1
00:01:30,980 --> 00:01:33,230
The Complete Ino-Shika-Cho
Formation
2
00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:37,070
I am not… I am not fat.
The Complete Ino-Shika-Cho
Formation
3
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400
I'm just pleasingly plump!
4
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Why?
5
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:18,190
It's no good.
6
00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:20,610
Choji has totally lost his will to fight.
7
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Why, Choji?!
8
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,400
It didn't work!
9
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Choji! Move away!
10
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Choji!
11
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:47,230
Ino Mind Transferred into Choji.
12
00:02:52,730 --> 00:02:54,110
That was close!
13
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Thanks for the Shadow Possession,
Shikamaru!
14
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Ino…
15
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,480
We went on many missions
with Asuma Sensei as Team 10.
16
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:10,610
I know exactly how you feel.
17
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,530
Shikamaru and I don't want
to fight him either.
18
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:27,400
But because we know Asuma Sensei
better than anyone else,
19
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:30,730
we can stop him with the least amount
of risk to the Allied Force!
20
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Choji…
21
00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:44,690
Choji, you haven't forgotten what
these piercings represent, have you?!
22
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,610
Everyone in Team 10 is
now a chunin.
23
00:03:55,070 --> 00:03:58,360
That means I'm no longer
in charge of you.
24
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,570
Each of you will go on
to become captains
25
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:04,690
and eventually lead
your own teams.
26
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:09,530
These earrings are a gift to
celebrate your promotions.
27
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Don't ever forget that the four of us
were members of Team 10!
28
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:19,780
And these earrings are proof
29
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:24,400
that you have come of age
in your respective clans.
30
00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:33,400
Each of you know story behind
the Practice of the Piercings.
31
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,610
Now go, and present
your earrings to your clans.
32
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,570
And when you do,
33
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:44,320
you will be officially recognized
as full-fledged shinobi!
34
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,780
Now, get going!
35
00:04:47,650 --> 00:04:49,530
Full-fledged shinobi…
36
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,190
I…I…
37
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,070
Fire Style!
38
00:04:58,110 --> 00:04:59,570
Burning Ash!
39
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:01,070
Ino, Choji!
40
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:04,900
Choza!
41
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:11,440
Old Man!
42
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,360
That's right…
43
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,400
The story about the King…
44
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,280
I'll tell you who the King is.
45
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,610
Lend me your ear.
46
00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:32,320
The children who will be taking over
the future Hidden Leaf Village…
47
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,570
They are the King.
48
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:43,190
Kurenai is pregnant with our child.
49
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:52,400
I entrust…my "King" to all of you.
50
00:05:56,610 --> 00:05:58,610
Choji!! Snap out of it!
51
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:01,860
We're not brats who need
to be protected!
52
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:03,820
We're the ones doing the protecting!
53
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:06,530
Would you let Asuma kill
his own child?!
54
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Your idea of kindness is wrong here!
55
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:15,440
Shikamaru is right!
56
00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:18,360
Why do you think you
have that piercing?
57
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:20,280
Quit pouting, Choji!
58
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:24,530
You're the 16th head
of the Akimichi Clan!
59
00:06:25,570 --> 00:06:27,570
Akimichi Clan…
60
00:06:32,690 --> 00:06:34,690
Um…um…
61
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:37,320
Of those three symbols,
62
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,530
the one of the right belongs
to the Akimichi Clan, right?
63
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:42,480
The rest are…um…
64
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:44,980
The one in the middle signifies
the Nara Clan.
65
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:47,190
The one on the left is
the Yamanaka Clan.
66
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,610
Three clans that use highly unusual
Secret Ninjutsu.
67
00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:55,110
We've been combining
our powers for many generations
68
00:06:55,150 --> 00:06:57,190
and the three clans share
a special relationship.
69
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,150
To strengthen unity and
protect our clans,
70
00:07:02,190 --> 00:07:05,400
the authoritative Sarutobi Clan
bestows ear piercings
71
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,530
upon all three of our clans.
72
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:11,400
Generation upon generation
has sworn the oath of loyalty
73
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,400
on these earrings.
74
00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:16,230
This is it, right?
75
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,440
The other clan heads wear one too.
76
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:21,110
Piercing your ear must hurt though.
77
00:07:22,110 --> 00:07:25,650
The ear is pierced, so that
the message goes deep down.
78
00:07:25,690 --> 00:07:27,530
So that one never forgets the oath.
79
00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:31,360
In time, you will pierce your ear too.
80
00:07:31,570 --> 00:07:33,530
What?! Why?
81
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:36,320
When a child becomes a genin,
82
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,480
it is customary for the parent to
pass on his earring to the child
83
00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:41,400
until he attains chunin rank.
84
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,440
It's a practice to teach
one's child about one's oaths!
85
00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:49,320
I don't like pain.
86
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:07,860
Choji…
87
00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:39,300
I wonder if he's going to be okay…
88
00:08:42,470 --> 00:08:44,010
He's a coward.
89
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:49,260
He finally became a genin,
but he doesn't like confrontation.
90
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,010
He'll soon go out on missions
91
00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:56,800
and may have to face foes
in life-or-death battles.
92
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:58,880
As it is…
93
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:03,180
As it is, Choji will be killed because
he was too scared to make a move.
94
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:07,550
I doubt if he'll ever become a chunin.
95
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:12,510
Your son is not a coward.
He's just kind.
96
00:09:13,010 --> 00:09:15,470
In the shinobi world,
it's the same thing.
97
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,970
Then let him be kind.
98
00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:21,300
"Be kind"?
99
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:25,300
Yes. His kindness is a unique weapon
100
00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:28,300
which he, and only he, possesses.
101
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:30,630
Weapon…
102
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:32,840
He's just a boy.
103
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,510
It can't be helped if it's viewed
as cowardice.
104
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,760
But some day, his kindness will
be a thing of greatness.
105
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:44,550
The time will come when
the Hidden Leaf will need his kindness.
106
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:49,300
However, he will require strength
that rivals his kindness.
107
00:09:50,130 --> 00:09:52,880
He needs the intensity to
recognize others' pain,
108
00:09:52,930 --> 00:09:55,180
to feel and accept their pain…
109
00:09:55,380 --> 00:09:59,430
Or reject it…but still envelope them
in kindness.
110
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,720
That boy has those qualities.
111
00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:04,340
Asuma…
112
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,970
Choji will experience many things.
113
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:13,510
This is the shinobi world,
the hardships will be many.
114
00:10:14,050 --> 00:10:17,970
But with each experience,
he will grow stronger and kinder.
115
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:32,050
Choza! Please come quickly!
116
00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:33,970
Sorry, I'll be right there!
117
00:10:36,050 --> 00:10:38,760
If you are truly kind…
118
00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:42,340
there is no other time like now.
119
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Or are you merely a coward?
120
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:50,510
Choji! It's all right!
121
00:11:25,930 --> 00:11:27,510
You are kind.
122
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:33,340
But must this butterfly learn to live…
by borrowing strength from you?
123
00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:59,840
From today on,
you are an adult.
124
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,050
You will have a new piercing
upon which you make your vow…
125
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:06,470
and it will be your turn
to nurture your own child
126
00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:08,300
and pass on that earring.
127
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,970
What is it?
128
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:16,180
Do you think…
I can really get married?
129
00:12:16,220 --> 00:12:19,300
What kind of look is that, Choji?!
130
00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:21,880
You know what it is, right?
131
00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:24,180
When Asuma always tells you
that you lack something.
132
00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:26,930
Even I was able to get married.
133
00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:28,720
Have more confidence in yourself!
134
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:32,880
But I might not be as lucky as you.
135
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,300
Times are different…
136
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:37,340
And it's hard to find girls
who are interested.
137
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:40,840
Choji, the time has come
to make your oath!
138
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:43,340
You know the words, don't you?
139
00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:45,800
Uh-huh…
140
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:52,300
Human Boulder!
141
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:05,380
I won't hand over
this last bite to anyone!
142
00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:09,880
With an appetite like that,
143
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:12,300
there's no need to
worry about your body.
144
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,720
After I finish eating,
can you help me train, Asuma Sensei?!
145
00:13:20,430 --> 00:13:27,550
Lastly, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru…
146
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,470
There's something I want to say.
147
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,180
Choji…
148
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,380
You are kind and considerate
of your comrades.
149
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,340
That is why you will be stronger
than any other shinobi.
150
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:49,430
Have more confidence in yourself.
151
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,010
Okay.
152
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:55,260
And…you should diet a little.
153
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,550
I don't know if it'll work,
but I'll try my best.
154
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:07,340
I just thought that
I'd change naturally.
155
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,380
I thought both my heart and body
would get stronger when I got older.
156
00:14:16,430 --> 00:14:19,050
So the war's about to begin.
157
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,840
We have to fight dead people?
158
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:26,340
What do I do? I'm getting scared.
159
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,430
Hey Choji…
160
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:31,300
It's too late to whine,
now that you're here.
161
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:33,630
U-Uh-huh…
162
00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:37,340
I feel a little scared.
163
00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:38,630
Hey, you guys…
164
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,970
Don't chicken out on me.
165
00:14:44,180 --> 00:14:47,590
This is too much for me!
166
00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:51,300
I can't take our Sensei down!
167
00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:53,340
Now, Choji!
168
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:56,220
I know you are kind.
169
00:14:57,220 --> 00:15:00,470
But right now,
taking me down is kindness!
170
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:04,550
This is the time to transform
your kindness into strength!
171
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:06,590
This is the time, Choji!
172
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:11,760
I thought that oath was
just part of a ritual.
173
00:15:13,930 --> 00:15:17,470
I hereby swear as the 16th head
of the Akimichi Clan,
174
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:21,880
I shall pass on this oath entrusted
to me by the 15th head,
175
00:15:23,010 --> 00:15:27,340
unto the 17th.
To my child that is to be!
176
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,630
Sorry, Ino.
177
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:48,380
I'm okay now.
You can switch back.
178
00:15:51,470 --> 00:15:56,430
In order to protect the Yamanaka
and Nara Clan,
179
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:58,930
and the Hidden Leaf Village…
180
00:15:58,970 --> 00:16:01,220
I, Choji Akimichi, swear to
transform from a caterpillar…
181
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:02,930
Into a butterfly, and take flight!
182
00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:06,550
Choji!
183
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760
It's time to change!
184
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:16,380
So you grew wings, Choji…
185
00:16:16,430 --> 00:16:17,930
without using your pills!
186
00:16:21,970 --> 00:16:23,010
Choji!
187
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,510
That's my boy, Choji.
188
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:29,300
Yes! That's the look!
189
00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:33,630
Choji's skinnier!
190
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:37,430
Did he take that pill
he took long ago?
191
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,130
This looks like the effects
of the Chili Pepper Pill.
192
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:42,340
Will he be all right?
193
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,970
He'll be fine!
194
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:47,930
He didn't use the Akimichi Clan's
Secret Calorie Control Technique.
195
00:16:47,970 --> 00:16:49,630
He transformed on his own.
196
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,880
In other words, he'll have
no side effects from the pill.
197
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:57,130
Was the shell of the chrysalis harder
than you thought, Choji?
198
00:16:58,510 --> 00:17:00,840
Well, you can fly now, right?
199
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,050
Oh yeah!
200
00:17:15,430 --> 00:17:17,090
I'm going up!
201
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,930
Old man Choza!
202
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,300
I'm sorry Choji's been
such trouble!
203
00:17:23,050 --> 00:17:25,300
But that's all over.
204
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:31,680
He is now worthy of being
the 16th head of the Akimichi Clan.
205
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:36,970
We'll deal with Asuma!
206
00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:39,090
Please take care of the rest, old man!
207
00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:47,510
Come get me!
208
00:17:48,090 --> 00:17:50,470
When you've weakened him,
send him over to us!
209
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:53,260
You sure can bark out orders.
210
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,010
We should go and help.
211
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:56,510
Shut up!
212
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:58,800
That's the Sealing Corps!
213
00:17:59,130 --> 00:18:00,300
Like it's that simple!
214
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:04,380
Shikamaru! Your back!
215
00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:05,260
Right!
216
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:06,300
Go, Ino!
217
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Mind Transfer Clone Jutsu!
218
00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:22,590
I'm up next!
219
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:24,130
Shadow Stitching Jutsu!
220
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,010
There's no way to counter this.
221
00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:34,300
Nice work, Choji!
222
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,970
Choji… That's the look.
223
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:48,380
As long as you have that look,
224
00:18:48,430 --> 00:18:50,880
you will be stronger than
any shinobi out there.
225
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Right now,
you have the expression
226
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,590
of someone who has all
the confidence he needs!
227
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:00,510
Choji!
228
00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:11,880
To beat me with the memento
I left you…
229
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:14,300
I can't move because
I'm filled with emotion.
230
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:16,970
I call it my Shadow Possession
Shuriken Jutsu.
231
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,010
That's why you can't move.
232
00:19:19,220 --> 00:19:20,050
All right!
233
00:19:20,090 --> 00:19:22,300
Leave the rest to us,
the Sealing Corps!
234
00:19:23,130 --> 00:19:25,050
Can you wait a bit?
235
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:26,380
What?!
236
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,050
We already heard your last words.
237
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,470
Hearing them a second time
won't have the same impact.
238
00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:38,630
Then let me add one thing
I couldn't tell you the last time.
239
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:44,630
I have nothing more to say
to you three…
240
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:49,180
because your Ino-Shika-Cho
formation is complete.
241
00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:59,260
Sensei…
242
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:02,800
Asuma…
243
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,590
Asuma Sensei…
244
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:09,130
– Thank you.
– Thank you.
245
00:20:31,550 --> 00:20:32,930
What is that?!
246
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,050
I'm ending this battle now!
247
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:51,510
So help me out, Shikamaru! Ino!
248
00:20:51,970 --> 00:20:53,260
All right!
249
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:56,470
Choji, I've been with you
for a long time…
250
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,680
but I've never seen you
take charge!
251
00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:40,470
Naruto, I'm sorry
but I cannot let you pass.
252
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:44,630
This many guards?
Why are you watching me?
253
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,430
Enough! Just go back inside.
I'll tell you there.
254
00:22:47,470 --> 00:22:51,010
Why can't you tell me outside?
Why can't I go outside?
255
00:22:51,050 --> 00:22:51,880
Naruto!
256
00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:55,430
Why are you here?
257
00:22:56,510 --> 00:23:00,220
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"A Message from the Heart"
258
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,220
Why? Tell me why?
A MESSAGE
FROM THE HEART
259
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:04,930
A MESSAGE
FROM THE HEART
260
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:08,340
Tune in again!
