*The Cursed Puppet*
**[01:36] ---**
Hey, we have both scrolls,
so let's go straight for the goal.
**[01:40] ---**
I wish we could,
**[01:42] ---**
but there's a high risk of
getting ambushed.
**[01:45] ---**
We should stick to Sakura's plan
and take the detour.
**[01:51] ---**
Sakura…?
**[01:55] ---**
Sakura!
**[02:10] ---**
Sakura…
**[02:15] ---**
Two dams…
**[02:19] ---**
Next, I'm going to teach you
the jutsu to revive all the organs,
**[02:22] ---**
the entire system.
**[02:24] ---**
It's called the Ninja Art:
Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu.
**[02:28] ---**
Ninja Art…
Mitotic Regeneration?
**[02:32] ---**
This isn't a jutsu that revolves
around healing skills.
**[02:35] ---**
It's the same kind of
regeneration jutsu
**[02:37] ---**
that the First Hokage used.
**[02:40] ---**
The First Hokage had
such enormous chakra that
**[02:43] ---**
he could activate it
without weaving signs.
**[02:46] ---**
I don't have
that kind of immense chakra.
**[02:49] ---**
So…there's one more jutsu
I will teach you.
**[02:53] ---**
It's called
The 100 Healings Jutsu.
**[02:55] ---**
The 100 Healings Jutsu?
**[02:58] ---**
Even I don't have the kind of chakra
that the First Hokage had.
**[03:01] ---**
So I developed this jutsu.
**[03:05] ---**
By using it, you can keep
a huge amount of chakra in reserve.
**[03:09] ---**
By combining these two,
**[03:12] ---**
the body will continue
to regenerate and
**[03:14] ---**
you will not die during that time.
**[03:16] ---**
A-Amazing…
**[03:19] ---**
However, there's a problem with
The 100 Healings Jutsu.
**[03:23] ---**
Not only does it require extremely
delicate chakra control,
**[03:27] ---**
you must amass chakra
for three years.
**[03:32] ---**
Three years…?
**[03:39] ---**
You have a constant amount
of chakra infused.
**[03:42] ---**
Well, you must maintain
that state for three years!
**[03:59] ---**
100 HEALINGS
**[04:03] ---**
*I have to maintain this condition*
*for three years?!*
**[04:17] ---**
Sakura!
**[04:26] ---**
Due to the effect of
The 100 Healings Jutsu,
**[04:27] ---**
your normal chakra level
has become extremely low.
**[04:31] ---**
This will only be a hindrance
during healing and in battle.
**[04:35] ---**
At this rate, I can't allow you
to perform any surgery
**[04:38] ---**
or go out into the battlefield.
**[04:44] ---**
*The 100 Healings Jutsu creates*
*a smaller secondary dam*
**[04:47] ---**
*in which to store*
*the chakra reserve…*
**[04:52] ---**
*If I keep two dams of chakra and*
**[04:54] ---**
*make sure I use each of them*
*for their specific purpose…*
**[04:57] ---**
*I should be able to perform surgery*
*as well as fight in battles!*
**[05:10] ---**
Ino! Choji!
**[05:12] ---**
Is it an enemy?
**[05:14] ---**
A doll?
**[05:19] ---**
You're such a good girl…
**[05:29] ---**
…for finding me some prey.
**[05:34] ---**
Sakura, are you holding up physically?
**[05:36] ---**
Yes, since you let me rest…
**[05:39] ---**
Elder Sister,
let's hurry and kill them.
**[05:43] ---**
Don't be so hasty, Sana.
You'll get Saya mad.
**[05:48] ---**
I'm sure Elder Sister wants to
get this over with quickly too.
**[05:52] ---**
Right, Elder Sister…?
**[05:56] ---**
All right then…
**[06:01] ---**
Saya, damn you…!
**[06:08] ---**
L-Lady Saya!
**[06:11] ---**
I shall take my time…
**[06:15] ---**
and curse these victims
that my doll has found.
**[06:18] ---**
Th-Then which one
will we kill first?
**[06:22] ---**
Let's see…
**[06:25] ---**
They are both quite cute…
**[06:28] ---**
They will be worth killing.
**[06:32] ---**
I don't want the fatso…
**[06:34] ---**
Fatso!
**[06:36] ---**
You're mine!
**[06:38] ---**
I…am…
**[06:40] ---**
pleasingly plump!
**[06:42] ---**
Put it any way you like.
A fatso's still a fatso!
**[06:51] ---**
This guy's dangerous!
**[06:53] ---**
Choji!
**[06:55] ---**
Then I'll take the blonde one.
**[06:56] ---**
She is mine.
**[06:59] ---**
Then one with
the big forehead…
**[07:00] ---**
She is mine as well.
**[07:03] ---**
Fatso!
**[07:05] ---**
I said I'm pleasingly plump!
**[07:08] ---**
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[07:17] ---**
That was close!
**[07:21] ---**
Choji!
**[07:27] ---**
She's…a Puppet User!
**[07:38] ---**
You have been cursed.
**[07:40] ---**
You can no longer…
escape from her.
**[07:46] ---**
*If she's the Puppet User,*
**[07:48] ---**
*as long as we bring down*
*the jutsu caster…*
**[07:50] ---**
Sakura, my body…!
**[07:52] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[07:53] ---**
Mind…!
**[08:02] ---**
Puppet Imitation Jutsu.
**[08:08] ---**
Ino…?
**[08:12] ---**
Ino?!
**[08:19] ---**
Choji!
**[08:26] ---**
*It's up to me to do this…*
**[08:29] ---**
*But…*
**[08:36] ---**
Ino! Sakura!
**[08:38] ---**
This is not the time to worry
about your friends.
**[08:41] ---**
You're in quite a bind too, you know.
**[08:46] ---**
Super Expansion Jutsu!
**[08:58] ---**
I'll eat you!
**[09:03] ---**
Ino!
**[09:12] ---**
W-What is it?
**[09:15] ---**
Puppet Imitation Jutsu!
**[09:22] ---**
I realized it after I was
under that jutsu.
**[09:25] ---**
She calls it a curse,
but it's not a Puppet Jutsu.
**[09:27] ---**
It's closer to
a Mind Transfer Jutsu.
**[09:31] ---**
Aw man!
**[09:32] ---**
The Yamanaka Clan's reputation
is ruined!
**[09:41] ---**
Elder Sister, thanks for
coming to my rescue!
**[09:43] ---**
Lady Saya!
**[09:44] ---**
Curse those guys!
**[09:46] ---**
– There's no need to tell me that.
– There's no need to tell me that.
**[09:48] ---**
– I shall show no mercy.
– I shall show no mercy.
**[09:51] ---**
This doll is mine…
**[09:53] ---**
Now, go!
**[09:55] ---**
Punish your arrogant friends!
**[10:01] ---**
I-Ino, he's coming this way!
**[10:04] ---**
Then there's only one way.
We have to get the jutsu caster…
**[10:11] ---**
Ino…?
**[10:13] ---**
No one beats the Yamanaka Clan
in Mind Transfer!
**[10:18] ---**
Mind Transfer Jutsu!
**[10:27] ---**
Choji!
**[10:29] ---**
Oh?
**[10:30] ---**
That's not nice.
**[10:31] ---**
You can't enter my doll
without permission…
**[10:36] ---**
Get out!
**[10:37] ---**
Choji is our friend!
**[10:39] ---**
So *you* get out!
**[10:55] ---**
*At this rate, I can't allow you*
*to perform any surgery*
**[10:58] ---**
*or go out into the battlefront.*
**[11:04] ---**
*I need much…much more chakra…*
**[11:24] ---**
*I need much…more chakra…*
**[11:35] ---**
*Back then, I was…*
**[11:38] ---**
*always being protected by those two…*
**[11:41] ---**
*and watching from behind.*
**[11:45] ---**
*But times have changed.*
**[11:49] ---**
*If I have chakra, I can fight.*
**[11:58] ---**
Isn't that magnificent?
**[12:00] ---**
I guess you're just about ready.
**[12:03] ---**
Not yet.
**[12:05] ---**
I need more power in order
to take down Itachi.
**[12:08] ---**
Lord Orochimaru!
**[12:10] ---**
The aforementioned reagent
has just been completed.
**[12:13] ---**
Oh…
**[12:14] ---**
The one to test on Suigetsu?
**[12:17] ---**
Who is overseeing the experiment?
**[12:18] ---**
I'll have Karin do it.
**[12:20] ---**
Aren't they both in
the east hideout?
**[12:23] ---**
Yes, I'm dispatching
a subordinate right away to bring them.
**[12:26] ---**
I'll go get them.
**[12:28] ---**
Oh?
**[12:28] ---**
What brought this on?
**[12:32] ---**
I'm bored, that's all.
**[12:43] ---**
Wonders never cease.
I can't believe you're here.
**[12:48] ---**
Don't worry.
**[12:49] ---**
I'm leaving the minute
I'm done here.
**[12:51] ---**
I-I'm not worried!
**[12:54] ---**
Anyway, you're late bringing
the medicine!
**[13:00] ---**
I'm so disappointed that
Orochimaru's lackey is you.
**[13:07] ---**
I sure hope you don't plan
**[13:08] ---**
on becoming Orochimaru's pet
like this one.
**[13:13] ---**
Who did you call a pet?!
**[13:15] ---**
I'm going to get ready
for the experiment.
**[13:18] ---**
Sasuke, don't bother with this guy!
**[13:23] ---**
Sasuke, seriously…
Will you help me?
**[13:27] ---**
I'm sick and tired of this place.
**[13:31] ---**
That all depends on your strength.
**[13:34] ---**
Sheesh…
**[13:46] ---**
Hey…
**[13:55] ---**
Aw man, what kind of horrible experiment
is it gonna be this time?
**[14:14] ---**
Hey, you…!
**[14:18] ---**
You fool, what are you doing?!
**[14:20] ---**
Lucky me!
**[14:28] ---**
You let Suigetsu escape…?!
**[14:33] ---**
When I came to,
everything was like this.
**[14:36] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:37] ---**
If Lord Orochimaru finds out
about this, he'll take it out on me!
**[14:41] ---**
We're going after him now!
Round up everyone!
**[14:44] ---**
And what good will
that do against him?
**[14:48] ---**
Sasuke! You're still here?!
**[14:51] ---**
I figured it might be interesting
to watch the experiment.
**[14:54] ---**
Anyway, what will you do?
**[14:57] ---**
Do...?
**[14:59] ---**
Since I'm here,
I'll lend you a hand.
**[15:07] ---**
Over that way…
**[15:09] ---**
Towards 1 o'clock!
**[15:11] ---**
Sensory Perception?
**[15:14] ---**
Yeah, if it's someone I know,
I can go after their chakra.
**[15:17] ---**
That's convenient.
**[15:18] ---**
But I don't get it.
**[15:20] ---**
With that kind of power,
**[15:22] ---**
I'd think you could get away
from Orochimaru.
**[15:26] ---**
That's because…
**[15:30] ---**
*Help!*
**[15:32] ---**
*I'll bet this redhead*
*is a remnant*
**[15:34] ---**
*of a clan from the Hidden Eddies…*
**[15:36] ---**
*You were right that*
*she'd be worth something.*
**[15:39] ---**
*Let me go! Let me go!*
**[15:40] ---**
*She's a pretty feisty kid.*
**[15:43] ---**
*I hear you have an unusual power.*
**[15:48] ---**
*We'll get a good price*
*for you underground.*
**[16:01] ---**
*A shinobi without a homeland*
**[16:03] ---**
*is quite tragic.*
**[16:05] ---**
*No matter where you end up,*
*you're treated like a outcast.*
**[16:09] ---**
*And if you possess attributes*
*that are unusual,*
**[16:12] ---**
*they come after you…*
*as long as you're living.*
**[16:17] ---**
*Well… I speak as*
*one of the hunted too.*
**[16:24] ---**
*But, you know…*
**[16:26] ---**
*You must decide for yourself.*
**[16:29] ---**
*If you come with me,*
*no one will ever touch you again.*
**[16:37] ---**
If I have to follow someone…
**[16:40] ---**
I'd rather it be someone strong.
**[16:42] ---**
So if I'm stronger than Orochimaru,
you'd follow me?
**[16:52] ---**
Damn, a river…
**[16:55] ---**
What a nuisance.
**[16:57] ---**
Watch out, Sasuke.
**[16:59] ---**
We may not see him, but he's here.
**[17:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:09] ---**
I guess I can't fool you.
**[17:14] ---**
But…
**[17:17] ---**
I didn't expect you
to be with her.
**[17:19] ---**
Sasuke follows Lord Orochimaru!
**[17:22] ---**
What did you expect?!
**[17:23] ---**
You be quiet.
**[17:25] ---**
Hey, Sasuke…
**[17:27] ---**
If you're willing to follow her,
why not come with me instead?
**[17:30] ---**
Huh?! What're you saying, idiot?!
**[17:33] ---**
I have no reason to argue with you.
**[17:35] ---**
Don't ignore me!
**[17:37] ---**
I already answered that question.
**[17:45] ---**
Oh yeah… you did say it
all depends on my strength?
**[17:49] ---**
A Water Clone!
**[18:04] ---**
Physical attacks don't work on him!
**[18:07] ---**
Use Lightning Style…!
**[18:08] ---**
I won't let you weave any signs…
**[18:14] ---**
Sasuke!
**[18:16] ---**
I'm so sorry, Sasuke…
**[18:19] ---**
Just kidding!
**[18:21] ---**
Hey, that's a nice blade.
**[18:26] ---**
Well then…
**[18:28] ---**
You're next…
**[18:31] ---**
Just obey and return with me.
**[18:33] ---**
Or you'll regret it.
**[18:36] ---**
What? Is that a threat?
**[18:52] ---**
What was that just now?
**[18:54] ---**
As expected…
It even worked on you.
**[19:03] ---**
*Lord Orochimaru said…*
**[19:05] ---**
*that this chain can even bind*
*a mass of chakra.*
**[19:09] ---**
*But I had never used it before.*
**[19:14] ---**
That's enough, Karin.
**[19:16] ---**
Put that away.
**[19:18] ---**
Huh? Sasuke…
**[19:21] ---**
Put it away.
**[20:00] ---**
*In time, I'll get these two*
*on my side.*
**[20:06] ---**
*Their powers will be worth it.*
**[20:41] ---**
*Ino's Mind Transfer failed?*
**[20:51] ---**
*Not yet…I don't have*
*enough chakra yet…*
**[22:37] ---**
Choji and Ino are using up
their chakra
**[22:39] ---**
due to all these successive battles.
**[22:40] ---**
Their strength and willpower
are at their limits!
**[22:43] ---**
Back then, all I ever did
**[22:45] ---**
was have Sasuke and Naruto
protect me.
**[22:48] ---**
Now, I should be able
to protect them…
**[22:51] ---**
Like Naruto and Sasuke
did back then!
**[22:56] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Their Backs"
**[23:00] ---**
I can't be whining about
my weaknesses here!
**[23:03] ---**
THEIR BACKS
**[23:04] ---**
Tune in again!
