I want to try and gather the unrestrained winds
I'll run toward the horizon, alongside the wave crests
I've made my decision,
even if there's a long way to go on that road.
I'll continue towards the future I've planned
Time rushes us The heartbeat speeds up
When I woke in the middle of a dream I kept searching for that same light
Under the shining star lit sky with countless constellations and shadows
There was something beyond that... What were you gazing at?
Where's Naruto?
It's no good. I can't find him.
I see...
He's not close by anymore.
Either he drifted away...
or he has escaped.
At any rate, with this fog...
There's no reason to remain here any longer.
Let's make it to a shore nearby and start again.
Understood.
The Closed Door
It's been a while, Lord Orochimaru.
It truly has.
To think I'd stop by on a whim to find you still here.
And it's for that reason that I am able to meet with you again.
So does the fact that you're here mean
you're still continuing that research?
Yes.
And I think someday it will be of help to you, Lord Orochimaru...
I wonder if that's true.
And all this is due to my loyalty.
Do whatever you like...
Thank you.
By the way...
is he the one you were talking of earlier?
Yes, he's Itachi Uchiha's younger brother.
Oh really...
Yes, my...
Please don't...
say anything unnecessary!
It appears that Naruto is no longer close by.
Hey...
Naruto, surely he's safe, isn't he?
He can't be beaten that easily.
After all, he too is a Leaf Shinobi...
Shiragiku Inn I'm responsible for guarding the ships collecting funds.
I'm Hitode.
I know the circumstances,
your colleague has disappeared and I'm sure that you're worried...
Have you received any information since then?
I'm sorry, but there's been no information
regarding a victim rescued from a shipwreck.
I see.
However, I'm troubled.
This is difficult to say,
but the departure of the collection ships has been pushed forward...
Pushed forward?
Now we're scheduled to leave tomorrow morning.
We apologize for our late notice.
As expected, a large number of people find
the relationship with Land of Water very important
and we had to push the departure forward.
I understand.
But we'd like to take time here
to seek and investigate our colleague...
Of course.
We'll meet you directly at the port tomorrow
for the guard duty.
Thank you for cooperating.
Just one thing.
Yes...
As you can see, we are not a very wealthy country.
Fishermen and we are both concerned
about the disturbance of this Demon of the O cean.
We greatly appreciate for your help with our country.
I understand.
That's right, I...
You've come to?
Y Yeah...
Hey, you're the girl from yesterday...!
I get it now!
You saved me, thank you!
It just happened...
No, seriously you saved me.
Oh, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. What's your name?
Isaribi.
So Isaribi, you're the girl who saved my life.
Why did you come to this remote area?
A mission, of course!
To exterminate the Demon of the Ocean that has been troubling this country!
It would be best to quit.
You won't get away easily if you get involved with the Demon of the Ocean.
You don't need to worry. Anyway, this is a mission.
We were careless yesterday,
but next time we'll catch that Demon of the Ocean!
That's hot!
So... you feel fine now?
Yep! Thanks to you, it's excellent, believe it!
Then, once you've eaten that, get out.
Huh?
What? What?
Wait, Isaribi!
Hey!
Isaribi... Wait...
Huh, wha...?
Monster! Go away!
What's this?
It's the work of some brats from the village.
If I let it bother me, there's no end to it.
Oh, Isaribi...
Really, thank you so much.
She's out, the monster!
What the...?
Get out of here!
You're bad luck
Take this!
I Isaribi...
Stop it, brats!
- Disappear! - Get out of here!
Say something!
Hey, stop! All of you!
You're taking your pranks a little too far!
Who are you?! A friend of this monster?!
Monster?
Everyone's saying it.
Isaribi was spirited away
and became friends with the Demon of the Ocean!
Don't say such irresponsible things!
It's true!
Ouch!
- Run! - Stupid guy!
- Hey! Who you calling stupid?! - Stop!
What?! But...
It's okay...
Leave me alone.
I can't leave you alone!
If they keep doing that...
I'm saying that it's none of your business!
I'm the girl who was spirited away.
So it's natural that people find me creepy.
But that's not your fault!
That doesn't matter.
Humans don't let those who are different from them
into their group.
So...
Your colleague was lost at sea...
We thought that if a boat left port between the evening and morning
maybe they saw something...
Sorry, but I don't think I can help.
Because of the Demon of the Ocean,
people of this village stay away from the port at those times.
I see.
He's been spirited away.
That Demon of the Ocean took someone away again.
Mother, don't say such reckless things.
Spirited away...
I heard that at the port, too.
Can you give me details about this spiriting away?
What good will talking about it do?
But...
Please forgive me.
This isn't something to be talked about with outsiders.
Can we do something about that, please?
We came here to exterminate the Demon of the Ocean.
Exterminate the Demon of the Ocean?
I see...
For a long time,
there's been a legend among fishermen on Demon Island.
A legend?
Yes, the legend says don't come near Demon Island,
"the island where demons live.
Demon Island has always been a fishing area rich in fish,
but there were many hidden reefs and it was a dangerous marine area...
So everybody obeyed the legend.
But one unusually cool summer about ten years ago,
the fish disappeared from the sea...
We couldn't help it,
so my husband and I set our feet into the dangerous marine area.
It was a large catch.
But when I happily came to the surface of the ocean,
I saw an empty boat with my husband nowhere to be seen.
Ever since then, one after the next,
anyone who approaches that island disappeared.
Also, people who went to search didn't return.
Since then people from the village stay away from the island
where spiriting away occurs.
An island nobody goes near...
That's a peculiar story.
Speaking of which, I heard that
there's a girl who returned from being spirited away.
Oh, yes... Isaribi.
Ma'am, I've got another favor.
Please tell me where she lives!
Lady Tsunade...
Lady Tsunade!
Yes?
Geez. Here's the data you requested.
That's the Land of Sea's...
You're worried, after all.
Hm... Well, yes...
The Land of Sea is where Anko, abandoned by Orochimaru, was found...
Hey! Are you okay!
It's no good... I can't remember.
Even though I should know...
It's dark and cold...
I was in pain... But...
Calm down... Try taking a little more time.
I'm sure I even got this strange mark while there...
The suggestion is deep.
Her entire memory is most likely all...
That's enough... You've had some tough times.
It's okay.
Right now, we'll treat this Curse Mark that's eating away at you...
We have to do that first.
Lord Hokage...
I...
In the end, her memory didn't return...
A part of Anko's memory remains lost even now.
So that's what happened...
So, this is the first time Anko's been to the Land of Sea since that incident?
Yes... That's right.
It would be nice if it could be a catalyst
for bringing back her memories...
What?!
Missed each other?!
They came here?!
Yeah, you should follow them right away!
And, which way did they go?
That way!
That's the direction I came!
Damn! Everybody wait up!
The collection ship is moving.
I see, the only girl who returned from being spirited away.
I thought we should at least go see...
She may have some information about Demon Island!
Stop!
Oh! That girl!
Sensei!
I wonder where she intends to go?
She's cautious.
Let's follow without being noticed.
Hey, everybody! Oh, c'mon.
If I keep going like this,
I'll go all the way to Isaribi's house again.
That appearance...
It can't be, you're the Demon of the Ocean...?
What?!
I won't let you escape!
Master Orochimaru... This is...?
I'm going to teach you something special.
This is one of the rooms where I develop Jutsu...
I'd like you to help, too.
But... if the village knew about this...
It's not going as smoothly as I hoped.
It only needs one more step...
Silly, there's nothing to be afraid of.
The really frightening thing is to neglect pursuing the truth.
That girl, could she be...?
Give it up! You can't escape!
You were the Demon of the Ocean!
Hey, everyone!
Hey!
I finally found you!
Naruto, you're safe...
But Naruto, you're too late.
Too late?
We caught the Demon of the Ocean! Look, this is it.
Oh! Oh?
Huh, so this is the Demon of the Ocean?!
Isaribi...
Huh?!
Isaribi... You're Isaribi, aren't you?!
Naruto! What are you talking about?!
Just wait! Isaribi! Isaribi, answer me!
Damn it!
Wait up, you!
Wait, don't be rough.
Explanation must wait.
We're in trouble if we let her escape here.
Who are you?! Give Isaribi back!
Like that will happen!
She's an important guinea pig.
If she's lost, I'm responsible for it.
Bastard!
Don't chase too far... It'll be yesterday all over again.
But!
Crap!
No question about it...
That girl...
Sensei!
What in the world is going on?!
The wind blows, Ah...
The pain, The memories won't disappear
What should be brought along?
Assemble them into a piece.
There is no second chance, never
How foolish it is to throw away
Acting so innocently, Ah...
The images.
It probably will not end
Burn that love filled heart,
Sail across a thousand dreams
Running freely
To take hold of the world in hand
The clouds scatter
The sun sets yet again
The solo parade begins to move.
