**[00:18] ---**
That's his real body.
**[00:20] ---**
After twenty years,
what say we face each other?
**[00:46] ---**
What took you so long?
**[00:48] ---**
But I flew back as quickly
as I could.
**[00:50] ---**
More to the point,
**[00:51] ---**
you took too long to send over
a substitute border guard.
**[00:55] ---**
Your planning was bad.
**[00:58] ---**
That's no way to show
your appreciation.
**[01:00] ---**
I carried out your selfish request
despite recovering from an illness.
**[01:10] ---**
Well... Shall we get going?
**[01:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:14] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[01:45] ---**
*It can still move?!*
**[02:05] ---**
As I thought.
**[02:07] ---**
Just what I'd expect
from my old granny.
**[02:10] ---**
No wonder this little girl was able
to dodge my hidden weapons.
**[02:24] ---**
After all, the old lady who can see
past my attacks was controlling
**[02:29] ---**
the little girl with Chakra threads
used for the Puppet Master Jutsu.
**[02:33] ---**
*He found out.*
**[02:35] ---**
What's more, you were so kind as to
attach threads of Chakra to Hiruko's tail.
**[02:43] ---**
But to think that I'd notice it
**[02:45] ---**
after the tail's motion had been
brought to a halt...
**[02:49] ---**
It was when you first attacked
with the Kunai Knife, wasn't it?
**[02:56] ---**
Threads of Chakra attached
to the Kunai Knife
**[02:59] ---**
latched onto the tail
when it repelled the Kunai Knife.
**[03:09] ---**
I suppressed my Chakra as much
as possible so as not to be seen,
**[03:13] ---**
and yet you still figured it out.
**[03:15] ---**
I'm amazed.
**[03:19] ---**
But of course.
**[03:21] ---**
After all, the one who hammered
the principles of puppetry into me was...
**[03:25] ---**
none other than you.
**[03:27] ---**
Yes.
**[03:29] ---**
But the show ends today.
**[03:33] ---**
That is my intention as well.
**[03:41] ---**
Well then, will things proceed
as simply as that, I wonder...
**[03:46] ---**
Granny Chiyo...?
**[03:52] ---**
Granny Chiyo?
**[03:56] ---**
Is he... Is he Sasori?
**[04:00] ---**
What is going on?
**[04:03] ---**
*He's just as he was before...
*He hasn't aged a bit.*
**[04:11] ---**
*What's going on?!*
**[04:13] ---**
*I was told Sasori broke off from
*the Hidden Sand 20 years ago...*
**[04:18] ---**
*There's no way that
*he could be this young.*
**[06:05] ---**
*Sasori's Real Face
*
**[06:11] ---**
Damn!
**[06:16] ---**
*The sound that I heard coming
*from inside just a while ago...*
**[06:19] ---**
*There's no doubt that
*the battle has already begun.*
**[06:22] ---**
*I'd like to get a grasp
*of the situation, but...*
**[06:28] ---**
You! Return Gaara to us!
**[06:32] ---**
*It's only a matter of time*
**[06:34] ---**
*before my man Sasori does away
*with the group inside.*
**[06:44] ---**
*If my man comes out,*
**[06:46] ---**
*then the whole point of using this one
*to draw out the Jinchuriki will be lost.*
**[06:55] ---**
You jerk!
I won't let you get away.
**[06:59] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[07:01] ---**
Naruto, wait a minute!
**[07:03] ---**
Kakashi Sensei,
you go look after Sakura!
**[07:07] ---**
Good grief.
**[07:18] ---**
Guy, how are conditions
over there?
**[07:32] ---**
Sorry Kakashi, it looks like things
will still take a while over here.
**[07:48] ---**
Rotation.
**[07:53] ---**
If detaining someone is your objective,
there's no better way than this.
**[08:10] ---**
If your opponent has exactly
the same abilities as you do...
**[08:17] ---**
It probably won't be that easy
to bring matters to a close.
**[08:26] ---**
Splendid move, Mr. Imposter.
**[08:30] ---**
Damn... Looks like it's impossible to
expect back-up for a while.
**[08:37] ---**
*Sakura, Granny Chiyo,
*hold down the fort a bit longer!*
**[08:44] ---**
There's no way I'm going
to let you get away!
**[08:50] ---**
They're coming, aren't they?
**[08:53] ---**
Better keep up!
**[08:58] ---**
And then,
I will settle matters properly...
**[09:26] ---**
Stop!
**[09:29] ---**
What's wrong, Kankuro?
**[09:32] ---**
We'll rest here.
**[09:34] ---**
What?! What do you think
you're doing, Kankuro?!
**[09:37] ---**
There's no time to rest easy
in a situation like this!
**[09:40] ---**
Don't be so impatient...
That's not like you, Sis.
**[09:49] ---**
I'm sorry, Miss Temari.
**[09:52] ---**
Just a little while...
If we rest just a little while,
**[09:53] ---**
we'll be able to start
running again right away!
**[09:55] ---**
Please let us rest a little while.
**[09:59] ---**
You guys have no discipline.
And you call yourselves Shinobi?!
**[10:03] ---**
Stop being unreasonable.
**[10:05] ---**
These guys took turns guarding
the border for a whole day.
**[10:09] ---**
And no sooner had they returned
to the village,
**[10:12] ---**
they had to run all the way here...
**[10:14] ---**
However top-notch Shinobi they may be,
**[10:16] ---**
you can't force them to do
more than this.
**[10:19] ---**
No, we're okay!
**[10:21] ---**
We can't be resting while
Lord Gaara is in trouble!
**[10:27] ---**
We should do what we can
for the Kazekage's sake!
**[10:31] ---**
Yes, for the Kazekage's sake!
**[10:34] ---**
Miss Temari! Let's head out.
**[10:37] ---**
You guys! That's the spirit!
**[10:40] ---**
Now, now,
you shouldn't get so fired up about it.
**[10:43] ---**
Ebizo...
**[10:45] ---**
A Shinobi should never lose
his composure under any circumstances.
**[10:51] ---**
Forgetting that and pursuing
the enemy too far all by himself
**[10:54] ---**
was the cause of
Kankuro's recent failure, wasn't it?
**[11:00] ---**
Besides, in your current state,
**[11:02] ---**
all of you are not being aware
of your surroundings.
**[11:04] ---**
What do you mean by that...?
**[11:07] ---**
Well, look at that.
**[11:10] ---**
Th-That...?!
**[11:14] ---**
That must be the remains of the battle
that Akatsuki fought with the Leaf.
**[11:19] ---**
That means...
**[11:20] ---**
Yes. You have to assume that
we have already entered their territory.
**[11:28] ---**
There's no telling what kind of traps
they may have set up ahead.
**[11:32] ---**
When you're about to set foot
in such a place,
**[11:36] ---**
you'll be annihilated in no time
if you go dashing in,
**[11:41] ---**
exhausted the way you all are now.
**[11:48] ---**
This is just perfect.
**[11:50] ---**
While you're resting, I'll tell you all
a story about the old days.
**[11:59] ---**
It was long, long ago.
**[12:02] ---**
I'm sure you must
have heard of it...
**[12:06] ---**
The incident of the Third Kazekage.
**[12:10] ---**
The Third...Kazekage?
**[12:12] ---**
Yes... The one before
the previous Kazekage.
**[12:16] ---**
Of all the Kazekage
down through history,
**[12:18] ---**
the Third Kazekage was
said to be the most powerful.
**[12:22] ---**
Then the incident occurred when
someone kidnapped the Kazekage.
**[12:27] ---**
The entire village got all excited
and went out seeking news
**[12:30] ---**
of what had become of
the Third Kazekage...
**[12:32] ---**
Looking back upon it now,
**[12:34] ---**
you would have to say
that they simply lost their cool.
**[12:38] ---**
The village's guard wore thin,
**[12:41] ---**
allowing the enemy to intrude,
and panic ensued.
**[12:45] ---**
If they had dealt with it
a little more coolly at the time,
**[12:50] ---**
the subsequent war
could have been avoided.
**[12:54] ---**
I am painfully aware of how
you all feel right now...
**[12:58] ---**
But...you mustn't repeat
the same mistakes
**[13:02] ---**
that were made back in
the days of the Third Kazekage.
**[13:09] ---**
Ebizo...
**[13:11] ---**
did they ever learn what happened to
the Third Kazekage after that?
**[13:16] ---**
After that, the Anbu Black Ops
continued to investigate in secret,
**[13:21] ---**
but no body was ever found,
**[13:22] ---**
nor any sign that the Kazekage
had been removed...
**[13:48] ---**
What's wrong, Granny Chiyo?
**[13:51] ---**
Are you so filled with emotion
that you cannot speak?
**[13:58] ---**
That's not surprising.
**[13:59] ---**
After all, it's our first reunion
in 20 years.
**[14:05] ---**
Sasori, you...
**[14:06] ---**
While I'm at it,
I'll show you something special.
**[14:14] ---**
It's guaranteed to move you.
**[14:17] ---**
A collection that gave me
a hard time when trying to kill it, but...
**[14:22] ---**
Three?
**[14:23] ---**
That's why I like this best of all.
**[14:36] ---**
Th-That... It couldn't be!
**[14:40] ---**
What? What's wrong?!
**[14:48] ---**
That's...the Third Kazekage...
**[14:53] ---**
What?!
**[14:58] ---**
The Third...Kazekage?
**[15:13] ---**
How about it?
**[15:14] ---**
Doesn't that take you back,
Granny Chiyo?
**[15:18] ---**
Granny Chiyo, the Third Kazekage...?
**[15:21] ---**
How could this have happened?
**[15:24] ---**
Then...
**[15:26] ---**
It was over ten years ago
**[15:29] ---**
that the Third Kazekage suddenly
disappeared from the village.
**[15:35] ---**
We scoured the countryside,
but we were never able to find him.
**[15:39] ---**
He was the most powerful
of all the Kazekage's, but...
**[15:43] ---**
Sasori, you...?
**[15:46] ---**
And so what if I did?
**[15:48] ---**
Do you mean to say that a retired old lady
with one foot in the grave
**[15:51] ---**
is about to avenge
the Third Kazekage?
**[15:54] ---**
Tough luck...
**[15:57] ---**
Retired, with one foot in the grave.
That may be so,
**[15:59] ---**
but it was worth hauling
my heavy behind over here.
**[16:02] ---**
I'd have too many regrets
if I were to die now.
**[16:07] ---**
It's bad enough that my grandson
**[16:09] ---**
got himself mixed up
with a bad crowd...
**[16:12] ---**
but to think that you'd betray the village
**[16:14] ---**
and try to meddle with the Kazekage,
for the third time!
**[16:18] ---**
Third time?
**[16:24] ---**
It was Orochimaru
who killed Gaara's father,
**[16:27] ---**
the Fourth Kazekage, but...
**[16:30] ---**
the one who guided them
was Sasori!
**[16:33] ---**
And this time,
Gaara and even the Third Kazekage...
**[16:39] ---**
Hey, hey, I don't know anything
about the Fourth Kazekage.
**[16:44] ---**
The one who guided them
was my subordinate.
**[16:47] ---**
In that case, it's the same
as if you did it yourself.
**[16:51] ---**
Can you really say that
you were not involved?
**[16:53] ---**
Indeed, I was originally paired with
Orochimaru back at the Akatsuki,
**[16:58] ---**
so I did lots of things but...
**[17:09] ---**
You...
**[17:12] ---**
If you were paired
with Orochimaru...
**[17:17] ---**
then that means you know
about Orochimaru.
**[17:21] ---**
In that case, there're a lot
of questions I need you to answer!
**[17:31] ---**
*Sakura...*
**[17:34] ---**
Unfortunately,
I must take you two out
**[17:37] ---**
and go capture that Jinchuriki.
**[17:42] ---**
I hate to keep people waiting,
**[17:45] ---**
so I have no time
to answer your questions.
**[17:49] ---**
So...
**[17:52] ---**
shall we get right to it?
**[17:56] ---**
*Here it comes!*
**[18:06] ---**
Die!
**[18:11] ---**
*He's fast!*
**[18:21] ---**
*To think that Hiruko's tail
*fell to pieces...*
**[18:24] ---**
You've got some
pretty good moves, Granny Chiyo.
**[18:27] ---**
In that case, how about this?
**[18:35] ---**
Oh no!
**[18:36] ---**
Take this!
**[18:59] ---**
Sakura!
**[19:09] ---**
*Damn. Did I botch it?*
**[19:19] ---**
*Saved!*
**[19:22] ---**
*With the old lady manipulating things,
*it's impossible to get anywhere.*
**[19:29] ---**
In that case...
**[19:38] ---**
Oh, no! Sakura! Hold your breath!
**[19:41] ---**
*Is it poison?!*
**[19:44] ---**
*In this poisonous smoke,
*your movements will be irrelevant.*
**[19:54] ---**
Sakura--!
**[21:39] ---**
*Guy Sensei, this is terrible!*
**[21:40] ---**
*What is it, Lee?!*
**[21:41] ---**
*According to the information
*received just now,*
**[21:43] ---**
*Kakashi Sensei is the star
*of today's Mini Feature!*
**[21:46] ---**
*What?! He gets a juicy deal like that
*while we're down here fighting?!*
**[21:50] ---**
*In that case,*
**[21:51] ---**
*we'll have to take these guys out
*quickly and join the show!*
**[21:54] ---**
*Youth at full power!*
**[21:55] ---**
*No way, we can't make it...*
**[21:56] ---**
*Hard effort will pay off!
*Right, Tenten?*
**[21:58] ---**
*Huh? Where's Tenten?!*
**[22:00] ---**
*She just left all excited,
*saying she got selected as the MC!*
**[22:03] ---**
Next time: "Chiyo's Secret Skills"
*Say what--?! That traitor!*
