[00:07] ---
You really don't have
any manners do you, child?
[00:42] ---
When you address someone
who's higher-ranking than you...
[00:48] ---
it's common courtesy
to show your face.
[01:40] ---
He's covered with wounds...
[02:18] ---
Looks like it's over...
[02:26] ---
Naruto!
[04:00] ---
The Secret of the Battle!
[04:25] ---
All right... I'll listen to you.
[04:28] ---
To tell the truth,
[04:30] ---
ever since the Destruction
of the Leaf incident,
[04:32] ---
Danzo has been yearning...
[04:35] ---
for an opportunity to come in contact
with you, Lord Orochimaru.
[05:34] ---
His wounds are slow to heal...
[05:37] ---
Up to now,
[05:38] ---
*Naruto has always been a fast healer
using the Nine-Tailed Chakra...
[05:44] ---
Naruto, being in
the Nine-Tail's state ...
[05:47] ---
At first glance, it appears that
he is being protected
[05:50] ---
by the Nine-tail's Cloak created
by the Chakra...
[05:53] ---
But in actuality,
[05:54] ---
his body is continuing to suffer damage
from the Nine-tail's Cloak
[05:59] ---
After the fourth tail formed,
[06:02] ---
his body, wrapped in
the Nine-Tail's Cloak, grew bloodied...
[06:06] ---
and he thrashed about
despite suffering serious injuries.
[06:11] ---
*The fourth tail that Jiraiya
was talking about...
[06:14] ---
*I wouldn't have imagined that
it would be as powerful as this...
[06:48] ---
Captain Yamato...
[06:52] ---
That Jutsu that stopped Naruto
earlier on...
[06:55] ---
Would you teach me that Jutsu...?
[07:01] ---
That's not possible...
[07:08] ---
The only person in the Leaf Village
who can use that Jutsu is me,
[07:11] ---
since I inherited the First Hokage's cells.
[07:17] ---
What that Jutsu does is
forcibly suppress the Nine-Tail's Chakra...
[07:23] ---
It's impossible for someone
without that special power to use it.
[07:30] ---
My power, which is just
an experimental copy,
[07:33] ---
is certainly not on the same level as
the First Hokage's original.
[07:40] ---
What Naruto has hanging around
his neck is something
[07:43] ---
that belonged to the First Hokage...
[07:46] ---
It's a Chakra crystal that
only resonates
[07:50] ---
to the First Hokage's Chakra.
[07:55] ---
With that necklace,
one can control a Jinchuriki's Chakra.
[08:00] ---
It is said that this power is
the very reason
[08:03] ---
that the First Hokage
became the Hokage.
[08:07] ---
And it's also the reason that
[08:09] ---
I was chosen to be
the Captain of this team...
[08:23] ---
It's always like this...
[08:31] ---
All I can ever do for Naruto...
[08:36] ---
are the smallest things.
[08:47] ---
It's not important whether
the things you do are large or small.
[08:53] ---
What's important...
[08:55] ---
is the magnitude of the feelings
you have for Naruto.
[09:01] ---
Sakura... I can tell that when
I look at you.
[09:08] ---
You truly...
[09:09] ---
S-Sakura...
[09:20] ---
Owww!
[09:25] ---
Naruto...!
[09:29] ---
What happened to me...?
[09:31] ---
I was chasing that jerk Orochimaru...
and then...
[09:38] ---
And then, what did I do after that?
[09:42] ---
Hey, Sakura...
[09:45] ---
Huh?
[09:47] ---
Why are you crying, Sakura?
[09:51] ---
I just got something in my eyes...
[09:53] ---
That acid-tongued Sai said something
abusive to you again, right?
[09:57] ---
Like, "You're ugly!"
[09:59] ---
Or, "You're Herculean!"
[10:03] ---
That jerk!
[10:07] ---
Sai hasn't called me Herculean...!
[10:11] ---
R-Really?
[10:13] ---
Don't make up stuff...
You jerk!
[10:22] ---
By the way...
Captain Yamato...
[10:25] ---
Where's Sai?
[10:33] ---
That's everything that Danzo
asked me to convey.
[10:38] ---
That's extremely interesting...
[11:21] ---
And...about that story...
[11:25] ---
Why should I believe it?
[11:49] ---
What's going on here?
[11:51] ---
Just calm down...Kabuto.
[11:55] ---
That child is going to be one of
our subordinates starting today.
[12:00] ---
Can you trust...this guy...?
[12:04] ---
Look inside that envelope.
[12:09] ---
It's for you, from Danzo.
[12:44] ---
This is...
[12:46] ---
What does it say?
[12:52] ---
Kabuto, let go of that child
[12:57] ---
We're taking that child along with us.
[13:09] ---
Sai...was it?
[13:10] ---
Shall we go then...?
[13:24] ---
Just as I thought...
[13:31] ---
Captain Yamato?
[13:33] ---
Sai is...
[13:36] ---
Wait a moment...
[13:51] ---
The bridge...
[13:57] ---
I did plant one on him back at
the hot springs, just in case...
[14:01] ---
Oh well. I'll continue
the pursuit as is.
[14:05] ---
I might not look it,
[14:06] ---
but pursuit is actually one of
my strong points.
[14:17] ---
Captain Yamato...
[14:19] ---
Oh yeah...
[14:21] ---
Right now, Sai is...
[14:24] ---
traveling together with Orochimaru.
[14:30] ---
Together with...?
[14:33] ---
What does that mean?
[14:36] ---
Both of you follow me.
[14:51] ---
The earth is still soft.
[15:05] ---
The bridge is busted...
[15:08] ---
and this place is in
such an awful state...
[15:12] ---
What the heck...happened?
[15:16] ---
Don't you remember?
[15:25] ---
*So it's just as
Master Jiraiya said, huh...?
[15:30] ---
His anger becomes the trigger...
[15:33] ---
*And as the number of Fox Spirit tails
he grew increased,
[15:36] ---
*he maintained consciousness
up until the third tail.
[15:42] ---
*But by the fourth tail,
he had lost all rationality...
[15:45] ---
*and was controlled
by destructive impulses.
[15:56] ---
Come to think of it...
[15:58] ---
why was I unconscious?
[16:11] ---
You were unconscious because
you got creamed by Orochimaru.
[16:18] ---
Are you serious?!
Damn!
[16:35] ---
Sai's things are scattered
all over the place...
[16:40] ---
But why is this here...?
[16:43] ---
*A picture book...
This looks interesting...
[16:46] ---
*Hey, can I take a look at it
along the way?
[16:50] ---
*No, you can't...
It's not finished yet...
[16:54] ---
*and I never hand it over
to anyone as a matter of policy.
[17:00] ---
*Because this belonged
to my elder brother.
[17:04] ---
Sai valued this picture book...
[17:08] ---
But despite that,
here it is in a place like this.
[17:12] ---
If he had to leave something
so valuable behind,
[17:15] ---
it demonstrates that he was in
a tense state in front of Orochimaru.
[17:20] ---
You seem to know that as if
you witnessed it yourself.
[17:23] ---
Until earlier on...
[17:24] ---
I placed my Wood Clone here, and
was in communication with it,
[17:27] ---
using the wireless radio
implanted here.
[17:32] ---
What happened to Sai?
[17:35] ---
After Sai's...conversation
with Orochimaru,
[17:41] ---
he went away with Orochimaru
and Kabuto.
[17:45] ---
What does that mean?!
[17:46] ---
What did they talk about?
[17:48] ---
They were talking a distance away...
[17:49] ---
so I couldn't make out
the conversation.
[17:52] ---
I wonder what
they were talking about?
[17:55] ---
He might have been kidnapped
and taken away.
[17:57] ---
No, it seems that he approached
Orochimaru of his own volition...
[18:02] ---
and handed him something.
[18:05] ---
It was just like he was trying
to cozy up to Orochimaru...
[18:08] ---
W-Wait a minute!
[18:11] ---
Even a disgusting guy like him
wouldn't betray us, would he?
[18:14] ---
No, there is a possibility...
[18:24] ---
A long time ago,
[18:26] ---
*he competed with
the late Sarutobi Sensei...
[18:28] ---
*over the position of
the Third Hokage.
[18:32] ---
Unlike the Third Hokage,
[18:34] ---
*he's the leader of
a hard-line military faction...
[18:36] ---
*based on rigid logic...
and is Sai's superior.
[18:41] ---
He hates me because...
[18:43] ---
*I'm the granddaughter
of the First Hokage...
[18:45] ---
*as well as a student of
the Third Hokage who was moderate...
[18:52] ---
Captain Yamato, do you know
a person named Danzo...?
[18:55] ---
Yes, I know him.
[18:56] ---
Who is...that guy?
[18:59] ---
A man from the Hawk Faction who
in the past opposed the Third Hokage.
[19:03] ---
He's Sai's boss...
[19:05] ---
And an old gramps who doesn't
think well of the Third Hokage's will.
[19:09] ---
Danzo may be using Sai to make
some kind of move.
[19:18] ---
It's possible that...
[19:20] ---
Sai may have been given
a mission...
[19:21] ---
by Danzo that is separate from ours...
[19:24] ---
There is a possibility that
he was charged...
[19:27] ---
with some kind
of top-secret mission...
[19:30] ---
So he's just using our mission...
[19:33] ---
in order to make contact
with Orochimaru?!
[19:37] ---
That's the gist of it.
[19:42] ---
This may sound like
an over-the-top theory...
[19:45] ---
but it is not outside the realm
of possibility...so listen carefully.
[19:55] ---
Danzo...
[19:58] ---
may be trying to destroy
the Hidden Leaf Village!
[21:38] ---
Lord Orochimaru...
[21:39] ---
I already know that, Kabuto.
[21:42] ---
It looks like we're being followed.
[21:44] ---
I wonder whether
we're simply being followed...
[21:46] ---
or whether that guy, Sai,
is a conspirator.
[21:49] ---
Are you suspecting him?
[21:51] ---
After all, I don't trust him yet.
[21:53] ---
Well, whatever the case,
we can't split up right now.
[21:58] ---
In other words...
[21:59] ---
we may need a corpse, right,
Kabuto?
