Listen, guys, since we already have both of the scrolls we need, I think we should just go for the goal.

I hear you. I wish that we could!

But there's a big risk of getting ambushed that way.

We should stick to Sakura's plan and take the detour, okay?

(Choji) Sakura...?

(Ino) Huh? Sakura!

[labored breathing]

Sakura...

Two reservoirs... Two...

Next, I'm going to teach you the jutsu to revive all of the organs, the entire system.

Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu.

Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu?

This isn't a jutsu that revolves around healing skills.

It's the same kind of regeneration jutsu that the First Hokage used.

He had such immense amounts of chakra that he could activate it without weaving signs.

But I don't have that much chakra! How can I do it?!

That is why I have one other jutsu to teach you.

The 100 Healings Jutsu.

The 100 Healings Jutsu?

Even I don't have as much chakra as the First Hokage. And that's why I developed this jutsu.

By using it, you're able to keep an enormous amount of chakra in reserve.

When you combine those two jutsu, the body will continue to regenerate,... keeping you from dying.

(Sakura) Amazing...

(Lady Tsunade) However, there's a problem with The 100 Healings Jutsu.

Hm?

Not only does it require extremely delicate chakra control, you must continue to

amass chakra for a total of three years.

(Sakura) Three years...?

(Tsunade) Good. Your keeping a constant amount of chakra infused.

You must maintain that state for three years!

[grunt] I have to keep this up for three years?!

[weak attack cry]

(Tsunade) Sakura!

[labored breathing]

Due to the effects of The 100 Healings, your normal chakra level has become extremely low.

This shortage will be a hindrance to you during healing and battle.

As a result, I can't let you perform any surgery... Or go onto the battlefield.

The 100 Healings Jutsu creates a smaller second reserve in which to store the saved-up chakra...

If I keep two reserves of chakra and make sure I use each of them for their specific purpose...

I should be able to perform surgery... and fight in battles, too!

[small groan]

[gasp]

Hey, Choji...! Ino! What...?

(Sakura) A doll? Is it an enemy?

(Saya) [chuckle] You're such a good girl...

...to have found me some prey. Thank you.

[gulp]

Sakura, how are you doing, physically?

Good, since you let me rest.

Come on, Elder Sister, let's hurry up and kill them so that we can move on.

Don't be so hasty, Sana. You'll make Saya mad.

I'm sure that Elder Sister wants to get this over with as quickly as possible, too.

(Sana) Right, Elder Sister...?

[laughter] All right!

Saya, damn you...!

Lady Saya... please!

No... I shall take my time... and curse these victims that my doll has found for me.

Th-Then which one will we kill first, Lady Saya?

Let me see...

...(chuckle) Oh, they're both just so cute! They'll definitely be worth killing.

...But I don't want the fatso...

Fatso! You're mine!

I am pleasantly plump!

Say it however you want! A fatso's a fatso!

[snake hiss]

[evil laughter]

This guy's trouble!

Choji!

All right, then I'll just take the blonde one.

No, that one is mine.

The one with the big forehead...

She's mine as well.

[groan]

Fatso!

I said I'm pleasantly plump! Partial Expansion Jutsu!

[chuckle] That was almost close!

[grunts]

Choji!

She's... a Puppet User!

[grunt]

As easy as that, you've been cursed!

Now you can no longer escape from her!

(Thinking) Since she's a Puppet User, if we bring down the jutsu caster...

Sakura, guard my body...!

I'm on it!

Now, Mind Transmission--

Puppet Imitation Jutsu.

Ino?

Ino!

[grunt]

(Choji) [screams]

Choji!

[grunt]

(Thinking) It's up to me to handle this... But...

Ino! Sakura!

Now's the time to worry about yourself, not your friends.

He's right. You're in quite a bind too, you know. [chuckle]

Super Expansion Jutsu!

How about I eat you guys up?!

Ino!

Wha-?! What's goin' on?!

Puppet Imitation Jutsu!

I realized after I fell under that jutsu; She may call it a curse, but it isn't a Puppet Jutsu.

It's closer to a Mind Transfer Jutsu.

The Yamanaka Clan's reputation is gonna be ruined!

Thanks for the rescue, Elder Sister!

Thank you, Lady Saya! Now curse those guys!

You don't have to tell me that! I shall show them all no mercy.

This doll is now completely under my control.

And I'm going use it to punish our insolent friends and teach them a lesson!

Uh, Ino, he's coming this way!

Then there's only one thing to do! We have to get the jutsu caster!

Hurry...!

When it comes to Mind Transfer, I'm not going to let anyone defeat the Yamanaka Clan!

Mind Transfer Jutsu!

(Ino) Choji!

Huh?

That's not nice. You can't simply barge into my doll without getting my permission!

Now get out!

Forget that! Choji is our friend! So, you get out, lady!

Hm...

As a result, I cannot let you perform any surgery... Or go onto the battlefield.

(Sakura) I need... much, much more chakra...

(Sakura) I need... much, much more chakra...

Back then, I was always being protected by those two...

...while I just watched from behind.

But now... things have changed. If I still have chakra, then I can fight!

How magnificent! I think that you're just about ready.

Not yet. I'm gonna need more power to take down Itachi.

(Kabuto) Lord Orochimaru!

The reagent we discussed before has just been completed.

(Orochimaru) Oh? To test on Suigetsu? Who's overseeing the experiment?

(Kabuto) Karin.

I believe they're both in the eastern hideout?

Yes, I'll send a subordinate to deliver it.

No, I'll deliver it.

Really? What brought this on so suddenly?

Hmph. I'm just bored, that's all.

Well, well; I guess wonders never cease.

I can't believe you're here.

Well, don't worry. I'm leaving the minute I'm done here.

Uh, I'm not worried! Nobody said they were worried!

Anyway, you're late in getting the medicine here!

(Suigetsu) [sigh] I'm so disappointed that you're Orochimaru's lackey.

I certainly hope that you aren't planning on trying to become Orochimaru's pet like she is.

Hey, who are you calling a pet?!

I'm going to get ready for the experiment!

Sasuke, don't bother with this loser!

(Suigetsu) Sasuke, seriously... Will you help me?

I'm so sick and tired of this place!

Well, it all depends on how strong you are.

(Suigetsu) Tsk...

Hey... huh?

[gasp]

Just great. What kind of horrible experiment is it gonna be this time?

Hey, you...

...what are you doing!?

Lucky me!

You let Suigetsu escape?!

When I came to, everything was just like you see it.

This is bad If Lord Orochimaru finds out about this, then he's gonna take it out on me!

We're going after him! Round everyone up!

Right!

(Sasuke) What good will that do against him?

Sasuke?! What are you still doing here?!

I thought it might be interesting to watch the experiment.

(Sasuke) What'll you do?

What's your plan?

Since I'm here I can lend you a hand.

That way! Towards one o'clock!

Sensory Perception?

Yeah, if it's somebody that I know, I'm able to track them by their chakra.

Convenient. But there's something I don't understand.

Since you have a power like that, I'd think you could get away from Orochimaru.

It's because...

[crying] Ow! Let go!

You know, I'll bet this redhead is a remnant of a clan from the Hidden Eddy Village...

You were right when you said that she'd be worth something!

Let me go! Let me go!

[harrumphing chuckle] She's a pretty feisty for a kid.

Hey, little girl, did you realize that you have a very unusual power?

That's right. And that means we'll get a good price for you on the black market. [laugh]

[painful grunts]

A shinobi without a homeland is quite tragic.

No matter where you end up, you're treated like an outcast.

And if you possess unusual attributes, they come after you...

As long as you're living, at least.

And I should know. I'm speaking as one of the hunted, too.

But now... You have a decision to make.

If you decide to come join me, then nobody will ever lay a hand on you again.

If I have to follow someone, It has to be someone strong.

So if I become stronger than Orochimaru is, you'd follow me instead, is that right?

(Karin) Damn, a river! What a nuisance!

We've gotta be careful, Sasuke. We can't see him right now, but he's here somewhere.

I know.

Well... I guess I can't fool you, can I?

But, I didn't expect you to be with her.

Sasuke follows Lord Orochimaru! What else did you expect?!

Oh, just be quiet!

Hey, Sasuke... If you're willing to follow her, why not come with me instead?

What?! What are you talking about, you big idiot?!

I mean, I don't have any reason to fight with you, Sasuke.

Don't ignore me!

I already answered that question back at the hideout.

Oh yeah, that's right. Didn't you say that it all depends on my strength?

It's a Water Clone!

No! Physical attacks won't work on him! Use Lightning Style!

Nope, I won't let you weave any signs!

(Karin) Sasuke!

Aw, I'm so sorry, Sasuke... Nah, just kidding!

Hey! That's a nice blade you've got!

Now then, You're up next, Karin.

Just do what you're told and come back.

Because if you don't, you're going to regret it.

Oh, really? Is that some kind of threat?

[chuckle]

[grunt]

What was that?!

Just as I thought. It even worked on you.

Lord Orochimaru told me... that this chain can even bind a mass of chakra.

But this is the first time that I've used it...

That's enough, Karin. Put that away.

Sasuke... What was that?

Put it away.

(Thinking) In time, I'll convince these two to join my side.

...Their powers are worth it.

(Thinking) Ino's Mind Transfer failed?

Not yet... I don't have enough chakra!

(Sakura) Choji and Ino are almost out of chakra from all these battles!

(Sakura) Their strength and willpower are at their limits!

(Sakura) Back then, all I always did was rely on Sasuke and Naruto to protect me.

(Sakura) Now, I should be able to protect my teammates...

(Naruto) Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Their Backs."

(Sakura) I can't waste any more time feeling sorry for myself!
