[00:26] ---
    Neji and Naruto looked up…
[00:29] ---
    and found themselves in
    a space different from before…
[00:34] ---
    Are you the one responsible
    for all of this?
[00:36] ---
    Hey!
[00:37] ---
    Let Kakashi Sensei and everyone
    from the Hidden Leaf go!
[00:40] ---
    Or you're gonna get it!
[00:47] ---
    Naruto! Get away from him!
[00:50] ---
    Don't butt in!
[00:51] ---
    I'm about to settle this right now!
[00:54] ---
    Look at his eyes.
[00:55] ---
    Huh?
[00:57] ---
    The Byakugan?
[01:00] ---
    You're no match for him.
[01:05] ---
    Who are you?
[01:07] ---
    How do you possess the Byakugan?
[01:10] ---
    Don't tell me…
    Do you have ties to the Hyuga?
[01:14] ---
    Look at the cloud of dust…
[01:18] ---
    Your comrades did that.
[01:23] ---
    What happened?
[01:25] ---
    They put their village's rules before
    the lives of the children.
[01:30] ---
    The Hidden Leaf hasn't changed
    a bit in all these years.
[01:37] ---
    What do you know about
    the Hidden Leaf?
[01:39] ---
    Oh, I know plenty.
[01:41] ---
    In fact, I know more than
    anyone presently here.
[01:48] ---
    Follow me…
[01:50] ---
    Neji Hyuga.
[01:54] ---
    If you want to discover
    the ugly truth
[01:57] ---
    the Hidden Leaf has covered up…
[02:02] ---
    What?
[02:04] ---
    What is he talking about?

[03:50] ---
    Komichi!
[04:15] ---
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu, complete.
[04:19] ---
    You guys…
[04:21] ---
    …came.
[04:26] ---
    Hurry, get the child!
[04:36] ---
    Damn it!
[04:43] ---
    Komichi!
[04:46] ---
    Ino!
[04:48] ---
    Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu!
[05:01] ---
    No!
[05:08] ---
    Nagato, go!
[05:10] ---
    Hurry and find that monster!
[05:12] ---
    Leave it to us!
[05:14] ---
    Her psyche has entered
    the child's body.
[05:18] ---
    That's…possible?
[05:26] ---
    Ino's probably jumping
    around inside of it.
[05:42] ---
    Konan!
[06:01] ---
    Now!
[06:30] ---
    Ino!
[06:38] ---
    Komichi!
[06:40] ---
    Big Brother!
[06:46] ---
    Choji!
[07:25] ---
    Hey! I almost got blown up!
[07:35] ---
    What's up with his eye?
[07:42] ---
    – Mommy!
    – Mommy!
[07:45] ---
    Ashitaba! Komichi!
[07:49] ---
    You two—!
[07:50] ---
    I'm sorry, so sorry!
[07:53] ---
    Lord Mashima protected you…
    the both of you!
[07:58] ---
    No, it was the people over there…
[08:07] ---
    Where did they—?
[08:12] ---
    Tell us…
[08:15] ---
    Right from the beginning,
[08:17] ---
    I didn't get the feeling that
    you wanted to kill us.
[08:23] ---
    You were trying to get us
    to do something.
[08:26] ---
    I was wrong about you.
[08:29] ---
    You'd never disobey an order
    from the Hidden Leaf…
[08:32] ---
    You can't live outside
    the rules of the Hidden Leaf.
[08:36] ---
    I assumed you were
    that kind of shinobi…
[08:40] ---
    But I was very wrong.
[08:50] ---
    Through your actions,
[08:52] ---
    you demonstrated what
    Jiraiya Sensei taught us to do.
[08:55] ---
    You used your powers
    to help people in need,
[08:58] ---
    even if they aren't from
    the Hidden Leaf…
[09:03] ---
    I was really happy that
    you came back.
[09:07] ---
    Thanks to you,
    we were saved too.
[09:14] ---
    Are you joking?
[09:16] ---
    Would the three of you like
    to work with us?
[09:20] ---
    What are they talking about?
[09:21] ---
    Didn't they abduct Asuma Sensei?
[09:25] ---
    Yeah…
[09:26] ---
    I'm not asking you to join us…
[09:29] ---
    I don't care if you stay with the Leaf.
[09:31] ---
    We can travel from nation to nation,
[09:33] ---
    like Jiraiya Sensei, and cross over
    meaningless borders…
[09:37] ---
    Let's show the world
    that we're free!
[09:42] ---
    What does that mean?
[09:43] ---
    Well, it's kinda unclear…
[09:48] ---
    In other words,
    be like Team Jiraiya, right?
[09:52] ---
    I want our aspirations
    to be united…with you.
[09:57] ---
    You haven't even told us where
    Asuma Sensei and the others are…
[10:01] ---
    We're not that naïve…
[10:03] ---
    First, you have to help us
    get Asuma Sensei back.
[10:07] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[10:12] ---
    We can't help you with that.
[10:17] ---
    There's someone else
    pulling the strings, isn't there?
[10:21] ---
    This "test" doesn't seem
    to be your idea either.
[10:26] ---
    Sorry. They haven't given us
    the details.
[10:31] ---
    You don't have the details,
[10:33] ---
    but you have some idea
    of what's going on.
[10:40] ---
    What a drag…
[10:43] ---
    I guess it means
    we'll have to fight it out…
[10:47] ---
    If we're at odds with each other…
[10:50] ---
    there's no other way.
[11:03] ---
    One of yours?
[11:05] ---
    Yeah, three plus a dog.
[11:09] ---
    And they're strong.
[11:11] ---
    Are you implying that we're weak?
[11:24] ---
    Shikamaru! Choji! Ino!
[11:27] ---
    Hey.
[11:28] ---
    We were waiting for you.
[11:32] ---
    You're late.
[11:34] ---
    Oh, we ran into some trouble.
[11:38] ---
    Wasn't someone else just here?
[11:41] ---
    No…
[11:43] ---
    It's just been us all this time…
[11:45] ---
    Strange…
[11:47] ---
    I caught scent of a few others…
[11:51] ---
    Oh, really?
[11:52] ---
    Anyway…
[11:53] ---
    What do we do, Shikamaru?
[11:55] ---
    Yeah! That's why
    we rushed over here!
[12:00] ---
    Yes, we'd like you to take the lead.
[12:06] ---
    Our first priority is to report
    on the situation to the village.
[12:10] ---
    We need to get instructions
    from Lord Fourth.
[12:12] ---
    Of course…
[12:14] ---
    We'll do what we can to get Asuma
    and the others back!
[12:23] ---
    In order to allocate the tasks,
[12:25] ---
    we'll join up with
    Teams Kakashi and Guy.
[12:29] ---
    It's a drag…
    but let's wrap this up quick!
[12:37] ---
    We can't waste any more time.
[12:41] ---
    We'll return to the village immediately
    and report on the situation.
[12:44] ---
    We can't afford any more casualties.
[12:47] ---
    What are you saying?!
[12:48] ---
    We've already lost Guy Sensei.
[12:50] ---
    And now, even Neji is missing!
[12:52] ---
    And Naruto from your team!
[12:55] ---
    This all started because
    he took off on his own.
[12:59] ---
    After I warned him not
    to make a move…
[13:01] ---
    We're from the class
    ahead of yours,
[13:03] ---
    so we don't know him that well…
[13:05] ---
    But isn't he an important friend
    and member of Team 7?
[13:10] ---
    Friend?
[13:12] ---
    Not only that…
[13:13] ---
    He's the precious son
    of the Fourth Hokage.
[13:18] ---
    Who cares?
[13:22] ---
    That has nothing to do
    with the mission.
[13:25] ---
    How can you be so cold?!
[13:27] ---
    To me, Guy Sensei is
    a dear mentor!
[13:31] ---
    And Neji is a precious friend.
[13:34] ---
    I can't just turn my back on them!
[13:36] ---
    Lee, calm down!
[13:38] ---
    Anyway, I'm going to look
    for Guy Sensei,
[13:41] ---
    Neji and the others!
[13:44] ---
    They're bound to be
    somewhere nearby.
[13:48] ---
    So there's no way I'll stop looking
    and return to the village!
[13:52] ---
    I won't let you.
[13:53] ---
    We have no clue
    what the enemy will do,
[13:56] ---
    so we can't split up
    our fighting power.
[13:58] ---
    We must move together.
[13:59] ---
    Oh! Neji, Guy Sensei!
[14:02] ---
    I'm coming to rescue you!
[14:05] ---
    Okay, Lee! I get it!
[14:07] ---
    I'll help you, so please—!
[14:10] ---
    I'm surrounded by idiots.
[14:12] ---
    But…
[14:14] ---
    What are you going to do?
[14:28] ---
    The two teams did
    meet up perfectly…
[14:31] ---
    But now, they're moving
    in different directions.
[14:34] ---
    I wonder if something happened…
[14:37] ---
    Can you tell anything specific?
[14:40] ---
    One group is moving away
    from the village.
[14:42] ---
    The other one is frantically
    scrambling around the village.
[14:45] ---
    That's got to be Lee…
[14:47] ---
    So then Team Kakashi is trying
    to leave the village?
[14:50] ---
    Are they heading back to
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
[14:53] ---
    It's plausible.
[14:55] ---
    That's because Sasuke,
    who's cool-headed and rational,
[14:58] ---
    is on Team Kakashi.
[15:01] ---
    Anyway, we'll regroup with
    the ones closest to us.
[15:03] ---
    That would be the group
    in the village, right?
[15:06] ---
    Yeah…
[15:07] ---
    If we're going to rescue
    Asuma and the others,
[15:09] ---
    the last thing we need is someone
    making a fuss and standing out!
[15:13] ---
    We need to go and
    calm Lee down first.
[15:49] ---
    Now, follow me…
[15:52] ---
    If you want to discover
    the true nature of the Hidden Leaf.
[16:29] ---
    What is this?! What's going on?
[16:32] ---
    Old Man Third! And…
[16:34] ---
    Who are the others?
[16:36] ---
    Hey, hey, Neji?
[16:38] ---
    Be quiet!
[16:40] ---
    You can make
    all the noise you want.
[16:42] ---
    These are just images
    of past occurrences
[16:46] ---
    in the Hidden Leaf Village.
[16:48] ---
    It can't be helped.
[16:50] ---
    If my life alone will save the village…
[16:59] ---
    Hiashi… Don't be hasty.
[17:03] ---
    The Hyuga Kekkei Genkai is
    a crucial secret weapon
[17:06] ---
    for the village.
[17:08] ---
    It is your duty as the head
    of the main family to protect it.
[17:13] ---
    But if my duty to my family
[17:16] ---
    results in embroiling the village
    in a hopeless war…
[17:19] ---
    I understand.
[17:21] ---
    That is why there is a branch family.
[17:25] ---
    We have no choice,
    but to hand over…
[17:27] ---
    Hizashi's body as your stand-in.
[17:37] ---
    Father…
[17:39] ---
    Who's that guy?
[17:41] ---
    Do you know him?
[17:43] ---
    Hizashi Hyuga…
[17:45] ---
    He's my father.
[17:48] ---
    It went down exactly
    as Lord Hiashi told me…
[17:52] ---
    Where is the strong-willed Hiashi
    I've always known?
[17:56] ---
    The magnitude of this is greater
    than anything we've faced before.
[18:00] ---
    I can't just agree to it.
[18:06] ---
    Hizashi, you…!
[18:08] ---
    Please let me go.
[18:11] ---
    But you have…Neji!
[18:17] ---
    Why would you choose death
    for the sake of the main family?
[18:23] ---
    You are wrong.
[18:25] ---
    I've always resented
    the main family.
[18:27] ---
    Truth be told,
    I even hate it now.
[18:30] ---
    That's why…
[18:31] ---
    I want to die,
    not to protect the main family…
[18:34] ---
    but to protect you,
    my older brother.
[18:38] ---
    This is the first time in my life
[18:40] ---
    where I have the freedom
    to choose.
[18:47] ---
    I have shown Neji
    only the hateful side of me.
[18:51] ---
    So…
[18:53] ---
    Please relay this to him…
[19:00] ---
    I am not being killed in order
    to protect the main family.
[19:04] ---
    I have chosen death
    of my own free will
[19:07] ---
    to protect him, my brother,
    my family and the village.
[19:13] ---
    Are you saying that choosing death…
[19:17] ---
    is freedom?
[19:20] ---
    Elder Brother,
    just once in my life,
[19:23] ---
    I wanted to change
    my destiny as a Hyuga.
[19:26] ---
    That is all.
[19:34] ---
    Do you get it?
[19:36] ---
    Do you understand how
    he must have felt?
[19:38] ---
    Having no other choice
    but to say those words.
[19:41] ---
    He had to die for
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
[19:44] ---
    It was a fate
    he could not change.
[19:46] ---
    The one sliver of freedom he had
[19:50] ---
    was choosing to die
    to protect the ones he loved.
[19:56] ---
    You're wrong!
[19:57] ---
    The Hidden Leaf isn't like that!
[20:00] ---
    That's my hope too.
[20:03] ---
    It's now the era of
    the younger generation…
[20:06] ---
    and I hope there is change.
[20:09] ---
    H-Huh?
[20:11] ---
    However…
[20:12] ---
    You are already bound
    hand and foot
[20:15] ---
    to the code of the Hidden Leaf.
[20:17] ---
    You have no choice
    over your future
[20:20] ---
    or the future of the village.
[20:22] ---
    I know that now.
[20:25] ---
    That's not true, you—!
[20:27] ---
    And now that you know…
[20:29] ---
    What will you do?
[20:31] ---
    If the village cannot be changed
    from the inside,
[20:34] ---
    there's nothing left but to force
    a change from the outside.
[20:39] ---
    What do you say?
[20:41] ---
    Would you like to follow me?
[20:45] ---
    Neji! You're not thinking of—!
[20:56] ---
    Imagine finding you here…hiding.
[21:01] ---
    It's been a long time…
[21:02] ---
    Orochimaru.
[22:38] ---
    Are you telling me you can change
    the Rules of the Leaf?
    
    
[22:42] ---
    Yes.
    
    
[22:43] ---
    To do so, I need collaborators.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Come with me!
    
    
[22:48] ---
    I understand…
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Neji! Don't go!
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Wait here. I just want to hear
    what he has to say.
