[02:25] ---
    Are you all right, Lord Shikamaru?
[02:28] ---
    I thought I might have
    heard you groaning.
[02:31] ---
    I've been having
    strange dreams lately.
[02:34] ---
    Don't tell me…
    Is it some memory from the past?
[02:38] ---
    You too?
[02:40] ---
    The memories one wishes to forget most
    tend to stick like glue.
[02:45] ---
    It must be old age.
[02:49] ---
    I'm only 19!
[02:52] ---
    Have you noticed?
[02:53] ---
    Even since we came here,
    there's been no wind.
[02:58] ---
    Recklessness
    
    
    
    
[03:02] ---
    Yes, it's totally still.
[03:05] ---
    I don't have a good feeling
    about this at all.
[03:08] ---
    Hope she's faking
    her death smoothly.
[03:13] ---
    To be killed with her own jutsu…
[03:16] ---
    Talk about luck.
[03:18] ---
    Anyone foolish enough to get killed
    during an initiation test…
[03:22] ---
    wouldn't have been any good.
[03:27] ---
    You don't have to worry about Soku.
[03:35] ---
    What is it?
[03:37] ---
    Intel on Gengo, the guy
    that controls this village.
[03:40] ---
    Looks like it was collected by ANBU.
    Want to read it?
[03:45] ---
    It's smart to know
    about one's target.
[03:49] ---
    Let us see then.
[03:53] ---
    This is…blank!
[03:57] ---
    It means they couldn't learn
    a single thing.
[04:02] ---
    Just this one sheet?
[04:05] ---
    Ten shinobi lost their lives for that.
[04:09] ---
    It just doesn't make sense.
[04:11] ---
    Let me have that.
[04:16] ---
    I think it will be more useful
    in the fire.
[04:35] ---
    Oh, the dead have returned.
[04:38] ---
    Looks like you pulled it off.
[04:40] ---
    Pretending to be dead is like, creepy.
[04:42] ---
    Otherwise, you would have become
    a shinobi of this land.
[04:47] ---
    You should be happy…
[04:49] ---
    Now you can move around freely.
[04:51] ---
    So? Did you learn anything?
[04:54] ---
    Regarding Gengo, we have,
    like, nothing.
[04:57] ---
    And no one knows anything about
    the inside of the castle.
[05:00] ---
    It seems the man known as Gengo
    rarely appears before others.
[05:04] ---
    I learned one thing though.
[05:06] ---
    That castle is known
    as Fushu Castle.
[05:09] ---
    Fushu?
[05:10] ---
    As in prisoners of war…
[05:12] ---
    A derogatory term used by
    the mainstream for savage tribes
[05:15] ---
    along the border.
[05:17] ---
    Like, I can't believe anyone would
    name their own castle such a name.
[05:22] ---
    What of Sai?
[05:24] ---
    Nothing at all.
[05:26] ---
    Tsk… Well, it seems this Gengo
    is a very cautious man.
[05:31] ---
    He's worth looking into.
[05:34] ---
    Okay, why don't we go
    have some yakiniku…
[05:43] ---
    Hey Pops! You call this yakiniku?
[05:47] ---
    You can leave if you got
    any complaints!
[05:49] ---
    I didn't say I wasn't gonna eat it!
[05:51] ---
    Everyone's short of supplies.
[05:53] ---
    That's way better than nothing!
[05:56] ---
    Like, there are guys from
    all over the place.
[05:59] ---
    People without money are probably
    lured here by these requests.
[06:03] ---
    How long since
    you opened up shop?
[06:07] ---
    About the same time Gengo came,
    so around ten years.
[06:11] ---
    This village was doing
    worse back then.
[06:14] ---
    This Gengo fellow is
    an outsider too?
[06:17] ---
    He and his gang showed up
    out of the blue,
[06:19] ---
    and kicked out
    the domineering Feudal Lord.
[06:22] ---
    Feudal Lords are all useless.
[06:25] ---
    And did living conditions improve?
[06:28] ---
    Well, what do you think?
    Take a look around!
[06:31] ---
    They're all Gengo's followers.
[06:33] ---
    They boss everyone around.
[06:35] ---
    It was great that he kicked out
    the Feudal Lord…
[06:38] ---
    but after that, he just took over.
[06:42] ---
    I've seen that face somewhere…
[06:45] ---
    I was just thinking the same thing.
[07:04] ---
    There's no mistake.
[07:05] ---
    That is Minoichi,
    a former member of the ANBU.
[07:08] ---
    I totally thought
    he'd died somewhere.
[07:11] ---
    I don't remember anyone
    like him.
[07:14] ---
    Well, no wonder.
    This was during the last Great War.
[07:19] ---
    He killed everyone in his unit
    and went into hiding.
[07:25] ---
    Damn it, I can't stand
    the sight of him.
[07:29] ---
    So, like, what's he doing here,
    acting so high and mighty?
[07:32] ---
    Well, we'll have to ask him
    that directly.
[07:54] ---
    Wh-Who are you guys?!
[07:55] ---
    You can't run away anymore,
    Mr. Minoichi.
[07:58] ---
    I-I don't know that name!
[08:01] ---
    Don't play dumb with me!
[08:07] ---
    Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!
[08:09] ---
    Clearly, you remember it…
[08:11] ---
    If you're from Hidden Leaf Village,
[08:14] ---
    you know just what this jutsu
    can do, don't you?!
[08:17] ---
    S-Stop!
[08:18] ---
    You've moved up
    in the world,
[08:20] ---
    considering you killed
    all your comrades.
[08:22] ---
    Don't think you can get away
    from shinobi law!
[08:25] ---
    I-I'm not a shinobi anymore!
[08:27] ---
    I'm a revolutionary!
[08:29] ---
    A revolutionary?
[08:30] ---
    All of you living your idle lives
    in the stagnant world of shinobi
[08:33] ---
    couldn't possible understand
    our noble intentions!
[08:37] ---
    Enough of your stupid arguments!
[08:39] ---
    Or do you want me to
    kill you right here?
[08:42] ---
    S-Stop!
[08:47] ---
    Now answer me!
[08:49] ---
    Tell me all you know
    about this guy, Gengo!
[08:51] ---
    Start talking!
[08:58] ---
    Lord Shikamaru!
[09:07] ---
    Revolutionaries…earn that title when
    they have had their eyes opened by
[09:13] ---
    Lord Gengo's divine will.
[09:18] ---
    That's pretty lofty talk.
[09:21] ---
    This land does not need lowly men
    like Feudal Lords.
[09:25] ---
    We will create the ideal society
    for the shinobi.
[09:29] ---
    That's the true revolution
    envisioned by Lord Gengo.
[09:34] ---
    Lord Sai of the Hidden Leaf is supposedly
    being held captive here.
[09:37] ---
    Will you tell us where he is?
[09:42] ---
    You're Ro, aren't you?
[09:49] ---
    Who cares about shinobi law?!
[09:52] ---
    I've had enough of dying for
    the sake of Feudal Lords!
[09:55] ---
    I'll do anything to protect myself!
[09:58] ---
    Tsk…
[09:59] ---
    At last, you revealed your true self.
[10:01] ---
    A coward like you would
    understand how I feel, right, Ro?
[10:05] ---
    D-Don't!
[10:08] ---
    What're you talking about?!
[10:09] ---
    Don't you know what he did?
[10:23] ---
    That pressure point paralyzes
    the whole body.
[10:25] ---
    He'll be out for a while.
[10:27] ---
    Ro!
[10:29] ---
    Are you okay, Ro?!
[10:31] ---
    Ro!
[11:07] ---
    You're up.
[11:10] ---
    Like, you had me worried.
[11:12] ---
    I was…dreaming.
[11:17] ---
    It's okay if you don't wanna
    talk about it.
[11:21] ---
    It's funny how the memories
    one wishes to forget most
[11:25] ---
    tend to stick like glue.
[11:28] ---
    It was back when
    I was still a genin.
[11:32] ---
    My unit was ambushed by
    the enemy and…annihilated.
[11:41] ---
    I was the lone survivor,
[11:44] ---
    so I buried myself under
    the corpses of my comrades…
[11:48] ---
    and I suppressed my chakra for days,
    pretending to be dead.
[11:52] ---
    Thanks to the jutsu I mastered
    during that time,
[11:55] ---
    I was picked up by the ANBU.
[11:58] ---
    But this jutsu is a cursed power…
[12:01] ---
    acquired from the slaughter
    of my comrades.
[12:05] ---
    The same thing happened to me…
[12:08] ---
    The revolutionaries are like,
    gathering in the square.
[12:14] ---
    They're planning something.
[12:16] ---
    Let's go.
[12:19] ---
    But we can't go looking like this.
[12:26] ---
    We need like, two more.
[12:37] ---
    Ro, is the chakra disguise ready?
[12:40] ---
    I've already traced
    the clothing's owner.
[12:44] ---
    Soku, we're counting on you
    if anything happens.
[12:48] ---
    Soku, are you listening?
[12:50] ---
    Hey, you!
[13:01] ---
    Fix that collar!
[13:03] ---
    Lord Gengo is going
    to address us!
[13:05] ---
    Shape up!
[13:07] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:09] ---
    If you're not doing anything,
    help with the preparations!
[13:12] ---
    Understood?
[13:14] ---
    Perfect timing, wasn't it?
[13:17] ---
    It almost seems too perfect…
[13:20] ---
    But we can't pass up this opportunity
    if Gengo's gonna appear.
[13:30] ---
    From this spot, we can get Gengo,
    no matter where he tries to hide.
[13:35] ---
    Soku, stay alert.
    You've been spacing out.
[13:38] ---
    What Minoichi was saying…
[13:40] ---
    Huh?
[13:41] ---
    Kick out the Feudal Lords and
    create the ideal world for shinobi.
[13:45] ---
    It's not a bad idea.
[13:49] ---
    What are you saying?
[13:52] ---
    I like, just can't accept this system
[13:55] ---
    with useless Feudal Lords
    at the top.
[13:58] ---
    Don't deny ever thinking that too, Ro!
[14:04] ---
    I get where you're coming from.
[14:06] ---
    But focus on the mission right now.
[14:09] ---
    Distraction leads to mistakes.
[14:12] ---
    Like I need to be reminded.
[14:27] ---
    The stage is undefended…
[14:30] ---
    Either this Gengo is
    really confident,
[14:34] ---
    or really stupid.
[14:40] ---
    He's finally going to appear.
[14:42] ---
    Let's expose this guy
    for what he really is!
[14:52] ---
    First, I thank everyone who
    has come together here.
[15:02] ---
    Everyone…
[15:04] ---
    The day is near for true revolution!
[15:10] ---
    We'll have a better chance of catching
    Gengo with Shadow Stitching
[15:13] ---
    if we move up closer.
[15:15] ---
    Follow me.
[15:17] ---
    Tonight, I've planned
    something special.
[15:22] ---
    Allow me to introduce someone who tried
    to obstruct our true revolution!
[15:42] ---
    Sai!
[15:46] ---
    Everyone…What shall this man's fate be?
[15:49] ---
    Death!
[15:50] ---
    A sacrifice for our revolution!
[15:56] ---
    Your wishes have been heard.
[16:00] ---
    With the red blood of this man,
[16:02] ---
    the true revolution for justice
    will take another leap forward!
[16:12] ---
    Are you going to ignore Lord Sai?!
[16:16] ---
    We're helpless against that crowd.
[16:19] ---
    I'm gonna use this.
[16:21] ---
    EXPLOSION
    
    
[16:21] ---
    EXPLOSION
    
    A diversion?
[16:23] ---
    Ten years have passed quickly
    since I rose up in this land.
[16:26] ---
    Many comrades have joined me
    and this land has started to flourish.
[16:32] ---
    However…!
[16:33] ---
    not a single one of
    our hopes has yet been realized.
[16:44] ---
    I want ask the citizens
    of the Land of Silence!
[16:48] ---
    This land under the rule
    of the Feudal Lord…
[16:50] ---
    and this land now—
    which is the better world to live in?
[16:55] ---
    Feudal Lords who have
    nowhere near
[16:56] ---
    our strength or intelligence
    have ruled over the shinobi.
[17:00] ---
    But that dark age is a thing of the past.
[17:03] ---
    We, the revolutionaries,
    will protect this land!
[17:06] ---
    The wish of the revolutionaries
    is to push forward
[17:11] ---
    to make this land rich
    and prosperous!
[17:13] ---
    Damn it!
[17:14] ---
    The ones who should rule this land
    are not the Feudal Lords…
[17:17] ---
    but we who possess
    the power of shinobi!
[17:20] ---
    Hey, Ro!
[17:20] ---
    – This is no time to daydream!
    – The shinobi is the key…
[17:23] ---
    – Snap out of it!
    – to make this land safe and just.
[17:26] ---
    Lord Shikamaru!
[17:27] ---
    – I was…
    – It's been ten years since
[17:29] ---
    EXPLOSION
    
[17:30] ---
    I'm gonna rescue Sai.
[17:32] ---
    When you see me go around
    the back, lay it on real thick.
[17:35] ---
    Got it?!
[17:37] ---
    Understood!
[17:40] ---
    Why must shinobi
    be treated differently?
[17:45] ---
    Why must we
    be discriminated against?
[17:51] ---
    Damn it!
[17:52] ---
    He's using some weird trick!
[17:56] ---
    Shinobi locked in the old ways,
    content with their lot
[17:59] ---
    content with discrimination,
    content to be controlled, destroyed us!
[18:03] ---
    Now hear me!
[18:05] ---
    People of the Land of Silence
    awaiting the dawn…
[18:07] ---
    The sunlight of a new era shines
    on the Land of Silence!
[18:24] ---
    So, you've shown yourself, rat.
[18:27] ---
    Your performance is over!
[18:29] ---
    Protect Lord Gengo!
[18:32] ---
    Lord Gengo, please take cover!
[18:37] ---
    Sai, I've come to get you.
[18:39] ---
    You'd better not be dead.
[19:05] ---
    Cut it out, Sai!
[19:07] ---
    I'm here to save you.
[19:12] ---
    I've woken up.
[19:15] ---
    You will soon
    understand too, Shikamaru.
[19:20] ---
    Sai, you!
[19:22] ---
    Gengo, is this your doing?
[19:26] ---
    How a shinobi of your stature would
    be bound by old-fashioned laws,
[19:32] ---
    is beyond my comprehension.
[19:39] ---
    Shut up! Shut up!
[19:43] ---
    Why do you suppress
    your memories?
[19:45] ---
    Are you afraid to face them?
[19:48] ---
    You're not fooling me with
    your pretentious talk!
[19:52] ---
    Soku, do it!
[20:01] ---
    Too bad.
[20:03] ---
    Don't you dare do anything
    to my comrades!
[20:06] ---
    Do anything to them?
    Of course, not.
[20:08] ---
    I happen to like shinobi
    with abilities.
[20:20] ---
    And of course, you happen
    to be one of them,
[20:24] ---
    genius of the Hidden Leaf,
    Shikamaru Nara.
[20:36] ---
    It's no use.
[20:38] ---
    Shikamaru, you must wake up too.
[20:40] ---
    Stop messing around!
[20:42] ---
    I just hate getting woken up
    when I'm fast asleep!
[20:56] ---
    Farewell…
[21:04] ---
    To be continued
[22:41] ---
    Shikamaru, it's useless to hide.
    
    
[22:44] ---
    I can't use my shadows,
    
    
[22:45] ---
    my field of vision has been taken away…
    
    
[22:47] ---
    Calm down.
    
    
[22:48] ---
    There's still a chance an opportunity
    will present itself.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I could break through the enemy camp
    with a Climbing Silver,
    
    
[22:54] ---
    but a flying knight might fall prey
    to a pawn.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 4:
    A Cloud of Suspicion"
    
    
    
[23:03] ---
    I've no intention of becoming
    a sacrificial pawn!
