[00:04] ---
    What a nice day…
[00:06] ---
    But…
[00:08] ---
    Damn that Jiraiya!
[00:10] ---
    Why'd he write a story with
    such a bad ending?
[00:13] ---
    I need to know how
    the story continues…
[00:16] ---
    Oh…
[00:17] ---
    I thought you might like
    a little something for tea…
[00:19] ---
    Perhaps this was a bad time?
[00:21] ---
    No, not at all!
[00:23] ---
    I was feeling a little hungry…
[00:25] ---
    Oh good. Please eat.
[00:27] ---
    These are mugwort dumplings
    from Amaguriama.
[00:35] ---
    There's nothing like something sweet
    to wake up a tired mind!
[00:43] ---
    Okay, continuing on.
[00:45] ---
    PART TWO
    
[00:54] ---
    Thanks to your efforts,
    the mission was successful.
[00:58] ---
    Good job!
[01:00] ---
    Is what I'd like to say…
[01:02] ---
    But that's not quite
    the case, is it?
[01:08] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[01:10] ---
    I'm the one
    who disobeyed orders first.
[01:13] ---
    Please punish me
    as you see fit.
[01:14] ---
    Neji, you aren't the only one at fault.
[01:16] ---
    He's right!
[01:18] ---
    If you put it like that,
    I was the first…
[01:20] ---
    But…we had no choice at the time.
[01:24] ---
    But breaking the rules
    is breaking the rules.
[01:27] ---
    But–!
[01:28] ---
    Hey, this isn't the place to argue.
[01:31] ---
    There's no doubt they may
    have acted carelessly.
[01:35] ---
    But their cleverness saved us.
    That's a fact.
[01:40] ---
    Please go easy on them.
[01:46] ---
    Well, since you put it like that…
[01:49] ---
    Disobeying orders cannot
    be overlooked.
[01:52] ---
    But there are special circumstances
    in all missions.
[01:56] ---
    Decisions must be made depending
    on the situation at hand,
[01:58] ---
    and you must make
    the best possible choice.
[02:01] ---
    In this case,
[02:03] ---
    everyone joined together to
    make the mission a success.
[02:08] ---
    That has to be factored
    into the evaluation.
[02:12] ---
    Lord Fourth, does that mean…?
[02:14] ---
    That no one is at fault…
    I suppose.
[02:19] ---
    Yes!
[02:21] ---
    Way to go!
[03:58] ---
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero-
    Returning Home.
    
    
    
[04:03] ---
    I thought he was gonna
    give it to us!
[04:06] ---
    I guess Lord Hokage has
    a soft spot for family members.
[04:09] ---
    Are you still stuck on that?
[04:12] ---
    I still don't acknowledge you.
[04:14] ---
    Let it go already.
[04:15] ---
    We got off easy and it's over.
[04:18] ---
    Still, Naruto, you were amazing.
[04:21] ---
    Yeah, I see you in
    a different light now.
[04:24] ---
    Yes, you really trained hard, Naruto.
[04:29] ---
    Well, yeah, I guess.
[04:31] ---
    Anyway, let's go get something
    to eat and talk about it!
[04:34] ---
    So ridiculous.
[04:36] ---
    Hey, are you leaving?
[04:39] ---
    Oh, just let him go.
[04:40] ---
    It's barbecue time!
[04:42] ---
    What is with that guy?
[04:48] ---
    LEAF HOSPITAL
    
    I said no visitors!
    And you push your way in.
[04:53] ---
    You always overreact.
[04:56] ---
    The situation is under control.
[04:58] ---
    Still, I'm just worried.
[05:01] ---
    I'm sorry. My son is to blame.
[05:04] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[05:07] ---
    An injury like this is nothing.
[05:10] ---
    Even though he's still a bit clumsy,
[05:13] ---
    I can't believe how Naruto controlled
    the Nine Tails' Chakra…
[05:18] ---
    Perhaps he really is
    the "Child of Prophecy"
[05:21] ---
    that I've been searching for.
[05:23] ---
    You think he's that big of a deal?
[05:28] ---
    But we can't rest easy.
[05:31] ---
    There's still that one issue.
[05:34] ---
    Orochimaru…
[05:37] ---
    When I found his hideout…
[05:49] ---
    I found you, Orochimaru.
[05:52] ---
    I can't believe you would actually
    come all this way…
[05:59] ---
    Orochimaru, your appearance!
[06:01] ---
    What in the…?
[06:03] ---
    Oh this… I just obtained
    a new body.
[06:07] ---
    Don't tell me you hijacked
    someone else's body?
[06:11] ---
    My goal is for perpetual youth
    and longevity.
[06:13] ---
    To be young,
    strong and beautiful.
[06:15] ---
    It's what everyone yearns for.
[06:18] ---
    But this is just a temporary vessel.
[06:21] ---
    In three years,
[06:22] ---
    which is when I'll be able to
    use this jutsu again,
[06:25] ---
    I'll find a body
    that's even more beautiful.
[06:28] ---
    Not likely.
    Your scheme ends here!
[06:32] ---
    Earth Style! The Dark Swamp!
[06:37] ---
    Too bad, I've already seen
    through your tricks.
[06:40] ---
    What?
[06:51] ---
    He got away!
[06:53] ---
    I'm not giving up.
[06:56] ---
    If I look around, maybe I'll find
    some clues to his next move…
[07:11] ---
    This is–!
[07:12] ---
    I have to let Minato
    know right away.
[07:15] ---
    Damn it!
[07:16] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[07:23] ---
    From that scroll, there's no doubt
    that Orochimaru was involved
[07:27] ---
    in this recent incident…
[07:30] ---
    But we don't know what
    to expect out of this.
[07:33] ---
    In any case,
    we should be vigilant.
[07:37] ---
    Well then, I'd better do
    what I can on my side.
[07:41] ---
    Excuse me.
[07:44] ---
    Minato seems as busy as ever.
[07:47] ---
    Well, we can't say the Hidden Leaf Village
    is completely at peace.
[07:51] ---
    We were able to quell
    a coup d'état by the Uchiha,
[07:55] ---
    but we haven't gotten to
    the root of the problem yet.
[07:58] ---
    But Minato intends to use this
[08:01] ---
    as an opportunity to
    confront them directly.
[08:04] ---
    Oh?
[08:23] ---
    So disobeying orders got you
    involved in unnecessary trouble.
[08:29] ---
    Nearly everyone in
    the Uchiha Clan is
[08:31] ---
    a respected member of
    the Leaf Police Force.
[08:34] ---
    This sets a bad example.
[08:36] ---
    Well… There was someone
    who acted recklessly!
[08:39] ---
    Not being able to stop him
    shows your inability.
[08:44] ---
    Yes.
[08:46] ---
    You must be aware that this is
    a crucial time for the Uchiha.
[08:50] ---
    Your older brother would
    have done better.
[08:55] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:58] ---
    I'm back, Father.
[09:00] ---
    Oh, I've been waiting for you, Itachi.
[09:03] ---
    Did I interrupt?
[09:05] ---
    It's all right. Tell me what
    you have to report.
[09:10] ---
    I'll excuse myself.
[09:17] ---
    BARBE-Q
    
[09:23] ---
    Delish!
[09:25] ---
    There's nothing like barbecue
    after a mission.
[09:27] ---
    Damn Sasuke…
    Acting stuck up…
[09:30] ---
    Well, he could just be really busy…
[09:34] ---
    Damn it, we can't let
    Naruto show us up!
[09:38] ---
    Let's train hard from
    now on too, Akamaru.
[09:43] ---
    Still, this incident left
    a bad aftertaste, didn't it?
[09:48] ---
    Who would have thought
    it would end like that…
[09:57] ---
    I don't get them!
[09:59] ---
    Those guys said the stupid test
    was over…
[10:01] ---
    And that they needed to take
    the villagers back to their homes.
[10:04] ---
    I can't believe
    they blew up the entire village.
[10:07] ---
    The children we rescued
    were there too.
[10:11] ---
    Perhaps they were erasing evidence?
[10:14] ---
    If that's the case,
    they're horrible!
[10:17] ---
    They don't deserve to
    call themselves Team Jiraiya…
[10:20] ---
    If I see them again,
    they're gonna pay!
[10:22] ---
    That's right! We'll get them for sure!
[10:25] ---
    Right, Shikamaru?
[10:27] ---
    Y-Yeah…
[10:36] ---
    Father's right.
    If Naruto hadn't acted on his own…
[10:45] ---
    Shiro…
[10:46] ---
    Come to think of it…
[10:48] ---
    He rescued you.
[10:53] ---
    But it's different this time.
[10:54] ---
    We were in the middle of
    a mission.
[11:01] ---
    We were lucky it went well.
[11:03] ---
    But even still,
    everyone's too easy on the guy.
[11:08] ---
    Did Father lecture you again?
[11:12] ---
    Well, it's nothing new.
[11:14] ---
    I see.
[11:16] ---
    But think of it this way… It's because
    Father has high hopes for you.
[11:20] ---
    Also, our clan is in
    a precarious position right now.
[11:25] ---
    We attempted
    a dangerous coup d'état…
[11:28] ---
    and forced the Hokage
    to accept our conditions.
[11:32] ---
    We can't afford to give him
    any opportunity to reverse that.
[11:36] ---
    Ever since the rebellion
    by our ancestor Madara,
[11:38] ---
    this ability of ours has been feared,
[11:40] ---
    and we were banished far
    from the central government.
[11:42] ---
    In order to change our situation…
[11:48] ---
    But can we trust them to
    keep their promise?
[11:51] ---
    Don't worry.
[11:53] ---
    That's why I've been assigned
    to watch the Hokage.
[11:56] ---
    Big Brother…
[11:58] ---
    In time, you and I will be
    the ones to support the Uchiha Clan.
[12:02] ---
    In order to protect our future,
[12:04] ---
    I intend to find out what
    the Fourth is really thinking.
[12:07] ---
    So you have to hang in there too.
[12:10] ---
    Big Brother is amazing!
[12:12] ---
    So I'm not about to let a guy
    like that outdo me either!
[12:25] ---
    Teach me a new jutsu.
[12:28] ---
    What a surprise!
    It's rare to see you so eager.
[12:32] ---
    I need to get stronger.
[12:34] ---
    And I need to learn
    a definitive jutsu for that.
[12:38] ---
    Well then, I have just
    the perfect jutsu.
[12:43] ---
    When combined with
    the foresight of the Sharingan,
[12:45] ---
    it culminates into a penetrating
    technique of lightning speed.
[12:50] ---
    In other words,
    the Chidori, huh?
[12:56] ---
    Even though we just got back
    from a mission,
[12:59] ---
    Sasuke's really working hard!
[13:00] ---
    What are you saying?
[13:02] ---
    Not missing a moment to
    start training on a new jutsu
[13:04] ---
    is just Sasuke for you.
[13:06] ---
    You guys should be
    more like him!
[13:08] ---
    What a drag.
[13:10] ---
    Hey, is that true?
[13:13] ---
    Is Sasuke learning a new jutsu?
[13:15] ---
    Yeah.
[13:16] ---
    He's with Kakashi Sensei right now
    at the training grounds.
[13:18] ---
    Seriously?! Damn it!
[13:20] ---
    He's getting a leg-up on me!
[13:22] ---
    Hey, don't get all excited.
[13:25] ---
    After all, you just mastered
    an amazing jutsu yourself.
[13:28] ---
    Sorry, I'll see you guys later!
[13:34] ---
    I told them, no visitors!
[13:37] ---
    Come on…move over, will you?
[13:40] ---
    What's all the racket?
[13:42] ---
    I want you to train me, Pervy Sage!
[13:46] ---
    What brought this on
    all of a sudden?
[13:50] ---
    Whatever, okay.
[13:51] ---
    I have to take it easy
    for a while anyway.
[13:53] ---
    I'll watch over your training a little.
[13:55] ---
    – All right!
    – Jiraiya!
[14:07] ---
    Hey, Sasuke!
[14:14] ---
    What do you want?
[14:15] ---
    I came to tell you that
    I'm starting my training too!
[14:19] ---
    What?
[14:20] ---
    You're pretty dense, aren't you?
[14:21] ---
    I'm saying that you'll have
    to acknowledge me
[14:24] ---
    when I master a new jutsu
    before you do!
[14:27] ---
    How stupid.
[14:28] ---
    What did you say?!
[14:29] ---
    I don't consider you competition.
[14:32] ---
    I have much higher goals.
[14:35] ---
    I'll make you take back
    those words!
[14:37] ---
    I swear it!
[14:39] ---
    Hey, Naruto!
[14:41] ---
    Sorry to interrupt!
[14:45] ---
    What's he so worked up about?
[14:48] ---
    I don't know.
[14:49] ---
    Anyway, let's continue.
[14:55] ---
    It's unlike you to pick a fight.
[14:59] ---
    Who cares?
[15:00] ---
    This gets me more fired up!
[15:02] ---
    So he's the kid you don't
    want to lose to?
[15:08] ---
    Just watch me, Sasuke!
[15:11] ---
    I won't lose.
[15:14] ---
    And I'm going to get Father to
    acknowledge me as soon as possible!
[15:24] ---
    Focus more!
[15:26] ---
    And pull out the Nine Tails
    chakra with authority!
[15:37] ---
    Did you hurt yourself?
[15:39] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[15:41] ---
    Let me continue.
[15:47] ---
    Sasuke's training looks terrifying.
[15:51] ---
    I'm kinda scared.
[15:53] ---
    Dummy! That's what makes it
    so cool!
[15:56] ---
    Those guys are such a drag.
[16:07] ---
    Is this the report on
    the Uchiha incident?
[16:10] ---
    I expected opposition
    from the advisors,
[16:14] ---
    but I didn't think there would be
    such an uproar from the other clans.
[16:18] ---
    Everyone is afraid.
[16:20] ---
    That clan has
    a history of betrayal,
[16:22] ---
    and they tend to keep
    to themselves.
[16:25] ---
    Coupled with their keen abilities,
    they just appear more suspicious.
[16:31] ---
    There are also
    the lingering suspicions
[16:33] ---
    surrounding the coup d'état
    we just prevented.
[16:36] ---
    But we can't go back on our promise.
[16:39] ---
    I know that.
[16:41] ---
    But the governing body can't ignore
[16:44] ---
    the voices of opposition
    when it's this strong.
[16:47] ---
    We'll just have to keep trying
    to persuade them.
[16:50] ---
    Anyway, so that's the gist of it.
[16:52] ---
    Can you give us
    a little more time?
[16:58] ---
    I beg your pardon…
    I overheard you.
[17:01] ---
    I'm sorry I wasn't able
    to accomplish much.
[17:04] ---
    No…
    I'm actually a bit surprised.
[17:07] ---
    I thought it was just
    an empty promise
[17:10] ---
    that you had no intention
    of keeping.
[17:13] ---
    You're not the type to be fooled
    by something like that.
[17:16] ---
    Besides, I want to prevent
    any calamity
[17:20] ---
    that falls within my range of power.
[17:23] ---
    When Master Jiraiya was
    on Mount Myoboku,
[17:25] ---
    he was given a prophecy.
[17:27] ---
    That the Shinobi World will
    be wrought with many calamities…
[17:31] ---
    And among Master Jiraiya's pupils
    is a "Child of Prophecy"
[17:35] ---
    who is destined
    to cast them away…
[17:39] ---
    in order to lead the world
    in a better direction.
[17:42] ---
    Does that refer to Naruto?
[17:45] ---
    I don't know.
    Sensei has many pupils.
[17:49] ---
    I'm also one of them.
[17:52] ---
    In any case, villages plagued
    with problems will be vulnerable.
[17:58] ---
    For my son and your younger brother…
    For the next generation…
[18:03] ---
    I want to leave them
    a peaceful village.
[18:21] ---
    It's taking shape considerably.
[18:23] ---
    It better be.
[18:25] ---
    I can't stop now.
[18:27] ---
    With the state you're in,
    we should call it a day.
[18:30] ---
    We can resume tomorrow.
[18:43] ---
    They're so carefree.
[18:45] ---
    Listen, Naruto.
[18:48] ---
    This Rasengan is merely
    the foundation.
[18:56] ---
    With further practice,
    it can evolve into new jutsu.
[19:09] ---
    Father…
[19:11] ---
    Oh, it was just you.
[19:15] ---
    I've been practicing a new jutsu.
[19:17] ---
    Is that so? Good for you.
[19:28] ---
    I guess he's not interested.
[19:32] ---
    That's not it.
[19:33] ---
    At this level, my jutsu isn't
    worth the time for Father,
[19:37] ---
    who's responsible for
    the entire Uchiha Clan…
[19:48] ---
    As expected…
[19:50] ---
    I'm amazed at how
    you picked it up so quickly.
[19:53] ---
    That's because I'm an Uchiha.
[20:05] ---
    This jutsu can definitely compete
    with that one. But–!
[20:10] ---
    However...
[20:20] ---
    I will surpass him!
[20:23] ---
    Kakashi, how far can I make
    this Chidori evolve?
[20:29] ---
    Normally, one would just be happy…
[20:32] ---
    But this is just so like you.
[20:35] ---
    So, what's the answer?
[20:37] ---
    Frankly, the Lightning Style consumes
    an enormous amount of chakra.
[20:41] ---
    For someone like me who
    doesn't have lots of chakra,
[20:43] ---
    this is the limit.
[20:45] ---
    So it's impossible?
[20:47] ---
    I didn't say that.
[20:48] ---
    But taking it any further will
    be extremely difficult.
[22:36] ---
    I brought some refreshments!
    Let's have some together.
    
    
[22:39] ---
    You're being a nuisance!
    
    
[22:40] ---
    What are you doing?
    Apologize to Sakura, now!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Don't order me around.
    A loser has no right to talk…
    
    
[22:47] ---
    I'm not a loser!
    
    
[22:49] ---
    I've already caught up to you!
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Us? Equals?
    Impossible.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Mutual Path."
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Do you wanna put that
    to a test right now?
    
    
    
[23:02] ---
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero-
    The Mutual Path.

    Tune in again!
