Original subtitles

-Mm.

You don't know the first thing about good manners, do you?

When addressing someone of superior rank,

proper etiquette dictates you face them directly.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): His body is-- It's covered with wounds.

[screaming]

-It's finally over.

-Naruto!

Naruto!

[theme music]

-Well, then.

Speak up.

-The truth of the matter is, my master, Lord Danzo,

has longed to meet you, Lord Orochimaru, ever since the time

you nearly destroyed the Leaf.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): These wounds are slow to heal.

Naruto's always recovered quickly up 'til now,

thanks to the Nine Tail's chakra.

JIRAIYA: When Naruto is cloaked in the chakra of the Nine

Tails, I know it looks like he's being protected,

but the truth this, his body is continuously

being harmed by that same chakra.

When the fourth tail emerged, his whole body

suffered severe injuries.

He ran amok, covered in blood.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): The fourth tail Master Jiraiya spoke of.

I never imagines it would be as powerful as this.

-Captain Yamato.

-Yeah?

-That jutsu you used to pacify Naruto.

Could you-- Could you please teach it to me?

-That is impossible.

Only I can perform that jutsu because I

carry the First Hokage's DNA within me.

-Oh.

-That jutsu has the ability to suppress the Nine Tail's

chakra.

Without special powers like those I inherited,

it is impossible for anyone to perform it.

Yet all I am is an experiment.

My powers pale in comparison to the original.

That necklace hanging around Naruto's neck

is something that used to belong to the First Hokage.

It's a chakra crystal that responds to his chakra alone.

The Jinchuriki can be controlled through that necklace.

It's said the First qualified to be Hokage partly because

of that power.

And it's also the reason that I was

chosen to be your commander.

-It's always like this.

The only things I can ever do for Naruto

are the little things anyone could do.

-It doesn't matter whether the things you do for him

are great or small.

What matters most is how much you care,

really care, about Naruto.

I can tell, just by watching you, Sakura, just how

much you--

NARUTO: Sakura.

I--

-Naruto!

-What the-- What just happened?

Why am I here?

I remember going after Orochimaru, and then--

and then-- What did I do after that?

What happened, Sakura?

Sakura, what's wrong?

Are you crying?

-No, just got something in my eye, that's all.

-I know, it was Sai, wasn't it?

I swear, if that snake said something hurtful to you like,

you're ugly, or you've got monster strength!

That little jerk.

I'll--

-No.

No, Sai didn't say anything about monster strength.

-Really?

He didn't?

-No, but I think you just did.

So who's the jerk?

Speaking of which-- Captain Yamato, Where is Sai?

-And that is the message Danzo wanted me to convey.

-I find that very interesting.

It's a very intriguing story.

But give me one good reason why I should believe you.

What do you think you're doing?

Let's not be hasty, Kabuto.

Calm down.

I believe our ranks may have just increased by one.

-You don't actually think that we can trust this one?

-The contents of that envelope might convince you.

Open it.

It's from Lord Danzo to you.

-Why, this is--

-What does it say?

-Kabuto, let the child go.

We're going to be taking him with us.

Shall we be leaving, Sai?

That's your name, isn't it?

-As we feared.

-Well, Captain Yamato?

-Sai has-- hang on just a moment.

-Huh?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): The bridge.

-I planted it on him back when we were at the hot springs,

just in case we needed it.

I suppose it won't hurt to tell him in person, as well.

I may not look like it, but tracking is my specialty.

-Captain Yamato?

-Oh, right.

Where is Sai?

Well, actually, he's gone off with Orochimaru.

They're together.

-Wha--

-They're together?

Wait, what are you saying?

-Let's go.

You two follow me.

-The ground is still soft.

The way this whole place is all torn up, and with the bridge

being totally wrecked?

Will somebody tell me what happened here?

-You don't remember anything?

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Again.

It's all just as Master Jiraiya said.

JIRAIYA: His anger acts like a trigger.

The number of tails increases along with his rage.

He was able to maintain consciousness

through the appearance of the first three tails,

but after the fourth, his mind was over powered.

All that was left was a hunger for destruction.

-And another thing I don't get.

Why was I unconscious?

-Orochimaru attacked you and knocked you out.

-Huh?

I--

[grunting]

-Oh, come on!

Are you kidding me?

Ugh!

-Sai's things are scattered all over.

Why would he leave his picture book?

Wow, your own picture book.

Oh.

Would you mind if I took a look at it while we're on the road.

-I do, actually.

It's just, I haven't finished it yet.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

I don't show it to other people.

-Oh.

It belongs to my older brother.

-It doesn't make sense.

This picture book was Sai's prized possession,

yet here it is, tossed on the ground.

YAMATO: To have left something so precious behind.

Even he must have been pretty rattled by dealing

with Orochimaru.

-You talk about it as if you saw the whole thing.

-I didn't, but the wood clone I stationed here

did, and thanks to our wireless radios,

I was in contact with him 'til just now.

-Hm?

-Well, then just what happened to Sai?

-Two things.

First, Sai had a conversation with Orochimaru.

Then he left with them and Kabuto.

-Huh?

But, why?

What do you think it means?

-What was it they talked about?

-They were too far away for my clone to overhear.

-I wonder.

What could he have said to him?

-Maybe he was forced to go along against his will.

-Kidnapped?

It didn't appear that way.

No, Sai approached Orochimaru and gave him something.

It's almost like he was trying to ingratiate himself.

-Hang on.

Sai may be one of the biggest jerks I've ever met,

but you're not really saying that he'd betray us, are you?

-Wait.

It's possible.

What?

-Long ago, Danzo and the late Sarutobi-sensei

competed with each other for the type of Hokage.

They were polar opposites.

He's the founder of a hardline martial faction founded

on rigid principles.

He's also Sai's superior.

As a student of the moderate Third Hokage

and granddaughter of the First Hokage, he despises me.

-Captain Yamato.

Do you know a man named Danzo?

-Yes, I know him.

-I've never heard of the guy.

Who is he?

-He's a member of the Hawk faction

that once opposed the Third Hokage.

-And Sai's superior.

A geezer who doesn't think too highly of the Third's legacy.

-Sai making contact with Orochimaru

could be part of a move on Danzo's part.

It's possible that Sai has his own mission.

One entrusted to him by Danzo.

Some kind of covert mission, and one very separate from our own.

-So, then, this whole mission, he was using us?

Just playing us all along until he

could get in touch with Orochimaru?

-That's the gist of it.

-This is only something of a wild guess,

but I have a feeling I know what's going on here.

Listen closely.

I think Danzo may be plotting the destruction

of the Leaf village.

[theme music]

KABUTO: Lord Orochimaru.

OROCHIMARU: Yes, Kabuto.

We're being followed.

I'm already well aware of it.

-It might be a mere pursuit, or it might be a trap.

OROCHIMARU: You suspect him?

KABUTO: Let's say I don't trust him yet.

OROCHIMARU: In any case, he says with us for now.

He could come in handy.

KABUTO: In other words--

OROCHIMARU: Either way you look at it, I

believe a corpse is in order.

NARUTO: Next time, The Consequences of Betrayal

[theme music]

-Today, I'll be talking about the First Hokage's necklace.

This crystal, worn by the First Hokage,

was formed from a rare kind of mineral.

It's said that it's worth three gold

mines and the mountains on top of them.

To Tsunade, the First Hokage's granddaughter,

it's a precious memento of her grandfather.

In the past, Tsunade once gave the necklace

to her younger brother, Nawaki, and on another occasion,

to her lover, Dan, But both of these loved ones

were taken from her by war before they

had a chance of fulfilling their life's dreams.

It was as if the necklace would accept no other master

than Tsunade, and it was said that anyone who

wore it would meet an untimely end.

Many years have passed, and know the necklace is worn by someone

with the same hopes and dreams as the others.

A young man named Naruto.

Whether the results are fortunate or fatal,

this is certainly Lady Tsunade's riskiest gamble ever.
