[00:23] ---
    Say, that boy...
[00:25] ---
    *He's the one. The only one
    who failed to make it!
[00:29] ---
    Humph! Good for him!
[00:32] ---
    *It would be terrible if someone
    like him became a ninja.
[00:35] ---
    I mean that boy is actually...
[00:36] ---
    *Don't say another word.
    It's taboo.
[00:43] ---
    Damn! What's with all this?!
[02:17] ---
    Heir to Darkness
    
    
[02:25] ---
    Good thing I took extra measures,
    just in case.
[02:46] ---
    They haven't returned yet.
[02:52] ---
    Naruto?
[02:53] ---
    Why you...!
[02:54] ---
    Wait, Naruto! Stop!
[02:56] ---
    No, Captain Yamato!
    Let me just say this!
[03:01] ---
    Old man Tonbei!
[03:03] ---
    You knew the Forbidden Jutsu
    was embedded
[03:05] ---
    into Hotaru's back, didn't you?!
[03:11] ---
    Answer me!
[03:14] ---
    The Forbidden Jutsu is in that girl?
[03:23] ---
    Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
[03:25] ---
    Please stop!
    It was my grandfather.
[03:28] ---
    You served Hotaru's grandfather
    all through the years, didn't you?
[03:32] ---
    So why didn't you stop him?!
[03:35] ---
    Please stop, Naruto!
[03:37] ---
    No, I won't stop!
[03:39] ---
    Because of that...
    Because of that, you're...
[03:41] ---
    I asked that it be done!
[03:48] ---
    What did you say?
[03:50] ---
    I...I asked for the Forbidden Jutsu!
[03:55] ---
    Lady Hotaru...
[04:00] ---
    Hotaru... Why do such a thing?
[04:17] ---
    Tonbei... I'm glad you're all right.
[04:21] ---
    I should say that about you,
    Lady Hotaru.
[04:25] ---
    Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
    Sir Utakata...
[04:29] ---
    I am beholden to you
    for all you have done for us.
[04:33] ---
    Don't mention it.
[04:34] ---
    But the Tsuchigumo Village was already
    under the bandit's control.
[04:39] ---
    I see... And that is why
    you returned here...
[04:42] ---
    Yes.
[04:44] ---
    Never mind that.
[04:45] ---
    Tell us the rest of what
    you were saying earlier!
[04:48] ---
    About the Forbidden Jutsu?
[04:51] ---
    Yeah.
[04:53] ---
    It was Grandfather's dream.
[04:57] ---
    En no Gyoja's...?
[05:01] ---
    The Tsuchigumo Clan was once
    hailed as a proud clan.
[05:04] ---
    By possessing
    a powerful Forbidden Jutsu,
[05:07] ---
    we were said to even be able to tilt
    the balance of the Great Ninja War.
[05:12] ---
    But at the same time,
[05:14] ---
    our clan was targeted often
    because of the Forbidden Jutsu.
[05:17] ---
    And one life after another was lost.
[05:21] ---
    When the Great War was over,
[05:23] ---
    only a few remained who could
    wield the Forbidden Jutsu.
[05:28] ---
    Furthermore, Lord En no Gyoja and
[05:30] ---
    the village elder had disagreements
    over the clan's survival.
[05:35] ---
    This led to the clan splitting
    into two groups
[05:38] ---
    with one in
    the Tsuchigumo Village and
[05:41] ---
    the other at Mount Katsuragi.
[05:45] ---
    However, Lord En no Gyoja was
    already quite advanced in years
[05:49] ---
    and few opted to follow him
    to Mount Katsuragi.
[05:58] ---
    Hotaru...I'm counting on you.
[06:01] ---
    The future of the Tsuchigumo Clan...
[06:15] ---
    Grandfather!
[06:20] ---
    Grandfather believed that
    protecting the Tsuchigumo name
[06:24] ---
    was the way to make amends and
[06:28] ---
    honor those who lost their lives
    for the Forbidden Jutsu.
[06:34] ---
    That is why I want to carry
    on the wish of my grandfather,
[06:37] ---
    who was my master.
[06:40] ---
    How stupid.
[06:45] ---
    Just for that you had the Forbidden Jutsu
    embedded in your body?
[06:49] ---
    For your master, for your clan...
    It's all so stupid.
[06:53] ---
    Even so, it's a student's duty
    to carry out
[06:55] ---
    the wishes of her master!
[06:58] ---
    Hotaru...
[07:03] ---
    You wouldn't understand...
    Master Utakata...how I feel.
[07:08] ---
    Lady Hotaru,
    perhaps Sir Utakata is right.
[07:13] ---
    Tonbei?
[07:16] ---
    It is evident that
[07:17] ---
    the Tsuchigumo Clan no longer
    has the strength
[07:19] ---
    to safeguard the Forbidden Jutsu.
[07:22] ---
    If we allowed the misuse
    of the Forbidden Jutsu,
[07:24] ---
    Lord En no Gyoja would
    surely turn in his grave.
[07:29] ---
    To prevent its misuse,
[07:31] ---
    we have no choice
    but to destroy the jutsu.
[07:35] ---
    Destroy?
[07:38] ---
    And how would you do that?!
[07:40] ---
    The Forbidden Jutsu is
    inside Hotaru's body!
[07:44] ---
    You don't mean...!
[07:45] ---
    Don't get me wrong.
[07:50] ---
    Mr. Tonbei...
    You mustn't move too much.
[07:52] ---
    Do not be concerned.
[08:06] ---
    What is this?
[08:08] ---
    Lord En no Gyoja entrusted me
    with that scroll.
[08:13] ---
    It contains the way to
    remove the Forbidden Jutsu
[08:17] ---
    from Lady Hotaru's body.
[08:20] ---
    Is there such a method?
[08:23] ---
    Lord En no Gyoja would never have
    embedded the Forbidden Jutsu
[08:27] ---
    into Lady Hotaru without
    a way to remove it.
[08:31] ---
    What kind of master would
    even think of such a thing?
[08:37] ---
    Please forgive me.
[08:39] ---
    I should have advised you sooner.
[08:42] ---
    Once it is removed from your body,
[08:45] ---
    the Forbidden Jutsu will
    no longer have any power.
[08:49] ---
    I also longed to restore
    the clan's former glory.
[08:53] ---
    Without the Forbidden Jutsu,
    that dream would fade.
[08:57] ---
    But this is how it should be.
[09:00] ---
    You can't be serious!
[09:01] ---
    Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
[09:03] ---
    Please help me remove
    the Forbidden Jutsu from Lady Hotaru.
[09:07] ---
    However, we cannot make
    such decisions on our own.
[09:11] ---
    Then hurry up and get
    Granny Tsunade's permission.
[09:15] ---
    We can't just leave Hotaru like this!
[09:17] ---
    Please wait!
[09:18] ---
    I haven't decided to let go
    of the Forbidden Jutsu yet!
[09:22] ---
    But Lady Hotaru...
[09:24] ---
    Not only the Forbidden Jutsu,
[09:26] ---
    but also your life would be in peril!
[09:29] ---
    It's my life!
[09:38] ---
    Come to your senses!
[09:41] ---
    Sir Utakata...
[09:44] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[09:47] ---
    Are you telling me to abandon
    my clan pride and honor?!
[09:53] ---
    Hey, wait!
[09:54] ---
    Naruto!
[09:57] ---
    I'll bring her back!
[10:00] ---
    Lady Hotaru...
[10:02] ---
    I'll go and convince her.
[10:04] ---
    Hold on, please!
[10:05] ---
    We cannot let you move around.
[10:08] ---
    She can't have gone far.
    I'll be right back.
[10:12] ---
    I won't put Hotaru in danger.
[10:15] ---
    All right. Sakura, go with him!
[10:18] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:20] ---
    I'd be better at scouting her out.
[10:23] ---
    There's something I want you
    to do right now.
[10:27] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:37] ---
    Grandfather...
[10:41] ---
    Hotaru...take a look.
[10:44] ---
    *Once, the Tsuchigumo clan was
    known far beyond those mountains,
[10:50] ---
    *and all one could see from here
    was part of our lands.
[10:54] ---
    Our clan was so grand, wasn't it?
[11:00] ---
    Are you crying? Grandfather...
[11:04] ---
    Was I wrong?
[11:07] ---
    *If I had not been the leader,
    would the Tsuchigumo Clan...?
[11:25] ---
    So your grandfather's grave is here?
[11:28] ---
    I picked those near by.
[11:31] ---
    Thank you, Naruto.
[11:34] ---
    With a view like this,
[11:36] ---
    your grandpa must be very happy
    to be buried here.
[11:43] ---
    I'm sure he's worried about you.
[11:47] ---
    He's right. Let's go back, Hotaru.
[11:52] ---
    Sir Utakata.
[12:01] ---
    Well? Let's go.
[12:05] ---
    But I...
[12:07] ---
    If you truly wish to restore
    your clan's glory,
[12:11] ---
    you don't need to rely
    on such a thing.
[12:14] ---
    Having too much power only
    gives rise to suffering.
[12:24] ---
    I'm the prime example...
[12:30] ---
    Right, Naruto?
[12:32] ---
    Huh?
[12:34] ---
    There's still one other way.
[12:37] ---
    Another way?
[12:39] ---
    There is someone named Shiranami
    among the Tsuchigumo Clan...
[12:43] ---
    who is able to use
    the Forbidden Jutsu.
[12:48] ---
    Who's Shiranami?
[12:50] ---
    He is grandfather's student.
[12:52] ---
    En no Gyoja's student?
[12:55] ---
    Well, more correctly,
    he is the student's student.
[12:59] ---
    Sir Shiranami's father, Sir Hato,
    was my grandfather's first student.
[13:06] ---
    I have heard that he was brilliant
    with exceptional ninjutsu skills.
[13:12] ---
    And it was said that his son,
    Sir Shiranami, was even more skilled.
[13:19] ---
    But during the Great War,
    Sir Shiranami's father was killed
[13:23] ---
    trying to protect the Forbidden Jutsu.
[13:26] ---
    Grandfather sensed that
    Sir Shiranami was also in danger
[13:31] ---
    and had him flee the village.
[13:33] ---
    Grandfather often said that
    if those two were here now,
[13:39] ---
    this village would not be
    in such dire straits.
[13:45] ---
    So where is this Shiranami fellow now?
[13:49] ---
    You know of anything?
[13:50] ---
    Well...
[13:52] ---
    There's no telling when
    the bandits will return.
[13:57] ---
    We have no time to look for Shiranami.
[13:59] ---
    Make up your mind, Hotaru.
[14:04] ---
    All right then! I'll go and
    find this Shiranami!
[14:08] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[14:12] ---
    Actually...Hotaru...
[14:14] ---
    I'm sorta in the same dilemma as you.
[14:17] ---
    You too, Naruto?
[14:19] ---
    Naruto...that's...
[14:24] ---
    I can't go into detail,
    but deep down,
[14:27] ---
    I've always been troubled by it.
[14:32] ---
    Anyway, I can be like this now
    because people like Sakura,
[14:35] ---
    the Pervy Sage and all the rest
    of my friends have stayed by me.
[14:39] ---
    But Hotaru, you're awfully strong.
[14:42] ---
    You accepted those troubles
    and you've suffered all alone.
[14:47] ---
    Carrying your clan and
    your grandpa's dream on your shoulders.
[14:55] ---
    That's why I want you to
    fulfill your dream.
[14:59] ---
    If this Shiranami fellow is found,
    he'll be an ally, right?
[15:04] ---
    Then you won't be alone.
[15:07] ---
    And you don't have to suffer
    by yourself.
[15:10] ---
    Naruto...
[15:12] ---
    Now don't worry.
[15:14] ---
    Just leave it to me, Naruto Uzumaki.
[15:20] ---
    Give me one...no, two days.
[15:24] ---
    I'll find Shiranami without fail.
[15:37] ---
    What a surprise.
[15:38] ---
    *I never would've guessed my name
    would be mentioned here.
[16:02] ---
    Is there some kind of trouble?
[16:06] ---
    I see...
[16:08] ---
    It's pretty much what I imagined.
[16:17] ---
    What will you do?
[16:19] ---
    It will be dangerous to keep
    the Forbidden Jutsu intact.
[16:23] ---
    But it says here they want to
    keep the Forbidden Jutsu
[16:26] ---
    and guard the girl at the Leaf village.
[16:30] ---
    Without a doubt, it's necessary
    to keep the Forbidden Jutsu
[16:33] ---
    from falling into
    a third party's possession.
[16:40] ---
    Cripes... I acted like finding the guy
    was no big deal for me,
[16:43] ---
    but where do I start looking?
[16:45] ---
    Well, it's no use thinking about it.
[16:47] ---
    This calls for the strength
    in numbers approach!
[16:50] ---
    Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[16:58] ---
    Naruto is...?
[17:00] ---
    Indeed, if Shiranami returns
    to the village, we could...
[17:03] ---
    Can he find him in only two days?
[17:06] ---
    We may not be able to wait
    that long.
[17:10] ---
    If the bandits attack again
    before Naruto returns...
[17:14] ---
    You're right...
[17:16] ---
    Just in case, we'll make preparations
[17:18] ---
    and stand by to purge
    the Forbidden Jutsu.
[17:22] ---
    You understand, Hotaru?
[17:25] ---
    Yes.
[17:27] ---
    It looks like the Diremption Jutsu
    requires potions.
[17:31] ---
    Sakura, you'll be in charge.
[17:33] ---
    Mix the potion and be ready.
[17:35] ---
    Understood.
[17:48] ---
    *Lord En no Gyoja would never
    have embedded the Forbidden Jutsu
[17:52] ---
    *into Lady Hotaru without
    a way to remove it.
[17:56] ---
    *What kind of master would
    even think of such a thing?
[18:06] ---
    M-Master...?!
[18:13] ---
    No, Utakata! He didn't...
[18:16] ---
    *Harusame didn't try to kill you.
    It wasn't like that.
[18:21] ---
    *Could it be...
    that Tsurugi spoke the truth?
[18:26] ---
    *If so, then what was
    Master trying to tell me?
[18:31] ---
    I must speak to Tsurugi once more.
[18:41] ---
    Say, ever heard of a guy
    named Shiranami?
[18:47] ---
    Do you know a guy
    named Shiranami?
[18:52] ---
    I see... Don't know him, huh?
[18:55] ---
    Anything you know?
[18:58] ---
    If you find out, tell me,
    Naruto of the Hidden Leaf!
[19:08] ---
    It's no use...
[19:11] ---
    I've used up my chakra and
[19:12] ---
    I don't even have a clue.
[19:15] ---
    What's the matter?
[19:17] ---
    Standing in the middle
    of the road like this.
[19:20] ---
    Well... I'm looking for someone
[19:22] ---
    and just can't seem to find him.
[19:24] ---
    Hmm... Who might that be?
[19:27] ---
    A guy named Shiranami.
[19:30] ---
    Shiranami...
[19:31] ---
    Oh, there is such a man.
[19:33] ---
    No kidding!
[19:35] ---
    Is that true?!
    Are you sure about this, old man?!
[19:37] ---
    Yes. There's a man by that name
    who lives in a small hut
[19:42] ---
    by the waterfall beyond this mountain,
    and does ninja training.
[19:47] ---
    Beyond this mountain, right?!
    Thanks, old man!
[19:51] ---
    Found him!
[20:06] ---
    Sir Utakata...
    Don't tell me he already left...
[20:18] ---
    Come on out, Tsurugi.
[20:20] ---
    *Tell me what you had to
    say one more time.
[20:39] ---
    Utakata is on the move.
[20:41] ---
    I see...Utakata...
    Is he trying to lure me?
[20:46] ---
    - Let's go!
    - Yes, sir!
[21:00] ---
    What?!
[22:37] ---
    I finally got a lead!
    
    
[22:39] ---
    This Shiranami of
    the Tsuchigumo Clan
    
    
[22:42] ---
    was supposed to be a skilled ninja...
    
    
[22:44] ---
    I'm sure the guy training
    in the mountains
    
    
[22:46] ---
    must be the one Hotaru
    is looking for!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    Looks like I'll make it within
    the time I promised.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Just sit tight, Hotaru.
    
    
[22:55] ---
    I'll bring him to you right away!
    
    
[22:57] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Separation"
    
    
[23:01] ---
    I've been looking for you,
    Shiranami!
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
