**[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!
