**[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"
