[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.
[01:45] ---
    It’s a custom where balance is preserved
    by fighting and removing life.
[01:51] ---
    This is the friendship
    of the Shinobi world.
[01:53] ---
    This is a fight for life with the pride
    of the village and
[01:56] ---
    one’s own dream on the line.
[02:00] ---
    Heh, I’m convinced.
[02:03] ---
    Anything is fine.
[02:05] ---
    Just tell us the content
    of that fight-for-life test.
[02:10] ---
    Very well.
[02:11] ---
    Now then, this is where I’d
    like to explain the third exam.
[02:15] ---
    But actually…
[02:20] ---
    Please allow me, Hayate Gekko who was
    given the task of judge, to speak first.
[02:25] ---
    I leave it to you…
[02:28] ---
    There’s something... I’d like you all
    to do...
[02:33] ---
    before the third exam.
[02:40] ---
    And that is a preliminary
    to the third exam,
[02:44] ---
    with participation in
    the main battle on the line.
[02:49] ---
    Preliminary?
[02:50] ---
    What do you mean…preliminary?!
[02:53] ---
    Sensei, I don’t understand
    the point of that preliminary.
[02:58] ---
    Why aren’t we doing the next exam
    with the remaining test-takers?
[03:03] ---
    This time around,
[03:05] ---
    perhaps because the first and
    second exams were easy,
[03:09] ---
    there are a few too many
    people left, you see.
[03:13] ---
    In accordance with the rules
    of the Chunin Exams,
[03:16] ---
    a preliminary will be held in order to
    reduce the number advancing.
[03:21] ---
    N-No way!
[03:23] ---
    As Lord Hokage said before,
[03:27] ---
    many guests will be coming
     to the third exam.
[03:31] ---
    So we can’t have long pointless matches
    and our time is limited as well.
[03:37] ---
    Therefore, those of you
    not in top physical condition…
[03:43] ---
    Hey, is he okay…?!
[03:46] ---
    The teacher doesn’t look well himself?!
[03:50] ---
    Excuse me.
[03:51] ---
    Those of you who wish to drop out,
    please speak up now.
[03:57] ---
    The preliminary will
    begin immediately, so…
[04:00] ---
    Immediately, you say…?!
[04:01] ---
    But we finally made it through
     the second exam.
[04:06] ---
    This is a pain…
[04:08] ---
    Huh? What about our meal?
[04:12] ---
    Narrowing the Field:
    Sudden Death Elimination!
[04:20] ---
    Okay!
[04:22] ---
    I’m going to do my best, no matter what!
[04:24] ---
    I promised Kabuto, too…
[04:28] ---
    And oh...
[04:29] ---
    I forgot to mention this, but it will
    be individual battles from now on.
[04:35] ---
    It is your decision, so feel free
    to raise your hands and drop out.
[04:40] ---
    Who’s going to quit?!
[04:45] ---
    Sasuke?!
[04:48] ---
    The waves of pain are
    coming faster...
[04:53] ---
    Sasuke… I knew it.
[04:56] ---
    Sasuke, you should quit
    these preliminaries!
[05:00] ---
    Huh?!
[05:02] ---
    L-Look, you haven't been yourself
[05:04] ---
    ever since you got worked
    over by that Orochimaru guy!
[05:08] ---
    That bruise hurts even now, right…?
[05:12] ---
    Bruise…?
[05:14] ---
    At this rate…!
[05:22] ---
    I gave him a parting gift.
[05:25] ---
    Sasuke will definitely seek me…
    in search of power.
[05:46] ---
    You’re the only one left.
[05:51] ---
    Please…
[05:54] ---
    Please, quit!
[05:58] ---
    I’m…scared.
[06:03] ---
    Sakura…
[06:08] ---
    I knew it.
[06:10] ---
    What shall we do?
[06:12] ---
    We should remove him
    from the exams
[06:14] ---
    and isolate him with
    Anbu bodyguards on him.
[06:17] ---
    We should recommend that
    he retire immediately.
[06:19] ---
    He’s not the kind of type to
     just obey like that…?!
[06:25] ---
    After all, he’s of the Uchiha clan.
[06:28] ---
    What’re you talking nonsense for?!
[06:30] ---
    I’ll make him stop, by force if needed!
[06:32] ---
    The Curse Mark responds even
    when one’s just building up Chakra
[06:35] ---
    and attempts to forcibly
    extract his strength!
[06:38] ---
    It’s a prohibited Jutsu that eats
    into the body of the one who uses a Jutsu!
[06:43] ---
    It’s a wonder that kid is even enduring it.
[06:47] ---
    He should really already be dead!
[06:50] ---
    Lord Hokage!
[06:54] ---
    You’re in no condition to
    fight properly, Sasuke…!
[06:58] ---
    Shut up.
[06:59] ---
    I understand!
[07:02] ---
    Be quiet!
[07:03] ---
    But you’ve been enduring the pain
    this whole time, right?!
[07:07] ---
    Please be quiet!
[07:09] ---
    No matter what you say, Sasuke...
[07:12] ---
    I’m going to tell the teachers
    about the bruise!
[07:16] ---
    If I do that...
[07:20] ---
    Well…
[07:22] ---
    Oh…?!
[07:23] ---
    What…?
[07:28] ---
    Excuse me…I’ll quit.
[07:34] ---
    K-Kabuto…?
[07:39] ---
    Let's see...
[07:43] ---
    Kabuto Yakushi of
    the Leaf Village, correct?
[07:47] ---
    Then, you may step back.
[07:50] ---
    Okay.
[07:52] ---
    Kabuto!
[07:54] ---
    Why’re you quitting?!
[07:56] ---
    Tell me! Why?!
[08:00] ---
    This guy…
[08:02] ---
    I’m sorry, Naruto…
[08:05] ---
    But my body is worn out.
[08:11] ---
    Actually before the first exam...
[08:13] ---
    when I wrangled with
    the guys from Sound Village,
[08:15] ---
    I’ve had no hearing at all in my left ear.
[08:20] ---
    To fight right away…
[08:22] ---
    and to be told that my life would
    also be on the line, I can’t go on.
[08:33] ---
    I’ve seen that face a few times.
[08:37] ---
    As I recall, I think he dropped out
    of the main battle before, as well.
[08:42] ---
    What in the world is he thinking?
[08:46] ---
    Anko.
[08:47] ---
    Uh…yes.
[08:51] ---
    Kabuto Yakushi.
[08:53] ---
    According to the data,
    he has failed six straight times.
[08:58] ---
    What about his background?
[09:01] ---
    From his time at the Academy,
[09:02] ---
    he was a student who did
    not really stand out,
[09:04] ---
    and his grades were ordinary.
[09:06] ---
    He finally passed the graduation
     exam on his third try.
[09:10] ---
    After that, as for the missions
    he carried out,
[09:11] ---
    two C-ranks and fourteen D-ranks.
[09:15] ---
    It’s not a battle record to
    write home about.
[09:20] ---
    However…
[09:22] ---
    However…?
[09:23] ---
    It’s about before the Academy.
[09:26] ---
    Hmm?
[09:28] ---
    Do you remember the story...
[09:29] ---
    about the one boy brought back
    from the Kikyo Pass battle?
[09:36] ---
    I remember.
[09:38] ---
    As I recall, I heard an enemy boy survivor
    at the battlefield
[09:42] ---
    was taken back by a Jonin from
    the medical unit.
[09:47] ---
    So he’s that boy…?
[09:50] ---
    Don’t take arbitrary actions.
[09:53] ---
    Have you forgotten
    Orochimaru’s orders?
[09:57] ---
    I leave it to you guys.
[09:59] ---
    You in particular, Yoroi.
[10:01] ---
    There should be no problems
    here with your ability.
[10:07] ---
    This is where you can
    show your strength.
[10:10] ---
    Those of you who are irritated that
    I’m ahead of you.
[10:15] ---
    So you’re Orochimaru’s favorite, huh?
[10:19] ---
    Don’t get all high and mighty, kid.
[10:21] ---
    I understand, Yoroi sir.
[10:30] ---
    Oh.
[10:33] ---
    Naruto… Sasuke…
[10:36] ---
    I wanted to play with you guys
    a little more.
[10:40] ---
    But if I do more than this…
[10:42] ---
    The old me might get stirred up.
[10:45] ---
    I am a spy so far as it goes.
[10:48] ---
    I cannot expose myself, here.
[10:53] ---
    Also…if you are going to watch.
[10:57] ---
    My role of information collecting
    has served its purpose…
[11:01] ---
    Master Orochimaru.
[11:04] ---
    I’ll save the fun, for some other time…
[11:08] ---
    Sasuke…
[11:11] ---
    And Naruto...
[11:13] ---
    You too.
[11:30] ---
    Now then, there are no others
    who will quit?
[11:36] ---
    I must tell the teachers,
    about Sasuke’s bruise!
[11:43] ---
    Huh?!
[11:46] ---
    Be quiet about this bruise.
[11:56] ---
    Why’re you acting tough like that?!
[11:58] ---
    I don’t want to watch you suffer
    all the time anymore!
[12:02] ---
    For me you are…!
[12:04] ---
    This has nothing to do with you!
[12:08] ---
    It’s none of your business.
[12:16] ---
    I said it once before…
[12:22] ---
    I’m an avenger.
[12:25] ---
    This is not just a mere exam to me.
[12:29] ---
    The Chunin business has
    nothing to do with me.
[12:36] ---
    “Am I strong?”
    All I want is the answer to that.
[12:41] ---
    By fighting with those who are strong!
[12:44] ---
    And…
[12:46] ---
    I’m Gaara of the desert.
[12:49] ---
    Hey, you there…
    ldentify yourself.
[12:53] ---
    I declare.
[12:54] ---
    You are absolutely no match for me.
[12:58] ---
    If I have the opportunity to fight you
    in the next exam,
[13:03] ---
    we won’t run or hide.
[13:06] ---
    And they’re... here!
[13:15] ---
    I will not allow even you
    to take my path away from me!
[13:21] ---
    Sasuke…
[13:23] ---
    You!
[13:24] ---
    What’re you doing putting up
    a front, you idiot?!
[13:27] ---
    Here Sakura is this worried about you--!
[13:29] ---
    Naruto!
[13:32] ---
    I want to fight you, too.
[13:35] ---
    Huh?!
[13:44] ---
    What Orochimaru said
    is sitting on my mind.
[13:47] ---
    I will let Sasuke do the test...
[13:50] ---
    – and see how things go.
    – Wha--?!
[13:51] ---
    L-Lord Hokage…!
[13:53] ---
    However, if the Curse Mark opens
[13:56] ---
    and the power gets even a little bit
    out of control,
[13:59] ---
    get in there and stop it.
[14:01] ---
    All right.
[14:02] ---
    But...!
[14:05] ---
    I understand.
[14:13] ---
    Now then, we will begin the preliminaries.
[14:18] ---
    The preliminaries to come
    will be one-on-one individual battles.
[14:22] ---
    In other words,
    actual battle format.
[14:27] ---
    There are now exactly twenty people,
    so we will conduct ten battles.
[14:32] ---
    The winners will be able to
    advance to the third exam.
[14:37] ---
    There are no rules at all.
[14:39] ---
    You will fight until someone dies,
     collapses…or admits defeat.
[14:47] ---
    And... please admit defeat right away
     if you don’t want to die.
[14:52] ---
    However, in case I judge
    that a match is over…
[14:58] ---
    err... I don’t want to needlessly increase
    dead bodies,
[15:02] ---
    so I will intervene and stop the match
    or something to that effect.
[15:05] ---
    What holds the key to your destinies is…
[15:11] ---
    Open it.
[15:22] ---
    This.
[15:24] ---
    The names of two foes will be
    randomly selected and
[15:29] ---
    displayed on this electronic signboard.
[15:34] ---
    Now then, let’s get right down to it
[15:36] ---
    and announce the two names
    for the first battle.
[15:50] ---
    Yoroi Akado vs. Sasuke Uchiha
[15:53] ---
    To think it’d be so soon…?!
[16:01] ---
    I couldn’t ask for more.
[16:03] ---
    No way…!
[16:04] ---
    Why Sasuke?!
[16:13] ---
    Now then, the two displayed on
    the signboard, come forward.
[16:23] ---
    For the 1st battle, Yoroi Akado and
    Sasuke Uchiha have been selected.
[16:29] ---
    No objections, right?
[16:32] ---
    – Right. – No!
[16:44] ---
    All I can do now is watch…
[16:48] ---
    Sasuke…
[16:50] ---
    Sasuke!
[16:52] ---
    If you want to fight me, don’t lose!
[16:56] ---
    Sasuke… You’re acting strange…
[17:01] ---
    Is it because of the Curse Mark…?
[17:03] ---
    Sasuke, do your best!
[17:06] ---
    I guess I’ll wait and see…
[17:12] ---
    The pain won’t go away!
[17:16] ---
    It appears the Curse Mark hurts.
[17:18] ---
    Now then, we will begin the first battle.
[17:25] ---
    Everyone other than the two foes,
    please move to the upper area.
[17:42] ---
    Hey! Kakashi Sensei!
[17:46] ---
    Sasuke!
[17:47] ---
    Huh?
[17:50] ---
    Don’t use the Sharingan.
[17:54] ---
    So you knew?
[17:56] ---
    If that Curse Mark on your neck
    gets out of control,
[17:59] ---
    it could endanger your life.
[18:03] ---
    I believe it.
[18:05] ---
    Well, the match will be
    called off at that time.
[18:09] ---
    I’ll be coming in to stop it,
    so good luck.
[18:13] ---
    Called off, you say?!
[18:17] ---
    It seems this Curse Mark thing
     is responding to my Chakra.
[18:28] ---
    This is my final Chakra…
[18:32] ---
    Sharingan!
[18:39] ---
    Sasuke, stop using the Sharingan!
[18:43] ---
    If I carelessly build up Chakra,
[18:45] ---
    it would extract my spirit energy,
[18:47] ---
    and bring out the Chakra
    inside my body to no end.
[18:53] ---
    In other words, in this match,
[18:55] ---
    I can hardly use even my regular Jutsu,
    not to mention the Sharingan!
[19:03] ---
    However... Yoroi’s ability is
     the worst for you, Sasuke.
[19:17] ---
    Now then… How will I go…?
[19:31] ---
    Don’t act rashly…Sasuke.
[19:35] ---
    Now then, please begin.
[19:38] ---
    Let’s go!
[19:40] ---
    Yeah!
[19:58] ---
    Oh no!
[20:11] ---
    He did it!
[20:20] ---
    My strength…?!
[20:34] ---
    W-What is this?
[20:35] ---
    My body strength has suddenly…!
[20:41] ---
    Sasuke!
[20:58] ---
    Sasuke…!
[21:00] ---
    You…my Chakra…
[21:05] ---
    You just noticed now…?
[21:19] ---
    Hey, can you hear it?
[21:23] ---
    The clear, blue sky goes on and on
[21:33] ---
    The ocean spans limitlessly
[21:42] ---
    Please keep that smile on your face forever
[21:51] ---
    Or else I’ll cry
[21:56] ---
    You won't have to search around you
[22:00] ---
    It’s all ok now.
[22:04] ---
    Everyone is inside
    this hand
[22:13] ---
    when you want to cry, and you want to run away
[22:18] ---
    When you forget what happiness is
[22:23] ---
    Just sing.
[22:27] ---
    Light is born, and darkness was born
[22:32] ---
    The two are one
[22:34] ---
    Harmonia, feel the telepathy
[22:41] ---
    Hey, can you hear it?
[22:51] ---
    Dang it!
    The pain won't go away!
[22:54] ---
    This darned Curse Mark is
    responding all the time!
[22:58] ---
    But I won't let this
    exam get called off!
[23:01] ---
    How will I do?
    How should I fight?
[23:04] ---
    Am I strong?
[23:06] ---
    All I want is the answer to that.
[23:08] ---
    I won't let this thing swallow me up
    in a place like this!
