**[00:02] ---**
Naruto.
**[00:06] ---**
I...
**[00:11] ---**
You'll be fine.
**[00:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:24] ---**
What's the matter, Naruto?
**[00:26] ---**
Sorry, Captain Yamato.
**[00:28] ---**
Would you mind going on ahead
without me?
**[00:30] ---**
I'm returning to that village.
**[00:32] ---**
Return?
**[00:33] ---**
Something keeps...bothering me.
**[00:37] ---**
*I can't help but think about
*the way those villagers looked at her.*
**[00:40] ---**
Wait, Naruto!
**[00:52] ---**
*Damn, I have a bad feeling
*about this.*
**[01:08] ---**
You must be exhausted after
your long journey, Hotaru.
**[01:12] ---**
Come...
**[01:13] ---**
Umm...
**[01:21] ---**
Follow me.
**[01:26] ---**
What is the Chief thinking?
**[01:28] ---**
Does he really intend to
shelter her here?
**[01:30] ---**
You've got to be kidding.
**[01:32] ---**
If something happens, we'll get--
**[01:34] ---**
Hush! You talk too much.
**[01:41] ---**
Should I have not come back?
**[01:45] ---**
Of course not.
**[01:47] ---**
You're finally home.
**[01:48] ---**
You must get some rest.
**[01:52] ---**
Thank you.
**[01:55] ---**
Well then...
**[02:01] ---**
We finally meet the granddaughter
of En no Gyoja.
**[02:05] ---**
Who's there?!
**[02:18] ---**
We knew you would rely
on this village.
**[02:25] ---**
You're the ones who attacked the fort!
**[02:30] ---**
Someone, help! Bandits!
**[02:32] ---**
Uncle, please open the door! Uncle!
**[02:36] ---**
Somebody!
**[02:39] ---**
It's useless.
**[02:40] ---**
Now, hand over the Forbidden Jutsu.
**[02:43] ---**
No!
**[02:57] ---**
Don't give us trouble!
**[02:59] ---**
Hey, hey... Be more gentle
when handling a lady.
**[03:03] ---**
You should talk.
**[03:07] ---**
Bro.
**[03:12] ---**
So this is the hidden jutsu in question...
**[03:29] ---**
So it was rigged, eh?
**[03:31] ---**
Sassy kid...
**[03:33] ---**
After her! Don't let her get away.
**[03:39] ---**
*To think they had already
*taken steps*
**[03:41] ---**
*in the Tsuchigumo village...*
**[03:44] ---**
*I have to get away from here.*
**[03:52] ---**
So she ran into the forest...
**[04:15] ---**
Found you, girlie.
**[04:19] ---**
Water Style: Raging Waves!
**[04:28] ---**
Don't let a petty jutsu like that
bring you down, Chushin.
**[04:31] ---**
Shut up! She just caught me
by surprise, is all.
**[04:36] ---**
Playtime is over. Tell me.
**[04:40] ---**
Where is the Forbidden Jutsu?
**[04:46] ---**
What a pain.
**[04:48] ---**
I'd talk now if I were you.
**[04:51] ---**
Benten might look like a girl,
but he's scary when he's mad.
**[04:55] ---**
I won't talk!
**[04:57] ---**
That is my people's last hope.
**[05:00] ---**
Geez... This is getting ridiculous.
**[05:04] ---**
If you don't want to talk,
I'll help you get into the mood.
**[05:11] ---**
Don't kill her.
**[05:13] ---**
That's all up to her.
**[05:25] ---**
What?!
**[05:31] ---**
What's all this racket?
Can't a guy even take a nap?
**[05:37] ---**
Sir Utakata!
**[05:39] ---**
You! You're still alive?
**[05:42] ---**
We got you back there for sure!
**[05:48] ---**
Well, sorry to disappoint you.
**[05:54] ---**
It's not like I wanna fight you guys...
**[05:58] ---**
But I have business with her too.
**[07:31] ---**
*The Successor's Wish
*
**[07:36] ---**
What? She's gone?!
**[07:39] ---**
What's up with that?!
**[07:41] ---**
I'm not sure myself.
This is where I hid Hotaru.
**[07:47] ---**
Then there was a loud noise
and when I rushed over, she was...
**[07:53] ---**
All right. I'll help you find her.
**[07:55] ---**
Tell me where you've searched already.
**[07:58] ---**
Well, um... We haven't started
the search yet.
**[08:02] ---**
What?!
**[08:05] ---**
Why didn't you search
for her immediately?
**[08:08] ---**
Judging by the damage,
it's obvious something happened!
**[08:12] ---**
Yes...but...
**[08:17] ---**
What's wrong with you?!
Isn't she one of your people?!
**[08:21] ---**
Enough, Naruto.
**[08:25] ---**
Yelling won't help.
**[08:27] ---**
Captain Yamato.
What are you doing here?
**[08:30] ---**
We were also worried,
so we rushed back.
**[08:34] ---**
It seems we were right.
**[08:37] ---**
When did you last see her?
**[08:39] ---**
Just a while ago.
**[08:41] ---**
After you brought Hotaru here,
I showed her to this room.
**[08:45] ---**
Then not much time has passed.
**[08:49] ---**
Let's hurry, Naruto.
**[08:50] ---**
But...
**[08:57] ---**
Her safety is our main concern
right now.
**[09:06] ---**
Sir Utakata, you came to save me!
**[09:09] ---**
That's not quite the case,
but we'd better do something here.
**[09:18] ---**
What's with this guy?
**[09:20] ---**
I thought our jutsu hit him that time.
**[09:23] ---**
Are you scheming to steal
our treasure away from us?
**[09:27] ---**
I won't let you.
**[09:30] ---**
Acid Flower!
**[09:37] ---**
Nango, come back!
**[09:42] ---**
Oh... It missed.
**[09:45] ---**
Why you--!
**[09:58] ---**
Surround him!
We'll bring him down this time.
**[10:12] ---**
He's outside our formation!
**[10:14] ---**
So long.
**[10:16] ---**
Not so fast!
**[10:17] ---**
Sir Utakata!
**[10:26] ---**
He's fast.
**[10:29] ---**
They can't have gone far.
Let's go after them.
**[10:33] ---**
Forget it.
**[10:38] ---**
Boss.
**[10:40] ---**
Why? Are you just gonna let
our treasure get away?
**[10:48] ---**
This is the Mist's Bingo Book.
**[10:51] ---**
We've stumbled across
a very interesting guy.
**[10:57] ---**
Meaning his head's worth enough
to be in this book?
**[11:01] ---**
Wow... 50 million ryo.
**[11:04] ---**
We're in luck.
**[11:05] ---**
The girl's jutsu is worth a fortune,
and now this.
**[11:09] ---**
We'll be rolling in money.
**[11:10] ---**
But with a bounty this high,
he's bound to be a formidable foe.
**[11:16] ---**
Hah! Don't get cold feet now!
This is our big chance.
**[11:21] ---**
What? I'm just...
**[11:23] ---**
Hey! Pipe down.
So what'll we do, Boss?
**[11:34] ---**
Let's see...
**[11:47] ---**
*It's my fault. I...*
**[11:52] ---**
*I should've returned right away.*
**[11:55] ---**
Can I ask you a question?
**[11:58] ---**
Our mission was to protect the girl
**[12:00] ---**
until she reached
Tsuchigumo village safely, right?
**[12:03] ---**
That was supposed to be it.
**[12:05] ---**
But if we can't completely guarantee
that she's safe,
**[12:09] ---**
the mission had no meaning.
**[12:12] ---**
This mission is based on a treaty
which was drawn up
**[12:15] ---**
by the Third Hokage and En no Gyoja
of the Tsuchigumo Clan.
**[12:19] ---**
So if the current Tsuchigumo Clan
cannot protect her,
**[12:24] ---**
then it's our job to do so.
**[12:33] ---**
Sai, can you scan the entire area
and search for her?
**[12:37] ---**
Understood.
**[12:45] ---**
Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll.
**[12:52] ---**
*Hold on...
*We'll find you for sure!*
**[13:15] ---**
Sir Utakata, where are we?
**[13:30] ---**
Wow...
**[13:34] ---**
So high!
**[13:57] ---**
This should be good.
**[14:01] ---**
I thought I was done for.
**[14:03] ---**
You are amazing, after all.
**[14:06] ---**
Don't get me wrong.
I didn't mean to save you.
**[14:11] ---**
Then why did you come?
**[14:13] ---**
Well... Let's just say
I became curious
**[14:16] ---**
about this Forbidden Jutsu
those guys seem to want so badly.
**[14:21] ---**
You're lying. You're not like that.
**[14:25] ---**
Never can tell.
There's not a person in the world
**[14:28] ---**
who doesn't love
the smell of money.
**[14:30] ---**
Don't pretend to be a villain.
**[14:40] ---**
You have a knack for putting me
off balance.
**[14:45] ---**
But what will you do now?
**[14:48] ---**
Those guys aren't the only ones
who'll target that jutsu.
**[14:51] ---**
Others are bound to turn up.
**[14:53] ---**
You're right.
**[14:55] ---**
That's why I must get stronger.
**[14:58] ---**
That's why I want to become
your stu--
**[15:00] ---**
Stop right there. I'm not listening.
**[15:03] ---**
Besides, this keepsake of
your grandfather or whatever...
**[15:06] ---**
Why are you so determined to protect it?
**[15:09] ---**
Well...
**[15:11] ---**
It's to honor the wishes
of my master.
**[15:16] ---**
Grandfather was also my first master.
**[15:21] ---**
A master and student must
be one in thought.
**[15:24] ---**
That's why I want to fulfill the dream
that my grandfather could not.
**[15:28] ---**
In order to restore
the Tsuchigumo Clan,
**[15:31] ---**
I cannot lose this jutsu.
**[15:46] ---**
Hmph... One in thought?
**[15:50] ---**
Such a stupid delusion.
**[15:54] ---**
Where are you going?
**[15:56] ---**
I'm under no obligation
to stick around.
**[15:59] ---**
If you wanna play master and student,
go somewhere else.
**[16:01] ---**
It's not play!
I'm serious about you!
**[16:06] ---**
I want to call you my master!
**[16:08] ---**
You can't stop me, you know.
**[16:10] ---**
I know that.
But my feelings won't change.
**[16:16] ---**
That is why...
**[16:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:24] ---**
I-Idiot! What're you doing?!
**[16:27] ---**
I want you to see me...
**[16:33] ---**
Everything about me.
**[17:05] ---**
Hotaru...you...
**[17:10] ---**
How could they?
**[17:13] ---**
No one knows about this...
**[17:15] ---**
But I didn't want to hide it from you.
**[17:19] ---**
Please, Sir Utakata...
**[17:21] ---**
- I...
- Don't say it!
**[17:30] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:35] ---**
Hidden Jutsu: Kirisame.
**[17:44] ---**
Shoot!
**[17:50] ---**
As I thought...
This rain is Kirisame...
**[17:53] ---**
Utakata.
**[17:54] ---**
There is no escape for you now.
**[17:57] ---**
What's going on?
**[17:59] ---**
We cannot keep the village
waiting any longer.
**[18:02] ---**
You guys sure are persistent.
Stay back, Hotaru.
**[18:08] ---**
Water Style: Water Whip!
**[18:12] ---**
Hotaru!
**[18:15] ---**
I'll say it once more.
Cease resisting and come with us.
**[18:19] ---**
If you try anything, this girl will die.
**[18:24] ---**
Sir Utakata...
**[18:27] ---**
Let me make it clear that
she is nothing to me.
**[18:31] ---**
I couldn't care less what happens.
**[18:34] ---**
I see. We'll see about that.
**[18:46] ---**
I see that worked.
Now return to the village with us.
**[18:51] ---**
No matter how many times you ask,
the answer will be the same.
**[18:54] ---**
Then we have no choice.
**[18:58] ---**
Lightning Style: Earth Flash!
**[19:04] ---**
Sir Utakata!
**[19:05] ---**
Don't take this personally.
**[19:07] ---**
We absolutely must take him
back to our village.
**[19:11] ---**
Such cruelty... Please stop.
**[19:14] ---**
This isn't enough to kill him.
**[19:17] ---**
I'm just restricting a little of
his strength.
**[19:20] ---**
Stop it! Just what did Sir Utakata
do anyway?!
**[19:25] ---**
Utakata is a heinous criminal
who killed his master
**[19:28] ---**
and escaped from the village.
**[19:32] ---**
We need to tie him up. Get started.
**[19:35] ---**
- Yes sir!
- Yes sir!
**[19:38] ---**
Rasengan!
**[19:41] ---**
What?!
**[19:46] ---**
*What's going on?*
**[19:50] ---**
You guys are pretty rotten,
taking a hostage.
**[19:53] ---**
Naruto!
**[19:58] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[21:37] ---**
Let her go, bastards!
**[21:39] ---**
Wait, Naruto.
**[21:40] ---**
Why are you stopping me?!
**[21:42] ---**
Those masks...
They're Tracking Ninjas.
**[21:45] ---**
They're not after Hotaru.
It's Utakata.
**[21:48] ---**
He's a Rogue Ninja listed in
the Hidden Mist's Bingo Book.
**[21:52] ---**
What?!
**[21:53] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Rogue Ninja's Past"
**[21:58] ---**
What's his story?
**[22:06] ---**
Man, did I eat!
**[22:08] ---**
Winters are made for hotpots!
**[22:10] ---**
The Chinese cabbage tasted great.
**[22:12] ---**
Okay...
**[22:13] ---**
Time for ramen.
**[22:15] ---**
Huh?
**[22:16] ---**
Huh?! A cockroach!
**[22:18] ---**
There!
**[22:21] ---**
What're you doing?!
**[22:23] ---**
Every living creature has a soul.
**[22:25] ---**
Don't kill recklessly.
**[22:28] ---**
Besides, it appeared because
this room isn't clean,
**[22:31] ---**
and that's the owner's fault.
**[22:33] ---**
Uh...
**[22:35] ---**
But we can't just let it run around.
**[22:37] ---**
True...
**[22:38] ---**
They say that wherever there's one,
there's a hundred more somewhere.
**[22:42] ---**
Fine. I'll handle this then.
**[22:45] ---**
I'm going to use
my Beetle-Summoning Hidden Jutsu
**[22:48] ---**
and return them to the forest.
**[22:51] ---**
Okay, then get right to it!
**[22:54] ---**
Fine.
**[22:56] ---**
Hidden Jutsu! Beetle-Summoning!
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
