**[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] ---**
