**[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!
