**[01:19] ---**
*Sasori...*
**[01:49] ---**
All right, break's over.
**[01:52] ---**
Guy Sensei, are you sure?
**[01:54] ---**
Yeah. I'm totally fine.
I woke up completely refreshed.
**[01:59] ---**
Neji.
**[02:00] ---**
No problem. He has appalling
recuperative power.
**[02:05] ---**
Uh-huh... So that leaves...
**[02:06] ---**
I'm ready to go, too.
**[02:11] ---**
All right, now to make up
for the time we lost resting,
**[02:14] ---**
we're going to double the pace.
**[02:17] ---**
What?!
**[02:18] ---**
No, let's make it triple.
**[02:20] ---**
If we do that, we'll arrive
earlier than first planned.
**[02:23] ---**
I see.
**[02:24] ---**
All right guys,
**[02:25] ---**
let's make it quadruple
the pace while we're at it.
**[02:31] ---**
What's the matter?
**[02:33] ---**
That's impossible,
no matter how you consider things.
**[02:35] ---**
I told you guys to stop
getting so carried away!
**[02:38] ---**
Guy Sensei, that's why
I said triple the pace.
**[02:41] ---**
Lee, that's a little off, too.
**[02:53] ---**
Now then...
**[02:56] ---**
That should be enough rest...
**[03:02] ---**
Break time is over.
We should get going.
**[03:09] ---**
Wake up, you two.
We're leaving.
**[03:12] ---**
O-Okay.
**[03:15] ---**
A little longer...
Let me sleep a little longer.
**[03:19] ---**
You're going to save Gaara, aren't you?
**[03:24] ---**
Of course I am!
**[04:59] ---**
*The Death of Gaara!
*
**[05:08] ---**
*The enemy hideout
should be in this direction...*
**[05:14] ---**
I'm sorry... Gaara...
**[06:11] ---**
*We'll now be entering
the final stage.*
**[06:20] ---**
*What shall we do about the pesky flies?*
**[06:24] ---**
*They're moving
at a greater speed than anticipated.*
**[06:28] ---**
*No problem.*
**[06:30] ---**
*We stalled them effectively.
Just ignore them.*
**[06:33] ---**
*Besides, we've got some insurance.*
**[06:37] ---**
In the end, we'll be the ones
who have to take care of them.
**[06:41] ---**
Let's hurry and finish
things up here, Deidara.
**[06:45] ---**
We've got guests to greet.
**[06:48] ---**
You'll want to catch
a breath before that, don't you?
**[06:51] ---**
That's right.
**[06:53] ---**
We have welcoming preparations
to take care of.
**[06:59] ---**
*Man, they're sure a pain.*
**[07:03] ---**
*And we're having a hard time
finding our Jinchuriki...*
**[07:06] ---**
*Don't get so irritated.*
**[07:08] ---**
*We just need to take care
of our own missions.*
**[07:14] ---**
*That's enough idle chatter.*
**[07:15] ---**
*Concentrate! Mistakes will
not be tolerated from here on.*
**[08:00] ---**
Each team will be deployed
as I just announced.
**[08:03] ---**
The absence of Lord Kazekage
is a highly classified matter!
**[08:07] ---**
However, operate under
the assumption
**[08:09] ---**
that the information has
already been leaked.
**[08:12] ---**
It's conceivable that the nearby lands
**[08:14] ---**
will take advantage of this confusion
and execute an attack.
**[08:18] ---**
Don't think of this as
just an ordinary border patrol.
**[08:22] ---**
The teams that are ready
will depart at once.
**[08:30] ---**
What's the matter, Matsuri?
**[08:33] ---**
Is this really okay?
**[08:36] ---**
Is what okay?
**[08:38] ---**
Lord Gaara has been kidnapped.
**[08:41] ---**
And yet, here we are guarding
a border
**[08:44] ---**
for an enemy who may or may not come
instead of trying to save him.
**[08:48] ---**
It's an order from our superiors.
We can only obey.
**[08:52] ---**
No way!
**[08:53] ---**
Lord Gaara is the Hidden Sand's...
**[08:56] ---**
our Kazekage!
**[08:58] ---**
I know that!
Gaara's my little brother, you know!
**[09:03] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[09:07] ---**
This way.
**[09:08] ---**
Right!
**[09:24] ---**
I don't like it.
**[09:25] ---**
What is it, Neji?
**[09:27] ---**
Is it an enemy?
**[09:28] ---**
No, just the opposite.
**[09:30] ---**
I don't feel any enemy presence at all.
That's what's bothering me.
**[09:36] ---**
Here they went so far as to use...
**[09:38] ---**
that powerful of a Jutsu
in an attempt to stall us.
**[09:42] ---**
Then...
**[09:43] ---**
Could it be...?
**[09:50] ---**
They no longer need to stall us.
**[09:54] ---**
I'm saying there's
a good chance of that.
**[09:57] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[10:55] ---**
*H-He's...*
**[10:57] ---**
Hang on, Gaara.
**[11:06] ---**
Naruto, wait up!
**[11:10] ---**
Geez.
**[11:14] ---**
Why's that kid trying so hard to
save Gaara who's from a different village?
**[11:22] ---**
And what in the world is he?
**[11:26] ---**
He's also a Jinchuriki.
**[11:30] ---**
He has the Nine-Tail sealed within him.
**[11:37] ---**
Indeed, Naruto probably
doesn't have much attachment
**[11:40] ---**
to the Hidden Sand itself.
**[11:44] ---**
But Gaara is a Jinchuriki Host
just like he is.
**[11:49] ---**
More than anyone
in the Hidden Sand,
**[11:51] ---**
Naruto knows how Gaara feels.
**[11:54] ---**
After all, the Jinchuriki has been
treated the same way in every village.
**[12:15] ---**
That's exactly why he feels
like he has to save Gaara.
**[12:20] ---**
It doesn't make
any difference to him
**[12:22] ---**
if he's from the Leaf or the Sand.
**[12:26] ---**
For Naruto, Gaara is a friend
**[12:28] ---**
who knows the same pain as he does.
**[12:36] ---**
Naruto's dream is to
become the Hokage.
**[12:39] ---**
He was frustrated when he heard
that Gaara had become the Kazekage.
**[12:43] ---**
*I see. So Gaara became
the Kazekage, huh?*
**[12:48] ---**
But at the same time,
**[12:50] ---**
he was also very happy for
Gaara from the bottom of his heart.
**[12:55] ---**
*I won't be outdone by him!*
**[13:01] ---**
*I'll become the Hokage,
no matter what.*
**[13:03] ---**
*Just you wait, Gaara!*
**[13:07] ---**
Naruto has a mysterious power.
**[13:13] ---**
However small the words he exchanges,
he makes friends immediately...
**[13:17] ---**
with everyone he meets.
**[13:22] ---**
I myself have lived a long life.
**[13:27] ---**
I've seen many things.
**[13:32] ---**
And in my own way,
**[13:33] ---**
I've learned the nature
of things in this world.
**[13:36] ---**
Learning that the alliance with
other lands were for show only,
**[13:42] ---**
what I did was to create resources
to protect the Hidden Sand.
**[13:54] ---**
I'm the one who used the Jutsu...
**[13:56] ---**
and forced the possession
of the Shukaku on Gaara.
**[14:01] ---**
After consulting with his father
the Fourth Kazekage, that is.
**[14:06] ---**
What I did to protect the village
ended up just hurting it.
**[14:12] ---**
And now a village I avoided
because I couldn't believe in alliances
**[14:16] ---**
is trying to help us.
**[14:20] ---**
Everything I've done might
have been mistaken.
**[14:26] ---**
And now I've gotten old
and learn to give up easily.
**[14:33] ---**
Kakashi...
**[14:36] ---**
Young people have
so much potential within...
**[14:43] ---**
I'm so envious.
**[14:45] ---**
Oh no, you're just getting started...
**[14:48] ---**
You're still very much young.
**[14:56] ---**
That's right...
**[14:58] ---**
There might still be something
an old bag like me can do.
**[15:07] ---**
*Something I can do.*
**[15:24] ---**
*It's about finished.*
**[15:34] ---**
*Whose...hand is this?*
**[15:39] ---**
*Oh...it's my hand.*
**[15:46] ---**
*Have I...become an existence
someone needs?*
**[15:55] ---**
*Huh? What?*
**[16:01] ---**
*Is that me?*
**[16:07] ---**
*That's me... The me who wanted
to be needed by...someone...*
**[16:15] ---**
*Why...? Why did I want
to be like that?*
**[16:20] ---**
*Why...am I...
an existence that desires that?*
**[16:28] ---**
*Those eyes. That nose.
That mouth.*
**[16:37] ---**
*Why?*
**[16:39] ---**
*Why is that Gaara?*
**[16:44] ---**
*I was inside that...*
**[16:47] ---**
*No...*
**[16:49] ---**
*What am I in the first place?*
**[16:52] ---**
*I'm just aware that I'm me.*
**[16:55] ---**
*What am I...in the first place?*
**[17:01] ---**
*I'm just a small...feeling.*
**[17:22] ---**
*It's finished.*
**[17:42] ---**
Oh man.
**[17:44] ---**
In the end, it took three days
and three nights.
**[17:50] ---**
*It's exhausting every time, isn't it?*
**[17:55] ---**
*Ohhh, my shoulders are all stiff.*
**[18:01] ---**
*Good work, everyone.*
**[18:36] ---**
*I've got a bad feeling
about this.*
**[18:39] ---**
Damn it! Isn't there something I can do?
**[18:56] ---**
This is the place, huh?
**[18:59] ---**
Gaara is on the other side
of this boulder.
**[19:01] ---**
It looks like they put up a barrier.
**[19:04] ---**
What's the plan?
**[19:06] ---**
Let's bust through!
**[19:07] ---**
No!
**[19:15] ---**
You're late... Kakashi.
**[19:18] ---**
Well, you see...
**[19:19] ---**
We got caught up in
something troublesome along the way.
**[19:22] ---**
Naruto! Sakura!
**[19:24] ---**
Kakashi...
**[19:26] ---**
By troublesome, you certainly
don't mean me, do you?
**[19:30] ---**
Hey!
**[19:32] ---**
Naruto...
**[19:33] ---**
We were just a step behind
you guys, huh?
**[19:36] ---**
Who's the old woman there?
**[19:39] ---**
Oh, this is Lady Chiyo,
a consultant to the Sand.
**[19:44] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[19:45] ---**
Now, shall we do this, Kakashi?
**[19:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:54] ---**
*Hang on, Gaara.*
**[21:37] ---**
Allow me to explain!
**[21:38] ---**
The title of the next episode is,
"Button Hook Entry."
**[21:40] ---**
This refers to a method Ninja
used to break through entrances
**[21:42] ---**
by fanning out left and right
with the entrance in between.
**[21:45] ---**
By the way, it seems
a lot of people tend to confuse
**[21:47] ---**
my "Dynamic Entry" as
a name for a Jutsu,
**[21:50] ---**
but it's a credited way
to break into places.
**[21:52] ---**
It's an excellent tactic
where speed is of the essence,
**[21:54] ---**
and also serves as
an effective diversion!
**[21:55] ---**
How about that?!
**[21:56] ---**
Now you're more knowledgeable
about our mission!
**[22:02] ---**
Next episode:
"Charge Tactic! Button Hook Entry!!"
