[00:07] ---
    It's no use.
[00:08] ---
    Shikamaru, you must come
    to your senses.
[00:11] ---
    Forget it!
[00:13] ---
    I hate to be woken up when
    I'm having a good sleep!
[02:15] ---
    Cloud of Suspicion
    
    
    
    
[02:30] ---
    Silver-4c, pawn-3f, rook-4b, rook-4h,
[02:35] ---
    bishop-3f, pawn-1f, pawn-1d,
    pawn-2f, king-6b…
[02:42] ---
    King-6h, king-7b, king-7h, silver-6b…
[02:57] ---
    You're really hanging in there.
[03:00] ---
    The average shinobi would
    have given up long ago.
[03:04] ---
    I'm busy playing shogi
    with past masters.
[03:08] ---
    I don't have time to get bored.
[03:10] ---
    I like your stubbornness.
[03:13] ---
    You can learn a lot from shogi.
[03:16] ---
    No matter what position you're in,
    there's always a way out.
[03:21] ---
    Are you planning on
    getting out of this situation?
[03:23] ---
    I look forward to seeing that.
[03:25] ---
    Hey, can you at least
    give me back my lighter?
[03:28] ---
    I just can't calm down
    without it.
[03:30] ---
    Sure, when you decide to
    accept Lord Gengo's beliefs.
[03:35] ---
    Why would you follow
    a guy like that?
[03:38] ---
    Let's just say I found
    the place where I belong.
[03:41] ---
    And that wasn't
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
[03:43] ---
    Weren't you a member of Team 7?
[03:46] ---
    Then why didn't Naruto come?
[03:49] ---
    You and I aren't close,
    so why did you come?
[03:54] ---
    Naruto knows nothing
    about this situation.
[03:57] ---
    This was all my decision.
[03:59] ---
    Even still, if this had been
    Sasuke or Sakura,
[04:03] ---
    surely Naruto would have come…
[04:05] ---
    I bet Gengo put those ideas
    in your head, right?
[04:10] ---
    There's no doubt that
    Gengo controls people with words.
[04:13] ---
    So why don't you snap out
    of it and wake up?
[04:15] ---
    I woke up a long time ago.
[04:17] ---
    When Lord Gengo gave me a will.
[04:25] ---
    Wait.
[04:27] ---
    Do you still have more to say?
[04:29] ---
    I promise…
[04:30] ---
    I'm gonna undo Gengo's jutsu
    and save you.
[04:35] ---
    I'd resign myself if I were you.
[04:39] ---
    Otherwise, things will get much worse.
[04:48] ---
    You're a member of the Hidden Leaf.
[04:50] ---
    Don't forget that!
[05:05] ---
    Pawn-4e, bishop-3c…
[05:08] ---
    Knight-3g…
[05:10] ---
    Nope…
[05:11] ---
    I don't have enough pieces right now.
[05:13] ---
    The king's gonna get away.
[05:20] ---
    Ro! Is that you?!
[05:22] ---
    That voice…is it you Lord Shikamaru?
[05:25] ---
    Hey Gengo!
[05:27] ---
    These guys were just
    obeying my orders!
[05:29] ---
    If you're gonna kill someone,
    kill me!
[05:33] ---
    Remember, as long as you live,
    there's a chance.
[05:36] ---
    Don't give up!
[05:37] ---
    I won't let you give up and die!
[05:41] ---
    Worry not.
[05:43] ---
    This is nothing…
[05:46] ---
    What happened to Soku?
    Wasn't she with you?
[05:49] ---
    She's okay, isn't she?!
[05:54] ---
    Why do you insist on
    serving Feudal Lords
[05:58] ---
    and incompetent people
    who oppress you?
[06:02] ---
    Like, that's none of
    your business!
[06:05] ---
    Remember…
[06:06] ---
    The way that those people
    looked at you.
[06:08] ---
    What did you see deep
    inside their eyes?
[06:11] ---
    Like, I don't remember!
[06:13] ---
    Sure, you do.
[06:14] ---
    The truth is, it's stuck to your mind
    and won't go away. Isn't that so?
[06:19] ---
    Remember!
[06:20] ---
    The eyes that looked at you.
[06:23] ---
    The suspicious eyes
    that feared me,
[06:26] ---
    and tried to discriminate against me…
[06:29] ---
    Why must you give your proud and
    mighty life for people like that?
[06:35] ---
    Why pledge loyalty to those
    who hold you in bondage?
[06:41] ---
    They are using me.
[06:46] ---
    Everyone is an enemy.
[06:48] ---
    There is nothing to fear.
[06:50] ---
    Now, turn.
[06:51] ---
    And accept everything.
[07:02] ---
    A will has just been granted.
[07:33] ---
    I've brought him, Lord Gengo…
[07:37] ---
    My apologies for
    the inhospitable treatment.
[07:40] ---
    As you know,
    I can't let down my guard.
[07:43] ---
    I have no intention
    of speaking to you.
[07:45] ---
    It's obvious you're trying
    to control me with your words.
[07:48] ---
    You're starting to look
    like your father.
[07:52] ---
    Forgive me, but I looked
    into your background.
[07:55] ---
    Your family and friends…
[07:57] ---
    And the fact that
    you came here to kill me.
[08:02] ---
    Why do you people
    keep oppressing us?
[08:06] ---
    When did we do that?
[08:08] ---
    This land is feeble.
[08:10] ---
    We barely have natural resources
    and the ground is fallow,
[08:14] ---
    yet we are trying
    our hardest to survive. That is all.
[08:17] ---
    Yeah right, all the while
    you're gathering up Rogue Ninja…
[08:20] ---
    What's your motive?
[08:22] ---
    Are you planning on starting a war?
[08:24] ---
    I'm not gathering them.
[08:26] ---
    They come to me,
    seeking salvation.
[08:30] ---
    Salvation?!
[08:32] ---
    Have you never questioned
    the current existence of shinobi?
[08:37] ---
    Without war,
[08:38] ---
    they are no more than hunting dogs
    for Feudal Lords and the rich.
[08:41] ---
    Is that truly a fitting life
    for a shinobi?
[08:44] ---
    What is it that
    you're trying to say?
[08:46] ---
    They come here because
    they want to be real shinobi.
[08:52] ---
    The alliance of nations
    to maintain a dark peace…
[08:55] ---
    and bind shinobi with
    meaningless laws.
[08:58] ---
    But there will always
    be those who reject it.
[09:01] ---
    This land is merely
    the gathering place for them.
[09:05] ---
    Various rules are necessary
    to preserve peace.
[09:09] ---
    The peace you speak of
    is nothing but a theory,
[09:12] ---
    forced upon us
    by the Great Nations.
[09:13] ---
    The Tailed Beasts that
    you keep are proof of that.
[09:18] ---
    Had you used one,
[09:19] ---
    this land would be
    completely helpless.
[09:22] ---
    Isn't that so?
[09:24] ---
    We have no intention of ever using
    a Tailed Beast for war again.
[09:28] ---
    You keep the Tailed Beast
    to yourselves,
[09:31] ---
    and you expect us to believe that?
[09:33] ---
    Isn't that the biggest excuse
    by the Great Nations?
[09:37] ---
    Quit jumping to conclusions.
[09:38] ---
    Then how about this?
[09:40] ---
    Give this land a Tailed Beast too.
[09:44] ---
    I'm sure the Hidden Cloud
    has an extra one, correct?
[09:48] ---
    Then we wouldn't worry,
    and we would believe you.
[09:52] ---
    You know we can't do that.
[09:54] ---
    Of course not.
[09:55] ---
    You espouse peace openly…
[09:58] ---
    but deep down, you don't trust
    small countries like ours.
[10:04] ---
    But you can't make the argument
    for war because of that.
[10:08] ---
    There's got to be another solution.
[10:10] ---
    You need another solution?
[10:13] ---
    Come with me.
[10:14] ---
    I'd like to show you something…
[10:48] ---
    What is this?
[10:50] ---
    Agricultural crops can't grow
    at our elevation.
[10:54] ---
    The people live in poverty
    with little to eat.
[10:59] ---
    If we just had some kind
    of product,
[11:01] ---
    something to add value
    to their lives…
[11:03] ---
    This flower is the result
    of selective breeding.
[11:08] ---
    You've seen it here and there,
    haven't you?
[11:12] ---
    But it was all for nothing…
[11:15] ---
    This flower wilts the moment
    it's taken out of this village,
[11:18] ---
    due to its unique environment.
[11:22] ---
    Why did you choose
    the way of the shinobi?
[11:25] ---
    Was it to file away documents
    for the rest of your life?
[11:28] ---
    Who knows.
[11:31] ---
    Most likely not.
[11:33] ---
    You train daily to hone
    your skills.
[11:38] ---
    And with your skills,
    you defeat the enemy,
[11:40] ---
    to protect what is precious.
[11:42] ---
    That is the way a shinobi
    should live.
[11:44] ---
    That is the way your father
    and mentor lived.
[11:51] ---
    How would you know?!
[11:53] ---
    You probably hope that you can
    measure up to them someday.
[11:58] ---
    But in a world of peace,
    can you really accomplish that?
[12:04] ---
    It is because of war,
[12:07] ---
    that shinobi abilities underwent
    remarkable development.
[12:10] ---
    If there had been continual peace,
[12:11] ---
    even you would never have spent
    such worthwhile moments with your friends.
[12:17] ---
    Am I wrong?
[12:24] ---
    If that's the price for peace,
[12:26] ---
    I'll gladly throw down my weapons.
[12:29] ---
    You're not speaking
    from your heart.
[12:32] ---
    You feel your own abilities
    weakening, don't you?
[12:42] ---
    Shikamaru…
[12:45] ---
    Shut up!
[12:46] ---
    Stay out of this.
[12:50] ---
    Do not fear, Shikamaru.
[12:53] ---
    Put your hand down.
[13:00] ---
    Yes, that's it.
[13:02] ---
    First, why don't you calm down?
[13:04] ---
    Take a deep breath.
[13:08] ---
    Do you like it?
[13:09] ---
    The scent of my precious flowers?
[13:14] ---
    Come on.
[13:16] ---
    I get it…
[13:17] ---
    So, that's it.
[13:25] ---
    The scent of certain flowers has
    the effect of stirring up memories.
[13:29] ---
    So, that's what you've been
    using to brainwash people.
[13:32] ---
    What inconceivable will…
[13:34] ---
    But that discovery won't
    get you anywhere.
[13:38] ---
    You cannot disobey me.
[13:40] ---
    Where are my comrades?!
    Where are Ro and Soku?!
[13:43] ---
    Bring them here!
[13:45] ---
    We are right here.
[13:48] ---
    Huh?! You two?!
[13:51] ---
    Like, Lord Gengo has
    given us the will...
[14:07] ---
    Find him! Don't let him escape
    from this castle!
[14:18] ---
    Shikamaru, it's useless to hide.
[14:30] ---
    I'm still numb…
[14:32] ---
    Damn it, Soku!
[14:36] ---
    I can't use my Shadows.
[14:37] ---
    My rook and bishop two-piece
    handicap is gone too.
[14:39] ---
    The situation is bleak.
[14:46] ---
    It's unlike you…
[14:47] ---
    I can't believe you'd go
    with the Climbing Silver.
[14:49] ---
    It's using an advance unit
    to break through enemy lines.
[14:52] ---
    You have to be ready to use tactics
    like this once in a while…
[14:57] ---
    If I escape now, the risk for
    the Hidden Leaf will increase.
[15:00] ---
    That's what you told me back then.
[15:03] ---
    So, I guess that time
    has come for me.
[15:12] ---
    Calm down.
[15:13] ---
    There's still a chance
    an opportunity will present itself.
[15:17] ---
    Shikamaru, presently,
    you are the knight.
[15:22] ---
    Breaking through the enemy camp
    with a Climbing Silver or…
[15:25] ---
    perhaps a knight that jumps high…
[15:36] ---
    Guess I have no choice
[15:38] ---
    but to jump back into
    the den of the king.
[15:46] ---
    Lord Gengo, are you sure
    it's all right
[15:49] ---
    to leave the search
    for Shikamaru to Sai?
[15:52] ---
    Like, it will be bad is
    he gets out of the castle.
[15:54] ---
    Don't panic.
[15:57] ---
    If he gets cornered,
    he's the type
[16:00] ---
    to throw himself into an even
    more difficult situation.
[16:04] ---
    Isn't that right, Shikamaru?
[16:09] ---
    You knew I was here?
[16:11] ---
    That's no fun.
[16:13] ---
    You wouldn't leave this behind.
[16:17] ---
    You came back just for that?
[16:19] ---
    You're something.
[16:21] ---
    Resign yourself
    and be captured!
[16:31] ---
    If the floor won't work,
    there's always the ceiling.
[16:39] ---
    Below.
[16:44] ---
    My body…
[16:45] ---
    Whoa…
[16:46] ---
    Lord Shikamaru, release me!
[16:49] ---
    To break a genjutsu,
[16:51] ---
    the theory is to bring down
    the one who placed it.
[16:53] ---
    What do you say, Gengo?
[16:55] ---
    Impossible.
[16:57] ---
    No one can resist my words.
[17:00] ---
    Ro…
[17:01] ---
    Sorry, but you'll have to
    be my shield for a while.
[17:04] ---
    Shoot.
[17:05] ---
    Don't worry about hitting Ro.
[17:06] ---
    Go ahead and shoot.
[17:07] ---
    Just make sure you aim straight.
[17:16] ---
    Stop, Shikamaru.
[17:18] ---
    You cannot resist my voice.
[17:20] ---
    Don't tell me you—?!
[17:23] ---
    You purposely let Soku
    hit you in the ear
[17:25] ---
    to dull your sense of hearing?!
[17:28] ---
    This is the knight's jump!
[17:40] ---
    I'm disappointed, Shikamaru.
[17:42] ---
    So disappointed.
[17:44] ---
    Please stay back, Lord Gengo.
[17:45] ---
    Leave this to me.
[17:47] ---
    Well done!
[17:49] ---
    Gengo!
[17:52] ---
    You won't get away!
[17:58] ---
    Damn it!
[18:15] ---
    Damn it, you keep
    getting beaten up by girls.
[18:20] ---
    Weren't you going to
    become a better leader
[18:22] ---
    for the sake of your comrades?
[18:25] ---
    Dad… I…
[18:28] ---
    I'm just not cut out to
    be a shinobi.
[18:41] ---
    Is he dead?
[18:42] ---
    I didn't like, kill him yet.
[18:44] ---
    Well, he had no chance
    at the end.
[18:47] ---
    How pitiful…
[18:49] ---
    I'm physically at my limit.
[18:51] ---
    The air feels so heavy.
[18:54] ---
    Man, this is such a drag.
[19:04] ---
    Are you okay, Shikamaru?
[19:06] ---
    Don't you dare die on us!
[19:12] ---
    You guys?!
[19:14] ---
    But what're you doing here?
[19:17] ---
    Oh, I get it. I'm still dreaming…
[19:19] ---
    Shikamaru!
[19:21] ---
    T-Temari?!
[19:22] ---
    I expect a lot more from you!
[19:25] ---
    Why're you just sitting around
    dazed like that?!
[19:27] ---
    Shikamaru?!
[19:28] ---
    Stop it, Temari!
[19:29] ---
    He'll really die.
[19:31] ---
    Shut up!
[19:33] ---
    That's for lying to me at
    the Allied Forces meeting.
[19:37] ---
    Sorry, Temari.
[19:41] ---
    Thanks to you,
    I've come to my senses.
[19:43] ---
    Shikamaru!
[19:44] ---
    Sorry, but can you take over here?
[19:47] ---
    I have one more guy
    to take down.
[19:51] ---
    Is that Gengo?!
[19:53] ---
    How did you know?
[19:54] ---
    Lord Hokage told me.
[19:57] ---
    I had a hell of a time trying
    to get it out of him.
[19:59] ---
    I don't want to
    even imagine what you did.
[20:07] ---
    So, Shikamaru, it's okay
    to crush these guys?
[20:10] ---
    They're brainwashed,
    but they're comrades.
[20:13] ---
    Please wake them up as well!
[20:16] ---
    Like, shut your mouth.
[20:17] ---
    Wait!
[20:19] ---
    You're forgetting one thing.
[20:22] ---
    He probably knows you're coming
    and has laid traps.
[20:27] ---
    I hope the odds of your winning
    in that condition is good.
[20:30] ---
    I have no intention of being
    a sacrificial pawn.
[20:43] ---
    All right then!
[20:49] ---
    Okay, let's get on with our final moves…
[20:54] ---
    Gengo!
[21:04] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
    
[22:40] ---
    The Hidden Leaf still holds
    that much importance to you?
    
    
[22:43] ---
    Damn right!
    
    
[22:44] ---
    Then I'll let you in
    on something good…
    
    
[22:47] ---
    What would you think if I said
    I've sent my comrades
    
    
[22:50] ---
    with the will I bestowed upon them,
    into all of the Hidden Villages?
    
    
[22:53] ---
    What did you say?
