**[00:15] ---**
Connecting old words
that have been used up
**[00:21] ---**
I just want to convey
my simple thoughts
**[00:29] ---**
That day's faint wind blows away
**[00:35] ---**
at the castle ruins of yesterday
**[00:40] ---**
I'll laugh with you
and live for the moment
**[00:46] ---**
Still that incident
will continue to trouble you, right?
**[00:54] ---**
That's why it must be good-bye
**[00:57] ---**
Leaving nothing behind,
let us share what is left
**[01:05] ---**
In time, we'll realize
that it was everything
**[01:12] ---**
And sadness will touch our cheeks,
creating a river of tears
**[01:19] ---**
Trembling thoughts swept into a vortex
and melting away
**[01:55] ---**
But thank goodness
your injury wasn’t serious.
**[02:01] ---**
Naruto was relieved, too…
**[02:18] ---**
The rumors were true…
**[02:20] ---**
That the survivor of the Village’s
honorable Uchiha Clan
**[02:24] ---**
was the most good-for-nothing kid…
**[02:34] ---**
Sasuke, you must be hungry.
ls there something you want to eat?
**[02:39] ---**
I’ll go buy something for you.
**[02:48] ---**
The Battle Begins:
Naruto vs. Sasuke
**[02:54] ---**
To be honest,
I really don’t understand.
**[02:58] ---**
It seems there were opinions that,
**[03:01] ---**
with the final exam being suspended,
**[03:03] ---**
no one should pass
this time around.
**[03:08] ---**
But I hear the late Third Hokage
highly praised your match.
**[03:14] ---**
It seems he intended to recommend you
for Chunin.
**[03:18] ---**
The lords of other lands
who observed the fight
**[03:20] ---**
and the proctors were of
the same opinion as well…
**[03:23] ---**
In that case, it’s not in my place
to say this or that about it.
**[03:27] ---**
From now on,
**[03:28] ---**
strive to perform in a manner
that is worthy of that headband…
**[03:32] ---**
Congratulations!
As of today, you’re a Chunin!
**[03:38] ---**
– Wow… – Wow!
**[03:40] ---**
Even you who’s never motivated
look respectable.
**[03:46] ---**
It doesn’t suit you.
**[03:48] ---**
Don’t laugh, I say…
**[03:50] ---**
For the time being,
**[03:51] ---**
let’s have a toast to celebrate
Shikamaru’s promotion to Chunin!
**[03:56] ---**
Let’s eat!
**[03:58] ---**
Oh! Choji!
**[03:59] ---**
Don’t eat the meat before the toast!
**[04:02] ---**
But, it’d be a waste if it got burned, so…
**[04:06] ---**
There’s a lot of meat. Eat up!
**[04:08] ---**
All right!
**[04:58] ---**
Right now,
I have no interest in you…
**[05:03] ---**
Your target is Naruto, after all.
**[05:18] ---**
You’ll end up in the hospital again, Choji.
**[05:21] ---**
Don’t you know how to savor the taste?
**[05:24] ---**
Never mind!
**[05:25] ---**
Even if I eat a lot,
I know how to savor properly.
**[05:34] ---**
Hey! Choji, that’s the last piece of meat
that I’ve been grilling!
**[05:37] ---**
The last bite!
**[05:39] ---**
This is the conclusion and
**[05:41] ---**
will become the meat with
the greatest value that should be savored!
**[05:45] ---**
I won’t hand over
this last bite to anyone!
**[05:51] ---**
What’re you acting cool for,
you idiot?!
**[05:54] ---**
Everyone makes fun of you
because you’re like this!
**[05:58] ---**
– You’re just a fa--
– Ino!
**[06:00] ---**
That’s a taboo word!
**[06:02] ---**
But really, Choji…
**[06:04] ---**
A meal isn’t a battle.
**[06:06] ---**
Relax at a time like this at least.
What a pain.
**[06:14] ---**
Vulgar... Dirty-mouthed…
Too lazy…
**[06:19] ---**
I wonder if these guys
will be okay from here.
**[06:22] ---**
In particular…
**[06:24] ---**
Choji. With you it’s nothing but food.
**[06:27] ---**
Do a little training sometime!
**[06:46] ---**
Choji…
**[06:48] ---**
You’re lucky that your mind
doesn’t restrict what you eat…
**[06:53] ---**
I’ve got it rough with a diet.
**[06:55] ---**
Why do you have to diet, Ino?
**[06:58] ---**
Girls want to be seen as cute as possible
by the one they like!
**[07:06] ---**
But that person might not always
like a thin person.
**[07:10] ---**
In the first place,
most boys don’t like fa--
**[07:13] ---**
Not that… They like thin girls.
**[07:16] ---**
And, vice-versa.
**[07:24] ---**
You should be a little more conscious
of your body, Choji.
**[07:27] ---**
You won’t be popular.
**[07:32] ---**
Heh… She doesn’t get it.
**[07:35] ---**
Men don’t like thin women
as much as women think.
**[07:40] ---**
More likely men who like chubby women
are the most common.
**[07:46] ---**
And, vice-versa…I’d say.
**[07:50] ---**
I bet she’d be twice as popular
**[07:52] ---**
if she were to gain a little more weight
instead of dieting.
**[08:00] ---**
You sure are a funny guy, Shikamaru.
**[08:03] ---**
And you’re smart, too.
**[08:04] ---**
Hmm?
**[08:05] ---**
I know it in my heart…
**[08:07] ---**
You’re much more awesome
than the likes of Sasuke or Neji.
**[08:15] ---**
Well, I’ve never even thought about that.
I’m me, so…
**[08:21] ---**
But you’re the only one
who became a Chunin
**[08:24] ---**
in the Chunin Exam this time…
**[08:27] ---**
But you might be better
at fighting, right?
**[08:31] ---**
I might’ve given up if
I’d gotten into one with you.
**[08:35] ---**
But earlier,
Sensei told me that all I do is eat
**[08:38] ---**
and that I’m not progressing…
**[08:40] ---**
I’m me, I tell you. And you’re you.
**[08:44] ---**
It’s stupid talking about how which is.
**[08:50] ---**
Well, don’t worry too much
about what Asuma says…
**[08:54] ---**
You should live naturally
and take things easy.
**[08:59] ---**
See you later! I’m going home.
**[09:01] ---**
My dad’s starting to say
some troublesome thing
**[09:04] ---**
like he’s going to teach me
a new Jutsu or something.
**[09:07] ---**
Shikamaru.
**[09:09] ---**
Hmm?
**[09:14] ---**
What?
**[09:16] ---**
Good luck with your training.
**[09:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:24] ---**
You’re a good guy…Choji.
**[09:45] ---**
Hey, Sakura!
**[09:51] ---**
Naruto!
**[09:58] ---**
The time is right…
**[10:02] ---**
Head for the Leaf Village, now!
**[10:14] ---**
I see… You’ve made up your mind, huh?
**[10:17] ---**
Yes!
**[10:18] ---**
I’m carrying out fitness training
to get ready for the surgery.
**[10:21] ---**
I want to return as soon as
I can after the surgery, so…
**[10:27] ---**
Oww!
**[10:28] ---**
Ow-ow…
**[10:36] ---**
Lee…
**[10:37] ---**
Yes?! What is it?
**[10:40] ---**
You won’t die
if you give up being a Shinobi.
**[10:48] ---**
Why are you so fixated
on being a Shinobi?
**[10:55] ---**
My everything is proving that
even I can become a fine Ninja…
**[11:04] ---**
You might die. Even if you succeed…
**[11:09] ---**
Even so…
**[11:11] ---**
I promise you!
**[11:13] ---**
That’s my dream, so…
**[11:19] ---**
Why…do you snap this much
at the mention of Hokage’s name?
**[11:23] ---**
Unlike you…
**[11:26] ---**
I will be the heir to the name
of Hokage, no matter what!
**[11:30] ---**
Because, Hokage is my dream!
**[11:35] ---**
In this village, promising children
are being brought up.
**[11:42] ---**
Sarutobi Sensei… Sure enough,
you were a wonderful Hokage.
**[11:49] ---**
The surgery is in the afternoon.
Get ready!
**[11:53] ---**
Let’s go, Lee! Are you prepared?!
**[11:55] ---**
Yes!
**[12:03] ---**
I got some apples…
You like them, right?
**[12:07] ---**
Here, doesn’t it look good?
**[12:12] ---**
Huh…? I wonder where I put the knife…
**[12:15] ---**
It’s right in front of you, believe it.
**[12:18] ---**
It’s so lame, you getting all scatterbrained
just because you’re in front of Sasuke.
**[12:22] ---**
I’d rather hear lame
from anyone but you…
**[12:24] ---**
Naruto…
**[12:25] ---**
U-zu-ma-ki!
**[12:28] ---**
Naruto 2K Barrage!
**[12:34] ---**
Knock it off already!
**[12:37] ---**
Summoning Jutsu!
**[12:39] ---**
I will…protect Sakura!
**[12:44] ---**
I-I give up, believe it…
**[12:47] ---**
Sasuke… Thank you.
**[12:50] ---**
You rescued me from
the Sand Ninja, right?
**[12:53] ---**
No...
**[12:55] ---**
The person who rescued you…
was Naruto.
**[13:17] ---**
You are weak.
**[13:24] ---**
Why are you weak…?
**[13:26] ---**
It’s because you don’t have enough…
**[13:29] ---**
...hate.
**[13:32] ---**
Good. I peeled it nicely.
**[13:34] ---**
I’ll cut it to make it easy to eat, and…
**[13:38] ---**
Here, Sasuke.
**[13:43] ---**
Ow! What happened?
**[13:45] ---**
S-Sasuke?
**[13:46] ---**
Huh? What’s going on?
**[13:54] ---**
Wh-What?
**[13:56] ---**
Y-You don’t have to glare
at me like that.
**[14:03] ---**
Hey, Naruto…
**[14:05] ---**
Wh-What is it?
**[14:06] ---**
Fight me… Right now!
**[14:10] ---**
What?! Here you are,
just treated by Old Lady Tsunade.
**[14:15] ---**
What’re you saying?
**[14:16] ---**
Just fight!
**[14:21] ---**
Sasuke…
**[14:22] ---**
You think you saved me?
**[14:25] ---**
I don’t care if she’s the Fifth Hokage
or whatever, but…
**[14:27] ---**
she should’ve just minded
her own business!
**[14:29] ---**
What?!
**[14:33] ---**
You said you wanted to fight me, right?
**[14:35] ---**
I’m saying let’s do it now!
**[14:38] ---**
Or have you chickened out?
**[14:42] ---**
S-Sasuke. Hey…
What’s going on?!
**[14:46] ---**
Naruto, you say something too!
**[14:49] ---**
What’s this all of a sudden?
**[14:53] ---**
This is perfect, believe it!
**[14:55] ---**
I was just thinking
I wanted to fight you!
**[14:58] ---**
S-Stop it, the both of you… Okay?
**[15:04] ---**
Come with me!
**[15:55] ---**
What’s…this feeling?
My lower belly feels tight…
**[16:00] ---**
I want to fight you, too.
**[16:04] ---**
And… I feel a thrill.
**[16:12] ---**
What’s so funny?
**[16:13] ---**
Nothing’s funny, believe it!
I’m happy!
**[16:17] ---**
When I think
I can finally beat you here!
**[16:23] ---**
Abducting Naruto is the No.1 priority
of our organization, Akatsuki.
**[16:32] ---**
What did you say?
Don’t talk foolish, you failure!
**[16:35] ---**
I’m not going to be
a failure forever!
**[16:42] ---**
Right now,
I have no interest in you…
**[16:49] ---**
You… A loser like you better
not act all high and mighty!
**[16:54] ---**
Hah! It’s unlike you to lose
your cool and raise a fuss.
**[16:58] ---**
So uncharacteristic.
**[16:59] ---**
It couldn’t be that you picked a fight
and then got scared, could it, Sasuke?
**[17:04] ---**
Just bring it, now!
**[17:06] ---**
Put on your headband before that!
I’ll wait.
**[17:09] ---**
I don’t need such a thing…
**[17:11] ---**
Just do it!
**[17:15] ---**
You wouldn’t even be able…
to put one knick on my forehead!
**[17:21] ---**
You’re wrong!
**[17:22] ---**
I’m saying this is a testament to fighting
on equal terms as a Leaf Shinobi!
**[17:29] ---**
And I’m saying stuff like that
is acting high and mighty!
**[17:32] ---**
Do you think that we’re equal?!
**[17:34] ---**
Yeah, I do! I’ve never once
thought that I’m inferior to you!
**[17:40] ---**
You’re an eyesore!
**[17:42] ---**
That’s because you remain weak!
Little Sasuke!
**[17:47] ---**
Naruto!
**[17:49] ---**
Sasuke!
**[18:38] ---**
Don’t be getting carried away!
**[18:55] ---**
Naruto…
**[19:01] ---**
Enough already, believe it!
**[19:23] ---**
Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[19:59] ---**
U-zu-ma-ki!
**[20:11] ---**
Naruto Barrage!
**[20:18] ---**
The Tiger Seal!
**[20:20] ---**
Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!
**[20:33] ---**
N-Naruto!
**[20:47] ---**
Wh-What is that Jutsu?!
**[20:54] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:58] ---**
Chidori: One Thousand Birds!
**[21:02] ---**
S-Stop…
**[21:04] ---**
I’ll win no matter what!
**[21:05] ---**
Don’t flatter yourself!
**[21:08] ---**
Stop it, both of you…
**[21:14] ---**
Stop it!
**[21:30] ---**
Once in a long while, once in a while
**[21:37] ---**
The remnants of a person
broken by dreams
**[21:43] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[21:51] ---**
Clinging to the Divine,
clinging to Buddha
**[21:58] ---**
The remnants of a person crying
**[22:04] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[22:10] ---**
Rendezvous with a happy dance circle
**[22:13] ---**
This is my victory pose, round and around
(round around)
**[22:17] ---**
Shake shake shake
Let’s look
**[22:20] ---**
With a bye-bye rhythm that never ends
**[22:33] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[22:40] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[22:44] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[22:47] ---**
Look like a mountain
**[22:55] ---**
After becoming a Three-Man Squad,
though we had fights,
**[22:59] ---**
we carried out our missions together.
**[23:01] ---**
And yet, both Sasuke and Naruto
have steadily gone on ahead
**[23:05] ---**
and only I've been left behind.
**[23:08] ---**
Say, Sasuke, I feel you at a distance
even though you're this close.
**[23:14] ---**
No matter what,
I can't see you, Sasuke.
**[23:18] ---**
