-He's not in this one, either.

-Come on.

Where are you?

-(VOICEOVER) We've come so far.

After all this time.

-Where are you?

-Where are you?

-Sasuke!

-Seems like they're having trouble finding Sasuke, huh?

After all, it is a rather large hideout.

It could take them a long time.

You know, what they really need is a detailed map of the place,

but the only map is the one inside my head.

-I know what you're driving at.

That I should allow you to show me the way.

-Hmm.

Look, my mission is to keep you here and stand guard over you.

If you think I'm going to let you back inside your hideout,

then you must be out of your mind.

[laughter]

-Well, suit yourself.

[panting]

-He's not in here, either.

-Naruto, I believe this is the last room on this level.

Let's move on to the next one and search there.

-Right.

-Naruto.

Remember, the others are searching too.

There's no need to push yourself so hard.

-Shut up.

This is no time to be resting.

We're so close to finding Sasuke.

(VOICEOVER) Damn it.

I'm still weak from being in the Nine-Tails state.

-He's not in here, either.

-Easy, Sakura.

Don't get too impatient now.

We're deep in Orochimaru's lair.

There could be a trap around every corner.

You got to be more careful.

We don't want him to learn we're here.

-I know all that.

But meanwhile, Sasuke is--

-Sakura.

-What about Naruto?

-Nothing yet.

But we will find Sasuke.

It's only a matter of time.

But until then, Sakura, you must be careful.

-I will.

[theme music - in japanese]

[gasp]

-So I see you finally woke up.

-Sai?

-It's strange.

You really are like him.

My older brother.

He was loudmouthed and impatient, just like you.

He also lacked any ball--

[grunt]

-Well, anyway, never mind.

But most of all, just like you, he

put all he had into everything he did.

Watching you has helped me remember him.

[cough]

-Sai?

[gasp]

[laughter]

-Oh!

-Sai.

Hey!

Sai.

[gulp]

-What's the matter?

[gasp]

-I remember.

I remember it now.

-Oh, I see.

-This is what I wanted to show him.

It's the picture of our dreams.

[approaching footsteps]

-Well now, Sai.

The time has come for you to choose

which side you're going to be on.

Hmm.

[gasp]

-Striking Shadow Snake!

So, you've chosen their side, I see, Sai.

Or whatever your name is.

-Leave this to me.

I'll take care of him.

Go on.

Get out of here and find Sasuke.

Get going!

-Very well.

Don't worry.

Wherever he is, I'll find him, and I'll save him.

-Hmm.

-So, you came all this way to take your friend Sasuke back,

eh?

Your persistence is impressive, but do you

think the outcome will be in your favor?

-I don't care if you are one of the legendary Sannin like Old

Lady Tsunade or Pervy Sage.

I will defeat you.

I will take Sasuke back.

-Not in here, either.

[clang]

-Naruto's chakra.

Something is going on.

Let's go.

-Right.

-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

[laughter]

-Striking Shadow Snake!

[grunting]

-Rasengan!

Ahhh!

[choking]

Ahh!

-Aww, what happened to all that power you had?

The power of the Nine-Tails.

Surely, there must be more to it than this.

Right?

[panting]

-The person who injured Sakura?

It was you, Naruto.

If you continue to rely on its power,

not only will you hurt yourself, Naruto,

but you'll be endangering the lives of those around you

as well.

Just as you did today.

If you want to save Sasuke, then do it using your own power.

If you wish to see Sasuke, then look with your eyes,

not the Nine-Tails'.

And if you want to protect Sakura,

forget about the fox spirit.

Use your strength.

[laughter]

-Come on.

Show me what you've got.

Striking Shadow Snake!

-Orochimaru again, huh?

-Hmm.

-(VOICEOVER) Naruto will be busy dealing with Orochimaru

for a while.

And I'm sure that Sakura and the captain

have gone to help him by now.

Ninja Art.

Super Beast Scroll.

[far-off growling]

-Naruto.

For now, I'm going to let you live.

-Hmm.

-I hope you'll repay me by eliminating at least one more

member of the Akatsuki.

-Say what?

-I'm afraid I have some important business with Sai

that can't wait.

So If you'll excuse me.

-Grr.

-Where is Sai?

-Sai?

He's somewhere looking for Sasuke.

If Orochimaru's gone looking for him, we better find him.

[mice squeaking]

-It'll use up the last of my chakra,

but I'll get my Shadow Clones to help in the search.

All right, captain, why don't you and Sakura take this way,

and I'll take the other?

-What's this?

-Hmm.

He finished it.

He finally remembered.

He told me.

It was a picture of their dream, the one

he wanted to show his brother.

-Look how both of them are smiling.

-I know.

I saw him smile for the first time when he drew it.

I mean, a real smile, from the heart.

-Huh?

[gasp]

-What's this doing here?

-What is it?

-Look.

This was in Sai's pack.

This is an ANBU Black Ops list of targets

that obviously Sai's been assigned to assassinate.

In other words, it's a bingo book.

-An assassination list?

-Why have those faces been crossed off?

-It can only mean that those are targets

that have already been assassinated.

-What's Sai doing with something like that?

[gasp]

-Look at this.

-But-- hold on, that's--

-Wait a minute.

I don't understand.

What is Sasuke doing on Sai's list?

[theme music - in japanese]

NARUTO: Sasuke on Sai's list?

I don't get it!

SAKURA: So all this time, Sai's real mission

was to assassinate Sasuke!

NARUTO: No.

It can't be.

Sai promised me he was going to save Sasuke.

YAMATO: I hate to say it, but it appears

that that was all nothing but an act.

NARUTO: But he-- What was that?

SAKURA: Could it mean Sai found him?

NARUTO: No.

YAMATO: I sense he's not far.

Hurry.

Let's move.

-Next time.

Reunion.

[theme music - in japanese]

-Our subject today is the ANBU Black Ops,

of which I used to be a member.

Its official title is the ANBU Black Ops Special Tactical

Unit.

Its operatives are carefully chosen

from among the village Shinobi.

Unlike other units, the ANBU Black Ops

are under the direct command of the Hokage.

Due to the highly sensitive nature of their missions,

the identities of these operatives are kept secret

and they always wear masks.

The information they share is guarded

by the strictest security.

Well, at least it's supposed to be.

Did you know the Great Kakashi-sensei

was an ANBU Black Op as well?

Here's some rare early film footage taken during his time

with the unit.

Of course, I'm not allowed to show you

most of the things that went on, but-- well, as you can see,

Kakashi always had a knack with ninja hounds.

Don't tell Kakashi I showed that to you.

Just keep it between us.
