[00:12] ---
    Hey boys, listen up!
[00:16] ---
    Humans aren’t such a big deal
[00:22] ---
    Who needs tomorrow anyway,
[00:26] ---
    so don’t hide your fists
[00:31] ---
    You’re not old enough
[00:33] ---
    to sell your dreams away to uncertainty
[00:40] ---
    Hey boys, you’re the only ones
[00:45] ---
    who can pull the trigger in your heart
[00:50] ---
    All the kids said
[00:52] ---
    We’re living in this senseless, ridiculous,
[00:55] ---
    awesome world right at this moment,
[00:59] ---
    All the kids said
[01:02] ---
    Don’t forget every truth or lie
[01:09] ---
    All the kids said
[01:11] ---
    We’re way too young to die
[01:14] ---
    In this empty town lined with empty faces
[01:19] ---
    All the kids took off
[01:21] ---
    into this windless night
[01:23] ---
    Because they want to change something
[01:42] ---
    The Promise That Could Not Be Kept
[01:55] ---
    Kakashi Sensei…
[01:59] ---
    Where’s Sasuke?
[02:08] ---
    Kakashi!
[02:10] ---
    How is Naruto Uzumaki’s condition?
[02:12] ---
    He’s okay.
[02:14] ---
    What about Sasuke?
    Where’s Sasuke Uchiha?!
[02:32] ---
    How are the other Genin?
[02:34] ---
    Yes! By Lady Hokage’s order,
[02:37] ---
    the first and second medical corps
    have been dispatched…
[02:39] ---
    The wounded from all areas have
    already been gathered.
[02:42] ---
    They were convoyed after
    administering emergency treatment.
[02:46] ---
    How are their conditions?
[02:47] ---
    Yes! Shikamaru Nara has minor injuries…
[02:50] ---
    Kiba Inuzuka has serious injuries,
    but it’s not life-threatening.
[02:55] ---
    Neji Hyuga and Choji Akimichi
    are in serious condition…
[03:00] ---
    At this point,
    there’s no telling what will happen.
[03:16] ---
    Everyone…
[03:38] ---
    The ingredients and
    effects of the medicine
[03:40] ---
    have been thoroughly researched.
[03:43] ---
    Excellent…
[03:46] ---
    Now bring the deer antler!
[03:47] ---
    Yes, ma’am!
[03:53] ---
    How is he…Big Sister?
[04:03] ---
    No walks for him for quite a while…
[04:05] ---
    The muscles of his limbs
    have been severely damaged.
[04:07] ---
    You’re a vet, right, Big Sister?
    Can’t you somehow…?
[04:10] ---
    It’ll be okay.
[04:11] ---
    It’ll take time. But there’s no threat
    to his life, so rest easy.
[04:19] ---
    Walks for you are out of the question
    for quite a while, too!
[04:24] ---
    Yeah, I know…
[04:28] ---
    Intensive Care Unit 7
[04:40] ---
    It’ll soon be three hours…
    Please take over.
[04:43] ---
    All right!
[04:44] ---
    Although we’re making
    this kid’s hair into a conductor,
[04:47] ---
    please don’t mistake the cellular rate
    of the deficient parts!
[04:51] ---
    Right!
[04:53] ---
    As for the Chakra control, handle it
    as if we’re threading a needle!
[04:56] ---
    Understood!
[05:07] ---
    Intensive Care Unit 6
[05:20] ---
    There’s no point in
    you getting frustrated, right?
[05:24] ---
    Missions come with sacrifice…
[05:27] ---
    You took the mental training, right?
[05:33] ---
    Training and actual battle
    are different, you know…
[05:36] ---
    I know what missions are about…
[05:40] ---
    And I thought I knew what
    the Shinobi world is like.
[05:45] ---
    I became a platoon leader
    for the first time on this mission.
[05:50] ---
    With that, I understood…
[05:53] ---
    I’m not cut out to be a Shinobi.
[05:58] ---
    Surprisingly fragile…for a man.
[06:03] ---
    This time…
[06:05] ---
    The only thing I was able to do
    as platoon leader…
[06:08] ---
    was to believe in everyone.
[06:12] ---
    I was naïve…
[06:13] ---
    I didn’t have enough power…
[06:16] ---
    It’s all my fault!
[06:19] ---
    Are you afraid of getting hurt?
[06:34] ---
    Shikamaru…
[06:37] ---
    Are you going to be argued down
    by a girl and run away?
[06:42] ---
    It’s a drag…
[06:43] ---
    I don’t want to have arguments.
    I’m not a woman.
[06:47] ---
    Yeah… But you’re not a man, either.
[06:51] ---
    You’re just a coward!
[06:54] ---
    Even if you quit being Shinobi,
    the missions will continue.
[06:57] ---
    Someone has to do it.
[07:01] ---
    Your comrades will just
    be dispatched again…
[07:04] ---
    under a different platoon leader.
[07:06] ---
    And your comrades might die there.
[07:10] ---
    But if at that time,
    you were the platoon leader…
[07:13] ---
    your comrades might be saved
    from that happening to them.
[07:17] ---
    If you reflect on this time,
    make use of the experience and learn,
[07:21] ---
    you might be able to carry out missions
    with more perfection.
[07:27] ---
    If you really think your comrades
    are important to you,
[07:30] ---
    before you think about running away…
[07:33] ---
    think about becoming more exceptional
    for the sake of your comrades!
[07:38] ---
    That’s what real comrades are,
    you coward!
[07:49] ---
    Intensive Care Unit 6
[08:04] ---
    He’s okay, now!
[08:08] ---
    The antidote has stopped
    the death of cells
[08:11] ---
    caused by the side effects of the Pills.
[08:15] ---
    You were a big help this time, Shikaku!
[08:18] ---
    The Nara Clan’s secret medicinal
    preparation manual was very useful.
[08:23] ---
    It must’ve been tough to
    make something like that…
[08:27] ---
    It’s the result of day-to-day study.
[08:30] ---
    Thanks…
[08:31] ---
    Lady Tsunade!
[08:38] ---
    Neji Hyuga…
    His safety line has been secured.
[08:44] ---
    And, there’s some information…
[08:47] ---
    Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki
    have just now returned.
[08:52] ---
    Although seriously injured,
    it seems it’s not life-threatening.
[09:06] ---
    Two, huh?
[09:08] ---
    Shikamaru…
    lt seems the mission is a failure.
[09:17] ---
    But, everyone is alive!
    That’s the most important thing.
[09:26] ---
    Next time for sure…
[09:28] ---
    I’ll carry out the mission perfectly!
[09:47] ---
    Sasuke…You’re the chosen one.
[09:51] ---
    Whatever… Just give me “power.”
[09:59] ---
    Even though the form is different,
    it’s still Lord Orochimaru before your eyes.
[10:05] ---
    If you don’t want to die,
    use more care in how you talk.
[10:11] ---
    Wh-What? This quality of Chakra…
[10:14] ---
    Yes… My future is inside this kid…
[10:19] ---
    Hidden Leaf Hospital
[10:31] ---
    I’m going to where Orochimaru is!
[10:35] ---
    Please…bring back Sasuke!
[10:41] ---
    I’ll bring Sasuke back without fail!
    I promise that on my life!
[10:54] ---
    Oh…You were awake, huh?
[10:58] ---
    Shikamaru!
[11:04] ---
    I’m going on ahead to Choji!
    What about you?
[11:08] ---
    I’m going on ahead to…
    Naruto and Sasuke!
[11:13] ---
    I see… So everyone’s okay.
    That’s good.
[11:22] ---
    Then, Sasuke…
[11:26] ---
    Yeah…he's gone.
[11:45] ---
    Intensive Care Unit 6
[11:48] ---
    Then, I still can’t see him…?
[11:51] ---
    Yeah… But Lady Tsunade said that
    he should regain consciousness soon.
[11:58] ---
    Thank goodness…
[12:00] ---
    It’s really a great help that
[12:02] ---
    Lady Tsunade returned
    to the Leaf Village.
[12:05] ---
    If she hadn’t, right about now,
    Choji would be…
[12:10] ---
    The Lady Fifth…Hokage.
[12:23] ---
    You’ve come to visit?
[12:26] ---
    Information sure travels fast.
[12:35] ---
    Sakura…
[12:37] ---
    Naruto…
[12:44] ---
    I heard you suffered
    quite a serious injury…
[12:47] ---
    But you look well, considering.
[12:54] ---
    I’m sorry… Sakura…
[13:00] ---
    Why do you apologize?
[13:07] ---
    Being you, you probably
    got reckless again, right?!
[13:11] ---
    Jeez, you look like a mummy…
[13:15] ---
    I’m sorry… I…
[13:18] ---
    Hey… The weather’s nice today.
    So open the curtains.
[13:27] ---
    Sakura! I…
[13:29] ---
    I’ll keep my promise, no matter what!
[13:32] ---
    I promised on my life.
    That’s what I said, so I…!
[13:38] ---
    It’s okay already, Naruto…
[13:43] ---
    Sakura! He…
[13:44] ---
    I always…
[13:47] ---
    said that, so… I…
[13:50] ---
    I stick straight to what I say!
[13:53] ---
    That’s my Way of Ninja!
[14:15] ---
    Naruto…
[14:20] ---
    Thanks, Naruto…
[14:27] ---
    I’ll get right to healing this injury
    and I’ve got to bring Sasuke back!
[14:35] ---
    Wh-What was that?!
[14:41] ---
    Per…Pervy Sage?!
[14:45] ---
    Yo!
[14:49] ---
    I’ve come today to tell you
    something important.
[14:53] ---
    From here on,
    as my official disciple,
[14:57] ---
    I’ll train you to become
    a full-fledged Shinobi in three years.
[15:00] ---
    Three years…?
[15:02] ---
    I’ve received some credible information
    from a certain source
[15:05] ---
    concerning the “Akatsuki.”
[15:07] ---
    Akatsuki…
[15:10] ---
    It seems that it will be
    three or four years
[15:13] ---
    before they come after you next.
[15:19] ---
    I don’t care about that!
[15:21] ---
    Talking about stuff that’s
    so far down the road…
[15:23] ---
    I don’t have the time
    to be doing slowpoke training!
[15:27] ---
    What do you mean?
[15:29] ---
    If I don’t go after
    Sasuke immediately,
[15:32] ---
    he might be killed by Orochimaru!
[15:35] ---
    “Immortal” doesn’t mean that
    the flesh is being maintained as is.
[15:41] ---
    Before his body decays,
[15:43] ---
    a strong and new flesh will be made
    into a vessel for his soul.
[15:52] ---
    It seems you’ve learned
    of the true purpose
[15:55] ---
    for Orochimaru seeking Sasuke…
[15:57] ---
    Huh?! Then that means you also knew…?
[16:01] ---
    I was looking into
    Orochimaru’s Immortality Jutsu.
[16:06] ---
    It seems with that Jutsu,
[16:07] ---
    he can’t reincarnate into
    the next body for three years.
[16:14] ---
    And unable to wait for Sasuke,
    he just recently reincarnated…
[16:19] ---
    It’ll be okay for three years from now…
    There is time.
[16:24] ---
    That’s not a lie, is it?!
[16:27] ---
    Not a lie, is it?!
[16:31] ---
    Nope…
[16:37] ---
    However…
[16:41] ---
    Forget about Sasuke…
[16:45] ---
    Sasuke went to Orochimaru
    on his own accord.
[16:50] ---
    No matter what you do,
    he won’t change.
[16:56] ---
    I’ve seen many Shinobi, so I know…
[16:58] ---
    Sasuke is the same kind
    as Orochimaru.
[17:04] ---
    If you’re thinking about bringing him back,
    just forget it.
[17:08] ---
    That’s something an arrogant fool
    would do!
[17:12] ---
    He may be nothing to you
    but he’s my friend!
[17:17] ---
    Would a friend hurt his comrade?!
[17:20] ---
    Take a look at your current plight!
[17:24] ---
    This is…!
[17:32] ---
    Why? Why would you…?
[17:36] ---
    We were called Sannin together…
[17:38] ---
    Weren’t we comrades
    since we were kids?!
[17:43] ---
    In every regard,
    you’re a foolish guy, Jiraiya…
[17:47] ---
    You lack thought
    in everything you do.
[17:50] ---
    That’s why you didn’t notice
    what I was doing.
[17:55] ---
    Can’t you rethink it, Orochimaru?
[18:00] ---
    Absurd!
[18:02] ---
    How can you be so stupid?!
[18:06] ---
    No matter how much I wanted it…
[18:09] ---
    in the end, there was no way
    he would come back.
[18:12] ---
    After the agony, all that’s left was
    my own powerlessness and regret.
[18:17] ---
    I don’t want you to go through
    the same thing…
[18:27] ---
    If you’re going to go after Sasuke,
    then there’ll be no training.
[18:30] ---
    I’ll get Anbu Black Ops to watch you
[18:32] ---
    and depending on the case,
    prohibit you from leaving the village.
[18:38] ---
    You’re not just an ordinary kid…
[18:40] ---
    You possess the Nine Tail Fox
    that the Akatsuki is after!
[18:43] ---
    This is serious.
    I'll just have to do that…
[18:46] ---
    if you’re going to act on your own
    without listening to what I say.
[18:52] ---
    Eventually, you’re going to have to deal
[18:55] ---
    with guys more troublesome
    than Orochimaru.
[18:59] ---
    Give up on Sasuke.
[19:03] ---
    Sooner or later this was
    going to happen.
[19:05] ---
    Don’t suffer anymore!
    Forget and dismiss him.
[19:10] ---
    It’s not just Jutsu or power…
[19:12] ---
    If you’re a Shinobi, develop eyes that
    can make the right judgment.
[19:16] ---
    And if you’re going to live
    as a Shinobi, become wise.
[19:20] ---
    If you remain a fool…
[19:21] ---
    the reality is that it will be tough
    living in this world.
[19:26] ---
    Fine.
[19:30] ---
    If that’s what being wise is…
[19:33] ---
    Then I’m fine being a fool for life!
[19:37] ---
    Even if by myself,
[19:38] ---
    I’ll create even more awesome Jutsu
    and save Sasuke no matter what!
[19:42] ---
    And, and,
    I’ll even kick the Akatsuki’s butt!
[20:01] ---
    If someone like you
    were to do it alone…
[20:05] ---
    the best you’d be able
    to come up with
[20:07] ---
    would be some
    stupid erotic Jutsu, anyway.
[20:16] ---
    It might somehow work out
[20:17] ---
    if you are a big fool and
    not an ordinary fool…
[20:21] ---
    Be prepared once
    you’re out of the hospital,
[20:24] ---
    you big fool.
[20:27] ---
    See you then.
[20:29] ---
    Roger!
[20:38] ---
    – It’s been seven years since…
    – …all the members gathered like this.
[20:42] ---
    Since Orochimaru left
    the organization.
[20:45] ---
    That Orochimaru has gotten
    the Sharingan.
[20:49] ---
    Itachi…Your little brother?
[20:54] ---
    Don’t get hasty. Yeah.
[20:56] ---
    We’ll kill Orochimaru eventually…
[21:00] ---
    More importantly,
    there are only three years left.
[21:03] ---
    Can everyone accomplish
    the work required of them?
[21:05] ---
    Huh?
[21:07] ---
    Yes, our goal is…
[21:10] ---
    to get everything,
    including the Nine Tail Fox in question!
[21:24] ---
    When I recalled the parts one by one,
[21:29] ---
    I felt as though
    I had understood everything
[21:35] ---
    Faded words which I kept so close to me
[21:46] ---
    Speechless nights, a hint of warmth,
[21:57] ---
    and this distant yearning for you
[22:02] ---
    I live, simply repeating this cycle
[22:13] ---
    Held in my two hands
    A droplet of time
[22:24] ---
    Softly clutching forgotten memories
    Lost words
[22:42] ---
    I’ll keep these thoughts…
[22:50] ---
    Sakura’s been weird all along
    ever since Sasuke left.
[22:55] ---
    I can’t put it well,
[22:56] ---
    but she’s gloomy or fretting
    or something.
[23:00] ---
    On top of that she says,
    “This time I’ll do my best on my own.”
[23:03] ---
    What the heck does that mean?
[23:06] ---
    It’s bugging me, it’s bugging me!
[23:08] ---
    This isn’t the time for me
    to be relaxing in the hospital!
[23:12] ---
