Press down hard on the gas
That's right, there's no compromise
We'll slip through the night
At the final moment push hard
That's right, all the way to zero,
Until we wipe away the days
Gently open your heart
If you pull it close to you
It will reach you, without a doubt
It will come, closer
Now
We're speeding through life, squeezing it for all of its worth
Our feet are tied
But we still keep going farther
Even if I take it back, and grasp it
If you're not the one
There will be no meaning
And so we'll go far off into the distance.
Curse Sealing!
Out of character.
It appears he's quite tired...
To think you've become able to handle Sealing Jutsu...
You've grown, eh, Kakashi?
You...
Long time no see, Kakashi.
Orochimaru...
Kakashi vs. Orochimaru: Face to Face!
Sorry, but...
I have no business with you, Kakashi.
But I do with the kid behind you.
Why are you after Sasuke?!
It's good for you. You already got it, right?
You didn't have it before, did you?
That.
That...
left eye Sharingan!
I want it, too...
The Uchiha power.
Come on. Get up.
W What?!
B Bugs?
They burst through the skin... from inside his body?!
What a creepy guy!
Heh! What kind of bluff are you trying to pull?
These things are called Parasitic Insects.
They attack their pray in groups and eat Chakra...
If attacking in this amount...
you're finished, no mistake.
If you don't like that, give up.
That would be in your best interests.
If you use your left arm technique on me,
I'll simultaneously have the bugs exploit the opening from behind.
Conversely, if you use your technique on the bugs,
I'll simultaneously exploit the opening...
Either way, you won't be able to get through this.
An ace in the hole is something you set aside.
Hey! Hold it!
You little thief!
Someone! Grab him!
Uh oh.
Man, what a pigheaded kid.
Making us go to trouble!
You have potential, boy.
I liked your eyes earlier...
If you come with me, you can become strong.
Follow me.
If you come with me, you can become strong.
You can become strong.
Fight for me. If you do that...
I'll make you stronger.
Now, please live up to my expectations...
No longer...
will I...
It seems like you're proud of your arms. You!
S Stop it!
Stop!
No longer...
can I make things blow up in my face!
Don't... underestimate me!
An ace in the hole is something you set aside, right?!
An ace in the hole is something you set aside, right?
What?! He could already use his right arm?!
So the first half of the battle was a strategic move
to make us think he couldn't use his right arm.
Not bad... Zaku.
What's your purpose?
The recently built Sound Village. That's my village, you see...
You already understand, don't you?
Humph! Ridiculous ambition.
Oh, my... you said it.
But, for that I need various pieces who will obey my every whim.
Take this!
So Sasuke is one of those pieces?
No. Sasuke is an exceptional piece.
And the ones who are taking the exams now...
are mere throw away pieces.
My arms!
What's this?!
Earlier when I recommended that you give up...
as a precautionary measure, I gave a suggestion to the bugs...
to block that troublesome wind hole with their bodies and remain still.
This is what a real ace in the hole is.
Punk!
Don't... come any closer... to Sasuke!
Even if you're one of the legendary three Ninja,
at the least, I can kill you as you kill me!
What's funny?
What you say and what you do, are all off.
What?
There's no point at all in attempting such a seal.
You understand, don't you?
The heart to seek out in pursuit of the goal,
no matter what obstructive power there may be...
He is the possessor of that quality.
He's an avenger...
So you took advantage of that, eh?
However, Sasuke is...
At some point, he will definitely seek me out...
in search of power.
Oh, and, you're going to kill me?
Why don't you try?
That is, if you can...
Kill you as you kill me?!
Am I an idiot?
It seems... it's over.
The winner! Shino Aburame!
W What is he, Neji?!
Byakugan!
He's something else!
I can understand him calling bugs with a Summoning Jutsu...
but he harbors bugs all over his body.
S Say what?!
He's of the bug tamer race that is passed down in the Leaf Village.
Speaking of which, I've heard of it...
The story of a race that as they come into this world,
possess the secret technique of loaning their bodies to bugs
as a nest and fight using these bugs.
They fully control the bugs and entrust most of the battle to the bugs...
I hear that they contract to keep giving the bugs their own Chakra
as food for compensation.
So he's... the successor?
That was unfortunate, Zaku.
Why'd that happen to Zaku's arms?
Probably, that guy called Shino or whatever...
exploited the opening and stuck those bugs
into the exhaust opening in Zaku's hands.
If he were to fire the Slicing Sonic Wave in that condition,
the energy with no way out would expand in search of an exit...
His arms that are gun barrels blow up...
and become useless.
Our relationship was only that of having been given the same mission...
but... l'll even the score for you.
Whew. He gives me a chill, indeed...
What?! What?!
So Shino, you were that strong, weren't you?! Dang it!
I thought he was a creepy person from long before, but...
Oh...
S Shino, good... work...
Hey, you did it!
Yes... I'm counting on you guys, too.
He comes back like he's the team leader or something! Dang it!
Umm, now then, I would like to get right to the next match.
Kakashi Sensei!
Yo!
Not, "Yo! Kakashi Sensei!"
What about Sasuke? Is he okay?
Well, he's fine.
He's sleeping soundly in the infirmary.
However, with Anbu Ops standing as guards...
Oh.
Tsurugi Misumi vs. Kankuro
It's finally my turn.
Kankuro, he's totally underestimating this...
Humph. Idiot...
It's him!
Unlike Yoroi, I don't get careless with kids at all.
I'll say this first, once I do my technique...
give up no matter what...
I'll bring it to an end swiftly.
If so, I'll also...
bring it to an end swiftly!
Now then, please begin...
the third battle!
Hey, can you hear it?
The clear, blue sky goes on and on
The ocean spans limitlessly
Please keep that smile on your face forever
Or else I'll cry
You won't have to search around you
It's all ok now.
Everyone is inside this hand
when you want to cry, and you want to run away
When you forget what happiness is
Just sing.
Light is born, and darkness was born
The two are one
Harmonia, feel the telepathy
Hey, can you hear it?
I believed in your words the whole time.
I wanted to be like you.
I thought it would be nice if that happened.
So Ino, I want to fight the full tilt you.
I'm no longer like I was before.
There's no point if I don't exceed the serious you.

Let's have a fair fight.
