Turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
Are you really happy,
when you're always meeting to someone's expectations?
Even if you change to who you really wanna be
Will you always have a great smile?
Dreaming of only the beginning, I wake up
and someday, I'll live on my own.
Yes, precious things are never in shape
You never know what it is when you get it or lose it
Turn your sadness into kindness, your uniqueness into strength
Even if you get lost, let's start walking
One more time
This is bad!
Pakkun?
Sakura-chan?
Why did you stop all of the sudden?!
They're getting farther away at a rapid rate...
The scent of Sasuke and two others, that is.
It seems like Sasuke is going after those two.
What?
He is?
The others show no signs of moving.
But...
We can't waste time here! Let's go after Sasuke!
But what...
The remaining guys are about to fight.
We must take a longer route to avoid them.
Why?
If we do that, it will take longer to catch up to Sasuke!
Let's just go through them!
What are you talking about, Naruto?
We don't know what will happen in a combat area.
There's a possibility that we will get dragged into a battle, even if we do not wish to fight.
That doesn't matter!
Kid, our mission is to bring Sasuke back.
If we're going to do that, we must avoid engagements as much as possible until we complete that mission.
Let's go!
Roger!
Fine.
(Kugutsu no Jutsu: Puppet Technique)
Kugutsu no Jutsu!
I am from Konoha's Aburame clan.
Even if our enemy is a small bug, we will not underestimate it.
We will fight with everything we have.
How disgusting.
Put me down, Temari.
Can you move again, Gaara?
Gaara!
Kankuro should be delaying the Uchiha right now.
I'll use this chance to...
I need to hurry, or the plan will be...
Temari, go away.
Just go over there!
You're in the way.
Astonishment! Gaara's true identity
Astonishment! Gaara's true identity.
The blade is poisoned.
You're not getting away!
That's Uchiha Sasuke...
Did he get past Kankuro?
No, he came here too fast to have done that.
Another pursuer?
I don't know what you Sand guys are planning...
But I will stop you!
And...
I will determine what your true identity is!
Gaara!
Is he...
going to awaken it right here?
You've got to be kidding! I won't be able to control him!
Stop, Gaara! Did you forget the plan?
You are strong.
You are called Uchiha.
You have friends.
You have goals.
You are similar to me.
By killing you, I can exist in this world as the one who erased your existence!
I will be able to feel that I am alive!
What is it?
Your location is obvious with that intense bloodlust of yours.
Come out.
You, eh?
What is your goal?
Why do you seek power?
It doesn't concern you.
Get lost. You're interrupting my training.
You... have the same eyes as I have.
Eyes that seek power and are filled with hate and bloodlust.
You are similar to me.
Don't forget, you are my...
You are my...
You're... my...!
Prey!
It has begun...
A replacement?
Not good enough.
Got you.
Bugs?
You made a clone with bugs and sneaked behind me... Not bad.
You are a puppeteer who favors medium to long range battles.
I suspect that your weakness lies in close combat...
since that Kugutsu no Jutsu of yours requires concentration to control the puppet.
It makes the user vulnerable.
You know a puppeteer's weak point well.
But now, I'll show you the true use of this Ninjutsu in battle.
The true strength of the tactical puppet Karasu, that is!
This is... a poison gas bomb.
I inhaled a small amount...
I see... So the user will now hide himself.
Listen up everyone.
Even if an enemy ninja appears, do not panic. Hide yourselves in the secret room.
The Jounin and Chuunin teachers will protect you with their lives.
Konohamaru-chan...
Don't worry.
Everyone's working hard out there.
They can push the enemy back in no time.
There's a crack in one of the carved stones of Hokage-sama...
What a bad omen.
Old geezer...
I've come this far... I've come this far...
Yet, do I not have enough strength left to pull this guy's soul out?
Are you saying that sacrificing my life is not enough with this old body?
You could have killed me if you were ten years younger.
Sarutobi, if you don't defeat this man now, the village will perish!
Do you understand that?!
I do understand!
You... half-dead corpse!
Now... let me feel!
It's that eye...
That eye I saw before!
This looks like it won't end by the time you come here to back me up, Shino.
Looks like the poison is spreading now.
I'll finish you off.
Bugs again?
But in his state, he shouldn't be able to move around a lot.
I'll free you from your pain.
Hey, what's wrong?
What the...
Did he...
It's useless.
He can't move anymore.
I slipped bugs into all of his joints.
He stuffed bugs into the joints to make it immovable?
Did he plan to do that from the start?
The bugs are moving along the chakra strings...
Why?
I remember...
They feed on chakra.
He will find my location at this rate!
He cut his chakra strings off.
You let your guard down.
Putting chakra strings that have been detached back to normal in an instant...
is an easy task for a first-rate puppeteer.
And in each individual part of Karasu's body there are weapons installed.
He is an armed puppet!
If you think that you've won by just stopping his movement you've made a big mistake!
There is a lot of poison on that needle tip.
Die!
What?!
When did the bugs...?
My chakra strings have been eaten off!
What?! Why?!
Where did these bugs come from?!
You let your guard down after getting rid of the decoy bugs that moved along the chakra strings...
And you failed to notice the bugs who were swarming behind you.
The bugs were moving the entire time, heading for your forehead protector.
W-What...?
That last attack, I pretended to fail to hit you.
Then I attached a bug to you.
But how did you find out my location from just this single bug?
I don't like to explain the same thing twice.
Shino.
Why are you here?
Before you left the stadium, I put a female bug on you.
The female is almost odorless...
And the only things that can smell that faint female scent are the males of the same species.
Then the bug on my forehead is...
Yes, a female.
The poison has spread throughout my body...
It seems that I cannot be your reinforcement.
I am sorry, Uchiha Sasuke.
Is he a monster?
Are you scared of me?
Uchiha Sasuke!
Are you scared of my existence?!
Come out!
Uchiha Sasuke!
Damn it...
You are my...
Prey!
Everyone makes mistakes
it's nothing to be ashamed of
Don't let this scar go to waste
Be able to smile as you walk
Yes, breathe in the air Lift your face to the sky and jump
If it rains, take a break Go where the wind takes you
So many regrets Don't let this scar go to waste
Let's go carve the badges in our chest Yes, it's show time, life begins now
Everyone makes mistakes
It's nothing to be ashamed of
Don't let this scar go to waste
Be able to smile as you walk
Turn your sadness into wind and continue to move forward
Continue to move forward...
