**[00:23] ---**
Why...?
**[00:29] ---**
Why don't you get it?!
**[00:38] ---**
Soon, Orochimaru's going
to take your body!
**[00:47] ---**
If it happens, it happens...
**[00:53] ---**
You're still a kid, Naruto.
**[00:58] ---**
Revenge is everything to me.
**[01:02] ---**
If I can carry out my revenge,
**[01:04] ---**
it's no concern of mine
what happens to me,
**[01:08] ---**
or to this world.
**[01:10] ---**
Put simply, neither I nor Orochimaru
can defeat Itachi right now.
**[01:18] ---**
But if I can obtain the power
to accomplish that
**[01:22] ---**
by giving my body to Orochimaru,
**[01:27] ---**
then I'll give him as much of
this life of mine as he wants.
**[03:11] ---**
*Title
*
**[03:32] ---**
The talking's over.
**[03:37] ---**
Naruto and Sakura...
**[03:39] ---**
I didn't want to do anything rough
in front of you guys...
**[03:43] ---**
but I'm going to get serious now.
**[03:47] ---**
Captain Yamato!
**[03:48] ---**
What do you mean, serious...?
**[03:53] ---**
I can't just let those
**[03:54] ---**
who left the village in the same way
as Orochimaru run loose.
**[03:59] ---**
So I'll do whatever I have to do
to haul Sasuke back to the Hidden Leaf.
**[04:05] ---**
The Hidden Leaf, huh...?
**[04:08] ---**
I've had enough of you guys...
**[04:17] ---**
It's over.
**[04:27] ---**
Orochimaru...
**[04:30] ---**
Don't bother with that Jutsu, Sasuke.
**[04:35] ---**
Let go of me...
**[04:39] ---**
Hey-hey...
**[04:42] ---**
Don't talk to
Lord Orochimaru like that...
**[04:55] ---**
I've got no reason to stop.
**[04:58] ---**
You know what the Akatsuki
are up to, don't you?
**[05:05] ---**
We want these guys from
the Hidden Leaf
**[05:07] ---**
to take care of the Akatsuki for us.
**[05:11] ---**
As many of them as possible...
**[05:15] ---**
Your revenge won't turn out well
**[05:17] ---**
if the other Akatsuki
get in the way, right?
**[05:22] ---**
That's a pathetic reason.
**[05:24] ---**
It should increase your chances of revenge,
even if only by one percent...
**[05:30] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[05:50] ---**
Let's go.
**[07:19] ---**
*Once again...*
**[07:22] ---**
*Once again...I couldn't stop him...*
**[07:27] ---**
*I'm...totally weak...*
**[08:00] ---**
Crying...
**[08:03] ---**
Crying won't bring Sasuke back home!
**[08:12] ---**
I'm here! I'll get stronger with you!
**[08:25] ---**
We've got...
close to six months left, right?
**[08:29] ---**
It goes without saying that three
are better than two.
**[08:34] ---**
Besides, I'm pretty strong myself.
**[08:56] ---**
Thanks...
**[09:03] ---**
Now then...
**[09:06] ---**
*This is just the beginning...*
**[09:34] ---**
I see...
**[09:59] ---**
Hidden Leaf Hospital
**[10:02] ---**
What did you say?!
**[10:04] ---**
Naruto and the others fought Sasuke?!
**[10:06] ---**
Yes...
**[10:07] ---**
But, their original mission was to...
**[10:11] ---**
Yes, their mission was to capture
the spy Sasori sent to Orochimaru
**[10:19] ---**
and bring him back to the Hidden Leaf,
**[10:21] ---**
and to get information about Orochimaru
and Sasuke as well.
**[10:25] ---**
But Sasori's spy, Kabuto Yakushi,
**[10:29] ---**
already had Sasori's Jutsu
broken by Orochimaru.
**[10:34] ---**
And it seems Orochimaru tried to use
this opportunity to kill Sasori,
**[10:39] ---**
not knowing that the real Sasori
was already dead...
**[10:44] ---**
Naruto made contact with Orochimaru,
**[10:46] ---**
became unable to
control his emotions...
**[10:48] ---**
and ran amuck.
**[10:52] ---**
Naruto eventually
released his fourth tail...
**[10:55] ---**
and went wild.
**[10:57] ---**
Orochimaru did battle
with the Nine-Tails Naruto.
**[11:01] ---**
Even he probably reached his limit...
**[11:04] ---**
Stabilize
It seems he tried to disappear
**[11:06] ---**
while Yamato was attempting
to control Naruto.
**[11:09] ---**
However, Yamato's clone secretly
pursued Orochimaru.
**[11:13] ---**
Finally, they found Orochimaru's hideout
and made their way in.
**[11:19] ---**
Then it seems they encountered Sasuke
and a battle ensued.
**[11:30] ---**
So...then what happened?
**[11:37] ---**
It seems Sasuke has become
significantly more powerful...
**[11:40] ---**
I hear Naruto didn't stand
a chance against him...
**[11:45] ---**
I see...
**[11:47] ---**
Well, don't get so depressed.
**[11:50] ---**
It appears Naruto wasn't able
to show his full power
**[11:52] ---**
because of damage from
the Nine-Tails Cloak.
**[11:55] ---**
And...
**[11:56] ---**
No. I'm not all that depressed,
you know.
**[12:00] ---**
I figured Sasuke would be stronger
at this point in time...
**[12:04] ---**
And...
**[12:06] ---**
Now Naruto will be more fired up
for future training
**[12:09] ---**
after having realized the difference
between Sasuke and himself.
**[12:13] ---**
Right?
**[12:16] ---**
Right.
**[12:17] ---**
Well, I guess we should be happy
they made it back safe.
**[12:31] ---**
It's fortunate that Naruto
was able to make it back safely.
**[12:35] ---**
However, although unexpected situations
are an inevitable part of missions...
**[12:40] ---**
I never thought he would end up
doing battle with Orochimaru...
**[12:45] ---**
And here, it's best to keep Naruto
in the village
**[12:47] ---**
because things like this
end up happening...
**[12:51] ---**
I don't think that hard-head
would depart from his opinions so easily.
**[13:09] ---**
So?
**[13:10] ---**
We aren't giving up!
**[13:22] ---**
Okay, I will issue
your next mission immediately.
**[13:26] ---**
Stand by at home until I contact you!
**[13:29] ---**
Right!
**[13:40] ---**
Hey, Sakura.
Let's go on a date together.
**[13:44] ---**
Have you forgotten what Lady Tsunade
said just now?
**[13:47] ---**
Huh?! What'd she say again?
**[13:50] ---**
We're supposed to stand by at home
**[13:51] ---**
until Team Kakashi's next mission
has been determined, right?!
**[13:54] ---**
What? She won't find out if
we just go out for a little while!
**[13:57] ---**
Why don't you go by yourself
if you want to go out on a date?
**[13:59] ---**
I won't be able to
go on a date by myself.
**[14:02] ---**
By the way, what about Sai's activity?
**[14:04] ---**
Yes. You were right
to be concerned, Lady Tsunade.
**[14:08] ---**
Danzo gave him a special mission.
**[14:11] ---**
A special mission?!
**[14:14] ---**
*I knew it...*
**[14:15] ---**
It seems Sai was put in charge
of undercover work,
**[14:17] ---**
dealing with potential risks
to the Hidden Leaf
**[14:20] ---**
while carrying out his mission as
**[14:23] ---**
an Anbu Black Ops member
under Danzo's direction.
**[14:26] ---**
Sai's purpose for joining us in
Team Kakashi was to bury Sasuke,
**[14:30] ---**
who is to become the new vessel
for Orochimaru,
**[14:34] ---**
the individual of most concern
to the Hidden Leaf.
**[14:39] ---**
What?!
**[14:44] ---**
I figured he was a crafty guy...
**[14:47] ---**
As would be expected of the leader
of a hard-line military faction,
**[14:50] ---**
his actions are strong-armed.
**[14:51] ---**
But our protective feelings
for the Hidden Leaf are the same, huh...?
**[14:56] ---**
Are you talking about Danzo?
**[15:00] ---**
Yes, I am...
**[15:03] ---**
Then could you hold off on
your conclusions until you see this?
**[15:12] ---**
What's this?
**[15:13] ---**
Danzo gave this to Sai as
a gift for Orochimaru
**[15:18] ---**
in order for the contact with Orochimaru
to proceed smoothly.
**[15:26] ---**
Wh-What's this?!
**[15:28] ---**
It's a list of Anbu Black Ops members!
**[15:32] ---**
*Damn it! That jerk, Danzo!*
**[15:35] ---**
*How did he get the list from
*the classified files...?*
**[15:40] ---**
Um...Lady Tsunade...
**[15:42] ---**
Shizune! Tighten security at
the classified files storehouse
**[15:45] ---**
and change the deciphering codes
for the files. Quickly!
**[15:48] ---**
Y-Yes ma'am!
**[15:50] ---**
Right now!
**[15:58] ---**
Damn it! That sly old dog...
**[16:02] ---**
He's always the crafty one!
**[16:05] ---**
At a time when the outside
of the village
**[16:07] ---**
is in an uproar with Orochimaru
and the Akatsuki...
**[16:10] ---**
I never thought I'd have to be concerned
about trouble *inside* the village...
**[16:15] ---**
Now I'll be forced to consider Sai's
earlier proposal with caution.
**[16:21] ---**
In that case...
**[16:42] ---**
I never thought you'd fail
the special mission...
**[16:45] ---**
That's very unlike you...
**[16:50] ---**
I have a favor to ask.
**[16:52] ---**
A favor, you say?
**[16:54] ---**
Yes.
**[16:56] ---**
Could you keep me in Team Kakashi
under this name for a while?
**[17:07] ---**
*That smile on his face...*
**[17:11] ---**
I've already taken that up
with Tsunade.
**[17:15] ---**
But you understand that emotions
create hate, don't you, Sai?
**[17:20] ---**
And hate creates battles.
**[17:27] ---**
*Bonds of hatred with
*my older brother...*
**[17:34] ---**
That might be so.
**[17:38] ---**
*But...*
**[17:41] ---**
*He's the person who acknowledged
*me more than anyone else.*
**[17:48] ---**
*Sasuke is my friend.*
**[17:53] ---**
*It's a special bond
*I was finally able to make.*
**[18:33] ---**
Comrade
**[18:39] ---**
*Don't you know
*what the word comrade is?*
**[18:43] ---**
*Of course, I do.
*What of it?*
**[19:12] ---**
Hey! Sai!
**[19:23] ---**
We're having a meeting about
our next mission!
**[19:42] ---**
Hurry up, man!
**[19:43] ---**
Right, I'm coming.
**[21:40] ---**
I heard about everything from Yamato.
**[21:42] ---**
And I heard about Sasuke, too.
**[21:43] ---**
We don't have time.
**[21:45] ---**
And yet, we can't bring Sasuke back
with our power right now.
**[21:48] ---**
The speed of Sasuke's development
was extraordinary.
**[21:51] ---**
According to Lady Tsunade,
**[21:52] ---**
there's a possibility they're using
Forbidden Jutsu and perhaps drugs.
**[21:55] ---**
Then we just have to rapidly
get more powerful.
**[21:58] ---**
But how do we do that...?
**[22:00] ---**
Well, I wasn't just lying here
not thinking about anything.
**[22:05] ---**
Next time: "Nightmare"
