Original subtitles

-Without a doubt, he's matured.

But he's still not strong enough.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): It hurts, but I

know it's just a genjutsu.

I gotta fight through it.

SASUKE: Naruto.

Naruto.

-Is that-- Is that Sasuke?

-It's been far too long, Naruto.

I should've finished you off the last time we saw each other.

-You're finished.

-Why?

Why, Naruto?

When Sasuke left, why didn't you bring him back to me?

I was wrong to believe in you.

-You couldn't even protect your closest friends.

I expected more from you, but you're a failure.

GAARA: As always.

No matter what, you come out ahead.

Only you achieve happiness.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Just a genjutsu.

I know that's all it is, but still.

-Naruto.

Why did I believe in you?

-You're such a disappointment.

Naruto.

-Such an easy life.

So lucky.

-Now, at long last, I'll finish you!

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Damn it.

Damn it!

Damn it.

This isn't happening, but I can't--

NARUTO: Let me get this straight.

I mean, I get the basics of what you're talking about,

the part where you temporarily stop your chakra flow

and direct the extra power at the enemy to disrupt his flow.

That make sense.

But what if you do that and it still doesn't work?

What can I do when that happens?

If I just can't break the genjutsu?

-Hm.

In that case, I guess you just give up.

-Huh?

-Sometimes, you have to accept that you're plum out of luck

and throw in the towel.

You never know what'll happen with genjutsu.

-You gotta be kidding me!

Then I guess there wasn't any point to the whole me falling

into the river and getting drenched lesson.

-Of course, if you've got your comrades along to back you up,

there's still a chance you could pull through it.

What I mean is, if you somehow got an ally to actually touch

you, they could funnel some of their chakra into your body.

The sudden surge of energy might disrupt the dangerous chakra

flowing inside of you.

And then, you could break the genjutsu.

-You liar.

You broke your promise to me.

-Such a disappointment.

-You always get everything.

-I will end you.

-Naruto.

-Sakura.

-Naruto.

-Kakashi-sensei

-Naruto.

-Gaara.

-Naruto.

-Sasuke.

S-Somebody give me chakra.

Kakashi-sensei, Sa-- Sakura Please.

I need your chakra.

-Naruto!

Are you all right?

-Wh-- What happened to me?

-You were caught in a genjutsu, but you're gonna be fine.

We all funneled our chakra into you and broke the hold.

-I don't get it.

Where did his shadow clones go?

-What do you mean, his shadow clones?

Why, he's used no such thing the entire time we've been here.

-Yeah, all of a sudden, you kind of freaked out

and started shooting off your Rasengan at absolutely nothing.

Don't you remember any of that?

-Rasengan!

You're saying I was already in the genjutsu?

-I'm afraid he's using more than just a visual jutsu.

-I think it's about time for the main event.

Better get it together, Naruto.

-Hey, snap out of it, will you?

-Come on, Naruto.

I'll show you how it's done.

[theme music]

-Fire Style.

Phoenix Flower Jutsu.

-Whoa, what a dodge.

-He's not done yet!

-Fire Style.

Fireball Jutsu.

-Lightning Blade!

-Rasengan!

-What happened?

Did he do it?

-Naruto!

-Well now.

He's learned an interesting jutsu, hasn't he?

However--

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Man.

I didn't think he'd survive it that easy.

I could've sworn we were gonna get the drop on him

with Kakashi-sensei's Lightning Blade as a diversion.

His Sharingan is a real problem.

He can instantly foresee what I'm gonna do.

Not again!

No way this is gonna work unless I combo attack

with Kakashi-sensei.

On top of that, I need a powerful jutsu

that'll take him out in one shot.

Looks like I gotta try out my new trick.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Where's Naruto?

Did he make it?

Wait.

Is he using another genjutsu?

The Hidden Mist Jutsu?

-Don't worry, my dear.

This jutsu is Kakashi's.

-Wait.

Are you saying--

-But the mist is getting thicker,

so we both need to focus now.

You must keep your attention firmly fixed

on Kakashi's presence.

-Right.

I will.

-The Hidden Mist Jutsu.

Quite an effective technique to prevent one

from casting a genjutsu.

Unless, of course, one posesses the Sharingan.

Kakashi.

Can we please stop this childish game of hide and seek?

-Sure.

Why not?

-Fire Style.

Fireball Jutsu.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): I get where you're going.

Awesome move, Kakashi-sensei.

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): That fireball was different.

Something's not right.

[music playing]

-Don't tell me Kakashi-sensei is caught in Itachi's genjutsu.

-Nicely done.

You certainly have mastery if your jutsu.

Your Earth Style move hid you from view for a moment,

so I didn't notice the change.

It all makes sense.

Of course my genjutsu has no effect on you,

because you're a shadow clone.

-He's fast.

-Do you think that he--

-I do.

-The game is over.

-Asa Kujaku!

-Well, that pretty much wraps that one up.

-Attack him and my shadow clone.

Now, Naruto!

-I'm on it!

-Huh?

Improve my Rasengan?

-That's what I'm saying.

-Come on.

I'm practically an expert with the Rasengan.

What I really want to learn are some new jutsu.

What do you say?

-Don't get ahead of yourself.

Do you honestly think the Rasengan

you use now is good enough?

Think back to when you fought with Orochimaru's four

eyed friend.

Remember what happened then?

-I don't know what jutsu you learned,

but you'll need to be more subtle than that

if you want to hit me.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): It's no use.

I'm not gonna be able to hit a moving target.

JIRAIYA: And then what happened?

What did you do next?

-OK.

Let's see you dodge me this time.

Rasengan!

JIRAIYA: Are you just gonna let your hand get

cut like that every time you face a tough enemy?

Is that your plan?

-This is exactly what I'm talking about.

That's why I need a new jutsu!

-Naruto.

I can't believe I'm hearing this from you.

Don't you remember, or are you telling me you forgot already?

The Rasengan is a precious gift.

A jutsu passed down from the Fourth Hokage.

-Oh, I, uh-- No, I didn't forget!

-I'll let it slide.

The Fourth Hokage is responsible for creating the Rasengan Now

the challenge for you will be to figure out how to perfect it

and make it unique.

It'll be hard, but I bet you can improve the Rasengan

and make it your own original jutsu.

-Huh?

-You're saying I could develop my own original jutsu?

-That's exactly right.

If you can harness the power of that massive chakra of yours,

it would make your strike super focused and more destructive.

A power that can't be done without your particular chakra.

Your Rasengan would be a one of a kind jutsu.

-Yeah.

My very own, original Rasengan

-In order to increase the power of the Rasengan,

you'll first need to master how to infuse more of your chakra.

I won't lie to you.

The training will be tough.

But if you can withstand it, you'll

emerge with by far the strongest weapon in your arsenal.

We'll call it--

-Giant Rasengan!

-Incredible.

-My word.

What power.

-What the-- What's up with that smirk?

-It's strange.

I got the feeling I'd fought him somewhere before, but--

-So, you do not remember ever meeting this man?

-That's weird, 'cause from what he was saying,

it seemed like he knew everything

about you, Guy-sensei.

-Something's going on here.

-His-- His face.

-Wha-- What on Earth?

-When we were fighting, I could feel something was off.

-I don't get it.

What the heck just happened?

-It has to be some kinda jutsu.

-But that man.

LEE: Who is that?

Sensei, what does this mean?

-I don't know.

But there's one thing that I am sure of.

There is no way I've ever met him.

-Lady Chiyo, do you know who this person is?

-I do.

His name is Yura, and he's a Jonin from our own village.

[theme music]

MAN: Seeking the truth always involves

putting your life in jeopardy, and this particular mystery

sent us into the desert, where we overcame the blazing sun,

deadly sandstorms, and poisonous scorpions.

But it was all worth it to cut through the darkness

and get the story.

The secret of an enigmatic statue will now be revealed.

Answers at last, the intrigue of the shinobi, uncharted lands,

and the mystery of the giant statue!

-That's just a statute of the previous Kazekage.

NARUTO: Next time.

The Secret of Jinchuriki.

[theme music]

NARUTO: And now, Notable People in the Leaf Village.

In this feature, you get to meet famous people from our village.

Today, we'll be introducing--

-Sorry I'm late!

I'm the one and only Jiraiya, the sexy beast

who strikes fear in the hearts of men!

-What's the deal, Pervy Sage?

You're totally upstaging me!

-Don't be just a stick in the mud, kid.

Just get on with my introduction, will you?

NARUTO: Fine.

Um.

He's one of the Leaf's three legendary Sannin.

JIRAIYA: That's right.

NARUTO: A powerhouse who trained with the Third Hokage

and taught the Fourth Hokage.

JIRAIYA: Go on.

NARUTO: And the author of a bunch of boring books

Kakashi-sensei's always reading.

-Hmph.

Like a kid could understand how great my books are.

NARUTO: Not to mention, drinks, ladies, money.

These three things are forbidden to shinobi,

but this Pervy Sage doesn't care!

JIRAIYA: Hey, that's no way to talk to your master.

I taught you the Rasengan, after all.

NARUTO: Ha!

If you want my respect, then how about paying me

back all the money you owe me?

What the-- He's gone!

Aw man.

Where'd he go?
