1
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
What's this?
2
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,370
A bug. Here, of all places?
3
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:34,470
You must be adventurous.
4
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:36,870
Going all the way to
the Land of Lightning.
5
00:00:37,630 --> 00:00:39,300
Speaking of bugs,
6
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:41,370
why does this remind me
of someone?
7
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:44,600
Um… Let's see.
8
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:20,600
"Friends You Can Count On"
9
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,870
Hey, is it true that a war is starting?
10
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:29,730
Yeah. My dad was saying we're going
to pulverize the Akatsuki.
11
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:31,200
It's true.
12
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:34,430
A war that will decide the future
of the shinobi world will begin.
13
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:37,470
Will you be going to battle too,
Shino Sensei?
14
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,770
Yes.
15
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,130
Are you scared, Sensei?
16
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:43,800
Stupid! Sensei would never be scared.
17
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:45,830
No, you're wrong.
18
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,870
Are you scared?
19
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:50,570
No way.
20
00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:54,200
But I'm confident that
I will come back alive.
21
00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:55,500
Why?
22
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,630
It's because I have friends
that I trust.
23
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:16,170
All right. If I can block both hands…
24
00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:22,570
So you two are the decoys
and he's the main one!
25
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:23,500
However…
26
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:28,530
Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu.
27
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,630
Those who specialize
in long-distance jutsu
28
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:37,400
tend to be weak in close combat.
29
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,370
You're too weak.
30
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,970
But I guess that's what you get
with an insect master.
31
00:03:58,230 --> 00:03:59,030
Shino!
32
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,630
Are you all right, Shino?
33
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:13,300
You're too weak.
34
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:15,900
But I guess that's what you get
with an insect master.
35
00:04:19,770 --> 00:04:22,870
I see. He got away.
36
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,770
I'm ashamed of myself.
37
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:27,230
Don't worry about it.
38
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:31,300
We received more intel afterwards.
39
00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:35,170
He's a jonin from
the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls
40
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,300
who went rogue and
became a bandit.
41
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,600
It just couldn't be helped if
you were no match for him.
42
00:04:41,730 --> 00:04:44,170
I'll make the report to Lady Hokage.
43
00:04:44,970 --> 00:04:46,330
We're very sorry.
44
00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:49,170
Don't blame Shino.
45
00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:54,530
I know. But he's shut himself away
in his house.
46
00:04:55,070 --> 00:04:57,300
That guy has so much pride.
47
00:04:58,270 --> 00:04:59,300
That's a problem.
48
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:04,730
Listen. I want you to help him
get back on his feet.
49
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:07,000
How are we supposed to do that?
50
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:10,770
He wouldn't listen to us.
51
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:13,770
Well, this is an order.
52
00:05:14,670 --> 00:05:18,200
I want you to go to the hot springs
on the south side of the village.
53
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,570
Take Shino.
54
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:35,130
What do you want?
55
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:36,430
You're on to us.
56
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:38,830
Shino, how is your wound?
57
00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:41,470
It's nothing to worry about.
What do you want?
58
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:44,670
What's wrong with us
just coming to visit?
59
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,330
Aren't we all on Squad 8?
60
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:49,670
Don't worry about it.
61
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,370
There's nothing wrong
with losing once.
62
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:58,070
Our enemy was a jonin,
and we're not even chunin yet.
63
00:05:58,630 --> 00:06:00,670
It's a given that he's going
to be better than us.
64
00:06:00,830 --> 00:06:04,930
Well, you have it in your head
that you're strong,
65
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:07,170
so I guess it came as a big shock.
66
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:09,570
K-Kiba…
67
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,500
Or are you depressed
about something else?
68
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:16,870
Don't tell me you're upset about
Naruto's indifference towards you?
69
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,600
Don't let it get to you.
70
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:23,830
Unlike me, he can be pretty rude.
71
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:27,070
Oh, I get it.
72
00:06:27,530 --> 00:06:29,970
The fact that you were
the only one who didn't participate
73
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,230
in the Sasuke retrieval mission
is still weighing on you.
74
00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:39,130
You were on a different mission then,
so it couldn't be helped.
75
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:40,600
Get lost!
76
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:43,330
Nope. We're heading out
to a hot spring
77
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:45,800
in the southern part of the village.
78
00:06:46,270 --> 00:06:47,100
Why?
79
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,800
Your wound will heal faster there and…
80
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:53,430
I have no intention of going.
81
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400
I figured you would say that.
82
00:06:56,630 --> 00:07:01,430
But you can't refuse.
It's an order.
83
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,100
Man, he's so hard to be around.
84
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:12,870
He hasn't spoken a word to us.
85
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,770
You're just as difficult
to be around, Kiba.
86
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:19,770
MORI-NO-YU
HOT SPRING
87
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,370
We're finally here.
88
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,700
Let's just rest up today.
89
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:33,570
All right, Akamaru,
let's go take a soak.
90
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:35,630
Yahoo!
91
00:07:38,030 --> 00:07:40,100
What? Are you coming too?
92
00:07:40,530 --> 00:07:41,370
Do you have a problem
with that?
93
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,600
N-No.
94
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:45,800
I hope that when he's naked,
95
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:48,600
he's not covered in insects…
96
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,100
Gross!
97
00:07:51,130 --> 00:07:52,430
Aren't you coming in?
98
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,500
Well I guess seeing is believing!
99
00:07:57,530 --> 00:07:58,600
I sure am!
100
00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:06,130
He's pretty normal.
101
00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:09,570
I think I stayed in too long.
102
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:21,430
What the hell is that?!
103
00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:44,070
Can we train with you?
104
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:49,770
What are you doing?
105
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:51,100
Nothing.
106
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:54,070
Why aren't you being up
front with us?
107
00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:57,030
Don't hide it.
You're practicing taijutsu, aren't you?
108
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,470
Let's train together!
109
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:02,670
Besides, that's why we came here.
110
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:04,330
What are you up to?
111
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:07,300
We're going to train with you
and make you stronger.
112
00:09:07,930 --> 00:09:12,700
This is the only way to help a proud guy
like you get back on his feet.
113
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:18,270
And if we get some training in
at the same time,
114
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:20,530
we'll be killing two birds
with one stone.
115
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,430
You're concerned about
being forced into close combat
116
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:27,670
while manipulating your insects, right?
117
00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:30,300
That's why you're training in taijutsu.
118
00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:32,830
So that you won't lose
when you're targeted.
119
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,330
You're correct.
120
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600
So let's train together.
121
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:40,870
Taijutsu training is more effective
when you have a partner.
122
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:47,000
I-I may not be that skilled in taijutsu,
but I think I can help.
123
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,270
I think the first thing is speed.
124
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:59,400
If you can overwhelm your opponent
with a lot of moves,
125
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:02,230
you can prevent him
from weaving signs.
126
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:04,200
I have no objections.
127
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:06,130
I'll begin.
128
00:10:18,670 --> 00:10:20,070
I'm going to pick up the speed.
129
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,300
Hinata is serious about this.
130
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,600
Hey, hey!
131
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:31,100
Aren't you upset that Hinata
got the better of you?
132
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:32,600
No, I'm not.
133
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:35,770
That's because I don't judge people.
134
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:38,430
I can't get a rise out of this guy.
135
00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:42,230
Shino, think of me as
that bandit shinobi.
136
00:10:45,070 --> 00:10:46,470
You're too weak.
137
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:49,170
But I guess that's what you get
with an insect master.
138
00:10:53,530 --> 00:10:54,930
You're starting to get the hang of it.
139
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:07,400
Here!
140
00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:09,800
You're not always going to face
a single opponent!
141
00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:11,770
Pay close attention to
your surroundings.
142
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:16,330
Beast Mimicry Ninja Art!
All-Four Jutsu!
143
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:23,700
Once you develop your speed and
field of vision, next is visualization.
144
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:26,870
What's "visualization"?
145
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:32,370
Well, it's seeing through your opponent.
146
00:11:33,330 --> 00:11:38,070
Like knowing his weakness and
not letting him get the advantage?
147
00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:43,670
Having a counterstrategy and always
keeping it in mind when you fight?
148
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,730
Yes, exactly!
149
00:11:46,130 --> 00:11:47,470
I see.
150
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:49,300
When you have a lot of moves,
151
00:11:49,330 --> 00:11:51,900
you're only thinking about
what's directly in front of you,
152
00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:54,900
and you lose focus of other things.
153
00:11:55,630 --> 00:11:59,970
But I don't need to worry.
I have one more brain.
154
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:01,700
Right, Akamaru?
155
00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:05,870
MORI-NO-YU
HOT SPRINGS
156
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:07,630
WOMEN
157
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,900
W-What am I doing?
158
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:16,530
I'm worried about
the two next door!
159
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,270
Shino is really focused.
160
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:39,470
He's improving right before
my very eyes.
161
00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:42,300
Such amazing progress.
162
00:12:42,530 --> 00:12:45,170
I've never sparred with Shino,
163
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,630
but I didn't expect him to
be this good in close combat.
164
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,200
Still, I cannot lose!
165
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:57,430
Now then.
Let's go with the final test, Akamaru!
166
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:00,200
Fang Over Fang!
167
00:13:06,330 --> 00:13:07,370
What's the big idea?
168
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:09,200
You dodged that well.
169
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:11,600
That was the final test.
170
00:13:12,070 --> 00:13:12,770
What?
171
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:17,170
In ninjutsu, my Fang Over Fang
ranks as the fastest.
172
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,530
Dodging my Fang Over Fang from
a blind spot is quite impressive.
173
00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:22,570
Your training is complete.
174
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:27,670
And that means Squad 8
has been revived.
175
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:28,930
Right!
176
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:39,930
No, I have no interest in being part
of your three-man squad.
177
00:13:49,330 --> 00:13:50,770
Why not?!
178
00:13:52,130 --> 00:13:55,030
Because I have no right
to be part of it.
179
00:13:57,330 --> 00:13:59,230
Without a doubt,
I have grown stronger.
180
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:03,830
However, I'm not confident enough
to watch your backs.
181
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:05,830
Shino.
182
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,970
I'm sorry.
183
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:14,200
Hey! How dare you say that to us!
184
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:19,400
Hinata and I both did our best
to help you get back on your feet!
185
00:14:20,730 --> 00:14:22,270
And believe me, I'm grateful.
186
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:23,830
Don't give me that!
187
00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:27,630
Stop it, Kiba!
188
00:14:27,930 --> 00:14:31,500
I didn't think you were so pitiful.
189
00:14:37,470 --> 00:14:40,400
It's Kurenai's Sensei's
messenger pigeon.
190
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,270
Read this.
191
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,230
Shino, that bandit is near!
192
00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:56,700
I'm going!
193
00:14:56,830 --> 00:15:00,930
Oh, but it says not to engage until
Kurenai Sensei gets here!
194
00:15:01,130 --> 00:15:02,470
I know that!
195
00:15:02,630 --> 00:15:07,400
We won't fight him. Tracking is
Squad 8's specialty!
196
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:11,500
So I'm going. And this time,
he's not going to get away!
197
00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:13,100
I'm coming with you!
198
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:16,600
So long, Shino!
199
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:29,970
Shino, why didn't you avoid
Kiba's punch earlier?
200
00:15:30,570 --> 00:15:32,570
I know you can now.
201
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,330
That's because…
202
00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:40,670
I still believe that Squad 8 can
count on you to protect us, Shino.
203
00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:53,630
It's up ahead.
204
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:56,200
Byakugan!
205
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,630
Found him!
206
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:05,500
Anyway, let's just track him!
207
00:16:05,530 --> 00:16:06,270
Right!
208
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,800
They're here.
209
00:16:14,270 --> 00:16:16,570
This scent. He's on to us.
210
00:16:17,470 --> 00:16:20,400
Looks like he's not going to
just let us track him.
211
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:22,130
Here he comes!
212
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,130
Fire Style! Red Spider!
213
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:34,430
Damn it! The only way to go is up!
214
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:38,130
Kiba! Look!
215
00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:41,030
We're surrounded.
216
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,530
You guys again.
217
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,500
You should know your place!
218
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:54,530
Blue Joro Spider!
219
00:16:58,130 --> 00:16:59,600
I won't let you escape!
220
00:17:00,870 --> 00:17:02,830
Fire Style! Flame Hurricane!
221
00:17:16,370 --> 00:17:17,770
It's over.
222
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,500
These are insects.
223
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,200
– Shino!
– Shino!
224
00:17:30,570 --> 00:17:32,030
You again!
225
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:33,430
Blue Joro Spider!
226
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:38,600
I can't move like this!
227
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:40,500
I'll start with you first!
228
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,530
– Shino!
– Shino!
229
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,800
I know your weakness.
230
00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:49,200
You're too weak.
231
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:52,200
But I guess that's what you get
with an insect master.
232
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,970
What?!
233
00:17:58,100 --> 00:17:59,170
Well then!
234
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Ridiculous!
235
00:18:03,330 --> 00:18:04,770
I will not lose to you.
236
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:08,400
That's because I'm not
the same person I was back then.
237
00:18:08,770 --> 00:18:10,400
If close combat isn't
going to work, then…
238
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,130
What? I can't weave signs.
239
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,770
Not yet! Not by a long shot!
240
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:30,170
How dare you hurt my friends!
241
00:18:31,370 --> 00:18:33,530
How dare you insult me and my insects!
242
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:36,970
Shino is so strong.
243
00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:38,330
Take that!
244
00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:39,770
Iron Tackle!
245
00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:46,300
Gentle Fist!
246
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,970
Let's go, Akamaru!
247
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:52,670
Let's finish him!
248
00:19:14,830 --> 00:19:16,000
Kurenai Sensei!
249
00:19:16,430 --> 00:19:18,870
I guess there's nothing
for me to do here.
250
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,170
Of course not!
251
00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:25,100
But it was mostly Shino's work.
252
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:27,230
Well, yeah…
253
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:31,170
Looks like Squad 8 has made
a full recovery!
254
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:32,500
Yup!
255
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:37,230
Shino, I'd put my life in
your hands any time.
256
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:38,870
Me too.
257
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:41,400
All right. That's because…
258
00:19:42,670 --> 00:19:45,800
You don't have to reason with us!
259
00:19:50,570 --> 00:19:51,600
I guess not.
260
00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:00,670
Since I made it all the way out here,
261
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,030
I thought I should have a soak
in the hot spring.
262
00:20:03,330 --> 00:20:04,970
It feels wonderful.
263
00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:07,930
Imagine, beating him by yourselves.
264
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,230
You've really gotten strong.
265
00:20:11,770 --> 00:20:16,200
But I admit I nearly panicked when
it was just you and Kiba.
266
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:18,670
Kurenai Sensei, by any chance,
267
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,330
were you watching us
the whole time?
268
00:20:21,870 --> 00:20:23,170
What are you talking about?
269
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,230
Don't tell me you knew that the ninja
was hiding near this hot spring?
270
00:20:28,670 --> 00:20:30,570
That was just coincidence,
sheer coincidence.
271
00:20:34,930 --> 00:20:38,470
Eww gross! Will you cut it out?!
272
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,970
You'll understand one day too.
273
00:20:44,430 --> 00:20:46,100
There is no need to fear battle.
274
00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:50,530
That's because our friends
always have our backs.
275
00:20:51,030 --> 00:20:52,800
– Right!
– Okay! We understand!
276
00:20:55,630 --> 00:20:57,270
Who was that?
277
00:20:57,570 --> 00:20:59,100
I can't remember.
278
00:22:37,370 --> 00:22:39,300
Back in our academy days,
279
00:22:39,330 --> 00:22:44,730
all the girls admired and talked about
that one strong and beautiful person.
280
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:46,900
That's why I decided to
281
00:22:47,030 --> 00:22:50,200
become the legendary kunoichi,
Lady Tsunade.
282
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:53,970
That's the dream that
I decided to chase after.
283
00:22:54,770 --> 00:22:59,000
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Ah, My Hero Lady Tsunade!"
284
00:23:00,330 --> 00:23:03,470
This is a story from my past.
285
00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:08,970
Tune in again!
