[approaching footsteps]

[wind starts blowing]

-Huh?

Uh.

-Hey!

What are you doing?

Hurry up, will ya'?

We're going to leave you behind.

-(THINKING) Is he trembling?

-Unh!

(WHISPERING) Oh.

[laughs] (THINKING) I can totally train on a mission

if I really try.

-(THINKING) Of course!

He must be scared.

-Huh?

-(THINKING) It was that conversation last night.

NARUTO: Come on.

What could be taking Captain Yamato so long?

-I know, right?

I wonder where he went off to.

[rustling brush]

-(ALL TOGETHER) Hm?

NARUTO: Ah!

You finally showed up!

Yikes!

-[laughing]

-Uh.

Captain Yamato, don't scare us like that.

-Ah, sorry.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

-Ah.

Believe me, you're scary enough without putting

on some kind of spooky act.

-[laughs] Well, what can I say?

You're an easy target, Naruto.

-Ah.

Anyway, Captain, back to what we were talking about earlier.

Why would anyone want to rob from a grave?

It's awful.

-It is.

Often the graves of wealthy people are targeted.

Thieves try to steal any valuable objects buried

in the tomb.

But in these robberies, the bodies and the treasures

were undisturbed.

It's a very troubling case.

Every robbery has happened in the same area,

all within five kilometers of the Fire Temple, where

we're all headed now.

NARUTO: The Fire Temple?

-Mm-hm.

They hired us for this mission.

Catching thieves is a simple-enough job,

but they specifically wanted Leaf Village ninja.

So something tells me there's more to it than that.

As a matter of fact, I've learned

there are four hidden tombs in the area around the temple.

-Do you think there's any chance the grave robbers could've

been targeting those hidden tombs?

-Mm-hm.

There's a strong possibility.

-What's up with these hidden tombs?

What are they?

YAMATO: Even in death, the body of a ninja

contains a wealth of information.

To some, that knowledge is a goldmine.

Remember your fight with Sasori?

--[gasp] He turned the body of the third Kazekage into one

of his puppets.

YAMATO: That's right.

The more powerful the ninja was, the more useful they can be.

In order to protect the tombs from thieves and raiders,

barriers are often set up, and they're

built in secret locations.

That's what we'll be dealing with.

-So I guess some really amazing ninja

must be resting inside those hidden tombs, huh?

-Indeed.

Especially these four.

The information they hold is incredibly valuable.

-That' crazy!

-On the other hand, something else could be going on here.

It's quite possible that the tombs

weren't desecrated from the outside.

-Huh?

YAMATO: In other words, those bodies came back from the dead!

-Yah! [gasps]

-Kidding!

[laughs]

-(THINKING) Yes.

Naruto must have believed Captain Yamato's story.

-(THINKING) I can do it! [inhales]

-Nuh.

OK.

This is the rendezvous point.

A group from the Fire Temple will

be arriving here to meet us shortly.

[high-pitched buzzing]

-[sigh]

--[chuckling] [fake yawn] Oh, man.

I'm tired, too.

Got to take a load off.

Unh. [sigh]

[high-pitched buzz continues]

--[growls] (YELLS) You're invading my space!

Go sit over there!

-[quiet chattering]

SAI: Hey!

Take it easy.

No yelling.

(THINKING) Yeah.

He's definitely scared.

-The client's late.

What, did we stop at the wrong landmark?

I'm going to go look over there.

-All right.

I'll go with you.

-What?

Wait!

I'm going too.

-No.

You and Sai need to stay put.

Otherwise, we might miss the group if they show up.

-Mm-mm.

Well, all right then.

-Don't worry.

-(WHISPER) Huh?

-Mm.

-(REASSURING) I'll be right here with you, Naruto.

-Eh-heh.

[deep sigh]

[fluttering in bushes]

Oh!

[shuddering] [breathes out] Quit trying to scare me!

-(READING SILENTLY) When a friend is scared or frightened

about something, gently place your hand around

their shoulder, let them know they're not alone,

and show them some tenderness.

Hm.

-Dah!

Heh.

Huh.

[erratic breathing]

-Uh-oh.

This may be tougher than I thought.

-Deh [gasp] Eh hah Ah!

What are you doing?

-I, uh, was showing you some tenderness?

-(YELLING) Well,l just don't OK?

I'm not into stuff like that!

-Wait.

Hold on.

That isn't what I meant at all!

Uh, let's see, if a friend misunderstands you, then--

-(IRRITATED) Us being together is too dangerous.

Where's Sakura?

I'm going to go find her.

---and then you can-- Oh!

N-Naruto!

I don't understand.

What on Earth could I have done wrong?

-Man, sometimes I just don't understand

how that guy's brain works one bit.

[bushes rustle]

Sakura, that you?

(THINKING) Oh, no!

It's a grave robber!

What?

It's a boar!

[angry grunts]

No-no!

Whoa!

Yah!

Dah-dah-dah.

Boy, I'm sorry!

No, don't follow me.

Uh, gah, uh.

Stop it!

Stop!

Unh, heh, heh, jeh.

Eyah, huh-huh, yah, heh, heh, heh!

Heh!

[low heavy squeal]

Eh.

[sighs] Hm?

What the heck?

Hold on!

This seems familiar.

A barrier?

[gasps]

[chant-like wind]

[gasps] Wait a sec.

Is this--?

A hidden tomb!

[gasp]

[growl-like wind]

This place is kinda spooky.

[torch hisses to life]

The coffin's not here!

Am I too late?

[approaching footsteps]

Huh?

Unh! (YELLS) Who's there?

(THINKING) That guy!

He must be the grave robber!

[wind suddenly howls]

(THINKING) That wind.

Unh!

Uhah!

[hits ceiling hard]

Unh!

Huh.

[wind intensifies]

What the--?

-Take this.

Beast Wave Palm!

[low rumble]

[loud crash and wind]

Unh!

[metallic clang]

Unh!

Hunh!

-Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

-[gasp] [exhales]

-(ONE AFTER ANOTHER) Yah!

Uh-oh.

Not this again.

-Beast Wave Palm!

Yah!

Unh.

-(THINKING) Damn it!

That wind jutsu is really getting on my nerves.

Wait!

Wind?

Hey, pal, I see you use wind cha--

-You must repent!

I will give you three seconds.

Sorry, time is up.

Now, onto your divine punishment.

-Urgh.

What is it with this guy?

Sorry, but you're the one who's going to get punished.

Shadow Clone jutsu!

-Beast Wave Palm!

-Scatter!

-[gasp]

-Argh-ah!

[blade clanging, blows landing]

It's coming, pal!

-Unh!

Unh, argh!

-Beast Wave Gale Palm!

Unh, unh, rhm.

-Argh, unh, unh.

Ah!

Unh.

-Unh-uh.

Unh.

-Oh.

Huh?

-Die!

MALE: Sora!

Enough!

-Unh?

-Huh.

Ah!

[approaching footsteps]

-Naruto!

-Unh.

[sighs] Lord Chiriku, all of your concerns were correct.

On the way out to meet our guests,

I got nervous about the Hidden Tomb,

so I went to check in on it.

The barrier had already been broken, the coffin was gone,

and I found this guy just standing there.

-Hm?

(IRATE) Hold on.

Are you trying to blame me for your crime?

You're the one who did this, pal, not me!

-(ANGRILY) What are you talking about?

You were in the hidden tomb before I even got there!

-Oh, yeah? (YELLING) Well, the coffin

was gone by the time I showed up.

-And who can corroborate your story?

-Who can corroborate your story?

-I'll make you repent for this, bastard!

-I'd like to see you try!

-All right.

Let's go.

Come on!

-And I'll kick your butt anytime and any place!

Yoi-yu.

-Hey-- unh.

-Greetings my brothers from the Leaf Village.

I am from the Fire Temple.

My name is Chiriku.

There must have been some sort of misunderstanding

about the rendezvous location, so we missed each other.

My deepest apologies.

-No way!

This idiot is one of the guests?

And he's really with the Leaf Village?

-Which means, this guy is--?

-He's a monk-in-training at the Fire Temple,

and his name is Sora.

-Sora?

Nice to meet you.

My name's Yamato.

I'm captain of our team.

This guy here is Naruto, and--

-I'm Sakura.

-Hello there.

My name is Sai.

-But Master, I told you.

We don't need any help from the Leaf Village.

-Sora.

--[panting] Lord Chiriku, Lord Kitane's coffin has indeed been

taken.

The thieves left no evidence whatsoever.

The barrier seal was broken with ease.

Whoever did this must be a highly-skilled ninja.

--[sighs] Well, if we're facing a shinobi with great ability,

then it was wise to contact the Leaf.

The two of you, head back at once

and arrange guards for the other three hidden tombs,

and tighten security around the Fire Temple

to emergency readiness.

-(TOGETHER) Yes, sir.

-For now, let us return to the Fire Temple.

-Yes.

We will at once.

[receding footsteps]

-Hey!

Tell me something.

Was that a wind nature chakra back there?

(IRRITATED) Listen, don't ignore someone

when they're talking to you.

I'm asking about that jutsu of yours.

It came from this hand, didn't it?

-Don't touch me!

-[growls]

-[scoffs]

-What a jerk.

-Oh.

-Argh!

(WEARILY) Are we almost there yet?

Huh?

[exhales]

I've seen this place before.

In a dream.

[ending theme music]

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Urrh!

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): What's up, Naruto?

What are you so annoyed about?

-It's that Sora guy.

The way he's moving.

It's like he's pretending to train.

Just going through the motions.

What's up with that?

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Really?

It looks like he's training pretty hard.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): That's not what I meant!

Ah, it's just that compared to before when he fought me, ahh!

That does it.

I'm going to tell him what's what.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Huh?

Wait!

Hey, Naruto!

For crying out loud, get back here!

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Next time, Loneliness.
