1
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:37,530
Huh? Where'd that guy go?
2
00:00:57,970 --> 00:00:58,730
Ready?
3
00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:00,600
Yeah.
4
00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:03,170
Then begin.
5
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:39,000
Painful Decision
6
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:55,630
If only Lady Tsunade would
come out of her coma,
7
00:02:56,230 --> 00:02:59,230
I know she would resolve
the situation with Sasuke.
8
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:03,000
Sakura...
9
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:04,930
Excuse me.
10
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:08,670
Sai?
11
00:03:12,130 --> 00:03:14,170
I need to speak to you.
12
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,300
Naruto did what?!
13
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:42,670
Yes.
14
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:45,630
In order to protect Sasuke.
15
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:48,330
He was bruised and battered all over.
16
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:01,670
You bastard.
17
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Still, he refused to sell out Sasuke.
18
00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:14,170
Not only that...
19
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:16,430
In order to prevent you from worrying,
20
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,530
he asked me to keep it quiet.
21
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,270
Naruto...
22
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,330
He's on his way to see the Raikage
23
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:27,670
and ask him to forgive Sasuke.
24
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,330
Why would he be so reckless?!
25
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,470
Wasn't Kakashi with him?!
26
00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:35,630
It probably wouldn't have
made any difference.
27
00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:39,000
Kakashi Sensei has faith in Naruto.
28
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,300
Even if it's a long shot,
29
00:04:41,330 --> 00:04:43,170
he probably wants to create
an opportunity for him.
30
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
If Lady Tsunade were there,
she'd have done the same thing.
31
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:52,670
Sakura...
32
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:58,870
I was only recently assigned to
Team Kakashi to take Sasuke's place.
33
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:02,400
So I still don't know
all of you that well.
34
00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:05,930
And I'm not good at understanding
a person's feelings.
35
00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:07,800
Also...
36
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:10,270
What?!
37
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:12,470
Did you tell her how you feel?
38
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:18,100
How could I?
39
00:05:19,930 --> 00:05:22,300
I'm a guy who couldn't even
keep my promise to her.
40
00:05:24,730 --> 00:05:26,570
I don't know the promise made
between you and Naruto.
41
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,470
Naruto...
42
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,900
This is a once
in a lifetime request.
43
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,570
Please...
44
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,370
Please bring Sasuke back.
45
00:05:46,030 --> 00:05:47,070
But...
46
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:52,270
Even I can tell that
Naruto loves you!
47
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,070
You care for Sasuke so much.
48
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,970
And I know what
you're going through right now...
49
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:10,970
so much so that it hurts.
50
00:06:13,130 --> 00:06:16,200
I swear I'll bring Sasuke back!
51
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:19,070
I promise that on my life!
52
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:26,500
Sakura! I'll keep my promise to you.
53
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:31,830
I swear I'll keep it because I said so.
54
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,270
I said so...
55
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:40,930
I never go back on my word.
56
00:06:41,770 --> 00:06:44,270
That's my Ninja Way.
57
00:06:49,230 --> 00:06:49,970
Sakura...
58
00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:55,170
It's as though Naruto has
been shouldering
59
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,970
the burden of his promise to you.
60
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,200
As though he intends to bear
that burden for the rest of his life.
61
00:07:02,470 --> 00:07:04,500
I don't know what you told Naruto.
62
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,230
But it's no different from
what was done to me.
63
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:14,970
It's like a Curse Mark.
64
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:21,370
Sasuke is the source of
Naruto's agony.
65
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:31,300
But aren't you a part of it too?
66
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:40,570
Ino...
67
00:07:57,230 --> 00:07:58,430
Don't cry, Ino!
68
00:07:58,730 --> 00:08:00,530
Kiba, don't be so harsh.
69
00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:04,270
You know how Ino has felt
about Sasuke all these...
70
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,800
It can't be helped!
71
00:08:08,470 --> 00:08:10,270
Things have changed since then.
72
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:14,530
Will they be okay?
73
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:16,530
Look at Ino.
74
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:18,670
How will Naruto and Sakura take it?
75
00:08:20,530 --> 00:08:22,100
Let's leave it to Shikamaru.
76
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,230
He'll find the right words.
77
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:29,370
Plus, there was that first mission of his
as a squad leader that failed,
78
00:08:30,370 --> 00:08:32,500
and he still feels somewhat
responsible for it.
79
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:38,400
If only we had been able to take
Sasuke back that time.
80
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,470
That's why he volunteered
to be the persuader.
81
00:08:47,330 --> 00:08:50,530
Wait! Naruto genuinely wants
to rescue Sasuke,
82
00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:55,400
not just because he promised
Sakura! Isn't that so?
83
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:58,300
I totally agree with you.
84
00:08:59,170 --> 00:09:02,070
But...both Sakura and I...
85
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:04,270
and everyone else rely on
Naruto too much.
86
00:09:05,330 --> 00:09:07,600
I've watched how Naruto
has been acting lately
87
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:09,570
and I figured out what he's feeling.
88
00:09:12,830 --> 00:09:14,230
It's sadness.
89
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:21,500
Then my thoughts turn to Sasuke...
and it starts to get warm inside my gut.
90
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,370
I realize now that it's anger.
91
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Whether it's for Naruto's sake
or for the village,
92
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,570
we can't just rely on Naruto.
93
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,930
We have to take action ourselves.
94
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:40,730
Sasuke is...
95
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,430
Sai is absolutely right.
96
00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:45,730
Shikamaru...
97
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:50,700
We're not kids anymore.
98
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,070
We must stop the Akatsuki.
99
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:57,630
And we must stop Sasuke.
100
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:06,800
I came here for Team 7's consent.
101
00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:09,230
Consent? Don't tell me...
102
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:12,170
Yes...exactly that.
103
00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:16,600
We can't allow war to break out
between the Hidden Leaf
104
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:19,030
and the Hidden Cloud
because of Sasuke.
105
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:25,200
Let me put it another way.
Listen carefully.
106
00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:28,470
If the Hidden Cloud should
kill Sasuke,
107
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:32,870
there's no way Ino or you,
or Naruto, would take it quietly.
108
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,500
And if through some act
of recklessness,
109
00:10:35,530 --> 00:10:38,100
Ino and you are killed by the Cloud...
110
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,930
neither I, Choji, Inoichi nor
your parents would sit still.
111
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:46,070
They would seek revenge.
112
00:10:47,170 --> 00:10:49,130
Then the other side won't
remain quiet.
113
00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:51,030
They'll want revenge.
114
00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:55,400
And if Choji and I are killed,
115
00:10:55,930 --> 00:10:58,870
then it will be our parents
who take action.
116
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:01,500
And before we know it,
we'll be at war.
117
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,370
According to the messenger
from the Cloud,
118
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,270
Sasuke is already being treated
as a criminal on a national level.
119
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:13,730
If Sasuke continues to align himself
with the Akatsuki
120
00:11:13,770 --> 00:11:16,600
and intensify the hatred throughout
the country,
121
00:11:17,370 --> 00:11:20,870
the Hidden Leaf must deal
with Sasuke.
122
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:22,130
That is my belief.
123
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:26,230
You understand where
I'm coming from, don't you?
124
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:29,100
Sakura...
125
00:11:34,930 --> 00:11:36,330
That's why I need your consent.
126
00:11:37,570 --> 00:11:39,030
Sakura, will you...
127
00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:39,900
Shikamaru!
128
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,100
Please don't...
129
00:11:46,530 --> 00:11:47,900
say anything more.
130
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,130
Sorry, Sakura...
But whatever your answer is,
131
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,900
I must act for the sake of
the Leaf's future.
132
00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:09,030
I intend to tell Naruto this too.
133
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,470
Where is he?
134
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:14,870
Naruto has gone to the Land of Iron.
135
00:12:15,930 --> 00:12:17,200
To meet with the Raikage.
136
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,770
He's willing to go that far?
137
00:12:22,170 --> 00:12:25,100
I guess this isn't gonna be easy.
138
00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:30,100
I'll talk to Naruto.
139
00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:31,570
Sakura!
140
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:43,130
He's foolish enough to like
someone like me.
141
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,430
So let me handle this.
142
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:59,270
I'm the one who made
Naruto suffer the most.
143
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:02,370
I'm always messing up.
144
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:04,330
One failure after another.
145
00:13:05,130 --> 00:13:06,530
I don't want to make
any more mistakes.
146
00:13:07,470 --> 00:13:08,870
I don't want to fail.
147
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:12,430
That's why...
148
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,200
Let the Hokage lead
the Allied Shinobi Forces?!
149
00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:38,930
If you all approve,
I will accept this appointment.
150
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,430
Why the Hokage?!
151
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,230
He is synonymous with
the dark side of ninja!
152
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800
We cannot let him take charge!
153
00:14:01,030 --> 00:14:02,600
Then whom would you suggest?
154
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:07,000
Not one of the Akatsuki came
from my village!
155
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:11,900
This important post requires trust!
I should be the one to...
156
00:14:11,930 --> 00:14:13,870
I cannot agree to that.
157
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:15,400
What?!
158
00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:27,730
I am well aware that passion
and strength are essential
159
00:14:27,770 --> 00:14:29,830
in bringing the strong together.
160
00:14:30,630 --> 00:14:32,400
But someone like you,
161
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:34,870
who lets his emotions rule
his use of power,
162
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:39,430
would send the Allied Forces into
disarray like the top of that desk.
163
00:14:42,430 --> 00:14:44,900
I am simply making
an objective, rational observation
164
00:14:44,930 --> 00:14:47,970
as a representative of
a neutral nation.
165
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,700
Lord Kazekage is much
too young to wield such power.
166
00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:55,100
He does not yet have
much pull with nations.
167
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,300
His title of Kazekage alone
is inadequate.
168
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,030
Lord Tsuchikage, on the other hand,
is too advanced in years
169
00:15:02,070 --> 00:15:04,300
and gives the impression of
one whose power has waned.
170
00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:07,770
And, he used the Akatsuki too much.
171
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,230
He is lacking in trust the most.
172
00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:16,200
Lady Mizukage's Hidden Mist is said
to be the birthplace of the Akatsuki.
173
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,330
There is the fear that inside information
will be leaked to them.
174
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:22,300
That there are spies.
175
00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:26,070
We do not know why the Akatsuki
is gathering the Tailed Beasts
176
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:28,000
or what they intend to do with them.
177
00:15:28,670 --> 00:15:31,500
But we cannot let them
have the Nine-Tails.
178
00:15:33,170 --> 00:15:35,400
The Nine-Tails belongs
to the Hidden Leaf.
179
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,930
Hence, I believe that the Hokage
is the logical choice.
180
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:43,200
First of all, I refuse to recognize
an Allied Shinobi Force
181
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:46,100
that would compromise
the security of my village!
182
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:49,670
Something about this
just doesn't feel right.
183
00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:53,070
I'd better check.
184
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:55,030
Chojuro...
185
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,630
Be prepared for battle.
186
00:15:58,100 --> 00:15:58,770
Huh?
187
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,130
Byakugan!
188
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Th-This is...
189
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:13,700
What's the meaning of this?
190
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:16,200
That right shoulder and right arm...
191
00:16:17,630 --> 00:16:20,400
and the color of the right eye...
192
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:27,400
There's no mistake.
193
00:16:28,530 --> 00:16:30,370
It's the color of Shisui Uchiha's eye!
194
00:16:32,170 --> 00:16:34,300
He was a formidable foe
that I fought against once.
195
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,270
I'll never forget his color!
196
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:44,700
Lord Hokage!
197
00:16:45,530 --> 00:16:48,070
I ask that you show us your right eye
underneath that bandage.
198
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,830
What's going on?
199
00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:55,500
I believe you stole
Shisui Uchiha's eye
200
00:16:55,530 --> 00:16:57,930
and then transplanted it into
your right eye, did you not?
201
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:00,830
Shisui...Uchiha?
202
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,670
The man praised alongside
Itachi Uchiha
203
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,270
as the Uchiha's most gifted in
the use of the Ocular Jutsu?
204
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,700
Yes.
205
00:17:12,070 --> 00:17:15,370
Shisui's particular Ocular Jutsu
allowed him to enter others' minds,
206
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,970
make them go through phantom
experiences and manipulate them.
207
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,870
The victim would be totally unaware
that he was being manipulated.
208
00:17:25,630 --> 00:17:27,400
It was an Ocular Jutsu of
the highest degree!
209
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:30,870
Hokage! Don't tell me Mifune
is being...
210
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:35,500
But...that's...
211
00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:39,070
My right eye is also
a precious spoil of war,
212
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:40,870
from a battle against the Hyuga.
213
00:17:41,530 --> 00:17:44,430
So like you, I am not really one
to talk.
214
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,330
But you cannot fool my eye,
215
00:17:47,370 --> 00:17:50,930
which undid the genjutsu cast
upon the Fourth Mizukage!
216
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:52,700
And...
217
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:54,800
Why you!
218
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:03,430
Hello!
219
00:18:17,670 --> 00:18:19,570
One problem after another!
Now what?!
220
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:21,630
Is it the Akatsuki?!
221
00:18:23,170 --> 00:18:24,100
It seems so.
222
00:18:24,530 --> 00:18:27,800
Sasuke Uchiha has snuck in!
223
00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:33,170
Now, where could he be hiding?!
224
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:36,430
What?!
225
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,130
Sasuke?
226
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,100
- Him?
- What's he doing here?!
227
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,700
The one with the Sharingan?
228
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,830
The one who took down
Haku and Zabuza?
229
00:18:46,030 --> 00:18:47,000
Who's he?
230
00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:50,230
A member of the Akatsuki.
231
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:52,600
I believe his name was...
232
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:58,400
Let's all go and look for Sasuke!
233
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,030
Yeah!
234
00:19:05,370 --> 00:19:07,330
Where is Sasuke Uchiha?!
235
00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:11,200
Answer me!
236
00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:17,630
Th-This guy is super fast!
237
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:22,970
If you refuse to answer,
I will show you no mercy!
238
00:19:26,530 --> 00:19:27,600
Sasuke...
239
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Where are you now?
And what are you thinking?
240
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:47,370
Do you think about me, Sakura,
or Kakashi Sensei...even a little?
241
00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:57,830
You brought down your
brother Itachi.
242
00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:59,470
You got your revenge.
243
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:02,270
Are you relieved?
244
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:06,570
Or are you in more pain?
245
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:21,270
Sasuke... Why won't you come home
to the Leaf Village?
246
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,770
Has hatred consumed
you completely, Sasuke?
247
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:37,030
Have you really turned into
a mere criminal?
248
00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:51,070
Now I'm starting to lose sight
of who you are.
249
00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:53,530
Hey...
250
00:20:56,270 --> 00:20:59,630
How about we talk,
Naruto Uzumaki?
251
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:38,230
This is bad.
252
00:22:38,430 --> 00:22:39,470
What is it, Karin?
253
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,830
The Samurai's movements have
suddenly become flurried.
254
00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:43,670
I think they're looking for us!
255
00:22:43,930 --> 00:22:46,600
What?! But we didn't do anything
to be spotted.
256
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Must be the doing of that guy Zetsu,
who disappeared.
257
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,800
That bastard...
I'll get him for this.
258
00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:55,300
There's too many of them!
They'll find us in no time.
259
00:22:55,870 --> 00:22:59,420
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Racing Lightning"
260
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,980
I'm very irritated
right now.
261
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,600
Tune in again!
