1
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:34,650
A Father's Hope,
A Mother's Love
2
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:44,280
You're no longer a Jinchuriki?!
3
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,360
What do you mean?
4
00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:51,440
The ones that are controlling you
extracted the Shukaku from me.
5
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,320
That killed me once.
6
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:06,030
Sealing Jutsu!
Nine Phantom Dragons!
7
00:02:21,070 --> 00:02:22,440
Just what…
8
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,940
am I?
9
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:38,320
But thanks to Chiyo and my friends,
here I am, alive.
10
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,570
Granny Chiyo… She did that?!
11
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:44,690
And friends?
12
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,570
You have friends?!
13
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,400
The things I did in the past
were nothing but mistakes.
14
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:04,070
But in my last hour,
15
00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:07,110
it seems I'm finally able
to do the right thing.
16
00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:10,780
The Village of the Sand and
17
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,980
the Leaf Village…
18
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:17,780
The future is likely to be different
19
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:20,730
from the way things were
in our time.
20
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:27,070
Gaara…
21
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:29,150
Gaara!
22
00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:34,980
Naruto…
23
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,530
This is…?
24
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:50,530
Everyone came to help you.
25
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:58,940
You thought he'd have no friends?
26
00:03:59,110 --> 00:04:02,230
Man, he must've been
some lonely kid, huh?
27
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,860
At that age,
everyone has friends.
28
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,650
Father, you tried to kill me
six times.
29
00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:11,940
And each time,
my fear and hatred of you grew.
30
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,980
But I no longer hate you.
31
00:04:16,730 --> 00:04:19,610
I can understand
why you did it.
32
00:04:21,820 --> 00:04:24,530
I am the Kazekage now.
33
00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:28,030
It is a leader's duty to eliminate
threats against one's village.
34
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:29,530
We must protect it.
35
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:34,530
You are…the Kazekage?
36
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,480
That's not all.
37
00:04:36,940 --> 00:04:39,030
He is also
the Commander-in-Chief of
38
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:41,440
the Allied Shinobi Forces'
Main Battle Regiment.
39
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:44,570
Despite his age,
he not only calls himself Kage,
40
00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:47,400
he has the respect of
all the other Kage as well.
41
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:49,320
No wonder…
42
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:52,400
I thought it was odd
I sensed chakra types
43
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,730
from various villages mixed together.
44
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,610
Imagine that, shinobi
forming an alliance.
45
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Not having eyebrows makes
a face more charismatic…
46
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:06,400
Oh hey,
I don't have eyebrows either.
47
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:09,570
Then what about that wisp
of a moustache, Mizukage?
48
00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:15,190
Guys, if you're going to kill us,
start with the mummy here!
49
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,610
I'll be more than happy
to root for you.
50
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,360
He's your son, huh.
51
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,980
He's a fine shinobi.
52
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,400
He's small…
So he was premature?
53
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:35,070
Are you sure he'll be all right?
54
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:37,480
He's adapting.
55
00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:41,980
At last, with the third child,
we know he's compatible.
56
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,480
This child must be brought up
with great care.
57
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:50,230
Please let me see…
my child's face.
58
00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:52,190
Are you all right, Karura?!
59
00:05:55,650 --> 00:05:57,900
He's…so tiny.
60
00:05:59,650 --> 00:06:02,320
Lady Karura's heart rate
is dropping.
61
00:06:02,980 --> 00:06:04,400
Do something! Quick!
62
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,570
This child is a failure as well.
63
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,610
The rampages have begun.
64
00:06:46,570 --> 00:06:49,230
If we can't maintain
our defenses further
65
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:52,400
the Sand will be weakened
beyond repair.
66
00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:56,150
We need to figure out how
we can negotiate with other lands,
67
00:06:56,190 --> 00:06:58,440
and we have to do something
about the Shukaku.
68
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:01,400
As long as the Jinchuriki is unreliable,
69
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,320
we must rely on Lord Kazekage's
development of new jutsu,
70
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,440
and in our gold dust trade
for village stability.
71
00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:10,480
As for Gaara…
72
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,110
Yashamaru, I need to speak
to you later.
73
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:15,360
Yes…
74
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:22,110
But Lord Gaara is still a child…
75
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:26,780
Over the years, I've had to judge
the value of many things.
76
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,650
And I must test his worth too.
77
00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:34,440
We will assess Gaara tomorrow.
78
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:38,440
After the village has been evacuated,
corner Gaara.
79
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,610
Tell him about his mother,
and provoke him emotionally.
80
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:47,360
If he doesn't go berserk,
I won't kill him.
81
00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:48,610
About my sister?!
82
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Are you sure about this?
83
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,320
I know that he loves and
respects Karura with all his heart.
84
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:04,150
If that is taken away from him,
and if he can still suppress his rage…
85
00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:06,360
then and only then,
will he suffice as a Jinchuriki!
86
00:08:26,730 --> 00:08:27,900
What?
87
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,070
Why me…?!
88
00:08:32,570 --> 00:08:34,190
Why only me?!
89
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:49,940
Who is it?
90
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:51,440
Why?
91
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360
I must hand it to you, Lord Gaara.
92
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:07,320
Yashamaru…!
93
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,070
Why? Why?
94
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:21,860
Why you…Yashamaru?
95
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:23,530
Why?
96
00:09:26,570 --> 00:09:27,570
It was an order.
97
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:32,110
I was ordered to kill you.
98
00:09:33,610 --> 00:09:37,280
By your father…the Kazekage.
99
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:39,530
Father?
100
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,570
Why does Father want me dead?
101
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:54,570
Lord Gaara, before you were born,
102
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:57,400
the Shukaku of the Sand
was placed inside you.
103
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,530
And you were nurtured carefully
because of that experiment.
104
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:05,860
However, you are unable
to control the power
105
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:10,440
of the vengeful Spirit of the Sand,
the Shukaku.
106
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,530
Thus, you pose a threat to the village.
107
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:17,570
Before any more damage is done…
108
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:19,570
So you had no choice,
109
00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:22,320
but to go along with
Father's orders, Yashamaru?
110
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,320
No, that's not so.
111
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:29,320
It's true, I was ordered
by Lord Kazekage.
112
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:34,400
However, I could have refused
if I chose to do so.
113
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,110
Lord Gaara…
114
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:42,820
Deep down, I'm sure I resented you.
115
00:10:44,070 --> 00:10:49,280
You…who stole my dear older sister's life
when you were born.
116
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,480
You were my late sister's legacy.
117
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:59,400
So I desperately tried to love you.
118
00:11:00,150 --> 00:11:02,480
But I couldn't.
119
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,150
My sister never wanted you.
120
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,030
She was sacrificed for the village,
121
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:13,610
and she died cursing it.
122
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:21,570
My heart has borne the wounds
of that moment,
123
00:11:21,610 --> 00:11:23,940
and it has never healed.
124
00:11:25,530 --> 00:11:29,610
My sister gave you that name.
125
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,070
Her words were…
126
00:11:32,110 --> 00:11:35,530
"This child will be known as Gaara,
a demon that loves only itself."
127
00:11:35,570 --> 00:11:40,610
"Love only yourself and
fight only for yourself."
128
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:44,980
"Then you will continue to exist."
129
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:47,400
That was her wish.
130
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:54,780
But she didn't name you
out of love or concern.
131
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,360
She gave you that name hoping
that you would survive.
132
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,070
She died resenting and
cursing this world,
133
00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:06,400
leaving you as reminder.
134
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,780
So that the world would
remember her hatred.
135
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,900
You were never loved.
136
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,730
It's a failure, after all.
137
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,530
Gaara is a failed experiment.
138
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:51,650
This Reanimation Jutsu may have
some merit, after all.
139
00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:59,400
Let me see what
you may be worth!
140
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,110
Can you defeat me?!
141
00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:05,110
Ohnoki… Stop me.
142
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:08,780
Against my Particle Style,
the number of opponents means nothing.
143
00:13:09,570 --> 00:13:11,440
Only you can stop me.
144
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,730
I'm aware of that.
145
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,480
Also, you remember what
to do with allies
146
00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:18,480
after a victory, don't you?
147
00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:21,440
Once the fighting ends,
so is the alliance.
148
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,440
There will be a scramble
for the spoils of war.
149
00:13:23,650 --> 00:13:27,030
That is what truly decides
which village is the victor.
150
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Hey, Tsuchikage, quit playing dirty!
151
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,610
I won't let that happen.
152
00:13:31,980 --> 00:13:35,820
I have no intentions of doing
such a thing, Lord Mu.
153
00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:38,610
I see…
154
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:42,440
I guess you didn't turn into
a stubborn old geezer.
155
00:13:43,530 --> 00:13:45,030
I wouldn't be too sure.
156
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,610
In any case, we have no control
over our movements.
157
00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:53,400
Our bodies are set to automatically
counter the enemy's jutsu.
158
00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:56,400
So hurry and kill us, and send us
back to the netherworld.
159
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,780
We will tell you what
our weaknesses and powers are.
160
00:13:59,150 --> 00:14:01,570
You just have to stop our actions!
161
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:03,820
It's not going to be easy.
162
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,190
Everyone, go!
163
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:22,400
Let's go!
164
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,440
– Right!
– Right!
165
00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:34,530
Sand Hail!
166
00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:46,280
Damn it!
167
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,530
Sand Hail is just a diversion.
168
00:14:48,570 --> 00:14:51,150
He used it to force me to
lift the Gold Dust!
169
00:15:04,690 --> 00:15:08,570
Karura… You still live on
inside this child…
170
00:15:09,530 --> 00:15:11,400
That really is our old man…
171
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,400
You've grown, Gaara.
172
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:20,570
All a parent needs to do is
to believe in their children.
173
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:24,730
Just that little bit is
the most valuable treasure.
174
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:29,530
Isn't that right, Karura?
175
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:36,030
It seems I didn't possess the ability
to see the true value of things…
176
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:38,570
What do you mean?
177
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400
No matter when or what,
the Sand will always protect you.
178
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,480
That's not the Shukaku's power.
179
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,400
But it's your mother's…Karura's.
180
00:15:52,190 --> 00:15:54,610
He's so tiny.
181
00:15:57,150 --> 00:16:02,150
No matter what happens,
I will always protect you, Gaara.
182
00:16:04,570 --> 00:16:06,400
Your mother loved you!
183
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:17,150
Mother…loved me?
184
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:23,690
But that day when Yashamaru
came after me, he said…
185
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,940
You were never…loved.
186
00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:33,440
I ordered Yashamaru to lie to you.
187
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:35,400
In order to provoke you,
188
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,150
and to test the volatility of
the Tailed Beast inside you…
189
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:40,440
For the sake of the village.
190
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:44,860
If there was anyone
Yashamaru hated…
191
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:46,570
it would be me, not you.
192
00:16:47,530 --> 00:16:50,610
I'm the one who sealed
the Shukaku of the Sand
193
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:53,730
into his pregnant older sister.
194
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,570
But Yashamaru was also a shinobi.
195
00:16:57,610 --> 00:17:01,150
He was my right-hand man and
a member of the Sand Black Ops.
196
00:17:01,190 --> 00:17:04,900
So he did as he was ordered,
for the sake of the village.
197
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,030
I failed.
198
00:17:09,610 --> 00:17:12,940
It seems I failed
in everything I did.
199
00:17:13,780 --> 00:17:17,190
I burdened you unnecessarily,
200
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:21,780
and arbitrarily decided that
you weren't worth anything.
201
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:26,400
I took away your future
by turning you into the Jinchuriki
202
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,280
and I took your mother away
from you.
203
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,690
I robbed you of your love
for your mother.
204
00:17:30,780 --> 00:17:33,360
I took away the bonds you had
with people.
205
00:17:33,730 --> 00:17:35,610
And I even tried to take your life.
206
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,320
As a parent…
207
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,440
there is only one thing
that I gave you.
208
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,110
I gave you a broken heart.
209
00:17:49,570 --> 00:17:51,480
It's not bleeding.
210
00:17:52,730 --> 00:17:55,480
But it really hurts right
around here.
211
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:07,230
Physical wounds will definitely bleed
and may look painful.
212
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:11,400
But over time,
they heal by themselves.
213
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,940
And if you apply medicine,
they will heal faster.
214
00:18:15,150 --> 00:18:17,860
What's troublesome are
wounds of the heart.
215
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:20,230
Nothing is harder to heal.
216
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:22,440
Wounds of the heart?
217
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:26,480
They're a bit different
from physical injuries.
218
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:30,030
You can't apply medicine,
for one thing.
219
00:18:30,530 --> 00:18:32,980
And sometimes, they never heal.
220
00:18:33,940 --> 00:18:37,900
There's only one cure for
a wound of the heart.
221
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,190
It's a bit bothersome and
222
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:44,730
you can only receive it
from someone else.
223
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,480
What is it?
224
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:52,360
It's love.
225
00:18:52,730 --> 00:18:54,820
– Love?
– Yes.
226
00:18:55,940 --> 00:18:57,650
How do I get it?
227
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,360
You've already received it,
Lord Gaara.
228
00:19:05,730 --> 00:19:06,900
Mother…
229
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,530
I believe your mother
loved you immensely.
230
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,570
Essentially, Shukaku of the Sand is
a wraith to be used for offensive assaults.
231
00:19:16,570 --> 00:19:20,440
But when the Sand instinctively
acts to protect you…
232
00:19:20,690 --> 00:19:22,860
That is your mother's love.
233
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,940
I believe your mother's will
has seeped into the Sand.
234
00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:39,610
My sister…even in death…
wanted to protect you, Lord Gaara.
235
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,480
Karura…
236
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,070
Mothers are powerful.
237
00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:03,440
She's dead, but she believed
in you and still protects you.
238
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,440
She's the one who has
brought you this far.
239
00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:10,570
She gave you life, so that
you would become the Kazekage.
240
00:20:10,610 --> 00:20:12,070
She gave you friends.
241
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:15,030
She gave you the bonds with
your siblings and community.
242
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:17,570
All things that I took away from you.
243
00:20:19,570 --> 00:20:23,150
All I did as your father was
to torment you.
244
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:27,230
I don't deserve to be called
your father.
245
00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:32,480
My mother was wonderful indeed.
246
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:39,360
Thanks to her, for the first time,
I received medicine from my father.
247
00:20:40,570 --> 00:20:43,230
Gaara… You…
248
00:20:44,570 --> 00:20:46,650
SEAL
249
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:52,650
You surpassed me long ago.
250
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:57,030
I leave the village to you, Gaara!
251
00:22:36,690 --> 00:22:38,780
Itachi Uchiha and Nagato?!
252
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:40,530
You know these guys, Naruto?
253
00:22:40,570 --> 00:22:42,280
Yeah! Both of them!
254
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,360
Never would I have thought
I'd have to battle you again, Naruto!
255
00:22:47,730 --> 00:22:50,400
You now command
the Power of the Nine Tails?
256
00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:53,190
I'm impressed with your development!
257
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:58,860
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Contact! Naruto vs. Itachi"
258
00:22:59,730 --> 00:23:02,400
Naruto, I must ask you…
259
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,940
CONTACT!
NARUTO VS. ITACHI
260
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,480
