[01:30] ---
As a Taijutsu User
[01:35] ---
Shira has almost no skill for
ninjutsu or genjutsu…
[01:42] ---
Shira and I are alike…
[01:45] ---
We're shinobi who
can only perform taijutsu.
[01:49] ---
So you knew.
[01:56] ---
I realized it yesterday
when we exchanged punches.
[02:04] ---
Those who are skilled in ninjutsu
and genjutsu may not notice
[02:08] ---
that slight, yet unique difference.
[02:10] ---
I sensed that he was like me.
[02:12] ---
Since you know that much,
let me explain.
[02:15] ---
In Hidden Sand Village,
not even the previous Kazekage
[02:18] ---
would allow people like Shira
to become shinobi.
[02:22] ---
But that's—! Even a great taijutsu user
like Shira?!
[02:26] ---
That's right. That's why until just recently…
[02:30] ---
SHINOBI ACADEMY
Shira wasn't allowed to attend the Academy
and was treated like an outsider.
[02:39] ---
Hey! What're you staring at?
You can't even use ninjutsu!
[02:45] ---
Go away! Your uselessness is contagious!
[02:58] ---
But Shira refused to give up
and believed in himself.
[03:25] ---
He kept training all by himself
and honed his taijutsu.
[03:29] ---
Then, the times changed…
[03:31] ---
The seat was empty for a while
[03:33] ---
after the Fourth Kazekage
passed away…
[03:36] ---
but eventually Lord Gaara
became the Fifth Kazekage.
[03:39] ---
Those who knew
Lord Gaara's past
[03:42] ---
spread rumors that
our village was doomed,
[03:44] ---
but that wasn't the case.
[03:50] ---
Lord Gaara was receptive
to other people's opinions…
[03:53] ---
and one by one, he did away with
the previous Kazekage's practices
[03:56] ---
and instituted reforms.
[04:02] ---
That's Lord Gaara?
[04:04] ---
Yeah. He's the younger brother
of Temari,
[04:07] ---
the girl we used to play with
when we were kids.
[04:17] ---
What happened to the huge boulder
that was used to prevent sand erosion?
[04:22] ---
Well…
[04:34] ---
Bring me the one
who destroyed this.
[04:43] ---
Are you Shira?
[04:44] ---
You knew that boulder
was placed there
[04:47] ---
to protect Hidden Sand Village.
[04:48] ---
Why did you destroy it?
[04:50] ---
I am very sorry.
[04:52] ---
I had no intention of
destroying it.
[04:55] ---
To me, that boulder was
an invaluable training partner.
[05:00] ---
Are you saying you destroyed it
during training?
[05:02] ---
I was told you are not
a student at the Academy.
[05:06] ---
No.
[05:08] ---
I don't have any skills in
ninjutsu or genjutsu.
[05:12] ---
According to the village rules,
[05:14] ---
someone like me is unfit
to be a shinobi.
[05:18] ---
So you trained all by yourself?
[05:23] ---
Interesting…
[05:34] ---
I want to see which
is more valuable…
[05:37] ---
That boulder or you!
[06:05] ---
Your fist is splendid!
[06:08] ---
Please forgive me!
[06:10] ---
I can't begin to imagine
the effort it took for you,
[06:13] ---
banned from the Academy, to hone
your skills to this level.
[06:18] ---
I hereby abolish the rule established
by my predecessor.
[06:21] ---
Shira, you will be a shinobi.
[06:28] ---
I once met someone just
like you in Hidden Leaf Village.
[06:38] ---
Over here!
[06:47] ---
Through sheer perseverance,
he has become a fine shinobi.
[06:52] ---
Shira, I predict you will become
as good a shinobi as he.
[07:02] ---
That's how Shira finally
became a shinobi.
[07:05] ---
Not only that…
[07:08] ---
Lord Gaara recognized
Shira's character and
[07:10] ---
chose him to be
his personal taijutsu coach.
[07:12] ---
To be named the Kazekage's
taijutsu coach is a huge advancement!
[07:16] ---
But this displeased many.
[07:21] ---
When someone who until just recently
was below your rank
[07:26] ---
attains great success,
people become jealous…
[07:29] ---
I understand now.
[07:31] ---
Changing people's perceptions
takes time.
[07:34] ---
I see, so that's why Shira
said that to me…
[07:39] ---
I don't know what it is you sensed,
[07:42] ---
but dwelling on the misfortunes
of birth is meaningless.
[07:46] ---
Because, for all one's flaws
and suffering, we have just one life.
[07:50] ---
Shira, you persevered
so much, and yet…
[07:55] ---
I'll never forgive the ones
who did this to you!
[08:00] ---
Lee!
[08:01] ---
That idiot… Don't tell me he's going to…
[08:08] ---
I wasn't good at using
my chakra…
[08:10] ---
so everyone belittled me…
[08:14] ---
Stupid! There's no way
you'll become a ninja!
[08:18] ---
There's no way a chump
who can't even use ninjutsu
[08:20] ---
can become a ninja!
[08:22] ---
Yes, I will!
[08:23] ---
Whatever…
[08:25] ---
The fact that you're even in
the academy is nonsense.
[08:27] ---
You don’t have ninjutsu
or genjutsu skills,
[08:30] ---
and your taijutsu is below average!
[08:32] ---
Do you know what
everyone calls you here?
[08:40] ---
All right, as of today,
you're all genin.
[08:43] ---
So I'd like to know what it is
you're all aiming for!
[08:47] ---
I don't want to answer…
[08:49] ---
Sensei!
[08:50] ---
I'd like to prove that I can
become a respectable shinobi
[08:53] ---
even though I can't use
ninjutsu or genjutsu!
[08:56] ---
That would mean everything to me!
[08:59] ---
Hey! What's so funny?!
[09:02] ---
If you can't use ninjutsu
or genjutsu,
[09:05] ---
you're already out as a ninja.
[09:09] ---
Lee, you just won't learn
your lesson, will you?
[09:13] ---
There's no way you can win.
[09:14] ---
Unlike you, Neji is…
[09:18] ---
…a genius.
[09:20] ---
It’s useless, Lee…
[09:22] ---
No matter how much effort
you make,
[09:24] ---
there's no way you can
take me down.
[09:26] ---
That’s just fact.
[09:32] ---
Yes! Yes! Yes!
[09:35] ---
If I can't do 500 push-ups,
[09:37] ---
I'll jump rope
and do 1200 double unders!
[09:43] ---
If I can't do that,
I'll log kick 2000 times!
[09:46] ---
1116…1117…
[10:01] ---
Lee! Are you taking
a break already?
[10:07] ---
What is it, Guy Sensei?
[10:10] ---
If it's about my blunder during
the recent mission,
[10:13] ---
I believe I have already apologized!
[10:19] ---
Lee, it's true you're different
from Neji.
[10:22] ---
You have no ninjutsu
or genjutsu skills,
[10:24] ---
and you're no taijutsu expert either…
[10:27] ---
But Lee…
[10:29] ---
You have powers
that can exceed Neji's…
[10:32] ---
You're a genius with
hidden potential.
[10:36] ---
If you're trying to
make me feel better, please stop.
[10:39] ---
I'm not trying to make you feel better
or anything!
[10:42] ---
The reason is that you are…
[10:44] ---
a genius of hard work!
[10:47] ---
There's no point in
working hard
[10:49] ---
if you don't believe in yourself!
[10:52] ---
I hung in there because
I believe in myself.
[10:56] ---
Shira… You're just like me!
[11:00] ---
In fact, since you weren't able
to attend the Academy,
[11:03] ---
you must have trained
much harder than me!
[11:06] ---
I won't forgive the ones who
were contemptuous of your efforts!
[11:29] ---
This is—!
[11:44] ---
Damn it…
[11:45] ---
If you guys hadn't run off,
we could've obtained a scroll.
[11:49] ---
That team with the Byakugan user
is the one Shira warned us about.
[11:53] ---
Better safe than sorry.
[11:57] ---
By the way, they're not coming
after us, are they?
[12:00] ---
I used all those Paper Bombs,
[12:03] ---
and that area has a lot
of underground caverns…
[12:07] ---
The explosions created
a steeper cliff than I expected.
[12:09] ---
It'll take them a while
to make their way across.
[12:12] ---
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
[12:14] ---
Who's there?!
[12:19] ---
The handsome blue beast of
the Hidden Leaf, Rock Lee!
[12:23] ---
You're that guy from earlier!
[12:25] ---
What you did to Shira
is unforgivable!
[12:28] ---
Please apologize to Shira!
[12:30] ---
Apologize to Shira?
[12:32] ---
This guy's from the Hidden Leaf and
he's siding with Shira?!
[12:36] ---
When you believe
in hard work and perseverance,
[12:38] ---
it doesn't matter whether
you're a friend or foe!
[12:40] ---
That’s beside the point!
How’d you get across that chasm?!
[12:43] ---
I have invisible wings known
as perseverance!
[13:02] ---
Sometimes, perseverance…
[13:03] ---
will turn into infinite wings that
make the impossible possible!
[13:08] ---
Until you apologize to Shira,
my rage will not subside!
[13:12] ---
Like hell we will!
[13:14] ---
We know your weakness!
[13:17] ---
Wind Style!
[13:18] ---
Sandstorm Hurricane!
[13:34] ---
This is genjutsu!
[13:35] ---
Like Shira, you only specialize
in taijutsu.
[13:38] ---
So we'll just capitalize
on your weaknesses!
[13:40] ---
That's cowardly!
[13:41] ---
Please fight me fair and square!
[13:48] ---
What's cowardly?!
[13:49] ---
It's your fault for not knowing ninjutsu!
[13:53] ---
Inside the Sandstorm Hurricane,
[13:55] ---
countless sand particles
collide against each other
[13:58] ---
and create powerful
electro-magnetic waves.
[13:59] ---
Because of that,
[14:00] ---
anyone caught inside it will continue
to experience genjutsu.
[14:05] ---
It's about time to finish this!
[14:09] ---
What?!
[14:16] ---
Neji!
[14:17] ---
Jeez! Are you crazy
taking on six by yourself?
[14:20] ---
Tenten! You two made it
across too!
[14:24] ---
If you made it, isn't it obvious
we would too?!
[14:30] ---
Damn it…
[14:32] ---
We're a team!
Don't go off on your own!
[14:37] ---
I'm sorry! I just couldn't stand it…
[14:40] ---
Well, we have no choice now.
[14:42] ---
Let's go, Tenten!
[14:44] ---
That's more like it!
[14:45] ---
8 Trigrams…64 Palms!
[15:00] ---
What’s their deal?
[15:01] ---
They’re ridiculously strong!
[15:03] ---
I would like some payback as well!
[15:07] ---
Great Leaf Whirlwind!
[15:09] ---
Wait, Lee!
[15:12] ---
Please forgive them.
[15:14] ---
Shira…!
[15:16] ---
Why?
[15:17] ---
Why would you defend them?!
[15:19] ---
They betrayed you and
put you through hell!
[15:22] ---
Maybe they did.
But it doesn't matter.
[15:25] ---
How can you say
it doesn't matter?!
[15:28] ---
If they won't acknowledge me,
I have only myself to blame.
[15:32] ---
That's all.
[15:37] ---
I already told you.
[15:39] ---
Whatever my flaws
and misfortunes,
[15:40] ---
this is the life I was born into.
[15:43] ---
I'm not bitter, and I bear no grudge.
[15:48] ---
Good or bad, this is my life.
[15:51] ---
I have only myself to blame
for the bad
[15:54] ---
because I didn't work hard enough.
[15:56] ---
I don't want to blame anyone
for the life I have.
[16:02] ---
Shira…
[16:03] ---
How can you say
you didn't work hard enough?
[16:11] ---
Shira! You are a man among men!
[16:14] ---
The shinobi among shinobi!
[16:16] ---
I've never been so moved
in my life!
[16:19] ---
Other than Guy Sensei,
I've never met anyone so amazing!
[16:23] ---
You get so carried away.
[16:25] ---
It was really touching,
until you ruined the mood.
[16:34] ---
Take this.
[16:35] ---
This way, at least one of
our teams will pass.
[16:40] ---
Damn it… Must you be so kind?
[16:43] ---
Put yourself in our shoes, will you?
[16:46] ---
Sorry.
[16:47] ---
Why are you apologizing?
[16:50] ---
You're right.
[16:52] ---
But if you take this,
what about you guys…?
[16:55] ---
We'll figure something out.
[16:59] ---
Why would you go so far?
[17:01] ---
Is it all for Lord Gaara?
[17:04] ---
Until recently, he was
a brutal shinobi who'd kill anyone.
[17:08] ---
People don't change so easily!
[17:10] ---
I realize that.
[17:13] ---
But Lord Gaara and I
are the same…
[17:16] ---
That's what I believe.
[17:19] ---
I can tell from training with him.
[17:21] ---
Lord Gaara bitterly regrets
his past actions.
[17:25] ---
And he knows that atonement
won't come easy.
[17:31] ---
And yet, Lord Gaara keeps
pushing forward.
[17:36] ---
Because despite what
people think of him…
[17:38] ---
he believes that persevering
is the best thing to do right now.
[17:44] ---
I don't care about
who I am right now…
[17:47] ---
As long as I'm not ashamed of
the man I am in the future.
[17:52] ---
Oh, the words that come out
of your mouth!
[17:55] ---
You're absolutely right!
[17:56] ---
What counts is the man
that you are in the future!
[17:59] ---
Okay, okay…
We heard you, pipe down!
[18:03] ---
We…can't accept that.
[18:07] ---
Hey, give him your scroll.
[18:17] ---
Why?!
[18:19] ---
We have our pride too.
[18:22] ---
We lost this battle.
[18:24] ---
So we're handing you our scroll.
[18:30] ---
But we're not about
to give up just yet.
[18:33] ---
We’ll prove it by obtaining the scrolls
from the other teams.
[18:36] ---
Let's go!
[18:40] ---
Why did they...?
[18:42] ---
They realized that they don’t want to
be ashamed of themselves in the future.
[18:52] ---
Shira!
[18:56] ---
Um…
[18:58] ---
Thank you.
[19:00] ---
Thanks to you, it looks like Shira will
have a place in the Hidden Sand.
[19:06] ---
We didn't do anything.
[19:08] ---
Shira did it with his own strength and
a little help from our taijutsu-idiot.
[19:13] ---
He’s very honest…
He might be a little like our Shira.
[19:17] ---
Uh, I don't think so.
[19:18] ---
His weird clothes, his hair,
or his eyebrows…
[19:22] ---
They're not alike at all!
[19:25] ---
That’s true... He’s right up there
with Naruto in stupidity.
[19:28] ---
Naruto?
[19:29] ---
A shinobi from our village.
He’s on a journey right now.
[19:33] ---
We’ve heard of him.
[19:36] ---
Lord Gaara speaks of a shinobi
who changed him.
[19:39] ---
I'm sure the name was Naruto.
[19:43] ---
I wonder what he's up to now?
[20:01] ---
Neji… Tenten…
[20:02] ---
This has nothing to do
with the Second Exam…
[20:06] ---
But I have a favor to ask.
[20:07] ---
Uh-oh… Here we go…
[20:13] ---
I never want to go through
something like last time!
[20:19] ---
Sasuke beat Gaara of the Sand
against whom I was no match…
[20:24] ---
And Naruto beat Neji
whom I longed to defeat…
[20:30] ---
Why? Why does it always
turn out like this?
[20:33] ---
You wouldn't have listened to us
even if we tried to stop you, right?
[20:37] ---
Right!
[20:38] ---
Shira! I want to fight you!
[20:42] ---
Because we both seek
to master taijutsu, please fight me!
[20:47] ---
If I can face you in battle,
[20:48] ---
I'll have no regrets from
these Chunin Exams!
[20:52] ---
Fine with me, Lee.
[20:54] ---
To be honest,
I've wanted to fight you!
[22:38] ---
Shira! I will show you
how serious I am!
[22:40] ---
This is my last fight.
[22:43] ---
Last?
[22:44] ---
Lee, it’s all because of you,
that I can be a shinobi.
[22:48] ---
I’m grateful to you.
[22:50] ---
It might have been your fists
that changed Lord Gaara.
[22:54] ---
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Ultimate"
[22:59] ---
Let me express my gratitude
to you with my seriousness!
[23:02] ---
IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS

THE ULTIMATE
