Rōmaji
Ano hi hontō ni ushinatta mono tte nan datta kke? Tou ni wasurete shimatta yo

Yuugure de futari sukoshi zutsu mienakunatte ite Sore na no ni Bokura kaerezu ni ita

Dokoka ni kowaresou na moroi kokoro Tsuyogaru kotoba de ootte kakushite'ru Ootte kakushite'ru

Sayonara aenakunatta tte Bokura wa tsuzuki ga aru kara

Kimi no inai sekai datte hashiru yo Itsuka no itami wo koete…

Koete

Kanji
あの日 ホントに失なたつたものつて何だつたけ？ とうに忘れまつたよ

夕暮れで 二人 少しずつ見えなくなっていつて それなのに 僕ら 帰れずにいた

どこかに 壊れそうな脆い心 强がる言叶で覆って隠してる 覆って隠してる

サヨナラ 会えなくなったって 僕らは続きがあるから

君のいない世界だって走るよ いつかの痛みも越えて

超えて

English
What did I really lose on that day? I forgot long ago We lost sight of each other in the twilight What's more; we were unable to return

Somewhere our brittle, broken hearts Try to hide behind strong words Try to hide

Farewell, although we couldn't be together We will carry on Even in a world where you no longer exist, I will run Overcoming one day's pain…

Overcoming

あの日 ホントに失ったものって何だったっけ とうに忘れてしまったよ

夕暮れで 二人 少しずつ見えなくなっていって それなのに 僕ら 帰れずにいた

どこかに 壊れそうな脆い心 強がる言葉で覆って隠してる 覆って隠してる

サヨナラ 会えなくなったって 僕らは続きがあるから 君のいない世界だって走るよ いつかの痛みも越えて

割れたガラスのかけら 草むらの匂い 夏の傷口 ねぇ 君は今 どこにいるの

澄み切った水も いつしか鈍く濁ってしまって 気づいたら 僕も 大人になってた

ゆらゆら 水面 乱反射していた 光は今でも輝き渡ってる 輝き渡ってる

サヨナラ あの日 手を振って あれから君も変わったんだろう それでも生きていくんだって いくつも泣きたい夜を越えて

あの日 ホントに失ったものって何だったっけ

サヨナラ 会えなくなったって 僕らは続きがあるから 僕が創る世界なんで走るよ いつか見た未来も越えて

What was it that I truly lost that day? I forgot a long time ago

In the twilight, the two of us started to become unnoticeable, little by little Nevertheless, we wouldn't return home

Somewhere is my seemingly broken and fragile heart Covered and hidden, covered and hidden by words under the pretence of being strong

You said that we can't meet anymore, so we'll move on, farewell Even if you aren't in this world, I will run, surpassing someday's pain

Broken fragments of glass, the scent of grassy places, the wounds of summer Hey, where are you now?

Unnoticed, the perfectly clear water has become dull and muddy When you realised that, I too had grown up

The water's surface wobbled; diffusing my reflection A light is still shining through, shining through

Even you must have changed since that day we waved our hands in farewell But still I live on, surpassing the many nights I want to cry

What was it that I truly lost that day?

You said that we can't meet anymore, so we'll move on, farewell How should I make the world I'm running to, surpassing the future I once saw

Trivia

 * This opening, Diver, and Assault Rock are the only openings to have the Naruto: Shippūūden logo placed near the end.
 * This opening shows many fights that did not occur in the manga or anime, such as:
 * Sai fighting the Asura Path even though Sai wasn't at the village during Pain's assault.
 * Hinata, Sakura and Ino battling against Konan.
 * Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten and Kiba fighting the Deva Path.
 * Chōji and Kakashi fighting the Preta Path.
 * Despite many things in the opening not occuring in the actual series, Shizune being swiped of soul by the Human Path was one of the occurrences in the series. However, while she wears a Flak Jacket in the opening, she wears her normal attire in the manga and anime.
