[00:07] ---
    This will be a war unlike
    any other we've had.
[00:12] ---
    Shikamaru, I need you in charge
    of the front lines.
[00:17] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:18] ---
    I'm counting on your sharp intellect.
[00:48] ---
    Shikamaru, it's your turn.
[00:55] ---
    Your mind seems somewhere else.
    Are you scared?
[01:03] ---
    It's not that I'm scared.
[01:05] ---
    If I make one bad decision,
    my comrades will die.
[01:08] ---
    So what do I do?
    What will I be able to do?
[01:13] ---
    I have doubts.
[01:18] ---
    You are stuck in Repetition too.
[01:27] ---
    Repetition…
[01:28] ---
    When each player has the same pieces
    positioned on the shogi board,
[01:31] ---
    and the same pieces in hand,
[01:34] ---
    four repeated moves will
    force a draw.
[01:41] ---
    Don't lose sight of your goal.
    Go see Naruto.
[01:48] ---
    There is a supply mission.
[01:52] ---
    It will be a nice diversion for you.
[01:55] ---
    You should go.
    I will recommend you.
[03:32] ---
    The Closed Route
    
    
[04:00] ---
    It's so quiet here.
[04:03] ---
    Yeah.
[04:05] ---
    The large coral reefs
    around Mokuzu Island function
[04:08] ---
    as a natural breakwater.
[04:10] ---
    So the waves are very gentle
    and make it an ideal harbor.
[04:13] ---
    Yes, this sea is like a mirror.
[04:19] ---
    Having said that…
[04:25] ---
    MOKUZU RAMEN
[04:37] ---
    We shouldn't linger here too long.
[04:51] ---
    Hard-a-port!
[05:07] ---
    Damn it! Tasting local delicacies
    is part of the fun of traveling!
[05:12] ---
    The sun's gonna set real soon!
[05:15] ---
    Why do we have to set sail
    without even docking?
[05:19] ---
    He may be the village hero,
    but he's still the same old Naruto.
[05:25] ---
    How can you be so carefree
    at a time like this?
[05:28] ---
    Did you say something?
[05:30] ---
    Forget it. It doesn't concern you.
[05:36] ---
    In any case, why were you guys
    waiting at Mokuzu Island?
[05:40] ---
    Replenishing supplies.
[05:42] ---
    Supplies?
[05:46] ---
    So where are they?
[05:48] ---
    Here!
[05:57] ---
    H-Help.
[06:01] ---
    What are you, a walking supply store?
[06:09] ---
    Are you all right?
[06:12] ---
    Don't just stand there watching.
    Help me.
[06:19] ---
    I didn't find the answer by
    seeing Naruto either, Dad.
[06:44] ---
    The fog has gotten thick.
    Be careful.
[06:47] ---
    Don't worry.
    We have a compass.
[06:52] ---
    Huh?
[06:54] ---
    That's strange.
[06:56] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:08] ---
    Do I really have the power right now
    to command everyone
[07:11] ---
    and hold their lives in my hands?
[07:14] ---
    What should I do?
[07:18] ---
    What's the matter, Shikamaru?
[07:23] ---
    Oh…it's nothing.
[07:29] ---
    By the way, where's Guy Sensei?
[07:31] ---
    I don't see him.
[07:33] ---
    Well, he's been seasick
    from the time we set out.
[07:36] ---
    Even now, he's lying down
    in his quarters.
[07:41] ---
    Good morning, everyone!
[07:44] ---
    Guy Sensei, you look fine.
[07:47] ---
    Shikamaru, you're here!
[07:49] ---
    The ship's moving.
    Are you all right?
[07:52] ---
    Yes, I don't feel seasick at all today.
[07:56] ---
    What a great way to wake up.
[08:22] ---
    The fog is so dense,
    I can't see a thing.
[08:26] ---
    Did you just notice that?
[08:28] ---
    Seasickness has made you dense—
[08:34] ---
    Watch out!
[08:35] ---
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
[08:42] ---
    That was a close call.
[08:44] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
[08:52] ---
    Hey, there are rocks all
    around the ship!
[08:55] ---
    There shouldn't be any
    reef systems around here.
[09:04] ---
    Hold the rudder steady.
[09:06] ---
    It's useless.
    I can't avoid the rocks!
[09:08] ---
    You can leave it to me, Might Guy…
    The Leaf's Burning Youth!
[09:15] ---
    Chesto!
[09:17] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[09:20] ---
    He's going wild.
[09:22] ---
    But that's so like Guy Sensei.
[09:30] ---
    Bushy Brow Sensei,
    behind you! Behind you!
[09:33] ---
    Huh?!
[09:42] ---
    A rock this size is nothing!
[09:58] ---
    Damn it.
    Isn't there something we can do?
[10:02] ---
    Yamato!
[10:03] ---
    I know!
[10:07] ---
    Wood Style!
[10:32] ---
    Are you all right,
    Captain Yamato?!
[10:34] ---
    Yeah.
[10:43] ---
    Look at that!
[10:54] ---
    It's a huge whirlpool!
[10:57] ---
    What?!
[10:59] ---
    This ship doesn't have a chance
    if it's pulled into that thing!
[11:02] ---
    This isn't good.
    The rudder's not working!
[11:19] ---
    What are we gonna do?!
[11:22] ---
    Naruto, use Massive Rasengan!
[11:24] ---
    What? Massive Rasengan?
[11:27] ---
    Never mind! Just hurl one in there!
[11:29] ---
    O-Okay!
[11:39] ---
    Captain Yamato, make sure
    you pull me back.
[11:42] ---
    You got it.
[11:49] ---
    Now!
[12:08] ---
    They're a tough bunch.
[12:15] ---
    Are we okay now?
[12:23] ---
    What the—?!
[12:27] ---
    Not again?
[12:31] ---
    Damn it! I'll keep pulverizing
    every single one of them!
[12:36] ---
    Chesto!
[12:49] ---
    What?!
[12:59] ---
    Naruto!
[13:01] ---
    Right!
[13:12] ---
    What is this?
    What is going on?
[13:16] ---
    This is too weird to be
    a natural phenomenon.
[13:19] ---
    Our mission is to make sure Naruto
    gets to the Land of Lightning safely.
[13:24] ---
    If this is a trick in order
    to abduct Naruto,
[13:27] ---
    we have to identify the enemy.
[13:39] ---
    What?!
[13:59] ---
    This is the third time.
[14:01] ---
    Is the enemy trying to make
    Naruto and the others
[14:03] ---
    use up their chakra?
[14:04] ---
    But even now, I sense
    no presence of the enemy.
[14:09] ---
    Could this be a genjutsu?
[14:16] ---
    No, that's the real thing.
[14:18] ---
    Or, it could be
    the Transportation Technique.
[14:22] ---
    Nope.
[14:24] ---
    A shinobi capable of laying down
    a massive spatial barrier like this
[14:27] ---
    wouldn't need to bother forcing us
    to use up our chakra.
[14:31] ---
    I'm all out of chakra.
[14:35] ---
    What?!
[14:41] ---
    This is the fourth time.
[14:45] ---
    Just like the Repetition move.
[14:48] ---
    Guy Sensei…
[14:50] ---
    It's hopeless!
    We've all run out of steam!
[14:52] ---
    I figured as much.
[15:00] ---
    This is a drag, but…
[15:05] ---
    I'm not only one left!
[15:13] ---
    Controlling a vessel
    as heavy as a sailing ship
[15:16] ---
    won't be easy with my jutsu, but…
[15:21] ---
    I have no choice!
[15:24] ---
    Shikamaru, I don't expect
    anything like that from you.
[15:30] ---
    What?
[15:34] ---
    Leave the physical work to me!
[15:36] ---
    Your job is to use your head
    to figure a way out of this!
[15:43] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[15:59] ---
    Damn it. Why was I so impatient?
[16:02] ---
    Naruto is absolutely right.
[16:08] ---
    Okay, let's review everything
    in order.
[16:10] ---
    What happened after
    we left the port?
[16:13] ---
    As soon as we pulled out of port,
    we were surrounded by fog.
[16:17] ---
    We were on the ocean,
    but Guy Sensei didn't get seasick at all.
[16:21] ---
    and the compass became unreliable.
[16:25] ---
    Shortly afterwards,
    we sailed into a reef system that
[16:28] ---
    was not marked on the sea chart
    and a whirlpool appeared.
[16:33] ---
    A whirlpool is caused by
[16:35] ---
    complex terrain on the ocean bottom
    and shifts in sea level.
[16:42] ---
    Damn it!
    Today is a spring tide day!
[16:45] ---
    On top of that, there's only
    a narrow entryway to the bay.
[16:48] ---
    A large amount of water flowing in
    with the spring tide
[16:51] ---
    will easily form a whirlpool.
[16:55] ---
    Guy Sensei didn't get
    seasick because…
[16:57] ---
    It's such a quiet place.
[16:59] ---
    the calm waves of that huge bay
    held the ship steady.
[17:04] ---
    No doubt about it.
[17:05] ---
    There's a huge rock!
[17:07] ---
    Everyone, hold steady!
[17:11] ---
    What's that?!
[17:25] ---
    When did that mark appear?
[17:28] ---
    So that means it's from the ship
    rubbing against that over and over?
[17:32] ---
    Which means…
[17:34] ---
    We've been going around
    this bay in circles!
[17:39] ---
    Rasengan!
[17:47] ---
    I've run out of chakra.
[17:52] ---
    There's another huge whirlpool.
[17:54] ---
    Another one?!
[17:56] ---
    Enough, Naruto. I have an idea.
[17:59] ---
    What are you thinking about?
[18:03] ---
    We'll just sail straight for it
    and get swallowed up.
[18:07] ---
    What?!
[18:08] ---
    What on earth are you
    up to, Shikamaru?!
[18:11] ---
    Tenten, I need to borrow your power.
[18:15] ---
    Huh?
[18:27] ---
    That's what happens
    when you get caught
[18:29] ---
    in the Devil's Water Trap
    of Mokuzu Island!
[18:35] ---
    They're dead at last!
[18:37] ---
    Their ship has been swallowed up
    by the giant whirlpool
[18:39] ---
    and sent to the bottom of the sea!
[18:41] ---
    All right! Operation over!
[18:44] ---
    – Yay!
    – Hurrah!
[18:53] ---
    We have a huge catch today!
[18:55] ---
    Let's go get our shinobi treasure!
[18:57] ---
    – Yeah!
    – Yeah!
[19:05] ---
    Hey! There's no debris from
    the ship floating around!
[19:09] ---
    What? Maybe the treasure was so heavy,
    that everything sank.
[19:14] ---
    So every one of you on
    Mozuku Island is a thief?
[19:19] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[19:22] ---
    If you want our treasure so much,
    try and take it away.
[19:34] ---
    Don't be scared!
[19:35] ---
    They should be completely exhausted
    from dodging the traps!
[19:38] ---
    Don't underestimate shinobi.
[19:40] ---
    – Tenten!
    – Right!
[20:03] ---
    For a trap set by amateurs,
    it was pretty clever.
[20:18] ---
    Damn it! I'm seasick again!
[20:24] ---
    Shikamaru!
[20:26] ---
    Your sharp intellect
    is pretty reliable, after all.
[20:37] ---
    I'm glad I met you.
[20:39] ---
    Huh? What?
[20:41] ---
    Nothing. Just forget it.
[20:46] ---
    What, what? Tell me.
[20:48] ---
    What is it?
[20:50] ---
    Shut up, will you?
    You're such a pest!
[20:53] ---
    What? A pest?!
    What do you mean by that?
[20:57] ---
    Don't just sigh! Tell me!
[22:36] ---
    So Barbe-Q's reopening?
    
    
[22:39] ---
    Don't worry! I've already
    made reservations!
    
    
[22:40] ---
    Beef tongue with salt,
    here I come!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    They have a special ladies combo
    on the new menu!
    
    
[22:45] ---
    It's a good deal!
    I just can't resist good deals!
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Frankly, I just love offal!
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Hey everyone, did you decide
    on your drinks?
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Excuse me!
    We're ready to order!
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Girls' Get-Together"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    I'm going to eat my fill today!
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
