    The Hidden Plot Set Into Motion
    
    
    
[01:50] ---
    My optic nerve is connected.
[01:58] ---
    Foo!
[01:59] ---
    Wait!
[02:00] ---
    Where do you think you're going?!
[02:01] ---
    We have both scrolls!
[02:03] ---
    So let's head straight
    for the central tower!
[02:05] ---
    I don't want to!
[02:06] ---
    I still haven't made any friends!
[02:09] ---
    I just want to have
    a little more fun first!
[02:12] ---
    Have you already forgotten?!
[02:14] ---
    We're taking the Chunin Exams to make
    a name for the Hidden Waterfall!
[02:17] ---
    We may not beat
    the 97-minute record
[02:18] ---
    set by the Kazekage
    when he was a genin,
[02:21] ---
    but we can still shoot
    for first place!
[02:23] ---
    Yahoo!
[02:26] ---
    – She's not listening!
    – She's not listening!
[02:28] ---
    Calm down.
[02:29] ---
    Yeah…
[02:33] ---
    Foo, the village chief would
    be disappointed if he saw you now!
[02:36] ---
    Shibuki...?!
[02:39] ---
    Yes, bringing glory
    to the Hidden Waterfall
[02:42] ---
    is Lord Shibuki's greatest wish!
[02:48] ---
    Shibuki…
[02:53] ---
    Think of how he would feel!
[02:56] ---
    Okay, okay!
[02:59] ---
    I guess I have no choice.
[03:02] ---
    The lord's wish always
    comes first with Foo.
[03:05] ---
    I don't know why,
[03:06] ---
    but she calmly obeys whenever
    his name is mentioned.
[03:09] ---
    Foo! Not again!
[03:11] ---
    Where are you going?!
[03:11] ---
    To the central tower, where else?!
[03:14] ---
    – You're going the wrong way!
    – You're going the wrong way!
[03:27] ---
    With the Sand Eye,
    there's no danger to him physically.
[03:30] ---
    But as long as Gaara
    doesn't change his mind…
[03:34] ---
    We can't let down our guard.
[03:38] ---
    Gaara…
[03:41] ---
    Shall we break for dinner?
[03:42] ---
    I agree. It's getting late.
[03:46] ---
    No, I'm okay right now.
[03:48] ---
    All right.
[03:50] ---
    He snubbed us.
[03:51] ---
    Sure did.
[04:05] ---
    Where are we headed?!
[04:06] ---
    We're heading to the central tower.
[04:08] ---
    Wait, we don't have two scrolls!
[04:11] ---
    Use your head!
[04:12] ---
    The earth here is to our advantage!
[04:14] ---
    Actually, we don't have
    the "Earth" scroll,
[04:16] ---
    just the "Heaven" one.
[04:20] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[04:23] ---
    Any team with both "Heaven" and
    "Earth" scrolls will be targeted.
[04:28] ---
    So they'll head straight
[04:30] ---
    for the central tower
    as quickly as possible.
[04:32] ---
    But, traps are laid throughout
    the surrounding area.
[04:37] ---
    Except this eastern route.
[04:39] ---
    The eastern route is clear?
[04:42] ---
    Then everyone will
    be using that route!
[04:45] ---
    Except…this place has naturally
    occurring hidden quicksand pits.
[04:50] ---
    Once you fall in, you can't get out.
[04:53] ---
    So we'll get there first, wait patiently,
    and then steal a scroll.
[04:56] ---
    How's that plan?
[04:57] ---
    You're so smart.
[04:59] ---
    It sounds a bit cowardly though.
[05:02] ---
    Do you want to pass
    the Second Exam or not?
[05:04] ---
    Don't be a hypocrite.
[05:06] ---
    You're right. Let's do it.
[05:45] ---
    So you're Houichi.
[05:49] ---
    You look quite young.
[05:51] ---
    Yes, I am young.
[05:55] ---
    But I've studied
    the Priest Bunpuku's power
[05:58] ---
    to mold currents since I was a child.
[06:01] ---
    Bunpuku, you say?
[06:04] ---
    Yes.
[06:05] ---
    Gaara has become the Kazekage,
[06:08] ---
    but he still poses
    a threat to this village.
[06:11] ---
    As long as he remains,
[06:13] ---
    measures are necessary
    to control this fear.
[06:17] ---
    The Chunin Exams present
    the ideal opportunity
[06:20] ---
    to extract Shukaku the One Tail.
[06:22] ---
    Ultimately, this means
    that he must die.
[06:27] ---
    Yes.
[06:29] ---
    First, we must make sure
    the Kazekage is alone,
[06:32] ---
    and lure him to the tower.
[06:35] ---
    I'll now release the barrier
[06:38] ---
    that obstructed long-range
    sensory perception.
[06:41] ---
    This place is called Demon Desert
    because it's difficult to survive
[06:44] ---
    its massive sandstorms
    once you get stuck in one.
[06:49] ---
    That's why
    the Sand Investigative Unit
[06:51] ---
    uses long-range sensory perception
    and stays on guard.
[07:04] ---
    What?!
[07:05] ---
    What is that?
[07:07] ---
    Hey, this is bad!
[07:10] ---
    However, if long-range sensory
    perception wasn't functioning,
[07:14] ---
    what would happen?
[07:22] ---
    By now, chaos must be
    breaking out at headquarters…
[07:33] ---
    A massive sandstorm is forming!
[07:37] ---
    Why wasn't it
    detected until now?!
[07:39] ---
    I didn't sense anything unusual!
[07:42] ---
    He's right. I didn't detect
    anything either.
[07:44] ---
    Could someone be interfering
    with our long-range sensory...?
[07:47] ---
    Like blocking your perception
    with a barrier?!
[07:51] ---
    Who would do this, and why?
[07:54] ---
    More important, we have to come up
    with safety measures
[07:56] ---
    for the exam participants first!
[07:57] ---
    Isn't survival part of this exam?
[08:01] ---
    This sandstorm is way too big!
[08:03] ---
    There will be hell to pay
    if they all die.
[08:06] ---
    Damn it!
[08:07] ---
    What a hopeless bunch.
[08:10] ---
    The Second Exam will
    be postponed temporarily…
[08:12] ---
    and we'll lead all
    the exam participants into shelters.
[08:15] ---
    I leave the Kazekage to you two,
[08:17] ---
    because it seems like he's going
    to take matters into his own hands...
[08:21] ---
    Make sure he does not
    set foot outside.
[08:23] ---
    – Yes sir!
    – Yes sir!
[08:27] ---
    Are you ready?
[08:29] ---
    – Yes, ma'am!
    – Yes, ma'am!
[08:29] ---
    Teams One to Three,
    come with me.
[08:31] ---
    The rest, with me!
[08:37] ---
    Let's go!
[08:58] ---
    I can't believe we didn't detect
    a sandstorm of this magnitude.
[09:02] ---
    Who could have interfered?
[09:05] ---
    I just hope
    nothing bad happens…
[09:07] ---
    Yeah. I agree.
[09:14] ---
    What is this—?!
[09:16] ---
    It is a sandstorm!
[09:18] ---
    I know that!
[09:21] ---
    So this what a giant sandstorm
    of the Demon Desert is like.
[09:24] ---
    It's way bigger than I imagined.
[09:26] ---
    We can't stay here, that's for sure.
[09:31] ---
    This is bad…
[09:33] ---
    That's why I insisted on
    going straight to the central tower!
[09:40] ---
    Watch out!
[09:44] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:47] ---
    Uh, nothing.
[09:50] ---
    A sandstorm huh…?
[09:51] ---
    This gives us
    the home-court advantage.
[09:53] ---
    I really wouldn't say that now...
[09:56] ---
    This is bad.
[09:59] ---
    We haven't seen a storm
    this massive in quite a while.
[10:01] ---
    Yeah, I hope the exam participants
    are all right.
[10:04] ---
    Yeah...
[10:06] ---
    Hey, where is Lord Kazekage?
[10:13] ---
    He's fine. He's staying put.
[10:17] ---
    That's good.
[10:18] ---
    Yeah…
[10:50] ---
    I can't even see an inch
    in front of me!
[10:52] ---
    It's just a little sand!
[10:54] ---
    The central tower is
    right up ahead.
[10:56] ---
    Let's overcome this
    with gutsiness!
[10:59] ---
    Byakugan!
[11:02] ---
    This is going to take a lot more
    than gutsiness to overcome...
[11:06] ---
    Let's look for a spot nearby
    to wait out the storm.
[11:17] ---
    I can't open my eyes!
[11:20] ---
    The sand stings!
[11:24] ---
    I-I can't breathe…
[11:29] ---
    I can't…hang on…
[11:41] ---
    Use this.
[11:42] ---
    It's a sand mask!
[11:45] ---
    The Second Exam is
    temporarily postponed!
[11:48] ---
    We'll take you to the shelter.
[11:51] ---
    Don't give in to
    a sandstorm like this!
[11:57] ---
    Wind Scythe!
[12:00] ---
    All right, now's your chance
    to move forward!
[12:06] ---
    Come on, hurry!
[12:14] ---
    Are you okay, Lee?!
[12:17] ---
    My Hidden Leaf cloak isn't much help
    against a sandstorm this bad.
[12:24] ---
    All right, then…
[12:26] ---
    Eight Trigrams Palm, Rotation!
[12:30] ---
    Now, Tenten!
[12:31] ---
    Leave it to me!
[12:33] ---
    I think I have something that
    will help us block the sandstorm!
[12:41] ---
    ENDURANCE
    
[12:44] ---
    Let's go inside and
    sit out this storm.
[12:47] ---
    – Okay!
    – Yes!
[12:50] ---
    I'm amazed you had
    something like this handy.
[12:53] ---
    Situations like these are
    the only times I'm useful.
[12:58] ---
    I see!
[12:59] ---
    As expected.
[13:00] ---
    At least one of you refute me!
[13:37] ---
    I can't walk any further…
[13:40] ---
    Hang in there!
    We're almost at the central tower!
[13:43] ---
    Are you sure about that?
[13:45] ---
    You've been saying that,
    but we haven't reached it yet…
[13:48] ---
    I'm sure!
[13:52] ---
    Look! The hidden quicksand!
[13:53] ---
    See, I was right!
[13:56] ---
    This is not time to be saying that!
[14:00] ---
    Mikoshi!
[14:06] ---
    Hang on!
[14:07] ---
    We're going to pull
    Mikoshi out of there.
[14:09] ---
    Okay!
[14:23] ---
    I-I'm sinking!
[14:40] ---
    Pretty soon now…
[14:54] ---
    Almost there!
[14:58] ---
    Now! Grab my hand!
[15:15] ---
    I can't stand this!
[15:17] ---
    We'd better make it to
    the central tower fast
[15:19] ---
    or we'll be swallowed up.
[15:50] ---
    Shibuki!
[15:53] ---
    It's okay!
    I will always protect you.
[16:05] ---
    Why?
[16:08] ---
    Why did you protect me?
[16:12] ---
    Because you're precious to me.
    Why else?
[16:16] ---
    That's why you have to protect
    those who are dear to you too.
[16:19] ---
    If people bond with each other,
    there wouldn't be wars in this world.
[16:24] ---
    So first, make a hundred friends.
[16:29] ---
    What is it, Foo?
[16:33] ---
    The central tower is that way!
[16:40] ---
    Hey, are you listening?
[16:45] ---
    Lord Shibuki will—!
[16:47] ---
    For Lord Shibuki's sake—!
[16:49] ---
    I'm sure Shibuki will be pleased
    with what I'm going to do now!
[17:18] ---
    All right! Stay still!
[17:27] ---
    Come on!
[17:52] ---
    I am Gaara, the Kazekage of
    the Village Hidden in the Sand.
[17:56] ---
    I'm Foo from
    the Hidden Waterfall Village.
[18:00] ---
    Why did you save them?
[18:02] ---
    You're taking the Chunin Exams too,
    aren't you?
[18:06] ---
    Oh... Our village chief, Shibuki,
    taught me.
[18:14] ---
    Shibuki?
[18:16] ---
    Many people might
    misunderstand you.
[18:21] ---
    But you must hold
    the people around you dear…
[18:26] ---
    And do your best
    for these people.
[18:29] ---
    If you do, then someday…
[18:30] ---
    I'll have a hundred friends, right?
[18:33] ---
    Y-Yes…
[18:36] ---
    He taught me that one day
    I'm sure to have 100 friends.
[18:41] ---
    I see, that's why…
[18:45] ---
    As I watched you,
    I remembered a certain man…
[18:49] ---
    And now, I know why.
[18:52] ---
    Who is this man?
[18:56] ---
    He's a lot like you.
[18:58] ---
    I faced him in battle…
[19:00] ---
    And he taught me
    that we can learn
[19:02] ---
    to understand the pain and sorrow,
    and the joy of others.
[19:09] ---
    Wow… I'd like to meet someone
    like that and become his friend.
[19:23] ---
    Hey, what scroll do you guys have?
[19:26] ---
    The "Heaven" scroll…
[19:31] ---
    Take it!
[19:32] ---
    Really?!
[19:34] ---
    You're a lifesaver!
[19:36] ---
    We can't.
[19:38] ---
    We can't accept it.
[19:40] ---
    Why not?
[19:42] ---
    I have a new goal,
    so I don't need it!
[19:46] ---
    We were taught by Lord Gaara…
[19:51] ---
    To break down the barriers
    that we create,
[19:54] ---
    to overcome and win,
    and grasp the results that we desire.
[20:03] ---
    We want that scroll
    more than anything,
[20:07] ---
    but if we allow you
    to give it to us…
[20:08] ---
    we can't claim that we fulfilled
    the conditions of the Second Exam.
[20:11] ---
    We will obtain it through
    our own power.
[20:15] ---
    I understand!
[20:18] ---
    – Foo!
    – Foo!
[20:20] ---
    It'll be a pain if they catch me…
[20:22] ---
    So, I'll be going now!
[20:27] ---
    Good bye!
[20:29] ---
    – Thank you!
    – Thank you!
[20:33] ---
    She's interesting…
[20:36] ---
    I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere.
[20:55] ---
    Lord Gaara…
[20:57] ---
    Prepare to die.
[22:38] ---
    Lord Gaara, What's going on?
    
    
[22:39] ---
    Their target is me.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    There's no need for you
    to get involved.
    
    
[22:44] ---
    It's our duty as Sand shinobi to fight
    when our Kazekage is threatened.
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Go! I order you as the Kazekage
    to withdraw immediately!
    
    
[22:54] ---
