*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] ---**
