[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] ---
