**[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.
