（パックン）あそこか
Any closer and I'll be noticed...
（パックン） これ以上 近づくと気づかれるか
Nee-chan...
（エビゾウ）姉ちゃん
Are you taking those with you?
そいつを持っていくのか？
Fate must have meant for this to happen...
（チヨ）これも何かの縁じゃ
Nothing will serve me better than these
あやつと やり合うのに これ以上のものはないからな
if I'm gonna fight against him...
I've lived too long a life...

The Retired Granny's Determination
So... that's where his hideout is.
（はたけカカシ）なるほど
ここに ヤツらのアジトが
Most likely.
おそらくな
Gaara's scent was also coming from that same place.
我愛羅のにおいも 同じ場所からしとった
I see.
（カカシ）なるほど
I have one more favor to ask you.
もう１つ 頼みがあるんだけど
Huh?
（パックン）ん？
（ナルト）う～ん
おっ うくっ…
いっ たたた…
Hey, are you awake, Naruto?
（パックン） おう 起きたか ナルト
Huh? Pakkun...
（ナルト）あれ パックン
Okay, Pakkun, I'm counting on you.
（カカシ） じゃあ パックン よろしく
See you around then, Naruto!
じゃあ またな ナルト
（ナルト）あっ
Kakashi-sensei!
カカシ先生
Could it be that you've found the Akatsuki's hideout?
ひょっとして 暁あかつきのアジトが分かったのか？
Yeah... We're heading out immediately.
（カカシ）ああ すぐに出発するぞ
うん
What, Gaara's whereabouts have been–?!
（テマリ） 何？ 我愛羅の居場所が？
Yes ma'am! His whereabouts have just been located.
（砂すなの里さとの忍） はい 先ほど判明したそうです
The Leaf are preparing to depart immediately!
木こノ葉はの方々は すぐに出発するとのことです
Understood! Gather our skilled men immediately!
（テマリ）分かった
こちらも すぐに手練てだれを用意しろ
I will be heading out as well!
（テマリ）私も出る （砂の里の忍）はっ
Yes, ma'am!
Temari...
（カンクロウ）テマリ
（カンクロウ）うっ…
Kankuro, don't be so reckless!
カンクロウ ムチャだ
You need to stay in bed and take it easy!
お前は おとなしく寝てろ
I will get Gaara back, no matter what!
我愛羅は 必ずこの手で取り戻す
All right, as soon as the Sand is ready,
（カカシ） では 砂の用意ができしだい
we'll join them for Gaara's rescue.
彼らと共に 我愛羅君を救出に向かう
Got it?
いいな
Sorry to have kept you waiting!
（テマリ）待たせたな
（春野はるのサクラ）あっ テマリさん
Temari-san!
Everyone's here...
（カカシ）そろったな
All right! Then let's head out!
よーし
じゃあ 出発だってばよ
Wait!
（バキ）待て
（ナルト）あ？
Temari... You and the others stay here in the village and patrol the border.
テマリ お前たちは 里に残って国境警備に当たれ
What do you mean by that?!
どういうことだ それは
That's an order from... above.
（バキ）上からの命令だ
Huh...?
あ…
Their reasoning is...
風影かぜかげ様の不在が公になれば
if it becomes widely known that if the Kazekage-sama is absent,
いつ よその里が攻めてきても おかしくないという理由でな
there's no telling when other villages will attack our village...
I can't believe this...
（砂の里の忍）そんな…
That's all the more reason that
だからこそ 一刻も早く 我愛羅を取り戻すべきではないのか
we have to get Gaara back as soon as possible!
These Leaf people came all this way
ここにいる木ノ葉の者たちも
for the very purpose of going to Gaara's aid!
わざわざ 我愛羅を助けるために 来てくれているのだぞ
Gaara is our Kazekage, right?!
我愛羅は我々の風影ではないか
What's the point if we, the Sand people, don't go to save him!
砂の人間が行かなくて 一体 どうする！
But...
（バキ）しかし…
I'm going.
（チヨ）わしが行く
The only Sand Shinobi you need is me!
（チヨ）砂の忍は わし１人で十分じゃ
チヨバア様
Grandmother Chiyo!
But that's...
あ… しかし それは…
I am already retired, you know...
もともと 隠居の身
I can do whatever I like.
どう行動しようと わしの勝手じゃ
そんな… 無理をなさらないほうが
You really shouldn't overdo it...!
Don't you dare treat me like an old woman!
（チヨ） わしを年寄り扱いするでないわい
たあっ！
あっ 飛んだ
She jumped!
（ナルト･サクラ）わっ！
Wha–?!
I haven't doted on my dear grandchild for a while, after all...
かわいい孫を 久しぶりに かわいがってやりたいんでの
All right, we'll head out.
（カカシ） じゃあ 我々は出かけます
Sorry... I will try to convince the higher-ups...
すまん
これから なんとか 上役たちを説得してみる
We'll follow behind later, no matter what!
必ずあとから行くからな
（サクラ）うん
（ナルト）はっ そのころには
Gaara will be long rescued by that time!
とっくに 我愛羅を 助け出してるってばよ
See you later!
（サクラ）いってきます
（カンクロウ）うっ
う… くっ
クソっ
Damn! If only I were physically fit.
この体さえしっかりしてりゃ
There'd be no stopping me from going...!
絶対に俺が行くってのに
Hey, we're going a little too fast!
（テンテン） ちょっと飛ばしすぎだって
We haven't stopped running since we left!
（テンテン） もう ずっと走りっぱなしじゃない
Let's take a little break!
少しは休憩しようよ
Tenten, you need more training!
（ロック･リー）テンテン 修行が足りませんね
Lee! In front of you!
（日向ひゅうがネジ）リー 前だ
（リー）あっ
（マイト･ガイ）ああっ
（テンテン）あっ
Wait, Guy!
待て ガイ
（ガイ）んっ！ パックン
Pakkun!
Naruto!
ナルト
Can I ask you something?
１つ 聞いてもいい？
いつから暁に狙われてたの？
Since when have you been targeted by the Akatsuki?
うっ
I don't know...
分かんねえ
There was that one time when two people from the Akatsuki
（カカシ）１度 暁の中の２人が
ナルトに接触しに 木ノ葉まで来たことがあった
came to the Leaf Village in order to make contact with Naruto.
But that was three years ago...
あれから３年
and they've just started making a move now.
今になって動き始めた
I don't know why.
理由は分からないがな
Why did they wait three years?
どうして３年も待ったんだろ？
It could be that it's not because they didn't want to,
（カカシ） 手を出さなかったんじゃなくて
but because they couldn't.
出せなかったのかもしれないな
Because Jiraiya-sama was always hanging close to Naruto...
ナルトには 常に 自来也じらいや様がついていたからな
No...
（チヨ）いや
Based on information I acquired, there apparently is another reason.
わしの得た情報では もっと別の理由があると聞いた
Another... reason?
（ナルト）別の理由？
There's quite a bit of preparation involved
人に封じられている 尾獣びじゅうを引き剥がすには
if one's gonna draw out the Tailed Beast that's sealed within people.
それ相応の準備がいるからのう
They encountered difficulties with that.
それに手間取ったのじゃ
What's this "Tailed Beast" that you were talking about?
今の話… 尾獣って？
なんじゃ 綱手つなでの弟子のくせして
What?!
You're Tsunade's disciple and you don't even know that?!
そんなことも知らんのかい
The Leaf Village had a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit...
木ノ葉には 九尾きゅうびがおったろうが
（ナルト）あっ
（サクラ）あっ
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit is
（カカシ）九尾のことは 木ノ葉では 完全に極秘扱いですので
treated as top secret amongst the Leaf Village...
Well, that's not surprising, I guess...
まあ それもそうかのう
A Tailed Beast refers to Beast Spirits with tails.
尾獣とは 尾を持つ魔獣のことじゃ
Long, long ago, the Sand had a One-Tail.
砂は昔から一尾いちびを持っておる
That's the Shukaku sealed within Gaara.
それが我愛羅に封じられた 守鶴しゅかくのことじゃ
One-Tail?
一尾
Do you mean that there are other beasts
それじゃあ 九尾以外にも そんな魔獣が？
besides the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit?
（チヨ）そうじゃ
That's right...
There are a total of nine tailed beasts in this world...
この世に 尾獣は全部で９体おる
Tailed beasts have special characteristics.
尾獣には特徴があってな
Each of them have a different number of tails.
それぞれ尾の数が違う
The One-Tailed has one tail. The Two-Tailed has two.
一尾には尾が１本
二尾にびには２本
And up to the Nine-Tailed as the name suggests,
それらが 九尾までその名のとおり
each name represents the number of tails the beast has.
名が尾の数を表すのじゃ
The Tailed beasts have immense Chakra
尾獣は バク大なチャクラの塊で
and in the world of Ninja,
忍界にんかい大戦期には 各国 隠れ里が軍事利用しようと
they were used for military purposes by Hidden Villages around the world.
競って 手に入れようとしたものじゃ
They competed to get their hands on them.
But no one was able to control that power
しかし 人知を超えたその力を 制御することなど
which surpassed human intelligence.
誰にもできなんだ
I don't know why the Akatsuki is after it,
暁がなんのために それを欲しとるのか 分からんが
but that power is too dangerous...
危険すぎる力じゃ
But in this new peaceful age, the Tailed beasts apparently...
まあ 平穏な情勢の中
時代も移ろい
今や尾獣は
still exist, having scattered all around the world...
世界各地に ちりぢりに 存在しておるらしいがの
Kakashi directed us, the Eight Ninja Hounds,
（パックン） カカシに言われ わしら八忍犬はちにんけんは
to fan out in every direction
バラバラに八方に散り
暁の連中のにおいを追った
to follow the Akatsuki Organization's scent.
そうしたところ…
While we were doing that, we realized that
ヤツらは 木ノ葉と砂の間にある 川の国へと向かった
those guys were headed towards the Land of Rivers
which is situated between the Leaf and Sand.
川の国？
The Land of Rivers...?
そうじゃ
That's right.
In other words,
つまり 今現在 暁の最も近くにいるのは
you guys are closest to the Akatsuki at this point in time.
木ノ葉から 砂へ向かってきていた...
You, who were heading from the Leaf to the Sand Village.
お前らだ
（テンテン）あっ
I see...
なるほど
Follow me... I'll explain the details as we run.
（パックン）わしについてこい
詳しいことは 走りながら説明する
All right! Let's go, everybody!
（ガイ）よし みんな 行くぞ
（テンテン）え～ もう？
Huh? Already?
An enemy is nearing this hideout.
（ゼツ）このアジトの近くに 敵が近づいているぞ
An enemy, you said?
（デイダラ）敵だと？
And a highly skilled one at that.
（ゼツ）それも相当の手練れだ
His name is... Might Guy.
これは 名はマイト･ガイ
Who's that?
（暁リーダー）誰だ？ そいつは
（うちはイタチ）木ノ葉の上忍じょうにんで 体術を使う かなりのやり手だ
A Leaf Jonin who uses Taijutsu.
He's one clever operator. Don't underestimate him.
甘く見ないほうがいい
（干柿ほしがき鬼鮫きさめ）ああ～
Ah... that freak beast, huh...
あの珍獣ですか
We will use that Jutsu...
（暁リーダー）あの術をやる
In that case, I'll go...
（飛段ひだん）それなら俺が行く
I was getting irritated for not having any luck finding a Jinchuriki.
人柱力じんちゅうりきが なかなか見つからなくてな
イライラしてたところだ
No, I'll go...
（鬼鮫）いいや 私が行きましょう
I have something of a personal quarrel with him, you see...
その人には個人的に ちょっと因縁がありましてね
（暁リーダー）そうだな
You're right. That Jutsu is more suited to someone like you.
あの術は 暁の中でも チャクラ量の多いお前向きだからな
Among the Akatsuki,
you are more heavily loaded with Chakra, Kisame.
鬼鮫
（鬼鮫）ハハッ はい
Yes...
Even so, I'll take 30% of your Chakra.
（暁リーダー）それでも チャクラの30パーセントはもらうぞ
（鬼鮫）ったく
Well, well, well...
やれやれ やっと…
It looks like I'll finally be able to get pay back
あのときの蹴りの借りが 返せそうですね
for that kick he gave me...
Severe Leaf Hurricane!
（ガイ）木ノ葉剛力旋風このはごうりきせんぷう
（鬼鮫）うわあ！
（ガイ）ふっ
Who the hell is he?
何者です？
（ガイ）木ノ葉の気高き碧あおい猛獣
The Noble Blue Beast of the Leaf Village... Might Guy.
マイト･ガイ
What's up?!
（ガイ）どうした？
Someone's coming!
（パックン）誰か来る
（テンテン）うっ
Byakugan!
白眼びゃくがん
Behind us!
後ろだ！
（テンテン）んっ
（リー）ハア （ガイ）んっ
あっ
You...
お前は…
Do you know him, Guy-sensei?!
知ってるんですか？ ガイ先生
Who are you?
（ガイ）誰だ？
（テンテン）ああ…
Another guest...
（ゼツ）また来たぞ
It's a little noisy this time, isn't it, Deidara!
（暁リーダー）今回は やけに騒がしいな デイダラ
あ… いや
Well, the Jinchuriki was stronger than the other two...
今回の人柱力は
ほかの２人より強かったんだよ うん
I told you at the start, didn't I?
（サソリ） だから 俺が最初に言ったろうが
Your Jutsu wasn't suited for covert operations.
お前の術は 隠密行動には 向いてねえってな
（デイダラ）はっ そういう旦那のトラップも
I'd say your traps were pretty loud too, weren't they?
結構 派手だったんじゃねえのか うん
What!
（サソリ）なにを！
（暁リーダー）仲間割れはよせ
Stop fighting amongst yourselves!
Concentrate on the Jutsu!
今は術に集中しろ
さて 今度は誰が行く
Now then... who should I send this time...
This time it's my turn, without any doubt.
（飛段）今度こそ俺の番だな
（ゼツ）今度も木ノ葉の忍だ
Another Leaf Shinobi...
（飛段）チッ
Damn!
In that case, it's decided...
（暁リーダー）じゃあ 決まりだ
（カカシ）みんな止まれ！
Everybody, halt!
（ナルト）うっ
Who is that?
誰？
Out of the blue, huh...
（カカシ）いきなりですか
That guy... those eyes...
（チヨ）こヤツ あの目…
You're...
お前は…
This guy... has a ridiculous amount of Chakra.
こいつ とんでもないチャクラ量だ
これほどのチャクラ量を 持ってるヤツを見たのは
I've never seen anyone besides Naruto with that amount of Chakra.
ナルト以来だ
（リー）そんなに？
That much...?
本当に覚えてないと？
Are you really saying you don't remember...?
あっ お前 まさか…
Don't tell me you're...!
思い出したようですね
It appears that you've remembered...
Have we met before?
俺と会ったことがあるのか？
珍獣は 頭のほうも 獣レベルのようですね
It looks like the freak beast's intelligence
is at the level of a beast too...
Well... I'll make you remember soon...
まあ すぐに思い出させて 差し上げますがね
Uchiha... Itachi!
うちはイタチ
あっ
Th-That guy is...
こ… この人が？
この人が… うちはイタチ
That guy is... Uchiha... Itachi!

Today, I'll present you with some treasured photos
（リー）今回は 木ノ葉に刻まれた 青春の思い出
秘蔵写真の数々を 僕が紹介していきますよ
of the Leaf's youthful memories.
First, this is the newborn Naruto-kun.
まずは 生まれたばかりのナルト君
There was even a time when Naruto-kun was like this!
ナルト君にも こんな時代があったんですね
Wow! This is a photo of the Third and the Legendary Sannin.
なっ これは ３代目と伝説の３人です
ポニーテールの綱手様 とてもイケてます
Tsunade-sama sure looks cool with a ponytail.
This is the Fourth and Kakashi-san's team.
こちらは ４代目とカカシさんたちです
６歳で中忍ちゅうにんになったそうですよ
Kakashi became a chunin at age six.
さすが ガイ先生の永遠のライバル
It's easy to see why he's Guy-sensei's eternal rival!
この写真は 今でも枕元に 大切に飾られているそうです
He displays this photo by his bed even to this day.
では おなじみの方たちを 一気にご紹介です
Now then, I'll show you a bunch of photos of people you're already very familiar with!
これは アカデミー生のころですね
This is when we were students at the Academy.
うわ～ 懐かしいです
Wow... how nostalgic!
そして これがサクラさん
And this is Sakura-san!
のおお～！ ビュ… ビューティフルすぎです
Waw... she's too b-b-beautiful!
Her smile is so brilliant I can't even look at the photo directly!
笑顔がまぶしすぎて まっすぐ見られません
最後は りりしい眉に ぱっちり おめめの美少
Last but not least, a handsome young man with a gallant brow and large eyes.
That's right, the shining star of the Leaf Village. That's yours truly!
そう 木ノ葉の美しき碧き野獣こと

So cool.
