[01:27] ---
    I sure was young...
    back then...
[01:37] ---
    *Good work...
    on the Feudal Lord escort.
[01:46] ---
    What's your beef?!
[01:51] ---
    *I protected the king, the Feudal Lord
    just as you told me to do!
[01:56] ---
    *Why don't you even attempt
    to acknowledge me?!
[02:01] ---
    King...huh...?
[02:03] ---
    *How about acknowledging me
    at least a little bit, Dad?!
[02:07] ---
    You don't understand...
[02:10] ---
    *how difficult and important a battle
    to protect the king is.
[02:16] ---
    I understand that people died.
[02:19] ---
    *But sacrifice comes with
    a Shinobi mission.
[02:24] ---
    *You can't possibly
    understand now...
[02:28] ---
    *the true significance of
    protecting the king.
[02:34] ---
    *You just don't want to
    acknowledge me!
[02:50] ---
    Now I get the feeling...
[02:52] ---
    I kind of understand what
    you were talking about.
[02:57] ---
    I'm sorry I left the Hidden Leaf...
    and just did whatever I wanted.
[03:07] ---
    I have no regrets, though.
[03:18] ---
    Now I feel like it wasn't so bad
    being born into the Sarutobi Clan.
[03:25] ---
    You properly fulfilled your duty
    as leader of the village...
[03:36] ---
    You were a cool dad...
[05:13] ---
    *The Quietly
    Approaching Threat
    
    

[05:23] ---
    Heave ho, heave ho... heave ho...
[05:26] ---
    Carrying lumber is a mission, too!
[05:28] ---
    Let's do our best to carry it.
    Heave ho...
[05:32] ---
    Whoa!
[05:33] ---
    Wh-What's the matter?
[05:38] ---
    L-Let's take a little break.
[05:40] ---
    We're not used to this kind of work.
[05:45] ---
    You guys are a sorry bunch.
[05:48] ---
    The village has been saved and
    the Fifth Hokage was unharmed.
[05:51] ---
    But that was because of the great efforts
    by Brother Naruto and the others...
[05:57] ---
    We have to do our best with
    whatever we can do,
[06:00] ---
    so we'll also be able to
    support the village!
[06:03] ---
    Well said.
[06:06] ---
    You guys are the ones who will support
    the Hidden Leaf in the next generation.
[06:09] ---
    And it seems Naruto played a huge role
    in the earlier incident.
[06:13] ---
    Iruka Sensei.
[06:16] ---
    I'm happy to
    have such amazing students.
[06:23] ---
    Konohamaru. I'm okay now.
[06:27] ---
    If we all work together,
    we'll be okay no matter what happens.
[06:41] ---
    Next!
[06:44] ---
    Next!
[06:48] ---
    - Next!
    - Yes!
[06:51] ---
    Next! Next! Next!
[06:54] ---
    Next!
[06:56] ---
    You're too slow! Next! Next, next!
[07:00] ---
    Next!
[07:02] ---
    What's the matter?!
    Where are the next documents?!
[07:04] ---
    Oh, uh...that's it...
    You're finished!
[07:09] ---
    I see.
[07:13] ---
    Th-This is a first, isn't it?
[07:16] ---
    You don't usually take your work
    this seriously, Lady Tsunade.
[07:19] ---
    You could say that.
[07:24] ---
    It seems there was quite the commotion
    over just a couple of thieves...
[07:29] ---
    That's pathetic, Princess Tsunade.
[07:33] ---
    Just from this...
[07:34] ---
    the Hidden Leaf Village will turn
    into a laughingstock
[07:38] ---
    amongst the surrounding lands
    and the Feudal Lord.
[07:41] ---
    It seems your orders
    are slow in coming
[07:45] ---
    and then become forestalled!
[07:49] ---
    Your slow decision-making
    endangers the village.
[07:53] ---
    It's all your responsibility as the Hokage.
    Bear this firmly in mind!
[07:58] ---
    *Those old geezers
    and their big mouths...
[08:02] ---
    *Who knows what they'll say if
    unfinished work continues to stack up...
[08:07] ---
    Damn it!
[08:09] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[08:10] ---
    The report from the one
[08:12] ---
    who was sent to contact
    Lord Jiraiya has arrived.
[08:17] ---
    I see. So he's back...
[08:32] ---
    You got hospitalized again because
    you tried to act cool and snuck out
[08:36] ---
    even though your injury hasn't healed yet.
[08:41] ---
    It says in this book that the bonds
    of friendship grow deeper
[08:43] ---
    if you rush to a friend who's in a jam...
[08:47] ---
    That's a comic book, right?
    You're so random these days.
[08:54] ---
    Here...
[08:57] ---
    What?
[08:58] ---
    It seems women who like
    you will feed you.
[09:04] ---
    Well, it's not like
    I'm testing you or anything...
[09:08] ---
    Look you...
[09:09] ---
    Sakura.
[09:12] ---
    S-Sakura...
    I-I can't eat anymore...
[09:18] ---
    Oh, but if you insist I eat, then...
[09:23] ---
    Eat until you die!
[09:27] ---
    Yo! Hm?
[09:30] ---
    I-I can't breathe...
[09:32] ---
    Sakura fed Naruto an apple...
[09:36] ---
    Which means...
[09:37] ---
    Oh, for crying out loud!
[09:39] ---
    Why can't I have someone normal
    on my team?!
[09:42] ---
    Huh?
[09:43] ---
    Huh?
[09:44] ---
    What happened?
[09:54] ---
    *Attacks by what is suspected to be
    the same two-man Shinobi team
[09:57] ---
    *in seven locations in five
    neighboring lands have been verified.
[10:01] ---
    *Although they have not yet succeeded
    in invading the Land of Fire,
[10:04] ---
    *judging from their line of action,
    it's only a matter of time...
[10:10] ---
    Lady Tsunade?
[10:14] ---
    *So the Akatsuki Organization
    has gone into action.
[10:32] ---
    Let's do this.
[10:33] ---
    Hold it.
[10:35] ---
    Before doing that...
[10:36] ---
    I must pray to my god.
[10:43] ---
    You're always
    such a pain in the neck.
[10:46] ---
    It's a pain
    in the neck for me, too.
[10:49] ---
    But the commandments are strict,
    so I have no choice, do I?!
[11:01] ---
    You probably think
    you've got me cornered...
[11:05] ---
    But you don't.
[11:07] ---
    I lured you guys here, you see!
[11:23] ---
    Now that I know
    you are with the Akatsuki,
[11:25] ---
    I cannot let you escape.
[11:29] ---
    Oh, man...
    We're trapped, Kakuzu...
[11:33] ---
    No problem.
    Actually, this is favorable for us.
[11:37] ---
    In the name of Yugito Ni 'i
    of the Hidden Clouds...
[11:41] ---
    I'll kill you!
[11:42] ---
    Huh...? What?
[11:44] ---
    What's up with that,
    "I'll kill you," stuff?
[11:46] ---
    When people show me all
    that enthusiasm and stuff...
[11:50] ---
    I start to get irritated.
[11:52] ---
    And when I'm irritated,
    I become enraged.
[11:55] ---
    And when I become enraged...
[11:57] ---
    Shut up, Hidan.
[11:59] ---
    Okay. okay...
[12:01] ---
    But you know,
    when I become enraged,
[12:04] ---
    I start feeling like,
[12:05] ---
    "I don't care about our objective.
    I just want to smash everything."
[12:09] ---
    Knock it off, Hidan.
    The objective is absolute.
[12:13] ---
    This mission doesn't go along
    with my religion in the first place.
[12:17] ---
    The motto of the Jashin religion
    is mass slaughter.
[12:21] ---
    Leaving people alive goes
    against the commandments.
[12:25] ---
    From the outset,
[12:26] ---
    I'm not inclined
    to take part in a mission
[12:28] ---
    that breaks
    the commandments.
[12:30] ---
    I may not look it,
    but I'm quite devout!
[12:34] ---
    So not being able to kill
    is a pain in the neck.
[12:38] ---
    So how about we settle this
    by talking things over?
[12:42] ---
    Talking things over, you say?
[12:46] ---
    What's up with this guy?
[12:54] ---
    Why don't you
    just come quietly?
[13:03] ---
    Stop messing around!
[13:05] ---
    Huh...? Looks like that's a no.
[13:07] ---
    Are you an idiot?
[13:29] ---
    Come on. Are you kidding me?
[13:36] ---
    What's up with this Jinchuriki?
[13:39] ---
    She's totally morphed into a Tailed Beast.
[13:46] ---
    Oh man...
[13:50] ---
    Uh-oh!
[14:06] ---
    Hot!
[14:07] ---
    Don't cats have sensitive tongues
    for hot stuff?
[14:13] ---
    So this is the Two-Tails monster cat
    known as the wraith...
[14:17] ---
    And I'm a rat in a cage, no less.
[14:22] ---
    This is not amusing...
[14:26] ---
    Oh-ho.
[14:28] ---
    So you made a great showing
    while I was gone, huh?
[14:31] ---
    Where the heck were you,
    Kakashi Sensei?
[14:34] ---
    Oh...nowhere special.
[14:38] ---
    Asuma Sensei.
[14:41] ---
    I knew you'd be here.
[14:43] ---
    Kakashi, got a minute?
[14:46] ---
    I want to talk to you...
[14:49] ---
    Naruto, Sai...
    Here, a get well gift!
[14:52] ---
    Yikes!
[14:54] ---
    I've had enough apples...
[15:00] ---
    I hear you checked out what
    was happening outside...
[15:04] ---
    You could say that...
[15:15] ---
    What a nice day.
[15:17] ---
    Hm? Yeah...it is.
[15:21] ---
    Naruto and Sakura are
    coming along very well.
[15:25] ---
    And so are Shikamaru,
    Choji and Ino...
[15:29] ---
    The next generation is
    growing up quickly.
[15:32] ---
    They'll overtake us just like that...
[15:35] ---
    Come on.
    I still won't be giving in to them.
[15:42] ---
    But this is something the Hidden Leaf
    should be very pleased about.
[15:49] ---
    So...
[15:51] ---
    What did you want to talk about?
[15:52] ---
    Hm? Oh, as it happens...
[15:58] ---
    There you are...
    I finally found you.
[16:01] ---
    Kurenai...
    Did you need something?
[16:04] ---
    I heard Asuma was here, you see...
[16:08] ---
    No kidding...?
[16:11] ---
    So, Asuma...
    What did you want to talk about?
[16:16] ---
    Uh, I'll tell you later... Sorry.
[16:28] ---
    Now I really want to know...
[16:35] ---
    What're you doing, Naruto?
[16:37] ---
    I don't have the time to be
    lying around here.
[16:41] ---
    I need to get back to my training...
[16:43] ---
    That being said, you're still...
[16:50] ---
    I'm still too weak.
[16:54] ---
    That's why...
[16:56] ---
    That's exactly why...
[16:58] ---
    I have to get stronger
    to get power that won't hurt everyone...
[17:01] ---
    Power that will protect everyone.
[17:03] ---
    That's why I have to get stronger.
[17:08] ---
    Naruto...
[17:10] ---
    Well, hold your horses...
[17:14] ---
    Right now, your training is
    to heal those wounds.
[17:17] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[17:19] ---
    And let me make this clear to you,
    in particular, Naruto...
[17:22] ---
    Huh?
[17:24] ---
    If you leave the hospital,
    what awaits is training so severe
[17:27] ---
    you'll wish you'd stayed
    in the hospital longer.
[17:29] ---
    So be prepared for that!
[17:32] ---
    R-Right...!
[17:34] ---
    I-I understand...
[17:36] ---
    *Okay...
    Now he won't push things too far.
[17:41] ---
    Sakura...
[17:42] ---
    Y-Yes...?!
[17:43] ---
    I've got something to take care of.
    So I leave the rest to you.
[17:47] ---
    What...?
[17:48] ---
    Make sure you don't let him
    overdo things...
[17:51] ---
    Bye!
[17:56] ---
    Oh man, isn't he slick!
[18:03] ---
    I read the report.
[18:05] ---
    Does it look like Naruto will be able
    to learn a new Jutsu?
[18:13] ---
    How about it?
[18:16] ---
    I don't know.
[18:17] ---
    No way.
[18:19] ---
    I'm not sure...
[18:22] ---
    But he can probably do it...
[18:24] ---
    That new training approach
    is yielding results, after all.
[18:27] ---
    And more importantly...
[18:30] ---
    He has a clear objective.
[18:35] ---
    Sasuke...huh?
[19:12] ---
    It's already been thirty minutes.
    Aren't you done yet, Hidan?
[19:16] ---
    Shut up!
    Don't interfere with the ritual!
[19:20] ---
    Ouch...
[19:23] ---
    Can't you skip some of that
[19:26] ---
    perverse praying
    you do each and every time?
[19:29] ---
    Let's get right to the next one.
[19:31] ---
    This is a pain in the neck for me too.
[19:33] ---
    But I have no choice
    but to follow the commandments.
[19:36] ---
    And what do you mean by skip?!
[19:39] ---
    That's blasphemy against God!
[19:44] ---
    One more to go for our mission.
[19:51] ---
    One by one...
[19:55] ---
    Next is the Land of Fire.
[21:38] ---
    For crying out loud.
[21:39] ---
    That Naruto is already starting his training,
    even though he's still on the mend.
[21:43] ---
    Knowing who he is,
    there's no doubt he'll get reckless.
[21:46] ---
    Getting stronger through
    sheer determination
[21:48] ---
    just isn't done anymore.
[21:50] ---
    And excessive training could
    also have a reverse effect.
[21:53] ---
    Not only that, he also has
    the physical idiosyncrasy
[21:54] ---
    that allows him to work much harder
    than other people.
[21:57] ---
    The least I can do is help him
    in whatever way I can.
[22:02] ---
    Next time:
    "Akatsuki's Invasion"
