[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
[00:27] ---
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
[01:43] ---
Release the Genjutsu and
wake up Naruto and Shikamaru.
[01:47] ---
He’ll be getting a mission
after such a long while.
[01:49] ---
What do you mean by a mission?
[01:51] ---
Be careful…
[01:54] ---
It’s the first A-Ranked mission
since the Land of the Waves.
[02:03] ---
Ouch!
[02:05] ---
You were able to release
the Genjutsu too!
[02:07] ---
Why were you pretending
to be asleep?!
[02:10] ---
Track down Sasuke,
join up and then stop him!
[02:14] ---
Then await next orders
in a safe place.
[02:17] ---
Huh? Did something happen to Sasuke?!
[02:20] ---
I’ll tell you the reason en route!
[02:22] ---
Let’s go!
[02:24] ---
H-Hey!
[02:47] ---
I get it! So that’s what happened!
[02:50] ---
That Sasuke, getting all impatient!
[02:54] ---
So, why am I pulled into this?
This is such a drag!
[03:00] ---
It can’t be helped!
[03:01] ---
It’s Kakashi Sensei’s order.
[03:07] ---
This way!
[03:12] ---
How long will it be until
we catch up?
[03:13] ---
I don’t know.
He is moving at a pretty good speed.
[03:17] ---
Dang it!
[03:22] ---
A Shirker’s Call to Action:
Layabout No More!
[03:51] ---
Hey! Hurry it up, you guys.
[03:54] ---
Huh? What is it?
[03:55] ---
Did you find Sasuke?
[03:57] ---
No!
[03:58] ---
There are eight people in
two squads behind us…
[04:01] ---
No…
[04:03] ---
There’s one more…
There are nine people following us.
[04:06] ---
What?!
[04:07] ---
C’mon. Already?!
Give me a break!
[04:31] ---
It looks they haven’t grasped
our location, yet.
[04:39] ---
We must lose them.
[04:51] ---
Hey, what’s the point of stopping?!
[04:54] ---
Shut up and follow me!
[04:56] ---
Huh?
[04:59] ---
We’re going back over our footprints.
[05:02] ---
If we do that,
[05:03] ---
it’ll look to them like our footprints
suddenly disappeared.
[05:09] ---
But, they’ll notice even
if we do this, right?
[05:15] ---
It’ll buy us some time.
That’s enough.
[05:19] ---
It’ll be a matter for great celebration
if our pursuers get impatient,
[05:24] ---
cloud their eyes of pursuit
and lose sight of the trail.
[05:30] ---
Hurry!
[05:32] ---
There’s no time.
[05:34] ---
I-I know!
[06:02] ---
This is not good.
[06:03] ---
Though they're on
alert for ambushes,
[06:06] ---
they’re catching up with us
slowly, but surely.
[06:08] ---
Dang it!
[06:10] ---
Probably they’re all Chunin or higher.
[06:12] ---
We’ll be wiped out if they catch up.
[06:15] ---
Wiped out…
[06:17] ---
Dang it! Since it’s come to this,
why don’t we ambush them?!
[06:21] ---
Ambush?
[06:23] ---
Right.
[06:25] ---
Indeed, an ambush would
be to our advantage.
[06:28] ---
Even if the opponent has twice
the people than we do,
[06:31] ---
if we just catch them off-guard…
[06:33] ---
That’s no good.
[06:35] ---
Our opponents are former
Leaf Shinobi Orochimaru’s henchmen.
[06:39] ---
In the worst case scenario,
there might be Jonin.
[06:44] ---
I thought it’d work,
but I guess not, huh.
[06:47] ---
Hold it. Why?
[06:50] ---
The level of opponent doesn’t have
much to do with an ambush.
[06:54] ---
What do you mean?
[06:56] ---
You guys don’t get it.
[06:59] ---
Listen. Indeed, an ambush is
a very advantageous fundamental tactic.
[07:04] ---
But two conditions are necessary.
[07:08] ---
What are those necessary conditions?
[07:11] ---
Number one.
[07:12] ---
The ones on the run must act without
making noise and find the enemy first.
[07:18] ---
Number two.
[07:19] ---
One must be able to catch
the pursuers off guard,
[07:21] ---
capture a point and position
to be able to inflict certain damage,
[07:25] ---
and conceal oneself quickly.
[07:28] ---
Ah… Huh?
[07:30] ---
An ambush only becomes effective
when these two conditions are ensured.
[07:36] ---
Well, the first condition
won’t be so difficult
[07:39] ---
since we have the Ninja Hound’s nose.
[07:42] ---
And the second one also
seems advantageous at a glance
[07:45] ---
since we know the geography
of our village.
[07:50] ---
But Orochimaru has spent time
in the Leaf before.
[07:53] ---
That approach won’t work
on his henchmen.
[07:57] ---
So what do you really mean?
[07:59] ---
Our pursuers must have been instructed
in the terrain of this village
[08:02] ---
and have gone through
simulated practice for this fight.
[08:06] ---
And on top of that,
[08:07] ---
they’re probably all Ninja
who have mastered the pursuit arts.
[08:12] ---
So they know what cards we have, huh.
[08:14] ---
Well, even so, the fact remains
that an ambush is advantageous.
[08:19] ---
But there are too many elements
of uncertainty.
[08:21] ---
In the first place, the enemy is
a special unit organized for this operation.
[08:27] ---
But we have a fool…
[08:30] ---
a Kunoichi who’s nothing special…
[08:33] ---
and one dog…
[08:35] ---
and, me with the number-one cold feet!
[08:39] ---
A tactic is grasping the conditions
that are there without fail
[08:43] ---
and formulating an optimal plan.
[08:46] ---
And so, there’s only one thing
that we can do now…
[08:51] ---
One?
[08:52] ---
A diversion in the guise
of an ambush.
[08:56] ---
One person will remain,
pretend to ambush,
[08:59] ---
and delay the pursuers.
[09:02] ---
In other words…
[09:04] ---
bait.
[09:07] ---
Right. If we delay them,
[09:10] ---
they won’t be able to grasp
the positions of the remaining three.
[09:13] ---
If we do that, we’ll be able
to shake off our pursuers,
[09:16] ---
but the one who has become
the bait will probably…
[09:22] ---
die.
[09:55] ---
So, who’s going to do it?
[10:03] ---
We need the dog to follow Sasuke.
[10:07] ---
That means…
[10:15] ---
Fine…
[10:17] ---
– I'll…
– I guess it has to be me.
[10:20] ---
Shikamaru?!
[10:21] ---
W-Why you?!
[10:24] ---
It’s better than being wiped out, right?
[10:27] ---
Besides, among us,
[10:29] ---
the only one who is equal
to playing the bait
[10:31] ---
and who has the possibility
of surviving…
[10:36] ---
is me.
[10:42] ---
Shadow Possession Jutsu is an Art
originally intended as a delay tactic, so…
[10:47] ---
Well, I’ll catch up later!
[10:50] ---
Now get going!
[10:57] ---
We’re counting on you, Shikamaru!
[11:02] ---
Sakura!
[11:07] ---
Yeah.
[11:17] ---
Was Shikamaru ever this reliable
of a character?
[11:25] ---
Be careful…
[11:27] ---
Shikamaru.
[11:56] ---
No matter how much you try to erase
the signs of your presence…
[12:02] ---
you’re in plain view.
[12:08] ---
Hey! The enemy is approaching fast.
[12:11] ---
What did you say?!
[12:13] ---
I wonder if he’s really
delaying the enemy.
[12:17] ---
Me with the number-one cold feet!
[12:21] ---
Don’t tell me, Shikamaru…
[12:23] ---
Shikamaru will be okay!
[12:26] ---
Don’t tell me, he ran away.
[12:29] ---
I said he’ll be okay!
[12:31] ---
What’ll be okay?!
[12:32] ---
He has a dirty mouth and
always says stuff is a pain.
[12:36] ---
But he wouldn’t betray us!
[12:40] ---
He hardly ever says
he’ll do something himself,
[12:44] ---
but he makes sure to do it
if he says it!
[12:46] ---
That’s absolute.
[12:48] ---
I want to believe…
I want to believe, but…
[12:53] ---
Pick up the pace!
[13:03] ---
I somehow managed to
get away completely.
[13:12] ---
Their strides are irregular.
[13:14] ---
Urgency is probably increasing
their fatigue.
[13:30] ---
Sorry about that.
[13:32] ---
I was supposed to be the guy
with the number one cold feet.
[13:37] ---
It seems my character has
changed just a bit this time.
[13:42] ---
The fact that I’m tired is true.
[13:44] ---
Those footprints are wrong.
[13:47] ---
By the way, this is what
the dog’s paw print really is.
[14:02] ---
Oh, he’s still a kid.
[14:05] ---
To think we’d all get caught like this.
[14:08] ---
So this is the rumored Leaf Village’s
Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, huh?
[14:14] ---
That’s an old way of saying it!
[14:17] ---
The times are passing!
[14:19] ---
It’s called Shadow Possession Jutsu now,
old man.
[14:26] ---
Sure enough,
that match wasn’t good.
[14:39] ---
I used too much Chakra.
I can’t hang on much longer…
[14:47] ---
1, 2, 3, 4…
[14:51] ---
5, 6, 7…8.
[14:55] ---
Eight people…
[14:57] ---
Eight… No, there’s one more…
[15:00] ---
There are nine people following us.
[15:04] ---
Sure enough, the ninth person’s role is
to protect against them getting ambushed.
[15:09] ---
That person stays at a fixed distance,
[15:11] ---
moves in the back and responds
to an enemy attack.
[15:21] ---
But…this will make clear where
that person’s hiding!
[15:43] ---
There, huh?!
[15:48] ---
Dang it… The Shadow won’t reach.
[15:52] ---
I don’t have the stamina to
send it to Chakra.
[15:56] ---
It’s futile. I see through your technique.
[16:02] ---
Is this as far as it goes?
[16:04] ---
It looks like you’re at your limit…
[16:07] ---
This Shadow Possession Jutsu
is going to break very soon.
[16:10] ---
Prepare yourself!
[16:23] ---
I wanted to…
become a Ninja any which way,
[16:26] ---
save up money any which way,
[16:28] ---
get married any which way to
an ordinary woman
[16:31] ---
who’s neither beautiful nor ugly
[16:33] ---
and have two kids any which way.
[16:35] ---
First will be a girl, and then a boy…
[16:39] ---
I would retire from being a Ninja
when my eldest daughter marries
[16:42] ---
and my son becomes a full-fledged man.
[16:44] ---
And then I take it easy
in my life of retirement
[16:48] ---
playing Japanese chess
and Go the whole day.
[16:51] ---
Then I die of old age before my wife.
[16:55] ---
Such a life would’ve been nice.
[16:57] ---
I was out of character,
I tried too hard this time.
[17:00] ---
I wanted it to end in an ordinary way.
[17:04] ---
What I did was a drag…
[17:09] ---
Hmm, the movements of
our pursuers have stopped.
[17:13] ---
Yes! The delaying was a success!
[17:17] ---
Shikamaru, eh?
[17:20] ---
I’m sorry I doubted you, even a little.
[17:24] ---
Okay!
[17:25] ---
Now…you wait, Sasuke.
[17:30] ---
And…Shikamaru…
[17:33] ---
Live, and catch up to us no matter what!
[17:39] ---
As you say, it seems I’m at my limit.
[17:53] ---
Hey, come on out.
[18:00] ---
While you’re at it, cut off his head.
[18:19] ---
I finally caught up.
[18:21] ---
A-Asuma?! Why?
[19:20] ---
Well done, Shikamaru.
[19:28] ---
Sure enough, out of character.
[19:31] ---
For the time being, you retire here.
[19:40] ---
Hurry!
[19:48] ---
What a pest.
[19:52] ---
The pursuers have increased?
Two? No, three?
[19:57] ---
Kankuro! Pick up the pace!
[20:00] ---
Okay.
[20:09] ---
I won’t let you get away.
[20:14] ---
Don’t jump the gun, Sasuke.
[20:18] ---
Sasuke.
[21:08] ---
Now then, shall we begin?
[21:17] ---
Everyone makes mistakes
lt’s nothing to be ashamed about
[21:28] ---
Don’t let this scar be for naught
Walk with a smile
[21:49] ---
Yes, breathe in the air
Lift your face to the sky and jump
[21:55] ---
If it rains, take a break
Go where the wind takes you
[22:00] ---
So many regrets
Don’t let this scar be for naught
[22:05] ---
Let’s go carve the badges in our chest
Yes, it’s Show Time, life begins now.
[22:10] ---
Everyone makes mistakes
It’s nothing to be ashamed about
[22:21] ---
Don’t let this scar be for naught
Walk with a smile
[22:31] ---
Transform sadness into the wind
and continue to forge on
[22:42] ---
Forge on strong
[23:01] ---
I don’t know what’s going on!
[23:04] ---
Why is Old Man Hokage
fighting with Orochimaru?
[23:06] ---
Why is Sasuke going after
that guy with shadows around his eyes?
[23:09] ---
I don’t understand why we have
to go after him,
[23:12] ---
but that’s what we have to do right now!
[23:15] ---
Wait up, Sasuke!
[23:18] ---
Next time: “An Unrivaled Match:
Hokage Battle Royale!”
[23:22] ---
What the heck’s happening
to the village?!
