Man...

I can't believe this! It's my first day off in forever. How did I end up getting sent on an errand?

Huh?

What was that, lightning?

No way! That's Sakura!

[screaming]

Are you okay?

Sakura! Talk to me! Sakura!

Hang on! I'll get you down from there!

"Road to Sakura"

Well,... from what I can see, it's nothing serious.

Bones are fine, internal organs okay...

Considering the height that you fell from, you're tough,... even for a student of mine.

However...

Hey. Do you know who I am?

Uh, well--

She's okay physically, but psychologically...

What's wrong with her, Lady Tsunade?

It appears to me that she has some kind of amnesia...

Yeah, I thought that might be it.

But this condition is only going to be temporary, isn't it?

It's really hard to say.

I've treated all sorts of patients, but I've never seen symptoms exactly like these before.

Are you saying that she might stay like this forever, then?

Oh, don't worry. She's only sixteen years old.

I mean, she still has her entire life ahead of her!

(clears throat)

Listen, I'll do some research on amnesia.

For now, we'll just need to keep an eye on her.

Sakura, what exactly are you doing?

So uh, have these things always been this big?!

I mean, they seem almost unnatural. Did they get bigger recently or something like that?

I was blessed with these by Heaven, I'll have you know!

[grunting]

[crying]

No, Lady Tsunade, please! Not her head! You mustn't hit her in the head!

Sometimes a shock fixes this kind of thing.

Sakura isn't herself right now. Try to go easy on her, all right?

Now, Sakura... Do you feel okay?

You're flat as a board.

[gasping and growling]

I'm completely normal! I have nothing to be ashamed--

Hey! Not the head!

Shizune, please! Take it easy, all right?!

You really shouldn't be acting so reckless and fearless, you know.

Because of you, I got caught in the crossfire.

But you seriously don't remember anything at all now?

Well, I suppose that this place looks vaguely familiar to me...

I mean, I guess I sort of know that this is the village where I used to live.

But beyond that, everything just starts getting all foggy for me.

Uh--

Look, why don't I take you home? You can relax there and rest up for a while.

Wouldn't you know it? Nobody's home! Good grief!

But I can't very well just leave you here, not when you're in this condition.

You're not pulling my leg, are you? This is really my home?

Sure is! You've lived right here your entire life, ever since you were born. It's where you grew up!

Since I was born? Really...?

All right... we'll have to ask you-know-who for help.

It looks like he's not home, either! Sure, when a friend really needs him, he's nowhere to be found!

Ino, where are we now?

It's the home where one of your teammates lives!

You've been on the same squad together forever, so I thought that coming here might help you

remember something.

What's this person like, anyway?

Well, let's see...

He's blonde and kinda dopey-looking, he wears orange clothes all the time, he's completely

scatterbrained, and he also loves ramen a lot.

Wait, ramen?

What? Did you remember?

This guy's name... Is it Char Siu?

Wakame? No wait... Corn?

Hold on, lemme think...

Ah! Nitamago!

No, not quite, but you're really close. It's Naruto. Does that help?

No, sorry. For a second there I thought I remembered something.

That's okay. It won't come back all at once.

But there's someone else that you've known for a long time. His name is Sasuke.

It's Sasuke...?

He's actually out of the Leaf Village right now, but...

He's a totally cool guy with black hair, and he's really handsome, and on top of that, he's-

He's a playboy?

Hm?

Oh, boy, I really have no idea why I said that!

just had this image pop right into my mind all of a sudden!

If she doesn't even remember Sasuke, this is more serious than I thought!

Sakura, I am going to find some way to make you better, I promise you I will. Now, come on!

What? Really? This is the first time I've ever seen someone with amnesia!

Did she forget me, too?

Are you kidding me? You're probably the first one that she forgot!

This is horrible! The bittersweet days of our youth together, all gone from your memories! I do

not know if I can stand it!

How cruel!

Were we... dating or something?

It's probably best if you just ignore him. That's simply the way he is, you know?

What's the prognosis, anyway? I mean, is she going to get better?

Lady Tsunade just said that she'd have to do more research.

But worst case, Sakura might stay this way.

Oh, no! That can't be! It isn't right!

All right, then! This is when we, as her friends, are gonna have to step up and help her out!

Now... is there anything at all that you can remember, even if it's small?

It just might give us a starting place to help you.

It's really weird. It's like I remember all of you guys, but everything about you's

just a little bit different than I recall.

What does that mean?

I don't have a clue, except that she seems totally confused.

Poor Sakura. All of this is so sad...

Okay, here's what we'll do.

What if all of us changed ourselves to match up with Sakura's memories?

Um... I know we all agreed to this, but...

Meow!

I'm the Hidden Leaf Village's top canine handler!

I can't stand being demoted to a cat handler, even for a friend!

[whimpering]

[screaming]

I never thought I'd face such psychological torture.

Hang in there, Shino. We're all in the same boat here.

But remember, we're doing this to help Sakura.

Oh, Lady Hinata, you poor unfortunate girl.

But tell me...

Why have you and I been separated from everyone else?

And why are we tied up like this to boot?!

I do not know.

Apparently the both of us, but especially you, Neji,

give Sakura the chills if we are too close to her.

What have I ever done?! This is absolutely outrageous!

Huh?!

I'm sorry about all of this, but Sakura asked us to do it.

How awful...

Now let me see here.... What were these two like?

Hey, Ino. Do you really think that this ridiculous stunt is going to help her regain her memory?

Yeah, everyone looks pretty weird and uncomfortable.

Maybe, but if this helps her get her memory back, I say it's worth it.

Just be a good sport and go along with it.

Hm!

Choji, wear this!

But this is- What's going on here?!

All right, Shikamaru. I'm really sorry to ask this, but would you act kind of like an idiot?

Huh?! Why would you want me to do that?!

And smile, if you can!

Come on, Shikamaru!

[gasping]

Weeee! Woo hooo! Wee! Yahooo... yippee.

I don't get it.

Sometimes I feel like my memory is just about to clear up, but then it all goes away.

At least you're trying hard. That's all you can really do.

But this entire thing just feels so gross, you know.

Like, why did I suddenly show up, falling out of the sky like that?

And I... I can vaguely remember everyone in the village, but all the details are a little off.

I still don't remember this house at all!

It's as though I came here for the very first time today.

[grunting]

What is it?

Ah! If it isn't Ino!

Auntie, Uncle! I'm glad you're home. Where have you two been?

They were having a big sale across the bridge, so of course we ended up buying way too much.

And now we're bringing home all of the spoils! They were heavy, and it was a long trip, but we

can't let the spoils spoil, can we?

Get it? Hilarious! [laughing]

Listen, something really bad happened.

What is it? What happened? Was there a battle?

I'd rather take a bubble bath than be caught in a bloodbath!

I think we've all had enough jokes for one day.

Look, you're practically scaring Ino away.

Well, whatever else is going on, your parents are still as intense as ever.

But now that they're back, you can rest easy. I'm sure they'll take good care of you.

What's going on?

Sakura...?

What in the--- why are you crying?!

I don't know... The moment I saw them...

I'm sorry...!

Hey! Where're you going?! Don't just run off!

Huh. So what do you suppose is going on with those two?

You don't think... that my jokes really were too much for her, do you...?!

I get it, so that's what it is!

Right.

Huh?

Hey, Sakura, wait up, would you?!

Sakura, c'mon! Stop!

[panting]

Listen, I don't know what happened back there that made you cry, but why'd you run away like that?

Did you hear me?

I don't know what happened, but I have this uncomfortable, painful feeling in my chest.

I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.

It's okay, but we can't leave things like this. Let's go back.

Until things calm down, I'll stay with you if you'd like.

Ino...

[gasping]

No...

My pendant is missing!

Huh? Your pendant?

Come to think of it, you were wearing some jewelry I'd never seen you with before.

Oh, no...! I've never taken it off before, and now it's gone!

It's something that I just can't lose!

Sakura?

Oh!

We finally found the two of you!

Auntie! Uncle!

This is just too much! I can't believe you ran all the way here at top speed.

[sighing]

Sakura, are you by any chance looking for something?

Well, losing things is an age-old problem... Just like old age!

[laughing]

Huh?

It's not like you to pass up shutting your Dad's bad jokes down!

Apparently, she lost something that's very important to her.

Oh. I see.

But listen, Sakura, this thing that you lost... Is this it?

[gasping]

You must have dropped it in front of the house earlier.

I was really surprised to see it, since it's exactly like the one I have.

[gasping]

Reporting in! Our third line of defense...

... it's--

Yes, I see.

Sakura!

[chuckling]

Thank you again.

Don't mention it. It's the least I can do after your parents--

Here.

Buying the exact same necklace... like father like daughter.

But from here on out, I'd be careful not to drop it, okay?

So that's what's happened.

Now, we chased after you. Isn't there anything that you'd like to say to us after going through all

that trouble?

Yeah, but, Uncle and Auntie, the thing is... Sakura isn't...

What's this for?!

Thank you both!

Well, it's not something to get all teary about!

I didn't know that nuts grew on cherry trees.

It's 'cause...

I'm just so happy!

I love you both so much.

Be sure to come home by suppertime!

Okay, I have no idea what just happened,

but I'm assuming that it means you've remembered everything?

Yes, everything.

Then tell me... What happened? Why'd you fall from way up there?

Well, earlier today...

... I was dispatched as a messenger by Lady Hokage.

Okay, it should be just ahead.

Huh?

[screaming]

I don't know what it was, but some powerful force reeled me in.

And when I came to, I was here.

I'm don't think that I'm the Sakura that you know.

I'm not actually from this world.

Hold on, what are you talking about, this world?

Oh, boy. I guess your memory must still be affected.

Ino!

Don't worry, Sakura. I'll stay with you for the long haul. I'll even study up on amnesia!

[gasping]

Sakura! You're glowing!

Ino.

Thank you for being my friend here, as well.

Huh? I don't get it! What's going on?!

Hey, Sakura!

Uh-- she just... faded away!

What just happened? Was it a Summoning?

But I don't see any jutsu formulas anywhere.

I don't think that I'm the Sakura that you know...

No way! It's impossible.

That couldn't really be what happened... Because if it's true, then...

Where did MY Sakura go?!

Ninja Network News!

Welcome and good evening, I'm Mabui of the Hidden Cloud.

I'm Shikaku Nara of the Hidden Leaf.

Now that the Fourth Great Ninja War has broken out in earnest, various campaigns are unfolding

in the theater of operations.

The battlefields are split into three main groups.

Darui's First Company and Kitsuchi's Second Company are deployed on the Coastal Front.

Gaara's Fourth Company is facing the previous Kage on the Desert Front.

Kakashi's Third Company and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are engaged on the front lines.

Mifune's Fifth Company is en route to provide support for the Commando Unit.

Late breaking news: on the Coastal Front, the formidable enemies Kinkaku and Ginkaku have

been successfully sealed.

Now, for a live report from the scene, we go to Samui from the First Company!

Oh, it seems there was a mistake. That's Darui.

It appears that we don't have any audio, either. What as happened to Samui?

Well, why don't we go back to the desert front, then?

The enemies are the Second Mizukage, The Second Tsuchikage,

the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Raikage.

To be honest, it's hard to see a connection between them.

Yes, all of them do come from different time periods, after all.

Let's see if we can go to the scene. Here's Temari from the Fourth Company.

[inaudible crowd yelling]

Uh, Temari...?

Temari?

The Desert Front appears to be engulfed in a sandstorm.

I wonder how things are on the front lines...

The Third Company has sealed one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Zabuza Momochi,

along with his subordinate.

Let's go to Tajiki, who's there. Tajiki?

It doesn't look like we'll be able to get a hold of him right now...

So onto the main issue in this Fourth Great Ninja War. The Jinchuriki of the Eight and Nine Tails,

Lord Killer Bee and Naruto.

In order to hide from Madara Uchiha... they've been isolated on Turtle Island.

Seizing this opportunity, Naruto is currently undergoing training to learn the Tailed Beast Bomb.

[yelling]

Don't send it my way, I'll just send it back to you, hey!

So you say, but it's not your day!

Learn balance while we play. And count it, okay?

Ah! One to two, the square root of three?

Fool ya fool! For a fool you're quite the right triangle.

I'm trying my best, you know! Can't you see?

Ahhhhh!

Huh... what kind of training is that...?

Let's go talk to Naruto and see what we can find out directly from him! Naru--!

Stop right there! Naruto doesn't even know that the war has broken out yet!

You're right. Sorry about that.

I think we should just leave it at that for tonight.

Then we'll see you again next time!

All right! We're out!

Thanks, everyone!

Did I do ok?

Why stay with the shinobi? You are staunchly samurai.

You serve shinobi, how can you still call yourselves samurai?

We do not serve the shinobi. The one master that we follow has never changed since the olden

days, and that master... is called peace!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Mifune vs. Hanzo.

We pledge ourselves to peace, and then act upon that conviction!
