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
Inari! Give me a hand.
I'll be right there.
This mist...
Sasuke! Sakura! They're coming!
I knew he was still alive.
Making an appearance so soon.
Say, Kakashi Sensei.
This is his Hidden Mist Jutsu, right?!
Sorry to have kept you waiting, Kakashi.
I see you've got those brats with you as always.
He's still trembling, poor thing.
I'm trembling with excitement.
Do it, Sasuke.
I can see him!
Well, well.
So he could see the Water Clones.
That brat's grown quite a bit.
This means a rival has emerged, Haku.
So it seems.
Damn it!
I'm totally late!
Well, well, it seems my prediction was right on.
Prediction?
That little mask.
Oh!
I knew it... Heh!
So the Elite Shinobi of the Hidden Mist thing...
was just a bold lie!
No matter how you look at him, he's gotta be a comrade of Zabuza.
Standing together with him and all.
How dare he show up like that after what he did!
I hate brats who think they're so cool.
He's better than you, Kakashi Sensei.
Oh, really?
I'll fight him.
Huh?
He pulled that stupid act on us, I hate conceited guys like that.
Sasuke-kun, you are so cool!
Sakura never corrects Sasuke.
He's quite a boy.
Hmm...
Even though those Water Clones
have only 1/10th the strength of their original.
He dealt with those clones well.
But we made the first move.
Go!
Right!
What?!
Haku's master technique Mirror of Ice Crystals
Haku's master technique. Mirror of Ice Crystals.
Are you Tazuna's daughter?
Sorry, but you're coming with us.
Mom!
Don't come out! Get out of here quick!
What's with you, brat?!
Shall we take him too?
One hostage is enough.
Hostage?!
Then...
Shall we kill him?
Wait!
If you lay a hand on that child...
I'll bite off my tongue and kill myself!
You want a hostage, right?
Thank your mom, kid.
Oh man, It's not enough.
Knock it off. You just tried out your sword earlier.
Forget it already and let's take the woman.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry!
I'm weak so I can't protect you.
I don't want to die. I'm scared!
You crybaby.
So you're just gonna cry all day like the lead in a tragedy?
An idiot like you can just cry forever! You crybaby!
He's probably tired of crying.
So he knows the true meaning of the word strong.
Just like your father.
For the things I truly hold dear to myself.
I'll protect them until the end with both these arms,
even if it looks like I might lose my life!
Inari.
Can I...
Can I also become strong?
Dad!
Looking at that beautiful skin of yours makes me want to cut you.
Hey, walk faster.
Wait!
Inari!
What? It's just the kid from before.
Get... get away from my mom!
Man, this brat's hopeless.
Let's do it!
If you do that I'll bite off my tongue and...
Shut up. Go to sleep.
Ina... ri.
Hmm... He can see at that speed.
Yes...
Sakura, surround Tazuna and don't move away from me.
Let Sasuke handle him!
Okay.
I don't want to have to kill you, but...
You probably won't back down.
Nonsense.
I knew it.
But you won't be able to keep up with my speed.
Also, I've already made two preemptive moves.
Two preemptive moves?
The first one is the scattered water.
And the second one was blocking one of your hands.
Therefore you'll just be able to defend my attack.
What?! With one hand he's...?!
A one handed Sign?
I've never seen that.
(Secret Jutsu: A Thousand Needles of Death)
Secret Jutsu: Sensatsu Suisho.
So he doesn't want to kill him... eh.
I wonder if that's how he really feels.
Sasuke-kun!
Remember... that training...
Build up Chakra at one burst.
The substitution Jutsu?!
The woman... Hmm?
Sorry I was late.
Heroes usually appear on the scene late, so...
Naruto!
Inari, you did well!
Huh?
Thanks to you distracting them, I was able to save your mom.
How did you know that those samurai were here?
In the forest there was a boar that had been cut up with a sword.
Other than that there were trees with lots of cuts.
They headed in the direction of your house...
so I got worried.
I see.
Well...
If it isn't the no good Ninja that Tazuna hired.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
Here they come!
Hah! Something like that won't work!
Idiots.
Prepare yourself!
W-Wow!
It's done!
Naruto, you're just like a Ninja!
You idiot. I was a Ninja to start with!
Build up Chakra at one burst...
to the feet!
He vanished.
You're surprisingly stupid.
From here on you'll only defend my attack!
To think Haku would lose in speed.
It seems that I'm faster than you.
I can't have you mocking our team, calling them brats.
He may not look it,
but Sasuke is the number one rookie of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
And Sakura is our sharpest.
Hah! Serves you right!
And the other one is the number one hyperactive,
knucklehead Ninja, Naruto.
You have a cold?
I'm okay.
Anyway, Inari. Sorry about yesterday.
Huh?
Calling you a crybaby, forget I ever said that.
You're strong!
Damn it!
I... decided never to cry again, but...
Now you'll laugh at me again and call me a crybaby.
What're you saying?!
It's okay when you're happy.
It's okay to cry when you're happy!
Naruto.
Now then. I can leave the rest to you, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm going to hop over to the bridge for a bit.
Man, it's tough being a hero! That's for sure!
Haku, do you know what this means?
At this rate you'll be defeated by your intended victim.
Yes.
What?
It's unfortunate.
Is this... cold air...?
Hidden Jutsu!
Crystal Ice Mirrors!
What is it? What's that Jutsu?
Are these mirrors?!
What...
in the world...?!
Damn it!
I'm your opponent, aren't I?
Since that Jutsu has appeared... He's done for.
Now then... I'll start.
I shall show you... my true speed!
Sasuke!
Sasuke-kun!
If you make a move, I'll kill those two!!
I'm sorry, Tazuna-san!
I'm stepping away from here for a bit.
Sure. Go!
Sakura!
Sasuke-kun!
Take this!
He caught it?!
Huh...
Who is it?!
It's that idiot, that showoff.
The number one hyperactive knucklehead Ninja.
Uzumaki Naruto!
is finally here!
Now that I've come you'll all be all right!
Oh...
Naruto!
The hero of a story generally appears in this kind of situation
and takes out the enemy in no time!
Heh... that brat.
He talks too much.
Man, that idiot!
Making such a flashy entrance.
There's no point if you don't catch the enemy off guard!
That boy...
What're you doing in a place like this from morning?
Training!
Why are you training?
I want to get stronger!
All right, here I go! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
Huh?!
Oh no!
Huh?
Get out of the way, Naruto!
Whoa!
What?!
He's saved...
To think the enemy attacks would cancel each other out.
That was super lucky.
Hey! What're you doing, Naruto?!
Hey! What kind of idiot would attempt to cast a Jutsu directly in front of an opponent?!
What?!
The essence of a Ninja is deception. How you deceive your opponent.
While executing a Jutsu you must avoid the eyes of your opponents,
catch them off balance and outsmart them.
The way you made your entrance earlier, that's just you becoming a target.
N-Nooo.
But I went through the trouble of coming to the rescue.
What concerns me more than that is...
That guy...
Haku, what's going on?
Zabuza-san, leave this kid to me.
Please let me fight this battle my way.
What did you say?
So you mean no interfering, Haku?
As usual you're being naive.
I'm sorry.
Naive, eh.
True enough.
Judging from these wounds,
there's no mistaking that I was attacked with needles.
But no vital areas have been targeted so far.
Is he trying to just torture me?
Then...
As for me, I'll take you out first!
Impossible. It's too much for Naruto!
I should be the one to...
Hey, don't get any ideas.
If you move,
you know what will happen to that old man, right?
True.
If I move away from here and head towards Naruto,
Zabuza will kill Tazuna-san.
There's no way Sakura could completely protect him by herself.
How about this?
Let's just see how those young guys fight against each other.
That mask...
You were Zabuza's comrade after all, weren't you!
You've got some nerve to deceive us!
I'm sorry.
But, your teacher also said it, didn't he?
Things like deceiving and catching one off guard are a Shinobi's duty.
Please don't take it personally.
You don't have that luxury either!
Huh?
Sasuke?
I haven't forgotten about you.
Here I thought he had disappeared, but he was there.
I would rather you had just gone down quietly.
But it looks like it won't work that way.
Fine. I'll put an end to you first.
H-Hey!
Naruto-kun. I'll get to you later.
W-What's with him?
This is it!
So the real body is over there.
Okay!
I'm over here.
He moved? How?!
Sasuke-kun!
Sasuke!
What was that just now?!
Sasuke's body suddenly got damaged.
How's he doing it?!
What kind of Jutsu is he using?
It's conceivable that he has clones hide in the mirrors and
gets them all to throw the needles simultaneously.
No, they're too fast considering...
What does it mean...
not being able to see even the trajectory of the weapons?
Also, if it's a mere Clone Jutsu.
I don't see a reason for these ice mirrors.
In any case, there's no questioning the fact that these mirrors are the key for his attacks.
What I can do is launch attacks...
from both the outside and inside.
What's left is to figure out the purpose of the mirrors!
I'll take care of this!
All there is to do is...
for me to attack the inside and have Naruto try attacking the mirrors from the outside.
Yo! I came to save you.
You okay, Sasuke?
What good will it do you to catch your ally off guard?
Y-You idiot!
If you're a Shinobi you'll move more cautiously!
What's with you?!
I came to the rescue you know!
If you also come inside the mirrors...
Damn it! I've had it you idiot!
Idiot? What do you mean by idiot?!
As to be expected of the number one unpredictable Ninja.
He is making the situation worse and worse by coming to aid.
Since it's come to this, all that is left is to smash the mirrors!
Fire Style!
Hey! What're you going to do?!
These are mirrors made with frozen water.
If so...
Fireball Jutsu!
It's not working at all!
They won't melt with that level of firepower.
Damn it! Where'd he attack from?! Is it the clones?
Where's the real body?!
It's useless for you to even attempt following with your eyes.
I will not be caught.
Humph. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!
Don't!
If so, I'll find out which is the real body by hitting them all!
This is a teleportation Jutsu that uses mirrors that can reflect only my image.
Watching you from the speed I move,
it almost seems as if you aren't moving at all.
I knew it!
Is that Jutsu, a Kekkei Genkai?!
Kekkei... Genkai...?
It's the same type as my Sharingan.
Deep blood ties, lineage of paranormal individuals.
A type of Jutsu that is passed on only through those traits.
Then...!
That's right.
It's impossible even for me to copy that Jutsu.
And there's no way to destroy it either!
Damn it.
So... what?!
I can't die here.
Because I have a dream that I must turn into reality.
The dream to have my strength recognized by everyone in the village...
and become the Hokage!
Dream...
Pathetic brat.
Brats like you aren't needed by anyone
and die without ever knowing any freedom or dreams.
You have the same eyes as I do.
It is difficult for me to become a complete Shinobi.
If possible, I wouldn't want to kill you guys.
And I wouldn't want to get killed by you guys either.
But if you guys are going to come at me...
I'll kill my feelings with a sword and completely become a Shinobi.
This bridge is the battleground that connects each of us to our dreams.
I, for the sake of my dream.
And you, for the sake of your dreams.
Please don't hold it against me.
I want to protect the person dear to me.
I work for the sake of that person, I fight for that person,
and I want to make that person's dream a reality.
That's my dream.
For the sake of the dream, I will completely become a Shinobi...
and kill you guys!
