[00:01] ---
    Rock away your existence,
[00:03] ---
    Shouting that you are here…
[00:06] ---
    A new journey begins now.
[00:22] ---
    As we survived through
    the changing seasons,
[00:28] ---
    we gained knowledge and strength,
    (just looks like a survival game)
[00:34] ---
    But the forgotten memories,
[00:36] ---
    of the feelings abandoned within
    the flows of time,
[00:40] ---
    have also been lost.
[00:46] ---
    When sinking down,
    we learned loneliness.
[00:52] ---
    But now we’ve met each other,
    we are no longer alone.
[00:56] ---
    Unveil your feelings,
    Those high emotions
[01:02] ---
    Those tears will change your fate.
[01:07] ---
    Pound your heartbeat
    against the darkness,
[01:10] ---
    We’re sure to meet,
    Under the same flag of pain
[01:47] ---
    Byakugan!
[02:00] ---
    Why did you take down Naruto
    with her?!
[02:25] ---
    It was an accident…
[02:26] ---
    Had I not applied the finishing blow
    to her at the moment,
[02:29] ---
    we would’ve been in danger instead.
[02:32] ---
    I know of no instance
[02:34] ---
    of the Ninja Art: Kujaku
    being defeated up until now…
[02:36] ---
    He will be missed.
[02:40] ---
    Hidden Leaf Shinobi,
    your mission is over.
[02:44] ---
    I still haven’t taken back the star.
[02:46] ---
    We’ll search for it by ourselves.
    Thank you for your help.
[03:01] ---
    Hoshikage: The Buried Truth
[03:46] ---
    Rest easy…
    I’m not an enemy.
[03:55] ---
    Come to think of it…
    What happened after I fell off the cliff?
[03:59] ---
    Could it be…?
    Did you save me, lady?
[04:03] ---
    Yes…
[04:18] ---
    I see.
    I don’t really remember, though…
[04:21] ---
    Well anyway, you saved me! Thanks.
[04:24] ---
    I’m Naruto, a Ninja from
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves and…
[04:28] ---
    Umm, I came to protect the star, but…
[04:35] ---
    You kind of stole it, lady…
[04:43] ---
    I’m Natsuhi…
[04:45] ---
    Natsuhi? What?
    I’ve heard that name before…
[04:50] ---
    Oh!
[04:52] ---
    That red star’s sure pretty.
[04:55] ---
    Natsuhiboshi…
    lt watches over me all the time.
[05:00] ---
    It’s the same name
    as Natsuhiboshi.
[05:04] ---
    If I remember right,
[05:05] ---
    Sumaru said it’s a star
    that protects him!
[05:09] ---
    Sumaru said that?
[05:11] ---
    Yeah! Say, lady…
    Do you know him?
[05:18] ---
    Sumaru is my child.
[05:20] ---
    What?! So, you’re Sumaru’s mom?!
[05:26] ---
    What?! Sumaru escaped?!
[05:33] ---
    I am very sorry.
[05:35] ---
    I was careless thinking
    the muscle relaxants were still in effect.
[05:42] ---
    Most likely the guys from
    the Hidden Leaf
[05:44] ---
    are the ones who took him away…
[05:45] ---
    What do we do?
[05:47] ---
    It’d be bad news if these circumstances
    were to be known
[05:49] ---
    by the Leaf, no,
    by those in our village.
[05:52] ---
    We’ve got to look high and low
    for Sumaru right away.
[05:56] ---
    There’s no need to get rattled…
[05:58] ---
    We can take care of them at
    our leisure after we find the star.
[06:03] ---
    I got it. If we tell the Village Hidden
    in the Leaves something like
[06:06] ---
    they died during the mission…
[06:09] ---
    We could also convince Sumaru.
[06:11] ---
    I burned Natsuhi’s Chakra
    into my memory…
[06:14] ---
    We’ll reach the star
[06:16] ---
    if we follow the remnants
    of her Chakra.
[06:25] ---
    Naruto was…?
[06:27] ---
    Yeah. Along with the Kunoichi
    who stole the star.
[06:32] ---
    But I didn’t see them
    in the Valley of Death…
[06:35] ---
    Are you saying they escaped from
    the valley
[06:37] ---
    where the poison gas swirls?
[06:40] ---
    Perhaps.
[06:41] ---
    If that’s the case,
[06:42] ---
    they might have crossed the border
    and escaped safely to the forest…
[06:46] ---
    Hey, let’s all look for them!
[06:50] ---
    What’s the deal, guys?!
[06:52] ---
    Naruto helped all of you,
    didn’t he?!
[06:56] ---
    But if we don’t have an order
    from Lord Akahoshi… Right?
[07:01] ---
    Yeah…
[07:02] ---
    We don’t have time to be waiting
    for an order! I’m going!
[07:08] ---
    I’m going…
[07:11] ---
    I’ll go too, if it’s to look for Naruto.
[07:16] ---
    Mizura, you can’t.
[07:18] ---
    I want to be useful in some way.
[07:23] ---
    No… I’ll go.
[07:32] ---
    Sumaru?!
[07:33] ---
    You’re okay!
[07:35] ---
    We safely rescued him from
    the Hoshikage’s medical room
[07:37] ---
    where he was being held!
[07:40] ---
    What? Why was he in
    Lord Hoshikage’s medical room?
[07:44] ---
    It wasn’t a Ninja from
    some other village
[07:46] ---
    who knocked you all out
    and took Sumaru away!
[08:05] ---
    Akahoshi, the leader of your village
    was the culprit!
[08:10] ---
    In other words, the Shinobi
    who made off with the star
[08:12] ---
    and the Shinobi who attacked all
    of you were different people.
[08:17] ---
    That’s what Neji deduced
    word for word.
[08:22] ---
    Why would Lord Akahoshi…?
[08:24] ---
    Why would he do that to us?
[08:26] ---
    What does this mean, Sumaru?
[08:28] ---
    I don’t know, either!
[08:30] ---
    But it seems Lord Akahoshi
    is hiding something from us…
[08:35] ---
    Isn’t it about time you guys realized it?
[08:37] ---
    Akahoshi’s using you as he pleases.
[08:46] ---
    Mizura is not the exception.
[08:48] ---
    If you guys continue
    training this way,
[08:50] ---
    everyone will collapse and then…
[08:52] ---
    No way…
[08:54] ---
    It can’t be. That’s a lie!
[08:55] ---
    Lord Akahoshi is not that
    kind of person, ever!
[09:01] ---
    Perhaps the Shinobi
    who stole the star will tell the truth.
[09:06] ---
    Let’s find the Shinobi who disappeared,
    whatever the cost!
[09:11] ---
    The forest in the Land of Bears
    is deep.
[09:14] ---
    If only outsiders go,
    they’d just get lost.
[09:18] ---
    Okay, work with us.
[09:21] ---
    So leave this to me.
[09:24] ---
    But…
[09:26] ---
    You rest now.
[09:28] ---
    At some point, the time will come
    when we’ll need your help.
[10:07] ---
    How about it, Akahoshi…?
[10:09] ---
    Were you able to get a lead on
    the remnants of Natsuhi’s Chakra?
[10:31] ---
    This is good.
[10:33] ---
    I guess this is what’s called
    good old home-cooking.
[10:37] ---
    There’s more.
[10:40] ---
    One more bowl!
[10:46] ---
    But why’d you do something like
    steal the star, Sumaru’s mom?
[10:51] ---
    This is not the first and only time
    I took that away.
[10:55] ---
    Ten years ago as well…
[10:57] ---
    Huh…?
[10:59] ---
    Training utilizing that star was painful
    for many Shinobi at the time
[11:03] ---
    and even caused many deaths.
[11:07] ---
    My husband Hotarubi and I
    who survived the training…
[11:15] ---
    thought to seal the star to prevent
    any more victims due to the training.
[11:35] ---
    A Tracking Unit immediately caught up
    with us after we had stolen the star.
[11:58] ---
    Hold it!
[12:08] ---
    Lord Third Hoshikage…
[12:11] ---
    Hotarubi…Natsuhi…
    Your thoughts are reasonable…
[12:16] ---
    As it happens, I was also wavering.
[12:19] ---
    But in the position of Hoshikage,
    it was difficult to make a decision.
[12:23] ---
    I promise to terminate
    the star training.
[12:27] ---
    But the hard-line faction
    of the Star Village
[12:29] ---
    might at some point
    resume the training…
[12:32] ---
    You two must leave this village!
[12:34] ---
    I want you to keep an eye on
    the village from the outside.
[12:37] ---
    And if it seems that the training
    will begin once again…
[12:44] ---
    Please stop it with
    your power.
[12:47] ---
    Lord Hoshikage…
[12:58] ---
    For Sumaru…
[13:12] ---
    Tell Sumaru that…we died.
    Please be good to him.
[13:18] ---
    Yes, I understand.
[13:20] ---
    Upon allowing us to leave the village,
[13:24] ---
    the Lord Third Hoshikage completely
    prohibited the star training.
[13:29] ---
    Like us, the Third Hoshikage
    was also distressed
[13:33] ---
    at the damage from
    the star training.
[13:36] ---
    Neji was also talking about that.
[13:38] ---
    But are the effects from
    the star that severe?!
[13:42] ---
    Yes. My husband Hotarubi died
    due to side effects
[13:46] ---
    a while after leaving the village…
[13:49] ---
    I might also die at any time
    from the effects.
[13:54] ---
    No way…
[13:59] ---
    Then let’s go back to
    the village!
[14:01] ---
    Tell Akahoshi directly to
    stop the training!
[14:06] ---
    Akahoshi is a man who puts
    the prosperity of the village
[14:08] ---
    ahead of the lives of
    the children.
[14:11] ---
    As proof of that,
    he has taken Sumaru hostage
[14:14] ---
    and has demanded that
    I return the star.
[14:17] ---
    What?! Then the masked Ninja
    from that time was…
[14:24] ---
    Hold it!
[14:26] ---
    Farewell!
[14:27] ---
    Wh-What?!
[14:33] ---
    It was Akahoshi?!
[14:46] ---
    What is it, Sumaru’s mom?
[14:49] ---
    They’ve… Akahoshi has come.
[15:06] ---
    Is this the place?
[15:08] ---
    Where’s the star being hidden?
[15:23] ---
    Hotarubi… Please protect
    the star, protect Sumaru…
[15:44] ---
    The star is under that rock…
[15:46] ---
    But it seems the entrance
    is sealed…
[15:52] ---
    What can we do with
    a boulder like this…?
[15:56] ---
    Our only choice is to blow it up
    little by little with Letter Bombs.
[16:02] ---
    I won’t let you do that!
[16:13] ---
    Wha--?!
[16:14] ---
    Didn’t this brat die in
    the Valley of Death?
[16:18] ---
    I won’t be done in just like that,
    believe it!
[16:22] ---
    You guys step back.
[16:25] ---
    Then I just have to do it again.
[16:29] ---
    Ninja Art: Kujaku Beast!
[16:38] ---
    Here we go!
[17:14] ---
    You’re mine!
[17:24] ---
    I saw that move coming!
    Become a sacrifice for my beast!
[17:41] ---
    What?!
[17:47] ---
    Natsuhi… So you were alive too,
    after all, huh?
[17:51] ---
    Akahoshi, reconsider one more time…
[17:55] ---
    If you stop the star training
    and release the children,
[17:59] ---
    I’ll have no more to do
    with the village…
[18:02] ---
    I don’t think so!
[18:05] ---
    The Third Hoshikage was stubborn
[18:08] ---
    and never wavered
    in his opposition.
[18:11] ---
    Opposition to those of us
    who trained Star Ninja
[18:14] ---
    and attempted to bring prosperity
    to the village…
[18:21] ---
    No! As long as I,
    the Third Hoshikage, am alive,
[18:24] ---
    the resumption of that training
    will never be allowed!
[18:30] ---
    Return to your posts… That is all.
[18:50] ---
    Have you lost your mind…
[18:53] ---
    Akahoshi?
[18:55] ---
    You’re the one who’s lost his mind!
[18:59] ---
    Rest easy and go to
    the other world…
[19:02] ---
    Our generation will
    raise this village
[19:05] ---
    to rival that of
    the Five Great Hidden Villages…
[19:18] ---
    Was this…really okay?
[19:22] ---
    It was necessary for the sake
    of the village, right?
[19:26] ---
    Exactly! We can do star training
    as we please.
[19:38] ---
    Unforgivable!
[19:39] ---
    What do you think of all those
    who are training frantically,
[19:42] ---
    believing in you guys?!
[19:44] ---
    One’s even on the verge of dying!
    Do you understand that?!
[19:47] ---
    Sacrifice is unavoidable for
    the sake of village prosperity.
[19:51] ---
    A Shinobi is merely a tool for that.
[19:55] ---
    For the sake of village prosperity?
[19:58] ---
    Knock it off!
[19:59] ---
    All you’re doing is deceiving
    the people in the village!
[20:03] ---
    This is a Star Village issue…
    I will settle this.
[20:07] ---
    B-But…!
[20:08] ---
    Step back!
[20:18] ---
    Yotaka, Shisou!
[20:34] ---
    Wha--?! He devoured
    his comrades’ Chakra!
[20:44] ---
    My Chakra beast has a full stomach.
[20:46] ---
    Things won’t go as they did before.
[20:50] ---
    Talk is cheap!
[20:52] ---
    Sumaru’s mom…
[21:24] ---
    Yesterday’s Call Sign,
    was all from my cell phone.
[21:31] ---
    In a strange park,
    I play the Fuzz Guitar without enthusiasm.
[21:50] ---
    Yellow Moon.
[21:52] ---
    Even now, counting to three,
    I open my eyes
[21:59] ---
    Shadow Moon I am still dreaming.
[22:04] ---
    Look at my eyes, look at my eyes,
    as we face one another’s back
[22:11] ---
    Look at my eyes, when can we meet?
[22:18] ---
    EveryDay EveryNight
    With every word I can think of
[22:24] ---
    Right away, my messy feelings as is,
[22:33] ---
    A magical chord change, in a restless city
[22:40] ---
    A daily JAZZ Guitar played
    in a soft minor key
[22:50] ---
    Neji, how’s Sumaru’s mom doing?
[22:53] ---
    She’s stable for now,
[22:54] ---
    but her condition can worsen
    at any moment.
[22:56] ---
    What?
[22:57] ---
    Her Chakra Network that had
    already been weakened
[22:59] ---
    due to the side-effects of the star
    before she received Akahoshi’s attack.
[23:01] ---
    In other words,
    her Chakra Network is all beat up?
[23:03] ---
    Hey, Granny Tsunade
    could heal her, right?
[23:06] ---
    I don’t know.
[23:07] ---
    But either way,
[23:08] ---
    if she were to use
    the Ninja Art: Kujaku any further,
[23:10] ---
    there’s no guarantee she’ll live.
[23:12] ---
