Original subtitles

That's right. Sadness to kindness.

Selfishness to strength.

It's okay to be lost.

Start walking.

More. Answer someone's expectations.

Dreamer. Dreamer.

What is it?

Hey, what's wrong?

You want to clue me in on what's going on?

Smells like they're in motion.

Sasuke along with two of the other ones.

And they're moving fast.

Smells to me like Sasuke's chasing them.

Huh? You sure?

But there are two more still there.

Not moving.

So what? Who cares about... What about them? We've got to catch up to Sasuke.

Come on!

What is it?

What's the matter?

The two that are left are about to fight. I can smell it. Huh?

Even if it means losing some time, we should go around them, just to be safe.

Are you crazy? We don't have time to lose time. So what if they're fighting?

deal. I say full speed ahead!

Oh, grow up, Naruto, will you? Who knows what'll happen if we get caught in the

crossfire. What we don't have time for is to get mixed up in someone else's

fight, no matter how much you might get a kick out of it. What are you talking

about? Who says I get a kick out... Listen, kid.

Our mission is to bring Sasuke back.

We should try and avoid any fighting if possible, let alone go out and look for

it. Come on. Right, let's go.

Okay, okay, I'm coming.

Puppet Master Jutsu.

I am a member of the Hidden Leaf Village's Aburame Clan.

When we fight, no matter how puny our opponent is, we don't mock them.

We face them with full strength.

Bring him on.

You sure you're strong enough, Gaara?

Gaara!

There's no telling how long Kankuro can delay Uchiha.

Every second counts.

If we don't keep moving, the whole plan will fail.

Leave me alone, Tamari.

Go away.

You're nothing but a nuisance.

I don't need you.

identity!

Poison on the blade.

It's no use.

Shotgun Chiha?

Did he get past Konkuru already?

No, it was too quick.

Someone else must have shown up. I have no idea what scheme you Sand Village

clowns have got going, but I'll stop it, no matter what it is.

Besides...

I'm dying

to see what you really are.

happening. Any second he's going to let that thing out.

No, not now. Not now.

No, Gaara! Remember our mission!

We're still alike, Uchiha.

I don't have friends as you have.

But they're not what makes you strong.

It's your purpose that does it. In that way, we're alike.

You!

But mine is the stronger purpose.

For only by destroying you and all you represent can I even prove that I exist.

Only by killing you can I know what life is.

What is it? I sense the trace of bloodlust in the air.

All right, come on out.

So it's you.

Tell me what is your true purpose?

Why is it that you seek power?

Like it's any business of yours.

Beat it. You're interrupting my training.

I see it.

You have the eyes.

Eyes that seek power and will do anything to get it.

Even kill.

Eyes full of hate.

Like mine.

We're the same.

You... You are mine.

My brain!

My brain!

My brain!

It's distorted.

I have confusion.

You're making this too easy.

That

did

it.

Huh?

Those damn bugs again.

You made a clone out of bugs, then snuck up behind me.

Not too bad.

It was simple, really.

I can tell from your jutsu that your strength is long -range attacks, not

combat.

Furthermore, you have to focus all of your chakra and attention on

that puppet of yours.

And that, of course, leaves an opening in your defenses.

Thanks for the dissertation, but I'm just getting started here.

Don't worry. If you really want to see how deadly my ninjutsu can be, then

you're in for a real treat.

You haven't seen half of what Crow can do. So far, he's been playing nice!

Huh?

Poison smoke bomb!

Must have inhaled some.

Meanwhile, the attacker hides and waits for it to take effect.

Listen, everyone.

Even if the enemy shinobi do manage to get up here, don't panic.

Just quickly get into the hidden chamber.

Don't worry. Your Jonin and Shunin sensei are here to protect you, even if

costs us our lives.

Don't worry.

It's not as bad as it looks.

Our people will drive the enemy away.

Lord Hokage's face

is beginning to crack.

From this far, this far, to have his cursed soul in my hands

and not have the strength to finish it.

This decrepit old body.

Is it not enough that I'm prepared to die?

You might even have succeeded if you'd been perhaps ten years younger.

Sorotobi, kill him now because if you do not, the village is finished.

Doom, do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Never,

foolish old man.

Let me feel it!

That eye!

The same eye as before!

Looks like I may not finish this before you catch up with me after all.

The

poison

spreading slowly through his system.

Now to finish it.

More bugs?

He shouldn't even be moving with that poison in him.

Let me put you out of

your misery.

What the... What's going on?

What the hell's wrong with it?

No!

It's no use.

He can't move now.

My breath has burrowed into every one of his joints.

He's kindling now.

So that's what he was after. He wanted me to attack so we could get his creepy

crawlies to infect Crow's body.

Now they're going after my chakra puppet strength.

Aye.

Right. I forgot these things eat chakra.

The strings are leading the bugs right to me.

Hmm.

There it is, Chuck. We can stop.

He doesn't know I can reestablish control over my puppet in the blink of

It's what makes me an expert puppet master.

And so what if Crow's body is out of commission?

I don't need his body.

Every part of him is a lethal weapon.

Looks like you underestimated me, bug boy.

For the last time.

There's enough poison on that to drop an elephant fell.

But how?

I don't get it! I was sure to cut the strings before they could find me!

And there's your explanation.

You were so worried about them approaching from the front that you

observe.

A swarm of beetles coming at you from behind.

All this time, they've been slowly closing in on you.

Drawn to your headband.

Huh? To my what?

When I swung at you earlier, I only pretended to miss.

What I really wanted was to plant a beetle on your headband.

But that doesn't explain where the rest of them came from!

I hate having to explain the same thing twice.

Sheena. How did you find us?

I planted a beetle on you as you left the arena.

A female beetle.

She gives off a very faint scent.

Nothing you could detect, but the male of this species can.

So then...

This fog crawling on my forehead is a female.

Yes.

The poison, it

spreads through my whole body.

Looks like I may not make it after all.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Why do you hide, Sasuke Uchiha? Do I frighten you?

Are you shocked by my true form?

Come out, come out, Sasuke Uchiha.

To live, I must kill.

And you?

Thank you for watching!

Monster, his speed and strength are incredible.

Without my shining gun to help me predict his movements, I'd already have

chopped to pieces.

I can't stay on defense forever.

But how can I attack?

What would stop him?

Chidori, do I have enough chakra to do it?

Next time, Sasuke's decision.

Push to the edge!
