[01:30] ---
The Ultimate
[01:46] ---
Huh?!
[01:48] ---
PERSEVERANCE
[01:53] ---
I didn't know Lee kept going
with that training.
[01:57] ---
We're in the middle
of the Chunin Exams!
[01:59] ---
What is he thinking?
[02:03] ---
Shira! I will show
you how serious I am!
[02:08] ---
Let me warn you…
[02:09] ---
Shira's super strong!
[02:18] ---
I've become strong too!
[02:21] ---
This is my last fight.
[02:24] ---
Last?
[02:28] ---
Here I come, Lee!
[02:38] ---
What is this?
Their speed is ridiculous!
[02:41] ---
A battle of powerful fists…
[02:44] ---
It's not something
you get to see often.
[02:47] ---
He stopped my jutsu.
[02:52] ---
He countered every move?!
[02:57] ---
If I could, I would have liked
to fight him too.
[03:02] ---
Amazing…
[03:03] ---
I haven't faced
a taijutsu user this strong
[03:06] ---
since Guy Sensei and Neji!
[03:08] ---
He has a fine technique…
[03:09] ---
I feel his passion in
every punch he throws.
[03:12] ---
The intensity of his training
comes across clearly.
[03:25] ---
Lee!
[03:26] ---
I'm grateful to you.
[03:30] ---
Perhaps it's all because of you
that I can be a shinobi.
[03:36] ---
Lord Gaara said
this to me back then…
[03:40] ---
I once met someone just like you
in Hidden Leaf Village.
[03:46] ---
Through sheer determination,
he has become a fine shinobi.
[03:51] ---
Shira… I predict you will be
as good a shinobi as he.
[04:00] ---
It might have been your fists
that changed Lord Gaara.
[04:03] ---
No, I had nothing to do with that!
[04:08] ---
It was your perseverance
that moved Lord Gaara.
[04:13] ---
Lee, I'm going to show you
my gratitude in earnest!
[04:16] ---
Well said!
[04:17] ---
That is the creed
of those of us
[04:19] ---
who are dedicated to
the mastery of taijutsu.
[04:21] ---
They seem to be enjoying this.
[04:23] ---
Maybe Lee has met someone
he can consider a true rival.
[04:29] ---
You can only go so far
training alone.
[04:32] ---
Having a rival is what
helps you surpass those limits.
[04:35] ---
I see.
[04:36] ---
Do you have a rival, Neji?
[04:40] ---
My rival?
[04:43] ---
I don't know what
the Hyuga destiny of hatred is!
[04:46] ---
But if you're going to
say it's futile,
[04:48] ---
you don't have to do anything!
[04:50] ---
After I become the Hokage…
[04:52] ---
I'll change the Hyuga!
[04:55] ---
You're the only one
who can be my rival…
[04:59] ---
So hurry up and
come home, Naruto!
[05:05] ---
Neither one of them has delivered
a decisive blow yet.
[05:08] ---
They're just sizing
each other up right now.
[05:11] ---
What?
[05:11] ---
They're not fighting at
their full potential?
[05:14] ---
It's more like 50%.
[05:16] ---
How much can a body endure?
[05:19] ---
If they stay evenly matched like this…
[05:20] ---
No…
[05:22] ---
They're not quite equal.
[05:23] ---
Huh? They're not?
[05:26] ---
They're equal in speed and in
the number of moves they have…
[05:30] ---
But Shira's physique is
a full size bigger than Lee's.
[05:35] ---
In boxing, the difference
in body weight
[05:36] ---
influences the intensity of the blow.
[05:38] ---
While they may look
evenly matched,
[05:40] ---
Lee with his smaller build…
[05:41] ---
Is sustaining more damage?
[05:44] ---
Lee should be feeling
the effects pretty soon.
[05:48] ---
Blow for blow, Shira's punches
are harder than mine!
[05:52] ---
At this rate…
[05:58] ---
Lee!
[06:13] ---
That stance!
[06:14] ---
Don't tell me Lee plans
to use the Lotus!
[06:16] ---
It's too dangerous!
[06:18] ---
But he is an opponent
who is worth that risk!
[06:38] ---
No way!
The First Gate won't open!
[06:40] ---
Why?!
[06:51] ---
You hit my Chakra Points and
stopped the flow of chakra!
[06:54] ---
As a taijutsu user like you,
[06:56] ---
I know all your strengths
and weaknesses.
[06:58] ---
As well as the fact that you are
versed in the secret jutsu,
[07:01] ---
the Eight Inner Gates!
[07:04] ---
From now, I mean business!
[07:12] ---
Shira switched his mode.
[07:14] ---
He's getting serious now!
[07:20] ---
Here I come, Lee!
[07:27] ---
What's happening?!
[07:28] ---
All of a sudden, his attacks
became relentless and accurate!
[07:31] ---
This is—!
[07:36] ---
The sound!
[07:37] ---
Sound?!
[07:38] ---
His attacks are silent!
[07:41] ---
We taijutsu users can
counter supersonic moves
[07:45] ---
because we have honed
our five senses.
[07:48] ---
One of those senses
is hearing.
[07:50] ---
I remember…
[07:52] ---
Lee said he once fought a shinobi
from the Hidden Sound
[07:54] ---
who gave him a hard time!
[07:57] ---
This time, it's the exact opposite!
[08:00] ---
Shira is making absolutely no noise!
[08:02] ---
But how…?
[08:04] ---
Byakugan!
[08:11] ---
I see!
[08:12] ---
It's the theory of the owl.
[08:14] ---
The owl?
[08:16] ---
Did you know that owls fly
without making a sound?
[08:20] ---
Owls have special
comb-like feathers
[08:23] ---
that muffle the sound
of their flapping wings.
[08:27] ---
Using chakra that can only
be used with taijutsu,
[08:30] ---
he's cloaked himself with
the same type of feathers.
[08:34] ---
To come up with something
like that all by himself…
[08:37] ---
What a waste to consider
someone like that an enemy.
[08:47] ---
Silent Fist!
[08:48] ---
See if you can take this, Lee!
[08:51] ---
How can I…?
[08:53] ---
There's no point in working hard
if you don't believe in yourself!
[08:58] ---
Yes! I've trained and worked
just as hard as Shira!
[09:03] ---
999…1000!
[09:11] ---
Now, 1000 sit-ups!
[09:15] ---
Are you serious?
[09:16] ---
I am serious!
[09:17] ---
Wait, wait, wait!
[09:19] ---
Enough bodybuilding!
[09:22] ---
You're in far better physical
condition than we are, Lee.
[09:27] ---
But Guy Sensei, I've never beaten
you or Neji even once!
[09:31] ---
That's because
you don't use this.
[09:34] ---
Use my head for taijutsu?
[09:37] ---
Certainly!
[09:39] ---
It can be said that
mental visualization
[09:41] ---
is a fundamental part of taijutsu.
[09:43] ---
When I weave a sign,
I'm already seeing 100 moves ahead.
[09:47] ---
What?! Is such a thing possible?!
[09:50] ---
Yes, it's possible!
[09:52] ---
Through visualization alone,
if I'm going to fight Kakashi,
[09:56] ---
I can now see
1000 moves ahead.
[10:00] ---
Th-That far?
[10:07] ---
Hey, is that true?
[10:09] ---
Who knows?
[10:12] ---
For example, if I attack
with a right seiken fist…
[10:17] ---
Lee, what would your 50th move be?
[10:20] ---
Huh?
[10:21] ---
What technique is your 50th move!
[10:25] ---
Well…
[10:27] ---
Let's see…
[10:29] ---
A right thrust!
[10:31] ---
Wrong!
[10:34] ---
Then… A clockwise kick!
[10:36] ---
Correct!
[10:38] ---
So what is your 100th move?!
[10:42] ---
Uh… A left heel kick!
[10:43] ---
Wrong.
[10:44] ---
The answer is
a counter-clockwise kick.
[10:47] ---
What?
[10:49] ---
I will prove it to you right now!
[10:53] ---
Ready?
[11:08] ---
48…
[11:09] ---
49…
[11:11] ---
50.
[11:13] ---
Continue!
[11:14] ---
Sensei was right!
[11:24] ---
98… 99…!
[11:27] ---
100!
[11:28] ---
Right again!
[11:29] ---
I see…
[11:31] ---
He's making that happen!
[11:33] ---
Huh?
[11:40] ---
That's amazing, Guy Sensei!
[11:41] ---
What's your trick?
[11:43] ---
It's not a trick.
[11:45] ---
I just made you move the way
I wanted you to. That's all.
[11:49] ---
Made me move?
[11:52] ---
Yes!
[11:53] ---
I used counters that forced you
to make certain moves.
[11:57] ---
In battle, there is a sequence
to techniques and jutsu.
[12:00] ---
When you are in control
of that flow,
[12:02] ---
predicting what comes next
is not difficult.
[12:04] ---
Right now, I'm controlling
the flow of battle, and as a result,
[12:08] ---
you, my opponent who's physically
stronger than me,
[12:10] ---
have lost steam before me!
[12:12] ---
That's true!
[12:14] ---
Guy Sensei, you're not
even breathing hard!
[12:16] ---
By controlling the flow of battle,
[12:18] ---
I was able to deplete your energy
while preserving my own.
[12:22] ---
There really aren't many chances to
take down a foe in the midst of battle.
[12:26] ---
The usual attack strategy is no more than
an attempt to create such a chance!
[12:31] ---
That's what I mean
by using your head!
[12:34] ---
That's right!
[12:35] ---
From opponents I've faced before,
I pretty much know Shira's pattern.
[12:39] ---
All I need to do is control the sequence
of my opponent's moves.
[12:44] ---
Then, even if his moves are silent,
[12:46] ---
I can anticipate Shira's fist!
[12:59] ---
All right!
[12:59] ---
What?!
[13:02] ---
Lee's not getting hit anymore!
[13:05] ---
Finally, Lee…
You remembered that training!
[13:12] ---
He's countering so fast!
[13:14] ---
I can't wait to see when
he's giving it his all!
[13:27] ---
He missed the Chakra Point!
[13:29] ---
What's going on?
[13:31] ---
Was it by chance?
[13:36] ---
At this point…
[13:37] ---
Guy Sensei would be able to activate
the Sixth Gate instantly…
[13:39] ---
That's impossible for me, however…
[13:45] ---
The Third Gate of Life! Open!
[13:56] ---
He went straight to
the Third Gate…
[13:58] ---
So Lee's trained that far!
[14:03] ---
So that's the rumored
Eight Inner Gates...
[14:07] ---
Well then…
[14:12] ---
Seven Heavenly Breaths!
First Activation!
[14:17] ---
Second Activation!
[14:20] ---
Third Activation!
[14:23] ---
What is that?!
[14:24] ---
It's a taijutsu breathing method
that Shira came up with.
[14:28] ---
It's a jutsu whereby inhaling
large amounts of oxygen
[14:30] ---
invigorates the entire body.
[14:33] ---
When performing this technique,
[14:35] ---
Shira's lung capacity increases
nearly fourfold.
[14:38] ---
So it's his version of
the Eight Inner Gates.
[14:41] ---
It's amazing that he came up
with that all by himself…
[14:44] ---
Those two really drive home the fact…
[14:47] ---
that there is no limit
to perseverance.
[14:50] ---
No kidding!
[14:52] ---
Lee! Shira!
[14:54] ---
Do your best, both of you!
[14:59] ---
Here I come, Shira!
[15:01] ---
Anytime!
[15:07] ---
Not yet!
[15:10] ---
Fourth Gate of Pain! Open!
[15:13] ---
Fifth Gate of Closing! Open!
[15:30] ---
So this is what you're like
when you're serious!
[15:32] ---
My chakra…my sound-muffling feathers
are being blown away!
[15:36] ---
I'm starting to hear…
the sound of your wings.
[15:43] ---
Leaf Hurricane!
[16:00] ---
I'm not done yet…
[16:08] ---
Shira's wound has opened up!
[16:10] ---
Shira!
[16:12] ---
Shira!
[16:14] ---
Are you okay, Shira?!
[16:16] ---
Yeah…
[16:22] ---
I guess we'll have to
postpone this match.
[16:29] ---
Lee, I envy you.
[16:33] ---
I wish I could have trained under
Guy Sensei at least once.
[16:36] ---
Shira… Why did you release
my Chakra Points?
[16:41] ---
So you noticed?
[16:44] ---
I wanted to fight you
[16:45] ---
when you could give
a hundred percent.
[16:48] ---
As I expected, you are strong.
[16:51] ---
It was a great experience.
[16:54] ---
What are you saying?
[16:55] ---
You were too reckless!
[17:02] ---
Shira, I want you to have this.
[17:04] ---
Guy Sensei gave it to me.
[17:07] ---
This is what made me strong.
[17:09] ---
It is a unique item with
superior breathability
[17:11] ---
and moisture-wicking qualities
that lets you move easily!
[17:14] ---
You'll see the difference
when you train!
[17:17] ---
You'll get attached
to it immediately!
[17:18] ---
Wear this…
and we'll be brothers!
[17:22] ---
Thanks… I accept it.
[17:26] ---
Shira… You said earlier
that this is the last time…
[17:30] ---
In the Land of Wind,
[17:31] ---
there is a battalion that guards
the northern border.
[17:34] ---
That battalion never leaves
its station.
[17:38] ---
The environment there
is extremely harsh,
[17:40] ---
so few candidates
are willing to accept that mission.
[17:42] ---
I plan to volunteer for it
if I pass these Exams.
[17:48] ---
It's near my hometown.
[17:50] ---
My parents are sick and
I want to be close to them.
[17:54] ---
So I probably won't see
any of you again.
[17:58] ---
I see how it is...
[18:00] ---
Shira… I had no idea.
[18:04] ---
I guess that means I won't
be seeing you around either, Yome.
[18:07] ---
You're probably going
to tag along, right?
[18:14] ---
I have no regrets with my life.
[18:17] ---
But I'm sure my life would
have been more interesting
[18:20] ---
if I had had a friend like you.
[18:24] ---
I'm going to remember that as
the greatest compliment from you!
[18:28] ---
And I mean it as such, Lee,
in all sincerity.
[18:42] ---
Now we have two scrolls!
[18:44] ---
Then let's head straight
for home base!
[18:49] ---
HEAVEN HEAVEN
[18:53] ---
So, when should I break
the news to them...?
[19:03] ---
FUU TOCCHI KUN
According to reports from
the investigative team,
[19:05] ---
FUU TOCCHI KUN
two members of Team Fuu
from the Hidden Waterfall…
[19:07] ---
FUU TOCCHI KUN
Tocchi and Kun…
are actually not genin.
[19:11] ---
It is believed they are jonin
named Kegon and Yoro.
[19:15] ---
Damn Hidden Waterfall…
[19:16] ---
What are they scheming?
[19:18] ---
Wait.
[19:20] ---
Let me handle this.
[19:23] ---
This information is not
to go out of this room.
[19:27] ---
– But!
– But!
[19:28] ---
The Second Exam will
continue uninterrupted.
[19:31] ---
Understood?!
[19:35] ---
What is Lord Gaara thinking?!
[19:59] ---
It will be sundown soon.
[20:01] ---
Yes.
[20:02] ---
From here, we'll be able to sense
the enemy's presence right away.
[20:05] ---
It's the perfect spot to make camp.
[20:07] ---
So where's Fuu?
[20:09] ---
Hey! She was over there
just a second ago…
[20:15] ---
Fuu!
[20:18] ---
That brat! She's so carefree!
[20:25] ---
What the—?!
[20:28] ---
Poke, poke!
[20:35] ---
Fuu! Don't go off on your own!
[20:37] ---
Damn it!
[20:38] ---
What if someone from
another village attacked you?
[20:41] ---
You are valuable to
the Hidden Waterfall…!
[20:44] ---
Okay, I get it! I'll be right there!
[20:48] ---
Jeez! If you make such a fuss,
you'll be discovered.
[20:57] ---
Fuu…
[20:58] ---
She's a...
[22:36] ---
It's a good trick, eh?
[22:38] ---
I thought we'd just wrap up
the second stage of the exams
[22:41] ---
in a cool way, like this!
[22:42] ---
I think it's good!
[22:44] ---
It's kind of like something
Naruto would do...or...
[22:46] ---
This has nothing to do
with Naruto!
[22:48] ---
I wonder if Naruto's training
right now?
[22:50] ---
With this exam,
[22:52] ---
I'm going to be a chunin
and get a leg up on him!
[22:56] ---
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Escape vs. Pursuit"
[23:00] ---
Let's go, Kurenai's Team 8!
[23:03] ---
IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS ~
THE PATH TRAVELED
ESCAPE VS. PURSUIT
[23:05] ---
Tune in again!
