[00:05] ---
    Here I go!
[01:48] ---
    Over there, huh?!
[02:33] ---
    Sakura!
[02:35] ---
    Cha!
[03:02] ---
    The Third Kazekage
    
    
    
[04:41] ---
    *That noise just now...
    What happened?
[04:49] ---
    *It sounds like it came from the direction
    of Sakura and Granny Chiyo...
[04:53] ---
    But I've no way of verifying that...
[04:56] ---
    And the radio is out of range now...
[04:58] ---
    I've seriously got to hurry...
[05:05] ---
    *Damn it! We can't make any progress
    just by chasing after him!
[05:09] ---
    Kakashi Sensei! You're too slow!
[05:11] ---
    We'll lose sight of him if
    we don't get a move on.
[05:14] ---
    It'll be okay!
[05:16] ---
    His next target is you, Naruto!
[05:20] ---
    He won't run off so far that
    he shakes us off completely.
[05:24] ---
    Then hurry up and
    tell me how to stop him!
[05:29] ---
    Don't worry. I've got
    several strategies in mind.
[05:33] ---
    I'll need a little bit of time
    to prepare for that!
[05:36] ---
    I can't wait around for that.
[05:38] ---
    I want to save Gaara right away!
[05:42] ---
    I don't know what their strategy is,
[05:44] ---
    *but I'm sure lucky
    the Jinchuriki is so simple-minded.
[05:48] ---
    I'll stir things up so they can't prepare.
[05:52] ---
    *I wonder if they can keep up
    with my speed.
[05:57] ---
    Damn it! Hold it!
[06:01] ---
    Wait, Naruto!
[06:07] ---
    *Sure enough, I guess I can't
    get through to him now...
[06:10] ---
    I have no choice.
[06:11] ---
    I'll quickly finish things off with that...
[07:22] ---
    Guys, did you all...
    hear that noise?
[08:01] ---
    Yeah! Loud and clear.
[08:35] ---
    It sounds like it's coming
    from the enemy hideout...
[09:15] ---
    That noise!
    What in the world is going on?!
[09:20] ---
    Can you see
    what's happening, Neji?
[09:22] ---
    I'm in the middle
    of fighting right now...
[09:27] ---
    So it'll be tough to convey
    anything precisely.
[09:40] ---
    The enemy hideout is collapsing
    at an incredible rate!
[09:51] ---
    Did you say collapse?!
[09:55] ---
    What does that mean?!
[09:57] ---
    Did Sakura and Granny Chiyo win?
[10:00] ---
    Or did they get beaten?
[10:04] ---
    No, I can't say which for sure.
[10:08] ---
    Because...
[10:25] ---
    They're both fighting
    an evenly matched battle.
[10:33] ---
    Did you say evenly matched?
[10:34] ---
    I'd expect no less from Sakura!
[10:39] ---
    I also must not lose!
[11:01] ---
    She's got impressive strength
    for a little girl.
[11:12] ---
    In just this short time,
[11:14] ---
    *she's starting to read
    Sasori's attack patterns.
[11:18] ---
    *So much so, that she can do just fine
    even without my help.
[11:23] ---
    *I never thought she would be
    this good...
[11:28] ---
    She's an impressive girl.
[11:40] ---
    She's got impressive strength
    for a little girl.
[11:51] ---
    In just this short time,
[11:53] ---
    *she's starting to read
    Sasori's attack patterns.
[11:57] ---
    *So much so, that she can do just fine
    even without my help.
[12:02] ---
    *I never thought she would be
    this good...
[12:07] ---
    She's an impressive girl.
[12:45] ---
    *That Tsunade sure has herself
    a good pupil.
[12:54] ---
    Listen up, Sakura.
[12:55] ---
    For Medical Ninja, attack ability is
    of secondary importance.
[12:59] ---
    Do you know why?
[13:01] ---
    Yes!
[13:02] ---
    Medical Ninja play
    a supporting role in the unit.
[13:05] ---
    Comrade support in battle
    is more important
[13:07] ---
    and I think medical ability comes first!
[13:10] ---
    Wrong!
[13:12] ---
    What's most important is the ability
    to dodge an enemy attack.
[13:16] ---
    The ability to dodge...?
[13:17] ---
    A Medical Ninja absolutely must
    never get hit by an enemy attack.
[13:22] ---
    Why is that?
[13:32] ---
    Who's supposed to heal
    the members of the unit
[13:33] ---
    if the Medical Ninja dies?
[13:36] ---
    Now I'm going to attack you
    for real.
[13:39] ---
    This is training for you
    to dodge all of my attacks...
[13:41] ---
    I won't hold back!
[14:26] ---
    *Now I'm going to attack you
    for real.
[14:29] ---
    *This is training for you
    to dodge all of my attacks.
[14:32] ---
    I won't hold back!
    Are you ready?!
[14:35] ---
    Y-Yes!
[14:48] ---
    Don't shut your eyes!
[14:58] ---
    What's the idea shutting your eyes
    in front of an enemy?!
[15:12] ---
    Watch the enemy's movements closely!
[15:15] ---
    Before their attack,
    during their attack, after their attack!
[15:18] ---
    Don't overlook any little movement!
[15:21] ---
    If you're any kind of sorry excuse
    for a Shinobi,
[15:23] ---
    you've probably heard of this.
[15:25] ---
    People each have dominant hands,
    dominant legs and habits.
[15:29] ---
    For many different reasons,
[15:30] ---
    a fixed pattern is revealed
    when they move.
[15:33] ---
    Once a Shinobi becomes
    a Chunin or a Jonin,
[15:35] ---
    they train to reduce those habits
[15:38] ---
    so as not to telegraph that
    pattern to an enemy...
[15:41] ---
    But it's not something that
    can be completely eliminated.
[15:44] ---
    With that, you should be able to see
    an enemy's weakness!
[15:48] ---
    An enemy's weakness...
[15:51] ---
    You have to find that weakness
    as fast as you can!
[15:54] ---
    Then you should be able
    to improve your ability to dodge attack!
[16:02] ---
    *His fingers always move
    before he attacks...
[16:07] ---
    *That's obvious since
    he's controlling the puppet
[16:09] ---
    with the Chakra strings on his fingers...
[16:12] ---
    *But that's the weakness
    of a Puppet Master.
[16:20] ---
    *And I've started to read
    the direction of Sasori's attacks
[16:23] ---
    *with the patterns of his finger
    and arm movements.
[16:26] ---
    She's watching very carefully...
[16:28] ---
    *At this rate,
    this will be too time-consuming...
[16:31] ---
    *I have no choice
    but to use some Chakra.
[16:33] ---
    I guess I'll finish her off with that...
[16:45] ---
    Iron Sand: Unleash!
[16:57] ---
    Its range is huge!
[16:59] ---
    This is not good!
[17:45] ---
    Sakura!
[17:52] ---
    Sakura, are you okay?!
[18:11] ---
    Listen carefully, Sakura...
[18:15] ---
    First, get close to him
[18:17] ---
    *and smash the puppet with
    your incredible strength.
[18:25] ---
    *However, you must dodge
    all of his hidden device attacks.
[18:34] ---
    All of them, perfectly!
[18:40] ---
    You must not even get a scratch.
[18:43] ---
    Poison, right...?
[18:45] ---
    That's right...
[18:47] ---
    *Even a scratch can turn
    into a fatal wound.
[18:57] ---
    She's been poisoned!
[18:59] ---
    Didn't I tell you...
    "That's not all there is"?
[19:03] ---
    As I suspected,
[19:04] ---
    he soaked his Iron Sand
    with poison, huh...?
[19:16] ---
    The poison is starting to take effect...
[19:23] ---
    Soon your body will go numb
    and you won't be able to move.
[19:30] ---
    You'll last three days
    if I leave you be...
[19:33] ---
    But I've no intention of doing that!
[19:44] ---
    You're finished...little girl.
[19:51] ---
    Sakura!
[21:35] ---
    Say, what can you do
    in three minutes?
[21:37] ---
    Oh, I can make instant noodles.
[21:39] ---
    You're too soft.
[21:40] ---
    I can cut green onions
    on top of that!
[21:41] ---
    Then, I can munch on snacks
    on top of that!
[21:43] ---
    Then, I can brush my teeth
    on top of that!
[21:45] ---
    You're being soft.
    If I sleep with my clothes on,
[21:47] ---
    then in three minutes, I can get out of bed
    and head straight to the mission
[21:49] ---
    with a noodle in my hand!
[21:50] ---
    Wait! Don't tell me you plan to do that
    without washing your face first?!
[21:53] ---
    - I always do it that way.
    - Say what?!
[21:54] ---
    Naruto! Brushing your teeth and
    washing your face is a daily etiquette!
[21:57] ---
    What, really?! I didn't know that!
