**[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…

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] ---**

Huh?!
**[23:13] ---**
