Rock away your existence,
Shouting that you are here...
A new journey begins now.
As we survived through the changing seasons,
we gained knowledge and strength, (just looks like a survival game)
But the forgotten memories,
of the feelings abandoned within the flows of time,
have also been lost.
When sinking down, we learned loneliness.
But now we've met each other, we are no longer alone.
Unveil your feelings, Those high emotions
Those tears will change your fate.
Pound your heartbeat against the darkness,
We're sure to meet, Under the same flag of pain
What do you mean by monitoring Akamaru?
You know about the incident
where someone from outside infiltrated the village, right?
Yeah, I know about that.
But I heard that Kiba and the others resolved that incident without any trouble.
That's right.
Damn! That Kiba!
I want a mission where I totally kick an enemy's butt.
To be exact, that's wrong.
What?
Before Kiba and the others had the intruder in custody...
he swallowed a pellet and killed himself.
What? Suicide...?
In the investigation that followed,
it was revealed that the enemy was a Shinobi
from another land that uses a unique tactic.
Perhaps he took his own life in order to seal that power.
What's the "unique" tactic?
Something you would call a biological weapon.
Biological weapon?
It's a particular pathogen...
a terrible weapon where someone infected will gradually lose oneself
and have their body taken over.
But how is that connected with monitoring Akamaru?
Could it be that Akamaru was...?!
There's a possibility he's infected.
He still doesn't look so well.
Y Yeah...
Since Akamaru's not in his best condition,
I'm skipping training today as well.
Okay...
Oh!
Wh What're you doing, Shino?!
Shino, do something quick!
Shino!
The insects suddenly stopped listening to me.
Jeez, give me a break.
I'm sorry.
We'll head back early for the time being. See ya.
I hope... Akamaru gets better soon.
Shino?
It's the first time the insects have attacked a comrade...
What is it, Akamaru?
Oh, shoot! I've been spotted!
What're you doing, Naruto?
Wh What, you ask?
I'm developing a new Jutsu, believe it!
So as for me, I'm busy and...
Kiba's Long Day
Is there no mistake, Sis?
I'd say the possibility at this point is around fifty fifty.
I still haven't been able to identify it,
but these are the lab results of the blood drawn from Akamaru...
But! It could be some kind of mistake!
Do you think I, a veterinarian, would make such a mistake?
Yeah... You're right.
What is it, Akamaru?!
Let go! Let go!
Akamaru, it's Naruto. It's okay to let go.
Hey, Akamaru!
Akamaru!
What did you do that for Akamaru?
I mean, what're you doing in the front yard of my house?
Huh? Well, that's...
Anyway, come in.
For the time being, I have to fulfill my responsibility as the owner.
What?
What?!
Geez! Biting a comrade of the same village can't be allowed!
Are you training him properly, Kiba?!
All right.
It's finished! Perfect if I do say so myself!
Sis! That looks just like a surgical scar!
What? Really? I thought it turned out well, though...
Sorry, Naruto.
Have Sakura or someone patch them up for you!
Hm? Right...
See ya.
Right.
See you later too, Miss Hana!
Akamaru...
I'm telling you,
there's nothing else other than my pants getting all torn up.
Shino's insects attacked Akamaru...
He even attacked Naruto, whom he should know very well.
There's trouble, Lady Tsunade!
It seems they were attacked by someone
in the middle of night training.
Looks like they launched a sneak attack with quite a few men.
No, it seems there was just one culprit.
What?! All of this by one person?!
To be precise, that's not correct.
It's one animal.
There's no doubt.
There's trouble, Kiba!
You're talking about the incident
where Shinobi were attacked during night training last night, right...?
It It can't be!
It seems it's as you said, Sis...
I can smell blood from Akamaru.
That's Kiba Inuzuka's Ninja Hound Akamaru, correct?
You jerks. What do you want with Akamaru?!
A warrant...?
Kiba...!
Yes, there's no mistake.
Kiba Inuzuka, by order of the Hokage,
the Ninja Hound Akamaru is to be kept
under the supervision of the Anbu Black Ops.
- Damn it! - Kiba!
We should obey the Lady Hokage's order.
Damn it!
Akamaru...
Here.
Thanks, Sis.
This contains medicine that I prepared,
so give it to the vet over there.
Right. I'm off, then.
Naruto?
What's the idea of Akamaru being detained?!
Akamaru is the culprit from last night's incident.
We have sufficient proof as well.
At this point, it's an unavoidable measure.
The Medical Team is now desperately looking for a way to save Akamaru.
Don't worry too much.
Lf... that doesn't work either, what'll happen to Akamaru?
At that time...
there'll be nothing left to do but to put Akamaru down!
Hidden Leaf Veterinary Hospital
You don't need to worry.
The Medical Corps will figure something out soon.
Right...
Take care on your way home.
Right.
Akamaru...
I won't hand you over to anyone.
It seems Kiba Inuzuka has taken Akamaru and fled.
Lady Tsunade, what shall we do?
In preparation for the worst,
have the Special Pursuit Corps stand by here!
The Special Pursuit Corps...
C Could it be that you're really going to kill Akamaru... Grandma?
Grandma Tsunade!
It's hard for me, too.
Damn it!
Did you find them?!
No!
Kiba!
He's rapidly getting worse.
Akamaru!
Where are they?
They should be around here.
I swore to protect him, no matter what!
I swore never I'd never let him go through that experience ever again...!
The Special Pursuit Corps has assembled.
Show the team in.
Kiba!
Where are you?!
I guess I was able to hide my tracks somewhat...
This is a serum for Akamaru that the Medical Corps whipped up.
I can't guarantee the level of effect.
There's maybe a fifty percent chance of survival.
There's also a risk of side effects
that would cause Akamaru to go even more berserk.
In the event that happens...
It's an unavoidable measure, but Akamaru must...
Reporting!
The Akamaru Pursuit Corps has lost the trail of Kiba and Akamaru.
Lady Tsunade.
That way?!
Akamaru...
Kiba!
Wh What's that?
It's Akamaru...
But...
I won't hand over Akamaru to anyone!
What're you doing?!
Have you come to kill Akamaru?!
No! I just came out of concern!
You lie! The Lady Hokage said it, didn't she?!
There'll be nothing else to do but to kill Akamaru.
You came to dispose of Akamaru, right?!
I won't hand over Akamaru to anyone!
This isn't the time to be doing that!
Something called the Special Pursuit Corps or whatever is coming after Akamaru!
What?!
The Pursuit Corps should be here soon.
Akamaru will really be in trouble if that happens!
You and I have to do something before that!
This isn't the time to be fighting!
Shut up!
Why don't you get it, Kiba?!
Shut up!
All right! I've sighted Akamaru!
Kiba, Naruto! You guys step back!
C Could it be... the Pursuit Corps is...
Sis!
You gotta be... joking, right?
Sis!
What're you going to do to Akamaru with that?
This is medicine I received from the Hokage.
I'm going to inject it into Akamaru.
Then Akamaru will be saved?!
The probability is fifty fifty.
If it fails and side effects are produced,
Akamaru's symptoms will get even worse.
All we can do now is take a chance on this.
If the worst happens and it fails...
You understand, right, Kiba?
Damn it...
Even if it's only fifty percent,
there's a possibility that Akamaru will be saved.
We've gotta do this! I'll also help out, miss!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Kiba, what about you?!
If you're not going to do anything, you're in the way, so beat it!
Let's go, Kiba.
Just leave that coward be.
You're ready, right? Let's go, Naruto!
We'll save you now, Akamaru!
Aim for the legs! Immobilize Akamaru!
Right!
Since it's come to this, I have no choice.
I must terminate Akamaru.
Stop!
I said stop... Akamaru.
Kiba!
Kiba?
Akamaru...
Have you forgotten... my scent?
We were always together from when we were little, weren't we?
Akamaru...
Why... why... did you become like this?
Please remember... Akamaru!
Kiba!
I'm sorry, Akamaru...
I put you through nothing but painful experiences.
I'm sorry, Akamaru... I couldn't protect you...
I'm sorry... Akamaru...
I'm a terrible master.
But...
I'II... always be with you.
Kiba...
Kiba!
It really would've been touch and go
if the Medical Corps had been even a little late in arriving.
Without a doubt,
he would've lost his life if Akamaru's attack had hit Kiba's vital spot...
Really, it could have been much worse.
That's wrong...
Huh? Kiba?!
When he came at me with his final attack,
Akamaru just barely missed my vital spots.
He drained all his remaining strength in order to desperately control himself.
Akamaru was battling desperately with himself.
That's admirable, Akamaru!
Thanks...
Akamaru.
Yesterday's Call Sign, was all from my cell phone.
In a strange park, I play the Fuzz Guitar without enthusiasm.
Yellow Moon.
Even now, counting to three, I open my eyes
Shadow Moon I am still dreaming.
Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, as we face one another's back
Look at my eyes, when can we meet?
EveryDay EveryNight With every word I can think of
Right away, my messy feelings as is,
A magical chord change, in a restless city
A daily JAZZ Guitar played in a soft minor key
