**[01:32] ---**
*Night of the Crescent Moon*
**[01:53] ---**
I know how hard
this is for you, Yugao.
**[01:56] ---**
Even so, you're the one
for this mission.
**[02:00] ---**
Sukui…
**[02:01] ---**
It's cruel, I know.
**[02:03] ---**
But in order to reduce
the casualties on our side,
**[02:06] ---**
we need as much intel
on our enemy as possible.
**[02:08] ---**
It might even help us save lives.
**[02:13] ---**
Now go, this is an order.
**[02:24] ---**
You think she'll be all right?
**[02:26] ---**
This is going to be unpleasant.
**[02:34] ---**
They've erased their scent.
**[02:37] ---**
Having a Sensory-type was smart.
**[02:39] ---**
Yugao, can you pinpoint
the target?
**[02:44] ---**
They've moved,
detouring around the battleground
**[02:47] ---**
to the forest up ahead
at two o'clock.
**[02:49] ---**
If we go around,
we could confront them head on.
**[03:03] ---**
You've improved.
**[03:05] ---**
Not bad, huh?
**[03:07] ---**
I can get one out of two now.
**[03:10] ---**
Get real. It's more like
one out of three.
**[03:15] ---**
That's because
you're a Transparency Style.
**[03:17] ---**
But just you wait,
I'll catch up in no time.
**[03:20] ---**
Then I just have to
work harder so you can't.
**[03:23] ---**
You're wide open!
**[03:31] ---**
My mistake.
**[03:33] ---**
I won't let you
surpass me that easily.
**[03:36] ---**
Since I'm going to protect you.
**[03:46] ---**
Okay, before the fighting starts…
**[03:49] ---**
We should know about
who we're fighting.
**[03:52] ---**
Hayate Gekko is an expert
in the Hidden Leaf Sword Style.
**[03:56] ---**
He specializes in
the Transparency Jutsu.
**[03:58] ---**
He's highly skilled.
**[04:00] ---**
You want to avoid close combat.
**[04:03] ---**
Let's hurry!
**[04:06] ---**
That was boring.
I wanted to do more damage.
**[04:11] ---**
Are you kidding?
I'm sick of being used like this.
**[04:14] ---**
But we got to come back to life.
**[04:16] ---**
We should enjoy ourselves, right?
**[04:21] ---**
*To meet again like this…*
**[04:25] ---**
*But you could…*
**[04:26] ---**
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Are you dissing me, you bastard?!
**[04:31] ---**
They're coming.
**[04:40] ---**
Oh, I see…
**[04:41] ---**
This is what it means to
have a body that can't die.
**[04:43] ---**
This is pretty convenient.
**[04:45] ---**
Don't talk too soon!
**[04:53] ---**
A posse, eh?
**[04:55] ---**
That's more like it!
**[04:57] ---**
Two left…
**[04:59] ---**
I wish we could have stopped
at least one more.
**[05:03] ---**
That one disappeared quick…
**[05:05] ---**
This is perfect though.
**[05:07] ---**
Let's share the prey, fifty-fifty!
**[05:09] ---**
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[05:13] ---**
Please take care of that one!
**[05:15] ---**
Right!
**[05:23] ---**
You've come…
**[05:31] ---**
Get back.
**[05:33] ---**
Sorry, but you'll be going up
against me!
**[05:37] ---**
Earth Style: Flying Stones!
**[05:44] ---**
You're mine!
**[05:49] ---**
Please get back.
**[05:51] ---**
Then return that scroll!
**[06:02] ---**
What?!
**[06:11] ---**
Iou!
**[06:12] ---**
You should pay attention!
**[06:14] ---**
Go after him too.
**[06:26] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:27] ---**
I'm now an enemy of the Leaf…
and your enemy as well.
**[06:32] ---**
So I want you to stop me.
**[06:40] ---**
I don't want to hurt you… Please!
**[06:49] ---**
Yugao! Take this!
**[06:54] ---**
Kill me, Yugao!
**[07:07] ---**
I can't…
**[07:10] ---**
I just can't!
**[07:14] ---**
If you don't…
**[07:19] ---**
Yugao!
**[07:30] ---**
Cha!
**[07:34] ---**
That's all you got?
**[07:46] ---**
You're the only one left.
**[07:50] ---**
I have to go.
**[07:55] ---**
Wait!
**[07:56] ---**
Damn it!
**[08:02] ---**
Iou!
**[08:13] ---**
This is…!
**[08:21] ---**
Please bear with the pain.
I'm going to close the wound.
**[08:26] ---**
Iou can't continue on with the pursuit.
**[08:29] ---**
That goes for you too…
**[08:33] ---**
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
**[08:35] ---**
No.
**[08:37] ---**
But it was true then?
**[08:39] ---**
That…you can't fight.
**[08:44] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[08:46] ---**
I always dreamed about becoming
an ANBU Black Ops,
**[08:50] ---**
so I lost my head earlier…
**[08:52] ---**
I'm going to get some water.
**[09:11] ---**
Where are you going?
**[09:14] ---**
Hayate hasn't changed his course.
**[09:17] ---**
So you don't need my help
in pursuing him.
**[09:20] ---**
There's nothing I can do
even if I remained.
**[09:27] ---**
Why did you leave
the ANBU Black Ops?
**[09:33] ---**
Hayate was my lover.
**[09:37] ---**
At the time, we were training partners
in the Leaf Sword Style.
**[09:43] ---**
We honed our skills together.
**[09:53] ---**
There!
**[09:56] ---**
Impressive.
**[09:58] ---**
The Hokage himself certified
my Transparency Style.
**[10:01] ---**
Well, with my Sensory skills
and swordsmanship,
**[10:04] ---**
I was chosen for the ANBU.
**[10:10] ---**
But you're still lacking.
**[10:13] ---**
I'm almost there!
**[10:19] ---**
Hayate?
**[10:21] ---**
I suppose I should be happy
**[10:24] ---**
that your strength has
been acknowledged.
**[10:27] ---**
But the missions are risky,
far more dangerous than before.
**[10:31] ---**
Please, I want you to be careful.
**[10:41] ---**
I heard that…
**[10:42] ---**
members of the ANBU Black Ops
died at Hidden Leaf Hospital…!
**[10:44] ---**
I'll be fine. But…
**[10:48] ---**
They were killed by Kabuto Yakushi.
**[10:51] ---**
It seems he was Orochimaru's spy.
**[10:54] ---**
The one who was taking part
in the Chunin Exam?
**[10:57] ---**
He had us completely fooled.
**[10:59] ---**
But going after Sasuke
doesn't explain their actions.
**[11:06] ---**
Without a doubt,
they're up to no good.
**[11:11] ---**
So we must learn more
about their movements.
**[11:22] ---**
It's too dangerous.
**[11:24] ---**
He held his own against Kakashi.
**[11:28] ---**
But someone has to go.
**[11:30] ---**
And with my Tracking Jutsu,
I'm the ideal candidate.
**[11:34] ---**
But…
**[11:37] ---**
I'm off.
**[11:50] ---**
Hayate Gekko has been killed.
**[11:53] ---**
– What?!
– Oh no…
**[11:59] ---**
No…
**[12:02] ---**
Not Hayate?
**[12:04] ---**
He was found on the outskirts
of Kikyo Castle.
**[12:09] ---**
That's…
**[12:15] ---**
*The destruction of the Leaf Village*
*happened a month later…*
**[13:02] ---**
*Hayate, I'll avenge you.*
**[13:06] ---**
*It was my way of memorializing Hayate…*
**[13:09] ---**
*So I fought and I fought…*
**[13:13] ---**
*But when the fighting ended…*
**[13:16] ---**
*My emotions that had been stretched*
*so thin…just snapped.*
**[13:32] ---**
*I couldn't even hold*
*a sword anymore.*
**[13:43] ---**
Hayate and I were connected
through fencing.
**[13:47] ---**
Inevitably, a sword reminds me
of his death.
**[13:52] ---**
Yugao…
**[13:55] ---**
How can I kill him?
**[13:57] ---**
How can I go through his death
all over again?
**[14:01] ---**
Still, I cannot let you go…
and leave behind the injured.
**[14:08] ---**
Am I right?
**[14:10] ---**
I understand a little of
what you're going through…
**[14:13] ---**
I couldn't fight the one
I used to love.
**[14:17] ---**
But you must see this through.
**[14:21] ---**
Sakura…
**[14:24] ---**
Kakashi Sensei told us…
**[14:26] ---**
"This jutsu is unforgivable."
**[14:28] ---**
To trample on a person's death…
to trample on our memories of them…
**[14:32] ---**
I feel the same way!
**[14:46] ---**
Don't you have to go?
**[14:49] ---**
Yokaze…
**[14:51] ---**
I'm sorry if I'm being rude.
**[14:53] ---**
But that person named Hayate…
**[14:55] ---**
seemed like he wanted you
to stop him.
**[15:16] ---**
*Yugao…?*
**[15:19] ---**
*Just call on me, Hayate…*
*and I'll come running.*
**[15:22] ---**
*When things are really tough…*
**[15:23] ---**
*If you need me,*
*I promise to save you!*
**[15:28] ---**
*Then let's make a promise!*
*With the moon as our witness…*
**[15:31] ---**
*I swear to you,*
*and you swear to me…*
**[15:34] ---**
*That we will love each other*
*above all else, and protect each other.*
**[15:51] ---**
I'll be fine. Our reinforcements
will be here shortly.
**[16:28] ---**
Please stop, Hayate Gekko.
**[16:31] ---**
You're…Sakura Haruno, right?
**[16:37] ---**
You've become a fine shinobi.
**[16:41] ---**
I don't want to kill you.
**[16:42] ---**
And I can't let you go.
**[16:44] ---**
I can't let you have that scroll!
**[17:03] ---**
I won't get into your line of attack!
**[17:09] ---**
Right there!
**[17:12] ---**
Where'd he go?
**[17:17] ---**
Please run away!
**[17:32] ---**
Yugao…
**[17:41] ---**
I'm here.
**[17:43] ---**
I'm sorry I'm late.
**[17:46] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:48] ---**
I'll assist.
**[17:49] ---**
No, call the Sealing Corps.
**[17:52] ---**
Killing him won't stop him.
**[17:58] ---**
Right!
**[18:02] ---**
– Dance of the Crescent Moon!
– Dance of the Crescent Moon!
**[18:29] ---**
Yugao…
**[18:32] ---**
Hayate…
**[18:36] ---**
Moonlit Night…
**[18:42] ---**
Secret Sword, Tsukikage!
**[18:53] ---**
Like you said, you've gotten better.
**[18:58] ---**
It wasn't for something like this.
**[19:00] ---**
I regret…
**[19:02] ---**
making that promise.
**[19:07] ---**
You're wrong.
**[19:09] ---**
I wondered what was taking
so long.
**[19:12] ---**
Hurry up and do your work,
will you?
**[19:19] ---**
I'm being called…
**[19:21] ---**
Is he taking my consciousness too?!
**[19:38] ---**
Hayate…
**[19:41] ---**
This is pitiful, but…
**[19:44] ---**
I'm really doing my best.
**[19:46] ---**
Yugao!
**[19:51] ---**
Goodbye, Yugao.
**[20:05] ---**
The moon always changes shape.
**[20:08] ---**
A promise made on something like
that is bound to get distorted.
**[20:13] ---**
That's how man sees the moon.
**[20:16] ---**
Whatever the shape or name,
the moon will always be the moon…
**[20:20] ---**
That will never change.
**[20:34] ---**
Yokaze and Iou
have been rescued.
**[20:37] ---**
I see. That's good.
**[20:40] ---**
Yugao…
**[20:41] ---**
In the end…
**[20:43] ---**
he protected me.
**[20:47] ---**
Thank you…and…
**[20:51] ---**
goodbye…
**[20:53] ---**
Hayate.
**[22:37] ---**
So, who is he?
**[22:39] ---**
It seems he's a reanimated samurai.
He's really strong!
**[22:43] ---**
Samurai?
**[22:45] ---**
Retreat, you shinobi!
**[22:46] ---**
Old Man? Is that you,
Old Man Tatewaki?
**[22:49] ---**
Is that you, Naruto?
You were alive?
**[22:53] ---**
