[00:08] ---
    To think the Leaf’s reinforcements
    will be you of all people!
[00:12] ---
    A man should always repay
    the debt he owes a woman.
[00:17] ---
    Always the bothersome guy with
    the man and woman stuff!
[00:22] ---
    Gaara and Kankuro are chasing after
    the guys who took our village girl.
[00:26] ---
    Forget about here and
    head for them!
[00:28] ---
    We’ve received information.
[00:30] ---
    Gaara and Kankuro have entered
    their respective battles.
[00:34] ---
    I see…
[00:36] ---
    The shadow won’t reach, I guess…
[00:40] ---
    Leaf Village’s two-man cells are
    just now heading there for back-up.
[00:45] ---
    How well prepared.
[00:47] ---
    It’s a pain,
[00:48] ---
    but as long as we’re doing this,
    we’ll do it right.
[00:50] ---
    We’ll do it perfectly without
    producing casualties!
[00:54] ---
    Make sure you don’t cry
    in front of me this time.
[00:58] ---
    Are you going to hold
    that over my head forever?
[01:02] ---
    Just like a woman…
[01:05] ---
    I-I feel like I don’t really
    have my place in this.
[01:09] ---
    I’ll take care of all of you at once!
[01:14] ---
    Here it comes!
[01:17] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[01:43] ---
    The distance created between us
    became too big,
[01:49] ---
    because we were always together
[01:55] ---
    Your honest reply, “See you…”
[02:01] ---
    coming from that brash mouth
    makes it sadder.
[02:07] ---
    If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
[02:13] ---
    Then I want to deliver you a smile,
    even if I’m not by your side
[02:20] ---
    Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
    into your hands
[02:33] ---
    I can feel it so close,
[02:39] ---
    Our two hearts
[02:58] ---
    Sealed Sand: The Counterattack!
[03:03] ---
    To think you’d ask
    the Leaf Village for help…
[03:07] ---
    I guess the Sand has lost the edge
    they used to have, huh?
[03:10] ---
    Why are you here?
[03:15] ---
    You know, dogs.
[03:17] ---
    They’re not satisfied until a favor
    has been properly returned.
[03:21] ---
    Especially this Akamaru!
[03:26] ---
    A dog retuning a favor doesn’t
    have much of a ring to it!
[03:29] ---
    Help is on the way to
    the other two as well.
[03:32] ---
    You concentrate on this fight!
[03:35] ---
    You’re giving me lip!
[03:38] ---
    So you flies are gonna gang up
    on me, huh?
[03:40] ---
    But you’re no match for my Dragon Eye:
    Fang Release: Dark Sword.
[03:44] ---
    Eat this!
[03:56] ---
    If your Chakra isn't built up,
    your sand is no big deal at all!
[04:01] ---
    It’ll only be useful for
    blinding me at best!
[04:05] ---
    It’s futile!
[04:09] ---
    I feel it.
    Your Chakra is being sucked up.
[04:16] ---
    What?! He was setting the sand
    in the gourd aside?!
[04:36] ---
    I was being cautious,
    but he is much too strong.
[05:23] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[05:52] ---
    Just what I’d expect from
    Gaara of the Sand.
[05:56] ---
    He’s not called the ultimate weapon
    for nothing…
[05:59] ---
    The ultimate…weapon?!
[06:01] ---
    However, he cannot exceed
    our Ninja tools
[06:04] ---
    forged in the Village of the Artisans!
[06:13] ---
    Gaara!
[06:17] ---
    Hey, he’s totally got the edge!
[06:19] ---
    Do we have a chance to
    return the favor?
[06:29] ---
    That’s incredible wind.
    What an amount of Chakra…
[06:32] ---
    No, it seems that sword is
    amplifying her Chakra.
[06:37] ---
    So she’s relying on that sword for
    all of her attack and defense, huh?
[06:42] ---
    Anyway, we’ve got to slip within
    firing range for our Jutsu
[06:46] ---
    and stop her movements!
[06:48] ---
    Right.
[06:50] ---
    Let’s go at once!
[06:55] ---
    Annoying!
[07:10] ---
    She’s attempting to maintain
    her distance just from Temari.
[07:15] ---
    I see.
[07:17] ---
    So she just wants to pay attention
    to the long range-type Temari and
[07:19] ---
    blow us mid-range Jutsu users
    away with wind
[07:22] ---
    before we can get close, huh…?
[07:24] ---
    Now then, what should we do?
[07:29] ---
    Man Beast Clone!
[07:31] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[07:33] ---
    Crow!
[07:35] ---
    – Arms! – Fang Over Fang!
[07:43] ---
    Did you guys come to
    get in my way?!
[07:45] ---
    We made sure to send you
    a signal, right?!
[07:48] ---
    How could I tell?!
[07:49] ---
    We don’t click at all?
[07:52] ---
    Are you guys…messing around?!
[07:54] ---
    Be more serious and die!
[07:57] ---
    Talking nonsense!
[08:32] ---
    Although I reduced the damage
    with my Infinite Kujaku Armor, still…
[08:42] ---
    Just what I’d expect of Gaara,
[08:44] ---
    the Sand’s ultimate weapon
    who hosts the Shukaku…
[08:53] ---
    But you’re already in our hands.
[09:07] ---
    What should I do?
    She’s beyond the range of my Jutsu…
[09:11] ---
    and I don’t see anything around here
    that could be used to extend my shadow.
[09:21] ---
    Hey!
[09:29] ---
    What’re you whispering about?
[09:32] ---
    What’re you thinking?!
[09:35] ---
    I’ll explain later, for crying out loud.
    Can you do it or not?
[09:39] ---
    I suppose I could try, but…
[09:46] ---
    What is it…?
[09:57] ---
    What’s he doing?
[10:07] ---
    Behold the terror of Ninja tools
    our village created.
[10:42] ---
    What’s this Chakra?
[11:00] ---
    This is a water vein!
[11:03] ---
    I get it!
[11:04] ---
    The lines connecting the point
    in the center and triangle isn’t a Barrier…
[11:08] ---
    It’s a water vein!
[11:09] ---
    Ninja Tool Barrier:
    Reverse Scale Formation… Activate!
[11:36] ---
    Oh no!
[11:40] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[11:43] ---
    The aim of the Reverse Scale Formation
    was a single point, Gaara from the start!
[11:46] ---
    Our swords accurately pierce
    a water vein
[11:49] ---
    and summon the water dragon.
[11:52] ---
    Sand has sucked up
    a large amount of water
[11:54] ---
    and has become as heavy as lead…
[11:56] ---
    Now Gaara can no longer use sand.
[12:01] ---
    Gaara!
[12:02] ---
    – Gaara! – Calm down!
[12:04] ---
    Lee and Naruto are heading for Gaara!
[12:07] ---
    That guy is?!
[12:08] ---
    They’ll save Gaara,
    no matter what.
[12:12] ---
    We need to concentrate on
    the enemy in front of us.
[12:26] ---
    To think you’d choose
    a sandy area to fall on…
[12:28] ---
    Just what I’d expect of Gaara
    of the desert…
[12:32] ---
    However!
[12:40] ---
    That’s as far as
    your useless resistance goes!
[12:43] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[12:48] ---
    A hero’s turn always comes late!
[12:53] ---
    That’s right!
[12:58] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Gaara!
[13:00] ---
    Naruto…!
[13:02] ---
    It seems you rushed to everyone
    during the Sasuke incident…
[13:05] ---
    This time we’ve come to return
    the favor from that time.
[13:09] ---
    So we’ll take that guy on!
[13:12] ---
    You hurry to your student straight on!
[13:20] ---
    To think he’d corner you this far…
[13:24] ---
    – Lee! – Sakura!
[13:27] ---
    Leave Gaara’s treatment to me!
    Lee, you go with Naruto!
[13:30] ---
    – Sakura! – Got it!
[13:35] ---
    Then I’ll be going first!
[13:39] ---
    Be careful. His armor sucks up Chakra!
[13:43] ---
    I’ll suck up all of your Chakra!
[13:52] ---
    I see. So this means we can’t
    release our regular power?
[13:56] ---
    That doesn’t matter!
[13:58] ---
    Even without Chakra,
    we’ve got fighting spirit!
[14:02] ---
    Yes! We’ll go with that
    plus willpower!
[14:13] ---
    Just as I thought.
[14:14] ---
    That they haven’t launched anything
    during the fight thus far means
[14:18] ---
    the two reinforcements don’t
    have long range-type Jutsu.
[14:21] ---
    Then I’ll maintain this distance and…
[14:24] ---
    you’ll die getting torn up by the wind!
[14:28] ---
    While she’s distracted by Shikamaru
    and the others,
[14:31] ---
    I’ll just go for it!
[14:33] ---
    Mind Destruction…!
[14:36] ---
    Ino!
[14:38] ---
    Foolish girl. It’s useless to attempt
    to exploit an opening!
[14:42] ---
    You little!
[14:48] ---
    You won’t get close to me!
    I’ve read your range as well!
[14:53] ---
    I don’t know about that…!
[14:55] ---
    Ino! You stay right there!
[15:03] ---
    I’m counting on you…!
[15:04] ---
    Shino! Sakura!
[15:10] ---
    There’s one wounded
    at the waterfall.
[15:13] ---
    Tunneling Fang!
[15:17] ---
    Now!
[15:18] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[15:21] ---
    Oh…!
[15:23] ---
    What’re you doing?!
[15:24] ---
    Are you guys…mocking me?
[15:27] ---
    After sucking up all of your Chakra,
    I’ll be returning the favor plenty!
[15:36] ---
    The contusion treatment is complete.
[15:38] ---
    But, the depletion of Chakra
    is overwhelming.
[15:47] ---
    Contact from your friends…?
[15:49] ---
    – Ino’s hurt?! – Go!
[15:51] ---
    Wha--?! But in your condition…
[15:55] ---
    I’m okay now. Help your friend!
[16:00] ---
    Okay. Don’t push yourself.
[16:03] ---
    Yeah…
[16:09] ---
    What’re you doing?!
    Hurry up and go after your comrade!
[16:13] ---
    I’ll help my comrade.
[16:16] ---
    I’ll settle this in a moment.
[16:17] ---
    But…
[16:20] ---
    Bushy Brow!
[16:27] ---
    Damn it. It’s no good
    just shot-gunning it!
[16:31] ---
    It’s just him?
[16:38] ---
    A part of Black Ant…
[16:40] ---
    Could it be…a signal?
[16:44] ---
    Fang Over Fang once more!
[16:47] ---
    Back me up with Crow!
[16:49] ---
    I’m counting on you
    for back up too, Choji!
[16:51] ---
    Got it!
[16:53] ---
    Heh! Bossing me around.
[17:01] ---
    The counterattack starts now!
[17:04] ---
    It’s futile. Your Jutsu won’t reach me!
[17:07] ---
    You never know until you try, right…?!
[17:11] ---
    Here we go!
[17:12] ---
    Wind Style: Cyclone Scythe!
[17:15] ---
    Huh?!
[17:18] ---
    What’re you aiming at?!
    Totally misguided…
[17:22] ---
    Say what?
[17:24] ---
    What’s the meaning of this?
[17:25] ---
    I’m sure I’d read your range already…!
[17:29] ---
    I’ll show you!
[17:34] ---
    I can create a shadow with
    this thick a current
[17:37] ---
    even if the water’s clear.
[17:39] ---
    My Jutsu’s range has infinitely
    improved by lifting the waterfall!
[17:46] ---
    The Shadow Possession Jutsu
    is a success!
[17:50] ---
    Summoning…
[17:52] ---
    Blade Dance!
[18:09] ---
    This one’s done!
[18:13] ---
    Good grief…
[18:18] ---
    I…couldn’t do anything.
[18:22] ---
    Here everyone’s doing their best…
[18:25] ---
    Only I…
[18:27] ---
    Ino?
[18:30] ---
    Gaara.
[18:36] ---
    You don’t have any sand
    left you can use.
[18:42] ---
    What’s this?!
[18:43] ---
    He smashed the Sand Armor.
[18:45] ---
    No way! But the sand
    heavy with water like that…
[18:50] ---
    If I just suck up the Chakra…
[18:55] ---
    This is my weapon!
[19:13] ---
    You okay, Gaara?!
[19:15] ---
    This is the finishing blow…
[19:18] ---
    Gaara Sensei!
[19:19] ---
    Hurry! Leave the rest to us!
[19:25] ---
    Man Beast Clone!
[19:26] ---
    Fang Over Fang!
[19:27] ---
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
[19:31] ---
    Annoying buzzing flies!
[19:34] ---
    Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword!
[19:44] ---
    What?!
[19:45] ---
    Oh, no!
[19:49] ---
    Puppet Show…
[19:54] ---
    Secret Black Move Iron Maiden!
[20:06] ---
    The show’s over!
[20:07] ---
    – We did it! – Yeah!
[20:14] ---
    Matsuri.
[20:21] ---
    Gaara and…!
[20:22] ---
    A Shinobi carrying a child on his back.
[20:25] ---
    He’s heading for the valley.
[20:28] ---
    The last one…
[20:30] ---
    Gaara is chasing him!
[20:31] ---
    What?!
[20:37] ---
    You okay, Bushy Brow?
    Sakura will be right back.
[20:41] ---
    Thanks.
[20:42] ---
    Well, I’m going after Gaara!
[20:44] ---
    Got it! I’ll meet up with you later!
[20:57] ---
    I’ve got him cornered.
[21:12] ---
    Matsuri.
[21:18] ---
    The Key to the rusted heart’s door
[21:23] ---
    Will always be smiling right near by
[21:34] ---
    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
[21:43] ---
    This big dream of mine that
    cannot be translated to words,
[21:48] ---
    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
[22:14] ---
    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] ---
    I heard you figured out the identities
    of the Four Celestials?
[22:52] ---
    Yes. They are the Ninja of
    the Village of the Artisans
[22:55] ---
    who've been harboring ill feeling
    toward the Five Great Nations.
[22:57] ---
    It seems they’ve completed
    the forbidden project
[22:59] ---
    passed down in the village and
[23:00] ---
    intend to resurrect
    their ultimate weapon.
[23:02] ---
    I see. I take it the other villagers
    got wind of it and evacuated.
[23:07] ---
    Exactly. You head over to
    where they are immediately.
[23:10] ---
    Yes, ma’am.
[23:11] ---
    Next time:
    “The Ultimate Weapon Reborn”
