Connecting old words that have been used up
I just want to convey my simple thoughts
That day's faint wind blows away
at the castle ruins of yesterday
I'll laugh with you and live for the moment
Still that incident will continue to trouble you, right?
That's why it must be good bye
Leaving nothing behind, let us share what is left
In time, we'll realize that it was everything
And sadness will touch our cheeks, creating a river of tears
Trembling thoughts swept into a vortex and melting away
Byakugan!
Caught'em!
All right! All right! I'll drag Sasuke back without fail!
Naruto! Hate to tell you this,
but I'm gonna demonstrate my new Jutsu right here!
Me, too!
Don't be so hasty.
As soon as preparations have been made to implement my strategy...
we'll make direct contact with the target!
It looks like they haven't noticed us yet.
Huh? Sasuke isn't there.
It appears that...
he's inside that "coffin."
What's this?
I poked the bush for kicks
and out comes not even a snake, but just two bugs.
Hey, wait a minute! Wait!
We didn't come here to fight.
We just came here to negotiate!
Huh, then...
What are they?!
There's no point to that Smoke Bomb.
You can't run away from me.
It's string that's thinner and stronger than wire that you can hardly see.
My string is placed all over this place.
Darn.
Those two types of wires on the trap were on purpose...
It was actually a triple trap.
Darn.
Didn't think they had one with such ability in the group...
You will be...!
What's going on...? My body...
Nice! Kiba, Shikamaru!
Shadow Possession Jutsu succeeded!
But... There is one with ability like this, too.
Thanks for getting caught so nicely in my strategy.
Darn... But...
I have this kind of ability, too.
Where did it come from?
Earth Style Barrier!
Earth Dome Prison!
Squad Mutiny. Everything Falls Apart!
Darn!
Where is this?
Inside of that big guy's barrier.
Darn!
These guys are mine. I want to recover as much as possible.
Once you're done eating, catch up with us,
we're going ahead.
Come quickly.
Let us out! You!
Be quiet, Naruto!
From the looks of it, it just looks like a dirt wall...
It's their Jutsu, there must be some kind of trap.
I don't know what it's made of,
but we're just going to have to tear this wall down!
Even though it's dangerous to be careless,
actually it's more dangerous to remain silent here.
Tunneling Fang!
The wall is restoring itself...
Hey...
I saw that.
Let us out!
It's not just a dirt wall, after all.
Byakugan!
Th This is...
What is it? What's happening?
This is bad. Chakra's getting sucked up...
Darn... I didn't expect that they would just keep us in the barrier,
but I didn't predict that they would suck our Chakra either.
Man. How dare they! Let us out of here already!
I've had a good amount of Chakra. Thank you for the meal.
I feel like my body energy is being sucked out.
It won't be good if we stay like this here, Shikamaru.
It was careless to get caught
before we even figured out our enemy's powers.
On top of all that...inside here.
Darn! I'm going to make an air hole before all my Chakra is gone!
Akamaru!
The Food Pills!
Akamaru! Human Mimicry Ninja Art!
And for me, Beast Mimicry Ninja Art!
Fang Over Fang
All right! Good going, Kiba.
It's useless...
Darn! It starts to restore the moment it's hit.
Same with the ground.
At this rate, we won't be able to keep up for another ten minutes.
We'll lose all our Chakra and be totally annihilated...
I can't use the Rasengan that requires extremely difficult Chakra control
especially in a place like this that sucks the Chakra out of us.
Darn!
Hey, I want you to listen to me! I want to talk to your leader.
We won't go after Sasuke anymore, so let us out of here!
Hey...
Shikamaru, what are you saying?
Pleading for your life, how interesting...
But you guys are my prey, I can't let you out.
Then... just let me out on my own.
This battle...
is such a pain.
You! Do you know what you're saying?
Shut up, Kiba, be quiet...
What?!
A split in the group, huh?
Seems like you're the leader, but...
I didn't think you would be the only one begging for your life!
You really see a human's true nature when one is pushed to the edge of death.
You're such a low life creature,
you're not qualified to be responsible for the lives of your platoon members.
I've saved the most important thing for last...
To abandon Sasuke and to even sell out on your own platoon...
Is that what it means to be a Chunin of the Leaf?
Sasuke is a Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
He is a comrade!
Therefore, I will put my life on the line to help him!
That's the way of the Leaf Village.
Someone like you deserves to die... I won't let you out.
Shikamaru! I believed in you, but now I've lost confidence in you!
Let's take this outside!
Hey, we can't get out! You fool!
That's why we're in this situation!
What do you mean by "fool"?
I'm just speaking the truth, fool!
Oh! You said "fool" again!
Everybody, be quiet for a second!
Choji?
Now he's squatting down. What is he thinking
Hey! Why are you eating snacks all of a sudden?!
Choji binge eats when he gets upset...
Geez, another useless guy.
It can't be helped! In this case, Shadow Clone...!
Stop it.
The enemy's Chakra is placed all over that wall.
Even if you are able to scratch it, the wall will restore itself right away.
In other words, it's useless unless we can attack it
with a Taijutsu that has enough power to destroy this wall with one blow.
Somebody that has a Taijutsu with greater destructive power than mine
would be Choji, but...
At this rate...
Darn, what do we do!
Neji... I'm sorry, but can you use the rest of the Chakra you have
to observe the wall behind you and the wall behind Choji?
I got it.
Shikamaru! You be quiet!
Naruto!
You still don't understand?!
Remember what Shikamaru said when he gathered everyone!
Even I can't just sit back and be a sluggard.
Because I'm responsible for your lives.
Choji, don't raise your voice too much from here.
Kiba, dent that wall behind Neji and Choji again!
Y Yeah...
Huh! I don't fully understand what's going on,
but I'll go wild one more time!
Tunneling Fang!
Huh! No matter how hard you try, it's useless!
Huh, I see...
It's over there.
Nej
Mark that spot with the Kunai Knife.
Choji, are you ready?!
Okay! Any time!
All right, let's do this.
What's happening?!
Like I said earlier, the wall's surface is planted with Chakra.
But even this tough wall could have an area that have a thin layer of Chakra.
That is what Shikamaru speculated.
How... How did you get all of that?
Think about what happened earlier.
Because he noticed that there were areas that restored quickly
and others that didn't so quickly
when Kiba and Akamaru attacked the wall surface.
In other words, he guessed that those areas that didn't restore quickly
probably has a thin layer of Chakra.
On top of all that, by cleverly talking to the enemy,
he figured out the position of the enemy outside of the wall.
He guessed that the wall furthest from the enemy
probably had the thinnest point of Chakra,
so that's what he wanted to confirm.
That's what it is, correct?
I see, in order to trick the enemy, you must trick your friends first.
I didn't see that there was such a plan behind that conversation.
Then, Choji realiz ed the plan
and the reason why he was eating was to replenish his Chakra.
These two...
They haven't been working together as a team all these years for nothing.
I'm depending on you, Choji.
Yeah!
Expansion Jutsu!
All right, let's go!
Human Boulder!
What?!
Choji... You are awesome, after all!
Once in a long while, once in a while
The remnants of a person broken by dreams
Look like a mountain
Clinging to the Divine, clinging to Buddha
The remnants of a person crying
Look like a mountain
Rendezvous with a happy dance circle
This is my victory pose, round and around (round around)
Shake shake shake Let's look
With a bye bye rhythm that never ends
Look like a mountain
Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden, Choji!
There's no way that's possible!
But, Choji is right.
If we keep lagging, we won't be able to catch up with Sasuke.
But still...
Don't worry. I have an idea.
Choji, are you possibly thinking...
Do you have a plan or something?
Yeah.
Hey! Choji!
That's right! I have that secret weapon of mine!
Next time: "Full Throttle Power! Choji A blaze!"
I'm the one who will defeat that guy!
