1
00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:24,900
Say, that boy...
2
00:00:25,770 --> 00:00:29,230
He's the one. The only one
who failed to make it!
3
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:31,630
Humph! Good for him!
4
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:34,700
It would be terrible if someone
like him became a ninja.
5
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:36,300
I mean that boy is actually...
6
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:38,530
Don't say another word.
It's taboo.
7
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:46,230
Damn! What's with all this?!
8
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,530
Heir to Darkness
9
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,900
Good thing I took extra measures,
just in case.
10
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,330
They haven't returned yet.
11
00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:53,370
Naruto?
12
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,430
Why you...!
13
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:56,270
Wait, Naruto! Stop!
14
00:02:56,630 --> 00:03:00,900
No, Captain Yamato!
Let me just say this!
15
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,300
Old man Tonbei!
16
00:03:03,370 --> 00:03:05,900
You knew the Forbidden Jutsu
was embedded
17
00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:07,900
into Hotaru's back, didn't you?!
18
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,070
Answer me!
19
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:16,370
The Forbidden Jutsu is in that girl?
20
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:25,400
Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
21
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:28,500
Please stop!
It was my grandfather.
22
00:03:28,670 --> 00:03:32,000
You served Hotaru's grandfather
all through the years, didn't you?
23
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,570
So why didn't you stop him?!
24
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:36,700
Please stop, Naruto!
25
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:38,930
No, I won't stop!
26
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:41,430
Because of that...
Because of that, you're...
27
00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:42,830
I asked that it be done!
28
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:49,000
What did you say?
29
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:53,770
I...I asked for the Forbidden Jutsu!
30
00:03:55,170 --> 00:03:56,170
Lady Hotaru...
31
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,470
Hotaru... Why do such a thing?
32
00:04:17,730 --> 00:04:20,130
Tonbei... I'm glad you're all right.
33
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:24,230
I should say that about you,
Lady Hotaru.
34
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:29,270
Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
Sir Utakata...
35
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:32,370
I am beholden to you
for all you have done for us.
36
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:34,730
Don't mention it.
37
00:04:34,770 --> 00:04:38,730
But the Tsuchigumo Village was already
under the bandit's control.
38
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,270
I see... And that is why
you returned here...
39
00:04:42,970 --> 00:04:43,730
Yes.
40
00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:45,600
Never mind that.
41
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:47,770
Tell us the rest of what
you were saying earlier!
42
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:50,370
About the Forbidden Jutsu?
43
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,830
Yeah.
44
00:04:53,130 --> 00:04:56,270
It was Grandfather's dream.
45
00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:58,500
En no Gyoja's...?
46
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,500
The Tsuchigumo Clan was once
hailed as a proud clan.
47
00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:07,270
By possessing
a powerful Forbidden Jutsu,
48
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,670
we were said to even be able to tilt
the balance of the Great Ninja War.
49
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,230
But at the same time,
50
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:17,330
our clan was targeted often
because of the Forbidden Jutsu.
51
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:20,770
And one life after another was lost.
52
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,830
When the Great War was over,
53
00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:27,630
only a few remained who could
wield the Forbidden Jutsu.
54
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,670
Furthermore, Lord En no Gyoja and
55
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:35,530
the village elder had disagreements
over the clan's survival.
56
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,230
This led to the clan splitting
into two groups
57
00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:41,070
with one in
the Tsuchigumo Village and
58
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,430
the other at Mount Katsuragi.
59
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,400
However, Lord En no Gyoja was
already quite advanced in years
60
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:53,600
and few opted to follow him
to Mount Katsuragi.
61
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:01,600
Hotaru...I'm counting on you.
62
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:04,730
The future of the Tsuchigumo Clan...
63
00:06:15,030 --> 00:06:17,800
Grandfather!
64
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,770
Grandfather believed that
protecting the Tsuchigumo name
65
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,530
was the way to make amends and
66
00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:31,770
honor those who lost their lives
for the Forbidden Jutsu.
67
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:37,530
That is why I want to carry
on the wish of my grandfather,
68
00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:39,400
who was my master.
69
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,930
How stupid.
70
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:48,030
Just for that you had the Forbidden Jutsu
embedded in your body?
71
00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:52,830
For your master, for your clan...
It's all so stupid.
72
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:55,330
Even so, it's a student's duty
to carry out
73
00:06:55,370 --> 00:06:56,930
the wishes of her master!
74
00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:59,430
Hotaru...
75
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,630
You wouldn't understand...
Master Utakata...how I feel.
76
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:12,870
Lady Hotaru,
perhaps Sir Utakata is right.
77
00:07:13,930 --> 00:07:14,800
Tonbei?
78
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:17,470
It is evident that
79
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:19,930
the Tsuchigumo Clan no longer
has the strength
80
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:21,900
to safeguard the Forbidden Jutsu.
81
00:07:22,770 --> 00:07:24,830
If we allowed the misuse
of the Forbidden Jutsu,
82
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:28,470
Lord En no Gyoja would
surely turn in his grave.
83
00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:31,070
To prevent its misuse,
84
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,700
we have no choice
but to destroy the jutsu.
85
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:36,530
Destroy?
86
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,100
And how would you do that?!
87
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:43,800
The Forbidden Jutsu is
inside Hotaru's body!
88
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,570
You don't mean...!
89
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:47,270
Don't get me wrong.
90
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:52,600
Mr. Tonbei...
You mustn't move too much.
91
00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:54,430
Do not be concerned.
92
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:07,730
What is this?
93
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:12,370
Lord En no Gyoja entrusted me
with that scroll.
94
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:17,500
It contains the way to
remove the Forbidden Jutsu
95
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,330
from Lady Hotaru's body.
96
00:08:20,130 --> 00:08:22,330
Is there such a method?
97
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,300
Lord En no Gyoja would never have
embedded the Forbidden Jutsu
98
00:08:27,330 --> 00:08:31,370
into Lady Hotaru without
a way to remove it.
99
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:35,030
What kind of master would
even think of such a thing?
100
00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:38,870
Please forgive me.
101
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,370
I should have advised you sooner.
102
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:45,030
Once it is removed from your body,
103
00:08:45,070 --> 00:08:47,730
the Forbidden Jutsu will
no longer have any power.
104
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,730
I also longed to restore
the clan's former glory.
105
00:08:53,270 --> 00:08:56,370
Without the Forbidden Jutsu,
that dream would fade.
106
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,770
But this is how it should be.
107
00:09:00,330 --> 00:09:01,300
You can't be serious!
108
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Friends of the Hidden Leaf...
109
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:06,830
Please help me remove
the Forbidden Jutsu from Lady Hotaru.
110
00:09:07,470 --> 00:09:11,370
However, we cannot make
such decisions on our own.
111
00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:14,930
Then hurry up and get
Granny Tsunade's permission.
112
00:09:15,130 --> 00:09:17,200
We can't just leave Hotaru like this!
113
00:09:17,530 --> 00:09:18,730
Please wait!
114
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:22,170
I haven't decided to let go
of the Forbidden Jutsu yet!
115
00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:24,000
But Lady Hotaru...
116
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:26,500
Not only the Forbidden Jutsu,
117
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:28,900
but also your life would be in peril!
118
00:09:29,130 --> 00:09:31,000
It's my life!
119
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:39,630
Come to your senses!
120
00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:42,170
Sir Utakata...
121
00:09:44,670 --> 00:09:46,600
I-I'm sorry.
122
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:52,130
Are you telling me to abandon
my clan pride and honor?!
123
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:54,600
Hey, wait!
124
00:09:54,670 --> 00:09:55,530
Naruto!
125
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:58,500
I'll bring her back!
126
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,500
Lady Hotaru...
127
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:03,530
I'll go and convince her.
128
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,530
Hold on, please!
129
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:07,430
We cannot let you move around.
130
00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:11,330
She can't have gone far.
I'll be right back.
131
00:10:12,030 --> 00:10:14,200
I won't put Hotaru in danger.
132
00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:18,430
All right. Sakura, go with him!
133
00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:19,630
Yes, sir.
134
00:10:20,670 --> 00:10:23,270
I'd be better at scouting her out.
135
00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:27,030
There's something I want you
to do right now.
136
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,200
Yes, sir.
137
00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:38,630
Grandfather...
138
00:10:41,370 --> 00:10:43,830
Hotaru...take a look.
139
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:49,970
Once, the Tsuchigumo clan was
known far beyond those mountains,
140
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,700
and all one could see from here
was part of our lands.
141
00:10:54,370 --> 00:10:57,400
Our clan was so grand, wasn't it?
142
00:11:00,270 --> 00:11:02,770
Are you crying? Grandfather...
143
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,070
Was I wrong?
144
00:11:07,530 --> 00:11:11,800
If I had not been the leader,
would the Tsuchigumo Clan...?
145
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:28,270
So your grandfather's grave is here?
146
00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:30,330
I picked those near by.
147
00:11:31,530 --> 00:11:33,300
Thank you, Naruto.
148
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:36,270
With a view like this,
149
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,300
your grandpa must be very happy
to be buried here.
150
00:11:43,530 --> 00:11:46,630
I'm sure he's worried about you.
151
00:11:47,370 --> 00:11:50,070
He's right. Let's go back, Hotaru.
152
00:11:52,830 --> 00:11:54,170
Sir Utakata.
153
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:03,400
Well? Let's go.
154
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:06,570
But I...
155
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:10,130
If you truly wish to restore
your clan's glory,
156
00:12:11,070 --> 00:12:12,900
you don't need to rely
on such a thing.
157
00:12:14,370 --> 00:12:18,670
Having too much power only
gives rise to suffering.
158
00:12:24,570 --> 00:12:25,770
I'm the prime example...
159
00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:31,830
Right, Naruto?
160
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,070
Huh?
161
00:12:34,530 --> 00:12:36,970
There's still one other way.
162
00:12:37,230 --> 00:12:38,630
Another way?
163
00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:43,330
There is someone named Shiranami
among the Tsuchigumo Clan...
164
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,700
who is able to use
the Forbidden Jutsu.
165
00:12:48,430 --> 00:12:49,830
Who's Shiranami?
166
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:51,930
He is grandfather's student.
167
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:54,030
En no Gyoja's student?
168
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:58,930
Well, more correctly,
he is the student's student.
169
00:12:59,670 --> 00:13:05,500
Sir Shiranami's father, Sir Hato,
was my grandfather's first student.
170
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:11,370
I have heard that he was brilliant
with exceptional ninjutsu skills.
171
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:18,030
And it was said that his son,
Sir Shiranami, was even more skilled.
172
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,770
But during the Great War,
Sir Shiranami's father was killed
173
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,230
trying to protect the Forbidden Jutsu.
174
00:13:26,970 --> 00:13:30,970
Grandfather sensed that
Sir Shiranami was also in danger
175
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,670
and had him flee the village.
176
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:39,130
Grandfather often said that
if those two were here now,
177
00:13:39,170 --> 00:13:42,330
this village would not be
in such dire straits.
178
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,870
So where is this Shiranami fellow now?
179
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,200
You know of anything?
180
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:52,100
Well...
181
00:13:52,930 --> 00:13:56,430
There's no telling when
the bandits will return.
182
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:59,170
We have no time to look for Shiranami.
183
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,900
Make up your mind, Hotaru.
184
00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:08,570
All right then! I'll go and
find this Shiranami!
185
00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:11,270
What are you talking about?!
186
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:13,870
Actually...Hotaru...
187
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:17,470
I'm sorta in the same dilemma as you.
188
00:14:17,830 --> 00:14:18,970
You too, Naruto?
189
00:14:19,570 --> 00:14:21,270
Naruto...that's...
190
00:14:24,070 --> 00:14:27,130
I can't go into detail,
but deep down,
191
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:30,370
I've always been troubled by it.
192
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:35,600
Anyway, I can be like this now
because people like Sakura,
193
00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:38,930
the Pervy Sage and all the rest
of my friends have stayed by me.
194
00:14:39,730 --> 00:14:42,170
But Hotaru, you're awfully strong.
195
00:14:42,570 --> 00:14:46,630
You accepted those troubles
and you've suffered all alone.
196
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:52,300
Carrying your clan and
your grandpa's dream on your shoulders.
197
00:14:55,070 --> 00:14:58,670
That's why I want you to
fulfill your dream.
198
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:03,900
If this Shiranami fellow is found,
he'll be an ally, right?
199
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:06,670
Then you won't be alone.
200
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,030
And you don't have to suffer
by yourself.
201
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,800
Naruto...
202
00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:14,470
Now don't worry.
203
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,230
Just leave it to me, Naruto Uzumaki.
204
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:23,900
Give me one...no, two days.
205
00:15:24,430 --> 00:15:26,700
I'll find Shiranami without fail.
206
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,770
What a surprise.
207
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:42,530
I never would've guessed my name
would be mentioned here.
208
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,230
Is there some kind of trouble?
209
00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:07,900
I see...
210
00:16:08,570 --> 00:16:11,070
It's pretty much what I imagined.
211
00:16:17,930 --> 00:16:19,130
What will you do?
212
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,030
It will be dangerous to keep
the Forbidden Jutsu intact.
213
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,570
But it says here they want to
keep the Forbidden Jutsu
214
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,070
and guard the girl at the Leaf village.
215
00:16:30,670 --> 00:16:33,670
Without a doubt, it's necessary
to keep the Forbidden Jutsu
216
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:36,130
from falling into
a third party's possession.
217
00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:43,870
Cripes... I acted like finding the guy
was no big deal for me,
218
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:45,330
but where do I start looking?
219
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,830
Well, it's no use thinking about it.
220
00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:50,000
This calls for the strength
in numbers approach!
221
00:16:50,970 --> 00:16:52,900
Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
222
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,430
Naruto is...?
223
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Indeed, if Shiranami returns
to the village, we could...
224
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,900
Can he find him in only two days?
225
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,900
We may not be able to wait
that long.
226
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:14,000
If the bandits attack again
before Naruto returns...
227
00:17:14,930 --> 00:17:15,800
You're right...
228
00:17:16,570 --> 00:17:18,870
Just in case, we'll make preparations
229
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,430
and stand by to purge
the Forbidden Jutsu.
230
00:17:22,570 --> 00:17:23,800
You understand, Hotaru?
231
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:25,930
Yes.
232
00:17:27,030 --> 00:17:30,870
It looks like the Diremption Jutsu
requires potions.
233
00:17:31,170 --> 00:17:33,830
Sakura, you'll be in charge.
234
00:17:33,870 --> 00:17:35,430
Mix the potion and be ready.
235
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,630
Understood.
236
00:17:48,170 --> 00:17:52,530
Lord En no Gyoja would never
have embedded the Forbidden Jutsu
237
00:17:52,570 --> 00:17:56,370
into Lady Hotaru without
a way to remove it.
238
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:59,900
What kind of master would
even think of such a thing?
239
00:18:06,130 --> 00:18:08,030
M-Master...?!
240
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:16,030
No, Utakata! He didn't...
241
00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:19,600
Harusame didn't try to kill you.
It wasn't like that.
242
00:18:21,930 --> 00:18:25,270
Could it be...
that Tsurugi spoke the truth?
243
00:18:26,370 --> 00:18:29,970
If so, then what was
Master trying to tell me?
244
00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:33,870
I must speak to Tsurugi once more.
245
00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:44,730
Say, ever heard of a guy
named Shiranami?
246
00:18:47,470 --> 00:18:50,030
Do you know a guy
named Shiranami?
247
00:18:52,570 --> 00:18:54,130
I see... Don't know him, huh?
248
00:18:55,130 --> 00:18:56,330
Anything you know?
249
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,800
If you find out, tell me,
Naruto of the Hidden Leaf!
250
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,970
It's no use...
251
00:19:11,030 --> 00:19:12,800
I've used up my chakra and
252
00:19:12,830 --> 00:19:14,630
I don't even have a clue.
253
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:16,700
What's the matter?
254
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:19,800
Standing in the middle
of the road like this.
255
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,770
Well... I'm looking for someone
256
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,100
and just can't seem to find him.
257
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:26,670
Hmm... Who might that be?
258
00:19:27,130 --> 00:19:29,230
A guy named Shiranami.
259
00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:31,570
Shiranami...
260
00:19:31,930 --> 00:19:33,430
Oh, there is such a man.
261
00:19:33,830 --> 00:19:34,530
No kidding!
262
00:19:35,130 --> 00:19:37,170
Is that true?!
Are you sure about this, old man?!
263
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:42,730
Yes. There's a man by that name
who lives in a small hut
264
00:19:42,770 --> 00:19:47,230
by the waterfall beyond this mountain,
and does ninja training.
265
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:50,770
Beyond this mountain, right?!
Thanks, old man!
266
00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:52,370
Found him!
267
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:10,570
Sir Utakata...
Don't tell me he already left...
268
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:19,900
Come on out, Tsurugi.
269
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,970
Tell me what you had to
say one more time.
270
00:20:39,070 --> 00:20:40,630
Utakata is on the move.
271
00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:44,730
I see...Utakata...
Is he trying to lure me?
272
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,570
- Let's go!
- Yes, sir!
273
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,600
What?!
274
00:22:37,370 --> 00:22:39,230
I finally got a lead!
275
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,370
This Shiranami of
the Tsuchigumo Clan
276
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,030
was supposed to be a skilled ninja...
277
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,930
I'm sure the guy training
in the mountains
278
00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:49,530
must be the one Hotaru
is looking for!
279
00:22:50,030 --> 00:22:52,800
Looks like I'll make it within
the time I promised.
280
00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:55,130
Just sit tight, Hotaru.
281
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:57,270
I'll bring him to you right away!
282
00:22:57,930 --> 00:23:01,130
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Separation"
283
00:23:01,430 --> 00:23:03,870
I've been looking for you,
Shiranami!
284
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:07,530
Tune in again!
