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
The Beast Within
Sasuke!
Why...?!
Why do you run away?!
Sasuke!
Don't...
be staring at...
people!
He's faster than earlier!
The medicine from earlier...
Was there some kind of special ingredient in it or something...?
Not... bad...
Moving around kind of... made me feel super weird...
Oh, my...!
What was that...all of a sudden... ?
Did he really...fall asleep...?
You fell for it, eh?!
It looked like I was sleeping, but actually I wasn't!
This is the Shinobi secret...!
Guy Sensei... I did it!
Guy Sensei... I... I...
You fell for it yet again, huh?! Hey!
You're sorely mistaken if you think I'm the kind of person
to sleep spread eagle in a place like this!
I... I...
What...? What am I doing in a place like this...?
What...?
Why...? Why...?
Alcohol...?
He's just drunk, huh...?
If so... I'll send you to another world before you can even feel pain...
Damn it... I don't have enough Chakra...
At this rate...
As might be expected, things will get hairy
if I stay in the water any longer with this wound...
Why won't it hit?!
And here I was sleeping comfortably...
You're a buzzing, annoying fly!
Hey! Bring it on! Hey c'mon... I'll show you...
What're...those movements...?
As you know, in that technique...
one gets stronger the more one drinks and the more one gets drunk.
I know...
At the restaurant before...
When Lee mistook it for water and drank a small cup of alcohol...
It took Neji and me, the both of us, to finally... be able to overpower Lee.
You couldn't restrain him yourself...?
I could overpower him if I was fighting him as an enemy...
But well, I couldn't inflict a serious injury on my beloved student...
That's right...
That's how it was just with one small cup, so...
If he were to drink an entire bottle of alcohol...
An invincible strength, huh...?
But it's just after he got out of the hospital.
How long will his body hold on for...?
A Loopy Fist User, huh...? It's my first time seeing one...
If you're not going to come... then I'll go!
His attacks are straight as usual...
Oh!
Ouch!
It's your fault!
I... I...!
I'm enjoying my youth!
He's too unorthodox...
And most of all...he's fast!
Right in the middle of my youth...
Dance of the Camellia!
Here!
I can't read his movements...
An attack on me... That's quite some Taijutsu...
I have no choice...
My attack ability is bones...
You heard that earlier from the Clone brat, right...?
I'll sober you up right away.
I'm... not drunk... or anything!
Then I'll wake you up!
I'm not drunk or anything!
In the first place, I'm a minor!
Minors shouldn't drink at all!
Unorthodox, isn't it...? This is my Kekkei Genkai.
Calm down...Think of a strategy...
Seek...some kind of possibility...
Humph. With that wound...
It seems he wasn't able to escape very far at all...
This is my limit... I can't move...
Damn it... He's already caught up?
And...
My head's pounding...
And what's with this wound...?
It seems I was drunk, eh...?
Your appearance...!
It seems you've sobered up... This is my Kekkei Genkai...
Kekkei Genkai...
My Kekkei Genkai freely controls osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells...
It even controls the concentration of calcium. It's an ability to form bones.
Basically, there are over two hundred bones in the human body...
But for me, that's not a set number.
But bones are bones, after all!
If they break, they break!
Wh What a hardness...!
Are these really human bones... ?!
If so...!
Larch Dance.
I've had it...
A little more... you clod.
It's not like the time before with Asuma...
A Asuma!
There's probably zero possibility of someone coming to help...
Hey, what's the point of thinking about someone helping...?!
Calm down!
The smell is moving away...
I'm saved...
Who is?
How?!
I knew it...
My coat?!
It seems you didn't notice your own smell that you're routinely used to smelling...
With that you erased your own smell?
You understand well the attributes of scent. It figures why I didn't smell you.
And... as would be expected,
it's tough having you guys split up in two to search for me...
Damn it...
Please wait!
The real deal... is from now!
My role now is to stall this person as long as possible...
So, I should've avoided a big technique that could be self defeating...
But it seems this isn't an opponent easy enough to be able to beat
without using my Secret Technique...
Here I go!
I just had surgery and am not at my best.
But if it'd just be opening the first of the Eight Inner Gates, The Gate of Opening,
I should somehow...
The first gate... Gate of Opening...
Open!
Primary Lotus!
The impact of the kick was suppressed by the bones... ?!
That's some speed... But it's over.
Damn it... No matter how much I think, I can't come up with any good strategies!
I've had it...can't hold any further...
With me right in front of you, you can't even howl like a loser...?
Eh?!
Die!
You're mine!
Don't you be smiling before you're going to die!
What?!
Who're you?!
Heh... It seems you're an ally this time...
Who're you?!
A Sand...
Shinobi...
ally of the Leaf!
For the first time, I spoke to you
And you smiled
For the first time, I was able to speak
In my own words
Would you think it was a bother if I approached you?
Despite my doubts, I worked up my courage
My clumsy attempts with words
You listened without turning away
No wonder I get carried away by you
But you don't feel anything for me, do you?
I feel so sad
But...
For the first time, I spoke to you
And you smiled
For the first time, I was able to speak
In my own words
For the first time, I spoke to you
And you smiled
For the first time, I was able to speak
In my own words
For the first time, I spoke to you
I heard that the Sand and Leaf had made up, but...
It wasn't that we attacked the Leaf Village for the fun of it.
It was just a mission, same as this time.
Humph! I see.
By the way, weren't you three headed this way together?
We had no choice. Since you guys are weak...
Idiot. Don't take them lightly. These guys are out of the ordinary.
