Original subtitles

Don't worry, Sakura. Lady Tsunade will recover, I'm sure of it.

Yeah...

Hi, guys!

We brought you lunch.

Here!

Ooiiinnnk. Oiiink. Ooooinnnk.

We got all the rice balls we could. I hope it's enough.

Thanks, but... There are only two of us. We'll never eat all of these!

Well, then, I could always eat some...

That was your whole plan all along, wasn't it?!

Ah! Yeah, okay, you caught me.

But you really should eat, Sakura. They go best with a little salt.

All right...

Guess I'll go help rebuild Ichiraku; maybe if I do I'll get a free bowl of ramen!

Boy, you really do love ramen, don't you?

Yeah! I need it to keep up my strength!

Naruto always has so much energy!

I know! But you know what they say, "Fools never catch a cold..."

"Fools never catch a cold," huh...?

[sneezing]

[sniffling]

What do you think you're doing, you idiot?!

[screaming]

That's the thanks I get for coming all this way to pick you up?!

It'll be fine if you just let it dry.

No, it's not fine, it's gross! And I'm just about to leave on a mission!

Oh, I hate you, Naruto!

But- Sakura!

[sighing]

Guess I'll just have to drown my sorrows with food...

Well, that's fine, but, you're overdoing it.

I feel sick...

Are you all right?

Call a doctor. They'll give you an injection for overeating.

Mmmm.

An injection?!

No, no, no, no!

Oh, boy... My belly's so big... I can't even reach down to take off my shoes.

[groaning]

Oh, my tummy...!

Oh, Sakura.

Huh?!

What?! What's going on, what is this all about?!

Huh?!

[gasping]

Huh?!

[screaming]

Target confirmed.

What is this, who are you?!

Acquire the target.

An injection?!

Oh, man!

Who sent you? Out with it!

More injections?!

Stop him!

Uh!

[screaming]

[panting]

Target located!

I don't care how. Just stop him!

What the heck is going on here?!

[screaming]

He got away.

We have to capture Naruto quickly!

It's Sakura. May I come in?

As you're aware, the village is very short-handed right now.

And because of that, for simple missions, ninja must go solo.

Right.

Sakura... Is there something wrong?

No, ma'am. Nothing.

[gasping]

No, stay back!

[whining]

Sakura, tell me, did someone sneeze on you recently?

Sneezed? Well, Naruto did...

This is bad...

"Naruto: Outbreak"

We gave Sakura a sedative to help her sleep.

And? How's she doing?

Well, I won't get the results of the blood tests until tomorrow...

But her symptoms are stomach pain, fever, and a rash on her face.

Just as I expected. They're all signs of the chakra virus.

The chakra virus?

It's an extremely contagious virus of mysterious origin; a

nasty bug that turns chakra into a fever.

That's horrible!

Yes. Once infected, you can't infuse chakra for several months after

recovery, if you recover at all.

For a ninja, it's a grave disease.

But how did Naruto get infected with this chakra virus?

There was an outbreak recently in a village not too far from here.

The infected were quarantined quickly, and the virus was thought to be contained.

Are you telling me that's where Naruto was sent on his mission...?!

Yes, the very same. I think we can conclude that Naruto is the source of this outbreak.

The way things stand now, if the virus spreads, it's inevitable that the

Leaf Village will become even more vulnerable.

If we come under attack, we'll be destroyed...

[gasping]

We must handle this situation with the utmost secrecy.

No one... no other nations or even our own people can know about it.

Waste no time! Find Naruto and isolate him!

He couldn't have gotten far.

This is seriously weird. Who are those guys?!

Why do they have syringe weapons?

Wait... could it be--?

Call a doctor. They'll give you an injection for overeating.

Did Old Man Teuchi do this?!

Old man! Wake up!

Naruto?! And at this hour?!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Don't tell me you didn't get enough ramen!

Or did you actually come back here to pay your tab?

It was you, wasn't it?

You told them to give me an injection!

I what? What are you saying?

You called the doctor and told him to give me a shot, didn't you?!

But why would I do something like that? Is that what has you so upset?!

Target located!

[gasping]

Hey, who are these guys?!

That's exactly what I'd like to find out!

Capture the target.

Whoa, watch it!

Ahhh! Look what you've done!

[gasping]

[snoring]

Ah!

[snoring]

Old man?!

Never mind! Get the targ-

What's wrong with you?! Don't just stand there; after him!

We have to find him, no matter what!

[panting]

This is crazy. They're making all this fuss because I ate too much ramen?!

Did you find him?

No, sir! He's gone.

What's going on anyway? Is this some kind of enemy attack?!

Well, if it is, then there's no way that I'm going to let them get me!

Your people still haven't captured Naruto?!

I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade. It's just that Naruto is more than the medical teams alone can handle.

I suppose that we don't have time to be choosy about how we catch him...

[groaning]

It's morning?! Man, I guess I must have dozed off.

[gasping]

Where is everybody?!

Sakura...

Sakura, let me in!

[exhaling] Even Sakura's gone.

Hm?

What is that?

Oh, boy!

[screaming]

Wh- Wh- What is going on?!

Damn. Lost the target...

[panting]

Ah! All right, where are those guys shooting from now?!

Target acquired.

Firing.

A Shadow Clone?!

Huh?

Ah!

[grunting]

Now you're going to tell me everything you know.

[whimpering]

Let's find out what village you're from...

Stop!

[gasping]

That's the Hidden Leaf's crest!

Why are people from my own village after me?

Because The Fifth Hokage ordered your capture.

Granny Tsunade did?! Why would she do that?!

I don't know any of the details.

Our orders were just to capture Naruto Uzumaki.

[grunting]

But what about the rest of the villagers, then?

They've been evacuated to a safe location.

Evacuated?!

There's no need to worry. This is only an emergency drill.

It will be over by sundown, so please... just be patient.

Well, whatever's going on, you're going to spill every last detail you know, you got it?

Okay, okay! Whatever you want!

[groaning]

Huh?!

Huh?

Shizune!

Give up and come along quietly, you're surrounded.

Huh?

Ah!

I won't let you get away.

I guess I'm just going to have to go and confront Granny Tsunade directly.

Naruto!

Huh?

Enough running; you have to turn yourself in!

This time you won't get away, Naruto!

What?! What's that?!

I'm not going to run or hide.

[yelling]

Multi Shadow Clones, huh?

Not bad. At least you're using your head.

But...

I already anticipated you'd try that!

Huh?

A wall won't stop me!

Ahhh!

They set up a trap at the top of the wall.

Whoa! That way! No, this way, come on!

No way!

What?!

What is going on here?!

Just a little something we call the Hidden Leaf's Eight Trigram Trap Formation.

No matter how massive a force we're facing, with this formation, they're completely at our mercy.

Damn it, come on!

This way is a dead-end as well!

Huh!?

Choji!

I'm in real trouble! Can you help me out?

Naruto... I don't know what you got yourself into this time...

But orders are orders.

Huh?

Expansion Jutsu!

All right! Let's do this!

Human Boulder!

No! Wait, Choji, hold on! Just listen to me for a second, okay?!

Roll out!

Stop! [screaming]

[yelling]

Well, well... It looks like the real Naruto wasn't among them.

Huh?

Tenten's behind this one?!

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to shut you down.

Will you please listen to my side of the story for a second?

Sweet dreams!

Oh, boy... Not good...

[screaming]

Only Shadow Clones over here, too.

Now it's Kiba?!

Akamaru, we'll put an end to all this!

[barking]

Beast Mimicry Ninja Art!

[barking]

Why is everybody out to get me today?!

Fang Over Fang!

Stop!

There were only Shadow Clones here, too...

Then the only side left is North.

Huh? What? No!

[screaming]

That sure was one close call.

You should know that it's entirely too soon to let your guard down.

Ugh.

Because one never knows where a foe may be lurking.

I know that creepy way of talking.

Shino!

I Got ya! Ha!

Insect Clone?!

As I said...

[gasping]

One never knows where a foe may be lurking.

Ah!

Do not struggle. It will be much less painful that way.

He still had Shadow Clones left?

He's laying low somewhere. Find him.

Whew. That was a close one.

What're you doing in here?

Sasuke?! Is that you?

Naruto?

Oh, thank goodness! I didn't do anything, but they're all after me!

[sighing]

I was wondering why it was so noisy around here this morning.

I've been through hell today, let me tell you.

Huh?

Huh?

Sasuke...?

Ah!

It's nothing personal.

Why is everyone so mean today?!

Uh... Granny Tsunade?!

Leave it to you to give us such a hard time,... Naruto!

Uh?!

Seize him!

Target captured!

[screaming]

What?! He's not infected with the virus?!

I know... neither Naruto nor Sakura had evidence of the virus in their bloodstreams.

What about Naruto's sneezing?

Oh, that. Believe it or not, we found a vial of pepper in his pocket.

We think it was the cause.

Then what about Sakura collapsing?

Just run-of-the-mill fatigue, we think.

Okay, then how do you explain the redness on her face?

Apparently an allergic reaction to Naruto sneezing on her.

You're telling me it was never the chakra virus at all?!

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Well, I won't be satisfied until I get a sincere personal apology from you, Granny Tsunade.

Naruto.

Yeah, sure, you may be Hokage, but you should still own up to your mistakes!

Hmph!

But it wasn't a mistake. This was just an emergency drill.

And thanks for your cooperation.

What?! Are you kidding me?!

All's well that ends well, kid.

Nothing about this went well at all!

Cho, Cho, Cho, Choji, I'm passing through and bringing a piece of wood to you!

Honestly...

They're right that "Fools never catch a cold..."

Oww!

Oh, sorry.

Watch where you're walking, would you?

Sure thing!

Ow!

[giggling]

He sure knows how to stir up trouble!

I'm the team captain for this mission!

I don't know,... maybe Neji should lead us.

You just pipe down! I'm the captain, and that's that!

Calm down, Tenten. It's just a D-rank mission.

I can handle this! I'll make sure this mission succeeds!

All right, you guys; let's do this!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Deploy! Team Tenten!

You've got this all wrong, guys...
