[00:32] ---
    Gaara.
[00:33] ---
    Kankuro.
[00:35] ---
    Gaara.
[00:37] ---
    Primary Lotus!
[00:43] ---
    Damn it! Can’t hold any further.
[00:49] ---
    You can’t even howl like a loser?
[00:56] ---
    Die!
[00:58] ---
    You’re mine!
[01:00] ---
    Don't you be smiling
    before you're going to die!
[01:12] ---
    What?!
[01:21] ---
    Who’re you?!
[01:27] ---
    Heh… It seems
    you’re an ally this time…
[01:40] ---
    Who are you?!
[01:42] ---
    A Sand…
[01:45] ---
    …Shinobi…
[01:47] ---
    …ally of the Leaf!
[02:02] ---
    Well, be careful going home.
[02:06] ---
    Okay.
[02:11] ---
    If something happens again,
    I’ll come to your rescue again…
[02:14] ---
    Just let me know, crybaby.
[02:17] ---
    You always say too much.
    That’s why girls are…
[02:28] ---
    I’ll return the favor twice the amount
    from that time.
[02:46] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru.
    What’s the matter?
[02:49] ---
    We’ll stand by here for a while.
[02:51] ---
    Stand by?
[02:52] ---
    We don’t have time fooling around
    in a place like this!
[02:56] ---
    Be quiet for a second, Naruto.
[02:59] ---
    That’s right.
    Shikamaru’s got a proper plan.
[03:03] ---
    Right, right. Naruto, you have to
    be sure to obey the leader.
[03:09] ---
    Fine.
[03:27] ---
    Shino, I’m counting on you.
[03:30] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[03:56] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[04:02] ---
    because we were always together
[04:09] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[04:14] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[04:20] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[04:27] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[04:34] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[04:46] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[04:53] ---
    Our two hearts
[05:12] ---
    Sand Alliance with the Leaf Shinobi
[05:19] ---
    So, Kujaku? What’s going on
    with our pursuers?
[05:22] ---
    Yeah, we went to the trouble of
    leaving footprints as we go.
[05:26] ---
    We need them to follow.
[05:34] ---
    It’ll be okay. They’ll be within
    firing range immediately!
[05:38] ---
    There are three pursuers.
    One of them is Gaara!
[05:41] ---
    As for the extra two, we'll leave one
    for each respectively
[05:44] ---
    and deal with them with
    One Shinobi, One Kill…
[05:46] ---
    I’ll isolate Gaara and drive him into
    the Reverse Scale Position.
[05:50] ---
    I’ll take the first person.
[05:52] ---
    All right, go.
[06:07] ---
    It's not necessary to drive him
    into the Reverse Scale Position.
[06:11] ---
    There are only three of them.
    I can handle them by myself.
[06:18] ---
    Flying Kujaku Double Edge Sword:
[06:21] ---
    Whirlwind!
[06:26] ---
    What?!
[06:28] ---
    What is this?
[06:30] ---
    A wind user, huh?
[06:33] ---
    Interesting!
[06:52] ---
    – Splendid.
    – Not bad, Temari.
[06:54] ---
    Naturally.
[06:56] ---
    Not half bad.
[07:07] ---
    To think you’d blow away my Whirlwind.
[07:10] ---
    What, you’re still just a kid?
[07:15] ---
    – You guys go on ahead.
    – What?
[07:17] ---
    Hey, Temari. You okay with this?
[07:20] ---
    Will you be okay?
[07:21] ---
    Well, we’re fellow wind users.
[07:24] ---
    I should be able to handle her alone.
[07:28] ---
    Hurry, Gaara.
[07:30] ---
    She’s your student, right?
[07:33] ---
    Thanks.
[07:34] ---
    – I’m counting on you.
    – Be careful.
[07:36] ---
    Right.
[07:37] ---
    You won’t get away.
[07:39] ---
    I’m your opponent.
[07:41] ---
    Cyclone Scythe Jutsu.
[07:48] ---
    Wind Slash.
[07:57] ---
    This wind is…
[07:59] ---
    These double swords alter the wind
    at my will to suit the attacks
[08:03] ---
    and amplify the power to the extreme.
[08:06] ---
    It’s too late to regret.
[08:08] ---
    I only need a little bit of Chakra
    as long as I have these swords.
[08:11] ---
    How long can you pesevere with
    the limited Chakra you have?
[08:15] ---
    How about testing that out?
[08:22] ---
    Matsuri.
[08:26] ---
    We caught up.
[08:29] ---
    Where are we?
[08:31] ---
    So you’re awake?
[08:34] ---
    Heh. You’re like prey plunged on
    a branch by a shrike.
[08:37] ---
    You’re the bait to lure him out.
[08:39] ---
    What?
[08:43] ---
    Gaara Sensei.
[08:50] ---
    Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[08:57] ---
    What?
[09:06] ---
    Darn it.
[09:17] ---
    Did you see that? This is the Dragon Eye:
    Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[09:22] ---
    You’re just a kid!
[09:27] ---
    I see.
[09:28] ---
    It’s an adjustable sword with daggers
[09:31] ---
    connected by an iron wire
    going through the center.
[09:35] ---
    Like a Bamboo Snake?
    How nostalgic.
[09:38] ---
    I used one a lot with puppet games
    when I was a kid.
[09:44] ---
    It can look like a living snake
    depending on how it’s controlled.
[09:47] ---
    But there’s no point
    once it’s been identified.
[09:51] ---
    Though we both use Puppets,
    compared to mine, it’s just a kid’s toy.
[09:55] ---
    Go, Gaara.
[09:56] ---
    Can I leave it to you?
[09:58] ---
    Yeah. I don’t need your help for this.
    I’ll catch up right away.
[10:02] ---
    I’m counting on you.
[10:04] ---
    Now, bring it on. I’ll play with you.
[10:07] ---
    What’re you doing acting tough?
[10:09] ---
    You’ll die if you take me lightly!
[10:12] ---
    That goes for you!
[10:15] ---
    Then die, Kabuki makeup jerk!
[10:19] ---
    Here I go.
[10:39] ---
    That’s no good.
[10:40] ---
    Come on, that was too easy.
[10:52] ---
    Too bad. This sword
    isn’t just an adjustable sword.
[10:57] ---
    The sword itself amplifies Chakra
    in response to my Chakra
[11:01] ---
    and changes into the form of a dragon.
[11:04] ---
    Gaara, I’m sorry.
    This might take a little time.
[11:11] ---
    Suiko, you ambush him here.
[11:14] ---
    Draw him into
    the Reverse Scale Position. Got it?
[11:17] ---
    Yeah…
[11:32] ---
    You won’t get through here.
[11:35] ---
    Gaara, fight me.
[11:37] ---
    Very well.
[11:39] ---
    Bring it.
[11:58] ---
    Hey, Shikamaru. How long are we
    going to stay like this?
[12:01] ---
    Shut up. There are many difficulties
    with ambushes.
[12:06] ---
    Right now, Shino, Neji and Hinata
    are taking on those difficulties for us.
[12:11] ---
    What? They are?
[12:23] ---
    Did you find them?
[12:24] ---
    Byakugan!
[12:37] ---
    In that direction, right?
[12:39] ---
    Byakugan!
[12:54] ---
    Got it. There are three battle areas.
[13:10] ---
    It’s the scent bag of
    the female Parasitic Insects.
[13:12] ---
    With this, the insects will find you
    no matter where you go.
[13:16] ---
    Right. I’m counting on you, Shino.
[13:19] ---
    Then, we’ll be going on ahead.
[13:21] ---
    Be careful!
[13:23] ---
    Oh, information has arrived.
[13:26] ---
    I was getting sick of waiting!
[13:28] ---
    All right, I’m counting on you guys.
[13:36] ---
    This is bad.
    lt’s already begun.
[13:39] ---
    All right, Kiba and Choji,
    you take the western forest.
[13:43] ---
    Ino and I will take the northeastern hills.
[13:45] ---
    Naruto and Lee, you take
    the northwestern forest.
[13:49] ---
    We’ll take on back-up
    in two-man cells.
[13:52] ---
    Now then, let’s begin
    the favor-returning operation.
[13:56] ---
    – Right. – Right.
[13:58] ---
    I was waiting for this time!
[14:00] ---
    Scatter.
[14:14] ---
    What is it?
[14:15] ---
    Hold up.
[14:19] ---
    If the guys who are fleeing will take on
    pursuers with One Shinobi, One Kill,
[14:24] ---
    the battle area not being
    a straight line means…
[14:28] ---
    Could it be a Barrier?
[14:30] ---
    What?
[14:31] ---
    Just to be safe.
[14:46] ---
    That should do it. Let’s go.
[14:48] ---
    Right.
[15:07] ---
    Now, there’s nowhere left to hide.
    What will you do?
[15:12] ---
    To think she’d evade all of my attacks.
[15:16] ---
    Since it’s come to this, I’ve just got to
    use that technique!
[15:22] ---
    Wind Style: Sea Dragon!
[15:29] ---
    What’s that? Nothing’s happening.
[15:34] ---
    How pitiful. It seems the wind
    doesn’t like you.
[15:38] ---
    I don’t know about that.
[15:45] ---
    The wind is my friend.
[16:07] ---
    This battle is just starting.
[16:10] ---
    Wind Reversal!
[16:24] ---
    Die!
[16:29] ---
    Darn it! Hey, let go!
[16:32] ---
    Done already? I thought
    we could play a little more…
[16:44] ---
    That’s the spirit!
[16:53] ---
    What kind of toy is it this time?
[17:10] ---
    That’s funny. You think you can
    defeat me with junk like this?
[17:15] ---
    The junk is your sword.
[17:39] ---
    What?! A three-headed dragon!
[17:42] ---
    You’re just quick to escape, eh?
[17:47] ---
    Darn it.
[17:48] ---
    Sure enough,
    Crow is at a disadvantage
[17:51] ---
    unless teamed up with Black Ant.
[18:14] ---
    Not bad, Gaara of the desert.
[18:17] ---
    How much Chakra is built up
    in that sand?
[18:22] ---
    You want to test that out?
[18:24] ---
    However…
[18:25] ---
    It’ll be in exchange for your life.
[18:34] ---
    Sand Coffin!
[18:53] ---
    Impossible.
[18:56] ---
    That’s a nice sand bath.
[18:58] ---
    You, the sand’s Chakra…
[19:01] ---
    Exactly. This armor sucks up Chakra.
[19:13] ---
    Aw, is this good night?
[19:16] ---
    Just sleep as is! For all eternity!!
[19:26] ---
    What?!
[19:39] ---
    That was a close shave,
[19:41] ---
    but Shadow Possession Jutsu
    was a success!
[19:47] ---
    Die already!
[19:51] ---
    Uh, oh!
[19:54] ---
    What?
[20:12] ---
    You guys.
[20:14] ---
    Who are you?
[20:16] ---
    Who are you guys?
[20:18] ---
    – An ally of the Sand.
    – An ally of the Sand.
[20:20] ---
    – Leaf Shinobi.
    – Leaf Shinobi
[20:22] ---
    Believe it!
[20:25] ---
    He’s not here!
[20:26] ---
    – They're further ahead.
    – Right!
[20:29] ---
    Guys, fight as much as you want.
[20:31] ---
    I don’t see any Chakra abnormalities
    in the basin…
[20:36] ---
    There’s no Barrier.
[20:40] ---
    Good luck, guys.
[20:42] ---
    I’ll protect you.
[20:58] ---
    Gaara Sensei.
[21:09] ---
    Just wait, Gaara!
[21:12] ---
    We’ll return the favor, no matter what.
[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
[22:18] ---
    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
[22:50] ---
    Damn it.
    This was their aim from the start.
[22:55] ---
    To think they would take advantage
    of the terrain.
[22:57] ---
    Damn. At this rate,
    Gaara will be in danger.
[23:02] ---
    That’s been said,
    we can’t move from here.
[23:05] ---
    Please hurry, Naruto, Lee.
[23:08] ---
    You two are the only ones
    who can help Gaara now.
[23:11] ---
    Next time:
    “Sealed Sand: the Counterattack!”
