[00:30] ---
    Sakura...
[00:34] ---
    How is Lady Hokage?
[00:41] ---
    I see.
[00:44] ---
    Sakura, Guy Sensei prepared
    this medicine.
[00:48] ---
    Please give it to Lady Hokage.
[00:52] ---
    Lee...
[00:54] ---
    Lady Hokage healed my body.
[00:59] ---
    MEDICINE
    
    I want to do whatever I can
    to help her recovery.
[01:14] ---
    I'll be straight with you.
[01:19] ---
    Give up being a ninja.
[01:23] ---
    There are numerous bone fragments
[01:25] ---
    in the area around
    important nerves.

[01:27] ---
    Moreover, they are deeply embedded.
[01:31] ---
    You're not physically capable of carrying out
    the missions of a ninja.

[01:39] ---
    Guy Sensei...
[01:41] ---
    Please tell me!
[01:44] ---
    Why did this kind of thing
    happen only to me?

[01:48] ---
    What should I do?
[03:32] ---
    - Leaf's History -
    Ah, the Medicine of Youth

    
    
    
[03:48] ---
    Ino!
[03:49] ---
    Are you here to check up on Lee, too?
[03:51] ---
    I knew you'd be here.
[03:53] ---
    I came here to look for you two.
[03:56] ---
    You weren't at Sasuke's,
[03:58] ---
    so I figured you'd be here,
    and waited.
[04:03] ---
    Ino, don't tell me you went
    to visit Sasuke alone, did you?
[04:08] ---
    I just thought you were visiting as
    an excuse to make a move on him.
[04:15] ---
    Speak for yourself!
[04:17] ---
    I told you,
    I was just looking for you two!
[04:19] ---
    For what?!
[04:21] ---
    The three of us are going
    on a mission!
[04:26] ---
    Mission?
[04:27] ---
    Why us three?
[04:29] ---
    Sasuke, from your team,
    is in bad condition.
[04:32] ---
    As for our team, Lady Hokage
    has called up Shikamaru
[04:36] ---
    and Choji to help with Village repairs.
[04:39] ---
    It's a D-rank mission,
[04:40] ---
    so they're probably scraping together
    whoever is available.
[04:43] ---
    We finally get a mission and
[04:45] ---
    you just spoiled it for me
    with the way you put it.
[04:50] ---
    Yo! Bushy Brow!
[04:52] ---
    Oh, Sakura...
[04:54] ---
    Shouldn't you say, "Oh, Naruto"?
[04:57] ---
    How are you feeling?
[05:00] ---
    Oh yes...
[05:02] ---
    I'm fine.
[05:05] ---
    R-Really, I feel great!
[05:08] ---
    Especially since Guy Sensei made me
    this special youth drink!
[05:21] ---
    Oh thanks.
    My hand slipped.
[05:29] ---
    It tastes awful!
[05:31] ---
    This is no energy drink!
[05:34] ---
    Oww!
[05:35] ---
    Idiot! What are you doing?!
[05:37] ---
    If you're going scold me, Sakura,
    could you do it before hitting me?
[05:42] ---
    Th-That was my last special youth drink.
[05:47] ---
    Was it that precious to you?
[05:49] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[05:51] ---
    Until now, I drank five liters daily
    and never missed a single day.
[05:56] ---
    Five liters?!
[05:57] ---
    You mean, this awful-tasting thing?
[06:02] ---
    If I kept drinking it,
    I would recover without fail.
[06:06] ---
    That is what Guy Sensei said.
[06:11] ---
    If you have the guts to
    drink this super-bad stuff,
[06:14] ---
    you'll have no problem getting well.
[06:18] ---
    Your Ninja Way is to
    never give up, right?
[06:25] ---
    You're right.
[06:30] ---
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
    
    
[06:30] ---
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
    
    I'm gonna go and see Guy Sensei.
[06:33] ---
    Naruto!
[06:36] ---
    We have a mission!
[06:39] ---
    Wait for me at the South Main Gate.
[06:42] ---
    I'll be right back!
[06:44] ---
    Cripes!
[06:45] ---
    He'll never change.
[06:58] ---
    Is this the Forbidden Jutsu that
[07:00] ---
    will destroy the body
    of the practitioner?

[07:02] ---
    I'm prepared for the worst.
[07:04] ---
    Please teach me that
    Forbidden Jutsu!

[07:08] ---
    Everything is for my dream.
[07:16] ---
    Guy Sensei?
[07:18] ---
    Oh, Naruto. What is it?
[07:20] ---
    No... Well, it's about Lee's medicine.
[07:25] ---
    I see... You already gathered data.
[07:29] ---
    Well done!
[07:30] ---
    Huh?!
[07:31] ---
    One ingredient is absolutely
    essential for Lee's medicine.
[07:35] ---
    And that is the jofuku flower!
[07:36] ---
    Jofuku flower?
[07:38] ---
    The jofuku flower is a mystical plant
    that grows in one place only.
[07:40] ---
    At the foot of Mount Jofuku at
    the border of the Land of Fire.
[07:44] ---
    It is said to glow in seven colors,
    and cures all sorts of illness!
[07:48] ---
    Mount Jofuku...
[07:50] ---
    It's a rare flower that
    is difficult to obtain.
[07:54] ---
    So...
[07:56] ---
    If you had the flower,
    you could make the medicine?
[07:59] ---
    Huh?!
[07:59] ---
    Then I'll go get them for you!
[08:03] ---
    Hey, wait, wait!
[08:06] ---
    Will you let me finish my sentence?!
[08:09] ---
    Just you wait, Bushy Brow!
[08:10] ---
    I'll get it right away!
[08:13] ---
    Hey, I know!
[08:17] ---
    That's odd.
    I know it was around here.
[08:22] ---
    Found it!
[08:24] ---
    Naruto is late.
[08:27] ---
    What is that idiot doing?!
[08:30] ---
    I know he's worried about Lee,
    but we have a mission.
[08:38] ---
    Sakura!
[08:49] ---
    Sorry to keep you two waiting!
[08:52] ---
    Naruto... What's with that get-up?
[08:55] ---
    It looks sorta familiar.
[08:57] ---
    I'm gonna search for
    a medicinal herb for Bushy Brow.
[09:00] ---
    This outfit helps me get in sync
    with Bushy Brow.
[09:03] ---
    Not bad, eh?
[09:07] ---
    "Not bad," you say?
[09:09] ---
    Can't you tell from our reaction?
[09:12] ---
    Come on, Naruto! Have you forgotten
    that we have a mission!
[09:15] ---
    But I have to go to Mount Jofuku
    to get some medicinal herbs.
[09:20] ---
    Mount Jofuku?
[09:21] ---
    Yeah! Mount Jofuku!
[09:23] ---
    For this mission,
    our destination is Mount Jofuku.
[09:27] ---
    Huh?!
[09:30] ---
    You mustn't do that, Lee!
[09:33] ---
    You were told to take it easy
    until the surgery!
[09:37] ---
    I'm sorry...
[09:38] ---
    But I thought I should build up
    my strength a little.
[09:44] ---
    Lee...
[09:46] ---
    I understand how frustrating
    this is for you.
[09:51] ---
    However, in do-or-die situations where
    you can't forge ahead or fall back,
[09:55] ---
    sometimes staying still brings
    about the best result.
[10:01] ---
    Having faith in yourself and
    waiting quietly until the time comes.
[10:07] ---
    That too is courage, Lee.
[10:13] ---
    Yes...
[10:18] ---
    Naruto, Lady Hokage treated Lee, right?
[10:22] ---
    Of course!
[10:24] ---
    But hasn't Lee seemed
    out of sorts lately?
[10:28] ---
    Like he has no energy.
[10:30] ---
    That can't be helped.
    He was badly injured.
[10:32] ---
    It's not that.
    He's not positive like before.
[10:36] ---
    He missed his rehab sessions
    a few times too.
[10:40] ---
    Even today, the usual Lee would...
[10:43] ---
    Sakura, so that I can protect you,
    I'll get better a day sooner.

[10:46] ---
    No, an hour, a minute,
    a second sooner!

[10:52] ---
    It would have been more normal
    if he welcomed me like that.
[10:55] ---
    Just for you?
[10:58] ---
    But...I think Sakura has a point.
[11:03] ---
    Remember, his injuries
    were so serious
[11:05] ---
    even the Medical Team
    couldn't heal him.
[11:07] ---
    It wouldn't surprise me if
    a complete recovery was impossible.
[11:09] ---
    If Lee were told that...
[11:12] ---
    Granny Tsunade will absolutely
    make him well!
[11:16] ---
    I'm just saying that sometimes
[11:17] ---
    it's not right to give
    someone false hope!
[11:20] ---
    Huh?
[11:21] ---
    You may want to cheer him up,
[11:23] ---
    but sometimes it can become
    a burden that has the opposite effect!
[11:26] ---
    That's why you should stop telling Lee
    to "hang in there" so casually, Naruto!
[11:34] ---
    Bushy Brow isn't such a softie.
[11:37] ---
    When I watched him battle Gaara
    during the Chunin Exam,
[11:39] ---
    I thought he was an amazing guy
[11:40] ---
    who was ready to put
    his life on the line.
[11:43] ---
    Until the very end,
    until he lost consciousness,
[11:47] ---
    he stayed on the attack.
[11:48] ---
    I realized he was a guy who
    would never, ever give up.
[11:55] ---
    There's no way I can understand
    the suffering he's going through now.
[12:00] ---
    But he's doing everything in
    his power to overcome it.
[12:02] ---
    I believe in him.
[12:05] ---
    That's why I want to tell
    Bushy Brow to hang in there!
[12:10] ---
    Naruto...
[12:28] ---
    By the way, what's our mission?
[12:31] ---
    Now you ask?
[12:33] ---
    We're to deliver a secret message
    to a village
[12:35] ---
    located at the foot of Mount Jofuku.
[12:37] ---
    That's an easy one.
[12:38] ---
    Let's finish it up quickly,
    so I can go pick some jofuku flowers.
[12:43] ---
    Say, let's take a break.
[12:45] ---
    I want to grab something to eat.
[12:46] ---
    Say, Sakura?
    Were you even listening just now?
[12:51] ---
    Are you going to the jofuku forest?
[12:56] ---
    Y-Yes.
[12:57] ---
    We need to find some
    medicinal herbs.
[13:01] ---
    You'd be wise to turn back.
[13:05] ---
    Why is that?
[13:07] ---
    In these parts,
    it's called the lost woods.
[13:13] ---
    Villagers don't go near it.
[13:17] ---
    The lost woods?
[13:19] ---
    This was the site of ancient battles.
[13:22] ---
    The ghosts of ninja who were killed here
    wander the forest.
[13:27] ---
    That's the legend.
[13:29] ---
    Gh-Ghosts?
[13:34] ---
    My slipper strap broke!
[13:36] ---
    My mirror broke!
[13:43] ---
    - It's all bad luck!
    - It's all bad luck!
[13:45] ---
    There's no such thing as ghosts.
[13:49] ---
    They're just fake rumors!
[13:53] ---
    Old lady, more tea please!
[14:01] ---
    That was one creepy old lady, huh?
[14:04] ---
    She was scarier than a real ghost!
[14:07] ---
    DO NOT ENTER
    
    
    
    That was so mean of her.
[14:09] ---
    DO NOT ENTER
    
    
    
    
[14:10] ---
    DO NOT ENTER
    
    
    
    Huh? What's that?
[14:12] ---
    Looks pretty suspicious to me.
[14:14] ---
    Isn't this the forest
    the old lady was talking about?
[14:18] ---
    So the jofuku flower is in there?
[14:20] ---
    All right!
[14:21] ---
    Our mission comes first, Naruto!
[14:23] ---
    I'll be right back!
[14:26] ---
    He never listens!
[14:28] ---
    What'll we do?
[14:29] ---
    We can't just leave him.
[14:35] ---
    DO NOT ENTER
[14:38] ---
    - It's all bad luck!
    - It's all bad luck!
[14:49] ---
    A flower that glows in seven colors.
[14:51] ---
    Just like Guy Sensei said.
[14:55] ---
    Naruto!
[14:56] ---
    Sakura, take a look.
[14:59] ---
    This is the jofuku flower?
[15:01] ---
    I never heard of a flower that glows
    in seven colors.
[15:04] ---
    There are flowers that
    even florists don't know about?
[15:07] ---
    Well, this is a medicinal herb!
[15:10] ---
    Guy Sensei can make
    Bushy Brow's medicine with this.
[15:25] ---
    What's that?
[15:26] ---
    Could it be...a ghost?
[15:37] ---
    What is that?
[15:38] ---
    Doesn't it look similar to
    the jutsu to control sand?
[15:42] ---
    The one used by Gaara of the Sand.
[15:46] ---
    G-Gaara!
[15:47] ---
    What's he doing here?
[15:48] ---
    Let's retreat for now!
[15:50] ---
    You're right!
[16:05] ---
    Naruto!
[16:07] ---
    Why attack us all of a sudden?
[16:08] ---
    He seems to be after Naruto.
[16:11] ---
    Ino... He's wide open right now.
[16:13] ---
    Can you check out his real identity?
[16:15] ---
    You got it!
[16:16] ---
    Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[16:21] ---
    No way...
[16:22] ---
    What happened?
[16:23] ---
    There's no consciousness there.
[16:39] ---
    You're dealing with a different me today!
[16:46] ---
    Can't keep...running away!
[16:57] ---
    You keep copying Gaara!
[16:59] ---
    Well then...
[17:00] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[17:03] ---
    I don't have taijutsu
    like Bushy Brow.

[17:05] ---
    But...
[17:07] ---
    I have my own style
    of fighting!

[17:30] ---
    He even has sand armor!
[17:32] ---
    Well then, how's this?!
[17:34] ---
    U-zu-ma-ki!
[17:40] ---
    Naruto Barrage!
[17:49] ---
    And for the finish... Rasengan!
[18:06] ---
    - Naruto!
    - Are you all right?!
[18:11] ---
    I beat it.
[18:14] ---
    Finally, Bushy Brow can...
[18:17] ---
    Hey!
[18:20] ---
    What are you doing to
    the precious jofuku flowers?!
[18:24] ---
    You're going to make them wilt!
[18:27] ---
    Who is that?
[18:31] ---
    Our apologies.
    Here is the secret message.
[18:35] ---
    You live in this lonely forest
    all by yourself, old lady?
[18:39] ---
    Not old lady. My name is Furofuki!
[18:43] ---
    As a Medical Ninja
    from the Hidden Leaf,
[18:45] ---
    I'm studying the jofuku flowers.
[18:47] ---
    It's what I love doing,
    so leave me alone!
[18:50] ---
    Umm... That thing we encountered is
[18:53] ---
    like a guardian deity of
    the jofuku flower?
[18:56] ---
    When an attempt is made to pull it out,
    the jofuku flower protects itself.
[19:00] ---
    It searches the perpetrator's mind
    for an image of his archenemy,
[19:02] ---
    transforms into it, and then attacks.
[19:04] ---
    We were thinking of Gaara.
[19:08] ---
    Too bad we didn't think of Choji.
    Then we coulda won easily!
[19:11] ---
    If you hadn't trespassed into
    the jofuku forest,
[19:14] ---
    this would never have happened.
[19:17] ---
    - We're sorry.
    - We're sorry.
[19:19] ---
    Sure am.
[19:22] ---
    I-It's so heavy!
    Are these all jofuku flowers?
[19:28] ---
    Yes. Your mission is to take
    this back to the village.
[19:34] ---
    - Ino...
    - Ino...
[19:35] ---
    Blame the one who ordered
    this mission, not me.
[19:39] ---
    Rejoice, Lee! I brought you
    the greatest gift today!
[19:45] ---
    It's my handmade special
    stamina recovery pills of love!
[19:49] ---
    These herbal pills were made
    with my sweat, tears and love!
[19:53] ---
    And filled with the warm friendship
    of your comrades!
[19:57] ---
    Friendship of my comrades?
[19:59] ---
    Yes. The medicinal herb necessary
    to make these were obtained
[20:02] ---
    by none other than Naruto
    and his team.
[20:05] ---
    Sakura?
[20:06] ---
    Yes, Sakura and Ino.
[20:10] ---
    Which means, these herbal pills
    are filled with Sakura's love too.
[20:15] ---
    Sakura... In order to repay
    your kindness,

[20:18] ---
    I will recover a day sooner.
[20:19] ---
    No, an hour, a minute,
    a second sooner!

[20:24] ---
    If you eat a hundred of these,
    you won't need to fear surgery!
[20:28] ---
    One hundred, right?
[20:29] ---
    Oh wait... Now hold on!
[20:31] ---
    So how many must I eat daily?
[20:35] ---
    I see you're not making
    the same mistake this time.
[20:39] ---
    Bravo, Lee.
[20:40] ---
    However, this time, it's 100 in one day!
[20:46] ---
    I won't let you suffer alone!
[20:48] ---
    While you are eating,
    I'll do 1000 speed push-ups!
[22:37] ---
    Why do I have to train to break free
    of genjutsu now?
    
    
[22:41] ---
    Don't you remember what
    your goal for training was?
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Huh? To bring back Sasuke, of course!
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Sasuke possesses the Sharingan.
    
    
[22:48] ---
    Naturally, he will learn to
    master genjutsu.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Unless you have the means
    to counter that,
    
    
[22:52] ---
    you can't possibly achieve your goal.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Gutsy Master and Student: The Training"
    
    
    
[23:00] ---
    We shall now begin training
    to break genjutsu!
    
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
