**[01:38] ---**
    Damn it, we lost them.
**[01:40] ---**
    Where are they hiding?
**[01:50] ---**
    Post Superflat is
    my style of art, hmm!
**[02:32] ---**
    There he goes again,
    making a big spectacle.
**[02:36] ---**
    We knew things would
    end up like this.
**[02:37] ---**
    This is what happens when
    you leave things to Deidara!
**[02:41] ---**
    But that's not good, is it?
**[02:45] ---**
    Hey, did you witness my art?
**[02:53] ---**
    I got rid of those little gnats
    from the Sand in one swoop, hmm!
**[02:57] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[02:58] ---**
    What the hell are you doing?!
**[03:00] ---**
    If you mess up our precious targets
    like that, they'll be useless!
**[03:05] ---**
    Like I care!
**[03:06] ---**
    My art culminates in an explosion!
**[03:10] ---**
    Quit messing around, damn it!
**[03:14] ---**
    I found one we might
    be able to use.
**[03:17] ---**
    See!
**[03:18] ---**
    Instead of complaining,
    start working like a real partner!
**[03:23] ---**
    You're gonna get it!
**[03:26] ---**
    Let's go, Hidan!
**[03:29] ---**
    I know it's upsetting,
    but our comrade calls.
**[03:33] ---**
    Let's depart.
**[03:40] ---**
    Damn it!
**[03:58] ---**
    Naruto…
**[03:59] ---**
    These guys aren't under the Hokage!
**[04:01] ---**
    They're from the underground
    organization, the Foundation!
**[04:04] ---**
    I don't care if they're underground
    or aboveground!
**[04:07] ---**
    If they're trying to kill me,
**[04:09] ---**
    they should come at me fair and
    square with their faces showing!
**[04:12] ---**
    Just try and get me!
**[04:26] ---**
    Such a hot-blooded child...
**[04:33] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[04:43] ---**
    We're from the same village,
    but these guys...
**[04:46] ---**
    What's going on?
**[04:50] ---**
    *Even if they're after*
    *the Hokage's son…*
**[04:53] ---**
    *Why now?*
**[04:57] ---**
    I get it…
**[04:59] ---**
    There's another reason
    why they've come after us.
**[05:04] ---**
    Bluntly, they want to make sure
    Sasuke reaches Orochimaru.
**[05:10] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[05:12] ---**
    To Orochimaru?
**[05:14] ---**
    I see…
**[05:15] ---**
    We're trying to bring Sasuke back,
    so they're interfering with us!
**[05:19] ---**
    So that's how it is.
**[05:23] ---**
    You've got to be kidding!
    Well, let 'em try and stop us!
**[05:26] ---**
    I'll kick their butts!
**[05:29] ---**
    Neji! Lee! Tenten! Run!
**[05:34] ---**
    What?!
**[05:36] ---**
    We're gonna run away?!
**[05:37] ---**
    We're going after Sasuke!
**[05:40] ---**
    We can't be engaging in
    one-on-one battles.
**[05:42] ---**
    And that's exactly what they want…
**[05:44] ---**
    So Sasuke can get further
    and further away.
**[05:47] ---**
    You're right.
**[05:52] ---**
    We wasted time.
**[05:53] ---**
    Neji! Can you pinpoint
    Sasuke's position?!
**[05:57] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[06:06] ---**
    This way! We can still
    catch up to him!
**[06:16] ---**
    Now then…
**[06:17] ---**
    We've got to do something
    about that too…
**[06:45] ---**
    Here they come!
**[06:57] ---**
    Damn it… That just cost us
    quite a bit of time!
**[07:11] ---**
    Bushy Brows!
**[07:12] ---**
    Let Lee handle this.
    We have to keep after Sasuke!
**[07:15] ---**
    What're you saying?!
**[07:17] ---**
    We're all going to
    bring Sasuke back!
**[07:23] ---**
    Sorry, Lee, but…
**[07:26] ---**
    I understand!
**[07:27] ---**
    I'll draw these guys in!
**[07:31] ---**
    All of you, go!
**[07:32] ---**
    Go after Sasuke!
**[07:39] ---**
    Let's go!
**[07:56] ---**
    We're going to save Sasuke…
**[07:58] ---**
    and I'm not letting
    a single one of you pass!
**[08:04] ---**
    Shikamaru…
**[08:06] ---**
    You used Lee to hold them back.
**[08:08] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:09] ---**
    Considering what takes precedence,
**[08:11] ---**
    we need to get as close to Sasuke
    as possible.
**[08:14] ---**
    Looks that way…
**[08:18] ---**
    You're not getting away from me!
**[08:33] ---**
    After exchanging blows,
    I realize that you are very strong.
**[08:37] ---**
    And I admire your strength.
**[08:41] ---**
    And so…this opportunity to
    fight you fills me with happiness.
**[08:47] ---**
    I'm not as strong as you say,
**[08:50] ---**
    but I'll give it
    everything I've got.
**[08:57] ---**
    GUTS

**[09:07] ---**
    I will also give it my all!
**[09:18] ---**
    The Fifth Gate of Closing… open!
**[09:33] ---**
    Here's what you requested.
**[09:36] ---**
    They seem quite damaged.
**[09:39] ---**
    Yeah… If you're not interested,
    I'll take 'em with me.
**[09:42] ---**
    Of course, I'll take them.
**[09:44] ---**
    *They'll* decide whether
    they're usable or not...
**[09:49] ---**
    If they complain, you tell 'em…
**[09:51] ---**
    These are the better ones.
**[09:54] ---**
    Let's go.
**[10:07] ---**
    Hey!
**[10:10] ---**
    Hey, c'mon!
**[10:18] ---**
    Damn it… They're all so…
**[10:24] ---**
    It doesn't seem like
**[10:27] ---**
    there's been much improvement to
    the Akatsuki's military power.
**[10:31] ---**
    And here we are in a rush.
**[10:34] ---**
    The other corpses were too damaged
    to be of any use.
**[10:39] ---**
    After all the trouble we went through
**[10:41] ---**
    to lure talented Hidden Sand
    that had potential!
**[10:45] ---**
    That's true. The talented ones
    should be handled with care.
**[10:49] ---**
    Exactly!
**[10:51] ---**
    But this idiot set off an explosion
    and blew up all the bodies!
**[10:55] ---**
    Shut up!
**[10:57] ---**
    My explosion isn't just
    an average explosion!
**[10:59] ---**
    It's art!
**[11:01] ---**
    Art, my foot!
**[11:03] ---**
    Fine! Go ahead and criticize me!
**[11:06] ---**
    Enough!
**[11:08] ---**
    What's done is done…
**[11:11] ---**
    Besides…
**[11:12] ---**
    It's not as though
    we don't have other options.
**[11:17] ---**
    Why are you taking Deidara's side?!
**[11:20] ---**
    Remember the Hizashi incident?
**[11:23] ---**
    It can be said that the Akatsuki exists
    thanks to Deidara.
**[11:35] ---**
    Are you thinking of joining up with
    the genin from Hidden Leaf Village?
**[11:39] ---**
    Yeah…
**[11:40] ---**
    Although we're from different villages,
**[11:42] ---**
    I feel like we can
    call them comrades.
**[11:44] ---**
    Perhaps the day will come
    when we'll team up with them.
**[11:50] ---**
    Nagato, what's that?
**[11:53] ---**
    Doesn't it belong to those children?
**[11:54] ---**
    I found it on the road to the village.
**[11:56] ---**
    Since it was chaotic with everyone
    trying to get home,
**[11:59] ---**
    they probably dropped it.
**[12:02] ---**
    They're probably making a fuss
    about missing their stuffed toy.
**[12:06] ---**
    All right, I'll go return it to them.
**[12:09] ---**
    Yahiko?
**[12:10] ---**
    I'll be right back.
    Wait here.
**[12:25] ---**
    Damn it!
**[12:26] ---**
    We get called up for some experiment,
    so we come all the way here…
**[12:30] ---**
    and there's nothing to do?
**[12:32] ---**
    Give me a break!
**[12:39] ---**
    My art is too extravagant and won't be
    of any use for this experiment?!
**[12:44] ---**
    That's bull!
**[12:47] ---**
    Anyone who sees my art will be
    captivated by its brilliance!
**[12:52] ---**
    Fine! I'll give 'em a grand performance!
**[13:19] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[13:35] ---**
    Nagato…
**[14:01] ---**
    Nagato! Nagato, hang on!
**[14:05] ---**
    Why… Why did this happen?
**[14:19] ---**
    Who did this… Was it you?!
**[14:23] ---**
    Was this your doing?
**[14:26] ---**
    No…
**[14:27] ---**
    But we found this in the village.
**[14:42] ---**
    This is…!
**[14:44] ---**
    It's a special kunai the Hidden Leaf's
    Hokage uses for his Flying Raijin Jutsu.
**[14:51] ---**
    This Hokage…of the Hidden…Leaf…?
**[14:55] ---**
    Are you saying the Hokage ordered this?
**[14:58] ---**
    Yeah, probably.
**[15:01] ---**
    For the Hidden Leaf,
**[15:03] ---**
    this was an embarrassing
    and disgraceful incident...
**[15:06] ---**
    They probably wanted it to look like
    this never happened.
**[15:15] ---**
    I'll never forgive him!
**[15:20] ---**
    From that day forward,
**[15:22] ---**
    Nagato and Konan stopped referring to
    themselves as Team Jiraiya.
**[15:27] ---**
    In other words, that was the day
**[15:30] ---**
    that triggered their desire
    for revenge against the Hidden Leaf.
**[15:34] ---**
    Yeah… The greatest motivator
    for humans is revenge.
**[15:40] ---**
    By the way, what's gonna happen
**[15:43] ---**
    once the Akatsuki strengthens
    its military power?
**[15:46] ---**
    Beats me…
    You'd have to ask the guys on top.
**[15:51] ---**
    If there's anyone they want dead, I'll be
    happy to blow them up with my art.
**[15:57] ---**
    Things will start happening in the
    near future.
**[16:01] ---**
    Let's just wait and see.
**[16:15] ---**
    People of Hidden Leaf Village…
**[16:17] ---**
    You must feel the same pain
    that I've experienced.
**[16:22] ---**
    Unless you know the same pain,
**[16:25] ---**
    you can never really understand
    what others have felt.
**[16:33] ---**
    Pain upon the great nation!
**[16:49] ---**
    Hidden Leaf Style…
**[16:53] ---**
    Crescent Moon Dance!
**[17:07] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[17:13] ---**
    *He's gonna get it when*
    *I catch up to him.*
**[17:18] ---**
    *He's not gonna look*
    *so cool when I'm done…*
**[17:22] ---**
    I'll punch his eyes shut
    and make him cry!
**[17:26] ---**
    That jerk!
**[17:29] ---**
    You heard him, Sasuke…
**[17:36] ---**
    *Three left…*
**[17:38] ---**
    *I wish we could weaken*
    *their strength all at once*
**[17:41] ---**
    *before they come at us...*
**[17:44] ---**
    Tenten…
**[17:45] ---**
    I know… This time, I'll…
**[17:48] ---**
    Just draw one of them out.
**[17:50] ---**
    Don't overdo it.
**[17:52] ---**
    Go.
**[18:10] ---**
    *We hurried out…*
    *so these are the only scrolls I have...*
**[19:18] ---**
    *Oh no… This scroll is—!*
**[19:29] ---**
    Moonlit Night!
**[19:44] ---**
    *My survival supply scroll*
    *came in handy!*
**[20:17] ---**
    Soon…
**[20:23] ---**
    I'll have power very soon!
**[20:48] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[20:51] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[20:55] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[22:38] ---**
    So you're Orochimaru?


**[22:40] ---**
    What did you do to Sasuke?!


**[22:42] ---**
    You're still as annoying as ever...


**[22:45] ---**
    Sasuke, I'm here to take you back!


**[22:48] ---**
    Give me a break!
    What can a loser like you do?


**[22:52] ---**
    I'll take you back by brute force
    if necessary...
