[00:31] ---
    It hurts, doesn't it?
[00:33] ---
    Well?
[00:40] ---
    The judgment has been
    handed down.
[00:44] ---
    Wh-What do you mean?
[00:48] ---
    How about it?
[00:49] ---
    Has this helped you understand
    the pain that other people feel,
[00:51] ---
    even a little bit?
[00:53] ---
    Even my arm...
[00:55] ---
    Has his Jutsu done something?
[00:58] ---
    No, that can't be...
[01:00] ---
    You have already fallen
    under my curse.
[01:05] ---
    The ceremony will now begin.
[01:16] ---
    Well, then...
[01:18] ---
    Why not taste the ultimate pain
    with me?!
[02:54] ---
    The Judgment
    
    
    

[03:08] ---
    You have already fallen
    under my curse.
[03:13] ---
    The ceremony will now begin.
[03:16] ---
    Well, then! Why not taste
    the ultimate pain with me?!
[03:26] ---
    Why is Captain Asuma burned?
[03:29] ---
    Wasn't his opponent the one hit
    by the Fire Style Jutsu?!
[03:32] ---
    He definitely was hit.
[03:34] ---
    But for some reason,
[03:35] ---
    Captain Asuma was also
    burned by the Jutsu!
[03:38] ---
    This...could it be that...
[03:42] ---
    This will net us 35 million in gold.
[03:48] ---
    All the preparations are
    now complete!
[03:51] ---
    It's going to hurt like crazy,
    so get ready!
[04:23] ---
    Take that!
[04:35] ---
    It hurts, doesn't it?!
[04:41] ---
    But this is nothing.
    I haven't got you in a vital spot yet!
[04:45] ---
    Believe me,
    THAT pain is out of this world!
[04:48] ---
    The pain another feels while
    dying penetrates into my own body!
[04:53] ---
    I pass through the pain, transcend it,
    and turn it into pleasure!
[05:10] ---
    Captain Asuma...
[05:12] ---
    is holding his left leg.
[05:14] ---
    Something strange is going on.
[05:17] ---
    It's the same injured leg as
[05:18] ---
    the opponent who stabbed himself
    with his own lance!
[05:20] ---
    Wh-Why...
[05:30] ---
    *You have already fallen
    under my curse.
[05:44] ---
    So that's how it is!
[05:45] ---
    But of course...
[05:47] ---
    *His body and mine are connected
    with some curse.
[05:52] ---
    *In other words, the damage dealt
    to our bodies is also linked.
[05:57] ---
    Furthermore, he is immortal.
[06:08] ---
    Where would you like to hurt next?
[06:11] ---
    Hmm? Here? Or here?
[06:14] ---
    How about both legs
    at the same time?!
[06:18] ---
    Or...
[06:22] ---
    shall we end now?!
[06:25] ---
    How about it?!
[06:29] ---
    Shikamaru! You must not use
    a physical attack like Shadow Sewing!
[06:33] ---
    Stop his movements with
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu! Hurry!
[06:35] ---
    I'm already on it!
[06:38] ---
    Better make it in time!
[06:43] ---
    Please make it in time!
[07:15] ---
    Die--!
[07:17] ---
    Do you think I'd let that happen?!
[07:51] ---
    You did it, Shikamaru!
[07:58] ---
    This won't stop me for long!
[08:12] ---
    Izumo, how many minutes have passed
[08:14] ---
    since you requested backup?
[08:16] ---
    About ten minutes.
[08:17] ---
    It'll be at least another 20 minutes
    before reinforcements arrive.
[08:20] ---
    That long?!
[08:22] ---
    Damn...! What should we do?!
[08:25] ---
    If we kill him,
    Captain Asuma will also die!
[08:28] ---
    Usually, one must kill one's opponent
    in order to break a long-lasting type Jutsu.
[08:32] ---
    But if that is not possible...
[08:35] ---
    *Every Jutsu inevitably has rules
    associated with it,
[08:38] ---
    as well as risks and pitfalls.
[08:41] ---
    *First, I need to calm down
    and analyze the opponent.
[08:45] ---
    *I was saved,
    thanks to Shikamaru.
[08:48] ---
    *I must take this chance and
    think of a way to break this Jutsu.
[09:23] ---
    With him as an opponent,
[09:24] ---
    *the Shadow Strangle Jutsu
     won't hold out that long.
[09:26] ---
    *There's little time to consider
    the next move.
[09:29] ---
    If this wears on any longer, I'll lend a hand.
[09:35] ---
    We can't let all the money get away.
[09:39] ---
    I told you to butt out, Kakuzu!
[09:43] ---
    I can handle this...!
[09:48] ---
    Truth be told, the situation as it is...
[09:50] ---
    *we're lucky the other guy has
    stayed out of the fight for now.
[09:54] ---
    *Be that as it may,
    there's still the question of what to do.
[09:58] ---
    Well, it's all a matter of time now...
[10:08] ---
    Why that...
[10:11] ---
    That's it... Think back...
[10:14] ---
    Surely, I've come this far assuming
[10:16] ---
    *I'd be fighting against an adversary
    beyond the scope of my imagination.
[10:30] ---
    OROCHIMARU
    
    
    *The Akatsuki Organization
    is made up of ten members.
[10:33] ---
    But Orochimaru withdrew.
[10:36] ---
    SASORI
    
    
    Sasori of the Red Sand is dead.
[10:40] ---
    ITACHI
    
    
    *Of the remaining ones,
    we know the identities of three.
[10:45] ---
    KISAME
    
    
    Kisame Hoshigaki,
[10:47] ---
    *who is reputed to have sparred
    with Guy Sensei with ease...
[10:50] ---
    He might be a Water Style User.
[10:53] ---
    ITACHI
    
    
    *Sasuke's older brother,
    Itachi Uchiha with his Sharingan...
[10:58] ---
    *It was his handiwork that put Kakashi
    in the hospital for over a week.
[11:04] ---
    *Deidara, said to have sparred
    with Naruto.
[11:07] ---
    He uses animated explosive clay.
[11:11] ---
    DEIDARA
    
    
    He blew himself up in the end.
[11:13] ---
    *It's doubtful whether that story
     is actually true.
[11:17] ---
    *That leaves five members
    of the Akatsuki Organization...
[11:18] ---
    *Whichever of the faces
    in this file you pick,
[11:21] ---
    you'll find him to be one tough opponent.
[11:24] ---
    *Their Ninjutsu will be of a level
    that should not be underestimated.
[11:27] ---
    *Though the true nature of
    these five is unknown,
[11:29] ---
    *there is no doubt they have special abilities
     that are beyond our imagination.
[11:36] ---
    RECORD OF PAST BATTLES
    
    
    Good grief.
[11:37] ---
    *We're up against the worst possible
     bunch of fellows.
[11:39] ---
    When it comes to this,
[11:41] ---
    *it's meaningless to formulate
    a strategy in advance.
[11:44] ---
    *In fact, any preconceptions
     might make matters worse.
[11:55] ---
    So, what should we do?
[11:57] ---
    *It goes without saying that
    we should train to get stronger,
[12:00] ---
    but what happens when you encounter
[12:01] ---
     *an adversary against whom
    you cannot win?
[12:09] ---
    *The nature and extent of
    the enemy's powers--
[12:13] ---
    his Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.
[12:16] ---
    *You must discern what type
    of Ninja he is.
[12:18] ---
    *Then you need to determine whether
     or not it's a combined attack
[12:20] ---
    by guys who function as a two-man cell.
[12:22] ---
    And if there's a possibility of that,
[12:23] ---
    *then what kind of chemistry does
    he have with his team members?
[12:26] ---
    *We need to gather as
    much information as possible
[12:28] ---
    and make a split second decision.
[12:36] ---
    When you're up against an organization
    like the Akatsuki,
[12:39] ---
    there isn't even time to
    gather such information, is there?
[12:43] ---
    Akatsuki, you say?
[12:46] ---
    Asuma...
[12:47] ---
    Have you already taken action
    against the Akatsuki Organization?
[12:50] ---
    No, I came to the conclusion that
    it was pointless.
[12:56] ---
    That's what you think.
[12:57] ---
    If you got hold of even one piece
    of information about the enemy,
[13:00] ---
    it could lead to a successful strategy.
[13:03] ---
    If we could get our hands
    on such information.
[13:05] ---
    That's difficult since we're up
    against the Akatsuki for the first time.
[13:08] ---
    A guy like me would be blown away
    in an instant.
[13:12] ---
    Well, you're probably right about that.
[13:15] ---
    RECORD OF PAST BATTLES
    CLASSIFIED DATA VOL. 1
    
    
    It's mortifying,
    but those are guys who don't slack off.
[13:19] ---
    That is if you were to come up against
    the Akatsuki on a one-to-one basis.
[13:24] ---
    You are one of the best at judging
    and analyzing a situation,
[13:26] ---
    even among the Hidden Leaf.
[13:29] ---
    If you can't find the time to strategize
    in a one-on-one combat,
[13:32] ---
    then depend upon your comrades.
[13:35] ---
    Team responsibility is important,
[13:37] ---
    but one who does not rely
    upon his comrades...
[13:38] ---
    KISAME
    
    
    is not fulfilling that responsibility.
[13:43] ---
    There are times when even
    if you can't do it alone,
[13:44] ---
    things will somehow work out
[13:46] ---
    if you and your comrades
    pool each others strengths.
[13:48] ---
    It's not enough for things to
    just somehow work out.
[13:50] ---
    Then, do something.
[13:52] ---
    Before your comrades get done in.
[13:59] ---
    *Asuma has left me with
    a wealth of information.
[14:03] ---
    Think! You've got to think!
[14:13] ---
    *Remarks, personality, speech patterns...
    the clothes they wear...
[14:18] ---
    *Grasp their movements
    right up to now.
[14:21] ---
    *The significance of
    each and every action.
[14:23] ---
    And then the connection between actions.
[14:26] ---
    Develop a hypothesis about their abilities
[14:28] ---
    *that can be drawn from
    all these factors.
[14:31] ---
    It's all about observation and analysis.
[14:36] ---
    God's judgment will be handed down!
[14:39] ---
    God...judgment...
[14:41] ---
    You have already fallen under my curse.
[14:45] ---
    The ceremony will now begin.
[14:48] ---
    A curse...the ceremony...
[14:50] ---
    With this, all preparations are complete!
[14:53] ---
    Preparations...!
[15:11] ---
    *Looks like Shikamaru
    came up with an idea.
[15:14] ---
    Did you figure something out, Shikamaru?
[15:17] ---
    Yeah!
[15:18] ---
    *It's amazing that you're capable
    of such an analysis
[15:20] ---
    while still maintaining your Jutsu.
[15:23] ---
    *Shikamaru is endowed with
    lightning powers of analysis
[15:25] ---
    *that enable him to look ten steps ahead
    and predict 200 more.
[15:28] ---
    *What's more,
    he has the intuition to choose
[15:30] ---
     *the best possible strategy
    based on that analysis.
[15:33] ---
    I'm heading out, Captain Asuma...
[15:57] ---
    That Shadow Jutsu...
[15:58] ---
    *Does it force the person it's used on
    to mirror the motions of its caster?
[16:11] ---
    *Why you... Trying to sniff out the true nature
     of my Jutsu.
[16:17] ---
    What are you going to do?!
[16:18] ---
    I'll draw that creep outside the strange
    pattern drawn on the ground!
[16:24] ---
    If I do that,
    his curse Jutsu will be broken.
[16:28] ---
    What on earth does that mean?!
[16:30] ---
    His weapon...
[16:32] ---
    That huge scythe with three blades.
[16:34] ---
    Judging by its shape, I'd say it's not
    designed to land a single fatal blow,
[16:37] ---
    but rather increase
    his attack range.
[16:40] ---
    All his weapons are designed to
    cause damage from a distance.
[16:47] ---
    In other words, his tactic is to
    only injure his opponent
[16:51] ---
    and then buy time to deploy
    a lethal Jutsu.
[16:55] ---
    And by that you mean the curse?
[16:57] ---
    But what's the connection between
    the enemy's wound and the curse?
[17:03] ---
    It's blood...
[17:05] ---
    In order to form a link between himself
    and his targeted opponent,
[17:07] ---
    he needs to find a way to incorporate
    that opponent's blood into his own body.
[17:17] ---
    So when he was licking the blood...
[17:22] ---
    Then if he wounds his opponent and
    even a little blood adheres to that sickle...
[17:27] ---
    he can curse his opponent.
[17:30] ---
    But of course...
[17:31] ---
    After licking the blood,
    his body changed color.
[17:34] ---
    That is a condition for invoking the curse.
    But that's not all.
[17:39] ---
    In order to completely invoke the curse,
    one more condition must be met.
[17:45] ---
    One more?
[17:46] ---
    This brat knows his stuff.
[17:49] ---
    A little while ago,
[17:51] ---
    that creep let Asuma's Fire Style Jutsu
    roll right off him.
[17:54] ---
    He was unfazed,
[17:55] ---
    but he hurried back to that strange pattern
    drawn on the ground, remember?
[17:58] ---
    And once he was standing
    inside that pattern,
[18:00] ---
    he said the ceremony would begin.
[18:02] ---
    And by howling that the preparations
    were now complete...
[18:05] ---
    We can surmise the set-up
    for his art of cursing
[18:07] ---
    is only complete once he steps
    inside that pattern.
[18:14] ---
    You little brat!
[18:17] ---
    You talk too much.
[18:22] ---
    *He was able to figure
    all that out?
[18:29] ---
    You little brat!
[18:31] ---
    Why you! I'll get you later!
    I'll tear you limb from limb!
[18:34] ---
    I'll pulverize you! I'll turn you inside out!
[18:36] ---
    There isn't going to be a "later"!
[18:40] ---
    We got him out!
[18:41] ---
    All right! The curse is broken!
[18:52] ---
    All right!
[18:57] ---
    Wha--?!
[19:01] ---
    Nuts...
[19:02] ---
    I can't move...
[19:08] ---
    I'm at my limit! I don't think
    I can hold him any longer.
[19:13] ---
    You did well, Shikamaru.
[19:32] ---
    Kakuzu! Lend me a hand!
[19:36] ---
    Hey! Snap to it!
[19:49] ---
    I told you to keep your wits
    about you.
[21:39] ---
    All right! So this leaves
    only one opponent remaining?
[21:42] ---
    But his power and speed are probably
    greater than that of the immortal guy.
[21:47] ---
    And he may still have abilities
    we don't know about...!
[21:50] ---
    Shikamaru!
[21:51] ---
    Shikamaru is exhausted.
[21:52] ---
    And the captain is wounded.
[21:55] ---
    What do you want to do, Izumo?
[21:56] ---
    We have the advantage of
    outnumbering our opponents
[21:58] ---
    and even immobilized one of them.
[22:00] ---
    But perhaps we should start
    looking for a chance to retreat.
[22:03] ---
