**[00:09] ---**
So this is the Shukaku?
**[00:12] ---**
It’s the first time I’ve seen
the real thing…
**[00:17] ---**
It’s dangerous here!
We have to get away!
**[00:19] ---**
But! Gaara Sensei…
**[00:22] ---**
Shut up.
**[00:24] ---**
Gaara is trying…to protect you!
**[00:28] ---**
So hurry!
**[00:29] ---**
R-Right.
**[00:33] ---**
Hey! Could that be…?!
**[00:35] ---**
Yeah…
**[00:37] ---**
The Shukaku transformation
is starting.
**[00:40] ---**
Gaara…
**[00:42] ---**
Naruto!
**[00:44] ---**
Naruto!
**[00:45] ---**
Hinata, Sakura.
**[00:48] ---**
Matsuri, you okay?
**[00:50] ---**
Y-Yes. But Gaara Sensei…
**[00:54] ---**
I leave her to you…
**[01:04] ---**
Hold it! You are badly hurt!
**[01:09] ---**
But…
**[01:10] ---**
You’ll just become unable
to move right away!
**[01:13] ---**
I’ll give you some first-aid treatment!
**[01:16] ---**
Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
into your hands
**[01:42] ---**
The distance created between us
became too big,
**[01:48] ---**
because we were always together
**[01:54] ---**
Your honest reply, “See you…”
**[02:00] ---**
coming from that brash mouth
makes it sadder.
**[02:06] ---**
If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
**[02:12] ---**
Then I want to deliver you a smile,
even if I’m not by your side
**[02:19] ---**
Fly into the wavy and twisted sky,
into your hands
**[02:32] ---**
I can feel it so close,
**[02:38] ---**
Our two hearts
**[02:57] ---**
Departure
**[03:01] ---**
This is bad… It’s a matter of time.
**[03:04] ---**
I knew it.
**[03:05] ---**
Sakura! Hurry!
lt looks like we don’t have much time!
**[03:09] ---**
Got it! First, put your hands out.
**[03:12] ---**
R-Right…
**[03:24] ---**
What’s the meaning of this?
**[03:26] ---**
What is it, Neji?
**[03:28] ---**
That guy wearing the armor is
releasing Chakra stronger than Gaara…
**[03:32] ---**
who’s half transformed into a beast.
**[03:35] ---**
That person called himself Seimei,
the creator of the Village of Artisans.
**[03:40] ---**
He said something about being reborn
as the ultimate Ninja tool.
**[03:43] ---**
That jerk!
He’s taken away Gaara’s Chakra!
**[03:47] ---**
Come to think of it, the enemy
we fought wore similar armor…
**[03:51] ---**
and took away a great deal
of my Chakra.
**[03:54] ---**
Armor that sucks up Chakra…
**[03:56] ---**
And that alarming form…
**[03:58] ---**
It doesn’t look like
we can just carelessly get close.
**[04:00] ---**
Now… What do we do?
**[04:04] ---**
I didn’t figure on fighting
against the Shukaku…
**[04:08] ---**
However, this is fun, too.
**[04:11] ---**
As great as the Shukaku may be,
this way, I can prove that
**[04:14] ---**
it’s no match for the ultimate Ninja tool
of the Village of Artisans.
**[04:29] ---**
Why is this guy so strong?
**[04:35] ---**
I won’t allow my important people…
**[04:38] ---**
to get hurt!
**[04:41] ---**
If not, I will stop you,
**[04:46] ---**
even if that means that
I have to kill you!
**[04:48] ---**
Why…?
**[04:50] ---**
How is it that you can fight
so much for other people…?
**[04:54] ---**
They saved me from
the hell of being all alone.
**[04:59] ---**
They accepted me for
who I was…
**[05:03] ---**
that’s why…
they are important to me!
**[05:08] ---**
Love is a heart that desires to serve
a precious person who is close to oneself,
**[05:13] ---**
and to love and watch over that person…
**[05:17] ---**
Love…
**[05:21] ---**
That is why he is so strong?
**[05:49] ---**
Gaara!
**[05:50] ---**
What’s that?
Gaara Sensei is returning to normal?
**[05:53] ---**
What happened to him?!
**[05:56] ---**
Gaara might be suppressing
Shukaku of his own volition.
**[06:00] ---**
Why? Wouldn’t he end up weakening
his own battle strength?
**[06:05] ---**
Even so, he chose to fight
with his own strength and will,
**[06:10] ---**
not Shukaku's power,
which he can’t control.
**[06:35] ---**
So you couldn’t maintain
the Shukaku body with that Chakra?
**[06:39] ---**
I’ll…help the friends important
to me with my own power…
**[06:44] ---**
How absurd.
**[06:46] ---**
A Shinobi doesn’t need emotion.
**[06:48] ---**
It is those who suppress their emotions
who can obtain great power.
**[06:53] ---**
Great power.
That power is the only justice.
**[06:58] ---**
You’re finished now.
**[07:05] ---**
Eat this!
**[07:16] ---**
That’s as far as you go,
monster of the Sand Village.
**[07:25] ---**
Acting tough, huh…?
**[07:27] ---**
You shouldn’t have
any Chakra left to fight with.
**[07:32] ---**
Indeed, I only have a little bit
of Chakra left…
**[07:35] ---**
But do you think I just sat around
in the cage doing nothing at all?
**[07:41] ---**
What?!
**[07:44] ---**
Sand Tsunami!
**[07:51] ---**
You shouldn’t have
any sand you can control!
**[07:55] ---**
I’m Gaara of the desert!
**[07:57] ---**
It’s simple for me to crush rocks
and turn them into sand.
**[08:50] ---**
Kujaku: Hurricane Formation!
**[08:56] ---**
So you still had
that much power left, huh?
**[08:59] ---**
Then I’ll just suck up all of that power!
**[09:11] ---**
Gaara’s Chakra is being sucked out!
**[09:13] ---**
– Wha--?! – Gaara Sensei!
**[09:15] ---**
– Damn it! – Wait! Naruto!
**[09:17] ---**
What, Shikamaru? Don’t stop me!
**[09:19] ---**
You’ll just get in the way if you go!
**[09:22] ---**
Besides, our Gaara is strong!
**[09:27] ---**
Gaara…
**[09:37] ---**
Extreme Tempered Ultimate Attack:
**[09:39] ---**
Shukaku's Pike!
**[09:56] ---**
Wh-Why…? Why could you…?
**[10:00] ---**
Someone who gave up on being human
and was reborn as a Ninja tool
**[10:04] ---**
could never understand anyway.
**[10:08] ---**
I don’t understand. Why?
**[10:11] ---**
Why?!
**[10:18] ---**
Giant Sand Burial!
**[10:32] ---**
He did it!
**[10:33] ---**
Gaara Sensei won!
**[10:35] ---**
Yeah! Gaara!
**[10:44] ---**
– Gaara! – Gaara!
**[10:50] ---**
He’s okay…
**[10:52] ---**
He’s just extremely fatigued
**[10:54] ---**
on account of using
his Chakra all at once.
**[10:56] ---**
Gaara completely suppressed
the Shukaku on his own volition.
**[11:00] ---**
Yeah…
**[11:05] ---**
I want to work hard
**[11:07] ---**
and become an existence acknowledged
by other people…
**[11:10] ---**
I thought that looking
at Naruto Uzumaki.
**[11:13] ---**
Ties with other people…
**[11:15] ---**
For me, until now, that was just hate
and murderous intent.
**[11:20] ---**
However, there’s something
I’ve understood just a little…
**[11:26] ---**
about the ties he goes so far for
and talks about.
**[11:32] ---**
Suffering, sorrow and happiness
can be shared with someone.
**[11:43] ---**
You’ve also made someone
you can share with at last…
**[11:47] ---**
Did you say something?
**[11:49] ---**
No, nothing…
**[11:55] ---**
We came to the trouble
of rushing here.
**[11:57] ---**
To think it’d be over…
**[12:00] ---**
It seems
the inexperienced knuckleheads
**[12:02] ---**
have grown a teeny weeny bit…
**[12:07] ---**
You are very strict.
**[12:37] ---**
Pervy Sage!
**[12:39] ---**
Oh, long time no see, Naruto.
**[12:42] ---**
Don’t give me that “long time no see”
garbage, you jerk Sage!
**[12:45] ---**
You were talking all big about
watching my training,
**[12:47] ---**
making me into your protégé
and stuff!
**[12:49] ---**
Where were you traipsing
around until now?!
**[12:52] ---**
Well, how can I put this?
I was gathering information.
**[12:56] ---**
It was probably just information
on naked ladies anyway, right?
**[13:00] ---**
You idiot!
**[13:02] ---**
Even I come through when it counts…
**[13:05] ---**
I was mainly after information
on the Akatsuki.
**[13:09] ---**
Akatsuki!
**[13:10] ---**
With this I’ve been able
to verify their actions.
**[13:13] ---**
And now as promised,
**[13:15] ---**
two years later when
they’ll move into high gear,
**[13:19] ---**
I will thoroughly train you.
**[13:29] ---**
I wonder if you’re prepared?
**[13:33] ---**
I’ve been tired of waiting!
**[13:46] ---**
I owe you one.
**[13:48] ---**
No. I just repaid the debt
from last time.
**[13:52] ---**
Next time, I’ll settle things
more properly.
**[13:55] ---**
Well, this time I’ll acknowledge
that you didn’t cry.
**[13:59] ---**
Not again.
**[14:01] ---**
Just like a woman…
**[14:02] ---**
What about him?
**[14:04] ---**
Huh?
**[14:05] ---**
Naruto?
**[14:07] ---**
I hear he’s leaving today on
a training journey with Jiraiya.
**[14:10] ---**
Jiraiya? One of the Genius Sannin?
**[14:13] ---**
Yeah. lt’s such a pain.
**[14:16] ---**
He’s going to come back
having gotten stronger again.
**[14:20] ---**
See you around.
**[14:22] ---**
– Farewell… – See ya.
**[14:29] ---**
Please tell Naruto…
**[14:32] ---**
Thanks to him,
**[14:34] ---**
I figured out what the words
Gaara Sensei spoke of meant.
**[14:38] ---**
I’ll dedicate myself under
Gaara Sensei from now on…
**[14:50] ---**
What did he do?
**[15:04] ---**
Well, I guess that’s about it.
**[15:28] ---**
I read the Village of Artisans report
from the other day.
**[15:35] ---**
Although it didn’t go as far as
a perfect 100,
**[15:37] ---**
I’ll give you a passing grade.
**[15:39] ---**
No! I’m still very much lacking
in experience.
**[15:40] ---**
Of course!
**[15:42] ---**
I’ll have you carry out
several missions
**[15:45] ---**
and get you to build up
lots of experience,
**[15:47] ---**
so make sure to dedicate yourself!
**[15:48] ---**
What?! Does that mean
I’m totally going to get overworked?
**[16:25] ---**
Umm, Sakura. Got a minute?
**[16:29] ---**
Ino?
**[16:30] ---**
Sure. What’s up?
**[16:33] ---**
As, as it happens,
I was thinking about it the while…
**[16:38] ---**
But it became totally clear to me
on this mission!
**[16:41] ---**
Clear that I’d be no good at all
at this rate!
**[16:45] ---**
Ino.
**[16:47] ---**
It’s frustrating,
but I was envious of you.
**[16:50] ---**
You, who everyone depended on.
**[16:53] ---**
So, please.
I also want to become a Medical Ninja.
**[16:57] ---**
I know it’ll be hard.
**[16:59] ---**
But I’ve got guts and I’ll manage
the studying, no matter what.
**[17:04] ---**
So could you ask Lady Tsunade for me?
**[17:07] ---**
– Sure. – Really?!
**[17:09] ---**
But prepare yourself.
**[17:11] ---**
Once that happens,
you’ll be my little sister protégé.
**[17:15] ---**
What’s that…?
**[17:16] ---**
Naturally!
**[17:18] ---**
After all, I’ll be your
Medical Ninja superior, you know.
**[17:25] ---**
Man, I can’t wait.
**[17:27] ---**
You’ll be my lovable little sister protégé.
**[17:29] ---**
I’ll train you nice and hard.
**[17:32] ---**
Just you watch!
I’ll pass you up right away!
**[17:35] ---**
Ha! Try it if you can! You Ino pig!
**[17:38] ---**
I’ll do it! Billboard Brow!
**[17:45] ---**
Why?! Why is it?!
**[17:47] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[17:49] ---**
Why was I the only one left out
of the mission the other day?!
**[17:53] ---**
But you were with
a different team then, right?
**[17:57] ---**
But everyone had taken part!
**[18:00] ---**
She’s kind of in a rage.
**[18:02] ---**
It’s hard being the only one left out
of a mission.
**[18:06] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[18:07] ---**
it seems Naruto finally leaves
for training.
**[18:10] ---**
I heard. It seems that Jiraiya
is going to be his mentor.
**[18:14] ---**
Damn it! That guy’s going
to get strong again.
**[18:19] ---**
It looks like the village will
get quiet for a while.
**[18:23] ---**
Viewed in that light,
it’s a little bit sad, isn’t it?
**[18:27] ---**
No! This isn’t the time
to be getting sad!
**[18:31] ---**
I must work hard!
**[18:32] ---**
Several times more,
several times more.
**[18:35] ---**
If I don’t work hard hundreds
of times more than Naruto,
**[18:37] ---**
I won’t be able to face him
the next time we meet.
**[18:41] ---**
Your guard is off!
**[18:48] ---**
We also must grow by that time.
**[18:52] ---**
It’s because trying to improve
by learning from others,
**[18:56] ---**
that is what’s called friendship.
**[18:59] ---**
Good grief,
we’d better not lose, Akamaru.
**[19:03] ---**
Same here!
**[19:05] ---**
Hey, you okay, Lee?!
**[19:06] ---**
I’m fine, I’m fine.
**[19:22] ---**
Lady Hinata, let’s call it a day.
**[19:24] ---**
What? I’m still…
**[19:27] ---**
It’s about time for his departure.
**[19:30] ---**
Oh!
**[19:31] ---**
You won’t be able to
see him for a while.
**[19:36] ---**
I see… It looks like you’ll be
on a long journey…
**[19:40] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:45] ---**
Listen up.
Be sure to train and don’t goof off.
**[19:48] ---**
Right! You can count on me!
**[19:55] ---**
It’s about time to go, Naruto.
**[19:57] ---**
Right!
**[20:03] ---**
Okay! I’m off, Iruka Sensei!
**[20:06] ---**
I’ll pay you back for the ramen
once I’ve become a success.
**[20:09] ---**
Jeez…
**[20:19] ---**
Good luck, Naruto.
**[20:35] ---**
Keep your eyes on me.
**[20:43] ---**
What’re you doing?!
I’ll leave you behind, Naruto.
**[20:46] ---**
Hey. H-Hey, wait up!
**[20:56] ---**
I also have to work hard in order
to catch up with Naruto.
**[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,
**[21:48] ---**
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
**[22:48] ---**
It’s been two years since his departure.
**[22:50] ---**
Now the count down to
the battle begins.
**[22:53] ---**
Those who pursue and those
who are pursued.
**[22:56] ---**
Time will not wait for the boy.
**[22:58] ---**
As Akatsuki Organization begins
to take action,
**[23:01] ---**
the day of Orochimaru’s reincarnation
draws near.
**[23:04] ---**
In order to take back what he lost,
**[23:07] ---**
the boy once again throws himself
into the maelstrom of cruel fate…
**[23:14] ---**
Next time: “Homecoming”
