[00:05] ---
    It's no use!
    We can't lose them.
[00:08] ---
    Tango! Get HQ!
[00:14] ---
    The Commando Unit,
    attempting to retreat, is reporting
[00:16] ---
    that the enemy pursuit team
    is closing in.
[00:20] ---
    A relief team from Fifth Company
    has been dispatched.
[00:24] ---
    Give them the coordinates of
    the closest rendezvous point.
[00:44] ---
    It's just from one segment,
    but they're voicing opposition.
[00:50] ---
    They are saying most samurai
    remain neutral,
[00:52] ---
    so why must we team up
    with the shinobi?
[00:56] ---
    Samurai are neutral, eh?
[00:59] ---
    They say that because
    they don't know the past.
[01:03] ---
    Moreover, they cannot understand
    the current situation.
[01:07] ---
    Some also say that
[01:09] ---
    a shinobi war must be resolved
    by the shinobi themselves.
[01:12] ---
    Yet these former foes still cannot
    find a common ground.
[01:25] ---
    How do they expect to end this
    without our help?
[01:33] ---
    Go forth! Show them
    how we samurai fight!
[01:37] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[03:09] ---
    Mifune vs. Hanzo
    
    
[03:14] ---
    I said let me outta here, hmm!
[03:19] ---
    Lord Orochimaru's chakra
    is penetrating my skull
[03:22] ---
    and coursing throughout my body.
[03:23] ---
    I must succeed in my mission.
[03:26] ---
    Over that way…
[03:28] ---
    Whether it was Akatsuki
    or Orochimaru…
[03:31] ---
    Whoever revived me will regret it!
[03:35] ---
    Everyone is going to think
    I was playing possum again!
[03:38] ---
    How embarrassing is that?!
[03:40] ---
    I'm trying to focus.
    Can you shut up, puppet granny?
[03:43] ---
    You shut up, old man snorkel face!
[03:49] ---
    Just a little more.
[03:51] ---
    This is close enough.
[03:53] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[03:54] ---
    Wha—?!
[03:58] ---
    Ibuse, do it!
[04:03] ---
    Poison Fog!
[04:06] ---
    What?!
[04:22] ---
    He resorted to the poison because
    he was fed up with chasing us?!
[04:25] ---
    Damn it!
[04:27] ---
    I should be resistant to poison,
    but my body's going numb.
[04:35] ---
    Are those reinforcements?!
[04:36] ---
    Hey, I'm over here!
[04:42] ---
    I've caught up to you.
[04:45] ---
    Damn it!
[04:50] ---
    Hanzo, I presume?
[04:53] ---
    I am Mifune, leader of the samurai.
[04:56] ---
    I wish to challenge you!
[04:58] ---
    We're saved.
[05:00] ---
    Sorry we're late.
[05:01] ---
    Are you all right?!
[05:02] ---
    Be careful. The enemy uses poison.
[05:05] ---
    The masks we wear are
    specially made for fighting ninja
[05:09] ---
    and are impervious to poison.
[05:11] ---
    Put it on!
[05:12] ---
    Thanks.
[05:13] ---
    They need antidotes!
[05:14] ---
    Take the Commando Unit members
    to the Medical Corps immediately!
[05:18] ---
    Lord Mifune!
[05:20] ---
    Assistance is unnecessary!
[05:21] ---
    If you don't want to get hurt,
    stay out of my way.
[05:25] ---
    So you're Mifune.
[05:27] ---
    Why do you side with the shinobi?
[05:29] ---
    You are staunchly samurai.
[05:34] ---
    To be serving the shinobi…
[05:39] ---
    How can you call yourself samurai?
[05:42] ---
    We do not serve the shinobi.
[05:45] ---
    The one master that we follow has
    never changed since the olden days.
[05:54] ---
    It is peace!
[05:55] ---
    Peace?!
[05:58] ---
    We pledge ourselves to peace,
    and act upon that conviction!
[06:10] ---
    The battlefield is getting lively.
[06:14] ---
    Now then…
[06:17] ---
    Lady Chiyo!
[06:19] ---
    I haven't been playing dead.
[06:21] ---
    You understand, don't you, Kankuro?
[06:23] ---
    Uh…yes?
[06:25] ---
    Never mind that.
[06:26] ---
    Hanzo controls a poison salamander!
[06:30] ---
    I fought him many times
    in the past.
[06:33] ---
    That's why I know the ingredients
    to the antidote.
[06:37] ---
    I am also aware that the salamander
    takes five minutes
[06:40] ---
    to produce and store up its poison.
[06:43] ---
    That old hag…
    Rambling on about everything!
[06:48] ---
    Ibuse! Retreat for now!
[06:56] ---
    Even though I'm being manipulated,
[06:59] ---
    it seems I don't have to
    fight them right now.
[07:03] ---
    Then you, Hanzo…
[07:05] ---
    You must know who my original foe
    in battle was!
[07:11] ---
    I will not hold back from
    the Five Great Shinobi Nations!
[07:23] ---
    I am going.
[07:28] ---
    Here he comes!
[07:35] ---
    It's hard?!
[07:46] ---
    You countered that nicely.
[07:51] ---
    You're not bad for
    a weak man of peace and neutrality.
[07:58] ---
    Don't look at me that way.
[07:59] ---
    I once sought peace myself.
[08:01] ---
    I wanted to unite
    the Five Great Nations
[08:03] ---
    into one shinobi world.
[08:06] ---
    But I realized right away that
    such a thing was impossible.
[08:10] ---
    Realized?
[08:13] ---
    Battle after battle after battle….
[08:15] ---
    And all that's left
    at the end is death!
[08:19] ---
    "Pledge yourselves to peace?!"
[08:22] ---
    You know better than anyone,
    what happened to that samurai!
[08:28] ---
    Many samurai have
    become shinobi instead,
[08:30] ---
    and your techniques have been
    passed over to the shinobi.
[08:34] ---
    Capture them!
[08:36] ---
    Sorry, but my body is acting
    on its own and running away.
[08:40] ---
    Samurai no longer have
    a role in this world!
[08:42] ---
    They don't believe in peace,
    are influenced only by money,
[08:46] ---
    and their roles have been taken over
    by ninja who wield powerful ninjutsu.
[08:51] ---
    Those shinobi fight and die,
    leaving nothing behind.
[08:56] ---
    I am the same.
[08:59] ---
    You are wrong.
[09:00] ---
    It's not about life or death.
[09:02] ---
    I don't care if I lose my life
    in the pursuit of peace!
[09:07] ---
    Having conviction is to stir
    oneself into action!
[09:11] ---
    Your conviction has been warped!
[09:14] ---
    According to the Samurai Way,
[09:16] ---
    people are the sword and
    they can live on in memories…
[09:20] ---
    like my Famed Blade Kurosawa.
[09:23] ---
    Do not compare people
    to swords!
[09:26] ---
    What can you possibly glean
    from a lump of iron?
[09:30] ---
    Take your ritual of seppuku.
[09:33] ---
    Why do you samurai try
    to diminish one's own life?
[09:38] ---
    I repeat…conviction does not fade.
[09:43] ---
    Enough of this nonsense!
[09:45] ---
    I will get rid of you samurai,
    once and for all.
[09:54] ---
    I will not allow you to use ninjutsu
    beyond this point!
[10:04] ---
    The rumors were right.
    You are indeed a master swordsman.
[10:07] ---
    This is what they meant by
    ninjutsu being useless on you.
[10:12] ---
    You didn't even give me time
    to weave a sign.
[10:15] ---
    And that second attack with
    my sickle and chain…
[10:17] ---
    Even if one was familiar
    with that move,
[10:19] ---
    no one has ever countered it.
[10:22] ---
    Long ago,
    when I was still unknown,
[10:24] ---
    you and I fought,
[10:27] ---
    although you probably
    do not remember.
[10:28] ---
    Is that so?
    Then why aren't you dead?
[10:31] ---
    You snapped my sword with
    that sickle and chain,
[10:34] ---
    and slashed my head.
[10:35] ---
    But somehow I survived.
[10:42] ---
    So you're that samurai…
[10:45] ---
    You didn't die?
[10:47] ---
    Well then, this time I will make
    certain of it.
[10:50] ---
    Unfortunately, that will not happen.
[10:52] ---
    From that first blow,
[10:54] ---
    I understood why someone, who was
    as strong as you, was killed.
[10:59] ---
    What?! What do you mean?
[11:01] ---
    I'm amazed that a shinobi of
    your caliber did not notice.
[11:06] ---
    Don't you remember how you died?
[11:17] ---
    Who could bring me to this point?
[11:23] ---
    Have you forgotten my face?
[11:26] ---
    You are…
[11:27] ---
    Yahiko of Akatsuki!
[11:29] ---
    You are supposed to be dead.
[11:31] ---
    What's going on?!
[11:32] ---
    You teamed up with Danzo
    and betrayed us.
[11:35] ---
    You now only think
    of self-preservation.
[11:38] ---
    You're trash.
[11:41] ---
    I once respected you.
[11:44] ---
    But, you have changed.
[11:46] ---
    Just who are you?!
[11:48] ---
    How can you be so strong?!
[11:51] ---
    And you don't even understand
    why you will lose.
[11:58] ---
    Vanish, Hanzo!
[12:00] ---
    S-Stop…
[12:04] ---
    What do they mean?
[12:07] ---
    What is it that I'm not seeing?!
[12:19] ---
    Be bathed in venom and die!
[12:21] ---
    I've had enough of your nonsense.
[12:26] ---
    What?!
[12:28] ---
    A sword that is continuously
    honed will gain renown
[12:31] ---
    and will be passed on. And…
[12:54] ---
    Men who cling to their convictions
    and defend them
[12:57] ---
    become heroes whose stories
    live on throughout the ages!
[13:03] ---
    How?!
[13:04] ---
    How were you able to cut me this time?!
[13:14] ---
    The blade is not stained at all.
[13:16] ---
    Is he that fast?!
[13:20] ---
    You lost your conviction and
    stopped honing your skills.
[13:23] ---
    Your swordsmanship has
    lost its edge!
[13:28] ---
    Your blade is dull,
    dirtied by blood and rusted.
[13:34] ---
    A dull blade is worthless!
[13:37] ---
    People are like swords!
[13:43] ---
    You did not remember me.
[13:45] ---
    And you probably don't recall what
    you said as you left me to die.
[13:56] ---
    It's salamander poison.
[13:57] ---
    I smeared it on my sickle too.
[14:01] ---
    But do not fear.
[14:02] ---
    The poison will numb the pain
    and you will die within two days.
[14:07] ---
    Do you know why I am feared
    as Hanzo the Salamander?
[14:11] ---
    I shall tell you my secret.
[14:13] ---
    Consider it a parting gift.
[14:17] ---
    In my village, there was
    a venomous black salamander.
[14:22] ---
    I was just a boy then,
    but when it died,
[14:25] ---
    its venom sac was implanted in me.
[14:30] ---
    Right around here…
[14:31] ---
    in order to turn me into a man
    capable of producing poison.
[14:37] ---
    I can poison people just
    by breathing on them.
[14:42] ---
    From the time I was a child,
    I was feared.
[14:44] ---
    So I was forced to breathe
    through this mask.
[14:49] ---
    Then why didn't you take off
    your mask during our fight?
[14:54] ---
    I've done that in the past.
[14:56] ---
    But doing that has risks.
[14:59] ---
    The mask serves another purpose.
[15:02] ---
    It protects me as well.
[15:04] ---
    If during battle, the venom sac
    is cut and ruptured,
[15:08] ---
    the poison would vaporize.
[15:11] ---
    Even with my resistance,
[15:14] ---
    my body could not counter
    the powerful gas,
[15:18] ---
    and I would be paralyzed.
[15:21] ---
    It wouldn't kill me, but it would give
    my foe an opportunity to attack.
[15:24] ---
    Against someone of your caliber,
[15:27] ---
    I must keep the mask on
    to prevent that.
[15:31] ---
    Although, my blade was indeed dull.
[15:38] ---
    People are like swords…
[15:41] ---
    Which means that I wasn't sharp.
[15:47] ---
    I will tell you one thing.
[15:49] ---
    Death is not the end.
[15:54] ---
    Loss of conviction is the end.
[15:58] ---
    That's why it's such a nuisance.
[16:01] ---
    It's hard to discern one's conviction
    just by looking at them
[16:04] ---
    If you die here, it wasn't
    because you weren't sharp.
[16:09] ---
    Blame your comrades, who cowered
    at the first mention of my name,
[16:12] ---
    and gave up, leaving you to fight me.
[16:17] ---
    H-Hanzo the Salamander?!
[16:20] ---
    R-Run!
[16:22] ---
    You used your body as
    a shield to protect them.
[16:31] ---
    I shall spread word of your heroism.
[16:34] ---
    So state your name as
    compensation for your death!
[16:37] ---
    "As compensation for my death…"
[16:40] ---
    Promise me one thing.
[16:43] ---
    Say it.
[16:46] ---
    Leave my fellow samurai alone!
[17:01] ---
    Here's the antidote.
[17:04] ---
    I told you that it's hard to discern one's
    conviction just by looking at them.
[17:10] ---
    But it's possible by fighting them.
[17:12] ---
    It's been a while since
    I fought someone like you.
[17:16] ---
    I will spare you this time.
[17:18] ---
    Well, it's possible that you'll die,
    even if you take the antidote.
[17:26] ---
    It is difficult to see
    one's convictions through.
[17:31] ---
    I, too, have my own conviction.
[17:37] ---
    To bring peace to this world.
[17:42] ---
    I'm going to use you as a test.
[17:44] ---
    To see if you will die,
    still embracing your convictions…
[17:47] ---
    Or you end up surviving,
[17:49] ---
    and abandoning those convictions
    over time.
[18:00] ---
    You're the one who insisted
    on testing me.
[18:02] ---
    Have you really abandoned
    your conviction?
[18:12] ---
    Well, that's hard to tell just
    by looking.
[18:18] ---
    There is a way to stop me,
    even though I am immortal.
[18:21] ---
    I believed I explained it
    to you before, Mifune.
[18:25] ---
    So step back and wait for
    the opportunity to seal me.
[18:29] ---
    I believe you are…
[18:31] ---
    Lord Mifune!
[18:32] ---
    His poison!
[18:33] ---
    I'm fine.
[18:35] ---
    I am resistant to this poison.
[18:37] ---
    But that may not be
    the case from here on.
[18:40] ---
    Everyone, retreat with me
    and get ready to seal him!
[18:45] ---
    Just as I thought.
[18:46] ---
    He didn't survive the poisoning
    for nothing.
[18:53] ---
    We'll observe from here.
[18:56] ---
    Lord Hanzo…
[19:02] ---
    Mifune…I…
[19:09] ---
    entrust you with my conviction!
[19:17] ---
    Seppuku?!
[19:18] ---
    By a shinobi?!
[19:26] ---
    He's defied the orders in my tag!
[19:29] ---
    Suicide?!
[19:30] ---
    I have no choice but to switch him
    to mindless mode now.
[19:46] ---
    Why isn't he moving?
[19:48] ---
    Hanzo would never take orders from
    one who hides behind the shadows,
[19:54] ---
    manipulating others like puppets.
[19:59] ---
    You put your life on the line and
    regained your conviction.
[20:03] ---
    My friend, you were no dull blade.
[20:07] ---
    Seal him!
[20:08] ---
    Yes!
[20:23] ---
    They sealed him.
[20:34] ---
    I shall spread word of your heroism.
[20:38] ---
    I hereby witness
    your unwavering conviction.
[20:41] ---
    Lord Hanzo,
    you were admirable indeed!
[20:48] ---
    Lord Mifune?
[20:51] ---
    I understand Hanzo
    did not have a grave.
[20:55] ---
    I must find someplace suitable
    for him.
[22:37] ---
    What are you doing, Choji?!
    I am your enemy right now!
    
    
[22:41] ---
    Your movements are slow, Choji!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Pull yourself together!
    
    
[22:44] ---
    We prepared ourselves for this.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    This is too much for me.
    I can't take our sensei down!
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "True Kindness"
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Choji, fight! You coward!
