00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,600
PAW ENCYCLOPEDIA
2
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:29,600
Haven't seen him in a long time.
3
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:45,170
Granny Cat...
4
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:50,000
Give me 400 ninja cat kunai knives
and 600 shuriken.
5
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:55,900
Well, what a surprise that
you would come yourself.
6
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:02,200
The Uchiha brat was
so cute back then.
7
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:11,100
What?! We're going to catch
another cat?!
8
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:15,270
Not quite. It's actually a Nekomata.
9
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:20,030
Our mission is to get
the paw print of this Nekomata.
10
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:30,070
Nekomata, or whatever!
11
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:35,030
Let someone else go on
D-rank missions like that!
12
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:39,100
Right, Sasuke? Aren't you tired
of missions like this?
13
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:42,600
Speak up and tell him.
14
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:44,870
Sasuke?
15
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,100
If you don't like it, don't come.
16
00:01:48,770 --> 00:01:51,730
This is an Uchiha...
or rather, my mission.
17
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:53,070
Why?!
18
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,800
- Leaf's History -
Sasuke's Paw Encyclopedia
19
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:32,570
I'm glad you came, Sasuke boy.
20
00:03:33,130 --> 00:03:34,870
It's been a long time, Granny Cat.
21
00:03:35,630 --> 00:03:37,530
My, how you've grown.
22
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,430
You know her, Sasuke?
23
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:42,930
What is this place anyway?
24
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:51,300
This is the shop where
the Uchiha clan buys weapons.
25
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,500
Granny Cat is the source of
invaluable data for the Uchiha.
26
00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:56,570
She is also our client
for this mission.
27
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,000
Tamaki...
28
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:00,630
Bring me the Paw Encyclopedia.
29
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,500
Here you are, Granny.
30
00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:11,300
You turned that into a book?!
31
00:04:11,470 --> 00:04:12,600
Sasuke...
32
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:15,970
You seem to know a lot
about this mission.
33
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,830
Care to explain why?
34
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:25,570
Originally, this book was a game between
Sasuke and his older brother Itachi.
35
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,530
Don't talk about him!
36
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:34,000
I'm going to start preparations
for the mission.
37
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:41,070
What's with him?
38
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,900
They used to be so close back then.
39
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:51,170
Itachi often came by on errands
with little Sasuke in tow.
40
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,100
But Sasuke would get bored,
throw tantrums,
41
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:59,230
and give Itachi such a hard time.
42
00:05:00,330 --> 00:05:02,170
So Itachi came up with the game
43
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,070
of gathering the paw prints
of quick and nimble cats.
44
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,000
You mean a kid's game.
45
00:05:09,130 --> 00:05:10,300
Well yes.
46
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,330
But he already had the skills of a genin
even before entering the Academy.
47
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:19,230
He was an Uchiha all right.
48
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:21,630
MIKE THE SWIFT
49
00:05:21,630 --> 00:05:22,730
MIKE THE SWIFT
Anyway, it was a cute game at first.
50
00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:25,030
Anyway, it was a cute game at first.
51
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:27,830
TWO-SIDED WILD CAT
But things began to escalate.
52
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:28,630
But things began to escalate.
53
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:35,470
Sasuke completed nearly all the quotas
that Itachi half-jokingly assigned him.
54
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:40,970
DREAD LION
And his collection of paw prints
became this book.
55
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,900
But even after Sasuke stopped,
it's bothered me.
56
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:50,000
As for one of two remaining quotas
that Itachi assigned,
57
00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:54,800
I asked Ni'i of the Hidden Cloud,
and she kindly agreed.
58
00:05:55,170 --> 00:05:57,870
Ni'i of the Hidden Cloud?
What's that?
59
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:02,330
And so, you're asking us to
get the last one?
60
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,000
However...
61
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,600
Nekomata is a big shot in
the ninja cat underworld
62
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:11,470
that never shows his face in public.
63
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:16,600
He hides in an impregnable fortress.
64
00:06:17,370 --> 00:06:20,470
The number of ninja cats
who guard Nekomata is unknown.
65
00:06:20,930 --> 00:06:23,800
Can a three-man cell of genin manage this?
66
00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:29,330
Just leave it to us!
Right, Sakura?
67
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:33,230
Even Itachi thought this was
too difficult for Sasuke
68
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:34,830
and wouldn't allow him to go.
69
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:37,300
You'll have to exercise extreme caution.
70
00:06:38,470 --> 00:06:42,200
So that's what was bothering Sasuke.
71
00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:49,200
I'll go beyond the boundary he set.
72
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,730
Hey, Sasuke. Let's change into cats
and infiltrate that fortress!
73
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:01,830
I guess the best way to infiltrate
a fortress of cats is to become one.
74
00:07:03,230 --> 00:07:04,700
Transformation Jutsu!
75
00:07:08,630 --> 00:07:10,800
How is that supposed to be a cat?!
76
00:07:12,730 --> 00:07:15,030
I thought I looked pretty good.
77
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:17,330
You don't have to transform.
78
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,770
Besides, transforming won't make
you understand cat talk.
79
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:27,100
And so! If you put these on,
the cats will think you're one of them!
80
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,370
If it's that simple, why didn't you give me
these from the very start?!
81
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:37,430
I-I'm expected to wear this?!
82
00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:48,630
We're known in these parts,
so we can't go any further.
83
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,900
No ninja cat has ever
seen Nekomata's face.
84
00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:54,030
Will you be able to find him?
85
00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:57,630
Thanks to these,
infiltrating will be quite easy.
86
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,600
You look so cute, Sasuke!
87
00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:04,930
If we can get in successfully,
the rest will be easy.
88
00:08:05,470 --> 00:08:06,800
Let's go!
89
00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:08,470
Hold it.
90
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:13,030
Sasuke, we're supposed to be able
to talk to ninja cats with this thing.
91
00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:16,230
Meaning there's no need
to start a fight.
92
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:17,630
Let's just talk it out with him.
93
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:20,700
I'm sure he'll be happy to give us
one or two of his paw prints.
94
00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:21,770
Impossible.
95
00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:23,530
Why's that?
96
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:28,730
Having your paw print taken is
extremely embarrassing for a cat.
97
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,130
For humans, it's like being stripped naked,
then photographed.
98
00:08:35,330 --> 00:08:39,870
Is that all? A nude photograph?
Just coax them gently.
99
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,130
I mean, even Sakura would allow it.
100
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:43,570
Right, Sakura?
101
00:08:44,130 --> 00:08:46,670
As if! You pervert!
102
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:50,100
I think talking will be useless.
103
00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:53,000
Thanks for showing us the way.
104
00:08:53,130 --> 00:08:54,500
Get going, pervert.
105
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:03,370
Next!
106
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,670
I don't recognize you guys.
107
00:09:09,930 --> 00:09:11,670
We're newbie cats!
108
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Here.
109
00:09:15,070 --> 00:09:18,530
For someone new,
you're quick to catch on.
110
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:22,530
What gave us away?!
111
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:23,700
Like I know!
112
00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:26,870
This is a reward for you.
113
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,400
New cats that get the idea are welcome!
114
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:34,200
What's the matter?
You're welcome to it.
115
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:37,670
W-We have to play along or
they'll get suspicious.
116
00:09:43,770 --> 00:09:45,900
I must do this to get
Nekomata's paw print!
117
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:48,570
Hey, this is kind of fun.
118
00:09:55,230 --> 00:09:56,570
Stupid sneeze.
119
00:09:58,030 --> 00:09:59,570
This is fun.
120
00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:03,030
A human! There's a human in our midst!
121
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,900
Huh?! W-What're you saying?!
122
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,470
You idiot! Let's go!
123
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,830
Hey, those two are suspicious too!
124
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:13,630
They're impostors! Alert! Alert!
125
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,800
S-Sasuke! Sakura!
126
00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:22,500
What business does a human have
with Boss Nekomata's fortress?!
127
00:10:22,530 --> 00:10:24,500
Get out! Get out, now!
128
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,470
O-Okay, I get it!
129
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,670
I'm guessing you're telling me
to leave, right?
130
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,300
Okay, I'm going.
131
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:33,470
Damn it. It's back to the drawing board!
132
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:46,270
What's with all this security?
What's going on?
133
00:10:46,430 --> 00:10:48,800
I heard some human slipped in.
134
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,400
A human?! If he's nearby, I'll snare him!
135
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,030
We don't have to worry about Naruto.
136
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,770
We'll take advantage of the commotion
and search for Nekomata.
137
00:11:00,970 --> 00:11:04,200
Sakura, you start from the east tower.
I'll take the west.
138
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:07,730
Huh? At the very least,
we need a two-man team for this.
139
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,430
They already know we've infiltrated.
Time is of the essence.
140
00:11:12,130 --> 00:11:14,370
It's smarter to split up for the search!
141
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:17,000
O-Okay, I understand.
142
00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:22,170
What's all the commotion?
143
00:11:23,330 --> 00:11:27,370
Boss! A human! There's a human
who slipped into the fortress!
144
00:11:27,570 --> 00:11:31,870
A human infiltrator?!
Kick him out this instant!
145
00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:33,500
Right!
146
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,500
A human? It's been seven years since...
147
00:11:42,430 --> 00:11:44,570
No, it couldn't be.
148
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,930
If I can't get past the front gate,
149
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:03,600
I'll just sneak in from
the side like a ninja.
150
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:17,130
BAR CAT'S EYE
151
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:19,900
BAR CAT'S EYE
The best place to get information is a bar.
152
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:46,370
Your Matatabi drink, miss.
153
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:49,900
Oh...I didn't order yet.
154
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:52,100
It's from that customer over there.
155
00:12:55,930 --> 00:12:58,470
May I join you?
156
00:12:58,670 --> 00:12:59,800
Oh, yes.
157
00:13:08,370 --> 00:13:12,270
A new acquaintance.
This occasion calls for...
158
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,970
You've gotta try this, it's so good!
159
00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:25,800
Say, do you know a cat named Nekomata?
160
00:13:25,830 --> 00:13:27,070
You mean, Boss?
161
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,130
He always stays in
the main fortress tower.
162
00:13:29,170 --> 00:13:30,800
Oh, thank you.
163
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,170
You can have this.
164
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:53,500
Rigged plastic bottles?!
165
00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:57,570
These are supposed to be used
against cats! Not by cats!
166
00:14:00,330 --> 00:14:02,500
B-Boss is in the main tower.
167
00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:11,630
I'm sure Sasuke is also heading there.
168
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,300
You don't look familiar.
169
00:14:17,630 --> 00:14:19,230
I-I'm new here.
170
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:24,100
I see. So what do you want
with the boss?
171
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:27,230
Oh no... He overheard
my earlier conversation.
172
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:32,570
Who are you?!
173
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,030
You must have infiltrated with
that human earlier!
174
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,170
Small fries can stay out of this!
175
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,270
Don't call me a small fry!
176
00:14:50,770 --> 00:14:52,930
I won't allow you to get near the boss!
177
00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:55,600
He's fast!
178
00:14:55,630 --> 00:14:58,000
If there's an opening,
it'll be the instant he lands!
179
00:15:01,930 --> 00:15:04,000
Cha!
180
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:08,300
What was that just now?
181
00:15:08,330 --> 00:15:11,200
I know I landed a hit,
but there was no reaction.
182
00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:13,070
He's quick and flexible.
183
00:15:14,070 --> 00:15:17,330
Then I'll take advantage of his power
when he gets close!
184
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,430
It's so obvious you want the counter.
185
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:27,100
Y-You...
186
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,630
Y-You're a human?!
187
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:34,470
Well then... No mercy!
188
00:15:34,830 --> 00:15:36,470
Prepare to die!
189
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:44,530
Cat's fur cannot repel water.
190
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:48,270
When a cat's fur is drenched with water,
its body temperature drops rapidly.
191
00:15:52,630 --> 00:15:54,830
I-It's cold.
192
00:15:56,130 --> 00:15:57,930
I give up.
193
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:04,130
We've been beaten!
194
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,270
So you made it all the way here.
195
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,170
Kid, who are you?
196
00:16:21,630 --> 00:16:23,000
Are you Nekomata?
197
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:26,000
It'll be easy if you willingly
offer your paw.
198
00:16:26,530 --> 00:16:29,230
If not, it'll probably be quite painful.
199
00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:36,200
You have the guts to stand before me
and make such threats.
200
00:16:46,370 --> 00:16:47,270
What is this?
201
00:16:56,670 --> 00:16:57,730
Who are you?
202
00:17:38,330 --> 00:17:39,370
Sharingan!
203
00:18:13,330 --> 00:18:14,570
Disappear!
204
00:18:20,670 --> 00:18:22,870
Sharingan can see through genjutsu.
205
00:18:23,170 --> 00:18:24,730
Genjutsu has no effect on me!
206
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,270
You're pretty good.
Then I'll go with brute strength!
207
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,070
Sasuke...
208
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:07,000
Here's the final blow!
209
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Snap out of it, Sasuke!
210
00:19:14,830 --> 00:19:15,670
Sasuke!
211
00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:17,400
Are you all right?
212
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:20,700
Sakura... Naruto...
213
00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:22,900
So this is Nekomata?
214
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,100
The headliner, Naruto Uzumaki, is here!
215
00:19:27,130 --> 00:19:28,370
Stay out of this!
216
00:19:28,370 --> 00:19:29,330
Huh?!
217
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:31,170
He's mine!
218
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,730
Besides...it's just about over!
219
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,700
There's no need to dodge it.
220
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:41,370
Paper bombs?!
221
00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:44,530
You didn't think I was just
running around, did you?
222
00:19:57,130 --> 00:19:58,400
Mission accomplished!
223
00:20:03,130 --> 00:20:07,730
You drew an unlucky number
that time, Nekomata.
224
00:20:08,130 --> 00:20:10,570
I wanted to have a go with him
225
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,030
since he was Itachi's kid brother.
226
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,230
Besides, I couldn't refuse
a request from Itachi.
227
00:20:20,830 --> 00:20:22,570
M-Monster!
228
00:20:23,970 --> 00:20:26,600
In time, my kid brother will come.
229
00:20:27,070 --> 00:20:29,770
When he does,
fight him with all your might.
230
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:32,270
Although, with your strength,
231
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:34,330
my brother doesn't have it
in him yet to beat you.
232
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:36,330
Then why?!
233
00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:40,770
Growth occurs when one
goes beyond one's limits.
234
00:20:41,230 --> 00:20:43,830
Realizing that is also part of training.
235
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:51,630
I hate to admit it, but Sasuke passed
Itachi's test with flying colors.
236
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Indeed.
237
00:20:55,330 --> 00:20:56,800
But how unfortunate...
238
00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:59,970
Those two brothers were so close.
239
00:22:37,170 --> 00:22:39,930
Old man. They call you the "Eternal Genin,"
but how long have you been doing this for?
240
00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:42,530
It'll be fifty years this year.
241
00:22:42,770 --> 00:22:44,700
That's some history!
242
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:48,500
I had my share of memories with
each of the Hokages.
243
00:22:48,530 --> 00:22:50,530
Ah yes, I also had the chance
244
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:53,870
to work alongside the great Lord Jiraiya,
one of the Legendary Sannin.
245
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:55,130
With Pervy Sage?!
246
00:22:56,130 --> 00:22:59,630
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Naruto and the Old Soldier"
247
00:22:59,770 --> 00:23:03,130
Who is this old man?
248
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:08,800
Tune in again!
