Original subtitles

‐Oh.

‐Man, I felt so useless.

All I really did out there was get in the way.

I wish I could deal with failure the way you do, Lee.

You just work up a sweat and forget all about it, don't you?

‐I wish I could do that.

‐Sweat?

This is not sweat.

These are tears of frustration!

‐Eh, huh!

‐I was no help at all.

And after you worked and trained so hard, so hard. [sobs]

‐Yeah, I hear you.

I know exactly how you feel.

HINATA: Kakashi Sensei!

Are you‐‐

‐Whoa!

‐Uh.

‐Who's that?

‐I'm pretty sure this is the boy we've heard about,

the one who possesses special powers over the Three‐Tails.

The Three‐Tails has disappeared back into the lake.

But this is far from over.

Once the Sealing Team's had the chance to recuperate,

we'll attempt the Four‐Corner Sealing Barrier again.

We can't risk moving the boy right now.

Once he regains consciousness, we'll take him to a safe spot

and begin our preparations.

Meanwhile, we need to find Naruto.

‐Naruto.

‐Oh, don't worry.

He's probably in the lake, working on his back stroke,

if I know him. [giggles]

KAKASHI: Yamato, Sai, Kiba, Hinata.

The four of you and I will search for Naruto.

And Shizune, you'd better come along with us, too, just

in case he's injured.

‐Hm.

KAKASHI: Sakura and Ino will stay here and heal the boy.

The rest of you will stand guard over them.

The enemy is bound to try and get the boy back.

‐Never fear, Sensei.

We will protect him with our very lives.

‐OK.

You all know what to do.

Keep on your toes.

‐Byakugan!

Where could he be?

‐Even with Hinata and Kiba on his trail,

there's still no sign of him?

‐Ino, I know we're both exhausted

after all we've been through, but we've

got to watch our chakra control.

‐Don't worry, I won't blow it again.

We're not going to lose this boy, not while I'm around.

‐Well, the least I can do is lend moral support

by executing some mode of power squats.

‐Do you mind?

TENTEN: Lee, we're supposed to be guarding them, right?

‐Oh, yes, I forgot.

‐It doesn't make sense to all be in the same place.

Shino is already standing watching here.

Why don't you and I go take a look around outside?

‐But I‐‐ but I‐‐

TENTEN: You can take the rooftop.

‐Oh, good idea!

SHINO (VOICEOVER): My insects had been drastically weakened.

Could this be another effect of the Three‐Tails Chakra?

‐Ugh.

Where am I?

Oh, yeah, the last thing I remember,

I was being swallowed, which means

I'm in the Three‐Tailed Beast's belly.

Hard as a rock.

Talk about a cast iron stomach.

What does this thing eat?

Oh, yeah, that'd be me.

‐Uh, huh?

‐You!

Oh, so you want to‐‐ huh?

‐I'm never going to let you have Yukimaru!

‐Yukimaru!

‐Never!

Agh, ugh!

‐Uh!

[theme music]

[groans]

‐Uh, Rinji!

‐Damn you!

What happened?

Where the hell were you?

‐Running out like a coward and leaving us to fight!

‐OK, calm down.

I had no choice.

I got an urgent summons from Guren.

Nothing I could do about it.

‐[grunts]

Uh!

What?

What's wrong?

‐Hm.

‐What the heck was that?

‐Huh?

What are you looking at?

‐What's with you?

It's bad manners to stare.

‐Humph.

Funny how quickly things can change on the battlefield.

‐Uh, meaning what?

‐Quit your complaining.

‐Where are you going now?

Rinji!

[grunts]

‐That was kind of strange, don't you think?

‐Rinji's lost it.

To run away like that in the face of the enemy.

MAN: Who?

‐Huh?

‐Who ran away?

‐Um, oh, no one.

Oh, no, please stop staring.

‐First, Rinji.

Now, you.

What's with you guys?

‐Listen, try looking at yourself in the mirror some time.

You won't see anything human looking back at you.

‐[snickers]

It appears you haven't very long to live.

[gasps]

‐We haven't gotten long to live.

What do you mean?

‐It‐‐ it's a lie.

‐You were joking, right?

KABUTO: It's no joke.

‐It's not?

‐Your chakra is fading fast.

I'm sorry to say it looks quite hopeless for all of you.

‐[gulps]

Hopeless?

KABUTO: You fought a deadly foe, and now, you're

paying the price.

In your case, Kiho, let's see.

I'd say you have two hours, give or take, and then, boo!

‐He‐eh, ha‐ah!

‐How‐‐ how about me?

How much time do I have?

‐No, don't.

Don't say it.

I don't want to know how much time I have.

Please save me!

Save me, Kabuto!

I don't want to die!

‐Me, too!

Save me, too.

Please, Kabuto!

‐I'll do anything.

I don't want to go! [wails]

‐No matter how much I'd like to, there are some things even

my medical ninjutsu can't fix, unless‐‐

ALL: Huh?

‐No, what am I thinking?

I could never do such a thing to my comrades.

‐Yes, you could.

You could do such a thing.

Sure you could!

‐Whatever it is, just do it, please!

‐Don't let it go boo!

‐Humph.

Well, if you insist.

‐Aah!

Wooh!

‐Ugh!

He's being used, and you know it!

He believes there's someone out there

he can go back to‐‐ someone he could trust.

But he's going to betrayed.

And when that moment comes, he won't have anywhere

left to turn.

If wherever someone thinks of you as a place

you can call home, well, then I am not

going to stop thinking about him.

SAKURA: So this is who Naruto was thinking about.

‐What?

‐Huh?

Oh, nothing.

I was just thinking that Naruto was

going to be worried about this kid.

YUKIMARU: Hmm.

‐Uh!

‐Where am I?

‐You're with friends.

We're going to protect you from now on.

‐Protect?

What do you mean?

[gasps]

Where is it?

It's gone!

‐What is it?

What's wrong?

Did you lose something?

‐Where is it?

It's gone.

It's gone.

It's gone!

‐This must be‐‐ uh.

That's Yukimaru.

Then that means she‐‐

she must be, uh‐‐ [sobs]

‐‐that I'm, uh, I'm forgiven?

You've forgiven me.

‐You have taken life.

You have the audacity to ask such a thing.

‐Huh?

‐You expect forgiveness.

‐No!

‐You can never be forgiven!

‐[gasps]

[screams]

‐[wailing]

GUREN: Stop it!

Stop it!

No, I‐‐ uh.

[grunts]

Ugh.

[gasps]

My wound.

You put this bandage on me?

Why?

What are you up to?

‐Uh, nothing.

‐You're a liar!

Your opponent lies helpless.

And I'm supposed to believe that you've

passed up the chance to‐‐

‐Believe it or not, that's not the way I do things.

I don't hit people who can't hit back!

‐[groans]

Where is Yukimaru?

‐He isn't here.

We were the only ones who were swallowed.

It's just you and me.

[growling]

‐Then he must still be by the lake.

NARUTO: Maybe.

Unless your friends got to him.

Or mine.

They would have taken him back to the village by now.

GUREN: If that's the case, as soon as I thrash you and get

out of here, I'll take him back.

No matter how you slice it, we're

going to have a fight because that's

the only way this can be settled.

Either I beat you or you beat me.

But only one of us walks out of here.

‐Guess so.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): But still‐‐

‐Hm?

‐Huh?

What on earth?

‐Agh!

What are these things?

They're like the Three‐Tailed Beast, only smaller.

Ayah!

Ah!

Oh, man!

‐What are you doing?

NARUTO: Uh‐oh!

Nyeeh, nyah!

‐I'll use my Crystal Style.

‐Forget it!

In your condition?

You want to kill yourself?

‐[grunts] Let go!

I don't need your help.

YUKIMARU: It's‐‐ it's gone.

‐What's gone?

What is it you're looking for?

‐Uh.

Aah.

Found it.

I found it!

See?

‐That's a lovely crystal.

‐Not a scratch on it.

That means Guren must be OK.

‐Guren, who's that?

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Is that the person Naruto mentioned?

The one this boy trusts?

‐[chuckles]

Ugh!

‐Are you all right?

‐Yeah.

And Guren's all right, too. [chuckles]

Ugh!

‐Man, this kid is‐‐

‐That kid's being used, and you know it!

He truly believes that there's someone out

there he can go back to.

But he's going to be betrayed.

‐[chuckles]

‐Ngeeh.

‐[gasping]

‐You all right?

‐Why?

I don't get why you're trying to help me.

‐There's no way I'm going to fight someone‐‐

‐You wouldn't have to.

You could have left me to those creatures.

‐And I'd have to watch.

No, thank you.

‐Huh, you're a fool.

‐Humph.

‐If I'd have been in your place, you'd be dead by now.

And I'd be out of here and looking for Yukimaru.

‐I guess you must want him real bad, huh?

Or Orochimaru does.

‐You're one to talk.

Now, that you've seen his powers,

you want him just as badly!

No wonder, having the Three‐Tails

would give the Leaf Village unrivaled military power!

‐That's not something we have a need for.

‐You lie!

Everyone knows your village already

has the Nine‐Tails and its jinchuriki host.

The Leaf has no right to criticize Orochimaru‐‐

I mean, us, for wanting what you already have.

‐As for the jinchuriki, you're looking at him!

‐What?

‐I have power.

But I'm not going to use it.

Power that you wouldn't believe.

So much power that I'm not able to control it.

I nearly killed my friends before I even

knew what I was doing.

And that's why I don't dare use it ever again.

I wish I had never said that to him.

‐Uh?

‐Because wherever someone is still thinking of you,

that place is your home.

‐So if somebody somewhere is thinking about me, wherever

that person is is where I belong.

‐It was you?

You told him?

‐Yeah, but if you've been thinking about him only

because you want to use him as a pawn for Orochimaru

because he could control the Three‐Tails, that's wrong!

I don't want Yukimaru anywhere near a Tailed Beast.

I don't want him becoming like me.

‐I swear I would never let that happen to Yukimaru.

Never!

‐I don't believe you.

‐Giving him a place to return to, that's all I'm doing.

When Yukimaru lost his mother, he lost the one place

in the world where he belonged.

I'm trying to give that back to him.

‐Yeah, right‐‐ when you're working Orochimaru!

Lady, whatever else you are, you are definitely

not where he belongs!

And I'm going to make him see that once and for all!

‐Go ahead!

Do what you want!

Go on!

Maybe you're right.

But that boy‐‐

all I know is Yukimaru is where I belong!

‐You?

Anyway, we can argue about that another time.

While you were out of it, I took a look around this place.

And I've got tell you, I couldn't

make heads or tails of it.

And I couldn't find a way out anywhere.

We'll split up to cover more ground.

‐What?

How much can we cover, just two of us?

‐Who said two?

I'm thinking more like 1,000.

‐Huh?

‐Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

[men screaming]

‐All right, you three, your orders

are take Yukimaru away from the Leaf ninja.

Use whatever means necessary.

Only get him back!

[men groaning]

[grunting]

‐Go and enjoy the power I've given you.

Have fun with it.

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): Where are you, Naruto?

‐Welcome to the Naruto Cup Challenge!

"The first who can be the one to find a way out

of this crazy place" Annual Invitational Foot Race!

Are the runners ready?

CLONES: Yeah!

‐Everybody on your marks!

Get set, go!

With these many guys searching, we'll

find a way out in no time.

‐You mean, I'll find it!

‐No, I will.

GUREN (VOICEOVER): Got to get out and find Yukimaru.

I don't care how.

‐Gangway!

‐I've got it!

I've got it.

I know where Guren must be.

‐Huh?

‐And I bet Naruto's there with her.

They're stuck in the Three‐Tails' tummy.

‐Huh?

‐[chuckles]

CLONES: Haah!

Aah!

Aah!

Ha‐ah!

[music playing]

SAKURA: Yukimaru thinks that Guren, the woman who

uses the Crystal Style, is still alive.

KAKASHI: And that she and Naruto were actually

swallowed by the Three‐Tails?

Stranger things have happened.

But if so, what makes you so sure Guren is alive?

YUKIMARU: The crystal.

If anything had happened to Guren, it would have shattered.

YAMATO: That doesn't mean Naruto's all right.

KAKASHI: We just have to trust that he is

and that we find the Three‐Tails first.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Next time, "Guidepost of the Camellia."
