[00:26] ---
    Hey, what do you mean by
    "destroying the Leaf Village"?
[00:31] ---
    I mean today's Leaf Village!
[00:33] ---
    Today's Leaf Village...?!
[00:37] ---
    That means, Lady Tsunade will...!
[00:40] ---
    - You're right...
    - What?
[00:42] ---
    Your story doesn't add up.
[00:45] ---
    I know Sai's boss used to oppose
    Old Man Third Hokage,
[00:49] ---
    but why do they have to destroy
    the Leaf Village...
[00:51] ---
    or do something
    to Grandma Tsunade?
[00:54] ---
    Did you forget, Naruto?
[00:57] ---
    Lady Tsunade used to be
    a favorite pupil of the Third.
[01:04] ---
    Besides that, the current regime of
    the Leaf Village
[01:07] ---
    was initiated by
    the Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade,
[01:10] ---
    and it obviously complies with
    the wishes of the Third.
[01:17] ---
    Undoubtedly Danzo
    is not happy about this...
[01:20] ---
    but most of the people in the village
    support the current regime,
[01:26] ---
    so the regime
    can't be changed easily.
[01:29] ---
    The only way
    to change the regime is...
[01:31] ---
    to cause an earth-shaking event
    in the village.
[01:36] ---
    An event like...
[01:37] ---
    the "The Destruction of the Hidden Leaf
    Village" that Orochimaru set up.
[01:43] ---
    The destruction of
    the Hidden Leaf Village...!
[02:08] ---
    Danzo may be thinking about
    conspiring with Orochimaru
[02:11] ---
    and making him attack
    Leaf Village one more time...
[02:15] ---
    in order to force Lady Tsunade
    from the position of Hokage...
[02:20] ---
    So, you're saying they want
    to destroy Leaf Village...
[02:22] ---
    - just because of that?!
    - It's not only because of that!
[02:26] ---
    He wants to build his ideal village
    after destroying the regime...
[02:30] ---
    and return to center stage as Hokage.
[02:48] ---
    The reason why Danzo went into
    action at this late date is...
[02:51] ---
    ...because he sees it's been three years
    since the last attack,
[02:54] ---
    so there has been enough time
    for Orochimaru...
[02:56] ---
    to fully regain his forces.
[02:59] ---
    I think that's also part of it.
[03:01] ---
    Or he may have thought
    Orochimaru is more cautious now
[03:04] ---
    because of the failure
    of the last attack.
[03:09] ---
    If he acts now, he thinks
    the negotiations with Orochimaru...
[03:11] ---
    will get under way easily.
[03:14] ---
    That means he's going to propose
    cooperation from the village, right?
[03:19] ---
    Yes...
[03:21] ---
    Wait a minute...
    You mean Sai's secret mission is...
[03:27] ---
    Perhaps...
[05:02] ---
    *The Consequences
    of Betrayal
    
    
    
[05:11] ---
    You mean,
    Sai's top secret mission...
[05:16] ---
    ...is probably to earn Orochimaru's trust
[05:18] ---
    and serve as a liaison between
    Danzo and Orochimaru.
[05:23] ---
    He thought the odds of him
    running into Orochimaru...
[05:26] ---
    would be high
    if he was in our group.
[05:29] ---
    That can't be...!
[05:31] ---
    If that's the case...
[05:37] ---
    then we might have to get rid of Sai.
[05:43] ---
    Get rid of him?
[06:07] ---
    Lord Orochimaru.
[06:10] ---
    I know.
[06:13] ---
    It appears we're being followed.
[06:18] ---
    Is he simply following us,
    or is someone making him do that?
[06:25] ---
    What should we do?
[06:30] ---
    One way or the other...
[06:32] ---
    I'm afraid we're going
    to need a corpse.
[06:36] ---
    Right, Kabuto?
[06:57] ---
    Get rid of...
[06:59] ---
    ...Sai?
[07:02] ---
    *No matter how you look at it,
    that's too hasty...
[07:06] ---
    Now, my clone is
    following them,
[07:08] ---
    but there's no way of knowing
    what's gonna happen...
[07:13] ---
    We're gonna get on their trail
    right away.
[07:15] ---
    - But...
    - Okay!
[07:17] ---
    Let's go...!
[07:21] ---
    What the...?
[07:28] ---
    Naruto!
[07:38] ---
    Naruto! Are you all right?
[07:48] ---
    *He hasn't fully recovered yet from
    the damage he suffered earlier...
[07:51] ---
    Captain Yamato...
[07:54] ---
    Sakura, we better get going...
[07:56] ---
    I know we should catch up
    right now. But...
[08:08] ---
    But...with Naruto's condition
    being like this...
[08:11] ---
    In that case, we'll leave him.
[08:14] ---
    *Leave him?
    How could he say such a thing...?!
[08:19] ---
    He should have
    enough strength left...
[08:21] ---
    to get back to the village
    on his own.
[08:25] ---
    Kakashi Sensei would never
    talk that way...!
[08:27] ---
    Sakura...
[08:29] ---
    Sakura...
    I'll...be...all right...
[08:41] ---
    I can make it...
[08:44] ---
    Naruto!
[08:49] ---
    Sakura, I know
    what you're trying to say.
[08:53] ---
    On top of that, I've teamed up with Kakashi
    in the Anbu Black Ops Unit before...
[08:57] ---
    I also know the kind of person he is.
[09:03] ---
    It's true that I'm filling in
    for Kakashi.
[09:06] ---
    But, I'm not Kakashi.
[09:13] ---
    I'm sorry, but I just can't say,
[09:16] ---
    "I won't let you get hurt,"
    with a laugh.
[09:21] ---
    I won't let my comrades die.
[09:33] ---
    You're no longer apprentice Ninja
    in need of protection,
[09:37] ---
    but Shinobi shouldering
    the future of the Leaf Village...
[09:39] ---
    who will have to eventually
    surpass Kakashi.
[09:42] ---
    Compassion and co-dependence
    aren't the same thing!
[09:58] ---
    If we give up now,
    it'll end in failure.
[10:02] ---
    If we don't follow now,
[10:03] ---
    we're never going
    to catch Orochimaru.
[10:06] ---
    There is no second chance
    with Orochimaru.
[10:26] ---
    Sakura...
[10:39] ---
    Yeah.
[10:42] ---
    It's time to get moving now.
[10:44] ---
    Naruto, what are you going to do?
[10:56] ---
    Of course...
[11:02] ---
    I'm going!
[11:04] ---
    Naruto!
[11:08] ---
    I'm okay...
[11:13] ---
    If I went back to
    the village now...
[11:16] ---
    I wouldn't know
    why I came this far.
[11:20] ---
    Naruto...
[11:38] ---
    Fine, but...
    if you slow us down,
[11:42] ---
    we have to leave you behind,
    do you understand?
[11:44] ---
    Okay!
[11:46] ---
    Then, let's go!
[12:06] ---
    That's!
[12:24] ---
    *You've sure done it...
    Orochimaru...
[12:45] ---
    Naruto!
[13:05] ---
    Sakura!
[13:19] ---
    Sakura!
[13:34] ---
    Sakura...
[13:41] ---
    Are you all right, Sakura!
[13:44] ---
    That wound is...
[13:58] ---
    *Chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox
    must have entered...
[14:00] ---
    through the wound like poison...
[14:08] ---
    *This can't easily be healed even
    with a skilled medical Ninjutsu.
[14:15] ---
    That's why...
[14:17] ---
    That's why I'm even more surprised
[14:19] ---
    that Naruto has been able
    to endure that Chakra.
[14:24] ---
    This...
[14:28] ---
    This...was done by Orochimaru.
[14:32] ---
    Well, it hurts only a little, so...
    I'm okay.
[14:37] ---
    Don't push yourself
    too hard, Sakura.
[14:42] ---
    I got it...
[14:50] ---
    Let's take a little break.
[14:52] ---
    Sakura is our team's
    only Medical Ninja...
[14:55] ---
    In other words, she is a key cog
    in the success of our mission.
[14:58] ---
    I'm all right.
    If we don't leave now...
[15:02] ---
    even you said...
[15:04] ---
    I'm sorry...but I just can't say,
[15:07] ---
    "I won't let you get hurt."
    with a laugh.
[15:18] ---
    *You're no longer apprentice Ninja
    in need of protection,
[15:22] ---
    *but Shinobi shouldering
    the future of the Leaf Village...
[15:25] ---
    *who will have to eventually
    surpass Kakashi.
[15:28] ---
    *Compassion and co-dependence
    aren't the same thing!
[15:32] ---
    It's true what I said,
[15:34] ---
    but they also say that
    "haste is from the devil."
[15:39] ---
    I mean, there is a difference between
    hurrying and recklessness.
[15:43] ---
    I agree!
[15:44] ---
    Captain Yamato is right!
[15:47] ---
    You are the only Medical Ninja
    in our group
[15:51] ---
    with monstrous strength...
[15:53] ---
    So, you're the precious cog...
[15:55] ---
    I told you that you don't need
    to add "monstrous strength"!
[15:57] ---
    - What, what?!
    - Shut up!
[15:59] ---
    I'm just complimenting your...
[16:02] ---
    O-Okay, okay...
    I apologize!
[16:04] ---
    Naruto!
[16:06] ---
    Since Sai's out, you'll be
    my partner for the battle.
[16:10] ---
    Let's decide on our collaboration
    patterns while we have time.
[16:13] ---
    Can you come over here
    for a bit?
[16:16] ---
    Got it.
[16:47] ---
    They stopped the chase...
    I wonder if it went well...
[16:52] ---
    Perhaps...
[16:54] ---
    At any rate...
[16:55] ---
    you did a fine job, as usual, Kabuto...
[17:00] ---
    I've created countless dead bodies
    since I've been with you...
[17:06] ---
    It might have been
    a little wasteful, though...
[17:10] ---
    Even so, it's better to be cautious.
[17:36] ---
    Oh.
[17:38] ---
    I got a good idea,
    Lord Orochimaru.
[17:43] ---
    How about having him help out
    our experiments?
[17:52] ---
    I think he'll have lots of free time...
[17:54] ---
    besides serving as
    a liaison with Danzo...
[17:56] ---
    Hmm... do as you please.
[18:09] ---
    A fake body, just as I thought...
[18:12] ---
    Most likely this Jutsu
    was done by Kabuto...
[18:19] ---
    *Sure enough, this wound
    is slow to heal...
[18:23] ---
    *the best I can do is
    to ease the pain...
[18:32] ---
    This is far enough...
[18:34] ---
    We're gonna do it here?
[18:36] ---
    Yes...
[18:37] ---
    But, first...!
[18:39] ---
    One moment, my Wood Clone
    has just contacted me.
[18:47] ---
    Yes... That's right...
[18:49] ---
    There's an unnatural and subtle
    stitching in the head...
[18:52] ---
    He's done a perfect job,
    it's not noticeable at first glance.
[18:58] ---
    If we didn't prepare for this,
[18:59] ---
    we would have been fooled
    completely...
[19:04] ---
    Amazing that they've already discovered
    that we've been tailing them.
[19:06] ---
    I was confident, but...
[19:08] ---
    we have to be even more cautious
    from now on...
[19:23] ---
    *Since we're dealing
    with Orochimaru...
[19:25] ---
    we can't be too careful.
[19:28] ---
    Captain Yamato!
[19:29] ---
    Ah yes, I'm done with my errand.
[19:31] ---
    All right! So, what are
    we gonna do first?
[19:33] ---
    But before that...
    There's something I need to tell you.
[19:42] ---
    The one who hurt Sakura was...
[19:45] ---
    you, Naruto.
[21:39] ---
    Hey Sakura, is that the picture book
    that belonged to Sai?
[21:42] ---
    Yes, it is.
[21:43] ---
    I'm wondering what's
    in the book?
[21:44] ---
    Don't ask me.
[21:45] ---
    Hmm, it seems there're
    no words or dialogue, though.
[21:49] ---
    Well, even if we see what's inside,
    I bet It's not good at all.
[21:52] ---
    I'm hoping this book gives some
    information leading to Sai...
[21:55] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Sai cherishes this book, doesn't he?
[21:58] ---
    He also said it's
    his older brother's book.
[22:00] ---
    Hey, don't you think
    the facing pages are a little creepy?
[22:05] ---
