Original subtitles

-Well.

-Don't worry.

Yukimaru's power should be just fine.

The drug just needs to be modified a bit.

-When will that be completed?

-Oh, not much longer, I imagine.

-Lovely.

Then tell Guren and Yukimaru I want them to go on ahead.

-I know I'm repeating myself, but are you sure about her?

-Hmm.

We've got no choice in the matter.

She's the only one who is capable of achieving

the task at hand.

When Guren and Yukimaru's powers are joined together as one,

the seeds that I have sown will finally bear fruit.

-Hmm.

-How long are you planning to make me wait?

-Hmm.

Not a second longer, actually.

I've come with our Lord's order for you.

-Really?

Is that true?

-(VOICEOVER) So naive.

Yukimaru.

[giggling]

-Are we returning somewhere?

Is it someplace I can return to?

-Who is this little runt?

-You're taking this child with you.

Hate to break it to you.

-What the heck do I look like?

A babysitter?

-Hmm.

Complaining already, huh?

Is your loyalty to Lord Orochimaru so thin?

With that kind of attitude, you'll

be lucky if the child deigns to take you.

[sigh]

-Huh?

Ah!

Ah!

[gasp]

-Do you think it means something that you're Orochimaru's lap

dog?

I can kill you the moment the mood strikes me.

-(VOICEOVER) So she can crystallize anything she wants

to, seemingly unarmed.

But everything around her can be her weapon.

So that's the Crystal Style.

No wonder she caught Lord Orochimaru's eye.

Kill me and it's all over.

Your dreams of reanimation will evaporate.

You wish to become one with our Lord, don't you?

-Hmm.

-Pretty!

-Just what are you playing at, Kabuto?

-Isn't it going to rain anymore?

-Huh.

You're a weird little guy, aren't you?

[laughter] You'll make a good pair, then.

[growl]

-Um-- I'll catch up with you shortly.

You and Yukimaru go on ahead.

[sigh]

-All right.

But I'm telling you, if he gets wise with me, he'll regret it.

-Use caution.

We've detected a few people out on the perimeter.

-Wait a minute.

How would you know something like that?

-I didn't tell you, did I?

On the way to your hideout, I took care of an ANBU Black Ops

member who happened to be poking about in the area.

The Leaf village will be on the move by now.

They'll just complicate things.

I suggest you avoid them.

-I think I'll be the judge of that.

-If you fail in this mission with Yukimaru,

all talk of reanimation will be off the table.

Don't forget that.

[theme music - in japanese]

-(VOICEOVER) The Hidden Leaf, huh?

[gasp] Impossible.

Could they have switched sides?

-Am I finally going home?

I really hope so.

But then, maybe there's no place for me to return to.

-Because wherever someone is still thinking of you,

that place is your home.

-There is a place.

I'm sure of it!

-Look at these.

A dog did this.

-Huh?

-A dog, huh?

(VOICEOVER) This is bad.

-They've grown so weak.

I can't feel any response.

Found one.

[scratching noise]

Good.

She has eggs.

If I can get them to hatch--

-Where's the sense in that?

You're telling me the sons of the Chief Toad

can't use Water Style?

How does that work?

-Liquid Bullets!

-His use of the Water Style is out of this world!

-Oh, give it a rest, will you?

If we can't do it, we can't do it.

You whine a lot, don't you?

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

All right.

Simmer down.

You're just going to have to try Gamatatsu's way of training,

Naruto.

-That's the ticket, kiddo.

You really get what I'm saying here.

-Ha.

I don't have time to horse around.

-Well, if you don't want nothing to do with me,

I don't want nothing to do with you.

-Huh?

-Gamariki can take over, because I quit.

-Hmm?

Hmm?

-Ahh.

Mmm.

Mmmmm.

-All right.

I'll train with Gamatatsu.

Whatever.

Are you happy?

-Done and done.

Long as everybody's on the same page, right?

-So, how do Water-Style jutsu work, then?

-Uh, um--

-Ah, jeez.

Well, I wasn't really expecting the third degree here, uh-

-Hmm--

-Hmm.

I got it!

If it's Water Style, we should start

by drinking a bunch of it!

-That sounds good!

-Oh, yeah.

That's got to be it, huh?

-What?

[sigh]

-You really think there are enemies out there?

-I'm sure of it.

They're up in the mountains somewhere.

-So, who are they?

-I don't know.

But if they're out here searching

for Orochimaru's hideout, they're Leaf ninja or Akatsuki.

-What should we do?

Go on the attack?

-I don't think so, Nurari.

Without Guren, there's no guarantee

that we can pull it off.

-Guess I was wrong.

- Hmm?

About what?

-I figured you'd make a go of it.

Use the confusion to cut and run.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-This is your shot at fleeing to the Leaf village,

offering up Orochimaru.

-Ha.

Now I follow you.

It never even occurred to me, though.

I'm in this for the long haul.

Hmm.

You thinking of heading over there?

Turning yourself in?

-I'm here to stay, same as you.

-Why are you sticking around with Guren, anyway?

It doesn't add up.

-My reasons are personal.

-Well.

-Man.

If I were traveling on my own, I'd already be there by now.

-I don't want to go anymore.

My head is starting to ache.

I-- I don't think-- I should go back.

But I've nowhere to return home to.

That person told me as long as you have someone thinking

about you, you'll always have a home to go back to.

Wherever that person is, is where you belong.

Although I'm not really sure how I would do that,

you know, get someone to think about me.

-Ugh.

Quit babbling, will you, and pick up the pace.

(VOICEOVER) What is with this kid?

[quiet gasping]

-So, do you prefer the white camellias over the red?

-Camellias!

-Camellias?

Like that one.

-Oh.

Yeah.

Right.

I forgot.

-Do you like camellias?

-Do I like them?

I don't care one way or the other.

It's just a flower.

[quiet gasp]

[gasp]

-Hey.

What's the matter?

[gasping]

[thunder]

-Oh, great.

(VOICEOVER) Ugh.

Can't bring him back to Orochimaru's in this rain.

[whimpering]

-I'm freezing.

-Wha-- what's wrong?

Are you feeling cold?

Oh.

You're burning up.

-You wanted to see me?

-Yes, that's right.

I'd like you to head out and aid Team Kakashi.

-Kakashi?

I heard it was nothing more than a search mission.

Did something happen out there, my lady?

-They had a bit of a run-in, which

is where things get prickly.

Their foe used a jutsu we've never seen.

-One we've never seen?

-The details are still sketchy right now.

Kakashi managed to get a sample back,

and I'm having it analyzed as we speak.

-So who shall I take with me?

-Well, Sai can get a bird's-eye view.

And you should take Sakura in case anyone was injured.

Although Sakura is running an errand for me at the moment.

I'm expecting her back by dawn.

As soon as she returns, you're to head out.

-Understood.

My lady, what about Naruto?

If Orochimaru's involved here, then--

-Now, listen.

Naruto is not to find out about any of this.

-How'd it go?

Any leads?

-I wasn't able to find anything.

-Same here, unfortunately.

There's not much we can really do in weather like this.

Makes it almost impossible to pick up a scent.

[sigh]

-Not what I was hoping for.

-Oh!

Grr.

Even the bats are taking shelter.

[gasp]

-The bats!

-I'll go out and take one more look around.

-Wait a minute!

Don't go.

-Why?

What is it, Kiba?

-Well, I haven't been able to stop thinking about that dog

whistle for some time now.

-The dog whistle that you heard?

-Yeah.

And it hit me.

There's another animal that uses ultrasonic frequency.

Right there.

-Hmm.

Gotcha.

So the enemy is manipulating a bat.

-But how do we know which one?

-I don't know.

It's kind of hard to say right now,

but we better proceed with caution,

or we'll be opening ourselves up to the enemy's detection.

In fact, they may have spotted us already.

-Once that crystal sample is analyzed back at the village,

we'll have some idea of what to do next.

Right now, our hope lies in Shino's insects.

-(VOICEOVER) I need to deliver good news to Lord Orochimaru.

I can't have you dying, you hear me, kid?

Just hang in there.

-She's late.

What's keeping her?

-Yeah.

She ought to be back by now.

-(VOICEOVER) I should've brought Rinji and Gozu with me.

-Use caution.

We've detected a few people out on the perimeter.

-(VOICEOVER) What am I doing here?

I can't be wasting time like this!

[gulp]

-Hey, are you all right?

-It's so warm in here.

-Hmm.

-Um.

[whimpering]

[birds calling]

[gasp]

-Huh?

Mmm.

Oh.

Damn it.

[flute playing]

-What are you doing?

-Oh, Guren!

-So.

Are you feeling any better today?

-Mm-hmm.

-Look, I can't have you disappearing on me like that

again.

You were entrusted to me by Lord Orochimaru.

-Mmm.

-Ugh.

What's that?

-It was Mom's.

-Where is your family?

Are they--

-My mother never came back.

And now I don't have anywhere to go.

[gasp]

-Camellias.

You like them, right?

Well, this one will never wither,

as long as I'm alive in this world.

[giggle]

-Let's go.

[theme music - in japanese]

-Are these the hatchlings you were talking about?

-Great.

So now we can take on that crystal jutsu, right?

-There's a good probability they'll be resistant.

However--

-You don't have enough for combat.

-Damn it.

I thought we'd finally come up with a way to counter them.

-No.

It's too early to give up just yet.

-Huh?

-You have a plan?

-Yes.

I just need a little time.

-Next time.

The Two Charms.
