I love you.

Thank you. Thank you.

always this lazy?

Where's that weird blonde kid and the one with the attitude?

They're training, climbing trees.

Too tough for you?

No, in fact, I'm the best. That's why the sensei sent me here to guard you.

You're joking.

Tatsuno, I need to talk to you.

What about?

Thing is, I've been thinking a lot about the bridge.

And I decided I've pushed my luck far enough. I want out.

Now you're going to quit on me just like that?

You're kidding!

You know, I stayed on because of our friendship.

But I'm putting my life on the line every day I stay here. Gato and his

will show up eventually.

When they do, they'll kill you and the bridge will never get finished anyway.

It's a lost cause, Tazuna.

Why don't we stop now while we can still get out of this alive?

No, Chan.

Huh?

This is our bridge.

Our island is poor, and it will stay that way until this bridge connects us

the mainland.

Commerce, trade, and hope.

That's what we're building here.

Not gonna be much hope if we're all dead.

It's already noon.

Let's break for lunch.

Kazuna, let's not end it like this. Save your breath.

Oh, and Giichi, don't bother coming back after lunch.

The land where a hero once lived.

Why is it so hard?

Um,

where are we going?

You want to eat tonight, don't you? I gotta pick up some things for dinner.

What's wrong with these people?

Here we are.

Welcome.

This is a door?

There's nothing here.

You really surprised me back there.

Girls around here don't fight like that.

They should. Something's seriously wrong here.

This is how it's been since Gato came here.

The children suffer, and the adults are afraid to stand up to him.

They've lost all hope.

That's why we have to finish the bridge.

It will bring commerce and trade.

But much more importantly, that bridge is a symbol of courage.

We must restore the spirit of our people.

When the bridge is finished, people will start to believe again.

They'll believe that they can live with dignity.

We can't let Gato stop us.

Sasuke! Naruto!

We have to help them!

He's still climbing!

That's impossible!

Damn! He's catching up to me inch by inch!

No! If I think about Sasuke, I'll lose my concentration!

Believe it!

Come on, Naruto.

Center yourself.

Hey, you're good at this. How about some advice?

Uh... Alright.

Chakra requires spiritual energy.

So if you get all anxious and frantic, it doesn't work. You have to relax and

totally focus on the tree. That's how you get a steady chakra flow in the

bottoms of your feet.

Relax. Focus on the tree.

Yeah, I can feel it. I'm going all the way this time.

Hey, Naruto.

Sasuke, what are you doing? I was trying to focus my chakra.

Well, uh, you know, the thing is... The thing is what?

That's strange.

He never talks to me.

What's he up to?

You, you know, you asked Sakura for advice when she was here.

So what did she tell you?

I'm not telling you.

Hey, this is fantastic.

It's been ages since we've had so many guests around our table.

I want some more!

Don't eat so much if you're gonna puke it up!

I have to eat.

And I have to eat more than him. It's the only possible way I'll get strong

enough to beat him.

That's true.

But puking won't help you.

Excuse me. This picture is torn.

Is there some reason for that?

Inari, you kept glancing at it all through dinner.

It looks like there was someone else in the picture, but they got torn out. I

mean, that's kind of strange, isn't it?

It's my husband.

They used to call him a hero in this land.

Inari, where are you going?

Father, you can't talk about him like that in front of Inari. You know that.

Hmm.

Is there a story behind this?

He wasn't his real father. He came into our family later.

And he brought so much happiness.

He and Inari were very close.

In those days, Inari used to laugh all the time.

But then... Hmm?

All that ended.

He never laughs or smiles anymore.

Ever since the day everything changed.

The word courage was stolen from this island. We were left feeling powerless,

hopeless, and Inari suffered the most.

Ever since that day. Ever since it happened.

Tell us.

What happened to Inari?

First, you need to know about the man, his father.

The man who taught us the word courage, who was a hero in this land.

A hero, really?

You can decide that for yourself.

He came here about three years ago.

Poochie!

Poochie, no!

That's not his name.

Starting today, his name is Shooting Star.

And he's my dog now.

No, he's...

My dog! And his name's not Shooting Star!

I've had him since he was a puppy! He's my friend and he doesn't belong to you!

Just shut up!

Pookie!

See what happens when you don't listen to me?

Now I'm not going to lift a finger to help him.

Okay, you can let him go.

If he's your dog, then jump in and get him. Be a big hero and save your friend.

After all that big talk, you're not going to let him go under, are you?

I've got to jump in and save him.

I've got to, but... He won't even help his precious...

You made such a big deal about him, go get him!

I think you went too far, Akane. I mean, he could really drown or

something.

Help! Please!

Forget about it.

I don't know.

You say one more word and you're going in next.

Interestingly enough, at that exact moment Pooch figured out how to dog

Waking up, huh?

Finally.

I had a little talk with those kids. They won't bother you

again.

Here, eat.

Am I alive?

Is this for real?

Did you pull me out of the water, mister?

Have a bite to eat first. Then we can talk all about it.

Hmm, let's see. Your dog abandoned you too, huh?

In my country, dogs are very loyal. They stand by their masters.

Then again, you abandoned the dog first, so what can you expect?

I really wanted to save him, but I just froze.

I was just so scared.

I guess that I just don't have any courage.

Hey, come on. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're a kid. When I was your

was scared, too.

It's no big deal.

But always remember this.

Huh?

Live your life so you have nothing to regret.

If you care about something, protect it. No matter how tough, no matter how sad,

you've got to keep trying.

Even if you have to put your life on the line.

Protect it with both arms. Never give in.

His name was Kaiser.

A simple fisherman who'd come here from another land to follow his dreams.

After that, Dinari and Kaiser were inseparable.

The boy had never known his real father, so you can imagine what it meant to him

to have Kaiser in his life. He looked up to him and followed in his footsteps

like a real father and son.

Kaiser spent more and more time with us until he just naturally became a member

of our family.

And then when this town needed him, he became something more.

We've got trouble, Kaiser!

The floodgates open and the water's rising! If we don't stop it, the lower

district will be flooded!

What? Mother!

Inari, get me some rope! Hurry!

See where the gate is? We need to get a line out there to pull it closed!

A line? You have to swim out there to do that! It's impossible!

No one can make it through that current!

If we don't do it, the whole district will be wiped out!

It's the only way!

I'll do it!

Kaisa!

Don't be foolish!

You'll never make it!

Father!

Don't worry.

Nothing can stop your dad. This is our village, so we've got to do everything

can to help.

If you care about something, protect it.

Even if you have to put your life on the line.

Protect it with both arms. Never give in.

Mother, I know you can do it!

He made it! He tied the rope on!

All right, let's pull it closed!

Everybody, come on!

From that time on...

Kaiser was considered a hero in this land. He taught us all the meaning of

courage, and Inari was so proud to be his son.

But it wasn't long after that Gato showed up and took over.

He terrorized the whole village.

Only Kaiser stood up to it.

Gato couldn't have a local hero getting in his way.

It took his whole gang to stop one man.

You almost laid your hand, Kaiser.

All that talk about how you're going to protect this village with your two arms.

Those arms aren't much good now, are they?

Still got that defiant look in your eye, though.

Well, my men will get rid of that.

Get to work on him. Get down there!

Listen up. This man has defied the Gato Corporation.

He has disturbed the order of this land.

His punishment is execution.

Let this be an example so no one will dare stand in our way again.

Father! Inari, don't.

this land.

With both your arms, you made me believe you could do it.

But it was all just a lie.

Since then, Inaris changed.

So did Tsunami and all our people.

We lost our will.

Huh. There's no such thing as a hero.

Only stupid kids believe that.

What are you doing down there, Naruto?

You better take the day off. No more training.

You've used too much chakra.

If you push any harder, it could kill you.

I'm going to prove it.

Prove what?

I'll prove that it's true. That in this world, there

are real heroes.

Never coming down. Breaking through the content.

Never falling down.

My knees feel shaken.

Like I was grown.

Sneaking out the classroom.

By the back door. I'm all right on my throne.

But I didn't care.

Waiting is wasting.

For people like me.

Huh?

You want something, lady?

I'm in training right now, because we don't know when Zabazal will strike

See, I got the message loud and clear.

You have to protect what you care about. But to do that, you have to be strong.

I'm getting stronger every day.

I'll show Inari there are heroes in this world.

Next time, battle on the bridge.

Zabuza returns.

I'm going to kick more butts than ever. Believe it!
