[00:27] ---
    I knew you'd be here.
[00:40] ---
    I'd expect no less from
    the Anbu Black Ops...
[00:42] ---
    under the direct command
    of the Hokage.
[00:49] ---
    To think I wouldn't be able
    to deceive you with that corpse...
[00:54] ---
    Now tell us everything.
    What's this about?
[02:30] ---
    Bonds
    
    
    
[02:41] ---
    You jerk!
    Why did you betray us?!
[02:46] ---
    You shouldn't make too much
    of a commotion here.
[02:49] ---
    Things will get troublesome,
    you see.
[02:53] ---
    - You jerk!
    - Naruto!
[03:02] ---
    Here...take this.
[03:08] ---
    It's yours, isn't it?
[03:14] ---
    Thank you.
[03:18] ---
    It was an order
    from Danzo, right?
[03:22] ---
    Danzo has teamed up
    with Orochimaru...
[03:25] ---
    and is attempting
    to do something...
[03:28] ---
    You were chosen
    to be the go-between...
[03:30] ---
    for Danzo and Orochimaru.
[03:35] ---
    What're they planning...?
[03:43] ---
    With Orochimaru, he's planning to...
[03:46] ---
    once again destroy the Leaf Village...
[03:49] ---
    Isn't that right?
[04:08] ---
    No, that's not--
[04:09] ---
    I can tell right away that
    your smile is a lie!
[04:12] ---
    And I can tell right away that
    what you're saying is a lie!
[04:54] ---
    Now that you have found me...
[04:58] ---
    my mission is considered
    a failure.
[05:03] ---
    I can't handle all of
    you guys by myself...
[05:07] ---
    And...if you know that much...
[05:11] ---
    then there's no point
    in hiding anything.
[05:17] ---
    You're exactly right.
[05:19] ---
    We're going to crush
    the current Leaf Village.
[05:21] ---
    Say what...?!
[05:24] ---
    The real mission I was given was
    to gain the favor of Orochimaru...
[05:27] ---
    and create an opportunity for
    a collaboration...
[05:30] ---
    in order to crush the Leaf Village.
[05:37] ---
    Do you know
    what you're saying?!
[05:40] ---
    - To do such a thing--
    - That's not all.
[05:47] ---
    I also have the duty
    of secretly sending...
[05:49] ---
    information about Orochimaru
    to Lord Danzo...
[05:52] ---
    In other words, I have also been
    entrusted with a mission as a spy.
[05:57] ---
    Keep going.
[06:00] ---
    Own up to everything
    you're hiding.
[06:04] ---
    So basically what
    you're saying is...
[06:06] ---
    while proposing the collaboration
    with Orochimaru...
[06:10] ---
    you're trying to outflank him?
[06:15] ---
    You've been given such
    a dangerous mission...
[06:19] ---
    Orochimaru will definitely betray us...
[06:21] ---
    once the Leaf Village
    has been crushed.
[06:25] ---
    It's to make sure we've always
    got the advantage.
[06:31] ---
    I get it...
[06:33] ---
    Danzo wants to make
    the Leaf Village his own, huh?
[06:37] ---
    You made preparations
    for that all by yourself...
[06:46] ---
    The information I wrote
    in black ink
[06:48] ---
    transforms into small animals...
[06:52] ---
    and carries the information out
    while protecting itself, you see.
[06:59] ---
    This ability of mine
    was valued highly...
[07:02] ---
    and so I was selected
    for this mission.
[07:05] ---
    Many people will die, once again...
[07:06] ---
    if things become turbulent
    in the Leaf Village!
[07:20] ---
    Do you even know why
    you're doing this?!
[07:26] ---
    No idea...
    They're my orders, so...
[07:30] ---
    Sai, you...
[07:33] ---
    Let me tell you
    one more thing...
[07:35] ---
    Sai is the name I was given
    just for this mission...
[07:40] ---
    I'm nobody.
[07:43] ---
    I'm a tool for Lord Danzo.
[07:46] ---
    I don't exist.
[07:49] ---
    So no matter what you say
    to me, it's pointless.
[08:11] ---
    Then...
[08:12] ---
    Then why...
[08:14] ---
    do you hold on to
    that picture book with such care?!
[08:46] ---
    The two kids on the cover...
[08:49] ---
    are you and
    your older brother, right?
[08:52] ---
    You're holding on to
    that picture book with such care...
[08:55] ---
    because it's the only thing
    that proves your existence, isn't it?
[09:02] ---
    You haven't been able to discard
    your emotions as completely as you say.
[09:08] ---
    Even Shinobi can't completely
    discard their emotions.
[09:13] ---
    As proof of that...
[09:15] ---
    when I handed
    the picture book to you earlier...
[09:18] ---
    You said thanks and took it.
[09:23] ---
    You were relieved to get back...
[09:25] ---
    the picture book that can prove
    your existence.
[09:29] ---
    Why does having this picture book
    prove my own existence?
[09:36] ---
    The reason why you don't want
    to part with that book...
[09:39] ---
    is that you can't forsake yourself
    as a younger brother...
[09:45] ---
    Do you know why?
[09:52] ---
    It's because your bonds with
    your older brother...
[09:55] ---
    were that important to you!
[10:00] ---
    You don't want to erase the bonds
    you have with your older brother...
[10:12] ---
    Bonds...
[10:16] ---
    Sorry, but we had a look
    inside the picture book.
[10:23] ---
    Only the picture in
    the center-facing pages is unfinished.
[10:29] ---
    Sai... I also know that you're
    from The Foundation.
[10:37] ---
    And I also know that
    you received special training...
[10:40] ---
    from Danzo in order
    to suppress your emotions.
[10:43] ---
    Special training...?
[10:48] ---
    It's the same as the evil practice...
[10:50] ---
    once conducted in the Village Hidden
    in the Mist a.k.a. Blood Mist Village,
[10:53] ---
    in order to take away emotions.
[10:56] ---
    The Blood Mist Village ...
    The Hidden Mist...?
[11:01] ---
    That's where Zabuza's from!
[11:07] ---
    Then...
[11:10] ---
    A long time ago...
[11:12] ---
    *in the Village Hidden in the Mist
    a.k.a. Blood Mist Village,
[11:15] ---
    *there was an extremely difficult obstacle
    in order to become Ninja.
[11:21] ---
    *You even know about
    that graduation exam...?
[11:25] ---
    That graduation exam?
[11:29] ---
    What's that graduation exam?
[11:39] ---
    Fellow students kill each other.
[11:44] ---
    *Fellow comrades who all ate
    from the same bowl...
[11:47] ---
    *make teams of two
    and fight each other...
[11:49] ---
    until one of them dies.
[11:52] ---
    *Comrades who until that point
    would help each other,
[11:55] ---
    *talk about their dreams
    and compete with each other...
[12:19] ---
    Looking at the flow
    of the picture book,
[12:21] ---
    it appears you're
    defeating enemies...
[12:25] ---
    and taking away
    their weapons and armor...
[12:37] ---
    On the facing pages at the center...
[12:39] ---
    you will end up fighting
    your older brother...
[12:51] ---
    You killed your older brother--
[12:53] ---
    No!
[12:58] ---
    I was planning on
    giving this to him.
[13:02] ---
    But when I was just about finished
    with the picture book, he...
[13:10] ---
    He...
[13:13] ---
    died from sickness.
[13:19] ---
    What do you mean...you don't feel
    anything or have any emotions?
[13:25] ---
    I mean just what I said.
[13:29] ---
    Even so...
[13:31] ---
    If you have a brother,
    you should be able to imagine...
[13:35] ---
    what it would be like
    to lose him, right?
[13:37] ---
    Yeah, well...you could say that...
[13:41] ---
    My brother's dead, after all.
[13:45] ---
    Then all the more...
[13:46] ---
    I wonder if I should've
    looked like that.
[13:56] ---
    What're you trying to say?
[13:58] ---
    Well... I didn't know what kind
    of look to make
[14:01] ---
    when my brother died...
[14:16] ---
    In The Foundation, there were
    many children of broken families...
[14:19] ---
    brought about by battle.
[14:21] ---
    He was one of those children.
[14:23] ---
    I became close with him,
    like a brother.
[14:30] ---
    We weren't related by blood...
[14:32] ---
    But he often said nice things
    about my drawings.
[14:42] ---
    In this picture book...
[14:44] ---
    what I wanted to show him
    most of all...
[14:47] ---
    was what were supposed to be the final
    pictures on the facing pages.
[14:51] ---
    But after he died...
[14:53] ---
    I couldn't remember
    what I was going to draw.
[15:57] ---
    Unfortunately Sai...
[15:59] ---
    I'll be having my clone
    stand guard over you here.
[16:07] ---
    All right!
[16:09] ---
    Now it's back to square one...
[16:13] ---
    We're going to save Sasuke!
[16:19] ---
    I wouldn't bother.
[16:25] ---
    I...
[16:27] ---
    met Sasuke.
[16:46] ---
    Sasuke always has Orochimaru
    with him.
[16:54] ---
    That is to say, you'll have to fight
    Orochimaru once again.
[17:03] ---
    You'll end up being
    chopped up into pieces...
[17:05] ---
    and turned into a test subject
    if you pursue reckssly.
[17:09] ---
    And...
[17:13] ---
    And what?!
[17:21] ---
    Sasuke said he doesn't care
    about you...
[17:25] ---
    Sakura said you think of Sasuke like
    a brother.
[17:32] ---
    And yet...
[17:52] ---
    For a guy like that, why...?
[17:58] ---
    Why are you trying
    to get him back...
[18:01] ---
    going so far as to oppose
    Orochimaru and put your life at risk?
[18:08] ---
    Why is that?
    When nobody's ordering you to do so?
[18:20] ---
    I used to really hate Sasuke.
[18:29] ---
    Even though, like me,
    he didn't have a family...
[18:34] ---
    he was elite and
    I was always at the bottom.
[18:37] ---
    But it was actually fun
    being with him.
[18:43] ---
    He...
[18:46] ---
    He's the person
    who acknowledged me...
[18:49] ---
    more than anyone else.
[19:06] ---
    Sasuke...
[19:08] ---
    is my friend.
[19:10] ---
    It's a special bond
    I was finally able to make.
[19:16] ---
    A bond.
[19:19] ---
    Even so...
[19:21] ---
    Even so, with Orochimaru
    as your opponent...
[19:24] ---
    It doesn't matter
    who the opponent is!
[19:30] ---
    If my arms get torn off,
    I'll kick him down.
[19:34] ---
    If my legs get torn off,
    I'll bite him down.
[19:38] ---
    If my head gets torn off,
    I'll stare him down.
[19:42] ---
    If my eyes get torn out,
    I'll curse him in my grave!
[19:52] ---
    Even if I get chopped up
    into pieces...
[19:55] ---
    I'll take Sasuke back
    from Orochimaru!
[21:38] ---
    Damn it,
    there are so many rooms!
[21:40] ---
    Sasuke is back here somewhere...
[21:42] ---
    Let's split up here
    and search for him.
[21:45] ---
    But Captain, what if
    we stir up a hornet's nest...?
[21:48] ---
    It'll be okay.
[21:49] ---
    The seeds will generally respond
    if you build up your Chakra,
[21:51] ---
    so I should be able to rush on in.
[21:53] ---
    I get it.
[21:54] ---
    Roger!
[21:56] ---
    Okay, we're ready, huh?
    Let's make our move. Move out!
[22:02] ---
    Next time:
    "Something Important..."
