**[00:10] ---**
C'mon!
**[00:17] ---**
Running like a fugitive,
**[00:20] ---**
Being chased by something
**[00:24] ---**
Inside my heart is pounding
**[00:28] ---**
My throat dry like it's withering
**[00:32] ---**
For no single one,
**[00:36] ---**
To none does belong,
**[00:41] ---**
This time is ours, right now...
**[00:48] ---**
Unraveling the pain,
**[00:50] ---**
Unraveling our hearts,
**[00:51] ---**
Unraveling shadows
**[00:55] ---**
Stifling our breath,
**[00:57] ---**
Reaching for beyond,
**[00:59] ---**
Tearing through the dark
**[01:03] ---**
In fighting and in love
**[01:11] ---**
To the distant light above,
**[01:14] ---**
Yes, we are on the way
**[01:22] ---**
I wanna rock...
**[01:26] ---**
Rockin' my heart
**[01:49] ---**
It seems I've overused
my Sharingan…
**[01:53] ---**
Are you alright, Sensei?
**[01:56] ---**
Not really… It will be hard just to
move for about a week…
**[02:00] ---**
Well…
**[02:01] ---**
It would be better if
you didn't move for a while.
**[02:04] ---**
O-Okay…
**[02:10] ---**
Hey! Sensei's awake.
**[02:13] ---**
Come on!
**[02:14] ---**
Your Sharingan is fantastic,
**[02:16] ---**
but if it puts that much of a strain
on your body, it may not be worth it!
**[02:20] ---**
S-Sorry…
**[02:21] ---**
But you know...
**[02:23] ---**
He did take down
a real powerful Ninja like that!
**[02:26] ---**
We probably don't need to
worry for a while.
**[02:28] ---**
Anyway, that kid with the mask...
What was he?
**[02:33] ---**
He was an ANBU black ops
from the Hidden Mist village.
**[02:36] ---**
It's a mask that the elite
Ninja Tracking Unit wears.
**[02:39] ---**
The elite Ninja Tracking Unit?
**[02:41] ---**
They're commonly called the
"fire extinguishing corps,"
**[02:44] ---**
and their duty is to erase all traces
that a Ninja ever lived.
**[02:49] ---**
The body of the Ninja reveals
a variety of things…
**[02:51] ---**
Ninjutsu secrets and Chakra characteristics
which permeate the Ninja of their village…
**[02:55] ---**
the composition of secret medicines
used on a Ninja's body…
**[03:02] ---**
For instance, if I were to die,
**[03:05] ---**
every secret about my Sharingan
would be investigated thoroughly,
**[03:09] ---**
and in the worst case,
**[03:10] ---**
there's a danger that
my entire Jutsu could be stolen.
**[03:14] ---**
In other words,
Tracker Ninja are specialists
**[03:16] ---**
that prevent village secrets
from leaking out
**[03:19] ---**
by killing Rogue Ninja
who've run away from their village,
**[03:22] ---**
and completely eliminating
their bodies.
**[03:29] ---**
First, I'll cut the mouth cloth
and have him spit up blood…
**[03:35] ---**
It's alright.
**[03:37] ---**
I'll do it…myself…
**[03:40] ---**
What?
You've already come back to life…
**[03:47] ---**
Darn, you really are rough…
**[03:53] ---**
You too, Zabuza.
**[03:54] ---**
Please don't pull them out
so violently or you really will die.
**[04:03] ---**
How long do you plan on keeping
that shady-looking mask on?!
**[04:06] ---**
Take it off!
**[04:08] ---**
It's a relic from the past,
and it's been handy for trickery…
**[04:17] ---**
But if I hadn't rescued you,
you certainly would have been killed.
**[04:22] ---**
If you were going to put me
into a state of apparent death,
**[04:24] ---**
you didn't need to aim for
the secret opening on my neck.
**[04:28] ---**
You're really a nasty one.
**[04:32] ---**
It couldn't be helped…
**[04:34] ---**
Besides, I didn't want to mark up
your immaculate body.
**[04:39] ---**
And also, I can aim more accurately
on the point on the neck
**[04:43] ---**
where there's not much muscle.
**[04:48] ---**
You'll be numb for about a week
and won't be able to move.
**[04:51] ---**
But since you're Zabuza,
perhaps you'll soon be able to move...
**[04:59] ---**
You're so innocent, smart,
and untainted…
**[05:04] ---**
That's what I like about you.
**[05:08] ---**
I am, after all, still a child.
**[05:13] ---**
The fog has lifted.
**[05:15] ---**
Yes.
**[05:18] ---**
Will you be alright the next time?
**[05:21] ---**
The next time…
**[05:23] ---**
I'll be able to see right
through the Sharingan.
**[05:26] ---**
The Forest of Chakra
**[05:34] ---**
What is this?
**[05:35] ---**
Even though Zabuza is dead…
**[05:37] ---**
this indescribable uneasiness…
**[05:40] ---**
it must mean something
very important…
**[05:43] ---**
I have a feeling
I've overlooked something.
**[05:47] ---**
What's going on?! Sensei?
**[05:49] ---**
What?
**[05:50] ---**
Oh…so to continue my earlier story…
**[05:54] ---**
Ninja trackers…
**[05:55] ---**
take care of the bodies of people they've
killed, immediately and on the spot.
**[05:59] ---**
So what about that?
**[06:02] ---**
What did that kid with
the mask do with Zabuza?
**[06:08] ---**
How should we know?!
**[06:10] ---**
That masked one
took Zabuza away!
**[06:14] ---**
That's right…
**[06:16] ---**
If he needed proof he'd killed Zabuza,
he could simply have taken the head…
**[06:21] ---**
And the question is...
**[06:22] ---**
the weapon the Ninja tracker kid
used to kill Zabuza…
**[06:28] ---**
A regular Senbon…
**[06:30] ---**
That's impossible…
**[06:32] ---**
Right…it's impossible?!
**[06:36] ---**
What have you guys
been clamoring on and on about?!
**[06:40] ---**
It's probably that…
Zabuza is alive!
**[06:45] ---**
What?
**[06:47] ---**
What the heck do you mean?!
**[06:49] ---**
But Kakashi Sensei,
you made sure that he was dead!
**[06:53] ---**
It's true, I did make sure…
**[06:55] ---**
But, he was probably just in
a state of near-death.
**[07:04] ---**
The Senbon that Tracker Ninja used has
a very low ability to kill
**[07:09] ---**
unless it hits a vital spot…
**[07:12] ---**
It's something that was originally used
for medical treatments
**[07:15] ---**
such as acupuncture therapy.
**[07:17] ---**
Ninja trackers know all about
the structure of the human body…
**[07:22] ---**
putting people into a state of apparent
near-death is probably simple for them.
**[07:27] ---**
First, he went to the trouble of
taking Zabuza's corpse
**[07:30] ---**
which was probably heavier
than he is.
**[07:33] ---**
Second, he used a Senbon,
a weapon with a low ability to kill.
**[07:39] ---**
From these two factors,
**[07:41] ---**
that youth wasn't aiming to
kill Zabuza but to save him.
**[07:47] ---**
Aren't you reading
way too much into it?
**[07:49] ---**
No…
**[07:51] ---**
If something seems fishy,
make preparations before it's too late.
**[07:55] ---**
That's also an iron clad rule
of the Shinobi!
**[08:03] ---**
Humph… To hear that Zabuza
may be alive and to be pleased…
**[08:09] ---**
Sensei, what do we do to make preparations
before it's too late?
**[08:12] ---**
You won't even be able
to move for a while…
**[08:18] ---**
I'll assign you training!
**[08:20] ---**
W-Wait a minute! Even with training,
we're not gonna be that strong!
**[08:25] ---**
Our opponent is a Ninja whom even you,
with the Sharingan, had a tough fight with!
**[08:30] ---**
Are you trying to kill us?!
**[08:34] ---**
Sakura…
**[08:35] ---**
Who was it that saved me
during my difficult battle?
**[08:39] ---**
You've all quickly grown…
especially Naruto!
**[08:44] ---**
You've grown the most!
**[08:50] ---**
He clearly does seem somewhat
stronger than before, but…
**[08:55] ---**
So you noticed, Kakashi Sensei!
Now it's getting interesting!
**[09:00] ---**
It's not interesting at all…
**[09:08] ---**
Who the heck are you?
**[09:09] ---**
Hey, Inari!
Where've you been?!
**[09:12] ---**
Welcome back…Grandpa…
**[09:14] ---**
Inari, what sort of greeting is that?!
**[09:16] ---**
These are the Ninja
who escorted your grandpa!
**[09:20] ---**
It's okay, it's okay.
Right, Inari?
**[09:29] ---**
Mom, these guys will die…
**[09:31] ---**
There's no way they can
oppose Gato and win.
**[09:34] ---**
Say what, you little brat!
**[09:37] ---**
Now listen up!
**[09:39] ---**
I'm a super hero who's gonna become
an awesome Ninja
**[09:41] ---**
named Hokage in the future!
**[09:43] ---**
I don't know if it's Gato or
Chocolat or whatever...
**[09:45] ---**
I'm not worried
about those guys, at all!
**[09:48] ---**
Huh, a hero. That's ridiculous!
There's no such thing!
**[09:53] ---**
W-What did you say?!
**[09:56] ---**
Stop that!
**[09:57] ---**
If you don't want to die,
you'd better hurry up and go home…
**[10:04] ---**
Inari, where're you going?
**[10:08] ---**
The sea…
I'll be looking at the sea…
**[10:15] ---**
I apologize.
**[10:19] ---**
Shucks!
**[10:21] ---**
That brat… I need to tell him
a thing or two!
**[10:30] ---**
Huh?
**[10:33] ---**
Is he crying?!
**[10:47] ---**
D-Dad...
**[11:01] ---**
So, now the training begins!
**[11:03] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:05] ---**
So…before that, let me again explain
Chakra power for a Ninja, from the basics.
**[11:12] ---**
At this point…
**[11:13] ---**
Of course we know about that!
Chatora, right?
**[11:18] ---**
It's Chakra…
**[11:20] ---**
Yes, Sakura...?
**[11:21] ---**
Are you listening, Naruto?!
**[11:23] ---**
It's tiresome, so I'll explain it simply!
**[11:28] ---**
Chakra is energy that
a Ninja needs when he uses a Jutsu!
**[11:34] ---**
It's made up of two energies:
**[11:35] ---**
1) Physical energy gathered together
from each and every cell in the body and
**[11:40] ---**
2) Spiritual energy accumulated based
on numerous trainings and experiences!
**[11:47] ---**
In other words, Jutsu wrings out and
combines these two energies
**[11:52] ---**
from within the body,
**[11:53] ---**
and this is called
"combining the Chakra."
**[11:57] ---**
Then Chakra is activated
by forming hand "signs."
**[12:03] ---**
That's exactly right!
**[12:04] ---**
Iruka Sensei really does
have good students.
**[12:09] ---**
Whatever! I may not understand
difficult explanations,
**[12:13] ---**
but I'll just learn it with my body!
**[12:16] ---**
Naruto is absolutely right…
**[12:18] ---**
We're already able to use Jutsu…
**[12:20] ---**
No! All of you still haven't used
Chakra efficiently.
**[12:25] ---**
What?!
**[12:27] ---**
Hold on and listen…
**[12:29] ---**
As Sakura explained earlier,
**[12:30] ---**
combining Chakra means picking up
both the physical and spiritual energies
**[12:35] ---**
and mixing them together
within the body.
**[12:39] ---**
And of course the amount of each energy,
the preparation of the energy,
**[12:44] ---**
changes based on
the Jutsu you want to activate…
**[12:47] ---**
All of you at present aren't
using Chakra efficiently!
**[12:52] ---**
Even if you're able to combine
a lot of Chakra,
**[12:55] ---**
if you're not able to control it
in a balanced way
**[12:58] ---**
the effectiveness of the Jutsu
not only will be cut in half
**[13:02] ---**
but it may not even
be activated at all.
**[13:04] ---**
Wasting energy will prevent you from
battling for long periods.
**[13:08] ---**
These are some of
the weaknesses that can occur.
**[13:11] ---**
W-What should we do…?
**[13:15] ---**
You need to learn to control
the Chakra with your body!
**[13:18] ---**
It's difficult training that requires you
to put your life on the line to master!
**[13:24] ---**
W-What will we do?
**[13:27] ---**
Hm?
**[13:29] ---**
Tree-climbing…
**[13:30] ---**
Tree-climbing?!
**[13:32] ---**
That's right.
**[13:33] ---**
But it's not just simple tree-climbing!
**[13:35] ---**
You will climb
without using your hands.
**[13:38] ---**
What? How?
**[13:41] ---**
Well! Just watch.
**[13:59] ---**
He's climbing…
**[14:01] ---**
Perpendicular to the tree
and with his feet!
**[14:07] ---**
So see, kind of like this…
**[14:10] ---**
Focus the Chakra on the bottoms of your feet
and make them stick to the tree trunk.
**[14:14] ---**
If you use Chakra well,
you can do things like this.
**[14:17] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[14:19] ---**
How does something like that
make you strong?
**[14:21] ---**
So this is the main point…
**[14:24] ---**
The aim of this training is
to accumulate
**[14:26] ---**
the required amount of combined Chakra
to the required spot…
**[14:31] ---**
This is surprisingly difficult
even for an expert Ninja.
**[14:35] ---**
The amount of Chakra used
for tree-climbing is very subtle.
**[14:39] ---**
And the bottoms of the feet are
the most difficult place to gather Chakra.
**[14:45] ---**
Anyway! In other words,
if you master that control
**[14:48] ---**
it will be possible to master
any Jutsu. In theory, that is!
**[14:55] ---**
The second aim is to maintain
that combined Chakra.
**[14:59] ---**
Ninja combine the most Chakra
during battles.
**[15:03] ---**
Under such situations,
**[15:04] ---**
"control" and "maintenance"
of Chakra becomes most difficult.
**[15:09] ---**
So anyway, nothing's really gonna
happen with me saying this and that…
**[15:14] ---**
You'll need to learn it with your bodies
**[15:21] ---**
Use that Kunai to put a mark
at the spot
**[15:23] ---**
where you can climb up to
under your own strength now.
**[15:28] ---**
Next make an effort to
put a mark further from it.
**[15:33] ---**
You aren't good enough to
walk up from the start,
**[15:37] ---**
so run and use your momentum
to get used to it… You got it?!
**[15:44] ---**
This training is nothing!
Hah, it's too easy for me!
**[15:49] ---**
After all, I'm the man
who's grown the most!
**[15:52] ---**
Enough with the talk…
Now get to it. Try climbing any tree.
**[15:58] ---**
OK, so first I need to gather
the Chakra on the bottoms of my feet…
**[16:10] ---**
Ready!! Here I go!
**[16:30] ---**
I didn't think it'd be this difficult to
maintain a constant amount of Chakra…
**[16:34] ---**
If the Chakra is too strong
you get pushed back…
**[16:38] ---**
But if the Chakra is too weak,
there's no sticking power and that happens.
**[16:45] ---**
Well…!
**[16:46] ---**
The difference between Naruto and Sasuke
seems about right.
**[16:49] ---**
This is pretty easy!
**[16:51] ---**
What?!
**[16:53] ---**
S-Sakura!
**[16:59] ---**
So, it looks like the one with the best control
of the Chakra is Sakura, the girl…
**[17:09] ---**
Wow! Way to go, Sakura!
**[17:11] ---**
Just what you'd expect from
the girl I set my sights on!
**[17:13] ---**
But it does sort of tick me off!
**[17:16] ---**
Whatever!
**[17:17] ---**
I wanted Sasuke to notice me…
**[17:20] ---**
Why does this always happen?!
**[17:22] ---**
Well, not only does Sakura have
knowledge about Chakra,
**[17:25] ---**
her control and stamina
are pretty good.
**[17:29] ---**
It looks like…
**[17:30] ---**
She might be the closest one to
becoming a Hokage…unlike someone else.
**[17:36] ---**
And also, the Uchiha Clan
isn't really that great…
**[17:40] ---**
Shut up Sensei!
**[17:43] ---**
Sasuke won't like me then!
**[17:49] ---**
Having said that… Naruto and Sasuke…
**[17:52] ---**
Those two have an incredible amount
of Chakra hidden in them…
**[17:55] ---**
that Sakura can't even match!
**[17:57] ---**
If this training goes well,
this will become an asset to them…
**[18:02] ---**
OK! First I'll catch up to Sasuke!
**[18:05] ---**
I'll do it... for sure!
**[18:12] ---**
Whatever!
**[18:14] ---**
Even if they do that,
it's just a waste…
**[18:39] ---**
Unbelievable…
**[18:40] ---**
Even you got beaten and
had to come back?
**[18:42] ---**
The Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village
look like total weaklings!
**[18:45] ---**
You can't even clean up after
your subordinates,
**[18:48] ---**
and you think you're a "demon"!
Don't make me laugh!
**[18:57] ---**
So they're drawing swords…
**[19:01] ---**
Hold on. Wait.
**[19:03] ---**
Hey… There's no need to stay silent!
**[19:07] ---**
Why don't you say something?
**[19:13] ---**
Don't touch Zabuza
with your dirty hands!
**[19:17] ---**
I-It's gonna break…!
**[19:23] ---**
N-No way…
**[19:26] ---**
He moved…in an instant…
**[19:28] ---**
I wouldn't do that…
I'm ticked off!!
**[19:36] ---**
Next time…
**[19:36] ---**
If you lose again next time…
**[19:39] ---**
remember that there'll be
no place for you here!
**[19:43] ---**
I'm leaving!
**[19:49] ---**
Haku… Such unnecessary actions…
**[19:52] ---**
I know…
**[19:54] ---**
But it's too early to take down
Gato right now…
**[19:59] ---**
If we make trouble here...
**[20:03] ---**
We'll be pursued by them again.
**[20:07] ---**
We must restrain ourselves for now.
**[20:11] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:12] ---**
You're right.
**[20:19] ---**
Ohhhhh…
**[20:23] ---**
Ou–ch!!
**[20:33] ---**
I'm totally worn out!
**[20:35] ---**
How much stamina
can those two have?
**[20:44] ---**
But Naruto isn't getting
any better at all.
**[20:48] ---**
He'll soon give up and
start throwing a tantrum.
**[20:53] ---**
Shoot!
**[20:54] ---**
See! He sure is
an easy one to figure out!
**[20:59] ---**
Hey, Sakura!
**[21:01] ---**
Can you give me some tips?
**[21:03] ---**
What?
**[21:04] ---**
Let's keep it a secret from Sasuke!
Come on, come on.
**[21:09] ---**
He's getting stronger and stronger…
How strong will he get…?
**[21:15] ---**
At any rate Naruto…
**[21:17] ---**
the amount of your dormant Chakra
is probably more than Sasuke's.
**[21:23] ---**
And it's even more than mine!
**[21:27] ---**
I look forward to it… I really do.
**[23:09] ---**
That Inari...
He was crying all by himself.
**[23:13] ---**
He was looking at the sea
and crying the entire time.
**[23:16] ---**
He's always crying all alone.
**[23:20] ---**
What's that gonna do?
**[23:22] ---**
What happened
that made him so sad?!
**[23:26] ---**
