[00:55] ---
    They haven't been here yet.
[01:10] ---
    Not yet, huh?
[01:12] ---
    We'll monitor the area here
    until there's movement!
[02:04] ---
    I-I don't know...
    No way would I tell you even if I did.
[02:08] ---
    That's what he says.
    Should we kill him?
[02:12] ---
    We should leave the torture to Ibiki.
[02:15] ---
    No signs of the Akatsuki, after all.
[02:18] ---
    Same here.
[02:20] ---
    It doesn't look like anyone's been
    through here for several days...
[02:23] ---
    I think it's certain
    they haven't been here yet.
[02:26] ---
    What's the plan, Aoba?
[02:30] ---
    There are still no requests for backup
[02:32] ---
    from the units that went to
    the other four Collection Offices.
[02:36] ---
    Which means there's still been
    no contact with the Akatsuki, huh?
[02:39] ---
    Well, I don't know about that.
[02:41] ---
    They might already be in
    the middle of a fight right now.
[02:45] ---
    Don't worry.
[02:46] ---
    It'd be reassuring if Asuma's unit
[02:49] ---
    were to make contact with the Akatsuki.
[02:50] ---
    You guys know of his strength
    better than anyone, right?
[02:55] ---
    That's right.
[02:56] ---
    Yeah, and Shikamaru's with him, too.
[02:59] ---
    All right! Let's head out and
    work out another strategy.
[03:08] ---
    Let's go!
[03:18] ---
    Let's sort out all the information
    we have right now.
[03:22] ---
    The Akatsuki have headed for
    one of the five Collection Offices.
[03:26] ---
    There have been no requests
    for backup from the other four.
[03:29] ---
    And they haven't been to
    this Collection Office, yet.
[03:32] ---
    That means...
[03:34] ---
    Right.
[03:35] ---
    There's a chance
[03:37] ---
    they might still be heading for
    this Collection Office.
[03:40] ---
    That's about the size of it.
    We'll lie in wait and grab them.
[04:22] ---
    These are all the possible patterns of
    action for the enemy at this stage.
[04:26] ---
    All of you take up positions and
    wait as devised earlier!
[04:29] ---
    Yes, sir!
[04:32] ---
    Where'd the Akatsuki go?
[07:30] ---
    Climbing Silver
[07:43] ---
    Took you long enough, Kakuzu!
[08:05] ---
    Too slow.
[08:09] ---
    We got one to start.
[08:22] ---
    That hurts...
    What's with you jerks?
[08:28] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
    We pierced his vital spots.
[08:31] ---
    Don't push it in deeper like that!
[08:33] ---
    Hey, that hurts!
[08:35] ---
    Is this guy...immortal?
[08:37] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
    So...who're you guys?
[08:48] ---
    That mark.
[08:50] ---
    If I remember correctly, it's from
    the Guardian Shinobi or something...
[08:53] ---
    Are you kidding me?
[08:54] ---
    Do I have to go back inside that
    smelly Collection Office again?
[08:58] ---
    Chiriku...
[09:06] ---
    We're Hidden Leaf Shinobi.
[09:09] ---
    We've been ordered to either
    capture or eliminate you Akatsuki.
[09:13] ---
    Akatsuki operate in teams of two.
[09:16] ---
    Our intention was to take down
    one of you first
[09:19] ---
    and then capture the other.
[09:22] ---
    But you're pretty tough,
    as was expected.
[09:25] ---
    *So this is the Akatsuki, huh?
    What insane ability.
[09:29] ---
    My Shadow Sewing probably won't...
[09:33] ---
    You jerks went after us
    in the wrong order.
[09:38] ---
    Where's the other one?
[09:45] ---
    The Jutsu's broken!
[09:50] ---
    Kotetsu, Izumo, get back!
[09:55] ---
    Sure enough, the guy in the middle...
[09:58] ---
    This is a first, you being interested
    in money, Hidan.
[10:03] ---
    Kakuzu...
[10:04] ---
    You stay out of this.
[10:06] ---
    I'm going to use these guys for my ritual.
[10:08] ---
    I'll give you the money.
[10:10] ---
    Kakuzu...and Hidan, huh?
[10:13] ---
    Very well... But don't get careless.
    You'll die.
[10:19] ---
    I told you.
    Don't give me that.
[10:26] ---
    If they could kill me,
    I'd want them to.
[10:32] ---
    Well... I guess it's impossible, huh?!
[10:35] ---
    *What's he going to do
    with that diagram?
[10:38] ---
    I'll charge him.
[10:39] ---
    Shikamaru, exploit an opening
[10:41] ---
    and restrain the immortal guy
    with your Shadow Sewing.
[10:43] ---
    It doesn't have to be for long.
[10:45] ---
    I'll cut his head off immediately
    and stop his movements.
[10:47] ---
    That's too risky.
    This isn't like you.
[10:52] ---
    I should go with you.
[10:53] ---
    Don't you get it?!
[10:55] ---
    That's the best thing we can do right now!
[10:57] ---
    *I've never seen Asuma
    look like this before.
[11:01] ---
    These guys are way
    stronger than me.
[11:04] ---
    Izumo, Kotetsu,
    you guys back up Shikamaru
[11:07] ---
    while keeping an eye on
    the other Akatsuki guy.
[11:10] ---
    If we know what they're capable of,
    then all the more reason
[11:12] ---
    we should pull out for now
    and plan a strategy.
[11:16] ---
    They won't let us get away
    that easily.
[11:22] ---
    If we try to escape
    without putting up a fight,
[11:23] ---
    we'll be completely wiped out...
[11:25] ---
    If that happens,
    the Hidden Leaf
[11:27] ---
    will be in even greater danger.
[11:28] ---
    It's like sending in an advance unit
    to break through enemy lines.
[11:31] ---
    Sometimes you have to be able
    to make a move like that.
[11:37] ---
    *I thought you didn't like moves like that.
    Just like me...
[11:42] ---
    *Sacrifice is required in order
    to protect the king
[11:45] ---
    *when your opponent
    is extremely skilled.
[11:47] ---
    *Don't tell me he's going
    to sacrifice himself.
[11:52] ---
    *One of them has great physical strength
    with unknown abilities.
[11:54] ---
    One of them is immortal.
[11:56] ---
    *Indeed, we don't
    stand much of a chance.
[11:59] ---
    *Even so, I can't believe Asuma would
    use himself as a sacrificial piece.
[12:04] ---
    Shogi?
    What a pain...
[12:07] ---
    I know you're lazy.
[12:11] ---
    And I also know
    that you're good at
[12:12] ---
    planning strategies
    for avoiding trouble.
[12:17] ---
    In Shogi, you can create
    a variety of situations
[12:22] ---
    by utilizing the individual characteristics
    of the various pieces.
[12:26] ---
    It's the perfect game
    for a person like you
[12:28] ---
    who's good at
    coming up with strategies.
[12:31] ---
    You should be able to
    figure out
[12:32] ---
    most of the rules
    if you read this book.
[12:35] ---
    The rest you'll pick up as you play.
[12:37] ---
    It's a pain, but I should have it
    down in ten minutes.
[12:46] ---
    I-I lost...
[12:49] ---
    You don't have to go easy on me...
    Seriously.
[12:52] ---
    But I can't believe you'd go
    with the Climbing Silver.
[12:54] ---
    It was in this book.
[12:57] ---
    It said to use an advance unit
    to break through enemy lines.
[13:02] ---
    Are you that upset you lost?
[13:05] ---
    No. Using advance units
    as sacrificial pieces
[13:07] ---
    to break through enemy lines, huh?
[13:10] ---
    It seems like the rational kind of idea
    you would come up with...
[13:13] ---
    But I don't really like it.
[13:17] ---
    It's just a game.
[13:18] ---
    I guess.
    But the Climbing Silver piece,
[13:21] ---
    while inflicting a lot of damage
    and undermining the enemy line,
[13:23] ---
    ends up becoming a sacrificial piece.
[13:26] ---
    Certainly taking each other's pieces
    is a natural part of the game.
[13:28] ---
    But to consider throwing away
    your pieces to be by-the-book...
[13:32] ---
    I guess
    I'm not quite satisfied with that.
[13:40] ---
    I'm not as rational
    as you say I am.
[13:46] ---
    Shall we play again?
[13:47] ---
    This time I'll take it nice and slow,
[13:49] ---
    and I won't use the Climbing Silver.
[13:53] ---
    Breaking through enemy lines...
[13:55] ---
    *Which means these enemies
    are so powerful,
[13:57] ---
    *he thinks using sacrificial pieces
    is inevitable, huh?
[14:00] ---
    *Indeed, we Chunin
    would not be pieces
[14:03] ---
    *that could put pressure
    on these guys.
[14:08] ---
    *Furthermore, Asuma would be
    at an overwhelming disadvantage
[14:11] ---
    if he had to fight while protecting us.
[14:14] ---
    *We could very well be completely
    wiped out as Asuma said.
[14:18] ---
    What's the best move?
[14:21] ---
    *They are major pieces,
    no doubt about it.
[14:23] ---
    *Bait is necessary to
    capture a major piece.
[14:26] ---
    *We need bait that's big enough
    to make them think
[14:29] ---
    *it's an unavoidable price to pay
    for the capture of a major piece.
[14:33] ---
    *We're not good enough...
    to be bait.
[14:37] ---
    *If we have to fight with the pieces
    we have available to us now...
[14:41] ---
    The Climbing Silver doesn't suit you.
[14:45] ---
    I won't be a mere sacrificial piece.
    I've got you with me, after all.
[14:50] ---
    How pathetic...
[14:51] ---
    *I can't be the bait and I can't put
    pressure on the enemy.
[14:54] ---
    *But I'll divert the major pieces
    like crazy.
[14:57] ---
    Are you done with
    your little strategy session?
[15:02] ---
    Getting cut up like that
    hurts like heck, you jerks.
[15:07] ---
    Divine justice will be handed down
    to you jerks
[15:10] ---
    who know nothing of the pain of others.
[16:03] ---
    You've got a nice weapon there!
[16:12] ---
    Asuma!
[16:21] ---
    Damn it! Reach!
[16:24] ---
    I'm finished if I get hit by that.
[16:28] ---
    I'll break you over and over again.
[16:42] ---
    Shikamaru... That's fine.
[16:45] ---
    *He has to fight while watching out
    for your Shadow Sewing.
[16:49] ---
    I have the advantage.
[16:51] ---
    Damn it!
[16:53] ---
    *Indeed, my Shadow Sewing attack
    is creating
[16:56] ---
    an advantageous battle for Asuma.
[16:59] ---
    Essentially, we're not mistaken...
[17:01] ---
    *But there's no point to
    having an advantage in this fight.
[17:06] ---
    He's immortal,
[17:07] ---
    *and we have a limit to
    our Chakra and our lives.
[17:10] ---
    *The real battle won't begin
    until I grab him.
[17:15] ---
    I don't have the time to think now.
[17:18] ---
    I don't think so!
[17:21] ---
    Oh no!
[17:27] ---
    That stance!
[17:41] ---
    How's Chiriku's Jutsu?
[17:43] ---
    Naturally, Chiriku's is much
    more impressive than mine, though.
[17:46] ---
    Damn it!
[17:48] ---
    Hidan! Don't underestimate them.
[17:50] ---
    Keep quiet!
[17:52] ---
    Just shut up and watch, Kakuzu.
[17:58] ---
    Nice!
[18:00] ---
    *As one would expect,
    the two of them are in synch.
[18:05] ---
    *It appears he really is going
    to stay out of this.
[18:09] ---
    Even so, we can't trust him to do that.
[18:16] ---
    You almost got him just now, Shikamaru.
[18:18] ---
    More importantly...
[18:20] ---
    Could you back me up?
[18:33] ---
    You guys are too desperate.
[18:35] ---
    Atheists always try to escape death
    with the most efficient approach.
[18:39] ---
    It's totally obvious!
[18:41] ---
    *You play around too much
    when you fight.
[18:45] ---
    Now!
[18:49] ---
    This time you've got nowhere to run.
[18:51] ---
    Then I won't dodge!
[18:55] ---
    Immortal jerk!
[18:57] ---
    I guess I'll take care of the small fries first.
[19:03] ---
    Oh no!
[19:07] ---
    I'm your opponent!
[19:13] ---
    Captain Asuma!
[19:28] ---
    If combo and pinpoint attacks won't hit...
[19:34] ---
    Burning Ash!
[19:46] ---
    He stopped his movements?
[21:39] ---
    What's happening?
[21:41] ---
    He's the one who was nailed by the Jutsu?
[21:43] ---
    Why's the captain...?!
[21:45] ---
    Don't tell me...this is...!
[21:47] ---
    Hey, did you figure something out, Shikamaru?
[21:49] ---
    I don't know what kind of approach
    he used.
[21:51] ---
    But his and Asuma's body
    might be connected
[21:53] ---
    with some kind of mechanism.
[21:55] ---
    Say what?!
[21:56] ---
    Connected? What does that mean?!
[22:00] ---
    Next time:
    "The Judgment"
