1
00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:09,500
Quite fascinating this boy,
Naruto Uzumaki.
2
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:13,530
He managed to save our Village
from danger.
3
00:00:19,370 --> 00:00:21,730
I am Hayama, the team leader
for today's mission.
4
00:00:21,770 --> 00:00:23,070
Nice to meet you all.
5
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:25,970
I've been dying for a mission,
Captain Hayama.
6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,300
Yeah!
7
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:34,130
Say, old man, we're having
a strategy meeting before the mission.
8
00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:36,230
You're in our way, so scoot!
9
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:37,330
Naruto...
10
00:00:38,130 --> 00:00:39,930
He's a member of our team.
11
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:44,470
Huh? This old man is a ninja?!
12
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:52,130
Haven't you heard of Kosuke,
the Eternal Genin?
13
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:53,900
Eternal Genin?
14
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:56,900
How long have you been
doing this for?
15
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:00,870
It'll be fifty years this year.
16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,370
Fifty years?! I guess that's amazing,
in a way.
17
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:08,870
Captain Hayama,
isn't there someone a little better?
18
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:11,600
I personally asked Kosuke to join us.
19
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:14,270
From what I understand,
he is very helpful to have around.
20
00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:17,270
And me? What about me?
21
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:19,200
I didn't ask for you in particular,
22
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:22,030
but I needed another genin
and you happened to be the one.
23
00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:26,300
Our mission is to patrol
the northern border.
24
00:01:26,470 --> 00:01:27,670
Patrol?
25
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:30,370
Talk about an easygoing mission.
26
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:34,200
True. If nothing goes awry,
it's an easy C-rank mission.
27
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,470
However, we can't take anything
for granted right now.
28
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:38,900
Hence, we're being dispatched.
29
00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:42,570
The destruction of the Hidden Leaf
just took place.
30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,300
So the ninja of other lands won't
let this opportunity pass.
31
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:46,400
Is that it?
32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,330
Exactly, Tekuno.
33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,000
And so, our mission is to
keep our enemies in check.
34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,130
We will show our enemies
35
00:01:56,170 --> 00:01:59,100
that the Hidden Leaf ninja
are as vigilant as ever.
36
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:20,070
I don't see anything around here!
37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,570
I found mushrooms!
38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,970
Hey old man...
39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,430
You shouldn't scatter
the area like that!
40
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:33,200
Captain Hayama ordered us to
track enemy footprints, remember?!
41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,730
No traces of the enemy in this area.
42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,030
I agree.
43
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:42,100
You agree? All you were doing was
picking mushrooms, old man!
44
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,300
I'm done laying traps.
45
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:48,830
Kosuke, is there somewhere
suitable to set up camp?
46
00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:50,100
Oh yes.
47
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:55,770
The Second Hokage's cave
is near here.
48
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:57,370
The Second Hokage?
49
00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:01,100
It's a cave I found
50
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:04,600
when I came here in service
to the Second Hokage.
51
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:06,770
H-How long ago was that?
52
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,170
When you've been a genin
for fifty years as I have,
53
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,500
chances are you've worked with many
who became great masters.
54
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:18,170
I remember teaming up with Lord Jiraiya,
one of the Legendary Sannin,
55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,000
as well as Lord Sakumo,
known as the White Fang,
56
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:26,470
back when they were still young.
57
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:29,400
They sound like pretty
tall tales to me.
58
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:39,630
Say, Naruto, would you mind catching
some crabs or fish with that?
59
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:43,530
Can't! I've been assigned to
examine whatever floats downstream!
60
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:45,530
So while you're at it...
61
00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:47,200
No way!
62
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:52,030
Captain said to watch if any evidence
of the enemy floats by.
63
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:58,430
Not bad!
64
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:05,370
I laid the traps.
65
00:04:08,170 --> 00:04:10,300
Man, that smells good.
66
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,830
Yum!
67
00:04:17,330 --> 00:04:19,070
It sure tastes good!
68
00:04:20,830 --> 00:04:24,770
Well then, I'm going to prepare our beds.
69
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,570
See? Kosuke is good to have around.
70
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,830
He sure is useful.
71
00:04:30,030 --> 00:04:32,670
I'm the one who caught the fish.
72
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,570
You... Do you intend to spend
the rest of your life as a genin?
73
00:05:17,130 --> 00:05:18,130
How is it?
74
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:21,000
Oh... Nothing suspicious.
75
00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:24,070
If no enemy shows up,
then that would be ideal.
76
00:05:25,030 --> 00:05:26,630
I'll take over the watch.
77
00:05:35,370 --> 00:05:36,230
Don't fall asleep.
78
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:38,970
I'm not sleeping!
79
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,900
- Leaf's History -
Naruto and the Old Soldier
80
00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:33,930
Hey! Come on, old man!
81
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,300
There are no enemies in this area.
82
00:07:36,970 --> 00:07:39,100
How would you know such a thing?
83
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:45,470
See these birds? They were completely
off guard to human presence.
84
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:53,800
This tastes great!
85
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:56,200
It's so good!
86
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,770
Oh, is it? I'm glad you like it.
87
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,870
I'm sure it was around here.
88
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,970
It's a spring that the Third Hokage
and I discovered long ago.
89
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:31,570
Just how long ago was this anyway?
90
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,130
This is where I received a harsh lecture
from the Third Hokage.
91
00:09:35,830 --> 00:09:38,430
From Old Man Third Hokage? How come?
92
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:44,270
He questioned if I had the Will of Fire.
93
00:09:45,870 --> 00:09:47,270
Will of Fire?
94
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,430
Captain!
95
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:55,330
There's a change in the air.
Be on your guard.
96
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:59,370
What ninja are you?
97
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:06,900
If you don't answer,
98
00:10:06,930 --> 00:10:10,000
we'll take this as trespassing into
the Land of Fire and...
99
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:17,970
Tekuno, blow them up!
100
00:10:24,270 --> 00:10:26,330
There are still about twenty of them.
101
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:29,900
This is more than a small scouting party.
102
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:31,230
Captain Hayama!
103
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:34,000
They got us hemmed in!
104
00:10:34,030 --> 00:10:36,130
The left and right are diversions!
Up above!
105
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:38,400
Shock Blade!
106
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:54,530
We're changing strategy.
107
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,800
One of us must get away and
108
00:10:56,830 --> 00:10:58,870
make it back to the Leaf Village
to report this.
109
00:10:58,930 --> 00:10:59,830
Captain?!
110
00:10:59,870 --> 00:11:01,400
Tekuno, take charge.
111
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:03,030
Yes, sir! Let's go.
112
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,070
Come, Naruto.
113
00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:17,130
Earth Style?!
114
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,170
I am Hidden Leaf Jonin,
Hayama Shirakumo!
115
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,230
Don't think you'll get out
of here alive!
116
00:11:39,130 --> 00:11:41,400
Will the captain be all right
by himself?
117
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:43,070
I have faith in him!
118
00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:45,400
The enemy seems to be
quite strong in numbers.
119
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,200
The captain acted as a lure,
120
00:11:47,230 --> 00:11:49,070
and they still have enough men
to split up and pursue us?!
121
00:11:49,270 --> 00:11:51,400
What'll we do, Tekuno?!
122
00:11:51,830 --> 00:11:53,030
If we can buy some time,
123
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:55,670
we'll be able to reach
our second line of defense.
124
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:58,430
You need time? Leave it to me!
125
00:11:59,270 --> 00:12:01,130
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
126
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:03,100
Go!
127
00:12:10,530 --> 00:12:12,230
What's the matter, Naruto?
128
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,230
They already wiped out my clones!
129
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:17,330
The enemy is right behind us!
130
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:20,530
You two, go on ahead.
131
00:12:20,670 --> 00:12:21,370
But...
132
00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:24,400
You guys will only be in my way!
133
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,130
Tekuno!
134
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:36,430
Go!
135
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:44,900
Come and get me!
136
00:12:52,130 --> 00:12:55,700
They've recruited some
awfully swift ninja.
137
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:16,630
Leaf Ninja Art...
138
00:13:20,970 --> 00:13:22,130
Yanagi.
139
00:13:38,570 --> 00:13:39,570
So strong.
140
00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:42,700
Old man.
141
00:13:42,730 --> 00:13:44,170
What kind of jutsu was that?
142
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,800
When you've been a genin for fifty years,
you pick up a few tricks.
143
00:13:47,970 --> 00:13:49,470
No way!
144
00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:52,030
No way was that a genin jutsu!
145
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,470
Well, neither is your
Shadow Clone Jutsu, right?
146
00:13:59,270 --> 00:14:01,170
That's... I had my reasons.
147
00:14:02,130 --> 00:14:04,900
I also had my share of reasons
in the past.
148
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:14,830
It was... It was my fault.
149
00:14:15,570 --> 00:14:16,600
I'm...
150
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,530
Being a ninja means you risk death.
151
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:21,800
It wasn't your responsibility alone.
152
00:14:22,270 --> 00:14:25,800
They died because I gave
a careless order!
153
00:14:26,270 --> 00:14:31,600
I wanted to become a chunin
and was thinking only of success.
154
00:14:48,570 --> 00:14:53,230
Say Naruto, will you report back
to the village alone?
155
00:14:53,730 --> 00:14:56,070
Huh? What about you?
156
00:14:57,470 --> 00:14:59,370
We must demonstrate to them
157
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,970
that the military strength of
the Hidden Leaf remains intact.
158
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,930
Then let me help!
159
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:07,430
Someone must go back to report this!
160
00:15:09,970 --> 00:15:11,030
Please go!
161
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,200
I'm counting on you, Naruto.
162
00:15:41,830 --> 00:15:43,630
Earth Style: Landslide Jutsu!
163
00:15:49,130 --> 00:15:50,130
Explode!
164
00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:55,800
If you are determined to spend
the rest of your life as a genin, so be it.
165
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:58,130
However, I will not allow you
to slack off.
166
00:15:59,030 --> 00:16:02,070
Follow me.
I will beat my jutsu into you!
167
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:05,800
Water Style: Water Barrier!
168
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:10,770
Avalanche Formation!
169
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,270
Shuriken...
170
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,500
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
171
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,900
A-An artificial leg?!
172
00:16:38,270 --> 00:16:40,630
Having trouble, old man?
173
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,270
You sure made it difficult for us.
174
00:16:47,530 --> 00:16:48,470
Difficult?
175
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:52,030
Difficult, you say?!
176
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:55,000
You sacrificed your genin like
they were nothing.
177
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,630
Is this your way of doing things?!
178
00:16:58,630 --> 00:17:01,300
If ordered to give your life, you obey.
179
00:17:01,570 --> 00:17:03,700
Isn't that what genin are supposed to do?
180
00:17:04,330 --> 00:17:07,930
Didn't you use two of your subordinates
as diversions?
181
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:14,200
The two who stayed behind to
buy us time were the jonin.
182
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:17,970
They did it so we genin could escape!
183
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:19,200
What?!
184
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,430
There isn't a single ninja
among the Hidden Leaf...
185
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:26,100
who would sacrifice
the lives of genin!
186
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,100
Y-You mean genin took out
so many of us?
187
00:17:30,770 --> 00:17:32,230
Unforgivable...
188
00:17:32,270 --> 00:17:34,570
It's absolutely unforgivable!
189
00:17:37,330 --> 00:17:38,570
Don't think for a moment that
190
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,230
you will have a swift
and painless death!
191
00:17:43,570 --> 00:17:48,530
I'll cut your body up into little pieces.
192
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:55,900
You've done enough to atone
for your comrades' death.
193
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,700
Enough, Kosuke, become a jonin.
194
00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:02,030
But Third Hokage, I'm still...
195
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:05,130
Otherwise, from now on
you'll only be assigned
196
00:18:05,170 --> 00:18:07,700
the light missions of a genin.
197
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:13,530
As long as I'm alive, I won't let you go
to your death on a mission.
198
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,400
If you are a Hidden Leaf ninja,
find your Will of Fire!
199
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:22,470
Do not burn away your life senselessly.
200
00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:27,400
Second Hokage... Third Hokage...
201
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:31,070
Did I also have a Will of Fire?
202
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,330
Naruto... Why?
203
00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:44,070
I don't need to run away!
204
00:18:44,530 --> 00:18:45,230
What?
205
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,830
Because I'm not gonna die
in a place like this.
206
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:49,270
What are you saying?
207
00:18:49,530 --> 00:18:51,700
I'm gonna be the Hokage!
208
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,770
And a guy who plans on
becoming the Hokage
209
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,230
can't allow a comrade to die for him!
210
00:19:01,570 --> 00:19:02,870
You are so rash.
211
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Of course it hurts.
212
00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:08,230
Please try not to do this
ever again.
213
00:19:09,330 --> 00:19:12,270
I will not allow a comrade to
give his life for me!
214
00:19:17,370 --> 00:19:19,100
As long as I'm alive,
215
00:19:19,130 --> 00:19:21,430
I won't let you go to your death
on a mission.
216
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:24,470
Make amends after
you come through alive.
217
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,330
O-Old man?
218
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:29,930
I don't think I can die just yet.
219
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:31,930
Hey!
220
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:33,630
Are you two done?
221
00:19:33,670 --> 00:19:35,830
Behold, the Hidden Leaf Ninja!
222
00:19:35,870 --> 00:19:36,730
Huh?
223
00:19:36,770 --> 00:19:39,400
I won't allow the Hidden Leaf to be
destroyed by the likes of you!
224
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:41,000
Just die, old man!
225
00:19:41,030 --> 00:19:42,170
I will not!
226
00:19:42,570 --> 00:19:44,670
Earth Style: Earth Dragon!
227
00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:47,970
Water Style: Water Dragon!
228
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,900
Naruto...
229
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:08,130
Yes?
230
00:20:09,730 --> 00:20:13,430
Like father, like son. How true.
231
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:16,100
I'm gonna be the Hokage!
232
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,700
We have to go back for
Captain Hayama and Tekuno.
233
00:20:21,330 --> 00:20:22,270
Right!
234
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:32,700
And the enemy ninja attacked!
235
00:20:32,730 --> 00:20:37,300
And I turned to the hero who saved
the Leaf Village and shouted,
236
00:20:37,330 --> 00:20:40,730
"Go! Leave them to me!"
237
00:20:40,830 --> 00:20:42,930
Sounds like a pretty tall tale to me.
238
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:47,370
Captain Hayama! Say something.
239
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:49,470
Yeah, sure.
240
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,730
Jeez!
241
00:20:57,970 --> 00:21:01,700
You left behind a fine son,
Fourth Hokage.
242
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,500
Hey, did you see that Sakura?
243
00:22:39,530 --> 00:22:42,530
That woman walking with Kakashi
was beautiful!
244
00:22:42,630 --> 00:22:44,270
Could she be Kakashi's...
245
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,670
So you're interested too, eh?
246
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:48,470
Idiot! It's not like that.
247
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,600
Stop acting like you're not.
248
00:22:49,630 --> 00:22:52,600
Hey guys! They're going.
So what are we going to do?
249
00:22:52,630 --> 00:22:56,070
Isn't it obvious?
We'll secretly follow them!
250
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,900
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Kakashi Love Song"
251
00:23:00,930 --> 00:23:03,570
This is big news!
252
00:23:05,330 --> 00:23:09,030
Tune in again!
