**[01:35] ---**
This…can't be.
**[01:37] ---**
What is happening?!
**[01:50] ---**
Snap out of it, Tsunade!
**[01:53] ---**
What's going on?!
**[02:42] ---**
I've completed my latest work!
**[02:46] ---**
Jiraiya!
You never even contacted me—!

*What are you doing?*
**[03:16] ---**
*I'm in the middle of writing*
*my latest work.*
**[03:18] ---**
*Another "Makeout" whatever…*
*So ridiculous.*
**[03:21] ---**
*Now that hurts.*
**[03:23] ---**
*This new novel is different from*
*the others and very innovative.*
**[03:27] ---**
*I'm still in the middle of it,*
**[03:28] ---**
*but it will be a masterpiece*
*about the "future of shinobi."*
**[03:32] ---**
*You'll be the first to read it*
*when it's finished.*
**[03:34] ---**
*No thanks.*

"Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls"…
**[03:48] ---**
"Long ago, there was a Fox Spirit.
This fox had nine tails…"
**[03:53] ---**
"If this fox lashed its tails once,"
**[03:54] ---**
"it could smash mountains
and create tidal waves."
**[03:56] ---**
"A band on ninja arose to defend
their village from attack."
**[04:00] ---**
"A lone shinobi staked his life
to seal away this beast."
**[04:15] ---**
'Morning.
**[04:16] ---**
'Morning!
**[04:17] ---**
You came home late last night.
**[04:19] ---**
Yeah… I was with Lord Third.
**[04:23] ---**
How did your discussion go?
**[04:24] ---**
Huh?
**[04:25] ---**
You mentioned an important meeting.
Did it go well?
**[04:39] ---**
*There's no need for you to*
*dirty your hands anymore.*
**[04:44] ---**
*The unlikeliest alliance between*
*the Uchiha and Senju*
**[04:49] ---**
*has protected the peace*
*of the Hidden Leaf Village…*
**[04:53] ---**
*And will continue*
*from this night forward*
**[04:55] ---**
*until the end of time.*
**[05:10] ---**
Oh, it was fine.
**[05:12] ---**
Where's Naruto?
**[05:13] ---**
He said an important mission
was going to be assigned today
**[05:15] ---**
so he couldn't be late, but…
**[05:19] ---**
Naruto!
**[05:21] ---**
Naruto!
**[05:28] ---**
What?!
It's already this late?
**[05:31] ---**
'Morning!
**[05:35] ---**
I'm off!
**[05:36] ---**
Hey, that's bad manners!
**[05:40] ---**
I have to hurry or I won't make it
**[05:42] ---**
for the meeting time
Kakashi's Sensei set!
**[05:45] ---**
It's always like this.
**[05:48] ---**
You spoil him too much!
Can you please scold him too?
**[05:52] ---**
All right… All right.
**[05:59] ---**
All right!
**[05:59] ---**
We're going to get
an S-ranked mission today!
**[06:02] ---**
Oh, isn't that the Nine-Tailed…
**[06:05] ---**
He's still the Hokage's son.
**[06:08] ---**
Just let sleeping dogs lie…
**[06:10] ---**
I don't like it one bit.
**[06:13] ---**
All right!
**[06:16] ---**
Who's there?! Scaring me like that!
**[06:19] ---**
Hey!
**[06:20] ---**
Oh, it's you, Young Lord Naruto!
**[06:23] ---**
Mister, how much is this mask?
**[06:25] ---**
Don't even ask!
**[06:27] ---**
I can't take money from you,
Young Lord!
**[06:29] ---**
Lord Hokage would
scold me if I did!
**[06:32] ---**
Please take it.
**[06:36] ---**
That's okay.
I don't have any money today.
**[06:39] ---**
I see…
**[06:40] ---**
Thank you though.
I'll come back to buy it.
**[06:47] ---**
*Sheesh! Lord Hokage this,*
*Lord Hokage that…*
**[06:53] ---**
Hey, throw some salt!
**[06:56] ---**
It's supposed to be a secret
in the village…
**[07:00] ---**
But everyone knows
what that kid is.
**[07:03] ---**
If he weren't the Hokage's son,
**[07:05] ---**
he'd have been chased out of
the village by now.
**[07:16] ---**
Hey, Shiro! 'Morning!
**[07:18] ---**
Oh, Naruto! Good morning.
**[07:21] ---**
Hey, Big Brother Itachi!
Good morning. Is Sasuke around?
**[07:26] ---**
Thanks for coming
to see him all the time.
**[07:28] ---**
My kid brother is
just so unfriendly.
**[07:31] ---**
Leave him to me!
**[07:33] ---**
I'll train him right.
**[07:35] ---**
Thanks. Be a good friend to him.
**[07:37] ---**
Sure.
**[07:39] ---**
Who's training whom?
**[07:41] ---**
I'm not so pitiful that I need
a loser like you to train me!
**[07:46] ---**
It's okay! I don't mind at all.
We're friends, aren't we?
**[07:48] ---**
Since when are we friends?!
**[07:50] ---**
You don't have to come and
get me every morning!
**[07:53] ---**
Just seeing your face during
missions is more than enough!
**[07:57] ---**
Yeah right…
you're actually happy that I came.
**[08:22] ---**
What's wrong?
**[08:23] ---**
Who's that?!
**[08:28] ---**
What happened?!
**[08:30] ---**
Are you okay?
**[08:31] ---**
Hang in there.
**[08:33] ---**
A-Ageha…
**[08:41] ---**
Kakashi Sensei,
what's our new mission?
**[08:45] ---**
Before that,
I want to show you something.
**[08:49] ---**
Look here.
**[08:50] ---**
The names of legendary heroes
are carved here.
**[08:55] ---**
Legendary heroes?
**[08:58] ---**
I'm definitely going to make it
so my name gets on here!
**[09:02] ---**
They were all killed in action
during missions for our village.
**[09:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:10] ---**
But there are those who
put their lives at risk
**[09:12] ---**
and fought for the village…
**[09:13] ---**
and even saved their comrades.
**[09:15] ---**
Yet, they weren't given
a heroes' burial,
**[09:17] ---**
let alone buried in
an ordinary grave.
**[09:24] ---**
Why isn't this person
with the others?
**[09:29] ---**
During an extremely
difficult mission,
**[09:30] ---**
he was a captain and
infiltrated enemy territory…
**[09:32] ---**
There, he was faced
with a difficult choice.
**[09:35] ---**
Continue the mission or
sacrifice the lives of his men…
**[09:39] ---**
Which did he choose?
**[09:40] ---**
Clearly, he chose
his comrades' lives, right?
**[09:43] ---**
In order to save the lives
of his comrades,
**[09:45] ---**
he cancelled the mission.
**[09:47] ---**
I knew it!
**[09:49] ---**
However,
the village suffered huge losses.
**[09:52] ---**
He was held responsible
and blamed for his actions…
**[09:55] ---**
In the end, even the men whose
lives he saved criticized him.
**[10:01] ---**
As a result, the deep hurt took
its toll mentally and physically…
**[10:05] ---**
and he took his own life.
**[10:07] ---**
– But…that's—!
– Why?!
**[10:09] ---**
He broke the code in order to
save his men's lives!
**[10:14] ---**
The first thing we learn
at the Academy is that
**[10:17] ---**
the mission takes utmost priority,
under the shinobi rules.
**[10:20] ---**
But!
**[10:21] ---**
In the shinobi world,
those who break the rules are scum.
**[10:27] ---**
That's…
**[10:28] ---**
However! Those who don't
value their comrades…
**[10:33] ---**
…are worse than scum.
**[10:38] ---**
And so, until you get
the signal to assemble…
**[10:42] ---**
go do some training.
**[10:44] ---**
Scatter!
**[10:45] ---**
– R-Right!
– R-Right!
**[10:49] ---**
What's the matter?
**[10:51] ---**
So tell me…
**[10:53] ---**
Why was I grouped together
with Naruto?
**[10:56] ---**
Do you object?
**[10:57] ---**
No, I don't have a problem with it.
**[11:00] ---**
But if he's put on a team
**[11:02] ---**
where there's too much of
a difference in skill levels,
**[11:04] ---**
he's bound to suffer.
**[11:06] ---**
You were the Academy's
most promising student.
**[11:09] ---**
Are you blaming Naruto
**[11:11] ---**
for S-ranked missions
not coming your way?
**[11:12] ---**
Because it certainly seems that way.
**[11:15] ---**
I didn't mean it like that…
**[11:17] ---**
It could just be the opposite.
**[11:27] ---**
I have a feeling that today's the day
that we'll get an S-ranked mission!
**[11:31] ---**
All right! I'm gonna go all out!
**[11:33] ---**
Honestly…
**[11:34] ---**
How can you be so positive
about life?
**[11:38] ---**
Well, I'm gonna be
the Hokage some day!
**[11:41] ---**
For the sake of the village,
I can't be a downer!
**[11:44] ---**
Talk about dreaming…
**[11:45] ---**
No…
**[11:49] ---**
It's possible Naruto
might become the Hokage.
**[11:52] ---**
Sasuke!
**[11:55] ---**
So you do acknowledge
my abilities, after all!
**[11:59] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[12:01] ---**
You're the son of the Fourth Hokage.
**[12:04] ---**
I'm just saying even the biggest loser
**[12:06] ---**
can follow in the Hokage's footsteps
with a little favoritism.
**[12:09] ---**
What?!
**[12:10] ---**
You have no right to
talk to me like that
**[12:12] ---**
until you beat me with your ninjutsu!
**[12:16] ---**
I don't need ninjutsu to beat you!
**[12:25] ---**
Lions Barrage!
**[12:29] ---**
Stop! Don't fight!
We're on the same team!
**[12:34] ---**
That was nothing…
**[12:39] ---**
Sasuke! Let's race to see who can
make it to the top of that rock.
**[12:43] ---**
On your mark!
**[12:44] ---**
Hey!
**[12:45] ---**
Get ready…go!
**[12:48] ---**
He doesn't know when to give up!
**[12:56] ---**
Lord Hokage just gave us
the sign to assemble.
**[12:59] ---**
But Naruto is…
**[13:01] ---**
What about Naruto?
**[13:06] ---**
*Damn it! Like I'm going to give up.*
**[13:08] ---**
*I'll never give up*
*despite what anyone says!*
**[13:11] ---**
Sasuke…
**[13:12] ---**
I don't see him catching up!
I knew it!
**[13:30] ---**
*Damn it!*
**[13:50] ---**
*It will be interesting to see…*
**[13:51] ---**
*whether the power*
*you have been given is truly for you.*
**[13:57] ---**
*If you don't want to die,*
*figure it out yourself!*
**[14:04] ---**
*I'll never give up!*
*Never! Never! No way!*
**[14:23] ---**
A voice in pain…
A bitter and sad voice…
**[15:01] ---**
Y-You're huge!
**[15:05] ---**
You're the—!
**[15:08] ---**
I wasn't expecting to
hear that from you…
**[15:11] ---**
Didn't your parents tell you?
**[15:15] ---**
Oh, you're the Nine-Tails, right!
**[15:19] ---**
Then this will be quick.
**[15:21] ---**
What brings you to me?
**[15:25] ---**
I'm letting you live inside my body.
You owe me some rent.
**[15:30] ---**
What?!
**[15:31] ---**
Lend me your chakra!
**[15:37] ---**
You, ordering me around?
**[15:50] ---**
You're greatly mistaken…
**[15:53] ---**
Anyway, if you die, I die.
**[16:15] ---**
*I'll show you first.*
**[16:23] ---**
*Watch carefully!*
**[16:25] ---**
*Summoning Jutsu!*
**[16:28] ---**
*If I could do that…*
**[16:30] ---**
Summoning Jutsu!
**[16:48] ---**
I'm safe.
**[16:55] ---**
So Naruto dashed off for that rock?
**[16:59] ---**
Yes… He challenged Sasuke
to a race.
**[17:03] ---**
But I didn't want to get involved.
**[17:11] ---**
It seems he jumped over this.
**[17:14] ---**
What?
He fell from here?!
**[17:17] ---**
What a fool.
**[17:19] ---**
Hey! What are you doing?
**[17:21] ---**
Better hurry or Dad
will get mad at us!
**[17:31] ---**
FOURTH HOKAGE
**[17:36] ---**
*Jiraiya Sensei…*
**[17:39] ---**
*Over there!*
**[17:51] ---**
*I must put up a barrier immediately…*
**[17:54] ---**
*My chakra is almost…*
**[17:56] ---**
*I can still do it…Minato.*
**[18:10] ---**
*Kushina!*
**[18:15] ---**
*Did I wake you up?*
**[18:17] ---**
*I'm sorry, Naruto…*
**[18:20] ---**
*Kushina…*
**[18:21] ---**
*I'm going to pull the Nine Tails*
*with me…*
**[18:25] ---**
*to my death…*
**[18:26] ---**
*Then…*
**[18:29] ---**
*Kushina, there's no need for you*
*to die with the Nine Tails…*
**[18:34] ---**
*You sealing the Nine Tails' chakra in*
*your state is physically impossible.*
**[18:38] ---**
*But half should be possible…*
**[18:41] ---**
*And the other half?*
**[18:43] ---**
*I will seal it inside Naruto*
*with the Eight Signed Seal!*
**[18:48] ---**
*I know what you want to say…*
**[18:50] ---**
*But in time, the Nine Tails' chakra…*
**[18:53] ---**
*will open up Naruto's future*
*as a Jinchuriki.*
**[19:05] ---**
*I believe that if Naruto is ever*
*in danger, it will be invaluable.*
**[19:13] ---**
*But right now,*
*it seems to be just the opposite.*
**[19:15] ---**
*Well, he's just not able to manage*
**[19:18] ---**
*the Nine Tails'*
*enormous power yet…*
**[19:21] ---**
*I'm sure he'll learn to*
*control it in time.*
**[19:25] ---**
*If…Naruto is truly*
*the Child of Prophecy.*
**[19:32] ---**
*But if he's not able to*
*fully control the Nine Tails…*
**[19:39] ---**
*Was it too soon…*
*to let you go on this mission?*
**[19:43] ---**
*No, sooner or later…*
*You'll have to overcome this trial.*
**[20:00] ---**
All of our classmates have
assembled for this mission.
**[20:04] ---**
Yeah…
**[20:05] ---**
It's turned out just as we feared, huh.
**[20:08] ---**
What?
**[20:09] ---**
Well, I want as little as possible
to do with that guy
**[20:12] ---**
and complete the mission
successfully.
**[20:15] ---**
Each team will take
a separate route to the target site.
**[20:19] ---**
Once there, you will search
for the missing shinobi.
**[20:24] ---**
Send word the minute
you discover them!
**[20:27] ---**
Do not rush out to try
and rescue them!
**[20:31] ---**
Understand?
**[20:32] ---**
You don't have to keep reminding us.
**[20:36] ---**
I'll rescue every one of them!
**[20:38] ---**
Seems like someone over there
doesn't get it.
**[20:41] ---**
I knew it… This is going to
turn out to be a drag.
**[20:45] ---**
Scatter!
**[20:58] ---**
All right! Let's do this!
**[22:38] ---**
Right around then, the young shinobi
who just made genin,
**[22:42] ---**
made their way to a village
that had lost their jonin.
**[22:47] ---**
Amongst them was
the Child of Prophecy, Naruto.
**[22:51] ---**
I know it's sudden, but let me
go over the next mission.
**[22:55] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Search Mission."
**[23:00] ---**
Naruto, you will most likely be
the one who…
