[00:41] ---
    It seems like there are
    a lot fewer guards around.
[00:46] ---
    We could make a run for it now.
[00:50] ---
    Let's look for Sasuke.
[00:51] ---
    You go on ahead.
    I'm going to look for my blade.
[00:56] ---
    I found the key right away,
[00:57] ---
    but my blade is
    nowhere to be found.
[01:00] ---
    They confiscated it, right?
    Then look in their armory.
[01:05] ---
    Let's go.
[01:07] ---
    What? You're going to help me?
[01:09] ---
    You're all right, Jugo.
    Unlike that Karin.
[01:13] ---
    Speaking of which,
    where'd she go?
[01:16] ---
    Want to look for her?
[01:18] ---
    Without her around,
    it's a little too quiet…
[01:22] ---
    What should we do?
[01:26] ---
    I'm beginning to understand
    how the enemy is coordinating this.
[01:29] ---
    Now it's my turn!
[01:35] ---
    I'm not so naïve…
[01:40] ---
    as to allow the enemy to act.
[01:42] ---
    – Summoning Jutsu!
    – Summoning Jutsu!
[01:59] ---
    No way. Don't tell me…
[02:01] ---
    That's…
[02:11] ---
    The past members of the Seven
    Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
[02:19] ---
    Among the legendary
    Seven Ninja Swordsmen…
[02:22] ---
    they've chosen the strongest ones!
[02:27] ---
    The Seven Ninja Swordsmen…
[02:31] ---
    Nothing on the Ensui Platoon?
[02:33] ---
    They'll be here shortly.
[02:35] ---
    Maki of the Hidden Sand,
    what about you?
[02:38] ---
    We're ready to roll!
[02:40] ---
    All right, buy some time
    for Ensui's platoon.
[02:44] ---
    Everyone, attack together!
[02:53] ---
    It's not here either.
[02:56] ---
    You said you're gathering all
    the lost Hidden Mist Blades.
[03:00] ---
    Why are you so obsessed?
[03:02] ---
    What?
[03:04] ---
    You said you'd help me.
    Don't tell me you're giving up?
[03:07] ---
    You're the one who gives up.
[03:11] ---
    Except when it comes
    to the ninja blades.
[03:16] ---
    I need one thing to keep me going.
[03:19] ---
    Resurrecting
    the Seven Ninja Swordsmen
[03:21] ---
    and becoming their leader
    is my dream.
[03:25] ---
    Resurrect?
[03:26] ---
    Yeah.
[03:27] ---
    Right now, the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen consists
[03:30] ---
    of a single brat named Chojuro.
[03:33] ---
    Traditionally, the ninja blade is
[03:34] ---
    passed down from
    generation to generation.
[03:36] ---
    Right now, there is only one blade,
    known as the Hiramekarei.
[03:39] ---
    Nothing else.
[03:41] ---
    The great blade, Samehada,
    is in Kisame's possession,
[03:44] ---
    but he's a rogue ninja.
[03:45] ---
    I finally got a hold of
    the Executioner's Blade,
[03:47] ---
    only to lose it.
[03:52] ---
    So officially,
    that unit doesn't exist today.
[03:57] ---
    For now, anyway…
[05:29] ---
    The First and Last Opponent
    
    
    
[05:32] ---
    The First and Last Opponent
    
    
    It's no use.
[05:33] ---
    No matter how many times we attack,
    it has no effect.
[05:36] ---
    What do we do against
    guys like that?
[05:39] ---
    They're the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
[05:42] ---
    The longer we keep this up,
    the greater our disadvantage.
[05:45] ---
    Don't worry so much!
[05:47] ---
    The Reanimation Jutsu
    can be stopped
[05:49] ---
    by sealing away the soul
    or immobilizing their body.
[05:53] ---
    And other than Zabuza,
    no one is wielding a sword.
[05:56] ---
    That cuts their strength in half.
[05:59] ---
    No.
[06:03] ---
    It seems they brought their swords.
[06:15] ---
    Not all of them have one.
[06:17] ---
    The mist is getting even thicker…
[06:20] ---
    We can't see through this.
[06:22] ---
    And there's no sound
    with Silent Killing.
[06:24] ---
    We can't even hear them.
[06:26] ---
    We must do something
    about this mist,
[06:28] ---
    or the Allied Forces are
    at a disadvantage.
[06:30] ---
    You have a plan?
[06:32] ---
    I'm preparing it now.
[06:34] ---
    Then I'll leave you to handle it!
[06:45] ---
    Lee! Go after the Scorch Style!
    I'll take the Explosion Style!
[06:49] ---
    Understood!
[06:51] ---
    Captain Kakashi!
[06:53] ---
    I'm ready with my Shadow Possession
    and Shadow Paralysis!
[06:56] ---
    All right, fasten it to me.
[06:58] ---
    Ensui, reduce the strength
    of the Shadow Possession,
[07:00] ---
    and stay focused on my movements.
[07:03] ---
    Right!
[07:05] ---
    Santa Yamanaka,
    use the Mind Transfer Jutsu
[07:07] ---
    to trade places with me.
[07:09] ---
    With your sensory skills,
[07:11] ---
    you will be able to track and
    find Zabuza in this mist!
[07:14] ---
    Right!
[07:16] ---
    Once you perceive Zabuza,
    since I'll be under Shadow Possession,
[07:19] ---
    guide me to a location
    where I can see him.
[07:22] ---
    Get me behind him
    as close as you can.
[07:25] ---
    When I have
    a clear sight of him,
[07:27] ---
    immediately release
    the Mind Transfer Jutsu
[07:29] ---
    and return me to my body.
[07:32] ---
    I will grapple with Zabuza
    and step on his shadow
[07:35] ---
    and get him into position.
[07:37] ---
    At that point, Ensui,
    immediately increase the power
[07:39] ---
    of your Shadow Possession
    and Shadow Stitching Jutsu
[07:42] ---
    and bind him!
[07:44] ---
    Then Maki, completely immobilize Zabuza
    with your Cloth Paralysis Jutsu!
[07:49] ---
    Yes!
[07:51] ---
    Let's do this!
[07:51] ---
    Right!
[07:53] ---
    Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[07:55] ---
    We're going to guard
    Captain Kakashi!
[07:57] ---
    Right!
[08:02] ---
    Anyway, there are lots
    of other blades.
[08:06] ---
    Among the Ninja Swordsmen
    throughout history,
[08:09] ---
    there were super masters besides
    Kisame, Zabuza and Chojuro.
[08:13] ---
    First…
[08:15] ---
    there's the wielder of
    the Lightning Blade, the Fang,
[08:18] ---
    a blade swathed with lightning
    with the ultimate cutting edge…
[08:22] ---
    Ameyuri Ringo.
[08:26] ---
    The wielder of…
[08:29] ---
    the Blunt Blade, Kabutowari,
    that smashes through any defense…
[08:32] ---
    Jinin Akebino.
[08:38] ---
    The blade that stabs
    and pierces everything
[08:40] ---
    and sews them together…
[08:44] ---
    the Long Blade, the Sewing Needle.
[08:47] ---
    Its wielder is
    Kushimaru Kuriarare.
[08:51] ---
    The blade that adds explosive power
    to one's swordsmanship…
[08:56] ---
    the Explosive Blade: the Splatter.
[08:59] ---
    And its wielder,
    Jinpachi Munashi.
[09:05] ---
    And the one who,
    like Kisame Hoshigaki,
[09:07] ---
    wielded the Great Blade, Samehada…
    Fuguki Suikazan.
[09:13] ---
    And the one who could handle
    all seven blades.
[09:17] ---
    The one known as the second coming
    of the demon, my older brother…
[09:21] ---
    Mangetsu Hozuki.
[09:24] ---
    And I am going to be the captain
    of the new generation
[09:28] ---
    of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and…
[09:31] ---
    Enough. You're talking too loud.
[09:34] ---
    Hey, I was coming to the climax.
[09:38] ---
    The sword you broke
    in two, right?
[09:41] ---
    Shouldn't you just make
    a new sword?
[09:45] ---
    You don't know a thing.
[09:47] ---
    That blade has a certain power.
[09:52] ---
    The Severing Sword,
    the Executioner's Blade,
[09:54] ---
    cannot be chipped or nicked.
[09:56] ---
    No, a better way to put it is,
    the blade repairs itself.
[09:59] ---
    It cuts into humans,
    then absorbs their blood.
[10:03] ---
    It regenerates itself with
    the iron present in blood.
[10:08] ---
    All right! Found him!
[10:09] ---
    Mind Transfer Jutsu, release!
[10:11] ---
    Good luck, Captain Kakashi!
[10:14] ---
    All right!
[10:15] ---
    He hasn't noticed me.
[10:17] ---
    I can do this!
[10:37] ---
    Splendid, Haku.
[10:39] ---
    I didn't expect him to jump in
    to save Zabuza.
[10:42] ---
    The boy… is already dead.
[10:49] ---
    Zabuza's Hidden Mist style is
    necessary in order to battle many.
[10:54] ---
    So I knew that Zabuza would
    be their target.
[10:58] ---
    To protect him,
    the rest can be mere shields.
[11:03] ---
    And Haku will protect Zabuza
    with his life.
[11:08] ---
    Even though he is simply
    a puppet now.
[11:11] ---
    It must be quite a performance
    out there on the battlefield.
[11:16] ---
    He intends to slash me along
    with the boy?!
[11:24] ---
    Captain Kakashi!
[12:16] ---
    Damn it…
[12:17] ---
    If we can't hear them or
    even see them…
[12:20] ---
    Isn't Captain Kakashi here yet?!
[12:25] ---
    I put a shadow on one enemy!
[12:27] ---
    There hasn't been enough contact
    time with the second shadow!
[12:30] ---
    I can't stop his movements!
[12:32] ---
    Contact time?
[12:34] ---
    Don't tell me Zabuza cut down
    Captain Kakashi?!
[12:48] ---
    Give me another A-rank mission?!
[12:51] ---
    No way!
[12:53] ---
    Zabuza and Haku…
[12:55] ---
    I can't believe everyone
    came out unscathed
[12:57] ---
    against such strong ninja.
[13:00] ---
    Huh…
[13:02] ---
    Well, learn more jutsu and train
    to become stronger.
[13:06] ---
    Then you can tackle
    A-rank missions.
[13:10] ---
    You're right about learning
    more jutsu.
[13:13] ---
    But I've also got to find other
    things that I want to protect.
[13:18] ---
    Haku said to me…
[13:20] ---
    when a person has something
    precious they want to protect,
[13:24] ---
    they can truly become strong
[13:29] ---
    I see…
    So do you feel the same way?
[13:33] ---
    Yeah!
[13:34] ---
    After watching Haku and Zabuza,
    I started to believe that.
[13:40] ---
    Hey, hey…
[13:42] ---
    Kakashi Sensei,
    what do you think about this?
[13:46] ---
    About what?
[14:20] ---
    I'm glad you were
    Naruto's first adversaries.
[14:33] ---
    Maki, stay behind me and
[14:35] ---
    stand by with
    your Cloth Paralysis Jutsu!
[14:39] ---
    Right!
[14:48] ---
    Why?
[14:50] ---
    Why can't I keep up?
[14:52] ---
    Damn it!
[15:04] ---
    You can't possibly defeat me
    the way you are now.
[15:07] ---
    What was that?!
[15:09] ---
    You still don't realize…
[15:17] ---
    Zabuza…
[15:18] ---
    That time,
    you hesitated killing Haku
[15:22] ---
    and you couldn't hide the unrest
    in your heart over Haku's death.
[15:31] ---
    But it's different this time.
[15:33] ---
    You're just a tool
    with no feelings.
[15:36] ---
    Let's put an end
    to a fight like this!
[15:41] ---
    Hey, hey… Kakashi Sensei.
[15:44] ---
    What do you think about this?
[15:47] ---
    About what?
[15:50] ---
    Well, those two were enemies…
[15:53] ---
    I…liked those guys.
[16:04] ---
    Is that weird?
[16:11] ---
    No.
[16:14] ---
    I feel the same way.
[16:26] ---
    Ensui! Bind him!
[16:28] ---
    That's my signal! Okay!
[16:30] ---
    Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!
[16:42] ---
    The way you died and your tears…
[16:53] ---
    demonstrated your bond
    to each other.
[16:58] ---
    I have many things I want
    to protect as a shinobi.
[17:03] ---
    Zabuza and Haku…
[17:05] ---
    Protecting the way they died
    is one of those things.
[17:09] ---
    Especially since I am
    their final enemy.
[17:26] ---
    Naruto… What do you think?
[17:39] ---
    Now, Maki!
[17:41] ---
    Right!
[17:47] ---
    Damn it!
[17:50] ---
    This is…
[17:51] ---
    The mist is clearing…
[17:54] ---
    All right!
    Now we can see the enemy!
[18:00] ---
    If these tags remain,
    they cannot be summoned.
[18:03] ---
    I will keep an eye on
    these two bodies.
[18:06] ---
    All right…
[18:08] ---
    The Reanimation Jutsu…
    This is an unforgivable jutsu!
[18:11] ---
    Sai, next we'll use your
    Sealing Jutsu from the Foundation!
[18:15] ---
    You're up!
[18:16] ---
    But…But I still haven't mastered
    that jutsu…
[18:19] ---
    Isn't it a fact that you were
    highly regarded by Danzo?
[18:23] ---
    There's no need to suppress
    your emotions anymore!
[18:27] ---
    Well… It takes me a while
    to get upset too…
[18:32] ---
    But this time,
    my boiling point was low.
[18:36] ---
    Copy Ninja Kakashi has copied
    a thousand jutsu…
[18:40] ---
    And I'm going to use them
    to their fullest extent!
[18:44] ---
    Attack!
[18:47] ---
    Fang Over Fang!
[18:51] ---
    Hidden Jutsu! Beetle Sphere!
[18:57] ---
    Eight Trigrams Air Palm!
[19:06] ---
    Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
[19:19] ---
    Neji!
[19:22] ---
    There are too many of them…
[19:24] ---
    So they absorb chakra…
[19:31] ---
    Gentle Fist Technique…
    Body Blow!
[19:47] ---
    One after another…
    There's no end to them!
[19:49] ---
    Stop whining and move!
[19:52] ---
    Each one is strong and persistent!
[19:55] ---
    This is attrition warfare.
[20:00] ---
    Captain Kitsuchi!
[20:01] ---
    We have word from Headquarters!
[20:03] ---
    Several thousand have
    gotten past us!
[20:06] ---
    Dad!
[20:07] ---
    Quiet! I know!
[20:48] ---
    Here they come.
[22:37] ---
    Who are these two?!
    
    
[22:39] ---
    They're bathed in
    Nine Tails' chakra!
    
    
[22:41] ---
    It's incredible!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    There's no mistake!
    
    
[22:44] ---
    It's the Gold and Silver Brothers
    of the Hidden Cloud.
    
    
[22:47] ---
    And even Dan is with them?
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Well, now that it's come
    to this,
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I guess I'm the only one
    who can face him.
