**[00:06] ---**
Damn it!
**[00:07] ---**
He's so insensitive!
**[00:10] ---**
Hey, come on.
**[00:11] ---**
Should you be fighting
with your dad
**[00:13] ---**
when the Great Ninja War's
about to start?
**[00:17] ---**
But…
**[00:21] ---**
*I'm coming in, Ino.*
**[00:26] ---**
*You're so stupid, Dad!*
**[00:34] ---**
*So, what do you want?*
**[00:37] ---**
*Well, you seem so*
*preoccupied lately.*
**[00:41] ---**
*So I was wondering…*
**[00:43] ---**
*if you wanted to,*
*you could talk to me.*
**[00:46] ---**
*There's nothing.*
**[00:50] ---**
*I'm not completely clueless*
*to what you're going through.*
**[00:53] ---**
*You're a young woman now.*
**[00:55] ---**
*What's that supposed to mean?*
**[00:57] ---**
*So which one did you pick?*
**[01:00] ---**
*So is it Shikamaru or Choji?*
**[01:03] ---**
*Who did you decide*
*to go out with?*
**[01:07] ---**
Why should I go out
with you guys?
**[01:10] ---**
And most of all,
**[01:12] ---**
he has the nerve to enter
a lady's room without knocking first!
**[01:15] ---**
Hey, why are you
taking it out on us?
**[01:20] ---**
Calm down.
**[01:21] ---**
Inoichi is just worried about you.
**[01:24] ---**
Remember,
you did cry a lot over Sasuke.
**[01:30] ---**
So he's not far off the mark.
**[01:41] ---**
That's because it
happened so suddenly.
**[01:44] ---**
Besides, worrying about Sasuke
isn't going to do any good.
**[01:49] ---**
I've decided to leave it
to Sakura and her team.
**[01:52] ---**
*Well, it seems Ino's over it.*
**[01:56] ---**
*With war looming,*
**[01:57] ---**
*our teamwork would have suffered
*if she wasn't focused.*
**[02:00] ---**
*I guess Ino's going to be okay.*
**[02:04] ---**
Hey, Choji, are you…
**[02:05] ---**
You're to blame!
**[02:07] ---**
You started it!
**[02:09] ---**
H-Hey!
**[02:11] ---**
You're the one who
complained first!
**[02:13] ---**
Stop it!
Just what is going on here?
**[02:17] ---**
Stay out of this, you fat—
**[02:21] ---**
My body is moving on its own!
**[02:29] ---**
Shadow Possession Jutsu
complete.
**[02:32] ---**
You shouldn't be fighting
**[02:33] ---**
when the village is in
the situation that it is…
**[02:36] ---**
But he…
**[02:38] ---**
No "buts"!
**[02:39] ---**
You'll never be popular
with the girls
**[02:41] ---**
if you argue over small things.
**[02:45] ---**
– O-Okay.
– O-Okay.
**[02:47] ---**
Now go over there
and play nicely.
**[02:50] ---**
– Okay.
– Okay.
**[02:55] ---**
As usual,
that was perfect teamwork.
**[03:00] ---**
Aren't you?
**[03:03] ---**
Umm…who is he?
**[03:06] ---**
Kosuke, right?
**[03:09] ---**
He's been a genin for fifty years.
**[03:11] ---**
Kosuke is also known as
the Hidden Leaf's strongest genin.
**[03:15] ---**
We've met him before.
**[03:17] ---**
Really?
**[03:19] ---**
Oh yeah!
When we were still genin.
**[03:22] ---**
Yes. I was much obliged
to you back then!
**[04:57] ---**
*The Legendary*
*Ino-Shika-Cho Trio*
**[05:03] ---**
*If this Intel will spare*
*my comrades in the village from danger*
**[05:07] ---**
*I will gladly give up my life.*
**[05:09] ---**
*I must do everything I can*
**[05:11] ---**
*to deliver this scroll*
*to the Hidden Leaf.*
**[05:15] ---**
I won't let you escape!
**[05:25] ---**
No one has ever escaped
the clutches of the three brothers.
**[05:29] ---**
We won't let you get away.
**[05:31] ---**
Big Brother,
aren't we going after him?
**[05:34] ---**
What an interesting old man.
**[05:36] ---**
Iwaji, Iwazo…
**[05:38] ---**
That's just a Substitution.
**[05:45] ---**
*He has sharp eyes.*
**[05:47] ---**
Don't underestimate me,
old man.
**[05:49] ---**
*He's fast too.*
**[05:52] ---**
We won't let you go!
**[05:53] ---**
Earth Style: Earth Hold!
**[05:58] ---**
I said, we won't let you escape!
**[06:00] ---**
*He has considerable strength too.*
**[06:03] ---**
You're wasting my time, old man!
**[06:06] ---**
Trying to steal Intel from
the three of us, huh?
**[06:10] ---**
Well, we'll return the favor
**[06:11] ---**
and make you tell us
everything about your village.
**[06:15] ---**
*My enemy has*
*no vulnerabilities.*
**[06:17] ---**
*I guess my life will end*
*on this moonlit night.*
**[06:27] ---**
Reinforcements?
**[06:39] ---**
What is that?!
**[06:42] ---**
My body just…
**[06:49] ---**
*Shadow Possession Jutsu…*
*complete!*
**[06:52] ---**
Ino!
**[06:54] ---**
Mind Transfer Jutsu!
**[06:56] ---**
Hey! This is not the time
to joke around.
**[07:04] ---**
You men have some nerve
**[07:06] ---**
attacking our comrade
from the Hidden Leaf!
**[07:08] ---**
"You men?"
**[07:13] ---**
Well, it's payback time!
**[07:17] ---**
Are you turning on us,
Big Brother?
**[07:18] ---**
You too?!
**[07:20] ---**
Get ready!
**[07:25] ---**
O-Oh, if it isn't…
**[07:28] ---**
It's over.
**[07:31] ---**
You can release your jutsu, Ino.
**[07:36] ---**
What the hell is going on?
**[07:38] ---**
This is the Hidden Leaf's Secret
coordinated ninjutsu formation…
**[07:43] ---**
Ino-Shika-Cho!
**[07:51] ---**
All right! Mission accomplished!
**[07:54] ---**
Your formation today
was spot on, guys!
**[07:57] ---**
Your training is paying off.
**[08:07] ---**
Are you all right?
**[08:09] ---**
Whatever the reason,
**[08:11] ---**
going off on a solo mission
is too reckless.
**[08:13] ---**
I never expected to be rescued twice
by the Ino-Shika-Cho formation.
**[08:24] ---**
That's right.
**[08:25] ---**
You're Kosuke, the person we
rescued back when we were genin.
**[08:28] ---**
Yes. I'm very happy
you remembered.
**[08:32] ---**
I just remembered too, but…
**[08:35] ---**
You said something
interesting back then.
**[08:41] ---**
You said you had been saved twice
by Ino-Shika-Cho's formation.
**[08:45] ---**
Did we rescue him twice?
**[08:47] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[08:53] ---**
My life was saved twice
by Ino-Shika-Cho.
**[09:03] ---**
Yes.
**[09:04] ---**
It was the day before the destruction
of the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[09:09] ---**
It was late at night,
**[09:11] ---**
but the village was
abuzz with excitement
**[09:12] ---**
for the next day's festivities.
**[09:24] ---**
That smells delicious, Kosuke.
**[09:27] ---**
Am I intruding?
**[09:31] ---**
If you don't mind a hotpot stew
made by an old man,
**[09:33] ---**
please join me, Lord Third.
**[09:37] ---**
With pleasure.
**[09:40] ---**
Tomorrow is the main portion
of the Chunin Exam.
**[09:44] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[09:59] ---**
It's so delicious!
**[10:03] ---**
I'm only good at things like this.
**[10:06] ---**
What are you saying?
**[10:08] ---**
The only enjoyable part of a mission
is sitting down to eat.
**[10:15] ---**
Many specifically request you
to be on their team.
**[10:23] ---**
No matter how risky the mission,
if you so order me…
**[10:30] ---**
Do not take your life so lightly.
**[10:35] ---**
Thank you for the food.
**[10:38] ---**
It was mighty delicious.
**[10:42] ---**
By the way, Kosuke…
**[10:45] ---**
Will you accept one mission?
**[10:49] ---**
The Chunin Exam is
an opportunity to check
**[10:51] ---**
the power balance
between the villages,
**[10:54] ---**
so some mutual distrust
is to be expected.
**[11:00] ---**
But I just feel so uneasy this time.
**[11:04] ---**
Hopefully,
it's just my imagination.
**[11:18] ---**
A message from
the Third Hokage?
**[11:20] ---**
Choza!
**[11:21] ---**
Not so loud!
**[11:23] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[11:28] ---**
So what did Lord Hokage say?
**[11:30] ---**
It is too early in the season for
the leaves to be dancing in the air.
**[11:33] ---**
He said you would understand.
**[11:38] ---**
Message received.
**[11:46] ---**
*A special code*
*between Sarutobi Clan*
**[11:48] ---**
*and their three houses, huh?*
**[11:52] ---**
*Impossible?!*
**[12:16] ---**
Leaf Ninja Art!
**[12:26] ---**
Yanagi!
**[12:29] ---**
Which enemy
infiltrated the village?
**[12:37] ---**
Expansion Jutsu!
**[12:47] ---**
M-My body…
**[12:50] ---**
Is this your first encounter with
the Hidden Leaf's Secret…
**[12:53] ---**
Shadow Paralysis Jutsu?
**[12:56] ---**
Then take this one too!
**[12:58] ---**
The Hidden Leaf's Secret…
**[13:00] ---**
Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
**[13:05] ---**
Mind Destruction Jutsu.
**[13:09] ---**
Stop! What's wrong?!
**[13:12] ---**
I can't control my body!
**[13:18] ---**
This brings back old memories!
**[13:20] ---**
It's a reunion of
the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio.
**[13:24] ---**
I am also a shinobi
of the Hidden Leaf.
**[13:26] ---**
I may not be skilled,
**[13:27] ---**
but I will gladly give up my life
for the sake of the village.
**[13:36] ---**
I won't allow you to ravage
the Hidden Leaf Village any further!
**[13:39] ---**
I will sacrifice this old body,
**[13:40] ---**
and take as many fools
as I can with me!
**[13:45] ---**
Kosuke…
**[13:47] ---**
He charged right into the enemy.
**[13:50] ---**
Are you going to
let him go, Shikaku?
**[13:51] ---**
Let's do it!
**[13:53] ---**
You mean,
the Ino-Shika-Cho Formation?
**[13:55] ---**
I hope you haven't forgotten it.
**[13:59] ---**
If I forgot it,
**[14:00] ---**
I don't deserve to wear the earring that
represents our oath of brotherhood!
**[14:04] ---**
That's true.
**[14:06] ---**
Let's do it!
**[14:07] ---**
All right!
**[14:28] ---**
You always make
good shadows for me.
**[14:42] ---**
Ten…twenty…
**[14:46] ---**
Thirty-three…
**[14:50] ---**
Shadow Stitching Jutsu!
**[15:08] ---**
Black Spider Lily!
**[15:10] ---**
Deliver the finishing blow.
**[15:12] ---**
Mind Destruction Dance Jutsu!
**[15:21] ---**
Damn it.
**[15:22] ---**
I never want to face
you guys in a fight.
**[15:26] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[15:31] ---**
Are you all right, Kosuke?
**[15:40] ---**
Now then…
**[15:41] ---**
Let's move on to the next area!
**[15:43] ---**
Shikaku, Inoichi.
**[15:52] ---**
As expected of the Hidden Leaf's
most powerful
**[15:54] ---**
Secret Ninjutsu Formation,
Ino-Shika-Cho!
**[15:57] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[15:59] ---**
Ino…Shika…Cho…
**[16:02] ---**
Mind Destruction Jutsu!
**[16:10] ---**
Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!
**[16:18] ---**
Expansion Jutsu!
**[16:40] ---**
The way you battle
has such depth.
**[16:43] ---**
You overwhelm your opponents while
instilling courage in your comrades.
**[16:47] ---**
A splendid formation that transforms
your comrades' fears into bravery.
**[16:51] ---**
The power of your experience,
judgment and most of all, your faith
**[16:55] ---**
is magnificent!
**[17:00] ---**
It's nothing like that, Kosuke.
**[17:03] ---**
We're just stuck with each other,
whether we like it or not.
**[17:05] ---**
Yeah, yeah. Don't tell anyone.
**[17:08] ---**
We just don't want to look bad
in the front of our kids
**[17:11] ---**
since we all live in
the same village. Right?
**[17:18] ---**
Huh?
**[17:20] ---**
Well, in any case, our kids will
surpass us in no time at all.
**[17:26] ---**
The seedlings of
the Hidden Leaf Village
**[17:27] ---**
are growing soundly.
**[17:46] ---**
I survived once again…huh?
**[17:50] ---**
Anyway…
**[17:53] ---**
it's going to be such a pleasure
to watch the seedlings of the Leaf
**[17:56] ---**
grow into giant trees.
**[18:03] ---**
Our dads fought a battle like that?
**[18:06] ---**
Our dads are amazing.
**[18:09] ---**
And here, I thought our formation
had gotten much better.
**[18:15] ---**
Compared to our dads,
we still have a ways to go.
**[18:27] ---**
If you don't mind my saying,
a shinobi isn't made in a day.
**[18:33] ---**
I look forward to
your Ino-Shika-Cho formation
**[18:36] ---**
when you have reached maturity.
**[18:41] ---**
I should be more careful,
**[18:43] ---**
so you don't have to
come to my rescue again.
**[18:55] ---**
Well, our dads have their thing,
and we have our own thing.
**[19:00] ---**
No sense in getting
worked up over this.
**[19:02] ---**
You're right.
**[19:08] ---**
*I think I'm all grown up,*
**[19:10] ---**
*but I guess in my dad's eyes,*
*I'm still a just a child.*
**[19:14] ---**
*It's a fact that we haven't*
*reached our dads' level.*
**[19:20] ---**
*We have to think that the enemy*
*is stronger than them.*
**[19:24] ---**
*Which means,*
*this upcoming war is…*
**[19:30] ---**
*I wonder what kind of*
*enemy we'll face.*
**[19:39] ---**
From the time
when we were genin,
**[19:41] ---**
all we thought about
was running away.
**[19:45] ---**
You're right.
**[19:46] ---**
We were always scared and
looked for the easy way out.
**[19:50] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[19:52] ---**
If we put a positive spin on it,
**[19:54] ---**
you could say we really
knew ourselves well.
**[19:57] ---**
That's right. We're weak!
**[20:01] ---**
That's why we're always
thinking about how to stay alive,
**[20:06] ---**
about all the ways to
beat a stronger enemy,
**[20:08] ---**
and about what
the best strategy is.
**[20:11] ---**
I'm counting on you, Ino, Choji!
**[20:15] ---**
We may not match up to our dads,
but we won't be going to war alone!
**[20:20] ---**
So let's do what we can,
in the best way possible!
**[20:24] ---**
The only thing we can do is to do
our best as the people we are now.
**[20:28] ---**
*Until now, we've stayed together*
*and done all right.*
**[20:33] ---**
*So even with this next war…*
**[20:36] ---**
We'll be okay, right?
**[20:38] ---**
What? Y-Yeah.
**[20:40] ---**
We'll be fine, just fine!
**[20:42] ---**
Okay, guys,
let's get into the spirit!
**[20:44] ---**
Let's go!
**[20:47] ---**
– Right!
– Right!
**[22:39] ---**
Damn it, what a horrible morning!
**[22:42] ---**
My dreams were bad,
**[22:43] ---**
and everyone is saying
Naruto this, Naruto that.
**[22:45] ---**
That can't be helped.
**[22:46] ---**
Naruto is the village hero right now.
**[22:48] ---**
When we were kids he was
the worst in our class.
**[22:50] ---**
During the Chunin exam,
if it weren't for his fart, I would've…
**[22:53] ---**
There are no "ifs" in battle.
That's because…
**[22:56] ---**
You're so annoying!
Just you watch!
**[22:57] ---**
I'll catch up to him!
**[23:00] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Kiba's Determination"
**[23:03] ---**
I won't be left behind!
**[23:06] ---**
Tune in again!
