[00:18] ---
    Lady Hinata!
[00:20] ---
    Are you all right, Neji?
[00:22] ---
    My eyes have recovered
    considerably,
[00:24] ---
    but I still have
    a lot of blind spots.
[00:26] ---
    Please rest assured!
[00:27] ---
    Until your eyes heal completely,
    I'll protect you, Neji.
[00:31] ---
    Like you protected me back then.
[00:34] ---
    I protected you?
[00:37] ---
    Lady Tsunade had just
    become the Hokage…
[00:41] ---
    And Sasuke was
    still in the village.
[00:43] ---
    HYUGA
[00:59] ---
    Lady Hinata…
[01:01] ---
    N-Neji…
[01:03] ---
    I will be your training partner.
[01:06] ---
    Huh? But this is the start
    of Senbon Sparring.
[01:09] ---
    I'm aware of that.
[01:11] ---
    Senbon Sparring is an important ritual
    of the main family.
[01:15] ---
    During the summer
    of one's 13th year,
[01:17] ---
    one must drill daily until
    a thousand spars are achieved.
[01:19] ---
    Then the head of the family takes over
    as your sparring partner,
[01:22] ---
    and passes on secrets of the jutsu.
[01:24] ---
    That's why today,
    Father and I…
[01:26] ---
    Lord Hiashi has gone away on
    business regarding Lady Hanabi.
[01:31] ---
    Huh?
[01:32] ---
    The earliest he will return
    will be a month from now.
[01:35] ---
    I was told to be your training partner.
[01:39] ---
    That's so…
[01:43] ---
    Are you dissatisfied with me?
[01:45] ---
    N-No… I didn't mean it that way…
[01:51] ---
    Let's begin.
[01:52] ---
    R-Right!
[01:56] ---
    One!
[01:57] ---
    Right!
[02:07] ---
    Two!
[02:08] ---
    Right!
[02:17] ---
    Next!
[02:18] ---
    Right!
[02:23] ---
    Ten!
[02:24] ---
    Right!
[02:27] ---
    23!
[02:29] ---
    Right!
[02:33] ---
    36!
[02:35] ---
    Right!
[02:38] ---
    54!
[02:40] ---
    Right!
[02:41] ---
    HYUGA
    
    
[02:44] ---
    HYUGA
    
    75!
[02:45] ---
    HYUGA
    
    Right!
[02:49] ---
    93!
[02:56] ---
    Hinata!
[03:00] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:01] ---
    I didn't hit that hard.
[03:04] ---
    I'm kind of bruised all over.
[03:07] ---
    What are all those bruises?
[03:09] ---
    Oh, I was training…
[03:14] ---
    Are you training that hard?
[03:17] ---
    I've been training with Neji
    for a clan ritual.
[03:22] ---
    Is that so? It's tough growing up
    in a noble family, huh?
[03:26] ---
    If you're training so hard,
    I guess maybe you can't join us.
[03:31] ---
    You know about the fireworks display
    this coming weekend?
[03:34] ---
    A fireworks display?
[03:36] ---
    Yes! To honor Lady Tsunade
    on becoming the Fifth Hokage!
[03:40] ---
    I was thinking of going and
    wanted to ask if you'd join me.
[03:46] ---
    Truth be told,
[03:47] ---
    I was planning to sneak Sasuke out
    of the hospital,
[03:50] ---
    and go, just the two of us.
[03:52] ---
    But that guy insists on coming.
[03:56] ---
    Hey, Hinata!
[03:59] ---
    Naruto…?
[04:01] ---
    You know.
    Unless there's a partner for him,
[04:04] ---
    I won't have any time alone
    with Sasuke.
[04:08] ---
    A-A fireworks display with Naruto?
[04:14] ---
    Hey, Hinata!
    Are you going to come or not!
[04:20] ---
    A-Absolutely. I'm coming…
[04:32] ---
    What's with her?
    Did something happen?
[04:37] ---
    838!
[04:39] ---
    What's the matter?!
[04:41] ---
    Your chakra flow is
    all over the place!
[04:42] ---
    Sorry!
[04:43] ---
    You're too hung up on
    each individual jutsu!
[04:46] ---
    And on jutsu accuracy.
[04:48] ---
    It makes no sense if
    the overall flow is bad!
[04:51] ---
    Right!
[04:52] ---
    You respond,
    but are you really listening?
[04:55] ---
    Your side!
[04:57] ---
    Elbow!
[05:00] ---
    I juggled my schedule around
    to make time for you.
[05:04] ---
    I'm sorry, Neji…
[05:06] ---
    Stand up!
[05:07] ---
    Don't waste any more of my time.
[05:11] ---
    Yes!
[05:20] ---
    839!
[05:26] ---
    Gentle Fist!
[05:28] ---
    8 Trigrams!
    2 Palm! 4 Palm! 8 Palm! 16 Palm!
[05:32] ---
    32 Palm!
[05:38] ---
    8 Trigrams!
[05:41] ---
    64 Palms!
[05:49] ---
    Lady Hinata?
[05:52] ---
    Lady Hinata!
[05:54] ---
    Lady Hinata!
[07:27] ---
    The Heart's Eye
[07:33] ---
    It's eyestrain.
[07:35] ---
    Probably due to sudden and
    excessive use of her eyes.
[07:38] ---
    Will she recover?
[07:40] ---
    Of course. The Byakugan is
    not weak like that.
[07:45] ---
    With time, her eyes will recover
    on their own.
[07:50] ---
    Don't you have any idea?
[07:52] ---
    I don't have a clue!
[07:54] ---
    Hey!
[07:56] ---
    Hey, Neji!
[07:59] ---
    Hi!
[08:00] ---
    Excuse me, Neji.
[08:02] ---
    Have you seen Hinata?
[08:04] ---
    I haven't seen her around
    for a couple of days.
[08:07] ---
    You would know, right, Neji?
[08:09] ---
    I'm not Lady Hinata's bodyguard.
[08:12] ---
    We didn't say you were!
[08:14] ---
    We're just asking what's up
    with Hinata!
[08:18] ---
    Am I obligated to answer
    your questions?
[08:23] ---
    Oh yeah? Is that so?! Fine!
[08:26] ---
    Let's just go to Hinata's house, Sakura.
[08:31] ---
    Don't! Lady Hinata's recuperating!
[08:34] ---
    Recuperating?
[08:35] ---
    Did Hinata get hurt or something?
[08:37] ---
    She did tell me that
[08:39] ---
    you were helping her train
    for a clan ritual…
[08:43] ---
    Don't tell me…
[08:44] ---
    Did you injure Hinata?
[08:47] ---
    It was due to Lady Hinata's lack of skill.
    It wasn't my fault.
[08:51] ---
    You…!
[08:52] ---
    Naruto!
[08:53] ---
    You too, Neji.
    That's no way to talk!
[08:58] ---
    That means she won't be able
    to go to the fireworks display.
[09:01] ---
    Fireworks display?
[09:03] ---
    Huh? Don't you know?
[09:05] ---
    We're honoring Granny Tsunade
    this weekend with a fireworks show.
[09:09] ---
    So anyhow, on that day…
[09:11] ---
    I'm going on
    a date with Sakura—!
[09:15] ---
    Like I would go on a date with you!
[09:19] ---
    Hinata seemed really excited
    about it.
[09:22] ---
    Ridiculous!
[09:29] ---
    Sheesh!
[09:31] ---
    He's so inconsiderate.
[09:35] ---
    Huh? Sakura?
[09:37] ---
    Huh?
[09:39] ---
    Hey, Sakura, wait up!
[09:43] ---
    What am I going to do with him?
[09:45] ---
    Sakura!
[09:48] ---
    HYUGA
[10:39] ---
    Is someone there?
[10:46] ---
    I guess I'm just imagining it.
[10:58] ---
    It's going to take more time.
[11:00] ---
    How much more time?
[11:02] ---
    Don't be impatient.
    The main thing is that you rest.
[11:07] ---
    I see…
[11:14] ---
    Please wait, Doctor!
[11:18] ---
    That's Neji.
[11:20] ---
    Hide!
[11:22] ---
    Why are we hiding?
[11:24] ---
    It just seems like
    the right thing to do.
[11:27] ---
    Lady Hinata's eyes must
    heal by this weekend!
[11:33] ---
    Did Hinata injure her eyes?
[11:35] ---
    Lady Hinata was looking forward
    to the fireworks display.
[11:39] ---
    I want her to go,
    whatever it takes!
[11:41] ---
    Yes, but something like this is…
[11:47] ---
    If I only had some Eyebright…
[11:50] ---
    Eyebright? What is that?
[11:53] ---
    It's a rare medicinal plant and
[11:56] ---
    is said to be very effective
    for eyestrain.
[11:59] ---
    Eyebright only grows
    in secluded areas
[12:02] ---
    and is extremely difficult to find.
[12:05] ---
    That's right.
[12:07] ---
    I heard that someone saw it
    in the Valley of Judgment.
[12:11] ---
    The Valley of Judgment…
[12:13] ---
    Hey, don't even think about
    going to look for it.
[12:16] ---
    Even jonin get lost in
    the Valley of Judgment.
[12:19] ---
    If you go,
    you won't be able to return.
[12:22] ---
    If she rests quietly,
    she will recover.
[12:25] ---
    She just needs to be patient
    for a week or so.
[12:28] ---
    But one week is…!
[12:44] ---
    I figured you'd show up soon!
[12:47] ---
    Naruto… Sakura…
[12:49] ---
    You're going to
    the Valley of Judgment, aren't you?
[12:51] ---
    So you do have a soft spot, Neji!
[12:56] ---
    We didn't mean
    to eavesdrop, but…
[12:59] ---
    Right?
[13:00] ---
    Yeah, but we were right
    in front of Hinata's house
[13:02] ---
    and happened to hear everything.
[13:07] ---
    We'll come with you to
    get some Eyebright!
[13:10] ---
    No thanks!
[13:19] ---
    Do as you please!
[13:21] ---
    But don't expect me to help
    if you lag behind!
[13:23] ---
    As if! Damn it!
[13:25] ---
    Sheesh! Do something about
    that personality of yours!
[13:29] ---
    If you didn't go,
    we would've gone anyway.
[13:34] ---
    I want Hinata to see
    the pretty fireworks.
[13:38] ---
    I'm going to make her see,
[13:40] ---
    so that she can come and
    keep Naruto out of my way!
[13:54] ---
    What is this place?
[13:56] ---
    This awful mist.
[13:58] ---
    Will we even be able to find
    the medicinal plant in a place like this?
[14:01] ---
    Even jonin get lost in
    the Valley of Judgment.
[14:06] ---
    You two stay here.
[14:08] ---
    Since you two don't have the Byakugan,
    you'll just hinder me.
[14:11] ---
    Neji!
[14:13] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[14:15] ---
    Tying us up together so that
    we don't get separated in the mist.
[14:21] ---
    It's our red string…
[14:23] ---
    of destiny!
[14:25] ---
    Why you…!
[14:27] ---
    Okay, Sakura! Let's go!
[14:37] ---
    Does that medicinal plant
    really grow here?
[14:41] ---
    If I didn't have my Byakugan,
    I couldn't even walk through here.
[14:45] ---
    Huh?!
[14:48] ---
    No way… This is supposed to be
    a demilitarized zone.
[14:54] ---
    It must be someone very skilled
    to move through the mist so freely.
[14:58] ---
    Or is it someone adept
    with Visual Jutsu
[15:00] ---
    like the Byakugan or Sharingan?
[15:03] ---
    Naruto! Sakura!
[15:10] ---
    It's a nuisance!
    This string is a pain in the butt!
[15:13] ---
    Hurry and cut it off, Naruto!
[15:15] ---
    I'm never gonna let them cut the red string
    that ties us together, Sakura!
[15:19] ---
    Idiot, that's not what I meant!
[15:23] ---
    Oh no!
[15:24] ---
    8 Palms!
[15:26] ---
    Rotation!
[15:31] ---
    Neji!
[15:32] ---
    You saved us!
[15:34] ---
    It's too soon to celebrate.
[15:36] ---
    There's even more
    of the enemy now.
[15:38] ---
    No! The red string of destiny
    that binds me to Sakura!
[15:43] ---
    Neji, damn you!
[15:45] ---
    Isn't destiny something you reach for
    with your own hands?
[15:48] ---
    Huh?
[15:49] ---
    Naruto, you're the one
    who told me that.
[15:51] ---
    Don't tell me you're putting
    your faith on a piece of string?
[15:55] ---
    All right then!
[15:56] ---
    I'm going to reach for destiny
    with my own hands!
[16:01] ---
    That destiny will never happen.
[16:05] ---
    Sakura, punch Naruto!
[16:07] ---
    Cha!
[16:09] ---
    Naruto! Put out your fist to the left!
[16:13] ---
    All right!
[16:16] ---
    It's the first time my fist
    made contact with the enemy!
[16:20] ---
    I see… So that's it.
[16:34] ---
    I can't ward them off!
[16:35] ---
    Stop the fighting right there!
[16:41] ---
    Bushier Brow Sensei!
[16:45] ---
    Leaf! Hurricane Whirlwind!
[16:56] ---
    Lightning Blade!
[16:58] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[17:02] ---
    What are you two doing here?
[17:04] ---
    Huh? Surveillance.
[17:07] ---
    Surveillance?
[17:09] ---
    Well, it was a false alarm,
    so I guess it's okay to tell you.
[17:12] ---
    It's said that a medicinal plant
    that works well on eyestrain
[17:15] ---
    is found here in
    the Valley of Judgment.
[17:16] ---
    That's why we're—
[17:17] ---
    And Orochimaru could be after it too.
[17:20] ---
    Did you say Orochimaru?!
[17:21] ---
    Where? Where the hell is he?!
[17:23] ---
    Like I said, it was a false alarm.
[17:26] ---
    Huh? Alarm?
[17:28] ---
    Idiot! False.
    It was a false alarm.
[17:31] ---
    What they were worried
    about didn't happen!
[17:34] ---
    Oh, is that all?
[17:37] ---
    You know that Orochimaru
    is fixated on Visual Jutsu…
[17:39] ---
    especially the Sharingan.
[17:42] ---
    This medicinal plant would
    be extremely helpful
[17:44] ---
    in Visual Jutsu research…
[17:46] ---
    This came up at our meeting,
[17:48] ---
    so Guy and I came here
    for surveillance.
[17:53] ---
    And? What about you guys?
[17:57] ---
    Youth! Ah, this is what youth
    is all about!
[18:01] ---
    Your passionate devotion
    to your comrade!
[18:04] ---
    That is true friendship!
[18:05] ---
    I'm totally impressed with you!
[18:09] ---
    Bushier Brow Sensei…
[18:10] ---
    Your actions don't fit your words.
[18:14] ---
    Huh?
[18:16] ---
    Oh well, I guess we'll take our leave.
[18:18] ---
    But…
[18:19] ---
    Neji, you saw what
    they looked like, didn't you?
[18:25] ---
    What do you mean?
[18:27] ---
    Oh…
[18:29] ---
    They didn't…have eyes.
[18:33] ---
    It's said that fish that live
    in a world without light
[18:36] ---
    stop relying on sight,
    and discard their eyes.
[18:40] ---
    How long do you think
    it would take humans…
[18:42] ---
    to reach that point?
[18:45] ---
    A hundred years? A thousand?
[18:48] ---
    In any case, they adapted to
    this valley and have thrived.
[18:52] ---
    They probably can't survive
    outside this valley.
[18:55] ---
    You know whose valley this is,
    don't you, Neji?
[19:00] ---
    Yes.
[19:01] ---
    Fighting a futile battle to obtain
    medicine that will heal her eyes
[19:05] ---
    won't make Hinata happy at all.
[20:09] ---
    Back then,
    before the fireworks show,
[20:12] ---
    Naruto and Sakura
    came to tell me…
[20:17] ---
    what you went through
    to try to help me.
[20:22] ---
    So you knew.
[20:24] ---
    I've always wanted to say this.
[20:27] ---
    I've wanted to tell you…
[20:30] ---
    Thank you, Neji!
[20:35] ---
    Okay, let's go, Neji!
[20:37] ---
    Compared to the Senbon Sparring,
    this is nothing!
[20:42] ---
    Sounds good!
[20:44] ---
    Show me just how much
    you have progressed since then!
[20:56] ---
    Until Naruto comes,
[20:57] ---
    we'll do everything we can
    to protect this place.
[22:39] ---
    You're Kabuto Yakushi.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    Are you still an enemy
    of the Leaf?
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Right now,
    you're on the same side as me.
    
    
[22:45] ---
    You're a pawn that I resurrected.
    
    
[22:48] ---
    Just…what am I?
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I would say, the body count
    has increased by now.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    It will soon be your turn.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Fade into the Moonlight"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    FADE INTO THE MOONLIGHT
    
    This is…war.
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
