Fly into the wavy and twisted sky, into your hands
The distance created between us became too big,
because we were always together
Your honest reply, "See you..."
coming from that brash mouth makes it sadder.
If you are in an unfamiliar town, crying
Then I want to deliver you a smile, even if I'm not by your side
Fly into the wavy and twisted sky, into your hands
I can feel it so close,
Our two hearts
Stop that!
Sorry to have kept you waiting! Naruto Uzumaki has just arrived!
I'm not handing Gantetsu over to you, no matter what!
That's...
It can't be...!
To Each His Own Path
You... You mean you ripped through my net?!
I can cut through a weak flimsy net like that with a single bite!
It's useless! You won't be able to tear through my Mesh Cage!
I'm gonna have Gantetsu back!
I'm telling you, it's useless!
Damn it! I can't get this thing off!
Here, just die already!
- Naruto! - Naruto!
You're mine!
Too bad!
So it's you who's gonna die, after all!
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Go!
This is the end for you!
What's that?!
Shura, on the scene!
The kid! The kid inside that net knows where the treasure is!
Good job, Monju!
Akio!
Akio...?!
- Akio! Bro! - Akio! Bro!
Thank you.
Gantetsu...
I heard you say the name Akio, just now...
Who in the world is that kid?
That kid... Akio...
He's your... He's your little brother.
Th That's a lie!
My younger brother... My younger brother has...
In those flames...
Akio...
You... killed him...!
No!
Gantetsu hasn't killed anybody!
He rescued us! He rescued Akio!
Five years ago.
I had developed a distate for the Ninja Dropout's way...
I found myself carrying Akio...
Akio!
Elder brother!
No! You'll inhale smoke!
Damn it!
I thought I could change a little if I could only save that child.
But that's not what happened!
I just continued to create victims like Akio.
So that's why I started planning what's happening right now
in order to exterminate the Ninja Dropouts.
So that's what happened...
- Gantetsu! - Gantetsu, are you all right?
You're not hurt, are you?
I'm glad you're ok.
They are children from the houses that the Ninja Dropouts attacked...
Using the money Gantetsu poached from the gang,
Akio, the oldest, has been taking care of them.
Gantetsu is just like the central figure of a family.
I can't believe this...
You mean that... the kid who was there just now was...
Akio!!
Where are you going... Gantetsu?!
To the Ninja Dropouts' hideout.
I'm gonna get... Akio back!
I will get Akio back! Your only job is to guide me there!
Don't interfere!
Todoroki, I understand how you feel.
However, Gantetsu saved Akio and all these other kids
from the Ninja Dropouts!
Besides, there's something you should do before that!
Don't mess around with me!
Even so, this guy... Gantetsu... is a member of the Ninja Dropouts.
The Ninja Dropouts killed my parents!
You're absolutely right.
My own crime will never be washed away.
As soon as I get Akio back... you can... do whatever you like to me!
I'm going, too!
Me, too!
Then, Sakura, please look after the children!
Leave it to me!
Todoroki...
I've continued hating that guy for five years...
What am I supposed to do now...?
Damn it!
In any case, we've got to take care of your little brother right now!
I know that!
This time for sure... I'll rescue Akio!
Where did you stash our treasure?!
Where's your hideout?!
Come on! Talk!
I'll never... tell you!
You little brat!
That's the Ninja Dropouts' hideout...
That residence belongs to Shura, the leader.
I'm pretty sure that's where Akio will be.
Akio...
Oh! Hey! Todoroki! Wait!
Damn!
This ain't good! They'll detect us!
Leaf Hurricane!
Let me handle this situation!
I leave it to you, Bushy Brows.
Akio!
This way.
I'm pretty sure that Akio is being tortured in the basement...
That guy was once a Ninja.
There's no telling what he'll try to do.
I'll go first.
Akio!
W Wait!
Akio...!
Gantetsu...!
You jerk...!
Don't come over here!
Gantetsu!
Akio!
Hey! Gantetsu!
So only one animal got caught in the net, huh...?
Shura!
He's one stubborn brat. He never unsealed his lips.
I'll use another method to get back the treasure.
After I've killed the lot of you!
Naruto, pursue Shura!
We'll be fine! Iron bars like this are nothing!
Got it!
Todoroki, I'm leaving this in your hands!
Farewell.
Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Todoroki, you take care of Akio!
Todoroki!
Blood Rain!
I won't forgive you... no matter what!
Rasengan!
So that's what happened...
Gantetsu... that's how you protected Akio...
Yet I... I...!
Gantetsu! Give me Akio!
Elder brother... you came to rescue me, after all...
Hang in there, Akio!
My elder brother... Todoroki, it's really you, isn't it?
This spells the end of the Ninja Dropout.
Yeah...
That's right.
But where is Naruto?
Hey!
Naruto Uzumaki! On the scene!
Naruto! Lee!
Akio!
Akio's back!
It's Akio...!
Are you all right, Akio?!
Yeah...
Oh my gosh, you're hurt!
I'm fine. It's nothing!
Sakura, could you take care of his wound?
Leave it to me.
Take care of him.
Apologies for the inconvenience... Let's head to the capital.
I just cannot forgive you.
But it is true that you rescued Akio.
The Ninja Dropouts have been annihilated.
Gantetsu got caught up and died in the fighting
that ensued while being escorted.
Elder brother...
Todoroki...
Yeah! Great! That's great!
You're gonna stay here, right?
Huh?
You're gonna stay here with Gantetsu and the other children, right?
I haven't been a good brother...
But you are an irreplaceable elder brother for those children.
Elder brother...
What's this...?
This is the souvenir that
I didn't have a chance to give you back then.
Elder brother... Thank you.
Let's go! Ninja!
Okay!
- Good bye! - Good bye!
- Take care, everyone!
- See you!
- Bye! - See you!
Hey... How are we gonna get out of this forest...
without Gantetsu?!
We can't go back now!
We took this path earlier on too, didn't we...?
I'm starving...
I can't go on.
Hey! Somebody rescue us!
The Key to the rusted heart's door
Will always be smiling right near by
Even if rains of spears were to fall, I will run through it
Because I want to find the joy without a shape
This big dream of mine that cannot be translated to words,
I will make it come true, even if it were to deepen my wounds
We stand here today because of what we believed through,
That is why I will continue running forward, never looking away
Even if I'm told that there is no bright future
I'll change it right away, lighting it with all my feeling
The wind is probably testing our hearts
In my heart, I gently grasped my hands
You are probably searching for the answer to your tears
Your dream is always waiting near by, with the answers in its hands
The Key to the rusted heart's door
Will always be smiling right near by
