1
00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:35,910
The Soul Living
Inside the Puppet
2
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,740
Retreat… Retreat!
3
00:02:30,870 --> 00:02:33,870
The Chakra Threads of world-class
Puppet Masters can control humans
4
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:36,240
as well as their puppets.
5
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,740
But once the Chakra Thread is cut,
there's no harm to the human.
6
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:43,370
I'm indebted to you.
7
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200
I was about to slay an ally.
8
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,700
There's a special way to fight
between Puppet Users.
9
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:54,200
And I'm the only one here
who can do this…
10
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,740
Right, Granny Chiyo?!
11
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:59,160
Kankuro…
12
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Sasori…
13
00:03:10,530 --> 00:03:14,080
I erred in everything I did…
14
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:16,910
But after meeting Naruto,
15
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:19,580
I was able to do
the right thing in the end.
16
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:21,830
I thought I died,
17
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:24,200
leaving some hope
for a bright future.
18
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:26,280
But…
19
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:29,080
As I stand before you,
20
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,620
I can't help
but regret the past… Sasori…
21
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:47,990
When are mother and father
coming back?
22
00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:54,330
Well, they'll be gone a little bit longer…
23
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:57,080
I see…
24
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:10,990
I couldn't bring myself
to tell him the truth…
25
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:17,160
Sasori was too young to know
about his parents' deaths…
26
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,370
Sasori…
27
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:20,660
Sasori had already figured out,
that his parents were dead.
28
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:32,740
Sasori! How've you been?
29
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:33,660
Huh?
30
00:05:38,030 --> 00:05:42,280
Granny Chiyo said
your last puppet was a huge hit.
31
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:45,080
Some day, I want to be
a shinobi like you,
32
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,740
where everyone praises my puppets…
33
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:51,620
Hey! Are you listening?!
34
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Hey, it's me!
35
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:56,450
Komushi has come
to see you!
36
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Hey! Answer me!
37
00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:14,330
H-Hey, I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry.
38
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,200
But you're treating me worse
than a puppet.
39
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,330
Oh well, I might as well wait
until hell freezes over
40
00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:25,200
to get a response from you.
41
00:06:27,330 --> 00:06:29,200
I have a message from Granny Chiyo.
42
00:06:29,870 --> 00:06:31,700
She wants the puppets
she ordered sooner…
43
00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:34,410
The Crow, Black Ant and Salamander…
44
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:35,280
Oh…
45
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,910
Everything she requested is done.
46
00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:43,410
Oh, so these are your new creations.
47
00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:44,740
Man, that was quick…
48
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:46,410
I don't like to keep people waiting.
49
00:06:47,370 --> 00:06:49,240
Yeah… That's true.
50
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,580
Hey… That's amazing.
51
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,830
They look so human!
52
00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:14,700
Oh, I almost forgot.
53
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:17,240
About your new creation…
54
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,620
She asked me to inquire about
the poison for the Crow puppet.
55
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,030
Huh?
56
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:30,330
These are all rare medicinal plants!
57
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,080
You're gonna make
a mixture out of these?
58
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:37,870
This is going to require permission.
59
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,280
All right!
60
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:42,330
I, Komushi, will negotiate this!
So give me some time.
61
00:07:42,370 --> 00:07:43,780
I don't want to wait.
62
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,410
I guess not. Then let's go!
63
00:07:55,740 --> 00:07:56,700
It's me, Komushi!
64
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:58,700
What is it?
65
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160
Oh… Did you relay my message…?
66
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,780
Granny Chiyo, Sasori has a request.
67
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,080
What is it?
68
00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:19,030
There's not much I can say
69
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,990
without knowing the blending ratio
of the mixture.
70
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:32,950
But since this is coming from you,
I have no issues with it.
71
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,830
I'll clear it with
the Pharmaceuticals Division.
72
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:40,280
I'm in the middle of research,
so you may leave.
73
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:44,450
Man, you've got it made, Sasori.
74
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:47,780
You're still young, but you're already
contributing to the village.
75
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:50,740
Granny Chiyo must be
so proud of you.
76
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,240
Are you listening to me?
77
00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:58,120
Granny Chiyo is always
worried about you.
78
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:02,030
I can't wait to be acknowledged
as a full-fledged shinobi…
79
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,780
just like your puppets!
80
00:09:05,330 --> 00:09:08,370
My own parents still treat me
like a kid!
81
00:09:08,830 --> 00:09:10,950
They tell me I'm not suited
to being a shinobi…
82
00:09:11,370 --> 00:09:14,450
But this time,
I was assigned to border security.
83
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,030
It's just guard duty,
but if I can prove myself…
84
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,990
Komushi!
85
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,330
What have you been doing
at this hour?!
86
00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:22,620
I was so worried!
87
00:09:22,780 --> 00:09:24,950
Wait… Cut it out,
you're embarrassing me!
88
00:09:24,990 --> 00:09:26,990
I'm going to be assigned border
security missions from now on…
89
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:29,280
You can turn down things
like missions!
90
00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:31,580
I'll take care of you
for the rest of my life.
91
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,200
I want you to stop it!
92
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,370
Thanks, Sasori!
93
00:09:45,330 --> 00:09:48,830
I heard that you were injured on duty?
94
00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:50,870
I messed up.
95
00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:52,240
But…
96
00:09:53,830 --> 00:09:56,330
That's…a puppet arm!
97
00:09:56,910 --> 00:09:58,450
That's not all!
98
00:10:02,030 --> 00:10:03,950
I feel stronger than before.
99
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:07,080
And it fits perfectly.
100
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:10,410
It feels like it's always been
a part of my body.
101
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:28,330
How could you ingest
your own poison?!
102
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,370
Granny Chiyo…
103
00:10:31,620 --> 00:10:34,370
He's… He's not to blame.
104
00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:38,240
I'm the one…who messed up…
105
00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:42,080
Where is Sasori?!
106
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,280
Do we have the blending ratio
of the poison yet?
107
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,580
Please heal him…
108
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,580
Please heal him…
109
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,660
Heal him! Please!
110
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:02,990
You attached his right arm too, right?
111
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:05,080
Then his left arm can be…
112
00:11:06,450 --> 00:11:08,450
His legs, his body…
113
00:11:08,490 --> 00:11:11,200
You can even heal his soul, can't you?!
114
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:13,160
Give him back to me!
115
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Heal my Komushi and
give him back to me!
116
00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:23,530
It was a painful accident.
117
00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:27,620
Komushi was my link to Sasori…
118
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,410
Not only that…
119
00:11:29,950 --> 00:11:34,330
He was Sasori's only friend.
120
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:38,910
How has Sasori been lately?
121
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,080
The same as usual.
122
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:44,370
He's been working on
small puppet parts recently.
123
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:47,240
And they look like
real human hands…
124
00:11:50,490 --> 00:11:52,580
Huh? What?
125
00:11:52,950 --> 00:11:55,740
Impossible. It has to be a coincidence…
126
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:57,990
But something is…
127
00:12:03,450 --> 00:12:06,240
I hope my fears are ungrounded!
128
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:16,530
I don't like to make people wait.
129
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,780
From what I can see,
130
00:12:18,830 --> 00:12:21,280
I thought there'd be
a little more progress.
131
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:24,160
Sasori! What are you doing?!
132
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,990
You barely got it to
the standard size…
133
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Sasori!
134
00:12:36,620 --> 00:12:38,280
It's Komushi?!
135
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:03,030
As requested…
136
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:05,240
The model is finished.
137
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:21,240
I wasn't able to be at his side
when he was suffering the most.
138
00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:24,370
When he desperately needed love…
139
00:13:24,950 --> 00:13:29,280
No, I made excuses and
distanced myself from him.
140
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:32,950
I'm the one who distorted him.
141
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:33,950
I'm sorry…
142
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,080
Much good it does at this point…
143
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,830
An apology from a reanimated corpse
to the puppet that you are now!
144
00:14:05,850 --> 00:14:08,140
Your technique is as sharp as ever.
145
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:10,350
But you don't have any fighting spirit!
146
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,310
I guess Puppet Masters aren't good
at being a puppet, eh?
147
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:18,100
Inexperienced ones shouldn't act
as if they know….
148
00:14:18,810 --> 00:14:22,020
Don't make light of
the Reanimation Jutsu.
149
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,430
If the user of the jutsu gets serious…
150
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:28,980
Oh, speak of the devil!
151
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:38,680
Reverse Secret White Technique…
152
00:14:38,730 --> 00:14:40,890
Esematsu's Ten Puppets!
153
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,350
What?!
154
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:57,180
Wires?
155
00:14:59,980 --> 00:15:01,060
Wha—?!
156
00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:17,810
Sasori…as well as
Sasori's Mother and Father…
157
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,850
I recovered and repaired them.
158
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:38,270
Sasori told me…
159
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:42,350
that he was a human
who wasn't able to become a puppet.
160
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:46,680
An incomplete puppet with
a core that was living flesh…
161
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,180
Do you think he wanted to
be closer to his parents
162
00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:52,020
who had become puppets?
163
00:15:52,890 --> 00:15:55,310
How could anyone want to
become a puppet without a soul?
164
00:15:57,390 --> 00:15:58,520
Possibly…
165
00:16:00,930 --> 00:16:02,060
But you know…
166
00:16:02,140 --> 00:16:05,520
I can sense the souls of
Sasori's mother and father
167
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,140
inside these puppets.
168
00:16:07,930 --> 00:16:10,390
I'd like to believe that
Sasori felt it as well.
169
00:16:13,310 --> 00:16:15,480
Granny Chiyo said…
170
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,810
that Sasori was able to see
his mother and father's final attack.
171
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,680
But for some reason,
he didn't counter it.
172
00:16:24,390 --> 00:16:27,230
Yeah… It must've reached him.
173
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:30,890
The cry of his parents' souls.
174
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:34,230
I admit I'm inexperienced.
175
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:37,600
But I'm not so ignorant
that I couldn't feel
176
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,060
your regret and sadness
through your Chakra Threads.
177
00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:45,060
You say the first thing
that pops up in your mind!
178
00:16:45,140 --> 00:16:47,140
That's why you're inexperienced!
179
00:16:47,890 --> 00:16:51,180
There are things one wants
to atone for, but can't.
180
00:16:51,230 --> 00:16:53,230
Besides, I'm a corpse.
181
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,430
There's nothing I can do!
182
00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:59,060
Sasori entrusted me…
183
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:05,310
I entrust you with the Father
and Mother puppets.
184
00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:09,060
Sasori entrusted you…?!
185
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,980
Puppets that only Sasori could create.
186
00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:16,350
Their workings are so delicate…
all the way down to the fingertips.
187
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,350
So he shares a love and
passion for puppets,
188
00:17:21,390 --> 00:17:23,310
just like Sasori did?
189
00:17:24,310 --> 00:17:26,890
Sasori's soul dwells in
these two puppets!
190
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,310
And his love instilled the souls
of his parents in them too!
191
00:17:34,730 --> 00:17:37,600
Sasori, at least, was able to feel it.
192
00:17:38,270 --> 00:17:40,180
Puppets with souls?!
193
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:42,310
That's not all, Granny Chiyo…
194
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:45,810
The love you gave to
his Father and Mother puppets
195
00:17:45,850 --> 00:17:48,180
became a part of their souls.
196
00:17:48,430 --> 00:17:49,310
Huh?
197
00:17:49,810 --> 00:17:51,390
Sasori was aware of that.
198
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:54,480
And he gave them all to me…
199
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:57,100
Rather, he entrusted them to me
200
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:58,480
for future generations
of the shinobi world.
201
00:17:59,270 --> 00:18:03,140
Passing it on is our duty too.
202
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,310
Sasori did that…?
203
00:18:05,810 --> 00:18:09,560
Sure, I'm inexperienced and
in your eyes, a stranger.
204
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,600
But my kid brother…
205
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,140
Gaara received your soul
and came back to life.
206
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,140
So I'm not a stranger at all.
207
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:20,310
And I can sense it through
the Chakra Threads.
208
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:22,600
Sasori and his mother and father…
209
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:24,270
The family's thoughts, their love…
210
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:26,310
Their souls are saying…
211
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:29,230
"Please stop Granny Chiyo!"
212
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:35,270
Family…
213
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,770
Mother!
214
00:18:37,060 --> 00:18:40,930
It's only a family portrait.
Don't be so stubborn.
215
00:18:41,230 --> 00:18:44,430
You fool! The meaning of
the word "shinobi" is to be stealthy!
216
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,140
I will not take a photo,
to be put up as decoration…
217
00:18:47,180 --> 00:18:52,230
and have people say,
"Oh, what a fine photo" at parties!
218
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:54,560
W-We wouldn't go that far…
219
00:18:54,730 --> 00:18:56,480
Of course, you will!
220
00:18:57,230 --> 00:18:58,480
Granny Chiyo…
221
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:01,230
Don't you want to take
a photo with us?
222
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:09,020
No… It's not that.
223
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:11,640
What are we going to do with you?
224
00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:16,060
Oh, what are you doing?
225
00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:25,270
– Oh!
– Hey!
226
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:41,770
I will say though,
227
00:19:41,810 --> 00:19:45,230
they are in the hands
of a fine puppeteer.
228
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:04,310
Granny Chiyo!
229
00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:10,180
Just kidding!
230
00:20:10,890 --> 00:20:12,270
Playing Possum for real!
231
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:18,890
Now then…
232
00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:22,730
Sasori left his Mother and Father
to you as a present…
233
00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:26,100
I must leave you with something too.
234
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:31,230
All I can give you now are
my Secret Puppetry Techniques.
235
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:33,640
Learn, by experiencing them firsthand!
236
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,640
Hey, wait…!
237
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,430
Secret White Technique!
Army of Illusions!
238
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:40,020
This is bad!
239
00:20:46,810 --> 00:20:49,730
When I was a kid,
I begged you to train me.
240
00:20:49,770 --> 00:20:52,020
But you said you didn't care
about the future of the village
241
00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:53,390
and totally ignored me!
242
00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:55,770
I guess I was young back then too!
243
00:20:56,020 --> 00:20:57,980
You were already
an old hag by then!
244
00:22:37,710 --> 00:22:40,040
Did you say Omoi deserted
the battlefield?!
245
00:22:40,790 --> 00:22:42,540
Is this true, Kakashi?
246
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,330
Yes. Reports say he ran
from his post
247
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:48,540
after saying he needed
to leave for a bit.
248
00:22:49,170 --> 00:22:51,540
Deserting one's post under
enemy fire
249
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:53,750
is considered a serious offense
in the Hidden Cloud Village!
250
00:22:54,290 --> 00:22:57,540
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Run, Omoi!"
251
00:22:58,670 --> 00:23:02,000
Damn it, Omoi,
what are you thinking?!
252
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,980
RUN, OMOI!
253
00:23:05,290 --> 00:23:07,790
Tune in again!
