[00:06] ---
    Long time no see,
    you Ino-Shika-Cho brats.
[00:10] ---
    You're Kakuzu, right?
[00:13] ---
    We took the "Gold."
[00:16] ---
    As for you, the "Bishop,"
[00:17] ---
    we know your tricks and
    how good you are.
[00:19] ---
    From now on,
    we're on the offensive.
[00:22] ---
    The brat who uses shadows.
[00:25] ---
    Your being here means that
    Hidan has been stopped, huh?
[00:30] ---
    Did he get his head
    chopped off again,
[00:32] ---
    while he was praying?
[00:35] ---
    Or does it mean he's not here
    because he's still alive?
[00:40] ---
    As if we know what he's doing
    while he's rotting away somewhere!
[00:44] ---
    So I don't have a rook,
[00:46] ---
    my gold and silver are taken,
    and I'm completely on the defensive.
[00:52] ---
    That's the fifth one.
[00:58] ---
    That's right.
    That guy has five hearts.
[01:01] ---
    So we have to bring him down
    five times.
[01:03] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[01:05] ---
    Time to finish the game.
[01:21] ---
    By the way,
[01:23] ---
    we also have gold and
    silver pieces too.
[01:27] ---
    Would you be interested
    in knowing who they might be?
[01:33] ---
    Dan Kato… Lady Tsunade's lover.
[01:38] ---
    And…
[01:48] ---
    Asuma Sarutobi.
[01:50] ---
    The son of the Third Hokage,
    and your master.
[01:54] ---
    Asuma…Sensei!
[01:56] ---
    I guess you're not the only ones
    who took game pieces.
[02:01] ---
    We have a few others as well.
[02:05] ---
    Ironic, isn't it?
[02:08] ---
    Why you—!
[02:12] ---
    Choza!
[02:13] ---
    Why is the Four Flames Formation
    taking so long?
[02:16] ---
    Hurry up and shut me inside
    the barrier…
[02:18] ---
    before I use my Ghost
    Transformation Jutsu!
[02:21] ---
    It's not that simple.
[02:23] ---
    Not when you're the target!
[02:29] ---
    A weird black thing has appeared!
[02:32] ---
    Watch out!
[02:36] ---
    Let's begin our counterattack.
[02:44] ---
    We owe you something.
[02:46] ---
    I hope you haven't forgotten,
    you stringy mess!
[02:49] ---
    Sorry, I don't remember anyone
    who can't make me money.
[02:53] ---
    They say that money talks,
    even in hell.
[02:56] ---
    Was that true for you?
[03:02] ---
    Masters!
[03:03] ---
    Izumo, Kotetsu!
[03:05] ---
    Shikamaru! Choji! Ino!
[03:07] ---
    Help us seal him!
[03:09] ---
    – All right.
    – Right!
[03:13] ---
    Izumo, Kotetsu…
[03:15] ---
    You two and Darui will be left
    to deal with Kakuzu.
[03:18] ---
    Kakuzu uses Earth Style.
[03:20] ---
    Center your battle on
    Darui's Lightning Style.
[03:23] ---
    Shikamaru, Choji and Ino
    will take on Asuma.
[03:26] ---
    But…that's too harsh!
[03:29] ---
    Master Asuma is their teacher!
[03:31] ---
    You can't do that!
[03:33] ---
    They were Asuma subordinates,
    the former Team 10.
[03:36] ---
    They know Asuma better
    than anyone else.
[03:39] ---
    They have the best chance
    of winning.
[03:42] ---
    But…
[03:43] ---
    No complaining! This is war!
[03:47] ---
    One that must be won!
[03:49] ---
    But…
[03:52] ---
    I…
[05:30] ---
    True Kindness
    
    
[05:51] ---
    Watch out!
[05:53] ---
    Hey Choji!
[05:55] ---
    This makes it seem like
    Shikamaru is my only opponent!
[05:58] ---
    But it's gonna hurt, you know.
[06:01] ---
    I'm strong and I don't
    wanna hurt you two.
[06:05] ---
    What makes you think
    you're better?
[06:08] ---
    Go ahead, try and hurt us!
[06:11] ---
    C'mon! Cry! Scream!
[06:14] ---
    Stop! You're hurting me!
[06:16] ---
    Damn it… What a drag.
[06:20] ---
    Choji, are you being gentle
    because they're your friends?
[06:24] ---
    Asuma Sensei…
[06:26] ---
    If that's the case, you're wrong.
[06:29] ---
    Sparring with a stronger partner
    will only help
[06:32] ---
    to make them stronger too.
[06:38] ---
    You don't get it?
[06:39] ---
    Then I'll show you.
[06:43] ---
    We're going to spar right now.
[06:46] ---
    If you're able to strike me, you pass.
[06:49] ---
    But if you're not able to hit me
    within one hour, Choji…
[06:54] ---
    Not just you,
[06:56] ---
    but Ino and Shikamaru will be
    sent back to the Academy.
[07:00] ---
    Huh? No fair!
[07:03] ---
    Think of me as the enemy and charge,
    for their sake too.
[07:07] ---
    Transform your kindness into power.
[07:13] ---
    Choji!
[07:15] ---
    Are you all right?
[07:16] ---
    U-Uh-huh…
[07:19] ---
    What's the matter with you guys?
[07:20] ---
    Go to Asuma now!
[07:26] ---
    If you truly care about your comrades,
[07:29] ---
    instead of running away,
[07:31] ---
    you need to set your mind
    on improving yourself!
[07:36] ---
    That's what true comrades are,
    you coward!
[07:41] ---
    I'm counting on you, Shikamaru.
[07:49] ---
    I'm going.
[07:50] ---
    Shikamaru!
[07:54] ---
    What'll you do, Ino?
[07:56] ---
    Choji!
[07:58] ---
    Take a good look around you,
    at your comrades!
[08:06] ---
    Go!
[08:27] ---
    Come at me!
[08:35] ---
    Choza!
[08:36] ---
    I know!
[08:53] ---
    Choji…
[08:55] ---
    Do you remember
    Asuma Sensei's dying words?
[09:04] ---
    Choji…
[09:05] ---
    You're a kind man who
    cares for his comrades…
[09:10] ---
    That's why…
[09:12] ---
    you'll become a shinobi who's stronger
    than anyone else.
[09:15] ---
    Be more confident in yourself.
[09:33] ---
    You're strong-willed,
    and dependable.
[09:38] ---
    Both Choji and Shikamaru,
    they're clumsy.
[09:44] ---
    So please take care of them.
[09:52] ---
    Let's go, you guys.
[09:54] ---
    Right!
[09:55] ---
    U-Uh-huh…
[09:59] ---
    We're counting on you three!
[10:12] ---
    All right!
[10:17] ---
    The kunai were to distract us.
[10:20] ---
    This is what they were after.
[10:30] ---
    Did they succeed?!
[10:38] ---
    Not yet!
[10:42] ---
    Asuma, I have to stop you!
[10:45] ---
    Nice move, considering
    how hastily it was formed.
[10:48] ---
    Keep cornering me like that.
[10:50] ---
    Right!
[10:51] ---
    Once more!
[10:53] ---
    But this time, our aim is to restrain,
    not destroy!
[10:55] ---
    Understood.
[10:56] ---
    Damn it!
    What's keeping the Sealing Team?!
[11:07] ---
    So strong!
[11:08] ---
    Damn it!
[11:18] ---
    Fire Style! Burning Ash!
[11:23] ---
    What is this…?!
[11:24] ---
    A smoke screen?!
[11:58] ---
    It's you guys…
[12:20] ---
    It took time to find that
    important sword.
[12:24] ---
    Now then,
    where's that damn Kakuzu?
[12:33] ---
    I picked this up earlier…
[12:42] ---
    What? I'm pretty good at using it!
[12:48] ---
    You're not getting away!
[12:57] ---
    All right! I got the one
    that produces thunder!
[13:00] ---
    This thing is great!
    But I wonder who lost it?
[13:07] ---
    I feel like this uses an enormous
    amount of chakra.
[13:12] ---
    But I can't worry about that now!
[13:22] ---
    Did you think I'd stay put?
[13:28] ---
    Captain Darui!
[13:29] ---
    I got the orders from HQ…
[13:32] ---
    But!
[13:40] ---
    Captain, we should use
    the Lightning Style in one blow.
[13:43] ---
    I'm sorry. I went overboard earlier.
[13:48] ---
    Black Panther!
[13:52] ---
    Laser Circus!
[13:54] ---
    – Double Black Panther!
    – Double Black Panther!
[13:58] ---
    I don't have enough chakra.
[14:01] ---
    Can you give me a moment?
[14:03] ---
    We're going after him, Kotetsu!
[14:04] ---
    Right!
[14:07] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[14:23] ---
    We're prepared for the inevitable.
[14:27] ---
    So Sensei, please be prepared too.
[14:31] ---
    Choji…Shikamaru…Ino…
[14:35] ---
    You've become fine shinobi.
[14:47] ---
    That's all thanks to you!
[14:51] ---
    Show me what you've got,
    Ino-Shika-Cho!
[15:00] ---
    We'll cut him down in one sweep!
[15:04] ---
    A Substitution Jutsu!
[15:06] ---
    Run!
[15:11] ---
    Your movements are slow, Choji!
[15:13] ---
    Pull yourself together!
[15:15] ---
    He's coming!
[15:18] ---
    Shikamaru!
[15:19] ---
    Cast your Shadow Possession
    to lead me towards Choji.
[15:22] ---
    That's just what I plan to do!
[15:24] ---
    Shadow Possession Jutsu!
[15:26] ---
    One more move!
[15:29] ---
    Even if it's a bluff,
[15:30] ---
    if he knows Mind Transfer Jutsu,
    he'll ward it off!
[15:33] ---
    If he dodges the Shadow Possession
    and makes a run for it,
[15:35] ---
    he'll be in Ino's blind spot.
[15:37] ---
    Exactly what I hoped for!
    And there…
[15:39] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[15:42] ---
    Checkmate, Asuma!
[15:44] ---
    Now, Choji!
[15:46] ---
    All right!
[15:49] ---
    What're you doing, Choji!
[15:51] ---
    Snap out of it!
[15:52] ---
    We prepared ourselves for this!
[15:54] ---
    Choji…!
[15:56] ---
    This is…
    This is too much for me!
[15:59] ---
    I can't take our Sensei down!
[16:03] ---
    Choji!
[16:04] ---
    Move!
[16:05] ---
    That's…!
[16:07] ---
    Wind Style! Dust Storm Jutsu!
[16:11] ---
    Damn it!
[16:12] ---
    He countered it!
[16:22] ---
    Are you all right?!
[16:23] ---
    Barely.
[16:25] ---
    Why? Why does it have
    to be like this?!
[16:30] ---
    It's too late to whine!
[16:32] ---
    We agreed to stop Asuma ourselves!
[16:35] ---
    What's with that look
    on your face, Choji?
[16:37] ---
    Right now, I am your enemy,
    plain and simple!
[16:39] ---
    I'm already dead!
[16:41] ---
    Don't hesitate!
[16:43] ---
    I know. I know that, but…
[16:48] ---
    Even back then, Sensei, you…
[16:57] ---
    What's the matter, Choji?
[16:58] ---
    Do you want the three of you
    to go back to the Academy?
[17:07] ---
    I wonder if he'll do it?
[17:13] ---
    Fight, Choji, you coward!
[17:22] ---
    That's not the way.
    It'll only backfire.
[17:26] ---
    It's not because Choji's scared.
[17:28] ---
    He doesn't want to hurt Asuma Sensei
    the way he's hurting now.
[17:34] ---
    He's very kind,
    down to his very core.
[17:38] ---
    But as it is…
[17:40] ---
    We have no choice.
[17:44] ---
    Hey Choji! Enough already,
    you fatso!
[17:50] ---
    Shikamaru…
[17:52] ---
    Did you just say "fatso"?
[17:54] ---
    Yeah…I said "fatso."
[17:58] ---
    That's what Asuma Sensei said.
[18:02] ---
    Really…Sensei?
[18:05] ---
    Y-Yeah…
[18:07] ---
    Yes! He said that a fatso like you
    wouldn't be able to punch him!
[18:13] ---
    You're going overboard, Ino.
[18:17] ---
    I don't care if you're my Sensei.
[18:18] ---
    Anyone who calls me "fatso"
    is gonna get it!
[18:32] ---
    I'm sorry…
[18:35] ---
    I can't hit you after all, Sensei.
[18:42] ---
    But…but, please just send me
    back to the Academy.
[18:47] ---
    Please don't punish Shikamaru and Ino.
[18:59] ---
    I understand, Choji.
[19:01] ---
    It's my loss.
[19:04] ---
    No matter how angry you are,
[19:06] ---
    you are able to suppress it,
    and think of your opponent.
[19:09] ---
    You have true kindness within you.
[19:12] ---
    I want you to continue
    nurturing that kindness.
[19:16] ---
    Someday, it will become your strength.
[19:20] ---
    But you know,
    when you are sparring…
[19:23] ---
    I know!
[19:24] ---
    I don't want to beat people
    like you or Shikamaru
[19:27] ---
    or Ino or my friend's from the village.
[19:29] ---
    But if I'm up against anyone
    who hurts them, I'll fight them.
[19:35] ---
    Even if Shikamaru and Ino
    keep calling me "fatso."
[19:47] ---
    By the way, Shikamaru and Ino,
    Choji isn't fat.
[19:53] ---
    He's just pleasingly plump.
[20:06] ---
    Asuma Sensei, you said it's okay
    if I'm like this.
[20:12] ---
    Now, Choji!
[20:15] ---
    I know you are kind.
[20:17] ---
    But right now,
    taking me down is kindness!
[20:21] ---
    This is the time to transform
    your kindness into strength!
[20:25] ---
    Now is the time, Choji!
[20:28] ---
    Please! You must stop me!
[20:35] ---
    Enough is enough, fatso!
[20:37] ---
    Just try and take me down!
[20:41] ---
    Did you call me "fatso"?
[20:44] ---
    You just said "fatso," right?
[20:51] ---
    I am not… I am not fat…
[21:00] ---
    I'm just pleasingly plump!
[22:37] ---
    I thought that oath was
    just part of a ritual.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    I thought both my heart and body
    would get stronger when I got older.
[22:48] ---
    But now, I…
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I have to change!
    
    
[22:54] ---
