1
00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:35,130
My First Friend
2
00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:41,330
He would never give up
on his dreams, or on reality.
3
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,330
That's the kind of guy he is.
4
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:53,540
And the way he forges ahead
draws others towards him.
5
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,880
He makes you want to reach out
when he's about to stumble.
6
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,170
And the greater
the support behind you,
7
00:01:59,790 --> 00:02:01,250
the closer you can get
to your goal.
8
00:02:08,460 --> 00:02:10,040
Naruto's path…
9
00:02:12,130 --> 00:02:12,630
Take this!
10
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,580
Massive Rasen Shuriken!
11
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,210
If comrades that you trust,
gather around you…
12
00:02:21,790 --> 00:02:24,710
Hope can take physical form
and become visible.
13
00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:27,130
That's what I believe, Obito.
14
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,750
Perhaps…
15
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,960
That Wood Dragon will absorb
your chakra!
16
00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:44,170
Your chakra-stealing ninjutsu
has now been nullified!
17
00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:45,830
In other words, you can't move
18
00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:48,960
nor will you be able to extract chakra
with your next ninjutsu!
19
00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:52,750
Good timing, son of the Fourth!
20
00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:56,540
Let's get him with this
and seal him away!
21
00:03:02,130 --> 00:03:06,210
Naruto aimed his attack over there,
so that's where Madara is!
22
00:03:07,290 --> 00:03:08,580
Naruto, this way!
23
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:10,290
Let's go!
24
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,880
Thanks, Sai!
25
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:13,540
Don't waste any time!
26
00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:15,460
Now's our chance to seal him!
27
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:18,210
We won't let Naruto's attack
go to waste!
28
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:19,080
Right!
29
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,580
Without any orders…
without a single word…
30
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,250
Everyone is galvanized into action…
31
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:28,080
Naruto…
32
00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:32,790
And I'm one of them…
33
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:35,080
Shukaku…
34
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,540
I'd like to borrow the power of
your Sand to seal Madara.
35
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,630
You mean,
the Grand Sand Mausoleum?
36
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,500
That's right… A giant one too.
37
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:51,750
I'm not bound to a Jinchuriki anymore.
38
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,880
What makes you think I'd listen
to you after all this time?
39
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:59,750
I'm not ordering you.
I'm asking you.
40
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:01,670
If you refuse, fine.
41
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,500
I'll just ask one of the others.
42
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Naruto Uzumaki, huh?
43
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:16,210
Seems you've become friends
with that Fox Demon's brat, Gaara…
44
00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:19,540
If you're not going to help,
let's talk later.
45
00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:20,670
I'm going.
46
00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:25,540
That tone you're using ticks me off!
47
00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:29,040
As they say, if a fox has
seven tricks, a tanuki has eight!
48
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:33,000
And I, the Demon Tanuki,
will not lose to a stupid fox!
49
00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:37,420
I'm not doing this
because you asked!
50
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,420
I'm doing this because I want to!
51
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:42,880
Lead the way.
52
00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:45,130
It's this way.
53
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:46,750
Now then…
54
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Wait up.
55
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:48,790
Huh?
56
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:53,670
We'll help too.
57
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:59,250
That's why I want
to help you too…
58
00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:03,960
Don't worry.
We're not doing this on a whim.
59
00:05:04,670 --> 00:05:06,630
We want to help Naruto.
60
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:11,420
I'm grateful.
61
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,630
Sand Shinobi human,
are you a friend of Naruto too?
62
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:21,750
It's a monster!
63
00:05:22,290 --> 00:05:23,380
Stay away!
64
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:25,880
Use the buildings as a shield!
65
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,830
But do not go inside!
66
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:30,040
If they collapse,
you'll be buried alive!
67
00:05:52,330 --> 00:05:53,210
Are you all right?
68
00:05:54,830 --> 00:05:55,630
Yeah…
69
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,750
That's my kid brother?
70
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,670
H-He's just a—!
71
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Hello!
72
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:31,500
Hello!
73
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:38,170
Hello…
74
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:54,500
Run!
75
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:59,000
W-Wait…!
76
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,080
Help!
77
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:02,920
Don't leave me by myself!
78
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,540
I hate it… I hate it!
79
00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:13,960
People hurt others and
others hurt them…
80
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:16,170
That's how they learn to survive.
81
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,670
But it's not that easy for
one person to hate another…
82
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:35,290
It's not bleeding, but…
83
00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:39,710
it really hurts right around here.
84
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,250
That is a wound of the heart.
85
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,920
It's a troublesome wound that
only the love from another can cure.
86
00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:49,960
Love?
87
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,580
Love is a feeling
88
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:56,210
that desires to serve a precious person
who is close to oneself,
89
00:07:56,290 --> 00:07:58,460
to love and watch over
that person…
90
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:01,500
Die!
91
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Don't get involved with him.
92
00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:07,710
Stupid!
93
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,130
Don't look.
94
00:08:09,540 --> 00:08:10,420
Get lost!
95
00:08:12,420 --> 00:08:14,040
Your name is Gaara…
96
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:17,420
A demon that loves only itself.
97
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:23,290
One that loves only itself
and fights only for itself.
98
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:28,500
Because you were never loved.
99
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:53,330
He's just a monster!
100
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:25,170
D-Don't you feel anything?
101
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,750
Kankuro…
102
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:28,630
They were our friends!
103
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:36,630
You killed…friends from our village…
104
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:38,000
Don't you feel anything…
105
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:39,500
right here?!
106
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,630
Doesn't your heart hurt?!
107
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,380
If you don't shut up, I'll kill you.
108
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:52,380
I was a killing machine
from the time I was born…
109
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:54,500
An uncontrollable monster…
110
00:09:55,540 --> 00:09:57,830
My mother died giving birth to me…
111
00:09:58,210 --> 00:10:01,710
The village ignored me…
my siblings avoided me…
112
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,830
I was made a target for
assassination by my father…
113
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:09,500
I was alone…
114
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:12,040
And a solitary weapon
didn't need a heart.
115
00:10:14,330 --> 00:10:17,670
Then I was sent as a weapon
to destroy Hidden Leaf Village…
116
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,670
where I met him.
117
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,790
Let's go.
118
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:43,290
Hey, you there…
119
00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:45,950
What's your name?
120
00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:50,330
Gaara of the Sand.
121
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040
I'm curious about you too.
122
00:10:53,410 --> 00:10:54,410
What's your name?
123
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:58,370
Sasuke Uchiha.
124
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:04,700
Hey! Hey! And what about me?
125
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:06,450
I'm not interested.
126
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:09,080
Naruto Uzumaki…
127
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:13,910
My first encounter
with him was uninteresting.
128
00:11:15,790 --> 00:11:16,580
However…
129
00:11:17,790 --> 00:11:20,040
I'm definitely going to win!
130
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,870
But with every little incident,
131
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:25,540
his words and actions
towards his friends
132
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:29,120
began to send ripples
through my heart.
133
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:34,450
Why you!
134
00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:36,370
What were you trying to do
to Bushy Brows!
135
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:39,120
I was trying to kill him.
136
00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:43,330
If you get in my way,
I'll kill you too.
137
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:46,120
As if someone like you
can kill me!
138
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,330
I keep telling you to cut it out!
139
00:11:48,950 --> 00:11:51,330
This guy has monster-like strength.
140
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,660
I have a real monster inside me.
141
00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:56,330
I wouldn't lose to a guy like him!
142
00:11:58,290 --> 00:12:02,200
Furthermore, he started to
have an effect on me…
143
00:12:02,540 --> 00:12:07,160
He wasn't like the others
who merely aroused hatred in me.
144
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,250
Just what are they to you?
145
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,040
He's my friend!
146
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,040
If you even attempt to hurt him,
I'll pummel you!
147
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,200
A friend?!
148
00:12:21,250 --> 00:12:22,790
Don't make me laugh…
149
00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:25,580
I only fight…
150
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,250
for myself!
151
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Because he resembles me…
152
00:12:34,290 --> 00:12:36,250
Because he has gone through life
153
00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:39,250
with the same loneliness
and sadness as I have…
154
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:43,290
That guy who continued to fight
in solitude for himself,
155
00:12:43,370 --> 00:12:45,330
I thought he was strong.
156
00:12:50,330 --> 00:12:55,200
But that's not the meaning
of true strength…
157
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:59,040
If one fights just for oneself
in solitude,
158
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,080
one can't become truly strong…
159
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:08,200
Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
160
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Na-Ru-To! 2K Uzumaki…
161
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,500
Barrage!
162
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,540
There's no way…
163
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:30,160
I can lose…
to a guy like him!
164
00:13:33,450 --> 00:13:39,450
The more I drove him into a corner,
the harder he fought back…
165
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:41,250
Summoning Jutsu!
166
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:49,120
Transformation Jutsu!
167
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:55,000
Get up, you jerk!
168
00:14:00,870 --> 00:14:03,120
Time and time again…
169
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,910
after hitting rock bottom…
170
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,330
Die!
171
00:14:11,410 --> 00:14:13,410
You bastard!
172
00:14:26,830 --> 00:14:28,160
Why…?
173
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:31,040
What kind of strength
does he possess?
174
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,160
Why?
175
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Why do you go so far for others?
176
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,370
Because they are my precious friends
who saved me from that hell,
177
00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:52,450
of being alone, and who acknowledged
my existence.
178
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,750
Love…
179
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,870
Is that why he is so strong?
180
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:09,290
This day would come to
hold special meaning for me…
181
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,700
I learned that he grew up
under the same circumstances as me,
182
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:15,700
yet he chose
a different way to live…
183
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,200
And that my strength was
directly connected to this.
184
00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:27,370
I just have to work hard and
carve out a future for myself.
185
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,620
And I must not run away
from my path of solitude.
186
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:33,120
If I do that, someday…
187
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,370
I can be like him.
188
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,750
So as a shinobi
who belongs to the Sand,
189
00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:41,830
I will aim to become the Kazekage.
190
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,950
In order to connect with
this village and live in it.
191
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:46,750
Gaara…
192
00:15:48,410 --> 00:15:51,040
Watching Naruto Uzumaki
makes me feel this way.
193
00:15:51,830 --> 00:15:53,540
A connection with others…
194
00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:58,250
Until now, that only meant hatred
and a desire to kill.
195
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,120
So just what is this connection
that he keeps talking about?
196
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:08,120
After all this time, I understand
a little bit about something…
197
00:16:11,290 --> 00:16:14,290
Suffering and sadness…
even happiness…
198
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,750
can be shared with someone.
199
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:21,540
Naruto Uzumaki…
200
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:24,950
He has known
the same suffering I have…
201
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,870
And he has taught me
202
00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:29,620
that it is possible to
change one's path in life…
203
00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:34,830
I, too, want to become the kind of man
that everyone looks up to…
204
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:38,160
Instead of just being
a weapon to be fearful of.
205
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:41,660
As the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand.
206
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:49,330
I was able to take a step forward,
away from my pessimistic life.
207
00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:53,080
And I became the Kazekage.
208
00:16:53,250 --> 00:16:55,000
I have gained more friends,
209
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,250
and I continue to strive to be
someone who is needed by others.
210
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:03,080
And with my head held high,
I stood as his equal,
211
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,200
and step by step,
212
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:09,080
I aimed for the day when
I could be acknowledged as his friend.
213
00:17:10,290 --> 00:17:11,330
However…
214
00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:29,160
Whose…hand is this?
215
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:34,120
Oh…it's my hand.
216
00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:44,080
Have I become someone
who is needed by somebody?
217
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,200
Huh?
218
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:48,080
What is this?
219
00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:51,200
It's me?
220
00:17:57,330 --> 00:17:58,870
That's me…
221
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:02,870
I really wanted to be needed…
222
00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:08,370
Why? Why did I desire that?
223
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,290
Why am I someone
who desires that?
224
00:18:14,290 --> 00:18:18,200
Those eyes…
that nose, that mouth…
225
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,160
Why?
226
00:18:23,910 --> 00:18:26,330
Why is that Gaara?
227
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:30,200
I was inside that…
228
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:34,120
No… Actually just what am I?
229
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,200
That's what I feel I am…
230
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:43,120
But actually…what am I?
231
00:18:44,370 --> 00:18:48,250
Just a small feeling?
232
00:18:49,790 --> 00:18:52,040
Gaara… Gaara!
233
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:53,410
Who is that?
234
00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:55,330
Who are you calling?
235
00:18:58,410 --> 00:18:59,450
Who is it?
236
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,290
Who's hand is this?
237
00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:06,500
Oh… It's just my hand again…
238
00:19:09,620 --> 00:19:11,200
My hand…
239
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:14,910
Me?
240
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,160
Who am I?
241
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,160
I…
242
00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:27,080
I am…
243
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:39,500
When the Akatsuki extracted
the Tailed Beast from me…
244
00:19:39,870 --> 00:19:43,750
I died, but was revived…
245
00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:45,790
thanks to Granny Chiyo
246
00:19:45,870 --> 00:19:48,250
who used a Forbidden Jutsu
to exchange her life for mine,
247
00:19:48,330 --> 00:19:50,950
and Naruto's chakra.
248
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,790
So long.
249
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:54,620
Right!
250
00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:05,080
Normally, people shake hands
when they part.
251
00:20:05,450 --> 00:20:07,750
But I'm not so good with
stuff like that…
252
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:08,950
So…
253
00:20:11,450 --> 00:20:13,580
I thought I've been doing my best
254
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:17,200
in order to be accepted
by you as a friend.
255
00:20:18,330 --> 00:20:21,160
I thought I had to become someone
who was essential to others…
256
00:20:21,250 --> 00:20:24,580
someone people looked up to…
257
00:20:25,330 --> 00:20:26,200
But…
258
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:34,830
But on that day, we…
259
00:20:34,910 --> 00:20:38,410
came to understand,
and accept each other…
260
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:41,080
We were already friends.
261
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,120
What's wrong?
262
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:47,160
I asked if you are Naruto's friend?
263
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,870
Yeah…
264
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,830
He's my first friend.
265
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,330
Is that right?
266
00:20:57,620 --> 00:20:59,290
All right, let's hurry.
267
00:22:38,540 --> 00:22:40,450
I'm curious about what happens
next with Gaara…
268
00:22:40,540 --> 00:22:42,080
But the next episode is
a little extra feature.
269
00:22:42,330 --> 00:22:47,000
In the Hyuga Clan, Hinata and
Hanabi were very close sisters!
270
00:22:47,870 --> 00:22:50,830
But the destiny of hatred
within the Hyuga
271
00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:53,330
caused their feelings
to pass each other by.
272
00:22:54,250 --> 00:22:58,200
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Adored Elder Sister."
273
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,700
Can't destiny be changed?
274
00:23:01,790 --> 00:23:04,950
THE ADORED ELDER SISTER
275
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,580
Tune in again!
