    HIDDEN LEAF
    NINJUTSU RESEARCH CENTER
[00:11] ---
    This is the Parasitic Insect
    we got from Shino, isn't it?
[00:13] ---
    Yes.
[00:17] ---
    What's this?!
[00:26] ---
    What is this hexagonal pattern?!
[00:30] ---
    Well, according the report from
    the research team...
[00:33] ---
    It means that even the body fluids of
    Shino's Parasitic Insect have crystallized.
[00:41] ---
    I see...
[00:43] ---
    What's the matter, Lady Tsunade?
[00:45] ---
    I never thought it truly existed...
[00:48] ---
    Do you know something about this?
[00:51] ---
    Yes.
[00:54] ---
    In the past, a rumor had spread
[00:57] ---
    about the existence of a Ninjutsu
    that crystallizes all materials.
[01:00] ---
    It was said to even crystallize
    human blood.
[01:05] ---
    It's a Ninjutsu technique
    called Crystal Style.
[01:07] ---
    It was said that an entire village disappeared
    in one night because of it...
[01:12] ---
    After it happened,
[01:14] ---
    there were no reports by witnesses,
    so it was dismissed as rumor.
[01:16] ---
    Then, you're saying that
    Crystal Style actually existed?
[01:20] ---
    Yes. If we relate the fact that
    there were no witnesses for a long time
[01:24] ---
    and the contact that Kakashi
    and the others had,
[01:28] ---
    this could possibly be
    one of Orochimaru's group.
[01:32] ---
    Does that mean that Orochimaru
    has begun moving?
[01:36] ---
    It's already been three years
    since Sasuke left the village.
[01:39] ---
    It's right about the time
    when Orochimaru could be reincarnated.
[01:44] ---
    We should consider that Orochimaru
    has begun making preparations for it.
[01:48] ---
    We must use that Crystal Style Ninja
    as a lead to...
[01:52] ---
    to learn Sasuke's whereabouts!
[03:26] ---
    *The Labyrinth of
    Distorted Reflection
    
    
[03:37] ---
    Halt!
[03:44] ---
    If things were going according to plan,
    he would have left some sign.
[03:49] ---
    I didn't see anything like that...
[03:52] ---
    Man! They better not have forgotten
    about the group behind them!
[03:56] ---
    They're not you, you know!
[03:59] ---
    We should assume something happened
    to the search team!
[04:02] ---
    - Sai.
    - Yes?
[04:04] ---
    Can you do reconnaissance from the sky?
[04:06] ---
    Understood.
[04:11] ---
    Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll.
[04:19] ---
    *We've got some time
    until Sai comes back.
[04:22] ---
    Wait for me here a while.
[04:24] ---
    We're on duty!
    Where do you think you're going?
[04:27] ---
    I've gotta pee!
[04:29] ---
    Good grief!
[04:38] ---
    I don't see anything that looks
    like the search team.
[04:53] ---
    Camellia?
[05:04] ---
    I'd better take this chance to review
    my training some more...
[05:07] ---
    I've forgotten the timing I had earlier.
[05:12] ---
    Huh? What's that?!
[05:32] ---
    You're that kid I saw the other day!
[05:40] ---
    It is you, after all...
    What're you doing here?
[05:45] ---
    Not all camellia trees are short.
    Some that grow in the wild are this tall.
[05:52] ---
    What're you talking about?
[05:54] ---
    It's me!
    You know, from the hot springs!
[05:57] ---
    Everyone has someplace to go home to.
[06:01] ---
    Wherever someone's thinking of you,
    that's where you go home to.
[06:04] ---
    Isn't that what I taught you?
[06:09] ---
    Never mind that, though.
    You're alone, aren't you?
[06:12] ---
    Where are your friends? Your family?
[06:15] ---
    The white camellias turned...red...
[06:19] ---
    Then they disappeared... All of them.
[06:26] ---
    Just as I thought, you're all alone,
    aren't you?
[06:29] ---
    If that's the case,
    do you want to come with us?!
[06:34] ---
    Come with us to our hometown.
[06:37] ---
    We're on a mission right now,
[06:39] ---
    but when we're done,
    we'll come back for you.
[06:46] ---
    Something just came up. Wait here.
[06:51] ---
    I have to wait...
[06:53] ---
    Huh?!
[06:55] ---
    Where there's someone thinking of me,
    that's where I go home to.
[06:58] ---
    Yes, that's right!
[07:02] ---
    Is there anyone thinking of me?
    I hope there is.
[07:07] ---
    Could it be that
    there's someone thinking of you?
[07:16] ---
    When I broke out in a fever,
    that person cared for me without sleeping.
[07:21] ---
    I see! That shows that person
    was thinking of you!
[07:26] ---
    I hope so...
[07:28] ---
    Listen, follow that person!
    Don't let that person go!
[07:33] ---
    Uh-huh.
[07:37] ---
    - Shino's insect?!
    - Naruto...
[07:40] ---
    Sorry. I'm on a mission...
[07:44] ---
    Huh?! Where'd he go?!
[07:47] ---
    Oh well, it seems he has
    a place to go home to.
[07:51] ---
    We found Shino's Parasitic Insects!
    We need to pursue immediately.
[07:55] ---
    Right.
[07:55] ---
    What took you so long?!
[08:00] ---
    Sorry... I ran into someone I knew.
[08:04] ---
    He's lying, of course.
[08:05] ---
    There's no way he'd run into
    someone he knew out here.
[08:08] ---
    He was really there, I'm telling you!
[08:11] ---
    A boy about this tall and...
[08:20] ---
    Humph, you're a pitiful lot!
[08:23] ---
    We're ashamed.
    Those guys were quite skilled...
[08:27] ---
    Well, because of that,
    we got a look at what they can do.
[08:31] ---
    Kakashi's about the only troublesome one.
[08:34] ---
    The first thing we need to do
    is stop Kakashi.
[08:37] ---
    We can't let those guys interfere
    with Lord Orochimaru's plans.
[08:43] ---
    I'll see to the rest...
[08:53] ---
    The trap is looking good...
[09:02] ---
    The seed of the Octangular Jade Crystal
[09:04] ---
    *placed in the 8 Trigrams
    8 Square Formation.
[09:06] ---
    *When this shines, the light
    inside the Jade Crystal
[09:09] ---
    *will bounce around,
    trapped for all eternity.
[09:14] ---
    Blossom!
    Crystal Style: Jade Crystal Labyrinth!
[09:40] ---
    Shino?! Can you follow it?!
[09:43] ---
    No problem.
[09:47] ---
    Because the only place where
    the Parasitic Insects' net was not complete
[09:51] ---
    was in this ten o'clock direction.
[09:57] ---
    Yeah, looks like we'll have to
    determine their objective.
[10:01] ---
    - Then, let's go.
    - No, hold on.
[10:04] ---
    What is it, Shino?!
[10:07] ---
    The Parasitic Insects are
    behaving strangely...
[10:09] ---
    It's as though they can't
    find their way out.
[10:12] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:13] ---
    How do I describe it...?
[10:15] ---
    The Parasitic Insects seem to
    have lost all of their senses
[10:17] ---
    and seem to be wandering aimlessly.
[10:19] ---
    Could it be some sort of Genjutsu?
[10:21] ---
    They didn't use anything
    except physical attacks.
[10:24] ---
    No, it's also possible that
    they simply chose not to use it on us.
[10:29] ---
    You mean they kept their secrets hidden?
[10:32] ---
    Hinata, check to see if
    there is a Sealing Jutsu or a barrier.
[10:36] ---
    Will do.
[10:37] ---
    Byakugan!
[10:51] ---
    What's the matter, Hinata?!
[10:52] ---
    Infinite...images...of us...
[10:57] ---
    The Byakugan was overcome?
[11:05] ---
    Crystal Style: Jade Crystal Mirror.
[11:16] ---
    Lovely as always...
    Jade Crystal Clone Jutsu.
[11:35] ---
    Seems they were sealed
    within some sort of barrier.
[11:39] ---
    We thought we had the enemy sealed off
    with the Parasitic Insects.
[11:42] ---
    But their outer perimeter was further off,
    is that it?
[11:47] ---
    The enemy!
[11:51] ---
    Scatter!
[12:09] ---
    Crystal Style: Jade Crystal Blade!
[12:40] ---
    So it's a Jutsu that crystallizes material...
[12:43] ---
    If it crystallizes the moisture in the air,
[12:46] ---
    *there are an infinite number
    of weapons to use for attacks.
[12:48] ---
    We can't let this battle draw out.
[12:53] ---
    Kakashi the Copy Ninja...
[12:56] ---
    So that's your Sharingan...
    But it's no use.
[13:00] ---
    My Crystal Style cannot be copied.
[13:11] ---
    It's no use! I can't use Byakugan.
[13:14] ---
    I hear you've got good eyes...
[13:17] ---
    But inside my Jade Crystal,
    light is refracted.
[13:21] ---
    Your good eyesight works against you.
[13:24] ---
    I have more than just Byakugan!
[13:30] ---
    You want to fight me face-to-face?
[13:33] ---
    What can you do with your eyes sealed?
[13:36] ---
    For a long time...
[13:38] ---
    *I've trained as hard I could
    so Naruto would acknowledge my ability.
[13:43] ---
    Are you that anxious to die?
[13:46] ---
    *I might not be at
    my cousin Neji's level, but I...
[13:51] ---
    Concentrate only on the enemy...
[14:07] ---
    Gentle Fist 8 Trigrams 32 Palms!
[14:13] ---
    8 Trigrams 2 Palms! 4 Palms!
[14:16] ---
    8 Palms!
[14:21] ---
    16 Palms!
[14:24] ---
    32 Palms!
[14:32] ---
    It worked!
[14:41] ---
    Crystal Style: Jade Crystal Prison!
[15:01] ---
    What's happening?!
[15:08] ---
    - What happened?
    - She just up and left.
[15:12] ---
    The same thing happened with me.
    Where's Hinata?
[15:15] ---
    Here's your friend.
[15:21] ---
    Hinata!
[15:23] ---
    Damn!
[15:30] ---
    What the heck is this?!
[15:33] ---
    Crystals...
[15:35] ---
    This is unmistakably the enemy's Jutsu.
    And it seems huge.
[15:41] ---
    - Sai!
    - Right! Gotcha.
[16:03] ---
    Just as I thought.
[16:05] ---
    I think it's about a kilometer across.
[16:07] ---
    One kilometer...
[16:09] ---
    It must be the work of
    someone very skilled.
[16:11] ---
    Let's break it down right away.
[16:13] ---
    Hold on a minute, Naruto.
    There's a kind of barrier here.
[16:17] ---
    We can't risk the possibility
    that it's been rigged somehow...
[16:29] ---
    It's okay. It doesn't react to
    an attack from outside.
[16:33] ---
    Kakashi Senpai and the others
    must be trapped inside.
[16:38] ---
    If they're only trapped inside, that's fine.
[16:40] ---
    But if there's a trap set up inside,
    this is going to be trouble.
[16:43] ---
    Captain Yamato,
    can't we bust down the wall
[16:47] ---
    the way we did when we snuck
    into Orochimaru's hideout?
[16:49] ---
    I'm afraid that this crystal possesses
[16:52] ---
    an extremely tight structure
    at the molecular level.
[16:57] ---
    Unlike the clay wall,
    there are no weak spots.
[17:02] ---
    But...if we went from underground...
[17:15] ---
    Even the ground itself is encased in crystal.
    There are no weak spots at all.
[17:20] ---
    It appears very strong.
[17:22] ---
    It doesn't look like we could break it
    with a Jutsu concentrated at one point.
[17:24] ---
    I agree...
[17:25] ---
    With something this large,
    the force would be dispersed equally,
[17:29] ---
    weakening the power of the attack.
[17:31] ---
    Yes. It would have to be
    a Jutsu that could do
[17:34] ---
    both widespread and powerful damage...
[17:36] ---
    - Sounds like fun!
    - You mustn't, Naruto!
[17:39] ---
    I'll be fine, Sakura.
    I won't use that Jutsu.
[17:44] ---
    Let me try out a Jutsu
    I've been working on!
[17:47] ---
    Naruto...
[17:55] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[17:59] ---
    - Yo!
    - We've been summoned!
[18:01] ---
    What? Summoning?
[18:03] ---
    Oh...you can do
    the Summoning Jutsu, Naruto?
[18:07] ---
    What are you going to do
    with Summoning Jutsu?
[18:10] ---
    Just watch and see!
[18:13] ---
    Here's what we're going to do!
[18:14] ---
    We haven't perfected it yet,
    but it's all we've got!
[18:22] ---
    Light sealed inside the Jade Crystal
    can never get out.
[18:26] ---
    Don't move!
[18:33] ---
    If you guys follow us around any longer,
[18:35] ---
    your friend will end up
    as shattered shards of light!
[18:43] ---
    I'm ready to go.
[18:45] ---
    Okay listen.
[18:46] ---
    Use the timing we worked on earlier
    to pour in the Chakra.
[18:49] ---
    Right.
[18:50] ---
    What are they going to do?
[18:53] ---
    Well, let's see what they've got.
[18:57] ---
    Let's do it, Gamatatsu!
[19:00] ---
    Inhale through the nose!
[19:04] ---
    Hold it in... then exhale it all at once!
[19:08] ---
    Now!
[19:15] ---
    Just as I thought, he's the top Ninja
    when it comes to doing the unexpected.
[19:18] ---
    What're you doing, Gamatatsu?!
[19:21] ---
    Sorry, I forgot to mold the Chakra...
[19:25] ---
    Come on!
    Or no snacks for you, Gamatatsu!
[19:27] ---
    Okay, get yourself together
    and we'll try it again!
[19:31] ---
    Mold Chakra in your stomach
    and inhale through the nose!
[19:38] ---
    Hold it in... then exhale it out all at once.
[19:41] ---
    Now!
[19:43] ---
    Wind Style: Toad Water Pistol!
[20:02] ---
    We did it!
[21:36] ---
    Naruto, was that...?
    
    
[21:39] ---
    It's the new Jutsu
    I made with the Pervy Sage.
    
    
[21:41] ---
    By the way, Senpai,
    looks like we're in a bad situation here.
    
    
[21:44] ---
    Yeah, as you can see,
    Hinata was taken as a hostage.
    
    
[21:48] ---
    Gamatatsu, can you do
    that one more time?
    
    
[21:51] ---
    Sure, but what're you gonna do?
    
    
[21:53] ---
    I have an idea. Let's go, Gamatatsu!
    
    
[21:56] ---
    Yeah!
    
    
[21:57] ---
    Wait, Naruto!
    
    
[21:58] ---
    Collaboration Ninjutsu!
    Wind Style: Toad Water Pistol!
    
[22:02] ---
    Next Time:
    "The Target Appears"
    
    
[22:07] ---
    It took me a long time to
    save up for this second-hand TV.
[22:10] ---
    I can't wait to watch
    Sakura's news program!
[22:15] ---
     On to the next topic...
[22:17] ---
    - We have an advisory.
    - There's Sakura!
[22:19] ---
    I'm sure all of you are aware...
    that we're going digital.
[22:22] ---
    Gi? Digi...?
[22:25] ---
    All analog broadcasts will end
    by July 24, 2011
[22:30] ---
    and every station will switch
    over to digital broadcasts.
[22:33] ---
    All of you currently
    watching on analog television sets
[22:35] ---
    will need to get digital tuners.
[22:38] ---
    Otherwise, you won't be
    able to watch any programs.
[22:40] ---
    What?!
[22:41] ---
    But when we switch over to digital,
[22:44] ---
    you'll be able to enjoy Naruto Shippuden
    with even better screen and audio clarity.
[22:49] ---
    - This is the power of the Jinchuriki.
    - Wow, that's amazing!
[22:53] ---
    So you've appeared Akatsuki!
    Eat this!
[22:55] ---
    - Rasengan!
    - Rasengan!
[22:57] ---
    *Please don't make a mistake and
    release a Rasengan at the monitor!
[23:01] ---
    Sakura... Your warning is too late.
    
    
[23:04] ---
