NARUTO (VOICEOVER): I'm a frog.

A frog.

-Can you hear the froggy song?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Become one with Gamatatsu.

-Can you hear the froggy song?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Read his thoughts, and respond to them.

-Yes, I hear the froggy song.

-Yes, I hear the froggy song.

-Ribbity, ribbity.

-Ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbity.

-Can you hear the froggy song?

-Yes, I hear the froggy song.

Ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbitt, ribbity,

ribbity.

Naruto, you don't look like you've opened up your mind yet.

Don't focus on his movements so much.

Try and feel Gamatatsu's emotional vibes,

then channel them using your own style.

-I'm trying!

-Ow!

-Uh-- heh, heh.

Um-- sorry about that.

-(SINGING) Everyone, look, Gamakichi is singing.

Hear his noble song!

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

Everyone, look, Gamatatsu too is singing.

Hear his noble song.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Connect with Gamatatsu's heart.

-Whoa.

Check out that cloud.

It looks like a big cream puff.

Yummers.

GAMAKICHI (VOICEOVER): Well, maybe their thoughts

are as one.

-Whoa, hey.

Gamatatsu, did you just feel that?

-What do I look like, an amphibian psychic?

[laughter]

-Hey!

A butterfly!

-Huh?

-1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

1, 2, 3, shoot.

-Who's my main man?

-Gamatatsu!

-That doesn't really show you guys

are in tune with each other.

-Can you hear the froggy song?

Yes, I hear the froggy song.

Ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbity, ribbity,

ribbity!

-I can't move anymore.

Huh?

-Here.

You look like you could use one.

Trust me, kiddo.

Everyone who knows you can see it plain as day.

-Huh?

-Gamatatsu, Gamakichi, Sakura and Tsunade, and myself.

Every single one of us knows how hard

you've been working lately.

And the only mystery is how you keep it up.

-I don't know.

Don't like the idea of giving up, I guess.

And Sasuke.

-Hm?

-I can't help but wonder what he would think.

If he'll ever look at me and acknowledge all that I've done.

-That would be great, wouldn't it, kid?

-Hm?

What?

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): I shouldn't tell him about the Akatsuki.

-Hey, you two.

Up and at 'em.

-Hm?

-I have a few things to take care of, so I'm heading out.

I want both of you guys to go back to the Leaf Village.

Help Naruto with the rest of his training, OK?

-No problem.

We'll take care of it.

-There'll be some snacks in it for us, right?

-Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'll be counting on you.

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

Keep at it.

One day you really will be Hokage.

Hold onto that unyielding gutsiness of yours.

No matter what.

TSUNADE: A new enemy?

PAKKU: That's right.

A formidable one.

I saw a bit of their handiwork.

TSUANDE: Which is why you're giving me this.

There's something inside that crystal, isn't there?

-The enemy's jutsu took out one of Shino's insects.

Kakashi wants it analyzed right away.

TSUANDE (VOICEOVER): It can't be.

Does that mean the rumors are true?

-Shizune.

I want this analyzed.

Get it to the lab.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Say what?

Are you telling me he just took off again?

-Afraid so.

But here, he ask me to pass this along for him.

-Give it.

-Round up all your stuff, kid.

We're going home.

-Hm?

What is it?

-Look at that.

This high up, you can see the whole valley.

We just came from down there.

-Lord Orochimaru will be waiting.

Come along, now.

-Yes.

Of course.

-You smell something, boy?

[whine]

-Kiba, you find anything?

-Nu-uh.

Not even a whiff, Kakashi-sensei.

-My Byakugan's not picking up anything, either.

[screech]

-A bat?

-There are some signs.

-Huh?

Where?

-I'm talking about one of my insects.

Don't get so excited.

-Just your bugs.

Don't do that.

Last count, you had something like 10, 000 of them, OK?

The fact that you found one isn't really that surprising.

-But this one came in contact with the enemy.

And the fact that it survived makes it an asset to us.

-What kind of asset?

-It presumably got hit by the enemy's jutsu.

Yet it's still here.

-What are you saying?

It's developed some sort of immunity?

-Could be.

And my insects have a short life span.

A few hours at most.

It wouldn't take long to breed more of them that are immune.

-Are you kidding me?

That's amazing.

-It's just a possibility.

I don't know if it'll work.

But I should try to find as many survivors as I can.

-Don't worry.

We'll help you look for them.

-Right.

We can handle it.

-That's all right.

-What do you mean?

-I'm the one who should look for them.

You need to stay put.

if you guys start tramping around,

you'll end up stepping on some.

I can't have that.

-If you're going to shoot us down,

you could be a little nicer about it.

-I didn't want to waste time dancing around the issue.

-I think we're all set, then.

Shino will start rounding them up.

The rest of us will get back on the enemy's trail.

-Fine.

Let's go, Akamaru.

[bark]

[laughter]

-Snake eyes again.

Sorry, fellas.

-You wouldn't be cheating, now, would you, bro?

-Course not.

I don't know what to tell you.

Some of us are just born lucky, my friend.

-Sure.

That's why I'm losing.

You'd obviously have no problem with me

inspecting those dice of yours, right?

-She's late.

-Aw, man.

Come on.

One more roll.

Huh?

-You want to try?

It's a good way to kill time.

Ignoring me, huh?

Well, that's fine.

I have to say, though, it's a little surprising.

I can't believe you're still here, waiting on Guren.

I don't know.

You seemed so defiant.

I thought you'd have used this opportunity to escape.

-There's no point in running.

I'm no match for her.

-Well, well.

I wasn't expecting that.

So you're going to fall in line like a good boy, huh?

-What about you lot?

You in or out?

-Us?

-You knew the deal from the beginning.

That we'd eventually have to fight

for our survival in that place.

You formed a group.

Banded together to survive, right?

I can see it.

[laughter]

-Sharp one, aren't you?

We did, indeed.

It's not that surprising, though, is it?

When your back's against the wall,

it's good to have friends, right?

We agreed to take care of each other when push came to shove.

The ones who overestimated themselves and failed

to use their heads-- they're all dead.

The way I look at it, we made it this far using brain power.

Though I suppose if that battle had gone on any longer,

we would have eventually gone and turned on each other.

You, however, didn't need anyone else.

You were strong enough on your own.

When we were fighting individually,

we had to make sure we kept our distance from you.

But there are four of us now.

As long as we all stick together, we can't be beaten.

Now we're all one big family, though, working under Guren.

You can be a team player, can't you, big guy?

Huh?

-Man.

She couldn't find a better hideout than this?

I mean, seriously, what's wrong with Guren, leaving us

in this creaky old dump?

-I'm going out on patrol.

Find anything out there?

-Akamaru?

What is it, boy?

-Deliver this information.

Fast as you can.

-I thought you said you were going out on patrol?

-Just clearing my head first.

I'm heading out now, actually.

-All right, then.

I'll go with you.

-Hm?

You're full of surprises, aren't you?

Does this mean you're following my advice?

-A dog whistle?

-Yeah.

Akamaru said he heard one for sure.

-Does that mean our enemy is working with a dog, too?

-I kind of doubt it.

Trying to cover up human scent is difficult enough.

With a dog, it's near impossible.

And if they had a dog, Akamaru and I

would have smelled him by now.

-So then, why a dog whistle?

-Wish I could tell ya.

-Know where it came from?

-I have no idea.

But they're not that far off.

That much I do know.

-I've finally made it back.

The first order of business is to stop at Ichiraku.

I need to recharge a bit before I train.

KONOHAMARU: Brother Naruto.

-Huh?

-I'll bet you were working on a naughty new jutsu

out at the hot springs, right?

So I might as well show you my latest Sexy Jutsu.

-Ah!

Wait a second, Konohamaru!

[scream]

-You think buying me one bowl of ramen

makes up for the konk you gave me?

-There's a time and place for that kind of jutsu,

and that wasn't it.

Summoning Jutsu!

-Oh, man.

So these two guys are your summons, Naruto?

-Actually, I usually go even bigger.

But these two small fries should do for right now, I think.

-Who are you kiddin', here?

You're our dad's henchman, in case you forgot.

-Come on, just be cool, OK?

I'm trying to impress this kid over here.

Now then, my amphibian friend, let's get to work!

-Hey, brother.

I wonder what today's snack'll be?

I'm on pins and needles.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Aw, man.

I completely forgot about the snacks.

-Uh, I think we'll save the treat for after our training

today.

-What the-- you called us here, and you don't have any food?

I'm so out of here.

Come on, big brother.

-OK, OK, I got it!

Snacks!

Will you go get us some snacks, Konohamaru?

This should cover it.

-Yeah, no problem.

-Sweet!

-Snacktime, snacktime!

-His eating habits are gonna put me right in the poor house.

Huh?

What the-- you finished 'em already?

-Awesome!

This guy's a pro!

-And disgusting.

All right, listen up.

Help me out today, and Pervy Sage'll

give you more snacks than you've ever dreamed of in your life.

Now come on, let's get to work.

-Roger that!

So--

-Well, we were focusing on the timing when we stopped.

Why don't we just pick it up there?

-What were we doing, again?

-You go ahead and spit out some water,

and when the timing is right, I'll layer in my chakra.

You got it?

Now fire off that water pistol of yours,

and I'll try to time out when to come in.

-Water pistol.

I don't get it.

What water pistol?

-You know.

Just use your water style jutsu to shoot out a beam of water.

-So, water style?

-Huh?

-Hey, brother, can you explain to this guy

that I can't do that sort of thing?

-You're a frog!

Water style is your strong suit!

-It's the truth.

He can't do any sort of water style jutsu.

-You've gotta be kidding me!

Then why the hell have I been training with him?

-He can only do what he can do!

Quit yelling!

-Then you swap in, Gamakichi.

What's the big deal?

Are you gonna help me out, or what?

-I-- I can't.

-Yeah?

And why's that?

-Come on.

-What are you muttering about?

Say what?

I can't hear ya.

-It's just I'm--

-Come again?

Speak up, already.

-It's just water style--

-Spit it out, will ya?

-I don't do water style, either!

-What?

[theme music]

KAKASHI: How'd it go?

Any leads?

-I wasn't able to find anything.

-Yeah, same here.

The weather's making it hard to pick up a scent.

KAKASHI: Not surprising in this downpour.

-Hm?

Look.

Even the bats are taking shelter.

Since--

-Kiba, what's wrong?

-So that's it, huh?

I know what the dog whistle was about.

Kakashi-sensei, if I'm right, the enemy

may already know our position.

NARUTO: Next time, A Night Of Rain.
