**[00:06] ---**
Press down hard on the gas
**[00:09] ---**
That’s right, there’s no compromise
**[00:13] ---**
We'll slip through the night
**[00:17] ---**
At the final moment push hard
**[00:20] ---**
That's right, all the way to zero,
**[00:24] ---**
Until we wipe away the days
**[00:29] ---**
Gently open your heart
**[00:35] ---**
If you pull it close to you
**[00:40] ---**
It will reach you, without a doubt
**[00:43] ---**
It will come, closer
**[00:44] ---**
Now
**[00:55] ---**
We’re speeding through life,
squeezing it for all of its worth
**[01:01] ---**
Our feet are tied
**[01:02] ---**
But we still keep going farther
**[01:06] ---**
Even if I take it back, and grasp it
**[01:12] ---**
If you’re not the one
**[01:13] ---**
There will be no meaning
**[01:14] ---**
And so we’ll go far off into the distance.
**[01:49] ---**
Akamaru Trembles:
Gaara’s Cruel Strength!
**[02:07] ---**
That guy...?
**[02:09] ---**
Everyone hide!
**[02:10] ---**
No, lie low quick!
**[02:12] ---**
W-Where is that guy?
**[02:16] ---**
Naruto...
**[02:17] ---**
That fool, he finally woke up.
**[02:25] ---**
You are quite one of a kind.
**[02:28] ---**
Actually, you are getting on my nerves.
**[02:39] ---**
Sakura!
**[02:41] ---**
– What? – Y-Y-Your...!
**[02:43] ---**
Sakura... your hair!
**[02:46] ---**
Oh! This...?
**[02:50] ---**
I’m changing my image,
changing my image!
**[02:57] ---**
I like it better long but,
**[03:00] ---**
when I move around in
a forest like this,
**[03:02] ---**
it gets in the way if it’s long.
**[03:07] ---**
By the way...
**[03:08] ---**
why are you guys here?!
**[03:12] ---**
Hah... It’s such a pain
to explain it to you.
**[03:17] ---**
Everybody helped out.
**[03:19] ---**
Huh?
**[03:22] ---**
Sakura’s putting on a show of bravado...
**[03:27] ---**
I’ll take care of him from here.
**[03:30] ---**
Ah... Okay...
**[03:32] ---**
Keep it together! Lee!
**[03:38] ---**
Oh? Tenten, why are you here?
**[03:42] ---**
I came to help.
**[03:45] ---**
Huh...?
**[03:46] ---**
Those guys,
where’s the Sound Village Ninjas?
**[03:48] ---**
A kid named Sasuke
drove them away!
**[03:52] ---**
Really…
**[03:54] ---**
Why did you hastily decided
to act on your own?!
**[03:57] ---**
Besides, you really got beaten up!
**[04:00] ---**
S-Sakura was in danger.
So as a man, I...
**[04:06] ---**
You’re kidding...!
**[04:07] ---**
If it were Lee alone,
he wouldn’t have lost to those guys.
**[04:11] ---**
You’re really stupid.
**[04:15] ---**
I can’t argue with that.
**[04:18] ---**
You, Bushy-Brow!
**[04:21] ---**
Naruto!
**[04:23] ---**
Don’t say rude things to Lee!
**[04:29] ---**
What in the world...
**[04:30] ---**
happened while I was asleep?
**[04:34] ---**
That Naruto,
he’s completely out of the loop.
**[04:38] ---**
He’s not the type to be
the protagonist of a story, certainly not.
**[04:46] ---**
Lee...
**[04:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[04:51] ---**
Because of you,
I was able to wake up.
**[04:55] ---**
I feel like I’ve gotten a little stronger!
**[05:02] ---**
Sakura...
**[05:04] ---**
It looks like my efforts
weren’t enough!
**[05:09] ---**
Sasuke... Just what you’d expect
from the Uchiha clan.
**[05:14] ---**
To chase off the Sound Village Ninjas,
**[05:16] ---**
just as I thought,
you possess amazing strength.
**[05:20] ---**
I was beaten to a pulp.
**[05:22] ---**
What?! He was beaten to a pulp?!
**[05:27] ---**
What’s he talking about?
**[05:29] ---**
Were those guys really that strong?
**[05:33] ---**
Sakura!
**[05:34] ---**
The Lotus of Leaf Village
blooms twice.
**[05:37] ---**
Huh?
**[05:38] ---**
When we meet again,
I will have become a stronger man.
**[05:43] ---**
I pledge it.
**[05:47] ---**
Okay.
**[05:50] ---**
Hey Sakura!
**[05:52] ---**
Come here, come here!
**[05:54] ---**
Your hair! I’ll fix it for you!
**[05:58] ---**
That'd be great.
**[06:05] ---**
You are really sneaky.
**[06:08] ---**
Hugging him like that,
you little billboard brow.
**[06:11] ---**
It’s called first come-first served,
Miss Ino-pig.
**[06:21] ---**
Sasuke... Uchiha.
**[06:29] ---**
At any rate…he’s a strong opponent.
**[06:35] ---**
Are you okay, Akamaru?
**[06:39] ---**
Is he still shaking?
**[06:42] ---**
It’s already been half a day.
**[06:45] ---**
Akamaru...
**[06:46] ---**
I don’t blame him,
it’s because he saw that thing...
**[06:54] ---**
After all, brains are most important
in survival!
**[06:56] ---**
Right. Akamaru?
**[07:00] ---**
Lucky for us,
**[07:02] ---**
the guys who got caught in
the trap had an earth scroll!
**[07:04] ---**
We’ll be the first to
the tower at this rate!
**[07:08] ---**
Don’t get carried away.
That’s dangerous.
**[07:12] ---**
No matter how small a bug it is,
it has to guard itself at all times.
**[07:17] ---**
We have to pay attention to avoid
coming across any enemies...
**[07:20] ---**
This is safety.
**[07:22] ---**
I know that!
**[07:23] ---**
As always, you’re speaking in a way
that’s difficult to understand, bug-nerd.
**[07:29] ---**
Um... B-But...
What Shino said...
**[07:33] ---**
He has a point.
**[07:35] ---**
I know! C’mon.
**[07:38] ---**
Naruto...
**[07:39] ---**
I hope nothing’s happened to him...
**[07:44] ---**
Hey you two, stop.
**[07:48] ---**
We’re being careful not to
come across enemy, right?
**[07:51] ---**
Then Hinata!
**[07:53] ---**
Can you see 1 kilometer
in that direction?
**[07:57] ---**
Yep... I’ll have a look.
Byakugan!
**[08:07] ---**
T-There’s someone there.
**[08:12] ---**
Evidently there are... 6 people…
**[08:16] ---**
Okay! Let’s go look!
**[08:18] ---**
Huh?
**[08:20] ---**
Kiba! What are you saying?
We’re not doing that.
**[08:23] ---**
The Proctor told us to bring
**[08:25] ---**
one of each “Heaven” and “Earth”
scroll in a pair.
**[08:29] ---**
He didn’t say not to
take more than that.
**[08:32] ---**
If we take more, that means
some other teams will be left out.
**[08:39] ---**
B-But...
**[08:40] ---**
We’ll just see what’s going on at first..
**[08:42] ---**
If it looks too dangerous,
we won’t battle for no reason.
**[08:45] ---**
– Let’s go! – Oh!
**[08:48] ---**
He’s an irritating type, that one.
**[08:58] ---**
What’s up, Akamaru?
**[09:01] ---**
What happened? You stopped suddenly.
**[09:06] ---**
Akamaru suddenly got frightened.
**[09:09] ---**
W-Why is that?
**[09:11] ---**
Akamaru can sniff out the level of enemy’s
Chakra and tell his strength.
**[09:16] ---**
But this is the first time I’ve
seen him this scared.
**[09:20] ---**
The people going at it up ahead
aren’t ordinary guys...
**[09:29] ---**
Sand Village kids coming
to challenge us forthright.
**[09:33] ---**
It’s foolish.
**[09:46] ---**
What’s that little guy thinking
to get involved with those guys...?!
**[09:55] ---**
W-What is Akamaru saying...?
**[09:56] ---**
He’s saying that big guy is dangerous.
**[10:02] ---**
T-They certainly look like bad news...
**[10:05] ---**
They seem really strong.
**[10:07] ---**
Hey, kids, you should
pick your opponents...
**[10:12] ---**
You’re all going to die.
**[10:14] ---**
That’s enough of you.
**[10:16] ---**
Let’s do this quickly...
old chap from Hidden Rain Village.
**[10:21] ---**
Which scroll do those guys have...
**[10:25] ---**
Hey Gaara!
**[10:27] ---**
Doesn’t it make sense to
follow them
**[10:29] ---**
and gather information
before hunting them?
**[10:31] ---**
If they have the same type of scroll
there’s no need to fight.
**[10:35] ---**
Unnecessary battles are….
**[10:36] ---**
It doesn’t matter.
**[10:39] ---**
If their eyes meet with mine...
I’ll kill them all.
**[10:45] ---**
That’s why I don’t want
to be with this guy.
**[10:50] ---**
Well, let’s do it. Quickly!
**[10:59] ---**
Die, kid!
**[11:01] ---**
Ninja Art: Senbon Rainstorm!
**[11:06] ---**
Hidden Senbons!
**[11:14] ---**
Up down right left,
there is no dead spot in this Jutsu.
**[11:17] ---**
In addition, all the Senbons are
controlled by my Chakra
**[11:20] ---**
and attack on the intended prey!
**[11:27] ---**
Too easy.
**[11:36] ---**
Is that all?
**[11:38] ---**
I-It can’t be...?!
**[11:39] ---**
Not even one...?
**[11:41] ---**
No wounds...? Ridiculous!
**[11:48] ---**
Senbon Rainstorm, huh...?
**[11:51] ---**
Well, I’ll make it rain blood.
**[12:10] ---**
What a giant Chakra.
**[12:13] ---**
And, that sand...
**[12:16] ---**
It smells terrible.
**[12:19] ---**
Smell?
**[12:23] ---**
A strong smell of blood...
**[12:27] ---**
Wall of sand...?
**[12:29] ---**
That’s right.
An absolute defense by sand!
**[12:34] ---**
He manipulates sand inside
a gourd and
**[12:36] ---**
hardens it with magnified Chakra.
**[12:38] ---**
It defends the circumference
of Gaara’s body.
**[12:41] ---**
It’s a Jutsu that only
he can get away with...
**[12:44] ---**
Furthermore, it’s somehow always
automatically done
**[12:46] ---**
without Gaara’s intentions.
**[12:49] ---**
Which means that all attacks
in front of Gaara fade into nothing.
**[12:55] ---**
That little...
**[12:56] ---**
You guys can’t defeat our Gaara.
**[13:00] ---**
Don’t underestimate me!
**[13:08] ---**
This guy's a goner…
**[13:10] ---**
That’s what you get for rebelling
against Gaara...
**[13:14] ---**
Sand Coffin!
**[13:26] ---**
I can’t move...
**[13:33] ---**
T-This won’t...!
**[13:40] ---**
I can cover your loud mouth
and kill you.
**[13:50] ---**
But that’s too pathetic.
**[14:18] ---**
Sand Burial!
**[14:32] ---**
There’s no pain.
**[14:35] ---**
I knocked him even harder
than was necessary.
**[14:39] ---**
The bloody tears of a corpse merge
with vast sinking sand
**[14:43] ---**
and provide more power
to the demon of war.
**[14:48] ---**
T-The scroll.
**[14:50] ---**
We’ll give it to you!
**[14:53] ---**
Please! Let us go!
**[15:02] ---**
No-o-o-!
**[15:13] ---**
T-This is bad.
**[15:14] ---**
Let’s escape quickly!
lf he finds us he’ll kill us!
**[15:22] ---**
Luckily it is a Heaven scroll.
**[15:24] ---**
Okay! Let’s go to the tower.
**[15:27] ---**
Shut up.
**[15:29] ---**
It’s still…not enough for me!
**[15:34] ---**
U-Uh-oh! Did he notice us?!
**[15:38] ---**
Let’s quit... Gaara.
**[15:42] ---**
Are you scared, coward?
**[15:46] ---**
Gaara! It’s certainly no problem for you,
but it’s too dangerous for us!
**[15:53] ---**
One set of scrolls is good.
**[15:55] ---**
More than this is...
**[15:59] ---**
Lame people don’t give directions to me.
**[16:05] ---**
That’s enough!
**[16:07] ---**
How about if you sometimes listen
to what your big brother has to say?!
**[16:11] ---**
I’ve never thought of you as my siblings.
**[16:14] ---**
If you get in my way... I’ll kill you.
**[16:24] ---**
G-Gaara cut it out! Please.
**[16:27] ---**
Don’t say something so cold.
**[16:30] ---**
As a favor to your sister... Okay?!
**[16:57] ---**
Gaara!
**[17:07] ---**
Fine.
**[17:25] ---**
That’s why I hate brats.
**[17:35] ---**
What? So that’s it Akamaru?
**[17:38] ---**
C’mon, you should have
said something sooner.
**[17:46] ---**
Nobody’s here...?
**[17:49] ---**
Heh heh! We’re the first?!
**[17:52] ---**
No, I sensed someone a little while ago.
**[17:55] ---**
More importantly, is Akamaru okay?
**[17:58] ---**
He’s been scared ever since then.
**[18:02] ---**
Now that you mention it,
what did Akamaru say before?
**[18:05] ---**
Oh... Akamaru said that it
was dangerous
**[18:08] ---**
because that sand squirt
would kill that big guy.
**[18:12] ---**
Sheesh! Just like I thought,
there’s no other place to go!
**[18:16] ---**
They’ve already made us
wait for half a day!
**[18:18] ---**
How much longer do we have to wait?
**[18:38] ---**
Anyway. That Sand Village squirt...
**[18:42] ---**
I don’t know what he is but,
that guy…
**[18:45] ---**
He’s too dangerous.
**[18:54] ---**
It’s becoming a real disaster,
but we can’t cancel this test.
**[19:00] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:02] ---**
Excuse me!
**[19:03] ---**
What is it?!
We’re talking about something important!
**[19:07] ---**
Excuse me.
**[19:08] ---**
But... Uh...
**[19:09] ---**
Please take a look at this!
**[19:11] ---**
The video...?
**[19:16] ---**
Ready? Here! Look at the time!
**[19:28] ---**
T-This is…
**[19:30] ---**
It’s a recording inside the tower,
**[19:31] ---**
one hour and thirty-seven minutes
after the start of the second test!
**[19:38] ---**
Three Ninja from Hidden Sand Village
broke through the second test.
**[19:45] ---**
This can’t be...!
**[19:47] ---**
In a mere ninety-seven minutes...
**[19:50] ---**
This has never happened!
**[19:54] ---**
This is an anomaly.
**[19:55] ---**
Those guys are not Genin level.
**[19:58] ---**
They’ve rewritten the
fastest time by four hours…
**[20:04] ---**
It’s not just that.
**[20:06] ---**
What do you mean?
**[20:09] ---**
It’s 10 kilometers
from the test entrances to the tower.
**[20:12] ---**
Ferocious animals, poisonous insects,
the rugged forest road...
**[20:16] ---**
As if those were not there…
**[20:21] ---**
Especially the brown-haired kid
right in front…
**[20:24] ---**
What about him?
**[20:26] ---**
You don’t notice?
**[20:33] ---**
I see. This is quite a surprise.
**[20:36] ---**
What about him is so...?
**[20:40] ---**
Look closely at his body.
**[20:52] ---**
I see.
**[20:54] ---**
He doesn’t have a single scratch.
**[20:56] ---**
What’s worse, there's not
a smudge of dirt on his clothing.
**[21:01] ---**
Even I...
**[21:03] ---**
No, any of the other Chunin...
**[21:06] ---**
It’s impossible for us to
make it to this tower without a scratch.
**[21:10] ---**
It’s likely that it has something
to do with his ability.
**[21:14] ---**
After a long time, a dependable
guy has appeared.
**[21:19] ---**
Even though he’s got evil eyes.
**[21:24] ---**
Hey, can you hear it?
**[21:29] ---**
The clear, blue sky goes on and on
**[21:38] ---**
The ocean spans limitlessly
**[21:47] ---**
Please keep that smile on your face forever
**[21:57] ---**
Or else I’ll cry
**[22:02] ---**
You won't have to search around you
**[22:06] ---**
It’s all ok now.
**[22:10] ---**
Everyone is inside
this hand
**[22:19] ---**
when you want to cry, and you want to run away
**[22:24] ---**
When you forget what happiness is
**[22:29] ---**
Just sing.
**[22:33] ---**
Light is born, and darkness was born
**[22:38] ---**
The two are one
**[22:40] ---**
Harmonia, feel the telepathy
**[22:47] ---**
Hey, can you hear it?
**[22:58] ---**
– Please! – No!
**[22:59] ---**
– Just a little bit. – No!
**[23:00] ---**
– Really only a little bit.
– No means no!
**[23:03] ---**
I’ll just look a little and put it back.
**[23:05] ---**
Remember what the
Proctors said, loser.
**[23:08] ---**
When they say don’t look, don’t look,
**[23:10] ---**
it just makes me want
to look all the more!
**[23:12] ---**
If you can look when you can,
let’s look!
**[23:14] ---**
Naruto lost it!
**[23:15] ---**
Sakura! Get a hold of Naruto!
**[23:17] ---**
Next episode: “The Scroll’s Secret:
No Peeking Allowed”
**[23:20] ---**
I really want to look!
