] ---
    If I capture you, I get to see Sasuke!
[08:59] ---
    Why are you so attached to my brother?
[09:02] ---
    He's a Rogue Ninja.
[09:07] ---
    That's because unlike you...
[09:10] ---
    I think of him as a brother
    more than you ever would.
[09:29] ---
    You're already under my genjutsu.
[09:33] ---
    Dammit!!
[09:40] ---
    I'll say it again.
[09:41] ---
    I just wanted to talk to you
    for a moment.
[09:47] ---
    This Akatsuki leader is in
    the Hidden Rain Village, correct?
[09:52] ---
    Yes.
[09:54] ---
    But that place conducts thorough checks
    of anyone entering and exiting their territory,
[09:58] ---
    and they track
    how long visitors stay.
[10:01] ---
    Just preparing for the Joint
    Chunin Exams is difficult each time
[10:03] ---
    because the village is
    so closed off to others.
[10:09] ---
    Doesn't seem like a place where
    the Akatsuki leader can move about freely.
[10:14] ---
    However...because security is so strict,
[10:18] ---
    they're able to keep other nations
    from learning about their internal affairs,
[10:21] ---
    and hence, keep a lid on any shame.
[10:24] ---
    Shame?
[10:26] ---
    It seems that land has seen
    much internal strife,
[10:30] ---
    and the village itself
    has been split into two.
[10:33] ---
    Word has it that the leader of one side
    is also the leader of Akatsuki.
[10:39] ---
    That land is surrounded by
[10:41] ---
    EARTH
    WIND FIRE
    the three great nations
    of Earth, Wind and Fire.
[10:44] ---
    And from ages past,
[10:46] ---
    it has been the battleground
    of their conflicts.
[10:50] ---
    As a result, there has never been
    domestic stability
[10:53] ---
    and the number of refugees
    is continually on the rise.
[10:55] ---
    That is why I will infiltrate
[10:58] ---
    and verify the information
    we have gathered.
[11:02] ---
    Then we can plan strategy...
[11:05] ---
    It's too dangerous to go alone!
[11:07] ---
    I am one of the Legendary Sannin
    of the Leaf.
[11:09] ---
    You know what that means as well.
[11:16] ---
    I'm sorry...
[11:19] ---
    that you always get
    the short end of the stick.
[11:24] ---
    What's with you?!
[11:26] ---
    I'm saying, you were
    supposed to be Hokage.
[11:30] ---
    The Third Hokage always wanted you
    to be the next to--
[11:34] ---
    I was never cut out for
    that sort of thing.
[11:36] ---
    Being on my own suits me too well...
[11:38] ---
    You regretted not being able
    to stop Orochimaru.
[11:41] ---
    So all that time,
[11:42] ---
    you were tracking his movements alone,
    isn't that right?
[11:49] ---
    I no longer need to do so.
[11:52] ---
    That means I get to release
    the sequel to my novel sooner.
[11:57] ---
    Fact is stranger than fiction, isn't it?
[12:01] ---
    Who would have imagined that
    Orochimaru would die...
[12:09] ---
    Remember how the three of us would
    go up against Old Man Third and...
[12:12] ---
    The flat-chested Tsunade has
    become the big-bosomed Hokage!
[12:16] ---
    Times are changing by the second.
[12:19] ---
    You were beautiful back then...
[12:21] ---
    and now, you're a
    fifty-something old granny.
[12:24] ---
    It pains me to see how all the memories
    of your lost friends and loved ones
[12:28] ---
    are stored inside
    that big breast of yours.
[12:31] ---
    And you know, the number
    will continue to grow.
[12:42] ---
    I guess I shouldn't
    wallow in sadness.
[12:46] ---
    My duty is to be a model
    for the next generation
[12:49] ---
    and to help them.
[12:55] ---
    For that, I'd happily give my life.
[12:58] ---
    It's what makes us old folks cool, see?
[13:18] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[13:21] ---
    Aren't you after me?
    Then this is your...!
[13:25] ---
    I'm going now...
[13:28] ---
    I have an important task to do.
[13:33] ---
    Shadow Clone...
[13:35] ---
    What was that?
[13:38] ---
    Damn! This one's a bust too!
[13:47] ---
    What's wrong, Naruto?
[13:48] ---
    Oh, nothing...
[13:51] ---
    Did something happen?
[13:53] ---
    I just tripped.
[13:56] ---
    Never mind that.
    Kiba, track the next scent.
[14:05] ---
    Your drinking habits are
    worse than mine...
[14:08] ---
    Want to stop and rest somewhere?
[14:11] ---
    It's late. We have to go home.
[14:14] ---
    - Okay!
    - Okay!
[14:16] ---
    Hey, wait up!
[14:20] ---
    Akatsuki...
[14:22] ---
    The leader is capable of organizing
    a group so powerful...
[14:26] ---
    Who knows how strong he may be?
[14:29] ---
    You'll be walking right into
    the enemy's territory.
[14:34] ---
    Well then... I should set out.
[14:39] ---
    Come back alive...
[14:43] ---
    If I lost you too... I...
[14:47] ---
    You'll cry for me?
    That'll make me happy!
[14:51] ---
    But I doubt that it'll be
    like the time Dan died.
[14:55] ---
    You idiot!
[14:57] ---
    Then how about making a bet with me?
[15:01] ---
    You bet that I will die.
[15:05] ---
    After all, you always lose.
[15:10] ---
    But if I make it back alive...
[15:26] ---
    Joking! I'm just joking!
[15:28] ---
    You know, I'm grateful to you.
[15:33] ---
    Rejection makes a man stronger.
[15:35] ---
    MAKE-OUT PARADISE
    
    In other words,
    you can't call yourself a real man
[15:39] ---
    unless you can laugh off stuff like that.
[15:41] ---
    Better yet, make a joke out it.
[15:45] ---
    So a man's duty is to be strong?
[15:48] ---
    Kind of...
[15:50] ---
    And besides... men aren't the only ones
    who seek happiness.
[15:56] ---
    Humph... Stop trying to act so cool.
[15:59] ---
    Without a woman,
    you guys can't be rejected.
[16:03] ---
    That's so true.
[16:24] ---
    If anything happens,
    contact me through your toad.
[16:28] ---
    I'll rush over myself.
[16:30] ---
    No need for that.
    You must not leave here.
[16:35] ---
    The village relies on you now.
[16:38] ---
    There are other candidates
    for Hokage.
[16:41] ---
    There can be no stability
    if the Hokage keeps changing.
[16:45] ---
    Right now, you are the only one
    who can be Hokage.
[16:50] ---
    There's Kakashi.
[16:52] ---
    And eventually, there's also Naruto...
[16:57] ---
    You're really sold on Naruto, aren't you?
[17:02] ---
    Although, I can understand...
[17:05] ---
    Your kid brother Nawaki...
    Your sweetheart Dan...
[17:14] ---
    - It's my dream to become Hokage.
    - It's my dream to become Hokage.
[17:21] ---
    And Naruto too...
[17:24] ---
    I guess you could say
    they chased the same dream.
[17:28] ---
    Sure, Kakashi can step in.
[17:31] ---
    But Naruto still has a long way to go,
    even though you gave him your necklace.
[17:35] ---
    You have high hopes
    for him too...
[17:39] ---
    You taught him the Rasengan.
[17:41] ---
    Oh that... Well, call it nostalgia.
[17:44] ---
    It reminded me of the days
    when I taught Minato.
[17:48] ---
    Minato Namikaze...
    True, Naruto does resemble him.
[17:52] ---
    Minato was a genius that appears
    only once in a generation.
[17:57] ---
    There won't be another like him.
[18:00] ---
    He was kind-hearted,
    but had nerves of steel.
[18:04] ---
    He rose to become
    the Fourth Hokage so swiftly.
[18:07] ---
    I've never been a parent, so I don't know
    much about these things...
[18:10] ---
    but if he had been my son,
    I think I'd have been awfully proud.
[18:16] ---
    Now that you mention it...
    Naruto might not resemble him, after all.
[18:20] ---
    Rather than a son
    you boast about,
[18:23] ---
    he'd be the problem child,
    always up to mischief.
[18:25] ---
    Naruto is more like his mother...
[18:30] ---
    Wasn't she a former kunoichi
    from the Land of Eddies...?
[18:33] ---
    Yeah... His personality and ninjutsu style
    is just like Kushina Uzumaki.
[18:38] ---
    Yes...that's her name!
[18:41] ---
    That talkative, red-haired rascal...
    She was such a tomboy.
[18:46] ---
    Kushina grew up to be a beauty,
    but Naruto looks like his father.
[18:52] ---
    I can see Naruto's father in him...
[18:56] ---
    To me, it feels as though
    I'm looking at my grandson.
[19:01] ---
    It is being passed on...
[19:03] ---
    the will of the Leaf,
    from the past to the future.
[19:18] ---
    I guess I'll be off.
[19:25] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[19:27] ---
    I had one last warning for you.
[19:29] ---
    Huh?
[19:32] ---
    Beware of the Foundation.
[19:35] ---
    Yeah... I know.
[19:37] ---
    Ah... Good then.
[19:44] ---
    Farewell.
[21:36] ---
    Now, now, now!
    
    
[21:38] ---
    Those from afar, listen carefully!
    
    
[21:40] ---
    Those up close, come and see!
    
    
[21:42] ---
    I am the super hot ninja
    of the Leaf!
    
    
[21:46] ---
    I can hear the wild cheers
    of all the girls!
    
    
[21:49] ---
    I may steal your hearts,
    but they won't shatter!
    
    
[21:52] ---
    I help the weak and fight the strong!
    
    
[21:54] ---
    Now let the tale
    of Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls begin!
    
    
[21:59] ---
    Next time: "Tales of a Gutsy Ninja
    ~ Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls ~ Part 1"
    
    
[22:05] ---
    TSUNADE'S ROOM
[22:08] ---
    Now then, today's guest is...
[22:09] ---
    Hold it right there!
[22:12] ---
    The most holy hermit sage
    of the spirit of Mt. Myoboku Toads!
[22:15] ---
    I am the great Master Jiraiya!
[22:19] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[22:20] ---
    What a greeting!
    Aren't you happy to see me?
[22:23] ---
    Well, we don't have much to talk about.
[22:27] ---
    Don't say that. How about dwelling
    into my heroic tales?
[22:31] ---
    Heroic tales, huh...?
[22:32] ---
    Yeah, something that'll make the women
    watching their TV shout for joy.
[22:36] ---
    You mean like long ago...
[22:37] ---
    for the crime of peeking
    into the hot springs...
[22:39] ---
    the Third Hokage made
    you sit for hours...
[22:42] ---
    or the time you had
    a book-signing for your first novel...
[22:45] ---
    it didn't sell at all and
    not one single soul showed up?
[22:49] ---
    There must be more than that!
[22:51] ---
    Hmm... Can't think of anything.
[22:53] ---
    I guess that's all I am to you, huh?
[22:56] ---
    - Oh!
    - That's right. Tell them that!
[22:59] ---
    Time's up. Goodbye.
[23:02] ---
    What?!
[23:04] ---
    Tune in again!
