**[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] ---**
