Original subtitles

Fly into the wavy and twisted sky, into your hands

The distance created between us became too big,

because we were always together

Your honest reply, "See you..."

coming from that brash mouth makes it sadder.

If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying

Then I want to deliver you a smile, even if I'm not by your side

Fly into the wavy and twisted sky, into your hands

I can feel it so close,

Our two hearts

The Bewildering Forest

Hey kids, get out of here if you don't wanna get hurt.

Better not think lightly of me!

I'm not gonna hand this guy over, no matter what!

Ninja Dropouts...

It's not gonna end up with you just getting hurt.

You're gonna get killed.

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Ninja Art: Blood Rain.

Todoroki!

Damn!

My Jutsu isn't Ninjutsu.

It's Killer Jutsu.

Sakura!

Lee, are you all right?

Yeah, just barely. More importantly, where's Naruto?

Is everybody safe?

Yes. However, Commander Todoroki is nowhere to be seen!

What was that?!

Naruto...

Naruto...

Die!

Damn! Let go, you jerk!

Naruto!

Damn!

Father! Mother!

Akio!

Akio!

What a shame...

You're not getting back with your comrades.

Todoroki! Gantetsu!

Are you all right?!

Y Yeah... We're fine.

What are we going to do now?

We've gotten separated from Sakura and Bushy Brows...

There isn't any question in my mind.

It's my mission to deliver this guy to the capital.

But the ship's been destroyed, and...

Those guys are pursuing us!

What are you doing?!

If they're gonna steal this guy away from us anyway,

it would be better to take care of him right here!

What do you mean take care of him...?

Even if we delivered him the capital,

it's certain that he'll be sentenced to death...

Therefore...

Rather than having them take him away, it would be better to...!

It's not set in stone that they'll be able to take him away!

Let's go!

Your mission is to guard this guy, right?

That's exactly what my mission is too!

If you so much as try anything, your head's gonna roll!

Run!

We'll be fine... now that we've come this far...

Looks like we've totally lost them.

We've gone pretty deep into the forest, haven't we?

I can get our bearings from the position of the moon.

It's too dangerous to go back to the river.

We'll continue straight through this forest to the capital.

Because it's my mission.

Are you sure it'll be okay?

What do you mean?

You said earlier you were going to finish this guy off, right?

I was talking about a worst case scenario.

Got it... Well then, let's get moving.

I wonder if Sakura is all right...

Naruto...

It's Naruto... He's gonna be just fine.

Yeah...

So let's hurry up and link up with him!

Lee!

I detect something strange...

Where...?

Up above!

Lee!

Let's follow him! The enemy might have captured Naruto!

What's the matter?

We're walking in the direction of the moon, right...?

Then why is the moon following us?

That's strange...

What's going on...?

The Forest of Bewilderment...

Once you get lost you can never find you way out again.

He talked...

You are in custody. You're not allowed to talk!

Wait a second!

The Forest of Bewilderment...

You know something about this place?

What do you know? Tell us!

The Ninja Dropouts have a hide out in this forest.

What was that?!

So we were escorting you through Ninja Dropout territory?!

This forest is perfect for a hide out.

The fog, the winds that sweep through the forest,

the extreme magnetic fields...

They all make a person lose their sense of direction.

A person finding himself in this forest for the first time

will never find his way out.

I don't believe that...

There's no way we won't find our way out...?

You guys won't.

Huh?

But for me, a member of the Ninja Dropouts...

the outcome will be different.

I will...

I will guide you through this forest.

Yeah, that's right...

For you, a Ninja Dropout, this forest is like your backyard, right?

Okay then, let's have you guide us!

Are you some kind of idiot?!

It's true...

The finesse that the Ninja Dropouts showed earlier on

makes sense if you think that this is their garden...

And I'll believe you when you say you have a hide out here.

Then even more so...

Even more so, it's a no!

Huh?

Don't you get it?

This guy is gonna pretend to be guiding us out of the forest

but will actually be taking us to the hide out.

Todoroki...

This is an emergency situation...

If we don't kill him, we'll be killed.

W Wait a minute!

Nobody's gonna care... if this guy dies!

Todoroki!

What's that...?

I took all the money the Ninja Dropouts had stolen up to now...

So I was tortured...

Those guys don't want to rescue me...

They just want to get that money back from me.

Once they have the money back, those guys will kill me too.

Do you really think I'll believe that?

Wait a second!

The Ninja Dropouts hide out is here in this forest, right...?

Which means it's like a backyard to them too,

just like it is for Gantetsu...

Which means that...

Which means that what?

Well, since we've trespassed into their garden

it's likely that the Ninja Dropouts will come after us

whether Gantetsu's betrayed them or not...

So I think our only option is to pin our hopes on this guy...

Am I wrong?

Hey, are you sure you know what you're doing?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Those guys won't figure out this kind of circuitous route.

Can we really trust this guy... ?

What?!

I'm used to it's venom. It's nothing.

Are you really gonna be all right?

Yeah...

Hey!

What's the matter?

No way!

You fell for it. You fell for it!

Here it comes!

Ninja Art: Crimson Mud!

Die!

You're the one who fell for it!

I combined the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Transformation Jutsu.

What was that?!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Now it's my turn!

Rasengan!

I'm gonna strike you down!

Don't think it's gonna be that easy to strike me down!

Like I'll let you get away!

Naruto!

That guy! Trying to get away, huh!

What are you doing?

Th That sound is...

What?!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Rasengan!

Thanks to you we made it... Gantetsu.

What's with you guys?

They want to fight, it seems.

I won't... I won't be fooled. You...you...

We'll be safe if we just follow Gantetsu.

Todoroki!

Stop it, Todoroki!

You said you were going to deliver Gantetsu to the capital, right?

This guy...

There's no way I'll forgive this guy!

What are you talking about?!

This guy...

This guy killed my family... he killed my little brother!

Wh What was that...?

Gantetsu...

The Key to the rusted heart's door

Will always be smiling right near by

Even if rains of spears were to fall, I will run through it

Because I want to find the joy without a shape

This big dream of mine that cannot be translated to words,

I will make it come true, even if it were to deepen my wounds

We stand here today because of what we believed through,

That is why I will continue running forward, never looking away

Even if I'm told that there is no bright future

I'll change it right away, lighting it with all my feeling

The wind is probably testing our hearts

In my heart, I gently grasped my hands

You are probably searching for the answer to your tears

Your dream is always waiting near by, with the answers in its hands

The Key to the rusted heart's door

Will always be smiling right near by

It's true that Gantetsu may be evil,

but how is taking revenge out on him going to change things?!

Isn't our mission to take Gantetsu to the capital?

And I... I don't think that he's an evil person.

Anyway, you leave me no choice if you won't listen.

I'll stop you with all my strength!
