**[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
**[02:06] ---**
The smell is moving away…
**[02:10] ---**
I’m saved…
**[02:14] ---**
Who is?
**[02:26] ---**
Please wait!
**[02:29] ---**
The real deal…starts now!
**[02:35] ---**
My role now is to stall this person
as long as possible…
**[02:40] ---**
so, I should’ve avoided big techniques
that could be self-defeating…
**[02:46] ---**
But it seems this isn’t an opponent
easy enough to beat
**[02:49] ---**
without using my Secret Technique…
**[02:54] ---**
Here I go!
**[02:56] ---**
I just had surgery
and am not at my best…
**[03:00] ---**
But if it’d just be opening the first of the
Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Opening,
**[03:03] ---**
I should somehow…
**[03:08] ---**
The first gate… The Gate of Opening…
**[03:11] ---**
Open!
**[03:15] ---**
Primary Lotus!
**[03:24] ---**
The impact of the kick
was suppressed by the bones…?!
**[03:27] ---**
That’s some speed… But it’s over.
**[03:32] ---**
Damn it… No matter how much I think,
I can’t come up with any good strategies…!
**[03:39] ---**
I’ve had it…can’t hold any further…
**[03:45] ---**
With me right in front of you,
you can’t even howl like a loser…?
**[03:50] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:52] ---**
Die!
**[03:54] ---**
You’re mine!
**[03:56] ---**
Don’t you be smiling
before you’re going to die!
**[04:09] ---**
What?!
**[04:18] ---**
Who’re you?!
**[04:26] ---**
It seems you’re an ally this time…
**[04:37] ---**
Who’re you?!
**[04:39] ---**
A Sand…
**[04:42] ---**
Shinobi…
**[04:44] ---**
ally of the Leaf!
**[04:50] ---**
The Sand Shinobi:
Allies of the Leaf
**[05:10] ---**
The Sand…?! Am I still drunk…?
**[05:28] ---**
Gaara of the Desert…
**[05:37] ---**
Gaara.
**[05:42] ---**
Is that who you are?
**[05:46] ---**
Digital Shrapnel!
**[06:11] ---**
Did he blow the finger tip bones…?!
**[06:17] ---**
Impetuous…
**[06:32] ---**
You…
**[06:35] ---**
When you fought me…
you had more speed and sharpness.
**[06:45] ---**
Easy to say…
**[06:49] ---**
It’s not that I’m holding a grudge…
**[06:51] ---**
But on account of you,
I had kind of a tough time of it.
**[06:59] ---**
I see…
**[07:06] ---**
But…why you…?
**[07:10] ---**
I owe a lot…
**[07:15] ---**
to the Leaf.
**[07:19] ---**
Sasuke!
**[07:27] ---**
I heard that we’d made up
with the Sand traitors…
**[07:31] ---**
But to think you’d change
this abruptly…
**[07:35] ---**
It’s not like we attacked the Leaf
for the fun of it…
**[07:39] ---**
It was an order…
**[07:41] ---**
In the same way
that I’m here now.
**[07:47] ---**
I see. The Fifth Hokage
asked the Sand…
**[07:50] ---**
It’s a big help.
**[07:52] ---**
By the way…
has your sharpness gotten worse?
**[07:57] ---**
Huh?
**[08:03] ---**
Are you going to give up again
or something?
**[08:06] ---**
This time, I’ll do it for you!
**[08:09] ---**
Sorry, but I can’t give up.
**[08:12] ---**
A man mustn’t be protected
by a woman, so…
**[08:17] ---**
As usual, you’re a guy who’s annoying
with the man-and-woman stuff.
**[08:20] ---**
Even if you act tough, it’s totally obvious
that it’s bravado, you idiot!
**[08:33] ---**
This time you’re taking sides
with the Leaf, huh?!
**[08:35] ---**
You guys sure are busy
all over the place!
**[08:39] ---**
She uses Genjutsu
with the sound of her flute.
**[08:41] ---**
Right!
**[08:49] ---**
Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!
**[09:04] ---**
Blowing away the sounds of the flute
**[09:06] ---**
and being able to nail the opponent
with a physical attack.
**[09:09] ---**
To think she can attack and defend
with one hand…
**[09:11] ---**
Unlike me, she has a nice Jutsu.
**[09:31] ---**
That woman’s a natural enemy to me!
**[09:49] ---**
Has Ukon…just about caught him
according to the strategy?
**[10:05] ---**
Puppet, huh…?
**[10:10] ---**
You three had been approaching
together, right?
**[10:14] ---**
Two went on ahead.
**[10:16] ---**
You guys are weak, so…
**[10:18] ---**
You idiot… These guys are
out of the ordinary!
**[10:25] ---**
Behind you!
**[10:33] ---**
I can’t…move.
**[10:36] ---**
What’s this guy?
**[10:40] ---**
I leave this to you, Sakon! Do it!
**[10:47] ---**
Where’s the other one?
**[10:50] ---**
Hey! Who are you looking for?
**[10:56] ---**
That state… I know!
**[10:58] ---**
Be careful!
They enter the body and start to fuse!
**[11:03] ---**
It’s too late.
**[11:15] ---**
This guy!
**[11:20] ---**
What’s the matter, Sakon?!
**[11:43] ---**
It seems like…
**[11:45] ---**
your Jutsu didn’t work…
on the puppet.
**[11:49] ---**
This is a puppet, too?!
**[11:55] ---**
Let me tell you this.
**[11:56] ---**
We, the Sand Ninja,
aren’t as lax as the Leaf.
**[12:00] ---**
Moreover, don’t be carelessly
approaching…
**[12:09] ---**
the Black Ant!
**[12:16] ---**
He was fearsome
when he was an enemy...
**[12:18] ---**
But to think he’d be this dependable
when becoming an ally.
**[13:01] ---**
Ow… I got careless.
Let me rest in your body for a bit.
**[13:06] ---**
Good-for-nothing guy…
**[13:08] ---**
Who are these guys?
**[13:10] ---**
This is their ability!
**[13:13] ---**
Although you were caught off guard…
**[13:16] ---**
you getting hammered
by that puppet play…
**[13:19] ---**
Well…
**[13:21] ---**
Its power and speed
are nothing special.
**[13:24] ---**
I won’t be beaten
by the likes of such a toy.
**[13:36] ---**
And I was able
to heal my belly wound.
**[13:39] ---**
I don’t have much Chakra left…
but well,
**[13:42] ---**
these are opponents I should be able
to tear apart, nevertheless.
**[13:47] ---**
Indeed, it seems he’s healed.
What a recovery ability he’s got.
**[13:55] ---**
Ordinarily, I’m not the one
who becomes the main body,
**[13:58] ---**
so it’s hard to move, damn it.
**[14:01] ---**
You sure are mocking us…
**[14:05] ---**
He’s not an opponent
you can beat fighting head on!
**[14:07] ---**
We should retreat for now and…
**[14:11] ---**
We can’t back down after having been
mocked, you know.
**[14:25] ---**
Don’t mess with me!
**[14:51] ---**
The Black Ant isn’t a Mechanism
for attacking.
**[14:54] ---**
Primarily, it’s just for capturing.
**[14:57] ---**
And…Crow paired up with the Black Ant
is exclusively for attacking.
**[15:03] ---**
Hey you! Let me out!
**[15:32] ---**
Eat this!
**[15:35] ---**
Puppet Show…
**[15:36] ---**
Hey, let me out! Let me out!
**[15:41] ---**
Secret Black Move Iron Maiden!
**[16:11] ---**
The play is over.
**[16:21] ---**
She hid, huh…?
**[16:25] ---**
Or did she run away?
**[16:27] ---**
No…That couldn’t be…
**[16:32] ---**
I just got here.
**[16:35] ---**
Briefly explain the present situation
**[16:37] ---**
including an analysis of her ability
and battle style.
**[16:41] ---**
First off, her fundamental tactic is
ensnaring her opponent in Genjutsu
**[16:45] ---**
with the sound of her flute.
**[16:47] ---**
And then she delivers physical attacks
to that opening.
**[16:52] ---**
Demon Flute: Chains of Fantasia!
**[17:01] ---**
This is bad! Is this Genjutsu?
**[17:08] ---**
I can’t move my body…!
**[17:14] ---**
I believe this was your last hand, right?
**[17:18] ---**
Unfortunately…
this is reversed checkmate!
**[17:22] ---**
You little rat!
**[17:24] ---**
She’s a classic Genjutsu-style
distance range type.
**[17:27] ---**
Most likely, she must’ve seen your Jutsu
and figured out immediately
**[17:31] ---**
that it wouldn’t mix well
with her own Jutsu.
**[17:34] ---**
And it’s two against one, too.
**[17:36] ---**
She’ll never appear before us again
until she casts her Genjutsu.
**[17:41] ---**
Sound, huh…?
**[17:43] ---**
Yeah…
**[17:47] ---**
Genjutsu generally appeal
to the five senses of people…
**[17:50] ---**
sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
**[17:57] ---**
The type that uses hearing
is the most troublesome of them all.
**[18:03] ---**
After she cleverly takes a distance on you
and then hides…
**[18:09] ---**
you have no idea where the Genjutsu
will be cast from or when.
**[18:14] ---**
The idea is for us to already be cast
by the Genjutsu
**[18:16] ---**
by the time we’ve figured out where she is
by the sound of the flute…
**[18:24] ---**
Ouch…
**[18:27] ---**
In my opinion, we’re at an
overwhelming disadvantage.
**[18:32] ---**
A battle with this type, essentially,
wouldn’t even be worth talking about
**[18:36] ---**
without sensor types
like Kiba or Neji.
**[18:40] ---**
At this rate, we’ll get pushed into a corner
sooner or later.
**[18:44] ---**
– We should just retreat…
– Who asked for your opinion?!
**[18:49] ---**
I told you to just explain the situation.
**[18:53] ---**
Don’t misjudge my power…
**[18:58] ---**
If she thinks
she’s hiding well from me…
**[19:01] ---**
in a distance enough for the sound
of her flute to reach…
**[19:07] ---**
she’s naïve!
**[19:09] ---**
Summoning: Blade Dance
**[19:16] ---**
Cut!
**[19:26] ---**
All right…
**[19:29] ---**
I’ve made it this far.
lt’s about time for my Genjutsu…
**[19:32] ---**
Huh?
**[20:22] ---**
How about it?
**[20:24] ---**
It’s done.
**[20:27] ---**
She’s sure…pushy.
**[20:29] ---**
She’s scarier than my mom.
**[20:35] ---**
Pretty good, huh?
**[20:38] ---**
But well…
**[20:40] ---**
I just have to be grateful
for this time…huh?
**[21:24] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[21:27] ---**
And you smiled
**[21:30] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[21:32] ---**
In my own words
**[21:35] ---**
Would you think it was
a bother if I approached you?
**[21:41] ---**
Despite my doubts,
I worked up my courage
**[21:46] ---**
My clumsy attempts with words
**[21:52] ---**
You listened without turning away
**[21:59] ---**
No wonder I get carried away by you
**[22:04] ---**
But you don’t feel anything for me, do you?
**[22:11] ---**
I feel so sad
**[22:14] ---**
But…
**[22:15] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:18] ---**
And you smiled
**[22:21] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[22:23] ---**
In my own words
**[22:27] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:29] ---**
And you smiled
**[22:32] ---**
For the first time, I was able to speak
**[22:35] ---**
In my own words
**[22:38] ---**
For the first time, I spoke to you
**[22:51] ---**
I got careless earlier,
but it won’t be like that now!
**[22:55] ---**
Now, you please stand back.
**[22:57] ---**
I’m grateful for the help,
but his opponent will be me!
**[23:01] ---**
Next, for sure,
with my ultimate Lotus…!
**[23:04] ---**
Hey, why are you moving forward?
I’m his opponent!
**[23:11] ---**
