[00:01] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[00:27] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[00:33] ---
    because we were always together
[00:40] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[00:45] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[00:51] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[00:58] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[01:05] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:24] ---
    Our two hearts
[01:59] ---
    Sure enough, I just can’t get
    into training by myself.
[02:14] ---
    As for the Pervy Sage…
[02:16] ---
    I wonder what he’s doing and where?
[02:19] ---
    And what happened to him
    watching my training?! Damn it!
[02:37] ---
    What’s she doing?
[02:54] ---
    Wow, are you painting a picture?
[03:04] ---
    Huh?!
[03:11] ---
    There’s nothing like rain clouds
    in the sky.
[03:22] ---
    Wha--?
[03:46] ---
    The Hokage’s house!
[04:00] ---
    Hurry! Get a move on.
[04:02] ---
    Water, water, water!
[04:04] ---
    Right away!
[04:05] ---
    – Water Style!
    – Water Style!
[04:06] ---
    – Marine Battle Formation Jutsu!
    – Marine Battle Formation Jutsu!
[04:13] ---
    Whoa! You idiots.
    Not me, up on the roof!
[04:16] ---
    We’re very sorry!
[04:22] ---
    Right, keep it up.
[04:23] ---
    Yes, ma’am!
[04:34] ---
    As I thought, the thing I had feared
    has happened…
[04:39] ---
    Kurenai's Decision:
    Squad 8 Left Behind
[04:50] ---
    There she is.
[04:52] ---
    Hey! Wait up!
[05:09] ---
    Giving us trouble.
[05:11] ---
    Let’s hurry up and take her back.
[05:12] ---
    Right.
[05:13] ---
    Hey, wait!
[05:15] ---
    What’re you guys doing?!
[05:21] ---
    Anbu Black Ops?!
[05:22] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki,
    leave this place immediately.
[05:26] ---
    Huh?!
[05:28] ---
    As for her, what’d she do?
[05:31] ---
    It doesn’t concern you.
[05:33] ---
    Listen up. Don’t breathe a word
    of what you saw here.
[05:37] ---
    Knock it off! Just a minute!
[05:40] ---
    Don’t get in our way!
[05:44] ---
    Oh! They vanished…
[05:48] ---
    Damn it! What’s going on?!
[05:53] ---
    Oh, important documents are soaked.
[05:57] ---
    This will have to be dried in the sun.
[05:59] ---
    I’ll take them outside.
[06:01] ---
    Thanks.
[06:05] ---
    ‘Morning.
[06:06] ---
    Oh, Kurenai Sensei.
[06:08] ---
    Is the Fifth Hokage in?
[06:10] ---
    Yes.
[06:15] ---
    So? Is there no change to your sentiment
    about pulling out of Squad 8?
[06:19] ---
    No.
[06:31] ---
    Think about it carefully.
[06:33] ---
    Kiba, Shino, Hinata…
[06:35] ---
    You’re the one who recommended
    those guys lacking in experience
[06:37] ---
    for the Chunin Exam.
[06:40] ---
    You don’t care about them?
[06:42] ---
    But I must not leave that
    problem unresolved.
[06:46] ---
    It’s my responsibility, so…
[06:48] ---
    That incident was no fault of yours.
[07:00] ---
    If the Anbu Black Ops are involved,
    then is she a considerably bad person?
[07:05] ---
    Or was she involved in some kind
    of significant incident?
[07:10] ---
    What did you say?!
[07:12] ---
    Calm down, Kiba.
[07:13] ---
    Kiba, Hinata?
[07:17] ---
    Hey, Shino. Say that again!
[07:20] ---
    Very well. I said it’d be futile.
[07:23] ---
    How dare you say something like that…!
[07:27] ---
    Cut it out!
[07:29] ---
    Naruto.
[07:30] ---
    Calm down. What the hell’s wrong?
[07:34] ---
    We in Squad 8 were left high
    and dry by Kurenai Sensei.
[07:38] ---
    Huh? What do you mean?
[07:41] ---
    You see, Sensei spoke to us
    directly about it.
[07:48] ---
    My duty is completed.
[07:50] ---
    You will probably be provided with
    another Jonin in charge eventually.
[07:55] ---
    Just a minute, Kurenai Sensei.
[07:57] ---
    Sensei…
[07:59] ---
    It’s written in stone.
[08:01] ---
    Our relationship is just that of
    commander and subordinate.
[08:05] ---
    It’s just the team formation changing
    as circumstances demand.
[08:10] ---
    And that was that.
    She didn’t even give us a reason.
[08:14] ---
    That was that?
    Are you guys going to accept that?
[08:17] ---
    Hell no! That’s why I’m saying we should
    march into the Hokage’s office and
[08:21] ---
    protest why she is removing
    Kurenai Sensei from our Squad 8!
[08:26] ---
    Then this Shino says…
[08:28] ---
    I’m saying it’s futile.
[08:31] ---
    It’s because this might be something
    she herself decided on.
[08:35] ---
    Pig-headed jerk…!
[08:38] ---
    Hinata, what do you think?
[08:41] ---
    I also want Kurenai Sensei to stay
    as our Jonin in charge…
[08:45] ---
    But…
[08:45] ---
    But what?!
[08:49] ---
    Kurenai Sensei might have some kind
    of reason of her own…
[08:53] ---
    Umm…
[08:55] ---
    So you’re the same as Shino, huh?
[08:57] ---
    No… Kiba!
[08:59] ---
    Just stop fighting already.
    I’ll do something about this.
[09:04] ---
    Naruto, you’re not even on this team.
[09:07] ---
    What’re you going to do?
[09:08] ---
    Leave it to me.
[09:10] ---
    I won’t let Kurenai Sensei quit,
    no matter what.
[09:22] ---
    I blurted out that they can leave it to me,
    but I don’t know.
[09:26] ---
    Hm?
[09:29] ---
    Kurenai Sensei.
[09:32] ---
    What’s she doing?
[09:35] ---
    All right, I should ask her directly.
[09:42] ---
    Umm, Sensei.
[09:45] ---
    Naruto.
[09:46] ---
    I heard from Kiba and the others.
[09:49] ---
    What?
[09:50] ---
    Don’t give up being in charge of Squad 8.
[09:53] ---
    They’re really depressed.
[09:56] ---
    That’s why you went to
    the trouble of coming?
[09:58] ---
    Yeah. It seems they really revere you.
[10:03] ---
    I don’t know what you heard
    from those kids,
[10:05] ---
    but I can’t do that.
[10:07] ---
    I don’t deserve to.
[10:09] ---
    Deserve?
[10:12] ---
    Please tell them all for me.
    Tell them I’m never coming back.
[10:17] ---
    Sensei.
[10:20] ---
    Damn it. She hardly listened to me at all.
[10:25] ---
    Since it’s come to this,
    I guess I’ll try Grandma Tsunade directly.
[10:40] ---
    Naruto.
[10:41] ---
    Sakura!
[10:43] ---
    What is it?
[10:44] ---
    Kurenai Sensei says she’s going
    to quit Squad 8,
[10:48] ---
    so I’m going to try asking
    Grandma Tsunade directly.
[10:51] ---
    I think that’d be useless… Probably.
[10:54] ---
    It’ll be okay.
[10:55] ---
    As for me, I know the place where
    she keeps her alcohol hidden,
[10:58] ---
    so if I threaten to reveal it to Shizune…
[11:01] ---
    What I meant was that she must have
    some good reason for quitting.
[11:05] ---
    What? What? By any chance,
    do you know something, Sakura?
[11:08] ---
    Huh?
[11:10] ---
    You know something, right? Tell me.
[11:13] ---
    No, don’t know anything.
[11:15] ---
    Come on, tell me!
[11:17] ---
    You’re a pest.
[11:18] ---
    Would I ever do something like eavesdrop
    on someone’s important talk?
[11:22] ---
    What? You eavesdropped?
[11:25] ---
    Yikes!
[11:27] ---
    You idiot. Don’t talk so loud!
[11:36] ---
    Yakumo?
[11:37] ---
    Yeah. If I remember correctly,
    that’s what she said.
[11:42] ---
    I am at fault for letting Yakumo
    become like that.
[11:46] ---
    No, I’d say instead that she was
    fine up until now
[11:48] ---
    because I put her in your custody…
[11:52] ---
    Shizune, how’re the
    nursing arrangements?
[11:54] ---
    A three-man team consisting of
[11:56] ---
    two Medical Ninja and
    one Anbu Black Ops member
[11:59] ---
    are keeping a 24-hour watch over her
    in a mountain cottage near Satomi Hill.
[12:04] ---
    Even so, you can’t rest easy?
[12:06] ---
    No.
[12:08] ---
    I want to take responsibility
    in my own way.
[12:11] ---
    Speaking of Satomi Hill, this morning…
[12:17] ---
    The conditions are spot-on.
[12:21] ---
    What was the girl’s name again?
[12:23] ---
    Yakumo.
[12:24] ---
    Yakumo. Thanks, Sakura.
[12:27] ---
    Hey, Naruto.
    Don’t tell anyone I said anything!
[12:30] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[12:38] ---
    If that girl is Yakumo,
[12:40] ---
    then she might know something
    about Kurenai Sensei.
[13:13] ---
    Lee, you are not stepping in
    deep enough.
[13:15] ---
    Right.
[13:24] ---
    Kurenai Yuhi.
[13:27] ---
    I make this request with full confidence
[13:30] ---
    that you are the best practitioner
    of Genjutsu in this village.
[13:40] ---
    Could you take charge of that girl?
[13:45] ---
    Who’s this girl?
[13:48] ---
    Yakumo Kurama.
[13:50] ---
    You know about
    the Kurama Clan, don’t you?
[13:53] ---
    Yes.
[13:54] ---
    At one time, they were a clan excelling
    in Genjutsu
[13:57] ---
    and were a power in
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves
[13:59] ---
    in the same way as the Uchiha Clan.
[14:02] ---
    But they haven’t been blessed
    in recent years with talent,
[14:05] ---
    their force has weakened and
[14:08] ---
    they have not been able to
    turn out Jonin-class Shinobi.
[14:15] ---
    Yakumo Kurama is the Kurama…
[14:17] ---
    Yes… She’s the only daughter
    of the Murakumo of the head family.
[14:21] ---
    She has health issues and is
    not enrolled in the Academy.
[14:26] ---
    Then you want me to take charge of her
[14:28] ---
    and train her to be
    a practitioner of Genjutsu?
[14:30] ---
    No.
[14:31] ---
    There’s no doubt Yakumo’s latent
    Genjutsu powers are excellent.
[14:36] ---
    So much so that those in the clan
[14:38] ---
    put their dreams of rebuilding
    the family on her.
[14:43] ---
    Was there some kind of problem?
[14:46] ---
    This is just between us.
[14:50] ---
    Yes.
[14:52] ---
    Yakumo’s parents, Murakumo Kurama
    and his wife died, but…
[15:04] ---
    You okay? Don’t push yourself too hard.
[15:07] ---
    I’m okay. I’m fine.
[15:10] ---
    I’m just a bit out of breath.
[15:15] ---
    Listen to me, Yakumo.
[15:18] ---
    A Shinobi is not your only path.
[15:20] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    You’re a girl and you should
    have many other ways to live.
[15:26] ---
    I want to become a Ninja!
[15:28] ---
    I heard there’s a student named Rock Lee
    who can’t use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu
[15:33] ---
    striving to be a Ninja just with Taijutsu.
[15:37] ---
    I may not have much physical strength,
[15:40] ---
    but I could become a Ninja if I were to
    use that power, right?
[15:45] ---
    A Ninja like you, Kurenai Sensei.
[15:48] ---
    I’m not a teacher like Guy.
[15:51] ---
    Unfortunately, I cannot train you.
[16:00] ---
    All right, that’s all for today.
[16:03] ---
    Thank you very much.
[16:05] ---
    Take a bath and get a good rest.
[16:08] ---
    Right. Good-bye.
[16:17] ---
    Lee has improved again, huh?
[16:19] ---
    I heard.
    lt seems you’re quitting Squad 8.
[16:24] ---
    I have no choice.
[16:25] ---
    Those who develop under me
    end up not developing.
[16:28] ---
    It’s not like that.
[16:30] ---
    Although they’re no match for my team,
[16:33] ---
    the growth of the Genin in
    your team is striking.
[16:38] ---
    If that’s the case,
    it’s not because of my help.
[16:41] ---
    It’s the results of their own efforts.
[16:44] ---
    Hey, Kurenai.
[16:47] ---
    What do you think it is that we can do?
[16:52] ---
    As you say, Lee growing to that extent
    is due to his own efforts.
[16:59] ---
    All I did for him was to believe in him.
[17:04] ---
    We believe in our pupils even
    at the cost of our lives.
[17:09] ---
    We just need to believe in them
    with all our power,
[17:10] ---
    and embrace them with all our power.
[17:13] ---
    It’s not a difficult thing in the least.
[17:18] ---
    Guy, I envy you…
[17:21] ---
    I couldn’t even do something that simple.
[17:27] ---
    Hey, Kurenai.
[17:30] ---
    Believe in yourself!
[17:40] ---
    From where and how are Kurenai Sensei
[17:43] ---
    and that girl from
    this morning connected?
[17:47] ---
    It would seem to be worth looking into.
[18:01] ---
    That must be
    the Satomi Hill mountain cottage.
[18:05] ---
    Satomi Hill Cottage
[18:17] ---
    The east trap?
[18:18] ---
    So it seems.
[18:20] ---
    An intruder?
[18:21] ---
    Yes.
[18:26] ---
    Kurenai.
[18:28] ---
    Good work on your 24-hour guard.
    I came to visit Yakumo.
[18:33] ---
    This late at night?
[18:35] ---
    Yakumo is resting inside.
[18:38] ---
    Could you guys step away for a bit?
    I want to talk to her alone.
[18:43] ---
    Yes, ma’am.
[18:45] ---
    Don’t be long.
[18:47] ---
    I’ll be done in ten minutes.
[18:49] ---
    Fine.
[19:40] ---
    Nothing but creepy paintings.
[19:57] ---
    Please, Sensei!
[20:18] ---
    – What?! – What?!
[20:24] ---
    Whoa, my heart, my heart!
[20:30] ---
    Huh? There’s nothing wrong.
[20:33] ---
    Hey, it’s you again?!
[20:35] ---
    To think you’d transform into Kurenai
    with a Transformation Jutsu.
[20:38] ---
    Hey, what the heck was that earlier?
[20:41] ---
    Shut up! For your sake,
    don’t be nosing around needlessly.
[20:50] ---
    Hey.
[20:52] ---
    You’re Yakumo. Right?
[20:54] ---
    I want to ask you something
    about Kurenai Sensei!
[21:03] ---
    Damn it.
[21:19] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:35] ---
    Even if rains of spears were to fall,
    I will run through it
[21:39] ---
    Because I want to find the joy
    without a shape
[21:44] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:49] ---
    I will make it come true,
    even if it were to deepen my wounds
[21:53] ---
    We stand here today because of
    what we believed through,
[21:58] ---
    That is why I will continue running forward,
    never looking away
[22:03] ---
    Even if I’m told that
    there is no bright future
[22:07] ---
    I’ll change it right away,
    lighting it with all my feeling
[22:15] ---
    The wind is probably testing our hearts
[22:19] ---
    In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
[22:24] ---
    You are probably searching for
    the answer to your tears
[22:28] ---
    Your dream is always waiting near by,
    with the answers in its hands
[22:33] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[22:38] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[22:50] ---
    Why am I sleeping in a place like this?
[22:52] ---
    It’s because you trespassed
    into the cottage
[22:54] ---
    under special security, remember?!
[22:55] ---
    Oh, right.
[22:56] ---
    Geez, really…
[22:57] ---
    Just be grateful you still have your life,
    the Anbu Black Ops are on this case.
[23:00] ---
    The Anbu Black Ops?
[23:01] ---
    That’s right, I have no time for this!
[23:03] ---
    Hey Naruto, where are you going?
[23:04] ---
    Sorry Sakura, I have to ask
    Kurenai Sensei about Yakumo!
[23:10] ---
    Oh, hey wait! Naruto!
[23:11] ---
    Next time: “Yakumo's Sealed Power”
