[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
[01:58] ---
    Huh, it’s Lady Tsunade.
[02:01] ---
    Huh? You guys are…
[02:03] ---
    Hey, are you visiting someone
    at the hospital too?
[02:06] ---
    Yes.
[02:07] ---
    You too, Lady Tsunade?
[02:09] ---
    Well, I guess…
[02:11] ---
    She just doesn’t want to stay
    in the executive office…
[02:13] ---
    Shut up!
[02:15] ---
    Hinata, don’t faint when
    you see Kurenai Sensei.
[02:19] ---
    P-Please let's not talk about that.
[02:22] ---
    Did something happen?
[02:23] ---
    When we were visiting Naruto
    in the hospital in the past…
[02:25] ---
    Shino!
[02:26] ---
    This girl fainted when she saw Naruto
    all covered with bandages.
[02:30] ---
    Kiba!
[02:31] ---
    I’ll…I’ll be fine this time!
[02:34] ---
    I finally found you…!
[02:36] ---
    Old Lady Tsunade, I need
    to talk to you!
[02:45] ---
    Huh? Hinata!
[02:47] ---
    Naruto…
[02:48] ---
    – Naruto is…so close!
    – Hinata? Hinata! What's wrong?
[02:53] ---
    Your face looks a little red…
[02:55] ---
    Do you have a fever or something? Huh?
[02:59] ---
    Hey…
[03:07] ---
    H-Hey, Hinata…?!
[03:09] ---
    Hey Hinata!
[03:11] ---
    Are you okay?!
    Get a hold of yourself!
[03:14] ---
    Hinata!
[03:16] ---
    Naruto…
[03:18] ---
    The Search for
    the Rare Bikochu Beetle
[03:32] ---
    Hey, you woke up.
[03:34] ---
    So Mizuki didn’t know anything,
    you said?
[03:36] ---
    Tsunade interrogated him herself.
[03:40] ---
    He didn’t have any information
[03:42] ---
    that would lead to Orochimaru’s
    current whereabouts…
[03:46] ---
    After all, that guy was nothing but
    a disposable pawn to Orochimaru, huh.
[03:52] ---
    So it seems…
[03:53] ---
    We still don’t know where
    Sasuke went…
[03:56] ---
    And that’s the result after
    a desperate fight with Mizuki…
[04:00] ---
    That can’t sit right with
    Naruto either…huh?
[04:04] ---
    Please Old Lady Tsunade,
    say it’s okay!
[04:07] ---
    When I say no, I mean no!
[04:09] ---
    As a result, Lady Tsunade wasn’t able
    to concentrate on her work.
[04:14] ---
    Naruto’s been breathing down
    her neck the whole time
[04:17] ---
    asking her to let him go off
    in search of Sasuke.
[04:19] ---
    So she sneaked out
    of her office, but…
[04:23] ---
    He was lying in wait for her here.
[04:26] ---
    Naruto…
[04:28] ---
    I’ve asked you numerous times already!
[04:30] ---
    Please let me go in search
    of Sasuke!
[04:33] ---
    I’ve told you numerous times already.
    lmpossible!
[04:36] ---
    Why!
[04:38] ---
    You have some training to do!
[04:41] ---
    I can’t because Pervy Sage
    isn’t around!
[04:44] ---
    We have zero leads on either
    Orochimaru and Sasuke.
[04:48] ---
    So how are you planning
    to search for him?
[04:49] ---
    I can figure it out somehow!
[04:52] ---
    If there aren’t any leads,
    I’ll go find some!
[04:54] ---
    So please let me go do it!
[04:56] ---
    You’re stubborn, aren't you?
[04:58] ---
    You’re stubborn too,
    Old Lady Tsunade!
[05:00] ---
    – Please let me go!
    – No, you may not!
[05:02] ---
    If I say I’m going, I’m going!
[05:03] ---
    Shut up! No means no!
[05:11] ---
    Byakugan!
[05:17] ---
    All right! Good work, Neji!
[05:20] ---
    Move in another half step
    right there!
[05:21] ---
    Yes sir!
[05:34] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[05:41] ---
    Let’s take a break, Neji.
[05:44] ---
    Yes.
[05:49] ---
    Have some tea too.
[05:52] ---
    Thank you…
[05:55] ---
    If Hinata was here,
    she should have observed a little.
[06:01] ---
    Hinata prepared this…?
[06:04] ---
    It would supplement her training
    by observing…
[06:24] ---
    Byakugan!
[06:41] ---
    Let’s take a break.
[06:42] ---
    Yes.
[06:43] ---
    Food! Food!
[06:48] ---
    That was pretty well done.
[06:50] ---
    I would say that you’re getting closer
    to perfecting the technique.
[06:52] ---
    It’s thanks to you both.
[06:54] ---
    You’re so kind to join me
    in my special training every day…
[06:58] ---
    We’re a team.
[06:59] ---
    When a comrade in the team
    is in a fix,
[07:01] ---
    one offers a helping hand.
[07:03] ---
    That’s only natural…
[07:05] ---
    A comrade…
[07:08] ---
    If a comrade suddenly disappears,
[07:13] ---
    it must be awfully hard.
[07:17] ---
    You’re talking about Naruto,
    aren’t you?
[07:22] ---
    Isn't there some way
    we could help him?
[07:25] ---
    I’d like to help him out in
    some way too…but…
[07:31] ---
    Lady Hokage was telling Naruto…
[07:34] ---
    that there are no leads at all.
[07:39] ---
    There may be one resource…
[07:42] ---
    Really?!
[07:45] ---
    I’m talking about Bikochu.
[07:47] ---
    Bikochu?
[07:50] ---
    Are you talking about
    those rare insects…?!
[07:53] ---
    I have heard that they had
    become extinct some time ago.
[07:56] ---
    Since there was a possibility
    that they could become extinct,
[07:58] ---
    the Aburame Clan discontinued
    using them,
[08:02] ---
    so a miniscule number of them
    should still be alive.
[08:06] ---
    Lady Tsunade, what are Bikochu?
[08:09] ---
    Well…it’s not surprising that
    you don’t know about them.
[08:13] ---
    The last time that Bikochu
    were used
[08:15] ---
    was before the last Great War…
[08:19] ---
    Bikochu are one kind of insect
    used by insect handlers.
[08:23] ---
    Larvae which have hatched from eggs
    become chrysalises in no time at all,
[08:26] ---
    then emerge and turn
    into imagos.
[08:29] ---
    They are then made to
    recognize scents…
[08:31] ---
    and they are able to track
    even the faintest scent…
[08:34] ---
    to its source.
[08:37] ---
    Their olfactory sense is several thousand
    times greater than a Ninja Hound's.
[08:40] ---
    They are insects capable of
    exhibiting that skill in an exceptional way.
[08:45] ---
    However, Bikochu lay eggs
    only once every several years…
[08:51] ---
    This year is actually the year
    in which they lay eggs.
[08:54] ---
    And right now is exactly
    the time when they hatch.
[08:57] ---
    I see.
[08:58] ---
    There are still some of
    Sasuke’s belongings left in the village…
[09:01] ---
    Right?
[09:02] ---
    If one makes the Bikochu,
    recognize that scent…
[09:05] ---
    We may be able to locate
    Sasuke’s whereabouts, right?
[09:11] ---
    What is the probability
    of finding a Bikochu?
[09:14] ---
    Frankly speaking, not very high.
    Perhaps 10%.
[09:19] ---
    10% huh…
[09:29] ---
    As you guys know,
[09:31] ---
    the situation in the village
    is currently very grave…
[09:35] ---
    We don’t have the leeway of allowing
    even Genin to sit around and play.
[09:39] ---
    However, fortunately or unfortunately,
    Kurenai has been hospitalized,
[09:43] ---
    so you guys, Squad Eight,
    no longer have a mission.
[09:48] ---
    Rather than just letting
    you sit around and play,
[09:50] ---
    I’d rather place my bet
    on that 10% possibility.
[09:54] ---
    Huh… you mean…
[09:58] ---
    Shino Aburame. Kiba Inuzuka.
    Hinata Hyuga.
[10:01] ---
    I order you to search for
    the Bikochu!
[10:04] ---
    – All right! – All right!
[10:06] ---
    I designate Shino
    as the leader this time.
[10:08] ---
    And…that spy up there!
[10:17] ---
    Oww…!
[10:19] ---
    Naruto…
[10:20] ---
    You’re going to go even if
    I try to stop you, right?
[10:22] ---
    Yup!
[10:24] ---
    In that case, I have no choice
    but to let you go…
[10:27] ---
    However…
[10:29] ---
    This is your last chance.
[10:31] ---
    If you don’t find the Bikochu…
[10:34] ---
    you must give up on Sasuke!
[10:36] ---
    Wha--?
[10:37] ---
    You understand?!
[10:38] ---
    It’ll be fine…
    I’ll find it without fail.
[10:42] ---
    All right. You won’t go back
    on your word, right?
[10:44] ---
    Yeah! Leave it to me!
[10:48] ---
    You’re easily pleased, aren’t you?
[10:50] ---
    Owww!
[10:53] ---
    Naruto…
[11:09] ---
    Sasuke…
[11:17] ---
    Hinata.
[11:20] ---
    Good morning.
[11:23] ---
    Neji will be here soon
    for his training…
[11:25] ---
    Please prepare tea as always.
[11:27] ---
    Well…
[11:28] ---
    Huh? What’s the matter?
[11:30] ---
    I need to go…
    on a mission starting now…
[11:33] ---
    A mission, huh…
[11:34] ---
    In that case, it can’t be helped…
[11:36] ---
    I’m heading out…
[11:39] ---
    Don’t be a burden to the others.
[11:44] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:57] ---
    I’m…I’m sorry! I’m in a hurry…
[12:03] ---
    The way she handled
    her physical response just now…
[12:06] ---
    Hinata…
[12:10] ---
    You’re late, Hinata!
[12:13] ---
    I’m sorry!
[12:16] ---
    All right then! Let’s head out!
[12:19] ---
    Let’s go!
[12:23] ---
    Huh?
[12:24] ---
    Why are you walking at
    such a leisurely pace?!
[12:27] ---
    It takes a Shinobi two days on foot
[12:29] ---
    to get to the habitat of
    the Bikochu …
[12:32] ---
    There’s no need to make haste
    from the very start.
[12:38] ---
    But what if the eggs hatch
    before we get there?
[12:42] ---
    The eggs of Bikochu only hatch
    on the day after it’s rained…
[12:46] ---
    There’s no sign of it
    raining any time soon…
[12:48] ---
    But…if by some remote chance…
[12:50] ---
    Naruto.
[12:51] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[12:52] ---
    I am the leader of this team.
[12:55] ---
    While we are on this mission,
    you will obey the orders of your leader.
[13:04] ---
    Kiba, I can’t believe you’re able
    to work with that kind of guy…
[13:09] ---
    Well, I’ve gotten used to it…
[13:12] ---
    I’m sure you’ll bond with him too, Naruto.
[13:16] ---
    I wonder about that…
[13:25] ---
    Naruto and the others
    left a while ago.
[13:28] ---
    I see.
[13:30] ---
    Didn’t you want to go too?
[13:34] ---
    When it comes to searching
    for insects,
[13:35] ---
    Shino, who’s an insect handler,
    is number one…
[13:38] ---
    And then Hinata who has Byakugan…
[13:40] ---
    and Kiba and Akamaru who have
    sensitive noses are there too…
[13:43] ---
    So there’s really no role that
    I could play!
[13:46] ---
    What I must do right now…
[13:48] ---
    is to become a Medical Ninja
    as soon as I possibly can!
[14:01] ---
    What’s the matter, Shino?!
[14:02] ---
    The sun’s going down.
    We’re setting up camp.
[14:05] ---
    Got it.
[14:06] ---
    – Huh? – Okay.
[14:07] ---
    Huh? What…?!
[14:08] ---
    We’re gonna set up
    camp already?!
[14:11] ---
    I’m not tired at all yet!
    Let’s go further!
[14:16] ---
    Naruto, the leader of
    this team is me.
[14:21] ---
    I-I understand!
[14:25] ---
    Okay then…let’s sleep.
[14:26] ---
    Huh…we’re gonna sleep already?!
[14:29] ---
    Many animals and plants
    go to sleep at sunset
[14:33] ---
    and awake at sunrise.
[14:35] ---
    In order to search for insects,
[14:36] ---
    we must understand the rhythm
    of living creatures with our own bodies…
[14:40] ---
    But…the sun’s just set…
[14:44] ---
    Naruto, I am the leader of this team…
[14:46] ---
    Okay, okay. I got it!
[14:51] ---
    There’s no way
    I can sleep so early…
[14:57] ---
    Yeah, right…
[14:58] ---
    All that complaining and guess
    who's the first one to fall asleep?
[15:32] ---
    I have to pee…
[15:45] ---
    Huh?
[15:46] ---
    Huh?
[15:48] ---
    What’s that?
[15:59] ---
    It’s a waterfall…
[16:02] ---
    Hey… Is somebody there?
[16:27] ---
    S-Say…
[16:32] ---
    Damn it…!
[16:34] ---
    S-Sorry. Did I scare you?
[16:37] ---
    Huh?
[16:41] ---
    There’s nobody there…
[16:51] ---
    Huh, Naruto…
    Did you catch a cold?
[16:53] ---
    Yeah…a little…
[16:58] ---
    After sleeping so much
    you’re still tired?
[17:01] ---
    Well, uh…
[17:02] ---
    When I woke up last night to pee,
    I saw something awesome…
[17:06] ---
    Did you catch a cold too, Hinata?
[17:08] ---
    No, I’m okay…
[17:10] ---
    And…what was that awesome thing?
[17:12] ---
    It was a beautiful woman
    in the middle of the waterfall!
[17:15] ---
    Huh?
[17:17] ---
    When that person moved her arms,
    the water would suddenly move too!
[17:21] ---
    It was awesome!
[17:23] ---
    And what happened then…
[17:24] ---
    When I tried to speak to her,
    she suddenly vanished.
[17:28] ---
    You must have been dreaming
    or something.
[17:33] ---
    It's starting to feel that way…
[17:35] ---
    You idiot!
[17:37] ---
    Your face is red, Hinata.
[17:40] ---
    You might have really
    caught a cold.
[17:42] ---
    Huh…really, I’m fine…
[17:49] ---
    This fruit is edible.
    This will be our meal today.
[17:53] ---
    Got it.
[17:56] ---
    We can save on
    our food supplies too.
[17:59] ---
    There’s one thing
    I need to warn you about.
[18:02] ---
    On rare occasions, this fruit grows
    to the size of a human being.
[18:05] ---
    However, those fruits
    are damaged inside.
[18:07] ---
    Don’t tamper with them
    under any circumstance.
[18:09] ---
    There’s nobody who would
    eat something that huge.
[18:12] ---
    N-Naruto…!
[18:15] ---
    He’s eating it…
[18:25] ---
    Naruto… We’re going on ahead…
[18:27] ---
    I’ll…I’ll be right behind you!
[18:30] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[18:36] ---
    Wait just a second!
[19:04] ---
    Hey…aren’t we there yet?
[19:09] ---
    Yes.
[19:11] ---
    We're here!
[19:12] ---
    What…?
[19:20] ---
    Wow!
[19:23] ---
    I’ve never seen anything
    like this before.
[19:26] ---
    This certainly isn’t a place
    where humans could inhabit.
[19:29] ---
    That’s right…
    That’s why it’s paradise for insects.
[19:33] ---
    D-Don’t tell me…
[19:36] ---
    Could it be that…over there…?
[19:39] ---
    You mean that’s where
    the Bikochu are?
[19:41] ---
    No problem.
    lt’s better than the Chunin Exam.
[19:49] ---
    Damn…The foothold crumbles easily…
[19:53] ---
    – Naruto… – What?
[19:55] ---
    As the leader, I’m warning you…
[19:58] ---
    At a time like this,
    what is it?!
[20:00] ---
    Don’t fall.
[20:01] ---
    I already know that
    without your telling me!
[20:06] ---
    Naruto!
[20:09] ---
    No way…!
[20:16] ---
    That was close…
[20:20] ---
    Those were insects, huh…
[20:22] ---
    That’s why I warned you.
[20:25] ---
    When this mission is over,
[20:26] ---
    I’m definitely gonna kick
    that guy’s butt!
[20:35] ---
    This is…the Bikochu forest.
[20:42] ---
    Let’s go.
[20:54] ---
    There’s no mistake.
    Those are Leaf Shinobi.
[20:58] ---
    The fact that those guys came to
    a place like this
[21:00] ---
    means their objective is…
[21:02] ---
    Yeah…it’s the same as ours…
    the Bikochu.
[21:07] ---
    We’re not gonna let them
    take any Bikochu.
[21:09] ---
    The Bikochu, …
    belong to us, the Kamizuru Clan!
[21:28] ---
    Crappy news pass us by
[21:32] ---
    And you become speechless
[21:37] ---
    My voice is way too soft
[21:42] ---
    So you don’t answer
[21:46] ---
    You’re crying Crying alone
[21:51] ---
    What can I do? I’m crying too
[21:56] ---
    “Let my lonely scream ring out
    through the night”
[21:58] ---
    I’ll thrash this confused era
    with my speed Yeah
[22:07] ---
    And I’ll thrash this confused night
    with my speed Yeah
[22:17] ---
    I’ll thrash them with my piercing guitar
    and my speed Yeah
[22:26] ---
    This sinking world and its evil bastards,
    I’ll kick their butt Yeah
[22:51] ---
    Huh! If you’re talking about
    the insect in this photograph,
[22:53] ---
    I’m very familiar with it.
[22:54] ---
    – Huh? – Really?!
[22:55] ---
    Damn…Don’t tell me
