[00:01] ---
    Tenchi Bridge
[00:43] ---
    I don't sense the presence of
    anyone around the Tenchi Bridge...
[00:46] ---
    I guess that means there won't
    be any Akatsuki ambush, huh...?
[00:50] ---
    All right! Then let's proceed
    as planned.
[00:54] ---
    Right!
[00:58] ---
    Naruto.
[01:00] ---
    Could you take this and
    hold it towards me?
[01:09] ---
    All right, that's good.
    Hold it towards me.
[01:14] ---
    Wood Style: Transformation!
[01:34] ---
    So? Did it turn out okay?
[01:38] ---
    Yes, it did!
[01:39] ---
    You look like Sasori's puppet
    Hiruko in every way.
[01:43] ---
    Now I want to adjust the voice.
    Let me know when it sounds right.
[01:49] ---
    Yes, sir!
[02:04] ---
    Oh!
    That's it. That's the voice.
[02:08] ---
    Then we're going to start
    the operation, okay?
[02:12] ---
    Your tone is too polite.
[02:14] ---
    You need to sound more violent
    or surly or something...
[02:19] ---
    Oh...That's right.
[02:22] ---
    I'm irritable, and hate waiting
    and being kept waiting.
[02:28] ---
    Okay, we're starting the operation!
[02:31] ---
    Right-right.
    That's what he was like!
[02:35] ---
    Okay, our opponent should be
    on the alert. We'll split up now!
[02:41] ---
    Observe teamwork at all times!
    Especially you, Naruto!
[02:45] ---
    Don't be jumping out before
    I give the signal!
[02:50] ---
    Let's go!
[03:06] ---
    Okay...Time to go.
[03:42] ---
    The wind's strong. This should...
[03:48] ---
    Sakura...
[04:28] ---
    Yeah, this spot should be okay.
[05:00] ---
    It's almost noon...
[05:03] ---
    That spy jerk...isn't he here yet?
[05:14] ---
    Is that him?
[07:08] ---
    The Tenchi Bridge
    
    
    
[07:35] ---
    Here he comes.
[07:55] ---
    *At midday in ten days,
    go to the Tenchi Bridge
[07:59] ---
    *located in
    the Village Hidden in the Grass!
[08:02] ---
    *I've got a spy working as one
    of Orochimaru's subordinates...
[08:07] ---
    *I was supposed to
    rendezvous...with him...there...
[09:02] ---
    That's him, huh...?
[09:18] ---
    *Captain Yamato...
    I hope you do okay...
[09:39] ---
    It's been a long time, Lord Sasori.
[09:53] ---
    He's...
[09:58] ---
    It's been five years, hasn't it?
[10:08] ---
    Kabuto Yakushi...
[10:11] ---
    Were you followed...?
[10:19] ---
    We're okay...
[10:22] ---
    How're you doing?
[10:25] ---
    I've still got the strange sensation...
[10:27] ---
    from when I remembered who I was
    after your Jutsu broke...
[10:34] ---
    I still feel heavy-headed...
[10:37] ---
    Him again...?!
[10:39] ---
    Who would've thought...
    the Akatsuki spy was Kabuto.
[10:45] ---
    I've got some questions for you.
[10:47] ---
    I don't have much time,
    so please keep it short.
[10:51] ---
    I risked my life to get here
    without Orochimaru finding out.
[10:58] ---
    I want information about
[10:59] ---
    the location of his hideout
    and Sasuke.
[11:06] ---
    There are several hideouts.
[11:08] ---
    We move to
    a different hideout each week
[11:11] ---
    so as not to get discovered.
[11:14] ---
    Of course there are hideouts,
[11:16] ---
    not just in the Village Hidden
    in the Sound, but in other lands as well.
[11:18] ---
    Spies for Orochimaru infiltrate
    and act as informers.
[11:23] ---
    But there are all sorts of
    means of transport,
[11:26] ---
    so they're not easily tracked...
[11:28] ---
    Where is it now?
[11:30] ---
    We're now in a hideout
[11:32] ---
    on a small island on
    a lake to the north.
[11:35] ---
    We'll be moving again in three days.
[11:38] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha is there as well.
[11:48] ---
    The sound of the wind is so loud
    I can't hear anything.
[11:52] ---
    You idiot! That's why we were
    able to get this close.
[11:57] ---
    The wind blows away the noise and
    smell, so we can sit here unnoticed.
[12:05] ---
    By the way...
[12:18] ---
    Oh...it's just a wild rabbit.
[13:17] ---
    By the way...
[13:19] ---
    About what you ordered me to do,
    Lord Sasori...
[13:24] ---
    Uh oh...
[13:26] ---
    *I still had a few more things
    I wanted to ask him
[13:28] ---
    while I had the chance, but...
[13:30] ---
    *I'll be discovered if the conversation
    continues any further...
[13:35] ---
    Even after his reincarnation,
[13:37] ---
    Orochimaru uses a Jutsu
    to apply a protector
[13:40] ---
    to the cellular specimens
    from his discarded body...
[13:42] ---
    And therefore I was unable
    to analyze the cellular data.
[13:47] ---
    I see...
[13:52] ---
    What's he doing?!
    He should just grab him!
[13:57] ---
    His opponent is Kabuto.
[13:59] ---
    Being overly cautious is just fine.
    It's all over if he gets away, right?
[14:06] ---
    But...
[14:07] ---
    The spy could get suspicious
    if he's too cautious...
[14:11] ---
    and the timing to capture him
    will get thrown off.
[14:14] ---
    We'll...
[14:16] ---
    just have to believe in
    Captain Yamato about that...
[14:28] ---
    Now, please hand over
    the item in question immediately.
[14:32] ---
    I can't be hanging around here
    any longer.
[14:39] ---
    If it's discovered that I'm here
    with you like this...
[14:43] ---
    I'll be killed.
[14:45] ---
    Okay...
[14:48] ---
    I can't hold out any longer...
[14:49] ---
    *I just have to capture him
    here and now!
[14:54] ---
    That conversation sounds interesting.
[14:58] ---
    Would you guys let me
    join in as well?
[15:03] ---
    He was followed!
[15:07] ---
    Orochimaru!
[15:10] ---
    That's...?
[15:24] ---
    If you hadn't pulled out
    a Kunai Knife,
[15:26] ---
    I wouldn't have been able
    to get away before I noticed.
[15:31] ---
    *It looks like he's
    misunderstood nicely...
[15:34] ---
    *I guess I still haven't been
    discovered for now...
[15:38] ---
    *But...now that Orochimaru
    has shown up...
[15:42] ---
    What should I do?
[15:52] ---
    That outfit...sure takes me back...
[15:56] ---
    Sasori...
[15:58] ---
    Did you follow Kabuto?
[16:01] ---
    Oh... I just thought I'd thank you.
[16:05] ---
    This kid you sent to me...
    has come in very handy.
[16:13] ---
    The number of human subjects
    necessary for the development
[16:16] ---
    of one new Jutsu is over a hundred...
[16:21] ---
    Thanks to this kid's Medical Ninjutsu,
[16:23] ---
    I've been able to reuse
    test subjects several times.
[16:30] ---
    There's been a great shortage
    of them, you see...
[16:34] ---
    What do we do?!
[16:35] ---
    We just have to stand by until
    the Captain gives us instructions.
[16:42] ---
    *It would probably be
    impossible for me
[16:43] ---
     to take on Orochimaru alone...
[16:47] ---
    *But even if I can stop Orochimaru
    by working together with Kabuto...
[16:50] ---
    *he'll find out immediately that
    I'm not Sasori by my fighting style...
[16:55] ---
    Even so, if I call those three...
[16:58] ---
    *then Kabuto will find out
    who I am
[17:01] ---
     *and it will become difficult
    to capture him...
[17:04] ---
    *Either I have to immediately call
    the three and defeat both of them...
[17:07] ---
    or retreat as is without calling them...
[17:11] ---
    I'll have to do one or the other...
[17:29] ---
    Have I been discovered?
[17:30] ---
    No... that's not it...
[17:32] ---
    What's the meaning of this?!
[17:36] ---
    Multiple Striking Shadow Snake!
[17:53] ---
    This is a Substitution created
    with the Wood Style Ninjutsu...
[17:58] ---
    You... could it be...?
[18:02] ---
    Lord Orochimaru.
    Is this Sasori's real body?
[18:07] ---
    No... It isn't...
[18:09] ---
    Kabuto... you didn't know
    his real face
[18:13] ---
    even though you were
    his subordinate?
[18:17] ---
    He was a broody guy
    who always stayed hidden
[18:20] ---
    inside his puppets, after all...
[18:23] ---
    What's the meaning of this...?!
[18:25] ---
    Kabuto... you were supposed
    to be an Akatsuki spy...
[18:29] ---
    Weren't you caught in one
    of Sasori's Jutsu all this time?!
[18:33] ---
    Lord Orochimaru...broke that Jutsu
    for me ages ago...
[18:39] ---
    I can't believe you went
    to the other side
[18:42] ---
    pretending to be caught
    in one of Sasori's Jutsu...
[18:44] ---
    Did you get caught in one
    of Orochimaru's Jutsu...?
[18:48] ---
    No... that's not it.
[18:50] ---
    I just empathize with
    Lord Orochimaru's ideas.
[18:56] ---
    By the way, who are you?
[18:59] ---
    The plan was to take
    care of Sasori.
[19:02] ---
    But something has gone
    quite wrong.
[19:03] ---
    Kabuto... I'll tell you
    about this kid later...
[19:09] ---
    More importantly...
[19:10] ---
    Why don't you call the three
    little mice behind you over here?
[19:18] ---
    *So he's seen through
    everything, huh...?
[19:24] ---
    There's the signal!
[19:30] ---
    You again, huh...?
[19:36] ---
    I've seen that face often...
[19:38] ---
    And it looks like
    the Nine-Tails kid's here, too...
[19:41] ---
    Maybe I'll play with you guys a little.
[19:49] ---
    Let's see who's gotten stronger,
    you...or Sasuke.
[21:37] ---
    You're starting to become more like
    a Jinchuriki aren't you, Naruto.
[21:42] ---
    That's...!
[21:43] ---
    What kind of... Chakra is that?!
[21:45] ---
    The air stings....
[21:46] ---
    There's no mistake.
    The Nine-Tail's Cloak...!
[21:49] ---
    That's the Jinchuriki's power?
[21:51] ---
    I can tell just by the feel of it.
[21:53] ---
    This...This horrible Chakra...
[21:56] ---
    It's not a Chakra quality
    that can be controlled!
[21:58] ---
    So this is Naruto Uzumaki's...
    The Nine-Tail's power...!
[22:03] ---
