Original subtitles

It's serious! Someone has come down into our village!

Is it Lord Orochimaru?

Don't know. We haven't been able to confirm who it is yet.

Well, if it is Lord Orochimaru, we will

welcome him.

If it's a Leaf pursuer...

...then we'll take care of them!

Where am I?

What a strange place...

What is he doing here?

Did he follow me?

It looks like this really is a secret hideout.

It's a good thing I found those tracks.

Have I stumbled upon something important?

Mist? No, it's not...

This isn't an ordinary diversion. All right, then.

I'm going to find out who you really are!

[groaning]

With that mask. You must be an ANBU from the Leaf!

You got me! But who are you?

What exactly are you doing here!

What is that jutsu?!

That's enough. I'll handle it.

[groaning]

Body Oxidation Jutsu.

I'll corrode your body from the inside.

[groaning]

Your chakra, blood, organs, nerves, bone, and muscles.

They'll oxidize and deteriorate.

Now, how does this feel?!

[grunting]

Kakashi Hatake...

I know what your goal is!

But you will not lay a hand on Lord Orochimaru.

Because, before you can do so...

We will simply get rid of you!

Wood Style!

Stop it! You can't let him die!

Why not? He's an agent of the Hidden Leaf!

I can get useful information out of

him about crossing the border.

Who cares?! We'll kill anyone who threatens

Lord Orochimaru.

Well, then I'll have to take both of you down.

[groaning]

You're brave, taking a stand like that. But know this.

If you're wrong about letting him live.

What happened to him will happen to you, too.

Wood Style! He's the one from the Foundation.

It seems you're finally awake. All right, I'm gonna

ask you some questions now.

First, where are we? And what are you doing here?

[chuckle] I'm the one who's going to be asking

the questions here.

Wood Style!

[grunting]

How did you find out about this place?

[grunt] I found it by chance. Of all the luck.

[grunting]

I'm sure you Leaf shinobi can handle

this on your own.

How much does the Hidden Leaf Village know about Lord

Orochimaru and his plans?

[grunting]

Fine, don't talk. I'm very patient.

In time, you'll tell me everything...

Are you all right?

Sorry, that was our only choice.

You mean, you...

Lord Danzo's orders. I'm supposed to wait

here for Lord Orochimaru.

Just as I thought... You intend on allowing

Orochimaru to escape.

Really, we're both after the same thing.

Lord Danzo's only thinking about the safety

of the Hidden Leaf.

What we're most concerned about is Lord

Orochimaru leaving the village's borders.

And that's why Lord Danzo has send me to

stop that from happening.

I wonder about that...

Orochimaru is seriously wounded. If he can't move,

obtaining intel is useless.

He might not even reach this location.

Maybe that's why intel's so important.

By the way, are those other guys connected to

Orochimaru somehow? Who are they?

The Iburi Clan.

They have the ability to transform their

bodies into smoke.

Orochimaru discovered them and apparently

performed experiments on them.

Experiments?

Now, what I'm about to tell you is merely hearsay.

But I believe that someone is continuing the

experiments and trying to implant the cells of

Lord Hashirama.

Transformation into smoke...

If I have to fight them again, that jutsu

will be a real nuisance.

When that smoke got inside me before, I lost

all control of my body.

Is that so?

[gasp]

I should have known.

Ultimately, Danzo is of the Hidden Leaf.

And right now, Lord Orochimaru is just another

enemy, isn't that right, Kinoe?!

Bastard! You were plotting since the beginning!

There are too many here to take on.

We will stand firm alongside Lord Orochimaru.

And both of you will die for Lord Orochimaru's sake!

[gasp]

Tenzo...

For Lord Orochimaru's sake. No...

Tenzo!

Hm?

I won't let you touch Tenzo!

Tenzo?

Are you still going on about that?

I know! I know, all right!

Tenzo is already gone, isn't he?

But...

Not again! I won't let you!

Tenzo!

Yukimi...

Are you seriously...

Betraying Lord Orochimaru?!

Come on! This way!

What is going on?

Follow me, Tenzo!

What does this path connect to?

It leads outside!

[gasp]

You're going to help us escape from Orochimaru?

I don't know.

Kinoe!

Yeah, okay.

Hey, uh, are we really going outside now?

Yes!

But if you go outside aren't you afraid of the wind?

It's just there's something that I really

want to see out there.

Huh?

What is it?

You hear it? Listen!

Huh?

Just listen carefully. It's faint, but you can hear it.

Yeah! I hear it!

I really want to see it, to find out where all those

sounds come from.

Together with you, Tenzo!

[gasp]

Damn it!

Wha--?! What, and I just get left behind here?

Wahoo! [giggling]

This really isn't fair!

Please! You have to get out of my body.

No, not yet! Till we reach the source of that sound,

we'll be together, just the two of us.

[sigh]

[grunts] This feels so good!

Right now, I feel like the two of us can do anything!

The two of us.

Finally, I'm out.

I thought climbing straight up would do it,

but it sure wasn't easy.

Damn it, I've had nothing but bad luck today.

[gasp]

Who's there?

Where is Yukimi?

Sorry, I don't have a clue.

Defying me again, huh?

Have you forgotten the pain you experienced earlier?

If you're smoke, then I'll do this!

You're mine!

[grunting]

[excited scream]

That's the sound! I hear it so clearly!

Isn't this so exciting, Tenzo?!

Yeah, well...

Oh. All right, hold on.

This spot should be good. Now, just stay still.

Okay!

It's all right now!

Come on, let's go!

Wow, I'm here! So this is it!

Isn't it amazing? There're so many people!

Oh, I smell something tasty! What could it be, Tenzo?!

Oh, my!

I know! She's so loud!

Can you believe those guys?! Ugh, how rude!

Come on! What did you think you were doing?

Look at this! You've completely ruined

our merchandise!

Tadah!

Tenzo! What do you think?!

It, uh... looks good on you.

The only way to defeat him is with a surprise attack!

[gasp]

Damn it!

[chuckle]

[grunting]

[grunting]

It's over! So talk! Where's Yukimi?!

Huh?

So, that was a clone, huh?

Tell me, how does it feel to take down your own clone?

[grunting]

[screaming]

Yukimi...

You are the only one who can help Lord Orochimaru.

What are you talking about?! Hey!

How was it?

Did you have fun?

Yeah, but now that I've seen it myself, it

wasn't really as great as I thought it would be.

What do you mean? Why's that?

It's just that the festival was completely different

from what I'd imagined.

If I'd come by myself, I might not even

have known what to do.

But since it was the two of us, Tenzo, it

was loads of fun!

You're right...

"Since it was the two of us."

I was a test subject too.

I was poked, prodded, and stared at it was so painful.

I could hardly bear it.

And many of my friends even died.

When you're all alone, the only thing you

really think about is dying.

But when there are two of you.

The only thing you can think about is surviving.

Do you want to run away somewhere... together?!

You've gotta be kidding me.

Let's return to your village, together.

You're going to have to go back there immediately.

It's important.

Let's go. Now.

Wait just a minute, Kakashi! Has something happened?

Kinoe!

This girl is crucial to the effort to capture

Orochimaru. He's going to go to the village all

because she exists.

We are all of no use...

...we have to offer young Yukimi's blood to Lord

Orochimaru.

She's bait...

This is still a mission.

My mission is just as you suspected, Kakashi. I'm

supposed to allow Orochimaru to get away.

What?!

Kinoe!

My name is Tenzo!

Don't mess around!

[chuckle]

Tenzo, wait! What's the matter?!

What happened back there?!

Lord Orochimaru...

Inferior things are useless. Well then, it

must be your blood!

Only with the blood of the young will this ability

manifest itself.

But that's--! You said you'd help guide us

to the next generation.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Their Own Paths"

Yukimi!
