**[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..."
