**[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
**[01:49] ---**
Hurry!
**[01:50] ---**
Right…
**[02:07] ---**
We’re close!
**[02:09] ---**
There are two enemies left…
**[02:11] ---**
There are three of us…
lt’s three against two.
**[02:14] ---**
We might be able to do it with
one more contact if we do it well.
**[02:18] ---**
All right! All right!
Let’s do it!
**[02:21] ---**
No! It’s four against two!
**[02:25] ---**
Okay, okay! I’m sorry.
**[02:28] ---**
Counting Akamaru,
it’s four against two!
**[02:31] ---**
Let’s finish it quickly with
our new technique next!
**[02:38] ---**
Say, say. If necessary,
I’ll do an awesome Shadow Clone,
**[02:42] ---**
so it’ll be okay!
**[02:44] ---**
That’s reassuring…
**[02:48] ---**
But my strategy comes first. Got it?
**[02:53] ---**
Y-Yeah…
**[02:56] ---**
For that purpose,
**[02:57] ---**
we have to catch up
before the sun sets at any cost.
**[03:01] ---**
I know. Full throttle!
**[03:15] ---**
The sun’s starting to set…
**[03:17] ---**
Neither Jirobo nor
Kidomaru have come.
**[03:20] ---**
It seems they’re having
a hard time.
**[03:23] ---**
It doesn’t matter…
More important is Lord Orochimaru.
**[03:31] ---**
We’ve only completed one-third
of the journey in half a day…
**[03:42] ---**
They all have Curse Marks, huh…
**[03:46] ---**
No questions asked, huh?
**[03:48] ---**
This is gonna be different
than that time before
**[03:50] ---**
with your surprise attack…
**[03:55] ---**
Too much interference…
**[03:58] ---**
Yeah, this is bad…
**[04:00] ---**
We don’t know whether
we’ll make it in time at this rate!
**[04:16] ---**
Damn! We still can’t catch up…
**[04:18] ---**
No, this is good enough.
**[04:20] ---**
We’ll maintain this distance
and continue the pursuit…
**[04:23] ---**
Wh-What do you mean?
**[04:26] ---**
I mean, we’re delaying
the attack until dawn breaks.
**[04:30] ---**
Get real!
We can’t afford such leisure !
**[04:33] ---**
That’s right! Besides, if we’re going
to attack anyway,
**[04:36] ---**
isn’t it more advantageous
to use the darkness and attack?!
**[04:40] ---**
For us, the darkness works
to our advantage
**[04:44] ---**
only the moment
we launch the attack.
**[04:47] ---**
It’d be close to impossible
to grab Sasuke,
**[04:50] ---**
get away from them and escape
to a safe location
**[04:53] ---**
in just that one moment.
**[05:00] ---**
If we couldn’t get Sasuke
back in that one moment,
**[05:04] ---**
they’d probably just focus
on guarding the coffin.
**[05:07] ---**
If that happens, we wouldn’t stand
a chance in the darkness.
**[05:12] ---**
On the contrary,
**[05:13] ---**
for the part where they wouldn’t
have to move needlessly,
**[05:15] ---**
suddenly they’d get the advantage.
**[05:18] ---**
It’d be a different story
if we had Neji’s Byakugan, but…
**[05:24] ---**
Hey, come on.
**[05:25] ---**
Aren’t you forgetting Akamaru’s nose
and mine as well??
**[05:29] ---**
I was sure to include your senses
of smell in the calculations!
**[05:33] ---**
Even so, up ahead they have
the geographical advantage.
**[05:36] ---**
Plus…
**[05:41] ---**
if I can’t use my Jutsu,
it’ll be no use.
**[05:48] ---**
Even if I seal off their movements
with Shadow Possession Jutsu…
**[05:51] ---**
the effect would be reduced to half
if clouds were to cover the moon.
**[05:55] ---**
It’s a drag, but there are too many
dangers, and uncertain elements.
**[06:00] ---**
But!
**[06:01] ---**
Got it!
**[06:02] ---**
Naruto?
**[06:03] ---**
You’re the leader…
**[06:05] ---**
I’ll follow your instructions, Shikamaru!
**[06:08] ---**
Right. I’m counting on you!
**[06:11] ---**
The Vessel Arrives Too Late
**[06:23] ---**
Hey, Tayuya!
Will we really make it in time?
**[06:26] ---**
I was just told to deliver
Master Sasuke by tomorrow.
**[06:31] ---**
By tomorrow, huh?
**[06:33] ---**
I can’t say that we have
lots of time to spare,
**[06:35] ---**
but I guess we’ll make it in time.
**[06:37] ---**
I hope so.
**[07:33] ---**
Lord Orochimaru…
**[07:42] ---**
Sasuke…
**[07:43] ---**
No Sasuke…yet?
**[07:48] ---**
He’s running out of time…
He can’t go on any longer.
**[07:51] ---**
Lord Orochimaru…
**[07:53] ---**
Several bodies have been
prepared for you!
**[07:56] ---**
And…you could even use me,
if necessary…
**[08:01] ---**
It has to be Sasuke…
**[08:05] ---**
How long do you think I’ve waited?
**[08:08] ---**
It’s a matter of urgency!
**[08:10] ---**
The Third Hokage’s Jutsu…
**[08:13] ---**
His curse was stronger
than expected!
**[08:27] ---**
Take this! Sealing Jutsu!
Reaper Death Seal!
**[08:41] ---**
Wh-What’s this sensation?
**[08:54] ---**
Seal!
**[09:06] ---**
My arm…
**[09:19] ---**
If you don’t “reanimate” right now,
you’ll lose everything!
**[09:24] ---**
Is that what you want?!
**[09:26] ---**
Lose everything…
**[09:35] ---**
I’ve selected and prepared
proficient bodies for you.
**[09:37] ---**
Please leave it to me! Also…
**[09:40] ---**
I’ll handle the recovery
of Sasuke as well.
**[09:45] ---**
Shall I use Kimimaro?
**[09:59] ---**
Curse you …
**[10:02] ---**
Third Hokage!
**[10:25] ---**
Release!
**[10:41] ---**
Listen well, everyone!
**[10:49] ---**
I shall release you from this prison…
**[10:58] ---**
However, it’ll only
be one of you!
**[11:10] ---**
Now all that’s left is to
wake up Kimimaro, huh?
**[11:47] ---**
Just as I thought…
**[11:49] ---**
I wasn’t summoned this time, either.
**[11:53] ---**
Dr. Kabuto, I…
**[11:56] ---**
Take care of your body.
**[11:59] ---**
Your role is now finished.
**[12:02] ---**
It’s not Sound Ninja Five now,
Kimimaro…
**[12:13] ---**
I…still haven’t…
**[12:16] ---**
Your replacement has
already been found.
**[12:23] ---**
He possesses power equal
to your “Earth” Curse Mark.
**[12:26] ---**
He has been given
the “Heaven” Curse Mark.
**[12:29] ---**
Additionally, he even
has the Kekkei Genkai.
**[12:41] ---**
Wonder who’s stronger…
**[12:51] ---**
What’s the matter?
Don’t get too excited.
**[13:07] ---**
Dr. Kabuto…
**[13:12] ---**
M-My life, how much do I have left?
**[13:21] ---**
You shouldn’t talk anymore…
**[13:25] ---**
P-People… People are born
with some kind of meaning…
**[13:31] ---**
Since people are born,
**[13:33] ---**
there must be some kind
of important calling.
**[13:37] ---**
Recently I’ve started thinking so…
**[13:54] ---**
That the meaning for being born…
**[13:57] ---**
For people, finding the meaning is…
**[14:02] ---**
the only freedom God has given.
**[14:11] ---**
I understand what you want to say.
**[14:13] ---**
Indeed, Lord Orochimaru
is now suffering.
**[14:17] ---**
It’s an unprecedented
difficult situation,
**[14:21] ---**
but I’ll mince no words.
**[14:23] ---**
What can you do now?
**[14:26] ---**
You’ve now lost your value
as a “vessel.”
**[14:31] ---**
A new vessel is heading this way.
**[14:35] ---**
Well…
**[14:36] ---**
At this point in time,
it’s too late, but…
**[14:50] ---**
Okay! You said you were going
to let one person out of here.
**[14:53] ---**
You’re going to keep
your promise.
**[14:55] ---**
What’re you doing?
Open the door now!
**[15:17] ---**
What? There was another one?
**[15:20] ---**
Hurry up and…
**[15:52] ---**
No…I…
I’ll be eaten here, right now…
**[16:02] ---**
I’ll let you out of here…
**[16:05] ---**
And I shall grant you
just one wish.
**[16:21] ---**
My clan that was captured
for your experiments.
**[16:25] ---**
Please release them.
**[16:29] ---**
Sure. Consider it done.
**[16:34] ---**
You don’t have to worry.
**[16:36] ---**
Your strong will is going to remain
as Residual Aura inside me.
**[16:42] ---**
It’s not like you’ll lose everything.
**[16:48] ---**
Now then, your flesh is mine…
**[16:59] ---**
With this, Lord Orochimaru’s body
will, once again
**[17:02] ---**
be unable to reanimate
for several years.
**[17:05] ---**
However, there is the next time.
**[17:11] ---**
I-Indeed…
**[17:13] ---**
my body no longer has value
as a vessel for Reanimation Jutsu.
**[17:19] ---**
It will now be difficult for me
who has lost everything…
**[17:22] ---**
to find my own calling.
**[17:26] ---**
I’ve finally understood that…
**[17:32] ---**
Even if it’s not me,
**[17:34] ---**
I’ll bring in the new “vessel”
even if it costs me my life.
**[17:41] ---**
That’s my repayment to
Lord Orochimaru…
**[17:46] ---**
That’s the only redemption
for me for being worthless…
**[18:04] ---**
Hold on a minute!
**[18:07] ---**
Are we almost there?
**[18:08] ---**
No… It should still take a while.
**[18:11] ---**
More importantly…
**[18:19] ---**
What were those idiots
Jirobo and Kidomaru doing?!
**[18:25] ---**
We caught up!
**[18:31] ---**
All right! I’ll take care of
this nice and quick!
**[18:34] ---**
R-Right away?!
**[18:42] ---**
Eat this!
**[18:48] ---**
Multiple Fists Barrage!
**[18:56] ---**
Chakra in his palm…?!
**[19:00] ---**
Shadow Clone Transformation, eh?
**[19:02] ---**
Rasengan!
**[19:07] ---**
N-No way… His hands now…?!
**[19:10] ---**
There’s no point if
I catch you before you do it!
**[19:14] ---**
Now, Kiba!
**[19:15] ---**
Tunneling Fang!
**[19:19] ---**
This was also a Shadow Clone?!
**[19:26] ---**
Luring Sakon into alignment with me…
**[19:29] ---**
and aiming at me from the start?!
**[19:30] ---**
You think you succeeded
just with that?!
**[19:36] ---**
Damn!
**[19:38] ---**
I’ve been nailed.
**[19:40] ---**
Shadow Possession Jutsu succeeded!
**[19:42] ---**
A diversion…
**[19:45] ---**
He’s coming!
**[19:48] ---**
Tayuya! What’re you doing
idling away?!
**[19:51] ---**
N-No!
**[19:54] ---**
Why do you move forward?!
**[19:57] ---**
I can’t dodge!
**[20:02] ---**
Here you go!
**[20:04] ---**
Nice! Kiba, Shikamaru!
**[20:07] ---**
Shikamaru! Let’s get out of here!
**[20:11] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:12] ---**
Punks…!
**[20:14] ---**
You scums… Messing around with us.
**[20:20] ---**
They were full of openings
just as I thought.
**[20:24] ---**
Having too much ability individually
is also a problem…
**[20:27] ---**
It went well.
**[20:29] ---**
Yeah, it went just as calculated!
**[20:32] ---**
Just in terms of teamwork,
ours was way better than theirs.
**[20:48] ---**
I won’t let you get away!
**[21:23] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[21:26] ---**
And you smiled
**[21:29] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[21:31] ---**
In my own words
**[21:34] ---**
Would you think it was
a bother if I approached you?
**[21:40] ---**
Despite my doubts,
I worked up my courage
**[21:46] ---**
My clumsy attempts with words
**[21:51] ---**
You listened without turning away
**[21:58] ---**
No wonder I get carried away by you
**[22:03] ---**
But you don’t feel anything for me, do you?
**[22:11] ---**
I feel so sad
**[22:13] ---**
But…
**[22:14] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:17] ---**
And you smiled
**[22:20] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[22:22] ---**
In my own words
**[22:26] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:28] ---**
And you smiled
**[22:31] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[22:34] ---**
In my own words
**[22:37] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:50] ---**
Damn it! To come this far
and have another one appear!
**[22:55] ---**
On top of that, there’s something out
of ordinary about this guy.
**[22:58] ---**
What’s this bloodcurdling feeling
on my back?
**[23:02] ---**
Indeed, we are even on numbers,
two against two.
**[23:06] ---**
But this…
**[23:07] ---**
I’m sorry, Naruto.
He’s my miscalculation.
**[23:12] ---**

A New Enemy Appears!”
