**[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] ---**
Next time:
"Reunion: The Remaining Time"
