1
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Lost Bonds
2
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:47,400
Don't all those things we did
together in Squad 7
3
00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:49,930
mean anything to you?!
4
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,870
No… It wasn't meaningless.
5
00:01:58,870 --> 00:02:01,230
To me, you became…
6
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:04,370
my closest friend.
7
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:06,500
I became your friend?
8
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:08,100
Then why?
9
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:09,830
That's precisely why.
10
00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:12,970
That's precisely why…
11
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:15,470
you're worth killing.
12
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:22,870
You're finally awake?
13
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:27,530
A dream?
14
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:30,270
Where am I?
15
00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:32,200
You lost consciousness.
16
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:34,300
You really had us worried.
17
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,770
Where are Kakashi Sensei and Sai?
18
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:46,800
I see.
19
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:53,400
Why?
20
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,670
Why did it turn out like this?
21
00:03:01,570 --> 00:03:02,370
Naruto…
22
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,600
You should rest a bit longer.
23
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:06,030
Come on.
24
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:17,470
Sasuke…you're…
25
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,530
Did you hear?
Everyone in the Uchiha Clan got killed.
26
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:30,900
Yeah, I know.
I heard my dad talking about it.
27
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:33,470
He's the only one who survived.
28
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:37,770
I was sorta glad back then.
29
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:40,600
I wasn't the only one
who was alone anymore.
30
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:46,530
But Sasuke was good
at everything he did.
31
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,600
Good job, Sasuke!
32
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:51,300
Just what I'd expect from Sasuke!
33
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:52,130
He's so cool!
34
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:57,900
He's showing off!
I can do that too!
35
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:00,400
He was so different from me.
36
00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:01,500
Go!
37
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,030
That's why I picked him
to be my rival,
38
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:09,170
because I wanted to
become like him.
39
00:04:18,770 --> 00:04:20,700
Even though we were both on Squad 7,
40
00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,470
Sasuke was always
one step ahead of me.
41
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:28,970
The reason why I trained so hard
was because
42
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,530
I wanted to catch up to him,
even just a little.
43
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:47,000
"Am I strong?"
All I want is the answer to that.
44
00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:50,100
I just wanted to fight the strong ones.
45
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,230
And they are all right here.
46
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:57,170
Naruto… I want to fight you too.
47
00:04:59,370 --> 00:05:00,970
I was really happy.
48
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:04,900
It was the first time Sasuke
acknowledged me as an equal.
49
00:05:06,370 --> 00:05:09,430
First off, let's have you guys
introduce yourselves.
50
00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:11,530
But he…
51
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,170
My name's Sasuke Uchiha.
52
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,470
I have lots of dislikes,
but no likes in particular.
53
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:23,000
And I don't feel like summing up
my ambition as just a dream,
54
00:05:23,030 --> 00:05:24,370
but I do have an ambition.
55
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,870
The ambition to restore my clan and
56
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:29,600
to kill a certain man
without fail!
57
00:05:33,470 --> 00:05:36,000
It's been a long time…Sasuke.
58
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:39,030
Itachi Uchiha…
59
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:42,430
I will kill you!
60
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,900
This is the guy
Sasuke talked about,
61
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:47,530
the man he wants to kill?
62
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:51,630
It's just as you said…
63
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:54,370
I've hated you…
and resented you.
64
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,900
For the singular purpose
of killing you, I…
65
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:03,330
I…
66
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:07,200
have lived my life!
67
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:11,530
You decided to live for revenge.
68
00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:18,470
My classified mission was indeed
the assassination of Sasuke.
69
00:06:20,430 --> 00:06:21,870
But I've had enough of orders.
70
00:06:22,570 --> 00:06:24,570
I now want to act
on my own beliefs.
71
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:28,530
I think Naruto will get me
to remember…
72
00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:31,370
my past emotions.
73
00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:34,870
I don't know you very well.
74
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:37,570
But there must be
some kind of reason
75
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,930
Naruto and Sakura have pursued
you so desperately.
76
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,270
They don't want to sever
their bonds with you.
77
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:47,100
They're giving it their all
to secure those bonds.
78
00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:51,130
I still don't understand it
all that clearly.
79
00:06:51,970 --> 00:06:55,170
But Sasuke, you should understand.
80
00:06:57,070 --> 00:06:58,530
Yeah, I did understand.
81
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:04,470
That's why I severed the bonds.
I have a different bond.
82
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,370
A bond of hatred with
my older brother.
83
00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:25,600
What about the bond
between Sasuke and me?
84
00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:32,130
Hurry up!
85
00:07:32,570 --> 00:07:35,700
Before that, put your headband on.
I'll wait.
86
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,030
I don't need that thing.
87
00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:39,700
Just do it!
88
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,370
You won't even be able to put
a scratch on my forehead!
89
00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:45,400
That's not it!
90
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,830
I'm saying this is a testament
91
00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:50,230
to fighting on equal terms
as Leaf Ninja.
92
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,000
And I'm saying you're acting
high and mighty!
93
00:07:53,470 --> 00:07:55,870
Do you really think that we're equals?!
94
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:57,330
Yeah, I do!
95
00:07:57,870 --> 00:08:01,370
I've never once thought that
I was inferior to you!
96
00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:02,830
You're an embarrassment!
97
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:07,270
That's because you're still weak,
Little Sasuke!
98
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:09,170
Naruto!
99
00:08:09,330 --> 00:08:10,570
Sasuke!
100
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,270
Stop it, both of you.
101
00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:18,100
Stop it!
102
00:08:22,830 --> 00:08:25,400
Stop it, both of you!
103
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:26,300
Damn!
104
00:08:26,530 --> 00:08:27,570
I can't stop completely!
105
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:39,330
Lord Orochimaru has already
acquired the Immortality Jutsu.
106
00:08:40,270 --> 00:08:44,770
"Immortal" doesn't mean that
his flesh can maintain itself forever.
107
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:47,200
Before his body decays,
108
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:50,870
a strong, new body must be made
into a vessel for his soul.
109
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:52,400
That's…
110
00:08:52,970 --> 00:08:54,900
Are you saying that's Sasuke?!
111
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:57,230
Yes… That's right.
112
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,030
I won't let that happen!
113
00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:04,070
When Sasuke abandoned the village,
114
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:06,430
I really believed
I could bring him back.
115
00:09:07,330 --> 00:09:08,030
But…
116
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:13,130
Have you snapped out of it yet?
117
00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:15,770
You have no siblings or parents.
118
00:09:16,130 --> 00:09:18,330
How could you understand
anything about me?!
119
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:21,730
You've been on your own
since the beginning!
120
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:24,230
What makes you think
you know anything about me?
121
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:29,030
Having that bond is
what makes it painful!
122
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,530
And how could you know
123
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:34,030
what it feels like
to lose that bond?!
124
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,870
In the end,
I didn't understand Sasuke at all.
125
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:44,700
I just thought I knew him.
126
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,200
Why?
127
00:09:47,230 --> 00:09:49,300
Why would you go
so far for me?
128
00:09:52,370 --> 00:09:55,930
Because this is the first bond
that I've ever had!
129
00:09:56,370 --> 00:09:59,570
That's why I'm gonna stop you.
130
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:35,500
I admit it, you're strong.
131
00:10:38,130 --> 00:10:42,100
It's because you know the pain
that solitude brings,
132
00:10:42,130 --> 00:10:44,070
just as I do.
133
00:10:46,030 --> 00:10:49,770
And it's that pain that
makes people stronger.
134
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,970
And for that very reason,
if I break that bond,
135
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,530
I'll be able to achieve
even greater strength.
136
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,470
Did you know that this place
is called the Final Valley?
137
00:11:17,170 --> 00:11:21,230
Don't you think this is
a perfect stage for us, Naruto?
138
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:22,600
You…
139
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:27,070
So let's bring this fight
to a close soon!
140
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:11,130
How are you feeling?
141
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:13,270
I had them make some porridge.
142
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,330
Eat it and restore your strength.
143
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:21,670
I…was dreaming about Sasuke.
144
00:12:23,270 --> 00:12:25,870
You're going back to
the village with me.
145
00:12:27,070 --> 00:12:28,700
They're Kakashi's orders.
146
00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:42,270
I'm sorry, but you just have to
let Kakashi handle Sasuke.
147
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,500
Got it?
148
00:12:46,770 --> 00:12:47,570
Fine.
149
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:51,530
Let me rest some more,
then we can head back to the village.
150
00:12:53,970 --> 00:12:57,600
You should eat a little
to restore your strength.
151
00:12:59,370 --> 00:13:02,370
I don't have an appetite.
152
00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:17,130
Sasuke said he was going to sever
his bond with me
153
00:13:17,170 --> 00:13:18,830
and become stronger.
154
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,970
He said I could never
understand his feelings.
155
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:30,100
You were friends with Orochimaru
long ago, right, Pervy Sage?
156
00:13:30,770 --> 00:13:33,170
Why did Orochimaru desert the village
157
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,300
and decide to destroy
the Hidden Leaf?
158
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,400
Orochimaru changed after
his parents were killed.
159
00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:44,930
He became obsessed
with Forbidden Jutsu.
160
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:48,700
Maybe he longed to see his parents,
161
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,930
or he sought revenge
on the Leaf Village,
162
00:13:50,970 --> 00:13:53,230
who he held responsible
for their deaths.
163
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:57,570
My parents weren't killed.
164
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:03,830
So like you, I was accused of
not being able to understand.
165
00:14:04,570 --> 00:14:06,300
Perhaps he was right,
166
00:14:06,330 --> 00:14:09,100
I didn't understand
a thing about him.
167
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:16,030
However…
168
00:14:16,570 --> 00:14:21,800
even I can see there's too much
hate in our Ninja World.
169
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:23,700
Hate?
170
00:14:24,370 --> 00:14:27,830
And I've wanted to do
something about this hatred,
171
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,300
but I'm not sure what
must be done.
172
00:14:31,730 --> 00:14:33,330
But I have faith that
173
00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:36,070
there will come a time
174
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,500
when people can truly
understand one another.
175
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:50,200
To me, Pervy Sage was irreplaceable.
He was family.
176
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:58,530
That's why…
177
00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:03,000
Jiraiya-boy has died in battle.
178
00:15:05,830 --> 00:15:08,330
When I heard that Pervy Sage died,
179
00:15:09,630 --> 00:15:14,730
I understood what Sasuke was
talking about for the very first time.
180
00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:17,070
About the pain of losing a bond.
181
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:43,900
Naruto, let's go soon.
Are you still not ready?
182
00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:47,230
I don't feel like going outside yet.
183
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:49,730
Can you wait a bit longer?
184
00:15:50,170 --> 00:15:54,000
All right. He still hasn't caught on
that I'm a Shadow Clone.
185
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,570
Have you come to understand
a little of what pain is?
186
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:20,700
Unless you know the same pain,
you cannot truly know another.
187
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,070
And even if you get to know others,
there can be no understanding.
188
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,640
That is the truth.
189
00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:34,370
Just like how it's useless
to chase after Sasuke.
190
00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:36,140
People change…
191
00:16:36,540 --> 00:16:39,440
Sasuke isn't the old Sasuke anymore.
192
00:16:41,570 --> 00:16:44,170
Sasuke chose this himself.
193
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,100
You must forget about Sasuke.
194
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,270
If you are a ninja, become wiser.
195
00:16:55,540 --> 00:17:00,240
Fools cannot survive in our world.
That is the reality.
196
00:17:01,070 --> 00:17:03,570
If being smart means
what you say,
197
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,140
I'll remain a fool for
the rest of my life.
198
00:17:07,470 --> 00:17:11,500
Pervy Sage, I'm a big fool after all.
199
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:14,970
Kakashi Sensei's chakra…
200
00:17:16,070 --> 00:17:16,740
This way!
201
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:19,500
Sakura, don't do anything reckless.
202
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:22,900
This is just an assumption
on my part.
203
00:17:24,170 --> 00:17:25,400
But I believe Sakura…
204
00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:30,140
She intends to kill Sasuke herself.
205
00:17:36,770 --> 00:17:40,440
Sasuke has shouldered
the entire burden of the Uchiha's hatred
206
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:43,570
and intends to strike
the world with that curse.
207
00:17:44,970 --> 00:17:47,040
It is the most powerful weapon.
208
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:49,840
It's his friend and source of power,
this thing called hatred.
209
00:17:53,940 --> 00:17:55,970
And it is Sasuke's Ninja Way!
210
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:04,340
Did you know, Naruto?
211
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,170
When two shinobi are of
a high enough level,
212
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,070
they are able to read
each other's thoughts,
213
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:11,370
simply by an exchange of fists.
214
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,340
Without ever uttering
a single word.
215
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:17,040
You're naïve, Naruto.
216
00:18:18,170 --> 00:18:21,900
Tell me, could you read…
217
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,940
my true feelings?
218
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:30,470
Sasuke… Right now…
219
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:35,740
I understand how you feel as
someone who has lost a bond.
220
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:44,840
You said earlier you consider
Sasuke to be like a brother.
221
00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:49,770
What if Sasuke were to attack
the Leaf Village?
222
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,400
What would you do then?
223
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:53,500
What? Why would Sasuke…?
224
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,270
There's no way he'd do
something like that!
225
00:18:57,370 --> 00:19:01,870
Sasuke is still naïve.
He can easily be dyed any color.
226
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,940
Would you be able to stop him?
227
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:10,470
Even if you had to kill Sasuke?
228
00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:14,970
Could you weigh Sasuke
against the Leaf Village
229
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,970
on a set of scales?
230
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,670
I would defend the Leaf Village!
231
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:21,040
But I would also stop Sasuke
without killing him!
232
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,370
You're such a child.
233
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,240
What you speak of are
all fantasies.
234
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,540
A ninja must sometimes
make very harsh decisions.
235
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:34,670
The Akatsuki will be branded
as wanted fugitives.
236
00:19:34,970 --> 00:19:36,770
Then, not only I,
237
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,070
but the whole world will
hunt Sasuke down.
238
00:19:40,170 --> 00:19:42,040
Yet you bow your head
for this criminal
239
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:44,870
and plead for mercy for your friend.
240
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040
In the ninja world,
that is not friendship!
241
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:52,100
If you are prepared to bear
the burden of being a Kage,
242
00:19:52,670 --> 00:19:56,340
then do what is right
as Sasuke's friend.
243
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:05,240
I don't know what
the right thing to do is.
244
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:06,340
However…
245
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,370
Boy from the Hidden Leaf,
think hard on what you must do!
246
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:15,300
The ninja world does not indulge fools!
247
00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:19,470
I consider you my friend.
248
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,900
In the past, "friend" was
merely a word to me.
249
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:29,170
Nothing more, nothing less.
250
00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:33,200
But after meeting you,
you made me realize
251
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,340
that the meaning of that word
is what's important.
252
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,740
What does it mean?
253
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:48,070
What can you do for Sasuke?
Think hard about that.
254
00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:53,240
Sasuke…
255
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,670
If I see you…
256
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,300
If we meet, I think
I'll know the answer.
257
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,600
Sakura, you don't have to shoulder
that burden yourself.
258
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,100
It was my cowardice that
split all of you up.
259
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,770
I must have been trying to
convince myself
260
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,370
that it could be like
the old days again.
261
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,900
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Burden"
262
00:23:00,470 --> 00:23:02,340
I'm sorry I was such
a careless teacher.
263
00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:08,740
Tune in again!
