    Neji's Judgment
    
    
    
[01:36] ---
    I'll give this to you,
    so please, help me!
[01:41] ---
    Don't worry about that!
[01:42] ---
    Can you just show us the way?
[01:46] ---
    Yes!
[01:58] ---
    Over there.
[01:59] ---
    Byakugan!
[02:13] ---
    Found them!
[02:23] ---
    What are you planning to do?!
[02:25] ---
    We can't ignore them.
[02:26] ---
    But that could mean defaulting
    on the Chunin Exams.
[02:30] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[02:32] ---
    It's not your fault.
    It's my decision to take action.
[02:36] ---
    R-Right.
[02:38] ---
    You're right, Tenten.
[02:40] ---
    This could mean a default
    on the Chunin Exams.
[02:44] ---
    But in a situation like this,
    he wouldn't…
[02:50] ---
    Naruto wouldn't hesitate
    for a moment to act.
[02:52] ---
    Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't.
[02:54] ---
    You're right!
[02:55] ---
    Naruto would scold us if
    we ignored someone in need
[02:59] ---
    in order to pass
    the Second Exam.
[03:02] ---
    Naruto and Gaara both
    challenged their destinies
[03:05] ---
    and overcame hardship.
[03:07] ---
    They wouldn't turn their backs and
    say it's someone else's problem.
[03:22] ---
    Damn it… I told you not to come.
[03:26] ---
    How can I stay away?!
[03:28] ---
    If your friend was here,
    I'm sure he'd come to save you.
[03:33] ---
    Friend?!
[03:38] ---
    Yeah, that's because he's a fool…
[04:34] ---
    Ninja Art: Cocoon…
[04:56] ---
    What is that?
[05:06] ---
    This is…?
[05:07] ---
    My power. But it isn't enough
    to break this chakra chain.
[05:16] ---
    So, I'm going to try
    to buy us some time.
[05:33] ---
    This is…!
[05:34] ---
    The flow in the chakra chain
    is becoming sluggish…
[05:38] ---
    That cocoon has the power to suppress
    the absorption of chakra?
[05:51] ---
    What did you do?
[05:52] ---
    I made a cocoon with
    my Chakra Threads.
[05:55] ---
    My cocoon is
    a complicated tangle of
[05:58] ---
    super-fine Chakra Threads.
[06:00] ---
    And it weakened its absorption,
    just as I thought.
[06:04] ---
    It didn't stop it.
[06:06] ---
    The rate of chakra being sucked out
    has definitely slowed down,
[06:09] ---
    and lessened the pain…
[06:10] ---
    But eventually, our Tailed Beasts
    will be extracted…
[06:14] ---
    and we'll die.
[06:16] ---
    Negative thoughts aren't good.
[06:18] ---
    I'm sure someone will come
    to save us!
[06:21] ---
    How can you be so positive?
[06:25] ---
    Someone once praised me
    that I was born special.
[06:30] ---
    No one will come to help us.
[06:32] ---
    Don't say such things!
[06:34] ---
    Hey! Is someone out there?!
[06:39] ---
    Your voice won't travel
    through this cocoon.
[06:41] ---
    Oops! Darn it.
[06:45] ---
    All right then…
[06:47] ---
    I'll just pull this out
    with brute strength.
[06:55] ---
    We'll have to wait
    to be rescued, after all.
[06:59] ---
    No matter how long we wait,
[07:01] ---
    no one from the Sand
    will come to our aid.
[07:03] ---
    Again with those negative thoughts!
[07:06] ---
    Would you still say that
    if you knew
[07:08] ---
    the person attacking us
    is from the Sand?
[07:11] ---
    Are you serious?!
[07:21] ---
    How futile.
[07:23] ---
    All you did was throw away
    any way of escape.
[07:27] ---
    Just how long do you think
    you'll last in there?
[07:36] ---
    In the past, the only way
    I could relate to others
[07:40] ---
    was with hate and a desire to kill.
[07:46] ---
    Now that I am the Kazekage,
[07:49] ---
    some believe that
    I will rule through fear,
[07:52] ---
    and are trying to eliminate me.
[07:54] ---
    That can't be helped.
[07:57] ---
    I'm the one who brought it on.
[08:03] ---
    If I have any regrets,
    it's only that I wish people knew
[08:08] ---
    how much I was trying
    to change.
[08:11] ---
    That friend of yours
    taught you, right?
[08:13] ---
    That you can share and
    understand the pain,
[08:15] ---
    suffering and happiness of others!
[08:26] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[08:28] ---
    But it's difficult for a Jinchuriki.
[08:32] ---
    That's not true!
    I'm sure it'll all work out.
[08:36] ---
    Even a Jinchuriki can make
    a hundred friends.
[08:40] ---
    I just know it!
    The Village Chief told me so.
[08:43] ---
    They're alike, after all.
[08:47] ---
    Judging by the panic within
    the Hidden Sand,
[08:49] ---
    we can assume they don't have
    Gaara under their protection.
[08:54] ---
    Yes. This is just as we feared.
[08:57] ---
    He set himself up
    as bait to lure out
[08:59] ---
    the faction planning
    the coup d'état.
[09:01] ---
    In the worst case, it's possible
    he's already been assassinated.
[09:06] ---
    The Leaf has close ties to him.
[09:09] ---
    If something like that happens,
[09:11] ---
    it would greatly affect
    our future relationship.
[09:13] ---
    We can't allow him
    to be assassinated.
[09:16] ---
    As long as we don't know
    who the coup d'état faction is,
[09:19] ---
    we can't go to the Sand
    to request assistance.
[09:23] ---
    We'll just have
    to do something ourselves.
[09:25] ---
    That being said,
    we don't know where he went.
[09:28] ---
    We have no clues at all.
[09:33] ---
    What's that?
[09:39] ---
    Ah, they're genin
    of the Hidden Sand!
[09:48] ---
    The sound of a lute?!
[10:13] ---
    What is that?!
[10:14] ---
    It looks like a giant cocoon!
[10:17] ---
    And who is that man?
[10:23] ---
    You're exam participants
    from the Hidden Waterfall!
[10:27] ---
    Yes…
[10:27] ---
    We're looking for Foo.
    She wandered off.
[10:30] ---
    Foo wandered off?
[10:45] ---
    What?!
[10:46] ---
    Chakra is being extracted
    from Gaara and Foo.
[10:50] ---
    What's wrong, Neji?!
[10:52] ---
    What is in that cocoon?!
[10:57] ---
    Two Jinchuriki.
[10:59] ---
    One of them is Lord Gaara…
[11:01] ---
    But who's the other one?
[11:03] ---
    From the Hidden Waterfall…
[11:05] ---
    It's your teammate.
[11:12] ---
    Are you fine with this happening?
    At this rate, they'll both die.
[11:17] ---
    It's probably the Sealing Jutsu
    of that lute-playing priest.
[11:20] ---
    He's extracting Tailed Beast Chakra,
[11:23] ---
    and ultimately,
    the Beasts themselves.
[11:26] ---
    If the Tailed Beast is extracted,
    Lord Gaara will die!
[11:29] ---
    Please help him!
[11:32] ---
    And what do you intend to do?
[11:35] ---
    Are you going to abandon
    your teammate?
[11:36] ---
    Let's call a truce,
    and fight together!
[11:40] ---
    If we act now, we can save them…
[11:51] ---
    Please…
[11:52] ---
    Save Foo.
[11:55] ---
    All right.
[12:13] ---
    I see!
[12:21] ---
    From what I gather,
    the priest's back is vulnerable.
[12:27] ---
    This is what I've come up with.
[12:29] ---
    We'll divide into two teams…
[12:31] ---
    An attack and a rescue team.
[12:34] ---
    The attack team will sneak in close
    and attack from behind…
[12:39] ---
    The rescue team will seize
    the opportunity and rescue the two.
[12:43] ---
    Lee, Matsuri and the two
    from the Hidden Waterfall
[12:45] ---
    will attack the lute-playing priest!
[12:47] ---
    – Understood.
    – Understood.
[12:48] ---
    Right! We'll pulverize him!
[12:51] ---
    I'd like to be on the rescue team!
[12:53] ---
    No, I need Tenten for the rescue.
[12:56] ---
    The two of us will go.
[12:57] ---
    Okay!
[12:59] ---
    Scatter!
[13:06] ---
    Shuriken Shadow Clone!
[13:09] ---
    Water Style: Water Shuriken!
[13:11] ---
    Deadly Shell Meteorite!
[13:14] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[13:19] ---
    Dharma Barrier:
    Celestial Pillars!
[13:26] ---
    What is that?!
[13:27] ---
    Some defensive jutsu?!
[13:29] ---
    No, that's not the only thing.
[13:32] ---
    Let's use caution!
[13:55] ---
    Tenten, I need a Chakra Sword.
[13:57] ---
    Got it!
[13:59] ---
    SWORD
    
[14:10] ---
    Aim for a section of the cocoon!
[14:22] ---
    Right here!
[14:38] ---
    Damn it! We can't get close to him!
[14:40] ---
    It's an impregnable barrier!
[14:42] ---
    At this rate, we're not helping
    Lord Kazekage at all.
[14:46] ---
    No, this is sufficient.
[14:48] ---
    What?
[14:50] ---
    Just drawing his attention away
    will make Neji's job easier.
[14:53] ---
    That is what we are here to do.
[14:56] ---
    Neji, are you all right?!
[15:01] ---
    Are you two okay?
[15:03] ---
    See!
[15:04] ---
    Someone came to help, after all!
[15:06] ---
    I gave strict orders
    not to tell anyone…
[15:09] ---
    Don't be angry with
    your subordinates.
[15:11] ---
    They were worried sick about you.
[15:18] ---
    I figured as much…
[15:20] ---
    This chain has penetrated
    your Chakra Points.
[15:24] ---
    And they are causing direct damage
    to the Chakra Network.
[15:27] ---
    They're controlling
    the flow of chakra
[15:28] ---
    through the Chakra Points and
[15:30] ---
    siphoning away
    your Tailed Beast Chakra.
[15:34] ---
    Yeah…
[15:35] ---
    Eventually, the Tailed Beast Chakra
    will be weakened enough
[15:37] ---
    and he'll extract the Beast itself.
[15:40] ---
    Can you please help?
[15:42] ---
    Tailed Beast or whatever,
    chakra is chakra.
[15:46] ---
    If we plug the Chakra Point that's being
    used to siphon the Tailed Beast Chakra,
[15:50] ---
    we may be able to stop the flow.
[15:53] ---
    Is that possible?
[15:55] ---
    Yeah… It'll be tricky,
    but it's worth a try.
[15:59] ---
    Please do.
[16:06] ---
    Here it is!
[16:07] ---
    Gentle Fist: Chakra Point Needle!
[16:15] ---
    What happened?
[16:18] ---
    The Tailed Beast Chakra is
    so powerful that it repelled me.
[16:23] ---
    I didn't think it would
    be this strong!
[16:31] ---
    That time…
[16:33] ---
    The force of the Nine Tails Chakra
    inside Naruto was unbelievable…
[16:39] ---
    So I guess Gaara and
    Foo's Tailed Beast Chakra
[16:41] ---
    are just as powerful as Naruto's.
[16:46] ---
    Please don't give up!
    We're counting on you!
[16:50] ---
    Yeah, I know. I'll try again!
[17:12] ---
    All right, the flow stopped!
[17:15] ---
    You're next, Foo!
[17:17] ---
    Okay!
[17:31] ---
    What?!
[17:33] ---
    The chakra flow has stopped?!
[17:36] ---
    Why?!
[17:37] ---
    Why isn't the Tailed Beast
    Chakra flowing in?!
[17:40] ---
    The lute-playing priest
    is acting strange…
[17:42] ---
    Yes, something must
    have happened.
[17:45] ---
    Did the Leaf's Byakugan user
    do something?
[17:48] ---
    Well, the enemy definitely
    looks flustered.
[18:12] ---
    What's happening?
[18:13] ---
    It looks like it's alive!
[18:15] ---
    That's creepy!
[18:16] ---
    Be careful!
[18:20] ---
    Unless I do something,
[18:21] ---
    the chain will continue searching
    for Tailed Beast Chakra!
[18:25] ---
    It will find the chakra that
    it has already stored up in me…
[18:28] ---
    and start siphoning
    that Tailed Beast Chakra…
[18:31] ---
    until it destroys itself.
[18:55] ---
    The barrier's been broken!
[19:09] ---
    May I ask you, not to kill him?
[19:13] ---
    Yes, I understand.
[19:21] ---
    Neji…
[19:25] ---
    I see…
[19:26] ---
    It's the same theory as earlier.
[19:29] ---
    The Chakra Points are closed.
[19:32] ---
    There are more Chakra Points
    here though…
[19:35] ---
    Everyone, please stand back!
[19:56] ---
    We can still save him.
[19:58] ---
    Let's take him to the Medical Team.
[19:59] ---
    Yes, understood!
[20:06] ---
    You have my thanks, Neji.
[20:08] ---
    Imagine, being rescued by you.
[20:12] ---
    Is everyone all right?!
[20:14] ---
    Yes, we're okay now.
[20:18] ---
    Lord Gaara!
[20:20] ---
    Thank goodness you're safe!
[20:23] ---
    Matsuri performed admirably too.
[20:32] ---
    Over there!
[20:34] ---
    It seems like they don't need
    our help, after all!
[20:38] ---
    Yes, I guess we were
    a little too late.
[20:42] ---
    I'm Foo of the Hidden Waterfall!
[20:44] ---
    I'm trying to make
    one hundred friends!
[20:48] ---
    So please, be Foo's friend!
[20:51] ---
    O-Okay, okay!
[20:53] ---
    I get it, just let go of my hand.
[20:57] ---
    Neji! You're so lucky!
[20:59] ---
    Woohoo! Woohoo!
[21:01] ---
    Friends! Friends!
[22:37] ---
    There was a time I felt the wounds
    
    
[22:39] ---
    that I inflicted on my people
    would never heal.
    
    
[22:42] ---
    I thought I should just disappear
    from the Sand Village.
    
    
[22:47] ---
    But I found there were people who,
    
    
[22:50] ---
    without any prejudice,
    accepted my feelings.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hopes Entrusted to the Future."
    
    
[22:59] ---
    It is a youthful power,
    one that supports the future.
