    The Soul Living
    Inside the Puppet
    
    
    
[02:08] ---
    Retreat… Retreat!
[02:30] ---
    The Chakra Threads of world-class
    Puppet Masters can control humans
[02:33] ---
    as well as their puppets.
[02:37] ---
    But once the Chakra Thread is cut,
    there's no harm to the human.
[02:42] ---
    I'm indebted to you.
[02:44] ---
    I was about to slay an ally.
[02:47] ---
    There's a special way to fight
    between Puppet Users.
[02:51] ---
    And I'm the only one here
    who can do this…
[02:55] ---
    Right, Granny Chiyo?!
[02:57] ---
    Kankuro…
[03:06] ---
    Sasori…
[03:10] ---
    I erred in everything I did…
[03:14] ---
    But after meeting Naruto,
[03:16] ---
    I was able to do
    the right thing in the end.
[03:19] ---
    I thought I died,
[03:21] ---
    leaving some hope
    for a bright future.
[03:25] ---
    But…
[03:26] ---
    As I stand before you,
[03:29] ---
    I can't help
    but regret the past… Sasori…
[03:44] ---
    When are mother and father
    coming back?
[03:50] ---
    Well, they'll be gone a little bit longer…
[03:55] ---
    I see…
[04:06] ---
    I couldn't bring myself
    to tell him the truth…
[04:11] ---
    Sasori was too young to know
    about his parents' deaths…
[04:48] ---
    Sasori…
[05:15] ---
    Sasori had already figured out,
    that his parents were dead.
[05:30] ---
    Sasori! How've you been?
[05:32] ---
    Huh?
[05:38] ---
    Granny Chiyo said
    your last puppet was a huge hit.
[05:42] ---
    Some day, I want to be
    a shinobi like you,
[05:45] ---
    where everyone praises my puppets…
[05:49] ---
    Hey! Are you listening?!
[05:52] ---
    Hey, it's me!
[05:54] ---
    Komushi has come
    to see you!
[06:00] ---
    Hey! Answer me!
[06:11] ---
    H-Hey, I didn't mean it.
    I'm sorry.
[06:15] ---
    But you're treating me worse
    than a puppet.
[06:21] ---
    Oh well, I might as well wait
    until hell freezes over
[06:23] ---
    to get a response from you.
[06:27] ---
    I have a message from Granny Chiyo.
[06:29] ---
    She wants the puppets
    she ordered sooner…
[06:31] ---
    The Crow, Black Ant and Salamander…
[06:34] ---
    Oh…
[06:38] ---
    Everything she requested is done.
[06:41] ---
    Oh, so these are your new creations.
[06:43] ---
    Man, that was quick…
[06:44] ---
    I don't like to keep people waiting.
[06:47] ---
    Yeah… That's true.
[06:58] ---
    Hey… That's amazing.
[07:01] ---
    They look so human!
[07:12] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot.
[07:15] ---
    About your new creation…
[07:17] ---
    She asked me to inquire about
    the poison for the Crow puppet.
[07:23] ---
    Huh?
[07:28] ---
    These are all rare medicinal plants!
[07:31] ---
    You're gonna make
    a mixture out of these?
[07:35] ---
    This is going to require permission.
[07:38] ---
    All right!
[07:39] ---
    I, Komushi, will negotiate this!
    So give me some time.
[07:42] ---
    I don't want to wait.
[07:44] ---
    I guess not. Then let's go!
[07:55] ---
    It's me, Komushi!
[07:57] ---
    What is it?
[07:59] ---
    Oh… Did you relay my message…?
[08:06] ---
    Granny Chiyo, Sasori has a request.
[08:09] ---
    What is it?
[08:17] ---
    There's not much I can say
[08:19] ---
    without knowing the blending ratio
    of the mixture.
[08:29] ---
    But since this is coming from you,
    I have no issues with it.
[08:33] ---
    I'll clear it with
    the Pharmaceuticals Division.
[08:36] ---
    I'm in the middle of research,
    so you may leave.
[08:41] ---
    Man, you've got it made, Sasori.
[08:44] ---
    You're still young, but you're already
    contributing to the village.
[08:48] ---
    Granny Chiyo must be
    so proud of you.
[08:53] ---
    Are you listening to me?
[08:54] ---
    Granny Chiyo is always
    worried about you.
[08:58] ---
    I can't wait to be acknowledged
    as a full-fledged shinobi…
[09:02] ---
    just like your puppets!
[09:05] ---
    My own parents still treat me
    like a kid!
[09:08] ---
    They tell me I'm not suited
    to being a shinobi…
[09:11] ---
    But this time,
    I was assigned to border security.
[09:15] ---
    It's just guard duty,
    but if I can prove myself…
[09:18] ---
    Komushi!
[09:19] ---
    What have you been doing
    at this hour?!
[09:21] ---
    I was so worried!
[09:22] ---
    Wait… Cut it out,
    you're embarrassing me!
[09:24] ---
    I'm going to be assigned border
    security missions from now on…
[09:27] ---
    You can turn down things
    like missions!
[09:29] ---
    I'll take care of you
    for the rest of my life.
[09:31] ---
    I want you to stop it!
[09:43] ---
    Thanks, Sasori!
[09:45] ---
    I heard that you were injured on duty?
[09:49] ---
    I messed up.
[09:51] ---
    But…
[09:53] ---
    That's…a puppet arm!
[09:56] ---
    That's not all!
[10:02] ---
    I feel stronger than before.
[10:04] ---
    And it fits perfectly.
[10:07] ---
    It feels like it's always been
    a part of my body.
[10:25] ---
    How could you ingest
    your own poison?!
[10:30] ---
    Granny Chiyo…
[10:31] ---
    He's… He's not to blame.
[10:35] ---
    I'm the one…who messed up…
[10:40] ---
    Where is Sasori?!
[10:42] ---
    Do we have the blending ratio
    of the poison yet?
[10:53] ---
    Please heal him…
[10:55] ---
    Please heal him…
[10:57] ---
    Heal him! Please!
[11:00] ---
    You attached his right arm too, right?
[11:03] ---
    Then his left arm can be…
[11:06] ---
    His legs, his body…
[11:08] ---
    You can even heal his soul, can't you?!
[11:11] ---
    Give him back to me!
[11:13] ---
    Heal my Komushi and
    give him back to me!
[11:21] ---
    It was a painful accident.
[11:24] ---
    Komushi was my link to Sasori…
[11:28] ---
    Not only that…
[11:29] ---
    He was Sasori's only friend.
[11:36] ---
    How has Sasori been lately?
[11:39] ---
    The same as usual.
[11:41] ---
    He's been working on
    small puppet parts recently.
[11:44] ---
    And they look like
    real human hands…
[11:50] ---
    Huh? What?
[11:52] ---
    Impossible. It has to be a coincidence…
[11:56] ---
    But something is…
[12:03] ---
    I hope my fears are ungrounded!
[12:14] ---
    I don't like to make people wait.
[12:17] ---
    From what I can see,
[12:18] ---
    I thought there'd be
    a little more progress.
[12:21] ---
    Sasori! What are you doing?!
[12:24] ---
    You barely got it to
    the standard size…
[12:27] ---
    Sasori!
[12:36] ---
    It's Komushi?!
[13:01] ---
    As requested…
[13:03] ---
    The model is finished.
[13:17] ---
    I wasn't able to be at his side
    when he was suffering the most.
[13:21] ---
    When he desperately needed love…
[13:24] ---
    No, I made excuses and
    distanced myself from him.
[13:29] ---
    I'm the one who distorted him.
[13:33] ---
    I'm sorry…
[13:34] ---
    Much good it does at this point…
[13:36] ---
    An apology from a reanimated corpse
    to the puppet that you are now!
[14:05] ---
    Your technique is as sharp as ever.
[14:08] ---
    But you don't have any fighting spirit!
[14:10] ---
    I guess Puppet Masters aren't good
    at being a puppet, eh?
[14:14] ---
    Inexperienced ones shouldn't act
    as if they know….
[14:18] ---
    Don't make light of
    the Reanimation Jutsu.
[14:22] ---
    If the user of the jutsu gets serious…
[14:27] ---
    Oh, speak of the devil!
[14:37] ---
    Reverse Secret White Technique…
[14:38] ---
    Esematsu's Ten Puppets!
[14:54] ---
    What?!
[14:56] ---
    Wires?
[14:59] ---
    Wha—?!
[15:14] ---
    Sasori…as well as
    Sasori's Mother and Father…
[15:17] ---
    I recovered and repaired them.
[15:35] ---
    Sasori told me…
[15:39] ---
    that he was a human
    who wasn't able to become a puppet.
[15:43] ---
    An incomplete puppet with
    a core that was living flesh…
[15:48] ---
    Do you think he wanted to
    be closer to his parents
[15:50] ---
    who had become puppets?
[15:52] ---
    How could anyone want to
    become a puppet without a soul?
[15:57] ---
    Possibly…
[16:00] ---
    But you know…
[16:02] ---
    I can sense the souls of
    Sasori's mother and father
[16:05] ---
    inside these puppets.
[16:07] ---
    I'd like to believe that
    Sasori felt it as well.
[16:13] ---
    Granny Chiyo said…
[16:15] ---
    that Sasori was able to see
    his mother and father's final attack.
[16:21] ---
    But for some reason,
    he didn't counter it.
[16:24] ---
    Yeah… It must've reached him.
[16:27] ---
    The cry of his parents' souls.
[16:32] ---
    I admit I'm inexperienced.
[16:35] ---
    But I'm not so ignorant
    that I couldn't feel
[16:37] ---
    your regret and sadness
    through your Chakra Threads.
[16:42] ---
    You say the first thing
    that pops up in your mind!
[16:45] ---
    That's why you're inexperienced!
[16:47] ---
    There are things one wants
    to atone for, but can't.
[16:51] ---
    Besides, I'm a corpse.
[16:53] ---
    There's nothing I can do!
[16:57] ---
    Sasori entrusted me…
[17:02] ---
    I entrust you with the Father
    and Mother puppets.
[17:06] ---
    Sasori entrusted you…?!
[17:09] ---
    Puppets that only Sasori could create.
[17:12] ---
    Their workings are so delicate…
    all the way down to the fingertips.
[17:18] ---
    So he shares a love and
    passion for puppets,
[17:21] ---
    just like Sasori did?
[17:24] ---
    Sasori's soul dwells in
    these two puppets!
[17:27] ---
    And his love instilled the souls
    of his parents in them too!
[17:34] ---
    Sasori, at least, was able to feel it.
[17:38] ---
    Puppets with souls?!
[17:40] ---
    That's not all, Granny Chiyo…
[17:43] ---
    The love you gave to
    his Father and Mother puppets
[17:45] ---
    became a part of their souls.
[17:48] ---
    Huh?
[17:49] ---
    Sasori was aware of that.
[17:52] ---
    And he gave them all to me…
[17:55] ---
    Rather, he entrusted them to me
[17:57] ---
    for future generations
    of the shinobi world.
[17:59] ---
    Passing it on is our duty too.
[18:03] ---
    Sasori did that…?
[18:05] ---
    Sure, I'm inexperienced and
    in your eyes, a stranger.
[18:10] ---
    But my kid brother…
[18:11] ---
    Gaara received your soul
    and came back to life.
[18:14] ---
    So I'm not a stranger at all.
[18:17] ---
    And I can sense it through
    the Chakra Threads.
[18:20] ---
    Sasori and his mother and father…
[18:22] ---
    The family's thoughts, their love…
[18:24] ---
    Their souls are saying…
[18:27] ---
    "Please stop Granny Chiyo!"
[18:34] ---
    Family…
[18:35] ---
    Mother!
[18:37] ---
    It's only a family portrait.
    Don't be so stubborn.
[18:41] ---
    You fool! The meaning of
    the word "shinobi" is to be stealthy!
[18:44] ---
    I will not take a photo,
    to be put up as decoration…
[18:47] ---
    and have people say,
    "Oh, what a fine photo" at parties!
[18:52] ---
    W-We wouldn't go that far…
[18:54] ---
    Of course, you will!
[18:57] ---
    Granny Chiyo…
[18:58] ---
    Don't you want to take
    a photo with us?
[19:05] ---
    No… It's not that.
[19:09] ---
    What are we going to do with you?
[19:13] ---
    Oh, what are you doing?
[19:24] ---
    – Oh!
    – Hey!
[19:40] ---
    I will say though,
[19:41] ---
    they are in the hands
    of a fine puppeteer.
[20:03] ---
    Granny Chiyo!
[20:08] ---
    Just kidding!
[20:10] ---
    Playing Possum for real!
[20:17] ---
    Now then…
[20:19] ---
    Sasori left his Mother and Father
    to you as a present…
[20:22] ---
    I must leave you with something too.
[20:26] ---
    All I can give you now are
    my Secret Puppetry Techniques.
[20:31] ---
    Learn, by experiencing them firsthand!
[20:33] ---
    Hey, wait…!
[20:34] ---
    Secret White Technique!
    Army of Illusions!
[20:38] ---
    This is bad!
[20:46] ---
    When I was a kid,
    I begged you to train me.
[20:49] ---
    But you said you didn't care
    about the future of the village
[20:52] ---
    and totally ignored me!
[20:53] ---
    I guess I was young back then too!
[20:56] ---
    You were already
    an old hag by then!
[22:37] ---
    Did you say Omoi deserted
    the battlefield?!
[22:40] ---
    Is this true, Kakashi?
[22:42] ---
    Yes. Reports say he ran
    from his post
[22:46] ---
    after saying he needed
    to leave for a bit.
[22:49] ---
    Deserting one's post under
    enemy fire
[22:51] ---
    is considered a serious offense
    in the Hidden Cloud Village!
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Run, Omoi!"
[22:58] ---
    Damn it, Omoi,
    what are you thinking?!
[23:02] ---
    RUN, OMOI!
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
