To think the Leaf's reinforcements will be you of all people!
A man should always repay the debt he owes a woman.
Always the bothersome guy with the man and woman stuff!
Gaara and Kankuro are chasing after the guys who took our village g irl.
Forget about here and head for them!
We've received information.
Gaara and Kankuro have entered their respective battles.
I see...
The shadow won't reach, I guess...
Leaf Village's two man cells are just now heading there for back up.
How well prepared.
It's a pain,
but as long as we're doing this, we'll do it right.
We'll do it perfectly without producing casualties!
Make sure you don't cry in front of me this time.
Are you going to hold that over my head forever?
Just like a woman...
I I feel like I don't really have my place in this.
I'll take care of all of you at once!
Here it comes!
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
Sealed Sand. The Counterattack!
To think you'd ask the Leaf Village for help...
I guess the Sand has lost the edge they used to have, huh?
Why are you here?
You know, dogs.
They're not satisfied until a favor has been properly returned.
Especially this Akamaru!
A dog retuning a favor doesn't have much of a ring to it!
Help is on the way to the other two as well.
You concentrate on this fight!
You're giving me lip!
So you flies are gonna gang up on me, huh?
But you're no match for my Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword.
Eat this!
If your Chakra isn't built up, your sand is no big deal at all!
It'll only be useful for blinding me at best!
It's futile!
I feel it. Your Chakra is being sucked up.
What?! He was setting the sand in the gourd aside?!
I was being cautious, but he is much too strong.
Gaara Sensei!
Just what I'd expect from Gaara of the Sand.
He's not called the ultimate weapon for nothing...
The ultimate... weapon?!
However, he cannot exceed our Ninja tools
forged in the Village of the Artisans!
Gaara!
Hey, he's totally got the edge!
Do we have a chance to return the favor?
That's incredible wind. What an amount of Chakra...
No, it seems that sword is amplifying her Chakra.
So she's relying on that sword for all of her attack and defense, huh?
Anyway, we've got to slip within firing range for our Jutsu
and stop her movements!
Right.
Let's go at once!
Annoying!
She's attempting to maintain her distance just from Temari.
I see.
So she just wants to pay attention to the long range type Temari and
blow us mid range Jutsu users away with wind
before we can get close, huh...?
Now then, what should we do?
Man Beast Clone!
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
Crow!
- Arms! - Fang Over Fang!
Did you guys come to get in my way?!
We made sure to send you a signal, right?!
How could I tell?!
We don't click at all?
Are you guys... messing around?!
Be more serious and die!
Talking nonsense!
Although I reduced the damage with my Infinite Kujaku Armor, still...
Just what I'd expect of Gaara,
the Sand's ultimate w eapon who hosts the Shukaku...
But you're already in our hands.
What should I do? She's beyond the range of my Jutsu...
and I don't see anything around here that could be used to extend my shadow.
Hey!
What're you whispering about?
What're you thinking?!
I'll explain later, for crying out loud. Can you do it or not?
I suppose I could try, but...
What is it...?
What's he doing?
Behold the terror of Ninja tools our village created.
What's this Chakra?
This is a water vein!
I get it!
The lines connecting the point in the center and triangle isn't a Barrier...
It's a water vein!
Ninja Tool Barrier: Reverse Scale Formation... Activate!
Oh no!
Gaara Sensei!
The aim of the Reverse Scale Formation was a single point, Gaara from the start!
Our swords accurately pierce a water vein
and summon the water dragon.
Sand has sucked up a large amount of water
and has become as heavy as lead...
Now Gaara can no longer use sand.
Gaara!
- Gaara! - Calm down!
Lee and Naruto are heading for Gaara!
That guy is?!
They'll save Gaara, no matter what.
We need to concentrate on the enemy in front of us.
To think you'd choose a sandy area to fall on...
Just what I'd expect of Gaara of the desert...
However!
That's as far as your useless resistance goes!
Leaf Hurricane!
A hero's turn always comes late!
That's right!
Sorry to keep you waiting, Gaara!
Naruto!
It seems you rushed to everyone during the Sasuke incident...
This time we've come to return the favor from that time.
So we'll take that guy on!
You hurry to your student straight on!
To think he'd corner you this far...
- Lee! - Sakura!
Leave Gaara's treatment to me! Lee, you go with Naruto!
- Sakura! - Got it!
Then I'll be going first!
Be careful. His armor sucks up Chakra!
I'll suck up all of your Chakra!
I see. So this means we can't release our regular power?
That doesn't matter!
Even without Chakra, we've got fighting spirit!
Yes! We'll go with that plus willpower!
Just as I thought.
That they haven't launched anything during the fight thus far means
the two reinforcements don't have long range type Jutsu.
Then I'll maintain this distance and...
you'll die getting torn up by the wind!
While she's distracted by Shikamaru and the others,
I'll just go for it!
Mind Destruction...!
Ino!
Foolish girl. It's useless to attempt to exploit an opening!
You little!
You won't get close to me! I've read your range as well!
I don't know about that...!
Ino! You stay right there!
I'm counting on you...!
Shino! Sakura!
There's one wounded at the waterfall.
Tunneling Fang!
Now!
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
Oh...!
What're you doing?!
Are you guys... mocking me?
After sucking up all of your Chakra, I'll be returning the favor plenty!
The contusion treatment is complete.
But, the depletion of Chakra is overwhelming.
Contact from your friends...?
- Ino's hurt?! - Go!
Wha?! But in your condition...
I'm okay now. Help your friend!
Okay. Don't push yourself.
Yeah...
What're you doing?! Hurry up and go after your comrade!
I'll help my comrade.
I'll settle this in a moment.
But...
Bushy Brow!
Damn it. It's no good just shot gunning it!
It's just him?
A part of Black Ant...
Could it be...a signal?
Fang Over Fang once more!
Back me up with Crow!
I'm counting on you for back up too, Choji!
Got it!
Heh! Bossing me around.
The counterattack starts now!
It's futile. Your Jutsu won't reach me!
You never know until you try, right...?!
Here we go!
Wind Style: Cyclone Scythe!
Huh?!
What're you aiming at?! Totally misguided...
Say what?
What's the meaning of this?
I'm sure I'd read your range already...!
I'll show you!
I can create a shadow with this thick a current
even if the water's clear.
My Jutsu's range has infinitely improved by lifting the waterfall!
The Shadow Possession Jutsu is a success!
Summoning...
Blade Dance!
This one's done!
Good grief...
I...couldn't do anything.
Here everyone's doing their best...
Only I...
Ino?
Gaara.
You don't have any sand left you can use.
What's this?!
He smashed the Sand Armor.
No way! But the sand heavy with water like that...
If I just suck up the Chakra...
This is my weapon!
You okay, Gaara?!
This is the finishing blow...
Gaara Sensei!
Hurry! Leave the rest to us!
Man Beast Clone!
Fang Over Fang!
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
Annoying buzzing flies!
Dragon Eye: Fang Release: Dark Sword!
What?!
Oh, no!
Puppet Show...
Secret Black Move Iron Maiden!
The show's over!
- We did it! - Yeah!
Matsuri.
Gaara and...!
A Shinobi carrying a child on his back.
He's heading for the valley.
The last one...
Gaara is chasing him!
What?!
You okay, Bushy Brow? Sakura will be right back.
Thanks.
Well, I'm going after Gaara!
Got it! I'll meet up with you later!
I've got him cornered.
Matsuri.
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
