1
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,960
Sakura… I leave Naruto in your hands!
2
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,540
He was always a symbol of hope for our village.
3
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:44,150
Since then, everyone has always
4
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:52,750
What did Lord Jiraiya say?
5
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:56,080
Training seems to be going well.
6
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,330
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
7
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,790
Giant Rasengan!
8
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,870
The ball of your Rasengan
9
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:26,580
Grown in just two years of training.
10
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,620
Perhaps it's about time we move to the next level.
11
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:34,960
The next level?
12
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,000
yes…
13
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,260
what will you do
14
00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:43,100
Maybe it's time to tap into your inner strength.
15
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,600
So or...?
16
00:01:45,140 --> 00:01:48,680
Yes... you may have to put your life on the line for this training.
17
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:51,350
Okay, I'm ready for it!
18
00:01:59,810 --> 00:02:02,060
It's been two years already
19
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:08,010
The day the brat returns may soon be upon us.
20
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:10,690
LEAF HOSPITAL
21
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,000
Naruto is a mysterious being
22
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:25,620
He had been away from the village for two whole years and still…
23
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,290
Inuzuka style! Man Beast Transformation Combo!
24
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:44,830
Two-headed wolf!
25
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:48,960
Wolf Fang over Fang!
26
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:56,410
…His presence continued to grow.
27
00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:04,790
are you ok
28
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,830
I'm at my limit!
29
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:10,370
And only ten laps!
30
00:03:10,830 --> 00:03:13,870
If you stop now, Naruto will laugh at you!
31
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:20,000
Everyone seems to keep Naruto in their thoughts during training!
32
00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:37,960
A messenger hawk!
33
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Where?!
34
00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:46,450
Lord Kazekage!
35
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:49,660
A Shinobi Hawk brought a message
36
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:51,750
From the Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf.
37
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,180
New Chunin Exams
38
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,760
I was tired of waiting.
39
00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:41,430
Are you at our welcome party?
40
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Thank you for coming to visit us.
41
00:05:43,970 --> 00:05:47,470
Well, it's a drag, but being seen as Lord Kazekage…
42
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,180
Welcome.
43
00:05:58,550 --> 00:06:01,260
Here is the Chunin Exam data from two years ago.
44
00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:07,760
A total of 153 entrants.
45
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:10,100
Information about the entrant's village,
46
00:06:10,180 --> 00:06:12,720
Three rounds of examination, and merit statistics
47
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Compiled for easy reading.
48
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,050
But you will know more about the reason behind it
49
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:20,220
Final round hurdles and its timeline.
50
00:06:22,010 --> 00:06:25,010
Due to the postponement of the final chunin exams,
51
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:29,350
The Hidden Leaf wants to sponsor a combined chunin exam.
52
00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:31,970
Thanks to the hidden pages contribution section,
53
00:06:32,050 --> 00:06:33,930
The situation in our village has stabilized
54
00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:34,970
In the last two years...
55
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:36,510
in particular,
56
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,490
Our training course has been very successful
57
00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:41,300
And we made more genes
58
00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:42,890
Those who are eligible to take the Chunin Exams.
59
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,390
So you don't mind us sponsoring an event?
60
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,260
Before that Lady Hokage... What is your true purpose?
61
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:54,600
"True purpose?"
62
00:06:56,890 --> 00:07:00,100
I mean the timing of this thing. Why the chunin exam now?
63
00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:02,100
Because if there is a shortage of workers
64
00:07:02,470 --> 00:07:04,890
You could have done it sooner.
65
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,100
All right.
66
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:09,550
I'll be honest.
67
00:07:12,510 --> 00:07:14,760
The first reason is to measure its response
68
00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:17,510
Every village in the five great nations.
69
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:21,010
Everyone, who is on the surface, wants to live in peace.
70
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:25,100
Their reaction to the Combined Chunin Exams
71
00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:27,260
will reveal their true feelings.
72
00:07:27,970 --> 00:07:31,180
The second reason is to investigate Akatsuki's movements.
73
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:35,470
It is said that they search for tailed beasts from every village,
74
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:38,470
But they have been eerily quiet in the last two years.
75
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,350
You want to use the chunin exam to unlock the village
76
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:46,510
To create opportunities to tempt the Akatsuki?
77
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:50,510
yes The Akatsuki probably grew impatient
78
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,970
And ready to make a move.
79
00:08:00,260 --> 00:08:01,890
This is a risky one
80
00:08:01,970 --> 00:08:02,970
Wait.
81
00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:08,470
This chunin exam…
82
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:10,970
Hidden Bali wants to host it,
83
00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:13,140
Along with my introduction as the Kazekage.
84
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,010
don't do that
85
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:22,550
The hidden page must sponsor these chunin exams.
86
00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:25,640
This is so that we can finish what we started earlier.
87
00:08:25,930 --> 00:08:28,100
Yes absolutely.
88
00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:32,430
Lord Kazekage cannot make all these decisions by himself.
89
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:34,760
He must consult the village elders.
90
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,720
yes We need time to communicate with them.
91
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:42,800
Let's get back to it at the next meeting.
92
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,140
fine
93
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,100
We will settle it during the next meeting.
94
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:01,350
It's becoming a drag.
95
00:09:01,930 --> 00:09:06,010
yes I didn't expect Gaara to make such a declaration.
96
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,930
Did he really not tell you anything?
97
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,600
That came out of nowhere.
98
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:14,970
Well, he probably has his own ideas.
99
00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:25,100
I leave it to you.
100
00:09:26,010 --> 00:09:29,600
If the Hokage is right and the Akatsuki make their move,
101
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,720
You're going to be their target, aren't you?
102
00:09:32,390 --> 00:09:34,050
If the enemy wants Tailed Beasts,
103
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,390
They will come for me sooner or later.
104
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,890
Then I'll just be the bait and take them down.
105
00:09:40,140 --> 00:09:41,050
what are you saying?!
106
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,220
The village welcomes you as their new Kazekage
107
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,390
But things are still unstable!
108
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:49,510
I am aware of it.
109
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,100
I know some are not happy that I'm a Kazekage…
110
00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:59,930
And would welcome the opportunity to kill me.
111
00:10:00,010 --> 00:10:02,510
So why should you consider hosting an event in our village?!
112
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,850
That's exactly why I want it
113
00:10:03,930 --> 00:10:06,350
Chunin Exams at the Hidden Sand Village.
114
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:08,970
You can't be serious!
115
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:12,180
It's not the Akatsuki you want to tempt…
116
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,470
But the rebels in the village?
117
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:18,220
It's just too dangerous.
118
00:10:33,140 --> 00:10:35,470
Regarding the Combined Chunin Exams under discussion...
119
00:10:35,850 --> 00:10:37,010
This is Lord Kazekage's wish
120
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,140
To host the event at Hidden Sand Village.
121
00:10:40,930 --> 00:10:45,260
He wants to introduce himself to other nations.
122
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:47,010
Is it wise?
123
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,100
Although things have been quiet for a while now,
124
00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:51,850
It doesn't change that Gaara is
125
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:54,010
"A military weapon to fear."
126
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,350
As long as Gara remains,
127
00:10:56,430 --> 00:10:59,640
This village can never truly be at peace.
128
00:11:02,970 --> 00:11:05,970
For the second round of testing, Lord wants to do Gaara
129
00:11:06,050 --> 00:11:10,140
Suggest Daemon Desert as a suitable arena.
130
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:15,140
And we, Hidden Bali, will do our best to support him!
131
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:25,890
Yura is upon us.
132
00:11:26,050 --> 00:11:29,760
No…everyone is uncomfortable with cars.
133
00:11:30,850 --> 00:11:33,720
But this is not enough to plan a coup.
134
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,510
Well, well...my elders
135
00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:39,300
Everywhere to find you.
136
00:11:40,220 --> 00:11:41,350
what do you want
137
00:11:41,850 --> 00:11:45,300
We said we were in favor of Lord Gaara's plan.
138
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,100
Nothing, I just forgot to tell you
139
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:53,680
Lord Gaara plans to personally oversee the test site.
140
00:11:55,140 --> 00:11:57,100
We have to be very careful about our preparation.
141
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:00,930
After all, the second round is a test of survival
142
00:12:01,010 --> 00:12:02,680
And there are always casualties.
143
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:07,260
Who will say why nothing will happen
144
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:10,760
The Supervisor himself, Lord Gaara…
145
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:14,600
Excuse me…
146
00:12:19,010 --> 00:12:22,100
So this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the Kazekage
147
00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:24,300
And it looks completely accidental
148
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:27,300
But he is a jinchuriki.
149
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,720
There is a way.
150
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:31,970
The first jinchuriki, Bunpuku,
151
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:35,010
Shukaku was able to temporarily seal the teapot.
152
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:36,100
We can use it
153
00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:41,550
What is your decision, Lady Tsunade?
154
00:12:45,510 --> 00:12:49,680
Two years ago, Jiraiya had the intel that said Akatsuki would
155
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Target Naruto in three or four years.
156
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:56,050
And two years have passed…
157
00:12:56,140 --> 00:13:00,050
I'm sure they're itching to move.
158
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:02,720
Bait you because you are not going to use Naruto?
159
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,800
no…
160
00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:06,260
As the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village,
161
00:13:06,350 --> 00:13:07,760
I can't do that.
162
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:12,800
Don't tell me...Lord Kazekage will assume that role?
163
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:17,180
As fate would have it, he was the one who suggested it.
164
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:20,140
But will the advisors agree?
165
00:13:20,850 --> 00:13:24,010
I would accommodate them by suggesting a joint-sponsorship.
166
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,390
We can't discuss anymore.
167
00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:32,800
I saw the plans you submitted...
168
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:37,430
what do you think
169
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:40,720
A joint-sponsorship with Hidden Pages?
170
00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:43,260
We will hold round one, the written test
171
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:44,680
On the hidden page…
172
00:13:45,850 --> 00:13:47,260
and hidden sands
173
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:50,180
The site will host the second round of survival tests.
174
00:13:54,430 --> 00:13:58,510
The Forest of Death has become well known as a testing site.
175
00:13:59,010 --> 00:14:02,390
I just thought a new site would be needed.
176
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,800
Hmm… I agree.
177
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,970
We have no objection.
178
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:18,930
ok then…
179
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,220
We'll meet again at the Chunin Exams.
180
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,800
yes…
181
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,850
Come to us if you have any problem.
182
00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:29,510
We'll take care of it, mr. Kribabi
183
00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:37,010
Curse. He doesn't change.
184
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:43,890
Hidden Sound probably won't be participating this time around...
185
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:46,350
So we will only send invitations
186
00:14:46,430 --> 00:14:48,390
Last time to everyone else?
187
00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:51,010
yes Also, send invitations for
188
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,430
Introduction of the new Kazekage
189
00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:56,430
In every village among the five great nations.
190
00:14:56,970 --> 00:14:58,010
I see…
191
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,510
Then we can monitor the response of each village.
192
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,640
Apart from Akatsuki, this is another reason
193
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,300
To reopen the Combined Chunin Exams.
194
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Yes I understand.
195
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:24,930
Deliver it to every village.
196
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:27,100
This is the invitation to the Chunin Exams.
197
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,600
- Right! - Right!
198
00:15:37,550 --> 00:15:39,140
We put out the bait
199
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:44,100
Now, let's see how they react.
200
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,240
Lady Tsunade.
201
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:11,950
Hidden sands answered now
202
00:16:13,450 --> 00:16:14,490
uhh…
203
00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:18,450
They will send nine teams... 27 Jenin.
204
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:21,410
Last time, they sent 30 to ten teams…
205
00:16:22,370 --> 00:16:24,200
Although it is a team short,
206
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,990
Considering the present situation of hidden sands,
207
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,450
One has to admire them for nurturing this many genin.
208
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:30,530
yes…
209
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,030
Any word from other villages?
210
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,660
No, not yet.
211
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,280
How will the other cage respond?
212
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,410
Chunin exams, you say?!
213
00:16:47,410 --> 00:16:48,620
Curse that Princess Tsunade!
214
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:50,410
He's going away!
215
00:16:50,910 --> 00:16:53,660
He probably attached the Kazekage to cooperate…
216
00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:57,330
…and planning to pounce on us among the Five Great Nations.
217
00:16:57,830 --> 00:16:59,120
what will you do
218
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Ignore him!
219
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,200
Just ignore him!
220
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,660
Do not mention its words, or the past, to anyone!
221
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,370
Especially bees! Don't let him find out!
222
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,200
Whenever there is such an event,
223
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,030
He gets excited about live concerts and what not.
224
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,330
Actually, I already told him.
225
00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:19,410
What?!
226
00:17:19,490 --> 00:17:22,620
He kept asking… I'm sorry.
227
00:17:24,620 --> 00:17:25,620
Bee!
228
00:17:25,830 --> 00:17:26,990
Where are the bees?!
229
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,370
don't tell me
230
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,740
Find the bee immediately and bring him here!
231
00:17:33,740 --> 00:17:34,740
Understood.
232
00:17:35,450 --> 00:17:36,700
It's very dull
233
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:41,580
A concert at the Hidden Leaf Village…
234
00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:44,530
Tuning up for the Chunin Exams
235
00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:48,950
Take a lesson from Kin-chan sensei!
236
00:17:49,030 --> 00:17:50,120
Yes!
237
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:53,830
Bee! Lord Raikage wants to see you!
238
00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:55,080
Please come back!
239
00:17:55,330 --> 00:17:57,200
Stupid, stupid!
240
00:18:01,490 --> 00:18:03,530
What did Lord Raikage say?
241
00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:07,330
Unfortunately, they have been swapped with village businesses
242
00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:10,120
And not enough time to prepare.
243
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:18,950
Now why would the Hokage and Kazekage send a letter?
244
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,990
Looks like they're resuming the Chunin Exams…
245
00:18:27,030 --> 00:18:29,330
What do we do?
246
00:18:29,530 --> 00:18:31,330
We must consider Lord Yagura's fourth point…
247
00:18:31,870 --> 00:18:34,780
I believe we should focus on rebuilding the village…
248
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,530
You may have a point.
249
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:39,620
Yes!
250
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:41,490
We cannot waste our time participating
251
00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,280
Announcing new jobs at an event...
252
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:45,700
CEREMONY
253
00:18:46,330 --> 00:18:48,910
Ceremony... time cannot be wasted
254
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:54,280
A ceremony for me Can't waste time for a ceremony for me? Shut up or I'll kill you.
255
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:55,660
What?!
256
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:02,700
Perhaps we should predict the Chunin Exams this time.
257
00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:04,870
Let's do it.
258
00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:10,580
Looks like Hidden Mist is also tied.
259
00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:20,870
The hidden page has provided an invitation
260
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:24,410
Combined Chunin Exams!
261
00:19:26,410 --> 00:19:28,410
Their ulterior motive is crystal clear!
262
00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:31,530
They want to test the strength of the village
263
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:35,280
And prepare for the next battle!
264
00:19:35,910 --> 00:19:38,410
Just drop them in the mouth!
265
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:40,530
I want to do so!
266
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,200
I will do this at their invitation!
267
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,330
WIND NATION FIRE NATION
268
00:20:09,410 --> 00:20:11,240
I want you to go here.
269
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,700
In the hidden rain village.
270
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:17,620
Yes, the most troublesome place.
271
00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:23,410
As expected, every person who enters is investigated,
272
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:27,740
And they are kept under strict surveillance during their stay.
273
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:30,530
Hanzo of Salamander rules it…
274
00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:32,530
Yes, that's what I heard.
275
00:20:33,370 --> 00:20:36,370
Even if I carry the invitation to the Combined Chunin Exams,
276
00:20:36,450 --> 00:20:38,530
I doubt if they will let me in easily.
277
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,240
There are rumors of domestic unrest and even a coup.
278
00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:46,490
It's closed, no one knows the true state of things.
279
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,580
While I'm at it, shall I look at their internal affairs?
280
00:20:51,410 --> 00:20:54,080
Yes, but don't take any chances.
281
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,650
What are you actually going to supervise?
282
00:22:39,820 --> 00:22:42,530
yes I am going to participate in the frontline
283
00:22:42,610 --> 00:22:44,320
Second round of supervision.
284
00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:47,070
What do you gain by smoking rebels?
285
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,360
no…
286
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,940
Then why? Why go so far to face the danger?
287
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:57,070
Next time on Naruto Shippuden: The Chunin Exams Begin!
288
00:22:58,230 --> 00:23:02,230
Naruto is working hard to forge bonds with others
289
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,900
Chonin test begins!
290
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,110
Tune in again!
