[00:07] ---
    You're wrong!
[00:14] ---
    L-Lady Tsunade?!
[00:16] ---
    What's wrong?!
[00:18] ---
    Jiraiya doesn't understand
    a thing!
[00:21] ---
    Oh, you were just worked up
    over Jiraiya's novel…
[00:24] ---
    It's not funny!
    This is inexcusable!
[00:26] ---
    Even if it's a novel,
    you can't bend the truth!
[00:30] ---
    There's no way Sakura, my beloved pupil,
    would be this meek!
[00:35] ---
    I brought you rice balls
    for dinner,
[00:37] ---
    since I figured they'd be easier
    to eat while you read…
[00:38] ---
    Please take a break.
[00:40] ---
    Is that so? That was quite
    thoughtful of you.
[00:46] ---
    Salty!
[00:50] ---
    What is this?
[00:51] ---
    The picked plum
    is ten years old.
[00:54] ---
    It's too salty!
[01:01] ---
    The tea's just been made
    so it's very hot.
[01:03] ---
    Tell me sooner!

    "The Rules or a Comrade"
[03:04] ---
    The Hyuga's future,
    rather the future of all shinobi,
[03:08] ---
    rests on this test.
[03:11] ---
    Watch carefully until the end.
[03:14] ---
    Their hidden selves will
    soon be revealed.
[03:18] ---
    I won't let them be killed.
[03:35] ---
    How dare you!
[03:36] ---
    How dare you do
    this to Sasuke!
[03:39] ---
    You're such a pain.
[03:41] ---
    Do you want to die too?
[03:44] ---
    Don't forget your purpose!
[03:47] ---
    Your orders were to uncover
    their true selves…
[03:52] ---
    I didn't order you to kill them.
[03:55] ---
    So he was spying on me…
[03:58] ---
    I know. It's just a test, right?
[04:00] ---
    I'll prove to the shinobi
    who's watching all of this…
[04:04] ---
    that there is no future!
[04:21] ---
    Cha!
[05:05] ---
    I removed all the poison.
[05:08] ---
    You'll be okay now.
[05:10] ---
    When did you learn
    Medical Ninjutsu?
[05:13] ---
    I've been secretly apprenticing
    with Lady Tsunade.
[05:17] ---
    Oh, really?
[05:19] ---
    Well, that saved my life.
[05:23] ---
    This is it?
[05:25] ---
    If that was the test,
    what did it prove?
[05:29] ---
    No, there's more.
[05:31] ---
    And it's just about to begin.
[05:42] ---
    Your Chakra Points are clear now.
[05:44] ---
    You should be able to move.
[05:49] ---
    Th-Thanks, Pervy Sage.
[05:54] ---
    Take these pills…
    They'll replenish your chakra.
[05:57] ---
    Okay.
[06:01] ---
    Why are you here, Pervy Sage?
[06:03] ---
    I've been searching for
    a certain someone
[06:06] ---
    and came upon some intel,
[06:09] ---
    so I stopped by
    the Hidden Leaf Village…
[06:12] ---
    I heard about what
    was going on here
[06:14] ---
    and convinced Minato
    to transport me here.
[06:17] ---
    I'm surprised he knew
    where I was.
[06:20] ---
    Apparently, the seal that
    Minato placed inside you
[06:23] ---
    also has a Marking.
[06:26] ---
    As long as you have the Marking,
[06:27] ---
    his jutsu can
    get us to you instantly,
[06:29] ---
    no matter how far away you are.
[06:32] ---
    Aww Dad!
[06:33] ---
    By the way, how is everyone?
[06:37] ---
    Kakashi Sensei and the other captains
    have been abducted.
[06:40] ---
    Neji and I were
    locked up in here.
[06:43] ---
    Oh. And then what…?
[06:45] ---
    Neji went off with
    a guy wearing a mask.
[06:49] ---
    And you saw the rest…
[06:51] ---
    Damn it!
[06:52] ---
    If I only had more power,
[06:54] ---
    I could've beaten up that
    masked guy…
[06:57] ---
    and gone to save Kakashi Sensei
    and the others!
[07:11] ---
    You've still have
    a long ways to go.
[07:12] ---
    Damn it!
[07:14] ---
    Today's the last day
    of this training.
[07:16] ---
    But even when I'm gone,
    keep practicing by yourself.
[07:21] ---
    Do you remember the training
    we did for the Summoning Jutsu?
[07:23] ---
    Yeah! Just the other day,
[07:25] ---
    I was falling toward the bottom
    of the valley and almost died!
[07:28] ---
    But I was able to summon
    the Great Toad!
[07:32] ---
    Is that so?
[07:33] ---
    Okay, try it again right here!
[07:36] ---
    All right!
[07:40] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[07:46] ---
    H-Huh?
[07:49] ---
    No…that's not good.
[07:50] ---
    I see you've been
    ignoring your training.
[07:53] ---
    No! I've been doing
    the training properly!
[07:55] ---
    And besides, Dad's been
    training me separately too.
[08:02] ---
    The first step is…rotation…
[08:11] ---
    Why?!
[08:12] ---
    I sped up the rotation
    of the water inside,
[08:14] ---
    but the water balloon won't break.
[08:30] ---
    That's it!
[08:30] ---
    If I just shake up the water
    inside the balloon
[08:33] ---
    the way the cat did…
[08:54] ---
    Dad?
[08:58] ---
    I was able to do the first part!
[09:00] ---
    I got a hint from the way
    a stray cat was playing
[09:02] ---
    with the water balloon!
[09:04] ---
    So teach me the next part!
[09:07] ---
    Hey, not so fast!
[09:10] ---
    How about a popsicle break?
[09:13] ---
    Huh? Okay…
[09:19] ---
    If I master up to step three,
[09:21] ---
    can you teach me
    the Summoning Jutsu?
[09:24] ---
    If I don't know it by
    the next time I see Pervy Sage,
[09:26] ---
    he's gonna get mad at me.
[09:28] ---
    With anything, you've got to
    take it one step at a time.
[09:31] ---
    Yeah, I got it, Dad.
[09:36] ---
    I was able to summon the Great Toad
    because of Dad's training…
[09:41] ---
    Even though it was only
    that one time.
[09:43] ---
    And that's when I met Nine Tails
    for the first time.
[09:46] ---
    Oh…
[09:49] ---
    All right… Why don't we try it!
[09:51] ---
    Huh?!
[09:52] ---
    I'll weaken the Eight Signed
    Sealing Formula.
[09:54] ---
    Then the Nine Tails' Chakra
    will be released.
[10:00] ---
    But…if you can't control
    that power,
[10:03] ---
    the Nine Tails' will rob you
    of your consciousness.
[10:07] ---
    I'll try it!
[10:07] ---
    Please do it!
[10:11] ---
    Hey, hey…
[10:15] ---
    Stop!
[10:16] ---
    Ouch! What's that for?!
[10:18] ---
    Look!
[10:19] ---
    No more paper shuriken
    are coming at us.
[10:21] ---
    Huh?
[10:25] ---
    You're right.
[10:26] ---
    All signs of the enemy are gone…
[10:29] ---
    Or…something weird is going on…
[10:33] ---
    We were under such heavy attack…
[10:35] ---
    But we're uninjured.
[10:36] ---
    Y-Yes…
[10:38] ---
    Lee! Tenten!
[10:40] ---
    – Kiba!
    – Everyone!
[10:42] ---
    We finally caught up to you!
[10:48] ---
    Where's the enemy?
[10:49] ---
    How many are there?
[10:51] ---
    Well…
[10:53] ---
    I saw with my Byakugan that
[10:54] ---
    you two were being attacked
    and pursued…
[10:58] ---
    Well, you see…
[11:00] ---
    As soon as we got here,
[11:01] ---
    all signs of them
    suddenly disappeared.
[11:03] ---
    Disappeared?
[11:04] ---
    Yes…almost as if
    a fox spirited them away.
[11:08] ---
    Where is Neji?
[11:11] ---
    Naruto fell into the enemy's trap.
[11:15] ---
    And Neji went after him.
[11:17] ---
    Naruto too?
[11:18] ---
    Wait a minute.
[11:20] ---
    This scent…
[11:22] ---
    Sasuke and Sakura
    should be nearby too!
[11:25] ---
    Byakugan!
[11:33] ---
    We must hurry!
[11:35] ---
    I see a shadowy, enemy-like figure
    approaching them,
[11:37] ---
    but Sasuke and Sakura
    seem unaware of it!
[11:53] ---
    Hey, hey!
[11:55] ---
    You promised!
[11:56] ---
    You're going to help me
    train today right?
[12:00] ---
    Sorry, Sasuke…
[12:03] ---
    Lord Fourth just summoned me.
[12:06] ---
    I was looking forward to having you
    watch me, Big Brother.
[12:11] ---
    Definitely next time.
[12:13] ---
    You should go ask Father
    to help you today.
[12:16] ---
    Uh-huh.
[12:29] ---
    A-Amazing…
[12:34] ---
    This is the fundamental ninjutsu
    of the Uchiha Clan…
[12:36] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
[12:38] ---
    I've already shown you
    the hand signs.
[12:41] ---
    Build up and infuse your chakra,
    focus it at a point in your chest.
[12:45] ---
    Then release it in
    one large breath.
[12:48] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:51] ---
    Father is teaching me
    the jutsu himself!
[12:57] ---
    Father finally acknowledges me!
[13:02] ---
    I can't disappoint him!
[13:08] ---
    I can do it!
[13:12] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
[13:25] ---
    Why did I think
    you would be like Itachi?
[13:32] ---
    It's too soon,
    you're not ready yet.
[13:46] ---
    – Sakura!
    – Yes!
[13:52] ---
    I wasn't able to inflict
    a fatal wound with my attack…
[13:57] ---
    There is a limit to life.
[14:00] ---
    But, art is forever.
[14:03] ---
    Do you want to see…
[14:05] ---
    my everlasting army?
[14:08] ---
    Every one of them is
    a truly valuable work of art
[14:11] ---
    that surpasses life.
[14:13] ---
    Secret Red Move: Performance
    of a Hundred Puppets!
[14:26] ---
    One hundred puppets.
[14:37] ---
    All these puppets…
[14:39] ---
    This is impossible…
[14:42] ---
    Now, what are you going to do?
[14:44] ---
    Are you going to fight each
    of my 100 pieces of art?
[14:48] ---
    Or will you just cower in fear?
[14:51] ---
    I will let you decide.
[15:02] ---
    He said he was the gatekeeper…
[15:05] ---
    If that's true…
[15:06] ---
    These guys are preventing us
    from returning
[15:09] ---
    to the Hidden Leaf Village.
[15:12] ---
    And as long as
    we don't try to pass them,
[15:14] ---
    they won't attack.
[15:16] ---
    Can Sakura and I take
    on 100 puppets
[15:19] ---
    and make it through?
[15:22] ---
    That's close to impossible.
[15:26] ---
    However, if we had more
    on our side…
[15:31] ---
    Everyone!
[15:35] ---
    Finally, we're able to rendezvous.
[15:42] ---
    We're going to hide
    our presence for a while…
[15:55] ---
    What's going on?
[16:01] ---
    Are they puppets?
[16:03] ---
    Yeah, a hundred of them.
[16:08] ---
    On our side…
[16:09] ---
    There are ten including me…
    plus a dog.
[16:13] ---
    What happened here?
[16:15] ---
    A puppet user brought them out
    to create a blockade.
[16:19] ---
    A blockade?
[16:20] ---
    Where's the puppet user?
[16:22] ---
    He's watching to see what
    our next move will be.
[16:25] ---
    Sasuke, what did you
    first intend on doing?
[16:28] ---
    If we want Lord Fourth to
    conduct a rescue mission,
[16:31] ---
    we have to return quickly to
    the village and report back to him.
[16:34] ---
    But if we bring down
    all 100 puppets here,
[16:36] ---
    we can get out of here.
[16:38] ---
    You sure make it sound easy.
[16:40] ---
    But it's not impossible…right?
[16:43] ---
    If we're going to complete
    our mission,
[16:46] ---
    we have no other choice.
[16:47] ---
    Wait! We're not going back
    to the village!
[16:49] ---
    We're not giving up on rescuing
    the team captains.
[16:53] ---
    You plan on abandoning
    the mission?
[16:55] ---
    No, that's not it.
[16:57] ---
    That's because there's also the option
    of breaking up into two teams:
[17:00] ---
    one to look for the captains and
    one to report back to the village.
[17:03] ---
    No…
[17:05] ---
    I also think we should stick together
    and work as one team.
[17:09] ---
    What? Shikamaru!
    What the hell are you—?!
[17:12] ---
    In the beginning, I agreed
[17:14] ---
    that we should break up
    into two groups.
[17:16] ---
    But a lot of time has passed.
[17:19] ---
    We should keep into account
    that the longer time passes,
[17:22] ---
    the less successful our chances of
    finding Asuma and the others will be.
[17:25] ---
    Put simply, we don't have the time
    to return to Hidden Leaf Village.
[17:29] ---
    Not to mention,
    if we fight all those puppets,
[17:32] ---
    we'll exhaust all our time.
[17:40] ---
    Why did I think
    you would be like Itachi?
[17:44] ---
    Well, Sasuke?
[17:46] ---
    Will you come with us?
[17:50] ---
    I'm not coming with you.
[17:53] ---
    I'll do things my way,
    on my own.
[18:02] ---
    We were able to gather
    the Leaf genin in one location…
[18:06] ---
    but things don't look so good.
[18:08] ---
    Are they arguing?
[18:10] ---
    Why?
[18:12] ---
    If they try to break through
    that barrier of puppets,
[18:15] ---
    it would mean they chose
    to stick to the rules
[18:17] ---
    and place priority on their mission.
[18:21] ---
    But…
[18:22] ---
    If they ignore the puppets
    to go find their comrades…
[18:27] ---
    it will mean that nothing
    could sway them and
[18:29] ---
    they made a choice of
    their own free will…
[18:33] ---
    out of a desire to save their friends.
[18:36] ---
    When they finally coalesce into
    a group of Hidden Leaf Shinobi,
[18:42] ---
    which option will they choose?
[18:54] ---
    What will they choose to do?
[18:57] ---
    That's when we'll see the true nature
    of these young shinobi.
[19:08] ---
    Understand?
[19:09] ---
    When the Eight Signed Sealing
    is weakened,
[19:12] ---
    I don't even know
    what will happen!
[19:15] ---
    All right.
[19:16] ---
    But if worse comes to worst…
[19:17] ---
    I, Jiraiya, one of
    the Legendary Sannin will stop it.
[19:21] ---
    I'll leave it to you!
[19:41] ---
    Three tails in no time!
[19:44] ---
    Naruto! Hold back your chakra
    right there!
[19:47] ---
    What?
[20:05] ---
    The seal that keeps me
    bound is weakening!
[20:10] ---
    Hey, demon-fox!
[20:12] ---
    Lend me your power!
[20:24] ---
    Strengthen your resolve!
[20:26] ---
    Use your will to control
    the Nine Tails' Chakra!
[20:50] ---
    A fourth tail?!
[20:52] ---
    I guess it was still too soon
    for Naruto
[20:54] ---
    to be able to control
    the Nine Tails' Chakra…
[22:37] ---
    One of your apprentices
    will prevent
    
    
[22:40] ---
    a great catastrophe
    in the Ninja World.
    
    
[22:44] ---
    But if they go down
    the wrong path,
    
    
[22:48] ---
    they will bring about great ruin.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    You said,
    one of my apprentices?
    
    
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Child of Prophecy."
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Impossible. To think the one who might
    bring about great ruin is—?!
