[00:17] ---
    No, it's not them.
[00:19] ---
    Okay... Let's go!
[00:49] ---
    Scoundrels!
[00:54] ---
    This is a problem, old guys.
[00:57] ---
    You should have received
    a communication
[00:58] ---
    from the Land of Fire
    about the temporary curfew.
[01:03] ---
    We thought we could be
    of use somehow.
[01:07] ---
    We won't be giving in
    to you youngsters!
[01:15] ---
    That was a surprise.
[01:17] ---
    Yeah...
[02:49] ---
    The Old Monk's Prayer
    
    

[02:59] ---
    Using the twenty platoons,
[03:01] ---
    we are currently laying out a search net
    with a radius of 150 kilometers
[03:04] ---
    around the border and
    the Temple of Fire.
[03:08] ---
    Even an ant couldn't crawl out.
[03:14] ---
    Excuse me.
[03:15] ---
    We have received a report
    from Platoon Three.
[03:18] ---
    No sign of the Akatsuki
    in border areas C and E.
[03:23] ---
    No sign, huh?!
[03:25] ---
    Reporting!
[03:26] ---
    Areas F and G are normal!
[03:29] ---
    The Akatsuki still have not been found!
[03:32] ---
    Then...
[03:35] ---
    Why haven't they been found?
[03:38] ---
    Have we heard from Team Asuma
    who went to the Temple of Fire?
[03:40] ---
    No report from them yet.
[03:51] ---
    Chiriku...
[04:03] ---
    What's this...?
[04:11] ---
    You are from
    the Hidden Leaf Village, right?
[04:14] ---
    Yes.
[04:16] ---
    We were contacted by the monk
    who is in your care.
[04:20] ---
    I am the head monk
    of the Temple of Fire.
[04:25] ---
    I had been out of
    the temple for a while.
[04:28] ---
    When I heard about
    what happened here...
[04:31] ---
    I rushed back as quickly
    as I could, but...
[04:34] ---
    It was a terrible sight...
[04:46] ---
    We asked neighboring temples
    for help recovering the remains.
[04:53] ---
    This is awful.
[04:56] ---
    Where's Chiriku?
[05:00] ---
    Actually...we have been unable
    to find Lord Chiriku's remains.
[05:06] ---
    Umm... Captain Asuma.
[05:10] ---
    I don't really want to bring this up...
[05:13] ---
    But Chiriku has a 30 million ryo
    bounty on his head
[05:16] ---
    on the black market.
[05:18] ---
    A bounty...
[05:20] ---
    If those guys from the Akatsuki
    know about the bounty...
[05:24] ---
    Yeah...
[05:25] ---
    A collection office, huh?
[05:27] ---
    So that basically means the enemy
    is carrying the body, right?
[05:32] ---
    Izumo, where is the collection office?
[05:35] ---
    Including the closest one,
    there are five locations in total.
[05:45] ---
    Now the nearby teams can rush right
    to the other four exchange point locations.
[05:49] ---
    All right, let's hurry.
[05:51] ---
    Please wait a moment,
    Lord Asuma Sarutobi.
[05:56] ---
    Please allow me to say a prayer
    for all of you who are about to fight.
[06:04] ---
    Please...
[06:08] ---
    Okay.
[06:26] ---
    Chiriku...
[07:10] ---
    Chiriku...
[07:13] ---
    *Now I'm the only member of
    the Guardian Shinobi Twelve left, huh...?
[07:18] ---
    *I wanted to talk the night away
    with you one more time.
[07:23] ---
    *There were things I wanted
    to talk to you about.
[07:26] ---
    And things I wanted you to hear...
[07:43] ---
    Please be safe.
[07:46] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:48] ---
    At the very least...
    I'll get back Chiriku's remains.
[07:52] ---
    Please don't push things too far.
[07:57] ---
    You have a bounty on your head
    for being a former member
[08:01] ---
    of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve...
    just like Chiriku.
[08:05] ---
    Please be careful.
[08:08] ---
    You don't need to worry!
[08:12] ---
    The bounty on my head is
    five million ryo more than Chiriku's.
[08:21] ---
    *The only thing to worry about
    with Asuma
[08:23] ---
    is that he smokes too much.
[08:46] ---
    I wonder what happened
    with the training.
[08:48] ---
    And here I went to the trouble
    of making and bringing more food pills.
[08:53] ---
    Nobody's here, huh?
[08:56] ---
    Sai.
[08:58] ---
    Did you come to check
    on Naruto, too?
[09:01] ---
    No, I was just taking
    a walk to make sure
[09:04] ---
    I didn't get out of shape
    due to my injury.
[09:07] ---
    Oh, at a time like this...
[09:10] ---
    Actually, that's exactly right.
[09:12] ---
    Yes, it's good to be honest.
[09:15] ---
    Was Naruto's training...suspended?
[09:18] ---
    He probably just went off
    somewhere to unwind.
[09:22] ---
    His body and mind won't hold up
[09:24] ---
    if he continues tough
    special training like that.
[09:28] ---
    Ramen... Ichiraku ramen...
[09:32] ---
    Yeah-yeah, I know.
    Walk just a little while longer.
[09:36] ---
    I know.
    You should have one of these, too!
[09:41] ---
    What is this...? A mud ball?
[09:44] ---
    How rude. This is one of
    my special homemade food pills!
[09:47] ---
    It's extra special!
[09:51] ---
    Special...?
[09:52] ---
    I suppose it's more like medicine
    than a food pill.
[09:56] ---
    It's filled with nutritious ingredients
    mixed with fast-acting digestive agents,
[10:00] ---
    all of which I hand-picked and rolled up
    into a ball packed with energy!
[10:04] ---
    It works really well!
[10:06] ---
    And it might even add
    some healthy color to that pale skin
[10:11] ---
    while it helps you recover!
[10:13] ---
    They say good medicine
    tastes bitter,
[10:16] ---
    so the food pills might taste
    a little strange.
[10:18] ---
    But when you consider
    its merits after consumption,
[10:20] ---
    little details like that will be of no...huh?
[10:26] ---
    Sai...?
[10:30] ---
    Thank you for the pill. - Sai.
[10:34] ---
    Oh... I feel dizzy...
[10:37] ---
    This smell and taste are
    going to make me sick
[10:41] ---
    before the medicine can work...
[10:46] ---
    T-Tonkotsu...
[10:48] ---
    Look, we're here...
[10:51] ---
    Hello.
[10:52] ---
    Welcome!
[10:57] ---
    Oh...hi.
[11:01] ---
    Old man, I'll take an extra-large
    tonkotsu miso with pork slices...
[11:05] ---
    on the double.
[11:07] ---
    Here!
    We have a new menu now!
[11:10] ---
    I want...an extra-large
    tonkotsu miso with pork slices...
[11:14] ---
    and extra-firm noodles.
[11:16] ---
    Hey! Look at the menu!
[11:18] ---
    Sorry, Naruto.
[11:20] ---
    We've made some big changes
    to the menu as of today.
[11:24] ---
    We now serve tsukemen!
[11:26] ---
    I see...
[11:28] ---
    Then, I'll have an extra-large
    tonkotsu miso with pork slices...
[11:31] ---
    and extra red pickled ginger...
[11:33] ---
    I told you, we don't serve
    ramen anymore!
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:38] ---
    SPECIAL
    ICHIRAKU TSUKEMEN
[11:45] ---
    So that means...
    now you specialize in tsukemen?
[11:49] ---
    My daughter Ayame went out for
    noodle-making training for a while.
[11:53] ---
    And when she came back she said,
    "Dad, the age of tsukemen is here!
[11:57] ---
    We should explore
    Ichiraku's new potential!"
[12:00] ---
    She gives me this smart-aleck advice,
    you see...
[12:05] ---
    The tastes and preferences
    of our customers change
[12:07] ---
    along with the times!
[12:08] ---
    Ichiraku will change so as
    not to fall behind the times!
[12:13] ---
    What the heck are you doing?
[12:15] ---
    And here I was looking forward to...
    tonkotsu miso with pork slices.
[12:19] ---
    Well, it's fine, isn't it?
[12:21] ---
    Tsukemen is pretty much
    like ramen anyway, right?
[12:23] ---
    No, it's not.
[12:24] ---
    As with soba noodles,
[12:26] ---
    you dip tsukemen noodles
    in sauce before eating them.
[12:29] ---
    It's the same thing in the end, right?
[12:31] ---
    The concept is different.
[12:33] ---
    That's right, that's right!
[12:34] ---
    Ramen is different from tsukemen!
    I want to eat ramen!
[12:39] ---
    We've only prepared tsukemen,
    so ramen is out of the question.
[12:43] ---
    But if you tweak the soup a little
[12:44] ---
    you could switch it
    back to ramen, right?
[12:46] ---
    So you're satisfied with
    phony ramen like that?!
[12:49] ---
    Is that all your love for tonkotsu miso
    with pork slices amounts to?!
[12:53] ---
    No, it's not like that, but...
[13:00] ---
    Getting all worked up...
    made me even hungrier.
[13:04] ---
    I don't...care anymore...
    Just give me some tsukemen...
[13:09] ---
    Sure! Three orders of tsukemen!
[13:10] ---
    Right! Three orders of tsukemen!
[13:16] ---
    There you go!
[13:18] ---
    All right!
[13:20] ---
    Just a minute!
[13:22] ---
    Huh?
[13:23] ---
    The noodles are just
    a tad undercooked.
[13:26] ---
    Boil them for one extra minute!
[13:28] ---
    Really?
[13:29] ---
    And check the temperature
    of the hot water!
[13:31] ---
    -Right!
    -You're going to make them again?
[13:38] ---
    Here you go!
    Ichiraku tsukemen!
[13:40] ---
    Ooh! Finally!
[13:43] ---
    Huh? Where's the soup?
[13:44] ---
    It might be a little strong.
[13:46] ---
    The tsukemen that was popular
    in Yugao Village
[13:48] ---
    was a little lighter.
[13:50] ---
    Let's make the soup again!
[13:52] ---
    Right!
[13:53] ---
    What?!
[13:54] ---
    The first taste is the key!
[13:55] ---
    We must lavish our customers
    with the perfect flavor!
[13:58] ---
    That's the spirit, Ayame!
    Show me the results of your training!
[14:03] ---
    Ramen-chan...
[14:05] ---
    Here you go!
    Ichiraku's original tsukemen!
[14:09] ---
    This time it's perfect!
[14:12] ---
    Finally...
[14:15] ---
    O-Old man... Can I get some pork slices
    and pickled bamboo shoots...
[14:18] ---
    and some fish cake...toppings...?
[14:22] ---
    Uh, okay. Sure.
[14:28] ---
    What're you doing, Naruto?!
[14:31] ---
    It's ramen if I eat it like this!
[14:33] ---
    That's tsukemen!
    You can't eat it like that--!
[14:35] ---
    Ayame... You're forgetting the most
    important thing about a restaurant.
[14:42] ---
    Instead of getting all caught up
    in the little details,
[14:45] ---
    it's more important for
    the customer to be satisfied, right?
[14:48] ---
    That's why I put my heart and soul
    into making this tsukemen.
[14:53] ---
    It's a restaurant's responsibility to use
    the best ingredients and preparation,
[14:56] ---
    and to advise the customer on
    how to best enjoy them.
[15:03] ---
    But I want to eat ramen!
[15:06] ---
    Save it for after you've tried some
    of the tsukemen.
[15:08] ---
    You'll never selfishly
    ask for ramen ever again!
[15:11] ---
    -Thank you.
    -Selfish? It's selfish for a restaurant
[15:13] ---
    -Tsukemen is lighter than ramen.
    -to make choices for the customer!

[15:16] ---
    -This might be a little more to my taste.
    -Only serving tsukemen means

[15:18] ---
    we have absolute confidence!
[15:19] ---
    Maybe I'm getting old.
[15:21] ---
    -My shoulders get really stiff
    -If you've got so much confidence,

[15:22] ---
    -when I do something I'm not used to.
    -then why does it take you so long?!

[15:24] ---
    -Maybe I'll hire some energetic youngster
    -What's wrong with a little wait?!

[15:25] ---
    -to work here part time.
    -You'll be able to eat

[15:27] ---
    something more delicious!
[15:31] ---
    At the end of the day,
    anything tastes good when you're hungry.
[15:35] ---
    Thanks for the tsukemen-ramen!
[15:37] ---
    I'm stuffed!
[15:39] ---
    Considering he complained about it,
[15:40] ---
    *I can't believe he drank every last drop
    of that strong tsukemen soup.
[15:43] ---
    Although there's a problem
    with how he ate the tsukemen...
[15:46] ---
    I guess I can't complain
    since he had three bowls.
[15:50] ---
    All right, let's get right back to training!
[15:54] ---
    No, before that...
[15:56] ---
    Huh?
[15:57] ---
    Naruto... I'll show you something cool.
[16:01] ---
    Something cool?
[16:04] ---
    There are some things
    I want to explain to you
[16:06] ---
    while we take a little rest after eating.
[16:08] ---
    What?
    More complicated explanations?
[16:11] ---
    It'll be okay...
    I'm a slick talker, so you'll get it.
[16:17] ---
    Here's your bill.
[16:20] ---
    Yamato, you take care of this.
[16:22] ---
    What?! Isn't it usually the senior
    who takes care of it?
[16:26] ---
    There are no seniors or juniors
    in regards to the men I respect.
[16:29] ---
    Well, you're pretty much
    the only junior...
[16:33] ---
    I respect.
[16:37] ---
    But I suppose I really should...
[16:42] ---
    -Thank you very much!
    -Oh, keep the change.
[16:47] ---
    You really are a slick talker.
[16:50] ---
    I'm really sick of how lousy
    you are at conversation.
[16:54] ---
    A nice trip is totally ruined
[16:57] ---
    if you get stuck traveling with
    a totally boring person.
[17:01] ---
    We're not traveling for fun.
[17:05] ---
    And I've had it with looking
    for Jinchuriki
[17:08] ---
    when we don't even know
    where the heck they might be.
[17:10] ---
    Put yourself in my position.
[17:12] ---
    I'm forced to go along
    with all this extra work.
[17:14] ---
    I'd like a little sympathy here.
[17:17] ---
    Just shut up and keep walking...
    We're late.
[17:20] ---
    Huh?
    We're late because we're going
[17:23] ---
    to that Collection Office
    or whatever it is, right?
[17:26] ---
    For crying out loud...
[17:27] ---
    you're making this boring trip
    even longer.
[17:30] ---
    It's really annoying...I tell you...
[17:35] ---
    Annoying, you say?
    This is also an important mission.
[17:40] ---
    Yeah, whatever.
    You've been left in charge
[17:42] ---
    of scraping together money
    for the organization, right?
[17:44] ---
    A pittance like that would
    only be enough to pay
[17:47] ---
    for an after-party
    for Tailed-Beast hunting.
[17:56] ---
    Oh!
[18:00] ---
    Hey, I'm sorry!
[18:02] ---
    Hey, that body is heavy, isn't it?
    I could carry it for you.
[18:08] ---
    What're you going to do...
    with my valuable bounty?
[18:13] ---
    I was just being nice.
[18:16] ---
    You're going to discard it, right?
[18:18] ---
    What're you talking about?
[18:20] ---
    I can see right through you.
[18:23] ---
    You want to get rid of this body, right?
[18:27] ---
    Oh, you got me.
[18:29] ---
    We should just forget about that
    and get right to the Jinchuriki.
[18:37] ---
    I finally got to you.
[18:40] ---
    You're such a prick.
[18:47] ---
    Hey, hey, hey!
[18:49] ---
    Are you done already?
[18:51] ---
    I don't have the time to
    be joining you in your diversions.
[18:55] ---
    And besides...at some point after
    this mission is finished,
[18:59] ---
    I'll send you to the next world
    so that you won't get bored in this one.
[19:04] ---
    Not that again.
[19:07] ---
    Oh, man... I hope our next opponent
    has enough fight in them
[19:12] ---
    so I can let off some steam.
[19:26] ---
    Kakashi Sensei,
    what're you going to show me?
[19:30] ---
    This is the cool thing...
    I wanted to show you.
[19:41] ---
    This is...
[19:50] ---
    R-Rasengan...?
[19:56] ---
    You can also use...
    the Rasengan, Kakashi Sensei?!
[21:40] ---
    I can't believe the Rasengan was
    an unfinished Jutsu.
[21:43] ---
    Adding a Change in Chakra Nature
    to the Rasengan
[21:46] ---
    is something even the Fourth Hokage
    couldn't do.
[21:49] ---
    In other words,
    I can't teach you what comes next.
[21:51] ---
    You have to discover it for yourself.
[21:53] ---
    No way...
[21:54] ---
    Hey, do you know
    why I'm telling you this, Naruto?
[21:58] ---
    - Huh?
    - It's because I believe...
[22:01] ---
    you're the only Shinobi who
    can go beyond the Fourth Hokage.
[22:05] ---
    Next time:
    "The Next Step"
