    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero-
    The Mutual Path
    
    
    
[01:42] ---
    I'll soon reach the limit
    of the Chidori's destructive power.
[01:45] ---
    I just need to make it
    evolve nicely…
[01:48] ---
    But how?
[01:51] ---
    Father!
[01:57] ---
    What's the use if I can't
    even ask him for advice?
[02:00] ---
    I've made up my mind
    to surpass him.
[02:07] ---
    Father, do you have some time?
[02:09] ---
    I'm busy right now.
    Come back later.
[02:16] ---
    Big Brother…
[02:18] ---
    Join us. I have something
    important to discuss.
[02:28] ---
    And have you made up
    your mind?
[02:32] ---
    Yes, Father.
[02:34] ---
    It's what I've decided
[02:36] ---
    after working closely
    with Lord Fourth.
[02:38] ---
    It seems he is serious about
[02:40] ---
    changing the way
    the Uchiha are treated.
[02:44] ---
    I want to believe him.
[02:46] ---
    I see.
[02:47] ---
    However…
[02:48] ---
    That means that
    we must change too.
[02:52] ---
    We've put too much distance
    between everyone else and us.
[02:56] ---
    That has become an obstacle
    to a settlement.
[03:00] ---
    And?
[03:01] ---
    What are your thoughts?
[03:04] ---
    We have to show them
    that we have no ill will.
[03:08] ---
    As a clan who is
    part of this village,
[03:10] ---
    we must pledge loyalty
    to Lord Fourth
[03:13] ---
    and aggressively do
    our best to cooperate—
[03:15] ---
    So they'll accept
    our conditions
[03:18] ---
    only if we show them obedience?!
[03:21] ---
    No, that's not the case.
[03:23] ---
    This is just
    my personal observation.
[03:26] ---
    That's just too convenient…
[03:28] ---
    Be quiet, Sasuke.
[03:30] ---
    This is Itachi talking here…
[03:32] ---
    I'm sure he came to this conclusion
    after careful thought.
[03:34] ---
    But—!
[03:35] ---
    Besides, we have long desired
    to participate in government.
[03:40] ---
    Originally, our ancestors
    chose to live here
[03:43] ---
    after fighting in wars that
    sought blood for blood.
[03:47] ---
    We must strive to
    find common ground.
[03:49] ---
    Thank you.
[03:52] ---
    You always do this, Father!
[03:56] ---
    Anyway, this is sudden, but…
[03:58] ---
    I've been given a request
    from the Hokage.
[04:03] ---
    You're quite cunning…
[04:05] ---
    First, you make sure
    I'm in an amenable mood…
[04:10] ---
    A mission to guard an official from
    the Feudal Lord's office, a VIP.
[04:13] ---
    It's a direct request
    from the Feudal Lord.
[04:15] ---
    The Hidden Leaf will
    be dispatching an escort unit.
[04:18] ---
    It will be a long-term mission.
[04:21] ---
    If we accept this mission,
    failure is not an option.
[04:24] ---
    Let's immediately go
    through selections.
[04:38] ---
    It's always like this.
[04:40] ---
    Father only sees Big Brother.
[04:42] ---
    No matter how hard I try…
[04:46] ---
    Why did I think
    you would be like Itachi?
[04:50] ---
    Your older brother would
    have done better.
[04:53] ---
    This is Itachi talking here…
[04:56] ---
    I'm sure he came to this conclusion
    after careful thought.
[04:59] ---
    Every single time!
[05:00] ---
    He never acknowledges me!
[05:06] ---
    See? Didn't I tell you, Naruto?
[05:08] ---
    Sasuke's mastered Chidori.
[05:11] ---
    You're right!
[05:12] ---
    I said it to him first,
    but he's surpassed me!
[05:15] ---
    Sasuke…
[05:17] ---
    I brought some refreshments.
    Let's have some together!
[05:23] ---
    You're being a nuisance!
[05:30] ---
    Sasuke…
[05:33] ---
    What are you doing?!
[05:35] ---
    Apologize to Sakura, now!
[05:37] ---
    Don't order me around.
[05:39] ---
    A loser has no right to talk…
[05:41] ---
    I'm not ordering you!
[05:42] ---
    And I'm not a loser!
[05:45] ---
    I've already caught up to you!
[05:46] ---
    You just can't accept it!
[05:49] ---
    Why you—!
[05:51] ---
    Don't be so stuck-up!
[05:53] ---
    You, equal to me?
    Impossible.
[05:56] ---
    Do you wanna put that
    to a test right now?
[05:59] ---
    Fine.
[06:00] ---
    Hey, you guys, stop it!
[06:27] ---
    Naruto!
[06:27] ---
    Sasuke!
[06:29] ---
    Stop!
[06:33] ---
    Dad?
[06:36] ---
    Sorry, but fights are
    forbidden inside the village.
[06:44] ---
    Lord Fourth!
[06:46] ---
    Thank you.
[06:47] ---
    I'm so sorry, Sakura…
[06:51] ---
    Where is he—?!
[06:57] ---
    Ouch!
[07:03] ---
    Sasuke!
[07:12] ---
    What is that power?!
[07:14] ---
    How did he—?
[07:34] ---
    I'll never accept you.
[07:39] ---
    I promise
    I'll knock you down!
[07:49] ---
    I didn't formulate the Rasengan
    to hurt my friends.
[07:54] ---
    Why did you do that?
[07:57] ---
    I was frustrated.
[08:02] ---
    I've always tried
    to catch up to him.
[08:05] ---
    But he refuses to acknowledge me.
[08:11] ---
    People's feelings
    are complicated.
[08:15] ---
    But…
[08:18] ---
    But…
[08:19] ---
    I'm never gonna give up.
[08:21] ---
    Even if it's impossible now,
[08:22] ---
    I'm gonna become much stronger…
[08:24] ---
    I'm gonna get him to
    acknowledge me someday!
[08:30] ---
    I thought you were listening
    to our conversation the other day.
[08:35] ---
    So you're going to
    criticize me again
[08:37] ---
    without even asking about
    the circumstances?
[08:39] ---
    What are your intentions?
[08:42] ---
    Nothing.
[08:45] ---
    I'm just not going to expect
    anything from you anymore.
[08:48] ---
    I've decided I'm going
    to follow my own path.
[08:52] ---
    "Your own path"?
[08:54] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[08:56] ---
    And right now, I want power.
[09:01] ---
    I have just one request
    for you.
[09:06] ---
    All right!
[09:08] ---
    I'm gonna train hard
    again today!
[09:10] ---
    What is all this racket,
    this early in the morning?
[09:16] ---
    Okay, here I go!
[09:17] ---
    Naruto…
[09:21] ---
    Sakura?
[09:23] ---
    What's the matter?
[09:25] ---
    It's awful. Sasuke's—!
[09:31] ---
    Is it true, Dad?
[09:33] ---
    Sasuke's leaving our team?!
[09:36] ---
    Yes, it's true.
[09:38] ---
    Mr. Fugaku came by
    a little earlier to inform me.
[09:40] ---
    Sasuke will be joining
    the Leaf Police Force from today.
[09:45] ---
    Why so suddenly?
[09:46] ---
    What's going to happen
    to our team? To Team 7?
[09:51] ---
    Well…
[09:51] ---
    I'm gonna go ask him myself!
[09:54] ---
    Hold on.
[09:55] ---
    Just hold on.
[09:59] ---
    What's the big idea?
[10:03] ---
    Sasuke has already left
    for the Feudal Lord's office.
[10:07] ---
    The Uchiha have taken
    on a long-term escort mission.
[10:13] ---
    It's the Uchiha's Elite Unit.
[10:16] ---
    Sasuke wants to shadow
[10:17] ---
    and learn from
    the more experienced shinobi.
[10:19] ---
    It seems he made
    a strong appeal to join them.
[10:22] ---
    Sasuke did?
[10:24] ---
    That's…way too sudden.
[10:27] ---
    We haven't even made
    amends yet.
[10:32] ---
    You're such an idiot.
[10:35] ---
    You should be
    a little happy for him.
[10:37] ---
    Why should I?
[10:40] ---
    He volunteered for
    this mission
[10:42] ---
    in order to hone his skills.
[10:44] ---
    He probably made up
    his mind right
[10:46] ---
    after fighting with you
    and realizing something.
[10:50] ---
    Then, he also—?!
[10:53] ---
    Right.
[10:54] ---
    Like you,
    he "doesn't want to lose."
[10:56] ---
    At least it means
    he's aware of you.
[11:00] ---
    I see.
[11:02] ---
    This isn't the time to relax.
[11:05] ---
    Sasuke will become
    ridiculously strong,
[11:08] ---
    and when he comes back,
    he'll crush you and defeat you.
[11:12] ---
    No! That's not good!
[11:14] ---
    I have to train too!
[11:16] ---
    Hurry! I have to start right now!
[11:18] ---
    All right, that's the spirit.
[11:20] ---
    I'll be rooting you
    from distant skies.
[11:29] ---
    H-Hold on, y'know!
[11:32] ---
    What you just said…
[11:33] ---
    Aren't you gonna
    help me train, Pervy Sage?!
[11:37] ---
    My wounds are completely healed.
[11:40] ---
    I have to set out in search
    of Orochimaru soon.
[11:43] ---
    No way!
[11:48] ---
    Don't get so depressed.
[11:51] ---
    I'll watch over your training
    when I have a chance.
[11:53] ---
    But you're always so busy, Dad!
[11:59] ---
    Hey… Why don't you
    take me with you?
[12:01] ---
    What?!
[12:03] ---
    You want to go
    on the journey too?
[12:05] ---
    It's the perfect idea!
[12:06] ---
    I'll get lots of training
    on the road!
[12:09] ---
    Well, uh… Jiraiya Sensei?
[12:14] ---
    I don't mind.
[12:16] ---
    But I wonder what
    Kushina will say.
[12:19] ---
    She's really strict
    when it comes to
[12:21] ---
    The Three Prohibitions
    of the Shinobi and whatever…
[12:23] ---
    Well, we just have
    to convince her!
[12:25] ---
    C'mon! Let's go!
[12:27] ---
    You're so self-centered…
[12:31] ---
    U-Um…
[12:33] ---
    BELIEVE
    
    So that means…
    Naruto is leaving the team too?
[12:37] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[12:39] ---
    I'll start looking into where
    you can transfer to, so…
[12:42] ---
    No…
[12:46] ---
    I don't mind being on call.
[12:49] ---
    But…
[12:51] ---
    When Naruto returns,
    we'll have our old team back.
[12:55] ---
    And even with Sasuke,
[12:57] ---
    there's a chance he might
    have a change of heart.
[13:00] ---
    I understand.
[13:01] ---
    Besides…
[13:03] ---
    There's something
    I want to do as well,
[13:05] ---
    while they're away.
[13:07] ---
    I think it will be
    a good opportunity.
[13:16] ---
    Please…
[13:17] ---
    That jutsu you mentioned before,
    I'd like to learn it.
[13:23] ---
    I can't be the only one on
    the team who's lagging behind.
[13:34] ---
    I like that look on your face.
[13:37] ---
    Fine.
[13:38] ---
    But I'm warning you…
    I won't go easy.
[13:41] ---
    Yes!
[13:47] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[13:49] ---
    I took you in because
    Captain Fugaku asked me to.
[13:52] ---
    But everyone in the unit
    is ranked way above you.
[13:55] ---
    The days will be long and hard
    at the Feudal Lord's office.
[13:59] ---
    I'm looking forward to it.
[14:01] ---
    After my father and brother,
[14:03] ---
    you're the most skilled
    among the Uchiha.
[14:05] ---
    As long as my brother is
    on the Hokage's detail…
[14:08] ---
    I've always assumed that
    you would be the next captain.
[14:12] ---
    And that's why you volunteered?
[14:15] ---
    I have a goal I must reach.
[14:17] ---
    And for that…
[14:19] ---
    All right, then it's fine by me.
[14:22] ---
    Let's go!
[14:27] ---
    Hey, I've been thinking
    from before…
[14:31] ---
    Orochimaru is a bad guy, right?
[14:34] ---
    So why do you go out
    of your way to look for him.
[14:37] ---
    Despite what he is now,
    he was once my friend.
[14:41] ---
    But one day,
    he went off the path.
[14:44] ---
    I should have set him right
    back then.
[14:46] ---
    I couldn't stop him.
[14:50] ---
    I see…
[14:51] ---
    I can't help but to think…
[14:54] ---
    If I hadn't let him go,
    he could still be here.
[15:01] ---
    I don't want you to have
    the same kind of regrets.
[15:04] ---
    Uh-huh.
[15:06] ---
    Still, I haven't given up on him!
[15:09] ---
    I'll bring him back one day!
[15:12] ---
    Yeah!
[15:19] ---
    You didn't have to see me off…
[15:21] ---
    Now that won't do, y'know!
[15:24] ---
    Now listen carefully, Naruto.
[15:26] ---
    The Three Prohibitions of
    the Shinobi must be strictly observed!
[15:28] ---
    Jiraiya Sensei tends to be too lax.
[15:31] ---
    Don't you dare imitate
    his bad habits!
[15:34] ---
    I'm sorry…
[15:35] ---
    She insisted on seeing you off.
[15:37] ---
    That goes without saying, y'know!
[15:39] ---
    What if Naruto picks up
    bad habits
[15:41] ---
    while accompanying Sensei
    on his intel gathering?!
[15:45] ---
    PITTER-PATTER
    
    I worry enough about his antics
    and recklessness.
[15:49] ---
    Don't worry.
[15:51] ---
    If he gets in my way,
[15:52] ---
    I'll just transport him away to
    Mount Myoboku or someplace.
[15:54] ---
    Mount Myoboku?
[16:02] ---
    No matter what kind
    of food you're served,
[16:03] ---
    just hang in there.
[16:05] ---
    U-Uh-huh.
[16:06] ---
    Hey…
[16:08] ---
    Be careful on your journey.
[16:10] ---
    You guys!
[16:11] ---
    Just don't go overboard.
[16:13] ---
    If you try too hard,
[16:14] ---
    you'll make us look
    like we're slacking off.
[16:16] ---
    What're you saying?!
[16:18] ---
    We're going to work hard too!
[16:20] ---
    I refuse to be a genin forever!
[16:23] ---
    I'll have you know,
[16:24] ---
    I'm on track to go straight
    to the top.
[16:27] ---
    I already have a place
    to train.
[16:29] ---
    Huh?! When did this happen?!
[16:32] ---
    I'm not going to lose to Naruto.
[16:35] ---
    Roger, y'know!
[16:37] ---
    Hey…
[16:39] ---
    It's about time to leave.
[16:40] ---
    Right! I'm ready!
[16:46] ---
    Okay! I'm off, y'know!
[16:52] ---
    I can't believe that a shinobi
    of your caliber failed…
[16:56] ---
    If that plan succeeded,
[16:58] ---
    we could have gotten rid of
    the faction of moderate jonin
[17:01] ---
    who support the Fourth Hokage
    in one swoop,
[17:03] ---
    and spread our political influence.
[17:06] ---
    You can't blame it all on me.
[17:09] ---
    The plan failed due to the shinobi
    that Hizashi assembled.
[17:14] ---
    Since you installed Hizashi
    as the point-person for this plan,
[17:17] ---
    some of the blame lies with you.
[17:21] ---
    I did what I was supposed to do.
[17:25] ---
    So I expect the contract
    to be honored.
[17:32] ---
    I understand.
[17:34] ---
    What are your wishes
    for the next vessel?
[17:37] ---
    Well…
[17:39] ---
    Actually, Itachi would
    have been ideal.
[17:42] ---
    But it was too late this time…
[17:45] ---
    The next time around,
    he'll be past his prime.
[17:49] ---
    I see…
[17:51] ---
    I'll choose a suitable candidate
[17:54] ---
    who possesses even
    better qualities than Itachi,
[17:57] ---
    one who will reach his physical peak
    in three years' time.
[18:00] ---
    Yes, I'm counting on you.
[18:03] ---
    Someone young, beautiful,
    and strong.
[18:06] ---
    An ideal body…
[18:19] ---
    Not yet!
[18:38] ---
    Ouch!
[18:41] ---
    Chidori Stream!
[19:06] ---
    All right. That's pretty good.
[19:23] ---
    So you're going back to
    the Hidden Leaf Village
[19:25] ---
    as soon as
    your replacement arrives?
[19:27] ---
    Yeah…
[19:28] ---
    I've learned everything I can here.
[19:31] ---
    Besides, I have a goal
    I have to fulfill.
[19:35] ---
    It's none of my business, but…
[19:39] ---
    It's good to have a goal.
[19:41] ---
    But getting too attached to a goal
[19:43] ---
    can lead someone off
    the right path.
[19:47] ---
    I want you to remember that.
[19:50] ---
    Your interference is unnecessary.
[19:53] ---
    Thanks for the last three years.
[19:58] ---
    I want to make sure
    with my own eyes…
[20:00] ---
    But I guess it's out of
    the question since I'm stuck here.
[20:05] ---
    You're back.
[20:07] ---
    I heard the report.
[20:09] ---
    Only the elite were sent there…
[20:12] ---
    But I understand that
    you've developed into a shinobi
[20:13] ---
    who's second only to Shisui.
[20:15] ---
    It's no big deal.
[20:18] ---
    I'll surpass Itachi, soon.
[20:22] ---
    Listen to you,
    such confidence now…
[20:28] ---
    This is…
[20:30] ---
    A lieutenant's armband for
    the Leaf Police Force.
[20:35] ---
    Talk is easy.
[20:37] ---
    Now demonstrate your skills
    in a real mission.
[20:41] ---
    Looking forward to it!
[20:50] ---
    I've returned,
[20:51] ---
    to dispel the humiliation
    of that day.
[20:54] ---
    And this time…
[20:56] ---
    I'll take you down
[20:57] ---
    and prove to you
    who's stronger!
[22:37] ---
    The recent activities of
