Original subtitles

-I've got Naruto near me.

-No human could do that.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Sai.

What are you up to?

-Copy that.

Continue observation only.

-Hey!

Sakura!

[giggling]

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): That creature is Naruto?

-Naruto!

-Oh no.

OROCHIMARU (VOICEOVER): Even my snake sword can't pierce him.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): This must be what Master Jiraiya was talking

about when he said a smaller version of the Nine Tails.

[theme music]

-This isn't so much a battle between ninja anymore.

It's some kind of epic battle between two monsters.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

OROCHIMARU (VOICEOVER): It's pointless to keep

using my snake sword when it has no effect.

SAI (VOICEOVER): What's going on out there?

Is Naruto even still alive?

-Well, well.

Look at that.

I can't believe he'd go this far, becoming that just

to save Sasuke.

-Don't you worry one bit.

I'm gonna bring Sasuke back!

I promise that on my life, Sakura.

I haven't given up.

Listen.

I swear I'm still gonna keep my promise.

If I say I'm gonna do it, that means I will, K?

Don't forget.

My way of the shinobi means I always stand behind what I say.

-Now the boy is gone and only the monster remains.

What a pitiful child.

-Sakura, come back!

You have to stay away from him!

-Naruto!

Naruto, stop!

It's OK.

I can rescue Sasuke!

I'm begging you to stop this right now!

Please!

Naruto, please stop!

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): No.

SAI (VOICEOVER): What is he up to now?

Now's my chance.

-Seems like the time has finally come.

As I predicted, this body is starting

to show signs of rejection.

Unfortunately, play time is over.

Patience.

I must be patient.

After all.

I still have Sasuke.

-Aw, what a shame.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Damn!

It was too late.

-Don't hurt them.

-You misunderstand.

I no longer intend to hurt any of you.

In fact, it's quite the opposite.

-What are you saying?

-I'm saying you and I share a common enemy.

The Akatsuki are in the way, and if we let you live,

I'm hoping you can get rid of at least one more Akatsuki member

for us.

So there you have it.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

KABUTO (VOICEOVER): Her wo0unds are taking longer

to heal than I thought, but I can't stick

around playing volunteer much longer.

Lord Orochimaru must be near his limit.

-OK.

I've helped you.

In exchange, get as many Akatsuki as you can.

And as for that teammate of yours over there,

well, I trust you can take care of it.

KABUTO (VOICEOVER): It's time for me to go.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): I've gotta do it now.

-I'm an envoy from Danzo.

I'm not your enemy.

And on his behalf, I'd like a word with you.

-Hokage Style, Elder Jutsu!

Tenth Edict on Enlightenment!

-Naruto.

[scream]

-Danzo, huh?

That senile geezer's still alive?

And still up to his old tricks?

So, what do you want to talk about?

-I come bearing a message from Danzo to be delivered to you.

He says--

OROCHIMARU: Hold it.

When you speak to me, I suggest you choose your words

carefully.

Or else, you'll die.

-But sir, I am only allowed to really exactly

as Danzo has instructed me.

If the message meets with your displeasure, by all means,

do what you will.

[theme music]

SAKURA: Captain.

Will you teach me the jutsu you just used?

YAMATO: I'm sorry.

SAKURA: Why?

YAMATO: I'm the only one in the Leaf who can use that jutsu,

and only because I carry the first Hokage's DNA.

SAKURA: It's always like this.

The only stuff I can ever do for Naruto are these little things.

YAMATO: It doesn't matter whether the things you

do for him are great or small.

What matters is how much you care about Naruto.

SAKURA: Huh?

YAMATO: I've seen it, Sakura.

I know just how much you--

NARUTO: Next time, The Secret of the Battle.

[theme music]

-Intelligence report by the ANBU Black Ops.

Subject file, Sai.

Sai is the mysterious rookie who was assigned to Team Kakashi

to replace Sasuke, who left the village.

He's a talented artist and has the power

to make his pictures come to life with his Ninja Art, Super

Beast Scroll Jutsu.

He has no emotion, and due to his lack of awareness

in social situations, he frequently

makes insensitive remarks.

Apparently, Sai comes from the organization

known as the Foundation.

The Foundation is a separate training division

within the ANBU.

It was created by Danzo, head of the Hawk faction,

who clashed with the Third Hokage

over who should become the leader of the Leaf.

At this point, everything we know

suggests that Sai is actually on a secret mission

he received from Danzo.

However, as long as I'm still breathing,

I'll never let him get away with it.
