[01:30] ---
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."

It is a youthful power,
one that supports the future.
