[00:07] ---
    Sakura, do not fear...
[00:12] ---
    I'm here. You step back.
[00:23] ---
    Assault Blade.
[00:38] ---
    If you're going to defy me,
    then I guess I have no choice.
[00:44] ---
    Will you join that kid
[00:47] ---
    as additions to my collection,
    Grandma Chiyo...?
[00:58] ---
    Wh-What's that...?
[01:04] ---
    That's not Sasori's real body...
[01:08] ---
    I can kind of tell
    that's not his real body.
[01:13] ---
    Yes...
    That's...a puppet.
[01:19] ---
    But where's his real body?
[01:23] ---
    Puppet Masters are supposed to be
    pulling the strings from behind, right?
[01:28] ---
    His real body's inside that.
[01:32] ---
    Inside?
[01:35] ---
    Puppet Masters have trouble
    with close-range combat.
[01:39] ---
    After all, when controlling a puppet,
    they are prone to openings ...
[01:45] ---
    That puppet there has basically
    surmounted that problem.
[01:52] ---
    The puppet acts as a shield
    as well as a weapon.
[01:58] ---
    It's Sasori's specialty, Hiruko.
[02:01] ---
    Lady Chiyo... About that puppet...
[02:06] ---
    I know a lot about it.
[02:11] ---
    Do you know how I make
    my collection?
[02:19] ---
    First. I pull out the organs...
[02:23] ---
    Then after I've washed
    the body nice and clean...
[02:26] ---
    I extract the blood.
[02:31] ---
    Once I've prepared the body
    so it won't decay,
[02:33] ---
    I fill it with hidden weapons
    and then...
[02:35] ---
    it becomes a complete addition
    to my puppet collection.
[02:41] ---
    Just as the old woman said,
    this form you see...
[02:44] ---
    Hiruko, is a part of my collection.
[02:49] ---
    And with the little girl and
    Granny Chiyo added...
[02:53] ---
    I'll have exactly three hundred
    in my collection.
[02:58] ---
    It's my art!
[04:33] ---
    Hiruko vs. Two Kunoichi!
    
    
    
[04:45] ---
    Gaara...!
[04:56] ---
    Is it okay for you to be taking me on?
[05:01] ---
    Kakashi Sensei of the Sharingan.
[05:07] ---
    I hate to say this, but...
[05:09] ---
    my man Sasori is stronger than I am...
[05:13] ---
    Probably...
[05:16] ---
    Our ideas of art are
    quite different, though.
[05:26] ---
    Art, huh?
[05:28] ---
    Lady Chiyo?
[05:30] ---
    Back when he was
    in the Hidden Sand,
[05:32] ---
    he was called a master craftsman...
[05:36] ---
    and he built many excellent puppets.
[05:41] ---
    But he devoted most of his energy
[05:44] ---
    into turning people into puppets
    and collecting them.
[05:50] ---
    He calls that "art."
[05:54] ---
    And that puppet Hiruko...
[05:58] ---
    used to be a Shinobi
    from another village.
[06:02] ---
    He was turned into that form
    you see there by Sasori...
[06:06] ---
    He turned into a "human puppet"
[06:08] ---
    while still maintaining
    his original human form.
[06:14] ---
    A human puppet.
[06:15] ---
    That's what'll happen to you
    very soon.
[06:18] ---
    You'll become one of
    my works of art.
[06:25] ---
    Hiruko is a puppet with
    a great attack and defense.
[06:29] ---
    Be that as it may, first we need
    to extract Sasori out of Hiruko.
[06:34] ---
    Then, how do we do that?
[06:36] ---
    The most frightening thing about
    a puppet is their hidden weapon.
[06:40] ---
    If we can't figure out what they are,
[06:42] ---
    we won't be able to tell where
    and how he'll attack.
[06:47] ---
    But Lady Chiyo,
[06:49] ---
    you know a lot about the mechanisms
    of that puppet...
[06:52] ---
    We've got the edge.
[06:54] ---
    Yes...
[06:56] ---
    That's why I thought I could
    take him on by myself at first.
[07:01] ---
    At first?
[07:03] ---
    But...it doesn't look like it'll work.
[07:07] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:09] ---
    It has a different form than
    the Hiruko puppet I used to know.
[07:18] ---
    First of all, he didn't have
    a shell like that on his back.
[07:22] ---
    He probably has a better ability
    to guard now.
[07:26] ---
    And it's the first time
    I've seen that left arm.
[07:31] ---
    In which case, his most important
    hidden weapon mechanism
[07:34] ---
    might also have been improved.
[07:37] ---
    What do we do?
[07:39] ---
    In order to defeat Sasori,
[07:41] ---
    first we must destroy that Hiruko.
[07:45] ---
    However, I don't have that kind
    of destructive power.
[07:50] ---
    But Sakura...
[07:53] ---
    You do.
[07:56] ---
    That incredible strength
    Princess Tsunade...
[08:05] ---
    personally taught you.
[08:12] ---
    Okay!
[08:23] ---
    Listen carefully, Sakura.
[08:26] ---
    First, get close to him...
[08:28] ---
    and smash the puppet with
    your incredible strength.
[08:37] ---
    However, you must dodge all
    of his hidden device attacks.
[08:45] ---
    All of them, perfectly!
[08:52] ---
    You must not even get a scratch.
[08:55] ---
    Poison, right...?
[08:57] ---
    That's right... Even a scratch
    can turn into a fatal wound.
[09:04] ---
    Here I go.
[09:08] ---
    Hold him down!
[09:09] ---
    Right!
[09:18] ---
    In order to dodge his attacks,
    you must figure out the tricks
[09:21] ---
    to the hidden weapons of
    the master craftsman's puppet.
[09:25] ---
    And you must also be able
    to immediately assess
[09:27] ---
    how to dodge his attacks.
[09:42] ---
    I don't think I can do either at all...
[09:47] ---
    Indeed...
[09:50] ---
    In order to do that,
[09:51] ---
    a lot of actual battle experience
    is required.
[09:55] ---
    Then...how can I...?
[09:59] ---
    What do I look like to you?
[10:02] ---
    Do I just look like
    an unreliable old bag...?
[10:09] ---
    Or...
[10:17] ---
    Leave it to me...
[10:21] ---
    That's why I'm here!
[10:25] ---
    I have much more actual
    battle experience than he does.
[10:29] ---
    And he knows that.
[10:31] ---
    That's why he doesn't attempt
    to attack carelessly.
[10:35] ---
    This man who so hates
    waiting for people,
[10:38] ---
    and being kept waiting by them...
[10:41] ---
    And besides...
[10:44] ---
    I made the first move.
[10:49] ---
    Sakura. Lend me your ears.
[10:53] ---
    You and I...
[11:00] ---
    will defeat him!
[11:14] ---
    What're they planning?
[11:25] ---
    From here, I can't make out
    what they're saying...
[11:33] ---
    Understood.
[11:36] ---
    I'll give it a try.
[11:38] ---
    Are you about ready?
[11:41] ---
    You know I hate to
    be kept waiting, don't you?
[11:48] ---
    Rest easy. We'll...
[11:54] ---
    ...put an end to this soon.
[12:14] ---
    It looks like they've started.
[12:21] ---
    Is just that little girl...
    and that old bag...
[12:25] ---
    really up to the task of taking
    on my man Sasori?
[12:37] ---
    So he wants to fight Naruto
    one-on-one if he can, huh?
[12:41] ---
    He's a Shinobi who defeated...
[12:43] ---
    the Kazekage,
    one of the five great Kage.
[12:46] ---
    Naruto probably wouldn't be
    a match for him alone.
[12:50] ---
    You go to Sakura, Sensei.
[13:07] ---
    I'll save...Gaara!
[13:52] ---
    It wouldn't be worthwhile if
    you were beaten that easily.
[14:01] ---
    I won't let you...
    have Gaara, no matter what!
[15:11] ---
    They're seeing through it...huh?
[15:14] ---
    If so...
[15:25] ---
    Die!
[15:59] ---
    They completely dodged
    my attack just now?
[16:12] ---
    I understand Grandma Chiyo
    being able to.
[16:14] ---
    But that little girl...
[16:24] ---
    How?!
[16:28] ---
    Grandma Chiyo's...
[16:31] ---
    not moving...?
[16:36] ---
    I'm being mocked...
[16:38] ---
    I can't believe she's charging at me
    head on without any backup...
[16:52] ---
    It won't move!
[16:54] ---
    I get it! Grandma...!
[16:57] ---
    Now, Sakura!
[17:01] ---
    Smash him!
[17:02] ---
    Right!
[17:14] ---
    I'm taking back Gaara!
[17:17] ---
    You're sure a weird Jinchuriki.
[17:23] ---
    I'd heard that Jinchuriki were
    gloomy misanthropes.
[17:31] ---
    Not counting this guy,
[17:33] ---
    my comrades have
    defeated two Jinchuriki.
[17:38] ---
    It seems not even
    one comrade or villager
[17:42] ---
    attempted to save them.
[17:48] ---
    In fact, it seems there were actually
    some people who were glad...
[18:01] ---
    So you couldn't forsake someone
    pitiful and hated like you?
[18:07] ---
    Gaara...
[18:34] ---
    Gaara died after
    the One-Tail was extracted.
[18:41] ---
    That will soon happen to you...too!
[18:56] ---
    I won't...forgive you jerks!
[19:33] ---
    So you've finally come out, huh?
[19:42] ---
    That's his real body!
[19:44] ---
    I've come this far to see
    my grandson's face.
[19:59] ---
    After twenty years,
    what say we face each other?
[21:36] ---
    Now we're down to
    the final question.
[21:38] ---
    "Whatever Kind of Job
    in the World Quiz,"
[21:40] ---
    the last guest is this person!
[21:41] ---
    Hey, this guy's covered
    in a cape from head to toe!
[21:44] ---
    I got it! A famous actor, right?
[21:47] ---
    Then, a muscular carpenter!
[21:50] ---
    A job that has uniforms?
[21:51] ---
    - Give us a hint!
    - No hint whatsoever!
[21:53] ---
    I don't get it!
[21:54] ---
    Time is running out!
[21:55] ---
    H-Hold on!
[21:57] ---
    Too bad guys! Now, let's have
    the guest to take off the cape.
[22:02] ---
    Next time:
    Sasori's Real Face
