Original subtitles

-You think I'm gonna run?

Your, uh-- shadow jutsu.

It lasts about five minutes, as I recall.

And it's just the two of us now.

You make this one easy for me, boy!

Ha!

-If you're counting the original,

my body holds up to five hearts.

Thanks to you, though, I'm not in need of a replacement.

That's why I'll be taking yours.

-Oh, how I've been waiting for this.

-They were two separate bodies.

But they merged.

-The fire style and wind style masks are now one.

-I will take your heart, Kakashi,

to replace the one you took from me.

-Over there.

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): He's trying to force me into the open

where he can shoot m down.

-You call that hiding?

-Sensei!

[theme song]

-You did well this time, Kakashi.

But do you have the courage to show yourself and stand

before us like a man?

-Not again.

Water style, water wall!

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): Looks like fire enhanced with the wind

change in chakra nature can't be put out with water style alone.

Which means I'll just have to fight him in close range.

-No!

-Kakashi-Sensei!

-You took your eyes off me.

An unfortunate distraction.

And now your heart is mine.

-Now die!

How about that?

Pain can be so addicting, can't it?

-I'm counting on you, Shikamaru.

-How worthless.

Jashin must be disappointed it's already over.

Well, then.

I'm sure Kakuzu must be wrapping things up now, too.

-What-- what did you do?

-It seems he pulled it off just in time.

-But-- but how?

-Time to go.

Hm?

SHIKAMARU (VOICEOVER): Not deep enough.

-Damn you.

Why are you still alive?

You shouldn't be standing.

How?

-It's simple.

I fooled you.

You thought you killed me, but you were dead wrong.

And all that blood dripping off your weapon?

It isn't even mine.

That's right.

It's your partner's blood.

-It's not possible.

-That's where you're wrong.

That ritual of your partner's?

Sorry to tell you this.

He used your blood for it.

-So that's the plan.

Use this when you get a chance, Kakashi-Sensei.

Please hold onto it until then.

-You see, Shikamaru knew Hidan's powers utilized other people's

blood, so he prepared blood capsules in advance

just in case.

-What are you saying?

-It could have been anybody.

If there was an opportunity, one of us

had to get a sample from Kakuzu.

See, this capsule came in quite handy.

-It can't be.

When could you possibly have had the chance?

-When I struck you through with my lightning blade.

At that exact moment I extracted your blood.

-I'll get ahold of him.

You guys can stay out of it.

And the diversion-- that'll be me.

I've got this.

That's when I nabbed it.

My job was to trap you.

-Where are we going, kid, huh?

Splitting up me and Kakuzu isn't gonna save you.

Damn you!

-Wasn't wise for the kid to go alone.

He's underestimated Hidan.

He did show a lot of promise, though.

He'd have commanded quite a bounty down the line.

But today that boy dies.

-Yah!

-Anyway, that's how our little strategy played out.

-You little rat.

-No way.

That lousy kid planned that far ahead?

-That's about the size of it.

You should have been more careful.

This time you misunderstood your opponent.

Asuma gave his life leaving behind that information.

No way he was going to let it go to waste.

You people take lives without hesitation.

There's no way you could ever understand

the depth of what Shikamaru feels.

-Kakashi-Sensei!

-Are you OK, sensei?

-Yeah.

Somehow I am.

INO (VOICEOVER): I can't believe they invaded his body that much

in such a short time.

If Shikamaru had taken any longer--

-Slowly.

Make sure not to damage the vessels.

Here, let me treat you with medical ninjutsu.

-It'll have to wait.

They're coming.

-Expansion jutsu!

Super slam!

-Nice work!

Way to go, Choji!

-Huh?

-Choji!

-Dammit.

-What?

He reanimated?

-He somehow absorbed the lightning-style monster's

heart.

-What is he becoming?

-His primary body is becoming a monster, too.

-Not one of my hearts, but two.

This hasn't happened to me in a while.

[laughter]

-You know, I'm not all that bright,

but even I can see through you.

You've used it so many times now.

After seeing you do it so much any idiot

could figure out the ins and outs of your jutsu.

-What did you say?

-I can tell your jutsu isn't as strong as it was before.

It hasn't even been five minutes,

and I can already move again.

Thing is, I realized that both the power and the duration

of your little jutsu gradually weakens each and every time

you use it.

Admit it, kid.

The longer you use the jutsu, the more feeble it gets.

Until you have nothing left.

I'd even venture to guess you're approaching

the limit of your chakra.

Ain't that right?

-This time there's no escape.

-Get ready.

-Right.

-He's fast.

CHOJI (VOICEOVER): I can't move.

-Kakashi, I had intended to replace

the hearts I lost with yours.

But I've changed my mind.

After all, I can find more hearts any time I please.

Now die!

-Wind style, Rasengan!

-Water style, ripping torrent!

-Hurricane fortress jutsu!

-Sorry we're late.

But better late than never.

-Huh?

SHIKAMARU (VOICEOVER): Perfect timing.

[music playing]

-You know what those words mean?

If you curse someone and take them out,

you'll also be defeated in retribution.

You'll end up digging your own grave.

My sensei's gone because of you.

Can't just let you run around free.

This hole's the last thing you'll ever see.

Next time-- When You Curse Someone,

You Dig Your Own Grave.
