    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
[01:11] ---
    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.
[01:43] ---
    Now, let the tenth round begin.
[01:48] ---
    Do your best!
[01:49] ---
    Fatso!
[01:53] ---
    Damn it!
[01:54] ---
    Those two better watch out!
[01:55] ---
    I’ll end this match quickly and
    turn you into mincemeat!
[02:01] ---
    Then let's not play around...
[02:03] ---
    I’ll finish you off quickly, Mr. Fatso.
[02:07] ---
    You bandaged cucumber roll!
[02:11] ---
    I know his Achilles heel all too well
    from my last battle with him.
[02:16] ---
    Those holes in his arm emit
    a pulsing sound, so…
[02:21] ---
    Ninja Art!
[02:22] ---
    Expansion Jutsu!
[02:24] ---
    Followed by the
    Hidden Leaf-style Taijutsu!
[02:31] ---
    All I have to do is to prevent him
    from aiming at my ears!
[02:33] ---
    Human Boulder Jutsu!
[02:35] ---
    Hooray for Big-Boned!
[02:39] ---
    Good!
[02:40] ---
    Squash him, Choji!
[02:43] ---
    This guy can attack sonically without
    even touching the opponent…
[02:50] ---
    But that’s only when ears are showing!
[02:53] ---
    With Choji’s whole head buried,
    it’s like he’s wearing ear plugs.
[02:56] ---
    how does anyone make a sonic attack
    on a meat ball,
[02:58] ---
    let alone one that’s rolling?
[03:05] ---
    The way you are…
    you can barely move, can you?
[03:08] ---
    That’s where I attack!
[03:11] ---
    It’s no use, I’m wearing ear plugs.
[03:13] ---
    No, this is the end!
[03:17] ---
    Oh?!
[03:26] ---
    The human body is made up of 70% water,
    and water is able to transmit sound waves.
[03:33] ---
    In other words, your whole body is like
    one big ear.
[03:41] ---
    And the winner is, Kinuta Dosu!
[03:46] ---
    Lord Orochimaru…no, Orochimaru!
[03:51] ---
    I’ll have you know that...
    I’m more than a mere guinea pig.
[03:57] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:59] ---
    I-I want to eat meat…
[04:01] ---
    Oh man...
    And the guy went easy on him, too.
[04:04] ---
    Although he lost, the least we can
    do for him is take him for some BBQ beef.
[04:10] ---
    It’s finally over.
[04:13] ---
    At long last, the Final Round…
[04:17] ---
    With this, the preliminaries for
    the third exam is completed.
[04:22] ---
    A Shadow in Darkness:
    Danger Approaches Sasuke
[04:33] ---
    I wonder what’s happened to Naruto?
[04:37] ---
    Let’s go outside now.
[04:40] ---
    Iruka Sensei hasn’t been alert recently,
    so now’s our chance.
[04:43] ---
    Hey!
[04:44] ---
    Konohamaru!
[04:46] ---
    You intend to sneak out again, do you?
[04:49] ---
    I-I need to go to the bathroom!
[04:50] ---
    Liar!
[04:53] ---
    To everyone who has advanced to
    the Final Round
[04:56] ---
    of the third test of the Chunin Exams,
[04:58] ---
    there’s one person who’s missing,
    but, congratulations.
[05:04] ---
    Sensei…
[05:05] ---
    Hmm?
[05:07] ---
    I have a question.
[05:11] ---
    About Sasuke?
[05:13] ---
    Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t know much.
[05:17] ---
    But don’t worry too much.
[05:20] ---
    From here on, it’s up to Sasuke.
[05:26] ---
    Sakura, I have to step out
    for a moment.
[05:29] ---
    Please inquire about the
    details of the Final Round!
[05:33] ---
    Sure.
[05:38] ---
    Here, in our house,
    including Sasuke who’s not here,
[05:41] ---
    we have five Leaf,
[05:45] ---
    three Sand,
[05:48] ---
    and one Sound.
[05:51] ---
    Well, I will begin the explanation
    of the Final Round.
[05:55] ---
    Finally!
[06:04] ---
    The preliminary battles have
    ended without incident.
[06:06] ---
    It seems they’re now entering
    the Final Round.
[06:10] ---
    This land really has become
    peaceful, hasn’t it?
[06:12] ---
    This peaceful time has put
    this country in slumber...
[06:18] ---
    while all the other lands are busy racing
    to expand their military.
[06:24] ---
    Would it be possible for us
    to take it now?
[06:27] ---
    Humph, I suppose.
[06:30] ---
    Though, I don’t know how much fun
    it would be to take out that old man.
[06:35] ---
    Is that so?
[06:39] ---
    To me, it looks like you are still have
    a hesitation about it.
[06:44] ---
    From now on, the power of
    each Hidden Village will clash
[06:47] ---
    with one another in a long
    and violent manner.
[06:49] ---
    The Sound village is also one of them…
[06:52] ---
    You intend to be the trigger
    for all of that…
[06:57] ---
    And use him for a bullet.
[07:01] ---
    Our Sasuke…right?
[07:07] ---
    You guess well.
[07:09] ---
    So well that it’s a bit creepy.
[07:11] ---
    Not in the slightest.
[07:14] ---
    I still had no idea about
    Dosu, Zaku or Kin.
[07:18] ---
    In gathering information on Sasuke,
[07:21] ---
    I desired to learn their skills
[07:23] ---
    and carried out tactless things like
    deliberately subjecting myself to an attack.
[07:28] ---
    You overestimated me.
[07:32] ---
    It seems that you…
[07:33] ---
    you don’t trust me completely…yet.
[07:39] ---
    Was it necessary to tell you,
    my right-hand man,
[07:43] ---
    about the likes of those three?
[07:46] ---
    You see, therein lies
    the very proof of my trust.
[07:53] ---
    And because I do…
[07:58] ---
    I would like to leave Sasuke
    in your hands.
[08:03] ---
    The Curse Mark that was given to him…
[08:05] ---
    appears to have been sealed by Kakashi.
[08:08] ---
    Though, that won’t matter much.
[08:11] ---
    While there is still some
    darkness left in his heart…
[08:15] ---
    I want you to abduct him.
[08:18] ---
    That’s an uncharacteristically
    hasty request, is it not?
[08:22] ---
    There’s a little something troubling me…
[08:27] ---
    Is it Naruto Uzumaki?
[08:31] ---
    You’re quite a sharp one,
    aren’t you?
[08:35] ---
    Sasuke has lived for revenge
    against his older brother Itachi,
[08:41] ---
    and will not rest until he
    has achieved that aim.
[08:45] ---
    Nevertheless, in battle with me,
[08:47] ---
    he was aware that there were things
    beyond his power and
[08:50] ---
    faced death without fear.
[08:53] ---
    I didn’t think he’d be the type of
    person who would be in a hurry to die.
[08:57] ---
    According to your information,
[08:58] ---
    contact with that Nine-Tailed kid has
    altered Sasuke’s heart and mind.
[09:06] ---
    So much so, that he possesses
    some influence over Sasuke.
[09:10] ---
    The best thing to do is to get Sasuke
    away from him immediately…
[09:15] ---
    And quickly turn him in my color.
[09:28] ---
    Well, then…
[09:29] ---
    Kabuto…
[09:30] ---
    You...
[09:33] ---
    If you wish to stop me…
[09:43] ---
    You have no choice
    but to kill young Sasuke, now.
[09:49] ---
    You can’t possibly kill me…
[09:52] ---
    Though you are strong, you’re only
    in the same league as Kakashi.
[10:07] ---
    Just kidding…
[10:09] ---
    Now, run along.
[10:11] ---
    I trust you.
[10:20] ---
    That face…
[10:22] ---
    I wonder what could possibly
    be going on in his head?
[10:26] ---
    The Final Round is where
    each one of you
[10:28] ---
    will show off your battle skills
    in front of everyone.
[10:30] ---
    I want you to satisfactorily demonstrate
    and show off your ability
[10:33] ---
    as representative battle forces
    of your respective lands.
[10:37] ---
    Accordingly, the Final Round will
    commence one month from now.
[10:41] ---
    W-We’re not going to
    do it here, right now?
[10:44] ---
    This is so that there’s
    a suitable period of preparation.
[10:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:50] ---
    That is to say…
[10:51] ---
    Along with the announcement of
    the conclusion
[10:54] ---
    of the preliminary match to each
    country’s Daimyo and Shinobi leaders,
[10:57] ---
    readying the summons for
    Final Round requires preparation time—
[11:01] ---
    not to mention the time it takes
    for you examinees to prepare.
[11:06] ---
    This old man always has such
    a roundabout way of saying things.
[11:10] ---
    I don’t quite get what
    you’re trying to say.
[11:12] ---
    What do you mean?
[11:14] ---
    In other words,
    in order to know your adversary,
[11:16] ---
    in order to prepare yourself,
    time is necessary.
[11:18] ---
    Time to analyze what you learned about
    the adversaries in the preliminaries...
[11:21] ---
    time to take stock of your successes.
[11:24] ---
    The battles until now were
    like actual battles-
[11:27] ---
    it presupposed situations in which
    you can’t know your adversary.
[11:32] ---
    That’s for sure…
[11:34] ---
    I never dreamed that this guy
    could make sand into a weapon.
[11:38] ---
    However, this is not the case
    in the Final Round.
[11:41] ---
    Some of you might have already
    revealed everything in front of your rivals…
[11:47] ---
    In the spirit of fairness and equality,
[11:49] ---
    you will have a month to
    train yourself to further your skills.
[12:07] ---
    Now, I can’t be thinking of this
[12:09] ---
    as some sort of month-long
    holiday and do nothing! Believe it!
[12:12] ---
    Seriously! Seriously!
[12:29] ---
    It might not be good idea to
    excel too much, is it?
[12:32] ---
    We failed to stay out of Orochimaru’s
    watchful eye,
[12:37] ---
    and it was unfortunate for us both.
[12:40] ---
    Under this gentle exterior,
    a seed of evil took root –
[12:44] ---
    and it was this seed that was exploited…
[12:46] ---
    Some day, through that Ninjutsu…
[12:49] ---
    this child will as well…
[12:56] ---
    Kabuto…
[12:58] ---
    Who knows?
[13:00] ---
    Perhaps he really will kill Sasuke.
[13:18] ---
    I have to give it you, Kakashi…
[13:20] ---
    Stopping my attack from your blind spot…
[13:24] ---
    But, you’d better ready at least
    10 of your men next time.
[13:33] ---
    The Anbu that I prepared were
    taken out without difficulty…
[13:37] ---
    You’re not an ordinary Genin are you?
[13:40] ---
    You caught a whiff of me and immediately
    readied your weapon…
[13:44] ---
    you’re quite impressive.
[13:46] ---
    No, I’m not all that.
[13:49] ---
    What do you want with Sasuke?
[13:51] ---
    Depending on circumstances,
    I’ll haul you off to questioning.
[13:55] ---
    I wonder if that’s possible
    for the likes of you…
[13:59] ---
    Are you looking to take me on?
[14:06] ---
    You are the son of the chief of the
    Leaf medical corps, aren’t you?
[14:11] ---
    Your name, was it, Kabuto Yakushi?
[14:16] ---
    Are you affiliated with Orochimaru?
[14:21] ---
    If you arrest me here now,
[14:23] ---
    you might never be able to prove
    my connection to Orochimaru.
[14:27] ---
    Shut up and confine your answers
    to my questions.
[14:30] ---
    What if I say “No”?
[14:32] ---
    I’m the one asking the
    questions around here.
[14:35] ---
    Now give me some answers.
[14:36] ---
    You’ll find out before long anyway
    if you let me go,
[14:40] ---
    so can you make an exception
    just this once?
[14:43] ---
    You, willful little brat…
[14:47] ---
    Don’t mess around with grown-ups.
[14:50] ---
    Don’t be so arrogant.
[14:54] ---
    The circumstances are in my favor…
[15:23] ---
    I should have known.
[15:27] ---
    A shadow clone!
[15:56] ---
    Darn…I've let him escape.
[16:04] ---
    Impressive…
[16:11] ---
    As I suspected...
[16:12] ---
    This is the Dead Soul Jutsu,
[16:13] ---
    where one temporarily animates
    and controls the heart of a dead body.
[16:18] ---
    Meticulously transforming even the face…
[16:21] ---
    and also stopping his heartbeats
    and eliminating all traces of his body odor…
[16:25] ---
    in order to prepare an escape by
    impersonating a murdered Anbu…
[16:32] ---
    He wasn't raised as the adopted son of
    the chief of the medical corps for nothing.
[16:36] ---
    If someone this good is working
    for Orochimaru…
[16:41] ---
    I can’t stay as I am now…
[16:45] ---
    Now that that’s done…
[16:46] ---
    I’d like to let you take your leave…
[16:50] ---
    But first, for the Final Round,
[16:52] ---
    there is one more important
    matter to take care of.
[16:56] ---
    Let’s get on with it,
    so we can get to training!
[17:00] ---
    Now, now. I want you all to
    calmly take one slip of paper
[17:04] ---
    from the box that Anko is holding.
[17:07] ---
    I’m going to go around in order…
    take only one.
[17:21] ---
    Good, everyone has taken
    a number.
[17:23] ---
    Then, from left to right, tell me
     the number on your slip of paper.
[17:27] ---
    I’m eight.
[17:29] ---
    I’m one.
[17:31] ---
    Seven.
[17:32] ---
    Five.
[17:34] ---
    Three.
[17:34] ---
    Nine.
[17:35] ---
    Two.
[17:36] ---
    Six.
[17:38] ---
    In other words, he has number four.
[17:41] ---
    Uh-huh.
[17:43] ---
    Very well, I will tell you
[17:44] ---
    about how the Final Round
    tournament will work.
[17:48] ---
    Huh?
[17:50] ---
    Is that what these
    drawing lots were for?
[17:52] ---
    Ibiki, bring forth the pairings.
[17:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:04] ---
    He’s so far away.
[18:06] ---
    Is that all the Final Round is,
    a tournament?
[18:09] ---
    Shoot! I have one extra round.
[18:12] ---
    Vendetta for Choji?
    Give me a break!
[18:17] ---
    I’m so relieved to know that
    I won’t be in the same section as Gaara.
[18:20] ---
    Sasuke Uchiha…
[18:23] ---
    Perfect.
[18:25] ---
    Hyuga Neji, right off the bat?
[18:29] ---
    This couldn’t be better!
    Believe it!
[18:33] ---
    Sasuke has to go up against him…?
[18:40] ---
    Could I ask a question?
[18:42] ---
    Go ahead.
[18:43] ---
    Does this mean that there will
    only be one winner of the tournament?
[18:47] ---
    That only one of us will be
    able to become a Chunin?
[18:52] ---
    No, on the contrary.
[18:54] ---
    The judges of the Final Round,
    of which I am one,
[18:58] ---
    will be made up of the Kazekage,
[18:59] ---
    the Daimyo from various countries
    who will assign you your missions,
[19:02] ---
    and the Shinobi Leaders.
[19:06] ---
    Through this tournament,
[19:07] ---
    these judges will be able to make
    a thorough evaluation,
[19:12] ---
    and come to a decision as to
    whether each one of you
[19:14] ---
    possesses the qualities incumbent
    of a Chunin.
[19:17] ---
    Even if someone loses the first round,
    they can still become a Chunin.
[19:22] ---
    So there’s a chance that all
    of us will become Chunin?
[19:27] ---
    Correct, but conversely,
    there’s also a chance that none of you will.
[19:32] ---
    To “advance” in the tournament,
[19:35] ---
    means maximizing chances
    to appeal yourselves to the judges.
[19:40] ---
    Understood, Shikamaru?
[19:44] ---
    This is all a real pain in my…
[19:48] ---
    Thank you for your patience.
[19:50] ---
    We will adjourn until next month.
[19:52] ---
    The second round will either be
    No Eyebrows from Sand or Sasuke, huh?
[19:57] ---
    That guy is so strong he kicked
    Bushy Brow’s butt.
[20:00] ---
    Sand Coffin!
[20:08] ---
    I want to fight you, too.
[20:17] ---
    Now that it’s come to this,
    I’ve got to see Kakashi Sensei.
[20:19] ---
    Umm, where’s the room
    that Sasuke’s in?
[20:23] ---
    I’m sorry. Mr. Sasuke
    is not allowed visitors.
[20:25] ---
    What?! Hey, hey!
    What's up with that?!
[20:28] ---
    I’m sorry, those are the rules.
[20:29] ---
    Why, Sis, tell me why?
[20:31] ---
    Naruto, this is a hospital.
    Keep it down.
[20:35] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[20:37] ---
    Say! Say!
[20:38] ---
    I’ve got a favor to ask!
[20:40] ---
    You don’t need to say it all.
[20:42] ---
    Well, I thought it would
    come to this so…
[20:44] ---
    I searched for someone
    to watch your training.
[20:47] ---
    Why?! I want you to, Kakashi Sensei!
[20:51] ---
    I have some matters to take care of.
[20:53] ---
    I don’t have the time to trouble
    myself with you.
[20:58] ---
    Oh! Aha...!
[21:01] ---
    You’re going to train
    Sasuke, aren’t you!
[21:04] ---
    Well, don't say that.
[21:06] ---
    I found a sensei who’s
    more reliable than I am!
[21:09] ---
    Well…who is it?
[21:12] ---
    It’s me!
[21:13] ---
    Huh?
[21:16] ---
    You!
[21:17] ---
    The Closet Perve!
[21:19] ---
    Such insolence!
[21:23] ---
    Hey, can you hear it?
[21:28] ---
    The clear, blue sky goes on and on
[21:37] ---
    The ocean spans limitlessly
[21:46] ---
    Please keep that smile on your face forever
[21:55] ---
    Or else I’ll cry
[22:01] ---
    You won't have to search around you
[22:05] ---
    It’s all ok now.
[22:09] ---
    Everyone is inside
    this hand
[22:18] ---
    when you want to cry,
    and you want to run away

    Harmonia, feel the telepathy

    Hey, can you hear it?
[22:56] ---
    Darn! I’m not satisfied with this!
[22:59] ---
    I don't care if you’re elite tutor
    or whatever,
[23:01] ---
    but there’s no way
    I’m not going to get stronger
[23:03] ---
    if I’m to learn from the Closet Perve
    weaker than me!
[23:05] ---
    I have to get strong by any
    means necessary, no matter what!

    If you’re really a strong ninja,
[23:11] ---
    just try to convince me
    with your sheer strength!
