[00:01] ---
    It's been a long time, you two.
[00:03] ---
    I'm sure your training produced
    good results, right?
[00:06] ---
    Do you think we came back
    without making progress?
[00:10] ---
    It went perfectly!
[00:12] ---
    Then show me
    those results immediately.
[00:15] ---
    Show you...?
[00:17] ---
    You will take on a particular man.
[00:19] ---
    I didn't send him on any missions
    for the past several days
[00:22] ---
    and had him stand by
    for this very purpose.
[00:25] ---
    Your opponent will be...
[00:29] ---
    Come in!
[00:33] ---
    Hello.
[00:38] ---
    Shikamaru! Temari!
    Look who's here!
[00:43] ---
    Naruto.
[00:45] ---
    Hey! That is you isn't it, Naruto!
[00:48] ---
    Shikamaru!
[00:49] ---
    This is...that little shrimp...?
[00:52] ---
    So you're back?
[00:54] ---
    Yeah, I got back this morning.
[00:58] ---
    You don't look
    as stupid as before...
[01:00] ---
    I mean, hey, have you changed?
[01:06] ---
    No, he hasn't.
[01:08] ---
    Oh...I thought so.
[01:10] ---
    Sakura.
[01:17] ---
    Then, does this mean
    you're my opponent, Shikamaru?
[01:21] ---
    Opponent? What do you mean?
[01:24] ---
    I just came to deliver
    some documents.
[01:26] ---
    Huh? You're not
    my opponent, Shikamaru?
[01:29] ---
    Then...?
[01:33] ---
    Who're you again?
[01:34] ---
    You don't remember me?
[01:36] ---
    Naruto, that's not your opponent.
[01:40] ---
    He's out there.
[01:49] ---
    You sure got tall...Naruto.
[01:53] ---
    Yo!
[01:57] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[03:29] ---
    The Akatsuki Makes Its Move
    
    
    
[03:33] ---
    Sensei, you haven't changed one bit!
[03:37] ---
    Oh yeah.
[03:38] ---
    Listen, listen...
    I've got a present for you, Sensei.
[03:45] ---
    This is sure a nostalgic sight.
[03:47] ---
    Yes, it is...
[03:48] ---
    What?!
[03:51] ---
    You got me... Th-This is...
[03:56] ---
    This is the first new title in
    the Make-Out series in three years!
[04:00] ---
    I think it's totally boring,
[04:01] ---
    but you like this stuff,
    don't you, Sensei?!
[04:04] ---
    That idiot...No way could
    a kid understand the appeal.
[04:08] ---
    And on top of that,
[04:10] ---
    it's a very rare item that hasn't
    even been released yet...
[04:17] ---
    All right! That's enough fun
    for now, Kakashi.
[04:27] ---
    Don't tell me...
    Are you my opponent...?
[04:30] ---
    Hmm, not quite...
[04:37] ---
    Gee, it's been a while
    since I saw you too, Sakura.
[04:41] ---
    Yes, it has, Kakashi Sensei.
[04:43] ---
    My opponent will be...
[04:49] ---
    Naruto...and Sakura,
    the both of you!
[04:55] ---
    Kakashi Sensei's our opponent...
[04:57] ---
    I want to see what you
    can do against Kakashi...
[05:00] ---
    I will determine your status
    in the future based on the results.
[05:06] ---
    Status, eh?
[05:07] ---
    Sakura, show me that
[05:09] ---
    you weren't just wasting
    your time training under me.
[05:12] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:13] ---
    Then, shall we get right to it?
[05:17] ---
    That's what I'd like to say.
[05:20] ---
    But since you just got back Naruto,
    you must be tired.
[05:23] ---
    I'll give you a short rest.
[05:25] ---
    I'm not particularly tired
    or anything!
[05:28] ---
    Let's meet up at
    the Third Training Grounds later.
[05:31] ---
    See ya.
[05:34] ---
    Why's he in such a hurry?
[05:38] ---
    I have a pretty good idea...
[05:41] ---
    He's going to read his book.
[05:43] ---
    Oh!
[05:43] ---
    With that look he had,
    there's no doubt about it.
[05:47] ---
    That's the obvious reaction
[05:49] ---
    after getting an unreleased copy
    of one of my books.
[05:55] ---
    That Kakashi Sensei.
[05:57] ---
    Is that stupid book
    more important to him
[05:59] ---
    than the results of our training?
[06:02] ---
    Well, now we can discuss our strategy
    against Kakashi Sensei.
[06:09] ---
    So, are you guys on a date?
[06:13] ---
    It's not like that.
[06:15] ---
    Heh! Cut out the jokes.
[06:17] ---
    Why would I be on
    a date with this guy?
[06:19] ---
    It's almost time for
    the Chunin Exams.
[06:21] ---
    I've just been going back and forth
    between the Sand and the Leaf
[06:24] ---
    for meetings concerning the Exams.
[06:26] ---
    And although it's a pain,
[06:28] ---
    I've been put in charge
    of the Exams...
[06:31] ---
    I've just been told to act as
    a guide for the Sand messenger.
[06:36] ---
    Chunin Exams, huh...?
[06:40] ---
    That sure takes me back...
[06:44] ---
    Oh...
[06:45] ---
    So what're you going to do, Naruto?
[06:47] ---
    About what?
[06:49] ---
    About the Chunin Exams.
[06:52] ---
    You're the only one from our class
    who hasn't become a Chunin.
[07:04] ---
    What?!
[07:06] ---
    Th-Then, you're also a Chunin, Sakura?
[07:09] ---
    Heh-heh...That's right.
[07:11] ---
    And just for the record,
    Kankuro, this person here,
[07:15] ---
    and Neji who's one grade above us
    are already Jonin.
[07:19] ---
    Huh?!
[07:22] ---
    Then what about Gaara?!
[07:37] ---
    Lord Kazekage...
[07:39] ---
    The meeting is about to begin.
[07:47] ---
    Okay.
[07:49] ---
    I see...
[07:51] ---
    So Gaara became the Kazekage, huh...?
[07:59] ---
    That's awesome...
[08:02] ---
    I won't be outdone!
[08:10] ---
    I'll become the Hokage,
    no matter what!
[08:13] ---
    Just you wait, Gaara!
[08:19] ---
    I guess...
    he has matured a little, after all.
[08:33] ---
    What do you think?!
    Pretty good, huh...?
[08:38] ---
    It is my finest work.
[08:49] ---
    I leave Naruto in your care
    as promised...
[08:53] ---
    It'd be nice if he's grown
    at least a little.
[08:58] ---
    Heh... You'd think I've slipped up?
[09:02] ---
    You'll get beaten out
    if you get careless.
[09:04] ---
    Well, that's encouraging to hear.
[09:08] ---
    And their actions are
    gaining momentum.
[09:16] ---
    Over the past several years,
[09:17] ---
    the strength of our village
    has stabilized,
[09:19] ---
    and relations with the Hidden Villages
    in each allied land have prospered.
[09:25] ---
    In particular,
    we have achieved good results
[09:27] ---
    in our development of recruits
    with the curriculum incorporating...
[09:31] ---
    the training program
    from the Leaf Village.
[09:33] ---
    The Chunin Exams are almost here.
    I look forward to the results.
[09:38] ---
    However... at this time,
    with the Chunin Exams upon us,
[09:41] ---
    there is a nasty rumor
    going around...
[09:44] ---
    What is it, Yura?
[09:46] ---
    Have you heard of the organization
    called the "Akatsuki"?
[09:59] ---
    I see... So they're finally
    making their move.
[10:02] ---
    It's something we were expecting
    to a degree, though.
[10:08] ---
    The Akatsuki, huh...?
[10:10] ---
    The Akatsuki is a mysterious organization
    composed of a dozen or so Shinobi.
[10:17] ---
    The members of the organization
    are vicious S-Rank criminals
[10:20] ---
    all listed in the Bingo Book.
[10:23] ---
    Of those identified...
[10:26] ---
    there is Itachi Uchiha from
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves
[10:29] ---
    who drove his own clan
    to annihilation in one night.
[10:34] ---
    There is Kisame Hoshigaki
[10:36] ---
    who was once a member of
    the Seven Ninja Swords Men of the Mist.
[10:38] ---
    He was known as
    the phantom of the Mist.
[10:41] ---
    And there is Orochimaru
[10:42] ---
    who once plotted the destruction
    of the Leaf...
[10:44] ---
    and assassinated
    the previous Kazekage.
[10:47] ---
    It is said he used to be
    a member of this organization.
[10:55] ---
    Why have they started taking
    such dramatic action?
[10:59] ---
    What's their goal?
[11:00] ---
    That's beyond me at this point...
    What I do know...
[11:08] ---
    is that they're after
    what's inside Naruto.
[11:12] ---
    And...that they've got something evil
    in mind.
[11:18] ---
    I passed on this information
[11:19] ---
    to those in charge of security
    for each land.
[11:22] ---
    I sure hope they tighten up
    their security immediately.
[11:34] ---
    I see... I'd heard the rumors...
[11:39] ---
    So the organization in question
    is finally taking action...
[11:42] ---
    The source of the information
    is Lord Jiraiya,
[11:45] ---
    one of the legendary Sannin.
[11:47] ---
    So prior to the meeting,
[11:49] ---
    I took the liberty of issuing an order
    to increase Village security.
[11:53] ---
    Anbu Black Ops masters
    have already been stationed
[11:56] ---
    at key points around the village.
[11:58] ---
    No matter how powerful
    the Shinobi may be,
[12:00] ---
    they will not be able
    to infiltrate by force.
[12:04] ---
    I hear the members of the Akatsuki
    wear black clothing
[12:07] ---
    in addition to capes with
    a red cloud pattern on them.
[12:11] ---
    I ordered security to attack
    with full force
[12:13] ---
    should they see someone
    fitting that description.
[12:19] ---
    Now then...
    the meeting is adjourned.
[12:32] ---
    Well done, Yura.
[12:34] ---
    I never thought you'd take action
    so quickly.
[12:37] ---
    I have also served as
    a superior for four years.
[12:41] ---
    It is my intention...
[12:43] ---
    to always make decisions
    while considering...
[12:47] ---
    what's in the best interest...
    of the...village.
[12:55] ---
    SEAL
[13:02] ---
    What's the matter?
[13:03] ---
    Nothing... It's nothing at all...
[13:07] ---
    I just haven't slept much...
[13:09] ---
    I see...You need to take care
    of yourself.
[13:12] ---
    Thank you for your concern.
[13:17] ---
    I see... That's right...
[13:32] ---
    I see. So we have to deal
    with this one,
[13:35] ---
    then go after the guy
    we sent to Orochimaru, huh?
[13:37] ---
    It seems he turned traitor
    and leaked information about us.
[13:44] ---
    It can't be helped.
[13:46] ---
    Even I don't know what happens
    after the Jutsu is cast.
[13:50] ---
    More importantly,
    will just that bag be enough?
[13:54] ---
    Our opponent will be
    using the Jinchuriki.
[13:58] ---
    All of my Jutsu are works of art.
[14:02] ---
    And I made sure to
    bring my specialty.
[14:09] ---
    After all, our opponent
    is the One-Tailed.
[14:27] ---
    Third Training Grounds
[14:39] ---
    Is Kakashi Sensei
    going to make us wait forever?!
[14:42] ---
    Well, he's always been like this.
[14:45] ---
    Geez, it'd be nice if he'd show
    a little improvement.
[14:51] ---
    Oh, sorry about that.
[14:53] ---
    As it happens, I ran into an old woman
    in trouble on my way here and...
[14:56] ---
    - Okay! That's a lie!
    - Okay! That's a lie!
[15:04] ---
    This place...
    kind of takes me back.
[15:13] ---
    Your task for today is
[15:14] ---
    to take these bells away from me
    by this afternoon.
[15:18] ---
    Those unable to get a bell
    will get no lunch.
[15:20] ---
    What?!
[15:21] ---
    You'll be tied to those posts and
[15:23] ---
    then I'll eat your lunch right
    in front of you.
[15:31] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
[15:32] ---
    this was your first Training Ground,
    wasn't it?
[15:37] ---
    Squad Seven...
[15:40] ---
    The Three-Man Squad, huh...?
[15:44] ---
    We had Sasuke with us...
    back then, didn't we?
[15:53] ---
    Don't go!
[15:55] ---
    If you do, I'll scream...!
[16:02] ---
    Sakura.
[16:08] ---
    Thanks.
[16:17] ---
    Sasuke.
[16:24] ---
    Sasuke!
[16:34] ---
    Yo, goofball.
[16:46] ---
    Sasuke's name is
    off limits for these guys...
[16:56] ---
    Well... Let's see how much
    you've grown.
[16:59] ---
    You haven't given up
    on Sasuke, have you?
[17:01] ---
    Absolutely not!
[17:03] ---
    That's why I continued my training!
[17:09] ---
    The rules are the same
    as when we first met.
[17:12] ---
    I don't care how you do it.
    Just take a bell away from me.
[17:17] ---
    - If you don't...
    - "come at me with the intent to kill,"
[17:20] ---
    "we won't be able to get the bells", right?
[17:24] ---
    You can use Shuriken
    if you want.
[17:27] ---
    If you don't come at me
    with the intent to kill,
[17:28] ---
    you won't be able to get the bells.
[17:33] ---
    Exactly.
[17:34] ---
    If you don't come at me
    with the intent to kill,
[17:36] ---
    you won't be able to get the bells.
[17:38] ---
    You have until sunrise tomorrow.
[17:48] ---
    Now then, shall we begin?
[17:52] ---
    You're not going to do it
[17:53] ---
    while reading your book
    this time around, Kakashi Sensei?
[17:56] ---
    Or have you already
    finished reading?
[18:00] ---
    Nope... I thought I'd save
    the fun for later...
[18:05] ---
    Besides...
[18:06] ---
    Well, I kind of get the feeling...
[18:09] ---
    I may have to...
[18:12] ---
    get a bit serious this time around.
[18:32] ---
    What's that...?
[18:37] ---
    Black clothing and
    a red cloud pattern.
[18:40] ---
    Don't tell me...
[18:42] ---
    Is that...?
[18:43] ---
    Contact Captain Yura immediately!
[18:47] ---
    Captain Yura!
[18:48] ---
    Some guys from the organization
    in question have shown up.
[18:50] ---
    I know.
[18:52] ---
    You don't need to worry...
    It'll be over soon.
[19:15] ---
    Good work, Yura.
[19:18] ---
    Do you remember me?
[19:21] ---
    Yes, Lord Sasori!
[19:59] ---
    Let's go!
[21:38] ---
    The time to unveil
    my newest work has come.
[21:42] ---
    It's been three years
    since my previous masterpiece,
[21:44] ---
    "Make-Out Violence."
[21:45] ---
    You'll forget about time, forget to breathe,
    and forget yourself with this,
[21:49] ---
    a masterpiece filled with soul.
[21:51] ---
    Pre-orders for "Make-Out Tactics"
[21:54] ---
    are now being accepted
    at the Leaf Shuueidou.
[21:56] ---
    Buy it now, everyone! Okay?
[21:58] ---
    Stop advertising your book here!
[22:01] ---
    Next time:
    "The Results of Training"
