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
It seems I've overused my Sharingan.
Are you alright, Sensei?
No. I'll barely be able to move for a week.
Then you shouldn't move around for a while.
O-Okay.
Sensei's awake.
Come on.
Your Sharingan might be awesome, but if it puts that much strain on your body it may not be worth it.
S-Sorry.
But, you know...
He did defeat a really powerful Ninja. We're probably okay for a while.
Anyway, that kid with the mask. What was he?
He was an ANBU from Kirigakure. It's a mask that the special squad of Hunter-nin wears.
Special squad?
They're commonly called the "fire extinguishing corps", and their job is to erase any evidence a Ninja was alive.
A Ninja's body can reveal a variety of things like Ninjutsu secrets and Chakra characteristics from their village.
The composition of secret medicine used on a body.
For instance, if I were to die.
The secrets about my Sharingan would be investigated.
And in the worst case there's a possibility that my techniques could be stolen.
In other words, Hunter-nin are killing rouge ninja who've abandon their village and dispose of their bodies.
And to prevent secrets of the village from leaking out. They're specialist.
First I'll cut the mouth cloth and have him spit up blood.
It's alright.
I can do it... myself...
What? You've already come back to life?
Geez, you really are rough.
You too Zabuza-san.
Please don't pull them out so violently, or you will die.
How long do you plan on wearing that fake mask?
Take it off.
I forgot, because it's been a while since I used this.
But if I hadn't rescued you, you certainly would have been killed.
If you were going to put me into a state of near death, you didn't need to aim for my neck.
You're still a really nasty one.
It couldn't be helped.
Besides, I didn't want to scar that beautiful body Zabuza-san.
Also, I can easier aim at the neck since it has fewer muscles.
You won't be able to move for a week or so.
But, perhaps you'll be able to move soon Zabuza-san.
You're so innocent, smart, and untainted.
That's what I like about you.
I am after all still a child.
The fog has lifted.
Yeah.
Will you be alright the next time?
The next time...
I'll deal with the Sharingan.
The Forest of Chakra
The forest of Chakra.
What is this?
Even though Zabuza is dead... What's with this uneasiness?
It seems like...
I've missed something.
What's wrong? Sensei?
Oh, about what I was talking about earlier.
Hunter-nin's take care of the bodies immediately and on the spot.
So, what about it?
What did that kid with the mask do with Zabuza?
How should we know? That masked kid took Zabuza away.
That's right.
If he needed proof he simply could've taken the head.
And, the question is...
The weapon the Hunter-nin kid used to kill Zabuza.
Regular metal needles.
That's impossible.
Right, it's impossible.
What are you guys talking about?
It's possible that Zabuza is still alive.
What?!
What?
What do you mean?
But Kakashi-sensei, you made sure that he was dead.
It's true, I did make sure.
But, he was probably just in a state of near-death.
The metal needles that Hunter-nin used has a very low ability to kill unless it hits a vital spot.
It's was originally used for medical treatments such as acupuncture.
Hunter-nin's know all about the structure of the human body.
Putting people into a state of near death is probably simple for them.
First, he went to the trouble of taking Zabuza's corpse which was probably heavier than him.
Second, he used a metal needle. A weapon with a low ability to kill.
From these two factors, that kid wasn't aiming to kill Zabuza, but to save him.
Aren't you reading too much into it?
No. Once a Ninja feels that there's something wrong he must prepare himself before it's too late.
It's one of the Shinobi's iron rule.
He's happy to hear that Zabuza might still be alive.
Sensei how are we going to prepare before it's too late?
You can't even move for a while.
I'll make you train.
W-Wait a minute! Even with training we're not gonna be that strong.
Our opponent is a Ninja whom even you with the Sharingan had difficulties with.
Are you trying to kill us, damn it?!
Sakura.
Who was it that saved me during my difficult battle?
You've all grown very quickly, especially you Naruto.
You've grown the most.
He does seem somewhat stronger than before, but...
So you noticed Kakashi-sensei. Now it's getting interesting!
No. It's not.
Who are you?
Hey Inari! Where have you been?
Welcome back Grandpa.
Inari, what kind of greeting is that? These are the Ninja who escorted your grandpa.
It's okay, it's okay. Right Inari?
Mom, they're gong die. There's no way they can oppose Gato and win.
Say what you little brat!
Listen! I'm a super hero who's gonna become a great Ninja named Hokage in the future.
I don't know this Gato or Chocolat. I'm not worried about those guys at all.
A hero? How stupid. There's no such thing.
W-What did you say?!
Stop that!
If you don't want to die, you'd better go home.
Where're you going Inari?
I'll be looking at the sea.
I apologize.
Damn it!
That brat. I'll tell him a thing or two.
Is he crying?
Dad.
We will now begin the training.
Yes, sir!
But before that, let me once again explain Chakra. The basic power for a Shinobi.
At a time like this?
We already know about that. Chatora, right?
It's Chakra.
Okay, Sakura-kun.
Listen Naruto. I'll explain this in a simple manner to save time.
Secret Document
"Chapter of Chakra"
Chakra is the energy, that a Shinobi needs when using a technique.
1) Physical energy: Gathered together from each and every cell in the body.
2) Spiritual energy: that comes from a lot of training and experience.
Body
Spirit
In other words, techniques comes from combining these two energies from within the body.
Body
Spirit
And this process is called molding Chakra.
And with this Chakra, one is able to use a technique by forming a Seal.
Body
Technique
Seal
Spirit
Correct.
Iruka-sensei was blessed with a excellent student.
Whatever! You can just learn that with your body even if you don't understand it.
Naruto is absolutely right.
We're already able to use techniques.
No. All of you still aren't able to use your Chakra efficiently.
What?!
Just listen up.
As Sakura explained earlier molding Chakra means to...
Combining both the physical and spiritual energies and mixing them together within the body.
And the amount of each of the energies will change based on technique you want to use.
Chakra
Body energy
Spirit energy
Suiton: Water Element
Doton: Earth Element
Katon: Fire Element
Raiton: Lightning Element
Fuuton: Wind Element
You are not able to use your Chakra effectively.
Even if you're able to mold a large amount of Chakra.
If you're not able to control the balance, your technique will not only be half as effective,
but it may not be activated at all.
Wasting energy can create a weakness that will prevent you from fighting for a long time.
S-So what should we do?
You need to learn to control the Chakra with your body.
It's difficult training that requires you to put your life on the line.
W-What will we do?
Tree climbing.
Tree climbing?!
That's right. But, it's not ordinary tree climbing.
You will climb without using your hands.
What? How?
Well, just watch.
He's climbing.
With just his legs.
This is how...
Focus the Chakra on the bottom of your feet and attach them to the tree trunk.
Something like this is possible if you use Chakra.
Wait a minute.
How does something like that make you strong?
Now we get to the main point.
The aim of this training is to mold the required amount of Chakra in the right location.
This is difficult even for an expert Ninja.
The amount of Chakra used for tree climbing is very subtle.
And the most difficult place to gather Chakra is said to be at the bottom of the feet.
In other words, if you master that control it will be possible to master any technique.
In theory that is.
The second aim is to maintain molded Chakra.
Most of the time a Ninja mold Chakra during battles.
In that situation "control" and "maintain" of Chakra becomes most difficult.
Anyway, nothing's gonna happen when I give this lecture.
You'll need to learn it with your bodies.
Use that Kunai to mark the spot where you can climb to with your current abilities.
Then try to make a new one above the old mark.
You guys aren't good enough to walk up from the start so run to give yourself a boost and get used to it.
Got it?
This training is nothing! It's too easy for me!
After all, I'm the guy who's grown the most.
Enough with the talk, get to it. Try climbing any tree.
All right, first I need to gather Chakra on the bottom of my feet.
All right! Let's go!
I didn't think it'd be this difficult to maintain a constant amount of Chakra.
If the Chakra is too strong I get pushed back.
But, if the Chakra is too weak there's no attachment and that will happen.
Well, the difference between Naruto and Sasuke seems about right.
This is pretty easy.
S-Sakura-chan!
Oh? It looks like the one with the best Chakra control is Sakura, the girl...
Amazing Sakura-chan! Just what you'd expect from the girl I set my eyes on!
But, it's a little annoying.
Damn!
I wanted Sasuke-kun to notice me. Why does this always happen?
Well, not only do you have knowledge about Chakra, your control and stamina are pretty good as well.
It looks like she might be the closest one to becoming Hokage, unlike someone else.
And also, the Uchiha clan isn't really that great.
Shut up Sensei!
Sasuke-kun's going to hate me.
Having said that, Naruto and Sasuke...
Those two have an incredible amount of Chakra hidden in them that Sakura can't match.
If this training goes well this will become an asset to them.
All right! First I'll catch up to Sasuke.
I'll do it!
Even if they do that, it's just a waste.
Unbelievable.
Even you got beaten and had to come back? The Ninja from Kirigakure must really suck.
You can't even clean up after your subordinates and you call yourself a Demon. Don't make me laugh.
(Iai is drawing the sword, striking an opponent, and then put the sword in the scabbard)
Iai?
Wait.
Hey, don't be so quiet.
Why don't you say something?
Don't touch Zabuza-san with your dirty hands!
I-It's gonna break!
I-Impossible.
He moved in an instant.
I wouldn't do that... I'm mad!
Next time...
If you lose again then there'll be no place for you here!
Let's go.
Haku, you didn't have to do that.
I know.
But, it's still too early to kill Gato.
If we make trouble here...
We'll be pursued by them again.
We must restrain ourselves for now.
Yeah.
You're right.
I'm worn out.
How much stamina can those two have?
But, Naruto hasn't improved at all.
He'll soon give up and start complaining.
Damn it!
See? He sure is easy to figure out.
Say, say.
Can you give me some tips?
Huh?
Don't tell Sasuke. Okay, okay.
He's getting stronger and stronger. How strong will he get?
But, Naruto.
Your amount of potential Chakra is probably more than Sasuke's.
And, it's even more than mine.
I can't wait to see it.
