00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:34,860
Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
The Tale of Naruto the Hero
The Loser Ninja
2
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:37,700
This…can't be.
3
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,700
What is happening?!
4
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:52,490
Snap out of it, Tsunade!
5
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,400
What's going on?!
6
00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:45,110
I've completed my latest work!
7
00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:49,030
Jiraiya!
You never even contacted me—!
8
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,900
JIRAIYA NINJA SCROLLS
9
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,410
SAKA-SAKAYA
10
00:03:15,950 --> 00:03:16,990
What are you doing?
11
00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:18,860
I'm in the middle of writing
my latest work.
12
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:21,570
Another "Makeout" whatever…
So ridiculous.
13
00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:23,070
Now that hurts.
14
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:26,650
This new novel is different from
the others and very innovative.
15
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:28,490
I'm still in the middle of it,
16
00:03:28,570 --> 00:03:31,610
but it will be a masterpiece
about the "future of shinobi."
17
00:03:32,110 --> 00:03:34,900
You'll be the first to read it
when it's finished.
18
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:36,900
No thanks.
19
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:44,240
"Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls"…
20
00:03:48,610 --> 00:03:52,950
"Long ago, there was a Fox Spirit.
This fox had nine tails…"
21
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:54,860
"If this fox lashed its tails once,"
22
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,900
"it could smash mountains
and create tidal waves."
23
00:03:56,900 --> 00:04:00,450
"A band on ninja arose to defend
their village from attack."
24
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:05,990
"A lone shinobi staked his life
to seal away this beast."
25
00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:16,570
'Morning.
26
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:17,740
'Morning!
27
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:19,490
You came home late last night.
28
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:22,740
Yeah… I was with Lord Third.
29
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,610
How did your discussion go?
30
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:25,740
Huh?
31
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:29,740
You mentioned an important meeting.
Did it go well?
32
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:43,860
There's no need for you to
dirty your hands anymore.
33
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:48,900
The unlikeliest alliance between
the Uchiha and Senju
34
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:52,240
has protected the peace
of the Hidden Leaf Village…
35
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:55,900
And will continue
from this night forward
36
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:57,990
until the end of time.
37
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,530
Oh, it was fine.
38
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:13,110
Where's Naruto?
39
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,990
He said an important mission
was going to be assigned today
40
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:18,110
so he couldn't be late, but…
41
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Naruto!
42
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:22,780
Naruto!
43
00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:30,320
What?!
It's already this late?
44
00:05:31,530 --> 00:05:32,530
'Morning!
45
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,320
I'm off!
46
00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:38,860
Hey, that's bad manners!
47
00:05:40,030 --> 00:05:42,070
I have to hurry or I won't make it
48
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:44,570
for the meeting time
Kakashi's Sensei set!
49
00:05:45,610 --> 00:05:47,320
It's always like this.
50
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,950
You spoil him too much!
Can you please scold him too?
51
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,860
All right… All right.
52
00:05:59,030 --> 00:05:59,820
All right!
53
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,650
We're going to get
an S-ranked mission today!
54
00:06:02,450 --> 00:06:04,360
Oh, isn't that the Nine-Tailed…
55
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,860
He's still the Hokage's son.
56
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:10,900
Just let sleeping dogs lie…
57
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:12,900
I don't like it one bit.
58
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:14,820
All right!
59
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:18,860
Who's there?! Scaring me like that!
60
00:06:19,150 --> 00:06:20,150
Hey!
61
00:06:20,650 --> 00:06:23,070
Oh, it's you, Young Lord Naruto!
62
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,450
Mister, how much is this mask?
63
00:06:25,610 --> 00:06:27,400
Don't even ask!
64
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:29,570
I can't take money from you,
Young Lord!
65
00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:32,150
Lord Hokage would
scold me if I did!
66
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,240
Please take it.
67
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:39,400
That's okay.
I don't have any money today.
68
00:06:39,610 --> 00:06:40,780
I see…
69
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:43,320
Thank you though.
I'll come back to buy it.
70
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Sheesh! Lord Hokage this,
Lord Hokage that…
71
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,530
Hey, throw some salt!
72
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,610
It's supposed to be a secret
in the village…
73
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:03,360
But everyone knows
what that kid is.
74
00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:05,400
If he weren't the Hokage's son,
75
00:07:05,570 --> 00:07:07,950
he'd have been chased out of
the village by now.
76
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,280
Hey, Shiro! 'Morning!
77
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,110
Oh, Naruto! Good morning.
78
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:25,650
Hey, Big Brother Itachi!
Good morning. Is Sasuke around?
79
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:27,530
Thanks for coming
to see him all the time.
80
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:30,820
My kid brother is
just so unfriendly.
81
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,950
Leave him to me!
82
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:34,900
I'll train him right.
83
00:07:35,030 --> 00:07:37,320
Thanks. Be a good friend to him.
84
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:38,530
Sure.
85
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,900
Who's training whom?
86
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,950
I'm not so pitiful that I need
a loser like you to train me!
87
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:48,780
It's okay! I don't mind at all.
We're friends, aren't we?
88
00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:50,110
Since when are we friends?!
89
00:07:50,490 --> 00:07:52,070
You don't have to come and
get me every morning!
90
00:07:53,030 --> 00:07:55,990
Just seeing your face during
missions is more than enough!
91
00:07:57,070 --> 00:07:59,860
Yeah right…
you're actually happy that I came.
92
00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:23,530
What's wrong?
93
00:08:23,610 --> 00:08:24,610
Who's that?!
94
00:08:28,990 --> 00:08:29,990
What happened?!
95
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:31,150
Are you okay?
96
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,240
Hang in there.
97
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:35,990
A-Ageha…
98
00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:44,950
Kakashi Sensei,
what's our new mission?
99
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,070
Before that,
I want to show you something.
100
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,240
Look here.
101
00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:54,860
The names of legendary heroes
are carved here.
102
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,860
Legendary heroes?
103
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,530
I'm definitely going to make it
so my name gets on here!
104
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,740
They were all killed in action
during missions for our village.
105
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:07,860
Huh?!
106
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:11,950
But there are those who
put their lives at risk
107
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:13,110
and fought for the village…
108
00:09:13,780 --> 00:09:15,280
and even saved their comrades.
109
00:09:15,490 --> 00:09:17,030
Yet, they weren't given
a heroes' burial,
110
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,820
let alone buried in
an ordinary grave.
111
00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:28,400
Why isn't this person
with the others?
112
00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:30,240
During an extremely
difficult mission,
113
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,900
he was a captain and
infiltrated enemy territory…
114
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:34,150
There, he was faced
with a difficult choice.
115
00:09:35,150 --> 00:09:38,200
Continue the mission or
sacrifice the lives of his men…
116
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:40,700
Which did he choose?
117
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:42,900
Clearly, he chose
his comrades' lives, right?
118
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:45,820
In order to save the lives
of his comrades,
119
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:47,240
he cancelled the mission.
120
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,400
I knew it!
121
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:52,450
However,
the village suffered huge losses.
122
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:55,240
He was held responsible
and blamed for his actions…
123
00:09:55,820 --> 00:10:00,450
In the end, even the men whose
lives he saved criticized him.
124
00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:05,030
As a result, the deep hurt took
its toll mentally and physically…
125
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:07,110
and he took his own life.
126
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:09,610
– But…that's—!
– Why?!
127
00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:13,860
He broke the code in order to
save his men's lives!
128
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:17,150
The first thing we learn
at the Academy is that
129
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:20,650
the mission takes utmost priority,
under the shinobi rules.
130
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:21,780
But!
131
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:26,030
In the shinobi world,
those who break the rules are scum.
132
00:10:27,450 --> 00:10:28,450
That's…
133
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:32,200
However! Those who don't
value their comrades…
134
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:35,400
…are worse than scum.
135
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,950
And so, until you get
the signal to assemble…
136
00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:44,070
go do some training.
137
00:10:44,650 --> 00:10:45,650
Scatter!
138
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:46,900
– R-Right!
– R-Right!
139
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:50,700
What's the matter?
140
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:52,820
So tell me…
141
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:55,900
Why was I grouped together
with Naruto?
142
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Do you object?
143
00:10:57,740 --> 00:10:59,530
No, I don't have a problem with it.
144
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,030
But if he's put on a team
145
00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:03,860
where there's too much of
a difference in skill levels,
146
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,860
he's bound to suffer.
147
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:09,280
You were the Academy's
most promising student.
148
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,110
Are you blaming Naruto
149
00:11:11,150 --> 00:11:12,820
for S-ranked missions
not coming your way?
150
00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:14,450
Because it certainly seems that way.
151
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:15,990
I didn't mean it like that…
152
00:11:17,570 --> 00:11:19,900
It could just be the opposite.
153
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,030
I have a feeling that today's the day
that we'll get an S-ranked mission!
154
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:33,610
All right! I'm gonna go all out!
155
00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:34,820
Honestly…
156
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:37,820
How can you be so positive
about life?
157
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:41,450
Well, I'm gonna be
the Hokage some day!
158
00:11:41,950 --> 00:11:44,450
For the sake of the village,
I can't be a downer!
159
00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:45,820
Talk about dreaming…
160
00:11:45,860 --> 00:11:47,150
No…
161
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,400
It's possible Naruto
might become the Hokage.
162
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:53,490
Sasuke!
163
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:59,860
So you do acknowledge
my abilities, after all!
164
00:11:59,950 --> 00:12:00,700
Don't be stupid.
165
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:03,780
You're the son of the Fourth Hokage.
166
00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:06,070
I'm just saying even the biggest loser
167
00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:09,110
can follow in the Hokage's footsteps
with a little favoritism.
168
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,030
What?!
169
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:12,200
You have no right to
talk to me like that
170
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,030
until you beat me with your ninjutsu!
171
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,820
I don't need ninjutsu to beat you!
172
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:27,110
Lions Barrage!
173
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:33,150
Stop! Don't fight!
We're on the same team!
174
00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:36,200
That was nothing…
175
00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:43,740
Sasuke! Let's race to see who can
make it to the top of that rock.
176
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:44,900
On your mark!
177
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:45,650
Hey!
178
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,740
Get ready…go!
179
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:50,150
He doesn't know when to give up!
180
00:12:56,990 --> 00:12:58,950
Lord Hokage just gave us
the sign to assemble.
181
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,860
But Naruto is…
182
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:03,530
What about Naruto?
183
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,030
Damn it! Like I'm going to give up.
184
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:10,650
I'll never give up
despite what anyone says!
185
00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:12,820
Sasuke…
186
00:13:12,950 --> 00:13:16,700
I don't see him catching up!
I knew it!
187
00:13:30,950 --> 00:13:32,240
Damn it!
188
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:51,980
It will be interesting to see…
189
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:55,650
whether the power
you have been given is truly for you.
190
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,900
If you don't want to die,
figure it out yourself!
191
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:08,900
I'll never give up!
Never! Never! No way!
192
00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:26,020
A voice in pain…
A bitter and sad voice…
193
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:03,110
Y-You're huge!
194
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,190
You're the—!
195
00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:11,020
I wasn't expecting to
hear that from you…
196
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:15,560
Didn't your parents tell you?
197
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:18,360
Oh, you're the Nine-Tails, right!
198
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:21,190
Then this will be quick.
199
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,520
What brings you to me?
200
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:30,190
I'm letting you live inside my body.
You owe me some rent.
201
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,810
What?!
202
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:34,150
Lend me your chakra!
203
00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:39,650
You, ordering me around?
204
00:15:50,730 --> 00:15:53,020
You're greatly mistaken…
205
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,190
Anyway, if you die, I die.
206
00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:18,610
I'll show you first.
207
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:24,440
Watch carefully!
208
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:27,400
Summoning Jutsu!
209
00:16:28,270 --> 00:16:29,860
If I could do that…
210
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:31,900
Summoning Jutsu!
211
00:16:48,110 --> 00:16:48,980
I'm safe.
212
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,980
So Naruto dashed off for that rock?
213
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Yes… He challenged Sasuke
to a race.
214
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:05,190
But I didn't want to get involved.
215
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:14,150
It seems he jumped over this.
216
00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:16,610
What?
He fell from here?!
217
00:17:17,610 --> 00:17:18,480
What a fool.
218
00:17:19,190 --> 00:17:20,480
Hey! What are you doing?
219
00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:23,980
Better hurry or Dad
will get mad at us!
220
00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:35,150
FOURTH HOKAGE
221
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:37,610
Jiraiya Sensei…
222
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,690
Over there!
223
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:53,150
I must put up a barrier immediately…
224
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,900
My chakra is almost…
225
00:17:56,110 --> 00:17:59,150
I can still do it…Minato.
226
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,110
Kushina!
227
00:18:15,150 --> 00:18:16,400
Did I wake you up?
228
00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:19,360
I'm sorry, Naruto…
229
00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:21,060
Kushina…
230
00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:24,980
I'm going to pull the Nine Tails
with me…
231
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:26,020
to my death…
232
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:28,360
Then…
233
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:32,860
Kushina, there's no need for you
to die with the Nine Tails…
234
00:18:34,110 --> 00:18:38,060
You sealing the Nine Tails' chakra in
your state is physically impossible.
235
00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:40,480
But half should be possible…
236
00:18:41,230 --> 00:18:43,190
And the other half?
237
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:46,980
I will seal it inside Naruto
with the Eight Signed Seal!
238
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:50,360
I know what you want to say…
239
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:53,810
But in time, the Nine Tails' chakra…
240
00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:57,810
will open up Naruto's future
as a Jinchuriki.
241
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:11,400
I believe that if Naruto is ever
in danger, it will be invaluable.
242
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:15,190
But right now,
it seems to be just the opposite.
243
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Well, he's just not able to manage
244
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,480
the Nine Tails'
enormous power yet…
245
00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:24,440
I'm sure he'll learn to
control it in time.
246
00:19:25,730 --> 00:19:29,520
If…Naruto is truly
the Child of Prophecy.
247
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,980
But if he's not able to
fully control the Nine Tails…
248
00:19:39,150 --> 00:19:42,020
Was it too soon…
to let you go on this mission?
249
00:19:43,810 --> 00:19:48,900
No, sooner or later…
You'll have to overcome this trial.
250
00:20:00,270 --> 00:20:04,020
All of our classmates have
assembled for this mission.
251
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,020
Yeah…
252
00:20:05,810 --> 00:20:08,060
It's turned out just as we feared, huh.
253
00:20:08,110 --> 00:20:09,060
What?
254
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,730
Well, I want as little as possible
to do with that guy
255
00:20:12,770 --> 00:20:14,360
and complete the mission
successfully.
256
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:18,810
Each team will take
a separate route to the target site.
257
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:23,610
Once there, you will search
for the missing shinobi.
258
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,860
Send word the minute
you discover them!
259
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:30,650
Do not rush out to try
and rescue them!
260
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:32,060
Understand?
261
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:34,730
You don't have to keep reminding us.
262
00:20:36,190 --> 00:20:38,230
I'll rescue every one of them!
263
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,110
Seems like someone over there
doesn't get it.
264
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:44,190
I knew it… This is going to
turn out to be a drag.
265
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,150
Scatter!
266
00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:01,940
All right! Let's do this!
267
00:22:38,110 --> 00:22:41,860
Right around then, the young shinobi
who just made genin,
268
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,400
made their way to a village
that had lost their jonin.
269
00:22:47,030 --> 00:22:50,490
Amongst them was
the Child of Prophecy, Naruto.
270
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:54,530
I know it's sudden, but let me
go over the next mission.
271
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,570
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Search Mission."
272
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,030
Naruto, you will most likely be
the one who…
273
00:23:03,070 --> 00:23:04,900
JIRAIYA NINJA SCROLLS:
THE TALE OF NARUTO THE HERO
THE SEARCH MISSION
274
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,160
Tune in again!
