[01:43] ---
    I won't let you get away…Gengo!
[01:46] ---
    Dawn
    
    
    
[01:50] ---
    To think, Shikamaru had
    this many reinforcements
[01:53] ---
    waiting in the wings.
[01:54] ---
    As expected of a coward like him.
[01:58] ---
    I think you're misunderstanding something,
    so I'm going to set you right.
[02:00] ---
    We barged in on our own.
[02:06] ---
    Shikamaru is hiding something.
[02:08] ---
    Yes.
[02:10] ---
    It must be serious,
    for him to act alone.
[02:14] ---
    Will you look into it, Temari?
[02:16] ---
    Use as much manpower as necessary.
[02:20] ---
    Are you sure?
[02:21] ---
    Shikamaru is a Leaf shinobi.
[02:24] ---
    Sand or Leaf… The age of
    drawing lines is over.
[02:27] ---
    A man who is essential to
    the Alliance is worth it.
[02:31] ---
    Besides…
[02:33] ---
    I doubt the Hokage would
    willingly give us intel.
[02:37] ---
    I'll drag it out of him.
[02:38] ---
    I know you understand,
    but do it as peacefully as possible.
[02:42] ---
    Sure, I'll do it as peacefully…
[02:46] ---
    as I can.
[02:50] ---
    And…?
[02:51] ---
    Is there something else
    you needed to ask me?
[02:53] ---
    Shikamaru is now…
[03:03] ---
    Anyway, we rushed over
[03:05] ---
    after hearing that
    Shikamaru was in trouble.
[03:08] ---
    Out of friendship, right?
[03:10] ---
    That brings a tear to my eye.
[03:11] ---
    Well, wait.
[03:13] ---
    I'll make you cry so hard,
    you'll hate it.
[03:16] ---
    Leave Sai to me.
[03:19] ---
    He's strong, you know.
[03:20] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[03:23] ---
    Sorry, Ino,
    but you're no match for me.
[03:27] ---
    Let me take the old man!
[03:29] ---
    Oh?
[03:34] ---
    Wind Scythe Jutsu!
[03:45] ---
    Wow, that was a surprise.
[03:47] ---
    But you won't get me
    a second time!
[03:54] ---
    I shall show no mercy,
    even if you are just a brat!
[03:56] ---
    Expansion Jutsu!
[03:58] ---
    What?!
[04:03] ---
    Who did you just call a brat?
[04:10] ---
    Your name is Soku, right?
[04:12] ---
    You should be supporting Shikamaru.
[04:15] ---
    So, what the hell are you doing?!
[04:17] ---
    Like, I simply chose my master
[04:20] ---
    in order to realize
    my full potential.
[04:22] ---
    What?
[04:24] ---
    Like, staying under
    a weakling like Shikamaru
[04:27] ---
    is too tedious and futile!
[04:32] ---
    Damn!
[04:33] ---
    Aim more carefully next time.
[04:36] ---
    If you miss again…
[04:38] ---
    you'll lose.
[04:47] ---
    You will definitely
    accept my will, Shikamaru.
[04:54] ---
    Your head's nothing
    but a flower garden!
[04:59] ---
    Resign yourself…
[05:01] ---
    It's all too late.
[05:04] ---
    Too late?
[05:05] ---
    What the hell do you mean?!
[05:10] ---
    Not bad!
[05:12] ---
    But if you're already out of breath
    against one opponent,
[05:16] ---
    you don't have a chance.
[05:17] ---
    Sai, wake up!
[05:20] ---
    Why don't you worry
    about yourself instead of me?
[05:23] ---
    "I don't even know myself anymore…"
[05:26] ---
    That's what you supposedly wrote
    in the last missive you sent.
[05:30] ---
    I have the will that Lord Gengo
    bestowed upon me.
[05:34] ---
    So…I'm not lost anymore!
[05:44] ---
    Oh…
[05:46] ---
    Did I overdo it?
[05:48] ---
    His chakra's not reacting…
[05:55] ---
    No way… Did he die?
[06:05] ---
    You could say that making my target
    misread chakra is my specialty.
[06:12] ---
    I have no idea what you're saying…
[06:17] ---
    Shikamaru should be kneeling
    before Lord Gengo about now.
[06:24] ---
    Shikamaru would never…
[06:27] ---
    What brute strength!
[06:30] ---
    …bow down to anyone!
[06:33] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[06:35] ---
    Why you—!
[06:50] ---
    Take this!
[07:04] ---
    Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!
[07:25] ---
    I'll never give up...
[07:27] ---
    on a precious friend!
[07:30] ---
    Around now, your precious friend
    should be receiving Lord Gengo's will.
[07:36] ---
    Even as you lay your life on the line.
[07:39] ---
    You don't understand, do you?
[07:42] ---
    The precious friend I'm talking about…
[07:45] ---
    is you!
[07:47] ---
    You belong to the Hidden Leaf.
[07:49] ---
    Don't ever forget that!
[07:52] ---
    Being friends is useless!
[07:55] ---
    Then…
[07:56] ---
    Then what's that on your cheek?
[08:02] ---
    Mind Transmission Jutsu!
[08:05] ---
    Let me take over your mind
    for a little while.
[08:28] ---
    I didn't lure you in here
[08:30] ---
    just to prevent you from
    using your shadows.
[08:33] ---
    When a human loses
    the ability to see and smell,
[08:35] ---
    his sense of hearing
    becomes much sharper.
[08:38] ---
    Giving you an even
    greater advantage, huh?
[08:42] ---
    In the shinobi world,
    you're either the user or the used.
[08:48] ---
    What're you talking about?
[08:50] ---
    Words from a shinobi that
    I once believed in…
[08:53] ---
    Surely, even you've heard
    the name Zabuza Momochi.
[08:58] ---
    Zabuza…
[09:00] ---
    Wasn't he the instigator of
    the Mizukage assassination incident?
[09:04] ---
    After the failed coup d'état,
    we deserted the village.
[09:08] ---
    We had faith in Zabuza's promise
[09:10] ---
    to return some day to create
    the ideal society.
[09:14] ---
    But the hardships of wandering
    took its toll and changed him.
[09:17] ---
    And so, I used Zabuza instead.
[09:21] ---
    Just as he had taught.
[09:24] ---
    To put it bluntly,
    you sold out your friend.
[09:27] ---
    And I settled here with
    my comrades.
[09:30] ---
    In order to create the ideal society
    that Zabuza could not.
[09:35] ---
    And now, it's finally becoming a reality.
[09:39] ---
    Don't you want to usher
    in that moment with me?
[09:43] ---
    No thanks!
[09:44] ---
    The only society I'll sacrifice
    my life to protect
[09:47] ---
    is the Hidden Leaf!
[09:48] ---
    The same way that your father
    and mentor did?
[09:54] ---
    You have no right to talk about
    my dad or Asuma!
[09:58] ---
    I'll tear down your ideals!
[10:03] ---
    What has happened…to me?
[10:07] ---
    You are…?
[10:11] ---
    Like, my head is throbbing…
[10:14] ---
    That's guy's…
[10:16] ---
    the only one left.
[10:20] ---
    Sai...answer me!
[10:24] ---
    Sai!
[10:26] ---
    Sai!
[10:30] ---
    Who are you?
[10:32] ---
    I'm your friend.
[10:34] ---
    No…
[10:36] ---
    They are my only friends.
[10:38] ---
    That's just what that guy Gengo
    made you believe!
[10:42] ---
    Don't come any closer! Go away!
[11:01] ---
    Let's go back together, Sai.
[11:05] ---
    Everyone is waiting for you.
[11:13] ---
    Sai… Sai!
[11:19] ---
    Ino?
[11:20] ---
    You're back!
[11:22] ---
    Where is Shikamaru?!
[11:24] ---
    Shikamaru went after that Gengo guy.
[11:27] ---
    That's not good!
[11:28] ---
    I have to let Shikamaru
    know right away!
[11:31] ---
    No matter what happens…
[11:32] ---
    He can't turn around!
[11:41] ---
    Is the Hidden Leaf
    that important to you?
[11:43] ---
    Damned right it is!
[11:45] ---
    Then I'll let you in on something good…
[11:49] ---
    Do you think that I only isolated
    myself in this region
[11:52] ---
    and did nothing else?
[11:55] ---
    What would you think
[11:57] ---
    if I've sent my initiates with
    the will I bestowed upon them,
[11:59] ---
    into all of the Hidden Villages?
[12:02] ---
    The people of the Five Great Nations
    aren't blind.
[12:05] ---
    Your people may have
    infiltrated the core,
[12:08] ---
    but they'll get caught in time.
[12:10] ---
    I'm talking about the citizens…
[12:12] ---
    The safety of those
    who are most dear to you…
[12:17] ---
    What did you say?
[12:20] ---
    One signal from me,
    and they will create an incident.
[12:24] ---
    You don't have the means to stop it.
[12:29] ---
    You're bluffing!
[12:30] ---
    In time, you'll see if I'm lying or not.
[12:33] ---
    Stop!
    Don't you dare touch Mirai!
[12:36] ---
    Big Brother Shika!
[12:37] ---
    Mirai!
[12:38] ---
    Mirai!
[12:39] ---
    Y-You can't fool me…
[12:43] ---
    I've already figured out that
    you infuse chakra into your voice
[12:47] ---
    to manipulate people.
[12:50] ---
    The more you resist with your mind,
    the more the heart seeks it.
[12:57] ---
    Big Brother Shika!
[12:59] ---
    Mirai!
[13:01] ---
    You'll pay if you lay
    a hand on Mirai…
[13:04] ---
    I'll make sure your breath
    is completely snuffed out.
[13:09] ---
    Kill… Kill…
[13:12] ---
    – Gengo, you're dangerous.
    – Kill… Kill…
[13:15] ---
    I can't let you go on living.
[13:18] ---
    This is to protect the Hidden Leaf!
[13:20] ---
    – It's for that reason that...
    – Kill… Kill…
[13:21] ---
    I've come to carry out
    a mission that's not like me!
[13:25] ---
    – In order to make Naruto the Hokage!
    – Kill… Kill…
[13:42] ---
    Naruto…
[13:50] ---
    Ramen!
[13:53] ---
    Huh?
[13:55] ---
    What the hell was that?
[13:57] ---
    What's the matter, Shikamaru?
[13:59] ---
    Now, confront the darkness
    that consumes your heart!
[14:12] ---
    I-I have to get it right
    the next time.
[14:16] ---
    Look, you're just a brat,
    so it's okay if you ease up a little.
[14:22] ---
    But it's my fault that my friends…
[14:25] ---
    Thinking about your friends
    is important.
[14:29] ---
    But you don't have to take on
    all that responsibility.
[14:32] ---
    'Cuz it's a drag.
[14:41] ---
    Why?
[14:43] ---
    Why doesn't my jutsu work on you?
[14:45] ---
    Your heart is full of cracks!
[14:48] ---
    Yeah... My heart is full of cracks…
[14:52] ---
    In fact, it's nothing but one big crack.
[14:56] ---
    I-Impossible!
[14:57] ---
    Your words don't have
    any effect on me anymore.
[15:02] ---
    I finally understand.
[15:04] ---
    Earlier, you said you came to
    this land with your comrades.
[15:07] ---
    But why isn't there a single comrade
    standing beside you?
[15:13] ---
    You probably killed them all,
    and hid them in this castle, right?
[15:18] ---
    You're all alone,
[15:20] ---
    because you only believe in
    using others or being used.
[15:23] ---
    This place is like peering deep
    into your heart!
[15:28] ---
    You and I are alike!
[15:30] ---
    We're smart, we can't trust anyone!
[15:33] ---
    Don't lump me in with you!
[15:39] ---
    You—!
[15:41] ---
    Looks like you're still conscious!
[15:43] ---
    Yeah, but it was touch and
    go for a little while.
[15:47] ---
    Ro, Soku!
[15:50] ---
    Let's go.
[15:52] ---
    Okay, let's clean this up quickly!
[15:57] ---
    Why don't we leave it
    to them this time?
[16:01] ---
    Yeah, you're right…
[16:03] ---
    Shikamaru did just call
    on those two.
[16:18] ---
    A clone?!
[16:21] ---
    That's right. With his chakra—!
[16:27] ---
    Enveloping his shadow
    with chakra?!
[16:30] ---
    Which one is real?
[16:33] ---
    I can't...move!
[16:36] ---
    If you stop me,
    the world of the shinobi will decline!
[16:40] ---
    Don't you care
    if you're consigned
[16:42] ---
    to a life of servitude under
    the Feudal Lords?
[16:45] ---
    A place where even the easygoing
    can live in their own way…
[16:50] ---
    That's the kind of world
    I want to protect!
[16:53] ---
    How stupid!
[16:54] ---
    I will not let you interfere
    with my vision!
[17:04] ---
    Like, the chakra flowing to
    your tongue's been cut off…
[17:12] ---
    Mission…complete!
[17:17] ---
    Good work.
[17:19] ---
    We'll be taking Gengo
    and his revolutionaries
[17:21] ---
    back to the Hidden Leaf Village now.
[17:23] ---
    Will you be joining us?
[17:26] ---
    We…
[17:31] ---
    You came to the rescue again.
[17:34] ---
    Sheesh...
[17:36] ---
    You really are something, Naruto.
[17:43] ---
    You guys!
[17:44] ---
    What? Did you forget something?
[17:48] ---
    Like, we were told
    we're on a mission
[17:50] ---
    until we get back to the village.
[17:51] ---
    We shall accompany you,
    Lord Shikamaru.
[17:54] ---
    Huh? Oh, yeah?
[17:58] ---
    Senpai!
[18:00] ---
    Yurito?!
[18:03] ---
    You came too?
[18:04] ---
    I finally got to handle
    a big assignment!
[18:09] ---
    O-Oh…
[18:10] ---
    Huh? Senpai, aren't you being
    too stiff and formal again?
[18:15] ---
    Clouds! The clouds!
    Remember, the clouds!
[18:19] ---
    Oh, yeah…
[18:21] ---
    Anyways, I'm busy,
    so 'scuse me!
[18:27] ---
    Lord Shikamaru?
[18:30] ---
    You can reach out to try
    and grab the cloud…
[18:33] ---
    but you can never grasp it.
[18:34] ---
    If there's wind, it'll blow away.
[18:36] ---
    Such a strange thing with no core.
[18:42] ---
    Temari…
[18:43] ---
    Huh? What is it?
[18:45] ---
    Well… It's nothing important, but…
[18:49] ---
    Um…
[18:50] ---
    What is it?
[18:51] ---
    Spit it out.
[18:53] ---
    Go a bit easier
    when you slap people, will you?
[18:57] ---
    If you space out again,
    I'll slap you as much as I want to!
[19:01] ---
    Okay… I'm counting on you for that.
[19:06] ---
    Thanks…for what you did this time.
[19:10] ---
    Is this an awkward conversation
    or what?!
[19:13] ---
    Just hurry and ask her on a date!
[19:15] ---
    There, there…
[19:17] ---
    Ino…
[19:19] ---
    Sai?
[19:20] ---
    Thanks, beautiful.
[19:22] ---
    I really felt…your kindness.
[19:25] ---
    Beautiful? Oh…uh!
[19:28] ---
    I want to thank you…
[19:30] ---
    That's if you'd let me.
[19:32] ---
    Oh… Well then…
[19:36] ---
    Maybe a d-date…?
[19:39] ---
    Ino, now you're being awkward.
[19:42] ---
    Maybe…next time…we can…
[19:46] ---
    go get a bite to eat.
[19:48] ---
    You mean, a date?
[19:49] ---
    Huh?
[19:50] ---
    Are you asking me out on a date?
[19:53] ---
    Well, yeah.
[19:57] ---
    I see. A date, huh.
[20:00] ---
    You don't want to?
[20:02] ---
    That's not it.
[20:04] ---
    Huh? Uh?
[20:06] ---
    Be prepared.
[20:08] ---
    A date with me
    can be quite a drag.
[20:14] ---
    Do you have a plan?
[20:17] ---
    Huh?
[20:18] ---
    Like, a date strategy.
[20:19] ---
    Like I'd have one!
[20:21] ---
    Going on a first date
    without a strategy
[20:24] ---
    is like fighting
    a Tailed Beast unarmed.
[20:27] ---
    You have zero chance of winning.
[20:30] ---
    What would you two know?!
[20:32] ---
    What are you saying?!
[20:34] ---
    I do know a thing or two
    about relationships.
[20:38] ---
    You must first find out
    everything you can
[20:40] ---
    about Lady Temari's likes and dislikes…
[20:41] ---
    and come up with a careful plan.
[20:44] ---
    And you need at least
    three contingency plans:
[20:46] ---
    one for a sunny day,
    a cloudy day and a rainy day!
[20:48] ---
    Prepare small talk
    that won't bore her.
[20:51] ---
    Have at least a hundred stories
    in your arsenal.
[20:56] ---
    Hey, hey!
[20:57] ---
    That's even more of a drag
    than taking Gengo down!
[21:04] ---
    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark"
    The End
    
[22:40] ---
    The day of Naruto and Hinata's wedding
    draws near,
    
    
[22:44] ---
    but I sent everyone out
    on secret missions!
    
    
[22:47] ---
    It's to get them wedding presents,
    
    
[22:51] ---
    but it seems it's turning out
    to be surprisingly difficult.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    The secret behind this mission is…
    
    
[22:57] ---
    something I can't talk about!
    
    
[22:59] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
[23:01] ---
    “Hidden Leaf Story,
    The Perfect Day for a Wedding,
    Part 1: Naruto's Wedding”
    
    
    
[23:08] ---
    Tune in again!
