[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
[01:44] ---
    Like I said, I've already told you
    everything I know.
[01:48] ---
    You first met Genno at Ichiraku…
[01:51] ---
    What did you talk about then?
[01:54] ---
    I don’t remember everything!
[01:56] ---
    That’s what we want to know.
[01:58] ---
    If we analyze your conversation,
[02:00] ---
    we might be able to figure out
    who hired Genno.
[02:04] ---
    We already know all
    the conversations
[02:07] ---
    that you've had during
    the past two weeks.
[02:09] ---
    What we want to know is what
    you guys talked about before that.
[02:12] ---
    You tell me that but…
    I don’t remember…
[02:18] ---
    Then we’ll put you
    under Regressive Hypnosis.
[02:21] ---
    Huh? Regressive Hypnosis?
[02:24] ---
    Using hypnosis,
[02:25] ---
    we can bring out the memory of
    the past from your subconscious…
[02:29] ---
    Oh…
[02:31] ---
    Just relax…
[02:34] ---
    Back to the Past Jutsu!
[02:46] ---
    Let’s start…
[02:50] ---
    Right now you are traveling
    through your memories…
[02:53] ---
    A day ago… two days ago…
    three days ago…
[03:00] ---
    Keep going back into the past.
[03:03] ---
    And…it’s the day you met
    the old carpenter.
[03:07] ---
    Where are you?
[03:11] ---
    Inside…the forest…
[03:16] ---
    The Anbu Gives Up?
     Naruto's Recollection
     I was training on my own…
     And it was lunch time so…
[03:21] ---
    I headed for Ichiraku…
[03:24] ---
    And that’s where…
[03:28] ---
    You met him not inside
    the restaurant, but outside, yes?
[03:36] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[03:38] ---
    Huh? Oh yes…
[03:40] ---
    I was just trying to figure out if
    I should go into the restaurant or not.
[03:43] ---
    Is it any good?
[03:45] ---
    Old man, you’re not from here are you?
[03:47] ---
    Oh… I’m a freelance carpenter.
    How did you know?
[03:54] ---
    Because all the Leaf Village people
    know that Ichiraku’s ramen is the best!
[04:00] ---
    I see…
[04:03] ---
    Here you go!
    Thanks for waiting!
[04:08] ---
    Yes! This is quite good!
[04:11] ---
    Isn’t it?!
[04:16] ---
    Thank you for this meal!
[04:18] ---
    You’re already done?
[04:20] ---
    I am a growing boy!
[04:23] ---
    Even an extra large isn’t
    enough for me!
[04:25] ---
    I see… Then, why don’t I give
    you some of mine.
[04:28] ---
    What? Are you sure?
[04:30] ---
    Yes.
[04:31] ---
    Lucky!
[04:35] ---
    Thanks…old man!
[04:42] ---
    So…we said good-bye after
    we finished eating the ramen…
[04:47] ---
    And when did you meet him next?
[04:49] ---
    I met him in front of Ichiraku again…
[04:54] ---
    Byakugan!
[05:09] ---
    There’s nothing here either…
[05:11] ---
    I see…
[05:21] ---
    Byakugan!
[05:32] ---
    I see…
[05:44] ---
    It seems like there were
    odor neutralizing components
[05:47] ---
    in last night’s smoke screen.
[05:49] ---
    He was quite prepared
[05:51] ---
    Then why did he get caught?
[05:54] ---
    Well, that’s because our Anbu Black Ops
    are really good, right…?
[05:57] ---
    He should have known
[05:59] ---
    that our Anbu Black Ops were excellent
    before he infiltrated us…
[06:02] ---
    He should have had
    other escape routes ready.
[06:06] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    that sounds about right…
[06:09] ---
    But right now,
    there’s no way to find out.
[06:12] ---
    Dead men tell no tales, I see.
[06:20] ---
    Over here.
[06:27] ---
    What are you doing?
[06:29] ---
    We’re connecting the pieces
    of the corpse.
[06:32] ---
    Connecting the pieces…
[06:35] ---
    It was in a really awful shape.
[06:37] ---
    From what I hear,
    he had Paper Bombs all over his body…
[06:42] ---
    Would you like to wait outside
    until we’re done?
[06:46] ---
    I-I suppose so…
[06:47] ---
    I’ll stay here!
[06:48] ---
    What?
[06:55] ---
    You’re quite impressive…
[06:57] ---
    Sakura.
[07:09] ---
    And he gave me eggs and
    barbeque pork that time…
[07:13] ---
    He’s talking about Ramen again.
[07:15] ---
    Shh!
[07:16] ---
    Oh, I remember that time…!
[07:20] ---
    What happened?
[07:22] ---
    He showed…me a photograph.
[07:25] ---
    A photograph?
[07:28] ---
    A photograph of a guy that
    looked about my age.
[07:32] ---
    When I asked him why
    he was so nice to me…
[07:37] ---
    I have a grandson.
[07:40] ---
    He’s about the same age as you.
[07:43] ---
    So I can’t think of you as a stranger.
[07:47] ---
    I look forward to treasure hunting with
    my grandson on my days off.
[07:53] ---
    Treasure hunting?
[07:56] ---
    Yeah…
[07:58] ---
    What, you’re already done eating?!
[08:03] ---
    Then I’ll give you some of mine.
[08:06] ---
    Thanks, old man!
[08:11] ---
    What happened to your hand?
[08:14] ---
    Oh… It’s a scar from a long time ago
[08:16] ---
    when I accidentally cut myself
    with a saw.
[08:18] ---
    Oh.
[08:21] ---
    And then he gave me
    his ramen again…
[08:25] ---
    Genno has no relatives…
[08:28] ---
    Then his story about
    his grandson a lie?
[08:30] ---
    We started marking him the next day.
[08:34] ---
    I think any more inquiries are pointless.
[08:37] ---
    I guess he wouldn’t be careless enough
[08:39] ---
    to leak any information even to a Gennin.
[08:45] ---
    An emergency report
    from Lady Tsunade!
[08:55] ---
    I see… There was nothing unusual
    about any of the buildings.
[08:58] ---
    They were all built
    according to their plans…
[09:01] ---
    There were no signs of any traps.
[09:04] ---
    So was it just camouflage for him
    to sneak in as a carpenter?
[09:10] ---
    It’s too soon to make a judgment on that.
[09:12] ---
    If he was just supposed to
    steal the plans,
[09:15] ---
    there was no need for him
    to be a carpenter.
[09:18] ---
    By the way,
    what were you guys looking up?
[09:22] ---
    We got a list of places where
    he used to stop by
[09:24] ---
    from his carpenter buddies,
[09:26] ---
    and we’re looking through
    all those places,
[09:29] ---
    but so far we haven’t found any clues.
[09:31] ---
    Oh, there’re a lot of restaurants…
[09:34] ---
    Yeah… Seems like he never
    went out besides to go eat.
[09:39] ---
    In the meantime, Hinata,
    you go see Ino and Sakura
[09:42] ---
    at the forensics center.
[09:43] ---
    Neji and Choji, you guys go
    help Kiba and Shino!
[09:47] ---
    Understood.
[09:52] ---
    Then, we should get going too…
[09:54] ---
    Shikamaru!
[09:57] ---
    Lady Tsunade is calling for you!
[10:00] ---
    The Fifth Hokage is?
[10:04] ---
    What?! The Village Hidden
    in the Waterfalls?
[10:08] ---
    It seems that they’ve committed
    all their troops into battle position.
[10:11] ---
    They’re calling it
    a big practice run, however…
[10:16] ---
    Big practice run…?
[10:18] ---
    I don’t think I need to say more, but…
[10:20] ---
    It’s been used many times in the past.
    They get all of their troops together
[10:23] ---
    for the purpose of a big practice run
    and then invade another country…
[10:28] ---
    Furthermore, there is information that
    Genno stayed in
[10:31] ---
    the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls
[10:33] ---
    before coming to
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves…
[10:35] ---
    It wouldn’t be unusual if there
    was some sort of connection.
[10:40] ---
    Most of the Ninja we've deployed
[10:43] ---
    have already been mobilized
    to the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls.
[10:46] ---
    Crossing the border will be
    taken as a sign of willful invasion.
[10:49] ---
    We will attack anyone that enters.
[10:53] ---
    Shikamaru, I want you to
    head over to the border, too!
[11:00] ---
    I don’t think that there’s
    a need for us to go.
[11:04] ---
    Shikamaru?!
[11:06] ---
    What do you mean…?
[11:12] ---
    Naruto. Hey, Naruto!
[11:14] ---
    Huh?
[11:16] ---
    You’re getting in the way of my business
    by standing there!
[11:20] ---
    Oh… Sorry.
[11:25] ---
    Now that I think about it,
[11:27] ---
    I’ve never seen the old man finish
    his ramen…
[11:31] ---
    Could it be that he hated ramen?
[11:35] ---
    But then why did he come to
    lchiraku all the time?
[11:44] ---
    Tell us why.
[11:47] ---
    Ten Gennin and one Chunin…
[11:50] ---
    Our presence or absence won’t
    make much of a difference
[11:51] ---
    to the overall situation.
[11:53] ---
    What is your point…?
[11:56] ---
    I don’t like it…
[12:00] ---
    Old Man Genno’s actions…
[12:03] ---
    After the investigation,
    I’ve figured it out…
[12:05] ---
    His everyday activities were
    quite impressive…
[12:10] ---
    His abilities as a carpenter
    was average,
[12:12] ---
    he was quite plain, never stood out,
    and never made any big mistakes
[12:15] ---
    Nobody hated him,
    and nobody liked him.
[12:19] ---
    Even if he were to disappear
    all of a sudden,
[12:22] ---
    no one would think twice
    about it the next day…
[12:25] ---
    A very low-key profile.
[12:30] ---
    It’s an undercover technique
    that's so impressive
[12:32] ---
    that I’d want to put it
    in a Shinobi textbooks.
[12:34] ---
    A brilliant Shinobi like him being marked
    by the Anbu Black Ops so easily…
[12:40] ---
    Don't you think that's a bit strange…?
[12:43] ---
    That’s true…
[12:45] ---
    And when he was trying to get away…
[12:49] ---
    He was able to get away from
    the Anbu Black Ops,
[12:52] ---
    but they caught up to him.
[12:54] ---
    For a trap professional,
    it seems like such a lame end.
[13:02] ---
    On top of all that, the plans
    have completely disappeared.
[13:06] ---
    It doesn’t make any sense to me.
[13:10] ---
    And…?
[13:11] ---
    Everything is moving
    along according to his plan.
[13:16] ---
    It couldn’t be…?
[13:18] ---
    His true identity being discovered,
[13:20] ---
    and dying in front of
    the Anbu Black Ops…
[13:22] ---
    What if all of that was his plan?
[13:25] ---
    And if he had predicted that
    we would all leave the village
[13:28] ---
    in taking precautions against
    the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls…
[13:32] ---
    We could be just dancing on
    the palm of his hand.
[13:37] ---
    But if we look at all the information
    we have at this point,
[13:41] ---
    we need to be on alert for
    the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls.
[13:43] ---
    That’s true, but…
[13:46] ---
    However…
[13:47] ---
    I don’t think the situation will
    change much
[13:52] ---
    just by sending another ten Gennin
    and one Chunin…
[13:56] ---
    I’ll have the Shikamaru squad
    continue to investigate Genno.
[14:02] ---
    Understood.
[14:06] ---
    Shikamaru! Choji!
[14:08] ---
    Sorry… I didn’t mean to make you wait.
[14:13] ---
    My head hurts…
[14:15] ---
    Hey. Why do we have to
    look through these books?
[14:18] ---
    I don’t want to do it either.
    But this is the basis of investigation.
[14:24] ---
    But still… There’re so many numbers,
    my eyes are hurting.
[14:28] ---
    I’m sorry…
    I still can’t find it .
[14:32] ---
    I see…
[14:33] ---
    What?
[14:34] ---
    The old recommendation letter
    that enabled them
[14:37] ---
    to figure out that Genno’s
    recommendation letter was a fake.
[14:40] ---
    Why do you have to look for that?
[14:42] ---
    Just a hunch…
[14:45] ---
    Did the people of this house just lose it?
    Or did he…
[14:51] ---
    In either case,
[14:52] ---
    he should have wanted to get rid of
[14:54] ---
    the recommendation letter
    that he brought…
[14:56] ---
    Why would he just get rid of
    the old recommendation letter?
[15:04] ---
    This is where he took his own life…?
[15:07] ---
    It seems that they’ve already
    collected the remains.
[15:10] ---
    It’s a job done by the Anbu Black Ops…
[15:12] ---
    They don’t leave anything behind.
[15:15] ---
    Everyone, come over here!
[15:19] ---
    Look, the tree is burned on both sides!
[15:21] ---
    The Paper Bombs exploded…
[15:23] ---
    There should be burned marks.
[15:25] ---
    The fact that it’s on both sides
    is the problem!
[15:27] ---
    I see. If it were just a suicide bomb,
[15:30] ---
    it wouldn’t have left marks on both sides.
[15:32] ---
    There would have to be
    at least two explosions
[15:35] ---
    to leave this kind of burn marks.
[15:37] ---
    But according to the Anbu Black Ops,
[15:40] ---
    he exploded the Paper Bombs
    that were wrapped around his body.
[15:43] ---
    But no one saw him at the moment
    of the explosion…
[15:47] ---
    There may be Anbu Black Ops,
[15:49] ---
    but they’d still need to dodge
    the explosion.
[15:56] ---
    This one’s burned on both sides too…
[16:02] ---
    Same on this tree too.
[16:05] ---
    Probably…
[16:06] ---
    First, the Paper Bombs that
    were placed on
[16:09] ---
    the trees in the surrounding area
    were blown up…
[16:10] ---
    Then there was a huge explosion
    in the center.
[16:15] ---
    If he had set off the explosions
    close to each other,
[16:18] ---
    then it’s possible to perceive it
    as one explosion!
[16:20] ---
    I see…
[16:21] ---
    But in order to do that,
[16:22] ---
    he would have needed to set up
    some sort of trick before hand.
[16:25] ---
    Didn't Genno take his life
[16:28] ---
    after being cornered by
    the Anbu Black Ops?
[16:30] ---
    What if they didn't catch up to him,
[16:32] ---
    but rather,
    he let them catch up to him?
[16:36] ---
    So you’re saying that
    he was running away
[16:38] ---
    planning to let them
    catch up to him here?!
[16:41] ---
    It’s not impossible…
[16:43] ---
    If that is the case…
[16:45] ---
    It’s possible that he could
    have laid other traps
[16:48] ---
    Could it be that…
[16:49] ---
    the fact he killed himself with
    the Paper Bombs is also…
[16:57] ---
    It’s done.
    They said you could come in.
[16:59] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[17:04] ---
    It’s impossible.
[17:06] ---
    Didn’t the Anbu Black Ops make sure
    with their own eyes…?
[17:08] ---
    Yeah.
[17:11] ---
    There's no point in telling me
    to check out the body.
[17:13] ---
    I’m not a Medical Ninja.
[17:17] ---
    What should I check
    and how should I do it…?
[17:23] ---
    Sakura…
[17:24] ---
    This man… He snuck in as
    a carpenter right?
[17:29] ---
    That’s right. Is there something
    that bothers you?
[17:32] ---
    His hand… It’s too clean.
[17:35] ---
    My family owns a flower shop,
    remember?
[17:39] ---
    I’ve been helping out
    since I was a kid…
[17:42] ---
    So if I look at a person’s hand,
    I can tell what kind of job they do…
[17:45] ---
    Carpenter’s hands are much more rough.
[17:50] ---
    And there’s no way that a trap
    professional’s hand would be so clean!
[17:54] ---
    Then…!
[17:55] ---
    May I?
[17:58] ---
    Byakugan!
[18:02] ---
    Just as I suspected…
[18:03] ---
    There’s no evidence that he's trained
    his Chakra Network.
[18:06] ---
    This man has never controlled
    a Chakra…
[18:09] ---
    What?
[18:10] ---
    The people from the medical group
    were talking over there.
[18:12] ---
    That they have some questions
    about this body…
[18:16] ---
    This person is not a Ninja!
[18:26] ---
    Reporting! The spearhead of
    the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls
[18:29] ---
    is about to reach the borders!
[18:31] ---
    They’re fast…
    What about our enforcement army?
[18:34] ---
    They are gathering currently,
[18:36] ---
    but they’re not in position
    for battle quite yet…
[18:39] ---
    What if they attack even before
    we’re in position for battle?
[18:43] ---
    In any case…
    Who would have thought
[18:45] ---
    that the Village Hidden in
    the Waterfalls would…
[18:47] ---
    Nothing will come of that right now.
[18:50] ---
    Once the enemy crosses that river,
[18:52] ---
    we will see that as their intent
    to wage war on us,
[18:53] ---
    and we will start to attack!
[18:55] ---
    Yes!
[19:13] ---
    Academy?
[19:14] ---
    There were no plans for the Academy…
[19:22] ---
    Excuse me!
    Could you help me?
[19:27] ---
    Did you call?
[19:28] ---
    We saw that the Academy had
    made some payments last month…
[19:33] ---
    Last month?
[19:38] ---
    Oh this. We did some
    reparation work for the Academy.
[19:43] ---
    We don't have the plans for that.
[19:45] ---
    No, that’s not possible…
[19:49] ---
    That’s strange…
    Where did I put it?
[19:58] ---
    What’s going on?
[20:05] ---
    Above…?
[20:12] ---
    What’s the matter, Naruto?
[20:19] ---
    What’s going on?
[20:27] ---
    They should show themselves soon…
[20:31] ---
    Reporting! The Village Hidden
    in the Waterfalls spearhead
[20:34] ---
    that was closing in on the borders
    has started to retreat!
[20:37] ---
    What?!
[20:39] ---
    It seems like it really was
    a practice run…
[20:42] ---
    Then where are the stolen plans?!
[20:49] ---
    Th-This is…
[20:53] ---
    This is Shikamaru’s…
[20:57] ---
    These are the plans?
[20:59] ---
    Yeah…
[21:00] ---
    It’s written in a complex code
    so that it’s not easily deciphered.
[21:07] ---
    But…
[21:11] ---
    Why are the plans that were stolen
    by Genno appearing here?
[21:41] ---
    On a checkerboard night
[21:43] ---
    when the stardust’s are rapidly dancing
[21:46] ---
    I just can’t come out and say,
    “Ah, I don’t want to go home yet.”
[21:52] ---
    Suggestively
[21:54] ---
    Spat at that beloved face!!
    Mister Cricket
[22:00] ---
    The Trombone gradually going off-key
[22:05] ---
    While on the sweaty center stage
    does bug me.
[22:12] ---
    But more importantly, the fuzziness I feel
    in my undeveloped chest,
[22:17] ---
    I wonder if it’s from
    that coke I just drank?
[22:50] ---
    Students these days,
    sure lack civility.
[22:52] ---
    They usually do things like
    eat potato chips, eat barbeque…
[22:54] ---
    – Read comics.
    – And eat box lunches.
[22:56] ---
    – Is eating all you talk about?
    – All that loafing?
[22:59] ---
    Well, I mean
    the self study hours are for…
[23:00] ---
    – You know?
    – No, I don’t know.
[23:02] ---
    They devote themselves to training
    even though their Sensei is not watching.
[23:04] ---
    – Isn’t it beautiful?
    – Really?
[23:07] ---
    I am moved! I will back up
    their training myself!
[23:12] ---
    Huh?!
[23:13] ---
