**[00:22] ---**
Ow!
**[00:26] ---**
Owww...
**[00:27] ---**
Focus!
**[00:30] ---**
Though it's just a little,
your body is moving!
**[00:32] ---**
Don't forget, "stay still"!
**[00:36] ---**
Doing this without using the oil
is a lot harder than I thought.
**[00:40] ---**
Of course it is!
**[00:42] ---**
Don't expect it'll be so easy
when you don't use the oil!
**[00:50] ---**
Not even the slightest quiver!
**[00:53] ---**
Say, I was just thinking...
**[00:56] ---**
What is it?
**[00:57] ---**
Why can't I just take this oil
with me when I fight?
**[01:00] ---**
Then I won't need to learn
**[01:03] ---**
how to take in Nature Energy
without the oil.
**[01:06] ---**
That is impossible.
**[01:07] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[01:09] ---**
Outside of Mount Myoboku's climate,
this oil vaporizes immediately.
**[01:16] ---**
No kidding?!
**[01:18] ---**
I thought I told you.
**[01:20] ---**
The oil is only to help you
grasp the concept.
**[01:25] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[01:26] ---**
But the way you change
into a frog so quickly...
**[01:29] ---**
Naruto-boy, you lack concentration!
**[01:33] ---**
You're not taking it
seriously enough!
**[01:35] ---**
No, that's not true.
**[01:37] ---**
After all, I did get the knack of
this thing from the previous training.
**[01:40] ---**
Enough! Just follow me!
**[01:55] ---**
Hey... This isn't what
I'm thinking, is it?
**[01:59] ---**
It's exactly that.
This is your next training site.
**[02:04] ---**
Stack a stone slab atop that summit
and begin Zen meditation.
**[02:07] ---**
If your concentration wavers
and you move even slightly,
**[02:10] ---**
you will fall to the bottom
of the ravine.
**[02:13] ---**
F-From up there?
**[02:23] ---**
Hmm... This should do.
**[02:26] ---**
Follow me, Naruto-boy!
**[02:39] ---**
Stay still!
**[02:41] ---**
You must learn to stop
your motion as an animal.
**[02:44] ---**
Find your own center of balance,
**[02:47] ---**
and motionlessly synchronize
with nature!
**[03:01] ---**
S-Saved.
**[03:03] ---**
Taking in Nature Energy
will have to wait
**[03:05] ---**
until you first perfect staying still.
**[03:15] ---**
No way!
**[03:19] ---**
Oww...
**[03:24] ---**
Maybe it's time for a break.
**[03:30] ---**
Damn...
**[03:32] ---**
It's this hard just to stay still...
**[03:35] ---**
Isn't this training sorta ridiculous?
**[03:39] ---**
Such nonsense!
**[03:41] ---**
Your master, Jiraiya-boy,
managed this feat.
**[03:45] ---**
Huh? Don't tell me...
Pervy Sage trained here too?
**[03:51] ---**
Yes. He and I came here often.
**[04:04] ---**
*Thank you, Lord Fukasaku!*
**[04:06] ---**
*Say Jiraiya-boy,
*how about we call it a day?*
**[04:11] ---**
*Nah! I can still keep on going.*
**[04:17] ---**
*But...*
**[04:18] ---**
*I think I'm on the verge
*of grasping it...*
**[04:21] ---**
*So can you help me for
*a while longer?*
**[04:26] ---**
I must say, he had more guts
than anybody else around.
**[04:31] ---**
Say, how long did Pervy Sage
take on this training?
**[04:36] ---**
Well, Jiraiya-boy came here to
train between missions,
**[04:43] ---**
so it took him some time...
**[04:46] ---**
I see.
**[04:49] ---**
Naruto-boy?
**[04:51] ---**
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[04:53] ---**
I don't have the luxury of time.
**[04:54] ---**
So I have to pick up the pace!
**[04:57] ---**
Pervy Sage did the same training!
**[05:00] ---**
So I've gotta do my best too!
**[05:15] [SONG] ---**
What did I really lose that day?
**[05:15] [SONG] ---**
ano hi honto ni ushinatta monotte nan dattakke
**[05:21] [SONG] ---**
For the life of me, I can't remember.
**[05:21] [SONG] ---**
tou ni wasureteshimatta yo
**[05:27] [SONG] ---**
We slowly lost sight of each other in the twilight...
**[05:27] [SONG] ---**
yuugure de futari sukoshizutsu mienakunatteitte
**[05:32] [SONG] ---**
And yet we're stuck here - unable to go home.
**[05:32] [SONG] ---**
sore nanoni bokura kaerezu ni ita
**[05:37] [SONG] ---**
Weak, frail souls lost in the world...
**[05:37] [SONG] ---**
dokoka ni kowaresou na moroi kokoro
**[05:43] [SONG] ---**
We act strong to hide their fragility.
**[05:43] [SONG] ---**
tsuyogaru kotoba de ootte kakushiteru
**[05:48] [SONG] ---**
Hide their fragility...
**[05:48] [SONG] ---**
ootte kakushiteru
**[05:51] [SONG] ---**
So farewell, but even forced apart...
**[05:51] [SONG] ---**
sayonara aenakunattatte
**[05:56] [SONG] ---**
Our stories go on.
**[05:56] [SONG] ---**
bokura wa tsuzuki ga aru kara
**[06:03] [SONG] ---**
Even in a world without you, I run.
**[06:03] [SONG] ---**
kimi no inai sekai datte hashiru yo
**[06:09] [SONG] ---**
To someday get past the pain.
**[06:09] [SONG] ---**
itsuka no itami mo koete
**[06:19] [SONG] ---**
koete
**[06:19] [SONG] ---**
Someday...
**[06:32] ---**
*Surpassing the Master
*
**[06:53] ---**
It's no good...
**[06:55] ---**
Focus, Naruto-boy!
**[07:10] ---**
That's pretty colorful
and yummy looking.
**[07:13] ---**
Oh, would you like one, Naruto-boy?
**[07:16] ---**
It's my favorite, larva riceballs.
**[07:19] ---**
No thanks!
**[07:28] ---**
Oh no!
**[07:34] ---**
Oh...
**[08:15] ---**
*It's looking good.
*He's rapidly amassing Nature Energy.*
**[08:40] ---**
*He's finally got it!*
**[08:42] ---**
*I'm impressed at how far
*he's gotten without using the oil.*
**[08:59] ---**
*He's displaying the rings around
*the eyes. Proof of Sagehood.*
**[09:03] ---**
*And no frog aspects either!*
**[09:06] ---**
*This might mean Naruto-boy
*has become a Sage,*
**[09:09] ---**
*surpassing Jiraiya-boy!*
**[09:12] ---**
*And it seems he's able to build up*
**[09:14] ---**
*even more Sage Jutsu chakra
*than when he was using the oil.*
**[09:18] ---**
How does it feel?
**[09:20] ---**
Hmm... Now I kinda get what it means
to become one with nature.
**[09:42] ---**
Owwww...
**[09:44] ---**
Huh? It doesn't hurt that much...
**[09:50] ---**
And that is Sage Mode!
**[09:52] ---**
Your body has been activated
on many levels.
**[09:56] ---**
W-Wow! Sage Mode, huh?!
**[09:59] ---**
Now that you've mastered
Sage Mode,
**[10:02] ---**
we've come to the final step.
**[10:05] ---**
What?! Final step?
You mean there's more?!
**[10:10] ---**
It's a type of sparring
**[10:12] ---**
that Sages perform using
Sage Jutsu chakra.
**[10:14] ---**
Now I shall teach you
how to do Frog Kumite!
**[10:27] ---**
You are so useless!
**[10:29] ---**
Why'd you leave behind
my Executioner's Blade?!
**[10:32] ---**
Shut up, Suigetsu!
**[10:34] ---**
Just be thankful
we didn't leave you behind!
**[10:37] ---**
Look who's talking!
You were also passed out, Karin!
**[10:41] ---**
I got knocked out trying
to protect you guys!
**[10:44] ---**
It's the result of us trying
to protect each other.
**[10:47] ---**
We're like fish and water,
**[10:49] ---**
so close we can't do
without one another.
**[10:51] ---**
So quit quarreling.
**[11:01] ---**
Fine.
**[11:02] ---**
By the way, are we really
going to get
**[11:04] ---**
the Tailed Beast's power, Sasuke?
**[11:06] ---**
Hmph. Who knows?
**[11:09] ---**
But it seems there's no need
to rely on that anymore.
**[11:14] ---**
Why?
**[11:16] ---**
*I have obtained new powers...*
**[11:19] ---**
*Strong enough to destroy
*the Hidden Leaf.*
**[11:26] ---**
What's wrong, Sasuke?
**[11:34] ---**
It's nothing.
**[11:36] ---**
What is it, Karin?
**[11:38] ---**
I sense a chakra outside.
It seems we've been tailed.
**[11:50] ---**
Now, go!
**[12:01] ---**
Forgive me, Lord Raikage...
**[12:05] ---**
It appears my tail was unsuccessful.
**[12:24] ---**
Not only Yugito,
but now Bee too...
**[12:27] ---**
I cannot believe that Bee
has been taken down!
**[12:30] ---**
We have been receiving several
messenger lizards from Jay.
**[12:35] ---**
Once we've pinpointed
the enemy's whereabouts,
**[12:37] ---**
we'll send in four cells to
rescue Lord Killer Bee,
**[12:40] ---**
and wipe out the enemy.
**[12:42] ---**
I heard it was an Uchiha
from the Hidden Leaf
**[12:45] ---**
who kidnapped my little brother!
**[12:47] ---**
Why is there an Uchiha
in the Akatsuki?!
**[12:50] ---**
Sasuke Uchiha...
**[12:52] ---**
It appears he went rogue
from the Hidden Leaf
**[12:54] ---**
quite some time ago.
**[12:56] ---**
Why hasn't the Leaf's Hokage dealt
with this Rogue Ninja?!
**[13:00] ---**
They were so quick to react
over the Hyuga incident!
**[13:09] ---**
*Something's wrong...
*The messages have ceased.*
**[13:47] ---**
Naruto-boy, let's call it a day.
**[13:53] ---**
No, not yet!
**[13:55] ---**
I'm the one that can't go on.
**[13:57] ---**
However...you're starting to
get the hang of it.
**[14:03] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:47] ---**
What?!
**[14:48] ---**
What do you mean the messages
from Jay have ceased?!
**[14:52] ---**
It seems Jay has either
been killed or captured.
**[14:56] ---**
So we're unable to confirm
the enemy's location.
**[15:01] ---**
Use whatever information we have
to narrow down the location,
**[15:04] ---**
and search every inch
of the place!
**[15:06] ---**
I don't care if you have
to dispatch a battalion!
**[15:09] ---**
Y-Yes sir.
**[15:11] ---**
Summon Samui's platoon too!
**[15:13] ---**
I'm giving them
a document of intent to
**[15:15] ---**
deliver to the Hidden Leaf
**[15:17] ---**
stating that we will take care
of Sasuke Uchiha!
**[15:19] ---**
And have them give us
intel on him!
**[15:21] ---**
Yes, right away!
**[15:24] ---**
Furthermore, I'm going to convene
**[15:26] ---**
a Five Kage Summit Conference
with the Five Great Nations!
**[15:28] ---**
The Akatsuki will not be forgiven!
**[15:33] ---**
Omoi, Karui...
Lord Raikage has summoned us.
**[15:38] ---**
Summoned, eh?
**[15:41] ---**
What in the world could it be?
**[15:43] ---**
Maybe there's a crisis...
**[15:45] ---**
Or maybe... We're getting scolded?
**[15:49] ---**
Did he find out that my body fat
percentage has spiked?
**[15:53] ---**
Maybe eating potatoes with
mayonnaise wasn't a good idea?
**[15:57] ---**
Omoi, you always think too much!
**[16:00] ---**
Why would he scold you
for something like that?!
**[16:02] ---**
The most that would happen is
**[16:04] ---**
you could get sent to
buy some protein.
**[16:06] ---**
Being around you guys
is so tiring.
**[16:10] ---**
Makes my shoulders ache.
**[16:13] ---**
The stiff shoulders are probably
caused by those big breasts of yours,
**[16:16] ---**
although one can't say for sure.
**[16:19] ---**
What you thought was just
a stiff shoulder could actually...
**[16:22] ---**
Will you shut up!
Quit yakking and let's go!
**[16:26] ---**
You ought to think things
through more carefully.
**[16:29] ---**
A flat-chested person like you
may not get stiff shoulders, Karui, but...
**[16:31] ---**
Shut up!
**[16:33] ---**
Oww! Now that kick will cause...
**[16:36] ---**
You got more to say?!
**[16:37] ---**
You two...
If you're ninja, act cooler.
**[16:40] ---**
Let's go!
**[16:54] ---**
I pulled it off!
**[17:09] ---**
Even though it's far from perfect...
**[17:12] ---**
I need more practice while
in Sage Mode.
**[17:16] ---**
And, I have to make sure
no one sees me.
**[18:07] ---**
Jay...
**[18:09] ---**
We were too late.
**[18:22] ---**
TO HOKAGE
FROM RAIKAGE
**[18:25] ---**
Mission acknowledged.
**[18:27] ---**
I'm counting on you!
**[18:28] ---**
I knew it...
I had a bad feeling about this.
**[18:31] ---**
Damn!
**[18:33] ---**
Don't worry!
**[18:34] ---**
No way Lord Killer Bee would
screw up like that.
**[18:37] ---**
It's probably some bad joke.
**[18:42] ---**
How can you be optimistic?!
**[18:44] ---**
He could be suffering right
this moment!
**[18:47] ---**
In fact, he could already...
**[18:48] ---**
Shut up! I don't want to hear
your pessimistic thoughts!
**[18:54] ---**
He's our master!
**[18:55] ---**
We're talking about
Lord Killer Bee here!
**[18:57] ---**
There's no way he'd be defeated!
**[18:59] ---**
Aren't you worried about Lord Bee, Karui?
**[19:02] ---**
Don't get morbid ideas just
because you're worried!
**[19:05] ---**
Enough, you two!
**[19:08] ---**
We'll save Bee,
no matter what it takes!
**[19:12] ---**
We will save him!
**[19:15] ---**
- *Lord Raikage!
- *Lord Raikage!*
**[19:22] ---**
Ah! You've made great progress!
**[19:34] ---**
Nice, Naruto-boy.
That's some jumping power.
**[19:37] ---**
Your Frog Kumite is
also pretty good!
**[19:41] ---**
Heh... That's not all!
**[19:44] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[19:46] ---**
What?
**[19:51] ---**
It ain't over!
I'm just getting started!
**[19:54] ---**
Come at me!
**[21:36] ---**
The sudden appearance of six figures
shakes up the Leaf Village.
**[21:41] ---**
Cries of fear...
**[21:42] ---**
People fleeing in panic...
**[21:43] ---**
Pillars of smoke arise one
after another...
**[21:46] ---**
Unable to fight back,
the Leaf Ninjas are engulfed
**[21:49] ---**
by the spiral of suffering set
in motion by Pain.
**[21:52] ---**
Amidst the merciless invasion,
**[21:54] ---**
Tsunade is convinced the fateful day
has finally arrived.
**[22:00] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Assault on the Leaf Village!"
**[22:04] ---**
NEJI CHRONICLES?
**[22:06] ---**
Hey everyone! How're you all doing?!
**[22:08] ---**
Today I brought Neji,
**[22:10] ---**
who hasn't made
any appearances at all!
**[22:13] ---**
What do you mean
no appearances?!
**[22:15] ---**
I'm constantly away
on important missions!
**[22:18] ---**
Let's see...
**[22:19] ---**
The last time you made
an appearance was a month...
**[22:21] ---**
No, six months ago?
Wait, how long has it been?
**[22:23] ---**
I forgot! I don't do it for
the sake of standing out.
**[22:26] ---**
Oh yeah? Lee and Tenten
from your squad
**[22:28] ---**
sure stood out the last time, though.
**[22:30] ---**
What?!
**[22:32] ---**
Why those two...
**[22:34] ---**
Hmph. They have free time
on their hands,
**[22:36] ---**
unlike a jonin such as myself.
**[22:37] ---**
Right, it's tough being you.
**[22:41] ---**
Darn you!
**[22:42] ---**
Hey, come along with me
on my next mission!
**[22:46] ---**
We'll call it "Neji Chronicles"
**[22:48] ---**
NEJI CHRONICLES
and air it as a spectacular
one-hour special!
**[22:52] ---**
No, no way. It'll never happen.
**[22:54] ---**
So, everyone, please continue
to watch only my adventures! Okay?
**[22:59] ---**
That's just not right!
**[23:01] ---**
I object, object, object!
**[23:02] ---**
Objection, denied!
**[23:04] ---**
Tune in again!
