[00:15] ---
    I want to try and gather
    the unrestrained winds
[00:21] ---
    I’ll run toward the horizon,
    alongside the wave crests
[00:26] ---
    I’ve made my decision,
[00:28] ---
    even if there’s a long way to go
    on that road.
[00:31] ---
    I’ll continue towards the future I’ve planned
[00:36] ---
    Time rushes us
    The heartbeat speeds up
[00:46] ---
    When I woke in the middle of a dream
    I kept searching for that same light
[00:56] ---
    Under the shining star-lit sky with
    countless constellations and shadows
[01:06] ---
    There was something beyond that…
    What were you gazing at?
[01:16] ---
    What were you gazing at?
[02:10] ---
    What is it?
[02:36] ---
    Who are you?!
[02:52] ---
    It was you…?
    You killed him, didn’t you?
[02:58] ---
    N-No… I don’t know anything…!
[03:16] ---
    The Cursed Warrior…?
[03:20] ---
    The Cursed Warrior
[03:31] ---
    Old man’s…snot!
[03:38] ---
    I just can’t get myself into
    training doing it alone…
[03:44] ---
    I wonder if we won’t get a mission
    connected to Sasuke or something.
[03:56] ---
    The Land of Birds?
    From such a remote land…
[04:00] ---
    That’s what’s troubling us.
[04:03] ---
    The “Cursed Warrior” apparition has been
    disturbing the castle town
[04:07] ---
    and misleading the public, huh?
[04:10] ---
    So they want us to exterminate a ghost?
[04:12] ---
    I declined once saying
    we can’t go so far
[04:16] ---
    as to accept the extermination
    of a ghost, but…
[04:27] ---
    I must have you accept this at any cost.
    Please accept!
[04:38] ---
    Is it because the money isn’t enough?
[04:41] ---
    We in the Land of Birds are
    experiencing financial difficulties.
[04:44] ---
    Even this is the very limit
    the budget will allow…
[04:47] ---
    It’s not an issue of money.
[04:49] ---
    In other words,
    it’s the mission details.
[04:52] ---
    Be that as it may,
[04:53] ---
    indeed there isn’t even enough to
    cover travel expenses with this amount…
[04:57] ---
    Now that things have come
    to this pass…
[04:59] ---
    I shall commit harakiri…!
[05:02] ---
    Don’t be hasty!
[05:04] ---
    Yikes!
[05:15] ---
    It’s the little bit of pocket money
    I have saved up.
[05:18] ---
    I’ll pay out of my own pocket.
    So with this, please…!
[05:31] ---
    And that’s why you accepted it?
[05:33] ---
    It’s indulgent even for me…
[05:35] ---
    Nonetheless, most of the
    Jonin and Chunin are out on missions.
[05:40] ---
    I was thinking of how to handle this…
[05:46] ---
    I guess someone’s talking about you.
[05:48] ---
    Everyone’s busy with missions,
    so they don’t have time for such things.
[06:04] ---
    Who’s that guy…?
[06:05] ---
    He’s been like that since earlier.
[06:17] ---
    Even tasty ramen won’t go down the throat
    right being watched like that!
[06:21] ---
    Come inside and eat if you’re hungry!
[06:23] ---
    No, I’m not hungry…
[06:40] ---
    So? Tasty, huh?
[06:44] ---
    Yes!
[06:46] ---
    Thanks for your business.
[06:47] ---
    Come back and have Naruto
    treat you again…
[06:50] ---
    Again and again like that?
    Give me a break.
[06:53] ---
    Thank you for treating me.
    ln appreciation…
[06:57] ---
    N-No, you don’t need to worry about it…
[07:00] ---
    But hey, what’s your name?
[07:03] ---
    You’re not a familiar face
    from this village…
[07:06] ---
    Yes, my name is Chishima and
    I have come from the Land of Birds.
[07:10] ---
    I came to the Village Hidden in
    the Leaves to commission a mission…
[07:13] ---
    You’re flat broke even though
    you came as a messenger of your land?
[07:17] ---
    There wasn’t enough money
    for the commission,
[07:18] ---
    so I even used up
    my own pocket money…
[07:20] ---
    Then it must be
    a very important mission, huh?
[07:25] ---
    It might even cost an important friend
    of mine’s very life…
[07:29] ---
    Your friend…?
    What the heck do you mean?
[07:35] ---
    Ever since I was little,
[07:37] ---
    I was raised like a brother with Lord Sagi,
    the feudal lord of the Land of Birds…
[07:41] ---
    You’re friends with a feudal lord?!
[07:44] ---
    I said feudal lord,
[07:46] ---
    but he was only just appointed last year
    and actually he’s the same age as me.
[07:51] ---
    No kidding?
    Then he’s a totally young feudal lord.
[07:55] ---
    Y-Yes… The previous feudal lord,
    his father Lord Owashi died from illness
[08:01] ---
    and after that he even lost his twin sister…
[08:06] ---
    Ever since then,
[08:07] ---
    Lord Sagi, who was so cheerful,
    has become a totally different person…
[08:11] ---
    He wouldn’t show his face
    even if I visited…
[08:18] ---
    I’m worried about him as
    a friend rather than a feudal lord.
[08:23] ---
    I was thinking something might
    have happened to him…
[08:27] ---
    So if there is something
    I can do,
[08:29] ---
    I want to do whatever I can,
    as a friend…
[08:33] ---
    I couldn’t…save Sasuke.
    But this guy’s still…
[08:40] ---
    Leave it to me.
[08:42] ---
    What?
[08:43] ---
    Let’s save your friend!
[08:47] ---
    Right!
[08:54] ---
    Old Lady Tsunade! You’re mean!
[08:58] ---
    Listen, you could at least knock
    when entering my office.
[09:02] ---
    More importantly! What do you mean
    by fleecing bro of his pocket money
[09:07] ---
    and then not accepting the mission?!
[09:09] ---
    Huh?
[09:11] ---
    People call stuff like that devilish!
    You old lady devil!
[09:17] ---
    Try saying that again!
[09:20] ---
    I’m sorry!
[09:25] ---
    I wonder if Naruto…is okay…
[09:29] ---
    He’ll be fine.
[09:32] ---
    You’ve gotten to know a good guy…
[09:34] ---
    He may not look it,
    but he’s quite dependable.
[09:37] ---
    What?!
[09:40] ---
    R-Right…
[09:42] ---
    Who said I wouldn’t accept the mission?
[09:45] ---
    Oh, I see. So you were waiting for Neji
    to finish his mission and come back.
[09:50] ---
    Half-cocked jerk.
[09:54] ---
    Lee is on a mission with Guy.
[09:57] ---
    You and Tenten will form a three-man team
    with Neji as the leader, got it?
[10:04] ---
    Then did you hear from that kid
    about the mission details?
[10:07] ---
    Well actually, not yet…
[10:13] ---
    It’s the extermination of a ghost.
[10:16] ---
    A ghost?
[10:17] ---
    It seems that it appears when
    you’re walking through town at night…
[10:21] ---
    A ghost clad in white armor.
[10:26] ---
    That’s what you’ll…
[10:30] ---
    I-I didn’t hear anything about a ghost…
[10:35] ---
    Are you scared of it?
[10:37] ---
    I’m not scared. I couldn’t be a Ninja
    if I got scared at stuff like that!
[10:45] ---
    But does Ninjutsu work on ghosts?
[10:48] ---
    Who knows…?
[10:51] ---
    Try testing it out yourself.
[11:07] ---
    Jeez, why didn’t you say at the start
[11:09] ---
    that it was a commission
    to exterminate a ghost?!
[11:12] ---
    I didn’t tell you?
[11:14] ---
    Not even a word.
    But that’s just a rumor anyway, right?
[11:20] ---
    I haven’t seen it, but…
[11:22] ---
    See?
[11:24] ---
    But it seems my master,
    Lord Moso, saw it close up.
[11:29] ---
    F-For real?!
[11:31] ---
    The Land of Birds, huh…?
    That’s sure far…
[11:40] ---
    Village Hidden in the Leaves
[11:44] ---
    Land of Birds
[12:31] ---
    Umm, is there more…?
[12:34] ---
    You sure eat a lot considering
    you’re thin.
[12:37] ---
    I’m sorry. I’m often called
    a skinny voracious eater.
[12:42] ---
    Hey, by the way, is there really such
    a thing as the Cursed Warrior?
[12:48] ---
    There are people who say
[12:49] ---
    it’s the disembodied spirit of
    the previous feudal lord, Lord Owashi.
[12:52] ---
    The disembodied spirit of
    a dead feudal lord…
[12:57] ---
    Rather than ghosts,
[12:58] ---
    tell us a little more about
    the Land of Birds.
[13:02] ---
    Sure…
[13:03] ---
    The capitol of the Land of Birds
    stretches across the banks of the lake
[13:07] ---
    where migratory birds rest…
[13:10] ---
    It was a peaceful town with
    lots of green
[13:12] ---
    and where water from the lake would
    be drawn into the canals…
[13:16] ---
    However, after the sudden death of
    the previous feudal lord,
[13:20] ---
    there was much uproar.
[13:22] ---
    His son Lord Sagi and Lord Komei,
    the tactician from previously,
[13:26] ---
    were nominated to be
    the next feudal lord…
[13:30] ---
    But Lord Komei thought Lord Sagi
    was still too young
[13:33] ---
    and was vehemently opposed
    to him assuming the feudal lordship.
[13:37] ---
    But in the end, Lord Sagi
    took the seat of feudal lord
[13:40] ---
    and the matter was closed
    with Moso the high priest
[13:42] ---
    providing tutelage as
    a superintendent official…
[13:50] ---
    However, before even half
    a year passed,
[13:53] ---
    Lady Toki, his twin sister,
    died suddenly…
[14:05] ---
    After that, Lord Sagi
    who was so cheerful
[14:08] ---
    turned into a totally different person,
    became coldhearted
[14:10] ---
    and he now conducts governmental
    matters confined in his mansion…
[14:16] ---
    From about that time,
[14:17] ---
    the “Cursed Warrior” began appearing
    in the castle town…
[14:22] ---
    Those in the castle town say
    that Lord Owashi was killed by someone…
[14:28] ---
    There are even those who say
    that the Cursed Warrior
[14:30] ---
    is the ghost of Lord Owashi
    searching for the person
[14:32] ---
    who drove him to death and is attempting
    to have his revenge…
[14:37] ---
    That’s scary…
[14:40] ---
    There’s no such thing as ghosts.
[14:43] ---
    But…
[14:44] ---
    That priest Moso is the one
[14:47] ---
    who gained the most
    from Owashi’s death, huh…?
[14:49] ---
    Lord Moso is a magnificent person
    of virtue with no self-interests!
[14:53] ---
    Then the suspicious one is…
[14:55] ---
    The only one left is Komei the tactician!
[14:58] ---
    I bet he assassinated Owashi
[15:00] ---
    in an attempt to become
    the feudal lord, but failed!
[15:04] ---
    He has complained whenever
    opportunity offered itself,
[15:07] ---
    after Lord Sagi became
    the feudal lord as well!
[15:09] ---
    A tactic like tormenting Lord Sagi
    by starting the rumor
[15:11] ---
    about the Cursed Warrior might be
    a piece of cake for Lord Komei…!
[15:16] ---
    All right! There’s no doubt.
[15:18] ---
    It’s settled. The true identity of
    the Cursed Warrior is Komei!
[15:23] ---
    The true identity of the ghost
    is revealed, huh…?
[15:45] ---
    Lord Komei, there was nothing unusual
    on the scheduled patrol.
[15:54] ---
    You may step down…
[15:55] ---
    Yes, sire.
[16:54] ---
    Aren’t we at our destination yet?!
[16:56] ---
    Just a little further until
    Lord Moso’s residence.
[17:05] ---
    Where is he?! This way?
[17:07] ---
    Where did he go?!
[17:09] ---
    Th-There he is!
[17:12] ---
    Get him! Drag him down!
[17:20] ---
    Cursed Warrior!
[17:25] ---
    He vanished.
[17:27] ---
    Lord Komei! Are you all right?!
[17:32] ---
    I’m fine. Don’t panic!
[17:39] ---
    What’s that?!
[17:49] ---
    It’s flying?!
[17:54] ---
    Clad in white armor,
    possesses a halberd,
[17:57] ---
    and wears a mask with
    a frightening look…
[18:00] ---
    There’s no doubt…
    lt’s the Cursed Warrior!
[18:04] ---
    After him!
[18:06] ---
    Are you going to ride on
    my shoulders forever?
[18:09] ---
    Wait here! I’ll pin down
    the true identity of the ghost!
[18:13] ---
    Huh? R-Right…
[18:31] ---
    Where’d he go?!
[18:32] ---
    Over there!
[18:51] ---
    Byakugan!
[19:02] ---
    I can’t see him…
[19:04] ---
    What does that mean?!
[19:06] ---
    There’s no human presence in here…
[19:10] ---
    At least, a living presence…
[19:13] ---
    Wh-Why do you put it that way…?
[19:17] ---
    Shh! Didn’t you hear
    something just now?
[19:28] ---
    I thought you didn’t feel
    a human presence!
[19:33] ---
    I told you…living presence.
[19:42] ---
    Wh-What do you want?!
[19:45] ---
    Damn it, damn it.
[19:48] ---
    You little!
[19:53] ---
    Chain Weight!
[20:08] ---
    Th-There can’t be something like ghosts.
    No such things as ghosts!
[20:12] ---
    Stop, Naruto! He’s…!
[20:16] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[20:24] ---
    U!
[20:25] ---
    Zu!
[20:25] ---
    Ma!
[20:26] ---
    Ki!
[20:30] ---
    Naruto Barrage!
[20:47] ---
    Yes! Now I’ll verify the true identity!
[20:55] ---
    This is…
[21:00] ---
    The insides are empty.
[21:04] ---
    That means…
[21:09] ---
    it’s a real ghost!
[21:29] ---
    So many things happen
    on this endless road, huh?
[21:41] ---
    Although you’re strong-willed,
    your voice wavered on the phone today
[21:53] ---
    What dreams did you chase to get here?
[22:04] ---
    Even I have times when
    I just don’t understand, baby
[22:16] ---
    When you’re sad, I’ll be close to you
[22:27] ---
    Even on nights when we’re apart,
    I’ll be close to you
[22:39] ---
    I’ll be close to you
[22:50] ---
    So that’s Sagi,
    the feudal lord of this land, huh?
[22:53] ---
    He’s far away,
    but he might be quite cool.
[22:56] ---
    Shh, be quiet!
[22:57] ---
    What is it, Neji?
[22:59] ---
    Something’s strange.
    What’s with this blood thirst?
[23:02] ---
    What? Bloodthirsty?
    Could it be assassins?
[23:05] ---
    They might be Shinobi.
    ls everyone ready?!
[23:09] ---
    – Yeah. – Yeah.
[23:10] ---
    I’ll protect the feudal lord!
[23:13] ---
    Next: “The Tactician’s Intent.”
