[00:32] ---
    I'm beginning to lose my patience
    with these shinobi.
[00:37] ---
    How long do they intend to keep
    us feudal lords cooped up like this?
[00:43] ---
    Now, now…
    What is the harm?
[00:46] ---
    We should decorate them
    after the war.
[00:51] ---
    What shall we call it?
[01:08] ---
    Is this it?
[01:17] ---
    How hard the wind blows
[01:18] ---
    As we course through
    the deep and winding road
[01:22] ---
    The smell of the wind reminds me
    of the capital…
[01:27] ---
    Officials and we feudal lords are used
    as hostages in times of war.
[01:34] ---
    It is the duty of the shinobi to
    guarantee our safety.
[01:38] ---
    Which is why I accompany you,
    Lord of the Land of Mist.
[01:45] ---
    We will reach
    your hiding place shortly.
[01:51] ---
    Now then, what is a suitable title
    for the decoration?
[01:55] ---
    Certificate of… Certificate of…
[02:06] ---
    Is that the enemy?!
    I didn't detect anything!
[02:09] ---
    Do not let them get close
    to the Feudal Lords!
[02:25] ---
    He fell for it!
[02:36] ---
    So, this wasn't it.
[02:39] ---
    Damn! He got away.
[02:42] ---
    Get word to the other hiding place! Stat!
[02:45] ---
    Oh!
[02:47] ---
    I have the perfect name
    for the honor!
[02:51] ---
    Land of Fire's Hidden Leaf,
    Land of Wind's Hidden Sand,
[02:56] ---
    Land of Earth's Hidden Stone,
    Land of Water's Hidden Mist,
[03:02] ---
    Land of Lightning's Hidden Cloud
    Allied Shinobi Decoration!
[03:09] ---
    It's too long!
[03:11] ---
    The Allied Award will suffice!
[03:15] ---
    No, that is much too short.
[03:18] ---
    It doesn't sound distinctive enough.
[03:21] ---
    Feudal lords are so carefree.
[03:24] ---
    What's the fuss over
    getting a decoration?
[03:28] ---
    That's their job.
[03:31] ---
    Don't knock it.
[03:33] ---
    If there weren't any medals
    and decorations,
[03:35] ---
    we wouldn't know what honor is.
[03:38] ---
    Someone has to set the standard.
[03:42] ---
    Well… I guess so.
[03:45] ---
    You don't get decorated
    by just thinking about it!
[03:50] ---
    Stay alert. It's almost time to move.
[03:56] ---
    Feudal Lord of the Land of Frost…
[03:59] ---
    We are now headed for
    the fifth hiding place.
[04:02] ---
    Fifth?
[04:05] ---
    Yes…
[04:06] ---
    We will be moving you
    at fixed intervals to five locations
[04:09] ---
    to prevent the enemy
    from finding you.
[04:15] ---
    Your bodyguards are
    all skilled shinobi too.
[04:20] ---
    That is reassuring.
[04:22] ---
    Yes…
[04:31] ---
    They've underestimated me,
    Black Zetsu!
[04:54] ---
    This land is me!
[06:30] ---
    Battleground
    
    
[07:03] ---
    It's drab…
[07:05] ---
    But I'll show them why
    I'm the one guarding the coastline.
[07:13] ---
    I'll launch the opening shot!
    Then continue!
[07:16] ---
    – Yes sir!
    – Yes sir!
[07:19] ---
    Lightning Style, Black Panther!
[07:30] ---
    Black Lightning!
[07:32] ---
    Captain Darui is
    the only one authorized
[07:34] ---
    by the previous Raikage
    to get a lightning tattoo!
[07:37] ---
    Sorry about that.
[07:47] ---
    Up above!
[07:50] ---
    We're not going to allow you
    to pass so easily!
[07:58] ---
    Keep on going!
[08:12] ---
    Don't let them break
    through the barricade!
[08:14] ---
    Now go!
[08:19] ---
    My worst nightmare has come true.
[08:22] ---
    This is like…
[08:23] ---
    No, this is the Great Ninja War.
[08:33] ---
    Choza…
[08:35] ---
    What?
[08:39] ---
    I see…
[08:41] ---
    You're all grown up, Choza.
[08:44] ---
    I have still have a lot to grow.
[08:48] ---
    Release!
[08:51] ---
    Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
[09:07] ---
    Brother…
[09:13] ---
    Forgive me…
[09:15] ---
    As a member of the branch family,
    who should be protecting the main family,
[09:18] ---
    I'm standing here now
    as your enemy.
[09:21] ---
    This must be my punishment for
    resenting the main family long ago.
[09:25] ---
    My body will not do
    what I tell it to.
[09:29] ---
    As it is, my decision
    to choose death
[09:32] ---
    for the sake of the village
    has been negated…
[09:37] ---
    So please tell Neji.
[09:41] ---
    I wasn't killed to protect
    the head family.
[09:45] ---
    But to protect Neji, my siblings,
    family and the land,
[09:50] ---
    by my own will, I chose death!
[09:56] ---
    This is the fate in store for me,
[09:58] ---
    a member of the branch family.
[10:01] ---
    There is no such fate!
[10:03] ---
    Your son has fought
    to demonstrate that!
[10:07] ---
    So has my daughter!
[10:10] ---
    Neji…
[10:11] ---
    And Lady Hinata too…
[10:17] ---
    Damn, there's no end to this!
[10:31] ---
    Are you all right, Neji?!
[10:33] ---
    Yeah… Thanks, Hinata.
[10:38] ---
    It's not about
    the branch family protecting
[10:40] ---
    the bloodline of the main family now.
[10:42] ---
    We protect each other
    as comrades!
[10:46] ---
    That time has actually come to pass?
[10:50] ---
    Then Brother…
[10:52] ---
    This is all the more reason,
[10:54] ---
    by your hand I wish to…
[11:15] ---
    Even wild geese know
    about formation.
[11:18] ---
    That when the leader
    becomes confused,
[11:20] ---
    the entire flock is put at risk.
[11:28] ---
    But I am much too young,
[11:30] ---
    too inexperienced to
    protect this world!
[11:33] ---
    So I beg you all to
    lend me your strength!
[11:37] ---
    You got it, Lord Gaara!
[11:56] ---
    Although it's a fact that
    someone young and charismatic
[12:00] ---
    must stand at the helm…
[12:18] ---
    Hey!
[12:19] ---
    All this moving around
    is making me sick!
[12:21] ---
    Talk about being artless, hmm!
[12:24] ---
    Shut up.
[12:26] ---
    I'll be happy to seal
    that mouth shut too.
[12:29] ---
    I'm not into S&M!
[12:31] ---
    I'll show you what real art is,
    so let me outta here, hmm!
[12:36] ---
    Damn it…
[12:42] ---
    Ouch!
[12:45] ---
    We stopped…hmm.
[12:49] ---
    Granny Chiyo…
[12:52] ---
    And…
[12:57] ---
    Well done, Kankuro.
[12:59] ---
    You seem to have stopped Sasori.
[13:03] ---
    Hmm? That voice…
[13:06] ---
    Hey! If you're here to help,
    get me out of here!
[13:10] ---
    It's stifling me and
    I'm about to explode, hmm!
[13:14] ---
    No, you're wrong.
[13:16] ---
    You can't explode,
    that's the reason you're in there…
[13:20] ---
    Explosive Style kid.
[13:23] ---
    Oh…well, that's true.
[13:27] ---
    Hey, don't put it like that, hmm!
[13:30] ---
    Both the Akatsuki and the shinobi of
    the Five Great Nations are enemies to me.
[13:36] ---
    I have no intention of helping you.
[13:39] ---
    I loathe this jutsu.
[13:43] ---
    I have no control over my body.
[13:46] ---
    The Reanimation Jutsu again…
[13:48] ---
    As if Granny Chiyo
    isn't dangerous enough,
[13:51] ---
    these guys look pretty scary too.
[13:56] ---
    It doesn't help that
    we split up our fighting force.
[14:04] ---
    Listen up.
[14:06] ---
    Retreat on my signal.
[14:08] ---
    Right.
[14:28] ---
    We just got tactical orders
    from Headquarters.
[14:30] ---
    We're to transmit this
    to the front immediately!
[14:34] ---
    Get the tactical data
    to the captains!
[14:42] ---
    Captain Kitsuchi!
[14:43] ---
    This just came in from Headquarters!
    Tactical orders!
[14:46] ---
    All right! Tell me!
[14:54] ---
    Got it.
[14:57] ---
    Sorry, I just got orders to
    take half this company
[15:01] ---
    and join up with
    the First Company.
[15:04] ---
    Half?!
[15:05] ---
    Are they out of their minds
    at Headquarters?!
[15:07] ---
    No, I agree with their strategy.
[15:11] ---
    If everything goes according to plan,
    things will be okay.
[15:14] ---
    And I'll be back.
[15:17] ---
    But one thing troubles me.
[15:20] ---
    What's the matter, Shikamaru?
[15:23] ---
    Supposedly, the enemy has
    a Kekkei Touta shinobi
[15:26] ---
    that surpasses Kekkei Genkai.
[15:29] ---
    Kekkei Touta?!
    Are you sure about this?
[15:33] ---
    Kekkei Touta?
[15:34] ---
    What are they talking about?
[15:37] ---
    Do you know, Matsuri?
[15:39] ---
    I've never heard of it.
[15:41] ---
    But judging from
    Temari's shocked reaction…
[15:45] ---
    It must be a formidable enemy.
[15:48] ---
    You there…
[15:50] ---
    How do you expect
    to defend yourself
[15:52] ---
    against the Kekkei Touta
    with so little knowledge?!
[15:54] ---
    – F-Forgive me, Temari!
    – F-Forgive me, Temari!
[15:58] ---
    But exactly what is Kekkei Touta?
[16:03] ---
    Damn it, don't you young ones
    know anything?!
[16:08] ---
    Kekkei Touta is…
[16:11] ---
    Kekkei…
[16:12] ---
    Touta is…?
[16:16] ---
    Shikamaru, tell them!
[16:19] ---
    Huh? Why me?
[16:21] ---
    I'm not good at these things!
[16:23] ---
    You explain!
[16:26] ---
    Damn it.
[16:28] ---
    I'm the one who's supposed
    to give the orders.
[16:32] ---
    I want to hear this too, Shikamaru.
[16:35] ---
    Well then, I guess I should start
    with the properties of chakra.
[16:41] ---
    FIRE WIND LIGHTNING EARTH WATER
    
    
    
    Generally, we all possess
    one chakra nature.
[16:46] ---
    EARTH FIRE WIND WATER LIGHTNING
    
    
    
    That's besides the nature
    you obtain from training.
[16:50] ---
    WATER LIGHTNING EARTH WIND FIRE
    
    
    
    
    There are different natures,
[16:53] ---
    so the more chakra natures
    you have, the better.
[16:57] ---
    WATER WIND
    EARTH FIRE
    WIND LIGHTNING
    FIRE EARTH
    WATER WIND
    
    That's why most jonin possess
    multiple chakra natures.
[17:02] ---
    I see…
[17:04] ---
    I know that much.
[17:06] ---
    You'd better.
[17:08] ---
    However, there are those born
    with two chakra natures,
[17:13] ---
    who are able to fuse
    the two and create new chakra.
[17:20] ---
    They are known as
    Kekkei Genkai shinobi.
[17:23] ---
    Captain Yamato's Wood Style
    is a combination of water and earth.
[17:27] ---
    Isn't that right?
[17:29] ---
    Yes.
[17:31] ---
    And Captain Darui of
    the First Company uses a Gale Style
[17:34] ---
    that's a combination of
    lightning and water chakra.
[17:40] ---
    They're all shinobi with
    rare jutsu styles.
[17:45] ---
    And topping the Kekkai Genkai,
    there is the Kekkei Touta
[17:50] ---
    in which three chakra natures
    are fused.
[17:53] ---
    What?! Three?
[17:56] ---
    It's almost beyond belief
    and extremely rare.
[17:59] ---
    In fact, I know of only one
[18:01] ---
    among all the shinobi of
    the Five Great Nations.
[18:04] ---
    Of all the luck, the enemy uses
    the Reanimation Jutsu…
[18:08] ---
    And they've resurrected
    a long-dead Kekkei Touta shinobi
[18:11] ---
    who uses something known
    as the Particle Style.
[18:13] ---
    Mu the Second Tsuchikage.
[18:20] ---
    We'd better come up with
    a strategy against him.
[18:24] ---
    Shikamaru…
[18:25] ---
    How can we leave when
    there's such a formidable enemy shinobi?
[18:31] ---
    Well, it looks like Headquarters
    has taken that into consideration.
[18:37] ---
    With the appearance of a rare ally
    with a Kekkei Touta.
[18:46] ---
    You didn't have to bother
    stepping up to help.
[18:52] ---
    And who was it that didn't stop me?
[18:55] ---
    Then let me ask you this.
[18:59] ---
    When did you all
    forsake yourselves?
[19:14] ---
    This is where I take back
    my forsaken self!!
[19:40] ---
    Super-Expansion Jutsu!
[20:09] ---
    This is pitiful…
[20:10] ---
    That we're caught in the jutsu
    of the Second Hokage
[20:14] ---
    whom we've beaten before…
    eh, Kinkaku?
[20:19] ---
    My apologies for embarrassing you,
    Kinkaku and Ginkaku,
[20:24] ---
    long revered as
    the shining light of the Cloud.
[20:28] ---
    Ginkaku, look at his left shoulder.
[20:35] ---
    It's the kid who inherited
    the Third Raikage's lightning.
[20:39] ---
    He seems to have some skill.
[20:42] ---
    I don't mean to disrespect you,
[20:44] ---
    but I'll have to shame you
    some more.
[20:48] ---
    I may end up taking the shine
    out of your silver and gold…
[20:57] ---
    With one strike of my Gale Style!
[21:00] ---
    Even though this is drab.
[22:37] ---
    I don't like that tone
    you're using toward your seniors.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    I'll shut you up!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Seems like a lot of time has passed.
    
    
[22:45] ---
    No one knows about us anymore.
    Let's do this Ginkaku!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    All right, Kinkaku!
    
    
[22:52] ---
    So those are the Gold and
    Silver Brother's Ninja Tools!
