[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
[00:39] ---
    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
[01:04] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:17] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[01:23] ---
    Our two hearts
[01:42] ---
    His music is a Ninjutsu?
[01:44] ---
    Yeah! Awesome Chakra started bursting
    throughout my body.
[01:49] ---
    My power goes up like crazy!
[01:53] ---
    That’s a rare Jutsu, isn’t it?
[01:55] ---
    Shizune, have we identified the one
    who attacked the villagers?
[01:59] ---
    No, not yet…
[02:02] ---
    Menma. I’ve once heard of
    a Jutsu similar to yours.
[02:06] ---
    – What?!
    – Is that true, Grandma?!
[02:08] ---
    I seem to recall that
    the Land of Rice Paddies has a Jutsu
[02:10] ---
    that use musical instruments as
    the catalysts.
[02:12] ---
    Land of Rice Paddies?
    You mean that Land of Rice Paddies?
[02:16] ---
    Come to think of it,
[02:17] ---
    the upper part of the mountain stream
    where Naruto found Menma was…
[02:20] ---
    Land of Rice Paddies?
[02:21] ---
    Please allow me to go there!
[02:25] ---
    But infiltrating another land
    without cause is…
[02:28] ---
    No, we do have cause!
[02:30] ---
    There might be hints there
    about Menma’s lost memory.
[02:35] ---
    I’d also like to make that request.
[02:39] ---
    Very well.
[02:40] ---
    Excellent, Grandma!
    Now you’re talking!
[02:43] ---
    Thank you.
[02:52] ---
    Bringing Back Reality
[02:58] ---
    And so we’ll be heading out for a bit.
[03:01] ---
    Right, got it.
[03:03] ---
    The special pickled bamboo shoots
    should be ready
[03:05] ---
    by the time you guys get back.
[03:07] ---
    I can’t wait. Bye!
[03:17] ---
    Really, there’s no real need
    for you guys to come.
[03:20] ---
    We have no choice. It’s a mission.
[03:23] ---
    Our mission is to accompany you guys!
[03:28] ---
    Now that it’s settled…
[03:30] ---
    Let’s get to the Land of Rice Paddies!
[03:33] ---
    Right.
[03:34] ---
    – Naruto. – Huh?
[03:36] ---
    You stay here.
[03:37] ---
    Huh?
[03:40] ---
    What do you want, Grandma?
[03:42] ---
    If you’re any kind of sorry excuse
    for a Shinobi, you should know.
[03:45] ---
    What?
[03:46] ---
    I’m talking about Menma.
    lf that kid is a…
[03:49] ---
    No way is he a bad guy.
[03:52] ---
    I know he’s not a bad person.
[03:54] ---
    But can you state flatly that
    he’s not an enemy spy?
[03:58] ---
    What’re you driving at, Grandma?!
[04:00] ---
    You couldn’t have forgotten.
[04:03] ---
    The Village Hidden in Sound
    in the Land of Rice Paddies
[04:05] ---
    is the place where Orochimaru
    once hid himself.
[04:08] ---
    Well, I…
[04:12] ---
    I…remember that, but…
[04:15] ---
    Menma’s Jutsu is strikingly similar to that
    of the opponent Shikamaru fought
[04:18] ---
    when Sasuke was taken away.
[04:21] ---
    There’s no denying there’s a chance
[04:23] ---
    he’s affiliated with
    the Hidden Sound Village.
[04:26] ---
    And if he remembers something and
    that was to become a threat to this land…
[04:37] ---
    No way could Menma be an enemy…
    That just can’t be!
[04:53] ---
    We’ll leave you behind if you dawdle!
[04:56] ---
    Naruto, I’m going on ahead!
[05:16] ---
    Are you hurt?
[05:17] ---
    No… Thanks for the help.
[05:21] ---
    You were going a bit too fast.
[05:23] ---
    Let’s take a break.
[05:32] ---
    What the heck’s wrong?!
[05:35] ---
    Who in the world is he?
[05:37] ---
    We’re going to investigate
    because we don’t know that.
[05:41] ---
    I was running at full speed earlier.
[05:44] ---
    Losing my footing on the branch
    after that was on purpose, though…
[05:47] ---
    What?
[05:48] ---
    Not only did he keep up with my speed,
[05:51] ---
    but he even showed
    the composure to save me.
[05:55] ---
    He is better than us in terms of speed.
[06:00] ---
    He’d be a troublesome opponent
    if we end up fighting.
[06:03] ---
    Wha--?
    Hey, hey, wait a minute.
[06:06] ---
    He’s not an enemy!
[06:08] ---
    He risks his life to rescue babies.
[06:10] ---
    And he’s the kind of guy who,
    if left on his own,
[06:12] ---
    would help those in trouble all day!
[06:24] ---
    That’s a nice sound.
[06:26] ---
    I still hadn’t thanked you
    for fixing this for me.
[06:30] ---
    Don’t worry about it.
[06:34] ---
    Hey!
[06:36] ---
    Stop playing that right now!
[06:38] ---
    If you don’t…
[06:41] ---
    Neji. What’s the big idea?!
[06:43] ---
    You keep quiet!
[06:45] ---
    What?!
[06:46] ---
    It’s as Neji says.
[06:48] ---
    That might’ve been
    a signal to an enemy!
[06:51] ---
    A signal?
[06:52] ---
    Lady Tsunade approved this mission
    because the suspicious person
[06:55] ---
    who entered the village the other day
    still hasn’t been caught!
[06:59] ---
    If that intruder has followed Menma…
[07:03] ---
    he should be close to us now.
[07:06] ---
    No way…
[07:08] ---
    As of this point, he hasn’t shown
    his presence, though.
[07:10] ---
    Our mission is to accompany Naruto,
[07:12] ---
    verify his identity and
    to capture the intruder!
[07:17] ---
    Sorry, but I don’t trust you!
[07:22] ---
    That’s right…
    lt’s natural I’d be thought of like that…
[07:28] ---
    I think about this
    from time to time…
[07:30] ---
    What kind of a person was I?
[07:33] ---
    What would I do if I were
    a bad person…?
[07:37] ---
    Naruto, what kind of person would
    you want to be if you were reborn?
[07:41] ---
    Wh-What’s this all of a sudden?
[07:43] ---
    I’m speaking figuratively…
[07:46] ---
    I’ve never thought about it.
[07:48] ---
    I see…
[07:49] ---
    But why do you ask
    something like that?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, no special reason…
[07:57] ---
    What is it?
[07:58] ---
    What’s this smell?
[08:01] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    it smells like something’s burning.
[08:04] ---
    Over there.
[08:05] ---
    Let’s go.
[08:12] ---
    The smell came from here…
[08:16] ---
    Was there a fire or something…?
[08:40] ---
    Is something wrong?
[08:42] ---
    No…
[08:43] ---
    It’s nothing.
[09:00] ---
    Don’t move. I’ll fire if you move.
[09:02] ---
    What’s the deal all of a sudden?
[09:04] ---
    Are you their minions?
[09:06] ---
    “Their”?
[09:08] ---
    You’ll die here if
    you’re comrades of theirs.
[09:10] ---
    For crying out loud, who are they?!
[09:13] ---
    If you say you’re not,
    then show me some proof!
[09:15] ---
    Proof, why? We’re Leaf Shinobi.
[09:19] ---
    Hidden Leaf Village?
[09:20] ---
    See? Look at this.
[09:22] ---
    Indeed that is…
[09:26] ---
    What do Leaf Shinobi want
    in a place like this?
[09:28] ---
    Well, we just happened
    to be passing through and…
[09:32] ---
    As you can see, there’s nothing here.
[09:35] ---
    If you don’t have business here,
    just beat it.
[09:37] ---
    If you don’t,
    we can’t guarantee your life.
[09:39] ---
    What’s with him talking all big?!
[09:42] ---
    Here, he was the one
    who picked the fight.
[09:49] ---
    Once we’ve had our breather,
[09:51] ---
    let’s blow this joint and go look
    for Menma’s memory.
[09:55] ---
    R-Right…
[09:56] ---
    What? Did you remember something?
[09:58] ---
    No…
[10:00] ---
    Who’s there? Come on out.
[10:15] ---
    Hello.
[10:22] ---
    Y-You guys are Ninja, right?
[10:25] ---
    I heard what you were talking
    about earlier…
[10:27] ---
    Oh, well, I don’t want to brag, but…
[10:30] ---
    If you’re talking about Naruto Uzumaki
    from Hidden Leaf Village,
[10:32] ---
    I’m pretty well known.
[10:34] ---
    Really? I’m sorry, I didn’t know.
[10:38] ---
    Why did you go to the trouble
    of following us?
[10:40] ---
    Umm… I had a favor to ask…
[10:43] ---
    My older brother said
    what he did earlier, but…
[10:46] ---
    Older brother?!
[10:47] ---
    That jerk from earlier?
[10:49] ---
    We need someone to save our village!
[10:57] ---
    A person to save your village…?
[10:59] ---
    What do you mean?
[11:00] ---
    This was the border of
    the Land of Rice Paddies.
[11:04] ---
    But…
[11:05] ---
    as our land had caused trouble
    for other lands,
[11:09] ---
    this area was turned into
    a demilitarized zone.
[11:13] ---
    Are you talking about
    that thing in question…?
[11:15] ---
    It must be the incident
    involving Orochimaru.
[11:17] ---
    That’s how things were settled
    with all the neighboring lands, huh?
[11:21] ---
    But if it’s a demilitarized zone,
    there won’t be any territorial dispute, right?
[11:25] ---
    That’s right.
[11:27] ---
    It’s not like that.
[11:29] ---
    There’s a small mine
    in the hills behind the village
[11:31] ---
    and a little bit of gold can be dug up.
[11:34] ---
    Once it was discovered that mine is not
    being supervised by a proprietary land,
[11:36] ---
    bandits started coming with
    their eyes on the gold…
[11:39] ---
    No matter how often we asked
    the feudal lord,
[11:42] ---
    he would insist that, “Agreements between
    fellow lands must not be broken.”
[11:46] ---
    And the village…
[11:49] ---
    It was attacked by bandits, right?
[11:51] ---
    They withdrew in the middle of it
    due to a terrible storm before.
[11:56] ---
    But they’ll definitely be back.
[11:58] ---
    I beg you. Please save our village.
[12:01] ---
    You guys could fight them!
[12:04] ---
    All right! Got it…
[12:05] ---
    I’m sorry.
[12:06] ---
    We can understand the situation,
    but we can’t cooperate.
[12:09] ---
    Huh? What’re you saying, Neji?!
[12:12] ---
    We’re in the middle of a mission!
[12:14] ---
    We can’t act unless
    we have an official order from the village!
[12:17] ---
    But…
[12:18] ---
    Besides, we don’t know
    when the bandits will be back.
[12:21] ---
    We can’t just strand
    ourselves here forever!
[12:25] ---
    Damn it…
[12:26] ---
    I see…
[12:27] ---
    What’re you doing Ran,
    even bringing Fuki here?
[12:30] ---
    Big Brother…
[12:32] ---
    Don’t get involved with them.
    There’s no such thing as a good Ninja.
[12:35] ---
    Say what?!
[12:37] ---
    I just stated the truth.
[12:39] ---
    The rumor has it that the guys who
    attacked the village were Rogue Shinobi
[12:41] ---
    from the Hidden Sound Village.
[12:42] ---
    Huh? The bandits are Ninja?
[12:46] ---
    Come this way.
[12:50] ---
    Look at that.
[12:53] ---
    Wh-What’s this?!
[12:54] ---
    One-third of the villagers were killed
    in the attack the other day.
[12:58] ---
    Half of the rest abandoned
    the village and fled.
[13:02] ---
    Then you guys should also evacuate…
[13:04] ---
    Where are we supposed to flee?!
[13:06] ---
    This is ancestral land
    that’s been handed down to us
[13:08] ---
    and that we’ve cultivated.
[13:10] ---
    Why should we have to flee from that?!
[13:12] ---
    Each time the hooligans
    brandish their power,
[13:14] ---
    we have to accept it like
    a natural disaster and do nothing?!
[13:16] ---
    Are we to just flee from place to place?!
[13:18] ---
    Don’t shout, Big Brother.
[13:21] ---
    Fuki will get scared.
[13:24] ---
    I’m sorry I shouted…
[13:28] ---
    Her parents were killed by bandits
    and she lost her ability to speak.
[13:34] ---
    There’s no place for us to escape.
[13:37] ---
    If that’s clear, then beat it already.
[13:42] ---
    We have no choice.
    Let’s hurry on ahead.
[13:47] ---
    I’m staying here.
[13:49] ---
    Huh?
[13:51] ---
    I want to be of use if
    those people are in trouble.
[13:54] ---
    Menma!
[13:55] ---
    Hey, you don’t even know
    the scale of the bandits.
[13:59] ---
    If you want to help them,
    no matter what,
[14:01] ---
    then we should go back
    to the village and…
[14:02] ---
    We don’t know when they might attack.
[14:05] ---
    We don’t have the time
    to return to the village!
[14:06] ---
    Then, I’m staying, too!
[14:09] ---
    Naruto! Anything further than this
    is beyond the scope of the mission!
[14:12] ---
    This isn’t beyond the scope
    of the mission!
[14:14] ---
    I get the feeling I’ll be able to
    remember something if I stay here.
[14:17] ---
    Don’t say irresponsible things!
[14:19] ---
    You couldn’t remember anything
    just a moment ago…
[14:22] ---
    That’s too convenient!
[14:23] ---
    It can’t be helped, right?
    Menma himself is saying so.
[14:28] ---
    He’s good-natured to a fault!
[14:31] ---
    Naruto…
[14:33] ---
    Let’s go, Menma.
[14:34] ---
    Right.
[14:35] ---
    Hey, Naruto!
[14:36] ---
    We’ll deal with the bandits.
[14:39] ---
    You guys go on back
    to the village ahead.
[14:42] ---
    What do we do, Neji?!
[14:44] ---
    Leave them be.
[14:46] ---
    It’s unlikely the villagers will
    accept Naruto and Menma.
[14:49] ---
    You’ve got a point…
[14:53] ---
    It seems the settlement on the other side
    has escaped damage, huh?
[14:56] ---
    But how’re we supposed to protect
    the village just the two of us…?
[15:00] ---
    Let’s build a wall along this creek.
    This river will play the role of a moat.
[15:05] ---
    Ultimately we’ll make a temporary bridge
[15:07] ---
    and have the entrance to the village
    in just one location.
[15:09] ---
    I get it…
[15:11] ---
    I don’t know how effective it’ll be,
[15:13] ---
    but let’s just do the best
    we can now.
[15:15] ---
    Right.
[15:44] ---
    What’re you doing? I told you to get out.
[15:47] ---
    We won’t get out!
[15:50] ---
    What did you say?!
[15:51] ---
    We decided to protect
    the village on our own.
[15:55] ---
    Nobody asked you to do that.
    lt’s none of your business!
[15:58] ---
    You may say that,
[16:00] ---
    but you can’t beat them off
    by just hiding in your houses!
[16:06] ---
    All right, let’s stabilize it with a stake.
[16:08] ---
    Got it…
[16:52] ---
    Jeez, what can they do
    just the two of them?!
[17:01] ---
    I’m ready…
[17:02] ---
    Okay.
[17:14] ---
    Tenten! You’re still here?!
[17:16] ---
    Can’t you at least say thanks first?
[17:20] ---
    Thanks, Tenten.
[17:22] ---
    Come on, Naruto. Hold it down right.
[17:25] ---
    R-Right…
[17:34] ---
    You are…
[17:36] ---
    For me?
[17:38] ---
    Then I’ll help myself.
[17:41] ---
    Have this, too.
[17:43] ---
    I’ll help out, too.
[18:42] ---
    You’re mine!
[18:43] ---
    Not yet!
[18:47] ---
    That technique!
[18:50] ---
    It’s from that time!
[18:53] ---
    Neji! You…
[18:55] ---
    It’s our mission this time around
    to catch this guy.
[18:59] ---
    Heh! This guy’s formidable.
[19:14] ---
    Damn it!
[19:16] ---
    He’s quick to escape!
[19:31] ---
    Naruto!
[19:44] ---
    The sound waves pierced my whole
    Chakra Network all at once
[19:46] ---
    and amplified the flow of Chakra?
[19:48] ---
    I won’t lose to the likes of this guy
    if I have this Jutsu!
[20:12] ---
    This is to avenge everyone.
[20:15] ---
    Eat this!
[20:17] ---
    You’re in my way!
[20:25] ---
    Menma!
[20:30] ---
    Menma! Menma!
[20:32] ---
    Carry him to the village.
[20:34] ---
    Manma! Hang in there!
[20:36] ---
    Boiling water and alcohol!
[20:37] ---
    All right.
[20:40] ---
    Are you going to treat him?
[20:42] ---
    I may not look it,
    but I’ve played at being a doctor.
[20:45] ---
    We’ll save you now, Menma.
[20:49] ---
    What’s the matter?
[20:55] ---
    I cannot treat this guy…
[20:58] ---
    Wh-Why not?!
[21:01] ---
    This mark…
[21:03] ---
    He’s a comrade of a guy
    who attacked here…!
[21:18] ---
    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
[22:18] ---
    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
[22:37] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by

    Menma is not a member of the bandits.
[22:53] ---
    I mean, he loves helping people!
[22:56] ---
    He’s a type of guy who would even risk
    his own life in order to save a kid!
[23:01] ---
    For this village too,
[23:03] ---
    he has worked hard, so hard,
    even though no one really asked for it.
[23:07] ---
    He’s got to have some kind of reason.
[23:09] ---
    So please save Menma!

    Next time: “A Past to Be Erased”
