[00:35] ---
    Huh? Where'd that guy go?
[00:57] ---
    Ready?
[00:59] ---
    Yeah.
[01:02] ---
    Then begin.
[02:34] ---
    Painful Decision
    
    
[02:53] ---
    If only Lady Tsunade would
    come out of her coma,
[02:56] ---
    I know she would resolve
    the situation with Sasuke.
[03:02] ---
    Sakura...
[03:04] ---
    Excuse me.
[03:08] ---
    Sai?
[03:12] ---
    I need to speak to you.
[03:40] ---
    Naruto did what?!
[03:41] ---
    Yes.
[03:43] ---
    In order to protect Sasuke.
[03:46] ---
    He was bruised and battered all over.
[04:00] ---
    You bastard.
[04:09] ---
    Still, he refused to sell out Sasuke.
[04:13] ---
    Not only that...
[04:14] ---
    In order to prevent you from worrying,
[04:16] ---
    he asked me to keep it quiet.
[04:20] ---
    Naruto...
[04:23] ---
    He's on his way to see the Raikage
[04:25] ---
    and ask him to forgive Sasuke.
[04:28] ---
    Why would he be so reckless?!
[04:30] ---
    Wasn't Kakashi with him?!
[04:34] ---
    It probably wouldn't have
    made any difference.
[04:36] ---
    Kakashi Sensei has faith in Naruto.
[04:39] ---
    Even if it's a long shot,
[04:41] ---
    he probably wants to create
    an opportunity for him.
[04:47] ---
    If Lady Tsunade were there,
    she'd have done the same thing.
[04:51] ---
    Sakura...
[04:54] ---
    I was only recently assigned to
    Team Kakashi to take Sasuke's place.
[04:59] ---
    So I still don't know
    all of you that well.
[05:04] ---
    And I'm not good at understanding
    a person's feelings.
[05:07] ---
    Also...
[05:09] ---
    What?!
[05:10] ---
    Did you tell her how you feel?
[05:16] ---
    How could I?
[05:19] ---
    I'm a guy who couldn't even
    keep my promise to her.
[05:24] ---
    I don't know the promise made
    between you and Naruto.
[05:29] ---
    Naruto...
[05:32] ---
    This is a once
    in a lifetime request.
[05:37] ---
    Please...
[05:40] ---
    Please bring Sasuke back.
[05:46] ---
    But...
[05:47] ---
    Even I can tell that
    Naruto loves you!
[05:57] ---
    You care for Sasuke so much.
[06:05] ---
    And I know what
    you're going through right now...
[06:09] ---
    so much so that it hurts.
[06:13] ---
    I swear I'll bring Sasuke back!
[06:16] ---
    I promise that on my life!
[06:22] ---
    Sakura! I'll keep my promise to you.
[06:27] ---
    I swear I'll keep it because I said so.
[06:34] ---
    I said so...
[06:37] ---
    I never go back on my word.
[06:41] ---
    That's my Ninja Way.
[06:49] ---
    Sakura...
[06:52] ---
    It's as though Naruto has
    been shouldering
[06:55] ---
    the burden of his promise to you.
[06:59] ---
    As though he intends to bear
    that burden for the rest of his life.
[07:02] ---
    I don't know what you told Naruto.
[07:06] ---
    But it's no different from
    what was done to me.
[07:13] ---
    It's like a Curse Mark.
[07:18] ---
    Sasuke is the source of
    Naruto's agony.
[07:29] ---
    But aren't you a part of it too?
[07:39] ---
    Ino...
[07:57] ---
    Don't cry, Ino!
[07:58] ---
    Kiba, don't be so harsh.
[08:01] ---
    You know how Ino has felt
    about Sasuke all these...
[08:04] ---
    It can't be helped!
[08:08] ---
    Things have changed since then.
[08:13] ---
    Will they be okay?
[08:15] ---
    Look at Ino.
[08:17] ---
    How will Naruto and Sakura take it?
[08:20] ---
    Let's leave it to Shikamaru.
[08:22] ---
    He'll find the right words.
[08:25] ---
    Plus, there was that first mission of his
    as a squad leader that failed,
[08:30] ---
    and he still feels somewhat
    responsible for it.
[08:34] ---
    If only we had been able to take
    Sasuke back that time.
[08:40] ---
    That's why he volunteered
    to be the persuader.
[08:47] ---
    Wait! Naruto genuinely wants
    to rescue Sasuke,
[08:50] ---
    not just because he promised
    Sakura! Isn't that so?
[08:55] ---
    I totally agree with you.
[08:59] ---
    But...both Sakura and I...
[09:02] ---
    and everyone else rely on
    Naruto too much.
[09:05] ---
    I've watched how Naruto
    has been acting lately
[09:07] ---
    and I figured out what he's feeling.
[09:12] ---
    It's sadness.
[09:16] ---
    Then my thoughts turn to Sasuke...
    and it starts to get warm inside my gut.
[09:22] ---
    I realize now that it's anger.
[09:31] ---
    Whether it's for Naruto's sake
    or for the village,
[09:34] ---
    we can't just rely on Naruto.
[09:37] ---
    We have to take action ourselves.
[09:39] ---
    Sasuke is...
[09:41] ---
    Sai is absolutely right.
[09:44] ---
    Shikamaru...
[09:49] ---
    We're not kids anymore.
[09:52] ---
    We must stop the Akatsuki.
[09:54] ---
    And we must stop Sasuke.
[10:01] ---
    I came here for Team 7's consent.
[10:07] ---
    Consent? Don't tell me...
[10:09] ---
    Yes...exactly that.
[10:13] ---
    We can't allow war to break out
    between the Hidden Leaf
[10:16] ---
    and the Hidden Cloud
    because of Sasuke.
[10:21] ---
    Let me put it another way.
    Listen carefully.
[10:26] ---
    If the Hidden Cloud should
    kill Sasuke,
[10:28] ---
    there's no way Ino or you,
    or Naruto, would take it quietly.
[10:33] ---
    And if through some act
    of recklessness,
[10:35] ---
    Ino and you are killed by the Cloud...
[10:38] ---
    neither I, Choji, Inoichi nor
    your parents would sit still.
[10:44] ---
    They would seek revenge.
[10:47] ---
    Then the other side won't
    remain quiet.
[10:49] ---
    They'll want revenge.
[10:52] ---
    And if Choji and I are killed,
[10:55] ---
    then it will be our parents
    who take action.
[10:59] ---
    And before we know it,
    we'll be at war.
[11:03] ---
    According to the messenger
    from the Cloud,
[11:05] ---
    Sasuke is already being treated
    as a criminal on a national level.
[11:10] ---
    If Sasuke continues to align himself
    with the Akatsuki
[11:13] ---
    and intensify the hatred throughout
    the country,
[11:17] ---
    the Hidden Leaf must deal
    with Sasuke.
[11:20] ---
    That is my belief.
[11:23] ---
    You understand where
    I'm coming from, don't you?
[11:28] ---
    Sakura...
[11:34] ---
    That's why I need your consent.
[11:37] ---
    Sakura, will you...
[11:39] ---
    Shikamaru!
[11:42] ---
    Please don't...
[11:46] ---
    say anything more.
[11:58] ---
    Sorry, Sakura...
    But whatever your answer is,
[12:02] ---
    I must act for the sake of
    the Leaf's future.
[12:06] ---
    I intend to tell Naruto this too.
[12:09] ---
    Where is he?
[12:12] ---
    Naruto has gone to the Land of Iron.
[12:15] ---
    To meet with the Raikage.
[12:18] ---
    He's willing to go that far?
[12:22] ---
    I guess this isn't gonna be easy.
[12:28] ---
    I'll talk to Naruto.
[12:30] ---
    Sakura!
[12:40] ---
    He's foolish enough to like
    someone like me.
[12:45] ---
    So let me handle this.
[12:56] ---
    I'm the one who made
    Naruto suffer the most.
[13:00] ---
    I'm always messing up.
[13:03] ---
    One failure after another.
[13:05] ---
    I don't want to make
    any more mistakes.
[13:07] ---
    I don't want to fail.
[13:11] ---
    That's why...
[13:24] ---
    Let the Hokage lead
    the Allied Shinobi Forces?!
[13:34] ---
    If you all approve,
    I will accept this appointment.
[13:49] ---
    Why the Hokage?!
[13:52] ---
    He is synonymous with
    the dark side of ninja!
[13:56] ---
    We cannot let him take charge!
[14:01] ---
    Then whom would you suggest?
[14:02] ---
    Not one of the Akatsuki came
    from my village!
[14:07] ---
    This important post requires trust!
    I should be the one to...
[14:11] ---
    I cannot agree to that.
[14:13] ---
    What?!
[14:22] ---
    I am well aware that passion
    and strength are essential
[14:27] ---
    in bringing the strong together.
[14:30] ---
    But someone like you,
[14:32] ---
    who lets his emotions rule
    his use of power,
[14:34] ---
    would send the Allied Forces into
    disarray like the top of that desk.
[14:42] ---
    I am simply making
    an objective, rational observation
[14:44] ---
    as a representative of
    a neutral nation.
[14:48] ---
    Lord Kazekage is much
    too young to wield such power.
[14:52] ---
    He does not yet have
    much pull with nations.
[14:55] ---
    His title of Kazekage alone
    is inadequate.
[14:59] ---
    Lord Tsuchikage, on the other hand,
    is too advanced in years
[15:02] ---
    and gives the impression of
    one whose power has waned.
[15:04] ---
    And, he used the Akatsuki too much.
[15:07] ---
    He is lacking in trust the most.
[15:10] ---
    Lady Mizukage's Hidden Mist is said
    to be the birthplace of the Akatsuki.
[15:16] ---
    There is the fear that inside information
    will be leaked to them.
[15:19] ---
    That there are spies.
[15:23] ---
    We do not know why the Akatsuki
    is gathering the Tailed Beasts
[15:26] ---
    or what they intend to do with them.
[15:28] ---
    But we cannot let them
    have the Nine-Tails.
[15:33] ---
    The Nine-Tails belongs
    to the Hidden Leaf.
[15:35] ---
    Hence, I believe that the Hokage
    is the logical choice.
[15:39] ---
    First of all, I refuse to recognize
    an Allied Shinobi Force
[15:43] ---
    that would compromise
    the security of my village!
[15:47] ---
    Something about this
    just doesn't feel right.
[15:50] ---
    I'd better check.
[15:54] ---
    Chojuro...
[15:56] ---
    Be prepared for battle.
[15:58] ---
    Huh?
[16:02] ---
    Byakugan!
[16:07] ---
    Th-This is...
[16:12] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
[16:14] ---
    That right shoulder and right arm...
[16:17] ---
    and the color of the right eye...
[16:26] ---
    There's no mistake.
[16:28] ---
    It's the color of Shisui Uchiha's eye!
[16:32] ---
    He was a formidable foe
    that I fought against once.
[16:36] ---
    I'll never forget his color!
[16:43] ---
    Lord Hokage!
[16:45] ---
    I ask that you show us your right eye
    underneath that bandage.
[16:49] ---
    What's going on?
[16:52] ---
    I believe you stole
    Shisui Uchiha's eye
[16:55] ---
    and then transplanted it into
    your right eye, did you not?
[16:58] ---
    Shisui...Uchiha?
[17:04] ---
    The man praised alongside
    Itachi Uchiha
[17:06] ---
    as the Uchiha's most gifted in
    the use of the Ocular Jutsu?
[17:10] ---
    Yes.
[17:12] ---
    Shisui's particular Ocular Jutsu
    allowed him to enter others' minds,
[17:15] ---
    make them go through phantom
    experiences and manipulate them.
[17:22] ---
    The victim would be totally unaware
    that he was being manipulated.
[17:25] ---
    It was an Ocular Jutsu of
    the highest degree!
[17:28] ---
    Hokage! Don't tell me Mifune
    is being...
[17:32] ---
    But...that's...
[17:36] ---
    My right eye is also
    a precious spoil of war,
[17:39] ---
    from a battle against the Hyuga.
[17:41] ---
    So like you, I am not really one
    to talk.
[17:45] ---
    But you cannot fool my eye,
[17:47] ---
    which undid the genjutsu cast
    upon the Fourth Mizukage!
[17:51] ---
    And...
[17:53] ---
    Why you!
[18:01] ---
    Hello!
[18:17] ---
    One problem after another!
    Now what?!
[18:20] ---
    Is it the Akatsuki?!
[18:23] ---
    It seems so.
[18:24] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha has snuck in!
[18:27] ---
    Now, where could he be hiding?!
[18:34] ---
    What?!
[18:37] ---
    Sasuke?
[18:38] ---
    - Him?
    - What's he doing here?!
[18:40] ---
    The one with the Sharingan?
[18:42] ---
    The one who took down
    Haku and Zabuza?
[18:46] ---
    Who's he?
[18:48] ---
    A member of the Akatsuki.
[18:51] ---
    I believe his name was...
[18:53] ---
    Let's all go and look for Sasuke!
[18:58] ---
    Yeah!
[19:05] ---
    Where is Sasuke Uchiha?!
[19:09] ---
    Answer me!
[19:13] ---
    Th-This guy is super fast!
[19:20] ---
    If you refuse to answer,
    I will show you no mercy!
[19:26] ---
    Sasuke...
[19:32] ---
    Where are you now?
    And what are you thinking?
[19:39] ---
    Do you think about me, Sakura,
    or Kakashi Sensei...even a little?
[19:55] ---
    You brought down your
    brother Itachi.
[19:58] ---
    You got your revenge.
[20:00] ---
    Are you relieved?
[20:02] ---
    Or are you in more pain?
[20:16] ---
    Sasuke... Why won't you come home
    to the Leaf Village?
[20:28] ---
    Has hatred consumed
    you completely, Sasuke?
[20:32] ---
    Have you really turned into
    a mere criminal?
[20:45] ---
    Now I'm starting to lose sight
    of who you are.
[20:52] ---
    Hey...
[20:56] ---
    How about we talk,
    Naruto Uzumaki?
[22:37] ---
    This is bad.
    
    
[22:38] ---
    What is it, Karin?
    
    
[22:39] ---
    The Samurai's movements have
    suddenly become flurried.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    I think they're looking for us!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    What?! But we didn't do anything
    to be spotted.
    
    
[22:47] ---
    Must be the doing of that guy Zetsu,
    who disappeared.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    That bastard...
    I'll get him for this.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    There's too many of them!
    They'll find us in no time.
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Racing Lightning"
    
    
[22:59] ---
    I'm very irritated
    right now.
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
