    One Worth Betting On
    
    
[01:44] ---
    As I explained en route,
    our mission was
[01:46] ---
    to obtain the Hidden Jutsu
    from the Cedar Village.
[01:52] ---
    Collecting Hidden Jutsu…
    What else is new?
[01:56] ---
    Go on…
[01:58] ---
    After obtaining the Hidden Jutsu,
    I left to tend to another matter, so…
[02:02] ---
    I'll take over now.
[02:12] ---
    Lord Raikage…
[02:14] ---
    Leave it…
[02:17] ---
    Leave it…
[02:25] ---
    What? A smokescreen?
[02:28] ---
    Taking us for fools!
[02:30] ---
    Leave it…
[02:33] ---
    Who are you?
[02:34] ---
    Are you from the Cedar Village?
[02:39] ---
    We are not shinobi of
    the Cedar Village!
[02:42] ---
    We have no homeland,
    nor a master.
[02:46] ---
    People seek us out,
    and we fulfill their wishes.
[02:51] ---
    The Cedar Village came to us
    and their wish is…
[02:55] ---
    Death to those who stole
    the Hidden Jutsu of the Cedar Village!
[02:59] ---
    Mercenary shinobi, eh!
[03:02] ---
    Lightning Attack!
[03:11] ---
    Karai!
[03:12] ---
    Karai, what's wrong?!
[03:16] ---
    Why you—!
[03:19] ---
    We are the wandering phantoms
    of the forest.
[03:26] ---
    Nokizaru!
[03:28] ---
    Nokizaru…?
[03:32] ---
    Shinobi who prey on other shinobi…
[03:35] ---
    Nokizaru Troops eh?
[03:42] ---
    Lord Raikage!
[03:44] ---
    Karai is in no condition to…
[03:46] ---
    I'm fine. Let's go!
[03:50] ---
    That's it? They're such cowards!
[03:56] ---
    Lord Raikage, do not let
    the enemy provoke you!
[04:00] ---
    There should be someplace
    we can go just up ahead.
[04:02] ---
    The Raikage of the Cloud
    isn't much of anything…
[04:09] ---
    What—?!
[04:11] ---
    Damn it! Don't underestimate me!
[04:14] ---
    Lightning Rat Tremor!
[04:20] ---
    Nigai!
[04:23] ---
    Don't come!
[04:24] ---
    Please…
[04:25] ---
    don't come…
[04:31] ---
    Nigai!
[04:34] ---
    *Why you…!
[04:36] ---
    You won't get away with this!
[04:41] ---
    *No, Lord Raikage!
[04:43] ---
    Both Nigai and I used our jutsu
[04:45] ---
    and that induced an anomaly
    within our bodies…
[04:47] ---
    If you use your jutsu too…
[04:49] ---
    *Stay back, Karai!
[04:58] ---
    Perhaps they saw I meant business
    and were scared off…
[05:02] ---
    They did not appear again.
[05:06] ---
    But I wonder why?
[05:09] ---
    They were the aggressors…
[05:13] ---
    Furthermore, Nigai used his jutsu
    and it caused him to explode.
[05:16] ---
    Karai also used his jutsu.
[05:18] ---
    He realized the change
    in his body,
[05:20] ---
    and quickly suppressed any further
    activity to prevent an explosion.
[05:24] ---
    But the chakra with Paper Bomb-like
    properties that's attached to his chest
[05:27] ---
    is absorbing his jutsu's chakra,
    and he's in great pain.
[05:30] ---
    Lord Raikage manipulated
    the most powerful of all the chakra.
[05:35] ---
    But he is safe and sound.
[05:39] ---
    He's not sound at all.
[05:41] ---
    You can't tell by looking
    at him now.
[05:44] ---
    But I can sense in the Raikage,
[05:46] ---
    the same type of chakra
    as that lump.
[05:48] ---
    What do you mean?
    I feel perfectly fine!
[05:53] ---
    For now, you are.
[05:55] ---
    I'm certain that this lump
    is an Exploding Bug
[05:58] ---
    that only the Nokizaru Troops
    have been successful in propagating.
[06:02] ---
    You've seen what it does.
[06:04] ---
    Once it finds a host,
    it absorbs chakra and grows,
[06:08] ---
    and inevitably explodes.
[06:10] ---
    The size of the larva merits concern.
[06:14] ---
    Huh?
[06:16] ---
    You felt it?
[06:18] ---
    The larvae are as tiny as cells,
    invisible to the human eye.
[06:22] ---
    Then…
[06:23] ---
    Yes…
[06:25] ---
    You fell right into the enemy's trap
    on first contact.
[06:30] ---
    Larvae scattered into the atmosphere
    with that explosion of light…
[06:34] ---
    and you kept breathing them in,
    unaware of anything.
[06:39] ---
    Then why is Lord Raikage…?
[06:42] ---
    She's right!
[06:43] ---
    Why don't I have a lump?
[06:46] ---
    I was in the same situation
    as Karai and Nigai!
[06:49] ---
    And I can't say
    I didn't manipulate chakra!
[06:55] ---
    Earlier, when we arm-wrestled,
    I used quite a bit of chakra.
[07:00] ---
    The unruly Cloud brat
    only grew in size.
[07:04] ---
    How dare you…!
[07:06] ---
    Now, now…
[07:08] ---
    Hear me out before
    you start yelling.
[07:13] ---
    In the first place,
[07:15] ---
    we shinobi activate our jutsu
    by manipulating chakra.
[07:18] ---
    The quantity of chakra depends
    on the level of the jutsu.
[07:22] ---
    And we adjust the amount
    with each jutsu we use.
[07:27] ---
    The stronger the jutsu,
    the more chakra we require.
[07:34] ---
    Hence, we store chakra in our bodies
    for fixed periods of time.
[07:39] ---
    Just a minute…
[07:41] ---
    Earlier, you mentioned an arm-wrestling
    match between the two of you.
[07:44] ---
    Don't you use chakra when
    you use physical strength?
[07:49] ---
    Yes… However, the Raikage
    did not use chakra for strength.
[07:55] ---
    To counter my physical power…
[07:58] ---
    he used speed to push me back.
[08:05] ---
    Naturally, one uses chakra
    to release speed too.
[08:08] ---
    Reducing chakra into speed
    requires instant consumption…
[08:13] ---
    Not nearly enough time for
    the Exploding Bug to steal the chakra.
[08:17] ---
    So I am going to end up like Karai?
[08:20] ---
    Exactly!
[08:23] ---
    One uses a little chakra even
    for normal daily activities.
[08:27] ---
    So until the insect is removed,
    you must remain sedentary.
[08:30] ---
    Then it can be removed?
[08:33] ---
    Yes. Simple surgery should remove it.
[08:38] ---
    Shizune, get ready to operate!
[08:40] ---
    Yes!
[08:41] ---
    And…
[08:41] ---
    Oh, please wait! I will assist!
[08:44] ---
    Thank you.
[08:47] ---
    What is it?
[08:49] ---
    Huh? Oh, we'll operate on
    your subordinate first
[08:52] ---
    since he faces risk of exploding
    at any moment.
[08:56] ---
    That's fine. I want you to save Karai.
[09:01] ---
    No, please wait!
[09:03] ---
    You must let Lord Raikage go first!
[09:05] ---
    Impossible!
[09:06] ---
    I said the surgery itself is simple.
[09:08] ---
    However, if the Exploding Bug
    has attached itself
[09:10] ---
    intricately to the Chakra Network,
[09:12] ---
    it will require considerable
    medical skill and experience.
[09:15] ---
    Furthermore, it could explode
    at any time,
[09:19] ---
    and the surgeon must take
    the risk of dying too!
[09:23] ---
    So I'm not going to listen
    to your nonsense!
[09:26] ---
    All right, Tsunade.
    I'm fine with that.
[09:30] ---
    Tend to Karai first.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, sorry… I got carried away.
[09:34] ---
    But there's one more reason
    why your surgery is not possible yet.
[09:39] ---
    The Exploding Bug in
    your system is too small
[09:42] ---
    for the human eye to see.
[09:45] ---
    Until it grows larger,
    there's nothing we can do.
[09:48] ---
    Yet, you can't just sit back and wait.
[09:51] ---
    We don't know
    how much chakra it takes
[09:54] ---
    for the Exploding Bug to grow
    into a lump and explode!
[09:59] ---
    So, give me your word, Raikage!
[10:01] ---
    That you will allow us to proceed
    with the surgery in our own way!
[10:04] ---
    That you will not move at all.
[10:07] ---
    All right, I give you my word!
[10:22] ---
    Looks like you'll keep your word.
[10:26] ---
    What is it?
[10:30] ---
    Just a bug.
[10:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:37] ---
    Nah, it's nothing.
[10:39] ---
    Anyway, our target is definitely
    inside that abandoned building.
[10:43] ---
    And how is the Raikage?
[10:47] ---
    No change.
[10:50] ---
    Are you sure he inhaled
    the Exploding Bug?
[10:53] ---
    No doubt about it.
[10:54] ---
    The timing and distance
    were spot on.
[10:57] ---
    Then why?
[11:02] ---
    Why isn't the Exploding Bug
    maturing?
[11:05] ---
    If I knew that, we wouldn't
    be here spying on them.
[11:09] ---
    Let's just attack them.
[11:12] ---
    Waiting like this is boring.
[11:15] ---
    Don't be stupid.
[11:16] ---
    One of them could explode
    at any time.
[11:20] ---
    If we go in now,
    we might end up dead too.
[11:25] ---
    Don't forget our goal.
[11:27] ---
    We were hired to get
    the scroll back, intact.
[11:32] ---
    The easiest way is
    to negotiate a trade.
[11:34] ---
    We remove the Exploding Bug
    in exchange for the scroll.
[11:38] ---
    It doesn't matter
    if the enemy lives or dies,
[11:41] ---
    but we must retrieve
    the scroll undamaged!
[11:44] ---
    Then we'll be rewarded in full.
[11:48] ---
    It looks like others have come
    to aid the enemy.
[11:51] ---
    So as a precaution,
[11:53] ---
    we'll scatter some more
    Exploding Bugs again…
[11:56] ---
    when everyone is gathered
    in one location.
[12:06] ---
    I brought the antiseptic.
[12:09] ---
    Thank you.
[12:11] ---
    May I assist? I'd like to learn
    for future reference…
[12:14] ---
    I'd appreciate that.
[12:17] ---
    By the way, are you able to
    perform hemostatic jutsu?
[12:19] ---
    Oh yes, you can count on me.
[12:22] ---
    That will be very helpful.
[12:24] ---
    Please go over to that side
    and help me.
[12:26] ---
    This will save so much time,
[12:28] ---
    instead of controlling the bleeding
    and doing the excision by myself.
[12:33] ---
    Thanks…Amai.
[12:36] ---
    Don't you worry.
[12:38] ---
    Lady Tsunade will get every
    little bug out.
[12:42] ---
    We're going to start
    the anesthesia, so please relax.
[12:54] ---
    Are you ready to begin the surgery?
[12:57] ---
    Yes, we just gave him
    the anesthetic.
[13:00] ---
    It will take effect
    in a minute or two.
[13:04] ---
    All right, Tsunade!
    Take care of Karai!
[13:08] ---
    Shizune, do it.
[13:12] ---
    What? Why aren't you
    taking up the scalpel?
[13:15] ---
    I thought you were…
[13:16] ---
    Silence! I'm going to
    have Shizune do this!
[13:19] ---
    Don't tell me to shut up!
[13:21] ---
    I recognized the fact
[13:22] ---
    that you are the best Medical Ninja
    around, that's why…
[13:26] ---
    Don't worry about it!
[13:28] ---
    Shizune is a highly skilled
    Medical Ninja!
[13:30] ---
    Besides, you gave me your word…
[13:33] ---
    That you would allow us to proceed
    with the surgery in our own way!
[13:36] ---
    You're right, I did.
[13:37] ---
    But you'll be sorry
    if anything happens to Karai!
[13:41] ---
    Don't worry,
    I'll step in if I have to.
[13:44] ---
    Why don't you go downstairs
    and take a nap?
[13:48] ---
    How are we, Shizune?
[13:49] ---
    Okay! We're ready anytime!
[13:52] ---
    Fine, go ahead and begin.
[13:55] ---
    All right. We will now begin
    the procedure
[13:57] ---
    to open up the chest cavity
    and remove the Exploding Bug.
[14:01] ---
    Please begin your hemostatic jutsu.
[14:03] ---
    Right!
[14:14] ---
    What's the matter?
[14:15] ---
    It's all right.
[14:16] ---
    The Exploding Bug got big
    for just a second.
[14:19] ---
    My god! How am I supposed to
    keep my word to stay still?
[14:25] ---
    What's wrong, Tsunade?
[14:55] ---
    What's wrong, Tsunade?
[15:01] ---
    Blood?
[15:03] ---
    I see…
[15:05] ---
    Hemophobia…
    So you're afraid of blood!
[15:09] ---
    So that's why you left the surgery
    up to your subordinate…
[15:15] ---
    Excuse me… I'm going outside
    to get some air.
[15:24] ---
    What a debilitating condition for
    a Medical Ninja to be plagued with…
[16:05] ---
    Nawaki…
[16:14] ---
    Dan…
[16:16] ---
    Hey, Shizune…
[16:17] ---
    Tell me something.
[16:20] ---
    I'm in the middle of surgery.
[16:21] ---
    I know that.
[16:23] ---
    I'm not asking you to stop.
[16:27] ---
    Tsunade is right up there
    with Jiraiya and Orochimaru,
[16:30] ---
    as one of the Legendary Sannin
    of the Hidden Leaf.
[16:32] ---
    What on earth happened
    that made her fear blood?
[16:36] ---
    I'm curious too…
[16:38] ---
    Even though Lady Tsunade
    is not from our village,
[16:41] ---
    she exemplifies what
    we Medical Ninja strive to become.
[16:44] ---
    But what I observed earlier…
[16:50] ---
    I understand.
[16:53] ---
    Lady Tsunade had
    two great loves in her life.
[16:57] ---
    One was her younger brother,
    Nawaki.
[17:00] ---
    But on the day after his birthday,
[17:02] ---
    after she had just
    given him a present…
[17:05] ---
    he was killed in battle during
    the Third Great Ninja World War.
[17:10] ---
    The other person
    was the man she had
[17:12] ---
    promised to share her life with…
[17:14] ---
    Dan Kato, my uncle.
[17:18] ---
    I…don't want to die yet.
[17:22] ---
    I have so many things left to do…
[17:28] ---
    Don't speak!
[17:31] ---
    I…can't die…here…
[17:36] ---
    Don't worry,
    I stopped the bleeding.
[17:39] ---
    You're going to be all right.
[17:41] ---
    You'll be okay, Dan!
[17:44] ---
    Good… I'm so glad…
[17:56] ---
    Damn it… Don't bleed out!
[17:59] ---
    Stop!
[18:01] ---
    Stop! Stop!
[18:04] ---
    Stop!
[18:05] ---
    I said stop!
[18:21] ---
    Ever since that day, Lady Tsunade
    has been traumatized.
[18:28] ---
    I, too, must have been in shock
[18:30] ---
    after watching Nigai die
    before my very eyes.
[18:32] ---
    Otherwise, I would never
    have gambled our lives
[18:35] ---
    on the hands of a Medical Ninja
    who has lost it.
[18:38] ---
    Lady Tsunade hasn't lost it!
[18:45] ---
    The removal of
    the Exploding Bug is complete.
[18:46] ---
    This surgery is over!
[18:48] ---
    Please close him up!
[18:51] ---
    Yes!
[18:52] ---
    One more thing…
[18:53] ---
    Lady Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu
    is not lost.
[18:57] ---
    I will carry on for her.
[18:59] ---
    And Lady Tsunade will
    get back on her feet. She must!
[19:03] ---
    For my late uncle's sake too!
[19:11] ---
    I won the bet, after all.
[19:13] ---
    Huh?
[19:14] ---
    The reinforcements Arai called,
    rushed over
[19:17] ---
    and the Nokizaru Troop
    seemed to have given up.
[19:21] ---
    It was just luck.
[19:23] ---
    Hmm?
[19:24] ---
    Well then, what is the connection
[19:25] ---
    between overcoming your hemophobia
[19:27] ---
    and Naruto winning the bet
    he made with you?
[19:32] ---
    That's…
[19:34] ---
    Don't die… Don't die…
    Don't die…
[19:38] ---
    Don't die!
[19:39] ---
    Don't die!
[19:41] ---
    Naruto's tenacious life force and…
[19:47] ---
    Becoming the Hokage…
[19:49] ---
    – Becoming the Hokage is my dream.
    – Becoming the Hokage is my dream.
[19:52] ---
    That passionate will
    to become the Hokage…
[19:59] ---
    Once more… Just one last time…
[20:03] ---
    I just felt like betting
    on Naruto again.
[20:11] ---
    Are you telling me I went along
    with a silly bet with no odds?
[20:15] ---
    It's too late to complain.
[20:17] ---
    Why don't you just suck it up?
[20:19] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[20:21] ---
    I've been prepared…
[20:23] ---
    ever since the Allied Shinobi Force
    was formed.
[20:26] ---
    Oh, that's true.
[20:28] ---
    The First Hokage's pendant.
    Now that I want to see.
[20:31] ---
    C'mon and show it to me.
[20:33] ---
    I don't have it anymore.
[20:41] ---
    I think when the Nine Tails
    got called out…
[20:44] ---
    I ended up destroying it.
[20:46] ---
    Hey, hey…
    Wasn't it something important?
[20:49] ---
    It's okay.
[20:50] ---
    Granny and me…
[20:51] ---
    we keep that promise deep down
    in our hearts.
[20:57] ---
    Yo!
[20:58] ---
    Let's hurry!
[21:00] ---
    I'll bet everyone's waiting!
[22:37] ---
    You revel in killing.
    
    
[22:39] ---
    I hate to think that
    we're both called shinobi…
    
    
[22:42] ---
    How arrogant…
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Who gave you permission to
    wield the Executioner's Blade?
    
    
[22:46] ---
    That blade belongs to the Seven
    Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
    
    
[22:49] ---
    An outsider wielding it
    is impossible!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    I don't like it one bit.
    
    
[22:52] ---
    Going up against these two alone
    is going to be rough, but…
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Danger: Jinpachi and Kushimaru!"
    
    
[23:01] ---
    Looks like you're backed up
    against a wall, buddy!
    
    DANGER: JINPACHI AND KUSHIMARU
    
    
[23:03] ---
    DANGER: JINPACHI AND KUSHIMARU
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
