Wh-Why...
Why does such a good man have to...die?!
It's sad... It's so sad!
I remember now...
I forgot when, but you showed it to me, didn't you?
With a twinkle in your eye,
you proudly said it was a memento of your father.
That was the pipe box, wasn't it? It was an amazing box.
No wonder you're so proud of it...
Even though I took it and smashed it, you only laughed.
You were smiling when we kicked you and tossed you.
It was a great smile.
Really...
Hold it in, Rokusuke! They'll all be gone.
If we let this moment go,
there will be no other chance to get out of the village.
But Kanpachi is!
It's for the village,
we have to do something and make our way to that village!
Yeah...
Funerals are awesome, aren't they!
I wanna do that again.
One...two...three people... got away again...
Looks like we can have another funeral.
This is...
The Village Hidden in the Leaves.
You are...?
Naruto Uzumaki! Right now, I'm in the middle of training.
The Hidden Leaf Village...
H-Hey! I said hey!
Hang in there!
This is training too...!
I can't give up yet! Not yet!
The escort for the ruler of the Land of Swamps, Lord Chichiyasu,
was completed without incident!
Well done.
That's Lady Tsunade's...!
Excellent dumplings are always from the Leaf Village, aren't they?
That was my last one!
Mission Accomplished!
I came to pound the pirates of the Gottani Channel
with the fist of love!
If they take this opportunity to rehabilitate themselves,
it's worth while to shed a tear!
I'll have your team do it for me.
Yes?
Even though we're already busy, that Naruto brought in more work.
After this, Guy has that S-rank mission.
The client picked him, so he must depart today.
So, do it without Guy.
That's pretty straightforward...
I called Neji, Tenten and Lee.
Ohh!
My pupils can undertake the fulfillment of this mission without incident!
Wait...
Take Naruto Uzumaki, too.
Why can't it just be my pupils, who are loved by all the world?
Please answer me, Lady Tsunade!
It just is.
Those three people that Naruto saved came all the way
from the Katabami Gold Mine to request a mission.
The Katabami Gold Mine is one of the Land of Rivers' greatest mines,
but about half a year ago, hooligans calling themselves the Kurosuki family
appeared on the pretext of guarding it, and took control of the village...
killing villagers for no particular reason.
How vile!
Your mission is this:
Once those three have regained their strength,
escort them to the Katabami Gold Mine and eliminate the Kurosuki family.
It's a simple mission.
Well anyway, it must be a group of punks who're after money.
Why did you call me for such an easy mission?
Who do you think you are?
I'm busy searching for Sasuke and training, and-
You forced your way into missions that you weren't called for.
It's not a genin's place to choose his missions!
Would you like to be sent back to the Academy? Well?!
Neji Hyuga!
Yes!
You're the leader!
It will be good training for you to try to tame the unstable.
I don't want to... but, I'll do it!
I'll go continue my training!
Hey Naruto!
Please excuse them. They have no manners...
Wait!
Those little brats...!
What the heck do they think missions are?!
Umm, excuse me?
What?!
The Kurosuki Family...
What did you say their boss' name was?
Raiga!
That's what I thought...
What?
Well, on a previous mission, I heard a rumor about him.
A rumor...?
Pervy Sage hasn't returned... I'm forced to go on a mission...
Oh, this is irritating...
Sakura!
Naruto?
What's going on? A bird?
Yesterday I found it injured and treated it, but...
Sakura, that's amazing!
But poor thing.
It's separated from its friends.
Naruto!
Oh, sorry, did I intrude?
You intruded big time!
No, no!
Don't turn your back, no need to grovel to youth.
Sakura, Hello!
Hello!
What did you come here for?
- Just to have a word. - Huh? What the?!
Oh, Sakura, goodbye!
- Hey! What was that?! - She went wild, didn't she?
She should act her age.
What?! The boss of the Kurosuki family
is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Yeah, it's exclusive information from our respected teacher, Guy.
Who're the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Naruto, you said that
you fought in the Land of the Waves mission, didn't you?
At that time...
Oh, Zabuza! And?
And Guy Sensei and Kakashi Sensei fought Kisame Hoshigaki.
I heard that you met them there too, Naruto.
Oh! I know that guy!
Those two were once called
the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
And at that time, who was with Kisame Hoshigaki?
Oh!
The man called Itachi! And?
You still don't understand?
If Raiga is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist,
then he's probably tied to Itachi who was with Kisame.
Oh! And?
Tell me, who's after Itachi?
I know! Sasuke!
That's right!
We can probably get the clue to Sasuke's whereabouts
at the Katabami Gold Mine!
But...
If that's what Guy Sensei said then...
Don't say anything rude!
It's information that's 100% reliable!
Starting now, while guarding Rokusuke and the others,
we head toward the Katabami Gold Mine
to fulfill our mission to wipe out the Kurosuki family.
There's a shop I'm familiar with close to the gold mine.
Let's make that the base.
What do you mean a shop you're familiar with?
That's the fun part of the trip.
That aside, Naruto is late...
If the source of the information is Guy Sensei,
maybe he couldn't quite trust it?
That's not true! Naruto will definitely come!
That's because Guy Sensei's information is correct!
Whatever.
Here I am!
We're all here so...!
Is that for you to say?!
Let's go!
So...which way?
Don't be so anxious, Rokusuke,
Those guys will save our town.
It's post meal training!
I won't lose!
How long do you intend to rest here?!
If we hurry, we can save Kanpachi from the burial...
Give it up...
How long do you think it's been since that happened?
It's painful but...
I remember...this sleepiness. The shop is close by.
You say you're sleepy, so are you walking in your sleep?!
It's okay.
I slept while on a marathon on this road for three days straight.
You're joking, right?
It's true.
The track meet of my youth with Guy Sensei.
My body still remembers it.
I've gotten sleepy.
Hey, Bushy Brow, are you really okay?
That's right. In this area, there's the scent of spicy curry.
Curry? Now that you mention it...
That's right!
Over there, it's... the Curry of Life Shop!
Grandma Sansho!
Oh my... Oh goodness!
I haven't seen you for a while!
- Oh my my my! - You're looking well!
This is the shop Lee is familiar with?
That mountain is the Katabami Gold Mine
Grandma Sansho's curry saved my life.
So you're saying it's delicious curry?
No, it really saved my life. I'm indebted to this curry.
It was when I'd just become a genin...
When Guy Sensei gave me a special training routine.
Oh my, that's right. I remember.
Do your best!
Oh my...
Hey Grandma Sansho!
Oh my, they've come again!
Those people are running in their sleep.
Karashi! Karashi!
If you had that kind of energy, you wouldn't lose to the bullies.
Oh my, I might have said too much.
Oh my! It's the third day.
They've been running the whole time.
Oh my. What a problem.
I wonder if he's hungry...?
What a pickle! He's not waking up!
Maybe I didn't use enough spice?
Karashi...
I've never seen a person who works this hard.
Oh really...so you want to help this young man too?
This is the curry of life.
Now! Grandma Sansho went to the trouble of making this curry.
Let's eat!
I'm digging in!
Yum! This is yummy yum delicious!
Delicious! The use of spices is wonderful!
And this rice goes perfectly with the curry!
Delicious!
By the way, I don't see Karashi.
Karashi saw how hard you worked
and became a bright kid full of energy, but...
He got too much energy and left for town.
What?
I was wrong to keep telling him to be stronger.
"I'm going to be a man!
I'm going to be part of the Kurosuki family", he said.
Oh my! I'm not blaming you. Don't worry.
It's too late.
I'm responsible...
Oh my.
Neji!
Please include Karashi's rescue into our mission!
We'll bring him back from the road of evil!
It's fine.
We'll use this shop as a base and take a good look into the village.
Then we'll come up with a strategy and spring into action.
Yes!
You guys await orders here.
Because it's dangerous if the Kurosuki family finds us.
It's a disaster!
Rokusuke! Rokusuke! He's gone!
I'm sure he went to town alone!
That's not good!
If those guys find Rokusuke...!
Now that it's come to this,
we don't have time to come up with a strategy!
Let's get right to it!
No!
We'll get right to it!
Let's hurry.
Wait for me, Kanpachi, I'm coming now...
Someone...is coming...
Aw, again... I have to put on a funeral!
Please don't die... I'll get you out now.
Hey!
What are you doing there?
One, two... One, two...
Hope they're all right.
I'm sure they'll be able to bring Karashi back.
Definitely, Definitely.
One, two...
That's the Katabami Gold Mine...
Instead of just getting Rokusuke and Karashi back,
let's finish the Kurosuki Family once and for all!
Don't get carried away, Naruto.
So, what are we gonna do then?
I'm kind of worried about what Guy Sensei told us.
The boss of the Kurosuki Family may be
one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Who knows what they'll do to Rokusuke?
Yeah, but how seriously can we take Guy Sensei's info?
What are you talking about?! Guy Sensei is always right!
Calm down, Lee. We should investigate first.
Yeah!
Sir Raiga, we were able to capture Rokusuke,
one of the three that slipped out of the village.
Well done.
It seems that they went to ask for some help from a ninja village.
Where did you go?!
I'm sorry.
Don't bother, rookie.
Yes sir!
Rokusuke, I thought we had a good relationship
with everybody in the Gold Mine.
Well, that's...
Why is it? I'm so deeply sorry to hear that you left the village.
I can't remember how things were in the past,
when everything was going well.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I won't do it again!
Yeah, I have a good idea.
I'm going to arrange for your funeral.
Please don't! Please let me go!
I won't do it again, so please forgive me!
Why? Don't you like funerals?
No, I don't wanna die yet!
You know, I really like funerals...
Think about it.
When they are alive, humans speak ill of each other,
they betray each other, and they hate each other.
But at a funeral,
they forget all the hatred they had for the other.
They even remember the good times they had together.
Right?
You have to be kidding me! No! Please don't do it.
Hey!
Let me go!
It's a done deal then. Let's have a big funeral for Rokusuke.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Come on!
Hurry up!
Is that gold? There's nothing shiny about it.
They have to melt that ore into mercury.
After that they evaporate it and only then does it turn into pure gold.
I don't get it.
Well, there is no need for you to understand it.
Oh!
Huh? What are you doing Hurry up!
If you don't hurry up,
I'm gonna ask the boss to let me hold your funeral!
Please forgive me!
I'm getting really mad now. I won't forgive them!
Calm down, Naruto...
We don't know anything about them yet.
That's right. We should do what Neji is telling us.
Yeah but...
if we don't do something, that poor old guy is going to die!
Naruto, leave things to me here.
Wait, Lee!
Hey, hey. Hurry up and pick them up!
Yeah! Way to go, Lee!
Are you okay, old man?
Oh my gosh! What have you done?!
Here. Drink some water.
What are you doing?!
I beg you. Please punch me, kick me.
Please knock me around
like the way you just did with those guys.
What are you saying?
If you won't do it, I'll do it myself!
What are you doing?!
Stop!
I'm scared.
Just think what they'll do
if they knew I was the only one that was safe.
What was that sound?
Did they find us?
Oh my, that's the sound of the funeral bell.
Funeral?
Yeah.
Raiga, the boss of the Kurosuki family which rules this town,
arranges a funeral for those who betray him.
He buries them alive.
What? They bury them alive? That's so cruel!
Yeah but...
Raiga always cries sadly during the funeral.
That's one weird guy.
But...
That doesn't seem to be the sound of the bell for you.
Yeah, I heard that Rokusuke was caught this morning, so...
What?!
I'm so happy, I remember the first day I met that guy.
Yeah? That's nice.
Yeah...When I told him we were taking over the mountain from the magistrate,
he was so relieved to be freed from the high taxes that he was paying.
He was laughing out of pure joy... He was a really nice guy.
I like funerals. Makes me feel nostalgic.
Would you put on a big funeral for me too?
Fool! I'm not putting on a funeral for you.
You are not going to die before me.
I don't have to have a funeral for you to think of the good times
because you are always a good boy.
Raiga.
What is it?
They're coming. They'll show up anytime now.
Yeah...I'm excited to see what kind of help he sought.
Okay! Let's save the guy.
Let's do it, Neji.
Okay.
Byakugan!
It's all right. He's still alive.
If we can get rid of the guys around him,
we can save him.
Okay! Let's get rid of them quickly!
Yeah!
Okay, let's go!
No! Let me out!
An enemy attack!
You...!
Tenten, you take the right!
Okay!
Gentle Fist!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Na-ru-to...
Uzumaki Barrage!
That's the way!
- Watch out! - Huh?
There are three more!
Here comes the Leaf Village's handsome devil, Rock Lee!
I found the last one!
You are...
Who is this guy?
Well...
This is Karashi.
The one Grandma Sansho was talking about...
This is Karashi?
Karashi, was it your own decision to join the Kurosuki Family...
just like Grandma Sansho said it was?
So what if it was?
What?!
Sir Raiga is great!
He dethroned the old evil government of the Katabami Gold Mine,
and he liberated everybody from the village!
Karashi, did you know that
Grandma Sansho worries about you everyday while cooking curry?
Naruto, leave things to me here.
Karashi, you saved my life with your curry of life.
If you can make such a wonderful curry,
how can you stay with the family of a man with no respect for life?!
Why?
Nobody cares to compliment me even if I can make that curry.
As a man born in this world,
I should gain more power and try to take over the world!
Instead of sitting around in that store that no one patronizes anymore.
What? I can't take this anymore!
Lee!
Karashi, not only did you and Grandma Sansho's curry save my life...
But you also taught me that if you make it from the heart,
just one serving of curry could save lives,
and that even somebody like me could do anything just by trying hard.
You looked much stronger and dignified then than you do now.
Please promise me... Please get out of the Kurosuki Family!
You're right...
I'm sorry...I'm so sorry!
Oh, I'm so relieved.
Hey! Please get me out of here.
It's dark and I can't breathe.
Oh yeah!
We almost forgot about Rokusuke.
Mmm? You guys...
Sorry to keep you waiting. It's all right now.
I'm sorry. Thinking that maybe
I could still save my friend who got buried alive...
I just couldn't stay still.
Yeah, I understand.
Neji, what is it?
What is this?
This feeling of danger...
Hey Neji, what is it?
We are being watched. It's probably Raiga.
What?
From the top of that cliff...
Okay. Let's go!
Karashi, please take care of Rokusuke.
All right.
No one's here.
Where did he go?
Mmm? What is that?
This mist...
Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu!
Neji, try to find the enemy with your Byakugan.
I've been trying...!
I...can't see a thing!
That's impossible. Even Neji's Byakugan
that's supposed to let him see 360 degrees won't work!
What's going on?
There isn't supposed to be a jutsu that can break the Byakugan!
What do you think, Ranmaru?
It's amazing...
One of them can see through the chakra network.
He probably has some sort of kekkei genkai power.
He can see us?
It's all right, my power is superior to his...
So, what are you going to do?
Everybody in the Katabami Gold Mine is depending on me.
I'm the one who has to keep the peace of this village.
Are you going to hold a funeral?
No, even if I hold a funeral, I have no memories of them.
I'll just get rid of them!
Watch, Ninja Art: Lightning Fang!
Wh-What is it?!
Lighting! Drop!
They blew up... They blew up and died!
As I expected, I'm not sad.
You really can't hold funerals feeling like this, huh...
Four of them are still alive.
Can't be! After being hit by my Lightning Fang...
No...
If you say so, it has to be true.
One...is troublesome...
The enemy was nearby... But I couldn't see anything.
It's strange...
Even if it's the Hidden Mist Jutsu,
my Byakugan should be able to see through it.
Byakugan!
For sure this time...
I can see it!
Two of them at 52 degrees, Southwest!
Three of them at 12 degrees, Southeast!
One of them at 8 degrees, Southeast!
Another one at 24 degrees, Northwest!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Let's go!
Leaf Hurricane!
No way!
Why?!
Uzumaki Barrage!
I missed!
H-Help me!
Bushy Brow?
Th-The enemy disappeared!
It can't be... False images with chakra networks?
One at the middle of the cliff, one at the bottom of the cliff,
one on the right, one on the left.
We can't hold funerals,
but I'll take care of them without leaving any trace.
Thunder Funeral: Feast of Lightning!
The corpses are warm.
We're strong...you and I.
No, it's you.
Ranmaru, you're strong. With you I'm also strong.
Wait...They aren't dead yet. They're just unconscious.
They're stubborn.
Okay, if grilling doesn't work, then let's chop them.
Flesh and even bone... I'll crush them nicely.
Ranmaru...! Are you all right?!
Hang in there, Ranmaru!
Ranmaru...!
I'm okay.
Raiga...
This person...is still unconscious.
What did you say?
It's amazing...
He's fighting with only muscle memory.
It's a nice face. It burns into my heart.
Let's hold a funeral for him...
I am sure it will be one that will make me cry!
From the right!
What's with this guy...?
He's hard to read his moves...
But for your sake, Raiga, I'll do my best.
Together, okay!
Left!
Right!
From the front! Jump! Now!
You...you...you!
What?
How did this guy... get to this point?
B-Bushy Brows...
Lee... Could he have lost consciousness...?
Tenten! Neji!
Raiga! Turn around!
What? That voice just now...?
Wha-?!
Raiga!
Ranmaru!
This is...
Neji...
Ranmaru!
Move!
Huh? Somehow...it felt like I was fighting in my dreams...
Ranmaru...
You!
Heh! Naruto Uzumaki arrives!
Naruto...
Just die already...
Hey! I have something I want to ask you!
You...I heard you're one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
So what if I was?!
You know Zabuza, right?!
You also know... someone called Kisame, right?!
I...hate them! Who wants to remember them?!
I hate you too!
Then!
I'll make you tell me by force!
A clone?!
You...You're weaker than a moment ago.
Wh-What...?
Lightning Ball!
Damn...
Huh, you are tough...
Lightning Ball!
Naruto!
It's not...working at all.
I'm not going to remember your smile!
Die!
Ranmaru...where are you?
What's in this bag...?
Byakugan!
There's...someone...
Could it be?
This powder was... hiding the chakra networks?
It's even creating the chakra network!
Naruto! Do the Shadow Clone Jutsu!
But he saw all the shadow clones...
Don't worry. His eyes are right here!
Ranmaru! I'm gonna come save you after I defeat this guy!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Bring it on!
Lightning Ball!
What? Was the one before a lucky hit?
Stop messing around. All I have to do is defeat you all, right?
Let's go!
We're not done yet!
You...
At this rate...my chakra will...
The mist... The Hidden Mist Jutsu is fading away...
Damn! I'll finish them off at once!
Damn!
I'm not going to let you get away!
Wait!
Ninja Art: Boulder Avalanche
Naruto!
Naruto...
Did you see that?!
Yeah, I saw it!
Prepare yourself!
Stop it!
I can't stop!
I...did it.
This is...Raiga's eye...?
Such a big eye ball!
Huh?
Idiot... It's a human being!
Huh?!
In my dream...
I guess you were the one I was fighting against.
It wasn't me... It was Raiga and me together...
Together...?
Always...since back then...
Don't act like you're asleep. You are going to die...
Don't move!
There is a spy in this village who snuck into the Hidden Mist Village...
We came to kill those guys, but...
I got confused about who I had to kill. That's why I am doing it randomly...
Wh-What are you saying?
It's fine... If I am going to be killed by you.
Huh...? Why is it fine for me to kill you...?
You were...always crying...
Huh? Me...cry?
In your heart... seeking the meaning of living.
I was always watching...you.
What...are you?
I am the same as you... living is painful.
I don't understand the meaning of living.
Because of my sickness, I couldn't go outside...
Shunned by everyone,
all I could do was to take a peek of the world from this blanket...
But...if with my death,
if you are able to feel the meaning of life even a little...
My life was not needed from the beginning.
Please...
Are you...alone?
Come with me.
From now on, you and I are two as one.
From that day on, I became Raiga's eyes and ears.
Raiga became my hands and feet.
The outside world that I dashed into for the very first time...
it was filled with things I had never seen or heard before.
It was fun.
Whenever and wherever, I was with Raiga.
No matter when it was,
there wasn't a time that we were separated.
We were trying to find the meaning of life by living for each other.
We were convinced that was the meaning to living.
That's why...
If Raiga is not around,
I no longer have the power to live by myself.
I've lost the purpose to live...
Do you have someone precious to you?
I want to protect someone important to me...
I want to make his dream come true, and that's my dream.
I no longer need to live.
Don't say such stupid things.
What are you doing?
Now, quickly.
Why are you hesitating...?
With my arms and legs torn apart, I have no means to resist, you know.
You should carry out your mission...
Hurry and deliver your finishing blow.
Our mission is to force out the Kurosuki Family from this village...
Without Raiga, he cannot be of any threat to this village.
The problem right now is that
the Kurosuki Family members have lost their leadership.
Once the hoop comes off, we don't know what they will do.
For this mission... this is the finishing touch.
Yeah, but what are we going to do with him?
Is he a villain worth tying up?
No, he is not.
He might kill himself, right?
Once the mission is over, we will come save you right away...
A chakra sealing tag?
We can't help it. He is an enemy, after all...
We should assume he has other jutsu. Just in case!
Hey...
Here they come!
Naruto! Don't come...
If you value your life, be quiet.
Karashi...
I heard that you were deeply sorry for your actions...!
How could I shamelessly run back to the curry house?!
Now!
Did you see that?!
Although Master Raiga is not around, the Kurosuki Family is eternal!
Hey...what are you looking for?
Isn't it obvious? The brats!
Are you referring to us?
What?!
What you crushed were our forms
made by the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Transformation Jutsu.
Take formation!
Ninja Art: Black Tornado!
Wha?
Those were also made by
the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Transformation Jutsu!
We saw through everything!
Here I go.
Leaf Hurricane!
Disperse!
Byakugan!
2 Palms! 4 Palms!
8 Palms!
16 Palms!
32 Palms!
8 Trigrams 64 Palms!
Here I come! Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Clone Spinning Axe Kick!
Huh?! Oww...
It's already over...
What?! Not fair!
Man! You could've saved some for me!
Just when I thought I'd try the new jutsu!
Gosh, you never learn, do you!
Karashi, are you prepared?
I was just kidding!
How dare you torment us!
You really think we'll let this slide as a joke?
I couldn't help it! If I didn't listen,
I would have gotten killed by the Kurosuki family.
In place of the Kurosuki family,
I'll crack your head with this hammer!
Yeah! Yeah!
I'm sorry...
Please move, Lee!
Please hit me until you guys are satisfied.
Why you?
It's partly my responsibility
that the once kind-hearted Karashi went and joined a gang.
Yours?
Because of me,
he got the impression that power is everything.
Right, that's right!
Though I knew that it's a bad thing, I just had to...
You be quiet!
Karashi is still inexperienced.
But he has skills to make curry that can save people's lives.
Please give Karashi the opportunity to make amends by making curry.
If Karashi goes astray again, then I will...!
Punish him with my fists!
Everyone, what do you think
about letting Lee and Grandma Sansho take care of this situation...
After all, he was just an underling of the Kurosuki family.
It's not like he directly attacked us or anything...
Let's have Lee educate him harshly...
In that case...
Thank you very much!
Th-Thank you...
And with this, our mission is complete.
No, not yet...
Huh?
Are you all right?
What's the point of being all right?
I can't live alone.
Don't say that!
Why don't we just leave this weakling!
Everyone has to live alone!
But don't you need friends who can help you and stuff...?
I'm talking about some basics! I hate people who are indecisive!
I was frail from the time I was born.
That shabby cabin was the entire world for me.
I have no memory of my parents...
I survived only by the small amount of food
that the villagers sometimes brought me...
But even someone like me had a power that no one else did.
Here you go.
Thank you...
Is your leg okay? The one you cut with the scythe?
D-Did I tell you that story?!
No...I kind of found out...
How? No one else besides me came today or yesterday, right?
No, I just saw it from here...
Scary!
As time went by everyone began to fear me since I had the power
to know what was happening outside even from my room.
Did you know?!
I heard that Ranmaru has the ability to see everything...
Were we being spied on every day?
Get out of the village!
You monster!
And so I had no more visitors...
All I could do was to wait to die.
That's when Raiga saved me...
I see. What a bitter past.
Yes, it is.
Hmm...
Raiga took me out to the unknown world.
Ranmaru, try opening your eyes...
This is the outside world where we'll be living from now on...okay?
Okay...
If Raiga isn't here, it's the same as losing my body.
Perhaps Raiga became known
as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist
because he was able to borrow your power.
It seems like you two helped each other to live...
Yes.
That's not true!
You were being used for Raiga's evil deeds!
I might have been...used...
But good or bad doesn't matter to me. I'm just a sense organ...
Then that won't mean that you're really living!
Huh?
See, you have to do your best to live from now on!
Firstly, eat the curry of life and cheer up!
That's right! You will get nourishment.
That will hurt the body instead, wouldn't it?
Naruto, you can't eat it either, right?
Actually, the more I eat it,
the more energized my body feels...
That curry saved my life, you know!
Until the day you're able to walk alone,
I will become your body!
Okay?
I have one favor to ask...
Huh?
Byakugan!
As I expected... I can no longer see life in Raiga.
Can you see, Ranmaru?
Yes.
Is this okay?
Yes...
Let's go...The mission is complete.
Hey!
What?
That's!
One, two, one, two.
Grandma Sansho!
What's all this ruckus?! Dust will go into the curry.
L-Lee and the others came back!
K-Karashi is with them!
Is it worth the ruckus?
Grandma, aren't you happy?
One, two...One, two...
Your snot will go in!
Grandma Sansho! I'm back!
Karashi is here too!
M-Mom, sorry! Please forgive me!
Please forgive him...
He says he'll devote himself from now on,
and train to take over the Curry of Life Shop, so please...
First you gotta eat...
Huh...
Wow, it looks good!
If you're not going to eat, I will!
I've prepared some for each of you...
Oh my, that's a very pale child.
Yeah, can you prepare some for him too?
Especially mild...
I prefer mild too...
Oh my...
Mom...thanks for the food!
It's a punishment times 300 curry...
It's spicy, it's spicy...
But it's good! It's good, Mom!
Here, I have some for everybody!
