[00:05] ---
    That's not fair!
[00:07] ---
    You're easily using the Rasengan
    even though it's my secret technique!
[00:12] ---
    And I had such a rough time enduring
    the Pervy Sage's harsh training.
[00:18] ---
    Listen...
[00:19] ---
    - We're just getting to the main issue...
    - And you can do it just like that.
[00:22] ---
    And with one hand at that...
[00:25] ---
    And all I can do is spin it around
    into shape with a clone...
[00:29] ---
    Man, this is too much trouble...
[00:34] ---
    Let me try.
[00:35] ---
    Well, let's wait for him to
    calm down a little more.
[00:53] ---
    I didn't show you the Rasengan because
    I wanted to brag about it or anything.
[00:58] ---
    Yeah, right.
[01:00] ---
    I told you the Rasengan is a Jutsu
[01:02] ---
    with only the Change in Chakra Form
    taken to the extreme, right?
[01:05] ---
    Change in Chakra Form...?
[01:07] ---
    And...a Jutsu with
    the Change in Chakra Nature
[01:09] ---
    added to the Change in Chakra Form...
[01:12] ---
    For example... Chidori.
[01:16] ---
    Oh, more bragging, huh?
[01:22] ---
    Not only does this Jutsu use
    the Change in Chakra Nature
[01:25] ---
    to shift the Chakra Nature
    into lightning...
[01:27] ---
    but it also uses Change in Chakra Form
    to transform it
[01:30] ---
    into an electrical discharge
    and control its range and power.
[01:34] ---
    Listen up. When you take Chakra
    and add in Change in Chakra Form
[01:37] ---
    and Change in Chakra Nature...
[01:39] ---
    the attack power of a Shinobi
    rises dramatically.
[01:43] ---
    Well, there are hardly any Shinobi
    who can use
[01:46] ---
    both Change in Chakra Form
    and Nature, though.
[01:49] ---
    I knew it. You're bragging.
[01:51] ---
    You obtained the wind Change
    in Chakra Nature in your training earlier.
[01:55] ---
    And you already possess
    the ultimate Change in Chakra Form.
[02:00] ---
    Rasengan...
[02:02] ---
    That's right.
[02:06] ---
    Then that means...
[02:08] ---
    I already have both?
[02:11] ---
    Well...that's pretty much the case.
[02:16] ---
    All right! Then it looks like I'll be able
    to get a new Jutsu just like that!
[02:21] ---
    Yes, yes, yes, yes!
[02:26] ---
    This is going to be a cinch!
[02:30] ---
    If it were that easy,
[02:31] ---
    it wouldn't have been necessary
    for me to develop the Chidori.
[02:41] ---
    I wasn't able to combine
    the Rasengan Change in Chakra Form
[02:45] ---
    with my lightning Change in Chakra Nature.
[02:49] ---
    Phenomenal technique is
    necessary to combine
[02:51] ---
    the Change in Chakra Nature
    with the Change in Chakra Form.
[02:54] ---
    Well, it might be better to say one needs
    a phenomenal "ability" or "sense."
[02:59] ---
    I wasn't the only one who
    was not able to get this far.
[03:03] ---
    It was the same even for
    the teacher who invented this Jutsu.
[03:08] ---
    Teacher?
[03:09] ---
    That's right...
[03:11] ---
    Even the Fourth Hokage
    couldn't do it.
[03:18] ---
    The Fourth Hokage took
    the Change in Chakra Form
[03:21] ---
    to the highest possible level.
[03:24] ---
    And that's the Rasengan.
[03:32] ---
    Just a Change in Chakra Form
    has an A-rank difficulty level.
[03:36] ---
    Even I can somehow copy it
    if it's just to this degree.
[03:39] ---
    The problem is what comes after that.
[03:43] ---
    The Fourth Hokage originally
    developed the Rasengan
[03:47] ---
    intending to add his own
    Change in Chakra Nature to it.
[03:51] ---
    Then that means the Rasengan
    was a Ninjutsu still being developed?
[03:57] ---
    That's pretty much the case.
[04:00] ---
    Any Jutsu beyond that would be
[04:03] ---
    an S-rank difficulty level or
    maybe even higher.
[04:08] ---
    Furthermore,
    it might be impossible to begin with...
[04:13] ---
    I won't be able to teach you
    what comes next.
[04:16] ---
    You'll have to discover it for yourself.
[04:19] ---
    Do you know... Do you know why
    I'm telling you this, Naruto?
[04:28] ---
    It's because
    I believe you're the only Shinobi...
[04:31] ---
    who can surpass the Fourth Hokage.
[04:40] ---
    Well... That's enough talk for now.
[04:43] ---
    I guess we'll start up training again
    after a bit more rest.
[04:55] ---
    Just what I'd expect from you, Kakashi.
[04:57] ---
    Sure enough, you are a slick talker.
[05:01] ---
    No...
[05:06] ---
    I really do believe in him.
[05:12] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[06:46] ---
    The Next Step
    
    
    
[07:01] ---
    Lady Tsunade!
[07:03] ---
    We have received a message
    from Team Asuma!
[07:44] ---
    It seems...the two Akatsuki
    are heading for a Collection Office.
[07:53] ---
    Of the locations...
    the nearest Collection Office is...
[07:57] ---
    We're close!
[08:00] ---
    *At any moment...
    we're going to fight the Akatsuki.
[08:04] ---
    It'll be okay, Ino.
[08:06] ---
    There's nothing to be afraid of as long as
    we do as Asuma Sensei taught us.
[08:13] ---
    Right.
[08:14] ---
    Just kidding. Shikamaru said that
    to me on a previous mission.
[08:22] ---
    Choji...
[08:26] ---
    Shikamaru's doing his best, too.
    We've got to keep it together.
[08:39] ---
    Asuma Sensei...
[08:42] ---
    What kind of relationship did
    you have with that Chiriku guy?
[08:46] ---
    What's the deal all of a sudden?
[08:48] ---
    A heavy smoker like you
    hasn't smoked in two whole days.
[08:52] ---
    You always stop smoking...
    when something has happened.
[08:59] ---
    You're so observant...
[09:01] ---
    I'm far too soft if you can see
    right through to my heart like that.
[09:05] ---
    Well, I can always tell
[09:08] ---
    what move you're going to make
    when we play Shogi.
[09:12] ---
    You haven't looked like this since
    the Third Hokage passed away.
[09:22] ---
    You know that Chiriku and I
    were fellow members
[09:25] ---
    of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, right?
[09:29] ---
    I guess you could say...
    we were like you and Choji.
[09:42] ---
    You won't stop smoking for long.
[09:46] ---
    I won't stop smoking for long...huh?
[09:51] ---
    Indeed, that's how it's gone until now.
[09:56] ---
    Shikamaru, I appreciate you
    worrying about me.
[10:00] ---
    But I didn't stop smoking
    because of Chiriku.
[10:04] ---
    More importantly, the guys from Akatsuki
    are good enough to kill Chiriku.
[10:09] ---
    They probably have
    a great deal of skill.
[10:11] ---
    Stay sharp!
[10:21] ---
    STABILIZE
[10:26] ---
    Okay, form the Rasengan
    in teams of two.
[10:29] ---
    And at the same time,
[10:31] ---
    incorporate the wind Change in
    Chakra Nature into the Rasengan.
[10:34] ---
    Well, it's easy to say...
[10:36] ---
    but I can't concretely tell you
    to do this or that.
[10:39] ---
    Naruto, you just have to think about it
    and grasp this on your own.
[10:44] ---
    Okay...shall we begin?
[10:47] ---
    Right!
[10:59] ---
    Create a "wind Change in Chakra Nature"
[11:01] ---
    ...with my Wind Chakra!
[11:04] ---
    That being said...
[11:05] ---
    how do we do that while creating
    a Rasengan Change in Chakra Form?!
[11:09] ---
    That's what I want to know!
[11:16] ---
    Damn it!
[11:39] ---
    That's reckless...
    He just finished cutting the waterfall.
[11:46] ---
    At just a time like this...
[11:50] ---
    Umm...I could just say nothing.
[11:54] ---
    But I'll be honest with you...
    These food pills are really awful.
[11:58] ---
    What?!
    They're not awful!
[12:02] ---
    I got creative with this...
    so they'd be easy to consume...
[12:07] ---
    What...?!
[12:08] ---
    Then I'll eat one, okay?
[12:17] ---
    I knew it...
[12:25] ---
    Sure enough, he's quick to tire when
    using his Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[12:31] ---
    Damn it...
[12:33] ---
    Let's go!
[12:34] ---
    Right!
[12:38] ---
    Incorporate wind Chakra into this.
[12:53] ---
    Damn it!
[12:57] ---
    This is impossible.
[13:01] ---
    *And here I need a ton of concentration
    just for the Rasengan.
[13:08] ---
    *And then having to add
    the Change in Chakra Nature to that...
[13:12] ---
    *It's like saying look to the left
    and right at the same time.
[13:19] ---
    Damn it!
[13:21] ---
    This isn't the time to be throwing
    in the towel already!
[13:25] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[13:47] ---
    H-Hey, where are you going?!
[13:50] ---
    The bathroom?!
    I guess it can't be helped.
[13:54] ---
    We'll take a leak together.
[14:16] ---
    This is the Collection Office.
[14:19] ---
    Why put a secret door in a bathroom?
[14:24] ---
    This way.
[14:41] ---
    Put it here.
[14:43] ---
    Okay.
[14:46] ---
    Hurry up and get it done!
[15:00] ---
    No doubt about it.
    It is Chiriku.
[15:05] ---
    You got yourself a big one
    this time, Kakuzu.
[15:08] ---
    Yeah...
[15:30] ---
    Hey, this place stinks.
[15:33] ---
    Let's get going, Kakuzu.
[15:35] ---
    Wait. I'm going to count the money.
[15:41] ---
    I'm never coming to a place
    like this again.
[15:43] ---
    I can't tell if the stench is
    from the piss or the corpses.
[15:47] ---
    I'll be outside.
[15:59] ---
    We're almost...
    at the Collection Office...
[16:09] ---
    It's almost time...
[16:11] ---
    Let's get ready.
[16:34] ---
    It's all here.
[16:40] ---
    I'll be counting on you...
    for the next one, sir.
[16:46] ---
    Sorry, but I won't be back for a while.
[16:49] ---
    We're going to the Hidden Leaf
    to look for a Jinchuriki.
[16:54] ---
    Let me give you some advice.
    You should ditch that partner of yours.
[16:59] ---
    He doesn't seem interested in money.
[17:03] ---
    I know that. Indeed, he has
    no interest in money.
[17:07] ---
    But nobody else is capable
    of being my partner.
[17:11] ---
    There's a reason for that.
[17:14] ---
    A reason, huh?
[17:16] ---
    Everyone else who teamed up
    with me is dead.
[17:26] ---
    When I have trouble with a partner,
    I end up wanting to kill them.
[17:31] ---
    But I can't kill him.
[17:34] ---
    That's the reason.
[17:48] ---
    Concentrate...
[17:49] ---
    *Like grinding
    the two Chakra together...
[18:04] ---
    Hey! Tenzo!
[18:05] ---
    I know.
[18:36] ---
    Naruto...
[18:39] ---
    If Naruto keeps doing this, he'll...
[18:43] ---
    And I can't keep stopping that
    over and over again...
[18:46] ---
    - I can't...
    - No... This is the only way.
[18:50] ---
    Whether or not his Jutsu
    is completed rides on you.
[18:59] ---
    I understand...
[19:37] ---
    The Akatsuki...are up ahead.
[19:41] ---
    Let's go!
[19:53] ---
    Ohh, it stinks!
[19:55] ---
    Being in a crap hole like that
    for five minutes
[19:57] ---
    would soak my clothes in the stench.
[20:03] ---
    Took you long enough, Kakuzu.
[21:38] ---
    There's no sign of the Akatsuki
    having come to this Collection Office.
[21:41] ---
    Furthermore,
[21:42] ---
    it doesn't even look like anyone's been
    through here for several days.
[21:45] ---
    Have we heard from the platoons
    that went to the other locations?
[21:47] ---
    No, nothing yet.
[21:49] ---
    That means nobody's made contact yet
    with the Akatsuki, right?
[21:54] ---
    And Asuma Sensei
    and Shikamaru also, right?
[21:56] ---
    It'll be okay.
    You don't need to worry.
[21:59] ---
    We know better than anyone else
    how strong Asuma Sensei is, right?
[22:03] ---
    Next time:
    "Climbing Silver"
