[00:01] ---
    A Sand...
[00:03] ---
    What does this mean?
[00:04] ---
    I don't know either...
[00:06] ---
    But...he went missing right around
    the time Gaara was taken.
[00:13] ---
    Could it be that...
    he was a spy for the Akatsuki?
[00:16] ---
    I don't believe it.
[00:18] ---
    He served on the council
    for four years...
[00:27] ---
    Was he disguised with
    the Transformation Jutsu?
[00:30] ---
    No.
[00:32] ---
    This is a Jutsu of
    a much greater level...
[00:38] ---
    The Fire Ball Jutsu was created
    by the Uchiha Clan
[00:42] ---
    and they use it a lot by preference...
[00:45] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
[00:52] ---
    And that Jutsu was the real thing.
[01:03] ---
    It looks like you're done as well.
[01:06] ---
    Yes... I'm out of Chakra...
[01:09] ---
    Well, the Chakra we sacrificed
    was only about thirty percent...
[01:14] ---
    Although it's a Jutsu handy
    for creating exact duplicates of us,
[01:18] ---
    the quantity of Chakra
    we gave them wasn't that much.
[01:24] ---
    And the Jutsu they can use
    are proportionate to that quantity.
[01:30] ---
    But it was more than enough
    to buy us time.
[02:09] ---
    The Jutsu wore off, huh...?
[02:11] ---
    However, we were able
    to buy quite a bit of time...
[02:15] ---
    This should be enough...
[02:18] ---
    Well done, Itachi, Kisame.
[02:21] ---
    That's easy to say.
[02:24] ---
    The two who became sacrifices
[02:26] ---
    and gave up their bodies
    for your Jutsu...
[02:29] ---
    were both my subordinates.
[02:33] ---
    You should be
    the one thanking me...
[02:37] ---
    With my Impersonation Jutsu,
[02:39] ---
    they were both able to become
    members of the Akatsuki,
[02:43] ---
    although only for a short time.
[02:50] ---
    It's almost time...
[04:25] ---
    The Secret of Jinchuriki
    
    
    
[04:28] ---
    Damn it! This means the real one
    is in the hideout, huh...?
[04:33] ---
    I guess we can say his goal was
    to stall us and to gather information.
[04:38] ---
    Now that we know that,
    there's no point in hanging around here.
[04:41] ---
    All right! Let's hurry!
[04:44] ---
    This way!
[04:50] ---
    Just as I thought...
[04:52] ---
    They were clearly stalling for time...
[04:56] ---
    They've sure got a good Jutsu...
[05:06] ---
    I never realized...you were...
    fighting against people like this, Naruto.
[05:12] ---
    Using a Jutsu like this
    to stall us means...
[05:17] ---
    they're undoubtedly already
    extracting the Tailed Beast!
[05:25] ---
    We don't have time.
    We must save Gaara right away.
[05:29] ---
    - E-Excuse me...
    - Hm?
[05:32] ---
    What do you mean...
    extract the Tailed Beast...?
[05:35] ---
    It's likely that their intention is
[05:38] ---
    to create a new Jinchuriki
    using the One-Tail, Shukaku.
[05:42] ---
    Jinchuriki...?
[05:48] ---
    I explained before
    how the Tailed Beasts possess
[05:50] ---
    a power beyond
    human comprehension, didn't I?
[05:54] ---
    And how each land attempted
    to use them as military weapons.
[05:59] ---
    The Jinchuriki...
    is what you might call...
[06:01] ---
    the one who controls that power.
[06:06] ---
    But earlier you said...
[06:08] ---
    The Tailed Beasts have
    immense Chakra,
[06:10] ---
    and in the world of Ninja were
    used for military purposes
[06:13] ---
    by Hidden Villages around the world.
[06:16] ---
    They competed to
    get their hands on them.
[06:20] ---
    But none was able to control that power
    which had surpassed human intelligence.
[06:28] ---
    In the end, that is...
[06:31] ---
    But in the past, there were those
    who attempted to control that power.
[06:37] ---
    They attempted to control
    the Tailed Beast...
[06:39] ---
    by sealing it inside people.
[06:44] ---
    By doing so,
[06:45] ---
    they tried to suppress
    the extreme power of the Tailed Beast
[06:49] ---
    and then control that power.
[06:57] ---
    And the ones with the Tailed Beast
    sealed within them...
[07:01] ---
    in other words, people like Gaara
    were called the Jinchuriki.
[07:11] ---
    The striking feature of the Jinchuriki is
[07:13] ---
    how it utilizes unbelievable power
    by resonating with the "Tailed Beast."
[07:18] ---
    Including Gaara, there have been
    three Jinchuriki in the history of the Sand.
[07:37] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[07:50] ---
    So wars were fought often
    using the Jinchuriki?
[07:54] ---
    That's right.
[07:56] ---
    Then, the people who've
    been turned into a Jinchuriki...
[08:06] ---
    How can the Tailed Beast be extracted?
[08:12] ---
    What's required is
    a Sealing Jutsu with the ability...
[08:15] ---
    to instantaneously balance
    the power of the Tailed Beast,
[08:19] ---
    in addition to plenty of time.
[08:22] ---
    But if that's done, the Jinchuriki...
[08:29] ---
    Don't tell me...
[08:33] ---
    That's right...
[08:35] ---
    The Jinchuriki that has
    his Tailed Beast extracted...
[08:40] ---
    dies.
[08:54] ---
    The two people I mentioned earlier...
[08:56] ---
    The Sand Jinchuriki other than Gaara
[08:59] ---
    both had the Shukaku
    within them extracted...
[09:03] ---
    and died as a result.
[09:14] ---
    You're sentimental as always, huh?
    Sakura...
[09:19] ---
    Don't worry.
[09:21] ---
    I'll be saving Gaara!
[09:26] ---
    I-I was concerned...about your...!
[09:29] ---
    Let's hurry.
[09:42] ---
    Naruto...
[10:01] ---
    It's from Big Sister, huh...?
[10:18] ---
    You shouldn't be moving yet.
[10:20] ---
    It's not good for you in
    your condition.
[10:21] ---
    I'm okay.
[10:22] ---
    I can at least walk...
[10:25] ---
    More importantly, it seems we've
    been contacted by Granny Chiyo.
[10:29] ---
    I can't just lie around!
[10:31] ---
    I see... So you've heard, huh?
[10:35] ---
    As it happens, we've learned
    something terrible from her message.
[10:42] ---
    Yura was a spy?!
[10:45] ---
    I can't believe it...
[10:46] ---
    A man who served on the council
    for four years wouldn't...
[10:50] ---
    But...now it makes sense.
[10:53] ---
    How the enemy broke through
    the village defenses that easily.
[10:57] ---
    And I'm sure nobody imagined
[10:59] ---
    a man in charge of security
    would be an enemy spy.
[11:05] ---
    Here I thought we had thoroughly
    checked everyone out
[11:08] ---
    when Gaara became the Kazekage!
[11:11] ---
    The person in question might've
    just been controlled by some kind of Jutsu.
[11:17] ---
    More importantly,
[11:18] ---
    it doesn't say anything about
    the most crucial thing!
[11:22] ---
    When's the Kazekage coming back?!
[11:25] ---
    Having the Kazekage of one
    of the Five Great Shinobi Lands no less
[11:28] ---
    kidnapped by some bandits sets
    a bad example for the other lands!
[11:34] ---
    And it seems one of them
    is Sasori of the Red Sand!
[11:39] ---
    It'll be a tremendous disgrace
    if this gets out to the other lands!
[11:43] ---
    If it becomes known that
    the Kazekage is missing,
[11:46] ---
    who knows when
    the neighboring lands will intervene.
[11:50] ---
    Our most pressing need is
    to immediately elect a new Kazekage...
[11:54] ---
    and make an effort to stabilize the village.
[11:57] ---
    Gaara could still very well come back!
[12:03] ---
    Well, the fact is...
[12:04] ---
    it might just be better for the village
    if he doesn't come back.
[12:09] ---
    What're you getting at?
[12:11] ---
    Gaara is an unstable monster
    with the One-Tail inside him.
[12:16] ---
    We thought he would be easier
    to control if we made him the Kazekage...
[12:20] ---
    But in the end, there's no telling
    when he might go out of control.
[12:24] ---
    There's no mistaking he's trouble.
[12:27] ---
    Gaara originally resonated with
    the One-Tail, Shukaku.
[12:32] ---
    But he's an unstable experiment
    we can hardly call complete...
[12:36] ---
    And he's a failed creation who
    was even once ordered for assassination
[12:40] ---
    by his own father, the Fourth Kazekage.
[12:43] ---
    Right now, some of the younger people
    just blindly admire him.
[12:49] ---
    But the fact is most of the people
    in this village are just scared of him...
[12:53] ---
    and have no expectations of him!
[12:59] ---
    Just try talking trash like that again!
[13:01] ---
    I don't care if you are on the council.
    I won't allow it!
[13:04] ---
    Stop, Kankuro!
[13:06] ---
    You're before the statues
    of the Kazekage!
[13:09] ---
    This is a holy place!
[13:12] ---
    Kankuro, your anger is understandable.
[13:17] ---
    But there's an element of truth
    to what he says.
[13:20] ---
    But the fact is...
[13:22] ---
    this isn't an issue of whether
    or not Gaara should be trusted.
[13:31] ---
    Something like this happened
    before a long time ago...
[13:34] ---
    The Third Kazekage was kidnapped.
[13:37] ---
    There were all kinds of conjecture
[13:40] ---
    in regards to the whereabouts
    of the Third Kazekage,
[13:42] ---
    war broke out and the lands
    were in chaos...
[13:46] ---
    If only we paid our attention
    towards securing the village,
[13:49] ---
    rather than eagerly searching
    for the Third Kazekage,
[13:51] ---
    that wouldn't have happened.
[13:53] ---
    Then why didn't you do that...?
[14:01] ---
    The Third Kazekage was
    an exceptionally powerful Kazekage
[14:04] ---
    in our history.
[14:07] ---
    And most importantly,
    a body was never found.
[14:14] ---
    No one thought someone as powerful as
    he could have been killed that easily.
[14:26] ---
    Something like that must
    never happen again!
[14:29] ---
    That's why...we must consider
    the best interests of the village!
[14:35] ---
    So that's why the borders
    are being secured...
[14:38] ---
    The village plunged into chaos
[14:39] ---
    when the enemy broke through
    our border by seizing the opportunity
[14:42] ---
    while we were engaged in
    the search for the Third Kazekage.
[14:47] ---
    Our most pressing need is
    to secure the borders.
[14:49] ---
    But there was no reason to go out
    of your way to send Temari...!
[14:51] ---
    Kankuro...
[14:53] ---
    What're you saying?!
[14:55] ---
    Originally we were going to have
    you take on that mission as well!
[14:59] ---
    But then you get yourself poisoned...!
[15:04] ---
    If we assign Gaara's siblings
    to border patrol missions,
[15:08] ---
    the young people won't start talking
    about nonsense like rescuing Gaara.
[15:15] ---
    Temari was dispatched to a place
[15:17] ---
    that's been infiltrated by
    the enemy many times in the past.
[15:21] ---
    We needed someone of Jonin rank
    or higher to go.
[15:30] ---
    I know... But...
[15:34] ---
    But...
[15:36] ---
    Gaara's...
[15:38] ---
    Gaara's...
[15:41] ---
    my little brother.
[16:11] ---
    Zetsu.
[16:13] ---
    Dispose of the two we used for
    the Impersonation Jutsu.
[16:17] ---
    Understood.
[16:18] ---
    Itachi, tell me about the enemy's
    number and their features.
[16:23] ---
    They're a four-man squad with
    Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno,
[16:27] ---
    and the Nine-Tail Jinchuriki
    Naruto Uzumaki from the Leaf,
[16:30] ---
    and Chiyo, the Sand's advisor.
[16:34] ---
    Did he say Granny Chiyo...?
[16:49] ---
    It seems he's still not quite accustomed
    to using the Giant Rasengan...
[17:09] ---
    It looks like opening the Gate of Joy
    has left him quite exhausted...
[17:14] ---
    Are you okay, Guy Sensei?
[17:16] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:19] ---
    I'm always full of energy.
[17:28] ---
    Guy Sensei!
[17:32] ---
    He's not okay at all!
[17:35] ---
    It can't be helped.
    He just used the Asakujaku.
[17:39] ---
    We should rest somewhere...
[17:50] ---
    That's the place!
[17:59] ---
    Is there really a point to us
    guarding this place?
[18:03] ---
    Orders are orders.
[18:06] ---
    We'll guard in 24-hour shifts as of now.
[18:09] ---
    - Yes, ma'am!
    - Yes, ma'am!
[18:12] ---
    Stop!
[18:15] ---
    What is it, Kakashi Sensei?
[18:18] ---
    We're going to take a short break here.
[18:20] ---
    That's a wise decision.
[18:24] ---
    Why?!
[18:25] ---
    You're the one who said
    we don't have time!
[18:29] ---
    If we waste time taking a break here,
    Gaara will be...!
[18:31] ---
    Compared to right before
    we encountered the fake Itachi,
[18:34] ---
    our pace has clearly slowed.
[18:38] ---
    He's absolutely right.
[18:40] ---
    If we rest up here,
    ultimately we'll reach our destination faster.
[18:48] ---
    And tomorrow, we might
    end up fighting the guys...
[18:51] ---
    who took Gaara.
[18:54] ---
    It's best if we're at full strength.
[18:58] ---
    Fine.
[19:43] ---
    So this is Kisame's, huh...?
[19:46] ---
    He looks to be worth disposing of...
[19:49] ---
    Then let's get to it.
[19:51] ---
    Right...
[21:38] ---
    Now the break is over and
    both teams have started off again.
[21:40] ---
    Team Kakashi has departed from
    point A and Team Guy from point B.
[21:44] ---
    They are both charging straight
    for the one finish line.
[21:45] ---
    They say that Guy and Kakashi
    are called the Eternal Rivals.
[21:49] ---
    I just can't take my eyes off them.
[21:50] ---
    Guy commented before the race
    that he would definitely win.
[21:52] ---
    That was quite memorable.
[21:53] ---
    The two of them are neck and neck
    as they head for the finish line.
[21:56] ---
    We wait with breathless anticipation
    to find out
[21:59] ---
    who will control this punishing race
    and grab the glory of victory.
