Original subtitles

[Jiraiya] If you insist on going after Sasuke, then you'll get no training from me.

[gasp]

I'll have the Anbu Black Ops assigned to guard you,

to prevent you from leaving the village.

You're not just some ordinary kid, you know. You've got the Nine-Tails.

Behave like a kid, keep refusing to listen to what I tell you,

and I'll have no choice but to do what I have to do.

Eventually, you're going to have to face enemies far worse than Orochimaru and it's time you started preparing for them.

And the first thing is, give up on Sasuke.

What happened was destined to happen.

Dismiss him from your mind and move on.

To be a shinobi, you need more than strength and jutsu.

You must acquire the judgment to make the right decisions.

You must become smarter.

The longer that you're a fool, The harder it'll be for you to live in this shinobi world.

All right, then fine.

If being smarter means what you say it does, I'll remain a fool my entire life.

I'm going after him, and I'll do it alone if I have to!

I'll make my own awesome jutsu!

And whenever the Akatsuki show up, I'll smack 'em down!

The thought of my leaving you to come up with Jutsu on your own.

Like that idiotic "Sexy Jutsu" of yours.

Rrh.

This is more than foolish. It's so colossally foolish it might even work.

We gotta lotta work to do when you get outta the hospital.

So be ready to hit the ground running.

See ya.

You got it!

Oh!

Just you watch.

C'mon, let's go! Sometime this year'd be nice!

Yeah, okay, okay! I'm coming!

Gutsy Master and Student: The Training

But I don't understand;

why do I have to train to break free of genjutsu now?

[sigh]

Come on, Naruto, think for a minute;

don't you remember the reason for this training?

Huh?

Just listen to me, Sasuke!

I'm telling you, I'm not going to let Orochimaru get ahold of you!

If you won't listen, then I'm just going to break single every bone in your body if that's what it takes to stop you!

I have had enough! What are you?!

I'm your friend, Sasuke!

That's why I'm telling you, I won't let the likes of Orochimaru get you!

I was too weak. That's why I wasn't able to stop him then.

I couldn't bring him back!

That's the reason I'm doing all this.

So I can become stronger, for his sake!

Yep. You got that right.

But then, why--?!

'Cause Sasuke possesses the Sharingan!

[Jiraiya] Someone with the Sharingan can manipulate their visual prowess

and naturally will be good at genjutsu.

Eventually, Sasuke will learn to master his ability, if he hasn't already.

If you can't defend yourself against it, how do you expect to bring him back?

Ugh...

Okay, I get it.

Now as you know, genjutsu is when the enemy takes control of your inner chakra and manipulates it.

However, if you can create a disturbance within your own chakra,

then you prevent the genjutsu from working, and you can break free.

Uhh. I don't know if I can do something like that.

Well, guess what, kid? You already have some experience doing that!

What? I do?!

Sure you do! During your Rasengan training,

you learned to release your chakra and rotate it in your palms, remember?

Watch carefully! All eyes on the balloon!

Hup!

Oh! And that's it?!

Yep! Instead of releasing and rotating chakra into your palms,

you do it inside your body.

Then this training's gonna be a piece of cake!

All right, then. Let's get some real practice at breaking genjutsu!

Huh?!

Summoning Jutsu!

Well, as I live and breathe; if it isn't Jiraiya Honey!

First let me thank you for coming all this way, Mr. Gamariki.

Come now; were all friends. No need to be so formal!

Would ya get off me; I can't breathe!

Oh, and who might this cute boy be?

[Jiraiya] That's Naruto.

Hwaah! Whoa, who is this guy?!

Nice to meet you, Naruto-boy!

You know, you're creeping me out.

I have a favor to ask you, Mr. Gamariki.

I need to teach this kid how to break genjutsu, and I could really use your help with that.

All right. I suppose I can help you out.

Especially since none other than Jiraiya Honey is asking!

Come on, Naruto, don't be rude! Ask him nicely! Stop it, knock it off; what do you think you're doing?! Let go!

Oh, he is just so adorable!

Let's jump right into it, Naruto boy!

Huh? What?!

I'll be very gentle, I promise you!

[Naruto] Yaaah!

[kissing] Mmmwah!

Where am I? And what exactly is this weird place?!

Huh?

Pervy Sage?

It's me! Pervy Sage!

Where the heck are we?

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

Yaaahhhh!

You're inside the world of my genjutsu now, Naruto-boy.

Stay back!

Huh?

Haa ha ha ha ha ha!

Hwaaahhh!

Yaah!

Can't run away from me here!

All right, that's it. I gotta break this genjutsu fast and get out of this creepy place!

I can do this! Just manipulate the chakra inside my body...

Aum!

Wow, I'd forgotten how incredibly delicious these dumplings are.

Hey, look...

[dreamlike moaning]

Oh, boy. What is that kid doing this time?!

I said release and rotate it inside you, not outside!

[concentrating]

Haa!

Ouufff!

What do you think you're doing, you fool?!

Release!

Huh?

Woah, so what happened to him?

You happened to him.

You tried to disrupt chakra in the genjutsu world,

but you ended up releasing it into reality instead and you hit him!

[sigh] So I didn't pull it off, did i?

Looks like we're going to have to go back to basic chakra control first and then we'll move on to actual training.

I doubt that boy and I are going to get along very well.

Focus! Rapidly rotate the chakra inside.

Uwaah!

Try it once again!

Rgh! This is ridiculous! It's even harder than learning the Rasengan!

Hm!

Rapidly rotate the chakra inside...

That's it! You're getting it!

Wah!

Rrgh...

You keep releasing it, not disrupting it.

You've got a long way to go, kid.

Huwah!

[Jiraiya] Well... Good thing we have lots of time.

[Naruto] [weary moan]

Hm?

I'm close, Pervy Sage.

Call it a day for now and have some food;

you need to keep up your strength, all right?

Here, eat.

Huh?

[snoring]

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Why'dja choose me, huh?!

I must be a potential genius in the making!

Aw man, it's just like I always thought!

The truth is, kid, a long time ago the Fourth Hokage was my student.

And you bear such a striking resemblance to the Fourth that it's almost laughable.

Hmm?

Sorry, that's the only reason I've got for ya.

So wait, I'm like the Fourth?

[snoring]

[Jiraiya] Naruto is Minato's son and his precious legacy. He's like my grandson.

If Naruto carries on my will, then...

[splashing]

[concentrating] Mmmmmmm...

A-hah!

Good! Guess we can move to the next stage of training!

Why are we going somewhere different to practice this, anyway?

Is there some great genjutsu master where we're heading or something like that?

We're going to a village that's surrounded by a forest, a very special kind of forest.

A magnetic field runs through the whole place, and it affects the flow of chakra in people's minds.

If someone takes the wrong path in those woods,

they could find themselves in a situation similar to being under a genjutsu.

And that makes this forest the perfect place to finish up your genjutsu training.

Cool! Sounds like my kind of fun!

Hurry up! Let's do this!

Say, Pervy Sage, Are we gonna reach this village anytime soon?

Just relax; we're almost there.

What? How can you tell; I can't see a thing!

Don't wander off or you'll end up in a genjutsu!

Ow! What the hell, Pervy Sage?!

Hm?

Why is there a wall here?!

I don't know. There was nothing like this here the last time I came through this way.

Hwaah! [coughing]

It's pepper gas. It's got quite a kick.

Go away!

Huh?

Hey, what's the big idea?!

Listen, we're not your enemies. Okay?

Huh?

Wait, aren't you Tanishi?

Huh?

I'm Jiraiya; your parents put me up when I came here for research on a novel.

Really?

I remember you quite well. I recognize that birthmark you've got on your forehead.

What's going on? You actually know this kid, Pervy Sage?

How are your parents Sukune and Yone doing? I'd sure like to say hello to them.

No! Shut up!

Just leave! No one's allowed in this village!

Oh, yeah? Why not?

Get lost!

What's going on, Tanishi?

[gasp]

Everything okay?!

Quick, go! There will be trouble if they see you!

No, just tell us what's going on he--

Look, let's take our leave for now, huh?

What the heck was up with all that back there?!

I'm not sure; it was a peaceful village when I was here last.

But whatever's going on back there, it's made villagers who used to be friendly to travelers

put up a wall to keep everyone out and even take up arms against them.

Seems to me this isn't something we can simply walk away from.

I'll take over guard duty.

Thanks.

There are a couple of suspicious guys hanging around. So stay alert!

I will.

Bet you're tired from being on guard duty all night.

Go ahead and get some shut-eye, Tanishi.

Okay.

[sigh]

[gasp]

Don't make a sound. You understand?

We're just here to help you.

I'd like you to tell me what's going on in the village.

sure. But please put that kunai down!

[relieved sigh]

[Jiraiya] Sorry if I frightened you. I just wanted to avoid causing a commotion.

Where's Sukune? I didn't see him around.

Please just go.

If they find out that the two of you are here, the other villagers will be killed.

Hmm?

What do you mean? What's going on here?!

We know the power this area possesses, and we've come to take it!

We'll use the unique properties of the forest to perfect our genjutsu!

All you villagers can live inside my genjutsu.

Mom...

(startled reax/shielding self effort)

Agh!

Huh?

Hm?

Father!

Illusions have kept our village safe, and we have always lived in harmony with them.

We know how to break free of illusions as well.

By using these spheres made of chili pepper gas.

Have no fear, everyone!

Because I, Sukune, promise to protect every one of you!

[relieved gasps]

Now, you guys,

Get out of our village while you still can!

Not such a smart move, trying to stand in my way.

Heh. The illusions made by the forest that surrounds us are blessings meant to keep our village safe.

They're not for use by the likes of you!

None of us would ever help out scum like you people!

Augh!

[gasp]

Augh!

What was that?

Starting now I, Kandachi, shall rule this village!

And as an insurance policy, the women and children are my hostages!

If any word about what happened here leaks out of the village,

then every last one of the hostages will die!

Never gonna happen.

There's no way that we'd let you come in here and walk all over us!

Dagh!

Dad! No! No!

That won't stop me!

Augh!

Augh! Agh! Dagh!

Trying to defy me is useless!

[Sukune] [getting beat up] Ugh! Aggh! Uagh!

Dad! Just stop!

Please, just give up!

This village...

Don't be foolish! Stop!

...does not...

...belong to you!

Dad, no!

[Sukune getting pummeled]

They murdered my father.

And then the women and children were taken hostage somewhere.

There's no way that the men can risk fighting back.

So that's what happened here.

Tanishi, your dad was a great man.

Shut up! My dad was a fool.

What do you mean?! He was a brave man who tried to save your entire village!

Whatever. I'm not going to be a fool like him!

Threw his life away to stand against someone he couldn't defeat!

Now listen-- Huh?

If we don't make trouble, then no one will get killed. That's our only option!

Please, you guys. Don't do anything to make this worse; just leave before they find you!

How can you call yourself a--?!

Understood!

Pervy Sage?

Ah! You'll go?

Ooh...

I'm sorry.

I understand why you want us to leave.

But I owe the people of this village. And I won't leave them to suffer through this alone.

Now that's more like it!

Tanishi?!

Tanishi! Is this one of the two suspicious men that you mentioned seeing before?

Yeah! Damn right! Ah, I mean, yes, sir!

They call me the Great Jiraiya, and yet I was so careless that this mere boy caught me!

We'd better take him to see Lord Kandachi.

Yeah!

The other one may still be wandering around nearby.

So keep your eyes open!

Got it! Got it!

[Naruto] That must be the place!

Yeah, I think you're right.

Looks like that's where they've been keeping all the hostages.

[Tanishi] That's why I told you guys to stay out of this!

[Jiraiya] You're wrong. Did you actually believe that he would ever release the hostages?

[Tanishi] But...

[Jiraiya] Tanishi, don't forget everything your father did!

Think about why he chose to fight back!

If you keep on believing that your father died a senseless death,

then this village will never be saved!

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Record of the Gutsy Ninja Master and Student"

[Naruto] We'll never let you guys take over this village!
