-Oh, Lady Chiyo, you--

-I don't get it.

What she's trying to do?

NEJI (VOICEOVER): Medical Ninjutsu?

No.

-We have to get back and neutralize

that poison, and quickly.

Our job here is finished.

We beat him.

-But more than that, there's something I must do.

My job isn't done yet.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): So this is what she was talking about.

-Is that?

KAKASHI: Yeah.

-Leave him alone, will you?

What do you think you're doing?

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Lady Chiyo is

exchanging her own life for his.

-Sakura, what?

-It's gonna be all right.

She's bring him back.

-She's bringing him back?

What are you talking about?

I mean, how is that even possible?

-This jutsu, only Lady Chiyo knows it.

It's a special jutsu.

-Wait.

Are you serious?

NEJI (VOICEOVER): Such a convenient jutsu

should not be possible.

That chakra flow.

There's no question.

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): It comes at a considerable risk.

[groan]

-Not enough chakra.

[panting]

Come on.

-You can use my chakra.

Take as much as you need to.

That'll work, won't it, Granny?

Please?

[panting]

KAKASHI: Naruto and Gaara are both jinchuriki.

Naruto knows how Gaara feels better than anyone in the Sand

ever could.

After all, those who are jinchuriki

have been treated the same way in every village.

That's why he feels this desperate need to save Gaara.

It doesn't matter whether Gaara's

from the Sand or the Leaf or anywhere else.

CHIYO: Place your hands on top of mine, son.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

KAKASHI: Naruto's dream is to become Hokage.

So the news that Gaara had been made Kazekage

hit him pretty hard.

He was frustrated, but at the same time, deep in his heart,

he was profoundly happy for Gaara.

You see, Naruto has another remarkable gift.

He doesn't need much time or many words to make friends

with almost everyone he meets.

CHIYO: In this world of shinobi created by frivolous old people

it's a great comfort to know that new souls like

yourself have come along.

Up till now, everything I've done in my life has been wrong.

But at least, here in my final hour,

I can finally do something right for a change.

The Sand and the Leaf, may the future that awaits them

be different from the way things were in our time.

This special power of yours that Kakashi spoke about of,

that power will change the future dramatically.

Become a Hokage the likes of which has never been seen.

And as for you, Sakura.

-Yes.

CHIYO: In the future, help those closest to your heart,

not some old grandmother with one foot in the grave.

You're a lot like me, child.

So few women possess such strong spirit.

You'll surpass your master as a kunoichi.

I've little doubt.

Naruto, do an old woman a favor, will you?

You are the only person in the world

who knows the extent of Gaara's pain.

He also knows your pain.

Please, look after Gaara.

-Gaara.

Gaara!

GAARA: Who is that?

Who's-- who's calling me?

Who is it?

This hand.

Oh.

It's just my hand again.

My hand-- me.

Who am I?

I-- I am--

-Gaara.

-Naruto.

What is this?

-They all came running to help you.

You've had everyone worried half to death.

-Lord Gaara!

Sir, are you all right?

Yeah!

[cheering]

Welcome back, sir!

-You sure had us worried there.

-No kidding.

You caused us a whole ton of grief there, little brother.

-Ugh.

Will you two quit putting on airs already?

Gaara's the Kazekage, Remember?

Ugh.

Show a little respect, you nitwits.

-Gaara, talk to me.

How do you feel?

-Easy.

You shouldn't get up too quickly.

Your body hasn't completely recovered from the rigor mortis

yet.

-Oh.

Thanks be to the heavens!

I thought we'd lost him.

Without the Lord Kazekage I'd--

-Get a hold of yourself.

There's no way we'd ever lose Lord Gaara.

Lord Gaara is the hottest thing ever.

He's a quiet, cool, strong, and elite warrior.

-Yeah.

Lord Gaara is totally gorgeous, isn't he?

After all, he is Kazekage.

-If anything should ever happen again,

I'll protect him with all my heart.

-No.

I will!

-Get in line.

-Lord Gaara!

-I know I'm still a genin and all, but come on.

Cut me a break.

KANKURO: Ah, don't sweat it.

Women always go weak in the knees

for that cool, elite type of guy.

So what can you do?

Am I right?

-I'm pretty sure Shikamaru said something like that once too.

GAARA: He's known the same pain I have,

and he taught me that I can change

the path my life will follow.

One day, Kankuro, I'd like to become something precious

to others too.

KANKURO: Naruto, thank you.

-Huh?

Hey.

Don't look at me.

It's granny over there that you should be thanking.

She saved Gaara with some kind of incredible Medical Ninjutsu.

She tired herself out and fell asleep,

but I'm sure she'll be fine when we get her back to the village.

KANKURO: No. She won't.

Granny Chiyo used "that" jutsu.

-What are you talking about?

Why won't she?

-I will.

-Huh?

-Huh?

KANKURO: She wasn't using Medical Ninjutsu.

It was a Reanimation Ninjutsu.

Granny Chiyo is dead.

-Reanimation Jutsu?

-What are you saying?

How can she be dead?

-It's a ninjutsu that allows you to bring someone back

from the dead in exchange for your own life.

-It can't be.

NEJI (VOICEOVER): As I thought.

-Guy-sensei.

-Mm.

-Years ago, in our Puppet Master corps,

a jutsu was secretly developed to breathe life

into actual puppets.

Granny Chiyo led that project.

They did come up with a method for it, however,

midway they concluded there was too much risk involved.

It was classified as forbidden jutsu

before human testing could be done, and sealed away.

CHIYO: In this world of shinobi created

by frivolous old people, it's a great comfort

to know that new souls like yourself have come along.

Up till now, everything I've done in my life has been wrong.

But at least here in my final hour

I can finally do something right for a change.

The Sand and the Leaf, may the future that awaits them

be different from the way things were in our time.

This special power of yours that Kakashi spoke of,

that power will change the future dramatically.

Become a Hokage the likes of which has never been seen.

-Fell for that one, didn't you?

I was just playing possum.

[laughter]

-Look at her.

I half expect her to burst out laughing.

Her face is so peaceful.

-Yes.

Yes.

TEMARI: Naruto, there really is something different about you.

It's true.

You do have the power to change people.

Lady Chiyo always used to say that she didn't

care about the future of the Hidden Sand Village.

She wasn't the kind of person who

would do something like this for Gaara.

KAKASHI: Lady Chiyo entrusted the future to you and Gaara.

It was a death befitting a shinobi.

-Yeah.

Just like the Third.

-That's true.

-Hm.

I get it now.

I understand what Granny wished for.

-Lord Gaara, are you all right?

-I'm fine.

Everyone, pray for Lady Chiyo, and bid her farewell.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Lady Chiyo.

[theme music]

-We've finally gotten word from the Sand Village.

Lady Chiyo was the only casualty.

The Kazekage has been returned to his village safely.

Teams Guy and Kakashi completed their missions.

They're scheduled to return in three days.

-Hm.

Sounds like it went smoothly.

SHIZUNE (VOICEOVER): I'm a little worried though, milady.

TSUNADE (VOICEOVER): What do you mean?

SHIZUNE (VOICEOVER): Lady Tsunade, if I may?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Next time-- Return of the Kazekage.

[theme music]

TSUNADE (VOICEOVER): Gallery of memories.

TEMARI: Hey, Gaara.

-Hm?

-Check it out.

I found a bunch of old photos.

You wanna have a look?

-Let's see 'em.

KANKURO: Oh, hey.

These are from the chunin exams in the Leaf.

TEMARI: Can you believe it's been three years?

KANKURO: That's when Gaara flipped out and went

on a rampage.

TEMARI: I don't what was gonna happen.

Although, I never thought Gaara could

be stopped by such a knucklehead.

GAARA: We are greatly indebted to Naruto Uzumaki and the Leaf

Village.

TEMARI: Well, we are allies with them now.

KANKURO: Plus, we helped them out

with the Hidden Sound Village.

GAARA: And I intend to maintain that bond with the Leaf.

-Hey, by the way.

-Hm?

-You've got a million pictures of Gaara and almost none of me.

What's up with that?

-Well, Gaara's kind of a fan favorite.

Give the people what they want, right?

-Oh, man.

That hurts.

-Sorry.
