[00:01] ---
    This is not good.
[00:32] ---
    It's over...
[00:35] ---
    Just what you'd expect
    from Lord Kazekage!
[00:37] ---
    Yeah. This village will be safe
[00:39] ---
    as long as we have
    Lord Kazekage!
[00:50] ---
    Hold on!
[03:21] ---
    This sand's such
    a pain in the neck.
[03:29] ---
    You fool...!
[03:32] ---
    Do you really think
[03:34] ---
    you can get away
    from Gaara's sand?!
[03:43] ---
    The Kazekage Stands Tall!
    
    
    

[03:44] ---
    I never thought this would be
    my reason for losing...
    
    
    
[03:52] ---
    I should've just gone ahead
    and finished the book...
[03:57] ---
    But how can you even
    read such a boring book?!
[04:01] ---
    Huh?
[04:02] ---
    The Pervy Sage loaned it to me,
[04:05] ---
    but it was so boring
    I didn't even make it ten pages.
[04:09] ---
    So of course, I don't know
    how the book ends.
[04:17] ---
    Even without Naruto knowing
    the ending of the book...
[04:19] ---
    we figured you'd respond
    if we mentioned the name,
[04:22] ---
    "Make-Out Tactics."
[04:25] ---
    Pretty good strategy, huh?
[04:29] ---
    You two certainly showed me
    some growth.
[04:36] ---
    Master!
[04:38] ---
    Kakashi, do you have
    something to say?
[04:41] ---
    Well, they did a great job
    taking the bells away from me, so...
[04:45] ---
    Yes.
[04:49] ---
    What're you talking about?
[04:51] ---
    We're talking about
    your status for the future.
[04:56] ---
    Our status...?
[04:58] ---
    - Naruto Uzumaki!
    - Huh?
[05:00] ---
    Answer me.
[05:01] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[05:03] ---
    Sakura Haruno!
[05:04] ---
    Yes!
[05:09] ---
    The two of you and...
[05:10] ---
    Kakashi Hatake...
[05:12] ---
    The three of you shall
    form Team Kakashi!
[05:18] ---
    Team Kakashi...
[05:19] ---
    S-Say, what does that mean?
[05:24] ---
    The two of you will form
    a team with me
[05:27] ---
    and we'll carry out
    missions together.
[05:31] ---
    That's what this means.
[05:35] ---
    It's not like the old days.
[05:36] ---
    We're no longer teacher
    and students.
[05:39] ---
    We will work together as
    equal Leaf Shinobi. Got it?
[05:44] ---
    Sure! I got it!
[05:56] ---
    Kankuro!
[05:59] ---
    Is Lord Gaara fighting right now?!
    Where is he?
[06:02] ---
    Yeah.
[06:04] ---
    He's up there...
[06:12] ---
    Gaara...
[07:05] ---
    Sand Coffin...
[07:12] ---
    He did it...
[07:13] ---
    - He did it!
    - Yeah!
[07:16] ---
    Lord Kazekage is amazing!
[07:43] ---
    Did he get away...?!
[07:44] ---
    That guy sure is lucky...!
[07:49] ---
    Not bad.
[07:52] ---
    I get it.
[07:53] ---
    The sand he used to crush
    my hand

[07:55] ---
    is much faster and more powerful
[07:58] ---
     than ordinary sand taken
    from the desert...

[08:07] ---
    According to our information...
[08:09] ---
    He always carries with him
    a fixed amount of sand...

[08:13] ---
    In other words,
[08:14] ---
    only that sand has been...
    specially created

[08:17] ---
    with a large amount
    of Chakra built up inside...

[08:22] ---
    That's the sand he uses
    for quick defense...

[08:25] ---
    as well instant attacks.
[08:30] ---
    What did they call it again...?
[08:36] ---
    I remember now!
[08:39] ---
    It's the "Ultimate Defense"
[08:41] ---
    That's the "Ultimate Defense" sand...
[08:48] ---
    In other words,
[08:49] ---
    the sand from that hole is
    what crushed my arm...

[09:00] ---
    I've only got a little bit
    of clay left...

[09:16] ---
    I underestimated him...
[09:18] ---
    What you'd call
    "not prepared enough."
[09:21] ---
    This is just as
    the good man Sasori said...
[09:25] ---
    Will just that bag be enough?
[09:28] ---
    Our opponent will be
    using the Jinchuriki...

[09:32] ---
    I've only enough left for
    one more homing-type...

[09:37] ---
    and my specialty as well.
[09:49] ---
    I think...
[09:51] ---
    I'll destroy this village, after all.
[10:02] ---
    For crying out loud...
[10:08] ---
    How long is that Deidara going to
    make me wait?
[10:13] ---
    I told him I don't like waiting...
[10:27] ---
    Lord Kazekage...
[10:39] ---
    Black clothing and
    a red cloud pattern...!
[10:42] ---
    Judging from that appearance,
[10:43] ---
    the enemy Lord Kazekage
    is fighting against
[10:45] ---
    is likely a member of the organization
    called the "Akatsuki."
[10:48] ---
    I knew it.
[10:53] ---
    Kankuro.
[10:54] ---
    What is it?
[11:32] ---
    Gaara's even using
    his "Ultimate Defense" sand
[11:35] ---
    in this fight.
[11:36] ---
    I think it's safe to assume
    the enemy is a formidable one.
[11:43] ---
    For the time being,
[11:45] ---
    we need to consider that
    Gaara could lose control.
[11:48] ---
    We need to be ready
    in case Shukaku appears.
[11:52] ---
    The villagers will be in danger.
[11:56] ---
    That won't happen anymore.
[12:06] ---
    Gaara will not harm
    the people of this village.
[12:11] ---
    Never!
[12:17] ---
    Gaara, give it up.
[12:21] ---
    I don't want to say this,
[12:29] ---
    but you're nothing but
    a frightening weapon to the village...
[12:39] ---
    It'll just be a struggle
    for you
[12:41] ---
    to join a regular unit
    at this point.
[12:45] ---
    The superiors don't think
    well of you.
[12:49] ---
    And a majority of the village
    is scared of you.
[12:57] ---
    I know that...
[13:02] ---
    I know that...
[13:03] ---
    but I will be overcome
    with an even greater suffering
[13:06] ---
    if I just wait around...
[13:10] ---
    I just have to work hard and
    carve out a future for myself.
[13:14] ---
    And I must not run away
    from my path of solitude.
[13:18] ---
    If I do that, someday...
[13:27] ---
    Someday...I can be like him...
[13:31] ---
    So as a Sand Shinobi,
[13:33] ---
    I will strive to become
    the Kazekage.
[13:36] ---
    To live...bonded with this village.
[13:42] ---
    Gaara...
[13:45] ---
    I want to work hard...
    and be acknowledged by others.
[13:53] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki made
    me believe that...
[13:58] ---
    Having bonds with others...
[14:01] ---
    I only knew hate
    and malice up until now.
[14:08] ---
    But now, there's something
    I understand about those bonds.
[14:14] ---
    He went so far to tell me about.
[14:19] ---
    I understand that pain,
    sadness...and happiness...
[14:23] ---
    can be shared with others.
[14:37] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki...
[14:39] ---
    I learned that through fighting
    and getting to know him.
[14:46] ---
    He knew of the same pain
    as me.
[14:49] ---
    And he taught me that I could
    change the path of my life.
[14:56] ---
    Someday, I want to feel needed
    by someone.
[15:01] ---
    Not as a frightening weapon...
[15:08] ---
    but as the Kazekage
    of the Hidden Sand Village.
[15:19] ---
    There are people who need you.
[15:23] ---
    You're the Kazekage
    of the Hidden Sand!

[15:29] ---
    Lord Gaara!
[15:31] ---
    Lord Kazekage!
    Hang in there!
[15:36] ---
    Gee, you guys sure got strong.
[15:39] ---
    I never thought you'd really
    be able to get the bells...
[15:44] ---
    I just might've surpassed you,
    Kakashi Sensei.
[15:46] ---
    Why're you talking all big?!
[15:50] ---
    Well, but I'm still pretty young,
    you see...
[15:55] ---
    The other day, I developed
    an incredible new Jutsu...
[15:59] ---
    And it's pretty incredible, you see...
[16:02] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[16:03] ---
    I haven't had any Ichiraku ramen
    since I got back!
[16:07] ---
    Oh, I'm also pretty hungry
[16:08] ---
    from all that training exercise
    since yesterday.
[16:12] ---
    All right! Let's make a beeline
    for Ichiraku Ramen!
[16:14] ---
    Right!
[16:19] ---
    They used to be so cute
    and react to everything back in the day...

[16:29] ---
    As promised,
    I leave Naruto in your care.
[16:34] ---
    It's my first Ichiraku ramen in ages!
[16:36] ---
    It'll be Kakashi Sensei's treat!
[16:38] ---
    - Treat! Treat!
    - Treat! Treat!
[16:40] ---
    The actions of the Akatsuki
    are gaining momentum...
[16:45] ---
    I'm heading off to gather information.
[16:52] ---
    See you around.
[16:54] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[16:56] ---
    Huh?
[16:57] ---
    It's been settled that
[16:59] ---
    you're going to treat us
    to some ramen!
[17:02] ---
    Hurry up!
[17:04] ---
    Sorry, guys!
[17:06] ---
    I have to create and turn in
    the unit list for the new team!
[17:11] ---
    See you.
[17:13] ---
    I'm gone.
[17:15] ---
    Oh! He ran away!
[17:17] ---
    He said something about a unit list...
[17:19] ---
    but he's probably just wondering
    what happens next in...his book...
[17:23] ---
    That means...
[17:26] ---
    Then how about we go
    on a date, just the two of us?
[17:29] ---
    That's fine. But you're treating.
[17:31] ---
    Oh...
[17:38] ---
    You could at least pay
    for half of the ramen...
[17:41] ---
    No way!
[17:46] ---
    Convene all members
    for an emergency meeting!
[17:48] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:50] ---
    You secure the reservoir.
    Take two units with you!
[17:53] ---
    Yes, sir.
[17:54] ---
    Seal off the roads in sector A!
[17:56] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:57] ---
    We must not assume
    there's only one enemy!
[17:59] ---
    No matter what happens,
    maintain preparations for battle.
[18:01] ---
    We must be ready to respond!
[18:04] ---
    Medical Team!
[18:05] ---
    Set up a barrier and lead
    all villagers inside! Hurry!
[18:10] ---
    There must not be even one casualty!
    Is that clear?!
[18:23] ---
    We'll provide full support for Gaara...
    No...for Lord Kazekage!
[18:31] ---
    Gaara...
[18:40] ---
    Interference from below really
    puts a damper on things...
[18:44] ---
    And besides...
[18:54] ---
    I'm tired of looking at
    your expressionless face.
[19:20] ---
    It's a doll
[19:21] ---
    molded from detonating clay
    that's got Chakra

[19:23] ---
    and clay eaten by my palm
    mixed together...

[19:27] ---
    This specialty of mine...
[19:29] ---
    has C3 Chakra,
    my most powerful Chakra,

[19:31] ---
    built up inside.
[19:33] ---
    The explosive power is
    an exquisite work of art

[19:35] ---
     that I'm very proud of!
[19:37] ---
    - What's that? Hey!
    - Yeah, what the heck is it?
[19:42] ---
    This is not good! Get back!
[19:45] ---
    You're too late.
[21:40] ---
    Next time, I will finally develop
    an ultra cool Jutsu!
[21:44] ---
    The breathtaking arc begins
[21:46] ---
    as I take down
    the Akatsuki organization!
[21:49] ---
    What sort of nonsense are
    you coming up with, you idiot!
[21:52] ---
    Oh, Sakura...
[21:53] ---
    All you'll do is slurp on
    some ramen noodles at the corner
[21:55] ---
    after being dumped by me!
[21:56] ---
    Keep making stuff up,
    and you'll get caught by the Police Force!
[21:59] ---
    But I want some of
    the spotlight too!
[22:00] ---
    Shut up, Cha!
[22:03] ---
    Next time: "Mission Cleared"
