[DISTANT GRUNTS, SHOUTS, AND CLASHING WEAPONS]
‐Are you all right?
‐What are they, immortal?
[music playing]
‐Not good.
Hurry, everyone fall back.
‐Giant sand barrier.
‐About time, Gaara.
‐So, who are we dealing with?
‐We’re not sure.
They all just came up out of the sea
when we set up camp for the night.
‐They’re not getting away!
‐Hang on!
Don’t go out there.
[snapping and shouts]
‐We’re at a complete disadvantage at sea,
and it’s pitch black out there.
‐Fire off a few flares.
‐Right.
‐Huh?
What on earth is that?
I’ve never seen a boat like it in my life.
[creaking]
‐No!
[music playing]
‐[giggling]
‐Oh.
‐Oh yeah, we got him!
‐Hey, this is important.
Be quiet.
[clattering]
[squeaking]
[music playing]
‐We did it! [laughing gleefully]
‐Well now, you’re friendly, aren’t you, boy?
‐His hind legs have got black fur on them.
Yep.
It looks like we bagged our animal.
You gonna cage him?
‐[laughing] I can’t believe this fur ball fell for such a lame
trap.
‐[growling]
‐What is it?
‐Naruto, stop antagonizing him.
‐What do you mean?
What did I do?
Ah!
SHIKAMARU: You knucklehead.
Don’t let him get away.
‐If you lose him, I’ll beat [inaudible].
‐Ah!
‐[sigh]
‐Idiot!
‐[dazed laughter]
NARUTO: Man, I can’t believe someone
would pay us to find this rabid little run.
He’s like the meanest cat ever.
‐Quit you complaining, will you?
A mission’s a mission.
Besides, the hard part’s over.
Now we just have to deliver him to his owner.
‐And he’s not a cat, Naruto.
Haven’t you ever seen a ferret before?
Just look at him.
He’s totally adorable.
‐Whatever.
Let’s just dump him, and get back to the leaf village
already.
‐So if we cross this bridge‐‐
‐All right!
‐Naruto, slow down!
‐Come on, guys.
Let’s get this mission over with‐‐ whoa!
[whimpering]
‐What are you doing, you idiot?
It says right over there that this bridge is dangerous!
And I don’t care about you.
What do we do if something happens to the ferret?
NARUTO: Oh, man, Sakura.
That’s cold.
SAKURA: Shikamaru?
Is something wrong?
SHIKAMARU: Maybe.
The village that hired us, it’s just beyond that field.
I don’t know.
Something feels kind of strange here.
‐Why?
What do you mean?
SHIKAMARU: It’s the middle of the day,
and there’s not a single person in sight.
SAKURA: Now that you mention it‐‐
‐Well, what do you know?
Ah!
‐OK, let’s start running recon tactics.
I’ll take the woods to the west.
You two head over the opposite end, all right?
NARUTO AND SAKURA: Got it.
‐I hope this doesn’t turn out to be a drag.
‐Just beyond those trees.
‐[squeaking]
‐Hey, keep a lid on it, will ya?
‐I wonder what’s got him all riled up.
‐Huh?
What the?
Guys,
SAKURA: [screaming]
‐Hey, what’s going on?
‐Who the heck are you guys?
Huh?
[screaming]
‐Naruto!
‐We’ve got company over here.
SHIKAMARU: On my way.
‐What are they?
You want to play?
Oh yeah!
[music playing]
‐[grunting]
Uzumaki Barrage!
Heh!
Huh?
So you’re the leader then, huh?
Hiya!
Why you!
Ah!
[grunting]
Ah!
[panting]
SAKURA: [screaming]
‐Sakura!
‐Naruto!
You jerk, put me down right now!
‐You coward.
Let her go, pal, just you and me.
‐Hmm.
‐I mean it.
I won’t ask again!
‐Shadow Possession Jutsu.
Hah.
Naruto, leave that one to me.
‐Right.
I don’t care who you guys are.
I’m taking you all out at once.
Multi Shadow Clone!
Let’s go!
[music playing]
‐Rasengan!
‐Rising Thunder!
‐Oh!
[music playing]
‐Whoa!
‐Ah!
‐Naruto!
‐This is bad.
‐Naruto.
[distant explosions]
‐Sakura, this way!
[music playing]
‐[gasp]
‐What the heck is that?
[distant voices]
‐Wha?
Ah!
Hmm?
‐Now that you’re finally up, try not to move around too much.
I didn’t think you’d wake up for another two or three
days at least.
‐So who are you, gramps?
‐I’m the elder of this caravan.
The name’s Kahiko.
‐Caravan?
‐That’s right, young one.
The villages refer to us as the nomadic tribe.
We travel near and far, as the seasons dictate.
Have for centuries.
h yeah?
‐Fortune was smiling on you, my boy.
If we hadn’t been passing by the moment we did,
the river would’ve watched the two of you away.
‐Hey!
It’s you!
[growling]
‐Hey, he’s regained consciousness as well.
You, you jerk!
What the hell was that all about back there?
What did I ever do to you?
‐[whimpering]
‐Well now, it’s good to see you’ve got your energy back,
son.
‐[screaming]
‐Let’s not have any fighting, shall we?
When traveling together, our differences are put aside.
‐Yeah, but gramps, this guy‐‐ huh?
Huh?
You again?
Why I oughtta‐‐
[music playing]
‐‐[chuckling] My recovery time is crazy.
Most of my injuries heal in a day.
‐Must be very convenient.
Your new friend over there is pretty impressive as well.
Well, he’s healing almost as quickly as you are.
‐Huh?
No kidding.
Hmm.
‐Ah, goodness.
I certainly envy your youth, gentlemen.
‐Careful, old man.
That critter’s about as vicious as they come.
‐‐[laughing] I know Nerugui is a shy one.
But I’ve never known him to bite anybody.
‐Wait, are you saying you know this cat?
‐Indeedy I do.
It’s the first time he’s ever been
separated from the caravan.
Isn’t that right, Nerugui?
I’m sure you’re glad to be back safe and sound with us again,
eh?
‐Heh.
‐We all cherish him.
He’s our little treasure.
The truth, is I’m actually the one
who hired the village hidden in the leaves to find him.
‐No fooling.
So it was you, huh?
‐We move around all year.
We’re never in one place.
So we asked that he be delivered to one
of the villages on the border.
How did you all wind up here.
‐Our team got ambushed by him.
KAHIKO: Hey, Nerugui.
‐Look at that.
Not so shy now, is he, gramps.
‐Well, how do you like that?
SAKURA: This area is crawling with those guys.
SHIKAMARU: Yeah.
‐Who are they?
You got any ideas?
‐Beats me.
OK, Sakura.
You keep looking around, and see if can find Naruto.
If he turns up, radio in.
‐I’m on it.
What about you?
‐I need to check something out.
[music playing]
MASTER HAIDO: Come, my boy.
[music playing]
[crickets chirping]
‐Master Haido.
NARUTO: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold up a second.
You’re saying this caravan has always
been traveling like this?
‐That’s right.
The land we all hail from was destroyed.
And we’ve been traveling ever since.
‐Your whole country was destroyed?
‐It’s an ancient story, passed down through our clan.
According to the legend, we had a beautiful homeland.
But it was completely wiped out.
‐Whoa.
What happened.
‐Supposedly, there was a great catastrophe of some sort.
Our home was lost.
And the people of our clan were scattered to the wind.
From then on, we became a tribe of wandering nomads.
KAHIKO: There were even some of us who crossed the ocean.
‐The ocean?
‐Actually, Nerugui is evidence of all this.
He lived among our ancestors in the days of yore.
This little ferret is living proof
that we had a country long ago.
‐[laughing] Ah, go on, gramps.
If that were true, he’d have been alive a pretty long time
now, huh?
‐Oh, it’s true, though.
He’s no spring chicken.
‐Uh huh.
‐Nerugui is even older than grandpa, if you can believe it.
‐Come on, give me a break, will ya?
‐Hard to wrap your brain around, isn’t it?
Our people have been looking after him for generations now.
‐Hmm.
‐That’s why Nerugui doesn’t take to anyone outside the caravan.
He stays amongst his own.
‐[squeak]
‐Oh!
‐Uh.
‐At least I thought he did.
‐That’s the second time he’s done that.
‐Nerugui, aww.
Are you OK?
What’s the matter?
‐Hey, are you ready to talk yet, or what?
How come you attacked us out of nowhere like that, huh?
Hey, I’m talking to you.
‐Uh, that power you were using, what is it?
‐Huh?
What power?
You mean my chakra?
‐Chakra?
TEMUJIN (VOICEOVER): It’s true.
I don’t sense any gelel from him.
‐Come on.
Let’s go.
I want answers here.
Just who the heck are you, pal?
‐I’m here to build a utopia.
‐Uh, utopia?
‐That’s a very interesting power you have.
You should come with me.
‐Eh?
Look, I don’t understand what you’re talking about here.
‐Just think about it.
‐Argh.
When pigs fly, I will.
Why would I go anywhere with you?
I’m asking you why you attacked me.
Do I have to tie you up, and force you to‐‐ whoa!
Hey, wait!
Where are you going?
Help!
[giggling]
‐Uh, mm.
Oh!
‐[gasp]
[crash]
[scream]
‐Anya, what happened?
[interposing voices]
FEMALE SPEAKER: Are you hurt?
MALE SPEAKER: Hey, hey, you OK?
‐What were you thinking?
Oh, I can’t thank you enough.
‐Hmm?
‐I’m through here.
My debt to these people has been repaid.
‐Oh?
‐Aw, come on.
There’s no end to them in sight.
They’re everywhere.
[dramatic music playing]
SHIKAMARU: It doesn’t look like they’re conscious.
‐I don’t know how much longer I can watch these brats,
you know?
‐Easy now.
Watch your temper, dear.
Lay off, will you?
‐Once the Stone of Gelel is in our possession,
we’ll have no further use for them.
Just have a little bit of patience.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, we could sure use its power now.
‐[gasp]
‐Huh?
NARUTO: [screaming] he cut and ran, that jerk.
If you think I’m going to let you get away,
you’re out of your bleeding‐‐ huh?
‐How on earth could this have happened?
‐What’s up?
Is there a problem here, gramps?
‐I can’t find Nerugui.
He vanished.
‐Does that mean he’s run of with what’s his face?
‐Yes.
What was the point of spending all that money
on the unparalleled shinobi of the Leaf Village?
‐Hold on a sec.
We delivered him, just as you requested.
‐Quiet!
I told you to deliver him to the next village.
Besides, I just finished telling you Nerugui is gone.
‐Look, be reasonable.
‐‐[sigh] If I knew this was going to happen,
I would have hired those legendary sand ninja from
the get go.
‐Argh.
OK.
I get it already!
SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.
Someone’s been here.
Could it be‐‐
‐So I finally caught up with you.
All right.
Just give me back the cat.
‐[hissing]
‐Why you‐‐ huh?
What is all this?
Who are you, anyway?
‐My name is Temujin.
Come.
I’ll introduce you to Master Haido.
‐Uh, hey, hold on.
Wait up, will ya?
So who’s this Master Haido guy?
‐He’s my lord, and a man of great strength.
You’ll see when you meet him.
‐Huh?
So what’s the deal with all these big goons everywhere?
You friends with them?
‐They’re just soldiers who are dedicated to the cause.
All of my comrades are‐‐
[ding]
‐I have returned, my lord.
‐Ah, Temujin.
Good to have you back.
You’re the one, aren’t you?
Temujin let me know he was bringing you.
He tells me you possess quite an interesting power.
‐That’s correct.
Allow me to show you.
‐What is this?
‐Stand and fight!
‐No, Temujin!
Stop this unnecessary fighting.
‐My lord.
‐Resorting to violence is never the answer, my son.
Naruto, we have traveled far and wide,
trying to create a utopia.
NARUTO: Wh‐‐ what’s a utopia?
HAIDO: Well, to put it simply, a world
where there are no longer any wars, and the weak
are never oppressed.
NARUTO: A world without any war?
‐Yes.
The land we’ve traveled here from
is a far off continent, ravaged by conflict.
War is an ugly thing, a source of boundless
sorrow, bestowing naught but misfortune on man.
Temujin knows this all too well.
He lost his homeland to strife.
‐So does that mean you’re all alone, then?
‐No.
I have Master Haido.
‐When he was a boy, Temujin was left
to survive in the ruins of his shattered village.
I made a decision when I found him.
I wanted to protect the weak in any way I could,
to create a world where fighting was no longer necessary.
That is our utopia.
It is my only dream.
For the sake of that dream, I’ve traveled the world,
gathering believers.
It has taken time for us to make it as far as we have.
And it grieves me to admit, many noble people
have been sacrificed along the way.
Tell me, Naruto, would you like to join us?
We could use someone like you.
Together, we can make the world a better place.
‐Hmm.
It’s not like it isn’t tempting.
But I’m going to be Hokage someday.
So‐‐
‐Hokage?
‐Yeah.
That’s what we call the top ninja in my village.
‐I see.
‐Tell you what, though.
I can’t go with you.
But I’ll do my best to keep everyone happy back home.
How’s that sound?
‐Well, I’m sure we’ll both do the best we can.
‐Uh.
‐Goodness me.
Who is your little friend here?
‐My apologies.
I spent some time with a caravan.
And he took a bit of a shine to me.
‐A caravan, you say?
My, isn’t that interesting.
[hissing and growling]
‐A caravan.
FEMALE SPEAKER (ON INTERCOM): Master Haido, we
have a problem.
‐Tell me, what’s wrong?
FEMALE SPEAKER (ON INTERCOM): The fleet
we sent to the land of wind was annihilated.
‐The land of wind?
‐I’m on my way.
‐Hey.
Hold up.
What’s going on?
[ding]
‐We’ve no other choice.
Fugai.
FEMALE SPEAKER (ON INTERCOM): Yes, my lord.
‐There’s somewhere I need you to go for me, my child.
‐What the heck happened here?
Huh?
‐Hold up.
What is this all about?
Well?
[gasp]
KANKURO: Naruto, what are you doing here?
‐Huh?
Kankuro?
‐You got it.
Thought you could sneak up on us, huh?
You shouldn’t underestimate the shinobi of the hidden sand.
‐I don’t get it.
What happened out here.
‐Oh man.
You didn’t know about this?
These people invaded the land of wind from out of nowhere.
‐Are you serious?
We’ve had quite a few casualties trying to stop their rampage.
Whole villages were wiped out in the battle.
‐Tell me, is that the truth?
‐Noble sacrifices for the greater good.
‐Oh, please.
What you say and do are two different things.
‐Look, sorry for butting in.
But I’m going to take him out now.
‐Stay out of this!
He’s my opponent.
You got that?
KANKURO: What?
‐Those who stand in our way will be eliminated.
‐Yeah, whatever.
Huh?
‐Temujin, you know you’re not supposed to be here, you idiot.
Your primary duty is scouting.
‐This one is just acting as a lookout.
There’s another unit waiting nearby.
‐Yes, but‐‐
‐What’s get you so worked up?
‐We’re splitting, before things get ugly around here.
‐Not so fast.
‐Nice of you to finally show up.
‐Oh, all right.
I guess we can play.
‐You fellas should learn when to walk away.
‐This is crazy.
What on earth are you thinking?
‐I already told you, didn’t I?
If one hopes to achieve a higher goal,
certain sacrifices must be made.
‐What?
Look around you.
Aren’t these your friends lying here?
TEMUJIN: They are.
And like me, they were willing to give everything
to bring about our dream of utopia.
‐Spare me, will you?
If they are your friends, you sure don’t act like it.
‐Heh.
You’re pretty good at dodging.
All you got is darkness, huh?
I am not impressed.
[wailing]
FEMALE SPEAKER (VOICEOVER): Hear the cries
of those who stood against us, doomed
to wander the land of death.
KANKURO (VOICEOVER): She uses [inaudible] Jutsu.
FEMALE SPEAKER (VOICEOVER): Prepare yourself
for an eternity of anguish.
‐I hope you know what you’re getting into.
‐Oh, I can handle it.
Come.
‐Sure.
Tornado Lightning!
‐Sand Shower!
‐What’s the matter?
Don’t you want to play?
‐[grunting]
‐[cackling]
I’ll see you on the other side.
‐[inaudible].
‐Thunder Saber!
Huh.
That was easy.
Huh?
[gasp]
‐Sand Burial.
‐There’s no use in struggling.
FEMALE SPEAKER: [cackling] So that’s your game, is it?
‐Have to admit, this girl’s no joke.
‐‐[laughing] I’m not through with you yet.
‐So you can increase your strength
by altering the structure of your body.
‐You got it.
Let’s finish this.
Useless.
That’s not going to work against my plasma ball.
Take that!
Pathetic.
Well, that takes care of that.
[gasp]
GAARA: First time facing a shinobi?
‐What?
You’re still alive?
‐Billowing Sand Tsunami.
[explosions]
‐‐[laughing] all of your sand is worthless against
my electricity, kid.
‐Provided you still have it.
‐You’re no match for me!
‐Think so, huh?
Sand Lightning Rod!
gasp]
[wailing]
‐Giant Sand Barrier!
FEMALE SPEAKER: [screaming]
‐OH, I don’t believe it.
Huh?
KANKURO: Hah.
Found you.
‐[gasp]
‐You’re not leaving, are you?
‐You should have walked when you had the chance, sweetie.
‐Heh.
‐What happened to her?
Nice trick.
‐[laughing]
‐Hey, we’re not through yet.
‐Ah!
Now what?
‐Temujin, withdraw.
‐Not a chance!
You’re not going anywhere.
‐Let go of me, you idiot.
‐Hah, forget it.
Huh?
What the?
‐Losing my grip.
‐Huh?
What the heck are you even doing up here?
[screaming]
‐Where’s the stone?
‐What makes you think I know anything about that?
‐Are you playing dumb with me?
‐[groaning and spluttering]
‐What?
‐Shadow possession complete.
‐[grunting]
‐Take it easy now.
Are you all right?
‐We saw your signal flare pretty flashy.
‐Who are you?
‐By the way, don’t bother calling for your goon squad.
I don’t think they can make it.
Useless bunch of lugs, aren’t they?
‐[growling]
‐What in the?
‐[howling]
‐Huh?
What was that?
A wolf?
‐[coughing]
‐Catch your breath.
‐Thank you.
‐Hey, grandpa, what is this Stone of Gelel?
‐Gelel?
‐Look, I know it’s got nothing to do with us.
I’m just a little curious, is all.
They were talking about it back in their stronghold.
‐So you think they need it to achieve their goal, somehow?
‐The stone could very well be their goal.
Well, anyway, it’s no skin off our backs
if you don’t want to tell us.
We’ve got a friend around here to look for.
Come on, Sakura.
‐Yeah, but‐‐
‐Just a moment.
Is this friend you speak of Naruto?
‐Wait a minute.
Are you telling us that you’ve seen him?
‐Please help me.
I have no one else to turn to.
If we don’t hurry, something terrible is going to happen.
‐What are you talking about?
‐[sigh]
‐If they were your friends‐‐
‐You don’t know anything about me.
‐‐[whimpering] What do we do, Temujin?
Everyone’s dead.
‐Don’t cry.
‐Yeah, but‐‐
‐A tragedy.
You two are the only survivors of this village.
In a true utopian society, this sort of misfortune
would never happen.
‐A utopia?
‐It’s a world free of war, a dream I’ve devoted my life to.
Amazing, isn’t it?
If I can only gather enough of the Stone of Gelel,
I’ll be able to this world entirely
of war‐‐ ugly, sorrowful war.
MALE SPEAKER (VOICEOVER): It’s amazing
how you’ve incorporated the Stone of Gelel.
‐Think so?
‐Are you serious?
course it is.
I’m really, really proud of you.
‐I appreciate it.
‐I wish that I could be like you.
I only have power when I climb in there.
But our hearts are still one.
We’re friends.
Nothing can change that.
We mustn’t let other villages suffer like ours did.
We give our all for utopia.
[beeps and static]
‐What’s wrong?
FEMALE SPEAKER (ON RADIO): You blind little fool!
That caravan you were traipsing around with
had info on the Stone of Gelel!
‐What?
‐So this lead, then, has the trail gone cold?
‐I had Temujin head out after them.
Well done my dear.
The day when he has failed to meet my expectations
has not yet come.
All thanks to that power he wields, fortunately.
‐What?
‐We’ve been waiting for ya.
What’s up?
NARUTO: You idiot!
Do you realize what you’ve done to those people?
‐I have nothing further to say to you.
‐Oh yeah?
‐Hold on, now Naruto.
You let me talk to him for a bit.
‐It never occurred to me that you’d
know anything about the Stones.
‐Never mind that.
Why are you after them?
‐They’re essential to our cause.
‐You don’t know the horror those Stones carry with them.
They must never be returned to this world, you understand me?
‐Save your lecture for someone else.
‐[gasp]
‐It’s just as I thought.
hat is that light?
KAHIKO: This is a crystal of Gelel,
the source of all life energy.
‐I know more about the Stones than anybody.
‐That explains your power of recovery.
How exactly did you come by it?
‐It was given to me, by my Master Haido.
‐I see.
And is that the only Stone you have in your possession?
‐Hmm?
‐That’s peculiar.
If you’re a descendant of our clan’s ancestors
who traveled across the sea, why wouldn’t you
know that, I wonder.
Was the Book of Gelel lost then?
‐What in the world are you talking about?
‐In the days of old, it was only the royal family members
that let our clan who were able to fuse the Stones of Gelel
with the flesh of the body.
Naruto, I spoke to you of this the other day,
how some of our people took to the sea
after our country was lost.
‐Huh.
Now that you mention it.
‐According to legend, it was the royal family itself
that left, taking the book of Gelel,
and the last of the remaining stone across the waves.
Temujin, wasn’t it?
You haven’t come to a new land, boy.
You’re returning home.
You and I are of the same people,
both descended from a single clan.
We know little of the Stones’ origin.
But it seems that in very early times,
a mysterious vein of mineral was discovered.
Our ancestors were able to refine it
in a crystallized form.
And they name the mineral Gelel.
A vast empire was built on this content,
with the precious stone as its foundation.
Wells never ran dry.
Livestock multiplied overnight.
And trees continually bore fruit.
It’s even said that they looked for ways
to stop all life from aging.
‐First I ever heard of it.
‐This was a very long time ago.
But as is often the case, great however brought with it
unimaginable catastrophe.
People fought and quarrelled shamelessly over the Stones.
And in the end, their power was used to wage a massive war.
Mountain and earth were ripped asunder,
until eventually the back obliterated the empire
altogether.
SAKURA: How awful.
KAHIKO: Only a handful of the young survived.
Our ancestors sealed away the coveted mineral,
deep underground, and vowed never
to revive the Stone again.
‐If it was really that dangerous,
why didn’t they try to get rid of it for good?
‐Because the Stones can only be destroyed
by those of royal blood.
But with the royal family lost to us forever,
we can only watch over them, guarding their secret
with every generation.
The legends have slowly faded away.
And one day, the story of our past
will just die out altogether.
‐Die out?
Fade away?
Hearing all that, my resolve is stronger than ever before.
Nothing will stop me from getting those Stones now.
‐Why you.
Weren’t you even listening?
‐Power is power, nothing more.
The only thing that matters is who’s wielding it.
‐The Stone is too dangerous to the world of men.
It must never be woken from its slumber.
‐Whatever power it may hold, Master Haido
will use it justly.
War breeds only suffering.
But without someone guiding us from above,
there can be no end to bloodshed.
This is what my master teaches.
The truth of his words is etched into my heart.
In the fog of war, my village fell prey to brigands.
Those of us who survived were orphaned.
But Master Haido took us in.
I want to grant him his wish, to free this world of war.
My comrades and I feel the same.
No sacrifice is too great.
That is my only dream.
And I need the Stone of Gelel to bring it about!
‐Huh!
‐He was faking us out from the beginning.
‐No way!
‐All right.
You’re going to tell me where the mines of Gelel are hidden.
‐I will not.
ou leave me no choice.
‐Ah!
‐That dirty‐‐ come on!
We’ve got to go after him.
‐Emina, do you think you could tell us
where the mines of Gelel are located.
‐I would if I could But only my grandfather knows.
‐We could sure use a ninja hound right now.
Huh.
‐Hey, you think?
‐This is it.
I’m sorry for treating you so roughly, little one.
Now go on.
[ping]
‐Well?
‐Everything’s ready.
‐Wonderful.
‐Let’s say we get moving then, shall we?
‐Does he even know where he’s going?
‐Doesn’t matter.
He’s the only shot we have.
‐Hey, an exit!
‐Whoa!
‐Naruto, do something.
‐Huh?
[grunting]
[squeak]
‐There he is!
‐You know this place.
Lead the way.
‐Follow me.
NARUTO: Hey!
You let gramps go!
‐Stay out of this!
‐What in the world is that?
‐Master Haido, the mines of Gelel lie below.
‐Thank you, son.
I’m in your debt.
Because of all your sacrifice, our utopia
is finally near at hand.
TEMUJIN: Yes, my lord.
‐Very well then, everyone.
Let’s get going.
SHIKAMARU: Hold on a second.
Sorry.
I hate to be rude, a and all.
But I had a couple of questions.
‐Master Haido.
‐Easy Kamira.
I’m fine.
A bit unsettling, though.
Good manners are such a rarity.
He’s not a friend of yours, now is he, Naruto?
I’m a little puzzled, my boy.
We made a promise to one another, did we not?
We swore that we do our best to make this world a better place.
‐Whatever, pal.
You’re the only one who should be explaining himself here.
‐What do you plan to do once you get the stone?
What’s your end game?
‐What’ll I do?
Why I’m going to create a utopia, a world without war,
where the weak will be free from the weight of oppression.
‐It’s funny, though, you know.
Because it looks like you’re doing
the exact opposite of that.
‐All that I do this in the name of true justice.
‐And why attack an innocent caravan?
Is that justice?
‐It couldn’t be avoided.
My children and I have made great sacrifices,
you see‐‐ noble sacrifices, necessary to finally create
a world free of war.
NARUTO: Hey, old man, people gave their lives
for your dream.
Do you even care?
But in your book, they were just a means to an end.
Is that all your fallen comrades are to you now?
‐This is what it means to accomplish something.
‐So you don’t mind that these noble sacrifices
are your friends.
‐That’s right.
‐I’ve accepted it, as the rest of my brethren have done.
‐It can’t be helped.
We share a common vision.
Each of us dreams of a world where
peace is finally possible.
‐Then they’re not really your friends, are they?
‐And why is that?
‐I don’t know how to put it exactly,
but, but a friend, a friend is someone that matters.
They should be the most precious thing
in the whole world to you!
For the longest time, I was alone.
But I made friends.
And that loneliness went away.
That’s why I dream of becoming Hokage‐‐
so I can protect all the people who are important to me.
This utopia you talk about, who’s it even for?
Dreams that don’t include your friends
are nothing but garbage.
That’s why I’m putting an end to all this!
‐Huh?
‐Old man, what do you think you’re doing?
‐It’s time this thing was eliminated from the world one
and for all, even if it means our doom!
‐Oh no, [inaudible].
‐Eliminate the Stone?
That cannot be possible.
Dah!
He must know something.
‐Ah!
‐Hurry.
I’ll catch up to you.
‐Master Haido, return to the stronghold.
‐We’ll never make it in time.
Bring the stronghold with you.
‐Hey.
Huh?
‐Sorry, little boy.
But you’re going to have to deal with me.
‐Hmm?
‐You’ve got some nerve.
‐Naruto, go!
‐Right!
Here I come!
‐Where are we?
‐According to the stories of old, the chamber of sealing.
Everything is just as the legend says.
I’ve never been here in my life, and yet
it all feels familiar somehow.
The images you see were left here by our ancestors
when they sealed this place away.
They depict the terrible power of the Stone of Gelel.
‐What’s this?
‐A portrait of despair, perhaps.
The empire was reduced to nothing,
like the picture you see before you.
‐How promising.
Our search hasn’t been in vain.
It’s all we hoped it would be.
‐And you’re telling me you’re not horrified by all this?
That ghastly picture proves it.
This kind of power breeds only destruction, and nothing more.
‐People will always fight, with or without this power.
We, we shall be wielding it for the greater good.
‐Is that so?
The Stone is further down.
But our journey ends right here!
‐Haha!
Stupid little girl.
Your meddling will get you killed!
‐Ah!
‐Yah!
‐Ah!
‐Oh, come on.
What’s the matter, boy.
Show me what you got.
What happened to that shadow technique of yours?
‐Darn it.
She’s all over the place.
I can’t get a lock.
What do I do.
Think.
Huh?
‐How’d you like that?
Uh‐‐
‐Surprise!
‐Ah!
But I blinded her.
How can she be chasing me?
‐‐[cackling] I can smell your blood.
That’s all I need.
[howling]
‐Huh?
‐[cackling] No use hiding.
[laughing] Where could you be?
Nice knowing ya.
[howling]
[echoes]
‐[moaning]
I’ll kill you!
[screaming]
‐Huh?
‐‐[laughing] You don’t think this will hold me, do you?
‐You probably shouldn’t move around too much, you know?
‐[sigh] Huh.
Oh, look.
An escape route.
Just kidding.
Your shadow’s waiting for me down there, isn’t it, handsome?
[laughing] There’s more than enough room for me up here.
And your shadow still can’t reach me, can it?
Muah.
Bye bye.
Hey.
Let me out.
Let me out!
‐Secret Black Move Iron Maiden Two.
Gotcha.
‐It was just as I planned, more or less.
You saved my butt.
‐Forget it.
I had a score to settle with her, anyway.
You know, all these exploding tags of yours
are going to be a real pain to get around.
‐Don’t worry.
Most of these are just regular old pieces of paper.
‐Really?
‐How foolish.
Did you seriously think you’d surprise me?
‐No, I suppose I didn’t.
But I’ve achieved my goal all the same.
‐What?
‐Do you know what the design on this floor is?
It’s an ancient form of summoning Jutsu, used
to call forth an immeasurable power.
TEMUJIN: What are you getting at?
‐Here we breathe our last!
‐I’m not altogether sure what he was planning there.
But I’m glad I came when I did.
TEMUJIN: Master Haido.
HAIDO: Temujin, are you all right?
‐Master Haido‐‐ how did you?
‐Oh, I was using this.
‐[gasp]
‐[gasp] That’s a Stone of Gelel.
‐‐[chuckling] It’s just like in the book.
Amazing, isn’t it?
I can blow things away without touching them.
‐Are you referring to the book of Gelel?
‐Sorry.
‐How did it come into your possession?
‐Ah, it’s funny, actually.
I bought it from a peddler on the side of the road.
‐That is utterly impossible.
I thought there was something strange here.
You destroyed this boy’s village to get the Stone of Gelel,
didn’t you?
‐‐[chuckling] Oh, what is the cause of all this doubt?
My only goal in life is to rid this world of war.
How could you even say such things?
KAHIKO: One who truly wanted peace would never
seek out the power of Gelel.
‐I desire the ability to put an end to war.
There’s nothing more to it than that.
Let’s see now.
Where might those mines be?
‐I can tell how black your heart is, just
by looking in your eyes.
HAIDO: Hmm.
I don’t even know where to begin.
Hmm?
Could this really be it?
it must be.
The key that grants access to the mines of Gelel.
‐No!
Don’t touch it.
That isn’t meant for you!
Nerugui!
Oh, Nerugui.
HAIDO: Oh, there was a small stone in its mouth.
The poor thing.
Yet another noble sacrifice.
Honestly, those who stand at the top
have to make such tough decisions.
‐I’ve had just about enough of you.
‐Aw, it breaks my heart.
One more sacrifice for the cause, it seems.
‐Ah!
HAIDO: I can’t control my power very well yet.
Hmm.
Well, anyway.
What do you think you’re doing, Temujin?
‐Forgive me, Master.
It’s just, the mines of Gelel are in our possession now.
If we were to toss this helpless old man aside‐‐
HAIDO: That’s not what I meant.
‐Huh?
‐Don’t stand in the way of my target
‐Uh, Master Haido.
‐You heard me, lad.
You’re in the way.
Step aside.
‐What the heck is going on around here?
‐Ah, this is becoming so tiresome.
‐[gasp]
‐Temujin, what are you just standing there for?
Are you going to kill them or not?
‐What the‐‐
‐You call this a noble sacrifice?
HAIDO: What’s wrong?
Take care of them like you always do.
Hurry up!
‐No.
I’ve had enough.
I can’t.
HAIDO: Ah, Temujin, I’m very disappointed in you.
You’re an inferior individual, no different from your parents.
‐Huh?
‐You really are a pathetic little brat.
‐But that’s impossible.
‐[cackling] That’s right.
It was me!
Such blindness, latching on to the very man
who murdered your parents.
What an adorable little pawn you are.
‐[gasp]
‐But now that I know where the stones are, I hardly need you
anymore, do I?
‐Mas‐ter Haido.
‐Die, you good for nothing mongrel.
NARUTO: No!
‐Ugh!
‐Temujin!
‐Now the entire world will fall to it’s knees before me.
‐Temujin!
‐Naruto!
I beg of you, you have to figure out a way to stop him.
‐Argh.
‐Worthless trash.
‐Where do you think you’re going?
We’re not done.
‐Everywhere I look, there’s garbage.
‐[grunting] Shadow Clone Jutsu!
TEMUJIN (VOICEOVER): I‐‐ we were‐‐
‐[laughing]
‐What on earth have we done?
‐Vol‐‐
‐Too slow!
‐What?
Ah!
‐Why don’t you give up already, boy?
‐Not a chance.
‐[laughing impetuously] Ha!
‐Augh!
[coughing] Come on.
Are you just going to, going to just give up here?
Wasn’t it your dream to make some sort of utopia of this
world?
Yah!
[distant punches]
NARUTO: [inaudible].
‐Heh.
I gotcha.
TEMUJIN (VOICEOVER): His strength,
where does it come from?
‐Huh?
‐Well, that certainly stings a bit.
‐What?
‐Huh?
‐This is‐‐
‐[laughing evilly] Wonderful!
‐It’s the mine of Gelel!
HAIDO: My wounds, they are healing.
[laughing] So much power!
‐Temujin, come on.
Get up.
I can’t handle this guy on my own.
‐You mean you still‐‐
‐Of course.
I don’t ever back down.
Now get on your feet, and help.
‐Hmm?
I’ve heard enough of this pathetic blathering.
Let me deliver you to your utopia.
‐Naruto!
‐Temujin!
‐Everyone.
What have I‐‐ what have I done?
‐Foolish children.
I told them not to interfere.
But I guess they’re at that age.
Well, no matter.
I’ll take care of you myself, then.
‐Temujin!
‐[grunting] I, I’m going to‐‐
‐Let’s go, Temujin!
‐[panting] [roaring]
[music playing]
‐Let’s put an end to this.
Time for you to join your ancestors.
‐Temujin.
‐It’s as you said, Naruto.
There’s no use for a dream that sacrifices your friends.
‐‐[laughing] You’re finished here.
‐Ah!
‐[inaudible] brat!
‐Ah!
I doubt if you could even touch me, boy.
Would you just die already?
‐Go to hell!
This is for Temujin!
‐Hah.
That’s not going to work on me.
What?
Oh no!
‐[groaning and gurgling]
[rumbling]
KAHIKO: Oh no.
That’s‐‐ that’s the mine, the source of life.
‐Hey, uh, gramps, do you think you could fill us in,
or something here?
‐When the key that unlocks the mine was destroyed just now,
the seal was broken.
‐So what does that actually mean?
‐It means the mines of Gelel are spiraling out of control.
‐How are they?
‐They’re still breathing, thankfully.
But they’re not regaining consciousness.
‐I see.
[rumbling]
‐Ah!
‐What’s going on?
‐I don’t know.
But whatever it is, it sure doesn’t sound good.
TEMUJIN: What happens when it goes out of control?
‐I don’t know.
But considering the size of the empire that was lost,
I wouldn’t be surprised if it took out half of the continent.
‐Are you kidding me?
‐Just tell us how to stop it.
‐There’s nothing that we can do.
It’s too late to stop it now.
‐Then what were you doing before?
You know of a way, don’t you?
What was that summoning circle?
‐There’s no bringing it under control again.
Although there is a way in which the mines can be destroyed.
‐So tell me!
KAHIKO: Place your hand at the center.
This is an ancient means of summoning,
bound by the royal blood of our clan.
NARUTO: Yeah, but what are you going to summon?
KAHIKO: A space time rift.
NARUTO: Wh‐what the heck is that?
KAHIKO: A boundless gulf will engulf everything around it.
But it will spawn from the point the Jutsu is executed.
The person who performs the ritual would be sacrificed,
never to return.
‐I understand.
‐Forget about it.
There’s no way I’d let anyo‐‐
‐Naruto!
TEMUJIN: This is how I’ll atone for what I’ve done.
KAHIKO: You?
‐Take care of everyone.
[dramatic music playing]
‐Temujin!
‐How many are left?
‐Not a lot, just two or three of them.
‐All right, then.
Naruto, you better get out of there in one piece.
[music playing]
‐No way.
‐Come, my boy.
‐That’s enough.
‐Whatever you do, just don’t let go.
‐Look, forget about me.
You’re going to die.
‐Will you shut up?
I don’t want to hear it.
Ah!
‐No.
That’s enough.
You’ll get pulled in.
‐Forget about it.
I’m not going to let you die like this, you hear me?
I, I’ve lost too many friends already.
And I don’t plan on losing you!
‐Naruto, where’s Naruto?
He’s still not in there, is he?
Oh!
‐Huh?
Sakura, wait!
Darn it!
‐Naruto!
Where are you?
‐Naruto!
Ah!
‐Uh?
‐Whoa!
‐What is this?
‐What the heck is going on around here?
KAHIKO: It was even more powerful than the legends tell!
‐Is sthat gramps?
It
‐Are you OK?
‐I was tossed like a rag doll, and practically crushed.
I was sure my time had come.
‐So gramps, what happened?
‐The wastelands have given birth to new life.
This happened because a fraction of the stone’s power
was able to escape when it was just destroyed.
That’s why I’m as fit as a fiddle again.
[squeak]
‐Woo!
There’s my Nerugui!
‐What is this?
[gasp]
‐Temujin.
SHIKANOBU: Where‐ where am I?
I’m still alive?
I see these ruins.
Huh?
This is‐‐ It wasn’t a picture of despair after all.
[music playing]
‐Temujin’s part of your clan.
He should have stayed here.
‐He’s heading toward warring lands.
‐Well, what can you do?
That’s the path he’s chosen.
Besides, our destiny split apart a long time ago.
His soul isn’t tied to this land.
His home lies elsewhere.
‐It’s going to be tough.
‐At least he won’t be alone.
He said that this time, for sure, he
wants to create a world free of war
with the help of his friends. [sigh]
‐Something wrong?
‐[moaning] So much for loyalty.
I’ve been dumped.
[music playing]
‐Oh yeah.
Where’s Naruto?
‐Well, I’ve been looking for him.
But he’s nowhere around.
[music playing]
