[00:03] ---
    What?!
[00:10] ---
    They broke the barrier.
    They're not bad.
[00:15] ---
    Guren...
[00:16] ---
    Huh? H-Hey!
[00:22] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[00:24] ---
    Humph! Back up, huh?
[00:26] ---
    Is everybody all right?
[00:28] ---
    Naruto, what was that...?
[00:29] ---
    That was Collaboration Ninjutsu with a toad.
    We learned it from Pervy Sage.
[00:33] ---
    Oh...!
[00:34] ---
    Now! It's my turn!
    You! There's nowhere to escape!
[00:40] ---
    Here comes that really loud guy!
[00:44] ---
    Hinata!
[00:47] ---
    You! What did you do to Hinata?!
[00:52] ---
    What are you going to do,
    Kakashi Sensei?!
[00:55] ---
    We can't attack them recklessly
    since Hinata has been taken hostage.
[00:59] ---
    Besides, any small shock will
    cause that crystal to shatter.
[01:05] ---
    What a mess.
[01:08] ---
    - Sai, wait for your chance...
    - You realize your situation,
[01:10] ---
    - to attack from the sky.
    - so just return to the Leaf!
[01:12] ---
    Right!
[01:13] ---
    - Gamatatsu, can you do that once more?
    - If you go back, I'll let this kid go.
[01:16] ---
    Yeah...just one more time...
[01:19] ---
    *I must control my Wind Chakra
    so Hinata won't get hurt.
[01:26] ---
    Freeze!
[01:27] ---
    - Now, Gamatatsu!
    - Stop, Naruto!
[01:28] ---
    Wind Style: Toad Water Pistol!
[01:35] ---
    What?!
[01:36] ---
    My Crystal Style can crystallize all materials.
[01:40] ---
    You need ten more years of experience
    before you can challenge me.
[01:44] ---
    Crystal Style: Burst Crystal Falling Dragon.
[01:49] ---
    Gamatatsu, run away!
[01:54] ---
    Is everyone safe?
[01:56] ---
    - Yes!
    - Yes!
[01:59] ---
    Damn it! What was that?!
[02:02] ---
    She crystallized your Jutsu
    and turned it into her own Jutsu.
[02:06] ---
    Listen, Naruto! I'll get her attention.
[02:09] ---
    You protect Hinata,
    then pull out from the battle!
[02:13] ---
    - What?!
    - Hinata's life is the top priority right now.
[02:17] ---
    Right.
[02:18] ---
    It's useless to hide.
    Don't forget I have a hostage!
[02:32] ---
    They seem to have given up.
[02:34] ---
    Let Hinata go.
    Take me as your hostage instead.
[02:38] ---
    What?!
[02:39] ---
    That's wishful thinking!
[02:48] ---
    Now, Naruto!
[02:49] ---
    Gamatatsu!
[02:55] ---
    I won't let you get away!
[03:04] ---
    Damn it! My clothes are so filthy now.
[03:08] ---
    Guren!
[03:10] ---
    - Are you all right?
    - Yeah...
[03:13] ---
    I'm relieved.
[03:16] ---
    I must say, they ran away rather quickly.
    Rinji, don't lose track of them!
[03:22] ---
    All right.
[04:53] ---
    The Target Appears
    
    
    

[04:59] ---
    All right, Gamatatsu,
    you can bring Hinata out now.
[05:04] ---
    Gamatatsu! Gently, gently!
[05:13] ---
    Gently, gently.
[05:17] ---
    Good! Just like that, slowly, slowly.
[05:22] ---
    Oh!
[05:24] ---
    A fly!
[05:26] ---
    Hinata!
[05:27] ---
    You fool! What are you doing, idiot?!
[05:31] ---
    Huh?!
[05:33] ---
    No! Stop! Please stop!
[05:36] ---
    Hinata!
[05:37] ---
    Hinata!
[05:42] ---
    It...stopped...
[05:44] ---
    Damn! We're too late...
[05:47] ---
    Pakkun!
[05:50] ---
    They finished analyzing
    Shino's Parasitic Insect.
[05:54] ---
    It appears the enemy's Jutsu
    was definitely the Crystal Style.
[05:57] ---
    Just as we suspected...
[05:59] ---
    And the analyst confirmed
[06:01] ---
    that several materials from the crystal
    encased the Parasitic Insect.
[06:05] ---
    It was true what she said about it
    crystallizing all materials.
[06:10] ---
    Sai's Super Beast Scroll was also crystallized.
    It's a troublesome Jutsu.
[06:15] ---
    Not only the Jutsu itself, but also its effects.
[06:20] ---
    - So, that means...
    - Right...
[06:23] ---
    They said that even the biological fluid
    of the Parasitic Insect was crystallized.
[06:26] ---
    What?! Then...
[06:28] ---
    And Hinata?
    Is Hinata all right, Kakashi Sensei?
[06:32] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[06:34] ---
    We should take her
    to the village immediately.
[06:37] ---
    I know! Grandma Tsunade!
    Grandma will help her.
[06:41] ---
    Calm down, Naruto!
[06:46] ---
    Hinata!
[06:55] ---
    Sakura...!
[06:57] ---
    Don't worry! She's alive.
[06:59] ---
    - Are you sure?
    - What a relief!
[07:01] ---
    Wow, that scared me...
[07:04] ---
    Idiot! How can you be so distracted
    by a mere fly?!
[07:07] ---
    Wha--?
[07:09] ---
    What's the matter, Shino?
[07:11] ---
    I was thinking about my Parasitic Insects...
[07:15] ---
    After it was defeated by
    the Crystal Style Jutsu,
[07:17] ---
    the insect shattered in my hand.
[07:21] ---
    And yet, Hinata survived...
[07:23] ---
    True. When we first encountered
    the Crystal Style, it shattered.
[07:32] ---
    I wonder what the insect that survived
    and Hinata have in common?
[07:38] ---
    I...
[07:39] ---
    Oh, don't move so soon.
[07:42] ---
    When I received the Jutsu...
[07:45] ---
    I released my Chakra from
    my Chakra Points all at once,
[07:48] ---
    to make a thin film in which
    to cover myself.
[07:54] ---
    I see. That's why, even her Crystal Style
    failed to crystallize Chakra.
[08:01] ---
    Although you faced the unexpected,
    you did a great job, Hinata.
[08:05] ---
    Right...
[08:07] ---
    Only a Hyuga family member could pull that off.
    Hinata, you're awesome!
[08:12] ---
    I'm glad you're okay.
[08:15] ---
    Sorry you had to worry about me, Naruto...
[08:19] ---
    You don't need to apologize.
[08:22] ---
    Naruto...
[08:25] ---
    Well, Senpai, what are we going to do now?
[08:29] ---
    Well... Let's see...
[08:33] ---
    I-I'm all right.
[08:36] ---
    Don't force yourself just yet.
[08:38] ---
    I think we were lucky because Hinata
    was the only victim of the Crystal Style...
[08:42] ---
    We don't have any countermeasures
    against the Crystal Style at this point,
[08:44] ---
    so retreating is the best option for now.
[08:47] ---
    But then, they'll get away!
[08:50] ---
    Right. Unless we stay on the look out,
    we'll lose them.
[08:55] ---
    It was so much trouble finding them.
[08:59] ---
    I'm afraid that if we let them go now,
    we'll never find them again...
[09:03] ---
    Then here's the plan.
[09:04] ---
    We have enough members,
    so let's split into two groups.
[09:08] ---
    Sai and Sakura, you two stand by here
    to wait for Hinata's recovery.
[09:12] ---
    - Right!
    - Right!
[09:13] ---
    The others will track them.
[09:15] ---
    But as they move,
    they're erasing their scent.
[09:19] ---
    It's impossible to track them,
    even for Akamaru.
[09:21] ---
    It looks like they're extremely cautious.
[09:24] ---
    Then how can we find someone
    that seems so impossible to track?
[09:28] ---
    We can use their monitoring bats.
[09:32] ---
    However, if we get too close to a bat,
    they'll find us first.
[09:36] ---
    So we should be very careful
    from this point on.
[09:39] ---
    I see...
[09:40] ---
    It's a pain, but we don't have a choice...
[09:43] ---
    I have something to add.
[09:45] ---
    We also should be careful about the
    Crystal Style barrier which Naruto just broke.
[09:50] ---
    Even if you find them, don't attack.
    After all, our goal is to investigate them.
[09:58] ---
    - Understood!
    - Understood!
[10:00] ---
    Then we're going home.
[10:03] ---
    We'll see you the next time
    we need your help.
[10:05] ---
    I'm going home too, Kakashi.
[10:08] ---
    Good work today, Pakkun.
[10:12] ---
    - See you!
    - Good bye!
[10:17] ---
    Then let's go, everyone!
[10:41] ---
    Guren!
[10:43] ---
    Is everything all right?
[10:46] ---
    I ran into someone I know.
[10:48] ---
    What?
[10:49] ---
    Who was that?
[10:50] ---
    The man with the headband.
[10:52] ---
    Headband?
[10:54] ---
    Could it be the guy we just met?
[10:56] ---
    How do you know about him?
[10:59] ---
    Well... That's right!
[11:01] ---
    When I went out with Kabuto the other day,
    I met him.
[11:05] ---
    The man said he has a place to return to.
[11:08] ---
    And he asked me to return with him,
    but I didn't.
[11:14] ---
    Because I thought that was not
    the kind of place where I could return to.
[11:18] ---
    Was that just coincidence?
[11:19] ---
    I think so. Because there's no way
    they saw us and this kid together.
[11:25] ---
    Well, what should we do, Guren?
[11:27] ---
    There can only be one answer.
[11:30] ---
    Good boy, thanks for coming back.
[11:32] ---
    It's not them to whom you return,
    but to me.
[11:37] ---
    Yeah.
[11:38] ---
    But if he's your friend,
    I want to say hello to him.
[11:43] ---
    Where did you see him?
[11:45] ---
    Are you going to track them?
[11:47] ---
    Yes.
[11:48] ---
    Once I decide to go after something,
    I stick with it.
[11:51] ---
    That's the way I do things.
[11:53] ---
    Guren, that's a bad habit.
[11:57] ---
    Kabuto!
[11:58] ---
    - It's easy for you to go overboard.
    -What?!
[12:03] ---
    I hope you have some remorse.
[12:05] ---
    Based on the story I just heard,
[12:07] ---
    I think you were very lucky that
    they didn't take Yuukimaru away.
[12:10] ---
    If you lose Yuukimaru...
[12:15] ---
    Guren, you'll lose credibility
    with Lord Orochimaru.
[12:25] ---
    Sorry, but you guys must stay here
[12:27] ---
    and watch out for the guys
    from the Hidden Leaf.
[12:30] ---
    We don't want any distractions.
[12:33] ---
    What?! We can't come with you?!
[12:36] ---
    Rinji, this time just follow
    what Kabuto says!
[12:40] ---
    All right. If you say so, Guren...
[12:44] ---
    Sorry...
[12:46] ---
    Let's go.
[12:55] ---
    From now on,
    the fewer people, the better.
[13:00] ---
    Is there something that
    you don't want us to see?
[13:03] ---
    Well, there's something
    you don't see very often.
[13:07] ---
    Just wait until you see it.
[13:13] ---
    What's the matter?
[13:15] ---
    Kabuto... I have a bad feeling...
[13:19] ---
    When I took the medicine,
    my head really hurt.
[13:22] ---
    Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong.
[13:26] ---
    When something happens,
    Guren will protect you.
[13:30] ---
    - Really?
    - Y-Yeah. That's true.
[13:42] ---
    Damn it! We shouldn't have taken
    our eyes off them, even for a moment!
[13:48] ---
    We have to start tracking them
    all over again!
[13:51] ---
    Because of the bats,
    we can't move freely!
[13:55] ---
    We have no choice.
    Shall we try it the risky way?
[14:02] ---
    Shino, do you have an idea?
[14:05] ---
    Let's change our way of thinking.
[14:07] ---
    Not wanting the bats to find us
    is a problem.
[14:11] ---
    But if we assume the bats will find us,
    we can take advantage of them.
[14:16] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
[14:19] ---
    The supersonic waves of the bats
    won't work far away.
[14:22] ---
    When the bats sense our presence,
    how do they report it to the enemy?
[14:28] ---
    Oh, I get it now!
[14:31] ---
    Now that you mention it, you're right.
[14:33] ---
    Good work figuring it out, Shino.
[14:36] ---
    H-Hold on!
    Does everyone understand?
[14:39] ---
    Who doesn't understand?
    We're all Chunin and Jonin.
[14:45] ---
    Oops! There's one Genin.
[14:48] ---
    You, are you trying to pick a fight?!
    Fine! I understand, too!
[14:54] ---
    Really?
[14:56] ---
    Let's get back to what
    we were talking about.
[14:58] ---
    So, what should we do?
[15:00] ---
    Let's try it!
[15:01] ---
    Naruto, make three Shadow Clones,
[15:04] ---
    line them up ten meters away
    from each other
[15:06] ---
    and have them run around the grounds!
[15:08] ---
    But if I do that...
[15:10] ---
    Hurry up!
[15:11] ---
    I know!
[15:14] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[15:20] ---
    But won't the bats' radar detect us
    if I do this?!
[15:24] ---
    - That's what we want!
    - What?
[15:32] ---
    I found them! That must be it!
[15:34] ---
    Because there's no reason
    for the bats to be flying around
[15:37] ---
    during the daytime without
    a good reason.
[15:39] ---
    All right! Let's go, everyone!
[15:41] ---
    By the way,
    why are we following the bats?
[15:44] ---
    Duh! See, you don't understand, do you?!
[15:49] ---
    Those bats will return to their hideout
    to let them know they've found us!
[15:54] ---
    Um...?
[15:55] ---
    That means, if we follow them,
    we'll find where the enemy is hiding.
[15:59] ---
    Oh, I get it!
[16:02] ---
    Good grief! You're still no good.
[16:05] ---
    Humph! Stop being so bossy,
    just because you're a Chunin!
[16:11] ---
    Take this!
[16:17] ---
    That stinks!
[16:19] ---
    Heh, heh! Look at yourself!
[16:28] ---
    *Every time I come to this place,
    I feel really weird...
[16:31] ---
    What are you going to do here?
[16:33] ---
    Well... I'll perform a little test.
[16:37] ---
    With him and...Guren.
[16:43] ---
    Here, put this on.
[17:01] ---
    If you give him that much medicine...!
[17:03] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    Are you trying to disrupt
    Lord Orochimaru's plan?
[17:09] ---
    I really must have you for this mission.
[17:15] ---
    In fact, you're the only one who can do it.
[17:19] ---
    Only me?
[17:22] ---
    Then perhaps, I may want to reconsider...
[17:28] ---
    who is the best suited to become my vessel.
[17:37] ---
    Don't worry. Let's start something fun.
[17:44] ---
    This medicine is different from
    what you took before.
[17:46] ---
    This medicine won't bring you
    any suffering.
[17:49] ---
    You can't go back until you take this.
[18:02] ---
    Guren, it's your turn.
[18:05] ---
    Stop being so bossy all the time!
[18:09] ---
    Crystal Style:
    Jade Crystal Hexagonal Column!
[18:23] ---
    Oh!
[18:44] ---
    What? What is going to happen?
[19:18] ---
    What is this...?
[19:20] ---
    Be careful! It's coming!
[19:22] ---
    It's coming?
[19:41] ---
    The test was successful!
[19:43] ---
    It'll appear!
[19:44] ---
    What will appear?!
[19:46] ---
    A Tailed Beast.
[19:48] ---
    Tailed Beast...?
[19:57] ---
    This is the Three-Tailed Beast.
[21:37] ---
    What's that feeling...?
    
    
[21:39] ---
    What's the matter, Shino?
    
    
[21:40] ---
    My insects...feel a weird Chakra.
    
    
[21:43] ---
    Weird Chakra?
    
    
[21:45] ---
    They've never felt so much Chakra before.
    
    
[21:50] ---
    It looks like Akamaru feels
    the same thing as your insects!
    
    
[21:54] ---
    What's going on over there?!
    
    
[21:57] ---
    Let's hurry, we'll go straight through!
    
    
[22:00] ---
    Next Time:
    "The Rampaging Tailed Beast"
    
    
    
[22:14] ---
    Wh-What're these? Cancer cells?
[22:18] ---
    - Ah! Sorry.
    - What...?!

[22:27] ---
    - Ahem! I put on some weight.
    - I gained weight, too.
[22:32] ---
    My weight hasn't changed much...
[22:35] ---
    Why are you comparing them?
[22:38] ---
    Shino?
[22:39] ---
    Oh! Hey, you still have your clothes on...
[22:42] ---
    It doesn't matter how heavy my clothes are...
[22:44] ---
    because I can control my weight,
    depending on how many insects I have.
[22:52] ---
    Wow, it's so convenient.
[22:56] ---
    56.6 kg... Not bad for today.
[23:00] ---
    - You don't need...
    - a scale!
[23:04] ---
    To be continued
