[00:01] ---
    Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness,
    your uniqueness into strength
[00:09] ---
    Even if you get lost, let’s start walking
[00:18] ---
    One more time
[00:23] ---
    Are you really happy
[00:26] ---
    when you're always meeting
    to someone's expectations?
[00:30] ---
    Even if you change to
    who you really wanna be
[00:34] ---
    Will you always have a great smile?
[00:37] ---
    Dreaming of only “the beginning,”
    I wake up
[00:45] ---
    and someday, I'll live on my own.
[00:54] ---
    Yes, precious things are never in shape
[01:02] ---
    You never know what it is
    when you get it or lose it
[01:09] ---
    Yeah, turn your sadness into kindness,
    your uniqueness into strength
[01:18] ---
    Even if you get lost,
    let's start walking
[01:26] ---
    One more time
[01:55] ---
    His opponent is that Neji, huh…?
[01:58] ---
    The Final Round is altogether different
    than the preliminaries…
[02:01] ---
    After all, Naruto may not be able to…
[02:23] ---
    Entertain me a little, Naruto.
[02:28] ---
    I’ve got a tough job waiting
    for me now, so…
[02:34] ---
    Ultimate Defense: Zero Blind Spot!
[03:13] ---
    Dang it. I can’t catch him at all.
[03:18] ---
    I told you I’m not
    such a fool, didn’t I?
[03:28] ---
    I already know…
    which one is the real one.
[03:39] ---
    Oh.
[03:40] ---
    That is the body
    that has least attacks
[03:42] ---
    due to its fear of having
    Chakra Points attacked.
[03:46] ---
    The more you attack,
[03:48] ---
    the more that one body
    becomes clearly evident.
[03:54] ---
    You’re the real one.
[03:56] ---
    Naruto…
[03:57] ---
    This is as far as it goes.
[04:04] ---
    I said it was pointless.
[04:09] ---
    Don’t let him beat you, Naruto.
[04:16] ---
    I’ve been telling you not
    to frivolously assume things.
[04:22] ---
    What?
[04:24] ---
    It can’t be.
[04:30] ---
    All right! Go, Naruto!
[04:34] ---
    Naruto…!
[04:36] ---
    He foiled my idea and purposely
    and drew one of his clones back?
[04:42] ---
    I’ve been striking from the beginning,
    prepared for an honorable death!
[04:46] ---
    Believe it!
[04:48] ---
    I did it.
[04:56] ---
    That’s…
[05:11] ---
    W-What was that?
[05:15] ---
    Did you think you’d won?
[05:19] ---
    Why?
[05:20] ---
    Naruto’s punch should’ve hit.
[05:24] ---
    That…
[05:29] ---
    Rotation...
[05:35] ---
    That’s Neji’s defense.
[05:38] ---
    You punk.
    Don’t make a fool of me.
[05:46] ---
    The largest range of vision of
    Neji’s Byakugan is nearly 360 degrees.
[05:51] ---
    And he detects all of his opponent’s
    attacks with the Byakugan.
[05:57] ---
    His defense technique,
    the 8 Trigrams Palms Rotation,
[06:00] ---
    will begin from here.
[06:21] ---
    The moment he’s attacked,
    he discharges a large amount of Chakra
[06:24] ---
    from the Chakra holes in the body,
    blocks the enemy’s attack with that Chakra,
[06:28] ---
    moves his own body in a circular motion,
    dodges and repels.
[06:34] ---
    Essentially, it’s difficult to control
    the Chakra discharged from Chakra holes…
[06:38] ---
    To the extent that even Jonin utilize
    the discharge from a part of the body,
[06:42] ---
    like the hands and feet,
    in techniques.
[06:45] ---
    But Neji who has mastered
    Gentle Fist discharges Chakra
[06:49] ---
    from his entire body and
    shuts out physical attacks
[06:52] ---
    just with that discharge power.
[06:55] ---
    In other words,
[06:56] ---
    that’s one more absolute defense
[06:59] ---
    that has more power
    than that Gaara’s Sand Shield.
[07:09] ---
    T-That’s father’s…
[07:11] ---
    The Rotation is a secret Art passed down
    from generation to generation
[07:14] ---
    only to the Hyuga head family,
    in other words the Hyuga clan.
[07:18] ---
    He created that on his own…?
[07:21] ---
    He’s quite the guy…
    To think he’d come this far.
[07:26] ---
    It’s much too soon to be surprised.
    Neji’s true power is still to come.
[07:32] ---
    Dang it.
[07:34] ---
    This is the end.
[07:37] ---
    You’re within the area of my 8 Trigrams.
[07:52] ---
    Gentle Fist Art.
[07:55] ---
    8 Trigrams 64 Palms.
[07:57] ---
    It can’t be.
[07:59] ---
    That pose.
[08:08] ---
    8 Tetragrams…
[08:11] ---
    …2 Palms!
[08:15] ---
    4 Palms.
[08:17] ---
    8 Palms.
[08:20] ---
    16 Palms.
[08:22] ---
    32 Palms.
[08:26] ---
    64 Palms!
[08:33] ---
    The branch family exceeds
    the head family?
[08:50] ---
    It’s over.
[08:57] ---
    Truly a terrifying talent.
[09:00] ---
    To think the power of the
    Hyuga Kekkei Genkai
[09:03] ---
    would be passed on so strongly
    to a child of the branch family
[09:06] ---
    who would never be able
    to be an heir.
[09:11] ---
    Hizashi… You should have
    succeeded the Hyuga family.
[09:16] ---
    I pressed the 64 Chakra Points
    all over your body…
[09:20] ---
    You can’t even stand.
[09:25] ---
    D-Dang it.
[09:28] ---
    Are you frustrated?
[09:30] ---
    Kneeling down before power
    that can’t be changed
[09:33] ---
    and knowing your powerlessness.
[09:36] ---
    Your dreams will come true
    if you just work hard.
[09:39] ---
    That’s just an illusion.
[09:43] ---
    Hey, Hinata. Are you okay?
[09:45] ---
    Oh, man. I knew it.
[09:48] ---
    Naruto.
[10:20] ---
    Bushy brow…
[10:24] ---
    Hinata.
[10:32] ---
    D-Dang it.
[10:36] ---
    Oh.
[10:44] ---
    Naruto.
[10:56] ---
    He… No way.
[11:01] ---
    I told you, didn’t I…?
[11:03] ---
    I don’t know when to give up.
[11:18] ---
    No way.
[11:22] ---
    Hey, you’re bleeding.
[11:25] ---
    What’s wrong?
[11:27] ---
    You’ve still got damage
    from the match.
[11:32] ---
    Hinata… Hang in there.
[11:39] ---
    I’ll take a look at her.
[11:42] ---
    Who’re you?
[11:44] ---
    I’m not suspicious or anything.
[11:47] ---
    Stop already…
[11:49] ---
    It’ll be the same even if
    you fight more than this.
[11:51] ---
    I don’t have a grudge particularly
    against you.
[11:54] ---
    S-Shut up…
[11:56] ---
    Even if you say so,
    I have something against you.
[12:00] ---
    What are you talking about?
[12:01] ---
    Why…? Here you’re this strong…
[12:06] ---
    Why did you, with a look like
    you’ve seen through it all,
[12:10] ---
    go after Hinata mentally
    who was trying so hard?
[12:16] ---
    It has nothing to do with you.
[12:19] ---
    Mocking Hinata, selfishly labeling
    her a failure as you please.
[12:24] ---
    Head family, branch family…
[12:26] ---
    I don’t know what happened to you.
[12:30] ---
    But I won’t forgive the jerk who’d
    call another person a failure.
[12:41] ---
    Hey, you.
[12:43] ---
    It’s okay. I’m a doctor.
[12:47] ---
    Okay… Fine.
[12:49] ---
    If you insist, I’ll tell you about
    the Hyuga’s destiny of hatred.
[12:57] ---
    In the Hyuga head family,
    there’s a secret Ninjutsu
[12:59] ---
    that’s been passed on
    from generation to generation.
[13:02] ---
    That is the Curse Mark Arts.
[13:05] ---
    Curse Mark Arts?
[13:12] ---
    The Curse Mark represents
    a bird in a cage…
[13:17] ---
    and it’s a mark of those who are
    bound to a destiny they can’t escape.
[13:34] ---
    W-What’s…
[13:47] ---
    ...t-that mark?
[13:50] ---
    One day when I was four years old,
[13:52] ---
    this accursed mark was inscribed
    on my forehead with the Curse Mark Arts.
[13:59] ---
    A large ceremony was held in
    the Village Hidden in Leaves on that day.
[14:04] ---
    It was also the day when the
    head Ninja of the Land of Lightning,
[14:07] ---
    the land that the Leaf had
    fought with for many years,
[14:10] ---
    came for the conclusion
    of the allied treaty.
[14:15] ---
    However, there was one clan…
[14:18] ---
    who didn’t attend the ceremony
    that was attended
[14:20] ---
    by everybody else,
    from Leaf Jonin to Genin.
[14:24] ---
    It was the Hyuga clan…
[14:27] ---
    And it’s because that day
    was the day of hope
[14:29] ---
    when the head family heir
    was to turn three.
[14:34] ---
    Miss Hinata’s third birthday!
[14:50] ---
    My father, Hizashi Hyuga,
[14:52] ---
    and Miss Hinata’s father who’s over there,
    Lord Hiashi Hyuga, were twin brothers.
[14:58] ---
    However, Miss Hinata’s father,
    Lord Hiashi,
[15:01] ---
    is the eldest son of the head family
    born into this world first.
[15:06] ---
    And my father who was the second son
    is a member of the branch family.
[15:12] ---
    So Miss Hinata is already three…
[15:14] ---
    Congratulations.
[15:16] ---
    Thank you.
[15:26] ---
    She’s a cute girl, isn’t she, father?
[15:34] ---
    What’s wrong, father?
[15:37] ---
    Oh, it’s nothing.
[15:42] ---
    Then…
[15:43] ---
    I’ll be taking Neji under my care, Hizashi.
[15:46] ---
    Yes.
[15:48] ---
    When the head family heir grew
    and became three years old,
[15:54] ---
    I had the Curse Mark imprinted on me
    and I became the bird in the cage.
[15:58] ---
    And became the Hyuga branch family.
[16:00] ---
    Why’s it necessary to do
    something like that?
[16:03] ---
    Why separate into a head family
    and a branch family?
[16:06] ---
    What does that weird mark mean?
[16:09] ---
    This mark on my forehead
    isn’t just a decoration.
[16:22] ---
    The pull of your legs is weak.
[16:24] ---
    Yes.
[16:32] ---
    Listen, Neji.
[16:34] ---
    You will live to protect Miss Hinata
    of the head family
[16:38] ---
    as well as the Hyuga power.
[16:41] ---
    Yes, father.
[17:05] ---
    Murderous Intent.
[17:14] ---
    My head.
[17:15] ---
    Father.
[17:20] ---
    What’s wrong, father?
[17:22] ---
    Go home.
    I’ll forgive the fool today only.
[17:28] ---
    You’re not to forget your destiny.
[17:36] ---
    This Curse Mark is the absolute fear
    called death so to speak…
[17:39] ---
    that was given to the branch family
    by the head family.
[17:44] ---
    The Secret Sign that the
    head family members form easily
[17:46] ---
    destroys the cerebral nerves
    of those in the branch family.
[17:50] ---
    Of course, killing is easy.
[17:53] ---
    And this mark only goes away
    at time of death.
[17:58] ---
    Sealing away the power
    of the Byakugan.
[18:05] ---
    The Hyuga family is the clan that possesses
    the most distinctive Kekkei Genkai.
[18:10] ---
    There’s no end to those who
    target the secret of that distinctive power.
[18:16] ---
    In other words, this Curse Mark
    keeps the branch family alive
[18:20] ---
    only to protect the head family
    and does not allow disobedience.
[18:24] ---
    And it’s an effective system created
    to defend for eternity
[18:28] ---
    the Kekkei Genkai called Byakugan.
[18:31] ---
    And then, that incident occurred.
[18:36] ---
    My father was killed by
    the head family.
[18:45] ---
    One night, Miss Hinata was
    snatched up by someone.
[19:15] ---
    At that time, Lord Hiashi immediately
    rushed off and killed the abductor.
[19:20] ---
    Who do you think that person was…
[19:23] ---
    who was in the shadows,
    and also wearing a mask?
[19:29] ---
    It was the head ninja of
    the Land of Lightning
[19:33] ---
    who had just completed
    the allied treaty.
[19:36] ---
    It was clear that he came targeting
    the secret of Byakugan from the start.
[19:41] ---
    However, the Land of Lightning
    exploited the killing of their own Ninja
[19:45] ---
    due to a botched plan…
[19:46] ---
    and set an outrageous condition in
    violation of the treaty with the Hidden Leaf.
[19:57] ---
    Naturally, things got worse and worse,
[20:00] ---
    and there was almost a war
    between the Leaf and the Lightning.
[20:03] ---
    However, the Leaf who
    wanted to avoid war
[20:06] ---
    made a deal with the Lightning.
[20:09] ---
    A deal?
[20:11] ---
    The Lightning demand was
    the body of the Hyuga head family
[20:13] ---
    who possesses Byakugan,
    the Kekkei Genkai…
[20:17] ---
    In other words,
    the body of Lord Hiashi.
[20:23] ---
    And the Leaf accepted the condition.
[20:26] ---
    What? But, father…
[20:30] ---
    And war was safely avoided.
[20:34] ---
    Thanks to my father who was killed
    as a body double of Hiashi Hyuga,
[20:40] ---
    to protect the head family!
[20:43] ---
    Other than dying, there’s no other way
    to escape this accursed Curse Mark.
[20:48] ---
    Even though they were twins
    with nearly equal power,
[20:52] ---
    their destinies were already set by
    who was born first and born later.
[21:03] ---
    And then, this match…
[21:05] ---
    Your destiny was decided at the point
    when I became your opponent.
[21:25] ---
    One! First, Tyson jumps and slamdunks
[21:29] ---
    Two! He kisses and hugs everyone
    randomly and says “I LOVE YOU”

    but hates curry
[21:36] ---
    Four! Sanchez is a lousy bullfighter. Ole!

    Fight! Fight! Fight!
[22:03] ---

    so look up and smile too
[22:37] ---
    Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
    Fight! Fight! Fight!
[22:51] ---
    Are all my Chakra Points
    really closed?
[22:55] ---
    Darn. I cannot feel any Chakra
    remaining in my body at all…
[23:00] ---
    just like when I used up all my Chakra
    in my training with the Pervy Sage.
[23:04] ---
    Wait. I got it. Just watch me!
[23:08] ---
    I will squeeze out
    my Chakra no matter what!
[23:11] ---
    Next time, “A Failure’s True Power.”
