**[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
**[00:57] ---**
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
**[02:55] ---**
–Monju. –Yes, sir.
**[03:17] ---**
Darn, didn’t know there was a kid here.
**[03:19] ---**
I’ll do it.
**[03:21] ---**
Okay, it’s in your hands, Gantetsu.
**[03:37] ---**
Okay. Let’s pull out!
**[03:40] ---**
Set this place on fire!
**[03:43] ---**
Don’t leave any evidence.
**[04:12] ---**
The Enemy: Ninja Dropouts
**[04:22] ---**
Wait up!
**[04:24] ---**
Over here! You’re it. Try catching me!
**[04:27] ---**
Darn…
**[04:29] ---**
–Yeah! –This way! This way!
**[04:31] ---**
I said wait!
**[04:38] ---**
Lady Tsunade…
**[04:40] ---**
With regard to the next request…
**[04:42] ---**
What, there’s more?
**[04:44] ---**
Yes.
**[04:46] ---**
Boy oh boy…
**[04:48] ---**
This is the last one
so please try to focus.
**[04:51] ---**
All right.
**[04:55] ---**
When the weather continues
to be warm like this…
**[04:58] ---**
And what’s the request?
**[05:00] ---**
About the escort for the convoy with
the fugitive who was secured…
**[05:04] ---**
What about it,
that’s hardly a difficult mission.
**[05:08] ---**
Well, actually there’s a bit
of a problem.
**[05:11] ---**
Please look at this.
**[05:15] ---**
I see. This is somewhat of
a nuisance.
**[05:19] ---**
All of the Jonin are out
on S-rank missions,
**[05:22] ---**
and 90% of the main Chunin and Genin
have been allocated elsewhere.
**[05:27] ---**
Who’s left?
**[05:28] ---**
Let’s see…well…
**[05:36] ---**
Multi-Clone Jutsu!
**[05:50] ---**
Let’s go, Bushy Brows!
**[06:07] ---**
Here goes, Naruto!
**[06:12] ---**
Leaf Hurricane!
**[06:15] ---**
You jerk!
**[06:17] ---**
Another serving of
Shadow Clones for you!
**[06:25] ---**
You ain’t seen nothing yet!
**[06:34] ---**
You let your guard down!
**[06:45] ---**
Pretty good, Bushy Brow…
**[06:48] ---**
The same to you, Naruto…
**[06:49] ---**
Naruto! Lee!
**[07:10] ---**
Hey, are you guys all right?
**[07:17] ---**
Hey, stop moving.
**[07:19] ---**
Sakura, can’t you be
a little more gentle?
**[07:22] ---**
Shut your mouth.
Really, you’re being reckless.
**[07:26] ---**
That’s not true, Sakura.
**[07:28] ---**
See, the 100-man
Shadow Clone grapples
**[07:30] ---**
are excellent training
for enhancing one’s Taijutsu skills.
**[07:34] ---**
It’s like killing two birds with
one stone for Naruto, too
**[07:37] ---**
because this kind of friendly training
lets him polish
**[07:39] ---**
his Shadow Clone skills
at the same time.
**[07:41] ---**
That’s exactly right.
**[07:43] ---**
What are you talking about?
All you’re doing is slugging it out.
**[07:47] ---**
This is what ends up happening
when two guys get together.
**[07:50] ---**
That’s right.
**[07:54] ---**
Anyway, this isn’t the time to be
acting carefree like that.
**[07:58] ---**
Lady Tsunade is calling for you.
**[08:00] ---**
Grandma Tsunade?
**[08:01] ---**
What does she want?
**[08:06] ---**
Ninja Dropouts?
**[08:08] ---**
Yeah. Ninja Dropouts are
**[08:10] ---**
Rogue Ninja who,
of their own free will,
**[08:12] ---**
choose not to be Shinobi and leave
their respective villages to join up.
**[08:16] ---**
They’re a gang of thieves who use brutal
and villainous means to steal.
**[08:20] ---**
That’s horrible…using their abilities
as Ninja for criminal purposes.
**[08:24] ---**
That’s unforgivable.
**[08:26] ---**
One of their members was
captured yesterday
**[08:29] ---**
in Ogi Pass
in the Land of Forests.
**[08:31] ---**
This guy is the only member
**[08:32] ---**
whose wanted notice is
circling around the lands.
**[08:36] ---**
He was found wandering about
and taken prisoner.
**[08:39] ---**
His name is Gantetsu.
**[08:44] ---**
For a former Ninja,
that’s pretty lame.
**[08:46] ---**
Gantesu is being taken to
the capital city of the Land of Forests
**[08:49] ---**
in order to do an exhaustive investigation
into this matter
**[08:52] ---**
for the purpose of wiping out
the Ninja Dropouts…
**[08:55] ---**
However, there is a possibility
that the Ninja Dropouts will try
**[08:57] ---**
to rescue him along the way…
**[08:59] ---**
A police escort has been sent
from the capital
**[09:02] ---**
so it is fully prepared for the convoy.
**[09:05] ---**
But since the opponents are ex-Ninja,
**[09:07] ---**
the idea is that Shinobi would be
the best countermeasure for Shinobi,
**[09:09] ---**
so they requested that the Leaf Village
also send out some Ninja.
**[09:12] ---**
That’s what this request is all about.
**[09:14] ---**
I’m getting excited! I’ll show ‘em
how great Leaf Ninja are!
**[09:18] ---**
–Got it!
–Let’s give it a shot!
**[09:21] ---**
All right! Naruto Uzumaki,
Sakura Haruno, Rock Lee.
**[09:25] ---**
The three of you are assigned
to the mission
**[09:27] ---**
of guarding the Gantetsu convoy!
**[09:29] ---**
–Yes, ma’am! –Roger!
**[09:37] ---**
Look, the harbor.
**[09:47] ---**
Huh… So they’re gonna
transport him in this.
**[09:50] ---**
The only way to get to the capital
of the Land of Forests is
**[09:53] ---**
to go up this river.
**[09:56] ---**
Hey, look over there.
**[10:02] ---**
That’s…
**[10:03] ---**
The Ninja Dropout, Gantetsu.
**[10:06] ---**
Are you the Leaf Ninja?
**[10:07] ---**
Yes. Uh, and who are you?
**[10:10] ---**
I’m Tsuzumi with the police department.
**[10:12] ---**
I’m supervising this convoy.
**[10:14] ---**
My name is Naruto Uzumaki.
**[10:16] ---**
This guy here’s Bushy Brows and
her name is Sakura Haruno.
**[10:21] ---**
Hmmm… You guys are still kids…
Are you really Ninja?
**[10:27] ---**
We sure are.
**[10:28] ---**
Huh, we might not look it,
**[10:30] ---**
but we’re all full-fledged Ninja who’ve
been tested by fire numerous times.
**[10:34] ---**
We’ll display our skills for you
at some point.
**[10:38] ---**
Just leave it to us.
**[10:39] ---**
Well, I have a strong team of
experts handling security,
**[10:43] ---**
but if it ever comes to that,
**[10:45] ---**
I’m counting on you to use
your specialty, Ninjutsu.
**[10:47] ---**
Got it.
**[10:49] ---**
Those are the security personnel
guarding the prisoner.
**[10:57] ---**
They’re all dressed alike, aren’t they?
**[10:59] ---**
Huh, they don’t have much style.
**[11:02] ---**
Naruto, that’s rude.
**[11:11] ---**
Captain Todoroki!
**[11:12] ---**
What is it, Commander Tsuzumi?
**[11:15] ---**
These people came from
**[11:16] ---**
the Village Hidden in the Leaves
as reinforcements.
**[11:18] ---**
The name’s Naruto Uzumaki.
**[11:20] ---**
I’m Sakura Haruno.
**[11:21] ---**
My name is Rock Lee.
**[11:25] ---**
Commander, I told you already.
**[11:27] ---**
We already have enough security on this.
**[11:30] ---**
Can’t be helped.
lt’s something the bosses decided.
**[11:34] ---**
There won’t be any role for
you guys to play.
**[11:37] ---**
We will guard Gantetsu.
**[11:39] ---**
I promise that on this sword.
**[11:43] ---**
Huh… That sword’s nothing.
**[11:45] ---**
Snapping that thing in half would be
as easy as apple pie.
**[11:49] ---**
Yeah, with just one finger.
**[11:50] ---**
Stop it, you guys!
Please excuse them…
**[11:54] ---**
Be careful not to get seasick.
**[11:57] ---**
Well, I leave it to you.
**[11:59] ---**
Y-Yes, sir. Thanks.
**[12:07] ---**
Gantetsu…
**[12:10] ---**
All right…
**[12:11] ---**
Put the cage into the belly of the ship!
**[12:13] ---**
Okay…Okay…
**[12:19] ---**
Okay, lower it!
**[12:47] ---**
Wow…
**[12:48] ---**
This feels great!
**[13:23] ---**
What the heck is this anyway?
**[13:25] ---**
They won’t let us even get near him.
**[13:27] ---**
They’re totally treating us like nuisances.
**[13:30] ---**
If only those Ninja Dropout guys
would launch an attack,
**[13:32] ---**
we could show them how awesome
we are.
**[13:35] ---**
Don’t say stupid things like that.
**[13:37] ---**
The best scenario would be that
the Ninja Dropout won’t show up at all.
**[13:40] ---**
Our mission is to transport Gantetsu
safely to the capital, you know.
**[13:45] ---**
But this is getting too boring…
there’s no thrill to it.
**[13:50] ---**
Better just grin and bear it.
**[13:51] ---**
There are missions like this too.
**[13:52] ---**
Well, I sure understand
how you feel, Naruto.
**[13:56] ---**
Yeah… I guess this is getting
a little boring.
**[14:31] ---**
Dig in…
**[14:36] ---**
Gimme a break…
**[14:38] ---**
Who do those guys think we are?
**[14:40] ---**
But this stuff is pretty good.
**[14:42] ---**
Yeah, very tasty.
**[14:44] ---**
It makes me so mad…
**[14:48] ---**
I mean, why did we go to all
the trouble of coming all this way?
**[14:56] ---**
I’m gonna do my mission.
**[14:57] ---**
Gonna stand guard over Gantetsu.
**[14:59] ---**
But the captain’s gonna scold you.
**[15:02] ---**
I’m doing this out of Ninja pride!
**[15:05] ---**
Uh, Naruto!
**[15:06] ---**
Naruto!
**[15:27] ---**
He does have the face of
a criminal after all.
**[15:37] ---**
Todoroki?
**[15:39] ---**
What the heck is he doing here?
**[15:46] ---**
Akio…!
**[15:59] ---**
Damn!
**[16:04] ---**
Father! Mother!
**[16:19] ---**
Akio…
**[16:25] ---**
Akio!
**[16:53] ---**
Damn!
**[16:59] ---**
Akio…!
**[17:03] ---**
I will avenge your death right now!
**[17:19] ---**
Oh!
**[17:20] ---**
What the heck are you doing?!
**[17:23] ---**
Are you in your right mind?
**[17:28] ---**
What was it you were about
to do just now?!
**[17:44] ---**
Ninja Art: Crimson Mud.
**[18:14] ---**
Oh?
**[18:15] ---**
What’s the matter, Sakura?
**[18:17] ---**
Lee, over there.
**[18:25] ---**
That’s strange…
**[18:26] ---**
I’ve never knew this river has a tributary.
**[18:31] ---**
Why are you in here?
**[18:34] ---**
Why does that matter?
**[18:36] ---**
What were you about to do to Gantetsu!?
**[18:40] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[18:42] ---**
It looked to me like
you were going to kill him.
**[18:44] ---**
Huh? Me?
That’s a stupid thing to say.
**[18:48] ---**
It’s my mission to guard this guy.
Why would I?!
**[18:52] ---**
Yeah, I guess.
**[18:53] ---**
Even if he is a criminal,
**[18:55] ---**
you can’t just kill him off
without interrogating him first.
**[18:59] ---**
A brat talking like he knows, huh?
**[19:02] ---**
There isn’t any need to interrogate him!
**[19:04] ---**
This is the guy who did it!
**[19:05] ---**
Huh?
**[19:07] ---**
This guy…
**[19:08] ---**
These guys…slaughtered a lot of people
without mercy…
**[19:14] ---**
Even innocent children.
**[19:24] ---**
If things continue like this,
we’ll be sucked into the tributary…
**[19:27] ---**
What should we do?!
**[19:35] ---**
Ninja Art: Link and Slay.
**[19:59] ---**
What the heck?!
**[20:01] ---**
Wh-What is this?
**[20:07] ---**
Th-The ship’s been sliced in half…
**[20:16] ---**
Naruto!
**[20:17] ---**
Naruto!
**[20:27] ---**
You jerk!
**[20:31] ---**
It’s them! The Ninja Dropouts!
**[20:34] ---**
So they showed up after all…
**[20:40] ---**
Gantetsu…
**[20:48] ---**
Reinforcements, huh?!
**[20:49] ---**
Hey, who are you guys anyway!
**[20:53] ---**
The head of the Ninja Dropouts,
Shura, on the scene!
**[21:00] ---**
Ninja Dropouts…
**[21:01] ---**
We’ll take Gantetsu…
**[21:04] ---**
I’m not about to let that happen!
**[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
**[21:54] ---**
We stand here today because of
what we believed through,
**[21:59] ---**
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
**[22:51] ---**
Lee, are you all right?
**[22:52] ---**
Yes, somehow.
More importantly, what happened?
**[22:55] ---**
I don’t know.
**[22:57] ---**
Only thing I know is that after
that huge crash,
**[22:59] ---**
suddenly the ship was sliced in two…
**[23:00] ---**
I see.
**[23:02] ---**
Well then, we need to confirm everyone’s
safety for the moment…
**[23:04] ---**
Well…
**[23:06] ---**
What’s wrong, Sakura?
**[23:07] ---**
I can’t find the prisoner, Gantetsu,
Captain Todoroki, and Naruto.
**[23:13] ---**
