Come on!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something
Inside my heart is pounding
My throat dry like it's withering
For no single one,
To none does belong,
This time is ours, right now...
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark
In fighting and in love
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way
I wanna rock...
Rockin' my heart
The mist is so thick. I can't see ahead.
The bridge should be visible soon.
When we reach the side of the bridge, we'll be in the Land of Waves.
It's huge!
H-Hey! Please keep it down.
I took this boat hiding in the mist. That's why I'm rowing instead of using the engine.
If we get caught, we'll be in deep trouble.
Tazuna-san.
I want to ask you something before we arrive at the pier.
The identity of your assailants, and the reason why they're after you.
If you don't tell us, we can call off the mission once you get ashore, Tazuna-san.
The Assassin of the Mist!
The Assassin of the Mist.
It appears I have no choice but to tell you.
I mean, I'd like you to listen.
Just as you said, this mission may be beyond your job description.
Actually, my life is being targeted by a terrifying man.
A terrifying man?
Who?
You guys have probably heard his name before.
Shipping magnate, by the name of Gato.
Gato... of the Gato Company?
He's one of the world's richest men?
Who, who? What, what?
Yes.
On the surface he's the chief executive of a shipping company.
But, underneath he smuggle drugs and deals illegal goods using gangs and Ninja.
Moreover, he runs a despicable business. Ruthlessly taking over countries and enterprises.
It was about one year ago.
When that man first set his eyes on the Land of Waves.
He used his wealth and violence to enter this country, and before anyone knew it.
He had taken control of the island's sea traffic and shipping.
Controlling the ocean in an island nation like the Land of Waves.
Means control over the wealth, politics and the people of this island.
The one thing Gato fears...
Is the completion of the bridge.
That has been under construction.
I see, since you're the one building the bridge you've become an obstacle.
Then, those Ninja from before were Gato's men?
But, I don't understand. He's a dangerous man who will even use Shinobi.
Why did you hide that fact from us when you made the request?
The Land of Waves...
Is a very poor country and even the Feudal lords don't have much money.
Of course, we don't have much money either.
We can't afford to make requests of B-rank or higher.
Well, if you call off the mission when we land ashore...
I will be killed for sure.
Killed, while I go home.
But, there's no need for concern.
Should I die my cute eight year old grandchild will only cry and cry.
And my daughter will blame the Konoha Ninja for the rest of her life, and grieve in solitude.
But, it's not your fault.
Well, I guess we have no choice.
We'll continue as your escorts.
I am most grateful.
I won.
We'll be arriving soon.
Tazuna, it appears we haven't been noticed yet.
Thanks.
This is as far as I go. See you around.
Yeah. You've been a big help.
Be careful.
Okay, get me home safely.
Right.
When they next attack it won't be Chuunin level, but Jounin.
Oh well.
I'm not going to let this guy get all the good parts.
There!
Oh, just a mouse.
Stop trying to show off! There was nothing there!
Please, Naruto. Don't use your Kunai so recklessly.
They're dangerous.
Hey, brat! Don't scare us!
I sense someone over there.
No, over here?
There!
I told you to stop!
S-Someone's really been targeting us this whole time!
Yeah right!
Cut it out.
Naruto! Look what you've done!
It's a bunny!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to... I'm sorry, bunny.
It's just a rabbit, eh.
That's a snow rabbit.
But, that doesn't explain the color of its fur.
The coat turns only white during winter when the days are short.
Which means...
That snow rabbit was raised indoors without sunlight to be used as a substitution.
Guess they're already here.
I'm sorry.
I see. The Demon Brothers wouldn't be enough to take on these guys.
Konohagakure's Copy Ninja.
Kakashi of the Sharingan is with them.
Everyone, get down!
If I'm not mistaken, he's...
Here we go! Here we go, here we go!
This time I'll handle it.
I won't lose to Sasuke.
(Missing-nin: Rouge ninja)
Well, well, if it isn't the missing-nin of Kirigakure, Momochi Zabuza.
Missing-nin? Whatever, I need to...
Ready, go!
You're in the way. Get back, you guys.
Why?!
He's on a totally different level than the guys we met before.
If he's our enemy...
I can't win like this.
I assume you are Kakashi the Sharingan user.
Sorry, but...
I'll have you hand over the old geezer.
Sharingan? What's that?
What? What is he talking about?
Is this guy strong?
Sharingan.
You guys, get in the swastika formation.
Protect Tazuna-san.
Don't join the fight.
That's the teamwork in this situation.
Fight me.
W-What's this eye...?
I never expected to see the rumored Sharingan this soon.
This is an honor.
Everyone's been saying "Sharingan, Sharingan", but what is it?
Sharingan.
The eye creates it and the pupil generates it's power.
(Doujutsu: Eye Techniques)
Users of this Doujutsu is said to have the power to see through all Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu...
And is able to deflect them.
Sharingan is one of the various types of eyes that those with Doujutsu posses.
However, that isn't the only ability of the Sharingan.
Correct. But, that is not all.
What's more frightening is that the eye can understand how an opponents technique works and copy them.
When I was in Kirigakure' ANBU, your information was listed in the Bingo Book.
That I would carry around with me.
There was also something else in that book.
The man who has copied over 1000 techniques.
Copy Ninja Kakashi.
What? Kakashi-sensei is this great of a Ninja?
W-Wow!
What does this mean?
The Sharingan is a special trait that appears in only a select few, even among the Uchiha clan.
Could it be, he...?
Let's end the talking here.
I have to kill that geezer immediately.
But Kakashi, it seems I have to defeat you first.
Over there!
He stands on the water?
He's building up quite a bit of Chakra.
(Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique)
Ninpou: Kirigakure no Jutsu.
He's vanished?
Sensei!
He'll try to eliminate me first.
What is he?
Momochi Zabuza.
He was in Kirigakure's ANBU and is known for his "Silent Killing" techniques.
S-Silent...?
As the name suggests.
It's a killing technique that's executed in an instant of absolute silence.
By the time you realize it, you may already be dead.
I can't use my Sharingan to its fullest potential.
So don't lower your guard.
Well, if you fail you're going to die.
You're so carefree.
The mist is getting thicker!
The Land of Waves is surrounded by ocean, so a mist appears often.
Sensei!
Eight spots.
What?
The larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, collarbone, kidneys and the heart.
Now, which vital organ would you get struck at?
What intense bloodlust.
If I take even one breath or move my eyes, I'll be detected and killed.
That's what I feel.
If I stay like this for an hour, I'll lose my mind.
Facing a Jounin's intent to kill.
The feeling that my life is in someone's hand.
No. I'd rather kill myself to escape this feeling!
Sasuke.
Don't worry, I'll protect you guys with my life.
I absolutely won't allow my comrades to get killed.
I don't know about that.
It's over.
Sensei! Behind you!
Die!
(Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu: Water Clone Technique)
Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu?
It can't be...
In this mist...
Did he copy me?
Don't move.
It's over.
