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?
Infiltration. The Set Up!
How is she?
I don't know why she suddenly collapsed...
I see.
The collection ships depart in the morning.
We should get back to the inn.
But then, what will happen to Isaribi?
Who cares? She's the Demon of the Ocean!
But...
Naruto, what in the world happened with you and that girl?
Aw c'mon! I told you a little while ago, she saved me!
What happened?
Sorry, my hand slipped.
I see.
I'll clean this up right away.
Anko.
Yes?
The studies here, the Hokage knows about them.
I understand.
So, you're saying that this girl named Isaribi saved you?
Yeah, I owe my life to her.
Even if that's so, there's no doubt that this girl named Isaribi
was one of the people who attacked us.
Our mission is to protect the government's money
and catch the Demon of the Ocean.
That's right, and no matter how you look at it,
there's no doubt that she's the Demon of the Ocean!
Yeah, but I think there's some reason for all that.
I'm going to follow her and!
You're talking nonsense.
Besides, even if we were to follow her, we've got no idea where she is.
No, I have one.
Really, Shino?
It's something I heard.
It seems there's one island in this country
that played a central role in a series of spiriting away incidents.
Where is it?!
A deserted island where the Demon of the Ocean lives,
Demon Island.
Demon Island?
Sensei, are you doing okay?
Yes, more importantly,
there's something I want to tell you about the Demon of the O cean.
The true identity of this thing called the Demon of the Ocean
is a human whose flesh has been altered.
What?!
What did you say?
Don't muck things up like that again.
Yes sir.
She's out, the monster!
What the... ?
- Get out of here. - You're bad luck.
Take this!
She's the one who was spirited away.
And why would she be the only one who came back?
What are you talking about?
A spiriting away that occurred ten years ago in the Land of Sea,
but that was not the working of a demon.
Orochimaru kidnapped humans to use as live subjects
for his research at the time.
Orochimaru...
Is Orochimaru mixed up in this current matter?
Wait a minute. Orochimaru and tests!
Why are you suddenly saying such things?
I have to explain it to you from when Orochimaru left the village.
Over ten years ago,
Orochimaru's desire to satisfy his own inquiring mind and further his power
was such that he gradually exceeded the scope of a Shinobi
and in the end, got involved in developing what are called Forbidden Jutsu.
How unfortunate.
Naturally, this soon became known to the village.
After Orochimaru!
Stop that guy!
But Orochimaru, who traveled in and out of country on missions...
had several other private facilities outside of the Leaf Village...
So one of those is on Demon Island?
So, the people who disappeared?
They were used for human experiments.
What?
Damn Orochimaru! What does he think people are?
So, what are we going to do?
It's obvious, isn't it? We get into their hideout!
And we have to get Isaribi back!
It's settled.
We'll continue and hit the Demon of the Ocean's hideout.
Sensei, how long have you known about Demon Island?
It's because Orochimaru was the Jonin in charge of me.
Huh?
Tell me when we gethclose to the island.
The pain is gradually getting stronger.
Somebody's coming.
What shall we do?
Do as you please.
Yes.
The arrogance... One day I'll pay him back!
This way.
Hurry!
How is it, Shino?
No problem.
Okay!
So, a collection ship is on the move, huh?
Just the right time.
Good work, I was right to send you back to Mother Island.
What's wrong? You're pale.
When will I return to normal?
Like you said, I've gathered information about the ships
from the market and the village, even the attacks.
So...
What are you bringing up, Isaribi?
You can't possibly have forgotten your role as a prototype.
As a converted body, your cooperation in generating data...
That was one of the conditions of the promise.
Don't worry, we'll soon be done getting data from you.
I'll keep the promise... as long as I don't change my mind.
You understand, right?
Yes.
Well, if you understand, go keep our guests company.
I understand...
You're vicious, too.
There's no sign of'em.
What is this?
Birds, no fish?
Don't move!
Too bad, isn't it?
Don't mess with Shinobi from the Leaf Village.
You, little...!
Well, well, aren't these cute kitties?
Is everyone okay?
Yep.
As always, you people are addicted to peace.
You're from last evening!
Your face looks familiar.
The Chunin Exams, if I remember correctly.
That's right...
As I recall, Sasuke's adversary!
The guy who was with that Kabuto?!
You are correct...
Of course, I haven't seen him since then.
You used a strange Jutsu to suck up other's Chakras.
You're the guy who sucked up all of Sasuke's strength.
Well, all of you, come at me. I'm different than I was then.
Okay, I'll finish you off right now!
Wait, Naruto!
Shino?
You go ahead. Seems like I'm the opponent for him.
Huh?
His Jutsu is not suited for your style of close combat.
We can't have all three of us stay here.
All right.
- We're counting on you, Shino! - Be careful!
Wait!
Parasitic Insects, eh?
Found'im!
Who?
Welcome, or should I say, haven't seen you in a while?
It's you, Amachi.
I'm surprised!
I can't believe you've come back after something like that happened...
Like what?
You don't remember?
Sorry, but I have no business with you...
Where is Orochimaru?
Orochimaru?
Don't play dumb. He's here, isn't he?
A Curse Mark responds even though the operator isn't around...
Stuff like that happens huh?
True, Orochimaru was here...
But that was over half a month ago.
No way.
It doesn't matter if you don't believe me.
So the pain I felt so far...
has been the influence of Orochimaru's presence here half a month ago?
Wait a minute.
Sensei!
You two!
Oh my, you brought Genin.
Anko, you're all grown up...
Who is that?
Amachi... a Medical Ninja who partnered with Orochimaru,
and was running various experiments here.
Orochimaru's not here. This whole incident was all his doing.
Him?!
Hey you! How dare you run those ridiculous tests!
Ridiculous? This is no joke, I've devoted my life to this research.
What was that?!
Look! This one has the physical ability to adapt to water.
She combines the ability to breathe underwater
and the muscle strength to move freely and quickly.
It's been a dream of mine for many years,
to form a Ninja corps for underwater combat.
This is the first step.
A Ninja corps for underwater combat?
That's right, a military corps able to move freely underwater
that the common person definitely could not imitate.
When that happens, we can divide land and land
and completely control marine shipping routes!
Wonderful, is it not?
With this strength, I'll stand on top of the world.
And I'll make Orochimaru regret abandoning this research.
People are not your tools!
Oh my, you're so young,
you don't understand the greatness of this research...
Well, you're average guinea pigs who don't know any better,
so I don't think I want you to understand.
Bastard!
That's good, Isaribi.
Out of the way, Isaribi!
No!
What's wrong? You can't fight by just running around in circles.
Damn it!
Why are you protecting that guy?
That guy did this to you, Isaribi!
Yeah, but...!
But it can't be helped.
This is the only person who can return my body back to normal.
He promised.
Look.
Isaribi...
People are judged based solely on their appearance.
People don't dare come near me just from being covered in bandages...
A monster with these scales would be out of the question.
I want to return to my former body, I want to be a human!
For that reason, I decided I'd do anything!
You're a human being even now, Isaribi!
Huh?!
And yet you join with those guys to attack and sink ships.
Isn't that far more like something a monster would do?!
Stop it, shut up!
I I...
I don't want to hear it! Shut up, shut up!
Stop it! Are you bullying me, too?
No... l-I'm the same as you!
You're lying!
What are you talking about? You're a normal human.
I want to be like you too!
Don't cry Isaribi... I'll properly return you to normal.
Watch out!
A bulls eye letter bomb.
Thanks to Isaribi doing a good job of attracting your attention.
S Sensei...
I'll leave the rest to you.
Okay.
Let's go, Isaribi.
Wait!
Don't go, Isaribi!
Damn it!
We'd better take care of this right away.
Give it up... It's over.
We'll make you a guinea pig for Amachi, too.
Insect clone?!
We're the same Chakra eating colleagues, after all.
It won't be easy to finish a fight.
He disappeared?
What is he thinking?
There you go!
Naruto!
I'm going to strangle you to death like this.
What?!
Mind Destruction Jutsu, a success.
All right, you did it, Ino!
Damn it! Let me go, let me go!
That's dirty of you!
What are you talking about?
There are no such things as being too dirty or crappy for Shinobi.
And you call yourself a Ninja?
Shut up!
What?
This place is collapsing.
They're planning to take care of us along with the building.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!
Hurry, the entrance is already useless.
I thought this place would be traced soon.
It's an old building,
but a damn good tomb for the likes of them.
One person didn't make it in time?
Oh well, doesn't have much of an influence on attacking a collection ship.
Damn! Where's the exit?!
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.
