[00:07] ---
    Back when I was a bit younger
    and a bit more feisty,
[00:12] ---
    my greatest rival was
    a kid named Naruto.
[00:16] ---
    - Naruto? Naruto?
    - Naruto? Naruto?
[00:18] ---
    A terrible brat who threatened
    my freedom.
[00:23] ---
    Time was passing him by
    while he stood helpless.
[00:26] ---
    It must have been
    one of his lowest times.
[00:31] ---
    Sasuke had left the village
[00:33] ---
    and he was questioning
    his own strength.
[00:35] ---
    That's right! Tsunade was
    named the Lady Hokage,
[00:39] ---
    and it was before
    he had set out with Jiraiya.
[00:46] ---
    Now keep quiet!
[00:48] ---
    Hear the story about
    Naruto and me!
[00:53] ---
    What?! Look for a pet?
[00:56] ---
    That's a mission for a rookie!
    No thanks!
[01:01] ---
    There's a reason
    why you must go.
[01:09] ---
    Hey, this is...
[01:15] ---
    He ran away again?
[01:18] ---
    Furthermore, that ostrich
    has trained himself
[01:20] ---
    to become a ninja ostrich.
[01:24] ---
    Wait, what? A ninja ostrich?
[01:26] ---
    You're dead wrong if you think
[01:28] ---
    this mission is simply
    about finding a pet!
[01:33] ---
    Excuse me, Lady Hokage.
[01:36] ---
    What sort of odd job
    do you have for me next?
[01:39] ---
    I'm appointing you as team captain.
[01:41] ---
    Team captain?
    Did you say team captain?!
[01:44] ---
    Me?!
[01:45] ---
    Kotetsu Hagane.
[01:47] ---
    You will lead a specially formed team
    to capture an ostrich.
[01:50] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[01:51] ---
    Huh? An ostrich?
[01:54] ---
    The ostrich escaped into
    the Hidden Leaf training grounds.
[01:58] ---
    Training grounds? You mean
    where the Chunin Exam was conducted?
[02:01] ---
    Where we saw those giant centipedes?
[02:04] ---
    We used Training Ground 44
    for the Chunin Exam.
[02:07] ---
    You're going to
    Training Ground Zero.
[02:10] ---
    There's a Ground Zero?
[02:13] ---
    Yes. However, it's not used
    for drills anymore.
[02:20] ---
    In fact, it's become a preserve
[02:22] ---
    for fierce and unusual beasts
    of prey from throughout the world
[02:25] ---
    and entry is prohibited.
[02:29] ---
    That was when I was a kid.
[02:32] ---
    So it's a complete mystery
    how the ecology has changed.
[02:36] ---
    It's also called
    the "No Hunting Area."
[02:39] ---
    CLOSED DOWN
[02:42] ---
    So this is Training Ground Zero.
[02:45] ---
    That ostrich...
[02:47] ---
    Why'd it have to escape here
    of all places?
[02:50] ---
    The way I figure,
    it came to this place because...
[02:53] ---
    My arms are itching for action!
[02:54] ---
    And so are my legs!
[02:56] ---
    No matter who we're up against,
    I'll beat them!
[03:00] ---
    By the way, have you three
    teamed up before?
[03:04] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[03:09] ---
    Well...
[03:10] ---
    No, that is because I...
[03:12] ---
    All right, fine! Let's go.
[03:18] ---
    Curse you, Lady Hokage.
[03:20] ---
    She just assigned
    any genin who was around.

[03:25] ---
    What?!
[03:26] ---
    Kotetsu, is a team captain?!
[03:28] ---
    Huh? What's the matter, Izumo?
[03:30] ---
    You sent just him on a mission?
[03:32] ---
    It's not that I felt there was
    a difference in your abilities.
[03:37] ---
    Kotetsu was available,
    that's all there is to it.
[03:40] ---
    So don't let it bother
    you so much, Izumo.
[03:43] ---
    Why didn't I get to go with Kotetsu?!
[03:47] ---
    Stop whining, you cry baby!
[05:20] ---
    - Leaf's History -
    Animal District
[05:26] ---
    We'll proceed in
    a single-line formation.
[05:30] ---
    Naruto, you're first.
[05:32] ---
    Right!
[05:33] ---
    I'll go next.
[05:34] ---
    If anything happens to
    the first in line,
[05:36] ---
    I'll back him up.
[05:38] ---
    Then Shino. Stay alert to
    your left and right sides.
[05:41] ---
    Finally, Lee. You bring up the rear.
[05:43] ---
    Understood.
[05:45] ---
    I should be the rear guard.
[05:47] ---
    What?!
[05:48] ---
    That's because someone with
    eyes in the back of his head
[05:51] ---
    is perfect as the rear guard.
[05:52] ---
    I admit I don't have eyes in
    the back of my head, but do you?
[05:57] ---
    Not literally.
[06:01] ---
    But my vision is similar to seeing
    with compound eyes.
[06:04] ---
    Just get to the point, Shino!
[06:07] ---
    You want to say that your insects
    will watch our backs, right?!
[06:12] ---
    Don't rush to a conclusion.
[06:14] ---
    That's because,
    unless the captain agrees,
[06:17] ---
    we can't change positions.
[06:18] ---
    You take the rear, Shino.
[06:20] ---
    And you'll also be my lieutenant.
[06:21] ---
    What?! If there's a lieutenant,
    I should be the one!
[06:25] ---
    I'm the only one who's familiar
    with the ostrich!
[06:28] ---
    That's why you're in the lead position.
[06:30] ---
    Now, start walking.
[06:34] ---
    By the way, Captain.
[06:36] ---
    Where's the ostrich supposed to be?
[06:38] ---
    Huh? I thought you knew.
[06:41] ---
    Lady Hokage said so.
[06:43] ---
    I only know what he looks like.
[06:45] ---
    I don't know where he is.
[06:51] ---
    Lady Hokage!
[06:53] ---
    Why didn't you assign
    sensory-type ninja on this mission?!
[06:58] ---
    Like a Hyuga or an Inuzuka...
[07:00] ---
    They're all gone.
[07:03] ---
    Lady Hokage...
[07:06] ---
    So...what'll we do?
[07:08] ---
    I'll find it.
[07:10] ---
    Shino?
[07:15] ---
    So you're from the Aburame clan.
[07:17] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[07:26] ---
    Did you locate it yet, Shino?
[07:29] ---
    It's a huge area. Calm down.
[07:31] ---
    This is like a tropical jungle.
[07:38] ---
    Don't laugh!
[07:39] ---
    It's your fault that I got
    assigned to this silly mission!
[07:43] ---
    It's useless talking to it.
[07:45] ---
    No... Keep distracting him.
[07:48] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[07:50] ---
    I'll surround him.
[08:01] ---
    Go for it, Shino!
[08:03] ---
    Of course.
    That goes without saying.
[08:06] ---
    All right! In that case,
    leave this one to me!
[08:09] ---
    Your pa's belly button is an outie!
[08:14] ---
    What's with that laugh?!
[08:16] ---
    And why shouldn't he laugh?
[08:18] ---
    He's taking you for a fool.
[08:19] ---
    Wh-What?!
[08:21] ---
    It's certainly true that
    he has a father.
[08:24] ---
    But you can't say that
    the father has an outie.
[08:28] ---
    You are such a pain!
[08:30] ---
    Get to the point, Shino!
[08:31] ---
    That's because ostriches
    come from eggs.
[08:35] ---
    They don't have belly buttons!
[08:37] ---
    Damn! Making a fool of me!
[08:40] ---
    Enough! Well, Shino, are you done?
[08:43] ---
    Strange...
[08:44] ---
    What is it?
[08:45] ---
    My insects are not reacting.
[08:50] ---
    Don't tell me...those are...
[08:53] ---
    insectivorous plants?
[08:55] ---
    Kofura, Kopushi, Komure...
[08:57] ---
    Kononoka, Komiruwa, Konomo,
    Kogure, Kokoko, Koeoku...
[09:00] ---
    Hey, calm down!
[09:02] ---
    My insects...
    Half of them were eaten.
[09:07] ---
    You're not getting away.
[09:08] ---
    Hey!
[09:09] ---
    Let's go, Shino.
[09:11] ---
    I can't go any further.
[09:13] ---
    That's because I risk
    losing more insects.
[09:17] ---
    Then take another route
    and meet us!
[09:26] ---
    Hey! Hold it!
[09:30] ---
    So fast! It's an ostrich, all right.
[09:33] ---
    Leave it to me.
[09:34] ---
    My leg strength has
    Guy Sensei's seal of approval!
[09:38] ---
    Just get going!
[09:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:43] ---
    Bushy Brow sure is fast!
[09:52] ---
    Get ready!
[10:01] ---
    Here he comes!
[10:06] ---
    What?!
[10:10] ---
    This foreign taijutsu, it's boxing!
[10:19] ---
    Huh?
[10:20] ---
    Hey, what happened
    to Bushy Brow?
[10:23] ---
    Here I come, Naruto!
[10:25] ---
    Bring it on!
[10:26] ---
    Huh?! Did he just talk?!
[10:32] ---
    I knew someone would
    come after me,
[10:34] ---
    but I never expected you.
    It must be fate.
[10:40] ---
    However, fate ends here, Naruto.
[10:43] ---
    I'll defeat you and become
    truly free!
[10:47] ---
    Hey ostrich. Don't get too excited
    just from defeating Naruto!
[10:51] ---
    I'm still here. The captain!
[10:54] ---
    Captain?
[10:55] ---
    Then you go down first.
[10:58] ---
    Don't underestimate humans!
[11:13] ---
    Ostrich Aerial!
[11:17] ---
    I-Impossible...
[11:18] ---
    Captain!
[11:26] ---
    Sorry... But this time, I'm serious!
[11:30] ---
    Ostrich Hurricane!
[11:35] ---
    What's wrong, Kotetsu?
[11:38] ---
    Wh-What was that just now?!
[11:41] ---
    Ostrich Rising Dragon Kick!
[11:45] ---
    We make a pretty good team.
[11:50] ---
    That couldn't have been...
[11:54] ---
    Shining Ostrich Kick!
[11:59] ---
    Let's also become jonin some day.
[12:04] ---
    It's a flashback.
[12:06] ---
    A vision you see before death.
[12:13] ---
    Am I going to die here?
[12:16] ---
    Against an ostrich?
[12:23] ---
    Don't get too carried away!
[12:25] ---
    'Cuz I'm your opponent now!
[12:26] ---
    Wait, Naruto!
[12:28] ---
    Let's retreat for now.
[12:32] ---
    So, you throw a variety
    of speedy punches.
[12:36] ---
    However, you can't win
    with punches alone.
[12:39] ---
    I use my legs, do body throws,
    as well as locking techniques.
[12:44] ---
    That punch is old news.
[12:47] ---
    You are just an animal, after all!
[12:50] ---
    What was that just now?!
[12:54] ---
    A tail?!
[13:03] ---
    One, two, three.
    That tail came as a surprise,

[13:07] ---
    but it's a monotonous combination.
[13:09] ---
    One, two, three...
[13:11] ---
    That's as far as you'll get!
[13:16] ---
    Where did that come from?!
[13:23] ---
    Let's fall back for now!
[13:30] ---
    We took them too lightly.
[13:32] ---
    Yes. We thought they were
    nothing more than animals.
[13:35] ---
    But they're not.
[13:38] ---
    They have the intelligence
    to lure and separate us.
[13:41] ---
    They can talk, and fight with skill.
[13:43] ---
    We can't go easy on them.
[13:46] ---
    Our mission is to capture.
[13:48] ---
    But I'll look the other way
    if you overdo it a bit.
[13:49] ---
    Go Captain!
[13:51] ---
    That's such a relief to hear.
[13:53] ---
    It's better than getting beaten up
    by an ostrich or kangaroo.
[14:06] ---
    Listen up, humans!
[14:08] ---
    Get out of here now!
[14:10] ---
    This land belongs to us,
    the animals!
[14:14] ---
    If humans domesticate us,
[14:16] ---
    we'll end up losing
    our fangs and claws!
[14:18] ---
    You don't have fangs!
[14:21] ---
    Silence! You can never capture me!
[14:25] ---
    For I am codenamed, Condor!
[14:28] ---
    Don't call yourself "Condor" when
    you're nothing but an ostrich!
[14:31] ---
    Who cares!
[14:32] ---
    We won't stand for anyone
    who takes away our freedom!
[14:37] ---
    We'll show you the power of
    the Four Ninja Animal Warriors!
[14:40] ---
    Four Ninja Animal Warriors?
    What a laugh.
[14:43] ---
    You can't even count!
[14:45] ---
    Let's attack!
[14:46] ---
    I already am.
[15:00] ---
    Wh-What?!
[15:02] ---
    An anteater?!
[15:04] ---
    It's an insectivore!
[15:07] ---
    My insects...
[15:08] ---
    - Let's go, Bushy Brow!
    - Right!
[15:12] ---
    You again?
[15:14] ---
    Well, it won't go like the last time.
[15:23] ---
    You're not getting away!
[15:25] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[15:33] ---
    Clone Jutsu!
[15:38] ---
    An ostrich who does Clone Jutsu?!
[15:41] ---
    They're just clones!
    There's only one that's real!
[15:49] ---
    An ostrich that can
    do Shadow Clones.
[15:53] ---
    I get it, Captain!
    They're all real ostriches!
[15:58] ---
    He even had them waiting
    for an ambush?
[16:06] ---
    Damn you!
[16:20] ---
    I'm serious this time.
[16:21] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[16:24] ---
    Wha-?! Four Ninja Animal Warriors...
    I get it now.

[16:28] ---
    Lee!
[16:32] ---
    Guess it's either do or die.
[16:35] ---
    Bring it on!
[16:41] ---
    Here I come!
[16:44] ---
    You're mine!
[16:48] ---
    Substitution Jutsu?!
[16:50] ---
    Captain! Behind you!
[16:51] ---
    What?!
[16:58] ---
    What's wrong, Kotetsu.
[17:00] ---
    Not again...
[17:02] ---
    We make a pretty good team.
[17:07] ---
    Th-That really was...
[17:09] ---
    Let's also become jonin
    some day. You and I.

[17:17] ---
    A-A flashback.
[17:22] ---
    I'm going to die after all.
[17:25] ---
    Sorry, Izumo!
[17:26] ---
    I can't keep my promise.
[17:28] ---
    Kotetsu, dodge!
[17:31] ---
    I'm even starting to hear his voice.
[17:35] ---
    Don't give up! Stand up!
[17:38] ---
    Ostrich Meteor Blast!
[17:48] ---
    Reinforcements, eh?
[17:49] ---
    Izumo! You!
[17:51] ---
    We'll use that attack!
[17:53] ---
    R-Right! I'm counting on you!
[18:07] ---
    Water Style: Syrup Trap!
[18:15] ---
    You're mine!
[18:17] ---
    W-Wait!
[18:19] ---
    I don't think so!
[18:27] ---
    Let's go!
[18:35] ---
    Crushed...
[18:38] ---
    It's finally over.
[18:41] ---
    My side too.
[18:47] ---
    I also managed somehow.
[18:53] ---
    Izumo... Thanks for coming.
    You were a lifesaver.
[18:56] ---
    If you hadn't come, I'd be...
[19:00] ---
    There's one problem, though.
[19:01] ---
    I came without finishing up
    some business for Lady Hokage.
[19:05] ---
    When we get back,
    it'll be my turn to help you out.
[19:09] ---
    Hey...
[19:10] ---
    Damn it!
[19:12] ---
    Don't try running away again.
[19:14] ---
    I'm sure you would understand, but...
[19:17] ---
    What is it?
[19:18] ---
    You jerk!
[19:19] ---
    It's sticky!
[19:21] ---
    Don't think I'm going to give up!
[19:31] ---
    This is the fate Naruto and I share.
[19:34] ---
    He'll keep interfering with my freedom.
[19:38] ---
    Hey! Condor!
[19:40] ---
    Did you run away again?!
[19:43] ---
    We'll continue this...
[19:47] ---
    next time!
[19:49] ---
    Hey, wait!
[19:52] ---
    Idiot, idiot, idiot!
[19:54] ---
    Condor!
[19:57] ---
    You idiot! Idiot!
[21:37] ---
    The Special Youth Drink
    I make for Lee
    
    
[21:39] ---
    requires a necessary ingredient:
    the Jofuku Flower.
    
    
[21:42] ---
    It's a mystical plant that
    only grows at Mount Jofuku,
    
    
[21:44] ---
    near the borderline of the Land of Fire.
    
    
[21:46] ---
    It is said to glow in seven colors,
    and cures all sort of illness!
    
    
[21:48] ---
    But because of it's rarity,
    it cannot easily be picked or...
    
    
[21:50] ---
    Then I'll go get them for you!
    
    
[21:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Ah, the Medicine of Youth"
    
    
    
[21:59] ---
    Will you let me finish my sentence?!
    
    
    
[22:06] ---
    So this is Lord Jiraiya's secret code?
[22:08] ---
    From what I heard,
[22:10] ---
    Shikamaru and the Cipher Corps
    are working to decipher it.
[22:13] ---
    Jeez!
[22:15] ---
    Why didn't Lady Tsunade come to us?
[22:19] ---
    We can't keep our fans happy
[22:21] ---
    with boring duties like
    gate-keeping and archiving data.
[22:26] ---
    IZUMO/KOTETSU: LISTEN TO OUR ORDERS.
    SHIKAMARU: WHAT A PAIN.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Back then, we were proctors
    for Shikamaru and the others.
    
    
    
[22:30] ---
    SHIKAMARU: BEING A CHUNIN ISN'T MY THING.
    IZUMO: HE CAUGHT UP WITH US.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Now, he's the same rank as us.
    
    
    
[22:32] ---
    SHIKAMARU: MAKE YOURSELVES USEFUL AT TIMES.
    IZUMO: ...
    KOTETSU: ...
    
    
    
    
    
    
    No, he's higher than us.
    
    
    
[22:38] ---
    Well, there's only one thing to do!
[22:40] ---
    We'll just have to decipher
    this code before they do!
[22:43] ---
    - And leave them speechless!
    - And leave them speechless!
[22:47] ---
    Izumo, Kotetsu,
    I have a job for you.
[22:55] ---
    Sorry to interrupt.
[22:59] ---
    - Wait! No, no!
