[00:02] ---
    Naruto! Where are you going?!
[00:05] ---
    If Pervy Sage had been
    the Fifth Hokage...
[00:09] ---
    he wouldn't have let Granny Tsunade
    take such risks...
[00:14] ---
    Never!
[00:21] ---
    Naruto!
[00:22] ---
    Sakura... It's all right.
    Let him be.
[00:27] ---
    But...
[00:29] ---
    I can see that child truly loved
    and admired Jiraiya-boy.
[00:34] ---
    I can't help but hope that
    he is the Child of Prophecy.
[02:21] ---
    Following the Master's Shadow
    
    
[02:33] ---
    *I'm sorry...that you always get
    the short end of the stick.
[02:39] ---
    What's with you?!
[02:41] ---
    *I'm saying, you were supposed
    to be Hokage.
[02:46] ---
    *The Third Hokage always wanted
    you to be the next to--
[02:49] ---
    *I was never cut out for
    that sort of thing.
[02:52] ---
    Being on my own suits me too well...
[02:54] ---
    *You regretted not being able
    to stop Orochimaru.
[02:57] ---
    So all that time,
[02:59] ---
    *you were tracking his movements
    alone, isn't that right?
[03:02] ---
    I no longer need to do so.
[03:06] ---
    *That means I get to release
    the sequel to my novel sooner.
[03:13] ---
    Tsunade-girl...
[03:14] ---
    Tsunade-girl!
[03:17] ---
    Are you all right, Master?
[03:21] ---
    Yes, I'm fine.
[03:24] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:26] ---
    You just received sad news.
[03:28] ---
    I don't blame you
    for feeling distraught.
[03:31] ---
    However, you have the important duty
    of protecting the village.
[03:36] ---
    This is where you must stay strong.
[03:39] ---
    Yes...
[03:40] ---
    Anyway, the clues left by Jiraiya-boy...
[03:45] ---
    There is something besides
    the hidden message on my back.
[03:50] ---
    A Hidden Rain Ninja captured by
    Jiraiya-boy is inside his belly.
[03:57] ---
    And, one more thing...
[04:04] ---
    Inside this fellow is one of Pain's bodies
    that Jiraiya managed to kill.
[04:11] ---
    Pain's?
[04:31] ---
    "MAKE-OUT TACTICS"
    LONG-AWAITED NEW NOVEL
    BEST WORK EVER
[04:43] ---
    Oh, there they are!
[04:45] ---
    So many well-developed gals!
[04:48] ---
    Hey! What're you doing, Pervy Sage!
[04:50] ---
    What a sight! What a sight!
[04:52] ---
    *I'm getting inspiration
    for my next novel!
[05:04] ---
    AUTOPSY ROOM
[05:10] ---
    This is Pain...
[05:12] ---
    The ripple pattern...
    Is it the legendary Rinnegan?
[05:16] ---
    That's correct. If we study it well,
[05:19] ---
    we may find clues on how
    to defeat him.
[05:22] ---
    A ninja's corpse is
    a treasure trove of information.
[05:27] ---
    We will gather skilled Medical Ninja,
    and begin an autopsy immediately.
[05:32] ---
    Shizune.
[05:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am. I will take care of it.
[05:41] ---
    Hmm... That is a good photo.
[05:44] ---
    I have given you all that
    was entrusted to me.
[05:47] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[05:49] ---
    I will return home now.
    Let me know what you learn.
[05:52] ---
    With Jiraiya-boy's student here,
[05:54] ---
    you will be able to
    contact Mount Myoboku.
[05:58] ---
    Thank you very much.
[06:00] ---
    I promise that we will find
    a way to defeat Pain!
[06:19] ---
    Now listen, Naruto.
[06:20] ---
    *I have only three years to
    make you strong.
[06:25] ---
    *I will spend that time
    training you vigorously.
[06:27] ---
    Be prepared for that.
[06:29] ---
    *You bet! This time, I'm going to
    bring him back for sure!
[06:34] ---
    There's no time for me to waste.
[06:41] ---
    Cripes... I can't stand this...
[06:43] ---
    *What is this?!
    What's with this lame training?!
[06:46] ---
    Fool! Nothing in training is lame!
[06:49] ---
    You foolish student!
[06:59] ---
    You're mine!
[07:04] ---
    *You're not the only one
    who uses Shadow Clones.
[07:08] ---
    You're still so naïve...
[07:17] ---
    Damn! I was so close!
[07:20] ---
    *Liar. It'll take a hundred years
    before you can beat me.
[07:24] ---
    I can't wait a hundred years!
[07:27] ---
    Just wait... Next time...
[07:43] ---
    This is super-cool!
[07:45] ---
    *Hmm... Fine feathers make
    a fine bird, eh?
[07:54] ---
    Yo! Naruto.
[08:01] ---
    I hear you've been real active
    on missions and such.
[08:05] ---
    Everyone in the village
    is talking about you.
[08:08] ---
    Hey, let's go somewhere and catch up!
[08:11] ---
    How about Ichiraku for some ramen?
[08:18] ---
    No thanks...
[08:43] ---
    What? Right now?
[08:46] ---
    Yes. Take that,
    and go immediately.
[08:50] ---
    The Cipher Corps folks
    don't work this late.
[08:55] ---
    Summon them and tell them
    it's on my orders.
[08:58] ---
    I'm putting you in charge of this case.
[09:02] ---
    I know it's a very important encryption,
[09:05] ---
    but can't you ask someone else
    who's not on a mission right now?
[09:08] ---
    Wait... Where are you going?
[09:10] ---
    I came here on a different matter.
[09:12] ---
    Shikamaru!
[09:15] ---
    But...
[09:16] ---
    Lady Tsunade has been busy
    since morning, and...
[09:25] ---
    Well, the same goes for me.
[09:27] ---
    Shikamaru, please...
[09:38] ---
    *I must say...
    You've grown even more beautiful.
[09:43] ---
    You haven't changed...
[09:49] ---
    *But... If you try anything to
    betray the village...
[09:55] ---
    At that moment, I will kill you.
[10:03] ---
    Then how about making a bet with me?
[10:06] ---
    *You bet that I will die.
    After all, you always lose.
[10:13] ---
    But if I make it back alive...
[10:18] ---
    Joking! I'm just joking!
[10:20] ---
    You know, I'm grateful to you.
[10:29] ---
    Heya... I'm Jiraiya!
[10:32] ---
    You can send me the love letters later!
[10:34] ---
    Nice to meet ya!
[10:42] ---
    You fool...
[11:33] ---
    24-HOUR CONVENIENCE STORE
[12:14] ---
    Naruto...
[12:21] ---
    I heard about Lord Jiraiya.
[12:28] ---
    I wanted him to keep watching
    over me.
[12:34] ---
    I wanted him to see me
    become the Hokage.
[12:39] ---
    But I only ended up showing Pervy Sage
    the worst, most un-cool side of me.
[12:45] ---
    I was...
[12:46] ---
    Lord Jiraiya only had praise for you.
[12:50] ---
    He was always boasting about you,
[12:52] ---
    saying you were like
    his own grandchild.
[12:56] ---
    He had faith that you were
    the one who would inherit his will.
[13:00] ---
    And truly believed that
[13:02] ---
    you would one day become
    a great Hokage.
[13:06] ---
    Lord Jiraiya will always
    watch over you.
[13:10] ---
    Even this very minute,
    he's watching from somewhere.
[13:14] ---
    He wouldn't be happy
    seeing you sad like this. So...
[13:20] ---
    Be your usual self,
    the one he praised so much.
[13:26] ---
    Don't stay depressed forever.
[13:28] ---
    For Lord Jiraiya himself,
    one of the Legendary Sannin...
[13:35] ---
    acknowledged you as
    his promising student!
[13:49] ---
    Thanks... Iruka Sensei.
[14:11] ---
    Thank you for your efforts.
    How's it going?
[14:13] ---
    Oh...
[14:14] ---
    I checked very carefully...
[14:17] ---
    But this isn't a Hidden Leaf code.
[14:20] ---
    It doesn't correspond to any
    of our algorithms.
[14:23] ---
    But considering the fact
    that Lord Jiraiya wrote this
[14:25] ---
    in his dying moments,
[14:27] ---
    I don't think it could be
    anything too complex.
[14:31] ---
    It's a string of numbers,
[14:32] ---
    so it has to be
    a shared-key encryption.
[14:35] ---
    Can you...decode it?
[14:37] ---
    Ahem.
[14:40] ---
    Err... Frankly, it's impossible
    unless we know the key.
[14:45] ---
    Key?
[14:47] ---
    Namely, if you don't know
    the rules that define the code,
[14:50] ---
    you can't break it.
[14:52] ---
    Unless we know something
    about Lord Jiraiya
[14:54] ---
    that could be the key,
    it's impossible.
[14:57] ---
    So how do we figure out what the key is?
[15:00] ---
    I wouldn't know...
[15:02] ---
    But perhaps someone who
    was close to Lord Jiraiya
[15:05] ---
    would recognize the key.
[15:08] ---
    Although, given the circumstances
    of his death,
[15:10] ---
    the encryption could have
    been hastily created
[15:13] ---
    to prevent the enemy from
    discerning his message.
[15:16] ---
    So we can't say for certain.
[15:18] ---
    Consider who he may have
    intended that message for,
[15:21] ---
    and ask that person.
    And perhaps you'll find some clues.
[15:26] ---
    Which means...
[15:28] ---
    Lady Hokage or Kakashi Sensei...
[15:35] ---
    Thank you very much.
[15:37] ---
    If I learn anything new,
    I'll come again.
[15:43] ---
    Sure, but I'll be home in bed,
    so just come by the house, ok?
[15:47] ---
    Well... I'm heading home to sleep.
[15:51] ---
    What about you, Shiho?
[15:54] ---
    Someone's gotta stay behind.
[15:59] ---
    9...31...8...106...7...207...15...
[16:06] ---
    Can you think of anything?
[16:08] ---
    Maybe in a conversation
    with Lord Jiraiya?
[16:11] ---
    Something about these numbers...?
[16:19] ---
    This number 106 is...
[16:28] ---
    Lord Jiraiya?
[16:30] ---
    It's 106.
[16:33] ---
    What is?
[16:40] ---
    106 centimeters.
[16:45] ---
    No... That's not it.
[16:49] ---
    I can't think of anything.
[16:51] ---
    Why don't you try
    Lady Hokage or Naruto next?
[16:54] ---
    I already asked Lady Hokage.
[16:59] ---
    Which leaves Naruto...
[17:01] ---
    The secret code is a concern.
[17:03] ---
    But I'm also worried about Naruto.
    Try to cheer him up.
[17:09] ---
    Don't get your hopes up too high.
[17:21] ---
    Shoot... He's out.
[17:33] ---
    Shikamaru... What do you want?
[17:38] ---
    For starters... Can I come in?
[17:45] ---
    Well? Can you think of anything?
[17:52] ---
    Hey Naruto, I said can you think
    of anything?
[17:59] ---
    Naruto!
[18:01] ---
    Oh sorry. What was it again?
[18:07] ---
    Come with me.
[18:11] ---
    Where?
[18:12] ---
    Just come.
[18:14] ---
    Wh-What is it?!
[18:17] ---
    LEAF HOSPITAL
[18:22] ---
    Why'd you bring me here?
[18:25] ---
    Just wait.
[18:27] ---
    Ah! Here she comes.
[18:35] ---
    Huh?! Kurenai Sensei...
[18:38] ---
    Yeah...
[18:39] ---
    Were you hospitalized for
    eating too much barbeque?!
[18:41] ---
    Your stomach's bigger than Choji's!
[18:43] ---
    She's pregnant, not fat!
[18:46] ---
    Cripes, you're still
    as obnoxious as ever.
[18:50] ---
    Huh?!
[18:51] ---
    You mean...she's...?
[18:53] ---
    Shikamaru, stop coming here so often.
[18:58] ---
    Sorry, no can do.
    Asuma asked me to do so.
[19:07] ---
    Shikamaru... What did Asuma
    ask you to do?
[19:12] ---
    That child will be my student.
[19:15] ---
    Huh?
[19:16] ---
    Asuma entrusted that child to me.
[19:27] ---
    I heard about Lord Jiraiya.
[19:31] ---
    I lost my teacher,
[19:33] ---
    so it's not like I don't understand
    what you're going through.
[19:39] ---
    But whining and sulking isn't going
    to make things better.
[19:44] ---
    We're way past that point in our lives.
[19:47] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:50] ---
    My teacher entrusted me
    with many things.
[19:54] ---
    Some important, some petty.
    All sorts of things.
[19:59] ---
    You too, right?
[20:01] ---
    In fact, you must have a ton of stuff.
[20:05] ---
    So don't you think it's about time
    for us to step up?
[20:09] ---
    Time for what?
[20:11] ---
    Time for us to become
    the ones who entrust.
[20:16] ---
    It's a pain,
    but we can't keep complaining.
[20:20] ---
    You will eventually be
    the one treating to ramen,
[20:23] ---
    and you'll be called Naruto Sensei,
    or something.
[20:27] ---
    We can't stay brats forever...
[20:32] ---
    If we wanna become super cool ninja
    like Asuma and Lord Jiraiya, that is.
[20:49] ---
    You're right.
[20:51] ---
    Thanks, Shikamaru.
[20:54] ---
    Pull yourself together.
[20:56] ---
    You got work to do.
[21:01] ---
    Right!
[22:37] ---
    Comrades move on to decode
    the message left behind.
    
    
[22:40] ---
    Entrusted to Naruto from Jiraiya,
    what is the key to the encryption?
    
    
[22:45] ---
    Shikamaru's brain and Shiho's experience
    leads them
    
    
[22:48] ---
    to a certain answer.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    Finally, the hidden mystery
    is revealed!
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Decryption"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    What is Jiraiya's message?
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
