[00:01] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:40] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:57] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:05] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:24] ---
    Our two hearts
[02:55] ---
    –Monju. –Yes, sir.
[03:17] ---
    Darn, didn’t know there was a kid here.
[03:19] ---
    I’ll do it.
[03:21] ---
    Okay, it’s in your hands, Gantetsu.
[03:37] ---
    Okay. Let’s pull out!
[03:40] ---
    Set this place on fire!
[03:43] ---
    Don’t leave any evidence.
[04:12] ---
    The Enemy: Ninja Dropouts
[04:22] ---
    Wait up!
[04:24] ---
    Over here! You’re it. Try catching me!
[04:27] ---
    Darn…
[04:29] ---
    –Yeah! –This way! This way!
[04:31] ---
    I said wait!
[04:38] ---
    Lady Tsunade…
[04:40] ---
    With regard to the next request…
[04:42] ---
    What, there’s more?
[04:44] ---
    Yes.
[04:46] ---
    Boy oh boy…
[04:48] ---
    This is the last one
    so please try to focus.
[04:51] ---
    All right.
[04:55] ---
    When the weather continues
    to be warm like this…
[04:58] ---
    And what’s the request?
[05:00] ---
    About the escort for the convoy with
    the fugitive who was secured…
[05:04] ---
    What about it,
    that’s hardly a difficult mission.
[05:08] ---
    Well, actually there’s a bit
    of a problem.
[05:11] ---
    Please look at this.
[05:15] ---
    I see. This is somewhat of
    a nuisance.
[05:19] ---
    All of the Jonin are out
    on S-rank missions,
[05:22] ---
    and 90% of the main Chunin and Genin
    have been allocated elsewhere.
[05:27] ---
    Who’s left?
[05:28] ---
    Let’s see…well…
[05:36] ---
    Multi-Clone Jutsu!
[05:50] ---
    Let’s go, Bushy Brows!
[06:07] ---
    Here goes, Naruto!
[06:12] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[06:15] ---
    You jerk!
[06:17] ---
    Another serving of
    Shadow Clones for you!
[06:25] ---
    You ain’t seen nothing yet!
[06:34] ---
    You let your guard down!
[06:45] ---
    Pretty good, Bushy Brow…
[06:48] ---
    The same to you, Naruto…
[06:49] ---
    Naruto! Lee!
[07:10] ---
    Hey, are you guys all right?
[07:17] ---
    Hey, stop moving.
[07:19] ---
    Sakura, can’t you be
    a little more gentle?
[07:22] ---
    Shut your mouth.
    Really, you’re being reckless.
[07:26] ---
    That’s not true, Sakura.
[07:28] ---
    See, the 100-man
    Shadow Clone grapples
[07:30] ---
    are excellent training
    for enhancing one’s Taijutsu skills.
[07:34] ---
    It’s like killing two birds with
    one stone for Naruto, too
[07:37] ---
    because this kind of friendly training
    lets him polish
[07:39] ---
    his Shadow Clone skills
    at the same time.
[07:41] ---
    That’s exactly right.
[07:43] ---
    What are you talking about?
    All you’re doing is slugging it out.
[07:47] ---
    This is what ends up happening
    when two guys get together.
[07:50] ---
    That’s right.
[07:54] ---
    Anyway, this isn’t the time to be
    acting carefree like that.
[07:58] ---
    Lady Tsunade is calling for you.
[08:00] ---
    Grandma Tsunade?
[08:01] ---
    What does she want?
[08:06] ---
    Ninja Dropouts?
[08:08] ---
    Yeah. Ninja Dropouts are
[08:10] ---
    Rogue Ninja who,
    of their own free will,
[08:12] ---
    choose not to be Shinobi and leave
    their respective villages to join up.
[08:16] ---
    They’re a gang of thieves who use brutal
    and villainous means to steal.
[08:20] ---
    That’s horrible…using their abilities
    as Ninja for criminal purposes.
[08:24] ---
    That’s unforgivable.
[08:26] ---
    One of their members was
    captured yesterday
[08:29] ---
    in Ogi Pass
    in the Land of Forests.
[08:31] ---
    This guy is the only member
[08:32] ---
    whose wanted notice is
    circling around the lands.
[08:36] ---
    He was found wandering about
    and taken prisoner.
[08:39] ---
    His name is Gantetsu.
[08:44] ---
    For a former Ninja,
    that’s pretty lame.
[08:46] ---
    Gantesu is being taken to
    the capital city of the Land of Forests
[08:49] ---
    in order to do an exhaustive investigation
    into this matter
[08:52] ---
    for the purpose of wiping out
    the Ninja Dropouts…
[08:55] ---
    However, there is a possibility
    that the Ninja Dropouts will try
[08:57] ---
    to rescue him along the way…
[08:59] ---
    A police escort has been sent
    from the capital
[09:02] ---
    so it is fully prepared for the convoy.
[09:05] ---
    But since the opponents are ex-Ninja,
[09:07] ---
    the idea is that Shinobi would be
    the best countermeasure for Shinobi,
[09:09] ---
    so they requested that the Leaf Village
    also send out some Ninja.
[09:12] ---
    That’s what this request is all about.
[09:14] ---
    I’m getting excited! I’ll show ‘em
    how great Leaf Ninja are!
[09:18] ---
    –Got it!
    –Let’s give it a shot!
[09:21] ---
    All right! Naruto Uzumaki,
    Sakura Haruno, Rock Lee.
[09:25] ---
    The three of you are assigned
    to the mission
[09:27] ---
    of guarding the Gantetsu convoy!
[09:29] ---
    –Yes, ma’am! –Roger!
[09:37] ---
    Look, the harbor.
[09:47] ---
    Huh… So they’re gonna
    transport him in this.
[09:50] ---
    The only way to get to the capital
    of the Land of Forests is
[09:53] ---
    to go up this river.
[09:56] ---
    Hey, look over there.
[10:02] ---
    That’s…
[10:03] ---
    The Ninja Dropout, Gantetsu.
[10:06] ---
    Are you the Leaf Ninja?
[10:07] ---
    Yes. Uh, and who are you?
[10:10] ---
    I’m Tsuzumi with the police department.
[10:12] ---
    I’m supervising this convoy.
[10:14] ---
    My name is Naruto Uzumaki.
[10:16] ---
    This guy here’s Bushy Brows and
    her name is Sakura Haruno.
[10:21] ---
    Hmmm… You guys are still kids…
    Are you really Ninja?
[10:27] ---
    We sure are.
[10:28] ---
    Huh, we might not look it,
[10:30] ---
    but we’re all full-fledged Ninja who’ve
    been tested by fire numerous times.
[10:34] ---
    We’ll display our skills for you
    at some point.
[10:38] ---
    Just leave it to us.
[10:39] ---
    Well, I have a strong team of
    experts handling security,
[10:43] ---
    but if it ever comes to that,
[10:45] ---
    I’m counting on you to use
    your specialty, Ninjutsu.
[10:47] ---
    Got it.
[10:49] ---
    Those are the security personnel
    guarding the prisoner.
[10:57] ---
    They’re all dressed alike, aren’t they?
[10:59] ---
    Huh, they don’t have much style.
[11:02] ---
    Naruto, that’s rude.
[11:11] ---
    Captain Todoroki!
[11:12] ---
    What is it, Commander Tsuzumi?
[11:15] ---
    These people came from
[11:16] ---
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves
    as reinforcements.
[11:18] ---
    The name’s Naruto Uzumaki.
[11:20] ---
    I’m Sakura Haruno.
[11:21] ---
    My name is Rock Lee.
[11:25] ---
    Commander, I told you already.
[11:27] ---
    We already have enough security on this.
[11:30] ---
    Can’t be helped.
    lt’s something the bosses decided.
[11:34] ---
    There won’t be any role for
    you guys to play.
[11:37] ---
    We will guard Gantetsu.
[11:39] ---
    I promise that on this sword.
[11:43] ---
    Huh… That sword’s nothing.
[11:45] ---
    Snapping that thing in half would be
    as easy as apple pie.
[11:49] ---
    Yeah, with just one finger.
[11:50] ---
    Stop it, you guys!
    Please excuse them…
[11:54] ---
    Be careful not to get seasick.
[11:57] ---
    Well, I leave it to you.
[11:59] ---
    Y-Yes, sir. Thanks.
[12:07] ---
    Gantetsu…
[12:10] ---
    All right…
[12:11] ---
    Put the cage into the belly of the ship!
[12:13] ---
    Okay…Okay…
[12:19] ---
    Okay, lower it!
[12:47] ---
    Wow…
[12:48] ---
    This feels great!
[13:23] ---
    What the heck is this anyway?
[13:25] ---
    They won’t let us even get near him.
[13:27] ---
    They’re totally treating us like nuisances.
[13:30] ---
    If only those Ninja Dropout guys
    would launch an attack,
[13:32] ---
    we could show them how awesome
    we are.
[13:35] ---
    Don’t say stupid things like that.
[13:37] ---
    The best scenario would be that
    the Ninja Dropout won’t show up at all.
[13:40] ---
    Our mission is to transport Gantetsu
    safely to the capital, you know.
[13:45] ---
    But this is getting too boring…
    there’s no thrill to it.
[13:50] ---
    Better just grin and bear it.
[13:51] ---
    There are missions like this too.
[13:52] ---
    Well, I sure understand
    how you feel, Naruto.
[13:56] ---
    Yeah… I guess this is getting
    a little boring.
[14:31] ---
    Dig in…
[14:36] ---
    Gimme a break…
[14:38] ---
    Who do those guys think we are?
[14:40] ---
    But this stuff is pretty good.
[14:42] ---
    Yeah, very tasty.
[14:44] ---
    It makes me so mad…
[14:48] ---
    I mean, why did we go to all
    the trouble of coming all this way?
[14:56] ---
    I’m gonna do my mission.
[14:57] ---
    Gonna stand guard over Gantetsu.
[14:59] ---
    But the captain’s gonna scold you.
[15:02] ---
    I’m doing this out of Ninja pride!
[15:05] ---
    Uh, Naruto!
[15:06] ---
    Naruto!
[15:27] ---
    He does have the face of
    a criminal after all.
[15:37] ---
    Todoroki?
[15:39] ---
    What the heck is he doing here?
[15:46] ---
    Akio…!
[15:59] ---
    Damn!
[16:04] ---
    Father! Mother!
[16:19] ---
    Akio…
[16:25] ---
    Akio!
[16:53] ---
    Damn!
[16:59] ---
    Akio…!
[17:03] ---
    I will avenge your death right now!
[17:19] ---
    Oh!
[17:20] ---
    What the heck are you doing?!
[17:23] ---
    Are you in your right mind?
[17:28] ---
    What was it you were about
    to do just now?!
[17:44] ---
    Ninja Art: Crimson Mud.
[18:14] ---
    Oh?
[18:15] ---
    What’s the matter, Sakura?
[18:17] ---
    Lee, over there.
[18:25] ---
    That’s strange…
[18:26] ---
    I’ve never knew this river has a tributary.
[18:31] ---
    Why are you in here?
[18:34] ---
    Why does that matter?
[18:36] ---
    What were you about to do to Gantetsu!?
[18:40] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:42] ---
    It looked to me like
    you were going to kill him.
[18:44] ---
    Huh? Me?
    That’s a stupid thing to say.
[18:48] ---
    It’s my mission to guard this guy.
    Why would I?!
[18:52] ---
    Yeah, I guess.
[18:53] ---
    Even if he is a criminal,
[18:55] ---
    you can’t just kill him off
    without interrogating him first.
[18:59] ---
    A brat talking like he knows, huh?
[19:02] ---
    There isn’t any need to interrogate him!
[19:04] ---
    This is the guy who did it!
[19:05] ---
    Huh?
[19:07] ---
    This guy…
[19:08] ---
    These guys…slaughtered a lot of people
    without mercy…
[19:14] ---
    Even innocent children.
[19:24] ---
    If things continue like this,
    we’ll be sucked into the tributary…
[19:27] ---
    What should we do?!
[19:35] ---
    Ninja Art: Link and Slay.
[19:59] ---
    What the heck?!
[20:01] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[20:07] ---
    Th-The ship’s been sliced in half…
[20:16] ---
    Naruto!
[20:17] ---
    Naruto!
[20:27] ---
    You jerk!
[20:31] ---
    It’s them! The Ninja Dropouts!
[20:34] ---
    So they showed up after all…
[20:40] ---
    Gantetsu…
[20:48] ---
    Reinforcements, huh?!
[20:49] ---
    Hey, who are you guys anyway!
[20:53] ---
    The head of the Ninja Dropouts,
    Shura, on the scene!
[21:00] ---
    Ninja Dropouts…
[21:01] ---
    We’ll take Gantetsu…
[21:04] ---
    I’m not about to let that happen!
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:54] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:59] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:38] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:51] ---
    Lee, are you all right?
[22:52] ---
    Yes, somehow.
    More importantly, what happened?
[22:55] ---
    I don’t know.
[22:57] ---
    Only thing I know is that after
    that huge crash,
[22:59] ---
    suddenly the ship was sliced in two…
[23:00] ---
    I see.
[23:02] ---
    Well then, we need to confirm everyone’s
    safety for the moment…
[23:04] ---
    Well…
[23:06] ---
    What’s wrong, Sakura?
[23:07] ---
    I can’t find the prisoner, Gantetsu,
    Captain Todoroki, and Naruto.

    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:40] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:57] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:05] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:24] ---
    Our two hearts
[01:43] ---
    Who are you guys?
[01:45] ---
    They want to fight, it seems.
[01:58] ---
    I won’t be fooled. You…you…
[02:15] ---
    Todoroki!
[02:23] ---
    Stop it, Todoroki!
[02:25] ---
    You said you were going to deliver
    Gantetsu to the capital, right?
[02:30] ---
    This guy… There’s no way
    I’ll forgive this guy!
[02:34] ---
    What are you talking about?
[02:36] ---
    This guy…killed my family…
    he killed my little brother!
[02:44] ---
    Wh-What was that…?
[02:50] ---
    Gantetsu killed your family?
[02:53] ---
    Yeah.
[02:57] ---
    Five years ago.
[03:00] ---
    I’m positive that
    this is the guy I saw.
[03:13] ---
    Fire…!
[03:20] ---
    Oh!
[03:24] ---
    This is horrible…
[03:25] ---
    Is anybody still inside?
[03:34] ---
    Damn!
[03:40] ---
    Father! Mother!
[03:54] ---
    Akio.
[04:00] ---
    Akio!
[04:04] ---
    Memory of Flames
[04:36] ---
    Akio…
[05:02] ---
    Todoroki, I found out who
    attacked your family.
[05:06] ---
    Really?
[05:09] ---
    A gang of bandits called
    the Ninja Dropouts.
[05:11] ---
    Ninja Dropouts?
[05:14] ---
    They’re ruthless…
    Evil personified…
[05:18] ---
    When they rob the victims
    of money and valuables…
[05:20] ---
    They massacre everyone in that house.
[05:22] ---
    Why?
[05:24] ---
    So as not to leave any witnesses behind.
[05:35] ---
    The bodies of your parents
    were found but…
[05:38] ---
    The fire spread quickly and
    Akio was still small so…
[05:43] ---
    Probably nothing of him remained.
[05:46] ---
    I’m sorry, but you need to
    let your little brother go…
[05:50] ---
    That’s impossible.
[05:52] ---
    I can't do that.
[06:08] ---
    Damn it!
[06:20] ---
    It’s ironic, isn’t it…
[06:21] ---
    When I finally find the killer
    of my parents and little brother…
[06:26] ---
    My mission…forces me
    to escort him to the capital.
[06:31] ---
    Todoroki.
[06:33] ---
    I’m a full-fledged police officer now.
    I’m not a spring chicken!
[06:38] ---
    I didn’t mean to bring
    my personal grudges onto the job…
[06:42] ---
    This guy will eventually
    be sentenced to death…
[06:45] ---
    That thought has allowed me to endure.
[06:48] ---
    But, right now,
    right in front of my eyes…
[06:50] ---
    The same face in the flame…
    The face that killed my little brother!
[06:56] ---
    Your…little brother?!
[06:58] ---
    Die, Gantetsu!
[07:05] ---
    –Don’t get in my way!
    –Stop!
[07:07] ---
    He’s a thug who’s killed
    countless innocent people.
[07:12] ---
    It’s your mission to deliver Gantetsu
    to the capital, right?!
[07:16] ---
    It doesn’t matter!
    He killed my little brother!
[07:20] ---
    It may be true that Gantetsu is evil, but…
[07:24] ---
    You can’t do that…
[07:26] ---
    There’s nobody watching…
[07:29] ---
    That’s right, here in the middle
    of this forest.
[07:31] ---
    H-Hey, Todoroki?
[07:33] ---
    Nobody’s watching…
    There’s no way they’ll know.
[07:37] ---
    Todoroki… I said, calm down!
    I’m telling you, I’m watching!
[07:41] ---
    No, nobody’s watching…
[07:44] ---
    Todoroki!
[07:46] ---
    As long as you keep your mouth shut…
[07:49] ---
    No… Better yet, if you weren’t around…
[07:53] ---
    Wait a second!
[07:55] ---
    What the heck are you thinking?
    Calm down!
[07:58] ---
    I'm extremely calm.
[08:01] ---
    You too must…
[08:03] ---
    It can’t be helped…
[08:05] ---
    If things come to this,
    I guess I have no choice but to fight!
[08:11] ---
    What’s the matter?
[08:13] ---
    Why don’t you just come
    right out and fight?!
[08:15] ---
    You guys, too! Why don’t you stop hiding?
    Come out and show yourselves!
[08:22] ---
    Huh?
[08:23] ---
    Y-You guys are…
[08:25] ---
    Stop bullying Gantetsu!
[08:27] ---
    Give Gantetsu back!
[08:29] ---
    What is this?
[08:30] ---
    I have no idea…
    Who the heck are they?
[08:33] ---
    Everybody!
[08:37] ---
    W-Wait a minute…
[08:39] ---
    How are you connected
    to Gantetsu…?
[08:46] ---
    Stop that!
[08:47] ---
    Let’s get out of here!
[08:55] ---
    Calm down.
[08:56] ---
    We should be able to
    understand each other
[08:57] ---
    if we just try to talk things over.
[08:59] ---
    You guys aren’t Shinobi, are you?!
[09:02] ---
    It’s dangerous for amateurs
    to hold blades!
[09:04] ---
    Lee, what are we gonna do?
[09:06] ---
    This is a problem…
[09:08] ---
    ‘Cause if our opponents are amateurs,
    we can’t go all out…
[09:15] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[09:25] ---
    Damn it! Let go of me!
[09:28] ---
    I need to avenge the deaths
    of my family…and my little brother!
[09:33] ---
    Calm down!
[09:35] ---
    Calm down and think about
    this whole thing again!
[09:38] ---
    Your…little brother?
[09:41] ---
    Don’t be stupid, Gantetsu…
    Don’t come over here right now!
[09:49] ---
    Gantetsu!
[10:05] ---
    What's going on?!
[10:09] ---
    Damn it, I can’t move!
[10:12] ---
    It’s futile.
[10:15] ---
    That string is stronger than steel.
[10:17] ---
    There’s no way you’ll be able
    to cut through it
[10:19] ---
    with human strength alone.
[10:21] ---
    Who the heck are you?
[10:24] ---
    I’m Monju, a Ninja Dropout.
[10:28] ---
    Ninja Dropout you said?
[10:30] ---
    I, Monju will take Gantetsu.
[10:33] ---
    As long as I have him,
    I have no more business with you guys.
[10:38] ---
    Those nets will shrink
    as the temperature rises.
[10:41] ---
    So you’ll suffer till the end.
[10:43] ---
    In half an hour or so…
[10:46] ---
    It will cut you into pieces.
[10:53] ---
    Farewell!
[10:55] ---
    Todoroki!
[10:59] ---
    Gantetsu!
[11:07] ---
    Damn it… I’m not about to die
    in a place like this.
[11:16] ---
    Our mission is to deliver
    Gantetsu to the capital…
[11:21] ---
    Are you an idiot ?
    Take a good look at this situation!
[11:24] ---
    We’ll be goners before that happens.
[11:27] ---
    I don’t believe that those Ninja Dropouts
    are Gantetsu’s comrades.
[11:32] ---
    Gantetsu was telling the truth.
    Those guys might kill Gantetsu.
[11:39] ---
    That’s why I should have killed him
    with my own hands!
[11:41] ---
    But remember, that guy was
    calling out your name to the very end!
[11:44] ---
    So what’s up with that?!
[11:46] ---
    There must be something
    he wanted to tell you!
[11:49] ---
    I don’t want to hear
    any excuses from a thug!
[11:53] ---
    I find it hard to believe that
    Gantetsu’s that evil a guy.
[11:57] ---
    What was that?!
[11:58] ---
    I’m telling you,
    I’m not about to kick the bucket
[12:02] ---
    until I’ve heard what Gantetsu
    wanted to say!
[12:15] ---
    Stop it!
[12:18] ---
    Hey, I’m positive we can work
    things out if we just talk.
[12:22] ---
    Shut up!
[12:23] ---
    Wait. Let’s stop this.
[12:27] ---
    I just assumed you were a Ninja Dropout,
    because you’re a Ninja.
[12:29] ---
    We’re Shinobi from the Leaf Village.
[12:32] ---
    We were called here to be
    part of the police escort
[12:34] ---
    taking Gantetsu to the capital.
[12:36] ---
    Please spare Gantetsu.
[12:38] ---
    That can’t happen.
[12:41] ---
    Gantetsu saved us from
    the Ninja Dropouts.
[12:44] ---
    Saved you?
[12:46] ---
    Who in the world are you guys?
[12:49] ---
    We’re all kids whose families
    were killed by the Ninja Dropouts.
[12:55] ---
    But Gantetsu secretly rescued us
[12:58] ---
    because he wanted to save
    at least the children…
[13:00] ---
    What was that?!
[13:03] ---
    Gantetsu took care of all of us kids
    who had become orphans…
[13:24] ---
    Gantetsu.
[13:33] ---
    Is it the Ninja Dropouts again?
[13:36] ---
    I’m sorry.
[13:41] ---
    Where am I?
[13:42] ---
    So you woke up.
[13:45] ---
    Mother…? Father…?
[13:49] ---
    Where’s Mother?
[13:52] ---
    You poor thing…
    But we’re all in the same boat.
[13:56] ---
    You’re not alone…
    We’re here for you…
[14:00] ---
    We’re your new family.
[14:10] ---
    I’m leaving the Ninja Dropouts!
[14:13] ---
    I can’t stand this any longer.
[14:16] ---
    I can’t commit robberies with
    those guys anymore.
[14:20] ---
    But if you don’t,
    they’ll kill you, Gantetsu.
[14:24] ---
    I’ll steal their money.
[14:26] ---
    Huh?
[14:27] ---
    And I’ll get myself captured
    by the police.
[14:29] ---
    Come on…
[14:31] ---
    If I do that,
[14:32] ---
    they’ll show up in front of
    the prison to try to get me back.
[14:36] ---
    That’s the only way
    they can be captured.
[14:38] ---
    Are you saying you’re gonna
    be a decoy…?
[14:41] ---
    It's so that there won’t be
    any more victims.
[14:44] ---
    This is my only choice.
[14:47] ---
    Gantetsu really did steal their money
    and was captured by the police.
[14:53] ---
    We came to this forest
[14:54] ---
    because we were worried
    about Gantetsu’s safety.
[14:58] ---
    We were praying that the Ninja Dropouts
    would get caught. However…
[15:03] ---
    So Gantetsu reformed himself
[15:05] ---
    and betrayed the Ninja Dropouts, right?
[15:08] ---
    We have to do something about
    the real evil, the Ninja Dropouts!
[15:12] ---
    I don’t really care about
    the Ninja Dropouts right now.
[15:15] ---
    What’s important is that
    we rescue Gantetsu.
[15:18] ---
    I’m guessing that Gantetsu
    is with Naruto.
[15:22] ---
    Don’t worry because he won’t have
    been captured by the Ninja Dropouts.
[15:27] ---
    Okay, let’s believe that.
[15:37] ---
    Damn…
[15:49] ---
    If things continue like this,
    we’ll turn into dried fish.
[16:02] ---
    Huh?
[16:04] ---
    H-Hey… It loosens up a little
    when sweat soaks into it.
[16:08] ---
    What?
[16:09] ---
    Are you serious?
[16:18] ---
    Oh, you’re right.
[16:20] ---
    Yeah, I know…
[16:32] ---
    What?!
[16:37] ---
    I’m used to its venom.
    lt’s nothing.
[16:47] ---
    I find it hard to believe
    that Gantetsu’s that evil a guy.
[16:53] ---
    I’m gonna meet up with Gantetsu
    one more time
[16:55] ---
    and find out for myself,
    no matter what it takes…
[16:58] ---
    That’s right…
    I need to see Gantetsu again, too.
[17:04] ---
    I will then avenge the deaths
    of my family…and of my little brother.
[17:23] ---
    We did it!
[17:25] ---
    That was a narrow escape!
[17:27] ---
    All right… Let’s hurry up and
    rescue Gantetsu!
[17:34] ---
    Yeah… I will find him no matter what
    and I'll cut him down!
[17:42] ---
    Huh?
[17:51] ---
    –Gantetsu. –Huh?
[17:53] ---
    That’s definitely Gantetsu.
[17:55] ---
    Those guys are…
[18:00] ---
    I-Idiot…
[18:06] ---
    –Gantetsu! –Gantetsu!
[18:07] ---
    Gantetsu!
[18:11] ---
    That’s as far as you’ll go, kid.
[18:14] ---
    That guy is…
[18:15] ---
    Don’t tell me he’s a Ninja Dropout?!
[18:19] ---
    Good answer.
[18:21] ---
    I’m Monju, a Ninja Dropout.
[18:23] ---
    Give Gantetsu back!
[18:24] ---
    I’m not forgiving you for this!
[18:27] ---
    Hey, hey…
[18:28] ---
    Who are these little brats?
[18:30] ---
    Perhaps they’re inexperienced
    in the ways of the world, but…
[18:32] ---
    to tell me to give Gantetsu back…
[18:36] ---
    Give us back what we want.
    That’s our line, right?
[18:40] ---
    Who the heck are you guys?
[18:42] ---
    You Ninja Dropout jerks…
[18:44] ---
    We are avenging our families’ deaths!
[18:46] ---
    What?!
[18:56] ---
    You brats just stay quiet.
[18:58] ---
    Damn it!
[19:00] ---
    Stop! Monju! Let that kid go!
[19:03] ---
    It looks like you don’t quite comprehend
    the position you’re in right now, huh?!
[19:06] ---
    And moreover, what do they mean
    by avenge, huh, Gantetsu?!
[19:13] ---
    Stop!
[19:16] ---
    Ninja Art: Mesh Cage!
[19:21] ---
    It’s my turn!
[19:27] ---
    It doesn’t even budge.
[19:29] ---
    It’s useless… You won’t be able to
    tear through this net.
[19:32] ---
    Come on, Gantetsu, answer me.
[19:35] ---
    I refuse.
[19:37] ---
    Huh… I see.
[19:39] ---
    Then how about this?
[19:45] ---
    Akio!
[19:48] ---
    Stop it! I get it.
    I’ll talk, so please stop!
[19:51] ---
    You should have done that
    from the start.
[19:55] ---
    These children are the children
    from the homes
[19:58] ---
    that we, the Ninja Dropouts, attacked.
[20:02] ---
    I rescued them and gave them shelter.
[20:04] ---
    What? You betrayed us?
[20:08] ---
    I see… You jerk…
[20:10] ---
    You took our treasures and
    gave them to these guys.
[20:12] ---
    They belonged to their families
    in the first place.
[20:17] ---
    Don’t mess around with me…
    You traitor!
[20:21] ---
    Stop that!
[20:23] ---
    Sorry to have kept you waiting!
[20:25] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki has just arrived!
[20:28] ---
    Naruto!
[20:29] ---
    Naruto, you were safe!
[20:31] ---
    Of course I was!
[20:35] ---
    I’m not handing Gantetsu over
    to you no matter what!
[20:45] ---
    Gantetsu.
[21:10] ---
    That’s…
[21:13] ---
    It can’t be…!
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    Is that the Ninja Dropout’s hideout?
[22:52] ---
    Yes, Akio is probably in that mansion.
[22:55] ---
    Damn those Ninja Dropout bastards.
    I can never forgive them.
[22:58] ---
    How dare they interfere with
    the happy reunion of the siblings!
[23:01] ---
    This is outrageous.
[23:02] ---
    All right, let’s go, Bushy-Brows!
[23:04] ---
    I’m always okay to go.
    Even if the enemy is an ex-Shinobi…
[23:08] ---
    We’re going to beat them one and all,
[23:09] ---
    and definitely going to get
    Todoroki’s brother back!
[23:12] ---

[00:01] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:39] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:57] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:04] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:23] ---
    Our two hearts
[02:19] ---
    Stop!
[02:21] ---
    D-Don’t push my father around!
[02:23] ---
    You idiot, Fuki. Get out of here!
[02:27] ---
    What’re you hesitating for?
    Take care of him quickly.
[02:31] ---
    That’s your job, right?
[02:36] ---
    Get out of my way.
[02:37] ---
    Fuki!
[02:39] ---
    You’ve got something nice there.
[02:42] ---
    I’ll take that.
[02:43] ---
    Please spare my daughter!
[02:45] ---
    Like I care!
[02:51] ---
    Father…
[02:52] ---
    Father! Father!
[02:58] ---
    Stop it!
[03:03] ---
    Y-You jerk.
[03:23] ---
    Here.
[03:25] ---
    It’s okay.
[03:45] ---
    Look out!
[04:00] ---
    Just a little more…
    Just a little more, believe it.
[04:07] ---
    Rare menma pickled bamboo shoots?
[04:09] ---
    Right. But only if I can get my hands
    on it when it’s in rare bamboo state.
[04:13] ---
    It seems the rare bamboo only grows
    on some ungodly cliff…
[04:17] ---
    Then I’ll get it, no matter what.
[04:20] ---
    And then I’ll eat some Ichiraku ramen
    with the rare pickled bamboo shoots on top…
[04:24] ---
    No matter what, believe it!
[04:26] ---
    Rare pickled bamboo shoots.
[04:30] ---
    I did it!
[04:36] ---
    I’m saved.
[04:38] ---
    Huh?
[04:41] ---
    What is that?
[04:45] ---
    It’s a person!
[04:52] ---
    Vanished Memories
[05:04] ---
    To think there’d be thunder
    even though it’s not raining…
[05:07] ---
    It’s kind of eerie.
[05:14] ---
    You shouldn’t shout like that…
[05:16] ---
    This is a hospital.
[05:18] ---
    You made me shout.
[05:20] ---
    Huh? That white coat.
[05:22] ---
    Could it be that you’re helping out
    the Medical Team, Sakura?
[05:24] ---
    Isn’t it lovely? I finally got the white coat.
[05:27] ---
    I see. It’s great that you were here
    just at the right time.
[05:32] ---
    I’ve got someone I’d like you
    to take a look at.
[05:35] ---
    Someone you want me
    to take a look at?
[05:37] ---
    It’s him.
[05:39] ---
    Wh-What? Could that be Dozaemon…?
[05:42] ---
    His name’s Dozaemon, huh…?
[05:45] ---
    I didn’t think he was
    your acquaintance Sakura.
[05:47] ---
    No. Dozaemon is a drowned body…
[05:49] ---
    Oh, never mind…
[05:51] ---
    I thought I knew him, but I was mistaken.
[05:53] ---
    I see. Then I leave him to you.
[05:56] ---
    Hey, this is a Leaf hospital.
[05:59] ---
    So people outside of the village
    can’t be admitted.
[06:01] ---
    Come on, just do this for me.
[06:03] ---
    I’ve got other business to attend to.
    So I leave the rest to you.
[06:05] ---
    Oh, hey, Naruto! Hold it!
[06:12] ---
    This is indeed the rare bamboo
    I’ve heard about.
[06:15] ---
    Yeah, now I can eat the rare ramen!
[06:19] ---
    What’re you talking about?
[06:20] ---
    It takes three or four weeks to make
[06:22] ---
    the pickled bamboo shoots
    out of the rare bamboo.
[06:24] ---
    What?!
[06:26] ---
    First, I boil this
    and then ferment it slowly.
[06:30] ---
    What, I can’t eat it right away?!
[06:33] ---
    You need a degree of determination
    to eat delicious things.
[06:36] ---
    Naruto, so this is where you were.
[06:38] ---
    Hey, what’s up with you?
[06:40] ---
    What’s up, nothing, you jerk…
[06:42] ---
    Oww!
[06:43] ---
    So you force a strange patient on me
[06:45] ---
    and intend to eat ramen
    by yourself at your leisure?
[06:48] ---
    Ouch. That hurts.
[07:00] ---
    Back to the Past Jutsu!
[07:05] ---
    Oh, what’s he doing there?
[07:08] ---
    He’s probing into his memory
    from his subconscious.
[07:11] ---
    That reverse hypnosis thing, huh?
[07:14] ---
    Right.
[07:18] ---
    Have you remembered anything?
[07:23] ---
    I see.
[07:25] ---
    It seems he’s lost his memory.
[07:27] ---
    Lost his memory?
[07:30] ---
    Let’s call it a day.
    We’ll do more tomorrow.
[07:35] ---
    It seems he doesn’t remember anything.
[07:38] ---
    Not his name or address…
[07:40] ---
    If none the doctor’s Jutsu don’t work,
    then this is the real deal.
[07:42] ---
    Then, doesn’t he have something
    we could use to identify him?
[07:46] ---
    Nope… This is all he had.
[07:53] ---
    What’s this?
[07:55] ---
    It’s a dove flute, also called an ocarina.
[07:58] ---
    Ocarina?
[07:59] ---
    It’s broken, though.
[08:01] ---
    Oh, it looks like this will stick.
[08:03] ---
    Not having memory could also
    be a temporary state of shock…
[08:07] ---
    Anyway, you sign this.
[08:09] ---
    What’s this?
[08:11] ---
    A letter of undertaking.
[08:12] ---
    I told you earlier,
    but this is a Leaf hospital.
[08:16] ---
    Outsiders aren’t allowed.
[08:18] ---
    If something were to happen,
[08:19] ---
    you will take responsibility
    for everything, Naruto.
[08:22] ---
    What?!
[08:23] ---
    You got a problem?
[08:24] ---
    Fine, okay.
[08:26] ---
    I sure picked up something troublesome.
[09:03] ---
    What’s going on?!
[09:06] ---
    That’s in the direction of the hospital!
[09:09] ---
    Everyone, it’ll be okay.
    Please evacuate calmly.
[09:41] ---
    Help me!
[09:47] ---
    Forgive me… Forgive me.
[09:51] ---
    Is there anyone left?
[09:54] ---
    Anyone here?
[10:03] ---
    Sakura, did you evacuate everyone?
[10:05] ---
    I’m checking right now.
[10:07] ---
    Hey, Sakura!
[10:09] ---
    Naruto.
[10:10] ---
    Everything okay?
[10:11] ---
    Somehow.
[10:12] ---
    Hey, where is that guy?
[10:14] ---
    What?
[10:15] ---
    Come to think of it…
[10:17] ---
    He’s not here.
[10:19] ---
    Please help! My baby is…
    My baby is still inside!
[10:25] ---
    What did you say?!
[10:26] ---
    No way. It doesn’t look like
    we can get in with these flames…
[10:30] ---
    What’re you doing?!
    Hurry up and put out the fire!
[11:01] ---
    I’ll go in!
[11:02] ---
    That’s reckless.
[11:03] ---
    The baby is in the deepest part
    of the hospital.
[11:10] ---
    What?
[11:12] ---
    It’s the sound of a flute.
[11:15] ---
    It's him!
[11:17] ---
    He’s getting closer.
[11:20] ---
    Here he comes!
[11:22] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[11:26] ---
    – This way! – To the right.
[11:29] ---
    He did it! The baby is with him, too!
[11:31] ---
    All right!
[11:32] ---
    My boy!
[11:34] ---
    That was a close shave.
[11:36] ---
    Thank goodness!
[11:37] ---
    Thank you very much…Thank you!
[11:40] ---
    Sure.
[11:43] ---
    Thank you so much.
[11:50] ---
    An outsider with amnesia, huh?
[11:54] ---
    Good grief. What a dilemma.
[11:57] ---
    It’d be okay just to let
    that one guy stay, right?
[12:00] ---
    We can’t do that.
[12:02] ---
    For the safety of the village,
[12:03] ---
    we must not overlook even
    the slightest thing.
[12:06] ---
    But, we figured out that
[12:07] ---
    he’s not a bad guy
    after that incident, right?
[12:11] ---
    Unfortunately, we must not let someone
    whose identity we don’t know
[12:14] ---
    stay in the village.
[12:16] ---
    Then, if he were to do something,
[12:17] ---
    I’ll take the responsibility
    and figure something out.
[12:20] ---
    Sakura, how’s he doing?
    Has he remembered anything?
[12:24] ---
    No, nothing yet.
[12:27] ---
    I see.
[12:28] ---
    I’m begging you.
    I’ll let you guys have some of
[12:31] ---
    the rare pickled bamboo
    shoot ramen too, Grandma.
[12:34] ---
    Rare…pickled bamboo shoots?
[12:36] ---
    Yeah. I went to pick some on
    the way back from a mission
[12:40] ---
    and then found him--!
[12:43] ---
    That’s news to me.
[12:46] ---
    So you were loitering around like
    that on your way back from a mission?
[12:49] ---
    Ouch. Oww.
[12:51] ---
    Naruto, so you’re serious about
    looking after that boy, huh?
[12:56] ---
    Yeah, it’s true.
[12:59] ---
    All right, then I’ll let that boy
    remain in the village.
[13:02] ---
    Lady Tsunade!
[13:04] ---
    I can’t run out the person
    who saved a child from this village.
[13:08] ---
    Excellent, Grandma.
    Now you’re talking!
[13:14] ---
    I’m Naruto Uzumaki…
    Nice to know you.
[13:18] ---
    I-I’m…
[13:20] ---
    Oh, that’s right.
    Your memory hasn’t come back yet.
[13:24] ---
    Then, hmmm.
[13:27] ---
    Menma, make it Menma.
[13:31] ---
    Menma?
[13:31] ---
    Yeah. I’d gone to pick some
    and then I found you, so…
[13:35] ---
    Menma…
[13:37] ---
    Okay, got it. My name’s Menma.
[13:41] ---
    It’s settled. Nice to meet you, Menma.
[13:43] ---
    Good to meet you, Naruto.
[13:45] ---
    Here you go.
[13:47] ---
    Wow, it looks delicious.
[13:50] ---
    The ramen here is the best
    in the world, believe it.
[13:55] ---
    Let’s eat.
[13:59] ---
    Tasty.
[14:02] ---
    But this isn’t the finished product.
    Don’t you notice something lacking?
[14:07] ---
    Huh?
[14:09] ---
    Oh.
[14:10] ---
    Come to think of it, there isn’t
    any menma pickled bamboo shoots on top.
[14:13] ---
    Right. Until the rare pickled
    bamboo shoots are ready,
[14:16] ---
    they’re sealed from your ramen.
[14:19] ---
    Hey, old man, you’ll be
    sure to make it, right?
[14:21] ---
    Absolutely.
[14:23] ---
    I can’t wait. Say, Menma.
[14:26] ---
    Let’s definitely come here together
    to have some at that time.
[14:29] ---
    Right.
[14:33] ---
    Okay, come on in.
[14:35] ---
    Excuse me for barging in.
[14:36] ---
    As of today, this is your home.
[14:39] ---
    It’s a dirty place,
    but make yourself comfortable.
[14:42] ---
    Whoa.
[14:44] ---
    It really is dirty.
[14:47] ---
    Don’t get so hung up on the details.
[14:49] ---
    Y-You’re right.
[14:52] ---
    More importantly, let’s get to sleep and
[14:54] ---
    starting tomorrow we’ll come up with
    a way to get your memory back.
[14:58] ---
    Right.
[15:04] ---
    I can’t eat anymore…
[15:24] ---
    Man, I slept well!
[15:28] ---
    Morning, Naruto.
[15:31] ---
    Menma?
[15:33] ---
    Whoa.
[15:35] ---
    Everything’s been cleaned up nicely!
[15:38] ---
    Did you do this?
[15:41] ---
    Yeah. I couldn’t sleep and
    had time to kill.
[15:43] ---
    Thanks for that…
[15:47] ---
    Hey, Menma! What’re you doing?!
[15:50] ---
    What do you mean?
    I’m hanging up the laundry.
[15:54] ---
    Don’t wash someone else’s underwear!
[15:57] ---
    I’ll do that myself,
    so don’t worry about it!
[15:59] ---
    Really?
[16:05] ---
    Now then…
    How should we get your memory back?
[16:10] ---
    Oh, I know!
[16:12] ---
    Come with me, Menma.
[16:18] ---
    This is a specialty from the Land of Wind,
    Sand Dumplings.
[16:21] ---
    This fine soy powder is used to
    resemble sand and they taste really good.
[16:25] ---
    Yeah?
[16:26] ---
    And this one is a specialty from
    the Land of Earth, Stone Rice Cakes.
[16:29] ---
    The crunchy texture is irresistible.
[16:32] ---
    Uh-huh.
[16:33] ---
    And this is a specialty from
    the Land of Water, Mist Mitsumame Beans.
[16:37] ---
    So? Have you remembered anything?
[16:39] ---
    No… Nothing at all.
[16:41] ---
    Oh, I thought you might
    remember something
[16:45] ---
    if they had a specialty
    from your home.
[16:47] ---
    Sorry.
[16:48] ---
    No need to apologize.
[16:51] ---
    Naruto, forget about my memory.
[16:55] ---
    What?
[16:57] ---
    You see, we don’t know how
    or when my memory will come back.
[17:02] ---
    More importantly,
    you’ve got your own work, right?
[17:05] ---
    Well, you’ve got a point.
[17:07] ---
    I’ve got to finish cleaning
    the Great Stone Faces by today…
[17:10] ---
    Then let’s do that.
[17:14] ---
    But before that, wait just a minute.
[17:16] ---
    Huh?
[17:17] ---
    Hey, Menma.
[17:20] ---
    Ma’am…
[17:22] ---
    I’ll carry your things
    to your house.
[17:24] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[17:35] ---
    Thank you very much.
[17:37] ---
    No problem.
[17:39] ---
    At any rate, you’ve sure got
    a lot of weeds growing in your yard.
[17:44] ---
    My lower back has been
    bothering me lately…
[17:47] ---
    The grass grows as much as it wants.
[17:50] ---
    Then I’ll do it.
[17:52] ---
    Oh, my.
[17:55] ---
    I-I will, too!
[17:57] ---
    Thanks so much!
[18:01] ---
    Phew… Finally done!
[18:04] ---
    Naruto.
[18:05] ---
    What is it?
[18:06] ---
    They want help too!
[18:08] ---
    Huh?
[18:09] ---
    It seems this area here
    is all homes of the elderly.
[18:13] ---
    Thanks.
[18:14] ---
    I leave it to you.
[18:16] ---
    F-For real?
[18:21] ---
    What’s this?
[18:23] ---
    Actually, thank-you gifts have
    been sent to Naruto and that boy
[18:26] ---
    from all over the village.
[18:28] ---
    What’re those two doing?
[18:33] ---
    But really, you’re sure an odd guy.
[18:36] ---
    Am I?
[18:38] ---
    You’ve got a strong
    sense of righteousness,
[18:40] ---
    I mean,
    you’re the embodiment of kindness.
[18:42] ---
    It’s not something easily done.
[18:44] ---
    I just want to live right.
[18:48] ---
    I don’t want to have any more regrets.
[18:50] ---
    Hm? Menma,
    have you remembered something?
[18:54] ---
    Huh? No, not really.
[18:56] ---
    I see.
[18:58] ---
    What?! Is it bird poop?
[19:02] ---
    It’s blood!
[19:09] ---
    Give me a hand, Menma!
[19:11] ---
    Right!
[19:15] ---
    What’s the matter?!
[19:17] ---
    Someone…in this village…
[19:22] ---
    Let’s get out of here!
[19:25] ---
    Menma, I leave this guy to you.
[19:27] ---
    Got it.
[19:37] ---
    Damn it!
[19:43] ---
    Damn you. Come on out!
[19:50] ---
    Damn it! Where’s he hiding?
[19:54] ---
    Naruto…
[20:07] ---
    Sound of a flute? Is it Menma?!
[20:16] ---
    Huh? What’s this…?
[20:19] ---
    Awesome power’s starting to
    well up in my whole body.
[20:22] ---
    All right.
[20:26] ---
    Awesome!
[20:29] ---
    Power’s flowing over me!
[20:38] ---
    I see you.
[20:42] ---
    Damn it.
[20:50] ---
    I did it.
[20:54] ---
    It’s a Substitution!
[20:56] ---
    Damn it. He got away, huh…?
[21:00] ---
    You okay, Naruto?
[21:04] ---
    Menma…
[21:06] ---
    That flute just now…
[21:09] ---
    Who in the world are you?
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:54] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:59] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:38] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    As I thought, he’s no ordinary man.
[22:52] ---
    He won’t be an easy opponent to fight.
[22:54] ---
    Wait a minute.
[22:56] ---
    You are talking about Menma
    like his our enemy or something.
[22:57] ---
    There is that possibility, you know.
[22:59] ---
    He could be with the intruder
    from the other day.
[23:01] ---
    What are you talking about?
[23:03] ---
    Weren't you two gonna help us
    seek Menma's memory together?
[23:06] ---
    Our mission is to find out
    the guy's identity
[23:08] ---
    and to catch the intruder.
[23:10] ---
    Unlike you, we don't trust Menma just yet.

[00:01] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:39] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:57] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:04] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:23] ---
    Our two hearts
[01:42] ---
    His music is a Ninjutsu?
[01:44] ---
    Yeah! Awesome Chakra started bursting
    throughout my body.
[01:49] ---
    My power goes up like crazy!
[01:53] ---
    That’s a rare Jutsu, isn’t it?
[01:55] ---
    Shizune, have we identified the one
    who attacked the villagers?
[01:59] ---
    No, not yet…
[02:02] ---
    Menma. I’ve once heard of
    a Jutsu similar to yours.
[02:06] ---
    – What?!
    – Is that true, Grandma?!
[02:08] ---
    I seem to recall that
    the Land of Rice Paddies has a Jutsu
[02:10] ---
    that use musical instruments as
    the catalysts.
[02:12] ---
    Land of Rice Paddies?
    You mean that Land of Rice Paddies?
[02:16] ---
    Come to think of it,
[02:17] ---
    the upper part of the mountain stream
    where Naruto found Menma was…
[02:20] ---
    Land of Rice Paddies?
[02:21] ---
    Please allow me to go there!
[02:25] ---
    But infiltrating another land
    without cause is…
[02:28] ---
    No, we do have cause!
[02:30] ---
    There might be hints there
    about Menma’s lost memory.
[02:35] ---
    I’d also like to make that request.
[02:39] ---
    Very well.
[02:40] ---
    Excellent, Grandma!
    Now you’re talking!
[02:43] ---
    Thank you.
[02:52] ---
    Bringing Back Reality
[02:58] ---
    And so we’ll be heading out for a bit.
[03:01] ---
    Right, got it.
[03:03] ---
    The special pickled bamboo shoots
    should be ready
[03:05] ---
    by the time you guys get back.
[03:07] ---
    I can’t wait. Bye!
[03:17] ---
    Really, there’s no real need
    for you guys to come.
[03:20] ---
    We have no choice. It’s a mission.
[03:23] ---
    Our mission is to accompany you guys!
[03:28] ---
    Now that it’s settled…
[03:30] ---
    Let’s get to the Land of Rice Paddies!
[03:33] ---
    Right.
[03:34] ---
    – Naruto. – Huh?
[03:36] ---
    You stay here.
[03:37] ---
    Huh?
[03:40] ---
    What do you want, Grandma?
[03:42] ---
    If you’re any kind of sorry excuse
    for a Shinobi, you should know.
[03:45] ---
    What?
[03:46] ---
    I’m talking about Menma.
    lf that kid is a…
[03:49] ---
    No way is he a bad guy.
[03:52] ---
    I know he’s not a bad person.
[03:54] ---
    But can you state flatly that
    he’s not an enemy spy?
[03:58] ---
    What’re you driving at, Grandma?!
[04:00] ---
    You couldn’t have forgotten.
[04:03] ---
    The Village Hidden in Sound
    in the Land of Rice Paddies
[04:05] ---
    is the place where Orochimaru
    once hid himself.
[04:08] ---
    Well, I…
[04:12] ---
    I…remember that, but…
[04:15] ---
    Menma’s Jutsu is strikingly similar to that
    of the opponent Shikamaru fought
[04:18] ---
    when Sasuke was taken away.
[04:21] ---
    There’s no denying there’s a chance
[04:23] ---
    he’s affiliated with
    the Hidden Sound Village.
[04:26] ---
    And if he remembers something and
    that was to become a threat to this land…
[04:37] ---
    No way could Menma be an enemy…
    That just can’t be!
[04:53] ---
    We’ll leave you behind if you dawdle!
[04:56] ---
    Naruto, I’m going on ahead!
[05:16] ---
    Are you hurt?
[05:17] ---
    No… Thanks for the help.
[05:21] ---
    You were going a bit too fast.
[05:23] ---
    Let’s take a break.
[05:32] ---
    What the heck’s wrong?!
[05:35] ---
    Who in the world is he?
[05:37] ---
    We’re going to investigate
    because we don’t know that.
[05:41] ---
    I was running at full speed earlier.
[05:44] ---
    Losing my footing on the branch
    after that was on purpose, though…
[05:47] ---
    What?
[05:48] ---
    Not only did he keep up with my speed,
[05:51] ---
    but he even showed
    the composure to save me.
[05:55] ---
    He is better than us in terms of speed.
[06:00] ---
    He’d be a troublesome opponent
    if we end up fighting.
[06:03] ---
    Wha--?
    Hey, hey, wait a minute.
[06:06] ---
    He’s not an enemy!
[06:08] ---
    He risks his life to rescue babies.
[06:10] ---
    And he’s the kind of guy who,
    if left on his own,
[06:12] ---
    would help those in trouble all day!
[06:24] ---
    That’s a nice sound.
[06:26] ---
    I still hadn’t thanked you
    for fixing this for me.
[06:30] ---
    Don’t worry about it.
[06:34] ---
    Hey!
[06:36] ---
    Stop playing that right now!
[06:38] ---
    If you don’t…
[06:41] ---
    Neji. What’s the big idea?!
[06:43] ---
    You keep quiet!
[06:45] ---
    What?!
[06:46] ---
    It’s as Neji says.
[06:48] ---
    That might’ve been
    a signal to an enemy!
[06:51] ---
    A signal?
[06:52] ---
    Lady Tsunade approved this mission
    because the suspicious person
[06:55] ---
    who entered the village the other day
    still hasn’t been caught!
[06:59] ---
    If that intruder has followed Menma…
[07:03] ---
    he should be close to us now.
[07:06] ---
    No way…
[07:08] ---
    As of this point, he hasn’t shown
    his presence, though.
[07:10] ---
    Our mission is to accompany Naruto,
[07:12] ---
    verify his identity and
    to capture the intruder!
[07:17] ---
    Sorry, but I don’t trust you!
[07:22] ---
    That’s right…
    lt’s natural I’d be thought of like that…
[07:28] ---
    I think about this
    from time to time…
[07:30] ---
    What kind of a person was I?
[07:33] ---
    What would I do if I were
    a bad person…?
[07:37] ---
    Naruto, what kind of person would
    you want to be if you were reborn?
[07:41] ---
    Wh-What’s this all of a sudden?
[07:43] ---
    I’m speaking figuratively…
[07:46] ---
    I’ve never thought about it.
[07:48] ---
    I see…
[07:49] ---
    But why do you ask
    something like that?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, no special reason…
[07:57] ---
    What is it?
[07:58] ---
    What’s this smell?
[08:01] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    it smells like something’s burning.
[08:04] ---
    Over there.
[08:05] ---
    Let’s go.
[08:12] ---
    The smell came from here…
[08:16] ---
    Was there a fire or something…?
[08:40] ---
    Is something wrong?
[08:42] ---
    No…
[08:43] ---
    It’s nothing.
[09:00] ---
    Don’t move. I’ll fire if you move.
[09:02] ---
    What’s the deal all of a sudden?
[09:04] ---
    Are you their minions?
[09:06] ---
    “Their”?
[09:08] ---
    You’ll die here if
    you’re comrades of theirs.
[09:10] ---
    For crying out loud, who are they?!
[09:13] ---
    If you say you’re not,
    then show me some proof!
[09:15] ---
    Proof, why? We’re Leaf Shinobi.
[09:19] ---
    Hidden Leaf Village?
[09:20] ---
    See? Look at this.
[09:22] ---
    Indeed that is…
[09:26] ---
    What do Leaf Shinobi want
    in a place like this?
[09:28] ---
    Well, we just happened
    to be passing through and…
[09:32] ---
    As you can see, there’s nothing here.
[09:35] ---
    If you don’t have business here,
    just beat it.
[09:37] ---
    If you don’t,
    we can’t guarantee your life.
[09:39] ---
    What’s with him talking all big?!
[09:42] ---
    Here, he was the one
    who picked the fight.
[09:49] ---
    Once we’ve had our breather,
[09:51] ---
    let’s blow this joint and go look
    for Menma’s memory.
[09:55] ---
    R-Right…
[09:56] ---
    What? Did you remember something?
[09:58] ---
    No…
[10:00] ---
    Who’s there? Come on out.
[10:15] ---
    Hello.
[10:22] ---
    Y-You guys are Ninja, right?
[10:25] ---
    I heard what you were talking
    about earlier…
[10:27] ---
    Oh, well, I don’t want to brag, but…
[10:30] ---
    If you’re talking about Naruto Uzumaki
    from Hidden Leaf Village,
[10:32] ---
    I’m pretty well known.
[10:34] ---
    Really? I’m sorry, I didn’t know.
[10:38] ---
    Why did you go to the trouble
    of following us?
[10:40] ---
    Umm… I had a favor to ask…
[10:43] ---
    My older brother said
    what he did earlier, but…
[10:46] ---
    Older brother?!
[10:47] ---
    That jerk from earlier?
[10:49] ---
    We need someone to save our village!
[10:57] ---
    A person to save your village…?
[10:59] ---
    What do you mean?
[11:00] ---
    This was the border of
    the Land of Rice Paddies.
[11:04] ---
    But…
[11:05] ---
    as our land had caused trouble
    for other lands,
[11:09] ---
    this area was turned into
    a demilitarized zone.
[11:13] ---
    Are you talking about
    that thing in question…?
[11:15] ---
    It must be the incident
    involving Orochimaru.
[11:17] ---
    That’s how things were settled
    with all the neighboring lands, huh?
[11:21] ---
    But if it’s a demilitarized zone,
    there won’t be any territorial dispute, right?
[11:25] ---
    That’s right.
[11:27] ---
    It’s not like that.
[11:29] ---
    There’s a small mine
    in the hills behind the village
[11:31] ---
    and a little bit of gold can be dug up.
[11:34] ---
    Once it was discovered that mine is not
    being supervised by a proprietary land,
[11:36] ---
    bandits started coming with
    their eyes on the gold…
[11:39] ---
    No matter how often we asked
    the feudal lord,
[11:42] ---
    he would insist that, “Agreements between
    fellow lands must not be broken.”
[11:46] ---
    And the village…
[11:49] ---
    It was attacked by bandits, right?
[11:51] ---
    They withdrew in the middle of it
    due to a terrible storm before.
[11:56] ---
    But they’ll definitely be back.
[11:58] ---
    I beg you. Please save our village.
[12:01] ---
    You guys could fight them!
[12:04] ---
    All right! Got it…
[12:05] ---
    I’m sorry.
[12:06] ---
    We can understand the situation,
    but we can’t cooperate.
[12:09] ---
    Huh? What’re you saying, Neji?!
[12:12] ---
    We’re in the middle of a mission!
[12:14] ---
    We can’t act unless
    we have an official order from the village!
[12:17] ---
    But…
[12:18] ---
    Besides, we don’t know
    when the bandits will be back.
[12:21] ---
    We can’t just strand
    ourselves here forever!
[12:25] ---
    Damn it…
[12:26] ---
    I see…
[12:27] ---
    What’re you doing Ran,
    even bringing Fuki here?
[12:30] ---
    Big Brother…
[12:32] ---
    Don’t get involved with them.
    There’s no such thing as a good Ninja.
[12:35] ---
    Say what?!
[12:37] ---
    I just stated the truth.
[12:39] ---
    The rumor has it that the guys who
    attacked the village were Rogue Shinobi
[12:41] ---
    from the Hidden Sound Village.
[12:42] ---
    Huh? The bandits are Ninja?
[12:46] ---
    Come this way.
[12:50] ---
    Look at that.
[12:53] ---
    Wh-What’s this?!
[12:54] ---
    One-third of the villagers were killed
    in the attack the other day.
[12:58] ---
    Half of the rest abandoned
    the village and fled.
[13:02] ---
    Then you guys should also evacuate…
[13:04] ---
    Where are we supposed to flee?!
[13:06] ---
    This is ancestral land
    that’s been handed down to us
[13:08] ---
    and that we’ve cultivated.
[13:10] ---
    Why should we have to flee from that?!
[13:12] ---
    Each time the hooligans
    brandish their power,
[13:14] ---
    we have to accept it like
    a natural disaster and do nothing?!
[13:16] ---
    Are we to just flee from place to place?!
[13:18] ---
    Don’t shout, Big Brother.
[13:21] ---
    Fuki will get scared.
[13:24] ---
    I’m sorry I shouted…
[13:28] ---
    Her parents were killed by bandits
    and she lost her ability to speak.
[13:34] ---
    There’s no place for us to escape.
[13:37] ---
    If that’s clear, then beat it already.
[13:42] ---
    We have no choice.
    Let’s hurry on ahead.
[13:47] ---
    I’m staying here.
[13:49] ---
    Huh?
[13:51] ---
    I want to be of use if
    those people are in trouble.
[13:54] ---
    Menma!
[13:55] ---
    Hey, you don’t even know
    the scale of the bandits.
[13:59] ---
    If you want to help them,
    no matter what,
[14:01] ---
    then we should go back
    to the village and…
[14:02] ---
    We don’t know when they might attack.
[14:05] ---
    We don’t have the time
    to return to the village!
[14:06] ---
    Then, I’m staying, too!
[14:09] ---
    Naruto! Anything further than this
    is beyond the scope of the mission!
[14:12] ---
    This isn’t beyond the scope
    of the mission!
[14:14] ---
    I get the feeling I’ll be able to
    remember something if I stay here.
[14:17] ---
    Don’t say irresponsible things!
[14:19] ---
    You couldn’t remember anything
    just a moment ago…
[14:22] ---
    That’s too convenient!
[14:23] ---
    It can’t be helped, right?
    Menma himself is saying so.
[14:28] ---
    He’s good-natured to a fault!
[14:31] ---
    Naruto…
[14:33] ---
    Let’s go, Menma.
[14:34] ---
    Right.
[14:35] ---
    Hey, Naruto!
[14:36] ---
    We’ll deal with the bandits.
[14:39] ---
    You guys go on back
    to the village ahead.
[14:42] ---
    What do we do, Neji?!
[14:44] ---
    Leave them be.
[14:46] ---
    It’s unlikely the villagers will
    accept Naruto and Menma.
[14:49] ---
    You’ve got a point…
[14:53] ---
    It seems the settlement on the other side
    has escaped damage, huh?
[14:56] ---
    But how’re we supposed to protect
    the village just the two of us…?
[15:00] ---
    Let’s build a wall along this creek.
    This river will play the role of a moat.
[15:05] ---
    Ultimately we’ll make a temporary bridge
[15:07] ---
    and have the entrance to the village
    in just one location.
[15:09] ---
    I get it…
[15:11] ---
    I don’t know how effective it’ll be,
[15:13] ---
    but let’s just do the best
    we can now.
[15:15] ---
    Right.
[15:44] ---
    What’re you doing? I told you to get out.
[15:47] ---
    We won’t get out!
[15:50] ---
    What did you say?!
[15:51] ---
    We decided to protect
    the village on our own.
[15:55] ---
    Nobody asked you to do that.
    lt’s none of your business!
[15:58] ---
    You may say that,
[16:00] ---
    but you can’t beat them off
    by just hiding in your houses!
[16:06] ---
    All right, let’s stabilize it with a stake.
[16:08] ---
    Got it…
[16:52] ---
    Jeez, what can they do
    just the two of them?!
[17:01] ---
    I’m ready…
[17:02] ---
    Okay.
[17:14] ---
    Tenten! You’re still here?!
[17:16] ---
    Can’t you at least say thanks first?
[17:20] ---
    Thanks, Tenten.
[17:22] ---
    Come on, Naruto. Hold it down right.
[17:25] ---
    R-Right…
[17:34] ---
    You are…
[17:36] ---
    For me?
[17:38] ---
    Then I’ll help myself.
[17:41] ---
    Have this, too.
[17:43] ---
    I’ll help out, too.
[18:42] ---
    You’re mine!
[18:43] ---
    Not yet!
[18:47] ---
    That technique!
[18:50] ---
    It’s from that time!
[18:53] ---
    Neji! You…
[18:55] ---
    It’s our mission this time around
    to catch this guy.
[18:59] ---
    Heh! This guy’s formidable.
[19:14] ---
    Damn it!
[19:16] ---
    He’s quick to escape!
[19:31] ---
    Naruto!
[19:44] ---
    The sound waves pierced my whole
    Chakra Network all at once
[19:46] ---
    and amplified the flow of Chakra?
[19:48] ---
    I won’t lose to the likes of this guy
    if I have this Jutsu!
[20:12] ---
    This is to avenge everyone.
[20:15] ---
    Eat this!
[20:17] ---
    You’re in my way!
[20:25] ---
    Menma!
[20:30] ---
    Menma! Menma!
[20:32] ---
    Carry him to the village.
[20:34] ---
    Manma! Hang in there!
[20:36] ---
    Boiling water and alcohol!
[20:37] ---
    All right.
[20:40] ---
    Are you going to treat him?
[20:42] ---
    I may not look it,
    but I’ve played at being a doctor.
[20:45] ---
    We’ll save you now, Menma.
[20:49] ---
    What’s the matter?
[20:55] ---
    I cannot treat this guy…
[20:58] ---
    Wh-Why not?!
[21:01] ---
    This mark…
[21:03] ---
    He’s a comrade of a guy
    who attacked here…!
[21:18] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:18] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    Menma is not a member of the bandits.
[22:53] ---
    I mean, he loves helping people!
[22:56] ---
    He’s a type of guy who would even risk
    his own life in order to save a kid!
[23:01] ---
    For this village too,
[23:03] ---
    he has worked hard, so hard,
    even though no one really asked for it.
[23:07] ---
    He’s got to have some kind of reason.
[23:09] ---
    So please save Menma!

    The distance created between us

    Your honest reply, “See you…”

     that attacked this village!
[01:53] ---
    That’s a lie!
[01:54] ---
    It’s not a lie! This mark…
[01:58] ---
    Same from that night…
[02:15] ---
    N-No! Spare me!
[02:22] ---
    Stop!
[02:42] ---
    This is the same mark from
    that time.
[02:45] ---
    No way!
[02:46] ---
    But this wasn’t in
    the medical team’s report.
[02:50] ---
    Byakugan!
[02:53] ---
    It seems this is a particular mark
    that only emerges
[02:56] ---
    when he sweats…
[02:58] ---
    You guys get out!
[03:00] ---
    Why?
[03:02] ---
    I’m going to take care of him.
[03:04] ---
    Say what?! I won’t let you do that!
[03:07] ---
    Why do you protect him?
    ls the Leaf Village also in cahoots?
[03:11] ---
    No, that’s not it!
[03:13] ---
    He doesn’t remember
    a thing from the past…
[03:17] ---
    He has no memory.
[03:20] ---
    No memory?
[03:22] ---
    It’s memory loss.
    We came in search of his memory.
[03:26] ---
    Then you should know now.
    He’s a dirty bandit!
[03:31] ---
    Whether or not he has a memory
    makes no difference to me!
[03:34] ---
    Calm down!
[03:35] ---
    It would only be in vain
     to kill someone
[03:37] ---
    who has no memory of
     committing a crime.
[03:39] ---
    Shut up!
[03:41] ---
    If you really want to have
    your revenge,
[03:43] ---
    do so as much as you like
    after getting his memory back…
[03:47] ---
    I won’t stop you at that time.
[03:52] ---
    I won’t let you do that even if
    he gets his memory back!
[03:56] ---
    It’s as Neji says.
[03:58] ---
    We’ll also find out the identity
    of the guys who attacked
[04:00] ---
    if his memory returns
    and we get him to talk.
[04:02] ---
    We might be able to save the village
    if we can use him to cut a deal…
[04:06] ---
    We have to keep him alive now.
    We won’t run away or hide!
[04:11] ---
    Keep quiet… He won’t let Menma live
    unless we tell him this.
[04:20] ---
    I’m going to sew up the wound.
    Hold his arms and legs.
[04:32] ---
    That girl is…
[05:02] ---
    I just can’t believe it.
    He’s the embodiment of good nature…
[05:06] ---
    To think he’d be a comrade
    of the bandits.
[05:08] ---
    I wonder if he became a good guy
     after losing his memory.
[05:11] ---
    He just has the same mark as those guys
    due to some sort of circumstance.
[05:16] ---
    Even if he lost his memory,
[05:18] ---
    he wouldn’t become this good-natured
    of a guy if he was a bad person.
[05:21] ---
    Either way, we’ll know everything
     if he get his memory back.
[05:26] ---
    I was…a comrade of the bandits,
    wasn’t I?
[05:30] ---
    You heard us talking earlier?
[05:35] ---
    Don’t worry about it.
    We don’t know any of the details. Okay?
[05:43] ---
    Heal that wound for now…
[05:54] ---
    I’m going to have
    a look around the area.
[05:56] ---
    You understand, right?
[05:58] ---
    Your friends and that guy will die
     if you try anything funny.
[06:01] ---
    Do as you like when that happens.
[07:13] ---
    It’s done…
[07:20] ---
    Fuki…
[07:23] ---
    You heard, didn’t you?
[07:27] ---
    I can’t stand it, after all!
[07:29] ---
    Let’s get him. Let’s avenge everyone!
[07:31] ---
    Stop!
[07:32] ---
    It’s still not certain that
    Menma’s one of their comrades!
[07:36] ---
    You’re just as much to blame
    if you protect him!
[07:38] ---
    – Right! – Right!
[07:40] ---
    What’s the ruckus?!
[07:41] ---
    Naruto?
[07:43] ---
    Tenten…!
[07:45] ---
    Why did you let him out of the hut?!
[07:46] ---
    Sorry. I dozed off…
[07:48] ---
    I got careless thinking
     he couldn’t move…
[07:52] ---
    Guys, stop! He has no memory!
[07:56] ---
    So he doesn’t even know if
     he’s one of their comrades or not…!
[08:00] ---
    We warned you before!
[08:01] ---
    You guys are just as much to blame
    if you protect him any further!
[08:06] ---
    Get them!
[08:07] ---
    Stop it!
[08:10] ---
    We should get away for now!
[08:12] ---
    I’m…fine…
[08:14] ---
    What?
[08:15] ---
    Of course, everyone’s angry.
    I…should be punished.
[08:20] ---
    You’ll be killed!
[08:21] ---
    That’s fine!
[08:23] ---
    What’re you saying, Menma?!
[08:29] ---
    Byakugan!
[08:37] ---
    It’s them!
[08:38] ---
    The bridge! Raise the bridge!
[08:40] ---
    Right!
[08:41] ---
    Got it!
[09:06] ---
    Be careful of the Leaf Ninja and
    secure an entrance route!
[09:09] ---
    – Yes, sir! – Yes, sir!
[09:10] ---
    Now’s our chance.
    Everyone hide!
[09:14] ---
    You, too!
[09:16] ---
    We can take care of this ourselves!
[09:20] ---
    Come on, Fuki!
[09:32] ---
    They’ve come from two spots!
[09:34] ---
    Where’d they go?!
[09:36] ---
    They vanished.
[09:38] ---
    Be quiet!
[09:46] ---
    The wind…
[09:49] ---
    I get it.
[09:51] ---
    They’ve trapped us
     in a Genjutsu
[09:52] ---
    with a different tone mixed in
    with the sound of the wind!
[09:55] ---
    Be careful!
    We’re now inside their Jutsu!
[10:01] ---
    You noticed too late!
[10:06] ---
    M-My body…
[10:08] ---
    It’s heavy…
[10:09] ---
    This is bad… Is it Paralysis?!
[10:13] ---
    Canceling Sound!
[10:18] ---
    The Paralysis is released.
[10:21] ---
    You backstabber!
[10:23] ---
    Here they come!
[10:24] ---
    I’ll leave those guys to you!
[10:27] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[10:30] ---
    It’s futile!
[10:33] ---
    Heh, what’s the matter?
    Finished already?!
[10:37] ---
    I don’t even have a scratch on me…
[10:41] ---
    This is what I was after!
[10:44] ---
    Wha--?!
[10:49] ---
    What’s happening?
    I’m getting an amazing power.
[10:51] ---
    Here I go!
[10:53] ---
    Rotation!
[10:56] ---
    Now, prepare yourself!
[11:00] ---
    You won’t get away!
[11:26] ---
    Here…
[11:28] ---
    This is precious to you, right?
[11:38] ---
    Behind you!
[11:40] ---
    You jerk!
[11:46] ---
    Your voice… It’s back!
[11:48] ---
    Th-Thank you…
[11:51] ---
    Now, let’s go back to the others.
[11:54] ---
    Right.
[11:58] ---
    Menma! You okay?
[12:00] ---
    Yeah…
[12:01] ---
    We took care of most of them!
[12:04] ---
    What about their leader?
    What about Shiin?!
[12:08] ---
    I chased after him,
     but he got away…
[12:11] ---
    This is bad…
[12:12] ---
    Now that Shiin knows the villagers
    won’t abandon their homes and get out,
[12:15] ---
    he’ll use his last resort.
[12:19] ---
    There is a dam built upriver to secure
    water resources during a drought.
[12:24] ---
    There is enough water for the village
     to last a year, even if it doesn’t rain.
[12:30] ---
    The dam has been rigged to blow up
[12:32] ---
    and to sweep away
    the entire village with a flood.
[12:37] ---
    All they care about
    is the mine.
[12:41] ---
    We can’t stop something like a flood
[12:43] ---
    unless we move mountains
    or something!
[12:45] ---
    Mountains…
[12:48] ---
    That’s it.
    We should move mountains!
[12:50] ---
    Naruto! Take me to the mine.
[12:54] ---
    Wha--?
[12:55] ---
    There should be a bunch of
    Letter Bombs in the mine!
[12:58] ---
    Letter Bombs?!
    What’re you going to do with those?!
[13:02] ---
    I’m going to blow up
     the mine itself.
[13:05] ---
    The crumbled dirt and sand will
     fill up the valley
[13:07] ---
    and the flood can be stopped.
[13:15] ---
    Damn it! He’s started!
    Let’s hurry, Menma!
[13:18] ---
    Naruto… There’s something
     I have to tell you.
[13:23] ---
    Make it later!
[13:25] ---
    I haven’t lost my memory.
[13:28] ---
    Yeah… But stopping
    the flood comes first!
[13:32] ---
    No, I’d like you to listen now.
[13:36] ---
    I lost my parents when I was little
    and was raised in Shiin’s clan.
[13:42] ---
    They were a small Shinobi clan even
    in the Land of Rice Paddies.
[13:46] ---
    But they still had ambitious plans…
[13:51] ---
    However, a Shinobi village was created
     in the Land of Rice Paddies
[13:54] ---
    about a year ago.
[13:55] ---
    It was the Village Hidden in the Sound.
[13:58] ---
    The Village Hidden in the Sound!
[14:00] ---
    Clan members confident in their skill
[14:03] ---
    drifted over to Hidden Sound Village
     one after another.
[14:07] ---
    Eventually jobs from
    the feudal lord stopped coming.
[14:12] ---
    Shiin the leader of the clan that
    had lost its means of livelihood
[14:16] ---
    set his eyes on the mine in this village…
[14:22] ---
    The plan was to just threaten
    and chase off the villagers.
[14:26] ---
    But I encountered
    unexpected resistance,
[14:30] ---
    and I got scared and tried to escape…
[14:35] ---
    What’re you hesitating for?
     Hurry up and take care of him.
[14:39] ---
    Father! Father!
[14:45] ---
    Stop it!
[14:50] ---
    You… You jerk!
[14:54] ---
    Look out!
[15:03] ---
    I’m a member of a clan that
    has committed crimes.
[15:07] ---
    It would’ve been better if
    I’d just died like that…
[15:10] ---
    How easy things would’ve been
     if I could’ve died then…
[15:17] ---
    I got scared thinking about
     the villagers who died…
[15:21] ---
    I wanted to forget.
[15:24] ---
    And so I cowardly escaped into
    a Jutsu passed down through the clan
[15:27] ---
    that erases memory.
[15:30] ---
    However, the Jutsu didn’t work
     very well…
[15:34] ---
    I only temporarily lost my memory
    and it came back in a few hours.
[15:43] ---
    Then you had your memory
     the whole time?!
[15:47] ---
    I’m sorry…
[15:49] ---
    Knock it off!
[15:51] ---
    Then why didn’t you tell me about
    that honestly from the start?!
[15:55] ---
    If you had, it would’ve been…
[15:57] ---
    I didn’t have the courage to make
    the crimes of the clan public.
[16:03] ---
    But I thought the clan must
    not commit any further crimes.
[16:10] ---
    So I pretended to lose
    my memory.
[16:13] ---
    And to prevent the clan from
    adding to their crimes…
[16:17] ---
    I wanted to bring some of you
     Leaf Shinobi here
[16:21] ---
    and have you help out.
[16:23] ---
    I knew of Shiin’s next plan.
[16:26] ---
    There must not be any
     more village casualties.
[16:30] ---
    Stopping that is my duty
    for having survived.
[16:35] ---
    Duty…?
[16:36] ---
    I needed the help
    of the Leaf Shinobi
[16:39] ---
    before Shiin could
    execute his next plan…
[16:46] ---
    I wanted to round them all up
     during the attack earlier.
[16:51] ---
    But since things have come this far,
    I’ll stop the flood.
[16:56] ---
    Thanks, Naruto…
[17:00] ---
    I leave Shiin to you.
    Find and stop him, no matter what.
[17:06] ---
    You… This…?
[17:08] ---
    This is goodbye.
[17:10] ---
    Somebody has to blow up
    the Letter Bombs inside…
[17:14] ---
    If you do that, you’ll…!
[17:16] ---
    Thanks to you, my life has
     taken on more meaning…
[17:29] ---
    What’s that sound?
[17:31] ---
    There are intermittent explosions
    occurring upriver…
[17:35] ---
    The village will be engulfed in
    a mudslide if the dam breaks!
[17:38] ---
    No…!
[17:39] ---
    Neji…
[17:56] ---
    It’s coming!
[18:12] ---
    Goodbye…
[18:13] ---
    Naruto…
[18:20] ---
    Menma!
[18:26] ---
    Wh-What happened…?
[18:29] ---
    It seems the crumbled mountain
     stopped the mudslide…
[18:32] ---
    Then, that means the village is saved?
[18:35] ---
    Yeah…
[18:36] ---
    – Thank goodness!
    – That’s a relief…
[18:52] ---
    H-How can that be?!
[18:56] ---
    Menma!!
[19:06] ---
    That jerk…!
[19:08] ---
    He won’t get away!
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[19:14] ---
    Hold it!
[19:17] ---
    Interfering with our plan!
[19:24] ---
    You think such a Jutsu will work
     on me… Huh?!
[19:31] ---
    Die!
[19:35] ---
    I’ll stop you in Menma’s place!
[19:39] ---
    What?!
[19:40] ---
    Rasengan!
[19:55] ---
    He sacrificed his life to save
     the village, huh…?
[19:59] ---
    No matter what his past was,
    he was a good guy at heart…
[20:03] ---
    Mister…
[20:05] ---
    I wanted to say a word of apology.
[20:08] ---
    Not being able to remember
    anything until the end
[20:12] ---
    might have been salvation for him…
[20:28] ---
    It was a promise, right?
    To eat this with you.
[20:33] ---
    You don’t need
    to say anything to him?
[20:35] ---
    He’ll be fine if he has an appetite.
    I know how he is.
[20:39] ---
    He’ll overcome it on his own
    as time passes.
[20:43] ---
    For a while he’ll probably remember
    each time he eats ramen…
[20:47] ---
    That’s fine.
[20:49] ---
    People can get stronger
    precisely because
[20:52] ---
    they have feelings
    that are never forgotten…
[20:54] ---
    That’s what’s called growth.
[21:03] ---
    Damn… This is good!
[21:13] ---
    Menma…
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:54] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:59] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:08] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:38] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:51] ---
    The Village Hidden in the Sand
    requested an auxiliary force?
[22:53] ---
    Ones who call themselves
    the Four Celestials
[22:55] ---
    took one of Sand Village’s Ninja
     candidates as a hostage
[22:57] ---
    and escaped towards
    the Land of Fire.
[23:00] ---
    Presently, Gaara and others
    are chasing them.
[23:02] ---
    That means an ambush, doesn’t it?
[23:04] ---
    I will leave the strategy up to you.
[23:05] ---
    Take some Genin you can use
    and leave within half an hour.
[23:09] ---
    – That’s all.
    – Hold on please.
[23:10] ---
    What is it?
[23:11] ---
    Let me borrow Sakura.

[00:07] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[00:19] ---
    Oh, long time no see.
[00:21] ---
    We don’t have much time
    to get nostalgic.
[00:24] ---
    We’ve got a mission.
[00:29] ---
    That I see over there
    is the Village of Artisans, isn’t it?
[00:32] ---
    Yeah. It’s a village of professionals
    who develop Ninja tools.
[00:36] ---
    The exceptional Ninja tools
    they develop are also
[00:39] ---
    supplied to us
    in the Five Great Nations…
[00:42] ---
    But there’s been
    a strange rumor recently.
[00:45] ---
    A strange rumor?
[00:47] ---
    Something about them developing
    the ultimate weapon
[00:50] ---
    and attempting to antagonize
    the Five Great Nations.
[00:54] ---
    In other words, we should
    search the village and…
[00:56] ---
    verify whether or not
    there is that ultimate weapon, right?
[01:01] ---
    That’s about the size of it.
[01:03] ---
    Piece of cake.
[01:28] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:54] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[02:00] ---
    because we were always together
[02:07] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[02:12] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[02:18] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[02:24] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[02:32] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[02:44] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[02:50] ---
    Our two hearts
[03:15] ---
    Hey! Something strange is going on.
[03:17] ---
    What is it?!
[03:19] ---
    There’s not a soul in the village!
[03:21] ---
    I also found something terrible
    on top of that.
[03:24] ---
    What?!
[03:32] ---
    It’s that.
[03:34] ---
    The coffin of Seimei, the founder of
    the Village of Artisans.
[03:38] ---
    Even his body is…
[03:39] ---
    This is serious.
[03:43] ---
    The artisans abandoned their village.
    Where in the world did they go?
[03:48] ---
    The Targeted Shukaku
[04:01] ---
    I’m hungry, I’m hungry!
[04:03] ---
    Maybe I’ll treat myself and have
    two eggs in my ramen today.
[04:12] ---
    Huh?
[04:19] ---
    What’s going on there?!
[04:21] ---
    Did I keep you waiting by any chance?
[04:23] ---
    Not really. I just got here a bit before.
[04:27] ---
    That’s good… Then, here.
[04:30] ---
    I made sure to hand it to you.
[04:32] ---
    Yeah, yeah. What a pain.
[04:36] ---
    Just a minute!
[04:38] ---
    What’re you guys doing…
[04:41] ---
    all in secret in a place like this
    without even asking me?!
[04:43] ---
    –Naruto? –Huh?
[04:45] ---
    You’re terrible, just terrible, Sakura!
[04:48] ---
    Here you won’t even go out
    on a date with me at all!
[04:51] ---
    Why're you talking gibberish
    all of a sudden?
[04:54] ---
    Ouch-ouch-ouch-ouch…
[04:58] ---
    An errand for the Old Lady?
[05:00] ---
    Yes. It seems a new poison
    was discovered or something.
[05:04] ---
    I delivered a list of
    research medicinal substance
[05:06] ---
    for Shikamaru’s father to prepare.
[05:09] ---
    Oh, that’s it?!
[05:10] ---
    Jeez, you jump to conclusions.
[05:13] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
[05:15] ---
    an update report from Temari
    has been delivered to Lady Tsunade.
[05:19] ---
    An update report?
[05:21] ---
    So? What exactly?
[05:23] ---
    I heard that the Village Hidden in
    the Sand started Ninja education,
[05:27] ---
    imitating the curriculum program
    of the Leaf’s.
[05:30] ---
    It seems that Temari and her brothers
    are working as instructors.
[05:34] ---
    Instructors?!
[05:35] ---
    Is that harsh woman fit to be
    something like an instructor…?
[05:39] ---
    Really? That Gaara, huh…?
[05:53] ---
    This is hands-on training.
[05:54] ---
    Choose from among these
    a Ninja tool that suits you.
[05:59] ---
    What is it?
[06:01] ---
    Do we absolutely have to choose?!
[06:07] ---
    What do you mean?
[06:09] ---
    We’ll end up hurting the other person
    if we use a weapon.
[06:13] ---
    We might kill them.
[06:17] ---
    A weapon is…
[06:30] ---
    No, never mind…
[06:37] ---
    A mission isn’t a game.
[06:39] ---
    If you were to enter a field of battle
    with that frame of mind, you'd die.
[06:42] ---
    I-I’m sorry.
[06:44] ---
    You got Gaara angry because
    you ask stupid questions.
[06:48] ---
    You are in trouble.
[06:54] ---
    The three of us will conduct
    hands-on training.
[06:58] ---
    Gather in the respective class
    of your choice.
[07:02] ---
    Gaara, put a smile on!
[07:04] ---
    They'll get scared and nobody will
    choose you with that sulky look.
[07:09] ---
    My dad said that Gaara
    was the Sand’s ultimate weapon.
[07:14] ---
    Yeah. He's so powerful that the village
    would be destroyed, if he got mad.
[07:18] ---
    He’s scary, so let’s not bother.
[07:21] ---
    All right, I’m with Temari.
[07:23] ---
    I’ll be with Kankuro!
[07:24] ---
    – Me too! – Me too!
[07:27] ---
    – Me too! – Me too!
[07:30] ---
    Please be my teacher.
[07:38] ---
    Earlier, he was trying to
    teach me something…
[07:47] ---
    Excuse me… Please be my teacher.
[07:53] ---
    Are you okay with me?
[07:55] ---
    Please teach me!
[08:01] ---
    This is cool.
[08:03] ---
    That’s too big!
[08:05] ---
    I’ll take this.
[08:23] ---
    What’s your name?
[08:24] ---
    I’m Matsuri.
[08:26] ---
    Matsuri, choose a weapon.
[08:52] ---
    What’s the matter?
[08:59] ---
    Come at me with that weapon
    with the intent to kill me.
[09:03] ---
    Yes, sir…
[09:08] ---
    They say an ogre with Iron Club
    is invincible. But you are no ogre.
[09:12] ---
    Yes, sir. Please tell me
    what I should choose.
[09:23] ---
    The weapon called the Rope Javelin.
[09:25] ---
    Rope Javelin…
[09:32] ---
    The sharp blade on the end of the rope
[09:35] ---
    is to keep an enemy out of one's reach,
    rather than for attack.
[09:39] ---
    And you seal off an enemy’s movement
    with the rope.
[09:47] ---
    Practice until you can control it
    as a part of your body.
[09:50] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:20] ---
    Damn. Who are you guys?!
[10:27] ---
    Is this all
    the Sand Village Shinobi have?
[10:32] ---
    Wait.
[10:33] ---
    Leave this guy alive.
    We can use him to draw that one out.
[10:45] ---
    Hang in there! What is it?!
    What happened?
[10:48] ---
    Take me to Gaara… Quickly.
[11:23] ---
    What’s the matter?
[11:24] ---
    My mother and father were hit with
    countless weapons right in front of me.
[11:30] ---
    So I…
[11:34] ---
    For what purpose
    do you hold a weapon?
[11:38] ---
    He…
[11:41] ---
    What are…
[11:44] ---
    …these two to you?!
[11:48] ---
    Th-These guys are…
[11:52] ---
    …my friends!
[11:54] ---
    Try laying so much as
    another finger on them!
[11:57] ---
    I’ll clobber you!
[12:00] ---
    He said that to me.
[12:11] ---
    That’s what we’re after: Gaara.
[12:20] ---
    Gaara, we were
    just coming to get you.
[12:24] ---
    The patrol Ninja was
    attacked by somebody.
[12:26] ---
    Guys calling themselves
    The Four Celestials
[12:29] ---
    brandishing strange weapons,
    said to tell Gaara that…
[12:35] ---
    "We declare a challenge to you,
    the ultimate weapon.
[12:41] ---
    "If you don’t accept the challenge,
[12:43] ---
    "we will take away one person
    close to you every day…
[12:48] ---
    "and they shall
    pay the price for you."
[12:59] ---
    You there.
[13:01] ---
    Are you Gaara’s student?
[13:06] ---
    You shall be the first sacrifice.
[13:28] ---
    What’s this Rope Javelin?!
[13:29] ---
    Wait!
[13:35] ---
    The enemy went northeast…
[13:36] ---
    Matsuri has become a first sacrifice…
[13:39] ---
    But the real target of the guys who
    call themselves the Four Celestials is…
[13:42] ---
    you, Gaara.
[13:44] ---
    Yeah…
[13:46] ---
    This must be brought to
    a Jonin Council at once…
[13:57] ---
    In the northeastern direction
[13:59] ---
    where the ones who call themselves
    the Four Celestials left,
[14:02] ---
    there is the Village Hidden in the Leaves
    of the Land of Fire,
[14:04] ---
    with the Land of Rivers
    sandwiched between.
[14:06] ---
    Therefore, we will be requesting
    the assistance of the Leaf…
[14:12] ---
    Temari, Kankuro, Gaara.
[14:14] ---
    Form a unit and prepare for
    pursuit immediately.
[14:19] ---
    Hold it.
[14:20] ---
    The enemy is after Gaara.
[14:22] ---
    That would be like walking
    right into a trap they laid.
[14:26] ---
    That’s right.
    Why won’t you send a party?!
[14:30] ---
    It might be a diversionary tactic
    by the enemy.
[14:33] ---
    The village will become shorthanded
    if we send out pursuers.
[14:36] ---
    Then you at least could
    come with us, right, Baki?!
[14:44] ---
    Most likely, the enemy is
    after Shukaku.
[14:47] ---
    Gaara is the Sand’s ultimate weapon.
[14:50] ---
    If we know that…
[14:52] ---
    But it's also a dangerous
    double-edged sword to the village.
[14:57] ---
    If they would do us the favor
    facing each other and perishing…
[15:04] ---
    Then at least
    I should go with them.
[15:07] ---
    No. You have a different mission.
[15:10] ---
    Just send those three!
[15:19] ---
    Hey, how about it?!
[15:21] ---
    I’ve been given
    a different mission, you see…
[15:25] ---
    Go. She’s your student, right?
[15:32] ---
    Let’s go, Kankuro.
[15:47] ---
    Will it be okay with her?!
[15:49] ---
    She’s just a kid.
[15:51] ---
    Will he come?!
[15:53] ---
    If he doesn’t come, we’ll just sacrifice
    those close to him one after another.
[16:03] ---
    That is…?
[16:13] ---
    It’s a message from the Sand Village!
[16:16] ---
    Gaara? Why?
[16:19] ---
    Who knows?
    The goal is a challenge to Gaara.
[16:23] ---
    The hostage is a Ninja school student.
[16:26] ---
    The enemy is escaping in the direction of
    the Land of Fire from the Land of Rivers.
[16:30] ---
    Gaara, Temari and Kankuro are
    chasing after them.
[16:34] ---
    At this point, that’s all we know.
[16:37] ---
    You want me to set up an operation
    to stop the overconfident jerks
[16:40] ---
    who challenged Gaara
    just with that information?
[16:44] ---
    Yeah. We’re on friendly terms
    with the Sand Village, so.
[16:48] ---
    Just a minute.
[16:50] ---
    They came during the Sasuke incident
    with much less information than now.
[16:55] ---
    Things are more bothersome
    than that time!
[16:58] ---
    Our range would widen significantly
    if we ambushed them
[17:00] ---
    instead of pursuing them.
[17:02] ---
    There’s also the incident in question
    in the Village of Artisans,
[17:04] ---
    and the Jonin and Chunin
    are all away…
[17:07] ---
    – Shizune… – Yes, ma’am!
[17:11] ---
    Those are the only Genin
    we can use now.
[17:14] ---
    Take the Genin you want to use
[17:16] ---
    and leave the village
    within thirty minutes!
[17:19] ---
    Sakura’s name isn’t on here.
[17:23] ---
    Yeah. She’s doing
    Medical Ninjutsu training now, so.
[17:26] ---
    I’ll accept the mission.
    But I have one condition.
[17:32] ---
    Please let me borrow Sakura.
[17:35] ---
    Sakura?
[17:44] ---
    It’s almost time!
    ls this everyone, Shikamaru?!
[17:48] ---
    One person still hasn’t come.
[17:50] ---
    Could that be…?
[17:53] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[17:56] ---
    I can’t do a mission hungry.
    So I stopped by Ichiraku for a bit.
[18:00] ---
    What?! That's not fair just you
    getting to eat! I'll also…
[18:03] ---
    All right! Now we’ve got
    all our members together! We’re off!
[18:08] ---
    Huh? What? This is it?!
[18:11] ---
    I'd heard this was an operation
    with a mobilization
[18:13] ---
    of the Genin
    remaining in the village!
[18:15] ---
    This is everyone, I tell you!
[18:17] ---
    That’s messed up!
[18:18] ---
    Setting aside Sakura who’s training,
[18:20] ---
    there should still be
    Shino, Neji and Hinata!
[18:23] ---
    No mistake. It’s weird Akamaru and I
    being the only Ninja
[18:27] ---
    with search ability.
[18:29] ---
    So is this team
    a go-for-it super attack-type?
[18:33] ---
    Yeah. I name us
    Team Return the Favor.
[18:37] ---
    What lame naming!
[18:40] ---
    The guys from the Sand Village
    helped us during the Sasuke incident!
[18:45] ---
    In a manner, this operation will be
    returning the favor from that time!
[18:48] ---
    All right! Guys, let’s make sure to
    return the favor from that time.
[18:53] ---
    You’re not the leader!
[18:56] ---
    Shikamaru the Chunin is the leader
    of this platoon, right?!
[18:59] ---
    That’s right…
[19:00] ---
    Jeez, then let’s settle on a strategy
    and get going as soon as possible.
[19:05] ---
    Are we going in one line
    as we did for the Sasuke incident?
[19:09] ---
    There’s no doubting the conditions
    are similar to the Sasuke incident.
[19:13] ---
    However, the strategies for pursuit
    and ambush are completely different!
[19:17] ---
    We can’t follow them with Byakugan
    or by using Akamaru’s nose.
[19:21] ---
    No mistake about that.
[19:23] ---
    It’s unconventional, but since these are
    all the people we’ve got,
[19:25] ---
    we’ll act in groups of two basis
    as Two-Man Cells.
[19:29] ---
    Solo action is prohibited
    no matter what the case!
[19:32] ---
    We owe a debt to the Ninja in
    the Sand Village.
[19:35] ---
    However, although this is to repay a debt,
    no way will we produce casualties!
[19:40] ---
    Yeah, I got it.
[19:48] ---
    – Follow me, Ino. – Right!
[19:51] ---
    Choji, you go with Kiba…
[19:53] ---
    I’m counting on you, Choji, Akamaru.
[19:55] ---
    Right…
[19:57] ---
    Lee, you’re with Naruto…
[19:58] ---
    Right. Please refrain
    from selfish actions.
[20:02] ---
    You don’t need to remind me like that.
[20:04] ---
    Also, the four people Naruto mentioned
    earlier have left before us.
[20:09] ---
    Four people, do you mean
    Shino, Neji, Hinata and Sakura?
[20:13] ---
    Yeah. The four will be
    going their separate ways
[20:16] ---
    and won’t take part in future battles!
[20:18] ---
    Why not?!
[20:20] ---
    Isn’t that an incredible waste
    of battle strength?!
[20:23] ---
    In place of that, we get a wider range
    of search action…
[20:26] ---
    And we’ll have them focus on
    medical action in the case of battle starting.
[20:31] ---
    I have been entrusted with your lives
    and this is my strategy!
[21:10] ---
    All right, just wait, Gaara!
[21:13] ---
    I’ll make sure to return the favor!
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:54] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:59] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:38] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    One of the enemies uses wind, huh?
    lnteresting. I will be her opponent!
[22:55] ---
    Then I’ll take on the guy who brandishes
    the sword that looks like a kid’s toy.
[23:00] ---
    We’ll take care of this.
    You go ahead, Gaara.
[23:02] ---
    But, will it be okay?
[23:04] ---
    We don’t need your help
    to deal with these chumps.
[23:08] ---
    You hurry, Gaara. That girl is
    your student, isn’t she?
[23:11] ---

[00:32] ---
    Gaara.
[00:33] ---
    Kankuro.
[00:35] ---
    Gaara.
[00:37] ---
    Primary Lotus!
[00:43] ---
    Damn it! Can’t hold any further.
[00:49] ---
    You can’t even howl like a loser?
[00:56] ---
    Die!
[00:58] ---
    You’re mine!
[01:00] ---
    Don't you be smiling
    before you're going to die!
[01:12] ---
    What?!
[01:21] ---
    Who’re you?!
[01:27] ---
    Heh… It seems
    you’re an ally this time…
[01:40] ---
    Who are you?!
[01:42] ---
    A Sand…
[01:45] ---
    …Shinobi…
[01:47] ---
    …ally of the Leaf!
[02:02] ---
    Well, be careful going home.
[02:06] ---
    Okay.
[02:11] ---
    If something happens again,
    I’ll come to your rescue again…
[02:14] ---
    Just let me know, crybaby.
[02:17] ---
    You always say too much.
    That’s why girls are…
[02:28] ---
    I’ll return the favor twice the amount
    from that time.
[02:46] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru.
    What’s the matter?
[02:49] ---
    We’ll stand by here for a while.
[02:51] ---
    Stand by?
[02:52] ---
    We don’t have time fooling around
    in a place like this!
[02:56] ---
    Be quiet for a second, Naruto.
[02:59] ---
    That’s right.
    Shikamaru’s got a proper plan.
[03:03] ---
    Right, right. Naruto, you have to
    be sure to obey the leader.
[03:09] ---
    Fine.
[03:27] ---
    Shino, I’m counting on you.
[03:30] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[03:56] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[04:02] ---
    because we were always together
[04:09] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[04:14] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[04:20] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[04:27] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[04:34] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[04:46] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[04:53] ---
    Our two hearts
[05:12] ---
    Sand Alliance with the Leaf Shinobi
[05:19] ---
    So, Kujaku? What’s going on
    with our pursuers?
[05:22] ---
    Yeah, we went to the trouble of
    leaving footprints as we go.
[05:26] ---
    We need them to follow.
[05:34] ---
    It’ll be okay. They’ll be within
    firing range immediately!
[05:38] ---
    There are three pursuers.
    One of them is Gaara!
[05:41] ---
    As for the extra two, we'll leave one
    for each respectively
[05:44] ---
    and deal with them with
    One Shinobi, One Kill…
[05:46] ---
    I’ll isolate Gaara and drive him into
    the Reverse Scale Position.
[05:50] ---
    I’ll take the first person.
[05:52] ---
    All right, go.
[06:07] ---
    It's not necessary to drive him
    into the Reverse Scale Position.
[06:11] ---
    There are only three of them.
    I can handle them by myself.
[06:18] ---
    Flying Kujaku Double Edge Sword:
[06:21] ---
    Whirlwind!
[06:26] ---
    What?!
[06:28] ---
    What is this?
[06:30] ---
    A wind user, huh?
[06:33] ---
    Interesting!
[06:52] ---
    – Splendid.
    – Not bad, Temari.
[06:54] ---
    Naturally.
[06:56] ---
    Not half bad.
[07:07] ---
    To think you’d blow away my Whirlwind.
[07:10] ---
    What, you’re still just a kid?
[07:15] ---
    – You guys go on ahead.
    – What?
[07:17] ---
    Hey, Temari. You okay with this?
[07:20] ---
    Will you be okay?
[07:21] ---
    Well, we’re fellow wind users.
[07:24] ---
    I should be able to handle her alone.
[07:28] ---
    Hurry, Gaara.
[07:30] ---
    She’s your student, right?
[07:33] ---
    Thanks.
[07:34] ---
    – I’m counting on you.
    – Be careful.
[07:36] ---
    Right.
[07:37] ---
    You won’t get away.
[07:39] ---
    I’m your opponent.
[07:41] ---
    Cyclone Scythe Jutsu.
[07:48] ---
    Wind Slash.
[07:57] ---
    This wind is…
[07:59] ---
    These double swords alter the wind
    at my will to suit the attacks
[08:03] ---
    and amplify the power to the extreme.
[08:06] ---
    It’s too late to regret.
[08:08] ---
    I only need a little bit of Chakra
    as long as I have these swords.
[08:11] ---
    How long can you pesevere with
    the limited Chakra you have?
[08:15] ---
    How about testing that out?
[08:22] ---
    Matsuri.
[08:26] ---
    We caught up.
[08:29] ---
    Where are we?
[08:31] ---
    So you’re awake?
[08:34] ---
    Heh. You’re like prey plunged on
    a branch by a shrike.
[08:37] ---
    You’re the bait to lure him out.
[08:39] ---
    What?
[08:43] ---
    Gaara Sensei.
[08:50] ---
    Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[08:57] ---
    What?
[09:06] ---
    Darn it.
[09:17] ---
    Did you see that? This is the Dragon Eye:
    Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[09:22] ---
    You’re just a kid!
[09:27] ---
    I see.
[09:28] ---
    It’s an adjustable sword with daggers
[09:31] ---
    connected by an iron wire
    going through the center.
[09:35] ---
    Like a Bamboo Snake?
    How nostalgic.
[09:38] ---
    I used one a lot with puppet games
    when I was a kid.
[09:44] ---
    It can look like a living snake
    depending on how it’s controlled.
[09:47] ---
    But there’s no point
    once it’s been identified.
[09:51] ---
    Though we both use Puppets,
    compared to mine, it’s just a kid’s toy.
[09:55] ---
    Go, Gaara.
[09:56] ---
    Can I leave it to you?
[09:58] ---
    Yeah. I don’t need your help for this.
    I’ll catch up right away.
[10:02] ---
    I’m counting on you.
[10:04] ---
    Now, bring it on. I’ll play with you.
[10:07] ---
    What’re you doing acting tough?
[10:09] ---
    You’ll die if you take me lightly!
[10:12] ---
    That goes for you!
[10:15] ---
    Then die, Kabuki makeup jerk!
[10:19] ---
    Here I go.
[10:39] ---
    That’s no good.
[10:40] ---
    Come on, that was too easy.
[10:52] ---
    Too bad. This sword
    isn’t just an adjustable sword.
[10:57] ---
    The sword itself amplifies Chakra
    in response to my Chakra
[11:01] ---
    and changes into the form of a dragon.
[11:04] ---
    Gaara, I’m sorry.
    This might take a little time.
[11:11] ---
    Suiko, you ambush him here.
[11:14] ---
    Draw him into
    the Reverse Scale Position. Got it?
[11:17] ---
    Yeah…
[11:32] ---
    You won’t get through here.
[11:35] ---
    Gaara, fight me.
[11:37] ---
    Very well.
[11:39] ---
    Bring it.
[11:58] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru. How long are we
    going to stay like this?
[12:01] ---
    Shut up. There are many difficulties
    with ambushes.
[12:06] ---
    Right now, Shino, Neji and Hinata
    are taking on those difficulties for us.
[12:11] ---
    What? They are?
[12:23] ---
    Did you find them?
[12:24] ---
    Byakugan!
[12:37] ---
    In that direction, right?
[12:39] ---
    Byakugan!
[12:54] ---
    Got it. There are three battle areas.
[13:10] ---
    It’s the scent bag of
    the female Parasitic Insects.
[13:12] ---
    With this, the insects will find you
    no matter where you go.
[13:16] ---
    Right. I’m counting on you, Shino.
[13:19] ---
    Then, we’ll be going on ahead.
[13:21] ---
    Be careful!
[13:23] ---
    Oh, information has arrived.
[13:26] ---
    I was getting sick of waiting!
[13:28] ---
    All right, I’m counting on you guys.
[13:36] ---
    This is bad.
    lt’s already begun.
[13:39] ---
    All right, Kiba and Choji,
    you take the western forest.
[13:43] ---
    Ino and I will take the northeastern hills.
[13:45] ---
    Naruto and Lee, you take
    the northwestern forest.
[13:49] ---
    We’ll take on back-up
    in two-man cells.
[13:52] ---
    Now then, let’s begin
    the favor-returning operation.
[13:56] ---
    – Right. – Right.
[13:58] ---
    I was waiting for this time!
[14:00] ---
    Scatter.
[14:14] ---
    What is it?
[14:15] ---
    Hold up.
[14:19] ---
    If the guys who are fleeing will take on
    pursuers with One Shinobi, One Kill,
[14:24] ---
    the battle area not being
    a straight line means…
[14:28] ---
    Could it be a Barrier?
[14:30] ---
    What?
[14:31] ---
    Just to be safe.
[14:46] ---
    That should do it. Let’s go.
[14:48] ---
    Right.
[15:07] ---
    Now, there’s nowhere left to hide.
    What will you do?
[15:12] ---
    To think she’d evade all of my attacks.
[15:16] ---
    Since it’s come to this, I’ve just got to
    use that technique!
[15:22] ---
    Wind Style: Sea Dragon!
[15:29] ---
    What’s that? Nothing’s happening.
[15:34] ---
    How pitiful. It seems the wind
    doesn’t like you.
[15:38] ---
    I don’t know about that.
[15:45] ---
    The wind is my friend.
[16:07] ---
    This battle is just starting.
[16:10] ---
    Wind Reversal!
[16:24] ---
    Die!
[16:29] ---
    Darn it! Hey, let go!
[16:32] ---
    Done already? I thought
    we could play a little more…
[16:44] ---
    That’s the spirit!
[16:53] ---
    What kind of toy is it this time?
[17:10] ---
    That’s funny. You think you can
    defeat me with junk like this?
[17:15] ---
    The junk is your sword.
[17:39] ---
    What?! A three-headed dragon!
[17:42] ---
    You’re just quick to escape, eh?
[17:47] ---
    Darn it.
[17:48] ---
    Sure enough,
    Crow is at a disadvantage
[17:51] ---
    unless teamed up with Black Ant.
[18:14] ---
    Not bad, Gaara of the desert.
[18:17] ---
    How much Chakra is built up
    in that sand?
[18:22] ---
    You want to test that out?
[18:24] ---
    However…
[18:25] ---
    It’ll be in exchange for your life.
[18:34] ---
    Sand Coffin!
[18:53] ---
    Impossible.
[18:56] ---
    That’s a nice sand bath.
[18:58] ---
    You, the sand’s Chakra…
[19:01] ---
    Exactly. This armor sucks up Chakra.
[19:13] ---
    Aw, is this good night?
[19:16] ---
    Just sleep as is! For all eternity!!
[19:26] ---
    What?!
[19:39] ---
    That was a close shave,
[19:41] ---
    but Shadow Possession Jutsu
    was a success!
[19:47] ---
    Die already!
[19:51] ---
    Uh, oh!
[19:54] ---
    What?
[20:12] ---
    You guys.
[20:14] ---
    Who are you?
[20:16] ---
    Who are you guys?
[20:18] ---
    – An ally of the Sand.
    – An ally of the Sand.
[20:20] ---
    – Leaf Shinobi.
    – Leaf Shinobi
[20:22] ---
    Believe it!
[20:25] ---
    He’s not here!
[20:26] ---
    – They're further ahead.
    – Right!
[20:29] ---
    Guys, fight as much as you want.
[20:31] ---
    I don’t see any Chakra abnormalities
    in the basin…
[20:36] ---
    There’s no Barrier.
[20:40] ---
    Good luck, guys.
[20:42] ---
    I’ll protect you.
[20:58] ---
    Gaara Sensei.
[21:09] ---
    Just wait, Gaara!
[21:12] ---
    We’ll return the favor, no matter what.
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:18] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    Damn it.
    This was their aim from the start.
[22:55] ---
    To think they would take advantage
    of the terrain.
[22:57] ---
    Damn. At this rate,
    Gaara will be in danger.
[23:02] ---
    That’s been said,
    we can’t move from here.
[23:05] ---
    Please hurry, Naruto, Lee.
[23:08] ---
    You two are the only ones
    who can help Gaara now.
[23:11] ---
    Next time:

[00:08] ---
    To think the Leaf’s reinforcements
    will be you of all people!
[00:12] ---
    A man should always repay
    the debt he owes a woman.
[00:17] ---
    Always the bothersome guy with
    the man and woman stuff!
[00:22] ---
    Gaara and Kankuro are chasing after
    the guys who took our village girl.
[00:26] ---
    Forget about here and
    head for them!
[00:28] ---
    We’ve received information.
[00:30] ---
    Gaara and Kankuro have entered
    their respective battles.
[00:34] ---
    I see…
[00:36] ---
    The shadow won’t reach, I guess…
[00:40] ---
    Leaf Village’s two-man cells are
    just now heading there for back-up.
[00:45] ---
    How well prepared.
[00:47] ---
    It’s a pain,
[00:48] ---
    but as long as we’re doing this,
    we’ll do it right.
[00:50] ---
    We’ll do it perfectly without
    producing casualties!
[00:54] ---
    Make sure you don’t cry
    in front of me this time.
[00:58] ---
    Are you going to hold
    that over my head forever?
[01:02] ---
    Just like a woman…
[01:05] ---
    I-I feel like I don’t really
    have my place in this.
[01:09] ---
    I’ll take care of all of you at once!
[01:14] ---
    Here it comes!
[01:17] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:43] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[01:49] ---
    because we were always together
[01:55] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[02:01] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[02:07] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[02:13] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[02:20] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[02:33] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[02:39] ---
    Our two hearts
[02:58] ---
    Sealed Sand: The Counterattack!
[03:03] ---
    To think you’d ask
    the Leaf Village for help…
[03:07] ---
    I guess the Sand has lost the edge
    they used to have, huh?
[03:10] ---
    Why are you here?
[03:15] ---
    You know, dogs.
[03:17] ---
    They’re not satisfied until a favor
    has been properly returned.
[03:21] ---
    Especially this Akamaru!
[03:26] ---
    A dog retuning a favor doesn’t
    have much of a ring to it!
[03:29] ---
    Help is on the way to
    the other two as well.
[03:32] ---
    You concentrate on this fight!
[03:35] ---
    You’re giving me lip!
[03:38] ---
    So you flies are gonna gang up
    on me, huh?
[03:40] ---
    But you’re no match for my Dragon Eye:
    Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[03:44] ---
    Eat this!
[03:56] ---
    If your Chakra isn't built up,
    your sand is no big deal at all!
[04:01] ---
    It’ll only be useful for
    blinding me at best!
[04:05] ---
    It’s futile!
[04:09] ---
    I feel it.
    Your Chakra is being sucked up.
[04:16] ---
    What?! He was setting the sand
    in the gourd aside?!
[04:36] ---
    I was being cautious,
    but he is much too strong.
[05:23] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[05:52] ---
    Just what I’d expect from
    Gaara of the Sand.
[05:56] ---
    He’s not called the ultimate weapon
    for nothing…
[05:59] ---
    The ultimate…weapon?!
[06:01] ---
    However, he cannot exceed
    our Ninja tools
[06:04] ---
    forged in the Village of the Artisans!
[06:13] ---
    Gaara!
[06:17] ---
    Hey, he’s totally got the edge!
[06:19] ---
    Do we have a chance to
    return the favor?
[06:29] ---
    That’s incredible wind.
    What an amount of Chakra…
[06:32] ---
    No, it seems that sword is
    amplifying her Chakra.
[06:37] ---
    So she’s relying on that sword for
    all of her attack and defense, huh?
[06:42] ---
    Anyway, we’ve got to slip within
    firing range for our Jutsu
[06:46] ---
    and stop her movements!
[06:48] ---
    Right.
[06:50] ---
    Let’s go at once!
[06:55] ---
    Annoying!
[07:10] ---
    She’s attempting to maintain
    her distance just from Temari.
[07:15] ---
    I see.
[07:17] ---
    So she just wants to pay attention
    to the long range-type Temari and
[07:19] ---
    blow us mid-range Jutsu users
    away with wind
[07:22] ---
    before we can get close, huh…?
[07:24] ---
    Now then, what should we do?
[07:29] ---
    Man Beast Clone!
[07:31] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[07:33] ---
    Crow!
[07:35] ---
    – Arms! – Fang Over Fang!
[07:43] ---
    Did you guys come to
    get in my way?!
[07:45] ---
    We made sure to send you
    a signal, right?!
[07:48] ---
    How could I tell?!
[07:49] ---
    We don’t click at all?
[07:52] ---
    Are you guys…messing around?!
[07:54] ---
    Be more serious and die!
[07:57] ---
    Talking nonsense!
[08:32] ---
    Although I reduced the damage
    with my Infinite Kujaku Armor, still…
[08:42] ---
    Just what I’d expect of Gaara,
[08:44] ---
    the Sand’s ultimate weapon
    who hosts the Shukaku…
[08:53] ---
    But you’re already in our hands.
[09:07] ---
    What should I do?
    She’s beyond the range of my Jutsu…
[09:11] ---
    and I don’t see anything around here
    that could be used to extend my shadow.
[09:21] ---
    Hey!
[09:29] ---
    What’re you whispering about?
[09:32] ---
    What’re you thinking?!
[09:35] ---
    I’ll explain later, for crying out loud.
    Can you do it or not?
[09:39] ---
    I suppose I could try, but…
[09:46] ---
    What is it…?
[09:57] ---
    What’s he doing?
[10:07] ---
    Behold the terror of Ninja tools
    our village created.
[10:42] ---
    What’s this Chakra?
[11:00] ---
    This is a water vein!
[11:03] ---
    I get it!
[11:04] ---
    The lines connecting the point
    in the center and triangle isn’t a Barrier…
[11:08] ---
    It’s a water vein!
[11:09] ---
    Ninja Tool Barrier:
    Reverse Scale Formation… Activate!
[11:36] ---
    Oh no!
[11:40] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[11:43] ---
    The aim of the Reverse Scale Formation
    was a single point, Gaara from the start!
[11:46] ---
    Our swords accurately pierce
    a water vein
[11:49] ---
    and summon the water dragon.
[11:52] ---
    Sand has sucked up
    a large amount of water
[11:54] ---
    and has become as heavy as lead…
[11:56] ---
    Now Gaara can no longer use sand.
[12:01] ---
    Gaara!
[12:02] ---
    – Gaara! – Calm down!
[12:04] ---
    Lee and Naruto are heading for Gaara!
[12:07] ---
    That guy is?!
[12:08] ---
    They’ll save Gaara,
    no matter what.
[12:12] ---
    We need to concentrate on
    the enemy in front of us.
[12:26] ---
    To think you’d choose
    a sandy area to fall on…
[12:28] ---
    Just what I’d expect of Gaara
    of the desert…
[12:32] ---
    However!
[12:40] ---
    That’s as far as
    your useless resistance goes!
[12:43] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[12:48] ---
    A hero’s turn always comes late!
[12:53] ---
    That’s right!
[12:58] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Gaara!
[13:00] ---
    Naruto…!
[13:02] ---
    It seems you rushed to everyone
    during the Sasuke incident…
[13:05] ---
    This time we’ve come to return
    the favor from that time.
[13:09] ---
    So we’ll take that guy on!
[13:12] ---
    You hurry to your student straight on!
[13:20] ---
    To think he’d corner you this far…
[13:24] ---
    – Lee! – Sakura!
[13:27] ---
    Leave Gaara’s treatment to me!
    Lee, you go with Naruto!
[13:30] ---
    – Sakura! – Got it!
[13:35] ---
    Then I’ll be going first!
[13:39] ---
    Be careful. His armor sucks up Chakra!
[13:43] ---
    I’ll suck up all of your Chakra!
[13:52] ---
    I see. So this means we can’t
    release our regular power?
[13:56] ---
    That doesn’t matter!
[13:58] ---
    Even without Chakra,
    we’ve got fighting spirit!
[14:02] ---
    Yes! We’ll go with that
    plus willpower!
[14:13] ---
    Just as I thought.
[14:14] ---
    That they haven’t launched anything
    during the fight thus far means
[14:18] ---
    the two reinforcements don’t
    have long range-type Jutsu.
[14:21] ---
    Then I’ll maintain this distance and…
[14:24] ---
    you’ll die getting torn up by the wind!
[14:28] ---
    While she’s distracted by Shikamaru
    and the others,
[14:31] ---
    I’ll just go for it!
[14:33] ---
    Mind Destruction…!
[14:36] ---
    Ino!
[14:38] ---
    Foolish girl. It’s useless to attempt
    to exploit an opening!
[14:42] ---
    You little!
[14:48] ---
    You won’t get close to me!
    I’ve read your range as well!
[14:53] ---
    I don’t know about that…!
[14:55] ---
    Ino! You stay right there!
[15:03] ---
    I’m counting on you…!
[15:04] ---
    Shino! Sakura!
[15:10] ---
    There’s one wounded
    at the waterfall.
[15:13] ---
    Tunneling Fang!
[15:17] ---
    Now!
[15:18] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[15:21] ---
    Oh…!
[15:23] ---
    What’re you doing?!
[15:24] ---
    Are you guys…mocking me?
[15:27] ---
    After sucking up all of your Chakra,
    I’ll be returning the favor plenty!
[15:36] ---
    The contusion treatment is complete.
[15:38] ---
    But, the depletion of Chakra
    is overwhelming.
[15:47] ---
    Contact from your friends…?
[15:49] ---
    – Ino’s hurt?! – Go!
[15:51] ---
    Wha--?! But in your condition…
[15:55] ---
    I’m okay now. Help your friend!
[16:00] ---
    Okay. Don’t push yourself.
[16:03] ---
    Yeah…
[16:09] ---
    What’re you doing?!
    Hurry up and go after your comrade!
[16:13] ---
    I’ll help my comrade.
[16:16] ---
    I’ll settle this in a moment.
[16:17] ---
    But…
[16:20] ---
    Bushy Brow!
[16:27] ---
    Damn it. It’s no good
    just shot-gunning it!
[16:31] ---
    It’s just him?
[16:38] ---
    A part of Black Ant…
[16:40] ---
    Could it be…a signal?
[16:44] ---
    Fang Over Fang once more!
[16:47] ---
    Back me up with Crow!
[16:49] ---
    I’m counting on you
    for back up too, Choji!
[16:51] ---
    Got it!
[16:53] ---
    Heh! Bossing me around.
[17:01] ---
    The counterattack starts now!
[17:04] ---
    It’s futile. Your Jutsu won’t reach me!
[17:07] ---
    You never know until you try, right…?!
[17:11] ---
    Here we go!
[17:12] ---
    Wind Style: Cyclone Scythe!
[17:15] ---
    Huh?!
[17:18] ---
    What’re you aiming at?!
    Totally misguided…
[17:22] ---
    Say what?
[17:24] ---
    What’s the meaning of this?
[17:25] ---
    I’m sure I’d read your range already…!
[17:29] ---
    I’ll show you!
[17:34] ---
    I can create a shadow with
    this thick a current
[17:37] ---
    even if the water’s clear.
[17:39] ---
    My Jutsu’s range has infinitely
    improved by lifting the waterfall!
[17:46] ---
    The Shadow Possession Jutsu
    is a success!
[17:50] ---
    Summoning…
[17:52] ---
    Blade Dance!
[18:09] ---
    This one’s done!
[18:13] ---
    Good grief…
[18:18] ---
    I…couldn’t do anything.
[18:22] ---
    Here everyone’s doing their best…
[18:25] ---
    Only I…
[18:27] ---
    Ino?
[18:30] ---
    Gaara.
[18:36] ---
    You don’t have any sand
    left you can use.
[18:42] ---
    What’s this?!
[18:43] ---
    He smashed the Sand Armor.
[18:45] ---
    No way! But the sand
    heavy with water like that…
[18:50] ---
    If I just suck up the Chakra…
[18:55] ---
    This is my weapon!
[19:13] ---
    You okay, Gaara?!
[19:15] ---
    This is the finishing blow…
[19:18] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[19:19] ---
    Hurry! Leave the rest to us!
[19:25] ---
    Man Beast Clone!
[19:26] ---
    Fang Over Fang!
[19:27] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[19:31] ---
    Annoying buzzing flies!
[19:34] ---
    Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword!
[19:44] ---
    What?!
[19:45] ---
    Oh, no!
[19:49] ---
    Puppet Show…
[19:54] ---
    Secret Black Move Iron Maiden!
[20:06] ---
    The show’s over!
[20:07] ---
    – We did it! – Yeah!
[20:14] ---
    Matsuri.
[20:21] ---
    Gaara and…!
[20:22] ---
    A Shinobi carrying a child on his back.
[20:25] ---
    He’s heading for the valley.
[20:28] ---
    The last one…
[20:30] ---
    Gaara is chasing him!
[20:31] ---
    What?!
[20:37] ---
    You okay, Bushy Brow?
    Sakura will be right back.
[20:41] ---
    Thanks.
[20:42] ---
    Well, I’m going after Gaara!
[20:44] ---
    Got it! I’ll meet up with you later!
[20:57] ---
    I’ve got him cornered.
[21:12] ---
    Matsuri.
[21:18] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:34] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:43] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:48] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:14] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:18] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    I heard you figured out the identities
    of the Four Celestials?
[22:52] ---
    Yes. They are the Ninja of
    the Village of the Artisans
[22:55] ---
    who've been harboring ill feeling
    toward the Five Great Nations.
[22:57] ---
    It seems they’ve completed
    the forbidden project
[22:59] ---
    passed down in the village and
[23:00] ---
    intend to resurrect
    their ultimate weapon.
[23:02] ---
    I see. I take it the other villagers
    got wind of it and evacuated.
[23:07] ---
    Exactly. You head over to
    where they are immediately.
[23:10] ---
    Yes, ma’am.
[23:11] ---

[00:01] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:40] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:57] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:05] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:24] ---
    Our two hearts
[01:49] ---
    This is as far as you go.
    Give Matsuri back.
[01:53] ---
    You think you’ve got me cornered now?
[01:57] ---
    Don’t get the wrong idea.
    You’re the one who’s been cornered!
[02:01] ---
    What?
[02:05] ---
    Byakugan!
[02:08] ---
    He has the final enemy cornered
    in a dead-end valley.
[02:14] ---
    The area around the valley
    is eerily calm.
[02:17] ---
    I don’t see his comrades.
[02:21] ---
    Is Shikamaru’s final move finished?
[02:24] ---
    No.
[02:25] ---
    We can’t state definitively that
    they’ve reached a deadlock.
[02:28] ---
    It’s because it’s possible that
    the battles thus far were diversions.
[02:41] ---
    Just a little more, Lee.
[02:43] ---
    It’ll be over once I connect
    two or three more muscles.
[02:47] ---
    Sakura’s Medical Ninja technique
    is really becoming…
[02:52] ---
    And yet I…
[02:56] ---
    The treatment is over for now.
    How do you fight to get like this?
[03:03] ---
    I’m sorry.
[03:04] ---
    You saved me.
    Thank you, Sakura.
[03:08] ---
    You’re welcome.
[03:10] ---
    Oh, you can’t, yet.
[03:12] ---
    As one of the Medical Team members,
    I prohibit you from fighting any further.
[03:17] ---
    No, please let me go.
[03:19] ---
    I can’t just leave Gaara like this…
[03:23] ---
    We’re Team Return-the-Favor, after all.
[03:26] ---
    The Ultimate Weapon Reborn
[03:31] ---
    Gaara, you may very well be
    called the ultimate weapon,
[03:35] ---
    but have you not used up all of
    your sand in the fight earlier?
[03:41] ---
    This is my weapon.
[03:44] ---
    Indeed I have used up almost all
    of the sand with Chakra built up inside.
[03:50] ---
    But…
[03:51] ---
    No matter what Jutsu you use,
    I must not lose in a one-on-one battle.
[03:58] ---
    There’s nothing scary about
    a Shinobi with no weapon!
[04:06] ---
    Come, Infinite Kujaku Armor!
[04:19] ---
    Fang Release: Dark Sword!
    Flying Double Edge Sword!
[04:30] ---
    You’ll realize that the likes
    of a mere Ninja
[04:34] ---
    is no match for the Ninja tools
    created by us artisans.
[04:53] ---
    Fang Release: Dark Sword!
[05:04] ---
    It seems your own body’s Chakra
    has run out.
[05:07] ---
    You’re carrying
    a monster inside you, right?
[05:13] ---
    Now, isn’t it about time
    you used the power of Shukaku?
[05:37] ---
    You okay?
[05:38] ---
    Gaara Sensei is…
[05:39] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[05:42] ---
    Listen up.
    You hide in a safe place somewhere.
[05:46] ---
    Right.
[05:48] ---
    Although Gaara received
    Sakura’s treatment, he's still…
[05:59] ---
    That’s as far as you go,
    ultimate weapon of the Sand Village!
[06:04] ---
    Damn it.
[06:06] ---
    Use the power of the Shukaku already.
[06:08] ---
    Hey!
[06:09] ---
    Hold it!
[06:12] ---
    Who are you?
[06:14] ---
    I’ll be your opponent from here on.
[06:18] ---
    You’re in the way, boy.
[06:19] ---
    Kujaku Hurricane!
[06:27] ---
    Damn it!
[06:29] ---
    Leaf Shinobi, you watch.
[06:31] ---
    The era of control by
    the Five Great Nations will end.
[06:35] ---
    No, it won’t be just that.
[06:37] ---
    If the ultimate Ninja tool created by
    the Artisan Village is completed,
[06:41] ---
    the existence of the Ninja
    will no longer be necessary.
[06:46] ---
    What’re you talking about?!
[06:48] ---
    We are people from the Village
    of Artisans who for many years
[06:51] ---
    have equally shared
    exceptional Ninja tools
[06:54] ---
    with you in the Five Great Nations.
[06:57] ---
    However, each time relations
    worsened between fellow villages,
[07:00] ---
    the Village of Artisans would be attacked
[07:02] ---
    over fear of Ninja tools crossing
    over to the other village.
[07:05] ---
    You Ninja of the Five Great Nations
    have forgotten
[07:08] ---
    that you are kept alive by our power,
[07:11] ---
    and have returned the favor
    with vengeance time and again.
[07:13] ---
    Although we the people of
    the Village of Artisans have advanced skills,
[07:16] ---
    we have had to survive by currying favor
    from the Five Great Nations!
[07:22] ---
    However, that era will now end!
[07:25] ---
    First, I will take out the Leaf Village.
[07:27] ---
    Fang Release Dark Sword!
[07:33] ---
    How long can you run away for?
[07:42] ---
    I’ll stake you like a shrike!
[07:50] ---
    What?!
[07:58] ---
    You!
[07:59] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[08:01] ---
    Gaara Sensei’s sand
    protected the Leaf Ninja.
[08:09] ---
    That dome created with hard minerals
    in the ground mixed with sand…
[08:13] ---
    can’t be smashed by such junk.
[08:17] ---
    I’ll protect him until the end…
[08:20] ---
    with my power!
[08:23] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[08:24] ---
    Don’t make me laugh!
[08:26] ---
    You, who are called the greatest creation
    of the Sand, a terrifying weapon,
[08:31] ---
    are going to protect someone else?
[08:33] ---
    And you’re going to use
    what little Chakra you have left
[08:35] ---
    for the sake of a comrade?
[08:37] ---
    But that will be your death!
[08:49] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[08:51] ---
    With this,
    all preparations are complete.
[08:54] ---
    Damn it.
[09:01] ---
    Oh!
[09:08] ---
    Gaara!
[09:11] ---
    We were contacted by someone
    from the Village of Artisans.
[09:15] ---
    It seems ones calling themselves
    the Four Celestials,
[09:17] ---
    bearing long-withstanding hostilities
    against the Five Great Nations…
[09:19] ---
    have completed forbidden research and
    are attempting to resurrect
[09:23] ---
    the ultimate weapon of folklore
    in the village.
[09:26] ---
    It seems the villagers got
    wind of the crisis
[09:29] ---
    and have evacuated to
    a different location.
[09:31] ---
    I see. So that’s why the village
    was completely empty.
[09:36] ---
    So what exactly is this ultimate weapon?
[09:40] ---
    The resurrection of Seimei,
    the founder of the Village of Artisans.
[09:44] ---
    Seimei?!
[09:45] ---
    Are you saying
    they’re trying to raise the dead?!
[09:48] ---
    I see. It makes sense that
    the mausoleum was violated.
[09:53] ---
    As for us, we must prevent
    the resurrection
[09:56] ---
    of the ultimate weapon at all costs.
[09:58] ---
    I understand. I’ll be off.
[10:01] ---
    Oh, hold on.
[10:03] ---
    Yes?
[10:03] ---
    I’ll be having one more person
    accompany you on this mission.
[10:07] ---
    What? Who would that be?
[10:15] ---
    What we wanted was
    the Shukaku’s Chakra.
[10:19] ---
    What did you say?
[10:20] ---
    How we’ve waited for this time.
[10:23] ---
    Now Gaara, turn into the Shukaku now.
[10:26] ---
    And infuse me with that power.
[10:29] ---
    Gaara!
[10:31] ---
    I’ll save you now.
[10:33] ---
    Naruto!
[10:36] ---
    Matsuri, take this.
[10:43] ---
    My rope javelin.
[10:56] ---
    The optic nerves have connected…
[10:59] ---
    Open…
[11:01] ---
    third eye!
[11:06] ---
    Hey, you.
[11:09] ---
    What the heck do you intend to start?
[11:12] ---
    I’ll show you.
[11:13] ---
    The ultimate Ninja tool created
    by Lord Seimei,
[11:16] ---
    the founder of our Village of Artisans.
[11:19] ---
    Ultimate Ninja tool?
[11:22] ---
    Now is the time of its completion.
[11:44] ---
    Gaara!
[12:03] ---
    Oh, Lord Seimei.
[12:05] ---
    Please take possession of my flesh
    and complete your resurrection!
[12:13] ---
    Oh!
[12:31] ---
    What’s going on? He vanished.
[12:51] ---
    The dead body came back to life!
[12:55] ---
    My name is Seimei.
    The founder of the Village of Artisans.
[13:01] ---
    A hundred years have passed and
[13:03] ---
    I have now been resurrected
    as the ultimate Ninja tool
[13:06] ---
    of the Village of Artisans!
[13:16] ---
    What in the world is happening here?!
[13:29] ---
    My long-awaited wish has at last
    come to fruition.
[13:34] ---
    With this, my Village of Artisans will reign
    over the Shinobi apex.
[13:40] ---
    I see…
[13:41] ---
    So the monster from the Sand Village
    became the source of my power.
[13:46] ---
    Say what?
[13:47] ---
    Hoko said this.
[13:50] ---
    There is a monster lying
    within the body
[13:53] ---
    of the one called Gaara
    from the Sand Village.
[13:55] ---
    Once that person is in a cage,
[13:57] ---
    soon he will become
    a complete monster, the Shukaku.
[14:02] ---
    I will take away what you could
    consider infinite Chakra from the Shukaku.
[14:08] ---
    I won’t let you do that!
[14:37] ---
    Damn it!
[14:45] ---
    Just wait, Gaara.
    I’ll get you out now.
[14:52] ---
    What a waste…
[14:54] ---
    Vortex Wind.
[15:02] ---
    I’m just getting started!
[15:04] ---
    What a fool!
[15:12] ---
    I’ll get you out now!
[15:16] ---
    Damn it, damn it!
[15:19] ---
    Gaara! Can you hear my voice?!
[15:23] ---
    Gaara, answer me!
    What’s going on in there?!
[15:27] ---
    Gaara!
[15:28] ---
    Gaara!
[15:37] ---
    N-Naruto…
[15:58] ---
    Shikamaru!
[15:59] ---
    What?
[16:00] ---
    Where are Gaara and Naruto?
[16:03] ---
    Neji, Hinata, tell me the situation.
[16:07] ---
    There’s a cage behind an area
    surrounded by rocks…
[16:10] ---
    There’s a massive amount of Chakra
    being extracted from there.
[16:14] ---
    Gaara must be inside.
[16:16] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru!
[16:20] ---
    What?
[16:21] ---
    You know there’s a terrifying power
    lying dormant inside Gaara, right?
[16:25] ---
    Yeah, generally.
[16:28] ---
    Something terrible will happen…
[16:30] ---
    if Gaara has Chakra extracted like this
    and he loses himself!
[16:36] ---
    The Shukaku that had been kept
    under control will go out of control.
[16:39] ---
    Once it starts going berserk,
    there will be no way to stop Gaara.
[16:42] ---
    For real?
[16:44] ---
    I must not waste any more time.
[16:48] ---
    The entertainment ends here.
[16:56] ---
    Hot-hot-hot-hot.
[16:58] ---
    Damn it! Just wait, Gaara!
[17:02] ---
    I’ll get you out now!
[17:05] ---
    You’re a pest!
[17:07] ---
    Give it up already!
[17:14] ---
    I’m just getting started!
[17:23] ---
    Solid Blanks!
[17:44] ---
    Oh, how I have waited for this time.
[17:50] ---
    Now, Shukaku! Give me power!
[18:02] ---
    I feel it. This is an amazing power!
[18:29] ---
    Cut out the futile resistance.
[18:31] ---
    The power of the Shukaku
    is already mine!
[18:34] ---
    I declare war on the Five Great Nations.
[18:38] ---
    The Shinobi in the Five Great Nations
    who made light of the Artisan Shinobi
[18:43] ---
    will fully realize the 100-year grudge
    of the Artisan Ninja.
[18:48] ---
    And they will inevitably
    become our sacrifices.
[18:52] ---
    Knock it off!
[18:53] ---
    What?!
[18:54] ---
    We won’t hand over our power
    to the likes of you.
[19:00] ---
    I won’t let you take away any more
    of Gaara’s Chakra.
[19:04] ---
    You got that?!
[19:08] ---
    How can that person fight
    while getting that beaten up?
[19:13] ---
    Why do you go this far, kid?
[19:17] ---
    What is the monster of
    the Sand Village to you?
[19:21] ---
    Gaara…
[19:24] ---
    Gaara is an important comrade to me!
[19:29] ---
    He said he fights for
    those important to him.
[19:34] ---
    Fights for someone important.
[19:40] ---
    Very well. Then die!
[19:53] ---
    What’re you doing, little girl?
[19:57] ---
    I finally figured out what
    Gaara Sensei taught me.
[20:00] ---
    Weapons took away the lives
    of my mother and father.
[20:04] ---
    But I can also protect those important
    to me with a weapon!
[20:09] ---
    Foolishness.
[20:20] ---
    Damn it!
[20:27] ---
    It has finally begun, huh…?
[20:41] ---
    Gaara Sensei…
[20:52] ---
    Gaara!
[21:08] ---
    Gaara.
[21:18] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:48] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:14] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:18] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    Hey, that’s…
[22:52] ---
    – We were too late.
    – Then, you mean…
[22:54] ---
    Yes. He is starting to transform
    to Shukaku.
[22:56] ---
    Damn! What should we do?
[22:58] ---
    This is bad.
    lf Gaara loses his conscious in that state,
[23:01] ---
    the true Shukaku will come out.
[23:03] ---
    When that happens
    he won’t know a foe from friend,
[23:05] ---
    he will just destroy everything.
[23:07] ---
    All we can do is just stand here
    and watch?!
[23:12] ---
    Next time: “Departure”

[00:09] ---
    So this is the Shukaku?
[00:12] ---
    It’s the first time I’ve seen
    the real thing…
[00:17] ---
    It’s dangerous here!
    We have to get away!
[00:19] ---
    But! Gaara Sensei…
[00:22] ---
    Shut up.
[00:24] ---
    Gaara is trying…to protect you!
[00:28] ---
    So hurry!
[00:29] ---
    R-Right.
[00:33] ---
    Hey! Could that be…?!
[00:35] ---
    Yeah…
[00:37] ---
    The Shukaku transformation
    is starting.
[00:40] ---
    Gaara…
[00:42] ---
    Naruto!
[00:44] ---
    Naruto!
[00:45] ---
    Hinata, Sakura.
[00:48] ---
    Matsuri, you okay?
[00:50] ---
    Y-Yes. But Gaara Sensei…
[00:54] ---
    I leave her to you…
[01:04] ---
    Hold it! You are badly hurt!
[01:09] ---
    But…
[01:10] ---
    You’ll just become unable
    to move right away!
[01:13] ---
    I’ll give you some first-aid treatment!
[01:16] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:42] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[01:48] ---
    because we were always together
[01:54] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[02:00] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[02:06] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[02:12] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[02:19] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[02:32] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[02:38] ---
    Our two hearts
[02:57] ---
    Departure
[03:01] ---
    This is bad… It’s a matter of time.
[03:04] ---
    I knew it.
[03:05] ---
    Sakura! Hurry!
    lt looks like we don’t have much time!
[03:09] ---
    Got it! First, put your hands out.
[03:12] ---
    R-Right…
[03:24] ---
    What’s the meaning of this?
[03:26] ---
    What is it, Neji?
[03:28] ---
    That guy wearing the armor is
    releasing Chakra stronger than Gaara…
[03:32] ---
    who’s half transformed into a beast.
[03:35] ---
    That person called himself Seimei,
    the creator of the Village of Artisans.
[03:40] ---
    He said something about being reborn
    as the ultimate Ninja tool.
[03:43] ---
    That jerk!
    He’s taken away Gaara’s Chakra!
[03:47] ---
    Come to think of it, the enemy
    we fought wore similar armor…
[03:51] ---
    and took away a great deal
    of my Chakra.
[03:54] ---
    Armor that sucks up Chakra…
[03:56] ---
    And that alarming form…
[03:58] ---
    It doesn’t look like
    we can just carelessly get close.
[04:00] ---
    Now… What do we do?
[04:04] ---
    I didn’t figure on fighting
    against the Shukaku…
[04:08] ---
    However, this is fun, too.
[04:11] ---
    As great as the Shukaku may be,
    this way, I can prove that
[04:14] ---
    it’s no match for the ultimate Ninja tool
    of the Village of Artisans.
[04:29] ---
    Why is this guy so strong?
[04:35] ---
    I won’t allow my important people…
[04:38] ---
    to get hurt!
[04:41] ---
    If not, I will stop you,
[04:46] ---
    even if that means that
    I have to kill you!
[04:48] ---
    Why…?
[04:50] ---
    How is it that you can fight
    so much for other people…?
[04:54] ---
    They saved me from
    the hell of being all alone.
[04:59] ---
    They accepted me for
    who I was…
[05:03] ---
    that’s why…
    they are important to me!
[05:08] ---
    Love is a heart that desires to serve
    a precious person who is close to oneself,
[05:13] ---
    and to love and watch over that person…
[05:17] ---
    Love…
[05:21] ---
    That is why he is so strong?
[05:49] ---
    Gaara!
[05:50] ---
    What’s that?
    Gaara Sensei is returning to normal?
[05:53] ---
    What happened to him?!
[05:56] ---
    Gaara might be suppressing
    Shukaku of his own volition.
[06:00] ---
    Why? Wouldn’t he end up weakening
    his own battle strength?
[06:05] ---
    Even so, he chose to fight
    with his own strength and will,
[06:10] ---
    not Shukaku's power,
    which he can’t control.
[06:35] ---
    So you couldn’t maintain
    the Shukaku body with that Chakra?
[06:39] ---
    I’ll…help the friends important
    to me with my own power…
[06:44] ---
    How absurd.
[06:46] ---
    A Shinobi doesn’t need emotion.
[06:48] ---
    It is those who suppress their emotions
    who can obtain great power.
[06:53] ---
    Great power.
    That power is the only justice.
[06:58] ---
    You’re finished now.
[07:05] ---
    Eat this!
[07:16] ---
    That’s as far as you go,
    monster of the Sand Village.
[07:25] ---
    Acting tough, huh…?
[07:27] ---
    You shouldn’t have
    any Chakra left to fight with.
[07:32] ---
    Indeed, I only have a little bit
    of Chakra left…
[07:35] ---
    But do you think I just sat around
    in the cage doing nothing at all?
[07:41] ---
    What?!
[07:44] ---
    Sand Tsunami!
[07:51] ---
    You shouldn’t have
    any sand you can control!
[07:55] ---
    I’m Gaara of the desert!
[07:57] ---
    It’s simple for me to crush rocks
    and turn them into sand.
[08:50] ---
    Kujaku: Hurricane Formation!
[08:56] ---
    So you still had
    that much power left, huh?
[08:59] ---
    Then I’ll just suck up all of that power!
[09:11] ---
    Gaara’s Chakra is being sucked out!
[09:13] ---
    – Wha--?! – Gaara Sensei!
[09:15] ---
    – Damn it! – Wait! Naruto!
[09:17] ---
    What, Shikamaru? Don’t stop me!
[09:19] ---
    You’ll just get in the way if you go!
[09:22] ---
    Besides, our Gaara is strong!
[09:27] ---
    Gaara…
[09:37] ---
    Extreme Tempered Ultimate Attack:
[09:39] ---
    Shukaku's Pike!
[09:56] ---
    Wh-Why…? Why could you…?
[10:00] ---
    Someone who gave up on being human
    and was reborn as a Ninja tool
[10:04] ---
    could never understand anyway.
[10:08] ---
    I don’t understand. Why?
[10:11] ---
    Why?!
[10:18] ---
    Giant Sand Burial!
[10:32] ---
    He did it!
[10:33] ---
    Gaara Sensei won!
[10:35] ---
    Yeah! Gaara!
[10:44] ---
    – Gaara! – Gaara!
[10:50] ---
    He’s okay…
[10:52] ---
    He’s just extremely fatigued
[10:54] ---
    on account of using
    his Chakra all at once.
[10:56] ---
    Gaara completely suppressed
    the Shukaku on his own volition.
[11:00] ---
    Yeah…
[11:05] ---
    I want to work hard
[11:07] ---
    and become an existence acknowledged
    by other people…
[11:10] ---
    I thought that looking
    at Naruto Uzumaki.
[11:13] ---
    Ties with other people…
[11:15] ---
    For me, until now, that was just hate
    and murderous intent.
[11:20] ---
    However, there’s something
    I’ve understood just a little…
[11:26] ---
    about the ties he goes so far for
    and talks about.
[11:32] ---
    Suffering, sorrow and happiness
    can be shared with someone.
[11:43] ---
    You’ve also made someone
    you can share with at last…
[11:47] ---
    Did you say something?
[11:49] ---
    No, nothing…
[11:55] ---
    We came to the trouble
    of rushing here.
[11:57] ---
    To think it’d be over…
[12:00] ---
    It seems
    the inexperienced knuckleheads
[12:02] ---
    have grown a teeny weeny bit…
[12:07] ---
    You are very strict.
[12:37] ---
    Pervy Sage!
[12:39] ---
    Oh, long time no see, Naruto.
[12:42] ---
    Don’t give me that “long time no see”
    garbage, you jerk Sage!
[12:45] ---
    You were talking all big about
    watching my training,
[12:47] ---
    making me into your protégé
    and stuff!
[12:49] ---
    Where were you traipsing
    around until now?!
[12:52] ---
    Well, how can I put this?
    I was gathering information.
[12:56] ---
    It was probably just information
    on naked ladies anyway, right?
[13:00] ---
    You idiot!
[13:02] ---
    Even I come through when it counts…
[13:05] ---
    I was mainly after information
    on the Akatsuki.
[13:09] ---
    Akatsuki!
[13:10] ---
    With this I’ve been able
    to verify their actions.
[13:13] ---
    And now as promised,
[13:15] ---
    two years later when
    they’ll move into high gear,
[13:19] ---
    I will thoroughly train you.
[13:29] ---
    I wonder if you’re prepared?
[13:33] ---
    I’ve been tired of waiting!
[13:46] ---
    I owe you one.
[13:48] ---
    No. I just repaid the debt
    from last time.
[13:52] ---
    Next time, I’ll settle things
    more properly.
[13:55] ---
    Well, this time I’ll acknowledge
    that you didn’t cry.
[13:59] ---
    Not again.
[14:01] ---
    Just like a woman…
[14:02] ---
    What about him?
[14:04] ---
    Huh?
[14:05] ---
    Naruto?
[14:07] ---
    I hear he’s leaving today on
    a training journey with Jiraiya.
[14:10] ---
    Jiraiya? One of the Genius Sannin?
[14:13] ---
    Yeah. lt’s such a pain.
[14:16] ---
    He’s going to come back
    having gotten stronger again.
[14:20] ---
    See you around.
[14:22] ---
    – Farewell… – See ya.
[14:29] ---
    Please tell Naruto…
[14:32] ---
    Thanks to him,
[14:34] ---
    I figured out what the words
    Gaara Sensei spoke of meant.
[14:38] ---
    I’ll dedicate myself under
    Gaara Sensei from now on…
[14:50] ---
    What did he do?
[15:04] ---
    Well, I guess that’s about it.
[15:28] ---
    I read the Village of Artisans report
    from the other day.
[15:35] ---
    Although it didn’t go as far as
    a perfect 100,
[15:37] ---
    I’ll give you a passing grade.
[15:39] ---
    No! I’m still very much lacking
    in experience.
[15:40] ---
    Of course!
[15:42] ---
    I’ll have you carry out
    several missions
[15:45] ---
    and get you to build up
    lots of experience,
[15:47] ---
    so make sure to dedicate yourself!
[15:48] ---
    What?! Does that mean
    I’m totally going to get overworked?
[16:25] ---
    Umm, Sakura. Got a minute?
[16:29] ---
    Ino?
[16:30] ---
    Sure. What’s up?
[16:33] ---
    As, as it happens,
    I was thinking about it the while…
[16:38] ---
    But it became totally clear to me
    on this mission!
[16:41] ---
    Clear that I’d be no good at all
    at this rate!
[16:45] ---
    Ino.
[16:47] ---
    It’s frustrating,
    but I was envious of you.
[16:50] ---
    You, who everyone depended on.
[16:53] ---
    So, please.
    I also want to become a Medical Ninja.
[16:57] ---
    I know it’ll be hard.
[16:59] ---
    But I’ve got guts and I’ll manage
    the studying, no matter what.
[17:04] ---
    So could you ask Lady Tsunade for me?
[17:07] ---
    – Sure. – Really?!
[17:09] ---
    But prepare yourself.
[17:11] ---
    Once that happens,
    you’ll be my little sister protégé.
[17:15] ---
    What’s that…?
[17:16] ---
    Naturally!
[17:18] ---
    After all, I’ll be your
    Medical Ninja superior, you know.
[17:25] ---
    Man, I can’t wait.
[17:27] ---
    You’ll be my lovable little sister protégé.
[17:29] ---
    I’ll train you nice and hard.
[17:32] ---
    Just you watch!
    I’ll pass you up right away!
[17:35] ---
    Ha! Try it if you can! You Ino pig!
[17:38] ---
    I’ll do it! Billboard Brow!
[17:45] ---
    Why?! Why is it?!
[17:47] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[17:49] ---
    Why was I the only one left out
    of the mission the other day?!
[17:53] ---
    But you were with
    a different team then, right?
[17:57] ---
    But everyone had taken part!
[18:00] ---
    She’s kind of in a rage.
[18:02] ---
    It’s hard being the only one left out
    of a mission.
[18:06] ---
    Come to think of it,
[18:07] ---
    it seems Naruto finally leaves
    for training.
[18:10] ---
    I heard. It seems that Jiraiya
    is going to be his mentor.
[18:14] ---
    Damn it! That guy’s going
    to get strong again.
[18:19] ---
    It looks like the village will
    get quiet for a while.
[18:23] ---
    Viewed in that light,
    it’s a little bit sad, isn’t it?
[18:27] ---
    No! This isn’t the time
    to be getting sad!
[18:31] ---
    I must work hard!
[18:32] ---
    Several times more,
    several times more.
[18:35] ---
    If I don’t work hard hundreds
    of times more than Naruto,
[18:37] ---
    I won’t be able to face him
    the next time we meet.
[18:41] ---
    Your guard is off!
[18:48] ---
    We also must grow by that time.
[18:52] ---
    It’s because trying to improve
    by learning from others,
[18:56] ---
    that is what’s called friendship.
[18:59] ---
    Good grief,
    we’d better not lose, Akamaru.
[19:03] ---
    Same here!
[19:05] ---
    Hey, you okay, Lee?!
[19:06] ---
    I’m fine, I’m fine.
[19:22] ---
    Lady Hinata, let’s call it a day.
[19:24] ---
    What? I’m still…
[19:27] ---
    It’s about time for his departure.
[19:30] ---
    Oh!
[19:31] ---
    You won’t be able to
    see him for a while.
[19:36] ---
    I see… It looks like you’ll be
    on a long journey…
[19:40] ---
    Yeah!
[19:45] ---
    Listen up.
    Be sure to train and don’t goof off.
[19:48] ---
    Right! You can count on me!
[19:55] ---
    It’s about time to go, Naruto.
[19:57] ---
    Right!
[20:03] ---
    Okay! I’m off, Iruka Sensei!
[20:06] ---
    I’ll pay you back for the ramen
    once I’ve become a success.
[20:09] ---
    Jeez…
[20:19] ---
    Good luck, Naruto.
[20:35] ---
    Keep your eyes on me.
[20:43] ---
    What’re you doing?!
    I’ll leave you behind, Naruto.
[20:46] ---
    Hey. H-Hey, wait up!
[20:56] ---
    I also have to work hard in order
    to catch up with Naruto.
[21:18] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:48] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:14] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:18] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:48] ---
    It’s been two years since his departure.
[22:50] ---
    Now the count down to
    the battle begins.
[22:53] ---
    Those who pursue and those
    who are pursued.
[22:56] ---
    Time will not wait for the boy.
[22:58] ---
    As Akatsuki Organization begins
    to take action,
[23:01] ---
    the day of Orochimaru’s reincarnation
    draws near.
[23:04] ---
    In order to take back what he lost,
[23:07] ---
    the boy once again throws himself
    into the maelstrom of cruel fate…
[23:14] ---
    Next time: “Homecoming”
