[00:10] ---
    Iruka Sensei...
[00:12] ---
    Did you hear the news?
[00:14] ---
    Hear what?
[00:16] ---
    Last night, there was a battle
    in the back hills.
[00:19] ---
    A battle?
[00:20] ---
    Yes. Apparently, there were foreign spies.
[00:24] ---
    The Patrol Unit defeated one of them
    and brought in her body.
[00:29] ---
    In that case, the students shouldn't
    go near the back hills today.
[00:33] ---
    Yes. There may still be spies there.
[00:43] ---
    I hope nothing happens.
[00:50] ---
    The corpse... The corpse...
[00:52] ---
    Where is it?
[00:54] ---
    I know this area well,
    since I always play here, but...
[00:57] ---
    Maybe I should have asked
    the guys for a more exact location.
[01:00] ---
    Naruto!
[01:02] ---
    Sensei!
[01:04] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Get back to the Academy, now!
[01:07] ---
    I don't want to!
    I won't go to the Academy anymore!
[01:11] ---
    There are still dangerous people here!
[01:14] ---
    I won't go back even if you beg me to!
[01:16] ---
    Do as I say.
    I'm your homeroom teacher!
[01:20] ---
    Shut up! Why do you only act like
    a teacher at times like this?
[01:28] ---
    You don't understand my feelings.
[01:32] ---
    Even if I go back to the Academy,
    things won't be any different!
[01:36] ---
    I'm always alone.
[01:39] ---
    I'm always left out.
[01:42] ---
    Nobody cares about me!
[01:47] ---
    But this time, it'll be different!
[01:49] ---
    If I bring back some items,
    everyone will accept me as their friend!
[01:54] ---
    If I do that, I won't be alone anymore!
[01:57] ---
    I won't have to experience
    that feeling ever again!
[02:04] ---
    That's why I'm going to find
    and bring back an item!
[02:10] ---
    Please try to understand...
[02:11] ---
    No matter what your reasons may be,
    as your teacher,
[02:14] ---
    I cannot allow you to go
    to such a dangerous area.
[02:19] ---
    You really don't understand my feelings.
[02:24] ---
    Killer attack! Sexy Jutsu!
[02:35] ---
    W-Wait!
[02:36] ---
    Honestly, grown-ups are so easy to trick!
[02:45] ---
    This is the aftermath of a battle.
[02:48] ---
    That means it should be nearby.
[03:01] ---
    Can't find anything.
[03:05] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I haven't eaten anything today.
[03:09] ---
    I should get something to eat.
[03:15] ---
    I found lunch!
[03:20] ---
    What's this?
[03:24] ---
    Ooh! I've never seen one shaped
    like this before.
[03:31] ---
    The enemy ninja must have used
    this kunai during battle yesterday.
[03:36] ---
    I found an item to bring back!
[03:41] ---
    That kunai...
[03:43] ---
    The secret documents
    we've been looking for!
[03:45] ---
    I see... She placed it in that nest
    before she was defeated.
[03:49] ---
    All right!
[03:52] ---
    Don't let him get away!
[03:57] ---
    Where did he go?
[04:00] ---
    Well, he certainly is a handful.
[04:03] ---
    Just treat Naruto appropriately.
    Just do what works.
[04:08] ---
    Don't bother...with this kid.
[04:13] ---
    Naruto's right.
    I didn't try to understand him at all.
[04:21] ---
    After the death of my parents,
[04:23] ---
    there was no one left to
    praise or accept me.
[04:49] ---
    I did a lot of stupid things in class.
[04:53] ---
    I wanted to get people's attention.
[04:59] ---
    He's...
[05:02] ---
    the same as I was back then.
[05:18] [SONG] ---
    What did I really lose that day?
[05:18] [SONG] ---
    ano hi honto ni ushinatta monotte nan dattakke
[05:24] [SONG] ---
    For the life of me, I can't remember.
[05:24] [SONG] ---
    tou ni wasureteshimatta yo
[05:30] [SONG] ---
    We slowly lost sight of each other in the twilight...
[05:30] [SONG] ---
    yuugure de futari sukoshizutsu mienakunatteitte
[05:35] [SONG] ---
    And yet we're stuck here - unable to go home.
[05:35] [SONG] ---
    sore nanoni bokura kaerezu ni ita
[05:40] [SONG] ---
    Weak, frail souls lost in the world...
[05:40] [SONG] ---
    dokoka ni kowaresou na moroi kokoro
[05:46] [SONG] ---
    We act strong to hide their fragility.
[05:46] [SONG] ---
    tsuyogaru kotoba de ootte kakushiteru
[05:51] [SONG] ---
    Hide their fragility...
[05:51] [SONG] ---
    ootte kakushiteru
[05:54] [SONG] ---
    So farewell, but even forced apart...
[05:54] [SONG] ---
    sayonara aenakunattatte
[05:59] [SONG] ---
    Our stories go on.
[05:59] [SONG] ---
    bokura wa tsuzuki ga aru kara
[06:06] [SONG] ---
    Even in a world without you, I run.
[06:06] [SONG] ---

    To someday get past the pain.

    Someday...
[06:35] ---
    - Leaf's History -
    Iruka's Decision
    
    
[06:40] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru,
    could you lend me money?
[06:43] ---
    Not again... You're not spending all
    your allowance on snacks, are you?
[06:48] ---
    Huh? I never thought of using it
    on anything other than snacks.
[06:55] ---
    Jeez. Oh well. I'll lend you some.
[07:00] ---
    Say, you two...
[07:02] ---
    Isn't class in session?
[07:04] ---
    Who are you?
[07:05] ---
    I can't talk to strangers.
    My dad will get mad at me.
[07:09] ---
    I see, Shikamaru Nara
    and Choji Akimichi.
[07:14] ---
    How do you know our names?
[07:17] ---
    You're the sons of Shikaku
    and Chouza, right?
[07:20] ---
    You look very much like them.
[07:21] ---
    Perhaps I should tell them
    that you skipped class.
[07:25] ---
    Tell them? But we have
    a free period, right, Shikamaru?
[07:30] ---
    A free period?
[07:32] ---
    Naruto went to look for
    a corpse in the back hills,
[07:36] ---
    so Iruka Sensei went after him.
[07:39] ---
    Iruka Sensei went after Naruto?
[07:41] ---
    Is that true?
[07:42] ---
    Yeah. There's no mistake.
[07:46] ---
    Listen, having a free period doesn't
    mean you don't have school.
[07:49] ---
    Go back to the Academy right now.
[07:51] ---
    Okay...
[08:00] ---
    Now I'll be able to make friends!
[08:05] ---
    Hey, kid.
[08:07] ---
    What? Who are all of you?
[08:09] ---
    Hand over that kunai, nice and easy.
[08:13] ---
    N-No way! I can't hand this over!
[08:17] ---
    I see. It looks like we have
    to take it by force.
[08:20] ---
    Huh?! What? W-Wait a second.
[08:27] ---
    Naruto!
[08:32] ---
    Sexy Jutsu!
[08:37] ---
    What?!
[08:39] ---
    Unfortunately, that technique
    won't work on us!
[08:43] ---
    Huh?
[08:46] ---
    No way!
[08:49] ---
    They're all women?!
[08:51] ---
    That's not fair.
[08:52] ---
    In that case... Clone Jutsu!
[09:01] ---
    Even if he is a kid,
[09:03] ---
    this is the first time I've seen
    such a poorly made clone.
[09:07] ---
    Don't let him get away!
    Don't show him any mercy!
[09:16] ---
    If my ninjutsu won't work...
[09:18] ---
    Don't let him get away!
[09:23] ---
    What?!
[09:24] ---
    I know all the hunting traps
    in this forest!
[09:30] ---
    Hurry!
[09:31] ---
    Here they come!
[09:39] ---
    Curses! How could we fall
    for such a simple trap!
[09:43] ---
    That brat!
[09:46] ---
    Umm... Where was the other one?
[09:49] ---
    Naruto!
[09:51] ---
    Sensei?
[09:52] ---
    I'm over here!
[10:06] ---
    Hey! Are you all right?
[10:09] ---
    Pull yourself together!
    Are you hurt?!
[10:16] ---
    You've regained consciousness.
[10:19] ---
    Sensei...
[10:20] ---
    Come on, we're going back
    to the Academy!
[10:25] ---
    Those guys!
[10:26] ---
    What are you outsiders doing
    sneaking around the Leaf Village!
[10:31] ---
    Who are you?
[10:33] ---
    Leave that kid with us,
    and don't put up a fight!
[10:35] ---
    I'm in charge of this child.
    I can't do that.
[10:39] ---
    What, you're a teacher?
[10:42] ---
    It must be tough having
    such a bad student.
[10:44] ---
    Because of that,
    you're going to die.
[10:47] ---
    It's the bad ones that
    you get attached to.
[10:50] ---
    Besides, you won't be able
    to defeat me so easily.
[10:53] ---
    Naruto! Hang in there!
[11:11] ---
    Quickly! Surround them!
[11:17] ---
    Die!
[11:19] ---
    I will protect Naruto,
    no matter what it takes!
[11:27] ---
    Don't let him get away!
    Scatter!
[11:30] ---
    Multi Phantom Shuriken Jutsu!
[11:39] ---
    I can't dodge all of them!
[11:47] ---
    - What?!
    - What?!
[11:50] ---
    Are both of you all right?
[11:52] ---
    Kakashi! Why are you here?
[11:55] ---
    Your students told me
    what happened.
[11:57] ---
    I was a little concerned.
[11:59] ---
    Damn it... He's got back-up!
[12:01] ---
    It doesn't matter.
    We just need to get rid of them all!
[12:04] ---
    Fire Style: Synergy Jutsu!
[12:07] ---
    Go, Iruka!
[12:08] ---
    - Karura!
    - Karura!
[12:16] ---
    Kakashi!
[12:17] ---
    One down.
[12:20] ---
    What?!
[12:22] ---
    Lightning Blade!
[12:31] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:32] ---
    I don't know what would have
    happened if you hadn't shown up.
[12:35] ---
    You would have protected Naruto
    even if I hadn't come.
[12:41] ---
    I think I understand what
    you were talking about.
[12:46] ---
    I didn't try to be upfront with him.
[12:52] ---
    I was probably trying to
    turn my back on him.
[12:56] ---
    But I think I can finally
    face him now.
[12:59] ---
    I see. That's good.
[13:03] ---
    Yes!
[13:11] ---
    This is the Leaf Village's
    patrol network.
[13:15] ---
    So this is what they were
    looking into?
[13:18] ---
    Yes.
[13:19] ---
    Good work.
[13:21] ---
    I'll tell the Patrol Unit to reexamine
    their village patrol activities right away.
[13:25] ---
    Please do.
[13:27] ---
    Even if it was a coincidence,
[13:29] ---
    it looks like Naruto's recklessness
    saved the village.
[13:33] ---
    You may leave.
[13:34] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:40] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:41] ---
    Lord Hokage... Umm...
[13:44] ---
    Thank you for placing me
    in charge of Naruto.
[13:50] ---
    Because of that, I remembered
    why I wanted to become a teacher.
[13:57] ---
    Lord Hokage...
[13:58] ---
    It was because of something
    you said to me long ago.
[14:09] ---
    It's already been a year, huh?
[14:11] ---
    Smiling while hiding
    your sadness isn't easy, is it?
[14:20] ---
    I heard from your teacher that
    you're the center of laughter.
[14:30] ---
    I'm not sad!
[14:34] ---
    It's an honor for a ninja
    to die on a mission!
[14:39] ---
    Mom and Dad sacrificed their lives
    to protect the village
[14:42] ---
    from that demon fox.*
[14:44] ---
    They're heroes!
[14:45] ---
    I'm the son of heroes!
    I'm not sad that I'm alone!
[14:51] ---
    These are tears of happiness.
[14:52] ---
    That's enough.
[14:56] ---
    I know that you crawl into
    a ball when you're by yourself.
[15:02] ---
    But you are not alone.
[15:06] ---
    The ninja of the Hidden Leaf
    carry the Will of Fire in them.
[15:13] ---
    Will of Fire?
[15:15] ---
    It's the strong will to protect this village.
[15:19] ---
    As long as you have
    the Will of Fire in you,
[15:22] ---
    everyone in the village
    is your family.
[15:27] ---
    Iruka... Do you have that?
[15:36] ---
    Yes!
[15:42] ---
    I wish to pass on your Will of Fire
    to the children of the future, to Naruto.
[15:53] ---
    Sensei!
[15:54] ---
    How could you lose the item
    that I found?!
[15:57] ---
    You idiot!
[16:01] ---
    Huh?
[16:02] ---
    You almost lost your life today!
[16:07] ---
    That's true, but...
[16:10] ---
    Hm? You're awfully quiet today.
[16:12] ---
    That's because this is
    the first time you've yelled at me.
[16:16] ---
    I'm surprised.
[16:18] ---
    Oh... I see.
[16:20] ---
    That's right. I decided that
    I would be upfront with you.
[16:26] ---
    Starting tomorrow,
    I'm going to be strict with you!
[16:30] ---
    What?! That makes me want
    to go to the Academy even less!
[16:35] ---
    Naruto... Do you have
    the Will of Fire in you?
[16:39] ---
    Will of Fire? What's that?
[16:42] ---
    It's the strong will
    to protect this village.
[16:47] ---
    If you have it, you can become
    as strong as Lord Hokage.
[16:50] ---
    The Hokage?
    Is the Hokage that strong?
[16:54] ---
    Yeah. He's not just strong, either.
[16:57] ---
    Everyone in the village
    respects Lord Hokage.
[17:00] ---
    He is our leader.
[17:03] ---
    The Fourth Hokage was a hero who
    protected the village from the demon fox.
[17:08] ---
    A hero?
[17:10] ---
    All right, I've made up my mind!
[17:11] ---
    I'm going to become a Hokage
    who's stronger than the Fourth Hokage!
[17:15] ---
    I'm going to make everyone
    acknowledge my strength!
[17:26] ---
    You might become the Hokage
    by the time you become this tall.
[17:31] ---
    Yeah! I'm going to work really hard
    to become the Hokage!
[17:40] ---
    Naruto...
[17:49] ---
    You really might
    become the Hokage.
[17:55] ---
    Iruka Sensei, please help us out with this.
[17:58] ---
    Okay. I'm coming right away!
[18:15] ---
    Where's Suigetsu?
[18:18] ---
    Suigetsu? Who knows?
[18:19] ---
    He went out two or three days ago
    and hasn't come back.
[18:23] ---
    I don't mind if he never comes back.
[18:26] ---
    I can hear you!
[18:30] ---
    The Executioner's Blade...
    You still have that?
[18:35] ---
    You left it behind! It was a pain
    to go back and retrieve it.
[18:39] ---
    Why should I carry your things
    while fighting the Eight-Tails?!
[18:43] ---
    I carried the two of you out of there
    when you were dying.
[18:47] ---
    So quit fighting.
[18:48] ---
    That's so patronizing!
[18:51] ---
    Fine. Whatever the case, I got it back.
[18:55] ---
    I don't feel right without this.
[19:00] ---
    We're all here.
    I want all of you to prepare to leave.
[19:04] ---
    Huh? Are your wounds all right?
[19:07] ---
    Yeah.
[19:09] ---
    We're going to the Leaf Village.
[19:18] ---
    And that's the whole story.
[19:21] ---
    I never expected Pain to be defeated.
[19:23] ---
    This is unexpected.
[19:26] ---
    Konan isn't coming back here anymore.
[19:29] ---
    What should we do?
    We have so many vacant positions.
[19:33] ---
    We need another pawn who can
    synchronize with the Gedo Statue.
[19:39] ---
    Kisame...
[19:40] ---
    You go look for the Eight-Tails.
[19:43] ---
    What about you?
[19:44] ---
    I have slightly different
    business to attend to.
[19:59] ---
    This is... I wasn't expecting this.
[20:04] ---
    You're late.
[20:06] ---
    Did Naruto do it?
[20:08] ---
    No, it was Pain's doing.
[20:11] ---
    Pain?!
[20:12] ---
    But Naruto handled it.
    He defeated Pain.
[20:17] ---
    Naruto did that?!
    What about the Nine-Tails?
[20:20] ---
    He was able to control it on his own.
[20:24] ---
    I see...
[20:26] ---
    What? Naruto controlled
    the Nine-Tails on his own?!
[20:30] ---
    There's no time to be surprised.
[20:32] ---
    Rebuilding the village
    is going to be hard work.
[20:36] ---
    Yamato, we're going to need your help.
[20:39] ---
    Okay!
[20:42] ---
    What is it?
[20:43] ---
    An emergency council has been called.
[20:46] ---
    As Jonin Squad Leader,
[20:47] ---
    your presence is also required
    at the Feudal Lord's palace, Lord Shikaku.
[20:52] ---
    Already? All right.
[21:06] [SONG] ---
    When the fireworks suddenly
    explode in the air...
[21:06] [SONG] ---
    fui ni agatta hanabi wo futari de miageta toki
[21:16] [SONG] ---
    I couldn't keep my eyes off from your face...
[21:16] [SONG] ---
    muchuu de miteru kimi no kao wo
[21:22] [SONG] ---
    sotto nusumimita no
[21:22] [SONG] ---
    I gazed at you quietly...
[21:32] [SONG] ---
    It'd be so much easier if I was able to hate you...
[21:32] [SONG] ---
    kimi no koto kirai ni naretara ii noni
[21:47] [SONG] ---
    Because I always remember you, in situations like this...
[21:47] [SONG] ---
    kyou mitai na hi ni wa kitto
[21:53] [SONG] ---
    I can't help but think about the
    times we spent together.
[21:53] [SONG] ---
    mata omoidashiteshimau yo
[22:00] [SONG] ---
    I'm ready to forget you...
[22:00] [SONG] ---
    mou wasureyou kimi no koto zenbu
[22:09] [SONG] ---
    It just tears at my heart too much.
[22:09] [SONG] ---
    konna ni mo kanashikute
[22:13] [SONG] ---
    I wonder... why did we meet each other?
[22:13] [SONG] ---
    doushite deatteshimattan darou
[22:21] [SONG] ---
    When I close my eyes...
[22:21] [SONG] ---
    me wo tojireba
[22:24] [SONG] ---
    It's like you are here.
[22:24] [SONG] ---
    ima mo kimi ga soko ni iru you de
[22:37] ---
    So this is Naruto's room...
    
    
[22:38] ---
    He's a fool, but it would be best
