[00:16] ---
    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,
[00:29] ---
    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?
[01:46] ---
    I’m exhausted!
[01:48] ---
    Important solo mission, my butt!
[01:51] ---
    They just didn’t have enough manpower
    for the castle restoration.
[01:55] ---
    That’s not the job of a Shinobi.
[01:58] ---
    Ow-ow… I won’t hold up if
    I don’t rest somewhere.
[02:06] ---
    Oh!
[02:08] ---
    I’ll take a bath.
    Here I go!
[02:11] ---
    Hey…
    I’m sounding like an old man.
[02:16] ---
    Wh-What?!
[02:28] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[02:48] ---
    Thank you.
[02:53] ---
    Who the heck are you, mister?
[02:55] ---
    I’m a Delivery Ninja!
[02:57] ---
    Please, Mr. Postman!
[03:04] ---
    23, 24, 25…
[03:06] ---
    26…
[03:08] ---
    No mistake…
[03:10] ---
    Thanks to you Mister Naruto,
    all of the postal articles are safe.
[03:14] ---
    By the way, what’s a Delivery Ninja?
[03:18] ---
    We are postal professionals
    who risk our lives
[03:21] ---
    to deliver the important parcels
    our customers have left with us.
[03:24] ---
    In other words, you’re a postman.
[03:26] ---
    I am a Delivery Ninja!
[03:27] ---
    Ordinary postmen don’t risk their lives.
[03:30] ---
    So you’re an awesome postman, huh?
[03:33] ---
    That’s right.
[03:35] ---
    Oops, I must not keep
    my customers waiting.
[03:39] ---
    Then, I’ll be on my way…
[03:42] ---
    Mister! What’s your name?!
[03:44] ---
    I’m 596-03.
[03:47] ---
    A zip code…?!
[03:56] ---
    Anywhere would be fine
    if I can get in a hot spring…
[04:01] ---
    Cripes…
    Here it’s still day time and…
[04:04] ---
    That voice…
[04:07] ---
    My, you’re a strange one, Jira-chan.
[04:11] ---
    Am I?
[04:12] ---
    Ah, Pervy Sage!
[04:14] ---
    What?! Who’s a Pervy Sage…?!
[04:22] ---
    What’s the meaning of this,
    Pervy Sage?!
[04:25] ---
    Hadn’t you left the village
    on an important mission?
[04:28] ---
    That’s why I was being patient
    about you training with me!
[04:32] ---
    If you’ve got the free time to be
    doing something like this,
[04:34] ---
    help out with my training right now!
[04:36] ---
    W-Wait, Naruto.
    There’s a reason for this…
[04:39] ---
    You probably have some glib lies
    about gathering information or something.
[04:42] ---
    You’re wrong, you’re wrong.
    lt’s data collection, data collection…
[04:45] ---
    You see…
[04:48] ---
    It’s my final spurt
[04:49] ---
    for the manuscript of the final volume
    of “Make-Out Violence.”
[04:51] ---
    What about the mission…?
[04:54] ---
    Well, you see, I’m on a mission.
[04:58] ---
    So don’t worry…
[04:59] ---
    What kind of mission?
[05:04] ---
    As it happens, I received information
    that a member of the Akatsuki Organization
[05:07] ---
    will be visiting this town
    the day after tomorrow.
[05:11] ---
    The Akatsuki Organization!
    Then, that Itachi will be…?
[05:15] ---
    I don’t know that.
    And the same goes for their purpose…
[05:19] ---
    But that’s a matter until
    the day after tomorrow.
[05:22] ---
    And so, I’m making effective use
    of the free time!
[05:26] ---
    Then it’s perfect.
    Give me some training!
[05:30] ---
    Well… you see, they’re so insistent
    about the manuscript.
[05:34] ---
    I ended up promising the publisher
    that I’d send it today or tomorrow.
[05:40] ---
    Come on! It’s a long-awaited chance
    for training.
[05:44] ---
    If my manuscript were
    to be completed early,
[05:46] ---
    I might be able to take
    some time for training.
[05:57] ---
    Oh, my shoulders are stiff!
[05:59] ---
    There, there.
[06:02] ---
    Oh, I’m thirsty!
[06:06] ---
    Here you go.
[06:10] ---
    Hot!
[06:12] ---
    Hey, the ideas I just about had
    have blown away!
[06:15] ---
    Enough!
[06:17] ---
    I’m taking a bath!
[06:21] ---
    What a hard Sensei to please…
[06:27] ---
    I bet he’s going to say
    this is data collection, anyway.
[06:31] ---
    We must deliver that secret document
[06:33] ---
    to the feudal lord of the Land of Fangs,
    no matter what the cost…
[06:35] ---
    It seems this is where
    the Delivery Ninjas always stay.
[06:38] ---
    Oh, they could…
[06:41] ---
    Delivery Ninja?
[06:43] ---
    I can see them now.
[06:46] ---
    This is all I need for
    my writing desire to well up…
[06:54] ---
    I’m not getting…inspired with this…
[06:57] ---
    Imagining with your head
    is a writer’s job, isn’t it?
[07:00] ---
    I’m a writer rooted in realism!
    Getting a picture is important.
[07:05] ---
    So I wonder if you’d do that for me.
[07:07] ---
    Can you write if I do that?
[07:09] ---
    I’ll write, I’ll write!
[07:11] ---
    Sexy Jutsu:
    Steam Bath Harem Version!
[07:20] ---
    – Master Jiraiya. Jiraiya!
    – This is great!
[07:24] ---
    Won-der-ful!
[07:36] ---
    What a hopeless guy!
[07:41] ---
    He hasn’t been able to write at all!
[08:01] ---
    Address, check!
    Zip code, check--!
[08:10] ---
    Ow-ow-ow…
[08:12] ---
    Oh, the sealed documents…
[08:19] ---
    Please take extra care with this.
[08:21] ---
    I will take it for you.
[08:24] ---
    Ow-ow-ow…
[08:29] ---
    Excuse me, can I also ask you
    to take this for me?
[08:31] ---
    Oh! Mister Naruto.
    Thank you for helping me out yesterday.
[08:35] ---
    Oh! Mister!
[08:39] ---
    I am 596-03.
[08:43] ---
    It’s hard to remember!
[08:46] ---
    More importantly, I want to ask you
    to take care of this!
[08:50] ---
    Hmm…This goes in a different direction…
[08:52] ---
    Have a heart. Please.
[08:55] ---
    Oh, perfect timing.
[08:57] ---
    Huh?! Is this a Shadow Clone?
[09:00] ---
    He is 463-72.
[09:03] ---
    This area should be in your jurisdiction.
[09:07] ---
    It is.
[09:09] ---
    Then I leave it to you…
    What was it again?
[09:14] ---
    I am 463-72.
[09:16] ---
    Hurry, okay?
[09:21] ---
    Wake up…
[09:23] ---
    Whoa! I fell asleep!
[09:25] ---
    Pervy Sage, let’s start training!
[09:28] ---
    What’re you talking about?
    I must complete the manuscript…
[09:34] ---
    You don’t need to worry
    about that.
[09:36] ---
    I wrote the manuscript and
    sent it to the publisher!
[09:40] ---
    So now you can devote
    yourself freely to training…
[09:44] ---
    Right, Pervy Sage?
[09:45] ---
    You idiot!
[09:46] ---
    Huh?
[09:47] ---
    If something like this were read,
    it’ll be the end of my writing career!
[09:51] ---
    Ah… Oh… I’m sorry.
[09:54] ---
    You said you sent it to
    the publisher, right? How?
[09:57] ---
    I gave it to a Delivery Ninja
    in the inn…
[10:00] ---
    D-Delivery Ninjas.
[10:03] ---
    You mean, the one that delivers any
    parcel to the addressee, no matter what…
[10:08] ---
    not influenced by any land or institution…
    that iron organization?!
[10:14] ---
    After him, Naruto.
[10:15] ---
    We’ll chase down the Delivery Ninja,
    no matter what…
[10:17] ---
    and retrieve your manuscript
    at any cost!
[10:33] ---
    If he’s going to the publisher,
    he should definitely take this path.
[10:37] ---
    Now what’s left is how to
    close the time gap…
[10:39] ---
    I hear the leg power of Delivery Ninjas
    is extraordinary, though…
[10:43] ---
    Pervy Sage!
[10:45] ---
    Slow down the pace a little, man.
[10:48] ---
    Naruto! This is also training!
[10:51] ---
    To be straight, you’re short on leg power!
[10:54] ---
    A Ninja must apply oneself,
[10:56] ---
    connecting this with training,
    no matter what the situation!
[10:59] ---
    Excellent, Pervy Sage.
    Now you’re talking!
[11:08] ---
    It’s just like a maze!
[11:11] ---
    We’re totally lost…
[11:13] ---
    If we had Hinata’s or Neji’s Byakugan
    at a time like this…
[11:16] ---
    Byakugan! I didn’t think of that!
[11:21] ---
    That’s the Rasengan, isn’t it?!
[11:38] ---
    I’m sorry!
[11:41] ---
    Uh, no, you see…!
[11:43] ---
    This isn’t the time to be drooling!
[11:46] ---
    There he is!
[11:48] ---
    After him, Naruto.
[11:49] ---
    R-Right!
[11:57] ---
    Thieves!
[11:58] ---
    Hey, wait!
[12:00] ---
    There’s no fool who’d wait
    after being told to wait!
[12:03] ---
    As it happens,
[12:04] ---
    the parcel this person here
    left with you this morning is a slip-up!
[12:07] ---
    That’s right!
[12:09] ---
    I have no knowledge of that.
[12:11] ---
    The rule for us Delivery Ninjas
[12:13] ---
    is to deliver parcels once left
    with us to the destination,
[12:15] ---
    even if we have to risk our lives!
[12:17] ---
    My life as a writer is also at risk!
[12:19] ---
    Don’t look at me.
[12:20] ---
    This is trouble!
[12:22] ---
    Sorry.
[12:33] ---
    To do that to someone
    who’s doing honest work…
[12:35] ---
    Shut up! When you get right down to it,
    it was you who…
[12:39] ---
    Huh?! What’s this?!
[12:41] ---
    This isn’t the thing you wrote!
[12:44] ---
    Oh!
[12:46] ---
    That time! It got switched with
    my manuscript!
[12:50] ---
    Say what?!
[12:52] ---
    This is…a secret document directed
[12:54] ---
    to the feudal lord of the Land of Fangs
    from the Land of Claws…
[12:57] ---
    Let me see…
    According to the information I’ve gotten,
[13:00] ---
    the Fang and the Claw could go
    to war at any moment…
[13:05] ---
    This is a secret document for peace!
[13:08] ---
    They’ve decided on peace?!
    lt’s written here.
[13:12] ---
    That’s a good thing, isn’t it?!
    War is no good!
[13:15] ---
    You! You idiot! The fact that
    this secret document is here means
[13:19] ---
    the manuscript you wrote is being taken
    to the Land of Fangs!
[13:25] ---
    What’ll happen if they read it as
    a secret document
[13:27] ---
    from the Land of Claws?
[13:28] ---
    This is bad! No doubt, war will begin!
[13:32] ---
    We’re going to the Land of Fangs!
[13:34] ---
    R-Right!
[13:35] ---
    This time for sure we’ll take back
    the manuscript!
[13:44] ---
    Postal thieves…
    my customer’s important parcel…!
[13:56] ---
    This is bad!
[13:59] ---
    This is 463-72. This is 463-72!
[14:04] ---
    A postal robbery has occurred!
[14:06] ---
    The thieves are a pair,
[14:08] ---
    a large man with a perverted look
    and a kid!
[14:10] ---
    "They appear to be after 596-03’s parcel."
[14:16] ---
    "Members in the area are assigned
    to protect 596-03!"
[14:21] ---
    "Stop the thieves in the name
    of the Delivery Ninja!"
[14:31] ---
    The only way to get to the Land of Fangs
    is to go up this river.
[14:34] ---
    More than likely they will also go
    by boat.
[14:37] ---
    Then depending on our speed,
    there’s a chance we’ll catch up.
[14:40] ---
    I’m the one who’s got it rough.
[14:43] ---
    You don’t have enough physical strength!
[14:45] ---
    Consider this also as training
    and apply yourself!
[14:48] ---
    That again?!
[15:04] ---
    Who’re those guys?!
[15:05] ---
    It appears reinforcements
    have been summoned.
[15:07] ---
    Hurry, Naruto!
[15:24] ---
    Naruto! Switch places!
[15:36] ---
    Rasengan!
[15:40] ---
    Rasengan!
[15:42] ---
    Somehow…the Rasengan looks like
    a really cheap Jutsu…
[15:46] ---
    It’s for the sake of preventing a war!
[15:48] ---
    Our mission of peace is at stake!
[15:52] ---
    – Right! – Switch.
[15:54] ---
    Huh?
[15:57] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[16:02] ---
    Rasengan!
[16:05] ---
    Rasengan!
[16:08] ---
    Rasengan!
[16:11] ---
    That’s it!
[16:13] ---
    Hey, wait! It’s a slip-up!
    This is the real one!
[16:16] ---
    They got switched during the commission!
[16:21] ---
    Delivery Ninja old man,
    it’s the truth!
[16:24] ---
    I’m sorry.
[16:25] ---
    According to our rule,
    we are never to look inside
[16:28] ---
    a customer’s parcel we have taken on,
    no matter what.
[16:32] ---
    If that passes over to the Land of Fangs,
[16:34] ---
    there will be war!
[16:35] ---
    Even if that were the case,
    I must not break the rule.
[16:40] ---
    You’re impossible!
[16:42] ---
    It’s the Land of Fangs!
[16:49] ---
    All we do is carry out our duties!
[16:53] ---
    Then…we’ll take it away
    by force if we have to.
[17:00] ---
    – Postal delivery!
    – Postal delivery!
[17:02] ---
    Naruto! Do you know which one it is?!
[17:04] ---
    No, I don’t!
[17:07] ---
    I am 596-03.
[17:10] ---
    I know! It’s 596-03!
[17:15] ---
    Where is he?!
[17:20] ---
    Up there!
[17:24] ---
    Naruto, you hold back the front!
    I’ll rout the rest!
[17:28] ---
    Got it!
[17:38] ---
    I won’t let you go past here!
[17:44] ---
    In the name of the Delivery Ninja,
[17:46] ---
    I will not let anyone interfere!
[17:49] ---
    You’re an impressive old man…
[17:51] ---
    I too, in the name of the Leaf Ninja,
[17:54] ---
    will take away the manuscript
    with a Jutsu!
[17:57] ---
    Let’s go!
[17:58] ---
    Harem Jutsu! Riverside Mad Dance!
[18:04] ---
    Mis-ter De-li-very Nin-ja.
[18:20] ---
    No, no! This isn’t the time to be
    doing something like this.
[18:24] ---
    Now, to get cracking with my delivery.
[18:33] ---
    Deliver…
[18:36] ---
    I will deliver.
[18:38] ---
    Hey, where are you going?
    Play with me.
[18:44] ---
    No, no! Not that way.
[18:49] ---
    I’ll do my best!
[18:51] ---
    Guys! Give me a hand!
[18:53] ---
    – Right! Yeah. – Okay!
[19:14] ---
    P-P-Postal delivery.
[19:17] ---
    Okay, good work.
[19:31] ---
    This guy’s iron will is the real deal…
[19:41] ---
    We’re too late, huh…?
[19:43] ---
    Is war going to start?!
[19:52] ---
    Th-This is--!
[19:54] ---
    It’s a manuscript of the latest issue
    of the Make-Out series!
[20:00] ---
    That Land of Claws feudal lord…!
[20:02] ---
    To think he’d know I was a big fan
    of the Make-Out series!
[20:07] ---
    Everyone!
[20:09] ---
    Stop the fighting!
[20:10] ---
    Send a messenger to
    the Land of Claws!
[20:15] ---
    Don’t let anybody in…
[20:18] ---
    I kind of don’t really get it, but…
    with this, there’ll be no war?
[20:22] ---
    No war is fine…
[20:24] ---
    But does this mean my writing power
    is the same as Naruto’s scribbling…?!
[20:36] ---
    Now then!
[20:37] ---
    Today’s the day the Akatsuki Organization
    guy comes!
[20:41] ---
    We’ll capture him no matter what
    and get information about Sasuke…
[20:44] ---
    Pervy Sage?
[20:49] ---
    Sorry, Naruto. There was a development
    while you were sleeping.
[20:53] ---
    I will pursue
    the Akatsuki Organization as is.
[21:00] ---
    I’ve been had!
[21:09] ---
    Well… I suppose it made for
    some good training…
[21:31] ---
    The wind blows, Ah…
[21:34] ---
    The pain,
    The memories won’t disappear
[21:38] ---
    What should be brought along?
[21:41] ---
    Assemble them into a piece.
[21:44] ---
    There is no second chance, never
[21:47] ---
    How foolish it is to throw away
[21:51] ---
    Acting so innocently, Ah…
[21:54] ---
    The images.
[21:58] ---
    It probably will not end
[22:05] ---
    It probably will not end
[22:10] ---
    Burn that love-filled heart,
[22:13] ---
    Sail across a thousand dreams
[22:17] ---
    Running freely
[22:19] ---
    To take hold of the world in hand
[22:23] ---
    The clouds scatter
[22:26] ---
    The sun sets yet again
[22:29] ---
    The solo parade begins to move.
[22:36] ---
    Adventure, Lucky Day, Heart Beat, Rising,
[22:39] ---
    Decisive, Encounter, Life, Mutual Love
[22:51] ---
    All right, everyone, follow me.
[22:53] ---
    Wait.
[22:53] ---
    We’re heading for
    the Village Hidden in Stars
[22:55] ---
    on a mission to protect
    a mysterious star.
[22:58] ---
    Naruto!
[22:58] ---
    Man, I’m getting fired up.
[23:00] ---
    We all need to work together here.
[23:02] ---
    Now, let’s all unite and show
    the boundless power of the Leaf.
[23:05] ---
    Hey, don’t be following us like
    it’s matter of course, Naruto.
[23:09] ---
    You’re not listed as
    a member for this mission.
[23:12] ---
    Next time:
    “Encounter! The Boy With a Star's Name”
