[00:01] ---
Rock away your existence,
[00:03] ---
Shouting that you are here…
[00:06] ---
A new journey begins now.
[00:23] ---
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,
[00:37] ---
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
[01:43] ---
Mystery of the Targeted Merchants
[01:55] ---
Did they really come this way?
[01:57] ---
But why come this way?
[01:59] ---
They shouldn’t come this way
if it’s as you say, Choji.
[02:02] ---
I said that because I didn’t think
we were being targeted.
[02:07] ---
I don’t think this is
the time to argue…
[02:10] ---
We have to formulate
some sort of strategy.
[02:12] ---
You say that, but…
[02:14] ---
What is it?
[02:16] ---
Have the guys
you spoke of caught up?
[02:20] ---
Then we should divide up
this group in two.
[02:24] ---
Here it’s hard enough
to protect one.
[02:26] ---
What’s the point of dividing
the group in two?
[02:28] ---
N-Naruto!
[02:30] ---
Please, tell us what your idea is.
[02:35] ---
This is what I mean.
[02:38] ---
For example…
[02:43] ---
Let’s say there are
ten persimmons here.
[02:45] ---
Is anything okay
if it’s a food?
[02:49] ---
Yeah.
[02:50] ---
Then I want it to be ramen!
[02:54] ---
Naruto, it’s an example, so…
[02:56] ---
Then we’ll make it ramen.
[02:59] ---
Someone is after
these ten bowls of ramen.
[03:02] ---
And there are three people
to protect the ramen.
[03:05] ---
And so one person has
to protect roughly three bowls.
[03:08] ---
No, no. If it’s ramen,
[03:10] ---
we should just eat it all
before they come.
[03:12] ---
That would settle things.
[03:17] ---
N-Naruto. This ramen is
for delivery to someone,
[03:21] ---
so we can’t eat it.
[03:23] ---
Really? But the ramen
won’t be tasty if it gets soggy.
[03:26] ---
I’m moving on.
[03:28] ---
If three people protect
ten bowls of ramen,
[03:31] ---
one person protects
about three bowls.
[03:34] ---
But this ramen has
legs for escaping.
[03:36] ---
Ramen with legs for escaping?!
[03:39] ---
Five bowls of ramen
quick to escape…
[03:46] ---
and five bowls of ramen
slow to escape.
[03:48] ---
Right, right..
Things are kind of getting crazy.
[03:51] ---
I see. If we divide them
into two groups…
[03:54] ---
Of course, the pursuers would target
the group that is slow to escape first.
[03:59] ---
So we have one person
defend the preceding group
[04:02] ---
and two people
for the group that is slow to escape.
[04:05] ---
Right, right.
[04:07] ---
By doing this, as for protecting
the slow group,
[04:11] ---
now one person can just protect
two and a half bowls.
[04:14] ---
Oh!
[04:16] ---
In other words, the ramen that are
quick to escape are the young people
[04:20] ---
and the ramen that are slow to escape
are the elderly people and children, right?
[04:24] ---
Exactly.
Not only will the possibility of
[04:26] ---
the former to completely
get away increase,
[04:28] ---
the burden on the latter
to protect will decrease.
[04:31] ---
It’s a strategy that kills two birds
with one stone.
[04:33] ---
You’re smart.
[04:36] ---
However…
the elderly people and children will…
[04:40] ---
I just stated a rational idea.
[04:43] ---
There’s the possibility
[04:44] ---
of complete annihilation
if we stay in a group.
[04:46] ---
Am I wrong, Yurinoshin?
[04:48] ---
Well…
[04:50] ---
Then it’s settled.
Let’s divide everyone up in two.
[04:55] ---
I’m sorry, gramps.
[04:56] ---
Don’t worry about it.
[04:59] ---
It would be trouble if something bad
were to happen to the men in their prime.
[05:03] ---
You’ve got a wife and kid
at home, right?
[05:08] ---
Then we’ll be going on
ahead first, Naruto, Choji.
[05:13] ---
Right.
We’re counting on you, Hinata.
[05:15] ---
Naruto and I will deal
with the pursuers.
[05:18] ---
Right.
I’ll protect them well.
[05:31] ---
Lady Haruna.
[05:32] ---
Yurinoshin, keep your mouth shut.
What’s your mission?
[05:37] ---
Is it not to protect me?
[05:40] ---
Things will be settled if Kikusuke
defeats those guys.
[05:44] ---
Then shall we get going, too?
[05:47] ---
I’m counting on you, Brother Choji.
[05:49] ---
Right! Leave it to me!
[05:52] ---
Choji.
[05:54] ---
You go on ahead.
[05:56] ---
What?
[05:57] ---
I’m going back to check things out
at the place where the traps are.
[06:01] ---
But if you do that, you may encounter
the pursuers along the way…
[06:04] ---
That’s fine.
[06:05] ---
Doing something like waiting
to be attacked isn’t my style!
[06:09] ---
Naruto!
[06:11] ---
Leave it to me!
[06:14] ---
I meant…
[06:16] ---
There’s no point to our strategy
[06:17] ---
if I have to protect five people
by myself.
[06:19] ---
Right, there’s no point.
[06:27] ---
We came down that path,
[06:29] ---
so the trap should be
up ahead somewhere.
[06:32] ---
I guess I’ll take a shortcut!
[06:48] ---
What’s this? What happened?
[06:54] ---
Why is it so wet?
[07:08] ---
What’re these wounds?!
[07:13] ---
This guy’s…!
[07:24] ---
Are you serious?
[07:27] ---
Is something wrong, Brother Choji?
[07:29] ---
No, nothing.
[07:32] ---
I see…
[07:34] ---
I feel it.
[07:35] ---
Even I can sense this much bloodlust.
[07:38] ---
It’s close now.
[07:41] ---
Huh?
[07:43] ---
Rain?
[07:45] ---
This is the worst. Rain wipes out
all presence of the enemy.
[07:53] ---
Oh…
[07:54] ---
This rain is weird.
[08:03] ---
Gather around, everyone!
[08:08] ---
Stay close to me.
[08:12] ---
What’s…this?
[08:19] ---
This is bad!
[08:22] ---
What was that now?!
[08:24] ---
Everyone! Get under the cart!
[08:27] ---
We’re already under here!
[08:29] ---
You’re quick!
[08:31] ---
Choji!
[08:33] ---
Naruto!
[08:36] ---
Get down!
[08:37] ---
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[08:57] ---
Naruto! Could you say so
at the start
[09:00] ---
if you’re going to
use paper bombs?
[09:04] ---
All right. It seems they’re gone.
[09:07] ---
Why did they disappear?
[09:10] ---
Isn’t it obvious?
[09:12] ---
They have no business with a shop
that doesn’t have the thing they want.
[09:16] ---
Thing they want?
[09:17] ---
That’s right.
[09:18] ---
If a shop’s sold out
of the item you want,
[09:21] ---
you’d go to another shop, right?
[09:24] ---
Could it be that the thing that he wants
is in the other group?
[09:30] ---
What does that mean?!
[09:33] ---
Hinata’s in danger!
[09:35] ---
Everyone, leave your stuff here
and take only what you need!
[09:39] ---
Hinata is?!
[09:49] ---
Everyone, we’ll put up our tents here
for today and rest.
[09:55] ---
It’s dangerous to move in the dark.
[10:07] ---
Hey!
[10:12] ---
We finally caught up.
[10:16] ---
Naruto, Choji. What is it?
[10:19] ---
“What is it,” nothing.
The situation has changed.
[10:24] ---
It seems someone among
these people
[10:26] ---
is hiding something important.
[10:30] ---
Something important?
[10:32] ---
It should probably have something
to do with us being chased.
[10:37] ---
But who is hiding what?
[10:41] ---
It’s most likely you guys,
Shun and Yurinoshin.
[10:46] ---
Don’t be silly!
What’re you saying we’re hiding?
[10:49] ---
Don’t play innocent!
[10:51] ---
Kikusuke has been killed
by someone!
[10:55] ---
What?!
[10:56] ---
Kikusuke was?!
[11:00] ---
Don’t play innocent!
[11:02] ---
Kikusuke has been killed
by someone!
[11:06] ---
What?!
[11:07] ---
Kikusuke was?!
[11:08] ---
Why should he have to
suit up like a Shinobi,
[11:11] ---
fight those guys and then get killed?!
[11:15] ---
It’s not necessary to tell you guys.
[11:17] ---
But if that’s why we’re being chased…
[11:20] ---
It means you guys are putting
everyone in danger.
[11:24] ---
If you don’t tell us honestly,
[11:26] ---
we won’t be able to protect
even what we can protect.
[11:29] ---
Kikunojou…
[11:34] ---
Kikunojou?
[11:35] ---
You mean Kikusuke?
[11:38] ---
Yes… And my name isn’t Yurinoshin.
It’s Yurinojou.
[11:42] ---
Stop, Yurinojou!
[11:47] ---
The person here is Lady Haruna,
[11:49] ---
the only daughter of the feudal lord
of the Land of Greens.
[11:53] ---
Princess?!
[11:55] ---
Princess Haruna of the Land of Greens.
You’ve grown up so much…
[12:02] ---
P-Princess…?
[12:03] ---
You were a woman?!
[12:06] ---
Lady Haruna,
it is as these people say.
[12:10] ---
We must not put everyone in danger
by hiding the truth any further.
[12:17] ---
But why is someone like a princess
mingling among merchants?
[12:21] ---
There was information of
a coup in the Land of Greens.
[12:27] ---
A coup?
[12:28] ---
The Land of Greens was a small,
but calm and peaceful land.
[12:32] ---
However, it was by no means
a prosperous land.
[12:36] ---
Before we realized it,
[12:38] ---
more than half of the public officials
had been bought off.
[12:41] ---
Who in the world would do that…?
[12:43] ---
The ringleaders are three brothers
called the Janin,
[12:46] ---
evil Ninja who came from
across the sea.
[12:49] ---
Janin?
[12:50] ---
Yes. They’re guys who use
a particular type of Ninjutsu
[12:53] ---
and are called as such
because of their frightfulness.
[12:58] ---
They’ve taken many lives
and think nothing of it
[13:02] ---
if it’s for their own gains.
[13:05] ---
They treat people like worms…
[13:08] ---
But why the Land of Greens?
[13:12] ---
I don’t know why.
[13:14] ---
But his lordship had Lady Haruna
hide amongst a group of merchants
[13:18] ---
and got her out of the land.
[13:21] ---
Kikunojou and I were left
with the protection of the princess,
[13:25] ---
but we were insecure with
just the two of us.
[13:27] ---
So then we hurriedly commissioned
the Hidden Leaf
[13:31] ---
under the pretext of protection
from bandits.
[13:34] ---
Why didn’t you tell us
something that important?
[13:37] ---
There’s no way I could have.
My escape is top secret.
[13:40] ---
Besides, what would happen
if I were to have told you?
[13:42] ---
The end result would’ve been
you guys running away in confusion.
[13:45] ---
No way would I do something
like run away.
[13:48] ---
Kikunojou might not have
had to die if
[13:51] ---
we had understood the situation
from the start.
[13:54] ---
I wonder.
[13:56] ---
One of you guys might’ve ended up
like Kikunojou.
[14:02] ---
We’re actually fine.
[14:04] ---
But to think you’d go so far as to involve
the old lady and the children.
[14:07] ---
It couldn’t be!
[14:09] ---
Were you intending to use
the old lady and the kids as decoys
[14:11] ---
and escape just yourself?!
[14:14] ---
That’s right. What of it?
[14:17] ---
Choji! Hinata!
[14:21] ---
As for me,
I’m really tickedoff right now!
[14:25] ---
So what of it?!
[14:27] ---
If something should happen
in the land,
[14:29] ---
I would become
the only blood relative
[14:31] ---
of the feudal lord of
the Land of Greens.
[14:33] ---
If I can just survive,
things could be restored someday,
[14:36] ---
even if the Land of Greens
were to be destroyed.
[14:40] ---
Say what?! Just what is it
you think of people’s lives?!
[14:56] ---
Please forgive her.
[14:59] ---
Yurinojou.
[15:01] ---
Is it not your mission to protect me?
[15:05] ---
You’re still talking about such things…?
[15:07] ---
Please wait, Naruto!
[15:11] ---
Lady Haruna, that’s true for me.
[15:14] ---
However, these people are different.
[15:17] ---
The mission they undertook
was to protect merchants.
[15:20] ---
It was not to protect us.
[15:25] ---
Indeed, what we heard about
[15:27] ---
was a D-rank mission to protect
all of the merchants.
[15:30] ---
Protecting a prominent figure of
a land is an A-rank mission.
[15:36] ---
The rank differs by far too much.
[15:39] ---
Are you guys saying
you’re going to forsake me?
[15:42] ---
Weren’t you saying until just now
[15:44] ---
that you didn’t trust people like us?
[15:46] ---
I’ll protect you with my life,
Lady Haruna…
[15:49] ---
Shut up, Yurinojou!
Kikunojou was your senior disciple.
[15:52] ---
There’s no way you alone
could defeat an opponent
[15:54] ---
whom he couldn’t defeat!
[15:57] ---
That will just be our destiny
when that happens, Lady Haruna.
[16:12] ---
Watch, Brother Choji.
[16:17] ---
Oh! Awesome, awesome.
[16:20] ---
I’m sorry about earlier.
[16:23] ---
It happened so suddenly,
I couldn’t stop.
[16:27] ---
Don’t be concerned about me.
[16:29] ---
However, please forgive Lady Haruna.
[16:33] ---
The Land of Greens is a small land.
[16:36] ---
For the sake of the land’s survival,
[16:38] ---
Lady Haruna was kept under
the custody of another land,
[16:41] ---
as a hostage all by herself
since she was little.
[16:44] ---
Hostage?
[16:46] ---
It frequently happens in
a small land in a war-torn world.
[16:51] ---
When Lady Haruna returned
from the other land,
[16:55] ---
she had completely lost her feelings
of trust towards people.
[16:59] ---
Lady Haruna is also
a victim of a turbulent world.
[17:07] ---
There’s a village
[17:08] ---
about one league down
the mountain from here.
[17:10] ---
For the time being,
[17:11] ---
we’ll leave the old woman
and the others there.
[17:15] ---
Be careful now.
[17:16] ---
You guys, too!
[17:18] ---
Bye!
[17:20] ---
Why are you separating them from us?
[17:23] ---
They still have value for
my personal use.
[17:26] ---
Are you still going on about that?
[17:28] ---
They went so far as to discard
their merchandise for your sake.
[17:33] ---
Then we should also leave this place.
[17:35] ---
We must not.
[17:37] ---
If we go into hiding,
[17:39] ---
there’s a possibility of
that group being attacked again.
[17:42] ---
Exactly. This time,
it’s our turn to be the decoy
[17:47] ---
in order to protect them.
[17:50] ---
Do as you like!
[18:05] ---
Hinata, I’ll take care of things here.
Please rest a while.
[18:10] ---
Yeah, do that.
[18:12] ---
Th-Then, if you insist.
[18:26] ---
Oh, yeah. Here.
Kikunojou was holding this.
[18:32] ---
Thanks, Naruto.
[18:38] ---
Kikunojou was a master
of the Flower Ninjutsu
[18:40] ---
passed down in the Land of Greens.
[18:43] ---
We learned together
when we were little
[18:45] ---
and I couldn’t beat him even once…
[18:48] ---
Now I have forever lost
the chance to beat him.
[18:53] ---
No… You still have a chance.
[18:56] ---
What?
[18:58] ---
If you beat the guy
who defeated Kikunojou,
[19:01] ---
you will have beaten Kikunojou!
[19:04] ---
Naruto… You’re exactly right…!
[19:07] ---
Here they come!
[19:09] ---
Other than the fact that
the enemy uses water,
[19:11] ---
we have absolutely no idea
what they’ll come at us with.
[19:14] ---
I know.
[19:17] ---
Go! Flower Ninja Art:!
Flying Flowers: Falling Foliage.
[19:31] ---
What?!
[19:32] ---
He changed the trajectory in mid-air?!
[19:40] ---
Oh, no!
[19:43] ---
I finally got you!
[19:45] ---
Gotcha.
[19:48] ---
To think you’d
make me look like a fool.
[19:50] ---
So you finally show yourself.
[19:53] ---
I will avenge Kikunojou!
[19:57] ---
Try it if you can.
[20:06] ---
I won’t let you get away!
[20:16] ---
Too bad. You’re one person short.
[20:19] ---
I’ve set a share for one more.
[20:25] ---
I don’t know about that.
[20:40] ---
First, I’ll take care of you, boy.
[20:43] ---
Water Style: Liquid Memory!
[20:49] ---
Naruto…!
[20:52] ---
And this!
[20:55] ---
Summoning Jutsu!
[21:01] ---
What is it?
[21:03] ---
Is that…?
[21:04] ---
The Jutsu that killed Kikunojou?!
[21:09] ---
Vanish and die!
[21:25] ---
Yesterday’s Call Sign,
was all from my cell phone.
[21:32] ---
In a strange park,
I play the Fuzz Guitar without enthusiasm.
[21:51] ---
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
[22:25] ---
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
[22:52] ---
What is this huge thing?
[22:54] ---
I don’t wanna become its food.
[22:55] ---
Let me tell you one thing.
I’m not tasty.
[22:57] ---
I’m not tasty, either.
[22:58] ---
But Choji would be more
worthwhile to eat.
[23:00] ---
No, Naruto would be tastier.
[23:02] ---
Be eaten for the sake of your comrade.
[23:04] ---
You’re the one who will
become it food.
[23:05] ---
This isn’t the time to be arguing
about stuff like that.
[23:07] ---
Yurinojou!
[23:10] ---
Anyway, we just have to run
with all our might for now!
[23:13] ---
