(大蛇丸)はぁ はぁ はぁ…。
ゲホッ ゲホッ ゲホッ… はぁ。
So close...
あと少し…。
あと ほんの少しで…。
Just a little more!
(カブト)いよいよですね。
Any moment now.
中忍選抜試験 死の森。 あれから３年。
The Chunin Exam... the Forest of Death... three years have passed...
((大蛇丸 : 私たちの地の書。 欲しいでしょ？
You want our Earth Scroll don't you...?
Okay, let's begin... the struggle for the scroll.
さぁ 始めようじゃない。 巻物の奪い合いを。
命がけで！
We'll put our lives on the line!
(サスケ)うぅっ！))
The Genin who once feared your menacing air
(カブト)あなたの殺気に怯えていた 下忍も➡
成長したもんですね。
has now matured, hasn't he...?
The young Sharingan that child turned at me had a fine look.
(大蛇丸)あの子が私に向けた 幼い写輪眼は➡
とても いい目をしていたわ。
フフッ！
If he's able to use the Sharingan to that extent as his age,
あの歳で あそこまで写輪眼を 使いこなせるなら 合格。
he gets a passing grade.
いいえ 育てれば イタチ以上の逸材になる。
No, with training, he can become an outstanding gem, superior to Itachi.
そう。 私は あれで確信したのよ。
Yes, that is what convinced me...
彼の抱えるトラウマも含めてね。
In addition to the trauma he carries with him!
Sasuke would seek me out for sure...
(大蛇丸)サスケ君は 必ず私を求める。
力を求めてね！
looking for strength!
だからこそ呪印を与え その反応を見るべく➡
That is why you gave him a Curse Mark and also took steps
中忍試験を見守ろうと手を打った。
to keep watch over the Chunin Exam to see how he reacts.
Are you talking about Anko?
(大蛇丸)アンコのことを言ってるの？
フフフ… あれは偶然。
That was just a coincidence.
Well... I was planning to threaten the Leaf, anyway.
まぁ どのみち木ノ葉を➡
脅迫しようとは思っていたけどね。
ヨロイの能力で チャクラが吸収しつくされれば➡
If his Chakra was completely sucked out by Yoroi's powers,
Sasuke would be forced to use the power of the Curse Mark...
サスケ君は 呪印の力に頼らざるをえない。
((さぁ 解放しなさい。 甘美なる力を！
Now release it. That sweet power of yours...!
えいっ！ (ヨロイ)うっ！
(ヨロイ)クッ！ 影舞葉だと!? くらえ！))
Dancing Leaf Shadow?!
Take this!
I'm not going... to let this thing... swallow me up!
《こんなものに…。 のみ込まれてたまるか!!》
(獅子連弾!!))
Lions Barrage!
Wonderful...
(大蛇丸)すばらしい…。
その ひと言につきるわ。
What more can I say?
呪印をはねのける その意志。
The will to brush off the effects of the Curse Mark
and the way he made use of the Sharingan in a desperate situation...
そして 窮地においての 写輪眼の生かし方。
確かに 実戦は ときに 忍を大きく成長させますからね。
Actual battle does indeed make Ninja mature greatly.
中忍試験を 続けさせたのは正解でした。
It was the right decision to make him continue with the Chunin Exam.
フン…。
(大蛇丸)まあね。 あそこまで成長したなら上出来。
I suppose.
He did well to improve that much...
《千鳥!!》
Chidori!
《上出来ね》
Excellent... He did well!
もはや 木ノ葉に 置いておく意味はない。
There was no reason to keep him with the Leaf Ninja any longer...
私以上に 彼を育てられる者はいない。
There's no one who can train him better than I can...
No one other than me, who can understand the darkness in his heart...
彼の心の闇を理解する 私以外に…。
As well as paint him in your colors, Orochimaru-sama... isn't that right?
大蛇丸様の色に 染めるためにも… ですね。
まるで 木ノ葉崩しが ついでだったかのようだ。
It's as though the destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village was an afterthought.
It's time for me to prepare the next medicine...
そろそろ かえの薬の準備を しないといけませんね。
転生の儀式を 万全の体制で 迎えてもらうためにも。
so that you will be able to go through the Reanimation Jutsu in perfect condition.
I will give you a punishment that is appropriate for you,
((三代目 : 術に溺れ 術におごった お前には➡
それにふさわしい処罰を下す。
who has become intoxicated by Jutsu and allowed it to go to your head!
お前の術を すべて もらっていくぞ！
I will take all of your Jutsu!
やめろ!!
Stop it!
Seal!
(三代目)封印！ くっ…。
《腕が動かぬ…》
My arms can't move...!
(ハア… ハア… ハア…))
(大蛇丸)老いぼれめ。
Damn geezer...
あれで 私の術は奪われ 転生の時期は遅らされた。 でも…。
Because of that, my Jutsu was taken from me
and the time of my reanimation was postponed. But...
《フフフ… 準備は万端。 計画も最終段階。
All preparations are complete... and the plan is in its final stage.
予期せぬアクシデントも➡
The unexpected accident is now but a trivial price to pay.
今となっては 取るに足らない代償。
いよいよ あなたの体は 私のものになるのよ サスケ君》
Finally, your body will become mine...
Sasuke-kun!
sha la la some day in the future
sha la la itsuka kitto
I will for sure hold it in my hand
boku wa te ni suru nda
it will softly set ablaze
hakanaki mune ni sotto
a light in my empty heart
hikari moeteyuke
the "impulses" that makes you want to meet it
aitaku naru no shoudou
the "innocence" that makes you want to cry
nakitaku naru no junjou
they've gone into the summer fire
natsu no hi ni tobikonda
the fireflies aren't coming back
hotaru wa kaeranai
you didn't say a single word and left a kiss for me behind
anata wa nanimo iwazu kuchizuke wo nokoshite
and nodded as you still got burned
kitsuzuku mama unazuita ne
it was so sad that my life was wavering
kanashii hodo inochi yurameiteita
sha la la some day in the future
sha la la itsuka kitto
I will for sure hold it in my hand
boku wa te ni suru nda
it will softly set ablaze
hakanaki mune ni sotto
a light in my empty heart
hikari moeteyuke
sha la la my sweet lovely dear
sha la la itoshiki hito
I can also see you right now
anata mo mieteiru no
the dazzling moon will softly
mabayui tsuki ga sotto
illuminate the morning day
ashita wo terashite
and strongly and strongly shine on
tsuyoku tsuyoku kagayaite
The Serpent's Pupil
What's the meaning of this!
(綱手)どういうことだ？
Why hasn't there been any reports from the Anbu Black Ops surveillance team?
監視に回った暗部からの連絡が ないというのは！
大蛇丸の配下を退けたとはいえ➡
Even though we got rid of Orochimaru's men,
三尾の存在は いまだ脅威のままなんだぞ!!
the Three-Tails still remains a huge threat!
とにかく 確認の部隊を送れ。
Anyway, send a squad to check it out and make it the highest priority!
最優先だ!! はっ！
Yes, ma'am!
《すべては目的のため…。
Everything I do is for my goal...
いいえ… 私の目的に 立ちはだかる闇を打ち消すため》
No, I do it to clear away the darkness that stands in the way of my goal.
ゲホッ ゲホッ ゲホッ！ あっ！
ハァハァ… ハァハァ…。
大蛇丸様！
Orochimaru-sama!
あっ！
何をしてるの カブト！ ゲホッ ゲホッ！
What are you doing, Kabuto...?!
大丈夫ですか？ 大蛇丸様。
Are you all right, Orochimaru-sama?
大丈夫よ。 あと少しで あの体が私のものになる。
I'm fine... That body will be mine shortly.
転生を前にして 私の気分は とてもいいわ。
I will be reanimated soon. I feel great...
うっ… ゴホッ ゴホッ！
もう限界ですね。
You've reached your limit.
これだと ランク10の薬を投与しないと体が…。
In your condition, if I don't administer a rank 10 medication, your body will...
ハァハァ…。
I will change medications.
薬を取り替えてきます。
少し お待ちください。
It will just take a minute.
フフフフ…。
《あの殺気… 体は すでに限界を超えているはず。
That menacing air... But his body should already have passed its limit.
フフッ… なのに あのお方は 気力だけで…》
But he hangs on by his sheer will...
フッ… これだから 大蛇丸様のそばを離れられない。
This is why I cannot leave Orochimaru-sama's side.
火影 風影の両巨頭を倒し➡
The Hokage... When you defeated both giant heads of Kazekage...
あと一歩で 木ノ葉崩しも成るというときも➡
And when you were just one step away from destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village...
伝説の三忍 綱手 自来也➡
The legendary Sannin...
When you were fighting Tsunade and Jiraiya at the same time...
２人を同時に 相手をしたときでさえも➡
あれほどの殺気を 覇気を放つことはなかった。
You never looked so menacing... so full of ambition, even then.
それが ここにきて…。
But now, at this point...
フッ… 大蛇丸様の 成長が恐ろしいよ。
I am fearful of how much you've grown, Orochimaru-sama.
If all goes well, not only the Five Kage,
五影どころか うまくすれば大陸全土すら➡
but the entire continent will bow down before you, Orochimaru-sama...
大蛇丸様の前に ひれ伏すに違いない。
サスケ君の体を 手に入れることによってね。
When you obtain Sasuke-kun's body...
フフフフ…。
千鳥流し！
Chidori Stream!
その報告は確かなんだな。
The report is reliable?
(シズネ)はい。 例の湖に確認に行った 部隊の話によると➡
Yes. According to the squad sent to check that lake...
監視のために配置した 暗部の姿は➡
The Anbu Black Ops stationed there to do surveillance
三尾もろとも 消えうせていたとのことです。
had disappeared along with the Three-Tails.
すみません 私が 三尾を封印できなかったために。
Hmm...
I'm sorry. This happened because I was unable to seal the Three-Tails...
ですが いったい何者が…。
But, who could have done this?
《連絡が途絶えた わずかな時間のなかで➡
Someone who could handle the Three-Tails in the short time since we lost contact...
あの三尾を 相手にできる者たち…》
暁か！
The Akatsuki?!
(大蛇丸)フフフ。
フフフフフフフ。
うぅ！
《転生の代償はこの痛み。
The cost of reanimation is this pain. But it's...
しかし こんなもの。
手に入れるものの 大きさに比べれば➡
nothing compared to the greatness that I am gaining.
どうということはない》
フフフフフフ アハハハハハ！
うぅ！
《このチャクラ性質は…。
The nature of this Chakra...
だが こんな形態変化は 見たことがない》
But, I've never seen this Change in Chakra Form before.
誰なの？
Who is it?!
やっぱり そう来たわね。
You came... just as I thought you would.
もうアンタに教わることは何もない。
I have nothing more to learn from you.
アンタの前でも 非情になれそうだ。
Even here before you...
I think I can become heartless.
((全員に とどめはさしてないわね。
You didn't kill all of them... How naïve.
まだまだ甘い。
殺したいヤツは他にいる。
There are others I'd rather kill.
非情にならなければ イタチには勝てないわよ。
Unless you become heartless, you will never defeat Itachi.
アイツの前では非情になるさ。
When I stand before him, I'll be heartless, whether I want to be or not.
(否が応でもな))
うぅ！
大蛇丸 アンタは オレより弱い。
Orochimaru, you are weaker than me.
もう アンタに オレの体を➡
くれてやる必要も なくなったわけだ。
There's no longer any need for me to give you my body.
言うわね うちはのヒヨッコが！
You have some nerve... you're still an Uchiha fledgling!
フン ヒヨッコじゃなきゃ 手に入りそうもなかったんだろ？
If I hadn't been a fledgling, you would've had no chance at me, right?
アンタさ。
You...
中忍選抜試験のあの森で➡
were eyeing me, trying to appraise this "fledgling"
アンタは ヒヨッコの オレを いやらしく値踏みしていた。
in the forest during the Chunin Exams.
((動け！
Move!
火遁 硫火の術！
Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!
(大蛇丸) やっぱり 私は キミがほしい…))
I want you... after all!
そして オレに ツバをつけたってわけだ。
So you put dibs on me.
コイツで オレを縛っているつもり だったんだろうが…。
You thought you had me bound to you with this...
((多由也 : ウチらと一緒に来い。
Come with us!
そうすれば 大蛇丸様が 力をくれる。
If you come, Orochimaru-sama will give you power!
(左近)来るのか 来ねえのか!?
- Are you coming? - Or not?!
(右近)こんな弱いヤツ➡
あんまりグズりゃ やっちまいたくなるぜ。
If this weak guy keeps dawdling, I'm going to want to kill him.
やってみろ！
Just try to kill me!
うわっ！
テメエだけが 大蛇丸様の お気に入りとは 限らねえんだぜ。
You're not the only one Orochimaru-sama favors.
呪印で力を得た代わりに 大蛇丸様に縛られている。
We're bound to Orochimaru-sama
in exchange for gaining powers via the Curse Mark.
ウチらに もはや自由などない。
We no longer have any freedom.
何かを得るのには 何かを捨てなければならない。
To gain something, we have to give something up.
お前の目的は 何だ？
What is it you're after?
(目的を忘れるな))
Don't forget your goal.
オレは 復讐者だ。
I want revenge.
復讐の目的が 果たされるならば➡
I was ready to give my body if it meant I could attain my goal of revenge.
この体を捨ててもいいとさえ 思っていた。
アンタも写輪眼だけが 欲しかったんだろう？
You just wanted a Sharingan, right?
しかし イタチがムリだった。
But...
だから ヒヨッコのオレを狙った。
Itachi didn't work out... That's why you came after me, a fledgling.
そうだろう？ 三忍と謳われた 天才さんよ。
Isn't that right? You who they called the Genius Sannin.
だが アンタは 世間でいう ただの天才でしかなかった。
But you turned out to be what they call on the streets, "just an ordinary prodigy".
うちはの名を超えるどころか 届きもしない。
You couldn't even live up to the Uchiha name, much less surpass it.
どんな天才も うちはの名の前では 凡人に成り下がるのさ。
Even the best prodigy is only ordinary against the Uchiha name.
自分の体を薬漬けにし 体をのり換えてまで➡
What you did...
うちはの力に いやらしく 近づこうとする アンタの行為は➡
disgustingly trying to approach the powers of the Uchiha
by drowning yourself in drugs and trying to overcome your body...
この名を持つオレからすれば 浅ましく滑稽だ。
It seems so shameless and comical to me, who possesses that name.
それに アンタのやり方は 好きじゃない。
And what's more, I don't like the way you do things.
アンタの目的は何だ？
What is your goal?
アジトを転々としながら 実験を繰り返し。
You hopped from hideout to hideout, conducting experiments...
次から次へと命をもてあそぶ。
Toying with life after life...
この世の道理を 解き明かすだのなんだのと➡
Saying you were trying to unravel the order of this world.
くだらない利己的な理由で➡
他人をおもちゃのように もてあそび続けている。
You continued to toy with others for your own stupid and selfish reasons...
((どうして 兄さんが…。
Why... Nii-san?
(イタチ)己の器をはかるためだ。
To measure my own abilities.
己の器をはかる？ それだけ？
Measure your own abilities...?
それだけのために…。
Is that all?
みんなを殺したっていうの？
Is that the only reason... you killed everyone?!
(それが重要なのだ))
That's what's important.
へどが出る！
You make me sick!
白いウロコの大蛇。 それがアンタの正体だったとはな。
A snake with white scales... so that is your true form...
体から体へのり換えるために➡
You conducted experiment after experiment
実験を繰り返した 成れの果てがその姿か。
so that you could move from body to body...
さあ サスケ君 その体を私にちょうだい！
and that's how you ended up?
Now, Sasuke-kun... Give me your body!
地を這いずるヘビが 空を飛びたいと夢みたところで➡
A snake that slithers on the ground can only dream of flying through the air.
所詮 無理な話。
それでもどうにかしたいと 巣の中のヒヨッコを狙ってたお前が➡
You wanted it so badly that you went after the fledgling in the nest...
逆に狙われてたのさ。
But you became targeted as the prey instead...
これから 空高く飛び立つ 鷹の目にな。
By the eyes of a hawk soaring high above in the sky.
サスケ！
Sasuke!
before the reality of a deep breath
sonzai to shinkokyuu no genjitsu wo mae ni
my gaze my very existence tries to challenge it
idomou to suru shisen wa
mistakes are made and in the confusion of it all everything burns into my mind
machigai mo tomadoi mo zenbu yaki tsukeru
in a series of moments
isshun no renzoku no naka de
beyond a great number of promises
ikutsu mono yakusoku no sono ue ni tatte wa
are the words that spilled over from the day as I reflect upon them
kamishimeru ano hi koboreochita kotoba
it's as though I made a vow which expresses these feelings into words
komerareta omoi wa chikai no you de
then it would link the befinning with the present day
kuchi ni sureba ima to hajimari wo tsunagu
it's not in my dreams
yume de wa nakute
that place doesn't exist in a fantasy world either
esoragoto no sekai de mo nai basho de sa
before the reality of a deep breath
sonzai to shinkokyuu no genjitsu no mae ni
my gaze my very existence tries to challenge it
idomou to suru shisen wa
mistakes are made and in the confusion of it all everything burns into my mind
machigai mo tomadoi mo zenbu yaki tsukete
embracing the long path ahead
sono zutto saki wo toraeru
in a series of moments
isshun no renzoku no naka de
Next Episode
The way Orochimaru-sama looks... He won't last with only the medicine.
He'll have to do the Reanimation Jutsu tomorrow, or as soon as today...
Of course... I wouldn't think Sasuke-kun would consent willingly...
But no matter how much he resists, there's no way he can escape.
Even Sasuke-kun can't resist that Jutsu...
Next time: "Eye of the Hawk"
Eye of the Hawk
なんて 寂しい空なんだろう。
