[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
[00:58] ---
    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
[01:51] ---
    Don’t forget your objective…
[01:55] ---
    Don’t go!
[01:59] ---
    Thank you…
[02:04] ---
    Sasuke…
[02:12] ---
    Formation!
     The Sasuke Retrieval Squad!
[02:21] ---
    It’s already four o’clock
    in the morning…
[02:24] ---
    That Fifth Hokage is
    a real slave driver.
[02:26] ---
    She ought to retrieve
    the documents she forgot herself…
[02:33] ---
    Huh… What’s the matter?
[02:39] ---
    Hey! Wake up!
[02:40] ---
    You’ll catch cold if you sleep
    in a place like this.
[02:47] ---
    Thank you…
[02:50] ---
    Huh!
[02:51] ---
    Sasuke!
[03:19] ---
    Good work…
[03:24] ---
    Fifth Hokage! You were asleep
    just now, weren’t you?
[03:26] ---
    When you made us
    go to fetch the documents!
[03:29] ---
    And only you got to sleep!
[03:33] ---
    More importantly, Lady Hokage,
[03:34] ---
    there’s something
    I want to report to you.
[03:37] ---
    What is it?
[03:41] ---
    What did you just say?!
[03:43] ---
    Is that true?!
[03:44] ---
    Yes…
[03:45] ---
    According to Sakura Haruno,
    it appears that there’s no mistake…
[03:53] ---
    Unbelievable…
    That they should already be on the move…
[03:57] ---
    In addition to getting what I want…
[04:00] ---
    This time, I will completely
    destroy Leaf Village.
[04:08] ---
    So what that pervert wants...
[04:12] ---
    is the Uchiha’s powers, huh…
[04:17] ---
    Izumo! Kotetsu!
[04:19] ---
    There’s somebody
    I want you to bring here!
[04:24] ---
    Hurry up and eat, Shikamaru!
    Your Dad’s mission starts today, too!
[04:29] ---
    There’s not that much time
    for morning training!
[04:32] ---
    OK, OK.
[04:33] ---
    One OK is enough!
[04:36] ---
    Nag, nag, nag from early
    in the morning…
[04:41] ---
    I wonder who it could be
    so early in the morning?
[04:46] ---
    Hey…Dad…
[04:48] ---
    What is it?
[04:49] ---
    Why did you marry
    a hard-edged woman like Mom?
[04:54] ---
    Let’s see now…
[04:56] ---
    Even though Mom's like that,
    she smiles gently sometimes…
[05:00] ---
    Maybe that’s why…
[05:06] ---
    Is that the only reason?
[05:09] ---
    Shikamaru!
[05:11] ---
    A messenger of the Fifth Hokage
    is here.
[05:19] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha apparently slipped out
    of the village late last night.
[05:24] ---
    And…there is almost no mistake
[05:25] ---
    that he is headed for
    the Village Hidden in the Sound!
[05:28] ---
    Slipped out?! Why…
[05:32] ---
    Because he was enticed by
    that Orochimaru!
[05:36] ---
    W-W-Wait a minute!
[05:39] ---
    Why does Sasuke have to be enticed
    by a risky guy like that?!
[05:44] ---
    The reason doesn’t matter.
    ln any case, there’s no time.
[05:49] ---
    You will perform your first mission
    as a Chunin…
[05:54] ---
    So all I have to do
    is bring Sasuke back?
[05:57] ---
    As long as there aren’t
    any enemies around,
[05:59] ---
    that shouldn’t be
    too much of a hassle…
[06:02] ---
    Yes… However, not only is time
    of the essence on this mission,
[06:07] ---
    but it may turn into something
    quite difficult.
[06:10] ---
    Huh?!
[06:11] ---
    There is a strong possibility that
[06:14] ---
    those under the control of Orochimaru
    are guiding Sasuke.
[06:18] ---
    This is turning into a real pain
    in the neck.
[06:21] ---
    That guy… I held him in high respect
    in so many different ways…
[06:30] ---
    In that case, please give me
    a four-man team
[06:34] ---
    composed only of Jonin and Chunin.
[06:38] ---
    I’m afraid I can’t do that…
[06:40] ---
    Huh! Why?!
[06:42] ---
    You already know
    the answer to that…
[06:45] ---
    Right now, only the barest minimum
    number of Jonin have been left behind
[06:50] ---
    and the others have all
    left the village on missions.
[06:56] ---
    Within the next 30 minutes,
[06:58] ---
    I want you to gather all the Genin you
    consider the best, and leave this village!
[07:12] ---
    It’s a drag but…
[07:14] ---
    I know the guy,
    so I just can’t just let the matter go.
[07:18] ---
    What shall be, shall be…
[07:24] ---
    There’s one guy
    I want to recommend.
[07:29] ---
    What! You’ve gotta be kidding!
[07:34] ---
    You are such a drag starting
    so early in the morning…
[07:37] ---
    But why this guy?
[07:43] ---
    That jerk!
[07:47] ---
    Hey, just wait here!
[07:48] ---
    I’ll change my clothes immediately!
[07:54] ---
    So, do you have your eye…
[07:55] ---
    on any other guys besides me
    who are excellent?
[07:59] ---
    Yeah…
[08:01] ---
    Wake up! Hey!
[08:03] ---
    You said excellent guys, right…
[08:07] ---
    Can’t be helped…
[08:12] ---
    Potato chips?
[08:15] ---
    They’re barbecued meat flavor…
    you help out too!
[08:18] ---
    Huh?!
[08:26] ---
    Here he comes!
[08:31] ---
    Even if it is just potato chips,
[08:33] ---
    I won’t let anybody else have
    the last piece, no matter who you are.
[08:37] ---
    Choji and I have worked as
    a team for many years,
[08:41] ---
    so coordinating with him
    is easiest for me.
[08:46] ---
    I understand that,
[08:47] ---
    but in this kind of situation,
    one would normally solicit Shino first!
[08:52] ---
    Oh, shut up.
[09:00] ---
    Fat chance...!
[09:12] ---
    Shino is on a special mission
    with his father.
[09:17] ---
    Hey…don’t tell me…
[09:19] ---
    Right. He's in.
[09:20] ---
    No way...!
[09:24] ---
    I see… Sounds interesting…
[09:28] ---
    It looks like it was worth getting up early
    and going for a walk, doesn’t it?
[09:31] ---
    Shikamaru, what about the other guys?
[09:34] ---
    I’d like to take my time to look for some,
    but we’re pressed for time.
[09:38] ---
    If we don’t find anybody else
    by the time we leave the village,
[09:42] ---
    it will be just us!
[09:44] ---
    It appears that your operation
    was a success.
[09:47] ---
    Yeah…
[09:48] ---
    Is it okay for you
    to be released already?
[09:51] ---
    I was told that I would be able
    to undertake light training soon.
[09:56] ---
    I see…
[10:09] ---
    I see…
[10:10] ---
    It’s a hassle,
    but the more people the better…
[10:17] ---
    Damn… At a time like this, I…
[10:23] ---
    Lee! Do what you need to do.
[10:47] ---
    I’ll climb these steps alone
    starting tomorrow!
[10:52] ---
    Lee…
[10:55] ---
    I’ll be fine! You go!
[11:07] ---
    We’re at our time limit!
[11:14] ---
    Well, I’ve assembled five people…
[11:24] ---
    All right! Everybody, follow me!
[11:32] ---
    Hey…
[11:34] ---
    Hey, Naruto…
[11:35] ---
    I’m supposed to be the squad leader.
    Though it sure is a drag…
[11:41] ---
    You really think everything will be okay
    if things are left in your hands?
[11:44] ---
    You don’t seem very reliable…
[11:47] ---
    What’s up with you acting
    like the boss, Naruto?
[11:51] ---
    Although being ordered about by
    some unmotivated guy like Shikamaru
[11:54] ---
    doesn’t sit right with me either…
[11:58] ---
    But Shikamaru is already a Chunin!
[12:01] ---
    We have to follow his orders.
[12:04] ---
    What that means is that
    the elders of the village recognized him
[12:07] ---
    as capable of being a leader.
[12:11] ---
    Since that’s the case,
    come up with some strategy and plan.
[12:15] ---
    From what I heard,
    there are enemies
[12:17] ---
    and there’s a strong possibility
    that they’re gonna ambush us.
[12:20] ---
    For a start,
    as this is a rescue operation,
[12:23] ---
    we will be in the position
    of pursuit.
[12:25] ---
    In other words,
    the enemy can easily gain the initiative.
[12:29] ---
    Therefore, I will decide
    on a deployment formation
[12:33] ---
    that will respond quickly
    to any assault by the enemy.
[12:36] ---
    If you ignore me and
    move of your own accord,
[12:39] ---
    we will all die.
[12:43] ---
    We will go in a single file formation.
[12:47] ---
    First of all,
    the all-important spearhead will be…
[12:52] ---
    Kiba, that’s you!
[12:55] ---
    You and Akamaru go on
    walks year round
[12:58] ---
    and are therefore well-versed in the terrain
    and geography of the Land of Fire.
[13:01] ---
    And since your nose is
    very sensitive,
[13:02] ---
    you can track Sasuke
    with your sense of smell and,
[13:05] ---
    you can distinguish booby traps
    that carry the enemy’s scent
[13:07] ---
    which makes them
    easy to find…
[13:09] ---
    And moreover, you and Akamaru as
    a pair will be extremely efficient
[13:13] ---
    in compensating for the weakness
    of a single file formation to assault.
[13:19] ---
    And…second in line will be me,
    the squad leader.
[13:23] ---
    I can give orders
    as required in any situation
[13:25] ---
    from my position
    directly behind Kiba
[13:28] ---
    and can give orders to those behind me
    using only hand signals.
[13:32] ---
    And in the middle...
    in the number three position is Naruto.
[13:37] ---
    The middle position is
    the best for you,
[13:39] ---
    since you're capable
    of executing quick moves
[13:41] ---
    and are able to respond immediately
    to anything in front or behind.
[13:45] ---
    You're the cornerstone...
    And you have Shadow Clone, too.
[13:50] ---
    And fourth in line is Choji.
[13:53] ---
    You. You don't have speed,
[13:56] ---
    but your ability to strike is the best
    among the squad members.
[13:59] ---
    Line leader Kiba, I, and Naruto
    will launch a surprise attack
[14:02] ---
    and I’ll use you to launch
    the deciding blow.
[14:04] ---
    In other words, your role is
    to attack the routed enemy.
[14:07] ---
    And then, on the tail end
    will be you, Neji…
[14:10] ---
    You are assigned to
    the most difficult position of rear lookout.
[14:14] ---
    You will use your Byakugan
    to constantly check
[14:16] ---
    that there are no loopholes
    in the ranks.
[14:23] ---
    Got it? Take a careful look at this.
[14:32] ---
    Use this diagram to verify
    the radius of your assigned watch.
[14:36] ---
    Kiba watches the front,
[14:38] ---
    I’m responsible for
    a wide forward view,
[14:41] ---
    Naruto watches left, Choji right,
    and Neji…
[14:46] ---
    Using your Byakugan,
    you cover the entire area to the rear.
[14:51] ---
    I want to familiarize myself
    with our current military potential.
[14:55] ---
    Let me check all the Ninja equipment
    each of you currently has…
[14:59] ---
    I will commit that
    to memory straight away.
[15:02] ---
    Any questions?
[15:06] ---
    Even though he just assembled
    his men a short while ago,
[15:09] ---
    he’s already created
    the best possible formation…
[15:12] ---
    If not, I want to tell you
    the most important thing last.
[15:20] ---
    Sasuke and I aren’t close friends.
[15:25] ---
    In fact, I don’t particularly like him.
[15:32] ---
    However, he is also a Shinobi belonging
    to the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
[15:36] ---
    He is a comrade!
[15:37] ---
    Therefore, I will put my life
    on the line to help him!
[15:40] ---
    That’s the way
    of the Leaf Village.
[15:43] ---
    In this case, even I can’t just sit back
    and be a sluggard.
[15:49] ---
    Because I am responsible
    for your lives.
[15:56] ---
    Wow… You’re acting kind of
    like a Chunin, aren’t you?!
[16:03] ---
    Okay then, as soon as he's checked
    our Ninja tools, we’ll depart.
[16:07] ---
    Everybody, take out your Ninja tools.
[16:17] ---
    Sasuke wouldn’t fall victim
    to that kind of guy’s enticement…
[16:20] ---
    He’s already
    a really powerful guy,
[16:23] ---
    so he wouldn’t need to do
    that kind of thing! I guarantee it!
[16:31] ---
    Damn… Why, Sasuke…?!
[16:35] ---
    All right! Let’s go!
[16:37] ---
    Wait!
[16:43] ---
    Sakura!
[16:46] ---
    I heard the whole story
    from Lady Hokage.
[16:49] ---
    I’m sorry, but I can’t take you along
    on this mission.
[16:53] ---
    Even you weren’t able
    to convince Sasuke, right?
[16:58] ---
    All that can be done now is for us
    to use force to convince him…
[17:03] ---
    Sakura, your role in this has ended.
[17:10] ---
    Which means, Sakura,
    that you and Sasuke…?!
[17:18] ---
    Sakura…
[17:29] ---
    Naruto… This is a…
    once in a lifetime request...
[17:36] ---
    Please bring…
    please bring Sasuke back.
[17:42] ---
    I couldn’t do it!
    I wasn’t able to stop Sasuke!
[17:49] ---
    At this point, the only person
    who would be able to stop Sasuke…
[17:54] ---
    who would be able to save him…
[17:57] ---
    is you…Naruto…
[18:11] ---
    You like Sasuke so much,
    don’t you, Sakura?
[18:16] ---
    I understand to my very core
[18:20] ---
    how painful it must be
    for you right now, Sakura.
[18:26] ---
    Sakura, there’s one thing
    I want to ask you.
[18:30] ---
    Huh?
[18:32] ---
    How do you feel about…Naruto?
[18:36] ---
    Thwarting someone’s love seems
    to have become natural to him.
[18:40] ---
    He actually seems to be enjoying
    my suffering.
[18:43] ---
    Naruto doesn’t understand
    the least thing about me.
[18:47] ---
    He’s just annoying.
[19:02] ---
    Naruto…thank you…
[19:06] ---
    I’ll bring Sasuke back without fail!
    I promise that on my life!
[19:15] ---
    You always understood me…
[19:19] ---
    You always helped me…
[19:26] ---
    Naruto…
[19:33] ---
    Hey, hey, Naruto!
[19:35] ---
    You really think you’re gonna be okay
    saying that kind of thing?!
[19:38] ---
    Sure! I will not go back on my word.
[19:41] ---
    That’s my Way of the Ninja!
[19:44] ---
    All right! Let’s hurry up and go!
[19:47] ---
    We’ve lost a little time…
    Let’s hurry!
[19:52] ---
    OK!
[20:08] ---
    Naruto struck the pose of
    a nice guy as he said that…
[20:12] ---
    It’ll all be all right now.
[20:15] ---
    I’m positive…
    I’m positive that it will all go well!
[20:35] ---
    Master Sasuke… Around here will do,
    don’t you think?
[20:39] ---
    We’ve already exited
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
[20:43] ---
    What is that?
[20:45] ---
    To tell you the truth,
[20:46] ---
    Orochimaru has given us
    one important task…
[20:51] ---
    So…what is it?
[21:10] ---
    It will be necessary for you
    to die once…
[21:25] ---
    Once in a long while, once in a while
[21:32] ---
    The remnants of a person
    broken by dreams
[21:38] ---
    Look like a mountain
[21:46] ---
    Clinging to the Divine,
    clinging to Buddha
[21:53] ---
    The remnants of a person crying
[21:59] ---
    Look like a mountain
[22:04] ---
    Rendezvous with a happy dance circle
[22:07] ---
    This is my victory pose, round and around
     (round around)
[22:11] ---
    Shake shake shake
    Let’s look
[22:14] ---
    With a bye-bye rhythm that never ends
[22:28] ---
    Look like a mountain
[22:35] ---
    Look like a mountain
[22:38] ---
    Look like a mountain
[22:42] ---
    Look like a mountain
[22:50] ---
    From here on up, there's more danger
    of traps and ambushes.
[22:52] ---
    – Stay alert and use all your senses.
    – Roger that!
[22:55] ---
    – Find the enemy before he gets you.
    – You can count on me!
[22:57] ---
    – And any signs of the enemy--
    – Right!
[22:59] ---
    Say, are you listening?!
[23:01] ---
    Not to worry.
    No matter who the enemy may be,
[23:03] ---
    I'll thrash him with
    my new technique!
[23:06] ---
    I'm a fool to
    even attempt to explain.
[23:10] ---
    Next time:
     "Sound vs. Leaf"
