[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,
[00:29] ---
    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
[01:42] ---
    The Powerful Helper
[01:56] ---
    Old Man Genno…
[02:02] ---
    Yes! This is quite good!
[02:05] ---
    Isn't it?!
[02:08] ---
    Why’d he do something like this?
[02:13] ---
    Now this detonator won’t activate.
[02:16] ---
    Excellent, Tenten.
[02:18] ---
    Now we can sigh with relief.
[02:20] ---
    No, it’s still too soon to be relieved.
[02:22] ---
    Right… When Genno realizes that
[02:25] ---
    the detonator here has been removed…
[02:28] ---
    he might activate
    the Paper Bombs with
[02:30] ---
    some other method and blow up the Leaf.
[02:35] ---
    Oh, right.
[02:39] ---
    You jerk. Don’t scare me like that, Choji!
[02:43] ---
    Sorry.
[02:47] ---
    At the moment,
    it seems there’s no one here
[02:49] ---
    who’s picked up on our movements.
[02:52] ---
    All right, then put things back
    the way they were.
[02:55] ---
    Got it.
[02:56] ---
    Now then…
[03:00] ---
    You guys do the Kunai Knife practice
    like before.
[03:04] ---
    Don’t hit the center.
[03:05] ---
    We know.
[03:07] ---
    But we were sure lucky…
    Nobody hit the center.
[03:11] ---
    But I hit it right in the center yesterday.
[03:14] ---
    I bet you were off by a little.
[03:17] ---
    What? I don’t know about that..
[03:18] ---
    It hit, I tell you.
[03:23] ---
    To think there’d be this many.
[03:25] ---
    Lady Tsunade, let’s evacuate
    the villagers as quickly as possible.
[03:28] ---
    Hey, you’re joking, right?
[03:31] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:32] ---
    If you do that, Genno might…
[03:36] ---
    blow up the remaining Paper Bombs
[03:38] ---
    right under the cover
    of the evacuation confusion.
[03:43] ---
    I see.
[03:45] ---
    Naruto and the others are removing
    the Paper Bombs now.
[03:48] ---
    Could you wait for their report?
[04:03] ---
    Akamaru?
[04:08] ---
    Did you find one?
[04:14] ---
    There it is!
[04:15] ---
    All right!
[04:16] ---
    Attaboy, Akamaru.
[04:23] ---
    How’s it coming?
[04:24] ---
    Just a little more.
[04:29] ---
    Yes!
[04:30] ---
    I leave the rest to you.
[04:31] ---
    Leave it to me.
[04:42] ---
    Did you get it yet, Naruto?
[04:43] ---
    Just a little more.
[04:46] ---
    Just a little more, I tell you.
[04:49] ---
    H-Hang in there, Naruto.
[04:51] ---
    Damn it, you little…
[04:54] ---
    Hey, what’re you guys doing?
[04:57] ---
    Oh, umm…
[05:00] ---
    Some money got into the opening.
[05:02] ---
    Oh, I’ll get it out for you later.
[05:05] ---
    No, no. That’d be dangerous…
[05:07] ---
    I mean, there’s no time to waste with
    eating ramen.
[05:11] ---
    Th-That’s right.
[05:12] ---
    Ichiraku is sure tasty, isn’t it?
    Well, hang in there.
[05:16] ---
    Yeah, thank you.
[05:17] ---
    Thanks.
[05:19] ---
    Phew, we got through it well.
[05:21] ---
    Excellent, Naruto.
[05:26] ---
    We’d like more manpower.
[05:29] ---
    It takes too long just with us.
[05:31] ---
    But there aren’t any other Shinobi
    left in the village.
[05:36] ---
    Well, there are some here, though.
[05:38] ---
    People of leisure who do nothing
    but tell about old stories and
[05:40] ---
    complain about
    what the young people do.
[05:44] ---
    Huh?
[05:45] ---
    Could they be…?
[05:47] ---
    Did you get that foul mouth from
    the Third Hokage?
[05:51] ---
    It’s the job of us advisors to
    give advice to the youngsters.
[05:56] ---
    What’s wrong with complaining?
[05:58] ---
    It seems you have a good nose for
    village crises due to your longevity.
[06:03] ---
    You’re plenty older than
    you look yourself.
[06:07] ---
    Wh-What did you say? You old bag!
[06:11] ---
    Watch what you say, eh, Fifth Hokage.
[06:16] ---
    We’ve grasped most of the situation.
    Where should we head to?
[06:21] ---
    Then there’s a place
    I’ve been saving for you.
[06:24] ---
    Oh ho. I can’t wait.
[06:26] ---
    To think the Fifth Hokage would be beaten.
[06:28] ---
    That’s a powerful supporter.
[06:30] ---
    Wow.
[06:31] ---
    But scary.
[06:34] ---
    Hurry! Youth, full power!
[06:38] ---
    The enemy’s in the Leaf!
[06:43] ---
    I appreciate it,
    but I can’t stand those two.
[06:48] ---
    But the removal operation
    will proceed swiftly
[06:50] ---
    once Guy Senpai and the others who
    headed for the Hidden Waterfall get back.
[06:55] ---
    It’ll be nice if things were to
    go conveniently like that, but…
[06:58] ---
    Shikamaru, have you got something?
[07:00] ---
    I mean, it’s not ordinary stuff.
[07:02] ---
    When and how the hell
    did he set them?
[07:06] ---
    There are too many Paper Bombs.
    An abnormal amount of it.
[07:11] ---
    No doubt about it.
[07:12] ---
    Uh-huh.
[07:13] ---
    And there’s one more thing
    bugging me.
[07:17] ---
    We’re overlooking something huge…
    I really get that feeling.
[07:25] ---
    Almost.
[07:26] ---
    What’re you doing?
    You’re not supposed to hit the center.
[07:30] ---
    That’s right.
[07:32] ---
    I’m next. I’ll miss.
[07:34] ---
    In your case,
    you’ll probably miss even if you aim.
[07:40] ---
    How’s it going, Neji?
[07:41] ---
    The Paper Bomb removal operation
    is going smoothly.
[07:44] ---
    I don’t see anyone
    resembling Genno either.
[07:47] ---
    I wonder where the enemy is.
[07:54] ---
    Making us walk all the way to
    the outskirts of town.
[07:57] ---
    She must’ve gotten this slave driver
    tendency from the Third Hokage.
[07:59] ---
    A place that wouldn’t be unusual
    for old people to tell old stories.
[08:04] ---
    I’ll rake her over the coals
    when we get back.
[08:07] ---
    But what is that Genno fellow thinking?
[08:11] ---
    There’s no point to setting
    Paper Bombs in a place like this.
[08:15] ---
    Is that what you really think?
[08:17] ---
    What?
[08:18] ---
    There was a plan to build
[08:20] ---
    a shopping district
    around here before, right?
[08:23] ---
    That talk was over thirty years ago.
[08:31] ---
    Hmm?!
[08:47] ---
    What’s this?
[08:48] ---
    H-Hey, isn’t that…?
[08:51] ---
    Yes.
[08:58] ---
    Look at this.
[08:59] ---
    What is it?
[09:02] ---
    The Jutsu form written here is different.
[09:05] ---
    You’re right.
[09:06] ---
    Now that you mention it, there’s no doubt.
[09:08] ---
    It looks the same to me, though.
[09:11] ---
    Where are your eyes pointing?
[09:13] ---
    It’s the first time I’ve seen this.
[09:15] ---
    It’s nothing new to us.
[09:18] ---
    Speaking of Paper Bombs,
    that’s what they were in the old days.
[09:21] ---
    Then this is an old version?
[09:24] ---
    It seems most of the Paper Bombs
[09:27] ---
    that have been set in
    the village are of that type.
[09:29] ---
    Everyone, please look closely once more
[09:31] ---
    at the locations where
    the Paper Bombs were set.
[09:34] ---
    Although this is
    a residential area here,
[09:37] ---
    there are hardly any Paper Bombs set.
[09:40] ---
    On the other hand,
    a large number of Paper Bombs
[09:42] ---
    have been set in places
    where hardly anyone lives.
[09:45] ---
    What does that mean?
[09:47] ---
    In the old plans,
[09:49] ---
    that was supposed to become
    a bustling shopping district.
[09:51] ---
    What? Could that be…?
[09:54] ---
    If you think about it putting together
    various factors
[09:56] ---
    such as the antique Paper Bombs,
[09:57] ---
    the places where they were set
    and such…
[10:02] ---
    This is a trap that was
    set thirty years ago.
[10:10] ---
    Thirty years ago…
[10:13] ---
    It’s just ridiculous.
    Not one person noticed in thirty years.
[10:19] ---
    It’s a blind spot.
[10:20] ---
    Nobody would ever think
[10:22] ---
    that this many Paper Bombs would
    be set here in this village.
[10:26] ---
    Once buried in a wall,
[10:29] ---
    it couldn’t be found unless Byakugan
    or something was used.
[10:32] ---
    Then you mean
    the Genno guy tried to use
[10:35] ---
    the Paper Bombs someone
    set thirty years ago?
[10:38] ---
    But how did he find them?
[10:41] ---
    Thirty years ago?
    Could it be…?!
[10:44] ---
    Shikamaru, where are you going?
[10:46] ---
    Hey! Wait up.
[10:53] ---
    We’re finished here, too
[10:55] ---
    Let’s go to the next spot, Hinata.
[10:56] ---
    Right.
[11:01] ---
    Hinata!
[11:02] ---
    What’s the matter?
[11:03] ---
    I was using the Byakugan the whole time,
[11:05] ---
    so I’m just a little tired…
    I’m fine.
[11:08] ---
    Are you sure?
[11:09] ---
    Let me see.
[11:10] ---
    Oh.
[11:11] ---
    You’re kind of feverish.
    Your face is red, too.
[11:14] ---
    No, it’s not like that.
[11:16] ---
    I’ll be okay if I just rest a little…
[11:18] ---
    Really? Then I’ll deliver
    the Paper Bombs
[11:22] ---
    we’ve gathered thus far
    to Grandma Tsunade,
[11:24] ---
    so you wait here.
[11:25] ---
    Okay.
[11:27] ---
    I’ll be right back!
[11:34] ---
    Ichiraku Ramen
[11:39] ---
    The old man was standing here
    the first time I met him.
[11:51] ---
    I thought he was just
    a ramen-loving old man, but…
[11:58] ---
    Hm?
[12:01] ---
    Could it be that what
    he was looking at then was…?
[12:32] ---
    Why in a place like this?
[12:34] ---
    Well well…
[12:38] ---
    So you found it, huh?
[12:41] ---
    Old man?
[12:46] ---
    I guess I cannot let you
    go back now, can I?
[12:51] ---
    Thirty years ago, huh?
[12:53] ---
    That’s around the time when
    my dad was still the master carpenter.
[12:56] ---
    It was probably a time
[12:57] ---
    when many outsiders were hired
    just like now.
[13:00] ---
    But I wonder if there are records
    from back then.
[13:04] ---
    Anything would be fine.
    A blueprint or a ledger.
[13:07] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru.
    What’re you talking about? Explain.
[13:10] ---
    Why did the referral vanish?
[13:13] ---
    Referral? You mean the real referral
[13:16] ---
    that became the catalyst for
    Genno being suspected?
[13:20] ---
    It was bugging me the whole time.
[13:22] ---
    Perhaps the disappearance of
    the referral was Genno’s doing.
[13:26] ---
    But why was it necessary
    to get rid of it?
[13:29] ---
    It all makes sense
    if we consider the referral
[13:31] ---
    that disappeared was a fake, too.
[13:34] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:36] ---
    But that referral was always here.
[13:40] ---
    So it was Genno himself
[13:42] ---
    who came here to work with
    that referral thirty years ago.
[13:47] ---
    Oh!
[13:48] ---
    That is to say…probably.
[13:51] ---
    At that time, he used a referral
[13:53] ---
    that couldn’t be distinguished
    from the real thing.
[13:55] ---
    And then he went to the trouble
    of making one
[13:58] ---
    that would be recognized as
    a fake if compared with that one.
[14:00] ---
    Why?
[14:02] ---
    Even with old referrals,
[14:04] ---
    he would be discovered
    if reinvestigated again.
[14:06] ---
    So he got rid of it right after
    you blew the whistle on him.
[14:10] ---
    In order to conceal the fact that
    he worked here thirty years ago.
[14:15] ---
    It’s because at that time in the village,
[14:17] ---
    he set as many Paper Bombs
    as were available.
[14:23] ---
    Why?
[14:24] ---
    Why’d you do such a thing?!
[14:27] ---
    Long ago, there was a village
[14:29] ---
    called Heat Devil Village in
    the Land of Mountains.
[14:32] ---
    This is the village where I was born.
[14:36] ---
    Heat Devil Village?
[14:38] ---
    You don’t know it?
[14:39] ---
    No…
[14:40] ---
    The only thing recorded in
    the Bingo Book you brought
[14:43] ---
    is that Genno’s homeland is
    the Land of Mountains.
[14:47] ---
    To be precise, Heat Devil Village
    in the Land of Mountains.
[14:50] ---
    The village itself vanished,
[14:52] ---
    so it probably ended up
    not being recorded.
[14:55] ---
    Thirty years ago,
[14:56] ---
    the Village Hidden in Leaves
    and Heat Devil Village were at war.
[15:01] ---
    Neither side didn’t give an inch
    and the battle was in deadlock.
[15:07] ---
    We launched a successful sneak attack
    on Heat Devil Village,
[15:09] ---
    taking advantage of the absence
    of their main forces.
[15:13] ---
    The tide of the war turned to
    the Leaf’s advantage in one shot.
[15:20] ---
    The only thing written
    in the history books
[15:22] ---
    is that an armistice was concluded
    three months after that.
[15:26] ---
    These three months are what’s peculiar.
[15:28] ---
    Heat Devil Village should’ve been thinking
    about a counterattack
[15:32] ---
    before accepting a cease fire.
[15:35] ---
    Here it is.
    lt’s my dad’s diary from thirty years ago.
[15:39] ---
    Really?
[15:40] ---
    Yeah. It seems he left it faithfully.
[15:43] ---
    Here.
[15:44] ---
    Thanks.
[15:46] ---
    "A middle-aged man from
    the Hidden Sand came
[15:48] ---
    "with a master carpentry referral."
[15:51] ---
    "His skills aren’t great, but I decided
    to hire him as I want manpower."
[15:55] ---
    The date is one week after
    the Heat Devil Village attack.
[15:59] ---
    Then like you thought…
[16:01] ---
    Checkmate. This is Genno.
[16:05] ---
    It was my mission to infiltrate the Leaf
[16:07] ---
    and to set Paper Bombs
    throughout the village.
[16:13] ---
    The operation was for the main forces
    of Heat Devil Village
[16:15] ---
    to invade the Village Hidden
    in the Leaves at the same time
[16:18] ---
    as the Paper Bomb explosions
    and inflict a devastating blow.
[16:23] ---
    I went out to various sites and
    set Paper Bombs.
[16:28] ---
    The Leaf village did not have substantial
    Anbu Black Ops as they do now.
[16:32] ---
    So I was able to move about with ease.
[16:39] ---
    Right around the time when
    two and a half months had passed,
[16:41] ---
    I finished setting almost all
    of the Paper Bombs…
[16:43] ---
    and all that was left was to wait
    for my comrades to attack.
[16:49] ---
    But my comrades never came.
[16:52] ---
    Why?
[16:54] ---
    The leader of Heat Devil Village who
    had insisted on “do-or-die” resistance;
[16:58] ---
    lost his life in an accident.
[17:00] ---
    And the man who assumed
    the position of leader in his place
[17:02] ---
    agreed to a ceasefire with the Leaf.
[17:05] ---
    What?
[17:07] ---
    "Genno doesn’t show up at the scene.
    I wonder what the deal is."
[17:11] ---
    He disappeared having left
    behind the Paper Bombs.
[17:13] ---
    As for me, my intention was to
    immediately return to the Hidden Leaf.
[17:19] ---
    I thought the ceasefire would just
    be a temporary thing anyway.
[17:23] ---
    But Heat Devil Village would never
    give me another mission.
[17:29] ---
    Two weeks after the ceasefire,
[17:30] ---
    the Village Hidden in the Vale launched
    a sneak attack on Heat Devil Village
[17:33] ---
    and it was destroyed.
[17:34] ---
    No way!
[17:36] ---
    They were targeted at a moment
[17:37] ---
    when they were weariest from
    the battle with the Leaf.
[17:40] ---
    Their defenses were probably
    also down due to the ceasefire.
[17:43] ---
    "Two months has passed since…
[17:46] ---
    Where did Genno disappear off to…?"
[17:50] ---
    Then why come back to the Leaf Village
    now after all this time?
[17:55] ---
    You set Paper Bombs because
    it was your mission, right?
[17:59] ---
    If Heat Devil Village is no more,
[18:01] ---
    then there should be no reason
    to go to the trouble of smashing the Leaf!
[18:05] ---
    Could it be…someone asked you
    to smash the Leaf?
[18:09] ---
    Rest easy.
[18:10] ---
    I haven’t been commissioned
    or commanded by anyone.
[18:14] ---
    Then why?
[18:18] ---
    How can I put this? It felt like a waste.
[18:22] ---
    A waste? What’s up with that?
[18:25] ---
    I’m getting old and I could be taken
    to heaven any time now.
[18:29] ---
    If I were to die as is,
[18:31] ---
    I’d be buried in darkness without
    anyone learning of my traps.
[18:36] ---
    If so, then I thought I’d put them
    to good use before I die.
[18:42] ---
    Are you serious?
[18:43] ---
    You tried to kill people in the village
    just for that reason?
[18:49] ---
    I can’t believe that!
[18:52] ---
    Then treating me to ramen was to…
[18:58] ---
    It was to find out
[19:00] ---
    about the present state
    of affairs in the Leaf.
[19:02] ---
    Damn you! You jerk!
[19:08] ---
    You’ll understand when you get older!
[19:10] ---
    I don’t understand!
    As for me…
[19:12] ---
    I won’t ever understand it!
[19:15] ---
    I’ll show you my final big job
    as a Trapper!
[19:21] ---
    No way will I let you do that!
[19:23] ---
    My friends are now in the middle
    of removing all the Paper Bombs!
[19:28] ---
    I won’t let the bombs blow up!
[19:33] ---
    Sounds like quite a struggle.
[19:35] ---
    But who said I was going to
    blow up the Paper Bombs?
[19:40] ---
    What’re you talking about?
    You just said that before you die…
[19:43] ---
    I said I would put them to good use.
    You’re naïve, boy.
[19:48] ---
    What?
[19:49] ---
    I can put them to sufficiently good use
    even without blowing them up.
[19:54] ---
    Katsu!
[19:59] ---
    A Shinobi reads two
    or three moves ahead
[20:02] ---
    and prepares several moves
    in advance.
[20:05] ---
    Remember that!
[20:12] ---
    Shikamaru!
[20:14] ---
    What is it?
[20:15] ---
    The Academy students are saying
    they’re tired.
[20:18] ---
    What should we do?
[20:19] ---
    The Academy students?
[20:21] ---
    The Kunai Knife practice, right?
[20:23] ---
    What? They were still doing that?
[20:25] ---
    You idiot! You were the one
    who had them do it.
[20:28] ---
    Oh, oh yeah. Then have them
    go ahead wrap things up.
[20:33] ---
    Rather, it’d be trouble if they were
    to get lucky and hit the center.
[20:37] ---
    Oh!
[20:38] ---
    What is it?
[20:40] ---
    I get it. So that’s it!
[20:43] ---
    It’s unnatural for a guy so prepared
[20:45] ---
    to casually entrust the
    final explosive device to pure luck.
[20:49] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:51] ---
    A Shinobi of Genno’s level should blow
    it up with the most effective timing.
[20:56] ---
    In other words,
[20:58] ---
    it doesn’t matter whether
    the Paper Bombs explode or not.
[21:02] ---
    It’s just a diversion.
[21:04] ---
    He’s really after something else!
[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?
[22:51] ---
    Choji, things might get pretty ugly.
[22:53] ---
    You’ve figured something out, huh?
[22:54] ---
    We need to contact
    the Fifth Hokage.
[22:56] ---
    To not let the returning forces
    enter the village.
[22:58] ---
    Got it! But… Why?
[23:00] ---
    If the Paper Bombs were
    all a diversion,
[23:03] ---
    then the moment he makes his move
[23:04] ---
    is most likely when
    the main forces return!
[23:06] ---
    What?!
[23:07] ---
    Shikamaru! Choji! We’ve got trouble!
[23:10] ---
    What happened, Hinata?!
[23:10] ---
    Naruto… Naruto’s in trouble!
[23:13] ---

    Countdown to Destruction”
