**[00:34] ---**
    *I had nothing…*
**[00:41] ---**
    *This is still not enough…*
**[00:47] ---**
    *This is still not me!*
**[00:55] ---**
    That's why…
    I've kept adding onto myself.
**[01:01] ---**
    That's why I don't need
    your lectures.
**[01:04] ---**
    I need your abilities and intel.
**[01:07] ---**
    Not only are you
    a Leaf Shinobi,
**[01:09] ---**
    you're of the famed
    Uchiha bloodline.
**[01:12] ---**
    You possess the Sharingan that
    has awakened the Mangekyo…
**[01:16] ---**
    You bore many secrets
    and stopped a war…
**[01:18] ---**
    You had many jutsu
    and much power.
**[01:23] ---**
    Itachi, you possessed many things
    that made you who you are.
**[01:27] ---**
    There is no finer Reanimation
    out there of mine than you.
**[01:33] ---**
    And my pawns are
    part of my power!
**[01:36] ---**
    You exaggerate…
**[01:39] ---**
    The reality is, I failed.
**[01:43] ---**
    No, even though I mocked
    the Uchiha name in front of you earlier,
**[01:49] ---**
    I'm still quite envious
    of that name.
**[01:52] ---**
    The Uchiha name merely
    identifies one's bloodline
**[01:55] ---**
    and clan membership.
**[01:57] ---**
    So it's meaningless for you
    to claim it.
**[02:09] ---**
    *I was nobody.*
**[02:15] ---**
    *I had nothing.*
**[02:19] ---**
    *I bet he's from that city…*
**[02:21] ---**
    *where that recent battle was!*
**[02:24] ---**
    *Where are your parents?*
**[02:28] ---**
    *Don't worry.*
**[02:30] ---**
    *I may not look it, but I know*
    *some Medical Ninjutsu.*
**[02:36] ---**
    *How about…Kabuto?*
**[02:39] ---**
    *Sounds simple.*
**[02:40] ---**
    *That was quick.*
**[02:41] ---**
    *You called it by just how he looks.*
**[02:42] ---**
    *It's best not to overthink things.*
**[02:45] ---**
    *Until I was given a name…*
**[02:47] ---**
    *and a place to call home…*
**[02:50] ---**
    Claiming a name is meaningless?
**[02:53] ---**
    No… It does hold meaning.
**[02:58] ---**
    Are you sure we can't kill him?
**[03:01] ---**
    We're stuck playing catch-up!
**[03:02] ---**
    I told you no!
**[03:05] ---**
    He controls the battlefield right now.
**[03:06] ---**
    Be patient.
**[03:07] ---**
    Is the Izanami still not ready?
**[03:10] ---**
    He's about to come after us!
**[03:16] ---**
    I'm already on him.
**[03:18] ---**
    It's just going to take
    a little more time.
**[03:21] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru said thusly…
**[03:24] ---**
    *Sakon! Demon Twin Jutsu!*
**[03:28] ---**
    *Jirobo! Earth Style:*
    *Terra Shield!*
**[03:39] ---**
    "If you want to know who
    and what you are,
**[03:42] ---**
    "all you need to do is gather
    every single thing
**[03:45] ---**
    "and piece of information
    that exists in this world!"
**[03:49] ---**
    *Kidomaru!*
**[03:51] ---**
    *Spiral Web!*
**[03:55] ---**
    These threads can't be cut
    with a blade!
**[03:57] ---**
    – Amaterasu!
    – Amaterasu!
**[04:03] ---**
    *Kimimaro!*
**[04:06] ---**
    *Macabre Bone Pulse!*
    *Bracken Dance!*
**[04:11] ---**
    He's laid down the spider silk
    all the way to the back.
**[04:14] ---**
    I'll get the one behind us!
    Take the front, Brother!
**[04:16] ---**
    Can you still use the Susano'o?
**[04:18] ---**
    Yeah.
**[04:18] ---**
    *Inferno Style! Flame Control!*
**[04:30] ---**
    Running away to the back?
**[04:33] ---**
    Well, it's no use!
**[04:36] ---**
    *Tayuya! Demon Flute:*
    *Chains of Fantasia!*
**[04:43] ---**
    Are you okay, Sasu—?!
**[04:50] ---**
    A genjutsu, huh?
**[04:52] ---**
    Even your specialty, Susano'o,
    cannot stifle sound…
**[04:56] ---**
    I knew it…
**[04:59] ---**
    Now you're immobilized.
**[05:01] ---**
    All that's left is…
**[05:04] ---**
    to take you into me
    using Lord Orochimaru!
**[06:38] ---**
    *The Izanami Activated*
**[06:47] ---**
    Well, Sasuke…
**[06:49] ---**
    Do you recognize
    this current form of mine?
**[06:54] ---**
    *That's…!*
**[06:56] ---**
    Thanks to you, I was finally
    able to take
**[06:59] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru into my body
    after you killed him!
**[07:08] ---**
    Yes, this is my true form…
**[07:13] ---**
    Remember, I said that all the laws
    and principles of Nature,
**[07:15] ---**
    which Lord Orochimaru researched
    and compiled for so long…
**[07:17] ---**
    are now stored and
    being used inside of me.
**[07:23] ---**
    The only thing that was missing…
    was Lord Orochimaru himself!
**[07:28] ---**
    Now, I have him inside me!
**[07:32] ---**
    I can't thank you enough, Sasuke!
**[07:36] ---**
    Kabuto…
**[07:37] ---**
    You are not Orochimaru.
**[07:40] ---**
    It's fine to imitate someone
    you respect…
**[07:43] ---**
    But don't remake yourself
    into him, to that extent.
**[07:50] ---**
    The majority of people start out
    by mimicking someone.
**[07:55] ---**
    Like how Sasuke mimicked you.
**[08:21] ---**
    *Wow, Brother!*
**[08:23] ---**
    *You nailed every target,*
**[08:24] ---**
    *even the one in the blind spot*
    *behind the rock!*
**[08:26] ---**
    *All right, my turn!*
**[08:28] ---**
    *Sasuke!*
**[08:29] ---**
    *It's time to go.*
**[08:32] ---**
    *You said that you would teach me*
    *a new shuriken jutsu.*
**[08:36] ---**
    *I have an important mission tomorrow*
    *that I must prepare for.*
**[08:41] ---**
    *You're a liar…*
**[08:50] ---**
    *Sorry, Sasuke.*
**[08:51] ---**
    – *Maybe some other time.*
    – *Ow!*
**[08:56] ---**
    *Big Brother, watch this!*
**[08:59] ---**
    *Hey!*
**[09:01] ---**
    *Don't be reckless…*
**[09:15] ---**
    *Keep at it and become great*
    *like your brother.*
**[09:20] ---**
    *Father… I…*
**[09:24] ---**
    *I wanted you to say that*
    *you were proud of me.*
**[09:31] ---**
    Such behavior is merely a process
    to help one mature!
**[09:35] ---**
    Don't use it as a cloak
    to deceive yourself,
**[09:37] ---**
    like you've done!
**[09:41] ---**
    You gain nothing when
    you attach your self-value
**[09:44] ---**
    to something external that's admirable
    and praiseworthy to you.
**[09:52] ---**
    I'll say this one last time.
**[09:54] ---**
    Don't mislead yourself with lies.
**[09:57] ---**
    Those who cannot acknowledge
    themselves will invariably fail.
**[10:03] ---**
    Fail? The way I am now?
**[10:08] ---**
    How?!
**[10:12] ---**
    Sasuke… Look into my eyes!
**[10:16] ---**
    I understand!
**[10:18] ---**
    *Genjutsu… Sharingan!*
**[10:19] ---**
    *Tsukuyomi!*
**[10:40] ---**
    I shall now engage the Izanami.
**[10:43] ---**
    You have already…failed.
**[10:52] ---**
    Is it over?
**[11:10] ---**
    A genius that had everything
    would never understand…
**[11:15] ---**
    I just want to be who
    and what I am!
**[11:20] ---**
    I won't let anyone stop me.
**[11:37] ---**
    Sa…suke…
**[11:47] ---**
    *Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!*
**[11:50] ---**
    *Water Style: Giant Waterfall!*
**[12:32] ---**
    The same moves.
**[12:34] ---**
    As expected…
    It makes it easy for me to counter.
**[12:37] ---**
    I already told you that as long as
    I have my power of recovery,
**[12:42] ---**
    wounding me is meaningless.
**[12:45] ---**
    Since I shut off my vision,
    genjutsu won't work on me.
**[12:50] ---**
    You have no chance of winning.
**[12:53] ---**
    Your fate is already in my hands.
**[12:57] ---**
    Thanks to the Uchiha's other
    Forbidden Jutsu.
**[13:00] ---**
    That is…
**[13:05] ---**
    Well then…
**[13:06] ---**
    Shall we put that to the test?!
**[13:12] ---**
    …the Izanami!
**[13:18] ---**
    Sasuke, do not leave my side.
**[13:23] ---**
    Why this is just like déjà vu.
**[13:27] ---**
    I'm bored…
**[13:29] ---**
    Let's end this fight already.
**[13:33] ---**
    Your fate may be in my hands now…
**[13:36] ---**
    but you're the only one
    who can truly decide
**[13:39] ---**
    how that fate shapes your destiny.
**[13:42] ---**
    Remember what I've told you.
**[13:45] ---**
    And think hard.
**[13:48] ---**
    I have no idea what
    you're talking about.
**[13:52] ---**
    Enough of your word games.
**[13:55] ---**
    I will have everything…
    I am the strongest of all!
**[13:59] ---**
    That is fact!
**[14:03] ---**
    He who forgives oneself,
    who can acknowledge one's true self…
**[14:08] ---**
    is the most powerful of all!
**[14:13] ---**
    Losers…
**[14:16] ---**
    should be quiet!
**[14:25] ---**
    *This is…*
**[14:29] ---**
    *What's…going on?*
**[14:45] ---**
    *Why? That horn's already*
    *been cut off!*
**[14:49] ---**
    *How? I have no sight…*
**[14:53] ---**
    *I should be invulnerable to genjutsu.*
**[14:55] ---**
    *But this is clearly a…!*
**[15:16] ---**
    What did you do to me?!
**[15:19] ---**
    You're in my Visual Jutsu.
**[15:23] ---**
    Impossible!
**[15:27] ---**
    It's the Izanami!
**[15:31] ---**
    *How…?*
**[15:33] ---**
    No matter.
**[15:36] ---**
    No one can stop me!
**[15:38] ---**
    There's nothing I can't do!
**[16:02] ---**
    I told you…
**[16:04] ---**
    I hold your fate in my hands.
**[16:07] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha!
**[16:19] ---**
    *If this is a genjutsu…*
**[16:24] ---**
    Release!
**[16:52] ---**
    *Calm down…*
**[16:53] ---**
    *This is an Uchiha Genjutsu.*
**[16:55] ---**
    *Moreover, Itachi cast it,*
    *so it won't be easy to undo.*
**[17:00] ---**
    *But there are many ways*
    *to undo a genjutsu!*
**[17:03] ---**
    It's useless.
**[17:05] ---**
    Recall my words to you.
**[17:07] ---**
    Sure! I'll copy the same trick
    you two used!
**[17:17] ---**
    Tayuya! Demon Flute:
    Chains of Fantasia!
**[17:23] ---**
    *This will switch from Itachi's control*
    *over genjutsu*
**[17:25] ---**
    *to Tayuya's control.*
**[17:40] ---**
    Then, I'll do this!
**[17:42] ---**
    Sage Art… Inorganic Animation!
**[17:55] ---**
    This area is under my control!
**[17:58] ---**
    I'll retreat for now…
**[18:12] ---**
    Damn it!
**[18:14] ---**
    Don't mess with me!
**[18:25] ---**
    He cannot escape
    this samsara, this loop.
**[18:31] ---**
    This is the other Forbidden Jutsu…
    the companion to Izanagi.
**[18:38] ---**
    The jutsu that decides one's fate…
**[18:42] ---**
    This is the Izanami.
**[18:57] ---**
    Tailed Beast Counting Song!
**[18:59] ---**
    All right, here we go!

    *They're all wonderful shinobi*
**[22:38] ---**
    So Kabuto's trapped in
    your loop now?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    The Izanami is a jutsu meant
    for stopping the Izanagi.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    There's an escape route built
    into the loop.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    What does that mean?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    What I'm going to tell you now is
    a part of the Uchiha's history,
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    of how the companion to the Izanagi,
    the Izanami came to be.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Izanagi and Izanami"
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan, and
    their history of conflict.

**[00:08] ---**
    It makes it easier to cast
    my real Visual Genjutsu on him
**[00:10] ---**
    by keeping him trapped in
    a small loop like this.
**[00:14] ---**
    So Kabuto's trapped in
    your loop now?
**[00:19] ---**
    And that's the Izanami?
**[00:23] ---**
    When did you cast it?
**[00:25] ---**
    The first time Kabuto stabbed me
    with that blade.
**[00:35] ---**
    Back then, huh?
**[00:37] ---**
    But how?
**[00:40] ---**
    You mentioned a Visual Jutsu
    that is possible without sight.
**[00:45] ---**
    How can Visual Jutsu work
    without eyesight?
**[00:48] ---**
    Izanami is a Visual Jutsu that
    works with the physical senses
**[00:51] ---**
    of both yourself and your opponents.
**[00:55] ---**
    The physical senses of two people?
**[00:59] ---**
    As you are battling your opponent,
    you take a record, like a photograph,
**[01:02] ---**
    of the physical senses that
    both you and your opponent
**[01:06] ---**
    are feeling during that instant,
    with your Visual Jutsu.
**[01:09] ---**
    We'll call that A.
**[01:12] ---**
    As time progresses,
**[01:14] ---**
    you find "B" is a more
    important moment,
**[01:16] ---**
    then you record "C" and
    so on with Sharingan.
**[01:20] ---**
    Then you recreate
    those exact physical senses.
**[01:23] ---**
    So you're using your powers to
    create an exact copy of A.
**[01:28] ---**
    We'll call this A'.
**[01:30] ---**
    FLOW OF TIME
    By overlaying
    and connecting A to A',
**[01:33] ---**
    FLOW OF TIME
    the Izanami also links
    a path for B' and C'
**[01:37] ---**
    FLOW OF TIME
    to create fluctuations within
    a fixed time.
**[01:40] ---**
    In other words, it's the power
    to create an infinite loop.
**[01:44] ---**
    Naturally, all in exchange for
    one's own sight of course,
**[01:47] ---**
    exactly like Izanagi.
**[01:50] ---**
    So Kabuto's consciousness
    is trapped inside
**[01:53] ---**
    fighting a phantom you and
    a phantom me for all eternity.
**[01:59] ---**
    No.
**[02:00] ---**
    There is an escape route built
    into the jutsu.
**[02:05] ---**
    The Izanami was developed
    to admonish
**[02:08] ---**
    and save an Izanagi user.
**[02:12] ---**
    What does that mean?
**[02:14] ---**
    You know a little about
    the Izanagi already.
**[02:18] ---**
    It's called the perfect
    Uchiha Visual Jutsu
**[02:21] ---**
    designed to change destiny.
**[02:24] ---**
    If something does not go
    the way you want it to,
**[02:26] ---**
    you can just erase that outcome
    and start all over.
**[02:29] ---**
    Ultimately, you can pick
    and choose
**[02:32] ---**
    the most desirable end result.
**[02:36] ---**
    What I'm about to tell you now
    is the story
**[02:39] ---**
    of the Uchiha's Izanami,
    and how it came to be.
**[02:44] ---**
    I want you to know this too.
**[02:47] ---**
    The Uchiha's Izanami…
    the story of its creation?
**[04:22] ---**
    *Izanagi and Izanami*
    
    
    
**[04:28] ---**
    Long ago, there was
    a great battle
**[04:30] ---**
    that the Uchiha Clan could not
    afford to lose.
**[04:33] ---**
    The Izanagi tuned out
    to be invaluable.
**[04:38] ---**
    *Go!*
**[04:54] ---**
    *Damn it! They had set a trap!*
**[05:03] ---**
    *What?!*
**[05:05] ---**
    *Die!*
**[05:12] ---**
    *As long as we have the Izanagi,*
    *we can't lose!*
**[05:22] ---**
    However…
**[05:23] ---**
    There's a bigger risk than
    just blindness
**[05:25] ---**
    to a jutsu that allows the casters
    to choose their own ending.
**[05:30] ---**
    Most who used this overly
    powerful Visual Jutsu
**[05:33] ---**
    could not handle it and
    abused their power.
**[05:37] ---**
    It was fine,
**[05:38] ---**
    as long as there was
    only one user of the Izanagi.
**[05:40] ---**
    However, when two or more used it,
**[05:43] ---**
    there was a scramble
    within the Uchiha Clan
**[05:46] ---**
    to see who could get the best result.
**[05:48] ---**
    *You are not the only one*
    *who can use Izanagi!*
**[05:53] ---**
    *I don't like you bossing us around!*
**[05:58] ---**
    *But I'm the one who*
    *accomplished it!*
**[06:01] ---**
    *In the shinobi world,*
    *results count for everything!*
**[06:04] ---**
    *Well then…*
    *I shall rewrite that result…*
**[06:10] ---**
    *with my Izanagi!*
**[06:20] ---**
    *You're only talk.*
**[06:22] ---**
    *I shall rule the Uchiha…*
    *no, the entire shinobi world…*
**[06:28] ---**
    *with my Izanagi!*
**[06:33] ---**
    *I'll take over your wish…*
**[06:37] ---**
    *with my Izanagi!*
**[07:03] ---**
    What was created
**[07:04] ---**
    in order to stop this inter-clan
    rivalry over the Izanagi…
**[07:09] ---**
    is the Izanami.
**[07:15] ---**
    Normal vision-based genjutsu
    is powerless
**[07:18] ---**
    against Visual Prowess…
**[07:25] ---**
    *If you intend to oppose me too,*
**[07:28] ---**
    *I have no choice.*
**[07:42] ---**
    *There has to be a way to*
    *settle this without fighting.*
**[07:46] ---**
    *My hands are already stained*
    *with blood.*
**[07:49] ---**
    *As if I'm going to stop!*
**[07:52] ---**
    *You don't know yourself!*
**[07:55] ---**
    *You don't know your own true strength!*
**[07:59] ---**
    *Oh, shut up!*
**[08:16] ---**
    *It's not too late to*
    *turn back right now!*
**[08:19] ---**
    *If you have the will,*
    *take my hand!*
**[08:24] ---**
    *I won't be fooled!*
**[08:42] ---**
    *If you still refuse to listen,*
    *I'm prepared as well.*
**[09:00] ---**
    *Sneaking up behind me, nice work!*
**[09:03] ---**
    *But as long as I have Izanagi,*
    *you cannot beat me!*
**[09:08] ---**
    *It's over for you!*
**[09:37] ---**
    *I don't believe this!*
**[09:39] ---**
    *My right eye…*
**[09:41] ---**
    *I should have gone blind*
    *with the Izanagi!*
**[09:44] ---**
    *The Izanagi that you depend on so much*
    *will not protect you.*
**[09:48] ---**
    *Shut up!*
**[09:52] ---**
    *N-Not… Not yet!*
**[09:57] ---**
    In the first place,
**[09:58] ---**
    reality is a product of chance
    that we call fate.
**[10:01] ---**
    We can't predict it.
**[10:04] ---**
    But Izanagi can twist around
    an inconvenient reality
**[10:07] ---**
    and lead it to a new fate.
**[10:10] ---**
    REALITY
    
    At a whim,
**[10:12] ---**
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    the user can change
    the original reality into a new one.
**[10:14] ---**
    NEW REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    the user can change
    the original reality into a new one.
**[10:16] ---**
    NEW REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    To the enemy,
    a fallen opponent will revive,
**[10:16] ---**
    ANOTHER REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    To the enemy,
    a fallen opponent will revive,
**[10:19] ---**
    so it's an intolerable jutsu.
**[10:21] ---**
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    The Izanami is set up to take someone
    who is using the Izanagi
**[10:23] ---**
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    to change the outcome
    to benefit oneself,
**[10:26] ---**
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    and cause them to endlessly
    circle around in a loop.
**[10:31] ---**
    I believed that Izanagi was
    the ultimate Visual Jutsu.
**[10:35] ---**
    But that means the Izanami is
    a far superior Visual Jutsu.
**[10:39] ---**
    Izanami forms a loop
**[10:42] ---**
    around the physical sensation
    of Izanagi twisting reality.
**[10:46] ---**
    The Izanami is a jutsu meant
    for stopping the Izanagi.
**[10:49] ---**
    There's an escape route built
    into the loop.
**[10:57] ---**
    Originally, it was a jutsu
    to save Uchiha comrades
**[11:00] ---**
    from arrogance and negligence.
**[11:03] ---**
    It's to stop you from taking
    the easy way out with jutsu.
**[11:25] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[11:27] ---**
    *There's no destiny that*
    *Izanagi cannot change!*
**[11:31] ---**
    *Accept the things you've done,*
**[11:34] ---**
    *and take hold of the future*
    *that awaits you!*
**[11:40] ---**
    *There's no way I can be forgiven*
    *for the blood on my hands.*
**[11:44] ---**
    *Still…*
**[11:45] ---**
    *Take hold of it!*
**[12:03] ---**
    *I won't rely on Izanagi anymore.*
**[12:12] ---**
    *I'll accept reality*
    *and move forward…*
**[12:34] ---**
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    Once one accepts the original outcome
    and stops trying to run from it,
**[12:37] ---**
    REALITY
    
    the loop will stop.
**[12:41] ---**
    This jutsu guides you toward
    accepting your fate,
**[12:44] ---**
    instead of relying on jutsu
    to change it.
**[12:47] ---**
    But a jutsu that has an escape
    is too dangerous to use in actual combat.
**[12:51] ---**
    That's why Izanami is
    a Forbidden Jutsu.
**[12:55] ---**
    If Kabuto stops trying
    to transform himself,
**[12:59] ---**
    he can stop the loop.
**[13:05] ---**
    The strife-filled history
    of the Uchiha…
**[13:09] ---**
    The arrogance and recklessness
    of those who used Izanagi…
**[13:16] ---**
    and how they clashed and
    were stopped by Izanami…
**[13:22] ---**
    I understand now
**[13:24] ---**
    why both Izanagi and Izanami
    came to be Forbidden Jutsu.
**[13:27] ---**
    And I see how one must learn
    from the past
**[13:29] ---**
    and accept one's fate
    and move on.
**[13:35] ---**
    But…
**[13:36] ---**
    But why bother casting this
    on Kabuto?
**[13:41] ---**
    If there's a way to escape…
**[13:43] ---**
    He reminds me of the old me.
**[13:47] ---**
    He thinks by acquiring all there is,
**[13:49] ---**
    he can accomplish
    whatever he wants.
**[13:52] ---**
    He makes himself
    believe that he can't fail,
**[13:56] ---**
    and lies to himself.
**[13:59] ---**
    I stopped listening to anyone else.
    I stopped trusting anyone.
**[14:05] ---**
    In Kabuto's case,
    he is so deluded
**[14:09] ---**
    that he thinks all these powers
    are his and his alone.
**[14:14] ---**
    I empathize with him.
**[14:17] ---**
    We were both used by
    the shinobi world…
**[14:20] ---**
    He can neither forgive himself
    nor accept himself for what he truly is.
**[14:25] ---**
    What he is doing is certainly wrong.
**[14:28] ---**
    But he's not completely to blame
    for not being able to realize that.
**[14:34] ---**
    My chance has passed,
**[14:37] ---**
    but he can still forgive himself
    before he dies.
**[14:40] ---**
    Why would you ever feel
    like you need to help him do that?
**[14:45] ---**
    He is not like you.
    You were perfect!
**[14:49] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[14:51] ---**
    I tried to control you
    with the Visual Jutsu
**[14:54] ---**
    called Koto Amatsukami.
**[14:59] ---**
    I treated you like a child
**[15:01] ---**
    because I thought you
    needed my protection.
**[15:04] ---**
    I didn't trust your strength.
**[15:08] ---**
    It may be that
**[15:09] ---**
    a perfect being does not
    exist at all in the world.
**[15:14] ---**
    Sometimes two who seem
    to be opposites
**[15:16] ---**
    are actually two sides
    of the same coin.
**[15:18] ---**
    They can only succeed when
    they actually work together.
**[15:24] ---**
    Like the Izanagi and Izanami.
**[15:27] ---**
    Look at me,
**[15:29] ---**
    and find in yourself what
    I was unable to find in myself.
**[15:33] ---**
    Do not say I was perfect.
**[15:38] ---**
    First of all…
**[15:48] ---**
    Impossible!
**[15:50] ---**
    I will be a perfect being!
**[15:54] ---**
    This is…not me!
**[15:58] ---**
    How long will you
    imitate Orochimaru?
**[16:03] ---**
    If you want to exit this loop,
    reexamine your mistakes!
**[16:07] ---**
    Shut up!
**[16:09] ---**
    *I know he's going to come at me*
    *with a Fire Style Jutsu.*
**[16:12] ---**
    Water Style…
    Water Dragon…
**[16:13] ---**
    Water Style…
    Water Dragon Missile!
**[16:19] ---**
    *He anticipated that jutsu*
    *with Sharingan!*
**[16:37] ---**
    *How did I get this wrong?*
**[16:40] ---**
    *Where did I…*
    *make a mistake?*
**[16:45] ---**
    *All I ever wanted was someone…*
**[16:48] ---**
    *to appreciate…*
**[16:50] ---**
    *who I was!*
**[16:53] ---**
    *All I wanted was to*
    *be acknowledged!*
**[16:58] ---**
    Where is the mistake in that?!
**[17:04] ---**
    First of all…
**[17:06] ---**
    you had to accept yourself
    as you were.
**[17:10] ---**
    Then you wouldn't have
    had to lie to anyone.
**[17:14] ---**
    To you…or to me.
**[17:17] ---**
    If you lie to yourself,
    how can you have friends?
**[17:20] ---**
    How can you trust or
    be trustworthy?
**[17:23] ---**
    Lies will keep you from
    ever seeing your true self.
**[17:29] ---**
    *If I wasn't trapped here…*
**[17:33] ---**
    *I'd have won this war by now.*
**[17:36] ---**
    I'd be sleeping by now.
**[17:41] ---**
    Damn you, Itachi!
**[17:58] ---**
    It's 9 o'clock already?
**[18:00] ---**
    Something wrong?
**[18:01] ---**
    No…
**[18:03] ---**
    I just wish we could
    wrap this up quickly
**[18:05] ---**
    so I could get a good night's sleep.
**[18:07] ---**
    They never tell us lackeys
    what's going on.
**[18:14] ---**
    That's true.
**[18:16] ---**
    So, what are you gonna do
    when this war is over?
**[18:20] ---**
    Well, I'll start by going home.
**[18:23] ---**
    If the war ends and
**[18:25] ---**
    the Five Great Nations
    continue to be allies…
**[18:28] ---**
    then maybe my little brother who's been
    on a mission for a long time,
**[18:31] ---**
    can finally come home.
**[18:34] ---**
    I envy those who have
    a home to return to…
**[18:39] ---**
    You want to come with me?
**[18:42] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:43] ---**
    My home is an orphanage.
**[18:46] ---**
    And if my kid brother's back,
    he can take a look at your wounds.
**[18:50] ---**
    I appreciate that, Urushi!
**[18:54] ---**
    *I really hope*
    *you come back this time…*
**[19:00] ---**
    *Kabuto.*
**[19:10] ---**
    I'll stop the Reanimation Jutsu now.
**[19:18] ---**
    And…all the reanimated dead
    will fade away.
**[19:23] ---**
    That should end the war.
**[19:27] ---**
    But…
**[19:30] ---**
    you'll be gone too, Brother.
**[19:32] ---**
    I'll have protected my village as
**[19:36] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf
    once again.
**[19:39] ---**
    I have no more regrets.
**[19:42] ---**
    Why?!
**[19:43] ---**
    Why help the very village that
    put you where you are now?
**[19:48] ---**
    You may be able to forgive,
    but I cannot!
**[19:51] ---**
    You have no more regrets?
**[19:53] ---**
    What about what
    you've made me become?!
**[20:05] ---**
    *I leave Sasuke to you.*
**[20:08] ---**
    *I tried to do everything myself…*
    *and I failed.*
**[20:13] ---**
    *This time… I will leave it*
    *to my comrades.*
**[20:19] ---**
    I'm not the one who can
    change you, Sasuke.
**[20:24] ---**
    But I can stop this jutsu.
**[20:30] ---**
    That will fulfill my promise
    to Naruto, at least.
**[20:37] ---**
    I will stop the Reanimation Jutsu!
**[20:39] ---**
    Tell me the signs!
**[20:42] ---**
    *Tsukuyomi!*
**[20:55] ---**
    *I kept my promise.*
**[20:57] ---**
    *I leave the rest to you…Naruto.*
**[22:38] ---**
    I hate the Leaf Village for causing
    you so much pain!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I hate it more than ever!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    It's because I'm your brother that,
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    no matter what you say,
    you're not going to stop me!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Even if you protect the village now,
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    I will still destroy it some day.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "I Will Love You Always"
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Good bye…Big Brother.
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:23] ---**
    They're too strong!
**[00:25] ---**
    How are we supposed to…?
**[00:28] ---**
    You're right. At this rate…
**[00:39] ---**
    Hokage, your fighting
    is getting sloppy!
**[00:45] ---**
    It might not kill you,
    but keep fighting like that and
**[00:47] ---**
    you'll only exhaust yourself.
**[00:48] ---**
    I'm putting my life on the line
    for this battle!
**[00:50] ---**
    There is no other way!
**[00:54] ---**
    Hokage!
**[01:00] ---**
    *No…*
**[01:04] ---**
    *Damn! How could I…*
**[01:07] ---**
    *have fallen prey to*
    *Sharingan Genjutsu?*
**[01:28] ---**
    Release!
**[01:30] ---**
    Thanks, Tsuchikage.
**[01:32] ---**
    Damn that Ohnoki…
**[01:34] ---**
    His wisdom in battle is
    beginning to show…
**[01:38] ---**
    *He stopped Susano'o with*
    *the Weighted Boulder Jutsu…*
**[01:41] ---**
    *and saved the Raikage.*
**[01:44] ---**
    Stand, my fellow Kage!
**[01:46] ---**
    No more weakness!
**[01:47] ---**
    Let us look death in
    the face together!
**[01:53] ---**
    We are the Five Kage!
**[01:55] ---**
    So choose final words that
    will not shame your title!
**[01:59] ---**
    Remember the battle that
    we entrusted to Naruto!
**[02:03] ---**
    He entrusted this battle to us
**[02:05] ---**
    and we swore that we would win,
    no matter what!
**[02:09] ---**
    And there is one more thing…
**[02:11] ---**
    We cannot betray the trust of
    each and every shinobi.
**[02:21] ---**
    We must be worthy
    of the title of Kage!
**[02:33] ---**
    So the problem is…
**[02:34] ---**
    Ohnoki, after all.
**[02:36] ---**
    *I have no choice*
    *but to break his will.*
**[04:10] ---**
    *I Will Love You Always*
    
    
**[04:14] ---**
    More, Princess!
**[04:17] ---**
    You don't have to tell me!
**[04:19] ---**
    There's not much chakra left!
**[04:21] ---**
    We must consider this
    our last stand.
**[04:25] ---**
    Particle Style!
    Boundary Dismantling Jutsu!
**[04:32] ---**
    *Releasing Susano'o kept me*
    *from absorbing the Particle Style…*
**[04:43] ---**
    I told you the only thing that will
    work against me are physical attacks.
**[04:47] ---**
    *You think you've eliminated*
    *the clones,*
**[04:49] ---**
    *and distracted me*
    *with the Particle Style?*
**[04:57] ---**
    It's not just sand!
**[05:04] ---**
    *If you don't like the sand,*
    *just stop absorbing the jutsu!*
**[05:07] ---**
    *But then, the Lightning Water Dragon*
    *will paralyze you.*
**[05:12] ---**
    *And I'll use that moment to*
    *wedge him in with my Particle Style!*
**[05:15] ---**
    *That will give us enough time*
    *to seal him away!*
**[05:19] ---**
    Do you see this?
**[05:20] ---**
    This is the full power
    of the Five Kage!
**[05:23] ---**
    *I see…*
**[05:25] ---**
    *This truly is worthy of the shinobi*
    *who bear the name Kage.*
**[05:30] ---**
    *Then I, Madara Uchiha,*
    *shall also respond with full power!*
**[05:37] ---**
    The Five Kage are nothing
    compared to me.
**[05:47] ---**
    This is…
**[05:48] ---**
    my Perfect Susano'o!
**[05:56] ---**
    It's massive.
**[06:04] ---**
    Is this…
**[06:07] ---**
    the True Susano'o?
**[06:12] ---**
    Not quite yet…
**[06:14] ---**
    Settle down!
**[06:36] ---**
    The big one's chakra
    has settled down…
**[06:41] ---**
    I can't believe the difference
    in power…
**[06:43] ---**
    I can't believe Grandfather
    fought someone like him!
**[06:46] ---**
    I already told you…
**[06:49] ---**
    Hashirama was the only one
    who could stop me.
**[06:52] ---**
    But he's no longer here.
**[06:56] ---**
    Though you could say that
    actually works in your favor.
**[07:02] ---**
    That's because…
**[07:36] ---**
    It's just me…
**[07:39] ---**
    So the maps will only need
    to be redrawn a little.
**[07:44] ---**
    Impossible! He split the mountain!
**[07:48] ---**
    This is…Madara Uchiha…
**[07:52] ---**
    Then why back then…?
**[08:03] ---**
    Why did you hold back against us?
**[08:06] ---**
    What adult goes full force
    when fighting mere children?
**[08:09] ---**
    Besides… Are you finished now?
**[08:42] ---**
    We may be stumbling in the dark,
**[08:46] ---**
    but we're close to the light
    at the end of the tunnel!
**[08:50] ---**
    Here, of all places…
**[08:56] ---**
    This Susano'o is destruction incarnate.
**[09:00] ---**
    A single stroke of the blade
    contains enough power
**[09:02] ---**
    to smash all things in this universe.
**[09:04] ---**
    It rivals even the Tailed Beasts!
**[09:08] ---**
    Take your philosophy, Five Kage,
**[09:10] ---**
    and be crushed and be gone!
**[09:14] ---**
    Ne, Ushi, Saru, Tora, Tatsu, I…
    [Rat, Ox, Monkey, Tiger, Dragon, Boar…]
**[09:28] ---**
    *That's it, huh…*
**[09:31] ---**
    All right… Ne… [Rat]
**[09:35] ---**
    Ushi… [Ox]
**[09:39] ---**
    Saru… [Monkey]
**[09:45] ---**
    I guess…
    it won't matter what I say, will it?
**[09:53] ---**
    When I saw you…
**[09:55] ---**
    I followed you in order
    to confirm
**[09:56] ---**
    whether or not Tobi and Danzo
    spoke the truth.
**[10:01] ---**
    But that wasn't all I confirmed.
**[10:07] ---**
    When I'm with you,
    the past comes flooding back.
**[10:10] ---**
    The feelings I had as a child,
    of adoration for my big brother.
**[10:19] ---**
    That's why…
**[10:21] ---**
    the closer I get to you and
    how we used to be back then,
**[10:26] ---**
    the more I understand you.
**[10:29] ---**
    And the more I hate the Leaf Village
    for causing you so much pain!
**[10:34] ---**
    I hate it more than ever!
**[10:39] ---**
    I know what you want me to do.
**[10:42] ---**
    And because you're my big brother,
    you'll disapprove.
**[10:46] ---**
    It's because I'm your brother that,
    no matter what you say,
**[10:50] ---**
    you're not going to stop me!
**[10:52] ---**
    Even if you protect the village now…
    I will still destroy it someday.
**[10:59] ---**
    Tora… [Tiger]
**[11:03] ---**
    Tatsu… [Dragon]
**[11:07] ---**
    Goodbye.
**[11:09] ---**
    I… [Boar]
**[11:12] ---**
    Reanimation Jutsu… Release!
**[11:18] ---**
    *Big Brother…*
**[12:05] ---**
    Lord Tsuchikage…
**[12:07] ---**
    It's unfortunate…
    But I think this is the end.
**[12:10] ---**
    Silence, Mizukage!
**[12:12] ---**
    I'm not giving up yet!
**[12:24] ---**
    What's going on?
**[12:32] ---**
    Did something happen
    to the Jutsu Caster?
**[12:46] ---**
    There's still time…
**[12:56] ---**
    I feel like my consciousness
    is slowly fading…
**[13:01] ---**
    I need to tell you everything
    before we part.
**[13:08] ---**
    There's no need to lie anymore.
**[13:12] ---**
    The night I left you,
**[13:16] ---**
    I did do everything Danzo
    and Tobi told you.
**[13:23] ---**
    I'll show you…the whole truth.
**[13:37] ---**
    *These are…*
    *Itachi's memories!*
**[13:42] ---**
    It no longer looks like the Uchiha
    coup d'etat can be prevented.
**[13:46] ---**
    And if civil war erupts in the Leaf,
    other nations are certain to invade.
**[13:50] ---**
    Real war will break out.
**[13:52] ---**
    When I tried to stop the coup d'etat
    with the Kotoamatsukami,
**[13:56] ---**
    Danzo stole my right eye.
**[13:59] ---**
    He doesn't trust me.
**[14:02] ---**
    He intends to protect
    the village his way,
**[14:04] ---**
    no matter what it takes
    or how it looks.
**[14:06] ---**
    I suspect he'll come after
    my left eye as well.
**[14:09] ---**
    So I want to give it to you
    before he has a chance.
**[14:13] ---**
    *Shisui…*
**[14:15] ---**
    You're the only person I can count on,
    my best friend.
**[14:18] ---**
    Please protect this village…
    and the honor of the Uchiha name.
**[14:24] ---**
    We cannot allow such a thing!
**[14:27] ---**
    If they are going to start a revolution
    and usurp our power,
**[14:31] ---**
    we have no choice
    but to judge the Uchiha
**[14:33] ---**
    as traitors of the Leaf!
**[14:36] ---**
    Wait, Koharu.
**[14:37] ---**
    Don't rush to such a decision.
**[14:39] ---**
    But Hiruzen, the Uchiha Clan
    will not be dissuaded.
**[14:44] ---**
    We must take measures
    to avoid mayhem.
**[14:52] ---**
    And that includes innocent children.
**[14:56] ---**
    Do not say such things
    before Itachi.
**[14:59] ---**
    Besides, taking on the Uchiha
    will be no easy task.
**[15:04] ---**
    There's got to be some sort
    of strategy we can use!
**[15:07] ---**
    We have no time to waste.
**[15:09] ---**
    We must strike preemptively.
**[15:14] ---**
    If we join forces with
    our respective ANBU Black Ops
**[15:18] ---**
    and launch a surprise attack
    from behind,
**[15:19] ---**
    it will be over in no time.
**[15:22] ---**
    The Uchiha are old
    comrades in arms.
**[15:25] ---**
    I want to settle this
    with words first before force.
**[15:29] ---**
    I will come up with a strategy.
**[15:32] ---**
    Itachi…
**[15:34] ---**
    Buy me some time,
    however little it may be.
**[15:41] ---**
    Despite what Lord Third said,
**[15:43] ---**
    he will move to protect the Leaf
    if push comes to shove.
**[15:46] ---**
    That's the kind of man he is.
**[15:49] ---**
    In which case even Hiruzen,
    as Hokage,
**[15:52] ---**
    will have no choice
    but to take decisive measures.
**[15:56] ---**
    Whether it results in war or not,
    the moment the coup d'etat happens,
**[16:00] ---**
    the Uchiha will lock themselves
    into a fate of annihilation.
**[16:04] ---**
    Including your innocent
    little brother.
**[16:08] ---**
    However, there is a way to
    spare just your little brother
**[16:11] ---**
    prior to the coup d'etat.
**[16:13] ---**
    If things come to pass,
**[16:14] ---**
    your brother will likely come
    to know the truth.
**[16:17] ---**
    And if he witnesses Leaf Shinobi
    slaughter his entire clan,
**[16:22] ---**
    it will give him a vengeful heart
    towards the Leaf.
**[16:25] ---**
    And then unfortunately,
    he will have to die as well.
**[16:31] ---**
    Is that a threat?
**[16:32] ---**
    No, I just want you
    to make a choice.
**[16:39] ---**
    Either align with the Uchiha,
**[16:41] ---**
    launch the coup d'etat,
    and die along with your clan…
**[16:46] ---**
    Or side with the Leaf,
**[16:48] ---**
    save your little brother
    before the coup d'etat
**[16:50] ---**
    and then help us eliminate
    all other Uchiha.
**[16:54] ---**
    No matter what,
**[16:56] ---**
    things must be quelled before
    any mayhem can arise
**[16:59] ---**
    in order to protect the village.
**[17:01] ---**
    And the only shinobi who can be
    entrusted with this mission…
**[17:04] ---**
    is you, a double agent
    for both the Uchiha and the Leaf.
**[17:07] ---**
    There is no one else…Itachi.
**[17:13] ---**
    This will be the most
    painful mission for you.
**[17:17] ---**
    But on the other hand,
**[17:19] ---**
    it will allow your little brother
    to be spared.
**[17:24] ---**
    I know you care about the village
    as much as I…
**[17:27] ---**
    Will you accept this mission?
**[17:45] ---**
    How do you know about me?
**[17:48] ---**
    You slipped through
    extra tight Leaf Security
**[17:51] ---**
    and went to examine
    Nakano Shrine's secret stone tablet.
**[17:55] ---**
    Only the Uchiha know its location.
**[17:59] ---**
    Since then, I've kept an eye
    on your movements,
**[18:01] ---**
    and looked into what kind of character
    you are and what your ideology is.
**[18:06] ---**
    Well then, that saves me time.
**[18:09] ---**
    For you already know
    that I bear hatred
**[18:12] ---**
    towards both the Leaf
    and my own clan…
**[18:17] ---**
    I have terms.
**[18:19] ---**
    I will help you exact revenge
    upon the Uchiha Clan.
**[18:22] ---**
    But you are not to harm
    the village itself.
**[18:25] ---**
    Nor…Sasuke Uchiha.
**[18:31] ---**
    *I regret now,*
**[18:32] ---**
    *not telling you everything*
    *before it had come to this.*
**[18:44] ---**
    I see…
**[18:46] ---**
    So you've aligned with the other side?
**[18:50] ---**
    Father, Mother…
**[18:54] ---**
    I…
**[18:54] ---**
    I know, Itachi.
**[18:57] ---**
    Itachi, just promise me this.
**[19:03] ---**
    Take care of Sasuke.
**[19:11] ---**
    I will.
**[19:14] ---**
    Do not fear.
**[19:16] ---**
    This is the path you have chosen.
**[19:19] ---**
    Compared to you,
    our pain will be over in an instant.
**[19:24] ---**
    Even if our philosophies differ,
    I am proud of you.
**[19:31] ---**
    You are truly a kind child.
**[19:41] ---**
    *There's nothing more to say.*
**[19:48] ---**
    *I have told you the whole truth.*
    *I won't have to ever again…*
**[19:55] ---**
    I always lied to you and
    asked you to forgive me.
**[20:00] ---**
    Deliberately keeping you at
    a distance by my own hand.
**[20:05] ---**
    All because I didn't want you
    to get caught up in any of this.
**[20:08] ---**
    But now, I believe…
**[20:11] ---**
    that perhaps you could
    have changed
**[20:14] ---**
    Father, Mother,
    and the rest of the Uchiha.
**[20:19] ---**
    If I had been open with you
    from the start…
**[20:22] ---**
    and looked you straight in
    the eyes and told you the truth,
**[20:27] ---**
    then I wouldn't have had
    to stand before you,
**[20:29] ---**
    from above, as a failure,
    telling you all of this.
**[20:33] ---**
    So this time, I want to impart
    this truth to you…
**[20:44] ---**
    You don't ever have to forgive me.
**[20:48] ---**
    And no matter what you do
    from here on out, know this…
**[20:55] ---**
    I will love you always.
**[22:38] ---**
    Naruto, the Jinchuriki
    are gonna quit it!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Looks like Itachi did it!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Thanks, Itachi!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Then this means
    the other battles are…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Curse Kabuto, he's failed.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Hey, what are you looking at?
    We're still fighting!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Looks like the Reanimation Jutsu
    has been released.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Reanimation Jutsu: Release!"
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    So what of it?
**[23:02] ---**
    REANIMATION JUTSU: RELEASE!
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Reanimation Jutsu: Release!"*
    
    
    
**[01:42] ---**
    All right! We've cornered him!
**[01:48] ---**
    *Just when I thought*
    *I regained consciousness,*
**[01:50] ---**
    *this happens…*
**[01:53] ---**
    What's that?!
**[02:02] ---**
    *You're strong, after all…*
    *Pakura Sensei.*
**[02:07] ---**
    Maki…?
**[02:10] ---**
    Pakura Sensei?!
**[02:13] ---**
    Let me out!
**[02:15] ---**
    I've had it! I'm completely fed up!
**[02:18] ---**
    I'm gonna explode, hmm!
**[02:21] ---**
    You okay with that, huh?
**[02:23] ---**
    We got you sealed
    with the Lightning Style,
**[02:25] ---**
    especially so you can't explode.
**[02:28] ---**
    So shut your trap! You dud!
**[02:33] ---**
    There are no such things
    as duds in art!
**[02:36] ---**
    Huh?!
**[02:40] ---**
    No way, an explosion?!
**[02:51] ---**
    What is it?!
**[02:53] ---**
    What is this?
**[02:59] ---**
    Dan!
**[03:01] ---**
    Yeah. Looks like someone succeeded.
**[03:18] ---**
    Naruto! The Jinchuriki are
    gonna quit it!
**[03:21] ---**
    Looks like Itachi did it!
**[03:27] ---**
    *Thanks, Itachi!*
**[03:30] ---**
    But this battle ain't going anywhere!
**[03:32] ---**
    No time to waste! Let's go!
**[03:51] ---**
    Tell Ohnoki…
**[03:54] ---**
    He must secure the future of
    the Allied Shinobi Forces…
**[03:56] ---**
    Only then can he come
    and tell me all about it…
**[04:03] ---**
    Just what the hell is going on?
**[04:10] ---**
    I get it…
**[04:11] ---**
    The bookworm's been
    taken down…hmm.
**[04:19] ---**
    It was a dud.
    Don't scare us like that.
**[04:25] ---**
    It wasn't a dud!
**[04:27] ---**
    Art is…
**[04:29] ---**
    indestructible!
**[04:37] ---**
    Scaring us like that…
**[04:42] ---**
    Granny Chiyo!
**[04:52] ---**
    Looks like I'm free
    of the cursed spell.
**[04:57] ---**
    Pakura Sensei!
**[04:59] ---**
    Maki, do not die in vain!
**[05:04] ---**
    Sensei…
**[05:07] ---**
    You all have a future…
**[05:19] ---**
    *Looks like I can finally die…*
**[05:24] ---**
    Granny Chiyo!
**[05:25] ---**
    Kankuro…
**[05:30] ---**
    I entrust you with the techniques
    of the Puppet Master.
**[05:34] ---**
    I accept and will take it over…
    Granny Chiyo.
**[05:38] ---**
    No need to play possum anymore!
**[05:51] ---**
    As expected, I can control
    my body freely now.
**[05:57] ---**
    Choza, please undo the barrier.
**[05:59] ---**
    It's safe now.
**[06:02] ---**
    It seems that way…
**[06:04] ---**
    Everyone, there's no need
    for the barrier.
**[06:07] ---**
    Right!
**[06:12] ---**
    Choza, forgive me.
**[06:15] ---**
    Those signs are for the Ghost
    Transformation Jutsu, aren't they?
**[06:18] ---**
    I understand.
**[06:20] ---**
    Please hurry to
    Lady Tsunade's side!
**[06:24] ---**
    This jutsu has killed so many shinobi…
**[06:27] ---**
    I couldn't have imagined that
    it would come in handy like this!
**[06:32] ---**
    Ghost Transformation Jutsu!
**[06:35] ---**
    Just as I thought!
**[06:37] ---**
    Souls ascending after being released
    from the Reanimation Jutsu
**[06:41] ---**
    can be controlled with this jutsu too.
**[06:44] ---**
    But it doesn't seem like
    you have much time.
**[06:53] ---**
    Please hurry!
**[06:56] ---**
    Yeah…
**[06:57] ---**
    Farewell, Choza!
    Thank you for everything!
**[07:06] ---**
    Amazing…
**[07:07] ---**
    He flew off like a ghost!
**[07:10] ---**
    Just what is the Ghost
    Transformation Jutsu?
**[07:12] ---**
    It allows one to become
    a living ghost
**[07:14] ---**
    that can span long distances
    to kill a foe…
**[07:17] ---**
    Originally, that is.
**[07:22] ---**
    *Tsunade…*
**[07:28] ---**
    *Reform is necessary for*
    *the future of our village.*
**[07:32] ---**
    *In order to keep the lives sacrificed…*
    *to a minimum.*
**[07:36] ---**
    *You're right.*
**[07:38] ---**
    *Help me, Tsunade.*
**[07:42] ---**
    *If I can be of help to you…*
**[07:44] ---**
    *I need you.*
**[07:47] ---**
    *Dan…*
**[07:49] ---**
    *Let's make our dreams come true!*
**[07:53] ---**
    *Yes.*
**[07:55] ---**
    *Our dreams as shinobi.*
**[08:01] ---**
    What's going on?
**[08:04] ---**
    Reanimation chakra is
    fading steadily!
**[08:08] ---**
    We have reports coming in
    from each battlefield.
**[08:12] ---**
    The reanimated are turning
    into souls.
**[08:15] ---**
    Even the sealed ones,
    even ones still fighting!
**[08:19] ---**
    The only way to explain
    the situation is that…
**[08:21] ---**
    the Reanimation has been released…
**[08:26] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[08:27] ---**
    The Reanimation Jutsu
    has been released!
**[08:30] ---**
    All right!
**[08:31] ---**
    Relay this news to every company!
**[08:34] ---**
    Reporting from Headquarters.
**[08:35] ---**
    The Reanimation has been released.
**[08:38] ---**
    I repeat!
**[08:39] ---**
    The Reanimation Jutsu
    has been undone!
**[08:41] ---**
    Amazing! They're all disappearing!
**[08:45] ---**
    But…
**[08:46] ---**
    Which company managed to do this?
**[08:54] ---**
    You don't ever have to forgive me.
**[08:58] ---**
    And no matter what you do
    from here on out…
**[09:05] ---**
    I will love you always.
**[09:45] ---**
    I…
**[10:03] ---**
    Yugito…
**[10:05] ---**
    Yagura…
**[10:07] ---**
    Han…
**[10:09] ---**
    Utakata…
**[10:11] ---**
    Fuu…
**[10:13] ---**
    Old Man Beard!
**[10:17] ---**
    Just leave it to us!
**[10:20] ---**
    They're gone.
**[10:24] ---**
    *Then this means*
    *the other battles are…*
**[10:28] ---**
    *Curse Kabuto, he's failed.*
**[10:33] ---**
    Hey, what are you looking at?!
**[10:36] ---**
    You're fighting me!
**[10:43] ---**
    As well as the Green Beast!
**[10:45] ---**
    Looks like the Reanimation
    has been released.
**[10:49] ---**
    And…
**[10:50] ---**
    what of it?
**[10:53] ---**
    What is…that light?
**[11:00] ---**
    The Susano'o is gone and now…
**[11:03] ---**
    the debris from the Reanimation
    is in a fierce whirlwind.
**[11:07] ---**
    Without a doubt, this means…
**[11:09] ---**
    The Reanimation has been released.
**[11:14] ---**
    What?!
**[11:16] ---**
    We haven't located Kabuto yet.
**[11:18] ---**
    It's too soon!
**[11:20] ---**
    Even if Kabuto was found,
    to be able to stop this jutsu…?
**[11:24] ---**
    Who could have done this?
**[11:26] ---**
    It doesn't matter!
**[11:28] ---**
    Whoever did it is a hero
    who's saved the Shinobi World!
**[11:32] ---**
    The heavens haven't forsaken us yet!
**[11:36] ---**
    It appears you have able shinobi
    on your side too.
**[11:40] ---**
    It can't be helped…
**[11:43] ---**
    He was prepared for this?
**[11:44] ---**
    Not yet!
**[11:47] ---**
    He's planning a final strike
    before he disappears!
**[11:50] ---**
    Watch out!
**[11:53] ---**
    Fire Style: Dragon Flame Caterwaul!
**[12:02] ---**
    *Water Style…*
**[12:04] ---**
    *No… It won't make it in time!*
**[12:10] ---**
    Lady Hokage!
**[12:12] ---**
    I'm all right!
**[12:16] ---**
    *The 100 Healings Jutsu has worn off!*
**[12:23] ---**
    *But…*
**[12:25] ---**
    *we've won…*
**[12:35] ---**
    Damn!
**[12:48] ---**
    What was that?!
**[12:49] ---**
    I thought she completely
    lost consciousness!
**[12:52] ---**
    *I couldn't move anymore…*
    *So how?*
**[12:56] ---**
    *It's been a long time…Tsunade.*
**[13:00] ---**
    *It's me, Dan.*
**[13:05] ---**
    *Dan… How are you here?!*
**[13:07] ---**
    *The Reanimation has*
    *been undone.*
**[13:10] ---**
    *And I flew over here with*
    *my Ghost Transformation Jutsu.*
**[13:14] ---**
    *But that was a close one!*
**[13:17] ---**
    *Dan…*
**[13:19] ---**
    *You haven't changed at all…Tsunade.*
**[13:22] ---**
    *Dan…*
**[13:23] ---**
    *I have always honored your…*
**[13:26] ---**
    *There's no time to wallow*
    *in sentimentalities.*
**[13:30] ---**
    *I have to go.*
**[13:32] ---**
    *But…*
**[13:35] ---**
    *Fighting and losing*
    *precious people…*
**[13:38] ---**
    *is not all there is to*
    *being a shinobi.*
**[13:40] ---**
    *I love this village and my comrades.*
**[13:44] ---**
    *So I want to protect them.*
**[13:46] ---**
    *A person that protects everyone…*
**[13:48] ---**
    *Becoming the Hokage*
    *is my dream.*
**[13:54] ---**
    *Dan!*
**[13:55] ---**
    *I ran from my memories*
    *of you for a long time,*
**[13:58] ---**
    *after your death.*
**[13:59] ---**
    *But I've changed!*
**[14:01] ---**
    *And now…*
**[14:02] ---**
    *I can confirm with you*
    *what all your regrets*
**[14:05] ---**
    *and the things you wanted*
    *to do were!*
**[14:10] ---**
    *I've become the Hokage!*
**[14:13] ---**
    *But…*
**[14:14] ---**
    *Thank you, Tsunade.*
**[14:17] ---**
    *You are fulfilling my dreams*
    *for me just fine.*
**[14:23] ---**
    *I really caused you a lot of pain.*
**[14:27] ---**
    *I'm sorry.*
**[14:30] ---**
    *I'll be waiting for you on the other side.*
**[14:32] ---**
    *But don't come too quickly, okay?*
**[14:36] ---**
    *For you yourself are my dream.*
**[14:52] ---**
    *I was able to protect you at the end…*
**[14:54] ---**
    *It appears a little bit of good did come*
    *from being reanimated.*
**[15:09] ---**
    Hokage, are you all right?!
**[15:11] ---**
    Your vitality has returned.
**[15:13] ---**
    And you received chakra?
**[15:16] ---**
    I got to see an old friend
    for just a little while…
**[15:20] ---**
    Well, you'll meet again right away.
**[15:23] ---**
    What? What's going on anyway?
**[15:27] ---**
    Madara's chakra which had begun
**[15:30] ---**
    to separate from his body
    is now clinging firmly to it.
**[15:33] ---**
    Is he back to his original state?
**[15:35] ---**
    Why? Why won't he disappear?!
**[15:37] ---**
    I thought the Reanimation
    was undone!
**[15:42] ---**
    Reanimation is a jutsu that
    summons the dead.
**[15:46] ---**
    However, there is one risk…
**[15:49] ---**
    Risk?
**[15:51] ---**
    As long as one knows the signs,
**[15:53] ---**
    the reanimated dead can
    rescind the Reanimation Contract
**[15:58] ---**
    from their end.
**[16:02] ---**
    Rescind the contract?!
**[16:05] ---**
    When that happens,
**[16:07] ---**
    you end up with
    the biggest problem of all.
**[16:09] ---**
    An immortal body with infinite chakra…
    that can move without control.
**[16:16] ---**
    Impossible!
**[16:20] ---**
    Tell the jutsu caster…
**[16:22] ---**
    Never use a Forbidden Jutsu carelessly.
**[16:25] ---**
    Reanimation, release!
**[16:46] ---**
    *What is a clan?*
**[16:55] ---**
    *What is a village?*
**[16:59] ---**
    *What is…a shinobi?*
**[17:17] ---**
    What am I?
**[17:28] ---**
    Found you!
**[17:33] ---**
    You guys…?
**[17:37] ---**
    What're you doing here?
**[17:40] ---**
    Stopping the Reanimation.
**[17:43] ---**
    Huh?
**[17:44] ---**
    You've always been like that.
**[17:47] ---**
    You never explain things to people.
**[17:51] ---**
    Well, it's been awhile
    since we saw you,
**[17:53] ---**
    so you'd better tell us!
**[17:59] ---**
    What?
**[18:03] ---**
    It's Kabuto…
**[18:04] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:06] ---**
    Kabuto was using the Reanimation.
**[18:16] ---**
    How… How can that be…?
**[18:21] ---**
    Your ridiculously juvenile jutsu
    can't hold me.
**[18:25] ---**
    You should know that
    after fighting me, right?
**[18:31] ---**
    Now then…
**[18:32] ---**
    The Perfect Susano'o…
**[18:34] ---**
    Everyone who sees it dies…
    or so they say.
**[18:39] ---**
    I'm almost embarrassed
    to have to do this again.
**[18:43] ---**
    I already used it once…
**[18:48] ---**
    My interest has waned,
    thanks to the interference.
**[18:51] ---**
    Perhaps I ought to go
    retrieve Nine Tails instead.
**[18:55] ---**
    *What?*
**[18:57] ---**
    *Let us deal with this Madara!*
**[19:00] ---**
    *I swear we shall finish him off!*
**[19:02] ---**
    *So relax and leave him to us!*
**[19:11] ---**
    Lord Tsuchikage!
**[19:13] ---**
    We cannot stop him.
**[19:16] ---**
    We still have to fight!
**[19:18] ---**
    We must stop him here!
**[19:23] ---**
    So sad…
**[19:28] ---**
    Lightning Cable!
**[19:30] ---**
    Guy!
**[19:31] ---**
    Right!
**[19:32] ---**
    Take this! Pinky Attack!
**[19:52] ---**
    Heh! You don't look too happy!
**[19:56] ---**
    What's that supposed to mean?
**[19:58] ---**
    Since you're hiding your face,
    I can only guess.
**[20:03] ---**
    If you feel insulted,
    take off that mask
**[20:05] ---**
    and show us how composed you are!
**[20:07] ---**
    Stupid!
**[20:12] ---**
    Nice going, Naruto!
**[20:15] ---**
    I told him not to rile up his opponent.
**[20:22] ---**
    Well… It seems I have
    no choice but to use it.
**[20:26] ---**
    What is that?!
**[20:27] ---**
    A giant gourd and a bottle…
**[20:32] ---**
    Frankly, I wanted to revive this
    when the conditions were perfect.
**[20:44] ---**
    It's only a fragment,
    but it's not lacking in power.
**[20:59] ---**
    It's taking too long.
**[21:02] ---**
    It's time!
**[22:37] ---**
    We found something incredible
    in one of the hideouts.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Take a look at this!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    This is it! Someone
    who is all-knowing.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I have to meet up with someone.
    I'm leaving.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Huh? Who?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Orochimaru.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    What are you talking about?
    You killed Orochimaru!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Orochimaru's Return"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Don't underestimate Orochimaru.
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    OROCHIMARU'S RETURN
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Orochimaru's Return*
    
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    This is Kabuto?
**[01:40] ---**
    He's kind of gross, huh?
**[01:42] ---**
    This one coming out of
    his gut looks like a huge—
**[01:45] ---**
    Just leave him be.
**[01:52] ---**
    She's alive.
**[01:57] ---**
    What do you want with me
    at this point?
**[02:00] ---**
    Why'd you go out of your way
    to look for me?
**[02:02] ---**
    Oh yeah! That's right. See…
**[02:07] ---**
    We found something incredible
    in one of the hideouts.
**[02:10] ---**
    Now let's see…
**[02:11] ---**
    Earlier, you said that you and Itachi
    stopped the Reanimation, right?
**[02:17] ---**
    But I don't think it worked
    on the reanimated Madara.
**[02:24] ---**
    *No matter what darkness or*
    *contradictions lie within the village,*
**[02:28] ---**
    *I am still Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf!*
**[02:31] ---**
    *You're the only person*
    *I can count on, my best friend.*
**[02:34] ---**
    *Please protect this village…*
    *and the honor of the Uchiha name.*
**[02:39] ---**
    *I told you,*
    *there's something I must do.*
**[02:44] ---**
    I see.
**[02:46] ---**
    So it hasn't been stopped.
**[02:48] ---**
    I'm talking to Sasuke!
    Don't interrupt me.
**[02:52] ---**
    Anyway, never mind that.
**[02:55] ---**
    Look!
**[02:57] ---**
    Look, look!
**[03:05] ---**
    See! Amazing, right?!
**[03:07] ---**
    With this, we Taka can rule
    the shinobi world!
**[03:11] ---**
    This is it…
**[03:16] ---**
    The human who's all-knowing…
**[03:21] ---**
    I have to meet up with someone.
**[03:26] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[03:27] ---**
    Huh? Who?
**[03:29] ---**
    Orochimaru.
**[03:31] ---**
    Huh?!
**[03:32] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[03:34] ---**
    You killed Orochimaru!
**[03:40] ---**
    I thought you would use this to…
**[03:43] ---**
    Are you really surprised someone as
    tenacious as Orochimaru
**[03:46] ---**
    might not be killed so easily?
**[03:51] ---**
    And even if I do find him vile…
**[03:54] ---**
    I need him to do something for me.
**[04:00] ---**
    The clan…
**[04:02] ---**
    The village…
**[04:05] ---**
    It's time to see the all-knowing.
**[04:08] ---**
    What do you mean,
    “see” Orochimaru?
**[04:11] ---**
    Who is this all-knowing person?
**[04:15] ---**
    You don't need to know.
**[04:21] ---**
    What? I don't get it.
**[04:24] ---**
    In any case,
**[04:26] ---**
    Orochimaru must never be resurrected!
**[04:29] ---**
    You probably want to ask
    Orochimaru for help
**[04:31] ---**
    in using the power of the scroll, right?
**[04:34] ---**
    Just give it time and
    you'll figure it out.
**[04:38] ---**
    That's why we looked for you and…
**[04:42] ---**
    There are still things only
    Orochimaru can do.
**[04:45] ---**
    Sasuke, tell me…
**[04:47] ---**
    You were Orochimaru's
    favorite pupil, right?
**[04:52] ---**
    So why can't you…?
**[04:53] ---**
    Suigetsu!
**[04:55] ---**
    Listen.
**[04:57] ---**
    Huh? What?
**[04:59] ---**
    Don't underestimate Orochimaru.
**[05:04] ---**
    Idiot!
**[05:05] ---**
    I don't underestimate him!
**[05:07] ---**
    It's the exact opposite!
**[05:09] ---**
    You were able to bring
    down Orochimaru
**[05:11] ---**
    only because both his arms
**[05:13] ---**
    were useless from
    the Reaper Death Seal, that's all.
**[05:16] ---**
    You're the one
    who's underestimating him!
**[05:19] ---**
    Even if he is revived,
    his arms will probably still be useless.
**[05:23] ---**
    But he'll still be dangerous.
**[05:25] ---**
    He's going to come after
    your body again!
**[05:28] ---**
    If he finds out about this war,
    he's going to want to be a part of it.
**[05:31] ---**
    He wants to destroy the Leaf too!
**[05:35] ---**
    And that means that Team Taka
    will get mixed up in this war!
**[05:40] ---**
    Are you okay with that?
**[05:43] ---**
    We succeeded in beating
    our superiors.
**[05:46] ---**
    It's our time now!
**[05:50] ---**
    Who'd want to see Orochimaru now?
**[05:53] ---**
    Hasn't he caused us
    enough trouble?
**[05:55] ---**
    Shut up, Suigetsu.
**[05:59] ---**
    Cut out and bring me
    a piece of Kabuto's flesh.
**[06:04] ---**
    Huh?
**[06:06] ---**
    You don't listen to me,
    but you expect me to listen to you?
**[06:10] ---**
    I'll do it.
**[06:13] ---**
    It's always like this…
**[06:16] ---**
    Jugo, are you okay with this?
**[06:19] ---**
    Orochimaru's going to
    be resurrected, you know…
**[06:21] ---**
    I don't care.
**[06:23] ---**
    Sasuke's will is Kimimaro's will.
**[06:26] ---**
    I will abide by it.
**[06:34] ---**
    You're just the same.
**[06:36] ---**
    What is going on with all of this?
**[06:39] ---**
    In my village,
    we call it Sage Transformation.
**[06:44] ---**
    My transformation originally
    was the same thing.
**[06:46] ---**
    But in all of my clones, it's called
    the Curse Mark Transformation.
**[07:10] ---**
    *I'm going to seal your Curse Mark.*
**[07:13] ---**
    *Curse Sealing!*
**[07:18] ---**
    *So the reverse of it is:*
    *Curse Unsealing!*
**[07:47] ---**
    Who could have imagined…
**[07:49] ---**
    that it would be you who
    would facilitate my return!
**[08:09] ---**
    H-Hello there! Long time no see.
**[08:26] ---**
    Orochimaru, there's something
    I want you to do for me.
**[08:30] ---**
    Don't bother explaining.
**[08:35] ---**
    I've been watching from
    inside Anko this whole time.
**[08:38] ---**
    I secured My Sage Jutsu Chakra
    into those Curse Marks.
**[08:42] ---**
    They are like pieces of
    my consciousness.
**[08:45] ---**
    Then you know about the war too?
**[08:48] ---**
    Of course.
**[08:51] ---**
    I just have one thing to say
    about that, Suigetsu.
**[08:55] ---**
    Huh?
**[08:56] ---**
    I have absolutely no interest
    in this war.
**[09:00] ---**
    Huh?!
**[09:02] ---**
    It's someone else's war.
**[09:06] ---**
    The only thing I'm interested
    in right now…
**[09:09] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[09:11] ---**
    is your young body!
**[09:16] ---**
    *I told you!*
**[09:18] ---**
    Having said that, I don't currently
    have the power to steal it.
**[09:23] ---**
    *I wouldn't be so sure…*
**[09:29] ---**
    What is your intent
    in meeting with them?
**[09:32] ---**
    There's too much that I don't know.
**[09:36] ---**
    So I plan to ask them everything.
**[09:38] ---**
    Everything?
**[09:40] ---**
    There's no need to know it all.
**[09:42] ---**
    You're still a child.
**[09:45] ---**
    You're wrong.
**[09:47] ---**
    *I treated you like a child…*
**[09:50] ---**
    *I only tried to protect you.*
    *I didn't trust your strength.*
**[09:56] ---**
    *But now, I believe…*
**[09:59] ---**
    *that perhaps you could have*
    *changed Father, Mother,*
**[10:04] ---**
    *and the rest of the Uchiha.*
**[10:08] ---**
    *If I had been open*
    *with you from the start…*
**[10:11] ---**
    *and looked you straight in the eyes*
    *and told you the truth.*
**[10:15] ---**
    I'm not a child anymore.
**[10:18] ---**
    I can't stay a child.
**[10:22] ---**
    *And no matter what you do*
    *from here on out…*
**[10:27] ---**
    I want to know what started it all.
**[10:30] ---**
    What I'm supposed to be,
    what I'm supposed to do.
**[10:35] ---**
    Are you questioning
    your vengeance?
**[10:37] ---**
    No…
**[10:39] ---**
    Not my quest for
    vengeance itself.
**[10:43] ---**
    Reuniting with Itachi
    made my hatred
**[10:44] ---**
    towards the Hidden Leaf
    grow even stronger.
**[10:49] ---**
    It's just…
**[10:51] ---**
    I want to understand
    how even in death,
**[10:54] ---**
    Itachi could still consider
    himself a Leaf Shinobi,
**[10:56] ---**
    and care about and
    try to protect the village
**[10:58] ---**
    that dishonored his name.
**[11:01] ---**
    Who was Itachi? What is a clan?
    What is a village?
**[11:05] ---**
    And so…
**[11:07] ---**
    I want to know everything,
    so I can finally have the answer.
**[11:11] ---**
    I need to see with my own eyes and
**[11:12] ---**
    decide with my own mind
    what I must do.
**[11:18] ---**
    *He's no longer the Sasuke*
    *who was manipulated by Itachi…*
**[11:23] ---**
    *or me…or Tobi.*
**[11:34] ---**
    *What a strange sensation.*
**[11:38] ---**
    He's going to absorb all of
    Kabuto's power, and then kill him!
**[11:41] ---**
    You better stay alert.
**[11:42] ---**
    He might try and catch you
    off guard too!
**[11:45] ---**
    The current you…isn't half bad.
**[12:04] ---**
    Didn't I tell you?
    He did absorb his power!
**[12:06] ---**
    No, you're wrong.
**[12:08] ---**
    He undid the Sage Transformation.
**[12:10] ---**
    He's taken back his own chakra
    that was inside Kabuto.
**[12:13] ---**
    He didn't touch Kabuto's chakra.
**[12:16] ---**
    Fine, I'll help you.
**[12:20] ---**
    Come along.
**[12:21] ---**
    Where are we going?
**[12:24] ---**
    Someplace you're very familiar with.
**[12:30] ---**
    Let's be on our way.
**[12:56] ---**
    The statue's been acting weird
    since it swallowed something earlier.
**[13:04] ---**
    That was…
**[13:06] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[13:08] ---**
    *I would have preferred*
    *resurrecting it*
**[13:11] ---**
    *in a completed state but…*
**[13:18] ---**
    Watch closely and feel it
    through your skin…
**[13:25] ---**
    The return of Ten Tails!
**[13:28] ---**
    And the beginning of the end!
**[13:33] ---**
    So that's it!
**[13:34] ---**
    That statue was
    the Ten Tails' actual body!
**[13:38] ---**
    Huh?! What's Ten Tails?!
**[13:41] ---**
    But what's going on?
**[13:43] ---**
    When he declared war at
    the Five Kage Summit…
**[13:47] ---**
    The purpose of this war
    was to collect
**[13:50] ---**
    all nine Tailed Beasts' chakra
    in order to revive Ten Tails.
**[13:54] ---**
    He doesn't possess Eight Tails
    or Nine Tails yet…
**[13:57] ---**
    Is he bluffing?
**[13:59] ---**
    *It's too risky to get up close.*
**[14:02] ---**
    Oh…
**[14:05] ---**
    *Only a fragment,*
    *but it is not lacking in power.*
**[14:09] ---**
    Have we given him one tentacle
    arm's worth of chakra?
**[14:14] ---**
    We're always dropping rhymes
**[14:17] ---**
    But maybe we messed up big time…
**[14:18] ---**
    Yay!
**[14:20] ---**
    The chakra from a tentacle
    was taken, just a little
**[14:25] ---**
    I may not look it
    I admit I'm flustered a bit
**[14:28] ---**
    He took the chakra from one
    of Eight Tails' tentacle arms…
**[14:31] ---**
    Does that mean only a portion
    of a Tailed Beast is sufficient?
**[14:34] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[14:36] ---**
    *You felt it too, didn't you?*
**[14:38] ---**
    *That was my chakra in*
    *that bottle and gourd.*
**[14:43] ---**
    Yup…
**[14:49] ---**
    *Let me take over, Naruto.*
**[14:51] ---**
    *I'll explain.*
**[14:53] ---**
    *About Ten Tails too.*
    *You listen from in here.*
**[14:58] ---**
    You know about Ten Tails, Kurama?
**[15:00] ---**
    *Yeah, of course.*
**[15:05] ---**
    *Listen up, everyone!*
**[15:07] ---**
    Hmm?
**[15:08] ---**
    That voice!
**[15:09] ---**
    Naruto switched places
    with Nine Tails, pow!
**[15:12] ---**
    He'll explain everything to us…
**[15:15] ---**
    Nine Tails and Naruto
    are tight now!
**[15:19] ---**
    *If even just a portion of*
    *the Tailed Beast is sufficient…*
**[15:22] ---**
    *Then that statue already has a piece*
**[15:24] ---**
    *of Eight Tails' and*
    *my chakra inside it.*
**[15:27] ---**
    The Nine Tails too?!
**[15:29] ---**
    *The bottle and gourd that guy*
    *summoned and fed*
**[15:32] ---**
    *to the statue just now*
**[15:33] ---**
    *were two of Old Man*
    *Six Paths' treasured tools.*
**[15:37] ---**
    *They both possess powerful*
    *Sealing Jutsu*
**[15:39] ---**
    *that can seal away anything*
    *and everything.*
**[15:41] ---**
    *Once you get put inside either*
    *one of them,*
**[15:42] ---**
    *you can't get out,*
    *no matter what.*
**[15:44] ---**
    *So…*
**[15:47] ---**
    *Sealed inside the bottle*
    *was a guy named Kinkaku.*
**[15:49] ---**
    *And Ginkaku was sealed*
    *inside the gourd.*
**[15:55] ---**
    *I suspect they were reanimated*
    *using the Reanimation Jutsu,*
**[15:57] ---**
    *used in the war and*
    *then sealed away.*
**[16:02] ---**
    Kinkaku and Ginkaku,
    and the Sage of the Six Paths…
**[16:05] ---**
    They're all legendary names…
**[16:08] ---**
    But what's the connection
    with Nine Tails' chakra?
**[16:12] ---**
    *There was a time when*
    *the brothers challenged me to a battle.*
**[16:18] ---**
    *Naturally, I devoured them.*
**[16:21] ---**
    *However…*
**[16:23] ---**
    *They survived and fed on me*
    *from the inside*
**[16:26] ---**
    *and absorbed my chakra.*
**[16:30] ---**
    So Kinkaku and Ginkaku
    had some of your chakra.
**[16:36] ---**
    And the masked guy took them
    as insurance,
**[16:39] ---**
    for the revival of the Ten Tails…
**[16:42] ---**
    from Darui's First Company.
**[16:44] ---**
    That's consistent with
    the report we got from HQ.
**[16:49] ---**
    *But given that they're just fragments*
    *of Eight Tails' and my chakra,*
**[16:53] ---**
    *who knows what form or shape*
    *the revived Ten Tails will take.*
**[16:57] ---**
    We must act before Ten Tails
    fully comes back to life.
**[17:02] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[17:04] ---**
    You speak your mind
    way too easily.
**[17:08] ---**
    You're a man for whom
    a life full of regrets is fitting!
**[17:15] ---**
    Just…who the hell are you anyway?
**[17:18] ---**
    What's the point in telling someone
    who can't remember faces?
**[17:25] ---**
    *Kakashi, like you said,*
    *if we're going to make a move,*
**[17:28] ---**
    *now's the chance, before*
    *the Ten Tails is revived fully.*
**[17:32] ---**
    *Old Man Six Paths used to say*
    *that Ten Tails' full revival*
**[17:35] ---**
    *would signify the end of the world.*
**[17:40] ---**
    Is the Ten Tails really that terrible?
**[17:42] ---**
    I get that he's got Ten Tails,
    but just how powerful is he?
**[17:50] ---**
    *He's the aggregate of the chakra*
    *of all the Tailed Beasts,*
**[17:52] ---**
    *One Tail through me.*
**[17:54] ---**
    *He was the beginning of chakra*
    *and a creator-god of many nations.*
**[18:00] ---**
    *Amenohitotsunokami…*
    *Datara… Deidarabotchi…*
**[18:04] ---**
    *He has many names.*
**[18:07] ---**
    *He drank oceans,*
    *split open the earth,*
**[18:09] ---**
    *and hoisted up mountains…*
**[18:10] ---**
    *He is the progenitor who is said*
    *to have created this very land.*
**[18:16] ---**
    *Simply put, he has the total power*
    *of all nine Tailed Beasts.*
**[18:22] ---**
    *Honestly, I couldn't take him on*
    *by myself and hope to win.*
**[18:29] ---**
    *But if he only has a piece*
    *of Eight Tails and me,*
**[18:32] ---**
    *who has the most chakra*
    *out of the nine…*
**[18:35] ---**
    *it might be worth a try.*
**[18:39] ---**
    You're all mistaken.
**[18:43] ---**
    For me, the revival of Ten Tails
    doesn't need to be complete.
**[18:51] ---**
    My end goal is a Super Genjutsu…
**[18:53] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[18:57] ---**
    I will put every human on
    this planet under a single genjutsu…
**[19:01] ---**
    A single world that belongs
    to nobody.
**[19:04] ---**
    One perfect world
    without war or ill feelings.
**[19:10] ---**
    Only within a single
    collective consciousness…
**[19:12] ---**
    where the individual has been
    cast aside, can truth be found!
**[19:17] ---**
    The world no longer needs hope,
    a future or famous heroes.
**[19:23] ---**
    Even if incomplete,
    once Ten Tails is revived,
**[19:26] ---**
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi Jutsu
    can be achieved.
**[19:29] ---**
    Then reality will come to an end…
**[19:31] ---**
    And all that will exist will be
    a single unending dream…
**[19:36] ---**
    that will last for all eternity!
**[19:40] ---**
    *Kurama, switch back!*
**[19:45] ---**
    I had Dad, Mom, and Pervy Sage.
**[19:52] ---**
    Kids love looking up to their hero.
**[19:55] ---**
    That's why I can keep running
    forward without hesitation.
**[19:59] ---**
    I will become
    the greatest Hokage of them all!
**[20:06] ---**
    That's my dream, you idiot!
**[20:12] ---**
    Even if you don't want
    your youth to end,
**[20:15] ---**
    dreams must come to
    an end at some point!
**[20:18] ---**
    Yeah… Dreams must be fulfilled.
**[20:22] ---**
    Dreams, dreams,
    lots o' dreams abound
**[20:24] ---**
    I dream of grown women's boobs…
    So round!
**[20:27] ---**
    When dreams are fulfilled,
    that's where truth is found!
**[20:32] ---**
    *You've got guts, Bee…*
**[20:34] ---**
    *Telling us about your preferences*
    *at a time like this…*
**[20:40] ---**
    Individuality makes you
    lose sight of the truth.
**[20:44] ---**
    My words as a nobody…
**[20:46] ---**
    are words guided by
    the truth of the world.
**[22:37] ---**
    Your window of opportunity is the instant
    he tries to suck you inside himself.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    That's when he'll be solid.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    If you try to attack him normally,
    you'll just pass right through him.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Go for a counterattack!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Create an opening through
    continuous close combat!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Avoid using big moves!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I know!
    That's why I created a clone!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**

**[00:40] ---**
    I had Dad, Mom, and Pervy Sage.
**[00:54] ---**
    Kids love looking up to their hero.
**[01:01] ---**
    That's why I can keep running
    forward without hesitation.
**[01:08] ---**
    I will become the greatest Hokage
    of them all!
**[01:14] ---**
    That's my dream!
**[01:30] ---**
    I guess cracking that mask of yours
    will have to come first.
**[01:36] ---**
    You will not touch the statue!
**[03:38] ---**
    *The Secret of*
    *the Transportation Technique*
    
    
**[03:56] ---**
    Naruto! You know about
    his abilities, right?
**[03:59] ---**
    Your window of opportunity
    is the instant
**[04:00] ---**
    he tries to suck you inside himself.
**[04:01] ---**
    That's when he's solid.
**[04:04] ---**
    If you attack him normally,
    you'll just pass right through him.
**[04:07] ---**
    So it's like you're aiming
    for a counterattack.
**[04:09] ---**
    Diversionary tactics are a must.
**[04:11] ---**
    Create an opening through
    continuous close combat!
**[04:13] ---**
    Avoid using big moves!
**[04:15] ---**
    I know!
    That's why I made a clone!
**[04:19] ---**
    Bee! Please raise me up high!
**[04:24] ---**
    *I'm good to go.*
**[04:26] ---**
    *We should avoid attacks*
    *that touch him directly.*
**[04:29] ---**
    *Up you go!*
**[04:37] ---**
    *Super Mini Tailed Beast Bomb!*
**[04:39] ---**
    *Mangekyo Sharingan!*
**[04:41] ---**
    *Twin Fangs!*
**[04:53] ---**
    *This one!*
**[04:56] ---**
    *I guess not.*
    *Then it must be…*
**[05:22] ---**
    *Nice timing!*
**[05:40] ---**
    I'll deal with you…
**[05:44] ---**
    first!
**[06:12] ---**
    *That's so cool,*
    *Bushier Brow Sensei!*
**[06:15] ---**
    *Okay! I've infused more*
    *than enough chakra!*
**[06:19] ---**
    *Sorry, but…*
**[06:24] ---**
    *I'm going for the statue!*
**[06:26] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[06:28] ---**
    *If I gouge out its head…*
**[06:30] ---**
    *it shouldn't be able to survive,*
    *statue or not!
**[06:43] ---**
    So naïve.
**[06:50] ---**
    *What happened?*
**[06:53] ---**
    *Don't tell me…*
**[07:04] ---**
    He vanished?
**[07:17] ---**
    Naruto!
**[07:20] ---**
    *These boulders are in the way!*
    *Damn it!*
**[07:22] ---**
    Bee!
**[07:23] ---**
    *I've got it!*
**[07:38] ---**
    *Fly!*
**[07:40] ---**
    *He cut through that boulder*
    *with his Lightning Blade.*
**[07:42] ---**
    *Nice, Kakashi!*
**[07:45] ---**
    *I'm not going to make it in time!*
**[07:59] ---**
    Naruto! Just keep going!
**[08:01] ---**
    I'll take care of the kunai!
**[08:09] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[08:15] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[08:22] ---**
    He's really strong.
    I can't get my attacks to hit him.
**[08:24] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[08:26] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:27] ---**
    But if even that attack is no good…
**[08:31] ---**
    What can we do?!
**[08:55] ---**
    What's happening all of
    a sudden?
**[09:00] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi…
    Did you see that?
**[09:02] ---**
    – Yeah.
    – Huh?
**[09:04] ---**
    There's a crack in his mask.
**[09:07] ---**
    Huh? Where, where?!
**[09:13] ---**
    You're right… On the left side!
**[09:16] ---**
    Looks like Naruto's earlier attack
    grazed him
**[09:18] ---**
    before it passed through!
**[09:20] ---**
    Nice going, Naruto!
    Let's keep it up just like that!
**[09:23] ---**
    All right! Now I feel like
    we have a chance!
**[09:27] ---**
    To be honest, it didn't look to me
    like Naruto's attack landed.
**[09:33] ---**
    You're doing it again…
**[09:34] ---**
    You always say things like that!
**[09:36] ---**
    Are you saying
    it was something else?
**[09:38] ---**
    What's going on?
**[09:41] ---**
    *From the looks of it,*
**[09:43] ---**
    *that crack isn't from*
    *Naruto's punch.*
**[09:46] ---**
    *It looks like it was cut*
    *with something sharp…*
**[09:51] ---**
    *Wait a minute!*
**[09:56] ---**
    You're wide open!
**[09:59] ---**
    Don't mock me!
**[10:01] ---**
    *Uchiha Flame Formation!*
**[10:05] ---**
    Hot! Hot! Hot!
**[10:08] ---**
    Whoa!
**[10:11] ---**
    Are you all right,
    Octopops and Eight-o?!
**[10:15] ---**
    Do I look all right?
**[10:17] ---**
    Now that he's erected a barrier,
**[10:19] ---**
    we have no choice but
    to tackle the masked guy first.
**[10:23] ---**
    That's been my plan since
    the beginning, y'know!
**[10:25] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:29] ---**
    *Could it be…? No…*
    *That's impossible…*
**[10:35] ---**
    *But…*
**[10:37] ---**
    *I'd never heard that the Kamui*
    *could be stopped!*
**[10:47] ---**
    *But if the crack in his mask*
**[10:50] ---**
    *was caused by the kunai*
    *I used my Kamui on…*
**[10:56] ---**
    *That means his ninjutsu is…*
**[11:01] ---**
    *It's no use just thinking about it.*
**[11:05] ---**
    *It's an implausible theory,*
    *but it's not impossible, either…*
**[11:10] ---**
    Guy, Naruto, Bee…
**[11:13] ---**
    – Yeah?
    – Hmm?
**[11:14] ---**
    There's something I want to test.
**[11:17] ---**
    Help me out.
**[11:35] ---**
    Let's do it!
**[11:36] ---**
    Okay!
**[11:41] ---**
    Yo!
**[11:55] ---**
    Impressive destructive power.
**[11:59] ---**
    How's that?!
**[12:00] ---**
    You don't have any time
    to suck me in, do you?!
**[12:07] ---**
    You underestimate
    the Sharingan too much.
**[12:09] ---**
    I can read your movements.
**[12:12] ---**
    I'll keep these.
**[12:14] ---**
    *He materializes while*
    *he absorbs things.*
**[12:17] ---**
    *Now!*
**[12:18] ---**
    *Rasengan!*
**[12:20] ---**
    Don't you understand
    that it's futile?
**[12:53] ---**
    It's just like you said, Kakashi Sensei!
**[12:55] ---**
    I don't really understand why,
**[12:56] ---**
    but I finally landed
    an attack on him!
**[12:59] ---**
    I see… Naruto didn't undo
    his Rasengan…
**[13:05] ---**
    Kakashi… You used the Kamui
    to send the Rasengan away.
**[13:12] ---**
    I knew it…
**[13:14] ---**
    I thought he had
    two different jutsu,
**[13:15] ---**
    one that lets him slip
    through things and
**[13:17] ---**
    one to suck things in
    or take them out.
**[13:19] ---**
    But that's not the case.
**[13:19] ---**
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
**[13:21] ---**
    It's all one single jutsu!
**[13:28] ---**
    It's one jutsu?
**[13:30] ---**
    Yeah.
**[13:32] ---**
    Well, no one's better at jutsu analysis
    and breakdown than you.
**[13:36] ---**
    Can you explain his jutsu
    to us in simpler terms?
**[13:39] ---**
    Knowing what it is might change
    how we approach the battle.
**[13:44] ---**
    The way his jutsu works
    is really simple…
**[13:47] ---**
    You see, the jutsu he uses
    to absorb things,
**[13:51] ---**
    and the one he uses
    to slip through objects
**[13:53] ---**
    is the Transportation Technique.
**[13:56] ---**
    What do you mean?
    How can you tell?
**[14:00] ---**
    Well…
**[14:02] ---**
    Let me explain it
    in order.
**[14:04] ---**
    First, the crack in his mask.
**[14:08] ---**
    My kunai made that mark.
    I'm absolutely certain.
**[14:15] ---**
    From the look of the wound
    on his right shoulder,
**[14:17] ---**
    I can tell it was caused from being hit
    by Naruto's Rasengan just now.
**[14:23] ---**
    What these two things have
    in common is that
**[14:26] ---**
    they both involve areas of his body
    that were overlapping
**[14:29] ---**
    and in contact with Naruto's body
    while he was slipping through him.
**[14:35] ---**
    There is another thing that
    the two have in common.
**[14:40] ---**
    That is…
**[14:45] ---**
    A kunai and Rasengan
    that I transported
**[14:48] ---**
    using my Kamui Jutsu
    caused those two things.
**[14:54] ---**
    In other words, from this,
**[14:56] ---**
    I can tell his Transportation
    Technique is linked
**[15:00] ---**
    to the same time-space
    as my Kamui!
**[15:10] ---**
    W-Wait a second!
    What do you mean?
**[15:12] ---**
    How come his Visual Jutsu
    and yours are linked?!
**[15:17] ---**
    *Are all Transportation Techniques…*
    *linked between all users?*
**[15:22] ---**
    No… They aren't…
    I suspect it's just him and me.
**[15:27] ---**
    Never mind that!
**[15:28] ---**
    Why did your kunai hit
    and not my punch?
**[15:32] ---**
    *That's right, fool!*
**[15:33] ---**
    *Even with shared time-spaces,*
**[15:36] ---**
    *it should still be impossible*
    *to hit a guy*
**[15:38] ---**
    *that can slip through things,*
    *ya fool.*
**[15:41] ---**
    Except that our theory that
    he slips through things was wrong.
**[15:45] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[15:50] ---**
    Although it looks like your attack
    slipped right through him,
**[15:53] ---**
    in fact, only the part of his body
    that would have been
**[15:56] ---**
    in contact with yours
    was transported into time-space.
**[16:01] ---**
    In other words,
    the left side of his mask
**[16:03] ---**
    that your punch "slipped through"
    was simply transported
**[16:07] ---**
    into time-space and
    no longer existed on this plane.
**[16:12] ---**
    At least materially.
**[16:15] ---**
    And then almost simultaneously,
**[16:18] ---**
    remember I hurled that kunai
    into time-space using Kamui?
**[16:26] ---**
    Just as his momentum
    carried him forward
**[16:29] ---**
    when he extended his arm
    toward you to grab you…
**[16:33] ---**
    my kunai finished entering time-space
    and scored his mask.
**[16:38] ---**
    Did the same thing happen
    with the Rasengan?
**[16:41] ---**
    Yeah…
**[16:53] ---**
    So that's what happened.
**[16:55] ---**
    *But how come both of*
    *your Visual Prowess's are linked?*
**[17:00] ---**
    Kakashi, is he…?
**[17:03] ---**
    Where did you get that eye?!
**[17:06] ---**
    Where, huh?
**[17:10] ---**
    If anything,
    in the last Great War.
**[17:15] ---**
    The Battle of Kannabi Bridge…
**[17:18] ---**
    The same battle where you earned
    the nickname "The Sharingan Hero."
**[17:24] ---**
    Are you…?
**[17:27] ---**
    I thought I told you not
    to flap your mouth so readily!
**[17:31] ---**
    You're just all talk now!
    Your words are worthless!
**[17:38] ---**
    It's too late for regrets.
**[17:41] ---**
    Reality just keeps cruelly
    moving ahead.
**[17:46] ---**
    You've seen reality,
    so you ought to know.
**[17:50] ---**
    Not one wish ever gets granted
    in this world.
**[17:53] ---**
    That's why I'm guiding it to
    the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[17:57] ---**
    I'm going to create a world
    where it won't be necessary
**[18:00] ---**
    for a hero to pathetically make excuses
    in front of a grave.
**[18:05] ---**
    Hey, are you all right, Kakashi?!
**[18:09] ---**
    You bastard!
**[18:10] ---**
    Are you still blabbing on
    about that?!
**[18:14] ---**
    I thought I told you too!
**[18:16] ---**
    I'm not giving up my dream
    of becoming Hokage!
**[18:18] ---**
    I've been entrusted with way too much
    from way too many!
**[18:23] ---**
    Naruto!
**[18:24] ---**
    *Heh!*
**[18:29] ---**
    Entrusted, eh?
**[18:31] ---**
    What if you were to lose the things
**[18:34] ---**
    Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage
    entrusted you with?
**[18:39] ---**
    I wonder what they would think?
**[18:45] ---**
    *I'm always thinking that*
**[18:47] ---**
    *I want to do something*
    *about this hatred.*
**[18:49] ---**
    *But I'm not sure*
    *how to go about it yet.*
**[18:53] ---**
    *If I can't find the answer myself,*
**[18:56] ---**
    *I shall pass the quest*
    *on to you!*
**[19:00] ---**
    *I'm glad I made you*
    *my student!*
**[19:04] ---**
    FOURTH HOKAGE
**[19:05] ---**
    *You have to find*
    *the answer yourself.*
    
    FOURTH HOKAGE
**[19:08] ---**
    *Even I don't know it.*
**[19:11] ---**
    *I know you'll find the answer.*
**[19:16] ---**
    *I believe in you.*
**[19:21] ---**
    Naruto, if you fail at the things
    you were entrusted with…
**[19:26] ---**
    I wonder what you will think
    of yourself as well?
**[19:34] ---**
    If you postpone dealing
    with problems
**[19:36] ---**
    and cover it up with the word "hope,"
**[19:39] ---**
    all that awaits you is
    an empty reality.
**[19:42] ---**
    Both the entrusted and those that
    did the entrusting, all in vain.
**[19:50] ---**
    *I sealed half of*
    *the Nine Tails' chakra inside of you,*
**[19:54] ---**
    *because I believed*
    *you could control its power.*
**[19:59] ---**
    *Because you are my son.*
**[20:07] ---**
    Naruto, switch with me!
**[20:10] ---**
    There's something I want
    to say to him.
**[20:20] ---**
    Sorry, but your words
    don't apply to this guy.
**[20:26] ---**
    Is that Nine Tails?
**[20:28] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage entrusted him
    with me.
**[20:30] ---**
    Not only has Naruto
    befriended me…
**[20:34] ---**
    but he's completely mastered
    my power as well!
**[20:41] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage sealed me
    within Naruto
**[20:45] ---**
    as a force to help take you down.
**[20:53] ---**
    Go, Naruto! You won't fail!
**[20:59] ---**
    Yeah!
**[22:37] ---**
    That man, he couldn't be…
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    There's absolutely no way!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Kakashi, I've got a pretty good idea
    of what you're thinking right now.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    But leave it be.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    There's no time to wallow
    in sentimentality.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Your former subordinate Naruto
    has already jumped into action!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Who Are You?"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    How stupid, jumping in alone.
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    WHO ARE YOU?
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:04] ---**
    *Go… Naruto.*
**[00:07] ---**
    *You won't fail!*
**[00:10] ---**
    Yeah!
**[00:16] ---**
    *That power again, huh?*
**[00:33] ---**
    Kakashi, we ought to—!
**[00:36] ---**
    *That man, he couldn't be…*
**[00:43] ---**
    *No…*
**[00:44] ---**
    – Kakashi…
    – *There's absolutely no way!*
**[00:47] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[00:50] ---**
    Are you listening?
**[00:51] ---**
    The more diversions,
    the better when attacking him!
**[00:55] ---**
    We have to join the fight!
**[01:01] ---**
    I've got a pretty good idea
    of what you're thinking right now.
**[01:05] ---**
    I feel the same way…
**[01:07] ---**
    But leave it be.
**[01:09] ---**
    There's no time to wallow
    in sentimentality.
**[01:12] ---**
    Your former subordinate, Naruto,
    has already jumped into action!
**[01:16] ---**
    How stupid, jumping in alone!
**[01:21] ---**
    Yo! Yo!
**[01:22] ---**
    Damn it!
**[01:32] ---**
    I'm not alone!
**[01:35] ---**
    Don't forget Kurama!
**[01:37] ---**
    There's also Octopops and Eight-o…
**[01:39] ---**
    Bushier Brow Sensei!
**[01:41] ---**
    And Kakashi Sensei too!
**[01:46] ---**
    You've got a winning record
    against me right now…
**[01:48] ---**
    This better not be enough
    to slow you down… Kakashi!
**[01:59] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[02:00] ---**
    *I'm glad you were*
    *my subordinate!*
**[02:03] ---**
    Let's go…Guy!
**[02:06] ---**
    My dear rival!
**[02:07] ---**
    That's what I'm talking about!
**[02:11] ---**
    *Considering my remaining chakra…*
**[02:13] ---**
    *I only have a few shots left.*
**[02:16] ---**
    I do not fear a borrowed power
**[02:18] ---**
    that can't even string together
    a barrage.
**[02:21] ---**
    The true power of Kamui…
**[02:24] ---**
    *This Kamui…*
**[02:25] ---**
    *I will not miss…*
**[02:27] ---**
    – Now watch and learn!
    – *my timing!*
**[02:33] ---**
    *Their knowing the trick to*
    *my jutsu changes nothing.*
**[02:39] ---**
    *If he has to materialize*
    *when he takes things in,*
**[02:41] ---**
    *he has to do so when*
    *he spits things out too!*
**[02:42] ---**
    *This is our chance!*
**[02:44] ---**
    That's if you can counterstrike!
**[02:51] ---**
    *What is this?*
**[02:53] ---**
    *Naruto!*
**[02:54] ---**
    *These have Curse Marks on them*
    *that restrain Tailed Beast power.
**[02:58] ---**
    *Whatever you do, don't touch it!*
**[03:01] ---**
    Octopops!
**[03:03] ---**
    Could you shield me for a bit?
**[03:05] ---**
    *Shadow Clone Jutsu!*
**[03:08] ---**
    *All right, come here!*
    *I'll be your umbrella!*
**[03:19] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[03:23] ---**
    *If it's that same trick again,*
**[03:25] ---**
    *all I need to do is not have*
    *Naruto slip through me.*
**[03:30] ---**
    What? A Shadow Clone?
**[03:33] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[03:38] ---**
    Seems my attack was
    quicker than you, Kakashi.
**[03:41] ---**
    You missed transporting away
    the Rasengan…
**[03:45] ---**
    …and wasted another Kamui.
**[03:48] ---**
    *Not yet!*
**[03:49] ---**
    *Tailed Beast Bomb!*
**[03:51] ---**
    *A bit late. How futile.*
**[04:09] ---**
    You're—!
**[04:11] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki!
**[04:14] ---**
    *I see, so that Kamui just now*
    *wasn't transporting the Rasengan,*
**[04:17] ---**
    *but the Shadow Clone itself!*
**[04:20] ---**
    *He beat me to it…*
    *Damn you, Kakashi!*
**[04:23] ---**
    Who…
**[04:25] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:29] ---**
    …are you?!
**[06:02] ---**
    *Who Are You?*

    PLAN BY KAKASHI'S CLASSMATES
    TO OBTAIN GIFTS TO CELEBRATE
    HIS PROMOTION TO JONIN.
    TOP SECRET MISSION.
**[10:26] ---**
    As of today, Kakashi is
    a jonin just like me.
**[10:31] ---**
    Remember, we were talking
    about this just the other day, Obito?
**[10:33] ---**
    When we discussed
    getting Kakashi a gift!
**[10:38] ---**
    Sorry. I guess I wasn't listening.
**[10:42] ---**
    Well, I got you this.
    A custom-made kunai.
**[10:46] ---**
    It's a little heavy and unconventional.
**[10:48] ---**
    But you'll get used to it quickly.
**[10:51] ---**
    Thank you.
**[10:52] ---**
    I got you this!
**[10:54] ---**
    Here! A personalized med kit for you.
**[10:57] ---**
    I just adjusted a few things
    to make it easier to use.
**[11:00] ---**
    Thank you.
**[11:04] ---**
    What are you holding
    your hand out for?
**[11:18] ---**
    Kakashi's father,
    Sakumo, took his own life
**[11:20] ---**
    after everyone around him
    vilified him.
**[11:27] ---**
    This is where we go our separate ways.
**[11:29] ---**
    Let's get going…
**[11:31] ---**
    Captain.
**[11:43] ---**
    *Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!*
**[11:58] ---**
    We'll be taking this one with us.
**[12:05] ---**
    Do you have any idea
    what you're saying, Kakashi?!
**[12:08] ---**
    Yeah…
**[12:11] ---**
    The two of us have to complete
    the mission alone.
**[12:14] ---**
    And Rin? What do we do
    about Rin, huh?
**[12:17] ---**
    We'll come back for her later.
**[12:18] ---**
    We must carry out our mission
    even at the expense of our comrades.
**[12:24] ---**
    You're right. In the Ninja World,
**[12:27] ---**
    those who break the rules and
    laws are regarded as scum.
**[12:32] ---**
    But…
**[12:34] ---**
    those who would abandon
    even one of their friends,
**[12:36] ---**
    are far worse than scum.
**[12:55] ---**
    Found them!
**[13:13] ---**
    Kakashi? Why did you—?
**[13:16] ---**
    Well, I certainly can't leave this up
    to a crybaby ninja like you, can I?
**[13:21] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[13:26] ---**
    Obito, behind you!
**[13:35] ---**
    My eye…!
**[13:36] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[13:40] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi! Are you all right?!
**[13:56] ---**
    B-But how?
**[13:58] ---**
    There's no way that
    you could've seen me!
**[14:00] ---**
    Obito… How did you…?!
**[14:17] ---**
    Release!
**[14:19] ---**
    Kakashi… Obito…
**[14:24] ---**
    This is bad!
**[14:43] ---**
    Whatever the village
    or anyone else may say…
**[14:47] ---**
    I think that you're a great jonin…
**[14:51] ---**
    It's true, that's how I feel.
**[14:55] ---**
    Please accept this…
**[15:04] ---**
    Is that you…Obito?
**[15:12] ---**
    Are you really Obito?
**[15:18] ---**
    I thought you died!
**[15:38] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[15:40] ---**
    That's Obito Uchiha…
**[15:44] ---**
    You can call me by
    that name if you want.
**[15:48] ---**
    It means nothing to me.
**[15:56] ---**
    *My eye!*
**[15:57] ---**
    *Kakashi!*
**[16:01] ---**
    *Obito… How did you…?!*
**[16:12] ---**
    *This time,*
    *I will protect my comrade!*
**[16:18] ---**
    But that day, you…
**[16:27] ---**
    Run for the exit!
**[16:31] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[16:46] ---**
    You guys all right? Rin? Kakashi?
**[16:52] ---**
    Obito!
**[17:01] ---**
    No, don't. It's okay, Kakashi.
**[17:05] ---**
    I don't think…I'll make it.
**[17:09] ---**
    My right side is completely crushed.
**[17:14] ---**
    I can't even feel anything
    there anymore.
**[17:21] ---**
    So what if I'm captain now?!
**[17:22] ---**
    So what if I made jonin?!
**[17:26] ---**
    Oh, that's right, I totally forgot…
**[17:31] ---**
    I was the only one…
**[17:34] ---**
    who didn't give you
    a gift for making jonin, Kakashi.
**[17:44] ---**
    I'm giving you my Sharingan.
**[17:58] ---**
    Kakashi, take care of Rin…
**[18:04] ---**
    I will.
**[18:12] ---**
    Obito!
**[18:18] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[18:25] ---**
    You're alive…
**[18:28] ---**
    Who is he?
**[18:30] ---**
    He was our classmate and
    an Uchiha who was a Leaf Shinobi.
**[18:35] ---**
    We all thought he was killed
    in action during the last war.
**[18:38] ---**
    If you survived, why didn't you
    come forward sooner?
**[18:43] ---**
    It's irrelevant whether
    I had survived or not.
**[18:47] ---**
    Although, I suppose…
**[18:51] ---**
    If you really want an answer…
**[19:04] ---**
    It's because…
**[19:07] ---**
    you let Rin…
**[19:12] ---**
    die.
**[19:18] ---**
    Relax…
**[19:20] ---**
    Besides, what's with
    that look, Kakashi?
**[19:29] ---**
    You're not going to condemn me?
**[19:32] ---**
    What would I gain from criticizing
    this absurd reality at this point?
**[19:42] ---**
    I have no interest in the affairs
**[19:44] ---**
    of a world that shall
    soon cease to exist.
**[19:48] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[19:50] ---**
    I don't know what went down
    between you two,
**[19:52] ---**
    but this is no time to be depressed!
**[19:55] ---**
    We can discuss it later!
**[19:57] ---**
    Right now, stopping what this guy
    is trying to do comes first!
**[20:02] ---**
    *Naruto!*
**[20:04] ---**
    Kakashi! Naruto is absolutely right!
**[20:06] ---**
    The fate of this world currently
    rests in our hands!
**[20:10] ---**
    I have nothing more
    to talk to you about.
**[20:14] ---**
    Stay tied down to reality…
**[20:16] ---**
    *Fire Style…*
**[20:17] ---**
    and die!
**[20:18] ---**
    *Bomb Blast Dance!*
**[20:28] ---**
    The Nine Tails' tail, huh?
**[20:45] ---**
    Huh? What the—?!
**[20:52] ---**
    Looks like you're having fun
    over here…
**[20:58] ---**
    Obito.
**[22:38] ---**
    He's…Madara!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Madara? You mean *that* Madara?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Why? Why is *that* Madara
    over here?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    *Hey, Naruto!*
    *Him being here must mean…*
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    What's happened to
    everyone over there?!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I'm not sure, but I suspect…
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Obito and Madara"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    …that none of them
    are doing too well.
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    OBITO AND MADARA
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:06] ---**
    That's…
**[00:08] ---**
    He's…
**[00:11] ---**
    Madara…!
**[00:13] ---**
    It's just like you…to have defied
    the Reanimation Jutsu.
**[00:19] ---**
    More importantly,
    what's taking so long?
**[00:22] ---**
    Why? Why is *that* Madara over here?
**[00:27] ---**
    Madara? You mean *that* Madara?
**[00:34] ---**
    He's a Shadow Clone too…
**[00:36] ---**
    Where's the real one, Obito?
**[00:41] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[00:43] ---**
    Him being here must mean…
**[00:46] ---**
    What's happened to
    everyone over there?
**[00:50] ---**
    Brother…
**[00:52] ---**
    He's over there, eh?
**[00:56] ---**
    I asked you what happened?!
**[00:59] ---**
    I'm not sure, but I suspect…
**[01:07] ---**
    …that none of them are doing too well.
**[02:40] ---**
    *Obito and Madara*
    
    
**[02:58] ---**
    Summoning…Jutsu…!
**[03:05] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[03:07] ---**
    Katsuyu… Do something for me…
**[03:11] ---**
    Yes! I'll fuse your body right away…
**[03:13] ---**
    No…
**[03:15] ---**
    My lower body can wait.
**[03:19] ---**
    First…
**[03:21] ---**
    Bring the other Kage…to me…
**[03:26] ---**
    I…can…still save them.
**[03:35] ---**
    *Faster than the Curse Mark Chains*
    *can wrap around!*
**[03:40] ---**
    I'll return that to you.
    It's yours to begin with.
**[03:58] ---**
    Finally, I can move!
**[03:59] ---**
    Thanks, Naruto!
**[04:01] ---**
    Now, it's my turn!
**[04:09] ---**
    Obito, did you launch
    the plan haphazardly
**[04:12] ---**
    before you even took in
    the Eight and Nine Tails?
**[04:17] ---**
    *He knows about the plan…*
**[04:20] ---**
    *What's their relationship?*
**[04:22] ---**
    You were hasty, Obito.
**[04:24] ---**
    Is that also why I was revived
    in this form?
**[04:34] ---**
    Well, knowing you…
**[04:36] ---**
    I'm sure you have something in mind.
**[04:39] ---**
    What have you been up to
    all this time?
**[04:41] ---**
    Where's Nagato?
**[04:44] ---**
    You were supposed to determine
    the appropriate moment
**[04:45] ---**
    and bring me back to life
    with Rinne Rebirth.
**[04:48] ---**
    That was the agreement.
**[04:54] ---**
    *Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth.*
**[04:57] ---**
    *Nagato's Visual Prowess is the jutsu*
    *that controls life and death.*
**[05:02] ---**
    *He is the seventh Pain.*
**[05:05] ---**
    You tried to take advantage
    of Nagato?!
**[05:08] ---**
    He betrayed us.
**[05:10] ---**
    He used the jutsu to revive
    the Leaf villagers.
**[05:12] ---**
    I can't depend on any of you.
**[05:15] ---**
    Well, no matter…
    It's still not too late.
**[05:19] ---**
    I'll capture the Eight and Nine Tails!
**[05:23] ---**
    Dead men shouldn't go around
    messing things up!
**[05:36] ---**
    Huh?!
**[05:37] ---**
    It didn't explode?!
**[05:42] ---**
    Uchiha Reflection.
**[06:01] ---**
    I'll get the Eight and Nine Tails.
**[06:03] ---**
    Obito, you take down those two.
**[06:10] ---**
    Obito…
**[06:11] ---**
    What happened to you?
**[06:13] ---**
    Why would you join up with him?
**[06:27] ---**
    Am I…dead?
**[06:37] ---**
    Where am I?
**[06:40] ---**
    In between this life and the next…
    young Uchiha.
**[06:48] ---**
    Those eyes!
**[06:49] ---**
    No way, Gramps…
    You're an Uchiha too?
**[06:52] ---**
    Well, perhaps.
**[06:56] ---**
    *He rescued me?*
**[06:58] ---**
    *But wait…*
**[07:00] ---**
    You said we're between
    this life and the next.
**[07:03] ---**
    Where are we?
**[07:05] ---**
    It's dark and I can't see so well.
**[07:07] ---**
    Anyways, who are you, Gramps?
**[07:10] ---**
    Heh, Don't tell me you're Death!
**[07:13] ---**
    The guy who escorts people
    to heaven or hell…
**[07:20] ---**
    Nooo!
**[07:23] ---**
    I don't want to die yet! Help!
**[07:26] ---**
    I just saw a scythe or something!
**[07:28] ---**
    You're Death for sure!
**[07:30] ---**
    One especially for the Uchiha!
**[07:33] ---**
    Wait! I lived my life under a creed
    of helping elderly people in need!
**[07:38] ---**
    Sure, I caused a lot of mischief
    and broke a lot of rules….
**[07:42] ---**
    But I'm sure my scale tips
    on the positive side!
**[07:45] ---**
    Please don't take me to hell!
**[07:47] ---**
    Oww…
**[07:48] ---**
    The fact that you feel pain
    means you're still alive.
**[07:54] ---**
    However, it's a miracle
    that you survived.
**[07:59] ---**
    I'm amazed you weren't completely
    crushed under those boulders.
**[08:02] ---**
    It's almost as if you passed
    right through them.
**[08:08] ---**
    Where did you find me?
**[08:10] ---**
    In an underground passageway
    I had created…
**[08:14] ---**
    collapsed next to crumbled rock.
**[08:17] ---**
    Still, half your body
    had been crushed.
**[08:22] ---**
    I patched you up as best I could.
**[08:25] ---**
    So you saved me, Gramps.
**[08:28] ---**
    Thank you.
**[08:30] ---**
    It's too soon to thank me.
**[08:33] ---**
    I expect you to repay
    your debt to me.
**[08:37] ---**
    After all, helping the elderly
    is your motto, right?
**[08:41] ---**
    Well, yeah.
**[08:45] ---**
    So what do you want me to do?
**[08:49] ---**
    Help you with bathroom stuff?
**[08:50] ---**
    That would be good.
**[08:53] ---**
    Sorry, but I can't stay here forever!
**[08:57] ---**
    Now that I know I'm alive,
**[08:59] ---**
    I'm going back home to
    the Hidden Leaf Village!
**[09:02] ---**
    There's a war going on.
**[09:04] ---**
    My Sharingan's finally
    awakened…
**[09:07] ---**
    So now, I'll be able to protect
    my comrades even better!
**[09:11] ---**
    Protect your comrades better, eh…?
**[09:14] ---**
    What is it?
**[09:16] ---**
    With that body…
    your life as a shinobi is over.
**[09:21] ---**
    No, no, no!
**[09:23] ---**
    Finally… I finally got this eye!
**[09:26] ---**
    I'm confident my attack combinations
    will be better now!
**[09:36] ---**
    *I thought so.*
**[09:38] ---**
    *The scent has been*
    *completely erased.*
**[09:41] ---**
    *We'll have to locate him*
**[09:43] ---**
    *by the slightest movement*
    *and noise he makes.*
**[09:46] ---**
    *W-Where is he?*
**[09:51] ---**
    *Obito, behind you!*
**[09:57] ---**
    *Kakashi!*
**[09:58] ---**
    *My eye…!*
**[10:01] ---**
    *Hey, Kakashi! Are you all right?!*
**[10:09] ---**
    *Even if he's just a kid,*
    *it doesn't hurt to be cautious.*
**[10:13] ---**
    *I'll take it nice and slow.*
**[10:16] ---**
    *Our enemy… He's good.*
**[10:19] ---**
    *He threw away the kunai knife*
    *stained with the smell of my blood.*
**[10:25] ---**
    *Don't tell me you got dust*
    *in your eye again?*
**[10:28] ---**
    *A ninja shouldn't cry…*
**[10:30] ---**
    *I'm not dead yet.*
**[10:35] ---**
    If that was now…
**[10:37] ---**
    I wouldn't have let that
    happen to Kakashi…
**[10:44] ---**
    *Die!*
**[10:51] ---**
    *W-Why… There's no way you could see…*
**[10:55] ---**
    *Obito… You…!*
**[11:04] ---**
    *W-What is…that eye?*
**[11:09] ---**
    *This time…I'll protect my comrade!*
**[11:26] ---**
    *You're surprisingly stubborn.*
**[11:35] ---**
    *Hmm…. They're all so pathetic.*
**[11:42] ---**
    *The flow of Rin's chakra is disturbed…*
**[11:45] ---**
    *It's different from your chakra or mine.*
**[11:48] ---**
    *She's probably under a genjutsu…*
**[11:50] ---**
    *They didn't waste any time trying to*
    *get the information out of her.*
**[11:53] ---**
    *We fought him earlier.*
    *He's fast…*
**[11:56] ---**
    *Stay alert!*
**[11:57] ---**
    *Right!*
**[12:33] ---**
    *And…*
**[12:35] ---**
    *At last, I'll be a shinobi*
    *who can protect his comrades.*
**[12:46] ---**
    Wake up to reality.
**[12:49] ---**
    Nothing ever goes as
    planned in this world.
**[12:53] ---**
    The longer you live,
    the more you realize that
**[12:56] ---**
    only pain, suffering,
    and futility exist in this reality.
**[13:03] ---**
    *What's with this old man…?*
**[13:06] ---**
    Listen to me…
**[13:07] ---**
    In this world, wherever there is light,
**[13:11] ---**
    there are always shadows.
**[13:13] ---**
    As long as there is
    a concept of victors,
**[13:16] ---**
    the vanquished will also exist.
**[13:19] ---**
    The selfish desire for peace
    gives rise to war.
**[13:24] ---**
    And hatred is born in order
    to protect love.
**[13:28] ---**
    These are all nexuses,
**[13:30] ---**
    causal relationships that
    cannot be separated.
**[13:33] ---**
    Normally, that is.
**[13:35] ---**
    *The old man's on a roll…*
**[13:37] ---**
    *Old people ramble forever*
    *once they start.*
**[13:40] ---**
    So…where are we anyway?
**[13:42] ---**
    Because you were hurt,
    someone else was saved.
**[13:48] ---**
    Isn't that so?
**[13:53] ---**
    *This is bad!*
    *Run for the exit!*
**[14:04] ---**
    *Kakashi!*
**[14:30] ---**
    *Are you all right?*
    *Rin…? Kakashi…?*
**[14:35] ---**
    *Obito!*
**[14:45] ---**
    *Don't…*
**[14:47] ---**
    *It's okay, Kakashi.*
**[14:49] ---**
    *I don't think I can make it…*
**[14:54] ---**
    *My right side is totally crushed.*
**[14:58] ---**
    *I can't even feel anything…*
**[15:05] ---**
    *Dammit!*
**[15:08] ---**
    *I'm giving you…my Sharingan.*
**[15:16] ---**
    *Whatever the village may say…*
    *you are…a great jonin.*
**[15:23] ---**
    *That's how I really feel…*
**[15:28] ---**
    *So please accept it.*
**[15:38] ---**
    *Kakashi… Take care of Rin.*
**[15:46] ---**
    *Rin, hurry, take my hand!*
**[15:48] ---**
    *Rin!*
**[16:03] ---**
    *Obito!*
**[16:08] ---**
    *Just when Kakashi and I were…*
    *starting to get along…
**[16:14] ---**
    *I couldn't tell Rin that I…loved her…*
**[16:20] ---**
    *I wish…I could've spent more time…*
    *with everyone.*
**[16:31] ---**
    Shut up already!
**[16:33] ---**
    I don't want to stay here long!
**[16:36] ---**
    I have to…
**[16:39] ---**
    Leave if you really want to.
**[16:42] ---**
    If you can move, that is.
**[16:49] ---**
    *Wait a minute…*
**[16:51] ---**
    *There's something weird*
    *about this.*
**[16:54] ---**
    *What's an old man with the Sharingan*
    *doing here all by himself?*
**[16:58] ---**
    *If I think about it,*
**[17:00] ---**
    *I know all the geezers and grannies*
    *in the Hidden Leaf Village,*
**[17:04] ---**
    *and if I've never seen him around…*
**[17:08] ---**
    *It means this guy is currently*
    *not a Leaf Shinobi.*
**[17:12] ---**
    *Which means…*
**[17:15] ---**
    Gramps… I bet…
**[17:17] ---**
    you're a Rogue Ninja, aren't you?
**[17:19] ---**
    Just who are you?!
**[17:32] ---**
    I am…an Uchiha ghost.
**[17:37] ---**
    I am Madara Uchiha.
**[17:40] ---**
    *M-Madara…?!*
**[17:43] ---**
    By Madara…
**[17:45] ---**
    You mean Madara Uchiha,
    as in my ancestor?!
**[17:49] ---**
    That Madara's supposed to
    have died ages ago!
**[17:52] ---**
    What era are we talking about?!
**[17:54] ---**
    So you're more likely to
    believe that I'm Death?
**[18:01] ---**
    I guess I am Death, in a sense…
**[18:07] ---**
    For this reality, truly is hell.
**[18:13] ---**
    I'm a cheater of death who
    would be dead in no time…
**[18:17] ---**
    if I weren't continuously
    siphoning chakra
**[18:21] ---**
    from that Gedo Statue behind me.
**[18:31] ---**
    I'm going home!
**[18:37] ---**
    I wouldn't bother.
    There are no exits here.
**[18:41] ---**
    In any case, neither you
    nor I can leave this place.
**[18:47] ---**
    At least, not with our bodies.
**[18:53] ---**
    If you move, the synthetic tissue
    of Hashirama
**[18:56] ---**
    that I went to the trouble of
    attaching to you will peel off.
**[18:59] ---**
    Do you want to die?
**[19:02] ---**
    There are a lot of things
    I'd like you to do for me,
**[19:06] ---**
    for the rest of our lives.
**[19:09] ---**
    I went to great pains to save you.
**[19:11] ---**
    Don't rush to your death.
**[19:13] ---**
    What do you want?
**[19:15] ---**
    What does a geezer like you want
    from a brat like me?!
**[19:20] ---**
    To sever the fate of this world.
**[19:26] ---**
    A world of only victors…
**[19:28] ---**
    a world of only peace…
    a world of only love.
**[19:34] ---**
    I will create such a world.
**[19:37] ---**
    So what! Who cares!
**[19:40] ---**
    I just want to go back to everyone!
**[19:44] ---**
    I told you, things don't go
    as planned.
**[19:51] ---**
    You will realize that in time.
**[19:58] ---**
    If you really want to die so badly,
    then go ahead.
**[20:01] ---**
    But I'll be taking that Sharingan
    of yours.
**[20:07] ---**
    Why do you want my eye?!
**[20:09] ---**
    You already have
    your own Sharingan!
**[20:12] ---**
    Actually, my original eyes are
    on loan to another.
**[20:18] ---**
    This one is a spare
    I transplanted later.
**[20:22] ---**
    I'd like to have a few more in stock…
**[20:26] ---**
    Since I don't have a right eye yet.
**[20:30] ---**
    And only with two together can
    the Sharingan's true power be unleashed.
**[20:36] ---**
    *Then…that means…*
**[20:38] ---**
    *If I team up with Kakashi,*
    *we'll both be even stronger.*
**[20:41] ---**
    *Then we'll be able to*
    *protect Rin properly, together!*
**[20:46] ---**
    *I definitely can't stay here.*
**[20:49] ---**
    *Just you wait… Kakashi… Rin!*
**[20:55] ---**
    I'm…
**[20:58] ---**
    alive!
**[22:37] ---**
    Hey, I was just outside and
**[22:39] ---**
    your friends Rin and Stupid Kakashi
    are in a real pinch!
**[22:41] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[22:43] ---**
    They're by themselves, completely
    surrounded by Hidden Mist Shinobi!
**[22:46] ---**
    Kakashi, you promised me!
    Please protect Rin!
**[22:53] ---**
    I'll be right there!
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "I'm In Hell"
**[23:00] ---**
    Kakashi and I will protect Rin!
**[23:03] ---**
    I'M IN HELL
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:32] ---**
    *I'm in Hell*
**[01:50] ---**
    Hey there.
**[01:52] ---**
    How are you doing?
**[01:55] ---**
    Bad… What do you think?
**[01:59] ---**
    How long have I been here?
**[02:03] ---**
    It feels like it's been a while.
**[02:05] ---**
    Don't worry,
    you don't need to pay rent.
**[02:09] ---**
    Those of us created from
    the Gedo Statue don't have to eat either.
**[02:14] ---**
    No food bills,
    no need for a bathroom.
**[02:17] ---**
    We don't even poo!
**[02:19] ---**
    Don't lump me in with you guys!
**[02:23] ---**
    I just have half of that weird stuff
    stuck onto me.
**[02:28] ---**
    And thanks to that, you can survive
    without eating or drinking.
**[02:32] ---**
    In fact, you should be grateful
    and thank us.
**[02:36] ---**
    Good grief. We're the ones who don't want
    to be lumped in with you!
**[02:40] ---**
    What you have is
    emotionless synth-tissue.
**[02:42] ---**
    We are full artificial humans.
    We have feelings and everything!
**[02:46] ---**
    You may have a better sense of humor,
    but what we have is much better!
**[02:50] ---**
    Both our vocabulary skills and mental acuity
    are far higher than yours!
**[02:55] ---**
    But we don't poo…
**[02:57] ---**
    Shut up!
**[02:59] ---**
    All right, explain how you're at
    a higher level than I am!
**[03:07] ---**
    We are…
**[03:07] ---**
    The ones…
**[03:08] ---**
    – in charge of watching you!
    – in charge of watching you!
**[03:09] ---**
    Don't talk in synch!
    That pisses me off!
**[03:12] ---**
    We're only helping you
    with your rehab
**[03:14] ---**
    because Madara ordered us
    to get you up and running
**[03:18] ---**
    and usable by the time he wakes up.
**[03:23] ---**
    So he makes these noisy puppets
    keep an eye on me…
**[03:26] ---**
    while he gets to sleep
    the whole time?
**[03:32] ---**
    I swear I'm gonna get outta here
    and return to Rin and Kakashi!
**[03:36] ---**
    Where's the exit?
**[03:38] ---**
    Can't be done…there's no exit.
**[03:41] ---**
    Madara sealed it off
    with a huge boulder…
**[03:45] ---**
    after we lugged you here
    on his orders.
**[03:48] ---**
    What?! He sealed us in?!
**[03:50] ---**
    By the way, you've been saying
    "Rin-Rin-Rin" in your sleep a lot.
**[03:55] ---**
    Do you want to go outside to
    collect a bell or something?
**[03:58] ---**
    Once in a while,
    you said "stupid-stupid-stupid.”
**[04:02] ---**
    And "stupid Kakashi."
**[04:03] ---**
    Yeah, yeah, that's right!
    Every so often.
**[04:07] ---**
    What's a "stupid Kakashi"?
**[04:09] ---**
    Beats me. Why don't you ask him?
**[04:13] ---**
    *Was I really saying that?*
**[04:20] ---**
    Um, may we ask you a question!
**[04:24] ---**
    What?
**[04:25] ---**
    When nature calls…
**[04:26] ---**
    In short, what does the urge
    to poo feel like?
**[04:30] ---**
    For example…
**[04:31] ---**
    I thought you wanted to know
    about stupid Kakashi!
**[04:33] ---**
    Why are you guys so obsessed
    with poop?
**[04:37] ---**
    You don't have to get so angry.
**[04:40] ---**
    All right, we'll ask you about
    Rin and stupid Kakashi later.
**[04:44] ---**
    Especially you, with the swirly face…
**[04:46] ---**
    You don't poop,
    but you look like poop.
**[04:49] ---**
    I hate you!
**[04:51] ---**
    Anyway, where'd the other white guys go?
**[04:54] ---**
    They went outside to collect intel.
**[04:57] ---**
    What?! You guys can get out?
**[05:01] ---**
    We can all move through
    the earth's surface.
**[05:06] ---**
    What the hell?!
**[05:09] ---**
    I'm locked up in here,
**[05:12] ---**
    and I have to hear about all
    this weird stuff.
**[05:14] ---**
    So sorry to have bothered you
    about poo!
**[05:16] ---**
    That's not what I meant!
**[05:19] ---**
    I mean, what Madara talked about!
**[05:21] ---**
    Something about severing fate
    and all…
**[05:24] ---**
    Oh, that…
**[05:25] ---**
    Madara's not nice enough to talk
    to a brat at his level.
**[05:31] ---**
    Simply put, he's talking
    about discarding
**[05:33] ---**
    all the bad things in the real world and
**[05:36] ---**
    escaping inside a dream
    that's full of good things!
**[05:40] ---**
    Inside a dream?
**[05:42] ---**
    Since it's a dream,
    everything is how you want it!
**[05:45] ---**
    Even those who are dead
    can be alive again!
**[05:49] ---**
    Yeah…
**[05:50] ---**
    Just think of it as all of us going
    to this huge dream world
**[05:54] ---**
    that was created using genjutsu!
**[05:57] ---**
    Well, it's more like forcibly
    taking everyone there…
**[06:01] ---**
    and for life too.
**[06:03] ---**
    With genjutsu?
**[06:07] ---**
    That's so beyond stupid,
    I can't even understand it.
**[06:11] ---**
    If you have as much power as Madara,
    anything is possible.
**[06:15] ---**
    It's just that he's weak right now
    and can't do it yet.
**[06:18] ---**
    Much still needs to be prepared.
**[06:22] ---**
    Oh really? Well, I'm not interested.
**[06:26] ---**
    More importantly…
**[06:28] ---**
    I swear I'm gonna make it outside!
**[06:34] ---**
    And get back to Rin and Kakashi!
**[06:37] ---**
    What?
**[06:39] ---**
    I've got to get this body working again…
**[08:07] ---**
    Yaaaay!
**[09:01] ---**
    What?!
**[09:40] ---**
    *Don't act tough and hide your wounds!*
**[09:44] ---**
    *I'm always watching, you know.*
**[09:56] ---**
    *It's starting to feel natural.*
**[09:59] ---**
    *Just a bit longer.*
**[10:01] ---**
    *I'll see you soon, Rin… Kakashi!*
**[10:09] ---**
    I was just outside!
**[10:12] ---**
    Your friends, Rin and
    stupid Kakashi, are in trouble!
**[10:15] ---**
    What happened?!
**[10:16] ---**
    They're alone and completely
    surrounded by Hidden Mist Shinobi!
**[10:33] ---**
    You can't break through boulders
    with that body yet.
**[10:37] ---**
    I have to save Rin and Kakashi…
**[10:46] ---**
    Why don't you wear my body?
**[10:54] ---**
    But you guys serve Madara.
    Are you sure about this?
**[10:59] ---**
    He's…a good boy.
**[11:03] ---**
    Don't you want to help
    Rin and Kakashi?
**[11:10] ---**
    Thanks, you guys!
**[11:34] ---**
    You kept the root tethered and
    borrowed the statue's power eh? Nice.
**[11:44] ---**
    I'm pretty good, huh?
**[11:51] ---**
    All right!
**[11:53] ---**
    So you're going?
**[12:03] ---**
    I'm grateful that you saved me.
**[12:06] ---**
    But I'm leaving. I have to go.
**[12:11] ---**
    You're being too hasty…
**[12:13] ---**
    It may be premature to thank me.
**[12:17] ---**
    I'll probably never come back here.
**[12:20] ---**
    I've given my thanks.
**[12:21] ---**
    I'm going!
**[12:24] ---**
    You…will return.
**[12:29] ---**
    And that's when I'll get
    your true gratitude.
**[12:34] ---**
    White one!
    What's Rin and Kakashi's location?!
**[12:37] ---**
    Take me there right away!
**[12:40] ---**
    What you've got on your body
    is like a clone of me.
**[12:44] ---**
    And we can talk telepathically to
    each other over limited distances.
**[12:49] ---**
    Others of us are scattered
    here and there underground.
**[12:52] ---**
    We're able to exchange intel.
**[12:55] ---**
    I'll use them to guide you.
**[12:58] ---**
    Swirly!
**[12:59] ---**
    First, we need to get outside.
**[13:01] ---**
    I'm counting on you.
**[13:19] ---**
    How are Rin and Kakashi
    doing right now?
**[13:22] ---**
    According to the others,
    it looks pretty bad.
**[13:26] ---**
    They're talking about some
    Hidden Mist test subjects,
**[13:29] ---**
    but I don't really understand.
**[13:32] ---**
    Test subjects?
**[13:35] ---**
    Anyway, it seems Rin and Kakashi
    are totally surrounded.
**[13:39] ---**
    And they're saying they all appear
    to be jonin or Black Ops.
**[13:44] ---**
    What's Minato Sensei doing?
**[13:46] ---**
    Who is that?
**[13:47] ---**
    I'm asking you what the Yellow Flash
    of the Leaf is doing!
**[13:52] ---**
    Seems he's on a different mission.
**[13:56] ---**
    At a time like this?!
**[13:59] ---**
    *Kakashi… Look after Rin for me.*
**[14:04] ---**
    *I will.*
**[14:06] ---**
    *Kakashi! You made me a promise!*
**[14:11] ---**
    *Please…*
**[14:14] ---**
    *Please protect Rin somehow!*
**[14:17] ---**
    I'll be right there!
**[14:20] ---**
    Obito, this will probably turn
    into a battle.
**[14:23] ---**
    So I want to tell you
    some things beforehand.
**[14:26] ---**
    What is it?!
**[14:27] ---**
    Your fighting ability is lower
    than mine.
**[14:30] ---**
    Plus right now, it's like my big body
    is wrapped around
**[14:33] ---**
    and protecting
    your wounded little body.
**[14:38] ---**
    So what?!
**[14:40] ---**
    I think it would be better
    if I do all the fighting.
**[14:44] ---**
    Remember what Madara said?
**[14:47] ---**
    That only with a pair together
**[14:49] ---**
    can the Sharingan's true power
    be unleashed!
**[14:51] ---**
    Kakashi, the other half of my pair,
    will be on the battlefield.
**[14:55] ---**
    Our combo attacks are superior!
**[14:59] ---**
    Kakashi and I will protect Rin!
**[15:04] ---**
    As I recall, you do have
    Hashirama's tissue attached to you.
**[15:08] ---**
    A whole different strength may emerge
**[15:11] ---**
    when Senju and Uchiha powers
    are combined together, but…
**[15:20] ---**
    What was that?
**[15:32] ---**
    I thought it was rain, but it's…
**[15:35] ---**
    I just got word from one of my guys.
**[15:37] ---**
    It seems…
**[15:40] ---**
    That's the location.
**[15:43] ---**
    Let's go!
**[15:57] ---**
    *What's happening?!*
**[15:59] ---**
    *Stop showing these weird images!*
**[16:02] ---**
    *A little bit…*
**[16:04] ---**
    *Just a little bit farther!*
**[16:21] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[17:03] ---**
    Damn it! He did it!
**[17:06] ---**
    After all the trouble
    we went through to get her!
**[17:14] ---**
    Rin…
**[17:31] ---**
    *Where…*
**[17:34] ---**
    *in the world…*
**[17:36] ---**
    *is this place?!*
**[17:40] ---**
    Who is that guy?
**[17:41] ---**
    Reinforcements maybe?
**[17:43] ---**
    What a fool, jumping in alone!
**[17:45] ---**
    *I won't accept it!*
**[17:52] ---**
    *I will not…*
**[17:54] ---**
    What just happened?!
**[17:56] ---**
    Did he dodge them?
**[17:58] ---**
    *…accept any of this!*
**[18:08] ---**
    Do not mock the Blood Mist Village!
**[18:24] ---**
    *Die!*
**[18:28] ---**
    *I can't hit him!*
**[18:38] ---**
    Who is that guy?!
**[18:40] ---**
    He wields a strange jutsu!
**[18:42] ---**
    At least grab the girl!
**[18:44] ---**
    Don't hand her corpse over
    to the enemy!
**[18:56] ---**
    There's no mistake!
    This guy passes right through you!
**[19:09] ---**
    *All of a sudden,*
**[19:10] ---**
    *he's able to use*
    *the Wood Style Cutting Sprigs Jutsu…*
**[19:12] ---**
    *Obito, now I understand*
    *why Madara chose you!*
**[19:53] ---**
    What is he?
**[20:44] ---**
    I get it…
**[20:47] ---**
    I'm…
**[20:54] ---**
    I'm…
**[20:59] ---**
    in Hell.
**[22:37] ---**
    I shall sever the nexuses
    of this world.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    That's why I came back.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    So you still felt loyalty to
    your one-time teammate?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    No, it doesn't matter to me anymore
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    whether he's alive or
    dead in this world.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Kakashi will exist
    in the world we'll create. Rin too.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "World of Dreams"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Teach me how to create
    this world of dreams.
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *World of Dreams*
    
    
    
**[01:45] ---**
    *The longer you live…*
**[01:47] ---**
    *the more you realize*
    *that only pain, suffering,*
**[01:50] ---**
    *and futility exist in this reality.*
**[01:54] ---**
    *Listen to me…*
**[01:55] ---**
    *In this world,*
**[01:57] ---**
    *wherever there is light,*
    *there are always shadows.*
**[02:02] ---**
    *These are all nexuses,*
**[02:04] ---**
    *causal relationships*
    *that cannot be separated.*
**[02:06] ---**
    *Normally, that is.*
**[02:16] ---**
    *He's talking about discarding all*
    *the bad things in the real world*
**[02:19] ---**
    *and escaping inside a dream*
    *that's full of good things!*
**[02:45] ---**
    *Since it's a dream,*
    *everything is how you want it!*
**[02:52] ---**
    *Even those who are dead*
    *can be alive again!*
**[02:58] ---**
    *A world of only victors…*
    *a world of only peace…*
**[03:03] ---**
    *a world of only love.*
**[03:05] ---**
    *I will create such a world.*
**[03:11] ---**
    Again, Rin…
**[03:15] ---**
    I'll create a world where
    we can be together again.
**[03:34] ---**
    *I shall sever the nexuses…*
**[03:40] ---**
    *of this world…*
**[03:46] ---**
    That's why I've come back.
**[03:55] ---**
    I hope no one saw you.
**[03:59] ---**
    I'm the only one who saw him.
**[04:02] ---**
    Obito slaughtered everyone,
    so we're safe.
**[04:07] ---**
    He didn't seem to want
    to kill Kakashi though.
**[04:12] ---**
    But Kakashi didn't see anything.
**[04:15] ---**
    When reinforcements from
    the Hidden Leaf arrived,
**[04:17] ---**
    he was screaming,
    "Who killed the enemy?!"
**[04:22] ---**
    So you still felt loyalty to
    your one-time teammate?
**[04:26] ---**
    No, it doesn't matter
    to me anymore
**[04:29] ---**
    whether he's alive or
    dead in this world.
**[04:35] ---**
    Kakashi will exist
    in the world we'll create.
**[04:40] ---**
    Rin too…
**[04:41] ---**
    Madara, teach me how to create
    this world of dreams.
**[04:48] ---**
    I don't need
    your thanks anymore.
**[04:50] ---**
    Come here.
**[04:53] ---**
    Starting today,
    you will be the savior.
**[04:56] ---**
    Look into my eye.
**[05:01] ---**
    You are inside my genjutsu.
**[05:05] ---**
    It's still a blank canvas,
**[05:06] ---**
    but I can project my will upon it
    to create whatever I want.
**[05:11] ---**
    And even control them.
**[05:14] ---**
    Anything is possible,
**[05:15] ---**
    since I'm linked to, and borrowing,
    the power of the Gedo Statue.
**[05:21] ---**
    Like this, see?
**[05:24] ---**
    We'll use this genjutsu
    to create the ideal world.
**[05:29] ---**
    And then, we'll cast the genjutsu
    on everyone
**[05:31] ---**
    and bring them here.
**[05:35] ---**
    The scale of this jutsu
    is accomplished
**[05:37] ---**
    by using the moon instead
    of our eyes.
**[05:40] ---**
    So that an entire world of dreams
    is achieved.
**[05:43] ---**
    You make it sound so simple,
    but I still don't quite get it.
**[05:48] ---**
    Let me explain,
**[05:50] ---**
    starting with the Sage of Six Paths
    and Ten Tails.
**[05:53] ---**
    Isn't the Ten Tails just a legend?
**[05:57] ---**
    Legends are always derived
    from something real.
**[06:01] ---**
    The Tailed Beasts
    that roam the world…
**[06:03] ---**
    resulted when
    the Sage of the Six Paths
**[06:06] ---**
    split up the power
    of the Ten Tails.
**[06:09] ---**
    Do you have proof
    that story is true?!
**[06:12] ---**
    I do.
**[06:15] ---**
    After I obtained the cells
    of Hashirama Senju,
**[06:18] ---**
    I implanted them into my wound.
**[06:21] ---**
    At that time, nothing happened…
**[06:24] ---**
    It was only when I was starting
    to die of old age…
**[06:28] ---**
    that my Rinnegan awakened.
**[06:31] ---**
    And it simultaneously led
    to the undoing of a certain seal.
**[06:37] ---**
    I was then able to summon,
    and extract,
**[06:39] ---**
    the husk of the Ten Tails
    from a Seal Stone.
**[06:42] ---**
    The Ten Tail's husk?
**[06:45] ---**
    I call it the Gedo Statue.
**[06:47] ---**
    And the Seal Stone is
    what we know as the moon.
**[06:54] ---**
    Immediately, I used the statue's body
    as a catalyst
**[06:58] ---**
    to culture Hashirama's cells
    into what you see before you.
**[07:02] ---**
    One could say that these artificial beings
    are clones of Hashirama.
**[07:07] ---**
    Although they are reduced in quality.
**[07:10] ---**
    The Rinnegan cannot
    be awakened
**[07:13] ---**
    without the possessing
    both Uchiha and Senju powers.
**[07:16] ---**
    And the statue cannot
    be controlled easily.
**[07:21] ---**
    You have Senju cells attached
    to the right half of you.
**[07:25] ---**
    Even if you never awaken
    the Rinnegan,
**[07:27] ---**
    you should be able to
    eventually control the statue.
**[07:36] ---**
    Did you see them?
    That redhead's eyes?
**[07:43] ---**
    So they're Madara's Rinnegan, huh…
**[07:46] ---**
    They're Madara's actual eyes.
**[07:48] ---**
    When that kid was younger…
**[07:50] ---**
    he secretly transplanted them
    without anyone noticing!
**[07:55] ---**
    Nagato is of Senju bloodline.
**[07:58] ---**
    And the only other person
    in addition to Madara
**[08:02] ---**
    who can summon the Gedo Statue.
**[08:06] ---**
    As Madara said,
    first, we win him over and…
**[08:13] ---**
    Huh?! What're you gonna do?
**[08:16] ---**
    I'm going straight for him.
**[08:18] ---**
    H-Hey, shouldn't you plan
    a strategy first?
**[08:22] ---**
    I don't need to do that.
**[08:24] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[08:26] ---**
    *I shall teach you*
    *the Uchiha Forbidden Jutsu,*
**[08:28] ---**
    *the Six Paths Jutsu.*
**[08:30] ---**
    *And the Shadow and Light Style Jutsu.*
**[08:40] ---**
    *I've implanted my will*
    *inside this one…*
**[08:42] ---**
    *Think of him as being half of me.*
**[08:45] ---**
    *Though he'll be degraded too.*
**[08:48] ---**
    *You can use these beings*
    *that I created*
**[08:50] ---**
    *using Shadow and Light*
    *Style Jutsu as your soldiers.*
**[08:58] ---**
    *That Black Rod was created*
    *as a physical manifestation of my will.*
**[09:02] ---**
    *Use it when you perform*
    *the Six Paths Jutsu…*
**[09:30] ---**
    *Now, go on…*
**[09:32] ---**
    *Until the time when I will be revived…*
**[09:38] ---**
    *You shall be…*
**[09:43] ---**
    Who are you?
**[09:45] ---**
    I am Madara Uchiha.
**[09:48] ---**
    Madara?
**[09:55] ---**
    You're either a criminal
    or a total idiot
**[09:59] ---**
    to claim Uchiha Madara's name.
**[10:02] ---**
    Why'd you approach us?
**[10:05] ---**
    The Rinnegan…
**[10:08] ---**
    To guide those who awaken it,
    is the mission
**[10:11] ---**
    our organization has been
    entrusted with since ages past.
**[10:16] ---**
    You know about my eyes?
**[10:20] ---**
    You are the reincarnation
    of the Sage of Six Paths,
**[10:22] ---**
    who dreamed of world peace
    and stability.
**[10:27] ---**
    Only the villages of large nations
    are showered in light.
**[10:30] ---**
    Leaving your small country's village
    in the shadow, dying.
**[10:35] ---**
    That is why your eye
    has awakened here.
**[10:40] ---**
    Wherever light strikes,
    there are always shadows.
**[10:43] ---**
    So long as there is
    a concept of victors…
**[10:46] ---**
    the vanquished will also similarly exist.
**[10:49] ---**
    The selfish intent of wanting
    to preserve peace initiates wars.
**[10:53] ---**
    And hatred is born in order
    to protect love.
**[10:57] ---**
    These are all nexuses,
**[10:59] ---**
    causal relationships
    that cannot be separated.
**[11:02] ---**
    *Normally, that is.*
**[11:04] ---**
    But a world of just victors,
    peace and love…
**[11:10] ---**
    such a world can be created too.
**[11:13] ---**
    If you allow us to collaborate,
    you can learn how.
**[11:18] ---**
    As soon as you attain
    the true power of the Rinnegan….
**[11:22] ---**
    Your very own world can
    be immediately actualized.
**[11:26] ---**
    Now…
**[11:29] ---**
    I can't do that.
**[11:32] ---**
    You're just trying to use us.
**[11:34] ---**
    Your offer sounds way
    too convenient.
**[11:40] ---**
    One can only reach
    the true world
**[11:42] ---**
    after knowing another's pain
    and shedding tears alongside them.
**[11:48] ---**
    Shedding tears alongside them, huh?
**[11:50] ---**
    You mean in revenge?
**[11:53] ---**
    No, that's not what I meant.
**[11:55] ---**
    I meant in mutual understanding.
**[11:58] ---**
    Stop talking so idealistically.
**[12:01] ---**
    No such thing exists
    in this world.
**[12:04] ---**
    Let's go, Konan… Nagato.
**[12:07] ---**
    We can't trust these guys!
**[12:11] ---**
    Don't you dare approach us again!
**[12:19] ---**
    I'll wait here at
    the same time every day.
**[12:22] ---**
    You'll eventually realize it too.
**[12:51] ---**
    Who the hell are you?!
**[12:54] ---**
    The bodyguards of this village.
**[12:57] ---**
    This is a warning.
**[12:59] ---**
    Leave this village now!
**[13:02] ---**
    The hell with them…
    Let's kill em!
**[13:08] ---**
    Water Style: Raging Waves!
**[13:16] ---**
    Wind Style: Gale Palm!
**[13:22] ---**
    Damn! We can't get near them!
**[13:25] ---**
    Die!
**[13:30] ---**
    Take one step and I'll skewer you!
**[13:35] ---**
    We won't let you take
    a single step into this village!
**[13:38] ---**
    Give up now!
**[13:44] ---**
    *Is it because of the rain?!*
**[13:45] ---**
    *Now's my chance!*
**[13:54] ---**
    Sorry! Are you okay?
**[13:59] ---**
    Damn it! There's no end to this!
**[14:01] ---**
    I didn't want to use this, but…
**[14:16] ---**
    Do you belong to Hanzo's gang?!
**[14:19] ---**
    We're wearing his headband,
    but we're not his subordinates.
**[14:22] ---**
    But some day,
**[14:24] ---**
    we want to bring peace to
    the world just like Hanzo.
**[14:29] ---**
    In other words,
    you're just his copycats.
**[14:32] ---**
    We're not copycats!
**[14:34] ---**
    We will keep peace
    in this village!
**[14:37] ---**
    Not through violence,
    but through negotiations!
**[14:39] ---**
    Are you crazy?
**[14:41] ---**
    This village lies between
    two great nations!
**[14:44] ---**
    As long as they're at war
    with each other,
**[14:46] ---**
    the fighting won't end!
**[14:49] ---**
    The strong will take everything
    from the weak!
**[14:52] ---**
    That's how the world is!
**[14:54] ---**
    We're fighting to change
    that way of thinking!
**[14:58] ---**
    Each one of you must
    secretly wish for peace!
**[15:03] ---**
    Listen. One piece of straw is weak…
**[15:07] ---**
    But when you put three together,
    it becomes much…
**[15:11] ---**
    Damn it!
    I'm just trying to say,
**[15:13] ---**
    the more you have,
    the stronger it is!
**[15:16] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[15:17] ---**
    You're so bad at
    making speeches…
**[15:20] ---**
    Whatever!
**[15:21] ---**
    Look, we're not gonna kill you.
**[15:24] ---**
    Just get out of here!
**[15:27] ---**
    I won't guarantee that
    we won't attack again!
**[15:31] ---**
    Fine. We'll do this dozens
    of times until you give up…
**[15:35] ---**
    A hundred times, even.
**[15:37] ---**
    But just remember,
    it'll be more painful the next time!
**[15:42] ---**
    Retreat!
**[15:46] ---**
    Earlier, when you tried to attack me,
    you protected the kid.
**[15:49] ---**
    Thank you.
**[15:51] ---**
    We're war orphans too.
**[16:01] ---**
    You're such funny kids…
**[16:03] ---**
    You appear out of nowhere
    and ask to protect this village.
**[16:08] ---**
    It's to change this land.
**[16:11] ---**
    War will never leave this land.
**[16:15] ---**
    Nothing will change.
**[16:17] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[16:21] ---**
    Seems like things are changing,
    little by little.
**[16:28] ---**
    We're ninja who left the village
**[16:30] ---**
    because we didn't think
    much of Hanzo's ways.
**[16:35] ---**
    But we were getting sick
    of this lifestyle too.
**[16:40] ---**
    I looked into your eyes
**[16:42] ---**
    and began to feel like
    starting over again…
**[16:46] ---**
    But I don't feel like
    going back to Hanzo.
**[16:50] ---**
    So take us in as your lackeys!
**[16:53] ---**
    No!
**[16:54] ---**
    What?! But earlier, you…!
**[16:56] ---**
    Not as lackeys,
    but as comrades.
**[17:01] ---**
    I'm Yahiko.
    This is Nagato and Konan.
**[17:06] ---**
    I'm Kyusuke the Swift.
**[17:09] ---**
    If you need to gather intel,
    you can leave it to these fast legs.
**[17:13] ---**
    Then go and find me other villages
    that are suffering like this one.
**[17:24] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[17:25] ---**
    What?
**[17:26] ---**
    You should name our group.
**[17:30] ---**
    There are more of us now.
    It's gonna be necessary soon.
**[17:36] ---**
    A name…
**[17:42] ---**
    How about…the Akatsuki.
**[17:45] ---**
    This nation weeps from
    the sufferings of war.
**[17:50] ---**
    So we will change this nation…
**[17:53] ---**
    no, this world,
    and welcome a new dawn!
**[17:56] ---**
    Akatsuki…
**[17:58] ---**
    That's a great name.
**[18:00] ---**
    Akatsuki! It's decided!
**[18:03] ---**
    – Yeah!
    – Yeah!
**[18:18] ---**
    It's like…
    the Akatsuki suddenly grew.
**[18:23] ---**
    They all bought into your dream.
**[18:26] ---**
    Actually, they're all tired of war.
**[18:30] ---**
    If everyone unites,
    I know we can have peace.
**[18:35] ---**
    Say, where's Konan?
**[18:37] ---**
    She went out a while ago.
**[18:39] ---**
    Why?
**[18:41] ---**
    I dunno…
**[18:45] ---**
    This is…
**[18:46] ---**
    Konan's…
**[18:50] ---**
    "Dear Konan…"
**[18:53] ---**
    "From the first moment I saw you…"
**[18:56] ---**
    Is this…?!
**[18:58] ---**
    It's a love letter.
**[19:00] ---**
    "I've wanted to ask you
    how you feel about me."
**[19:02] ---**
    "I'll be waiting anxiously
    on the back terrace… Kyusuke."
**[19:08] ---**
    Don't tell me…
    Konan's gone over there?!
**[19:11] ---**
    I dunno…
**[19:18] ---**
    Yahiko, didn't you have
    something to do?
**[19:21] ---**
    Huh?!
**[19:22] ---**
    Oh yeah, yeah! I forgot.
    I need to go to the john!
**[19:26] ---**
    I'm gonna wet myself!
**[19:36] ---**
    That guy!
**[19:38] ---**
    Running's not the only thing
    he's fast at!
**[19:41] ---**
    More friends also means…
**[19:43] ---**
    more competition in love!
**[19:46] ---**
    No kidding…
**[19:48] ---**
    Hey, Nagato!
**[19:50] ---**
    Do you like Konan, Yahiko?
**[19:54] ---**
    Stupid! It's nothing like that!
**[19:57] ---**
    I think Konan likes you.
**[20:00] ---**
    Huh?!
**[20:04] ---**
    Oh, she's coming back.
**[20:07] ---**
    I know you're there…
**[20:09] ---**
    Yahiko, Nagato.
**[20:12] ---**
    Konan…
**[20:13] ---**
    What did you tell him?
**[20:15] ---**
    I told him that I don't have time
    for a relationship
**[20:18] ---**
    until we make
    the Akatsuki's dream come true.
**[20:21] ---**
    Isn't that right?
**[20:23] ---**
    Konan…
**[20:25] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[20:27] ---**
    Can you help me out with
    some training?
**[20:32] ---**
    That jutsu…doesn't work…
**[20:33] ---**
    in the rain!
**[20:46] ---**
    Oiled paper…
**[20:48] ---**
    Great idea.
**[20:49] ---**
    I experimented.
**[20:51] ---**
    If you hesitate,
    I'll leave you behind!
**[20:55] ---**
    Like I'd let you!
**[22:37] ---**
    Hanzo is setting an example
    for us shinobi
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    by fighting to bring peace
    to this world.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    We will prove that the Akatsuki
    will surpass him one day!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    I approve of an organization
    that seeks
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    to resolve issues
    through pacifist means.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It will help realize my dream
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    of uniting the Five Nations
    without force.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Creeping Shadow."
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    So they are the apprentices
    of that brat!
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    CREEPING SHADOW
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Creeping Shadow*
    
    
    
**[01:38] ---**
    Jiraiya Sensei…
**[01:39] ---**
    What is it, Kakashi?
**[01:42] ---**
    There's something I'd like to tell you.
**[01:44] ---**
    Is it urgent? I'm kind of busy now.
**[01:50] ---**
    There you go again,
    sounding so dejected, Kakashi.
**[01:55] ---**
    No matter how difficult something is,
**[01:56] ---**
    when you make things seem
    like such a drag,
**[01:59] ---**
    you make the people
    around you uncomfortable.
**[02:02] ---**
    I'm sorry to have bothered you.
**[02:04] ---**
    Wait, wait. You're here now. Speak.
**[02:09] ---**
    But…
**[02:10] ---**
    I don't want to interrupt
    when you have important business…
**[02:13] ---**
    SPECIAL SWIMSUIT EDITION
    
    On second thought, there is nothing
    more important than you.
**[02:18] ---**
    I know you.
**[02:20] ---**
    You haven't spoken to
    anyone today, have you?
**[02:23] ---**
    You know…
**[02:25] ---**
    people should talk to others every day,
    even if it's small talk.
**[02:29] ---**
    Otherwise, their hearts will grow
    dark and serious.
**[02:31] ---**
    Talking to others builds bonds,
**[02:36] ---**
    and makes you feel grateful
    that you're alive.
**[02:39] ---**
    That's the kind of creatures
    we humans are.
**[02:44] ---**
    So, what happened?
**[02:47] ---**
    Well…
**[02:48] ---**
    It's regarding the three children
**[02:51] ---**
    from the Hidden Rain
    you once taught, Jiraiya Sensei.
**[02:54] ---**
    Oh, you mean Yahiko, Nagato
    and Konan?
**[03:00] ---**
    Yes.
**[03:02] ---**
    Recently, they have been trying to bring
    about change in Hidden Rain Village.
**[03:05] ---**
    Or so I heard.
**[03:08] ---**
    Without using military might,
    but through dialogue.
**[03:12] ---**
    Oh?
**[03:19] ---**
    NAGATO YAHIKO
    
    
**[03:32] ---**
    NAGATO YAHIKO KONAN
    Those three, eh…
**[03:35] ---**
    I see. So they've started walking
    on their own feet.
**[03:39] ---**
    How would you describe them?
**[03:45] ---**
    *He's curious about strangers…*
    *Now that's a good sign!*
**[03:50] ---**
    Yahiko is passionate and
    completely one-track minded.
**[03:58] ---**
    *I want to become stronger!*
**[04:01] ---**
    *And then…*
**[04:03] ---**
    *And then,*
    *I'm going to change the world!*
**[04:07] ---**
    Konan is a girl who never
    shows her emotions.
**[04:12] ---**
    But she was pretty and very talented.
**[04:15] ---**
    She must've grown into a beauty.
**[04:20] ---**
    As for Nagato…
**[04:31] ---**
    What happened?
**[04:33] ---**
    He…
**[04:34] ---**
    He's a remnant shinobi who told us
    to hand over our food and valuables…
**[04:39] ---**
    But then Nagato…
**[04:50] ---**
    What is it, Nagato?
**[04:56] ---**
    Jiraiya Sensei…
**[05:00] ---**
    I'm…
**[05:02] ---**
    I'm scared of myself.
**[05:04] ---**
    What I did… Was it wrong?
**[05:08] ---**
    I really don’t know…
    if it was right or wrong.
**[05:13] ---**
    But thanks to you,
    Yahiko didn’t die.
**[05:17] ---**
    You protected your friend.
**[05:19] ---**
    That had to be the right thing to do.
**[05:23] ---**
    No one can blame you for that.
**[05:27] ---**
    When you are hurt,
    you learn to hate.
**[05:29] ---**
    On the other hand, when you hurt someone,
    you are resented.
**[05:32] ---**
    But you start to feel guilty as well.
**[05:35] ---**
    Understanding such pain
    enables you to be kind to others…
**[05:41] ---**
    By understanding pain, humans grow.
**[05:45] ---**
    By knowing pain, thinking about it
    and figuring out what to do.
**[05:50] ---**
    That is what growing up is all about.
**[05:56] ---**
    I just want to protect those two.
**[06:00] ---**
    No matter what kind of pain
    I have to endure.
**[06:06] ---**
    I see.
**[06:09] ---**
    What are you always
    thinking about, Sensei?
**[06:15] ---**
    There is so much war in this world.
**[06:18] ---**
    Only hatred exists.
**[06:20] ---**
    I want to do something about it.
**[06:26] ---**
    And to know what the answer
    to true peace is…
**[06:36] ---**
    Jiraiya Sensei…
**[06:37] ---**
    Hmm? Oh…
**[06:39] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[06:43] ---**
    Nagato was a youth who could have been
    the hero in my novels.
**[06:49] ---**
    The hero in your novel?
**[06:51] ---**
    As long as I'm alive,
    there's a chance I'll see him…
**[06:57] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[06:59] ---**
    Hurry and become a man
    who can be a hero in my novels.
**[07:11] ---**
    Brother, we have a lot of requests.
**[07:14] ---**
    I don't know if I can fulfill them all.
**[07:16] ---**
    We'll do them all.
**[07:17] ---**
    If there are people in need,
    we'll save all of them.
**[07:20] ---**
    That's the purpose of the Akatsuki.
**[07:23] ---**
    At this rate, it would be great if we had
    an organization as big as Hanzo's.
**[07:27] ---**
    Hanzo is setting an example
    for us shinobi
**[07:30] ---**
    by fighting to bring peace to this world.
**[07:34] ---**
    We will prove that the Akatsuki
    can surpass him one day!
**[07:43] ---**
    Akatsuki?
**[07:45] ---**
    Yes… I'm hearing rumors
    here and there lately.
**[07:48] ---**
    Hmm… To think there are shinobi
    like them in our village…
**[07:52] ---**
    I approve of an organization that seeks to
    resolve issues through pacifistic means.
**[07:56] ---**
    It will help realize my dream of uniting
    the Five Nations without force.
**[08:01] ---**
    But they sure made
    a sudden appearance.
**[08:04] ---**
    Is there someone behind them?
**[08:06] ---**
    According to rumors, they're pupils of
    Jiraiya of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[08:10] ---**
    Jiraiya? One of the Leaf's Sannin?
**[08:13] ---**
    Yes. After he fought you, Master Hanzo,
**[08:17] ---**
    Jiraiya stayed in this area for about three
    years, teaching ninjutsu to war orphans.
**[08:28] ---**
    So they are the apprentices of that brat!
**[08:32] ---**
    The compassion to help people…
**[08:34] ---**
    Akatsuki could just be the repayment of
    a favor that's finally come around.
**[08:45] ---**
    Say, Brother Yahiko…
**[08:47] ---**
    Seems villages along the border
    are being attacked lately.
**[08:51] ---**
    What is that about?
**[08:52] ---**
    It's hard to tell for sure since they're in
    out of the way places with little contact.
**[08:57] ---**
    But it seems the border
    with the Land of Earth is pretty bad.
**[09:01] ---**
    That's the Seventh Ward…
**[09:03] ---**
    Shall we go and check, Nagato, Konan?
**[09:05] ---**
    Yes.
**[09:06] ---**
    Kyusuke, Daibutsu…
**[09:08] ---**
    Keep an eye on things in our absence.
**[09:09] ---**
    You got it.
**[09:11] ---**
    Leave it to us, Brother!
**[09:18] ---**
    How terrible…
**[09:20] ---**
    Who would do such a thing?
**[09:22] ---**
    This is far worse than anything
    we've ever handled.
**[09:28] ---**
    Who's there?! Come out!
**[09:38] ---**
    Who are you guys?
**[09:40] ---**
    Akatsuki.
**[09:42] ---**
    Akatsuki?
**[09:44] ---**
    You seem to be shinobi
    from the Hidden Rain.
**[09:47] ---**
    We are an organization working
    to bring peace to this village.
**[09:51] ---**
    We heard this area was under attack,
    so we came to investigate.
**[09:54] ---**
    Who did this?
**[09:56] ---**
    – What do we do?
    – Can we trust them?
**[09:59] ---**
    The Hidden Stone.
**[10:00] ---**
    The Hidden Stone?
**[10:01] ---**
    No way!
**[10:02] ---**
    I heard that the Stone and
    the Leaf are negotiating a cease-fire.
**[10:07] ---**
    How the hell should I know!
**[10:09] ---**
    Look at this village!
**[10:11] ---**
    The Hidden Stone ravaged
    this entire area one after another!
**[10:14] ---**
    What do you plan to do
    with such weapons?
**[10:18] ---**
    Fight! What else?
**[10:20] ---**
    We've already formed an alliance!
**[10:23] ---**
    Hold on! That will only cause
    more casualties!
**[10:27] ---**
    Then what are we supposed to do?
**[10:28] ---**
    Are you telling us to sit here
    and wait for our turn to die?!
**[10:32] ---**
    We'll go talk about this
    with the Hidden Stone.
**[10:35] ---**
    What?
**[10:36] ---**
    If we acknowledge their pain too,
    then we can speak honestly.
**[10:40] ---**
    They're sure to understand!
**[10:41] ---**
    Enough with your ideals!
**[10:43] ---**
    What about getting even
    for our friends who were killed?!
**[10:48] ---**
    Only by understanding the pain of others
    and shedding tears like them
**[10:52] ---**
    can we get close to the real world…
**[10:56] ---**
    *Shedding tears with them?*
**[10:58] ---**
    *So you mean revenge?*
**[11:01] ---**
    *No, that's not what I meant.*
**[11:03] ---**
    *I meant understanding each other.*
**[11:06] ---**
    *Stop talking so idealistically.*
**[11:09] ---**
    *There's no such thing in this world.*
**[11:12] ---**
    What's going on?
**[11:14] ---**
    If this goes on, the peace between
    the Stone and Leaf will be shattered.
**[11:19] ---**
    Maybe the Hidden Stone aren't unified.
**[11:22] ---**
    Maybe the leaders are pursuing peace,
**[11:24] ---**
    but the shinobi under them
    don't want it.
**[11:27] ---**
    It could also be the work
    of Rogue Ninja.
**[11:31] ---**
    Whatever the case, we must settle this
    quickly with the Hidden Stone!
**[11:36] ---**
    Scatter!
**[11:39] ---**
    What?!
**[11:44] ---**
    So many waiting to ambush us!
**[11:47] ---**
    Wait!
**[11:49] ---**
    You're Hidden Stone Shinobi, right?
**[11:51] ---**
    We are the Akatsuki,
    shinobi from the Hidden Rain!
**[11:54] ---**
    We've come to talk!
**[11:58] ---**
    Damn!
**[11:59] ---**
    They refuse to talk!
**[12:01] ---**
    What do we do, Yahiko?
**[12:02] ---**
    Our goal is negotiation, at all cost!
**[12:06] ---**
    Do not kill them!
**[12:15] ---**
    *This can't be real!*
**[12:17] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[12:23] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[12:24] ---**
    Konan!
**[12:52] ---**
    *Who's there?!*
**[12:55] ---**
    *Damn! The enemy?!*
**[12:57] ---**
    *Run now!*
**[12:59] ---**
    *Nagato, go!*
**[13:09] ---**
    *Nagato… Hurry… Get away…*
**[13:16] ---**
    *Run, Nagato!*
**[13:19] ---**
    *Run away! Hurry!*
**[13:49] ---**
    Nagato!
**[13:50] ---**
    Stop, Nagato!
**[13:52] ---**
    Stop!
**[13:53] ---**
    Stop it, Nagato!
**[13:56] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[14:02] ---**
    We retreat for now!
**[14:12] ---**
    So that was the power
    of the Rinnegan…
**[14:15] ---**
    Such a frightening power.
**[14:18] ---**
    What should we do?
**[14:19] ---**
    If the Akatsuki start moving,
**[14:22] ---**
    our other teams disguised as shinobi
    from the other side will be in danger.
**[14:25] ---**
    For the future of the Hidden Leaf,
**[14:27] ---**
    peace must not exist
    with the Hidden Stone.
**[14:30] ---**
    This strategy was precisely
    to obstruct peace.
**[14:36] ---**
    Perhaps we can use that power.
**[14:39] ---**
    Collect all of the corpses here!
**[14:41] ---**
    Get rid of any traces of the Hidden Leaf!
**[14:44] ---**
    Sir!
**[14:48] ---**
    Danzo, huh…
**[14:50] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf is working
    behind the scenes…
**[14:58] ---**
    Nagato…
**[14:59] ---**
    Yahiko… That jutsu that
    Nagato used earlier…
**[15:03] ---**
    It's probably a jutsu he can perform
    because he has the Rinnegan.
**[15:06] ---**
    That's…
**[15:08] ---**
    Yeah, I felt it.
**[15:10] ---**
    It was just like that time…
**[15:20] ---**
    That intense desire to kill made
    my hairs stand on end…
**[15:23] ---**
    That power is not of this world.
**[15:26] ---**
    We must not let Nagato use it!
**[15:28] ---**
    If he does… I think it will kill him.
**[15:52] ---**
    Konan, where's Yahiko?
**[15:55] ---**
    He went to look for food.
**[15:57] ---**
    Oh…
**[16:00] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[16:03] ---**
    I'm scared…of my power.
**[16:08] ---**
    Nagato…
**[16:10] ---**
    Before, I had Jiraiya Sensei.
**[16:14] ---**
    I'm positive he taught me ninjutsu
    so that I could control this power.
**[16:20] ---**
    But Jiraiya Sensei is no longer here…
**[16:24] ---**
    Yes, Jiraiya Sensei is gone…
**[16:28] ---**
    But…
**[16:30] ---**
    You have us.
**[16:32] ---**
    We'll control your power.
**[16:35] ---**
    For as long as it takes…
**[16:37] ---**
    Konan…
**[16:56] ---**
    Be careful, Yahiko.
**[16:59] ---**
    You don't need to see me off!
**[17:01] ---**
    See to Nagato's wound, will you?
**[17:05] ---**
    From now on,
    save your worrying for him.
**[17:09] ---**
    Nagato is the keystone of the Akatsuki!
**[17:12] ---**
    He's the one who will change
    this nation…this world.
**[17:16] ---**
    The same can be said of you…
**[17:18] ---**
    Everyone respects and admires you.
**[17:22] ---**
    Nagato is no different.
**[17:26] ---**
    Nagato is going to be
    the bridge to peace.
**[17:32] ---**
    My role is to be a pillar
    that supports that bridge.
**[17:38] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[17:42] ---**
    This nation continues to weep.
**[17:46] ---**
    It continues to endure pain.
**[17:49] ---**
    I used to hate this land that
    cries all the time.
**[17:54] ---**
    But now, I want to save it.
**[17:57] ---**
    It's what I want with all my heart.
**[18:02] ---**
    It reminds me of the crybaby
    that I used to be and I can't ignore it.
**[18:07] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[18:11] ---**
    Be careful.
**[18:14] ---**
    He is the bridge to peace.…
**[18:17] ---**
    His will itself is the bridge.
**[18:21] ---**
    Nagato…
**[18:23] ---**
    We believe in Yahiko!
**[18:25] ---**
    Let's go, everyone!
**[18:27] ---**
    Right!
**[18:40] ---**
    What made this happen?
**[18:45] ---**
    It was too late when we found them.
**[18:48] ---**
    We were on the way to a peace conference
    with the Land of Earth…
**[18:51] ---**
    We recognized them
    as members of your clan, and…
**[18:56] ---**
    Lord Danzo, did you see the perpetrators?
**[19:00] ---**
    No doubt it was the Akatsuki.
**[19:03] ---**
    Akatsuki?! But the Akatsuki is…
**[19:06] ---**
    A group that expounds peace
**[19:08] ---**
    and has been growing in influence
    lately in this village.
**[19:11] ---**
    Yes, I hear they are an organization
    that shares my will!
**[19:16] ---**
    So why…?
**[19:19] ---**
    Hanzo, you left them on their own too long.
**[19:23] ---**
    What?
**[19:25] ---**
    It's fine to be idealistic.
**[19:28] ---**
    However, therein lies your weakness.
**[19:31] ---**
    My weakness?
**[19:34] ---**
    Because of your high ideals,
**[19:37] ---**
    you are blind to those
    with similar motives.
**[19:40] ---**
    But they became the enemy
    and turned against you.
**[19:44] ---**
    That is what caused this tragedy.
**[19:47] ---**
    However noble your ideals,
    not everyone will buy into them.
**[19:53] ---**
    They may act like
    they share your hopes,
**[19:56] ---**
    but they're just a disorderly mob.
**[19:59] ---**
    Ultimately, they'll be obsessed
    by greed and power
**[20:01] ---**
    turn into a cast of evil across the land.
**[20:04] ---**
    Cast off the sheep's clothing
    from the Akatsuki
**[20:06] ---**
    and you'll find they're just wolves
    out to take over the village too.
**[20:10] ---**
    Lord Hanzo…
**[20:14] ---**
    If nothing is done,
    they will take over this village.
**[20:24] ---**
    Danzo of the Hidden Leaf, huh?
**[20:26] ---**
    An interesting person
    has started taking action.
**[20:28] ---**
    Just like Obito said,
    the clouds are moving strangely.
**[20:33] ---**
    There is no such thing as peace
    in this world.
**[20:35] ---**
    That is the reality.
**[20:37] ---**
    Reality is like this grand river
    that flows here.
**[20:41] ---**
    No matter how hard one tries to stop it,
**[20:43] ---**
    reality will swallow you up whole
    and mercilessly crush you.
**[20:48] ---**
    There is only way to escape that suffering.
**[20:54] ---**
    That is the Infinite Tsukuyomi,
    Project Tsuki no Me!
**[22:37] ---**
    Nagato, reality is
    moving ahead quickly.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Coordinate your actions with me.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    What Yahiko talks about
    are just ideals.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    No matter what you say,
    I believe in Yahiko's ideals!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Even though you possess the Rinnegan,
    you still think like an average person.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The New Akatsuki"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Very well…
    Go see reality for yourself!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THE NEW AKATSUKI
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The New Akatsuki*
    
    
    
**[01:44] ---**
    Everyone is growing weary
    of fighting.
**[01:47] ---**
    Yes…
**[01:49] ---**
    Even if we win,
**[01:50] ---**
    the Akatsuki doesn't receive
    any rewards…
**[01:54] ---**
    The only things we have
    are our ideals.
**[01:58] ---**
    In time, pent-up weariness
    will erase that ideal.
**[02:02] ---**
    Are you saying that everyone will
    soon forget what they're fighting for?
**[02:09] ---**
    Nagato…
**[02:10] ---**
    Will you become the leader
    of the Akatsuki?
**[02:14] ---**
    Huh?
**[02:15] ---**
    I'm not…cut out to be a leader.
**[02:20] ---**
    That day…
**[02:23] ---**
    I killed someone for the first time.
**[02:28] ---**
    The feeling of that moment
    hasn't left these hands.
**[02:31] ---**
    And I can't stop trembling!
**[02:34] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[02:37] ---**
    But you're different.
**[02:39] ---**
    You have the mark of a hero…
**[02:42] ---**
    A special symbol known
    as the Rinnegan…
**[02:46] ---**
    that will become
    everyone's new ideal.
**[02:48] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[02:50] ---**
    Are you going to take advantage
    of my Rinnegan?
**[02:55] ---**
    I'm scared of myself.
**[02:58] ---**
    I've suffered so long because
    of these eyes.
**[03:01] ---**
    I know…
**[03:03] ---**
    But you have someone who can
    keep that power in check for you.
**[03:08] ---**
    Konan will always be at your side.
**[03:11] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[03:16] ---**
    Hey, Brother! Big news!
**[03:18] ---**
    What's going on?
**[03:19] ---**
    A messenger from Hanzo is here.
**[03:29] ---**
    Are you Yahiko,
    the leader of the Akatsuki?
**[03:33] ---**
    Yes, I am.
**[03:35] ---**
    I am Kanzo, a trusted friend
    of Hanzo of the Salamander.
**[03:41] ---**
    I've heard many rumors
    about you Akatsuki…
**[03:45] ---**
    How you seek peace without
    relying on military weapons.
**[03:49] ---**
    That is the Akatsuki's founding principle.
**[03:52] ---**
    Hanzo asked me to deliver
    a confidential letter to you.
**[03:56] ---**
    Please…
**[04:13] ---**
    Is he serious?
**[04:15] ---**
    He would like to
    meet you personally.
**[04:19] ---**
    Hanzo has given the Akatsuki
    his seal of approval.
**[04:29] ---**
    In time…
**[04:30] ---**
    Hanzo will leave you to handle
    the peace negotiations
**[04:33] ---**
    between the three nations
    that surround the Hidden Rain.
**[04:37] ---**
    Handle the negotiations
    between the three nations…?
**[04:39] ---**
    That's amazing, Brother!
**[04:42] ---**
    Please relay to Lord Hanzo
    that I accept.
**[04:52] ---**
    That means we can help people
    out in the open!
**[04:58] ---**
    So many gave their lives
    for us to get to this point.
**[05:02] ---**
    Finally, we'll be able to
    face them with pride.
**[05:06] ---**
    Yahiko, your determination to free others
    from pain reached Hanzo.
**[05:13] ---**
    Look…
**[05:18] ---**
    The Akatsuki's ideals
    have been restored.
**[05:21] ---**
    There was never a need
    for a symbol.
**[05:26] ---**
    We'll all follow your dream,
    no matter where that leads us.
**[05:30] ---**
    Nagato…
**[05:35] ---**
    We weren't wrong!
**[05:44] ---**
    Nagato and I will go to
    the meeting tomorrow with Lord Hanzo.
**[05:48] ---**
    Are you sure, Brother?
    We'll all go with you…
**[05:51] ---**
    No, that's not necessary.
**[05:53] ---**
    Lord Hanzo will be shocked if
    too many of us show up.
**[05:58] ---**
    I know, but…
**[06:00] ---**
    By the way, where's Konan?
**[06:02] ---**
    She went to patrol
    the Seventh Ward.
**[06:05] ---**
    She won't be back until
    tomorrow morning.
**[06:07] ---**
    I see… On such a special day too.
**[06:10] ---**
    Anyway… Today, the Akatsuki took
    a giant step forward!
**[06:14] ---**
    Everyone! Set aside your duties
    for today and celebrate!
**[06:29] ---**
    The Akatsuki brats aren't suspicious
    at all, are they?
**[06:34] ---**
    Of course not.
**[06:36] ---**
    If the one called Yahiko is killed,
    the Akatsuki will naturally die off.
**[06:42] ---**
    And what of your plans?
**[06:45] ---**
    No need to worry.
**[07:08] ---**
    Who could have…?
**[07:14] ---**
    This is…!
**[07:28] ---**
    We should be securing
    the hostage right about now.
**[07:33] ---**
    With this, that lawless gang that
    threatens the village will disappear,
**[07:37] ---**
    and the Hidden Rain will be yours.
**[07:56] ---**
    We finally made it up to this point.
**[07:59] ---**
    Nagato.
**[08:01] ---**
    You're—!
**[08:03] ---**
    Reality is moving ahead quickly.
**[08:06] ---**
    Cut your ties with Yahiko immediately
    and join me.
**[08:11] ---**
    Otherwise, you will all…
**[08:13] ---**
    We will what?
**[08:16] ---**
    What Yahiko speaks of
    are just ideals.
**[08:19] ---**
    He tries to understand others' pain…
**[08:21] ---**
    but they do not even attempt
    to know our pain.
**[08:25] ---**
    Furthermore, this world has
    no desire for that either.
**[08:30] ---**
    That is reality.
**[08:32] ---**
    You possess the Rinnegan,
    so you should understand.
**[08:38] ---**
    No matter what you say,
**[08:40] ---**
    I believe in Yahiko's ideals!
**[08:47] ---**
    I guess without pain…
    you cannot experience reality.
**[08:52] ---**
    In that respect, even though
    you possess the Rinnegan,
**[08:55] ---**
    you still think like
    an average person.
**[09:00] ---**
    Very well…
**[09:02] ---**
    Go see reality for yourself,
    and experience pain.
**[09:17] ---**
    There you are, Nagato.
**[09:19] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[09:21] ---**
    Was someone just here?
**[09:22] ---**
    No…
**[09:24] ---**
    Let's get going.
**[09:26] ---**
    Or we'll be late for the meeting
    with Lord Hanzo.
**[09:29] ---**
    Right, let's go!
**[09:40] ---**
    Oww!
**[09:42] ---**
    What's the big idea?
    I was having a nice nap!
**[09:48] ---**
    What?
**[09:51] ---**
    Hey! Where'd Brothers Yahiko
    and Nagato go?!
**[09:55] ---**
    I think they left already.
**[09:58] ---**
    The meeting with Hanzo is today.
**[10:00] ---**
    Wake the guys up!
    We have to catch up with them!
**[10:03] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[10:04] ---**
    I'll tell you later!
**[10:08] ---**
    What's going on anyway?
**[10:10] ---**
    We just received word
**[10:12] ---**
    from a member of
    the Hidden Leaf border team.
**[10:15] ---**
    The Leaf's ANBU Black Ops are
    on their way to Hanzo's as well.
**[10:19] ---**
    The Leaf's ANBU?
**[10:21] ---**
    Why are they going to Hanzo's?
**[10:23] ---**
    I don't know the specifics.
**[10:26] ---**
    But I just don't like the timing
    of it all, you know?
**[10:28] ---**
    And when you think about it…
**[10:30] ---**
    this thing with Hanzo just sounds
    too good to be true.
**[10:34] ---**
    Then that means...
    today's meeting with Hanzo is…
**[10:38] ---**
    Whatever it is,
    we need to let Brothers know!
**[10:45] ---**
    As much as I regret it,
    I can't let you go any further.
**[10:50] ---**
    Who are you?!
**[10:52] ---**
    My name is Madara Uchiha…
**[10:55] ---**
    Damn you! Did Hanzo send you?
**[10:59] ---**
    I don't work for Hanzo.
**[11:01] ---**
    But I can't let you interfere right now.
**[11:06] ---**
    I want Nagato to see
    what reality is.
**[11:10] ---**
    We don't have time for
    your nonsense.
**[11:13] ---**
    Kill them!
**[11:15] ---**
    You take care of the weaklings.
**[11:17] ---**
    You sure like to order me around!
**[11:28] ---**
    I'm Kyusuke the Swift!
    Don't underestimate my speed!
**[11:49] ---**
    I slipped right through him?
**[11:51] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[11:54] ---**
    Kyusuke!
**[11:57] ---**
    You bastards!
**[11:59] ---**
    Why…are you…doing this?
**[12:03] ---**
    I'm going to awaken Nagato's Rinnegan
    in the truest sense possible.
**[12:07] ---**
    What're you talking about?
**[12:10] ---**
    There is no such thing as peace
    in this accursed world.
**[12:14] ---**
    Nagato must abandon this dream
    and set out into a new world.
**[12:19] ---**
    I'm not going to let you!
**[12:23] ---**
    Daibutsu!
**[12:24] ---**
    Now! Go right through me!
**[12:28] ---**
    Hurry!
**[12:30] ---**
    I'll see you in the next world!
**[12:43] ---**
    The Water Prison Jutsu?
**[12:45] ---**
    You can't beat me with a jutsu like this!
**[12:50] ---**
    *This is no ordinary Water Prison.*
**[13:01] ---**
    *This is cement!*
**[13:03] ---**
    *For the first time in*
    *my dismal life as a war orphan…*
**[13:06] ---**
    *I found hope in the Akatsuki!*
**[13:11] ---**
    *You think…I'd let some bastard*
    *like you take that away?!*
**[13:17] ---**
    *He's sacrificing his life*
    *in this attack…*
**[13:20] ---**
    *But, as expected,*
    *we're literally in different dimensions.*
**[13:23] ---**
    No way!
**[13:32] ---**
    Kyusuke…
**[13:34] ---**
    Your death will not be…
**[13:36] ---**
    Owww…
**[13:38] ---**
    The outer skin hardened…
**[13:39] ---**
    and peeled off, and it stings!
**[13:46] ---**
    Sorry, but this is the end for all of you.
**[14:08] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[14:11] ---**
    Yeah.
**[14:13] ---**
    Come, we have to hurry!
**[14:15] ---**
    We have to witness Nagato's destiny!
**[14:45] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[14:47] ---**
    You are the leader,
    so you must die.
**[14:51] ---**
    If you resist, this woman will die.
**[15:01] ---**
    You! The red-haired one.
**[15:03] ---**
    Use that to kill Yahiko.
**[15:06] ---**
    Then I will spare you and the woman.
**[15:09] ---**
    Don't, Nagato!
**[15:11] ---**
    Never mind me!
    Both of you escape!
**[15:15] ---**
    Nagato.
**[15:19] ---**
    Kill me.
**[15:23] ---**
    Nagato!
**[15:24] ---**
    No!
**[15:25] ---**
    Hurry it up.
**[15:27] ---**
    Or do you want this woman to die?!
**[15:48] ---**
    Konan…
**[15:52] ---**
    Yahi—
**[16:11] ---**
    You and Konan…must survive,
    no matter what it takes.
**[16:17] ---**
    You are…
**[16:19] ---**
    the savior…of this world.
**[16:22] ---**
    I know…you can…
**[16:26] ---**
    do it.
**[16:30] ---**
    Yahiko!
**[16:44] ---**
    Kill them!
**[16:52] ---**
    He repelled it!
**[16:53] ---**
    How?!
**[17:18] ---**
    Did we get him?
**[17:31] ---**
    Nagato…
**[17:33] ---**
    Konan, hold onto Yahiko
    and stay still.
**[17:36] ---**
    Not bad, kid!
**[17:38] ---**
    You escaped even while being hit
    by my Fire Style Jutsu!
**[17:46] ---**
    You're…no ordinary kid.
**[17:50] ---**
    Those eyes…
**[17:52] ---**
    Get him!
**[17:54] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[17:55] ---**
    Gedo Statue!
**[18:08] ---**
    There it is!
**[18:09] ---**
    So he summoned it.
    It's the Ten Tails' husk…
**[18:13] ---**
    What…is that?!
**[18:15] ---**
    Nagato... No! Don't use that!
**[18:42] ---**
    We're dead if that touches us!
**[18:59] ---**
    So you were the leader
    behind the scenes.
**[19:03] ---**
    It's quite a surprise that
    you possess the Rinnegan.
**[19:12] ---**
    Nagato…
**[19:16] ---**
    Teleportation Jutsu!
**[19:51] ---**
    Nagato, Yahiko, Konan…
**[19:56] ---**
    The world of dreams…
**[19:58] ---**
    I shall let you see each other there…
**[20:00] ---**
    without fail.
**[20:11] ---**
    Didn't I say so?
**[20:13] ---**
    Yeah, I finally understand.
**[20:16] ---**
    The selfish desire to
    preserve peace causes war.
**[20:20] ---**
    Hatred is born from wanting
    to protect love.
**[20:24] ---**
    There's no such thing as peace
    in this accursed world.
**[20:29] ---**
    Exactly.
**[20:47] ---**
    You will always be the leader
    of the Akatsuki…
**[20:52] ---**
    Yahiko.
**[22:37] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    What's all the fuss?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    They're about to announce
    the Fourth Hokage!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Don't be surprised!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage is going to
    be Minato Sensei!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Rin, it seems like Minato Sensei
    is going to be Hokage!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    If he's the Hokage,
    I'm sure Sensei will…
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Mask That Hides the Heart"
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    …prevent any more victims like you guys…
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    A MASK THAT HIDES THE HEART
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:15] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[00:49] ---**
    It won't wash off!
**[02:23] ---**
    *Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops*
    *A Mask that Hides the Heart*
    
    
    
**[02:49] ---**
    Accept this from the Hokage!
**[02:57] ---**
    Deliver it to Lord Tsuchikage
**[02:59] ---**
    and relay to him that we desire
    an immediate response!
**[03:01] ---**
    There's no need to deliver
    anything to him.
**[03:03] ---**
    We'll give you your answer
    right here!
**[03:18] ---**
    Sometimes it's best not
    to be so hasty.
**[03:27] ---**
    What?!
**[03:29] ---**
    The Fourth Kazekage?
**[03:32] ---**
    Why is the Hidden Sand here?
**[03:38] ---**
    This is Hidden Sand territory.
**[03:41] ---**
    It would be unwise to have
    an incident occur here.
**[03:45] ---**
    We'll put out any sparks
    that rain down over us.
**[03:52] ---**
    The Sand will move accordingly,
    as the Sand.
**[03:54] ---**
    Remember that,
    whatever you decide to do.
**[04:01] ---**
    Scatter!
**[04:07] ---**
    What about the request to enter into
    the peace treaty?
**[04:12] ---**
    Naturally, it will be turned down.
**[04:15] ---**
    Whatever the Hidden Leaf negotiates
    with the Hidden Sand,
**[04:18] ---**
    nothing will challenge
    the unity of the Stone.
**[04:22] ---**
    – Right!
    – Exactly!
**[04:25] ---**
    Silence!
**[04:28] ---**
    Naturally, I am proud of
    the unity of the Stone.
**[04:33] ---**
    However…
**[04:35] ---**
    With the pride on our line,
    we sent 1000 of our shinobi.
**[04:40] ---**
    And I hear that it took just one of them,
    the Yellow Flash, to stop the invasion.
**[04:47] ---**
    And that's the reality of it.
**[04:58] ---**
    I hear they're going to enter
    into a peace treaty
**[05:01] ---**
    with the Hidden Stone.
**[05:03] ---**
    How much faith can we put
    in a single piece of paper?
**[05:07] ---**
    That's for sure.
**[05:09] ---**
    You guys, think about
    the burden on Lord Third!
**[05:12] ---**
    In any case, the long, great war
    will be over for now.
**[05:16] ---**
    Let's toast with some dumplings!
**[05:24] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[05:26] ---**
    Want to join us for some dumplings?
**[05:43] ---**
    He's not too sociable these days.
**[05:47] ---**
    Is something bothering him?
**[05:50] ---**
    Well, you can't expect him
    to be jumping for joy.
**[05:55] ---**
    Are you talking about
    Obito and Rin?
**[05:58] ---**
    Yeah.
**[05:59] ---**
    That would definitely leave
    a hole in your heart…
**[06:11] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[06:15] ---**
    *Rin…*
**[06:21] ---**
    HOW A SHINOBI SHOULD DIE
**[06:45] ---**
    Well done!
**[06:46] ---**
    We can breathe
    a sigh of relief for a while.
**[06:49] ---**
    Are you satisfied with
    an agreement like this?
**[06:51] ---**
    To forgive
    the Hidden Stone's actions
**[06:54] ---**
    and drop our demands
    for compensation…
**[06:57] ---**
    It's as though we lost the war!
**[07:03] ---**
    What do you think, Hiruzen?
**[07:05] ---**
    Continuing the war
    any further would be disastrous
**[07:08] ---**
    for the already
    exhausted Hidden Leaf.
**[07:11] ---**
    It's a step toward finding
    common ground…
**[07:15] ---**
    Many of my friends gave
    their lives for this great war!
**[07:19] ---**
    It's like they died in vain!
**[07:25] ---**
    And I assume full responsibility
    for that.
**[07:29] ---**
    How will you take responsibility?
**[07:35] ---**
    I intend to step down as the Third Hokage,
    and have the Fourth Hokage installed.
**[07:47] ---**
    How regrettable…
**[07:50] ---**
    The Third Hokage was
    doing a fine job…
**[07:54] ---**
    Hmm…
**[07:56] ---**
    Truth be told, the Third Hokage
    was too soft…
**[07:59] ---**
    and he allowed the village
    to be pushed into a corner.
**[08:03] ---**
    We need a Hokage
    who will change things,
**[08:07] ---**
    and enforce the laws of the shinobi.
**[08:10] ---**
    We need someone like that.
**[08:11] ---**
    And? Is there such a person?
**[08:17] ---**
    I recommend Orochimaru,
    one of the Legendary Sannin.
**[08:22] ---**
    – Oh…
    – Him?
**[08:24] ---**
    What do you think, Lord Third?
**[08:28] ---**
    Orochimaru is truly a genius
    in this age of war.
**[08:38] ---**
    However…
**[08:40] ---**
    A sinister will and greed lurk
    deep behind those eyes.
**[08:45] ---**
    Such a person cannot be given
    the duties of a Hokage.
**[08:49] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[08:53] ---**
    I recommend Minato Namikaze.
**[08:56] ---**
    A pupil of Jiraiya…
**[08:59] ---**
    In other words,
    a disciple of your disciple.
**[09:01] ---**
    A man so skilled,
    he's nicknamed the Yellow Flash.
**[09:04] ---**
    Oh!
**[09:08] ---**
    Minato is still too young.
**[09:13] ---**
    He emerged victorious
    at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge,
**[09:15] ---**
    and distinguished himself
**[09:17] ---**
    by leading the way to end
    of the Third Great Shinobi War.
**[09:20] ---**
    I am opposed!
**[09:27] ---**
    What about the rest of you?
**[09:55] ---**
    I believe that you will carry on
    the Will of Fire.
**[09:59] ---**
    So I want to entrust you with
    the future of the Hidden Leaf…
**[10:02] ---**
    and the shinobi world.
**[10:06] ---**
    You will accept, won't you?
**[10:09] ---**
    I shall do my best to deserve
    your trust, Lord Third.
**[10:13] ---**
    I wish I could have passed this on
    under better circumstances…
**[10:20] ---**
    What lies ahead is not peaceful.
**[10:25] ---**
    I'm prepared for it.
**[10:27] ---**
    Good.
**[10:31] ---**
    I know you can do it.
**[10:54] ---**
    What are you doing there?
**[10:56] ---**
    What did Lord Third want with you?
**[10:59] ---**
    Well…
**[11:00] ---**
    Did you get scolded?
**[11:03] ---**
    So what?
    Don't worry about it, ya know!
**[11:07] ---**
    Well, it wasn't that…
**[11:09] ---**
    Then what?
**[11:12] ---**
    Well…
**[11:14] ---**
    He wants me to be
    the Fourth Hokage.
**[11:16] ---**
    Oh really?
    Don't mind the Hokage—
**[11:21] ---**
    What?! What did you just say?
**[11:27] ---**
    I've been named the Fourth Hokage.
**[11:32] ---**
    Congratulations, ya know!
**[11:35] ---**
    Hey, hey…
**[11:40] ---**
    Thank you very much for
    all your hard work.
**[11:43] ---**
    Thank you.
**[11:57] ---**
    It's all going Hiruzen's way.
**[12:01] ---**
    The Third Hokage intends to
    use Minato as a puppet
**[12:04] ---**
    and keep ruling the Hidden Leaf.
**[12:07] ---**
    At this rate, the Hidden Leaf
    has no future.
**[12:11] ---**
    Don't give up yet.
**[12:14] ---**
    If my research is successful,
**[12:16] ---**
    it will be easy to grasp
    the power of the Hidden Leaf.
**[12:23] ---**
    To grasp power…
    stronger measures must be prepared.
**[12:29] ---**
    When the time comes,
    we won't be choosing measures.
**[12:32] ---**
    But, it's not time yet.
**[12:40] ---**
    Generally, if he's popular at all,
    he should…
**[12:45] ---**
    Let's go, Kinoe, Kinoto, Hinoe!
**[12:49] ---**
    – Sir!
    – Sir!
**[12:56] ---**
    I, HIRUZEN SARUTOBI, HEREBY ANNOUNCE
    MY RESIGNATION AS HOKAGE, AND APPOINT
    MINATO NAMIKAZE AS THE FOURTH HOKAGE.
    SIGNED, THIRD HOKAGE HIRUZEN SARUTOBI
**[13:01] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[13:09] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[13:15] ---**
    "How a Shinobi Should Die"?!
**[13:17] ---**
    What is this?
**[13:18] ---**
    Give it back.
**[13:20] ---**
    What's going on?
**[13:21] ---**
    Oh yeah!
**[13:22] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage
    was just announced!
**[13:27] ---**
    Don't be shocked!
**[13:29] ---**
    Minato Sensei will be
    the Fourth Hokage!
**[13:35] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
**[13:40] ---**
    Rin…
**[13:43] ---**
    It seems like Minato Sensei
    is going to be Hokage!
**[13:48] ---**
    Minato Sensei will be
    the Professor's successor
**[13:51] ---**
    and change the Hidden Leaf…
    and the shinobi world.
**[13:58] ---**
    There won't be any more sacrifices
    like you guys…
**[14:28] ---**
    I'm counting on you…
    Fourth Hokage.
**[14:31] ---**
    I shall dedicate my life to it.
**[15:04] ---**
    *Kakashi. You shouldn't use*
    *that jutsu anymore.*
**[15:09] ---**
    *From what I could see,*
**[15:10] ---**
    *your focused concentrated attack*
    *undoubtedly has power and speed…*
**[15:15] ---**
    *But it makes you move too fast*
**[15:18] ---**
    *to be able to ascertain*
    *your opponent's counterattack.*
**[15:20] ---**
    *It's still an imperfect jutsu.*
**[15:25] ---**
    *Those were Minato Sensei's words*
    *back then…*
**[15:32] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[15:37] ---**
    *I'm giving you…my Sharingan.*
**[15:45] ---**
    *Whatever the village may say…*
    *you are…a great jonin.*
**[15:53] ---**
    *That's how I really feel…*
    *So please accept it.*
**[16:00] ---**
    *You gave me this Sharingan*
    *in my left eye…*
**[16:05] ---**
    *When Chidori and Sharingan became one,*
    *it became a complete jutsu.*
**[16:11] ---**
    *But…that jutsu took Rin's life.*
**[16:16] ---**
    Chidori!
**[16:30] ---**
    So this is where you've been!
**[16:32] ---**
    You have a mission.
    You've been summoned immediately.
**[16:45] ---**
    Enter.
**[16:50] ---**
    There's a mission?
**[16:52] ---**
    Yes, I want you to retrieve the documents
    relating to the peace treaty.
**[16:57] ---**
    Yes.
**[16:59] ---**
    There are still some shinobi
    who desire war.
**[17:04] ---**
    And there are rumors that they are trying
    to steal the documents to create discord.
**[17:10] ---**
    Please do your best on this mission.
**[17:12] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[17:29] ---**
    *I'll wrap this up!*
**[17:31] ---**
    Chidori!
**[17:33] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[17:36] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[17:38] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[17:42] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[17:55] ---**
    Die!
**[17:57] ---**
    Severe Leaf Hurricanes!
**[18:03] ---**
    Another one?
**[18:06] ---**
    This isn't like you!
    Why are you spaced out?
**[18:10] ---**
    S-Sorry…
**[18:14] ---**
    Kakashi?
**[18:22] ---**
    Get a hold of yourself!
**[18:30] ---**
    I see…
**[18:32] ---**
    Yes…
**[18:37] ---**
    I've never seen Kakashi like that.
**[18:40] ---**
    I'm glad I secretly sent you.
**[18:43] ---**
    To help him at a time like this…
    That's what an eternal rival is for!
**[18:47] ---**
    That's what I believe, but…
**[18:50] ---**
    You've already done a lot.
**[18:53] ---**
    Will you leave the rest to me?
**[19:02] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
**[19:17] ---**
    Minato Sensei! I mean…Lord Fourth…
**[19:23] ---**
    Address me as you always have.
**[19:27] ---**
    Some in the village think I'm not qualified
    for the position and oppose me.
**[19:37] ---**
    I came here today…
**[19:39] ---**
    to assign you to the ANBU
    under my direct control.
**[19:47] ---**
    Why me?
**[19:50] ---**
    I want you to be my right-hand man…

**[20:26] ---**
    Here's a set of gear for you.
**[20:33] ---**
    Thank you.
**[22:37] ---**
    I want you to leave your current mission
    and take on a special mission.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Was there an issue?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    It's nothing like that.
    This is confidential, but...

    Kushina's pregnant!

    Congratulations!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Minato's Death*
    
    
**[01:39] ---**
    Many shinobi from small villages
    that survived
**[01:41] ---**
    by taking advantage
    of the turbulent situation,
**[01:43] ---**
    have no wish to be controlled by
    the nations of Fire, Wind and Earth.
**[01:49] ---**
    There's no doubt they will continue
    to cause disruptions.
**[01:53] ---**
    But we must maintain peace,
**[01:55] ---**
    which was attained through
    the sacrifice of many.
**[01:59] ---**
    I'm counting on all of you.
**[02:04] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[02:22] ---**
    PRACTICE FIELD THREE
**[02:41] ---**
    Chidori!
**[03:09] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:14] ---**
    Five shinobi,
    all approaching rapidly!
**[03:17] ---**
    What does their headband show?
**[03:18] ---**
    The Hidden Stone.
**[03:20] ---**
    We have a peace treaty
    with them, don't we?
**[03:22] ---**
    Maybe they have urgent business?
**[03:26] ---**
    What?!
**[03:32] ---**
    Why are you breaking the treaty?!
**[03:34] ---**
    We're the Leaf Village!
**[03:38] ---**
    You must be making a mistake!
**[03:47] ---**
    Reinforcements! Withdraw!
**[03:53] ---**
    Thanks for saving us!
    The Hidden Stone betrayed us!
**[03:58] ---**
    This isn't a Hidden Stone shuriken.
**[04:01] ---**
    So they were fakes? But why?
**[04:03] ---**
    They want to cause a rift between
    the Stone and the Leaf.
**[04:06] ---**
    H-Hey!
**[04:08] ---**
    Don't chase them too far!
**[04:14] ---**
    Chidori!
**[04:25] ---**
    Hey! How have you been?
**[04:33] ---**
    Are you ignoring me?!
**[04:37] ---**
    It's only been a short while since
    Kakashi transferred into the ANBU,
**[04:41] ---**
    but some of his actions
    are quite astonishing.
**[04:49] ---**
    *One…*
**[04:59] ---**
    *Four!*
**[05:11] ---**
    *Sharingan!*
**[05:12] ---**
    *You're Cold-blooded Kakashi*
    *that everyone talks about!*
**[05:18] ---**
    *Wait, Kakashi!*
**[05:21] ---**
    *Help me!*
**[05:22] ---**
    *Five!*
**[05:34] ---**
    *All five were killed with a single blow*
    *to their vital points.*
**[05:36] ---**
    *If you kept at least one alive,*
    *we could've gotten intel…*
**[05:45] ---**
    Lord Hokage, regarding the issue
    that you were concerned about…
**[05:47] ---**
    We have not seen any evidence of
    psychological trauma in Kakashi
**[05:49] ---**
    associated with taking Rin's life.
**[05:53] ---**
    Is something on your mind?
**[05:55] ---**
    No…
**[06:06] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
**[06:09] ---**
    Congratulations.
**[06:12] ---**
    What?
**[06:14] ---**
    Your due date is…let's see…
**[06:16] ---**
    October 10.
**[06:19] ---**
    Oh then, yeah!
**[06:22] ---**
    Huh? A baby…?
**[06:25] ---**
    I'm going to be a mother, ya know!
**[06:29] ---**
    And I'm going be a father…
**[06:33] ---**
    A mother, ya know!
**[06:36] ---**
    I'm going to be a father!
**[06:39] ---**
    A mother, ya know!
**[06:42] ---**
    Imagine that,
    I'm going to be a father!
**[06:47] ---**
    A mother, ya know!
**[06:56] ---**
    Kakashi, I want you to leave
    your current mission
**[06:59] ---**
    and take on a special mission.
**[07:01] ---**
    Was there an issue?
**[07:02] ---**
    It's nothing like that.
**[07:05] ---**
    It's more like a top-secret errand.
**[07:09] ---**
    Kushina's pregnant!
**[07:12] ---**
    Oh… Congratulations.
**[07:15] ---**
    Thank you.
**[07:16] ---**
    But when a female Jinchuriki
    becomes pregnant,
**[07:20] ---**
    the energy that keeps the seal
    in place transfers to the fetus,
**[07:25] ---**
    weakening the Tailed Beast seal.
**[07:28] ---**
    And so…it will be roughly
    ten months until she gives birth.
**[07:32] ---**
    I want you to guard Kushina
    against any incidents.
**[07:36] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[08:27] ---**
    Thank you for protecting Kushina.
**[08:30] ---**
    But…
**[08:32] ---**
    It's standard for the ANBU
    directly under Lord Third
**[08:34] ---**
    to take over the guard
    during the birthing period.
**[08:38] ---**
    Then I'll be returning to
    my duties in ANBU.
**[08:42] ---**
    There's no need to be so hasty.
**[08:45] ---**
    Why don't you take
    a break for a while?
**[08:52] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
**[09:02] ---**
    I'm sorry I haven't been by.
**[09:06] ---**
    It's not that I've forgotten…
**[09:10] ---**
    I've been…sworn to secrecy…
**[09:14] ---**
    but Minato Sensei is going
    to be a father.
**[09:18] ---**
    This generation won't know war.
**[09:22] ---**
    If only we were born a little later…
**[09:25] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
**[09:29] ---**
    I should tell Obito too.
**[09:32] ---**
    So I'll be going, Rin.
**[09:59] ---**
    Thank you!
**[10:00] ---**
    Thanks, I'll come again.
**[10:03] ---**
    Hey! Watch where you're walking.
**[10:08] ---**
    Why don't we just do
    Rock-Paper-Scissors again tonight?
**[10:10] ---**
    Not that again!
    Think of something more exciting!
**[10:13] ---**
    How can you call yourself my rival?!
**[10:15] ---**
    We have an early start tomorrow.
**[10:17] ---**
    So let's pass for tonight.
**[10:20] ---**
    Don't use a mission
    as an excuse!
**[10:22] ---**
    I have all this hot pent-up
    energy inside me!
**[10:25] ---**
    Now is the time for
    diligent training!
**[10:29] ---**
    Honest-to-goodness discipline
    and hard work
**[10:32] ---**
    lead to success in future missions!
**[10:34] ---**
    Are you listening to me?!
**[10:36] ---**
    You've gotten awfully cold
    since joining the ANBU.
**[10:39] ---**
    I've heard the gossip.
    They're calling you cold-blooded.
**[10:44] ---**
    Well, I know that
    I'm not supposed to talk
**[10:47] ---**
    about your being in the ANBU.
**[10:49] ---**
    Still, that's no reason to forget
    about our friendship!
**[10:52] ---**
    Youth is short!
**[10:54] ---**
    Say, Guy…
**[10:55] ---**
    Do you sense anything weird?
**[10:58] ---**
    There's been a chill in the air…
**[11:01] ---**
    It's your attitude that's causing it!
**[11:04] ---**
    There's nothing like
    the present for youth!
**[11:15] ---**
    What is this…feeling?
**[11:24] ---**
    There, there…
**[11:26] ---**
    *It's a strange feeling.*
**[11:27] ---**
    *Of all times for*
    *Mom and Dad to be out…*
**[11:33] ---**
    Don't cry, Sasuke.
**[11:35] ---**
    No matter what happens,
**[11:36] ---**
    your big brother will
    definitely protect you…
**[11:46] ---**
    It can't be…
**[11:57] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[12:18] ---**
    That's…!
**[12:23] ---**
    N-No way…
**[12:29] ---**
    The Nine Tails!
**[12:30] ---**
    – Run! Help!
    – It's the Nine Tails!
**[12:33] ---**
    Go, Nine Tails!
**[12:54] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[12:56] ---**
    The Nine Tails is…!
**[12:57] ---**
    The Nine Tails has suddenly
    appeared in the village!
**[13:03] ---**
    Damn you, Nine Tails!
**[13:05] ---**
    This is the moment I release
    my fiery pent-up power!
**[13:07] ---**
    Don't be hasty, Guy!
**[13:09] ---**
    Come on! I'll be your opponent!
**[13:11] ---**
    Wait!
**[13:11] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:13] ---**
    Gather immediately in the guardroom!
**[13:15] ---**
    Why?
**[13:17] ---**
    It's the Third Hokage's orders!
**[13:19] ---**
    Lord Hiruzen?
**[13:21] ---**
    You heard him. Let's go, Guy!
**[13:23] ---**
    BIND
**[13:26] ---**
    Now listen up.
**[13:27] ---**
    You young shinobi are to
    stay away from Nine Tails.
**[13:31] ---**
    What do you mean by that?
**[13:32] ---**
    This is not a battle between villages…
**[13:35] ---**
    This is a domestic issue.
**[13:37] ---**
    There is no reason for you
    all to risk your lives.
**[13:40] ---**
    Speak for yourself!
**[13:42] ---**
    Calm down, Kurenai!
**[13:44] ---**
    You're a shinobi too.
**[13:46] ---**
    We are not guaranteed
    to live a long life.
**[13:49] ---**
    But, my daughter,
    you are a woman.
**[13:51] ---**
    At least, pass on the Will of Fire
    to my grandchild.
**[13:57] ---**
    Make that your oath to your father….
**[14:00] ---**
    For I do believe in you.
**[14:04] ---**
    This is no time for a family argument!
**[14:08] ---**
    I can't take not being able to do
    anything at a time like this!
**[14:21] ---**
    The barrier has disappeared!
**[14:36] ---**
    Lord Fourth!
**[14:38] ---**
    Lady Kushina!
**[14:40] ---**
    Take her to Leaf Hospital immediately!
**[14:42] ---**
    Summon the Medical Ninja!
**[14:45] ---**
    Lord Third…
**[14:48] ---**
    Kushina…!
**[14:49] ---**
    Please take care…
**[14:52] ---**
    of the child.
**[14:54] ---**
    Of course, you don't need to worry.
**[14:57] ---**
    His name is…
**[14:59] ---**
    Naruto…
**[15:02] ---**
    Minato and I…
**[15:04] ---**
    picked it from…
**[15:08] ---**
    Jiraiya Sensei's novel…
**[15:11] ---**
    Naruto, you say?
    Fine. I take full responsibility.
**[15:15] ---**
    So, for the child's sake,
    you must rest!
**[15:29] ---**
    Kushina! I promise…
**[16:20] ---**
    Minato…
**[16:22] ---**
    Kushina…
**[16:24] ---**
    You both gave your lives…
**[16:27] ---**
    to protect the Hidden Leaf Village…
    and its future.
**[16:43] ---**
    *Minato Sensei…*
**[17:00] ---**
    We repelled the Nine Tails,
**[17:03] ---**
    but the sacrifice was much too great.
**[17:06] ---**
    This is no time to lament.
    The Hokage's seat is empty.
**[17:10] ---**
    We must decide on someone quickly.
**[17:15] ---**
    Perhaps someone from
    the age group below Minato?
**[17:19] ---**
    We have nurtured fine jonin,
**[17:21] ---**
    but they all lack the experience
    to rule over a village.
**[17:26] ---**
    Is there anyone else?
**[17:28] ---**
    Well…
**[17:31] ---**
    It cannot be helped.
    This is a critical time.
**[17:34] ---**
    I shall take over.
**[17:36] ---**
    Oh, will you do that?
**[17:39] ---**
    If you are willing…
**[17:41] ---**
    You stepped down once…
    Are you up to the task?
**[17:47] ---**
    Truth be told, even though
    you went after the Nine Tails,
**[17:51] ---**
    you failed to save the Fourth Hokage…
**[17:55] ---**
    That remark is uncalled for.
**[17:58] ---**
    And where were you
    at that time, Danzo?
**[18:06] ---**
    Just indulge this old man.
**[18:08] ---**
    Let me fill in as Hokage until
    we can groom the next one.
**[18:33] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake, correct?
**[18:35] ---**
    Lord Danzo…
**[18:37] ---**
    Come and work under me.
    What do you say?
**[18:41] ---**
    But…I was Minato Sensei's…
**[18:45] ---**
    Lord Fourth, the one
    who recruited you into the ANBU
**[18:48] ---**
    is no longer with us.
**[18:51] ---**
    If you stay where you are,
    you will end up working
**[18:54] ---**
    directly under the Third
    who will reassume his position.
**[18:57] ---**
    It was his foolhardy ideals of peace
    that dragged the war on
**[19:01] ---**
    and drove Obito and Rin
    to their deaths.
**[19:06] ---**
    But…
**[19:07] ---**
    Furthermore, on the night
    of the Nine Tails' rampage,
**[19:10] ---**
    you were not able to join the fight
    because of Lord Third's orders…
**[19:18] ---**
    Isn't that why Lord Fourth
    lost his life?
**[19:24] ---**
    I don't want to believe that
    he planned this to return to power…
**[19:30] ---**
    but the future of the Hidden Leaf
    cannot be entrusted to someone like him.
**[19:40] ---**
    A few ANBU will be selected to
**[19:43] ---**
    guard the Feudal Lord's procession
    back to his prefecture.
**[19:47] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[19:48] ---**
    This is the plan.
**[20:06] ---**
    Wood Style?!
**[20:11] ---**
    Wood Style! Giant Forest Jutsu!
**[20:25] ---**
    Halt!
**[20:35] ---**
    I called him.
**[20:37] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[20:40] ---**
    Thank you for coming.
**[20:43] ---**
    Here…
**[20:52] ---**
    The time has come.
**[20:54] ---**
    Good work, Kakashi.
**[22:37] ---**
    The First Hokage who founded
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves,
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Hashirama Senju, could freely
    use Wood Style Ninjutsu.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    He was the only one who could.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    But there's another who can
    use the Wood Style.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    What's going on?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hashirama's Cells"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    How is he able to use
    the Wood Style?
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    HASHIRAMA'S CELLS
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[02:04] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[02:07] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[02:09] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[02:21] ---**
    *Hashirama's Cells*
    
    
    
**[03:16] ---**
    So he's back to ignoring me again.
**[03:19] ---**
    *Welcome!*
**[03:25] ---**
    *Wood Style! Giant Forest Jutsu!*
**[03:29] ---**
    *Who is that boy*
    *who uses the Wood Style?*
**[03:35] ---**
    *Maybe I'll find some information there.*
**[03:58] ---**
    HASHIRAMA CHRONICLES
**[04:00] ---**
    FIRE STYLE
**[04:05] ---**
    *Found it.*
**[04:11] ---**
    Hashirama Senju… The leader of
    the Senju Clan of the Forest,
**[04:15] ---**
    brought peace and stability to
    this bloody, war-torn world.
**[04:20] ---**
    He and he alone mastered
    the Wood Style Ninjutsu…
**[04:27] ---**
    *He and he alone mastered*
    *the Wood Style Ninjutsu…*
**[04:32] ---**
    *No, there's one more.*
**[04:34] ---**
    *What does this mean?*
**[04:36] ---**
    *How is he able to use*
    *the Wood Style?*
**[04:40] ---**
    TOP SECRET
**[04:42] ---**
    *Top secret?*
**[04:45] ---**
    Where are the contents?
**[04:48] ---**
    Is this what you are looking for?
**[04:52] ---**
    Professor!
**[04:56] ---**
    It's all right. I give you permission.
**[04:59] ---**
    Read it.
**[05:01] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[05:03] ---**
    Long ago, the First Hokage,
    Lord Hashirama…
**[05:06] ---**
    after a death match with Madara…
**[05:08] ---**
    used the Wood Style to
    suppress the Nine Tails.
**[05:12] ---**
    After that, there was no one to
    take over the Wood Style Jutsu…
**[05:17] ---**
    Either the Sharingan or
    Wood Style are necessary
**[05:19] ---**
    to suppress the Tailed Beasts.
**[05:21] ---**
    In the Hidden Leaf Village,
**[05:23] ---**
    there was a time when
    they researched
**[05:27] ---**
    and tried to revive
    the First's Wood Style Jutsu.
**[05:31] ---**
    However…
**[05:34] ---**
    despite the dedicated
    efforts of many…
**[05:36] ---**
    the tests to transplant Lord Hashirama's
    cells failed one after another…
**[05:42] ---**
    and the lives that were sacrificed
    continued to grow.
**[05:45] ---**
    And so…
    unfortunately, that jutsu…
**[05:52] ---**
    was deemed a Forbidden Jutsu
    and sealed away.
**[05:56] ---**
    But recently, genin and chunin,
**[06:00] ---**
    and even members of the ANBU
    have gone missing.
**[06:07] ---**
    Furthermore, what's more disturbing
    are incidents
**[06:10] ---**
    where newborn infants
    have been kidnapped
**[06:13] ---**
    from hamlets surrounding
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[06:17] ---**
    Infants?!
**[06:19] ---**
    Of those confirmed,
    there have been 60 kidnappings.
**[06:24] ---**
    Who could have…?!
**[06:27] ---**
    What I'm about to tell you is hearsay…
**[06:30] ---**
    Someone is continuing
    the experiments
**[06:33] ---**
    and trying to implant the cells
    of Lord Hashirama.
**[06:37] ---**
    Even if they're rumors,
    why would anyone…?
**[06:40] ---**
    There are those who want to obtain
    every jutsu that exists.
**[06:44] ---**
    Even I have wondered sometimes,
**[06:46] ---**
    if there were only someone
    who knows the Wood Style…
**[06:51] ---**
    Had that been the case,
**[06:52] ---**
    the Fourth Hokage need not
    have sacrificed his life.
**[06:59] ---**
    *Isn't that why Lord Fourth lost his life?*
**[07:07] ---**
    Mind you, this is just hearsay.
**[07:12] ---**
    If…
**[07:14] ---**
    If Lord Hashirama's cells had
    really been implanted into infants…
**[07:19] ---**
    Implanting cells into infants
    is forbidden…
**[07:24] ---**
    And even if someone was doing so,
**[07:26] ---**
    the possibility of it succeeding
    would be very low.
**[07:33] ---**
    However…
**[07:34] ---**
    If…just if…the first infant who
    was kidnapped survived…
**[07:41] ---**
    He or she would be
    ten years old already.
**[07:49] ---**
    Ten years old…
**[08:03] ---**
    Are you all here?
**[08:05] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[08:06] ---**
    Tomorrow morning at
    the hour of the tiger,
**[08:09] ---**
    the Third Hokage and five ANBU
    under his direct command
**[08:13] ---**
    will depart for
    the Feudal Lord's prefecture.
**[08:16] ---**
    His purpose is to reassume
    the Hokage post
**[08:19] ---**
    left empty by Lord Fourth's demise.
**[08:22] ---**
    If we allow this,
**[08:24] ---**
    the Hidden Leaf Village will once again
    be forced to accept
**[08:27] ---**
    a weak and indecisive leader.
**[08:30] ---**
    For the sake of the village,
    we must prevent this at all cost.
**[08:35] ---**
    Hence, your mission is…
**[08:38] ---**
    somewhere along the route…
**[08:40] ---**
    take the life of the Lord Third
    quickly and discreetly.
**[08:44] ---**
    Remember, no one must know of this.
**[08:47] ---**
    It must appear that it was
    the work of itinerant shinobi.
**[08:51] ---**
    Understood?
**[08:53] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[09:04] ---**
    Lord Third, are you ready?
**[09:06] ---**
    Yes, let's depart!
**[09:48] ---**
    Enemy attack!
**[10:16] ---**
    Wood Style Jutsu!
**[10:18] ---**
    What?!
**[10:25] ---**
    A Substitution?!
**[10:34] ---**
    Wood Style! Giant Forest Jutsu!
**[10:43] ---**
    Chidori!
**[11:00] ---**
    You…
**[11:02] ---**
    Where did you learn the Wood Style?
**[11:07] ---**
    I didn't expect an answer anyway…
**[11:11] ---**
    Leave.
**[11:14] ---**
    Go quickly!
**[11:15] ---**
    That jutsu of yours will be critical for
    the Hidden Leaf Village one day.
**[11:33] ---**
    They were only
    after Lord Third.
**[11:36] ---**
    It seems their purpose was
    to separate us from Lord Third.
**[11:40] ---**
    They scattered off somewhere.
**[11:43] ---**
    Were you all right here?
**[11:45] ---**
    Yes…
**[11:46] ---**
    Did you recognize the enemy?
**[11:48] ---**
    I don't know who it was.
**[11:56] ---**
    Well, that's all right.
**[11:57] ---**
    I'm sure Lord Third will take care
    of the rest.
**[12:17] ---**
    I regret to inform you…
**[12:19] ---**
    that I won't be giving up
    that seat just yet…
**[12:26] ---**
    It seems like you want to ask me
    why I'm still alive…
**[12:30] ---**
    It's nothing like that!
**[12:31] ---**
    I understood that
    you left this morning
**[12:33] ---**
    for the Feudal Lord's prefecture.
**[12:35] ---**
    A certain fellow betrayed me…
**[12:37] ---**
    Rather, he came back to me…
    and warned us
**[12:41] ---**
    that we would be targeted
    on the way to the prefecture.
**[12:48] ---**
    I can easily investigate and
    find out who is behind this…
**[12:51] ---**
    And that person will be executed.
**[12:54] ---**
    That is as clear as day…
**[13:02] ---**
    But it's against my principles
    to cause any more death.
**[13:08] ---**
    If I could meet that person,
    I would tell him…
**[13:11] ---**
    That I will overlook his actions
    this time…
**[13:16] ---**
    But in exchange,
    he must do all that is in his power…
**[13:20] ---**
    for the sake of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[13:25] ---**
    You and your ideals of peace…
**[13:29] ---**
    One day, that naiveté will be
    the death of you, Hiruzen.
**[13:35] ---**
    Hmm…perhaps you're right.
**[13:49] ---**
    We've always been this way.
**[13:51] ---**
    You are the light and
    I am the darkness.
**[13:56] ---**
    Wherever there is light,
    there is darkness.
**[13:59] ---**
    But losing either one causes
    disruptions in the world.
**[14:21] ---**
    Professor…
**[14:22] ---**
    I'm unqualified to be in the ANBU.
**[14:26] ---**
    Why? Thanks to you, I'm still alive.
**[14:30] ---**
    Still, I nearly betrayed you once.
**[14:36] ---**
    I couldn't protect the Fourth Hokage…
**[14:39] ---**
    I can't blame you if
    you hate me for that.
**[14:44] ---**
    Actually, when Minato was alive,
    he came to speak to me about you.
**[14:54] ---**
    I wanted him to forget the pain
    in his heart, even just a little…
**[14:58] ---**
    That's why I assigned him
    to the ANBU.
**[15:02] ---**
    But from the rumors I hear lately…
**[15:06] ---**
    I think I might have made
    the pain go even deeper.
**[15:10] ---**
    Right now, I regret it.
**[15:14] ---**
    No one can heal a wounded heart…
**[15:18] ---**
    Only time can heal all wounds.
**[15:22] ---**
    Yes…
**[15:23] ---**
    Well, there is one solution.
**[15:27] ---**
    Why don't you assign him
    to guard Kushina?
**[15:31] ---**
    If he leaves his duties with ANBU
    to watch over
**[15:34] ---**
    a woman who is about to
    give birth to a new life,
**[15:36] ---**
    perhaps it will trigger
    a change in him.
**[15:39] ---**
    You're right!
**[15:42] ---**
    When Minato died…
**[15:44] ---**
    I considered releasing you
    from the ANBU, for a moment.
**[15:49] ---**
    But I am in need your strength
    at this time.
**[15:53] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[15:55] ---**
    Will you continue on as an ANBU
    who reports directly to me?
**[16:00] ---**
    Yes!
**[16:02] ---**
    I hope that Minato will
    forgive me as well…
**[16:08] ---**
    Lord Third…
    There's something I need to tell you.
**[16:13] ---**
    Hmm?
**[16:14] ---**
    There's someone in the Foundation
    who uses the Wood Style…
**[16:18] ---**
    Just as I thought…
**[16:20] ---**
    I have an idea who it is.
    Let me handle this.
**[16:26] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[16:33] ---**
    I see…
**[16:35] ---**
    So you will be filling
    the post again, Lord Third!
**[16:39] ---**
    You have the knowledge
    and experience already…
**[16:41] ---**
    I am very relieved.
**[16:50] ---**
    Is that man not here today?
**[16:52] ---**
    The fierce-looking one
    with that scary eye…
**[16:57] ---**
    Do you mean Danzo?
**[16:59] ---**
    Oh yes, he's the one.
**[17:02] ---**
    He had an urgent matter to attend to,
    so he is absent today.
**[17:06] ---**
    Oh…I see.
**[17:10] ---**
    I don't feel very comfortable
    around him.
**[17:28] ---**
    We must cease direct contact
    between us for the time being.
**[17:32] ---**
    Did something happen?
**[17:35] ---**
    Kakashi betrayed me,
**[17:37] ---**
    and there's a possibility
    that Hiruzen knows about us.
**[17:44] ---**
    That's not good.
**[17:46] ---**
    In time, he might even learn
    about this place and its secrets.
**[17:53] ---**
    Well, we're dealing with Lord Third.
    He'll be on to us eventually.
**[17:58] ---**
    No… He probably has already guessed.
**[18:27] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[19:03] ---**
    It won't wash off…
**[19:13] ---**
    Lord Third is reassuming
    the title of Hokage…
**[19:17] ---**
    I thought the changing of
    the guard would mean a new era…
**[19:22] ---**
    I know what you mean, Genma…
**[19:25] ---**
    It's not going to be easy
    for Lord Third, you know!
**[19:28] ---**
    Especially at his age!
**[19:30] ---**
    We just have to do our best
    for the village, that's all.
**[19:34] ---**
    Let's celebrate the return of
    Lord Third with some dumplings!
**[19:39] ---**
    – Yeah!
    – Yeah!
**[20:23] ---**
    I-It's me! It's me, Kakashi!
**[20:32] ---**
    You were seriously out
    to get me just now!
**[20:34] ---**
    I thought I was going to get killed!
**[20:38] ---**
    I should say the same.
    What the hell were you thinking?
**[20:40] ---**
    I was just…
**[20:42] ---**
    I just wanted to lure you into
    continuing our rivalry showdowns.
**[20:48] ---**
    Sorry…
**[22:36] ---**
    The current emergency
    summons is in place
    
    
**[22:38] ---**
    in order to promptly
    recapture Orochimaru,
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    who has slipped through our grasp.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    The knowledge that Orochimaru holds is
    a valuable asset to the Leaf.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    If he leaves the Land of Fire,
    it will be a fatal blow to the Leaf!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    When that time comes…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Rogue Ninja Orochimaru"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    You… I like the look in your eye.
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THE ROGUE NINJA OROCHIMARU
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Rogue Ninja Orochimaru*
    
    
    
**[01:41] ---**
    Is that you, Kinoto?
**[01:43] ---**
    Lord Danzo,
    there's an urgent matter…
**[01:56] ---**
    Hiruzen himself is leading them?
**[01:58] ---**
    Damn him, he's gone too far.
**[02:03] ---**
    Kinoe, are you here?
**[02:19] ---**
    Are you going to kill me?
**[02:31] ---**
    Are you up to the task…
    Sarutobi Sensei?
**[02:45] ---**
    *And even with that…*
**[02:47] ---**
    *No…it's because of that.*
**[02:50] ---**
    *Hiruzen will not be able to*
    *kill his student Orochimaru.*
**[03:23] ---**
    Sarutobi, you have to—!
**[03:30] ---**
    *Just for times like this, we have*
    *another secret meeting place.*
**[03:34] ---**
    *Kinoe, go on ahead*
    *and wait for Orochimaru.*
**[04:07] ---**
    Lightning Blade!
**[04:36] ---**
    You…
**[04:38] ---**
    I like the look in your eye.
**[04:41] ---**
    However…I don't need a fake.
**[04:55] ---**
    So cute…
**[04:57] ---**
    Do you want to see his blood too?
**[05:15] ---**
    Lord Third…
**[05:16] ---**
    So you set this up.
**[05:31] ---**
    Don't move!
**[06:18] ---**
    So that's Orochimaru…
**[06:38] ---**
    This emergency summons was called
    regarding the capture of Orochimaru
**[06:43] ---**
    who escaped during
    the previous mission.
**[06:46] ---**
    According to intel reports,
    Orochimaru is seriously wounded.
**[06:50] ---**
    Considering his condition,
**[06:53] ---**
    he will not be able to leave
    the Land of Fire easily.
**[06:56] ---**
    Listen carefully.
**[06:57] ---**
    The knowledge, data and jutsu
    that Orochimaru possesses
**[07:00] ---**
    are a valuable asset
    to the Hidden Leaf.
**[07:03] ---**
    If possible, bring him back alive.
**[07:07] ---**
    If he leaves the Land of Fire…
**[07:10] ---**
    …it will be a fatal blow
    to the Leaf!
**[07:14] ---**
    And so…
**[07:16] ---**
    This must be settled before
    he crosses the nation's borders.
**[07:20] ---**
    Everyone, do your best.
**[07:23] ---**
    Scatter!
**[07:28] ---**
    You must love your pupil very much.
**[07:32] ---**
    It's hard to believe that you
    of all people would fail…
**[07:36] ---**
    I will be happy to cooperate.
**[07:39] ---**
    For the sake of the Hidden Leaf,
    I shall do everything I can.
**[07:42] ---**
    Thank you. I'd appreciate that…
**[08:17] ---**
    *Against those eyes, I…*
**[08:24] ---**
    *Next time…I won't fail.*
**[08:28] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:34] ---**
    What's wrong, Kakashi?
**[08:37] ---**
    I want you to follow a scent…
    It's Orochimaru.
**[08:41] ---**
    Snakes are difficult,
    they don't sweat.
**[08:45] ---**
    But leave it to me!
**[09:59] ---**
    Who are you?
    How do you know of this place?
**[10:03] ---**
    Lord Danzo sent me!
**[10:05] ---**
    I'm here on urgent business
    regarding Lord Orochimaru!
**[10:24] ---**
    This is the message
    from Lord Danzo.
**[10:34] ---**
    No mistake…
**[10:35] ---**
    This is Lord Danzo's seal.
**[10:38] ---**
    What? Lord Orochimaru has…the Leaf?
**[10:48] ---**
    *This isn't a transformation!*
**[10:50] ---**
    *His flesh was smoke?!*
**[11:02] ---**
    Give me the details.
**[11:04] ---**
    I am Gotta of the Iburi Clan.
**[11:09] ---**
    Oh… I'm… Well…I'm Kinoe
**[11:11] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[11:15] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[11:21] ---**
    Welcome home!
**[11:22] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[11:34] ---**
    If unforeseen circumstances befell
    Lord Danzo or Lord Orochimaru,
**[11:39] ---**
    it was previously agreed upon that
    they would come here for help.
**[11:43] ---**
    Then Lord Orochimaru
    will come here?
**[11:45] ---**
    Most likely…
**[11:47] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru…
**[12:03] ---**
    The pursuit by the ANBU
    is under control.
**[12:06] ---**
    I will take Lord Orochimaru
    out of the country without fail.
**[12:10] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru gave us life.
**[12:14] ---**
    We would do anything for him.
**[12:22] ---**
    Everyone, get ready to
    welcome Lord Orochimaru!
**[12:38] ---**
    Come with me, Tenzo!
**[12:40] ---**
    What? Umm… I'm…
**[12:47] ---**
    Stand here for a moment!
**[12:49] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:53] ---**
    See!
**[12:54] ---**
    It's the same!
**[12:58] ---**
    Ever since then…
**[13:00] ---**
    I've measured your height!
**[13:03] ---**
    I see, but…
**[13:06] ---**
    Yukimi, enough.
**[13:08] ---**
    He isn't Tenzo…
**[13:10] ---**
    He is too!
**[13:11] ---**
    U-Um… Who is Tenzo?
**[13:14] ---**
    Yukimi's younger brother…
**[13:19] ---**
    He's no longer here.
**[13:21] ---**
    We put him in Lord Orochimaru's
    care three years ago.
**[13:25] ---**
    In his care…three years ago?
**[13:29] ---**
    Then this scratch is…
**[13:33] ---**
    Even though we were apart,
    I saw what you looked like.
**[13:39] ---**
    You've returned from
    Lord Orochimaru's!
**[14:02] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[14:06] ---**
    Yukimi.
**[14:07] ---**
    Show him around.
**[14:09] ---**
    Yes.
**[14:18] ---**
    This is our clan's graveyard.
**[14:22] ---**
    This forest is…
**[14:24] ---**
    Instead of using stone headstones,
    we plant trees.
**[14:31] ---**
    They say the soul finds refuge
    in the tree and protects us.
**[14:37] ---**
    The soul…
**[14:39] ---**
    Yes… The souls of the dead…
**[14:44] ---**
    Our ability to transform
    our flesh was incomplete.
**[14:48] ---**
    We didn't have total control
    over the smoke…
**[14:54] ---**
    Sometimes, we would just
    turn into smoke without notice…
**[14:56] ---**
    Sometimes, the smoke would just
**[14:57] ---**
    dissipate without
    turning back into flesh…
**[14:59] ---**
    Members of our clan
    never lived long.
**[15:02] ---**
    You didn't see many elders,
    did you?
**[15:04] ---**
    No…
**[15:08] ---**
    So many died…
**[15:11] ---**
    That's why we planted many trees.
**[15:14] ---**
    So many…died?
**[15:17] ---**
    But Lord Orochimaru found us.
**[15:21] ---**
    This symbol known as the Curse Mark
    stabilized our ability.
**[15:30] ---**
    But the Curse Mark
    wasn't perfect either…
**[15:34] ---**
    He said much more research
    was necessary…
**[15:39] ---**
    That's why Tenzo was
    sent to Lord Orochimaru
**[15:42] ---**
    as a research subject.
**[15:44] ---**
    *Research subject…*
**[15:50] ---**
    The younger you are, the greater
    our power manifests itself.
**[15:54] ---**
    That's why he wanted
    a young test subject.
**[15:56] ---**
    But…that left
    only you as the child.
**[16:00] ---**
    It wasn't like he was going to die…
**[16:02] ---**
    That's what Lord Orochimaru said.
**[16:06] ---**
    Even if I were to be called up,
**[16:08] ---**
    I'd be able to see everyone,
    including Tenzo.
**[16:12] ---**
    *See…everyone.*
**[16:29] ---**
    *Everyone…*
**[16:33] ---**
    What is it?!
**[16:34] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[16:35] ---**
    This is…
**[16:37] ---**
    What happened?!
**[16:39] ---**
    That's strange… Who planted these…
**[16:43] ---**
    Those children are…
**[16:45] ---**
    Tenzo is still…
**[16:47] ---**
    What…
**[16:54] ---**
    We don't need this one…
**[16:58] ---**
    Or this one! Or this one!
**[17:58] ---**
    – Let's go…
    – Huh?
**[18:07] ---**
    It seems I'm about to
    reach my limit.
**[18:11] ---**
    Just a little bit more…
**[18:33] ---**
    What is this?
**[18:34] ---**
    Did you see how the roots twisted
    around the ceiling and walls?
**[18:39] ---**
    The inside is a maze of
    hollow caves like this…
**[18:46] ---**
    It gets a little tight from here…
**[18:48] ---**
    But we can still pass through.
**[18:49] ---**
    Where are we going?
**[18:51] ---**
    Tenzo and I had a secret base!
**[19:02] ---**
    There…
    You can hear it clearly, right?
**[19:06] ---**
    That crevice connects
    to the outside.
**[19:09] ---**
    We used to come here often
    to listen to that sound.
**[19:13] ---**
    And we'd talk about
    the outside world.
**[19:16] ---**
    Why don't you go out yourself?
**[19:19] ---**
    Because there's wind.
**[19:21] ---**
    Wind?
**[19:23] ---**
    If we turn into smoke
    while we're outside…
**[19:26] ---**
    and there's wind blowing
    at the same time,
**[19:28] ---**
    we'd be dispersed.
**[19:31] ---**
    So we're limited to places
    like caves where there's no wind.
**[19:35] ---**
    More than anything,
**[19:36] ---**
    we loved coming here to
    listen to the sounds outside.
**[19:41] ---**
    We'd try to guess
    what the sound was…
**[19:43] ---**
    What was going on outside…
**[19:45] ---**
    Tenzo and I used to
    imagine all the time.
**[20:21] ---**
    What's wrong?!
**[20:22] ---**
    It's serious. Someone has
    come down into our village.
**[20:26] ---**
    Is it Lord Orochimaru?
**[20:28] ---**
    We haven't been able to
    confirm that yet.
**[20:33] ---**
    If it's Lord Orochimaru,
    we will welcome him.
**[20:36] ---**
    If it's someone from the Leaf
    in pursuit, we will get rid of him!
**[20:53] ---**
    Everyone, hide and get ready!
**[22:37] ---**
    Is it true?
    Are you really going outside
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Yes, it's true!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    But if you go outside…
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Aren't you afraid of the wind?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    I just really want to see where
    these sounds come from, with Tenzo!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    What?
    
    
**[22:55] ---**

**[01:31] ---**
    *Orochimaru's Test Subject*
    
    
    
**[01:39] ---**
    Someone has come down
    into our village.
**[01:42] ---**
    Is it Lord Orochimaru?
**[01:45] ---**
    We haven't been able
    to confirm that yet.
**[01:50] ---**
    If it's Lord Orochimaru,
    we will welcome him.
**[01:57] ---**
    If it's someone from
    the Leaf in pursuit,
**[02:01] ---**
    we will get rid of him!
**[02:18] ---**
    Where am I?
**[02:23] ---**
    I've wandered into a strange place…
**[02:32] ---**
    *What's he doing here?*
**[02:35] ---**
    *Did he follow me?*
**[02:37] ---**
    *This is indeed a secret hideout...*
**[02:40] ---**
    *Luckily, I found tracks…*
**[02:43] ---**
    *Did I stumble upon something good?*
**[02:49] ---**
    *Is this mist? No, it's not…*
**[02:57] ---**
    *This isn't an ordinary diversion…*
**[03:00] ---**
    *Well then…*
**[03:03] ---**
    *I'm going to find out who you are!*
**[03:12] ---**
    That mask… You're Leaf ANBU!
**[03:16] ---**
    You got me!
**[03:17] ---**
    Who are you?
**[03:19] ---**
    What are you doing here?!
**[03:33] ---**
    *What is…that jutsu…?*
**[03:36] ---**
    Enough, I'll do it…
**[03:52] ---**
    Body Oxidation Jutsu.
**[03:53] ---**
    I will oxidize the inside of your body.
**[03:56] ---**
    Your chakra, blood, organs,
    nerves, and muscles…
**[04:01] ---**
    everything at will.
**[04:05] ---**
    Now… How's this?
**[04:13] ---**
    *Kakashi…Hatake…*
**[04:24] ---**
    I know what your aim is.
**[04:26] ---**
    However, you will not lay
    a hand on Lord Orochimaru.
**[04:31] ---**
    Before you can...
    we will get rid of you!
**[04:34] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[04:39] ---**
    No! You cannot let him die!
**[04:41] ---**
    Why? He's an agent of the Leaf!
**[04:44] ---**
    I can get useful information about
    breaking through the border.
**[04:47] ---**
    Who cares?! We will kill anyone
    who threatens Lord Orochimaru.
**[04:52] ---**
    Then I'll take both of you down…
**[05:04] ---**
    You're brave!
**[05:05] ---**
    But know this. If you're wrong…
**[05:11] ---**
    That will happen to you as well.
**[05:15] ---**
    *Wood Style…!*
**[05:17] ---**
    *He's…the Foundation…*
**[05:36] ---**
    Looks like you're awake.
**[05:38] ---**
    I'm going to ask you
    some questions now.
**[05:42] ---**
    Where are we?
**[05:44] ---**
    Why are you here?
**[05:47] ---**
    I'm the one asking the questions.
**[05:51] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[05:54] ---**
    How did you find out about this place?
**[05:56] ---**
    I found it by chance…
    Of all the luck.
**[06:10] ---**
    I'm sure you Leaf will do
    just fine on your own...
**[06:14] ---**
    How much does the Leaf know
    about Lord Orochimaru?
**[06:21] ---**
    Fine, I'm very patient.
    In time, you'll talk…
**[06:30] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[06:32] ---**
    That was our only option.
**[06:34] ---**
    You…
**[06:35] ---**
    Lord Danzo's orders.
**[06:37] ---**
    I am to wait here
    for Lord Orochimaru…
**[06:40] ---**
    I knew it…
**[06:42] ---**
    You intend to allow Orochimaru
    to get away.
**[06:45] ---**
    Well, we're both after
    the same thing.
**[06:47] ---**
    Lord Danzo is only thinking
    about the Leaf.
**[06:51] ---**
    The thing to fear most
**[06:53] ---**
    is Lord Orochimaru leaving
    the village borders.
**[06:56] ---**
    He sent me to stop him.
**[07:00] ---**
    I wonder about that…
**[07:02] ---**
    Orochimaru is seriously wounded.
**[07:04] ---**
    If he can't move,
    obtaining intel is useless.
**[07:08] ---**
    He may not even make it here…
**[07:10] ---**
    Perhaps that's especially why
    obtaining intel is important.
**[07:12] ---**
    By the way, are those guys
    connected to Orochimaru?
**[07:16] ---**
    Who are they?
**[07:18] ---**
    The Iburi Clan…
**[07:20] ---**
    A clan that has the ability to transform
    their bodies into smoke.
**[07:25] ---**
    Orochimaru discovered them…
**[07:27] ---**
    and it seems like he performed
    experiments on them.
**[07:30] ---**
    Experiments…
**[07:32] ---**
    *What I'm about to tell you*
    *is hearsay…*
**[07:36] ---**
    *Someone is continuing experiments*
**[07:38] ---**
    *to implant the cells*
    *Lord Hashirama.*
**[07:44] ---**
    Transformation into smoke…
**[07:46] ---**
    If I have to fight them again,
    that jutsu will be a nuisance…
**[07:51] ---**
    When it entered my body,
    I lost every ounce of my will…
**[07:56] ---**
    Is that so?
**[08:03] ---**
    Ultimately, Danzo is
    of the Hidden Leaf.
**[08:07] ---**
    Right now, Orochimaru is just
    another enemy. Isn't that so…Kinoe?!
**[08:14] ---**
    Bastard… Since the beginning you were—!
**[08:21] ---**
    *There are too many here*
    *to take on…*
**[08:24] ---**
    We are with Lord Orochimaru…
**[08:28] ---**
    You both…will die for
    Lord Orochimaru's sake…!
**[08:39] ---**
    Tenzo…
**[08:49] ---**
    For Lord Orochimaru's sake…die…
**[08:56] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[08:59] ---**
    I won't let you…touch Tenzo!
**[09:04] ---**
    *Tenzo?*
**[09:05] ---**
    Are you still going on about that…?
**[09:07] ---**
    I know! I know!
**[09:11] ---**
    Tenzo is already dead, right?
**[09:13] ---**
    I've had it! I won't let him die!
**[09:20] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[09:28] ---**
    Yukimi… Are you betraying…
**[09:32] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru?!
**[09:41] ---**
    This way.
**[09:44] ---**
    What is going on?
**[09:47] ---**
    This way, Tenzo.
**[10:04] ---**
    What does this path connect to?
**[10:06] ---**
    It goes outside!
**[10:09] ---**
    You're going to free us from Orochimaru?
**[10:13] ---**
    I don't know.
**[10:15] ---**
    …Kinoe!
**[10:16] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[10:18] ---**
    Hey, are you really taking us outside?
**[10:21] ---**
    Yes!
**[10:22] ---**
    But if you go outside…
**[10:25] ---**
    Aren't you afraid of the wind?
**[10:27] ---**
    There's something I really want to see.
**[10:32] ---**
    Oh!
**[10:33] ---**
    What happened?
**[10:34] ---**
    Can you hear it?
**[10:36] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:37] ---**
    Listen carefully…
    It's faint, but you can hear it.
**[10:46] ---**
    Oh! I can hear it!
**[10:48] ---**
    I just really want to see where
    these sounds come from...
**[10:54] ---**
    with you, Tenzo…
**[10:56] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:59] ---**
    Damn it!
**[11:07] ---**
    And I get left behind here?
**[11:25] ---**
    This is not fair!
    Please get out of my body.
**[11:30] ---**
    No! Until we reach that sound,
**[11:33] ---**
    you and I will be together,
    just the two of us.
**[11:40] ---**
    It feels so good!
**[11:42] ---**
    Right now, I feel like
    the two of us can do anything!
**[11:47] ---**
    The two of us…
**[12:05] ---**
    I'm finally out!
**[12:09] ---**
    I thought climbing straight up
    would do it, but…
**[12:12] ---**
    Damn it. I've had nothing
    but bad luck today.
**[12:18] ---**
    Who's there?
**[12:20] ---**
    Where is Yukimi?
**[12:22] ---**
    Don't have a clue.
**[12:24] ---**
    Defying me again?
**[12:27] ---**
    Have you forgotten
    the pain from earlier?
**[12:32] ---**
    *If it's smoke, then I'll do this!*
**[12:55] ---**
    *You're mine!*
**[12:58] ---**
    Too easy!
**[12:59] ---**
    Then this!
**[13:39] ---**
    I can hear the sound!
    Isn't it exciting, Tenzo?!
**[13:44] ---**
    Yes, well…
**[13:45] ---**
    All right then…
**[13:51] ---**
    It looks good here. Now stay still.
**[14:01] ---**
    Okay!
**[14:04] ---**
    It's all right now. Let's go!
**[14:18] ---**
    It's here…
**[14:19] ---**
    So this is where it was.
**[14:22] ---**
    Isn't it amazing?
    And there are so many people!
**[14:25] ---**
    I can smell something.
    I wonder what it is, Tenzo!
**[14:28] ---**
    My, my!
**[14:29] ---**
    She's so loud!
**[14:32] ---**
    What?! How rude!
**[14:37] ---**
    What do you think you're doing?
**[14:40] ---**
    You've ruined our merchandise!
**[14:48] ---**
    How's this, Tenzo?
**[14:50] ---**
    It...looks good on you.
**[15:28] ---**
    YOU COULD BE THE CHAMP!
    HOT DOG-EATING CONTEST
**[16:31] ---**
    *The only way to defeat him is*
    *through a surprise attack!*
**[16:41] ---**
    Damn it!
**[16:56] ---**
    It's over!
**[16:57] ---**
    So talk! Where is Yukimi?!
**[17:08] ---**
    That was a clone,
**[17:10] ---**
    but how does it feel to
    kill your own clone?
**[17:39] ---**
    Yukimi…
**[17:43] ---**
    The only one who can help
    Lord Orochimaru…
**[17:47] ---**
    is you…
**[17:50] ---**
    What are you talking about, hey?!
**[18:00] ---**
    How was it? Did you have fun?
**[18:03] ---**
    Yup… But now that I've seen it myself…
**[18:07] ---**
    it wasn't as great as I expected…
**[18:09] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[18:12] ---**
    The actual festival was
    completely different
**[18:14] ---**
    from what I had imagined…
**[18:15] ---**
    If I had come alone,
    I may not have known what to do.
**[18:19] ---**
    But I was with you today,
    Tenzo, so it was fun!
**[18:26] ---**
    You're right… There were two of us…
**[18:33] ---**
    I was a test subject too.
**[18:36] ---**
    Huh?!
**[18:37] ---**
    My body was poked
    and prodded, and observed.
**[18:41] ---**
    It was painful,
    and I could hardly bear it.
**[18:44] ---**
    Many of my friends died.
**[18:49] ---**
    When you're alone,
    all you think about is dying.
**[18:54] ---**
    But when there are two of you…
    all you think about is surviving.
**[19:08] ---**
    Shall we go somewhere…together?
**[19:14] ---**
    You must be joking.
**[19:24] ---**
    Let's go back to your village, together.
**[19:29] ---**
    You must return to
    your village immediately.
**[19:33] ---**
    Let's go.
**[19:34] ---**
    Just a minute, Kakashi.
**[19:36] ---**
    Did something happen?
**[19:38] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[19:40] ---**
    This girl is crucial in order
    to capture Orochimaru.
**[19:44] ---**
    Orochimaru will go to
    the village because she exists.
**[19:48] ---**
    *We're of no use…*
**[19:51] ---**
    *We have to offer Lord Orochimaru*
    *young Yukimi's blood…*
**[19:58] ---**
    To lure him…
**[20:00] ---**
    This is a mission…
**[20:08] ---**
    My mission is…
    as you suspected, Kakashi…
**[20:12] ---**
    It is to allow Orochimaru to get away.
**[20:14] ---**
    What?!
**[20:17] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[20:18] ---**
    I am Tenzo!
**[20:20] ---**
    Don't mess around!
**[20:43] ---**
    Tenzo, what's wrong?
**[20:44] ---**
    What happened?
**[22:37] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru...
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Inferior things are useless, after all...
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Yes... It has to be your blood!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Only with the blood of the young will
    this ability manifest itself…
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    That's… But you were going to help
    guide us to the next generation…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Their Own Paths"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[23:00] ---**
    THEIR OWN PATHS
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:31] ---**
    *Their Own Paths*
    
    
    
**[02:00] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[02:05] ---**
    What?!
**[02:28] ---**
    Stop!
**[02:30] ---**
    This girl is crucial in order
    to capture Orochimaru!
**[02:34] ---**
    Why?
**[02:35] ---**
    Gotta said so before he died…
**[02:39] ---**
    He died?
**[02:42] ---**
    No! Run!
**[02:44] ---**
    But…
**[02:45] ---**
    Please come with me!
    We'll escape together!
**[04:21] ---**
    Kinoe…
**[04:22] ---**
    That's as far as you go!
**[04:34] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[04:48] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[04:51] ---**
    Kinoe! Do you realize what you're doing?
**[04:59] ---**
    Stop, Kinoe!
**[05:03] ---**
    Will you break the rules
    like Orochimaru and betray the village?!
**[05:09] ---**
    Just for that girl?
**[05:34] ---**
    Why? Why does it have to be her?
**[05:40] ---**
    It seems that transfusing the blood
    of someone with that ability
**[05:42] ---**
    enables you to use the jutsu
    to become smoke for a short while.
**[05:46] ---**
    If that were true, it would make it
    very easy to slip across the border.
**[05:49] ---**
    However…
**[05:54] ---**
    *Yukimi…*
**[05:57] ---**
    *The only one who can*
    *help Lord Orochimaru…*
**[06:01] ---**
    *is you…*
**[06:05] ---**
    *What are you talking about, hey?!*
**[06:14] ---**
    *We're of no use…*
**[06:17] ---**
    *We have to offer Lord Orochimaru*
    *young Yukimi's blood…*
**[06:26] ---**
    He said that and died.
**[06:29] ---**
    That's so…!
**[06:32] ---**
    Gotta!
**[07:16] ---**
    *Lord Orochimaru helped us survive.*
**[07:19] ---**
    *But that doesn't mean*
    *we live for his sake.*
**[07:29] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[07:30] ---**
    You have to bear it, Yukimi.
**[07:33] ---**
    We do not live for the present.
**[07:35] ---**
    We live for the next generation who
    will be able to bathe in the sunlight
**[07:39] ---**
    and feel the wind and laugh
    without a care in the world.
**[07:42] ---**
    We live for that day.
**[07:44] ---**
    That's why Lord Orochimaru's research
    is so important…
**[07:49] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[08:00] ---**
    *Yukimi… Are you betraying*
    *Lord Orochimaru?*
**[08:07] ---**
    *Without Lord Orochimaru,*
    *our clan has no future.*
**[08:13] ---**
    *That's why Tenzo and Gotta gave up*
    *their lives for the sake of the clan…*
**[08:26] ---**
    Orochimaru will definitely
    go to that village…
**[08:30] ---**
    looking for that girl.
**[08:35] ---**
    She's gone?
**[08:36] ---**
    Could she have heard us?
**[08:39] ---**
    Do you think she returned
    to the village?
**[08:41] ---**
    For Orochimaru?
**[08:44] ---**
    If Yukimi's blood is taken with
    her body being unstable as it is…
**[08:51] ---**
    She's prepared to die…
**[08:53] ---**
    All I wanted to do…was protect her.
**[09:00] ---**
    This time…
**[09:02] ---**
    If that's the case,
    you didn't break the rules.
**[09:05] ---**
    Huh?
**[09:07] ---**
    Let's go protect that girl…
**[09:10] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[09:11] ---**
    Yes!
**[09:30] ---**
    Where is…everyone?
**[09:48] ---**
    Perfect timing!
**[09:51] ---**
    Orochimaru is up ahead,
    heading this way.
**[09:54] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:55] ---**
    Let's go!
**[10:07] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[10:14] ---**
    Disgusting…
**[10:16] ---**
    Inferior things are useless, after all.
**[10:20] ---**
    Yes, it has to be your blood.
**[10:35] ---**
    E-Everyone!
**[10:42] ---**
    This happened because you weren't here.
**[10:46] ---**
    What you see are the results
    of my tests
**[10:48] ---**
    on the Iburi Clan's bodily
    transformation ability…
**[10:52] ---**
    Only with the blood of the young,
    will this ability manifest itself…
**[10:57] ---**
    I've gathered all the other samples…
**[11:00] ---**
    Only your blood remains…
    and that will be the end of it.
**[11:06] ---**
    That's… But you were going to
    help guide us to the next generation…
**[11:26] ---**
    No… No!
**[11:29] ---**
    You can't say no.
    I'm going to have your blood.
**[12:09] ---**
    Don't waste my time!
**[12:18] ---**
    Why?
**[12:19] ---**
    You intend to wrap me in smoke?
**[12:24] ---**
    The prey can never defy the hunter.
**[12:41] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[12:45] ---**
    Tenzo!
**[12:48] ---**
    So you've come to take her back?
**[12:50] ---**
    Too bad…
**[13:18] ---**
    Damn it, Orochimaru!
**[13:22] ---**
    He's losing blood.
    He can't go far in his condition.
**[13:26] ---**
    He's bound to stop somewhere
    in order to take Yukimi's blood.
**[13:30] ---**
    We'll split up and search!
**[13:32] ---**
    Right! Leave it to me!
**[14:41] ---**
    This is…
**[14:50] ---**
    *No way… Are they guiding us?*
**[14:58] ---**
    You noticed it too?
**[15:15] ---**
    Over there!
**[15:32] ---**
    On the other side!
**[15:37] ---**
    Lightning Blade!
**[16:00] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[16:01] ---**
    Orochimaru!
**[16:03] ---**
    You brats!
**[16:06] ---**
    How dare you! How dare you!
**[16:10] ---**
    I won't waver this time…
**[16:13] ---**
    I'll look into your eyes
    up to the very end and bring you down!
**[16:17] ---**
    You are still so inferior.
**[16:22] ---**
    Know your place!
**[16:58] ---**
    Didn't I already tell you?
    Grow up a little more.
**[17:03] ---**
    Then I'll fight you!
**[17:07] ---**
    Orochimaru!
**[17:11] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[17:15] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[17:21] ---**
    This is…Orochimaru's Curse Mark!
**[17:24] ---**
    Kakashi, what do we do?
**[17:27] ---**
    Only the jutsu caster can
    release a Curse Mark.
**[17:30] ---**
    But that's…!
**[17:33] ---**
    Ten…zo…
**[17:45] ---**
    Ten…zo…
**[17:54] ---**
    Ten…
**[18:10] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[19:41] ---**
    Yukimi!
**[19:59] ---**
    I didn't encounter Orochimaru.
**[20:02] ---**
    Nor did I encounter a strange clan…
**[20:05] ---**
    Nor someone from the Foundation.
**[20:18] ---**
    I'm not scared of
    the wind blowing anymore.
**[20:21] ---**
    I'm going to walk straight ahead,
    for my future.
**[20:45] ---**
    *I can only live by the rules.*
**[20:49] ---**
    *But that's okay.*
**[20:51] ---**
    *I know now that I'm capable*
    *of protecting someone.*
**[22:38] ---**
    It's been a while, Kakashi.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    They know how to fight
    against the Sharingan.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    You planned on doing this
    from the very start!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Why do you want to kill me?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Because it's a mission.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Stop it, Kinoe!
    Abandon this mission!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    To a shinobi, a mission is absolute!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Targeted Sharingan"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I'm going to complete the mission!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE TARGETED SHARINGAN
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Targeted Sharingan*
    
    
    
**[01:42] ---**
    The Sharingan is a disposable power.
**[01:47] ---**
    Even the Uchiha Clan
    who possess the Sharingan…
**[01:50] ---**
    The more they use that power,
    the greater the loss of their eyesight…
**[01:54] ---**
    until they finally go blind.
**[01:57] ---**
    Furthermore, there is even
    a Forbidden Jutsu
**[02:01] ---**
    that is invoked at the cost
    of losing the Sharingan.
**[02:07] ---**
    Get me a replacement for
    this right eye of mine.
**[02:11] ---**
    If we are to attack
    a member of the Uchiha,
**[02:13] ---**
    careful preparation is necessary.
**[02:16] ---**
    There is one
    who is not an Uchiha…
**[02:18] ---**
    who has neither parents nor teachers,
    who has killed his own comrade…
**[02:23] ---**
    Kakashi…Hatake.
**[02:26] ---**
    Then we won't need to worry
    about any future trouble.
**[02:37] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
**[02:49] ---**
    Whose grave is it?
**[02:50] ---**
    The friend he killed.
**[03:00] ---**
    Kakashi Senpai…
**[03:02] ---**
    Lord Hokage is calling.
**[03:04] ---**
    All right.
**[03:07] ---**
    Stop calling me "Senpai."
    This isn't the academy.
**[03:11] ---**
    You're still my senior in the ANBU.
**[03:14] ---**
    Besides, you're my role model.
**[03:16] ---**
    Find someone more suitable.
**[03:25] ---**
    Hey…
**[03:27] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
    
    
    Rin Nohara…
**[03:35] ---**
    You are aware that Orochimaru
    has secret research facilities
**[03:39] ---**
    scattered throughout the country,
    aren't you?
**[03:42] ---**
    Yes.
**[03:43] ---**
    After he deserted the village,
**[03:45] ---**
    he destroyed some and
    kept some intact.
**[03:51] ---**
    Including ones that
    we have no knowledge of.
**[03:54] ---**
    It seems that way.
**[03:56] ---**
    A small battalion on a mission came
    upon such a facility by accident.
**[04:02] ---**
    According to their report
    upon their return,
**[04:05] ---**
    it seems to be a research facility
    that was abandoned by Orochimaru.
**[04:10] ---**
    Did they go inside and investigate?
**[04:12] ---**
    Fortunately, not yet.
**[04:15] ---**
    Right, since we don't know
    what's inside.
**[04:18] ---**
    I do not want members
    of our village
**[04:21] ---**
    to learn about his repulsive
    research activities…
**[04:25] ---**
    of what happened to
    their missing kin and friends.
**[04:30] ---**
    However, an investigation is necessary.
**[04:34] ---**
    So, you want me to go?
**[04:36] ---**
    It's been three years since
    Orochimaru left the village.
**[04:40] ---**
    But he still remains
    a thorn in our side.
**[04:44] ---**
    I hate to ask you,
    but please take care of this.
**[04:46] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[05:06] ---**
    I understand Orochimaru's hideout
    was found.
**[05:09] ---**
    It's one of his research facilities.
**[05:12] ---**
    I've dispatched someone
    to investigate.
**[05:14] ---**
    I see…
**[05:16] ---**
    Is something troubling you?
**[05:18] ---**
    He could have set some kind
    of trap before abandoning it.
**[05:24] ---**
    Are you sure it's safe
    to investigate?
**[05:27] ---**
    I sent an experienced and
    qualified ANBU agent.
**[05:31] ---**
    I hope nothing goes amiss.
**[05:51] ---**
    SEAL
**[06:01] ---**
    SEAL
**[06:18] ---**
    Is that you, Kinoe?!
**[06:20] ---**
    It's been awhile, Kakashi.
**[06:32] ---**
    What are you doing here?
**[06:33] ---**
    I'm on a mission.
**[06:35] ---**
    As my back-up?
**[06:38] ---**
    No, that isn't it.
**[06:40] ---**
    Did Lord Danzo dispatch
    a Foundation shinobi,
**[06:43] ---**
    because he's interested in
    Orochimaru's research facility?
**[06:52] ---**
    Foundation shinobi never discuss
    their mission… Is that it?
**[06:55] ---**
    No matter.
    You did help me out there.
**[06:59] ---**
    We can't have you burned
    to a crisp.
**[07:04] ---**
    Do you want to investigate
    what's inside together?
**[07:07] ---**
    Whatever we find,
    we'll share the intel with each other.
**[07:13] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[07:15] ---**
    We may work in different divisions,
    but we're Leaf shinobi.
**[07:17] ---**
    Let's cooperate.
**[07:23] ---**
    Yes…
**[07:25] ---**
    Who knows if a demon or
    a snake will appear?
**[07:28] ---**
    Let's go together.
**[07:29] ---**
    Right.
**[07:39] ---**
    The only trap seems to have been
    that one by the entrance.
**[07:43] ---**
    Orochimaru was pressed
    for time in his rush to escape.
**[07:47] ---**
    You're right.
    Still, we must be careful.
**[07:54] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:05] ---**
    Let's go.
**[08:06] ---**
    Right.
**[08:27] ---**
    There's nothing in here.
**[08:30] ---**
    What was Orochimaru
    experimenting on in here?
**[08:35] ---**
    Probably doing what
    he does best.
**[08:36] ---**
    Experimenting on
    human test subjects...
**[08:40] ---**
    Human test subjects…
**[08:44] ---**
    This one's no good.
**[08:46] ---**
    This one as well.
**[08:47] ---**
    That one too…
**[08:49] ---**
    They're all no good…
**[08:54] ---**
    This human experiment is a failure.
**[08:58] ---**
    I thought that an adolescent
    would adjust far better
**[09:01] ---**
    in propagating Hashirama's cells, but…
**[09:06] ---**
    But it's just the opposite.
**[09:08] ---**
    A child doesn't have the strength
    or stamina to endure it.
**[09:12] ---**
    I guess I'll have to
    shut this place down.
**[09:22] ---**
    *Wait!*
**[09:23] ---**
    But not to worry.
**[09:26] ---**
    There are many more ways
    of cell implantation.
**[09:29] ---**
    I'll start the next test right away.
**[09:34] ---**
    *Wait, wait…*
**[09:37] ---**
    *Wait!*
**[09:43] ---**
    Ki…noe.
**[09:44] ---**
    Hey, Kinoe.
**[09:46] ---**
    Let's go.
**[09:47] ---**
    Right.
**[09:56] ---**
    This one's locked.
**[09:58] ---**
    Leave it to me.
**[10:07] ---**
    It's open.
**[10:10] ---**
    That jutsu went extinct in
    the Hidden Leaf Village ages ago.
**[10:14] ---**
    So how did you learn it?
**[10:18] ---**
    It's a secret.
**[10:20] ---**
    Are you aware that
    the Wood Style jutsu
**[10:22] ---**
    is extremely important to
    the Hidden Leaf?
**[10:25] ---**
    I didn't know that.
**[10:27] ---**
    The Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails
    belongs to the Hidden Leaf.
**[10:31] ---**
    The Wood Style Jutsu is
    one of the powers
**[10:32] ---**
    that can control the Nine Tails.
**[10:35] ---**
    I know that the Sharingan
    is the other power.
**[10:40] ---**
    Your Wood Style Jutsu isn't just
    for the Foundation…
**[10:42] ---**
    It is a power meant to serve
    all of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[10:46] ---**
    Lord Danzo wants to
    keep you at his side.
**[10:50] ---**
    But you are more suited
    to working directly under the Hokage.
**[10:54] ---**
    Don't you want to leave
    the Foundation
**[10:56] ---**
    and come out of the shadows?
**[11:06] ---**
    *No…no… I'm still alive!*
**[11:23] ---**
    *N-No…*
**[11:36] ---**
    There's a survivor?!
**[11:59] ---**
    What is this?
**[12:04] ---**
    There's something's inside.
**[12:26] ---**
    What's going on, Kinoe?!
**[12:30] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[12:35] ---**
    Are you serious?!
**[12:38] ---**
    Yes, I'm serious!
**[13:01] ---**
    *I have the advantage.*
    *All that's left is…*
**[13:05] ---**
    *He knows how to fight*
    *against my Sharingan.*
**[13:09] ---**
    *This was his intent*
    *from the very beginning…*
**[13:13] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[13:16] ---**
    If you're serious about killing me,
    then I won't hold back!
**[13:21] ---**
    It will be a death match,
    friend against friend!
**[13:24] ---**
    I'm serious.
**[13:29] ---**
    I'm dead serious!
**[13:38] ---**
    Why do you want to kill me?
**[13:41] ---**
    It's my mission.
**[13:43] ---**
    What kind of mission sends
    a friend after a friend?!
**[13:46] ---**
    You're one to talk.
**[13:50] ---**
    You're the one who killed a friend.
**[13:53] ---**
    A substitute?!
**[13:59] ---**
    Wood Style Substitute…
**[14:01] ---**
    You've gotten better
    since the last time…
**[14:04] ---**
    Yes. So don't hold back, Kakashi.
**[14:07] ---**
    I won't kill a friend!
**[14:10] ---**
    No need to hold back!
**[14:12] ---**
    Stop, Kinoe! Abandon this mission!
**[14:14] ---**
    A shinobi's mission is absolute!
**[14:18] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[14:28] ---**
    A mission is not absolute!
**[14:31] ---**
    If your orders are to kill a friend…
**[14:33] ---**
    that order is wrong!
**[14:35] ---**
    The one who gave you
    such an order is wrong.
**[14:41] ---**
    *Is Lord Danzo wrong?*
**[14:50] ---**
    Can you walk?
**[14:53] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[14:55] ---**
    You don't seem to remember
    who you are…
**[14:58] ---**
    but have you forgotten
    how to talk as well?
**[15:01] ---**
    Uh, no…
**[15:03] ---**
    Follow me.
**[15:10] ---**
    Orochimaru is greedy.
**[15:13] ---**
    It's good to have the desire
    to test out new things,
**[15:15] ---**
    but he gives up too quickly.
**[15:18] ---**
    However, you're lucky
    he gave up on you.
**[15:23] ---**
    If you had stayed
    with Orochimaru,
**[15:25] ---**
    you would have ended up
    another test subject.
**[15:38] ---**
    My organization takes in shinobi
    who have nowhere to go.
**[15:42] ---**
    From now on, you will be
    a shinobi of the Foundation.
**[15:46] ---**
    The Foundation?
**[15:47] ---**
    Yes. We are the tenacious Foundation.
**[15:50] ---**
    We support the great tree known
    as the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
**[15:55] ---**
    Without strong roots,
    a large tree cannot grow.
**[16:00] ---**
    That's why the Foundation…
**[16:01] ---**
    You will be called Kinoe.
**[16:05] ---**
    Henceforth, you are one of us.
**[16:13] ---**
    You were one of 60.
**[16:15] ---**
    Huh?
**[16:17] ---**
    In order to produce a Wood Style user,
    59 other children have been lost…
**[16:23] ---**
    Kinoe, cherish your life.
**[16:27] ---**
    Yes.
**[16:35] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[16:36] ---**
    He said I'm going to be one of
    the Foundation of the Hidden Leaf.
**[16:53] ---**
    Water Style!
**[16:58] ---**
    You're able to infuse chakra
    quite nicely now.
**[17:01] ---**
    Yes!
**[17:04] ---**
    All right. I shall train you myself.
**[17:09] ---**
    Lord Danzo is? Directly?
**[17:11] ---**
    Personally?
**[17:18] ---**
    I once saw the First Hokage
    in battle.
**[17:22] ---**
    Deep Forest Emergence...
    Deep Forest Bloom…
**[17:25] ---**
    Such formidable
    Wood Style Ninjutsu.
**[17:29] ---**
    If you have inherited his cells,
    I put all my hopes in you…
**[17:34] ---**
    Manipulate the Earth Style
    and Water Style
**[17:36] ---**
    Change in Chakra Nature
    simultaneously!
**[17:43] ---**
    Not quite yet.
**[17:46] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[17:47] ---**
    It can't be helped.
**[17:49] ---**
    You are not an exact copy
    of the First Hokage.
**[17:54] ---**
    Here is the Ninjutsu Scroll left
    by the First Hokage.
**[17:59] ---**
    It's full of jutsu that I can't use,
**[18:02] ---**
    but you should be able
    to learn them.
**[18:05] ---**
    Me? Learn jutsu that you cannot,
    Lord Danzo?
**[18:08] ---**
    The world of the shinobi is filled
    with a myriad of jutsu.
**[18:11] ---**
    You cannot compete
    with just one power.
**[18:15] ---**
    We must master various jutsu
**[18:17] ---**
    and use those powers
    to unite the shinobi world.
**[18:22] ---**
    I have high hopes
    for your Wood Style Jutsu.
**[18:31] ---**
    *Lord Danzo is not wrong!*
**[18:37] ---**
    I will fulfill my mission!
**[18:40] ---**
    Why you…!
**[18:46] ---**
    To hell with your mission!
**[18:49] ---**
    I'll say it again!
**[18:50] ---**
    Killing a friend is not a mission!
**[18:53] ---**
    Then why did you kill her?!
**[18:55] ---**
    What?!
**[18:58] ---**
    Why did you kill Rin Nohara?!
**[19:11] ---**
    Why did you kill her?
    Why did you kill her?!
**[19:18] ---**
    You killed her because
    it was your mission!
**[19:26] ---**
    Don't speak about Rin!
**[19:29] ---**
    As part of my ANBU missions,
**[19:31] ---**
    I've had to deal with Rogue Ninja
    and traitors of the Hidden Leaf.
**[19:34] ---**
    So I can't help it if
    I'm called Friend-Killer Kakashi…
**[19:38] ---**
    But…
**[19:40] ---**
    Rin was…
**[19:42] ---**
    Why you…!
**[19:47] ---**
    I didn't want to kill her!
**[19:55] ---**
    I couldn't protect my friend.
**[19:57] ---**
    That's why Rin died…
**[20:00] ---**
    from this Chidori…
**[20:01] ---**
    Couldn't protect her…?
**[20:25] ---**
    Couldn't protect her…
**[20:28] ---**
    Are you going to…kill me?
**[20:30] ---**
    Are you a friend
    of the Hidden Leaf?
**[20:32] ---**
    Or are you a traitor?
**[20:34] ---**
    I'm not a traitor.
**[20:36] ---**
    Then what are you?
**[20:38] ---**
    I am…Kinoe of the Foundation.
**[20:41] ---**
    Then Kinoe…renounce your duty
    to the Foundation.
**[20:45] ---**
    I cannot.
**[20:47] ---**
    Then I'll take you into custody
    and turn you over to Lord Hokage.
**[20:51] ---**
    Do whatever…you please.
**[22:37] ---**
    The Foundation is a unique
    organization that supports
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    the large tree known as the Leaf,
    from deep underground.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Shinobi of the Foundation
    have no names.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    No emotion. No past.
    No future.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    We only have our missions.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Shinobi of the Leaf."
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    A mission for the Foundation
    is absolute, Kinoe...
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    A SHINOBI OF THE LEAF
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *A Shinobi of the Leaf*
    
    
    
**[01:38] ---**
    Stand up!
**[01:44] ---**
    We're leaving.
**[01:45] ---**
    What about the mission, Kakashi?
**[01:48] ---**
    Our mission is to search this location.
**[01:50] ---**
    It's suspended, because of you.
**[01:53] ---**
    Don't let me stop you.
**[01:55] ---**
    You're trying to kill me,
    so stop joking around.
**[01:58] ---**
    I'm not joking around.
**[02:00] ---**
    Move!
**[02:11] ---**
    I hear Foundation agents
    are all trained
**[02:13] ---**
    to discard their emotions.
**[02:15] ---**
    Does the same go for you?
**[02:17] ---**
    Not just our emotions.
**[02:19] ---**
    Shinobi of the Foundation
    have no names, no past, no future.
**[02:22] ---**
    We have only our missions.
**[02:25] ---**
    Well, you failed your mission.
**[02:39] ---**
    Don't move!
**[03:10] ---**
    Snakes?
**[03:23] ---**
    What are they?
**[03:26] ---**
    That one too!
**[03:30] ---**
    They're not ordinary snakes!
**[03:32] ---**
    They're Orochimaru's experiments.
**[04:00] ---**
    What?!
**[04:05] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[04:08] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[04:43] ---**
    *Dead.*
**[04:47] ---**
    *Everyone's dead.*
**[04:50] ---**
    *I'm going to die too…*
    *In here, like this…*
**[04:56] ---**
    *I don't want to…*
**[05:07] ---**
    Are you alive?
**[05:13] ---**
    Are you all right, Kinoe?!
**[05:16] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[05:18] ---**
    I think so… But why?
**[05:22] ---**
    Why what?
**[05:23] ---**
    Why did you save me?
**[05:25] ---**
    I couldn't just let you die.
**[05:30] ---**
    But even if you did,
    I would have deserved it.
**[05:34] ---**
    Did you…want to die?
**[05:38] ---**
    No, I didn't.
**[05:42] ---**
    I…did not want to die.
**[05:46] ---**
    Then be thankful that you're alive.
**[05:51] ---**
    That…I'm alive?
**[06:04] ---**
    The fluid from the snake…
**[06:07] ---**
    This is…
**[06:08] ---**
    Don't inhale! It's poisonous! Run!
**[06:10] ---**
    R-Right!
**[06:17] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[06:53] ---**
    *I didn't encounter Orochimaru.*
**[06:56] ---**
    *Nor did I encounter a strange clan…*
**[06:59] ---**
    *Nor someone from the Foundation.*
**[07:15] ---**
    *I can only live by the rules.*
**[07:19] ---**
    *But that's okay.*
**[07:21] ---**
    *I know now that I'm capable*
    *of protecting someone.*
**[07:28] ---**
    *Get me a replacement for*
    *this right eye of mine.*
**[07:55] ---**
    Kinoe, where's Kakashi?
**[07:59] ---**
    You did it?
**[08:01] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:05] ---**
    So you didn't need me.
**[08:08] ---**
    Where's his body?
**[08:09] ---**
    I made it appear like he was killed
    by Orochimaru's trap.
**[08:13] ---**
    Lord Hokage's ANBU
    will probably find him.
**[08:16] ---**
    Good. Let's return before
    they get wind of us.
**[08:39] ---**
    Kinoe?
**[08:49] ---**
    *To Kakashi…*
**[08:51] ---**
    *I've become confused*
    *about this mission,*
**[08:54] ---**
    *where I'm supposed to kill a friend.*
**[08:56] ---**
    *So I'm going to abandon*
    *this mission,*
**[08:58] ---**
    *and I will report to Lord Danzo*
    *that I failed.*
**[09:02] ---**
    *Please take care.*
**[09:07] ---**
    Kinoe…!
**[09:19] ---**
    Kakashi Senpai, we have to
    tend to your wounds.
**[09:21] ---**
    I must report in first!
**[09:22] ---**
    Hmm?
**[09:28] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[09:29] ---**
    Lord Third…
**[09:31] ---**
    Regarding the Foundation's
    Wood Style user…
**[09:33] ---**
    He targeted me.
**[09:36] ---**
    Lord Danzo ordered it.
**[09:41] ---**
    But he dropped his mission midway
    and saved my life.
**[09:47] ---**
    He then returned to the village.
**[09:49] ---**
    But who knows what's happened
    to him by now.
**[09:59] ---**
    W-What is the meaning of this, Kinoe!
**[10:04] ---**
    I beg your pardon.
    I failed my mission.
**[10:07] ---**
    If Kakashi beat you,
**[10:09] ---**
    then it's my fault
    for underestimating Kakashi's strength.
**[10:16] ---**
    However, you abandoned
    your mission
**[10:19] ---**
    and did a poor job of faking his death,
    and then returned here…
**[10:24] ---**
    And I sent two men to do the job!
**[10:32] ---**
    What was your intention?
**[10:37] ---**
    Answer me.
    Why did you do this?
**[10:41] ---**
    Please go to Lord Danzo
    and save Kinoe.
**[10:51] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[10:55] ---**
    It's agreed upon that
    I don't interfere with the Foundation.
**[11:00] ---**
    However, that is not possible
    in this case.
**[11:16] ---**
    Yugao.
**[11:17] ---**
    Sir!
**[11:19] ---**
    Take this missive
    to Foundation headquarters.
**[11:23] ---**
    It's an order from the Hokage.
**[11:25] ---**
    Summon Danzo here immediately.
**[11:29] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[11:42] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Yugao.
**[11:44] ---**
    Please rest assured, my lord.
**[11:49] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[11:50] ---**
    Sir.
**[11:51] ---**
    Go to the infirmary and
    tend to your wounds.
**[11:55] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[12:04] ---**
    Senpai?!
**[12:06] ---**
    I'm coming with you.
**[12:19] ---**
    Kakashi is a shinobi of the Leaf.
**[12:21] ---**
    He is a Leaf comrade.
    Is it right to kill a friend?
**[12:26] ---**
    Consider only those in
    the Foundation your friends.
**[12:31] ---**
    Isn't the Foundation
    a friend of the Hidden Leaf?
**[12:35] ---**
    The Foundation is
    a unique organization that supports
**[12:37] ---**
    the large tree known as the Leaf,
    from deep underground.
**[12:41] ---**
    Just as a tree is divided into what is above
    and below ground,
**[12:44] ---**
    the Foundation has its own existence.
**[12:48] ---**
    Kinoto… What is a Foundation shinobi?
**[12:51] ---**
    Shinobi of the Foundation
    have no names.
**[12:54] ---**
    No emotion. No past. No future.
**[12:59] ---**
    We have only our missions.
**[13:02] ---**
    As the leader of the Foundation,
    my missions are absolute!
**[13:06] ---**
    *No future…*
**[13:08] ---**
    *No past… No emotion?*
**[13:13] ---**
    *No name?*
**[13:17] ---**
    Welcome back, Tenzo!
**[13:22] ---**
    Are you listening, Kinoe?!
**[13:24] ---**
    No! My name is not Kinoe!
**[13:28] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[13:30] ---**
    You are Kinoe of the Foundation.
**[13:33] ---**
    What other name could you have
    besides that temporary one?
**[13:39] ---**
    I am a shinobi of the Leaf!
**[13:41] ---**
    Not just of the Foundation!
**[13:43] ---**
    A shinobi of the Hidden Leaf,
    which has a trunk and branches!
**[13:47] ---**
    Everyone is my comrade!
**[13:49] ---**
    Damn you…
**[13:51] ---**
    What made you turn on us?!
**[13:59] ---**
    Take him to the treatment room.
**[14:01] ---**
    Bind him with a Curse Mark.
**[14:04] ---**
    Sir!
**[14:07] ---**
    Lord Third has summoned Lord Danzo.
**[14:11] ---**
    Notify him that he is
    to appear immediately.
**[14:15] ---**
    SUMMON
    
    Lord Danzo is not here.
**[14:17] ---**
    What?
**[14:18] ---**
    We will let him know
    as soon as he returns.
**[14:22] ---**
    Where is he now?
**[14:23] ---**
    We do not know.
**[14:26] ---**
    We aren't privy to Lord Danzo's schedule.
**[14:33] ---**
    Go back and report this to Lord Third.
**[14:36] ---**
    What about you?
**[14:37] ---**
    I'll stay here and wait for him. Go.
**[14:40] ---**
    Right.
**[14:58] ---**
    Stop!
**[14:59] ---**
    You are under Foundation jurisdiction!
**[15:09] ---**
    Where is Kinoe?
**[15:13] ---**
    Damn Kinoe…
**[15:15] ---**
    What crazy thoughts did
    Kakashi put in his head?
**[15:18] ---**
    Lord Danzo, we're ready.
**[15:33] ---**
    Release!
**[15:35] ---**
    Let's get out of here!
**[15:38] ---**
    Kakashi?!
**[15:43] ---**
    Kinoe!
**[15:46] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[15:49] ---**
    Hey, wait!
**[15:55] ---**
    Found him! Over there!
**[16:04] ---**
    Wind Style:
**[16:05] ---**
    Vacuum Bullets!
**[16:10] ---**
    Wood Style: Domed Wall!
**[16:19] ---**
    How good of you to come over
    from your side, Kakashi.
**[16:24] ---**
    You entered Foundation jurisdiction
    without authorization
**[16:27] ---**
    and tried to take one of our own.
**[16:29] ---**
    Don't think you'll get off so easily.
**[16:40] ---**
    Lord Danzo, Kakashi is…
**[16:41] ---**
    Silence!
**[16:44] ---**
    And you won't get away with this either.
**[16:47] ---**
    Neither shall you…
**[17:01] ---**
    Hiruzen…
**[17:03] ---**
    I know that you bear
    a grudge against Kakashi.
**[17:07] ---**
    But that's no cause to target
    one of our best shinobi.
**[17:13] ---**
    What are you talking about, Hiruzen?
**[17:16] ---**
    I could care less about Kakashi.
**[17:18] ---**
    However, he trespassed
    by his own accord,
**[17:21] ---**
    into Foundation territory
    and that is serious.
**[17:24] ---**
    "By his own accord"?
**[17:25] ---**
    No, I dispatched him with
    a summons from me.
**[17:30] ---**
    Then he went looking for you.
**[17:36] ---**
    On my orders.
**[17:42] ---**
    There must've been
    a communication mix-up.
**[17:45] ---**
    I'm hearing that for the first time.
**[17:47] ---**
    Well then, that settles it
    with Kakashi.
**[17:51] ---**
    It's regarding this next issue
    that I sent for you.
**[17:57] ---**
    It's regarding another
    superior shinobi of this village.
**[18:02] ---**
    You know that the Wood Style user
**[18:04] ---**
    has long been desired
    in Hidden Leaf Village.
**[18:07] ---**
    There even was a period when
    we conducted tests to acquire that power.
**[18:14] ---**
    Now I understand there
    is such a Wood Style user.
**[18:17] ---**
    Why would you keep him hidden
    within the Foundation?
**[18:20] ---**
    I found him.
    And I protected and raised him.
**[18:23] ---**
    It's not like I was hiding him.
**[18:26] ---**
    I just felt there was no need
    to report it to you.
**[18:30] ---**
    Listen, Danzo.
**[18:32] ---**
    The Jinchuriki child is
    now four years old.
**[18:36] ---**
    The Wood Style Sealing Jutsu
    is becoming
**[18:39] ---**
    more and more crucial to the village.
**[18:42] ---**
    So…
**[18:45] ---**
    Will you entrust this user to me?
**[18:49] ---**
    I'll assign him to the ANBU
    under my direct control.
**[18:53] ---**
    But…
**[18:55] ---**
    Please, Danzo.
**[18:57] ---**
    I know he is a valuable
    subordinate to you.
**[19:00] ---**
    But for the sake of the Hidden Leaf,
    transfer him to me.
**[19:11] ---**
    Then all will be settled amicably…
**[19:19] ---**
    Members of the Foundation
    have a Curse Mark,
**[19:22] ---**
    so they do not
    reveal top-secret intel.
**[19:24] ---**
    I will not remove the Curse Mark.
**[19:27] ---**
    That is fine.
**[19:29] ---**
    All right then…
**[19:31] ---**
    I now receive him into my care.
**[19:33] ---**
    Henceforth, you will be an ANBU
    under my direct orders.
**[19:45] ---**
    Umm…
**[19:56] ---**
    Thank you for everything.
**[20:10] ---**
    H-Hello…
**[20:12] ---**
    I just transferred here from
    the Foundation. I'm Kinoe.
**[20:17] ---**
    Hey, Tenzo!
**[20:20] ---**
    Tenzo?
**[20:22] ---**
    Kinoe was your codename
    in the Foundation.
**[20:24] ---**
    In the ANBU,
    you should call yourself Tenzo.
**[20:27] ---**
    But that name is…
**[20:29] ---**
    Didn't you call yourself Tenzo
    in the past?
**[20:34] ---**
    All right, everyone!
**[20:35] ---**
    This is Tenzo, the newbie!
**[20:38] ---**
    I can vouch for his skill.
**[20:41] ---**
    Nice to meet you!
**[20:43] ---**
    Welcome!
**[20:44] ---**
    – Nice to meet you, Tenzo!
    – I expect good things from you!
**[20:47] ---**
    Tenzo…huh?
**[20:50] ---**
    Tenzo, you're on my team. Team Ro!
**[20:53] ---**
    I'm counting on you.
**[20:57] ---**
    Okay, Senpai!
**[22:37] ---**
    As usual, your Lightning Blade
    is as brilliant as ever, Senpai.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    There's no such thing as brilliant
    or unsightly in assassination...
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Killing is just killing.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Which reminds me, what happened
    to the replacement...
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    for the vacancy on our team?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I'm in no rush.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    We're not in the middle of
    a war or anything.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "An Uchiha ANBU"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Sooner or later,
    someone will show up.
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    AN UCHIHA ANBU
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *An Uchiha ANBU*
    
    
    
**[01:39] ---**
    Damn it!
**[01:52] ---**
    As usual, your Lightning Blade
    is as brilliant as ever, Senpai.
**[01:56] ---**
    Brilliant?
**[01:59] ---**
    There's no such thing as brilliant
    or unsightly in assassination...
**[02:03] ---**
    A kill is a kill, that's all.
**[02:08] ---**
    By the way, what happened
    to the replacement?
**[02:12] ---**
    Our team is short a member.
**[02:14] ---**
    There's no rush.
**[02:16] ---**
    We're not in the middle
    of a war or anything.
**[02:21] ---**
    Sooner or later,
    someone will show up.
**[02:29] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi.
**[02:30] ---**
    What's up? You look tired.
**[02:33] ---**
    Did you just get off a mission?
**[02:34] ---**
    You're such an idiot, Guy.
**[02:36] ---**
    Members of the ANBU can't
    discuss details of their work!
**[02:39] ---**
    That's how it goes.
**[02:42] ---**
    We're going out for
    some sweet dumplings.
**[02:45] ---**
    - Care to join us?
    - Sorry, I don't really like sweets...
**[02:50] ---**
    He's gotten so antisocial lately.
**[02:55] ---**
    Maybe it's because of
    all the secrecy in the ANBU...
**[02:58] ---**
    No! No way!
**[03:01] ---**
    Kakashi is my lifelong rival.
**[03:03] ---**
    He's got a heart that's filled
    with burning passion.
**[03:05] ---**
    All right, since it's come to this,
    it's up to me to do something!
**[03:10] ---**
    You?
**[03:12] ---**
    Please let me join the ANBU!
**[03:14] ---**
    It's the best thing to do
    for Kakashi's sake!
**[03:17] ---**
    Now, now, Guy.
**[03:18] ---**
    I understand your concern
    for Kakashi.
**[03:23] ---**
    But the saying "the right person
    for the right job"
**[03:25] ---**
    applies to this situation...
**[03:27] ---**
    Your skills will not be optimized
    in the ANBU.
**[03:30] ---**
    It's not about what's
    good for me, Lord Third!
**[03:33] ---**
    As Kakashi's partner, I...
**[03:35] ---**
    Silence! You are not suited
    for the ANBU.
**[03:45] ---**
    Not...suited...
**[03:54] ---**
    L-Lord Danzo...
**[03:56] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:57] ---**
    Please accept me
    as one of your ANBU!
**[04:01] ---**
    You lack it.
**[04:04] ---**
    Lack what?
**[04:06] ---**
    Darkness.
**[04:13] ---**
    Darkness?
**[04:27] ---**
    A new member will be
    joining your team.
**[04:31] ---**
    Is it the one
    we previously discussed?
**[04:33] ---**
    Yes, he's extremely capable.
**[04:36] ---**
    But he's young.
**[04:39] ---**
    Danzo recommended that
    he gain more experience.
**[04:46] ---**
    Here's your equipment.
**[04:50] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[04:56] ---**
    I've been assigned to
    the ANBU from today.
**[04:59] ---**
    My name is Itachi Uchiha.
**[05:01] ---**
    I'd appreciate your guidance.
**[05:04] ---**
    I see. So you're the one.
**[05:06] ---**
    Use the locker that's
    the farthest one in the back.
**[05:08] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[05:12] ---**
    Is that him?
**[05:13] ---**
    They say he's eleven years old.
**[05:16] ---**
    Doesn't that make him
    the youngest ANBU ever?
**[05:20] ---**
    Team Ro is to assemble at
    the Third Training Ground
**[05:23] ---**
    in five minutes.
**[05:25] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[05:55] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[05:58] ---**
    Explain yourselves!
**[06:00] ---**
    We wanted to make sure he had
    the skills to be one of us.
**[06:03] ---**
    Since he's too young.
**[06:05] ---**
    Do you have a problem with
    the decision of your superiors?
**[06:08] ---**
    No, it's not like that...
**[06:11] ---**
    Haven't you already sensed
    that he isn't ordinary?
**[06:17] ---**
    I'm Kakashi, captain of Team Ro.
**[06:19] ---**
    You're new,
**[06:21] ---**
    but I want you to learn the ANBU
    rules and formations quickly.
**[06:24] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[06:46] ---**
    He's good.
**[06:48] ---**
    He is talented,
    but making an exception
**[06:50] ---**
    for someone so young is
    rather unusual for the ANBU.
**[06:54] ---**
    Lord Danzo recommended him.
**[06:56] ---**
    No kidding?
    He doesn't fit the mold though.
**[07:00] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[07:02] ---**
    Lord Danzo has
    his own personal set of criteria
**[07:05] ---**
    for ANBU and Foundation agents.
**[07:07] ---**
    And?
**[07:08] ---**
    I just can't see him...
**[07:21] ---**
    I started my duties today.
**[07:23] ---**
    Is that so? That's my boy.
**[07:26] ---**
    I'm very proud that
    you've joined the ANBU.
**[07:31] ---**
    But you must never
    forget one thing.
**[07:34] ---**
    Before you are a Leaf ANBU,
**[07:37] ---**
    you are first and foremost,
    Itachi of the Uchiha Clan.
**[07:39] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[07:40] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan has been entrusted
**[07:42] ---**
    with the security of
    Hidden Leaf Village.
**[07:45] ---**
    But because of that,
    our clan has been relegated to
**[07:46] ---**
    living outside
    the village boundaries.
**[07:49] ---**
    It is essential that our clan
    has one of its own there.
**[07:54] ---**
    I am counting on you, Itachi.
**[07:57] ---**
    Fugaku Uchiha stood out as one of
    the shrewdest security captains
**[08:00] ---**
    throughout the generations.
**[08:02] ---**
    I'm not surprised that
    he's your father.
**[08:08] ---**
    This is not a criticism.
**[08:09] ---**
    Because the Hidden Leaf
    ordered the Uchiha Clan
**[08:13] ---**
    outside the village limits,
    but granted them self-governance,
**[08:18] ---**
    we cannot intervene
    in their matters.
**[08:20] ---**
    Hence, we need our own
    set of eyes and ears there.
**[08:26] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Itachi.
**[08:32] ---**
    Are you getting used to the job?
**[08:34] ---**
    Not yet.
**[08:35] ---**
    That's unlike you.
**[08:37] ---**
    I haven't gone out
    on a mission yet.
**[08:39] ---**
    Protecting the Lord Hokage
    is a mission in and of itself.
**[08:42] ---**
    Isn't the ANBU an assassination
    and special tactical unit?
**[08:46] ---**
    Well, we're not at war right now.
**[08:55] ---**
    - Kakashi...
    - Sir?
**[08:58] ---**
    As the Hokage, every deployment
    I order is an official one.
**[09:01] ---**
    However, I cannot
    ignore Danzo's view
**[09:05] ---**
    that there is an underside
    to this mission.
**[09:07] ---**
    Hence, a separate unofficial team
    will be dispatched.
**[09:12] ---**
    One that the Hokage didn't order?
**[09:16] ---**
    You will work under Danzo.
**[09:21] ---**
    On the surface,
    this is a diplomatic mission.
**[09:23] ---**
    We will be exchanging intel
    with the Hannya Black Ops
**[09:26] ---**
    of the Land of Woods
    at the border.
**[09:29] ---**
    However...
    I believe this is an enemy trap.
**[09:35] ---**
    Lord Third agrees with me on this.
**[09:38] ---**
    The ANBU will guard the team
    on the official mission.
**[09:42] ---**
    When the enemy turns on
    the team and attacks, kill them.
**[09:47] ---**
    Leave no survivors.
**[09:50] ---**
    Total annihilation?
**[09:52] ---**
    We must show them
    that the Hidden Leaf
**[09:54] ---**
    does not tolerate betrayal.
**[09:56] ---**
    I'd like to be in
    a two-man squad with Itachi.
**[09:59] ---**
    Fine.
**[10:01] ---**
    If I may take my leave...
**[10:02] ---**
    Kakashi...
**[10:03] ---**
    I recognize your worth
    as an ANBU...
**[10:06] ---**
    I'm even tempted to pull you away
    into my Foundation.
**[10:09] ---**
    Surely, you jest...
**[10:10] ---**
    I'm serious.
    You have the right qualities.
**[10:14] ---**
    A quality called darkness.
**[10:35] ---**
    You will conduct a secret exchange
**[10:36] ---**
    with the Hannya Black Ops
    of the Land of Woods.
**[10:38] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf will
    hand over this scroll.
**[10:42] ---**
    And you will accept
    a scroll from them.
**[10:47] ---**
    Do we verify the contents?
**[10:50] ---**
    This is a test of mutual trust.
**[10:53] ---**
    If they hand over a fake scroll,
**[10:56] ---**
    it will prove that
    the Land of Woods has no interest
**[10:59] ---**
    in an alliance
    with the Hidden Leaf.
**[11:02] ---**
    So if nothing happens,
    we just bring back the scroll?
**[11:07] ---**
    Yes. Presently, we have no
    hostility with the Land of Woods,
**[11:11] ---**
    but we cannot be certain.
    Be very careful.
**[11:15] ---**
    Leave it to us!
**[11:32] ---**
    Hey, Itachi.
    So it's your first ANBU mission.
**[11:35] ---**
    Right.
**[11:36] ---**
    I heard it's just Captain Kakashi
    and you in a two-man squad.
**[11:39] ---**
    Watch your back.
**[11:41] ---**
    Why?
**[11:42] ---**
    If it's for the sake of a mission,
**[11:44] ---**
    the Captain won't hesitate
    to kill a comrade.
**[11:46] ---**
    He's a shinobi
    of the highest degree.
**[11:59] ---**
    Okay, everyone!
**[12:00] ---**
    Fire up your youthful passion
    and...let's go!
**[12:05] ---**
    Please wait, Captain!
**[12:08] ---**
    I'm way past my youthful days...
**[12:17] ---**
    So they weren't told of
    the true nature of this mission?
**[12:21] ---**
    No. The only ones who know
    are the top ranks of the Leaf
**[12:25] ---**
    and the two of us.
**[12:39] ---**
    You're a godsend on
    long-distance missions, Kosuke.
**[12:43] ---**
    Please have seconds.
**[12:45] ---**
    Everyone, eat up and replenish
    your energy and chakra.
**[12:50] ---**
    But Captain, is it wise to burn
    a fire out in the open like this?
**[12:54] ---**
    It's like we're just announcing
    that we're here.
**[12:55] ---**
    What if the enemy attacks?
**[13:01] ---**
    If they want to attack, so be it.
**[13:04] ---**
    I have a hunch this mission
    is to clarify
**[13:06] ---**
    whether they're friend or foe.
**[13:13] ---**
    That's amazing.
**[13:15] ---**
    He's only been told the superficial
    facts of the mission,
**[13:18] ---**
    but he's figured out
    its true purpose.
**[13:21] ---**
    We should eat too.
**[13:23] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[13:29] ---**
    In a way, this symbolizes
    the ANBU perfectly.
**[13:32] ---**
    What does?
**[13:33] ---**
    They sit out in the sun and
    enjoy a hot-pot together.
**[13:37] ---**
    While we sit in the shadows
    and eat food pills.
**[13:39] ---**
    I don't mind. I realize that
    this is part of the job.
**[13:44] ---**
    I see.
**[14:02] ---**
    You're with the Hannya Black Ops
    of the Land of Woods, correct?
**[14:05] ---**
    Indeed we are.
    Now hand over the scroll!
**[14:08] ---**
    - All right then at the same time...
    - You first.
**[14:11] ---**
    Fine then.
**[14:19] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[14:21] ---**
    And your scroll?
**[14:23] ---**
    Here it is.
**[14:26] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:33] ---**
    We're supposed to
    exchange scrolls, not fire!
**[14:38] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf reneged on
    our agreement and attacked us.
**[14:42] ---**
    We shall seek retribution.
**[14:44] ---**
    What a bold-faced lie.
**[14:46] ---**
    You're the one who broke
    the agreement!
**[14:53] ---**
    Captain?!
**[14:54] ---**
    They planned on betraying us
    from the beginning!
**[14:57] ---**
    We'll take over from here.
**[14:59] ---**
    - You guys get away from here.
    - You guys?!
**[15:01] ---**
    - ANBU?!
    - Reinforcements!
**[15:03] ---**
    - Earth Style!
    - Earth Style!
**[15:04] ---**
    - Rock Collapse!
    - Rock Collapse!
**[15:07] ---**
    Run!
**[15:11] ---**
    Earth Style... Mud Wall!
**[15:25] ---**
    Get out of here, you two!
**[15:27] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[15:31] ---**
    Rumor has it that
    you'd kill a comrade
**[15:33] ---**
    for the sake of a mission.
**[15:35] ---**
    I'll never let
    my friends get killed.
**[15:39] ---**
    That's why I was entrusted
    with this Sharingan.
**[15:43] ---**
    You get away from here too.
**[15:44] ---**
    Like I'd turn my back on a mission!
**[15:47] ---**
    Get on with it!
**[15:49] ---**
    - Earth Style!
    - Earth Style!
**[15:50] ---**
    - Rock Collapse!
    - Rock Collapse!
**[15:55] ---**
    Eight Inner Gates:
    Fifth Gate of Closing!
**[15:58] ---**
    Open!
**[16:03] ---**
    He did that of all that
    using only taijutsu?!
**[16:04] ---**
    Save the admiration for later!
**[16:24] ---**
    Retreat! Retreat!
**[16:51] ---**
    Your mission's complete.
**[16:53] ---**
    Return to the village.
**[16:58] ---**
    Hey, what are you doing?!
**[17:01] ---**
    This is the mission
    we were assigned.
**[17:05] ---**
    Even still. Stop, Kakashi!
**[17:08] ---**
    Hey!
**[17:09] ---**
    What kind of idiot
    calls someone by their name
**[17:10] ---**
    while they're on an ANBU mission?!
**[17:12] ---**
    You!
**[17:17] ---**
    Not to worry, Captain.
**[17:19] ---**
    No enemy survivors remain.
**[17:32] ---**
    I'm going to report back
    to Lord Danzo.
**[17:34] ---**
    Your part of the mission
    is complete.
**[17:37] ---**
    Captain...
**[17:38] ---**
    That Sharingan wasn't
    originally yours, was it?
**[17:43] ---**
    No...
**[17:44] ---**
    Aren't you uncomfortable
    about possessing a power
**[17:47] ---**
    that wasn't your own?
**[17:49] ---**
    You're not an Uchiha.
**[17:52] ---**
    But you possess the Sharingan,
**[17:55] ---**
    so you wield the same power
    as the Uchiha.
**[17:58] ---**
    Whose side are you on?
**[18:01] ---**
    I've never thought about it
    in that way.
**[18:03] ---**
    A friend entrusted
    this Sharingan to me...
**[18:08] ---**
    who made me promise never to
    forget what's important.
**[18:12] ---**
    A friend?
**[18:15] ---**
    To never let a friend get killed.
**[18:26] ---**
    I see, well done.
**[18:29] ---**
    Lord Third...
**[18:31] ---**
    I understand why you said that
    the ANBU is not suited for me.
**[18:35] ---**
    I see...
**[18:36] ---**
    But I don't think that Kakashi is
    suited to be in the ANBU either.
**[18:43] ---**
    Is that so?
**[18:46] ---**
    How did the newbie do?
**[18:48] ---**
    He passed with flying colors.
    He'll be a better ANBU than me.
**[18:54] ---**
    No, you're an exceptional ANBU,
    Senpai...
**[18:58] ---**
    There's a darkness associated
    with ANBU missions.
**[19:02] ---**
    Why are you saying this
    all of a sudden?
**[19:05] ---**
    All of a sudden? You're right.
**[19:08] ---**
    Deception and killing is
    all part of the mission...
**[19:21] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[19:23] ---**
    Let's go home together, Sasuke!
**[19:25] ---**
    Okay! So you're done
    with your mission?
**[19:30] ---**
    Big Brother! Guess what?
**[19:32] ---**
    My Sensei praised me
    at the Academy today.
**[19:46] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi...
**[19:48] ---**
    Sorry about what happened
    during the mission.
**[19:52] ---**
    No... I'm sorry too.
**[20:01] ---**
    Some of you may be aware,
**[20:04] ---**
    but my son Itachi has
    joined the ANBU.
**[20:07] ---**
    Being in close vicinity to
    the Hokage and the top ranks
**[20:10] ---**
    means access to more information.
**[20:13] ---**
    And that is a boon
    for the Uchiha Clan.
**[20:18] ---**
    Itachi, do you have
    anything to report?
**[20:21] ---**
    Well...
**[20:25] ---**
    I'm still new,
    so there's not much to report.
**[20:29] ---**
    However, I don't think
    there's solidarity
**[20:30] ---**
    in the higher ranks of the Leaf.
**[20:34] ---**
    It's my belief that how
    the Uchiha Clan deals with this
**[20:38] ---**
    will determine the future
    of the Hidden Leaf.
**[20:42] ---**
    Exactly. By all rights,
**[20:45] ---**
    the Uchiha Clan must be involved
    in the future of the Hidden Leaf.
**[20:47] ---**
    - That's right!
    - Right!
**[20:51] ---**
    - Yeah!
    - Yes, that's right!
**[21:00] ---**
    That's the...
**[22:38] ---**
    Since you've been in the ANBU,
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    this is a mission that
    cannot be avoided.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    What kind of mission is this?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Six years ago, during
    the incident with the Nine Tails,
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    The top ranks suspected
    that was the Uchiha's doing.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Since then, there's been
    round-the-clock surveillance
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    in the Uchiha district.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *Coup D'état*
    
    
    
**[01:47] ---**
    You're part of the ANBU now and
**[01:49] ---**
    this is one mission
    you cannot avoid.
**[01:52] ---**
    What kind of mission is this?
**[01:54] ---**
    When the Nine Tails incident
    occurred six years ago,
**[01:57] ---**
    the higher-ups suspected
    the Uchiha Clan was behind it.
**[02:02] ---**
    Since then, the Uchiha district has been
    under 24-hour surveillance.
**[02:12] ---**
    Lord Third! The Nine Tails!
**[02:15] ---**
    The Nine Tails has suddenly
    appeared in the Village!
**[02:19] ---**
    I'm aware of that!
**[02:20] ---**
    I will suppress it.
**[02:22] ---**
    You and the others,
    protect the civilians!
**[02:25] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[02:28] ---**
    You should have ordered the Uchiha
    Police Force to guard the civilians
**[02:32] ---**
    and kept them in the rear.
**[02:34] ---**
    We can use the Visual Prowess of
    the Uchiha to suppress the Nine Tails!
**[02:39] ---**
    They can also manipulate
    the Nine Tails!
**[02:42] ---**
    If they take control of the Nine Tails,
    and use it to their advantage,
**[02:47] ---**
    it will be like the second coming
    of Madara Uchiha.
**[02:56] ---**
    I will leave you to
    protect the civilians.
**[02:59] ---**
    Order the ANBU and
    security units as you wish.
**[03:02] ---**
    Guard the village youth as well.
**[03:05] ---**
    Understood.
**[03:10] ---**
    This way, hurry!
**[03:17] ---**
    Calm down!
**[03:19] ---**
    You're safe here.
**[03:21] ---**
    Captain, we should go and assist.
**[03:24] ---**
    The Police Force will guard
    the civilians.
**[03:27] ---**
    But Captain...!
**[03:29] ---**
    That's the order from the Village.
**[03:36] ---**
    It's over there!
**[03:51] ---**
    There, there. You're scared, huh?
**[03:54] ---**
    Now's our chance.
    Let's get you to safety.
**[04:06] ---**
    There are too many
    unanswered questions
**[04:08] ---**
    surrounding this recent
    Nine Tails incident.
**[04:10] ---**
    I thought that Kushina's seal
    had been broken.
**[04:13] ---**
    But that doesn't explain why Biwako
    and the ANBU were killed.
**[04:18] ---**
    Which means someone is behind this.
**[04:21] ---**
    Like someone from the Uchiha?
**[04:24] ---**
    Why do you say that?
**[04:25] ---**
    Even if the Nine Tails broke free,
    it would have just gone wild.
**[04:29] ---**
    Without someone to control it,
    it couldn't have caused this incident.
**[04:33] ---**
    Hence, the Sharingan...
**[04:35] ---**
    The Uchiha can control the Nine Tails
    with their Visual Prowess...
**[04:39] ---**
    But for what purpose?
**[04:41] ---**
    To regain their position of power
    within the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[04:44] ---**
    I see...
**[04:46] ---**
    That's just conjecture.
**[04:49] ---**
    We must increase our surveillance
    of the Uchiha.
**[04:54] ---**
    We must keep them
    under 24-hour watch.
**[04:58] ---**
    That's bound to
    incite them unnecessarily!
**[05:01] ---**
    Let the ANBU do it secretly.
**[05:04] ---**
    Better to be safe than sorry.
**[05:07] ---**
    Wait!
**[05:08] ---**
    We don't know if the Uchiha
    are responsible for this.
**[05:11] ---**
    That's precisely why
    this is necessary.
**[05:13] ---**
    And if nothing comes out of it...
**[05:15] ---**
    it will be to the Uchiha's benefit.
**[05:22] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
**[05:37] ---**
    Kushina...
**[05:41] ---**
    Time to switch.
**[05:43] ---**
    Nothing to report.
**[05:45] ---**
    This is...
**[05:46] ---**
    This isn't the only
    surveillance center around.
**[05:48] ---**
    Lord Danzo's ANBU are
    also watching them.
**[05:51] ---**
    Now what'll you do?
**[05:52] ---**
    Notify your clan about this?
**[05:55] ---**
    What is my job here?
**[05:58] ---**
    Just keep watching through that.
**[06:01] ---**
    Okay, Captain. We're going.
**[06:04] ---**
    Stay alert, Itachi.
**[06:09] ---**
    This is part of our job as ANBU.
**[06:12] ---**
    It's not assassination
**[06:13] ---**
    but it's still dirty work.
**[06:16] ---**
    A mission is a mission.
**[06:18] ---**
    You'll be spying on your friends
    and family. It's even dirtier.
**[06:24] ---**
    I can take this shift,
    if you want.
**[06:25] ---**
    No, that's not necessary.
    Besides...
**[06:28] ---**
    Besides?
**[06:30] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan is aware
    that they're under suspicion.
**[06:37] ---**
    I guess you would be.
**[06:42] ---**
    Go to hell!
**[06:44] ---**
    What the hell was that for?!
**[06:46] ---**
    You're the one that...
**[06:49] ---**
    It's your fault.
**[06:50] ---**
    - It wasn't me!
    - Sure, it was!
**[06:52] ---**
    Hey, stop that!
**[06:54] ---**
    Hey, what's going on?!
**[06:57] ---**
    Calm down!
**[06:59] ---**
    Why you...!
**[07:01] ---**
    Who needs the Police Force?!
**[07:03] ---**
    Just go and hide like you did
    with the Nine Tails!
**[07:06] ---**
    What did you say?
**[07:09] ---**
    Ow ow ow!
**[07:10] ---**
    We're taking you both into custody!
**[07:12] ---**
    Let me go!
**[07:13] ---**
    Be quiet and walk!
**[07:16] ---**
    It was just a drunken argument...
**[07:17] ---**
    Couldn't they just
    stop the fighting?
**[07:23] ---**
    Complaints about harsh treatment
    by the Police Force are on the rise.
**[07:28] ---**
    People have started
    to distrust them.
**[07:32] ---**
    The Uchiha are growing impudent.
**[07:34] ---**
    No, it's backlash.
**[07:37] ---**
    The negativity from the Nine Tails' incident
    six years ago still hangs over them.
**[07:42] ---**
    The Uchiha didn't suffer
    any damage that time.
**[07:45] ---**
    That is the cause of suspicion...
**[07:48] ---**
    Furthermore, the Uchiha viewed
    our distancing them from the Nine Tails
**[07:53] ---**
    as a sign of
    the Hidden Leaf's distrust.
**[07:58] ---**
    Our strategy of isolating the Uchiha
    is a fundamental policy of the Leaf
**[08:02] ---**
    put in place by Lord Second.
**[08:04] ---**
    Why are they raising a fuss
    after all this time?
**[08:06] ---**
    The Lord Second's intention
    wasn't isolation.
**[08:09] ---**
    He was just concerned for each clan.
**[08:11] ---**
    Have you forgotten about
    our friend Kagami Uchiha?
**[08:15] ---**
    I haven't forgotten.
**[08:17] ---**
    He saved me many times
    with his Visual Jutsu.
**[08:21] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan is
    a friend of the Hidden Leaf.
**[08:24] ---**
    We must ensure
    they stay that way.
**[08:27] ---**
    If we can...
**[08:39] ---**
    Calm down!
**[08:40] ---**
    A genjutsu!
    But when did that happen?
**[08:46] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[08:57] ---**
    We're retreating!
**[08:58] ---**
    But Captain...!
**[09:00] ---**
    It's Shisui Uchiha,
    the Teleporter of the Leaf.
**[09:04] ---**
    We're no match for him. Retreat!
**[09:11] ---**
    That should keep the Hidden Mist
    quiet for a while.
**[09:18] ---**
    Team Shisui has returned and
    our mission was successfully completed.
**[09:21] ---**
    That was a long mission.
    Thank you for your hard work.
**[09:25] ---**
    Go and rest.
**[09:28] ---**
    I have a request, Lord Third.
**[09:38] ---**
    I'm very troubled by the suspicion
    cast upon the Uchiha Clan.
**[09:42] ---**
    So am I.
**[09:45] ---**
    I'm hoping that
    my clan and the Village
**[09:47] ---**
    will be able to trust
    each other again.
**[09:50] ---**
    Will you assign this mission to me?
**[09:54] ---**
    Do you want to be released
    from your regular duties?
**[09:57] ---**
    Yes. And I'd like to be given
    a certain amount of authority.
**[10:03] ---**
    All right. Let's say I ordered you on
    a top-secret investigative mission.
**[10:09] ---**
    If anyone objects, tell them my name,
**[10:13] ---**
    and I will take full responsibility.
**[10:16] ---**
    Thank you.
**[10:18] ---**
    You remind me so much
    of my old friend, Kagami Uchiha.
**[10:24] ---**
    I am nowhere near his caliber.
**[10:35] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[10:36] ---**
    Are you done with your mission?
**[10:38] ---**
    If you are, help me train!
**[10:41] ---**
    Sorry, Sasuke.
    I have an urgent summons.
**[10:55] ---**
    We played here a lot.
**[10:57] ---**
    So you were back.
**[10:59] ---**
    Yeah. We finally chased
    the Hidden Mist away.
**[11:03] ---**
    Why did you want to see me?
**[11:05] ---**
    I want to hear
    your honest opinion.
**[11:08] ---**
    How serious do you think Fugaku is?
**[11:11] ---**
    What do you mean by serious?
**[11:14] ---**
    A coup d'état.
**[11:16] ---**
    Dissatisfaction towards the Village
    is growing among the Uchiha.
**[11:20] ---**
    If the Village doesn't change,
    the Uchiha won't stand for it anymore.
**[11:25] ---**
    If the Village changes,
    so will the Uchiha.
**[11:27] ---**
    But if the Uchiha doesn't change,
    neither will the Village.
**[11:31] ---**
    As long as the two sides
    distrust each other,
**[11:33] ---**
    things will only get worse.
**[11:37] ---**
    I want to clear up that suspicion.
**[11:39] ---**
    You think you can?
**[11:41] ---**
    I don't know, but I have to try...
**[11:44] ---**
    If the Uchiha attempts a coup d'état,
    it will bode badly for both sides.
**[11:50] ---**
    I'm against a coup d'état as well.
**[11:53] ---**
    But it will take something big
    to stop it.
**[11:56] ---**
    I know.
    But you shouldn't do anything.
**[11:59] ---**
    Why's that?
**[12:01] ---**
    Some members on the Police Force
    are suspicious of you...
**[12:05] ---**
    and I've been ordered
    to spy on you.
**[12:16] ---**
    What?!
**[12:18] ---**
    Do you know what day tomorrow is?!
**[12:21] ---**
    You don't understand
    your own position!
**[12:24] ---**
    I'm setting out on
    a mission tomorrow.
**[12:27] ---**
    What kind of mission?
**[12:29] ---**
    I can't tell you...
    It's top-secret.
**[12:35] ---**
    Itachi... You also serve as
    the Uchiha Clan's pipeline
**[12:38] ---**
    to the Village nerve center.
**[12:41] ---**
    You know that, don't you?
**[12:45] ---**
    Yes...
**[12:46] ---**
    Bear that in mind.
**[12:49] ---**
    And come to tomorrow's assembly!
**[12:55] ---**
    The Uchiha are assembling
    again tonight.
**[12:59] ---**
    I know about it as well.
**[13:02] ---**
    But we cannot interfere
    with their clan rituals.
**[13:06] ---**
    Rituals indeed!
**[13:08] ---**
    They're going to fan the flames
    of distrust against us,
**[13:12] ---**
    then use it to unite the clan.
**[13:15] ---**
    They are preparing for a coup d'état.
**[13:18] ---**
    And the one to nip it
    in the bud is...
**[13:21] ---**
    Shisui!
**[13:24] ---**
    Shisui Uchiha?
**[13:26] ---**
    Shisui will attend the assembly.
**[13:28] ---**
    And if Fugaku Uchiha incites
    a rebellion...
**[13:33] ---**
    I will use my Kotoamatsukami.
**[13:36] ---**
    Your Visual Jutsu...
**[13:38] ---**
    He will have no clue that Shisui
    is controlling his actions.
**[13:41] ---**
    He will believe that
    his words are his own.
**[13:44] ---**
    I'm going to make Fugaku think
    about co-existence with the Village.
**[13:47] ---**
    I don't think that
    controlling only Fugaku
**[13:50] ---**
    will put an end to
    the Uchiha's dissatisfaction.
**[13:53] ---**
    No. If the Uchiha will change,
    then we of the Leaf must change too.
**[13:58] ---**
    Let us improve our relations
    with the Uchiha.
**[14:01] ---**
    That is my hope.
**[14:03] ---**
    I will assign one ANBU
    behind the scenes.
**[14:06] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Shisui.
**[14:08] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[14:17] ---**
    Itachi isn't coming, is he?
**[14:27] ---**
    *He's late.*
**[14:30] ---**
    What is it, Lord Danzo?
**[14:32] ---**
    It's almost time for
    the assembly to start.
**[14:35] ---**
    Even if you use your Visual Jutsu
    on Fugaku to get the clan to cooperate,
**[14:39] ---**
    what if the Village doesn't change?
**[14:42] ---**
    Lord Hokage has promised
    to make it change.
**[14:46] ---**
    Even if Lord Third is satisfied,
**[14:48] ---**
    the distrust among
    the Leaf will not go away.
**[14:51] ---**
    I realize that. But in time...
**[14:55] ---**
    Besides, someone who's always suspicious
    like me will never change.
**[15:01] ---**
    What will you do then?
**[15:03] ---**
    But Lord Danzo...
**[15:05] ---**
    When the time comes,
**[15:07] ---**
    will you use your Kotoamatsukami
    on me too?
**[15:10] ---**
    I'm...
**[15:11] ---**
    Your Sharingan...
    shall be in my safekeeping!
**[15:14] ---**
    Forgive me.
**[15:18] ---**
    It's only genjutsu...
    You'll snap out of it shortly.
**[15:41] ---**
    *Sharingan?!*
**[15:42] ---**
    I'm going to take it
    to replace this eye.
**[15:45] ---**
    Give me the other one too.
**[15:48] ---**
    *Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!*
**[15:51] ---**
    Water Style! Raging Waves!
**[15:58] ---**
    It's a Teleportation Jutsu!
**[16:00] ---**
    Go after him.
**[16:07] ---**
    Is that you, Shisui?
**[16:08] ---**
    Come with me.
**[16:16] ---**
    It's too late to stop
    the coup d'état by the Uchiha.
**[16:20] ---**
    If civil war breaks out
    in the Leaf Village,
**[16:22] ---**
    other nations are sure
    to attack...
**[16:24] ---**
    which means a full-scale war.
**[16:26] ---**
    I was going to try to stop
    the coup d'état with Kotoamatsukami, but...
**[16:30] ---**
    Lord Danzo took my right eye...
**[16:33] ---**
    He doesn't trust me.
**[16:35] ---**
    He intends to protect
    the Village his own way,
**[16:38] ---**
    no matter what it takes
    or how it looks.
**[16:40] ---**
    I suspect he'll come after
    my left eye as well.
**[16:42] ---**
    So I want to give it to you
    before he has a chance.
**[16:46] ---**
    *Shisui.*
**[16:48] ---**
    You're the only person I can count on,
    my best friend.
**[16:51] ---**
    Please protect this Village...
    and the honor of the Uchiha name.
**[17:14] ---**
    I accept it.
**[17:16] ---**
    What will you do now?
**[17:18] ---**
    If I die, several circumstances
    will change.
**[17:21] ---**
    I've left behind a note already...
**[17:23] ---**
    Wait, Shisui!
**[17:24] ---**
    Don't stop me, Itachi.
**[17:31] ---**
    If you're my friend...
**[17:35] ---**
    Shisui!
**[17:40] ---**
    Shisui...
**[17:46] ---**
    Oww! What are you accusing me of?!
**[17:49] ---**
    Just be quiet!
**[17:50] ---**
    Don't be so rough.
**[17:52] ---**
    Captain...
**[17:54] ---**
    You are a suspect...
**[17:56] ---**
    and you're coming to
    Headquarters with us.
**[17:58] ---**
    F-Fine...
**[18:00] ---**
    Remember to follow
    our investigative procedures!
**[18:02] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[18:04] ---**
    C'mon, move.
**[18:08] ---**
    Shisui Uchiha was a core member
    of the Uchiha.
**[18:12] ---**
    His suicide demoralized and
    lessened their fighting power all at once.
**[18:18] ---**
    So the coup d'état has been foiled.
**[18:22] ---**
    Are you saying
    there was no other way
**[18:25] ---**
    but for Shisui to give his life?
**[18:28] ---**
    I shouldn't have pushed him...
**[18:31] ---**
    There are a few among the Uchiha
**[18:33] ---**
    who believe that you killed Shisui.
**[18:37] ---**
    The ones who believe that
    did not know
**[18:40] ---**
    that Shisui and I were working
    towards the same goal.
**[18:44] ---**
    Shisui did not appear at
    our rendezvous point.
**[18:48] ---**
    He had secrets,
    so he was suspected.
**[18:52] ---**
    I will notify the ANBU that
    it was officially a suicide.
**[18:55] ---**
    Agreed, Hiruzen?
**[19:35] ---**
    That's the Lightning Blade!
**[19:36] ---**
    You're...the Copy Ninja of the Leaf!
**[19:41] ---**
    Kaka...shi...
**[19:45] ---**
    You've become quite well known.
**[19:49] ---**
    Do it long enough and
    you're bound to become famous.
**[19:52] ---**
    Clear the area.
**[19:53] ---**
    Leave no trace of the Hidden Leaf.
**[19:56] ---**
    Yeah, yeah. I know.
**[19:59] ---**
    Dirty work is part of
    the ANBU's modus operandi.
**[20:08] ---**
    You said that a friend gave
    your Sharingan to you.
**[20:12] ---**
    Along with a wish.
**[20:15] ---**
    Do you need to honor that wish?
**[20:18] ---**
    Yes, I intend to.
**[20:24] ---**
    I know about
    the Shisui Uchiha incident.
**[20:27] ---**
    Is it about that?
**[20:28] ---**
    No, I'm fine.
**[20:30] ---**
    I see...
**[20:32] ---**
    Anyway, there's not a lot I can do,
    but let me know if there's anything.
**[20:36] ---**
    Yes.
**[20:43] ---**
    *You're the only person I can count on,*
    *my best friend.*
**[20:46] ---**
    *Please protect this Village...*
    *and the honor of the Uchiha name.*
**[20:52] ---**
    *Shisui.*
**[20:54] ---**
    *Things have gotten much worse*
    *since then.*
**[20:57] ---**
    *I don't think*
    *I can protect everyone.*
**[22:37] ---**
    It seems someone has been
    infiltrating the Village recently.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    The only thing we can do is
    to ask the Police Force
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    to step up their patrols.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    What happened?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    I went to the Uchiha District
    for the first time in a long time.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It felt like they didn't want
    any outsiders there.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Night of the Tragedy"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    I see...
**[23:00] ---**
    THE NIGHT OF THE TRAGEDY

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Night of the Tragedy*
    
    
    
**[01:35] ---**
    Due to an increasing amount of assignments,
**[01:37] ---**
    I've decided to add
    an additional team to the ANBU.
**[01:40] ---**
    Itachi, I'm appointing you captain.
**[01:43] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[01:44] ---**
    I'm not opposed,
    but you are very young.
**[01:48] ---**
    How old are you?
**[01:49] ---**
    I'm thirteen.
**[01:52] ---**
    There are a number of shinobi who
    were younger and have become jonin.
**[01:56] ---**
    Just two years in the ANBU
    and already a captain.
**[02:00] ---**
    He must be the youngest captain
    the ANBU has ever had.
**[02:03] ---**
    I shall assign my ANBU agents
    to this new team.
**[02:14] ---**
    So does that mean you're going to
    be transferred to Lord Danzo's ANBU?
**[02:18] ---**
    I wonder?
**[02:19] ---**
    Try not to get caught in between
    the political wrangling of the higher-ups.
**[02:24] ---**
    Captain Kakashi...
**[02:27] ---**
    Thank you for the past two years.
**[02:29] ---**
    Come on now.
    You're only changing sections.
**[02:31] ---**
    You're still a Hidden Leaf shinobi.
**[02:33] ---**
    It's not like you're going far away.
**[02:37] ---**
    TRAINING GROUND THREE
    
**[02:39] ---**
    He's 13 years old.
**[02:41] ---**
    And they're making him a captain?
**[02:43] ---**
    Well, he's an extraordinary shinobi.
**[02:47] ---**
    Sure, he has the Sharingan.
    But making captain at 13 is unheard of.
**[02:53] ---**
    What's up, Yugao?
**[02:54] ---**
    I've been assigned to Team Ro,
    starting from today.
**[02:58] ---**
    So you're the replacement?
**[03:00] ---**
    I'll do my best, Kakashi Senpai.
**[03:08] ---**
    All right. Attention!
**[03:11] ---**
    I'm looking forward to your good work.
**[03:14] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[03:21] ---**
    I've gotten reports that the Police Force
    is strengthening their armaments.
**[03:26] ---**
    What do you make of this?
**[03:29] ---**
    Dissatisfaction towards the Hidden Leaf
    is running high among the Uchiha.
**[03:35] ---**
    We can't ignore it anymore, it seems.
**[03:37] ---**
    Yes...
**[03:41] ---**
    You are aware of
    the Leaf's barrier system?
**[03:45] ---**
    It senses when the Village
    has been infiltrated.
**[03:50] ---**
    Someone has been getting through
    the barrier undetected.
**[03:56] ---**
    Even among the Hidden Leaf,
**[03:58] ---**
    only a few know the secret code
    to pass through the barrier.
**[04:02] ---**
    Either there's a traitor in our midst,
**[04:04] ---**
    or a jutsu user who
    can break the barrier.
**[04:08] ---**
    If it's a traitor,
**[04:10] ---**
    we can smoke him out by changing
    the jutsu formula.
**[04:14] ---**
    I believe it's someone capable of
    passing through the barrier with a jutsu.
**[04:18] ---**
    I don't want to believe that.
**[04:23] ---**
    I want you to look into this.
**[04:27] ---**
    This is a chart of the barrier placements.
**[04:29] ---**
    The alert is high in some spots.
**[04:33] ---**
    Where is this?
**[04:35] ---**
    The area around Uchiha District.
**[04:37] ---**
    If possible, we'd like to install
    a barrier system there,
**[04:40] ---**
    but it's a self-governing district
    and our hands are tied.
**[04:43] ---**
    Make sure your investigation
    does not trace back to the ANBU.
**[05:14] ---**
    Get this!
**[05:15] ---**
    There's no way
    I'm going to lose to you!
**[05:17] ---**
    Keep on blabbing.
**[05:19] ---**
    Shut up!
**[05:20] ---**
    You shut up.
**[05:24] ---**
    Curious finding you here.
**[05:27] ---**
    What brings you to the Academy
    after so long?
**[05:29] ---**
    I've been appointed a jonin leader,
    in charge of the genin.
**[05:33] ---**
    So you're going to look after the genin?
**[05:36] ---**
    But I'm a bit worried about
    the kind of students I'm getting.
**[05:41] ---**
    Quit acting so high and mighty, Sasuke!
**[05:45] ---**
    You're so annoying.
**[05:48] ---**
    Why you…!
**[05:51] ---**
    Students like that will
    be hard to handle.
**[05:55] ---**
    Come with me, will you?
**[05:58] ---**
    You want to spar?
**[06:00] ---**
    Let's just take a walk.
**[06:04] ---**
    This is the Uchiha District.
**[06:07] ---**
    This part of town has character.
**[06:10] ---**
    It's the first time
    I've been here in a long time.
**[06:12] ---**
    I used to come here a lot...
**[06:15] ---**
    long ago.
**[06:16] ---**
    Now that's a rice cracker shop
    with character.
**[06:51] ---**
    *Hey, what're you doing?*
**[06:55] ---**
    *It's way past our rendezvous time.*
**[07:08] ---**
    Is there something special
    about this house?
**[07:09] ---**
    It's nothing.
**[07:10] ---**
    These rice crackers are really good.
**[07:13] ---**
    They're worth coming all the way here for.
**[07:16] ---**
    They've got some other stuff
    you can only find here.
**[07:19] ---**
    You've got to show me!
**[07:24] ---**
    Where are we?
**[07:26] ---**
    Nakano Shrine,
    home of the Uchiha's patron deity.
**[07:29] ---**
    I'm an agnostic.
**[07:32] ---**
    Just be a sport and go pull
    a fortune for yourself.
**[07:40] ---**
    Captain Kakashi!
**[07:42] ---**
    Itachi...
**[07:43] ---**
    What are you doing here?
**[07:46] ---**
    I was thinking about
    something from the past.
**[07:48] ---**
    How about you?
**[07:50] ---**
    I'm from here.
**[07:52] ---**
    I come here often.
**[07:53] ---**
    How is it being a captain?
**[07:56] ---**
    There's no change.
    I have the same kind of missions.
**[08:01] ---**
    I see...
**[08:03] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[08:04] ---**
    I got "Excellent Luck"!
    I drew "Excellent Luck"!
**[08:12] ---**
    There's not enough intel to
    figure out who the infiltrator is
**[08:16] ---**
    or what he wants.
**[08:19] ---**
    We need to place agents at
    every section of the barrier system
**[08:23] ---**
    to coordinate with the barrier team.
**[08:26] ---**
    Without infiltration tactics,
    it's impossible to track down the culprit.
**[08:32] ---**
    Unfortunately, we can't spare
    the manpower for such an operation.
**[08:38] ---**
    All we can do is to ask the Police Force
    to step up their patrols, but…
**[08:42] ---**
    What is it?
**[08:43] ---**
    Well…
**[08:45] ---**
    I went to the Uchiha District
    for the first time in a long time.
**[08:48] ---**
    Something about the atmosphere
    had changed.
**[08:52] ---**
    I'd describe it as...tense.
**[08:54] ---**
    Were they antisocial?
**[08:56] ---**
    Yes, they were. It felt like
    they didn't want any outsiders there.
**[09:03] ---**
    I see...
**[09:04] ---**
    I'll discuss the Police Force
    with the executive committee.
**[09:09] ---**
    You have completed your mission.
**[09:15] ---**
    How convenient.
**[09:16] ---**
    Under the pretext of village security,
    we'll create a new patrol unit.
**[09:21] ---**
    We'll switch over duties from the Police Force
    and reduce their strength.
**[09:26] ---**
    No, that will only incite the Uchiha.
**[09:30] ---**
    We'll make the Police Force
    oversee the patrols
**[09:33] ---**
    and increase their workload.
**[09:36] ---**
    At a time when we should
    be stopping their coup d'état,
**[09:39] ---**
    why would you increase
    the Uchiha's power?
**[09:42] ---**
    I will not allow the Uchiha
    to stage a coup d'état!
**[09:45] ---**
    That goes without saying!
    As if we'd let them.
**[09:49] ---**
    Calm down, both of you.
**[09:51] ---**
    We don't know if there will
    be a coup or not.
**[09:54] ---**
    We should bide our time and
    see how it pans out.
**[09:58] ---**
    That is why we have Itachi.
    Isn't that right?
**[10:08] ---**
    Isn't Itachi coming?
**[10:10] ---**
    He's on a mission.
**[10:26] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan intends to
    revolt against the Hidden Leaf.
**[10:30] ---**
    What?
**[10:32] ---**
    You obtained proof of that?
**[10:34] ---**
    Yes...
**[10:41] ---**
    Hey.
**[10:49] ---**
    There's something I want you
    to help me with.
**[11:01] ---**
    I will not let the Uchiha stage
    a coup d'état.
**[11:04] ---**
    That's one thing we agree on.
**[11:12] ---**
    Hold on now! We haven't come to
    a conclusion yet!
**[11:14] ---**
    If the Uchiha are getting ready to act,
    we must prepare too.
**[11:20] ---**
    Preparations only, Danzo.
**[11:32] ---**
    Tonight is the night.
**[11:34] ---**
    Fine. I shall assist you as promised.
**[11:37] ---**
    I'm counting on you.
**[11:41] ---**
    I'm going to help you annihilate
    the Uchiha
**[11:44] ---**
    because I have another goal.
**[11:47] ---**
    I want you to keep
    your "eyes closed" for that...
**[11:49] ---**
    So I'm not to use my Sharingan against
    whatever you're planning?
**[11:53] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:54] ---**
    Then I will guarantee that
    I will not kill your little brother...
**[11:58] ---**
    I have no use for a child
    without the Sharingan.
**[12:01] ---**
    And that's supposed to reassure me?
**[12:03] ---**
    At this point, I have no other choice
    but to trust you.
**[12:08] ---**
    If you need a place to go,
    join my organization.
**[12:11] ---**
    Your organization?
**[12:12] ---**
    I call it the Akatsuki.
**[12:22] ---**
    ANBU
**[12:28] ---**
    It's an Emergency Alert, Level 1!
**[12:30] ---**
    Get ready to move out! Hurry!
**[12:35] ---**
    Identify yourself!
**[12:58] ---**
    Move out!
**[13:00] ---**
    My team will go to the Hidden Leaf
    Police Force Headquarters!
**[13:03] ---**
    My team will go to Uchiha District!
**[13:12] ---**
    This is horrible!
**[13:14] ---**
    What the hell?
**[13:18] ---**
    Rescue anyone who is still alive!
**[13:21] ---**
    There's a survivor!
**[13:24] ---**
    Take him to the Medical Unit!
**[13:32] ---**
    Everyone else is dead.
**[13:37] ---**
    Take away the corpses.
**[13:39] ---**
    I mean, every single one.
**[13:41] ---**
    Check inside the buildings as well.
**[13:42] ---**
    Who could have done such a thing?
**[13:47] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha.
**[13:49] ---**
    Itachi?!
**[13:50] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha despised his clan.
**[13:55] ---**
    That is why he killed Shisui
    and took his eyes,
**[13:58] ---**
    and caused in-fighting among
    his brethren...and then finally...
**[14:04] ---**
    He caused this atrocity.
**[14:07] ---**
    But, why would he...?
**[14:10] ---**
    Enough talking. Get to work!
**[14:16] ---**
    This settles everything.
**[14:19] ---**
    What does this settle?
**[14:20] ---**
    Don't you see the huge problem
    we're left with?!
**[14:25] ---**
    I consider it very minor.
**[14:27] ---**
    Danzo, I cannot allow you to act
    on your own authority any longer.
**[14:33] ---**
    As of this moment,
**[14:34] ---**
    you are relieved of your duties
    as second in command.
**[14:36] ---**
    But Hiruzen, I did it for...
**[14:38] ---**
    "The good of the Leaf"?
**[14:40] ---**
    Well then, the Uchiha Clan belonged
    to the Hidden Leaf.
**[14:44] ---**
    Your ANBU and Foundation
    will be dissolved!
**[14:46] ---**
    I will deal with you later.
**[14:49] ---**
    Until then,
    you are confined to your quarters!
**[14:56] ---**
    Lord Danzo, the body count
    doesn't match up.
**[14:59] ---**
    What did you say?
**[15:00] ---**
    It's like they just disappeared.
**[15:05] ---**
    I witnessed everything.
**[15:11] ---**
    And I will continue to watch.
**[15:15] ---**
    If you as much as touch Sasuke,
**[15:17] ---**
    I will pass on classified Village intel
    to every enemy nation.
**[15:25] ---**
    Damn you...
**[15:31] ---**
    If this is the scope of Itachi's hatred,
    it ran very, very deep...
**[15:36] ---**
    Just one survivor...
**[15:38] ---**
    Start taking them away.
**[15:40] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[15:41] ---**
    What a mission, even for an ANBU.
**[16:02] ---**
    *What's up with him?*
**[16:12] ---**
    Hey!
**[16:17] ---**
    The entire clan was annihilated...
**[16:20] ---**
    Not everyone.
    I hear one child survived.
**[16:25] ---**
    What's the difference?
**[16:27] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan is extinct.
**[16:30] ---**
    All except one.
**[16:35] ---**
    I never imagined that Itachi Uchiha
    would be placed in the Bingo Book.
**[16:40] ---**
    ITACHI UCHIHA
    
    In the S-class right from the start.
**[16:43] ---**
    Well, he slaughtered so many of his clan...
**[16:47] ---**
    What's wrong, Senpai?
**[16:49] ---**
    It just goes to show
    I knew nothing about him.
**[16:55] ---**
    I understood nothing.
**[16:58] ---**
    By the way, I hear Uchiha District
    will be razed to the ground.
**[17:02] ---**
    Razed?
**[17:04] ---**
    NO TRESPASSING
    
    A terrible incident took place there.
    No one would want to go near it.
**[17:23] ---**
    *Obito...*
**[17:24] ---**
    *What have I been doing...*
    *since that day?*
**[17:37] ---**
    I know you have something to say...
**[17:41] ---**
    No one is with me.
**[17:43] ---**
    Thank you for your consideration.
**[17:45] ---**
    First, you have my gratitude.
**[17:47] ---**
    Civil war has been averted
    in Hidden Leaf Village.
**[17:50] ---**
    Peace in the village has been maintained.
**[17:53] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:54] ---**
    But even so, I regret that
    there was no other way.
**[18:00] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[18:02] ---**
    I am the one who must apologize.
**[18:04] ---**
    Henceforth, you will be branded
    a Rogue Ninja who killed his entire clan...
**[18:09] ---**
    And be listed in the Bingo Book
    as a fugitive, wanted dead or alive.
**[18:12] ---**
    That goes without saying.
**[18:13] ---**
    What will you do now?
**[18:16] ---**
    I've enlisted the aid of a group
    named Akatsuki.
**[18:19] ---**
    I intend to stay close to them to
    make sure a promise is not broken.
**[18:25] ---**
    You're joining the Akatsuki?
**[18:28] ---**
    Lord Third, will you swear to me
    that you will protect Sasuke?
**[18:34] ---**
    Your younger brother will continue
    to study at the Academy
**[18:39] ---**
    and grow up to become
    a Hidden Leaf shinobi.
**[18:43] ---**
    He will want for nothing, however...
**[18:45] ---**
    I will not be able to erase
    his hatred towards you.
**[18:49] ---**
    I am prepared to bear his hatred.
**[18:53] ---**
    Now go...
**[18:54] ---**
    I will leave the jutsu formula for
    the barrier around the Village unchanged.
**[18:58] ---**
    Whenever you are worried about Sasuke,
    you can sneak in.
**[19:03] ---**
    Lord Third...
**[19:05] ---**
    It's too bad that the Uchiha Clan
    did not understand your compassion.
**[19:12] ---**
    That wasn't it. I was weak...
**[19:15] ---**
    That is what brought on this tragedy.
**[19:20] ---**
    I'm considering a complete makeover
**[19:24] ---**
    of Danzo's Foundation
    and my ANBU.
**[19:28] ---**
    Plus we need a new Police Force.
**[19:32] ---**
    Instead of sticking to one clan,
**[19:35] ---**
    let's have an open recruitment
    for the Police Force.
**[19:37] ---**
    We must think about
    the Leaf Village's future,
**[19:39] ---**
    and find the right person
    for the right job.
**[19:51] ---**
    You wanted to see me?
**[19:54] ---**
    Tell me, Kakashi.
**[19:55] ---**
    How many years have you been
    in the ANBU?
**[19:58] ---**
    I joined during the Fourth Hokage's tenure,
    so...about ten years.
**[20:03] ---**
    Minato's original purpose in making you
    a member of the ANBU
**[20:07] ---**
    was to help you deal with
    the sadness in your heart.
**[20:12] ---**
    He wanted to keep you close to him.
**[20:15] ---**
    I kind of figured that.
**[20:17] ---**
    Then Minato died, and I resumed
    the position of Hokage,
**[20:22] ---**
    and took Minato's ANBU
    under my command.
**[20:25] ---**
    But keeping you by my side
    isn't going to help you.
**[20:32] ---**
    In fact, it will only darken your heart.
**[20:35] ---**
    Take off your mask.
**[20:38] ---**
    Ten years...
**[20:42] ---**
    Perhaps I have asked
    too much of you.
**[20:48] ---**
    You are hereby relieved of
    your duties as an ANBU,
**[20:50] ---**
    and will assume a new position.
**[20:53] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[20:55] ---**
    You will be a jonin leader!
**[20:58] ---**
    Huh?!
**[22:37] ---**
    I have no intention of making people
    who don't work as a team into shinobi!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    You all fail. You're going back
    to the academy.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    That frozen gaze...
    It's darkness itself!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I guess his darkness hasn't
    been dispelled yet.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Jonin Leader"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I guess more time is needed.
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    JONIN LEADER
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!
    
    
**[23:10] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *Jonin Leader*
    
    
**[01:38] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[01:41] ---**
    Come join us for
    some sweet dumplings!
**[01:49] ---**
    *Me? A jonin leader*
    *in charge of genin?**
**[01:55] ---**
    *Minato Sensei…**
**[01:58] ---**
    You're late, Obito!
**[02:00] ---**
    You're finally here…
    You must be Obito.
**[02:03] ---**
    We've been waiting for you.
**[02:05] ---**
    Barely made it…
**[02:06] ---**
    You're really late.
**[02:08] ---**
    We've already introduced ourselves.
    You're the only one left!
**[02:14] ---**
    I'm going to be the Hokage!
**[02:16] ---**
    My name's Obito Uchiha!
**[02:17] ---**
    For my Great Stone Face,
**[02:20] ---**
    make sure my trademark goggles and
    Sharingan are nicely carved out!
**[02:26] ---**
    So I can glare over
    the neighboring lands!
**[02:31] ---**
    I'll scare the hell out of them
    with my Sharingan stare…
**[02:34] ---**
    and no one will
    dare attack our village!
**[02:37] ---**
    Rattle off your instructions
    after you become the Hokage
**[02:39] ---**
    and activate your Sharingan.
**[02:41] ---**
    Besides, how can they carve the Sharingan
    if you're wearing goggles?
**[02:44] ---**
    They can carve it out over my goggles!
**[02:47] ---**
    Then it will look like your eyeballs
    are popping out.
**[02:53] ---**
    Anyway… I'm happy that someone on
    this team shares my dream.
**[02:58] ---**
    I'm Minato.
    From today, I'll be your superior.
**[03:00] ---**
    I'm glad to meet you!
**[03:01] ---**
    Yeah!
**[03:04] ---**
    All right, let's have
    our first practice together.
**[03:07] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[03:09] ---**
    In this training session,
    I want to see your teamwork.
**[03:15] ---**
    Teamwork?
**[03:17] ---**
    Take these two bells away from me,
    and practice will be over.
**[03:21] ---**
    Simple, right?
**[03:23] ---**
    Two bells mean…
**[03:26] ---**
    Exactly.
**[03:28] ---**
    Huh? What does it mean?
**[03:35] ---**
    One of us will be dropped
    from the team.
**[03:38] ---**
    What?!
**[03:39] ---**
    Good observation.
**[03:41] ---**
    Okay… Let's start.
**[03:46] ---**
    I'm your jonin leader, Hatake…
**[03:49] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei, right?
**[03:51] ---**
    Never mind the formalities…
**[03:53] ---**
    Let's just get started!
**[03:56] ---**
    What you're going to do…
**[03:58] ---**
    has a failure rate of 66%.
**[04:00] ---**
    *During that practice,*
    *I wasn't even thinking of teamwork.*
**[04:06] ---**
    *And Minato Sensei*
    *didn't even notice it.*
**[04:12] ---**
    You all pass!
**[04:18] ---**
    Let's strengthen
    our teamwork even more!
**[04:21] ---**
    – Right!
    – Yes!
**[04:29] ---**
    In other words, one of you will definitely
    be sent back to the Academy.
**[04:35] ---**
    *It's no wonder Minato Sensei*
    *didn't notice.*
**[04:38] ---**
    *I pretended to work with the team*
    *and used the other two.*
**[04:49] ---**
    *I know he's giving us a break…*
**[04:52] ---**
    *But Minato Sensei is way too skilled.*
**[04:55] ---**
    *There's no way I can do it alone.*
**[04:57] ---**
    Close!
**[04:59] ---**
    Whoa…
**[05:01] ---**
    You'll never get it
    at the rate you're going.
**[05:05] ---**
    *I knew it.*
**[05:07] ---**
    *Minato Sensei is making*
    *an allowance for our skill levels!*
**[05:11] ---**
    *Compared to how he is*
    *against Obito and Rin…*
**[05:17] ---**
    *With me,*
    *he doesn't ease up as much.*
**[05:23] ---**
    *At this rate,*
    *I'm definitely not getting a bell.*
**[05:28] ---**
    *In order to complete this mission…*
**[05:31] ---**
    Obito! Rin!
**[05:35] ---**
    The first formation we learned
    at the academy!
**[05:37] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:38] ---**
    I doubt if a simple formation like that
    would work against Minato Sensei.
**[05:44] ---**
    Just do it!
**[05:47] ---**
    I guess it's worth a try.
**[05:49] ---**
    It's better than doing nothing…
**[05:52] ---**
    Okay, I'm in!
**[05:59] ---**
    Here we go!
**[06:00] ---**
    – Yeah!
    – Right!
**[06:05] ---**
    *I see only one opening*
    *with Minato Sensei.*
**[06:09] ---**
    *If I use these two to trap him,*
    *we have a chance!*
**[06:18] ---**
    Okay, let's start
**[06:30] ---**
    *That wasn't teamwork.*
**[06:32] ---**
    *Back then, if only*
    *Minato Sensei had seen*
**[06:35] ---**
    *that something was missing*
    *in our teamwork…*
**[06:46] ---**
    Thanks for letting me get the bell first!
**[06:48] ---**
    Looks like you're going
    to be left behind!
**[06:51] ---**
    *No…*
**[06:52] ---**
    *That wasn't…Minato Sensei's fault!*
**[07:01] ---**
    *I'm just trying to pass the buck,*
    *and running away from the truth…*
**[07:06] ---**
    *That's why…*
**[07:10] ---**
    *with these guys…*
**[07:13] ---**
    *I'm going to make sure*
    *their teamwork is solid.*
**[07:19] ---**
    You're so clumsy…
**[07:21] ---**
    You're a disgrace.
**[07:23] ---**
    Huh?! Speak for yourself!
**[07:26] ---**
    Damn it… Of all the luck…
**[07:30] ---**
    To be lumped together
    with guys like you.
**[07:33] ---**
    Say that again!
**[07:36] ---**
    This is hilarious.
**[07:37] ---**
    You guys are so ridiculous!
**[07:42] ---**
    Say, I just had a great idea.
**[07:45] ---**
    What a coincidence. Me too.
**[07:50] ---**
    Me too!
**[07:51] ---**
    We don't want to give Sensei
    a hard time…
**[07:54] ---**
    I agree! So I…
**[07:58] ---**
    – will…
    – decide…
**[08:00] ---**
    - …who drops out!
    - …who drops out!
**[08:03] ---**
    You guys.
**[08:21] ---**
    Huh?
**[08:22] ---**
    You all fail!
**[08:28] ---**
    You're going back to the academy.
**[08:34] ---**
    *That frozen gaze…*
**[08:40] ---**
    *It's darkness itself…*
    *His darkness hasn't been dispelled yet.*
**[08:47] ---**
    *More time is necessary…*
**[09:12] ---**
    Rin… Obito…
**[09:16] ---**
    I know.
**[09:17] ---**
    I have no intention of making people
    who don't work as a team into shinobi…
**[09:25] ---**
    No matter what anyone says…
**[09:34] ---**
    Now then…
**[09:35] ---**
    How will this year turn out…?
**[09:49] ---**
    Keep it up and you'll end up back
    at the academy!
**[09:54] ---**
    I'm in the spring of youth
    at full power!
**[09:58] ---**
    No wonder he's a jonin.
**[09:59] ---**
    He dodges my taijutsu
    with such ease.
**[10:02] ---**
    I thought graduating from
    the academy made us genin.
**[10:06] ---**
    Failing now is too embarrassing!
**[10:12] ---**
    Severe…Leaf Hurricane!
**[10:22] ---**
    Giving up already?
**[10:24] ---**
    I'm not giving up!
**[10:26] ---**
    My dream is to become a great shinobi
    through taijutsu alone!
**[10:29] ---**
    I cannot…abandon my dream!
**[10:34] ---**
    That's ridiculous…
**[10:36] ---**
    But…
**[10:37] ---**
    I'm not throwing in the towel either!
**[10:40] ---**
    That's right!
**[10:42] ---**
    I'm that close to becoming
    the kunoichi I've always admired!
**[10:46] ---**
    No way am I calling it quits!
**[10:51] ---**
    Now you're talking, guys!
**[10:53] ---**
    That's how youth should be!
**[10:57] ---**
    Even if you've used up
    every ounce of your energy…
**[11:00] ---**
    suck it up and push through it!
**[11:03] ---**
    Hit me with all your might!
**[11:14] ---**
    – Here we come!
    – Here we come!
**[11:22] ---**
    The three of you…
**[11:25] ---**
    …all pass!
**[11:28] ---**
    Yes! I did it!
**[11:30] ---**
    I did it!
**[11:34] ---**
    I-I can't breathe…!
**[11:44] ---**
    I'm so happy we all made it!
**[11:47] ---**
    I wasn't about to fail
    after coming this far.
**[11:50] ---**
    But…
**[11:52] ---**
    Thank goodness we didn't get
    the sensei everyone talks about.
**[11:56] ---**
    You mean that jonin who sent the three
    before us back to the academy?
**[12:01] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[12:03] ---**
    Luck has nothing to do
    with real strength.
**[12:06] ---**
    Those guys just weren't
    good enough.
**[12:09] ---**
    That's not what I heard.
**[12:11] ---**
    It was about what's even more important
    than a shinobi's strength or something…
**[12:17] ---**
    And what is that?
**[12:19] ---**
    Is it some kind of
    super-lethal-one-hit technique?
**[12:23] ---**
    But who does he think he is
    to make up his own criteria?
**[12:31] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[12:35] ---**
    Are you sure about this,
    big brother?
**[12:38] ---**
    Maybe we shouldn't eat
    the bento lunches…
**[12:41] ---**
    Look, have I ever been wrong?
**[12:56] ---**
    But Kakashi Sensei's not here.
**[12:59] ---**
    Quit nitpicking!
**[13:00] ---**
    You two, just listen and follow the rules!
**[13:08] ---**
    *Sure, in the world of Ninja,*
**[13:10] ---**
    *one who breaks the rules and regulations*
    *is regarded as scum…*
**[13:31] ---**
    *But those who abandon their comrades…*
    *are worse than scum!*
**[13:39] ---**
    *Obito… I…*
**[13:45] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei…!
**[13:47] ---**
    I've failed, but my kid brothers
    followed the rules!
**[13:52] ---**
    The three of you…
**[13:55] ---**
    Each of you obeyed my orders.
**[13:59] ---**
    You stuck to the rules.
**[14:01] ---**
    But you didn't follow what
    is most important to a shinobi…
**[14:06] ---**
    What is that?!
**[14:07] ---**
    You grey-haired…!
**[14:12] ---**
    You're all going back to
    the academy to figure it out.
**[14:22] ---**
    Passed on the Chunin Exams?
**[14:25] ---**
    That's unusually cautious of you, Guy.
**[14:29] ---**
    Yeah…
**[14:33] ---**
    Huh? The Chunin Exams?
**[14:36] ---**
    Yes.
**[14:37] ---**
    The way the system works is,
    if you complete over eight missions…
**[14:40] ---**
    you qualify to participate
    in the Chunin Exams.
**[14:43] ---**
    There haven't been rookies
    in the Chunin Exams lately…
**[14:48] ---**
    Would you like to go for it?
**[14:50] ---**
    Uh…!
**[14:53] ---**
    Huh? What's wrong, Lee?
**[14:56] ---**
    Well… I'd like to test myself
    to see how strong I am…
**[15:03] ---**
    I do have that desire…
**[15:05] ---**
    But…
**[15:06] ---**
    But what?
**[15:08] ---**
    I don't deserve to take the test
    at my present level.
**[15:11] ---**
    I know my own ability best!
**[15:15] ---**
    What about you, Neji?
**[15:19] ---**
    I'll pass on it too.
**[15:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[15:21] ---**
    Neji, you'd make it to chunin
    in no time!
**[15:25] ---**
    That's why there's no point
    in rushing.
**[15:28] ---**
    I see. And you, Tenten?
**[15:31] ---**
    Then I'll pass too!
**[15:33] ---**
    Let's train hard and take
    the next exams together!
**[15:37] ---**
    You guys!
**[15:39] ---**
    You guys…
**[15:43] ---**
    Having students like you
    makes me very happy!
**[15:50] ---**
    Dumplings! Another order
    of dumplings, please!
**[15:53] ---**
    Coming right up!
**[15:55] ---**
    I don't get it…
    But this is so like you.
**[15:59] ---**
    By the way, what's it like to be
    in charge of fresh academy graduates?
**[16:04] ---**
    That's right. This is your first time.
**[16:09] ---**
    Hmm?
**[16:10] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[16:11] ---**
    Come join us for some
    sweet dumplings!
**[16:21] ---**
    What's with him?
**[16:23] ---**
    His eyes are as cold as ever…
    like he never left the ANBU.
**[16:27] ---**
    He failed every one of them again.
**[16:30] ---**
    That's not such a big deal.
**[16:33] ---**
    No, but the darkness in
    Kakashi's heart is a problem.
**[16:39] ---**
    He's still carrying that around…
**[16:43] ---**
    They were my classmates too.
    And I grieved as well, but…
**[16:47] ---**
    You've got to get over it…
**[16:50] ---**
    I know…
**[16:53] ---**
    I knew that the depressing atmosphere of
    the ANBU would turn him more sullen.
**[16:59] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[17:00] ---**
    The ANBU isn't for someone
    like Kakashi!
**[17:03] ---**
    I know it isn't my place
    to say this, Lord Third!
**[17:07] ---**
    But…
**[17:08] ---**
    We've lost too many of our friends…!
**[17:13] ---**
    Watching Kakashi…
    It's as though he's in a hurry to die…
**[17:18] ---**
    That's why…we came up with this idea
    to put him in charge of the genin…
**[17:23] ---**
    If he has subordinates to look after,
    we're sure he'll change…
**[17:28] ---**
    Hmm… You think so too?
**[17:32] ---**
    So then…?!
**[17:35] ---**
    Maybe we shouldn't have interfered…
**[17:39] ---**
    We each thought that rather
    than being in the ANBU,
**[17:42] ---**
    being in charge of young future shinobi
    held more promise for him, but…
**[17:49] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[17:50] ---**
    Lord Third?
**[17:52] ---**
    Lord Third?!
**[17:55] ---**
    At ease, finish your tea.
**[17:58] ---**
    In fact, I'll have a cup too.
**[18:07] ---**
    I see…
**[18:11] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[18:13] ---**
    You always treat us like we're kids…
**[18:16] ---**
    Asuma!
**[18:17] ---**
    Oh… Forgive me for laughing.
**[18:20] ---**
    I must admit that I do treat you
    like children.
**[18:33] ---**
    *Minato Sensei…*
**[18:35] ---**
    *Is my way wrong…?*
**[18:41] ---**
    – Kakashi Sensei!
    – Kakashi Sensei!
**[18:43] ---**
    Y-Yes?
**[18:44] ---**
    – Good morning, sir!
    – Good morning, sir!
**[18:50] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[18:51] ---**
    We're in charge of
    academy discipline now!
**[18:56] ---**
    We realized everything starts
    with a proper greeting!
**[18:59] ---**
    That greeting was spot on!
**[19:02] ---**
    Keep it up!
**[19:04] ---**
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
**[19:06] ---**
    Please excuse us!
**[19:08] ---**
    – Excuse us!
    – Excuse us!
**[19:09] ---**
    – Excuse us!
    – Excuse us!
**[19:13] ---**
    *Who cares about greetings?*
    *Let's get started.*
**[19:18] ---**
    Those guys, huh…
**[19:21] ---**
    It's Kakashi Sensei!
**[19:24] ---**
    It's you!
**[19:30] ---**
    – Thank you very much!
    – Thank you very much!
**[19:32] ---**
    W-What?!
**[19:34] ---**
    Thank you for failing us in that practice…
**[19:38] ---**
    we were able to change!
**[19:41] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:42] ---**
    We always depended
    on our big brother…
**[19:45] ---**
    and never stood up for ourselves…
**[19:48] ---**
    Actually, that time, we wanted to
    share our lunch with him!
**[19:53] ---**
    After the practice, we realized
    that we should've spoken up
**[19:56] ---**
    and told you how we felt. Right?
**[19:59] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:00] ---**
    I thought I was helping them,
    but I was stifling them instead.
**[20:06] ---**
    I learned a lesson too.
**[20:09] ---**
    – And so…!
    – And so…!
**[20:11] ---**
    – We're so grateful to you, Kakashi Sensei!
    – We're so grateful to you, Kakashi Sensei!
**[20:16] ---**
    Grateful…to me…?
**[20:20] ---**
    A teacher trains his students…
**[20:23] ---**
    and at the same time,
    learns from them.
**[20:26] ---**
    Only through mutual respect
    and growth…
**[20:29] ---**
    can you foster
    a true teacher-pupil relationship.
**[20:34] ---**
    It is my hope that you will nurture
    such a relationship with your pupils.
**[20:40] ---**
    Of course, I wish it for Kakashi as well.
**[20:44] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[20:46] ---**
    Is that…
**[20:48] ---**
    Oh…it's still very secret.
**[20:52] ---**
    But this is the list of
    academy graduates
**[20:54] ---**
    who will be under Kakashi's tutelage.
**[20:57] ---**
    NINJA DATA
    
    I'm sure it's a group of
    highly individualistic kids.
**[22:38] ---**
    I'm sure this new batch of genin
    will hold your interest.
    
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Where are we?
    
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    This is Naruto's house.
    
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Lord Fourth's orphan…
    
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Are you our sensei?
    
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I'm Naruto Uzumaki,
    I'm going to be Hokage!
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Squad Seven"
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    That kid is a genin?
**[23:02] ---**
    SQUAD SEVEN
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Squad Seven*
    
    
    
    
**[01:36] ---**
    Regarding the next group of genin
    that you'll be in charge of…
**[01:40] ---**
    Me? Again?
**[01:42] ---**
    Now don't look so upset.
**[01:45] ---**
    Guy has already formed his squad
**[01:46] ---**
    and has gone out on missions
    with them.
**[01:49] ---**
    Aren't you eager to set out with
    your own apprentices?
**[01:54] ---**
    Well…
**[01:55] ---**
    I'm sure this new batch of genin
    will hold your interest.
**[02:05] ---**
    Where are we?
**[02:07] ---**
    This is Naruto Uzumaki's house.
**[02:10] ---**
    Lord Fourth's orphan.
**[02:13] ---**
    So that child is a genin.
**[02:17] ---**
    Are you a little interested now?
**[02:22] ---**
    So this is where Naruto lives.
**[02:25] ---**
    Yes.
**[02:32] ---**
    *This milk is way past*
    *its expiration date.*
**[02:41] ---**
    *Minato Sensei was so meticulous.*
    *I can't believe this is his son.*
**[02:45] ---**
    He's a bit of a fool,
**[02:47] ---**
    but it would be best if
    you looked after him.
**[02:50] ---**
    You have good instincts.
**[02:53] ---**
    That Uchiha boy, Sasuke, is
    also on your squad.
**[03:00] ---**
    I wish you the best of luck.
**[03:03] ---**
    Understood.
**[03:05] ---**
    *What have I gotten myself into?*
**[03:11] ---**
    Next up is a kunoichi—
**[03:21] ---**
    Welcome, Lord Third!
    And Kakashi Sensei as well!
**[03:24] ---**
    Our Sakura, will be under
    your supervision!
**[03:26] ---**
    Come in and
    have some tea!
**[03:28] ---**
    I'll hurry and get it rea-tea!
**[03:33] ---**
    I couldn't resist saying that!
**[03:34] ---**
    Oh, stop! You're so silly!
**[03:41] ---**
    I'm here unofficially.
**[03:44] ---**
    So if I accept an invitation for tea
    at a student's home,
**[03:47] ---**
    other parents might frown upon it.
**[03:51] ---**
    Oh, please don't be so formal.
**[03:54] ---**
    Yes! Thanks to you,
**[03:55] ---**
    we live in peace and have nothing
    to worry about, Lord Hokage!
**[03:58] ---**
    No one would dare complain.
**[04:01] ---**
    Please, you too, Kakashi Sensei!
**[04:03] ---**
    After all, you're going to be
    our daughter's sensei.
**[04:07] ---**
    So please come in!
**[04:09] ---**
    *This is really not looking good...*
**[04:16] ---**
    The last up one is…
    Sasuke Uchiha's house.
**[04:25] ---**
    At one time, the Uchiha lived in
    a special autonomous district.
**[04:30] ---**
    Now, only Sasuke remains…
**[04:36] ---**
    Sasuke's father Fugaku Uchiha
    was very strict.
**[04:41] ---**
    Seems the boy is very disciplined.
**[04:47] ---**
    His older brother Itachi was
    very meticulous as well.
**[04:51] ---**
    Yes, I remember.
**[04:53] ---**
    I assigned him under you.
**[04:56] ---**
    Look after the younger one as well
**[04:58] ---**
    I'm asking in place of
    their father, Fugaku.
**[05:03] ---**
    I didn't have to teach Itachi a thing.
**[05:07] ---**
    His Sharingan was far
    more effective than mine.
**[05:14] ---**
    Regardless, you are the only Leaf Shinobi
    who possesses a Sharingan now.
**[05:19] ---**
    We don't know yet if Sasuke
    will be able to activate his…
**[05:23] ---**
    but if he does,
    you must be there for him.
**[05:27] ---**
    Yes…
**[05:34] ---**
    *Obito, you—!*
**[05:45] ---**
    *This is where…*
**[05:47] ---**
    *I'll protect my friends!*
**[05:51] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[05:59] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[06:18] ---**
    *Rin…*
**[06:22] ---**
    The shadow of tragedy
    trails this eye.
**[06:27] ---**
    It might be best not to activate
    the Sharingan at all.
**[06:32] ---**
    But…
**[06:35] ---**
    But for better or for worse,
**[06:38] ---**
    this eye holds a key into how
    I feel about my comrades.
**[06:43] ---**
    If one thinks that there is a downside
**[06:44] ---**
    to having these kinds of feelings...
    that it attracts tragedy…
**[06:47] ---**
    then I must see to it that
    they treasure their comrades,
**[06:50] ---**
    in order to prevent that
    from happening.
**[06:56] ---**
    It seems your judging criteria
    remains unchanged this year.
**[07:04] ---**
    *Still…*
**[07:05] ---**
    *This room is quite a contrast*
    *from Naruto's.*
**[07:12] ---**
    Why?
**[07:13] ---**
    Why what?
**[07:15] ---**
    Why did you put me in charge
    of those three?
**[07:22] ---**
    Well, there's a hopeless fool,
    a skilled protégé and a clever kunoichi…
**[07:29] ---**
    I'd say it's much like
    Minato's old team.
**[07:32] ---**
    S-So you chose me on purpose?!
**[07:35] ---**
    Listen Kakashi, I am the Hokage.
**[07:38] ---**
    I would never base
    my personnel decisions
**[07:40] ---**
    on personal preference!
**[07:42] ---**
    It's all about the right man
    for the right job…
**[07:43] ---**
    I carefully consider each of
    these assignments…
**[07:47] ---**
    Separately from what the teachers
    at the Academy believe.
**[07:52] ---**
    Sasuke and Naruto will be
    on the same squad?
**[07:55] ---**
    That's brilliant!
**[07:56] ---**
    Sasuke graduated at the top of
    his class out of 27 students…
**[08:00] ---**
    Whereas Naruto was last in class.
**[08:02] ---**
    It seems you did that to keep
    the squad balanced!
**[08:09] ---**
    These are times when
    a squad's composition greatly affects
**[08:12] ---**
    shinobi and their actions,
    and subsequently, their success rate.
**[08:17] ---**
    It is the duty of those who govern
**[08:19] ---**
    to maintain special teams that
    possess a variety of skills.
**[08:24] ---**
    For example, Guy's team that
    was formed last year.
**[08:29] ---**
    It certainly doesn't
    have the kind of balance
**[08:31] ---**
    the instructors at
    the Academy recommend.
**[08:33] ---**
    It's a squad that specializes largely
    in taijutsu.
**[08:37] ---**
    You're right.
**[08:38] ---**
    This year, they have really
    come into their own.
**[08:43] ---**
    I also intend to organize
**[08:45] ---**
    specialty military squads
    that utilize Secret Ninjutsu.
**[08:50] ---**
    From that perspective,
**[08:51] ---**
    Naruto is the Jinchuriki
    of the Nine Tails…
**[08:54] ---**
    and Sasuke has the potential
    to activate the Sharingan…
**[08:59] ---**
    As I mentioned earlier,
**[09:00] ---**
    you are the only one who can
    advise Sasuke with his Sharingan.
**[09:07] ---**
    *Looking ahead, it is imperative*
**[09:09] ---**
     *that Sasuke awaken his Sharingan*
    *that can control the Nine Tails…*
**[09:15] ---**
    *That night's tragedy*
    *must never happen again.*
**[09:19] ---**
    I understand that those two are special.
**[09:21] ---**
    But what about the girl Sakura?
**[09:25] ---**
    Well, I believe she has
    the potential to be a good kunoichi.
**[09:29] ---**
    Right now, she's average. However…
**[09:46] ---**
    Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[09:50] ---**
    *He's already picked up*
    *one of my jutsu!*
**[09:57] ---**
    Good one, Orochimaru!
**[10:04] ---**
    I can do that too!
**[10:06] ---**
    What? You too, Jiraiya?
**[10:14] ---**
    Shu…Shuriken…
**[10:17] ---**
    Whatever Jutsu…!
**[10:24] ---**
    Talent attracts people…
**[10:26] ---**
    Men notice women…
**[10:28] ---**
    And rivalry matures both…
**[10:31] ---**
    So they say.
**[10:34] ---**
    Go get 'em!
**[10:35] ---**
    Do it!
**[10:41] ---**
    So you've even considered how
    the squad will develop?
**[10:45] ---**
    That's right.
**[10:49] ---**
    *Without a doubt…*
**[10:51] ---**
    *Obito was desperate for Rin*
    *to acknowledge him.*
**[10:55] ---**
    *But…*
**[10:59] ---**
    I understand your logic
    behind this Lord Third.
**[11:01] ---**
    But…I failed twice with squads
    that you organized.
**[11:08] ---**
    I don't think I'm cut out
    to be a jonin leader.
**[11:12] ---**
    Did you fail them because of
    your own personal feelings?
**[11:16] ---**
    No…
**[11:18] ---**
    It was unfortunate for them.
**[11:21] ---**
    But this is the strict world of shinobi.
**[11:23] ---**
    It's better that they learn this
    when they're young.
**[11:27] ---**
    Ultimately, this will prove to be
    a valuable lesson for them.
**[11:31] ---**
    But it wasn't planned.
    It just happened to work out.
**[11:35] ---**
    Perhaps.
**[11:37] ---**
    But I had faith that
    it would work out.
**[11:41] ---**
    I trusted you.
**[11:44] ---**
    Lord Hiruzen…
**[11:45] ---**
    It was the same with Minato too.
**[11:48] ---**
    Minato Sensei?
**[11:54] ---**
    Judging from only
    the practice reports,
**[11:56] ---**
    it would seem that
    Kakashi acted arbitrarily.
**[12:00] ---**
    Kakashi is leagues ahead
    of the other graduates
**[12:02] ---**
    in terms of skill and intelligence.
**[12:05] ---**
    It's exciting just thinking about
    this genin's development.
**[12:09] ---**
    Perhaps due to the incident
    with Sakumo, he's very headstrong.
**[12:14] ---**
    But I have faith that he'll realize
    the importance of teamwork.
**[12:19] ---**
    Faith, huh?
**[12:21] ---**
    Yes, you're right.
**[12:24] ---**
    I shall have faith in your faith.
**[12:30] ---**
    *Minato Sensei knew all along*
**[12:33] ---**
    *about my selfish and*
    *shallow strategy.*
**[12:36] ---**
    *But he had faith that one day,*
    *I would realize it...*
**[12:44] ---**
    To believe in one's student
    and to watch over them…
**[12:47] ---**
    is also part of being a teacher.
**[13:01] ---**
    *Father... I spent my life denying you…*
**[13:08] ---**
    I believe that the White Fang
    was a true hero.
**[13:14] ---**
    Sure, in the world of Ninja,
**[13:16] ---**
    one who breaks the rules and
    regulations is regarded as trash.
**[13:21] ---**
    But…those who abandon their comrades
    are worse than trash!
**[13:42] ---**
    But…
**[13:44] ---**
    I can't repeat that tragedy again
    with a new generation.
**[14:02] ---**
    Are you going to be our Sensei?
**[14:04] ---**
    I'm Naruto Uzumaki!
**[14:06] ---**
    And I'm going to be the Hokage!
**[14:09] ---**
    Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi,
    Ino Yamanaka!
**[14:13] ---**
    - Yes, sir!
    - Yes, sir!
**[14:15] ---**
    I'm the jonin leader of
    your squad, Asuma Sarutobi.
**[14:19] ---**
    We're going to have a meeting now.
**[14:21] ---**
    Follow me.
**[14:24] ---**
    See ya!
**[14:25] ---**
    So long!
**[14:26] ---**
    See you again, Sasuke!
**[14:29] ---**
    Get lost, Ino Pig!
**[14:32] ---**
    What? He's their sensei?
**[14:36] ---**
    Well, the next one will be ours!
**[14:39] ---**
    Nope, it'll be our sensei next!
**[14:43] ---**
    Right, Akamaru?
**[14:50] ---**
    Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame,
    Hinata Hyuga…
**[14:55] ---**
    I'm Yuhi Kurenai and
    I'll be your leader.
**[14:59] ---**
    Nice to meet you all.
**[15:03] ---**
    The loser squad gets
    a loser sensei too!
**[15:12] ---**
    - He's late!
    - He's late!
**[15:19] ---**
    Have you been waiting for me, Tenzo?
**[15:26] ---**
    Stop calling me "Tenzo," Senpai.
**[15:29] ---**
    Then drop the "senpai."
**[15:33] ---**
    You'll always be my senpai.
**[15:35] ---**
    That will never change,
    even if you're no longer ANBU.
**[15:39] ---**
    So what do you want?
**[15:40] ---**
    I've heard the rumors
**[15:42] ---**
    that it's been very difficult
    trying find my replacement.
**[15:45] ---**
    Or did you come all this way
    to laugh at me, the genin babysitter?
**[15:50] ---**
    Not at all!
**[15:51] ---**
    But that was such a long time ago.
**[15:53] ---**
    You haven't changed a bit, Senpai.
**[15:57] ---**
    Sorry, but I'm busy today.
**[15:59] ---**
    I can't stand around and chat.
**[16:04] ---**
    It's way past the time you were
    supposed to meet your genin.
**[16:10] ---**
    Well, see you later.
**[16:16] ---**
    "See you later," huh?
    Maybe he did change a little.
**[16:21] ---**
    For someone who was fixated
    on the past and present...
**[16:24] ---**
    to hear him say,
    "see you later..."
**[16:40] ---**
    *A silly prank…*
**[16:42] ---**
    *Still, if this prank was*
    *the result of teamwork…*
**[16:47] ---**
    He fell for it!
**[16:49] ---**
    *So Naruto's the perp.*
**[16:52] ---**
    I'm so sorry, Sensei.
    I tried to stop him, but Naruto…
**[16:56] ---**
    *Sakura makes excuses and*
    *tries to protect herself…*
**[17:01] ---**
    *Sasuke minds his own business…*
**[17:03] ---**
    *He probably doesn't consider them*
    *as comrades.*
**[17:06] ---**
    *There's not even a shred of teamwork…*
**[17:09] ---**
    There are two bells here.
**[17:12] ---**
    Your task is to take these bells away
    from me by noon.
**[17:15] ---**
    The one who fails to take
    a bell gets no lunch.
**[17:21] ---**
    *This exercise is to try*
    *to split the team.*
**[17:24] ---**
    *I hope you figure it out.*
**[17:26] ---**
    And failing the exercise means
    failing the mission.
**[17:31] ---**
    In order words, at the very least,
**[17:32] ---**
    one of you will be returning
    to the Academy.
**[17:39] ---**
    Let's get started.
**[17:41] ---**
    Ready… Start!
**[17:44] ---**
    *Considering the prank*
    *in the classroom…*
**[17:46] ---**
    *I doubt if they'll work*
    *as a team to attack me.*
**[17:58] ---**
    *I knew it.*
**[18:04] ---**
    Well, guys!
**[18:06] ---**
    I'm going to give you
    one more chance.
**[18:09] ---**
    However, the afternoon scramble
    for the bells will be much more difficult.
**[18:13] ---**
    If you accept the challenge,
    eat your lunch.
**[18:15] ---**
    However, don't let Naruto eat.
**[18:19] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:20] ---**
    That's your punishment
    for breaking the rule
**[18:21] ---**
    and attempting to eat lunch alone.
**[18:23] ---**
    If you give Naruto any food,
**[18:25] ---**
    you will be
    immediately disqualified.
**[18:30] ---**
    I am the law here.
**[18:33] ---**
    Understand?
**[18:44] ---**
    *Minato Sensei had faith in me…*
**[18:47] ---**
    *So should I have faith in them too?*
**[18:51] ---**
    *But what if I'm wrong*
    *to begin with?*
**[18:55] ---**
    *Don't you have any kindness*
    *in your heart?*
**[18:59] ---**
    *All you ever think about are*
    *rules, rules, rules! It's annoying!*
**[19:02] ---**
    *That's right.*
**[19:05] ---**
    *I'm still trying to stick to my rules…*
**[19:09] ---**
    *Come on, let's go, Captain.*
**[19:16] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[19:18] ---**
    *For the sake of the team,*
    *you walked over to me that day…*
**[19:23] ---**
    *If only I had accepted*
    *the friendship you extended…*
**[19:30] ---**
    *If I had embraced*
    *that little sign you gave me…*
**[19:33] ---**
    Here.
**[19:50] ---**
    *Obito, did you see that?*
**[19:53] ---**
    *I'll never forget you or Rin.*
**[20:01] ---**
    *Kakashi.*
**[20:03] ---**
    *Kakashi.*
**[20:05] ---**
    *Kakashi.*
**[20:19] ---**
    You!
**[20:23] ---**
    Pass.
**[20:25] ---**
    *But I think I'm going to move forward*
    *with some new comrades.*
**[20:31] ---**
    *Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura…*
**[20:34] ---**
    *I'm going to believe in you.*
**[20:37] ---**
    *And Obito, Rin…*
    *I'll make a promise.*
**[20:41] ---**
    *I'll believe in my comrades*
    *and I'll never let them die!*
**[20:46] ---**
    That ends the survival exercise.
    You all pass.
**[20:49] ---**
    Squad Seven will start
    its mission tomorrow!
**[20:54] ---**
    Huh?! Hey, untie me!
**[22:38] ---**
    I couldn't keep my promise
    to you.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I'm trash. But you're a hero
    of the Leaf.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    You don't have
    to become trash too!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Obito, your once strong will
    is still alive today, right next to me!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    What the current me can do is...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Kakashi's Resolve."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    ...protect the current Naruto!
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    KAKASHI'S RESOLVE
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:07] ---**
    Dead men shouldn't go around
    messing things up!
**[00:25] ---**
    Uchiha Reflection.
**[00:51] ---**
    I'll get the Eight and Nine Tails.
**[00:53] ---**
    Obito, you take down those two.
**[00:56] ---**
    - What?!
    - You're not getting away!
**[01:05] ---**
    Obito...
**[01:06] ---**
    What happened to you?
**[01:08] ---**
    Why would you join up with him?
**[01:19] ---**
    *Summoning Jutsu!*
**[01:53] ---**
    *You're late, Obito!*
**[01:55] ---**
    *You're finally here...*
**[01:56] ---**
    *You must be Obito.*
**[01:58] ---**
    *We've been waiting for you.*
**[02:00] ---**
    *Barely made it...*
**[02:01] ---**
    *You're really late.*
**[02:03] ---**
    *We've already introduced ourselves.*
**[02:06] ---**
    *You're the only one left!*
**[02:09] ---**
    *I'm going to be the Hokage!*
**[02:11] ---**
    *My name's Obito Uchiha!*
**[02:13] ---**
    *For my Great Stone Face,*
**[02:15] ---**
    *make sure my trademark goggles*
    *and Sharingan are nicely carved out!*
**[02:21] ---**
    *So I can glare over*
    *the neighboring lands!*
**[02:25] ---**
    *I'll scare the hell out of them*
    *with my Sharingan stare...*
**[02:29] ---**
    *and no one will dare*
    *attack our village!*
**[02:32] ---**
    *Rattle off your instructions*
    *after you become the Hokage*
**[02:34] ---**
    *and activate your Sharingan.*
**[02:36] ---**
    *Besides, how can they carve*
    *the Sharingan*
**[02:37] ---**
    *if you're wearing goggles?*
**[02:39] ---**
    *They can carve it out*
    *over my goggles!*
**[02:42] ---**
    *Then it will look like your eyeballs*
    *are popping out.*
**[02:48] ---**
    *Anyway...I'm happy that*
    *someone on this team*
**[02:50] ---**
    *shares my dream.*
**[02:53] ---**
    *I'm Minato. From today,*
    *I'll be your superior.*
**[02:55] ---**
    *I'm glad to meet you!*
**[02:56] ---**
    *Yeah!*
**[03:00] ---**
    *Minato Sensei...*
**[03:03] ---**
    *All of this...*
**[03:08] ---**
    *This world...*
**[03:14] ---**
    - *None of it matters anymore!*
    - *None of it matters anymore!*
**[03:42] ---**
    I'm not gonna let
    that happen, idiot!
**[03:45] ---**
    I'm the son of
    the Fourth Hokage, you know!
**[03:48] ---**
    I'm not gonna fall for your talk!
**[03:52] ---**
    I see.
**[03:53] ---**
    I was going easy on you
**[03:55] ---**
    because you were
    the actual Jinchuriki, not a clone.
**[03:57] ---**
    but if that's how you feel,
    I won't hold back on you!
**[04:00] ---**
    This is Hashirama's wooden dragon,
**[04:02] ---**
    which he used to hold down
    my Nine Tails long ago.
**[04:09] ---**
    Madara really is crazy powerful.
**[04:13] ---**
    That's what makes him
    worth fighting.
**[04:18] ---**
    Your tough guy act is crazy solid.
**[04:21] ---**
    I'm not going to hold back
    against a zombie either!
**[04:24] ---**
    Since you're already dead!
**[04:49] ---**
    Why?!
**[04:50] ---**
    Why ally yourself with someone
    like Madara?
**[04:56] ---**
    I've got nothing to say to you.
**[04:59] ---**
    All that's left...
**[05:02] ---**
    is this final battle!
**[06:37] ---**
    *Kakashi's Resolve*
    
    
    
**[06:45] ---**
    Earth Style...
**[06:46] ---**
    Mud Wall!
**[07:01] ---**
    Why?
**[07:02] ---**
    How about shutting up already?
**[07:04] ---**
    You're only talk.
    You're nothing but a piece of trash.
**[07:35] ---**
    *I believe that the White Fang*
    *was a true hero.*
**[07:40] ---**
    *Sure, in the world of Ninja,*
**[07:43] ---**
    *one who breaks*
    *the rules and regulations*
**[07:45] ---**
    *is regarded as trash.*
**[07:47] ---**
    *But those who abandon*
    *their comrades...*
**[07:52] ---**
    *are worse than trash!*
**[07:54] ---**
    *This is probably...*
**[07:57] ---**
    *because you let Rin die.*
**[08:13] ---**
    *I am trash for sure...*
**[08:17] ---**
    *But Obito, you've always...*
**[08:21] ---**
    Kamui...
**[08:23] ---**
    *...been my hero.*
**[08:27] ---**
    *So why?*
**[08:30] ---**
    Damn it!
**[08:47] ---**
    That damned wooden thing!
**[08:48] ---**
    It's absorbing
    the Nine Tails' chakra!
**[08:57] ---**
    Damn it...
**[09:08] ---**
    We have the same eyes...
**[09:09] ---**
    So you made it out, huh?
**[09:11] ---**
    Obito, how did you end up like this?
**[09:18] ---**
    Does it have to do with Rin?
**[09:34] ---**
    *I'll protect my comrades!*
**[09:39] ---**
    *Let's go rescue Rin right now!*
**[09:43] ---**
    *Yeah!*
**[10:04] ---**
    I said, trash should keep
    their mouths shut!
**[10:08] ---**
    Die.
**[10:10] ---**
    I...couldn't keep
    my promise to you.
**[10:14] ---**
    You're right. I'm trash.
**[10:20] ---**
    But you...
**[10:21] ---**
    You're a hero of the Leaf.
**[10:24] ---**
    There's no reason for you
    to become trash too.
**[10:41] ---**
    This is reality.
**[10:43] ---**
    Those who bequeath
    and the bequeathed...both.
**[10:47] ---**
    All shinobi who survive
    in this world become trash.
**[10:51] ---**
    You and I are prime examples,
**[10:54] ---**
    Kakashi.
**[10:57] ---**
    *Kakashi Sensei...*
**[11:00] ---**
    I can't move...
**[11:11] ---**
    These guys are a distraction
    for you too, right?
**[11:14] ---**
    This world is about
    to come to an end.
**[11:17] ---**
    So in order to enjoy
    the little time we've got left...
**[11:19] ---**
    Let's clear out this battlefield first.
**[11:27] ---**
    No one can escape the cycle
    that gives birth to trash in this world.
**[11:32] ---**
    That's why I intend
    to remake the world!
**[11:41] ---**
    You guys make me so mad,
    I can't even think straight.
**[11:46] ---**
    So instead, let me tell you
    something about myself.
**[12:02] ---**
    I'm not trash!
**[12:05] ---**
    I'm not planning on
    becoming trash either!
**[12:08] ---**
    I will...
**[12:10] ---**
    stop you!
**[12:16] ---**
    - I'll never let my comrades die!
    - I'll never let my comrades die!
**[12:32] ---**
    *I'll never let my comrades die!*
**[12:37] ---**
    *I'm sorry, Naruto.*
**[12:39] ---**
    *I'm the one who taught you*
    *Obito's words, and yet...*
**[12:42] ---**
    *I was about to waver again.*
**[13:02] ---**
    Hirudora!
**[13:03] ---**
    Lightning Blade!
**[13:10] ---**
    Guess it wasn't just a bluff.
**[13:18] ---**
    Obito...
**[13:20] ---**
    Your once strong will
    is still alive today...
**[13:22] ---**
    Right next to me!
**[13:24] ---**
    What the current me can do
    is protect the current Naruto!
**[13:49] ---**
    You'll protect the current Naruto?
**[13:57] ---**
    Same here...
**[14:00] ---**
    *They're both at their limits!*
**[14:02] ---**
    *These Hidden Leaf guys*
    *sure love to act tough!*
**[14:14] ---**
    The wood's constriction
    is weakening.
**[14:22] ---**
    Octopops!
**[14:24] ---**
    Ow oww!
**[14:26] ---**
    Be careful, Naruto!
**[14:28] ---**
    The enemy's Wood Paralysis is identical
    to the First Hokage's!
**[14:31] ---**
    It has the power to
    bind Tailed Beast Power!
**[14:34] ---**
    Like Captain Yamato's technique...
**[14:45] ---**
    A Lightning Blade that relies
    on the Sharingan...
**[14:47] ---**
    You've mastered your left eye...
**[14:51] ---**
    Even awakening the Mangekyo.
**[14:54] ---**
    But can you make it back
    from the other plane
**[14:58] ---**
    in your current condition?
**[15:11] ---**
    Go back to the trash heap, Kakashi!
**[15:14] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei...
**[15:18] ---**
    is just like...me!
**[15:30] ---**
    Looks like we're gonna have to
    start worrying about Ten Tails.
**[15:33] ---**
    Let them handle Obito.
**[15:38] ---**
    Then we'll make our move!
**[15:45] ---**
    Now I see it clearly...
**[15:57] ---**
    your pained face.
**[16:03] ---**
    Save those lines for
    the one right next to you.
**[16:09] ---**
    *I definitely have to help*
    *Kakashi Sensei somehow.*
**[16:13] ---**
    *He's completely drained from*
    *overusing the Sharingan.*
**[16:16] ---**
    *If he gets sucked in...*
**[16:19] ---**
    Naruto, switch with me...
**[16:23] ---**
    Huh?
**[16:24] ---**
    Let me handle this.
**[16:26] ---**
    But...
**[16:27] ---**
    Don't argue. Just switch!
**[16:33] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi brat,
    give me your hands...
**[16:36] ---**
    You're...
**[16:38] ---**
    Never mind that!
    Just stick out your hands!
**[17:04] ---**
    Kurama! What the heck
    did you just do?
**[17:07] ---**
    Now you don't have any distractions.
**[17:09] ---**
    I'm leaving the rest to you, Naruto.
**[17:13] ---**
    What?!
**[17:17] ---**
    Damn!
**[17:34] ---**
    Now that we know how
    your ability works, I can counter it.
**[17:38] ---**
    Here's another!
**[17:46] ---**
    Oh yeah, that certainly
    is a pained face Obito.
**[17:51] ---**
    What's going on?
**[17:55] ---**
    Kakashi did that. Over there.
**[17:57] ---**
    The difference between
    you and me is...
**[18:00] ---**
    I can give or take chakra
    voluntarily at will.
**[18:03] ---**
    I'll show you how it's done later.
**[18:07] ---**
    When did you pass it to him?
**[18:09] ---**
    When I grabbed his hand
    to throw him.
**[18:15] ---**
    So then...!
**[18:16] ---**
    Yeah, whenever he wants to,
**[18:18] ---**
    he can use Kamui to come out.
**[18:22] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[18:26] ---**
    Thank Nine Tails for me.
**[18:29] ---**
    Sure!
**[18:59] ---**
    Let's blast him to bits
    before he revives!
**[19:02] ---**
    Put in everything you've got!
**[19:03] ---**
    Right!
**[19:09] ---**
    It's ready to go,
    Octopops and Eight-o!
**[19:12] ---**
    Okay!
**[19:13] ---**
    Fire!
**[19:14] ---**
    It's over now!
**[20:19] ---**
    The Statue's chakra...is gone.
**[20:23] ---**
    We did it.
**[20:24] ---**
    We did it, fool! Ya fool!
**[20:27] ---**
    All right then!
**[20:30] ---**
    It's over?
**[20:36] ---**
    Yeah...for this world.
**[20:47] ---**
    Now then...
**[20:50] ---**
    Shall we get started?
**[22:37] ---**
    Here comes a big one,
    you think we can really do this?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    First, we keep our distance
    and see what move he makes.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Then we'll counter the attack
    and hit him
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    with a big blow
    as close as we can get.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Nine Tails, you're acting
    like a captain.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    So? You got a problem with that?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Nope. In fact I feel kinda happy!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu"
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Save that line for after we've won!
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    THE ALLIED SHINOBI FORCES JUTSU
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu*
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    I-Is that...?!
**[01:39] ---**
    That's the...!
**[01:40] ---**
    *There's no mistaking it.*
**[02:00] ---**
    Yeah…
**[02:03] ---**
    That's…
**[02:11] ---**
    The Ten Tails!
**[02:29] ---**
    But I thought the Statue's evil chakra
    had disappeared!
**[02:32] ---**
    Damn it! They got us!
**[02:34] ---**
    That thing doesn't have
    that kind of emotion of feeling!
**[02:38] ---**
    It can't be sensed.
**[02:40] ---**
    It's Natural Energy itself.
**[02:43] ---**
    It's the same as that which
    circulates around the world,
**[02:46] ---**
    that you can feel in
    the soil, water, and the air.
**[02:50] ---**
    It would be a different story
    if you tried it
**[02:52] ---**
    while engaged in Sage Mode though.
**[02:56] ---**
    Got it!
**[02:58] ---**
    So if you say he's all Nature Energy,
**[03:01] ---**
    then I can check him out!
**[03:03] ---**
    Forget it, Naruto…
**[03:05] ---**
    Even if you tried something like that…
**[03:11] ---**
    All you'll see is just
    how immeasurable it is.
**[03:17] ---**
    You're not kidding.
**[03:24] ---**
    I had planned to capture them
    before the Ten Tails revived, but...
**[03:29] ---**
    They're pretty good.
**[03:31] ---**
    I want to start the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    ritual immediately.
**[03:35] ---**
    That Great Genjutsu requires time
    to summon the moon.
**[03:39] ---**
    They will interfere with the jutsu.
**[03:42] ---**
    Things will go more smoothly
**[03:44] ---**
    if we use the Statue's power
    to get rid of them first.
**[03:47] ---**
    Don't you agree?
**[03:49] ---**
    Madara…
**[03:50] ---**
    You just want to test
    the Ten Tails' power, don't you?
**[03:54] ---**
    That's why you deliberately...
**[03:57] ---**
    You're like a child.
**[03:59] ---**
    No.
**[04:01] ---**
    Brats are impatient, touchy fools.
**[04:11] ---**
    Hey… Here comes a big one.
**[04:14] ---**
    You think we can really do this?
**[04:16] ---**
    Don't think you can hide
    under your tentacles
**[04:18] ---**
    'cuz you're scared!
**[04:20] ---**
    But first, hand me Guy over there.
**[04:23] ---**
    I'll heal him later.
**[04:26] ---**
    And that Naruto and Kakashi too!
**[04:29] ---**
    Yeah!
**[04:30] ---**
    Here you go!
**[04:36] ---**
    Listen up.
**[04:37] ---**
    First, we keep our distance
    and see what move he makes!
**[04:40] ---**
    Then we'll counter the attack
**[04:42] ---**
    and hit him with a big blow
    as close as we can get.
**[04:46] ---**
    Just like I said earlier!
**[04:48] ---**
    Nine Tails,
    you're acting like a captain.
**[04:51] ---**
    Huh? You got a problem with that?!
**[04:53] ---**
    Nope…
**[04:54] ---**
    In fact, I feel kind of happy!
**[04:59] ---**
    That line...
**[05:02] ---**
    Save it for after we've won!
**[05:04] ---**
    Let's go!
**[05:22] ---**
    *It's surprisingly fast…*
**[05:23] ---**
    *There wasn't any time to*
    *observe its moves!*
**[05:26] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[05:50] ---**
    Now! Eight-O!
**[05:59] ---**
    Tailed Beast...
**[06:00] ---**
    Bomb Barrage!
**[06:05] ---**
    There's no need to dodge.
**[06:07] ---**
    I want to preserve Ten Tails' power
    as much as possible.
**[06:16] ---**
    *This is…*
**[06:18] ---**
    *…not good!*
**[06:44] ---**
    It's all on you now!
**[06:59] ---**
    Persistent lot!
**[07:01] ---**
    Hey, Naruto, don't tell me...
**[07:04] ---**
    Don't worry Bushier Brow Sensei.
**[07:09] ---**
    Nice control, Naruto!
**[07:13] ---**
    You got them in nice and close!
**[07:15] ---**
    *We focused too much on Ten Tails.*
**[07:18] ---**
    *Sorry about the one leg.*
**[07:20] ---**
    *But here we go!*
**[07:23] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[07:25] ---**
    Yeah!
**[07:26] ---**
    It just looks like one octopus leg
    got left behind, but...
**[07:31] ---**
    Bee! Eight Tails!
**[07:33] ---**
    Operation Octopus Pot!
    Sorry it's a mean and cowardly plot!
**[07:39] ---**
    *I'm gonna smash this*
    *into his eyeball!*
**[07:45] ---**
    *Get him!*
**[07:51] ---**
    Huh?!
**[07:56] ---**
    There are two flies above us as well…
**[08:05] ---**
    *The Ten Tails' tail?!*
**[08:07] ---**
    Naruto!
**[08:13] ---**
    *Kakashi!*
**[08:20] ---**
    *Naruto, you really are
    *a lot like me.*
**[08:27] ---**
    *That's right,
    *you're just younger than me.*
**[08:31] ---**
    *Eventually…*
**[08:40] ---**
    *Forgive me, Eight-O and Octopops!*
**[08:45] ---**
    Another Shadow Clone, huh?
**[09:19] ---**
    Kurama!
**[09:20] ---**
    How can you fall apart
    at a time like this?!
**[09:22] ---**
    That was about eight minutes.
**[09:24] ---**
    It's longer than before,
    but that's the limit.
**[09:28] ---**
    I'm going to have to infuse
    and build up my chakra.
**[09:33] ---**
    Guess we have no choice.
**[09:38] ---**
    That hurts, fool. Ya fool!
**[09:42] ---**
    Bee!
**[09:42] ---**
    I'm going to rest a bit too.
    I'm also at my limit.
**[09:47] ---**
    I can't get healed yet?
**[09:51] ---**
    *Pulling something as massive*
    *as Eight Tails in and out*
**[09:54] ---**
    *sure comes with*
    *a correspondingly large cost.*
**[09:56] ---**
    *I'm drained already.*
**[10:00] ---**
    Seems Eight Tails and Nine Tails
    have run out of chakra for now.
**[10:14] ---**
    You favorite Shadow Clone Jutsu?
**[10:16] ---**
    It may be forbidden high-level ninjutsu,
**[10:18] ---**
    but just increasing
    the number of losers won't--
**[10:20] ---**
    I'm not a loser!
**[10:22] ---**
    Stop, Naruto!
**[10:24] ---**
    It's meaningless to
    create Shadow Clones
**[10:26] ---**
    that will divide your chakra
    even more.
**[10:28] ---**
    They might be useful as diversions,
    but not for decisive hits.
**[10:31] ---**
    And if you go down...
**[10:33] ---**
    we lose this war.
**[10:37] ---**
    You were always just
    a motley crew anyway.
**[10:39] ---**
    Huh?!
**[10:40] ---**
    M-M-Motley crew?
**[10:45] ---**
    Like I said, you're incompetent.
**[10:47] ---**
    He's saying that it's pointless to
    merely increase the number of heads...
**[10:51] ---**
    if they're all empty.
**[10:54] ---**
    You and I are both powerless shinobi.
**[10:58] ---**
    You...
**[11:00] ---**
    no, I should say everyone…
**[11:05] ---**
    will eventually end up like me.
**[11:09] ---**
    I'll never end up like you!
**[11:12] ---**
    How many times
    do I have to tell you?!
**[11:14] ---**
    My dream is to become the Hokage!
**[11:18] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[11:19] ---**
    Everything will go as planned.
**[11:22] ---**
    There is no shinobi jutsu mightier
    than the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[11:26] ---**
    I'll make you Hokage inside this jutsu.
**[11:31] ---**
    So…
**[11:33] ---**
    Just disappear along
    with the rest of this world!
**[12:18] ---**
    What the…?
**[12:21] ---**
    Did it miss? On purpose?
**[12:27] ---**
    About time!
**[12:29] ---**
    Kakashi! Guy!
**[12:31] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[12:33] ---**
    I can't believe he shook off
**[12:35] ---**
    my Byakugan-aided, spot-on Mind Transfer
    in just two seconds!
**[12:39] ---**
    But you still succeeded in shifting
    that large thing's aim off target.
**[12:41] ---**
    Good work!
**[12:42] ---**
    Are you all right, Naruto?
**[12:44] ---**
    Yeah!
**[12:45] ---**
    You don't have to act tough
    in front of Hinata, Naruto!
**[12:50] ---**
    Beetle Jamming Jutsu!
**[12:55] ---**
    Hidden Mist Jutsu!
**[13:05] ---**
    We're here, Naruto!
**[13:07] ---**
    All right, we won't be
    so easily detectable now!
**[13:11] ---**
    Lord Bee! You're in better shape
    than I expected!
**[13:14] ---**
    Lord Bee! You look seriously wounded!
**[13:16] ---**
    Omoi, you worry too much!
**[13:19] ---**
    Guy Sensei, don't tell me
    you used Hirudora?!
**[13:22] ---**
    Lee!
**[13:23] ---**
    I'm sorry we're late, Captain Kakashi.
**[13:25] ---**
    Sakura, first off...!
**[13:27] ---**
    I know!
**[13:35] ---**
    *The Sensory Water Sphere won't*
    *maintain its original shape.*
**[13:38] ---**
    *We better...!*
**[13:39] ---**
    Inoichi! Ao! Confirm the situation!
**[13:42] ---**
    - Roger!
    - Okay!
**[13:47] ---**
    First Company has arrived!
**[13:49] ---**
    Second Company has also arrived!
**[13:52] ---**
    Third Company has arrived!
**[13:54] ---**
    Fourth Company has arrived!
**[13:56] ---**
    Fifth Company has also arrived!
**[13:58] ---**
    The Medical Unit's here too!
**[14:01] ---**
    Sensory Unit has arrived!
**[14:04] ---**
    Nice try hiding, but...
**[14:12] ---**
    Wind Style!
**[14:14] ---**
    Art of the Gust Blade!
**[14:25] ---**
    We're not a motley crew anymore!
**[14:28] ---**
    Here is the Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu!
**[14:33] ---**
    The world's greatest, most invincible,
    super-duper ninjutsu, you know!
**[14:38] ---**
    A jutsu that trumps
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Remember that!
**[14:43] ---**
    The Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu, eh?
**[14:45] ---**
    Don't you think that's a bit of stretch?
**[14:47] ---**
    We're going to stop you two
    with this jutsu!
**[14:50] ---**
    You're wrong.
**[14:51] ---**
    Why won't you realize that
    it's meaningless for you to stop us here?
**[14:56] ---**
    After this war,
    even that jutsu will disintegrate…
**[15:01] ---**
    Then someone from your side
    will attempt to do
**[15:03] ---**
    exactly what we're doing now.
**[15:06] ---**
    There is no victory,
    no matter how much you struggle.
**[15:12] ---**
    Get it through your head.
**[15:14] ---**
    There's no such thing as hope
    anywhere in this world.
**[15:20] ---**
    I don't care!
**[15:24] ---**
    I'll make sure there's hope!
**[15:30] ---**
    It's meaningless to argue
**[15:31] ---**
    whether there is or isn't
    something during a war.
**[15:33] ---**
    How about we settle this now?
**[15:36] ---**
    When there's a difference of opinion,
    isn't the usual way majority rule?
**[15:41] ---**
    So what do we do?
**[15:44] ---**
    That's a good suggestion.
**[15:45] ---**
    Then…
**[15:47] ---**
    We'll call it after
    we've erased all of you
**[15:50] ---**
    And...
**[15:52] ---**
    I knew you'd say that.
**[15:54] ---**
    But…
**[16:02] ---**
    This world…
**[16:07] ---**
    - will end!
    - will not end!
**[16:09] ---**
    Let's go, everyone!
**[16:11] ---**
    This is the final deciding battle!
**[16:17] ---**
    Scatter!
**[16:20] ---**
    *Thanks for buying us*
    *some time, Naruto.*
**[16:23] ---**
    Did you have enough time
    to come up with a strategy?
**[16:26] ---**
    *Thanks to you, I was able to*
    *relay it to everyone!*
**[16:30] ---**
    *Kakashi told us the masked man*
    *is Obito Uchiha.*
**[16:33] ---**
    *But there's no time to be shocked.*
**[16:35] ---**
    *For this fight, we need to take*
    *and maintain the upper hand*
**[16:37] ---**
    *and not give them*
    *any opportunity to counter!*
**[16:40] ---**
    *According to the intel we received,*
    *our enemy has impressive eyes.*
**[16:45] ---**
    *First, we'll impede their movement*
    *by destroying their vision.*
**[16:50] ---**
    *The Hidden Cloud!*
**[16:54] ---**
    Lightning Style!
**[16:56] ---**
    Flash Pillar!
**[17:00] ---**
    Gale Style! Laser Circus.
**[17:16] ---**
    I see…
**[17:18] ---**
    Their true aim is to blind Ten Tails!
**[17:23] ---**
    *With the two jutsu from earlier,*
**[17:24] ---**
    *the Hidden Mist's Mist*
    *and the Beetle Jamming...*
**[17:27] ---**
    *Along with the large volume*
    *of airborne dust*
**[17:30] ---**
    *stirred up by the Gale Style right now...*
**[17:32] ---**
    *The Hidden Sand, now!*
**[17:36] ---**
    Wind Style: Air Current Dance!
**[17:41] ---**
    *We'll not just destroy*
    *their vision completely,*
**[17:43] ---**
    *but thwart them from*
    *even sensing us at all.*
**[17:47] ---**
    *And since their sheer bulk*
    *prevents them from hiding...*
**[17:49] ---**
    *we'll be able to take*
    *full advantage of the situation.*
**[17:53] ---**
    *We only revealed our jutsu*
    *to him a short while ago,*
**[17:56] ---**
    *and he's already incorporating them*
    *into the battle plan!*
**[17:59] ---**
    *Leave it to Shikamaru's dad,*
    *like father like son!*
**[18:10] ---**
    This makes it impossible to sense them.
**[18:13] ---**
    We'll wipe them all out with
    a Ten Tails' attack!
**[18:16] ---**
    *The Hidden Stone,*
    *proceed immediately!*
**[18:19] ---**
    We know!
**[18:22] ---**
    Earth Style: Vast Mobile Core!
**[18:31] ---**
    *After shutting down their senses,*
    *we'll immobilize them!*
**[18:41] ---**
    *As soon as we bring down*
    *the Ten Tails, pour in quicklime!*
**[18:44] ---**
    - Lava Style: Quicklime Jutsu!
    - Lava Style: Quicklime Jutsu!
**[18:52] ---**
    *Hidden Mist! You're up next!*
**[18:54] ---**
    - Water Style: Water Bomb Jutsu!
    - Water Style: Water Bomb Jutsu!
**[18:58] ---**
    *We'll add water to the mix,*
**[19:00] ---**
    *and rapidly stir up the quicklime!*
**[19:04] ---**
    *Hidden Leaf! Let's finish this!*
**[19:07] ---**
    Sarutobi Clan members!
**[19:09] ---**
    Let's go!
**[19:11] ---**
    Fire Style: Majestic Flame Jutsu!
**[19:13] ---**
    *And we'll dry it with the heat*
    *from the Fire Style…*
**[19:27] ---**
    *Let it set and immobilize it!*
**[19:32] ---**
    Unbelievable.
**[19:35] ---**
    Who would've thought,
**[19:37] ---**
    that the ninja from the five villages
    could work so cooperatively.
**[19:44] ---**
    *Unless we stop the Ten Tails,*
**[19:46] ---**
    *we don't have a chance*
    *to go after Obito or Madara.*
**[19:49] ---**
    *The Ten Tails is merely a tool*
    *for them to aid in activating their jutsu.*
**[19:53] ---**
    *If we cut off the head from the body,*
    *namely those two…*
**[19:56] ---**
    *Infinite Tsukuyomi cannot*
    *be activated!*
**[19:59] ---**
    *But keep in mind that*
    *we won't be able to suppress*
**[20:03] ---**
    *the Ten Tails' power for too long.*
**[20:06] ---**
    *Only physical attacks work*
    *on Madara.*
**[20:08] ---**
    *So shinobi who are skilled*
    *in taijutsu will go after Madara!*
**[20:12] ---**
    *Obito can slip through*
    *all moves and jutsu,*
**[20:14] ---**
    *but according to our intel,*
    *that only lasts for five minutes.*
**[20:18] ---**
    *Coordinate with the Medical Unit and*
**[20:20] ---**
    *keep attacking him*
    *for more than five minutes!*
**[20:22] ---**
    *Do not let up!*
**[20:23] ---**
    *That's right, Naruto...*
**[20:25] ---**
    *It's now time for your...*
**[20:37] ---**
    Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu!
**[20:41] ---**
    How pitiful.
**[20:43] ---**
    Yeah.
**[20:46] ---**
    This hope that they're clinging to
    doesn't exist.
**[20:49] ---**
    Just like their very lives,
    at this point.
**[20:55] ---**
    It seems Ten Tails...is ready.
**[22:37] ---**
    Don't just stand there
    spacing out, Naruto!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    This is a battlefield
    and we're at war.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    People die!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Naruto, your power is critical
    to the plan.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    You are the key!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    So until we execute it...
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    We must protect you, Naruto!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Ties That Bind"
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    The Hyuga are the mightiest
    among The Hidden Leaf!
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    THE TIES THAT BIND
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Ties that Bind*
    
    
    
**[01:32] ---**
    This is the Allied
    Shinobi Forces Jutsu!
**[01:36] ---**
    How pitiful.
**[01:39] ---**
    Yeah.
**[01:41] ---**
    This hope that they're all
    clinging to doesn't exist.
**[01:45] ---**
    Just like their very lives,
    at this point.
**[01:51] ---**
    It seems Ten Tails is ready.
**[01:54] ---**
    Fifth Gate of Closing! Open!
**[01:57] ---**
    *So this time, they're coming*
    *after us, not Ten Tails...*
**[02:02] ---**
    *Well...*
**[02:03] ---**
    *Taking the enemy's brains*
    *is a fundamental strategy...*
**[02:07] ---**
    *I'll follow the strategy and...*
**[02:08] ---**
    *take down those two,*
    *who are the brains of the Ten Tails!*
**[02:12] ---**
    *For that to work...*
**[02:14] ---**
    *they would need to*
    *stop the Ten Tails first!*
**[02:23] ---**
    What?! I thought we had immobilized
    the Ten Tails!
**[02:27] ---**
    Are you okay?! Damn it...
**[02:49] ---**
    *My shoulder's dislocated...*
**[02:51] ---**
    Look at the Sensing Water Sphere...
**[02:53] ---**
    It's practically like a small planet.
**[02:56] ---**
    But that's...impossible!
**[02:59] ---**
    So we didn't immobilize
    Ten Tails, after all?
**[03:01] ---**
    It merely stopped moving on its own
**[03:03] ---**
    in order to amass power
    and undergo transformation?
**[03:05] ---**
    How are we going to be able to stop it?
**[03:07] ---**
    And now we can't target those two either!
**[03:10] ---**
    But we have to stop that thing
    or else it's over for us.
**[03:17] ---**
    I'm about to pee myself...
**[03:19] ---**
    Instead of freaking out,
    infuse your chakra!
**[03:22] ---**
    Be ready to move as soon as
    we get the plan from HQ!
**[03:26] ---**
    *We must immobilize Ten Tails...*
**[03:29] ---**
    *or else we can't go after*
    *the brains that are controlling it...*
**[03:34] ---**
    *But how?*
**[03:36] ---**
    *Even with the jutsu of my clan*
    *who specialize in immobilizing...*
**[03:39] ---**
    *the effect would be miniscule compared*
    *to the amount of chakra expended.*
**[03:44] ---**
    Inoichi!
**[03:45] ---**
    Link me to Kakashi!
**[03:47] ---**
    Roger!
**[03:48] ---**
    *Kakashi, it's me!*
**[03:51] ---**
    *There's something*
    *I want to confirm*
**[03:53] ---**
    *regarding the intel from*
    *the last battle sequence...*
**[03:59] ---**
    It's going to start getting more difficult
    to control Ten Tails soon...
**[04:03] ---**
    Reinforce your bond with it
    using Hashirama's cells.
**[04:07] ---**
    Don't you want to check out
    Ten Tails' power in its current state?
**[04:12] ---**
    First, let's...
**[04:14] ---**
    Yes, let's show them...
**[04:19] ---**
    ...despair!
**[04:28] ---**
    *Shikaku, I'm going to*
    *let you go for now!*
**[04:30] ---**
    *What's the matter?!*
**[04:31] ---**
    This is...
**[04:32] ---**
    No way!
**[04:35] ---**
    Lord Shikaku! Lord Inoichi!
**[04:38] ---**
    *My Kamui won't make it in time!*
**[04:41] ---**
    Displace it upwards using
    an Earth Style technique.
**[04:43] ---**
    Right!
**[04:57] ---**
    That far away?
**[04:59] ---**
    It's so much greater than
    all the previous Tailed Beasts!
**[05:02] ---**
    What power!
**[05:05] ---**
    It's wobbly from just that little counter...
**[05:07] ---**
    Its control isn't perfect yet.
**[05:09] ---**
    Next!
**[05:29] ---**
    Unbelievable! Such a far-off city
    destroyed in an instant!
**[05:38] ---**
    It's been acting strange for a while,
    it seems to be aiming far away!
**[05:42] ---**
    So all the cities,
    and people are within its range of fire?
**[05:46] ---**
    Then that means
    the evacuated Feudal Lords,
**[05:48] ---**
    everyone protecting the villages...
**[05:49] ---**
    plus all the citizens of
    each nation aren't safe?
**[05:52] ---**
    Our shinobi on the battlefield are
    fighting to protect everyone else...
**[05:58] ---**
    Those two are trying to eliminate
    our reason for this war.
**[06:10] ---**
    *That's the direction of--!*
**[06:14] ---**
    Th-This is...
**[06:15] ---**
    What's wrong, Lord Ao?!
**[06:19] ---**
    Please listen to me calmly.
**[06:27] ---**
    Here, eh?
**[06:30] ---**
    Well, Shikaku... What do we do?
**[06:32] ---**
    Just keep doing what we must do.
**[06:36] ---**
    It will be our last act.
**[06:37] ---**
    Put me through to
    everyone on the battlefield.
**[06:39] ---**
    I have a plan to stop the Ten Tails!
**[07:21] ---**
    Finally got them.
**[07:24] ---**
    We've now smashed
    the brains of the Allied Forces.
**[07:27] ---**
    Like I said before,
    it's fundamental strategy.
**[07:32] ---**
    Shikamaru...
**[07:34] ---**
    We're in the middle of a war.
**[07:36] ---**
    Don't waste any words on me.
**[07:39] ---**
    Or on Ino.
**[07:43] ---**
    Like Dad said, we just have
    to do what we have to do.
**[07:58] ---**
    Wait... What exactly just happened?!
**[08:02] ---**
    You are the key to our plan.
**[08:04] ---**
    Not about that!
**[08:05] ---**
    I'm asking what happened to
    Shikaku and Inoichi?!
**[08:14] ---**
    Neji! Rotate clockwise!
**[08:16] ---**
    Got it!
**[08:17] ---**
    - Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
    - Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
**[08:19] ---**
    A-Amazing...
**[08:23] ---**
    Don't just stand there
    spacing out, Naruto!
**[08:25] ---**
    This is a battlefield
    and we're in a war.
**[08:28] ---**
    People will die!
**[08:30] ---**
    But if we are defeated
    and lose this war...
**[08:33] ---**
    everyone will die!
**[08:36] ---**
    Of course I know that!
**[08:39] ---**
    Shikamaru and Ino's father
    would likely say, that as shinobi,
**[08:42] ---**
    they're glad to have died
    before their children.
**[08:45] ---**
    Just as my father did.
**[08:50] ---**
    Naruto, your power is critical
    to the plan.
**[08:54] ---**
    So until we execute it...
**[08:56] ---**
    We must protect you, Naruto!
**[08:58] ---**
    Hinata!
**[09:00] ---**
    Know this!
**[09:02] ---**
    The Hyuga are the mightiest
    among the Hidden Leaf!
**[09:05] ---**
    There he goes...
    I was hoping to take them down
**[09:08] ---**
    before they started
    with the speeches, but...
**[09:10] ---**
    It's hard to control Ten Tails well.
**[09:14] ---**
    This ought to do until
    the next transformation, but...
**[09:18] ---**
    Afterwards...
**[09:19] ---**
    I suspect only a Jinchuriki will
    be able to control it.
**[09:25] ---**
    Though for me to become
    the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki...
**[09:28] ---**
    I'll need to be fully alive,
**[09:31] ---**
    not hosted within a corpse
    as a Reanimation.
**[09:35] ---**
    Reanimations like you are perfect
    for large-scale suicidal attacks.
**[09:38] ---**
    But the reason
    you haven't launched
**[09:40] ---**
    the Ten Tails Tailed Beast Bomb
    at them, blowing yourself up as well,
**[09:44] ---**
    is because I'd get caught up
    in it and die too.
**[09:48] ---**
    And the reason that
    would be a problem,
**[09:51] ---**
    is because in order for you to
    truly be brought back to life
**[09:54] ---**
    and become a Jinchuriki...
**[09:56] ---**
    you need me to sacrifice myself
**[09:58] ---**
    and perform the Gedo Art of
    Rinne Rebirth on you.
**[10:02] ---**
    In short, you're in
    a delicate position right now
**[10:05] ---**
    where you're entirely at my mercy.
**[10:09] ---**
    Don't forget that.
**[10:11] ---**
    Well, well, that rug rat sure
    has become the wily fox.
**[10:15] ---**
    I never considered you a friend.
**[10:20] ---**
    Fine then.
**[10:22] ---**
    You decide our next move then.
**[10:26] ---**
    We continue.
**[10:27] ---**
    They will know despair...thoroughly.
**[10:36] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[10:37] ---**
    Cutting Sprigs!
**[10:39] ---**
    There's so many of them!
**[10:40] ---**
    Just try to evade them.
**[10:41] ---**
    *My Mountain Jutsu should*
    *at least slow it down*
**[10:43] ---**
    *until Nine Tails' strength returns.*
**[10:46] ---**
    *Except I need some time*
    *to build up enough chakra!*
**[10:49] ---**
    *Hold on, everybody!*
**[10:51] ---**
    Cha!
**[10:54] ---**
    So many!
**[10:56] ---**
    My Rotation can't keep up!
**[11:02] ---**
    Thanks, Neji!
**[11:03] ---**
    I can activate Sage Mode now!
**[11:05] ---**
    I can't keep relying on you geniuses!
**[11:08] ---**
    Now it's my turn!
**[11:10] ---**
    *Rasen Shuriken!*
**[11:17] ---**
    Here's a few more!
**[11:30] ---**
    *Eight Trigrams: Air Wall Palm!*
**[11:36] ---**
    *Damn it! A focused attack!*
**[11:38] ---**
    There's too many!
**[11:39] ---**
    Hinata and Neji's Air Palms
    won't be sufficient...
**[11:41] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[11:55] ---**
    Earth Style! Mountain Jutsu!
**[12:00] ---**
    Medical Team!
**[12:02] ---**
    Where are you?!
    There's a critical injury here!
**[12:04] ---**
    Hurry!
**[12:08] ---**
    No...
**[12:10] ---**
    I'm no longer...
**[12:13] ---**
    Neji...
**[12:15] ---**
    Brother...
**[12:20] ---**
    Naruto...
**[12:24] ---**
    Lady Hinata...
**[12:26] ---**
    is willing to die for you.
**[12:31] ---**
    So...you hold more...
**[12:36] ---**
    than one...life in your hands...
**[12:43] ---**
    And it seems...that my life too...
    may have been...
**[12:50] ---**
    one of them....
**[12:54] ---**
    Why? Why did you do this here?
**[12:59] ---**
    You were going to change
    the Hyuga!
**[13:03] ---**
    *Long ago, those words of yours,*
    *freed me from the shackles of fate.*
**[13:14] ---**
    Why would you go so far for me?
**[13:18] ---**
    Even give up your life...
**[13:22] ---**
    Because...you called me a genius...
**[13:30] ---**
    *Unlike me, you're not a failure!*
**[13:36] ---**
    *Father...*
**[13:38] ---**
    *I finally understand...*
    *the freedom you felt...*
**[13:43] ---**
    *choosing to die in order*
    *to protect your comrades.*
**[13:55] ---**
    Didn't you say you wouldn't
    let your friends die...?
**[13:58] ---**
    Naruto!
**[14:07] ---**
    *I'll never let my comrades die!*
**[14:20] ---**
    Those words...
    "I'll never let my comrades die."
**[14:27] ---**
    Now look around you...
    and say it again!
**[14:45] ---**
    I told you to say it again!
**[14:50] ---**
    As the bodies of your comrades
    grow cold in your arms...
**[14:52] ---**
    take in their deaths!
**[14:58] ---**
    Neji's...dead?!
**[15:04] ---**
    *Hizashi, forgive me...*
**[15:07] ---**
    *I let Neji--!*
**[15:09] ---**
    This will continue...
**[15:12] ---**
    And your flippant words and
    ideology shall become lies.
**[15:17] ---**
    This is the end result of
    hope and ideals.
**[15:20] ---**
    This is reality!
**[15:23] ---**
    Naruto...
**[15:25] ---**
    What is there for you in this reality?
**[15:27] ---**
    Your mother and father are gone,
    as well as your master, Jiraiya.
**[15:30] ---**
    And if you keep standing against us,
**[15:33] ---**
    you'll continue to lose
    your friends one by one.
**[15:38] ---**
    This shall become a world
**[15:39] ---**
    where no one who
    acknowledges you will exist.
**[15:44] ---**
    Obito...
**[15:46] ---**
    The only thing that awaits you...
**[15:49] ---**
    is your worst nightmare,
    which you know quite well!
**[15:57] ---**
    Solitude!
**[16:06] ---**
    *You've become exactly*
    *like the old me, Obito.*
**[16:11] ---**
    *Naruto will give up shortly...*
**[16:13] ---**
    *Which will break the will*
    *of the Allied Forces.*
**[16:16] ---**
    Why must you cling to reality?
**[16:20] ---**
    Enough of this...
    Now come join us, Naruto!
**[16:37] ---**
    Brother Neji just said,
**[16:40] ---**
    that you hold more than
    one life in your hands.
**[16:43] ---**
    Do you know what he meant?
**[16:49] ---**
    "I'll never let my comrades die."
**[16:52] ---**
    Neither those words nor
    the conviction behind them are lies!
**[16:58] ---**
    Because he was able to successfully
    store them in his heart,
**[17:00] ---**
    and live them out to until the end!
**[17:02] ---**
    Brother Neji did!
**[17:07] ---**
    It's not just you, Naruto...
**[17:09] ---**
    We all hold those words
    and feelings in our hearts.
**[17:14] ---**
    They're what bind our lives together...
**[17:18] ---**
    and make us comrades.
**[17:22] ---**
    If we all give up and
    discard those words and feelings,
**[17:28] ---**
    Neji's final act will have been
    for nothing.
**[17:31] ---**
    And that is when...
    your comrades truly die!
**[17:36] ---**
    For you are then
    no longer comrades.
**[17:39] ---**
    That's...how I feel.
**[17:45] ---**
    So, stand with me, Naruto.
**[17:51] ---**
    Because never going back
    on one's word...
**[17:54] ---**
    is my Ninja Way too!
**[18:00] ---**
    *Naruto...*
**[18:01] ---**
    *Lady Hinata...*
    *is willing to die for you.*
**[18:07] ---**
    *So...you hold more...*
**[18:10] ---**
    ...than one life!
**[18:12] ---**
    Don't forget about me!
**[18:15] ---**
    I know.
**[18:16] ---**
    I take my bonds seriously!
**[18:17] ---**
    I'd never abandon my comrades!
**[18:20] ---**
    But in reality, Neji is...
**[18:23] ---**
    Stop your rambling!
**[18:26] ---**
    I'll beat you up and take over
    your body for good this time!
**[18:30] ---**
    And did you also forget?
**[18:32] ---**
    Your mother and father did
    the same thing Neji did
**[18:36] ---**
    just after you were born.
**[18:37] ---**
    They sealed me,
    their archenemy inside you,
**[18:40] ---**
    and entrusted the future
    to you and died.
**[18:44] ---**
    Your life was already linked to
    two others from the time you were born!
**[18:52] ---**
    *Will he just stand back and*
    *see how Naruto responds...?*
**[18:57] ---**
    *It seems Naruto makes him uneasy.*
**[19:01] ---**
    Enough!
**[19:05] ---**
    Don't be hasty!
**[19:06] ---**
    You're going to harm yourself
    as well as Ten Tails!
**[19:08] ---**
    I don't care!
**[19:10] ---**
    Ten Tails hide is tough!
**[19:15] ---**
    They're going to hit us!
**[19:17] ---**
    Recharging completed!
**[19:19] ---**
    *Be careful, Lord Bee!*
**[19:21] ---**
    Go get 'em!
**[19:28] ---**
    Take this!
**[19:45] ---**
    Lord Bee!
**[19:46] ---**
    Don't go overboard!
**[19:48] ---**
    There's no need to worry...
**[19:50] ---**
    Protecting the Alliance is my territory!
**[20:04] ---**
    *That's right.*
**[20:05] ---**
    *It wasn't just Mom and Dad.*
**[20:08] ---**
    *Yeah...*
**[20:10] ---**
    *It hasn't just been my life...*
**[20:14] ---**
    *up until now.*
**[20:25] ---**
    Thanks, Hinata!
**[20:29] ---**
    It's all thanks to you
    standing by my side.
**[20:34] ---**
    And Neji...
**[20:36] ---**
    Thank you.
**[20:46] ---**
    *Naruto's hand is so big...*
**[20:49] ---**
    *and strong, but most of all...*
**[20:55] ---**
    Let's do this, Hinata!
**[20:58] ---**
    Yeah!
**[21:01] ---**
    *It's comforting!*
**[22:38] ---**
    I haven't been able to save
    many comrades...
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    An existence where one can only
    await one's death inside a cage...
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    It's a nice analogy.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    You're all exactly like that brat who
    just died a pointless death.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Neji's will isn't dead yet!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Those Who Dance in the Shadows."
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    THOSE WHO DANCE IN THE SHADOWS
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Those Who Dance in the Shadows*
    
    
    
**[01:41] ---**
    *What is this chakra?*
**[01:45] ---**
    *They all sense the chakra,*
**[01:46] ---**
    *even though none of them*
    *are sensory types.*
**[01:52] ---**
    *This chakra is...*
**[01:55] ---**
    Let's go.
**[01:57] ---**
    Hurry and
    lead the way, Orochimaru.
**[02:00] ---**
    *It looks like he's a bit concerned...*
**[02:03] ---**
    *about Naruto.*
**[02:24] ---**
    That's Nine Tails'—
    I mean, Naruto's chakra!
**[02:29] ---**
    Nice work transforming and
    transferring my chakra, Naruto!
**[02:34] ---**
    I've gotten the hang of it.
    Work with me, Kurama!
**[02:37] ---**
    *That shinobi Nara,*
**[02:39] ---**
    *he sure analyzed my chakra*
    *exchange capabilities extensively.*
**[02:44] ---**
    We've kept them waiting a while.
**[02:47] ---**
    A few shadow clones should be okay.
**[02:50] ---**
    Got it!
**[02:52] ---**
    *A-Amazing... Naruto is able*
    *to use this chakra...*
**[02:57] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[03:01] ---**
    You're late, Naruto!
**[03:03] ---**
    Sorry!
**[03:07] ---**
    Choji! Ino!
**[03:08] ---**
    O-Okay!
**[03:10] ---**
    What...is this?
**[03:12] ---**
    Are these calories?
**[03:15] ---**
    Hey! Choji!
**[03:16] ---**
    You're gaining weight again!
**[03:31] ---**
    That brat Naruto... Is he giving
    them the Nine Tails' chakra?
**[03:43] ---**
    *8 Trigrams Air Palm!*
**[03:47] ---**
    *I feel...my power surging!*
**[03:51] ---**
    She did that with just an Air Palm?!
**[03:54] ---**
    That girl...
**[03:56] ---**
    She's gotten quite strong after
    getting power from Naruto...
**[04:04] ---**
    Expansion Jutsu!
**[04:10] ---**
    Shikamaru! Ino!
**[04:12] ---**
    Are you ready?!
**[04:13] ---**
    - Yeah!
    - Okay!
**[04:15] ---**
    You all understand the plan, right?
    Beat it into your heads!
**[04:20] ---**
    Start with Ino-Shika-Cho!
**[04:24] ---**
    What if the plan doesn't work?
**[04:27] ---**
    Then you live on and
    take the reins, Shikamaru.
**[04:33] ---**
    HQ will be wiped out shortly.
**[04:49] ---**
    The only face time I spent with you
    as your father
**[04:51] ---**
    was when we played shogi.
**[04:54] ---**
    I haven't given you a thing--
**[04:56] ---**
    You gave me plenty.
**[05:03] ---**
    I was able to grow up,
    staring at your back, Dad.
**[05:16] ---**
    Ino...
**[05:17] ---**
    You've grown up to become
    the embodiment
**[05:20] ---**
    of the Yamanaka clan's purple crest,
    the bush clover, and what it symbolizes...
**[05:25] ---**
    Optimistic love...right?
**[05:30] ---**
    That's not the only thing
    the bush clover stands for.
**[05:33] ---**
    The thing I am most proud of
    is your care and compassion...
**[05:36] ---**
    for your friends!
**[05:44] ---**
    I've watched you blossom into
    a beautiful bush clover flower...
**[05:51] ---**
    Our time's almost up.
**[05:55] ---**
    Do you have any final words, Shikaku?
**[05:58] ---**
    Hmm...
**[05:59] ---**
    Could you tell your mom
    this for me, Shikamaru...
**[06:03] ---**
    Wait! Before that, throw out
    that thing in the wooden box
**[06:05] ---**
    on the left-hand shelf
    of the storeroom
**[06:06] ---**
    without your mom finding out!
**[06:08] ---**
    I know all about it...
**[06:10] ---**
    Don't worry...
**[06:14] ---**
    Lastly, from me...
**[06:16] ---**
    Never forget that we live on
    inside of you forever.
**[06:20] ---**
    Don't forget!
**[06:22] ---**
    Don't mock me!
**[06:25] ---**
    What?!
**[06:27] ---**
    - Shadow Possession...
    - Mind Transfer...
**[06:28] ---**
    - Jutsu!
    - Jutsu!
**[06:33] ---**
    *I'm in!*
**[06:35] ---**
    *Tsk... They did it again!*
**[06:38] ---**
    Damn you!
**[06:41] ---**
    They're faster than me!
**[06:42] ---**
    Nice, Ino!
**[06:58] ---**
    They just keep on coming...
**[07:00] ---**
    Now it's the Nara's Paralysis jutsu...
**[07:05] ---**
    - Don't mess with the Nara Clan!
    - Don't mess with the Nara Clan!
**[07:11] ---**
    All right! We stopped him
    in his tracks!
**[07:14] ---**
    You can stop now, Ino!
**[07:17] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[07:18] ---**
    Y-Yeah...
**[07:24] ---**
    Neji!
**[07:27] ---**
    Lee, stop crying!
**[07:33] ---**
    Lee...
**[07:36] ---**
    Lee...
**[07:37] ---**
    So long as we don't abandon
    Neji's convictions,
**[07:40] ---**
    he will continue to live on,
    connected inside all of us.
**[07:43] ---**
    Let me share a little something
    with you.
**[07:50] ---**
    It's those connections that
    made me what I am today!
**[07:54] ---**
    You ought to know that bonds
    can be powerful curses too!
**[07:58] ---**
    Naruto...
**[08:00] ---**
    I was the one who once told you,
**[08:03] ---**
    "I will never let my comrades die..."
**[08:08] ---**
    Those words are also
    an admonition aimed at myself.
**[08:14] ---**
    I haven't been able to save
    many comrades.
**[08:18] ---**
    Which is why I keep telling
    myself this time, I will protect them.
**[08:22] ---**
    But then, I end up having to face
    the fact that I couldn't once more.
**[08:29] ---**
    I'll be confronting those wounds...
    for the rest of my life.
**[08:34] ---**
    But that's why we're ninja.
**[08:37] ---**
    We are those who endure.
**[08:41] ---**
    They'll never let you forget.
**[08:44] ---**
    But it's those wounds that prove
    your comrades live on inside here.
**[08:47] ---**
    Your friends are still alive
    in here...
**[08:51] ---**
    Friends that you create
    inside a dream,
**[08:54] ---**
    so you can't get hurt,
    aren't real.
**[08:57] ---**
    That means you're just erasing
    your real friends!
**[09:02] ---**
    Curse or not, I want to keep
    the real Neji right here.
**[09:11] ---**
    *The real Neji...right here...*
**[09:20] ---**
    *Gentle Fist!*
**[09:26] ---**
    *It's no use, Lee.*
**[09:28] ---**
    *No matter how hard you try,*
    *you'll never defeat me.*
**[09:31] ---**
    *That's just how things are.*
**[09:34] ---**
    *Look for a different rival.*
**[09:41] ---**
    *So you saw me lose.*
**[09:45] ---**
    *Hey, Lee, I used to think that*
**[09:46] ---**
    *you couldn't change the fate*
    *that was handed to you...*
**[09:50] ---**
    *One day, I'll fight you for real,*
    *so we can see which is greater,*
**[09:55] ---**
    *your Ferocious Fist*
    *or my Gentle Fist.*
**[09:59] ---**
    *But...I shall not lose so long*
    *as my eyes are black.*
**[10:08] ---**
    *In your case, Neji, isn't it*
    *the white of your eyes?*
**[10:12] ---**
    *Oh... Yeah... But anyway...*
    *You have me as your rival.*
**[10:25] ---**
    It's a lot stronger than before,
    and more of it than last time.
**[10:33] ---**
    *There's something I want to confirm*
**[10:34] ---**
    *regarding the intel from*
    *the last battle sequence...*
**[10:37] ---**
    Kakashi, you said that
    the reason why
**[10:40] ---**
    you were able to travel
    through space time using Kamui,
**[10:42] ---**
    plus pull Eight Tails
    in and out almost whole,
**[10:44] ---**
    was thanks to receiving
    Nine Tails' chakra from Naruto, right?
**[10:48] ---**
    Yes ...
**[10:51] ---**
    To be more precise,
**[10:53] ---**
    I received that chakra
    directly from Nine Tails...
**[10:55] ---**
    In reference to your choice
    of words, "Thanks to..."
**[10:59] ---**
    How different was it
**[11:00] ---**
    compared to using Kamui
    without Nine Tails' chakra?
**[11:04] ---**
    Explain it to me in simple terms.
**[11:08] ---**
    I would say more than
    three times the power.
**[11:11] ---**
    I couldn't really hurl things
    that were very large
**[11:13] ---**
    or do it very often before that.
**[11:21] ---**
    Almost done?
**[11:27] ---**
    *Humph... Looks like things*
    *have gone your way, Fourth Hokage!*
**[11:34] ---**
    NARUTO NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    *Until now, the only one who was*
    *able to link their chakra to mine*
**[11:37] ---**
    NARUTO NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    *was Naruto because*
    *he possesses Kushina's*
**[11:40] ---**
    NARUTO NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    *and because he has been*
    *my Jinchuriki for many years...*
**[11:43] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA
    *And Naruto has matured*
    *to the point*
**[11:45] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA
    *where he's skillful enough to sense*
    *and transmute my chakra*
**[11:49] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA
    *to be compatible with other shinobi*
    *and then hand it over to them.*
**[11:54] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA NINJA
    *Though I can also help*
    *or use Naruto*
**[11:57] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA NINJA
    *as an intermediary*
    *to give my chakra to anyone...*
**[12:00] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA NINJA NINJA
    *The same exact way*
    *you handed over*
**[12:02] ---**
    NINE TAILS' CHAKRA
    NARUTO
    NINJA NINJA NINJA NINJA
    *and inserted your own chakra*
    *into Naruto, Minato.*
**[12:07] ---**
    *He's already...*
**[12:08] ---**
    *Surpassed you both*
    *a while ago now.*
**[12:11] ---**
    *The amount of chakra*
    *he's linking and delivering*
**[12:14] ---**
    *is on a completely*
    *different scale!*
**[12:17] ---**
    *Kushina, Minato...*
    *You're pathetic!*
**[12:20] ---**
    *You both pale in comparison*
    *to your brat Naruto!*
**[12:27] ---**
    *But this is probably...*
**[12:31] ---**
    *the power you wanted*
    *to give to Naruto.*
**[12:38] ---**
    *Heh... I should probably lend*
    *a little more power too.*
**[12:58] ---**
    *Damn it!*
    *He's pushing me back hard!*
**[13:01] ---**
    Naruto, now's your chance!
    Do it now!
**[13:06] ---**
    *Tailed Beast Bomb!*
**[13:08] ---**
    *Beam of Light.*
**[13:09] ---**
    - Eight Trigrams Wall of Air Palm!
    - Eight Trigrams Wall of Air Palm!
**[13:13] ---**
    - Wind Style: Giant Casting Net!
    - Wind Style: Giant Casting Net!
**[13:29] ---**
    I won't let Neji's death
    be in vain!
**[13:33] ---**
    A curse mark that doesn't
    go away until you die...
**[13:37] ---**
    A shinobi curse that Hyuga's main
    and branch families gave rise to...
**[13:41] ---**
    An existence where one can
    only await one's death inside a cage.
**[13:45] ---**
    It's a nice analogy for
    our current situation.
**[13:47] ---**
    You're all exactly like that brat
    who just died a pointless death.
**[13:52] ---**
    Neji...
**[13:56] ---**
    Neji's will...
**[14:05] ---**
    isn't...
**[14:08] ---**
    dead yet!
**[14:20] ---**
    I'll take the right!
**[14:22] ---**
    Gotcha!
**[14:25] ---**
    *Damn it! My shoulder's dislocated again!*
**[14:27] ---**
    Gentle Fist!
**[14:35] ---**
    Go, Lee!
**[14:36] ---**
    All right!
**[14:52] ---**
    Unlike you guys, I don't want...
**[14:56] ---**
    to sever any of my bonds...
    or get them cut off!
**[15:05] ---**
    So this is it...
**[15:10] ---**
    This place seems to be untouched.
**[15:12] ---**
    It's in shambles.
**[15:13] ---**
    Well, I suppose it is way outside
    the village.
**[15:18] ---**
    Which one is it?
**[15:20] ---**
    Let's see, it should be
    around here somewhere.
**[15:28] ---**
    There it is.
**[15:30] ---**
    This place gives me the creeps...
**[15:33] ---**
    If we've found what
    we were looking for,
**[15:34] ---**
    let's get out of here!
**[15:36] ---**
    Yes, let's go...
**[15:40] ---**
    to where all the secrets sleep.
**[15:51] ---**
    Huh?
**[15:56] ---**
    This place sure has changed a lot too.
**[16:02] ---**
    What's up with Sasuke?
**[16:04] ---**
    He's just like how I was before
    I wanted to destroy Leaf.
**[16:07] ---**
    How so?
**[16:09] ---**
    Even if both he and the village
    have changed,
**[16:13] ---**
    this place is still his homeland.
**[16:16] ---**
    He needs some time to reaffirm
    his decision and resolve,
**[16:19] ---**
    through immersing himself in sentimentality
    and by retracing the past.
**[16:29] ---**
    Hmm...
**[16:31] ---**
    So you're over it already?
**[16:34] ---**
    The whole immerse yourself
    in sentimentality
**[16:36] ---**
    to affirm your resolve
    to destroy the Leaf thing.
**[16:40] ---**
    Hey, come to think of it,
**[16:42] ---**
    we were all your cream of
    the crop subordinates, right?
**[16:46] ---**
    And now...
    we're inside of the Leaf...
**[16:49] ---**
    All the strong ones are gone
    because they're away fighting.
**[16:53] ---**
    Isn't this a perfect opportunity for you?
**[16:59] ---**
    Perhaps, indeed...
**[17:01] ---**
    Except for one thing...
**[17:05] ---**
    You're no longer Hebi.
**[17:18] ---**
    Oh, you use a jutsu to remove
    the entry stone...
**[17:22] ---**
    There's not even a trace of
    the Uchiha's Nakano Shrine...
**[17:26] ---**
    The exterior doesn't matter.
    What's important is what's beneath.
**[17:29] ---**
    Let's go.
**[17:36] ---**
    Well then, I'm going to get started.
**[17:41] ---**
    It's best if you stand back.
**[18:00] ---**
    In order to perform
    what is written in the scroll,
**[18:03] ---**
    first, the Death God's Mask
    is necessary.
**[18:07] ---**
    That is located in
    the Uzumaki Clan's Noh Mask Hall
**[18:10] ---**
    on the outskirts of the Leaf Village.
**[18:12] ---**
    Then one must allow the Death God
    of the Reaper Death Seal
**[18:15] ---**
    to possess oneself and
    guide it forth.
**[18:18] ---**
    Slice open the Death God's abdomen
    and the seal will come undone.
**[18:23] ---**
    Though I shall then end up
    a human sacrifice.
**[18:30] ---**
    However, it will also allow me
    to get back
**[18:33] ---**
    both of my arms from inside
    the Death God's belly.
**[18:39] ---**
    *They're mine again!*
**[18:41] ---**
    And if I can regain the power
    that lies in those arms,
**[18:44] ---**
    I can perform the Reanimation.
**[18:47] ---**
    That's right...
**[18:48] ---**
    I can revive those four.
**[18:51] ---**
    Of course in that case,
**[18:53] ---**
    you're well aware of what will
    then become necessary...
**[18:56] ---**
    You're planning on using us as sacrifices
    for the Reanimation, aren't you?!
**[19:02] ---**
    That's not such a bad idea,
**[19:03] ---**
    but we've actually got something
    even better than you guys.
**[19:06] ---**
    Though it's still invisible
    to you yet.
**[19:11] ---**
    Jugo, Sasuke, Suigetsu...
    Get ready!
**[19:15] ---**
    Got it.
**[19:17] ---**
    Jugo, bestow upon Sasuke some
    of your Curse Mark Sage Power.
**[19:29] ---**
    And when you do, the Zetsu that
    Tobi stuck onto Sasuke to watch him
**[19:33] ---**
    should respond and
    rise to the surface.
**[19:37] ---**
    Damn it! How did you--?!
**[19:39] ---**
    I know your Hashirama cells inside
    and out from my experiments.
**[19:45] ---**
    Including how to detect you,
    of course.
**[19:49] ---**
    Six of you, huh? Tobi sure
    wasn't taking any chances!
**[19:56] ---**
    When I reclaimed and
    reabsorbed my chakra from Kabuto,
**[19:59] ---**
    all his intel was transferred
    inside me.
**[20:03] ---**
    And he'd thoroughly
    investigated the six Zetsu
**[20:05] ---**
    that had been attached to Sasuke.
**[20:09] ---**
    I possess those four's DNA as well,
**[20:12] ---**
    since I love collecting and
    storing knowledge too.
**[20:17] ---**
    Suigetsu, Jugo...
    Take care of the remaining two.
**[20:21] ---**
    Okay, Lord Orochimaru!
**[20:28] ---**
    Reanimation Jutsu!
**[20:39] ---**
    Now, here I come!
**[20:48] ---**
    They, who are all-knowing...
**[20:59] ---**
    The previous Hokage!
**[22:38] ---**
    That's the First Hokage?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    The real Hashirama who's been
    touted as a God of Shinobi?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    No way...
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    You solved how to undo
    that Sealing Jutsu?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Lord First, it appears we've been
    recalled into the world of the living.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Hm? Who the hell are you?
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Oh, uh... The Fourth Hokage, sir!
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The All-Knowing"
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Oh! The Fourth, eh?!
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE ALL-KNOWING
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The All-Knowing*
    
    
**[01:34] ---**
    That's the First Hokage?
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    The real Hashirama who's been
    touted as a God of Shinobi?
**[01:44] ---**
    Don't tell me it's that
    shinobi Orochimaru again!
**[01:47] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[01:49] ---**
    I suspect he undid
    the Reaper Deal
**[01:54] ---**
    that has been keeping us
    sealed away.
**[01:57] ---**
    And then performed
    the Reanimation Jutsu.
**[02:00] ---**
    No way...
**[02:01] ---**
    You found out how to undo
    that Sealing Jutsu?
**[02:04] ---**
    How did you do
    that Mr. Orochimaru?
**[02:06] ---**
    You underestimate me, Minato.
**[02:10] ---**
    Originally a Sealing Jutsu
    of the Uzumaki Clan...
**[02:13] ---**
    I've been researching the ruins
    and scattered documents
**[02:18] ---**
    of the now extinct clan
    ever since I lost my jutsu.
**[02:23] ---**
    Lord First...
**[02:25] ---**
    It appears we've been recalled
    into the world of the living.
**[02:31] ---**
    Who the hell are you?!
**[02:35] ---**
    Oh, uh...
**[02:38] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage, sir.
**[02:40] ---**
    Oh? The Fourth Hokage,
    you say?
**[02:43] ---**
    I see!
**[02:46] ---**
    So the village has
    remained stable!
**[02:48] ---**
    Well, I'm not actually sure
    if it has or not.
**[02:53] ---**
    Because I died and was sealed away
    much earlier than Lord Third.
**[02:58] ---**
    Huh? Is that so...
**[03:01] ---**
    In a separate incident than when
    I was sealed away with Sarutobi?
**[03:04] ---**
    Yes...
    a completely separate incident.
**[03:07] ---**
    So who's the Fifth Hokage?
**[03:08] ---**
    Your granddaughter,
    Princess Tsunade.
**[03:14] ---**
    Tsuna, huh?
**[03:16] ---**
    Is the village okay?
**[03:19] ---**
    Is there something to be
    worried about?
**[03:21] ---**
    She was my first grandchild,
    so I spoiled her rotten!
**[03:24] ---**
    In the end, she even picked up
    my gambling habit...
**[03:33] ---**
    *He's not what I expected*
**[03:34] ---**
    *of someone considered to be*
    *the God of Shinobi!*
**[03:38] ---**
    *How do I put it?*
**[03:42] ---**
    The Reanimation Jutsu again...
**[03:45] ---**
    I can't believe the jutsu I devised
    would be used so casually.
**[03:48] ---**
    It's not a complex jutsu.
**[03:53] ---**
    However, you should not have
    created it in the first place.
**[03:57] ---**
    Lord Second...
**[03:58] ---**
    Many of your policies and jutsu
    that you developed
**[04:01] ---**
    ended up causing problems
    later on down the line.
**[04:05] ---**
    Even now...
**[04:06] ---**
    Why you!
**[04:07] ---**
    Are you planning on attacking
    the Leaf again?!
**[04:11] ---**
    I took away your jutsu
    in exchange for my own life.
**[04:17] ---**
    Yet you still--!
**[04:19] ---**
    And this time you revived me,
    your former master,
**[04:23] ---**
    to pit me against the Leaf!
**[04:26] ---**
    Conflict, no matter what the era.
**[04:29] ---**
    It certainly cannot be called
    that great a jutsu.
**[04:32] ---**
    Tobirama, that's why I told you
    that time to...
**[04:35] ---**
    Will you be quiet, big brother?
**[04:37] ---**
    I am trying to talk to
    this stripling right now.
**[04:39] ---**
    But I...
**[04:41] ---**
    Shut up!
**[04:45] ---**
    *So not dignified for*
    *the God of Shinobi!*
**[04:48] ---**
    Please do not misunderstand.
**[04:50] ---**
    I don't have any more leanings
    in that direction.
**[04:55] ---**
    Haven't you noticed that I'm not
    suppressing your personalities?
**[04:58] ---**
    There are certain circumstances
    at play this time.
**[05:01] ---**
    I'm merely creating a stage for
    discourse per his strong desire.
**[05:07] ---**
    I'm Sasuke Uchiha and I want to
    ask you Hokage some things.
**[05:12] ---**
    Is that you Sasuke?
**[05:14] ---**
    You belong to the Uchiha?
**[05:17] ---**
    Of course you'd stick with
    a scoundrel.
**[05:18] ---**
    Tobirama! I told you to stop
    saying such things!
**[05:22] ---**
    You're too soft, big brother!
**[05:23] ---**
    Never mind me.
**[05:26] ---**
    Lord Third...
**[05:27] ---**
    Why did you make Itachi
    do what he did?
**[05:29] ---**
    So, you've learned of
    what happened.
**[05:35] ---**
    I...killed Itachi to avenge
    the Uchiha Clan.
**[05:42] ---**
    Afterwards, I learned the truth
    from Tobi and Danzo.
**[05:46] ---**
    And I leaned towards swearing
    vengeance against the Leaf.
**[05:52] ---**
    However, I want to hear it
    straight from your mouth.
**[05:55] ---**
    Everything regarding Itachi.
**[05:59] ---**
    So it came to that...
**[06:07] ---**
    Not only did I have him
    kill his brethren...
**[06:09] ---**
    I also had him bear
    the false charge of traitor...
**[06:12] ---**
    and keep tabs on the Akatsuki
    all by himself.
**[06:17] ---**
    From the time he was
    a small child,
**[06:19] ---**
    Itachi paid attention
    to the teachings and signs
**[06:21] ---**
    of our predecessors that
    no one else gave heed to.
**[06:23] ---**
    He was a sensitive child
**[06:25] ---**
    who understood our village's past
    and our shinobi.
**[06:30] ---**
    And perhaps due to that,
**[06:31] ---**
    the trappings of a clan
    never bound Itachi.
**[06:35] ---**
    He was able to think ahead
    about the future
**[06:37] ---**
    of shinobi and of the village.
**[06:39] ---**
    And constantly had misgivings
    regarding those futures.
**[06:43] ---**
    Even at the age of seven,
    he thought like a Hokage.
**[06:49] ---**
    We left everything to Itachi
    in his hands alone...
**[06:52] ---**
    and he executed
    his missions perfectly.
**[06:56] ---**
    He killed his entire clan
    and stopped a revolt.
**[06:59] ---**
    Prevented a coming war
    all by himself.
**[07:02] ---**
    He even infiltrated the Akatsuki as
    a spy to protect the village.
**[07:08] ---**
    On the condition that I protect you
    within the village.
**[07:14] ---**
    So it's all true.
**[07:17] ---**
    This is part of
    the Uchiha's cursed fate.
**[07:22] ---**
    I can't believe they're on
    the brink of extinction.
**[07:26] ---**
    So they even plotted a coup...
**[07:29] ---**
    I'd envisioned that it might come
    to something like that.
**[07:33] ---**
    The rebellious elements bearing
    Madara's will had been smoldering.
**[07:37] ---**
    But you're the one who drove
    the Uchiha to it, Lord Second...
**[07:41] ---**
    It could be said that
    the seeds got sown
**[07:43] ---**
    with the Uchiha Police Force
    that you created.
**[07:46] ---**
    What did you say?
**[07:48] ---**
    Those who crack down on crime
    tend to be easily disliked.
**[07:53] ---**
    The more authority
    such a group has,
**[07:54] ---**
    the more conceited it can get.
**[07:58] ---**
    By building the Police Station
    next to the prison
**[08:00] ---**
    under the pretext of facilitating
    the monitoring of criminals,
**[08:03] ---**
    you conspicuously shoved
    the Uchiha Clan
**[08:05] ---**
    to the margins of the village.
**[08:09] ---**
    That's what fostered
    the adherents to Madara.
**[08:15] ---**
    Tobirama!
**[08:16] ---**
    Did I not emphasize to you
    over and over again
**[08:19] ---**
    not to slight the Uchiha?
**[08:20] ---**
    But I gave them positions that
    they were eminently qualified for.
**[08:23] ---**
    And I believed that even if
    another Madara were to emerge,
**[08:25] ---**
    he could be dealt with right away.
**[08:28] ---**
    As you well know, older brother,
    the Uchiha are...
**[08:34] ---**
    ...a clan possessed by evil!
**[08:39] ---**
    It's like Madara left
    a psychological scar upon you.
**[08:42] ---**
    To cause such fear of the Uchiha.
**[08:45] ---**
    You stripling.
    You do not know Madara.
**[08:49] ---**
    Second Hokage,
    a question for you...
**[08:53] ---**
    What is it about the Uchiha Clan?
    What do you know?
**[09:03] ---**
    The Senju and Uchiha Clans
**[09:06] ---**
    share a long history
    of battling each other.
**[09:10] ---**
    We were once bitter enemies.
**[09:14] ---**
    I know that already...
**[09:16] ---**
    What did you mean about
    the Uchiha being possessed by evil?
**[09:22] ---**
    There used to be a thought that
    in contrast to the Senju Clan,
**[09:25] ---**
    who based their strength in love
    as opposed to jutsu...
**[09:27] ---**
    The basis of
    the Uchiha Clan's strength
**[09:30] ---**
    was the power of their jutsu.
**[09:32] ---**
    However, the truth
    is actually different.
**[09:36] ---**
    There is no clan that feels
    deeper love than the Uchiha.
**[09:40] ---**
    And that is why the Uchiha have
    suppressed and sealed it away.
**[09:44] ---**
    What do you mean?!
**[09:46] ---**
    Once a member of the Uchiha
    knows love, it's almost as if
**[09:49] ---**
    all of his or her previously
    checked emotions are released.
**[09:53] ---**
    They awaken
    a profound love and power
**[09:55] ---**
    that exceeds even the Senju's.
**[09:57] ---**
    But why is that a problem?
**[09:59] ---**
    It should help things go smoothly
    with the Senju too...
**[10:02] ---**
    This super-strong
    power of love, right?
**[10:05] ---**
    Except it is quite problematic.
**[10:08] ---**
    This great power hides within it
**[10:10] ---**
    the possibility of
    going out of control.
**[10:14] ---**
    When an Uchiha who has known
    love loses that deep love,
**[10:16] ---**
    it is replaced by an even
    stronger hate that changes them.
**[10:23] ---**
    I've seen it happen
    quite a few times.
**[10:26] ---**
    And that's when
    a special condition emerges.
**[10:30] ---**
    Condition?
**[10:32] ---**
    When an Uchiha writhes
    in agony over the loss
**[10:35] ---**
    of a great love or disappointment
    in themselves,
**[10:38] ---**
    a unique chakra is released
    inside their brain and
**[10:41] ---**
    reacts with the optic nerves and
    changes appear that person's eyes.
**[10:45] ---**
    The eyes that reflect the heart.
**[10:47] ---**
    This is what we call the Sharingan.
**[10:51] ---**
    The Sharingan taps into
    the power of that person's heart,
**[10:54] ---**
    rapidly increasing their strength,
    along with the power of their hate.
**[11:00] ---**
    There were many sensitive
    individuals among the Uchiha,
**[11:04] ---**
    and nearly all who were
    exposed to strong emotions
**[11:06] ---**
    were taken over by darkness
    and fell to evil.
**[11:09] ---**
    The deeper the darkness gets
**[11:11] ---**
    the greater
    the Visual Prowess becomes,
**[11:12] ---**
    until the person can
    no longer be stopped.
**[11:14] ---**
    Just like Madara.
**[11:17] ---**
    Madara cared deeply
    for his younger brother...
**[11:20] ---**
    His love was, perhaps, greater
    than your brother's love for you.
**[11:23] ---**
    I thought I had arranged
    and guided things as such
**[11:26] ---**
    that the Uchiha's power could
    be harnessed to serve the village.
**[11:29] ---**
    Although if they self-destructed
    for the sake of the village,
**[11:33] ---**
    then so be it.
**[11:35] ---**
    Either way, in the end, they were
    of use to the Leaf Village.
**[11:38] ---**
    Tobirama! Stop talking like that!
**[11:41] ---**
    You are speaking to
    an innocent Uchiha child!
**[11:44] ---**
    What is all-important
    is the village.
**[11:46] ---**
    The village is the keystone.
**[11:48] ---**
    I know that you know
    that too older brother.
**[11:50] ---**
    It doesn't bother me.
**[11:52] ---**
    I am neither innocent nor a child.
**[11:57] ---**
    *It's not the standard pattern...*
**[11:59] ---**
    *It's the Mangekyo Sharingan...*
**[12:03] ---**
    First Hokage... I ask you this...
**[12:06] ---**
    What does it mean to be a village?
**[12:09] ---**
    And what does it mean
    to be a shinobi?
**[12:16] ---**
    What is a village,
    and what are shinobi?
**[12:20] ---**
    My older brother Itachi, despite
    having been used by the Leaf,
**[12:24] ---**
    defended the village with his life.
**[12:26] ---**
    He died a proud Leaf Shinobi.
**[12:31] ---**
    So what exactly is this village,
**[12:33] ---**
    that one strives to protect even
    if it means killing one's kin?
**[12:35] ---**
    Even if it means their own death?
**[12:38] ---**
    And what are shinobi who've
    created such circumstances
**[12:41] ---**
    and consider them acceptable?
**[12:45] ---**
    I'll listen to your response
    and find out the truth,
**[12:49] ---**
    and then I'll make my decision...
**[12:53] ---**
    Whether or not to declare
    vengeance against the Leaf.
**[12:56] ---**
    Or...
**[13:03] ---**
    *Orochimaru...*
**[13:05] ---**
    *What is it?*
**[13:06] ---**
    *You once tried to*
    *destroy the Leaf...*
**[13:09] ---**
    *At first, when you said you*
    *did it on a whim, I believed you.*
**[13:13] ---**
    *But now, I know it was*
    *something different.*
**[13:15] ---**
    *What was the real reason?*
**[13:20] ---**
    Vengeance against the Hidden Leaf?
**[13:23] ---**
    You brat possessed
    with the Uchiha evil!
**[13:26] ---**
    In that case I shall...
**[13:31] ---**
    Lord Second!
**[13:34] ---**
    Tobirama!
**[13:40] ---**
    *Now we're talking presence!*
**[13:47] ---**
    Lower your finger.
**[13:51] ---**
    All right...
**[13:52] ---**
    Don't get your chakra
    so riled up, brother.
**[13:58] ---**
    Sorry about that!
**[14:03] ---**
    Wow, that's incredible!
**[14:05] ---**
    *You haven't changed a bit,*
    *Lord Hashirama...*
**[14:14] ---**
    Well then, Sasuke,
    you had a good older brother.
**[14:18] ---**
    He was a greater shinobi
    than I ever was!
**[14:20] ---**
    I don't mind telling you more
    about the village,
**[14:22] ---**
    but it will take a while.
**[14:24] ---**
    If possible, could you
    please tell the child
**[14:25] ---**
    everything he wants
    to know quickly?
**[14:28] ---**
    We don't have much time.
**[14:31] ---**
    No time?
**[14:33] ---**
    We're in the middle of a war.
**[14:34] ---**
    Madara Uchiha has been revived
**[14:36] ---**
    and apparently intends to erase
    all the shinobi of this world.
**[14:43] ---**
    Always conflict,
    no matter what the era.
**[14:50] ---**
    I definitely feel
    some powerful chakra
**[14:53] ---**
    in the direction of 2 o'clock.
**[14:56] ---**
    *This is Naruto and*
    *Nine Tails' chakra.*
**[14:59] ---**
    *I see*
**[15:01] ---**
    *So you did it, Naruto!*
**[15:02] ---**
    *And you're fighting together...*
    *even now!*
**[15:08] ---**
    It seems to be true.
**[15:10] ---**
    I'm definitely sensing
    Madara's chakra.
**[15:12] ---**
    Then we ought to head
    to the battlefield.
**[15:15] ---**
    As all of you are under the control
    of my Reanimation Jutsu,
**[15:19] ---**
    your movements can be restricted.
**[15:22] ---**
    If you insist,
**[15:23] ---**
    you may head to the battlefield
    after we finish talking.
**[15:25] ---**
    Talk later!
**[15:27] ---**
    Do you truly understand
**[15:29] ---**
    the gravity of Madara
    having been revived?
**[15:32] ---**
    I'm sticking with this child.
**[15:35] ---**
    If Sasuke isn't satisfied
    with your explanation,
**[15:37] ---**
    I may use all of you to destroy
    the Leaf now.
**[15:43] ---**
    The timing couldn't be better.
**[15:51] ---**
    This jutsu--!
**[15:53] ---**
    Orochimaru, was it?
**[15:54] ---**
    You seem to be
    misunderstanding something.
**[15:58] ---**
    The fact that you've upped
    the precision of the Reanimation
**[16:01] ---**
    since the last time shall
    be your downfall.
**[16:04] ---**
    Now that we've been revived
    at close to our original power...
**[16:07] ---**
    I am not someone who can be bound
**[16:10] ---**
    by the Reanimation of
    one such as you.
**[16:15] ---**
    Do not forget,
**[16:16] ---**
    I am the one who devised
    this jutsu in the first place.
**[16:18] ---**
    Older brother, you must agree
    that we have no choice.
**[16:21] ---**
    I will take action!
**[16:26] ---**
    Sarutobi, you sure raised
    quite a shinobi.
**[16:30] ---**
    It is an honor to be praised
    by the God of Shinobi himself.
**[16:38] ---**
    He's acquired my cells and
    enhanced his power to bind us!
**[16:41] ---**
    Tobirama...
    Your instincts have dulled a bit.
**[16:44] ---**
    *Damn him...*
**[16:46] ---**
    *Taking a closer look,*
**[16:48] ---**
    *most of his body is composed*
    *of my older brother's cells...*
**[16:51] ---**
    Now then...
**[16:53] ---**
    *First Hokage Hashirama...*
**[16:55] ---**
    *He's different.*
**[16:57] ---**
    *He could undo my binding*
    *at any time...*
**[17:02] ---**
    *I have to be careful not*
    *to let down my guard.*
**[17:04] ---**
    Orochimaru... Do not fret.
**[17:07] ---**
    My priority is to undo
    the ill feelings
**[17:09] ---**
    that are binding this child.
**[17:11] ---**
    I don't know what he will decide
    after he is done listening to me...
**[17:16] ---**
    But if we ignore him now,
**[17:18] ---**
    he will definitely become
    the next Madara.
**[17:22] ---**
    If that happens, ending the war
    and winning will be meaningless.
**[17:30] ---**
    Do as you please, older brother.
**[17:32] ---**
    Now then...
**[17:34] ---**
    Where should I start?
**[17:38] ---**
    Yes...
**[17:42] ---**
    In order to talk to you
    about village and shinobi...
**[17:48] ---**
    *Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!*
**[17:51] ---**
    I must first speak of
    the Uchiha and Senju Clans...
**[17:59] ---**
    *Wood Style!*
**[18:02] ---**
    *Wood Golem Jutsu!*
**[18:35] ---**
    *The Wood Style Wood*
    *Expulsion Jutsu, was it?*
**[18:37] ---**
    *Perfect for taking on*
    *difficult beasts...*
**[18:42] ---**
    *He clad his Susano'o around*
    *the Tailed Beast like armor!*
**[18:47] ---**
    *Madara, you crafty fox!*
**[18:52] ---**
    *I can read your sword swings!*
**[18:55] ---**
    *Wood Style:*
    *Laughing Buddha Jutsu!*
**[19:10] ---**
    *At this rate, this land*
    *will be completely obliterated.*
**[19:12] ---**
    *It's best to move this*
    *to the seashore!*
**[19:17] ---**
    *You're not getting away!*
**[19:27] ---**
    *There, try grabbing that!*
**[19:30] ---**
    *What will you do now?!*
**[19:31] ---**
    *Summoning...*
**[19:33] ---**
    *Five-Layer Rashomon!*
**[19:38] ---**
    *This...*
**[19:39] ---**
    *will change the trajectory!*
**[19:46] ---**
    *All the way to the other shore?*
**[19:56] ---**
    *Hashirama...*
**[19:58] ---**
    *It's been a while since we've*
    *fought each other earnestly!*
**[20:02] ---**
    *You can see that I have changed!*
**[20:06] ---**
    *You're going to*
    *lay everything to waste?*
**[20:08] ---**
    *To all we've accomplished up*
    *until now, Madara?*
**[20:12] ---**
    *Nothing will come of us*
    *battling each other...*
**[20:15] ---**
    *This fight will only hurt*
    *the village and shinobi!*
**[20:19] ---**
    *This is an insult towards*
    *our siblings and our friends!*
**[20:24] ---**
    *You know nothing of my--!*
**[20:26] ---**
    *I don't want to kill you!*
**[20:29] ---**
    *Are you implying that*
    *you could kill me at any time?*
**[20:32] ---**
    *No! I'm saying we're friends!*
**[20:35] ---**
    *I've already...reached it!*
**[20:41] ---**
    *Then so be it...*
**[20:44] ---**
    *Sage Art:*
**[20:47] ---**
    *Wood Style:*
**[20:48] ---**
    *Veritable 1000-Armed Kan'on*
**[20:52] ---**
    *Here I go, Madara!*
**[20:54] ---**
    *Bring it, Hashirama!*
**[22:37] ---**
    Aim it a little higher
    than you'd expect, and then...
    
    
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I know that!
    
    
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    It will reach the other side
    if I put my all into it!
    
    
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Besides who are you anyway?
    
    
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    First name's Hashirama.
    I can't tell you my last name.
    
    
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Hashirama, huh?
    
    
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    That was...
    
    
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hashirama and Madara"
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    ...the first time I encountered
    Madara Uchiha.
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    HASHIRAMA AND MADARA
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:21] ---**
    This time, I'll reach
    the other side for sure.
**[00:31] ---**
    Just aim it a little higher
    than you'd expect.
**[00:33] ---**
    That's the trick.
**[00:36] ---**
    I don't need you to tell me that.
**[00:38] ---**
    It will reach the other side
    if I put my all into it!
**[00:40] ---**
    Who the hell are you anyway?
**[00:43] ---**
    Right now, I'm just your rival
    at stone skipping.
**[00:48] ---**
    Though mine has already
    reached the other side.
**[00:51] ---**
    *That was the first time*
    *I encountered Madara Uchiha.*
**[02:27] ---**
    *Hashirama and Madara*
    
    
    
**[02:31] ---**
    I asked you who you are!
**[02:34] ---**
    It's Hashirama.
**[02:35] ---**
    I can't tell you my last name
    due to reasons...
**[02:38] ---**
    Hashirama, eh?
**[02:40] ---**
    Well, just watch.
    I'm gonna make it this time.
**[02:46] ---**
    *The way he throws…*
**[02:47] ---**
    *I'm sure…*
    *It's the shuriken jutsu!*
**[02:57] ---**
    Hey! You stood behind me
    on purpose to distract me!
**[03:02] ---**
    I'm the type that can't even pee
    when someone's standing behind me!
**[03:11] ---**
    S-Sorry!
**[03:14] ---**
    Hey… Don't take it so seriously…
**[03:19] ---**
    Sorry, I was just making excuses…
**[03:21] ---**
    I…I didn't know…
**[03:25] ---**
    That you had such an obnoxious
    self-diagnosed neurosis...
**[03:29] ---**
    I can't tell if you're a nice guy
    or a nasty guy!
**[03:33] ---**
    One thing for sure! I'm better
    than you at stone skipping!
**[03:36] ---**
    Want me to skip you instead?
**[03:40] ---**
    S-Sorry… I didn't mean to upset you.
**[03:44] ---**
    To make amends,
    I'll let you throw me into the river.
**[03:49] ---**
    Go ahead, throw me.
**[03:50] ---**
    Do you even notice
    your own obnoxious neurosis?
**[03:54] ---**
    I just...hope I reach
    the opposite shore...
**[03:58] ---**
    You're a real eyesore!
    Get lost!
**[04:02] ---**
    Well then...
**[04:03] ---**
    Wait a second!
**[04:05] ---**
    Which is it?
    Why don't you be more clear?
**[04:08] ---**
    Th-That's…
**[04:15] ---**
    That's…!
**[04:22] ---**
    Are you…a shinobi?
**[04:27] ---**
    This location will become
    a battlefield soon. Go home.
**[04:32] ---**
    *This is a Hagoromo Clan crest…*
**[04:35] ---**
    Sorry, but I've got to go…
**[04:39] ---**
    So long…
**[04:41] ---**
    Uh…
**[04:42] ---**
    It's Madara.
**[04:45] ---**
    Madara…
**[04:46] ---**
    Not proffering one's family name
    to a stranger...
**[04:50] ---**
    is shinobi law.
**[04:53] ---**
    I knew it…
**[04:55] ---**
    You're a shinobi too.
**[05:01] ---**
    *Our personalities differed,*
**[05:03] ---**
    *and yet I sensed*
    *a mysterious kinship with him.*
**[05:07] ---**
    *I felt I knew why he'd come down*
    *to the river too.*
**[05:32] ---**
    Kawarama...
**[05:34] ---**
    Shinobi do not cry!
**[05:36] ---**
    Shinobi are born into this world
    to fight and die in battle.
**[05:40] ---**
    Be grateful that we have
    even a piece of his corpse!
**[05:45] ---**
    For our enemy this time includes
**[05:47] ---**
    the Uchiha Clan
    in addition to the Hagoromo Clan!
**[05:51] ---**
    They are particularly merciless!
**[05:55] ---**
    Kawarama was just seven years old!
**[05:57] ---**
    How long…will this kind
    of fighting continue?!
**[06:01] ---**
    Until the very last foe
    has been vanquished.
**[06:04] ---**
    The path to a battle-free world
    is not easily made!
**[06:09] ---**
    And children must be sacrificed?
**[06:16] ---**
    I will not allow Kawarama
    to be disrespected!
**[06:19] ---**
    He fought and died as
    a full-fledged shinobi!
**[06:23] ---**
    He was not a child!
**[06:32] ---**
    Older brother Hashirama, are you okay?
**[06:35] ---**
    You know what happens
    when we defy Father.
**[06:42] ---**
    *I…don't want…*
**[06:44] ---**
    *either of you, Itama or Tobirama…*
**[06:48] ---**
    *to die in vain!*
**[06:53] ---**
    The Senju, the clan of love? As if!
**[06:56] ---**
    A full-fledged shinobi, my butt!
**[06:57] ---**
    All of this is just grown-ups
    driving kids to their deaths!
**[07:02] ---**
    We're doing exactly
    the same thing as the Uchiha!
**[07:06] ---**
    That's how we honor our opponents.
**[07:09] ---**
    Even an infant wielding a weapon
    is deemed an enemy.
**[07:13] ---**
    And to raise one's child to become
    full-fledged is a parent's love!
**[07:18] ---**
    So in order to become full-fledged,
    you have to die?!
**[07:22] ---**
    We kill and are killed so much,
**[07:24] ---**
    you can't even keep track
    of all the grudges!
**[07:26] ---**
    And it's too risky to even divulge
    our family names!
**[07:29] ---**
    There's something totally wrong
    about a ninja world like this!
**[07:33] ---**
    Children like you are called brats!
**[07:36] ---**
    Father…
**[07:37] ---**
    Older Brother's feeling depressed today…
**[07:40] ---**
    So please forgive him.
**[07:49] ---**
    Hashirama, go and cool your head.
**[07:58] ---**
    Grown-ups are stupid.
**[08:01] ---**
    If they want to stop the fighting,
    they should make a pact…
**[08:06] ---**
    But…what about avenging
    our parents and brothers…
**[08:09] ---**
    and all our friends who were killed?
**[08:11] ---**
    Keeping saying stuff like that
    and you'll end up dead too.
**[08:15] ---**
    You and the adults are both hotheaded.
**[08:17] ---**
    Sorry…
**[08:19] ---**
    Forthcoming shinobi must suppress
    their emotions,
**[08:21] ---**
    create suitable rules that
    they then follow
**[08:24] ---**
    and avoid extraneous conflict.
**[08:30] ---**
    Can't a true pact...
**[08:33] ---**
    an alliance be achieved?
**[08:39] ---**
    What's a true pact?
**[08:46] ---**
    *During the Era of Warring States,*
**[08:48] ---**
    *the average life expectance*
    *of both shinobi and citizens*
**[08:51] ---**
    *was around 30 years old.*
**[09:00] ---**
    *And the reason*
    *the average was so low was...*
**[09:18] ---**
    Itama!
**[09:19] ---**
    *The deaths of many young children.*
**[09:23] ---**
    Itama!
**[09:52] ---**
    Hey, long time no see!
**[09:55] ---**
    Umm…
**[09:57] ---**
    It's Hashirama.
**[09:59] ---**
    So, Hashirama…
    You seem awfully down.
**[10:03] ---**
    What happened?
**[10:05] ---**
    What's with you!
**[10:07] ---**
    I'm fine!
**[10:08] ---**
    Liar… You can talk to me, you know.
**[10:13] ---**
    It's nothing…
**[10:14] ---**
    Come on, tell me.
**[10:16] ---**
    I said it's nothing.
**[10:19] ---**
    Hey, stop dragging this out!
    I promise I'll listen!
**[10:23] ---**
    It's really nothing…
**[10:25] ---**
    Nothing at all.
**[10:26] ---**
    Out with it!
**[10:31] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[10:36] ---**
    My little brother…died.
**[10:42] ---**
    I come to the river
**[10:44] ---**
    because I feel like
    all the haziness in my heart
**[10:48] ---**
    gets washed away as
    I stare at the water.
**[10:52] ---**
    So that's what happened...
**[10:55] ---**
    Your name's Madara, right…?
**[10:57] ---**
    I wonder if you're like me…
**[11:03] ---**
    Do you have siblings?
**[11:05] ---**
    I'm one of five.
**[11:08] ---**
    Well, there used to be five of us.
**[11:23] ---**
    Used to?
**[11:24] ---**
    We're shinobi.
**[11:26] ---**
    We never know when
    we're going to die.
**[11:29] ---**
    If there were a way where
    neither side had to die...
**[11:32] ---**
    It would be where both sides
    revealed their insides,
**[11:34] ---**
    and hid nothing from each other...
**[11:36] ---**
    And poured each other drinks
    and drank together like brothers.
**[11:40] ---**
    But that's impossible...
**[11:43] ---**
    Because one can't look deep
    into another's insides down to their guts.
**[11:50] ---**
    In reality, they could be as mad as hell.
**[11:56] ---**
    Isn't it possible…
**[11:57] ---**
    to really show how you feel
    without showing your guts?
**[12:01] ---**
    I don't know…
**[12:02] ---**
    But every time I come here,
**[12:04] ---**
    I pray for some way
    to make it happen.
**[12:12] ---**
    I finally got it to go
    in the right direction.
**[12:17] ---**
    You're not the only one…
**[12:19] ---**
    Me too…
**[12:21] ---**
    It reached.
**[12:26] ---**
    *In all honesty, I was shocked…*
**[12:28] ---**
    *That one person understood*
    *how I felt*
**[12:31] ---**
    *despite all the people*
    *that didn't.*
**[12:34] ---**
    *So there was another foolish kid,*
    *who thought as I did,*
**[12:39] ---**
    *to try to change this war-torn era.*
**[12:42] ---**
    *Maybe shocked isn't the right word…*
**[12:46] ---**
    *To me, Madara was a gift*
    *from the divine.*
**[12:50] ---**
    In your case…I can tell without
    looking into your insides that...
**[12:54] ---**
    What?
**[12:56] ---**
    That your hairdo and outfit
    are totally lame!
**[13:03] ---**
    *Not that we thought alike*
    *in every respect...*
**[13:08] ---**
    *After that, we started*
    *meeting up every now and then,*
**[13:11] ---**
    *still without knowing*
    *each other's family names...*
**[13:14] ---**
    *We'd spar and*
    *compare our shinobi moves*
**[13:18] ---**
    *or talk about the future…*
**[13:22] ---**
    Taijutsu and kumite.
**[13:24] ---**
    Nice job pulling a draw against me!
**[13:28] ---**
    It's not a draw...
**[13:30] ---**
    I'm still standing.
**[13:32] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:33] ---**
    Ouch!
**[13:37] ---**
    What were you saying?
    How's this not a draw?
**[13:41] ---**
    When did you…?
**[13:44] ---**
    I threw it the instant
    you blew me away.
**[13:47] ---**
    I'm not gonna be
    beaten that easily.
**[13:54] ---**
    But the question is,
**[13:55] ---**
    how do we change
    things concretely?
**[13:58] ---**
    We've got to have
    a vision for the future.
**[14:01] ---**
    The first steps are for us to
    not give up on our ideals
**[14:03] ---**
    and to get a lot stronger.
**[14:06] ---**
    Weak pups barking
    won't change a thing.
**[14:09] ---**
    Right. If we master all sorts
    of jutsu and get stronger,
**[14:14] ---**
    the adults won't be able
    to ignore our words anymore.
**[14:19] ---**
    We gotta master many jutsu
    and cover any weaknesses.
**[14:25] ---**
    Well… I am stronger than most adults
    around me already.
**[14:30] ---**
    No kidding? I'm impressed.
**[14:43] ---**
    You really can't, eh…?
**[14:45] ---**
    Stop standing behind me!
**[14:47] ---**
    I found your weakness…
**[14:49] ---**
    I'm gonna throw you into
    the exact spot I pissed in!
**[14:53] ---**
    Take this! It's my Water Style!
**[14:56] ---**
    Disgusting! Don't whip it around!
**[14:59] ---**
    *Each time we met,*
    *we became closer friends.*
**[15:09] ---**
    Madara…
**[15:10] ---**
    I came up with an amazing jutsu!
**[15:12] ---**
    Let's master it together!
**[15:15] ---**
    Really? Show me.
**[15:17] ---**
    A Secret Taijutsu Technique,
**[15:19] ---**
    a Super Fire Style Genjutsu Slice
    Giant Shuriken Two-Step Drop Jutsu!
**[15:22] ---**
    Nope… I can't visualize it at all.
**[15:25] ---**
    I mean, which is it?
    Taijutsu or genjutsu?
**[15:29] ---**
    In the first place,
    the name is too long!
**[15:32] ---**
    Who can remember such
    a long name?
**[15:34] ---**
    Well, let me explain it...
**[15:36] ---**
    Never mind!
**[15:37] ---**
    Today, I'm challenging you
    to cliff climbing!
**[15:42] ---**
    Quit getting depressed
    all the time!
**[15:44] ---**
    That's your weakness.
**[15:47] ---**
    And your weakness is
    to judge too quickly…
**[15:51] ---**
    I'm just psyching you out…
    before cliff climbing!
**[15:56] ---**
    Huh? Hey you!
**[15:58] ---**
    See you later!
**[15:59] ---**
    You were just pretending, huh?!
**[16:06] ---**
    I win…
**[16:07] ---**
    That's to be expected…
    You started before me!
**[16:20] ---**
    What a sweeping view of the forest!
**[16:23] ---**
    Yeah, you can see really far!
**[16:26] ---**
    I know my eyesight's just
    as good as yours.
**[16:29] ---**
    Want to challenge me?
**[16:30] ---**
    What makes you say
    that all of a sudden?
**[16:32] ---**
    You sound really proud
    of your eyes.
**[16:34] ---**
    Well sure! I have Sha…
**[16:42] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[16:43] ---**
    No…never mind.
    I guess it's not all that.
**[16:47] ---**
    What is it? You're being awful
    candid for once.
**[16:52] ---**
    If I were better,
    my siblings wouldn't be dead.
**[16:55] ---**
    I couldn't even protect them.
**[16:58] ---**
    So I shouldn't...shouldn't...
**[17:03] ---**
    Madara…
**[17:12] ---**
    Sorry…
**[17:14] ---**
    I brought back some memories
    for you too, huh.
**[17:19] ---**
    So…you don't have
    any more siblings?
**[17:22] ---**
    No… I have
    one younger brother left.
**[17:28] ---**
    And I'll protect him,
    no matter what!
**[17:34] ---**
    What about you?
**[17:36] ---**
    I have one brother left too.
**[17:38] ---**
    And I intend to protect him too,
    no matter what.
**[17:43] ---**
    I've decided!
    Let's build our settlement here!
**[17:47] ---**
    Huh?
**[17:49] ---**
    And make it so kids won't
    have to kill each other!
**[17:53] ---**
    We'll create a school where kids
    can train and grow up stronger!
**[17:58] ---**
    Assign missions that fit
**[17:59] ---**
    an individual's abilities
    and strengths!
**[18:02] ---**
    Have superiors who can properly
    assign ranks to commissions!
**[18:06] ---**
    It will be a place where kids
**[18:08] ---**
    don't have to be sent
    into harsh battlefronts.
**[18:11] ---**
    You're pretty much
    the only one spouting nonsense.
**[18:15] ---**
    Well then, what about you?
**[18:18] ---**
    It doesn't sound bad at all.
**[18:20] ---**
    Then it's decided!
**[18:21] ---**
    Yeah… If that settlement
    gets built here,
**[18:24] ---**
    then I could watch over
    my little brother,
**[18:26] ---**
    and protect him in this place
    where you can see to no end!
**[18:35] ---**
    *That was where the Leaf Village*
    *would eventually stand.*
**[18:41] ---**
    *I made a resolution that day.*
**[18:44] ---**
    *To endure for*
    *the sake of my vision.*
**[18:53] ---**
    We both made it.
**[18:55] ---**
    That stone…
    is perfect for rock skipping.
**[18:59] ---**
    Hang on to it until
    we meet next time!
**[19:18] ---**
    What is it, Tobirama?
**[19:20] ---**
    Older Brother… Come with me.
**[19:30] ---**
    Hashirama, this boy you've been
    meeting up with...
**[19:35] ---**
    How did you…?
**[19:36] ---**
    Father ordered me to tail you…
**[19:40] ---**
    You?
**[19:41] ---**
    I have better sensory skills
    than you.
**[19:45] ---**
    You've been going out
    quite often lately,
**[19:48] ---**
    so I knew something was up.
**[19:52] ---**
    I checked up on that boy.
**[19:55] ---**
    He belongs to the Uchiha Clan.
**[19:59] ---**
    He has killed adults from our clan.
**[20:03] ---**
    It seems he was born
    with inherent shinobi talent.
**[20:08] ---**
    *So I was right…*
**[20:11] ---**
    Given your lack of surprise...
**[20:15] ---**
    Don't tell me
    the two of you already
**[20:17] ---**
    knew each other's clan names.
**[20:19] ---**
    No… I didn't know.
**[20:21] ---**
    He probably
    doesn't know mine either.
**[20:23] ---**
    Hashirama.
**[20:24] ---**
    Do you know what this means?
**[20:30] ---**
    The Senju and Uchiha Clans
    are bitter enemies.
**[20:34] ---**
    I haven't told anyone
    in our clan yet…
**[20:37] ---**
    If we're not careful,
    you could be branded a traitor.
**[20:43] ---**
    If you don't want to be accused
    of being an enemy spy…
**[20:46] ---**
    after you see that boy next time,
    follow him.
**[20:50] ---**
    And bring back intel
    about the Uchiha Clan.
**[20:53] ---**
    This is a mission.
**[20:55] ---**
    If he should notice you...
**[20:59] ---**
    kill him!
**[21:00] ---**
    
**[22:37] ---**
    Maybe it just isn't possible for us
    to reach that pipe dream of ours.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Madara...you...
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    It may have been brief,
    but it was fun.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Our next meeting will likely be
    on the battlefield.
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Era of Warring States"
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    I truly wish it wasn't so...
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    THE ERA OF WARRING STATES
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Era of Warring States*
    
    
    
**[01:46] ---**
    W-Wait...
**[01:47] ---**
    A-Are you sure he's an Uchiha?
**[01:50] ---**
    Yes...
**[01:52] ---**
    If he's found out that you're Senju,
**[01:54] ---**
    he'll pretend to let his guard down
    to steal intel on us.
**[01:58] ---**
    Do not trust him.
**[02:00] ---**
    No, he's not like that...
**[02:02] ---**
    You'd trust the clan who killed
    your younger brother?
**[02:07] ---**
    You have no idea what
    he's thinking inside his gut!
**[02:12] ---**
    If he tricks you, you'll be putting
    the entire Senju Clan at risk.
**[02:17] ---**
    That's not...
**[02:18] ---**
    Just in case, Tobirama and I
    will come along. Understood?
**[02:23] ---**
    Answer me!
**[02:25] ---**
    Yes.
**[03:03] ---**
    I know it's right off the bat,
**[03:05] ---**
    but how about we just skip stones
    instead of exchanging greetings?
**[03:08] ---**
    Yeah...
**[03:25] ---**
    Hashirama...
**[03:26] ---**
    Sorry. I can't stay today...
**[03:29] ---**
    I just remembered something
    I have to do.
**[03:33] ---**
    O-Oh yeah?
    I'm going to head home then.
**[03:37] ---**
    RUN
**[03:39] ---**
    TRAP, SCRAM
**[03:44] ---**
    That speed!
    He's planning to run for it!
**[03:47] ---**
    Damn Hashirama!
    He warned him!
**[03:49] ---**
    Let's go, Tobirama!
**[03:50] ---**
    Yes!
**[04:01] ---**
    Seems like we're both
    on the same page.
**[04:04] ---**
    Butsuma Senju.
**[04:05] ---**
    And Tobirama, I believe.
**[04:08] ---**
    Indeed, Tajima Uchiha.
**[04:11] ---**
    And Izuna, right?
**[04:18] ---**
    *It seemed the Uchiha coincidentally*
    *had the same idea.*
**[04:22] ---**
    *Exactly the same circumstances.*
**[04:26] ---**
    *Butsuma Senju and Tajima Uchiha*
    *both knew from numerous prior clashes*
**[04:31] ---**
    *that they possessed*
    *practically equal strength.*
**[04:39] ---**
    - Stop!
    - Stop!
**[04:43] ---**
    *Shinobi are trained to keep*
    *their hearts in check on the battlefield,*
**[04:47] ---**
    *no matter what happens.*
**[04:49] ---**
    *A single flash of emotional display*
    *can lead to vulnerability*
**[04:52] ---**
    *and mean the difference*
    *between life and death.*
**[04:55] ---**
    *However...*
**[04:57] ---**
    *The two adults were well aware...*
**[05:00] ---**
    *that if their own child were killed*
    *right before their eyes,*
**[05:02] ---**
    *it would likely, no matter how slight,*
    *unbalance their heart.*
**[05:08] ---**
    *Meaning...*
**[05:09] ---**
    *whoever could land the first strike*
    *would determine the outcome.*
**[05:16] ---**
    TRAP, SCRAM RUN
**[05:31] ---**
    I'll never forgive anyone who tries
    to hurt my little brother,
**[05:33] ---**
    no matter who they are!
**[05:35] ---**
    Same here!
**[05:41] ---**
    Hey, Hashirama...
**[05:42] ---**
    What is it?
**[05:44] ---**
    Maybe it just isn't possible for us...
**[05:48] ---**
    to reach that...
**[05:53] ---**
    pipe dream of ours...
**[05:56] ---**
    Madara... What are you...?
**[05:58] ---**
    It may have been brief,
    but it was fun...Hashirama.
**[06:04] ---**
    Three against three...
**[06:06] ---**
    Can we take them, Madara?
**[06:09] ---**
    No...
**[06:10] ---**
    Hashirama is stronger than me.
**[06:12] ---**
    If we fight, we'll lose.
**[06:14] ---**
    There's a kid stronger than you, Brother?
**[06:16] ---**
    I see, quite impressive.
**[06:20] ---**
    Let's retreat!
**[06:21] ---**
    So long.
**[06:23] ---**
    Madara!
**[06:24] ---**
    You...really haven't given up, have you?
**[06:29] ---**
    You've gotten to the same point I...
**[06:31] ---**
    You are Senju.
**[06:34] ---**
    I truly wish it wasn't so.
**[06:37] ---**
    My brothers were killed
    by the Senju.
**[06:40] ---**
    And your brothers, by the Uchiha...
**[06:47] ---**
    So there's no need to show
    our guts to each other.
**[06:52] ---**
    Our next meeting will likely be
    on the battlefield...
**[06:56] ---**
    Hashirama Senju.
**[07:00] ---**
    I'm...Madara Uchiha.
**[07:04] ---**
    Father! Look at Big Brother's eyes!
**[07:08] ---**
    We may not have obtained
    any intel on the Senju...
**[07:11] ---**
    but it seems we gained something
    valuable from this, after all.
**[07:16] ---**
    He awakened his Sharingan...just now?
**[07:23] ---**
    *In that moment,*
**[07:24] ---**
    *I felt like I understood what awakening*
    *the Sharingan truly signified.*
**[07:36] ---**
    *He decided to completely*
    *erase his friend.*
**[07:39] ---**
    *To erase me from his life.*
**[07:45] ---**
    *After that, we battled.*
    *We fought each other day after day.*
**[07:50] ---**
    *And before we knew it,*
**[07:51] ---**
    *we'd each become*
    *our respective clan's leaders.*
**[08:03] ---**
    *We were at the furthest place possible...*
**[08:06] ---**
    *from the dream that*
    *we wanted to fulfill.*
**[08:41] ---**
    *Fire Style!*
**[08:42] ---**
    *Fire Ball Jutsu!*
**[08:44] ---**
    *Water Style!*
    *Water Dragon Missile!*
**[09:01] ---**
    *A blind attack...*
**[09:03] ---**
    *I curse the misfortune of the ones*
    *who do not have the Sharingan.*
**[09:08] ---**
    *Flying Raijin Slice!*
**[09:15] ---**
    Izuna!
**[09:19] ---**
    Hang in there!
**[09:20] ---**
    I swear I'll save you!
**[09:34] ---**
    Hashirama...
**[09:37] ---**
    Madara... You cannot defeat me.
**[09:42] ---**
    *But I had never abandoned our dream.*
**[09:50] ---**
    Why don't we end this?
**[09:54] ---**
    If the two strongest shinobi clans,
    the Uchiha and Senju, join forces,
**[09:57] ---**
    nations will not be able to find
**[09:59] ---**
    other shinobi clans that
    can stand against us...
**[10:02] ---**
    The conflict will eventually
    start to die down.
**[10:06] ---**
    Come on.
**[10:25] ---**
    No... Big Brother...
**[10:27] ---**
    Izuna!
**[10:30] ---**
    Do not be deceived by them...
**[10:33] ---**
    Izuna!
**[10:34] ---**
    Have you forgotten that
    these bastards killed everyone...
**[10:38] ---**
    killed the Uchiha?
**[11:18] ---**
    *It was clear to all that the Uchiha Clan*
    *was in an unfavorable position.*
**[11:24] ---**
    *In fact, defectors to the Senju*
    *soon began showing up.*
**[11:36] ---**
    *And that's about when*
    *Madara changed as well.*
**[11:46] ---**
    *He had obtained*
    *the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.*
**[12:01] ---**
    Those eyes...
**[12:03] ---**
    What happened to Izuna?
**[12:05] ---**
    My little brother ended up dying
    from that day's wounds...
**[12:09] ---**
    Leaving me powers that
    will help protect the Uchiha!
**[12:13] ---**
    I sent you a cease-fire agreement!
**[12:16] ---**
    If you truly want to protect the Uchiha,
    let's stop fighting!
**[12:26] ---**
    Hashirama!
**[12:35] ---**
    Wood Style, Deep Forest Bloom!
**[13:11] ---**
    Poison Pollen eh?
**[13:14] ---**
    Enough, Madara!
**[13:16] ---**
    Fighting is meaningless!
**[13:19] ---**
    Meaningless?
**[13:21] ---**
    Then why did Izuna die?
**[13:25] ---**
    It's because....
    because you bastards killed him!
**[13:55] ---**
    Wood Golem Jutsu!
**[14:20] ---**
    Hashirama!
**[15:31] ---**
    Madara, we were friends!
**[15:35] ---**
    And we shared the same dream!
**[15:41] ---**
    Hashirama!
**[15:43] ---**
    How long will you keep saying
    such juvenile things?
**[15:57] ---**
    It's just not possible to show
    our guts to each other!
**[16:01] ---**
    Don't you get it?
**[16:08] ---**
    Hashirama!
**[16:09] ---**
    Madara!
**[16:27] ---**
    *At the end of a battle*
    *that lasted a whole day...*
**[16:30] ---**
    *Madara's back touched*
    *the ground for the very first time.*
**[16:46] ---**
    Madara...
**[16:48] ---**
    You're finished.
**[16:49] ---**
    Wait, Tobirama.
**[16:55] ---**
    Why, Elder Brother?!
**[16:57] ---**
    This is our chance!
**[16:59] ---**
    No one touches him!
**[17:04] ---**
    Just get it over with, Hashirama.
**[17:09] ---**
    It would be an honor to die
    by your hand.
**[17:13] ---**
    Stop posturing.
**[17:15] ---**
    If I kill the clan leader of the Uchiha,
**[17:17] ---**
    it will only incite the young ones
    who follow you.
**[17:20] ---**
    There isn't anyone left with such pluck
    among the Uchiha anymore.
**[17:25] ---**
    Sure there are.
**[17:27] ---**
    Perhaps not right now, but in time.
**[17:31] ---**
    Come on...
    Why don't we end this war?
**[17:35] ---**
    We made a promise, remember?
**[17:38] ---**
    To create the ideal village someday.
**[17:42] ---**
    Can't we go back to those days...
    and skip rocks together?
**[17:48] ---**
    That's just impossible.
**[17:51] ---**
    You and I are no longer the same.
**[17:55] ---**
    *Let's build our settlement here!*
**[17:57] ---**
    *Heh... You're pretty much the only one*
    *spouting such nonsense.*
**[18:02] ---**
    *Well then, what about you?*
**[18:04] ---**
    *Yeah... If that settlement gets built here,*
**[18:07] ---**
    *then I could watch over*
    *my little brother,*
**[18:09] ---**
    *and protect him in this place*
    *where you can see to no end!*
**[18:14] ---**
    I don't have a single brother left.
**[18:18] ---**
    I have nothing to protect.
**[18:21] ---**
    And...I just can't trust you.
**[18:26] ---**
    Is there any way I can
    convince you to trust us?
**[18:34] ---**
    Well, there is a way to
    show each other our guts...
**[18:38] ---**
    Either kill your brother...
**[18:41] ---**
    or kill yourself right now.
**[18:44] ---**
    And then we'll be even.
    I'd be willing to trust your clan.
**[18:49] ---**
    Kill your little brother or kill yourself?
**[18:53] ---**
    How dare you say
    something so ridicu-
**[18:55] ---**
    I agree.
**[18:57] ---**
    This is crazy!
**[18:59] ---**
    So what are you going
    to do, Elder Brother?
**[19:01] ---**
    Are you going to kill me now?
**[19:03] ---**
    Or are you going to die on account
    of this guy's nonsense?
**[19:06] ---**
    It's idiotic. Don't listen to him!
**[19:14] ---**
    Thank you, Madara.
**[19:16] ---**
    You really are kindhearted.
**[19:20] ---**
    *Madara had given me a choice,*
**[19:23] ---**
    *an option where I wouldn't have*
    *to kill my little brother.*
**[19:27] ---**
    *He knew all too well...*
**[19:28] ---**
    *how an older brother feels*
    *towards his younger siblings.*
**[19:33] ---**
    Listen, Tobirama...
**[19:34] ---**
    Etch these words into your heart,
    for these are my final words...
**[19:38] ---**
    Brother...
**[19:40] ---**
    Words that I shall be exchanging
    with my life.
**[19:43] ---**
    You too, my fellow clan members.
**[19:46] ---**
    After my death, do not kill Madara.
**[19:49] ---**
    I forbid any fighting between
    the Uchiha and Senju.
**[19:53] ---**
    Swear this right now...
**[19:54] ---**
    upon the lives of your fathers,
    and your grandchildren yet unborn.
**[20:01] ---**
    Farewell...
**[20:34] ---**
    Enough...
**[20:35] ---**
    I have now seen your guts.
**[20:42] ---**
    *It was like a dream...*
**[20:44] ---**
    *The Uchiha and the Senju*
    *formed an alliance.*
**[20:47] ---**
    *There would no longer*
    *be any casualties,*
**[20:50] ---**
    *nor would any more children*
    *have to die.*
**[20:55] ---**
    *And so, we began building our village.*
**[22:37] ---**
    Do you remember how we used
    to talk here when we were brats?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Yeah... I thought we were just talking
    about our dream.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    That dream is now becoming a reality.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    There's no time to be weak right now!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    We're going to need to come up
    with a name for the village too!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Any thoughts?
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "My True Dream"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    How about
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves?

**[00:30] ---**
    *and the creation of*

**[03:15] ---**
    SHINOBI ACADEMY
**[03:56] ---**
    Do you remember how we used
    to talk here when we were kids?
**[04:00] ---**
    Yeah...
**[04:03] ---**
    *Let's build our settlement here!*
**[04:05] ---**
    *Huh?*
**[04:06] ---**
    *And make it so kids won't have*
    *to kill each other!*
**[04:10] ---**
    *We'll create a school where*
    *kids can train and grow up stronger!*
**[04:15] ---**
    *Assign missions that fit*
    *an individual's abilities and strengths!*
**[04:19] ---**
    *Have superiors who can properly*
    *assign ranks to commissions!*
**[04:24] ---**
    *It will be a place*
**[04:25] ---**
    *where kids don't have to be sent*
    *into harsh battlefronts.*
**[04:29] ---**
    *You're pretty much the only one*
    *spouting such nonsense.*
**[04:32] ---**
    *Well then, what about you?*
**[04:35] ---**
    *It doesn't sound bad at all.*
**[04:37] ---**
    *Then it's decided!*
**[04:38] ---**
    *Yeah... If that settlement*
    *gets built here,*
**[04:41] ---**
    *then I could watch over*
    *my little brother,*
**[04:43] ---**
    *and protect him in this place*
    *where you can see to no end!*
**[04:59] ---**
    I thought we were just talking
    about our dream.
**[05:03] ---**
    They say where there's a will,
    there's a way...
**[05:06] ---**
    And yet, I...
**[05:08] ---**
    That dream is now becoming reality.
**[05:10] ---**
    The leader of shinobi who protects
    the Land of Fire from the shadows.
**[05:13] ---**
    The Fire Shadow, or Hokage. Well?
**[05:16] ---**
    What's that supposed to be?
**[05:17] ---**
    The Land of Fire requests that
    we select someone
**[05:19] ---**
    who will represent the Village.
**[05:22] ---**
    I'm considering naming you
    to be our leader... the Hokage.
**[05:27] ---**
    You no longer have any siblings left...
**[05:29] ---**
    But I'd like you to think of
    all of the village shinobi as your siblings.
**[05:34] ---**
    I want you to protect them
    with all your might.
**[05:40] ---**
    Even though I couldn't protect
    my own Uchiha brethren?
**[05:51] ---**
    *Kawarama...*
**[05:54] ---**
    *Itama!*
**[05:56] ---**
    *Itama!*
**[06:12] ---**
    *W-What happened?*
**[06:17] ---**
    *My little brother...died.*
**[06:23] ---**
    *I come to the river*
    *because I feel like*
**[06:27] ---**
    *all the haziness in my heart gets*
    *washed away as I stare at the water.*
**[06:33] ---**
    *So that's what happened...*
**[06:36] ---**
    *Your name's Madara, right?*
**[06:38] ---**
    *I wonder if you're like me...*
**[06:44] ---**
    *Do you have siblings?*
**[06:46] ---**
    *I'm one of five.*
**[06:49] ---**
    *Well, there used to be five of us.*
**[07:02] ---**
    *So...you don't have*
    *any more siblings?*
**[07:05] ---**
    *No... I have one younger brother left.*
**[07:11] ---**
    *And I'll protect him,*
    *no matter what!*
**[07:17] ---**
    *What about you?*
**[07:19] ---**
    *I have one brother left too.*
**[07:21] ---**
    *And I intend to protect him too,*
    *no matter what.*
**[07:29] ---**
    *Flying Raijin Slice!*
**[07:35] ---**
    *Izuna!*
**[07:46] ---**
    There's no time to
    get weak right now!
**[07:50] ---**
    In addition to the Uchiha and Senju,
**[07:52] ---**
    it seems the Sarutobi and
    the Shimura Clans also want to join.
**[07:58] ---**
    Are you kidding? Are you serious?!
**[08:01] ---**
    And there are many others!
**[08:02] ---**
    This village is going to
    keep on expanding!
**[08:05] ---**
    We're going to need to come up
    with a name for the village too...
**[08:09] ---**
    Any thoughts?
**[08:21] ---**
    How about...
**[08:22] ---**
    The Village...Hidden in the Leaves?
**[08:27] ---**
    It's too simple...
    It's not imaginative.
**[08:30] ---**
    You called it exactly as you saw it.
**[08:31] ---**
    How's it different from "Hokage"?!
**[08:33] ---**
    And you still have that habit
    of getting depressed easily!
**[08:38] ---**
    *It took a long time, but it felt like*
**[08:40] ---**
    *we were back to being*
    *the friends we once were.*
**[08:45] ---**
    So you're saying
    the role of the Hokage
**[08:47] ---**
    is to stay in the village
    and protect everyone?
**[08:51] ---**
    There's that...
**[08:53] ---**
    But he'll be even more significant.
**[08:55] ---**
    As village-building picks up speed,
    the Hokage will get busier too.
**[09:01] ---**
    That's why I want to
    have your likeness
**[09:03] ---**
    carved into this cliff at our feet.
**[09:07] ---**
    As a symbol of
    our village's protector!
**[09:12] ---**
    You've got to be kidding!
**[09:14] ---**
    Although...your face is a bit too stern...
**[09:15] ---**
    so it will have to be softened
    here and there.
**[09:18] ---**
    Well, it beats that sad mug of yours!
**[09:22] ---**
    Is it that sad?
**[09:26] ---**
    Yeah... It's beyond sad.
**[09:30] ---**
    Is that so?
**[09:33] ---**
    There you are!
**[09:35] ---**
    What are you dawdling here for?
**[09:38] ---**
    The Feudal Lords from the Land of Fire
    will be here soon for the conference!
**[09:41] ---**
    It's Tobirama...
**[09:54] ---**
    For Hokage?!
**[09:56] ---**
    That's not your choice!
**[09:58] ---**
    To propose Madara as
    a candidate for leader is fine...
**[10:02] ---**
    But the final decision will be made
    with the top officials,
**[10:05] ---**
    after consulting with the Land of Fire
    and the people of the village!
**[10:07] ---**
    Things are different from Father's era!
**[10:10] ---**
    But...
**[10:11] ---**
    Besides, Madara Uchiha being chosen
    as the leader won't happen.
**[10:15] ---**
    Everyone knows...
**[10:17] ---**
    You are the one who founded
    this settlement, Big Brother.
**[10:21] ---**
    Even those from
    the Uchiha say as much.
**[10:24] ---**
    Furthermore, haven't you heard
    the rumors about them?
**[10:29] ---**
    The stronger their hate,
**[10:31] ---**
    the stronger their Visual Prowess
    manifests itself.
**[10:34] ---**
    The Sharingan is such a power.
**[10:36] ---**
    They're unpredictable.
**[10:39] ---**
    For the future of the village...
**[10:41] ---**
    Stop talking like that, Tobirama!
**[10:59] ---**
    I just felt someone's presence.
**[11:02] ---**
    Tobirama, you would know.
**[11:05] ---**
    No... I'm not infusing chakra right now.
**[11:08] ---**
    Don't change the subject, Big Brother!
**[11:19] ---**
    From now on,
    things will be run democratically.
**[11:22] ---**
    Any objections?
**[11:24] ---**
    No... That's fine.
**[11:31] ---**
    *And so...*
    *I became the First Hokage.*
**[12:01] ---**
    I became the First Hokage...
**[12:12] ---**
    From the Era of Warring States...
**[12:13] ---**
    where shinobi clans fought
    and killed each other...
**[12:18] ---**
    the Uchiha and Senju joined together
    to create the ideal shinobi village...
**[12:23] ---**
    A shinobi village born
    from the hope for peace...
**[12:26] ---**
    That is the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
**[12:30] ---**
    And I became its First Hokage.
**[12:39] ---**
    This is the stone tablet that has been
    passed down the Uchiha for generations.
**[12:42] ---**
    It's never been shown
    to an outsider before.
**[12:45] ---**
    The special text requires
    Visual Prowess to decipher.
**[12:51] ---**
    This is what I'm able
    to decipher so far...
**[12:55] ---**
    "One god seeking stability
    split into light and shadow.
**[12:59] ---**
    "And it is these opposites together
    that give rise
**[13:01] ---**
    "to all things in this universe."
**[13:05] ---**
    This is a universal truth.
**[13:08] ---**
    In short, it states that
    true happiness can be found
**[13:12] ---**
    when two contrary powers
    cooperate together.
**[13:16] ---**
    However, it could be
    interpreted differently.
**[13:23] ---**
    Hashirama...
**[13:24] ---**
    Do you think I don't know
    what's going on?
**[13:27] ---**
    Leave Tobirama to me.
    I can't do this without you.
**[13:32] ---**
    Help me as the Hokage's right hand...
    and as a brother!
**[13:37] ---**
    The people will eventually
    recognize your merits!
**[13:40] ---**
    And then,
    I'll name you Second Hokage.
**[13:42] ---**
    After you, I suspect Tobirama
    will probably become the Hokage.
**[13:47] ---**
    When he does, the Uchiha
    will be eventually eliminated.
**[13:50] ---**
    Knowing this,
**[13:51] ---**
    I've reached out to other Uchiha
    about leaving the village.
**[13:55] ---**
    But it seems no one is willing
    to follow me.
**[13:59] ---**
    Madara...
**[14:01] ---**
    I couldn't protect
    my younger brother...
**[14:04] ---**
    And it seems I won't be able
    to keep the promise I made him...
**[14:07] ---**
    that I would protect the clan.
**[14:09] ---**
    I'm not even trusted
    by the clan I want to protect.
**[14:13] ---**
    That's not true!
**[14:14] ---**
    Everyone is...
**[14:15] ---**
    Perhaps that time, the ultimatum
    I should have given you was
**[14:18] ---**
    "to kill your younger brother."
**[14:21] ---**
    You call me your brother.
**[14:23] ---**
    But which of us would you kill
    for the sake of the village?
**[14:32] ---**
    I'd like to think that
    I know you pretty well.
**[14:35] ---**
    I've had enough.
**[14:38] ---**
    I'm going to leave the village.
**[14:41] ---**
    I've found a different path to take.
**[14:44] ---**
    It became clear to me because
    we showed each other our guts...
**[14:47] ---**
    Cooperation is merely
    a quiet form of conflict.
**[14:51] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[14:53] ---**
    I won't let it be like that.
**[14:55] ---**
    Hashirama, it's what
    you make of reality.
**[14:58] ---**
    Let's stop being slaves to it.
**[15:01] ---**
    It's healthier to view this world
    as merely a sideshow...
**[15:05] ---**
    Have you been listening
    to me, Madara?!
**[15:08] ---**
    You are the only one
    who's an even match for me.
**[15:13] ---**
    I'm looking forward
    to the battles we'll fight...
**[15:17] ---**
    up until the time
    I achieve my true dream.
**[15:28] ---**
    What is your true dream?
**[15:30] ---**
    I thought everything we've aimed for
    is here in this village!
**[15:34] ---**
    You just can't see it...
**[15:37] ---**
    What's beyond this...
    The dreams of the far future.
**[15:46] ---**
    Then tell me about your dreams
    of the far future.
**[15:50] ---**
    If it's connected to
    this village's dreams,
**[15:52] ---**
    I need your strength as a leader,
    as a senior member.
**[15:57] ---**
    And...as a friend.
**[16:03] ---**
    There is no connection.
**[16:05] ---**
    And you'll never reach it.
**[16:08] ---**
    Chasing after me is useless.
**[16:11] ---**
    You, of all people, should know.
**[16:13] ---**
    No one is capable of
    catching me from behind.
**[16:20] ---**
    *Upon saying those words,*
    *Madara left the village.*
**[16:40] ---**
    *We had come this far together.*
**[16:43] ---**
    *And now, Madara was gone from*
    *the village we had created together.*
**[16:50] ---**
    *But in the world,*
**[16:51] ---**
    *everyone respected and copied*
    *our village system of Allied Ninja Clans*
**[16:56] ---**
    *which had been created*
**[16:58] ---**
    *by the former warring rivals,*
    *the Uchiha and Senju, joining forces.*
**[17:04] ---**
    *Villages like the Village Hidden*
    *in the Leaves*
**[17:06] ---**
    *which began in the Land of Fire,*
    *and its one leader system,*
**[17:09] ---**
    LAND OF FIRE
    
    
    *spread like wildfire across*
    *the Great Nations.*
**[17:13] ---**
    *In the Land of Lightning,*
**[17:14] ---**
    LAND OF LIGHTNING
    
    *Hidden Cloud Village was formed*
    *with its leader named Raikage.*
**[17:19] ---**
    *In the Land of Earth,*
**[17:20] ---**
    LAND OF EARTH
    
    *Hidden Stone Village was formed*
    *with its leader named Tsuchikage.*
**[17:23] ---**
    LAND OF WATER
    
    *The Land of Water had the Hidden Mist*
    *with their Mizukage.*
**[17:29] ---**
    *And in the Land of Wind,*
**[17:31] ---**
    LAND OF WIND
    
    *the Hidden Sand was formed and*
    *they named their leader, Kazekage.*
**[17:36] ---**
    *Not only the Great Nations,*
**[17:37] ---**
    *but even the smaller nations*
    *adopted this system.*
**[17:41] ---**
    *Madara's and my dream had come true.*
**[17:48] ---**
    *Shinobi children learned*
    *and played instead of battling.*
**[17:55] ---**
    *And they started living long enough*
    *to even know the taste of alcohol.*
**[18:01] ---**
    *But, as if he wanted to destroy*
    *his previous dream...*
**[18:05] ---**
    *Madara came back to*
    *attack the Leaf Village.*
**[18:09] ---**
    Will you destroy everything that
    we've accomplished until now, Madara?
**[18:14] ---**
    Nothing will come of us
    battling each other.
**[18:17] ---**
    This fight will only...
    hurt the village and shinobi!
**[18:21] ---**
    It is disrespect toward
    our siblings and our comrades!
**[18:26] ---**
    You know nothing...
**[18:29] ---**
    I don't want to kill you!
**[18:31] ---**
    Are you implying that
    you could kill me at any moment?
**[18:34] ---**
    No! I'm saying we are friends...
**[18:37] ---**
    I've already...reached it!
**[18:44] ---**
    Then so be it!
**[18:46] ---**
    Sage Art!
**[18:48] ---**
    *Wood Style...*
**[18:49] ---**
    *Shinsu Senju*
    *Veritable 1000-Armed Kan'on!*
**[18:54] ---**
    Here I come, Madara!
**[18:56] ---**
    Come, Hashirama!
**[19:01] ---**
    Chojo Kebutsu!
    Artifacts of the Buddha!
**[19:51] ---**
    He stripped off the Susano'o!
**[20:15] ---**
    Here I come!
**[20:22] ---**
    10th Edict on Enlightenment!
**[20:56] ---**
    Madara!
**[20:57] ---**
    Hashirama!
**[22:38] ---**
    I am the shinobi who created
    these circumstances.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    And I believe that shinobi are those
    who endure for a purpose.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Those who endure...
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Now, Sasuke... What will you do?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Will you crush the village? Or...?

**[01:30] ---**
    *Sasuke's Answer*
    
    
**[01:56] ---**
    This time...
**[01:58] ---**
    you're not going to
    reach the other side!
**[02:24] ---**
    I'm the one still standing.
**[02:27] ---**
    Opposite from the last time.
**[02:30] ---**
    I just want to protect...
**[02:33] ---**
    the dream I finally realized.
**[02:34] ---**
    I don't want anymore...
**[02:39] ---**
    You look pretty depressed, Hashirama.
**[02:43] ---**
    Can't perk back up this time, eh?
**[02:53] ---**
    *Can't we show each other*
    *our guts?*
**[02:57] ---**
    *The first steps are for us to*
    *not give up on our ideals*
**[03:00] ---**
    *and to get a lot stronger.*
**[03:03] ---**
    *Let's build our settlement here!*
**[03:09] ---**
    *They say where there's a will,*
    *there's a way...*
**[03:12] ---**
    *And yet, I...*
**[03:14] ---**
    *That dream is now becoming reality.*
**[03:40] ---**
    A Wood Style Clone...
**[03:44] ---**
    I can't believe my back was taken...
**[03:47] ---**
    I will protect our...no, my village.
**[03:53] ---**
    No matter what.
**[03:55] ---**
    I still believe to this day
    that protecting the village
**[03:58] ---**
    will lead to the protection of
    the people, shinobi, and children!
**[04:04] ---**
    I will not forgive anyone
    who threatens the village.
**[04:10] ---**
    Be they a friend...sibling...
    or even my own child...
**[04:17] ---**
    You've changed...Hashirama.
**[04:21] ---**
    *I made up my mind right then...*
**[04:24] ---**
    *to endure in order to watch*
    *over the present.*
**[04:30] ---**
    You've got your priorities backwards.
**[04:32] ---**
    Ultimately... It shall someday
    lead the village to darkness.
**[04:55] ---**
    *And thus...my battle with Madara*
    *came to an end.*
**[05:00] ---**
    I don't know how Madara
    returned to life now.
**[05:04] ---**
    I definitely killed my friend...
**[05:07] ---**
    For the sake of the village.
**[05:14] ---**
    That's right...
**[05:15] ---**
    The village...
**[05:17] ---**
    that Madara and I first envisioned...
**[05:22] ---**
    is something that joined
    one clan to another.
**[05:25] ---**
    It was an invaluable cornerstone
    that created order out of chaos,
**[05:27] ---**
    then maintained it.
**[05:31] ---**
    It protected the children and
    averted pointless conflict.
**[05:35] ---**
    It made peace a reality.
**[05:38] ---**
    However...it gave rise to despair,
**[05:40] ---**
    the kind that your brother Itachi
    was forced to bear.
**[05:46] ---**
    Perhaps what Madara said
    was correct, after all.
**[05:49] ---**
    Perhaps he foresaw
    this state of affairs.
**[05:53] ---**
    I am the shinobi who created
    these circumstances.
**[05:56] ---**
    Furthermore, I am also the one
    who considered them acceptable.
**[06:02] ---**
    I believe that shinobi are those
    who endure for a purpose.
**[06:06] ---**
    But depending on what that purpose is,
    a shinobi can change.
**[06:10] ---**
    Just as Madara...and I did.
**[06:17] ---**
    Shinobi...
**[06:19] ---**
    Shinobi are those who endure...
**[06:23] ---**
    in order to achieve their goals.
**[06:26] ---**
    For me, it was building a village.
**[06:29] ---**
    But it seems Madara
    found something else.
**[06:33] ---**
    This plan of Madara's that
    Orochimaru mentioned earlier...
**[06:36] ---**
    To erase all the shinobi in this world...
**[06:38] ---**
    I don't know what
    that means in literal terms, but...
**[06:43] ---**
    It's the Infinite Tsukuyomi
**[06:45] ---**
    where village, shinobi,
    and citizen are all irrelevant.
**[06:49] ---**
    He intends to put everyone
    under genjutsu
**[06:51] ---**
    and manipulate them as he sees fit.
**[06:54] ---**
    To negate everything that
    my older brother, Madara's younger brother...
**[06:58] ---**
    and all of you...
**[07:03] ---**
    have tried to protect.
**[07:15] ---**
    My older brother inherited your will
    without even talking to you.
**[07:27] ---**
    My older brother...
**[07:28] ---**
    *Itachi... You also serve as*
    *the Uchiha Clan's pipeline*
**[07:32] ---**
    *to the Village nerve center.*
**[07:35] ---**
    *You know that, don't you?*
**[07:41] ---**
    Even as he shouldered that
    heavy responsibility for the clan...
**[07:45] ---**
    *We cannot allow such a thing!*
**[07:48] ---**
    *If they are going to start a revolution*
    *and usurp our power,*
**[07:53] ---**
    *we have no choice but to judge*
    *the Uchiha as traitors of the Leaf!*
**[07:57] ---**
    *Wait, Koharu.*
**[07:59] ---**
    *Don't rush to such a decision.*
**[08:01] ---**
    *But Hiruzen, the Uchiha Clan*
    *will not be dissuaded.*
**[08:06] ---**
    *We must take measures*
    *to avoid mayhem.*
**[08:14] ---**
    *And that includes innocent children.*
**[08:17] ---**
    *Do not say such things*
    *before Itachi!*
**[08:20] ---**
    *Besides, taking on the Uchiha*
    *will be no easy task.*
**[08:25] ---**
    *There's got be some sort of*
    *strategy we can use!*
**[08:28] ---**
    *We have no time to waste.*
**[08:31] ---**
    *We must strike preemptively,*
    *before they have a chance to act.*
**[08:35] ---**
    *If we join forces with our respective*
    *ANBU Black Ops*
**[08:39] ---**
    *and launch a surprise attack*
    *from behind,*
**[08:41] ---**
    *it will be over in no time.*
**[08:43] ---**
    *The Uchiha are old comrades*
    *in arms.*
**[08:47] ---**
    *I want to settle this with*
    *words first before force.*
**[08:51] ---**
    *I will come up with a strategy.*
**[08:54] ---**
    *Itachi...*
**[08:56] ---**
    *Buy me some time,*
    *however little it may be.*
**[09:01] ---**
    He stood between the village
    and the clan in their strife...
**[09:07] ---**
    *I see... So you've aligned*
    *with the other side?*
**[09:13] ---**
    *Father, Mother...*
**[09:16] ---**
    *I...*
**[09:17] ---**
    *I know, Itachi.*
**[09:20] ---**
    *Itachi, just promise me this.*
**[09:25] ---**
    *Take care of Sasuke.*
**[09:33] ---**
    *I will.*
**[09:37] ---**
    *Do not fear.*
**[09:39] ---**
    *This is the path you have chosen.*
**[09:42] ---**
    *Compared to you,*
    *our pain will be over in an instant.*
**[09:47] ---**
    *Even if our philosophies differ,*
    *I am proud of you.*
**[09:54] ---**
    *You are truly a kind child.*
**[10:03] ---**
    He even killed his own parents...
**[10:07] ---**
    *We received intel that Itachi Uchiha*
    *of the Akatsuki is dead.*
**[10:12] ---**
    *Put a mark on his image and*
    *remove him from your Bingo Book.*
**[10:17] ---**
    *So that traitor is dead at last.*
**[10:22] ---**
    *But Captain,*
    *who was able to kill him?*
**[10:27] ---**
    *Looks like it was*
    *his younger brother, Sasuke.*
**[10:30] ---**
    *How ironic...*
**[10:31] ---**
    *His own brother killed the one*
    *who slaughtered their kin.*
**[10:34] ---**
    *Serves him right!*
**[10:35] ---**
    *After that atrocious thing he did!*
**[10:38] ---**
    *Not only that, he joined up*
    *with the Akatsuki*
**[10:40] ---**
    *and came after the Leaf Village!*
**[10:42] ---**
    *He's the most notorious villain*
    *in Hidden Leaf history!*
**[10:46] ---**
    *I wish we got our hands on him first!*
**[10:50] ---**
    He was forced to kill
    his own clan and
**[10:52] ---**
    endure the brand as
    a Rogue Ninja...
**[10:54] ---**
    Yet, he continued to keep
    an eye on the organization
**[10:56] ---**
    that wanted to harm the village.
**[11:00] ---**
    And even in death...
**[11:03] ---**
    *I'll have protected my village*
**[11:05] ---**
    *as Itachi Uchiha*
    *of the Leaf once again.*
**[11:08] ---**
    *I have no more regrets.*
**[11:11] ---**
    My older brother endured longer
    and harder than you.
**[11:15] ---**
    And died stating he was proud
    to be Leaf Shinobi.
**[11:22] ---**
    Isn't it ironic that the shinobi who
    understood you more than anyone else...
**[11:25] ---**
    was from the Uchiha Clan?
**[11:30] ---**
    Your brother was not the only one.
**[11:33] ---**
    I had a subordinate
    named Kagami Uchiha
**[11:35] ---**
    who was much like your brother.
**[11:38] ---**
    Second Hokage... I thought
    you despised the Uchiha.
**[11:42] ---**
    That's not entirely true.
**[11:44] ---**
    I treated anyone who posed
    a danger to the village,
**[11:46] ---**
    no matter what clan they belonged to,
    with extreme caution.
**[11:51] ---**
    And there's no doubt that
    the Uchiha Clan warranted my suspicions...
**[11:56] ---**
    The Uchiha just happened
    to be a clan
**[11:59] ---**
    particularly disposed
    to be considered as such.
**[12:00] ---**
    But, it is also because
    they could feel such deep love
**[12:03] ---**
    that there were quite
    a few Uchiha over the years
**[12:05] ---**
    like your brother and Kagami...
**[12:06] ---**
    who could transcend
    the boundaries of the clan
**[12:08] ---**
    and devote themselves to the village.
**[12:10] ---**
    My elder brother believed the village
**[12:12] ---**
    was something that could
    eliminate the framework of clans.
**[12:17] ---**
    Well, the reality is...
    This wasn't so simple.
**[12:21] ---**
    The idealism of
    my elder brother Hashirama...
**[12:23] ---**
    And the danger that Madara posed...
**[12:26] ---**
    Mediating between these two things,
**[12:28] ---**
    and protecting and
    strengthening the village
**[12:30] ---**
    were my duties as
    the Second Hokage.
**[12:37] ---**
    Shisui Uchiha was
    a descendant of Kagami Uchiha.
**[12:41] ---**
    He was a friend of
    your older brother Itachi.
**[12:45] ---**
    Many, including myself, embraced
    the First Hokage's Will of Fire.
**[12:51] ---**
    But perhaps, I was more naïve
    than any other shinobi.
**[12:56] ---**
    I wasn't able to continue
    the Second Hokage's task
**[12:58] ---**
    of village-building skillfully enough.
**[13:00] ---**
    Which is how I ended up burdening Danzo
    with the village's darkness.
**[13:06] ---**
    I killed Danzo in vengeance.
**[13:09] ---**
    Until the end, he spoke that
    he would protect the village,
**[13:13] ---**
    no matter how dirty the means.
**[13:16] ---**
    It seems I've failed miserably
    time after time as the Hokage.
**[13:22] ---**
    I guess I'm responsible for creating
    the situation that exists now.
**[13:28] ---**
    No... You're not to blame, Lord Third.
**[13:30] ---**
    You did everything you could
    for the sake of the village respectably.
**[13:35] ---**
    I'm the one who died during
    the Nine Tails' attack on the village!
**[13:39] ---**
    You had such high hopes for me
    as the Hokage...
**[13:43] ---**
    And I couldn't live up to them.
**[13:46] ---**
    I'll say... After he passed over me
    and picked you.
**[13:50] ---**
    Everyone was so disappointed.
**[13:53] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru...
    You sound like you're pouting.
**[13:57] ---**
    A little...since the Third Hokage
    is right here.
**[14:00] ---**
    Had I lived, perhaps I could
    have helped to foil
**[14:04] ---**
    the Uchiha's plans for
    a coup d'état much sooner...
**[14:08] ---**
    Now then... Sasuke...
**[14:12] ---**
    What will you do?
**[14:15] ---**
    Will you destroy the village?
**[14:19] ---**
    Or...
**[14:36] ---**
    *Sorry, Sasuke...*
**[14:38] ---**
    *Let's do it some other time.*
**[14:40] ---**
    *Sorry, Sasuke. Let's do it next time...*
**[14:45] ---**
    *You probably hate me, huh?*
**[14:49] ---**
    *But, we only have each other*
    *as siblings.*
**[14:53] ---**
    *I'm always going to*
    *be there for you,*
**[14:55] ---**
    *even if it's only as an obstacle*
    *for you to overcome.*
**[14:58] ---**
    *Even if you do hate me...*
**[15:01] ---**
    *That's what big brothers are for.*
**[15:07] ---**
    *You all suspect me?*
**[15:24] ---**
    *There is no value in killing you now...*
    *my foolish little brother.*
**[15:29] ---**
    *If you wish to kill me,*
    *resent me, hate me,*
**[15:33] ---**
    *and survive...in obscurity.*
**[15:43] ---**
    *I did what you said...*
**[15:46] ---**
    *I resented you and*
    *hated you...*
**[15:49] ---**
    *and I survived just so I...*
**[15:53] ---**
    *so I could kill you!*
**[16:04] ---**
    *I have no interest*
    *in someone like you...*
**[16:07] ---**
    *You're weak,*
    *because you don't have enough...*
**[16:11] ---**
    *hate.*
**[16:25] ---**
    *I always lied to you and*
    *asked you to forgive me.*
**[16:30] ---**
    *Deliberately keeping you at*
    *a distance by my own hand.*
**[16:34] ---**
    *All because I didn't want you*
    *to get caught up in any of this.*
**[16:38] ---**
    *But now, I believe...*
**[16:41] ---**
    *That perhaps you could have changed*
**[16:43] ---**
    *Father, Mother,*
    *and the rest of the Uchiha.*
**[16:51] ---**
    *If I had been open with you*
    *from the start...*
**[16:53] ---**
    *And looked you straight in the eyes*
    *and told you the truth,*
**[16:59] ---**
    *then I wouldn't have had*
    *to stand before you,*
**[17:01] ---**
    *from above, as a failure,*
    *telling you all of this.*
**[17:04] ---**
    *So this time... I want to impart*
    *this truth to you...*
**[17:11] ---**
    *You don't ever have to forgive me.*
**[17:16] ---**
    *And no matter what you do*
    *from here on out, know this...*
**[17:20] ---**
    *I will love you always.*
**[17:31] ---**
    I'm going to the battlefield!
**[17:33] ---**
    I won't let the village,
    and Itachi become nothing!
**[17:43] ---**
    It's been decided then!
**[17:44] ---**
    Tobirama!
**[17:45] ---**
    Prepare to fly us outside!
**[17:47] ---**
    Even if I wanted to use Flying Raijin,
    I'm bound right now.
**[17:51] ---**
    Orochimaru, was it?
    What will you do?
**[17:54] ---**
    You said earlier that
    you'd follow Sasuke.
**[17:58] ---**
    Of course... We will accompany him.
**[18:02] ---**
    What?!
**[18:03] ---**
    J-Jugo, what about you?
**[18:05] ---**
    I'm going too.
**[18:07] ---**
    It's my job to protect Sasuke.
**[18:10] ---**
    *Four super-strong zombies...*
**[18:12] ---**
    *Three monsters...*
**[18:14] ---**
    *If I tag along, I'm dead for sure!*
**[18:18] ---**
    *I'm making a break for it*
    *when I see a chance!*
**[18:23] ---**
    This view brings back memories!
**[18:27] ---**
    *It's now or never!*
**[18:29] ---**
    What the hell?!
**[18:30] ---**
    It's you after all, Sasuke!
**[18:34] ---**
    I sensed your chakra
    and I couldn't believe it,
**[18:36] ---**
    so I backtracked and look what I find!
**[18:39] ---**
    Karin...
**[18:41] ---**
    Oh my... So many of my best experiments
    gathered here in one place!
**[18:50] ---**
    You bastard...!
**[18:51] ---**
    I'll never forgive you!
**[18:54] ---**
    I'm sorry, Karin.
**[18:57] ---**
    You bastard! As if a simple apology
    will get you off the hook...
**[19:03] ---**
    you good for nothing...
**[19:06] ---**
    I see you still have
    a weakness for Sasuke, Karin...
**[19:10] ---**
    Listen, Lord Orochimaru!
**[19:12] ---**
    Sasuke...had the gall...
    to stab me and...
**[19:16] ---**
    What a coincidence. Me too.
**[19:19] ---**
    But I'm helping Sasuke now.
**[19:22] ---**
    This is perfect timing. You help too.
**[19:25] ---**
    What?!
**[19:28] ---**
    I guess I have no choice...
**[19:29] ---**
    Who is she?
**[19:30] ---**
    Judging from the chakra
    and that red hair...
**[19:32] ---**
    She's from the Uzumaki Clan.
**[19:34] ---**
    *One more idiot joins the pack.*
**[19:38] ---**
    *I bet Madara will be surprised.*
**[19:42] ---**
    Orochimaru...
**[19:43] ---**
    Why did you decide to help Sasuke?
**[19:47] ---**
    You were trying to destroy the village.
**[19:50] ---**
    After being inside Kabuto,
    I realized something...
**[19:54] ---**
    He imitated the way I lived and
    tried to possess everything,
**[19:58] ---**
    and failed.
**[20:00] ---**
    So now, I'm just curious about
    the different path Sasuke has chosen.
**[20:05] ---**
    Unlike Kabuto, Sasuke didn't copy me.
**[20:10] ---**
    Fellow Hokage!
**[20:12] ---**
    As we stand atop the Great Stone Faces
**[20:14] ---**
    that have watched over
    the Hidden Leaf...
**[20:15] ---**
    Let us burn this sight of
    the village into our memory!
**[20:25] ---**
    *I'm finally going to see my son.*
**[20:26] ---**
    *Naruto, I wasn't able to do*
    *anything for you as a father...*
**[20:31] ---**
    *I'll make it up to you by*
    *bringing you a huge present.*
**[20:34] ---**
    All right! It's been a while
    since my last war!
**[20:37] ---**
    I'd better be on my toes!
**[20:39] ---**
    Madara... We'll defeat you
    this time for sure!
**[20:42] ---**
    This may sound foolish,
**[20:44] ---**
    but I'm kind of looking forward
    to seeing my old friend!
**[20:48] ---**
    Just you wait, Madara!
**[20:51] ---**
    There's always conflict,
    no matter what the era.
**[20:53] ---**
    But this shall be the end of wars!
**[20:56] ---**
    Let's go!
**[22:38] ---**
    Obito, you once dreamed
    of becoming Hokage.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    I can't see you not understanding
    Naruto's feelings!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    You can still go back!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It's because I understand
    Naruto's mind...
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hole"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    ...that I want to negate everything
    that he does!
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    HOLE
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:05] ---**
    Unlike you guys...
**[00:09] ---**
    I don't want to sever
    any of my bonds...
**[00:12] ---**
    or get them cut off!
**[00:15] ---**
    We shouldn't have cut them.
**[00:25] ---**
    Disappear!
**[01:57] ---**
    *Hole*
    
    
    
**[02:02] ---**
    *Fire Style: Majestic Flower Flame!*
**[02:04] ---**
    *Fire Style: Bomb Blast Dance!*
**[02:24] ---**
    We're safe!
**[02:26] ---**
    *If we didn't have*
    *Naruto's Chakra Cloak,*
**[02:28] ---**
    *we'd be crisper than a roast pig!*
**[02:43] ---**
    The next round is coming!
**[02:54] ---**
    *Naruto's chakra has been protecting*
    *everyone this whole time.*
**[02:58] ---**
    *Naruto, are you sure*
    *you're okay to keep this going?*
**[03:07] ---**
    He's gone!
**[03:08] ---**
    Where'd he go?
**[03:10] ---**
    He disappeared... He escaped...
**[03:13] ---**
    *That's impossible. Find him!*
**[03:16] ---**
    Above you, Naruto!
**[03:24] ---**
    Naruto, you're only fighting
    defensively now,
**[03:27] ---**
    trying to protect everyone.
**[03:33] ---**
    Is there any meaning to all of this?
**[03:36] ---**
    *Are you all right, Naruto?*
**[03:37] ---**
    *It's too much for you to control*
    *the chakra that I gave you, all at once.*
**[03:41] ---**
    *You'll wear yourself out*
    *in no time.*
**[03:43] ---**
    *Also, it looks like Ten Tails*
    *is charging chakra,*
**[03:46] ---**
    *so you'd better watch out!*
**[03:51] ---**
    You're only growing weaker.
**[03:54] ---**
    I don't think you'd understand,
    since you want to be alone...
**[03:59] ---**
    But having everyone by my side
    makes me really, really happy!
**[04:06] ---**
    That alone gives me strength!
**[04:12] ---**
    Did he run away?
**[04:14] ---**
    If the pain of your comrades' deaths
    is part of your bond...
**[04:18] ---**
    then there's no need
    to protect them, right?
**[04:21] ---**
    What the hell,
    you quibbling bastard?!
**[04:24] ---**
    That's what I hate about you!
**[04:27] ---**
    That's not what I‘m talking
    about you, quibbling idiot!
**[04:30] ---**
    I'm saying I can endure any pain
    if it involves my comrades.
**[04:34] ---**
    It means I don't want
    to give them up!
**[04:37] ---**
    It might seem selfish
    of me...
**[04:42] ---**
    But it's more painful for me to not
    have any comrades in here!
**[04:50] ---**
    *Obito... What are you trying to*
    *confirm through Naruto*?
**[05:03] ---**
    *Cha!*
**[05:06] ---**
    *There's no mistake!*
**[05:09] ---**
    *This chakra is...*
**[05:13] ---**
    *Hashirama!*
**[05:20] ---**
    Dad! It's collapsing!
**[05:23] ---**
    I can't hold it back any longer!
**[05:38] ---**
    Damn it, it's repelling
    this Mountain Jutsu
**[05:41] ---**
    enhanced with Naruto's chakra!
**[05:43] ---**
    There's no other jutsu
    that can stop it, Dad!
**[05:50] ---**
    *Bad news, Naruto!*
**[05:52] ---**
    *The Ten Tails is planning to*
    *do the Cataclysm!*
**[05:55] ---**
    What the heck is that?
    Cat-a-what?
**[05:58] ---**
    *Stop wasting time!*
**[06:00] ---**
    *The land's going to*
    *be ripped apart!*
**[06:08] ---**
    It can't be controlled anymore,
**[06:10] ---**
    because you cut the link
    between Ten Tails and me.
**[06:14] ---**
    Although I guess it's about time
    I became its Jinchuriki.
**[06:39] ---**
    The real fun...
    is just beginning!
**[06:47] ---**
    *This time, I'll make*
    *the Ten Tails disappear!*
**[06:49] ---**
    Kamui!
**[06:50] ---**
    Looks like you were waiting
    for your chance.
**[06:52] ---**
    But so was I, Kakashi.
**[06:56] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[06:57] ---**
    Naruto, you take care
    of things here!
**[07:00] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[07:01] ---**
    *Here it comes! The Cataclysm!*
**[08:27] ---**
    That should have cleaned
    most of them out.
**[08:38] ---**
    *Naruto protected us again.*
**[08:42] ---**
    *Naruto...*
**[08:49] ---**
    Is that all you've got?
**[09:25] ---**
    It's disappearing!
**[09:32] ---**
    Nice try pretending to be tough, but
    it seems you've reached your limit.
**[09:35] ---**
    You've given me something
    to look forward to...
**[09:37] ---**
    but I think it's time
    you made your exit.
**[09:46] ---**
    Everyone! Let's join together
    and fight as one!
**[09:49] ---**
    - Right!
    - Right!
**[09:50] ---**
    Hinata!
**[09:52] ---**
    Time for you to recover!
**[10:01] ---**
    *You guys...*
**[10:04] ---**
    Such a futile demonstration.
**[10:10] ---**
    Lightning Blade!
**[10:21] ---**
    So there's still doubt
    in your heart.
**[10:25] ---**
    You've had several chances to
    kill me if you really wanted to.
**[10:29] ---**
    *One more blow!*
**[10:34] ---**
    It's pathetic that
    you feel compassion
**[10:36] ---**
    towards an enemy
    in the midst of fighting.
**[10:40] ---**
    Is it guilt?
**[10:43] ---**
    Are you feeling remorse
    over the fact that
**[10:45] ---**
    you couldn't protect Rin and
    keep your promise to me?
**[10:55] ---**
    Are you hoping that
    I'll have a change of heart?
**[11:00] ---**
    Obito... Let's stop this already!
**[11:04] ---**
    Your dream long ago was
    to become the Hokage...
**[11:09] ---**
    Naruto has the same dream.
**[11:13] ---**
    Naruto's words are exactly
    what you used to say in the past.
**[11:18] ---**
    *I'm going to be the Hokage!*
    *I'm Obito Uchiha!*
**[11:22] ---**
    *For my Great Stone Face,*
**[11:24] ---**
    *make sure my trademark goggles*
    *and Sharingan are nicely carved out!*
**[11:29] ---**
    *My dream is to surpass*
    *the Hokage someday!*
**[11:33] ---**
    *And...I'm going to make everyone*
    *in the village accept me!*
**[11:38] ---**
    You haven't realized it...
**[11:40] ---**
    But you've been trying to merge
    your past self with the current Naruto...
**[11:43] ---**
    Hearing the old you
    in Naruto's words.
**[11:49] ---**
    Is it because you secretly want
    to be repudiated by your old self?
**[11:55] ---**
    I can't see you not understanding
    Naruto's feelings!
**[11:59] ---**
    You can still go back...
    to the person you once were!
**[12:09] ---**
    It's because I understand
    Naruto's mind...
**[12:12] ---**
    That I want to hear it all...
**[12:14] ---**
    And negate everything
    that he does!
**[12:18] ---**
    *Obito...*
**[12:19] ---**
    By the way, let me tell you
    one more thing.
**[12:22] ---**
    This guilt you feel towards me
    is really presumptuous.
**[12:27] ---**
    If you believe that I started
    this war simply over you and Rin...
**[12:33] ---**
    To call you misdirected,
    would be an understatement!
**[12:41] ---**
    I know everything.
**[12:48] ---**
    I know that Rin deliberately ran
    into your Lightning Blade.
**[12:51] ---**
    That she chose to die.
**[12:57] ---**
    Back then, Rin had been kidnapped
    by the Hidden Mist
**[13:01] ---**
    and forced to become
    the Three Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[13:04] ---**
    You succeeded in rescuing Rin
    and got her out...
**[13:08] ---**
    But that was part of
    the Hidden Mist's plan.
**[13:13] ---**
    They even pretended
    to pursue you
**[13:15] ---**
    to get you home
    to the Leaf quicker.
**[13:18] ---**
    How did you...?
**[13:28] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:30] ---**
    You all stay here.
**[13:32] ---**
    Captain... Let's wait
    for reinforcements.
**[13:35] ---**
    We don't have time...
**[13:37] ---**
    The Hidden Mist kidnapped Rin
    in order to use her
**[13:39] ---**
    as some kind of test subject...
**[13:42] ---**
    If she's taken to
    the Blood Mist Village,
**[13:44] ---**
    we'll never get her out.
**[13:46] ---**
    But you can't go alone!
**[13:49] ---**
    I won't be alone.
**[13:50] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[13:56] ---**
    Can you pick up Rin's scent?
**[13:57] ---**
    I remember it. Leave it to me.
**[14:00] ---**
    When the reinforcements arrive,
    tell them that we went after Rin.
**[14:05] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[14:13] ---**
    *Wait for me, Rin!*
**[14:15] ---**
    *I will definitely protect you!*
**[14:34] ---**
    It's the Leaf!
**[14:35] ---**
    A Leaf shinobi!
**[14:43] ---**
    All right! We're going
    to divert the enemy!
**[14:53] ---**
    You guys wait here.
**[14:57] ---**
    This way, Kakashi.
**[15:11] ---**
    Rin!
**[15:17] ---**
    They put her under a genjutsu.
**[15:19] ---**
    Release!
**[15:24] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[15:26] ---**
    Let's get out of here!
**[15:34] ---**
    Leaf shinobi!
    They have the captive!
**[15:37] ---**
    Hurry!
**[15:40] ---**
    Don't let them get away!
**[15:52] ---**
    Go!
**[15:53] ---**
    We'll divert the enemy.
**[15:56] ---**
    Thanks, I leave it to you.
**[15:57] ---**
    Save it.
**[15:58] ---**
    If we're driven into a corner,
    we'll make a run for it too.
**[16:02] ---**
    Let's go, Rin.
**[16:04] ---**
    Kakashi...
**[16:08] ---**
    I...feel strange...
**[16:10] ---**
    We have to escape first.
**[16:12] ---**
    Scatter!
**[16:17] ---**
    I feel it...
**[16:19] ---**
    I feel like there's someone,
    something else inside me.
**[16:23] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[16:25] ---**
    I don't know.
**[16:27] ---**
    - There they are!
    - Don't let them get away!
**[16:31] ---**
    We have to get past them!
**[16:39] ---**
    The Hidden Mist tried to perform
    some kind of ritual on me.
**[16:43] ---**
    A special ritual.
**[16:45] ---**
    But I lost consciousness and...
**[16:54] ---**
    They're persistent!
**[16:55] ---**
    I can't return to the Leaf Village!
**[16:59] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[17:01] ---**
    Kakashi, you have to kill me now!
**[17:03] ---**
    What are you saying, Rin?!
**[17:05] ---**
    They're using me.
**[17:07] ---**
    If I return, Hidden Leave Village
    may be attacked!
**[17:10] ---**
    I promised Obito that
    I would protect you!
**[17:13] ---**
    I can't do such a thing!
**[17:16] ---**
    There's got to be a way
    out of this!
**[17:18] ---**
    In any case, we need
    to make it to the village!
**[17:21] ---**
    No, Kakashi...
**[17:22] ---**
    I'll stop them.
**[17:25] ---**
    Now go!
**[17:26] ---**
    I can't...
**[17:34] ---**
    Once Rin made it back
    to the Leaf,
**[17:36] ---**
    the Hidden Mist intended to make
    the Three Tails rampage
**[17:40] ---**
    and attack the village.
**[17:55] ---**
    Rin realized this...
**[17:57] ---**
    And took advantage of the Lightning Blade
    you aimed at the enemy...
**[18:02] ---**
    to commit suicide.
**[18:06] ---**
    She made up her mind to die
    at the hands of the one she loved.
**[18:10] ---**
    In order to protect
    the Hidden Leaf.
**[18:13] ---**
    No matter what you say,
**[18:14] ---**
    to me, you're still an impostor
    who couldn't protect Rin.
**[18:20] ---**
    To me, Rin is someone
    who wasn't supposed to die.
**[18:23] ---**
    So Rin dead is also an impostor.
**[18:29] ---**
    Rin is Rin because she is alive!
**[18:32] ---**
    The things that created
    all these circumstances...
**[18:34] ---**
    The system of shinobi, village,
    and the shinobi themselves...
**[18:39] ---**
    What caused me to despair,
    is this world itself.
**[18:43] ---**
    This counterfeit world!
**[18:47] ---**
    Remember Naruto's words?
**[18:49] ---**
    That it's most painful
**[18:51] ---**
    not to have real comrades
    inside one's heart?
**[18:54] ---**
    I quoted exactly what
    you said long ago to him...
**[18:59] ---**
    I know the old you would have
    resonated with that.
**[19:03] ---**
    And I still believe
    the current you, can as well-!
**[19:06] ---**
    Look!
**[19:08] ---**
    There's nothing in my heart!
**[19:10] ---**
    I don't even feel pain anymore.
**[19:15] ---**
    Don't feel so guilty, Kakashi.
**[19:18] ---**
    This hole was opened
    by this hellish world.
**[19:23] ---**
    In the past,
    all I felt was pain here.
**[19:26] ---**
    What's the meaning in that?
**[19:28] ---**
    So I abandoned everything.
**[19:30] ---**
    You've been suffering all this time,
    haven't you?
**[19:35] ---**
    As you stood at Rin's grave...
    and at my grave.
**[19:41] ---**
    Kakashi...
**[19:43] ---**
    Enough already.
**[19:45] ---**
    You don't have to
    suffer anymore.
**[19:48] ---**
    Rin is here.
**[19:50] ---**
    *I love you, Kakashi.*
**[19:52] ---**
    Along with your ideal version of me.
**[19:56] ---**
    *I'm gonna be Hokage!*
**[19:59] ---**
    You can wish for
    whatever you want...
**[20:00] ---**
    You can have anything you
    desire in this Genjutsu World.
**[20:05] ---**
    The hole in your heart
    can be filled immediately.
**[20:10] ---**
    Rin is gone.
**[20:12] ---**
    You are still alive!
**[20:15] ---**
    Do you really think
    that something like this
**[20:17] ---**
    can fill that hole in your heart?
**[20:22] ---**
    Don't erase the memories
    of the real Rin!
**[20:25] ---**
    Rin sacrificed herself to protect
    and save the village!
**[20:30] ---**
    You can try and fill that hole
    with delusions all by yourself...
**[20:34] ---**
    But that hole will never be filled!
**[20:57] ---**
    It's transforming again!
**[22:37] ---**
    What's your issue with
    a Genjutsu World?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Reality is cruel.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    This hole is only going
    to get bigger.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Things don't always go
    the way you want.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Nor does help always
    get there in time.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Just like how it was with me!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Just like how
    I couldn't get there in time!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    “Something to Fill the Hole”
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Wouldn't you agree, Kakashi?
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    SOMETHING TO FILL THE HOLE
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Something to Fill the Hole*
    
    
    
**[01:33] ---**
    Everyone! Let's join together
    and fight as one!
**[01:36] ---**
    - Right!
    - Right!
**[01:38] ---**
    Hinata!
**[01:39] ---**
    Time for you to recover!
**[01:46] ---**
    *You guys...*
**[01:48] ---**
    Such a futile demonstration.
**[02:08] ---**
    It's transforming again!
**[02:09] ---**
    No, it's only reverting
    to its original form.
**[02:13] ---**
    That was only its attack form.
**[02:17] ---**
    However...
**[02:19] ---**
    It's just one stage away
    from its final transformation.
**[02:25] ---**
    Naruto's still recovering,
**[02:26] ---**
    and Nine Tails is
    infusing chakra right now.
**[02:28] ---**
    Right now, it's up to us, Bee!
**[02:31] ---**
    Right. We'll show everyone the way!
**[02:35] ---**
    Listen to me, Bee...
**[02:37] ---**
    If we let it undergo
    its final transformation, we've lost.
**[02:41] ---**
    We must stop it now!
**[02:55] ---**
    *Ten Tails isn't holding back...*
**[02:58] ---**
    *It probably got impatient*
**[02:59] ---**
    *after seeing the same Tailed Beasts*
    *inside Naruto!*
**[03:04] ---**
    The fun's just beginning,
    but it looks like I need to move soon.
**[03:14] ---**
    It's getting bigger and bigger.
**[03:17] ---**
    I- Is it after Naruto?
**[03:23] ---**
    *Honestly, how're we going*
    *to stop that thing*
**[03:25] ---**
    *without Naruto's chakra?*
**[03:35] ---**
    We can't waver after
    coming this far!
**[03:39] ---**
    Naruto is putting everything
    into doing what has to be done.
**[03:44] ---**
    *It's even more painful for me...*
    *not to have any comrades in here!*
**[03:49] ---**
    Naruto's words just now
    made it clear!
**[03:53] ---**
    Yeah. He's been going
    out of his way
**[03:56] ---**
    even to protect shinobi like us...
**[03:57] ---**
    That's not what
    I was talking about!
**[04:00] ---**
    He's told us that
**[04:01] ---**
    he considers all of us his comrades
    from the bottom of his heart.
**[04:06] ---**
    Comrades...
**[04:07] ---**
    Comrades...
**[04:09] ---**
    - We're...
    - That's right, I'm his...
**[04:11] ---**
    - Me, too...
    - That's right, we all are...
**[04:16] ---**
    We all are...
**[04:18] ---**
    Yeah.
**[04:20] ---**
    We're comrades!
**[04:22] ---**
    Comrades!
**[04:24] ---**
    Comrades!
**[04:25] ---**
    I'll fully heal Naruto!
**[04:29] ---**
    We have to do
    what we have to do!
**[04:33] ---**
    If we're going to die anyway,
**[04:36] ---**
    we might as well go down...
**[04:39] ---**
    fighting to the best of our abilities!
**[04:47] ---**
    Ino!
**[04:49] ---**
    I want you to link me
    with someone!
**[04:51] ---**
    You've got a plan, haven't you?
**[04:53] ---**
    I knew you would
    come through, Shikamaru!
**[04:55] ---**
    Isn't there anything
    we can do, Dad?
**[04:58] ---**
    I don't have enough chakra.
**[04:59] ---**
    *Kitsuchi! Please hear me out!*
**[05:02] ---**
    *You're Shikaku's child...*
**[05:05] ---**
    *Teach me the signs to*
    *an easy Earth Style Barrier*
**[05:07] ---**
    *that even non-Stone Ninja*
    *can perform!*
**[05:11] ---**
    *One that anyone could perform*
    *would be too weak!*
**[05:15] ---**
    *It would be better to...*
**[05:17] ---**
    *No, it's crucial that*
    *everyone be able to produce it.*
**[05:20] ---**
    *If the enemy has quality,*
    *we've got quantity.*
**[05:23] ---**
    *But these walls will*
    *be blown away quickly.*
**[05:25] ---**
    *Even if they are*
**[05:26] ---**
    *if we keep creating more,*
    *they'll act like a shield.*
**[05:30] ---**
    *We're going to slow*
    *that thing's momentum*
**[05:32] ---**
    *with many weak walls rather than*
    *try to stop it with one powerful one!*
**[05:36] ---**
    *Of course, I intend to have*
    *all of you from the Hidden Stone*
**[05:39] ---**
    *build me a super wall as well...*
**[05:42] ---**
    *I see... Your idea might be*
    *worth a try.*
**[05:46] ---**
    *All right,*
    *these are the hand signs!*
**[05:49] ---**
    *Before we start...*
**[05:51] ---**
    *Master Bee!*
**[05:54] ---**
    *While everyone is*
    *building barriers,*
**[05:56] ---**
    *I want you to bombard that thing*
    *with Tailed Beast Bombs*
**[05:59] ---**
    *to shift its trajectory upwards.*
**[06:02] ---**
    *Ino...*
**[06:05] ---**
    Next, I want you to link me
**[06:07] ---**
    with every shinobi here
    on the battlefield.
**[06:10] ---**
    Can you do it?
**[06:11] ---**
    Doesn't matter, I will do it!
**[06:21] ---**
    What's your issue with
    a Genjutsu World?
**[06:25] ---**
    Reality is cruel.
**[06:27] ---**
    This hole is only going to get bigger.
**[06:31] ---**
    Things don't always
    go the way want them.
**[06:34] ---**
    Nor does help always
    get there in time.
**[06:39] ---**
    Just like how it was with me!
**[06:43] ---**
    Just like how I couldn't
    get there in time!
**[06:47] ---**
    Wouldn't you agree, Kakashi?
**[06:50] ---**
    How are you going to seal
    this hole by staying in this world?!
**[06:58] ---**
    I may be trash as a shinobi,
    but I've learned a few things.
**[07:12] ---**
    The hole in one's heart gets filled
    by others around you.
**[07:18] ---**
    Friends won't flock to
    someone who abandons
**[07:21] ---**
    the memory of his friends
    and gives up on the world...
**[07:25] ---**
    Just because things don't go
    the way he wants them to.
**[07:29] ---**
    That won't help fill
    the hole in your heart.
**[07:33] ---**
    And people don't help those
    who run away and do nothing.
**[07:39] ---**
    As long as you don't give up,
    there will always be salvation.
**[07:59] ---**
    No matter what you do...
**[08:06] ---**
    It's over.
**[08:08] ---**
    - Earth Style Barrier!
    - Earth Style Barrier!
**[08:11] ---**
    Here it comes, Bee!
**[08:13] ---**
    Let's go!
**[08:16] ---**
    Its power is off the charts!
**[08:27] ---**
    *It's more powerful than I thought.*
**[08:30] ---**
    *At this rate...*
**[08:36] ---**
    *The last barrier...!*
**[08:43] ---**
    Lord Bee!
**[08:47] ---**
    All your tedious whitewashing!
**[08:50] ---**
    One can only achieve true happiness
    by abandoning reality
**[08:53] ---**
    and ridding yourself of
    the memories of your comrades!
**[08:57] ---**
    In the ninja world, those who
    break the rules are scum.
**[09:03] ---**
    But...those who abandon
    their friends are worse than scum.
**[09:10] ---**
    And...those who don't care
    about their friends' feelings...
**[09:17] ---**
    are even worse scum!
**[09:27] ---**
    It vanished...?
**[09:34] ---**
    I won't abandon my memory
    of the old you.
**[09:38] ---**
    Even if it's the current you
    who's repudiating it.
**[09:48] ---**
    Am I late?
**[09:50] ---**
    Nope.
**[09:51] ---**
    Right on time, Dad!
**[09:55] ---**
    FOURTH HOKAGE
**[09:56] ---**
    Who...?
**[09:58] ---**
    Who's...?
**[10:08] ---**
    My name's Minato Namikaze.
**[10:10] ---**
    Brace for an impending explosion.
**[10:16] ---**
    What is that?
**[10:18] ---**
    What?
**[10:21] ---**
    I sent Ten Tails' attack
    back toward the sea.
**[10:27] ---**
    - What's that?!
    - Is it an attack?!
**[10:28] ---**
    Watch out!
**[10:31] ---**
    What the hell's going on?!
**[10:34] ---**
    What just happened?!
**[10:38] ---**
    That shock wave came
    out of nowhere!
**[10:41] ---**
    What's with that?!
**[10:42] ---**
    Stop complaining!
**[10:44] ---**
    We're lucky that
    we got off that easily!
**[10:52] ---**
    *He has Reanimation eyes!*
**[10:55] ---**
    Wh-Who are you?
**[10:58] ---**
    Relax. I'm an ally.
**[11:01] ---**
    Thanks for healing Naruto!
**[11:04] ---**
    Are you...
**[11:06] ---**
    Naruto's girlfriend?
**[11:08] ---**
    Huh?
**[11:09] ---**
    Hmm...
**[11:11] ---**
    Uh-huh... Yeah!
**[11:13] ---**
    I suppose you could say that.
**[11:14] ---**
    You keep quiet!
**[11:18] ---**
    Don't waste your energy talking!
**[11:21] ---**
    You're supposed to be healing me,
    but I just suffered more damage...
**[11:24] ---**
    I'll heal the extra damage too!
**[11:30] ---**
    *She reminds me a little of Kushina...*
**[11:33] ---**
    Please go easy on my son.
**[11:39] ---**
    So, why did this happen so suddenly?
**[11:41] ---**
    It seems like you knew.
**[11:44] ---**
    I sensed his chakra when
    I was in Nine Tails Mode.
**[11:47] ---**
    The others should be arriving soon...
**[11:51] ---**
    Something's coming!
**[11:59] ---**
    Minato, you're as fast as ever!
**[12:04] ---**
    Lord Third Hokage?!
**[12:06] ---**
    And also...
**[12:07] ---**
    That's the...!
**[12:09] ---**
    Fourth...
**[12:11] ---**
    You're better
    at teleporting than I am!
**[12:14] ---**
    All right, let's do this!
**[12:18] ---**
    No way!
**[12:20] ---**
    I don't believe it...
**[12:23] ---**
    Lords First...
**[12:24] ---**
    Second...
**[12:26] ---**
    Third...
**[12:28] ---**
    and even Lord Fourth...
**[12:30] ---**
    Minato!
**[12:32] ---**
    So you're the ones
    who stopped the attack, Lords Hokage!
**[12:37] ---**
    But who reanimated you?
**[12:40] ---**
    Orochimaru summoned us.
**[12:43] ---**
    We need to stop this war quickly.
**[12:46] ---**
    What? Didn't Orochimaru die?
**[12:50] ---**
    This is amazing!
**[12:51] ---**
    The previous Hokage are going
    to join us in battle!
**[12:53] ---**
    Now that's reassuring!
**[12:55] ---**
    I don't know
    what's going on anymore...
**[12:57] ---**
    There's still more help coming,
**[13:01] ---**
    but they're taking a little longer.
**[13:10] ---**
    I've been waiting for you, Hashirama!
**[13:15] ---**
    I'll deal with you later!
**[13:18] ---**
    I have to stop
    the Ten Tails first!
**[13:23] ---**
    He hasn't changed a bit.
**[13:26] ---**
    We're never on the same page.
**[13:28] ---**
    After all...
**[13:31] ---**
    It's charging towards us...
**[13:37] ---**
    You've done well, Naruto.
**[13:40] ---**
    Take a little break.
**[13:42] ---**
    Your friend will be here soon.
**[13:46] ---**
    He's our ally too.
**[13:51] ---**
    *He is?*
**[13:57] ---**
    *This presence...*
**[13:59] ---**
    *It's Minato... What's going on?*
**[14:03] ---**
    My fellow Hokage, let's go!
**[14:11] ---**
    Second and Third,
    stand in front of me.
**[14:16] ---**
    *That's exactly like Naruto's...*
**[14:20] ---**
    I never imagined
    Minato would too!
**[14:24] ---**
    See! You see!
**[14:25] ---**
    Isn't my dad awesome?!
**[14:28] ---**
    I know that better than you!
**[14:35] ---**
    Reaper Death Seal!
**[14:47] ---**
    *Let's put our trust in this child!*
**[14:49] ---**
    *He's our son, after all!*
**[14:53] ---**
    Seal!
**[15:03] ---**
    After all, he's the one who
    split me up before sealing me away!
**[15:08] ---**
    THIRD HOKAGE
**[15:10] ---**
    Have you already placed
    your markers?
**[15:12] ---**
    Yes.
**[15:13] ---**
    You're quick at striking too!
**[15:24] ---**
    He vanished!
**[15:28] ---**
    Let's go!
**[15:29] ---**
    Ninja Art...
**[15:31] ---**
    - Four Crimson Ray Formation!
    - Four Crimson Ray Formation!
**[15:45] ---**
    And...I'll just add on...
**[15:48] ---**
    Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates!
**[15:59] ---**
    Ten Seals!
**[16:06] ---**
    A red barrier?!
**[16:08] ---**
    It's said to be dozens of times
    more powerful
**[16:11] ---**
    than the Four Purple
    Flames Formation!
**[16:13] ---**
    It's a barrier that requires
**[16:15] ---**
    four Hokage-class shinobi
    together to create!
**[16:21] ---**
    It won't be able to move
    so easily now.
**[16:39] ---**
    You sure took your time
    getting here, Sasuke.
**[16:45] ---**
    Sasu...ke?
**[16:49] ---**
    Is that you, Sakura?
**[16:51] ---**
    S-Sasuke! Why?!
**[16:59] ---**
    S-Sasuke!
**[17:01] ---**
    Hey, Ino! Stop!
**[17:02] ---**
    He's an enemy!
**[17:04] ---**
    Ino... You better keep your distance!
**[17:11] ---**
    You're all still as noisy as ever!
**[17:16] ---**
    Why the hell are you here, bastard?!
**[17:19] ---**
    Why are you here, Sasuke?
**[17:24] ---**
    A lot of things have happened.
**[17:26] ---**
    I've decided to protect Leaf Village.
**[17:30] ---**
    And then, I'll...
**[17:35] ---**
    become Hokage.
**[17:45] ---**
    What?!
**[17:47] ---**
    You can't just come back
    all of a sudden
**[17:49] ---**
    and crack a lame joke like that,
    you Rogue Ninja!
**[17:51] ---**
    Do you even know
    what it means to be Hokage?
**[17:53] ---**
    I don't know what happened to you,
    but that's not possible.
**[17:58] ---**
    Do you even realize
    what you're saying?
**[18:01] ---**
    Do you think we can just forget
    all the things you've done?
**[18:05] ---**
    Yeah, I realize you probably can't.
**[18:08] ---**
    But...
**[18:10] ---**
    it doesn't matter
    what you guys think of me.
**[18:15] ---**
    All of the previous Kage created
    these current circumstances.
**[18:19] ---**
    So I will become Hokage
    and change the village.
**[18:26] ---**
    *You don't become Hokage*
**[18:27] ---**
    *in order to be acknowledged*
    *by the village.*
**[18:30] ---**
    *The one who is acknowledged*
    *by everyone,*
**[18:32] ---**
    *is the one who becomes Hokage.*
**[18:36] ---**
    *I leave Sasuke to you.*
**[18:43] ---**
    *Leave it to me.*
**[18:51] ---**
    I'm going to be Hokage!
**[18:55] ---**
    I'm glad there's so much interest
    in becoming Hokage...
**[18:58] ---**
    But you guys are
    taking too much time!
**[19:00] ---**
    Start infusing chakra right now!
**[19:03] ---**
    We'll take down Ten Tails
    with an all-out attack!
**[19:08] ---**
    Thanks for healing me, Sakura!
**[19:11] ---**
    Now it's your turn to get some rest.
**[19:14] ---**
    Let's go, Sasuke!
**[19:24] ---**
    Sakura?
**[19:25] ---**
    So do you see me as
    some sort of weak woman
**[19:27] ---**
    who can't keep up with you two?
**[19:30] ---**
    Do you think Lady Tsunade
    would be the only one
**[19:33] ---**
    out of the Legendary Sannin
    to inadequately train her student?
**[19:37] ---**
    I'm almost there...
**[19:39] ---**
    I'll be at full capacity in a little bit.
**[19:42] ---**
    Then I can output my true power.
**[19:45] ---**
    Just like you,
    I'm a member of Team 7...
**[19:48] ---**
    and I'm a student of
    one of the Legendary Sannin!
**[19:59] ---**
    Okay then!
**[20:01] ---**
    Team 7 is finally back!
**[20:07] ---**
    Let's go, Sakura! Sasuke!
**[20:10] ---**
    Right!
**[20:11] ---**
    Yeah!
**[20:13] ---**
    That sight sure brings
    back memories, doesn't it, Shikamaru?
**[20:17] ---**
    Well, if he's willing to
    help us defeat the enemy,
**[20:21] ---**
    I won't turn him away.
**[20:24] ---**
    Even tho' I don't want to accept him...
**[20:26] ---**
    It's been a long time since
    our class has been back together.
**[20:29] ---**
    I haven't felt like this
    since the Chunin Exam.
**[20:32] ---**
    I'm going to become Hokage!
**[20:33] ---**
    Hey, are you guys even listening?!
**[20:36] ---**
    Kiba, no one's paying attention right now...
    and it's pitiful.
**[20:41] ---**
    Stop it.
**[20:42] ---**
    It's because the impact of
    Sasuke's sudden appearance
**[20:45] ---**
    and his declaration to
    become Hokage are much too great.
**[20:49] ---**
    Kiba, I heard you!
**[20:53] ---**
    We should all aspire
    to become Hokage!
**[20:58] ---**
    Let's show them
    what we're made of, ya know!
**[22:37] ---**
    Ever since I was a genin,
    
    
**[22:38] ---**
    I thought I was
    a full-fledged kunoichi.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    But I ended up hiding
    behind Sasuke and Naruto.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    I hated the way I was.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    I swore then, that next time,
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    I would make them
    stare at my back!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    And now finally, I...
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Team 7 Assemble!"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Cha!
**[23:01] ---**
    TEAM 7 ASSEMBLE!
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:09] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[00:10] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[00:16] ---**
    You're all still as noisy as ever!
**[00:21] ---**
    Why the hell
    are you here, bastard?!
**[00:24] ---**
    Why are you here, Sasuke?
**[00:29] ---**
    A lot of things have happened.
**[00:31] ---**
    I've decided to protect

**[00:35] ---**
    And then, I'll...
**[00:41] ---**
    become Hokage.
**[00:50] ---**
    What?!
**[00:55] ---**
    Okay then!
**[00:57] ---**
    Team 7 is...
**[01:00] ---**
    finally back!
**[01:02] ---**
    Let's go, Sakura! Sasuke!
**[02:36] ---**
    *Team 7, Assemble!*
    
    
**[02:54] ---**
    That sight sure brings back memories,
    doesn't it, Shikamaru?
**[02:58] ---**
    Well, if he's willing to help us
    defeat the enemy,
**[03:02] ---**
    I won't turn him away.
**[03:04] ---**

**[03:06] ---**

**[03:32] ---**
    We should all aspire

**[03:36] ---**
    Let's show them
    what we're made of, ya know!
**[03:46] ---**
    *Sasuke… What are you thinking*
    *right now?*
**[03:56] ---**
    Okay then!
**[03:58] ---**
    Wait a minute!
**[03:59] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:05] ---**
    It's that thing again!
**[04:16] ---**
    It wants to break the barrier!
**[04:18] ---**
    Fellow previous Hokage!
**[04:19] ---**
    Please re-focus and
    prepare yourselves!
**[04:22] ---**
    We know that!
**[04:24] ---**
    Now then...
**[04:57] ---**
    It held up!
**[05:00] ---**
    What an amazing barrier…
**[05:02] ---**
    To be able to keep that thing out…
**[05:05] ---**
    Where's the Ten Tails?!
**[05:16] ---**
    That Ten Tails, he hit himself!
**[05:22] ---**
    It's not some simple barrier!
**[05:26] ---**
    Wow…
**[05:27] ---**
    The previous Hokage were
    truly amazing people!
**[05:31] ---**
    Looks like they weren't just all talk.
**[05:37] ---**
    Wood Style: Wood Clone Jutsu!
**[05:43] ---**
    I'll make entry points
    on all four sides of the barrier,
**[05:46] ---**
    so shinobi can go in and out!
**[05:48] ---**
    Follow me!
**[05:50] ---**
    All right! Go!
**[05:52] ---**
    Right!
**[05:55] ---**
    It's not over yet!
**[05:57] ---**
    Sage Arts: Gracious Deity Gates!
**[06:00] ---**
    Head Seal!
**[06:09] ---**
    Now then,
    time to deal with you.
**[06:12] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Madara…
**[06:15] ---**
    No...
**[06:21] ---**
    A clone is no fun.
**[06:23] ---**
    I'll wait for the real one
    to show up.
**[06:32] ---**
    Now!
**[06:50] ---**
    Fission Beings?
**[06:52] ---**
    It's trying to keep us away
    from its real body!
**[07:01] ---**
    Don't waver!
**[07:16] ---**
    *Yes… I…*
**[07:19] ---**
    *I…*
**[07:30] ---**
    *Sasuke!*
**[07:38] ---**
    *Demon Wind Shuriken,*
    *Windmill of Shadows!*
**[08:02] ---**
    *Over here!*
**[08:05] ---**
    *Quit joking around!*
**[08:08] ---**
    *Summoning Jutsu!*
**[08:20] ---**
    *Take that for now.*
**[08:26] ---**
    *Then eat this!*
**[08:31] ---**
    *This kid...impossible!*
**[08:38] ---**
    *Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!*
**[08:55] ---**
    *That's right…*
    *Ever since I was a genin,*
**[08:57] ---**
    *I thought I was*
    *a full-fledged kunoichi.*
**[09:01] ---**
    *But I ended up hiding*
    *behind Sasuke and Naruto.*
**[09:05] ---**
    *The two of them risked everything*
    *to protect me.*
**[09:10] ---**
    *I hated the way I was.*
**[09:12] ---**
    *I swore then, that next time,*
**[09:14] ---**
    *I would make them*
    *stare at my back!*
**[09:19] ---**
    Even I... Even I can…
**[09:37] ---**
    *Now it's your turn*
    *to gaze at my back!*
**[09:41] ---**
    *That's what I vowed back then…*
**[09:44] ---**
    *But Naruto and Sasuke kept*
    *progressing faster and faster…*
**[09:49] ---**
    *So I gave up…*
**[09:50] ---**
    *Thinking it was useless*
    *because they were just too strong!*
**[09:52] ---**
    *I thought I'd never be able*
    *to catch up to them.*
**[09:54] ---**
    *But…*
**[09:55] ---**
    Naruto!
**[09:57] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[09:59] ---**
    Stop!
**[10:03] ---**
    Both of you, stop!
**[10:12] ---**
    *I didn't think about it…*
**[10:14] ---**
    *and I put the entire burden*
    *on Naruto.*
**[10:22] ---**
    *I went crying to you.*
**[10:24] ---**
    *I held onto you, expecting you*
    *to make it all better.*
**[10:34] ---**
    *While I did nothing.*
**[10:36] ---**
    I'm sorry, Naruto.
**[10:39] ---**
    You may have to wait
    for me a little bit.
**[10:43] ---**
    Next time I'm coming with you!
**[10:48] ---**
    Please take me on as your apprentice!
**[11:15] ---**
    Cha!
**[11:23] ---**
    Your movements are getting better!
**[11:26] ---**
    By the way, do you remember
    the first thing I taught you?
**[11:30] ---**
    Of course.
**[11:32] ---**
    Medic Ninja must never
    get themselves killed.
**[11:34] ---**
    Thus they must never force
    their way forward.
**[11:37] ---**
    That is true…
**[11:39] ---**
    However, that does not mean that
**[11:40] ---**
    you don't have to learn jutsu
    necessary to fight on the frontline.
**[11:45] ---**
    First and foremost,
    you are my disciple.
**[11:48] ---**
    A kunoichi who will inherit
    the power of the Legendary Sannin.
**[11:51] ---**
    And…Sakura Haruno…
**[11:53] ---**
    You are also the disciple
    of the Fifth Hokage!
**[11:58] ---**
    And...
**[11:59] ---**
    I just now reached full capacity.
    And I can finally unleash it!
**[12:16] ---**
    Cha!
**[12:21] ---**
    *I am never, ever talking back*
    *to Sakura ever again.*
**[12:27] ---**
    *She'll destroy me.*
**[12:36] ---**
    What monster strength!
**[12:38] ---**
    It might just be greater than Tsuna's!
**[12:41] ---**
    *Amassing chakra at a continuous rate*
    *over three years…*
**[12:44] ---**
    *requiring extremely*
    *delicate chakra control.*
**[12:47] ---**
    *The 100 Healings Mark*
    *that I couldn't even achieve.*
**[12:51] ---**
    And I have no need to keep up
    a youthful appearance!
**[13:02] ---**
    Wind Style…
**[13:03] ---**
    Inferno Style…
**[13:06] ---**
    - Rasen Shuriken!
    - Flame Control!
**[13:15] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[13:17] ---**
    Um…
**[13:19] ---**
    I'm here too…Sakura!
**[13:22] ---**
    Don't drag us down, Naruto.
**[13:24] ---**
    He's right! Keep complaining and
**[13:27] ---**
    I'll just grab the title
    of Hokage away from you!
**[13:30] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:31] ---**
    Not you too, Sakura?!
**[13:33] ---**
    This time, we fight with
    our backs to each other!
**[13:36] ---**
    *Lady Tsunade…*
**[13:38] ---**
    *I've finally caught up*
    *with these two.*
**[14:10] ---**
    *So this is how Nine Tails*
    *Chakra looks under control...*
**[14:15] ---**
    *A new Sharingan…*
    *with black flames…*
**[14:25] ---**
    *That Naruto…*
**[14:27] ---**
    *He's even mastered changing*
    *the Rasengan's nature...*
**[14:34] ---**
    Sakura's holding her own!
**[14:38] ---**
    Hey, Team 8! Let's go too!
**[14:40] ---**
    We can't let Team 7 show us up!
**[14:42] ---**
    Right!
**[14:44] ---**
    I've worked out
    a new jutsu too, Naruto!
**[14:48] ---**
    Don't think you're the only one
    with this jutsu!
**[14:52] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[15:00] ---**
    Did you just say Shadow Clone Jutsu?
**[15:01] ---**
    All you did was make one clone!
**[15:03] ---**
    Back in the day,
    I could make a lot more...
**[15:05] ---**
    Just watch!
**[15:06] ---**
    There may be just one,
    but he's three times stronger!
**[15:10] ---**
    Come on, Akamaru!
**[15:14] ---**
    We're gonna attack the enemy!
**[15:16] ---**
    *Inuzuka Style!*
**[15:17] ---**
    *Man-Beast Team*
    *Transformation Combo!*
**[15:20] ---**
    Three-Headed Wolf!
**[15:25] ---**
    Sasuke's joke was disgusting.
    But it's revving me up!
**[15:33] ---**
    Tail Chasing…
**[15:34] ---**
    Rotating Fang!
**[15:56] ---**
    Parasitic Gigantic Beetle...
**[16:03] ---**
    Infestation!
**[16:09] ---**
    Gross! What are those?!
**[16:12] ---**
    Parasitic Gigantic Beetles…
**[16:14] ---**
    If you mistake the amount
    of chakra to give them,
**[16:17] ---**
    they'll devour your flesh
    and undergo rapid growth.
**[16:20] ---**
    They are beetles
    that are difficult to nurture.
**[16:23] ---**
    Two Palms! Four Palms! Eight Palms!
**[16:26] ---**
    Sixteen Palms!
**[16:27] ---**
    Thirty-Two Palms!
**[16:32] ---**
    *I guess this is still my limit...*
**[16:35] ---**
    *No such thing.*
**[16:37] ---**
    *But I'm not like you, Neji…*
**[16:41] ---**
    *If you set limits on yourself,*
**[16:42] ---**
    *you'll never be able*
    *to catch up to him…*
**[16:45] ---**
    *Overcome your limits,*
    *fearlessly take a giant leap forward.*
**[16:51] ---**
    *That's the…*
**[17:05] ---**
    Sixty-Four Palms!
**[17:10] ---**
    *...trick to achieve the Sixty-Four Palms.*
**[17:16] ---**
    *Naruto is always striving*
    *to get ahead.*
**[17:19] ---**
    *And I…*
**[17:24] ---**
    *...want to keep standing*
    *by Naruto forever!*
**[17:28] ---**
    This time, I'll proceed to
**[17:30] ---**
    Eight Trigrams
    Sixty-Four Palms like this!
**[17:34] ---**
    *So I'll continuously*
    *move forward as well!*
**[17:38] ---**
    Come on, Team 10!
**[17:39] ---**
    Let's attack with
    the Ino-Shika-Cho Combination!
**[17:42] ---**
    Formation E!
**[17:44] ---**
    This isn't the Chunin Exam.
**[17:46] ---**
    We're not competing against
    the other teams.
**[17:49] ---**
    This is war…
**[17:51] ---**
    But we want to show them
    what we're made of, right?
**[17:54] ---**
    *Expansion Jutsu!*
**[17:59] ---**
    *Shadow Grasping Jutsu!*
**[18:16] ---**
    *Twenty-five enemy signatures*
    *picked up and locked on!*
**[18:21] ---**
    Sensory Relay!
**[18:30] ---**
    Human Boulder Yo-Yo!
**[18:50] ---**
    I'm going to expand even more.
**[18:51] ---**
    Can you handle more weight?
**[18:53] ---**
    Yeah… You're still light.
**[18:56] ---**
    And besides, this isn't quite flashy
    enough to impress.
**[18:59] ---**
    What? Who's being
    super competitive now?
**[19:03] ---**
    Actually, I'm technically on
    Team 7 too, you know...
**[19:09] ---**
    *I'll quickly attack*
    *the main body from the air!*
**[19:13] ---**
    Sai!
**[19:21] ---**
    Sai!
**[19:27] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[19:29] ---**
    Yes…
**[19:33] ---**
    It's no good!
**[19:34] ---**
    The enemy keeps
    increasing in numbers.
**[19:37] ---**
    Not only that…
**[19:38] ---**
    Some are huge!
**[19:40] ---**
    These big ones...sure are heavy!
**[19:46] ---**
    Naruto…
**[19:47] ---**
    Can you share your chakra
    with everyone again?
**[19:50] ---**
    I can't right now!
**[19:51] ---**
    Kurama hasn't finished
    amassing chakra yet!
**[19:56] ---**
    In order to take down
    the main body,
**[19:58] ---**
    we need to mow down
    the big ones and slip past them.
**[20:02] ---**
    The distance is too great to
    make a single leap for it.
**[20:06] ---**
    We also need time to weave signs
    and repel the enemy's attacks.
**[20:10] ---**
    Without your chakra, Naruto,
**[20:12] ---**
    it's very likely
    we'll suffer heavy casualties.
**[20:14] ---**
    And the Medical Corps
    can't come up to the front.
**[20:19] ---**
    Mow down and slip past?
**[20:22] ---**
    Easy.
**[20:24] ---**
    This guy has the power to
    clear the distance in a single leap
**[20:27] ---**
    and repel enemy attacks.
**[20:30] ---**
    I can now stay nearby and
**[20:32] ---**
    heal anyone who suffers
    serious injuries at all times.
**[20:36] ---**
    - Summoning Jutsu!
    - Summoning Jutsu!
**[22:38] ---**
    See the gigantic guy
    way in the back?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Could you get me closer
    to it with a big leap?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    I need you to just
    keep advancing forward.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    I'll get the real body in the back.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Lady Katsuyu,
    please divide and
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    attend to each person
    in the Allied Shinobi Forces.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Our role will be to heal everyone.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The New Three."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    It is a new era!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE NEW THREE
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *The New Three-Way Deadlock*
    
    
**[02:46] ---**
    Huh?
**[02:47] ---**
    Wait…
**[02:49] ---**
    This color…
**[02:51] ---**
    You're…
**[02:53] ---**
    Gamakichi!
**[02:55] ---**
    Pop was tied up with
    some negotiations,
**[02:58] ---**
    so I came in his place.
**[03:00] ---**
    You surprised?!
**[03:01] ---**
    No! No!
**[03:03] ---**
    But man, you sure got big
    all of a sudden!
**[03:06] ---**
    I'm more shocked than
    I was about Akamaru!
**[03:08] ---**
    You humans grow too slow, that's all.
**[03:12] ---**
    Anyway, what's up?
**[03:14] ---**
    Right!
**[03:15] ---**
    See the gigantic guy way
    in the back?
**[03:17] ---**
    Could you get me closer to it
    with a big leap?
**[03:21] ---**
    You mean the biggest one
    over there?
**[03:23] ---**
    Yeah.
**[03:34] ---**
    Lord Sasuke, your desire?
**[03:37] ---**
    I need you to just keep
    advancing forward.
**[03:40] ---**
    I'll get the real body in the back!
**[03:43] ---**
    Sakura dear!
**[03:45] ---**
    You've finally able to invoke
    the 100 Healings Mark!
**[03:48] ---**
    Lady Tsunade would be so proud…
**[03:50] ---**
    Lady Katsuyu, we don't have time…
**[03:53] ---**
    Please divide and attend to each person
    in the Allied Shinobi Forces.
**[03:56] ---**
    Our role will be to heal everyone.
**[03:59] ---**
    I never expected
**[04:01] ---**
    to see the Three-Way Deadlock
    Summoning again!
**[04:28] ---**
    *It is a new era!*
**[04:30] ---**
    Go!
**[04:34] ---**
    Go! Aoda!
**[04:39] ---**
    Lady Katsuyu, please proceed!
**[04:45] ---**
    Jump, Gamakichi!
**[04:55] ---**
    *This is the original Team 7…*
**[05:34] ---**
    Nice, Gamakichi!
**[05:36] ---**
    Your size isn't just for show, eh!
**[05:38] ---**
    Nevermind that, just hurry up
    and weave your jutsu signs!
**[05:43] ---**
    Get with it,
    or I'll shake you off my head.
**[05:46] ---**
    *Even his attitude has gotten bigger!*
**[05:49] ---**
    I know!
**[05:51] ---**
    What's going on?
**[05:53] ---**
    It's all right.
**[05:55] ---**
    These slugs are part
    of the Fifth Hokage's Healing Jutsu.
**[05:58] ---**
    Please do not worry.
**[06:04] ---**
    *My strength is being restored!*
**[06:18] ---**
    My wounds are…
**[06:19] ---**
    It's healing me…
**[06:22] ---**
    *Her 100 Healings Mark was*
    *only just activated!*
**[06:26] ---**
    *And yet she can already perform*
    *Lady Katsuyu's long-distance healing!*
**[06:29] ---**
    *Sakura… You are simply amazing!*
**[06:39] ---**
    Lord Sasuke?
**[06:42] ---**
    Keep moving forward.
**[07:04] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[07:12] ---**
    *Go for it!*
**[07:14] ---**
    *Do it!*
**[07:15] ---**
    *Hang in there!*
**[07:16] ---**
    *Aim well!*
**[07:17] ---**
    *You can do it!*
**[07:19] ---**
    *Give it to 'em!*
**[07:20] ---**
    *Yes!*
**[07:31] ---**
    Wind Style: Massive Rasen Shuriken!
**[07:36] ---**
    Inferno Style: Susano'o Flame Control!
**[07:52] ---**
    *Sasuke and I must've been*
    *compatible, after all…*
**[07:57] ---**
    *Yes…*
**[07:58] ---**
    *Only "Wind" can beat "Lightning."*
**[08:01] ---**
    *No…*
**[08:03] ---**
    *That's not what I meant.*
**[08:07] ---**
    *Only "Wind" can assist*
    *and magnify "Fire"…*
**[08:17] ---**
    It's hit!
**[08:18] ---**
    It really hit!
**[08:21] ---**
    *I don't recall ever seeing*
    *a Flame Control of that magnitude.*
**[08:24] ---**
    *And they combined jutsu*
    *with matching chakra ratios!*
**[08:28] ---**
    That's difficult even for
    a seasoned duo!
**[08:32] ---**
    A windmill-like shuriken,
    and an arrow blacker than lacquer…
**[08:36] ---**
    Let's name it
**[08:38] ---**
    the Scorch Style Nimbus Gale
    Jet Black Arrow Formation Zero!
**[08:43] ---**
    Nah, never mind.
**[08:57] ---**
    Burn away…
**[09:07] ---**
    You heard what
    Sasuke said earlier, didn't you?
**[09:11] ---**
    What are his true intentions?
**[09:22] ---**
    I have no idea.
**[09:51] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[09:52] ---**
    *Why did we branch off from Sasuke?*
**[09:54] ---**
    *This wasn't the deal!*
**[09:57] ---**
    *I'm safe!*
**[09:58] ---**
    *No thanks to being on the frontlines!*
**[10:05] ---**
    There they are.
**[10:17] ---**
    Look at the sorry state
    you're in, Tsunade.
**[10:20] ---**
    Gross… A gigantic slug…
**[10:23] ---**
    How much salt would
    you need to take it down?
**[10:26] ---**
    That's just one part of Katsuyu
**[10:28] ---**
    that was summoned from
    Shikkotsu Woods.
**[10:32] ---**
    I'd say it's pretty small, actually.
**[10:34] ---**
    You don't say.
**[10:36] ---**
    I thought we were here
    for the Five Kage, not the slugs.
**[10:39] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru,
    stop paying attention to Suigetsu
**[10:43] ---**
    and get to the task at hand.
**[10:46] ---**
    Are you that upset because
    you couldn't stay with Sasuke?
**[10:50] ---**
    That's totally…not the case!
**[10:54] ---**
    Let's just do this.
**[10:56] ---**
    Damn you, Suigetsu!
**[10:57] ---**
    Why are you picking on me?
**[11:00] ---**
    Doesn't everyone who sees
    a slug want to sprinkle salt on it?
**[11:04] ---**
    Tsunade first!
**[11:06] ---**
    Let's go.
**[11:09] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[11:12] ---**
    Wait, was the Hokage
    always a granny?
**[11:14] ---**
    Ugh…
**[11:16] ---**
    It's not like she had a really
    long torso either, right?
**[11:20] ---**
    It seems you were reckless, Tsunade.
**[11:24] ---**
    Orochimaru?
**[11:29] ---**
    Katsuyu…
**[11:30] ---**
    I came here to aid the Five Kage.
**[11:33] ---**
    I'm not an enemy.
**[11:35] ---**
    I have no reason to believe you.
**[11:38] ---**
    Besides, you were dead!
**[11:41] ---**
    If I do anything that
    strikes you as suspect,
**[11:44] ---**
    you're welcome to kill me
    once and for all with your acid.
**[12:02] ---**
    All right.
**[12:04] ---**
    I'll believe you.
**[12:06] ---**
    You're quite sensible, unlike Manda.
**[12:09] ---**
    Now then…
**[12:11] ---**
    First of all…
**[12:12] ---**
    Where are the other Kage?
**[12:15] ---**
    They're recovering inside
    my fragments.
**[12:20] ---**
    They sustained serious injuries,
    and it's very…
**[12:23] ---**
    But Katsuyu…
**[12:25] ---**
    With you here, why is it taking
    so long for them to heal?
**[12:29] ---**
    I can only use my power
    in response
**[12:31] ---**
    to the strength of
    Lady Tsunade's 100 Healings.
**[12:35] ---**
    But Lady Tsunade is
    extremely weak right now,
**[12:38] ---**
    so I'm not able to activate
    my strength fully.
**[12:42] ---**
    Is that how the system worked?
**[12:46] ---**
    Anyway, whatever I remember,
    I've never seen Tsunade so weak.
**[12:51] ---**
    So it must be true.
**[12:54] ---**
    I am trying to persevere
    and focus on healing,
**[12:57] ---**
    despite the Summoning
    starting to unravel.
**[13:01] ---**
    That's why I haven't been able
    to properly reattach her body.
**[13:06] ---**
    Suigetsu, bring Tsunade's lower half
    and join it to her upper half.
**[13:11] ---**
    Huh?!
**[13:12] ---**
    I'm better at cutting things up.
**[13:18] ---**
    Ugh…
**[13:21] ---**
    The slugs are all slimy
    and wriggly. Gross!
**[13:24] ---**
    Well, so are you, Suigetsu!
**[13:26] ---**
    In fact, you're grosser and weirder
    because you have a human form!
**[13:30] ---**
    Karin…
**[13:31] ---**
    Let her bite you
    so that she can heal.
**[13:34] ---**
    What? I don't want anyone
    but Sasuke biting me…
**[13:39] ---**
    Hah! You just admitted
    you're in love with Sasuke!
**[13:42] ---**
    *Huh?*
**[13:43] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[13:44] ---**
    How could I hate,
    I mean, like that damn Sasuke?
**[13:48] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[13:49] ---**
    He tried to kill me…
    And it was irresistible…
**[13:52] ---**
    No, it wasn't!
**[13:55] ---**
    You were covered in bite marks
    long before Sasuke bit you!
**[13:58] ---**
    Shut up!
**[13:59] ---**
    Right now, I'm exclusively for Sasuke.
**[14:01] ---**
    Don't be so defiant,
    you denture mold model.
**[14:04] ---**
    Besides, how does
    your body work anyway?
**[14:07] ---**
    You're the weird one.
**[14:08] ---**
    What? Say that again!
**[14:10] ---**
    You two…
**[14:12] ---**
    Make it snappy.
**[14:14] ---**
    You're both weird.
**[14:16] ---**
    So stop fighting.
**[14:19] ---**
    Or else…
**[14:20] ---**
    I'll have my snakes ties you up
**[14:23] ---**
    and crawl into your mouth
    and possess you.
**[14:28] ---**
    *You're the weirdest one*
    *among us all!*
**[14:31] ---**
    He's weird and he's abnormal.
**[14:33] ---**
    WEIRD ABNORMAL
**[14:57] ---**
    *She's taking so much,*
    *I might end up aging into a hag.*
**[15:19] ---**
    Lady Tsunade,
    you're going to be all right!
**[15:22] ---**
    Tsunade, be a little grateful to me.
**[15:26] ---**
    You betrayed the village…
    So why all of this now?
**[15:31] ---**
    The range of things that
    interest me has expanded.
**[15:35] ---**
    In the past, I wanted to become
    the wind and turn the windmill myself.
**[15:41] ---**
    But now, I know the pleasure
**[15:43] ---**
    of waiting around for
    someone else's wind.
**[15:45] ---**
    One that is unpredictable.
**[15:48] ---**
    And I don't want that wind to
    get sealed away before I can enjoy it.
**[15:54] ---**
    You still don't make any sense.
**[16:00] ---**
    But…I suppose you've changed a little.
**[16:03] ---**
    I never imagined you would save me…
**[16:06] ---**
    Even that is possible.
**[16:08] ---**
    Do you remember?
**[16:10] ---**
    The Three-Way Deadlock
    from that time?
**[16:13] ---**
    The summoning…
**[16:14] ---**
    No…
**[16:15] ---**
    Just like how it's written…
    The Three-Way Deadlock…
**[16:24] ---**
    *Earth Style Stone Pistol Jutsu!*
**[16:56] ---**
    *It's useless, Tsunade.*
**[16:58] ---**
    *The Earth Style of the Hidden Stone*
    *will most likely*
**[17:00] ---**
    *cause this mountain to collapse.*
**[17:03] ---**
    *If we're going to escape,*
    *we can't wait.*
**[17:05] ---**
    *Just the two of us.*
**[17:07] ---**
    *Jiraiya…too!*
**[17:10] ---**
    *We can't take Jiraiya*
    *and outrun them.*
**[17:14] ---**
    *That's why I'll use Medical Ninjutsu to…*
**[17:17] ---**
    *Tsunade, this is war.*
**[17:20] ---**
    *We can't let our emotions*
    *get in the way*
**[17:22] ---**
    *and lower the probability of success.*
**[17:24] ---**
    *And what is success?*
**[17:26] ---**
    *To survive.*
**[17:30] ---**
    *One alone can't. Two probably can.*
**[17:33] ---**
    *Three spells…*
**[17:36] ---**
    *certain death.*
**[17:39] ---**
    *Go on ahead.*
**[17:43] ---**
    *I'll take care of Jiraiya…*
**[17:45] ---**
    *Make one move…and I'll kill you.*
**[18:02] ---**
    *Seems like we're in*
    *a three-way deadlock.*
**[18:04] ---**
    *What are you talking about?*
**[18:06] ---**
    *It just boils down to who will act first.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Jiraiya is already…*
**[18:32] ---**
    *Jiraiya trusts you completely.*
**[18:37] ---**
    *So much so, that it might freeze you*
    *in your tracks.*
**[18:43] ---**
    *So foolish!*
**[18:46] ---**
    *I'll…!*
**[18:51] ---**
    *Hey! Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru!*
**[18:54] ---**
    *I've brought reinforcements!*
**[19:11] ---**
    People can change.
**[19:14] ---**
    Or they die before they do.
    It's one or the other.
**[19:20] ---**
    Although he died without changing…
**[19:24] ---**
    He probably trusted you
    until the very end.
**[19:34] ---**
    Orochimaru…
**[19:35] ---**
    If you were like this sooner,
    Jiraiya might not have had to die…
**[19:39] ---**
    And if I had…
**[19:41] ---**
    Jiraiya might have changed too.
**[19:46] ---**
    Like how it was for us,
    the Legendary Sannin,
**[19:49] ---**
    things don't always go
    the way you want them to.
**[19:54] ---**
    We're not made of stone.
    Distortions will appear somewhere.
**[20:02] ---**
    *Perhaps that's why I want*
    *to observe Sasuke's future.*
**[20:08] ---**
    *While patiently waiting*
    *for his wind to blow.*
**[20:12] ---**
    Fine. I thank you for helping me heal.
**[20:16] ---**
    So… Do you know about the war?
**[20:20] ---**
    Of course. That's why
    I'm helping you out like this.
**[20:25] ---**
    How long have I been like this?
**[20:28] ---**
    I can report on the battle situation.
**[20:30] ---**
    How did you end up on the front?
**[20:35] ---**
    *I see…*
**[20:36] ---**
    *Sakura summoned Katsuyu!*
**[20:39] ---**
    Around now,
    a new Three-Way Deadlock
**[20:41] ---**
    is probably making their debut.
**[20:44] ---**
    What?
**[20:45] ---**
    Well, we're heading back.
**[20:48] ---**
    You should work on healing
    the other Kage.
**[22:37] ---**
    There is doubt in your heart.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Won't you stop this?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    It's because of that,
    I want to repudiate everything.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I can't see you not understanding
    Naruto's feelings.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    There is nothing in my heart!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Do you really think that such things
    can fill the hole in your heart?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Just like it was with me!
    Isn't that right Kakashi?
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Kakashi vs. Obito"
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    This is the only thing
    the current me can do…
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    KAKASHI VS. OBITO
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:08] ---**
    Wind Style:
    Massive Rasen Shuriken!
**[00:13] ---**
    Inferno Style:
    Susano'o Flame Control!
**[00:23] ---**
    *No... That's not what I meant.*
**[00:28] ---**
    *Only "Wind" can assist*
    *and magnify "Fire..."*
**[00:49] ---**
    Burn away!
**[00:53] ---**
    You heard what
    Sasuke said earlier, didn't you?
**[00:58] ---**
    What are his true intentions?
**[01:08] ---**
    I have no idea.
**[01:28] ---**
    Though still incomplete,
**[01:30] ---**
    the Ten Tails has been revived
    and is battling the Allied Forces.
**[01:33] ---**
    So I think that it's become
    quite a complex situation.
**[01:36] ---**
    It's gotten that bad...
**[01:39] ---**
    In that case, we need to hurry!
**[01:42] ---**
    I'll carry everyone with my sand.
**[01:45] ---**
    Please save your chakra.
**[01:47] ---**
    We came in mid-story.
    I want more details!
**[01:51] ---**
    Ask about them while we're en route.
**[01:53] ---**
    Let's go as fast as we can...
    to the battlefield!
**[03:29] ---**
    *Kakashi vs. Obito*
    
    
**[03:44] ---**
    Then why do you work with Sasuke?
**[03:52] ---**
    Because I exist to protect him.
**[03:59] ---**
    Sasuke! There are other Tailed Beasts
    inside that huge one!
**[04:03] ---**
    Once it's weakened,
    shut off your Black Flames!
**[04:06] ---**
    Then Kurama and I will
    pull them out of it!
**[04:08] ---**
    No.
**[04:09] ---**
    They all burn.
**[04:12] ---**
    Hey! Don't you get it?
**[04:14] ---**
    If we don't save them now,
**[04:16] ---**
    we'll end up facing
    a lot of trouble later on!
**[04:20] ---**
    *I'm going to put an end to*
    *this failing system currently in place!*
**[04:27] ---**
    *And then, a new...*
**[04:42] ---**
    *It detached the piece of itself*
    *that was on fire!*
**[04:54] ---**
    Sakura... Can I ask you something?
**[04:59] ---**
    Since I don't know him very well,
    I can look at this objectively.
**[05:04] ---**
    Sasuke cannot be trusted
    as a true comrade.
**[05:07] ---**
    What are your true feelings
    on the matter, Sakura?
**[05:14] ---**
    Don't worry,
    Sasuke has come back to us.
**[05:18] ---**
    I'm happy about that.
    And I do trust him.
**[05:25] ---**
    *Your words may not be lies...*
**[05:29] ---**
    *But...*
**[05:31] ---**
    *I can already tell that*
    *your smile is fake.*
**[05:39] ---**
    What's up, Shikamaru?
**[05:44] ---**
    It's nothing...
**[06:10] ---**
    Obito...
**[06:12] ---**
    Enough of these tricks...
**[06:14] ---**
    I'm over it.
**[06:19] ---**
    No more genjutsu.
**[06:23] ---**
    Looks like I can't find anything
    that will change you.
**[06:30] ---**
    Right now, all I can give you...
**[06:35] ---**
    ...is death.
**[06:39] ---**
    Then I shall do the same.
**[06:44] ---**
    Come!
**[06:53] ---**
    *All right!*
**[06:54] ---**
    *Shinobi Hand-to-Hand Combat!*
**[06:57] ---**
    *Begin!*
**[08:31] ---**
    I'm going to borrow this.
**[08:39] ---**
    *Fire Style...*
**[08:40] ---**
    *Fireball Jutsu!*
**[08:44] ---**
    *Earth Style...*
**[08:45] ---**
    *Mud Wall!*
**[09:20] ---**
    *The real one is here!*
**[09:43] ---**
    *Hand-to-hand combat is over.*
    *Kakashi wins.*
**[09:47] ---**
    *Now perform the Unison Sign.*
**[10:00] ---**
    *Obito...*
**[10:01] ---**
    *Your once strong will is*
    *still alive today, right next to me!*
**[10:06] ---**
    *What the current me can do*
    *is protect the current Naruto!*
**[10:13] ---**
    *You will...*
**[10:15] ---**
    *Actually, everyone will*
    *eventually end up just like me.*
**[10:25] ---**
    *Sasuke is a Rogue Ninja.*
    *Standard procedure is to erase him.*
**[10:31] ---**
    *I'll bring back Sasuke!*
**[10:33] ---**
    *Someone who can't even save*
    *one of their friends*
**[10:36] ---**
    *could never become Hokage!*
**[10:38] ---**
    *I'm going to surpass every Hokage*
    *who came before me!*
**[10:42] ---**
    - *I'd never kill any of my friends!*
    - *I'd never kill any of my friends!*
**[10:47] ---**
    *Naruto... You never waver.*
**[10:51] ---**
    *You're stronger than me and*
**[10:53] ---**
    *you have many things*
    *that are solely yours.*
**[10:56] ---**
    *This is all I can do right now.*
**[11:00] ---**
    *And that is...*
**[11:04] ---**
    *to protect this world, my comrades...*
**[11:10] ---**
    *and the Obito of the past...*
**[11:13] ---**
    *by killing...*
**[11:19] ---**
    *the current Obito!*
**[12:09] ---**
    It's over, Obito.
**[12:22] ---**
    I'll let you win...
**[12:26] ---**
    this battle.
**[12:31] ---**
    But I'm not conceding the war!
**[12:54] ---**
    I thought I told you.
    I have no intention of fighting a clone.
**[12:58] ---**
    You can come at me with them,
    but they offer no resistance at all.
**[13:02] ---**
    You're concentrating too much power
    in your actual body.
**[13:09] ---**
    Madara... All the time, you kept
    holding something back...
**[13:17] ---**
    That's...
**[13:27] ---**
    *Looks like that's of no use*
    *to me anymore.*
**[13:31] ---**
    *I wanted to fight Hashirama*
    *before I became a Jinchuriki...*
**[13:36] ---**
    *I guess I have no choice.*
**[13:45] ---**
    *M-My body!*
**[13:48] ---**
    *It's time to make him bring me back*
    *with Rinne Rebirth!*
**[14:26] ---**
    *That's...!*
**[14:33] ---**
    Obito...
**[14:35] ---**
    You're just a backup that
    I had cultivated for my rebirth.
**[14:41] ---**
    *You saved me, Gramps?*
**[14:44] ---**
    *Thank you.*
**[14:46] ---**
    *It's too early to thank me.*
**[14:49] ---**
    *I intend to have you...*
**[14:51] ---**
    ...repay your debt.
**[14:53] ---**
    That time is now.
**[15:00] ---**
    *He's being controlled by*
    *Madara's chakra!*
**[15:07] ---**
    *The Six Paths Forbidden...*
**[15:09] ---**
    *Rinne Rebirth Jutsu?*
**[15:12] ---**
    *Madara... He must not be allowed*
    *to fully return to life!*
**[15:17] ---**
    Lads!
**[15:18] ---**
    You're all closer!
**[15:20] ---**
    Stop the jutsu of the one
    on top of the Ten Tails right now!
**[15:23] ---**
    Okay! Got—
**[15:26] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[15:31] ---**
    I see...
**[15:33] ---**
    So that's how it is.
**[15:43] ---**
    *Is this the maximum amount*
    *I can make inside this barrier?*
**[15:47] ---**
    Tobirama!
**[15:48] ---**
    Okay!
**[15:50] ---**
    *Shadow Clone Jutsu!*
**[15:54] ---**
    Only two.
**[15:56] ---**
    Is this also the best I can do?
**[15:58] ---**
    We'll just have to make do with this!
**[16:02] ---**
    They can't get to Obito in time,
    so they're going to attack me...
**[16:08] ---**
    They should know by now
    that I can't be stopped with clones.
**[16:24] ---**
    That's enough, Aoda!
    You can get out of here!
**[16:27] ---**
    Yes, Lord Sasuke!
**[17:30] ---**
    *You won't always be*
    *like this either, right?*
**[17:34] ---**
    *Don't give up.*
**[17:38] ---**
    *You love Rin, don't you?*
**[17:45] ---**
    *We'll both become Hokage.*
**[17:50] ---**
    *Right, Obito?*
**[18:01] ---**
    Sensei...
**[18:05] ---**
    Obito!
**[18:14] ---**
    That...was you?
**[18:31] ---**
    Which one is he?
**[18:35] ---**
    What a failure!
**[18:38] ---**
    But...oh well!
**[18:41] ---**
    Did they succeed?!
**[18:42] ---**
    That's Lord Fourth Hokage!
**[18:48] ---**
    *He teleported a Shadow Clone.*
**[18:51] ---**
    *Had he marked him already?*
**[18:59] ---**
    A Flying Raijin marking
    never disappears.
**[19:03] ---**
    I didn't teach you that, did I, Obito?
**[19:12] ---**
    *If you were alive,*
**[19:13] ---**
    *I would have wanted you*
    *to become Hokage...*
**[19:16] ---**
    *Why did you...?*
**[19:20] ---**
    That was disappointing...
**[19:22] ---**
    All that's left to do is to seal
    the un-reborn Madara...
**[19:27] ---**
    and this war will be over.
**[19:30] ---**
    As well as this giant thing.
**[19:33] ---**
    What makes you think
    the war is over...
**[19:37] ---**
    my fellow traitor?
**[20:00] ---**
    Dad! Sasuke!
**[20:07] ---**
    Gamakichi!
**[20:08] ---**
    Okay!
**[20:15] ---**
    What? What's happening?!
**[20:18] ---**
    Is the Ten Tails changing
    form again?
**[20:24] ---**
    No, that's not what's happening!
**[20:26] ---**
    He shook off Madara's manipulation and
**[20:28] ---**
    was weaving the signs
    to do this from the beginning!
**[20:44] ---**
    That's...
**[20:55] ---**
    ...the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki!
**[22:36] ---**
    Oh! I really want to know
    what happens next!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    But the next episode will
    be a little breather.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    It's an "Extra Edition!"
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Pain and Itachi appear again!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Even more, Deidara and
    Pervy Sage appear
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    and cause a big ruckus
    in the Leaf Village!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    What kind of a story is this?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    "Extra Edition: The Directive to
    Take the Nine Tails!"
    
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Just what in the world are you?
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:32] ---**
    *Extra Edition: The Directive to*
    *Take the Nine Tails*
    
    
**[02:12] ---**
    This should surprise
    those inefficient Akatsuki.
**[02:36] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru, there's an overload!
**[02:39] ---**
    The system won't hold!
**[02:41] ---**
    It's fine!
**[02:42] ---**
    This is excellent!
**[02:50] ---**
    Yes!
**[02:55] ---**
    Now stand!
**[02:58] ---**
    Take the Nine Tails from
    the child of the Fourth...
**[03:01] ---**
    I can't control it!
**[03:02] ---**
    You're going to be
    the ultimate existence...
**[03:05] ---**
    ...that surpasses the Jinchuriki!
**[03:09] ---**
    W-What are you doing?
**[03:12] ---**
    I am your creator...
**[03:22] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[03:31] ---**
    After I've come this far...
**[03:33] ---**
    Please get to safety, Lord Orochimaru!
**[03:35] ---**
    Hurry!
**[04:19] ---**
    Curse that Orochimaru...
**[04:21] ---**
    Not only did he desert the Akatsuki,
**[04:24] ---**
    he stole the blueprint of
    the Gedo Statue and made this thing...
**[04:28] ---**
    So this is to capture
    the Tailed Beast, after all...
**[04:32] ---**
    I wasn't able to ascertain
    all of its gimmicks,
**[04:35] ---**
    but I restored its movements.
**[04:38] ---**
    And added a couple
    of extra features.
**[04:48] ---**
    Now this thing is ours to control.
**[04:52] ---**
    Itachi, go capture the Nine Tails.
**[05:25] ---**
    Hm? You haven't been back
    to the village in ages.
**[05:28] ---**
    Don't you want to go and say hello?
**[05:31] ---**
    I'm not interested right now.
**[05:45] ---**
    All right! It's all here!
**[05:47] ---**
    The assorted offal is here!
**[05:49] ---**
    Oh, and waitress?
**[05:51] ---**
    Yes?
**[05:51] ---**
    Another plate of skirt steak
    and loin meat!
**[05:53] ---**
    – Skirt steak and loin, okay!
    – Oh, and these...
**[05:55] ---**
    Can you take them away?
**[05:57] ---**
    Certainly!
**[05:57] ---**
    Hey, you know, even if
    this is on Asuma...
**[06:01] ---**
    I don't think it's right to start
    before our host gets here.
**[06:07] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[06:10] ---**
    He probably stopped by Kurenai Sensei's
    place and forgot all about us.
**[06:15] ---**
    Did you know that Kakashi Sensei
    hasn't left Naruto's side at all?
**[06:21] ---**
    Naruto's really doing his best.
**[06:25] ---**
    For Naruto, it's more like...
**[06:31] ---**
    Ninja Art: Beast Mimicry!
    Man Beast Clone!
**[06:35] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[06:41] ---**
    *I am not going to lose to him!*
**[06:44] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[06:49] ---**
    *I'm ready. I can go at any time.*
**[06:53] ---**
    *It's because I'm tired*
    *of being left behind.*
**[06:59] ---**
    *Even if I can't stand next to him...*
**[07:02] ---**
    *I want to get to the point*
    *where I can follow close behind Naruto...*
**[07:09] ---**
    You made Food Pills today too?
**[07:13] ---**
    I figured I'd cheer him on by giving
    him some nutrition at least.
**[07:17] ---**
    You can have one if you like.
**[07:18] ---**
    No thank you...
**[07:22] ---**
    You're holding up well.
**[07:24] ---**
    What is it about him that
    makes you go so far?
**[07:44] ---**
    SIT
    
    I'm counting on you, Yamato.
**[07:46] ---**
    You have to keep the Nine Tails' chakra
    inside of Naruto in check.
**[07:51] ---**
    So far, it's stable.
**[07:53] ---**
    I've got to do this!
**[07:56] ---**
    Damn it!
**[07:57] ---**
    I can't be wasting time like this.
**[08:01] ---**
    I've got to keep going...
**[08:03] ---**
    I've got to keep going...
**[08:05] ---**
    More!
**[08:26] ---**
    Go to Naruto!
**[08:39] ---**
    What? What happened?!
**[08:40] ---**
    Is everyone all right?
**[08:42] ---**
    This is...
**[08:49] ---**
    – Who are you?!
    – Don't move!
**[08:56] ---**
    If that's the case, I'll...
**[08:57] ---**
    This is bad!
**[09:02] ---**
    Naruto!
**[09:04] ---**
    Huh?
**[09:07] ---**
    Please come quick!
**[09:18] ---**
    Even Neji is having a hard time!
**[09:21] ---**
    Who the hell are you?
**[09:28] ---**
    How dare you do this to
    everyone in the village...
**[09:29] ---**
    You're fighting me now!
**[09:31] ---**
    Be careful. He's strong!
**[09:34] ---**
    Yes... Even I was no match for him.
**[09:38] ---**
    Yeah, but I'm in the middle
    of training and I'm busy.
**[09:41] ---**
    I'm not going to waste any time on him.
**[09:44] ---**
    I'll take care of him in one blow!
**[09:47] ---**
    Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[09:57] ---**
    Here I come!
**[10:04] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:08] ---**
    This guy's strong!
**[10:12] ---**
    Why you—!
**[10:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:22] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:42] ---**
    N-Naruto...?
**[10:45] ---**
    He certainly looks like Naruto.
**[10:48] ---**
    Our friend's a Mecha Naruto!
**[10:50] ---**
    Don't call the enemy a friend!
**[10:51] ---**
    Naruto!
**[10:53] ---**
    This is a one-on-one match!
**[10:56] ---**
    Hey, Mecha-Me.
**[10:59] ---**
    I don't know who made you, but...
**[11:01] ---**
    I'm not going to lose to a fake...
**[11:04] ---**
    Huh?
**[11:05] ---**
    Wait a minute. I'm not using
    the Nine Tails' chakra!
**[11:09] ---**
    Hey, what're you doing?!
**[11:18] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[11:19] ---**
    I think that guy is extracting
    the Nine Tails' chakra out of Naruto.
**[11:25] ---**
    If this continues...
**[11:27] ---**
    Against the enormous power
    of the Nine Tails' chakra, Naruto will...
**[11:30] ---**
    This isn't good...
**[11:35] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[11:39] ---**
    It's tiny!
**[11:40] ---**
    Damn it!
    Mini Rasengan!
**[11:44] ---**
    I don't have any strength...
**[11:48] ---**
    Lightning Blade!
**[11:53] ---**
    The flow of the Nine Tails' chakra
    has stopped.
**[11:56] ---**
    I see... In order to extract
    the Nine Tails' chakra,
**[11:59] ---**
    he needs to be within
    a certain distance.
**[12:01] ---**
    Then we'll draw Naruto away
    from him!
**[12:15] ---**
    FOUND HIM
**[12:36] ---**
    How come...?
**[12:38] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[12:39] ---**
    Only ANBU know about
    this secret underground passage.
**[12:44] ---**
    Huh?! Damn that guy!
**[12:45] ---**
    I'm not kidding! I'll pulverize him!
**[12:47] ---**
    Hey, don't get so excited!
**[12:50] ---**
    Did he find us?
**[12:51] ---**
    He's probably just attacking blindly.
**[12:54] ---**
    Let me at him, Kakashi Sensei!
**[12:56] ---**
    Otherwise, the village will destroyed!
**[13:15] ---**
    Run!
**[13:20] ---**
    You're right. He's just attacking
    anything in sight.
**[13:25] ---**
    Naruto, you can't beat him.
**[13:28] ---**
    Right now, the only thing
    we can do is run away.
**[13:41] ---**
    No!
**[13:42] ---**
    Look at the destruction!
**[13:48] ---**
    I'm telling you, I'll win for sure!
**[13:50] ---**
    Listen... He's not only taking
    the Nine Tails' chakra!
**[13:55] ---**
    Neji used his Byakugan to
    look inside his body,
**[13:58] ---**
    and confirmed what seems to be
    the Eight Trigrams Sealing Formula.
**[14:01] ---**
    In other words, that thing's also
    a vessel to seal the Nine Tails.
**[14:06] ---**
    He intends to suck out your chakra,
**[14:09] ---**
    weaken you,
    and then capture the Nine Tails.
**[14:12] ---**
    In other words...
**[14:13] ---**
    if the Nine Tails is taken
    from you, you will die.
**[14:18] ---**
    A replacement vessel for Naruto...
**[14:21] ---**
    To go through the trouble of making it
    look just like Naruto is morbid.
**[14:25] ---**
    Damn!
**[14:27] ---**
    He lost sight of you and disappeared.
**[14:31] ---**
    His whereabouts are unknown,
**[14:33] ---**
    but he's sure to appear
    when you show up.
**[14:37] ---**
    When that happens,
    the village will become a battlefield.
**[14:42] ---**
    So what're you trying to tell me?
**[14:44] ---**
    Leave the village, Naruto!
**[14:46] ---**
    Are you getting rid of me?!
**[14:48] ---**
    Silence!
**[14:50] ---**
    Let me finish!
**[14:53] ---**
    We'll use Naruto to lure that
    guy out of the village,
**[14:57] ---**
    and then bring him down.
**[14:59] ---**
    However, we can't let
    Naruto get close.
**[15:02] ---**
    Can you do it?
**[15:04] ---**
    That's a tough question...
**[15:06] ---**
    But we have to do it.
**[15:08] ---**
    Naturally, we need Yamato to
    control the Nine Tails' chakra.
**[15:12] ---**
    Then besides me,
**[15:14] ---**
    we'll need Sensory-type ninja
    and long-distance combat specialists.
**[15:27] ---**
    Man, what a fancy palanquin!
**[15:29] ---**
    I didn't know you rode on something
    so fancy, Granny Tsunade!
**[15:32] ---**
    The Feudal Lord gave it to me
    for diplomatic purposes.
**[15:36] ---**
    It's not my style,
    so I've never used it.
**[15:39] ---**
    Yamato, ride in this palanquin
    with Naruto,
**[15:41] ---**
    suppress the Nine Tails' chakra
    and don't let it leak out.
**[15:45] ---**
    Understood.
**[15:46] ---**
    But if that thing comes within
    close proximity,
**[15:49] ---**
    the chakra will leak out,
    no matter what I do.
**[15:53] ---**
    There's no way I'll let it get near him.
**[15:55] ---**
    To make sure that doesn't happen...
**[15:57] ---**
    – We're here!
    – We're here!
**[16:03] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[16:04] ---**
    Hey!
**[16:05] ---**
    Neji!
**[16:07] ---**
    Choji!
**[16:08] ---**
    All the members from that time
    are back together again.
**[16:11] ---**
    Kiba!
**[16:12] ---**
    So? Are you surprised?
**[16:14] ---**
    Well, I knew that you'd be here, but...
**[16:19] ---**
    Um...
**[16:20] ---**
    You want to get back
    to training, right, Naruto?
**[16:25] ---**
    It's a drag, but we'll help you out.
**[16:34] ---**
    How come I'm stuck in this cramped space
    with you, Yamato Sensei?
**[16:37] ---**
    You took the words
    right out of my mouth.
**[16:40] ---**
    We're palanquin bearers?!
**[16:42] ---**
    Listen!
**[16:43] ---**
    About this Mecha Naruto...
**[16:47] ---**
    Until you destroy Mecha Naruto,
    don't even think about returning!
**[16:51] ---**
    Now go!
**[16:55] ---**
    W-What's this Mecha Naruto?!
**[17:04] ---**
    I knew I was going to be left behind again.
**[17:08] ---**
    That's because my beetles told me.
**[17:17] ---**
    It's coming!
**[17:20] ---**
    That guy...can fly?!
**[17:29] ---**
    SICK
**[17:38] ---**
    MISSILE
**[17:41] ---**
    He fired a big one this time!
**[17:43] ---**
    This is bad!
    That thing is bad!
**[17:45] ---**
    Leave it to me!
**[17:46] ---**
    Shino?!
**[17:48] ---**
    That's because I've had it
    with being the only one...
**[17:52] ---**
    – Shino!
    – Shino!
**[17:55] ---**
    ...left behind!
**[18:05] ---**
    What?!
**[18:16] ---**
    TEAM 8 SHINO ABURAME
    OUT OF COMMISSION
**[18:22] ---**
    Aw, stop it, will you?!
    That face of yours!!
**[18:25] ---**
    – I'm okay...
    – Stop! Stop it!
**[18:27] ---**
    I'm not sick...
    I'm really not sick!
**[18:29] ---**
    Are you sure?
**[18:35] ---**
    Mid-air 150 meters!
**[18:36] ---**
    He's hurling Mecha Bombs!
**[18:40] ---**
    The forest! Run into the forest!
**[18:51] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei, switch with me!
**[18:53] ---**
    What's going on?
**[18:54] ---**
    We'll bring him down... With shadows!
**[19:02] ---**
    FOUND HIM
**[19:15] ---**
    He's going wild.
**[19:19] ---**
    Keep shooting! Come on.
**[19:22] ---**
    Come on!
**[19:32] ---**
    Shadow Possession Jutsu...
**[19:39] ---**
    Success!
**[19:41] ---**
    And now...

    Ninja Art!
**[19:44] ---**
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
**[19:56] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:02] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:04] ---**
    Huh?!
**[20:08] ---**
    The shadow broke!
**[20:26] ---**
    I-I need more shadows...
**[20:30] ---**
    TEAM 10 SHIKAMARU NARA

    Shikamaru...
**[20:42] ---**
    Mecha Naruto...is coming!
**[20:44] ---**
    Being in the palanquin
    is more dangerous!
**[20:53] ---**
    Shizune, request assistance
    from the Sand.
**[20:55] ---**
    Tell them Naruto is in serious trouble!
**[20:59] ---**
    We will not let him have Naruto!
**[22:39] ---**
    The next episode is
    the conclusion!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    My comrades fell one by one
    to protect me.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    You're after the Nine Tails
    inside me, aren't you?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    If that's the case,
    I'll fight you!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    I'll never forgive you!

    Choji! Kiba!
**[03:09] ---**
    Wait... Then who's in front right now?
**[03:11] ---**
    No one's there!
**[03:15] ---**
    Hold on!
**[03:28] ---**
    Are you okay?!
**[03:31] ---**
    Nine Tails' chakra is leaking!
**[03:33] ---**
    I was trying so hard not to throw up,
    so I used Nine Tails' chakra...
**[03:38] ---**
    And what were you doing?!
**[03:40] ---**
    Sorry!
**[03:42] ---**
    He's coming, Neji!
**[03:45] ---**
    *I was not chosen merely*
     *to search out the enemy...*
**[03:48] ---**
    *but because I have*
    *this absolute defense!*
**[03:51] ---**
    Rotation!
**[04:15] ---**
    Good! If he stays inside
    your rotation,
**[04:18] ---**
    the Nine Tails' chakra
    can't be sucked out!
**[04:23] ---**
    *On your mark!*
**[04:25] ---**
    *Get set!*
**[04:31] ---**
    What is going on?
**[04:38] ---**
    What speed!
**[04:44] ---**
    Wha—?!
**[04:49] ---**
    The Mecha Naruto overtook
    the rotation?!
**[05:05] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[05:12] ---**
    It's so beautiful...

    ATMOSPHERIC BREAKTHROUGH
**[05:29] ---**
    Let me fight too, Kakashi Sensei!
**[05:33] ---**
    If we team up,
    we can take him down!
**[05:36] ---**
    No!
**[05:37] ---**
    It's not just your problem
    if the Nine Tails is captured.
**[05:40] ---**
    The very existence of
    the village is at stake!
**[05:43] ---**
    Naruto!
**[05:45] ---**
    My existence is at stake too!
**[05:47] ---**
    Hey!
**[05:52] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[05:54] ---**
    Sit still for a while!
**[05:57] ---**
    I'll show you the true essence
    of the Copy Ninja.
**[06:06] ---**
    Can't do it...
**[06:07] ---**
    That might be...impossible.
**[06:10] ---**
    *Idiot...idiot...*
    *Are you an idiot?*
**[06:16] ---**
    Damn it!

    TEAM 7 TEAM LEADER
    KAKASHI HATAKE
**[06:21] ---**
    NOTHING GOOD ABOUT HIM
**[06:24] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[06:28] ---**
    Who the hell are...you?
**[06:31] ---**
    What are you?
**[06:33] ---**
    Nine Tails...
**[06:35] ---**
    You can talk?
**[06:36] ---**
    Give me...Nine Tails.
**[06:41] ---**
    Like hell I will!
**[06:44] ---**
    Nine Tails...
**[06:46] ---**
    I want it! Give it to me!
**[06:50] ---**
    Damn it!
**[06:51] ---**
    I don't have...any strength...
**[06:57] ---**
    I can't afford to die here!
**[07:07] ---**
    You?!
**[07:11] ---**
    I am Gaara of the Sand.
**[07:13] ---**
    An ally of the Leaf.
**[07:19] ---**
    Gaara!
**[07:20] ---**
    The Hokage should have relied
    on me from the very start.
**[07:24] ---**
    Long-distance battles and
    the ultimate defense...
**[07:26] ---**
    This is precisely
    my kind of mission.
**[07:30] ---**
    And most of all,
    machines are vulnerable to sand.
**[07:32] ---**
    Don't want...One Tails...
    I want Nine Tails!
**[07:37] ---**
    One Tails is no longer inside me.
**[07:40] ---**
    However...I cannot let you
    have Naruto's Nine Tails!
**[07:44] ---**
    As the Kazekage...and...
**[07:46] ---**
    as Naruto's friend!
**[07:48] ---**
    Gaara! You are so cool, you know!
**[07:52] ---**
    Sand—!
**[07:53] ---**
    Hey, if it isn't Mr. Gaara!
**[07:55] ---**
    So you're here to pick up
    the pieces
**[07:57] ---**
    after the Nine Tails
    is captured? Hmm?
**[08:00] ---**
    What? The Nine Tails' chakra
    hasn't been extracted yet?
**[08:04] ---**
    Weren't you supposed to be
    the new hope for the Akatsuki?
**[08:08] ---**
    Huh?
**[08:09] ---**
    You're a member of Akatsuki?
**[08:11] ---**
    Nine Tails... Nine Tails.
    I don't want One Tails...
**[08:18] ---**
    Did you hear that, Gaara!
**[08:19] ---**
    Even the Mecha doesn't want you.
**[08:22] ---**
    How sad... So sad...
**[08:26] ---**
    Is it any wonder you lost to me
**[08:28] ---**
    and got your Tailed Beast
    taken away? Hmm?
**[08:31] ---**
    You're as weak as a baby...
**[08:33] ---**
    You really need some cheering up.
    Yup, yup.
**[08:36] ---**
    Gaara... Gaara...
    Cheer up and smile...
**[08:40] ---**
    Gaara... Gaara... Gaara.
**[08:42] ---**
    LOVE
**[08:43] ---**
    ANGER
**[08:44] ---**
    You're dead!
**[08:51] ---**
    Sand Prison!
**[08:52] ---**
    All you had to do was give
    a little squeeze...
**[08:56] ---**
    A little squeeze was
    all you had to do...
**[08:59] ---**
    A squeeze...
**[09:00] ---**
    THE KAZEKAGE GAARA
    DESERTED THE BATTLE
**[09:09] ---**
    I...I'm getting out of here!
**[09:19] ---**
    This is...?!
**[09:22] ---**
    The Akatsuki have some nerve!
**[09:25] ---**
    I'm the one who created this child...
**[09:28] ---**
    But they stole him.
**[09:30] ---**
    Orochimaru?
**[09:33] ---**
    Ninja Art: Snake Mouth Trap...
**[09:35] ---**
    I summoned the inside of
    a giant snake's stomach.
**[09:37] ---**
    Where's Sasuke?
**[09:38] ---**
    I'm sorry...
**[09:40] ---**
    But I thought I'd settle this debt
    all by myself.
**[09:45] ---**
    *He was with me earlier,*
    *but he ditched me!*
**[09:48] ---**
    *It's so annoying!*
**[09:55] ---**
    But now, I have custody
    of this child once more.
**[09:59] ---**
    Do as I say, okay?
**[10:03] ---**
    Now take the Nine Tails!
**[10:05] ---**
    If I'm able to possess Sasuke
    and the Nine Tails,
**[10:07] ---**
    I will have nothing to fear
    in this world!
**[10:12] ---**
    Aren't you forgetting one thing?
**[10:14] ---**
    One of the feared Legendary Sannin...
**[10:17] ---**
    ...your dear friend?
**[10:18] ---**
    Pervy Sage!
**[10:19] ---**
    Is this a rip-off of
    my Toad Mouth Trap, Orochimaru?
**[10:24] ---**
    Yes...
**[10:25] ---**
    And thanks to that,
    Naruto cannot escape.
**[10:29] ---**
    My child, fill your stomach
    to your heart's content
**[10:32] ---**
    with the Nine Tails' honey.
**[10:36] ---**
    Long time no see!
**[10:39] ---**
    This brawl belongs to...
**[10:41] ---**
    the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku,
    a.k.a. the Novelist...
**[10:45] ---**
    Jiraiya!
**[10:50] ---**
    Let's go outside, Orochimaru!
**[10:54] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[11:09] ---**
    Ninja Art: Reversible Jutsu!
**[11:20] ---**
    What?!
**[11:23] ---**
    Digest...
**[11:28] ---**
    Pervy Sage...
**[11:29] ---**
    What happened to Pervy Sage...?!
**[11:32] ---**
    THE SAGE JIRAIYA
    
    
    
**[11:33] ---**
    THE SAGE JIRAIYA
    
    Eventually, he'll come out
    looking like that...
**[11:36] ---**
    P@@P
**[11:41] ---**
    Now then, Naruto...
**[11:43] ---**
    Why don't you hand over
    the Nine Tails to me?
**[11:46] ---**
    My child!
**[11:50] ---**
    What am I going to do?
**[11:51] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[11:53] ---**
    I can come out, you know...
**[11:59] ---**
    Sit tight a little longer.
**[12:19] ---**
    Why? Why is it...?
**[12:35] ---**
    My child has sucked up
    most of the Nine Tails' chakra...
**[12:39] ---**
    You're facing a massive amount
    of chakra...
**[12:42] ---**
    Why aren't you giving up?
**[12:45] ---**
    Like I told you...
**[12:46] ---**
    I can't afford to die here.
**[13:08] ---**
    Go... It's over...
**[13:11] ---**
    I can't even bleed anymore...
**[13:14] ---**
    Are you sure?
**[13:16] ---**
    Well, you're weak...
    So I guess it can't be helped.
**[13:23] ---**
    It's not because
    it can't be helped.
**[13:26] ---**
    I'm weak...
**[13:27] ---**
    That's why I...
**[13:30] ---**
    That's why I came back to the village
    to train and get strong and...
**[13:35] ---**
    This time, for sure...
**[14:07] ---**
    This time...
**[14:09] ---**
    I'll get definitely Sasuke back.
**[14:15] ---**
    For Sasuke's sake!
**[14:19] ---**
    For Sasuke's sake...
**[14:29] ---**
    The Nine Tails' chakra...
**[14:32] ---**
    Even if that power is exhausted...
**[14:35] ---**
    For Sasuke's sake...
**[14:36] ---**
    If you think of Sasuke as a friend,
    no matter what...
**[14:42] ---**
    Naruto...
**[14:43] ---**
    In the same way that
    you consider Sasuke a friend,
**[14:46] ---**
    this guy shall be your friend.
**[14:49] ---**
    I'm sorry for testing you.
**[14:51] ---**
    However, if the Nine Tails
    should go on a rampage,
**[14:54] ---**
    this guy will take the fall for you.
**[14:57] ---**
    Be there for Sasuke,
    the both of you.
**[15:02] ---**
    This guy...is my friend
**[15:08] ---**
    The Nine Tails' tails...
**[15:10] ---**
    But I'm still in control...
**[15:13] ---**
    What's going on, my child?
**[15:15] ---**
    I am your parent...
    Yet you're turning against me?!
**[15:18] ---**
    Friend...
**[15:21] ---**
    Yeah, we bonded with our fists
    and know the pain of true friendship!
**[15:31] ---**
    Striking Shadow Snake!
**[15:39] ---**
    Stop!
**[15:43] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf can just...
    get destroyed!
**[16:06] ---**
    A mechanical Nine Tails?
**[16:09] ---**
    A Mecha Nine Tails?!
**[16:17] ---**
    What the—?!
**[16:19] ---**
    The second destruction...
    of the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[16:27] ---**
    UNITE
**[16:29] ---**
    H-Hey!
**[16:31] ---**
    Mecha-Me!
**[16:32] ---**
    I'll go...
**[16:34] ---**
    Huh?
**[16:35] ---**
    I'll go to Hidden Leaf Village.
**[16:39] ---**
    All right.
**[16:41] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Mecha-Me.
**[16:49] ---**
    When you lose to me,
    and I get the Tailed Beast...
**[16:51] ---**
    our rankings will be decided!
**[16:53] ---**
    Hmm! You can never beat me!
**[16:57] ---**
    I'll just reverse it...right now!
**[16:59] ---**
    Sand Tsunami!
**[17:03] ---**
    I said it's impossible...!
**[17:13] ---**
    Naruto... Why aren't you here
    at a time like this...?
**[17:20] ---**
    Naruto, hurry!
**[17:22] ---**
    Please, Naruto!
**[17:35] ---**
    It's okay! It's me, Sakura.
**[17:39] ---**
    Face open!
**[17:42] ---**
    Naruto?!
**[17:48] ---**
    You protect that flower, Sakura.
**[17:51] ---**
    And I'll protect the Sakura...
**[17:53] ---**
    who protects that flower...
**[17:58] ---**
    Did you eat something spoiled?
**[18:15] ---**
    Did you do it?!
**[18:16] ---**
    It's impossible.
**[18:17] ---**
    Mecha Nine Tails...
**[18:18] ---**
    is made with the same materials
    as I am.
**[18:20] ---**
    If we hit each other,
    there's no damage.
**[18:24] ---**
    Only one way to it bring down...
**[18:27] ---**
    What do we do?
**[18:28] ---**
    Use every bit of Nine Tails' chakra
    inside me...and throw it at him.
**[18:34] ---**
    Mecha-Me!
**[18:35] ---**
    A Jinchuriki will die if
    the Tailed Beast is extracted!
**[18:40] ---**
    You're just like
    a Jinchuriki now, right?!
**[18:43] ---**
    If you use up all
    the Tailed Beast Chakra...
**[18:45] ---**
    Mecha-Me... You're gonna...!
**[18:49] ---**
    Ya know...
**[18:51] ---**
    Mecha-Me!
**[19:07] ---**
    Safety device released...
**[19:09] ---**
    Nine Tails Chakra Bomb...
**[19:11] ---**
    Firing!
**[19:13] ---**
    Stop!
**[19:15] ---**
    Mecha-Me!
**[19:45] ---**
    I'm so sorry, Mecha-Me...
**[19:50] ---**
    Thank you...
**[19:57] ---**
    Sakura...
**[19:59] ---**
    I kept my promise.
**[20:01] ---**
    I protected this flower...
**[20:04] ---**
    And you, Naruto...
    protected me...and the village.
**[20:07] ---**
    No...
**[20:08] ---**
    The one who protected the village is...
**[20:13] ---**
    I don't know what happened here, but...
**[20:17] ---**
    It's obvious to me that
    he fought and protected the village.
**[20:22] ---**
    I'm grateful.
**[20:27] ---**
    Now you can go back to training.
**[20:31] ---**
    Yeah...
**[20:32] ---**
    Granny... I'm counting on you
    to rebuild the village!
**[20:36] ---**
    Naruto!
**[20:41] ---**
    Thank you, Naruto!
**[20:45] ---**
    You guys!
**[20:58] ---**
    Oh, sorry...
**[22:37] ---**
    Hinata, did you see it?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Yes.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Can you tell explain
    what happened?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Yeah... The Ten Tails was completely
    absorbed into that man.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Its chakra too.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Then, does that mean...?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    That's the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Ten Tails' Jinchuriki"
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    He looks creepier than before!
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    THE TEN TAILS' JINCHURIKI
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:07] ---**
    That's the Ten Tails'...
    Jinchuriki!
**[01:41] ---**
    *The Ten Tails' Jinchuriki*
    
    
    
**[01:48] ---**
    The Ten Tails disappeared?
**[01:56] ---**
    What's going on?
    Did they defeat it?
**[01:58] ---**
    No...
**[02:00] ---**
    Hinata! Did you see it?
**[02:02] ---**
    Yeah!
**[02:03] ---**
    Can you explain
    what happened?
**[02:43] ---**
    Ten Tails was completely
    absorbed into that man.
**[02:48] ---**
    Based on looking at its chakra.
**[02:51] ---**
    Don't tell me...
**[03:06] ---**
    That's the Ten Tails'...
**[03:16] ---**
    Jinchuriki?
**[03:18] ---**
    *What is this?!*
**[03:22] ---**
    *This is bad.*
    *Jinchuriki, huh?*
**[03:37] ---**
    He looks even creepier
    than before!
**[03:41] ---**
    Obito...
**[03:43] ---**
    Naruto...
**[03:44] ---**
    How can you tell
    he's a Jinchuriki?
**[03:47] ---**
    I've become friends
    with the Tailed Beasts.
**[03:50] ---**
    They gave me some
    of their chakra earlier,
**[03:52] ---**
    so it's obvious to me.
**[03:55] ---**
    I could sense the Tailed Beasts' chakra
    getting sucked into Obito
**[03:58] ---**
    one after the other.
**[04:00] ---**
    Plus, I've seen Nagato do that
    Six Paths Rebirth Jutsu before.
**[04:07] ---**
    But the signs he was weaving
    were completely different!
**[04:11] ---**
    Anyway, he was performing
    the jutsu
**[04:14] ---**
    to become a Jinchuriki
    all this time.
**[04:16] ---**
    I see...
**[04:26] ---**
    Eight-o! Is that the final form?
**[04:30] ---**
    No, it's not.
**[04:32] ---**
    It's hard to explain,
    but that isn't it.
**[04:35] ---**
    Looks like Ten Tails was
    used to create a Jinchuriki
**[04:38] ---**
    before it reached its final form.
**[04:46] ---**
    *Even if you have become*
    *a Jinchuriki,*
**[04:49] ---**
    *the Gracious Deity Gates*
    *are still in play.*
**[04:55] ---**
    Whoa! Amazing!
**[05:02] ---**
    No...
**[05:45] ---**
    *The Sage Art Seal that*
    *suppressed the Ten Tails was...*
**[05:48] ---**
    *Such power...*
**[06:20] ---**
    What?!
**[06:41] ---**
    Impossible!
**[06:42] ---**
    The Four Crimson Rays Formation!
**[06:44] ---**
    Is it just me,
**[06:45] ---**
    or is he stronger than
    when he was gigantic?
**[06:48] ---**
    Before, it was just throwing
    its power around.
**[06:52] ---**
    But now, it's learned to focus it.
**[06:56] ---**
    Everyone, keep your guard up!
**[06:58] ---**
    We don't know what that man,
**[07:00] ---**
    who made the Ten Tails' power
    his own, might do!
**[07:04] ---**
    He's broken the barrier!
**[07:15] ---**
    Enough! Obito, stop this!
**[07:21] ---**
    O...bi...to?
**[07:30] ---**
    I'll be blunt.
    This guy is stronger than me!
**[07:34] ---**
    No offense,
    but it appears so.
**[07:38] ---**
    Even if you reabsorb
    your remaining clones,
**[07:40] ---**
    you're no match, Elder Brother!
**[07:41] ---**
    I know.
**[07:44] ---**
    However...
**[08:01] ---**
    It would be fun to watch
    all the Hokage beg for mercy,
**[08:05] ---**
    but I cannot wait any longer.
**[08:11] ---**
    *Obito is now just like*
    *the Sage of Six Paths.*
**[08:15] ---**
    *I can't let him take the lead*
    *before I use my trump card.*
**[08:35] ---**
    What's happened?
**[08:36] ---**
    *He's so fast!*
**[08:37] ---**
    Saru! Fourth! Scram!
**[08:40] ---**
    *This is Lord Second's attack plan!*
**[08:52] ---**
    – Elder Brother!
    – Mm-hmm!
**[08:54] ---**
    EXPLODE
**[08:58] ---**
    Minato, get away!
**[09:01] ---**
    Lord Second,
    you sure work fast!
**[09:03] ---**
    *Flying Raijin Jutsu!*
**[09:06] ---**
    I suspected that might
    not be enough to kill you...
**[09:09] ---**
    I created the Reanimation Jutsu,
**[09:11] ---**
    as well as ancillary jutsu
    to go with it.
**[09:15] ---**
    Though this is the first time
    I'm using it on myself.
**[09:22] ---**
    *There it is!*
    *The Lord Second's special...*
**[09:25] ---**
    *Tandem Explosive Tags!*
**[09:27] ---**
    This is how it's done!
**[09:29] ---**
    *Each tag summons more tags,*
    *resulting in continuous explosions.*
**[09:32] ---**
    *Concentrated and focused*
    *consecutive explosions!*
**[09:46] ---**
    This is too much!
    What's going on? I can't keep up!
**[09:49] ---**
    Don't freak out!
**[09:50] ---**
    Always keep one eye on
    what's happening around you!
**[10:01] ---**
    I don't care if that is
    the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails!
**[10:04] ---**
    The Lords Hokage are
    engaged in battle!
**[10:06] ---**
    We have to join them!
**[10:07] ---**
    Don't be hasty! We need to—!
**[10:08] ---**
    All of you!
    You must not approach heedlessly!
**[10:38] ---**
    What is he?
**[11:07] ---**
    *He's solid and swift.*
**[11:09] ---**
    *And he has an attack that*
    *turns all to dust in an instant!*
**[11:19] ---**
    Shuriken Shadow Clones!
**[11:31] ---**
    *It's similar to Ohnoki's Particle Style,*
    *but its shape is fluid.*
**[11:35] ---**
    *It can shift to be either*
    *offensive or defensive.*
**[11:38] ---**
    *And can be continuously maintained.*
**[11:43] ---**
    *I suspect it's a combination of more*
    *than four Changes in Chakra Nature!*
**[11:48] ---**
    *This is more than a Kekkei Genkai*
     *or even a Kekkei Touta...*
**[11:57] ---**
    *But there seems to be*
    *a time limit to how long*
**[11:59] ---**
    *he can use each*
    *Change in Chakra Form.*
**[12:07] ---**
    Gramps!
**[12:09] ---**
    Dad! You couldn't teleport
    Grandpa Third with your jutsu too?
**[12:14] ---**
    It's impossible. I can't teleport
    anything that I myself,
**[12:17] ---**
    or my chakra isn't touching directly.
**[12:20] ---**
    Calm down, Naruto.
**[12:21] ---**
    The Hokage are Reanimations.
**[12:24] ---**
    They intentionally attacked head-on
    knowing that they won't die,
**[12:26] ---**
    in order to check out
    the enemy's moves and abilities.
**[12:30] ---**
    Stop worrying and analyze
    the battle instead.
**[12:34] ---**
    *So that's Sasuke...*
    *He's extremely smart.*
**[12:38] ---**
    Although it still takes a while
    for a Reanimation to regenerate.
**[12:48] ---**
    I'll go first and create an opening!
**[12:51] ---**
    At this point, I feel the need to...
**[12:59] ---**
    I'm done waiting, Hashirama!
**[13:31] ---**
    W-What's going on?
**[13:40] ---**
    *I get it...*
**[13:41] ---**
    *Ten Tails hasn't completely*
    *synched with its Jinchuriki yet.*
**[13:45] ---**
    *This is our chance to take it down!*
**[13:48] ---**
    *I'll summon my original here then!*
**[13:51] ---**
    It's been a while, but it's time
**[13:53] ---**
    for my Rasen-Flash Super-Circle
    Dance Howl Stage Three!
**[14:02] ---**
    Gamakichi! Below you!
**[14:15] ---**
    He passed underground!
    It's just his upper body!
**[14:33] ---**
    Damn it!
**[14:47] ---**
    *Sasuke...*
**[14:56] ---**
    You're not the one...
**[15:02] ---**
    ...who's going to sever the past. I am!
**[15:14] ---**
    I hope this makes it in time!
**[15:15] ---**
    *Flying Raijin Jutsu!*
**[15:16] ---**
    *My markings on Obito disappeared?*
**[15:23] ---**
    Damn it!
**[15:39] ---**
    Owww...
**[15:40] ---**
    I thought we were going to die!
**[15:43] ---**
    *I can't teleport anything*
    *that I myself,*
**[15:46] ---**
    *or my chakra isn't*
    *touching directly.*
**[15:53] ---**
    *Looks like my boy is*
    *as accomplished as Sasuke.*
**[15:57] ---**
    Now then...
**[16:06] ---**
    He's just like a snake.
**[16:18] ---**
    What is that?
**[16:19] ---**
    We have to take him down
**[16:21] ---**
    while he's still unable
    to use his body well.
**[16:55] ---**
    Was he after your clone
    just now, Dad?
**[16:58] ---**
    No, I don't think that was it...
**[17:14] ---**
    What? What happened?!
**[17:17] ---**
    He hit himself with his own attack.
**[17:20] ---**
    His attack missed.
**[17:22] ---**
    Seems Obito's consciousness
    is merely clinging
**[17:24] ---**
    to Ten Tail's great power.
**[17:27] ---**
    He barely has any control over it.
**[17:29] ---**
    *I'm glad he missed us,*
**[17:31] ---**
    *because if it hit us,*
    *we'd be dead!*
**[17:34] ---**
    *We can't approach him carelessly.*
**[17:37] ---**
    This time, I'll get
**[17:38] ---**
    the Rasen-Flash Super-Circle
    Dance Howl Stage Three in for sure!
**[17:41] ---**
    I'll create an opening,
**[17:42] ---**
    so you two hit him immediately
    with your strongest combo!
**[17:47] ---**
    Rin...
**[17:56] ---**
    *Of course,*
    *I'm going to be the Hokage!*
**[18:00] ---**
    Rin!
**[18:11] ---**
    *And then...*
**[18:12] ---**
    *I won't have any time for girls!*
**[18:15] ---**
    *Right, Sensei?*
**[18:54] ---**
    Here I come, Obito!
**[19:00] ---**
    Who...are...you?
**[20:03] ---**
    Finally, Sensei...
**[20:16] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[20:21] ---**
    Dad!
**[20:22] ---**
    Naruto, focus!
**[20:25] ---**
    He got me, but I'm okay!
**[20:27] ---**
    I used Flying Raijin to escape.
**[20:31] ---**
    Are you sure about that?
**[20:34] ---**
    *When did he...?!*
**[20:35] ---**
    *I see! He attached it to me so*
    *it would teleport along with me!*
**[22:37] ---**
    Even a small power can be helpful,
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    because there may come
    a time when it will be needed.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    It all depends on how it's used.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Our power could change
    the course of this world.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    We can't afford to relax and
    let our guard down
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    even for one second!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "An Opening"
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Shikamaru, you would make
    a great Hokage.
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    AN OPENING
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *An Opening*
    
    
**[01:41] ---**
    *I'll have to teleport it away*
    *with me!*
**[01:58] ---**
    You can have this back.
**[02:08] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[02:09] ---**
    I only teleported a clone.
**[02:12] ---**
    I marked him that last time
    we were in contact.
**[02:22] ---**
    Amazing! You can copy
    my dad's move!
**[02:25] ---**
    Impressive,
    Second Great Stone Face-guy!
**[02:28] ---**
    Lord Fourth is using my move!
**[02:31] ---**
    And just call me "Lord Second"!
**[03:06] ---**
    Wood Style: Wood Dragon!
**[03:38] ---**
    Get out of my way, Madara!
**[03:40] ---**
    I don't have much time,
**[03:41] ---**
    but there's something
    I've got to do now!
**[03:47] ---**
    Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!
**[04:21] ---**
    I'm taking another chunk of you!
**[05:14] ---**
    A-Amazing!
**[05:15] ---**
    They're on a completely
    different level!
**[05:17] ---**
    So this is the battle capacity
    of our predecessors!
**[05:22] ---**
    If we went out there...
**[05:24] ---**
    we would just get
    in their way for sure.
**[05:37] ---**
    We're of no use in
    a battle like that.
**[05:45] ---**
    Ino, please!
**[05:47] ---**
    Got it.
**[05:53] ---**
    *Even a small power...*
    *can be helpful.*
**[05:57] ---**
    It's Shikamaru...
**[05:58] ---**
    *We may not be any help now,*
**[06:00] ---**
    *but there might come a time*
    *when we'll be needed.*
**[06:03] ---**
    *So don't take your eyes*
    *off the battlefield.*
**[06:06] ---**
    *For if such a time arrives...*
**[06:08] ---**
    *our power could change*
    *the course of this world!*
**[06:11] ---**
    *We can't afford to relax*
    *and let our guard down,*
**[06:14] ---**
    *even for one second!*
**[06:17] ---**
    That's right.
**[06:18] ---**
    He's got a point...
**[06:20] ---**
    – Yeah...
    – Yeah!
**[06:29] ---**
    *Shikamaru, you would make*
    *a great Hokage.*
**[06:38] ---**
    *The ability to sway people's hearts*
    *is practically a requisite of any Kage.*
**[07:03] ---**
    This is just like that time...
**[07:12] ---**
    *Madara, we were friends!*
**[07:16] ---**
    *And we shared the same dream!*
**[07:18] ---**
    *Hashirama!*
**[07:20] ---**
    *How long will you keep saying*
    *such juvenile things?*
**[07:35] ---**
    *It's just not possible to show*
    *our guts to each other!*
**[07:45] ---**
    *Hashirama!*
**[07:47] ---**
    *Madara!*
**[07:57] ---**
    The end result will be
    different, though...
**[08:32] ---**
    *So when are we supposed*
    *to make our move, Shikamaru?*
**[08:35] ---**
    *You should try to think*
    *for yourself a little.*
**[08:39] ---**
    But first, we need to figure out
    the circumstances of their battle.
**[08:43] ---**
    Also...
**[08:46] ---**
    *What's going on over there?*
**[08:55] ---**
    Did he get him?
**[09:14] ---**
    He blocked it, huh? He's fast.
**[09:18] ---**
    We won't be able to hit him
    with ordinary jutsu.
**[09:27] ---**
    I guess I'll have to make an opening
**[09:29] ---**
    with my Rasen-Flash Super-Circle
    Dance Howl Stage Three...
**[09:34] ---**
    You're a bit of a comedian,
    aren't you?
**[09:38] ---**
    I'd normally make fun
    of your jutsu names...
**[09:42] ---**
    Except this guy we're facing
    is absolutely no joke.
**[09:44] ---**
    *Amaterasu!*
**[09:49] ---**
    Sasuke! Naruto! I said
    I would create an opening for you!
**[09:53] ---**
    I'll do it!
**[09:54] ---**
    No, *we* will!
**[09:56] ---**
    We'll let Dad and the others
    be the main act!
**[10:00] ---**
    I could tell you were
    amassing chakra in your left eye.
**[10:03] ---**
    Hardly a surprise attack.
**[10:05] ---**
    Jeez!
**[10:08] ---**
    Let's go, Fourth.
**[10:10] ---**
    A clone's Flying Raijin
    is much slower.
**[10:14] ---**
    Let's combine and
    reciprocate our Flying Raijin.
**[10:17] ---**
    Go ahead and put your mark on me.
**[10:19] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[10:21] ---**
    Plus with these bodies,
    we can still move after being hit!
**[10:26] ---**
    Naruto, this time, I'll match
    your chakra level using my Sharingan.
**[10:31] ---**
    No need to turn it into a competition!
**[10:39] ---**
    – Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken!
    – Inferno Style: Flame Control!
**[10:52] ---**
    A pincer attack?
**[11:07] ---**
    *You two are the main act!*
**[11:09] ---**
    *Distracted by what's going on*
    *in front of you?*
**[11:11] ---**
    Now!
**[11:12] ---**
    – Reciprocal Round-Robin Jutsu!
    – Reciprocal Round-Robin Jutsu!
**[11:14] ---**
    – Flying Raijin Jutsu!
    – Flying Raijin Jutsu!
**[11:19] ---**
    I name it the Scorch Style
    Nimbus Tempest!
**[11:22] ---**
    Just keep on going as planned!
**[11:32] ---**
    *So they switched places*
    *with the Flying Raijin?!*
**[11:42] ---**
    Hinata! What's going on with
    Naruto and Sasuke?
**[11:57] ---**
    They're both...
**[12:01] ---**
    smiling...
**[12:08] ---**
    Smiling?
**[12:10] ---**
    Both of them?
**[12:11] ---**
    Yeah.
**[12:21] ---**
    All right!
**[12:23] ---**
    Did they get him?!
**[12:31] ---**
    I got in a direct hit before
    those black things could protect him.
**[12:35] ---**
    He should have felt that one.
**[13:00] ---**
    No effect at all.
**[13:02] ---**
    We can't touch those black,
    transforming spheres...
**[13:05] ---**
    Our attacks have
    no effect on him...
**[13:07] ---**
    He's quick on both offense
    and defense...
**[13:10] ---**
    What a pain.
**[13:13] ---**
    He's even more perfect than
    how I imagine myself in my dreams!
**[13:19] ---**
    It's like he's truly obtained
    dreamlike power.
**[13:24] ---**
    That's odd.
**[13:26] ---**
    What is?
**[13:28] ---**
    Your arm was ripped off...
**[13:31] ---**
    There should be dust swirling
    around to restore it by now.
**[13:37] ---**
    Our reanimated bodies
    aren't regenerating...
**[13:48] ---**
    I have come to possess the same power
    as the Founder of Shinobi.
**[13:56] ---**
    You can no longer measure me
    by the standards you are used to.
**[14:02] ---**
    Don't tell me, your jutsu...!
**[14:06] ---**
    What does he mean by the same power
    as the Founder of Shinobi?
**[14:09] ---**
    Fourth...
**[14:11] ---**
    Try not to get seriously injured again,
    even with our reanimated bodies...
**[14:17] ---**
    He's probably using
    a jutsu based
**[14:19] ---**
    on Shadow and Light Styles
    that nullify all ninjutsu.
**[14:24] ---**
    In other words, if he destroys
    our reanimated bodies...
**[14:28] ---**
    we'll be unable to regenerate,
    and we'll die!
**[14:33] ---**
    Also...assume that right arm
    of yours is permanently gone.
**[14:38] ---**
    If that's the case, we'll need
    to fight him even more carefully...
**[14:43] ---**
    But since ninjutsu won't work on him,
    this will be tricky.
**[14:46] ---**
    How about physical attacks?
**[14:49] ---**
    Let's try it out.
**[14:51] ---**
    Sasuke...
**[14:52] ---**
    What?
**[14:54] ---**
    We're going to have to take the lead.
**[14:56] ---**
    Think you can keep up?
**[14:59] ---**
    Don't underestimate the Uchiha.
**[15:01] ---**
    All right!
**[15:03] ---**
    I'll up my Kurama Mode and
    go into Tailed Beast State!
**[15:11] ---**
    Huh?
**[15:13] ---**
    Don't make things worse
    than they already are...
**[15:16] ---**
    You're as goofy as your father.
**[15:20] ---**
    So much that even
    he's dumbfounded...
**[15:23] ---**
    S-Sorry.
**[15:29] ---**
    Kurama! Lend me
    a little more chakra!
**[15:33] ---**
    Hold off on going into
    Nine Tails State for just a bit!
**[15:36] ---**
    But he's not someone
    we can beat without it.
**[15:39] ---**
    If you want to enter into
    Perfect Tailed Beast State,
**[15:42] ---**
    you're going to have to fight
    in normal mode for a bit.
**[15:48] ---**
    Syrup Gun!
**[15:55] ---**
    A toad from Mount Myoboku?
**[15:57] ---**
    What was that about Gamakichi?
**[15:58] ---**
    If you're going make a move,
    do something diversionary or a combo...
**[16:01] ---**
    Sorry, but we're approaching
    the time limit for the summoning.
**[16:05] ---**
    I just wanted to repay him
    with a parting shot!
**[16:10] ---**
    Thanks for the effort!
    Go get some rest!
**[16:14] ---**
    Sorry about this.
**[16:33] ---**
    *This is...*
**[16:34] ---**
    Obito, I thought you wanted
    to become Hokage.
**[16:38] ---**
    Why are you doing this?
**[16:40] ---**
    You want to know why?
**[16:42] ---**
    *This is my chance!*
**[16:44] ---**
    Lecturing me now?
**[16:46] ---**
    Isn't it a bit late for that...Sensei?
**[16:53] ---**
    You're always too late
    when it matters most.
**[16:57] ---**
    *Anyway, Rin and Kakashi*
    *are surrounded by dozens of shinobi!*
**[17:01] ---**
    *And it looks like they're all*
    *powerful jonin and ANBU...*
**[17:06] ---**
    *What is Minato Sensei doing?*
**[17:08] ---**
    *Who's that?*
**[17:09] ---**
    *I'm asking you what*
    *the Yellow Flash is doing!*
**[17:12] ---**
    *Hmm... He seems to be*
    *on a different mission.*
**[17:17] ---**
    *At a time like this?*
**[17:26] ---**
    *Rin... I want to...*
**[17:30] ---**
    *I want to create a world*
    *with you in it...*
**[17:35] ---**
    I'm glad my teacher was a Hokage.
**[17:42] ---**
    It made it easy to give up
    on becoming Hokage.
**[17:49] ---**
    *He got past Lord Third's*
    *personal ANBU Black Ops,*
**[17:52] ---**
    *infiltrated a top-secret barrier,*
**[17:55] ---**
    *and knew that the seal*
**[17:56] ---**
    *on the Nine Tails would be*
    *at its weakest during childbirth...*
**[17:59] ---**
    *Are you Madara Uchiha?*
**[18:06] ---**
    *No... That's impossible...*
    *He's dead.*
**[18:11] ---**
    *Who knows? Am I?*
**[18:14] ---**
    *Right now, I don't care who you are...*
**[18:19] ---**
    *But why are you targeting the Leaf?*
**[18:22] ---**
    *You could say it's on a whim,*
    *but also as part of a plan,*
**[18:27] ---**
    *for the sake of war,*
    *but also for the sake of peace.*
**[18:36] ---**
    *If I had realized that man*
    *was Obito,*
**[18:40] ---**
    *I probably could have stopped him...*
**[18:44] ---**
    *And then, I might have been*
    *able to prevent Kushina from dying.*
**[18:49] ---**
    *I might not have had*
    *to make Naruto*
**[18:50] ---**
    *into Nine Tails' Jinchuriki.*
**[18:54] ---**
    *If only...*
**[18:56] ---**
    *I had realized he was Obito...*
**[19:00] ---**
    *Perhaps the shinobi world wouldn't*
    *have ended up like this either!*
**[19:05] ---**
    Even though you were my teacher,
    you didn't realize it was me.
**[19:10] ---**
    That's just who
    you are fundamentally.
**[19:14] ---**
    How pathetic...
**[19:15] ---**
    You died a heroic Hokage,
**[19:18] ---**
    but now you're being exposed
    as a disgrace in front of your son.
**[19:24] ---**
    That's right...
**[19:25] ---**
    A Hokage is a pitiable existence...
    compared to what I am now.
**[19:31] ---**
    *Apparently the kid's not a goofball.*
**[19:33] ---**
    *He's caught on!*
**[19:36] ---**
    You have no right to
    make fun of a Hokage
**[19:38] ---**
    when you couldn't even
    become one yourself.
**[19:41] ---**
    Naruto, you—!
**[19:46] ---**
    Especially my dad...
    who actually became Hokage.
**[19:51] ---**
    How dare you put him down!
**[19:58] ---**
    That worked?!
    Why? How?
**[20:06] ---**
    *It's effective! I knew it!*
**[20:10] ---**
    *Even if ninjutsu is ineffective,*
    *Sage Jutsu still works!*
**[20:15] ---**
    *The toad from Mount Myoboku*
    *used Sage Jutsu*
**[20:18] ---**
    *and his attack wasn't nullified.*
**[20:20] ---**
    You bastard!
**[20:27] ---**
    That's amazing, Naruto...
**[20:29] ---**
    What's going on?
**[20:30] ---**
    His Sage Jutsu is working!
**[20:42] ---**
    *He's even mastered the same*
    *Sage Jutsu as Jiraiya Sensei...*
**[20:45] ---**
    He's grown into quite a son, eh, Minato?
**[20:55] ---**
    It's no wonder he managed
    to sweet talk my other half.
**[22:36] ---**
    Dad, I don't know if it will work,
    but I've got an idea.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Naruto, he's useless.
    He can't do anything.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    He couldn't even protect
    your mother.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Nor his own subordinates.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    You know what tomorrow is,
    don't you?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    It's the anniversary of
    Minato and Kushina's death...
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Day Naruto Was Born"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    The day both of your parents died.
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE DAY NARUTO WAS BORN
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Day Naruto Was Born*
    
    
    
**[01:42] ---**
    Minato… You intended for your brat to
    clean up after your mess, right?
**[01:49] ---**
    That's why you sealed
    my other half inside him…
**[01:54] ---**
    as if you were confident they would
    be able to work together.
**[01:58] ---**
    Nine Tails…
**[02:00] ---**
    Then don't regret it now.
**[02:04] ---**
    It's not your fault
    that Kushina died.
**[02:08] ---**
    And making your brat into
    a Jinchuriki wasn't a bad thing either.
**[02:13] ---**
    Because your brat is trying
    to change...
**[02:16] ---**
    what this world has
    become right now.
**[02:20] ---**
    He's not that
    newborn babe anymore.
**[02:23] ---**
    In fact, tomorrow is...
**[02:26] ---**
    Naruto…
**[02:29] ---**
    Listen up... I need to
    tell you something...
**[02:45] ---**
    I knew it! I figured as much.
**[02:49] ---**
    I can't believe the Ten Tails'
    Jinchuriki has such a weakness!
**[02:54] ---**
    *And with Ten Tails inside me,*
    *I can't pass through things either!*
**[02:59] ---**
    *How frustrating!*
**[03:04] ---**
    Sage moves will work!
**[03:06] ---**
    Sage Power?
**[03:08] ---**
    The toad attacks are Sage Jutsu…
**[03:11] ---**
    They use Nature Energy.
**[03:13] ---**
    Come to think of it, when I tried
    to sense Ten Tails' power,
**[03:16] ---**
    it was Nature Energy itself.
**[03:19] ---**
    So you can maybe counter
    Nature Energy with Nature Energy.
**[03:24] ---**
    Not that I really understand it.
**[03:27] ---**
    I'm just glad I learned
    Sage Jutsu! All right!
**[03:32] ---**
    Next up is Frog Kumite!
**[03:39] ---**
    *He instantly grasped how to use*
    *the Flying Raijin with me...*
**[03:43] ---**
    *and has even mastered*
    *Sage Power.*
**[03:46] ---**
    *I feel like I'm fighting*
    *alongside Elder Brother!*
**[04:00] ---**
    It clearly worked.
    But he's recovered already,
**[04:02] ---**
    and now he's guarding his back.
**[04:06] ---**
    *If we teleport behind him carelessly,*
    *we might get erased.*
**[04:17] ---**
    I should start preparing for
    the Tsukuyomi.
**[04:19] ---**
    Let's tidy things up.
**[04:40] ---**
    There is nothing worth saving
    in this reality.
**[04:47] ---**
    This world is already dead.
**[04:59] ---**
    Hey… This is super bad!
**[05:01] ---**
    Four of them…all at once?
**[05:03] ---**
    Even if we were to create
    an Earth Style Wall,
**[05:06] ---**
    it wouldn't be enough!
**[05:07] ---**
    There are too many of them!
**[05:10] ---**
    *What do we do? Think!*
**[05:13] ---**
    It would take one person
    per each of those
**[05:16] ---**
    to teleport away using
    the Flying Raijin.
**[05:18] ---**
    The Fourth and I can get
    to two of them,
**[05:21] ---**
    but that leaves two others!
    Impossible!
**[05:24] ---**
    Where's Elder Brother?
**[05:26] ---**
    Madara! Could you wait a moment?
**[05:29] ---**
    Your comrade is acting up...!
**[05:32] ---**
    We are all Reanimations!
**[05:33] ---**
    There's no need to worry!
**[05:35] ---**
    Keep fighting!
**[05:38] ---**
    Do not give up everyone!
**[05:40] ---**
    I am with you!
    My clones are with you!
**[05:43] ---**
    We only need to change
    the spheres' trajectories!
**[05:45] ---**
    The other Hokage will
    also take measures
**[05:47] ---**
    and repel them across the ocean!
**[05:49] ---**
    I ask that you all work on putting up
    an Earth Style Wall!
**[05:51] ---**
    I'll use the Deep Forest
    Emergence to launch
**[05:53] ---**
    and guide them to
    toward the ocean!
**[05:56] ---**
    I won't let you!
**[06:06] ---**
    *Six Crimson Ray Formation!*
**[06:15] ---**
    A barrier!
**[06:17] ---**
    Hey! Don't tell me we're...
**[06:23] ---**
    He's trapped everyone
    inside the barrier,
**[06:25] ---**
    and he's made it so we can't
    expel the Tailed Beast Bombs!
**[06:31] ---**
    Endgame.
**[06:33] ---**
    Our only choice now is
    to teleport those spheres
**[06:36] ---**
    outside the barrier using
    the Flying Raijin.
**[06:38] ---**
    Fourth, can you handle two of them?
**[06:41] ---**
    Since we can't mark them,
    I can only take one.
**[06:45] ---**
    There's only one way.
**[06:49] ---**
    We could...
**[06:50] ---**
    You intend to teleport
    the stalk itself outside?
**[06:54] ---**
    You think I'd let you do that?
**[06:56] ---**
    You can't save anyone!
**[07:02] ---**
    Dad!
**[07:03] ---**
    I don't know if it will work,
    but I've got an idea.
**[07:09] ---**
    Will you bump fists with me?
**[07:30] ---**
    Hey, other half. How ya been?
**[07:34] ---**
    Do you mind sharing some
    of your chakra with me?
**[07:40] ---**
    To be asked a favor from myself
    feels a bit weird...
**[07:46] ---**
    Naruto…
**[07:48] ---**
    Minato's useless,
    he can't do anything.
**[07:50] ---**
    He couldn't even
    protect your mom...
**[07:56] ---**
    Nor his own subordinates.
**[08:02] ---**
    You know what tomorrow is,
    don't you?
**[08:09] ---**
    It's the anniversary of
    Minato and Kushina's deaths.
**[08:12] ---**
    The day both of your parent's died.
**[08:29] ---**
    In this world, it's over
    when you die.
**[08:33] ---**
    You see...
**[08:34] ---**
    Oh, right, which means...
**[08:37] ---**
    it's also the day I was born!
**[08:50] ---**
    So you see...
**[08:52] ---**
    It's not over...
**[08:57] ---**
    'Cuz I exist in this world!
**[09:00] ---**
    *Our Naruto has*
    *become really strong...*
**[09:06] ---**
    *...Kushina.*
**[09:12] ---**
    Let's go, Dad!
**[09:13] ---**
    Yeah!
**[09:34] ---**
    Thank goodness for
    the chakra of you two!
**[09:37] ---**
    It's just as I thought!
**[09:40] ---**
    Yeah well, the both of us
    used to be one, after all.
**[09:45] ---**
    Plus...those two are
    father and son.
**[09:55] ---**
    He's planning to trap us
    inside this barrier
**[09:56] ---**
    and blow us up along with it!
**[09:59] ---**
    What can we do?
**[10:01] ---**
    *The Hokage's barrier didn't let*
    *Tailed Beast Bombs through either…*
**[10:18] ---**
    *This barrier is red all over…*
**[10:20] ---**
    *I think it's accurate to say that*
**[10:23] ---**
    *this one's likely to be*
    *on par with the Hokages.*
**[10:27] ---**
    *With the level of our strength,*
**[10:28] ---**
    *it's impossible for us to*
    *smash through it, in which case...*
**[10:36] ---**
    *Damn it!*
    *Nothing's coming to mind, Dad!*
**[10:42] ---**
    What's your plan, Naruto?
**[10:45] ---**
    Just...give me some time to focus...
**[10:54] ---**
    Let me explain what
    Kurama and I came up with.
**[10:57] ---**
    You tell me if
    it will work or not, okay?
**[11:02] ---**
    All right, go ahead!
**[11:09] ---**
    *Have you seen him, Kushina?*
**[11:12] ---**
    *Our Naruto's really grown up.*
**[11:22] ---**
    *I'm so sorry, Naruto...*
**[11:26] ---**
    *I'm sure you must have had it*
    *real tough up until now!*
**[11:32] ---**
    *The real tough part*
    *is about to start, Dad!*
**[11:45] ---**
    This is Naruto's…!
**[11:49] ---**
    So…it wasn't depleted?!
**[11:51] ---**
    I noticed it when
    I was healing everyone, but…
**[11:55] ---**
    It seems it had merely shrunk down.
**[11:58] ---**
    It's bigger and more powerful
    than before!
**[12:02] ---**
    Have ya noticed Eight-o?
**[12:05] ---**
    I sense two Nine Tails,
    one light and one dark, yo!
**[12:08] ---**
    This isn't just Nine Tails.
**[12:11] ---**
    You're thinking about
    protecting us from that attack
**[12:14] ---**
    with this chakra, Naruto?
**[12:25] ---**
    Jugo.
**[12:27] ---**
    Sasuke, this is looking bad.
    Let's get outside of this barrier.
**[12:31] ---**
    Use the Snake
    Reverse Summoning.
**[12:34] ---**
    That was my plan already.
**[12:35] ---**
    I'll take you and Naruto
    with me.
**[12:39] ---**
    I haven't given you
    any of my chakra yet.
**[12:43] ---**
    Get over here, will ya?
**[12:46] ---**
    What's your chakra
    going to accomplish?
**[12:48] ---**
    There's no time! Just hurry!
**[12:54] ---**
    I can't believe he shared
    his chakra with every shinobi!
**[12:59] ---**
    He's got almost as
    much chakra as us!
**[13:02] ---**
    No!
**[13:03] ---**
    Actually, this has
    Nine Tails' chakra mixed in!
**[13:07] ---**
    *That won't help you*
    *withstand the shock wave of*
**[13:09] ---**
    *four Ten Tails' Tailed Beast*
    *Bombs exploding together!*
**[13:14] ---**
    *Begone...*
**[14:17] ---**
    What?
**[14:21] ---**
    What happened?
**[14:24] ---**
    This chakra protected us again!
**[14:27] ---**
    Not quite, check it out!
**[14:31] ---**
    Choji… Look over there.
**[14:34] ---**
    We're...
**[14:37] ---**
    outside the barrier.
**[14:42] ---**
    It was the Teleportation Jutsu.
**[14:44] ---**
    Damn that Naruto!
    He's even mastered that too?
**[14:49] ---**
    This isn't just Naruto's chakra.
**[14:51] ---**
    He moved everyone using
    the Fourth Hokage's Flying Raijin Jutsu!
**[14:56] ---**
    Fourth…
**[14:58] ---**
    This is the second time
    you've saved all of shinobi-kind.
**[15:06] ---**
    I've still failed...
**[15:13] ---**
    more times than that,
**[15:17] ---**
    so I must continue making up for it.
**[15:22] ---**
    What did you do?
**[15:24] ---**
    Dad teleported everyone
    outside the barrier.
**[15:29] ---**
    Everyone? With that jutsu?
**[15:32] ---**
    I can't teleport
    anything that I myself,
**[15:34] ---**
    or my chakra isn't touching,
    even indirectly.
**[15:38] ---**
    How?
**[15:43] ---**
    I'd shared Kurama's and
    my chakra with everyone earlier.
**[15:49] ---**
    So if Dad, and our chakra
    and everybody were to uh...um...
**[15:54] ---**
    Indirectly…
**[15:55] ---**
    Right! If we were all
    in indirect contact with each other,
**[15:58] ---**
    it would work.
**[15:59] ---**
    So, I connected Dad's chakra
    with Kurama's and mine.
**[16:03] ---**
    That's all!
**[16:05] ---**
    He used the principle
    of Shadow Clones.
**[16:09] ---**
    Even if you split up and
    disperse your chakra...
**[16:11] ---**
    as long as you keep even
    a little bit there without putting it out...
**[16:14] ---**
    when the original body infuses
    chakra again to regain control,
**[16:18] ---**
    all the individual chakra bits
    begin resonating and link together.
**[16:21] ---**
    In short, by joining his chakra
    with the Fourth's,
**[16:26] ---**
    Naruto linked the Fourth
    to the rest of his chakra
**[16:29] ---**
    residing in everyone else.
**[16:32] ---**
    Right, Naruto?
**[16:34] ---**
    Huh? Is that what I did?
**[16:36] ---**
    Never mind…
**[16:37] ---**
    Old Man Second, you sure know
    a lot about my Shadow Clones too!
**[16:41] ---**
    I created that jutsu!
**[16:43] ---**
    It's my Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[16:48] ---**
    *Will you bump fists with me?*
**[16:52] ---**
    *Yeah!*
**[17:11] ---**
    *Yeah, let's try it!*
**[17:13] ---**
    *There's nothing we can't do*
    *if we borrow Nine Tails'...*
**[17:16] ---**
    *I mean, Kurama's power.*
**[17:17] ---**
    *All right!*
**[17:18] ---**
    *Then let's all four of us join forces!*
**[17:21] ---**
    *"All four of us," eh?*
    *You treat us like we're human too.*
**[17:25] ---**
    *What kind of childrearing*
    *has led to this, eh?*
**[17:31] ---**
    Naruto…
**[17:32] ---**
    Huh?!
**[17:34] ---**
    I wish there was more time...
**[17:36] ---**
    to talk to the grown-up you...
**[17:38] ---**
    Guys don't need to talk!
**[17:41] ---**
    I already know!
**[17:47] ---**
    I…already met Mom's chakra.
**[17:56] ---**
    *Kushina…my time is running out…*
**[18:00] ---**
    *I'm going start*
    *the Eight Signed Seal.*
**[18:04] ---**
    *I want to put some of*
    *my chakra in Naruto too.*
**[18:08] ---**
    *It'll be quite a while before*
    *we can see him.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Let's tell him*
    *what we want to say…*
**[18:14] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[18:16] ---**
    *Don't be picky.*
    *Eat lots and grow strong.*
**[18:21] ---**
    *Make sure you bathe*
    *every day and stay warm.*
**[18:26] ---**
    *Also…don't stay up late.*
    *You need lots of sleep.*
**[18:30] ---**
    *And…make friends.*
**[18:34] ---**
    *You don't need a lot of friends.*
    *Just a few…*
**[18:38] ---**
    *Ones you can really,*
    *really trust.*
**[18:42] ---**
    *I wasn't very good at it,*
    *but keep up with your studies*
**[18:46] ---**
    *and practice your ninjutsu hard.*
**[18:49] ---**
    *Remember that everyone has*
    *strengths and weaknesses.*
**[18:54] ---**
    *So don't get too depressed*
    *if you can't do something well.*
**[18:59] ---**
    *Respect your teachers and*
    *upperclassmen at the Academy.*
**[19:04] ---**
    *Oh, and this is important…*
**[19:07] ---**
    *It's about the Three Prohibitions*
    *for a shinobi.*
**[19:10] ---**
    *Be extra careful about*
    *lending and borrowing money.*
**[19:14] ---**
    *Put your mission wages*
    *into your savings account.*
**[19:18] ---**
    *No alcohol until you're of age.*
**[19:21] ---**
    *Too much can ruin your health,*
    *so drink in moderation.*
**[19:25] ---**
    *Another Prohibition is women.*
**[19:29] ---**
    *I'm a woman,*
**[19:31] ---**
    *so I don't know too much*
    *about this but…*
**[19:34] ---**
    *All you need to remember*
    *is that this world*
**[19:36] ---**
    *is made up of men and women.*
**[19:39] ---**
    *So it's only natural to take*
    *an interest in girls…*
**[19:42] ---**
    *But just don't get hooked*
    *on bad women.*
**[19:47] ---**
    *Find someone just like me.*
**[19:49] ---**
    *Speaking of*
    *the Three Prohibitions,*
**[19:54] ---**
    *Be wary of Jiraiya Sensei.*
**[20:01] ---**
    *Naruto…from now on, you're going*
    *to face lots of pain and hardship…*
**[20:07] ---**
    *Be true to yourself…*
**[20:10] ---**
    *Have a dream…and…*
**[20:13] ---**
    *have the confidence to make*
    *that dream come true!*
**[20:18] ---**
    *There's so much…*
    *oh, so much more…*
**[20:22] ---**
    *There's so much more that*
    *I want to pass on to you…*
**[20:29] ---**
    *I wish I could stay*
    *with you longer…*
**[20:32] ---**
    *I love you.*
**[20:35] ---**
    *Minato, I'm sorry I used up*
    *your time…*
**[20:38] ---**
    *It's okay.*
**[20:41] ---**
    *Naruto, my words to you*
    *as your father are...*
**[20:44] ---**
    *I guess it's the same*
    *as your nagging mother's.*
**[20:51] ---**
    What you want to say is the same
    as my nagging mom, right?!
**[20:55] ---**
    I already know!
**[22:38] ---**
    What exactly is it?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    This is the Divine Tree!
    Ten Tails' final form!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Chakra first originated with
    this Divine Tree!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    What?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    We humans stole chakra
    from the Divine Tree long ago.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    This thing is just trying to
    get it back, that's all.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Divine Tree"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Do you know how and
    why shinobi came to be, Hashirama?
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE DIVINE TREE
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:01] ---**
    Will you bump fists with me?
**[00:04] ---**
    Yeah.
**[00:23] ---**
    Yeah, let's try it!
**[00:26] ---**
    There's nothing we can't do
    if we borrow Nine Tails'...
**[00:28] ---**
    I mean, Kurama's power.
**[00:30] ---**
    All right!
**[00:31] ---**
    Then let's all four of us join forces!
**[00:34] ---**
    All four of us, eh?
**[00:35] ---**
    You treat us like we're human too.
**[00:38] ---**
    What kind of childrearing
    has led to this, eh?
**[00:44] ---**
    Naruto...
**[00:45] ---**
    Huh?
**[00:47] ---**
    I wish there was more time
    to talk to the grown-up you!
**[00:51] ---**
    Guys don't need to talk!
**[00:54] ---**
    I already know!
**[01:01] ---**
    I...already met Mom's chakra...
**[01:06] ---**
    What you want to say is the same
    as my nagging mom, right?!
**[01:10] ---**
    I already know!
**[01:30] ---**
    *This feeling is so familiar...*
**[01:35] ---**
    *Even though we're out of options,*
**[01:38] ---**
    *it feels like we can*
    *accomplish anything...*
**[01:42] ---**
    *That's right! It's just like*
    *when I was with Kushina!*
**[01:57] ---**
    I feel power welling up inside me!
**[02:00] ---**
    Let's go!
**[02:03] ---**
    *Naruto's got this much chakra?*
**[02:06] ---**
    Naruto! Letting out a shout
    and showing off
**[02:08] ---**
    is all well and good...
**[02:10] ---**
    but don't tell me
    you've already forgotten...
**[02:13] ---**
    that nothing other than
    Sage Jutsu works against him?
**[02:17] ---**
    I know you're not an idiot!
**[02:29] ---**
    That's right!
**[02:31] ---**
    You're a bigger idiot
    than my elder brother!
**[02:35] ---**
    *All that chakra and*
    *it's being wasted on him...*
**[02:38] ---**
    *Or perhaps this isn't quite*
    *the same feeling...*
**[02:45] ---**
    It looks like you've surpassed
    all the previous Hokage, in stupidity!
**[02:51] ---**
    Shut up! Stupid, stupid Kurama!
**[02:56] ---**
    Fools are easily liked
    and trusted by others.
**[02:59] ---**
    It'll be all right.
    Don't worry about it.
**[03:04] ---**
    I-I'm not worried that I'm an idiot!
**[03:07] ---**
    I'm not talking about that.
**[03:09] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:10] ---**
    I'm saying that you might
    be able to go into Sage Mode
**[03:13] ---**
    while you're in that state.
**[03:17] ---**
    Listen up... You've probably
    already forgotten,
**[03:21] ---**
    but during your final battle
    with Pain, Nagato...
**[03:29] ---**
    I got so mad by what he was saying
    that my chakra leaked out,
**[03:33] ---**
    even though you were
    in Sage Mode at that time.
**[03:37] ---**
    My power and your Sage Power
    actually managed to synchronize.
**[03:48] ---**
    Did something like that
    happen back then...?
**[04:02] ---**
    You say that, but back when
    I was undergoing Sage Training,
**[04:06] ---**
    you interfered with Gramps Sage's
    Sage Jutsu, remember?
**[04:09] ---**
    That's because I had no interest
    in sharing the same space with toads!
**[04:14] ---**
    Besides, it really pissed me off
    that you would rely on Sage Jutsu
**[04:19] ---**
    when you had my chakra.
**[04:24] ---**
    You stubborn bastard!
**[04:26] ---**
    You're the stubborn one!
**[04:29] ---**
    Anyway, what I'm trying to say is,
**[04:30] ---**
    that I'm willing to let you use
**[04:33] ---**
    both my power and
    Sage Power right now.
**[04:36] ---**
    What's stubborn about that,
    damn it?!
**[04:40] ---**
    You just can't be up front about
    your feelings, can you?
**[04:42] ---**
    You bastard! You've been
    making fun of me a lot lately!
**[04:49] ---**
    It's not like that...
    It's out of familiarity...
**[04:57] ---**
    Using Tailed Beast State with
    Sage Jutsu at the same time, huh...
**[05:00] ---**
    You've got the same me
    inside you as your son.
**[05:03] ---**
    You should be able to provide him
    with powerful support.
**[05:07] ---**
    Yeah...
**[05:09] ---**
    I already know that!
**[05:20] ---**
    *I'll have some jutsu prepared too!*
**[05:24] ---**
    *I'm absorbing Nature Energy*
    *a lot faster in this state.*
**[05:39] ---**
    All right!
**[07:27] ---**
    *The Divine Tree*
    
    
**[07:38] ---**
    Naruto, add Sage Jutsu
    to the Rasengan!
**[07:41] ---**
    Okay!
**[07:43] ---**
    Old Man Second!
**[07:46] ---**
    Let's do it!
**[07:50] ---**
    Just forge ahead!
**[07:52] ---**
    We'll ward off his attacks
    with our chakra!
**[08:07] ---**
    – Rasengan!
    – Rasengan!
**[08:45] ---**
    That black thing sure is solid!
**[08:48] ---**
    Damn it...
**[08:49] ---**
    He blocked us this time!
**[08:52] ---**
    He predicted our attack...
**[08:54] ---**
    Using only the Flying Raijin
    in our strategy isn't enough.
**[08:57] ---**
    Our only option is to destroy
    that black thing!
**[09:01] ---**
    But how?
**[09:02] ---**
    All right, next up...
**[09:05] ---**
    Let's try adding Sage Jutsu
    to a Tailed Beast Bomb!
**[09:10] ---**
    All right, excellent idea!
**[09:13] ---**
    *You might just surpass*
    *my Elder Brother as Hokage...*
**[09:22] ---**
    Hey, other Kurama! You help too!
**[09:24] ---**
    I like the sound of that!
**[09:27] ---**
    *I thought so...*
**[09:30] ---**
    *This is a familiar feeling,*
    *after all!*
**[09:43] ---**
    *This is what Naruto is*
    *capable of now?*
**[09:46] ---**
    *He's able to control this much*
    *chakra perfectly...*
**[09:51] ---**
    *How far will you...*
**[10:05] ---**
    *There's no harm*
    *in taking measures early.*
**[10:16] ---**
    W-What's that?!
**[10:24] ---**
    *He's starting*
    *the Infinite Tsukuyomi already?!*
**[10:49] ---**
    He spit out the Ten Tails?
**[10:51] ---**
    Be careful. I have
    a bad feeling about this.
**[11:31] ---**
    I'll suspend the barrier for now.
**[11:41] ---**
    The barrier is disappearing!
**[11:43] ---**
    Now we can fight alongside Naruto
    and the others!
**[12:10] ---**
    *Th-This is—!*
**[12:22] ---**
    What?!
**[12:30] ---**
    Run! It will absorb all your chakra
    in one swoop!
**[12:40] ---**
    It's coming after us one by one!
**[12:42] ---**
    But why...?!
**[12:48] ---**
    Why...?! Why do I get so many
    coming at me, huh?
**[12:53] ---**
    Fool... Ya fool!
**[12:55] ---**
    This is the tree of God.
    It's called the Divine Tree!
**[12:59] ---**
    It's the Ten Tails' final form!
**[13:01] ---**
    It knows that you have
    more chakra than everyone else!
**[13:06] ---**
    At this rate, the chakra that Naruto gave
    to everyone is meaningless.
**[13:15] ---**
    W-What is this?!
**[13:19] ---**
    Chakra first originated with...
**[13:21] ---**
    this Divine Tree!
**[13:23] ---**
    All the chakra here...
**[13:26] ---**
    Even the enormous amounts
    of chakra you possess.
**[13:29] ---**
    What?
**[13:30] ---**
    Humans stole chakra from
    the Divine Tree long ago.
**[13:34] ---**
    It's just trying to take back
    what belongs to it.
**[13:38] ---**
    What are you talking about?!
**[13:40] ---**
    The endless passing of time
    has cast a fog over the truth.
**[13:46] ---**
    Do you know how shinobi
    came to be, Hashirama?
**[13:52] ---**
    Long ago, when people didn't
    even have a concept of chakra...
**[13:59] ---**
    ...even then, people still battled
    each other.
**[14:06] ---**
    The Divine Tree was never involved
    in their battles
**[14:09] ---**
    and was worshipped as
    a sacred pillar.
**[14:15] ---**
    But one day...
**[14:19] ---**
    The Divine Tree bore a fruit
    that was said to be produced
**[14:22] ---**
    only once in a millennium.
**[14:23] ---**
    I don't know what it signified,
    but legend dictated
**[14:28] ---**
    that no one was to ever
    lay hands on the fruit.
**[14:34] ---**
    But one princess, in her desire
**[14:37] ---**
    to reap the power of
    the Divine Tree to win a war,
**[14:41] ---**
    took and consumed the forbidden fruit.
**[14:45] ---**
    Afterwards, she gained
    the power of a god,
**[14:48] ---**
    and it was said she quashed
    the war by herself.
**[14:52] ---**
    Her name was Kaguya Otsutsuki.
**[14:58] ---**
    So that's how!
**[15:00] ---**
    She was the first human
    to have chakra.
**[15:05] ---**
    Eventually, Kaguya would bear a child
**[15:08] ---**
    who was born with chakra
    already within him.
**[15:13] ---**
    However, the Divine Tree
    came alive
**[15:16] ---**
    and went on a rampage
    in order to reclaim its stolen chakra.
**[15:20] ---**
    That is the Ten Tails.
**[15:23] ---**
    And the one who stopped it
    was Kaguya's child.
**[15:27] ---**
    His name was Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
**[15:32] ---**
    He was the one who preached
    the teachings of chakra,
**[15:35] ---**
    and was the founder of Ninshu.
**[15:37] ---**
    He was the forefather of the shinobi—
**[15:39] ---**
    the man known as
    the Sage of Six Paths.
**[15:42] ---**
    How do you know all of this?!
**[15:46] ---**
    It was inscribed on
    the Uchiha Stone Tablet.
**[15:52] ---**
    Do I need to explain what happened
**[15:55] ---**
    to those who tasted of
    the forbidden fruit...
**[15:58] ---**
    for the purpose of ending all conflict?
**[16:06] ---**
    That's right...
    It didn't change anything.
**[16:09] ---**
    In fact, subsequent wars
    become more gruesome!
**[16:14] ---**
    Upon learning this,
    I fell into despair.
**[16:18] ---**
    There are no such things as true dreams
    in this world, Hashirama!
**[16:23] ---**
    Ever since people tasted that fruit,
    humans have been cursed...
**[16:27] ---**
    And destined to hate
    each other even more!
**[16:32] ---**
    And it is we shinobi
    whose very existence
**[16:35] ---**
    symbolizes that foolishness,
    don't you think?
**[16:39] ---**
    In which case I'd rather...
**[16:41] ---**
    So relying on the power
    of the Divine Tree again
**[16:44] ---**
    by using a great genjutsu...
**[16:47] ---**
    *You just can't see it...*
**[16:50] ---**
    *What's beyond this...*
**[16:52] ---**
    *The dreams of the far future.*
**[16:59] ---**
    Is this what you meant
    by "dreams of the far future"?!
**[17:05] ---**
    Yes...
**[17:07] ---**
    But it will be a little different.
**[17:14] ---**
    Naruto!
**[17:17] ---**
    Water Style: Severing Wave!
**[17:26] ---**
    Damn it! There are too many of them!
**[17:28] ---**
    *I might be able to sense Naruto,*
    *but it's useless!*
**[17:31] ---**
    Fourth! Can you teleport directly
    to Naruto?!
**[17:35] ---**
    I can't! That last Flying Raijin
    and these vines have drained my chakra!
**[17:41] ---**
    In that case...
**[17:48] ---**
    Let go...of me...
**[17:59] ---**
    *Gramps...*
**[18:04] ---**
    Sorry it took so long!
**[18:06] ---**
    Oh!
**[18:08] ---**
    Saru!
**[18:11] ---**
    All right!
**[18:12] ---**
    We're teleporting out of here!
**[18:21] ---**
    Have things finally settled down?
**[19:17] ---**
    Is this what you meant by
    "dreams of the far future"?!
**[19:21] ---**
    Yes...
**[19:23] ---**
    But it will be a little different.
**[19:26] ---**
    "A little different"?
**[19:28] ---**
    Take a look...
**[19:41] ---**
    When the Divine Tree's bud
    finally blooms...
**[19:45] ---**
    The moon will reflect the eye
    at the flower's center, up above...
**[19:49] ---**
    and the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    will be fully activated...
**[19:52] ---**
    And I...will be the one
    to accomplish it.
**[19:57] ---**
    We're doomed!
**[20:00] ---**
    This is crazy...
**[20:03] ---**
    Miss Sakura!
**[20:04] ---**
    Are you all right, Miss Sakura?
**[20:12] ---**
    That was a close call, fool! Ya fool!
**[20:17] ---**
    That was too close!
**[20:21] ---**
    Is it over?
**[20:41] ---**
    Now, be still...
**[20:50] ---**
    You have all...
**[20:55] ---**
    endured plenty already.
**[22:37] ---**
    Shinobi are done for.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    There's no need to keep going.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    If you don't resist,
    I won't kill you.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Unless you want to
    be filled with regret,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    stop and do nothing
    from here on out.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    You don't have to fear death
    or keep enduring anymore.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    You'll be entering a dream.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Shinobi's Dream"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    That is our true dream as shinobi!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    A SHINOBI'S DREAM
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:15] ---**
    W-What is that?
**[00:24] ---**
    Katsuyu!
**[00:25] ---**
    Yes, ma'am!
**[00:26] ---**
    I shall explain everything!
**[00:51] ---**
    Are you all right, Sakura...?
**[00:54] ---**
    Yeah...
**[00:55] ---**
    The Five Kage will
    be here shortly.
**[00:56] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[00:58] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[01:13] ---**
    Hey!
**[01:13] ---**
    Hey, he looks real bad!
**[01:18] ---**
    Lady Katsuyu!
**[01:20] ---**
    Let's begin Distance Healing
    immediately!
**[01:22] ---**
    That's not possible.
**[01:24] ---**
    Why?!
**[01:26] ---**
    Even my mini fragments attached
    to everyone have been drained...
**[01:30] ---**
    They have lost their chakra
    and died.
**[01:34] ---**
    That's...
**[01:35] ---**
    In other words...
**[01:36] ---**
    Everyone is in the same state
    as my fragments.
**[01:43] ---**
    *Sorry, Dad...*
**[01:47] ---**
    *Looks like I'll be right*
    *on your heels...*
**[01:50] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[01:52] ---**
    *Sorry... Mom...*
**[01:55] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[01:56] ---**
    Sakura!
**[01:59] ---**
    *If we're going to die anyway,*
**[02:01] ---**
    *we might as well go down fighting*
    *to the best of our abilities!*
**[02:06] ---**
    But...at this rate...
**[02:17] ---**
    ...we'll all die before
    we even get to fight!
**[03:51] ---**
    *A Shinobi's Dream*
    
    
    
**[04:01] ---**
    Shinobi are done for.
**[04:04] ---**
    There's no need to keep going.
**[04:07] ---**
    If you don't resist, I won't kill you.
**[04:18] ---**
    *If you keep opposing us,*
**[04:20] ---**
    *you'll continue to lose*
    *your comrades one by one!*
**[04:24] ---**
    *This will become a world*
**[04:26] ---**
    *where no one who*
    *acknowledges you will exist!*
**[04:31] ---**
    Unless you want to
    be filled with regret,
**[04:33] ---**
    stop and do nothing
    from here on out.
**[04:38] ---**
    If we don't do anything,
    we'll be saved...?
**[04:42] ---**
    Yes...
**[04:43] ---**
    You don't have to fear death
    or keep enduring anymore.
**[04:46] ---**
    You'll be entering a dream.
**[04:56] ---**
    Do not give up!
**[04:59] ---**
    If you succumb to a genjutsu,
    you're no different from being dead!
**[05:06] ---**
    This giant tree is closely
    connected to Obito...
**[05:10] ---**
    They're like limbs
    that suck out chakra.
**[05:13] ---**
    We can't approach carelessly.
**[05:15] ---**
    Such words of weakness.
**[05:18] ---**
    So very unlike you.
**[05:21] ---**
    Sarutobi Sensei...
**[05:24] ---**
    Orochimaru...
**[05:25] ---**
    You're late...
**[05:27] ---**
    What of the Five Kage?
**[05:29] ---**
    I had them healed.
**[05:31] ---**
    So as long as they don't chicken out,
    they should be coming.
**[05:36] ---**
    As sarcastic as ever, I see.
**[05:40] ---**
    Sorry I'm late, Jugo! Sasuke!
**[05:43] ---**
    You're here...
**[05:50] ---**
    This tree is huge
    now that I see it up close.
**[05:54] ---**
    I wonder how long
    it'll take to cut down?
**[05:57] ---**
    Who cares about that?!
**[06:00] ---**
    What's important right now...
**[06:02] ---**
    *...is to go over to Sasuke and*
    *hug and lick him, damn it!*
**[06:07] ---**
    Is to heal the Allied
    Forces shinobi, right?
**[06:10] ---**
    Y-Yeah! I know
    that already, damn it!
**[06:24] ---**
    *He seems to be in a foul mood.*
**[06:29] ---**
    *What's going on?*
**[06:31] ---**
    *When that bud blooms,*
    *Infinite Tsukuyomi will be complete.*
**[06:35] ---**
    *That's what Madara said.*
**[06:37] ---**
    *And yet, after depleting*
    *the chakra of this many shinobi...*
**[06:41] ---**
    *the bud shows no signs of blooming.*
**[06:50] ---**
    So when is it going to bloom?
**[06:54] ---**
    The Eight and Nine Tails still live.
**[06:58] ---**
    Do you get it?
**[07:02] ---**
    *So the chakra of the Eight*
    *and Nine Tails is essential*
**[07:06] ---**
    *to complete the jutsu...*
**[07:14] ---**
    However, if it contains even a small
    amount of each of their chakra,
**[07:18] ---**
    it's fine.
**[07:20] ---**
    In other words,
    it's not like it can't bloom.
**[07:26] ---**
    All that is affected....
**[07:27] ---**
    is how long it will take
    to bloom.
**[07:29] ---**
    There's about 15 minutes to go.
**[07:33] ---**
    In that time, I shall stop Obito
    and switch places with him.
**[07:36] ---**
    Using your Sage Power.
**[07:42] ---**
    *This is bad.*
**[07:44] ---**
    *Everything my original just heard*
    *must be relayed to the Allied Force.*
**[07:50] ---**
    Anyone here belong to
    the Yamanaka Clan?!
**[07:54] ---**
    Here!
**[07:55] ---**
    Can you do
    the Mind Transmission Jutsu?!
**[07:57] ---**
    Yes, I can, sir!
**[07:59] ---**
    Good! Please link me
    to everyone here!
**[08:02] ---**
    There are things I'd like to explain
    about that giant tree,
**[08:04] ---**
    and the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[08:10] ---**
    *This sensation...*
**[08:14] ---**
    *Grandfather!*
**[08:16] ---**
    *Ah! Is that you, Tsuna?*
**[08:18] ---**
    *This voice is unmistakably*
    *Lord Hashirama's!*
**[08:23] ---**
    *This means the Five Kage*
    *are close enough*
**[08:26] ---**
    *to be within range of my jutsu!*
**[08:29] ---**
    *Oops! We'll have to*
    *reminisce later!*
**[08:32] ---**
    *I have things I must relay*
    *to you five and everyone else!*
**[08:37] ---**
    *Listen to me carefully!*
**[08:42] ---**
    *I'll retrieve a little more chakra.*
**[08:46] ---**
    *It's taking too long for it to bloom.*
**[08:50] ---**
    *So we're just nourishment*
    *for that tree?*
**[08:55] ---**
    *That's what shinobi are?!*
**[08:58] ---**
    *Then...how are we supposed to fight it?*
**[09:00] ---**
    *If there's only 15 minutes left,*
    *it's crazy!*
**[09:04] ---**
    *We can't even get close to it!*
**[09:07] ---**
    *And yet, doing nothing will*
    *yield the same result.*
**[09:11] ---**
    *We must either cut down that tree or*
**[09:13] ---**
    *defeat the caster within*
    *the remaining time.*
**[09:15] ---**
    *But...*
**[09:18] ---**
    I told you not to give up hope!
**[09:39] ---**
    That's what you say...
**[09:40] ---**
    But you're a reanimated person
    from the past!
**[09:42] ---**
    Brought back to life!
**[09:45] ---**
    We're still alive!
**[09:52] ---**
    *It's all...over...*
**[09:54] ---**
    *If it's going to end like this,*
**[09:55] ---**
    *we shouldn't have gotten*
    *started at all...*
**[10:01] ---**
    That's right. Just stay like that.
**[10:04] ---**
    I'll take you to a world where
    there are no regrets.
**[10:24] ---**
    Naruto, are you done?
**[10:27] ---**
    Because I'm not.
**[10:36] ---**
    Let's go, Jugo.
**[10:37] ---**
    Yeah...
**[10:46] ---**
    *These are...*
**[10:47] ---**
    *I can feel them,*
    *these are Naruto's feelings...*
**[10:51] ---**
    *coming through my jutsu.*
**[11:07] ---**
    *Back then...*
**[11:10] ---**
    *I knew I should've called out to him.*
**[11:14] ---**
    *I thought about it over*
    *and over afterwards.*
**[11:21] ---**
    *His thoughts are flowing in.*
**[11:25] ---**
    *That's why...*
**[11:33] ---**
    This is...
**[11:41] ---**
    It's from that day...
**[12:14] ---**
    *I...*
**[12:43] ---**
    *I...*
**[12:51] ---**
    *I don't want to regret anything.*
**[12:57] ---**
    *I never want to think,*
    *"I should have..."!*
**[13:01] ---**
    Naruto...
**[13:13] ---**
    *And...*
**[13:15] ---**
    *I just can't make*
    *everything we've done...*
**[13:22] ---**
    *up to this point meaningless!*
**[13:29] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[13:30] ---**
    I'm coming too!
**[13:39] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki...
**[13:41] ---**
    *Time and time again...*
**[13:55] ---**
    Sorry to have to borrow
    more chakra.
**[13:59] ---**
    No worries!
**[14:01] ---**
    *Naruto, we're counting on you!*
**[14:07] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke...
**[14:08] ---**
    You realize that only Sage Jutsu
    works on him, right?!
**[14:12] ---**
    Don't compare me to you.
**[14:27] ---**
    Look, Karin...
**[14:29] ---**
    Isn't that...Sasuke's
    Curse Mark patterning?
**[14:32] ---**
    The Curse Mark is supposed
    to have lost its power...
**[14:35] ---**
    Sage Power is the source
    of Jugo's Curse Mark.
**[14:39] ---**
    And with Sasuke,
**[14:40] ---**
    back when I experimented with
    injecting Jugo's chakra into him,
**[14:44] ---**
    he immediately unleashed
    the Curse Mark.
**[14:48] ---**
    So it's not surprising
    for Sasuke's Susano'o
**[14:51] ---**
    to adapt to Jugo's chakra
    in similar fashion.
**[14:55] ---**
    In other words, you could call it
    a Sage Jutsu Susano'o.
**[15:00] ---**
    *Sasuke Uchiha, huh?*
**[15:02] ---**
    *He shows the same potential*
    *that Madara once did...*
**[15:05] ---**
    *You Uchiha...*
**[15:07] ---**
    Maybe I'll go over there too...
**[15:09] ---**
    You'll only be in the way.
**[15:10] ---**
    You'll get stabbed again.
**[15:12] ---**
    Bastard!
**[15:14] ---**
    *And Sasuke...*
**[15:16] ---**
    *Unlike these two in the back,*
    *your power...*
**[15:20] ---**
    *Rather, unlike any of my experiments...*
**[15:23] ---**
    *your power is nothing like theirs...*
**[15:26] ---**
    *I can tell...*
**[15:28] ---**
    *From my lifelong research*
    *and the data I've gathered...*
**[15:32] ---**
    *my instincts tell me...*
**[15:35] ---**
    *that you'll one day be a shinobi*
    *who surpasses Madara!*
**[15:41] ---**
    *And Naruto Uzumaki...*
**[15:44] ---**
    *You remind me so much*
    *of Elder Brother
**[15:45] ---**
    *when he was young.*
**[15:47] ---**
    *He's a foolish brat who spouts idealisms*
    *at the top of their voice.*
**[15:51] ---**
    *And yet, everyone likes and*
    *wants to depend on you.*
**[15:57] ---**
    Aim!
**[15:58] ---**
    Gotcha!
**[15:59] ---**
    It'll be too late for regrets,
    you know.
**[16:01] ---**
    Not that there's going to be
    a future for either of you.
**[16:07] ---**
    *Those two really*
    *went off to fight him?!*
**[16:10] ---**
    *Yeah... so then what should*
    *we all do?*
**[16:12] ---**
    *We can ask...*
    *when the Five Kage get here.*
**[16:15] ---**
    *Is that good enough?*
**[16:21] ---**
    *I'm looking forward to*
    *the battles we'll fight...*
**[16:24] ---**
    *...up until the time I achieve*
    *my true dream.*
**[16:27] ---**
    *What is your true dream?*
**[16:29] ---**
    *I thought everything we've aimed for*
    *is here in this village!*
**[16:33] ---**
    *You just can't see it.*
**[16:36] ---**
    *What's even further ahead...*
    *dreams of the far future.*
**[16:40] ---**
    *Then tell me about your dreams*
    *of the far future.*
**[16:44] ---**
    These are Lord First's memories?
**[16:47] ---**
    FIRE
**[16:48] ---**
    *Dreams of the future...*
    
    FIRE LIGHTNING
**[16:50] ---**
    FIRE LIGHTNING WIND
**[16:52] ---**
    FIRE LIGHTNING WIND EARTH
**[16:53] ---**
    FIRE LIGHTNING WIND EARTH WATER
**[16:59] ---**
    *The fact that we were able*
    *to convene this Five Kage Summit*
**[17:02] ---**
    *with the first Kage of each*
    *of the Five Nations...*
**[17:05] ---**
    *truly fills me...*
**[17:12] ---**
    *...with gratitude!*
**[17:16] ---**
    *Elder Brother!*
**[17:17] ---**
    *You are the Hokage, representing*
    *the Hidden Leaf of the Land of Fire!*
**[17:20] ---**
    *A person like you, need not bow*
    *to the other Kage!*
**[17:24] ---**
    *But...I'm so happy!*
**[17:27] ---**
    *Lord Hokage, raise your head...*
**[17:31] ---**
    *That's not becoming of*
    *a village leader...*
**[17:35] ---**
    *I did indeed come here to endorse*
    *the gist of Lord Hokage's pact,*
**[17:42] ---**
    *but I'm not just signing*
    *anything for free.*
**[17:45] ---**
    *If you behave too humbly,*
    *you'll make us suspicious.*
**[17:50] ---**
    *Distributing the Tailed Beasts that*
    *Lord Hokage has collected*
**[17:53] ---**
    *to the other villages*
**[17:55] ---**
    *is the condition of signing the treaty.*
**[17:58] ---**
    *This is a transaction,*
    *not something to get emotional over.*
**[18:02] ---**
    *Exactly, and we'll allocate*
    *the Tailed Beasts based on power,*
**[18:06] ---**
    *but you will be acquiring them*
    *for a price.*
**[18:09] ---**
    *Not for free?*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Shut up!*
**[18:16] ---**
    This was the very first summit!
**[18:18] ---**
    Yes, and it was what would lead
    to the end of minor conflicts.
**[18:33] ---**
    *In our village,*
    *a certain temple's disciples*
**[18:35] ---**
    *have long been sealing away*
    *a Tailed Beast.*
**[18:39] ---**
    *Since we already have one,*
    *we do not need another.*
**[18:44] ---**
    *Instead, we would like*
    *an alternative compensation*
**[18:47] ---**
    *for our collaboration in this pact.*
**[18:49] ---**
    *Would that be acceptable?*
**[18:52] ---**
    *What do you desire?*
**[18:54] ---**
    *Our nation is completely*
    *covered in sand.*
**[18:57] ---**
    *Thus, we'd like the adjoining Leaf*
**[18:59] ---**
    *to share arable land with us*
    *instead of a Tailed Beast.*
**[19:02] ---**
    *And the other nations to hand*
    *over 30%*
**[19:04] ---**
    *of your Tailed Beast*
    *purchase price as well.*
**[19:08] ---**
    *Don't mess around, Kazekage!*
**[19:09] ---**
    *What—?!*
**[19:10] ---**
    *You overstep your bounds,*
    *Lord Kazekage!*
**[19:13] ---**
    *I won't sign on unless*
    *all of you accept these terms!*
**[19:18] ---**
    *Mine is a desert-locked nation*
    *with zero fertility!*
**[19:21] ---**
    *It's only natural to use my village's*
    *Tailed Beast to full advantage*
**[19:25] ---**
    *in dealings with*
    *the four other Great Nations!*
**[19:28] ---**
    *We four nations could join up...*
**[19:30] ---**
    *and defeat the Land of Wind...*
**[19:49] ---**
    *It's true that we've never*
    *gotten along in the past...*
**[19:53] ---**
    *But we each did what we did*
    *to protect our brethren and clans.*
**[19:59] ---**
    *There were, perhaps,*
    *times when we had no other choice.*
**[20:02] ---**
    *And now, today, even if*
    *our Five Nation Treaty comes to be...*
**[20:06] ---**
    *I can't say how long it will last...*
**[20:08] ---**
    *or if we can even hold to it.*
**[20:12] ---**
    *But I have this dream,*
**[20:15] ---**
    *That sometime in the future...*
**[20:17] ---**
    *There will come a day when*
    *shinobi will collaborate,*
**[20:21] ---**
    *and help each other, with one heart,*
    *regardless of their affiliation.*
**[20:25] ---**
    *That is my...*
**[20:27] ---**
    *My dream of the future.*
**[20:34] ---**
    *I ask you to take the first step*
    *toward that dream today!*
**[20:38] ---**
    *So please, please, please, please...*
**[20:43] ---**
    I beg you!
**[20:45] ---**
    All of my, our beloved children!
**[20:49] ---**
    Now is the time to
    take all the pain,
**[20:51] ---**
    the suffering, and frustration
    we shinobi have endured...
**[20:56] ---**
    and weave it into
**[20:58] ---**
    Our true dream!
**[22:38] ---**
    Your past is filtering into me
    through the others.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki,
    you are uniting everyone right now.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Your tempestuous life made you
    into who you are.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    And your way of life has instilled
    hope in everyone!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Pursuing Hope."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Let's go!
    Let's cut down that tree!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    PURSUING HOPE
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Pursuing Hope*
**[01:32] ---**
    *It's true that we've never*
    *gotten along in the past...*
    
    *Pursuing Hope*
**[01:36] ---**
    *But we each did what we did*
    *to protect our brethren and clans.*
**[01:41] ---**
    *There perhaps were times*
    *we had no other choice.*
**[01:45] ---**
    *And now, today, even if*
    *our Five Nation Treaty comes to be...*
**[01:48] ---**
    *I can't say how long it will last...*
    *or if we can even hold to it.*
**[01:55] ---**
    *But I have this dream,*
    *that sometime in the future...*
**[01:58] ---**
    *there will come a day when*
    *shinobi will collaborate,*
**[02:00] ---**
    *and help each other, with one heart,*
    *regardless of their affiliation.*
**[02:07] ---**
    *That is my...*
**[02:08] ---**
    My dream of the future.
**[02:13] ---**
    Seems like our generation no longer
    needs to talk about that dream.
**[02:20] ---**
    Am I wrong?
**[02:21] ---**
    Indeed.
**[02:23] ---**
    That goes without saying.
**[02:25] ---**
    But if we don't win here,
    it won't come to be!
**[02:30] ---**
    Tsuchikage is right.
    Defeat is not an option.
**[02:35] ---**
    All right!
**[02:36] ---**
    We'll spread out and take command...
**[02:39] ---**
    and draw out the ultimate power
    from the Allied Forces!
**[02:43] ---**
    That is our primary duty
    as the Five Kage!
**[02:47] ---**
    – Scatter!
    – Scatter!
**[03:25] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[03:26] ---**
    I'll keep in sync with you!
**[03:37] ---**
    Incredible...
**[03:38] ---**
    What just happened?
**[03:40] ---**
    Naruto and Sasuke are
    attacking simultaneously.
**[03:44] ---**
    Did they succeed?
**[04:14] ---**
    You better be prepared...
**[04:20] ---**
    – I'll never let my comrades die!
    – I'll never let my comrades die!
**[04:36] ---**
    This is...!
**[04:41] ---**
    *Naruto!*
**[04:47] ---**
    *Even as he's fighting,*
    *he's helping his comrades recover...*
**[04:55] ---**
    *Naruto! Just focus on*
    *what only you can do!*
**[04:59] ---**
    *Leave the healing to me!*
**[05:02] ---**
    You don't understand, Sakura.
**[05:04] ---**
    Naruto is doing this unconsciously.
**[05:06] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:07] ---**
    His chakra is acting on its own,
**[05:09] ---**
    from his deep desire to
    help Shikamaru.
**[05:12] ---**
    I can sense it clearly from
    my Mind Transmission Jutsu.
**[05:22] ---**
    *Damn it, Naruto...*
    *You never change.*
**[05:28] ---**
    *You're always going overboard...*
**[05:31] ---**
    *Sticking your neck out for us...*
    *How far will you go...?*
**[05:34] ---**
    *All this time, you've never held back*
    *or compromised when it came to us.*
**[05:43] ---**
    *In front of you, I can't complain about*
    *what a drag things are...*
**[05:53] ---**
    Sorry, Dad...
**[05:57] ---**
    Naruto doesn't want me...
    to join you just yet.
**[06:01] ---**
    Shikamaru, stop talking!
**[06:04] ---**
    I‘m not letting you die!
**[06:07] ---**
    Naruto...rather, everybody needs you!
**[06:15] ---**
    *Dad...*
**[06:17] ---**
    *I only found out later that*
**[06:19] ---**
    *Naruto had gone through a ton*
    *of painful, bitter things on his own.*
**[06:27] ---**
    *I don't ever want him to*
    *go through that again,*
**[06:32] ---**
    *or at least that's how I feel...*
    *when I'm with him.*
**[06:41] ---**
    *I told you once, remember, Dad?*
**[06:47] ---**
    *Someday, he's going to become*
    *a very important ninja to this village.*
**[06:53] ---**
    *When I'm with Naruto...*
    *he makes me want to follow him.*
**[07:05] ---**
    *Unlike Lord First, that dumb Naruto*
    *doesn't have an adept brother...*
**[07:12] ---**
    *like Lord Second, to be his advisor.*
**[07:17] ---**
    *That's why... even more so...*
**[07:21] ---**
    *I need to stick around so that*
    *when he becomes the Hokage,*
**[07:24] ---**
    *I can stand next to that idiot.*
**[07:31] ---**
    *So I'm sorry, Dad...*
    *I can't join you just yet.*
**[07:39] ---**
    *There's no one more qualified than me*
    *to be Naruto's advisor.*
**[07:49] ---**
    *Naruto, thank you...*
**[07:53] ---**
    *Your chakra and the power*
    *of your heart saved him!*
**[07:58] ---**
    Yes! He's rallied!
**[08:00] ---**
    Thank you, Sakura.
**[08:03] ---**
    *Thank you, Naruto.*
**[08:05] ---**
    Don't overdo it, Shikamaru.
**[08:07] ---**
    You just might become
    my advisor instead!
**[08:13] ---**
    Don't worry, Akamaru.
**[08:15] ---**
    It's because a Kage can have
    up to three advisors.
**[08:19] ---**
    *I want to stay by Naruto too.*
**[08:23] ---**
    *I'll have to work hard!*
**[08:24] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[08:33] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[08:38] ---**
    You did well!
**[08:43] ---**
    Forgive me, Grandfather.
**[08:47] ---**
    Tsuna, don't apologize.
**[08:52] ---**
    I dragged this mess into
    my grandchildren's era.
**[08:55] ---**
    My cowardice is to blame...
**[08:58] ---**
    But your heart and dreams have
    also been passed down
**[09:02] ---**
    even beyond your grandchildren's era...
**[09:07] ---**
    Yes, your...
**[09:09] ---**
    Will of Fire!
**[09:11] ---**
    Hey!
**[09:16] ---**
    Why you...!
**[09:20] ---**
    All right!
**[09:21] ---**
    Let's cut down this giant tree while
    he is distracted by his battle!
**[09:30] ---**
    No matter how large it may be,
**[09:33] ---**
    that tree is nothing compared
    to this very earth!
**[09:38] ---**
    And the great earth,
    this land is on our side!
**[09:41] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[09:46] ---**
    *I'm begging you!*
**[09:48] ---**
    *I don't want us killing each other*
    *out of vengeance anymore!*
**[09:52] ---**
    *A ninja does not bow*
    *his head so easily!*
**[09:55] ---**
    *A ninja values action and strength!*
**[10:02] ---**
    *It seems those who become Hokage*
    *like prostrating themselves, but...*
**[10:07] ---**
    *As an act that relays one's heart,*
**[10:10] ---**
    *perhaps it can lead to strength*
    *and be meritorious too.*
**[10:14] ---**
    Let's go, everyone!
**[10:16] ---**
    Okay! Double lariat time, bro! Yeah!
**[10:20] ---**
    – Here we go!
    – Here we go!
**[10:22] ---**
    As a woman, I mustn't get
    a late start on battle...
**[10:27] ---**
    All right, everyone. Let's go!
**[10:29] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[10:41] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:52] ---**
    *Naruto...*
**[10:55] ---**
    *You have truly become a necessary*
    *existence to this world...*
**[11:00] ---**
    *What the two of us had*
    *always wanted to be.*
**[11:03] ---**
    *And you will now save*
    *the entire world, Naruto!*
**[11:07] ---**
    – Everyone, follow me!
    – Everyone, follow me!
**[11:09] ---**
    – Let's go!
    – Let's go!
**[11:21] ---**
    All right, I think I should
    get going now.
**[11:25] ---**
    The springtime of my youth…
    hasn't ended yet!
**[11:30] ---**
    Let's go, Lee! Tenten!
**[11:33] ---**
    – Yes!
    – Right!
**[11:35] ---**
    *Your past is filtering into me*
    *through the others.*
**[11:41] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki, you are uniting*
    *everyone right now.*
**[11:46] ---**
    *Your tempestuous life made you*
    *into who you are.*
**[11:51] ---**
    *And your way of life has given*
    *everyone's hearts hope!*
**[11:58] ---**
    Let us pursue hope! Onward!
**[12:08] ---**
    Let's do it!
**[12:11] ---**
    Let's go!
**[12:21] ---**
    Let's cut down that giant tree!
**[12:27] ---**
    We samurai must not waver either!
**[12:29] ---**
    Go forth!
**[12:34] ---**
    Let's go too.
**[12:35] ---**
    Are you okay though, Shikamaru?
**[12:37] ---**
    Yeah, I'm fully recovered.
**[12:40] ---**
    But what if that tree robs us
    of our chakra again...?
**[12:43] ---**
    Now that we know,
    just have to be careful.
**[12:49] ---**
    Fourth, I'm going to use the link
    between your chakra and Naruto's.
**[12:55] ---**
    I can't move simultaneously like you,
**[12:58] ---**
    but I'll still help protect them
    all with my Teleportation Jutsu.
**[13:03] ---**
    Orochimaru...
**[13:05] ---**
    Are you just going to spectate?
**[13:09] ---**
    I have no interest in this war.
**[13:15] ---**
    However, this dream of Obito's would
    lead to the elimination of this,
**[13:20] ---**
    my precious laboratory...
**[13:24] ---**
    So I suppose I cannot support it.
**[13:28] ---**
    Then lend me a hand.
**[13:32] ---**
    Fine then.
**[13:34] ---**
    I'll partake in a bit of nostalgia...
**[13:38] ---**
    and participate in some
    student and teacher teamwork!
**[13:45] ---**
    *I'll shift to a more offensive form!*
**[13:51] ---**
    What is it?!
**[13:52] ---**
    Do not panic!
**[13:53] ---**
    It's coming!
**[13:59] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:00] ---**
    What?
**[14:02] ---**
    *I'll use my Teleportation Jutsu*
    *to whisk anyone in danger away.*
**[14:06] ---**
    So go forth without fear!
**[14:07] ---**
    It's the voice of Lord Second!
**[14:09] ---**
    We can give it our all.
    It's because...
**[14:13] ---**
    Still, don't get careless!
**[14:15] ---**
    With two 100 Healings adepts,
    we can likely summon
**[14:18] ---**
    one-tenth of Katsuyu's actual body here
    from Shikkotsu Woods!
**[14:23] ---**
    We'll mold Katsuyu into
    the Allied Force's entire footing,
**[14:25] ---**
    into a Healing Area where one can
    be restored just by standing on her.
**[14:30] ---**
    Ready, Sakura?
**[14:31] ---**
    Yes!
**[14:34] ---**
    – Summoning Jutsu!
    – Summoning Jutsu!
**[14:40] ---**
    Ino! Have you relayed that to everyone?
**[14:42] ---**
    Yes!
**[14:47] ---**
    Huh? What's that going to do?
**[14:50] ---**
    Is this it?!
**[14:51] ---**
    This way, we can fight without
    our chakra being stolen!
**[14:54] ---**
    Oh, this is great!
**[14:56] ---**
    So this is the Healing Area?!
**[14:58] ---**
    If you understand,
    quit playing around and get going!
**[15:05] ---**
    *Where's Naruto?*
**[15:15] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[15:16] ---**
    *He really is fast...!*
**[15:18] ---**
    *But...*
**[15:20] ---**
    *I'm starting to sense him*
    *better and better!*
**[15:24] ---**
    – *Right there!*
    – *Right there!*
**[15:33] ---**
    It's about time that you go to sleep.
**[15:39] ---**
    I'll guide you into the dream.
**[15:44] ---**
    There's no time left!
**[16:06] ---**
    *Obito...*
**[16:08] ---**
    *I bet you really did want*
    *to confirm...*
**[16:24] ---**
    *whether a heart that never bends and*
    *a Will of Fire that does not waver...*
**[16:30] ---**
    *are truly possible.*
**[16:36] ---**
    *You gave up on them once.*
**[16:40] ---**
    *But after fighting Naruto*
    *and hearing his words...*
**[16:45] ---**
    *deep down, you're not able to deny*
    *that they might really exist.*
**[16:49] ---**
    *Isn't that right, Obito?*
**[16:54] ---**
    *And yet, you still search*
**[16:58] ---**
    *and test everyone and everything*
    *to prove yourself wrong.*
**[17:06] ---**
    *Which is why even now,*
    *as you stand at the precipice...*
**[17:25] ---**
    Huh?!
**[17:26] ---**
    What?!
**[17:27] ---**
    What is that?!
**[17:42] ---**
    What was that just now?!
**[17:44] ---**
    Naruto and Sasuke are...
**[17:48] ---**
    But wait...!
**[18:13] ---**
    *You seek the answer...in Naruto.*
**[18:23] ---**
    Why do you get up?!
**[18:26] ---**
    And what are you fighting for?
**[18:30] ---**
    Is it for your comrades?
    Or is it for this world?
**[18:40] ---**
    Listen, friends will eventually betray you.
**[18:46] ---**
    And this world transforms love
    into hatred.
**[18:51] ---**
    You should know!
**[18:55] ---**
    In the past, the people of the village
    and Sasuke betrayed you.
**[19:02] ---**
    And your love for Jiraiya
    made you hate.
**[19:11] ---**
    You and I are the same.
**[19:14] ---**
    The cumulative weight of all
    your suffering will change you in time.
**[19:19] ---**
    And now, even more pain
    shall assault you.
**[19:24] ---**
    And you still insist that
    you will not change?!
**[19:30] ---**
    You don't know when your friends
    will betray you again...
**[19:34] ---**
    Or if the Allied Forces might
    go back to fighting each other.
**[19:38] ---**
    And you don't even know
    if you can defeat me!
**[19:42] ---**
    There is no reason to keep on
    fighting for a world like this.
**[19:49] ---**
    In a few minutes,
    this world will be gone anyway.
**[19:56] ---**
    Why do you still fight?
**[20:09] ---**
    Because it's my Ninja Way.
**[20:16] ---**
    I never go back on my word.
**[20:20] ---**
    That's my Ninja Way.
**[20:32] ---**
    I thought I told you to go to sleep!
**[20:39] ---**
    Let's settle this with
    our next move, Naruto!
**[20:43] ---**
    Right!
**[20:55] ---**
    We'll sleep tomorrow,
    dreaming our own dreams!
**[22:36] ---**
    Obito...when people see someone
    trying twice as hard as others,
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    they instinctively start wanting
    to lend a hand.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    That's because people
    eventually learn that
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    they only have each other to
    fill the holes in their hearts.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    And he who possesses
    a heart filled with comrades...
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Heart Filled with Comrades"
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    ...is truly powerful!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    A HEART FILLED WITH COMRADES
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    There is no reason to keep on

    Right!

    We'll sleep tomorrow,

**[02:58] ---**
    *A Heart Filled with Comrades*
    
    
    
**[03:27] ---**
    *The Susano'o is...*
**[03:44] ---**
    That's...
**[03:48] ---**
    I believe this is what
    Madara did once before.
**[04:37] ---**
    This is... Naruto and Sasuke?
**[05:07] ---**
    Nothing you try now
    will change anything.
**[05:11] ---**
    Look above you...
**[05:13] ---**
    What can you see through
    that hole at the top?
**[05:17] ---**
    *I can see what Obito sees...*
**[05:19] ---**
    *and hear his voice.*
**[05:21] ---**
    *It's resonating.*
**[05:24] ---**
    The moon.
**[05:26] ---**
    The time to enter
    the moonlit dream world nears.
**[05:30] ---**
    The gaping hole of hell
    that has opened will be filled
**[05:33] ---**
    by the moon's dreams...
**[05:36] ---**
    That time is finally here!
**[05:43] ---**
    Look!
**[05:46] ---**
    There's nothing in my heart!
**[05:48] ---**
    I don't even feel pain anymore.
**[05:54] ---**
    Reality is cruel...
**[05:56] ---**
    This hole will only keep growing larger.
**[05:59] ---**
    How will you fill this hole
    by staying in this world?
**[06:06] ---**
    This sword is the divine blade
    of the Sage of the Six Paths...
**[06:09] ---**
    the Nunoboko.
**[06:12] ---**
    You can no longer defeat me.
**[06:15] ---**
    Strong emotions dwell within the blade.
**[06:18] ---**
    It's a sword of the soul.
**[06:20] ---**
    The Sage created the world
    with this blade.
**[06:26] ---**
    Hey...did you feel that... just now?
**[06:29] ---**
    Yeah...
**[06:30] ---**
    Tenten, isn't this...?
**[06:32] ---**
    Yeah. Let's go, Lee!
**[06:35] ---**
    He's calling us.
**[06:40] ---**
    My desire will vanquish you all.
**[06:43] ---**
    No matter how much you resist,
    it's useless.
**[06:47] ---**
    The power of the Sage will stop you.
**[06:51] ---**
    Sasuke...
**[06:52] ---**
    Let's focus everything on
    a single blow.
**[06:55] ---**
    I think we're only gonna have
    a tiny window to strike.
**[06:57] ---**
    Don't miss it.
**[07:10] ---**
    And I will use this sword
    to obliterate this world!
**[07:21] ---**
    *Obito...*
**[07:24] ---**
    *Even if it's someone*
    *they used to make fun of...*
**[07:27] ---**
    *when people see someone*
    *trying twice as hard as others,*
**[07:30] ---**
    *they instinctively start wanting*
    *to lend a hand.
**[07:33] ---**
    *That's because...*
**[07:35] ---**
    *people eventually learn*
    *that they only have each other*
**[07:39] ---**
    *to fill the holes in their hearts.*
**[07:47] ---**
    *I'm giving a Rasengan*
    *to each of you!
**[07:49] ---**
    *Use it to blast through his shield!*
**[07:53] ---**
    *This, right?*
**[07:56] ---**
    *Can I really do this?*
**[07:58] ---**
    *You can!*
**[08:01] ---**
    *And he who possesses*
    *a heart filled with comrades...*
**[08:13] ---**
    *is truly powerful!*
**[08:22] ---**
    *Go get him, everyone!*
**[10:00] ---**
    Why am I...
**[10:02] ---**
    seeing such images...?
**[11:16] ---**
    Just like we thought!
**[11:18] ---**
    The chakra you received
    from the Tailed Beasts earlier
**[11:20] ---**
    reacted to the Tailed Beast Chakra
    inside him and
**[11:23] ---**
    you were able to pull it all out
    in one shot!
**[11:25] ---**
    Yeah!
**[11:26] ---**
    *This wouldn't have worked*
**[11:28] ---**
    *if the Tailed Beasts hadn't taken a liking*
    *to you back then*
**[11:31] ---**
    *and shared their chakra with you.*
**[11:34] ---**
    *I only told you how to stop me.*
**[11:37] ---**
    *I never told you how to save me.*
**[11:40] ---**
    *You should have told me that*
    *from the beginning!*
**[11:43] ---**
    *Why aren't Tailed Beasts*
    *more straightforward?!*
**[11:48] ---**
    *So what are you gonna do?*
**[11:51] ---**
    *Before I tell you,*
    *I have something to pass on to you.*
**[11:54] ---**
    *What?*
**[11:56] ---**
    *Hold out your hand...*
**[11:57] ---**
    *Huh? You're giving me something?*
**[12:00] ---**
    *It's something good.*
**[12:02] ---**
    *It will come in handy one of these days.*
**[12:04] ---**
    *Hurry up!*
**[12:23] ---**
    *We assembled here*
    *on Four Tails summons...*
**[12:26] ---**
    *And hung around after promising to tell*
    *and give you something.*
**[12:30] ---**
    *Oh, he said something like that?*
**[12:36] ---**
    *I'm glad that you're all gathered together*
    *and getting along!*
**[12:40] ---**
    *That only happened after Four Tails*
    *and Roshi left here.*
**[12:46] ---**
    *It's all thanks to you, Naruto.*
**[12:48] ---**
    *Naruto, step forward*
    *and extend your hand...*
**[12:52] ---**
    *We shall now fulfill*
    *our promise to Four Tails...*
**[12:54] ---**
    *rather Son Goku.*
**[12:59] ---**
    *My name is Matatabi.*
**[13:02] ---**
    *Yugito Ni'i...*
**[13:04] ---**
    *My name is Isobu.*
**[13:06] ---**
    *We've met before, huh!*
**[13:08] ---**
    *I'm Yagura,*
    *the former Fourth Mizukage.*
**[13:13] ---**
    *I am Kokuo.*
**[13:14] ---**
    *I'm Han.*
**[13:17] ---**
    *Me, I be called Saiken.*
**[13:19] ---**
    *You already know me, I'm Utakata.*
**[13:22] ---**
    *I'm Lucky Seven Chomei.*
**[13:25] ---**
    *I'm Fu!*
**[13:38] ---**
    *Naruto...*
**[13:40] ---**
    *You really are something special...*
**[13:43] ---**
    Now!
**[13:58] ---**
    You know what to do next, right, Naruto?
**[14:01] ---**
    It's a tug-of-war!
**[14:03] ---**
    Just pull the Tailed Beasts' chakra
    right out of him!
**[14:06] ---**
    Yeah!
**[14:09] ---**
    Damn!
**[14:10] ---**
    I guess it won't work with One Tail
    and Eight Tails
**[14:12] ---**
    because we never got their chakra.
**[14:14] ---**
    One Tail used to be linked to me.
**[14:16] ---**
    I'll get him.
**[14:17] ---**
    Gaara!
**[14:22] ---**
    *Come here, Shukaku!*
**[14:25] ---**
    We finally found a weakness,
    that's the key!
**[14:27] ---**
    You can leave Eight-o's chakra to me!
**[14:34] ---**
    Octopops!
**[14:36] ---**
    Let's do this, Bee! Don't lose!
**[14:55] ---**
    Extract them!
**[14:56] ---**
    Then the only power he'll have left
    is the Ten Tails' shell!
**[15:00] ---**
    And the Divine Tree's bud
    will not bloom!
**[15:17] ---**
    They've stopped...
**[15:19] ---**
    *Which means...*
**[15:20] ---**
    *he's lost control of the Divine Tree!*
**[15:24] ---**
    *In other words...*
**[15:26] ---**
    *Everyone...*
**[15:30] ---**
    *Remember when I said that*
    *even a small power can be helpful*
**[15:32] ---**
    *depending on how it's used?*
**[15:34] ---**
    *Now is the time!*
**[15:36] ---**
    *That power will change*
    *the course of this world...*
**[15:40] ---**
    *Listen closely.*
**[17:38] ---**
    It's because your chakra
    is connected to his!
**[17:41] ---**
    His feelings will flow into you,
    but don't let them distract you!
**[17:44] ---**
    Don't underestimate
    the power of the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[17:47] ---**
    I'm equivalent to
    the Sage of the Six Paths!
**[18:00] ---**
    Just keep pulling, Naruto.
**[18:08] ---**
    Naruto! You're the one
    who asked us to lend a hand!
**[18:11] ---**
    So we're helping out until the very end!
**[18:13] ---**
    Guys!
**[18:15] ---**
    And that's not all...
**[18:26] ---**
    Everyone! Grab onto my chakra!
**[18:38] ---**
    This one?
**[18:40] ---**
    All right!
**[18:41] ---**
    Everyone, we'll do it together
    on my mark!
**[18:46] ---**
    Pull!
**[19:35] ---**
    *Are you saying…*
**[19:40] ---**
    *That I…*
**[19:43] ---**
    *I've got regrets...?!*
**[19:51] ---**
    *You once told me...*
**[19:53] ---**
    *"I'm nobody..*
**[19:54] ---**
    *"I don't want to be anybody..."*
**[19:57] ---**
    Stop! Don't come into my thoughts!
**[20:04] ---**
    But the truth is...
**[20:06] ---**
    You wanted to become the Hokage,
    just like me.
**[20:11] ---**
    It could have even ended up where
    I was chasing after your shadow...
**[20:18] ---**
    since I've always wanted
    to become the Hokage.
**[20:21] ---**
    I threw away the past
    and my naïve self!
**[20:24] ---**
    So don't tell me I'm—
**[20:25] ---**
    Then why am I able to see this?
**[20:28] ---**
    You can't hide behind a mask.
**[20:32] ---**
    You were Kakashi Sensei's friend...
**[20:35] ---**
    my dad's subordinate...
    an Uchiha like Sasuke...
**[20:40] ---**
    and a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf
    who had the same dream as me.
**[20:45] ---**
    What... What exactly...
**[20:48] ---**
    do you want with me?!
**[20:51] ---**
    To remind you that
    you are Obito Uchiha.
**[20:59] ---**
    I told you, didn't I?
**[21:01] ---**
    I swore I'd tear that mask
    right off your face!
**[22:37] ---**
    Obito Uchiha?!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    What meaning is there in that name...
    in that existence now?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Now that I've merged with the Ten Tails,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    I've transcended and
    attained enlightenment.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    In other words,
    I am no longer human.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I am the one who will lead mankind
    to its next stage.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Obito Uchiha"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    I am the Second Sage of the Six Paths!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    OBITO UCHIHA
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[02:54] ---**
    What meaning is there
    in that name...
**[02:56] ---**

**[02:59] ---**
    I have merged with Ten Tails.
**[03:02] ---**
    I have transcended and
    attained enlightenment.
**[03:06] ---**
    I am no longer human.
**[03:09] ---**
    I will guide mankind to
    the next stage.
**[03:13] ---**
    I possess the same will and body
    as the Sage of Six Paths.
**[03:17] ---**
    I am the Second Sage
    of the Six Paths!
**[03:19] ---**
    Wrong! You are Obito Uchiha!
**[03:24] ---**
    When our chakra touched earlier,
    I saw your past.
**[03:28] ---**
    Our personal histories and
**[03:30] ---**
    our dream of becoming Hokage
    are the same.
**[03:33] ---**
    Almost exactly alike.
**[03:36] ---**
    Neither of us knew our parents.
**[03:38] ---**
    And we both lost people
    precious to us.
**[03:42] ---**
    Which is why you tried
    to scare me
**[03:44] ---**
    by saying solitude is
    my worst nightmare.
**[03:48] ---**
    In the beginning,
**[03:49] ---**
    you too wanted to be acknowledged
    and praised by others!
**[03:53] ---**
    That's why you wanted
    to be Hokage...
**[03:57] ---**
    If you're the same as me, that is!
**[04:45] ---**
    But look at you now!
**[04:48] ---**
    You've turned all shinobi
    into enemies
**[04:49] ---**
    and you go spouting
    some nonsense
**[04:51] ---**
    that you're doing it for
    the sake of the world...
**[04:53] ---**
    when you're only doing it
    for yourself!
**[04:57] ---**
    No one...
**[04:59] ---**
    not even those
    precious to you
**[05:01] ---**
    would ever acknowledge
    this current dream of yours.
**[05:07] ---**
    You used to have
    the same dream as me.
**[05:10] ---**
    But now you've become
    the exact opposite of a Hokage!
**[05:13] ---**
    It's because you're just
    like me that...
**[05:14] ---**
    No, it's because of that....
**[05:18] ---**
    That I wanted to see you despair
    about this world.
**[05:25] ---**
    Or...I suppose I wanted
    to feel again for myself,
**[05:29] ---**
    that the path I have chosen
    for myself is not a mistake.
**[05:35] ---**
    When I was fighting you,
    you made me recall my youth.
**[05:40] ---**
    That's why I started wanting
    to test you.
**[05:44] ---**
    To see when you,
    someone who's just like me,
**[05:46] ---**
    would fall to despair...
**[05:49] ---**
    and abandon your feelings, your past.
**[05:52] ---**
    It's because we were so alike
    that I'm pissed off!
**[05:55] ---**
    You're just...abandoning everything
    and running away!
**[06:02] ---**
    No...
**[06:03] ---**
    What I'm doing is no different
    from a Hokage's actions.
**[06:07] ---**
    In fact, I'm doing even more...
**[06:10] ---**
    I can make peace a reality.
**[06:20] ---**
    Are you really serious?
**[06:27] ---**
    Do you really believe that?
**[06:42] ---**
    *You know, Rin, you saving me...*
**[06:44] ---**
    *is really the same as*
    *you saving the world.*
**[06:49] ---**
    *Hmm?*
**[06:51] ---**
    *I mean...*
**[06:52] ---**
    *It's because I'm gonna become*
    *the Hokage and end this war!*
**[06:57] ---**
    *For me to do that,*
**[06:58] ---**
    *I have to stay strong and*
    *healthy in this world.*
**[07:04] ---**
    *You get what I'm saying?*
**[07:06] ---**
    *Yeah! Though you're not*
    *making much sense...*
**[07:10] ---**
    *So...how do I put it...?*
**[07:15] ---**
    *If you don't stay close*
    *and keep an eye on me...*
**[07:21] ---**
    *I mean...*
**[07:26] ---**
    *Well...*
**[07:31] ---**
    *Y-You got so close all of a sudden!*
**[07:34] ---**
    *Don't scare me like that!*
**[07:36] ---**
    *You just said to stay close*
    *and keep an eye on you?*
**[07:44] ---**
    *Yeah, I did.*
**[07:45] ---**
    *So watch over me.*
**[07:48] ---**
    *I'm going to wear the Uchiha crest...*
**[07:51] ---**
    *And definitely become the Hokage!*
**[07:58] ---**
    *Okay!*
**[08:09] ---**
    Yes... That's how I feel.
**[08:14] ---**
    There's no need to voluntarily tread
    a steep and rugged path,
**[08:17] ---**
    not knowing what's ahead.
**[08:20] ---**
    You'll have to step over
    the corpses of your comrades.
**[08:24] ---**
    Anyone would choose a shortcut
    with a fixed outcome.
**[08:30] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:31] ---**
    The goal a Hokage should
    seek is world peace.
**[08:37] ---**
    What the hell are you talking about?
**[08:39] ---**
    What I want to know about
    isn't a shortcut...
**[08:44] ---**
    but how to navigate
    the steep and rugged path!
**[08:50] ---**
    Would you still say that
    if the final destination...
**[08:55] ---**
    were the same?
**[08:56] ---**
    Who can tell in the beginning
    which one is the dangerous one?
**[09:02] ---**
    You never know until
    someone starts walking.
**[09:06] ---**
    The Hokage is someone
    who endures the pain
**[09:09] ---**
    and takes the lead in front
    of everyone...
**[09:12] ---**
    So a Hokage never walks
    over his comrades' corpses.
**[09:16] ---**
    There is no shortcut to
    becoming the Hokage!
**[09:19] ---**
    And there are no ways out for
    the one who becomes Hokage!
**[09:23] ---**
    Isn't that right?
**[09:35] ---**
    Oh man, oh man, oh man!
**[09:37] ---**
    This is the one day I can't be late!
**[09:41] ---**
    ENTRANCE CEREMONY
**[09:52] ---**
    Where should we go?
**[09:54] ---**
    I don't know, where should we go?
**[09:58] ---**
    Where do you want to go?
**[10:02] ---**
    It's the entrance ceremony
    and you're already late...
**[10:06] ---**
    Someone like you has no business
    being in the Academy.
**[10:10] ---**
    You'll never make it.
**[10:11] ---**
    It's okay.
**[10:12] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    ENTRANCE REGISTRATION
**[10:14] ---**
    I got this for you.
**[10:17] ---**
    F-For me?
**[10:18] ---**
    Yes! Just submit this and
    you'll be able to enroll.
**[10:23] ---**
    Thank you! You're a lifesaver!
**[10:27] ---**
    Keep pampering him and
    he'll never be cured of his tardiness.
**[10:31] ---**
    Shut up! Do you wanna fight?
**[10:33] ---**
    Say that again!
**[10:34] ---**
    What?!
**[10:35] ---**
    It's your fault!
**[10:37] ---**
    What did you say, Kakashi?!
**[11:19] ---**
    A perfect score of 10!
**[11:22] ---**
    Wow, amazing!
**[11:44] ---**
    Hey! Are you trying to kill me?!
**[11:47] ---**
    S-Sorry!
**[11:57] ---**
    Begin!
**[12:24] ---**
    Stop right there!
**[12:44] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[12:48] ---**
    Um...um...
**[12:51] ---**
    What is it, Obito?
    I didn't call on you.
**[12:59] ---**
    That was so funny!
**[13:01] ---**
    He's so weird!
**[13:12] ---**
    Kakashi's taking
    the graduation exam?
**[13:14] ---**
    Yeah!
**[13:16] ---**
    But he's the same age as us.
**[13:18] ---**
    He's brilliant,
    so he's skipping a level!
**[13:21] ---**
    He should be taking
    the exam just about now.
**[13:24] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:54] ---**
    – Wow!
    – Wow!
**[13:57] ---**
    It's amazing!
**[14:02] ---**
    What's with that headband?
**[14:04] ---**
    You passed!
**[14:06] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[14:07] ---**
    Yeah...
**[14:12] ---**
    Aren't you going to congratulate me?
**[14:14] ---**
    As if! I'll catch up to you in no time!
**[14:18] ---**
    Just you wait!
**[14:25] ---**
    Obito...
**[14:43] ---**
    Class is starting. Let's go.
**[14:48] ---**
    Rin...
**[14:51] ---**
    Keep...
**[14:54] ---**
    Keep watching over me, okay?
**[14:56] ---**
    Huh?
**[14:59] ---**
    I...
**[15:01] ---**
    I'll catch up to him!
**[15:03] ---**
    Then I'll surpass him and...
**[15:06] ---**
    I'll become the Hokage,
    no matter what!
**[15:12] ---**
    Yes. Don't worry, I'll be watching.
**[15:19] ---**
    All right!
**[15:20] ---**
    I'm gonna do my best!
**[16:23] ---**
    *No good...*
**[16:26] ---**
    *It's no good.*
    *Of course I totally failed...*
**[16:29] ---**
    *Damn it...*
    *I still can't catch up to him...*
**[16:42] ---**
    *What do...I say to Rin?*
**[16:51] ---**
    So there you are!
**[16:54] ---**
    You just dashed out
    of the classroom.
**[16:56] ---**
    I-I'm sorry.
**[16:59] ---**
    I looked all over you.
    Here you go!
**[17:04] ---**
    Don't tell me I...?
**[17:08] ---**
    Congratulations! From today,
    you are a full-fledged shinobi.
**[17:18] ---**
    I did it!
**[17:19] ---**
    However...!
**[17:20] ---**
    The difficult days as
    a Genin are just beginning!
**[17:23] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[17:24] ---**
    Hereafter, you will be part
    of a three-man squad.
**[17:27] ---**
    Each cell has a Jonin in command
**[17:30] ---**
    and you will fulfill
    your missions as a team.
**[17:56] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[18:01] ---**
    You wanted to see me?
**[18:03] ---**
    I want to ask you a favor.
**[18:06] ---**
    The one who just left...
**[18:08] ---**
    Isn't he Kakashi Hatake?
**[18:11] ---**
    Yes...
**[18:12] ---**
    The White Fang of the Hidden Leaf...
**[18:14] ---**
    Sakumo Hatake's orphaned son.
**[18:17] ---**
    Is there an issue with him?
**[18:19] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake is
    an extremely talented shinobi.
**[18:23] ---**
    However, he fusses too much
    about sticking to the rules
**[18:26] ---**
    and clashes with his superiors
    and teammates.
**[18:35] ---**
    He may excel in technique,
**[18:37] ---**
    but as a human
    he has much to learn.
**[18:41] ---**
    His father broke the rules
    to protect his comrades,
**[18:43] ---**
    then took his own life...
**[18:47] ---**
    His death has cast a shadow
    over Kakashi.
**[18:50] ---**
    And you want to place him
    under my supervision...
**[18:54] ---**
    I know what you want to say.
**[18:57] ---**
    But our village has lost
    many Jonin and Chunin
**[19:01] ---**
    due to the long war.
**[19:05] ---**
    I can make an allowance
    only so much,
**[19:08] ---**
    and I must send
    the young ones to war.
**[19:14] ---**
    I understand.
**[19:20] ---**
    Goodness! How long will
    you keep me waiting?!
**[19:23] ---**
    I beg your pardon!
    He'll be here shortly.
**[19:26] ---**
    As usual, he's late.
**[19:29] ---**
    Don't worry. He'll be here.
**[19:31] ---**
    You're too easy on him, Rin.
**[19:41] ---**
    Sorry I'm late!
**[19:44] ---**
    Rin?
**[19:45] ---**
    You're late!
**[19:48] ---**
    Damn it... It's always like this.
**[19:50] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[19:52] ---**
    Whoa...
**[19:53] ---**
    Okay, cut it out.
**[19:56] ---**
    Mr. Genzo is tired of waiting!
    Hurry and line up.
**[20:04] ---**
    All right. Look this way!
**[20:09] ---**
    It's a commemorative photo.
    Look at the lens!
**[22:38] ---**
    You just couldn't throw away
    the memories of my dad,
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    or Kakashi Sensei,
    or this Rin person, could you?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    You tried to run away from
    every single thing.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I bet this Rin person would say this
    if she were still alive...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "I'm Always Watching"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    "I'm always watching," you know.
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    I'M ALWAYS WATCHING
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *I'm Always Watching*
    
    
**[02:04] ---**
    What the heck...
**[02:05] ---**
    Minato Sensei tells us to assemble
    and he's the one who's late!
**[02:08] ---**
    Give me a break...
**[02:10] ---**
    You're one to talk!
**[02:11] ---**
    What did you say?
**[02:12] ---**
    Eh?
**[02:13] ---**
    Come on, you two...
**[02:15] ---**
    Want to do this?
**[02:17] ---**
    Hey! Did you just scoff at me?
**[02:20] ---**
    What of it?
**[02:21] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[02:22] ---**
    You're all here, I see.
**[02:28] ---**
    Minato Sensei!
    Do we have a new mission?!
**[02:31] ---**
    Not today.
**[02:37] ---**
    What is that?
**[02:39] ---**
    They're applications.
**[02:41] ---**
    I recommended you three
    for promotion to Chunin.
**[02:52] ---**
    Minato Sensei... You're awesome!
**[02:55] ---**
    Hey...
**[02:56] ---**
    Don't jump the gun.
**[02:57] ---**
    Huh?
**[02:58] ---**
    You have to take
    the Chunin Exam first.
**[03:02] ---**
    What...
**[03:03] ---**
    There are three parts
    to the exam
**[03:07] ---**
    and each one is quite difficult.
**[03:09] ---**
    Oh... Are you kidding me?
**[03:13] ---**
    You'll never pass since
    you can't even make it
**[03:16] ---**
    to a rendezvous on time.
**[03:17] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[03:18] ---**
    Hey, you two!
**[03:20] ---**
    Anyway...
**[03:22] ---**
    You've worked together
**[03:23] ---**
    and earned the right to take
    the Chunin Exam.
**[03:27] ---**
    That's why I recommended you.
**[03:28] ---**
    However, it's not compulsory.
**[03:32] ---**
    Whether you take the exam
    or not is entirely up to you.
**[03:39] ---**
    I wouldn't miss it...!
**[03:46] ---**
    CHUNIN EXAM
    PART ONE
**[03:49] ---**
    *Aw man!*
**[03:51] ---**
    *This is a Chunin Exam,*
**[03:52] ---**
    *so I was expecting stuff like*
    *ninjutsu and taijutsu...*
**[03:55] ---**
    *But this is a written test...*
    *the kind I'm weakest in!*
**[04:08] ---**
    Finished already?
**[04:09] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:16] ---**
    *Th-That Kakashi...!*
**[04:21] ---**
    *Aw man, I'm done for...*
**[04:29] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:41] ---**
    I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU
    -RIN
**[04:51] ---**
    *Rin...*
**[05:17] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
**[05:19] ---**
    There it is!
**[05:20] ---**
    I did it!
**[05:26] ---**
    KAKASHI HATAKE
**[05:29] ---**
    Well...
**[05:31] ---**
    What did you expect?
**[05:35] ---**
    That was just a written test!
**[05:38] ---**
    Just wait and see!
    I'll find my name!
**[06:00] ---**
    END OF LIST
**[06:02] ---**
    I guess not...
**[06:05] ---**
    Obito!
**[06:06] ---**
    Look! There!
**[06:10] ---**
    THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN
    ACCEPTED DUE TO A VACANCY
    OBITO UCHIHA
**[06:19] ---**
    I did it!
**[06:21] ---**
    A vacancy, huh...
    That's so like you.
**[06:23] ---**
    What?!
**[06:24] ---**
    Come on, you two.
**[06:27] ---**
    You don't have time
    to celebrate!
**[06:31] ---**
    If you passed,
    go to your assigned classroom!
**[06:33] ---**
    We'll explain the second part
    of the exam.
**[06:39] ---**
    Part Two will commence
    three days from now.
**[06:41] ---**
    This will test your physical skills.
**[06:43] ---**
    Use everything you learned
    about taijutsu and ninjutsu...
**[06:48] ---**
    to get through this exam!
**[06:50] ---**
    All right! I got this!
**[06:52] ---**
    However, this test pits
    your team against others.
**[06:56] ---**
    Huh? It's not
    an individual competition?!
**[06:59] ---**
    Kakashi! You'd better not
    drag us down!
**[07:05] ---**
    Right back at you.
**[07:07] ---**
    What?!
**[07:10] ---**
    Will you two stop it?!
**[07:21] ---**
    Especially...don't be late.
**[07:25] ---**
    I know!
**[07:27] ---**
    CHUNIN EXAM PART TWO
    TEAM COMPETITION
**[07:48] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake is also
    participating in the test, right?
**[07:51] ---**
    Yes, he's on the next team.
**[07:54] ---**
    Ah, I'm looking forward to this.
**[08:16] ---**
    KAKASHI OBITO RIN
    GUY EBISU GENMA
    IBIKI HAYATE TOKARA
**[08:22] ---**
    Team Minato,
    you have five minutes left.
**[08:24] ---**
    Will he make it?!
**[08:26] ---**
    Yes! I'm sure he'll be here
    in a minute.
**[08:30] ---**
    If time runs out,
    you'll be automatically disqualified.
**[08:35] ---**
    I knew it! Didn't I tell you?!
**[08:40] ---**
    You're too easy on him, Rin.
**[08:41] ---**
    That's why he'll never break
    this habit of being late!
**[08:44] ---**
    He'll be here.
**[08:46] ---**
    Something must've happened
    to delay him.
**[08:50] ---**
    He'll make it in time.
**[08:54] ---**
    I wouldn't be so sure.
**[08:59] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
**[09:05] ---**
    Here, have some candy.
**[09:10] ---**
    3:00 pm.
**[09:13] ---**
    It's time to begin.
**[09:14] ---**
    Damn it, all because of him!
**[09:18] ---**
    I know he'll...
**[09:20] ---**
    I'm sorry I'm late!
**[09:27] ---**
    See! I told you Obito would make it,
    no matter what!
**[09:31] ---**
    Hurry, before we're disqualified!
**[09:37] ---**
    Oh, boy!
**[09:39] ---**
    We will now begin part two,
    the team competition...
**[09:42] ---**
    Preliminary qualifier!
**[09:44] ---**
    Begin!
**[09:49] ---**
    *Fire Style! Fireball—*
**[10:22] ---**
    CHUNIN EXAM PART THREE
    INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION
**[10:28] ---**
    I'm going to have you pay me back
    in full for the last time.
**[10:33] ---**
    The "last time"?
**[10:34] ---**
    What?!
**[10:35] ---**
    Don't tell me
    you don't remember?!
**[10:37] ---**
    Who are you?
**[10:39] ---**
    What did I do to earn
    your wrath?!
**[10:41] ---**
    Why you—!
**[10:42] ---**
    Don't take me for a fool!
**[10:44] ---**
    Do your best, Obito!
**[10:51] ---**
    All right... Just watch me!
**[10:53] ---**
    Begin!
**[10:55] ---**
    Huh?!
**[11:00] ---**
    The winner is Might Guy!
**[11:02] ---**
    What is he doing?
**[11:17] ---**
    Do your best!
**[11:21] ---**
    Go...!
**[11:22] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[11:36] ---**
    Stop!
**[11:37] ---**
    The winner is Kakashi Hatake!
**[11:40] ---**
    He did it!
**[11:49] ---**
    You passed the Chunin Exam
    on your first try.
**[11:52] ---**
    Kakashi, you're amazing!
    Isn't he, Obito?
**[11:57] ---**
    Humph.
**[12:00] ---**
    Obito...
**[12:23] ---**
    So this is where you were.
**[12:29] ---**
    O-Oh, it's you, Rin.
**[12:34] ---**
    It's only natural
    that Kakashi passed.
**[12:37] ---**
    But we can too, I know it!
**[12:41] ---**
    Let's practice hard
    for next year!
**[12:43] ---**
    But it's hard to get motivated
    after watching Kakashi...
**[12:48] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[12:55] ---**
    You're going to be Hokage, right?
**[12:59] ---**
    I'm always watching you!
**[13:04] ---**
    Yeah!
**[13:39] ---**
    Obito?
**[13:44] ---**
    I did it!
**[13:45] ---**
    I'm a Chunin now!
**[13:47] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[13:56] ---**
    Meet me later at the park
    under the cherry tree.
**[14:04] ---**
    *Today for sure...*
**[14:05] ---**
    *I'm going to tell Rin*
    *how I feel about her!*
**[14:10] ---**
    Sorry I'm late...
**[14:13] ---**
    – No...
    – Everyone!
**[14:15] ---**
    Everyone?
**[14:17] ---**
    Why? Uh, Why...
**[14:20] ---**
    Why is everyone here?!
**[14:22] ---**
    I asked them to come
    to discuss the gift.
**[14:26] ---**
    Huh? What gift?!
**[14:29] ---**
    Well, Kakashi is being promoted
    to Jonin.
**[14:33] ---**
    So, we're going to...
    give him a present.
**[14:37] ---**
    CLASS PROJECT
    GIFT FOR KAKASHI'S PROMOTION
    TO JONIN
    (TOP SECRET MISSION)
**[14:40] ---**
    Kakashi's a Jonin?
**[14:41] ---**
    Oh? Didn't you know, Obito?
**[14:45] ---**
    It's something to be proud of
    as his classmates.
**[14:49] ---**
    Yeah...
**[14:56] ---**
    What do you think
    Kakashi would like?
**[15:00] ---**
    Well... Since we're talking about him,
**[15:03] ---**
    it should be
    something useful.
**[15:13] ---**
    Now we'll do combat training.
**[15:16] ---**
    It might just be training,
**[15:18] ---**
    but if you're not alert,
    it can be fatal. Understood?
**[15:21] ---**
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
**[15:56] ---**
    Well...I guess that's it!
**[16:03] ---**
    Show me your left hand!
**[16:05] ---**
    Hey, it's nothing...
**[16:09] ---**
    It's just a scrape.
**[16:10] ---**
    A little spit will take care of it.
**[16:12] ---**
    Whatever! Just show me!
**[16:22] ---**
    I messed up...
**[16:24] ---**
    I got some sand in my eyes and...
**[16:34] ---**
    A scar or two on a man
    is a badge of courage!
**[16:39] ---**
    I was just thinking how
    I needed that.
**[16:43] ---**
    So this wound's...
**[16:45] ---**
    Ouch!
**[16:52] ---**
    Don't act tough and
    hide your wounds.
**[16:55] ---**
    I'm always watching you.
**[16:59] ---**
    You promised me that you would
    become Hokage, Obito.
**[17:03] ---**
    Listen, I want to stop this war too.
**[17:06] ---**
    I really want to save the world.
**[17:10] ---**
    So I decided to stick by your side
    and watch over you.
**[17:18] ---**
    You told me saving you
**[17:20] ---**
    was the same as saving
    the world, remember?
**[17:30] ---**
    Yeah...
**[17:31] ---**
    Since I'm keeping an eye on you,
**[17:34] ---**
    you can't hide anything
    from me anymore.
**[17:37] ---**
    Okay! Okay!
**[17:40] ---**
    Go for it, Obito!
**[17:43] ---**
    Become Hokage and show me
    how you'll save the world.
**[17:47] ---**
    That's another promise!
**[17:51] ---**
    Let's go!
**[18:22] ---**
    You...
**[18:24] ---**
    You told Kakashi Sensei
    you would throw away
**[18:26] ---**
    all your memories and feelings
    about your comrades.
**[18:30] ---**
    But when you became
    the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki
**[18:32] ---**
    and were about to
    be taken over by it...
**[18:45] ---**
    Didn't you try to suppress
    the Ten Tails
**[18:47] ---**
    because you didn't want that?
**[19:17] ---**
    The reason why you beat
    the Ten Tails and could control it
**[19:21] ---**
    was because you stood firm
    on not throwing away the past
**[19:24] ---**
    and stayed yourself, right?
**[19:27] ---**
    You just couldn't throw out
    the memories of
**[19:29] ---**
    my dad, Kakashi Sensei or
    this Rin person, could you?
**[19:36] ---**
    That's how you could stay Obito
**[19:38] ---**
    even after you became
    the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[19:43] ---**
    Am I wrong?
**[19:52] ---**
    But dragging everyone with you
    onto your path
**[19:57] ---**
    and continuing on it
    won't be allowed!
**[19:59] ---**
    I'm bringing you back
    as Obito Uchiha...
**[20:03] ---**
    as a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf...
**[20:05] ---**
    and you're going to atone
    for your sins.
**[20:11] ---**
    You tried to run away
    from every single thing.
**[20:14] ---**
    *The only thing that awaits you...*
**[20:18] ---**
    *is your personal nightmare.*
**[20:25] ---**
    *Solitude!*
**[20:27] ---**
    *So why keep living in reality?*
**[20:31] ---**
    *Now come join us, Naruto!*
**[20:34] ---**
    I bet this Rin person would say this
    if she were still alive...
**[20:39] ---**
    *Don't act tough and*
    *hide your wounds.*
**[20:42] ---**
    *I'm always watching.*
**[20:47] ---**
    You're no one else but you,
    damn it!
**[20:50] ---**
    Don't run away!
**[20:53] ---**
    Come join us...
**[20:56] ---**
    Obito!
**[22:37] ---**
    I will never go over to your side!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I have no regrets with
    my path up until now.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    I told you I saw everything.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Then don't keep imagining
    yourself as Hokage!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    The person Rin wanted to
    watch over isn't the current you...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Promise That Was Kept"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    It was Obito Uchiha!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE PROMISE THAT WAS KEPT
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:31] ---**
    *The Promise That Was Kept*
    
    
    
**[02:32] ---**
    I will never go over
    to your side!
**[02:36] ---**
    I have no regrets with
    my path up until now.
**[02:39] ---**
    I told you I saw everything.
**[02:46] ---**
    So…
**[02:48] ---**
    don't…
**[02:52] ---**
    keep imagining yourself as Hokage!
**[03:13] ---**
    The person Rin wanted to watch over
    isn't the current you…
**[03:18] ---**
    It was Obito Uchiha.
**[03:33] ---**
    *We're late again because*
    *of you…Obito.*
**[03:37] ---**
    *Let's go, Obito.*
**[03:40] ---**
    *Sorry! We'll be right there.*
**[03:43] ---**
    Rin…
**[04:08] ---**
    That's right…
**[04:10] ---**
    You ought to fill in that hole
    in your heart yourself…
**[04:13] ---**
    Others will be of no help.
**[04:18] ---**
    So…come over here.
**[04:21] ---**
    I won't ignore you.
**[04:24] ---**
    Come…
**[04:25] ---**
    Come…
**[04:26] ---**
    Obito…
**[04:27] ---**
    Hold on, Rin!
**[04:34] ---**
    That's right… Rin won't even turn
    to look at the current you.
**[04:38] ---**
    The one Rin wanted to watch over
    is Obito Uchiha.
**[04:43] ---**
    Enough already…
**[04:45] ---**
    I am…
**[04:48] ---**
    Obito Uchiha!
**[04:49] ---**
    Now just come over, you bastard!
**[04:53] ---**
    Everyone's power…
**[06:04] ---**
    Don't you dare underestimate it!
**[06:06] ---**
    They're out!
**[06:15] ---**
    – All right!
    – We did it!
**[06:18] ---**
    – We did it!
    – We did it!
**[06:20] ---**
    Yes!
**[06:40] ---**
    *Did I…lose?*
**[07:18] ---**
    *The gaping hole of hell*
    *that has opened*
**[07:21] ---**
    *will be filled by*
    *the moon's dreams…*
**[07:24] ---**
    *There's nothing in my heart!*
**[07:27] ---**
    *I don't even feel pain anymore.*
**[07:31] ---**
    *Don't feel so guilty, Kakashi.*
**[07:34] ---**
    *This hole was opened*
    *by this hellish world.*
**[07:38] ---**
    *Do you really think that*
    *something like this*
**[07:41] ---**
    *can fill that hole in your heart?!*
**[07:45] ---**
    *Don't erase the memories*
    *of the real Rin!*
**[07:49] ---**
    *Rin sacrificed herself to protect*
    *and save the village!*
**[07:54] ---**
    *You can try and fill that hole*
    *with delusions all by yourself…*
**[07:57] ---**
    *But that hole will never be filled!*
**[08:02] ---**
    *The hole in one's heart gets filled*
    *by others around you.*
**[08:21] ---**
    Let's go.
**[08:43] ---**
    Rin…
**[09:08] ---**
    You kept your promise,
    Naruto Uzumaki!
**[09:13] ---**
    *That's why I want*
    *to save you too…*
**[09:17] ---**
    And you really rescued us!
**[09:21] ---**
    Right, Son!
**[09:23] ---**
    We were lucky.
**[09:25] ---**
    He did it.
**[09:27] ---**
    For real.
**[09:29] ---**
    You're right.
**[09:30] ---**
    I'm so glad!
**[09:34] ---**
    Isn't he…?
**[09:51] ---**
    H-Hey!
**[09:52] ---**
    Wait, Sasuke!
**[09:55] ---**
    Where is he?!
    Where'd he go?!
**[09:57] ---**
    Over there! He's still alive!
**[10:10] ---**
    *Right…I've lost…*
**[10:20] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[10:22] ---**
    Sasuke, we'll talk later.
**[10:25] ---**
    I apologize for appearing
    so suddenly…
**[10:27] ---**
    But I was once
    his classmate and friend…
**[10:31] ---**
    So please let me
    take responsibility for him.
**[10:35] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[10:36] ---**
    He's now—!
**[10:45] ---**
    Dad!
**[10:49] ---**
    He's weak now!
**[10:50] ---**
    Now's the time to finish him!
**[10:53] ---**
    Let's go!
**[10:53] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[10:54] ---**
    Hold it!
**[11:03] ---**
    Obito…
**[11:10] ---**
    When we had that
    chakra tug-of-war just now,
**[11:12] ---**
    I got to see inside your heart.
**[11:18] ---**
    It seems like my son nagged
    and lectured you quite a bit.
**[11:22] ---**
    I think he might have gotten that
    from his mother.
**[11:25] ---**
    Dad…
**[11:28] ---**
    But that duty actually falls…
    on you.
**[11:34] ---**
    I think the one who truly
    understands Obito
**[11:37] ---**
    and should talk to him…
**[11:40] ---**
    is you, his friend…Kakashi.
**[11:47] ---**
    Isn't that right, Naruto?
**[12:08] ---**
    Naruto, you two and
    the Allied Forces should go
**[12:11] ---**
    and help Lord First,
    and seal Madara away.
**[12:15] ---**
    Oh, right! We still need
    to deal with him!
**[12:19] ---**
    Let's go, Sasuke!
**[12:22] ---**
    I think you were younger
    than Naruto is now.
**[12:27] ---**
    Do you remember?
**[12:29] ---**
    All the missions that
    the four of us went on?
**[12:32] ---**
    As a Medic Ninja, Rin did
    her utmost to protect you two.
**[12:37] ---**
    She would never have wished
    for a situation like this.
**[12:51] ---**
    But what caused this
    is my responsibility.
**[13:01] ---**
    *Can I start explaining*
    *the mission to you?*
**[13:04] ---**
    *We're close to the border.*
**[13:11] ---**
    *All right, it's this line.*
**[13:14] ---**
    *It shows where the Land of Earth*
    *is currently invading*
**[13:17] ---**
    *the Hidden Grass Village.*
**[13:19] ---**
    *Hidden Stone Shinobi*
    *are our enemies…*
**[13:23] ---**
    *We have received intel*
    *that 1000 ninja*
**[13:25] ---**
    *already make up the front line.*
**[13:28] ---**
    *They've advanced farther*
    *than last time.*
**[13:31] ---**
    *The Land of Fire shares borders*
    *with the Hidden Grass.*
**[13:33] ---**
    *We should have stepped*
    *in long ago.*
**[13:37] ---**
    *Judging by the size of this advance…*
**[13:40] ---**
    *they must have an efficient system*
    *for reinforcement.*
**[13:44] ---**
    *Hence, our mission is here…*
    *at Kannabi Bridge.*
**[13:49] ---**
    *To crush one's enemy*
    *at the battlefront*
**[13:51] ---**
    *requires an immense number*
    *of ninja.*
**[13:54] ---**
    *So shinobi like us,*
    *who focus on sabotage missions,*
**[13:56] ---**
    *are forced to work in small,*
    *select teams.*
**[13:59] ---**
    *The bridge…you say?*
**[14:02] ---**
    *Then it's an infiltration mission?*
**[14:08] ---**
    *Team Kakashi…*
**[14:09] ---**
    *Your mission is to infiltrate*
    *the enemy's rear territory.*
**[14:13] ---**
    *You will destroy this bridge*
**[14:16] ---**
    *which is used to transport supplies*
    *and reinforcements.*
**[14:18] ---**
    *And when this is done,*
    *withdraw immediately.*
**[14:21] ---**
    – *Yes, sir!*
    – *Yes, sir!*
**[14:26] ---**
    *And you, Sensei?*
**[14:28] ---**
    *I will face the enemy directly*
    *on the battlefront.*
**[14:31] ---**
    *I'll create a diversion for you.*
**[14:34] ---**
    *In any case,*
    *Kakashi is your captain today.*
**[14:37] ---**
    *We'll travel together to the border,*
**[14:39] ---**
    *but after that*
    *your mission commences!*
**[14:44] ---**
    – *Yes, sir!*
    – *Yes, sir!*
**[14:46] ---**
    *We'll be splitting up into*
    *two teams from this point.*
**[14:49] ---**
    *Good luck to you all.*
**[14:50] ---**
    *The enemy the other day was*
    *doing surveillance alone.*
**[14:54] ---**
    *But here on out,*
    *we'll be fighting teams.*
**[14:56] ---**
    *Be careful…*
**[14:58] ---**
    *Let's get going, Captain.*
**[15:16] ---**
    It's no coincidence that I,
    who should be dead,
**[15:18] ---**
    am standing before
    you two like this.
**[15:21] ---**
    Perhaps it was Rin
    who made it happen…
**[15:23] ---**
    Her way of scolding me
    for failing as your teacher.
**[15:35] ---**
    I'm sorry I couldn't protect Rin.
**[15:51] ---**
    Rin…
**[15:53] ---**
    Rin was my only light and hope.
**[15:59] ---**
    After I lost Rin…
**[16:01] ---**
    The world as I saw it, changed.
**[16:05] ---**
    It became a pitch black hell.
**[16:07] ---**
    There's no hope in this world.
**[16:10] ---**
    I took Madara's identity
    and walked the world.
**[16:14] ---**
    But all it did was confirm my belief.
**[16:17] ---**
    Even with my Sharingan,
    I couldn't see anything…
**[16:23] ---**
    There was nothing to see.
**[16:28] ---**
    I don't know anything
    for sure either…
**[16:34] ---**
    Then…my new path is—!
**[16:37] ---**
    Without a doubt,
    your path is just one of many.
**[16:43] ---**
    And it may not actually
    be wrong either.
**[16:52] ---**
    I've thought this world was hell too.
**[16:56] ---**
    I thought that you had died…
**[16:59] ---**
    And right after that, I lost Rin…
**[17:01] ---**
    And I lost Minato Sensei as well.
**[17:06] ---**
    But…
**[17:13] ---**
    *Oh yeah… I forgot…*
**[17:20] ---**
    *I was the only one*
    *who didn't give you a gift…*
**[17:26] ---**
    *for becoming a Jonin, Kakashi.*
**[17:32] ---**
    *I was wondering…*
    *what to give you…*
**[17:37] ---**
    *and I just had a thought.*
**[17:42] ---**
    *Don't worry…*
**[17:45] ---**
    *It's not some useless,*
    *extra baggage…*
**[17:52] ---**
    *I'm giving you…my Sharingan.*
**[18:01] ---**
    *Whatever the village may say,*
**[18:05] ---**
    *you are a great Jonin.*
**[18:09] ---**
    *That's how I really feel…*
**[18:13] ---**
    *So please accept it.*
**[18:17] ---**
    Even though I don't know
    anything for sure…
**[18:19] ---**
    I tried my best to see
    the world with this eye.
**[18:22] ---**
    I felt that as long as I had
    your Sharingan and words…
**[18:25] ---**
    I could see it.
**[18:31] ---**
    And what you saw is Naruto?
**[18:36] ---**
    How can you be sure
    his path won't fail?
**[18:42] ---**
    No…
**[18:44] ---**
    He may very well fail too.
    Of course.
**[18:52] ---**
    How is Naruto different from me?
**[18:55] ---**
    Why do you go so far for him?
**[18:57] ---**
    Because I can say
    without hesitation
**[18:59] ---**
    that he is less likely to fail
    than the current you.
**[19:02] ---**
    Why is that?!
**[19:07] ---**
    Because if he trips and stumbles
    on his path…
**[19:11] ---**
    I'll help him.
**[19:17] ---**
    Why would you help him?
**[19:30] ---**
    He would never give up
    on his dreams…or on reality.
**[19:36] ---**
    That's the kind of guy he is.
**[19:38] ---**
    Found him!
**[19:42] ---**
    And the way he forges ahead
    draws others towards him.
**[19:46] ---**
    He makes you want to reach out
    when he's about to stumble.
**[19:49] ---**
    And the greater
    the support behind you,
**[19:51] ---**
    the closer you can get to your goal.
**[19:55] ---**
    That's the difference.
**[20:18] ---**
    Massive Rasen Shuriken!
**[20:20] ---**
    Bigger! We'll go with something
    even bigger!
**[20:23] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[20:27] ---**
    Do you really believe
    such a thing is possible
**[20:32] ---**
    in this pitch-black hell?
**[20:34] ---**
    I'm sure you could've seen it too,
    if you had tried.
**[20:38] ---**
    After all,
    you and I have the same eyes.
**[20:43] ---**
    If comrades that you trust,
    gather around you…
**[20:46] ---**
    hope can take physical form
    and become visible.
**[20:52] ---**
    That's what I believe…
**[20:57] ---**
    Obito.
**[22:37] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki, huh?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Seems you've become friends
    with that Fox Demon's brat, Gaara…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    If you're not going to help,
    let's talk later.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    I'm going.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Sand Shinobi human,
    are you a friend of Naruto too?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "My First Friend."
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    We'll help you too!
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    MY FIRST FRIEND
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *My First Friend*
    
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    He would never give up
    on his dreams, or on reality.
**[01:41] ---**
    That's the kind of guy he is.
**[01:48] ---**
    And the way he forges ahead
    draws others towards him.
**[01:54] ---**
    He makes you want to reach out
    when he's about to stumble.
**[01:56] ---**
    And the greater
    the support behind you,
**[01:59] ---**
    the closer you can get
    to your goal.
**[02:08] ---**
    *Naruto's path…*
**[02:12] ---**
    Take this!
**[02:13] ---**
    Massive Rasen Shuriken!
**[02:19] ---**
    If comrades that you trust,
    gather around you…
**[02:21] ---**
    Hope can take physical form
    and become visible.
**[02:25] ---**
    That's what I believe, Obito.
**[02:29] ---**
    Perhaps…
**[02:32] ---**
    That Wood Dragon will absorb
    your chakra!
**[02:40] ---**
    Your chakra-stealing ninjutsu
    has now been nullified!
**[02:44] ---**
    In other words, you can't move
**[02:46] ---**
    nor will you be able to extract chakra
    with your next ninjutsu!
**[02:50] ---**
    *Good timing, son of the Fourth!*
**[02:53] ---**
    *Let's get him with this*
    *and seal him away!*
**[03:02] ---**
    Naruto aimed his attack over there,
    so that's where Madara is!
**[03:07] ---**
    Naruto, this way!
**[03:09] ---**
    Let's go!
**[03:10] ---**
    Thanks, Sai!
**[03:12] ---**
    Don't waste any time!
**[03:13] ---**
    Now's our chance to seal him!
**[03:15] ---**
    We won't let Naruto's attack
    go to waste!
**[03:18] ---**
    Right!
**[03:20] ---**
    Without any orders…
    without a single word…
**[03:23] ---**
    Everyone is galvanized into action…
**[03:27] ---**
    Naruto…
**[03:31] ---**
    And I'm one of them…
**[03:34] ---**
    Shukaku…
**[03:35] ---**
    I'd like to borrow the power of
    your Sand to seal Madara.
**[03:40] ---**
    You mean,
    the Grand Sand Mausoleum?
**[03:42] ---**
    That's right… A giant one too.
**[03:48] ---**
    I'm not bound to a Jinchuriki anymore.
**[03:52] ---**
    What makes you think I'd listen
    to you after all this time?
**[03:56] ---**
    I'm not ordering you.
    I'm asking you.
**[04:00] ---**
    If you refuse, fine.
**[04:02] ---**
    I'll just ask one of the others.
**[04:08] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki, huh?
**[04:10] ---**
    Seems you've become friends
    with that Fox Demon's brat, Gaara…
**[04:16] ---**
    If you're not going to help,
    let's talk later.
**[04:19] ---**
    I'm going.
**[04:22] ---**
    That tone you're using ticks me off!
**[04:26] ---**
    As they say, if a fox has
    seven tricks, a tanuki has eight!
**[04:29] ---**
    And I, the Demon Tanuki,
    will not lose to a stupid fox!
**[04:34] ---**
    I'm not doing this
    because you asked!
**[04:37] ---**
    I'm doing this because I want to!
**[04:41] ---**
    Lead the way.
**[04:44] ---**
    It's this way.
**[04:45] ---**
    Now then…
**[04:46] ---**
    Wait up.
**[04:48] ---**
    Huh?
**[04:51] ---**
    We'll help too.
**[04:56] ---**
    *That's why I want*
    *to help you too…*
**[05:00] ---**
    Don't worry.
    We're not doing this on a whim.
**[05:04] ---**
    We want to help Naruto.
**[05:10] ---**
    I'm grateful.
**[05:11] ---**
    Sand Shinobi human,
    are you a friend of Naruto too?
**[05:20] ---**
    It's a monster!
**[05:22] ---**
    Stay away!
**[05:24] ---**
    Use the buildings as a shield!
**[05:26] ---**
    But do not go inside!
**[05:28] ---**
    If they collapse,
    you'll be buried alive!
**[05:52] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[05:54] ---**
    Yeah…
**[06:00] ---**
    That's my kid brother?
**[06:03] ---**
    H-He's just a—!
**[06:25] ---**
    Hello!
**[06:30] ---**
    Hello!
**[06:36] ---**
    Hello…
**[06:53] ---**
    Run!
**[06:57] ---**
    W-Wait…!
**[06:59] ---**
    Help!
**[07:01] ---**
    Don't leave me by myself!
**[07:06] ---**
    I hate it… I hate it!
**[07:10] ---**
    *People hurt others and*
    *others hurt them…*
**[07:14] ---**
    *That's how they learn to survive.*
**[07:16] ---**
    *But it's not that easy for*
    *one person to hate another…*
**[07:33] ---**
    It's not bleeding, but…
**[07:36] ---**
    it really hurts right around here.
**[07:41] ---**
    That is a wound of the heart.
**[07:44] ---**
    It's a troublesome wound that
    only the love from another can cure.
**[07:48] ---**
    Love?
**[07:51] ---**
    Love is a feeling
**[07:52] ---**
    that desires to serve a precious person
    who is close to oneself,
**[07:56] ---**
    to love and watch over
    that person…
**[08:00] ---**
    Die!
**[08:02] ---**
    Don't get involved with him.
**[08:06] ---**
    Stupid!
**[08:08] ---**
    Don't look.
**[08:09] ---**
    Get lost!
**[08:12] ---**
    Your name is Gaara…
**[08:15] ---**
    A demon that loves only itself.
**[08:17] ---**
    One that loves only itself
    and fights only for itself.
**[08:24] ---**
    Because you were never loved.
**[08:50] ---**
    He's just a monster!
**[09:22] ---**
    D-Don't you feel anything?
**[09:25] ---**
    Kankuro…
**[09:27] ---**
    They were our friends!
**[09:33] ---**
    You killed…friends from our village…
**[09:36] ---**
    Don't you feel anything…
**[09:38] ---**
    right here?!
**[09:40] ---**
    Doesn't your heart hurt?!
**[09:43] ---**
    If you don't shut up, I'll kill you.
**[09:49] ---**
    *I was a killing machine*
    *from the time I was born…*
**[09:52] ---**
    *An uncontrollable monster…*
**[09:55] ---**
    *My mother died giving birth to me…*
**[09:58] ---**
    *The village ignored me…*
    *my siblings avoided me…*
**[10:02] ---**
    *I was made a target for*
    *assassination by my father…*
**[10:07] ---**
    *I was alone…*
**[10:09] ---**
    *And a solitary weapon*
    *didn't need a heart.*
**[10:14] ---**
    *Then I was sent as a weapon*
    *to destroy Hidden Leaf Village…*
**[10:19] ---**
    *where I met him.*
**[10:38] ---**
    Let's go.
**[10:41] ---**
    Hey, you there…
**[10:44] ---**
    What's your name?
**[10:48] ---**
    Gaara of the Sand.
**[10:51] ---**
    I'm curious about you too.
**[10:53] ---**
    What's your name?
**[10:56] ---**
    Sasuke Uchiha.
**[11:01] ---**
    Hey! Hey! And what about me?
**[11:05] ---**
    I'm not interested.
**[11:07] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki…*
**[11:09] ---**
    *My first encounter*
    *with him was uninteresting.*
**[11:15] ---**
    *However…*
**[11:17] ---**
    I'm definitely going to win!
**[11:20] ---**
    *But with every little incident,*
**[11:22] ---**
    *his words and actions*
    *towards his friends*
**[11:25] ---**
    *began to send ripples*
    *through my heart.*
**[11:33] ---**
    Why you!
**[11:34] ---**
    What were you trying to do
    to Bushy Brows!
**[11:37] ---**
    I was trying to kill him.
**[11:40] ---**
    If you get in my way,
    I'll kill you too.
**[11:43] ---**
    As if someone like you
    can kill me!
**[11:46] ---**
    I keep telling you to cut it out!
**[11:48] ---**
    This guy has monster-like strength.
**[11:51] ---**
    I have a real monster inside me.
**[11:54] ---**
    I wouldn't lose to a guy like him!
**[11:58] ---**
    *Furthermore, he started to*
    *have an effect on me…*
**[12:02] ---**
    *He wasn't like the others*
    *who merely aroused hatred in me.*
**[12:08] ---**
    Just what are they to you?
**[12:12] ---**
    He's my friend!
**[12:15] ---**
    If you even attempt to hurt him,
    I'll pummel you!
**[12:20] ---**
    A friend?!
**[12:21] ---**
    Don't make me laugh…
**[12:22] ---**
    I only fight…
**[12:30] ---**
    for myself!
**[12:32] ---**
    Because he resembles me…
**[12:34] ---**
    Because he has gone through life
**[12:36] ---**
    with the same loneliness
    and sadness as I have…
**[12:39] ---**
    That guy who continued to fight
    in solitude for himself,
**[12:43] ---**
    I thought he was strong.
**[12:50] ---**
    But that's not the meaning
    of true strength…
**[12:56] ---**
    If one fights just for oneself
    in solitude,
**[12:59] ---**
    one can't become truly strong…
**[13:06] ---**
    Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[13:09] ---**
    Na-Ru-To! 2K Uzumaki…
**[13:17] ---**
    Barrage!
**[13:21] ---**
    *There's no way…*
**[13:23] ---**
    *I can lose…*
    *to a guy like him!*
**[13:33] ---**
    *The more I drove him into a corner,*
    *the harder he fought back…*
**[13:39] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[13:47] ---**
    Transformation Jutsu!
**[13:52] ---**
    Get up, you jerk!
**[14:00] ---**
    *Time and time again…*
**[14:04] ---**
    *after hitting rock bottom…*
**[14:10] ---**
    Die!
**[14:11] ---**
    You bastard!
**[14:26] ---**
    *Why…?*
**[14:28] ---**
    *What kind of strength*
    *does he possess?*
**[14:32] ---**
    Why?
**[14:34] ---**
    Why do you go so far for others?
**[14:42] ---**
    Because they are my precious friends
    who saved me from that hell,
**[14:46] ---**
    of being alone, and who acknowledged
    my existence.
**[14:59] ---**
    Love…
**[15:01] ---**
    Is that why he is so strong?
**[15:05] ---**
    *This day would come to*
    *hold special meaning for me…
**[15:10] ---**
    *I learned that he grew up*
    *under the same circumstances as me,*
**[15:12] ---**
    *yet he chose*
    *a different way to live…*
**[15:16] ---**
    *And that my strength was*
    *directly connected to this.*
**[15:23] ---**
    I just have to work hard and
    carve out a future for myself.
**[15:28] ---**
    And I must not run away
    from my path of solitude.
**[15:31] ---**
    If I do that, someday…
**[15:33] ---**
    I can be like him.
**[15:37] ---**
    So as a shinobi
    who belongs to the Sand,
**[15:39] ---**
    I will aim to become the Kazekage.
**[15:42] ---**
    In order to connect with
    this village and live in it.
**[15:45] ---**
    Gaara…
**[15:48] ---**
    Watching Naruto Uzumaki
    makes me feel this way.
**[15:51] ---**
    A connection with others…
**[15:53] ---**
    Until now, that only meant hatred
    and a desire to kill.
**[15:59] ---**
    So just what is this connection
    that he keeps talking about?
**[16:04] ---**
    After all this time, I understand
    a little bit about something…
**[16:11] ---**
    Suffering and sadness…
    even happiness…
**[16:15] ---**
    can be shared with someone.
**[16:19] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki…
**[16:22] ---**
    He has known
    the same suffering I have…
**[16:25] ---**
    And he has taught me
**[16:26] ---**
    that it is possible to
    change one's path in life…
**[16:30] ---**
    I, too, want to become the kind of man
    that everyone looks up to…
**[16:35] ---**
    Instead of just being
    a weapon to be fearful of.
**[16:39] ---**
    As the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand.
**[16:43] ---**
    *I was able to take a step forward,*
    *away from my pessimistic life.*
**[16:50] ---**
    *And I became the Kazekage.*
**[16:53] ---**
    *I have gained more friends,*
**[16:55] ---**
    *and I continue to strive to be*
    *someone who is needed by others.*
**[16:58] ---**
    *And with my head held high,*
    *I stood as his equal,*
**[17:03] ---**
    *and step by step,*
**[17:05] ---**
    *I aimed for the day when*
    *I could be acknowledged as his friend.*
**[17:10] ---**
    *However…*
**[17:26] ---**
    *Whose…hand is this?*
**[17:31] ---**
    *Oh…it's my hand.*
**[17:38] ---**
    *Have I become someone*
    *who is needed by somebody?*
**[17:45] ---**
    *Huh?*
**[17:46] ---**
    *What is this?*
**[17:50] ---**
    *It's me?*
**[17:57] ---**
    *That's me…*
**[17:59] ---**
    *I really wanted to be needed…*
**[18:04] ---**
    *Why? Why did I desire that?*
**[18:09] ---**
    *Why am I someone*
    *who desires that?*
**[18:14] ---**
    *Those eyes…*
    *that nose, that mouth…*
**[18:21] ---**
    *Why?*
**[18:23] ---**
    *Why is that Gaara?*
**[18:28] ---**
    *I was inside that…*
**[18:30] ---**
    *No… Actually just what am I?*
**[18:36] ---**
    *That's what I feel I am…*
**[18:39] ---**
    *But actually…what am I?*
**[18:44] ---**
    *Just a small feeling?*
**[18:49] ---**
    Gaara… Gaara!
**[18:52] ---**
    *Who is that?*
**[18:53] ---**
    *Who are you calling?*
**[18:58] ---**
    *Who is it?*
**[19:00] ---**
    *Who's hand is this?*
**[19:03] ---**
    *Oh… It's just my hand again…*
**[19:09] ---**
    *My hand…*
**[19:13] ---**
    *Me?*
**[19:16] ---**
    *Who am I?*
**[19:19] ---**
    *I…*
**[19:25] ---**
    *I am…*
**[19:35] ---**
    *When the Akatsuki extracted*
    *the Tailed Beast from me…*
**[19:39] ---**
    *I died, but was revived…*
**[19:44] ---**
    *thanks to Granny Chiyo*
**[19:45] ---**
    *who used a Forbidden Jutsu*
    *to exchange her life for mine,*
**[19:48] ---**
    *and Naruto's chakra.*
**[19:52] ---**
    So long.
**[19:53] ---**
    Right!
**[20:01] ---**
    Normally, people shake hands
    when they part.
**[20:05] ---**
    But I'm not so good with
    stuff like that…
**[20:08] ---**
    So…
**[20:11] ---**
    *I thought I've been doing my best*
**[20:13] ---**
    *in order to be accepted*
    *by you as a friend.*
**[20:18] ---**
    *I thought I had to become someone*
    *who was essential to others…*
**[20:21] ---**
    *someone people looked up to…*
**[20:25] ---**
    *But…*
**[20:32] ---**
    *But on that day, we…*
**[20:34] ---**
    *came to understand,*
    *and accept each other…*
**[20:38] ---**
    *We were already friends.*
**[20:43] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[20:44] ---**
    I asked if you are Naruto's friend?
**[20:48] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:49] ---**
    He's my first friend.
**[20:53] ---**
    Is that right?
**[20:57] ---**
    All right, let's hurry.
**[22:38] ---**
    I'm curious about what happens
    next with Gaara…
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    But the next episode is
    a little extra feature.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    In the Hyuga Clan, Hinata and
    Hanabi were very close sisters!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    But the destiny of hatred
    within the Hyuga
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    caused their feelings
    to pass each other by.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Adored Elder Sister."
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Can't destiny be changed?
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    THE ADORED ELDER SISTER
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *The Adored Elder Sister*
    
    
    
**[01:42] ---**
    Elder Sister Hinata!
**[01:45] ---**
    I've been waiting for you!
**[01:47] ---**
    Let's play ninja!
**[01:51] ---**
    I'm sorry, Hanabi.
    I can't right now.
**[01:55] ---**
    Huh? Come on,
    just for a little while!
**[01:58] ---**
    That will not do, Lady Hanabi.
**[02:00] ---**
    Lady Hinata must train
    with Lord Hiashi.
**[02:04] ---**
    I will play with you.
**[02:07] ---**
    Please be on your way.
**[02:09] ---**
    I'll see you later, Hanabi.
**[02:12] ---**
    No, no! Elder Sister!
**[02:22] ---**
    It's so boring…
**[02:24] ---**
    It can't be helped.
**[02:26] ---**
    Her ladyship is the successor
    of the main family.
**[02:31] ---**
    But just a little can't hurt…
**[02:33] ---**
    We Hyuga are an illustrious clan
    within the Hidden Leaf,
**[02:37] ---**
    who possess Byakugan, the most touted
    of all the Kekkai Genkai.
**[02:41] ---**
    As the leader of the clan,
**[02:43] ---**
    there is a mountain of knowledge
    that Lady Hinata must learn.
**[02:47] ---**
    Here you go.
**[03:06] ---**
    Lady Hanabi!
**[03:08] ---**
    Lady Hanabi!
**[03:12] ---**
    Now where did she run off to?
**[03:23] ---**
    I found Elder Sister!
**[03:42] ---**
    I didn't get to play
    with Elder Sister today…
**[03:53] ---**
    Elder Sister Hinata!
**[03:55] ---**
    Sorry I'm late.
**[03:58] ---**
    No problem!
**[04:09] ---**
    Huh?
**[04:43] ---**
    Elder Sister came yesterday.
**[04:46] ---**
    She must have been exhausted
    from all that training.
**[04:49] ---**
    Did you thank her properly?
**[04:53] ---**
    Well… She fell asleep,
    so I'll tell her next time!
**[04:56] ---**
    Yes, please do that.
**[04:59] ---**
    What's the big idea?!
**[05:02] ---**
    What're you doing here,
    you're a curse on all of us!
**[05:06] ---**
    What? I was only…
**[05:09] ---**
    I was only looking at the masks!
**[05:11] ---**
    You want this?
**[05:13] ---**
    You filthy loser?
**[05:15] ---**
    You disgust me.
    Just take it!
**[05:22] ---**
    You can have it.
    Now get lost!
**[05:29] ---**
    Hey Natsu, who is that boy?
**[05:32] ---**
    Well…
**[05:35] ---**
    It's as the shopkeeper said.
**[05:39] ---**
    What?!
**[05:41] ---**
    Why do you all look at me
    with those eyes?
**[05:47] ---**
    You must never approach him.
**[06:00] ---**
    You're going to your studies?
**[06:02] ---**
    Yeah!
**[06:03] ---**
    I can write my name now.
**[06:05] ---**
    I even know some kanji!
**[06:07] ---**
    Actually lots!
**[06:09] ---**
    Really?
**[06:10] ---**
    Lady Hinata, you mustn't keep
    Lord Hiashi waiting.
**[06:13] ---**
    Right.
**[06:15] ---**
    I'll see you later, Hanabi.
**[06:16] ---**
    Okay!
**[06:23] ---**
    Training, huh…
**[06:37] ---**
    Please focus.
**[06:39] ---**
    You can't go out to play
    unless you finish.
**[06:48] ---**
    Done! Here!
**[06:56] ---**
    My, my…
**[07:14] ---**
    *So strong…yet so kind.*
**[07:16] ---**
    *I want to be like her…*
**[07:28] ---**
    *I want to be more like Elder Sister,*
    *even just a little bit.*
**[07:41] ---**
    Elder Brother Neji?
**[07:42] ---**
    Her sparring partner
    doesn't have to be me.
**[07:46] ---**
    Please let me do my own training.
**[07:48] ---**
    No, not yet. Continue.
**[07:51] ---**
    Please, let's continue, Neji.
**[07:58] ---**
    Understood.
**[08:08] ---**
    *That guy's different today…*
**[08:11] ---**
    What's wrong, Lady Hinata?
**[08:14] ---**
    This isn't child's play.
**[08:25] ---**
    *Hang in there, Elder Sister!*
**[08:30] ---**
    *That's so…*
**[08:32] ---**
    That was nothing…
**[08:35] ---**
    And you expect to fulfill
    your destiny…
**[08:40] ---**
    As the leader of the Hyuga Clan?
**[09:02] ---**
    What?
**[09:03] ---**
    Ahhh… My head… My head…!
**[09:21] ---**
    The fool…
**[09:24] ---**
    *What's…going on?*
**[09:25] ---**
    *What was that?*
**[09:43] ---**
    *What was that?*
**[09:53] ---**
    You were peeking into
    the training hall, weren't you?
**[09:58] ---**
    I see…
**[10:06] ---**
    That man was fine,
    then suddenly, he was in agony…
**[10:11] ---**
    And the pattern on his forehead…
**[10:14] ---**
    What you saw was
    the Curse Mark: Caged Bird…
**[10:17] ---**
    passed down within the Hyuga.
**[10:20] ---**
    The Curse Mark…Caged Bird?
**[10:23] ---**
    Yes. It reacts to the hidden seal
    placed within the main family…
**[10:27] ---**
    If it is placed on you,
**[10:29] ---**
    they can easily destroy
    your cranial nerves.
**[10:36] ---**
    So back then…
**[10:39] ---**
    When Neji threatened
    Hinata with harm,
**[10:42] ---**
    Hiashi used the power of
    the hidden seal to stop him.
**[10:46] ---**
    Why would he do such a thing?
**[10:54] ---**
    The main family of the Hyuga Clan
    has the solemn duty
**[10:56] ---**
    of protecting the Byakugan
    for eternity.
**[11:00] ---**
    For that, there are times
    when we must rule over
**[11:02] ---**
    the side branch families
    using absolute fear…
**[11:05] ---**
    in other words, "death,"
    to keep them in line.
**[11:09] ---**
    Absolute fear…
**[11:14] ---**
    Naturally, some in the side
    branch families oppose this.
**[11:19] ---**
    I speak of those
    who harbor resentment
**[11:21] ---**
    towards the main family.
**[11:24] ---**
    But regardless of how much
    we are hated,
**[11:25] ---**
    it is all for the sake
    of the Hyuga Clan…
**[11:27] ---**
    that we possess this skill.
**[11:31] ---**
    So that's who we are...
**[11:33] ---**
    Listen well, Hanabi.
**[11:36] ---**
    All of us are born into this world
    bearing our own destiny.
**[11:41] ---**
    In our lifetime,
    that destiny never changes.
**[11:59] ---**
    How unusual…
**[12:01] ---**
    You're not in a rush today?
**[12:03] ---**
    Yeah… Not today…
**[12:19] ---**
    *I wonder if that guy is way stronger*
    *than Elder Sister?*
**[12:42] ---**
    That's inadequate!
**[12:44] ---**
    Why did you hesitate right there?!
**[12:46] ---**
    Drive in, as hard as you can!
**[12:48] ---**
    Yes!
**[12:57] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[13:09] ---**
    Is Hinata up to this?
**[13:15] ---**
    By her very nature,
**[13:17] ---**
    Hinata is not very good
    at confrontation.
**[13:19] ---**
    Perhaps she is too kind.
**[13:22] ---**
    If that's the case,
    she can't protect the Hyuga!
**[13:49] ---**
    TRAINING GROUND 3
**[13:58] ---**
    *What is she doing*
    *in a place like this...?*
**[14:09] ---**
    Clone Jutsu!
**[14:20] ---**
    Clone Jutsu!
**[14:22] ---**
    *Wasn't he the one…?*
**[14:27] ---**
    *Why is Elder Sister watching him?*
**[14:31] ---**
    *Elder Sister?*
**[15:17] ---**
    I'm entering.
**[15:47] ---**
    They're supposed to
    be five years apart in age.
**[15:51] ---**
    Lady Hanabi is quite amazing…
**[16:02] ---**
    How was training today?
**[16:06] ---**
    The same as usual…
**[16:08] ---**
    You seem depressed.
**[16:10] ---**
    You used to have
    so much fun in the past…
**[16:14] ---**
    Yeah…
**[16:20] ---**
    I observed for a while…
**[16:22] ---**
    It's going to be difficult to let Hinata
    succeed the main family.
**[16:26] ---**
    A decision must be made.
**[16:31] ---**
    I understand.
**[16:33] ---**
    However, I'd like to make
    one request.
**[16:39] ---**
    You two will participate
    in a mock battle today.
**[16:42] ---**
    Huh?
**[16:44] ---**
    I want to see all the skill and power
    you've gained until now.
**[16:46] ---**
    Do not go easy on each other.
**[16:50] ---**
    Fight with the intent
    to defeat each other!
**[16:53] ---**
    *Fight with the intent to defeat?*
**[16:55] ---**
    *What is Lord Hiashi thinking?*
**[17:00] ---**
    Hinata…
**[17:01] ---**
    You are the successor
    of the Hyuga Clan.
**[17:04] ---**
    Show me that
    you are worthy of that.
**[17:08] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:12] ---**
    *But I'm just supposed to fight…*
**[17:20] ---**
    Begin!
**[17:30] ---**
    *Elder Sister Hinata!*
**[17:37] ---**
    They're both amazing!
**[17:45] ---**
    *There's no end to this!*
**[17:47] ---**
    *Right there!*
**[17:51] ---**
    *Oh no!*
**[18:07] ---**
    Stop!
**[18:33] ---**
    Father…
**[18:34] ---**
    To fall to Hanabi who is five years
    younger than you…
**[18:37] ---**
    Enough. You may go!
**[18:54] ---**
    Hinata will probably serve
    the village as a genin.
**[18:59] ---**
    I see.
**[19:02] ---**
    As sad as it seems,
**[19:04] ---**
    we cannot allow a failure like
    that to be our successor.
**[19:08] ---**
    This is her destiny.
**[19:12] ---**
    That you were born
    possessing strength
**[19:15] ---**
    surpassing that of your elder sister
    is also destiny.
**[19:18] ---**
    Hanabi, you must hone
    your skills to the utmost
**[19:21] ---**
    for the sake of the Hyuga.
**[19:27] ---**
    Yes.
**[19:33] ---**
    CLEAR MIND
**[19:49] ---**
    Stand, Hanabi.
**[19:56] ---**
    Hinata will be under
    my command from now.
**[19:59] ---**
    But are you sure about this?
**[20:04] ---**
    Hinata is the successor
    of the Hyuga Clan.
**[20:08] ---**
    Genin missions carry
    a high risk of death.
**[20:13] ---**
    Do what you will with her.
**[20:17] ---**
    She couldn't beat Hanabi
    who is five years younger…
**[20:21] ---**
    The Hyuga have no need
    for such a person.
**[20:26] ---**
    *Father has turned his back*
    *on Elder Sister.*
**[20:31] ---**
    Is that all you wanted to discuss?
    If so, you may go.
**[20:35] ---**
    We are busy here.
**[20:37] ---**
    All right.
**[20:43] ---**
    Continue, Hanabi.
**[20:46] ---**
    Yes.
**[20:51] ---**
    *If Elder Sister can't do it,*
    *I have no choice but to do it.*
**[20:54] ---**
    *I will protect the Hyuga.*
**[20:57] ---**
    *This is my destiny!*
**[22:38] ---**
    It seems Lady Hinata is doing
    very well as a genin.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I hear she will be taking
    the Chunin Exams.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    The Chunin Exams?!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    It's a test one must pass
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    in order to be promoted from
    genin to chunin rank.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    But I understand it's quite rigorous,
    and there are even fatalities.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hanabi's Decision"
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    There's no point in participating
    in something like that.
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    HANABI'S DECISION
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Hanabi's Decision*
    
    
    
**[01:42] ---**
    *I was born with strength that*
    *surpasses Elder Sister's.*
**[01:49] ---**
    *This is my destiny!*
**[01:52] ---**
    *That's why…*
**[01:53] ---**
    *I must get stronger…!*
**[02:01] ---**
    *More, more, more…more!*
**[02:13] ---**
    Look at all your injuries…
**[02:16] ---**
    Couldn't you be overdoing it a bit?
**[02:19] ---**
    No such thing.
**[02:21] ---**
    I must protect the Hyuga Clan.
**[02:28] ---**
    Oh, that's right!
**[02:29] ---**
    It seems Lady Hinata is doing
    very well as a genin.
**[02:33] ---**
    I hear she will be taking
    the Chunin Exams.
**[02:37] ---**
    The Chunin Exams?
**[02:38] ---**
    Yes. It's a test one must pass

**[02:49] ---**
    There's no point in participating
    in something like that.
**[02:55] ---**
    Lady Hanabi…
**[03:08] ---**
    Lady Hanabi! Terrible news!
**[03:14] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
**[03:20] ---**
    I heard Elder Sister Hinata
    was seriously injured!
**[03:23] ---**
    She's been treated and
    is conscious now.
**[03:26] ---**
    There's no need to worry.
**[03:33] ---**
    She should have expected
    this outcome if she faced Neji.
**[03:38] ---**
    Why didn't you withdraw?
**[03:41] ---**
    I couldn't…do that.
**[03:46] ---**
    I know very well what I am.
**[03:50] ---**
    I'm an indecisive failure…
**[03:53] ---**
    But I don't want to give up,
    I want to become strong…
**[03:58] ---**
    I feel like I can possibly change.
**[04:00] ---**
    Watching Naruto makes me
    feel this way.
**[04:03] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[04:04] ---**
    *What're you doing here?*
    *You're a curse on all of us!*
**[04:08] ---**
    *What? I was only…*
**[04:10] ---**
    *I was only looking at the masks!*
**[04:18] ---**
    *Clone Jutsu!*
**[04:24] ---**
    I never go back on my word.
**[04:27] ---**
    Because that's my Ninja Way.
**[04:40] ---**
    No one has inherited the blood of
    the Hyuga more intensely than he…
**[04:45] ---**
    Watch carefully, Hanabi.
**[04:48] ---**
    Yes, Father.
**[04:54] ---**
    *What is it about this Naruto*
    *that Elder Sister so believes in?*
**[05:01] ---**
    *But look at how he's attacking*
    *Elder Brother Neji.*
**[05:06] ---**
    *Elder Brother Neji is*
    *the genius of the Hyuga…*
**[05:09] ---**
    *There's no way a failure*
    *can beat him.*
**[05:12] ---**
    I'll win, no matter what!
**[05:19] ---**
    Gentle Fist Technique:
    Eight Trigrams 64 Palms…
**[05:24] ---**
    Eight Trigrams…
**[05:26] ---**
    Two Palms!
**[05:29] ---**
    Four Palms!
**[05:31] ---**
    – *People are born burdening*
    – Eight Palms!
**[05:34] ---**
    *an inherent destiny*
**[05:35] ---**
    – *that they cannot go against.*
    – 16 Palms!
**[05:38] ---**
    – *You can't possibly understand*
    – 32 Palms!
**[05:41] ---**
    *the destiny of burdening*
**[05:44] ---**
    *a mark that cannot be*
    *wiped off for life!*
**[05:46] ---**
    64 Palms…
**[05:52] ---**
    He's been overwhelmed.
**[05:54] ---**
    All his chakra points have
    been shut down
**[05:56] ---**
    and he can't even infuse chakra.
**[05:59] ---**
    *I knew it…*
**[06:01] ---**
    You are destined to lose to me…
    no matter what.
**[06:06] ---**
    I won't know that until I try!
**[06:16] ---**
    You loser!
**[06:22] ---**
    I won't run…
**[06:25] ---**
    I'll stand by my own words.
**[06:29] ---**
    I won't lose to someone
    who blabbers on about fate,
**[06:32] ---**
    someone who keeps
    running away!
**[06:49] ---**
    I don't know what
    the Hyuga destiny of hatred is!
**[06:52] ---**
    But if you're going to say it's futile,
    you don't have to do anything!
**[06:56] ---**
    After I become the Hokage…
**[06:58] ---**
    I'll change the Hyuga!
**[07:19] ---**
    The winner is Naruto Uzumaki.
**[07:22] ---**
    That kid won against a Hyuga!
**[07:25] ---**
    Seriously?
**[07:35] ---**
    *You are destined to lose to me…*
    *no matter what.*
**[07:39] ---**
    *I won't know that until I try!*
**[07:45] ---**
    *No… That was definitely just a fluke!*
**[07:59] ---**
    *But I thought Elder Brother Neji*
    *hated the main family?*
**[08:05] ---**
    Honestly, I didn't think you'd come
    and help me train.
**[08:10] ---**
    You're probably right.
**[08:12] ---**
    But he taught me something.
**[08:15] ---**
    That destiny can be changed.
**[08:17] ---**
    Elder Brother Neji!
**[08:19] ---**
    Okay, let's continue.
**[08:21] ---**
    Right!
**[08:30] ---**
    *But he taught me something.*
**[08:33] ---**
    *That destiny can be changed.*
**[08:37] ---**
    Destiny can be changed?
**[08:40] ---**
    *So that's, all of us…*
**[08:43] ---**
    *Bear this in mind, Hanabi.*
**[08:45] ---**
    *All of us are born into this world*
    *bearing our own destiny.*
**[08:51] ---**
    *In our lifetime,*
    *that destiny never changes.*
**[09:02] ---**
    *I am who I am.*
**[09:04] ---**
    *I only have to keep*
    *aiming for the top…*
**[09:16] ---**
    Once more, please.
**[09:19] ---**
    This rotation is a ninjutsu
    that is only passed down orally,
**[09:22] ---**
    and is known only to the Hyuga.
**[09:24] ---**
    It's not something that
    you can master easily.
**[09:28] ---**
    No, I will have it down shortly.
**[09:35] ---**
    *I can't afford to get stuck now…*
**[09:37] ---**
    *I have to get much, much stronger.*
**[09:44] ---**
    *I couldn't master it, after all.*
**[09:51] ---**
    I'm telling you it's true!
**[09:52] ---**
    Naruto was amazing!
**[09:54] ---**
    He pummeled Kakuzu,
    the guy with all those hearts…
**[09:57] ---**
    with a super go-get 'em new jutsu!
**[10:00] ---**
    "Go-get 'em"?
    Isn't there a better description?
**[10:06] ---**
    Well, It was huge and
    just whizzed by…
**[10:08] ---**
    He called it the Wind Style
    Rasen Shuriken!
**[10:11] ---**
    He wove together Wind Change
    in Nature with Change in Form?
**[10:16] ---**
    Yeah, I think that's it!
**[10:20] ---**
    Awesome! Naruto keeps getting better.
**[10:23] ---**
    I'll have to do my best too.
**[10:25] ---**
    That could be a hint
    for a new jutsu…
**[10:30] ---**
    Are you talking about the time,
    just recently,
**[10:32] ---**
    when Naruto crushed the Akatsuki?
**[10:34] ---**
    He wasn't impressive
    at all three years ago,
**[10:36] ---**
    but he's gotten stronger and stronger.
**[10:38] ---**
    Yeah, now everyone in his generation
    aspires to be like him
**[10:42] ---**
    and have progressed steadily.
**[10:59] ---**
    Rotation!
**[11:06] ---**
    *Not again!*
    *Why can't I get it right?!*
**[11:13] ---**
    Let's call it a day.
**[11:15] ---**
    Please allow me to continue.
**[11:17] ---**
    Next time, I'll get it for sure!
**[11:19] ---**
    You cannot master this
    by rushing through it.
**[11:23] ---**
    Sometimes, it's best to give it
    time to let it sink in.
**[11:32] ---**
    It's unusual to see Hanabi
    have such a difficult time.
**[11:38] ---**
    Yes…
**[11:39] ---**
    Technically, she should
    have no trouble…
**[11:44] ---**
    Perhaps something else
    is the problem.
**[11:59] ---**
    *I have to keep going!*
**[12:01] ---**
    *I have no choice*
    *but to keep going!*
**[12:08] ---**
    Why?
**[12:40] ---**
    Your form is looking quite good.
**[12:43] ---**
    Yes, well… I can't fall behind Naruto!
**[13:00] ---**
    *Why am I…?*
**[13:05] ---**
    *It shouldn't be the same*
    *as that time…*
**[13:19] ---**
    *Why hasn't she given up?*
**[13:22] ---**
    *She was called a failure and*
    *Father turned his back on her…*
**[13:26] ---**
    *And yet, she looks so happy.*
**[13:30] ---**
    Nice!
**[13:32] ---**
    Can you stay like that and
    transition to Change in Form?
**[13:35] ---**
    Yes!
**[13:39] ---**
    *Don't tell me she's on the verge*
    *of mastering a new jutsu?!*
**[13:52] ---**
    *So strong…yet so kind.*
**[13:54] ---**
    *I want to be like her…*
**[14:01] ---**
    *Elder Sister?*
**[14:13] ---**
    Lady Hanabi, how was
    your first diplomatic outing?
**[14:18] ---**
    Going outside the village walls
    made me nervous, after all.
**[14:21] ---**
    But you did very well.
**[14:23] ---**
    The Taketori Clan has long been
    a close ally of the Hyuga.
**[14:28] ---**
    It is important to maintain our ties
    in your generation too, Lady Hanabi.
**[14:32] ---**
    Yes.
**[14:34] ---**
    A moment please…
**[14:35] ---**
    Lord Hiashi Hyuga and
    his party, I presume?
**[14:38] ---**
    What is it?
**[14:40] ---**
    I am a border guard.
**[14:42] ---**
    We just received word
    of an emergency.
**[14:44] ---**
    The Akatsuki are attacking
    the Leaf Village.
**[14:48] ---**
    What?!
**[14:49] ---**
    Make haste! We must return
    to the village at once!
**[15:05] ---**
    *This is terrible.*
**[15:12] ---**
    *Hidden Leaf Village has been*
    *destroyed beyond recognition!*
**[15:16] ---**
    *What happened to everyone?*
**[15:18] ---**
    Lord Hiashi, thank goodness
    you're all right!
**[15:21] ---**
    This destruction…
**[15:23] ---**
    How many fatalities were there?
**[15:25] ---**
    By some miracle, no one died.
**[15:30] ---**
    That can't be! Not this with
    scale of destruction…
**[15:32] ---**
    It's true.
**[15:34] ---**
    Naruto protected everyone.
**[15:37] ---**
    But only because of Lady Hinata.
**[15:40] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[15:42] ---**
    The village was attacked by
    Pain of the Akatsuki
**[15:45] ---**
    and was on the verge of collapse.
**[15:48] ---**
    And at that point, the only one
    who was able deal with Pain…
**[15:50] ---**
    was Naruto Uzumaki.
**[15:53] ---**
    – But even Naruto…
    –*…the world*
**[15:55] ---**
    – was pushed to the limits.
    –*…bastard!*
**[15:57] ---**
    *I guess I'll be taking you now…*
**[16:06] ---**
    And the one who rushed into action…
**[16:08] ---**
    was Lady Hinata.
**[16:19] ---**
    *How cruel…*
**[16:21] ---**
    *Restricting Naruto's movement*
    *with those poles.*
**[16:25] ---**
    *I won't let you hurt*
    *Naruto anymore!*
**[16:27] ---**
    *I know…*
**[16:29] ---**
    *I'm just being selfish.*
**[16:31] ---**
    *What are you talking about?!*
**[16:34] ---**
    *Don't put yourself*
    *in danger like this!*
**[16:38] ---**
    *I'm here because I want to be.*
**[16:42] ---**
    *This time…*
**[16:43] ---**
    *I'm going to save you, Naruto.*
**[16:49] ---**
    *I was always crying,*
    *and giving up before even trying.*
**[16:52] ---**
    *I made the wrong turns*
    *so many times…*
**[16:56] ---**
    *But you helped me find my way*
    *and take the correct path, Naruto.*
**[17:01] ---**
    *I always chased after you.*
**[17:04] ---**
    *I wanted to catch up to you.*
**[17:08] ---**
    *I wanted to walk beside you*
    *all the time.*
**[17:11] ---**
    *I want to be at your side, always.*
**[17:14] ---**
    *You changed me, Naruto!*
**[17:18] ---**
    *Your smile is what saved me!*
**[17:22] ---**
    *That's why I'm not afraid to die…*
**[17:26] ---**
    *If it means I can protect you!*
**[17:33] ---**
    *It's because…*
**[17:35] ---**
    *I love you, Naruto!*
**[17:45] ---**
    Lady Hinata protected Naruto
    and fought until the end…
**[17:56] ---**
    *Gentle Step… Twin Lion Fists!*
**[17:59] ---**
    As a result, she overturned
    the unfavorable situation that we were in.
**[18:06] ---**
    Hinata did that, eh?
**[18:17] ---**
    *So Elder Sister used that jutsu.*
**[18:24] ---**
    It was such a surprise…
**[18:26] ---**
    I couldn't believe that Hinata
    was capable of so much…
**[18:38] ---**
    *I bet Elder Sister was never*
    *a failure, after all…*
**[18:43] ---**
    *Elder Sister Hinata!*
**[18:58] ---**
    *But I don't want to give up,*
    *I want to become strong…*
**[19:01] ---**
    *I feel like I can possibly change.*
**[19:04] ---**
    *Watching Naruto makes me*
    *feel this way…*
**[19:07] ---**
    *I never go back on my word.*
**[19:10] ---**
    *Because that's my Ninja Way.*
**[19:15] ---**
    *Yes… I can't lose to Naruto…!*
**[19:18] ---**
    *She simply chose the path*
    *she should take of her own free will.*
**[19:23] ---**
    *And she got to be this strong…*
**[19:26] ---**
    *She changed her destiny…*
**[19:30] ---**
    *Elder Sister always remained herself.*
**[19:33] ---**
    *Kind and strong…*
**[19:36] ---**
    *The person I love very much.*
**[19:41] ---**
    Father, I have a request.
**[19:45] ---**
    I know you will be busy
    with rebuilding the village.
**[19:49] ---**
    But when things settle down,
**[19:50] ---**
    will you train with me once more?
**[19:54] ---**
    I have a feeling
    you'll master it next time.
**[19:57] ---**
    Yes.
**[19:59] ---**
    *I want to be like*
    *Elder Sister Hinata someday.*
**[20:03] ---**
    *And choose my path on my own,*
    *without being told by anyone.*
**[20:15] ---**
    Now hear this!
**[20:15] ---**
    We are now on the brink
    of the Fourth Great Ninja War!
**[20:19] ---**
    We will capitalize on
    our Sensory skills
**[20:21] ---**
    and divide up to support
    every battalion!
**[20:24] ---**
    We must guide them
    to victory in this war!
**[20:27] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[20:29] ---**
    Hanabi, take care of things.
**[20:31] ---**
    You can count on me.
**[20:33] ---**
    I've made up my own mind
    to protect the Hyuga.
**[20:36] ---**
    More than that, please careful,
    Elder Sister Hinata.
**[20:40] ---**
    I will. I'm going to throw everything
    I've learned at them.
**[20:44] ---**
    I will protect Naruto!
**[20:49] ---**
    Do your best, Elder Sister Hinata!
**[20:51] ---**
    Yes!
**[22:36] ---**
    It's now my turn to attack!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Stop acting tough!
    The war's over!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I'm grateful to you, Naruto…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    You even extracted
    the Tailed Beasts from Obito,
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    saving me the trouble
    of weakening him.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Finally, I can fight for real!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Madara Uchiha Rises"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    It's not a battle without raging blood
    and a pounding heart!
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    MADARA UCHIHA RISES
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:04] ---**
    Are you saying...
**[00:10] ---**
    that I...
**[00:12] ---**
    have regrets?
**[00:17] ---**
    You told me, "I'm no one...
    I don't want to be anyone..."
**[00:23] ---**
    But the truth is...
**[00:26] ---**
    You wanted to become
    the Hokage, just like me.
**[00:29] ---**
    You can't hide behind a mask.
**[00:33] ---**
    You were Kakashi Sensei's friend...
**[00:36] ---**
    my dad's subordinate...
    an Uchiha like Sasuke...
**[00:41] ---**
    and a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf
**[00:44] ---**
    who had the same dream as me!
**[00:47] ---**
    You used to have
    the same dream as me.
**[00:50] ---**
    But now you've become
    the exact opposite of a Hokage!
**[00:53] ---**
    It's because you're just
    like me that...
**[00:55] ---**
    No, it's because of that...
**[00:59] ---**
    That's why I wanted to see you
    despairing about this world.
**[01:04] ---**
    Or...I suppose I wanted
    to feel again for myself,
**[01:08] ---**
    that the path that I have chosen
    for myself is not a mistake.
**[01:15] ---**
    There's no need to voluntarily tread
    a steep and rugged path,
**[01:19] ---**
    not knowing what's ahead.
**[01:21] ---**
    You'll have to step over
    the corpses of your comrades.
**[01:25] ---**
    Anyone would choose a shortcut
    with a fixed outcome.
**[01:31] ---**
    Yes... The goal a Hokage should
    seek is world peace.
**[01:38] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[01:43] ---**
    What I want to know about
    isn't a shortcut...
**[01:48] ---**
    but how to navigate
    the steep and rugged path!
**[01:52] ---**
    Who can tell in the beginning
    which one is the dangerous one?
**[01:57] ---**
    You never know
    unless you start walking.
**[02:03] ---**
    The Hokage is someone
    who endures the pain
**[02:06] ---**
    and takes the lead
    in front of everyone.
**[02:09] ---**
    So a Hokage never walks over
    his comrades' corpses.
**[02:14] ---**
    There are no shortcuts for
    the one who becomes the Hokage...
**[02:17] ---**
    There's no running away
    for the one who becomes the Hokage!
**[02:21] ---**
    Isn't that right?
**[02:25] ---**
    *I messed up...*
**[02:27] ---**
    *I got some dust in my eyes and...*
**[02:28] ---**
    *Oww!*
**[02:36] ---**
    I bet this Rin person would
    say this if she were still alive...
**[02:42] ---**
    "Don't act tough and
    hide your wounds."
**[02:45] ---**
    "I'm always watching."
**[02:49] ---**
    *You told me saving you*
**[02:51] ---**
    *was the same as*
    *saving the world, remember?
**[02:54] ---**
    *Since I'm keeping an eye on you,*
**[02:57] ---**
    *you can't hide anything*
    *from me anymore.*
**[03:00] ---**
    *Okay! Okay!*
**[03:04] ---**
    *Go for it, Obito!*
**[03:06] ---**
    *Become Hokage and show me*
    *how you'll save the world.*
**[03:10] ---**
    *That's another promise!*
**[03:23] ---**
    Rin...
**[03:26] ---**
    Rin was my only light and hope.
**[03:32] ---**
    After I lost Rin...
**[03:34] ---**
    the world as I saw it, changed.
**[03:38] ---**
    It became a pitch-black hell.
**[03:45] ---**
    There's no hope in this world.
**[03:48] ---**
    I took Madara's identity
    and walked the world.
**[03:52] ---**
    But all it did was confirm my belief.
**[03:57] ---**
    Even with my Sharingan,
    I couldn't see anything...
**[04:02] ---**
    There was nothing to see.
**[04:06] ---**
    I'm sure you could've seen it too,
    if you'd tried.
**[04:10] ---**
    After all, you and I have
    the same eyes.
**[04:15] ---**
    If comrades that you trust,
    gather around you...
**[04:18] ---**
    hope can take physical form
    and become visible.
**[04:23] ---**
    That's what I believe...
**[04:28] ---**
    Obito.
**[04:40] ---**
    Naruto's path, huh...
**[06:16] ---**
    *Madara Uchiha Arises*
    
    
**[06:17] ---**
    Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates!
    
    *Madara Uchiha Arises*
    
    
**[06:25] ---**
    *Naruto's jutsu didn't bring him down,*
**[06:28] ---**
    *but with this,*
    *he won't be able to move at all!*
**[06:33] ---**
    *All that's left is to wait for*
    *the Sealing Shinobi.*
**[06:55] ---**
    Having the Tailed Beasts
    extracted from him
**[06:58] ---**
    means that Obito's...
**[07:00] ---**
    The Ten Tails' Jinchuriki aren't
    like all the others.
**[07:06] ---**
    They won't die if
    the Tailed Beast is extracted.
**[07:09] ---**
    It's because the Ten Tails' husk,
    the Gedo Statue remains.
**[07:16] ---**
    It contains a lot of life force.
**[07:20] ---**
    Is that true?
**[07:21] ---**
    How do you know?
**[07:23] ---**
    Hey, now.
**[07:24] ---**
    Who do you think scattered us
    all across the world
**[07:27] ---**
    after splitting Ten Tails' Chakra
    into nine pieces?
**[07:33] ---**
    The Sage of Six Paths...
**[07:35] ---**
    But with nine bodies extracted out
    of him all at once,
**[07:39] ---**
    he'll be so weak it will
    be like he's dead.
**[07:42] ---**
    He won't be able to move
    for a few months.
**[07:45] ---**
    Just as it was for
    the old man back then.
**[07:49] ---**
    So that's how it goes.
**[07:52] ---**
    Kakashi...
**[07:55] ---**
    the Tailed Beast inside me
    just explained to me...
**[08:02] ---**
    *That's right...*
**[08:04] ---**
    *Rin won't even turn*
    *to look at the current you.*
**[08:09] ---**
    *The one Rin wanted to watch over*
    *is Obito Uchiha.*
**[08:16] ---**
    So you don't have to worry.
**[08:21] ---**
    Then...his life is...
**[08:29] ---**
    I was hoping he would atone
    for all his past deeds, but...
**[08:36] ---**
    It can't be helped if you can't move.
**[08:39] ---**
    Just stay put.
**[08:43] ---**
    Sensei, please keep an eye
    on Obito.
**[08:47] ---**
    All right.
**[08:55] ---**
    What are you trying to do?
**[09:02] ---**
    The same thing the man
    I once tried to use...
**[09:07] ---**
    did to betray me.
**[09:17] ---**
    No way...
**[09:19] ---**
    I never imagined I'd end up
    doing the same thing...
**[09:28] ---**
    It's the Gedo...
**[09:30] ---**
    Art of Rinne Rebirth.
**[09:35] ---**
    But that jutsu will result in your...!
**[09:57] ---**
    *It seems to be a jutsu*
    *that trades life for life.*
**[10:03] ---**
    I feel like I finally understand
    why Nagato…
**[10:09] ---**
    betrayed me back then.
**[10:14] ---**
    A string of hearts linked together
    like prayer beads...
**[10:21] ---**
    That can be a strong power
    as well, huh...
**[10:26] ---**
    Nagato and Naruto were
    both Jiraiya's students.
**[10:30] ---**
    So you could say
    Jiraiya defeated me.
**[10:37] ---**
    Sensei...
**[10:40] ---**
    He was also your master,
**[10:42] ---**
    the one who groomed you
    to become the Hokage...
**[10:48] ---**
    And I...was your student.
**[10:56] ---**
    A shinobi who gave up
    on becoming Hokage...
**[10:59] ---**
    and cut all his ties.
**[11:09] ---**
    I won't have much to say
    to Rin on the other side.
**[11:20] ---**
    Are you sure about this?
**[11:23] ---**
    You could live and atone
    for your sins...
**[11:28] ---**
    No... That's the easy way out.
**[11:41] ---**
    I'll help you out this time!
**[11:48] ---**
    Time to switch places!
**[11:51] ---**
    It's now my turn to attack!
**[11:55] ---**
    Stop acting tough!
**[11:57] ---**
    This war is over!
**[12:04] ---**
    – Sai!
    – I know!
**[12:07] ---**
    Sealing Jutsu!
**[12:09] ---**
    Crouched Tiger Bullet!
**[12:12] ---**
    Naruto...
**[12:15] ---**
    I'm grateful to you.
**[12:19] ---**
    You even extracted
    the Tailed Beasts from Obito...
**[12:25] ---**
    Saving me the trouble
    of weakening him.
**[12:29] ---**
    Sorry, Obito...
**[12:33] ---**
    This is the reason
    why I was stuck onto you.
**[12:37] ---**
    Black Zetsu!
    W-What the—?!
**[12:41] ---**
    Okay! Just a little bit longer!
**[12:44] ---**
    – Art of Rinne Rebirth!
    – Art of Rinne Rebirth!
**[12:50] ---**
    Finally, I can fight for real!
**[13:23] ---**
    This is the form,
    the body I needed!
**[13:30] ---**
    It's not a battle without raging blood...
    and a pounding heart!
**[13:53] ---**
    Ancient relics...
**[13:56] ---**
    should just butt out!
**[14:01] ---**
    A brat who doesn't even
    come close to my level.
**[14:07] ---**
    You stole my line.
**[14:11] ---**
    *Why did he close his eyes?*
**[14:14] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[14:16] ---**
    It's pointless to just
    throw attacks at him.
**[14:20] ---**
    This guy can absorb ninjutsu!
**[14:29] ---**
    It is these two polar opposites
    operating together
**[14:32] ---**
    that give rise to all things
    in this universe...
**[14:36] ---**
    Hashirama, do you remember me
    telling you this long ago
**[14:40] ---**
    in front of the Uchiha Stone Tablet?
**[14:45] ---**
    That the inscription
    on the stone says,
**[14:48] ---**
    when two opposite sides cooperate,
    you have true happiness.
**[14:54] ---**
    But I also told you it could
    be interpreted differently.
**[15:02] ---**
    That's...
**[15:04] ---**
    The one who obtains
    both Uchiha and Senju powers
**[15:08] ---**
    can attain true happiness.
**[15:13] ---**
    Don't you think it could be read
    that way as well?
**[15:17] ---**
    Hashirama?
**[15:20] ---**
    It seems you've been doing
    a lot of plotting
**[15:23] ---**
    since you left the village.
**[15:26] ---**
    No... Actually, this is something
**[15:28] ---**
    my subordinate's comrade came up
    with by coincidence.
**[15:32] ---**
    Seems there was a fellow
    who thought a lot like me.
**[15:40] ---**
    However...
**[15:41] ---**
    Me coming back to life
    was exactly as planned!
**[15:51] ---**
    *Damn it... I can't move!*
**[16:06] ---**
    Though things did happen
    out of order.
**[16:09] ---**
    Oh well.
**[16:16] ---**
    So this is Sage Art Chakra...
**[16:20] ---**
    Is that all there is to it?
**[16:24] ---**
    Seems like this will
    be easy to control.
**[16:40] ---**
    This is the perfect chance now
    that you're flesh and blood.
**[16:44] ---**
    This time I'll kill you for good,
**[16:47] ---**
    and send you back
    to the afterlife!
**[16:52] ---**
    Regret that you're still not
    a reanimation…
**[16:58] ---**
    as you go to your death!
**[17:06] ---**
    I can feel it...
**[17:08] ---**
    Your Mangekyo are Choku Tomoe,
    a straight pattern.
**[17:13] ---**
    No wonder you have fine moves.
**[17:16] ---**
    It might be a good idea
    to take your eyes
**[17:20] ---**
    until I get my Rinnegan back.
**[17:28] ---**
    Obito... Your usefulness is over.
**[17:37] ---**
    What did you do?
**[17:40] ---**
    Madara…
**[17:43] ---**
    has come back to life!
**[17:48] ---**
    You performed the Rinne Rebirth,
    so you will die.
**[17:52] ---**
    This is the last step.
**[17:55] ---**
    I'm taking back that left eye.
**[18:02] ---**
    He'll last a little while longer
    while I'm attached to him.
**[18:10] ---**
    Just what are you?
**[18:11] ---**
    You're not human.
**[18:14] ---**
    I am Madara's will incarnate.
**[18:18] ---**
    I will eliminate anyone
    who gets in Madara's way.
**[18:22] ---**
    Black Zetsu.
**[18:24] ---**
    I thought you'd been captured...
**[18:27] ---**
    All of you, including Obito, greatly
    underestimated Madara's plan.
**[18:35] ---**
    You underestimated me as well.
**[18:42] ---**
    *I-I can't move now...*
**[18:46] ---**
    *I can't believe he's able*
    *to transform his blade so much*
**[18:49] ---**
    *in such an instant!*
**[18:52] ---**
    *Then that's perfect.*
**[18:54] ---**
    *You'll go to Obito and*
**[18:56] ---**
    *bide your time until*
    *I give you the order.*
**[19:00] ---**
    *I'm going to play a little here,*
    *then head over.*
**[19:03] ---**
    *I just want to gauge*
    *the present Kage's strength.*
**[19:08] ---**
    *I got it.*
**[19:29] ---**
    He's a useless traitor
    who went against Madara's plan.
**[19:35] ---**
    Until Obito dies,
    I'll use his body to fight you.
**[19:42] ---**
    I've got to get some use
    out of him,
**[19:44] ---**
    at least at the end.
**[19:47] ---**
    But killing you would be such
    a waste with an eye like that.
**[19:52] ---**
    How about it?
**[19:54] ---**
    You're a survivor of
    the Uchiha like me.
**[19:57] ---**
    Want to join forces?
**[20:00] ---**
    Make no mistake.
    You're a dead man.
**[20:06] ---**
    Fine then...
**[20:08] ---**
    In any case,
    you don't have much time left.
**[20:13] ---**
    Fire Style...
**[20:14] ---**
    Hiding in Ash Jutsu!
**[20:24] ---**
    *Madara is regaining his past strength.*
**[20:28] ---**
    *Not good. His next target is...*
**[20:49] ---**
    I'll be taking you all next...
**[20:55] ---**
    you filthy beasts!
**[22:36] ---**
    The taste of this blood,
    this pain...
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    This is my body!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I can finally experience
    and feel this fight.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    He's bleeding and wounded.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    In other words, he's not
    a reanimation anymore.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    How did he come back to life?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    No way...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Hidden Heart"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    No way...with Obito?
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE HIDDEN HEART
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:01] ---**
    Though things did
    happen out of order.
**[00:03] ---**
    Oh well.
**[00:11] ---**
    So this is Sage Art Chakra…
**[00:15] ---**
    Is that all there is to it?
**[00:19] ---**
    Seems like this will be
    easy to control.
**[00:27] ---**
    I'll be taking you all next…
**[00:32] ---**
    you filthy beasts.
**[02:07] ---**
    *The Hidden Heart*
    
    
    
**[02:26] ---**
    You know, staying here…
**[02:28] ---**
    Yeah…isn't wise.
**[02:31] ---**
    Get away from here!
**[03:03] ---**
    Shukaku! Get ready!
**[03:06] ---**
    Let's go wild!
**[03:09] ---**
    *Wind Style…*
**[03:10] ---**
    *Sand Bomb! Salvo!*
**[03:20] ---**
    Nice jutsu.
**[03:22] ---**
    But it lacks in finishing power…
**[03:40] ---**
    So you implant your sand with
    this jutsu to stifle movement…
**[04:11] ---**
    Now, Shukaku!
**[04:32] ---**
    Grand Sand Mausoleum Seal!
**[04:40] ---**
    It's a Mausoleum Seal
**[04:42] ---**
    that uses my sand
    and curse mark pattern!
**[04:46] ---**
    He sealed him!
**[04:50] ---**
    Did it work?!
**[04:52] ---**
    He'll never take another
    breath of fresh air again!
**[05:33] ---**
    The Susano'o, huh!
**[05:43] ---**
    I'll be putting collars
    on all of you shortly.
**[05:46] ---**
    Not one of you will
    be able to get away.
**[05:49] ---**
    I won't let you!
**[05:55] ---**
    No one here's going to wag
    his tail for you!
**[05:58] ---**
    Sorry we're late!
**[06:00] ---**
    We were moving the injured.
**[06:02] ---**
    Don't worry!
**[06:04] ---**
    There won't be any more wounded.
**[06:06] ---**
    We're ending this now!
**[06:08] ---**
    Stack tails!
**[06:10] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[06:26] ---**
    You were close,
    you damned raccoon!
**[06:30] ---**
    Quit ordering us around,
    you dumb fox!
**[06:35] ---**
    But this should…
**[06:48] ---**
    Persistent bastard!
**[06:50] ---**
    But he's already taken a beating.
**[06:52] ---**
    All right! One more blast!
**[06:54] ---**
    Yeah, let's go, Naruto!
**[07:06] ---**
    Sorry I'm late, Lord Madara.
**[07:09] ---**
    You're finally here.
**[07:11] ---**
    Hey, that's Zetsu or
    whatever he's called.
**[07:13] ---**
    Reinforcements? Just one?
**[07:15] ---**
    *What's he doin' here now ♪*
**[07:18] ---**
    *Isn't it kinda late? ♪*
**[07:20] ---**
    Do you have it?
**[07:22] ---**
    Of course.
**[07:43] ---**
    This should make things
    a little more fun…
**[07:56] ---**
    *This taste of blood…this pain!*
**[08:01] ---**
    This is my body!
**[08:05] ---**
    *Finally… I can fully*
    *savor battle again!*
**[08:26] ---**
    What's wrong, Kurama?
**[08:28] ---**
    His blood…
**[08:29] ---**
    It's bringing back some
    really bad memories.
**[08:33] ---**
    Blood?
**[08:34] ---**
    That repulsive blood that
    summoned me long ago.
**[08:38] ---**
    Hey, you dumb fox! Don't get scared
    and stick your tail between your legs!
**[08:42] ---**
    I wouldn't underestimate him
    if I were you…
**[08:48] ---**
    This isn't like you!
**[08:50] ---**
    It's rubbing me the wrong way!
**[08:52] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:58] ---**
    Obito!
**[09:12] ---**
    He's gonna fight us using that?
**[09:15] ---**
    Kakashi, can you manage?
**[09:17] ---**
    Yes, in one way or another…
**[09:19] ---**
    Kamui!
**[09:27] ---**
    Did it work?
**[09:30] ---**
    I think…
**[09:32] ---**
    it failed…
**[09:38] ---**
    Not that thing again!
**[09:41] ---**
    Seems the right arm's been wrenched off.
**[09:44] ---**
    Seems there's someone left with
    good eyes on the other side.
**[09:49] ---**
    Well, it's not much of an impediment.
**[09:51] ---**
    And now, I've got a pen for them.
**[09:56] ---**
    All I need to do is
    shove them in there.
**[10:00] ---**
    A fake Rinnegan from a reanimation
    can summon that thing?
**[10:06] ---**
    He's bleeding and wounded.
**[10:10] ---**
    In other words, he's not
    a reanimation anymore.
**[10:13] ---**
    He possesses a real Rinnegan.
**[10:17] ---**
    How did he come back to life?!
**[10:24] ---**
    Naruto, I'm grateful to you.
**[10:29] ---**
    You even extracted
    the Tailed Beasts from Obito,
**[10:33] ---**
    saving me the trouble
    of weakening him.
**[10:37] ---**
    Don't tell me with
    Obito's Rinne Rebirth…
**[10:44] ---**
    *Now just come over, you bastard!*
**[10:48] ---**
    *Everyone's power…*
**[10:51] ---**
    *Don't you dare underestimate it!*
**[10:55] ---**
    Then Obito's…!
**[11:07] ---**
    Obito…
**[11:09] ---**
    He's fighting to prevent
    his Rinnegan
**[11:11] ---**
    from falling into
    Madara's hands.
**[11:13] ---**
    You're stubborn,
    for someone near death.
**[11:18] ---**
    This left eye came to you
    through Nagato,
**[11:24] ---**
    but it's time for it to return it
    to its rightful owner.
**[11:28] ---**
    The only ones who have awakened
    the Rinnegan in this world
**[11:32] ---**
    are the Sage of Six Paths
    and Madara Uchiha.
**[11:37] ---**
    It's not a mere thing to
    be hoarded by the likes of you.
**[11:43] ---**
    I've hidden the right eye…
**[11:46] ---**
    And I'm going to have Kakashi
    destroy the left eye right now.
**[11:55] ---**
    White Zetsu found
    the right eye a while ago
**[11:59] ---**
    and turned it over to Lord Madara.
**[12:07] ---**
    You're a useless fool
    who refuses to die…
**[12:10] ---**
    So stop resisting.
**[12:13] ---**
    You'd be dead already
    if I wasn't sticking to you.
**[12:21] ---**
    Then detach from me and
    take the Rinnegan after I die.
**[12:27] ---**
    The instant I detach from you,
    these two will kill me.
**[12:33] ---**
    Before I can take the Rinnegan.
**[12:38] ---**
    Have you forgotten that
    I was the one
**[12:40] ---**
    who gathered intel for Akatsuki?
**[12:44] ---**
    I've already analyzed these two
    and their strength.
**[12:48] ---**
    It's going to take a bit longer
    for the left eye.
**[12:51] ---**
    Seems like it.
**[12:54] ---**
    This also looks like it's going
    to take a bit longer too.
**[12:57] ---**
    Don't compare me to that brat
**[12:59] ---**
    who took years to get back
    those pets.
**[13:02] ---**
    You're covered in blood.
**[13:05] ---**
    Knowing that I possess
    Hashirama's healing powers
**[13:08] ---**
    might cause me to fight crudely.
**[13:12] ---**
    Let's go!
**[13:14] ---**
    Wait. We don't know how
    he's planning to attack.
**[13:18] ---**
    The Gedo Statue, huh…
**[13:26] ---**
    I'll proceed more carefully.
**[13:29] ---**
    If I use the Rinnegan's true powers,
**[13:31] ---**
    we should see
    a more sophisticated battle.
**[13:35] ---**
    It will only be a few seconds.
**[13:36] ---**
    So watch closely!
**[13:43] ---**
    *Limbo…*
**[13:45] ---**
    *Hengoku!*
**[13:53] ---**
    He might try something…
**[13:56] ---**
    So be careful…
**[14:16] ---**
    *What is this?*
    *What just happened?!*
**[14:19] ---**
    Damn you…
**[14:23] ---**
    The Tailed Beasts got knocked down!
**[14:26] ---**
    Was it Madara's jutsu?!
**[14:36] ---**
    That ought to have tamed you a bit.
**[14:39] ---**
    Now I can put on your collars!
**[14:46] ---**
    Something's coming!
**[15:01] ---**
    Eight-o!
**[15:03] ---**
    Kurama!
**[15:09] ---**
    First, I'll rip the Eight and
    Nine Tails from their Jinchuriki!
**[15:18] ---**
    Eight-o!
**[15:21] ---**
    Damn it!
**[15:22] ---**
    *That's right…*
**[15:23] ---**
    *If I just undo*
    *this Kurama Mode…!
**[15:25] ---**
    It's useless.
**[15:26] ---**
    Once I catch them,
    I won't let them go.
**[15:30] ---**
    It's not working!
**[15:31] ---**
    *Kurama's not going*
    *back inside me…!*
**[15:36] ---**
    Damn it, I'm being pulled backwards!
**[15:38] ---**
    Lord Madara, you must take them
    in order starting with the One Tail.
**[15:42] ---**
    I know that.
**[15:44] ---**
    Since you need to rip out
    the last two Tailed Beasts,
**[15:47] ---**
    Eight and Nine Tails,
    from the Jinchuriki,
**[15:49] ---**
    why not pull in the others,
**[15:51] ---**
    the one tail through seven
    in the time being?
**[15:55] ---**
    You bastard! I'm not letting you
    take Kurama!
**[16:00] ---**
    You're right, it looks like this will
    take longer than I expected.
**[16:03] ---**
    So let's start…with this one!
**[16:08] ---**
    *Desert Hands!*
**[16:13] ---**
    You can't have Shukaku!
**[16:23] ---**
    *When you fall asleep,*
    *I'll take over your body and soul…*
**[16:29] ---**
    *And slaughter all you humans!*
**[16:34] ---**
    *Better not doze off.*
**[16:38] ---**
    *You hate humans?*
**[16:42] ---**
    *Yeah! I despise them!*
**[16:45] ---**
    *But… You're here to protect*
    *my village, aren't you?*
**[16:50] ---**
    *I've never protected you all*
    *because I wanted to.*
**[16:53] ---**
    *You humans are less than us beasts!*
**[17:00] ---**
    Here's your meal, Shukaku!
**[17:12] ---**
    Why do we have to stand guard
    over a creepy, weird monk
**[17:14] ---**
    even though we're senior shinobi?
**[17:18] ---**
    I know what you mean.
**[17:19] ---**
    But guarding the Jinchuriki means
    they recognize your skills.
**[17:24] ---**
    Just stop whining and deal with it.
**[17:27] ---**
    Poor damned monk.
**[17:29] ---**
    They don't even call you by
    your real name anymore.
**[17:34] ---**
    I don't really mind.
**[17:37] ---**
    Since you know my real name.
**[17:42] ---**
    You may be a monk,
    but don't you ever get lonely…
**[17:45] ---**
    putting up with humans
    who hate you, and a beast like me?
**[17:52] ---**
    Caged together with
    a man-hating beast
**[17:55] ---**
    that's been with you ever
    since you were born?
**[17:59] ---**
    Well, I'd die the moment
    I'm separated from you…
**[18:04] ---**
    Since I'm a Jinchuriki.
**[18:07] ---**
    There's no need to distinguish
    between human and beast.
**[18:13] ---**
    That's because a friend of
    the heart provides peace of mind,
**[18:17] ---**
    no matter the species.
**[18:19] ---**
    You are one strange bastard.
**[18:22] ---**
    There isn't ever going to be
    another human like you again.
**[18:27] ---**
    No…
**[18:29] ---**
    I think you're wrong.
**[18:32] ---**
    Human souls are like reflecting water.
**[18:35] ---**
    People often speak or act opposite
    of their true feelings.
**[18:40] ---**
    But essentially,
    the human heart wishes
**[18:44] ---**
    to connect with and
    accept each other.
**[18:48] ---**
    Even with beasts.
**[18:53] ---**
    You know…
**[18:55] ---**
    you really do remind me of
    the old man, Sage of Six Paths.
**[19:10] ---**
    Thank you.
**[19:13] ---**
    Those are the most heartwarming words
    I've ever received from you.
**[19:21] ---**
    Hurry up and eat, old man!
    We've got things to do here!
**[19:26] ---**
    I really can't see there being
    others like you out there.
**[19:31] ---**
    I'm sure there are.
**[19:33] ---**
    And I know one day,
**[19:35] ---**
    there will be someone who will protect,
    redeem, and shepherd you.
**[19:41] ---**
    And the moment you come
    to accept his true heart,
**[19:44] ---**
    you too will likely comprehend…
**[19:47] ---**
    ACCEPTANCE HEART
    
    The meaning of these words
    my mentor etched onto my palms…
**[19:53] ---**
    LOVE
**[20:01] ---**
    Gaara, don't lose!
**[20:08] ---**
    Until now, I've always
    considered you unpleasant.
**[20:13] ---**
    But it was because
    I was a Jinchuriki,
**[20:15] ---**
    that I was able to meet Naruto…
**[20:18] ---**
    So there's one thing
    I'm grateful to you for now.
**[20:24] ---**
    You Sand brat!
**[20:26] ---**
    Are you really that happy
    to have your old pet back?
**[20:30] ---**
    How dare you interfere,
**[20:31] ---**
    even when you're not going
    to die as a Jinchuriki!
**[20:41] ---**
    My motto is absolute defense!
**[20:44] ---**
    I've still got my pride as Shukaku!
**[20:48] ---**
    I know…
**[20:52] ---**
    No… you know nothing at all.
**[22:37] ---**
    People desire peace.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    And yet on the other hand,
    crave conflict as well.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    That's right, Hashirama's nation-building
    bore a paradox.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    People will sacrifice something in order
    to protect something else.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Stop Madara! Don't you—!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A True Ending"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I gave you plenty enough time
    How unfortunate.
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:11] ---**
    Gaara… Don't overexert yourself!
**[00:15] ---**
    I'm no longer a Jinchuriki…
**[00:18] ---**
    So...
**[00:22] ---**
    I can finally pull all-nighters
    with you as an equal!
**[00:25] ---**
    *Gaara… You…*
**[00:29] ---**
    *There's no need to distinguish*
    *between human and beast.*
**[00:36] ---**
    *…remind me of Bunpuku.*
**[00:56] ---**
    Damn it!
**[01:03] ---**
    Hey, Kazekage brat!
**[01:05] ---**
    Do me a favor!
**[01:14] ---**
    All right…
**[01:16] ---**
    You got that… Gaara?!
**[01:29] ---**
    Naruto!
**[03:01] ---**
    *A True Ending*
    
    
    
**[03:27] ---**
    Shukaku!
**[03:42] ---**
    *Sorry… Bee!*
**[03:45] ---**
    *I'm counting on you…*
    *Kazekage brat!*
**[03:59] ---**
    I don't believe it…
**[04:00] ---**
    They've all been sucked in!
**[04:06] ---**
    Well, I guess...
**[04:08] ---**
    that's about all I can expect
    from my current strength.
**[04:12] ---**
    It took more than a few seconds...
**[04:15] ---**
    But you were faster than Obito.
**[04:19] ---**
    You really do talk too much.
**[04:22] ---**
    You're all dud inventions of mine...
**[04:25] ---**
    Always finding fault with me.
**[04:28] ---**
    Black Zetsu is nicknamed
    "Wicked Tongue"
**[04:30] ---**
    and they call us White Zetsu,
    "Wagging Tongues."
**[04:39] ---**
    I hope the other battle
    is going well.
**[04:42] ---**
    Don't worry!
    After all, the base is good.
**[04:48] ---**
    *Flying Raijin Slice!*
**[05:02] ---**
    *You're mine!*
**[05:05] ---**
    *This is my chance!*
**[05:13] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[05:19] ---**
    *Gaara... Gaara!*
**[05:27] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[05:30] ---**
    *I swear I will not let you die!*
**[05:34] ---**
    *Like I'd let you die!*
**[05:42] ---**
    It's your M.O. to strike an opponent
    when he's convinced of victory...
**[05:50] ---**
    Making the brats do the work...
**[05:52] ---**
    You're still a delegator,
    aren't you, Tobirama?
**[05:57] ---**
    Same goes for you.
**[06:02] ---**
    However, heaven is on my side.
**[06:05] ---**
    Look at you, the one touted
    as the fastest shinobi ever.
**[06:10] ---**
    There's a reason why
    you two brothers
**[06:13] ---**
    can't regain your former speed.
**[06:16] ---**
    Whether it's coincidence
    or if it's inevitable...
**[06:19] ---**
    I've got the edge now.
**[06:23] ---**
    Plus I'm nurturing a new eye.
**[06:26] ---**
    Though it's unclear which side
    they'll end up on...
**[06:40] ---**
    Wait!
**[06:43] ---**
    Uchiha lad…
**[06:45] ---**
    Let me give you a jutsu.
**[06:48] ---**
    A jutsu?
**[06:50] ---**
    Yes…
**[06:51] ---**
    Madara stole my Sage Chakra…
**[06:56] ---**
    This jutsu will respond to
    the Sage Chakra and bind him.
**[07:00] ---**
    Then do it yourself…
**[07:03] ---**
    If you're a reanimation,
    you'll recover right away.
**[07:06] ---**
    If you want…
**[07:08] ---**
    I'll pull those things
    out of your back for you.
**[07:11] ---**
    These rods seem to be piercing
    my Chakra Points,
**[07:13] ---**
    preventing me from
    infusing more chakra.
**[07:17] ---**
    Also, I think it's a bad idea
    for you to touch them.
**[07:23] ---**
    I will give you all of
    my remaining chakra.
**[07:28] ---**
    You must stop Madara…
**[07:30] ---**
    Why ask me, an Uchiha?
**[07:35] ---**
    You're a lot like him...
**[07:38] ---**
    Madara's younger brother…
**[07:40] ---**
    Izuna Uchiha.
**[07:45] ---**
    So? What does that have to do
    with stopping him?
**[07:50] ---**
    Madara's fundamentally
    a kind man.
**[07:53] ---**
    He was very devout
    and loved his siblings.
**[07:58] ---**
    That's why he gave you
    a chance at redemption.
**[08:04] ---**
    *But killing you would be such*
    *a waste with an eye like that.*
**[08:09] ---**
    *How about it? You're a survivor*
    *of the Uchiha like me.*
**[08:12] ---**
    *Want to join forces?*
**[08:14] ---**
    *Make no mistake.*
    *You're a dead man.*
**[08:21] ---**
    *Fine then…*
**[08:23] ---**
    *In any case, you don't have*
    *much time left yourself.*
**[08:31] ---**
    You might be able to stop Madara
    without using force.
**[08:37] ---**
    Now…come stand before me.
**[08:53] ---**
    To be honest...
**[08:55] ---**
    I've wanted to do this
    to you for a long time.
**[09:01] ---**
    Since you're…
**[09:08] ---**
    the one who killed Izuna!
**[09:13] ---**
    But you're just a moving corpse,
    so it's hardly fulfilling.
**[09:17] ---**
    Madara… What is it that you
    so desire so badly
**[09:19] ---**
    that you'd come back to life for?
**[09:22] ---**
    Our era, our time ended…
    ages ago!
**[09:26] ---**
    I just want to build the nation
    that Hashirama couldn't.
**[09:31] ---**
    But this world belongs to Hashirama,
    my predecessor who failed.
**[09:36] ---**
    Drastic measures are needed
    to save the dying patient.
**[09:40] ---**
    I'm going on ahead!
**[09:44] ---**
    So this thing called
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi was your idea?
**[09:49] ---**
    This is your idea of a cure?
**[09:51] ---**
    Yes. Hashirama's nation-building
    bore a paradox.
**[09:56] ---**
    People desire peace...
**[09:59] ---**
    And yet, on the other hand,
    crave conflict as well.
**[10:03] ---**
    That duality is mankind.
**[10:07] ---**
    To only want peace
    and to discard conflict...
**[10:11] ---**
    would cause people
    to stop being people.
**[10:14] ---**
    And those two things stand
    together side by side.
**[10:21] ---**
    *Be they a friend...sibling...*
    *or even my own child...*
**[10:27] ---**
    *I will not forgive anyone*
    *who threatens the village.*
**[10:36] ---**
    People will sacrifice something in order
    to protect something else.
**[10:41] ---**
    Except in a true dream world.
**[10:45] ---**
    You've got a point.
**[10:48] ---**
    *But…it's not a dream*
**[10:52] ---**
    *that you should interfere with!*
**[10:56] ---**
    Now.
**[11:05] ---**
    You could say that this world is
**[11:07] ---**
    Hashirama's paradox world.
**[11:10] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[11:15] ---**
    *What is this?!*
**[11:20] ---**
    In order to protect something…
**[11:22] ---**
    one must sacrifice something else.
**[11:25] ---**
    Stop, Madara!
**[11:27] ---**
    Don't go any further…
**[11:28] ---**
    "Be they a friend...sibling..."
**[11:33] ---**
    "or even my own child…"
**[11:40] ---**
    I gave you plenty of time.
**[11:43] ---**
    And I warned you…
    that there wasn't much time left.
**[11:48] ---**
    How unfortunate.
**[12:02] ---**
    Madara!
**[12:04] ---**
    What kind of a man are you?!
**[12:26] ---**
    It's coming again!
**[12:40] ---**
    My jutsu won't activate!
**[12:42] ---**
    *My chakra is—!*
**[12:45] ---**
    I can't believe we've been stopped
    by the likes of him...
**[12:51] ---**
    This strange thing...
    It's blocking our way!
**[12:55] ---**
    *It's using the Wood Style…*
**[12:56] ---**
    *What is it?*
**[12:58] ---**
    I told you, I wouldn't let you
    pass so easily.
**[13:03] ---**
    By the way, isn't there anyone
    who can give me
**[13:06] ---**
    a serious answer to my question?
**[13:09] ---**
    I asked you, what does
    it feel like to poo?
**[13:16] ---**
    Well… I'm thinking it's like
    the refreshing feeling you get
**[13:20] ---**
    after killing someone.
**[13:22] ---**
    All five elements at once?!
**[13:26] ---**
    *How do we counter that?*
**[13:28] ---**
    I know!
**[13:46] ---**
    Impressive…
**[13:47] ---**
    Using the same jutsu simultaneously
    as a counterbalance…
**[13:53] ---**
    We're saved.
**[13:55] ---**
    Don't underestimate Lord Third!
**[13:58] ---**
    *That said, everyone's exhausted*
    *most of their chakra.*
**[14:02] ---**
    *Which leaves only a reanimated*
    *Lord Third to fight back.*
**[14:08] ---**
    *If Lord Third should fall,*
    *we're done for...*
**[14:11] ---**
    *Forget Madara. We need to do*
    *something about him.*
**[14:16] ---**
    *To be honest...*
**[14:17] ---**
    *Everyone needs to*
    *start fighting as if*
**[14:19] ---**
    *Lady Tsunade, Shizune and I aren't able*
    *to use Medical Ninjutsu anymore.*
**[14:24] ---**
    *This large-scale battle using*
    *big attacks is taking too long!*
**[14:27] ---**
    *And we haven't had*
    *a chance to regroup.*
**[14:32] ---**
    *We'll just have trust young Naruto*
    *to take care of Madara.*
**[14:39] ---**
    This is our chance, Lord Orochimaru!
**[14:42] ---**
    Not yet.
**[14:48] ---**
    *This foe…*
**[14:49] ---**
    No way!
**[14:51] ---**
    Shh! Be quiet!
**[14:53] ---**
    No way! This is—!
**[14:56] ---**
    What is it?
**[14:57] ---**
    S-Sa…
**[15:02] ---**
    Did something happen to Sasuke?
**[15:05] ---**
    It seems I should do it
    sooner than later, after all...
**[15:11] ---**
    What is it, Ino?
**[15:13] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:14] ---**
    What?
**[15:21] ---**
    What is that?!
    That's Lord Gaara's…!
**[15:24] ---**
    Over there!
**[15:29] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:33] ---**
    There's no time to explain.
**[15:36] ---**
    Hokage! Come with me!
**[15:39] ---**
    Heal Naruto as much you can
    while we're en route.
**[15:42] ---**
    I've depleted my chakra.
    I can't use Medical Ninjutsu anymore.
**[15:46] ---**
    Take Sakura.
    She can still help a little.
**[15:51] ---**
    How did Naruto
    end up like this?!
**[15:54] ---**
    What happened over there?!
**[15:56] ---**
    Just come!
**[15:57] ---**
    Don't waste time! I'll explain later!
**[16:01] ---**
    Quickly, Sakura, get on the sand!
**[16:03] ---**
    Right!
**[16:05] ---**
    How could this happen?!
**[16:10] ---**
    Is Naruto there?
**[16:11] ---**
    Yeah! Over there!
**[16:14] ---**
    Can't you use your Byakugan?
**[16:17] ---**
    Did he bring down Madara?
**[16:34] ---**
    *Naruto's heartbeat…*
    *is getting weaker and weaker!*
**[16:41] ---**
    Naruto!
**[17:00] ---**
    *Neji, please protect Naruto!*
**[17:08] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki…
**[17:11] ---**
    We're talking about
    the Uzumaki Clan,
**[17:13] ---**
    so I'm sure he's going
    to be stubborn…
**[17:15] ---**
    But trying to do anything
    for him is useless.
**[17:19] ---**
    A Jinchuriki dies when
    the Tailed Beast is extracted.
**[17:23] ---**
    – That's an absolute rule!
    – That's an absolute rule!
**[17:37] ---**
    The fact that you possess
    such eyes proves
**[17:40] ---**
    that you've continued to seek
    something despite many great losses.
**[17:46] ---**
    But it all ends here.
**[17:49] ---**
    You will lose your very self.
**[17:52] ---**
    It's what they call a true ending.
**[18:00] ---**
    *I always lied to you and*
    *asked you to forgive me.*
**[18:05] ---**
    *Deliberately keeping you at*
    *a distance by my own hand.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *All because I didn't want you to*
    *get caught up in any of this.*
**[18:13] ---**
    *But now, I believe…*
**[18:16] ---**
    *That perhaps you could have*
    *changed Father, Mother,*
**[18:20] ---**
    *and the rest of the Uchiha.*
**[18:27] ---**
    *I will love you always.*
**[19:07] ---**
    I'm not dying.
**[19:10] ---**
    I…can't…die.
**[19:33] ---**
    I can't let Itachi's life...be in vain!
**[19:39] ---**
    *No matter what darkness or*
    *contradictions lie within the village...*
**[19:43] ---**
    *I am still Itachi Uchiha*
    *of the Leaf!*
**[19:46] ---**
    Not yet…not here…
**[19:51] ---**
    *Until I build a true village…*
**[19:55] ---**
    *and become a true Kage.*
**[20:00] ---**
    I'm...
**[20:03] ---**
    not gonna die!
**[20:14] ---**
    Hang in there! Don't give up!
**[20:17] ---**
    You are strong! You will make it!
**[20:27] ---**
    *My chakra's almost all...!*
**[20:37] ---**
    S-Sasuke is—!
**[20:38] ---**
    What's wrong, Karin?
**[20:40] ---**
    Sasuke is really going to—!
**[20:44] ---**
    At this rate...
**[20:45] ---**
    At this rate, Naruto's going to…
**[20:47] ---**
    – …die!
    – ...die!
**[22:37] ---**
    To think Naruto would
    end up like this!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Sakura, I leave Naruto
    in your hands!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Naruto, you have always been
    our village's symbol of hope.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    You were in everyone's thoughts
    as they trained!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The New Chunin Exams"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Yes, ever since that time...

    *Sakura… I leave Naruto*
    *in your hands!*
**[00:29] ---**
    *He has always been*
    *our village's symbol of hope.*
**[00:40] ---**
    *Ever since that time,*
    *everyone has always…*
**[00:50] ---**
    What did Lord Jiraiya say?
**[00:53] ---**
    It seems the training
    is going well.
**[01:09] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[01:14] ---**
    Giant Rasengan!
**[01:21] ---**
    The force of your Rasengan
**[01:23] ---**
    has grown in
    just two years of training.
**[01:29] ---**
    Perhaps it's about time
    we move on to the next level.
**[01:33] ---**
    Next level?
**[01:34] ---**
    Yes…
**[01:37] ---**
    What're you gonna do?
**[01:39] ---**
    Perhaps the time has come
    to utilize your inner power.
**[01:43] ---**
    Is that...?
**[01:45] ---**
    Yes… You may have to put your life
    on the line for this training.
**[01:49] ---**
    All right, I'm ready for it!
**[01:59] ---**
    It's been two years already…
**[02:03] ---**
    The day that brat returns
    may soon be upon us.
**[02:08] ---**
    LEAF HOSPITAL
    
**[02:18] ---**
    Naruto is a mysterious being…
**[02:22] ---**
    He's been away from the village
    for two whole years and yet…
**[02:41] ---**
    Inuzuka Style!
    Man Beast Transformation Combo!
**[02:43] ---**
    Two-Headed Wolf!
**[02:47] ---**
    Wolf Fang Over Fang!
**[02:52] ---**
    …his presence keeps on growing.
**[03:03] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[03:07] ---**
    I'm at my limit!
**[03:08] ---**
    Just ten more laps!
**[03:10] ---**
    If you stop now,
    Naruto will laugh at you!
**[03:15] ---**
    Everyone seems to keep Naruto
    in their thoughts as they train!
**[03:36] ---**
    A messenger hawk!
**[03:42] ---**
    Where?!
**[03:45] ---**
    Lord Kazekage!
**[03:46] ---**
    A Shinobi Hawk has
    brought a message
**[03:49] ---**
    from the Hidden Leaf's
    Fifth Hokage.
**[05:24] ---**
    The New Chunin Exams
    
    
    
**[05:36] ---**
    I was getting tired of waiting.
**[05:39] ---**
    You're our welcoming party?
**[05:41] ---**
    Thank you for coming to meet us.
**[05:43] ---**
    Well, it's a drag,
    but seeing as it's Lord Kazekage…
**[05:49] ---**
    Welcome.
**[05:58] ---**
    Here is the data from
    the Chunin Exams two years ago.
**[06:05] ---**
    A total of 153 entrants.
**[06:08] ---**
    Information about
    the entrant's village,
**[06:10] ---**
    the three rounds of exams,
    and the qualifying statistics
**[06:12] ---**
    have been compiled
    for easy reading.
**[06:15] ---**
    But you would know more
    about the reason behind
**[06:18] ---**
    the interruption of the final round
    and its chronology.
**[06:22] ---**
    Due to the suspension
    of the last Chunin Exams,
**[06:25] ---**
    the Hidden Leaf would like to
    sponsor a combined Chunin Exam.
**[06:30] ---**
    Thanks in part to
    the Hidden Leaf's cooperation,
**[06:32] ---**
    the situation in
    our village has stabilized
**[06:34] ---**
    during the last two years…
**[06:35] ---**
    In particular,
**[06:36] ---**
    our training curriculum
    has been very successful
**[06:39] ---**
    and we have developed more genin
**[06:41] ---**
    who are qualified to
    take the Chunin Exams.
**[06:43] ---**
    Then you have no objection
    to our sponsoring an event?
**[06:47] ---**
    Before that, Lady Hokage…
    What's your true motive?
**[06:53] ---**
    "True motive?"
**[06:56] ---**
    I mean the timing of this thing.
    Why hold the Chunin Exams now?
**[07:00] ---**
    If the reason is lack of personnel…
**[07:02] ---**
    you could have done this sooner.
**[07:07] ---**
    All right.
**[07:08] ---**
    I'll be honest.
**[07:12] ---**
    The first reason is to gauge
    the reactions of
**[07:14] ---**
    each of the villages
    within the Five Great Nations.
**[07:18] ---**
    Each, who on the surface,
    purport to be at peace.
**[07:22] ---**
    Their response to having
    the combined Chunin Exams
**[07:25] ---**
    will reveal their true feelings.
**[07:27] ---**
    The second reason is to
    investigate Akatsuki's movements.
**[07:32] ---**
    It's said that they seek
    the Tailed Beasts from each village,
**[07:35] ---**
    but they've been awfully quiet
    these past two years.
**[07:39] ---**
    You want to use the Chunin Exams
    to open the village
**[07:42] ---**
    to create an opportunity
    to lure the Akatsuki out?
**[07:47] ---**
    Yes. The Akatsuki have
    probably grown impatient
**[07:50] ---**
    and are ready to make a move.
**[08:00] ---**
    This is a risky—
**[08:01] ---**
    Hold on.
**[08:06] ---**
    These Chunin Exams…
**[08:08] ---**
    The Hidden Sand
    would like to host it,
**[08:11] ---**
    in conjunction with
    my introduction as Kazekage.
**[08:16] ---**
    That will not do.
**[08:18] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf must
    sponsor these Chunin Exams.
**[08:22] ---**
    It's so that we may finish
    what we started previously.
**[08:25] ---**
    Yes, absolutely.
**[08:29] ---**
    Lord Kazekage cannot
    decide this all by himself.
**[08:32] ---**
    He must consult the village elders.
**[08:35] ---**
    Yeah. We need time to contact them.
**[08:39] ---**
    Let's come back to this again
    at the next meeting.
**[08:45] ---**
    Fine.
**[08:48] ---**
    We'll settle this during
    the next meeting.
**[08:58] ---**
    This is becoming a drag.
**[09:01] ---**
    Yeah. I didn't expect Gaara
    to make such an announcement.
**[09:06] ---**
    He really didn't tell you anything?
**[09:09] ---**
    That came out of nowhere.
**[09:11] ---**
    Well, he probably
    has his own ideas.
**[09:24] ---**
    I leave it to you.
**[09:26] ---**
    If the Hokage is right
    and the Akatsuki make their move,
**[09:29] ---**
    you're going to be
    their target, right?
**[09:32] ---**
    If the enemy wants
    the Tailed Beasts,
**[09:34] ---**
    they'll come for me
    sooner or later.
**[09:37] ---**
    Then I'll just be the bait
    and take them down.
**[09:40] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[09:41] ---**
    The village has welcomed you
    as their new Kazekage
**[09:44] ---**
    but things are still unstable!
**[09:48] ---**
    I'm aware of that.
**[09:51] ---**
    I know that some are not happy
    that I have become the Kazekage…
**[09:55] ---**
    and would welcome
    an opportunity to kill me.
**[10:00] ---**
    Then why would you even consider
    hosting the event in our village?!
**[10:02] ---**
    It is precisely why I want
**[10:03] ---**
    the Chunin Exams
    in Hidden Sand Village.
**[10:07] ---**
    You can't be serious!
**[10:09] ---**
    It's not the Akatsuki
    you want to lure out…
**[10:12] ---**
    But the rebels in the village?
**[10:16] ---**
    That's just too dangerous.
**[10:33] ---**
    Regarding the combined
    Chunin Exams under discussion…
**[10:35] ---**
    It is Lord Kazekage's desire
**[10:37] ---**
    to host the event
    in Hidden Sand Village.
**[10:40] ---**
    He intends to introduce himself
    to the other nations.
**[10:45] ---**
    Is that wise?
**[10:47] ---**
    While things have been quiet
    for a while now,
**[10:50] ---**
    it does not change
    the fact that Gaara is
**[10:51] ---**
    "a military weapon to be feared."
**[10:54] ---**
    As long as Gaara lives,
**[10:56] ---**
    this village can never
    be truly at peace.
**[11:02] ---**
    For the second round of the exam,
    Lord Gaara intends to
**[11:06] ---**
    suggest the Demon Desert
    as a suitable arena.
**[11:11] ---**
    And we, the Hidden Sand,
    will do our utmost to support him!
**[11:23] ---**
    Yura is on to us.
**[11:26] ---**
    No…everyone is
    uneasy about Gaara.
**[11:30] ---**
    But that's not enough
    to plan a coup d'état.
**[11:34] ---**
    Well, well…my elders…
**[11:37] ---**
    Of all places to find you.
**[11:40] ---**
    What do you want?
**[11:41] ---**
    We said we are in favor
    of Lord Gaara's plan.
**[11:45] ---**
    Nothing, I just forgot to tell you…
**[11:48] ---**
    Lord Gaara plans to
    personally supervise the exam site.
**[11:55] ---**
    We'll have to be very careful
    with preparations.
**[11:57] ---**
    After all, the second round
    is a survival test
**[12:01] ---**
    and there are always fatalities.
**[12:04] ---**
    Why who's to say
    nothing will happen
**[12:07] ---**
    to the supervisor himself,
    Lord Gaara…
**[12:13] ---**
    Excuse me…
**[12:19] ---**
    So this is the perfect opportunity
    to get rid of the Kazekage
**[12:22] ---**
    and make it look purely accidental…
**[12:25] ---**
    But he is a Jinchuriki.
**[12:27] ---**
    There's a way.
**[12:29] ---**
    The first Jinchuriki, Bunpuku,
**[12:32] ---**
    was able to temporarily seal
    Shukaku into a teapot.
**[12:35] ---**
    We can use that…
**[12:39] ---**
    What is your decision,
    Lady Tsunade?
**[12:45] ---**
    Two years ago, Jiraiya had intel
    that said the Akatsuki would
**[12:49] ---**
    target Naruto
    in three or four years.
**[12:54] ---**
    And two years have passed…
**[12:56] ---**
    I'm sure they're itching
    to make a move.
**[13:00] ---**
    You're not going to use Naruto
    as bait are you?
**[13:02] ---**
    No…
**[13:03] ---**
    As the Hokage of
    Hidden Leaf Village,
**[13:06] ---**
    I cannot do such a thing.
**[13:10] ---**
    Don't tell me…Lord Kazekage
    will assume that role?
**[13:14] ---**
    As luck would have it,
    he was the one who proposed it.
**[13:17] ---**
    But will the advisors agree?
**[13:20] ---**
    I'll placate them
    by suggesting a joint-sponsorship.
**[13:24] ---**
    We can't negotiate any further.
**[13:29] ---**
    I looked over the plans
    you submitted…
**[13:36] ---**
    What do you think about
**[13:37] ---**
    a joint-sponsorship
    with the Hidden Leaf?
**[13:42] ---**
    We'll hold round one,
    the written exam,
**[13:43] ---**
    at the Hidden Leaf…
**[13:45] ---**
    And the Hidden Sand
**[13:47] ---**
    will host the site of
    the second round survival test.
**[13:54] ---**
    The Forest of Death has
    become too familiar as a test site.
**[13:59] ---**
    I was just thinking a new site
    would be necessary.
**[14:02] ---**
    Hmm… I agree.
**[14:10] ---**
    We have no objections.
**[14:17] ---**
    All right then…
**[14:20] ---**
    We'll meet again
    at the Chunin Exams.
**[14:22] ---**
    Yeah…
**[14:24] ---**
    Come to us if any trouble arises.
**[14:27] ---**
    We'll take care of it, Mr. Crybaby.
**[14:34] ---**
    Damn it. She doesn't change.
**[14:40] ---**
    The Hidden Sound probably
    won't take part this time around…
**[14:43] ---**
    So should we just send invitations
**[14:46] ---**
    to everyone else
    from the last time?
**[14:48] ---**
    Yes. In addition,
    send invitations for
**[14:51] ---**
    the introduction of
    the new Kazekage
**[14:53] ---**
    to every village within
    the Five Great Nations.
**[14:56] ---**
    I see…
**[14:58] ---**
    Then we can monitor
    each village's response.
**[15:00] ---**
    Aside from Akatsuki,
    this is the other reason
**[15:04] ---**
    for reopening
    the combined Chunin Exams.
**[15:07] ---**
    Yes, I understand.
**[15:22] ---**
    Deliver this to every village.
**[15:25] ---**
    It's the invitation to
    the Chunin Exams.
**[15:27] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[15:37] ---**
    We've put out the bait…
**[15:40] ---**
    Now, let's see how they react.
**[16:07] ---**
    Lady Tsunade.
**[16:08] ---**
    The Hidden Sand replied right away…
**[16:13] ---**
    Oh…
**[16:14] ---**
    They'll be sending nine teams…
    27 genin.
**[16:18] ---**
    Last time,
    they sent 30 in ten teams…
**[16:22] ---**
    Although that's one team short,
**[16:24] ---**
    considering the Hidden Sand's
    current situation,
**[16:26] ---**
    one has to commend them
    for nurturing this many genin.
**[16:29] ---**
    Yes…
**[16:31] ---**
    Any word from the other villages?
**[16:35] ---**
    No, not yet.
**[16:37] ---**
    How will the other Kage respond?
**[16:43] ---**
    Chunin Exams, you say?!
**[16:47] ---**
    Damn that Princess Tsunade!
**[16:48] ---**
    She's getting carried away!
**[16:50] ---**
    She probably coaxed
    the Kazekage into cooperating…
**[16:53] ---**
    …and plans to get the jump on us
    within the Five Great Nations.
**[16:57] ---**
    What will you do?
**[16:59] ---**
    Ignore her!
**[17:00] ---**
    Just ignore her!
**[17:03] ---**
    Do not mention of word of this,
    or the past, to anyone!
**[17:06] ---**
    Especially Bee!
    Do not let him find out!
**[17:09] ---**
    Whenever there
    are events like this,
**[17:11] ---**
    he gets excited about live concerts
    and what not.
**[17:16] ---**
    Actually, I already told him.
**[17:18] ---**
    What?!
**[17:19] ---**
    He kept asking questions…
    I'm sorry.
**[17:24] ---**
    Bee!
**[17:25] ---**
    Where is Bee?!
**[17:28] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[17:30] ---**
    Find Bee immediately
    and bring him here!
**[17:33] ---**
    Understood.
**[17:35] ---**
    This is so dull…
**[17:38] ---**
    A concert at Hidden Leaf Village…
**[17:41] ---**
    Tuning up at the Chunin Exams…
**[17:44] ---**
    Take a lesson from Kin-chan Sensei!
**[17:49] ---**
    Yay!
**[17:51] ---**
    Bee! Lord Raikage wants to see you!
**[17:53] ---**
    Please return!
**[17:55] ---**
    Fool, ya fool!
**[18:01] ---**
    What did Lord Raikage say?
**[18:04] ---**
    Unfortunately, they are swamped
    with village business
**[18:07] ---**
    and don't have enough
    time to prepare.
**[18:15] ---**
    Now why would the Hokage
    and Kazekage send a letter?
**[18:20] ---**
    Seems they're resuming
    the Chunin Exams…
**[18:27] ---**
    What shall we do?
**[18:29] ---**
    We must consider the matter
    with Lord Yagura the Fourth…
**[18:31] ---**
    I believe we should concentrate
    on rebuilding the village…
**[18:36] ---**
    You may have a point.
**[18:38] ---**
    Yes!
**[18:39] ---**
    We can't be wasting
    our time participating
**[18:41] ---**
    in a ceremony announcing
    the new Kazekage…
**[18:44] ---**
    CEREMONY
    
    *Ceremony…*
**[18:46] ---**
    CAN'T WASTE TIME FOR
    A CEREMONY FOR ME
    
    *Can't waste time for*
    *a ceremony for me?*
**[18:52] ---**
    Shut up or I'll kill you.
**[18:54] ---**
    What?!
**[18:57] ---**
    Perhaps we should forego
    the Chunin Exams this time.
**[19:03] ---**
    Let's do that.
**[19:07] ---**
    It seems the Hidden Mist
    are tied up as well.
**[19:18] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf has
    delivered an invitation
**[19:20] ---**
    to the combined Chunin Exams!
**[19:26] ---**
    Their ulterior motive
    is crystal clear!
**[19:28] ---**
    They want to test
    the strength of the villages
**[19:31] ---**
    and prepare for the next battle!
**[19:35] ---**
    Just throw it back in their face!
**[19:39] ---**
    I intend to do so!
**[19:44] ---**
    This is what I'll do
    to their invitation!
**[20:07] ---**
    WIND NATION FIRE NATION
    
**[20:09] ---**
    I want you to go here.
**[20:13] ---**
    To Hidden Rain Village.
**[20:15] ---**
    Yes, the most troublesome spot.
**[20:19] ---**
    As expected, every person
    who enters is investigated,
**[20:23] ---**
    and they're kept under strict
    surveillance during their stay.
**[20:27] ---**
    Hanzo of the Salamander rules it…
**[20:31] ---**
    Yes, so I've heard.
**[20:33] ---**
    Even if I'm carrying an invitation
    to the combined Chunin Exams,
**[20:36] ---**
    I doubt if they'll
    let me in easily.
**[20:39] ---**
    There's domestic instability
    and even rumors of a coup d'état.
**[20:43] ---**
    It's so closed off, no one knows
    the true state of things.
**[20:47] ---**
    While I'm at it, shall I look into
    their internal affairs then?
**[20:51] ---**
    Yes, but don't take any chances.
**[22:37] ---**
    Are you actually
    going to supervise?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Yes. I'm going to participate
    among frontlines
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    of the Second Round by supervising.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    What will you achieve
    by smoking out the rebels?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    No…
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Then why? Why would you go
    so far as to face danger head on?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    The Chunin Exams Begin!
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Naruto is working hard
    to forge bonds with others…
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE CHUNIN EXAMS BEGIN!
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:20] ---**
    Halt!
**[00:26] ---**
    Are you a shinobi
    of the Hidden Leaf?
**[00:28] ---**
    Yes, I'm Kakashi Hatake
    of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[00:32] ---**
    Our Lady Hokage sent me here.
**[00:35] ---**
    I have a joint letter from the Hidden Leaf
    and the Hidden Sand.
**[00:40] ---**
    Then I will accept it.
**[00:42] ---**
    No… I've been ordered to
    present it to your leader,
**[00:45] ---**
    Hanzo of the Salamander himself.
**[00:49] ---**
    Is that a part of your plan
    to get close to Lord Hanzo?!
**[00:54] ---**
    Threatening me is the same as
    threatening the Hidden Leaf and Sand…
**[01:00] ---**
    Is that what you really want?
**[01:05] ---**
    All right…
**[01:07] ---**
    I'll let them know.
**[02:41] ---**
    *The Chunin Exams Begin!*
    
    
    
**[02:56] ---**
    Lord Hanzo will see you now.
**[02:58] ---**
    Surrender all of your weapons,
    and then enter.
**[03:02] ---**
    *As rumored, the immigration inspections*
    *are extremely strict.*
**[03:13] ---**
    *So his security is airtight.*
**[03:16] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake…
**[03:18] ---**
    Nice of you to come.
**[03:20] ---**
    Put the message you brought
    over there.
**[04:06] ---**
    The Leaf has brought an invitation
    to the Chunin Exams
**[04:08] ---**
    jointly sponsored by them
    and the Sand.
**[04:11] ---**
    It's probably just a ploy to gather
    all the villages and spy on them.
**[04:18] ---**
    Hanzo sent many of the genin from
    this village for the last Chunin Exams.
**[04:26] ---**
    Then send a few teams
    to keep them happy.
**[04:31] ---**
    Let them keep believing that
    Hanzo is the leader of the Hidden Rain…
**[04:35] ---**
    In the meantime, we'll gather intel
    about the Jinchuriki.
**[04:39] ---**
    Understood…
**[05:11] ---**
    Is everyone here?
**[05:18] ---**
    A letter has arrived from Hanzo of
    the Salamander
**[05:22] ---**
    from the Hidden Rain Village.
**[05:28] ---**
    Well, well… He's sending genin to
    join the Hidden Leaf and Sand…
**[05:35] ---**
    Does this repudiate the rumors
    surrounding the Hidden Rain then?
**[05:41] ---**
    No…
**[05:42] ---**
    Sending genin could simply be
    a ruse to hide the truth…
**[05:49] ---**
    Then…
**[05:51] ---**
    Keep a close watch
**[05:52] ---**
    on the Hidden Rain genin
    who are sent here.
**[06:19] ---**
    I am so bored…
**[06:29] ---**
    Fuu! Lord Shibuki wants to see you.
**[06:33] ---**
    Oh no! Did I do something?
**[06:39] ---**
    WATERFALL
**[06:45] ---**
    Lord Shibuki, I've brought Fuu.
**[06:48] ---**
    Hey, Fuu!
**[06:52] ---**
    What's up, Chief?!
**[06:55] ---**
    What were you thinking?!
**[06:56] ---**
    Requesting an application for
    the Chunin Exams
**[06:59] ---**
    from the Hidden Leaf?!
**[07:00] ---**
    Shouldn't I have?
**[07:02] ---**
    Then can you recommend me?
**[07:05] ---**
    What?!
**[07:07] ---**
    And what will you do if it leaks out
    that you're a Jinchuriki?
**[07:11] ---**
    Well then…
    I guess I'll go on my own.
**[07:13] ---**
    Huh?!
**[07:15] ---**
    H-Hey wait!
**[07:17] ---**
    Wait, Fuu!
**[07:19] ---**
    I want to see the outside world!
**[07:22] ---**
    If you won't acknowledge me,
    I'll just leave the village!
**[07:25] ---**
    A-All right!
**[07:29] ---**
    You never give up once
    you make up your mind.
**[07:31] ---**
    Will you forgive me?
**[07:35] ---**
    Then listen to me.
**[07:41] ---**
    The Chunin Exams aren't
    your run-of-the mill tests.
**[07:45] ---**
    It's a battle where you
    put your life on the line
**[07:46] ---**
    for your dreams and
    the pride of the village.
**[07:49] ---**
    In the past, the Village Hidden
    in the Waterfalls
**[07:51] ---**
    was nowhere near the scale
    of the Hidden Leaf or Sand,
**[07:55] ---**
    but we were feared
**[07:56] ---**
    as a shinobi village that produced
    skilled jonin, one after another.
**[08:01] ---**
    That's why although we are
    not part of the Five Great Nations,
**[08:04] ---**
    we are allotted a Tailed Beast.
**[08:07] ---**
    The Chunin Exam is the ideal opportunity
    to make a name for us
**[08:10] ---**
    and impress the Feudal Lords
    who hire Hidden Villages,
**[08:12] ---**
    and other shinobi leaders as well.
**[08:15] ---**
    It's our chance to restore
    our past glory.
**[08:19] ---**
    As long as you're going
    to participate,
**[08:21] ---**
    go out and fight to make
    the Hidden Waterfall known.
**[08:25] ---**
    All right! Got it!
**[08:27] ---**
    I'll rile up a storm!
**[08:29] ---**
    However!
**[08:30] ---**
    Don't let anyone find out…
**[08:32] ---**
    …that you are a Jinchuriki…
**[08:34] ---**
    Okay!
**[08:39] ---**
    Kegon, Yoro…
**[08:41] ---**
    Hide your jonin status
    and guard Fuu.
**[08:42] ---**
    Right!
**[08:43] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[08:47] ---**
    He's beyond my control now.
**[08:51] ---**
    Does this mean…
**[08:53] ---**
    the Hidden Waterfalls will
    send one team of three?
**[08:58] ---**
    It's almost terrifying
    in its brevity,
**[09:02] ---**
    but it is an official application.
**[09:04] ---**
    Let's close
    the application period soon!
**[09:08] ---**
    Oh!
**[09:08] ---**
    What is it?
**[09:09] ---**
    W-We forgot to solicit
    Hidden Leaf entrants!
**[09:14] ---**
    What?!
**[09:22] ---**
    Are you actually going
    to supervise?
**[09:25] ---**
    Yes. I'll oversee the finals
    of the second round.
**[09:30] ---**
    It's so that no fatalities
    occur during the test.
**[09:32] ---**
    What will you achieve
    by smoking out the rebels?
**[09:35] ---**
    It's not like that…
**[09:36] ---**
    Then what?
**[09:38] ---**
    Why would you go so far
    as to face danger head on?
**[09:42] ---**
    My feelings haven't changed
    from that time.
**[09:46] ---**
    Don't tell me…
    you want to bond with the rebels?
**[09:50] ---**
    That's impossible!
**[09:52] ---**
    Even if you're up to it,
    they won't listen!
**[09:56] ---**
    He is…
**[09:57] ---**
    Naruto is working hard,
    to forge bonds with others…
**[10:03] ---**
    So I won't give up either
    until the day comes
**[10:05] ---**
    when I can share suffering,
    sadness, and happiness with others.
**[10:10] ---**
    I consider this my first test,
**[10:12] ---**
    as the Kazekage of
    the Hidden Sand.
**[10:16] ---**
    *Once he makes up his mind,*
    *he won't listen… Damn it!*
**[10:22] ---**
    The Hidden Sand will send
    the same as last time…
**[10:25] ---**
    Nine teams, 27 shinobi.
**[10:27] ---**
    The Hidden Rain will have fifteen.
**[10:29] ---**
    And Hidden Grass is sending six.
**[10:32] ---**
    The Hidden Waterfall sent word
**[10:34] ---**
    that they are also sending
    a team of three.
**[10:38] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud and
    Land of Water sent polite regrets,
**[10:43] ---**
    but our invitation was sent back
    by the Land of Earth.
**[10:47] ---**
    As the host village,
**[10:49] ---**
    we'll have to enter the same number
    as the last exams.
**[10:55] ---**
    I want all of you to list
    the genin under you
**[10:58] ---**
    and turn in your recommendations.
**[11:22] ---**
    Are you stupid?
**[11:23] ---**
    That's barely cooked.
**[11:26] ---**
    Meat tastes best when
    there's still some red left.
**[11:31] ---**
    Hey, Asuma Sensei…
**[11:33] ---**
    So what's going to happen
    to our team
**[11:36] ---**
    in the upcoming Chunin Exams?
**[11:38] ---**
    Considering your skills now,
    it's only natural I recommend you.
**[11:44] ---**
    But Shikamaru is already
    a chunin, so he can't enter.
**[11:49] ---**
    So we're one member short.
**[11:53] ---**
    Currently, Team Asuma is
    captained by Shikamaru.
**[11:58] ---**
    If I'm to find a replacement…
**[12:01] ---**
    It's going to be difficult
**[12:02] ---**
    to be a stand-in for only
    the Chunin Exams.
**[12:05] ---**
    Umm… I have someone in mind.
**[12:11] ---**
    Someone who rivals Shikamaru
    in intelligence?
**[12:17] ---**
    CIPHER CORPS
**[12:27] ---**
    Is there anyone like that?
**[12:29] ---**
    She's probably not
    as smart as Shikamaru,
**[12:31] ---**
    but she may just
    be tougher than him.
**[12:41] ---**
    You'll be fine now.
**[12:52] ---**
    Me? Join Team Asuma?
**[12:55] ---**
    Both Sasuke and Naruto
    are missing from Team 7, right?
**[12:59] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[13:02] ---**
    So you need to
    join a three-man team
**[13:04] ---**
    in order to take
    the Chunin Exams, right?!
**[13:07] ---**
    Yeah…
**[13:09] ---**
    So you'll join, right?
**[13:12] ---**
    But…
**[13:14] ---**
    I know your strength
    better than anyone.
**[13:19] ---**
    At the last Chunin Exams…
**[13:21] ---**
    I got a good taste of your power.
**[13:28] ---**
    Still…I can't.
    Please find someone else.
**[13:32] ---**
    Why?!
**[13:34] ---**
    We know that you've trained hard
    under Lady Tsunade for two years.
**[13:39] ---**
    You've grown so much.
**[13:44] ---**
    If you're just going to wait
    for Naruto and Sasuke…
**[13:48] ---**
    If you do that,
**[13:49] ---**
    you'll never be able to grab
    opportunities that come around!
**[13:52] ---**
    It's not that…
**[13:54] ---**
    If you add me onto your team now,
    I'll probably be a nuisance.
**[13:58] ---**
    That's not true! Please!
**[14:14] ---**
    *Cha!*
**[14:22] ---**
    *Your movements are getting better!*
**[14:25] ---**
    *By the way, do you remember*
    *the first thing I taught you?*
**[14:29] ---**
    *Of course.*
**[14:30] ---**
    *Medic Ninja must never*
    *get themselves killed.*
**[14:33] ---**
    *Thus they must never force*
    *their way forward.*
**[14:36] ---**
    *That is true…*
**[14:38] ---**
    *However, that does not mean*
    *that you don't have*
**[14:40] ---**
    *to learn jutsu necessary*
    *to fight on the frontline.*
**[14:44] ---**
    *And…*
**[14:46] ---**
    *What I'm teaching you now…*
**[14:48] ---**
    *Keep it buried in your heart*
    *and train. Understood?*
**[14:53] ---**
    *Yes!*
**[15:07] ---**
    *While I'm training,*
    *I'll only be a burden to others.*
**[15:13] ---**
    *But…*
**[15:22] ---**
    How did it go?
    What did Sakura say?
**[15:27] ---**
    She turned us down.
**[15:29] ---**
    Aww… We're short one,
    and she's short two.
**[15:34] ---**
    I thought it would
    have been perfect!
**[15:37] ---**
    What did Sakura say?
**[15:39] ---**
    She doesn't want to
    be a burden on us.
**[15:45] ---**
    What a lame excuse.
**[15:48] ---**
    But… I haven't given up yet!
**[16:15] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[16:18] ---**
    Oh…sorry.
**[16:21] ---**
    Please…
**[16:22] ---**
    Thank you!
**[16:30] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[16:31] ---**
    May I ask you to take a look
    at these and put your seal on it?
**[16:34] ---**
    Shizune, do you want to kill me?!
**[16:38] ---**
    It's been a while since
    we had the Chunin Exams
**[16:41] ---**
    and nothing moves forward
    without your seal of approval.
**[16:46] ---**
    Damn it…
    I didn't expect all this work.
**[16:50] ---**
    Oh, Sakura was here.
**[16:53] ---**
    What?
**[16:53] ---**
    If she needed something,
    why didn't she just come in?
**[17:07] ---**
    *What would Naruto do…*
    *if he were in my place?*
**[17:14] ---**
    I'm going to attack you now…
**[17:16] ---**
    and it'll be for real.
**[17:19] ---**
    Come at me seriously,
    as if I'm your enemy.
**[17:26] ---**
    Got it!
**[17:35] ---**
    LEAF HOSPITAL
**[17:46] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[17:48] ---**
    Sakura!
**[17:49] ---**
    He got caught under
    a landslide during a mission.
**[17:53] ---**
    His condition is grave.
**[17:57] ---**
    He needs emergency surgery
    right away.
**[17:59] ---**
    Take him to the ICU immediately!
**[18:01] ---**
    Right!
**[18:02] ---**
    ICU
**[18:08] ---**
    I'm beginning treatment.
**[18:15] ---**
    *I can't keep running behind*
    *Naruto and Sasuke forever.*
**[18:19] ---**
    *I have to surpass my limits*
    *on my own.*
**[18:46] ---**
    *It's no good.*
    *I don't have enough chakra!*
**[18:49] ---**
    *I need to concentrate*
    *more chakra for the surgery…*
**[19:02] ---**
    *More…more chakra!*
**[19:05] ---**
    What? Sakura is?!
**[19:07] ---**
    Yes. We just got word
    from Leaf Hospital…
**[19:11] ---**
    This is not good.
**[19:12] ---**
    What?
**[19:13] ---**
    But Sakura is skilled enough
    to do a surgery like this…
**[19:19] ---**
    If this was our usual Sakura…
**[19:21] ---**
    We have to go.
**[19:43] ---**
    ICU
**[19:50] ---**
    Sakura!
**[19:57] ---**
    The Jutsu Ritual using chakra
    was completed without incident.
**[20:01] ---**
    The surgery was a success.
**[20:03] ---**
    Leave it to your student.
    She did an outstanding job.
**[20:07] ---**
    I see.
**[20:10] ---**
    *You are truly a disciple of Tsunade,*
    *one of the Legendary Sannin.*
**[20:15] ---**
    *At this point,*
    *you should be capable*
**[20:17] ---**
    *of overcoming any hardship*
    *that comes your way.*
**[20:21] ---**
    Okay, with the team of
    Ino, Choji and Sakura…
**[20:24] ---**
    our participant list is complete.
**[20:27] ---**
    It's not as many as the 29 teams
    we had the last time…
**[20:30] ---**
    But it's a decent list of participants.
**[20:32] ---**
    Yes.
**[20:34] ---**
    The time has finally come.
**[22:37] ---**
    The Chunin Exam!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    It's been a while
    since they last held them!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    It's been two years.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I see, so this means
    Big Brother Naruto's coming back!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Huh? Naruto?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    He's coming back to
    take the Chunin Exam, right?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    He's not coming.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    What?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Who knows where or how
    he's training right now.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    His whereabouts are still unknown…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    ​In Naruto's Fuutsteps ~ The Path Traveled
    "The Three Questions"
    
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Does this mean they're going to proceed
    without including Big Brother Naruto?
    
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    ​In Naruto's Fuutsteps ~ The Path Traveled

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Three Questions*
    
    
    
**[01:40] ---**
    Big Brother Shikamaru,
    what's going on?
**[01:43] ---**
    Hmm?
**[01:44] ---**
    The first round of the Chunin Exams
    will be held here,
**[01:47] ---**
    so we're just making
    a few upgrades.
**[01:49] ---**
    The Chunin Exams!
**[01:51] ---**
    It's been a while
    since they last held them!
**[01:54] ---**
    It's been two years…
**[01:56] ---**
    That means we get to participate!
**[01:58] ---**
    We can be chunin!
**[02:01] ---**
    You guys are
    still Academy students.
**[02:04] ---**
    You're not even genin,
    you can't participate.
**[02:08] ---**
    That's kind of a disappointment,
    but also a big relief…
**[02:12] ---**
    I see, so this means
    Big Brother Naruto's coming back!
**[02:16] ---**
    Huh? Naruto?
**[02:17] ---**
    He's coming back to take
    the Chunin Exams, right?
**[02:20] ---**
    He's not coming.
**[02:21] ---**
    What?
**[02:25] ---**
    Who knows where or how
    he's training right now.
**[02:27] ---**
    His whereabouts are still unknown.
**[02:30] ---**
    I don't know if he even
    got the news
**[02:31] ---**
    that we're holding
    the Chunin Exams.
**[02:35] ---**
    Does this mean
    they're going to proceed
**[02:36] ---**
    without Big Brother Naruto?
**[02:38] ---**
    It's not like the village can plan
    things to fit his schedule.
**[02:45] ---**
    Big Bro's going to be left behind.
**[02:48] ---**
    Our leader's going to
    get disqualified!
**[03:07] ---**
    We're representing the Hidden Sand,
    so we have to become chunin, okay?
**[03:11] ---**
    It's too soon to get
    all worked up.
**[03:14] ---**
    Calm down, Yukata.
**[03:22] ---**
    Seems like Shikamaru
    will be a proctor.
**[03:26] ---**
    That's not surprising.
**[03:28] ---**
    It's because he's already a chunin.
**[03:31] ---**
    Then let's buckle down and
    get promoted to chunin too! Right?
**[03:43] ---**
    Looking forward to
    doing this with you!
**[03:44] ---**
    - Let's kick some butt.
    - Yeah!
**[03:47] ---**
    All right, so the three of you
    are taking the exams, correct?
**[03:50] ---**
    You've been signed up.
**[03:52] ---**
    There's no trick this time,
**[03:53] ---**
    like preventing us from submitting
    an application is there?
**[03:56] ---**
    The exam is up to
    the proctor in charge.
**[04:00] ---**
    Okay, pull lots.
**[04:08] ---**
    Three?
**[04:09] ---**
    Two?
**[04:11] ---**
    One?
**[04:12] ---**
    Return the lots and please proceed
    to the classroom that you picked.
**[04:17] ---**
    They're so polite,
    it's almost creepy.
**[04:20] ---**
    Did Shikamaru plan this?
**[04:22] ---**
    What is he thinking?
**[04:24] ---**
    Next, please.
**[04:32] ---**
    You're the entrants from
    Hidden Waterfall Village.
**[04:35] ---**
    The name's Fuu.
**[04:36] ---**
    All right, please pull a lot.
**[04:40] ---**
    We've waited so long for this,
**[04:42] ---**
    so we have to make it
    and become chunin!
**[04:46] ---**
    You're so loud!
**[04:49] ---**
    Is this where the Chunin Exams
    are being held?!
**[04:55] ---**
    Hey! I'm back.
**[04:58] ---**
    Naruto!
**[05:02] ---**
    No way…
    Is that you, Naruto?!
**[05:04] ---**
    Are you real?
**[05:06] ---**
    I'm real!
**[05:07] ---**
    You really haven't changed much.
**[05:11] ---**
    Sure, I have! Want to see
    the results of all my training?
**[05:21] ---**
    Sexy Jutsu!
**[05:23] ---**
    How's that?
**[05:25] ---**
    Here! There!
**[05:27] ---**
    He's as stupid as ever…
**[05:29] ---**
    And that's why Naruto is Naruto.
**[05:32] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[05:36] ---**
    All right, I'm going to take part
    in the Exams too.
**[05:40] ---**
    But you need a team of three.
**[05:42] ---**
    I just came home and
    there's no one left,
**[05:45] ---**
    so I'll just ask them to
    make an exception.
**[05:49] ---**
    Huh?!
**[05:53] ---**
    What's the big idea?
**[05:55] ---**
    Don't get mad at Konohamaru!
**[05:58] ---**
    Are you all right, Konohamaru?
**[06:01] ---**
    It's all for Big Brother Naruto.
**[06:04] ---**
    Naruto?
**[06:06] ---**
    Because Big Brother
    can't take the exams.
**[06:10] ---**
    It's because he won't be able
    to be a chunin.
**[06:13] ---**
    So you tried to take it
    for him instead…
**[06:15] ---**
    A stand-in test taker…
**[06:19] ---**
    You don't need to worry
    about him.
**[06:23] ---**
    Naruto's is someone who'll
    keep striving to become Hokage
**[06:25] ---**
    without getting hung up on
    the details like becoming a chunin.
**[06:28] ---**
    He's right.
**[06:30] ---**
    And when he returns,
    we'll welcome him with a big smile.
**[06:36] ---**
    I got it.
**[06:40] ---**
    Next in line.
**[06:46] ---**
    One.
**[06:47] ---**
    Three…
**[06:48] ---**
    Two…
**[06:50] ---**
    Okay, leave the lots and
    go to your assigned rooms.
**[06:53] ---**
    Room One is
    the classroom up ahead.
**[06:56] ---**
    Rooms Two and Three
    are up the stairs.
**[06:59] ---**
    Huh? We're being separated?
**[07:00] ---**
    We're on our own?
**[07:03] ---**
    I'm in Room One.
**[07:17] ---**
    Oh!
**[07:18] ---**
    Big Brother Neji!
**[07:26] ---**
    Why were we separated
    from our teams?
**[07:28] ---**
    I have no idea.
**[07:36] ---**
    Huh?
**[07:42] ---**
    It won't open.
**[07:43] ---**
    I wonder what's happening?
**[07:45] ---**
    Isn't the proctor coming?
**[07:47] ---**
    They're planning something…
**[07:49] ---**
    Heh, bring it on!
**[07:52] ---**
    There's a stack of papers here.
**[07:53] ---**
    You shouldn't go around
    carelessly touching things…
**[07:56] ---**
    *Uh…Ahem!*
**[08:00] ---**
    *I am Shikamaru Nara,*
**[08:02] ---**
    *the proctor for the first round*
    *of the Chunin Exams.*
**[08:05] ---**
    *Participants, take one sheet from*
    *the stack on the teacher's desk,*
**[08:08] ---**
    *then take any seat.*
**[08:11] ---**
    Round One is a written test,
    after all.
**[08:15] ---**
    Oh good, it's the same as usual.
**[08:31] ---**
    *Is everyone seated?*
**[08:34] ---**
    *This is a drag,*
    *so let's get right to it.*
**[08:37] ---**
    *This is a drag for him?*
**[08:38] ---**
    *We're serious about this!*
**[08:40] ---**
    You guys are lucky.
    I'm in charge this year.
**[08:44] ---**
    He might be right.
**[08:46] ---**
    Why?
**[08:47] ---**
    He won't do anything unreasonable.
**[08:51] ---**
    *Round One is a written test.*
**[08:53] ---**
    *Read the questions carefully.*
**[08:55] ---**
    Three questions…
**[08:57] ---**
    *The three questions are worth,*
    *from the top:*
**[09:01] ---**
    *30 points, 40 points,*
    *and 50 points.*
**[09:04] ---**
    A perfect score is 120 points?
**[09:07] ---**
    Not 100?
**[09:08] ---**
    *Each of you will answer*
    *just one of three questions.*
**[09:13] ---**
    *Your team's total points*
    *will determine pass-fail.*
**[09:16] ---**
    *If your team total exceeds 100,*
    *the team is disqualified.*
**[09:21] ---**
    That's crazy!
**[09:23] ---**
    Then, for example…
**[09:26] ---**
    If the three have…
    30, 30, 50 for 110 points…
**[09:30] ---**
    30, 40, 40 for 110 points…
**[09:33] ---**
    or 40, 40, 40 for 120 points…
**[09:36] ---**
    *These totals will*
    *disqualify them, right?*
**[09:39] ---**
    Then we'll take the average
    of the teams who remain…
**[09:41] ---**
    and teams who score below
    the average will be disqualified.
**[09:45] ---**
    *Those over the average will pass.*
**[09:48] ---**
    An average score?
**[09:50] ---**
    Of the teams' totals…?
**[09:53] ---**
    Just a minute.
**[09:54] ---**
    How are we supposed to…?!
**[09:55] ---**
    *The exam starts now.*
**[10:02] ---**
    Which question should I solve?
**[10:13] ---**
    I don't understand
    this question at all!
**[10:17] ---**
    The question isn't just about
    solving the questions…
**[10:22] ---**
    Please don't say things that
    will confuse me even more!
**[10:25] ---**
    *The three questions aren't that hard.*
**[10:29] ---**
    *Unless you're really dumb,*
**[10:31] ---**
    *anyone can solve*
    *the 50-point question too.
**[10:33] ---**
    *Don't underestimate me!*
**[10:35] ---**
    *I won't run! I'll take the exam!*
**[10:37] ---**
    *I don't care if I get stuck as*
    *a genin for the rest of my life,*
**[10:39] ---**
    *because I'll be Hokage someday,*
    *no matter what!*
**[10:45] ---**
    *Come to think of it…*
**[10:47] ---**
    *there was a guy*
    *who was really that dumb…*
**[10:49] ---**
    *He couldn't solve a single question*
    *in the first-round exam,*
**[10:51] ---**
    *but he passed.*
**[10:54] ---**
    *Which means…*
**[10:55] ---**
    *They're not testing*
    *our problem-solving skills.*
**[10:57] ---**
    *It's the same as the last time!*
**[11:04] ---**
    *Now then…*
**[11:05] ---**
    *100 points is either…*
    *30, 30 and 40…*
**[11:10] ---**
    *Or 50, 50 and 0.*
**[11:15] ---**
    What's the whole point
    of this first-round exam?
**[11:18] ---**
    The point of it is to think about
**[11:20] ---**
    how your other two
    team members will score.
**[11:23] ---**
    Or rather, how to make your two
    team members get a certain score.
**[11:27] ---**
    That gives an advantage to teams
    who know jutsu to contact each other.
**[11:35] ---**
    If that's the case, that's fine.
**[11:38] ---**
    All it means is that those teams
    that have those skills will get 100 points.
**[11:43] ---**
    And the rest have to suck it up
    and figure something out, huh?
**[11:47] ---**
    The first-round test in
    the last Chunin Exams
**[11:49] ---**
    was just like this, wasn't it?
**[11:52] ---**
    The point count isn't what's important.
**[11:54] ---**
    The Chunin Exams shine
    the light on who is captain material.
**[11:58] ---**
    If the point was to test strength,
    I wouldn't be a chunin.
**[12:02] ---**
    I guess so.
**[12:04] ---**
    What? No snide comeback?
**[12:33] ---**
    *It's been sealed off.*
**[12:37] ---**
    Big Brother Neji?
**[12:49] ---**
    Double paned windows, huh…
**[12:51] ---**
    They made sure that
    we couldn't contact our teammates.
**[12:53] ---**
    Should you be moving around like that?
**[12:56] ---**
    We were told a few rules,
    but no one's cautioned us yet
**[13:01] ---**
    NO UNAUTHORIZED FIGHTING
    
    
    for talking like this.
**[13:02] ---**
    I see…
**[13:06] ---**
    So, they don't care if
    we cheat or not.
**[13:09] ---**
    That's right…
**[13:10] ---**
    Last time, the first exam
    was all about cheating.
**[13:19] ---**
    It won't open…
**[13:21] ---**
    Leave it to Shikamaru…
    This is a difficult problem.
**[13:24] ---**
    If you can contact your teammates,
    you gain an advantage for this exam…
**[13:31] ---**
    But nobody on my team
    uses such ninjutsu.
**[13:34] ---**
    I wonder if Shino has any ideas…
**[13:38] ---**
    The only thing left is to try to guess
    which question my teammate will solve.
**[13:43] ---**
    If we choose the number
    we each picked…
**[13:45] ---**
    the point total will be over 100.
**[13:49] ---**
    Going over 100 points
    means immediate disqualification.
**[13:51] ---**
    We have to avoid that at all cost.
**[13:55] ---**
    If one of us scores zero points,
    we'll avoid going over 100, right?
**[14:00] ---**
    But there's no guarantee
**[14:01] ---**
    that the other two will each answer
    the 50-point question.
**[14:05] ---**
    And if the point total is too low,
**[14:07] ---**
    there's a good possibility of
    being dropped for a low average.
**[14:12] ---**
    If all of us solve the 30-point question
    and get 90 points,
**[14:16] ---**
    we'll lose to the team
    that has 100.
**[14:20] ---**
    If many teams score 100 points,
**[14:23] ---**
    and raise the average score,
    teams with 90 points will be disqualified.
**[14:32] ---**
    I guess finding
    a loophole seems impossible.
**[14:36] ---**
    The choices are 30, 30, 40
    or 0, 50, 50 to score 100 points.
**[14:42] ---**
    So the question is…
**[14:44] ---**
    figuring out which question
    each team member will solve.
**[14:47] ---**
    How should I know what
    questions Ino and Sakura will pick?
**[14:52] ---**
    What would Shino and Kiba do?
**[14:56] ---**
    Those two are probably wondering
    the same thing right now.
**[15:00] ---**
    Got it! I finally figured it out!
**[15:03] ---**
    Huh? You did?
**[15:05] ---**
    Yes!
**[15:06] ---**
    I solved the 50-point question!
**[15:09] ---**
    Oh…I see.
**[15:11] ---**
    I'm not going to show you.
**[15:12] ---**
    I won't look.
**[15:13] ---**
    I don't have to look.
**[15:34] ---**
    *Who are you?*
**[15:36] ---**
    *You don't seem to be*
    *an Insect User, but…*
**[15:40] ---**
    I hate to say this,
    but if Naruto were here,
**[15:42] ---**
    this first-round exam
    would be easy.
**[15:45] ---**
    Huh? Why?
**[15:47] ---**
    I mean, he'd score zero for sure.
**[15:51] ---**
    I think even Naruto could
    solve this 30-point question.
**[15:55] ---**
    Definitely not.
**[15:57] ---**
    Leave it to Naruto…
**[15:59] ---**
    It would be much simpler if Lee
    on our team was as obviously dumb.
**[16:04] ---**
    Umm… Excuse me.
**[16:06] ---**
    Yes?
**[16:08] ---**
    Can you tell me just what
    we're supposed to do
**[16:10] ---**
    for this first-round exam?
**[16:12] ---**
    That's what we're trying
    to figure out!
**[16:15] ---**
    You too, huh?
**[16:16] ---**
    These questions are
    really hard, aren't they?
**[16:20] ---**
    Well…yeah.
**[16:27] ---**
    Wouldn't you think
    the safest thing to do
**[16:29] ---**
    is for each of us to choose
    the 30-point question?
**[16:32] ---**
    Didn't he say something
    about the average score too?
**[16:36] ---**
    I see… We have to score 100 points,
    no matter what.
**[16:40] ---**
    I can't even figure out
    how to get 100 points.
**[16:46] ---**
    And time keeps on ticking away…
**[16:54] ---**
    *I've trained hard… I'll try it.*
**[16:59] ---**
    *First, I have to sense those two.*
**[17:15] ---**
    *Hey, you two, please listen…*
**[17:20] ---**
    *Is that you, Fuu?*
**[17:23] ---**
    *All right.*
**[17:29] ---**
    What're you up to?
**[17:32] ---**
    *My teammates…*
**[17:40] ---**
    *Sensory Jutsu!*
**[17:44] ---**
    *Four…? I see…*
**[17:52] ---**
    I don't get it.
**[17:53] ---**
    *Choji…*
**[17:54] ---**
    Huh?!
**[17:56] ---**
    *I'll solve the 40-point question,*
    *so Choji, you do the 30-pointer.*
**[18:00] ---**
    Oh, okay. Okay!
**[18:03] ---**
    *I'll get Sakura to do the 30-pointer too.*
**[18:08] ---**
    Hey, Gennai! Inaho!
**[18:10] ---**
    Can you hear me?!
**[18:13] ---**
    Tanzo, Minoji!
**[18:15] ---**
    It's me!
**[18:16] ---**
    – It's me!
    – Hey! It's me!
**[18:18] ---**
    – What are you trying to do?
    – Can you hear me?
**[18:20] ---**
    At this rate,
    no one's voice will be heard.
**[18:28] ---**
    Do you hear something?
**[18:30] ---**
    Is someone yelling?
**[18:33] ---**
    That's right!
**[18:34] ---**
    If they can hear me
    on the other side…!
**[18:36] ---**
    Hey!
**[18:38] ---**
    Can you hear me?!
**[18:46] ---**
    I can hear something.
**[18:47] ---**
    Someone's yelling.
**[18:49] ---**
    A lot of people are yelling.
**[18:51] ---**
    I see.
**[18:52] ---**
    Hey!
**[18:54] ---**
    Komugi, Gennai!
**[18:58] ---**
    Yahoo!
**[18:59] ---**
    Yahoo!
**[19:08] ---**
    Shouldn't we stop them?!
**[19:10] ---**
    If I stop them,
    this exam would be meaningless.
**[19:16] ---**
    *Now then,*
    *who's doing to do what?*
**[19:19] ---**
    I'll do the 50-point question!
**[19:21] ---**
    I'll do the 40-point one!
**[19:23] ---**
    It's so noisy.
**[19:25] ---**
    Who can hear over all this?
**[19:28] ---**
    There's shouting in
    the other classes too.
**[19:31] ---**
    Everyone's voices are
    blending together
**[19:33] ---**
    and nothing can
    be communicated.
**[19:36] ---**
    *Nothing can be communicated, huh?*
**[19:39] ---**
    *Just watch…*
**[19:41] ---**
    *Sand Letters!*
**[19:50] ---**
    *"I'll do the 40-point question."*
**[19:54] ---**
    *It's Sajin!*
**[19:56] ---**
    *He wants us to do the 30-pointer.*
**[20:00] ---**
    *With that we'll total 100 points.*
**[20:03] ---**
    *Those fools…*
**[20:06] ---**
    Lady Hinata…
**[20:09] ---**
    Let's continue your lesson here.
**[20:11] ---**
    What are you saying,
    Big Brother Neji?
**[20:14] ---**
    There's something I want to try.
**[20:18] ---**
    All right.
**[20:23] ---**
    Perform the Eight Trigrams:
    Air Palm…
**[20:26] ---**
    with all your might.
**[20:34] ---**
    – Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!
    – Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!
**[20:39] ---**
    W-What the—?!
**[20:51] ---**
    Hey…
**[20:53] ---**
    You guys…
**[20:54] ---**
    What the hell are you guys doing?!
**[20:59] ---**
    Showing you the answer
    to the question.
**[22:39] ---**
    What's the answer
    that you prepared?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    This question wouldn't exist
    if I wasn't the proctor.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    That's why there is no point
    in me answering that question.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    What are you quibbling about?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "One Worthy As A Leader"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    All right,
    Let's see what Neji's going to do.
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    In Naruto's Footsteps ~ The Path Traveled
    ONE WORTHY AS A LEADER
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *One Worthy as a Leader*
    
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    Any idiot can solve
    a question like this.
**[01:41] ---**
    – Huh?
    – Yeah, he's right.
**[01:45] ---**
    So what question
    are you going to solve?
**[01:48] ---**
    Why should I tell you?
**[01:50] ---**
    Everyone is in a dilemma
    because they don't know…
**[01:53] ---**
    *which one to solve.*
**[01:56] ---**
    *It's because they don't know*
**[01:58] ---**
    *which ones their teammates*
    *will choose.*
**[02:00] ---**
    Neji is planning something.
**[02:03] ---**
    But why would he tell the others
    what he plans to do?
**[02:09] ---**
    The method he plans
    to use probably necessitates it.
**[02:14] ---**
    Do you know?
**[02:16] ---**
    I don't know about
    my teammates either.
**[02:19] ---**
    What is that supposed to mean?
**[02:21] ---**
    But if there's a way to let them know
    how many points I'll get,
**[02:25] ---**
    I can solve the question.
**[02:28] ---**
    That's if you can let them know.
**[02:29] ---**
    I'll communicate the number
    to the next room with vibration.
**[02:34] ---**
    I'll send four vibrations
    through the wall.
**[02:36] ---**
    I'll relay the information without
    leaving the room or destroying it.
**[02:40] ---**
    But will just hitting the wall
    get your message across?
**[02:47] ---**
    How would you interpret
    four bangs on the wall?
**[02:49] ---**
    If I should hear four signals…?
**[02:56] ---**
    That wouldn't mean the other person
    and I should score 40 points.
**[03:01] ---**
    If two takes 40 each,
    that's 80 points.
**[03:04] ---**
    Then if the one
    who signaled takes 50,
**[03:06] ---**
    40, 30, 0 points…
**[03:11] ---**
    None of the combinations
    totals 100.
**[03:16] ---**
    So it can be interpreted that the one
    who signaled will take the 40-pointer.
**[03:22] ---**
    And the other two
    can take the 30-pointers.
**[03:28] ---**
    – I see.
    – That makes sense.
**[03:30] ---**
    I wonder if Gennai and Inaho
    will think the same way.
**[03:33] ---**
    I hope Minoji and Tanzo
    are okay.
**[03:36] ---**
    Each village selected three genin
**[03:39] ---**
    to make up their teams
    for the Chunin Exams.
**[03:42] ---**
    Everyone just has
    to trust their teammates.
**[03:46] ---**
    But why would you teach this
    to all of us?
**[03:50] ---**
    If I suddenly pounded
    on the wall four times,
**[03:52] ---**
    what would you think?
**[03:54] ---**
    Well… Naturally, I'd get suspicious.
**[03:57] ---**
    You would, right?
**[03:59] ---**
    And I didn't want you guys
    to do something and interfere.
**[04:03] ---**
    I figured I'd come clean
    and let everyone in on this,
**[04:07] ---**
    and we can all pass
    this stupid paper test.
**[04:11] ---**
    All of us?!
**[04:13] ---**
    So that's his plan.
**[04:14] ---**
    Everybody passes…
    He really got you there, Mr. Proctor.
**[04:18] ---**
    Well, I've gotten a good look
    at his leadership skills.
**[04:26] ---**
    *All of us?*
**[04:29] ---**
    I see… You're right.
**[04:32] ---**
    But how about letting me pass on
    the info to the other classes?
**[04:38] ---**
    Sure, but why?
**[04:40] ---**
    I can't let the Hidden Leaf
    do all the work.
**[04:43] ---**
    I'll take the blame if
    the classroom is damaged.
**[04:45] ---**
    I just have to send vibrations, right?
**[04:47] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:54] ---**
    One!
**[04:57] ---**
    Two! Three!
**[05:01] ---**
    Four!
**[05:10] ---**
    Hey, that was five!
**[05:12] ---**
    What're you doing?
**[05:14] ---**
    Everyone passes?
**[05:16] ---**
    You've got to be kidding.
**[05:19] ---**
    What's the sense of having a test
    unless someone's eliminated?!
**[05:22] ---**
    W-Why you…!
**[05:24] ---**
    – What a jerk!
    – What's going on?
**[05:28] ---**
    It's too late now.
**[05:29] ---**
    If you send four vibrations again,
**[05:31] ---**
    you'll only add
    to the confusion.
**[05:33] ---**
    It doesn't matter
    if it's five times.
**[05:35] ---**
    What?
**[05:36] ---**
    Three times is fine too.
**[05:38] ---**
    As long as I get
    the message out, any one will do.
**[05:41] ---**
    Any one? Three, four, or five…
    They're all the same?
**[05:46] ---**
    Yes. Well, it's slightly different.
**[05:50] ---**
    The question I pick will change.
**[05:53] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:59] ---**
    I see…
**[06:04] ---**
    That was a signal of some sort.
**[06:06] ---**
    It's definitely more efficient
    than yelling something out.
**[06:10] ---**
    But why five times?
**[06:12] ---**
    Five times must mean
    the 50-point question.
**[06:15] ---**
    So what are we supposed to do?
**[06:18] ---**
    I get it…
**[06:20] ---**
    To get 100 points using
    a 50-point question,
**[06:23] ---**
    two members need
    to solve the 50-pointer
**[06:25] ---**
    and the third member
    needs a zero.
**[06:27] ---**
    Whoever signaled
    won't solve the 50-pointer.
**[06:31] ---**
    That's what the message
    is telling us exactly that.
**[06:35] ---**
    What does that mean?
**[06:36] ---**
    I'm saying the remaining two
    would have to select
**[06:38] ---**
    the 50-point or 0-point question,
**[06:40] ---**
    with no way of knowing
    which to choose.
**[06:42] ---**
    So he's signaling both teammates
    to both solve the 50-point question.
**[06:46] ---**
    So whoever signaled
    will get zero points?
**[06:50] ---**
    Exactly, hoping that each teammate
    will think about the other
**[06:54] ---**
    and figure it out.
**[06:56] ---**
    So who sent the message?
**[06:59] ---**
    I don't know,
**[07:01] ---**
    but whoever sent it got everyone
    in that classroom to agree.
**[07:05] ---**
    Otherwise, it would've been impossible.
**[07:08] ---**
    So, everyone in that classroom
    that signaled will take zero points.
**[07:13] ---**
    It's because this message
    is signaling
**[07:15] ---**
    the remaining two members
    to choose the 50-point question.
**[07:20] ---**
    So that's what it means.
**[07:22] ---**
    Still, opting to get zero points
    is pretty gutsy.
**[07:25] ---**
    Even with three times,
**[07:26] ---**
    my intention
    would have been communicated.
**[07:29] ---**
    In that case,
    I'd take the 40-pointer.
**[07:34] ---**
    How can you tell?
**[07:36] ---**
    If the grouping is 30, 30,
    and 40 for 100 points,
**[07:41] ---**
    whoever sent the signal
    won't take 30.
**[07:44] ---**
    Because that'll leave
    the remaining two
**[07:46] ---**
    to decide between 30 and 40 points,
    and that won't work.
**[07:49] ---**
    So whoever signals takes
    the 40-pointer,
**[07:52] ---**
    leaving the 30-pointer
    to his two teammates.
**[07:55] ---**
    Damn you.
    Why didn't you explain that earlier?
**[08:00] ---**
    I made it clear, didn't I?
    That I didn't want any interference.
**[08:04] ---**
    I was concerned that jutsu users
**[08:05] ---**
    who can communicate silently
    with their teammates
**[08:07] ---**
    would foil my plan for everyone
    to pass this round.
**[08:12] ---**
    You can, right?
**[08:23] ---**
    No one will get in my way.
**[08:33] ---**
    Well, you're not getting in my way!
**[08:39] ---**
    NO UNAUTHORIZED FIGHTING
**[08:41] ---**
    Proctor, are you going
    to allow fighting?!
**[08:45] ---**
    If you don't reply,
    I'll assume you are.
**[08:49] ---**
    You want to fight?
**[08:50] ---**
    Mr. Proctor, give us permission!
**[08:55] ---**
    *I made it clear that Round One*
    *is a written exam.*
**[08:57] ---**
    *Fighting is prohibited!*
**[08:59] ---**
    *Stop that racket and answer*
    *the question before the time's up!*
**[09:02] ---**
    You heard him.
**[09:07] ---**
    That Neji…
    He even forced a hint out of me.
**[09:11] ---**
    In that warning you just issued?
**[09:13] ---**
    Until now, there was a possibility
    that the others would think
**[09:19] ---**
    I was the one who
    pounded five times.
**[09:23] ---**
    I warned them to keep quiet just now,
    thus raising the possibility
**[09:27] ---**
    that it was someone in
    a classroom who made those sounds.
**[09:29] ---**
    And in truth, it was.
**[09:31] ---**
    So every team will score 100 points?
**[09:34] ---**
    No, not necessarily.
**[09:54] ---**
    If they rationalize it calmly,
    they'd agree with Neji…
**[09:59] ---**
    But just how calm can they remain?
**[10:01] ---**
    How much faith they have
    in their teammates
**[10:04] ---**
    is another problem all together.
**[10:06] ---**
    What's the answer
    that you prepared?
**[10:09] ---**
    You're asking me?
**[10:10] ---**
    If you were one of
    the test takers over there.
**[10:13] ---**
    I'd use my Shadow Possession Jutsu…
**[10:16] ---**
    But this question wouldn't exist
    if I weren't the proctor.
**[10:21] ---**
    That's why there is no point
    in me answering that question.
**[10:25] ---**
    What are you quibbling about?
**[10:28] ---**
    Anyway, it all boils down
    to thinking carefully
**[10:30] ---**
    about your teammates
    and the situation.
**[10:33] ---**
    Still, there's bound to
    be many who pass.
**[10:37] ---**
    And that'll make
    the Second Round a pain.
**[10:39] ---**
    I won't make trouble
    for the Hidden Sand.
**[10:42] ---**
    There's another part to this exam.
**[10:49] ---**
    *Time's up.*
**[10:51] ---**
    *Everyone, flip your sheets over.*
**[10:57] ---**
    Continuing to the second part
    of the exam.
**[10:59] ---**
    – What?!
    – Huh?!
**[11:00] ---**
    *Question.*
**[11:01] ---**
    *Your team is on a mission*
    *and the enemy spots you.*
**[11:04] ---**
    *In order to shake off*
    *their pursuit,*
**[11:06] ---**
    *one teammate must stay behind*
    *as a decoy.*
**[11:08] ---**
    *Who will you choose…*
**[11:10] ---**
    *knowing that the decoy*
    *faces certain death?*
**[11:14] ---**
    *Write down your answer on*
    *that reverse side of your sheet.*
**[11:17] ---**
    *In order to pass,*
**[11:19] ---**
    *all three members on the team*
    *must have the same answer.*
**[11:22] ---**
    *And the member named as*
    *the decoy will be considered killed*
**[11:25] ---**
    *and eliminated from the Exams.*
**[11:29] ---**
    *You have three minutes for this.*
**[11:33] ---**
    Begin!
**[11:45] ---**
    *How does he expect us to choose…?*
**[11:49] ---**
    *Sand Letters…*
**[11:58] ---**
    *So we'll go with Mijin?*
**[12:01] ---**
    *Me?!*
**[12:07] ---**
    *Damn it…*
**[12:12] ---**
    MIJIN
**[12:16] ---**
    *In our old Team 7,*
    *it would have been Naruto.*
**[12:20] ---**
    *Because he would probably*
    *write his own name down.*
**[12:24] ---**
    *Sakura! Sasuke!*
**[12:25] ---**
    *I'll be the decoy,*
    *so you two make a run for it.*
**[12:29] ---**
    *So my answer is…*
**[12:31] ---**
    NARUTO
**[12:32] ---**
    NARUTO NARUTO
**[12:33] ---**
    NARUTO NARUTO
    ME
**[12:35] ---**
    *You idiot!*
**[12:37] ---**
    *Shut up!*
**[12:38] ---**
    *And thanks a lot, you two,
    *for naming me the decoy?!*
**[12:41] ---**
    NARUTO
    
    *What about you writing down "Me"?*
**[12:43] ---**
    NARUTO
    *We figured you'd choose yourself,*
    *so Sakura and I wrote "Naruto."*
**[12:49] ---**
    ME NARUTO
    *Like we were supposed*
    *to know you'd write "Me"!*
**[12:52] ---**
    *You're mean, both of you!*
**[12:54] ---**
    *Shinobi who don't value*
    *their comrades are scum!*
**[12:58] ---**
    *The answer isn't Naruto.*
**[13:00] ---**
    *My teammates now*
    *are Ino and Choji…*
**[13:02] ---**
    *So…*
**[13:04] ---**
    *Sakura!*
**[13:05] ---**
    *What'll we do?*
    *I can't choose either of you!*
**[13:09] ---**
    *What is Shikamaru thinking?*
**[13:12] ---**
    *Ino, please relay this to Choji too.*
**[13:14] ---**
    *The answer is…*
**[13:17] ---**
    *Huh?! But that's…!*
**[13:31] ---**
    I'll be collecting your papers.
**[13:33] ---**
    Wait in your classrooms
    until the papers are graded.
**[13:36] ---**
    *Those who passed will be*
    *called out to the schoolyard.*
**[13:46] ---**
    You rarely visit.
    To what do I owe this pleasure?
**[13:49] ---**
    There's something you need to know.
**[14:02] ---**
    You don't need Hidden Leaf proctors
    for the Second Round?
**[14:07] ---**
    The Hidden Sand would like
    to handle everything ourselves.
**[14:10] ---**
    And the reason for that?
**[14:11] ---**
    The site of the Second Round
    is known as the Demon Desert.
**[14:14] ---**
    It's extremely dangerous even for
    those of us familiar with the terrain.
**[14:17] ---**
    For the sake of security,
    we ask for your understanding.
**[14:21] ---**
    For whose security, may I ask?
**[14:26] ---**
    Naturally, for the participants.
**[14:29] ---**
    The jonin in charge of the entrants
**[14:31] ---**
    will accompany them
    to Hidden Sand Village.
**[14:33] ---**
    That is not open to negotiation.
**[14:36] ---**
    Yes, that's fine.
**[14:45] ---**
    What do you think?
**[14:46] ---**
    Sounds suspicious.
**[14:47] ---**
    Yes, they are hiding something.
**[14:50] ---**
    But the Sand are not the only ones.
**[14:54] ---**
    How have the Hidden Rain responded?
**[14:57] ---**
    Danzo asked to see us earlier.
**[15:02] ---**
    Even though he's confined
    under house arrest,
**[15:04] ---**
    he still has his connections.
**[15:10] ---**
    *You are aware that I helped*
    *Hanzo of the Salamander,*
**[15:13] ---**
    *the leader of the Hidden Rain?*
**[15:18] ---**
    *That was when you were*
    *in charge of the Foundation.*
**[15:22] ---**
    *I continued to communicate with him*
    *secretly even after I was ousted.*
**[15:28] ---**
    *Danzo, you didn't…?*
**[15:31] ---**
    *But Hanzo abruptly*
    *stopped contacting me.*
**[15:35] ---**
    *If he stopped trusting me,*
**[15:37] ---**
    *he would've lured me out*
    *and killed me*
**[15:39] ---**
    *since I know so many secrets.*
**[15:41] ---**
    *But he didn't.*
**[15:43] ---**
    *Something has happened to Hanzo.*
**[15:46] ---**
    *Like what?*
**[15:53] ---**
    *I believe there's been*
    *an incident in Hidden Rain Village.*
**[15:59] ---**
    *In the worst case,*
    *he's no longer in this world…*
**[16:02] ---**
    *How can that be?*
**[16:03] ---**
    *On the outside, Hanzo is still*
    *the leader of the Hidden Rain.*
**[16:07] ---**
    *Please warn Princess Tsunade*
**[16:09] ---**
    *to be extremely wary of the entrants*
    *sent by the Hidden Rain.*
**[16:18] ---**
    Well, you have been warned.
**[16:21] ---**
    Danzo of all people asked you this?
**[16:24] ---**
    He may be called a hardliner
    and the darkness within shinobi…
**[16:28] ---**
    But there is no doubt
**[16:30] ---**
    that he operates all for
    the sake of the Hidden Leaf.
**[16:35] ---**
    The Hidden Rain, eh…
**[16:37] ---**
    We must increase surveillance.
**[16:40] ---**
    There's also the Sand to think of.
**[16:44] ---**
    I will inform the jonin in charge
    of the entrants about this.
**[16:47] ---**
    Just the jonin of the teams
    who pass the first round?
**[16:51] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:02] ---**
    Damn it…
**[17:06] ---**
    Well…
**[17:08] ---**
    Those of you here have passed
    the First Round. Congratulations.
**[17:13] ---**
    Neji, you sent that signal, right?
**[17:16] ---**
    Thanks to you, we made it.
**[17:18] ---**
    Truth be told,
    that guy from the Sand did it.
**[17:22] ---**
    How come all three of you made it?
**[17:25] ---**
    Didn't the decoy get disqualified?
**[17:29] ---**
    The rule said all three had
    to have the same answer.
**[17:32] ---**
    We didn't choose anyone.
**[17:34] ---**
    What?!
**[17:35] ---**
    We all turned in a blank sheet.
**[17:37] ---**
    Blank? All three of you?!
**[17:40] ---**
    There's no way we'd sacrifice
    a comrade.
**[17:44] ---**
    Take a look…
**[17:45] ---**
    at how many teams passed
    with all three members.
**[17:54] ---**
    I'm sorry I couldn't figure out
    the question.
**[17:58] ---**
    It's okay!
**[17:59] ---**
    We coordinated things
    with that in mind.
**[18:02] ---**
    I know!
**[18:02] ---**
    I trusted you two and
    didn't write anything.
**[18:05] ---**
    More like couldn't, right?
**[18:07] ---**
    You guys!
**[18:09] ---**
    We passed Round One!
**[18:13] ---**
    You can transfer thoughts,
    but that backfired on you, eh.
**[18:17] ---**
    Well…
**[18:19] ---**
    Thinking about letting a teammate die
    was already the wrong answer.
**[18:25] ---**
    Why you…
**[18:28] ---**
    I'm Temari of the Sand.
**[18:30] ---**
    I'm in charge of Round Two
    of the Exams.
**[18:32] ---**
    Too many teams passed
    the first round,
**[18:34] ---**
    so we're going to narrow it down
    some more.
**[18:37] ---**
    Hey, what do you mean
    "narrow it down"?!
**[18:39] ---**
    First off, Round Two is also
    a team battle.
**[18:42] ---**
    Any team without its third member
    will be disqualified!
**[18:45] ---**
    What?!
**[18:46] ---**
    Furthermore, Round Two will be held
    in the Village of the Hidden Sand.
**[18:51] ---**
    We will meet at
    the Demon Desert checkpoint.
**[18:53] ---**
    Although there is a clear route
**[18:55] ---**
    between the Hidden Leaf
    and Hidden Sand Villages,
**[18:57] ---**
    it will take a shinobi three days,
    no matter how fast he or she may be.
**[19:06] ---**
    A messenger hawk has been sent to
    the Hidden Sand with these instructions.
**[19:10] ---**
    "After the first 30 arrive,
    all who follow are to be disqualified."
**[19:17] ---**
    Finally, as in Round One,
    fighting is prohibited en route.
**[19:21] ---**
    You can fight to your heart's content
    in Round Two.
**[19:24] ---**
    That is all.
**[19:25] ---**
    Lee, Tenten…
**[19:29] ---**
    He's quick to assess a situation,
    after all.
**[19:33] ---**
    What's wrong?
    You're dismissed!
**[19:37] ---**
    Ino, Choji!
**[19:43] ---**
    Oh, I get it!
**[19:45] ---**
    The elimination race has
    already begun!
**[19:50] ---**
    Couldn't you at least
    have said, "ready, set, go"?
**[19:53] ---**
    This is the Chunin Exams.
    Not the Academy.
**[19:57] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:57] ---**
    – Hey, Yukata!
    – Get moving!
**[20:02] ---**
    Maybe next time, we should stick
    to an ordinary scholastic test.
**[20:09] ---**
    Let's get there first!
**[20:12] ---**
    There's no advantage
    to being the first to arrive.
**[20:22] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[20:26] ---**
    There's one team ahead of us.
**[20:49] ---**
    Lord Kazekage…
**[20:50] ---**
    Round One of
    the Chunin Exams is over.
**[20:54] ---**
    The participants are now heading
    towards the Hidden Sand Village.
**[20:58] ---**
    I see.
**[21:02] ---**
    Get ready for Round Two.
**[22:37] ---**
    The people targeting you
    are stepping up their efforts.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    If you casually go out there,
    you'll be playing into their hands!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I already know.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    But if I quit because of that,
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    it would be like declaring that
    I caved in under pressure.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    The Chunin Exams are the beginning
    of everything for me.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Night Before the Second Exam"
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    I'll show them by making sure
    these Chunin Exams proceed successfully.

    *The Night Before the Second Exam*
    
    
**[01:53] ---**
    Where are you trying to go?
**[01:56] ---**
    The Kazekage's quarters
    are beyond here.
**[02:00] ---**
    Hold it!
**[02:03] ---**
    Who the hell are you?!
**[02:06] ---**
    We seek to reform the Land of Wind!
**[02:14] ---**
    You think I'd let you get away?!
**[02:24] ---**
    You have nowhere to run…
**[02:36] ---**
    Divine Punishment!
**[02:40] ---**
    Take cover!
**[02:59] ---**
    Oh, you're back.
**[03:01] ---**
    Damn it…
**[03:02] ---**
    Be more careful.
**[03:09] ---**
    You wanted to talk to me?
**[03:13] ---**
    Please, Gaara, forget about
    supervising the Chunin Exams.
**[03:17] ---**
    The people targeting you
    are stepping up their efforts.
**[03:21] ---**
    You'll just be playing into
    their hands if you continue this!
**[03:25] ---**
    I already know that.
**[03:27] ---**
    But if I quit because of that,
**[03:29] ---**
    it would be like declaring that
    I will cave in under pressure.
**[03:33] ---**
    Maybe so, but…
**[03:35] ---**
    But this is only the Chunin Exams!
**[03:43] ---**
    *The Chunin Exams is where*
    *everything began for me.*
**[03:49] ---**
    Thanks to him,
    I've made it this far.
**[03:54] ---**
    I'll make sure these Chunin Exams
    are a success…
**[03:57] ---**
    …without fail.
**[04:09] ---**
    We've finally reached
    Hidden Sand territory.
**[04:12] ---**
    All right, let's go to
    the second-round site.
**[04:18] ---**
    Sarutobi Sensei! Yuhi Sensei!
**[04:20] ---**
    Sorry, but this is as far as you'll go.
**[04:24] ---**
    Late arrivals are disqualified.
**[04:27] ---**
    If you're from the Hidden Leaf,
    return to the village.
**[04:30] ---**
    The rest of you can disperse
    from here too.
**[04:33] ---**
    But we ran nonstop for
    three days to get here!
**[04:36] ---**
    If you're complaining,
**[04:40] ---**
    then maybe it's for the best
    that you're being eliminated.
**[04:44] ---**
    That's because hell is beyond this point.
**[04:46] ---**
    And who knows if you'll even
    get out of there alive.
**[04:54] ---**
    Sakura! Everyone!
    You made it!
**[04:59] ---**
    I must admit,
    Guy Sensei's team sure has stamina.
**[05:04] ---**
    Team Asuma, Team Kurenai…
**[05:06] ---**
    The main members from
    that last time made it through.
**[05:10] ---**
    Yup! You all gave it your all!
**[05:13] ---**
    The fortitude you showed in running for
    three days and three nights without sleep
**[05:17] ---**
    has made me so proud!
**[05:21] ---**
    Why, it takes me back to the time
    I took the Chunin Exams…
**[05:24] ---**
    Sensei… If you're going to
    tell us a long story…
**[05:26] ---**
    Please let us rest already.
    I'm starving.
**[05:32] ---**
    Seems like it.
**[05:36] ---**
    We've never been to
    the Hidden Sand before…
**[05:39] ---**
    It really is nothing but desert.
**[05:42] ---**
    To be accurate,
    this really isn't Hidden Sand Village.
**[05:45] ---**
    It's quite far from the village.
**[05:48] ---**
    Neji, have you ever been to
    the Hidden Sand Village?
**[05:52] ---**
    Once on an errand for the Hyuga.
**[05:54] ---**
    This is the Demon Desert checkpoint.
**[05:58] ---**
    I see.
**[05:59] ---**
    So this is what they're using.
**[06:01] ---**
    Taking the Exams in a different village
    is sort of nerve-wracking.
**[06:06] ---**
    I wonder what
    the second round will be like.
**[06:10] ---**
    It's probably like
    last time.
**[06:13] ---**
    So we'll be battling teams
    from other villages?
**[06:16] ---**
    There's a good chance of that.
**[06:18] ---**
    Then we'll have to be wary
    of some teams.
**[06:23] ---**
    We went at full-speed,
    yet we weren't the first to arrive.
**[06:28] ---**
    The Hidden Waterfall were
    the first to arrive.
**[06:31] ---**
    Not only that,
    they got here long before us.
**[06:35] ---**
    Just what kind of opponents
    are they?
**[06:39] ---**
    C'mon, open up!
**[06:42] ---**
    What's going on?
    The door won't open!
**[06:46] ---**
    Sorry, Fuu.
**[06:47] ---**
    Stay in there until morning.
**[06:50] ---**
    Huh?! Why's that?
**[06:53] ---**
    We never know what you'll do next.
**[06:55] ---**
    So please, give us a break and
    let us rest up for the next round.
**[06:59] ---**
    Huh? Hey!
**[07:01] ---**
    That means I can't go and
    have fun with the others!
**[07:04] ---**
    See, that's what worries us.
**[07:10] ---**
    *Dinner is ready.*
**[07:13] ---**
    *Entrants, please assemble*
    *in the cafeteria.*
**[07:19] ---**
    So that's Hidden Sand Village…
**[07:21] ---**
    Check out the Hidden Sand…
    giving everyone the stink eye.
**[07:26] ---**
    They sure look mean.
**[07:28] ---**
    Well, Kiba… You look pretty mean too.
**[07:32] ---**
    And over there
    are the Hidden Rain.
**[07:35] ---**
    I guess the other side
    is the Hidden Grass.
**[07:38] ---**
    That guy's amazing.
**[07:40] ---**
    I'll say.
**[07:42] ---**
    Compared to him, even
    our slightly chubby Choji looks normal.
**[07:46] ---**
    But the way he sweats…
**[07:48] ---**
    Seriously, that's gross.
**[07:52] ---**
    Hey…
**[07:53] ---**
    I'm getting a bad feeling…
**[07:57] ---**
    Bad feeling?
**[07:58] ---**
    All that sweat.
**[08:00] ---**
    If he gets close to the food…
**[08:09] ---**
    All right! Time to eat dinner!
**[08:39] ---**
    At this rate…
**[08:41] ---**
    Our dinner will be…
**[08:57] ---**
    Damn!
**[09:01] ---**
    Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
**[09:07] ---**
    S-Saved…
**[09:08] ---**
    Uh… I do not think so.
**[09:19] ---**
    What did you do to our dinner?
**[09:21] ---**
    What are you thinking?
**[09:25] ---**
    What did you do to our friend?!
**[09:28] ---**
    Don't misunderstand!
**[09:29] ---**
    We wanted to protect our food!
**[09:32] ---**
    So you were going to save your food
    and never mind the rest of us, right?
**[09:37] ---**
    What're you saying?!
**[09:39] ---**
    We'd never stoop to
    something like that!
**[09:41] ---**
    Your suspicion shows that
    Gaara hasn't trained you right!
**[09:46] ---**
    Did you just criticize Lord Gaara?
**[09:49] ---**
    That is absolutely unforgivable!
**[09:57] ---**
    Stop!
**[09:59] ---**
    Please stop, everyone!
**[10:12] ---**
    Hey, stop it!
**[10:21] ---**
    Neji! Aren't you going to stop them?
**[10:24] ---**
    Sorry, but I'm busy right now.
**[10:25] ---**
    Burami!
**[10:27] ---**
    Don't eat food off the ground!
**[10:29] ---**
    Muyami! You help too!
**[10:32] ---**
    I'll pass… I'm too shy.
**[10:34] ---**
    Calm down, every—!
**[10:36] ---**
    Do not fight—!
**[10:38] ---**
    Why you…!
**[10:43] ---**
    Will you stop…and listen to me?!
**[11:01] ---**
    This room is way too small for
    a flashy move like that.
**[11:05] ---**
    *I didn't do that at full strength,*
    *but still…*
**[11:07] ---**
    *To be able*
    *to stop me with one hand…*
**[11:10] ---**
    What's that sound?
**[11:12] ---**
    Fuu!
**[11:20] ---**
    Ta-dah!
**[11:24] ---**
    So the party's already started, guys?!
**[11:27] ---**
    I wonder if I can make a hundred friends?
**[11:31] ---**
    Wh-Who are you?
**[11:33] ---**
    I'm Fuu from the Village Hidden
    in the Waterfall!
**[11:38] ---**
    *This one…*
**[11:39] ---**
    I came to the Chunin Exams
    to make a hundred friends!
**[11:44] ---**
    So guys, what's the plan
    after dinner?
**[11:47] ---**
    Cards? Backgammon? Musical chairs?
**[11:51] ---**
    Or…
**[11:52] ---**
    How about we all take
    a bath together?
**[11:56] ---**
    What's with you?
**[12:00] ---**
    Oh well, so much for dinner…
**[12:03] ---**
    I'm going back.
**[12:05] ---**
    Huh? Hey…
**[12:07] ---**
    W-Wait!
**[12:10] ---**
    Don't go!
**[12:12] ---**
    Hey guys, play with me!
**[12:15] ---**
    Well…
**[12:17] ---**
    It took an idiot like that
    to stop the ruckus…
**[12:20] ---**
    Sort of reminds me of someone.
**[12:22] ---**
    I know… Naruto.
**[12:23] ---**
    Right, Lee?
**[12:25] ---**
    Huh? Lee?
**[12:27] ---**
    Excuse me, please wait!
**[12:31] ---**
    I realized it when
    I made contact earlier.
**[12:33] ---**
    You are not like the others.
**[12:38] ---**
    You stopped my attack
    with such ease.
**[12:42] ---**
    It may sound arrogant
    coming from me,
**[12:44] ---**
    but it takes someone
    extraordinary to do that.
**[12:47] ---**
    That's why I can tell…
**[12:49] ---**
    That you have had to overcome
    great odds like me.
**[12:53] ---**
    What are you trying to say?
**[12:55] ---**
    Well…that you and I are alike.
**[12:58] ---**
    I know about you.
**[13:01] ---**
    You're Rock Lee of the Hidden Leaf.
**[13:03] ---**
    I'm Shira of the Hidden Sand.
**[13:06] ---**
    Shira…
**[13:09] ---**
    I don't know what it is you sensed,
**[13:12] ---**
    but dwelling on the misfortunes
    of birth is meaningless.
**[13:16] ---**
    Because, for all of one's flaws
    and suffering,
**[13:17] ---**
    we have just one life.
**[13:20] ---**
    To me, there is only one truth in life.
**[13:24] ---**
    One truth in life?
**[13:30] ---**
    Determination never betrays you.
**[13:38] ---**
    Shira…
**[13:45] ---**
    Lady Tsunade, I've returned.
**[13:47] ---**
    I'm glad you made it back.
    So how did it go?
**[13:50] ---**
    As I reported, I wasn't able
    to see Hanzo in person.
**[13:57] ---**
    I intended to sneak back in and
**[13:59] ---**
    investigate, but…
**[14:13] ---**
    The infiltrator must be around here!
**[14:15] ---**
    Find him!
**[14:16] ---**
    *What?*
**[14:18] ---**
    *They've discovered*
    *my presence already?*
**[14:21] ---**
    They were on to me from the start.
**[14:24] ---**
    It was almost as though…
**[14:26] ---**
    ghosts were watching me.
**[14:28] ---**
    Well…
**[14:31] ---**
    I was expecting just
    the usual Chunin Exams,
**[14:35] ---**
    But now that it's started,
**[14:37] ---**
    we're discovering some
    interesting things about each village.
**[14:41] ---**
    Interesting things?
**[14:56] ---**
    Choji…
**[14:58] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[15:00] ---**
    Ino…
**[15:01] ---**
    What's that building?
**[15:04] ---**
    Oh, that's where the Senseis
    are staying.
**[15:07] ---**
    The Senseis?!
**[15:10] ---**
    Hey, Choji!
**[15:12] ---**
    I'll bet they'll give us some food
    if we go there!
**[15:15] ---**
    We're not supposed to
    wander around at night!
**[15:18] ---**
    He's so hungry,
    he can't think straight!
**[15:21] ---**
    Let's go after him!
**[15:31] ---**
    Choji! Where are you?!
**[15:37] ---**
    – Choji?!
    – Choji?!
**[15:41] ---**
    Friends...
**[15:46] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[15:49] ---**
    What is that shadow?
**[15:51] ---**
    Whose voice was that?!
**[15:53] ---**
    No way…
**[15:54] ---**
    Did someone go outside?
**[15:56] ---**
    What?
**[15:57] ---**
    Oh! Cards? Backgammon?!
**[16:00] ---**
    Giant scorpions come out at night
    during this time of year!
**[16:04] ---**
    That's why you were told
    not to go outside!
**[16:06] ---**
    You have things like that?!
**[16:10] ---**
    Hey!
**[16:20] ---**
    Choji!
**[16:21] ---**
    I'm here to help you!
**[16:24] ---**
    What is this thing?!
**[16:31] ---**
    Hidden Waterfall Hurricane!
**[16:40] ---**
    Yahoo! This is fun!
**[16:44] ---**
    No! Stop!
**[16:47] ---**
    W-What's happening?!
**[16:48] ---**
    Hey!
**[16:49] ---**
    Stop fooling around,
    and take that thing down!
**[16:52] ---**
    Huh? It's over already…?!
**[16:55] ---**
    It's dangerous!
**[16:58] ---**
    Aww… Guess I have no choice!
**[17:10] ---**
    Sakura, are you all right?
**[17:13] ---**
    Yeah…
**[17:15] ---**
    But you're bleeding!
**[17:17] ---**
    I'm okay.
**[17:19] ---**
    Please don't move.
**[17:24] ---**
    *This girl…*
**[17:26] ---**
    *She's a Medical Ninja like me…*
**[17:30] ---**
    That should do it.
**[17:31] ---**
    Thank you.
**[17:35] ---**
    *She's got skill.*
**[17:37] ---**
    Yahoo!
**[17:38] ---**
    Yahoo yahoo-hoo!
**[17:42] ---**
    Jeez…
**[17:43] ---**
    What a pain…
**[17:44] ---**
    *Her again…*
**[17:47] ---**
    *How'd she show up so fast?*
**[17:49] ---**
    *And she brought down*
    *that monster in no time.*
**[17:53] ---**
    W-What is this?!
**[17:57] ---**
    What's going on?
**[17:59] ---**
    Going outside at night is prohibited.
**[18:02] ---**
    The Second Exam begins
    before dawn breaks!
**[18:04] ---**
    Hurry up and return
    to your quarters!
**[18:06] ---**
    – We're sorry.
    – Guy Sensei!
**[18:08] ---**
    W-We're starving!
**[18:11] ---**
    You guys are…
**[18:14] ---**
    Go back now!
**[18:17] ---**
    Clear your mind of mundane thoughts
    and even a fire will go out!
**[18:24] ---**
    Missing one meal won't kill a person!
**[18:27] ---**
    Just think of this
    as part of training!
**[18:34] ---**
    Huh? Huh?
**[18:35] ---**
    Huh?! You're all leaving?
**[18:39] ---**
    I'm so sad…
**[18:41] ---**
    You're a good person.…
    To help foes from other villages.
**[18:47] ---**
    If you had ignored them, you would've
    ended up with fewer rivals.
**[18:50] ---**
    I don't care about rivals or allies.
**[18:54] ---**
    I wonder if I'm going to make
    a hundred friends!
**[18:57] ---**
    Hey, let's be friends!
**[19:01] ---**
    Wanna play cards? Backgammon?
**[19:03] ---**
    Or…wanna bathe together?!
**[19:07] ---**
    They are the Lord Kazekage
    and the jonin supervisors!
**[19:12] ---**
    Watch what you say!
**[19:14] ---**
    One hundred…!
**[19:17] ---**
    – Enough! Let's go back!
    – …friends!
**[19:19] ---**
    Doesn't care about rivals or allies, huh.
**[19:22] ---**
    Sounds just like someone I know.
**[19:29] ---**
    Gaara?
**[19:30] ---**
    It's nothing.
**[19:32] ---**
    Now I have more to look forward to
    in the Chunin Exams.
**[19:37] ---**
    Thanks to a few interesting
    characters taking part in it.
**[19:48] ---**
    All right…
**[19:50] ---**
    I'm going to explain the second round
    of the Chunin Exams.
**[19:53] ---**
    The Second Exam will be
    a competition for scrolls
**[19:56] ---**
    to be held in the Demon Desert.
**[19:58] ---**
    In other words,
    this is the ultimate survival battle!
**[20:04] ---**
    EARTH HEAVEN
    
    There are two scrolls,
    Heaven and Earth.
**[20:07] ---**
    Half the teams will be
    given Heaven scrolls.
**[20:10] ---**
    The other half will get Earth scrolls.
**[20:13] ---**
    The objective of this exam
**[20:15] ---**
    is to obtain both the Heaven
    and Earth scrolls
**[20:18] ---**
    and to bring them back
    to the base
**[20:20] ---**
    located in the center
    of the Demon Desert.
**[20:22] ---**
    You have 72 hours.
**[20:24] ---**
    Find food on your own!
**[20:27] ---**
    Starting now,
    there may be fatalities.
**[20:29] ---**
    Every participating team member
    will sign a consent form!
**[20:33] ---**
    CONSENT FORM
    
    When you turn in the team
    consent forms, you will be given a scroll!
**[20:38] ---**
    Furthermore, to avoid confusion,
**[20:40] ---**
    each team will start from
    a different location.
**[20:44] ---**
    So be quick,
    and go to your starting points!
**[20:49] ---**
    It's finally starting…
**[20:51] ---**
    The second round
    of the Chunin Exams!
**[20:53] ---**
    We don't know what lies ahead.
**[20:56] ---**
    So let's stay on our toes.
**[20:58] ---**
    – Right!
    – Okay!
**[22:37] ---**
    Our priority is to find
    the other scroll.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    To do that, we're going to have
    to fight another team for it.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    We were fortunate that brawl happened
    in the cafeteria last night.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    We have to watch out for
    the one who stopped your kick,
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Shira, and his team, and…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Survival in the Demon Desert"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    …the team from the Hidden Waterfall!

    *Demon Desert Survival*
    
    
**[01:50] ---**
    *For the next three days, I'm going to*
    *give it everything I've got…*
**[01:55] ---**
    *for Lord Gaara.*
**[02:10] ---**
    *Lord Gaara, putting up*
    *your Sand Guard won't help you train!*
**[02:14] ---**
    *Sorry… My Sand Guard is*
    *an automatic response*
**[02:17] ---**
    *and I'm not conscious of it.*
**[02:19] ---**
    *Your Sand is like armor.*
**[02:22] ---**
    *Even if your armor is solid,*
**[02:23] ---**
    *you'll sustain damage if*
    *your taijutsu within you is weak.*
**[02:30] ---**
    *You must stay on the offensive*
    *and maintain your breathing.*
**[02:34] ---**
    *Then your body will move naturally.*
**[02:37] ---**
    *Now try defending yourself even*
    *before your Sand Guard activates.*
**[02:58] ---**
    *I am impressed, Lord Gaara.*
**[03:00] ---**
    *You've progressed so much*
    *in such a short time.*
**[03:03] ---**
    *Once you master taijutsu,*
    *you will be able to combine it*
**[03:06] ---**
    *with your Sand Guard and*
    *make it even more formidable.*
**[03:09] ---**
    *It's only because I have*
    *such a fine teacher.*
**[03:12] ---**
    *Shira, are you going to*
    *take the Chunin Exams?*
**[03:15] ---**
    *Yes. I'm eternally grateful for*
    *the opportunity you have given me.*
**[03:23] ---**
    *It's only natural since*
    *you have the skills.*
**[03:27] ---**
    *In time, you will become*
    *a great shinobi of the Sand.*
**[03:34] ---**
    It's finally here!
    The Chunin Exams!
**[03:37] ---**
    I'm getting antsy.
**[03:40] ---**
    It's too soon to get nervous.
**[03:43] ---**
    Our goal isn't simply to
    pass the Chunin Exams…
**[03:47] ---**
    But to have as many Sand entrants
    as possible pass.
**[03:52] ---**
    It's my way of
    repaying Lord Gaara.
**[03:56] ---**
    I think you're more stressed out
    than we are.
**[04:00] ---**
    I want to live up to
    Lord Gaara's expectations.
**[04:06] ---**
    By the way, this year's Chunin Exams
    are shorter than last time.
**[04:11] ---**
    It's three days this time
    as opposed to five days.
**[04:15] ---**
    Which simply means this place
    is that much more dangerous.
**[04:20] ---**
    When the sun rises,
    the temperatures soar in the desert.
**[04:23] ---**
    And getting around will
    become much more difficult.
**[04:26] ---**
    I see…
**[04:27] ---**
    We might have barely
    enough time to make it to the goal.
**[04:32] ---**
    So we can't stop for anything.
**[04:34] ---**
    Anyway, our priority is
    to acquire the other scroll.
**[04:39] ---**
    To do that, we'll have
    to battle a team for it…
**[04:41] ---**
    But we can't just pick any team.
**[04:45] ---**
    I came up with something.
**[04:47] ---**
    When did you…?
**[04:49] ---**
    Yesterday's brawl in the cafeteria
    was a fortunate turn of events.
**[04:53] ---**
    I was able to get a rough idea
    of the other teams' strengths.
**[05:01] ---**
    The teams to watch are…
**[05:03] ---**
    the one with Shira,
    the guy who stopped your kick, Lee.
**[05:07] ---**
    And...
**[05:17] ---**
    The team from the Hidden Waterfall.
**[05:20] ---**
    With our skills,
**[05:21] ---**
    we should have no problem
    with the rest of the teams.
**[05:23] ---**
    You're amazing, Neji!
**[05:25] ---**
    You analyzed all that already?!
**[05:27] ---**
    So we'll avoid
    the strong teams
**[05:29] ---**
    and aim for
    the weaker ones, right?
**[05:31] ---**
    I do not like doing things
    in that way...
**[05:35] ---**
    I figured you'd say that.
**[05:39] ---**
    But we've waited two and a half years
    for these Chunin Exams.
**[05:42] ---**
    You don't want to fail, do you?
**[05:45] ---**
    Of course not…
**[05:48] ---**
    *But I…*
**[05:53] ---**
    *Determination never betrays you.*
**[05:55] ---**
    *I…*
**[05:58] ---**
    *I want to fight that guy!*
**[06:08] ---**
    There's the signal to start.
**[06:10] ---**
    Let's go!
**[06:33] ---**
    So, what do we do?
**[06:36] ---**
    We were told not to enter
    the Demon Desert...
**[06:41] ---**
    I have a message
    from Lady Tsunade.
**[06:51] ---**
    What is it?
**[06:53] ---**
    I'll read it.
**[06:55] ---**
    "According to intel from agents
    who just returned,"
**[06:58] ---**
    "opposition forces have been
    on the move recently"
**[07:01] ---**
    "in the Land of Wind."
**[07:03] ---**
    *In other words, they are*
    *the anti-Gaara faction.*
**[07:06] ---**
    *An assassination attempt*
    *has already occurred.*
**[07:09] ---**
    *In spite of this, supervisors from*
    *other villages are prohibited*
**[07:12] ---**
    *from entering the Demon Desert…*
**[07:15] ---**
    *and Gaara himself intends to supervise*
    *the Second Exam as a proctor.*
**[07:19] ---**
    *Needless to say,*
    *the danger is enormous*
**[07:22] ---**
    *if Gaara plans to*
    *set himself up as a decoy.*
**[07:26] ---**
    *Not only to Gaara,*
    *but to the Hidden Leaf.*
**[07:31] ---**
    *If anything happens to Gaara,*
**[07:33] ---**
    *our alliance with the Hidden Sand*
    *will become rocky.*
**[07:37] ---**
    *Guy… Asuma… Kurenai…*
**[07:40] ---**
    *Sneak into the Demon Desert*
    *and investigate the Hidden Sand.*
**[07:44] ---**
    "If Gaara's safety is threatened,
    protect him!"
**[07:49] ---**
    Gaara's assassination…?
**[07:51] ---**
    Gaara himself is the decoy…?
**[07:55] ---**
    The Hidden Sand must be
    at their wit's end…
**[07:59] ---**
    Whatever happens,
    let's protect the Kazekage!
**[08:02] ---**
    – Right.
    – Yes.
**[08:04] ---**
    Scatter!
**[08:21] ---**
    Your eyesight is amazing.
**[08:23] ---**
    Imagine being able to see
    what's being reflected
**[08:25] ---**
    on a water droplet dozens
    of kilometers away.
**[08:28] ---**
    Once she gets a fix
    on the relay point,
**[08:30] ---**
    she can see several
    dozen kilometers out.
**[08:32] ---**
    But when the sun is out,
    the water droplets evaporate,
**[08:36] ---**
    so I can't use it for too long.
**[08:39] ---**
    Found them!
**[08:40] ---**
    That's the team from
    the Hidden Leaf!
**[08:42] ---**
    The Hidden Sand is
    close by too!
**[08:45] ---**
    Tell them to keep their distance.
**[08:48] ---**
    Right.
**[08:55] ---**
    It's a signal from Shira.
**[08:58] ---**
    Well? Do you see anyone?
**[09:01] ---**
    Nope, there's no one.
**[09:03] ---**
    There has to be.
    We've run quite far.
**[09:09] ---**
    *What's going on?*
**[09:13] ---**
    *Why can't I find anyone*
    *with my Byakugan?*
**[09:16] ---**
    Neji, Tenten… Come here!
**[09:21] ---**
    What is it, Lee?
**[09:29] ---**
    I'm positive this is my kunai.
**[09:32] ---**
    What?!
**[09:34] ---**
    Just in case we got lost,
    I stuck a few kunai into the rocks.
**[09:39] ---**
    Finding this means…
**[09:43] ---**
    We've been running
    around in circles…
**[09:46] ---**
    Could this be a genjutsu?
**[09:47] ---**
    No way! We haven't even
    confronted the enemy!
**[09:57] ---**
    – Release!
    – Release!
**[10:06] ---**
    I knew it…
**[10:07] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[10:10] ---**
    There!
**[10:12] ---**
    I found them!
**[10:16] ---**
    Let's hurry!
**[10:17] ---**
    According to Shira,
**[10:18] ---**
    there are some pesky
    Leaf shinobi nearby!
**[10:21] ---**
    Why should we listen
    to a guy like that?!
**[10:25] ---**
    He's useful to us now.
**[10:27] ---**
    We can thank him later…
    to our heart's content!
**[10:33] ---**
    Damn… They found us!
**[10:35] ---**
    We don't need to be nice
    to these guys, right?
**[10:38] ---**
    We'll take their scroll!
**[10:40] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[10:42] ---**
    Here I go!
**[10:45] ---**
    Leaf…
**[10:49] ---**
    Whirlwind!
**[10:53] ---**
    Datsuji! Goji!
**[10:57] ---**
    You're already within my range.
**[11:01] ---**
    And I'm going to deal
    with you swiftly.
**[11:04] ---**
    Eight Trigrams…
**[11:05] ---**
    Two Palms!
**[11:08] ---**
    What?!
**[11:09] ---**
    4 Palms!
**[11:12] ---**
    8 Palms!
**[11:14] ---**
    16 Palms!
**[11:16] ---**
    32 Palms!
**[11:19] ---**
    64 Palms!
**[11:27] ---**
    *He blocked every hit?!*
**[11:30] ---**
    Shira!
**[11:32] ---**
    We'll handle them.
**[11:34] ---**
    Leave while you can.
**[11:38] ---**
    I cannot believe I get
    to fight you so soon!
**[11:40] ---**
    Hey! What are you
    so happy about?!
**[11:44] ---**
    Lee! Don't take him on carelessly!
**[11:46] ---**
    Oh, my…
**[11:47] ---**
    The Cactus Genjutsu
    was broken already?
**[11:50] ---**
    *Cactus Genjutsu?*
**[11:57] ---**
    Back then, I did catch
    the faint scent of plants...
**[12:01] ---**
    That was the genjutsu?
**[12:03] ---**
    We knew the second round
**[12:05] ---**
    would take place
    in the Demon Desert.
**[12:09] ---**
    So we set up several jutsu
    in advance.
**[12:12] ---**
    Don't hold it against us…
**[12:15] ---**
    that we have an advantage.
**[12:17] ---**
    But not this time!
**[12:19] ---**
    I don't know about that.
**[12:23] ---**
    I'm very cautious.
**[12:25] ---**
    So I wonder what it means…
**[12:27] ---**
    that I appeared before you?
**[12:30] ---**
    Huh?!
**[12:31] ---**
    What?!
**[12:32] ---**
    I can't move…
**[12:33] ---**
    Not again?!
**[12:37] ---**
    This time, I'll release it for you.
**[12:40] ---**
    Release!
**[12:46] ---**
    Sorry, but I don't have time
    to deal with you guys now.
**[12:50] ---**
    Please wait!
**[12:53] ---**
    Shira! Why won't you fight me?
**[12:57] ---**
    You're strong. I knew that
    the moment I took your hit.
**[13:03] ---**
    That's why I won't fight.
**[13:05] ---**
    If we fight, one of us will get hurt.
**[13:07] ---**
    A shinobi fights regardless
    of the risk!
**[13:11] ---**
    I have an important goal
    right now.
**[13:15] ---**
    That goal is to make sure
**[13:17] ---**
    Hidden Sand entrants
    make it through the Exams.
**[13:20] ---**
    You're helping…
**[13:22] ---**
    …other entrants?
**[13:24] ---**
    Instead of asking questions,
**[13:24] ---**
    you should worry
    about yourselves.
**[13:27] ---**
    Let's go, Sen, Yome.
**[13:31] ---**
    Shira!
**[13:32] ---**
    This sand…is moving!
**[13:36] ---**
    Help me, Lee!
**[13:38] ---**
    Wait… I can't get loose…!
**[13:41] ---**
    Don't struggle!
    You'll get buried even deeper!
**[13:45] ---**
    It seems I miscalculated
    our strategy.
**[13:48] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[13:50] ---**
    Last night…
**[13:53] ---**
    He was also analyzing
    the Hidden Leaf's strengths.
**[14:04] ---**
    They've had us under
    surveillance from the start!
**[14:07] ---**
    Not only that,
**[14:09] ---**
    he took command over
    the other Hidden Sand entrants,
**[14:12] ---**
    and ordered them not
    to confront us.
**[14:16] ---**
    That's why we didn't
    come across anyone!
**[14:19] ---**
    That Shira is not only skilled...
    he's smart!
**[14:23] ---**
    This is not the time
    to be impressed!
**[14:25] ---**
    Can't you hear this noise?
**[14:31] ---**
    Damn, so this is what
    he was talking about!
**[14:33] ---**
    We're going to fall!
**[14:44] ---**
    We're going to die!
**[14:45] ---**
    We're going to die!
**[14:46] ---**
    Eight Inner Gates!
    The Gate of Rest!
**[14:49] ---**
    Open!
**[15:02] ---**
    Is everyone okay?
**[15:04] ---**
    Yeah, we made it.
**[15:06] ---**
    But where are we?
**[15:15] ---**
    There's no way out
    of this waterfall.
**[15:18] ---**
    What?!
**[15:19] ---**
    So we have to wait until
    someone comes to rescue us?!
**[15:21] ---**
    No way! Does that mean
    we're disqualified?!
**[15:31] ---**
    Is everyone safe?
**[15:32] ---**
    What about them?
**[15:33] ---**
    We took care of them.
**[15:35] ---**
    They fell into
    the Sand Waterfall Pit.
**[15:37] ---**
    They won't be able to get out
    until after the Exams are over.
**[15:40] ---**
    I see. That's a relief.
**[15:44] ---**
    Now's our chance. Get scrolls
    from the other teams.
**[15:51] ---**
    Yeah, and we're taking
    one right now.
**[15:55] ---**
    What's the big idea?
**[15:57] ---**
    Like we said.
**[15:59] ---**
    We're going to get one
    from you guys.
**[16:02] ---**
    Why?!
**[16:03] ---**
    That's easy to answer, Shira.
**[16:07] ---**
    Because we don't like you.
**[16:11] ---**
    *What did you want*
    *to talk about?*
**[16:14] ---**
    *We want to help to*
    *make sure everyone passes.*
**[16:17] ---**
    *Your team and ours will*
    *start out close to each other*
**[16:19] ---**
    *for the Second Exam.*
**[16:21] ---**
    *However, a Hidden Leaf team*
**[16:22] ---**
    *that includes a Byakugan user*
    *will also be near.*
**[16:25] ---**
    *They are strong.*
**[16:27] ---**
    *So what?*
**[16:28] ---**
    *The chances are high*
    *that one of our teams*
**[16:31] ---**
    *will confront the Hidden Leaf*
    *team in the beginning.*
**[16:35] ---**
    *This team is not*
    *to be taken lightly.*
**[16:37] ---**
    *We'll impede them.*
**[16:41] ---**
    *During this time,*
**[16:42] ---**
    *I want you to get as far away*
    *from them as possible.*
**[16:45] ---**
    *Oh… In other words,*
    *you're going order us around?*
**[16:51] ---**
    *I just want the Sand to pass.*
    *As many as possible. That's all.*
**[16:55] ---**
    *That's my way of*
    *repaying Lord Gaara!*
**[17:00] ---**
    *Lord Gaara, huh…?*
**[17:02] ---**
    That just doesn't sit well
    with us.
**[17:06] ---**
    That a guy like you
    who wasn't a shinobi until just recently…
**[17:09] ---**
    caught Lord Gaara's eye
    and has the nerve,
**[17:12] ---**
    to act all high and mighty
    towards us!
**[17:14] ---**
    Do you realize Shira
    saved you earlier?!
**[17:18] ---**
    Well, we don't owe him…
**[17:21] ---**
    a damn thing!
**[17:23] ---**
    Wait!
**[17:26] ---**
    I have no intention
    of fighting you!
**[17:28] ---**
    Maybe not you…but we sure do!
**[17:35] ---**
    You're just too good
    with the fan…
**[17:36] ---**
    Using it even in combat to
    control your Genjutsu Powder.
**[17:39] ---**
    But without it,
    you're no match for me.
**[17:45] ---**
    You squirmy little—!
**[17:52] ---**
    *I learned from Shira too!*
**[17:54] ---**
    *I can use this Evasion Jutsu*
    *better than anybody!*
**[17:57] ---**
    I know your moves like
    the back of my hand!
**[18:02] ---**
    However…
**[18:03] ---**
    Your weakness is...
    your eyes that see too well!
**[18:09] ---**
    IDIOT
    
**[18:10] ---**
    I-idiot?
**[18:13] ---**
    Idiot!
**[18:20] ---**
    My eyes… My eyes!
**[18:25] ---**
    Yome!
**[18:26] ---**
    Sen! Yome!
**[18:32] ---**
    Don't move!
**[18:34] ---**
    If you do, we'll shoot!
**[18:49] ---**
    Shira!
**[18:50] ---**
    It's over, Shira!
**[18:52] ---**
    Don't ever show
    your face again!
**[18:56] ---**
    Die!
**[18:57] ---**
    Leaf...Hurricane!
**[19:00] ---**
    Rotation!
**[19:17] ---**
    You guys are—!
**[19:18] ---**
    Shira and his team are useless.
**[19:21] ---**
    But with the six of us…
**[19:22] ---**
    Sorry, but we're out of here.
**[19:24] ---**
    What?!
**[19:28] ---**
    Let's retreat!
**[19:35] ---**
    Shira! Are you all right?!
**[19:38] ---**
    You…
**[19:41] ---**
    Why…?
**[19:43] ---**
    I thought you fell into
    the Sand Waterfall Pit?
**[19:47] ---**
    Oh, that was nothing.
**[20:10] ---**
    Y-You're pretty good.
**[20:12] ---**
    But why did you save us?
**[20:16] ---**
    We're not so shameless
**[20:17] ---**
    as to torment opponents
    who have been weakened.
**[20:20] ---**
    Anyway, thank you.
**[20:24] ---**
    Can you explain something?
**[20:26] ---**
    Why would your own comrades
    do this to Shira,
**[20:29] ---**
    who protected them?
**[20:31] ---**
    Well… Shira wasn't a shinobi
    until just recently.
**[20:37] ---**
    Wasn't a shinobi?
**[20:39] ---**
    Someone of his skill?
**[20:41] ---**
    Perhaps that's due to
    his circumstances.
**[20:45] ---**
    Do you know something, Lee?
**[20:48] ---**
    Shira has almost no skill
    in ninjutsu or genjutsu.
**[20:55] ---**
    Shira and I are alike…
**[20:58] ---**
    We're shinobi who can
    only perform taijutsu.
**[22:39] ---**
    I am raging with anger!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Shira has been through
    way more than I have.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Why do you all insult him?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    You are comrades from
    the same village!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Please apologize to Shira.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Until you apologize,
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    I'll never…!

**[01:30] ---**
    *As a Taijutsu User*
    
    
**[01:35] ---**
    Shira has almost no skill for
    ninjutsu or genjutsu…
**[01:42] ---**
    Shira and I are alike…
**[01:45] ---**
    We're shinobi who
    can only perform taijutsu.
**[01:49] ---**
    So you knew.
**[01:56] ---**
    I realized it yesterday
    when we exchanged punches.
**[02:04] ---**
    Those who are skilled in ninjutsu
    and genjutsu may not notice
**[02:08] ---**
    that slight, yet unique difference.
**[02:10] ---**
    I sensed that he was like me.
**[02:12] ---**
    Since you know that much,
    let me explain.
**[02:15] ---**
    In Hidden Sand Village,
    not even the previous Kazekage
**[02:18] ---**
    would allow people like Shira
    to become shinobi.
**[02:22] ---**
    But that's—! Even a great taijutsu user
    like Shira?!
**[02:26] ---**
    That's right. That's why until just recently…
**[02:30] ---**
    SHINOBI ACADEMY
    
    
    Shira wasn't allowed to attend the Academy
    and was treated like an outsider.
**[02:39] ---**
    Hey! What're you staring at?
    You can't even use ninjutsu!
**[02:45] ---**
    Go away! Your uselessness is contagious!
**[02:58] ---**
    *But Shira refused to give up*
    *and believed in himself.*
**[03:25] ---**
    *He kept training all by himself*
    *and honed his taijutsu.*
**[03:29] ---**
    *Then, the times changed…*
**[03:31] ---**
    *The seat was empty for a while*
**[03:33] ---**
    *after the Fourth Kazekage*
    *passed away…*
**[03:36] ---**
    *but eventually Lord Gaara*
    *became the Fifth Kazekage.*
**[03:39] ---**
    *Those who knew*
    *Lord Gaara's past*
**[03:42] ---**
    *spread rumors that*
    *our village was doomed,*
**[03:44] ---**
    *but that wasn't the case.*
**[03:50] ---**
    *Lord Gaara was receptive*
    *to other people's opinions…*
**[03:53] ---**
    *and one by one, he did away with*
    *the previous Kazekage's practices*
**[03:56] ---**
    *and instituted reforms.*
**[04:02] ---**
    That's Lord Gaara?
**[04:04] ---**
    Yeah. He's the younger brother
    of Temari,
**[04:07] ---**
    the girl we used to play with
    when we were kids.
**[04:17] ---**
    What happened to the huge boulder
    that was used to prevent sand erosion?
**[04:22] ---**
    Well…
**[04:34] ---**
    Bring me the one
    who destroyed this.
**[04:43] ---**
    Are you Shira?
**[04:44] ---**
    You knew that boulder
    was placed there
**[04:47] ---**
    to protect Hidden Sand Village.
**[04:48] ---**
    Why did you destroy it?
**[04:50] ---**
    I am very sorry.
**[04:52] ---**
    I had no intention of
    destroying it.
**[04:55] ---**
    To me, that boulder was
    an invaluable training partner.
**[05:00] ---**
    Are you saying you destroyed it
    during training?
**[05:02] ---**
    I was told you are not
    a student at the Academy.
**[05:06] ---**
    No.
**[05:08] ---**
    I don't have any skills in
    ninjutsu or genjutsu.
**[05:12] ---**
    According to the village rules,
**[05:14] ---**
    someone like me is unfit
    to be a shinobi.
**[05:18] ---**
    So you trained all by yourself?
**[05:23] ---**
    Interesting…
**[05:34] ---**
    I want to see which
    is more valuable…
**[05:37] ---**
    That boulder or you!
**[06:05] ---**
    Your fist is splendid!
**[06:08] ---**
    Please forgive me!
**[06:10] ---**
    I can't begin to imagine
    the effort it took for you,
**[06:13] ---**
    banned from the Academy, to hone
    your skills to this level.
**[06:18] ---**
    I hereby abolish the rule established
    by my predecessor.
**[06:21] ---**
    Shira, you will be a shinobi.
**[06:28] ---**
    I once met someone just
    like you in Hidden Leaf Village.
**[06:38] ---**
    *Over here!*
**[06:47] ---**
    Through sheer perseverance,
    he has become a fine shinobi.
**[06:52] ---**
    Shira, I predict you will become
    as good a shinobi as he.
**[07:02] ---**
    That's how Shira finally
    became a shinobi.
**[07:05] ---**
    Not only that…
**[07:08] ---**
    Lord Gaara recognized
    Shira's character and
**[07:10] ---**
    chose him to be
    his personal taijutsu coach.
**[07:12] ---**
    To be named the Kazekage's
    taijutsu coach is a huge advancement!
**[07:16] ---**
    But this displeased many.
**[07:21] ---**
    When someone who until just recently
    was below your rank
**[07:26] ---**
    attains great success,
    people become jealous…
**[07:29] ---**
    I understand now.
**[07:31] ---**
    Changing people's perceptions
    takes time.
**[07:34] ---**
    I see, so that's why Shira
    said that to me…
**[07:39] ---**
    *I don't know what it is you sensed,*
**[07:42] ---**
    *but dwelling on the misfortunes*
    *of birth is meaningless.*
**[07:46] ---**
    *Because, for all one's flaws*
    *and suffering, we have just one life.*
**[07:50] ---**
    *Shira, you persevered*
    *so much, and yet…*
**[07:55] ---**
    I'll never forgive the ones
    who did this to you!
**[08:00] ---**
    Lee!
**[08:01] ---**
    That idiot… Don't tell me he's going to…
**[08:08] ---**
    *I wasn't good at using*
    *my chakra…*
**[08:10] ---**
    *so everyone belittled me…*
**[08:14] ---**
    Stupid! There's no way
    you'll become a ninja!
**[08:18] ---**
    There's no way a chump
    who can't even use ninjutsu
**[08:20] ---**
    can become a ninja!
**[08:22] ---**
    Yes, I will!
**[08:23] ---**
    Whatever…
**[08:25] ---**
    The fact that you're even in
    the academy is nonsense.
**[08:27] ---**
    You don’t have ninjutsu
    or genjutsu skills,
**[08:30] ---**
    and your taijutsu is below average!
**[08:32] ---**
    Do you know what
    everyone calls you here?
**[08:40] ---**
    All right, as of today,
    you're all genin.
**[08:43] ---**
    So I'd like to know what it is
    you're all aiming for!
**[08:47] ---**
    I don't want to answer…
**[08:49] ---**
    Sensei!
**[08:50] ---**
    I'd like to prove that I can
    become a respectable shinobi
**[08:53] ---**
    even though I can't use
    ninjutsu or genjutsu!
**[08:56] ---**
    That would mean everything to me!
**[08:59] ---**
    Hey! What's so funny?!
**[09:02] ---**
    If you can't use ninjutsu
    or genjutsu,
**[09:05] ---**
    you're already out as a ninja.
**[09:09] ---**
    Lee, you just won't learn
    your lesson, will you?
**[09:13] ---**
    There's no way you can win.
**[09:14] ---**
    Unlike you, Neji is…
**[09:18] ---**
    …a genius.
**[09:20] ---**
    It’s useless, Lee…
**[09:22] ---**
    No matter how much effort
    you make,
**[09:24] ---**
    there's no way you can
    take me down.
**[09:26] ---**
    That’s just fact.
**[09:32] ---**
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[09:35] ---**
    If I can't do 500 push-ups,
**[09:37] ---**
    I'll jump rope
    and do 1200 double unders!
**[09:43] ---**
    If I can't do that,
    I'll log kick 2000 times!
**[09:46] ---**
    1116…1117…
**[10:01] ---**
    Lee! Are you taking
    a break already?
**[10:07] ---**
    What is it, Guy Sensei?
**[10:10] ---**
    If it's about my blunder during
    the recent mission,
**[10:13] ---**
    I believe I have already apologized!
**[10:19] ---**
    Lee, it's true you're different
    from Neji.
**[10:22] ---**
    You have no ninjutsu
    or genjutsu skills,
**[10:24] ---**
    and you're no taijutsu expert either…
**[10:27] ---**
    But Lee…
**[10:29] ---**
    You have powers
    that can exceed Neji's…
**[10:32] ---**
    You're a genius with
    hidden potential.
**[10:36] ---**
    If you're trying to
    make me feel better, please stop.
**[10:39] ---**
    I'm not trying to make you feel better
    or anything!
**[10:42] ---**
    The reason is that you are…
**[10:44] ---**
    a genius of hard work!
**[10:47] ---**
    There's no point in
    working hard
**[10:49] ---**
    if you don't believe in yourself!
**[10:52] ---**
    *I hung in there because*
    *I believe in myself.*
**[10:56] ---**
    *Shira… You're just like me!*
**[11:00] ---**
    *In fact, since you weren't able*
    *to attend the Academy,*
**[11:03] ---**
    *you must have trained*
    *much harder than me!*
**[11:06] ---**
    *I won't forgive the ones who*
    *were contemptuous of your efforts!*
**[11:29] ---**
    This is—!
**[11:44] ---**
    Damn it…
**[11:45] ---**
    If you guys hadn't run off,
    we could've obtained a scroll.
**[11:49] ---**
    That team with the Byakugan user
    is the one Shira warned us about.
**[11:53] ---**
    Better safe than sorry.
**[11:57] ---**
    By the way, they're not coming
    after us, are they?
**[12:00] ---**
    I used all those Paper Bombs,
**[12:03] ---**
    and that area has a lot
    of underground caverns…
**[12:07] ---**
    The explosions created
    a steeper cliff than I expected.
**[12:09] ---**
    It'll take them a while
    to make their way across.
**[12:12] ---**
    I wouldn't be so sure about that.
**[12:14] ---**
    Who's there?!
**[12:19] ---**
    The handsome blue beast of
    the Hidden Leaf, Rock Lee!
**[12:23] ---**
    You're that guy from earlier!
**[12:25] ---**
    What you did to Shira
    is unforgivable!
**[12:28] ---**
    Please apologize to Shira!
**[12:30] ---**
    Apologize to Shira?
**[12:32] ---**
    This guy's from the Hidden Leaf and
    he's siding with Shira?!
**[12:36] ---**
    When you believe
    in hard work and perseverance,
**[12:38] ---**
    it doesn't matter whether
    you're a friend or foe!
**[12:40] ---**
    That’s beside the point!
    How’d you get across that chasm?!
**[12:43] ---**
    I have invisible wings known
    as perseverance!
**[13:02] ---**
    Sometimes, perseverance…
**[13:03] ---**
    will turn into infinite wings that
    make the impossible possible!
**[13:08] ---**
    Until you apologize to Shira,
    my rage will not subside!
**[13:12] ---**
    Like hell we will!
**[13:14] ---**
    We know your weakness!
**[13:17] ---**
    Wind Style!
**[13:18] ---**
    Sandstorm Hurricane!
**[13:34] ---**
    This is genjutsu!
**[13:35] ---**
    Like Shira, you only specialize
    in taijutsu.
**[13:38] ---**
    So we'll just capitalize
    on your weaknesses!
**[13:40] ---**
    That's cowardly!
**[13:41] ---**
    Please fight me fair and square!
**[13:48] ---**
    What's cowardly?!
**[13:49] ---**
    It's your fault for not knowing ninjutsu!
**[13:53] ---**
    *Inside the Sandstorm Hurricane,*
**[13:55] ---**
    *countless sand particles*
    *collide against each other*
**[13:58] ---**
    *and create powerful*
    *electro-magnetic waves.*
**[13:59] ---**
    *Because of that,*
**[14:00] ---**
    *anyone caught inside it will continue*
    *to experience genjutsu.*
**[14:05] ---**
    It's about time to finish this!
**[14:09] ---**
    What?!
**[14:16] ---**
    Neji!
**[14:17] ---**
    Jeez! Are you crazy
    taking on six by yourself?
**[14:20] ---**
    Tenten! You two made it
    across too!
**[14:24] ---**
    If you made it, isn't it obvious
    we would too?!
**[14:30] ---**
    Damn it…
**[14:32] ---**
    We're a team!
    Don't go off on your own!
**[14:37] ---**
    I'm sorry! I just couldn't stand it…
**[14:40] ---**
    Well, we have no choice now.
**[14:42] ---**
    Let's go, Tenten!
**[14:44] ---**
    That's more like it!
**[14:45] ---**
    8 Trigrams…64 Palms!
**[15:00] ---**
    What’s their deal?
**[15:01] ---**
    They’re ridiculously strong!
**[15:03] ---**
    I would like some payback as well!
**[15:07] ---**
    Great Leaf Whirlwind!
**[15:09] ---**
    Wait, Lee!
**[15:12] ---**
    Please forgive them.
**[15:14] ---**
    Shira…!
**[15:16] ---**
    Why?
**[15:17] ---**
    Why would you defend them?!
**[15:19] ---**
    They betrayed you and
    put you through hell!
**[15:22] ---**
    Maybe they did.
    But it doesn't matter.
**[15:25] ---**
    How can you say
    it doesn't matter?!
**[15:28] ---**
    If they won't acknowledge me,
    I have only myself to blame.
**[15:32] ---**
    That's all.
**[15:37] ---**
    I already told you.
**[15:39] ---**
    Whatever my flaws
    and misfortunes,
**[15:40] ---**
    this is the life I was born into.
**[15:43] ---**
    I'm not bitter, and I bear no grudge.
**[15:48] ---**
    Good or bad, this is my life.
**[15:51] ---**
    I have only myself to blame
    for the bad
**[15:54] ---**
    because I didn't work hard enough.
**[15:56] ---**
    I don't want to blame anyone
    for the life I have.
**[16:02] ---**
    Shira…
**[16:03] ---**
    How can you say
    you didn't work hard enough?
**[16:11] ---**
    Shira! You are a man among men!
**[16:14] ---**
    The shinobi among shinobi!
**[16:16] ---**
    I've never been so moved
    in my life!
**[16:19] ---**
    Other than Guy Sensei,
    I've never met anyone so amazing!
**[16:23] ---**
    You get so carried away.
**[16:25] ---**
    It was really touching,
    until you ruined the mood.
**[16:34] ---**
    Take this.
**[16:35] ---**
    This way, at least one of
    our teams will pass.
**[16:40] ---**
    Damn it… Must you be so kind?
**[16:43] ---**
    Put yourself in our shoes, will you?
**[16:46] ---**
    Sorry.
**[16:47] ---**
    Why are you apologizing?
**[16:50] ---**
    You're right.
**[16:52] ---**
    But if you take this,
    what about you guys…?
**[16:55] ---**
    We'll figure something out.
**[16:59] ---**
    Why would you go so far?
**[17:01] ---**
    Is it all for Lord Gaara?
**[17:04] ---**
    Until recently, he was
    a brutal shinobi who'd kill anyone.
**[17:08] ---**
    People don't change so easily!
**[17:10] ---**
    I realize that.
**[17:13] ---**
    But Lord Gaara and I
    are the same…
**[17:16] ---**
    That's what I believe.
**[17:19] ---**
    I can tell from training with him.
**[17:21] ---**
    Lord Gaara bitterly regrets
    his past actions.
**[17:25] ---**
    And he knows that atonement
    won't come easy.
**[17:31] ---**
    And yet, Lord Gaara keeps
    pushing forward.
**[17:36] ---**
    Because despite what
    people think of him…
**[17:38] ---**
    he believes that persevering
    is the best thing to do right now.
**[17:44] ---**
    I don't care about
    who I am right now…
**[17:47] ---**
    As long as I'm not ashamed of
    the man I am in the future.
**[17:52] ---**
    Oh, the words that come out
    of your mouth!
**[17:55] ---**
    You're absolutely right!
**[17:56] ---**
    What counts is the man
    that you are in the future!
**[17:59] ---**
    Okay, okay…
    We heard you, pipe down!
**[18:03] ---**
    We…can't accept that.
**[18:07] ---**
    Hey, give him your scroll.
**[18:17] ---**
    Why?!
**[18:19] ---**
    We have our pride too.
**[18:22] ---**
    We lost this battle.
**[18:24] ---**
    So we're handing you our scroll.
**[18:30] ---**
    But we're not about
    to give up just yet.
**[18:33] ---**
    We’ll prove it by obtaining the scrolls
    from the other teams.
**[18:36] ---**
    Let's go!
**[18:40] ---**
    Why did they...?
**[18:42] ---**
    They realized that they don’t want to
    be ashamed of themselves in the future.
**[18:52] ---**
    Shira!
**[18:56] ---**
    Um…
**[18:58] ---**
    Thank you.
**[19:00] ---**
    Thanks to you, it looks like Shira will
    have a place in the Hidden Sand.
**[19:06] ---**
    We didn't do anything.
**[19:08] ---**
    Shira did it with his own strength and
    a little help from our taijutsu-idiot.
**[19:13] ---**
    He’s very honest…
    He might be a little like our Shira.
**[19:17] ---**
    Uh, I don't think so.
**[19:18] ---**
    His weird clothes, his hair,
    or his eyebrows…
**[19:22] ---**
    They're not alike at all!
**[19:25] ---**
    That’s true... He’s right up there
    with Naruto in stupidity.
**[19:28] ---**
    Naruto?
**[19:29] ---**
    A shinobi from our village.
    He’s on a journey right now.
**[19:33] ---**
    We’ve heard of him.
**[19:36] ---**
    Lord Gaara speaks of a shinobi
    who changed him.
**[19:39] ---**
    I'm sure the name was Naruto.
**[19:43] ---**
    I wonder what he's up to now?
**[20:01] ---**
    Neji… Tenten…
**[20:02] ---**
    This has nothing to do
    with the Second Exam…
**[20:06] ---**
    But I have a favor to ask.
**[20:07] ---**
    Uh-oh… Here we go…
**[20:13] ---**
    I never want to go through
    something like last time!
**[20:19] ---**
    *Sasuke beat Gaara of the Sand*
    *against whom I was no match…*
**[20:24] ---**
    *And Naruto beat Neji*
    *whom I longed to defeat…*
**[20:30] ---**
    *Why? Why does it always*
    *turn out like this?*
**[20:33] ---**
    You wouldn't have listened to us
    even if we tried to stop you, right?
**[20:37] ---**
    Right!
**[20:38] ---**
    Shira! I want to fight you!
**[20:42] ---**
    Because we both seek
    to master taijutsu, please fight me!
**[20:47] ---**
    If I can face you in battle,
**[20:48] ---**
    I'll have no regrets from
    these Chunin Exams!
**[20:52] ---**
    Fine with me, Lee.
**[20:54] ---**
    To be honest,
    I've wanted to fight you!
**[22:38] ---**
    Shira! I will show you
    how serious I am!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    This is my last fight.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Last?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Lee, it’s all because of you,
    that I can be a shinobi.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    I’m grateful to you.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It might have been your fists
    that changed Lord Gaara.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Ultimate"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Let me express my gratitude
    to you with my seriousness!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS
    ~ The PATH TRAVELED
    THE ULTIMATE

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Ultimate*
    
    
    
**[01:46] ---**
    Huh?!
**[01:48] ---**
    PERSEVERANCE
**[01:53] ---**
    I didn't know Lee kept going
    with that training.
**[01:57] ---**
    *We're in the middle*
    *of the Chunin Exams!*
**[01:59] ---**
    *What is he thinking?*
**[02:03] ---**
    Shira! I will show
    you how serious I am!
**[02:08] ---**
    Let me warn you…
**[02:09] ---**
    Shira's super strong!
**[02:18] ---**
    I've become strong too!
**[02:21] ---**
    This is my last fight.
**[02:24] ---**
    Last?
**[02:28] ---**
    Here I come, Lee!
**[02:38] ---**
    What is this?
    Their speed is ridiculous!
**[02:41] ---**
    A battle of powerful fists…
**[02:44] ---**
    It's not something
    you get to see often.
**[02:47] ---**
    *He stopped my jutsu.*
**[02:52] ---**
    *He countered every move?!*
**[02:57] ---**
    *If I could, I would have liked*
    *to fight him too.*
**[03:02] ---**
    *Amazing…*
**[03:03] ---**
    *I haven't faced*
    *a taijutsu user this strong*
**[03:06] ---**
    *since Guy Sensei and Neji!*
**[03:08] ---**
    *He has a fine technique…*
**[03:09] ---**
    *I feel his passion in*
    *every punch he throws.*
**[03:12] ---**
    *The intensity of his training*
    *comes across clearly.*
**[03:25] ---**
    Lee!
**[03:26] ---**
    I'm grateful to you.
**[03:30] ---**
    Perhaps it's all because of you
    that I can be a shinobi.
**[03:36] ---**
    Lord Gaara said
    this to me back then…
**[03:40] ---**
    *I once met someone just like you*
    *in Hidden Leaf Village.*
**[03:46] ---**
    *Through sheer determination,*
    *he has become a fine shinobi.*
**[03:51] ---**
    *Shira… I predict you will be*
    *as good a shinobi as he.*
**[04:00] ---**
    It might have been your fists
    that changed Lord Gaara.
**[04:03] ---**
    No, I had nothing to do with that!
**[04:08] ---**
    It was your perseverance
    that moved Lord Gaara.
**[04:13] ---**
    Lee, I'm going to show you
    my gratitude in earnest!
**[04:16] ---**
    Well said!
**[04:17] ---**
    That is the creed
    of those of us
**[04:19] ---**
    who are dedicated to
    the mastery of taijutsu.
**[04:21] ---**
    They seem to be enjoying this.
**[04:23] ---**
    Maybe Lee has met someone
    he can consider a true rival.
**[04:29] ---**
    You can only go so far
    training alone.
**[04:32] ---**
    Having a rival is what
    helps you surpass those limits.
**[04:35] ---**
    I see.
**[04:36] ---**
    Do you have a rival, Neji?
**[04:40] ---**
    My rival?
**[04:43] ---**
    *I don't know what*
    *the Hyuga destiny of hatred is!*
**[04:46] ---**
    *But if you're going to*
    *say it's futile,*
**[04:48] ---**
    *you don't have to do anything!*
**[04:50] ---**
    *After I become the Hokage…*
**[04:52] ---**
    *I'll change the Hyuga!*
**[04:55] ---**
    *You're the only one*
    *who can be my rival…*
**[04:59] ---**
    *So hurry up and*
    *come home, Naruto!*
**[05:05] ---**
    Neither one of them has delivered
    a decisive blow yet.
**[05:08] ---**
    They're just sizing
    each other up right now.
**[05:11] ---**
    What?
**[05:11] ---**
    They're not fighting at
    their full potential?
**[05:14] ---**
    It's more like 50%.
**[05:16] ---**
    How much can a body endure?
**[05:19] ---**
    If they stay evenly matched like this…
**[05:20] ---**
    No…
**[05:22] ---**
    They're not quite equal.
**[05:23] ---**
    Huh? They're not?
**[05:26] ---**
    They're equal in speed and in
    the number of moves they have…
**[05:30] ---**
    But Shira's physique is
    a full size bigger than Lee's.
**[05:35] ---**
    In boxing, the difference
    in body weight
**[05:36] ---**
    influences the intensity of the blow.
**[05:38] ---**
    While they may look
    evenly matched,
**[05:40] ---**
    Lee with his smaller build…
**[05:41] ---**
    Is sustaining more damage?
**[05:44] ---**
    Lee should be feeling
    the effects pretty soon.
**[05:48] ---**
    *Blow for blow, Shira's punches*
    *are harder than mine!*
**[05:52] ---**
    *At this rate…*
**[05:58] ---**
    Lee!
**[06:13] ---**
    That stance!
**[06:14] ---**
    Don't tell me Lee plans
    to use the Lotus!
**[06:16] ---**
    It's too dangerous!
**[06:18] ---**
    But he is an opponent
    who is worth that risk!
**[06:38] ---**
    *No way!*
    *The First Gate won't open!*
**[06:40] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[06:51] ---**
    You hit my Chakra Points and
    stopped the flow of chakra!
**[06:54] ---**
    As a taijutsu user like you,
**[06:56] ---**
    I know all your strengths
    and weaknesses.
**[06:58] ---**
    As well as the fact that you are
    versed in the secret jutsu,
**[07:01] ---**
    the Eight Inner Gates!
**[07:04] ---**
    From now, I mean business!
**[07:12] ---**
    Shira switched his mode.
**[07:14] ---**
    He's getting serious now!
**[07:20] ---**
    Here I come, Lee!
**[07:27] ---**
    What's happening?!
**[07:28] ---**
    All of a sudden, his attacks
    became relentless and accurate!
**[07:31] ---**
    This is—!
**[07:36] ---**
    The sound!
**[07:37] ---**
    Sound?!
**[07:38] ---**
    His attacks are silent!
**[07:41] ---**
    We taijutsu users can
    counter supersonic moves
**[07:45] ---**
    because we have honed
    our five senses.
**[07:48] ---**
    One of those senses
    is hearing.
**[07:50] ---**
    I remember…
**[07:52] ---**
    *Lee said he once fought a shinobi*
    *from the Hidden Sound*
**[07:54] ---**
    *who gave him a hard time!*
**[07:57] ---**
    This time, it's the exact opposite!
**[08:00] ---**
    Shira is making absolutely no noise!
**[08:02] ---**
    But how…?
**[08:04] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[08:11] ---**
    I see!
**[08:12] ---**
    It's the theory of the owl.
**[08:14] ---**
    The owl?
**[08:16] ---**
    Did you know that owls fly
    without making a sound?
**[08:20] ---**
    Owls have special
    comb-like feathers
**[08:23] ---**
    that muffle the sound
    of their flapping wings.
**[08:27] ---**
    Using chakra that can only
    be used with taijutsu,
**[08:30] ---**
    he's cloaked himself with
    the same type of feathers.
**[08:34] ---**
    To come up with something
    like that all by himself…
**[08:37] ---**
    What a waste to consider
    someone like that an enemy.
**[08:47] ---**
    Silent Fist!
**[08:48] ---**
    See if you can take this, Lee!
**[08:51] ---**
    *How can I…?*
**[08:53] ---**
    *There's no point in working hard*
    *if you don't believe in yourself!*
**[08:58] ---**
    *Yes! I've trained and worked*
    *just as hard as Shira!*
**[09:03] ---**
    999…1000!
**[09:11] ---**
    Now, 1000 sit-ups!
**[09:15] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[09:16] ---**
    I am serious!
**[09:17] ---**
    Wait, wait, wait!
**[09:19] ---**
    Enough bodybuilding!
**[09:22] ---**
    You're in far better physical
    condition than we are, Lee.
**[09:27] ---**
    But Guy Sensei, I've never beaten
    you or Neji even once!
**[09:31] ---**
    That's because
    you don't use this.
**[09:34] ---**
    Use my head for taijutsu?
**[09:37] ---**
    Certainly!
**[09:39] ---**
    It can be said that
    mental visualization
**[09:41] ---**
    is a fundamental part of taijutsu.
**[09:43] ---**
    When I weave a sign,
    I'm already seeing 100 moves ahead.
**[09:47] ---**
    What?! Is such a thing possible?!
**[09:50] ---**
    Yes, it's possible!
**[09:52] ---**
    Through visualization alone,
    if I'm going to fight Kakashi,
**[09:56] ---**
    I can now see
    1000 moves ahead.
**[10:00] ---**
    Th-That far?
**[10:07] ---**
    Hey, is that true?
**[10:09] ---**
    Who knows?
**[10:12] ---**
    For example, if I attack
    with a right seiken fist…
**[10:17] ---**
    Lee, what would your 50th move be?
**[10:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:21] ---**
    What technique is your 50th move!
**[10:25] ---**
    Well…
**[10:27] ---**
    Let's see…
**[10:29] ---**
    A right thrust!
**[10:31] ---**
    Wrong!
**[10:34] ---**
    Then… A clockwise kick!
**[10:36] ---**
    Correct!
**[10:38] ---**
    So what is your 100th move?!
**[10:42] ---**
    Uh… A left heel kick!
**[10:43] ---**
    Wrong.
**[10:44] ---**
    The answer is
    a counter-clockwise kick.
**[10:47] ---**
    What?
**[10:49] ---**
    I will prove it to you right now!
**[10:53] ---**
    Ready?
**[11:08] ---**
    48…
**[11:09] ---**
    49…
**[11:11] ---**
    50.
**[11:13] ---**
    Continue!
**[11:14] ---**
    Sensei was right!
**[11:24] ---**
    98… 99…!
**[11:27] ---**
    100!
**[11:28] ---**
    Right again!
**[11:29] ---**
    I see…
**[11:31] ---**
    He's making that happen!
**[11:33] ---**
    Huh?
**[11:40] ---**
    That's amazing, Guy Sensei!
**[11:41] ---**
    What's your trick?
**[11:43] ---**
    It's not a trick.
**[11:45] ---**
    I just made you move the way
    I wanted you to. That's all.
**[11:49] ---**
    Made me move?
**[11:52] ---**
    Yes!
**[11:53] ---**
    I used counters that forced you
    to make certain moves.
**[11:57] ---**
    In battle, there is a sequence
    to techniques and jutsu.
**[12:00] ---**
    When you are in control
    of that flow,
**[12:02] ---**
    predicting what comes next
    is not difficult.
**[12:04] ---**
    Right now, I'm controlling
    the flow of battle, and as a result,
**[12:08] ---**
    you, my opponent who's physically
    stronger than me,
**[12:10] ---**
    have lost steam before me!
**[12:12] ---**
    That's true!
**[12:14] ---**
    Guy Sensei, you're not
    even breathing hard!
**[12:16] ---**
    By controlling the flow of battle,
**[12:18] ---**
    I was able to deplete your energy
    while preserving my own.
**[12:22] ---**
    There really aren't many chances to
    take down a foe in the midst of battle.
**[12:26] ---**
    The usual attack strategy is no more than
    an attempt to create such a chance!
**[12:31] ---**
    That's what I mean
    by using your head!
**[12:34] ---**
    *That's right!*
**[12:35] ---**
    *From opponents I've faced before,*
    *I pretty much know Shira's pattern.*
**[12:39] ---**
    *All I need to do is control the sequence*
    *of my opponent's moves.*
**[12:44] ---**
    *Then, even if his moves are silent,*
**[12:46] ---**
    *I can anticipate Shira's fist!*
**[12:59] ---**
    All right!
**[12:59] ---**
    What?!
**[13:02] ---**
    Lee's not getting hit anymore!
**[13:05] ---**
    Finally, Lee…
    You remembered that training!
**[13:12] ---**
    *He's countering so fast!*
**[13:14] ---**
    *I can't wait to see when*
    *he's giving it his all!*
**[13:27] ---**
    *He missed the Chakra Point!*
**[13:29] ---**
    *What's going on?*
**[13:31] ---**
    *Was it by chance?*
**[13:36] ---**
    *At this point…*
**[13:37] ---**
    *Guy Sensei would be able to activate*
    *the Sixth Gate instantly…*
**[13:39] ---**
    *That's impossible for me, however…*
**[13:45] ---**
    The Third Gate of Life! Open!
**[13:56] ---**
    He went straight to
    the Third Gate…
**[13:58] ---**
    So Lee's trained that far!
**[14:03] ---**
    So that's the rumored
    Eight Inner Gates...
**[14:07] ---**
    Well then…
**[14:12] ---**
    Seven Heavenly Breaths!
    First Activation!
**[14:17] ---**
    Second Activation!
**[14:20] ---**
    Third Activation!
**[14:23] ---**
    What is that?!
**[14:24] ---**
    It's a taijutsu breathing method
    that Shira came up with.
**[14:28] ---**
    It's a jutsu whereby inhaling
    large amounts of oxygen
**[14:30] ---**
    invigorates the entire body.
**[14:33] ---**
    When performing this technique,
**[14:35] ---**
    Shira's lung capacity increases
    nearly fourfold.
**[14:38] ---**
    So it's his version of
    the Eight Inner Gates.
**[14:41] ---**
    It's amazing that he came up
    with that all by himself…
**[14:44] ---**
    Those two really drive home the fact…
**[14:47] ---**
    that there is no limit
    to perseverance.
**[14:50] ---**
    No kidding!
**[14:52] ---**
    Lee! Shira!
**[14:54] ---**
    Do your best, both of you!
**[14:59] ---**
    Here I come, Shira!
**[15:01] ---**
    Anytime!
**[15:07] ---**
    Not yet!
**[15:10] ---**
    Fourth Gate of Pain! Open!
**[15:13] ---**
    Fifth Gate of Closing! Open!
**[15:30] ---**
    *So this is what you're like*
    *when you're serious!*
**[15:32] ---**
    *My chakra…my sound-muffling feathers*
    *are being blown away!*
**[15:36] ---**
    I'm starting to hear…
    the sound of your wings.
**[15:43] ---**
    Leaf Hurricane!
**[16:00] ---**
    I'm not done yet…
**[16:08] ---**
    Shira's wound has opened up!
**[16:10] ---**
    Shira!
**[16:12] ---**
    Shira!
**[16:14] ---**
    Are you okay, Shira?!
**[16:16] ---**
    Yeah…
**[16:22] ---**
    I guess we'll have to
    postpone this match.
**[16:29] ---**
    Lee, I envy you.
**[16:33] ---**
    I wish I could have trained under
    Guy Sensei at least once.
**[16:36] ---**
    Shira… Why did you release
    my Chakra Points?
**[16:41] ---**
    So you noticed?
**[16:44] ---**
    I wanted to fight you
**[16:45] ---**
    when you could give
    a hundred percent.
**[16:48] ---**
    As I expected, you are strong.
**[16:51] ---**
    It was a great experience.
**[16:54] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[16:55] ---**
    You were too reckless!
**[17:02] ---**
    Shira, I want you to have this.
**[17:04] ---**
    Guy Sensei gave it to me.
**[17:07] ---**
    This is what made me strong.
**[17:09] ---**
    It is a unique item with
    superior breathability
**[17:11] ---**
    and moisture-wicking qualities
    that lets you move easily!
**[17:14] ---**
    You'll see the difference
    when you train!
**[17:17] ---**
    You'll get attached
    to it immediately!
**[17:18] ---**
    Wear this…
    and we'll be brothers!
**[17:22] ---**
    Thanks… I accept it.
**[17:26] ---**
    Shira… You said earlier
    that this is the last time…
**[17:30] ---**
    In the Land of Wind,
**[17:31] ---**
    there is a battalion that guards
    the northern border.
**[17:34] ---**
    That battalion never leaves
    its station.
**[17:38] ---**
    The environment there
    is extremely harsh,
**[17:40] ---**
    so few candidates
    are willing to accept that mission.
**[17:42] ---**
    I plan to volunteer for it
    if I pass these Exams.
**[17:48] ---**
    It's near my hometown.
**[17:50] ---**
    My parents are sick and
    I want to be close to them.
**[17:54] ---**
    So I probably won't see
    any of you again.
**[17:58] ---**
    I see how it is...
**[18:00] ---**
    Shira… I had no idea.
**[18:04] ---**
    I guess that means I won't
    be seeing you around either, Yome.
**[18:07] ---**
    You're probably going
    to tag along, right?
**[18:14] ---**
    I have no regrets with my life.
**[18:17] ---**
    But I'm sure my life would
    have been more interesting
**[18:20] ---**
    if I had had a friend like you.
**[18:24] ---**
    I'm going to remember that as
    the greatest compliment from you!
**[18:28] ---**
    And I mean it as such, Lee,
    in all sincerity.
**[18:42] ---**
    Now we have two scrolls!
**[18:44] ---**
    Then let's head straight
    for home base!
**[18:49] ---**
    HEAVEN HEAVEN
**[18:53] ---**
    *So, when should I break*
    *the news to them...?*
**[19:03] ---**
    FUU TOCCHI KUN
    
    According to reports from
    the investigative team,
**[19:05] ---**
    FUU TOCCHI KUN
    
    two members of Team Fuu
    from the Hidden Waterfall…
**[19:07] ---**
    FUU TOCCHI KUN
    
    Tocchi and Kun…
    are actually not genin.
**[19:11] ---**
    It is believed they are jonin
    named Kegon and Yoro.
**[19:15] ---**
    Damn Hidden Waterfall…
**[19:16] ---**
    What are they scheming?
**[19:18] ---**
    Wait.
**[19:20] ---**
    Let me handle this.
**[19:23] ---**
    This information is not
    to go out of this room.
**[19:27] ---**
    – But!
    – But!
**[19:28] ---**
    The Second Exam will
    continue uninterrupted.
**[19:31] ---**
    Understood?!
**[19:35] ---**
    What is Lord Gaara thinking?!
**[19:59] ---**
    It will be sundown soon.
**[20:01] ---**
    Yes.
**[20:02] ---**
    From here, we'll be able to sense
    the enemy's presence right away.
**[20:05] ---**
    It's the perfect spot to make camp.
**[20:07] ---**
    So where's Fuu?
**[20:09] ---**
    Hey! She was over there
    just a second ago…
**[20:15] ---**
    Fuu!
**[20:18] ---**
    That brat! She's so carefree!
**[20:25] ---**
    What the—?!
**[20:28] ---**
    Poke, poke!
**[20:35] ---**
    Fuu! Don't go off on your own!
**[20:37] ---**
    Damn it!
**[20:38] ---**
    What if someone from
    another village attacked you?
**[20:41] ---**
    You are valuable to
    the Hidden Waterfall…!
**[20:44] ---**
    Okay, I get it! I'll be right there!
**[20:48] ---**
    Jeez! If you make such a fuss,
    you'll be discovered.
**[20:57] ---**
    Fuu…
**[20:58] ---**
    She's a...
**[22:36] ---**
    It's a good trick, eh?
    
    
**[22:38] ---**
    I thought we'd just wrap up
    the second stage of the exams
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    in a cool way, like this!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I think it's good!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    It's kind of like something
    Naruto would do...or...
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    This has nothing to do
    with Naruto!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    I wonder if Naruto's training
    right now?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    With this exam,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I'm going to be a chunin
    and get a leg up on him!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Escape vs. Pursuit"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Let's go, Kurenai's Team 8!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS ~
    THE PATH TRAVELED
    ESCAPE VS. PURSUIT
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Escape vs. Pursuit*
    
    
**[01:39] ---**
    It's a good trick, eh?
**[01:42] ---**
    I want to wrap things up
    in a cool way for the Second Exam.
**[01:47] ---**
    Akamaru gave it his seal
    of approval with his paws.
**[01:51] ---**
    It's not bad, but…
**[01:53] ---**
    I don't see what's so cool
    about it.
**[01:55] ---**
    I think it's good!
**[01:57] ---**
    It's a little slow,
    but it's trying hard to advance…
**[02:01] ---**
    It's kind of like something
    Naruto would do…or…
**[02:03] ---**
    This has nothing to do
    with Naruto!
**[02:05] ---**
    It's my idea, after all…
**[02:07] ---**
    You're right…
**[02:09] ---**
    But I wonder where
    Naruto is training
**[02:11] ---**
    with Jiraiya Sensei around now?
**[02:14] ---**
    Who knows!
**[02:29] ---**
    *What was that just now?*
**[02:31] ---**
    Kiba?
**[02:33] ---**
    Anyway, who cares how he's training?
**[02:36] ---**
    Let's pass these Chunin Exams
    and get a leg up on him!
**[02:41] ---**
    Let's go, Kurenai's Team 8!
**[02:59] ---**
    Damn scroll, damn scroll,
    damn scroll…
**[03:07] ---**
    How can we be so unlucky?
**[03:11] ---**
    So what, Kazami?
**[03:14] ---**
    We get to hunt…
    and I'm enjoying this.
**[03:19] ---**
    It's no fun, it's no fun, it's no fun!
**[03:23] ---**
    But I have a feeling…
**[03:24] ---**
    that Lady Luck will be on
    our side next time!
**[03:29] ---**
    Burami, Muyami! We can do it!
**[03:32] ---**
    I know we can!
**[03:33] ---**
    We've got it!
**[03:37] ---**
    Three cheers for us!
**[03:38] ---**
    Hip, hip, hooray!
**[03:45] ---**
    Weren't you going
    for a cool finish?
**[03:47] ---**
    I couldn't help it.
    It didn't go right.
**[03:50] ---**
    We don't even know what kind
    of scroll we're fighting for,
**[03:53] ---**
    and that's not cool.
**[03:56] ---**
    So what do you suggest?
**[03:58] ---**
    Hinata, can't you do something?
**[04:01] ---**
    You can, right?
**[04:02] ---**
    Like using your Byakugan
    to search for Heaven scrolls.
**[04:06] ---**
    I can't go so far as seeing
    what kind of scroll it is.
**[04:08] ---**
    Kiba! Hush!
**[04:11] ---**
    Do you think someone heard us?
**[04:16] ---**
    It's all right!
**[04:18] ---**
    You sure about that?
**[04:21] ---**
    Our hunch was right on target.
**[04:23] ---**
    Luck has smiled upon us!
**[04:26] ---**
    Fools! Those guys are
    fools, fools, fools!
**[04:29] ---**
    Hidden Leaf rivals!
    We heard you loud and clear!
**[04:33] ---**
    Now that's good to know.
**[04:34] ---**
    Otherwise, our little charade
    would've been wasted...
**[04:37] ---**
    since we did it
    just so you'd hear us.
**[04:41] ---**
    Since you fell for the bait
    and showed up, your scroll must be…
**[04:46] ---**
    Heaven!
**[04:47] ---**
    What…?
**[04:48] ---**
    We both have
    what the other wants.
**[04:50] ---**
    So let's get down to business…
    and try to get it!
**[04:54] ---**
    Fine! We accept your challenge!
**[05:28] ---**
    You smell, don't you?
**[05:31] ---**
    You're thinking
    the same thing too, right, Akamaru?
**[05:34] ---**
    This guy is strong.
**[05:45] ---**
    Ninja Art! Beast Mimicry.
**[05:50] ---**
    Man Beast Clone!
**[05:55] ---**
    Damn it! Well then…
**[06:01] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[06:08] ---**
    *This guy's belly…absorbs my attack*
    *and fires it back!*
**[06:17] ---**
    *Byakugan!*
**[06:19] ---**
    *I see them…*
**[06:20] ---**
    *361 chakra points…*
**[06:23] ---**
    *I'll make the first move!*
**[06:37] ---**
    *So this is the Hyuga's famed*
    *Gentle Fist…*
**[06:40] ---**
    *Her goal is to pierce my pressure points*
    *to manipulate my chakra…*
**[06:44] ---**
    *Well then, I'll just take*
    *advantage of the air!*
**[06:57] ---**
    *He uses that flag to change the flow*
    *and shape of the air currents…*
**[07:02] ---**
    Will you cut through it?
**[07:06] ---**
    I'll crush you!
**[07:11] ---**
    Protective 8 Trigrams 64 Palms!
**[07:22] ---**
    Don't let this awkward silence
    bother you.
**[07:25] ---**
    The reason is because,
**[07:26] ---**
    it's our first meeting and
    there's nothing I want to ask you.
**[07:35] ---**
    I'm shy…
**[07:36] ---**
    so I'm going to excuse myself.
**[07:55] ---**
    All right! Come at me!
**[08:00] ---**
    Akamaru!
**[08:01] ---**
    Don't slam into him!
    Just bite him!
**[08:14] ---**
    Ouch!
**[08:29] ---**
    I'm bleeding!
**[08:31] ---**
    Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
**[08:34] ---**
    All right! One more time!
**[08:56] ---**
    We got you! We got you!
**[09:02] ---**
    Thanks for the scroll!
**[09:10] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:24] ---**
    Damn it! How the hell...?!
**[09:29] ---**
    First thing we did was to
    watch you all battle
**[09:31] ---**
    and figure out who had
    what scroll.
**[09:34] ---**
    It was easy…
**[09:36] ---**
    You put an unusual amount
    of strength on your side.
**[09:54] ---**
    Once we knew who had
    the scroll, we all attacked.
**[10:04] ---**
    They pulled a fast one on us.
**[10:06] ---**
    No way!
**[10:08] ---**
    It's all thanks to me.
**[10:10] ---**
    I'm the one who saw the scroll!
**[10:12] ---**
    It's because we had
    a good combo!
**[10:15] ---**
    I did it! I did it!
**[10:17] ---**
    Shut up!
**[10:19] ---**
    That scroll belongs to us!
**[10:24] ---**
    *Ninja Art…*
**[10:27] ---**
    *Smell Sphere!*
**[10:45] ---**
    My body…is getting numb…
**[10:49] ---**
    I can't move…
**[10:50] ---**
    This shockwave feels like
    it's piercing straight through my head.
**[10:57] ---**
    Akamaru and I can identify it.
**[11:00] ---**
    It's a scent…!
**[11:02] ---**
    It's something we've never
    smelled before…
**[11:04] ---**
    It's an unbelievable scent explosion!
**[11:13] ---**
    It's a special scent that
    I ferment inside my body.
**[11:17] ---**
    Want some more?
**[11:21] ---**
    Why you—!
**[11:25] ---**
    Kiba, you two…
    With your keen sense of smell…
**[11:28] ---**
    this must be overpowering.
**[11:30] ---**
    Are you okay, Kiba?!
**[11:33] ---**
    Damn it… I'm not okay!
**[11:35] ---**
    My nose feels like
    it's on fire…Oww!
**[11:43] ---**
    It's all thanks to me.
**[11:45] ---**
    I did this, right?
**[11:47] ---**
    Burami, get this through
    your thick skull!
**[11:49] ---**
    It's because of our teamwork!
**[11:52] ---**
    Damn it!
**[11:56] ---**
    Akamaru!
**[12:00] ---**
    Kiba!
**[12:18] ---**
    What? You're not supposed
    to be standing…
**[12:21] ---**
    You're not supposed
    to be walking…
**[12:22] ---**
    So how? How?
**[12:24] ---**
    So they're not about
    to give up yet, eh?
**[12:28] ---**
    That's their teamwork…
**[12:38] ---**
    I swear I'll get it back!
**[12:41] ---**
    That's our scroll!
**[12:43] ---**
    Right! We're not giving up
    until we get it back!
**[12:47] ---**
    That's because we can't give up
    on becoming chunin!
**[12:51] ---**
    So annoying.
**[12:55] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[13:01] ---**
    Moguranmaru!
**[13:04] ---**
    We're done with these guys!
**[13:07] ---**
    Let's get going.
**[13:11] ---**
    I want a ride too!
**[13:13] ---**
    Don't track any mud in here.
**[13:15] ---**
    It's so crowded…and it stinks!
**[13:18] ---**
    This is teamwork!
**[13:22] ---**
    Why you—!
    Trying to run away?!
**[13:24] ---**
    I won't let you!
**[13:26] ---**
    Our team specializes in snatching
    our target item in enemy territory
**[13:29] ---**
    and taking it home without fail.
**[13:33] ---**
    We got what we came for.
    This battle is over.
**[13:37] ---**
    You guys can't touch us now.
**[13:41] ---**
    Bye!
**[13:51] ---**
    You guys! Stop! Hey!
**[13:57] ---**
    Well, that's fine with us.
**[13:58] ---**
    Brag all you want about
    your ability to get away.
**[14:01] ---**
    Team Kurenai has the power
    of sensory perception.
**[14:04] ---**
    We're pros at tracking!
**[14:06] ---**
    And we've got a cool guy
**[14:08] ---**
    who assesses every situation calmly
    and initializes action!
**[14:10] ---**
    Shino!
**[14:11] ---**
    We're already in contact.
**[14:15] ---**
    That's because my insects
    are attached to that mole.
**[14:26] ---**
    I attached female insects…
**[14:28] ---**
    and nothing will stop
    the males of that species
**[14:31] ---**
    from chasing their delicate scent.
**[14:38] ---**
    My nose is still useless.
    So is Akamaru's.
**[14:43] ---**
    We're counting on your insects!
**[14:45] ---**
    Don't worry.
    I've got this covered.
**[15:02] ---**
    They're close!
**[15:03] ---**
    The mole is under there somewhere!
**[15:05] ---**
    All right!
**[15:11] ---**
    What is it, Ranmaru?
**[15:28] ---**
    Damn it!
**[15:29] ---**
    It sensed the insects!
**[15:36] ---**
    This is why I said not
    to track in any mud!
**[15:39] ---**
    Ranmaru has really sensitive skin
    and is a clean freak!
**[15:43] ---**
    They're escaping underground again!
**[15:46] ---**
    Damn!
**[15:47] ---**
    It's all right. We're close enough
    that I can see them!
**[15:51] ---**
    They may be in the sand,
    but I won't lose them!
**[15:53] ---**
    Hinata!
**[15:54] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[16:01] ---**
    I see them! Over at 10 o'clock!
**[16:03] ---**
    Got it! They're not getting away!
**[16:09] ---**
    They're turning towards 1 o'clock!
**[16:11] ---**
    Hinata! How close am I
    to that mole?!
**[16:17] ---**
    Six meters!
**[16:19] ---**
    Akamaru! Man Beast Clone!
**[16:21] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[16:37] ---**
    Target's changing directions!
**[16:39] ---**
    10 o'clock, seven meters!
**[16:42] ---**
    I won't let ‘em get away!
**[16:49] ---**
    This time…
**[16:50] ---**
    I won't miss!
**[16:52] ---**
    Go straight on ahead!
**[16:53] ---**
    Five meters! Four meters!
**[16:55] ---**
    I'm gonna close in
    just a bit more…
**[16:57] ---**
    Three meters!
**[17:01] ---**
    W-What…?!
**[17:07] ---**
    What is this?
**[17:08] ---**
    The sand is getting
    softer and softer…
**[17:21] ---**
    What?
**[17:22] ---**
    Is this game of tag over already?
**[17:26] ---**
    This isn't good.
    The sand is like…
**[17:29] ---**
    Yes, it's like a bottomless swamp…
**[17:32] ---**
    I'm sinking quickly…
**[17:35] ---**
    This is what they were after.
**[17:38] ---**
    And we fell for it…
    hook, line and sinker.
**[17:48] ---**
    Akamaru!
**[17:52] ---**
    Sink! Sink! Sink!
**[18:02] ---**
    Hinata!
**[18:05] ---**
    So this is…it…
**[18:09] ---**
    Shino!
**[18:27] ---**
    No one will come after us now.
**[18:30] ---**
    Our team wins.
**[18:32] ---**
    Actually, I outshined the rest
    of the team.
**[18:37] ---**
    It was all because my Moguranmaru
    came through for us.
**[18:40] ---**
    You guys don't get it.
**[18:43] ---**
    In any case, it will be smooth ride
    to the finish line.
**[18:47] ---**
    We just aced the Second Exam.
**[19:03] ---**
    Akamaru!
**[19:10] ---**
    Akamaru! Get a hold of yourself!
**[19:13] ---**
    Hey!
**[19:34] ---**
    Akamaru!
**[19:38] ---**
    Good boy, Akamaru!
**[19:45] ---**
    It was all thanks
    to your Marking!
**[19:53] ---**
    That was really quick thinking!
**[19:57] ---**
    If we didn't smell like urine,
    it would've been perfect…
**[20:02] ---**
    Don't worry, Akamaru.
**[20:04] ---**
    It's not too smelly.
    I'm fine with it.
**[20:07] ---**
    No… It stinks.
**[20:09] ---**
    Kiba!
**[20:11] ---**
    My nose is working again.
**[20:15] ---**
    Hinata, can you pursue those guys
    with your Byakugan?
**[20:33] ---**
    They're out of range
    for my Byakugan…
**[20:35] ---**
    Well then… It's my turn!
**[20:41] ---**
    I smell them.
**[20:43] ---**
    It's the big guy's intense
    body odor!
**[20:50] ---**
    We're not giving up!
**[20:52] ---**
    We'll chase them to the depths of hell
    and definitely get the scroll back!
**[20:57] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[22:37] ---**
    The scent's gone!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Damn it!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    What do we do?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    There's no reason to despair.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    That's because if we lose
    our sense of smell,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    we still have the sense of sight.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    But they're outside
    the range of the Byakugan…
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Then we'll go to
    the outermost range!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Bugs… We're depending on you!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Unwavering Gutsiness"
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    We'll get back both
    the Heaven and Earth scrolls!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS ~
    THE PATH TRAVELED
    UNWAVERING GUTSINESS
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**

**[00:14] ---**
    I just caught a whiff…
**[00:17] ---**
    You finally notice
    what you smell like?
**[00:20] ---**
    Not me.
**[00:23] ---**
    When you deal with things
    that smell,
**[00:26] ---**
    your nose becomes sensitive
    to all kinds of scents.
**[00:29] ---**
    What do you smell?
**[00:31] ---**
    The loud-mouthed guy.
**[00:33] ---**
    I'd recognize
    his mongrel smell anywhere.
**[00:35] ---**
    Them…?!
**[00:37] ---**
    Are you telling me they managed
    to climb out of the sand?!
**[00:40] ---**
    It's more fun this way.
**[00:42] ---**
    We're back to the chase!
    We can play tag!
**[00:46] ---**
    It's no fun for me at all.
**[00:47] ---**
    – No matter how hard they try,
    – This place is so hot and open.
**[00:49] ---**
    – they can't catch up to us.
    – Give me a nice corner to snuggle up in.
**[00:53] ---**
    Then let's do this.
**[00:57] ---**
    Poor Hidden Leaf.
**[01:03] ---**
    Bu…rami!
**[01:05] ---**
    All right…
**[01:06] ---**
    Let's cheer for Burami!
**[01:08] ---**
    Hip hip hurray! Burami!
**[01:12] ---**
    Hip hip hooray! Burami!
    Hip hip hooray! Burami!
**[01:26] ---**
    I hate this so much!
**[01:35] ---**
    This will neutralize our smell.
**[01:37] ---**
    We're odorless.
**[01:52] ---**
    Their scent is gone!
**[01:55] ---**
    You too?
**[01:56] ---**
    Damn it!
**[01:57] ---**
    What'll we do?
**[01:59] ---**
    There's no reason to despair.
**[02:00] ---**
    That's because if we lose
    our sense of smell,
**[02:03] ---**
    we still have the sense of sight.
**[02:04] ---**
    But they're outside the range
    of the Byakugan!
**[02:07] ---**
    Then we have to get within range.
**[02:14] ---**
    We're counting on you, insects!
**[02:35] ---**
    Looks like they found
    those guys up ahead.
**[02:37] ---**
    All right, just watch!
    We're getting back the scroll…
**[02:40] ---**
    I mean, both the Heaven
    and Earth scrolls!
**[04:14] ---**
    *Unwavering Gutsiness*
    
    
**[04:20] ---**
    There they are.
**[04:30] ---**
    Now it's their turn to sink into sand!
**[04:34] ---**
    Wait…
**[04:39] ---**
    I don't see their chakra.
**[04:41] ---**
    What? What do you mean?
**[04:44] ---**
    It's a mirage…
**[04:46] ---**
    Damn it…
**[04:50] ---**
    So they're fakes?
**[04:57] ---**
    The tower…
**[04:59] ---**
    Use your insects again, Shino…
**[05:01] ---**
    But there's no guarantee
    we'll find the real guys.
**[05:05] ---**
    There's a chance
    they'll reach the tower
**[05:07] ---**
    while we wait for
    my insects to respond.
**[05:11] ---**
    Damn it!
**[05:15] ---**
    *Why does his face*
    *keep popping up?*
**[05:20] ---**
    Kiba?
**[05:22] ---**
    We can't give up.
**[05:25] ---**
    Let's go after them.
**[05:28] ---**
    Even if we have no clue
    where they are?
**[05:32] ---**
    Sure we have a clue!
**[05:34] ---**
    It's guaranteed they're heading
    for the tower.
**[05:37] ---**
    And they're going to avoid
    that bottomless swamp!
**[05:41] ---**
    It's a huge perimeter, I know…
    But it's still a set range!
**[05:44] ---**
    Well, Hinata?
**[05:46] ---**
    Can you at least try
    to get a direction?
**[05:49] ---**
    Okay, I'll try.
**[05:53] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[05:57] ---**
    Looks like there's lots
    of quicksand in the northeast.
**[05:59] ---**
    The northwest is…
    even more restricted.
**[06:03] ---**
    In comparison, the north-northeast
    route looks safer…
**[06:07] ---**
    I'm in favor of heading
    for the tower.
**[06:10] ---**
    There's also the chance
    of finding others
**[06:11] ---**
    with the Heaven and Earth scrolls.
**[06:15] ---**
    We don't have to target
    the Hidden Grass trio.
**[06:17] ---**
    Yes, we do!
**[06:21] ---**
    Those guys stole our scroll.
**[06:25] ---**
    I would…
**[06:27] ---**
    Naruto would absolutely
    take it back from them!
**[06:31] ---**
    Naruto?
**[06:32] ---**
    I mean, never mind Naruto.
**[06:35] ---**
    You're right.
    Naruto wouldn't give up.
**[06:39] ---**
    He would pursue them to
    the ends of the earth…
**[06:41] ---**
    Forget Naruto!
**[06:43] ---**
    I'm not going to give up!
**[06:46] ---**
    Right, Naruto wouldn't give up.
**[06:48] ---**
    I said I'm not…!
**[06:49] ---**
    No, we won't.
**[06:53] ---**
    Shino…
**[06:54] ---**
    That's because Team 8 with
    its sensory perception powers
**[06:58] ---**
    must never be beaten.
**[07:02] ---**
    Shino!
**[07:03] ---**
    All right!
**[07:05] ---**
    Let's show them
    what we're made of!
**[07:08] ---**
    We're not letting them…
    get away!
**[07:23] ---**
    I think we gave them the slip.
**[07:28] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[07:30] ---**
    It's those pesky guys again.
**[07:34] ---**
    I thought you erased our smell?
**[07:36] ---**
    I did…
**[07:37] ---**
    But it seems like
    they can track by instinct.
**[07:41] ---**
    Then let's just take a detour.
**[07:45] ---**
    No, we can't underestimate them.
**[07:48] ---**
    Their persistence isn't ordinary.
**[07:51] ---**
    They must be really confident
    about their tracking skills.
**[07:58] ---**
    So, what'll we do?
**[07:59] ---**
    You have me, so relax.
**[08:03] ---**
    Hip hip hooray, Burami!
**[08:18] ---**
    Here we…go!
**[08:28] ---**
    You too, Akamaru?!
**[08:29] ---**
    What is it, Kiba?
**[08:31] ---**
    It's that blubber man's smell!
**[08:36] ---**
    This way!
**[08:39] ---**
    *You can try,*
    *but you can't hide your smell!*
**[08:43] ---**
    *I'll be there…*
    *You just wait.*
**[08:52] ---**
    Kiba…
**[08:56] ---**
    As expected, a trap.
**[08:57] ---**
    The whole place reeks
    with his smell.
**[09:05] ---**
    Which smell…
    is that bastard's smell?
**[09:12] ---**
    His smell?
**[09:14] ---**
    They're on to us.
**[09:22] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:33] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:53] ---**
    *Why was I able to*
    *keep laughing?*
**[09:57] ---**
    *Why was I able to*
    *get back up again?*
**[10:00] ---**
    *What enabled me to do*
    *that back then?*
**[10:21] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[10:23] ---**
    *Just when I thought*
    *I caught up to him…*
**[10:25] ---**
    *He takes off to train*
    *with Master Jiraiya…*
**[10:29] ---**
    Damn it…
**[10:31] ---**
    Even I want…
**[10:33] ---**
    Listen, Akamaru…
**[10:35] ---**
    We're going to surpass
    the Two-Headed Wolf.
**[10:42] ---**
    We're going to increase
    the number of heads by a lot!
**[10:45] ---**
    And we'll call it the…
    Multi-Headed Wolf!
**[10:49] ---**
    To do that…
**[10:51] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[11:00] ---**
    W-What…?
    I don't have…
**[11:04] ---**
    enough chakra!
**[11:10] ---**
    Okay, I get it.
**[11:12] ---**
    You're right…
**[11:14] ---**
    The more Shadow Clones,
    the more chakra you use up.
**[11:21] ---**
    *I wonder how much chakra*
    *Naruto has?*
**[11:28] ---**
    Damn it…
**[11:29] ---**
    It's no use.
**[11:30] ---**
    I've got to start with one,
    then steadily increase it.
**[11:35] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[11:38] ---**
    Let's do it, Akamaru!
**[11:39] ---**
    Counting you, we'll have three bodies!
**[11:41] ---**
    Three-Headed Wolf!
**[11:45] ---**
    – Inuzuka Style…
    – Inuzuka Style…
**[11:47] ---**
    – Man Beast Transformation Combo!
    – Man Beast Transformation Combo!
**[11:50] ---**
    – Three-Headed Wolf!
    – Three-Headed Wolf!
**[11:57] ---**
    I can't even sustain my jutsu
    when my chakra goes down by half…
**[12:02] ---**
    Steadily increase it?
    Who am I kidding?
**[12:05] ---**
    Can I even do
    a Three-Headed Wolf…?
**[12:10] ---**
    I have to do it!
**[12:12] ---**
    Do it! Do it! Do it!
**[12:14] ---**
    *If I don't have enough chakra,*
    *I'll increase it!*
**[12:16] ---**
    *I'll work on my stamina*
    *and taijutsu*
**[12:18] ---**
    *to build up my basic strength!*
**[12:27] ---**
    This is…
**[12:33] ---**
    Naruto!
**[12:39] ---**
    Blood, sweat…
**[12:41] ---**
    This place reeks
    with Naruto's scent…
**[12:58] ---**
    Can you tell by this scent?
**[13:01] ---**
    Me too.
**[13:04] ---**
    I can tell just how hard
    Naruto trained in here.
**[13:08] ---**
    I'm going to cover this place…
    with our scent!
**[13:18] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[13:31] ---**
    One more time, Akamaru!
**[13:34] ---**
    *I won't give up!*
**[13:35] ---**
    *I'm never giving up!*
**[13:49] ---**
    *No way am I going to lose…*
    *to that bastard!*
**[13:56] ---**
    Three-Headed Wolf!
**[14:12] ---**
    Yeah, it's my…
**[14:15] ---**
    It's our scent!
**[14:21] ---**
    Damn… I can feel Naruto.
**[14:24] ---**
    He's laughing at us again…
**[14:27] ---**
    Asking if we're gonna give up…
**[14:35] ---**
    We're not giving up.
**[14:37] ---**
    It's okay…
    Just give up!
**[14:51] ---**
    Y-You guys…
**[14:53] ---**
    How…did…?
**[14:58] ---**
    Nothing wrong with prey
    turning into the predator, right?
**[15:07] ---**
    *They totally caught us by surprise…*
**[15:11] ---**
    *At this rate…*
**[15:15] ---**
    Hip hip hooray…
**[15:18] ---**
    Burami!
**[15:20] ---**
    Hip hip hooray,
    Muyami!
**[15:22] ---**
    Hip hip hooray, Burami!
**[15:25] ---**
    *Is it over…for us?*
**[15:30] ---**
    That's…!
**[15:52] ---**
    Hey, he stopped moving…
**[16:08] ---**
    We did it!
**[16:09] ---**
    We beat them!
**[16:11] ---**
    And it's all 'cuz of me!
**[16:12] ---**
    No, Burami.
**[16:14] ---**
    It was our teamwork.
**[16:17] ---**
    It doesn't matter.
**[16:18] ---**
    Let's hurry and finish this.
**[16:20] ---**
    Let's go.
**[16:20] ---**
    It's all 'cuz of me!
**[16:28] ---**
    There's the tower!
**[16:30] ---**
    We did it!
**[16:43] ---**
    You guys! How…?!
**[16:45] ---**
    We fooled you real good!
**[16:47] ---**
    Did you think we were dead?!
**[16:50] ---**
    Too bad…
    We're still alive!
**[17:01] ---**
    I used the insects inside me
    to mimic a death-like state.
**[17:06] ---**
    Kiba and Hinata switched places
    with insect clones.
**[17:10] ---**
    We've been had!
**[17:14] ---**
    Even so? How were you
    able to track us?!
**[17:18] ---**
    Didn't you catch their scent?
**[17:21] ---**
    Our scent didn't leak.
**[17:23] ---**
    The reason is…
**[17:27] ---**
    You made airtight suits made
    with your insects?!
**[17:32] ---**
    How do you like that?!
**[17:34] ---**
    But, but…we erased our scent too!
**[17:39] ---**
    So how come they were able
    to track us?!
**[17:41] ---**
    We didn't follow your scent!
**[17:45] ---**
    I followed this scent!
**[17:49] ---**
    There's a guy named Naruto!
**[17:51] ---**
    Never heard of him.
    Who is he?!
**[17:54] ---**
    I'm just saying he exists!
**[17:57] ---**
    And he kept popping
    into my head.
**[18:00] ---**
    I thought it was strange…
    Then I remembered.
**[18:05] ---**
    Different scents stir up
    your memory.
**[18:16] ---**
    Back at that training ground,
    some grass got rubbed into my elbow.
**[18:21] ---**
    The scent of that reminded me
    of that training…
**[18:23] ---**
    and even brought back memories
    I didn't want to remember…like Naruto!
**[18:29] ---**
    Telling me not to give up,
    no matter what.
**[18:32] ---**
    That's got nothing to do with us…
**[18:34] ---**
    But it does!
**[18:37] ---**
    The stain on my elbow…
**[18:38] ---**
    I rubbed it on
    Blubber Man's belly earlier.
**[18:43] ---**
    You were able to erase
    the scent of your flesh…
**[18:46] ---**
    but you didn't think as far as
    erasing the smell of the grass.
**[18:48] ---**
    It's your fault.
**[18:50] ---**
    No, it's the entire team's fault!
**[18:53] ---**
    Anyway, we caught up to you,
    so return it…
**[18:57] ---**
    No… We'll take it back from you!
**[18:59] ---**
    Our Heaven scroll!
**[19:03] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[19:05] ---**
    Moguranmaru!
**[19:20] ---**
    Infestation successful!
**[19:31] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[19:41] ---**
    Devour them!
    Parasitic Gigantic Beetle!
**[19:49] ---**
    8 Trigrams: Air Palm!
**[19:56] ---**
    I'll take down all three
    of you at once!
**[19:59] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[20:02] ---**
    Inuzuka Style…
    Man Beast Transformation Combo!
**[20:05] ---**
    Three-Headed Wolf!
**[20:10] ---**
    Burami!
**[20:12] ---**
    I'm okay! I'm…!
**[20:15] ---**
    H-Hip…
**[20:16] ---**
    Tail Chasing!
**[20:17] ---**
    Hooray!!
**[20:19] ---**
    Rotating Fang!
**[20:34] ---**
    Kiba!
**[20:35] ---**
    Naruto saved us…
**[20:37] ---**
    That's because…
**[20:38] ---**
    That's because Naruto reminded us
    to never give up!
**[20:41] ---**
    You think?!
**[20:43] ---**
    Don't kid yourself!
**[20:44] ---**
    I'm the one
    who remembered Naruto,
**[20:47] ---**
    then tracked that guy
    with his scent!
**[20:51] ---**
    It was all 'cuz of me!
**[20:53] ---**
    I still think Naruto…
**[20:56] ---**
    It was me!
**[21:00] ---**
    You did great too, Akamaru!
**[22:37] ---**
    It's convenient
    having you around, Tenten!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    What do you mean
    by "convenient"?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I have convenient tools,
    but I am not a convenient tool…okay?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    No, no! You are absolutely convenient!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Please!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    – Umm, Tenten?
    – Don't follow me!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I wonder what happened?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I don't know either.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Tenten's Troubles."
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    That was just venting, wasn't it?

**[00:04] ---**
    Judging from their headbands,
    they belong to the Hidden Rain...
**[00:07] ---**
    Which scroll do they have?
    Heaven or Earth?
**[00:24] ---**
    All you do is run away!
**[00:25] ---**
    Just be nice and
    hand over your scroll!
**[00:32] ---**
    That's not happening.
**[00:34] ---**
    Ajisai...
**[00:39] ---**
    Fire Style!
**[00:41] ---**
    Unsealing Jutsu! Confetti Storm!
**[01:00] ---**
    They ran away?
**[01:01] ---**
    Our strength scared them off!
**[01:04] ---**
    Just when we almost had their scroll!
**[02:41] ---**
    *Tenten's Troubles*
    
    
**[03:06] ---**
    *Lady Angel...*
**[03:08] ---**
    *Lady Angel,*
    *what is our special mission?*
**[03:13] ---**
    *Take advantage of the Chunin Exams*
    *to find a Jinchuriki.*
**[03:18] ---**
    *A Jinchuriki?*
**[03:21] ---**
    *Suiren, Fuyou...*
**[03:23] ---**
    *Use your Sensory Perception skills*
    *and look for a shinobi*
**[03:26] ---**
    *who harbors*
    *an enormous amount of chakra.*
**[03:28] ---**
    *Is that what a Jinchuriki is?*
**[03:31] ---**
    *Even if you don't find a Jinchuriki,*
**[03:33] ---**
    *bring back intel of any extraordinary*
    *shinobi from other villages.*
**[03:39] ---**
    *– Yes.*
    *– Yes.*
**[03:40] ---**
    *You will follow these two, Ajisai.*
**[03:43] ---**
    *I understand.*
**[03:45] ---**
    *The Hidden Rain is in*
    *the midst of a reformation.*
**[03:48] ---**
    *Other villages must not find out.*
**[03:51] ---**
    *They must continue to believe*
    *that Hanzo of the Salamander*
**[03:55] ---**
    *rules the Hidden Rain.*
**[03:57] ---**
    *– Yes!*
    *– Yes!*
**[04:05] ---**
    What is it, Ajisai?
**[04:07] ---**
    You can so see many stars
    in other villages...
**[04:13] ---**
    Stars, huh!
**[04:15] ---**
    So this is what a starlit sky is like...
**[04:20] ---**
    Oh...a shooting star!
**[04:21] ---**
    It's the first time I've seen one...
**[04:23] ---**
    We'll see them too, someday,
    in Hidden Rain Village.
**[04:37] ---**
    Now then...
**[04:39] ---**
    There's no other shinobi
    in the area.
**[04:41] ---**
    Okay, we can relax
    and have a meal.
**[04:45] ---**
    We're having okonomiyaki
    pancakes for dinner!
**[04:48] ---**
    Okonomiyaki?
**[04:49] ---**
    Okonomiyaki in the desert…
    Who would have expected that?
**[04:54] ---**
    We all need to eat well
    and maintain our strength.
**[04:58] ---**
    It's convenient
    having you around, Tenten.
**[05:00] ---**
    What do you mean
    by "convenient"?
**[05:01] ---**
    It's so great that
    you're so convenient!
**[05:04] ---**
    Excuse me?
**[05:06] ---**
    I may have convenient tools,
**[05:07] ---**
    but I am not
    a convenient tool...okay?
**[05:10] ---**
    No, no!
    You're absolutely convenient!
**[05:13] ---**
    Come on!
**[05:17] ---**
    I am *not* convenient!
**[05:20] ---**
    You can prepare your own meal.
**[05:23] ---**
    Hey, Tenten...
**[05:25] ---**
    Don't follow me!
**[05:29] ---**
    I wonder what happened?
**[05:31] ---**
    I don't know either.
**[05:32] ---**
    What do we do?
**[05:34] ---**
    Don't look at me.
**[05:50] ---**
    That was just me venting, wasn't it?
**[06:05] ---**
    *8 Trigrams: Air Palm!*
**[06:10] ---**
    *Third Gate of Life... Open!*
**[06:49] ---**
    *You've improved greatly, Tenten.*
**[06:53] ---**
    *Thank you.*
**[06:54] ---**
    *You've perfected your skills.*
**[06:56] ---**
    *But it's not good enough,*
    *Guy Sensei.*
**[07:00] ---**
    *Oh? What's wrong?*
**[07:02] ---**
    *Mastery with weapons*
    *in one-on-one combat*
**[07:04] ---**
    *is fundamental for a ninja, correct?*
**[07:07] ---**
    *Fundamentals are important.*
**[07:09] ---**
    *I know that.*
**[07:11] ---**
    *But the issue is going*
    *beyond the fundamentals...*
**[07:14] ---**
    *Neji honed his Gentle Fist*
    *and developed a new jutsu.*
**[07:18] ---**
    *So I understand.*
    *He's brilliant!*
**[07:20] ---**
    *Lee only has*
    *fundamental taijutsu skills,*
**[07:22] ---**
    *but he can open*
    *the Eight Inner Gates.*
**[07:25] ---**
    *It's the fruits of his labor!*
**[07:27] ---**
    *But all I have is the basics.*
**[07:31] ---**
    *I want to apply my skills too.*
**[07:34] ---**
    *At this rate,*
**[07:35] ---**
    *all I'll ever do is stand behind them*
    *and support them.*
**[07:38] ---**
    *You know, Tenten,*
    *such a role is crucial in teamwork.*
**[07:43] ---**
    *I realize that both Neji and*
    *Lee are taijutsu users*
**[07:46] ---**
    *who are close-contact fighters...*
**[07:49] ---**
    *We're able to fight aggressively*
    *because we know that you have our back.*
**[07:55] ---**
    *We're grateful that you're here for us.*
**[07:58] ---**
    *Rather than gratitude,*
**[08:00] ---**
    *I'd like to have*
    *my own special ninjutsu.*
**[08:03] ---**
    *Isn't there something, Guy Sensei?*
**[08:13] ---**
    *How about the Sansetsukon?*
**[08:15] ---**
    *That's no different from this!*
**[08:17] ---**
    *That's right, Tenten!*
**[08:19] ---**
    *You have a trait no one else*
    *on this team has.*
**[08:24] ---**
    *You should polish that.*
**[08:25] ---**
    *A skill no one else has?*
**[08:28] ---**
    *You're really convenient*
    *to have around.*
**[08:31] ---**
    *Please don't talk about me*
    *like I'm some tool, Sensei!*
**[08:35] ---**
    *Oh no, I didn't mean it*
    *like that at all.*
**[08:39] ---**
    *I'm asking you after giving this*
    *a lot of thought, you know.*
**[08:45] ---**
    Tenten...
**[08:48] ---**
    The okonomiyaki pancakes
    are done.
**[08:50] ---**
    Let's eat!
**[08:53] ---**
    How do they taste?
**[08:57] ---**
    I'm not too confident
    about them, but...
**[09:21] ---**
    Looks like it's going to
    be another hot day.
**[09:24] ---**
    It's the complete opposite
    of Hidden Rain Village.
**[09:28] ---**
    A little dampness would be nice.
**[09:34] ---**
    I see a little bit of green over there.
**[09:41] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[09:46] ---**
    What do you see, Neji?
**[09:49] ---**
    There's no one around here.
**[09:53] ---**
    Let's keep moving.
**[09:55] ---**
    As we approach the finish line,
    others are bound to appear.
**[10:00] ---**
    You're right.
**[10:00] ---**
    It's better than lying in wait.
**[10:03] ---**
    If we're going to wait,
    I see a good spot.
**[10:06] ---**
    Where?
**[10:08] ---**
    Want to go and check it out?
**[10:21] ---**
    This place is eerie.
**[10:24] ---**
    I see caves all around us.
**[10:27] ---**
    It seems to be a ruin.
**[10:28] ---**
    A ruin?
**[10:29] ---**
    Yeah...of the Land of Wind.
**[10:35] ---**
    Just as I expected.
**[10:45] ---**
    They're Hidden Leaf shinobi.
**[10:47] ---**
    They look different from
    yesterday's bunch.
**[10:49] ---**
    Yesterday's trio was
    totally unimpressive.
**[10:53] ---**
    I wonder what these guys are like?
**[10:58] ---**
    They're heading right for us.
**[11:00] ---**
    They have
    a Sensory Perception type too.
**[11:03] ---**
    We'll ambush them.
**[11:06] ---**
    They're lying in wait.
**[11:08] ---**
    What about their scroll?
**[11:10] ---**
    We'll fight and snatch it away.
**[11:13] ---**
    Looks like they plan
    to do the same thing.
**[11:15] ---**
    They're coming straight for us!
**[11:24] ---**
    Let's not waste time
    on senseless fighting.
**[11:27] ---**
    I'll be blunt.
**[11:30] ---**
    We have the Heaven scroll.
**[11:32] ---**
    HEAVEN
    If this is what you're after, let's fight.
**[11:37] ---**
    Unsealing Jutsu: Shuriken!
**[11:40] ---**
    That jutsu...!
**[11:41] ---**
    Rotation!
**[11:49] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu,
    Gate of Rainwater!
**[12:09] ---**
    You...!
**[12:10] ---**
    You're not the only one who
    can use Transportation Ninjutsu.
**[12:16] ---**
    Those guys are pretty good.
**[12:18] ---**
    Yeah, however...
**[12:20] ---**
    None of them are oozing with
    large amounts of chakra.
**[12:24] ---**
    Ajisai...
**[12:26] ---**
    Unsealing Jutsu! Confetti Storm!
**[12:33] ---**
    FIRE
**[12:42] ---**
    They ran away!
**[12:44] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[12:49] ---**
    Let's go after them!
**[12:59] ---**
    They're coming after us.
**[13:01] ---**
    They definitely have
    a Sensory type with them.
**[13:06] ---**
    Water Style!
**[13:07] ---**
    Hidden Drizzle Jutsu!
**[13:21] ---**
    What happened?
**[13:23] ---**
    There's little moisture around here.
**[13:25] ---**
    My Water style doesn't work well.
**[13:32] ---**
    I know we don't have
    ground advantage.
**[13:35] ---**
    It's an impossible battle,
    but we have no choice but to fight.
**[13:42] ---**
    Leaf Hurricane!
**[13:48] ---**
    Above you, Lee!
**[13:54] ---**
    – Senbon Rainstorm!
    – Senbon Rainstorm!
**[14:16] ---**
    You're pretty good!
**[14:19] ---**
    Gentle Fist!
**[14:24] ---**
    Leaf Drop!
**[14:37] ---**
    ROPE
**[14:58] ---**
    Tenten!
**[15:00] ---**
    Ajisai!
**[15:08] ---**
    I sense their chakra underground...
**[15:10] ---**
    but it's deep down.
**[15:11] ---**
    The sand and gravel are in the way.
**[15:13] ---**
    We can't waste time
    fighting senselessly.
**[15:16] ---**
    We're going to save our teammate,
    so we request that you not interfere.
**[15:20] ---**
    Same here.
**[15:23] ---**
    Yes, let's call a truce for now.
**[15:26] ---**
    We're not at war.
**[15:28] ---**
    This is just the Chunin Exams.
**[15:30] ---**
    Our teammate's safety is more important
    than passing or failing.
**[15:34] ---**
    We agree to your plan.
**[15:36] ---**
    But we'll conduct our own search.
**[15:42] ---**
    This looks like a ruin
    of the Land of Wind.
**[15:45] ---**
    Ajisai and the other shinobi fell
    into an underground corridor.
**[15:49] ---**
    If it's a corridor,
    it has to connect from somewhere.
**[15:57] ---**
    Should we just use brute strength
    and dig from above?
**[16:00] ---**
    There's a risk of collapse.
**[16:02] ---**
    We should search for
    a passageway into the ruin
**[16:04] ---**
    and follow them underground.
**[16:26] ---**
    Yikes...
**[16:28] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[16:30] ---**
    Burn with the passion of youth!
**[16:32] ---**
    Let your youthful energy seethe!
**[16:34] ---**
    Fill up with burning chakra!
**[16:37] ---**
    But Guy Sensei...
**[16:39] ---**
    I thought this is
    just strength training!
**[16:42] ---**
    You're too easygoing, Tenten.
**[16:44] ---**
    Somewhere along this cliff,
**[16:45] ---**
    your physical strength
    will reach its limits.
**[16:48] ---**
    Then you will fall and die.
**[16:51] ---**
    Die?
**[16:52] ---**
    To prevent yourself from dying,
**[16:53] ---**
    you must overcome the limits
    of your physical strength.
**[16:55] ---**
    Overcoming the limits of
    physical strength requires a strong will.
**[17:01] ---**
    Yes sir!
**[17:02] ---**
    Hi there.
    Are you guys cliff-climbing too?
**[17:06] ---**
    Hang in there.
**[17:08] ---**
    Kakashi?!
**[17:09] ---**
    Why is your arm
    behind your back?
**[17:11] ---**
    It's a little habit of mine.
**[17:14] ---**
    Well, see you later!
**[17:17] ---**
    "See you later"?
**[17:18] ---**
    Wait up! This is a contest!
**[17:21] ---**
    I'm finishing first!
**[17:24] ---**
    Don't get so worked up.
    This is only training.
**[17:28] ---**
    What's wrong with
    a little rivalry during training!
**[17:30] ---**
    Hey, please wait, Guy Sensei!
**[17:33] ---**
    You can take it easy!
**[17:36] ---**
    Jeez!
**[17:59] ---**
    Damn, damn it...
**[18:00] ---**
    Damn it...
**[18:04] ---**
    Good job, Tenten. You made it.
**[18:06] ---**
    Well? Did you overcome your limits?
**[18:08] ---**
    I'm not quite sure...
**[18:10] ---**
    But I think I overcame something.
**[18:14] ---**
    Water?
**[18:21] ---**
    Here you go.
**[18:22] ---**
    You're convenient, after all.
**[18:25] ---**
    Please stop saying that already.
**[18:27] ---**
    I mean, your jutsu is convenient.
**[18:33] ---**
    Storing items in a scroll,
**[18:35] ---**
    or using a scroll to pull things
    from a distance...
**[18:39] ---**
    The Transportation Technique,
    which is a type of Summoning Jutsu.
**[18:43] ---**
    You either have the skill
    for it or you don't.
**[18:45] ---**
    You're saying that
    I have the skill for it?
**[18:48] ---**
    Seems that way.
**[18:49] ---**
    Honing that skill is the path
**[18:51] ---**
    to gaining the strength
    and usefulness you desire.
**[18:55] ---**
    Hone my skill?
**[18:57] ---**
    Isn't that only going to increase
    my physical strength?
**[19:00] ---**
    Your spiritual strength too.
**[19:02] ---**
    You know that chakra
    is the combination
**[19:04] ---**
    of physical energy and
    spiritual energy, right?
**[19:08] ---**
    Of course.
**[19:09] ---**
    Each individual can increase
    chakra simply by training.
**[19:14] ---**
    Simply put, if you increase
    your physical and spiritual power,
**[19:17] ---**
    your chakra will increase too.
**[19:21] ---**
    Increasing my chakra
    is good for me?
**[19:25] ---**
    With Summoning Jutsu,
**[19:27] ---**
    the caster's chakra
    is directly proportionate
**[19:30] ---**
    to the quantity and size
    of what is summoned.
**[19:32] ---**
    This is the amount of water
    you just summoned.
**[19:36] ---**
    By increasing your chakra,
**[19:37] ---**
    you can summon enough water
    to fill a bathtub,
**[19:39] ---**
    or a lake, or even an ocean.
**[19:43] ---**
    An ocean...
**[19:46] ---**
    OCEAN
**[19:56] ---**
    And that is why we will continue
    to train to increase our chakra, Tenten.
**[20:00] ---**
    Right!
**[20:04] ---**
    We just climbed up,
    so why are we climbing down?!
**[20:08] ---**
    This is training too!
**[20:09] ---**
    Burn with the passion of youth!
**[20:11] ---**
    Let your youthful energy seethe!
**[20:14] ---**
    Fill up with burning chakra!
**[20:16] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:33] ---**
    Where am I?
**[20:57] ---**
    Hey, are you all right?
**[21:00] ---**
    Hey...come on!
**[22:37] ---**
    Lee, did you find something?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    No, I thought it was an entrance into
    the ruins, but it was just a boulder.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I see...
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    We have to find
    the entrance quickly.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    We don't know how long we have
    until everything caves in,
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    due to that previous shockwave...
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Oh no!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Can't you find them with
    your Byakugan, Neji?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Well, it seems they fell down
    a considerable distance...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Tenten...
    
    
**[22:57] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Imprisoned Pair*
    
    
**[01:41] ---**
    Hey!
**[01:43] ---**
    Hey, come on.
**[01:58] ---**
    Look… I don't think this is
    the time to be fighting.
**[02:09] ---**
    Here.
**[02:10] ---**
    Let's call a truce
    until we get out of here.
**[02:12] ---**
    What do you say?
**[02:14] ---**
    That's fine…
**[02:16] ---**
    But I don't need charity
    from a Great Nation!
**[02:19] ---**
    What? "Charity?"
**[02:21] ---**
    Unsealing Jutsu!
**[02:25] ---**
    If you had water,
    you could have just said so.
**[02:29] ---**
    The Great Nations…
    don't understand pain.
**[02:32] ---**
    Pain? What are you talking about?
**[02:36] ---**
    Exactly.
**[02:41] ---**
    You don't know pain, or the pain
    you inflict upon smaller nations.
**[02:46] ---**
    I have no idea
    what you're talking about.
**[02:49] ---**
    But do you understand
    that we need to
**[02:53] ---**
    help each other
    in order to get out of here?
**[02:57] ---**
    Help each other?
**[02:58] ---**
    I wonder where we are.
**[03:03] ---**
    An ancient ruin
    of the Land of Wind.
**[03:05] ---**
    This is probably
    some underground structure.
**[03:08] ---**
    You think so too?
**[03:09] ---**
    It looks difficult
    to go up that way.
**[03:13] ---**
    I agree.
**[03:18] ---**
    Shall we try?
**[03:19] ---**
    We don't have a choice.
**[03:25] ---**
    How are your teammates?
**[03:28] ---**
    What about them?
**[03:30] ---**
    My teammates aren't suited for
    search and rescue…
**[03:34] ---**
    So I'm not going to
    depend on them to find me…
**[03:37] ---**
    I plan to get out of here
    on my own as well…
**[03:47] ---**
    Oh!
**[03:49] ---**
    Did you find anything?
**[03:50] ---**
    No. I thought this was
    the entrance to the ruin,
**[03:53] ---**
    but it's just a boulder.
**[04:06] ---**
    I heard it rains all year long in
    Hidden Rain Village, is that true?
**[04:12] ---**
    Yes, it is.
**[04:14] ---**
    I can't even imagine it.
**[04:18] ---**
    Probably not.
**[04:22] ---**
    You've had an attitude
    all this time.
**[04:24] ---**
    But you know, you guys
    are also to blame
**[04:26] ---**
    for us not knowing much
    about the Hidden Rain.
**[04:30] ---**
    We are?
**[04:32] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:33] ---**
    I've heard that secrecy is
    a doctrine of the Hidden Rain.
**[04:36] ---**
    So it's no wonder that we don't
    know anything about you guys.
**[04:41] ---**
    The only time we
    come into contact with you guys
**[04:43] ---**
    is through something like
    the Chunin Exams.
**[04:45] ---**
    But because this is a test,
**[04:47] ---**
    instead of talking with each other,
    we have to fight.
**[04:50] ---**
    That's true.
**[04:51] ---**
    You guys can come to
    Hidden Leaf Village
**[04:53] ---**
    or Hidden Sand Village…
**[04:55] ---**
    but if we were to go to
    the Hidden Rain,
**[04:56] ---**
    we wouldn't be allowed to enter.
**[05:00] ---**
    A small nation like the Hidden Rain
    must be extremely careful.
**[05:03] ---**
    There are other small nations too…
**[05:05] ---**
    The Hidden Rain is a special case.
**[05:08] ---**
    You're right…
    Hidden Rain Village *is* special.
**[05:20] ---**
    *Small nations become embroiled*
    *in the wars of the Great Nations,*
**[05:24] ---**
    *ending up as their battlefields*
**[05:26] ---**
    *and are left to suffer*
    *the consequences.*
**[05:28] ---**
    *But Lord Pain wants to bring*
    *an end to a world like this…*
**[05:32] ---**
    *He wants the clueless Great Nations*
    *to feel our pain…*
**[05:36] ---**
    *and bring about true peace.*
**[05:48] ---**
    *The Hidden Rain*
    *will be reborn anew…*
**[06:04] ---**
    The Hidden Rain will be reborn.
**[06:07] ---**
    Does that mean
    you'll be more friendly?
**[06:10] ---**
    – That's…
    – Wait.
**[06:12] ---**
    Did you hear something?
**[06:17] ---**
    Is it your teammates?
**[06:19] ---**
    I doubt that…
**[06:20] ---**
    I guess not.
**[06:24] ---**
    What is it?!
**[06:25] ---**
    It's an ant.
**[06:26] ---**
    An ant this huge?!
**[06:35] ---**
    It's so hard!
**[06:57] ---**
    They don't call this place
    the Demon Desert for nothing…
**[06:59] ---**
    Unreal things live here.
**[07:02] ---**
    I wonder if there are others?
**[07:04] ---**
    I hope not…
    But these are ants and…
**[07:06] ---**
    This place is probably
    swarming with them.
**[07:09] ---**
    Let's capture one.
**[07:10] ---**
    What?
**[07:11] ---**
    Capture one for what?
**[07:14] ---**
    To tame it and turn it into
    a Summoning Animal.
**[07:17] ---**
    A summoning…
**[07:18] ---**
    Besides, their nest could be
    connected to other openings.
**[07:30] ---**
    You know how to Summon right?
**[07:32] ---**
    Yes.
**[07:33] ---**
    Is there a trick to it?
**[07:35] ---**
    I wouldn't know.
**[07:38] ---**
    I guess it's just sheer talent…
**[07:47] ---**
    Maybe it's beyond here.
**[08:03] ---**
    I sense a little chakra…
**[08:06] ---**
    It seems like she's moving,
    but I can't tell for sure.
**[08:10] ---**
    Found you!
**[08:16] ---**
    This is the 100th time we've met!
**[08:18] ---**
    This time, you're gonna
    hand over your scroll to us!
**[08:24] ---**
    One of them is missing.
**[08:26] ---**
    Are they operating separately?
**[08:28] ---**
    Which means it's three against two…
**[08:29] ---**
    and we have the advantage.
**[08:33] ---**
    What's with that beat-up umbrella?
**[08:36] ---**
    What do you think
    you can do with that?
**[08:48] ---**
    Planning to run away again?!
**[08:50] ---**
    You won't get away this time!
**[08:55] ---**
    Who are you guys?
**[08:57] ---**
    Let's make this clear.
**[08:58] ---**
    Those guys are our prey.
**[09:01] ---**
    You won't be attacking
    these two right now.
**[09:04] ---**
    We're in the midst of
    helping each other.
**[09:08] ---**
    Helping? The Hidden Rain?
**[09:11] ---**
    You mean to tell us that
    you're Hidden Leaf like us,
**[09:14] ---**
    and you're getting in our way?
**[09:16] ---**
    We're all exam participants.
**[09:18] ---**
    If it comes down to it,
    we can come after your scroll too.
**[09:21] ---**
    What?!
**[09:22] ---**
    You want to fight us?
**[09:24] ---**
    Don't underestimate us.
**[09:26] ---**
    After all,
    there's only two of you too.
**[09:28] ---**
    What shall we do, Neji?
**[09:30] ---**
    I want to avoid fighting
    as much as possible,
**[09:32] ---**
    but we don't have a choice.
**[09:33] ---**
    So you're gonna come at us,
    three against two?
**[09:37] ---**
    No.
**[09:38] ---**
    You guys!
**[09:40] ---**
    We'll assist you.
**[09:42] ---**
    W-What's going on with you guys?
**[09:44] ---**
    You're kidding, right?
**[09:46] ---**
    You're gonna team up
    with the Hidden Rain
**[09:47] ---**
    to fight fellow
    Hidden Leaf Shinobi?
**[09:50] ---**
    According to
    the Second Exam's rules,
**[09:51] ---**
    being from the same village
    has no bearing whatsoever.
**[09:54] ---**
    If you possess the Earth scroll,
    you're fair game.
**[09:58] ---**
    Fair game?
**[10:00] ---**
    Th-That's not fair!
**[10:02] ---**
    If that's the case…
**[10:06] ---**
    Retreat!
**[10:07] ---**
    We'll remember this!
**[10:09] ---**
    We're gonna be Chunin,
    no matter what!
**[10:17] ---**
    Why did you help us?
**[10:20] ---**
    To save our teammates,
    we need to cooperate.
**[10:24] ---**
    Didn't you come to
    the same conclusion?
**[10:27] ---**
    Yeah…
**[10:29] ---**
    Then let's all work together
    to save Tenten and your friend.
**[10:41] ---**
    It's the nest…
**[10:43] ---**
    There's no way we can capture one…
**[10:47] ---**
    Look.
**[10:49] ---**
    The ant hole
    must lead to the outside.
**[10:55] ---**
    And…you're suggesting
    we go right through this?
**[10:58] ---**
    It looks difficult, doesn't it?
**[11:00] ---**
    We should go back
    to the original corridor.
**[11:03] ---**
    You're right.
**[11:07] ---**
    Not good!
**[11:16] ---**
    Hurry!
**[11:22] ---**
    Is that an entrance?
**[11:23] ---**
    You're probably right.
**[11:24] ---**
    Okay! Hang in there, Tenten!
**[11:27] ---**
    Hey, Lee!
**[11:28] ---**
    I'm coming!
**[11:31] ---**
    There are ridiculously huge ants!
**[11:34] ---**
    Lee!
**[11:36] ---**
    We're prey to them.
**[11:40] ---**
    I'll distract them.
**[11:41] ---**
    Neji, you guys go in
    and find the two.
**[11:45] ---**
    Got it!
**[11:58] ---**
    8 Trigrams: Air Palm!
**[12:03] ---**
    Hurry!
**[12:04] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[12:08] ---**
    Leaf Hurricane!
**[12:14] ---**
    You're not getting past me!
**[12:18] ---**
    I guess…
**[12:21] ---**
    They wouldn't understand
    what I'm saying…
**[12:34] ---**
    They're chasing us.
**[13:03] ---**
    No way…
**[13:07] ---**
    It's caved in…
**[13:08] ---**
    So we can't pass?
**[13:10] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[13:15] ---**
    They're in there.
**[13:17] ---**
    Yeah, that's Ajisai's chakra.
**[13:19] ---**
    Everyone step aside.
**[13:21] ---**
    Stop! An explosion
    might trigger a cave in.
**[13:28] ---**
    8 Trigrams: Open Palm!
**[13:35] ---**
    I suppressed its power
    to try to contain it,
**[13:37] ---**
    but I guess it wasn't effective.
**[13:40] ---**
    Not much different
    than a Paper Bomb.
**[13:42] ---**
    What'll we do?
**[13:43] ---**
    Hey!
**[13:51] ---**
    What was…that tremor just now?
**[13:54] ---**
    It's from the outside.
**[13:56] ---**
    Someone is trying to
    clear this rubble.
**[13:59] ---**
    Your friends?
**[14:00] ---**
    Or yours.
**[14:02] ---**
    I wonder if they can do it.
**[14:04] ---**
    Seems it will be difficult.
**[14:08] ---**
    They're coming!
**[14:10] ---**
    Wait.
**[14:13] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[14:19] ---**
    Ward them off.
**[14:32] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[14:34] ---**
    I'm going to suck the sediment
    into another dimension
**[14:36] ---**
    with my Transportation Jutsu.
**[14:37] ---**
    But you don't even know
    how much sand and gravel there is!
**[14:40] ---**
    This is the only thing left to try.
**[14:53] ---**
    I'll either remove the rubble,
    or I'll run out of chakra.
**[14:56] ---**
    Enclosing Jutsu!
**[15:14] ---**
    Please, do it too.
**[15:15] ---**
    Huh?! But I've never
    done anything like this…
**[15:18] ---**
    It's similar to stowing away
    weapons and tools.
**[15:21] ---**
    You say it's similar but…
**[15:34] ---**
    *With Summoning Jutsu,*
**[15:36] ---**
    *the caster's chakra is*
    *directly proportionate to*
**[15:39] ---**
    *the quantity and size*
    *of what is summoned.*
**[15:41] ---**
    *This is the amount of water*
    *you just summoned.*
**[15:45] ---**
    *By increasing your chakra,*
    *you can summon enough water*
**[15:48] ---**
    *to fill a bathtub, or a lake,*
    *or even an ocean.*
**[15:53] ---**
    *An ocean…*
**[16:04] ---**
    *Come here!*
**[16:08] ---**
    *This is impossible!*
**[16:16] ---**
    *Do you remember*
    *the last Chunin Exams?*
**[16:20] ---**
    *– Yeah.*
    *– Yes.*
**[16:21] ---**
    *Uh-huh.*
**[16:23] ---**
    *The last time,*
**[16:24] ---**
    *the Chunin Exams were cancelled*
    *due to unforeseen circumstances.*
**[16:28] ---**
    *On top of not being*
    *promoted to chunin,*
**[16:30] ---**
    *I was useless during*
**[16:31] ---**
    *the Hidden Leaf's*
    *most critical moment.*
**[16:34] ---**
    *It couldn't be helped.*
**[16:36] ---**
    *You were seriously wounded*
    *and unable to take action.*
**[16:40] ---**
    *I'm ashamed that I was*
    *perfectly healthy, but helpless.*
**[16:44] ---**
    *Well, that shouldn't*
    *bother you now.*
**[16:46] ---**
    *After two years, the Chunin Exams*
    *are being held again.*
**[16:50] ---**
    *Is that true?*
**[16:52] ---**
    *And so, I must at least ask you…*
**[16:56] ---**
    *Will the three of you take*
    *the Chunin Exams as a team?*
**[16:59] ---**
    *That goes without saying.*
**[17:01] ---**
    *Of course we will!*
**[17:03] ---**
    *Uh-huh.*
**[17:04] ---**
    *That's the power of youth!*
**[17:06] ---**
    *We've grown much stronger*
    *since then!*
**[17:09] ---**
    *What's the matter, Tenten?*
    *Are you unsure?*
**[17:12] ---**
    *Sensei, have I gotten*
    *stronger since then?*
**[17:17] ---**
    *You…should have.*
**[17:20] ---**
    *But I have nothing to show for it.*
**[17:27] ---**
    *Without a doubt,*
**[17:28] ---**
    *you have persevered*
    *and trained since that time.*
**[17:30] ---**
    *Admittedly, we can't see it*
**[17:32] ---**
    *as we can Neji's jutsu*
    *or Lee's technique.*
**[17:35] ---**
    *But do not forget, Tenten.*
**[17:40] ---**
    *Hard work and effort never betrays.*
**[18:04] ---**
    Unsealing Jutsu!
**[18:22] ---**
    Hey! Are you all right?!
**[18:26] ---**
    – The rubble…
    – But…
**[18:28] ---**
    it's impossible for me to
    remove the rubble like you do.
**[18:31] ---**
    Hurry!
**[18:33] ---**
    The ants will dig right through it.
**[18:42] ---**
    I just have to suck it up
    and do it!
**[18:46] ---**
    If hard work and effort
    never betrays…
**[18:49] ---**
    Then my chakra has increased!
**[18:57] ---**
    OCEAN
    
**[19:26] ---**
    I almost drowned in the desert.
**[19:38] ---**
    You did it.
**[19:40] ---**
    Yeah.
**[19:42] ---**
    Seawater in the desert!
**[19:45] ---**
    Tenten, you demonstrated
    the fruits of your labor.
**[19:47] ---**
    I sure did, didn't I?!
**[19:49] ---**
    As expected!
**[19:52] ---**
    Now then…
**[19:53] ---**
    We had a truce. So what now?
**[19:57] ---**
    If you agree,
    can we continue this truce?
**[20:01] ---**
    It's fine with us.
**[20:02] ---**
    After what we went through,
    I don't feel like fighting.
**[20:06] ---**
    We're going to head straight
    for the finish line.
**[20:09] ---**
    As for us…
**[20:11] ---**
    Yes…
**[20:13] ---**
    We'll detour right
    and search for a scroll.
**[20:16] ---**
    Thank you.
**[20:18] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:19] ---**
    I got the knack of it,
    all thanks to you.
**[20:23] ---**
    Yeah? I'm glad.
**[20:26] ---**
    Let's both do our best…
**[20:28] ---**
    …and meet up in the Third Exam.
**[20:31] ---**
    Yes.
**[20:35] ---**
    See you again!
**[20:42] ---**
    The other villages
    are very curious.
**[20:44] ---**
    Yes… There are so many
    different kinds of shinobi.
**[20:47] ---**
    I wonder if Hidden Rain Village
    will go through many changes?
**[20:51] ---**
    We will change it…
**[20:52] ---**
    By having faith in Lord Pain
    and Lady Angel.
**[20:55] ---**
    – Yeah.
    – Yes.
**[20:57] ---**
    Let's go.
**[20:58] ---**
    We have to look for a Jinchuriki.
**[22:38] ---**
    We should've just headed
    straight for the goal
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    rather than going with
    your strategy, Sakura!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    What?! But you agreed to it!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Ino, you just drank too much water!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    You bloated blister!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Oh yeah, is that right?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Well you'd have to drink
    a hundred times more than me!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Place Where I Belong"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    If we're talking about getting
    bloated from drinking water,
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    then you should have no problem!

**[00:10] ---**
    They're thorns from a poisonous cactus…
**[00:15] ---**
    You're from the Sand…
**[00:16] ---**
    You should be familiar with
    the plant life of your homeland.
**[00:18] ---**
    It's pitiful.
**[00:20] ---**
    Kouji…
**[00:21] ---**
    Please get the bandages ready.
**[00:23] ---**
    I know, Ameno.
**[00:33] ---**
    I'm going to extract the poison
    directly out of him.
**[00:35] ---**
    Medical Water Style:
    Water Mosquito!
**[00:53] ---**
    Are you sure
    you don't want it?
**[00:57] ---**
    A Medical Ninja stays
    on the frontlines
**[01:00] ---**
    in order to help comrades
    stay alive.
**[01:02] ---**
    We're not here to battle.
**[01:05] ---**
    I'm not a Medical Ninja,
    so that doesn't include me.
**[01:08] ---**
    What was that?
**[01:10] ---**
    Just joking!
**[01:12] ---**
    I'd never live it down
    if word got around
**[01:14] ---**
    that I took a scroll from
    an injured comrade.
**[01:17] ---**
    Just hurry and get lost.
**[01:22] ---**
    Would it have been okay
    if they weren't comrades?
**[01:27] ---**
    Did you do a sensory check
    on the area, Shishio?
**[01:35] ---**
    I could swear this wave pattern is…
**[03:08] ---**
    *The Place Where I Belong*
    
    
**[03:18] ---**
    H-Hey, can we slow down a bit?
**[03:21] ---**
    See, Sakura? Choji is worried
    about you.
**[03:24] ---**
    He's worried about you, Ino.
**[03:27] ---**
    If you need to rest, just say so.
**[03:33] ---**
    Anyway, I hope you're right.
**[03:35] ---**
    About what?
**[03:37] ---**
    An oasis, what else?!
**[03:39] ---**
    You're the one who said that
    even with the scroll,
**[03:41] ---**
    we'd never make it to
    the central tower without water!
**[03:44] ---**
    Come on, guys…
**[03:45] ---**
    You're to blame for this
    in the first place!
**[04:11] ---**
    That brings back memories
    of the last Chunin Exam!
**[04:24] ---**
    *All right! Let's find some weaklings!*
**[04:26] ---**
    Shut up! That was
    a tactical withdrawal!
**[04:31] ---**
    We decided to tread carefully
    after we collected the scrolls,
**[04:33] ---**
    and look at the result!
**[04:36] ---**
    We should've just headed
    straight for the goal
**[04:38] ---**
    instead of going with
    your strategy, Sakura!
**[04:40] ---**
    What?!
**[04:41] ---**
    I've been listening
    to you patiently…
**[04:43] ---**
    but you agreed to it!
**[04:46] ---**
    W-Well…
**[04:47] ---**
    At the time, I thought…
    it would be easier.
**[04:52] ---**
    You just drank too much water, Ino!
**[04:54] ---**
    You bloated blister!
**[04:56] ---**
    Bloated blister? Is that right?
**[05:00] ---**
    Well, you'd have to drink a hundred times
    more than me to fill yours up!
**[05:04] ---**
    If drinking water is all that it takes,
    I'd be happy!
**[05:08] ---**
    Now, now, you two.
    Get over it.
**[05:10] ---**
    – Shut up, you fa…
    – Shut up, you fa…
**[05:14] ---**
    – It's out!
    – It's out!
**[05:18] ---**
    Let's get out of here!
**[05:24] ---**
    *No way!*
    *Is this trauma?*
**[05:26] ---**
    Choji!
**[05:30] ---**
    Mind Transfer…
**[05:33] ---**
    *It's faster than it looks…*
**[05:35] ---**
    *I can't do Mind Transfer.*
    *Then I'll—!*
**[05:45] ---**
    Super Expansion Jutsu!
**[05:54] ---**
    Way to go, Choji!
**[05:55] ---**
    Clobber it just like that!
**[06:00] ---**
    We did it!
**[06:14] ---**
    Cha!
**[06:27] ---**
    You know, tell us if you have
    a move like that up your sleeve!
**[06:31] ---**
    For an instant,
**[06:33] ---**
    you probably have
    more power than me.
**[06:35] ---**
    I-I doubt that…
**[06:39] ---**
    Let me see.
**[06:44] ---**
    Even if we're Medical Ninja, it's hard
    to heal your own fist, right?
**[06:59] ---**
    I can't do anymore…
**[07:00] ---**
    My head feels like it's boiling!
**[07:03] ---**
    Yeah… Everyone feels that at first.
**[07:06] ---**
    But once you overcome it,
    you will find the true Secret Ninjutsu,
**[07:09] ---**
    the Bond of
    the Three Families.
**[07:11] ---**
    Then even Shikamaru
    and Choji are…?
**[07:14] ---**
    No way…
**[07:16] ---**
    There's no way those two
    are training this hard.
**[07:19] ---**
    The recent incident with Sasuke
    wounded everyone badly…
**[07:24] ---**
    in both body and in mind.
**[07:26] ---**
    But because of that,
    we will grow.
**[07:30] ---**
    Without a doubt,
    it will take several years
**[07:32] ---**
    to master the Secret Ninjutsu,
    even if you continue training.
**[07:36] ---**
    However…it's so you can
    keep up with them…
**[07:39] ---**
    and in order to protect
    the Ino-Shika-Cho tradition,
**[07:41] ---**
    and our clan's tradition…
**[07:43] ---**
    That's why I must pass on
    our Secret Ninjutsu to you.
**[07:47] ---**
    That's why I was really happy
    when you came
**[07:52] ---**
    and asked me to train you.
**[07:55] ---**
    W-Wait a sec…
**[07:57] ---**
    Did you just say it would take
    several years to master it?
**[08:00] ---**
    Hmm?
**[08:01] ---**
    There's no shortcut
    to this training.
**[08:04] ---**
    But I believe that you can
    see this through…
**[08:06] ---**
    O-Oh right! I just remembered
    I have something to do!
**[08:09] ---**
    I'm not finished talking to you!
**[08:11] ---**
    In fact, have you forgotten
    the meaning
**[08:13] ---**
    behind the Oath of the Piercings?
**[08:15] ---**
    The oath you took when
    your Sarutobi Clan mentor
**[08:17] ---**
    presented those earrings to you?
**[08:19] ---**
    That you will keep that vow,
**[08:20] ---**
    and pass on new piercings
    to the next generation.
**[08:23] ---**
    You will eventually lead
    the Yamanaka Clan…
**[08:26] ---**
    and entrust a new earring to
    your child who will be born.
**[08:29] ---**
    *Not this story again…*
**[08:31] ---**
    O-Oh, that's right!
**[08:32] ---**
    Choji's being discharged today!
**[08:35] ---**
    What? Choji is?
**[08:37] ---**
    I have to get a present and
    get things ready, so I have to go!
**[08:40] ---**
    I-I see. I guess
    it can't be helped then.
**[08:43] ---**
    Yeah… See you later.
**[08:53] ---**
    *Several years?*
    *You've got to be kidding me!*
**[08:57] ---**
    *I just wanted to quickly get stronger*
    *and show those guys!*
**[09:03] ---**
    *What's the point if*
    *it takes so many years?*
**[09:08] ---**
    Sakura!
**[09:09] ---**
    Ino!
**[09:12] ---**
    We're celebrating Choji's discharge
    from the hospital.
**[09:15] ---**
    Want to join us?
**[09:16] ---**
    Oh… Choji's well enough to leave?
**[09:20] ---**
    That's great news!
**[09:21] ---**
    But I'm sorry!
**[09:23] ---**
    I'm in the middle of training.
**[09:25] ---**
    Please congratulate Choji for me!
**[09:31] ---**
    Huh? Where's Shikamaru?
**[09:33] ---**
    He's seeing off the people
    from the Sand.
**[09:36] ---**
    Thank you for the food!
**[09:38] ---**
    Only the three of us here
    to celebrate is pretty lame.
**[09:42] ---**
    Hey, Asuma Sensei…
    So does that mean I can eat the rest?
**[09:48] ---**
    Hey Choji, I heard all about it!
**[09:51] ---**
    How you were flirting with
    all of the nurses!
**[09:56] ---**
    Ino… I'm going to tell you
    the one truth about men.
**[10:02] ---**
    There isn't a man alive who
    doesn't go crazy over nurses!
**[10:06] ---**
    Right, Asuma Sensei?
**[10:08] ---**
    Hmm? Y-Yeah, I guess…
**[10:10] ---**
    What kind of nonsense is that?
**[10:13] ---**
    Asuma Sensei only has eyes
    for Kurenai Sensei!
**[10:16] ---**
    Huh? Is that true?
**[10:18] ---**
    I'd like three more orders
    of the special beef filet!
**[10:20] ---**
    Right now!
**[10:22] ---**
    Score!
**[10:24] ---**
    But…
**[10:26] ---**
    *Open wide, Sasuke!*
**[10:29] ---**
    *Thank you, Ino. I owe you my life!*
**[10:36] ---**
    That might work…
**[10:43] ---**
    Why am I feeding you?!
**[10:46] ---**
    I never refuse food
    that's offered to me.
**[10:48] ---**
    That is my Ninja Way!
**[10:50] ---**
    Another helping please!
**[10:53] ---**
    Right when you were discharged,
    you were still skinny.
**[10:56] ---**
    That sure didn't last long.
**[10:59] ---**
    With that kind of appetite,
    I'd say you're back to normal.
**[11:03] ---**
    When I'm done eating,
    can you help me train, Asuma Sensei?
**[11:07] ---**
    Hey! Are you stupid?
**[11:10] ---**
    You just got better!
**[11:13] ---**
    Man, everyone's so stuck
    on training…
**[11:18] ---**
    How come you're so eager
    to get back to training, Choji?
**[11:22] ---**
    For starters,
    I want to catch up to Shikamaru
**[11:25] ---**
    who beat me in becoming
    a chunin.
**[11:27] ---**
    After all, together
    we're the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
**[11:30] ---**
    Do your best too! Okay, Ino?
**[11:33] ---**
    I don't need you to tell me that.
**[11:36] ---**
    MOHAWK FISH MARKET
    
**[11:42] ---**
    All right!
**[11:45] ---**
    Don't get too confident because
    of one or two successes.
**[11:48] ---**
    You have to become faster
    and more efficient.
**[11:51] ---**
    No one waits for treatment
    on the battlefield.
**[11:54] ---**
    Yes!
**[12:11] ---**
    Who's there?
**[12:20] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[12:22] ---**
    Please make me your apprentice!
**[12:24] ---**
    You belong to the Yamanaka Clan…
**[12:31] ---**
    Sakura was able to revive
    that in three months.
**[12:35] ---**
    I'll test you…and see how far
    you get in three months.
**[12:43] ---**
    I understand. Please let me try!
**[12:51] ---**
    This thing?
**[12:53] ---**
    Usually, the way to resuscitate
    a creature that has asphyxiated
**[12:56] ---**
    is to stimulate the heart
    or brain with chakra.
**[13:01] ---**
    Octopi generally have one systemic heart
    and two branchial hearts.
**[13:05] ---**
    And separate from the brain,
**[13:07] ---**
    they have eight nervous systems
    in their arms.
**[13:10] ---**
    It has many organs vital
    to resuscitation.
**[13:15] ---**
    In other words,
**[13:16] ---**
    it has a lot of parts that need
    to be taken care of.
**[13:19] ---**
    Oh…
**[13:20] ---**
    You can quit if you don't like it!
**[13:22] ---**
    And you, Sakura! You are completely
    deficient in the knowledge of healing!
**[13:28] ---**
    I have to learn…all of this?!
**[13:30] ---**
    You can quit if you don't like it!
**[14:07] ---**
    That happens because
    your chakra control is too rough.
**[14:10] ---**
    You have to fine-tune
    your method,
**[14:12] ---**
    or the octopus would
    be ripped apart.
**[14:15] ---**
    Control your chakra more delicately!
**[14:19] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[14:21] ---**
    *She's having a hard time.*
**[14:33] ---**
    *She's made some mistakes,*
    *but in this short time, she's…*
**[15:09] ---**
    – I'll never lose to you!
    – I'll never lose to you!
**[16:02] ---**
    MOHAWK FISH MARKET
    
**[16:07] ---**
    It's three months today.
**[16:09] ---**
    Try it, Ino.
**[16:11] ---**
    Yes!
**[16:35] ---**
    You did it!
**[16:37] ---**
    H-Hey, Sakura!
**[16:42] ---**
    You took too long, and made
    a lot of pointless errors.
**[16:46] ---**
    While it took me three months too,
    I was able to complete it more smoothly.
**[16:49] ---**
    Shut up!
**[16:50] ---**
    You broke my concentration since
    you kept peeking over at me!
**[16:54] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[16:55] ---**
    What yourself!
**[17:00] ---**
    You pass!
**[17:09] ---**
    What made you start
    learning Medical Ninjutsu?
**[17:13] ---**
    Huh?
**[17:17] ---**
    I wanted to create…
    a place where I belong.
**[17:23] ---**
    Naruto…
**[17:25] ---**
    Naruto kept his promise
    to me and got beat up.
**[17:31] ---**
    He acted reckless
    all because of me…
**[17:33] ---**
    I was always in the back,
    following them…
**[17:38] ---**
    But I'm a member of the team too.
**[17:42] ---**
    I wanted to walk
    shoulder to shoulder with them.
**[17:46] ---**
    So I promised myself…
**[17:49] ---**
    That from now on, I would.
**[17:54] ---**
    *It's so you can keep up with them…*
**[17:57] ---**
    *…and in order to protect*
    *the Ino-Shika-Cho tradition,*
**[17:59] ---**
    *and our clan's tradition…*
**[18:01] ---**
    *That's why I must pass on*
    *our Secret Ninjutsu to you.*
**[18:05] ---**
    *After all, together*
    *we're the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.*
**[18:09] ---**
    *Do your best too! Okay, Ino?*
**[18:14] ---**
    *Team 10 is where I belong.*
**[18:17] ---**
    *And…I also want to walk*
    *shoulder to shoulder with them.*
**[18:22] ---**
    *But…*
**[18:23] ---**
    *Without a doubt,*
**[18:25] ---**
    *it will take several years to*
    *master the Secret Ninjutsu.*
**[18:30] ---**
    *Maybe I was running away*
    *and taking the easy way out…*
**[18:39] ---**
    Hey, those wounds!
**[18:41] ---**
    Oh, I guess I hurt it earlier.
**[18:45] ---**
    – This is nothing.
    – That's not good!
**[18:50] ---**
    Ino...
**[18:53] ---**
    Thanks, Sakura…
**[18:56] ---**
    I'm going back to
    the place where I belong…
**[19:03] ---**
    There. That should do it.
**[19:10] ---**
    *Choji's Expansion Jutsu…*
    *It's way more than it used to be.*
**[19:14] ---**
    *The size, power,*
    *and duration of it…*
**[19:16] ---**
    *He's improved so much from before.*
**[19:23] ---**
    *Sakura too…*
    *Aside from Medical Ninjutsu,*
**[19:25] ---**
    *she had that awesome skill*
    *up her sleeve.*
**[19:30] ---**
    Both of you have really progressed.
**[19:32] ---**
    I have to try harder too!
**[19:34] ---**
    Yup! Let's aim to pass
    the Chunin Exams and do our best!
**[19:41] ---**
    Yeah… Making sure we eat
    is important too.
**[19:49] ---**
    Here you go!
**[19:51] ---**
    I never turn down offers of food.
    I know that's my Ninja Way, but…
**[19:56] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[19:57] ---**
    Once you process it,
**[19:58] ---**
    that scorpion's toxin
    becomes medicinal!
**[20:00] ---**
    Don't tell me that battle…
    was to gather provisions?!
**[20:04] ---**
    It's rich in amino acids and
    perfect for healing.
**[20:07] ---**
    Come on, let's eat!
**[20:20] ---**
    Maybe you're the one
    who's matured the most.
**[20:34] ---**
    Looks like it's the two women
    and the fatso from the Hidden Leaf.
**[20:38] ---**
    The team of Sakura Haruno…
    Lady Tsunade's apprentice.
**[20:42] ---**
    That powerful fatso's team? Interesting.
**[20:45] ---**
    Besides that, this team
    has two Medical Ninja.
**[20:50] ---**
    Two Medical Ninja on one team?
**[20:53] ---**
    Whatever. Let's get going.
**[20:55] ---**
    Since you don't plan on
    ambushing them, right?
**[22:37] ---**
    Found it!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    I sense the three chakra I felt
    when we were traveling.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    The enemy is on their way here.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    When did you start being
    able to sense things?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    That's amazing!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Right? I wish I could agree,
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    but in actual combat,
    it's still difficult for me.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    If I have the time
    to concentrate, I can do it.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Yamanaka Clan: Secret Ninjutsu"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    We don't have that kind
    of time to spare though…

**[00:09] ---**
    We have to reach
    the oasis sometime today,
**[00:11] ---**
    or else our provisions
    will be in trouble!
**[00:14] ---**
    We have water that I extracted out
    of that giant scorpion,
**[00:16] ---**
    so we can still get by!
**[00:19] ---**
    Well, I refuse to "get by"
    with scorpion water
**[00:21] ---**
    for the rest of the Chunin Exam!
**[00:27] ---**
    It's just like you planned.
**[00:29] ---**
    I didn't account for this.
**[00:37] ---**
    You are...
**[02:10] ---**
    *The Yamanaka Clan:*
    *Secret Ninjutsu*
    
    
**[02:20] ---**
    You are...
**[02:29] ---**
    Please hand over your scroll.
**[02:31] ---**
    Then we will allow you access to
    the water in the oasis up ahead.
**[02:35] ---**
    And if you wish, medical treatment.
**[02:37] ---**
    What?!
    We don't need to be treated by you!
**[02:40] ---**
    We have our own medical specialist!
**[02:44] ---**
    Ino…
**[02:45] ---**
    Yeah.
**[02:46] ---**
    Besides, no one told us the oasis's
    water belonged to anyone.
**[02:50] ---**
    You tell 'em Choji!
**[02:52] ---**
    Sakura, you tell 'em too!
**[02:55] ---**
    We don't need treatment,
    but we definitely need water.
**[02:58] ---**
    Hey, we'll lose even before we fight,
    if you get weak like that!
**[03:01] ---**
    Ino!
**[03:06] ---**
    Sand Formation: Shisa!
**[03:14] ---**
    Ino!
**[03:16] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[03:19] ---**
    So she was a pawn?
**[03:21] ---**
    Jumping within my range of attack
    without taking any precautions…
**[03:27] ---**
    I heard this team had two Medical Ninja
    and was curious…
**[03:31] ---**
    But she doesn't have
    the cool-headed judgment
**[03:34] ---**
    required of a Medical Ninja.
**[03:36] ---**
    How disappointing that
    my expectations were unwarranted.
**[03:41] ---**
    Which means… No more negotiating.
**[03:44] ---**
    Seems that way.
**[03:46] ---**
    You just fired us up!
**[03:48] ---**
    Choji and I will break through this!
**[03:55] ---**
    *Medical Water Style!*
    *Water Praying Mantis!*
**[04:09] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[04:10] ---**
    Once we get your scroll,
    I'll treat your wound.
**[04:16] ---**
    *It's not an ordinary Water Style blade.*
**[04:19] ---**
    *It's as sharp as a Chakra Scalpel.*
**[04:23] ---**
    *She's very strong!*
**[04:26] ---**
    *Saganken: Sand Stone Fist!*
**[04:36] ---**
    Damn! I missed!
**[04:40] ---**
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[04:47] ---**
    *This sand fist…is equal to*
    *my size and power…*
**[04:51] ---**
    *But…*
**[04:57] ---**
    *…it's ridiculously hard.*
**[05:01] ---**
    *And it must be pretty heavy…*
**[05:04] ---**
    *But he easily…*
**[05:09] ---**
    Let's see who's stronger!
**[05:20] ---**
    *Amazing… To see through*
    *successive attacks…*
**[05:28] ---**
    Damn it…
**[05:44] ---**
    Your attack is boring!
**[05:51] ---**
    He just took a blind swing!
**[05:57] ---**
    You seem to be having a hard time.
**[05:59] ---**
    Not as hard as you.
**[06:01] ---**
    You two…
    are fooling around too much.
**[06:03] ---**
    Did you finish infusing chakra?
**[06:06] ---**
    Here I go!
**[06:08] ---**
    Polarized Sand Formation.
**[06:10] ---**
    Burning Sand Camouflage!
**[06:21] ---**
    They disappeared!
**[06:26] ---**
    Choji!
**[06:36] ---**
    This is not the time…
**[06:37] ---**
    to worry about the others.
**[06:52] ---**
    Now, how will you fight
    a foe you can't see?
**[06:55] ---**
    Choji…
**[06:57] ---**
    If we scatter,
    we'll be at a disadvantage.
**[07:00] ---**
    You got my back?
**[07:01] ---**
    U-Uh-huh!
**[07:11] ---**
    Sakura… Choji…
**[07:31] ---**
    At 8 o'clock, distance 10…
**[07:34] ---**
    At 3 o'clock, distance 5…
    Two of them.
**[07:38] ---**
    At 6 o'clock, distance 30.
**[07:56] ---**
    *It's no good!*
    *My chakra's disrupted…*
**[07:59] ---**
    *I can't tell!*
**[08:07] ---**
    *If my concentration*
    *lapses even a little,*
**[08:09] ---**
    *my Sensory Perception*
    *doesn't work.*
**[08:12] ---**
    *I can't use this in actual battle…*
**[08:15] ---**
    *I'm sorry, Choji.*
**[08:17] ---**
    *I wanted to get this down*
    *by the Chunin Exams, but…*
**[08:20] ---**
    *It's okay.*
**[08:22] ---**
    *The fact that you can even*
    *do Sensory Perception*
**[08:23] ---**
    *is amazing to me.*
**[08:25] ---**
    *You can't use it in real battle,*
    *that's for sure.*
**[08:30] ---**
    *However…*
**[08:31] ---**
    *It's these little tricks*
    *you think you can't use*
**[08:33] ---**
    *that somehow work in*
    *an unexpected surprise attack.*
**[08:49] ---**
    Not yet...
**[08:51] ---**
    …we can't let it end yet.
**[08:53] ---**
    Nah… Let's finish things up here.
**[09:00] ---**
    Choji, watch out!
**[09:02] ---**
    How do I watch out for
    a foe I can't see?
**[09:04] ---**
    Figure it out yourself!
**[09:06] ---**
    In the direction of six o'clock!
**[09:20] ---**
    All right!
**[09:22] ---**
    Thank you, Shikamaru!
**[09:28] ---**
    Found them! The three of them
    are on the move.
**[09:31] ---**
    I sense their chakra…
**[09:32] ---**
    The enemy should be
    heading this way.
**[09:35] ---**
    Since when do you
    have sensory powers?
**[09:38] ---**
    That's amazing!
**[09:39] ---**
    "Right?!"
    …is what I want to say,
**[09:43] ---**
    but in actual combat,
    it's still difficult for me.
**[09:46] ---**
    If I have the time
    to concentrate I can do it.
**[09:50] ---**
    I see…
**[09:51] ---**
    Well, no enemy will give us
    the luxury of time…
**[10:00] ---**
    If there's no time to spare,
    you just have to steal it!
**[10:03] ---**
    I pretended to be a pawn
    to buy time
**[10:04] ---**
    and use Sensory Perception.
**[10:07] ---**
    Don't be so proud of yourself
    for fooling us.
**[10:09] ---**
    We thought he got you.
**[10:12] ---**
    Now, now…
**[10:16] ---**
    We're taking this.
**[10:21] ---**
    You can't buy time
    for damage this small.
**[10:27] ---**
    What? What the hell is going on?!
**[10:41] ---**
    I never expected
**[10:42] ---**
    a Sensory Perception user
    to be among you.
**[10:46] ---**
    *That counter attack was*
    *perfectly executed…*
**[10:52] ---**
    *I'm shocked it didn't work…*
**[10:54] ---**
    *But the speed with which*
    *she undid the damage…*
**[10:58] ---**
    I had kneaded chakra earlier
**[11:00] ---**
    for this Medical Water Style
    Water Jellyfish .
**[11:03] ---**
    If it weren't for
    this self-healing...
**[11:06] ---**
    We would have been in trouble.
**[11:15] ---**
    Kouji, Shishio…
**[11:16] ---**
    I'm out of Water Jellyfish,
    but can you still continue?
**[11:20] ---**
    Sure… This time,
    I won't allow any sensing!
**[11:27] ---**
    Choji, Sakura!
**[11:29] ---**
    I'll track them with…
**[11:32] ---**
    Th-This is a sensory barrier?!
**[11:35] ---**
    Blinding Sand Formation: Noise!
**[11:38] ---**
    I won't let you sense us anymore!
**[11:43] ---**
    Ino!
**[11:48] ---**
    Be grateful to Ameno.
**[11:50] ---**
    She gets really upset
    if I do too much damage.
**[12:12] ---**
    What? What is it?
    You're so antsy.
**[12:16] ---**
    Are you so worried about
    your daughter's Chunin Exam?
**[12:19] ---**
    I won't make any excuses, but…
**[12:21] ---**
    my daughter's what you call
**[12:22] ---**
    a jack-of-all-trades
    and master of none.
**[12:26] ---**
    Before I knew it,
**[12:27] ---**
    she turned her back on
    training in our Secret Jutsu…
**[12:29] ---**
    and took up
    Medical Ninjutsu training.
**[12:32] ---**
    I mean… She's been such
    a burden to you, Lady Tsunade…
**[12:36] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[12:37] ---**
    Besides, I don't intend to
    make her a Medical Ninja.
**[12:43] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:44] ---**
    I just thought it would come
    in handy someday.
**[12:48] ---**
    Since she skipped out training
    for the Secret Jutsu
**[12:50] ---**
    to come learn under me...
**[12:56] ---**
    *If I can't sense them,*
**[12:57] ---**
    *I can't get into*
    *Mind Transfer mode.*
**[12:59] ---**
    *So I'll contact those two*
    *with Mind Transmission...*
**[13:06] ---**
    *Sakura, Choji… Can you hear me?*
**[13:08] ---**
    *I-I hear you.*
**[13:10] ---**
    *Ino! Can you do something*
    *to sense the enemy?!*
**[13:14] ---**
    *My Sensory Perception*
    *is being blocked.*
**[13:16] ---**
    *But…I think the enemy's attack*
    *follows a pattern.*
**[13:18] ---**
    *That's pretty obvious!*
**[13:26] ---**
    *The enemy attacks*
    *from your blind side.*
**[13:28] ---**
    *Like just now,*
    *I can see Choji's opponent.*
**[13:32] ---**
    *Except, it's already too late*
    *when I see one coming.*
**[13:35] ---**
    *I knew it…*
**[13:47] ---**
    *You can communicate with*
    *several people at once.*
**[13:51] ---**
    *This is*
    *the Mind Transmission Jutsu.*
**[13:54] ---**
    *Transmission of intel is*
    *a basic part of battle strategy.*
**[13:56] ---**
    *As long as the enemy*
    *doesn't find out,*
**[13:58] ---**
    *it's a huge military asset.*
**[14:00] ---**
    *You learned an awesome jutsu, Ino!*
**[14:03] ---**
    *I-I guess…*
**[14:07] ---**
    *The more useful the jutsu,*
    *the riskier it is.*
**[14:09] ---**
    *That goes for the Mind*
    *Transmission Jutsu as well.*
**[14:12] ---**
    *If you misjudge your level of skill*
**[14:14] ---**
    *and carelessly increase*
    *the jutsu's intensity,*
**[14:16] ---**
    *in the worst case you could die.*
**[14:20] ---**
    *By increasing the intensity,*
    *do you mean*
**[14:22] ---**
    *widening the scope or increasing*
    *the number of people involved?*
**[14:25] ---**
    *I guess that would change*
    *how we strategize…*
**[14:29] ---**
    *Yes…*
**[14:30] ---**
    *There are levels within*
    *the Mind Transmission Jutsu*
**[14:32] ---**
    *that correlates to the user's skill.*
**[14:35] ---**
    *Transmission speed, the scope,*
**[14:37] ---**
    *the number of people*
    *in the conversation…*
**[14:38] ---**
    *These change according*
    *to the user's level.*
**[14:41] ---**
    *And when truly mastered,*
**[14:43] ---**
    *you are able to transmit*
    *what is most precious.*
**[14:48] ---**
    *What is most precious?*
**[14:51] ---**
    *The Mind Transmission Jutsu…*
**[14:52] ---**
    *In other words, using your body
    *to communicate what is in someone's heart.*
**[14:56] ---**
    *On the battlefield,*
**[14:57] ---**
    *when you can feel the intensity of*
    *your teammates thoughts for you…*
**[15:00] ---**
    *that gives you more courage*
    *than anything.*
**[15:04] ---**
    *I've only scratched*
    *the surface of this jutsu…*
**[15:07] ---**
    *If only I had spent*
    *more time training…*
**[15:11] ---**
    *If only I had spent the time*
    *I used training in Medical Ninjutsu,*
**[15:14] ---**
    *training with Dad…*
**[15:17] ---**
    *That happens because*
    *your chakra control is too rough.*
**[15:20] ---**
    *Control your chakra more delicately!*
**[15:25] ---**
    Lady Tsunade…
**[15:30] ---**
    Sakura, Choji, listen up!
**[15:35] ---**
    *Huh?!*
**[15:36] ---**
    *You can do that?!*
**[15:37] ---**
    It doesn't matter… I have to do it.
**[15:40] ---**
    I have to raise my level
    much, much more.
**[15:44] ---**
    Mind Transmission Jutsu!
**[15:47] ---**
    Send Sakura's thoughts to Choji!
**[15:54] ---**
    It worked!
**[15:55] ---**
    Send these thoughts to Choji.
**[16:03] ---**
    I did it!
**[16:06] ---**
    I saw something, but at this rate,
    I won't make it in time.
**[16:09] ---**
    Transmitting takes too long.
**[16:11] ---**
    I have to send Sakura's thoughts
    straight to Choji.
**[16:18] ---**
    *I won't give up! More! More!*
**[16:22] ---**
    *I will raise the level of*
    *my Mind Transmission!*
**[16:29] ---**
    *More…more…*
**[16:32] ---**
    *More…more!*
**[16:43] ---**
    *My thoughts this time!*
**[16:51] ---**
    Cha…
**[17:08] ---**
    How?
**[17:14] ---**
    How could you... Impossible!
**[17:17] ---**
    Intense feelings decided
    the outcome of this fight.
**[17:20] ---**
    Ino, are you still up to it?
**[17:22] ---**
    Of course!
**[17:24] ---**
    Then let's finish this.
**[17:28] ---**
    Right.
**[17:28] ---**
    W-Wait!
**[17:31] ---**
    – No excuses!
    – No excuses!
**[17:56] ---**
    All right, that should do it.
**[17:58] ---**
    We're in the middle of
    the Chunin Exams
**[17:59] ---**
    and we're on opposite sides,
    so thank you.
**[18:02] ---**
    I'm a Medical Kunoichi.
    This is what we do.
**[18:07] ---**
    Is it any wonder guys
    love Medical Kunoichi?!
**[18:10] ---**
    Why are you saying
    that nonsense again?!
**[18:16] ---**
    Moe, moe!
**[18:24] ---**
    Well, let's get going.
**[18:28] ---**
    But are you sure about this?
**[18:30] ---**
    Yes. We have our scrolls.
**[18:33] ---**
    Just the water itself is appreciated.
**[18:36] ---**
    But…
**[18:37] ---**
    Talk about complete defeat…
**[18:40] ---**
    Well, we'll get both scrolls and
    get our revenge in the Third Exam.
**[18:45] ---**
    Yup. I don't consider this
    a victory either.
**[18:48] ---**
    So let's settle it next time we meet.
**[18:52] ---**
    The barrier you put up against
    my Sensory Perception was really tough.
**[18:55] ---**
    No, we underestimated your skill.
**[18:58] ---**
    That was our downfall.
**[18:59] ---**
    He's right!
**[19:01] ---**
    When did you learn
    to do that anyway?!
**[19:04] ---**
    Huh? Well…
**[19:09] ---**
    What's the saying?
    "He who knows, speaks least."
**[19:12] ---**
    I just wanted to prove that
    I'm Lady Tsunade's apprentice too.
**[19:16] ---**
    Well said!
**[19:18] ---**
    Anyway, we'll be going this way.
**[19:21] ---**
    And we'll go this way.
**[19:30] ---**
    SENSORY PERCEPTION DIVISION
**[19:32] ---**
    Extreme delicacy is
    required to perform
**[19:33] ---**
    the Secret Ninjutsu of
    the Yamanaka Clan.
**[19:35] ---**
    I have no doubt that the chakra control
    skill required in Medical Ninjutsu
**[19:38] ---**
    will come in handy.
**[19:41] ---**
    Lady Tsunade…!
**[19:42] ---**
    It may seem she's taking a detour,
    but she's learning what she must.
**[19:48] ---**
    And you, as her father must
    be well aware of that.
**[19:56] ---**
    *In time, you will surpass me…*
**[19:59] ---**
    *In fact, I have faith that*
    *you will become*
**[20:01] ---**
    *the foremost shinobi*
    *of the Yamanaka Clan!*
**[20:06] ---**
    Those guys were pretty formidable.
**[20:09] ---**
    Who knows what would have
    happened if you weren't here Ino.
**[20:12] ---**
    Don't say that. You two bought
    me time, that's why.
**[20:17] ---**
    If you two didn't give it your all,
    who knows…?
**[20:22] ---**
    *I'm sorry, Dad, for skipping out*
    *on my training.*
**[20:25] ---**
    *Please forgive me, Lady Tsunade…*
**[20:27] ---**
    *For thinking that Medical Ninjutsu*
    *was an easy way out.*
**[20:31] ---**
    *Your guidance and training*
    *in Medical Ninjutsu helped me to grow.*
**[20:38] ---**
    *Calm decision-making,*
    *delicate chakra control…*
**[20:42] ---**
    *Everything is pushing me in*
    *the direction that I'm destined to go.*
**[20:45] ---**
    All right, let's do our best
    and reach our goal!
**[20:49] ---**
    Okay.
**[22:38] ---**
    What? A doll? An enemy?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Sakura! How are you doing physically?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    You guys made it possible
    for me to rest so I'm okay.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    He's a puppet user!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Ino, he's coming this way!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    If our enemy is a puppet user,
    if we get the jutsu user then we'll...
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Sakura, use my body!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Leave it to me!
    
    
**[22:57] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Cursed Puppet*
    
    
**[01:36] ---**
    Hey, we have both scrolls,
    so let's go straight for the goal.
**[01:40] ---**
    I wish we could,
**[01:42] ---**
    but there's a high risk of
    getting ambushed.
**[01:45] ---**
    We should stick to Sakura's plan
    and take the detour.
**[01:51] ---**
    Sakura…?
**[01:55] ---**
    Sakura!
**[02:10] ---**
    Sakura…
**[02:15] ---**
    Two dams…
**[02:19] ---**
    Next, I'm going to teach you
    the jutsu to revive all the organs,
**[02:22] ---**
    the entire system.
**[02:24] ---**
    It's called the Ninja Art:
    Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu.
**[02:28] ---**
    Ninja Art…
    Mitotic Regeneration?
**[02:32] ---**
    This isn't a jutsu that revolves
    around healing skills.
**[02:35] ---**
    It's the same kind of
    regeneration jutsu
**[02:37] ---**
    that the First Hokage used.
**[02:40] ---**
    The First Hokage had
    such enormous chakra that
**[02:43] ---**
    he could activate it
    without weaving signs.
**[02:46] ---**
    I don't have
    that kind of immense chakra.
**[02:49] ---**
    So…there's one more jutsu
    I will teach you.
**[02:53] ---**
    It's called
    The 100 Healings Jutsu.
**[02:55] ---**
    The 100 Healings Jutsu?
**[02:58] ---**
    Even I don't have the kind of chakra
    that the First Hokage had.
**[03:01] ---**
    So I developed this jutsu.
**[03:05] ---**
    By using it, you can keep
    a huge amount of chakra in reserve.
**[03:09] ---**
    By combining these two,
**[03:12] ---**
    the body will continue
    to regenerate and
**[03:14] ---**
    you will not die during that time.
**[03:16] ---**
    A-Amazing…
**[03:19] ---**
    However, there's a problem with
    The 100 Healings Jutsu.
**[03:23] ---**
    Not only does it require extremely
    delicate chakra control,
**[03:27] ---**
    you must amass chakra
    for three years.
**[03:32] ---**
    Three years…?
**[03:39] ---**
    You have a constant amount
    of chakra infused.
**[03:42] ---**
    Well, you must maintain
    that state for three years!
**[03:59] ---**
    100 HEALINGS
**[04:03] ---**
    *I have to maintain this condition*
    *for three years?!*
**[04:17] ---**
    Sakura!
**[04:26] ---**
    Due to the effect of
    The 100 Healings Jutsu,
**[04:27] ---**
    your normal chakra level
    has become extremely low.
**[04:31] ---**
    This will only be a hindrance
    during healing and in battle.
**[04:35] ---**
    At this rate, I can't allow you
    to perform any surgery
**[04:38] ---**
    or go out into the battlefield.
**[04:44] ---**
    *The 100 Healings Jutsu creates*
    *a smaller secondary dam*
**[04:47] ---**
    *in which to store*
    *the chakra reserve…*
**[04:52] ---**
    *If I keep two dams of chakra and*
**[04:54] ---**
    *make sure I use each of them*
    *for their specific purpose…*
**[04:57] ---**
    *I should be able to perform surgery*
    *as well as fight in battles!*
**[05:10] ---**
    Ino! Choji!
**[05:12] ---**
    Is it an enemy?
**[05:14] ---**
    A doll?
**[05:19] ---**
    You're such a good girl…
**[05:29] ---**
    …for finding me some prey.
**[05:34] ---**
    Sakura, are you holding up physically?
**[05:36] ---**
    Yes, since you let me rest…
**[05:39] ---**
    Elder Sister,
    let's hurry and kill them.
**[05:43] ---**
    Don't be so hasty, Sana.
    You'll get Saya mad.
**[05:48] ---**
    I'm sure Elder Sister wants to
    get this over with quickly too.
**[05:52] ---**
    Right, Elder Sister…?
**[05:56] ---**
    All right then…
**[06:01] ---**
    Saya, damn you…!
**[06:08] ---**
    L-Lady Saya!
**[06:11] ---**
    I shall take my time…
**[06:15] ---**
    and curse these victims
    that my doll has found.
**[06:18] ---**
    Th-Then which one
    will we kill first?
**[06:22] ---**
    Let's see…
**[06:25] ---**
    They are both quite cute…
**[06:28] ---**
    They will be worth killing.
**[06:32] ---**
    I don't want the fatso…
**[06:34] ---**
    Fatso!
**[06:36] ---**
    You're mine!
**[06:38] ---**
    I…am…
**[06:40] ---**
    pleasingly plump!
**[06:42] ---**
    Put it any way you like.
    A fatso's still a fatso!
**[06:51] ---**
    This guy's dangerous!
**[06:53] ---**
    Choji!
**[06:55] ---**
    Then I'll take the blonde one.
**[06:56] ---**
    She is mine.
**[06:59] ---**
    Then one with
    the big forehead…
**[07:00] ---**
    She is mine as well.
**[07:03] ---**
    Fatso!
**[07:05] ---**
    I said I'm pleasingly plump!
**[07:08] ---**
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[07:17] ---**
    That was close!
**[07:21] ---**
    Choji!
**[07:27] ---**
    She's…a Puppet User!
**[07:38] ---**
    You have been cursed.
**[07:40] ---**
    You can no longer…
    escape from her.
**[07:46] ---**
    *If she's the Puppet User,*
**[07:48] ---**
    *as long as we bring down*
    *the jutsu caster…*
**[07:50] ---**
    Sakura, my body…!
**[07:52] ---**
    Leave it to me!
**[07:53] ---**
    Mind…!
**[08:02] ---**
    Puppet Imitation Jutsu.
**[08:08] ---**
    Ino…?
**[08:12] ---**
    Ino?!
**[08:19] ---**
    Choji!
**[08:26] ---**
    *It's up to me to do this…*
**[08:29] ---**
    *But…*
**[08:36] ---**
    Ino! Sakura!
**[08:38] ---**
    This is not the time to worry
    about your friends.
**[08:41] ---**
    You're in quite a bind too, you know.
**[08:46] ---**
    Super Expansion Jutsu!
**[08:58] ---**
    I'll eat you!
**[09:03] ---**
    Ino!
**[09:12] ---**
    W-What is it?
**[09:15] ---**
    Puppet Imitation Jutsu!
**[09:22] ---**
    I realized it after I was
    under that jutsu.
**[09:25] ---**
    She calls it a curse,
    but it's not a Puppet Jutsu.
**[09:27] ---**
    It's closer to
    a Mind Transfer Jutsu.
**[09:31] ---**
    Aw man!
**[09:32] ---**
    The Yamanaka Clan's reputation
    is ruined!
**[09:41] ---**
    Elder Sister, thanks for
    coming to my rescue!
**[09:43] ---**
    Lady Saya!
**[09:44] ---**
    Curse those guys!
**[09:46] ---**
    – There's no need to tell me that.
    – There's no need to tell me that.
**[09:48] ---**
    – I shall show no mercy.
    – I shall show no mercy.
**[09:51] ---**
    This doll is mine…
**[09:53] ---**
    Now, go!
**[09:55] ---**
    Punish your arrogant friends!
**[10:01] ---**
    I-Ino, he's coming this way!
**[10:04] ---**
    Then there's only one way.
    We have to get the jutsu caster…
**[10:11] ---**
    Ino…?
**[10:13] ---**
    No one beats the Yamanaka Clan
    in Mind Transfer!
**[10:18] ---**
    Mind Transfer Jutsu!
**[10:27] ---**
    Choji!
**[10:29] ---**
    Oh?
**[10:30] ---**
    That's not nice.
**[10:31] ---**
    You can't enter my doll
    without permission…
**[10:36] ---**
    Get out!
**[10:37] ---**
    Choji is our friend!
**[10:39] ---**
    So *you* get out!
**[10:55] ---**
    *At this rate, I can't allow you*
    *to perform any surgery*
**[10:58] ---**
    *or go out into the battlefront.*
**[11:04] ---**
    *I need much…much more chakra…*
**[11:24] ---**
    *I need much…more chakra…*
**[11:35] ---**
    *Back then, I was…*
**[11:38] ---**
    *always being protected by those two…*
**[11:41] ---**
    *and watching from behind.*
**[11:45] ---**
    *But times have changed.*
**[11:49] ---**
    *If I have chakra, I can fight.*
**[11:58] ---**
    Isn't that magnificent?
**[12:00] ---**
    I guess you're just about ready.
**[12:03] ---**
    Not yet.
**[12:05] ---**
    I need more power in order
    to take down Itachi.
**[12:08] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[12:10] ---**
    The aforementioned reagent
    has just been completed.
**[12:13] ---**
    Oh…
**[12:14] ---**
    The one to test on Suigetsu?
**[12:17] ---**
    Who is overseeing the experiment?
**[12:18] ---**
    I'll have Karin do it.
**[12:20] ---**
    Aren't they both in
    the east hideout?
**[12:23] ---**
    Yes, I'm dispatching
    a subordinate right away to bring them.
**[12:26] ---**
    I'll go get them.
**[12:28] ---**
    Oh?
**[12:28] ---**
    What brought this on?
**[12:32] ---**
    I'm bored, that's all.
**[12:43] ---**
    Wonders never cease.
    I can't believe you're here.
**[12:48] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[12:49] ---**
    I'm leaving the minute
    I'm done here.
**[12:51] ---**
    I-I'm not worried!
**[12:54] ---**
    Anyway, you're late bringing
    the medicine!
**[13:00] ---**
    I'm so disappointed that
    Orochimaru's lackey is you.
**[13:07] ---**
    I sure hope you don't plan
**[13:08] ---**
    on becoming Orochimaru's pet
    like this one.
**[13:13] ---**
    Who did you call a pet?!
**[13:15] ---**
    I'm going to get ready
    for the experiment.
**[13:18] ---**
    Sasuke, don't bother with this guy!
**[13:23] ---**
    Sasuke, seriously…
    Will you help me?
**[13:27] ---**
    I'm sick and tired of this place.
**[13:31] ---**
    That all depends on your strength.
**[13:34] ---**
    Sheesh…
**[13:46] ---**
    Hey…
**[13:55] ---**
    Aw man, what kind of horrible experiment
    is it gonna be this time?
**[14:14] ---**
    Hey, you…!
**[14:18] ---**
    You fool, what are you doing?!
**[14:20] ---**
    Lucky me!
**[14:28] ---**
    You let Suigetsu escape…?!
**[14:33] ---**
    When I came to,
    everything was like this.
**[14:36] ---**
    Damn it!
**[14:37] ---**
    If Lord Orochimaru finds out
    about this, he'll take it out on me!
**[14:41] ---**
    We're going after him now!
    Round up everyone!
**[14:44] ---**
    And what good will
    that do against him?
**[14:48] ---**
    Sasuke! You're still here?!
**[14:51] ---**
    I figured it might be interesting
    to watch the experiment.
**[14:54] ---**
    Anyway, what will you do?
**[14:57] ---**
    Do...?
**[14:59] ---**
    Since I'm here,
    I'll lend you a hand.
**[15:07] ---**
    Over that way…
**[15:09] ---**
    Towards 1 o'clock!
**[15:11] ---**
    Sensory Perception?
**[15:14] ---**
    Yeah, if it's someone I know,
    I can go after their chakra.
**[15:17] ---**
    That's convenient.
**[15:18] ---**
    But I don't get it.
**[15:20] ---**
    With that kind of power,
**[15:22] ---**
    I'd think you could get away
    from Orochimaru.
**[15:26] ---**
    That's because…
**[15:30] ---**
    *Help!*
**[15:32] ---**
    *I'll bet this redhead*
    *is a remnant*
**[15:34] ---**
    *of a clan from the Hidden Eddies…*
**[15:36] ---**
    *You were right that*
    *she'd be worth something.*
**[15:39] ---**
    *Let me go! Let me go!*
**[15:40] ---**
    *She's a pretty feisty kid.*
**[15:43] ---**
    *I hear you have an unusual power.*
**[15:48] ---**
    *We'll get a good price*
    *for you underground.*
**[16:01] ---**
    *A shinobi without a homeland*
**[16:03] ---**
    *is quite tragic.*
**[16:05] ---**
    *No matter where you end up,*
    *you're treated like a outcast.*
**[16:09] ---**
    *And if you possess attributes*
    *that are unusual,*
**[16:12] ---**
    *they come after you…*
    *as long as you're living.*
**[16:17] ---**
    *Well… I speak as*
    *one of the hunted too.*
**[16:24] ---**
    *But, you know…*
**[16:26] ---**
    *You must decide for yourself.*
**[16:29] ---**
    *If you come with me,*
    *no one will ever touch you again.*
**[16:37] ---**
    If I have to follow someone…
**[16:40] ---**
    I'd rather it be someone strong.
**[16:42] ---**
    So if I'm stronger than Orochimaru,
    you'd follow me?
**[16:52] ---**
    Damn, a river…
**[16:55] ---**
    What a nuisance.
**[16:57] ---**
    Watch out, Sasuke.
**[16:59] ---**
    We may not see him, but he's here.
**[17:02] ---**
    Yeah.
**[17:09] ---**
    I guess I can't fool you.
**[17:14] ---**
    But…
**[17:17] ---**
    I didn't expect you
    to be with her.
**[17:19] ---**
    Sasuke follows Lord Orochimaru!
**[17:22] ---**
    What did you expect?!
**[17:23] ---**
    You be quiet.
**[17:25] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke…
**[17:27] ---**
    If you're willing to follow her,
    why not come with me instead?
**[17:30] ---**
    Huh?! What're you saying, idiot?!
**[17:33] ---**
    I have no reason to argue with you.
**[17:35] ---**
    Don't ignore me!
**[17:37] ---**
    I already answered that question.
**[17:45] ---**
    Oh yeah… you did say it
    all depends on my strength?
**[17:49] ---**
    A Water Clone!
**[18:04] ---**
    Physical attacks don't work on him!
**[18:07] ---**
    Use Lightning Style…!
**[18:08] ---**
    I won't let you weave any signs…
**[18:14] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[18:16] ---**
    I'm so sorry, Sasuke…
**[18:19] ---**
    Just kidding!
**[18:21] ---**
    Hey, that's a nice blade.
**[18:26] ---**
    Well then…
**[18:28] ---**
    You're next…
**[18:31] ---**
    Just obey and return with me.
**[18:33] ---**
    Or you'll regret it.
**[18:36] ---**
    What? Is that a threat?
**[18:52] ---**
    What was that just now?
**[18:54] ---**
    As expected…
    It even worked on you.
**[19:03] ---**
    *Lord Orochimaru said…*
**[19:05] ---**
    *that this chain can even bind*
    *a mass of chakra.*
**[19:09] ---**
    *But I had never used it before.*
**[19:14] ---**
    That's enough, Karin.
**[19:16] ---**
    Put that away.
**[19:18] ---**
    Huh? Sasuke…
**[19:21] ---**
    Put it away.
**[20:00] ---**
    *In time, I'll get these two*
    *on my side.*
**[20:06] ---**
    *Their powers will be worth it.*
**[20:41] ---**
    *Ino's Mind Transfer failed?*
**[20:51] ---**
    *Not yet…I don't have*
    *enough chakra yet…*
**[22:37] ---**
    Choji and Ino are using up
    their chakra
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    due to all these successive battles.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Their strength and willpower
    are at their limits!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Back then, all I ever did
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    was have Sasuke and Naruto
    protect me.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Now, I should be able
    to protect them…
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Like Naruto and Sasuke
    did back then!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Their Backs"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I can't be whining about
    my weaknesses here!
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THEIR BACKS
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Their Backs*
    
    
**[01:38] ---**
    *Not yet... I don't have*
    *enough chakra yet…*
**[02:00] ---**
    Wake up, Choji!
**[02:02] ---**
    Choji!
**[02:03] ---**
    What will you do next,
**[02:07] ---**
    my dear puppet?
**[02:09] ---**
    He's not your puppet!
**[02:11] ---**
    He's my friend!
**[02:17] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[02:19] ---**
    Get out of Choji!
**[02:21] ---**
    You're the one who's getting out!
**[02:28] ---**
    I-I won't lose!
**[02:29] ---**
    There's no way the Yamanaka Clan's
    Mind Transfer Jutsu will be defeated!
**[02:54] ---**
    Ino?!
**[02:58] ---**
    Sister!
**[02:59] ---**
    Lady Saya!
**[03:02] ---**
    My jutsu…
**[03:06] ---**
    My jutsu was undone! No!
**[03:09] ---**
    It wasn't undone...
**[03:11] ---**
    I didn't lose!
**[03:12] ---**
    I didn't…!
**[03:14] ---**
    There's no way I'd lose!
**[03:36] ---**
    Ino!
**[03:37] ---**
    You did it!
**[03:49] ---**
    Ino! Sakura!
**[03:57] ---**
    A puppet…?!
**[04:02] ---**
    It can't be!
**[04:15] ---**
    Over here! Lady Sana!
**[04:18] ---**
    Mamushi, you're alive?
**[04:19] ---**
    Damned right I am!
**[04:21] ---**
    What about…Elder Sister?
**[04:24] ---**
    Lady Saya!
**[04:25] ---**
    Elder Sister, you're all right!
**[04:27] ---**
    I'm okay…
**[04:29] ---**
    But my doll is broken.
**[04:33] ---**
    I can't believe your jutsu
    was defeated…Lady Saya.
**[04:36] ---**
    What?!
**[04:38] ---**
    I did not lose! I didn't!
**[04:41] ---**
    I did not lose!
**[04:45] ---**
    I don't care about
    the Chunin Exams anymore.
**[04:47] ---**
    Revenge! We're getting revenge!
**[04:51] ---**
    Lady Saya…
**[04:52] ---**
    But how…?
**[04:54] ---**
    I'm going to turn them
    into puppets
**[04:56] ---**
    and make them clean toilets
    for ten years…!
**[05:04] ---**
    As expected, Sister!
**[05:06] ---**
    That's so depraved!
**[05:10] ---**
    Those three from
    the Hidden Leaf…
**[05:12] ---**
    I'm going to get that
    blonde Sensory-type!
**[05:17] ---**
    You know what to do, right, Sana?
**[05:19] ---**
    Of course, Sister.
**[05:38] ---**
    *Choji and Ino have used up their chakra*
    *due to all these battles.*
**[05:41] ---**
    *Their strength and willpower*
    *are at their limits!*
**[05:45] ---**
    *When the enemy attacks again,*
    *it'll be up to me…!*
**[05:51] ---**
    *Back then…*
**[05:54] ---**
    *all I ever did was have*
    *Sasuke and Naruto protect me.*
**[05:59] ---**
    *Now, I should be able*
    *to protect them.*
**[06:03] ---**
    *Like Sasuke…*
    *and Naruto did back then!*
**[06:11] ---**
    All right, today we're going to
    step up our training much more.
**[06:16] ---**
    It will be like an experiment…
**[06:19] ---**
    I don't even know
    what might happen.
**[06:22] ---**
    Are you prepared?
**[06:23] ---**
    Y-Yeah!
**[06:25] ---**
    Let's just do it!
**[06:28] ---**
    Good.
**[06:29] ---**
    Come on out, Gerotora!
**[06:35] ---**
    I have a bad feeling about this…
**[06:37] ---**
    Anytime you summon me,
    it means you…
**[06:40] ---**
    That's right. I want you to loosen
    the Nine-Tails' seal just a little.
**[06:46] ---**
    Well, let me just start off
    by saying, I'm opposed to this.
**[06:49] ---**
    The Nine Tails cannot be
    controlled by mere humans.
**[06:53] ---**
    That's why I've taken
    the time to make sure.
**[07:01] ---**
    With all the training he's put in,
    I know that Naruto can maintain
**[07:04] ---**
    his own psyche up to
    a two-tail transformation.
**[07:07] ---**
    We need to know
    how much farther is possible.
**[07:13] ---**
    Can you handle it, kid?
**[07:15] ---**
    Opening the seal means that
**[07:17] ---**
    the Nine Tails influence
    will grow stronger.
**[07:21] ---**
    Can you say for sure that
**[07:23] ---**
    he won't take you over
    and run amok?
**[07:26] ---**
    Well, I…
**[07:29] ---**
    Well, if worse comes to worst,
**[07:32] ---**
    I, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin,
    will stop him even if it kills me.
**[07:38] ---**
    Pervy Sage…
**[07:40] ---**
    Besides, I have faith that
    Naruto will master this jutsu.
**[07:45] ---**
    As did the Fourth Hokage
    who sealed the Nine Tails in Naruto.
**[07:50] ---**
    Yeah!
**[07:57] ---**
    All right then, let's begin.
**[07:59] ---**
    Right!
**[08:09] ---**
    Here we go!
**[08:16] ---**
    Two tails in an instant…
**[08:18] ---**
    Hey, there's the third tail!
**[08:22] ---**
    Now, Naruto!
**[08:23] ---**
    Suppress your chakra now!
**[08:32] ---**
    Suppress yourself!
**[08:34] ---**
    I got that!
**[08:38] ---**
    *What is this irritating feeling?*
**[08:42] ---**
    *It's bitter and hateful…*
**[08:45] ---**
    *It feels like my insides*
    *are turning black!*
**[08:50] ---**
    I'll cooperate with you.
**[08:56] ---**
    Y-You are…?
**[08:59] ---**
    Don't hold back.
**[09:02] ---**
    You want power, don't you?
**[09:04] ---**
    Cut it out!
**[09:10] ---**
    You know it's pretty pathetic…
**[09:14] ---**
    The guy you're trying
    to bring back left the village...
**[09:20] ---**
    He forgot
    about you long ago…
**[09:22] ---**
    and he's teamed up with
    a better partner.
**[09:26] ---**
    Shut up and go back!
**[09:33] ---**
    Idiot… If anyone goes back…
    it's you!
**[09:51] ---**
    It was a reckless idea, after all.
**[09:53] ---**
    Such a pity.
**[10:00] ---**
    Gerotora, stay back!
**[10:03] ---**
    I'll stop Naruto.
**[10:32] ---**
    Where am I?
**[10:33] ---**
    You're awake...
**[10:36] ---**
    Pervy Sage!
**[10:40] ---**
    What happened?!
**[10:41] ---**
    Isn't it obvious?
**[10:43] ---**
    You went on a rampage,
**[10:44] ---**
    so I held you down and
    this is the result.
**[10:46] ---**
    It's just some broken ribs
    and what not…
**[10:52] ---**
    I did that…?
**[10:54] ---**
    It's not your fault.
    I made the wrong call.
**[10:59] ---**
    I underestimated some things.
**[11:02] ---**
    Pervy Sage… I…
**[11:06] ---**
    Don't apologize.
**[11:07] ---**
    Sometimes, training goes wrong.
    It's normal.
**[11:09] ---**
    But…!
**[11:12] ---**
    He provoked me and I gave in!
**[11:15] ---**
    So?
**[11:16] ---**
    Was Gerotora right?
**[11:19] ---**
    Will you give up because
    it's impossible?
**[11:22] ---**
    I held onto my consciousness
    up to three tails.
**[11:27] ---**
    But I felt this immense power…
**[11:30] ---**
    And I realized that this jutsu
    is absolutely necessary.
**[11:36] ---**
    Even if it's impossible for me now,
**[11:37] ---**
    I'll never give up!
**[11:39] ---**
    I won't betray the faith
**[11:41] ---**
    you and the Fourth Hokage
    put into me, Pervy Sage!
**[11:46] ---**
    I always knew it couldn't be
    dealt with in a straightforward manner...
**[11:50] ---**
    We just have to
    figure out some other way.
**[11:57] ---**
    *I know that Naruto is somewhere*
    *training hard right now…!*
**[12:02] ---**
    *And I…can't waste my time*
    *feeling sorry for myself!*
**[12:17] ---**
    Sand Storm Jutsu!
**[12:22] ---**
    Well, Elder Sister…
    I leave the rest up to you.
**[12:25] ---**
    We're counting on you, Lady Saya.
**[12:27] ---**
    Cursed Sand Puppet Jutsu!
**[12:38] ---**
    Why did a sand storm
    suddenly start up only around us?
**[12:43] ---**
    This is unnatural!
**[12:44] ---**
    We have to consider this
    some kind of attack!
**[12:47] ---**
    It's them…
**[12:49] ---**
    Haven't they learned
    their lesson?
**[12:51] ---**
    They plan to limit our vision,
    then attack!
**[12:53] ---**
    They do have
    the ground advantage.
**[12:56] ---**
    Don't worry!
**[12:58] ---**
    I'll send you whatever
    images I can grab.
**[13:02] ---**
    Ino!
**[13:04] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[13:05] ---**
    You've been in full Sensory Perception
    mode for an awfully long while.
**[13:09] ---**
    I can still handle this…
**[13:13] ---**
    My Cursed Sand Puppet Jutsu…
**[13:16] ---**
    will bring forth many, many more.
**[13:18] ---**
    That blonde Sensory-type
    is near exhaustion
**[13:24] ---**
    from using so much chakra
    to ward off my jutsu…
**[13:28] ---**
    And now, all these Cursed Puppets…
**[13:31] ---**
    Using Sensory Perception on this
    many has to be quite a burden.
**[13:41] ---**
    Mamushi…
**[13:42] ---**
    Roger!
**[13:44] ---**
    Take over, Sana.
**[13:46] ---**
    Yes, Elder Sister.
**[13:50] ---**
    Sand Cloak Jutsu!
**[13:57] ---**
    Ino!
**[13:58] ---**
    Don't push yourself
    so hard anymore!
**[14:00] ---**
    But…
**[14:01] ---**
    If each of us can guard
    our own line of sight,
**[14:03] ---**
    we'll manage somehow!
**[14:06] ---**
    All right.
**[14:07] ---**
    I'll use Mind Transmission Jutsu
    to connect what we each see.
**[14:11] ---**
    That'll take some of
    the burden off of me.
**[14:20] ---**
    It's working!
**[14:21] ---**
    Ino! These guys are pretty weak.
**[14:25] ---**
    Yes… This'll work!
**[14:29] ---**
    Keep on coming at me!
**[14:31] ---**
    I'll kick your butts!
**[14:42] ---**
    Choji!
**[14:46] ---**
    Sakura!
**[14:48] ---**
    Ino!
**[14:56] ---**
    It's fine. The poison will start
    spreading soon…
**[14:59] ---**
    And you won't be able to move!
**[15:03] ---**
    Choji! Ino!
**[15:05] ---**
    This…is nothing.
**[15:07] ---**
    Yeah! I'll pulverize them all
**[15:10] ---**
    before the poison starts spreading
    throughout my body!
**[15:15] ---**
    *I'm still the one being protected…*
**[15:21] ---**
    *I can't let this happen…*
**[15:23] ---**
    *After all, I changed!*
**[15:31] ---**
    *I must hurry with my chakra…*
**[15:33] ---**
    *Like that time…*
**[15:34] ---**
    *We have to treat him quickly*
    *or he'll die!*
**[15:37] ---**
    *We must hurry and get Lady Tsunade…*
**[15:43] ---**
    *Take him to the ICU immediately!*
**[15:45] ---**
    *Right!*
**[15:48] ---**
    *I can't allow you to*
    *do any surgery*
**[15:51] ---**
    *or go out into the battlefront!*
**[15:53] ---**
    *But… If we wait for Lady Tsunade,*
    *the patient will die…*
**[15:58] ---**
    SURGERY IN PROGRESS
    
    *I just have to do it!*
**[15:59] ---**
    *I just have to do it!*
**[16:00] ---**
    This is…?!
**[16:02] ---**
    Sakura's feelings are
    flooding into me
**[16:04] ---**
    through the Mind Transmission Jutsu…?!
**[16:10] ---**
    *There's only me. Just me…*
**[16:13] ---**
    *This is the time for chakra control…*
**[16:17] ---**
    *It's no good.*
    *I don't have enough chakra…*
**[16:22] ---**
    *Sasuke… Naruto…*
**[16:25] ---**
    *I…*
**[16:26] ---**
    *I'm still depending on those two…*
    *even at a time like this.*
**[16:32] ---**
    *No more saying, "I can't."*
**[16:34] ---**
    *Unless I do it, this man will die.*
**[16:37] ---**
    *I need more chakra…*
**[16:39] ---**
    *More…*
**[16:42] ---**
    *I must do it…*
    *With my own strength…*
**[16:45] ---**
    *With my own willpower!*
**[16:51] ---**
    *It's slight, but I feel*
    *my chakra replenishing…*
**[16:54] ---**
    *I can do it!*
**[16:55] ---**
    *I will save this man!*
**[17:07] ---**
    *You're going to take*
    *the Chunin Exams?*
**[17:10] ---**
    *Are you serious?*
**[17:11] ---**
    *Please…*
**[17:13] ---**
    *I already told you I can't authorize it.*
**[17:16] ---**
    *The dam to reserve chakra*
    *from the 100 Healings Jutsu…*
**[17:18] ---**
    *and the dam to store chakra*
    *I normally use…*
**[17:21] ---**
    *I was able to control*
    *both of these dams*
**[17:24] ---**
    *and successfully performed surgery.*
**[17:28] ---**
    *I want to see how far I can go.*
**[17:30] ---**
    *I want to push myself as far as I can*
    *by participating in the Exams.*
**[17:35] ---**
    *I'm still a novice…*
**[17:37] ---**
    *yet Choji and Ino asked me*
    *to join them.*
**[17:42] ---**
    *They asked me to take*
    *the Chunin Exams with them.*
**[17:45] ---**
    *I want to honor their trust in me!*
**[17:48] ---**
    *Please!*
**[17:56] ---**
    AUTHORIZED
**[17:58] ---**
    *Take this with you.*
**[18:04] ---**
    *Thank you very much!*
**[18:05] ---**
    *However…*
**[18:06] ---**
    *Whatever happens at the Chunin Exams*
    *will be your sole responsibility.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Understood?*
**[18:11] ---**
    *Yes!*
**[18:14] ---**
    I see…
**[18:17] ---**
    You were under that
    kind of pressure,
**[18:19] ---**
    yet you came just for us…
**[18:21] ---**
    We didn't know…
**[18:23] ---**
    and we made you come…
**[18:26] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[18:27] ---**
    I didn't do this for you!
**[18:29] ---**
    I did it for me… Me alone.
**[18:33] ---**
    *I've always just looked at*
**[18:35] ---**
    *Naruto and Sasuke's backs*
    *from behind.*
**[18:37] ---**
    *I'm challenging myself this time.*
**[18:42] ---**
    *Ino… Choji…*
**[18:44] ---**
    *Thank you for believing in me.*
**[18:47] ---**
    *Thank you for asking me to join you…*
**[18:53] ---**
    *Thank you so much.*
**[18:58] ---**
    Elder Sister, the fatso and
    the blonde can't move anymore.
**[19:02] ---**
    Big forehead will soon…
**[19:04] ---**
    Big forehead's chakra
    has suddenly spiked!
**[19:13] ---**
    *I have enough chakra now!*
**[19:15] ---**
    I will protect Choji and Ino,
    no matter what!
**[19:19] ---**
    I'll end this…
**[19:20] ---**
    in one sweep!
**[19:24] ---**
    Cha!
**[19:31] ---**
    I didn't lose! I didn't!
**[19:33] ---**
    I did not lose!
**[19:35] ---**
    Elder Sister!
**[19:36] ---**
    We lost… We totally lost!
**[19:38] ---**
    Mamushi! You will clean toilets
    for a hundred years!
**[19:47] ---**
    How do you feel?
**[19:49] ---**
    I extracted the poison,
**[19:50] ---**
    so the numbness
    should wear off soon.
**[19:53] ---**
    Th-Thanks.
**[19:54] ---**
    No, I owe you two an apology…
**[19:58] ---**
    You saw it through
    the Mind Transmission, didn't you?
**[20:01] ---**
    I put you in danger because
    of my own motives…
**[20:05] ---**
    You sure did.
**[20:10] ---**
    Kidding…
**[20:13] ---**
    I'm glad we asked you to join us!
**[20:16] ---**
    Ino…
**[20:17] ---**
    Yeah, I'm glad
    we asked you to join!
**[20:19] ---**
    I feel like the three of us
    can beat anyone.
**[20:28] ---**
    You guys...
**[20:31] ---**
    Thank you!
**[20:37] ---**
    What? Hey, you two!
**[20:40] ---**
    Okay, let's head for
    the central tower.
**[20:43] ---**
    We're almost at the finish line
    of the Second Exam!
**[20:55] ---**
    Choji, Ino…
    Seriously, thank you.
**[22:36] ---**
    Did you just say
    a massive sandstorm's appeared?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    It's obstructing
    our long-range sensors?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Who would do this, and why?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Besides that,
    we have to come up
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    with safety measures
    for the exam participants first.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    We'll lead all the participants
    into shelters.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I leave the Kazekage to you,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    because it seems like he's going to
    take matters into his own hands...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Hidden Plot Set Into Motion"
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Make sure he does not
    set foot outside.

    THE PATH TRAVELED

    *The Hidden Plot Set Into Motion*
    
    
    
**[01:50] ---**
    My optic nerve is connected.
**[01:58] ---**
    Foo!
**[01:59] ---**
    Wait!
**[02:00] ---**
    Where do you think you're going?!
**[02:01] ---**
    We have both scrolls!
**[02:03] ---**
    So let's head straight
    for the central tower!
**[02:05] ---**
    I don't want to!
**[02:06] ---**
    I still haven't made any friends!
**[02:09] ---**
    I just want to have
    a little more fun first!
**[02:12] ---**
    Have you already forgotten?!
**[02:14] ---**
    We're taking the Chunin Exams to make
    a name for the Hidden Waterfall!
**[02:17] ---**
    We may not beat
    the 97-minute record
**[02:18] ---**
    set by the Kazekage
    when he was a genin,
**[02:21] ---**
    but we can still shoot
    for first place!
**[02:23] ---**
    Yahoo!
**[02:26] ---**
    – She's not listening!
    – She's not listening!
**[02:28] ---**
    Calm down.
**[02:29] ---**
    Yeah…
**[02:33] ---**
    Foo, the village chief would
    be disappointed if he saw you now!
**[02:36] ---**
    Shibuki...?!
**[02:39] ---**
    Yes, bringing glory
    to the Hidden Waterfall
**[02:42] ---**
    is Lord Shibuki's greatest wish!
**[02:48] ---**
    *Shibuki…*
**[02:53] ---**
    Think of how he would feel!
**[02:56] ---**
    Okay, okay!
**[02:59] ---**
    I guess I have no choice.
**[03:02] ---**
    *The lord's wish always*
    *comes first with Foo.*
**[03:05] ---**
    *I don't know why,*
**[03:06] ---**
    *but she calmly obeys whenever*
    *his name is mentioned.*
**[03:09] ---**
    Foo! Not again!
**[03:11] ---**
    Where are you going?!
**[03:11] ---**
    To the central tower, where else?!
**[03:14] ---**
    – You're going the wrong way!
    – You're going the wrong way!
**[03:27] ---**
    *With the Sand Eye,*
    *there's no danger to him physically.*
**[03:30] ---**
    *But as long as Gaara*
    *doesn't change his mind…*
**[03:34] ---**
    *We can't let down our guard.*
**[03:38] ---**
    Gaara…
**[03:41] ---**
    Shall we break for dinner?
**[03:42] ---**
    I agree. It's getting late.
**[03:46] ---**
    No, I'm okay right now.
**[03:48] ---**
    All right.
**[03:50] ---**
    He snubbed us.
**[03:51] ---**
    Sure did.
**[04:05] ---**
    Where are we headed?!
**[04:06] ---**
    We're heading to the central tower.
**[04:08] ---**
    Wait, we don't have two scrolls!
**[04:11] ---**
    Use your head!
**[04:12] ---**
    The earth here is to our advantage!
**[04:14] ---**
    Actually, we don't have
    the "Earth" scroll,
**[04:16] ---**
    just the "Heaven" one.
**[04:20] ---**
    That's not what I meant.
**[04:23] ---**
    Any team with both "Heaven" and
    "Earth" scrolls will be targeted.
**[04:28] ---**
    So they'll head straight
**[04:30] ---**
    for the central tower
    as quickly as possible.
**[04:32] ---**
    But, traps are laid throughout
    the surrounding area.
**[04:37] ---**
    Except this eastern route.
**[04:39] ---**
    The eastern route is clear?
**[04:42] ---**
    Then everyone will
    be using that route!
**[04:45] ---**
    Except…this place has naturally
    occurring hidden quicksand pits.
**[04:50] ---**
    Once you fall in, you can't get out.
**[04:53] ---**
    So we'll get there first, wait patiently,
    and then steal a scroll.
**[04:56] ---**
    How's that plan?
**[04:57] ---**
    You're so smart.
**[04:59] ---**
    It sounds a bit cowardly though.
**[05:02] ---**
    Do you want to pass
    the Second Exam or not?
**[05:04] ---**
    Don't be a hypocrite.
**[05:06] ---**
    You're right. Let's do it.
**[05:45] ---**
    So you're Houichi.
**[05:49] ---**
    You look quite young.
**[05:51] ---**
    Yes, I am young.
**[05:55] ---**
    But I've studied
    the Priest Bunpuku's power
**[05:58] ---**
    to mold currents since I was a child.
**[06:01] ---**
    Bunpuku, you say?
**[06:04] ---**
    Yes.
**[06:05] ---**
    Gaara has become the Kazekage,
**[06:08] ---**
    but he still poses
    a threat to this village.
**[06:11] ---**
    As long as he remains,
**[06:13] ---**
    measures are necessary
    to control this fear.
**[06:17] ---**
    The Chunin Exams present
    the ideal opportunity
**[06:20] ---**
    to extract Shukaku the One Tail.
**[06:22] ---**
    Ultimately, this means
    that *he* must die.
**[06:27] ---**
    Yes.
**[06:29] ---**
    *First, we must make sure*
    *the Kazekage is alone,*
**[06:32] ---**
    *and lure him to the tower.*
**[06:35] ---**
    *I'll now release the barrier*
**[06:38] ---**
    *that obstructed long-range*
    *sensory perception.*
**[06:41] ---**
    *This place is called Demon Desert*
    *because it's difficult to survive*
**[06:44] ---**
    *its massive sandstorms*
    *once you get stuck in one.*
**[06:49] ---**
    *That's why*
    *the Sand Investigative Unit*
**[06:51] ---**
    *uses long-range sensory perception*
    *and stays on guard.*
**[07:04] ---**
    What?!
**[07:05] ---**
    What is that?
**[07:07] ---**
    Hey, this is bad!
**[07:10] ---**
    *However, if long-range sensory*
    *perception wasn't functioning,*
**[07:14] ---**
    *what would happen?*
**[07:22] ---**
    By now, chaos must be
    breaking out at headquarters…
**[07:33] ---**
    A massive sandstorm is forming!
**[07:37] ---**
    Why wasn't it
    detected until now?!
**[07:39] ---**
    I didn't sense anything unusual!
**[07:42] ---**
    He's right. I didn't detect
    anything either.
**[07:44] ---**
    Could someone be interfering
    with our long-range sensory...?
**[07:47] ---**
    Like blocking your perception
    with a barrier?!
**[07:51] ---**
    Who would do this, and why?
**[07:54] ---**
    More important, we have to come up
    with safety measures
**[07:56] ---**
    for the exam participants first!
**[07:57] ---**
    Isn't survival part of this exam?
**[08:01] ---**
    This sandstorm is way too big!
**[08:03] ---**
    There will be hell to pay
    if they all die.
**[08:06] ---**
    Damn it!
**[08:07] ---**
    What a hopeless bunch.
**[08:10] ---**
    The Second Exam will
    be postponed temporarily…
**[08:12] ---**
    and we'll lead all
    the exam participants into shelters.
**[08:15] ---**
    I leave the Kazekage to you two,
**[08:17] ---**
    because it seems like he's going
    to take matters into his own hands...
**[08:21] ---**
    Make sure he does not
    set foot outside.
**[08:23] ---**
    – Yes sir!
    – Yes sir!
**[08:27] ---**
    Are you ready?
**[08:29] ---**
    – Yes, ma'am!
    – Yes, ma'am!
**[08:29] ---**
    Teams One to Three,
    come with me.
**[08:31] ---**
    The rest, with me!
**[08:37] ---**
    Let's go!
**[08:58] ---**
    I can't believe we didn't detect
    a sandstorm of this magnitude.
**[09:02] ---**
    Who could have interfered?
**[09:05] ---**
    I just hope
    nothing bad happens…
**[09:07] ---**
    Yeah. I agree.
**[09:14] ---**
    What is this—?!
**[09:16] ---**
    It is a sandstorm!
**[09:18] ---**
    I know that!
**[09:21] ---**
    So this what a giant sandstorm
    of the Demon Desert is like.
**[09:24] ---**
    It's way bigger than I imagined.
**[09:26] ---**
    We can't stay here, that's for sure.
**[09:31] ---**
    This is bad…
**[09:33] ---**
    That's why I insisted on
    going straight to the central tower!
**[09:40] ---**
    Watch out!
**[09:44] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[09:47] ---**
    Uh, nothing.
**[09:50] ---**
    A sandstorm huh…?
**[09:51] ---**
    This gives us
    the home-court advantage.
**[09:53] ---**
    I really wouldn't say that now...
**[09:56] ---**
    This is bad.
**[09:59] ---**
    We haven't seen a storm
    this massive in quite a while.
**[10:01] ---**
    Yeah, I hope the exam participants
    are all right.
**[10:04] ---**
    Yeah...
**[10:06] ---**
    Hey, where is Lord Kazekage?
**[10:13] ---**
    He's fine. He's staying put.
**[10:17] ---**
    That's good.
**[10:18] ---**
    Yeah…
**[10:50] ---**
    I can't even see an inch
    in front of me!
**[10:52] ---**
    It's just a little sand!
**[10:54] ---**
    The central tower is
    right up ahead.
**[10:56] ---**
    Let's overcome this
    with gutsiness!
**[10:59] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[11:02] ---**
    This is going to take a lot more
    than gutsiness to overcome...
**[11:06] ---**
    Let's look for a spot nearby
    to wait out the storm.
**[11:17] ---**
    I can't open my eyes!
**[11:20] ---**
    The sand stings!
**[11:24] ---**
    I-I can't breathe…
**[11:29] ---**
    I can't…hang on…
**[11:41] ---**
    Use this.
**[11:42] ---**
    It's a sand mask!
**[11:45] ---**
    The Second Exam is
    temporarily postponed!
**[11:48] ---**
    We'll take you to the shelter.
**[11:51] ---**
    Don't give in to
    a sandstorm like this!
**[11:57] ---**
    Wind Scythe!
**[12:00] ---**
    All right, now's your chance
    to move forward!
**[12:06] ---**
    Come on, hurry!
**[12:14] ---**
    Are you okay, Lee?!
**[12:17] ---**
    My Hidden Leaf cloak isn't much help
    against a sandstorm this bad.
**[12:24] ---**
    All right, then…
**[12:26] ---**
    Eight Trigrams Palm, Rotation!
**[12:30] ---**
    Now, Tenten!
**[12:31] ---**
    Leave it to me!
**[12:33] ---**
    I think I have something that
    will help us block the sandstorm!
**[12:41] ---**
    ENDURANCE
    
**[12:44] ---**
    Let's go inside and
    sit out this storm.
**[12:47] ---**
    – Okay!
    – Yes!
**[12:50] ---**
    I'm amazed you had
    something like this handy.
**[12:53] ---**
    Situations like these are
    the only times I'm useful.
**[12:58] ---**
    I see!
**[12:59] ---**
    As expected.
**[13:00] ---**
    At least one of you refute me!
**[13:37] ---**
    I can't walk any further…
**[13:40] ---**
    Hang in there!
    We're almost at the central tower!
**[13:43] ---**
    Are you sure about that?
**[13:45] ---**
    You've been saying that,
    but we haven't reached it yet…
**[13:48] ---**
    I'm sure!
**[13:52] ---**
    Look! The hidden quicksand!
**[13:53] ---**
    See, I was right!
**[13:56] ---**
    This is not time to be saying that!
**[14:00] ---**
    Mikoshi!
**[14:06] ---**
    Hang on!
**[14:07] ---**
    We're going to pull
    Mikoshi out of there.
**[14:09] ---**
    Okay!
**[14:23] ---**
    I-I'm sinking!
**[14:40] ---**
    Pretty soon now…
**[14:54] ---**
    Almost there!
**[14:58] ---**
    Now! Grab my hand!
**[15:15] ---**
    I can't stand this!
**[15:17] ---**
    We'd better make it to
    the central tower fast
**[15:19] ---**
    or we'll be swallowed up.
**[15:50] ---**
    *Shibuki!*
**[15:53] ---**
    *It's okay!*
    *I will always protect you.*
**[16:05] ---**
    *Why?*
**[16:08] ---**
    *Why did you protect me?*
**[16:12] ---**
    *Because you're precious to me.*
    *Why else?*
**[16:16] ---**
    *That's why you have to protect*
    *those who are dear to you too.*
**[16:19] ---**
    *If people bond with each other,*
    *there wouldn't be wars in this world.*
**[16:24] ---**
    *So first, make a hundred friends.*
**[16:29] ---**
    What is it, Foo?
**[16:33] ---**
    The central tower is that way!
**[16:40] ---**
    Hey, are you listening?
**[16:45] ---**
    Lord Shibuki will—!
**[16:47] ---**
    For Lord Shibuki's sake—!
**[16:49] ---**
    I'm sure Shibuki will be pleased
    with what I'm going to do now!
**[17:18] ---**
    All right! Stay still!
**[17:27] ---**
    Come on!
**[17:52] ---**
    I am Gaara, the Kazekage of
    the Village Hidden in the Sand.
**[17:56] ---**
    I'm Foo from
    the Hidden Waterfall Village.
**[18:00] ---**
    Why did you save them?
**[18:02] ---**
    You're taking the Chunin Exams too,
    aren't you?
**[18:06] ---**
    Oh... Our village chief, Shibuki,
    taught me.
**[18:14] ---**
    *Shibuki?*
**[18:16] ---**
    *Many people might*
    *misunderstand you.*
**[18:21] ---**
    *But you must hold*
    *the people around you dear…*
**[18:26] ---**
    *And do your best*
    *for these people.*
**[18:29] ---**
    *If you do, then someday…*
**[18:30] ---**
    *I'll have a hundred friends, right?*
**[18:33] ---**
    *Y-Yes…*
**[18:36] ---**
    He taught me that one day
    I'm sure to have 100 friends.
**[18:41] ---**
    I see, that's why…
**[18:45] ---**
    As I watched you,
    I remembered a certain man…
**[18:49] ---**
    And now, I know why.
**[18:52] ---**
    Who is this man?
**[18:56] ---**
    He's a lot like you.
**[18:58] ---**
    I faced him in battle…
**[19:00] ---**
    And he taught me
    that we can learn
**[19:02] ---**
    to understand the pain and sorrow,
    and the joy of others.
**[19:09] ---**
    Wow… I'd like to meet someone
    like that and become his friend.
**[19:23] ---**
    Hey, what scroll do you guys have?
**[19:26] ---**
    The "Heaven" scroll…
**[19:31] ---**
    Take it!
**[19:32] ---**
    Really?!
**[19:34] ---**
    You're a lifesaver!
**[19:36] ---**
    We can't.
**[19:38] ---**
    We can't accept it.
**[19:40] ---**
    Why not?
**[19:42] ---**
    I have a new goal,
    so I don't need it!
**[19:46] ---**
    We were taught by Lord Gaara…
**[19:51] ---**
    To break down the barriers
    that we create,
**[19:54] ---**
    to overcome and win,
    and grasp the results that we desire.
**[20:03] ---**
    We want that scroll
    more than anything,
**[20:07] ---**
    but if we allow you
    to give it to us…
**[20:08] ---**
    we can't claim that we fulfilled
    the conditions of the Second Exam.
**[20:11] ---**
    We will obtain it through
    our own power.
**[20:15] ---**
    I understand!
**[20:18] ---**
    – Foo!
    – Foo!
**[20:20] ---**
    It'll be a pain if they catch me…
**[20:22] ---**
    So, I'll be going now!
**[20:27] ---**
    Good bye!
**[20:29] ---**
    – Thank you!
    – Thank you!
**[20:33] ---**
    *She's interesting…*
**[20:36] ---**
    *I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere.*
**[20:55] ---**
    Lord Gaara…
**[20:57] ---**
    Prepare to die.
**[22:38] ---**
    Lord Gaara, What's going on?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Their target is me.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    There's no need for you
    to get involved.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    It's our duty as Sand shinobi to fight
    when our Kazekage is threatened.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Go! I order you as the Kazekage
    to withdraw immediately!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Targeted Tailed Beast*
    
    
**[01:41] ---**
    So this is the legendary sandstorm
    of the Land of Wind!
**[01:45] ---**
    I'd heard rumors,
    but this is mind-blowing!
**[01:48] ---**
    Postponing the Second Exam
    was wise.
**[01:50] ---**
    Yes, one careless move
    and you're dead.
**[01:58] ---**
    Are you from the Hidden Leaf?
**[02:01] ---**
    We have a letter from Lady Hokage
    to Lord Kazekage.
**[02:05] ---**
    It's very urgent.
**[02:07] ---**
    We'll deliver it to him.
**[02:09] ---**
    Our instructions are
    to deliver it to him in person.
**[02:13] ---**
    Will you please let us through?
**[02:15] ---**
    No.
**[02:16] ---**
    The Second Exam is under
    the Sand's jurisdiction.
**[02:19] ---**
    That's unfortunate.
**[02:21] ---**
    Well, since they won't let us through,
    should we return to the Leaf Village?
**[02:25] ---**
    Yeah, I guess we should.
**[02:28] ---**
    *That's really bad acting, you two.*
**[02:34] ---**
    Well, so long!
**[02:36] ---**
    What?!
**[02:38] ---**
    Don't let them get away!
**[02:55] ---**
    I can't take it anymore!
**[02:57] ---**
    Hang in there!
**[02:58] ---**
    Do you want to rot in the desert?!
**[03:01] ---**
    But…
**[03:14] ---**
    Don't get flustered!
**[03:21] ---**
    I'm Kankuro,
    a Hidden Sand proctor.
**[03:24] ---**
    I'm going to get you out of here.
**[03:27] ---**
    You came personally
    to rescue us, Sir Kankuro?!
**[03:31] ---**
    Follow me!
**[03:32] ---**
    I'll take to you the shelter.
**[03:35] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[03:47] ---**
    I can't walk…any further.
**[03:55] ---**
    Listen to me!
**[03:56] ---**
    Think of this as part of
    the Second Exam and get through it!
**[03:59] ---**
    Lady Proctor!
**[04:01] ---**
    If you end up whining
    over a mere sandstorm,
**[04:05] ---**
    you'll never make it
    as a Sand chunin!
**[04:15] ---**
    Talk about exceeding
    one's expectations…
**[04:18] ---**
    I've never seen
    a sandstorm this massive.
**[04:21] ---**
    I can barely breathe…
**[04:24] ---**
    Leave it to me! I'll stop it.
**[04:27] ---**
    Third Gate, Gate of Life…Open!
**[04:34] ---**
    All right, follow me!
**[04:36] ---**
    Okay, let's go.
**[04:38] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:52] ---**
    Hey, stop moving around!
**[04:54] ---**
    Sorry! But staying still is so stifling…
**[04:59] ---**
    Instead of getting buried
    by the sand like this,
**[05:01] ---**
    maybe we should make
    a run for it…
**[05:03] ---**
    Wait…
**[05:06] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[05:17] ---**
    I broke through!
**[05:21] ---**
    The sandstorm should subside
    in about an hour.
**[05:24] ---**
    That's when we'll move.
**[05:28] ---**
    I understand.
**[05:29] ---**
    We just have to endure
    a little bit more.
**[05:48] ---**
    I have a report on the situation
    for Lord Kazekage.
**[05:51] ---**
    You may enter.
**[05:56] ---**
    Excuse me, my lord.
**[06:04] ---**
    We've received status reports
    on the sandstorm from the teams.
**[06:08] ---**
    Nearly all exam participants have
    been evacuated to the shelter.
**[06:17] ---**
    Lord Kazekage?
**[06:19] ---**
    What is this?!
**[06:21] ---**
    What's wrong?!
**[06:26] ---**
    Are you men blind?!
**[06:35] ---**
    A-A Sand Clone!
**[06:38] ---**
    Where is Lord Kazekage?!
**[06:56] ---**
    Thank you very much!
**[06:58] ---**
    If you thank anyone,
**[07:00] ---**
    it should be Foo of
    the Hidden Waterfall…
**[07:01] ---**
    – Y-Yes!
    – Y-Yes!
**[07:03] ---**
    Now go!
**[07:04] ---**
    The Second Exam will
    probably resume shortly.
**[07:06] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[07:26] ---**
    What?!
**[07:29] ---**
    An enemy?!
**[07:31] ---**
    Where's it coming from…?
**[07:33] ---**
    We chose the wrong route.
**[07:36] ---**
    We can't see what's happening
    on higher ground from here.
**[07:40] ---**
    That sound gives me the creeps.
**[07:44] ---**
    We should high tail it out of here.
**[07:47] ---**
    Yeah, but let's proceed
    with caution.
**[07:59] ---**
    Power of Dharma: Silhouette.
**[08:04] ---**
    The tempo's changed.
    Let's hurry.
**[08:07] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:14] ---**
    What is this?
**[08:16] ---**
    Huh?! The shadows…!
**[08:19] ---**
    What are these things?
**[08:41] ---**
    Sand Clone!
**[09:01] ---**
    Lord Gaara, what's going on?!
**[09:03] ---**
    Their target is me.
**[09:06] ---**
    There's no need for you
    to get involved.
**[09:09] ---**
    It's our duty as Sand Shinobi to fight
    when our Kazekage is threatened!
**[09:14] ---**
    Return to the Second Exam.
**[09:17] ---**
    That is your duty as Sand Shinobi!
**[09:27] ---**
    Dharma Sealing Jutsu:
**[09:30] ---**
    Sen no Rikyu!
**[09:44] ---**
    Get down!
**[10:05] ---**
    *I'm losing…my power…*
**[10:16] ---**
    The chain!
**[10:18] ---**
    Let's pull out the chain!
**[10:20] ---**
    – R-Right!
    – R-Right!
**[10:25] ---**
    Go! I can do this alone…
**[10:28] ---**
    But…
**[10:28] ---**
    I order you as the Kazekage
    to withdraw immediately!
**[10:34] ---**
    And not a word of this
    to anyone, understood?
**[10:48] ---**
    W-What'll we do?
**[10:51] ---**
    How should I know?!
**[10:53] ---**
    Let's go to the central tower
    and get help!
**[10:57] ---**
    But…Lord Kazekage swore us
    to secrecy!
**[11:00] ---**
    You fool! His life is in danger!
**[11:07] ---**
    *Resistance is useless.*
**[11:09] ---**
    *This is the sealing jutsu passed on*
    *to me by Priest Bunpuku!*
**[11:13] ---**
    *Now, I can extract Shukaku*
    *from Gaara.*
**[11:41] ---**
    Yukata! Are you all right?
**[11:44] ---**
    I-I…can't move anymore.
**[11:47] ---**
    Matsuri! Yukata can't go on!
**[11:50] ---**
    What do we do?
**[11:51] ---**
    Mikoshi, take care of Yukata!
**[11:54] ---**
    I'm going to inform headquarters
    about Lord Gaara!
**[11:58] ---**
    But, by yourself?!
**[11:59] ---**
    Watch Yukata! I'm going!
**[12:02] ---**
    Matsuri…
**[12:14] ---**
    I wonder if I'm going to make
    a hundred friends...?
**[12:23] ---**
    She is so impulsive!
**[12:26] ---**
    She's abandoning the Chunin Exams?
    What is she up to?!
**[13:04] ---**
    Foo…
**[13:05] ---**
    We finally caught up…
**[13:09] ---**
    Where are you going, Foo?!
**[13:11] ---**
    Are you going back
    for the Second Exam?
**[13:15] ---**
    I just can't figure her out!
**[13:19] ---**
    – Hey!
    – Wait!
**[13:21] ---**
    The friend I just made
    is in trouble!
**[13:25] ---**
    Friend?
**[13:27] ---**
    Don't tell me
    you're going to help?!
**[13:29] ---**
    Of course!
**[13:34] ---**
    Come back, Foo!
**[13:36] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:37] ---**
    Never mind
    the Second Exam already!
**[13:39] ---**
    We just have to
    get her back safely!
**[13:45] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[13:56] ---**
    Hey! Let us pass!
**[13:58] ---**
    We have a letter for Lord Kazekage
    from Lady Hokage!
**[14:01] ---**
    We'll take it!
**[14:02] ---**
    That won't do!
**[14:04] ---**
    We must deliver it
    directly to Lord Kazekage.
**[14:07] ---**
    I explained that's not possible!
**[14:09] ---**
    He's not here!
**[14:12] ---**
    Not here either!
**[14:15] ---**
    Something's up.
**[14:17] ---**
    Yeah… The Kazekage isn't here.
**[14:20] ---**
    What in the world?!
    The Kazekage....?
**[14:41] ---**
    This chain…
**[14:44] ---**
    is extracting my chakra…
**[15:20] ---**
    *That's...!*
**[15:21] ---**
    *There's no mistake.*
    *That's Tailed Beast chakra!*
**[15:24] ---**
    *If left alone, his Tailed Beast*
    *will be extracted…and he'll die!*
**[15:29] ---**
    *Foo!*
**[15:31] ---**
    Stay away!
    This has nothing to do with you.
**[15:34] ---**
    It does have something
    to do with me!
**[15:38] ---**
    You know about me…don't you?
**[15:41] ---**
    Yes. You're a Jinchuriki too.
**[15:44] ---**
    That's why I can
    feel your pain too.
**[15:47] ---**
    And you taught me that friends
    understand each other's pain.
**[15:52] ---**
    Stop it…!
**[16:03] ---**
    It's sucking out my power…
**[16:09] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[16:11] ---**
    *So there's another one…*
**[16:13] ---**
    *How interesting…*
**[16:15] ---**
    *Not even Lord Bunpuku ever*
    *sealed two Tailed Beasts at once.*
**[16:20] ---**
    *This is the perfect opportunity to test*
    *the power of the Dharma Seal.*
**[16:33] ---**
    Foo! Be careful!
**[16:59] ---**
    Foo!
**[17:00] ---**
    I-I'm sorry…
**[17:02] ---**
    I think I failed…
**[17:06] ---**
    Dharma Sealing Jutsu:
    Sen no Rikyu!
**[17:29] ---**
    If the sandstorm continued
    any longer,
**[17:32] ---**
    this would have
    become our grave.
**[17:35] ---**
    You never know
    what will happen next.
**[17:37] ---**
    That's the Demon Desert!
**[17:38] ---**
    Let's get this Second Exam
    over with.
**[17:41] ---**
    Right! The central tower
    isn't far from here.
**[17:45] ---**
    All right! Let's go!
**[17:49] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[17:51] ---**
    Did you forget something?
**[17:53] ---**
    Yeah…
**[17:54] ---**
    There's something we need to do
    before we head for the central tower.
**[17:58] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:59] ---**
    There's someone I want
    to settle things with too.
**[18:02] ---**
    Do you have someone
    like that too?
**[18:04] ---**
    No, it's nothing like that.
**[18:11] ---**
    Is there something
    the matter with them?
**[18:13] ---**
    We have two scrolls.
**[18:17] ---**
    Actually…
**[18:25] ---**
    – What?!
    – What?!
**[18:27] ---**
    They're both "Heaven" scrolls.
**[18:29] ---**
    How could you?!
**[18:31] ---**
    Why did you keep something
    so important a secret?!
**[18:34] ---**
    I didn't intend to
    keep it a secret.
**[18:37] ---**
    It's just that things happened and
    I didn't have a chance to tell you.
**[18:41] ---**
    That's a really bad excuse…
**[18:45] ---**
    Well, we'll just have to recoup
    and obtain an "Earth" scroll somehow.
**[18:57] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[19:13] ---**
    Over that way!
**[19:14] ---**
    Please wait!
**[19:16] ---**
    Oh, come on!
**[19:28] ---**
    H-Hey! You're going to take
    a scroll from someone
**[19:30] ---**
    who's ready to drop
    from exhaustion?!
**[19:34] ---**
    We can't do something
    so cowardly!
**[19:37] ---**
    Don't jump to conclusions!
**[19:38] ---**
    We can't ignore someone
    in distress.
**[19:41] ---**
    That's right!
**[19:42] ---**
    Neji would never stoop
    to such a dirty trick.
**[19:46] ---**
    Of course not! The thought
    never crossed my mind…
**[19:54] ---**
    Did something happen?
**[19:57] ---**
    It's Lord Kazekage!
**[19:59] ---**
    Someone is attacking Lord Gaara!
**[20:03] ---**
    Gaara?!
**[20:57] ---**
    *Just a little longer.*
**[22:37] ---**
    No one will come to help us.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Negative thoughts aren't good!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    No matter how long
    we wait,
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    reinforcements from
    the Sand won't come!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Again with those
    negative thoughts!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Would you still say that
    if you knew
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    that the one attacking us
    is from the Sand?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Are you serious?!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Neji's Judgment"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    But I'm sure someone
    will come to save us!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    IN NARUTO'S FOOTSTEPS ~
    THE PATH TRAVELED
    NEJI'S JUDGMENT
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**

**[01:30] ---**
    *Neji's Judgment*
    
    
    
**[01:36] ---**
    I'll give this to you,
    so please, help me!
**[01:41] ---**
    Don't worry about that!
**[01:42] ---**
    Can you just show us the way?
**[01:46] ---**
    Yes!
**[01:58] ---**
    Over there.
**[01:59] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[02:13] ---**
    Found them!
**[02:23] ---**
    What are you planning to do?!
**[02:25] ---**
    We can't ignore them.
**[02:26] ---**
    But that could mean defaulting
    on the Chunin Exams.
**[02:30] ---**
    I-I'm sorry.
**[02:32] ---**
    It's not your fault.
    It's my decision to take action.
**[02:36] ---**
    R-Right.
**[02:38] ---**
    You're right, Tenten.
**[02:40] ---**
    This could mean a default
    on the Chunin Exams.
**[02:44] ---**
    But in a situation like this,
    he wouldn't…
**[02:50] ---**
    Naruto wouldn't hesitate
    for a moment to act.
**[02:52] ---**
    Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't.
**[02:54] ---**
    You're right!
**[02:55] ---**
    Naruto would scold us if
    we ignored someone in need
**[02:59] ---**
    in order to pass
    the Second Exam.
**[03:02] ---**
    Naruto and Gaara both
    challenged their destinies
**[03:05] ---**
    and overcame hardship.
**[03:07] ---**
    They wouldn't turn their backs and
    say it's someone else's problem.
**[03:22] ---**
    Damn it… I told you not to come.
**[03:26] ---**
    How can I stay away?!
**[03:28] ---**
    If your friend was here,
    I'm sure he'd come to save you.
**[03:33] ---**
    Friend?!
**[03:38] ---**
    Yeah, that's because he's a fool…
**[04:34] ---**
    *Ninja Art: Cocoon…*
**[04:56] ---**
    *What is that?*
**[05:06] ---**
    This is…?
**[05:07] ---**
    My power. But it isn't enough
    to break this chakra chain.
**[05:16] ---**
    So, I'm going to try
    to buy us some time.
**[05:33] ---**
    *This is…!*
**[05:34] ---**
    *The flow in the chakra chain*
    *is becoming sluggish…*
**[05:38] ---**
    *That cocoon has the power to suppress*
    *the absorption of chakra?*
**[05:51] ---**
    What did you do?
**[05:52] ---**
    I made a cocoon with
    my Chakra Threads.
**[05:55] ---**
    My cocoon is
    a complicated tangle of
**[05:58] ---**
    super-fine Chakra Threads.
**[06:00] ---**
    And it weakened its absorption,
    just as I thought.
**[06:04] ---**
    It didn't stop it.
**[06:06] ---**
    The rate of chakra being sucked out
    has definitely slowed down,
**[06:09] ---**
    and lessened the pain…
**[06:10] ---**
    But eventually, our Tailed Beasts
    will be extracted…
**[06:14] ---**
    and we'll die.
**[06:16] ---**
    Negative thoughts aren't good.
**[06:18] ---**
    I'm sure someone will come
    to save us!
**[06:21] ---**
    How can you be so positive?
**[06:25] ---**
    Someone once praised me
    that I was born special.
**[06:30] ---**
    No one will come to help us.
**[06:32] ---**
    Don't say such things!
**[06:34] ---**
    Hey! Is someone out there?!
**[06:39] ---**
    Your voice won't travel
    through this cocoon.
**[06:41] ---**
    Oops! Darn it.
**[06:45] ---**
    All right then…
**[06:47] ---**
    I'll just pull this out
    with brute strength.
**[06:55] ---**
    We'll have to wait
    to be rescued, after all.
**[06:59] ---**
    No matter how long we wait,
**[07:01] ---**
    no one from the Sand
    will come to our aid.
**[07:03] ---**
    Again with those negative thoughts!
**[07:06] ---**
    Would you still say that
    if you knew
**[07:08] ---**
    the person attacking us
    is from the Sand?
**[07:11] ---**
    Are you serious?!
**[07:21] ---**
    *How futile.*
**[07:23] ---**
    *All you did was throw away*
    *any way of escape.*
**[07:27] ---**
    *Just how long do you think*
    *you'll last in there?*
**[07:36] ---**
    In the past, the only way
    I could relate to others
**[07:40] ---**
    was with hate and a desire to kill.
**[07:46] ---**
    Now that I am the Kazekage,
**[07:49] ---**
    some believe that
    I will rule through fear,
**[07:52] ---**
    and are trying to eliminate me.
**[07:54] ---**
    That can't be helped.
**[07:57] ---**
    I'm the one who brought it on.
**[08:03] ---**
    If I have any regrets,
    it's only that I wish people knew
**[08:08] ---**
    how much I was trying
    to change.
**[08:11] ---**
    That friend of yours
    taught you, right?
**[08:13] ---**
    That you can share and
    understand the pain,
**[08:15] ---**
    suffering and happiness of others!
**[08:26] ---**
    Yes, that's right.
**[08:28] ---**
    But it's difficult for a Jinchuriki.
**[08:32] ---**
    That's not true!
    I'm sure it'll all work out.
**[08:36] ---**
    Even a Jinchuriki can make
    a hundred friends.
**[08:40] ---**
    I just know it!
    The Village Chief told me so.
**[08:43] ---**
    *They're alike, after all.*
**[08:47] ---**
    Judging by the panic within
    the Hidden Sand,
**[08:49] ---**
    we can assume they don't have
    Gaara under their protection.
**[08:54] ---**
    Yes. This is just as we feared.
**[08:57] ---**
    He set himself up
    as bait to lure out
**[08:59] ---**
    the faction planning
    the coup d'état.
**[09:01] ---**
    In the worst case, it's possible
    he's already been assassinated.
**[09:06] ---**
    The Leaf has close ties to him.
**[09:09] ---**
    If something like that happens,
**[09:11] ---**
    it would greatly affect
    our future relationship.
**[09:13] ---**
    We can't allow him
    to be assassinated.
**[09:16] ---**
    As long as we don't know
    who the coup d'état faction is,
**[09:19] ---**
    we can't go to the Sand
    to request assistance.
**[09:23] ---**
    We'll just have
    to do something ourselves.
**[09:25] ---**
    That being said,
    we don't know where he went.
**[09:28] ---**
    We have no clues at all.
**[09:33] ---**
    What's that?
**[09:39] ---**
    Ah, they're genin
    of the Hidden Sand!
**[09:48] ---**
    The sound of a lute?!
**[10:13] ---**
    What is that?!
**[10:14] ---**
    It looks like a giant cocoon!
**[10:17] ---**
    And who is that man?
**[10:23] ---**
    You're exam participants
    from the Hidden Waterfall!
**[10:27] ---**
    Yes…
**[10:27] ---**
    We're looking for Foo.
    She wandered off.
**[10:30] ---**
    Foo wandered off?
**[10:45] ---**
    *What?!*
**[10:46] ---**
    *Chakra is being extracted*
    *from Gaara and Foo.*
**[10:50] ---**
    What's wrong, Neji?!
**[10:52] ---**
    What is in that cocoon?!
**[10:57] ---**
    Two Jinchuriki.
**[10:59] ---**
    One of them is Lord Gaara…
**[11:01] ---**
    But who's the other one?
**[11:03] ---**
    From the Hidden Waterfall…
**[11:05] ---**
    It's your teammate.
**[11:12] ---**
    Are you fine with this happening?
    At this rate, they'll both die.
**[11:17] ---**
    It's probably the Sealing Jutsu
    of that lute-playing priest.
**[11:20] ---**
    He's extracting Tailed Beast Chakra,
**[11:23] ---**
    and ultimately,
    the Beasts themselves.
**[11:26] ---**
    If the Tailed Beast is extracted,
    Lord Gaara will die!
**[11:29] ---**
    Please help him!
**[11:32] ---**
    And what do you intend to do?
**[11:35] ---**
    Are you going to abandon
    your teammate?
**[11:36] ---**
    Let's call a truce,
    and fight together!
**[11:40] ---**
    If we act now, we can save them…
**[11:51] ---**
    Please…
**[11:52] ---**
    Save Foo.
**[11:55] ---**
    All right.
**[12:13] ---**
    I see!
**[12:21] ---**
    From what I gather,
    the priest's back is vulnerable.
**[12:27] ---**
    This is what I've come up with.
**[12:29] ---**
    We'll divide into two teams…
**[12:31] ---**
    An attack and a rescue team.
**[12:34] ---**
    The attack team will sneak in close
    and attack from behind…
**[12:39] ---**
    The rescue team will seize
    the opportunity and rescue the two.
**[12:43] ---**
    Lee, Matsuri and the two
    from the Hidden Waterfall
**[12:45] ---**
    will attack the lute-playing priest!
**[12:47] ---**
    – Understood.
    – Understood.
**[12:48] ---**
    Right! We'll pulverize him!
**[12:51] ---**
    I'd like to be on the rescue team!
**[12:53] ---**
    No, I need Tenten for the rescue.
**[12:56] ---**
    The two of us will go.
**[12:57] ---**
    Okay!
**[12:59] ---**
    Scatter!
**[13:06] ---**
    *Shuriken Shadow Clone!*
**[13:09] ---**
    *Water Style: Water Shuriken!*
**[13:11] ---**
    *Deadly Shell Meteorite!*
**[13:14] ---**
    *Leaf Hurricane!*
**[13:19] ---**
    Dharma Barrier:
    Celestial Pillars!
**[13:26] ---**
    What is that?!
**[13:27] ---**
    Some defensive jutsu?!
**[13:29] ---**
    No, that's not the only thing.
**[13:32] ---**
    Let's use caution!
**[13:55] ---**
    Tenten, I need a Chakra Sword.
**[13:57] ---**
    Got it!
**[13:59] ---**
    SWORD
    
**[14:10] ---**
    *Aim for a section of the cocoon!*
**[14:22] ---**
    Right here!
**[14:38] ---**
    Damn it! We can't get close to him!
**[14:40] ---**
    It's an impregnable barrier!
**[14:42] ---**
    At this rate, we're not helping
    Lord Kazekage at all.
**[14:46] ---**
    No, this is sufficient.
**[14:48] ---**
    What?
**[14:50] ---**
    Just drawing his attention away
    will make Neji's job easier.
**[14:53] ---**
    That is what we are here to do.
**[14:56] ---**
    Neji, are you all right?!
**[15:01] ---**
    Are you two okay?
**[15:03] ---**
    See!
**[15:04] ---**
    Someone came to help, after all!
**[15:06] ---**
    I gave strict orders
    not to tell anyone…
**[15:09] ---**
    Don't be angry with
    your subordinates.
**[15:11] ---**
    They were worried sick about you.
**[15:18] ---**
    I figured as much…
**[15:20] ---**
    This chain has penetrated
    your Chakra Points.
**[15:24] ---**
    And they are causing direct damage
    to the Chakra Network.
**[15:27] ---**
    They're controlling
    the flow of chakra
**[15:28] ---**
    through the Chakra Points and
**[15:30] ---**
    siphoning away
    your Tailed Beast Chakra.
**[15:34] ---**
    Yeah…
**[15:35] ---**
    Eventually, the Tailed Beast Chakra
    will be weakened enough
**[15:37] ---**
    and he'll extract the Beast itself.
**[15:40] ---**
    Can you please help?
**[15:42] ---**
    Tailed Beast or whatever,
    chakra is chakra.
**[15:46] ---**
    If we plug the Chakra Point that's being
    used to siphon the Tailed Beast Chakra,
**[15:50] ---**
    we may be able to stop the flow.
**[15:53] ---**
    Is that possible?
**[15:55] ---**
    Yeah… It'll be tricky,
    but it's worth a try.
**[15:59] ---**
    Please do.
**[16:06] ---**
    Here it is!
**[16:07] ---**
    Gentle Fist: Chakra Point Needle!
**[16:15] ---**
    What happened?
**[16:18] ---**
    The Tailed Beast Chakra is
    so powerful that it repelled me.
**[16:23] ---**
    I didn't think it would
    be this strong!
**[16:31] ---**
    *That time…*
**[16:33] ---**
    *The force of the Nine Tails Chakra*
    *inside Naruto was unbelievable…*
**[16:39] ---**
    *So I guess Gaara and*
    *Foo's Tailed Beast Chakra*
**[16:41] ---**
    *are just as powerful as Naruto's.*
**[16:46] ---**
    Please don't give up!
    We're counting on you!
**[16:50] ---**
    Yeah, I know. I'll try again!
**[17:12] ---**
    All right, the flow stopped!
**[17:15] ---**
    You're next, Foo!
**[17:17] ---**
    Okay!
**[17:31] ---**
    *What?!*
**[17:33] ---**
    *The chakra flow has stopped?!*
**[17:36] ---**
    Why?!
**[17:37] ---**
    Why isn't the Tailed Beast
    Chakra flowing in?!
**[17:40] ---**
    The lute-playing priest
    is acting strange…
**[17:42] ---**
    Yes, something must
    have happened.
**[17:45] ---**
    Did the Leaf's Byakugan user
    do something?
**[17:48] ---**
    Well, the enemy definitely
    looks flustered.
**[18:12] ---**
    What's happening?
**[18:13] ---**
    It looks like it's alive!
**[18:15] ---**
    That's creepy!
**[18:16] ---**
    Be careful!
**[18:20] ---**
    *Unless I do something,*
**[18:21] ---**
    *the chain will continue searching*
    *for Tailed Beast Chakra!*
**[18:25] ---**
    *It will find the chakra that*
    *it has already stored up in me…*
**[18:28] ---**
    *and start siphoning*
    *that Tailed Beast Chakra…*
**[18:31] ---**
    *until it destroys itself.*
**[18:55] ---**
    The barrier's been broken!
**[19:09] ---**
    May I ask you, not to kill him?
**[19:13] ---**
    Yes, I understand.
**[19:21] ---**
    Neji…
**[19:25] ---**
    I see…
**[19:26] ---**
    It's the same theory as earlier.
**[19:29] ---**
    The Chakra Points are closed.
**[19:32] ---**
    There are more Chakra Points
    here though…
**[19:35] ---**
    Everyone, please stand back!
**[19:56] ---**
    We can still save him.
**[19:58] ---**
    Let's take him to the Medical Team.
**[19:59] ---**
    Yes, understood!
**[20:06] ---**
    You have my thanks, Neji.
**[20:08] ---**
    Imagine, being rescued by you.
**[20:12] ---**
    Is everyone all right?!
**[20:14] ---**
    Yes, we're okay now.
**[20:18] ---**
    Lord Gaara!
**[20:20] ---**
    Thank goodness you're safe!
**[20:23] ---**
    Matsuri performed admirably too.
**[20:32] ---**
    Over there!
**[20:34] ---**
    It seems like they don't need
    our help, after all!
**[20:38] ---**
    Yes, I guess we were
    a little too late.
**[20:42] ---**
    I'm Foo of the Hidden Waterfall!
**[20:44] ---**
    I'm trying to make
    one hundred friends!
**[20:48] ---**
    So please, be Foo's friend!
**[20:51] ---**
    O-Okay, okay!
**[20:53] ---**
    I get it, just let go of my hand.
**[20:57] ---**
    Neji! You're so lucky!
**[20:59] ---**
    Woohoo! Woohoo!
**[21:01] ---**
    Friends! Friends!
**[22:37] ---**
    There was a time I felt the wounds
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    that I inflicted on my people
    would never heal.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I thought I should just disappear
    from the Sand Village.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    But I found there were people who,
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    without any prejudice,
    accepted my feelings.

**[01:30] ---**
    *Hopes Entrusted to the Future*
**[01:37] ---**
    He's not on the north route.
**[01:39] ---**
    He isn't on the south or
    west routes either!
**[01:42] ---**
    Where could Lord Gaara
    have gone?
**[01:46] ---**
    The massive sandstorm
    seems to have passed.
**[01:48] ---**
    Lord Gaara?!
**[01:50] ---**
    What's the big commotion?
**[01:52] ---**
    Stop making a fuss and
    resume the Second Exam.
**[01:56] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[01:57] ---**
    Hurry! Prepare to resume
    the Second Exam!
**[02:12] ---**
    *It's unusual for Houichi*
    *not to send a message.*
**[02:16] ---**
    *Did he fail?*
**[02:32] ---**
    Lord Gaara!
**[02:38] ---**
    Fugi…
**[02:39] ---**
    I've wanted to have
    an in-depth discussion with you.
**[02:45] ---**
    Well then…
**[02:47] ---**
    What did you want to talk about?
**[02:50] ---**
    I've always thought of you as
    a valuable citizen of the Hidden Sand.
**[02:56] ---**
    Of course, I still do.
**[02:59] ---**
    I am humbled.
**[03:01] ---**
    In the past, words like "citizen"
    and "friend" were just that…
**[03:06] ---**
    Mere words that held
    no meaning to me.
**[03:10] ---**
    For a long time after I was born,
    even though I recognized these words,
**[03:14] ---**
    they were not part
    of my existence.
**[03:17] ---**
    Oh. And when did these concepts
    become real to you?
**[03:23] ---**
    When I infiltrated
    the Hidden Leaf Village
**[03:24] ---**
    with the intent to destroy it.
**[03:26] ---**
    There, for the first time,
    I met someone I could call a friend.
**[03:30] ---**
    Ironically, he was an enemy
    who belonged to the Hidden Leaf.
**[03:40] ---**
    Although he and I
    shared similar circumstances,
**[03:43] ---**
    he empathized with the pain of others,
    and shared in their joy and tears…
**[03:50] ---**
    Meeting him made me realize…
**[03:54] ---**
    how precious and important
    the word "friend" is.
**[04:00] ---**
    And it made me want
    to become like him…
**[04:02] ---**
    a human being who is valued
    and needed by others.
**[04:08] ---**
    Lord Gaara, you are and
    will always be,
**[04:11] ---**
    a person who is essential
    to the Hidden Sand.
**[04:16] ---**
    All this time, I've been considered
    a military weapon to be feared.
**[04:21] ---**
    And that continues to instill fear even
    in the hearts of the Hidden Sand.
**[04:26] ---**
    But that's—!
**[04:28] ---**
    I know.
**[04:30] ---**
    If this were not so,
**[04:31] ---**
    my own father would not
    have tried to kill me six times.
**[04:37] ---**
    I am aware of the deeply rooted opposition
    to my tenure as the Kazekage.
**[04:44] ---**
    Should I accept position
    or should I turn it down?
**[04:48] ---**
    It was a dilemma for me.
**[04:49] ---**
    But after my friend, the Leaf Shinobi,
    taught me about friendship,
**[04:53] ---**
    I thought it over and decided…
**[04:55] ---**
    that I wanted to heal the pain
    I had caused everyone.
**[04:59] ---**
    But it's been difficult to
    get the people of the Sand
**[05:03] ---**
    to believe that I am sincere.
**[05:05] ---**
    There was a time I felt the wounds
    that I inflicted on my people
**[05:08] ---**
    would never heal.
**[05:11] ---**
    I thought I should just disappear
    from the Sand Village,
**[05:15] ---**
    then the fear would
    finally disappear too.
**[05:19] ---**
    But I found there were people who,
    without any prejudice,
**[05:23] ---**
    accepted my feelings.
**[05:32] ---**
    *You are frightened of yourself.*
**[05:36] ---**
    *When you handle a weapon,*
**[05:38] ---**
    *you must suppress your feelings*
    *and become emotionless.*
**[05:41] ---**
    *Y-Yes, sir!*
**[05:44] ---**
    *I once met someone just like you*
    *in Hidden Leaf Village.*
**[05:50] ---**
    *Through sheer perseverance,*
    *he has become a fine shinobi.*
**[05:55] ---**
    *Shira, I predict you will be*
    *as good a shinobi as him.*
**[06:02] ---**
    These shinobi have to come to accept
    and rely on my guidance,
**[06:08] ---**
    and are maturing steadily.
**[06:14] ---**
    We're almost there.
**[06:16] ---**
    But we still need one more scroll.
**[06:19] ---**
    Well, a lot of things happened.
**[06:21] ---**
    Let's forget about passing
    the Chunin Exams until the next time.
**[06:26] ---**
    In that case, I don't know
    if we'll get a scroll,
**[06:31] ---**
    but there's someone
    I want to fight just once.
**[06:35] ---**
    That person received guidance
    from Lord Gaara
**[06:39] ---**
    and developed into a shinobi,
    just like me.
**[06:42] ---**
    There's something
    I want to confirm
**[06:44] ---**
    by fighting someone who received
    the same teachings as me...
**[06:52] ---**
    We did it!
**[06:54] ---**
    We made it! We made it!
**[06:55] ---**
    But we still only have
    the "Heaven" scroll…
**[06:59] ---**
    It can't be helped.
**[07:01] ---**
    We're physically at
    the end of our limits!
**[07:03] ---**
    If I hadn't stopped along
    the way for a personal battle…
**[07:06] ---**
    Don't say that!
**[07:07] ---**
    That's right.
    This is all we can do right now.
**[07:10] ---**
    I'm sure we'll get
    another crack at it.
**[07:12] ---**
    Thank you!
**[07:22] ---**
    What is it?
**[07:23] ---**
    Shira, please fight me.
**[07:26] ---**
    If I lose, you can have this.
**[07:33] ---**
    It's senseless for Sand
    to fight Sand.
**[07:36] ---**
    We've already made a decision.
**[07:39] ---**
    Hey!
**[07:40] ---**
    This is useless to us!
**[07:43] ---**
    Take it!
**[07:45] ---**
    Really? You're a lifesaver!
**[07:47] ---**
    We can't accept it.
**[07:49] ---**
    What?
**[07:54] ---**
    Truth be told,
    we don't want the scroll.
**[07:57] ---**
    I just want to use this opportunity
    to fight you, Shira.
**[08:00] ---**
    Fight me?
**[08:02] ---**
    You and I both…
**[08:04] ---**
    have been taught
    by Lord Gaara.
**[08:07] ---**
    We are the ones who will carry out
    Lord Gaara the Kazakage's will…
**[08:10] ---**
    and support
    the Hidden Sand Village.
**[08:14] ---**
    I want to make sure
    we deserve that right.
**[08:18] ---**
    Fine. I accept your challenge.
**[08:22] ---**
    Is this okay?
**[08:23] ---**
    If that's what you wish, Shira.
**[08:26] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[08:28] ---**
    Thank you, Shira.
**[08:31] ---**
    Who are they?
**[08:33] ---**
    The promising youthful power that
    will sustain the future of the Sand…
**[08:38] ---**
    I believe in them and
    have high hopes for them.
**[08:45] ---**
    Those who wish to hunt me
    are free to do so…
**[08:48] ---**
    However, do not involve those youths.
**[08:53] ---**
    I don't want them colored with
    hatred and vengeance.
**[08:58] ---**
    Come on, Matsuri!
**[08:59] ---**
    Right!
**[09:15] ---**
    There were times when
    I doubted myself as the Kazekage.
**[09:21] ---**
    But after coming into contact
    with them,
**[09:24] ---**
    I realized that perhaps even
    someone like me can accomplish things.
**[09:31] ---**
    I want to erase hatred
    from Hidden Sand Village,
**[09:35] ---**
    and create bonds with people
    I can call friends…
**[09:37] ---**
    Friends who understand and
    share each other's pain.
**[09:43] ---**
    If you object, then take my head.
**[09:47] ---**
    But leave them out of this.
**[10:20] ---**
    Come on.
**[10:35] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[10:41] ---**
    Please take this.
**[10:44] ---**
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
**[10:49] ---**
    This won't work…
**[11:01] ---**
    *Lord Gaara has matured indeed.*
**[11:03] ---**
    *Perhaps we old soldiers*
    *worried needlessly.*
**[11:09] ---**
    *We must let the horrible*
    *memories of the past*
**[11:11] ---**
    *fade into the darkness...*
**[11:13] ---**
    *And leave it to the next generation*
    *to build a new future.*
**[11:19] ---**
    *I alone was responsible*
    *for all of this.*
**[11:56] ---**
    Please accept these.
**[11:58] ---**
    Two "Heaven" scrolls
    are not acceptable!
**[12:01] ---**
    Oh, but that's—!
**[12:03] ---**
    No, no, no!
**[12:05] ---**
    I can't reveals any details, but there were
    extraordinary circumstances
**[12:08] ---**
    that prevented us
    from collecting scrolls!
**[12:11] ---**
    Please ask Lord Kazekage!
**[12:13] ---**
    It doesn't matter what circumstances
    there were. No means no!
**[12:16] ---**
    You are stingy!
**[12:17] ---**
    – Now, now…
    – Just give it up.
**[12:19] ---**
    No…! I can't just give up!
**[12:27] ---**
    Cancel the Third Exam?
**[12:30] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[12:31] ---**
    I can't go into details,
**[12:33] ---**
    but this is a domestic matter
    within the Sand.
**[12:36] ---**
    Then how do we determine
    who passed the Chunin Exams?
**[12:38] ---**
    We've prepared detailed reports
**[12:41] ---**
    about each team's performance
    in the Second Exam.
**[12:44] ---**
    I'd like the respective villages
    to use them
**[12:46] ---**
    to decide whether their participants
    should be promoted to chunin.
**[12:51] ---**
    Well, these exams were meant
    to test their ability
**[12:54] ---**
    to carry out missions as chunin…
**[12:58] ---**
    It can't be helped if
    things turned out like this.
**[13:00] ---**
    But the participants put their lives
    on the line to cross the Demon Desert…
**[13:04] ---**
    Will they be satisfied with this?
**[13:06] ---**
    I understand that.
**[13:12] ---**
    Looks like the Third Exam
    is cancelled.
**[13:14] ---**
    What happens to
    the Chunin Exams then?
**[13:17] ---**
    I did have a bad feeling
    about this…
**[13:21] ---**
    Does that mean all that effort
    was for nothing?!
**[13:24] ---**
    We continued to the very end and
    didn't give up, so we should be okay.
**[13:27] ---**
    Those who dropped out midway
    are the ones who should be worried.
**[13:32] ---**
    I sort of feel sorry for them.
**[13:34] ---**
    All we gained was hunger
    and exhaustion.
**[13:38] ---**
    That's no gain!
**[13:40] ---**
    At the very least,
    perhaps we gained self-confidence.
**[13:50] ---**
    Exam participants!
    I commend your hard efforts!
**[13:55] ---**
    With the passage of time,
**[13:56] ---**
    our shinobi world needs
    a new system with new laws.
**[14:02] ---**
    Until today, we shinobi were
    required to sacrifice
**[14:05] ---**
    even the lives of our comrades
    for the sake of our laws and rules.
**[14:09] ---**
    But I have realized that we have
    something even more precious
**[14:12] ---**
    than rules and regulations.
**[14:18] ---**
    That is friendship,
    with our fellow villagers, our fellow shinobi,
**[14:23] ---**
    and the bond we share with others
    who understand the same pain…
**[14:27] ---**
    I believe that
**[14:29] ---**
    each of you who stands here now
    knows exactly what I mean.
**[14:34] ---**
    Therefore, I deem
    the Third Exam unnecessary…
**[14:38] ---**
    Furthermore, I am rescinding part of
    the requirements for the Second Exam.
**[14:42] ---**
    So what does that mean?
**[14:44] ---**
    For each of you standing
    here right now,
**[14:48] ---**
    a detailed report of your performance
    will be sent to your respective villages.
**[14:52] ---**
    Your Kage will make the final decision
    on your promotion.
**[14:58] ---**
    That means we have
    to wait longer?
**[15:00] ---**
    But it also means we still
    have a chance, correct?
**[15:20] ---**
    When you reach
    the northern border, be careful.
**[15:23] ---**
    Thank you.
**[15:25] ---**
    Yome, since you're going up
    there too, try to be nice!
**[15:28] ---**
    Huh?! What? Huh?!
**[15:31] ---**
    We got assigned to
    the same place by chance, that's all!
**[15:34] ---**
    Yeah, sure!
**[15:37] ---**
    Go for it!
**[15:43] ---**
    Yome, let's go!
**[15:46] ---**
    Hey, wait up!
**[15:49] ---**
    I hope they're going to be okay!
**[16:10] ---**
    We've gone through the report
    from the Hidden Sand,
**[16:13] ---**
    and your Chunin promotion
    has been approved.
**[16:17] ---**
    Thank you.
**[16:19] ---**
    And I'm going to assign you
    to an S-rank mission right away.
**[16:32] ---**
    Today's corpse is really light.
**[16:34] ---**
    I can tell by experience…
    this one is a woman.
**[16:40] ---**
    The highest tower in the village where
    we always deliver these bodies…
**[16:45] ---**
    You know what that's for?
**[16:48] ---**
    In our village, isn't it usually where
    the ashes are enshrined?
**[16:52] ---**
    It was originally built as
    a memorial to honor the dead.
**[16:58] ---**
    NO TRESPASSING
    
    If that's the case, why is it off-limits to
    even relatives of the dead?
**[17:02] ---**
    Like I know...
**[17:04] ---**
    Rumor has it that Lord Pain
    is up there.
**[17:08] ---**
    Huh? That's ridiculous…
**[17:10] ---**
    It can't be true.
**[17:12] ---**
    Rumor… It's just a rumor.
**[17:14] ---**
    Anyway, I'm going to check it out...
**[17:20] ---**
    Just like you said, it's a woman.
**[17:23] ---**
    It's Ajisai the chunin.
**[17:26] ---**
    She just passed the exams recently.
**[17:29] ---**
    Her very first mission after becoming
    a chunin…ended like this?
**[17:32] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[17:34] ---**
    Oh…Lady Angel!
**[17:36] ---**
    Bring the next one, quickly.
**[17:43] ---**
    Yourou!
**[17:44] ---**
    I know… We're being followed.
**[17:47] ---**
    Fuu… Let's go to that rocky area for now.
**[17:50] ---**
    What? How boring.
**[17:56] ---**
    We don't know who you are…
**[17:58] ---**
    But we've been on to you
    for a while now.
**[18:03] ---**
    I told him to stop…
**[18:06] ---**
    since not being able to kill you
    is such a pain in the butt.
**[18:10] ---**
    Say, mister! Aren't you a former
    Hidden Waterfall?
**[18:16] ---**
    What?
**[18:17] ---**
    I know you! After your failed Hokage
    assassination attempt,
**[18:21] ---**
    you stole the hearts of
    the village elders and escaped…
**[18:23] ---**
    You're Kakuzu!
**[18:25] ---**
    Kakuzu?!
**[18:26] ---**
    Impossible! How old does
    that make him?!
**[18:28] ---**
    I always thought if
    I got to meet you,
**[18:31] ---**
    I'd like to be your friend!
**[18:34] ---**
    Kakuzu… Is she stupid?
**[18:36] ---**
    I wouldn't know.
**[18:38] ---**
    I deserted the village
    a long time ago.
**[18:41] ---**
    How about we start out as
    casual acquaintances over tea?
**[18:47] ---**
    I didn't come here today
    to become your friend…
**[18:52] ---**
    Well, that's too bad…
**[19:02] ---**
    I've gone over
    your Second Exam reports.
**[19:06] ---**
    And…Hinata, Shino, Kiba,
    Choji, Ino and Sakura…
**[19:12] ---**
    You six passed with flying colors
    and are promoted to chunin!
**[19:17] ---**
    *After all, we didn't have*
    *the second scroll…*
**[19:22] ---**
    Komugi, Gennai, Inaho…
**[19:25] ---**
    You will be given another chance
    next time.
**[19:30] ---**
    Finally…although they did not
    collect two scrolls,
**[19:35] ---**
    they performed admirably…
**[19:37] ---**
    and are more than qualified
    for promotion.
**[19:40] ---**
    Lee and Tenten,
    you are now chunin.
**[19:46] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[19:47] ---**
    Team Guy is one for all, all for one!
    How can Neji not be included…?!
**[19:51] ---**
    Just let me finish!
**[19:53] ---**
    Neji Hyuga is given a special
    double promotion to jonin!
**[19:58] ---**
    The Kazekage himself noted,
**[19:59] ---**
    "In particular, Neji's performance
    was most impressive and"
**[20:01] ---**
    "due consideration has
    been given in this report."
**[20:05] ---**
    He's already proven himself to be
    more than capable as a chunin.
**[20:10] ---**
    Way to go, Neji!
**[20:12] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[20:13] ---**
    Thank you very much!
**[20:17] ---**
    Thank you to you both.
**[20:20] ---**
    I made it to chunin because
    of Team Guy's teamwork.
**[20:24] ---**
    Our three-man squad is forever, right?
**[20:27] ---**
    Yes, I hope so.
**[20:30] ---**
    I finally overtook Naruto!
**[20:33] ---**
    He's going to be so mad that
    he missed the Chunin Exams.
**[20:38] ---**
    I wonder what kind of training
    Naruto is doing now…
**[20:46] ---**
    *It will soon be time to*
    *wrap up training*
**[20:49] ---**
    *and return to Hidden Leaf Village.*
**[20:52] ---**
    Ouch!
**[20:54] ---**
    That chest wound still hurts, right?
**[20:57] ---**
    Pervy Sage, you just rest up!
**[21:01] ---**
    I'm gonna continue my training!
**[22:37] ---**
    Hang in there, Naruto!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    What's going on?! My Medical Ninjutsu
    isn't working on him!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    It's probably because Nine Tails
    has been extracted out of him!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    But there's a way to save him!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    That's why we're hurrying!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    There's someone else where Sasuke is.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Do you recognize the chakra?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    No, but it has
    a real nasty feel to it.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "On the Brink of Death"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Is this the end of the line for him?
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    ON THE BRINK OF DEATH
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:04] ---**
    Good…
**[00:13] ---**
    Naruto!
**[00:20] ---**
    Stop, Madara!
**[00:24] ---**
    I already told you
    that you had little time left.
**[00:33] ---**
    Obito…
**[00:35] ---**
    He's reluctant to give up
    the Rinnegan to Madara…
**[00:39] ---**
    You stubborn fool…
    You're almost dead anyway!
**[00:53] ---**
    Hang in there! Don't give up!
**[00:56] ---**
    You're strong! You'll pull through!
**[01:05] ---**
    *My chakra's almost all…*
**[01:13] ---**
    Sasuke's not good, he's really gonna…
**[01:18] ---**
    At this rate, Naruto's going to…
**[01:21] ---**
    – die!
    – die!
**[02:58] ---**
    *On the Brink of Death*
    
    
**[03:30] ---**
    *The Nine Tails' chakra…*
**[03:42] ---**
    *No heartbeat or pulse...*
**[03:44] ---**
    No way!
**[03:46] ---**
    Hang in there, Naruto!
**[03:49] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[03:50] ---**
    My Medical Ninjutsu isn't
    working on him!
**[03:52] ---**
    It's probably because the Nine Tails
    has been extracted from him!
**[03:56] ---**
    That's impossible!
**[03:57] ---**
    Madara got him.
**[03:59] ---**
    But there's a way to save him!
**[04:01] ---**
    That's why we're hurrying!
**[04:03] ---**
    To where?!
**[04:04] ---**
    To where the Fourth Hokage is.
**[04:08] ---**
    *Hey, kid! Kazekage! Do me a favor!*
**[04:11] ---**
    *His father…*
**[04:12] ---**
    *One-half of me is sealed inside*
    *the Fourth Hokage, Minato.*
**[04:18] ---**
    *So transplant that other half*
    *into Naruto. That will save him.*
**[04:23] ---**
    *Hurry to the Fourth Hokage!*
**[04:25] ---**
    *He has the Teleportation Jutsu.*
**[04:28] ---**
    *Can't we just contact him over there*
    *somehow and have him come here?*
**[04:30] ---**
    *That won't work!*
**[04:31] ---**
    *His Teleportation Jutsu is written*
    *into my Sealing Formula.*
**[04:35] ---**
    *Once I'm extracted,*
    *it will disappear…*
**[04:40] ---**
    *Just rush Naruto over*
    *to the Fourth Hokage.*
**[04:43] ---**
    *Got that, Gaara?!*
**[04:59] ---**
    *Kid Kazekage…*
    *I'm counting on you!*
**[05:05] ---**
    That's what Nine Tails told me.
**[05:08] ---**
    Right now, there's no other way
    to save Naruto!
**[05:13] ---**
    How much longer 'til
    we get there?
**[05:15] ---**
    Several kilometers!
**[05:21] ---**
    *I'll do whatever it takes*
    *with what little chakra I have left!*
**[05:47] ---**
    All right!
**[05:53] ---**
    As long as I'm here,
    I am not going to let you die!
**[06:10] ---**
    I'm going to go at full speed!
**[06:12] ---**
    Right!
**[06:19] ---**
    If I could just…save his soul
    with my Forbidden Jutsu…
**[06:23] ---**
    I can't sense any chakra
    in him anymore.
**[06:27] ---**
    I can't even move my body…
    let alone use Teleportation.
**[06:31] ---**
    Damn you, Madara!
**[06:37] ---**
    Karin just went charging ahead!
**[06:40] ---**
    Let's go back up Karin!
**[06:43] ---**
    Shouldn't we wait for an opening,
    or have some sort of plan?
**[06:53] ---**
    Whoa, you're not getting past me.
**[06:56] ---**
    No one's answered my question yet.
**[07:10] ---**
    Don't get in my way!
**[07:23] ---**
    I'm going to Sasuke!
**[07:24] ---**
    Move, you bastard!
**[07:26] ---**
    You've got to be kidding!
    Karin is amazing.
**[07:29] ---**
    What is this?!
**[07:30] ---**
    The same power as
    Kushina Uzumaki's.
**[07:33] ---**
    *After all this time,*
    *she's finally attained it…*
**[07:36] ---**
    Oh no…
**[07:38] ---**
    You just broke my little toy!
**[07:41] ---**
    Do not…underestimate me!
**[07:52] ---**
    Double Blast!
**[08:00] ---**
    Not bad.
**[08:16] ---**
    I can't move…
**[08:18] ---**
    *A Curse Mark!*
**[08:21] ---**
    Too bad!
**[08:23] ---**
    A-Amazing…
**[08:25] ---**
    Orochimaru…They got past it!
**[08:37] ---**
    It's no big deal.
**[08:39] ---**
    It's too late even if
    you go over there anyway.
**[08:44] ---**
    But as for you guys…
**[08:46] ---**
    I'm going to take you down.
**[08:48] ---**
    Stop your ogling!
**[08:50] ---**
    We must go too.
**[08:53] ---**
    *Still…who is he?*
**[09:00] ---**
    Are you all right, Karin?
**[09:02] ---**
    Yeah… But never mind me.
**[09:05] ---**
    Sasuke! I can't sense Sasuke!
**[10:07] ---**
    So this is Six Paths power…
**[10:11] ---**
    Now, for that left eye.
**[10:30] ---**
    *I'm a super elite ninja who's gonna*
    *be the Hokage someday…*
**[10:34] ---**
    *Remember my name…*
    *Naruto Uzumaki!*
**[10:40] ---**
    *I'm gonna become the Hokage!*
**[10:42] ---**
    *The Hokage that surpasses all*
    *previous Hokage, ya know!*
**[10:45] ---**
    *That silly dream you once had…*
**[10:48] ---**
    *no longer seems silly.*
**[10:52] ---**
    *I will not let you die!*
**[10:56] ---**
    *You're not going to die,*
    *no matter what!*
**[11:01] ---**
    *Your dream…*
    *is right before your eyes now!*
**[11:13] ---**
    Who's there?!
**[11:45] ---**
    *Depending on the situation,*
**[11:47] ---**
    *Orochimaru might try*
    *to steal Sasuke's body.*
**[11:51] ---**
    *It's what Kimimaro had wanted,*
    *but I doubt Karin would allow it.*
**[11:58] ---**
    There's someone else
    where Sasuke is.
**[12:00] ---**
    Do you recognize the chakra?
**[12:04] ---**
    No! But…
**[12:07] ---**
    But what?
**[12:10] ---**
    This chakra…
    has a real nasty feel to it!
**[12:17] ---**
    Then we need to hurry even more.
**[12:19] ---**
    We don't know what this stranger
    might do to Sasuke.
**[12:28] ---**
    *Is this the end for him?*
**[12:35] ---**
    *Damn it…*
**[12:38] ---**
    Yikes!
**[12:39] ---**
    Karin! If you up the pace too much,
    you're going to collapse soon.
**[12:45] ---**
    Let's head to the others
    with youth power to the max!
**[12:49] ---**
    Lee! Tenten!
**[12:51] ---**
    Yes, sir! But you're falling over,
    Guy Sensei!
**[12:55] ---**
    Your body isn't keeping up
    with your spirit!
**[13:04] ---**
    That's Gaara's sand…
**[13:06] ---**
    I think I saw Sakura too…
**[13:08] ---**
    Why are they retreating?
**[13:12] ---**
    Kakashi hasn't overtaken
    and passed us yet, has he?
**[13:15] ---**
    No.
**[13:17] ---**
    The Nine Tails' chakra we got
    from Naruto has disappeared.
**[13:19] ---**
    And Sakura, a Medical Ninja,
    is on the move…
**[13:23] ---**
    I have a feeling something
    is going down on Kakashi's side.
**[13:37] ---**
    We're heading back, Lee! Tenten!
**[13:39] ---**
    My red-hot blood is boiling!
**[13:41] ---**
    It must be a super premonition!
**[13:48] ---**
    Nothing good can come out of
    being stuck with
**[13:51] ---**
    this hot-blooded, airhead duo!
**[13:54] ---**
    Neji, why did you leave me?
**[13:59] ---**
    Okay, let's head back.
**[14:02] ---**
    You want to go back, right?
    Fine, let's do that.
**[14:07] ---**
    *Neji…*
**[14:09] ---**
    *I'm never going to forgive you.*
**[14:18] ---**
    *Wait for me! I'll be there*
    *as fast as I can, Kakashi.*
**[14:23] ---**
    Hurry, Kakashi…the left eye.
**[14:27] ---**
    Obito's conscience is clear.
    Now's our chance.
**[14:31] ---**
    The problem is how to tear
    Obito away from that guy.
**[14:36] ---**
    And we can't hand over
    that left eye to the enemy…
**[15:09] ---**
    I feel a little heavy.
**[15:12] ---**
    There's something catching
    in my chest.
**[15:23] ---**
    The Sage of
    Six Paths' Ninja Tools, eh?
**[15:26] ---**
    Useless.
**[15:28] ---**
    *But now I'm lighter.*
**[15:46] ---**
    What will we accomplish
    by returning now?
**[15:50] ---**
    Tenten, don't grumble!
**[15:52] ---**
    I just have this gut feeling that
    some unknown horror is approaching.
**[15:57] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[16:06] ---**
    Are you two all right?!
**[16:08] ---**
    Yes…!
**[16:14] ---**
    No way…
**[16:15] ---**
    These are definitely the—!
**[16:36] ---**
    You guys are stubborn too!
**[16:39] ---**
    Obito's consciousness is
    no longer stable.
**[16:43] ---**
    Let's go, Kakashi.
**[16:46] ---**
    Hold on, Minato!
**[16:50] ---**
    Switch your chakra to Sensory Mode!
**[17:00] ---**
    No way!
**[17:02] ---**
    We were distracted by
    what was happening here.
**[17:05] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[17:06] ---**
    My other half has
    already been extracted!
**[17:11] ---**
    Sensei?
**[17:17] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[17:21] ---**
    What happened?
**[17:23] ---**
    The Nine Tails was extracted
    from Naruto!
**[17:25] ---**
    At this rate he'll—!
**[17:31] ---**
    Naruto…
**[17:34] ---**
    Fourth Hokage, I bring a message
    from Naruto's Nine Tails!
**[17:38] ---**
    He said to transplant
    the other half of Nine Tails
**[17:40] ---**
    that you have within you,
    into Naruto!
**[17:42] ---**
    That will save him!
**[17:46] ---**
    Oh…
**[17:48] ---**
    Kakashi, he's yours.
**[17:50] ---**
    I understand.
**[17:54] ---**
    I'll help!
**[18:08] ---**
    *I'm going.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Be careful.*
**[18:11] ---**
    *Of course! I'm not dying*
    *until I see my child's face.*
**[18:21] ---**
    *Once this baby is born…*
**[18:23] ---**
    *I'll have two things*
    *to worry about.*
**[18:34] ---**
    *Don't worry!*
**[18:36] ---**
    *I'll protect the kid!*
**[18:38] ---**
    *No matter what happens,*
    *and no matter what it takes!*
**[18:43] ---**
    *But you're busy being Hokage,*
**[18:45] ---**
    *and I get the feeling he's going to*
    *be mischievous and unreasonable*
**[18:47] ---**
    *and say he wants to be the Hokage…*
**[18:50] ---**
    *– He'll be clueless about girls…*
    *– Hey, wait!*
**[18:52] ---**
    *– And he'll defy his teachers! And…*
    *– Hold on!*
**[18:56] ---**
    *The child's not even born yet…*
    *You're worrying too much!*
**[19:00] ---**
    *Besides, how do you*
    *know it's a boy?*
**[19:02] ---**
    *Or that he'll want to be*
    *the Hokage even before it's born?*
**[19:07] ---**
    *Because…*
**[19:11] ---**
    *I'm his mother.*
**[19:19] ---**
    *In any case, I'm the Hokage.*
**[19:22] ---**
    *And I'm not going to die easily.*
**[19:23] ---**
    *And no matter what happens to me,*
**[19:24] ---**
    *I, the Hokage,*
    *will protect the child.*
**[19:26] ---**
    *Don't worry!*
**[19:28] ---**
    *You're quite confident when*
    *it comes to this baby!*
**[19:31] ---**
    *Well, of course…*
**[19:34] ---**
    *I'm his father.*
**[19:39] ---**
    *The current me can…*
**[19:48] ---**
    *This time for sure!*
**[20:04] ---**
    What?
**[20:07] ---**
    That's—!
**[20:09] ---**
    Nine Tails…
**[20:13] ---**
    You're finally mine!
**[20:24] ---**
    What happened?!
**[20:37] ---**
    How's Naruto?!
**[20:42] ---**
    What was that?
**[20:45] ---**
    No way…
**[20:48] ---**
    Lord Madara…
**[20:54] ---**
    You're late, Black Zetsu…
**[20:58] ---**
    I decided to come to you!
**[22:37] ---**
    Madara, I need to
    ask you something.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    What am I to you?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    You're kidding, right?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    What kind of stupid question is that,
    to ask at this point in time?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    You are only one thing to me.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    You are he who rejects this world,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    who holds that thought in his heart
    and strives toward a goal.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Two Mangekyo"
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Yes, you are…
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THE TWO MANGEKYO

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Two Mangekyo*
    
    
**[01:35] ---**
    Zetsu… How long are you going
    to cling to Obito?
**[01:39] ---**
    Sorry…
**[01:41] ---**
    But that allowed me to steal Nine Tails'
    other half from these guys.
**[01:46] ---**
    Good. Now bring it,
    and my left eye, to me.
**[01:51] ---**
    *I sense Sage Power…*
**[01:54] ---**
    *And it's much stronger than*
    *what Obito possessed.*
**[01:58] ---**
    So the Fourth Hokage's Nine Tails
    is inside that black thing!
**[02:02] ---**
    Madara?!
**[02:03] ---**
    How did he get Six Paths' power?
**[02:21] ---**
    Since Lord Madara is here,
    you can't do anything to me…
**[02:27] ---**
    even if I separate myself
    from Obito.
**[02:33] ---**
    Now, Kakashi!
**[02:53] ---**
    Why you—!
**[02:55] ---**
    You're still—!
**[02:56] ---**
    Not yet…
**[02:59] ---**
    I need to
    ask you something, Madara.
**[03:03] ---**
    We need the Nine Tails inside
    that thing for Naruto.
**[03:07] ---**
    We cannot afford to miss.
**[03:09] ---**
    We have to wait for
    the right moment.
**[03:12] ---**
    Just what am I…to you?
**[03:20] ---**
    You're kidding, right?
**[03:22] ---**
    What kind of a stupid question is that,
    at this point in time?
**[03:25] ---**
    You are only one thing to me…
**[03:29] ---**
    You are Madara.
**[03:31] ---**
    *Now go…*
**[03:35] ---**
    *Until the time when*
    *I am revived…*
**[03:39] ---**
    *You shall be Madara Uchiha.*
**[03:44] ---**
    Madara is he who rejects the world.
**[03:49] ---**
    All who hold that in their heart…
**[03:51] ---**
    and strive toward achieving
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi are Madara.
**[03:57] ---**
    That…
**[04:14] ---**
    That was once my path too.
**[04:17] ---**
    I left you in charge of everything…
**[04:20] ---**
    And let you walk in my shoes,
    while I slept, waiting to return.
**[04:26] ---**
    It's the path I guided you towards.
**[04:29] ---**
    You were supposed to live out
    your life as Madara
**[04:32] ---**
    in order to achieve our goal.
**[04:35] ---**
    As the savior who rescued this world.
**[04:40] ---**
    This world laid out by
    the Sage of the Six Paths…
**[04:45] ---**
    has failed.
**[04:49] ---**
    Now listen…
**[04:51] ---**
    The chakra dispersed by
    the Six Paths was originally…
**[04:53] ---**
    meant to be a linking power.
**[04:57] ---**
    The mental energies of people
    would connect and feelings
**[05:00] ---**
    would be understood without
    the need for words…
**[05:03] ---**
    That would lead to peace and stability.
**[05:06] ---**
    NINSHU
    
    The one who preached this
    as Ninshu, the Ninja Creed
**[05:09] ---**
    and sought to guide the people,
    was the Sage of the Six Paths.
**[05:17] ---**
    However…
**[05:19] ---**
    But before long, people used chakra
    not to connect with others
**[05:22] ---**
    but only to link the mental and
    physical energies within themselves.
**[05:29] ---**
    Through a method of infusing one's
    own chakra and increasing it multifold…
**[05:33] ---**
    they changed chakra into ninjutsu
    that could be used as weapons in battle.
**[05:39] ---**
    Ironically reverting to the way
    Six Paths' mother, Kaguya,
**[05:42] ---**
    had originally used chakra.
**[05:46] ---**
    Just what the hell is
    he talking about?!
**[05:50] ---**
    Gaara…
**[05:50] ---**
    I know.
**[05:52] ---**
    All the Sage of the Six Paths did was
    to further the human paradox.
**[05:58] ---**
    And even if bonds were established…
**[06:01] ---**
    All they learned was that
    true understanding was not possible.
**[06:06] ---**
    In any case, chakra only gives rise
    to conflict and false hope.
**[06:12] ---**
    We all know the reality all too well…
**[06:16] ---**
    Even as we seek peace,
    we seek war.
**[06:19] ---**
    And this reality compels
    infinite suffering
**[06:22] ---**
    through the power known as chakra.
**[06:26] ---**
    Power leads to the desire for war.
**[06:29] ---**
    And the lack of power leads
    to losing everything.
**[06:32] ---**
    I will build a new world
    that overcomes that!
**[06:38] ---**
    Through the Infinite Tsukuyomi,
**[06:40] ---**
    I will create a dream world
    without any abominable chakra!
**[06:44] ---**
    I, who possess the most
    powerful chakra, shall lead it!
**[06:49] ---**
    And you are not Obito,
    but me…Madara himself.
**[06:55] ---**
    Obito Uchiha with his Uchiha Chakra,
    challenged Kakashi Hatake,
**[07:00] ---**
    desired the title of Hokage,
    and yearned for Rin Nohara!
**[07:04] ---**
    But because his power was false,
    he ended up losing everything!
**[07:10] ---**
    This is hell!
**[07:12] ---**
    Have you forgotten?!
**[07:21] ---**
    Come over here.
**[07:23] ---**
    Yes, come, Madara!
**[07:26] ---**
    From this day forth,
    you are a savior.
**[07:30] ---**
    You are still the savior, even now.
**[07:34] ---**
    *Sand Wave!*
**[07:35] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[07:37] ---**
    *Sage Jutsu!*
**[07:42] ---**
    *Rasengan!*
**[07:57] ---**
    No way…
**[07:58] ---**
    Their combined attack…
**[08:06] ---**
    Now…
**[08:30] ---**
    You damned…
**[08:32] ---**
    What are you doing?!
**[08:40] ---**
    *No…*
**[08:41] ---**
    *What I'm doing is no different*
    *than a Hokage's actions.*
**[08:45] ---**
    *In fact, it's greater.*
**[08:48] ---**
    *Because I can truly*
    *bring about peace.*
**[08:51] ---**
    *There's no need to voluntarily*
    *walk down a path*
**[08:53] ---**
    *you know to be dangerous.*
**[08:55] ---**
    *You'll have to step over*
    *the corpses of your friends.*
**[08:58] ---**
    *It's the path I guided you to.*
**[09:01] ---**
    *I don't want to know the easy path.*
**[09:04] ---**
    *I left you in charge of everything…*
**[09:06] ---**
    *And let you walk in my shoes…*
**[09:09] ---**
    *The Hokage is the one who*
    *walks ahead of everyone else,*
**[09:12] ---**
    *who endures the pain.*
**[09:19] ---**
    One who leads others…
**[09:22] ---**
    is one who never steps
    over his friends' corpses…
**[09:25] ---**
    even if his own ends up
    being stepped on.
**[09:32] ---**
    Then in order to confirm that,
    you'll have to become a corpse.
**[09:38] ---**
    You won't be
    stepping on me anymore.
**[09:42] ---**
    I realize now that letting someone
    handle everything in your name
**[09:46] ---**
    isn't the same as truly
    entrusting them with the task.
**[09:51] ---**
    I am not you.
**[10:03] ---**
    *Go for it, Obito!*
**[10:06] ---**
    *Become the Hokage*
    *and save the world!*
**[10:10] ---**
    *That's a promise too!*
**[10:18] ---**
    The current me…
**[10:21] ---**
    is the one who wanted
    to be Hokage…Obito Uchiha!
**[10:34] ---**
    Obito…
**[10:40] ---**
    *Obito…You've finally found yourself!*
**[10:53] ---**
    I passed through you.
**[10:55] ---**
    That's your original right eye's power.
**[11:14] ---**
    Are you trying to weaken me
    by taking away the Tailed Beasts?
**[11:19] ---**
    Do you think you can
    challenge me and win?!
**[11:33] ---**
    So weak…
**[11:34] ---**
    Is that all? You only tore off
    a mere sliver of the One and Eight Tails?
**[11:43] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[11:44] ---**
    Take Naruto into the Time-Space!
**[11:48] ---**
    *Obito plans to hand him*
    *the Nine Tails there!*
**[11:52] ---**
    Kamui!
**[11:55] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[11:56] ---**
    *I know that when you teleport*
    *your body materializes…*
**[12:07] ---**
    *If I try to teleport carelessly,*
    *he'll come after me.*
**[12:12] ---**
    *My teleportation speed is too slow.*
**[12:15] ---**
    Since he'd been in Sage mode once,
**[12:18] ---**
    he was able to steal some
    Sage Power from me too…
**[12:36] ---**
    *Madara…*
**[12:37] ---**
    *could have killed me at any time…*
**[12:41] ---**
    *I was so scared I forgot to breathe!*
**[12:45] ---**
    *Of all the people,*
    *he's in a different class!*
**[12:52] ---**
    All right, I transported Naruto.
**[12:54] ---**
    All that's left is for you
    to teleport yourself there
**[12:56] ---**
    and Naruto will be saved, right, Obito?
**[13:00] ---**
    Damn it.
**[13:02] ---**
    You always talk down to me…
**[13:04] ---**
    And act so superior…
    Just like old times.
**[13:13] ---**
    Obito!
**[13:14] ---**
    Rin is here to pick you up.
**[13:16] ---**
    Sorry, sorry, Rin!
**[13:19] ---**
    I can't wait to see
    my great-grandchild's face, Obito.
**[13:23] ---**
    Grandma, I'm only five years old.
**[13:26] ---**
    Come on, hurry,
    it's going to start!
**[13:29] ---**
    YOUTH NINJUTSU COMPETITION
    
**[13:33] ---**
    Wow! This is the kunai prize!
**[13:36] ---**
    It's so cool!
**[13:39] ---**
    Okay, thank you very much!
**[13:42] ---**
    I wonder what kind of
    ninjutsu is next?
**[13:45] ---**
    If these are the opponents,
    this is going to be a piece of cake.
**[13:51] ---**
    Number seven, Obito Uchiha!
**[13:54] ---**
    That's me!
**[13:57] ---**
    Go for it, Obito!
**[13:59] ---**
    What are you going
    to show us, Obito?
**[14:02] ---**
    I'm going to be doing
    the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
**[14:05] ---**
    Wow, impressive!
**[14:06] ---**
    All right, let's get right to it!
**[14:08] ---**
    Here I go!
**[14:10] ---**
    Fire Style!
**[14:12] ---**
    Fireball Jutsu!
**[14:20] ---**
    Six points! Seven points!
    Seven points!
**[14:23] ---**
    These are great numbers!
**[14:25] ---**
    Obito Uchiha is in
    the lead right now!
**[14:33] ---**
    That was great, Obito!
**[14:36] ---**
    I wasn't in top form today,
    but I think it's a sure win for me.
**[14:41] ---**
    All right, here's our final challenger!
**[14:44] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake!
**[14:50] ---**
    What are you doing to do
    for us, Kakashi?
**[14:53] ---**
    Well, how about
    the Earth Style: Mud Wave?
**[14:55] ---**
    Really? That jutsu requires
    a considerable amount of chakra.
**[14:59] ---**
    Are you sure about this?
**[15:01] ---**
    Mud Wave? At our age?
**[15:04] ---**
    Earth Style! Mud Wave Jutsu!
**[15:15] ---**
    The judges all agree!
    Perfect 10s!
**[15:17] ---**
    The winner is Kakashi Hatake!
**[15:23] ---**
    Too bad, Obito.
**[15:29] ---**
    Kakashi…Hatake!
**[15:38] ---**
    You're late, Obito!
**[15:40] ---**
    Everyone's been waiting!
**[15:41] ---**
    Sorry, sorry! On the way,
    an old man was…
**[15:46] ---**
    *Kakashi!*
**[15:47] ---**
    Kakashi's joining us from today!
**[15:49] ---**
    Let's play kick-the-can today!
**[15:52] ---**
    Sure! Let's play!
**[15:57] ---**
    Kakashi's the only one left.
**[15:59] ---**
    Obito's such a fast runner.
**[16:01] ---**
    Save us, Kakashi!
**[16:04] ---**
    I'll catch him instantly!
**[16:07] ---**
    What—?!
**[16:09] ---**
    Saving my friends, no matter what…
**[16:11] ---**
    That's my Ninja Way.
**[16:27] ---**
    Want me to be "it"?
**[16:29] ---**
    As if!
**[16:37] ---**
    Obito was "it" the whole time.
**[16:39] ---**
    But he couldn't catch Kakashi,
    not even once…
**[16:41] ---**
    Kakashi is amazing.
**[16:44] ---**
    Oh, Mom!
**[16:47] ---**
    Obito, I have to leave.
**[16:49] ---**
    Me too! Mom!
**[16:56] ---**
    I won again.
**[17:00] ---**
    But I'll praise you for one thing…
**[17:02] ---**
    You're the only one until now
    who never chickened out.
**[17:07] ---**
    You show off!
**[17:09] ---**
    Hey, I was praising you.
**[17:14] ---**
    There's my dad! So long!
**[17:16] ---**
    Yeah… See you!
**[17:30] ---**
    Say, Grandma…
**[17:31] ---**
    Am I like my dad? Or my mom?
**[17:35] ---**
    Well, let's see…
    I think both of them.
**[17:40] ---**
    You are alive because
    of your parents.
**[17:43] ---**
    So you must honor them both
    and work for the sake of others.
**[17:52] ---**
    Oh man, oh man, oh man!
    This is the one day I can't be late!
**[17:56] ---**
    ENTRANCE CEREMONY
    
**[18:17] ---**
    It's the entrance ceremony
    and you're already late.
**[18:21] ---**
    Someone like you has no business
    being in the Academy.
**[18:24] ---**
    You'll never make it.
**[18:26] ---**
    It's okay.
**[18:29] ---**
    I got this for you.
**[18:32] ---**
    For me?
**[18:33] ---**
    Yes! Just submit this and
    you'll be able to enroll.
**[18:38] ---**
    Thank you! You're a lifesaver!
**[18:42] ---**
    Keep pampering him and
    he'll never be cured of his tardiness.
**[18:45] ---**
    Shut up! Do you wanna fight?
**[18:48] ---**
    Say that again!
**[18:49] ---**
    – What?
    – It's your fault!
**[18:51] ---**
    What did you say,
    stupid Kakashi?
**[18:55] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake!
**[18:57] ---**
    I'll take him down and become
    the Hokage, no matter what!
**[19:02] ---**
    That's the spirit!
**[19:26] ---**
    Kakashi is different from us, isn't he?
**[19:39] ---**
    What a dummy!
**[19:40] ---**
    He challenged Kakashi again
    and got his butt kicked.
**[19:44] ---**
    As if the class loser can beat
    the head of the class!
**[19:47] ---**
    Rin?!
**[19:56] ---**
    *Someday, I'll awaken my Sharingan,*
**[19:59] ---**
    *and I won't lose to him…*
**[20:10] ---**
    Kakashi hasn't been coming
    to class at all lately.
**[20:13] ---**
    I heard something unfortunate
    happened to his father.
**[20:19] ---**
    I think it's a difficult time
    for him right now…
**[20:25] ---**
    After that, you skipped a grade
    and quickly left the Academy.
**[20:42] ---**
    Back then, if I had noticed
    the huge emptiness in your heart…
**[20:47] ---**
    maybe our present destiny
    might have been a little different.
**[20:52] ---**
    I didn't realize how much
**[20:55] ---**
    the death of your father Sakumo
    had changed you…
**[22:37] ---**
    Hey Rin, have you seen Kakashi lately?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Why do you ask?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    I heard a rumor about him yesterday.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    It wasn't good,
    but he seemed different.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Could it be…?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Do you know something?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Well, no…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Formation of Team Minato"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Well, see you tomorrow, Obito!
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THE FORMATION OF TEAM MINATO
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *The Formation of Team Minato*
    
    
**[01:40] ---**
    I wish he'd stop messing around!
**[01:42] ---**
    Who wants to be together with him?!
**[01:45] ---**
    Don't be so upset.
**[01:46] ---**
    Kakashi is already leaving the team.
**[01:49] ---**
    Still…
**[01:51] ---**
    Um, excuse me.
**[01:56] ---**
    By "Kakashi," are you talking
    about Kakashi Hatake?
**[02:01] ---**
    Who are you?
**[02:03] ---**
    Kakashi and I were at
    the Academy together.
**[02:06] ---**
    Oh, so you're friends?
**[02:09] ---**
    No, I wouldn't call us "friends."
**[02:12] ---**
    He's pretty nasty, right?
**[02:14] ---**
    We can't complete a mission
    with a guy like that.
**[02:17] ---**
    Mission?
**[02:19] ---**
    *Oh, right… Kakashi is already*
    *going on missions.*
**[02:24] ---**
    Did something happen?
**[02:26] ---**
    That guy always prioritizes
    the mission over everything.
**[02:29] ---**
    Even if his teammate is hurt,
    or is left behind in enemy territory.
**[02:34] ---**
    There's no way
    we can work with him.
**[02:36] ---**
    If you ever have to
    team up with him, be careful.
**[02:44] ---**
    *Prioritizes...the mission?*
**[02:49] ---**
    *I'll save my friends,*
    *no matter what.*
**[02:51] ---**
    *That's my Ninja Way.*
**[02:54] ---**
    *Him? He'd do that?*
**[03:05] ---**
    Say, Rin…
    Do you see Kakashi these days?
**[03:08] ---**
    No, I only catch glimpses
    of him in town.
**[03:12] ---**
    I think he's away on missions
    most of the time.
**[03:17] ---**
    Why?
**[03:19] ---**
    I heard some rumors
    about Kakashi yesterday.
**[03:22] ---**
    They weren't good rumors.
**[03:25] ---**
    Last time I saw him,
    he seemed to have changed a lot too.
**[03:30] ---**
    Could it be something to do
    with his father?
**[03:35] ---**
    Do you know something?
**[03:37] ---**
    Well, no…
**[03:39] ---**
    Oh, I see.
**[03:42] ---**
    Okay, Obito. See you tomorrow!
**[03:45] ---**
    Yeah.
**[03:58] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[04:08] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[04:09] ---**
    How's it going?
**[04:14] ---**
    I've been hearing a lot about you.
**[04:16] ---**
    Looks like you've been
    seeing a lot of action.
**[04:24] ---**
    Hey, did something happen?
**[04:25] ---**
    If something's on your mind…
**[04:26] ---**
    I'm not so desperate that
    I need you to worry about me.
**[04:31] ---**
    Hey…you…
**[04:39] ---**
    Leave me alone.
**[04:47] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[05:20] ---**
    I found you, Obito!
**[05:24] ---**
    Rin!
**[05:29] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[05:32] ---**
    I just slipped.
**[05:34] ---**
    I'm okay. I'm okay.
**[05:36] ---**
    You're training in this rain?
**[05:40] ---**
    Yeah... I figured I have to try harder
    if I'm going to catch up to that guy.
**[05:45] ---**
    "That guy"?
**[05:46] ---**
    I mean, Kakashi.
**[05:47] ---**
    One day, I'll surprise him.
**[05:50] ---**
    Otherwise, I can't become
    the Hokage.
**[05:53] ---**
    Besides, he's already going
    on missions.
**[05:57] ---**
    I have to work harder or the gap
    between us will get bigger!
**[06:01] ---**
    That's the spirit!
    Go for it, Obito!
**[06:04] ---**
    Yeah!
**[06:12] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[06:17] ---**
    You wanted to see me?
**[06:18] ---**
    I want to ask you a favor.
**[06:22] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake is
    an extremely talented shinobi.
**[06:26] ---**
    However, he fusses too much
    about sticking to the rules
**[06:31] ---**
    and clashes with his superiors
    and teammates.
**[06:35] ---**
    He may excel in technique,
    but as a human, he has much to learn.
**[06:42] ---**
    His father broke the rules
    to protect his comrades,
**[06:45] ---**
    and then took his own life…
**[06:47] ---**
    His death has cast
    a shadow over Kakashi.
**[06:51] ---**
    And you want to place him
    under my supervision...
**[06:59] ---**
    *Oh no, oh no!*
**[07:01] ---**
    GRADUATION CEREMONY
    
**[07:10] ---**
    I can't believe you were late
**[07:11] ---**
    for both your entrance and
    graduation ceremonies!
**[07:15] ---**
    Graduation is over!
**[07:19] ---**
    But there was this old lady…
**[07:22] ---**
    You have an awfully high rate
    of encounters with old people, don't you?
**[07:25] ---**
    Lately…I've been getting ambushed
    by a lot of them.
**[07:29] ---**
    That sounds premeditated!
**[07:36] ---**
    Really…
**[07:39] ---**
    Come on…
**[07:40] ---**
    This way!
**[07:48] ---**
    Here is the graduation certificate
    for Obito Uchiha!
**[07:51] ---**
    "This certifies that
    you have graduated
**[07:53] ---**
    "from the Hidden Leaf Ninja Academy.
**[07:55] ---**
    "You are commended
    for persevering
**[07:58] ---**
    "through the rain and wind
    to reach this milestone!"
**[08:04] ---**
    Here! Congratulations!
**[08:09] ---**
    Rin…
**[08:14] ---**
    Thank you, Rin.
**[08:17] ---**
    No one's here to watch…
**[08:19] ---**
    But this makes me happier than
    receiving it from that old-man Hokage!
**[08:22] ---**
    We're genin now,
    so you have shape up.
**[08:26] ---**
    Yeah, I know.
**[08:28] ---**
    We'll now be part of a 3-man squad
    and go on missions, right?
**[08:32] ---**
    Have the teams already
    been announced?
**[08:35] ---**
    Yes, they have.
**[08:37] ---**
    So, are you and me…
**[08:43] ---**
    Well…
**[08:45] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[08:47] ---**
    we're on different…
**[08:49] ---**
    Unfortunately,
    we're on the same team!
**[08:51] ---**
    No way!
**[08:52] ---**
    Yup. I'm stuck looking
    after you again…
**[08:56] ---**
    Yes! Yes!
**[09:01] ---**
    And who's the third member?
**[09:04] ---**
    About that...
**[09:09] ---**
    You're late, Obito!
**[09:11] ---**
    You're finally here.
    You must be Obito.
**[09:14] ---**
    We've been waiting for you.
**[09:16] ---**
    Barely made it…
**[09:18] ---**
    You're really late.
**[09:20] ---**
    I'm Minato, your leader from today.
    Glad to meet you.
**[09:23] ---**
    Yeah!
**[09:25] ---**
    Anyway, let's have
    our first training session together.
**[09:28] ---**
    R-Right!
**[09:30] ---**
    In this session,
    I want to see your teamwork.
**[09:35] ---**
    Teamwork?
**[09:37] ---**
    And the exercise will be…this.
**[09:49] ---**
    You all pass!
**[09:51] ---**
    All right...
**[09:52] ---**
    We'll start our first mission tomorrow.
**[09:54] ---**
    That's more like it!
**[09:56] ---**
    I'll show what I've got
    in a real battle!
**[09:58] ---**
    Actually, this first mission
    is inside the village.
**[10:02] ---**
    Like finding a lost pet
    or a lost item.
**[10:06] ---**
    Those are just odd jobs!
**[10:09] ---**
    A mission is a mission.
**[10:12] ---**
    If you succeed, then I'll assign
    more important missions.
**[10:17] ---**
    Kakashi, you've been on
    many missions already
**[10:19] ---**
    and this may seem boring,
**[10:22] ---**
    but do your best anyway.
**[10:26] ---**
    Okay! Kakashi, I challenge you!
**[10:29] ---**
    Let's see who can
    complete more missions.
**[10:32] ---**
    That's stupid. Do as you please.
**[10:35] ---**
    You chicken?
**[10:36] ---**
    What did you say?
**[10:41] ---**
    It's not here.
**[10:45] ---**
    It's not here.
**[10:49] ---**
    Found it?
**[10:50] ---**
    No.
**[10:51] ---**
    It's not here either.
**[10:53] ---**
    Looking for a lost pet
    isn't easy, is it?
**[10:56] ---**
    But if we can't succeed
    at something like this,
**[10:59] ---**
    our team will never be sent
    on real missions.
**[11:04] ---**
    By the way, where's Obito?
**[11:06] ---**
    He was determined to
    do everything alone,
**[11:09] ---**
    and went off somewhere.
**[11:12] ---**
    Is he serious about beating me?
**[11:31] ---**
    Oh, Obito…
**[11:34] ---**
    That cat was on the rooftop
    up ahead basking in the sun.
**[11:38] ---**
    Obito, I saw that thing
    on a park bench.
**[11:43] ---**
    Oh right, by the way,
**[11:45] ---**
    I have some yummy sweets
    you can take with you.
**[11:53] ---**
    Finding a lost pet, and a lost item!
**[11:55] ---**
    Solved them both,
    thanks to the grannies.
**[11:58] ---**
    And I even got treats!
**[12:00] ---**
    You're so popular
    with the old ladies, Obito.
**[12:03] ---**
    You really weren't lying
    all those times were you late.
**[12:07] ---**
    "One good deed deserves another."
**[12:10] ---**
    This time, Obito's kindness
    was returned.
**[12:14] ---**
    How's that, Kakashi?!
**[12:25] ---**
    All the odd jobs in the village
    were taken care of in one day.
**[12:30] ---**
    Right? It's because I'm the man
    who will become the Hokage!
**[12:34] ---**
    This is nothing!
**[12:36] ---**
    Lord Hokage, I believe this team
    is far more skilled than we thought.
**[12:43] ---**
    You're right. Kakashi already
    has lots of field experience.
**[12:49] ---**
    Perhaps I shall send them along
    with you on your mission tomorrow.
**[12:53] ---**
    On Minato Sensei's mission?!
**[12:55] ---**
    Is this a real mission?!
**[12:57] ---**
    Yes. And the client specifically
    requested Minato.
**[13:01] ---**
    It's a C-rank mission.
**[13:03] ---**
    Although the risk is low,
**[13:05] ---**
    I'd be lying if I said
    there's absolutely none.
**[13:08] ---**
    I was planning to assign you
    to more odd jobs in the village
**[13:12] ---**
    while Minato was away.
**[13:15] ---**
    But there are no more requests.
**[13:18] ---**
    And, I can't let you just
    wait around.
**[13:22] ---**
    Yes!
**[13:23] ---**
    This means we're going
    on our first real mission.
**[13:27] ---**
    Okay then…
**[13:29] ---**
    I'm counting on you all from tomorrow.
**[13:31] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[13:35] ---**
    Well, Kakashi?!
**[13:37] ---**
    You should be grateful to me.
**[13:39] ---**
    I'm the only reason why
    there are no more odd jobs to do.
**[13:45] ---**
    Kakashi, don't get upset with Obito.
**[13:49] ---**
    Obito's been worried about you
    for a long time.
**[13:53] ---**
    He thinks you've changed…
**[13:56] ---**
    W-What're you saying, Rin?!
**[13:58] ---**
    Well, it's true.
**[14:00] ---**
    And you always said that
    Kakashi was better than you…
**[14:04] ---**
    So you trained hard to catch up!
**[14:09] ---**
    Did not! I never said that!
**[14:10] ---**
    You're imagining things!
**[14:14] ---**
    Come on, let's all shake hands.
**[14:17] ---**
    We're on the same team now.
**[14:19] ---**
    I'm not shaking hands with this guy!
**[14:22] ---**
    Really…
**[14:24] ---**
    You're both hopeless!
**[14:29] ---**
    Then…
**[14:31] ---**
    I'll connect the both of you.
**[14:38] ---**
    Okay guys, for this mission,
**[14:40] ---**
    we will be escorting shinobi
    from another village.
**[14:43] ---**
    One of them is carrying
    a secret missive.
**[14:45] ---**
    CONFIDENTIAL
    
    Namely, that's what we are guarding.
**[14:48] ---**
    There will also be three other escorts
    from the requesting village.
**[14:52] ---**
    If fighting breaks out…
**[14:54] ---**
    First and foremost, I want you three
    to make sure you're safe.
**[14:58] ---**
    Understood?
**[15:00] ---**
    All right!
**[15:01] ---**
    I'm gonna show my stuff big-time
    and make it to Hokage!
**[15:05] ---**
    It's not going to be that easy.
**[15:08] ---**
    Obito, were you even listening
    to Minato Sensei?
**[15:12] ---**
    We are not to engage in
    any kind of battle.
**[15:15] ---**
    Besides, we'd only get
    in Minato Sensei's way.
**[15:19] ---**
    Is he really that amazing?
**[15:22] ---**
    Haven't you ever heard of
    the Yellow Flash of the Leaf?
**[15:24] ---**
    I have.
**[15:26] ---**
    He's an incredible shinobi whose fame
    has spread to other villages too.
**[15:31] ---**
    And he's our teacher,
    Minato Namikaze,
**[15:32] ---**
    the man touted to become
    the next Hokage.
**[15:35] ---**
    Seriously?! Someone that great
    is teaching us?
**[15:39] ---**
    I feel my blood rushing!
**[15:41] ---**
    Man, I wish someone
    would attack us.
**[15:44] ---**
    Jeez…
**[15:46] ---**
    Hey, I wonder who's stronger,
**[15:48] ---**
    the Yellow Flash of the Leaf
    or the White Fang of the Leaf?
**[15:53] ---**
    O-Obito!
**[15:56] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf had a hero
    named the White Fang.
**[16:01] ---**
    But I heard he died
    protecting the village.
**[16:04] ---**
    Haven't you heard of him?
**[16:05] ---**
    No, I haven't.
**[16:07] ---**
    Kakashi?
**[16:09] ---**
    What's with him?
**[16:17] ---**
    *This is strange.*
**[16:21] ---**
    *We're surrounded…*
**[16:22] ---**
    *There are quite a few of them.*
**[16:24] ---**
    *What's going on?*
**[16:26] ---**
    *This is far more dangerous than*
    *the rank assigned to this mission.*
**[16:30] ---**
    *I have to stop them here*
    *before I'm completely surrounded.*
**[16:34] ---**
    *Bringing along the team*
    *might have been a mistake.*
**[16:38] ---**
    *Who can I depend on?*
**[16:41] ---**
    *He can guard one person.*
**[16:43] ---**
    *I'll have to guard the other one.*
**[16:48] ---**
    Everyone, listen up.
**[16:51] ---**
    What is it, Sensei?
**[16:53] ---**
    Looks like the enemy is on our tail.
**[16:56] ---**
    Seriously?! We're gonna fight?!
**[16:57] ---**
    Obito! This is not a game!
**[16:59] ---**
    Uh, yes sir...
**[17:02] ---**
    There are quite a few of them.
**[17:04] ---**
    Obito and I will track back
    to confront them.
**[17:08] ---**
    In the meantime, Kakashi
    and Rin will complete the mission.
**[17:12] ---**
    It's imperative that you two escape.
**[17:14] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[17:16] ---**
    All right… Let's go, Obito!
**[17:17] ---**
    Roger!
**[17:22] ---**
    Oh man, Minato Sensei!
**[17:24] ---**
    To have you pick me
    instead of Kakashi...
**[17:28] ---**
    This just means you depend on me!
**[17:31] ---**
    Obito, we're going to lure
    the enemy without a fight
**[17:34] ---**
    and separate them
    from the main group.
**[17:36] ---**
    I know that!
**[17:41] ---**
    Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
**[17:48] ---**
    Oh, not bad.
**[17:50] ---**
    I wasn't kidding about
    practicing every day!
**[17:53] ---**
    I'll take down
    every single one of them!
**[17:55] ---**
    Don't get carried away!
    I said no fighting!
**[18:00] ---**
    Obito!
**[18:04] ---**
    You're in the way!
**[18:13] ---**
    *He's strong!*
**[18:14] ---**
    You're just a kid!
**[18:15] ---**
    You can't beat me with that!
**[18:17] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[18:19] ---**
    *I'm not going to lose here!*
**[18:22] ---**
    *I'm…*
**[18:26] ---**
    …gonna become the Hokage!
**[18:30] ---**
    *I did it!*
**[18:35] ---**
    A shadow clone?!
**[18:41] ---**
    You're mine!
**[18:43] ---**
    Not good!
**[18:54] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[18:56] ---**
    Minato Sensei!
**[19:07] ---**
    *This is not good…*
**[19:15] ---**
    They're here.
**[19:16] ---**
    Rin! Go on ahead!
**[19:18] ---**
    Got it.
**[19:27] ---**
    Damn—!
**[19:34] ---**
    Kakashi! We have to save him!
**[19:36] ---**
    Minato Sensei is still
    nearby right now!
**[19:38] ---**
    If we turn back and let him know…
**[19:40] ---**
    No! A shinobi's duty is to
    carry out his mission!
**[19:43] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[19:44] ---**
    Run! Getting away is imperative!
**[19:46] ---**
    Once we're in the forest,
    the village will be near!
**[19:49] ---**
    They won't pursue us that far!
**[19:51] ---**
    Understood!
**[20:02] ---**
    We've come this far.
    We should be safe.
**[20:05] ---**
    What about Obito?
**[20:06] ---**
    Sensei is with him.
    I'm sure they're fine.
**[20:10] ---**
    Thank you.
**[20:11] ---**
    I must hand it to
    the Yellow Flash's team.
**[20:14] ---**
    Thanks to you, the secret missive
    will be delivered safely.
**[20:18] ---**
    Don't mention it.
**[20:19] ---**
    Unfortunately, one man had
    to be sacrificed.
**[20:23] ---**
    That could not be helped.
**[20:25] ---**
    However…he won't be…
**[20:28] ---**
    the only sacrifice!
**[20:31] ---**
    What the—?!
**[20:35] ---**
    What's going on?
**[20:38] ---**
    S-So you're…the traitors!
**[20:45] ---**
    Since you were just so focused
    on completing the mission,
**[20:49] ---**
    you made our mission easy.
**[20:51] ---**
    Even someone like the Yellow Flash
    can't span this distance quickly.
**[20:55] ---**
    Sorry, but you're going
    to have to die too.
**[20:59] ---**
    No way…
**[22:37] ---**
    Kakashi, you didn't...
    
    
**[22:38] ---**
    You didn't leave someone
    to die, did you?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I only prioritized the mission.
    I followed the rules.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    But the result of doing that,
    is all this!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Stop, Obito.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    What happened is something
    that could not be foreseen.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    It's not Kakashi's fault.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Damn it. I'm going.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Where are you going?
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "You'll Be My Backup"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Isn't it obvious?! I'm going
    to go save those guys!
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    YOU'LL BE MY BACKUP
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *You'll Be My Backup*
    
    
**[01:38] ---**
    Rin, get out of here!
**[01:39] ---**
    But…!
**[01:39] ---**
    You're going to get in my way!
**[01:42] ---**
    Earth Style!
**[01:46] ---**
    Mud Wall!
**[01:52] ---**
    Damn, they got away!
**[01:58] ---**
    Wha—?!
**[01:58] ---**
    From inside the Earth Style?!
**[02:06] ---**
    Rin!
**[02:08] ---**
    I'll start treatment immediately!
**[02:11] ---**
    What happened, Kakashi?!
**[02:13] ---**
    Minato Sensei!
**[02:14] ---**
    Obito…
**[02:16] ---**
    Kakashi? Rin?
**[02:18] ---**
    What am I doing here?
**[02:20] ---**
    I'll explain later.
**[02:21] ---**
    First, Kakashi…
**[02:23] ---**
    What happened here?
**[02:25] ---**
    We escorted them safely to this point,
**[02:29] ---**
    but the other two were traitors…
**[02:30] ---**
    Two of them?
**[02:32] ---**
    Please, I'm not going to make it.
**[02:39] ---**
    The contents of the secret missive…
**[02:45] ---**
    But we can't look at its contents…
**[02:50] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[02:51] ---**
    Please, just confirm that
    it's the real one.
**[03:03] ---**
    What does this mean?
**[03:06] ---**
    My superior told me that
**[03:08] ---**
    another teammate and I would
    both be handed secret missives.
**[03:15] ---**
    And only one of them would
    be the real one.
**[03:18] ---**
    Why?!
**[03:19] ---**
    There was intel that there could be
    a traitor among us.
**[03:25] ---**
    So who has the real missive?
**[03:27] ---**
    If the traitor had it,
    he wouldn't have attacked me.
**[03:31] ---**
    So…
**[03:38] ---**
    It was him.
**[03:40] ---**
    Kakashi, where's the other guy?
**[03:42] ---**
    Well, on our way here…
**[03:45] ---**
    Please, you must get
    the secret missive!
**[03:55] ---**
    There's nothing I can do.
**[04:00] ---**
    Damn it, did they hear us?
**[04:01] ---**
    Kakashi.
**[04:04] ---**
    You didn't leave someone
    to die, did you?
**[04:06] ---**
    I only prioritized the mission.
**[04:10] ---**
    I followed the rules.
**[04:11] ---**
    The rules?
**[04:14] ---**
    Those who don't follow
    the rules are scum.
**[04:16] ---**
    But look at the result!
**[04:19] ---**
    If you hadn't turned your back
    on your comrade,
**[04:21] ---**
    this wouldn't have happened!
**[04:22] ---**
    Stop, Obito!
**[04:24] ---**
    This was an unexpected incident.
**[04:27] ---**
    Kakashi is not to blame.
**[04:29] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:31] ---**
    I'm going!
**[04:32] ---**
    Go where?
**[04:33] ---**
    Isn't it obvious?!
**[04:34] ---**
    I'm going to save that guy!
**[04:36] ---**
    But he's right in
    the unexpected incident.
**[04:38] ---**
    He's right. It's too dangerous.
**[04:41] ---**
    I'm not about to fail
    my first mission!
**[04:45] ---**
    We didn't fail.
**[04:46] ---**
    This was an unforeseen occurrence!
**[04:48] ---**
    Kakashi, for an honor student,
    you're pretty dumb.
**[04:53] ---**
    What did you say?
**[04:54] ---**
    Think about it.
**[04:55] ---**
    The four guys we were supposed
    to guard have all disappeared.
**[04:59] ---**
    Who's gonna support our claim
    that this was all unexpected?
**[05:05] ---**
    If the village who requested
    this mission
**[05:07] ---**
    pretends to not have known
    about the traitors…
**[05:10] ---**
    Minato Sensei will be forced
    to take responsibility!
**[05:12] ---**
    Never mind me.
**[05:15] ---**
    Our mission is over, Obito.
**[05:17] ---**
    All I want to say is…
**[05:19] ---**
    Sensei, you can keep dragging me
    back to the village,
**[05:22] ---**
    but I won't give up searching
    for the guy.
**[05:26] ---**
    I never turn my back
    on a comrade!
**[05:29] ---**
    – Obito!
    – Obito!
**[05:31] ---**
    Damn it.
**[05:34] ---**
    I guess it's useless to try
    and stop you.
**[05:37] ---**
    Then I'll go back to where he fell.
**[05:39] ---**
    Kakashi, you check downstream.
**[05:41] ---**
    And Obito, check beyond that.
**[05:43] ---**
    Rin, you go with Kakashi.
**[05:45] ---**
    Right!
**[05:45] ---**
    Listen up. Report to me
    the minute you find him.
**[06:12] ---**
    He's here!
**[06:17] ---**
    We found him.
**[06:23] ---**
    Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
**[06:31] ---**
    *There are too many enemies.*
**[06:42] ---**
    Lighting Style! Chidori!
**[06:48] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[06:52] ---**
    Rin! Take care of him!
**[06:53] ---**
    Got it!
**[06:55] ---**
    Let's get away from here.
**[06:56] ---**
    Wait!
**[06:57] ---**
    The scroll!
**[07:05] ---**
    Withdraw!
**[07:09] ---**
    Obito! Rin!
    Guard him!
**[07:11] ---**
    What about you, Kakashi?!
**[07:13] ---**
    I'm getting the scroll back!
**[07:15] ---**
    That's reckless!
    You saw how many there were!
**[07:17] ---**
    I won't let you complain!
**[07:18] ---**
    If saving him is your Ninja Way,
    completing the mission is mine.
**[07:24] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[07:25] ---**
    Obito, we have to contact
    Minato Sensei!
**[07:27] ---**
    Yeah!
**[07:32] ---**
    Obito!
**[07:39] ---**
    You bastard, do think you can
    take us all on by yourself?
**[07:43] ---**
    I will complete my mission.
**[07:47] ---**
    Kill him.
**[07:48] ---**
    Obito! Did you find him?
**[07:50] ---**
    Kakashi went after the enemy
    to get the scroll back!
**[07:54] ---**
    Kakashi did what?
**[07:56] ---**
    I hope I make it in time!
**[08:08] ---**
    Come on!
**[08:13] ---**
    Don't let him…get away!
**[08:24] ---**
    Rasen-Flash Super-Circle
    Dance Howl Stage Three!
**[08:33] ---**
    Minato Sensei.
**[08:39] ---**
    So, were you able to uphold
    the principles you believe in?
**[08:47] ---**
    This completes the mission.
**[08:53] ---**
    Yes…
**[08:55] ---**
    Thank you for saving my life.
**[09:01] ---**
    The Yellow Flash of the Leaf…
    I hope we meet again someday.
**[09:04] ---**
    All right then, let's go everyone.
**[09:12] ---**
    Sensei, missions are
    really difficult, aren't they?
**[09:16] ---**
    You're right.
**[09:17] ---**
    Things don't always go
    the way you envision them.
**[09:19] ---**
    But I'm glad the secret missive
    was delivered safely.
**[09:24] ---**
    Yes…
**[09:25] ---**
    So we successfully
    completed the mission.
**[09:28] ---**
    Probably.
**[09:29] ---**
    "Probably"? What do you mean?
**[09:33] ---**
    Back there, he said…
**[09:35] ---**
    *Thank you for saving my life.*
**[09:38] ---**
    If the mission was successful,
**[09:40] ---**
    he would be more concerned
    about the secret missive
**[09:42] ---**
    and not his life.
**[09:43] ---**
    What do you mean?!
**[09:46] ---**
    The missive he had
    was also a fake.
**[09:50] ---**
    We were probably decoys.
**[09:52] ---**
    Another team delivered
    the real missive.
**[09:56] ---**
    That's the real reason
    they requested Minato Sensei
**[09:58] ---**
    for a C-rank mission.
**[10:01] ---**
    With Minato Sensei as the escort,
**[10:04] ---**
    it would seem that we were
    really guarding the real thing.
**[10:07] ---**
    When did you figure that out?
**[10:10] ---**
    I thought it was a possibility
**[10:12] ---**
    when we discovered
    the first missive was a fake.
**[10:14] ---**
    And you risked your life
    to go after a missive
**[10:17] ---**
    that could have been a fake?
**[10:18] ---**
    That was the mission.
**[10:20] ---**
    That's my Ninja Way.
**[10:26] ---**
    I thought I understood
    a little about you.
**[10:29] ---**
    But I didn't understand a thing…
**[10:33] ---**
    I finally understood…
**[10:35] ---**
    on our last mission together.
**[10:46] ---**
    Kakashi is the son of
    the genius Ninja, Sakumo Hatake,
**[10:49] ---**
    feared as the "White Fang"
    of the Leaf.
**[10:53] ---**
    The White Fang?
**[10:55] ---**
    Then that incident?
**[10:58] ---**
    But…
**[10:59] ---**
    Kakashi's never said
    a word about him.
**[11:05] ---**
    He was a great man…
**[11:07] ---**
    Someone respected by everyone
    in the village,
**[11:08] ---**
    and naturally, by Kakashi himself.
**[11:12] ---**
    That is, until that incident…
**[11:15] ---**
    Incident?
**[11:17] ---**
    Perhaps, I shouldn't be telling you
    something like this…
**[11:21] ---**
    But since you're on
    the same team as Kakashi,
**[11:23] ---**
    I want you to know.
**[11:26] ---**
    What happened?
**[11:28] ---**
    Kakashi's father, Sakumo,
    took his own life after being slandered.
**[11:37] ---**
    Five years ago,
**[11:38] ---**
    he was the leader of a top-secret mission
    to infiltrate enemy territory.
**[11:42] ---**
    He was forced to make a choice.
**[11:45] ---**
    To execute the mission
    or save his comrades' lives…
**[11:50] ---**
    Of course, according to
    the rules of the village,
**[11:53] ---**
    completing the mission
    was the right thing to do.
**[11:55] ---**
    However, in order to save
    the lives of his comrades,
**[11:57] ---**
    he suspended the mission.
**[11:59] ---**
    That resulted in grave losses
    to the Land of Fire and the village,
**[12:03] ---**
    and he was blamed for it.
**[12:06] ---**
    What's more, the very comrades
    he saved also criticized him.
**[12:12] ---**
    The whole ordeal took its toll on
    Sakumo, both physically and mentally.
**[12:16] ---**
    And finally, he took his own life.
**[12:25] ---**
    From then on, Kakashi never uttered
    a word about his father,
**[12:30] ---**
    and he strictly began to adhere
    to every rule and regulation.
**[12:39] ---**
    Obito… Try to understand,
    even if it's just a little.
**[12:44] ---**
    Kakashi means well.
**[12:56] ---**
    *Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!*
**[13:20] ---**
    We're taking this one.
**[13:23] ---**
    Wait!
**[13:26] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:28] ---**
    Obito, don't go after them!
**[13:35] ---**
    What did you say?
**[13:37] ---**
    The two of us will continue
    this mission.
**[13:40] ---**
    Do you realize what you just said?!
**[13:43] ---**
    Yeah…
**[13:47] ---**
    A shinobi must sacrifice a comrade
    if the mission is at stake.
**[13:51] ---**
    That's the rule.
**[13:54] ---**
    You're willing to simply abandon
    a comrade
**[13:56] ---**
    who's been through
    life and death with you,
**[13:58] ---**
    for something like that?!
**[14:11] ---**
    You don't understand anything…
**[14:15] ---**
    about what happens to people
    who break the rules.
**[14:20] ---**
    I believe the White Fang
    was a true hero.
**[14:26] ---**
    It's true. In the Shinobi World,
**[14:29] ---**
    someone who breaks the rules
    and regulations is regarded as scum…
**[14:34] ---**
    But…
**[14:36] ---**
    those who abandon their comrades
    are worse than scum!
**[14:55] ---**
    *I found them…*
**[15:09] ---**
    Kakashi… Why are you—?!
**[15:13] ---**
    That silver-white hair and
    White Chakra Blade!
**[15:17] ---**
    Don't tell me you're…
    the "White Fang" of the Leaf?!
**[15:21] ---**
    This is a memento of my father's.
**[15:23] ---**
    I see. You're the White Fang's kid.
**[15:27] ---**
    Then there's no need
    to be afraid of you.
**[15:32] ---**
    Where is he?
**[15:34] ---**
    Obito, behind you!
**[15:40] ---**
    My eye!
**[15:43] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[15:49] ---**
    A shinobi shouldn't cry…
**[15:51] ---**
    I'm not dead yet.
**[15:54] ---**
    Don't lose focus.
**[15:56] ---**
    *I'm always just talk…*
**[15:58] ---**
    *Other people are always saving me…*
**[16:02] ---**
    *But…*
**[16:05] ---**
    *Those who abandon their comrades*
    *are worse than scum!*
**[16:09] ---**
    *I don't want them*
    *to be empty words.*
**[16:17] ---**
    *Die!*
**[16:23] ---**
    H-How?
**[16:25] ---**
    There's no way you can see me!
**[16:28] ---**
    Obito…You—!
**[16:34] ---**
    W-What is that eye?
**[16:55] ---**
    This time, I'll take point and
    you'll be my backup, Kakashi.
**[17:01] ---**
    It's been a while since
    we were a two-man squad.
**[17:04] ---**
    Don't stumble, Obito.
**[17:05] ---**
    Are you prepared for this?
**[17:07] ---**
    Yeah…
**[17:08] ---**
    I'm glad my final op will
    have been with you.
**[17:12] ---**
    Obito…Kakashi.
**[17:16] ---**
    Obito, I'm taking back everything
    I loaned you.
**[17:20] ---**
    Especially that left eye…
**[17:23] ---**
    Are you worried, Madara?
**[17:26] ---**
    You told me once that
    only with both together
**[17:28] ---**
    could the Sharingan's true power
    be unleashed.
**[17:31] ---**
    And so…
**[17:33] ---**
    You're wrong. Those are Rinnegan,
    not just Sharingan.
**[17:37] ---**
    You're wrong.
**[17:40] ---**
    I was talking about these eyes.
**[17:45] ---**
    We're finally all together!
**[17:47] ---**
    You're late again!
**[17:49] ---**
    A lot happened on my way here
    and I got lost…
**[17:53] ---**
    How come every path
    you take is a roundabout route?
**[17:57] ---**
    Just walk a straight line!
**[17:58] ---**
    I told you, a lot of stuff happened
    along the way!
**[18:02] ---**
    A shinobi must follow the rules!
**[18:04] ---**
    Your carelessness could end up
    putting your comrades in danger!
**[18:08] ---**
    Then I'll just protect you guys!
**[18:11] ---**
    Instead of obeying the rules!
**[18:12] ---**
    Do you know what
    you're even saying?!
**[18:13] ---**
    Eyes speak louder than words!
**[18:15] ---**
    Once my Sharingan are awakened,
    they won't be silent!
**[18:18] ---**
    Your Sharingan won't amount
    to anything!
**[18:21] ---**
    Besides, they're not awakened yet,
    so shut up!
**[18:23] ---**
    You shut up!
**[18:24] ---**
    Obviously, you must talk too much
**[18:27] ---**
    since you have to keep
    your mouth covered with a mask!
**[18:28] ---**
    So you shut up!
**[18:29] ---**
    They're not falling into line
    at all, are they?
**[18:32] ---**
    That's for sure.
**[18:34] ---**
    But you know, Sensei…
**[18:36] ---**
    I challenge you, Kakashi!
**[18:37] ---**
    Not you again, Beast Face!
**[18:39] ---**
    Leave us alone!
**[18:40] ---**
    How did I end up with
    classmates like these?
**[18:44] ---**
    *In order to resurrect Naruto,*
**[18:46] ---**
    *they need the Rinnegan*
    *and the Nine Tails.*
**[18:48] ---**
    *Obito has them both,*
**[18:50] ---**
    *so as long as I don't allow him*
    *to teleport away to his time-space…*
**[18:53] ---**
    *And I've already discovered*
**[18:55] ---**
    *that my attacks are faster than*
    *their Kamui's transfer speed.*
**[19:01] ---**
    *There's no doubt one of them*
    *will try to distract me*
**[19:06] ---**
    *while the other performs the Kamui.*
**[19:09] ---**
    *Obito will teleport himself or*
    *have Kakashi teleport him.*
**[19:14] ---**
    *This time, I'll take point and*
    *you'll be my backup, Kakashi.*
**[19:19] ---**
    *Whatever they decide,*
    *I'll be able to stop Obito again.*
**[19:25] ---**
    *I should keep it fast and*
    *simple with Limbo…*
**[19:27] ---**
    *No… I shouldn't use that as long as*
    *Obito still has the Rinnegan.*
**[19:33] ---**
    *Then I'll attack them*
    *both simultaneously!*
**[19:41] ---**
    *But you know, Sensei…*
**[19:43] ---**
    *Let me handle this.*
**[19:45] ---**
    *I'll make the two of them—!*
**[19:47] ---**
    *Let's go…you guys!*
**[19:53] ---**
    Kamui!
**[20:01] ---**
    *They both released their Kamui*
    *at the same time!*
**[20:04] ---**
    *And doubled the speed of the jutsu!*
**[20:08] ---**
    Obito!
**[20:09] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[20:12] ---**
    I'm here to help Naruto…
**[20:15] ---**
    Can I trust you?
**[20:17] ---**
    Ever since I was a kid,
**[20:18] ---**
    I've never been able to walk
    a straight path.
**[20:23] ---**
    But I've finally gotten to
    where I needed to go.
**[20:39] ---**
    You actually had
    perfect timing for once.
**[20:43] ---**
    *Thanks for saving Kakashi…*
**[20:45] ---**
    *Guy!*
**[20:46] ---**
    Are you all right, Kakashi?!
**[20:51] ---**
    I've seen you before.
**[20:55] ---**
    Who is that?
**[22:36] ---**
    You maybe reinforcements,
    but you're nothing more than pebbles.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    You won't make any difference
    at this point.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    That's Madara?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Only Senjutsu works against him…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    and one more thing: physical attacks
    such as Taijutsu.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    So, it's show time for
    the wild blue beast, eh?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Blue Beast vs. Six Paths Madara"

    Eight Inner Gates!

    Seventh Gate of Shock! Open!

    SIX PATHS MADARA

**[00:20] ---**
    There's someone else
    where Sasuke is.
**[00:23] ---**
    Do you recognize the chakra?
**[00:26] ---**
    No!
**[00:27] ---**
    But…
**[00:29] ---**
    But what?
**[00:32] ---**
    This chakra…
**[00:35] ---**
    …has a real nasty feel to it!
**[00:39] ---**
    Then we need to hurry even more.
**[00:41] ---**
    We don't know what
    this stranger might do
**[00:44] ---**
    to Sasuke.
**[00:50] ---**
    *Is this the end for him?*
**[00:57] ---**
    *Damn it…*
**[01:01] ---**
    Karin!
**[01:02] ---**
    If you up the pace too much,
    you're going to collapse soon.
**[01:07] ---**
    Let's head to the others with
    youth power to the max!
**[01:11] ---**
    Lee! Tenten!
**[02:43] ---**
    *The Blue Beast vs. Six Paths Madara*
    
    
**[02:47] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[02:52] ---**
    Who is that guy?!
**[02:55] ---**
    Hey you!
**[02:56] ---**
    I don't know who the hell you are,
    but what are you doing to Sasuke?
**[03:03] ---**
    Oh, so that's what's going on…
**[03:05] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:07] ---**
    So it was you…
**[03:09] ---**
    …Kabuto.
**[03:11] ---**
    I sensed a group rushing this way…
**[03:15] ---**
    It was you, after all, Lord Orochimaru.
**[03:18] ---**
    That's Kabuto?!
**[03:19] ---**
    His chakra is different!
**[03:21] ---**
    Even his appearance.
**[03:23] ---**
    He has taken in the chakra
    of many people,
**[03:26] ---**
    even Sage Jutsu chakra.
**[03:29] ---**
    It's no wonder even you thought
    he was someone else, Karin…
**[03:33] ---**
    I wonder if his chakra
    had a nasty feel to it
**[03:36] ---**
    because he still has
    some of mine inside him?
**[03:40] ---**
    – Or…
    – Get away from Sasuke, you brainy jerk!
**[03:44] ---**
    What brings you here, Lord Orochimaru?
**[03:49] ---**
    I should ask you the same thing.
**[03:51] ---**
    *What are you planning, Orochimaru?*
**[03:54] ---**
    Mister Kabuto…
**[03:56] ---**
    Don't tell me you're going
    to absorb Sasuke?
**[03:59] ---**
    And would that make you
    Kabuke or Sasuto?
**[04:11] ---**
    You're the one who
    did this to Sasuke?!
**[04:14] ---**
    You bastard!
**[04:17] ---**
    Suigetsu… I don't desire to
    do that anymore.
**[04:21] ---**
    Nor am I going to steal Sasuke, Karin.
**[04:26] ---**
    *Sasuke's chakra!*
**[04:28] ---**
    *I can faintly sense it!*
**[04:30] ---**
    *No way!*
**[04:32] ---**
    Kabuto… You're helping Sasuke?
**[04:36] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:37] ---**
    With my Medical ninjutsu and
    much-tinkered cells of Hashirama,
**[04:42] ---**
    along with a certain
    someone's suggestion,
**[04:44] ---**
    I managed to stop him from dying.
**[04:47] ---**
    He's right.
**[04:49] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:50] ---**
    Well, well…
**[04:51] ---**
    if it isn't the man I most respect…
**[04:56] ---**
    the Second Hokage,
    Lord Tobirama Senju.
**[04:58] ---**
    However, Kabuto…
**[05:01] ---**
    You being here means that
**[05:03] ---**
    you were able to slip out of the infinite loop
    set up by Itachi's Izanami?
**[05:11] ---**
    You're right.
**[05:13] ---**
    I was unable to acknowledge myself,
    I didn't even know who I was.
**[05:18] ---**
    That allowed you to give me
    easy answers and use me.
**[05:21] ---**
    Making me lose myself even more.
**[05:41] ---**
    *If you're not satisfied with*
    *what you've had so far…*
**[05:45] ---**
    *Just find other things and*
    *add them onto yourself…*
**[05:48] ---**
    *one by one.*
**[05:56] ---**
    *It's still…*
**[05:58] ---**
    *It's still not enough…*
**[06:01] ---**
    *This is…still not me!*
**[06:06] ---**
    But with that jutsu,
    Itachi made me realize…
**[06:10] ---**
    that I am none other…than Kabuto…
**[06:14] ---**
    …and where my home is.
**[06:20] ---**
    Does it seem like the person inside
**[06:21] ---**
    has changed too?
**[06:24] ---**
    That is the jutsu known as Izanami.
**[06:27] ---**
    The jutsu is set up so that
    you cannot undo it
**[06:30] ---**
    until you reflect upon yourself
    and accept who you are.
**[06:35] ---**
    Sasuke...
**[06:38] ---**
    Now I wish from the bottom of my heart
**[06:42] ---**
    to not lose my home.
**[06:45] ---**
    And Itachi, who wanted to
    protect Sasuke even unto death…
**[06:48] ---**
    His feelings have pierced
    through my heart strongly.
**[06:52] ---**
    Hey!
**[06:54] ---**
    Isn't it a little too late
    to say things like that?
**[06:55] ---**
    You teamed up with that fake Madara!
**[06:58] ---**
    You guys started this war!
**[07:06] ---**
    You're right.
**[07:08] ---**
    Both Obito and I…
**[07:09] ---**
    …thought we'd lost our place in this world.
**[07:13] ---**
    And dragged everyone else into this.
**[07:15] ---**
    But, I now know who I am.
**[07:18] ---**
    And what I must do!
**[07:26] ---**
    You may be reinforcements,
    but you're nothing more than pebbles.
**[07:30] ---**
    You won't make any difference
    at this point.
**[07:33] ---**
    That's Madara?!
**[07:35] ---**
    Yes, that's him.
**[07:38] ---**
    Kakashi, are you all right?
**[07:40] ---**
    Yes, thanks to Guy.
**[07:42] ---**
    I don't mean that.
**[07:44] ---**
    I'm talking about my Sage Art
    Rasengan hitting you earlier.
**[07:47] ---**
    That was okay too.
**[07:50] ---**
    I diverted it with my Kamui
**[07:52] ---**
    just as it was making contact.
**[07:54] ---**
    *Kamui!*
**[07:59] ---**
    I'm glad…
**[08:00] ---**
    Sage Art?
**[08:01] ---**
    You mean, senjutsu?
**[08:03] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:04] ---**
    Only senjutsu works against him…
**[08:07] ---**
    As well as…
**[08:08] ---**
    physical attacks such as taijutsu.
**[08:11] ---**
    Which means our only hope is
    the Fourth Hokage's senjutsu
**[08:14] ---**
    and your taijutsu, Guy.
**[08:22] ---**
    If I recall, Sensei,
**[08:24] ---**
    senjutsu isn't your forte…
**[08:26] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:27] ---**
    In all honesty, I'm weak in senjutsu.
**[08:30] ---**
    It takes me too long to infuse the chakra
**[08:33] ---**
    and I can't maintain it very long.
**[08:34] ---**
    I haven't used it very much
    in combat either.
**[08:37] ---**
    Furthermore, in this state,
    I can't weave signs,
**[08:41] ---**
    so I don't think
    I can even fight effectively.
**[08:51] ---**
    So, it's showtime
**[08:53] ---**
    for the wild blue beast, eh?
**[08:58] ---**
    Eight Inner Gates!
**[09:00] ---**
    Seventh Gate of Shock!
**[09:02] ---**
    Open!
**[09:05] ---**
    *Blue vapor?*
**[09:10] ---**
    Guy!
**[09:13] ---**
    Eight Inner Gates…
**[09:14] ---**
    One gate before the Gate of Death…
**[09:17] ---**
    He insults me,
**[09:19] ---**
    not bringing out the Red Vapor.
**[09:26] ---**
    Don't let the black spheres
    or rod touch you!
**[09:35] ---**
    Who could've imagined Guy
    mastering the Eight Gates!
**[09:38] ---**
    Those are not human movements!
**[09:40] ---**
    *Take this!*
**[09:43] ---**
    Hirudora! Afternoon Tiger!
**[10:07] ---**
    *I have to use*
    *the Flying Raijin once more*
**[10:09] ---**
    *to throw myself into*
    *the Black Sphere's path!*
**[10:12] ---**
    Kakashi, take the kunai!
**[10:14] ---**
    Right!
**[10:21] ---**
    Rock Lee!
**[10:32] ---**
    Guy Sensei! Are you all right?
**[10:34] ---**
    Yes. Thanks, Lee.
**[10:40] ---**
    How is Tenten?
**[10:43] ---**
    She wanted to check something out,
    and made me go on ahead.
**[10:46] ---**
    Just when I was about to catch up...
**[10:48] ---**
    all of a sudden
    the Hirudora appeared.
**[10:50] ---**
    Are you all right, Guy?
**[10:52] ---**
    Yeah.
**[10:53] ---**
    Only my right arm and
    a few ribs are hurt.
**[10:57] ---**
    What are we going to do
    if our last ray of hope, your taijutsu…
**[11:00] ---**
    is no good?
**[11:09] ---**
    He's…too strong.
**[11:11] ---**
    Wait, Kakashi…
**[11:13] ---**
    It's too soon to decide
    my taijutsu won't work!
**[11:15] ---**
    But…
**[11:16] ---**
    Our youth hasn't faded yet!
**[11:20] ---**
    Do not lose hope!
**[11:27] ---**
    Guy Sensei…
**[11:28] ---**
    It's true that everything we wish for
    will not come to be...
**[11:32] ---**
    But things that we must do
**[11:34] ---**
    must always begin with a wish.
**[11:37] ---**
    Just like the times I challenged you.
**[11:41] ---**
    *I challenge you, Kakashi!*
**[11:44] ---**
    And this is not a bluff.
**[11:47] ---**
    Don't tell me...
**[11:48] ---**
    you're going to—!
**[11:50] ---**
    The end has come for
    the Leaf's Blue Beast…
**[11:54] ---**
    It's time for the Red Beast to emerge!
**[12:07] ---**
    No way… Not the final Gate of Death!
**[12:11] ---**
    Guy! Don't do that!
**[12:13] ---**
    Think it over hard!
**[12:14] ---**
    No one here wishes for that!
**[12:17] ---**
    Not even you father would...
**[12:19] ---**
    No!
**[12:20] ---**
    But I wish it.
**[12:22] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[12:23] ---**
    Do you really think it's that time?
**[12:27] ---**
    Lee, don't look at me like that.
**[12:31] ---**
    This time, you sit back
    and enjoy the show!
**[12:35] ---**
    *You remind me of myself back then,*
**[12:38] ---**
    *when I was*
    *a complete failure.*
**[12:41] ---**
    *Now, in matches against*
    *that elite genius Kakashi,*
**[12:43] ---**
    *we're nearly even.*
**[12:46] ---**
    *"Even if I cannot do ninjutsu or genjutsu…*
**[12:49] ---**
    *I want to prove that can still*
    *become a splendid ninja?"*
**[12:54] ---**
    *Isn't that your Ninja Way?*
**[12:56] ---**
    *That's a fine goal.*
**[12:58] ---**
    *It's a goal worth fighting for.*
**[13:03] ---**
    *So you must believe in your path*
    *and run hard toward it!*
**[13:08] ---**
    *Become strong so I can just sit back*
    *and enjoy the show!*
**[13:17] ---**
    *Father…*
**[13:20] ---**
    Yes, I'm in!
**[13:20] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[13:22] ---**
    Not there… not there… not there!
**[13:24] ---**
    ACADEMY ACCEPTANCE RESULTS
**[13:27] ---**
    Not there… not there… not there…
**[13:35] ---**
    There, I see it!
**[13:36] ---**
    We did it!
**[13:38] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[13:42] ---**
    Yes! I got in!
**[13:44] ---**
    My son, search to your heart's content!
**[13:48] ---**
    It's not there…
**[13:49] ---**
    My name is nowhere on the list, Papa!
**[13:53] ---**
    Then keep on looking, Guy!
**[13:55] ---**
    You have worked hard and
    done everything you possibly could.
**[13:57] ---**
    There is no way all that effort
    will not be rewarded.
**[14:00] ---**
    Those tears are blurring your vision.
    You will see your name soon.
**[14:07] ---**
    Yes!
**[14:08] ---**
    Might Guy… Might Guy… Might Guy...
**[14:13] ---**
    He just won't give up, will he?
**[14:15] ---**
    It's very unsightly.
**[14:20] ---**
    KAKASHI HATAKE
**[14:30] ---**
    Papa, I'm sorry…
**[14:33] ---**
    I'm so sorry…
**[14:36] ---**
    Do not give up, Guy!
**[14:37] ---**
    Don't turn away!
**[14:39] ---**
    You will find it! You will!
**[14:46] ---**
    ACADEMY ORIENTATION
**[14:52] ---**
    IF I RUN 500 LAPS, I'LL BE ACCEPTED
    AS AN ALTERNATE
**[14:58] ---**
    Isn't that the kid who was making
    such a fuss about failing the test?
**[15:08] ---**
    This is for my papa who never
    gave up on me too…
**[15:10] ---**
    I'll definitely get in!
**[15:11] ---**
    What does he mean by "self rule"?
**[15:16] ---**
    He can't just decide something like that!
**[15:19] ---**
    I know about it…
**[15:21] ---**
    He cannot perform ninjutsu
    or genjutsu at all.
**[15:23] ---**
    The only thing he has going for him
    is to move his body around.
**[15:28] ---**
    That may be so,
    but he looks ready to drop.
**[15:37] ---**
    Guy, don't give up.
**[15:40] ---**
    But you've got it all wrong!
**[15:42] ---**
    T-Two hundred thirty-five...laps…
**[15:53] ---**
    He's not even half way done!
**[16:05] ---**
    Papa...
**[16:12] ---**
    Guy! You fool!
**[16:17] ---**
    I'm sorry, Papa…
**[16:19] ---**
    I'm already five years old,
    but I can't even run 500 laps…
**[16:24] ---**
    Do not apologize!
**[16:26] ---**
    I'm not scolding you because of that!
**[16:28] ---**
    Never apologize for trying hard!
**[16:31] ---**
    It's an insult to your determination, Guy!
**[16:33] ---**
    Then why?
**[16:34] ---**
    You're applying your self-rule
    in the wrong manner!
**[16:39] ---**
    Doing 500 laps will qualify you
    for the vacant place in the academy?
**[16:42] ---**
    That's not a self-rule!
**[16:44] ---**
    That's just a wish!
**[16:46] ---**
    The kind you go on a pilgrimage for!
**[16:51] ---**
    You see,
**[16:52] ---**
    you impose a self-rule on yourself
    to spur you on
**[16:56] ---**
    and help you overcome
    a challenge or difficult situation.
**[16:59] ---**
    You apply a self-rule on yourself only.
**[17:03] ---**
    Because of that rule,
**[17:05] ---**
    you are able to gather your strength
    and focus on your efforts…
**[17:09] ---**
    So even if you fail,
**[17:11] ---**
    applying that rule keeps you
    extremely disciplined and focused.
**[17:16] ---**
    That is the way a self-rule works.
**[17:20] ---**
    I'm sorry, Papa…
**[17:21] ---**
    However, no one can find fault
    in your determination.
**[17:24] ---**
    Even if you can only make it half way,
**[17:27] ---**
    effort is effort.
**[17:29] ---**
    And for that, you deserve a big hug!
**[17:32] ---**
    Papa!
**[17:34] ---**
    Guy!
**[17:35] ---**
    Oh…there they go again,
    that father and son.
**[17:38] ---**
    Isn't that abuse?
**[17:40] ---**
    Anyway, what's with those bodysuits?
**[17:42] ---**
    Gross!
**[17:43] ---**
    Thank you for your support!
**[17:46] ---**
    Papa, I don't think that was support...
**[17:48] ---**
    Then, encouragement.
**[17:51] ---**
    I guess…I can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu…
**[17:55] ---**
    so that's why I failed the test…
**[17:56] ---**
    Listen, Guy!
**[17:57] ---**
    Your youth has just begun!
**[18:00] ---**
    Do not turn your back on your youth!
**[18:02] ---**
    Just like me!
**[18:04] ---**
    As your father,
**[18:05] ---**
    I'm happy that ninjutsu
    and genjutsu aren't your strong points!
**[18:12] ---**
    Knowing your shortcomings
    will highlight your strengths!
**[18:14] ---**
    Your taijutsu is already
    shining brilliantly!
**[18:18] ---**
    I'm very happy!
**[18:21] ---**
    I've discovered my own child's strengths
    when he's still so young!
**[18:28] ---**
    Papa, you're just saying that, aren't you?
**[18:31] ---**
    Shortcomings can become strengths!
**[18:32] ---**
    Being repetitious is just being polite!
**[18:34] ---**
    To be loud is simply to be lively!
**[18:36] ---**
    Obstinacy is merely earnestness!
**[18:38] ---**
    Those who are selfish are like cats!
**[18:40] ---**
    What about hairy people?
**[18:44] ---**
    Mmm... Th-They're like cats too!
**[18:46] ---**
    What about people with long torsos…?
**[18:49] ---**
    Th-They're like cats!
**[18:51] ---**
    Hey, Might Dai…
**[18:53] ---**
    Are you playing "training"
    with your son again?
**[18:55] ---**
    You sure work hard for a perennial genin!
**[18:59] ---**
    Yeah! Thanks for your support!
**[19:11] ---**
    Damn it! Still trying to
    act young at his age.
**[19:14] ---**
    Right?
**[19:16] ---**
    Oww!
**[19:17] ---**
    What?!
**[19:19] ---**
    Aren't you Dai's kid?!
**[19:21] ---**
    What's the big idea?
**[19:22] ---**
    Don't you ever say anything stupid
    about my papa ever again!
**[19:24] ---**
    Stupid is as stupid does.
    I just spoke the truth.
**[19:26] ---**
    If you say one bad word about Papa,
    I'll punch you five times!
**[19:30] ---**
    That's my self-rule!
**[19:36] ---**
    Your self-rule? Interesting.
**[19:38] ---**
    So I'll say it.
**[19:39] ---**
    Your dad is a good-for-nothing
    who can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu,
**[19:42] ---**
    and can't even do taijutsu that well.
**[19:45] ---**
    You know what they say?
**[19:47] ---**
    He's more a comedian
    than a genin.
**[19:52] ---**
    Yeah, a comedian who
    only tells jokes about youth isn't funny!
**[19:57] ---**
    You said two bad things!
**[19:59] ---**
    That's ten punches!
**[20:00] ---**
    And we'll punch you 20 times!
**[20:11] ---**
    Damn it!
**[20:33] ---**
    I can't believe you couldn't
    return a single punch
**[20:36] ---**
    after what they said about your father.
**[22:38] ---**
    Why did you do such a thing?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Papa, how can you stay
    so positive and optimistic?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    When does one's youth come to an end?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    As long as you never turn
    your back against youth...
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    it never ends.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Then are you saying your youth won't
    come to an end when you die, Papa?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    What are you saying, Guy?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Papa's Youth"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    That is when youth climaxes!
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    When it burns the brightest!
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    PAPA'S YOUTH
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Papa's Youth*
    
    
**[01:35] ---**
    Guy, why did you do
    such a thing?!
**[01:39] ---**
    Papa…
**[01:41] ---**
    Papa… How can you stay
    so positive and optimistic?
**[01:47] ---**
    When does one's youth
    come to an end?
**[01:50] ---**
    As long as you never turn your back
    against youth, it never ends.
**[01:54] ---**
    Then are you saying your youth won't come
    to an end when you die, Papa?!
**[01:56] ---**
    What are you saying, Guy?!
**[01:58] ---**
    That is when youth climaxes!
**[02:00] ---**
    When it burns the brightest!
**[02:02] ---**
    There's something wrong
    with you, Papa!
**[02:04] ---**
    Youth doesn't matter
    a bit when you die!
**[02:06] ---**
    You can believe in it until you die,
**[02:08] ---**
    but there's no guarantee you'll win
    against someone strong!
**[02:11] ---**
    Just like me…
**[02:25] ---**
    True victory isn't about winning
    against someone strong.
**[02:30] ---**
    It's about defending
    what's important to you!
**[02:38] ---**
    I just wanted…
**[02:44] ---**
    to protect this youth that
    you always talk about!
**[03:02] ---**

    MIGHT GUY
**[03:30] ---**
    – Papa!
    – Guy!
**[03:34] ---**
    Those two are at it again.
**[03:36] ---**
    Someone should report them soon.
**[03:39] ---**
    Oh!
**[03:40] ---**
    My son's efforts have been rewarded!
**[03:42] ---**
    I've been accepted
    as an alternate!
**[03:45] ---**
    – Thank you for your support!
    – Thank you for your support!
**[03:54] ---**
    Clone Jutsu!
**[03:58] ---**
    Well, that's a start.
**[04:03] ---**
    Kakashi Hatake,
    let's see your clone!
**[04:10] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[04:11] ---**
    Step up to the front and—!
**[04:16] ---**
    Awesome!
**[04:18] ---**
    You are Sakumo's son, after all…
**[04:21] ---**
    To be able to do
    a Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.
**[04:25] ---**
    *Papa… There really are people*
    *who can be considered geniuses!*
**[04:29] ---**
    Next, Might Guy.
**[04:32] ---**
    Step up to the front.
**[04:33] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[04:39] ---**
    All right, let's see
    your Clone Jutsu.
**[04:41] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[04:43] ---**
    He can't even do ninjutsu…
**[04:46] ---**
    Aw man, looks like
    he's gonna pee in his pants!
**[04:48] ---**
    Hurry up and do it!
**[04:50] ---**
    All right!
**[04:52] ---**
    Clone Jutsu!
**[05:10] ---**
    Who wants to wear that?!
**[05:12] ---**
    Who'd wear something that ugly!
**[05:22] ---**
    As Papa said, I do have something
    that shines brilliantly!
**[05:26] ---**
    Yes…
**[05:27] ---**
    My taijutsu is already
    shining brilliantly.
**[05:31] ---**
    That's right.
    What they say doesn't matter!
**[05:34] ---**
    I'm my own self!
**[05:35] ---**
    I'll follow Papa, and do
    my best according to my self-rule!
**[05:43] ---**
    If I can't do 500 laps,
    I'll do 500 handstands!
**[05:47] ---**
    If I can't do 500 laps on my hands,
    I'll do 500 push-ups!
**[05:52] ---**
    If I can't do push-ups…
    I'll do them on my fingers…
**[05:56] ---**
    500…
**[06:02] ---**
    F-Fifteen…
**[06:13] ---**
    He couldn't do any of them!
**[06:15] ---**
    He can't even do taijutsu!
**[06:53] ---**
    *Papa told me…*
**[06:55] ---**
    *Effort always…always pays off!*
**[07:15] ---**
    You fool!
**[07:21] ---**
    I have no doubt that boy
    will become your lifelong rival!
**[07:27] ---**
    So why don't you challenge him?!
**[07:30] ---**
    That's crazy… He's a genius.
    It's obvious I'd lose…
**[07:36] ---**
    And so what if you do?
**[07:37] ---**
    I'll go with you, so let's go
    find this Kakashi boy.
**[07:41] ---**
    W-Wait! B-But…
**[07:44] ---**
    O-Okay, I'll follow my self-rule.
**[07:48] ---**
    Oh? Your self-rule!
**[07:50] ---**
    If I can't do 500 laps
    around the school,
**[07:52] ---**
    I'll challenge Kakashi!
**[07:55] ---**
    Well said, Guy!
    That's more like my son!
**[07:58] ---**
    – Thank you for your support!
    – Thank you for your support!
**[08:09] ---**
    496…
**[08:14] ---**
    I can't do it…after all…
**[08:17] ---**
    Huh? I'm not that exhausted…?
**[08:25] ---**
    Huh? I can keep going?
**[08:28] ---**
    The 500th lap!
**[08:30] ---**
    I did it!
**[08:32] ---**
    I don't have to challenge him…
**[08:34] ---**
    If I can't do 500 laps…
**[08:38] ---**
    I'll challenge…Kakashi…
**[08:44] ---**
    498…
**[08:50] ---**
    500 laps!
**[08:52] ---**
    I did it again!
**[08:56] ---**
    500…501…
**[09:01] ---**
    502…503…
**[09:06] ---**
    504…
**[09:09] ---**
    He's making it look easy.
**[09:12] ---**
    He's totally doing it…
**[09:23] ---**
    753…754…
**[09:27] ---**
    755…756…757…
**[09:49] ---**
    I see… So you haven't been able
    to challenge Kakashi yet.
**[09:53] ---**
    But you're following
    your self-rules, so that's that.
**[09:56] ---**
    Yes.
**[09:58] ---**
    You realize it's because
    you're doing such a good job
**[10:00] ---**
    honing your strong points?
**[10:06] ---**
    And now, I'm going to
    challenge myself
**[10:09] ---**
    by going up and down
    this mountain 500 times!
**[10:13] ---**
    That was cold!
**[10:43] ---**
    *If the genius trains just as hard…*
**[10:47] ---**
    *what chance do I have to beat him?*
**[11:07] ---**
    *But…I just don't want to lose in*
    *hard work and perseverance.*
**[11:38] ---**
    Is that boy Kakashi?
**[11:41] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:46] ---**
    I was wrong.
**[11:50] ---**
    There's nothing wrong with wishing…
**[11:51] ---**
    or praying for success…
    as a self-rule.
**[11:55] ---**
    That boy intimidates you,
    doesn't he?
**[12:02] ---**
    When I can do 5000 laps
    around the schoolyard…
**[12:04] ---**
    I'll challenge Kakashi!
**[12:07] ---**
    Well said, my son!
**[12:19] ---**
    Do your best, my son!
**[12:21] ---**
    The road of your youth
    stretches out before you!
**[12:25] ---**
    345!
**[12:27] ---**
    Go! Run and keep on running!
**[12:31] ---**
    500…
**[12:33] ---**
    Guy… Keep on going!
**[12:38] ---**
    1507…
**[12:45] ---**
    The springtime of youth
    still chases after you!
**[12:53] ---**
    2849…
**[13:03] ---**
    *I want to challenge you!*
**[13:16] ---**
    *I will not lose!*
**[13:21] ---**
    5000…laps!
**[13:26] ---**
    Congratulations, Guy!
**[13:28] ---**
    Papa… So this is youth.
**[13:35] ---**
    *So? How about we lay our youth*
    *on the line for a hot-blooded battle?*
**[13:49] ---**
    If it's taijutsu, I won't lose to you!
**[13:52] ---**
    *It's heavy!*
**[13:56] ---**
    Leaf Hurricane!
**[14:01] ---**
    Here I go!
**[14:03] ---**
    Come on!
**[14:04] ---**
    Rock, Paper, Scissors!
**[14:07] ---**
    – Again! Again! Again! Again!
    – Again! Again! Again! Again!
**[14:13] ---**
    Guy! Congratulations on graduating
    from the Academy!
**[14:17] ---**
    But you cannot graduate from youth!
**[14:20] ---**
    Of course! I don't care if I die
    as a remnant of youth!
**[14:24] ---**
    I will stay forever in
    the academy we call youth!
**[14:28] ---**
    – Thank you for your support!
    – Thank you for your support!
**[14:57] ---**
    Operation Cat Rescue…successful!
**[15:09] ---**
    Lord Hokage praised me as
    the master of finding cats!
**[15:13] ---**
    Oh…
**[15:15] ---**
    Isn't that wonderful?
**[15:17] ---**
    But, is this the climax of
    your youth, Papa?
**[15:49] ---**
    Depending on how things go with
    the Third Great Ninja War,
**[15:53] ---**
    there may be changes
    in team formations.
**[15:58] ---**
    But for now, I'm your team captain,
    Choza Akimichi.
**[16:03] ---**
    Since fate has brought us
    all together as a team…
**[16:05] ---**
    Please forgive me!
**[16:07] ---**
    I'll never make
    this mistake again!
**[16:09] ---**
    You say that,
**[16:10] ---**
    but you keep making the same mistake
    over and over again.
**[16:13] ---**
    – I have no choice but to drop you.
    – Please, not that!
**[16:17] ---**
    You keep asking me…
**[16:19] ---**
    But I'm tired of hearing
    that from you.
**[16:23] ---**
    Please, give me another chance!
**[16:26] ---**
    I'll take any mission.
    I'll work harder than ever before!
**[16:30] ---**
    I beg you!
**[16:32] ---**
    Please! Please!
**[16:39] ---**
    How can he humiliate himself
    like that?
**[16:42] ---**
    That's not youth.
**[16:45] ---**
    Isn't that how he raised you though?
**[16:51] ---**
    I don't think there's
    a cooler shinobi out there…
**[16:54] ---**
    …than your dad.
**[16:59] ---**
    *True victory isn't about winning*
    *against someone strong.*
**[17:05] ---**
    *It's about defending*
    *what's important to you!*
**[17:15] ---**
    Father…
**[17:16] ---**
    Guy, you've grown into
    a fine young man…
**[17:20] ---**
    There's only one thing left
    that I'm able to do for you.
**[17:25] ---**
    Now pay close attention, Guy.
**[17:38] ---**
    Father… What is this?!
**[17:40] ---**
    The Eight Inner Gates…
**[17:42] ---**
    A type of Forbidden Jutsu!
**[17:44] ---**
    *Father mastered such*
    *a technique? When did he…?*
**[17:53] ---**
    As a genin, I practiced every day,
**[17:55] ---**
    and finally grasped this unique jutsu
    after twenty years.
**[17:59] ---**
    Twenty years!
**[18:01] ---**
    To put it plainly,
**[18:02] ---**
    this is the one and only jutsu that
    I can pass on to you as your father.
**[18:05] ---**
    And it shall become
    a most special technique to you!
**[18:09] ---**
    Special?
**[18:11] ---**
    You have become
    a splendid shinobi!
**[18:13] ---**
    But I shall impose
    one strict condition
**[18:15] ---**
    upon the use of this technique.
**[18:18] ---**
    A self-rule!
**[18:20] ---**
    A self-rule…
**[18:23] ---**
    *Father…*
**[18:39] ---**
    *His chakra is spreading toward*
    *the Death Gate's Chakra Point.*
**[18:49] ---**
    *Father…*
**[18:55] ---**
    The Eighth Gate…of Death!
**[18:58] ---**
    It's no good… We're surrounded.
**[19:00] ---**
    There's no way we can escape.
**[19:02] ---**
    No way…
**[19:04] ---**
    Aren't they the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen of the Mist?!
**[19:07] ---**
    So even brats from other villages
    know who we are?
**[19:11] ---**
    We've gotten pretty famous.
**[19:14] ---**
    What's this? It's slight,
    but the blade's gotten chipped!
**[19:18] ---**
    I have to let it suck some blood…
**[19:19] ---**
    …and restore it with iron.
**[19:27] ---**
    What'll we do? We can't take
    them on by ourselves!
**[19:31] ---**
    I made it just in time!
**[19:34] ---**
    Father!
**[19:37] ---**
    You're a genin, Father!
**[19:38] ---**
    What're doing here?!
**[19:40] ---**
    Never mind, just run away!
**[19:41] ---**
    I'll buy you some time!
**[19:43] ---**
    Run away?!
**[19:44] ---**
    Father!
**[19:45] ---**
    They are jonin, plus,
    they're the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
**[19:49] ---**
    You're no match for them!
**[19:52] ---**
    I have the Gate of Death…
    the Eight Inner Gates Formation!
**[19:55] ---**
    But that's—!
**[19:57] ---**
    I'm going by my self-rule!
**[20:01] ---**
    *Now is the time…*
**[20:02] ---**
    Open! Eight Inner
    Gates Formation!
**[20:05] ---**
    *…to protect something precious enough*
    *to give your life for!*
**[20:11] ---**
    Guy, are you really going to—!
**[20:14] ---**
    I can't believe this.
**[20:18] ---**
    Red vapor…
**[20:20] ---**
    The unique vapor of blood…
    from the opening of all eight gates…
**[20:25] ---**
    But actually seeing it
    with my own eyes…
**[20:27] ---**
    It's almost like the color
    of dead autumn leaves
**[20:30] ---**
    that have fallen off their tree…
**[20:34] ---**
    You're right.
**[20:35] ---**
    But they're not falling
    for any reason or purpose…
**[20:40] ---**
    They become the nutrients…
**[20:42] ---**
    for fresh green leaves!
**[20:45] ---**
    And the period they bridge,
**[20:47] ---**
    until the new spring
    when fresh leaves bud…
**[20:51] ---**
    …is the climax of youth!
    When it burns most crimson!
**[20:59] ---**
    Sekizo, Evening Elephant!
**[22:37] ---**
    What has Might Guy done?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    The Eight Inner Gates Formation.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    A move that allows one to draw out
    one's maximum power
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    by releasing the limiters
    placed on it.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    The release of
    all Eight Limiters results
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    in power tens of times greater
    than that of the Five Kage.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    But…
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Eight Inner Gates Formation"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    You're the first since Hashirama
    to make me feel this excited!
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    THE EIGHT INNER GATES
    FORMATION

    Red vapor…
**[00:03] ---**
    The unique vapor of blood
**[00:05] ---**
    from the opening of
    all eight gates.
**[00:08] ---**
    But actually seeing it
    with my own eyes,
**[00:12] ---**
    it's almost like the color of
    dead autumn leaves
**[00:14] ---**
    that have fallen off their tree.
**[00:17] ---**
    You're right.
**[00:19] ---**
    But they're not falling
    without reason or purpose.
**[00:24] ---**
    They become the nutrients…
**[00:26] ---**
    for fresh green leaves!
**[00:29] ---**
    And the period they bridge,
**[00:31] ---**
    until the new spring when

**[00:33] ---**
    is the climax of youth!
**[00:35] ---**
    When it burns most crimson!
**[02:08] ---**
    *The Eight Inner Gates Formation*
    
    
**[02:14] ---**
    First Step!
**[02:30] ---**
    Go for it, Guy Sensei!
**[02:33] ---**
    I can…
**[02:34] ---**
    no longer…
**[02:49] ---**
    Guy, is that your—?!
**[02:52] ---**
    That is Sensei's Sekizo,
    the Evening Elephant!
**[02:56] ---**
    Second Step!
**[03:02] ---**
    He stopped midway?!
**[03:04] ---**
    *The Evening Elephant is supposed*
    *to be a continuous attack*
**[03:06] ---**
    *that can be shifted up in speed*
    *from one to five times…*
**[03:11] ---**
    *I see, what unbelievable pain.*
**[03:14] ---**
    *But I've acclimated.*
**[03:16] ---**
    *Next time, I can keep it going without*
    *giving him any openings.*
**[03:20] ---**
    *Great stress is placed on*
    *the body even through*
**[03:22] ---**
    *the Fifth Gate, the Gate of Closing…*
**[03:25] ---**
    *I bet the Gate of Death's*
    *level of pain*
**[03:27] ---**
    *is something that exceeds*
    *my imagination!*
**[03:39] ---**
    A taijutsu move that bombards
    with blows of punched air…
**[03:43] ---**
    An air cannon, so to speak…
**[03:51] ---**
    *Taking four or five of those*
    *would be bad.*
**[03:55] ---**
    *I should definitely avoid getting hit*
    *by the fists creating them too.*
**[04:09] ---**
    Did he succeed?!
**[04:16] ---**
    One rarely gets to fight
    the Eight Inner Gates Formation!
**[04:19] ---**
    I'm game! I'll play with you!
**[04:24] ---**
    I figured as much…
    He didn't bring him down yet.
**[04:27] ---**
    What has Might Guy done?
**[04:29] ---**
    The Eight Inner Gates Formation…
**[04:31] ---**
    A technique that allows one to
    draw out their maximum power
**[04:34] ---**
    by releasing the limiters
    placed on it.
**[04:37] ---**
    It's the final stage of the jutsu
    Lee used against you
**[04:40] ---**
    in the Chunin Exams long ago.
**[04:43] ---**
    Releasing all eight limiters results
    in power tens of times greater
**[04:47] ---**
    than that of the Five Kage.
**[04:49] ---**
    But it's only temporary.
**[04:52] ---**
    After using this technique,
    the user will…
**[04:56] ---**
    inevitably die.
**[05:03] ---**
    He's coming towards me
    by kicking air!
**[05:16] ---**
    *He is…*
**[05:17] ---**
    *my precious student whom I love.*
**[05:25] ---**
    Lee, are you—?
**[05:27] ---**
    I am not sad!
**[05:31] ---**
    Showing any pity or sorrow
    to someone
**[05:34] ---**
    who has resolved himself
    would be an insult!
**[05:43] ---**
    We must assist Guy.
**[05:45] ---**
    Listen up.
**[05:48] ---**
    Sensei…
**[05:49] ---**
    Those black weapons of his
    are troublesome…
**[05:52] ---**
    They're not the *activating-from*
    *-nothing* type,
**[05:54] ---**
    but an *always-on-standby*
    type that undergo Change in Form.
**[05:57] ---**
    Their impact points disappear,
**[05:59] ---**
    but there is clear sensation
    if they make contact with you.
**[06:03] ---**
    Also, he can only send them
    about 70 meters out.
**[06:06] ---**
    Any further than that,
    and he'll lose control over them.
**[06:11] ---**
    Since they actually exist and
    can be seen with the eye,
**[06:14] ---**
    your Kamui should work on them.
**[06:17] ---**
    By sending them away,
**[06:19] ---**
    we can prevent Madara from
    controlling them.
**[06:22] ---**
    To be honest, I'm beginning
    to lose sight in my left eye.
**[06:26] ---**
    I'll have to get pretty close to
    target my Kamui accurately.
**[06:31] ---**
    Gaara, can you prepare some sand?
**[06:34] ---**
    You want me to transport Kakashi
    with my sand, right?
**[06:37] ---**
    But my sand isn't fast enough
    to avoid his attacks.
**[06:41] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[06:42] ---**
    That's where I come in.
**[06:44] ---**
    I'll have Kakashi carry
    one of my kunai.
**[06:46] ---**
    Eight Inner Gates:
    The Six Gate of Joy!
**[06:49] ---**
    Open!
**[06:54] ---**
    Lee!
**[06:55] ---**
    You've mastered
    the Eight Inner Gates too?!
**[06:57] ---**
    I can only open up to
    the Sixth Gate…
**[07:00] ---**
    I've never cursed my own lack
    of power as I do now!
**[07:06] ---**
    No… That's enough, Lee.
**[07:10] ---**
    Because you're still…
**[07:13] ---**
    …a fresh new leaf Guy wants
    to risk his life to protect!
**[07:25] ---**
    Lee, I want you to stay here
    to support and guard Gaara.
**[07:29] ---**
    And one more thing…
    Take one of my kunai.
**[07:40] ---**
    First Step!
**[07:41] ---**
    He is fast!
**[07:47] ---**
    Second Step!
**[07:50] ---**
    Third Step!
**[07:52] ---**
    Fourth Step!
**[07:56] ---**
    *I can't move!*
**[07:58] ---**
    Fifth Step!
**[08:00] ---**
    Just keep forging on, Guy!
    No matter what!
**[08:02] ---**
    *Here he comes!*
**[08:11] ---**
    *Great timing, Lee!*
**[08:19] ---**
    Kamui!
**[09:14] ---**
    You're the first since Hashirama
    to make me feel this excited!
**[09:18] ---**
    Can you still dance?
**[09:20] ---**
    Do you have any
    other techniques?
**[09:23] ---**
    Give me some more fun!
**[09:25] ---**
    *He got up from a barrage of Sekizo?*
**[09:58] ---**
    Where am I?
**[10:00] ---**
    Did I die?
**[10:04] ---**
    What makes thee think
    that thou art dead?
**[10:08] ---**
    Thine ethical viewpoint
    on death differs much
**[10:11] ---**
    from that which prevailed
    in my time…
**[10:14] ---**
    To so easily replace oneself
    with the term "death"…
**[10:18] ---**
    Thou must gain mettle,
    oh fledgling.
**[10:22] ---**
    Who are you?
**[10:24] ---**
    'Tis quite a precise query
    for this place, but…
**[10:27] ---**
    I am quite uneasy over
    whether thou shalt be able
**[10:30] ---**
    to connect my name with
    my actions as a herald…
**[10:37] ---**
    I am he who shall achieve
    peace and order…
**[10:40] ---**
    My name is Hagoromo.
**[10:49] ---**
    On the other hand…
**[10:51] ---**
    I had foreseen
**[10:52] ---**
    that thou wouldst end up
    in such a state as that.
**[10:57] ---**
    *Uh…I don't understand*
    *what the hell he's saying.*
**[11:00] ---**
    *He seems to be one of*
    *those annoying geezers!*
**[11:06] ---**
    Hey, gramps, sorry.
    But, I…
**[11:09] ---**
    Now then…
**[11:10] ---**
    Hey! Those eyes!
**[11:12] ---**
    Rinnegan!
**[11:14] ---**
    Thou dost appear to
    possess observant eyes.
**[11:17] ---**
    All that remains is for thee
**[11:20] ---**
    to pragmatically comprehend
    thy circumstances.
**[11:23] ---**
    Thou hast not died yet…
**[11:25] ---**
    This place is thine inner mind.
**[11:28] ---**
    I understand thine haste,
**[11:29] ---**
    – *This geezer's not an enemy?*
    – but at this moment,
**[11:31] ---**
    – *This geezer's not an enemy?*
    – rushing will accomplish naught.
**[11:33] ---**
    *But…*
**[11:34] ---**
    Can't you speak a little more smoothly,
    using easy, normal words?
**[11:39] ---**
    I am an anachronism.
**[11:42] ---**
    Over the passage of much time,
**[11:44] ---**
    cultural traditions and
    notions, and ethics
**[11:47] ---**
    have brought about
    significant change.
**[11:51] ---**
    Each occurrence where I cross
    time and meet a reincarnate,
**[11:55] ---**
    I have come to sense
    greatly the differences
**[11:57] ---**
    between the other and myself…
**[11:59] ---**
    I was also able to
    formalistically regulate and
**[12:03] ---**
    learn new mores and words, however…
**[12:05] ---**
    Shut up already!
**[12:07] ---**
    I don't have the time
    to be sitting around
**[12:09] ---**
    and listening to
    some weird geezer!
**[12:11] ---**
    Not just searching for words…
**[12:13] ---**
    But there is ambiguity
    in scholarship.
**[12:17] ---**
    If communication of wills
    cannot be achieved
**[12:19] ---**
    in addition to difficulty of definition…
**[12:22] ---**
    I see that I must speak simply…
**[12:25] ---**
    taking into account current idealistic
    and materialistic thinking.
**[12:29] ---**
    Are you an alien or something?
**[12:32] ---**
    I mean, you seem
    super dignified, but…
**[12:37] ---**
    Uh, that's a bit much, doncha think?
**[12:39] ---**
    An alien? Seriously?
**[12:45] ---**
    Well, maybe that ain't too far off.
    So anyway…
**[12:53] ---**
    Do you still fail to understand me?
**[12:55] ---**
    To think that conversation would
    pose such a complex challenge…
**[12:58] ---**
    No! Keep talking like just now.
    I finally get you!
**[13:02] ---**
    I was just shocked because
**[13:04] ---**
    your speaking style
    changed so drastically, ya know?
**[13:07] ---**
    Oh, for real?
**[13:09] ---**
    Then I'll keep going like this.
    Much pleased!
**[13:16] ---**
    Uh, yeah.
**[13:17] ---**
    Oh but, those words don't match up
    with your face at all,
**[13:20] ---**
    so it's kind of super-scary…
**[13:22] ---**
    *And he loses all dignity too.*
**[13:25] ---**
    You should be just a bit more formal.
**[13:29] ---**
    Otherwise, you come off
    kind of dumb.
**[13:31] ---**
    Now you're going too far, no?
**[13:33] ---**
    What do you mean by dumb?!
**[13:35] ---**
    Well, considering how
    I was talking before,
**[13:37] ---**
    I guess I can't blame you for that.
**[13:40] ---**
    So how's this then?
**[13:43] ---**
    That's it! All right!
    That's perfect!
**[13:46] ---**
    Indeed. I'm getting
    the hang of it too.
**[13:49] ---**
    Finally, I can talk with you.
**[13:52] ---**
    So anyway, gramps, who are you?
**[13:55] ---**
    If you know a lot about this place,
**[13:56] ---**
    tell me how to
    get out of here!
**[13:59] ---**
    Don't ask so many questions
    all at once!
**[14:02] ---**
    I am a person of the past,
    someone long dead.
**[14:05] ---**
    A monk who wanders through
    this world as chakra,
**[14:08] ---**
    crossing generations, ascertaining
    the course of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
**[14:13] ---**
    My name is Hagoromo,
    the founder of the Ninja Creed.
**[14:16] ---**
    I'm also known as
    the Sage of Six Paths.
**[14:19] ---**
    What?! The Sage of Six Paths?!
**[14:21] ---**
    The sage from the legends that
    Pervy Sage and Nagato talked about?
**[14:26] ---**
    Oh, so you know about me?
**[14:28] ---**
    Of course I do!
**[14:30] ---**
    You're the one who
    created ninjutsu, right?
**[14:33] ---**
    Not ninjutsu…
    Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
**[14:35] ---**
    My Ninja Creed was something
    meant to birth hope.
**[14:39] ---**
    Do not confuse it with ninjutsu
    which breeds conflict!
**[14:43] ---**
    In any case, if you're the sage,
**[14:46] ---**
    I've got tons of things
    I wanna ask you.
**[14:48] ---**
    But first, right now…
**[15:02] ---**
    You are my son Ashura's…
**[15:09] ---**
    Anyway, the conditions are
    all in place now.
**[15:13] ---**
    There are things I must
    entrust you with.
**[15:18] ---**
    Ashu…ra? Entrust?
**[15:20] ---**
    Quit talking gibberish and
    let me out of here!
**[15:25] ---**
    Forgive me... That is something I have
    no influence over.
**[15:29] ---**
    That depends on the actions
    of those outside.
**[15:33] ---**
    I can only relay things to you.
**[15:35] ---**
    I'm not getting what
    you're saying again!
**[15:39] ---**
    It means right now,
**[15:40] ---**
    trying to rush won't make
    any difference.
**[15:45] ---**
    So I want you to listen for a bit…
**[15:46] ---**
    No, you *must* listen…
**[15:50] ---**
    First, about my mother and sons.
**[16:00] ---**
    My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki,
**[16:04] ---**
    came to this land of yours
    from a faraway place.
**[16:07] ---**
    She came in search of
    the fruit of the Divine Tree.
**[16:10] ---**
    The chakra fruit of
    that same Divine Tree,
**[16:14] ---**
    that you have seen in this war.
**[16:18] ---**
    Kaguya consumed
    the fruit, attained power,
**[16:20] ---**
    and subdued this land.
**[16:23] ---**
    Where'd Kaguya come from?
**[16:25] ---**
    Is she stronger than you,
    Sage of Six Paths?
**[16:27] ---**
    I guess all moms are scary
    when they're mad, huh?
**[16:31] ---**
    It matters not where
    she came from.
**[16:34] ---**
    Mother was powerful…
    More powerful than any other.
**[16:39] ---**
    Some called my mother
    the Rabbit Goddess
**[16:41] ---**
    and others considered her
    a demon…
**[16:42] ---**
    They both worshipped her
    and feared her.
**[16:46] ---**
    Later, Kaguya would birth two sons.
**[16:49] ---**
    I was one of them.
**[16:52] ---**
    We brothers, to atone for
    the crimes mother left behind,
**[16:56] ---**
    battled Ten Tails, an incarnation
    of the Divine Tree,
**[16:59] ---**
    and sealed it inside me.
**[17:02] ---**
    The Divine Tree,
    robbed of its Chakra Fruit,
**[17:05] ---**
    went on a rampage in
    an attempt to recover it.
**[17:09] ---**
    Much, much later,
    I had two sons of my own.
**[17:14] ---**
    I named the elder, Indra,
    and the younger, Ashura,
**[17:17] ---**
    and I taught them
    the Ninja Creed.
**[17:21] ---**
    But there was a huge difference
    between the two.
**[17:25] ---**
    One possessed genes containing
    my powerful chakra
**[17:27] ---**
    and the other did not.
**[17:30] ---**
    And this difference manifested
    itself in an extreme manner.
**[17:33] ---**
    It's getting complicated again,
    ya know?
**[17:37] ---**
    What does this all mean?
**[17:38] ---**
    In short…
**[17:40] ---**
    There was the exceptional
    older brother, Indra…
**[17:42] ---**
    and the dunce
    younger brother, Ashura.
**[17:45] ---**
    A dunce, huh?
**[17:48] ---**
    Even though his dad's
    the Sage of Six Paths?
**[17:52] ---**
    Perhaps there's no need
    to say this to you, but…
**[17:55] ---**
    No matter how exceptional
    both parents may be,
**[17:58] ---**
    there's no guarantee one will
    inherit outright either of their abilities.
**[18:02] ---**
    Sound familiar?
**[18:04] ---**
    Just as it seems to have been
    in your case, Naruto.
**[18:11] ---**
    For some reason,
    I understand that completely.
**[18:16] ---**
    And you are truly similar
    to Ashura, in your actions as well.
**[18:21] ---**
    Huh? My actions?
**[18:25] ---**
    Indra and Ashura walked
    different paths in life.
**[18:28] ---**
    Elder brother, Indra, possessed
    strong Visual Prowess
**[18:32] ---**
    and senses from birth,
    and was called a genius.
**[18:35] ---**
    He always did everything alone,
    leaning only on his own strength
**[18:40] ---**
    and came to understand that his powers
    were different and special.
**[18:43] ---**
    He perceived that power could
    achieve everything.
**[18:47] ---**
    On the other hand, nothing ever went well
    for the younger brother, Ashura,
**[18:50] ---**
    from the time he was young.
**[18:52] ---**
    And he couldn't do anything
    on his own.
**[18:55] ---**
    In order to attain the same power
    as his older brother,
**[18:57] ---**
    he needed the cooperation of others
    in addition to his own effort.
**[19:03] ---**
    While struggling through training,
**[19:05] ---**
    the power of bodily chakra awakened
    within Ashura
**[19:08] ---**
    and he attained power
    rivaling his brother's.
**[19:10] ---**
    He came to understand that
    he was able to become strong,
**[19:13] ---**
    thanks to the cooperation and
    help of those around him.
**[19:19] ---**
    He learned of the love for others that
    arises from thinking about others…
**[19:24] ---**
    And perceived that it was love
    that can achieve everything.
**[19:30] ---**
    In the way that the younger one
    chose to live his life…
**[19:34] ---**
    I thought I caught a glimpse
    of new possibilities.
**[19:38] ---**
    I partitioned the power of
    the Ten Tails inside of me,
**[19:41] ---**
    and named each of the pieces…
**[19:43] ---**
    And believed that the bond known
    as "cooperation" was true power.
**[19:52] ---**
    I then named
    the younger brother, Ashura,
**[19:55] ---**
    the leader and guardian
    of the Ninja Creed,
**[19:59] ---**
    believing that his elder brother, Indra,
    would cooperate with his younger brother.
**[20:04] ---**
    However…
**[20:09] ---**
    Indra did not accept my decision.
**[20:13] ---**
    And thus from that day on,
**[20:16] ---**
    …interminable conflict began.
**[20:23] ---**
    Even after their flesh perished,
    the chakra the two honed
**[20:28] ---**
    continued to reincarnate across time,
**[20:31] ---**
    without vanishing…
    over and over.
**[20:34] ---**
    It kind of sounds like being
    haunted by a ghost. It's creepy.
**[20:37] ---**
    So, is it still possessing
    someone even know?
**[20:42] ---**
    It's you, Naruto.
**[20:46] ---**
    The younger brother Ashura has
    reincarnated as you.
**[22:37] ---**
    If all chakra were to
    be reunited into one again,
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    a new Chakra Fruit
    would take shape.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    That must be prevented
    at all costs,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    or this world would come
    to an end.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    I would like you to stop Madara.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    In your unpredictability,
    I feel the possibility exists.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Sage of Six Paths."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Thanks for believing in us.
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE SAGE OF THE SIX PATHS
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:01] ---**
    The younger brother, Ashura,
    has been reincarnated in you.
**[00:05] ---**
    My eyes can clearly see
    Ashura's chakra clinging about you.
**[00:14] ---**
    *I wonder if…*
**[00:16] ---**
    You don't seem too surprised.
**[00:20] ---**
    Perhaps, you have sensed
    Ashura's presence
**[00:23] ---**
    inside you already?
**[00:28] ---**
    I thought as much.
    Then you must know already…
**[00:32] ---**
    who is the reincarnate
    of the older one, Indra…
**[00:46] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[00:55] ---**
    *Sasuke did that?*
**[00:58] ---**
    *Yes, it's an unbelievable situation.*
**[01:12] ---**
    *That's why I want you*
    *to let me handle Sasuke.*
**[01:16] ---**
    *You want to take on*
    *Sasuke alone?*
**[01:18] ---**
    *How can you expect us*
    *to agree to that?*
**[01:22] ---**
    *Tenten is right, Naruto.*
**[01:25] ---**
    *We can't just give in*
    *to your stubbornness.*
**[01:28] ---**
    *The reason is…*
**[01:29] ---**
    *this is a big problem*
    *for the village.*
**[01:31] ---**
    *I'm not being stubborn.*
**[01:33] ---**
    *You said you'd give us*
    *the details when we got home,*
**[01:37] ---**
    *but I never thought*
    *this is what you'd say!*
**[01:39] ---**
    *We've all made up our minds*
    *to kill Sasuke!*
**[01:43] ---**
    *Hey, Naruto, I hope you're not saying*
    *you'll get Sasuke all by yourself,*
**[01:48] ---**
    *when you're actually planning*
    *to protect him.*
**[01:52] ---**
    *No, I have no intention*
    *of protecting Sasuke.*
**[02:00] ---**
    *After all the fighting*
    *at the Five Kage Summit,*
**[02:03] ---**
    *and fighting Danzo…*
**[02:05] ---**
    *If Sasuke was so weakened*
    *at that time,*
**[02:07] ---**
    *why didn't you take him out*
    *right then?*
**[02:09] ---**
    *Madara was there too!*
**[02:11] ---**
    *It didn't seem like it would*
    *be an easy task. Besides…*
**[02:15] ---**
    *That's no reason to let him*
    *get away so easily!*
**[02:19] ---**
    *Hey, Naruto…*
    *You're strong.*
**[02:22] ---**
    *You're the hero who took*
    *down Pain, aren't you?!*
**[02:25] ---**
    *Hero?*
**[02:26] ---**
    *Yeah. You could take Sasuke down*
    *like you did back then.*
**[02:29] ---**
    *That's not true.*
**[02:34] ---**
    *I wouldn't be able to beat Sasuke*
    *with something like that now.*
**[02:38] ---**
    *That's what I found out.*
**[02:42] ---**
    *Inside him too, is…*
**[02:49] ---**
    Isn't that right?
**[04:21] ---**
    *The Sage of Six Paths*
    
    
**[04:25] ---**
    The older brother, Indra,
    has been reincarnated in you.
**[04:29] ---**
    My eyes can clearly see
    Indra's chakra clinging about you.
**[04:41] ---**
    You don't seem too surprised.
**[04:44] ---**
    Perhaps, you have sensed
    Indra's presence inside you already?
**[04:52] ---**
    I thought as much.
    Then you must know already…
**[04:57] ---**
    who is the reincarnate
    of the younger one, Ashura…
**[05:04] ---**
    Naruto…
**[05:07] ---**
    Isn't that right?
**[05:10] ---**
    Yes. You sensed it, after all.
**[05:14] ---**
    It seems that there were
    other reincarnates
**[05:17] ---**
    besides Sasuke and me…
**[05:19] ---**
    Who were the others?
**[05:22] ---**
    The first generation of reincarnates
    were Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
**[05:29] ---**
    Hashirama was Ashura.
    Madara was Indra.
**[05:32] ---**
    You know how they ended up.
**[05:36] ---**
    However, before Madara could end
    his life as a reincarnate,
**[05:39] ---**
    he created a certain problem.
**[05:41] ---**
    Madara was so obsessed with power
    that he stole some of Hashirama's.
**[05:46] ---**
    Which, in short,
    caused the merging
**[05:50] ---**
    of a portion of Ashura's chakra
    with Indra's chakra…
**[05:54] ---**
    And the result was that
    it became essentially, my own chakra.
**[05:59] ---**
    That's right,
    he awakened the Rinnegan.
**[06:05] ---**
    I always thought that someone
    like that would appear
**[06:08] ---**
    among either Indra
    or his reincarnates.
**[06:12] ---**
    Hence, I left behind
    the stone tablet
**[06:14] ---**
    that contained my writings
    on how to deal with this.
**[06:19] ---**
    Although, it seems no one could
    understand its meaning…
**[06:21] ---**
    So, Super Sage Gramps, you've been watching
**[06:24] ---**
    your kids' sibling rivalry
    all this time?
**[06:28] ---**
    Yes, I suppose you could say that.
**[06:32] ---**
    I see…
**[06:34] ---**
    Through Ninshu,
**[06:36] ---**
    I preached that chakra is the power
    that links individuals.
**[06:39] ---**
    I strongly believe that chakra
    should not be something
**[06:41] ---**
    that amplifies the strength
    of one person alone.
**[06:47] ---**
    Even after my mother, Kaguya,
    put an end to chaotic times,
**[06:51] ---**
    she ruled with her power alone.
**[06:55] ---**
    However, my mother's power
    bred arrogance within her.
**[06:57] ---**
    And mankind began to dread
    the existence of that power.
**[07:02] ---**
    That is why my mother,
    once known as the Rabbit Goddess,
**[07:05] ---**
    became feared as a demon.
**[07:10] ---**
    When power is concentrated
    in one person,
**[07:12] ---**
    that power runs rampant and
    in time, it possesses the person.
**[07:17] ---**
    The current Madara is
    a prime example of that…
**[07:19] ---**
    He's become just like
    my mother, Kaguya.
**[07:22] ---**
    Now, he's no longer
    Indra's incarnate.
**[07:25] ---**
    He's obtained Ten Tails' power
    and is getting close to me.
**[07:28] ---**
    And he is trying to obtain even
    my mother Kaguya's power.
**[07:32] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi doesn't
    just cast genjutsu over you.
**[07:37] ---**
    It keeps you trapped
    inside genjutsu dreams,
**[07:40] ---**
    so that the caster can use your
    individual power while keeping you alive.
**[07:43] ---**
    You're attached to the roots
    of the Divine Tree,
**[07:46] ---**
    and turned into living slaves.
**[07:49] ---**
    Mother possessed the power
    of Sharingan as well as Byakugan.
**[07:53] ---**
    She used her Visual Prowess to cast
    that jutsu upon the populace.
**[07:58] ---**
    It was a ghastly jutsu.
**[08:01] ---**
    If all chakra were to
    be reunited into one again,
**[08:04] ---**
    a new Chakra Fruit
    would take shape.
**[08:07] ---**
    That must be prevented
    at all costs…
**[08:10] ---**
    or this world will end.
**[08:14] ---**
    I would like you to stop Madara.
**[08:19] ---**
    Unlike the previous reincarnates,
    you tend to be a little bit of a fool.
**[08:23] ---**
    But there may be potential
    in your unpredictability.
**[08:29] ---**
    Even long after you died,
    you tried to protect the world…
**[08:32] ---**
    And even when
    it's turned out like this,
**[08:34] ---**
    you still have faith in us.
    Thank you.
**[08:38] ---**
    Don't thank me.
    I don't deserve it.
**[08:42] ---**
    If the current world desires Indra's,
    or rather, my mother's way…
**[08:48] ---**
    and if that's the natural flow…
**[08:50] ---**
    then I'm the one who's selfishly
    trying to go against it and stop it.
**[08:56] ---**
    Even in terms of how
    the Tailed Beasts are being used,
**[08:58] ---**
    not for maintaining peace and balance,
    but only as weapons…
**[09:04] ---**
    Perhaps my way is naïve.
**[09:07] ---**
    No!
**[09:08] ---**
    You're not wrong, Super Gramps!
**[09:11] ---**
    You're absolutely right, old man!
**[09:17] ---**
    Oh, aren't you Gaara's?
**[09:20] ---**
    Why are you inside of me?
**[09:22] ---**
    You see, Obito…
**[09:24] ---**
    Octopops!
**[09:26] ---**
    He extracted a portion of Shukaku's
    and my chakra from Madara.
**[09:30] ---**
    He knew exactly which Tailed Beast
    powers you were lacking, that guy!
**[09:36] ---**
    Obito did that?
**[09:37] ---**
    A lot of things happened.
**[09:39] ---**
    He even put me inside of you.
**[09:42] ---**
    Now you've got the chakra of all
    nine Tailed Beasts within you, Naruto!
**[09:48] ---**
    Even you?
    The other half of Kurama?
**[09:50] ---**
    The promised time has
    finally come, old man Six Paths!
**[09:55] ---**
    You're right, my dear Kurama…
**[09:58] ---**
    Just as Gamamaru prophesied…
**[10:00] ---**
    a blue-eyed youth who can name all
    nine beasts and frolic among them.
**[10:04] ---**
    Prophesied? You mean the prophecy
    Giant Gramps Sage passed on
**[10:07] ---**
    to the Pervy Sage?
**[10:08] ---**
    Gamamaru is his real name?
**[10:11] ---**
    You're pretty awesome because
    you know that, Super Gramps!
**[10:14] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[10:19] ---**
    You truly have the ability
    to win other's cooperation.
**[10:23] ---**
    You managed to summon my soul.
**[10:26] ---**
    And accepted that Ashura has
    reincarnated inside of you.
**[10:37] ---**
    Shukaku.
**[10:38] ---**
    Matatabi.
**[10:40] ---**
    Isobu.
**[10:41] ---**
    Son Goku.
**[10:42] ---**
    Kokuo.
**[10:44] ---**
    Saiken.
**[10:45] ---**
    Chomei.
**[10:46] ---**
    Gyuki.
**[10:47] ---**
    Kurama.
**[10:53] ---**
    It seems the time has come…
**[10:55] ---**
    for the child of prophecy
    to change the world.
**[11:00] ---**
    My dear Naruto…
**[11:03] ---**
    What do you want to do?
**[11:05] ---**
    What do you seek for
    the aftermath of this war?
**[11:09] ---**
    I would like to hear
    your honest thoughts and opinions.
**[11:15] ---**
    Maybe I'm really like
    this Ashura guy.
**[11:19] ---**
    Only…unlike him,
    I'm just a stupid kid
**[11:22] ---**
    who doesn't know much
    about a lot of things.
**[11:25] ---**
    But, I do know what friends are.
**[11:28] ---**
    And I want to protect them all.
**[11:30] ---**
    That's it.
**[11:34] ---**
    Is that your answer?
**[11:37] ---**
    Yeah…
**[11:38] ---**
    Long ago, I entrusted
    everything to Ashura and
**[11:42] ---**
    cast my attention away
    from Indra.
**[11:46] ---**
    That proved to be
    the source of calamity.
**[11:51] ---**
    Put out your dominant arm.
**[11:53] ---**
    This time, I am also entrusting
    my power to you, Indra's reincarnate.
**[12:01] ---**
    From this point on,
    Naruto and Sasuke…
**[12:05] ---**
    What you both shall do,
    and what shall transpire,
**[12:08] ---**
    will be up to the two of you.
**[12:13] ---**
    Naruto and I…
**[12:15] ---**
    Sasuke and I…
**[12:17] ---**
    …may not be real brothers,
**[12:19] ---**
    but I really believe that
    we can make peace.
**[12:22] ---**
    Because we're pretty good friends.
**[12:29] ---**
    Now then…
**[13:03] ---**
    Hey, Kabuto!
**[13:04] ---**
    Sasuke's… Sasuke's going
    to be okay, right?
**[13:11] ---**
    Hey, say something, you—!
**[13:20] ---**
    Obito!
**[13:22] ---**
    Is Naruto all right?
**[13:24] ---**
    Naruto the Jinchuriki will die if
    his Tailed Beast is extracted…
**[13:31] ---**
    But I put the Tailed Beast
    back inside him.
**[13:33] ---**
    He should be okay now.
**[13:50] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[13:52] ---**
    Naruto!
**[13:58] ---**
    – Time to go.
    – Time to go.
**[14:09] ---**
    You're the first since Hashirama
    to make me feel this excited!
**[14:12] ---**
    Can you still dance?
**[14:14] ---**
    Do you have any other techniques?
**[14:17] ---**
    Give me some more fun!
**[14:19] ---**
    *This guy…even after*
    *a barrage of Sekizo…!*
**[14:33] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[14:35] ---**
    Even that…didn't work…
**[14:45] ---**
    *Sekizo…isn't enough!*
**[14:49] ---**
    This is great!
**[14:51] ---**
    Keep on dancing!
**[14:57] ---**
    *All that's left…is Night Guy!*
**[15:19] ---**
    Given the state of
    his heart's Chakra Point,
**[15:21] ---**
    this will be his final attack…
**[15:28] ---**
    Charge!
**[15:32] ---**
    That stance is not the Sekizo!
**[15:34] ---**
    Don't tell me he has something
    even greater!
**[15:40] ---**
    Guy!
**[15:44] ---**
    *Come on, Dad, hurry!*
**[15:46] ---**
    *There's no need to rush.*
**[15:47] ---**
    *The Academy isn't going*
    *to run away, is it?*
**[15:49] ---**
    *There's a set time for*
    *entrance applications.*
**[15:55] ---**
    *Oh, nice to meet you!*
**[15:57] ---**
    *My son will be attending*
    *the Academy.*
**[16:00] ---**
    *Dad…*
**[16:02] ---**
    *I hope those two*
    *will get along okay.*
**[16:04] ---**
    *I'm afraid that will*
    *be impossible!*
**[16:06] ---**
    *Huh? What a thing to say!*
**[16:08] ---**
    *Are you one of*
    *those monster parents?!*
**[16:11] ---**
    *No, Dad… You're wrong.*
**[16:12] ---**
    *He failed the Academy*
    *entrance exam.*
**[16:17] ---**
    *Oh, pardon me! I just assumed*
    *since you were in front of the Academy.*
**[16:23] ---**
    *Don't worry about it!*
**[16:25] ---**
    *Uh, I don't think it's anything*
    *to be laughing about.*
**[16:27] ---**
    *Hey, Kakashi, don't be rude.*
**[16:29] ---**
    *But Dad, you were a lot ruder*
    *just a minute ago.*
**[16:33] ---**
    *I mean, this guy is trying*
    *to get in to the Academy*
**[16:37] ---**
    *even though he can't*
    *use ninjutsu.*
**[16:41] ---**
    *Oops, we should get going,*
    *or we're going to be late.*
**[16:44] ---**
    *Right.*
**[16:47] ---**
    *Excuse me.*
**[16:50] ---**
    *Your name's Kakashi Hatake, right?*
**[16:55] ---**
    *Thank you for your support!*
**[17:08] ---**
    *Kakashi…*
**[17:10] ---**
    *Don't slack off just because*
    *you got into the Academy.*
**[17:15] ---**
    *At the rate he's training,*
**[17:17] ---**
    *that boy will become*
    *stronger than you.*
**[17:19] ---**
    *He will?*
**[17:22] ---**
    *They haven't announced*
    *the alternates yet, have they?*
**[17:24] ---**
    *The Academy isn't dumb.*
**[17:26] ---**
    *You should ask what his name is*
    *and remember it.*
**[17:30] ---**
    *What…?*
**[17:31] ---**
    *He'll be a good rival for you.*
**[17:35] ---**
    *Hey, you!*
**[17:39] ---**
    *What's your name?*
**[17:46] ---**
    *Might Guy!*
**[17:47] ---**
    *I'm going to become stronger*
    *than anyone around!*
**[18:00] ---**
    *You actually had perfect timing*
    *for once…*
**[18:04] ---**
    *Are you all right, Kakashi?!*
**[18:07] ---**
    *Dad, it ended up exactly*
    *as you predicted.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Guy!*
**[18:18] ---**
    I'll acknowledge
    this chakra of yours!
**[18:21] ---**
    Of all those who have
    fought me over the years,
**[18:24] ---**
    there's no one
    who surpasses you at taijutsu!
**[18:27] ---**
    I, Madara, declare you the strongest!
**[18:31] ---**
    Flow!
**[18:40] ---**
    *He's fast!*
**[18:42] ---**
    *What?!*
    *He's bending space?*
**[18:46] ---**
    Night Guy!
**[19:23] ---**
    Guy Sensei?
**[19:26] ---**
    *That was Guy's final move!*
**[19:29] ---**
    *What happened?*
**[19:49] ---**
    I almost died, you bastard!
**[20:02] ---**
    Your flame is about to go out…
**[20:04] ---**
    But in gratitude for
    such a great time,
**[20:08] ---**
    I'll finish you off…
**[20:10] ---**
    before you turn to ash
    on your own!
**[20:20] ---**
    *He kicked away my Truthseeker Orb?!*
**[20:26] ---**
    Bushier Brow Sensei…
**[20:45] ---**
    Naruto…?
**[20:47] ---**
    *You seem a little different*
    *from before.*
**[20:52] ---**
    *What did Obito do?*
**[20:54] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:56] ---**
    I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
**[21:00] ---**
    But I think I can change
    everything now!
**[22:37] ---**
    I know I just came back,
    but the next episode's an extra!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    It's been three years since
    I was back in the village,
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    and Konohamaru's pestering me
    to teach him a new jutsu!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    I guess I have no choice!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Well, I'll just have to teach him
    one amazing jutsu!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Ones Who Will Inherit"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Konohamaru, just GAAH it
    and BAM it!
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE ONES WHO WILL INHERIT
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:12] ---**
    There, all done!
**[00:13] ---**
    Everything is all nice and shiny!
**[00:19] ---**
    Wow, you cleaned Naruto's room.
**[00:22] ---**
    That's right.
    Naruto's been away for three years.
**[00:27] ---**
    Everything is spotless and
    ready to welcome him home!
**[00:46] ---**
    Naruto? Is that you, Naruto?!
**[00:53] ---**
    Long time no see…
**[00:54] ---**
    Sakura.
**[00:55] ---**
    Big Brother Naruto!
**[01:00] ---**
    Sexy Jutsu!
**[01:07] ---**
    Well? Not too bad in
    the curves department, huh?
**[01:12] ---**
    Konohamaru, I'm not a kid anymore…
**[01:16] ---**
    And you shouldn't be doing
    that kind of jutsu either…
**[01:21] ---**
    That jutsu is weak.
**[01:23] ---**
    Now watch my new Pervy Ninjutsu
    that I just developed!
**[01:28] ---**
    You idiot!
**[01:35] ---**
    Haven't you matured at all inside,
    have you?
**[03:09] ---**
    *The Ones Who Will Inherit*
    
    *
**[03:13] ---**
    Oh man, I thought you'd be
    a little impressed.
    
    
**[03:18] ---**
    Well, my training involved
    way more awesome jutsu.
**[03:21] ---**
    Just as I anticipated from you!
**[03:24] ---**
    It's all going according to plan!
**[03:26] ---**
    Plan?
**[03:35] ---**
    What happened here?!
**[03:37] ---**
    As you can see, I cleaned
    your house until it sparkled.
**[03:40] ---**
    Konohamaru,
    you're such a great guy!
**[03:43] ---**
    Yup! And I don't even
    expect you to teach me
**[03:46] ---**
    a new jutsu in return either!
**[03:47] ---**
    I have absolutely
    no ulterior motives!
**[03:51] ---**
    You are so obvious.
**[03:54] ---**
    All right then. I'm gonna
    teach you an amazing jutsu.
**[03:58] ---**
    All right!
**[03:59] ---**
    First, let me put my things way.
**[04:05] ---**
    Isn't that the outfit
    you used to wear?
**[04:07] ---**
    Yeah, it doesn't fit anymore.
**[04:10] ---**
    But I just can't part with it…
**[04:12] ---**
    So in other words,
    it's your treasure!
**[04:15] ---**
    It's sort of embarrassing
    when you put it that way…
**[04:25] ---**
    What I'm going to teach you
    isn't your run-of-the-mill jutsu.
**[04:30] ---**
    *Just what kind of Pervy Ninjutsu*
    *is it going to be?*
**[04:33] ---**
    Just hurry up and show me!
**[04:36] ---**
    The first step is rotation.
**[04:38] ---**
    Whoa! We're going to
    add motion, eh?!
**[04:42] ---**
    Next up is power.
**[04:45] ---**
    Attack with the risqué, eh?!
**[04:48] ---**
    And then finally, there's…
**[04:51] ---**
    There's more!
**[04:55] ---**
    Containment!
**[04:57] ---**
    The most points go to
    the best-expressed final pose, eh?!
**[05:01] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[05:04] ---**
    I mean,
    it's a Pervy Ninjutsu, right?
**[05:07] ---**
    It's more awesome than that.
**[05:10] ---**
    The jutsu I'm about to teach you
    is A-rank
**[05:11] ---**
    in it's degree of difficulty
    to master.
**[05:16] ---**
    An ultimate ninjutsu that hones
**[05:18] ---**
    chakra rotation,
    power and containment…
**[05:22] ---**
    It's called the Rasengan!
**[05:30] ---**
    Awesome!
**[05:32] ---**
    But I don't understand
    what's going on at all!
**[05:37] ---**
    Don't worry about that,
    because I'm gonna teach you.
**[05:42] ---**
    Besides, you can do this jutsu
    even if you're stupid!
**[05:45] ---**
    No kidding!
**[05:46] ---**
    Huh? Stupid?
**[05:49] ---**
    This training consists
    of three steps, total.
**[05:53] ---**
    First step, the water balloon.
**[05:55] ---**
    A water balloon?
**[05:57] ---**
    You have to GAAAH it,
    then BAM it, to burst it!
**[06:01] ---**
    Wow!
**[06:03] ---**
    So… How did you do that?!
**[06:05] ---**
    I just explained it.
**[06:07] ---**
    You have to GAAAH it,
    then BAM it, to burst it!
**[06:13] ---**
    I said…
**[06:14] ---**
    You have to GAAAH it, then BAM it!
**[06:17] ---**
    Simple, right?!
**[06:21] ---**
    Okay, do your best, Konohamaru.
**[06:25] ---**
    What? That's it?
**[06:27] ---**
    You're already leaving?!
**[06:29] ---**
    I have to train with Sakura now.
**[06:32] ---**
    But!
**[06:34] ---**
    Don't be a baby, Konohamaru.
**[06:38] ---**
    In anything you do, you've got to
    learn by doing and feeling.
**[06:43] ---**
    Besides…I have absolute faith…
    that you can do it!
**[06:49] ---**
    Big Brother Naruto…
**[06:54] ---**
    All right…
**[06:55] ---**
    I'm gonna do it!
**[06:58] ---**
    I'm gonna surprise you
    the next time you see me!
**[07:03] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:06] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:08] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:11] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:16] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:22] ---**
    Th-There's an emergency,
    Lady Fifth!
**[07:24] ---**
    What's all the fuss about?
**[07:25] ---**
    We've just gotten word that
    the Hidden Sand's Kazekage has been
**[07:28] ---**
    abducted by an organization
    known as the Akatsuki.
**[07:33] ---**
    *Gaara was—?!*
**[07:35] ---**
    Team Kakashi,
    I'm assigning you a new mission.
**[07:39] ---**
    You're to go to
    the Sand Village at once,
**[07:41] ---**
    find out what's going on there,
    and keep us informed.
**[07:45] ---**
    You're to remain there
    and follow their orders.
**[07:47] ---**
    Give them any backup they need.
**[07:48] ---**
    Right!
**[07:50] ---**
    GAAAH then BAM!
**[07:54] ---**
    The inside is rotating, but…
**[07:57] ---**
    Oh, there he is!
    Konohamaru!
**[07:59] ---**
    What's going on?
**[08:01] ---**
    It's terrible!
**[08:03] ---**
    Some guys called the Akatsuki
**[08:04] ---**
    kidnapped the Kazekage
    of the Hidden Sand!
**[08:07] ---**
    The Kazekage?
    Isn't he Big Bro's friend?
**[08:10] ---**
    Yeah… Naruto just left as part of
    the Hidden Leaf support team!
**[08:15] ---**
    Huh?!
**[08:17] ---**
    Awesome, eh?
**[08:18] ---**
    The minute he gets back,
**[08:20] ---**
    he gets picked for no less than
    an S-rank mission!
**[08:22] ---**
    Even though he's
    a genin just like us!
**[08:36] ---**
    I can't figure it out
    with just GAAAH and BAM!
**[08:39] ---**
    Hey! What are you doing,
    Konohamaru?
**[08:43] ---**
    How long have you guys
    been watching?!
**[08:49] ---**
    So that's the reason
    for those weird yells.
**[08:52] ---**
    Don't call them weird!
**[08:54] ---**
    Even I was a bit embarrassed…
**[08:57] ---**
    I mean what does
    GAAAH and BAM mean anyway?
**[09:00] ---**
    Why don't you try
    distancing yourself a bit?
**[09:05] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[09:06] ---**
    Well, Naruto does things
    intuitively, by feeling.
**[09:10] ---**
    Not everyone's like that.
**[09:12] ---**
    Yeah…
**[09:13] ---**
    Isn't there something else
    you can do?
**[09:16] ---**
    Well… The first step is rotation…
**[09:19] ---**
    He said I have to learn it
    through feeling.
**[09:23] ---**
    That's it.
**[09:24] ---**
    Konohamaru!
**[09:25] ---**
    Let's practice that first!
**[09:28] ---**
    O-Okay!
**[09:32] ---**
    Anyway, that's how it is.
    So please help!
**[09:35] ---**
    I don't really get it…
**[09:39] ---**
    But are you sure about this?
**[09:41] ---**
    Yes, please!
**[09:42] ---**
    It's absolutely necessary
    for the new jutsu.
**[09:46] ---**
    All right! I got it!
**[09:47] ---**
    You sold me with
    your determination.
**[09:50] ---**
    Come on!
**[09:57] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[10:04] ---**
    Well, Konohamaru?
**[10:06] ---**
    Well… Everything just…
**[10:09] ---**
    Okay, then…
**[10:10] ---**
    On to the next thing!
**[10:13] ---**
    Please help!
**[10:14] ---**
    Well, if that's the case…
**[10:16] ---**
    Come on!
**[10:18] ---**
    Human Boulder!
**[10:25] ---**
    All right! Next!
**[10:27] ---**
    Okay, Konohamaru!
**[10:29] ---**
    Go!
**[10:32] ---**
    Hold on a minute!
**[10:35] ---**
    But Hinata!
**[10:36] ---**
    This is for Konohamaru!
**[10:39] ---**
    It's not that.
**[10:41] ---**
    I can't use rotation.
**[10:44] ---**
    Then…
**[10:48] ---**
    I understand.
**[10:50] ---**
    Understand what?
**[10:52] ---**
    8 Trigrams Air Palm!
**[10:56] ---**
    This doesn't make sense!
**[11:00] ---**
    Idiot…idiot…
**[11:02] ---**
    KIBA INUZUKA
    CHOJI AKIMICHI
    HINATA HYUGA
    
**[11:05] ---**
    Next up…
**[11:06] ---**
    Wait!
**[11:07] ---**
    I can't keep doing this!
**[11:09] ---**
    You're right.
**[11:11] ---**
    Did you figure out something?
**[11:14] ---**
    No. Nothing.
**[11:16] ---**
    Did Big Bro Naruto
    tell you anything else?
**[11:19] ---**
    He said he taught me everything
    that was necessary.
**[11:22] ---**
    But all he taught me
    was the Sexy Jutsu…
**[11:28] ---**
    Wait a minute…
**[11:30] ---**
    What is it?
**[11:31] ---**
    He dissed my Sexy Jutsu
    and said it was weak.
**[11:35] ---**
    So maybe…
**[11:36] ---**
    If I heat up the sexiness,
    it will connect nicely!
**[11:40] ---**
    That's gotta be it, Konohamaru!
**[11:42] ---**
    I wonder about that…
**[11:44] ---**
    The problem is…
    how do you make it sexier?
**[11:50] ---**
    The one who holds the key…
    is that man!
**[11:59] ---**
    So anyway, that's how it is.
**[12:00] ---**
    I see…
    so you're practicing a new jutsu…
**[12:04] ---**
    But I've hit a wall…
**[12:06] ---**
    And in order to get over it,
    I need your help, Sensei.
**[12:13] ---**
    *It's so unlike Konohamaru*
    *to be so determined…*
**[12:16] ---**
    *Well, I have no choice*
    *but to do my best to help him!*
**[12:20] ---**
    I'll be happy to help you!
**[12:23] ---**
    So, what do you want to know?
**[12:25] ---**
    Sexiness!
**[12:26] ---**
    I want you to teach me
    all about sexiness!
**[12:30] ---**
    I see, all about sexiness…
**[12:34] ---**
    Wh-What?
**[12:35] ---**
    D-Did you say sexiness?!
**[12:38] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto used to say…
**[12:41] ---**
    If Old Man Jiraiya was
    the all-out open pervert…
**[12:45] ---**
    You're the closet pervert,
    Ebisu Sensei!
**[12:48] ---**
    *Naruto…and his big mouth!*
**[12:51] ---**
    You're the only one
    I can turn to, Sensei!
**[12:54] ---**
    I need that secret side of you,
    Sensei!
**[12:58] ---**
    But…
**[13:00] ---**
    We found it, Konohamaru!
**[13:03] ---**
    The secret textbook!
**[13:07] ---**
    Nooo!
**[13:09] ---**
    There's one here too!
**[13:10] ---**
    Nooo!
**[13:12] ---**
    Here too! Oh, and over here!
**[13:15] ---**
    Wow, so many…
**[13:18] ---**
    Talk about a secret fortress!
**[13:22] ---**
    There are stacks of textbooks
    in the attic!
**[13:25] ---**
    We gotta look under
    the floorboards too!
**[13:30] ---**
    Thank you, Ebisu Sensei!
**[13:33] ---**
    This is way more than
    we ever imagined!
**[13:35] ---**
    Now you can continue your training!
**[13:39] ---**
    Huh?!
**[13:42] ---**
    *That look…*
**[13:44] ---**
    *In the eyes of an innocent girl…*
    *The feeling she expressed was…*
**[13:51] ---**
    *…contempt.*
**[14:00] ---**
    Awesome! Look at how many
    different kinds there are!
**[14:03] ---**
    Closet perverts don't fool around,
    do they?
**[14:06] ---**
    I think I'm starting to see Sensei
    in a different light…
**[14:09] ---**
    The problem now is, that there are
    too many to choose from.
**[14:13] ---**
    How about this one?
**[14:18] ---**
    Well, the rotation is there…
**[14:20] ---**
    All right, here goes!
**[14:29] ---**
    You're really bad at that.
**[14:31] ---**
    Th-The real jutsu happens now!
**[14:36] ---**
    Here we go!
**[14:41] ---**
    No!
**[14:43] ---**
    This time I'll get it!
**[14:47] ---**
    Idiot…idiot!
**[14:53] ---**
    H-How's this?!
**[14:54] ---**
    This time, it's for real!
**[14:58] ---**
    Just now,
    something just went BLOOP.
**[15:00] ---**
    Yeah, it was different
    from the other times!
**[15:04] ---**
    That's right,
    when Big Bro Naruto shattered it…
**[15:11] ---**
    The surface went BLOOP
    like just now.
**[15:14] ---**
    Then try it again
    with more finesse!
**[15:17] ---**
    Okay!
**[15:19] ---**
    I'm gonna do this!
**[15:29] ---**
    How was that?!
**[15:32] ---**
    You did it, Konohamaru.
**[15:34] ---**
    It's sorta different, but…
**[15:39] ---**
    Okay, on to step two!
**[15:43] ---**
    It was worth it,
    training hard while
**[15:45] ---**
    while you were away at
    the Hidden Sand Village, Big Bro!
**[15:48] ---**
    Okay, this is the next step
    in training.
**[15:51] ---**
    For the second step…
**[15:52] ---**
    Use this!
**[15:55] ---**
    A rubber ball?
**[15:56] ---**
    Exactly. And you…
**[15:59] ---**
    …have to GUUUH it,
    then DOOON it, and burst it!
**[16:04] ---**
    – That's all!
    – Not that again!
**[16:06] ---**
    I had a hunch…
**[16:08] ---**
    But that's it for
    step two as well?!
**[16:11] ---**
    Don't say that, Konohamaru.
    This jutsu…
**[16:14] ---**
    …has to be learned by doing…right?
**[16:17] ---**
    See, you know what to do.
**[16:19] ---**
    I really wish I could supervise
    your training a little…
**[16:24] ---**
    You just got back and
    you're off on another mission?!
**[16:27] ---**
    We learned from this last mission
**[16:28] ---**
    that Orochimaru had a spy
    imbedded with Sasori.
**[16:32] ---**
    Orochimaru?!
**[16:34] ---**
    That means…
**[16:35] ---**
    If things go well,
    we may find a clue about Sasuke.
**[16:40] ---**
    We're gonna lure the spy out
    and make him talk!
**[16:43] ---**
    *He's so casual about it,*
**[16:44] ---**
    *but this mission has to be*
    *an A-rank or higher…*
**[16:48] ---**
    *Big Bro really is amazing.*
**[16:53] ---**
    I'm talented and
    I don't need your help, Big Bro!
**[16:57] ---**
    Good luck on your mission!
**[17:00] ---**
    Right!
**[17:01] ---**
    *I'm going to get better too!*
**[17:04] ---**
    *I'm gonna do it!*
**[17:07] ---**
    It's really hard, isn't it?
**[17:10] ---**
    The only thing
    you got right is power…
**[17:14] ---**
    The rubber ball is much harder
**[17:17] ---**
    and since there's no water inside,
    I can't grasp the feeling of it.
**[17:19] ---**
    So what'll we refer to next?
**[17:23] ---**
    I'm positive this one's better!
**[17:25] ---**
    No, it's this one for sure!
**[17:28] ---**
    My mom says guys have
    a weakness for extremes like this!
**[17:33] ---**
    It's gotta be this for power!
**[17:35] ---**
    I think this person looks strong.
**[17:39] ---**
    We can't seem to agree on this one.
**[17:44] ---**
    I see…
**[17:46] ---**
    So you lost some respect
    due to some occurrence…
**[17:50] ---**
    Yes… And I don't know
    what to do now…
**[17:53] ---**
    It's okay… Everyone makes mistakes.
**[17:57] ---**
    There are always opportunities
    to make it up.
**[18:01] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[18:03] ---**
    So for now,
**[18:04] ---**
    let's just calmly support
    Konohamaru and his progress.
**[18:09] ---**
    There you are!
**[18:11] ---**
    I've been looking for you!
**[18:13] ---**
    Perfect timing.
    We were just talking about you.
**[18:18] ---**
    There's something
    you have to teach us, Ebisu Sensei!
**[18:22] ---**
    Me?
**[18:24] ---**
    Isn't this wonderful Ebisu Sensei?
**[18:27] ---**
    You now have an opportunity
    to regain their trust.
**[18:31] ---**
    You guys!
**[18:33] ---**
    Don't tell me!
**[18:38] ---**
    I won't hold back…
**[18:43] ---**
    Which girl…
**[18:45] ---**
    …is number one.
**[18:46] ---**
    Please tell us!
**[18:54] ---**
    W-What?!
**[18:58] ---**
    D-Doing that in public!
**[19:02] ---**
    I will not tolerate
    such immoral behavior!
**[19:12] ---**
    What in the world
    are you fools doing?!
**[19:15] ---**
    But…
**[19:16] ---**
    To master my new jutsu,
    I had to make it way sexier…
**[19:21] ---**
    Is that true, Ebisu Sensei?
**[19:23] ---**
    I don't know.
**[19:25] ---**
    But a jutsu is
    a ninja's secret weapon!
**[19:29] ---**
    It's not something
    you activate recklessly,
**[19:31] ---**
    not even a Sexy Jutsu!
**[19:33] ---**
    You keep it hidden until
    the very last minute,
**[19:36] ---**
    and then release it…
**[19:37] ---**
    That's how you get
    the maximum result you desire!
**[19:40] ---**
    Keep it hidden until
    the very last minute,
**[19:42] ---**
    and then release it?
**[19:44] ---**
    Ebisu Sensei!
**[19:45] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[19:47] ---**
    Is this what you mean?
**[19:50] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:52] ---**
    Hide it, GUUUUH it, then…
**[20:00] ---**
    That definitely looked powerful!
**[20:02] ---**
    Awesome!
**[20:03] ---**
    Leave it to Ebisu Sensei
    the closet perv!
**[20:06] ---**
    I can do it!
**[20:08] ---**
    Hide it GUUUUH it, then…
**[20:12] ---**
    BAM!
**[20:15] ---**
    It expanded instantly that time!
**[20:17] ---**
    That had an effect!
**[20:19] ---**
    But it still didn't burst!
**[20:22] ---**
    *Big Bro Naruto is*
    *so far ahead of me.*
**[20:26] ---**
    *Even now,*
    *he's trying to progress.*
**[20:30] ---**
    *And I must too!*
**[20:36] ---**
    Ouch!
**[20:37] ---**
    Are you okay, Konohamaru?!
**[20:42] ---**
    This is bad. Your hand is a mess
    from all that compressed chakra…
**[20:47] ---**
    I'll take care of it right now.
**[20:48] ---**
    It was bound to
    take its toll on you…
**[20:50] ---**
    You've been training
    for days on end.
**[20:59] ---**
    Damn it!
**[22:37] ---**
    I wasn't strong enough
    to bring him back.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    This time, I'll surpass Sasuke
    with my Wind Chakra!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    As expected, you're so cool Naruto!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    That's why you're my rival!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    And what about you, Konohamaru?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Naruto's Rival."
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Here I go!
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Hold it in, GUUUH it, and…
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    BAM!
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    NARUTO'S RIVAL
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Naruto's Rival*
    
    
**[01:34] ---**
    This is so annoying.
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    Orochimaru gets away when
    he was almost within our grasp;
**[01:40] ---**
    the Akatsuki's movements
    are as suspicious as ever…
**[01:44] ---**
    There's been no good news
    at all lately.
**[01:46] ---**
    Isn't there anything fun going on?
**[01:49] ---**
    Well…
**[01:51] ---**
    Oh, Konohamaru came to
    the hospital yesterday.
**[01:56] ---**
    What's fun about that?
**[02:00] ---**
    His fists were terribly bruised
    from his own chakra.
**[02:05] ---**
    It seems Naruto is teaching him
    the Rasengan.
**[02:10] ---**
    Oh…
**[02:12] ---**
    That's interesting.
**[02:14] ---**
    What's your pick?
**[02:15] ---**
    Huh?
**[02:17] ---**
    Will he master it? Or not?
**[02:19] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[02:20] ---**
    Come on…
**[02:22] ---**
    It's just a diversion.
**[02:27] ---**
    Hold it in, GUUUH it, and…
**[02:29] ---**
    BAM!
**[02:31] ---**
    – That's it!
    – That's it!
**[02:33] ---**
    I-I did it! All right!
**[02:36] ---**
    I did it!
**[02:39] ---**
    That was awesome, Konohamaru.
**[02:41] ---**
    I can't just stand around here.
**[02:43] ---**
    We have to find Big Bro Naruto!
**[02:46] ---**
    Speaking of Naruto…
**[02:49] ---**
    We haven't seen him around lately.
**[02:52] ---**
    Oh, I heard he just returned
    a little bit ago.
**[02:56] ---**
    I overheard…
**[02:58] ---**
    His last mission didn't go well.
**[03:02] ---**
    Huh? Really?
**[03:03] ---**
    If that's true…
**[03:05] ---**
    We shouldn't bother him now.
**[03:09] ---**
    Konohamaru.
**[03:11] ---**
    No worries!
**[03:13] ---**
    I know Big Bro Naruto!
    He's not like that.
**[03:20] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei,
    have you seen Naruto?
**[03:23] ---**
    Oh, he's over there.
**[03:29] ---**
    Hey, you guys!
**[03:31] ---**
    You were right.
    He's more cheerful than I expected.
**[03:34] ---**
    See! I told you so!
**[03:39] ---**
    Sorry I didn't come around.
    Lots of things happened…
**[03:44] ---**
    I heard.
**[03:46] ---**
    You weren't able to catch the spy.
**[03:49] ---**
    Yeah. Turned out, there was
    something bigger lying in wait.
**[03:54] ---**
    Are you talking about Orochimaru?!
**[03:59] ---**
    We found one of their hideouts,
    and we also found Sasuke.
**[04:04] ---**
    But…
**[04:08] ---**
    I wasn't strong enough
    to bring him back.
**[04:12] ---**
    So, I have no choice
    but to get stronger, right?
**[04:17] ---**
    That's why you're training?
**[04:19] ---**
    Yeah.
**[04:20] ---**
    I'm just about to move on
    to the next step.
**[04:23] ---**
    This time…
**[04:28] ---**
    I'll surpass Sasuke
    with my Wind Chakra!
**[04:31] ---**
    Awesome!
**[04:32] ---**
    As expected, you're so cool Naruto!
**[04:35] ---**
    That's why you're my rival!
**[04:38] ---**
    And what about you, Konohamaru?
    How're you doing?
**[04:43] ---**
    Well, just watch me!
**[04:48] ---**
    Here I go!
**[04:49] ---**
    Hold it in, GUUUH it, and…
**[04:53] ---**
    BAM!
**[04:57] ---**
    S-Sir, what in the world going on?!
**[05:00] ---**
    Hmm…I wonder…
**[05:05] ---**
    How was that?!
**[05:07] ---**
    Uh…yeah…
    You did well…
**[05:09] ---**
    I sense doubt in your voice!
**[05:12] ---**
    Hey, I did it properly.
**[05:15] ---**
    Yeah, you did, but…
**[05:17] ---**
    Why are you using a Sexy Jutsu?
**[05:21] ---**
    I'm just honoring
    what you taught me…
**[05:23] ---**
    and keeping it at
    the utmost sexiness that I can.
**[05:24] ---**
    What else?!
**[05:26] ---**
    Sexiness?
**[05:29] ---**
    The sensation of rotating chakra
    can only be learned with your body…
**[05:34] ---**
    And I already showed you
    the importance of perseverance…
**[05:37] ---**
    …and stuff like that, right?
**[05:39] ---**
    I didn't understand one little bit!
    Tell me in easy words!
**[05:43] ---**
    Now I feel like I polished
    an unnecessary skill!
**[05:47] ---**
    Now, now…
**[05:49] ---**
    Everything turned out okay.
**[05:52] ---**
    Anyways, can I go on to
    the next step in training?
**[05:56] ---**
    Yes!
**[05:57] ---**
    It's the final leg from here on…
    For the third step…
**[06:04] ---**
    Use this.
**[06:05] ---**
    Wait a minute.
**[06:07] ---**
    What now?
    Just listen!
**[06:10] ---**
    I can't do Shadow Clones…
**[06:16] ---**
    Damn it…
**[06:18] ---**
    Okay then,
    we'll do Shadow Clones first.
**[06:20] ---**
    Watch closely…
**[06:21] ---**
    With Shadow Clones,
**[06:24] ---**
    you go DOWAAH with your body…
**[06:28] ---**
    …like so!
**[06:30] ---**
    Okay? Think you can do it?
**[06:32] ---**
    Not again.
    So that's the entire explanation…
**[06:36] ---**
    You have to master this in order to
    go on with the training.
**[06:39] ---**
    Do your best, Konohamaru!
**[06:41] ---**
    I wouldn't take it easy
    if I were you, Bro.
**[06:45] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[06:46] ---**
    We're both rivals,
    working on a new jutsu.
**[06:52] ---**
    So who's gonna master it first?
**[06:57] ---**
    I challenge you!
**[07:01] ---**
    How fun.
    I accept your challenge!
**[07:07] ---**
    Okay then…
**[07:08] ---**
    Let's go, Moegi, Udon!
**[07:16] ---**
    All right! I'm not gonna lose!
**[07:20] ---**
    Go for it, Konohamaru!
**[07:29] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[07:34] ---**
    I couldn't do it.
**[07:37] ---**
    *I need more chakra…*
**[07:44] ---**
    Hah!
**[07:47] ---**
    Okay, next one!
**[07:48] ---**
    Let's go!
**[07:52] ---**
    Hah!
**[08:08] ---**
    All right!
**[08:15] ---**
    What is this?
**[08:19] ---**
    Oh, octopus tentacles?
**[08:31] ---**
    How about calling it a day?
**[08:34] ---**
    Not yet!
**[08:36] ---**
    I just need a little break.
**[08:39] ---**
    – Konohamaru…
    – Konohamaru…
**[08:46] ---**
    Konohamaru…
**[08:50] ---**
    He fell asleep.
**[08:54] ---**
    Coming!
**[08:57] ---**
    Oh, what's up?
**[08:58] ---**
    We heard that you were making
    food pills for Big Bro Naruto…
**[09:04] ---**
    Please!
**[09:06] ---**
    Can you teach us the recipe?
**[09:11] ---**
    Sure.
**[09:13] ---**
    All right!
**[09:17] ---**
    I was just making some.
**[09:19] ---**
    If you help, you can have some.
**[09:21] ---**
    – Yes!
    – Yes!
**[09:22] ---**
    Okay, I need you to
    mash up this and this.
**[09:25] ---**
    – Okay!
    – Okay!
**[09:28] ---**
    I hear Konohamaru is training hard.
**[09:32] ---**
    Yes…
**[09:33] ---**
    He wants to beat Big Bro Naruto.
**[09:35] ---**
    He's really working hard.
**[09:38] ---**
    Almost too hard.
**[09:40] ---**
    Then he'll probably stay out there…
    Naruto's not going home either.
**[09:51] ---**
    It's no wonder you want to help.
**[09:53] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[09:56] ---**
    But…
**[09:58] ---**
    But…
**[10:00] ---**
    At the same time,
    it makes me uneasy…
**[10:04] ---**
    Maybe more like anxious…
**[10:07] ---**
    Konohamaru is
    chasing after Naruto…
**[10:10] ---**
    and he's getting farther
    and farther away from us.
**[10:13] ---**
    You're afraid of being left behind?
**[10:15] ---**
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
**[10:17] ---**
    I was like that
    when I was your age.
**[10:20] ---**
    I really wanted to catch up.
**[10:22] ---**
    That's why I became
    Lady Tsunade's apprentice.
**[10:24] ---**
    I'm sure you'll find it too…
    Your goals, your mentors…
**[10:29] ---**
    And your rivals.
**[10:31] ---**
    – Uh-huh!
    – Uh-huh!
**[10:37] ---**
    So gross!
**[10:39] ---**
    Don't give up, Konohamaru!
**[10:41] ---**
    Suck it up!
**[10:42] ---**
    All right! Here I go!
**[10:46] ---**
    All right!
**[10:53] ---**
    I did it!
**[10:54] ---**
    – Yay!
    – Yay!
**[10:57] ---**
    Congratulations, Konohamaru!
**[10:59] ---**
    You made it!
**[11:00] ---**
    – Yay!
    – Yay!
**[11:03] ---**
    Huh?
    It disappeared?!
**[11:06] ---**
    You're still having a hard time
    sustaining them.
**[11:10] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto!
**[11:14] ---**
    Don't tell me you—?!
**[11:15] ---**
    Too bad, Konohamaru.
**[11:18] ---**
    I win this time.
**[11:20] ---**
    No way!
    I was almost there!
**[11:24] ---**
    I won't lose next time!
**[11:25] ---**
    I swear, you'll be so surprised,
    you'll be speechless!
**[11:29] ---**
    Okay do your best…
**[11:30] ---**
    Anyway, I'm moving on
    to my next training.
**[11:39] ---**
    I see…
**[11:40] ---**
    Contact those involved immediately.
**[11:45] ---**
    Damn Akatsuki…
**[11:50] ---**
    I saw it…
**[11:52] ---**
    *Whoa!*
**[11:54] ---**
    I saw what Big Bro Naruto
    is training for.
**[11:57] ---**
    He's working on an awesome jutsu
    that'll be his alone!
**[12:01] ---**
    Are you serious?!
**[12:04] ---**
    You're here… Konohamaru.
**[12:06] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:17] ---**
    Asuma Sarutobi is…
**[12:51] ---**
    Asuma…
**[12:53] ---**
    Uncle Asuma…
**[13:00] ---**
    *I see…Big Brother Naruto*
    *has already decided…*
**[13:05] ---**
    *But…*
**[13:09] ---**
    *But I…*
**[13:12] ---**
    Hey, where are you going?
**[13:14] ---**
    I'm going to train.
**[13:18] ---**
    Konohamaru…
**[13:20] ---**
    If you're thinking about revenge…
**[13:23] ---**
    I know!
**[13:25] ---**
    I know it's impossible
    for me right now.
**[13:28] ---**
    But Big Bro Naruto
    intends on going.
**[13:31] ---**
    He'll probably perfect…
**[13:34] ---**
    …his new jutsu in time.
**[13:36] ---**
    – Wait up!
    – Wait up!
**[13:40] ---**
    I've got to catch up
    to Big Bro!
**[13:46] ---**
    Thank you for coming!
**[13:47] ---**
    Thank you, it was delicious!
**[13:56] ---**
    You're finally getting
    the hang of Shadow Clones.
**[14:05] ---**
    Let's go, Big Bro Naruto!
**[14:09] ---**
    Sexy Onnanoko Tachi Jutsu!
**[14:11] ---**
    Oh!
**[14:13] ---**
    So that's what you've got!
**[14:17] ---**
    I wasn't expecting a love triangle.
**[14:19] ---**
    See! The sexiness paid off!
**[14:22] ---**
    Hey Bro,
    don't rest on your laurels, eh?
**[14:24] ---**
    Maybe not.
**[14:26] ---**
    But I'm still in the lead!
**[14:29] ---**
    And I won't lose!
**[14:33] ---**
    Are you ready? We'll start
    step three of the Rasengan!
**[14:38] ---**
    Okay!
**[14:42] ---**
    Why're they making
    Shadow Clones?
**[14:46] ---**
    Rasengan is supposed to be
    released by one person.
**[14:49] ---**
    Well, Naruto is the teacher…
**[14:52] ---**
    Still, aren't you happy,
    Lady Tsunade?
**[14:55] ---**
    Huh?
**[14:56] ---**
    It seems you were right to
    bet on him not mastering it.
**[15:00] ---**
    U-Uh-huh.
**[15:02] ---**
    Don't judge people arbitrarily.
**[15:05] ---**
    The Rasengan is a damn hard jutsu.
**[15:10] ---**
    Well, Lord Fourth
    invented it after all.
**[15:15] ---**
    And it was passed down to Jiraiya,
**[15:16] ---**
    then Naruto and now,
    to Konohamaru.
**[15:22] ---**
    Life is worth living, after all.
**[15:25] ---**
    And where will it take us next?
**[15:27] ---**
    I hope we'll be around
    to see it through!
**[15:31] ---**
    The next generation, huh?
**[15:35] ---**
    The passing of time
    is interesting, isn't it?
**[15:42] ---**
    You didn't forget anything,
    did you?
**[15:44] ---**
    You won't be coming home
    for a while.
**[15:45] ---**
    Don't worry. I'm packed and ready…
**[15:49] ---**
    Hey, stop it!
**[15:51] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto!
**[15:54] ---**
    Hey, Konohamaru!
    Did you come to see me off?
**[15:57] ---**
    I have a complaint!
**[15:59] ---**
    How can you leave
    on a training journey
**[16:01] ---**
    before I've mastered the Rasengan?!
**[16:04] ---**
    It's your fault for dawdling.
**[16:08] ---**
    Okay then!
**[16:09] ---**
    I'll have it under my belt
    by the time you get back
**[16:11] ---**
    and I'll be real strong!
**[16:13] ---**
    And I'm gonna be strong too!
**[16:17] ---**
    By the way, I have a favor to ask.
**[16:20] ---**
    What is it?
**[16:21] ---**
    It's going to be a long journey,
**[16:23] ---**
    so I want to entrust that thing
    to you while I'm gone.
**[16:26] ---**
    You mean your treasure, Big Bro?!
**[16:30] ---**
    Shhh!!
**[16:32] ---**
    How long are you going to
    stand around and talk?!
**[16:34] ---**
    Okay, okay. I'm going.
**[16:38] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Konohamaru.
**[16:41] ---**
    You got it!
**[16:46] ---**
    Found it!
**[16:49] ---**
    Now, I'll take this home and…
**[16:51] ---**
    No…
**[16:53] ---**
    I might as well…
**[16:57] ---**
    I wonder how Big Bro is doing now.
**[17:02] ---**
    He's probably training
    with all his Shadow Clones.
**[17:06] ---**
    Yeah, Big Bro has that option.
**[17:10] ---**
    *I have to hurry and*
    *perfect my Rasengan too.*
**[17:16] ---**
    What was that?
**[17:23] ---**
    The village is under attack…
**[17:25] ---**
    Udon! Moegi!
**[17:27] ---**
    We have to return to
    the village now!
**[17:41] ---**
    Everyone!
    Hurry to the evacuation shelter!
**[17:50] ---**
    You sure went at it, didn't you?
**[17:53] ---**
    I will not forgive
    a lowlife like you!
**[17:57] ---**
    *Ebisu Sensei!*
**[17:59] ---**
    *Get away now, Konohamaru!*
**[18:15] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto…
**[18:19] ---**
    We're rivals now!
**[18:22] ---**
    One day, I'll duel with you
    for the title of Hokage…
**[18:26] ---**
    So look forward to that day,
    Konohamaru!
**[18:35] ---**
    Die…
**[18:46] ---**
    Long ago I made a promise.
**[18:50] ---**
    So I won't take the easy way out!
**[18:55] ---**
    Because Big Bro Naruto won't be
    waiting at the end of that road!
**[19:10] ---**
    I bear the name of
    the exalted Sarutobi Clan!
**[19:13] ---**
    I am the genin known as
    Konohamaru Sarutobi!
**[19:16] ---**
    Remember me!
**[19:20] ---**
    We did it!
    We did it!
**[19:31] ---**
    I heard, Konohamaru.
    You took down one of the Pains!
**[19:36] ---**
    I wasn't determined to catch up
    to you just for fun, you know!
**[19:41] ---**
    But that was nothing compared to
    how you saved the entire village.
**[19:45] ---**
    That's not true.
**[19:47] ---**
    Besides, there were
    many things I couldn't protect.
**[19:52] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto…
**[19:54] ---**
    There's something
    I want to show you!
**[19:58] ---**
    Hey!
**[20:00] ---**
    Where are you going?
**[20:01] ---**
    Just follow me!
**[20:05] ---**
    Here!
**[20:07] ---**
    Why'd you bring me to
    the evacuation shelter?
**[20:09] ---**
    We're going just up further!
**[20:17] ---**
    The valuables warehouse?
**[20:19] ---**
    And…
    this is my family's storage space.
**[20:26] ---**
    Tadah!
**[20:32] ---**
    This…
**[20:33] ---**
    …it's my jacket…
**[20:36] ---**
    It's a precious treasure.
**[20:38] ---**
    So I brought it here just in case.
**[20:41] ---**
    I kept my promise!
**[20:43] ---**
    Konohamaru… You're a great kid!
**[20:48] ---**
    I know!
**[20:50] ---**
    One day, I'm gonna challenge you
    for the Hokage's seat!
**[20:54] ---**
    So, from now on,
    consider me your rival!
**[20:58] ---**
    All right!
**[22:38] ---**
    I can feel it clearly,
    even from here.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    The other half of
    Super Gramps' power.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    You cannot take me down.
    I am essentially immortal now.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    I have obtained eternity.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    You idiot.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I ain't taking you down.
    We will take you down.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**

**[00:15] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[00:18] ---**
    *That was Guy's final move!*
**[00:22] ---**
    *What happened?*
**[00:42] ---**
    I almost died, you bastard!
**[00:51] ---**
    Your flame is about to go out.
**[00:55] ---**
    But in gratitude for
    such a great time,
**[00:59] ---**
    I'll finish you off before you turn
    to ash on your own!
**[01:09] ---**
    *He kicked away*
    *my Truthseeker Orb?!*
**[01:15] ---**
    Bushier Brow Sensei…
**[01:34] ---**
    Naruto…
**[01:36] ---**
    You seem a little different
    from before.
**[01:41] ---**
    *What did Obito do?*
**[01:43] ---**
    Yeah…
**[01:45] ---**
    I'm still trying
    to figure it out myself.
**[01:49] ---**
    But I think I can change
    everything now!
**[03:22] ---**
    *To Rise Up*
    
    
**[03:54] ---**
    *That node's chakra hasn't gone out.*
**[03:57] ---**
    *What's going on?*
    *What did he do?*
**[04:11] ---**
    *Don't tell me he stopped
    *the end result of the Eight Gates?!*
**[04:29] ---**
    *He touched the Truthseeker Orb,*
    *so how can he—?*
**[04:33] ---**
    *Is it because*
    *I haven't finished healing yet?*
**[04:37] ---**
    *No!*
**[04:39] ---**
    *His power is suddenly growing?!*
**[04:42] ---**
    *Son!*
**[04:42] ---**
    *Lend me some of your chakra, okay?*
**[04:45] ---**
    All right!
**[04:56] ---**
    Sage Art: Lava Style Rasen Shuriken!
**[05:03] ---**
    Th-This is bad!
**[05:05] ---**
    Limbo!
**[05:08] ---**
    *What?! He dodged…my Limbo?!*
**[05:16] ---**
    All right!
**[05:21] ---**
    Burst!
**[05:59] ---**
    *The tree's been severed!*
**[06:20] ---**
    *Take me within you.*
**[06:24] ---**
    *Who is that?!*
**[06:27] ---**
    *Take the Divine Tree…*
**[06:30] ---**
    *Ten Tails…*
**[06:33] ---**
    *…everything, into you.*
**[06:46] ---**
    Did Naruto do it?
**[06:49] ---**
    Guy Sensei is over there too!
**[07:58] ---**
    The tree disappeared!
**[08:08] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[08:10] ---**
    Bushier Brow Sensei
    is gonna be okay!
**[08:12] ---**
    He's not gonna die!
**[08:15] ---**
    Naruto, you healed him?
**[08:17] ---**
    But I thought he had activated
    all Eight Gates…
**[08:21] ---**
    I feel like I can
    do all sorts of things…
**[08:24] ---**
    the way I am right now!
**[08:33] ---**
    *He touched Madara's rods,*
    *but he wasn't affected…*
**[08:39] ---**
    *What happened to him*
    *while he was dying?*
**[08:45] ---**
    Can you teleport, Lord Second?
**[08:52] ---**
    I see…
**[08:54] ---**
    Yeah… Since I'm linked to
    the Fourth's markings.
**[08:59] ---**
    But unfortunately…
**[09:01] ---**
    At my current strength,
    I can only teleport one person.
**[09:04] ---**
    That's plenty.
**[09:06] ---**
    I alone need to go.
**[09:09] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[09:12] ---**
    *His wind…*
    *has gotten even stronger.*
**[09:16] ---**
    Sasuke… I wanted to see where
    your wind would take you…
**[09:22] ---**
    But I've witnessed enough.
**[09:24] ---**
    In fact, from now on,
    we'll only be a burden to you.
**[09:31] ---**
    So we're not gonna be ordered
    around anymore.
**[09:34] ---**
    That sounds good to me too.
**[09:37] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[09:43] ---**
    Hey…
**[09:44] ---**
    Why are you trying
    to give up, guys?
**[09:49] ---**
    I… I…
**[10:06] ---**
    Bushy Brow and Gaara,
    take care of Bushier Brow Sensei.
**[10:09] ---**
    Naruto…
**[10:12] ---**
    Thank you for…Guy Sensei…
**[10:16] ---**
    Naruto…
**[10:21] ---**
    When you become Hokage,
    let's have a drink together.
**[10:28] ---**
    You got it!
**[10:36] ---**
    Is that Naruto?!
**[10:41] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[10:42] ---**
    *You…*
**[10:50] ---**
    You're an enemy.
**[10:52] ---**
    You hurt and killed
    many of my comrades…
**[10:56] ---**
    I don't want to say this, but…
**[11:00] ---**
    I'm going to consider you
    an ally just this once.
**[11:08] ---**
    Thank you for saving Naruto.
**[11:11] ---**
    I have one final favor to ask you.
**[11:15] ---**
    Not as an ally, but as an enemy…
**[11:26] ---**
    I understand now…
**[11:28] ---**
    The Divine Tree itself…
**[11:36] ---**
    The time has come
    for all to become one.
**[11:46] ---**
    *Is it because*
    *I met Super Gramps Sage*
**[11:48] ---**
    *and got more power from him?*
**[11:51] ---**
    *I can feel it clearly even*
    *from here…*
**[11:54] ---**
    *The other half of*
    *Super Gramps' power.*
**[11:57] ---**
    You cannot take me down.
**[12:00] ---**
    Essentially, I am completely immortal now.
**[12:03] ---**
    I have obtained eternity!
**[12:06] ---**
    You idiot!
**[12:07] ---**
    I'm not taking you down…
**[12:15] ---**
    *We're* gonna take you down!
**[12:19] ---**
    Your time has come, Madara.
**[12:25] ---**
    One has awakened
    the Six Paths' Senjutsu…
**[12:28] ---**
    and the other awakened
    the Rinnegan, huh?
**[12:32] ---**
    However…I possess
    both of those powers!
**[12:40] ---**
    This is the final battle!
**[12:43] ---**
    My powers versus yours…
**[12:47] ---**
    Let's settle who is superior,
    once and for all!
**[13:05] ---**
    *Sage Art:*
    *Shadow Style Thunder Blast!*
**[13:17] ---**
    Sasuke's gone?!
**[13:27] ---**
    *This left eye…*
**[13:29] ---**
    *So that's what it can do…*
**[13:31] ---**
    *Teleportation? This distance?*
**[13:34] ---**
    *No, he didn't teleport!*
**[13:41] ---**
    You should pay attention!
**[13:43] ---**
    *Limbo!*
**[13:46] ---**
    *What is that?!*
**[13:52] ---**
    *He did it again!*
**[13:54] ---**
    *Sage Art!*
**[13:56] ---**
    *Gale Style: Fang of Light!*
**[14:02] ---**
    *It's coming again!*
**[14:04] ---**
    *Over there!*
**[14:08] ---**
    *It didn't hit.*
**[14:16] ---**
    Sasuke, it's headed your way!
**[14:18] ---**
    Something I can't see is
    ambling around you.
**[14:21] ---**
    Oh yeah? I can see it clearly!
**[14:24] ---**
    *These guys can see my Limbo…*
**[14:30] ---**
    *It's…another Madara.*
**[14:38] ---**
    *So he can see it with his Rinnegan…*
**[14:42] ---**
    *And that one,*
    *can't see it but senses it…*
**[14:47] ---**
    Naruto!
**[14:49] ---**
    Looks like our physical attacks…
**[14:51] ---**
    have no effect on
    the other Madara.
**[14:55] ---**
    Yeah!
**[14:59] ---**
    *Normally, one shouldn't be able to*
    *sense or see it from this realm…*
**[15:05] ---**
    *That "me" exists in*
    *the invisible world of "Limbo."*
**[15:10] ---**
    *How did they both obtain*
    *such power so suddenly?*
**[15:16] ---**
    *That Sasuke Uchiha…*
**[15:18] ---**
    *He was the only one who*
    *awakened the straight pattern,*
**[15:21] ---**
    *Choku-Tomoe Sharingan*
    *just like mine.*
**[15:31] ---**
    *Perhaps Sasuke and I share*
    *a bond that goes beyond blood.*
**[15:37] ---**
    Well then…
**[15:38] ---**
    That left eye should suit me perfectly!
**[15:56] ---**
    *So, that's your left eye's*
    *ability as well.*
**[16:04] ---**
    Then try it.
**[16:09] ---**
    That's not enough to kill you, is it?
**[16:12] ---**
    So the Six Paths' Sage Chakra
    can affect
**[16:15] ---**
    the shadow Madara too, huh?
**[16:20] ---**
    *That wound on his right arm…*
**[16:24] ---**
    *is from blocking*
    *Naruto's first attack earlier.*
**[16:34] ---**
    It seems your shadow
    returns to your body
**[16:37] ---**
    after a certain amount of time.
**[16:39] ---**
    Naruto, when his shadow
    emerges again, go after it.
**[16:45] ---**
    I'll take on the visible one. However…
**[16:48] ---**
    I used to hate it when
    you would order me around…
**[16:51] ---**
    Some things never change, huh?
**[16:53] ---**
    Let me finish.
**[16:56] ---**
    This is our chance.
**[17:00] ---**
    Madara and his shadow
    will probably stay merged
**[17:03] ---**
    for a little while longer.
**[17:05] ---**
    I don't care what it is,
**[17:06] ---**
    but get a Sage Power Jutsu ready.
**[17:10] ---**
    One that seals movement.
**[17:13] ---**
    *Then you should use my chakra*
    *to build your Sealing Jutsu.*
**[17:18] ---**
    Thanks…ummm…
**[17:20] ---**
    *It's Shukaku!*
**[17:27] ---**
    *He's estimating the Limbo's duration,*
**[17:30] ---**
    *activation interval*
    *and how to counter it…*
**[17:34] ---**
    *He's got a sharp intuition,*
**[17:36] ---**
    *calm analyzing and*
    *judgment skills,*
**[17:39] ---**
    *and a Choku-Tomoe Sharingan*
    *just like mine.*
**[17:42] ---**
    *If he had only been born*
    *before Obito…*
**[17:45] ---**
    *he would be my…*
**[17:49] ---**
    *No… There's no point*
    *in reflecting now.*
**[17:52] ---**
    *No matter what's happened,*
**[17:54] ---**
    *I must keep in mind that*
    *these two aren't ordinary brats.*
**[17:59] ---**
    *I need to get*
    *my other eye back soon.*
**[18:03] ---**
    Sage Art: Magnet Style Rasengan!
**[18:07] ---**
    And I have Six Paths Power too…
**[18:10] ---**
    *Chidori!*
**[18:13] ---**
    Naruto, shoot that towards me!
**[18:16] ---**
    I'll take care of the rest.
**[18:17] ---**
    It's a bit irritating,
    but there's no time to argue!
**[18:31] ---**
    *Why am I here?*
**[18:50] ---**
    Naruto, the jutsu the Sage of
    Six Paths gave you…
**[18:52] ---**
    You know it, right?
**[18:54] ---**
    Yeah, the time is now!
**[18:57] ---**
    What?
**[18:58] ---**
    He moved?
**[19:03] ---**
    *He substituted his shadow?*
**[19:07] ---**
    Over there!
**[19:10] ---**
    Sasuke, I'll hold this one down,
    so go after the real one!
**[19:19] ---**
    *Seems like his Rinnegan*
    *can't reach this distance.*
**[19:24] ---**
    *I'm starting to understand*
    *your left eye's abilities, Sasuke.*
**[19:31] ---**
    Hurry, Sasuke!
**[19:33] ---**
    Madara is heading straight for…
**[19:37] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[20:02] ---**
    Hurry and destroy my Rinnegan…
**[20:06] ---**
    I can't hold off Black Zetsu any longer.
**[20:17] ---**
    *I must admit Sasuke sure is fast.*
**[20:27] ---**
    Kamui!
**[20:34] ---**
    Damn!
**[20:35] ---**
    *Just his upper body, huh?*
**[20:44] ---**
    Hurry!
**[20:46] ---**
    I know!
**[20:53] ---**
    Oh no, you don't!
**[22:38] ---**
    The Rinnegan will fall
    into Madara's hands.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    If he ends up with both eyes,
    terrible things will happen.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Terrible things?
    How much worse can it get?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    If both Rinnegan are restored
    to their true owner…
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Infinite Dream"
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    …I fear no one will be able
    to stand against him.
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    THE INFINITE DREAM
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:12] ---**
    Now, hurry!
**[00:21] ---**
    Oh no, you don't!
**[00:27] ---**
    Kamui!
**[01:59] ---**
    *The Infinite Dream*
    
    
**[02:09] ---**
    Sakura!
**[02:13] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei.
**[02:15] ---**
    Sasuke?!
**[02:17] ---**
    Why did you pop up here, Sakura?
**[02:20] ---**
    She was in the Time-Space plane…
**[02:22] ---**
    Sakura, what's going on
    over there?
**[02:26] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei, your left eye!
**[02:29] ---**
    It all happened so quickly.
**[02:31] ---**
    But I think Madara stole my Sharingan.
**[02:35] ---**
    Let me take a look, Sensei!
**[02:37] ---**
    Thanks.
**[02:41] ---**
    In any case, what happened to Obito?
**[02:44] ---**
    I'm sure Madara used the Kamui
    to teleport himself there!
**[02:48] ---**
    In a flash,
    I was back out here, so…
**[02:51] ---**
    Madara…
**[02:53] ---**
    *I want you to destroy my left eye,*
**[02:55] ---**
    *the one that has the Rinnegan.*
**[02:58] ---**
    *I can't even move now…*
**[03:01] ---**
    *If I let down my guard,*
    *even just a little bit…*
**[03:03] ---**
    *Black Zetsu will take over my body,*
    *Rinnegan and all.*
**[03:07] ---**
    *Then he'll use my right eye's*
    *Visual Prowess to get back outside…*
**[03:13] ---**
    *…and the Rinnegan will fall*
    *into Madara's hands.*
**[03:18] ---**
    *If he ends up with both eyes,*
    *terrible things will happen.*
**[03:21] ---**
    *Terrible things?*
**[03:23] ---**
    *How much worse can it get?*
    *Hasn't he done enough?*
**[03:26] ---**
    *I wasn't able to implant*
    *both Rinnegan myself.*
**[03:31] ---**
    *Even with just this left eye,*
**[03:33] ---**
    *its chakra and Visual Prowess*
    *are so strong*
**[03:36] ---**
    *that I started losing myself.*
**[03:38] ---**
    *I'm not even its original owner,*
**[03:40] ---**
    *yet I was able to accomplish*
    *this much with just one.*
**[03:43] ---**
    *If both Rinnegan are restored*
    *to their true owner,*
**[03:46] ---**
    *I fear no one will be able*
    *to stand against him…*
**[03:49] ---**
    *But that's—!*
**[03:52] ---**
    *With Visual Prowess,*
    *only with both eyes together*
**[03:55] ---**
    *can their full power be unleashed.*
**[03:57] ---**
    *We can't waste any time.*
    *Please destroy this left eye!*
**[04:04] ---**
    What's wrong, Sakura?!
**[04:06] ---**
    We're in trouble!
**[04:08] ---**
    Obito had reached his limit
    and couldn't move…
**[04:11] ---**
    Which means Madara's going
    to get Obito's Rinnegan!
**[04:19] ---**
    The Cursed Seal Tag I placed on
    your heart has disappeared.
**[04:24] ---**
    How did you remove it?
**[04:25] ---**
    You shouldn't have been able
    to damage it yourself.
**[04:29] ---**
    I had Kakashi stab me
    and remove it.
**[04:33] ---**
    *This is all I can do right now.*
**[04:41] ---**
    Since it was in the way
    of me making myself
**[04:43] ---**
    into the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki…
**[04:47] ---**
    I gambled my life on it…
**[04:50] ---**
    But I wasn't going to keep
    doing what you wanted!
**[04:55] ---**
    Actually, you did exactly
    what I wanted you to do.
**[04:58] ---**
    In fact, you exceeded my hopes.
**[05:02] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[05:05] ---**
    A Curse Seal Tag meant to
    turn you into a puppet…
**[05:08] ---**
    One that would restrict your movements,
**[05:12] ---**
    should you try to remove it from
    inside the body it's implanted in.
**[05:15] ---**
    It seems you knew about it, Obito.
**[05:18] ---**
    Regarding these Cursed Tags
    I implanted in the two of you…
**[05:21] ---**
    Naturally, you couldn't have
    killed yourselves either.
**[05:24] ---**
    Since you both were
    my precious pawns.
**[05:28] ---**
    "You both"…?
**[05:31] ---**
    As fate would have it…
**[05:33] ---**
    It's ironic that both of
    you ended up
**[05:35] ---**
    getting rid of them through
    the exact same method.
**[05:44] ---**
    *Rin!*
**[05:45] ---**
    Yes.
**[05:46] ---**
    That plot to make that girl
    into the Three Tails' Jinchuriki
**[05:49] ---**
    and have her rampage through
    the Leaf Village was mine.
**[05:53] ---**
    Not the Hidden Mist's!
**[05:55] ---**
    That girl took advantage of
    Kakashi's attack against the enemy
**[05:57] ---**
    to avert the plot,
    at the cost of her life.
**[05:59] ---**
    But that was also part
    of my plan…
**[06:02] ---**
    In order to pitch you
    into darkness
**[06:04] ---**
    and make you into my pawn.
**[06:06] ---**
    You bastard, you deliberately
    had me see all that!
**[06:11] ---**
    I waited for the opportunity,
**[06:14] ---**
    when Minato was away
    on another mission.
**[06:17] ---**
    And manipulated the Mist Shinobi
    into kidnapping Rin,
**[06:20] ---**
    leaving Kakashi
    so he would come after her.
**[06:22] ---**
    The other purpose of that
**[06:24] ---**
    was so I could see the extent
    of your unleashed power.
**[06:27] ---**
    Did you really think that
    White Zetsu goading you on,
**[06:30] ---**
    and you being able to get out
    from underground right at that moment
**[06:32] ---**
    was all a big coincidence?
**[06:40] ---**
    *I was just outside!*
**[06:43] ---**
    *Your friends Rin and*
    *stupid Kakashi are in trouble!*
**[06:46] ---**
    *What happened?!*
**[06:47] ---**
    *They're alone and*
    *completely surrounded*
**[06:49] ---**
    *by Hidden Mist Shinobi!*
**[06:56] ---**
    *How are Rin and Kakashi*
    *doing right now?*
**[06:59] ---**
    *According to the others,*
    *it looks pretty bad.*
**[07:03] ---**
    *They're talking about some*
    *Hidden Mist test subjects…*
**[07:06] ---**
    *but I don't really understand.*
**[07:08] ---**
    *Test subjects?*
**[07:11] ---**
    *Anyway, it seems Rin and*
    *Kakashi are totally surrounded.*
**[07:15] ---**
    *And they're saying they all appear*
**[07:18] ---**
    *to be jonin or Black Ops.*
**[07:21] ---**
    *What's Minato Sensei doing?*
**[07:23] ---**
    *Who is that?*
**[07:24] ---**
    *I'm asking you what*
    *the Yellow Flash is doing!*
**[07:28] ---**
    *Seems he's on a different mission.*
**[07:32] ---**
    *At a time like this?!*
**[07:43] ---**
    That the girl dying
    by Kakashi's hand
**[07:46] ---**
    was more than I could
    have hoped for.
**[08:39] ---**
    Either way, I would have had
    my Puppet Shinobi kill her.
**[08:44] ---**
    I taught you to use the darkness
    in people's hearts…
**[08:48] ---**
    to manipulate them, didn't I, Obito?
**[08:53] ---**
    If there isn't any darkness,
    you can create some.
**[08:55] ---**
    Don't you think it's presumptuous
    to consider yourself any different?
**[09:01] ---**
    Why? Why me?!
**[09:04] ---**
    You were kind and cared about
    people from the bottom of your heart.
**[09:09] ---**
    Remember how great you were
    at taking care of the elderly?
**[09:14] ---**
    Your deep love for Rin…
    for your comrades and friends…
**[09:17] ---**
    for the Hokage and
    all other shinobi…
**[09:22] ---**
    Once you fell into darkness,
    it would conversely transform
**[09:25] ---**
    into an equally profound
    hatred for this world.
**[09:28] ---**
    That's the kind of guy you are.
**[09:32] ---**
    For my plan to work completely,
**[09:34] ---**
    I just need one more thing…
**[09:37] ---**
    I'll be taking back that left eye.
**[09:48] ---**
    This should do it!
**[09:49] ---**
    You can't move anymore.
**[09:51] ---**
    I'm leaving him to you!
**[09:52] ---**
    Right! You can count on me!
**[09:55] ---**
    It seems Madara appeared there.
**[09:58] ---**
    I see… So that's what Obito said.
**[10:02] ---**
    We don't know when Madara
    might emerge. Stay alert.
**[10:09] ---**
    What about his shadow?
**[10:11] ---**
    I stopped him cold with
**[10:12] ---**
    my Shadow Clones and
    Six Paths' Rods!
**[10:14] ---**
    Naruto?
**[10:15] ---**
    Hey, Sakura…
**[10:16] ---**
    Let me do it!
**[10:18] ---**
    What are you trying to do, Naruto?
**[10:20] ---**
    Hey!
**[10:21] ---**
    It's okay, it's okay.
**[10:32] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei,
    try opening your eye.
**[10:40] ---**
    No way! How did you do that?
**[10:43] ---**
    It's really hard to explain in words…
**[10:46] ---**
    But I took a part of Kakashi Sensei,
**[10:48] ---**
    and then I kinda…um…uhh…
**[10:51] ---**
    Hey, Naruto…
    I told everyone to stay alert!
**[10:54] ---**
    What?
**[10:55] ---**
    But it's the first time
    I'm hearing of it!
**[10:58] ---**
    Quit talking back
    for once, Naruto!
**[11:01] ---**
    Anyway, you'll have to explain
    about the eye later!
**[11:04] ---**
    Madara stole Kakashi's eye
    and went to where Obito is.
**[11:07] ---**
    The next time he appears,
    he'll have both Rinnegan!
**[11:09] ---**
    What? Really?
**[11:16] ---**
    *Let's see, we'll start*
    *with the introductions.*
**[11:20] ---**
    *I'll go! I'll go!*
**[11:21] ---**
    *I'm Naruto Uzumaki!*
**[11:23] ---**
    *I love instant cup ramen.*
**[11:26] ---**
    *But I really love*
    *the ramen at Ichiraku*
**[11:28] ---**
    *that Iruka Sensei treats me to*
    *even more!*
**[11:31] ---**
    *I hate having to*
    *wait three minutes*
**[11:33] ---**
    *after pouring the hot water*
    *into the cup.*
**[11:35] ---**
    *My future dream is…*
**[11:38] ---**
    *to surpass the Hokage!*
**[11:39] ---**
    *And that's why I'm going to*
    *make everyone in the village…*
**[11:42] ---**
    *acknowledge me!*
**[11:45] ---**
    *My name is Sasuke Uchiha.*
**[11:47] ---**
    *There are lots of things I hate.*
    *And not many things I like.*
**[11:52] ---**
    *Also…I have no intention of*
    *saying I have a dream,*
**[11:56] ---**
    *but I do have an ambition.*
**[12:00] ---**
    *That is…*
**[12:04] ---**
    *to kill a certain man one day.*
**[12:05] ---**
    *I'm Sakura Haruno.*
**[12:08] ---**
    *What I like…I mean,*
    *who I like is…um…*
**[12:14] ---**
    *My future dream is…*
**[12:23] ---**
    *You've already surpassed*
    *the Hokage, Naruto.*
**[12:27] ---**
    *You're a hero and*
    *everyone has acknowledged you.*
**[12:31] ---**
    *But becoming Hokage*
    *is still your dream.*
**[12:33] ---**
    *And Sakura…*
**[12:35] ---**
    *I bet your feelings for Sasuke*
**[12:37] ---**
    *have changed from*
    *what they were back then.*
**[12:39] ---**
    *You still love him,*
    *but on a totally different level.*
**[12:43] ---**
    *He tried to kill you,*
    *yet you still care for him.*
**[12:46] ---**
    *You won't cut him off,*
    *no matter what.*
**[12:50] ---**
    *And you think it's your duty*
    *to save him from the darkness.*
**[12:53] ---**
    *That's how kind you are.*
**[12:57] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[12:58] ---**
    *Your dream was to kill Itachi.*
**[13:01] ---**
    *Now that he's gone,*
    *what do you desire?*
**[13:04] ---**
    *What are you heading towards?*
**[13:07] ---**
    *I was your teacher,*
**[13:09] ---**
    *but it turned out that*
    *I didn't understand you at all.*
**[13:12] ---**
    *Even now…*
**[13:15] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[13:16] ---**
    What is your dream now?
**[13:24] ---**
    What's the true meaning
    behind you saying
**[13:27] ---**
    you'll become the Hokage?
**[13:35] ---**
    It might be fate
**[13:38] ---**
    that reunited the old
    Team Seven like this, Sasuke.
**[13:42] ---**
    If you don't want to say what
    you're thinking right now,
**[13:46] ---**
    that's fine.
**[13:48] ---**
    But the fact that we were
    once Team 7 is undisputable…
**[13:54] ---**
    Right?
**[13:57] ---**
    In front! He's coming!
**[14:00] ---**
    You haven't forgotten
    the lesson
**[14:01] ---**
    from the very first mission
    to steal the bells, have you?
**[14:03] ---**
    Yes!
**[14:05] ---**
    Of course not!
**[14:07] ---**
    The answer is teamwork!
**[14:29] ---**
    Then dying together can also
    be considered teamwork, eh?
**[14:43] ---**
    Madara…you have both Rinnegan.
**[14:47] ---**
    *His lower body has*
    *completely healed.*
**[14:53] ---**
    Obito!
**[14:55] ---**
    Unfortunately, Obito is gone.
**[15:00] ---**
    I've taken over his body now.
**[15:03] ---**
    Seems he was hoping
    to right his wrongs.
**[15:09] ---**
    He was praying like
    a child, deep inside…
**[15:13] ---**
    so that he could leave
    the future to you all.
**[15:17] ---**
    How convenient that would
    have been for him, right?
**[15:20] ---**
    Just like a spoiled brat.
**[15:38] ---**
    *I can't blame her.*
**[15:41] ---**
    *Given the power of those eyes.*
**[15:54] ---**
    *Lady Tsunade, it looks like I finally*
    *caught up to them.*
**[16:07] ---**
    *I'm not retreating anymore.*
**[16:11] ---**
    I'll be the diversion.
    So follow me!
**[16:13] ---**
    Wait!
**[16:18] ---**
    *Sakura!*
**[16:41] ---**
    *Rule Four!*
**[16:43] ---**
    *A Medic Ninja who masters*
    *the Ninja Art of Mitotic Regeneration,*
**[16:47] ---**
    *the 100 Healings,*
    *may break the first three rules!*
**[16:51] ---**
    *The same Mitotic Regeneration Jutsu*
**[16:54] ---**
    *as Hashirama's granddaughter.*
**[16:58] ---**
    *What?!*
**[17:00] ---**
    *An invisible wall?!*
    *I can't reach him!*
**[17:11] ---**
    *What's happening?!*
**[17:17] ---**
    Sakura…
**[17:19] ---**
    Don't worry about me, Naruto.
**[17:23] ---**
    *Sasuke isn't even concerned*
    *about me…*
**[17:28] ---**
    I'm all right, so…
**[17:31] ---**
    Naruto!
**[17:33] ---**
    Yeah, I know!
    There are more of them, right?
**[17:36] ---**
    *That left eye is a Rinnegan!*
**[17:46] ---**
    *Madara's got four shadows now.*
**[17:54] ---**
    Enough with this sideshow.
**[18:11] ---**
    What is he up to?
**[18:16] ---**
    *Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!*
**[18:30] ---**
    Retreat for the time being!
**[18:32] ---**
    What about Naruto and the others?!
**[18:33] ---**
    They will pull through,
    no matter what!
**[18:54] ---**
    This is Six Paths' power?
**[18:57] ---**
    He's way bigger than before
    and there's more of ‘em…
**[19:00] ---**
    Stop getting distracted
    by what's above!
**[19:03] ---**
    His shadows are
    on the ground with us!
**[19:08] ---**
    They're a bit more solid and
    larger than raindrops, but…
**[19:15] ---**
    Here they come!
**[19:16] ---**
    The shadows as well!
**[19:17] ---**
    *Shadow Clone Jutsu!*
**[19:20] ---**
    Leave them to me!
**[19:33] ---**
    I guess I'll just record
    their final moments!
**[19:40] ---**
    Kurama…
**[19:41] ---**
    Yeah!
**[19:45] ---**
    *Susano'o!*
**[19:46] ---**
    Tailed Beast Bomb Rasen Shuriken!
**[20:17] ---**
    *Damn it!*
    *There's no end to them!*
**[20:21] ---**
    *Unbelievable…*
**[20:22] ---**
    Damn you!
**[20:39] ---**
    *According to that stone tablet.*
**[20:42] ---**
    *When the one who possesses*
    *the power of the Rinne,*
**[20:44] ---**
    *should draw near the moon…*
**[20:46] ---**
    *the eye that can reflect off*
    *of the moon,*
**[20:49] ---**
    *and grant the infinite dream,*
    *shall open.*
**[20:58] ---**
    Shine upon the world…
    Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[22:38] ---**
    Where am I? What happened?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Are you all right, Yamato?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Lord Third!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    That's right! Kabuto captured me…
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    That's happening in the war?
    What's going on?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Is Naruto all right?
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Infinite Tsukuyomi."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Pull yourself together, Yamato!
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Infinite Tsukuyomi*
    
    
**[02:41] ---**
    I've used up my chakra and
    can't release my jutsu!
**[03:23] ---**
    Wha—?!
**[03:39] ---**
    What is this?
**[03:42] ---**
    It's finally started…
**[03:45] ---**
    I'm done with this!
**[03:49] ---**
    Then we don't need these insides
    anymore either.
**[03:54] ---**
    Again?!
**[03:57] ---**
    What's all this shaking?
**[03:58] ---**
    Over at 4 o'clock! Meteorites!
**[04:02] ---**
    There are so many!
**[04:04] ---**
    Brace for impact!
**[04:08] ---**
    What's happening over there?!
**[04:11] ---**
    That's not normal!
**[04:16] ---**
    The chakra Naruto gave everyone
    has disappeared…
**[04:19] ---**
    And so has that giant tree.
**[04:25] ---**
    Something big is happening
    over there, that's for sure.
**[04:28] ---**
    Most likely, it's something bad.
**[04:36] ---**
    What?!
**[04:39] ---**
    What's the matter, Kiba?!
**[04:41] ---**
    Shino…
**[04:42] ---**
    The moon! Look at the moon!
**[04:46] ---**
    This can't be!
**[04:48] ---**
    What is happening?
**[04:57] ---**
    *This is really bad.*
**[05:07] ---**
    I'll pulverize all the meteorites
    with these next, so don't worry.
**[05:12] ---**
    You two stick close to me
    and stay still!
**[05:14] ---**
    Okay!
**[05:16] ---**
    *I have to make sure*
    *I don't hit Sasuke!*
**[05:19] ---**
    Go!
**[05:35] ---**
    Sasuke, don't head down here
    so suddenly!
**[05:37] ---**
    I could've hit you with
    a Rasen Shuriken—!
**[05:43] ---**
    Hey! Land more softly too!
**[05:46] ---**
    Just shut up and stay still!
**[06:04] ---**
    Not again!
**[06:25] ---**
    Now! Become one!
**[07:17] ---**
    Those eyes…
**[07:19] ---**
    Don't tell me Madara's launched
    his jutsu already!
**[07:45] ---**
    My lord, this is terrible!
**[07:48] ---**
    Please wake up! My lord!
**[07:53] ---**
    What is it?
**[07:54] ---**
    We are much fatigued from
    playing mahjong all night.
**[07:59] ---**
    Up all night?
    Then why were you asleep?!
**[08:02] ---**
    Oh, never mind!
**[08:04] ---**
    Something terrible is
    happening outside!
**[08:06] ---**
    It's night, yet it's bright as day—!
**[08:35] ---**
    This light can penetrate and
    see through even shadows…
**[08:38] ---**
    No one can hide from it.
**[08:41] ---**
    And now…
**[08:44] ---**
    Divine…Deep Forest Emergence!
**[09:19] ---**
    Get ahold of yourself, Tsunade!
**[09:22] ---**
    What is going on?
**[09:30] ---**
    *I can't move!*
**[09:34] ---**
    *Naruto!*
**[09:39] ---**
    Naruto, don't do it right now!
**[09:46] ---**
    *The light can't penetrate*
    *that Susano'o?*
**[09:57] ---**
    *His Rinnegan can counter*
    *even this jutsu?*
**[10:03] ---**
    Don't go outside right now.
**[10:05] ---**
    Without this Susano'o
    that my eye made,
**[10:07] ---**
    you'd get bound up in
    his genjutsu as well!
**[10:10] ---**
    Also his shadows are outside…
**[10:13] ---**
    If you and I fall, it's all over!
**[10:16] ---**
    We need to bide our time.
**[10:22] ---**
    *This is the Deep Forest Emergence!*
**[10:24] ---**
    *He's binding people using*
    *the Divine Tree's life energy!*
**[10:34] ---**
    Why am I not affected?!
**[10:53] ---**
    Yamato!
**[11:13] ---**
    Yamato…
**[11:16] ---**
    H-Hey? Where am I?
**[11:23] ---**
    What happened…to me?
**[11:27] ---**
    Are you all right, Yamato?!
**[11:29] ---**
    Lord Third?
**[11:31] ---**
    Well…
**[11:35] ---**
    *Motoi! Get away from here!*
**[11:38] ---**
    *Yamato!*
**[11:49] ---**
    That's right! Kabuto captured me…
**[11:53] ---**
    What's happening in the war?
    What's going on?
**[11:56] ---**
    And Naruto! Is Naruto all right?!
**[11:59] ---**
    Get yourself together!
**[12:04] ---**
    This is—!
**[12:32] ---**
    Let the world of dreams now begin…
**[12:35] ---**
    A world without abysmal chakra!
**[12:52] ---**
    *I was Orochimaru's guinea pig*
    *and I was all alone…*
**[12:57] ---**
    *I had no family, nothing…*
**[13:00] ---**
    Tenzo…Tenzo!
**[13:05] ---**
    Where am I?
**[13:12] ---**
    Tenzo! Hurry! Hurry!
**[13:15] ---**
    Yukimi?
**[13:33] ---**
    Tadah!
**[13:36] ---**
    How's does this look? Tenzo?
**[13:48] ---**
    I met Yukimi and got to know
    Kakashi Senpai…
**[13:52] ---**
    And then, the place where I belonged
**[13:54] ---**
    became the ANBU Black Ops.
**[13:56] ---**
    Hey, Tenzo.
**[14:00] ---**
    Kakashi Senpai?
**[14:02] ---**
    Hurry up and get ready.
**[14:03] ---**
    We have a mission.
**[14:05] ---**
    R-Right! I'm sorry!
**[14:09] ---**
    *If I stayed in the ANBU,*
    *I wouldn't be alone.*
**[14:12] ---**
    *All the missions were harsh…*
**[14:15] ---**
    *I had no family,*
    *so for someone like me,*
**[14:17] ---**
    *it was the best place.*
**[14:24] ---**
    *No, that's not right!*
**[14:26] ---**
    *The place where I belong, changed.*
**[14:29] ---**
    *Where I belong is…*
**[14:33] ---**
    *But that place belongs to Kakashi…*
**[14:37] ---**
    Tenzo, what's the matter?
**[14:39] ---**
    Huh? Oh…Kakashi Senpai?
**[14:44] ---**
    What's happening?
**[14:46] ---**
    Did you finally realize?
**[14:48] ---**
    That this is where you belong.
**[14:51] ---**
    What's going on?
    Why are you suddenly saying that?
**[15:14] ---**
    You're—!
**[15:16] ---**
    It's been a while, Yamato.
**[15:18] ---**
    I'll be taking Kakashi's Sharingan.
**[15:23] ---**
    Wait!
**[15:30] ---**
    Captain Yamato!
**[15:34] ---**
    Let's go after him!
**[15:36] ---**
    Only Team 7 can save Kakashi Sensei!
**[15:39] ---**
    You guys!
**[15:48] ---**
    Preparations are already set!
**[15:49] ---**
    Let's hurry!
**[15:51] ---**
    Captain!
**[15:52] ---**
    Captain Yamato!
**[15:54] ---**
    Captain!
**[15:59] ---**
    Yes, we'll pursue them immediately!
**[16:08] ---**
    *Yes… This is where I…*
**[16:38] ---**
    Damn—!
**[16:51] ---**
    Captain Yamato!
**[17:11] ---**
    Captain Yamato…
**[17:29] ---**
    You're—!
**[17:34] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[17:37] ---**
    Sasuke?!
**[17:38] ---**
    Chidori Stream!
**[17:51] ---**
    Why are you—?
**[17:55] ---**
    It's none of your business.
**[18:02] ---**
    Watch out!
**[18:12] ---**
    Damn it! I was careless.
**[18:14] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[18:15] ---**
    Yeah, I'm okay.
**[18:16] ---**
    Thanks.
**[18:20] ---**
    Kakashi Senpai!
**[18:22] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[18:26] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[18:27] ---**
    Yeah…I'm fine.
**[18:30] ---**
    You saving me, imagine that.
**[18:32] ---**
    No, it wasn't just me.
**[18:35] ---**
    I had help from Naruto and Sasuke…
**[18:43] ---**
    Now, I can rest assured and
    leave things to you.
**[18:49] ---**
    You are the only one among
    my juniors that I acknowledge…
**[18:54] ---**
    From here on, you are officially
    the captain of Team 7.
**[18:58] ---**
    N-No way! Team 7 is your…
**[19:02] ---**
    No, Kakashi is right.
**[19:05] ---**
    You performed admirably.
**[19:08] ---**
    There's no one else
    I can entrust Team 7 to…
**[19:12] ---**
    Lady Fifth…
**[19:14] ---**
    Way to go, Captain Yamato!
**[19:16] ---**
    You give me peace of mind,
    Captain Yamato!
**[19:18] ---**
    To me, you were my first friend,
    Captain Yamato.
**[19:22] ---**
    Anyone else just won't do!
**[19:25] ---**
    *Thank you…everyone!*
**[19:29] ---**
    *On top of that, Sasuke is back.*
**[19:32] ---**
    *I'm so happy for you…*
    *Naruto…Sakura…*
**[19:37] ---**
    A team approved by Kakashi…
    Not bad.
**[19:41] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[19:50] ---**
    *That's right…*
**[19:53] ---**
    *I can stay here.*
**[19:57] ---**
    *From now on, this is where I belong…*
**[20:09] ---**
    From now on,
    this is where I belong…
**[20:15] ---**
    Is this the Infinite Tsukuyomi?
**[20:28] ---**
    What in the world happened?
**[20:59] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[22:38] ---**
    Any way you look at it,
    this is my room.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Why is the Leaf Village—?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Does this mean
    we were transported here
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    all the way from the battlefield?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    But, what's this feeling
    I'm feeling?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Even if we are away
    from the battlefield,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    this is just way too peaceful!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The World of Dreams"
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    What?!
**[23:00] ---**
    What is going on?!
**[23:02] ---**
    THE WORLD OF DREAMS
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *To the Dreamworld*
    
    
**[01:37] ---**
    Just a little more!
**[01:39] ---**
    With this, I can…!
**[01:49] ---**
    With this ninja tool,
    I can instantly seal the enemy!
**[01:54] ---**
    But before that,
**[01:55] ---**
    I have to ask someone from
    the Hidden Cloud how to use it!
**[01:59] ---**
    Wha—?
**[02:01] ---**
    Now…become one.
**[02:24] ---**
    *I can't move my body…*
**[02:59] ---**
    *No… I have to…*
**[03:17] ---**
    I have to save everyone!
**[03:24] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:36] ---**
    Any way I look at it,
    this is my room, right?
**[03:54] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf Village…
**[04:01] ---**
    How?
**[04:07] ---**
    Does this mean I was…
**[04:09] ---**
    transported here
    from the battlefield?
**[04:22] ---**
    What happened to the others?
**[04:25] ---**
    I'd better find someone!
**[04:32] ---**
    *Hold on…*
**[04:33] ---**
    *What is this feeling?*
**[04:44] ---**
    I might have left the battlefield,
**[04:46] ---**
    but this is just
    way too peaceful!
**[04:48] ---**
    Tenten!
**[04:50] ---**
    So here you are.
**[04:52] ---**
    Thank goodness!
**[04:54] ---**
    So you and Lee got transported
    here too, Guy Sensei?
**[04:58] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:01] ---**
    Like a newly appeared comet,
    I am Rock Lee,
**[05:03] ---**
    the fashion trendsetter
    of the Hidden Leaf!
**[05:06] ---**
    Coolly making my entrance!
**[05:08] ---**
    Nothing!
**[05:10] ---**
    That was nothing just now!
**[05:12] ---**
    What was wrong with it?
**[05:14] ---**
    A true fashion trendsetter elicits
    such comments from others, not himself.
**[05:19] ---**
    Grown-ups behave in
    a cooler manner, Lee.
**[05:23] ---**
    You're right!
**[05:25] ---**
    I shall be more careful from now.
**[05:26] ---**
    – More stylishly!
    – More stylishly!
**[05:27] ---**
    Hold it!
**[05:30] ---**
    What are you up to
    at a time like this?
**[05:32] ---**
    Like this?
**[05:34] ---**
    We're in the middle of a war!
**[05:37] ---**
    This is no time to
    be joking around.
**[05:39] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[05:42] ---**
    If you mean
    the Third Great Ninja War,
**[05:44] ---**
    it ended a long time ago.
**[05:46] ---**
    Snap out of it.
**[05:47] ---**
    This is no time to
    be playing the fool.
**[05:50] ---**
    From my standpoint,
    you need to snap out of it.
**[05:54] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:55] ---**
    He's right, Tenten.
    Open your eyes a little more.
**[05:59] ---**
    Huh? No way!
**[06:01] ---**
    That voice…
**[06:03] ---**
    You always wear
    those ugly sports bras!
**[06:06] ---**
    It's time you wake up and
    wear some better underwear!
**[06:10] ---**
    Huh? Sports bras?
**[06:12] ---**
    Hey…
**[06:15] ---**
    *Why? What's going on?!*
**[06:18] ---**
    That was totally uncool, Neji!
**[06:20] ---**
    You have no sense of style!
**[06:23] ---**
    This is also part of discipline!
**[06:26] ---**
    *You've got to be kidding.*
    *Neji's acting like a pervert?*
**[06:29] ---**
    *No…*
    *Neji is supposed to be dead.*
**[06:33] ---**
    *So why are Sensei and Lee*
    *acting like nothing happened?*
**[06:36] ---**
    What's the big commotion here?
**[06:39] ---**
    Hey, you're just in time!
**[06:42] ---**
    Huh?
**[06:54] ---**
    It's the usual.
**[06:56] ---**
    Please scold Neji too, Menma!
**[07:00] ---**
    Huh?
**[07:01] ---**
    Menma?
**[07:03] ---**
    Something wrong?
**[07:25] ---**
    Aww yeah.
    Barbecued meat is the best!
**[07:28] ---**
    Hardly. Even if it's dinnertime,
    I want something light.
**[07:33] ---**
    Yeah? This is really light.
**[07:36] ---**
    That's hardly what I call light.
**[07:40] ---**
    You're always such a fool.
**[07:47] ---**
    Are you eating enough, Tenten?
**[07:49] ---**
    Huh? Oh yeah…
**[07:51] ---**
    *I came just to make sure, but…*
**[07:54] ---**
    Still Neji, your dirty mind
    is a problem.
**[07:58] ---**
    I was just trying to
    discipline her.
**[08:00] ---**
    Quit makin' excuses,
    you disgrace to our clan!
**[08:04] ---**
    Do it again and
    I'll rip your eyeballs out.
**[08:07] ---**
    Remember that.
**[08:09] ---**
    That's a mean joke, Lady Hinata.
**[08:11] ---**
    Oh scary… I couldn't imagine
    doing something like that.
**[08:15] ---**
    Hey, don't take advantage of
    the situation and get close to Menma
**[08:18] ---**
    or I'll kill you!
**[08:20] ---**
    Menma doesn't welcome
    your kind of attention!
**[08:23] ---**
    Go away! Shoo!
**[08:26] ---**
    You go away!
**[08:27] ---**
    Shoo! Shoo!
**[08:28] ---**
    You're both pains.
    Get away from me.
**[08:30] ---**
    – You're so cold, Menma!
    – W-What?
**[08:34] ---**
    Don't get worked up.
**[08:36] ---**
    You have me.
**[08:38] ---**
    I don't need
    a cheap flirt like you!
**[08:41] ---**
    Talk about a negative reaction.
**[08:44] ---**
    But that's what I like
    about you, my kitten.
**[08:47] ---**
    Did someone say kitten?
    I love cats!
**[08:51] ---**
    No one's talking about cats.
**[08:54] ---**
    But what concerns me is
**[08:56] ---**
    the source of the repulsive feeling
    I've been getting…
**[09:01] ---**
    There it is!
**[09:05] ---**
    Hey, what the hell are you doing?!
    We're eating!
**[09:08] ---**
    Relax…
**[09:09] ---**
    This spray is harmless
    to the human body.
**[09:12] ---**
    And I show no mercy
    towards bugs, not even tiny ones.
**[09:16] ---**
    That's not the issue!
**[09:20] ---**
    Thank you for the food.
**[09:22] ---**
    Huh? Are you leaving already?
**[09:24] ---**
    We're splitting the bill,
    so you should eat your fill!
**[09:28] ---**
    I'm full.
**[09:30] ---**
    This is for my share.
**[09:48] ---**
    Lord Kizashi Haruno is the best!
**[09:50] ---**
    A toast…to Lord Fourth!
**[09:58] ---**
    I don't recognize that
    Great Stone Face…
**[10:01] ---**
    This is no place I'm familiar with.
**[10:09] ---**
    And it's not a dream.
**[10:12] ---**
    So, I could be inside a genjutsu!
**[10:19] ---**
    Then I have to break the genjutsu
    as soon as possible!
**[10:22] ---**
    Release!
**[10:28] ---**
    Release!
**[10:29] ---**
    Release! Release! Release!
    I said, release!
**[10:35] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[10:36] ---**
    It's not working at all!
**[10:39] ---**
    Does this mean my release skills
    don't have any effect…?!
**[10:49] ---**
    That's right,
    I have to rescue everyone…
**[10:54] ---**
    I can't stay locked up here.
**[11:01] ---**
    I won't let you have your way!
**[11:04] ---**
    I'm going to get out of here,
    Madara, and seal you away!
**[11:16] ---**
    If I'm going to escape
    from this world,
**[11:18] ---**
    I have to learn every
    little detail about genjutsu.
**[11:22] ---**
    Even if I can't reverse
    the genjutsu,
**[11:24] ---**
    there must be some other way.
**[11:27] ---**
    But, old textbooks won't help, huh?
**[11:32] ---**
    Hey, Tenten!
**[11:34] ---**
    Are you up?
**[11:35] ---**
    Oh, is it time for
    morning training?
**[11:38] ---**
    Wait a sec! This is a fake world
    created by our enemy!
**[11:42] ---**
    I can't waste any time
    with fake people.
**[11:48] ---**
    Oh, here she is!
**[11:49] ---**
    Good morning, Tenten.
**[11:52] ---**
    Even still, close up,
**[11:54] ---**
    they really did a good job
    making you.
**[11:57] ---**
    What's with the weird talk
    all of a sudden?
**[11:59] ---**
    Listen, I don't intend on
    getting friendly with you guys.
**[12:03] ---**
    I don't feel like training
    or going on missions,
**[12:05] ---**
    so please remember that.
**[12:08] ---**
    No training or missions?
**[12:11] ---**
    Hey, Lee…
**[12:12] ---**
    Do you think
    Tenten's still half-asleep?
**[12:15] ---**
    Maybe…
**[12:17] ---**
    She left early yesterday when
    we were eating barbecue…
**[12:20] ---**
    It's possible she caught
    a cold too.
**[12:22] ---**
    I'm wide awake,
    and I don't have a cold!
**[12:25] ---**
    Anyway, please leave!
**[12:31] ---**
    Okay, the distractions are gone!
**[12:33] ---**
    Now, to study all I can!
**[12:40] ---**
    What's going on
    with Tenten anyway?
**[12:44] ---**
    Ditching training and missions
    are taboo for a Leaf Shinobi!
**[12:49] ---**
    Nyah, nyah…
**[12:50] ---**
    She must really hate you!
**[12:51] ---**
    That's not the problem!
**[12:53] ---**
    Well, he might be onto something.
**[12:57] ---**
    I mean, your team's got
    some serious issues.
**[13:00] ---**
    That's true.
**[13:01] ---**
    I wouldn't be able to take
    all that vulgar talk.
**[13:05] ---**
    Are you saying
    I'm the problem?
**[13:06] ---**
    No…
**[13:08] ---**
    The way I see it,
**[13:09] ---**
    her anger is directed at
    something more than that.
**[13:13] ---**
    You mean… I'm also to blame?
**[13:17] ---**
    LEAF VILLAGE LIBRARY
**[13:21] ---**
    I guess I'll have to go to
    the library to research this.
**[13:24] ---**
    It's not a place
    I'm used to visiting, but…
**[13:27] ---**
    Hey, Tenten.
**[13:29] ---**
    You're back?
    Didn't you hear what I said?
**[13:34] ---**
    I did hear you!
**[13:35] ---**
    And that's why we're here.
**[13:38] ---**
    Let's do this, Neji!
**[13:46] ---**
    – Please forgive us!
    – Please forgive us!
**[13:50] ---**
    That was a nice apology.
**[13:52] ---**
    One's sincerity is displayed
    by attitude!
**[13:55] ---**
    *What is this?*
**[13:56] ---**
    *I'm not following it at all!*
**[13:59] ---**
    *Or…could they be*
    *Madara's henchmen?*
**[14:02] ---**
    *Which means…*
**[14:03] ---**
    *they intend to coax and*
    *drag me into this world?!*
**[14:10] ---**
    Give them a break and forgive them.
**[14:12] ---**
    They're really sorry!
**[14:15] ---**
    I agree.
**[14:18] ---**
    Say, Tenten…
**[14:20] ---**
    You can try to approach me,
    but it won't work!
**[14:23] ---**
    You, and you, and you!
**[14:26] ---**
    Don't come near me
    until hell freezes over!
**[14:31] ---**
    What?
**[14:32] ---**
    Oh! Now she hates you even more!
**[14:43] ---**
    Until hell freezes over?
**[14:46] ---**
    Now, now…don't get so depressed.
**[14:50] ---**
    But I wonder
    what the cause of all this is?
**[14:52] ---**
    Maybe she's not mad,
    but worried about something?
**[14:57] ---**
    Worried huh?
**[14:59] ---**
    She doesn't have an appetite,
    she rejects her friends…
**[15:03] ---**
    She's troubled
    and wants to be left alone.
**[15:05] ---**
    There's no mistake…
**[15:07] ---**
    She's lovesick!
**[15:09] ---**
    That's all you think about.
**[15:12] ---**
    What do you think, Menma?
**[15:14] ---**
    We'll get nowhere just talking
    amongst ourselves.
**[15:18] ---**
    You're right.
**[15:20] ---**
    So let's all do something for her!
**[15:24] ---**
    – All right!
    – Yes!
**[15:26] ---**
    Nothing here.
**[15:28] ---**
    This either.
**[15:30] ---**
    Not this…or this…or this!
**[15:33] ---**
    I thought I'd find something
    by coming here…
**[15:36] ---**
    But there aren't any
    helpful books at all!
**[15:40] ---**
    I'm no good at researching things
    to begin with.
**[15:43] ---**
    I prefer to have someone else do
    the thinking for me…
**[15:50] ---**
    *I wonder what's happening*
    *with everyone in the real world.*
**[15:55] ---**
    *I can't be wasting time like this.*
**[16:13] ---**
    A rose?
**[16:15] ---**
    That's a face longing for love,
    my kitten.
**[16:21] ---**
    What's the big idea?!
**[16:24] ---**
    Sorry about this.
**[16:27] ---**
    I keep telling you to
    stay out of my way!
**[16:33] ---**
    Are you leaving already?
**[16:35] ---**
    Well, you're bothering me.
**[16:37] ---**
    Don't be so rude.
    We're all just worried about you!
**[16:42] ---**
    You can cut the act, you fakes.
**[16:46] ---**
    Tenten…?
**[16:47] ---**
    You can try to get in my way,
    but I'm not giving up.
**[16:50] ---**
    I'm going home to
    my own world!
**[16:54] ---**
    She's got it really bad.
**[16:56] ---**
    Thanks to your stupid idea!
**[16:59] ---**
    Oh boy…
**[17:05] ---**
    She's beyond our help.
**[17:07] ---**
    She's in full battle-mode
    and she's just not listening to us.
**[17:11] ---**
    So you didn't fare any better, eh…
**[17:14] ---**
    If she's not upset about
    Neji's pervy comments
**[17:16] ---**
    and she's not in love…
**[17:18] ---**
    What do we do?
**[17:20] ---**
    We just have to
    leave her alone.
**[17:23] ---**
    Oh, but that doesn't mean
    ignore her.
**[17:25] ---**
    I agree. Tenten herself seems
    to want that.
**[17:28] ---**
    Isn't that…a little cold?
**[17:32] ---**
    I don't think we should
    leave her alone.
**[17:36] ---**
    Something bothers me.
**[17:38] ---**
    Menma, you're such a good,
    thoughtful friend!
**[17:44] ---**
    The complete opposite
    of that Tenten!
**[17:47] ---**
    I'll go beat some sense
    into that wench!
**[17:51] ---**
    One moment, Lady Hinata!
**[17:54] ---**
    She disappeared!
**[17:55] ---**
    She left a clone.
    The real one is already gone.
**[17:59] ---**
    That Hinata!
**[18:00] ---**
    This only gives me a bad feeling.
**[18:04] ---**
    I'll track her scent. Follow me!
**[18:15] ---**
    A whole day and still no leads.
**[18:20] ---**
    Will I be able to go home?
**[18:24] ---**
    Am I stuck here forever?
**[18:32] ---**
    What is this?
**[18:36] ---**
    What an ugly weapon.
**[18:37] ---**
    Don't just take it.
    Give it back.
**[18:41] ---**
    No way.
**[18:42] ---**
    If you want it back,
    apologize for today.
**[18:47] ---**
    Everyone's worried about you,
**[18:49] ---**
    and all you do is insult us
    and make accusations.
**[18:52] ---**
    Tell us plain and clear…
    just what's going on?
**[18:56] ---**
    Here she is!
**[18:57] ---**
    Hinata, you're being too rough!
**[19:01] ---**
    Shut up!
**[19:02] ---**
    We'll get nowhere otherwise!
**[19:04] ---**
    Fine, I'll take it back by force!
**[19:12] ---**
    Hey!
**[19:13] ---**
    Hinata!
**[19:22] ---**
    Stand down, Tenten.
**[19:34] ---**
    What's going on?
**[19:36] ---**
    That was…
**[19:44] ---**
    Hey, wait! Damn it!
**[19:47] ---**
    That's was something
    you just don't aim at friends.
**[19:49] ---**
    What's going on?
**[19:52] ---**
    You deserved it.
    You aren't my friends.
**[19:56] ---**
    I didn't ask you
    to worry about me.
**[20:00] ---**
    I have my own goals.
**[20:02] ---**
    And I don't want you
    to get in my way.
**[20:06] ---**
    This isn't where I belong.
**[20:08] ---**
    I don't care about
    this village or you!
**[20:11] ---**
    You're lying!
**[20:13] ---**
    I mean…
**[20:15] ---**
    That's not the kind
    of person you are.
**[20:37] ---**
    Think what you want.
**[20:40] ---**
    What's with her anyway?
**[20:42] ---**
    This is more than weird.
**[20:44] ---**
    It's like she's a totally
    different person.
**[20:47] ---**
    She makes me so mad!
**[20:53] ---**
    They're fighting.
    Isn't it terrible?
**[20:55] ---**
    Kids these days…
**[21:02] ---**
    I see…
**[22:37] ---**
    What I want to know
    is how to escape.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    But when the usual methods
    don't work
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    and you can't rely
    on your friends…
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Sounds tough.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Maybe if you were a leader
    instead of a follower,
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    you could do it.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I figured…
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Where Tenten Belongs."
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Aww, jeez…
    I can't think of any other way!
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    WHERE TENTEN BELONGS
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:30] ---**
    *Where Tenten Belongs*
    
    
**[01:51] ---**
    Mom, I'm going out.
**[01:53] ---**
    What? Eat first.
    Everything's ready!
**[01:57] ---**
    By the way,
**[01:58] ---**
    did you look at your dad's papers
    without permission?
**[02:01] ---**
    I know how interested you are,
**[02:03] ---**
    but you're not even a jonin yet…
**[02:09] ---**
    Really!
**[02:19] ---**
    *I guess they're not coming*
    *to get me today.*
**[02:26] ---**
    *That's not the kind*
    *of person you are!*
**[02:31] ---**
    *What was that all about?*
**[02:32] ---**
    *It's like they were making me*
    *the bad guy.*
**[02:37] ---**
    No, no, no!
**[02:40] ---**
    How can I be swayed
    by a fake?!
**[02:42] ---**
    Maybe it's proof that
    I'm being affected by this world!
**[02:46] ---**
    I have to return to my world!
**[02:50] ---**
    I hate having to ask someone,
    but I have no other choice.
**[02:54] ---**
    If anyone knows
    about genjutsu here, it has to be…
**[02:58] ---**
    Now what brings you here?
**[02:59] ---**
    I have something to ask you.
**[03:02] ---**
    You know a lot about genjutsu,
    don't you, Sensei?
**[03:07] ---**
    Genjutsu?
**[03:09] ---**
    Sensei?
**[03:11] ---**
    Well, yes!
**[03:13] ---**
    I can't use genjutsu,
    but I just love THAT jutsu!
**[03:17] ---**
    Huh? You can't use them?
**[03:19] ---**
    That's why I'm hooked on them
**[03:21] ---**
    and have collected all sorts
    of data about them.
**[03:24] ---**
    Come in, come in!
**[03:28] ---**
    SUPER SECRET SCROLL
**[03:31] ---**
    This is amazing.
**[03:33] ---**
    So what do you want to know?
**[03:36] ---**
    The most beautiful jutsu?
**[03:38] ---**
    The most majestic jutsu?
**[03:40] ---**
    Or the most frightening one?
**[03:43] ---**
    I'm not into the crazy ones!
**[03:45] ---**
    What I want to know
    is how to undo them.
**[03:48] ---**
    Oh, that's too bad.
**[03:50] ---**
    Like when the usual
    release jutsu doesn't work…
**[03:53] ---**
    or when you can't expect help
    from your friends…
**[03:57] ---**
    That's very hard.
**[03:59] ---**
    That's possible if you're a grade
    above the jutsu user, but…
**[04:04] ---**
    I figured as much.
**[04:08] ---**
    What if you inflicted wounds
    on yourself?
**[04:11] ---**
    Would the pain undo the jutsu?
**[04:17] ---**
    I can't recommend that either.
**[04:19] ---**
    There are genjutsu that inflicts pain
    over and over again.
**[04:23] ---**
    Rather than undoing the jutsu,
    it would do so much damage,
**[04:27] ---**
    you'd end up being an invalid the instant
    you returned to the real world.
**[04:31] ---**
    I see…
**[04:36] ---**
    Sir, I'd like a large plate of
    sesame dumplings please.
**[04:39] ---**
    Sorry, we only have plain dumplings.
**[04:42] ---**
    I'll have that then…
    a large order.
**[04:44] ---**
    Oh man, what more can I do?!
**[04:49] ---**
    I can't think of anything else!
**[04:51] ---**
    What's wrong? Seems like you're in
    a bad temper as usual.
**[04:58] ---**
    I saw the commotion yesterday.
**[05:01] ---**
    You were the one fighting
    in the park, huh?
**[05:04] ---**
    Oh…
**[05:07] ---**
    What happened?
**[05:10] ---**
    I'm looking for a way to undo
**[05:12] ---**
    a genjutsu placed by
    a higher-ranking shinobi.
**[05:17] ---**
    That's if there is a way.
**[05:20] ---**
    Well, I heard something
    a while back…
**[05:23] ---**
    Huh? Seriously?
**[05:25] ---**
    When you travel around
    doing business,
**[05:27] ---**
    you hear a lot of things.
**[05:29] ---**
    As I recall,
**[05:30] ---**
    there's a shinobi who's skilled
    at that in the Hidden Rain Village.
**[05:34] ---**
    Here, this is a map of the Hidden Rain.
**[05:37] ---**
    You're letting me have it?
**[05:39] ---**
    Maybe it was fate we met.
**[05:42] ---**
    Anyway, use it.
**[05:43] ---**
    With your "shinobi legs,"
    you'll get there in just a few days.
**[05:51] ---**
    That's what he says,
**[05:53] ---**
    but the Hidden Rain and
    the Hidden Leaf don't have an alliance.
**[05:56] ---**
    If I go there on a whim,
    I'll be branded as a deserter.
**[06:02] ---**
    But I have no choice!
**[06:04] ---**
    I've got to get home to everyone!
**[06:39] ---**
    Where do you think
    you're going?
**[06:43] ---**
    *They were waiting for me?*
**[06:45] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[06:46] ---**
    Binding Syrup!
**[06:52] ---**
    It's no use resisting. Give up.
**[06:55] ---**
    But I can't believe you'd betray us.
**[06:59] ---**
    Check her possessions.
**[07:01] ---**
    Okay.
**[07:03] ---**
    Hey! What're you talking about?
**[07:05] ---**
    Oh, this too.
**[07:07] ---**
    Give it back!
**[07:08] ---**
    Give it back!
    I don't have a clue!
**[07:12] ---**
    Don't pretend.
**[07:14] ---**
    We got intel long ago that
**[07:15] ---**
    the Hidden Rain was planning
    to attack the Leaf.
**[07:19] ---**
    And, that the one helping them
    was lying low in the Leaf.
**[07:23] ---**
    And just as we were
    tightening security,
**[07:26] ---**
    we were tipped off that
    you were acting strange…
**[07:28] ---**
    and even planning to desert.
**[07:32] ---**
    Wait a minute!
    I know nothing about that!
**[07:35] ---**
    Trying to deny it even
    though you had this?
**[07:43] ---**
    It's a secret missive addressed
    to the Hidden Rain.
**[07:48] ---**
    We'll get the rest out of you
    during questioning.
**[07:50] ---**
    Take her away.
**[07:51] ---**
    Right!
**[07:52] ---**
    Wait! I know nothing about this!
**[07:54] ---**
    Nothing!
**[08:11] ---**
    She was going to betray
    the village.
**[08:13] ---**
    How low can you get?
**[08:16] ---**
    *I'm not a conspirator.*
**[08:18] ---**
    *Even that map…*
**[08:21] ---**
    *It was him!*
**[08:24] ---**
    *He gave me the map*
    *to frame me…*
**[08:28] ---**
    *In fact, he must be planning*
    *something right now!*
**[08:33] ---**
    *I have to let them know.*
**[08:41] ---**
    Everyone!
**[08:43] ---**
    Hey—!
**[08:43] ---**
    I misjudged you, you idiot!
**[08:45] ---**
    Is this what you meant by not caring
    about the village anymore?
**[08:49] ---**
    That's enough, Hinata.
**[09:08] ---**
    Come on, pick up the pace.
**[09:17] ---**
    *I guess their reaction is*
    *to be expected.*
**[09:21] ---**
    *Damn it! These guys aren't*
    *my friends or anything.*
**[09:25] ---**
    *Who cares what happens*
    *to this fake village?*
**[09:31] ---**
    *But they even took my scroll.*
**[09:35] ---**
    *What's going to happen to me?*
**[09:42] ---**
    Over here, Tenten.
**[09:44] ---**
    Lee…?
**[09:48] ---**
    Are you okay, Tenten?
**[09:51] ---**
    From the looks of it…
**[09:52] ---**
    you seem to be in
    a real dilemma.
**[09:56] ---**
    I wasn't peeking!
**[09:58] ---**
    Neji, restrain yourself!
**[09:59] ---**
    If we're discovered,
    there'll be hell to pay.
**[10:02] ---**
    Yeah, sorry.
**[10:04] ---**
    You guys? Why…
**[10:07] ---**
    Sorry about earlier.
**[10:09] ---**
    If we defended you publicly,
**[10:12] ---**
    it would've made coming
    to see you difficult.
**[10:15] ---**
    Why are you here?
**[10:21] ---**
    Well, we couldn't ignore
    a comrade who's in trouble.
**[10:25] ---**
    We believe in you.
**[10:26] ---**
    First and foremost,
    we wanted to tell you that.
**[10:29] ---**
    I said you weren't my friends.
**[10:32] ---**
    As if we'd believe something
    so arbitrary!
**[10:35] ---**
    How long have we been together?
**[10:38] ---**
    Yeah, it's been every single day
**[10:41] ---**
    since we graduated from
    the Academy.
**[10:45] ---**
    You wanted to become
    a shinobi like Lady Tsunade,
**[10:48] ---**
    one of the Legendary Sannin.
**[10:51] ---**
    Neji wanted to change destiny.
**[10:53] ---**
    And I wanted to prove that
    I can be a supercool shinobi
**[10:57] ---**
    even if I can't do ninjutsu.
**[11:01] ---**
    Every day, even if there's wind,
    rain, storm or snow…
**[11:05] ---**
    On our birthdays, at new year's,
    during summer and Christmas…
**[11:10] ---**
    We three kept at it earnestly
**[11:12] ---**
    under Guy Sensei's
    over-the-top guidance…
**[11:14] ---**
    and never, ever gave up!
**[11:22] ---**
    Tenten?
**[11:23] ---**
    It's nothing.
**[11:25] ---**
    It's true, to Guy Sensei everything
    is a training exercise.
**[11:31] ---**
    Yeah, he's a real nuisance.
**[11:33] ---**
    Guy Sensei is a nice grown-up.
**[11:36] ---**
    He's really cool!
**[11:38] ---**
    – You sure about that?
    – Yes, he is cool!
**[11:39] ---**
    *It feels strange,*
**[11:41] ---**
    *having this conversation*
    *in here in this world…*
**[11:45] ---**
    *Maybe even in a fake world,*
    *our feelings can be true.*
**[11:51] ---**
    Lee, the guards will be making
    their rounds soon.
**[11:54] ---**
    We'll catch the real culprit!
**[11:58] ---**
    Wait!
**[11:59] ---**
    The man who tricked me
    is disguised as a merchant.
**[12:03] ---**
    But be careful.
**[12:06] ---**
    I'm sure he'll use this incident
    to cause some trouble.
**[12:10] ---**
    Got it. We'll warn everyone!
**[12:17] ---**
    Good luck…I guess.
**[12:42] ---**
    – It's an attack!
    – We're under attack!
**[12:48] ---**
    Damn it!
**[12:50] ---**
    Where did you come from?
**[12:54] ---**
    You scum!
**[13:02] ---**
    Are you all right, Lady Hinata?
**[13:04] ---**
    Why did they attack so suddenly?
**[13:07] ---**
    I thought the spying was done!
**[13:10] ---**
    Hinata, look!
**[13:18] ---**
    A Summoning Formula?
**[13:20] ---**
    So they're set up here and there
    to summon the enemy, huh?
**[13:26] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:34] ---**
    This is bad.
**[13:34] ---**
    Are Lee and the others okay?
**[13:49] ---**
    Him…
**[13:50] ---**
    Why are you—?
**[13:53] ---**
    I knew all about this thanks
    to intel that my dad received.
**[13:58] ---**
    Ever since you started
    acting strange,
**[14:02] ---**
    I've been secretly watching
    over you.
**[14:20] ---**
    I didn't notice you at all…
**[14:22] ---**
    But the whole time I was watching,
**[14:24] ---**
    you did nothing
    but research genjutsu.
**[14:28] ---**
    And when you were caught…
**[14:30] ---**
    I concluded that he was
    the real conspirator.
**[14:35] ---**
    I wanted to put an end to it
    before it came to this…
**[14:38] ---**
    But they activated
    the jutsu formula.
**[14:47] ---**
    This is—!
**[14:49] ---**
    It's important to you, right?
**[14:51] ---**
    On the way here,
**[14:53] ---**
    I spoke to the higher-ups
    about the conspirator.
**[14:56] ---**
    So, you're free to go.
**[14:59] ---**
    Why? I might desert
    the village again.
**[15:04] ---**
    To be honest,
    I can't figure you out.
**[15:08] ---**
    I don't know how to put it…
**[15:10] ---**
    I feel like you're Tenten,
    but not the Tenten I know.
**[15:15] ---**
    And you keep talking
    about "going home"
**[15:18] ---**
    And I think your home is located
    somewhere far away from this world.
**[15:29] ---**
    What was that?
**[15:31] ---**
    *Menma, can you hear me?*
**[15:32] ---**
    Lee?!
**[15:35] ---**
    Hurry! Get out of here!
**[15:49] ---**
    A giant Summoning Beast is
    going wild near the Academy.
**[15:53] ---**
    Everyone's trying to fight it off,
    but at this rate…
**[15:56] ---**
    We need your help right away!
**[15:59] ---**
    All right.
**[16:01] ---**
    I have to go.
**[16:02] ---**
    You should return to
    where you belong.
**[16:07] ---**
    It's true. I'm not from here.
**[16:11] ---**
    I want to save everyone,
    and I want to go home quickly.
**[16:15] ---**
    I thought I didn't care
    about this world.
**[16:19] ---**
    But…
**[16:22] ---**
    …let me go with you.
**[16:26] ---**
    I'm sure I can help.
**[16:36] ---**
    Super Expansion Jutsu!
**[16:41] ---**
    You…!
**[16:50] ---**
    Choji!
**[16:54] ---**
    Tenten!
**[16:58] ---**
    What are you doing here?!
**[17:02] ---**
    I've been cleared.
**[17:04] ---**
    I'm going to fight too!
**[17:07] ---**
    That's more like it!
**[17:08] ---**
    Fine… Let's stop this thing.
**[17:12] ---**
    Your fighting spirit is commendable,
    but this is where I come in.
**[17:15] ---**
    Menma!
**[17:17] ---**
    I knew you'd come!
**[17:19] ---**
    Everyone, get back.
**[17:21] ---**
    Right!
**[17:38] ---**
    The Leaf's Tailed Beast?!
**[17:47] ---**
    That's amazing!
**[17:48] ---**
    That's Menma for you!
**[17:50] ---**
    Go, Menma!
**[17:51] ---**
    Take it down!
**[17:58] ---**
    It ends here.
**[18:00] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf will be destroyed.
**[18:14] ---**
    What happened?
**[18:22] ---**
    No way…
**[18:23] ---**
    We can't stop another one.
**[18:25] ---**
    If it gets any closer…
**[18:28] ---**
    I'll take it from here.
**[18:32] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[18:33] ---**
    You can't handle that thing!
**[18:40] ---**
    We have to move back or
    the flames will get us!
**[18:42] ---**
    Please run away, Tenten!
**[18:45] ---**
    No, I won't run.
**[18:48] ---**
    I've made up my mind.
**[18:55] ---**
    I won't let it run wild.
**[18:57] ---**
    I'm going to save everyone!
**[19:33] ---**
    What you did was amazing.
**[19:36] ---**
    I can't believe you took on
    such a powerful enemy
**[19:38] ---**
    and stopped it cold!
**[19:39] ---**
    You're the top weapons
    handler of our day!
**[19:43] ---**
    When it comes to using Ninja Tools,
    no one comes close to you.
**[19:46] ---**
    I thought we were goners.
**[19:48] ---**
    Thank you for protecting us!
**[19:51] ---**
    Don't mention it.
**[19:51] ---**
    I wanted to do this.
**[19:55] ---**
    *Yes, it's just as I had hoped.*
**[19:59] ---**
    *I was able to protect everyone,*
    *and the world with my power!*
**[20:05] ---**
    *But…is this really okay?*
**[20:12] ---**
    It's okay.
**[20:14] ---**
    The fact that I'm alive
    and that the world is safe…
**[20:17] ---**
    is all thanks to you.
**[20:20] ---**
    Oh…okay.
**[20:24] ---**
    Let's celebrate…
    Tenten has come home!
**[20:29] ---**
    – Welcome home!
    – I'm so glad you're back.
**[20:32] ---**
    – This is great!
    – We can't do anything without you!
**[20:42] ---**
    I'm home!
**[22:38] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, all alone!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, just a brat,
    so forlorn.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Yo, Naruto!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Lord Killer Bee is here
    to save you, yeah!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Killer Bee?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    It was you!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    You spilled my instant ramen!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Killer Bee Rappuden: Part 1"
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    You can eat as much ramen
    as you want—
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    after we get out of here!

**[00:18] ---**
    It's the Infinite Tsukuyomi…
**[00:20] ---**
    So right now, everyone is…
**[00:23] ---**
    …inside a dream.
**[02:02] ---**
    *Killer Bee Rappuden: Part 1*
    
    
    
**[02:20] ---**
    Hey…
**[02:21] ---**
    Oh yeah, who are you?
**[02:28] ---**
    So, how do we proceed?
**[02:30] ---**
    Fool, ya fool!
    What else can we do?
**[02:34] ---**
    We're Jinchuriki.
**[02:35] ---**
    We're going straight through, baby!
**[02:55] ---**
    Stop!
**[02:56] ---**
    Intruder!
**[02:59] ---**
    What is that?
**[03:00] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, all alone!
**[03:03] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, just a brat,
    so forlorn.
**[03:10] ---**
    We've come to
    rescue you, Shukaku.
**[03:13] ---**
    Gyuki! Then he's—?
**[03:16] ---**
    Yeah, he's my Jinchuriki.
**[03:32] ---**
    Puppet Dolls.
**[03:34] ---**
    They're much bigger than dolls.
**[03:36] ---**
    Watch out.
    They move on their own!
**[03:38] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Eight-O!
**[03:40] ---**
    Don't put so much pressure on me!
**[03:48] ---**
    Why you—!
**[03:52] ---**
    Let's run, baby.
**[03:54] ---**
    Run?
**[03:55] ---**
    Are you asking me
    to desert my village?
**[03:57] ---**
    Fool, ya fool!
    Be freer!
**[04:00] ---**
    Besides, we have a mission
    that's greater than our village
**[04:04] ---**
    or the Five Great Nations.
**[04:06] ---**
    Mission?
**[04:07] ---**
    That's right.
    We have a mission,
**[04:10] ---**
    something only
    we Jinchuriki can fulfill.
**[04:28] ---**
    How's that?
**[04:35] ---**
    I'm out of chakra…
**[04:38] ---**
    Run!
**[05:00] ---**
    Damn it!
**[05:02] ---**
    I have to get my gourd back.
**[05:04] ---**
    Don't worry. Is this it?
**[05:07] ---**
    The source of Gaara of
    the Sand's Absolute Defense.
**[05:10] ---**
    We mustn't forget this, Bee.
**[05:14] ---**
    Thank you.
**[05:16] ---**
    Long time no see, Shukaku.
**[05:18] ---**
    You're here too, Matatabi?
**[05:21] ---**
    You can stop pretending
    to be asleep.
**[05:24] ---**
    It's not like I was sleeping
    because I wanted to!
**[05:27] ---**
    So what do we do next?
**[05:29] ---**
    We got One,
    so next is Nine.
**[05:32] ---**
    Then I'll go and look
    for the other one.
**[05:35] ---**
    I'll leave it to you, baby.
**[05:39] ---**
    And you come with me, Gaara.
**[05:41] ---**
    Nine Tails? Where is he?
**[05:44] ---**
    In the Land of Fire,
    in Hidden Leaf Village.
**[05:53] ---**
    Let me out! Let me out! Hey!
**[05:59] ---**
    I'm gonna become the Hokage!
**[06:02] ---**
    Just leave it at that!
**[06:04] ---**
    Day in and day out.
**[06:06] ---**
    You know it's impossible.
    Don't you ever get tired of that?
**[06:09] ---**
    It's not impossible!
**[06:11] ---**
    If I keep making a racket like this…
**[06:13] ---**
    Let me out!
**[06:15] ---**
    Shut up!
    Eat this and be quiet.
**[06:18] ---**
    Yes! It's here!
**[06:20] ---**
    This is what it takes
    to shut me up.
**[06:22] ---**
    Damn it.
**[06:23] ---**
    Just a little more…
**[06:24] ---**
    Stop!
**[06:25] ---**
    Intruder!
**[06:28] ---**
    My ramen!
**[06:37] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, all alone!
**[06:40] ---**
    A Jinchuriki, just a brat, so forlorn.
**[06:43] ---**
    Yo, Naruto! Lord Killer Bee
    is here to save you, yay!
**[06:47] ---**
    Killer Bee?
**[06:49] ---**
    Was it you?
    Did you drop my instant ramen?!
**[06:52] ---**
    You can eat as much ramen
    as you want
**[06:54] ---**
    after we get out of here!
**[06:56] ---**
    Stand back.
**[07:00] ---**
    Get back, Naruto.
    He's on our side.
**[07:03] ---**
    Uh, okay.
**[07:06] ---**
    Ouch, ouch, ouch!
**[07:08] ---**
    Watch out.
**[07:09] ---**
    It's a special barrier jutsu
    made to bind Tailed Beasts.
**[07:16] ---**
    Weeee!
**[07:21] ---**
    Lariat!
**[07:32] ---**
    Awesome!
**[07:33] ---**
    How did you do that just now?
    Can you teach it to me?
**[07:37] ---**
    We have to hurry
    out of this village.
**[07:39] ---**
    What?
**[07:40] ---**
    What about my ramen?
**[07:41] ---**
    You can eat some
    somewhere else!
**[07:43] ---**
    I want Ichiraku's miso
    and char siu ramen.
**[07:46] ---**
    I won't let you get away!
**[08:12] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[08:14] ---**
    Ouch…
**[08:15] ---**
    This is…
**[08:17] ---**
    We're probably underground
    somewhere within the Leaf Village.
**[08:21] ---**
    You think this is
    where the Foundation was?
**[08:29] ---**
    You've got guts,
    trying to steal the Leaf's Jinchuriki.
**[08:34] ---**
    It's the Hokage…
**[08:35] ---**
    Granny Tsunade!
**[08:37] ---**
    Furthermore,
    you're Jinchuriki too…
**[08:41] ---**
    Tailed Beasts that flew
    right into the flame…
**[08:44] ---**
    Do you want to become
    the Leaf's Jinchuriki too,
**[08:48] ---**
    Jinchuriki of the Sand, and friends?
**[08:51] ---**
    I won't let that happen.
**[08:56] ---**
    Hey, what's wrong?
**[09:00] ---**
    No bra…
**[09:02] ---**
    Nah, she's fooling you.
**[09:04] ---**
    She's an old lady, y'know!
**[09:07] ---**
    How come you're so tense, Octopops?
**[09:10] ---**
    Hey! What're you focusing on, Bee?!
**[09:15] ---**
    We'll settle it with this!
**[09:19] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
    You can't be serious?!
**[09:22] ---**
    We're dealing with
    three Jinchuriki.
**[09:25] ---**
    We can't have them
    ravaging the village.
**[09:28] ---**
    Okay, odds or evens,
    a single round!
**[09:32] ---**
    If I lose, you're free to go
    anywhere you like.
**[09:35] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[09:36] ---**
    If that's the case,
    let me do this!
**[09:38] ---**
    Stay out of this, Shizune!
**[09:40] ---**
    Don't spoil my fun…
**[09:42] ---**
    I mean, this is the Hokage's job!
**[09:45] ---**
    But your gambling skills aren't…
**[09:48] ---**
    I would like to…
**[09:51] ---**
    check the dice.
**[09:53] ---**
    Be my guest.
**[10:00] ---**
    Shukaku.
**[10:01] ---**
    You got it.
**[10:07] ---**
    They're good.
**[10:08] ---**
    Lady Tsunade, did you just see—?!
**[10:10] ---**
    Shut up, Shizune!
**[10:14] ---**
    Yes, ma'am…
**[10:16] ---**
    Fine. Let's begin.
**[10:18] ---**
    Well then…
**[10:29] ---**
    *H-Hey…You're shaking it too much.*
**[10:36] ---**
    Okay, place your bet!
    Odd or even!
**[10:39] ---**
    Even!
**[10:41] ---**
    It's even, okay?
**[10:43] ---**
    And I'm odd!
**[10:45] ---**
    The bets are placed!
**[10:47] ---**
    And the winner is—!
**[10:51] ---**
    It's…snake eyes…
**[10:55] ---**
    I feel sick!
**[11:00] ---**
    What's going on
    with this raccoon dog?
**[11:01] ---**
    That's cheating!
**[11:03] ---**
    Why you—!
**[11:07] ---**
    Why don't you…
**[11:08] ---**
    Take this!
**[11:11] ---**
    Make a run for it!
**[11:12] ---**
    Hey, Octopops!
**[11:13] ---**
    Bra…
**[11:14] ---**
    Get yourself together!
**[11:15] ---**
    This way!
**[11:16] ---**
    Stop!
**[11:25] ---**
    Made it!
**[11:27] ---**
    That went well!
**[11:28] ---**
    How?!
**[11:30] ---**
    We got the Nine Tails Jinchuriki
    without a scratch…
**[11:32] ---**
    We worked together,
    now we're pals.
**[11:35] ---**
    Ramen…
**[11:38] ---**
    Ichiraku ramen…
**[11:41] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump!
**[11:45] ---**
    Lemme eat ramen!
**[11:47] ---**
    Hey, you've got some potential.
**[11:50] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump…
**[11:52] ---**
    Lemme eat ramen.
**[11:54] ---**
    We're friends, me and you.
**[11:55] ---**
    Menma and char siu.
**[11:57] ---**
    Let's cooperate and
    help each other
**[11:58] ---**
    Add an extra egg to my order.
**[12:01] ---**
    We're Jinchuriki,
    and we should be pals,
**[12:04] ---**
    each and every one of us…
**[12:06] ---**
    But now, we're far apart
    and feeling suspicious
**[12:10] ---**
    So you're planning
    to find the rest of us?
**[12:13] ---**
    That's the plan for now.
**[12:16] ---**
    Let's go!
**[12:30] ---**
    I wanted to settle this amicably,
    but there's nothing more to say.
**[12:34] ---**
    Use force if you have to.
**[12:37] ---**
    Just bring Naruto back before
    he crosses the border.
**[12:40] ---**
    Right!
**[12:41] ---**
    What should we do about
    the Cloud and Sand's Jinchuriki?
**[12:45] ---**
    I won't ask the impossible and
    ask you to capture them.
**[12:48] ---**
    We are talking
    about Jinchuriki here.
**[12:50] ---**
    Capturing three at the same time
    is damn near impossible.
**[12:52] ---**
    The priority is capturing Naruto.
**[12:54] ---**
    The Jinchuriki are
    traveling northwest.
**[12:58] ---**
    I believe they're headed
    for the Hidden Waterfall.
**[13:01] ---**
    Go!
**[13:02] ---**
    – Right!
    – Right!
**[13:07] ---**
    The Tailed Beast's power
    isn't at 100% right now.
**[13:11] ---**
    Do you know why?
**[13:13] ---**
    Because most of the power
    was stolen.
**[13:16] ---**
    Yes.
**[13:18] ---**
    That's why if every Tailed Beast
    goes at full power,
**[13:20] ---**
    chakra will be used up
    in no time.
**[13:22] ---**
    Stolen? By whom?
**[13:25] ---**
    The Akatsuki.
**[13:26] ---**
    Akatsuki?
**[13:28] ---**
    They plan to use the power
    of the Tailed Beasts
**[13:30] ---**
    to change the world.
**[13:33] ---**
    There's a princess who is trying
    to oppose the Akatsuki.
**[13:37] ---**
    So we're gonna protect her and
**[13:39] ---**
    take back
    the Tailed Beast's power.
**[13:43] ---**
    Where is she?
**[13:44] ---**
    In a certain castle.
**[13:46] ---**
    But first, we have to gather
    our comrades…
**[13:48] ---**
    All nine Jinchuriki.
**[13:51] ---**
    They're sure to make their move
    during the next full moon.
**[13:55] ---**
    So by then…
**[13:58] ---**
    We should avoid
    all known paths and highways.
**[14:00] ---**
    Right.
**[14:03] ---**
    Oh! Just wait a minute. Look!
**[14:11] ---**
    What about a tea stand
    at the mountain ridge?
**[14:12] ---**
    It's not a tea stand!
    It's a ramen stand!
**[14:15] ---**
    ICHIRAKU ON THE MOUNTAIN PASS
    
**[14:18] ---**
    WORLD FAMOUS SANSAI RAMEN
    
**[14:26] ---**
    Control yourself until we get
    to the Hidden Waterfall.
**[14:28] ---**
    The Hidden Waterfall doesn't
    have a single shop
**[14:29] ---**
    listed on the map of
    nationwide ramen shops!
**[14:32] ---**
    Let's get a move on.
**[14:33] ---**
    Before they catch up,
    we have to be gone.
**[14:34] ---**
    Aw man!
**[14:40] ---**
    It looks like they're already here.
**[14:42] ---**
    Instead of scrambling,
**[14:43] ---**
    why don't just hunker down
    and prepare for them here?
**[15:03] ---**
    So tasty! This is so good!
**[15:10] ---**
    I pity anyone who hasn't tasted
    ramen this good!
**[15:19] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[15:26] ---**
    Please don't resist.
**[15:28] ---**
    We only have business
    with Naruto.
**[15:30] ---**
    I don't want your business!
**[15:32] ---**
    A shadow clone?!
**[15:36] ---**
    Sand?
**[15:41] ---**
    An octopus leg?
**[15:44] ---**
    Acrobat!
**[15:49] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[15:50] ---**
    Let's do this!
**[16:12] ---**
    Use my chakra!
**[16:22] ---**
    I won't let you!
**[16:33] ---**
    Weee!
**[16:34] ---**
    Yugao!
**[16:39] ---**
    Wee!
**[16:42] ---**
    Why you—!
**[16:48] ---**
    Everyone, get back!
**[16:53] ---**
    Roar, Strong Arm!
**[16:57] ---**
    Wood Style!
**[16:58] ---**
    Domed Wall!
**[17:13] ---**
    Where did they go?
**[17:17] ---**
    They got away…
**[17:19] ---**
    Or rather, they retreated.
**[17:22] ---**
    Yeah, but I doubt if
    they've given up.
**[17:24] ---**
    Is once the limit for
    Tailed Beast Lariat?
**[17:28] ---**
    It seems so. Sorry, Bee…
**[17:31] ---**
    No worries, Eight-O.
**[17:33] ---**
    C'mon, let's go.
**[17:43] ---**
    I guess this isn't the time
    to be eating, after all.
**[17:46] ---**
    Of course not.
**[17:52] ---**
    One Jinchuriki is hard enough,
**[17:53] ---**
    but with three of them
    joined together,
**[17:55] ---**
    ordinary means won't work.
**[17:57] ---**
    But at least it's clear right now
**[18:00] ---**
    that the Tailed Beasts can't
    release their original power.
**[18:05] ---**
    It seems their chakra
    runs out right away.
**[18:07] ---**
    I attached a transmitter
    on them,
**[18:09] ---**
    so we'll track them and
    wait for reinforcements.
**[18:12] ---**
    We're okay, Captain Yamato.
**[18:14] ---**
    Let's go.
**[18:15] ---**
    The Tailed Beasts may
    have run out of chakra,
**[18:18] ---**
    but we're still dealing
    with Gaara of the Sand
**[18:19] ---**
    and the Cloud's Killer Bee.
**[18:20] ---**
    We can't make any mistakes
    from here on.
**[18:22] ---**
    And…
**[18:28] ---**
    Hidden Waterfall Village
    is just as I expected,
**[18:30] ---**
    the scenery is amazing.
**[18:32] ---**
    But Octopops…
**[18:35] ---**
    What do we do now?
**[18:36] ---**
    We don't even know
**[18:38] ---**
    what the Seven Tails Jinchuriki
    looks like, right?
**[18:40] ---**
    It's sure to work out quick.
**[18:42] ---**
    Jinchuriki are fans
    of arithmetic.
**[18:44] ---**
    I hate arithmetic!
**[18:46] ---**
    And stop talking nonsense!
**[18:48] ---**
    Be careful, Bee.
**[18:50] ---**
    I sense something ominous
    coming our way.
**[18:51] ---**
    Naruto!
**[18:53] ---**
    Gaara!
**[18:58] ---**
    That guy's Itachi…
**[19:07] ---**
    Akatsuki…
**[19:08] ---**
    That's them?
**[19:10] ---**
    Each member in the Akatsuki
    has a unique ninjutsu.
**[19:14] ---**
    What's more,
    Itachi possesses the Sharingan
**[19:16] ---**
    and can put Tailed Beasts
    under genjutsu.
**[19:19] ---**
    Do not look directly
    into his eyes.
**[19:24] ---**
    We have learned that Jinchuriki
    have joined together
**[19:27] ---**
    and are behaving suspiciously.
**[19:30] ---**
    And we, the Akatsuki,
    cannot overlook that.
**[19:33] ---**
    Fool, ya fool…
    You stole our line.
**[19:37] ---**
    What about that Akatsuki,
    what's your design?
**[19:41] ---**
    You guys want to tangle
    with us?
**[19:44] ---**
    I'll take that one.
**[19:47] ---**
    It's an even three versus three.
**[19:49] ---**
    Yeah! That's perfect!
**[19:51] ---**
    Hold your horses, you guys.
**[19:54] ---**
    We Jinchuriki, get into formation,
    dance in joint collaboration.
**[20:02] ---**
    Naruto! I'll take care of that one!
**[20:07] ---**
    Looks like I get to take you on.
**[20:16] ---**
    For some reason,
    I really want to take you down.
**[20:19] ---**
    I'll beat you at
    your own game, hmm.
**[20:21] ---**
    Not if I can help it!
**[20:23] ---**
    Itachi!
**[20:24] ---**
    Sasuke left the village
    to go after you!
**[20:27] ---**
    What are you gonna do?!
**[20:44] ---**
    Wake up, Naruto! It's a genjutsu!
**[20:50] ---**
    We don't want a brawl
    We just want safety for us all.
**[20:56] ---**
    Acrobat!
**[20:58] ---**
    For Jinchuriki… Yearlong security!
**[22:37] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Just hearing that we're Jinchuriki
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    makes people hate us
    and detest us.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    That's our fate as Jinchuriki!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Fool ya fool!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Then we're just gonna have to
    bust through that fate, right?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    We're the same Jinchuriki as you.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

**[01:30] ---**
    *Killer Bee Rappuden: Part 2*
    
    
**[01:58] ---**
    Acrobat!
**[02:12] ---**
    So the Jinchuriki can fight,
    a little.
**[02:16] ---**
    I can fight well, I'm infallible.
    But to you, I can't be affable.
**[02:19] ---**
    If you know where Sasuke is…
**[02:21] ---**
    …tell me!
**[02:25] ---**
    What?
**[02:31] ---**
    Sasori! Deidara!
    I'm done here.
**[02:34] ---**
    What do you mean, "I'm done"?
**[02:37] ---**
    I'm leaving the Akatsuki.
**[02:39] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[02:42] ---**
    I'm leaving with Nagato.
**[02:45] ---**
    Don't run away!
**[02:47] ---**
    Hey, so what are we going to do,
    Sasori, my man?
**[02:50] ---**
    Do you need to even ask?
**[02:52] ---**
    We're going to
    take them down ourselves!
**[02:55] ---**
    It's three against two.
**[02:56] ---**
    Doesn't matter.
**[02:58] ---**
    Guess you're right, hmm.
**[03:00] ---**
    I'll show them my art.
**[03:04] ---**
    What is this?
**[03:05] ---**
    Hey, you!
**[03:06] ---**
    Why are you causing an uproar
    in the Hidden Waterfall Village?
**[03:12] ---**
    Who is that?
**[03:14] ---**
    That's the Seven Tails' Jinchuriki!
**[03:16] ---**
    She is?
**[03:17] ---**
    Hey, Chomei!
**[03:19] ---**
    Fuu, they're comrades.
**[03:21] ---**
    Comrades? Of mine?
**[03:24] ---**
    Hey, Jinchuriki!
    They're the enemy!
**[03:29] ---**
    I don't understand
    what you're saying.
**[03:33] ---**
    Now it's four against two.
**[03:34] ---**
    Okay, let's retreat!
**[03:36] ---**
    What? Okay!
**[03:40] ---**
    I'll get you next time!
**[03:42] ---**
    What? They took off!
**[03:51] ---**
    You're Fuu of
    the Hidden Waterfall, right?
**[03:53] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump!
**[04:07] ---**
    Hey, what's the matter?
**[04:09] ---**
    You're kinda shady, mister.
**[04:11] ---**
    What're you saying, baby?
**[04:13] ---**
    C'mon, gimme a fist bump!
**[04:17] ---**
    Hey, what's the matter?!
**[04:19] ---**
    You're kinda shady, mister.
**[04:21] ---**
    What're you saying, baby?
**[04:24] ---**
    C'mon!
    Gimme a fist bump!
**[04:26] ---**
    No!
**[04:27] ---**
    – A fist bump!
    – No!
**[04:29] ---**
    – Give it here!
    – No!
**[04:31] ---**
    – Give it here!
    – No!
**[04:34] ---**
    At any rate…
    just give him a fist bump.
**[04:37] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump!
**[04:39] ---**
    No!
**[04:50] ---**
    Wait! You have a mission
    to carry out!
**[04:53] ---**
    I don't take orders from shinobi
    from another village!
**[04:56] ---**
    We're comrades.
    You could even say we are friends.
**[05:01] ---**
    Friends? We're friends?
**[05:04] ---**
    Yes. You are not alone.
**[05:18] ---**
    Fuu seems to have
    softened up to Gaara!
**[05:21] ---**
    This started out
    with a lot of trouble.
**[05:22] ---**
    But I'll say,
    the result is acceptable.
**[05:24] ---**
    Octopops, I think your facial hair
    and shades are to blame.
**[05:28] ---**
    Shut up!
    Let's move on to the next one!
**[05:34] ---**
    Ten Tails?
    What's that?
**[05:37] ---**
    A gigantic weapon that
    the Akatsuki summoned!
**[05:40] ---**
    It absorbed
    the Tailed Beasts' chakra
**[05:43] ---**
    which is why we can't
    utilize our full power.
**[05:45] ---**
    Right now, Ten Tails can't summon
    its full power either.
**[05:49] ---**
    The princess of Rappu Castle
    sealed it.
**[05:51] ---**
    But the Ten Tails has ultimate power
    on the night of the full moon.
**[05:55] ---**
    They'll target the princess
    and go to the castle.
**[05:58] ---**
    Unless every Jinchuriki
    comes together,
**[06:02] ---**
    we won't have a chance against it.
**[06:05] ---**
    The nine of us will protect
    the princess and the castle…yay.
**[06:17] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump.
**[06:22] ---**
    W-What's the big idea?
**[06:26] ---**
    Hey, Son Goku!
**[06:28] ---**
    Tell him that we're not enemies!
**[06:31] ---**
    You heard him.
**[06:33] ---**
    I'm sorry about that.
**[06:35] ---**
    Suspicious characters
    have been showing up lately.
**[06:39] ---**
    So I assumed you were one of them.
**[06:41] ---**
    I'm telling you…
    it's that facial hair and shades.
**[06:45] ---**
    No need to critique my physique.
**[06:49] ---**
    What do you mean by
    "suspicious characters"?
**[06:52] ---**
    I don't know who they are…
**[06:54] ---**
    but they've been kidnapping
    children from our village.
**[07:03] ---**
    It definitely appears like
    it's tracking prey…
**[07:06] ---**
    Chomei!
**[07:08] ---**
    Let's chase 'em away!
**[07:09] ---**
    Agreed.
**[07:13] ---**
    Scale Powder!
**[07:19] ---**
    It was a summoning?
**[07:23] ---**
    If you interfere,
    I'll show you no mercy.
**[07:26] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[07:28] ---**
    Naruto…
    You were able to leave the village?
**[07:32] ---**
    What about you?
    You're coming back to the village!
**[07:35] ---**
    I don't take orders from you!
**[07:37] ---**
    Are you the kidnapper?!
**[07:40] ---**
    What of it?
**[07:42] ---**
    Sasuke! You've stooped so low
    to be Orochimaru's underling,
**[07:46] ---**
    that you've started
    doing things like this?
**[07:48] ---**
    And you don't even know
    how Itachi's feels!
**[07:50] ---**
    Don't you dare mention
    Itachi's name!
**[07:52] ---**
    Itachi deserted the Akatsuki
    and is looking for you!
**[07:56] ---**
    What?
**[07:57] ---**
    My, my…
**[07:59] ---**
    A gathering of Jinchuriki…
**[08:00] ---**
    I wonder what
    you're all planning to do?
**[08:05] ---**
    Orochimaru…
**[08:07] ---**
    Although you're probably helpless
**[08:09] ---**
    because your Tailed Beast powers
    have been stolen…
**[08:14] ---**
    Sasuke… Shall we destroy them?
**[08:17] ---**
    Orochimaru… I'm done here.
**[08:20] ---**
    What? What do you mean
    "I'm done"?
**[08:24] ---**
    I'm going after Itachi.
**[08:27] ---**
    Hey, hold it!
**[08:28] ---**
    Naruto!
**[08:29] ---**
    Don't forget the mission at hand!
**[08:31] ---**
    You're the one
    behind the kidnappings!
**[08:33] ---**
    I'll punish you now!
**[08:35] ---**
    Powerless Jinchuriki…
**[08:37] ---**
    I wouldn't talk if I were you…
**[08:40] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:46] ---**
    So, what are you going to do?
**[08:51] ---**
    Son Goku!
**[08:59] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[09:00] ---**
    I'm okay!
**[09:06] ---**
    I'm out of chakra…
**[09:08] ---**
    Shukaku!
**[09:16] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[09:17] ---**
    I'm okay!
**[09:19] ---**
    My turn!
**[09:25] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[09:26] ---**
    I'm okay…
**[09:28] ---**
    Tailed Beast Lariat!
**[09:34] ---**
    L-Lord Orochimaru!
**[09:36] ---**
    Oh my…This is too much
    even for me.
**[09:39] ---**
    Take this!
**[09:47] ---**
    – Well?!
    – We did it!
**[09:49] ---**
    No, that's just shed skin.
**[09:51] ---**
    Even if they're weakened,
**[09:53] ---**
    they still pack a punch
    when they join forces.
**[09:56] ---**
    He's as tough as ever.
**[09:58] ---**
    But he looks worn out!
**[10:00] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru…
**[10:01] ---**
    I'll get you next time!
**[10:04] ---**
    One down…
**[10:08] ---**
    Come with us so that we can
    put a stop to the Akatsuki's plot.
**[10:13] ---**
    All right.
**[10:15] ---**
    We'll join up with Yugito
    and the others.
**[10:22] ---**
    I still can't locate Yagura,
    the Three Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[10:26] ---**
    He wasn't in the Land of Water.
**[10:28] ---**
    Any clues?
**[10:30] ---**
    Yagura is supposedly heading to
    some wetlands somewhere…
**[10:35] ---**
    But I can't verify it.
**[10:37] ---**
    Even if you can't, we need
    all of the Jinchuriki, right?
**[10:42] ---**
    Yeah, unless every Jinchuriki
    comes together,
**[10:45] ---**
    we can't beat the Ten Tails!
**[10:47] ---**
    Those guys will begin their attack
    on the next full moon…
**[10:50] ---**
    targeting the time when
    the seal will weaken.
**[10:53] ---**
    How much time do we have left?
**[10:55] ---**
    About seven days.
**[10:57] ---**
    Let's split up and
    search for Yagura.
**[10:59] ---**
    Otherwise,
**[11:01] ---**
    we'll have to fight the Akatsuki
    with one member short?
**[11:04] ---**
    We'll split up into two-man teams
    and search in all four directions.
**[11:07] ---**
    All right, everyone!
**[11:09] ---**
    No matter what the result,
**[11:10] ---**
    do not fail to gather at
    Rappu Castle in seven days!
**[11:14] ---**
    Let's go, Yugito!
**[11:26] ---**
    Look forward to working with you.
**[11:28] ---**
    Okay…
**[11:42] ---**
    Can you see anything?
**[11:43] ---**
    No…
    There's mist everywhere.
**[11:47] ---**
    Then I'll check around in Sage Mode.
**[11:58] ---**
    What's that?!
**[11:59] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[12:00] ---**
    Pursuers from the Leaf…
**[12:03] ---**
    They're looking for me!
**[12:10] ---**
    Get on!
**[12:15] ---**
    It seems no one wants to give
    Jinchuriki their freedom.
**[12:19] ---**
    Yeah…
**[12:20] ---**
    They treat us like dangerous vessels
    that contain Tailed Beasts.
**[12:23] ---**
    We're not dangerous,
    and neither are Tailed Beasts!
**[12:41] ---**
    It's Yagura,
    the Three Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[12:46] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump.
**[12:49] ---**
    I refuse.
**[12:51] ---**
    Isobu, tell him!
**[12:54] ---**
    Without a doubt,
    these two look suspicious,
**[12:56] ---**
    but they are Jinchuriki friends.
**[13:00] ---**
    Jinchuriki don't have friends.
**[13:03] ---**
    Just being Jinchuriki fills people
    with fear, resentment and hatred.
**[13:09] ---**
    Sometimes, we're hunted by
    people of our own village.
**[13:13] ---**
    That's our fate as Jinchuriki!
**[13:16] ---**
    So I want no part of this.
**[13:17] ---**
    I'll stay here by myself.
**[13:20] ---**
    We need your power.
**[13:22] ---**
    Go away!
**[13:23] ---**
    Come with us.
**[13:24] ---**
    That is your destiny.
**[13:28] ---**
    Don't force anymore destiny on me.
**[13:34] ---**
    Do you want me to force him?
**[13:36] ---**
    Stay out of this.
**[13:41] ---**
    We are all Jinchuriki.
**[13:44] ---**
    The fate forced on me as a Jinchuriki
    is more than enough for me!
**[13:51] ---**
    Whether it was forced on you or not,
    this is your fate!
**[13:55] ---**
    Shut up!
**[13:56] ---**
    Fool, ya fool…
**[13:59] ---**
    As long as it's your destiny,
    you've got to see it through!
**[14:13] ---**
    Bee?!
**[14:16] ---**
    You!
**[14:17] ---**
    We're the same Jinchuriki as you.
**[14:20] ---**
    We don't fear you.
    We don't resent you.
**[14:22] ---**
    And we don't hate you.
**[14:24] ---**
    Gimme a fist bump.
**[14:28] ---**
    Let's combine your power
    with ours.
**[14:56] ---**
    It will soon be the night
    of the full moon.
**[14:58] ---**
    How come Octopops isn't here?
    He's the one who planned all of this.
**[15:02] ---**
    Not just one person is missing,
    but three.
**[15:06] ---**
    Will we be able to pull this off?
**[15:08] ---**
    Probably not.
**[15:10] ---**
    What should we do, Aunty Yugito?
**[15:13] ---**
    "Aunty"?
**[15:14] ---**
    Oh, I mean… Sister Yugito.
**[15:18] ---**
    We have no choice but to have faith
    that Bee and the others will come.
**[15:22] ---**
    They've appeared.
**[15:33] ---**
    Go!
**[15:38] ---**
    Let's go too, hmm.
**[15:41] ---**
    No need to rush.
    Wait for the moon to rise.
**[15:48] ---**
    The Akatsuki genin are attacking!
**[15:51] ---**
    Defend the castle!
    Don't let a single one get inside!
**[15:58] ---**
    Water Style: Bubble Jutsu!
**[16:00] ---**
    Lava Style: Scorching Rocks Jutsu!
**[16:04] ---**
    Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken!
**[16:17] ---**
    Looks like we have to
    get involved, hmm?
**[16:20] ---**
    That's not necessary.
**[16:28] ---**
    The Gedo Statue?!
**[16:29] ---**
    They're gonna use that to attack!
**[16:32] ---**
    It won't be at full strength,
    but it should suffice.
**[16:35] ---**
    But there isn't a single fragment
    of art to it though.
**[16:41] ---**
    It's a Tailed Beast Bomb!
**[16:43] ---**
    Damn! The way I am right now,
    I can't take it down.
**[17:21] ---**
    Is everyone okay?
**[17:28] ---**
    Now! Charge!
**[17:33] ---**
    Th-This isn't good!
**[17:35] ---**
    Steam Dash!
**[17:44] ---**
    That's...!
**[17:46] ---**
    Friends!
**[17:48] ---**
    Now that I'm here,
    you don't have to worry!
**[17:52] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[17:53] ---**
    You're late, Octopops!
**[17:55] ---**
    But you found Yagura of the Three Tails!
**[17:58] ---**
    Yeah! All nine of us are together!
**[18:02] ---**
    Okay, Jinchuriki!
**[18:10] ---**
    Raise your fists!
**[18:23] ---**
    What is that?!
**[18:25] ---**
    One Tail.
**[18:26] ---**
    Two Tails.
**[18:27] ---**
    Three Tails.
**[18:28] ---**
    Four Tails.
**[18:29] ---**
    Five Tails.
**[18:30] ---**
    Six Tails.
**[18:31] ---**
    Seven Tails.
**[18:33] ---**
    Eight Tails.
**[18:34] ---**
    And Nine Tails, y'know!
**[18:36] ---**
    We are the Jinchuriki
    who stand before you!
**[18:42] ---**
    That's kind of artsy!
**[18:45] ---**
    It doesn't matter at this point
    if they're assembled together.
**[19:04] ---**
    Hey, hey…
**[19:05] ---**
    There are Tailed Beast Bombs
    over there too.
**[19:06] ---**
    What of it?
**[19:20] ---**
    Shukaku!
**[19:21] ---**
    Matatabi!
**[19:22] ---**
    Isobu!
**[19:23] ---**
    Son Goku!
**[19:24] ---**
    Kokuo!
**[19:25] ---**
    Saiken!
**[19:27] ---**
    Chomei!
**[19:28] ---**
    Gyuki!
**[19:29] ---**
    Kurama!
**[19:42] ---**
    This isn't good!
**[20:00] ---**
    Don't think you've won!
**[20:02] ---**
    Next time,
    I swear you're going down! Hmm!
**[20:11] ---**
    Phew…
    I'm pooped.
**[20:14] ---**
    I'm out of chakra again.
**[20:18] ---**
    We won.
**[20:20] ---**
    We did it!
**[20:22] ---**
    Yeah, we did.
**[20:23] ---**
    But unless we get back
    our Tailed Beast power,
**[20:27] ---**
    we can't call this a true victory.
**[20:30] ---**
    That said…
**[20:32] ---**
    Today's a huge win!
**[22:37] ---**
    Karin! Wake up!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Karin! Get a hold of yourself!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I'll go get the Medical unit now!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Sasuke, Sasuke, it's okay…
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It's too—
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    So…so…I have a request…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    "To See That Smile,
    Just One More Time."
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Like that one time, back then…
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    TO SEE THAT SMILE,
    JUST ONE MORE TIME

**[00:27] ---**
    Karin! Wake up! Karin!
**[00:30] ---**
    Hang in there!
**[00:31] ---**
    I'll get the Medical Corps
    right away!
**[00:35] ---**
    Sasuke, Sasuke, it's okay…
**[00:40] ---**
    It's too—
**[00:41] ---**
    It's okay… So please…
**[00:44] ---**
    Please…
**[00:46] ---**
    Okay?
**[00:48] ---**
    Sasuke, please…smile.
**[00:52] ---**
    Smile, Sasuke.
**[00:55] ---**
    Like that one time.
**[02:28] ---**
    *To See That Smile,*
    *Just One More Time*
    
    
**[02:32] ---**
    No!
**[02:34] ---**
    Karin…
**[02:35] ---**
    You said you didn't feel well.
**[02:38] ---**
    Hurry up!
**[02:39] ---**
    We have to help out.
**[02:41] ---**
    It's the requirement for us
    being allowed to stay here.
**[02:43] ---**
    But!
**[02:44] ---**
    I'll be right back.
**[02:46] ---**
    No!
**[02:47] ---**
    Be a good girl.
**[02:48] ---**
    Mom!
**[02:53] ---**
    Mom!
**[02:56] ---**
    Mom…
**[03:12] ---**
    Stand up.
**[03:17] ---**
    MEDICAL
     HIDDEN GRASS HOSPITAL
**[03:18] ---**
    Where are we?
**[03:20] ---**
    We took huge losses
    from a surprise attack.
**[03:24] ---**
    The village is overflowing
    with the wounded.
**[03:27] ---**
    We won't make it with
    just your mother.
**[03:36] ---**
    Mom?!
**[03:54] ---**
    Let me go!
**[03:56] ---**
    My mom…!
**[03:57] ---**
    My mom is—!
**[03:59] ---**
    There was no other choice
    in order to protect the village!
**[04:02] ---**
    What—?!
**[04:03] ---**
    It's unfortunate that
    you lost your mother,
**[04:06] ---**
    but we still have more wounded.
**[04:18] ---**
    You're late!
**[04:20] ---**
    Where's that woman?
**[04:21] ---**
    She's dead.
**[04:23] ---**
    She's going to take over
    from today.
**[04:25] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:26] ---**
    This child? Can she handle it?
**[04:29] ---**
    She is that woman's daughter.
**[04:31] ---**
    She has the same ability.
**[04:32] ---**
    No!
**[04:33] ---**
    Let me go!
**[04:34] ---**
    No!
**[04:36] ---**
    We're letting you stay
**[04:37] ---**
    because you have
    nowhere else to go.
**[04:39] ---**
    Work enough to earn your stay!
**[04:42] ---**
    It hurts!
**[04:45] ---**
    Damn it! It hurts!
**[04:47] ---**
    Don't worry!
**[04:48] ---**
    We'll heal you in no time.
**[04:50] ---**
    No!
**[04:51] ---**
    Now go on, bite!
**[04:58] ---**
    Please…stop.
**[05:08] ---**
    We took your mother
    to your house.
**[05:13] ---**
    From tomorrow,
**[05:15] ---**
    go to the hospital even
    if no one comes to get you.
**[05:46] ---**
    Over there! Send more chakra!
**[05:49] ---**
    Forget him! It's too late.
**[05:51] ---**
    Check the one next to him.
**[05:53] ---**
    Don't dawdle! Come with me!
**[05:55] ---**
    That one can be treated
    with medicine.
**[05:57] ---**
    Continue just like that.
**[06:02] ---**
    Now this one!
**[06:03] ---**
    Hurry and come with me!
**[06:11] ---**
    Hey, you have work to do!
**[06:21] ---**
    Don't stop here!
**[06:24] ---**
    But I've never been
    on a battlefield…
**[06:26] ---**
    Shut up!
**[06:27] ---**
    If you can't run, I'll kill you.
**[06:32] ---**
    Stand!
**[06:51] ---**
    Go.
**[06:53] ---**
    Come on!
**[07:01] ---**
    Mom…
**[07:08] ---**
    The higher-ups have decided
    to let you take part
**[07:12] ---**
    in the next Chunin Exams.
**[07:14] ---**
    Me?
**[07:15] ---**
    This exam displays the strength
**[07:18] ---**
    of each Ninja Village through
    their genin's abilities.
**[07:22] ---**
    It's considered a war by proxy.
**[07:25] ---**
    We cannot afford to lose.
**[07:28] ---**
    Your duty is to keep the other two
    completely replenished.
**[07:32] ---**
    We took in an outsider like you…
**[07:35] ---**
    Keep that in mind and make sure
    you get us good results.
**[07:41] ---**
    Yes.
**[07:42] ---**
    NO TRESPASSING
**[07:46] ---**
    Damn it… They're all monsters!
**[07:49] ---**
    How can we steal a scroll
**[07:50] ---**
    when defending ours
    takes everything we've got?
**[07:53] ---**
    But we can't back off!
**[07:56] ---**
    The honor of our village rests with us!
**[07:59] ---**
    Then we'll go back to tracking.
**[08:01] ---**
    And we'll definitely
    get it done this time.
**[08:07] ---**
    What should I do?
**[08:09] ---**
    You'll only be in the way
    if you come along.
**[08:12] ---**
    Take this and stay hidden.
**[08:13] ---**
    Okay.
**[08:28] ---**
    Oh yeah.
    I have to keep hiding.
**[08:46] ---**
    Lions Barrage!
**[09:02] ---**
    The Earth Scroll…same as us.
**[09:12] ---**
    *My glasses!*
**[09:24] ---**
    Later.
**[09:39] ---**
    MEDICAL
     HIDDEN GRASS HOSPITAL
**[09:43] ---**
    You've been such
    a disappointment.
**[09:47] ---**
    I hoped for better results
    than this!
**[09:50] ---**
    I guess you're just an outsider…
**[09:52] ---**
    so you don't feel any loyalty
    for the village.
**[09:56] ---**
    That's not true! I—!
**[09:58] ---**
    Then prove it.
**[10:01] ---**
    Hurry to the north fortress.
**[10:03] ---**
    North fortress?
**[10:05] ---**
    The fighting's raging there.
**[10:10] ---**
    The north fortress?
**[10:12] ---**
    Of all missions…
**[10:13] ---**
    That place is teeming
    with the Kaguya Clan.
**[10:18] ---**
    They're a terrible, bloodthirsty bunch.
**[10:22] ---**
    So far, the north fortress
    is keeping them at bay, but…
**[10:25] ---**
    Yeah…
**[10:26] ---**
    I hear this is going to get real ugly.
**[10:38] ---**
    You're going to be a great help.
**[10:40] ---**
    There are only so many fighters.
**[10:42] ---**
    But with you here,
    they'll heal much faster, right?
**[10:47] ---**
    Please start right away.
**[10:49] ---**
    Oh, but…
**[10:54] ---**
    I should have known
    an outsider wouldn't…
**[11:01] ---**
    What amazing dedication!
**[11:03] ---**
    Hey, everyone…
**[11:04] ---**
    Bring in the wounded
    from outside one by one.
**[11:09] ---**
    *I can't go on…*
**[11:11] ---**
    *If I stay here…I'll die.*
**[11:22] ---**
    Help me!
**[11:24] ---**
    I'll bet this redhead is a remnant
    of the clan from the Hidden Eddy…
**[11:29] ---**
    You were right when you said
    she'd be worth something.
**[11:39] ---**
    A shinobi without a homeland
    is quite tragic.
**[11:44] ---**
    But, you know…
**[11:46] ---**
    You must decide for yourself.
**[11:49] ---**
    If you come with me,
    no one will ever touch you again.
**[12:18] ---**
    You're Karin?
**[12:21] ---**
    The one Lord Orochimaru mentioned?
**[12:24] ---**
    I understand you have
    an unusual power.
**[12:26] ---**
    So…where is Lord Orochimaru?
**[12:29] ---**
    He's a very busy man.
**[12:32] ---**
    So you're assigned to me.
    Come with me.
**[12:42] ---**
    Who are these people?
**[12:45] ---**
    We use them for experiments.
**[12:47] ---**
    The research Lord Orochimaru is
    conducting requires a lot of data.
**[12:52] ---**
    I'm thinking that
    you can help with that.
**[12:56] ---**
    Okay, here we are.
**[12:58] ---**
    He was the subject
    of an experiment,
**[13:01] ---**
    but we're in a bind
    because he's gotten so weak.
**[13:04] ---**
    I also want to see your power.
**[13:07] ---**
    Okay…
**[13:20] ---**
    That's quite amazing!
**[13:22] ---**
    Leave it to Lord Orochimaru
    to see your potential…
**[13:26] ---**
    I'm counting on your help.
**[13:34] ---**
    Where are we?
**[13:35] ---**
    The Northern Hideout…
**[13:38] ---**
    The old place doesn't compare
    with this one in scale and set-up.
**[13:42] ---**
    This is what you would call
    a real experimental laboratory.
**[13:45] ---**
    From today,
    you'll be helping
**[13:46] ---**
    with the experiments
    on Jugo for a while.
**[13:49] ---**
    Jugo?
**[13:50] ---**
    Jugo…the one and only
    killing machine of the Curse Mark.
**[14:02] ---**
    Karin, you did well.
**[14:06] ---**
    Thanks to you,
**[14:07] ---**
    I was able to perfect an enzyme
    from Jugo's bodily fluids.
**[14:10] ---**
    So, how about it?
**[14:11] ---**
    It's up to you, but would you like
    to be in charge of this place?
**[14:17] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru…
**[14:19] ---**
    You've been through
    many hardships.
**[14:21] ---**
    You should stay here
    and take it easy for a while.
**[14:25] ---**
    I'm humbled by those words.
**[14:27] ---**
    Though I'm still young
    and inexperienced,
**[14:29] ---**
    I'll do anything you ask of me,
    Lord Orochimaru.
**[14:34] ---**
    Please excuse me.
**[14:46] ---**
    *Now…I'll finally…*
**[15:02] ---**
    Number 97 is scheduled
    for surgery this afternoon.
**[15:06] ---**
    It will be difficult,
    but I want you to assist.
**[15:09] ---**
    I got it.
**[15:10] ---**
    I just have to keep him
    from dying, right?
**[15:12] ---**
    Exactly.
**[15:27] ---**
    Who is that?
**[15:28] ---**
    Oh, that's Sasuke.
**[15:30] ---**
    He's Lord Orochimaru's favorite.
**[15:33] ---**
    He's a bit strange.
**[15:36] ---**
    He sought us out in order to
    become strong for a certain goal.
**[15:41] ---**
    "A goal?"
**[15:43] ---**
    But he probably won't fulfill it.
**[15:46] ---**
    He's destined to be
    Lord Orochimaru's next vessel.
**[16:07] ---**
    *I am…the one who will unravel*
    *the mysterious of this world!*
**[16:11] ---**
    *I am the one*
    *who will receive everything!*
**[16:36] ---**
    So it was you after all, Sasuke.
**[16:43] ---**
    Karin, come with me. I need you.
**[16:46] ---**
    Huh? Why would I follow you?
**[16:49] ---**
    I'm under orders
    to oversee this place!
**[16:52] ---**
    Orochimaru is gone.
**[16:54] ---**
    Suigetsu, release everyone held
    prisoner here in this hideout.
**[16:59] ---**
    What—?!
**[17:02] ---**
    As usual, ordering people around…
**[17:06] ---**
    You can't just come here
    and take over!
**[17:07] ---**
    You don't know what it took
    to keep things in order here…
**[17:10] ---**
    Without prisoners, there won't be
    any need for a warden.
**[17:15] ---**
    I'll say it once more.
    Come with me, Karin.
**[17:25] ---**
    What will you do?
**[17:33] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[17:46] ---**
    This is bad…
**[17:49] ---**
    Here, Sasuke…
**[17:50] ---**
    Hurry up and bite me!
**[17:52] ---**
    Do it now!
**[18:03] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[18:05] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[18:06] ---**
    Hurry and bite!
**[18:16] ---**
    Karin, Suigetsu, Jugo…
**[18:20] ---**
    Thanks to your help,
**[18:21] ---**
    I was able to bring down
    Danzo the Hokage.
**[18:25] ---**
    But my goal now is
    to destroy the Hidden Leaf,
**[18:28] ---**
    become the Hokage and build
    a new Hidden Leaf Village.
**[18:33] ---**
    This is the critical moment.
**[18:45] ---**
    How is the war going?
**[18:46] ---**
    The same…
**[18:48] ---**
    They're such jerks.
**[18:50] ---**
    Taking advantage of the chaos
**[18:52] ---**
    from you becoming
    the Hokage to attack…
**[18:54] ---**
    Bad news. Karin's been…
**[18:59] ---**
    I thought you were a spy
    from the Leaf.
**[19:03] ---**
    But we've stumbled across
    someone very interesting.
**[19:06] ---**
    Do you know her?
**[19:07] ---**
    Long ago, the Grass took
    in this wanderer.
**[19:11] ---**
    If you bite into her and
    suck out her chakra,
**[19:14] ---**
    it will heal every kind of wound.
**[19:17] ---**
    Hey! Take her to the medical tent!
**[19:20] ---**
    Stop!
**[19:22] ---**
    I don't care if it kills her.
**[19:23] ---**
    She betrayed the people
    she was indebted to!
**[19:26] ---**
    Suck out every ounce of chakra
    until she dies!
**[20:15] ---**
    Karin! Wake up, Karin!
**[20:19] ---**
    Hang in there!
**[20:20] ---**
    I'll go get the Medical unit now!
**[20:24] ---**
    Sasuke… Sasuke…
**[20:28] ---**
    It's okay…it's too—
**[20:33] ---**
    I just have one favor to ask…
**[20:36] ---**
    Please, Sasuke…
**[20:39] ---**
    Please smile…Sasuke.

    In her dream she reads
    a story Pervy Sage left behind.

**[01:35] ---**
    This…can't be.
**[01:37] ---**
    What is happening?!
**[01:50] ---**
    Snap out of it, Tsunade!
**[01:53] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[02:42] ---**
    I've completed my latest work!
**[02:46] ---**
    Jiraiya!
    You never even contacted me—!

    *What are you doing?*
**[03:16] ---**
    *I'm in the middle of writing*
    *my latest work.*
**[03:18] ---**
    *Another "Makeout" whatever…*
    *So ridiculous.*
**[03:21] ---**
    *Now that hurts.*
**[03:23] ---**
    *This new novel is different from*
    *the others and very innovative.*
**[03:27] ---**
    *I'm still in the middle of it,*
**[03:28] ---**
    *but it will be a masterpiece*
    *about the "future of shinobi."*
**[03:32] ---**
    *You'll be the first to read it*
    *when it's finished.*
**[03:34] ---**
    *No thanks.*

    "Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls"…
**[03:48] ---**
    "Long ago, there was a Fox Spirit.
    This fox had nine tails…"
**[03:53] ---**
    "If this fox lashed its tails once,"
**[03:54] ---**
    "it could smash mountains
    and create tidal waves."
**[03:56] ---**
    "A band on ninja arose to defend
    their village from attack."
**[04:00] ---**
    "A lone shinobi staked his life
    to seal away this beast."
**[04:15] ---**
    'Morning.
**[04:16] ---**
    'Morning!
**[04:17] ---**
    You came home late last night.
**[04:19] ---**
    Yeah… I was with Lord Third.
**[04:23] ---**
    How did your discussion go?
**[04:24] ---**
    Huh?
**[04:25] ---**
    You mentioned an important meeting.
    Did it go well?
**[04:39] ---**
    *There's no need for you to*
    *dirty your hands anymore.*
**[04:44] ---**
    *The unlikeliest alliance between*
    *the Uchiha and Senju*
**[04:49] ---**
    *has protected the peace*
    *of the Hidden Leaf Village…*
**[04:53] ---**
    *And will continue*
    *from this night forward*
**[04:55] ---**
    *until the end of time.*
**[05:10] ---**
    Oh, it was fine.
**[05:12] ---**
    Where's Naruto?
**[05:13] ---**
    He said an important mission
    was going to be assigned today
**[05:15] ---**
    so he couldn't be late, but…
**[05:19] ---**
    Naruto!
**[05:21] ---**
    Naruto!
**[05:28] ---**
    What?!
    It's already this late?
**[05:31] ---**
    'Morning!
**[05:35] ---**
    I'm off!
**[05:36] ---**
    Hey, that's bad manners!
**[05:40] ---**
    I have to hurry or I won't make it
**[05:42] ---**
    for the meeting time
    Kakashi's Sensei set!
**[05:45] ---**
    It's always like this.
**[05:48] ---**
    You spoil him too much!
    Can you please scold him too?
**[05:52] ---**
    All right… All right.
**[05:59] ---**
    All right!
**[05:59] ---**
    We're going to get
    an S-ranked mission today!
**[06:02] ---**
    Oh, isn't that the Nine-Tailed…
**[06:05] ---**
    He's still the Hokage's son.
**[06:08] ---**
    Just let sleeping dogs lie…
**[06:10] ---**
    I don't like it one bit.
**[06:13] ---**
    All right!
**[06:16] ---**
    Who's there?! Scaring me like that!
**[06:19] ---**
    Hey!
**[06:20] ---**
    Oh, it's you, Young Lord Naruto!
**[06:23] ---**
    Mister, how much is this mask?
**[06:25] ---**
    Don't even ask!
**[06:27] ---**
    I can't take money from you,
    Young Lord!
**[06:29] ---**
    Lord Hokage would
    scold me if I did!
**[06:32] ---**
    Please take it.
**[06:36] ---**
    That's okay.
    I don't have any money today.
**[06:39] ---**
    I see…
**[06:40] ---**
    Thank you though.
    I'll come back to buy it.
**[06:47] ---**
    *Sheesh! Lord Hokage this,*
    *Lord Hokage that…*
**[06:53] ---**
    Hey, throw some salt!
**[06:56] ---**
    It's supposed to be a secret
    in the village…
**[07:00] ---**
    But everyone knows
    what that kid is.
**[07:03] ---**
    If he weren't the Hokage's son,
**[07:05] ---**
    he'd have been chased out of
    the village by now.
**[07:16] ---**
    Hey, Shiro! 'Morning!
**[07:18] ---**
    Oh, Naruto! Good morning.
**[07:21] ---**
    Hey, Big Brother Itachi!
    Good morning. Is Sasuke around?
**[07:26] ---**
    Thanks for coming
    to see him all the time.
**[07:28] ---**
    My kid brother is
    just so unfriendly.
**[07:31] ---**
    Leave him to me!
**[07:33] ---**
    I'll train him right.
**[07:35] ---**
    Thanks. Be a good friend to him.
**[07:37] ---**
    Sure.
**[07:39] ---**
    Who's training whom?
**[07:41] ---**
    I'm not so pitiful that I need
    a loser like you to train me!
**[07:46] ---**
    It's okay! I don't mind at all.
    We're friends, aren't we?
**[07:48] ---**
    Since when are we friends?!
**[07:50] ---**
    You don't have to come and
    get me every morning!
**[07:53] ---**
    Just seeing your face during
    missions is more than enough!
**[07:57] ---**
    Yeah right…
    you're actually happy that I came.
**[08:22] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[08:23] ---**
    Who's that?!
**[08:28] ---**
    What happened?!
**[08:30] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[08:31] ---**
    Hang in there.
**[08:33] ---**
    A-Ageha…
**[08:41] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei,
    what's our new mission?
**[08:45] ---**
    Before that,
    I want to show you something.
**[08:49] ---**
    Look here.
**[08:50] ---**
    The names of legendary heroes
    are carved here.
**[08:55] ---**
    Legendary heroes?
**[08:58] ---**
    I'm definitely going to make it
    so my name gets on here!
**[09:02] ---**
    They were all killed in action
    during missions for our village.
**[09:06] ---**
    Huh?!
**[09:10] ---**
    But there are those who
    put their lives at risk
**[09:12] ---**
    and fought for the village…
**[09:13] ---**
    and even saved their comrades.
**[09:15] ---**
    Yet, they weren't given
    a heroes' burial,
**[09:17] ---**
    let alone buried in
    an ordinary grave.
**[09:24] ---**
    Why isn't this person
    with the others?
**[09:29] ---**
    During an extremely
    difficult mission,
**[09:30] ---**
    he was a captain and
    infiltrated enemy territory…
**[09:32] ---**
    There, he was faced
    with a difficult choice.
**[09:35] ---**
    Continue the mission or
    sacrifice the lives of his men…
**[09:39] ---**
    Which did he choose?
**[09:40] ---**
    Clearly, he chose
    his comrades' lives, right?
**[09:43] ---**
    In order to save the lives
    of his comrades,
**[09:45] ---**
    he cancelled the mission.
**[09:47] ---**
    I knew it!
**[09:49] ---**
    However,
    the village suffered huge losses.
**[09:52] ---**
    He was held responsible
    and blamed for his actions…
**[09:55] ---**
    In the end, even the men whose
    lives he saved criticized him.
**[10:01] ---**
    As a result, the deep hurt took
    its toll mentally and physically…
**[10:05] ---**
    and he took his own life.
**[10:07] ---**
    – But…that's—!
    – Why?!
**[10:09] ---**
    He broke the code in order to
    save his men's lives!
**[10:14] ---**
    The first thing we learn
    at the Academy is that
**[10:17] ---**
    the mission takes utmost priority,
    under the shinobi rules.
**[10:20] ---**
    But!
**[10:21] ---**
    In the shinobi world,
    those who break the rules are scum.
**[10:27] ---**
    That's…
**[10:28] ---**
    However! Those who don't
    value their comrades…
**[10:33] ---**
    …are worse than scum.
**[10:38] ---**
    And so, until you get
    the signal to assemble…
**[10:42] ---**
    go do some training.
**[10:44] ---**
    Scatter!
**[10:45] ---**
    – R-Right!
    – R-Right!
**[10:49] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[10:51] ---**
    So tell me…
**[10:53] ---**
    Why was I grouped together
    with Naruto?
**[10:56] ---**
    Do you object?
**[10:57] ---**
    No, I don't have a problem with it.
**[11:00] ---**
    But if he's put on a team
**[11:02] ---**
    where there's too much of
    a difference in skill levels,
**[11:04] ---**
    he's bound to suffer.
**[11:06] ---**
    You were the Academy's
    most promising student.
**[11:09] ---**
    Are you blaming Naruto
**[11:11] ---**
    for S-ranked missions
    not coming your way?
**[11:12] ---**
    Because it certainly seems that way.
**[11:15] ---**
    I didn't mean it like that…
**[11:17] ---**
    It could just be the opposite.
**[11:27] ---**
    I have a feeling that today's the day
    that we'll get an S-ranked mission!
**[11:31] ---**
    All right! I'm gonna go all out!
**[11:33] ---**
    Honestly…
**[11:34] ---**
    How can you be so positive
    about life?
**[11:38] ---**
    Well, I'm gonna be
    the Hokage some day!
**[11:41] ---**
    For the sake of the village,
    I can't be a downer!
**[11:44] ---**
    Talk about dreaming…
**[11:45] ---**
    No…
**[11:49] ---**
    It's possible Naruto
    might become the Hokage.
**[11:52] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[11:55] ---**
    So you do acknowledge
    my abilities, after all!
**[11:59] ---**
    Don't be stupid.
**[12:01] ---**
    You're the son of the Fourth Hokage.
**[12:04] ---**
    I'm just saying even the biggest loser
**[12:06] ---**
    can follow in the Hokage's footsteps
    with a little favoritism.
**[12:09] ---**
    What?!
**[12:10] ---**
    You have no right to
    talk to me like that
**[12:12] ---**
    until you beat me with your ninjutsu!
**[12:16] ---**
    I don't need ninjutsu to beat you!
**[12:25] ---**
    Lions Barrage!
**[12:29] ---**
    Stop! Don't fight!
    We're on the same team!
**[12:34] ---**
    That was nothing…
**[12:39] ---**
    Sasuke! Let's race to see who can
    make it to the top of that rock.
**[12:43] ---**
    On your mark!
**[12:44] ---**
    Hey!
**[12:45] ---**
    Get ready…go!
**[12:48] ---**
    He doesn't know when to give up!
**[12:56] ---**
    Lord Hokage just gave us
    the sign to assemble.
**[12:59] ---**
    But Naruto is…
**[13:01] ---**
    What about Naruto?
**[13:06] ---**
    *Damn it! Like I'm going to give up.*
**[13:08] ---**
    *I'll never give up*
    *despite what anyone says!*
**[13:11] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[13:12] ---**
    I don't see him catching up!
    I knew it!
**[13:30] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[13:50] ---**
    *It will be interesting to see…*
**[13:51] ---**
    *whether the power*
    *you have been given is truly for you.*
**[13:57] ---**
    *If you don't want to die,*
    *figure it out yourself!*
**[14:04] ---**
    *I'll never give up!*
    *Never! Never! No way!*
**[14:23] ---**
    A voice in pain…
    A bitter and sad voice…
**[15:01] ---**
    Y-You're huge!
**[15:05] ---**
    You're the—!
**[15:08] ---**
    I wasn't expecting to
    hear that from you…
**[15:11] ---**
    Didn't your parents tell you?
**[15:15] ---**
    Oh, you're the Nine-Tails, right!
**[15:19] ---**
    Then this will be quick.
**[15:21] ---**
    What brings you to me?
**[15:25] ---**
    I'm letting you live inside my body.
    You owe me some rent.
**[15:30] ---**
    What?!
**[15:31] ---**
    Lend me your chakra!
**[15:37] ---**
    You, ordering me around?
**[15:50] ---**
    You're greatly mistaken…
**[15:53] ---**
    Anyway, if you die, I die.
**[16:15] ---**
    *I'll show you first.*
**[16:23] ---**
    *Watch carefully!*
**[16:25] ---**
    *Summoning Jutsu!*
**[16:28] ---**
    *If I could do that…*
**[16:30] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[16:48] ---**
    I'm safe.
**[16:55] ---**
    So Naruto dashed off for that rock?
**[16:59] ---**
    Yes… He challenged Sasuke
    to a race.
**[17:03] ---**
    But I didn't want to get involved.
**[17:11] ---**
    It seems he jumped over this.
**[17:14] ---**
    What?
    He fell from here?!
**[17:17] ---**
    What a fool.
**[17:19] ---**
    Hey! What are you doing?
**[17:21] ---**
    Better hurry or Dad
    will get mad at us!
**[17:31] ---**
    FOURTH HOKAGE
**[17:36] ---**
    *Jiraiya Sensei…*
**[17:39] ---**
    *Over there!*
**[17:51] ---**
    *I must put up a barrier immediately…*
**[17:54] ---**
    *My chakra is almost…*
**[17:56] ---**
    *I can still do it…Minato.*
**[18:10] ---**
    *Kushina!*
**[18:15] ---**
    *Did I wake you up?*
**[18:17] ---**
    *I'm sorry, Naruto…*
**[18:20] ---**
    *Kushina…*
**[18:21] ---**
    *I'm going to pull the Nine Tails*
    *with me…*
**[18:25] ---**
    *to my death…*
**[18:26] ---**
    *Then…*
**[18:29] ---**
    *Kushina, there's no need for you*
    *to die with the Nine Tails…*
**[18:34] ---**
    *You sealing the Nine Tails' chakra in*
    *your state is physically impossible.*
**[18:38] ---**
    *But half should be possible…*
**[18:41] ---**
    *And the other half?*
**[18:43] ---**
    *I will seal it inside Naruto*
    *with the Eight Signed Seal!*
**[18:48] ---**
    *I know what you want to say…*
**[18:50] ---**
    *But in time, the Nine Tails' chakra…*
**[18:53] ---**
    *will open up Naruto's future*
    *as a Jinchuriki.*
**[19:05] ---**
    *I believe that if Naruto is ever*
    *in danger, it will be invaluable.*
**[19:13] ---**
    *But right now,*
    *it seems to be just the opposite.*
**[19:15] ---**
    *Well, he's just not able to manage*
**[19:18] ---**
    *the Nine Tails'*
    *enormous power yet…*
**[19:21] ---**
    *I'm sure he'll learn to*
    *control it in time.*
**[19:25] ---**
    *If…Naruto is truly*
    *the Child of Prophecy.*
**[19:32] ---**
    *But if he's not able to*
    *fully control the Nine Tails…*
**[19:39] ---**
    *Was it too soon…*
    *to let you go on this mission?*
**[19:43] ---**
    *No, sooner or later…*
    *You'll have to overcome this trial.*
**[20:00] ---**
    All of our classmates have
    assembled for this mission.
**[20:04] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:05] ---**
    It's turned out just as we feared, huh.
**[20:08] ---**
    What?
**[20:09] ---**
    Well, I want as little as possible
    to do with that guy
**[20:12] ---**
    and complete the mission
    successfully.
**[20:15] ---**
    Each team will take
    a separate route to the target site.
**[20:19] ---**
    Once there, you will search
    for the missing shinobi.
**[20:24] ---**
    Send word the minute
    you discover them!
**[20:27] ---**
    Do not rush out to try
    and rescue them!
**[20:31] ---**
    Understand?
**[20:32] ---**
    You don't have to keep reminding us.
**[20:36] ---**
    I'll rescue every one of them!
**[20:38] ---**
    Seems like someone over there
    doesn't get it.
**[20:41] ---**
    I knew it… This is going to
    turn out to be a drag.
**[20:45] ---**
    Scatter!
**[20:58] ---**
    All right! Let's do this!
**[22:38] ---**
    Right around then, the young shinobi
    who just made genin,
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    made their way to a village
    that had lost their jonin.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Amongst them was
    the Child of Prophecy, Naruto.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I know it's sudden, but let me
    go over the next mission.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Search Mission."
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Naruto, you will most likely be
    the one who…

    JIRAIYA NINJA SCROLLS:

    THE SEARCH MISSION

**[00:04] ---**
    This…can't be.
**[00:06] ---**
    What is happening?!
**[01:04] ---**
    *Right around then,*
**[01:05] ---**
    *the young shinobi*

**[03:21] ---**
    What happened?
**[03:23] ---**
    If there's something that you know,
    please tell me…whatever it is.
**[03:28] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[03:29] ---**
    Izumo and Kotetsu
    suddenly disappeared
**[03:32] ---**
    and I just got out of there
    as fast as I could…
**[03:35] ---**
    To be honest, I don't even
    remember how I made it here.
**[03:41] ---**
    I understand.
**[03:42] ---**
    I'm sorry to put you
    through all that.
**[03:46] ---**
    But even if you remember
    something minor, please tell me.
**[04:00] ---**
    Ageha…
**[04:02] ---**
    An Ageha butterfly…
**[04:10] ---**
    He's probably talking about
    the Shinobi Ageha…
**[04:13] ---**
    During this season,
**[04:14] ---**
    it's not unusual to see them
    in the forest near that village.
**[04:17] ---**
    Is it a poisonous butterfly?
**[04:20] ---**
    No.
**[04:21] ---**
    Its powdery scales
    stimulate chakra flow
**[04:25] ---**
    and it's even a main ingredient
    in food pills.
**[04:31] ---**
    *I can't believe Izumo and Kotetsu*
    *were beaten so easily…*
**[04:42] ---**
    Looks like we're all set.
**[04:47] ---**
    No, Team 7 is still…
**[04:50] ---**
    Sorry, Team 7 is late.
**[04:54] ---**
    We're all here now.
**[04:56] ---**
    I know it's sudden,
    but let me go over the mission.
**[04:59] ---**
    I hope its way more exciting
    than looking for a lost cat.
**[05:07] ---**
    This mission is very important.
**[05:12] ---**
    Three teams of shinobi that were
    dispatched on secret missions
**[05:15] ---**
    have all gone missing.
**[05:19] ---**
    Your mission is to
    search and find them.
**[05:22] ---**
    Yahoo!
**[05:28] ---**
    However, you are to contact
    the Hidden Leaf
**[05:31] ---**
    the moment they are found.
**[05:33] ---**
    Any attempts at rescue
    are forbidden.
**[05:37] ---**
    Why?!
**[05:42] ---**
    Considering who's been chosen,
**[05:44] ---**
    the answer should be
    pretty obvious to everyone.
**[05:47] ---**
    Is it because we're all elite ninja
    overflowing with talent?!
**[05:54] ---**
    Nearly all the shinobi who
    went missing are capable jonin…
**[05:59] ---**
    But the only one who was able to
    make it back to the village,
**[06:02] ---**
    was a genin.
**[06:04] ---**
    So it could mean, experience
    and maturity are being targeted.
**[06:10] ---**
    Which means?
**[06:11] ---**
    In other words, we were picked
    because we're newbies
**[06:15] ---**
    who just became genin.
**[06:17] ---**
    Well, you could put it that way…
**[06:20] ---**
    What?
**[06:21] ---**
    Is that all?
**[06:26] ---**
    *Naruto, you will most likely*
    *be the one who—*
**[06:38] ---**
    Everyone, stop!
**[06:41] ---**
    What is it?
**[06:44] ---**
    Isn't our target village
    further ahead?
**[06:46] ---**
    Look.
**[06:50] ---**
    What's that?
**[06:51] ---**
    Shinobi Ageha?
**[06:54] ---**
    All right! I'm gonna go catch 'em!
**[06:56] ---**
    Hey! You!
**[06:58] ---**
    That's really not necessary…
**[07:00] ---**
    I'll bring him back!
**[07:01] ---**
    Oh really?
**[07:03] ---**
    Come on!
**[07:04] ---**
    Oh boy…
**[07:15] ---**
    Eight Trigrams Grid Palm!
**[07:21] ---**
    *This is…*
**[07:52] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[07:59] ---**
    Naruto! Get back here right now!
**[08:03] ---**
    What the hell?
**[08:05] ---**
    I almost had it!
**[08:07] ---**
    Don't go off on your own
    during a mission.
**[08:09] ---**
    What did you just say?
**[08:11] ---**
    I don't take orders from you!
**[08:14] ---**
    What? This isn't an order!
**[08:17] ---**
    I'm telling you to act
    more like a shinobi!
**[08:19] ---**
    Going off on your own
    puts others in—
**[08:21] ---**
    Sasuke!
    Kakashi Sensei's in trouble!
**[08:26] ---**
    – What happened?
    – Kakashi Sensei's…
**[08:29] ---**
    When I noticed, he…
**[08:33] ---**
    He was dragged underground, huh?
**[08:34] ---**
    No way!
**[08:40] ---**
    What—!
**[08:51] ---**
    Asuma!
**[08:55] ---**
    Damn it…
    They got him.
**[08:57] ---**
    What? What happened?
**[09:00] ---**
    Where's Asuma Sensei?
**[09:02] ---**
    I-I don't know…
**[09:08] ---**
    Is this…
**[09:10] ---**
    …sensation, chakra?!
**[09:18] ---**
    What happened, Akamaru?!
**[09:20] ---**
    Akamaru's barking not because of
    something happening.
**[09:23] ---**
    It's because
    he lost track of Kurenai Sensei
**[09:26] ---**
    who should be present.
**[09:38] ---**
    What is this?
**[09:41] ---**
    *Byakugan!*
**[09:46] ---**
    *There's a current of chakra*
    *underground…*
**[09:50] ---**
    *Where is it coming from?*
**[09:55] ---**
    Neji! Where are you going?
**[09:57] ---**
    I want to check something!
**[09:58] ---**
    Stay with Guy!
**[10:05] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[10:06] ---**
    Does your chest hurt?!
**[10:08] ---**
    It's nothing that
    a little perseverance can't…
**[10:13] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[10:15] ---**
    Don't push yourself!
**[10:18] ---**
    I'll go get some water.
**[10:20] ---**
    Tenten, stay and watch Guy Sensei.
**[10:23] ---**
    All right!
**[10:45] ---**
    What happened?
**[10:47] ---**
    Guy Sensei felt sick and…
**[10:51] ---**
    Where's Guy Sensei?!
**[10:53] ---**
    Black vine-like things sprang up,
**[10:56] ---**
    wrapped around Sensei,
    and pulled him underground.
**[11:00] ---**
    What?
**[11:09] ---**
    *The current of chakra is gone.*
**[11:19] ---**
    Hey!
**[11:21] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei is probably
    in enemy hands.
**[11:24] ---**
    What are we supposed to do?
**[11:26] ---**
    What else is there to do?!
**[11:28] ---**
    We're gonna find him no matter what
    and get him back!
**[11:31] ---**
    Damn it.
**[11:32] ---**
    I'm never giving up!
**[11:46] ---**
    Hey, what are we going to do?
**[11:49] ---**
    What's going to happen?
**[11:51] ---**
    First, we should contact
    the other teams,
**[11:54] ---**
    then contact the Leaf Village
    like Lord Hokage ordered, right?
**[12:02] ---**
    Wait.
**[12:04] ---**
    Don't move!
**[12:06] ---**
    What?
**[12:09] ---**
    Damn it.
**[12:11] ---**
    What the Fourth Hokage feared
    would happen just happened…
**[12:15] ---**
    Huh?!
**[12:17] ---**
    It's probably safe to assume that
**[12:19] ---**
    the same thing has happened
    to the other team captains.
**[12:23] ---**
    The other teams?
**[12:24] ---**
    So it's not only us…
**[12:26] ---**
    But Sasuke and Kiba and…
**[12:28] ---**
    Everyone's been left behind?
**[12:32] ---**
    Yeah…
**[12:33] ---**
    I just hope Kakashi's team isn't
    arguing with each other right now…
**[12:37] ---**
    Since they have *someone*
    who can be a real drag.
**[12:41] ---**
    Why you—!
**[12:42] ---**
    Wait, you loser!
**[12:44] ---**
    I already told you!
**[12:45] ---**
    I'm not giving up!
**[12:47] ---**
    But where are you going?
**[12:49] ---**
    Well, I don't know, but…
**[12:53] ---**
    Are you really the son of
    the Fourth Hokage?
**[13:01] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[13:02] ---**
    Do you really think the Hokage
    would send us out
**[13:04] ---**
    without making any
    preventive measures beforehand?
**[13:08] ---**
    I saw the Hokage
    pass out special kunai
**[13:11] ---**
    to the captains, back then.
**[13:13] ---**
    Special kunai?
**[13:15] ---**
    Yeah…
**[13:18] ---**
    The one he marks when he uses
**[13:19] ---**
    the Transportation Ninjutsu
    to teleport.
**[13:23] ---**
    As long as the mark is there,
    he can track anyone, anywhere.
**[13:31] ---**
    Transportation Ninjutsu?
**[13:34] ---**
    You know what
    the Summoning Jutsu is, right?
**[13:36] ---**
    Uh…yeah!
**[13:39] ---**
    Think of it as
    a type of that jutsu.
**[13:41] ---**
    The special kunai is the target
**[13:43] ---**
    and no matter
    how far away you are…
**[13:46] ---**
    you can transport to the kunai
    in an instant…
**[13:49] ---**
    Lord Fourth is the only one
    who can use that jutsu right now.
**[13:53] ---**
    I see. I gotta admit…
**[13:54] ---**
    My Dad's pretty awesome!
**[13:56] ---**
    Wait!
**[13:57] ---**
    I don't think…
    that's going to happen.
**[14:04] ---**
    Huh? That's…
**[14:06] ---**
    I found it at the spot right now.
**[14:10] ---**
    This is the worst situation
    we can be in…
**[14:16] ---**
    I think I can visualize Lee making
    a big fuss over Guy Sensei.
**[14:23] ---**
    Guy Sensei! Guy Sensei!
    Guy Sensei! Guy Sensei!
**[14:28] ---**
    Wait, Lee!
**[14:29] ---**
    Calm down!
**[14:31] ---**
    That's impossible for me!
**[14:33] ---**
    Is the Shinobi Code more important
    to you two than Guy Sensei's life?!
**[14:38] ---**
    Don't get the wrong idea!
**[14:40] ---**
    You blockhead!
**[14:45] ---**
    Guy…Sensei.
**[14:55] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[14:56] ---**
    Just listen!
**[14:58] ---**
    Just before Guy went missing,
**[15:01] ---**
    there was an unusual current
    of chakra underground.
**[15:04] ---**
    You saw it with your Byakugan?
**[15:07] ---**
    Yeah. But it's disappeared now.
**[15:10] ---**
    So, I'd like to check in on
    the status of the other teams.
**[15:14] ---**
    Linking up with the other teams
    is our priority right now.
**[15:24] ---**
    So, the key players
    will be Kurenai's team.
**[15:26] ---**
    How so?
**[15:28] ---**
    Kiba's sense of smell,
**[15:29] ---**
    Hinata's Byakugan and
    Shino's Parasitic Insects…
**[15:32] ---**
    With their sensory skills,
**[15:34] ---**
    it will be easy to find the current
    locations of the other three teams.
**[15:38] ---**
    And they can probably find
**[15:40] ---**
    the location where
    the team captains are being held.
**[15:44] ---**
    You're right!
**[15:46] ---**
    That would make it way faster than
    just proceeding blindly.
**[15:49] ---**
    In situations like this,
**[15:50] ---**
    panic and proceeding without
    thinking is our worst enemy.
**[15:54] ---**
    It makes more work for everybody.
**[15:56] ---**
    So until we join up
    with Kurenai's team…
**[16:00] ---**
    …we'll just sit tight.
**[16:06] ---**
    Choji must've had
    barbeque last night…
**[16:11] ---**
    – Kiba!
    – Kiba!
**[16:12] ---**
    – How is it going?
    – Hey!
**[16:14] ---**
    Asuma's team is over that way.
**[16:19] ---**
    Those guys aren't moving at all.
**[16:21] ---**
    They know we're looking for them.
**[16:24] ---**
    They're just sitting back
    and resting.
**[16:27] ---**
    In any case, let's join up
    with Shikamaru quickly.
**[16:30] ---**
    Then we'll pass on his ideas
    to the other teams,
**[16:35] ---**
    and come up with a unified plan.
**[16:36] ---**
    That's because I have a feeling
**[16:38] ---**
    there's someone who's going to
    act without thinking through things…
**[16:41] ---**
    And that's where
    our abilities come in.
**[16:46] ---**
    Exactly!
**[16:47] ---**
    Shikamaru's acclaimed intellect
    still needs us!
**[16:58] ---**
    According to the plan,
    Kurenai's team should be over here.
**[17:02] ---**
    Right.
**[17:24] ---**
    Blood?!
**[17:39] ---**
    I have already cursed you.
**[17:43] ---**
    Huh?
**[17:45] ---**
    Preparations for the ritual
    are complete!
**[17:52] ---**
    Now!
**[17:53] ---**
    Let's experience
    the ultimate pain together!
**[17:58] ---**
    What's with this guy?
**[18:00] ---**
    He keeps talking about
    curses and rituals?
**[18:02] ---**
    He's dangerous!
**[18:22] ---**
    – Naruto!
    – Naruto?!
**[18:27] ---**
    Doesn't it hurt?
**[18:28] ---**
    It's gonna be excruciating
    so prepare yourself…
**[18:32] ---**
    It's god's commandment!
    Tremble in fear!
**[18:48] ---**
    He's fast asleep.
**[18:51] ---**
    He may seem so,
    but he wakes up sharp and alert.
**[18:54] ---**
    Besides,
    it helps replenish his energy.
**[18:57] ---**
    You're too easy on Choji.
**[19:00] ---**
    And you're too tough.
**[19:14] ---**
    I knew something was up.
**[19:17] ---**
    I totally thought it would
    happen later though.
**[19:20] ---**
    I should have known they weren't
    going to let us rest so easily.
**[19:26] ---**
    It's coming!
**[19:29] ---**
    Paper Shuriken!
**[19:36] ---**
    Wind Style: Gale Palm!
**[19:43] ---**
    *Damn it… We have to*
    *get out of this Paper Storm…*
**[19:48] ---**
    Choji! Can you break it apart?!
**[19:50] ---**
    I've had enough rest!
**[19:53] ---**
    Expansion Jutsu!
**[19:56] ---**
    Human Boulder!
**[19:59] ---**
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[20:01] ---**
    Roll, roll, roll, roll!
**[20:04] ---**
    – Roll, roll, roll, roll!
    – Water Style: Raging Waves!
**[20:25] ---**
    You're the ones!
**[20:27] ---**
    You guys took Asuma Sensei, right?
**[20:31] ---**
    Bring Asuma Sensei back!
**[20:40] ---**
    Just who the hell…
**[20:41] ---**
    …are you?
**[20:49] ---**
    Don't think you can
    escape my curse!
**[20:53] ---**
    The shinobi world is cursed!
**[20:55] ---**
    Just give up!
**[22:37] ---**
    When the man in the strange cloak,
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    impaled himself
    with his pointed scythe
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Naruto felt an excruciating pain…
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Seems like this guy
    is more than you can handle.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**

    *When the man in the strange cloak,*
**[01:41] ---**
    *impaled himself with*

**[01:45] ---**
    *Naruto felt an excruciating pain…*
    *in the same area of his own body.*
**[01:56] ---**
    Don't think you can
    escape my curse!
**[01:59] ---**
    The shinobi world is cursed!
    Get over it!
**[02:09] ---**
    What? A Clone?
**[02:14] ---**
    Na… Ru… To…
**[02:17] ---**
    Uzumaki Barrage!
**[02:20] ---**
    Did you see that?
    It's my Naruto Uzumaki Barrage!
**[02:24] ---**
    An imitation of my Lions Barrage.
**[02:26] ---**
    What did you say?
**[02:27] ---**
    This is not the time to be arguing.
**[02:29] ---**
    Oh yeah, that's right…
**[02:30] ---**
    Where's Kakashi Sensei?
**[02:32] ---**
    Who knows?
**[02:34] ---**
    We were merely hired to help
    with the experiment.
**[02:38] ---**
    Experiment?
**[02:39] ---**
    Yeah…
**[02:40] ---**
    To prove that there's no hope
    in a cursed shinobi world.
**[02:46] ---**
    It's a pain…
**[02:48] ---**
    so I figured I'd give you
    the answer real quick, but…
**[02:51] ---**
    What?
**[02:52] ---**
    I don't think he's the kind of
    opponent you can handle.
**[02:56] ---**
    Why you!
**[02:58] ---**
    Hey there, long time no see!
**[03:01] ---**
    Trained by the Great Toad Spirit
    of Mount Myoboku,
**[03:04] ---**
    also known as the Toad Sage…
**[03:07] ---**
    …we are the trio from the Hidden Rain
**[03:12] ---**
    known as Team Jiraiya,
**[03:13] ---**
    remember that
    and let our presence be known!
**[03:16] ---**
    T-Team…
**[03:18] ---**
    Jiraiya?
**[03:20] ---**
    Jiraiya?
**[03:21] ---**
    Are you talking about one
    of the Legendary Sannin?
**[03:24] ---**
    The one who's cool and suave,
**[03:26] ---**
    with that irresistible
    sidelong glance
**[03:28] ---**
    that makes a girl fall madly
    in love in a second?
**[03:33] ---**
    Also the one who's admired by
    every guy in the Hidden Leaf
**[03:36] ---**
    and who ranks at the top of
    the most desired master list?
**[03:42] ---**
    *What the hell is this?!*
**[03:43] ---**
    *Jiraiya's too full of himself!*
**[03:47] ---**
    Team Jiraiya…
**[03:49] ---**
    Actually, we're called
    the "Akatsuki"
**[03:52] ---**
    which isn't too catchy
    or cool at all…
**[03:55] ---**
    But just remember the three of us
    as Team Jiraiya.
**[03:59] ---**
    So you're Jiraiya's pupils?
**[04:02] ---**
    Are you implying that only guys
    from the Hidden Leaf
**[04:07] ---**
    can train under Jiraiya Sensei?
**[04:08] ---**
    What? I didn't mean it that way!
**[04:10] ---**
    It really rubs me the wrong way…
**[04:12] ---**
    When you imply that
    we're not shinobi
**[04:14] ---**
    since we're not from
    the Hidden Leaf
**[04:15] ---**
    and the Five Great Nations
    and the Five Hidden Villages?
**[04:18] ---**
    Like I said…I didn't say that!
**[04:21] ---**
    We're not a big, fancy village…
**[04:23] ---**
    but guys like us
    from the Hidden Rain
**[04:24] ---**
    are just as good as you, got it?
**[04:26] ---**
    Remember that and
    let our presence be known!
**[05:02] ---**
    All this time, the Hidden Leaf,
    Stone, Sand, and Cloud
**[05:07] ---**
    have waged war whenever
    they felt like it…
**[05:10] ---**
    And we got stuck in the middle
    with nowhere to go…
**[05:13] ---**
    our homeland got ravaged
    and destroyed…
**[05:16] ---**
    All the while, you could care less
    about our suffering!
**[05:21] ---**
    Wind Style! Gale Palm!
**[05:27] ---**
    But we'll rise up.
**[05:29] ---**
    And we won't let our bitterness
    hold us back.
**[05:32] ---**
    We'll move forward even
    if we have no place to go.
**[05:35] ---**
    Liberty is Team Jiraiya's goal!
**[05:37] ---**
    And we'll turn the tables
    on you all!
**[05:39] ---**
    And that's why you took
    Asuma and the others?!
**[05:44] ---**
    Your passionate speech just now…
**[05:46] ---**
    I understand where
    you're coming from.
**[05:48] ---**
    But I don't understand
    why you would capture Asuma
**[05:52] ---**
    and my comrades
    from the Hidden Leaf…
**[05:55] ---**
    The Leaf, The Leaf, The Leaf!
**[05:57] ---**
    Does the world revolve
    around the Hidden Leaf?
**[06:00] ---**
    Give me a break!
**[06:03] ---**
    Seriously, give me a break!
**[06:12] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[06:20] ---**
    Why you—!
**[06:22] ---**
    You dare to kick
    an apostle of god?!
**[06:25] ---**
    Curse you!
**[06:28] ---**
    What the hell is this?!
**[06:31] ---**
    Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
**[06:37] ---**
    Are you okay, Sakura?
**[06:40] ---**
    Thank you Sasuke!
**[06:43] ---**
    Whaaat?!
**[06:44] ---**
    Judging by this,
**[06:46] ---**
    there's no doubt the other teams
    are in the same predicament.
**[06:50] ---**
    You're right…so what do we do?
**[06:53] ---**
    The sooner we join up with them,
    the better.
**[06:57] ---**
    Any objections?
**[06:58] ---**
    N-No…
**[07:07] ---**
    What's going on?
**[07:08] ---**
    This is weird. We can't go
    in the direction we want to.
**[07:12] ---**
    It's possible
    we're being led astray!
**[07:41] ---**
    They're not coming after us…
**[07:50] ---**
    Why did you cut in like that?
**[07:53] ---**
    I could've offered those kids as
    a sacrifice to Lord Jashin,
**[07:56] ---**
    while I was at it!
**[07:58] ---**
    It's because we're not
    under contract for that
**[08:00] ---**
    and you were about to mess up.
**[08:02] ---**
    Our job is simply to capture
    team captain-level guys.
**[08:07] ---**
    We won't earn money
    just killing brats.
**[08:10] ---**
    The world doesn't revolve
    around money.
**[08:13] ---**
    What's the use of living
    if you can't enjoy life?!
**[08:17] ---**
    That's a luxury we can't afford.
**[08:19] ---**
    Every action we take
    has a priority.
**[08:24] ---**
    That's pretty harsh.
**[08:31] ---**
    Here you go.
**[08:33] ---**
    What?
**[08:35] ---**
    You take care of this one.
**[08:37] ---**
    I'm going to round up the rest
    of the captains we've hidden.
**[08:42] ---**
    Hey!
**[08:56] ---**
    Oh, Akamaru
**[08:58] ---**
    Yeah, it reeks here with the scent
    of Shikamaru and the others.
**[09:01] ---**
    I picked up the scent
    of three guys.
**[09:06] ---**
    It seems like there was fighting
    here until just moments ago.
**[09:10] ---**
    They moved as they were fighting…
**[09:13] ---**
    I can tell because…
**[09:15] ---**
    …they left telltale signs
    of their movements.
**[09:20] ---**
    Shikamaru and his team are okay…
**[09:22] ---**
    I don't smell any blood.
**[09:26] ---**
    Let's hurry after them.
**[09:34] ---**
    A village…
**[09:47] ---**
    But don't you think
    something's not right?
**[09:51] ---**
    Not one sign of anyone in
    a settlement this large…
**[09:56] ---**
    It seems they wanted
    to lure us here.
**[10:00] ---**
    What do we do?
**[10:01] ---**
    Wait for Team Kurenai here?
**[10:03] ---**
    Yeah… Those guys just now
    probably laid out a trap
**[10:06] ---**
    and are just biding their time.
**[10:09] ---**
    The more of us there are to fight,
    the better.
**[10:18] ---**
    We don't have a clue about
    the enemy's strength,
**[10:21] ---**
    so it's better to join up
    with the others first.
**[10:25] ---**
    Why are you the one giving orders?
**[10:28] ---**
    Our captain's gone.
**[10:30] ---**
    Isn't it standard procedure for
**[10:32] ---**
    the next best-qualified person
    to make the decisions?
**[10:34] ---**
    I agree…
    If it's between Sasuke,
**[10:36] ---**
    who graduated at the top of the class
    from the Academy…
**[10:38] ---**
    …and you, who came in last
    in our class,
**[10:40] ---**
    and was only allowed
    to graduate out of pity…
**[10:42] ---**
    Yeah, if your dad wasn't
    the Hokage…
**[10:45] ---**
    What? Wanna fight?!
**[10:47] ---**
    Now that would be interesting.
    I'll prove who's better.
**[10:53] ---**
    There's nothing I'd like better!
**[10:55] ---**
    Hey, you two!
**[10:57] ---**
    Never say that again in front of me…
**[11:01] ---**
    You haven't sensed it yet?
**[11:01] ---**
    Huh?!
**[11:12] ---**
    Hey guys! You were all okay?
**[11:16] ---**
    I don't see Guy Sensei.
**[11:18] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:20] ---**
    Guy Sensei went missing suddenly.
**[11:23] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei also disappeared.
**[11:27] ---**
    There were signs that showed
    he was dragged underground…
**[11:30] ---**
    Yes, a black rope-like organism tangled
    around Sensei
**[11:32] ---**
    and dragged him away!
**[11:34] ---**
    Yeah! That thing attacked us too.
**[11:37] ---**
    You encountered the enemy?
**[11:39] ---**
    Yeah…
**[11:40] ---**
    They claimed to have been hired.
**[11:42] ---**
    Hey, let's hurry and rescue them!
**[11:45] ---**
    Don't be in such a rush.
**[11:46] ---**
    But—!
**[11:48] ---**
    I saw chakra flowing underground
    just before Guy went missing.
**[11:55] ---**
    We've pretty much pinpointed
    the source of the chakra.
**[11:57] ---**
    Then…
**[11:59] ---**
    The remaining teams
    should be nearby too.
**[12:01] ---**
    We need to regroup
    with every team first…
**[12:04] ---**
    and set up base camp.
**[12:08] ---**
    *Who knows what's happening*
    *to Sensei and the others*
**[12:11] ---**
    *while we're wasting time like this…*
**[12:32] ---**
    First, we need to regroup
    with the rest of the teams.
**[12:34] ---**
    There are a few things
    I want to confirm with them.
**[12:37] ---**
    Like the status of Asuma and Kurenai.
**[12:42] ---**
    Guy lost consciousness…
    and went missing.
**[12:48] ---**
    The exact same thing happened
    with Kakashi.
**[12:50] ---**
    Why do you think they
    both lost consciousness?
**[12:54] ---**
    Come to think of it…
**[12:54] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei was looking at
**[12:56] ---**
    the Shinobi Ageha butterfly
    before he disappeared.
**[12:58] ---**
    The powdery scales of
    the Shinobi Ageha
**[13:01] ---**
    and the chakra flowing underground
    possibly interacted with each other…
**[13:05] ---**
    There's probably a jutsu
    that doesn't work on us,
**[13:08] ---**
    but affects only the jonin.
**[13:10] ---**
    But the scales of the Shinobi Ageha
    aren't toxic.
**[13:14] ---**
    I don't know how the jutsu works.
**[13:18] ---**
    But, like I mentioned,
    there's one more thing I want to verify!
**[13:22] ---**
    What? That's—!
**[13:24] ---**
    Lord Fourth's kunai?
**[13:26] ---**
    What's going on?
**[13:28] ---**
    Isn't that the kunai that
    you found earlier, Sakura?
**[13:31] ---**
    No…
**[13:33] ---**
    This is one that Guy Sensei dropped.
**[13:35] ---**
    Two jonin dropped the kunai
**[13:37] ---**
    entrusted to them by Lord Fourth
    at the spur of the moment…
**[13:42] ---**
    That's hard to believe.
**[13:43] ---**
    So if we figure that the enemy
    dropped them intentionally…
**[13:47] ---**
    It's got to be someone with
    considerable knowledge of various jutsu?
**[13:51] ---**
    It's probably someone who knows
    the secret behind Lord Fourth's kunai…
**[13:55] ---**
    We'd better hurry and join up
    with the other teams fast.
**[13:59] ---**
    The tracking team of Kiba,
    Shino and Hinata
**[14:02] ---**
    would be able to pinpoint
    the location quite accurately.
**[14:05] ---**
    Yeah, I'm sure of it.
**[14:07] ---**
    And once we know the location,
    can we rescue the captains?
**[14:09] ---**
    No.
**[14:10] ---**
    Once we know their situation,
    we'll send word back to the village.
**[14:14] ---**
    Right. We haven't been given
    the orders for a rescue.
**[14:18] ---**
    *Sticking to the rules again?!*
**[14:20] ---**
    *We don't have time to wait for*
    *reinforcements from the village!*
**[14:23] ---**
    *I don't care what anyone says.*
    *I'm gonna rescue them.*
**[14:35] ---**
    Mmm… I smell food.
**[14:39] ---**
    How about doing some search
    and reconnaissance inside the village?
**[14:44] ---**
    Are you kidding?
    That's just looking for trouble.
**[14:50] ---**
    I guess you're right…
**[14:50] ---**
    Shh! Look!
**[15:00] ---**
    Let's follow.
**[15:03] ---**
    Now Komichi…
**[15:04] ---**
    Let's hurry and get Kenta.
**[15:09] ---**
    Fighting's going to start soon right?
**[15:11] ---**
    If there's a fire, Kenta will die.
**[15:14] ---**
    Then why'd you leave Kenta?
**[15:17] ---**
    Well, because—!
**[15:22] ---**
    Thank goodness!
    It hasn't burned down yet!
**[15:25] ---**
    Kenta! I'm sorry!
**[15:27] ---**
    I'll never leave you again!
**[15:35] ---**
    We were just like them
    back in the day.
**[15:38] ---**
    Caught up in other nations' wars…
**[15:40] ---**
    Running scared…
**[15:42] ---**
    We didn't want any villagers to
    get hurt from our strategy…
**[15:47] ---**
    So we told them all to evacuate…
**[15:49] ---**
    Damn it…
**[15:50] ---**
    Now we're no different from the Hidden Leaf
    and the Sand from back then…
**[16:08] ---**
    Komichi! Hurry up!
**[16:10] ---**
    We have to run away before
    the fighting starts.
**[16:12] ---**
    Wait, big brother!
**[16:42] ---**
    Hey… Are you kids from this village?
**[16:46] ---**
    Please tell us.
    Where's everyone else?
**[16:53] ---**
    You don't have to be scared.
**[16:55] ---**
    We're not scary people.
**[17:12] ---**
    *Run away, Nagato!*
**[17:14] ---**
    *Hurry! Get away!*
**[17:27] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[17:38] ---**
    All right then…
**[17:40] ---**
    Have you seen a group of
    two guys and a girl…just like us?
**[17:56] ---**
    Yahiko…!
**[18:00] ---**
    Nagato…!
**[18:23] ---**
    Nagato!
**[18:38] ---**
    Komichi!
**[18:49] ---**
    Those kids are—!
**[18:50] ---**
    This is bad!
**[18:51] ---**
    No way… Did I…?
**[19:13] ---**
    What was that?
**[19:16] ---**
    It's coming from inside the village.
**[19:18] ---**
    Is it the enemy?
**[19:20] ---**
    Is there a team fighting over there?
**[19:23] ---**
    What's happening inside the village?
**[19:32] ---**
    That direction is…
**[19:33] ---**
    …the village marked on the map.
**[19:36] ---**
    The scents of Shikamaru and
    the others are coming from that way too.
**[19:39] ---**
    We should head there immediately.
**[19:42] ---**
    That's because that cloud
    of dust is a sign
**[19:45] ---**
    of something big happening
    over there.
**[19:49] ---**
    What're you doing! Hurry up!
**[19:52] ---**
    W-Wait!
**[19:52] ---**
    You should listen until a person
    is done speaking!
**[19:54] ---**
    That's because…Hey! Wait!
**[20:43] ---**
    This is bad.
**[20:44] ---**
    We have to save those kids!
**[20:46] ---**
    Wait!
**[20:48] ---**
    We can't. Don't go.
**[20:51] ---**
    Why?
**[20:51] ---**
    Shikamaru…
**[22:38] ---**
    The siblings fall into the sinkhole,
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Team Jiraiya rushes in to help,
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    but Shikamaru does not make a move.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    We have to do what
    we came here to do.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Order of Priority."
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    We can't afford to be indecisive.

    *The cave-in that suddenly occurred*
    *swallowed up the siblings.*
**[00:44] ---**
    *Yahiko, Konan and Nagato,*
    *who call themselves Team Jiraiya,*
**[00:49] ---**
    *immediately went after them.*
**[00:51] ---**
    *But, Shikamaru did not budge.*
**[00:55] ---**
    This is bad.
**[00:56] ---**
    We have to save those kids!
**[00:58] ---**
    Wait!
**[01:00] ---**
    We can't. Don't go.
**[01:02] ---**
    Why?
**[01:03] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[02:42] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero -*
    *Order of Priority*
    
    
    
**[03:06] ---**
    The enemy's up ahead!
    Watch out!
**[03:15] ---**
    *What is that?*
**[03:45] ---**
    What do you see, Hinata?
**[04:00] ---**
    Looks like the ground caved in.
**[04:04] ---**
    Do you see Shikamaru
    and his team?
**[04:05] ---**
    No… There's no a sign of them.
**[04:09] ---**
    I can't track their scent
    because of the cave-in.
**[04:14] ---**
    I won't be able to
    until the dust settles.
**[04:19] ---**
    I can't believe the cave-in
    could be just a coincidence.
**[04:38] ---**
    Hey, can you hear me?
**[04:41] ---**
    Hey, kids!
**[04:43] ---**
    Hey!
**[04:45] ---**
    Please answer us!
**[04:46] ---**
    Where are you?
**[04:48] ---**
    We're coming to save you!
**[04:57] ---**
    Could they have been swept away?
**[05:05] ---**
    Let's go!
**[05:17] ---**
    My… My eyes…did this again…
**[05:21] ---**
    They did this to those kids…
**[05:24] ---**
    *Nagato.*
**[05:27] ---**
    Look…
**[05:28] ---**
    we have to find
    those kids first.
**[05:31] ---**
    Just focus on that right now.
**[05:45] ---**
    Is this really okay?
**[05:48] ---**
    Are you sure we don't have
    to help rescue them?
**[05:50] ---**
    Those guys are on their way.
**[05:52] ---**
    That's not the point…
**[05:54] ---**
    It just doesn't seem right…
**[05:56] ---**
    Think about our priorities.
**[05:59] ---**
    Right now, our team captains
    have been taken
**[06:01] ---**
    and our mission is at a standstill.
**[06:04] ---**
    It's our priority to regroup
    with the other teams
**[06:07] ---**
    and come up with a plan of action.
**[06:10] ---**
    I know that, but…
**[06:12] ---**
    The shinobi who were here
    in the village have gone to rescue them.
**[06:16] ---**
    We have to do what
    we came here to do.
**[06:20] ---**
    Even if it is a drag…
**[06:22] ---**
    We can't afford to be indecisive.
**[06:25] ---**
    Let's move to a bigger area
**[06:28] ---**
    where Kiba and Akamaru
    can track us easily.
**[06:44] ---**
    The Leaf isn't coming after us.
**[06:47] ---**
    Now we know what
    they're really like inside.
**[06:49] ---**
    This should be good enough.
**[06:51] ---**
    I'll let him know
    just what happened.
**[06:59] ---**
    Yahiko! Konan!
**[07:07] ---**
    This tunnel…
**[07:16] ---**
    Hey!
**[07:51] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[07:52] ---**
    These walls…this tunnel…
**[07:57] ---**
    Were they…created naturally?
**[08:14] ---**
    W-What?!
**[08:32] ---**
    Lord Mashima… Lord Mashima…
**[08:34] ---**
    Please protect my sons!
**[08:38] ---**
    Please… Please…
**[08:40] ---**
    Please protect them
    and keep them safe!
**[08:49] ---**
    I'm sorry to interrupt your prayers…
**[08:53] ---**
    We're just passing through, but…
**[08:55] ---**
    What is this?
**[08:58] ---**
    It's Lord Mashima.
**[09:00] ---**
    He sleeps beneath the earth…
**[09:02] ---**
    …and protects our village.
**[09:07] ---**
    Did something happen
    in the village?
**[09:12] ---**
    We maintained a modest,
    peaceful way of life,
**[09:15] ---**
    so as not to awaken Lord Mashima.
**[09:19] ---**
    But then, just recently,
**[09:22] ---**
    strangers came to our village
**[09:23] ---**
    and warned us it might
    become a battlefield.
**[09:27] ---**
    They told us to evacuate to
    a safer place for a while.
**[09:30] ---**
    We were forced to leave our village.
**[09:35] ---**
    But…
**[09:36] ---**
    My two boys returned
    to the village…
**[09:40] ---**
    I tried to go after them,
**[09:42] ---**
    but they were much faster
    and we got separated.
**[09:47] ---**
    That's why I'm praying to
    Lord Mashima for their safety.
**[09:59] ---**
    Lord Mashima?
**[10:15] ---**
    Here it comes!
**[10:16] ---**
    It's huge!
**[10:19] ---**
    *What is it?*
**[10:29] ---**
    Not good!
**[10:31] ---**
    There's no place to escape!
**[10:59] ---**
    You saved us, Nagato…
**[11:00] ---**
    Thank you.
**[11:02] ---**
    We barely made it.
**[11:04] ---**
    What was that just now?
**[11:05] ---**
    I don't know.
**[11:07] ---**
    We have to get to the kids.
**[11:27] ---**
    What is that?
**[11:45] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[11:51] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei…
**[11:53] ---**
    Come here,
    if you want to save them.
**[11:55] ---**
    If you don't, I'll execute them.
**[11:59] ---**
    Don't move!
**[12:00] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[12:02] ---**
    Calm down!
**[12:03] ---**
    Don't fall for their trap!
**[12:05] ---**
    We have to get word of this
**[12:07] ---**
    to the Leaf Village
    as soon as possible.
**[12:11] ---**
    Yes.
**[12:12] ---**
    We'll have to break up
    into two teams.
**[12:14] ---**
    One stays here, the other goes
    to notify the village.
**[12:18] ---**
    No… there's a chance
    we'll be ambushed on the way.
**[12:21] ---**
    We have to maintain our combat power
    as much as possible.
**[12:24] ---**
    You'll abandon your friends…
    to follow the rules.
**[12:28] ---**
    So the essence of the Hidden Leaf
    has been passed down
**[12:32] ---**
    to its younger generation too.
**[12:42] ---**
    That's right.
    And that's how it should be.
**[12:45] ---**
    Whoever he is, that guy
    is trying to challenge us…
**[12:48] ---**
    and break up our strength.
**[12:53] ---**
    I'm…
**[12:54] ---**
    I'm not like you.
**[12:56] ---**
    – What?
    – I'll never turn my back on them!
**[13:00] ---**
    – Naruto!
    – Why that—!
**[13:01] ---**
    Come back!
**[13:03] ---**
    I'll go!
**[13:04] ---**
    Take care of things here!
**[13:06] ---**
    Neji!
**[13:51] ---**
    Big brother…
    We lost Kenta!
**[13:55] ---**
    We'll find him later.
**[13:57] ---**
    You promise?
**[14:15] ---**
    Big brother!
**[14:33] ---**
    Big brother, I'm scared!
**[14:35] ---**
    It's all right.
**[15:18] ---**
    Kenta!
**[15:26] ---**
    Hey, Shikamaru.
**[15:28] ---**
    Let's not do this.
**[15:30] ---**
    I don't think this is right.
**[15:33] ---**
    Deities are supposed to be
    inside these shrines, right?
**[15:37] ---**
    You're asking for
    divine punishment!
**[15:39] ---**
    I knew it. I was right, after all.
**[15:45] ---**
    Okay…
**[15:47] ---**
    Let's go meet this Lord Mashima.
**[15:52] ---**
    What?
**[15:53] ---**
    This is—!
**[16:03] ---**
    Come on!
**[16:05] ---**
    I'll filet you into three pieces!
**[16:12] ---**
    Nagato!
**[16:23] ---**
    There they are!
**[16:44] ---**
    It's coming!
**[17:02] ---**
    What? A second one?!
**[17:14] ---**
    Stay away!
**[17:20] ---**
    Expansion Jutsu!
**[17:23] ---**
    Human Boulder!
**[17:51] ---**
    Komichi!
**[18:16] ---**
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
**[18:23] ---**
    You guys…
**[18:25] ---**
    …came.
**[18:38] ---**
    What happened to Neji and Naruto?
**[18:40] ---**
    What was that just now?
**[18:43] ---**
    It's probably some kind
    of time-space jutsu.
**[18:46] ---**
    But who could use such
    a high-level ninjutsu?
**[18:50] ---**
    Damn it…
**[18:51] ---**
    Thanks to him,
    we have more trouble to deal with.
**[19:06] ---**
    Where are we?
**[19:08] ---**
    I don't know…
**[19:17] ---**
    Are you the one responsible
    for all this?
**[19:19] ---**
    Hey!
**[19:20] ---**
    Return Kakashi Sensei and
    everyone else from the Hidden Leaf!
**[19:23] ---**
    Or else…you're gonna get it!
**[19:31] ---**
    Naruto, get away from him.
**[19:34] ---**
    Don't butt in!
**[19:36] ---**
    I'm about to settle this right now!
**[19:39] ---**
    Look at his eyes.
**[19:46] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:48] ---**
    The Byakugan?
**[19:51] ---**
    You're no match for him.
**[19:55] ---**
    Who are you?
**[19:58] ---**
    How do you possess the Byakugan?
**[20:01] ---**
    Don't tell me you have ties
    to the Hyuga?
**[20:05] ---**
    Look at the cloud of dust…
**[20:08] ---**
    Your comrades did that.
**[20:13] ---**
    What happened?
**[20:16] ---**
    They put their village's rules
    before the lives of children.
**[20:21] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf hasn't changed
    a bit in all these years.
**[20:28] ---**
    What would you know
    about the Hidden Leaf?
**[20:30] ---**
    Oh, I know plenty.
**[20:32] ---**
    In fact, I know more
    than anyone presently here.
**[20:38] ---**
    Follow me…
**[20:41] ---**
    Neji Hyuga.
**[20:45] ---**
    If you want to know
    the ugly truth
**[20:48] ---**
    that the Hidden Leaf has covered up
    in this village.
**[20:53] ---**
    *What?*
**[20:55] ---**
    *What is he talking about?*
**[22:38] ---**
    Let's hurry back to the village and
    report our present status.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    We don't want
    any more casualties.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    What are you saying?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    It's not just Guy Sensei,
    but Neji is missing!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    As well as Naruto,
    who's on your team!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Masked Man"
    
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    This all happened because
    he was being out of line!
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero –
    The Masked Man
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Neji and Naruto looked up…*
**[00:29] ---**
    *and found themselves in*
    *a space different from before…*
**[00:34] ---**
    Are you the one responsible
    for all of this?
**[00:36] ---**
    Hey!
**[00:37] ---**
    Let Kakashi Sensei and everyone
    from the Hidden Leaf go!
**[00:40] ---**
    Or you're gonna get it!
**[00:47] ---**
    Naruto! Get away from him!
**[00:50] ---**
    Don't butt in!
**[00:51] ---**
    I'm about to settle this right now!

    Don't tell me…
    Do you have ties to the Hyuga?
**[01:14] ---**
    Look at the cloud of dust…
**[01:18] ---**
    Your comrades did that.
**[01:23] ---**
    What happened?
**[01:25] ---**
    They put their village's rules before
    the lives of the children.
**[01:30] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf hasn't changed

    Oh, I know plenty.

**[01:48] ---**
    Follow me…
**[01:50] ---**
    Neji Hyuga.
**[01:54] ---**
    If you want to discover
    the ugly truth
**[01:57] ---**
    the Hidden Leaf has covered up…
**[02:02] ---**
    *What?*
**[02:04] ---**
    *What is he talking about?*

**[03:50] ---**
    Komichi!
**[04:15] ---**
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu, complete.
**[04:19] ---**
    You guys…
**[04:21] ---**
    …came.
**[04:26] ---**
    Hurry, get the child!
**[04:36] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:43] ---**
    Komichi!
**[04:46] ---**
    Ino!
**[04:48] ---**
    Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu!
**[05:01] ---**
    No!
**[05:08] ---**
    Nagato, go!
**[05:10] ---**
    Hurry and find that monster!
**[05:12] ---**
    Leave it to us!
**[05:14] ---**
    Her psyche has entered
    the child's body.
**[05:18] ---**
    That's…possible?
**[05:26] ---**
    Ino's probably jumping
    around inside of it.
**[05:42] ---**
    Konan!
**[06:01] ---**
    Now!
**[06:30] ---**
    Ino!
**[06:38] ---**
    Komichi!
**[06:40] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[06:46] ---**
    Choji!
**[07:25] ---**
    Hey! I almost got blown up!
**[07:35] ---**
    *What's up with his eye?*
**[07:42] ---**
    – Mommy!
    – Mommy!
**[07:45] ---**
    Ashitaba! Komichi!
**[07:49] ---**
    You two—!
**[07:50] ---**
    I'm sorry, so sorry!
**[07:53] ---**
    Lord Mashima protected you…
    the both of you!
**[07:58] ---**
    No, it was the people over there…
**[08:07] ---**
    Where did they—?
**[08:12] ---**
    Tell us…
**[08:15] ---**
    Right from the beginning,
**[08:17] ---**
    I didn't get the feeling that
    you wanted to kill us.
**[08:23] ---**
    You were trying to get us
    to do something.
**[08:26] ---**
    I was wrong about you.
**[08:29] ---**
    You'd never disobey an order
    from the Hidden Leaf…
**[08:32] ---**
    You can't live outside
    the rules of the Hidden Leaf.
**[08:36] ---**
    I assumed you were
    that kind of shinobi…
**[08:40] ---**
    But I was very wrong.
**[08:50] ---**
    Through your actions,
**[08:52] ---**
    you demonstrated what
    Jiraiya Sensei taught us to do.
**[08:55] ---**
    You used your powers
    to help people in need,
**[08:58] ---**
    even if they aren't from
    the Hidden Leaf…
**[09:03] ---**
    I was really happy that
    you came back.
**[09:07] ---**
    Thanks to you,
    we were saved too.
**[09:14] ---**
    Are you joking?
**[09:16] ---**
    Would the three of you like
    to work with us?
**[09:20] ---**
    What are they talking about?
**[09:21] ---**
    Didn't they abduct Asuma Sensei?
**[09:25] ---**
    Yeah…
**[09:26] ---**
    I'm not asking you to join us…
**[09:29] ---**
    I don't care if you stay with the Leaf.
**[09:31] ---**
    We can travel from nation to nation,
**[09:33] ---**
    like Jiraiya Sensei, and cross over
    meaningless borders…
**[09:37] ---**
    Let's show the world
    that we're free!
**[09:42] ---**
    What does that mean?
**[09:43] ---**
    Well, it's kinda unclear…
**[09:48] ---**
    In other words,
    be like Team Jiraiya, right?
**[09:52] ---**
    I want our aspirations
    to be united…with you.
**[09:57] ---**
    You haven't even told us where
    Asuma Sensei and the others are…
**[10:01] ---**
    We're not that naïve…
**[10:03] ---**
    First, you have to help us
    get Asuma Sensei back.
**[10:07] ---**
    Yeah, that's right.
**[10:12] ---**
    We can't help you with that.
**[10:17] ---**
    There's someone else
    pulling the strings, isn't there?
**[10:21] ---**
    This "test" doesn't seem
    to be your idea either.
**[10:26] ---**
    Sorry. They haven't given us
    the details.
**[10:31] ---**
    You don't have the details,
**[10:33] ---**
    but you have some idea
    of what's going on.
**[10:40] ---**
    What a drag…
**[10:43] ---**
    I guess it means
    we'll have to fight it out…
**[10:47] ---**
    If we're at odds with each other…
**[10:50] ---**
    there's no other way.
**[11:03] ---**
    One of yours?
**[11:05] ---**
    Yeah, three plus a dog.
**[11:09] ---**
    And they're strong.
**[11:11] ---**
    Are you implying that we're weak?
**[11:24] ---**
    Shikamaru! Choji! Ino!
**[11:27] ---**
    Hey.
**[11:28] ---**
    We were waiting for you.
**[11:32] ---**
    You're late.
**[11:34] ---**
    Oh, we ran into some trouble.
**[11:38] ---**
    Wasn't someone else just here?
**[11:41] ---**
    No…
**[11:43] ---**
    It's just been us all this time…
**[11:45] ---**
    Strange…
**[11:47] ---**
    I caught scent of a few others…
**[11:51] ---**
    Oh, really?
**[11:52] ---**
    Anyway…
**[11:53] ---**
    What do we do, Shikamaru?
**[11:55] ---**
    Yeah! That's why
    we rushed over here!
**[12:00] ---**
    Yes, we'd like you to take the lead.
**[12:06] ---**
    Our first priority is to report
    on the situation to the village.
**[12:10] ---**
    We need to get instructions
    from Lord Fourth.
**[12:12] ---**
    Of course…
**[12:14] ---**
    We'll do what we can to get Asuma
    and the others back!
**[12:23] ---**
    In order to allocate the tasks,
**[12:25] ---**
    we'll join up with
    Teams Kakashi and Guy.
**[12:29] ---**
    It's a drag…
    but let's wrap this up quick!
**[12:37] ---**
    We can't waste any more time.
**[12:41] ---**
    We'll return to the village immediately
    and report on the situation.
**[12:44] ---**
    We can't afford any more casualties.
**[12:47] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[12:48] ---**
    We've already lost Guy Sensei.
**[12:50] ---**
    And now, even Neji is missing!
**[12:52] ---**
    And Naruto from your team!
**[12:55] ---**
    This all started because
    he took off on his own.
**[12:59] ---**
    After I warned him not
    to make a move…
**[13:01] ---**
    We're from the class
    ahead of yours,
**[13:03] ---**
    so we don't know him that well…
**[13:05] ---**
    But isn't he an important friend
    and member of Team 7?
**[13:10] ---**
    Friend?
**[13:12] ---**
    Not only that…
**[13:13] ---**
    He's the precious son
    of the Fourth Hokage.
**[13:18] ---**
    Who cares?
**[13:22] ---**
    That has nothing to do
    with the mission.
**[13:25] ---**
    How can you be so cold?!
**[13:27] ---**
    To me, Guy Sensei is
    a dear mentor!
**[13:31] ---**
    And Neji is a precious friend.
**[13:34] ---**
    I can't just turn my back on them!
**[13:36] ---**
    Lee, calm down!
**[13:38] ---**
    Anyway, I'm going to look
    for Guy Sensei,
**[13:41] ---**
    Neji and the others!
**[13:44] ---**
    They're bound to be
    somewhere nearby.
**[13:48] ---**
    So there's no way I'll stop looking
    and return to the village!
**[13:52] ---**
    I won't let you.
**[13:53] ---**
    We have no clue
    what the enemy will do,
**[13:56] ---**
    so we can't split up
    our fighting power.
**[13:58] ---**
    We must move together.
**[13:59] ---**
    Oh! Neji, Guy Sensei!
**[14:02] ---**
    I'm coming to rescue you!
**[14:05] ---**
    Okay, Lee! I get it!
**[14:07] ---**
    I'll help you, so please—!
**[14:10] ---**
    I'm surrounded by idiots.
**[14:12] ---**
    But…
**[14:14] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[14:28] ---**
    The two teams did
    meet up perfectly…
**[14:31] ---**
    But now, they're moving
    in different directions.
**[14:34] ---**
    I wonder if something happened…
**[14:37] ---**
    Can you tell anything specific?
**[14:40] ---**
    One group is moving away
    from the village.
**[14:42] ---**
    The other one is frantically
    scrambling around the village.
**[14:45] ---**
    That's got to be Lee…
**[14:47] ---**
    So then Team Kakashi is trying
    to leave the village?
**[14:50] ---**
    Are they heading back to
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
**[14:53] ---**
    It's plausible.
**[14:55] ---**
    That's because Sasuke,
    who's cool-headed and rational,
**[14:58] ---**
    is on Team Kakashi.
**[15:01] ---**
    Anyway, we'll regroup with
    the ones closest to us.
**[15:03] ---**
    That would be the group
    in the village, right?
**[15:06] ---**
    Yeah…
**[15:07] ---**
    If we're going to rescue
    Asuma and the others,
**[15:09] ---**
    the last thing we need is someone
    making a fuss and standing out!
**[15:13] ---**
    We need to go and
    calm Lee down first.
**[15:49] ---**
    Now, follow me…
**[15:52] ---**
    If you want to discover
    the true nature of the Hidden Leaf.
**[16:29] ---**
    What is this?! What's going on?
**[16:32] ---**
    Old Man Third! And…
**[16:34] ---**
    Who are the others?
**[16:36] ---**
    Hey, hey, Neji?
**[16:38] ---**
    Be quiet!
**[16:40] ---**
    You can make
    all the noise you want.
**[16:42] ---**
    These are just images
    of past occurrences
**[16:46] ---**
    in the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[16:48] ---**
    It can't be helped.
**[16:50] ---**
    If my life alone will save the village…
**[16:59] ---**
    Hiashi… Don't be hasty.
**[17:03] ---**
    The Hyuga Kekkei Genkai is
    a crucial secret weapon
**[17:06] ---**
    for the village.
**[17:08] ---**
    It is your duty as the head
    of the main family to protect it.
**[17:13] ---**
    But if my duty to my family
**[17:16] ---**
    results in embroiling the village
    in a hopeless war…
**[17:19] ---**
    I understand.
**[17:21] ---**
    That is why there is a branch family.
**[17:25] ---**
    We have no choice,
    but to hand over…
**[17:27] ---**
    Hizashi's body as your stand-in.
**[17:37] ---**
    *Father…*
**[17:39] ---**
    Who's that guy?
**[17:41] ---**
    Do you know him?
**[17:43] ---**
    Hizashi Hyuga…
**[17:45] ---**
    He's my father.
**[17:48] ---**
    *It went down exactly*
    *as Lord Hiashi told me…*
**[17:52] ---**
    Where is the strong-willed Hiashi
    I've always known?
**[17:56] ---**
    The magnitude of this is greater
    than anything we've faced before.
**[18:00] ---**
    I can't just agree to it.
**[18:06] ---**
    Hizashi, you…!
**[18:08] ---**
    Please let me go.
**[18:11] ---**
    But you have…Neji!
**[18:17] ---**
    Why would you choose death
    for the sake of the main family?
**[18:23] ---**
    You are wrong.
**[18:25] ---**
    I've always resented
    the main family.
**[18:27] ---**
    Truth be told,
    I even hate it now.
**[18:30] ---**
    That's why…
**[18:31] ---**
    I want to die,
    not to protect the main family…
**[18:34] ---**
    but to protect you,
    my older brother.
**[18:38] ---**
    This is the first time in my life
**[18:40] ---**
    where I have the freedom
    to choose.
**[18:47] ---**
    I have shown Neji
    only the hateful side of me.
**[18:51] ---**
    So…
**[18:53] ---**
    Please relay this to him…
**[19:00] ---**
    I am not being killed in order
    to protect the main family.
**[19:04] ---**
    I have chosen death
    of my own free will
**[19:07] ---**
    to protect him, my brother,
    my family and the village.
**[19:13] ---**
    Are you saying that choosing death…
**[19:17] ---**
    is freedom?
**[19:20] ---**
    Elder Brother,
    just once in my life,
**[19:23] ---**
    I wanted to change
    my destiny as a Hyuga.
**[19:26] ---**
    That is all.
**[19:34] ---**
    Do you get it?
**[19:36] ---**
    Do you understand how
    he must have felt?
**[19:38] ---**
    Having no other choice
    but to say those words.
**[19:41] ---**
    He had to die for
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[19:44] ---**
    It was a fate
    he could not change.
**[19:46] ---**
    The one sliver of freedom he had
**[19:50] ---**
    was choosing to die
    to protect the ones he loved.
**[19:56] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[19:57] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf isn't like that!
**[20:00] ---**
    That's my hope too.
**[20:03] ---**
    It's now the era of
    the younger generation…
**[20:06] ---**
    and I hope there is change.
**[20:09] ---**
    H-Huh?
**[20:11] ---**
    However…
**[20:12] ---**
    You are already bound
    hand and foot
**[20:15] ---**
    to the code of the Hidden Leaf.
**[20:17] ---**
    You have no choice
    over your future
**[20:20] ---**
    or the future of the village.
**[20:22] ---**
    I know that now.
**[20:25] ---**
    That's not true, you—!
**[20:27] ---**
    And now that you know…
**[20:29] ---**
    What will you do?
**[20:31] ---**
    If the village cannot be changed
    from the inside,
**[20:34] ---**
    there's nothing left but to force
    a change from the outside.
**[20:39] ---**
    What do you say?
**[20:41] ---**
    Would you like to follow me?
**[20:45] ---**
    Neji! You're not thinking of—!
**[20:56] ---**
    Imagine finding you here…hiding.
**[21:01] ---**
    It's been a long time…
**[21:02] ---**
    Orochimaru.
**[22:38] ---**
    Are you telling me you can change
    the Rules of the Leaf?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Yes.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    To do so, I need collaborators.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Come with me!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    I understand…
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Neji! Don't go!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Wait here. I just want to hear
    what he has to say.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
    Lady Tsunade?
**[00:13] ---**
    What is it?
**[00:15] ---**
    You haven't eaten at all today.
**[00:19] ---**
    Oh, I didn't realize
    it was this late.
**[00:22] ---**
    Is that work?
**[00:24] ---**
    No. Just Jiraiya's silly novel.
**[00:27] ---**
    Oh…you mean
    the "Make Out" series…
**[00:31] ---**
    Actually, no.
    This one's a little different.
**[00:34] ---**
    It's about Naruto, Sasuke,
    and the young generation of the Leaf.
**[00:38] ---**
    It's actually a good read…
**[00:40] ---**
    I can't put it down.
**[00:43] ---**
    Really?
**[00:44] ---**
    Anyway, what would you like
    to do about dinner?
**[00:48] ---**
    I'm at a really good part right now…
**[00:50] ---**
    Shall I have dinner brought to you?
**[00:53] ---**
    Oh, I'd appreciate that.
**[00:56] ---**
    All right,
    it will be just a moment.
**[01:06] ---**
    Okay…where was I?
**[01:13] ---**
    How do you know about my father?
**[01:17] ---**
    Why would someone like you,
    from another village,
**[01:19] ---**
    want us to change
    the laws of the Hidden Leaf?
**[01:20] ---**
    Our dissatisfaction is common
    throughout the Shinobi World.
**[01:24] ---**
    If we first change
    the Five Great Nations
**[01:26] ---**
    and its most influential village,
    the Hidden Leaf,
**[01:29] ---**
    the entire Shinobi World will change.
**[01:33] ---**
    Are you telling me
    you can change the laws
**[01:35] ---**
    of a village as great
    as Hidden Leaf Village?
**[01:38] ---**
    Yes… And that is why I want
    collaborators who will cooperate.
**[01:45] ---**
    *Is it them?*
**[01:54] ---**
    You will suffice…
**[01:56] ---**
    Follow me!
**[01:59] ---**
    All right.
**[02:01] ---**
    Neji! Don't go!
**[02:04] ---**
    Wait here. I'm just going to
    hear what he has to say.
**[02:08] ---**
    No! I won't let you go!
**[02:26] ---**
    You just aimed for Chakra Points
    that would paralyze.
**[02:29] ---**
    Yes. His life isn't in danger.
**[02:37] ---**
    Hang in there for just a while.
**[02:41] ---**
    I want to see what he's planning,
    then I promise I'll be back.
**[02:56] ---**
    N-Neji…
**[04:41] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *The Sealed Power*
    
    
    
**[05:49] ---**
    No need to worry about them.
**[05:51] ---**
    They share my views.
**[05:56] ---**
    *We would like to present*
    *our report…*
**[05:58] ---**
    Is this about the disturbance
    involving the young siblings?
**[06:02] ---**
    *Yes…*
**[06:05] ---**
    *This is in regard to*
    *the cave-in that occurred*
**[06:07] ---**
    *while we were fighting*
    *a few of the Leaf Genin.*
**[06:11] ---**
    *At one point, a monster that*
    *was nesting underground*
**[06:14] ---**
    *endangered the kids' lives.*
**[06:17] ---**
    *For a time,*
**[06:19] ---**
    *the Leaf Genin coldly put*
    *their mission first and left.*
**[06:24] ---**
    *Leaf Genin?*
**[06:26] ---**
    So the accursed laws
    have found their way
**[06:29] ---**
    deep into the hearts
    of the younger generation…
**[06:32] ---**
    *But it hasn't.*
**[06:35] ---**
    *They returned soon after*
**[06:37] ---**
    *to rescue the children, and us*
    *even though they had no ties…*
**[06:44] ---**
    *They were good people.*
**[06:47] ---**
    *At least, at that moment they were…*
**[06:56] ---**
    *I feel they can become a force*
**[06:58] ---**
    *that will rouse the future*
    *of shinobi.*
**[07:01] ---**
    *As for the Hidden Leaf*
    *as an organization,*
**[07:04] ---**
    *we'll probably have to see*
    *how they make their move.*
**[07:09] ---**
    Good work.
**[07:11] ---**
    I want you to continue
    your surveillance.
**[07:17] ---**
    That incident you were speaking of…
**[07:19] ---**
    Was it about my fellow genin
    from the Leaf?
**[07:21] ---**
    Yes…
**[07:23] ---**
    What is your objective?!
**[07:25] ---**
    What are you trying to confirm?
**[07:28] ---**
    Would you like to find out with me?
**[07:32] ---**
    Like that man said…
**[07:35] ---**
    To see if those genin
    can become a force…
**[07:37] ---**
    that can rouse the future of shinobi?
**[07:51] ---**
    D-Damn it!
**[07:53] ---**
    *Chakra Points or whatever…*
**[07:56] ---**
    *It's sad that I can't move!*
**[07:59] ---**
    *If only I had more chakra,*
**[08:02] ---**
    *a jutsu like this would be easy to…*
**[08:05] ---**
    *Dad.*
**[08:09] ---**
    I've got this thing called
    the Nine Tails sealed inside me…
**[08:12] ---**
    And this is a huge problem!
**[08:14] ---**
    Naruto…
**[08:16] ---**
    I once told you, remember?
**[08:19] ---**
    I split the Nine Tails in two and
    left half inside your mother
**[08:22] ---**
    and sealed the other half inside you.
    And the reason was…
**[08:27] ---**
    Uh-huh… to save Mom's life,
    because she's a Jinchuriki.
**[08:32] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:34] ---**
    But that wasn't all.
**[08:36] ---**
    Huh?!
**[08:37] ---**
    I sealed the other half of
    the Nine Tails inside you
**[08:40] ---**
    because I had faith that you would be
    able to master the use of its power.
**[08:47] ---**
    The Nine Tails' chakra will become
    an immense power for you…
**[08:52] ---**
    as long as you can control it.
**[08:55] ---**
    But what's the purpose…
    of such a power?
**[08:59] ---**
    One day, that power will
    become necessary.
**[09:02] ---**
    When you are able to find
    something precious
**[09:04] ---**
    that you really want to protect…
**[09:06] ---**
    I guarantee it.
**[09:09] ---**
    *Something precious that I want*
    *to protect with its power…*
**[09:14] ---**
    *Hey, you dumb fox!*
    *Lend me your chakra again!*
**[09:18] ---**
    *Use your chakra and turn*
    *my Chakra Points back to normal!*
**[09:26] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[09:30] ---**
    Why aren't you answering me,
    Nine Tails?!
**[09:47] ---**
    We'll rendezvous with Team Asuma
    and Team Kurenai here.
**[09:51] ---**
    This spot will be easy to sense.
**[09:53] ---**
    But…
**[09:54] ---**
    Considering the time,
**[09:56] ---**
    Teams Asuma and Kurenai
    have probably joined up.
**[10:00] ---**
    They should come
    looking for us next.
**[10:02] ---**
    Even if it's just the two of us,
**[10:04] ---**
    shouldn't we head back
    to the village?
**[10:06] ---**
    Lord Fourth didn't choose us
    for this mission
**[10:09] ---**
    because of our fighting ability.
**[10:12] ---**
    He chose us merely because
    the younger we are,
**[10:14] ---**
    the harder it is for the enemy
    to use their jutsu on us.
**[10:17] ---**
    That's why he ordered us to return
    to the village immediately
**[10:20] ---**
    without engaging as soon
    as we scoped out the situation.
**[10:24] ---**
    Oh.
**[10:26] ---**
    We still haven't identified the enemy
    and don't know how many there are,
**[10:29] ---**
    so it's bad to divide up
    our fighting power.
**[10:32] ---**
    Then what about the others who
    went to save their teammates?
**[10:36] ---**
    A shinobi puts priority
    on the rules…
**[10:40] ---**
    and the orders given
    under the rules…
**[10:43] ---**
    We can't be swayed
    by compassion.
**[10:52] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[10:54] ---**
    Neji!
**[10:56] ---**
    Wait, Lee!
**[10:58] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[11:00] ---**
    We have to find Guy Sensei!
**[11:02] ---**
    But searching blindly
    like this isn't…
**[11:05] ---**
    Blind or not,
    I will find Guy Sensei!
**[11:12] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[11:20] ---**
    Get a hold of yourself!
**[11:24] ---**
    What?
**[11:27] ---**
    Unless I'm doing something,
    I feel so uneasy and scared.
**[11:30] ---**
    And I end up thinking about all of
    the bad things that can happen…
**[11:34] ---**
    Calm down…
**[11:36] ---**
    Your perseverance
    is sure to pay off!
**[11:41] ---**
    You're right!
**[11:43] ---**
    It's okay! All I have to do
    is persevere!
**[11:48] ---**
    Guy Sensei! Neji!
**[12:09] ---**
    Well, Kiba?!
**[12:11] ---**
    Will we be able to join up
    with everyone?
**[12:15] ---**
    Lee's started running around again.
**[12:18] ---**
    I wonder if Tenten's with him.
**[12:20] ---**
    Yeah, she's right behind Lee.
**[12:23] ---**
    They're on the same team,
**[12:25] ---**
    but she must be going crazy
    trying to keep up with Lee.
**[12:28] ---**
    True.
**[12:30] ---**
    What's Neji doing?
**[12:32] ---**
    If Neji's around, Lee won't be
    able to do whatever he pleases.
**[12:36] ---**
    That's because…
**[12:37] ---**
    The thing is…
**[12:39] ---**
    I can't pick up on Neji's scent.
**[12:57] ---**
    No, Neji is there…
**[13:00] ---**
    Near Sasuke and Sakura.
**[13:03] ---**
    Is he alone? What about Naruto?
**[13:06] ---**
    I don't see Naruto.
**[13:08] ---**
    But…how can I put this…
**[13:10] ---**
    It feels like Neji is inside
    something hazy…
**[13:13] ---**
    And there's someone next
    to him.
**[13:16] ---**
    Are there any others?
**[13:25] ---**
    There's someone else lurking around
    Sakura and Sasuke!
**[14:05] ---**
    Sasuke and Sakura are our comrades
    from the Hidden Leaf.
**[14:10] ---**
    Then see for yourself
    what they are really like.
**[14:17] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[14:20] ---**
    Be quiet…
**[14:27] ---**
    *Is it Kiba and the others?*
**[14:30] ---**
    Fire Style! Phoenix Flower Jutsu!
**[15:02] ---**
    I had you pegged as a brat who can't
    stay still and loves to show off…
**[15:08] ---**
    Oh well, I don't like to wait,
    so I guess we can start this.
**[15:14] ---**
    Who the hell are you?
**[15:17] ---**
    You can think of me
    as a gatekeeper.
**[15:20] ---**
    I'm not letting you
    go any further.
**[15:37] ---**
    Yes… We can't smell Neji,
**[15:40] ---**
    but there's no mistake that
    there's another guy close to Sasuke.
**[15:45] ---**
    If you can't smell him, how can he
    be seen with the Byakugan?
**[15:49] ---**
    What does it mean?
**[15:50] ---**
    I don't know, but it probably means
    that the enemy is still detaining Neji.
**[15:56] ---**
    There's no mistake…
**[15:57] ---**
    Neji isn't trying to move out
    of that haze.
**[16:01] ---**
    Then there's nothing
    we can do by staying here.
**[16:04] ---**
    Hinata, lead the way.
**[16:06] ---**
    You got it.
**[16:08] ---**
    Let's go!
**[16:23] ---**
    Such annoying flies.
**[16:25] ---**
    Want me to smash them
    with my fly swatter?
**[16:34] ---**
    The tip of the tail
    could be poisoned!
**[16:50] ---**
    Guy Sensei! Neji!
**[16:53] ---**
    Naruto and the team captains!
**[16:59] ---**
    What's the matter?!
**[17:00] ---**
    Tenten!
**[17:02] ---**
    Run!
**[17:09] ---**
    This is bad!
**[17:12] ---**
    What are they?
**[17:17] ---**
    They must be the ones
    who abducted Guy Sensei!
**[17:20] ---**
    We must capture them!
**[17:22] ---**
    We have to get away somehow,
**[17:24] ---**
    and move to a more suitable place
    for close combat.
**[17:35] ---**
    Yeah, it's strange.
**[17:36] ---**
    Lee and Tenten's movements
    seem irregular.
**[17:39] ---**
    What do you mean?!
**[17:41] ---**
    It could be a coincidence,
**[17:43] ---**
    but Lee and the others are heading
    to where Sasuke is fighting.
**[17:47] ---**
    That's perfect!
**[17:49] ---**
    Let's hurry over there too!
**[17:51] ---**
    Right!
**[18:08] ---**
    Don't underestimate me…
**[18:10] ---**
    If a kunai won't work…
**[18:12] ---**
    Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
**[18:34] ---**
    What the hell is he?
**[18:36] ---**
    Is he human?
**[18:38] ---**
    "Human…"?
**[18:41] ---**
    That's so boring.
**[18:44] ---**
    I'm my own masterpiece.
**[18:57] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[19:01] ---**
    This means…the poison!
**[19:18] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[19:23] ---**
    *It just happened,*
    *before I knew it.*
**[19:25] ---**
    *But killing one human*
    *means nothing…*
**[19:34] ---**
    *You dumb fox!*
**[19:36] ---**
    *Why won't you answer me?*
**[19:39] ---**
    *Shut up!*
**[19:41] ---**
    *Nine Tails!*
**[19:47] ---**
    *Because it's impossible*
    *for you right now.*
**[19:52] ---**
    What's impossible?
**[19:54] ---**
    *In order to break the immobilizing jutsu*
    *applied to your Chakra Points,*
**[19:59] ---**
    *you need to be able to control*
    *a massive amount of my chakra.*
**[20:03] ---**
    *But at this point,*
    *you can't manage that.*
**[20:08] ---**
    You don't know that until I try it.
**[20:11] ---**
    *What?*
**[20:13] ---**
    *If that makes you mad, open up*
    *the Eight Signed Seal and free me.*
**[20:19] ---**
    *Then I'll consider it.*
**[20:23] ---**
    *Dad's Eight Signed Seal?*
**[20:26] ---**
    *That's something I can't do yet.*
**[20:42] ---**
    Summoning: Toad Mouth Trap!
**[20:53] ---**
    Pervy Sage!
**[22:38] ---**
    Wrong!
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Lady Tsunade?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Jiraiya has absolutely no idea!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Oh, you were just agitated
    because of Jiraiya's novel…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    This is inexcusable!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Even if it's just a novel,
    you can't bend the truth!

**[00:07] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[00:14] ---**
    L-Lady Tsunade?!
**[00:16] ---**
    What's wrong?!
**[00:18] ---**
    Jiraiya doesn't understand
    a thing!
**[00:21] ---**
    Oh, you were just worked up
    over Jiraiya's novel…
**[00:24] ---**
    It's not funny!
    This is inexcusable!
**[00:26] ---**
    Even if it's a novel,
    you can't bend the truth!
**[00:30] ---**
    There's no way Sakura, my beloved pupil,
    would be this meek!
**[00:35] ---**
    I brought you rice balls
    for dinner,
**[00:37] ---**
    since I figured they'd be easier
    to eat while you read…
**[00:38] ---**
    Please take a break.
**[00:40] ---**
    Is that so? That was quite
    thoughtful of you.
**[00:46] ---**
    Salty!
**[00:50] ---**
    What is this?
**[00:51] ---**
    The picked plum
    is ten years old.
**[00:54] ---**
    It's too salty!
**[01:01] ---**
    The tea's just been made
    so it's very hot.
**[01:03] ---**
    Tell me sooner!
**[02:51] ---**
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero-
    "The Rules or a Comrade"
**[03:04] ---**
    The Hyuga's future,
    rather the future of all shinobi,
**[03:08] ---**
    rests on this test.
**[03:11] ---**
    Watch carefully until the end.
**[03:14] ---**
    Their hidden selves will
    soon be revealed.
**[03:18] ---**
    I won't let them be killed.
**[03:35] ---**
    How dare you!
**[03:36] ---**
    How dare you do
    this to Sasuke!
**[03:39] ---**
    You're such a pain.
**[03:41] ---**
    Do you want to die too?
**[03:44] ---**
    *Don't forget your purpose!*
**[03:47] ---**
    *Your orders were to uncover*
    *their true selves…*
**[03:52] ---**
    *I didn't order you to kill them.*
**[03:55] ---**
    *So he was spying on me…*
**[03:58] ---**
    *I know. It's just a test, right?*
**[04:00] ---**
    *I'll prove to the shinobi*
    *who's watching all of this…*
**[04:04] ---**
    *that there is no future!*
**[04:21] ---**
    Cha!
**[05:05] ---**
    I removed all the poison.
**[05:08] ---**
    You'll be okay now.
**[05:10] ---**
    When did you learn
    Medical Ninjutsu?
**[05:13] ---**
    I've been secretly apprenticing
    with Lady Tsunade.
**[05:17] ---**
    Oh, really?
**[05:19] ---**
    Well, that saved my life.
**[05:23] ---**
    This is it?
**[05:25] ---**
    If that was the test,
    what did it prove?
**[05:29] ---**
    No, there's more.
**[05:31] ---**
    And it's just about to begin.
**[05:42] ---**
    Your Chakra Points are clear now.
**[05:44] ---**
    You should be able to move.
**[05:49] ---**
    Th-Thanks, Pervy Sage.
**[05:54] ---**
    Take these pills…
    They'll replenish your chakra.
**[05:57] ---**
    Okay.
**[06:01] ---**
    Why are you here, Pervy Sage?
**[06:03] ---**
    I've been searching for
    a certain someone
**[06:06] ---**
    and came upon some intel,
**[06:09] ---**
    so I stopped by
    the Hidden Leaf Village…
**[06:12] ---**
    I heard about what
    was going on here
**[06:14] ---**
    and convinced Minato
    to transport me here.
**[06:17] ---**
    I'm surprised he knew
    where I was.
**[06:20] ---**
    Apparently, the seal that
    Minato placed inside you
**[06:23] ---**
    also has a Marking.
**[06:26] ---**
    As long as you have the Marking,
**[06:27] ---**
    his jutsu can
    get us to you instantly,
**[06:29] ---**
    no matter how far away you are.
**[06:32] ---**
    Aww Dad!
**[06:33] ---**
    By the way, how is everyone?
**[06:37] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei and the other captains
    have been abducted.
**[06:40] ---**
    Neji and I were
    locked up in here.
**[06:43] ---**
    Oh. And then what…?
**[06:45] ---**
    Neji went off with
    a guy wearing a mask.
**[06:49] ---**
    And you saw the rest…
**[06:51] ---**
    Damn it!
**[06:52] ---**
    If I only had more power,
**[06:54] ---**
    I could've beaten up that
    masked guy…
**[06:57] ---**
    and gone to save Kakashi Sensei
    and the others!
**[07:11] ---**
    You've still have
    a long ways to go.
**[07:12] ---**
    Damn it!
**[07:14] ---**
    Today's the last day
    of this training.
**[07:16] ---**
    But even when I'm gone,
    keep practicing by yourself.
**[07:21] ---**
    Do you remember the training
    we did for the Summoning Jutsu?
**[07:23] ---**
    Yeah! Just the other day,
**[07:25] ---**
    I was falling toward the bottom
    of the valley and almost died!
**[07:28] ---**
    But I was able to summon
    the Great Toad!
**[07:32] ---**
    Is that so?
**[07:33] ---**
    Okay, try it again right here!
**[07:36] ---**
    All right!
**[07:40] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[07:46] ---**
    H-Huh?
**[07:49] ---**
    No…that's not good.
**[07:50] ---**
    I see you've been
    ignoring your training.
**[07:53] ---**
    No! I've been doing
    the training properly!
**[07:55] ---**
    And besides, Dad's been
    training me separately too.
**[08:02] ---**
    *The first step is…rotation…*
**[08:11] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[08:12] ---**
    *I sped up the rotation*
    *of the water inside,*
**[08:14] ---**
    *but the water balloon won't break.*
**[08:30] ---**
    *That's it!*
**[08:30] ---**
    *If I just shake up the water*
    *inside the balloon*
**[08:33] ---**
    *the way the cat did…*
**[08:54] ---**
    Dad?
**[08:58] ---**
    I was able to do the first part!
**[09:00] ---**
    I got a hint from the way
    a stray cat was playing
**[09:02] ---**
    with the water balloon!
**[09:04] ---**
    So teach me the next part!
**[09:07] ---**
    Hey, not so fast!
**[09:10] ---**
    How about a popsicle break?
**[09:13] ---**
    Huh? Okay…
**[09:19] ---**
    If I master up to step three,
**[09:21] ---**
    can you teach me
    the Summoning Jutsu?
**[09:24] ---**
    If I don't know it by
    the next time I see Pervy Sage,
**[09:26] ---**
    he's gonna get mad at me.
**[09:28] ---**
    With anything, you've got to
    take it one step at a time.
**[09:31] ---**
    Yeah, I got it, Dad.
**[09:36] ---**
    I was able to summon the Great Toad
    because of Dad's training…
**[09:41] ---**
    Even though it was only
    that one time.
**[09:43] ---**
    And that's when I met Nine Tails
    for the first time.
**[09:46] ---**
    Oh…
**[09:49] ---**
    All right… Why don't we try it!
**[09:51] ---**
    Huh?!
**[09:52] ---**
    I'll weaken the Eight Signed
    Sealing Formula.
**[09:54] ---**
    Then the Nine Tails' Chakra
    will be released.
**[10:00] ---**
    But…if you can't control
    that power,
**[10:03] ---**
    the Nine Tails' will rob you
    of your consciousness.
**[10:07] ---**
    I'll try it!
**[10:07] ---**
    Please do it!
**[10:11] ---**
    Hey, hey…
**[10:15] ---**
    Stop!
**[10:16] ---**
    Ouch! What's that for?!
**[10:18] ---**
    Look!
**[10:19] ---**
    No more paper shuriken
    are coming at us.
**[10:21] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:25] ---**
    You're right.
**[10:26] ---**
    All signs of the enemy are gone…
**[10:29] ---**
    Or…something weird is going on…
**[10:33] ---**
    We were under such heavy attack…
**[10:35] ---**
    But we're uninjured.
**[10:36] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[10:38] ---**
    Lee! Tenten!
**[10:40] ---**
    – Kiba!
    – Everyone!
**[10:42] ---**
    We finally caught up to you!
**[10:48] ---**
    Where's the enemy?
**[10:49] ---**
    How many are there?
**[10:51] ---**
    Well…
**[10:53] ---**
    I saw with my Byakugan that
**[10:54] ---**
    you two were being attacked
    and pursued…
**[10:58] ---**
    Well, you see…
**[11:00] ---**
    As soon as we got here,
**[11:01] ---**
    all signs of them
    suddenly disappeared.
**[11:03] ---**
    Disappeared?
**[11:04] ---**
    Yes…almost as if
    a fox spirited them away.
**[11:08] ---**
    Where is Neji?
**[11:11] ---**
    Naruto fell into the enemy's trap.
**[11:15] ---**
    And Neji went after him.
**[11:17] ---**
    Naruto too?
**[11:18] ---**
    Wait a minute.
**[11:20] ---**
    This scent…
**[11:22] ---**
    Sasuke and Sakura
    should be nearby too!
**[11:25] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[11:33] ---**
    We must hurry!
**[11:35] ---**
    I see a shadowy, enemy-like figure
    approaching them,
**[11:37] ---**
    but Sasuke and Sakura
    seem unaware of it!
**[11:53] ---**
    Hey, hey!
**[11:55] ---**
    You promised!
**[11:56] ---**
    You're going to help me
    train today right?
**[12:00] ---**
    Sorry, Sasuke…
**[12:03] ---**
    Lord Fourth just summoned me.
**[12:06] ---**
    I was looking forward to having you
    watch me, Big Brother.
**[12:11] ---**
    Definitely next time.
**[12:13] ---**
    You should go ask Father
    to help you today.
**[12:16] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[12:29] ---**
    *A-Amazing…*
**[12:34] ---**
    This is the fundamental ninjutsu
    of the Uchiha Clan…
**[12:36] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
**[12:38] ---**
    I've already shown you
    the hand signs.
**[12:41] ---**
    Build up and infuse your chakra,
    focus it at a point in your chest.
**[12:45] ---**
    Then release it in
    one large breath.
**[12:48] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[12:51] ---**
    *Father is teaching me*
    *the jutsu himself!*
**[12:57] ---**
    *Father finally acknowledges me!*
**[13:02] ---**
    *I can't disappoint him!*
**[13:08] ---**
    *I can do it!*
**[13:12] ---**
    *Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!*
**[13:25] ---**
    Why did I think
    you would be like Itachi?
**[13:32] ---**
    It's too soon,
    you're not ready yet.
**[13:46] ---**
    – Sakura!
    – Yes!
**[13:52] ---**
    I wasn't able to inflict
    a fatal wound with my attack…
**[13:57] ---**
    There is a limit to life.
**[14:00] ---**
    But, art is forever.
**[14:03] ---**
    Do you want to see…
**[14:05] ---**
    my everlasting army?
**[14:08] ---**
    Every one of them is
    a truly valuable work of art
**[14:11] ---**
    that surpasses life.
**[14:13] ---**
    Secret Red Move: Performance
    of a Hundred Puppets!
**[14:26] ---**
    One hundred puppets.
**[14:37] ---**
    All these puppets…
**[14:39] ---**
    This is impossible…
**[14:42] ---**
    Now, what are you going to do?
**[14:44] ---**
    Are you going to fight each
    of my 100 pieces of art?
**[14:48] ---**
    Or will you just cower in fear?
**[14:51] ---**
    I will let you decide.
**[15:02] ---**
    *He said he was the gatekeeper…*
**[15:05] ---**
    *If that's true…*
**[15:06] ---**
    *These guys are preventing us*
    *from returning*
**[15:09] ---**
    *to the Hidden Leaf Village.*
**[15:12] ---**
    *And as long as*
    *we don't try to pass them,*
**[15:14] ---**
    *they won't attack.*
**[15:16] ---**
    *Can Sakura and I take*
    *on 100 puppets*
**[15:19] ---**
    *and make it through?*
**[15:22] ---**
    *That's close to impossible.*
**[15:26] ---**
    *However, if we had more*
    *on our side…*
**[15:31] ---**
    Everyone!
**[15:35] ---**
    *Finally, we're able to rendezvous.*
**[15:42] ---**
    We're going to hide
    our presence for a while…
**[15:55] ---**
    What's going on?
**[16:01] ---**
    Are they puppets?
**[16:03] ---**
    Yeah, a hundred of them.
**[16:08] ---**
    *On our side…*
**[16:09] ---**
    *There are ten including me…*
    *plus a dog.*
**[16:13] ---**
    What happened here?
**[16:15] ---**
    A puppet user brought them out
    to create a blockade.
**[16:19] ---**
    A blockade?
**[16:20] ---**
    Where's the puppet user?
**[16:22] ---**
    He's watching to see what
    our next move will be.
**[16:25] ---**
    Sasuke, what did you
    first intend on doing?
**[16:28] ---**
    If we want Lord Fourth to
    conduct a rescue mission,
**[16:31] ---**
    we have to return quickly to
    the village and report back to him.
**[16:34] ---**
    But if we bring down
    all 100 puppets here,
**[16:36] ---**
    we can get out of here.
**[16:38] ---**
    You sure make it sound easy.
**[16:40] ---**
    But it's not impossible…right?
**[16:43] ---**
    If we're going to complete
    our mission,
**[16:46] ---**
    we have no other choice.
**[16:47] ---**
    Wait! We're not going back
    to the village!
**[16:49] ---**
    We're not giving up on rescuing
    the team captains.
**[16:53] ---**
    You plan on abandoning
    the mission?
**[16:55] ---**
    No, that's not it.
**[16:57] ---**
    That's because there's also the option
    of breaking up into two teams:
**[17:00] ---**
    one to look for the captains and
    one to report back to the village.
**[17:03] ---**
    No…
**[17:05] ---**
    I also think we should stick together
    and work as one team.
**[17:09] ---**
    What? Shikamaru!
    What the hell are you—?!
**[17:12] ---**
    In the beginning, I agreed
**[17:14] ---**
    that we should break up
    into two groups.
**[17:16] ---**
    But a lot of time has passed.
**[17:19] ---**
    We should keep into account
    that the longer time passes,
**[17:22] ---**
    the less successful our chances of
    finding Asuma and the others will be.
**[17:25] ---**
    Put simply, we don't have the time
    to return to Hidden Leaf Village.
**[17:29] ---**
    Not to mention,
    if we fight all those puppets,
**[17:32] ---**
    we'll exhaust all our time.
**[17:40] ---**
    *Why did I think*
    *you would be like Itachi?*
**[17:44] ---**
    Well, Sasuke?
**[17:46] ---**
    Will you come with us?
**[17:50] ---**
    I'm not coming with you.
**[17:53] ---**
    I'll do things my way,
    on my own.
**[18:02] ---**
    We were able to gather
    the Leaf genin in one location…
**[18:06] ---**
    but things don't look so good.
**[18:08] ---**
    Are they arguing?
**[18:10] ---**
    Why?
**[18:12] ---**
    If they try to break through
    that barrier of puppets,
**[18:15] ---**
    it would mean they chose
    to stick to the rules
**[18:17] ---**
    and place priority on their mission.
**[18:21] ---**
    But…
**[18:22] ---**
    If they ignore the puppets
    to go find their comrades…
**[18:27] ---**
    it will mean that nothing
    could sway them and
**[18:29] ---**
    they made a choice of
    their own free will…
**[18:33] ---**
    out of a desire to save their friends.
**[18:36] ---**
    When they finally coalesce into
    a group of Hidden Leaf Shinobi,
**[18:42] ---**
    which option will they choose?
**[18:54] ---**
    What will they choose to do?
**[18:57] ---**
    That's when we'll see the true nature
    of these young shinobi.
**[19:08] ---**
    Understand?
**[19:09] ---**
    When the Eight Signed Sealing
    is weakened,
**[19:12] ---**
    I don't even know
    what will happen!
**[19:15] ---**
    All right.
**[19:16] ---**
    But if worse comes to worst…
**[19:17] ---**
    I, Jiraiya, one of
    the Legendary Sannin will stop it.
**[19:21] ---**
    I'll leave it to you!
**[19:41] ---**
    Three tails in no time!
**[19:44] ---**
    Naruto! Hold back your chakra
    right there!
**[19:47] ---**
    What?
**[20:05] ---**
    The seal that keeps me
    bound is weakening!
**[20:10] ---**
    Hey, demon-fox!
**[20:12] ---**
    Lend me your power!
**[20:24] ---**
    Strengthen your resolve!
**[20:26] ---**
    Use your will to control
    the Nine Tails' Chakra!
**[20:50] ---**
    *A fourth tail?!*
**[20:52] ---**
    *I guess it was still too soon*
    *for Naruto*
**[20:54] ---**
    *to be able to control*
    *the Nine Tails' Chakra…*
**[22:37] ---**
    One of your apprentices
    will prevent
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    a great catastrophe
    in the Ninja World.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    But if they go down
    the wrong path,
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    they will bring about great ruin.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    You said,
    one of my apprentices?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Child of Prophecy."
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Impossible. To think the one who might
    bring about great ruin is—?!

**[00:31] ---**
    What?
    What happened?!
**[00:34] ---**
    Please wait a minute.
**[00:36] ---**
    I'll replace it right now.
**[00:49] ---**
    Thanks.
**[00:50] ---**
    Lady Tsunade,
    are you going to stay here?
**[00:52] ---**
    Yes, just a little longer.
**[00:54] ---**
    It's not good for your health,
    so please don't overdo it.
**[00:59] ---**
    I know…
**[01:06] ---**
    *Lord Jiraiya put his heart*
    *and soul into this work…*
**[01:09] ---**
    *I don't blame her for*
    *getting so absorbed in it.*
**[03:01] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *The Child of Prophecy*
    
    
    
    *Hmm... A fourth tail?!*
**[03:04] ---**
    *I guess it was still too soon*
**[03:06] ---**
    *for Naruto to be able to control*
    *the Nine Tails' Chakra…*
**[03:14] ---**
    SUPPRESS
    
    *I have no choice but to lock*
    *the Eight Signed Seal once more.*
**[03:26] ---**
    Naruto…
**[03:28] ---**
    Stay quiet just for a little while.
**[03:36] ---**
    Art of the Raging Lion's Mane!
**[04:01] ---**
    SUPPRESS
**[04:11] ---**
    I think I broke a few ribs.
**[04:16] ---**
    Summoning:
    Bring Down the House Jutsu!
**[04:48] ---**
    Earth Style: The Dark Swamp!
**[05:03] ---**
    Naruto! Take back your self!
**[05:22] ---**
    *Naruto!*
**[05:30] ---**
    SAGE
**[05:33] ---**
    Jiraiya-boy.
**[05:35] ---**
    The Great Lord Elder
    had a dream about you.
**[05:39] ---**
    As you know, it is a prophecy.
**[05:43] ---**
    Listen closely.
**[05:45] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[05:47] ---**
    I shall now tell you…
**[05:49] ---**
    In my dream,
    you, who are solely pervy,
**[05:51] ---**
    will still manage to become
    a splendid shinobi.
**[05:54] ---**
    And in time,
    you will have your own disciples…
**[06:00] ---**
    *"Solely pervey"?*
**[06:02] ---**
    *I can't believe he just*
    *remembers that particular detail…*
**[06:06] ---**
    One such disciple will come to
    possess a great power.
**[06:10] ---**
    Depending on how you guide him,
**[06:12] ---**
    the future of the Shinobi World
    will undergo a great change.
**[06:17] ---**
    I'm going to guide him?
**[06:20] ---**
    Furthermore,
    it is your disciple
**[06:23] ---**
    who will influence the future of
    the Shinobi World greatly.
**[06:27] ---**
    My disciple is?
**[06:30] ---**
    Yes…
**[06:32] ---**
    The future of the Shinobi World will
    be wrought with many calamities.
**[06:37] ---**
    And one of your disciples
**[06:39] ---**
    will be the one who will
    cast away those calamities.
**[06:43] ---**
    However…
**[06:46] ---**
    If they are guided
    in the right direction,
**[06:48] ---**
    the world will change for the good.
**[06:50] ---**
    If they are guided
    in the wrong direction,
**[06:52] ---**
    they will bring about great ruin.
**[06:54] ---**
    You are the one who will
    guide the Child of Prophecy
**[07:00] ---**
    in the right direction.
**[07:03] ---**
    *The Child of Prophecy?*
**[07:13] ---**
    *Impossible…*
**[07:15] ---**
    *To think the one who might*
    *bring about great ruin is—?!*
**[07:25] ---**
    Do you all plan on ignoring
    the rules of the village?
**[07:29] ---**
    Yeah.
**[07:30] ---**
    We can't return to the village
**[07:31] ---**
    when our friends are
    being held captive.
**[07:35] ---**
    We all agree on that.
**[07:41] ---**
    Why did I think
    you would be like Itachi?
**[07:47] ---**
    Perhaps it's still too soon for you.
**[08:00] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[08:04] ---**
    Itachi was able to perfectly master it
    when he was about your age.
**[08:12] ---**
    And currently, Itachi has been
    appointed to the ANBU,
**[08:14] ---**
    under Lord Hokage's
    direct supervision.
**[08:17] ---**
    The Leaf Police Force upholds
    the laws of the village…
**[08:21] ---**
    and I was hoping to fill the void
    left by Itachi's transfer…
**[08:27] ---**
    Focus!
**[08:35] ---**
    *I won't lose to Big Brother!*
**[08:37] ---**
    *To honor the rules,*
    *I'll destroy the puppets!*
**[08:48] ---**
    I see… A smokescreen…
**[08:52] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[08:56] ---**
    He created a blind spot
    for the puppet user!
**[08:58] ---**
    That was so reckless!
**[09:00] ---**
    Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
**[09:13] ---**
    *So I guess it won't be that easy…*
**[09:37] ---**
    Even if our goals differ,
    we can't ignore our friends!
**[09:48] ---**
    Everyone, follow Lee!
**[09:58] ---**
    Human Boulder!
    Roll! Roll! Roll!
**[10:05] ---**
    Cha!
**[10:08] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[10:24] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[10:25] ---**
    I hope you didn't charge at
    the puppets by yourself,
**[10:28] ---**
    because you knew full well that
    we don't leave our friends behind…
**[10:45] ---**
    They attacked the puppets…
**[10:49] ---**
    Do they intend on
    bringing down the puppets,
**[10:51] ---**
    and then return to Leaf Village?
**[10:54] ---**
    Did they choose the rules
    over their friends?
**[11:12] ---**
    Even the young ones cannot
    break free of the curse of rules.
**[11:18] ---**
    After all, a caged bird is a caged bird.
**[11:21] ---**
    They don't know how to fly freely
    through the heavens.
**[11:25] ---**
    Has your Byakugan become cloudy?
**[11:28] ---**
    What?!
**[11:30] ---**
    They're not fighting because
    they want to honor the rules…
**[11:32] ---**
    They're fighting for their friend.
**[11:35] ---**
    They're not bound by the rules…
**[11:37] ---**
    By their own will, they're fighting
    to save their friend.
**[12:01] ---**
    I guess this is far enough.
**[12:03] ---**
    They've already decided.
**[12:10] ---**
    It's pretty obvious…
**[12:12] ---**
    There's no future for shinobi.
**[12:15] ---**
    There is only…hell.
**[12:18] ---**
    Let me show you an artistic
    and eternal hell!
**[12:23] ---**
    Damn it! He had spare puppets!
**[12:49] ---**
    You said there are three steps
    in the training…right, Dad?
**[12:52] ---**
    You've only taught me two.
**[12:56] ---**
    That's right.
**[13:05] ---**
    Now then…
**[13:07] ---**
    This is an ordinary balloon.
**[13:10] ---**
    The first step is rotation.
**[13:12] ---**
    The second step is force.
**[13:14] ---**
    I'm able to do up to there.
**[13:17] ---**
    And the third step is…
**[13:19] ---**
    The one in my right palm
    looks like an ordinary balloon, right?
**[13:23] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[13:25] ---**
    If you reproduce the contents of
    the balloon with your right hand…
**[13:34] ---**
    Amazing!
**[13:35] ---**
    Massive chakra revolves erratically…
    and it goes faster and faster…
**[13:38] ---**
    But the balloon remains
    perfectly round.
**[13:41] ---**
    Namely, the chakra in the second step
    which was infused with force,
**[13:45] ---**
    is fixed inside the balloon.
**[13:47] ---**
    "Fixed"?
**[13:49] ---**
    As you put force into the chakra,
    you compress it and fix it.
**[13:52] ---**
    Huh?!
**[13:54] ---**
    It's hard enough making it turn and
    adding force with both hands!
**[13:57] ---**
    You can increase it even more?!
**[14:01] ---**
    I guess you could use all
    the extra help you can get!
**[14:04] ---**
    But if you can do this…
**[14:19] ---**
    Whoa! Awesome!
**[14:22] ---**
    This Rasengan is
    a super high-level ninjutsu.
**[14:25] ---**
    Only two shinobi can do this:
    Jiraiya Sensei and I.
**[14:29] ---**
    Do you think I'll be able to do it too?
**[14:32] ---**
    Yeah! I'm sure you will!
**[14:41] ---**
    *Oh yeah…*
    *"all the extra help, I can get."*
**[14:47] ---**
    Damn it!
**[14:49] ---**
    What's going on?
**[14:51] ---**
    There's no end to this in sight!
**[14:59] ---**
    Sakura!
**[15:01] ---**
    *Wait!*
**[15:02] ---**
    *I'm coming to save you!*
**[15:10] ---**
    Naruto?!
**[15:30] ---**
    Pervy Sage?!
**[15:33] ---**
    You're back.
**[15:37] ---**
    How did you get hurt?!
**[15:40] ---**
    It's nothing, don't worry.
**[15:42] ---**
    But I can't move,
    so I'm going back for now.
**[15:47] ---**
    So you'd better get back
    to the others.
**[15:51] ---**
    Reverse Summoning Jutsu!
**[15:58] ---**
    What, what?!
**[16:05] ---**
    Ouch!
**[16:23] ---**
    This isn't good.
    At this rate, they'll be…
**[16:25] ---**
    – Wait!
    – But?!
**[16:27] ---**
    The way things are going,
    the Hidden Leaf shinobi are in danger.
**[16:31] ---**
    No…
    I sense massive chakra…
**[16:41] ---**
    Why did this turn into such a drag?
    I'm such an idiot!
**[16:46] ---**
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[16:52] ---**
    Rotation! Force!
**[16:54] ---**
    And with some "extra help,"
    I can fix it!
**[16:59] ---**
    What is that?!
**[17:01] ---**
    Look at the chakra!
**[17:03] ---**
    That jutsu…
    It's the Rasengan!
**[17:07] ---**
    Impossible!
    That's because that jutsu is…
**[17:11] ---**
    Naruto's amazing!
**[17:16] ---**
    Naruto!
**[17:25] ---**
    Here I go!
**[17:27] ---**
    Rasengan!
**[17:45] ---**
    What?!
**[17:50] ---**
    Next one…
    Let's go!
**[17:53] ---**
    Here we go!
**[17:56] ---**
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[18:11] ---**
    Naruto?!
**[18:35] ---**
    Damn you…
    You ruined my art!
**[18:41] ---**
    Are you the Puppet User?!
**[18:58] ---**
    Damn it!
**[19:04] ---**
    He got away…
**[19:07] ---**
    That was amazing, Naruto!
**[19:09] ---**
    Taking down all those puppets,
    by yourself.
**[19:13] ---**
    I think I might have
    underestimated you all this time.
**[19:17] ---**
    Yeah!
    You were hiding some amazing power!
**[19:20] ---**
    That power has to be acknowledged.
**[19:23] ---**
    That's because, everyone had
    a tough time with the enemy,
**[19:25] ---**
    but you came and
    took them down by yourself.
**[19:28] ---**
    As one would expect of Naruto!
**[19:31] ---**
    I was totally surprised!
**[19:33] ---**
    They say skilled hawks
    hide their talons…
**[19:36] ---**
    I hate to admit it,
**[19:37] ---**
    but this is the one time
    I have to acknowledge him.
**[19:43] ---**
    But the way, Naruto…
**[19:45] ---**
    We're going to save our friends.
**[19:47] ---**
    It will mean disobeying
    the rules of the village…
**[19:50] ---**
    But that's what we all want.
**[19:52] ---**
    Yeah…Of course,
    I feel the same way.
**[19:57] ---**
    What will you do, Sasuke?!
**[19:58] ---**
    With this much fighting strength,
**[20:00] ---**
    you can't say rescuing
    our friends is impossible.
**[20:05] ---**
    Sasuke, come with us!
**[20:09] ---**
    Whatever.
**[20:10] ---**
    All right! It's decided!
**[20:12] ---**
    Everyone, you heard it!
    We've joined up.
**[20:16] ---**
    We're going to rescue Asuma and…
**[20:17] ---**
    no, we're going to find our friends
    and rescue them!
**[20:19] ---**
    – All right!
    – All right!
**[20:36] ---**
    Has your so-called test
    produced a result?
**[20:40] ---**
    I believe it's already been proven that
    they consider the bonds of friendship
**[20:43] ---**
    more important than
    the rules of the village.
**[20:51] ---**
    So there's no need to
    continue this test.
**[20:54] ---**
    You will release all the Hidden Leaf
    Shinobi you've abducted, right?
**[20:59] ---**
    Father?
**[22:38] ---**
    Who are you?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    We are not your enemies.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    First of all, we have to show you
    a sign of mutual trust.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    We apologize for
    getting you involved
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    in the test that
    our employer devised!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    The test is over.
    We'll release your friends.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Are you telling the truth?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**

**[01:04] ---**
    How thoughtful of you!
**[01:11] ---**
    Here you go.

    Whoa…

**[03:11] ---**
    Where are you keeping everyone?
**[03:14] ---**
    I trust they're safe…
**[03:15] ---**
    Of course.
**[03:16] ---**
    I'll have the three lead you
    to them immediately.
**[03:18] ---**
    You can go and gather everyone.
**[03:22] ---**
    All right.
**[03:26] ---**
    I have to tie up some loose ends,
    I'll join you afterwards.
**[03:36] ---**
    You got that, everyone?
**[03:38] ---**
    We're joining up as one team
**[03:40] ---**
    to look for Asuma, I mean our friends,
    and rescue them!
**[03:44] ---**
    Right!
**[03:45] ---**
    All right, let's get going!
**[03:47] ---**
    Hold it, Naruto.
**[03:49] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:50] ---**
    You're the one who said
    we're going to rescue our friends!
**[03:53] ---**
    Yeah, I did.
**[03:54] ---**
    But we don't even know
    where they are.
**[03:57] ---**
    Not even one clue…
**[03:59] ---**
    Unless, Naruto,
    you have intel that we don't.
**[04:03] ---**
    Yeah, yeah!
**[04:04] ---**
    You think I'd have
    that kind of intel?
**[04:07] ---**
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
**[04:11] ---**
    Your fighting skills
    may've improved slightly,
**[04:13] ---**
    but your brain's still the same.
**[04:14] ---**
    What?!
**[04:16] ---**
    Hey! Stop fighting!
**[04:18] ---**
    I guess that's
    the Tracking Team's cue…
**[04:22] ---**
    I don't think you'll be needed…
**[04:24] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:29] ---**
    Neji, I'm glad you're safe.
**[04:32] ---**
    Sorry to have worried you.
**[04:33] ---**
    What happened to the enemy?
**[04:35] ---**
    – Did you bring him down?
    – No.
**[04:37] ---**
    You let him get away?
**[04:39] ---**
    No, that's not it, but…
**[04:40] ---**
    Then what happened?
**[04:42] ---**
    Naruto!
    Give Neji a chance to speak.
**[04:47] ---**
    Damn it.
**[04:48] ---**
    Oh, okay…
**[04:50] ---**
    So? What's going on, Neji?
**[05:01] ---**
    Finally, we're up.
**[05:03] ---**
    I've been bored to death.
**[05:07] ---**
    The test is over.
**[05:09] ---**
    So I'm dismissing the mercenaries.
**[05:12] ---**
    You can't do that.
**[05:15] ---**
    Take a look.
**[05:16] ---**
    My art has been damaged and
    you expect me to just leave?
**[05:21] ---**
    Everything is complete.
**[05:23] ---**
    I was able to verify the truth.
    You're dismissed.
**[05:28] ---**
    Huh? Hey wait, partner!
**[05:30] ---**
    The job's complete.
**[05:32] ---**
    Once we get paid, we're done.
**[05:35] ---**
    Guess it can't be helped.
**[05:37] ---**
    Huh?! Huh?!
**[05:38] ---**
    H-Hey! Wait a second!
**[05:43] ---**
    I'd like you to tie up
    some loose ends.
**[05:46] ---**
    "Loose ends" you say?
**[05:48] ---**
    Help the evacuated villagers
    return to their homes.
**[05:52] ---**
    We'll be happy to do that.
**[05:54] ---**
    And there's one more thing
    I'd like to request…
**[06:01] ---**
    Anyway, that's it.
**[06:03] ---**
    So you're saying everything
    that happened
**[06:05] ---**
    was just an experiment
    by this masked man?
**[06:08] ---**
    Hold on!
**[06:10] ---**
    Guy Sensei and the others
    are safe?
**[06:12] ---**
    Yeah. He promised he'd free
    all the hostages and lead us to them.
**[06:18] ---**
    "Lead us to them"?
**[06:19] ---**
    What does that mean?
**[06:24] ---**
    Who the hell are you guys?!
**[06:26] ---**
    We're not your enemy.
**[06:29] ---**
    First of all, we want to show you
    a sign of mutual trust.
**[06:32] ---**
    We apologize for getting you
    involved in our employer's test.
**[06:36] ---**
    The test is over.
**[06:38] ---**
    Your friends will be freed.
**[06:41] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[06:43] ---**
    We are Hidden Rain Shinobi.
**[06:46] ---**
    We travel around the land
    in search of those
**[06:48] ---**
    who share our vision for
    the future of the shinobi world.
**[06:51] ---**
    We're Team Jiraiya.
**[06:53] ---**
    Team Jiraiya?!
**[06:55] ---**
    You guys know Pervy Sage?
**[06:58] ---**
    Yes. He saved our lives and
    he was our ninjutsu master.
**[07:03] ---**
    I get it now.
**[07:04] ---**
    When we were attacked,
    I didn't sense any malice.
**[07:07] ---**
    Because it was just a test.
**[07:09] ---**
    So, did we pass the test?
**[07:14] ---**
    I believe so.
**[07:15] ---**
    That's why we're telling you
    where your friends are.
**[07:19] ---**
    Konan.
**[07:32] ---**
    Shinobi Ageha Butterflies…
**[07:34] ---**
    The butterflies will guide you
    to your friends.
**[07:38] ---**
    We must go return
    the villagers to their homes.
**[07:42] ---**
    So we'll be leaving.
**[07:45] ---**
    Hold it.
**[07:49] ---**
    Damn it! I wanted to hear more
    about Pervy Sage.
**[07:55] ---**
    So we just follow…them?
**[08:01] ---**
    Neji…
**[08:21] ---**
    Shinobi Ageha Butterflies…
**[08:23] ---**
    They're over there!
**[08:24] ---**
    That structure, huh?
**[08:28] ---**
    All right!
    Let's go save everyone!
**[08:30] ---**
    Wait! There could be traps—
**[08:35] ---**
    He's not even listening.
**[08:36] ---**
    Damn it.
**[08:39] ---**
    Everyone!
**[08:43] ---**
    This is embarrassing.
**[08:45] ---**
    Guy Sensei,
    I'm so glad you're okay.
**[08:48] ---**
    Oh! I'm super-overcome
    with emotion!
**[08:52] ---**
    To be rescued by my pupil
    is more than I ever deserve…
**[08:58] ---**
    Ouch!
**[09:00] ---**
    Can you be a little gentler?
**[09:03] ---**
    But it's just a scratch.
**[09:04] ---**
    Asuma…
**[09:05] ---**
    Are you hurt anywhere?
**[09:08] ---**
    No…
**[09:09] ---**
    Sorry we made you worry.
**[09:12] ---**
    I'm so relieved.
**[09:14] ---**
    Anyway, what was this incident
    all about anyway?
**[09:18] ---**
    Are you guys able
    to explain it to us?
**[09:21] ---**
    Y-Yeah.
**[09:22] ---**
    Allow me to me explain.
**[09:40] ---**
    Wait.
**[09:41] ---**
    He's no longer our enemy!
    It's all right.
**[09:49] ---**
    Okay, then.
**[10:02] ---**
    No way…You're—!
**[10:19] ---**
    You're…Hizashi Hyuga…
**[10:23] ---**
    Impossible…
**[10:25] ---**
    You're supposed to have died
    when I was three years old…
**[10:29] ---**
    What?
**[10:30] ---**
    Well, let me explain that part.
**[10:32] ---**
    Neji…
**[10:35] ---**
    When Lady Hinata
    was three years old,
**[10:37] ---**
    a major crisis hit
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[10:40] ---**
    Shinobi from the Hidden Cloud
    attempted to kidnap you…
**[10:43] ---**
    but Lord Hiashi killed them.
**[10:47] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud was at fault.
**[10:49] ---**
    Naturally, relations became strained
    and the threat of war loomed.
**[10:54] ---**
    In order to prevent fighting,
**[10:56] ---**
    the Hidden Leaf secretly negotiated
    with the Hidden Cloud
**[10:58] ---**
    and accepted their conditions.
**[11:00] ---**
    Rather, they had no choice
    but to accept.
**[11:03] ---**
    What was the condition?
**[11:06] ---**
    The head of the Hyuga who possessed
    the Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan.
**[11:10] ---**
    In other words, they demanded
    the Leaf hand over
**[11:13] ---**
    the corpse of Lady Hinata's father,
    Hiashi Hyuga.
**[11:16] ---**
    And so,
    Hiashi Hyuga's younger twin,
**[11:20] ---**
    my father Hizashi Hyuga
    became his stand-in…
**[11:24] ---**
    and peace in the village
    was maintained.
**[11:28] ---**
    As for my father's decision and
    the circumstances behind that,
**[11:30] ---**
    you saw it for yourself, Naruto.
**[11:35] ---**
    The terrible system
    of the Curse Mark
**[11:37] ---**
    that's been passed down within the Hyuga
    to protect the Main Family.
**[11:41] ---**
    We are alive, but are unable to
    change the currents of fate.
**[11:45] ---**
    What you saw was my father,
    who by his own will,
**[11:48] ---**
    chose to defy his fate.
**[11:51] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[11:53] ---**
    This has caused everyone
    much stress.
**[11:56] ---**
    You're supposed to be dead,
    so how—?
**[12:00] ---**
    At first,
    I didn't understand either.
**[12:03] ---**
    But after a long slumber,
    I awakened…
**[12:05] ---**
    …and found myself within
    a certain man's hideout.
**[12:09] ---**
    *You have been revived*
    *thanks to my Reanimation Jutsu.*
**[12:15] ---**
    *But it was also because your heart*
    *still had attachments to this world.*
**[12:21] ---**
    *I have no attachments.*
    *I wanted to die…*
**[12:23] ---**
    *…for the sake of the clan.*
**[12:25] ---**
    *It was your wish to*
    *give up your life, you say?*
**[12:29] ---**
    *But if your death was in vain…*
**[12:36] ---**
    Perhaps that man was right.
**[12:38] ---**
    I did feel that way at the time.
**[12:42] ---**
    That is why I planned
    this incident.
**[12:46] ---**
    I hoped that my death
    was not in vain…
**[12:49] ---**
    That my death would
    provide the impetus…
**[12:51] ---**
    for the Hidden Leaf Village
    to rethink
**[12:53] ---**
    the cruel rules and destinies
    which took away my life…
**[12:58] ---**
    Well, all that doesn't
    matter anymore.
**[13:01] ---**
    I'm a man who should
    not exist in this world.
**[13:04] ---**
    However, it seems I cannot
    undo this jutsu myself.
**[13:09] ---**
    I want you to return to the village and
    look into how to release this jutsu.
**[13:13] ---**
    But before that…
**[13:15] ---**
    I would like to speak
    with my son Neji, alone.
**[13:38] ---**
    Neji, do you remember that day?
**[13:46] ---**
    *Neji… You must survive.*
**[13:49] ---**
    *You have been blessed with*
    *the gifts of the Hyuga,*
**[13:51] ---**
    *more so than anyone else*
    *in the clan.*
**[13:55] ---**
    *How I wish you had been*
    *born into the main family.*
**[14:01] ---**
    Although it was to protect
    the village, our clan, and you,
**[14:04] ---**
    the result of defying
    the fate of the Hyuga,
**[14:07] ---**
    has brought you nothing
    but sadness.
**[14:11] ---**
    On top of that,
    I was worried about your future,
**[14:14] ---**
    tied as it was to
    the Hyuga's destiny.
**[14:17] ---**
    Yes.
**[14:18] ---**
    It was only natural,
    having lost you,
**[14:21] ---**
    I used that as motivation
    to live every day
**[14:23] ---**
    resenting and cursing
    my destiny as a Hyuga.
**[14:33] ---**
    But meeting a certain genin
    changed my way of thinking.
**[14:46] ---**
    *I'm destined to bear the burden*
    *of a mark I can never remove…*
**[14:50] ---**
    *How can you possibly*
    *even understand?!*
**[14:53] ---**
    *I do understand.*
**[14:57] ---**
    *And, so what of it?*
**[15:02] ---**
    *Quit trying to show off.*
**[15:05] ---**
    *You're not the only one*
    *who's special.*
**[15:08] ---**
    *Everyone is desperate to*
    *defy their own destiny.*
**[15:13] ---**
    *You're no different.*
**[15:18] ---**
    *I'm definitely gonna bring you down*
    *and prove it to you!*
**[15:23] ---**
    *The Hyuga destiny of whatever*
    *that you despise…*
**[15:26] ---**
    *If it's too much for you,*
**[15:29] ---**
    *then forget about it and*
    *don't do anything.*
**[15:32] ---**
    *When I become the Hokage…*
**[15:37] ---**
    *I'll change…the Hyuga!*
**[15:43] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki taught me.
**[15:47] ---**
    That even a caged bird,
    if it's smart enough,
**[15:49] ---**
    will use its beak
    to open the latch…
**[15:51] ---**
    Because it wants to fly
    free across the sky.
**[15:55] ---**
    In any case, maybe I'll end up
    in the same place.
**[15:59] ---**
    But when people have a choice,
**[16:02] ---**
    they can strive hard towards
    their goal in life.
**[16:05] ---**
    And, for someone to have that,
    means they are truly strong.
**[16:10] ---**
    And Father…
**[16:13] ---**
    I have just one goal.
**[16:16] ---**
    To become stronger.
**[16:18] ---**
    To become someone who
    cannot be defeated.
**[16:20] ---**
    That's how I feel right now.
**[16:26] ---**
    You've made a wonderful friend…
**[16:29] ---**
    Neji.
**[16:31] ---**
    Although right now, he's a rival…
**[16:39] ---**
    Father!
**[16:46] ---**
    Seems like we don't need to find
    a way to release the jutsu.
**[16:50] ---**
    Yeah.
**[17:00] ---**
    You've grown up well.
**[17:06] ---**
    Father!
**[17:21] ---**
    Father…
**[17:45] ---**
    Guy…
**[17:47] ---**
    It seems Hizashi's greatest regret
**[17:50] ---**
    was not being able to
    guide you into adulthood.
**[18:11] ---**
    Yes.
**[18:22] ---**
    I'm glad the villagers are back home
    and peace has returned to this village.
**[18:28] ---**
    Yes. So what do we do now?
**[18:31] ---**
    Are you thinking of joining up
    with the Hidden Leaf Genin?
**[18:34] ---**
    Yeah…
**[18:35] ---**
    Although we're from different villages,
    I feel like we can call them comrades.
**[18:39] ---**
    Perhaps the day will come
    when we'll team up with them.
**[18:46] ---**
    Nagato, what's that?
**[18:48] ---**
    Doesn't it belong
    to those children?
**[18:50] ---**
    I found it on the road
    to the village.
**[18:52] ---**
    It was chaotic,
    with everyone trying to get home,
**[18:54] ---**
    and they probably dropped it.
**[18:57] ---**
    They're probably making a big fuss
    about their missing stuffed animal.
**[19:01] ---**
    All right,
    I'll go return it to them.
**[19:04] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[19:05] ---**
    I'll be right back. Wait here.
**[19:15] ---**
    All right!
**[19:16] ---**
    Let's hurry home,
    so I can report to Dad.
**[19:19] ---**
    All right then Naruto,
    let's race back to the village.
**[19:23] ---**
    I won't lose!
**[19:24] ---**
    Neither will I!
**[19:25] ---**
    I said I'm not gonna lose!
**[19:27] ---**
    Same here!
**[19:28] ---**
    Me too!
**[19:29] ---**
    Me!
**[19:31] ---**
    Where does all that
    energy come from?
**[19:32] ---**
    Really…
**[19:33] ---**
    Hey, wait.
**[19:36] ---**
    My body's still not…
**[19:38] ---**
    W-Why don't we rest a bit?
**[19:43] ---**
    Oh boy…
**[20:02] ---**
    What? What is going on?
**[20:13] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[20:36] ---**
    Nagato…
**[22:38] ---**
    Damn it, Jiraiya!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Why did he write something that
    leaves such a bad aftertaste?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    I need to know how
    the story continues…
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    I thought you might like
    a little something for tea…
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Perhaps this was a bad time?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    No, not at all!
    I was feeling a little hungry…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    "Returning Home."

    All right, the continuation!

**[00:04] ---**
    What a nice day…
**[00:06] ---**
    But…
**[00:08] ---**
    Damn that Jiraiya!
**[00:10] ---**
    Why'd he write a story with
    such a bad ending?
**[00:13] ---**
    I need to know how
    the story continues…
**[00:16] ---**
    Oh…
**[00:17] ---**
    I thought you might like
    a little something for tea…
**[00:19] ---**
    Perhaps this was a bad time?
**[00:21] ---**
    No, not at all!
**[00:23] ---**
    I was feeling a little hungry…
**[00:25] ---**
    Oh good. Please eat.
**[00:27] ---**
    These are mugwort dumplings
    from Amaguriama.
**[00:35] ---**
    There's nothing like something sweet
    to wake up a tired mind!
**[00:43] ---**
    Okay, continuing on.
**[00:45] ---**
    PART TWO
    
**[00:54] ---**
    Thanks to your efforts,
    the mission was successful.
**[00:58] ---**
    Good job!
**[01:00] ---**
    Is what I'd like to say…
**[01:02] ---**
    But that's not quite
    the case, is it?
**[01:08] ---**
    I'm very sorry.
**[01:10] ---**
    I'm the one
    who disobeyed orders first.
**[01:13] ---**
    Please punish me
    as you see fit.
**[01:14] ---**
    Neji, you aren't the only one at fault.
**[01:16] ---**
    He's right!
**[01:18] ---**
    If you put it like that,
    I was the first…
**[01:20] ---**
    But…we had no choice at the time.
**[01:24] ---**
    But breaking the rules
    is breaking the rules.
**[01:27] ---**
    But–!
**[01:28] ---**
    Hey, this isn't the place to argue.
**[01:31] ---**
    There's no doubt they may
    have acted carelessly.
**[01:35] ---**
    But their cleverness saved us.
    That's a fact.
**[01:40] ---**
    Please go easy on them.
**[01:46] ---**
    Well, since you put it like that…
**[01:49] ---**
    Disobeying orders cannot
    be overlooked.
**[01:52] ---**
    But there are special circumstances
    in all missions.
**[01:56] ---**
    Decisions must be made depending
    on the situation at hand,
**[01:58] ---**
    and you must make
    the best possible choice.
**[02:01] ---**
    In this case,
**[02:03] ---**
    everyone joined together to
    make the mission a success.
**[02:08] ---**
    That has to be factored
    into the evaluation.
**[02:12] ---**
    Lord Fourth, does that mean…?
**[02:14] ---**
    That no one is at fault…
    I suppose.
**[02:19] ---**
    Yes!
**[02:21] ---**
    Way to go!
**[03:58] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *Returning Home.*
    
    
    
**[04:03] ---**
    I thought he was gonna
    give it to us!
**[04:06] ---**
    I guess Lord Hokage has
    a soft spot for family members.
**[04:09] ---**
    Are you still stuck on that?
**[04:12] ---**
    I still don't acknowledge you.
**[04:14] ---**
    Let it go already.
**[04:15] ---**
    We got off easy and it's over.
**[04:18] ---**
    Still, Naruto, you were amazing.
**[04:21] ---**
    Yeah, I see you in
    a different light now.
**[04:24] ---**
    Yes, you really trained hard, Naruto.
**[04:29] ---**
    Well, yeah, I guess.
**[04:31] ---**
    Anyway, let's go get something
    to eat and talk about it!
**[04:34] ---**
    So ridiculous.
**[04:36] ---**
    Hey, are you leaving?
**[04:39] ---**
    Oh, just let him go.
**[04:40] ---**
    It's barbecue time!
**[04:42] ---**
    What is with that guy?
**[04:48] ---**
    LEAF HOSPITAL
    
    I said no visitors!
    And you push your way in.
**[04:53] ---**
    You always overreact.
**[04:56] ---**
    The situation is under control.
**[04:58] ---**
    Still, I'm just worried.
**[05:01] ---**
    I'm sorry. My son is to blame.
**[05:04] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[05:07] ---**
    An injury like this is nothing.
**[05:10] ---**
    Even though he's still a bit clumsy,
**[05:13] ---**
    I can't believe how Naruto controlled
    the Nine Tails' Chakra…
**[05:18] ---**
    Perhaps he really is
    the "Child of Prophecy"
**[05:21] ---**
    that I've been searching for.
**[05:23] ---**
    You think he's that big of a deal?
**[05:28] ---**
    But we can't rest easy.
**[05:31] ---**
    There's still that one issue.
**[05:34] ---**
    Orochimaru…
**[05:37] ---**
    When I found his hideout…
**[05:49] ---**
    I found you, Orochimaru.
**[05:52] ---**
    I can't believe you would actually
    come all this way…
**[05:59] ---**
    Orochimaru, your appearance!
**[06:01] ---**
    What in the…?
**[06:03] ---**
    Oh this… I just obtained
    a new body.
**[06:07] ---**
    Don't tell me you hijacked
    someone else's body?
**[06:11] ---**
    My goal is for perpetual youth
    and longevity.
**[06:13] ---**
    To be young,
    strong and beautiful.
**[06:15] ---**
    It's what everyone yearns for.
**[06:18] ---**
    But this is just a temporary vessel.
**[06:21] ---**
    In three years,
**[06:22] ---**
    which is when I'll be able to
    use this jutsu again,
**[06:25] ---**
    I'll find a body
    that's even more beautiful.
**[06:28] ---**
    Not likely.
    Your scheme ends here!
**[06:32] ---**
    Earth Style! The Dark Swamp!
**[06:37] ---**
    Too bad, I've already seen
    through your tricks.
**[06:40] ---**
    What?
**[06:51] ---**
    He got away!
**[06:53] ---**
    I'm not giving up.
**[06:56] ---**
    If I look around, maybe I'll find
    some clues to his next move…
**[07:11] ---**
    This is–!
**[07:12] ---**
    I have to let Minato
    know right away.
**[07:15] ---**
    Damn it!
**[07:16] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[07:23] ---**
    From that scroll, there's no doubt
    that Orochimaru was involved
**[07:27] ---**
    in this recent incident…
**[07:30] ---**
    But we don't know what
    to expect out of this.
**[07:33] ---**
    In any case,
    we should be vigilant.
**[07:37] ---**
    Well then, I'd better do
    what I can on my side.
**[07:41] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[07:44] ---**
    Minato seems as busy as ever.
**[07:47] ---**
    Well, we can't say the Hidden Leaf Village
    is completely at peace.
**[07:51] ---**
    We were able to quell
    a coup d'état by the Uchiha,
**[07:55] ---**
    but we haven't gotten to
    the root of the problem yet.
**[07:58] ---**
    But Minato intends to use this
**[08:01] ---**
    as an opportunity to
    confront them directly.
**[08:04] ---**
    Oh?
**[08:23] ---**
    So disobeying orders got you
    involved in unnecessary trouble.
**[08:29] ---**
    Nearly everyone in
    the Uchiha Clan is
**[08:31] ---**
    a respected member of
    the Leaf Police Force.
**[08:34] ---**
    This sets a bad example.
**[08:36] ---**
    Well… There was someone
    who acted recklessly!
**[08:39] ---**
    Not being able to stop him
    shows your inability.
**[08:44] ---**
    Yes.
**[08:46] ---**
    You must be aware that this is
    a crucial time for the Uchiha.
**[08:50] ---**
    Your older brother would
    have done better.
**[08:55] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[08:58] ---**
    I'm back, Father.
**[09:00] ---**
    Oh, I've been waiting for you, Itachi.
**[09:03] ---**
    Did I interrupt?
**[09:05] ---**
    It's all right. Tell me what
    you have to report.
**[09:10] ---**
    I'll excuse myself.
**[09:17] ---**
    BARBE-Q
    
**[09:23] ---**
    Delish!
**[09:25] ---**
    There's nothing like barbecue
    after a mission.
**[09:27] ---**
    Damn Sasuke…
    Acting stuck up…
**[09:30] ---**
    Well, he could just be really busy…
**[09:34] ---**
    Damn it, we can't let
    Naruto show us up!
**[09:38] ---**
    Let's train hard from
    now on too, Akamaru.
**[09:43] ---**
    Still, this incident left
    a bad aftertaste, didn't it?
**[09:48] ---**
    Who would have thought
    it would end like that…
**[09:57] ---**
    I don't get them!
**[09:59] ---**
    Those guys said the stupid test
    was over…
**[10:01] ---**
    And that they needed to take
    the villagers back to their homes.
**[10:04] ---**
    I can't believe
    they blew up the entire village.
**[10:07] ---**
    The children we rescued
    were there too.
**[10:11] ---**
    Perhaps they were erasing evidence?
**[10:14] ---**
    If that's the case,
    they're horrible!
**[10:17] ---**
    They don't deserve to
    call themselves Team Jiraiya…
**[10:20] ---**
    If I see them again,
    they're gonna pay!
**[10:22] ---**
    That's right! We'll get them for sure!
**[10:25] ---**
    Right, Shikamaru?
**[10:27] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[10:36] ---**
    Father's right.
    If Naruto hadn't acted on his own…
**[10:45] ---**
    *Shiro…*
**[10:46] ---**
    *Come to think of it…*
**[10:48] ---**
    *He rescued you.*
**[10:53] ---**
    But it's different this time.
**[10:54] ---**
    We were in the middle of
    a mission.
**[11:01] ---**
    We were lucky it went well.
**[11:03] ---**
    But even still,
    everyone's too easy on the guy.
**[11:08] ---**
    Did Father lecture you again?
**[11:12] ---**
    Well, it's nothing new.
**[11:14] ---**
    I see.
**[11:16] ---**
    But think of it this way… It's because
    Father has high hopes for you.
**[11:20] ---**
    Also, our clan is in
    a precarious position right now.
**[11:25] ---**
    We attempted
    a dangerous coup d'état…
**[11:28] ---**
    and forced the Hokage
    to accept our conditions.
**[11:32] ---**
    We can't afford to give him
    any opportunity to reverse that.
**[11:36] ---**
    Ever since the rebellion
    by our ancestor Madara,
**[11:38] ---**
    this ability of ours has been feared,
**[11:40] ---**
    and we were banished far
    from the central government.
**[11:42] ---**
    In order to change our situation…
**[11:48] ---**
    But can we trust them to
    keep their promise?
**[11:51] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[11:53] ---**
    That's why I've been assigned
    to watch the Hokage.
**[11:56] ---**
    Big Brother…
**[11:58] ---**
    In time, you and I will be
    the ones to support the Uchiha Clan.
**[12:02] ---**
    In order to protect our future,
**[12:04] ---**
    I intend to find out what
    the Fourth is really thinking.
**[12:07] ---**
    So you have to hang in there too.
**[12:10] ---**
    *Big Brother is amazing!*
**[12:12] ---**
    *So I'm not about to let a guy*
    *like that outdo me either!*
**[12:25] ---**
    Teach me a new jutsu.
**[12:28] ---**
    What a surprise!
    It's rare to see you so eager.
**[12:32] ---**
    I need to get stronger.
**[12:34] ---**
    And I need to learn
    a definitive jutsu for that.
**[12:38] ---**
    Well then, I have just
    the perfect jutsu.
**[12:43] ---**
    When combined with
    the foresight of the Sharingan,
**[12:45] ---**
    it culminates into a penetrating
    technique of lightning speed.
**[12:50] ---**
    In other words,
    the Chidori, huh?
**[12:56] ---**
    Even though we just got back
    from a mission,
**[12:59] ---**
    Sasuke's really working hard!
**[13:00] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[13:02] ---**
    Not missing a moment to
    start training on a new jutsu
**[13:04] ---**
    is just Sasuke for you.
**[13:06] ---**
    You guys should be
    more like him!
**[13:08] ---**
    What a drag.
**[13:10] ---**
    Hey, is that true?
**[13:13] ---**
    Is Sasuke learning a new jutsu?
**[13:15] ---**
    Yeah.
**[13:16] ---**
    He's with Kakashi Sensei right now
    at the training grounds.
**[13:18] ---**
    Seriously?! Damn it!
**[13:20] ---**
    He's getting a leg-up on me!
**[13:22] ---**
    Hey, don't get all excited.
**[13:25] ---**
    After all, you just mastered
    an amazing jutsu yourself.
**[13:28] ---**
    Sorry, I'll see you guys later!
**[13:34] ---**
    I told them, no visitors!
**[13:37] ---**
    Come on…move over, will you?
**[13:40] ---**
    What's all the racket?
**[13:42] ---**
    I want you to train me, Pervy Sage!
**[13:46] ---**
    What brought this on
    all of a sudden?
**[13:50] ---**
    Whatever, okay.
**[13:51] ---**
    I have to take it easy
    for a while anyway.
**[13:53] ---**
    I'll watch over your training a little.
**[13:55] ---**
    – All right!
    – Jiraiya!
**[14:07] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke!
**[14:14] ---**
    What do you want?
**[14:15] ---**
    I came to tell you that
    I'm starting my training too!
**[14:19] ---**
    What?
**[14:20] ---**
    You're pretty dense, aren't you?
**[14:21] ---**
    I'm saying that you'll have
    to acknowledge me
**[14:24] ---**
    when I master a new jutsu
    before you do!
**[14:27] ---**
    How stupid.
**[14:28] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[14:29] ---**
    I don't consider you competition.
**[14:32] ---**
    I have much higher goals.
**[14:35] ---**
    I'll make you take back
    those words!
**[14:37] ---**
    I swear it!
**[14:39] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[14:41] ---**
    Sorry to interrupt!
**[14:45] ---**
    What's he so worked up about?
**[14:48] ---**
    I don't know.
**[14:49] ---**
    Anyway, let's continue.
**[14:55] ---**
    It's unlike you to pick a fight.
**[14:59] ---**
    Who cares?
**[15:00] ---**
    This gets me more fired up!
**[15:02] ---**
    So he's the kid you don't
    want to lose to?
**[15:08] ---**
    Just watch me, Sasuke!
**[15:11] ---**
    *I won't lose.*
**[15:14] ---**
    *And I'm going to get Father to*
    *acknowledge me as soon as possible!*
**[15:24] ---**
    Focus more!
**[15:26] ---**
    And pull out the Nine Tails
    chakra with authority!
**[15:37] ---**
    Did you hurt yourself?
**[15:39] ---**
    No, it's nothing.
**[15:41] ---**
    Let me continue.
**[15:47] ---**
    Sasuke's training looks terrifying.
**[15:51] ---**
    I'm kinda scared.
**[15:53] ---**
    Dummy! That's what makes it
    so cool!
**[15:56] ---**
    Those guys are such a drag.
**[16:07] ---**
    Is this the report on
    the Uchiha incident?
**[16:10] ---**
    I expected opposition
    from the advisors,
**[16:14] ---**
    but I didn't think there would be
    such an uproar from the other clans.
**[16:18] ---**
    Everyone is afraid.
**[16:20] ---**
    That clan has
    a history of betrayal,
**[16:22] ---**
    and they tend to keep
    to themselves.
**[16:25] ---**
    Coupled with their keen abilities,
    they just appear more suspicious.
**[16:31] ---**
    There are also
    the lingering suspicions
**[16:33] ---**
    surrounding the coup d'état
    we just prevented.
**[16:36] ---**
    But we can't go back on our promise.
**[16:39] ---**
    I know that.
**[16:41] ---**
    But the governing body can't ignore
**[16:44] ---**
    the voices of opposition
    when it's this strong.
**[16:47] ---**
    We'll just have to keep trying
    to persuade them.
**[16:50] ---**
    Anyway, so that's the gist of it.
**[16:52] ---**
    Can you give us
    a little more time?
**[16:58] ---**
    I beg your pardon…
    I overheard you.
**[17:01] ---**
    I'm sorry I wasn't able
    to accomplish much.
**[17:04] ---**
    No…
    I'm actually a bit surprised.
**[17:07] ---**
    I thought it was just
    an empty promise
**[17:10] ---**
    that you had no intention
    of keeping.
**[17:13] ---**
    You're not the type to be fooled
    by something like that.
**[17:16] ---**
    Besides, I want to prevent
    any calamity
**[17:20] ---**
    that falls within my range of power.
**[17:23] ---**
    When Master Jiraiya was
    on Mount Myoboku,
**[17:25] ---**
    he was given a prophecy.
**[17:27] ---**
    That the Shinobi World will
    be wrought with many calamities…
**[17:31] ---**
    And among Master Jiraiya's pupils
    is a "Child of Prophecy"
**[17:35] ---**
    who is destined
    to cast them away…
**[17:39] ---**
    in order to lead the world
    in a better direction.
**[17:42] ---**
    Does that refer to Naruto?
**[17:45] ---**
    I don't know.
    Sensei has many pupils.
**[17:49] ---**
    I'm also one of them.
**[17:52] ---**
    In any case, villages plagued
    with problems will be vulnerable.
**[17:58] ---**
    For my son and your younger brother…
    For the next generation…
**[18:03] ---**
    I want to leave them
    a peaceful village.
**[18:21] ---**
    It's taking shape considerably.
**[18:23] ---**
    It better be.
**[18:25] ---**
    I can't stop now.
**[18:27] ---**
    With the state you're in,
    we should call it a day.
**[18:30] ---**
    We can resume tomorrow.
**[18:43] ---**
    They're so carefree.
**[18:45] ---**
    Listen, Naruto.
**[18:48] ---**
    This Rasengan is merely
    the foundation.
**[18:56] ---**
    With further practice,
    it can evolve into new jutsu.
**[19:09] ---**
    Father…
**[19:11] ---**
    Oh, it was just you.
**[19:15] ---**
    I've been practicing a new jutsu.
**[19:17] ---**
    Is that so? Good for you.
**[19:28] ---**
    I guess he's not interested.
**[19:32] ---**
    *That's not it.*
**[19:33] ---**
    *At this level, my jutsu isn't*
    *worth the time for Father,*
**[19:37] ---**
    *who's responsible for*
    *the entire Uchiha Clan…*
**[19:48] ---**
    As expected…
**[19:50] ---**
    I'm amazed at how
    you picked it up so quickly.
**[19:53] ---**
    That's because I'm an Uchiha.
**[20:05] ---**
    *This jutsu can definitely compete*
    *with that one. But–!*
**[20:10] ---**
    However...
**[20:20] ---**
    *I will surpass him!*
**[20:23] ---**
    Kakashi, how far can I make
    this Chidori evolve?
**[20:29] ---**
    Normally, one would just be happy…
**[20:32] ---**
    But this is just so like you.
**[20:35] ---**
    So, what's the answer?
**[20:37] ---**
    Frankly, the Lightning Style consumes
    an enormous amount of chakra.
**[20:41] ---**
    For someone like me who
    doesn't have lots of chakra,
**[20:43] ---**
    this is the limit.
**[20:45] ---**
    So it's impossible?
**[20:47] ---**
    I didn't say that.
**[20:48] ---**
    But taking it any further will
    be extremely difficult.
**[22:36] ---**
    I brought some refreshments!
    Let's have some together.
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    You're being a nuisance!
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    What are you doing?
    Apologize to Sakura, now!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Don't order me around.
    A loser has no right to talk…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    I'm not a loser!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    I've already caught up to you!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Us? Equals?
    Impossible.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Mutual Path."
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Do you wanna put that
    to a test right now?

**[01:42] ---**
    *I'll soon reach the limit*
    *of the Chidori's destructive power.*
**[01:45] ---**
    *I just need to make it*
    *evolve nicely…*
**[01:48] ---**
    *But how?*

    *What's the use if I can't*
    *even ask him for advice?*
**[02:00] ---**
    *I've made up my mind*
    *to surpass him.*
**[02:07] ---**
    Father, do you have some time?
**[02:09] ---**
    I'm busy right now.
    Come back later.
**[02:16] ---**
    Big Brother…
**[02:18] ---**
    Join us. I have something
    important to discuss.
**[02:28] ---**
    And have you made up
    your mind?
**[02:32] ---**
    Yes, Father.
**[02:34] ---**
    It's what I've decided
**[02:36] ---**
    after working closely
    with Lord Fourth.
**[02:38] ---**
    It seems he is serious about
**[02:40] ---**
    changing the way
    the Uchiha are treated.
**[02:44] ---**
    I want to believe him.
**[02:46] ---**
    I see.
**[02:47] ---**
    However…
**[02:48] ---**
    That means that
    we must change too.
**[02:52] ---**
    We've put too much distance
    between everyone else and us.
**[02:56] ---**
    That has become an obstacle
    to a settlement.
**[03:00] ---**
    And?
**[03:01] ---**
    What are your thoughts?
**[03:04] ---**
    We have to show them
    that we have no ill will.
**[03:08] ---**
    As a clan who is
    part of this village,
**[03:10] ---**
    we must pledge loyalty
    to Lord Fourth
**[03:13] ---**
    and aggressively do
    our best to cooperate—
**[03:15] ---**
    So they'll accept
    our conditions
**[03:18] ---**
    only if we show them obedience?!
**[03:21] ---**
    No, that's not the case.
**[03:23] ---**
    This is just
    my personal observation.
**[03:26] ---**
    That's just too convenient…
**[03:28] ---**
    Be quiet, Sasuke.
**[03:30] ---**
    This is Itachi talking here…
**[03:32] ---**
    I'm sure he came to this conclusion
    after careful thought.
**[03:34] ---**
    But—!
**[03:35] ---**
    Besides, we have long desired
    to participate in government.
**[03:40] ---**
    Originally, our ancestors
    chose to live here
**[03:43] ---**
    after fighting in wars that
    sought blood for blood.
**[03:47] ---**
    We must strive to
    find common ground.
**[03:49] ---**
    Thank you.
**[03:52] ---**
    *You always do this, Father!*
**[03:56] ---**
    Anyway, this is sudden, but…
**[03:58] ---**
    I've been given a request
    from the Hokage.
**[04:03] ---**
    You're quite cunning…
**[04:05] ---**
    First, you make sure
    I'm in an amenable mood…
**[04:10] ---**
    A mission to guard an official from
    the Feudal Lord's office, a VIP.
**[04:13] ---**
    It's a direct request
    from the Feudal Lord.
**[04:15] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf will
    be dispatching an escort unit.
**[04:18] ---**
    It will be a long-term mission.
**[04:21] ---**
    If we accept this mission,
    failure is not an option.
**[04:24] ---**
    Let's immediately go
    through selections.
**[04:38] ---**
    *It's always like this.*
**[04:40] ---**
    *Father only sees Big Brother.*
**[04:42] ---**
    *No matter how hard I try…*
**[04:46] ---**
    *Why did I think*
    *you would be like Itachi?*
**[04:50] ---**
    *Your older brother would*
    *have done better.*
**[04:53] ---**
    *This is Itachi talking here…*
**[04:56] ---**
    *I'm sure he came to this conclusion*
    *after careful thought.*
**[04:59] ---**
    *Every single time!*
**[05:00] ---**
    *He never acknowledges me!*
**[05:06] ---**
    See? Didn't I tell you, Naruto?
**[05:08] ---**
    Sasuke's mastered Chidori.
**[05:11] ---**
    You're right!
**[05:12] ---**
    I said it to him first,
    but he's surpassed me!
**[05:15] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[05:17] ---**
    I brought some refreshments.
    Let's have some together!
**[05:23] ---**
    You're being a nuisance!
**[05:30] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[05:33] ---**
    What are you doing?!
**[05:35] ---**
    Apologize to Sakura, now!
**[05:37] ---**
    Don't order me around.
**[05:39] ---**
    A loser has no right to talk…
**[05:41] ---**
    I'm not ordering you!
**[05:42] ---**
    And I'm not a loser!
**[05:45] ---**
    I've already caught up to you!
**[05:46] ---**
    You just can't accept it!
**[05:49] ---**
    Why you—!
**[05:51] ---**
    Don't be so stuck-up!
**[05:53] ---**
    You, equal to me?
    Impossible.
**[05:56] ---**
    Do you wanna put that
    to a test right now?
**[05:59] ---**
    Fine.
**[06:00] ---**
    Hey, you guys, stop it!
**[06:27] ---**
    Naruto!
**[06:27] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[06:29] ---**
    Stop!
**[06:33] ---**
    Dad?
**[06:36] ---**
    Sorry, but fights are
    forbidden inside the village.
**[06:44] ---**
    Lord Fourth!
**[06:46] ---**
    Thank you.
**[06:47] ---**
    I'm so sorry, Sakura…
**[06:51] ---**
    *Where is he—?!*
**[06:57] ---**
    Ouch!
**[07:03] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[07:12] ---**
    *What is that power?!*
**[07:14] ---**
    *How did he—?*
**[07:34] ---**
    *I'll never accept you.*
**[07:39] ---**
    *I promise*
    *I'll knock you down!*
**[07:49] ---**
    I didn't formulate the Rasengan
    to hurt my friends.
**[07:54] ---**
    Why did you do that?
**[07:57] ---**
    I was frustrated.
**[08:02] ---**
    I've always tried
    to catch up to him.
**[08:05] ---**
    But he refuses to acknowledge me.
**[08:11] ---**
    People's feelings
    are complicated.
**[08:15] ---**
    But…
**[08:18] ---**
    But…
**[08:19] ---**
    I'm never gonna give up.
**[08:21] ---**
    Even if it's impossible now,
**[08:22] ---**
    I'm gonna become much stronger…
**[08:24] ---**
    I'm gonna get him to
    acknowledge me someday!
**[08:30] ---**
    I thought you were listening
    to our conversation the other day.
**[08:35] ---**
    So you're going to
    criticize me again
**[08:37] ---**
    without even asking about
    the circumstances?
**[08:39] ---**
    What are your intentions?
**[08:42] ---**
    Nothing.
**[08:45] ---**
    I'm just not going to expect
    anything from you anymore.
**[08:48] ---**
    I've decided I'm going
    to follow my own path.
**[08:52] ---**
    "Your own path"?
**[08:54] ---**
    Yeah, that's right.
**[08:56] ---**
    And right now, I want power.
**[09:01] ---**
    I have just one request
    for you.
**[09:06] ---**
    All right!
**[09:08] ---**
    I'm gonna train hard
    again today!
**[09:10] ---**
    What is all this racket,
    this early in the morning?
**[09:16] ---**
    Okay, here I go!
**[09:17] ---**
    Naruto…
**[09:21] ---**
    Sakura?
**[09:23] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[09:25] ---**
    It's awful. Sasuke's—!
**[09:31] ---**
    Is it true, Dad?
**[09:33] ---**
    Sasuke's leaving our team?!
**[09:36] ---**
    Yes, it's true.
**[09:38] ---**
    Mr. Fugaku came by
    a little earlier to inform me.
**[09:40] ---**
    Sasuke will be joining
    the Leaf Police Force from today.
**[09:45] ---**
    Why so suddenly?
**[09:46] ---**
    What's going to happen
    to our team? To Team 7?
**[09:51] ---**
    Well…
**[09:51] ---**
    I'm gonna go ask him myself!
**[09:54] ---**
    Hold on.
**[09:55] ---**
    Just hold on.
**[09:59] ---**
    What's the big idea?
**[10:03] ---**
    Sasuke has already left
    for the Feudal Lord's office.
**[10:07] ---**
    The Uchiha have taken
    on a long-term escort mission.
**[10:13] ---**
    It's the Uchiha's Elite Unit.
**[10:16] ---**
    Sasuke wants to shadow
**[10:17] ---**
    and learn from
    the more experienced shinobi.
**[10:19] ---**
    It seems he made
    a strong appeal to join them.
**[10:22] ---**
    Sasuke did?
**[10:24] ---**
    That's…way too sudden.
**[10:27] ---**
    We haven't even made
    amends yet.
**[10:32] ---**
    You're such an idiot.
**[10:35] ---**
    You should be
    a little happy for him.
**[10:37] ---**
    Why should I?
**[10:40] ---**
    He volunteered for
    this mission
**[10:42] ---**
    in order to hone his skills.
**[10:44] ---**
    He probably made up
    his mind right
**[10:46] ---**
    after fighting with you
    and realizing something.
**[10:50] ---**
    Then, he also—?!
**[10:53] ---**
    Right.
**[10:54] ---**
    Like you,
    he "doesn't want to lose."
**[10:56] ---**
    At least it means
    he's aware of you.
**[11:00] ---**
    I see.
**[11:02] ---**
    This isn't the time to relax.
**[11:05] ---**
    Sasuke will become
    ridiculously strong,
**[11:08] ---**
    and when he comes back,
    he'll crush you and defeat you.
**[11:12] ---**
    No! That's not good!
**[11:14] ---**
    I have to train too!
**[11:16] ---**
    Hurry! I have to start right now!
**[11:18] ---**
    All right, that's the spirit.
**[11:20] ---**
    I'll be rooting you
    from distant skies.
**[11:29] ---**
    H-Hold on, y'know!
**[11:32] ---**
    What you just said…
**[11:33] ---**
    Aren't you gonna
    help me train, Pervy Sage?!
**[11:37] ---**
    My wounds are completely healed.
**[11:40] ---**
    I have to set out in search
    of Orochimaru soon.
**[11:43] ---**
    No way!
**[11:48] ---**
    Don't get so depressed.
**[11:51] ---**
    I'll watch over your training
    when I have a chance.
**[11:53] ---**
    But you're always so busy, Dad!
**[11:59] ---**
    Hey… Why don't you
    take me with you?
**[12:01] ---**
    What?!
**[12:03] ---**
    You want to go
    on the journey too?
**[12:05] ---**
    It's the perfect idea!
**[12:06] ---**
    I'll get lots of training
    on the road!
**[12:09] ---**
    Well, uh… Jiraiya Sensei?
**[12:14] ---**
    I don't mind.
**[12:16] ---**
    But I wonder what
    Kushina will say.
**[12:19] ---**
    She's really strict
    when it comes to
**[12:21] ---**
    The Three Prohibitions
    of the Shinobi and whatever…
**[12:23] ---**
    Well, we just have
    to convince her!
**[12:25] ---**
    C'mon! Let's go!
**[12:27] ---**
    You're so self-centered…
**[12:31] ---**
    U-Um…
**[12:33] ---**
    BELIEVE
    
    So that means…
    Naruto is leaving the team too?
**[12:37] ---**
    I'm so sorry.
**[12:39] ---**
    I'll start looking into where
    you can transfer to, so…
**[12:42] ---**
    No…
**[12:46] ---**
    I don't mind being on call.
**[12:49] ---**
    But…
**[12:51] ---**
    When Naruto returns,
    we'll have our old team back.
**[12:55] ---**
    And even with Sasuke,
**[12:57] ---**
    there's a chance he might
    have a change of heart.
**[13:00] ---**
    I understand.
**[13:01] ---**
    Besides…
**[13:03] ---**
    There's something
    I want to do as well,
**[13:05] ---**
    while they're away.
**[13:07] ---**
    I think it will be
    a good opportunity.
**[13:16] ---**
    Please…
**[13:17] ---**
    That jutsu you mentioned before,
    I'd like to learn it.
**[13:23] ---**
    *I can't be the only one on*
    *the team who's lagging behind.*
**[13:34] ---**
    *I like that look on your face.*
**[13:37] ---**
    Fine.
**[13:38] ---**
    But I'm warning you…
    I won't go easy.
**[13:41] ---**
    Yes!
**[13:47] ---**
    Are you sure about this?
**[13:49] ---**
    I took you in because
    Captain Fugaku asked me to.
**[13:52] ---**
    But everyone in the unit
    is ranked way above you.
**[13:55] ---**
    The days will be long and hard
    at the Feudal Lord's office.
**[13:59] ---**
    I'm looking forward to it.
**[14:01] ---**
    After my father and brother,
**[14:03] ---**
    you're the most skilled
    among the Uchiha.
**[14:05] ---**
    As long as my brother is
    on the Hokage's detail…
**[14:08] ---**
    I've always assumed that
    you would be the next captain.
**[14:12] ---**
    And that's why you volunteered?
**[14:15] ---**
    I have a goal I must reach.
**[14:17] ---**
    And for that…
**[14:19] ---**
    All right, then it's fine by me.
**[14:22] ---**
    Let's go!
**[14:27] ---**
    Hey, I've been thinking
    from before…
**[14:31] ---**
    Orochimaru is a bad guy, right?
**[14:34] ---**
    So why do you go out
    of your way to look for him.
**[14:37] ---**
    Despite what he is now,
    he was once my friend.
**[14:41] ---**
    But one day,
    he went off the path.
**[14:44] ---**
    I should have set him right
    back then.
**[14:46] ---**
    I couldn't stop him.
**[14:50] ---**
    I see…
**[14:51] ---**
    I can't help but to think…
**[14:54] ---**
    If I hadn't let him go,
    he could still be here.
**[15:01] ---**
    I don't want you to have
    the same kind of regrets.
**[15:04] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[15:06] ---**
    Still, I haven't given up on him!
**[15:09] ---**
    I'll bring him back one day!
**[15:12] ---**
    Yeah!
**[15:19] ---**
    You didn't have to see me off…
**[15:21] ---**
    Now that won't do, y'know!
**[15:24] ---**
    Now listen carefully, Naruto.
**[15:26] ---**
    The Three Prohibitions of
    the Shinobi must be strictly observed!
**[15:28] ---**
    Jiraiya Sensei tends to be too lax.
**[15:31] ---**
    Don't you dare imitate
    his bad habits!
**[15:34] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[15:35] ---**
    She insisted on seeing you off.
**[15:37] ---**
    That goes without saying, y'know!
**[15:39] ---**
    What if Naruto picks up
    bad habits
**[15:41] ---**
    while accompanying Sensei
    on his intel gathering?!
**[15:45] ---**
    PITTER-PATTER
    
    I worry enough about his antics
    and recklessness.
**[15:49] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[15:51] ---**
    If he gets in my way,
**[15:52] ---**
    I'll just transport him away to
    Mount Myoboku or someplace.
**[15:54] ---**
    Mount Myoboku?
**[16:02] ---**
    No matter what kind
    of food you're served,
**[16:03] ---**
    just hang in there.
**[16:05] ---**
    U-Uh-huh.
**[16:06] ---**
    Hey…
**[16:08] ---**
    Be careful on your journey.
**[16:10] ---**
    You guys!
**[16:11] ---**
    Just don't go overboard.
**[16:13] ---**
    If you try too hard,
**[16:14] ---**
    you'll make us look
    like we're slacking off.
**[16:16] ---**
    What're you saying?!
**[16:18] ---**
    We're going to work hard too!
**[16:20] ---**
    I refuse to be a genin forever!
**[16:23] ---**
    I'll have you know,
**[16:24] ---**
    I'm on track to go straight
    to the top.
**[16:27] ---**
    I already have a place
    to train.
**[16:29] ---**
    Huh?! When did this happen?!
**[16:32] ---**
    I'm not going to lose to Naruto.
**[16:35] ---**
    Roger, y'know!
**[16:37] ---**
    Hey…
**[16:39] ---**
    It's about time to leave.
**[16:40] ---**
    Right! I'm ready!
**[16:46] ---**
    Okay! I'm off, y'know!
**[16:52] ---**
    I can't believe that a shinobi
    of your caliber failed…
**[16:56] ---**
    If that plan succeeded,
**[16:58] ---**
    we could have gotten rid of
    the faction of moderate jonin
**[17:01] ---**
    who support the Fourth Hokage
    in one swoop,
**[17:03] ---**
    and spread our political influence.
**[17:06] ---**
    You can't blame it all on me.
**[17:09] ---**
    The plan failed due to the shinobi
    that Hizashi assembled.
**[17:14] ---**
    Since you installed Hizashi
    as the point-person for this plan,
**[17:17] ---**
    some of the blame lies with you.
**[17:21] ---**
    I did what I was supposed to do.
**[17:25] ---**
    So I expect the contract
    to be honored.
**[17:32] ---**
    I understand.
**[17:34] ---**
    What are your wishes
    for the next vessel?
**[17:37] ---**
    Well…
**[17:39] ---**
    Actually, Itachi would
    have been ideal.
**[17:42] ---**
    But it was too late this time…
**[17:45] ---**
    The next time around,
    he'll be past his prime.
**[17:49] ---**
    I see…
**[17:51] ---**
    I'll choose a suitable candidate
**[17:54] ---**
    who possesses even
    better qualities than Itachi,
**[17:57] ---**
    one who will reach his physical peak
    in three years' time.
**[18:00] ---**
    Yes, I'm counting on you.
**[18:03] ---**
    Someone young, beautiful,
    and strong.
**[18:06] ---**
    An ideal body…
**[18:19] ---**
    Not yet!
**[18:38] ---**
    Ouch!
**[18:41] ---**
    Chidori Stream!
**[19:06] ---**
    All right. That's pretty good.
**[19:23] ---**
    So you're going back to
    the Hidden Leaf Village
**[19:25] ---**
    as soon as
    your replacement arrives?
**[19:27] ---**
    Yeah…
**[19:28] ---**
    I've learned everything I can here.
**[19:31] ---**
    Besides, I have a goal
    I have to fulfill.
**[19:35] ---**
    It's none of my business, but…
**[19:39] ---**
    It's good to have a goal.
**[19:41] ---**
    But getting too attached to a goal
**[19:43] ---**
    can lead someone off
    the right path.
**[19:47] ---**
    I want you to remember that.
**[19:50] ---**
    Your interference is unnecessary.
**[19:53] ---**
    Thanks for the last three years.
**[19:58] ---**
    *I want to make sure*
    *with my own eyes…*
**[20:00] ---**
    *But I guess it's out of*
    *the question since I'm stuck here.*
**[20:05] ---**
    You're back.
**[20:07] ---**
    I heard the report.
**[20:09] ---**
    Only the elite were sent there…
**[20:12] ---**
    But I understand that
    you've developed into a shinobi
**[20:13] ---**
    who's second only to Shisui.
**[20:15] ---**
    It's no big deal.
**[20:18] ---**
    I'll surpass Itachi, soon.
**[20:22] ---**
    Listen to you,
    such confidence now…
**[20:28] ---**
    This is…
**[20:30] ---**
    A lieutenant's armband for
    the Leaf Police Force.
**[20:35] ---**
    Talk is easy.
**[20:37] ---**
    Now demonstrate your skills
    in a real mission.
**[20:41] ---**
    Looking forward to it!
**[20:50] ---**
    *I've returned,*
**[20:51] ---**
    *to dispel the humiliation*
    *of that day.*
**[20:54] ---**
    *And this time…*
**[20:56] ---**
    *I'll take you down*
**[20:57] ---**
    *and prove to you*
    *who's stronger!*
**[22:37] ---**
    The recent activities of
    the Leaf Police Force
**[22:40] ---**
    are unpardonable!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    It must be a form of protest.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    They're annoyed because their
    circumstances remained unchanged.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    They're starting to lose patience.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Especially the younger generation.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    And the one at the center
    of all of this is…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Difference in Power."
    
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Sasuke, huh? One of the most gifted
    members of the Uchiha Clan.
    
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    JIRAIYA NINJA SCROLLS:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero-
    "The Mutual Path"

**[00:06] ---**
    Impossible… He took us all out
    in one swoop!
**[00:10] ---**
    It was a blessing
**[00:12] ---**
    that this gang of thieves
    escaped into our territory.
**[00:15] ---**
    Our superior is none other
    than the lieutenant,
**[00:17] ---**
    the most skilled in
    the organization,
**[00:19] ---**
    our pride and joy.
**[00:20] ---**
    There's no way
    you could've gotten away.
**[00:26] ---**
    Brilliant as usual.
**[00:29] ---**
    So? What do we do with them…?
**[00:32] ---**
    What we always do.
**[00:34] ---**
    Understood.
**[00:35] ---**
    Hey, guys!
**[00:36] ---**
    Teach them a lesson and
    make an example out of them!
**[00:47] ---**
    Do they have to
    beat them up so much?
**[00:50] ---**
    Lately, their methods
    have been extreme!
**[00:53] ---**
    They say it's to maintain
    public morals…
**[00:55] ---**
    But they're just throwing
    their weight around.
**[00:57] ---**
    Did you say something?
**[00:58] ---**
    Oh, scary!
**[00:59] ---**
    We'd better watch what we say,
    or we're gonna get it too!
**[01:13] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[02:45] ---**
    LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *The Difference in Power*
    
    
    
    
**[02:49] ---**
    ON STANDBY
    
    I thought it would be
    too extreme at first…
**[02:51] ---**
    But seeing the results,
    it all ended up being a good idea.
**[02:54] ---**
    If we hurt them enough,
**[02:56] ---**
    bad guys won't resort
    to crime again.
**[02:58] ---**
    The same goes with the villagers.
**[03:01] ---**
    This acts as a preventative
**[03:02] ---**
    so we're killing two birds
    with one stone.
**[03:04] ---**
    No…We get to let off steam too,
**[03:06] ---**
    so it's like killing three birds
    with one stone!
**[03:13] ---**
    Honestly, until Mr. Sasuke came,
    everyone was getting fed up.
**[03:18] ---**
    Our main issue was at a standstill
**[03:20] ---**
    while our work kept
    increasing steadily.
**[03:23] ---**
    All Captain Fugaku says is
    to heed the Hokage and wait.
**[03:29] ---**
    If things were going
    to change by waiting,
**[03:32] ---**
    they would've changed long ago.
**[03:35] ---**
    Absolutely…
**[03:36] ---**
    We have to apply pressure too.
**[03:38] ---**
    Lord Fugaku's ways
    are too weak.
**[03:40] ---**
    We're going to
    follow you, Lieutenant.
**[03:46] ---**
    *Talk is easy.*
**[03:49] ---**
    *Now demonstrate your skills*
    *in a real mission.*
**[03:53] ---**
    *This isn't difficult at all…*
**[04:01] ---**
    The recent activities of
**[04:03] ---**
    the Leaf Police Force
    are unpardonable!
**[04:05] ---**
    There's no doubt that
    crime has gone down,
**[04:09] ---**
    but the villagers are
    growing uneasy by the day.
**[04:13] ---**
    It must be a form of protest.
**[04:16] ---**
    They must be annoyed
**[04:17] ---**
    because their circumstances
    remain unchanged…
**[04:19] ---**
    They're starting to
    lose patience.
**[04:22] ---**
    Change takes time.
**[04:25] ---**
    My father understands this.
**[04:28] ---**
    However, others feel
    frustrated by this.
**[04:32] ---**
    Especially the younger generation.
**[04:35] ---**
    And the one at
    the center of all this is…
**[04:37] ---**
    the clan's most gifted member,
    Sasuke.
**[04:46] ---**
    Sasuke, you're back.
**[05:06] ---**
    Perhaps they're being rough,
**[05:08] ---**
    but they've haven't deviated
    from their duties.
**[05:12] ---**
    I believe my father would still
    like to keep observing them.
**[05:15] ---**
    And if we make the wrong move,
    we'll only invite more resistance.
**[05:28] ---**
    What a drag…
**[05:29] ---**
    Everyone's so uptight in
    the village because of them…
**[05:33] ---**
    It's so annoying.
**[05:34] ---**
    Until recently, this used to be
    such a lively place
**[05:37] ---**
    filled with food stands!
**[05:39] ---**
    Since they're so strict about
    regulating everything…
**[05:41] ---**
    it's so deserted now.
**[05:43] ---**
    I know. I want to know
    what Sasuke's thinking…
**[05:47] ---**
    But he's so unapproachable
    these days.
**[05:51] ---**
    Do you think it will ever
    go back to how it was?
**[05:55] ---**
    This is strange…
**[05:58] ---**
    Weren't there lots of
    food stands here before?
**[06:01] ---**
    That voice!
**[06:02] ---**
    Is it…Naruto?!
**[06:06] ---**
    Sakura!
**[06:07] ---**
    You guys!
**[06:08] ---**
    When did you get back?
**[06:11] ---**
    Just now.
**[06:13] ---**
    Pervy Sage had to make a stop,
    so I just came home first.
**[06:19] ---**
    You kinda look a little
    more distinguished!
**[06:22] ---**
    Really?
**[06:23] ---**
    You guys haven't changed at all!
**[06:25] ---**
    What're you saying?
    We've changed a lot.
**[06:28] ---**
    Look!
**[06:30] ---**
    That's—!
**[06:31] ---**
    While you were gone,
    we all became chunin.
**[06:35] ---**
    Not only that, Neji,
    who was a class ahead of us,
**[06:37] ---**
    is now a jonin.
**[06:39] ---**
    Which means…
**[06:40] ---**
    I'm the only one from
    our class who's still a genin?!
**[06:43] ---**
    Actually…Sasuke is one too.
**[06:47] ---**
    Since he was at the Feudal Lord's
    office all this time.
**[06:49] ---**
    What's going on with Sasuke?
**[06:52] ---**
    Yeah, well…
**[06:54] ---**
    Since you've been away,
**[06:55] ---**
    things have gotten
    a little complicated.
**[07:02] ---**
    Hey you!
**[07:03] ---**
    Who gave you permission
    to open up shop?!
**[07:06] ---**
    I'm sorry, but until now…
**[07:09] ---**
    Never mind. Come with me.
**[07:14] ---**
    Damn it!
**[07:15] ---**
    She's just a grandma!
    That's overkill!
**[07:17] ---**
    You're—!
**[07:21] ---**
    Oh no, it's that kid…
**[07:23] ---**
    He's come back, huh?
**[07:26] ---**
    Breaking the rules
    the minute you return?
**[07:29] ---**
    Seems like you haven't
    grown up at all, have you?
**[07:31] ---**
    Well, you sure have changed.
**[07:35] ---**
    Choji, take granny.
**[07:37] ---**
    Right.
**[07:38] ---**
    – Hey!
    – Sorry…
**[07:40] ---**
    but I can't let you pass.
**[07:43] ---**
    What do we do, Lieutenant?
**[07:46] ---**
    We're not going to back down
**[07:48] ---**
    from any obstructions
    of our duties.
**[07:52] ---**
    Still talking about
    that kinda stuff?
**[08:00] ---**
    *I've been waiting for this day…*
**[08:08] ---**
    What is this feeling?
**[08:21] ---**
    Stop it, both of you!
**[08:22] ---**
    Are you aware that
    this is a public road?
**[08:26] ---**
    You're—!
**[08:30] ---**
    We're just two friends
    having a friendly fight,
**[08:32] ---**
    It's none of your business
    so back off, old man!
**[08:35] ---**
    You idiot!
**[08:36] ---**
    Huh?! What, Sakura?!
**[08:39] ---**
    Hey!
**[08:40] ---**
    Let's just get out of here!
**[08:43] ---**
    Are they going to run away?!
**[08:45] ---**
    Forget it. Leave them alone.
**[08:47] ---**
    But—!
**[08:49] ---**
    That's an order.
**[08:50] ---**
    Just continue your rounds.
**[09:01] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki…
**[09:03] ---**
    He's gained a lot of strength
    in three years.
**[09:07] ---**
    His master Jiraiya has
    taught him well.
**[09:11] ---**
    What is it that you want to say?
**[09:13] ---**
    I'm just posing a simple question.
**[09:15] ---**
    You should be much more
    than how you are right now.
**[09:18] ---**
    How long will you remain
    confined to where you're at?
**[09:21] ---**
    That's all.
**[09:37] ---**
    You don't just go around
    calling someone
**[09:39] ---**
    like Lord Danzo "old man."
**[09:41] ---**
    I didn't know!
**[09:43] ---**
    Who the hell was that?
**[09:44] ---**
    He's one of the Leaf's top officials!
**[09:46] ---**
    In fact, he's the one
    who's always at odds
**[09:49] ---**
    with Lord Fourth
    and Lord Third.
**[09:50] ---**
    Even Lady Tsunade
    strictly warned me
**[09:54] ---**
    to never get involved with him.
**[09:56] ---**
    You're so dense, Naruto.
**[09:59] ---**
    Thank you for earlier.
**[10:02] ---**
    Oh no…
**[10:03] ---**
    It's no big deal.
**[10:06] ---**
    It was the right thing to do…
**[10:08] ---**
    Well, I must get going.
**[10:11] ---**
    I hear he's always been on bad terms
    with the Lieutenant.
**[10:16] ---**
    I just hope he doesn't make
    this any worse than it already is.
**[10:19] ---**
    – Hey!
    – It's okay.
**[10:21] ---**
    There's no end
    to it if you get involved.
**[10:23] ---**
    More importantly,
    getting back to Sasuke…
**[10:26] ---**
    Pervy Sage told me…
**[10:28] ---**
    If a friend wanders off the path,
    you have to pull them back onto it.
**[10:33] ---**
    So next time,
    we have to stop Sasuke.
**[10:35] ---**
    Yeah!
**[10:49] ---**
    Are you sure about
    leaving them alone, Lieutenant?
**[10:52] ---**
    I know he's gonna give
    you more trouble!
**[10:55] ---**
    Shut up!
**[10:56] ---**
    Lieutenant!
**[10:58] ---**
    I have work to do.
**[11:00] ---**
    If you're a member of
    the Leaf Police Force,
**[11:03] ---**
    use your own judgment instead
    of always depending on me.
**[11:15] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki…*
**[11:17] ---**
    *He's gained a lot of strength*
    *in three years.*
**[11:25] ---**
    *I don't know how he trained…*
**[11:27] ---**
    *But he's nothing like how*
    *he was in the past.*
**[11:30] ---**
    *I'm not strong enough.*
**[11:32] ---**
    *How do I—?!*
**[11:42] ---**
    That child Sasuke…
**[11:45] ---**
    …possesses fine eyes.
**[12:25] ---**
    Oh yeah, the Police Force
    had a run-in
**[12:28] ---**
    with the Hokage's son yesterday.
**[12:30] ---**
    What?!
**[12:31] ---**
    I just saw them.
**[12:33] ---**
    They were walking around
    like nothing happened.
**[12:35] ---**
    So the Police Force acts
    all big with us commoners,
**[12:38] ---**
    but their hands are tied when it comes
    to the son of a powerful official, huh?
**[12:41] ---**
    They're just the Hokage's lapdogs,
    after all.
**[12:44] ---**
    Everyone's started gossiping.
**[12:46] ---**
    Letting him go was a big mistake!
**[12:49] ---**
    We've been clamping down
    on everyone until now.
**[12:52] ---**
    So when we make an exception
    and go easy on someone…
**[12:54] ---**
    they drag us through the mud.
**[12:56] ---**
    But the Lieutenant said
    to leave him alone!
**[12:59] ---**
    He also entrusted us
    to handle things on our own!
**[13:02] ---**
    Thinking about the sake
    of our clan,
**[13:04] ---**
    we have to make the right decisions.
**[13:08] ---**
    I'm gonna go all out and
    whip up something special today!
**[13:18] ---**
    What—?!
**[13:19] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[13:21] ---**
    You can't just barge
    into someone's house…
**[13:23] ---**
    especially with your dirty shoes on!
**[13:25] ---**
    Bring us Naruto Uzumaki!
**[13:26] ---**
    We want to question him about
    interfering with our duties the other day.
**[13:30] ---**
    I know nothing about it.
**[13:32] ---**
    Interfering with your duty?
**[13:33] ---**
    My son would never
    do such a thing!
**[13:37] ---**
    Besides, on whose authority
    are you acting?
**[13:41] ---**
    I'm going to tell Minato and you're going
    to get an earful, y'know!
**[13:43] ---**
    If you try to protect him,
    we'll take you with us too!
**[13:45] ---**
    What's the big idea…
**[13:48] ---**
    barging in like this?
**[14:03] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[14:07] ---**
    What is it?
**[14:08] ---**
    The captain wants to see you.
**[14:09] ---**
    Please come with me now, Lieutenant.
**[14:17] ---**
    I had some misgivings,
**[14:19] ---**
    but I never expected
    the members of the Police Force
**[14:22] ---**
    would raid the Hokage's residence
    without the proper authorization.
**[14:26] ---**
    My sincerest apologies.
**[14:29] ---**
    Well, at least no one was hurt.
**[14:33] ---**
    So, what does Fugaku
    think about all of this?
**[14:35] ---**
    He knows that he has
    to take action now.
**[14:37] ---**
    I'm sure he'll take appropriate
    measures of discipline.
**[14:41] ---**
    I just hope they ease up a little now.
**[14:54] ---**
    You guys!
**[14:56] ---**
    We're sorry, Lieutenant!
**[14:58] ---**
    We only did this for
    the sake of the Uchiha.
**[15:08] ---**
    Enough.
**[15:10] ---**
    Lock them up.
**[15:12] ---**
    Sir!
**[15:15] ---**
    You said you'd take
    a different path.
**[15:18] ---**
    And you did become stronger.
**[15:21] ---**
    But after all that boasting,
**[15:23] ---**
    I had hoped there was
    some substance to it.
**[15:27] ---**
    But I guess it was for nothing.
**[15:33] ---**
    What you ended up doing
    was empowering fools
**[15:35] ---**
    to indulge in idiotic behavior.
**[15:39] ---**
    Nothing good came out of this.
**[15:43] ---**
    You will never measure up
    to your brother Itachi!
**[15:51] ---**
    I don't need someone
    like you in my unit.
**[15:55] ---**
    You are hereby relieved
    of your duties as lieutenant.
**[15:59] ---**
    I am dismissing you
    from the Leaf Police Force.
**[16:09] ---**
    The Leaf Police Force did that?
**[16:12] ---**
    So what's going to happen
    to Sasuke?
**[16:15] ---**
    I don't know.
**[16:17] ---**
    But I wouldn't be surprised
    if he's fired from the force.
**[16:22] ---**
    We'll just slap him on the back
**[16:24] ---**
    and welcome him back
    into our team again.
**[16:28] ---**
    Okay!
**[16:38] ---**
    *What the hell…*
**[16:40] ---**
    *…was I doing for*
    *the last three years?*
**[16:45] ---**
    *Why is he so different from me?!*
**[16:52] ---**
    *It's power… I need power.*
**[17:01] ---**
    You've come.
**[17:07] ---**
    You called me,
**[17:08] ---**
    so you must have
    something up your sleeve.
**[17:11] ---**
    I just came to see
    what you're offering.
**[17:16] ---**
    You came just to see?
**[17:20] ---**
    I want to take advantage of you too.
**[17:22] ---**
    I figured we'd have
    a nice little chat.
**[17:25] ---**
    And? What do you want?
**[17:29] ---**
    I want power…
**[17:31] ---**
    Enough to beat *him.*
**[17:33] ---**
    I predicted as much.
**[17:37] ---**
    But…are you sure?
**[17:39] ---**
    Not only is Naruto Uzumaki
    the Hokage's son…
**[17:42] ---**
    he's also the Jinchuriki
    of the Nine Tails,
**[17:46] ---**
    which is essential to this village.
**[17:47] ---**
    If you realize your goal,
    it's possible
**[17:49] ---**
    that the Uchiha's standing
    in the village will worsen.
**[17:53] ---**
    I don't care.
**[17:54] ---**
    Beating him means
    everything to me…
**[17:58] ---**
    I don't care about
    the Uchiha or the Hidden Leaf.
**[18:01] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[18:03] ---**
    I remember a shinobi who
    deserted the village long ago
**[18:05] ---**
    saying something
    along those lines…
**[18:09] ---**
    He betrayed everyone,
**[18:11] ---**
    committed numerous crimes
    and in exchange…
**[18:14] ---**
    obtained frightening power.
**[18:18] ---**
    His name is Orochimaru…
**[18:21] ---**
    One of the Legendary Sannin,
    like Jiraiya, Naruto's mentor.
**[18:26] ---**
    The Legendary Sannin.
**[18:29] ---**
    He has knowledge of
    the myriad jutsu
**[18:31] ---**
    that exist in this world
    including forbidden ones.
**[18:34] ---**
    I can't think of a better person
    to learn from than him.
**[18:42] ---**
    However…he is a man
    who has lived within the darkness.
**[18:46] ---**
    Remember that's the price you'll pay.
**[18:49] ---**
    I'm looking forward to it.
**[18:51] ---**
    Fine then.
**[18:53] ---**
    Before sunrise,
    go to the tower at the border.
**[18:56] ---**
    I'll take care of the rest.
**[19:01] ---**
    We're not done yet.
**[19:03] ---**
    I want to know what
    you get out of this.
**[19:06] ---**
    It's your choice to believe me
    or to not…
**[19:09] ---**
    But I am one among many
    who do not look too kindly
**[19:11] ---**
    on that monster, the Nine Tails.
**[19:16] ---**
    It's a monster that could
    rampage at any moment,
**[19:18] ---**
    I question if it's wise to leave
    such a power unbridled…
**[19:23] ---**
    I feel we need the power
    to fight against it.
**[19:36] ---**
    Go.
**[19:40] ---**
    We have a contract now.
**[19:43] ---**
    The rest is up to you.
**[19:59] ---**
    Shiro!
**[20:03] ---**
    Take care of yourself.
**[20:20] ---**
    If you're gonna have
    a midnight snack,
**[20:22] ---**
    it's got to be rich and heavy!
**[20:26] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[20:27] ---**
    Where's he going at this hour?
**[20:29] ---**
    Here you go.
    Five orders of fried chicken bites!
**[20:31] ---**
    I gave you some extra too!
**[20:32] ---**
    Oh! Awesome!
**[20:38] ---**
    All right, our shift's over.
**[20:40] ---**
    Time to close the gate.
**[20:47] ---**
    We didn't get any advance notices
    about departures at this hour…
**[20:51] ---**
    Hey, we're closing the gate!
**[20:59] ---**
    Wait!
**[22:36] ---**
    I'm grateful to you.
    
    
**[22:38] ---**
    But this isn't enough.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I'm not satisfied with the lackluster
    level that I'm at right now.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I'm going to get power…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    at the side of that
    *other* Sannin.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Those three years…
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I can't let those three years
    end in a blink of an eye!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

**[00:04] ---**
    All right, our shift's over.
    Time to close the gate.
**[00:12] ---**
    We didn't get any advance notices
    about departures at this hour…
**[00:16] ---**
    Hey, we're closing the gate!
**[00:24] ---**
    Wait!
**[01:58] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *Leaving the Village*
**[02:20] ---**
    Where are you going
    at this hour?
**[02:23] ---**
    And why would you need
    to resort to all this?
**[02:28] ---**
    I'm grateful to you…
**[02:30] ---**
    but this isn't enough.
**[02:33] ---**
    I'm not satisfied with the lackluster level
    that I'm at right now.
**[02:38] ---**
    I'm going to get power…
**[02:40] ---**
    at the side of that
    *other* Sannin.
**[02:43] ---**
    Don't tell me you're—?!
**[02:53] ---**
    Damn it!
**[02:55] ---**
    It's too late.
**[02:57] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[03:32] ---**
    The Uchiha's genjutsu
    is powerful.
**[03:35] ---**
    You won't be able to do
    anything for a while.
**[03:37] ---**
    Are you all right, Kakashi?
**[03:39] ---**
    Yes, never mind me. Sasuke's…
**[03:48] ---**
    I heard earlier from
    Izumo and Kotetsu.
**[03:52] ---**
    Where is Sasuke heading
**[03:53] ---**
    that he'd resort to
    hurting you as well?
**[03:57] ---**
    Most likely, to Orochimaru.
**[04:02] ---**
    To gain more power.
**[04:03] ---**
    What?
**[04:05] ---**
    Orochimaru…?
**[04:08] ---**
    That's so foolish!
**[04:10] ---**
    Orochimaru will soon be looking
    for his next vessel.
**[04:15] ---**
    That's what Jiraiya said.
**[04:17] ---**
    Sasuke is in danger!
**[04:20] ---**
    *No way!*
**[04:21] ---**
    We can't let Sasuke make contact
    with Orochimaru.
**[04:25] ---**
    And…
**[04:26] ---**
    I want to prevent any rumors
    that he left the village from spreading.
**[04:31] ---**
    I'm going to issue
    an urgent lockdown order.
**[04:35] ---**
    That's a good idea.
**[04:37] ---**
    In order to prevent Uchiha's position
    from worsening,
**[04:41] ---**
    we must handle this internally
**[04:42] ---**
    and bring Sasuke back
    quickly and smoothly.
**[05:21] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
**[05:49] ---**
    What's going on?
**[05:51] ---**
    We're on lockdown,
    but you called us to assemble…
**[05:55] ---**
    I'll explain once everyone is here.
**[05:57] ---**
    Heh! What's with the attitude?
**[06:01] ---**
    Oh, by the way, why are we meeting
    in the classroom?
**[06:06] ---**
    U-Uh, I couldn't think
    of anywhere else.
**[06:13] ---**
    HOKAGE
    
**[06:21] ---**
    Were the desks and chairs
    always this small?
**[06:24] ---**
    No, we just got bigger.
**[06:29] ---**
    Guess you're right.
**[06:34] ---**
    *Sakura's eyes are*
    *popping out of her head…*
**[06:37] ---**
    *What's so great about*
    *that guy anyways?*
**[06:40] ---**
    *I don't get it!*
**[06:44] ---**
    *Damn it, Naruto!*
    *Don't glare at Sasuke!*
**[06:49] ---**
    *Move.*
**[06:51] ---**
    *Just beat him up, Sasuke!*
**[06:54] ---**
    *That's right!*
**[06:55] ---**
    *Huh? No way?!*
    *Oops! Sorry!*
**[07:13] ---**
    A headband…
**[07:14] ---**
    A current Academy student wouldn't
    have one of those yet.
**[07:18] ---**
    Sorry we're late!
**[07:20] ---**
    We're late because you insisted
    on walking here on your hands.
**[07:25] ---**
    Are we the last ones?
**[07:27] ---**
    Yeah, we're all here now.
**[07:29] ---**
    All here?
**[07:31] ---**
    What about that damn Sasuke?
**[07:33] ---**
    It's because of Sasuke that things
    have become a bit of a drag.
**[07:38] ---**
    Right, Sakura?
**[07:39] ---**
    Uh…yeah!
**[07:42] ---**
    I was outside of
    Lady Tsunade's office and
**[07:45] ---**
    overheard Kakashi Sensei
    and Lord Hokage talking…
**[07:49] ---**
    Sasuke…left the village.
**[07:53] ---**
    W-What?!
**[07:54] ---**
    Sasuke did what?!
**[07:56] ---**
    W-Why?
**[07:57] ---**
    He went to find Orochimaru.
**[08:00] ---**
    I don't know why, but he left
    in order to get power.
**[08:05] ---**
    Say… Isn't Orochimaru one
    of the Legendary Sannin?!
**[08:10] ---**
    Yeah… Furthermore, the rumor is
    that he killed several villagers
**[08:15] ---**
    for his experiments and ran away
    when he was discovered.
**[08:20] ---**
    Why would he go to
    someone like that?
**[08:22] ---**
    That man is still dangerous,
**[08:25] ---**
    so what kind of power
    is Sasuke seeking?
**[08:29] ---**
    Naruto…
**[08:34] ---**
    This headband…
**[08:37] ---**
    Sasuke…was here.
**[08:40] ---**
    The headband, which symbolizes
    the Hidden Leaf…
**[08:43] ---**
    He left it here in
    the Academy classroom,
**[08:47] ---**
    which holds so many memories
    for all of us.
**[08:49] ---**
    So in other words,
    does it mean that Sasuke…
**[08:53] ---**
    has abandoned us,
    and the Hidden Leaf?
**[08:54] ---**
    No way!
**[08:56] ---**
    Okay, so he's been a little irritable lately
    and short with me,
**[09:01] ---**
    and he said some sarcastic things
    that made me mad…
**[09:06] ---**
    But he's a Hidden Leaf…
**[09:10] ---**
    he's our friend!
**[09:12] ---**
    Naruto…
**[09:14] ---**
    Orochimaru is going to
    steal Sasuke's body
**[09:16] ---**
    to use as his vessel…
**[09:20] ---**
    Sasuke doesn't know that.
**[09:23] ---**
    What the hell is Sasuke doing?!
**[09:30] ---**
    I'm gonna bring Sasuke back…
**[09:32] ---**
    before he meets up with Orochimaru!
**[09:34] ---**
    I'm bringing him back
    to the village!
**[09:35] ---**
    Hold on a minute.
**[09:36] ---**
    We have to think of the position
    the Uchiha are in too…
**[09:40] ---**
    We can't make
    a big deal out of this…
**[09:43] ---**
    Still, we can't let Naruto go alone.
**[09:50] ---**
    So Naruto and I'll go.
**[09:52] ---**
    Naruto!
**[09:53] ---**
    I know, Sakura.
**[09:56] ---**
    I'll bring him back even if I have
    to beat the hell outta him!
**[10:14] ---**
    See? This is our secret tunnel.
**[10:19] ---**
    Akamaru and I occasionally
    go outside of the village
**[10:22] ---**
    for fancy moonlight picnics.
**[10:24] ---**
    Why are you calling it a picnic?
    You just take him for walks!
**[10:27] ---**
    Yeah! You're gonna get
    caught one day!
**[10:31] ---**
    I wouldn't mess up like that.
**[10:33] ---**
    Besides, thanks to him,
    we can go outside now,
**[10:35] ---**
    so you should be thankful.
**[10:39] ---**
    Shikamaru, we'd better hurry.
**[10:41] ---**
    Yeah…
**[10:42] ---**
    Naruto!
**[10:46] ---**
    Sakura?
**[10:47] ---**
    Naruto, please…
**[10:51] ---**
    Please bring Sasuke back,
**[10:54] ---**
    no matter what!
**[10:58] ---**
    Don't worry!
**[10:59] ---**
    I'll bring Sasuke back.
**[11:02] ---**
    I promise you that!
**[11:05] ---**
    We're counting on you,
    Naruto and Shikamaru.
**[11:08] ---**
    Yeah, you bet!
**[11:11] ---**
    *Naruto… Please be careful.*
**[11:26] ---**
    Sasuke boldly walked
    out the front gate
**[11:30] ---**
    leaving clear tracks everywhere.
**[11:32] ---**
    That makes it easier to follow him.
**[11:48] ---**
    *Sasuke… Why?*
**[11:51] ---**
    *Why did you—?*
**[11:57] ---**
    *I'm…*
**[12:01] ---**
    *Why did I think you would*
    *be like Itachi?*
**[12:06] ---**
    *Perhaps it's still too soon for you.*
**[12:11] ---**
    *Itachi was able to perfectly master it*
    *when he was about your age.*
**[12:16] ---**
    *Damn it…*
**[12:23] ---**
    *Chidori Stream!*
**[12:34] ---**
    *Those three years…*
**[12:44] ---**
    *What is this feeling?*
**[12:47] ---**
    *I can't let those three years end*
    *in a blink of an eye!*
**[12:52] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki…*
**[12:54] ---**
    *He's gained a lot of strength*
    *in three years.*
**[12:58] ---**
    *That loser!*
**[13:01] ---**
    *I'm going to obtain power,*
    *no matter what it takes…*
**[13:19] ---**
    Minato!
**[13:21] ---**
    Kushina!
**[13:23] ---**
    Listen to this…
**[13:24] ---**
    Despite the lockdown order,
**[13:26] ---**
    Naruto's snuck out and
    gone off somewhere
**[13:29] ---**
    and hasn't come back.
**[13:30] ---**
    Well uh… You're not supposed
    to leave the house either.
**[13:34] ---**
    It's not only Naruto, ya know.
**[13:36] ---**
    Shikamaru's missing too.
**[13:38] ---**
    What?
**[13:39] ---**
    Sakura and Ino were at home,
    but something didn't seem right.
**[13:44] ---**
    It's like they were hiding something.
**[13:46] ---**
    Hiding?
**[13:48] ---**
    Yeah.
**[13:49] ---**
    Like what if they saw examples of
    Naruto becoming a delinquent,
**[13:52] ---**
    like him going out every night,
    doing something dangerous…?
**[13:54] ---**
    And because Sakura and Ino
    are just too nice,
**[13:56] ---**
    they didn't tell us because
    they don't want us to worry…
**[13:58] ---**
    Are you even listening, Minato?!
**[14:00] ---**
    Oh, yes.
**[14:03] ---**
    Don't worry about Naruto.
**[14:05] ---**
    I think he's probably out
    doing some training.
**[14:34] ---**
    This way!
**[14:36] ---**
    Right!
**[14:54] ---**
    If Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan
    leaves the village,
**[14:57] ---**
    there will be a few who
    will not stand idly by…
**[15:00] ---**
    Mainly the children reared
    by this cowardly system
**[15:03] ---**
    that has been passed on by
    the Third Hokage through to the Fourth.
**[15:07] ---**
    Keep watch on them,
**[15:09] ---**
    and if they make a move,
    follow them.
**[15:11] ---**
    I want the gift to Orochimaru
    to reach him safely.
**[15:16] ---**
    If they interfere, get rid of them.
**[15:18] ---**
    Use whatever means necessary.
**[15:23] ---**
    It's possible those fools won't be
    the only ones on the move.
**[15:27] ---**
    Therefore, I have gathered you,
    the best of the Foundation.
**[15:32] ---**
    Do your best.
**[15:46] ---**
    Not good!
**[15:48] ---**
    Damn it!
**[15:50] ---**
    No…!
**[15:53] ---**
    What?!
**[15:55] ---**
    Bushy Brows?!
**[15:58] ---**
    Neji! Tenten!
**[16:00] ---**
    What are you doing here?
**[16:02] ---**
    We saw some shadowy figures
    pursuing you
**[16:04] ---**
    as soon as you left the village.
**[16:07] ---**
    And we hurried over to
    be your back up.
**[16:10] ---**
    I must say, being of help
    like this
**[16:12] ---**
    is much more invigorating than
    just staying in the village!
**[16:15] ---**
    Don't get too enthusiastic!
**[16:17] ---**
    Nothing good happens
    when you get too excited!
**[16:20] ---**
    No, get as enthusiastic
    as you want.
**[16:22] ---**
    You're a big help!
**[16:24] ---**
    Incoming!
**[17:05] ---**
    You guys are—!
**[17:06] ---**
    Those masks… !
**[17:08] ---**
    They're ANBU?
**[17:10] ---**
    Don't tell me Dad already
    found out?!
**[17:16] ---**
    Only the four here…
    followed us.
**[17:19] ---**
    And there are five of us.
    This will be easy!
**[17:31] ---**
    Sorry, but…
**[17:32] ---**
    We can't retreat even if
    Dad tells us to!
**[17:40] ---**
    You idiots!
**[17:42] ---**
    You can't just get into
    a fight with the ANBU!
**[17:58] ---**
    We definitely have
    to bring Sasuke back
**[18:00] ---**
    before he meets up
    with Orochimaru, ya know!
**[18:02] ---**
    So please!
**[18:03] ---**
    Don't get in our way!
**[18:44] ---**
    Get back, everyone!
**[19:07] ---**
    *They're not ordinary ANBU…*
**[19:17] ---**
    Naruto! Are you okay?
**[19:26] ---**
    *They're coming at us*
    *with intent to kill.*
**[19:29] ---**
    *This is way too harsh…*
**[19:31] ---**
    *considering that all we did was*
    *disobey the lockdown order.*
**[19:35] ---**
    *On top of that,*
**[19:36] ---**
    *there's no way they would try to*
    *kill Naruto, the Hokage's son.*
**[19:41] ---**
    I get it now…
**[19:42] ---**
    These ANBU aren't the ones
    under the Hokage.
**[19:45] ---**
    They're with the militant faction
    led by someone else.
**[19:48] ---**
    Not the pacifist faction headed up
    by the Third and Fourth Hokage.
**[19:52] ---**
    It was supposed to have been
    dismantled already.
**[19:56] ---**
    I heard about it a while ago…
**[19:58] ---**
    That a separate ANBU unit
    still exists
**[20:00] ---**
    which serves as
    a training division.
**[20:03] ---**
    I remember it was called…
    the Foundation.
**[20:07] ---**
    The Foundation?
**[20:30] ---**
    *So they belong to the Foundation…*
**[20:42] ---**
    *Damn it! At this rate,*
    *we'll never catch up to Sasuke!*
**[22:37] ---**
    These guys aren't
    under the Hokage!
**[22:40] ---**
    They're from the underground
    organization, the Foundation.
**[22:42] ---**
    I don't care if they're underground
    or aboveground!
**[22:45] ---**
    If you're trying to kill me,
**[22:47] ---**
    come at me and fair and square
    with your faces showing!
**[22:49] ---**
    Just try and get me!
**[22:51] ---**
    Such a hot-blooded child…
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Pursuers"
**[22:58] ---**
    We're from the same village,
    but these guys…

    What's going on?

**[01:38] ---**
    Damn it, we lost them.
**[01:40] ---**
    Where are they hiding?
**[01:50] ---**
    Post Superflat is
    my style of art, hmm!
**[02:32] ---**
    There he goes again,
    making a big spectacle.
**[02:36] ---**
    We knew things would
    end up like this.
**[02:37] ---**
    This is what happens when
    you leave things to Deidara!
**[02:41] ---**
    But that's not good, is it?
**[02:45] ---**
    Hey, did you witness my art?
**[02:53] ---**
    I got rid of those little gnats
    from the Sand in one swoop, hmm!
**[02:57] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[02:58] ---**
    What the hell are you doing?!
**[03:00] ---**
    If you mess up our precious targets
    like that, they'll be useless!
**[03:05] ---**
    Like I care!
**[03:06] ---**
    My art culminates in an explosion!
**[03:10] ---**
    Quit messing around, damn it!
**[03:14] ---**
    I found one we might
    be able to use.
**[03:17] ---**
    See!
**[03:18] ---**
    Instead of complaining,
    start working like a real partner!
**[03:23] ---**
    You're gonna get it!
**[03:26] ---**
    Let's go, Hidan!
**[03:29] ---**
    I know it's upsetting,
    but our comrade calls.
**[03:33] ---**
    Let's depart.
**[03:40] ---**
    Damn it!
**[03:58] ---**
    Naruto…
**[03:59] ---**
    These guys aren't under the Hokage!

**[04:09] ---**
    they should come at me fair and
    square with their faces showing!
**[04:12] ---**
    Just try and get me!
**[04:26] ---**
    Such a hot-blooded child...
**[04:33] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[04:43] ---**
    We're from the same village,
    but these guys...
**[04:46] ---**
    What's going on?
**[04:50] ---**
    *Even if they're after*
    *the Hokage's son…*
**[04:53] ---**
    *Why now?*
**[04:57] ---**
    I get it…
**[04:59] ---**
    There's another reason
    why they've come after us.
**[05:04] ---**
    Bluntly, they want to make sure
    Sasuke reaches Orochimaru.
**[05:10] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[05:12] ---**
    To Orochimaru?
**[05:14] ---**
    I see…
**[05:15] ---**
    We're trying to bring Sasuke back,
    so they're interfering with us!
**[05:19] ---**
    So that's how it is.
**[05:23] ---**
    You've got to be kidding!
    Well, let 'em try and stop us!
**[05:26] ---**
    I'll kick their butts!
**[05:29] ---**
    Neji! Lee! Tenten! Run!
**[05:34] ---**
    What?!
**[05:36] ---**
    We're gonna run away?!
**[05:37] ---**
    We're going after Sasuke!
**[05:40] ---**
    We can't be engaging in
    one-on-one battles.
**[05:42] ---**
    And that's exactly what they want…
**[05:44] ---**
    So Sasuke can get further
    and further away.
**[05:47] ---**
    You're right.
**[05:52] ---**
    We wasted time.
**[05:53] ---**
    Neji! Can you pinpoint
    Sasuke's position?!
**[05:57] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[06:06] ---**
    This way! We can still
    catch up to him!
**[06:16] ---**
    Now then…
**[06:17] ---**
    We've got to do something
    about that too…
**[06:45] ---**
    Here they come!
**[06:57] ---**
    Damn it… That just cost us
    quite a bit of time!
**[07:11] ---**
    Bushy Brows!
**[07:12] ---**
    Let Lee handle this.
    We have to keep after Sasuke!
**[07:15] ---**
    What're you saying?!
**[07:17] ---**
    We're all going to
    bring Sasuke back!
**[07:23] ---**
    Sorry, Lee, but…
**[07:26] ---**
    I understand!
**[07:27] ---**
    I'll draw these guys in!
**[07:31] ---**
    All of you, go!
**[07:32] ---**
    Go after Sasuke!
**[07:39] ---**
    Let's go!
**[07:56] ---**
    We're going to save Sasuke…
**[07:58] ---**
    and I'm not letting
    a single one of you pass!
**[08:04] ---**
    Shikamaru…
**[08:06] ---**
    You used Lee to hold them back.
**[08:08] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:09] ---**
    Considering what takes precedence,
**[08:11] ---**
    we need to get as close to Sasuke
    as possible.
**[08:14] ---**
    Looks that way…
**[08:18] ---**
    You're not getting away from me!
**[08:33] ---**
    After exchanging blows,
    I realize that you are very strong.
**[08:37] ---**
    And I admire your strength.
**[08:41] ---**
    And so…this opportunity to
    fight you fills me with happiness.
**[08:47] ---**
    I'm not as strong as you say,
**[08:50] ---**
    but I'll give it
    everything I've got.
**[08:57] ---**
    GUTS
    
**[09:07] ---**
    I will also give it my all!
**[09:18] ---**
    The Fifth Gate of Closing… open!
**[09:33] ---**
    Here's what you requested.
**[09:36] ---**
    They seem quite damaged.
**[09:39] ---**
    Yeah… If you're not interested,
    I'll take 'em with me.
**[09:42] ---**
    Of course, I'll take them.
**[09:44] ---**
    *They'll* decide whether
    they're usable or not...
**[09:49] ---**
    If they complain, you tell 'em…
**[09:51] ---**
    These are the better ones.
**[09:54] ---**
    Let's go.
**[10:07] ---**
    Hey!
**[10:10] ---**
    Hey, c'mon!
**[10:18] ---**
    Damn it… They're all so…
**[10:24] ---**
    It doesn't seem like
**[10:27] ---**
    there's been much improvement to
    the Akatsuki's military power.
**[10:31] ---**
    And here we are in a rush.
**[10:34] ---**
    The other corpses were too damaged
    to be of any use.
**[10:39] ---**
    After all the trouble we went through
**[10:41] ---**
    to lure talented Hidden Sand
    that had potential!
**[10:45] ---**
    That's true. The talented ones
    should be handled with care.
**[10:49] ---**
    Exactly!
**[10:51] ---**
    But this idiot set off an explosion
    and blew up all the bodies!
**[10:55] ---**
    Shut up!
**[10:57] ---**
    My explosion isn't just
    an average explosion!
**[10:59] ---**
    It's art!
**[11:01] ---**
    Art, my foot!
**[11:03] ---**
    Fine! Go ahead and criticize me!
**[11:06] ---**
    Enough!
**[11:08] ---**
    What's done is done…
**[11:11] ---**
    Besides…
**[11:12] ---**
    It's not as though
    we don't have other options.
**[11:17] ---**
    Why are you taking Deidara's side?!
**[11:20] ---**
    Remember the Hizashi incident?
**[11:23] ---**
    It can be said that the Akatsuki exists
    thanks to Deidara.
**[11:35] ---**
    Are you thinking of joining up with
    the genin from Hidden Leaf Village?
**[11:39] ---**
    Yeah…
**[11:40] ---**
    Although we're from different villages,
**[11:42] ---**
    I feel like we can
    call them comrades.
**[11:44] ---**
    Perhaps the day will come
    when we'll team up with them.
**[11:50] ---**
    Nagato, what's that?
**[11:53] ---**
    Doesn't it belong to those children?
**[11:54] ---**
    I found it on the road to the village.
**[11:56] ---**
    Since it was chaotic with everyone
    trying to get home,
**[11:59] ---**
    they probably dropped it.
**[12:02] ---**
    They're probably making a fuss
    about missing their stuffed toy.
**[12:06] ---**
    All right, I'll go return it to them.
**[12:09] ---**
    Yahiko?
**[12:10] ---**
    I'll be right back.
    Wait here.
**[12:25] ---**
    Damn it!
**[12:26] ---**
    We get called up for some experiment,
    so we come all the way here…
**[12:30] ---**
    and there's nothing to do?
**[12:32] ---**
    Give me a break!
**[12:39] ---**
    My art is too extravagant and won't be
    of any use for this experiment?!
**[12:44] ---**
    That's bull!
**[12:47] ---**
    Anyone who sees my art will be
    captivated by its brilliance!
**[12:52] ---**
    Fine! I'll give 'em a grand performance!
**[13:19] ---**
    Yahiko…
**[13:35] ---**
    Nagato…
**[14:01] ---**
    Nagato! Nagato, hang on!
**[14:05] ---**
    Why… Why did this happen?
**[14:19] ---**
    Who did this… Was it you?!
**[14:23] ---**
    Was this your doing?
**[14:26] ---**
    No…
**[14:27] ---**
    But we found this in the village.
**[14:42] ---**
    This is…!
**[14:44] ---**
    It's a special kunai the Hidden Leaf's
    Hokage uses for his Flying Raijin Jutsu.
**[14:51] ---**
    This Hokage…of the Hidden…Leaf…?
**[14:55] ---**
    Are you saying the Hokage ordered this?
**[14:58] ---**
    Yeah, probably.
**[15:01] ---**
    For the Hidden Leaf,
**[15:03] ---**
    this was an embarrassing
    and disgraceful incident...
**[15:06] ---**
    They probably wanted it to look like
    this never happened.
**[15:15] ---**
    I'll never forgive him!
**[15:20] ---**
    From that day forward,
**[15:22] ---**
    Nagato and Konan stopped referring to
    themselves as Team Jiraiya.
**[15:27] ---**
    In other words, that was the day
**[15:30] ---**
    that triggered their desire
    for revenge against the Hidden Leaf.
**[15:34] ---**
    Yeah… The greatest motivator
    for humans is revenge.
**[15:40] ---**
    By the way, what's gonna happen
**[15:43] ---**
    once the Akatsuki strengthens
    its military power?
**[15:46] ---**
    Beats me…
    You'd have to ask the guys on top.
**[15:51] ---**
    If there's anyone they want dead, I'll be
    happy to blow them up with my art.
**[15:57] ---**
    Things will start happening in the
    near future.
**[16:01] ---**
    Let's just wait and see.
**[16:15] ---**
    People of Hidden Leaf Village…
**[16:17] ---**
    You must feel the same pain
    that I've experienced.
**[16:22] ---**
    Unless you know the same pain,
**[16:25] ---**
    you can never really understand
    what others have felt.
**[16:33] ---**
    Pain upon the great nation!
**[16:49] ---**
    Hidden Leaf Style…
**[16:53] ---**
    Crescent Moon Dance!
**[17:07] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[17:13] ---**
    *He's gonna get it when*
    *I catch up to him.*
**[17:18] ---**
    *He's not gonna look*
    *so cool when I'm done…*
**[17:22] ---**
    I'll punch his eyes shut
    and make him cry!
**[17:26] ---**
    That jerk!
**[17:29] ---**
    You heard him, Sasuke…
**[17:36] ---**
    *Three left…*
**[17:38] ---**
    *I wish we could weaken*
    *their strength all at once*
**[17:41] ---**
    *before they come at us...*
**[17:44] ---**
    Tenten…
**[17:45] ---**
    I know… This time, I'll…
**[17:48] ---**
    Just draw one of them out.
**[17:50] ---**
    Don't overdo it.
**[17:52] ---**
    Go.
**[18:10] ---**
    *We hurried out…*
    *so these are the only scrolls I have...*
**[19:18] ---**
    *Oh no… This scroll is—!*
**[19:29] ---**
    Moonlit Night!
**[19:44] ---**
    *My survival supply scroll*
    *came in handy!*
**[20:17] ---**
    Soon…
**[20:23] ---**
    I'll have power very soon!
**[20:48] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[20:51] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[20:55] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[22:38] ---**
    So you're Orochimaru?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    What did you do to Sasuke?!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    You're still as annoying as ever...
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Sasuke, I'm here to take you back!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Give me a break!
    What can a loser like you do?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I'll take you back by brute force
    if necessary...
    
    
**[22:56] ---**

    *Collision*
    
    
    
**[01:56] ---**
    There it is!
**[01:57] ---**
    That tower is Sasuke's goal.
**[01:59] ---**
    Where's Sasuke?
**[02:00] ---**
    He's already inside.
**[02:15] ---**
    Our strategy to weaken them one by one
    is making them impatient.
**[02:20] ---**
    Those two plan on
    settling this all at once.
**[02:23] ---**
    There are just two of them,
    but there are three of us!
**[02:26] ---**
    It's no big deal!
**[02:28] ---**
    No, actually, there are
    quite a few problems.
**[02:31] ---**
    Neji, I'm counting on you!
**[02:32] ---**
    I‘ve got it.
**[02:40] ---**
    The three of us can handle
    the two of them!
**[02:45] ---**
    Don't worry, just run!
**[03:02] ---**
    It's useless…
**[03:03] ---**
    The entry to the suspension bridge
    is already
**[03:04] ---**
    within the range of
    my Eight Trigrams.
**[03:07] ---**
    Neither of you can enter this area.
**[03:11] ---**
    I wonder about that.
**[03:23] ---**
    A clone?
**[03:24] ---**
    Damn it!
**[03:27] ---**
    I guess I shouldn't get too greedy,
    because one is my quota…
**[03:30] ---**
    I will not let you pass!
**[03:40] ---**
    Striking Shadow Snakes!
**[03:43] ---**
    Gentle Fist!
**[03:45] ---**
    8 Trigram 2 Palms!
**[03:46] ---**
    4 Palms!
**[03:50] ---**
    8 Palms!
**[03:51] ---**
    16 Palms!
**[03:53] ---**
    32 Palms!
**[03:54] ---**
    64 Palms!
**[04:15] ---**
    He's here!
**[04:18] ---**
    Damn it…from above?
**[04:22] ---**
    Hurry to the entrance!
**[04:37] ---**
    Naruto, are you all right?!
**[04:40] ---**
    Yeah, I'm okay.
**[04:47] ---**
    *Sasuke is up there…*
**[04:50] ---**
    Naruto! Go on ahead!
**[04:52] ---**
    I'll stop him.
**[04:54] ---**
    What are you talking about!
    You're coming with…!
**[04:56] ---**
    No…don't tell me it's because
    I'm the Hokage's son?!
**[05:01] ---**
    That's right…
    You're the Hokage's son.
**[05:07] ---**
    In my own way,
    I've watched you two all this time.
**[05:12] ---**
    The one who can sway Sasuke…
**[05:16] ---**
    The one who can bring
    Sasuke back is you, Naruto.
**[05:19] ---**
    You're the only one
    who can do it.
**[05:21] ---**
    Shikamaru…
**[05:23] ---**
    He's coming! Hurry, Naruto!
**[05:27] ---**
    Yeah!
**[05:29] ---**
    I'm counting on you, Shikamaru!
**[05:47] ---**
    Shadow Possession Jutsu…
    complete.
**[05:50] ---**
    So you're a shadow user…
**[05:52] ---**
    Sorry, but…
**[05:53] ---**
    …you're going to keep me
    company right here.
**[05:57] ---**
    I bear no grudge toward
    any one of you.
**[05:59] ---**
    This is my mission.
**[06:01] ---**
    By the way, did you happen to catch
    what the weather report was today?
**[06:07] ---**
    It's supposed to be cloudy
    with some rain.
**[06:19] ---**
    Damn it,
    this is not my kind of thing.
**[06:41] ---**
    You must be Sasuke.
**[06:43] ---**
    I've been waiting for you.
**[06:45] ---**
    You're Orochimaru…
**[06:47] ---**
    I understand there's something
    you desire very much…
**[06:51] ---**
    It's power!
**[06:53] ---**
    Enough power to be able to
    hold this world within my fist!
**[06:58] ---**
    Such a promising statement.
**[07:23] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[07:24] ---**
    I took a shortcut and
    I've been waiting for you.
**[07:28] ---**
    Just a little farther,
    and I'll catch up to Sasuke!
**[07:31] ---**
    Why are you interfering?!
**[07:34] ---**
    You won't get to Sasuke.
**[07:37] ---**
    I won't let you go any further.
**[07:39] ---**
    Shut up!
**[07:40] ---**
    I won't let Sasuke become a vessel!
**[07:49] ---**
    *This chakra is…*
**[07:57] ---**
    You want it, don't you, kid?
**[07:59] ---**
    You want my power.
**[08:17] ---**
    *Four tails…so suddenly?*
**[08:19] ---**
    *How can this be?*
**[08:36] ---**
    Hokage Style Elder Jutsu:
    Tenth Edict on Enlightenment!
**[08:56] ---**
    What? Is this even possible?
**[09:05] ---**
    The fifth tail?!
**[09:18] ---**
    Power…
**[09:19] ---**
    Hurry and give me power…
**[09:23] ---**
    How impatient…
**[10:02] ---**
    *He stopped…*
**[10:05] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[10:09] ---**
    You can't do that after
    coming this far.
**[10:12] ---**
    You need my power, don't you?
**[10:15] ---**
    I don't need power.
**[10:17] ---**
    I just want to talk to Sasuke.
**[10:19] ---**
    So can you back off right now?
**[11:11] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[11:14] ---**
    What happened to you?
**[11:17] ---**
    That's amazing, Sasuke.
**[11:20] ---**
    Your body is already adapting
    to the power.
**[11:24] ---**
    You must be Orochimaru!
**[11:26] ---**
    W-What did you do to Sasuke?!
**[11:31] ---**
    I fulfilled Sasuke's desire,
    that's all.
**[11:35] ---**
    What did you say?
**[11:37] ---**
    You're still annoying as ever…
**[11:39] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[11:41] ---**
    I'm here to bring you back!
**[11:45] ---**
    Give me a break!
    What can a loser like you do?
**[11:50] ---**
    I'll bring you back by force,
    if necessary…
**[11:52] ---**
    Just try it.
**[11:53] ---**
    I'm not going to lose to you!
**[11:59] ---**
    I feel a surge of power…
**[12:14] ---**
    *What is this power?*
**[12:16] ---**
    *This is different…even compared*
    *to the other day!*
**[12:20] ---**
    Don't you get it, Sasuke?!
**[12:22] ---**
    Orochimaru is…
**[12:24] ---**
    trying to make you his!
**[12:28] ---**
    It's power!
**[12:29] ---**
    As long as I have power,
    that doesn't matter to me!
**[12:35] ---**
    Chidori Stream!
**[12:47] ---**
    *Change in Chakra Form*
    *comes so easily…*
**[12:50] ---**
    *This power…*
**[12:52] ---**
    I'll show you the enormous
    difference in my power!
**[12:57] ---**
    All right…I'll show you too!
**[13:01] ---**
    What power is…!
**[13:05] ---**
    *Well, how about it?*
**[13:08] ---**
    It should be fully infused by now.
**[13:16] ---**
    Get ready, Sasuke!
**[13:19] ---**
    *What?*
**[13:20] ---**
    *What happened to him?*
**[13:27] ---**
    *Just plain taijutsu? Is that all?*
**[13:31] ---**
    *What?*
**[13:32] ---**
    *I thought I dodged it*
    *with my Sharingan…!*
**[13:45] ---**
    This boy…
**[13:46] ---**
    used Nature Energy…
**[13:49] ---**
    This is…
**[13:52] ---**
    It's Sage Mode!
**[13:59] ---**
    *All this power…*
**[14:04] ---**
    Naruto!
**[14:05] ---**
    Why do you…?!
**[14:07] ---**
    Why does it always have to be you?!
**[14:09] ---**
    Stop saying nonsense
    and let's go home.
**[14:14] ---**
    *I see…*
**[14:15] ---**
    *That power has a time limit.*
**[14:19] ---**
    *Well then…*
**[14:20] ---**
    Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!
**[14:33] ---**
    You disgust me, Naruto…
**[14:36] ---**
    Get lost!
**[14:54] ---**
    Disappear along with the thunder!
**[15:16] ---**
    You lost focus, didn't you?
**[15:18] ---**
    Your real target is over here.
**[15:21] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[15:22] ---**
    You'd really do this…
**[15:27] ---**
    …to me?
**[15:30] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[15:33] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[15:35] ---**
    I've always thought that
    you and I were alike.
**[15:39] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[15:41] ---**
    I'm the Hokage's son.
**[15:44] ---**
    You're the son of
    the Leaf's Police Force Chief,
**[15:46] ---**
    from the prestigious Uchiha Clan.
**[15:49] ---**
    We both grew up constantly
    being compared to our dads…
**[15:55] ---**
    How hard it is to live under
    someone's shadow…
**[15:58] ---**
    to always be watched by others…
**[16:02] ---**
    I thought you were the one person
    who understood all that.
**[16:09] ---**
    Even though our situations
    were the same,
**[16:11] ---**
    you were totally different…
**[16:12] ---**
    You kept progressing and
    getting better…
**[16:16] ---**
    At first, I was frustrated.
**[16:18] ---**
    But then, I was proud of you.
**[16:21] ---**
    That's why I decided to do
    my best and be like you.
**[16:26] ---**
    You've been my role model
    all this time!
**[16:30] ---**
    Well, I'm different.
**[16:32] ---**
    You should've just stayed the same.
**[16:35] ---**
    Why couldn't you have
    just stayed a loser?
**[16:38] ---**
    The weak and useless son
    of the Hokage?!
**[16:41] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[16:42] ---**
    Even you…even you had
    to become strong…
**[16:47] ---**
    You don't know how much
    that made me…!
**[16:49] ---**
    Is that why…
**[16:51] ---**
    Is that why you sought power?!
**[16:54] ---**
    That's right, Naruto!
**[16:56] ---**
    The power to bring you down!
**[17:03] ---**
    You're the one…
**[17:05] ---**
    who's a loser.
**[17:09] ---**
    *W-What is this*
    *red chakra…*
**[17:12] ---**
    *He still has power like this?!*
**[17:17] ---**
    Naruto…
**[17:19] ---**
    His power is levels above this.
**[17:22] ---**
    You have no choice
    but to use my power.
**[17:33] ---**
    I'm gonna stop you
**[17:34] ---**
    even if I have to break every bone
    in your arms and legs!
**[17:37] ---**
    Just what are you?!
**[17:41] ---**
    I'm your friend!
**[17:45] ---**
    That's why I'm saying I'm never gonna
    let Orochimaru have you!
**[17:59] ---**
    Fine, I acknowledge you.
**[18:01] ---**
    I'll fight you as an equal from now.
**[18:04] ---**
    However, you won't be able to put
    a single mark on my headband.
**[18:13] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[18:30] ---**
    Rasengan!
**[18:31] ---**
    Chidori!
**[18:47] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[18:50] ---**
    I came to bring you back,
**[18:53] ---**
    but it seems I'm a little late.
**[18:56] ---**
    No way!
**[18:58] ---**
    Naruto…
**[19:00] ---**
    Naruto, please get along
    with my little brother.
**[19:09] ---**
    Forgive me, Sasuke.
**[20:33] ---**
    That was quite entertaining.
**[22:37] ---**
    W-What is that?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    As you can see, it's something that
    defies the boundaries of reality…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Neji, is everyone in the village safe?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Can you confirm what that big thing
    is with your Byakugan?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I'm already doing that!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Another Moon"
    
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    I don't know what kind of jutsu that is,
    but I'll undo it!

**[00:21] ---**
    Naruto!
**[00:27] ---**
    He's regained consciousness!
**[00:29] ---**
    Thank goodness.
**[00:30] ---**
    What? Where am I?
**[00:33] ---**
    Is everyone okay?
**[00:35] ---**
    We're on our way back
    to the village.
**[00:38] ---**
    For some reason,
    the enemy retreated.
**[00:41] ---**
    Even though we were
    at a disadvantage…
**[00:44] ---**
    Their goal was to deliver
    Sasuke to Orochimaru.
**[00:49] ---**
    Yeah, but that's just a hunch.
**[00:51] ---**
    Huh? Where's Sasuke?
**[00:54] ---**
    What happened to Sasuke?!
**[00:56] ---**
    When I caught up,
    I only found you unconscious.
**[01:02] ---**
    Sorry…
**[01:03] ---**
    I couldn't track them due to the rain.
**[01:07] ---**
    I see…
**[01:17] ---**
    But…
**[01:18] ---**
    I promised Sakura.
**[01:23] ---**
    Take it easy!
**[01:24] ---**
    No, I can't just lie around.
**[03:08] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*

**[03:12] ---**
    I've sent Kotetsu and Izumo home.
**[03:14] ---**
    But just to be safe,
    Kakashi will remain overnight.
**[03:18] ---**
    I see…That's a relief.
**[03:22] ---**
    Urgent news!
**[03:23] ---**
    Someone has infiltrated the village!
**[03:40] ---**
    You're—!
**[03:43] ---**
    It's been a while, Lady Tsunade.
**[03:46] ---**
    Do you know him?
**[03:48] ---**
    You're the boy Jiraiya saved
    and took care of…
**[03:50] ---**
    from the Hidden Rain Village.
**[03:52] ---**
    You're Yahiko, right?
**[03:56] ---**
    So you remember me…
**[03:58] ---**
    I am called Pain now.
**[04:01] ---**
    Yahiko?!
**[04:02] ---**
    The one from the Hizashi incident
    three years ago?!
**[04:05] ---**
    Why did you sneak in?
**[04:08] ---**
    Our pain is twofold…
**[04:11] ---**
    Firstly, from the Five Great Nations
**[04:13] ---**
    and the Five Great Villages…
**[04:15] ---**
    The pain of being trampled
    by all of you…
**[04:18] ---**
    the physical pain of
    the people you killed.
**[04:20] ---**
    Secondly, from the pain
    in our hearts caused
**[04:23] ---**
    by the Hidden Leaf's betrayal.
**[04:29] ---**
    And now, our pain will become
    the entire world's pain.
**[04:32] ---**
    What?
**[04:42] ---**
    True Planetary Devastation!
**[06:09] ---**
    What is that?!
**[06:12] ---**
    Shikamaru, explain it to me!
**[06:15] ---**
    As you can see…
**[06:18] ---**
    it's something that defies
    the boundaries of reality.
**[06:22] ---**
    Hey Neji! Is everyone
    in the village safe?
**[06:26] ---**
    Can you confirm what's inside
    that big thing with your Byakugan?
**[06:30] ---**
    Yeah, I'm already on it.
**[06:37] ---**
    I'm starting to see chakra and it seems
    to be coming from the villagers.
**[06:41] ---**
    So they're okay?!
**[06:43] ---**
    Yeah… But I'm not positive.
**[06:48] ---**
    Why that—!
**[06:51] ---**
    Naruto!
**[06:52] ---**
    What do you think you're doing,
    in your condition?!
**[06:54] ---**
    I don't know what kind of
    jutsu that is, but I'll undo it!
**[07:00] ---**
    Sakura, you're okay!
**[07:02] ---**
    I was out on a mission…
**[07:05] ---**
    What happened here?
**[07:08] ---**
    We don't know!
**[07:11] ---**
    Anyway, we have to find
    the guy who did this
**[07:14] ---**
    and rescue everyone!
**[07:15] ---**
    That's crazy!
**[07:16] ---**
    You shouldn't move
    in your condition!
**[07:17] ---**
    But everyone's inside that thing!
**[07:20] ---**
    We can't just sit back
    and twiddle our thumbs!
**[07:25] ---**
    Sit over there!
**[07:27] ---**
    Just sit down!
**[07:31] ---**
    You need to recover first!
**[07:38] ---**
    *All right, I'll use this time to—*
**[07:54] ---**
    What?! What's happening?!
**[07:56] ---**
    It seems the power supply was cut off
**[07:57] ---**
    and the emergency back-up
    system was activated.
**[08:09] ---**
    *I can't teleport outside of the village?*
**[08:17] ---**
    The wall…is closing in?!
**[08:19] ---**
    At this rate—!
**[08:21] ---**
    *A simple Earth Style will do!*
**[08:23] ---**
    *Use a rock pillar as a support…*
    *to stop it from closing in!*
**[08:28] ---**
    *The Akimichi Clan will use,*
    *their Super Expansion Jutsu*
**[08:31] ---**
    *to push the wall back!*
**[08:56] ---**
    I'll do whatever it takes
    to hold it back!
**[09:02] ---**
    The priority of the Leaf Police
    is to ensure the safety of all residents!
**[09:06] ---**
    Now go!
**[09:14] ---**
    We will protect
    the Hidden Leaf Village!
**[09:16] ---**
    Stop the wall,
    no matter what it takes!
**[09:29] ---**
    A physical attack has
    absolutely no effect!
**[09:47] ---**
    Everyone reacted swiftly…
**[09:51] ---**
    Minato!
**[09:53] ---**
    This is a special Sealing Jutsu!
**[09:55] ---**
    If this continues,
**[09:57] ---**
    everyone will be crushed
    by the mass of stone.
**[10:00] ---**
    Everyone is pushing it back,
**[10:02] ---**
    but it's only a matter of time…
**[10:04] ---**
    We have to do something
    about the jutsu caster…
**[10:08] ---**
    *Lord Fourth!*
**[10:13] ---**
    I have an idea.
**[10:15] ---**
    Kushina, please stay here
    with these two.
**[10:19] ---**
    Flying Raijin Jutsu!
**[10:32] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[10:33] ---**
    Is that you, Minato?
**[10:35] ---**
    This is a sealing attack
    by the enemy.
**[10:37] ---**
    Unless this jutsu is countered
    with a jutsu of equal strength,
**[10:41] ---**
    everyone will be crushed.
**[10:44] ---**
    As I thought…
**[10:46] ---**
    I was thinking about using
    the Four Crimson Ray Formation.
**[10:50] ---**
    If you would help me,
    Lord Hiruzen…
**[10:52] ---**
    All right.
**[11:00] ---**
    Lord Fourth, Tsunade possesses powers
    equal to that of a Hokage.
**[11:06] ---**
    That makes three.
    The Four Crimson Ray Formation…
**[11:10] ---**
    Kushina has
    the Nine Tails' chakra.
**[11:13] ---**
    And she has more experience
    with Sealing Jutsu
**[11:15] ---**
    than anyone here,
    rivaling that of a Hokage…
**[11:19] ---**
    But the Four Crimson Ray Formation
**[11:22] ---**
    is no match for this powerful
    Sealing Jutsu…
**[11:25] ---**
    Even a Tailed Beast would
    have a difficult time suppressing it.
**[11:33] ---**
    But we don't have time!
**[11:35] ---**
    If we combine our strength
**[11:37] ---**
    with everyone who is pushing
    back the wall,
**[11:39] ---**
    at least we can buy some time!
**[11:41] ---**
    Buy time, then what?
**[11:42] ---**
    Unless we do something
    about the jutsu itself,
**[11:44] ---**
    this doesn't solve anything…
**[11:45] ---**
    We'll think of something definitive
    during that time.
**[11:48] ---**
    Please get to each of
    the four points of the village.
**[11:50] ---**
    All right!
**[11:52] ---**
    Shizune, go tend to the wounded!
**[11:55] ---**
    Understood!
**[12:09] ---**
    – Four Crimson Ray Formation!
    – Four Crimson Ray Formation!
**[12:31] ---**
    *All right, everyone, hang in there…*
**[12:34] ---**
    *If we can buy time, there's hope.*
**[12:57] ---**
    Thanks to you Sakura,
    I'm fully recovered!
**[13:08] ---**
    Why that—!
**[13:10] ---**
    Hey wait, Naruto!
**[13:12] ---**
    You've just recovered!
**[13:14] ---**
    He's hopeless.
**[13:17] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[13:25] ---**
    Are you the ones
    who wrecked the village?!
**[13:37] ---**
    First off, I'm gonna beat up
    each one of you, then we'll talk!
**[13:45] ---**
    That guy?!
**[13:47] ---**
    Naruto! That guy's Yahiko!
**[13:50] ---**
    From Team Jiraiya.
**[13:52] ---**
    You destroyed that village,
**[13:53] ---**
    and you still call yourselves
    pupils of Pervy Sage—?
**[13:56] ---**
    We're the Akatsuki.
**[13:58] ---**
    I'm Tendo Pain.
**[14:02] ---**
    We cast off the name Jiraiya
**[14:04] ---**
    the moment the Hokage
    of the Hidden Leaf
**[14:06] ---**
    burned that village and
    everything inside of it to the ground…
**[14:10] ---**
    In order to hide the injustice
    that occurred there.
**[14:13] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[14:15] ---**
    You're the ones who
    destroyed that village!
**[14:17] ---**
    We have proof.
**[14:19] ---**
    All that's left is to render judgment…
**[14:22] ---**
    for the pain caused to the weak!
**[14:28] ---**
    The pain of death, of my friends…
    my precious friends…
**[14:34] ---**
    The people of the Hidden Leaf Village
    and the Hokage
**[14:38] ---**
    will get to taste pain!
**[14:43] ---**
    I'll settle this!
**[14:53] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:03] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[15:07] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:09] ---**
    Why not?
**[15:10] ---**
    He's not an opponent
    that we can deal with…
**[15:15] ---**
    However, Naruto…
**[15:31] ---**
    Amazing!
**[15:32] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[15:37] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[15:45] ---**
    – Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!
    – Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!
**[15:49] ---**
    No doubt…
    The dimensions are different.
**[15:51] ---**
    But I can't just stand here
    watching this!
**[15:54] ---**
    If there's an opportunity,
    we should assist!
**[16:00] ---**
    I see…
**[16:01] ---**
    You know Sage Jutsu.
**[16:03] ---**
    You've mastered the same jutsu
    as Jiraiya Sensei.
**[16:07] ---**
    You're no pupil of Pervy Sage!
**[16:11] ---**
    I'll pulverize you!
**[16:13] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[16:19] ---**
    Sage Art: Rasen Shuriken!
**[16:45] ---**
    *As I suspected…*
**[16:46] ---**
    *Sage Mode lasts no more*
    *than five minutes.*
**[16:56] ---**
    What?!
**[16:58] ---**
    Universal Pull!
**[17:10] ---**
    *This guy…*
**[17:11] ---**
    *He's taking my Sage Art Chakra…*
**[17:14] ---**
    *Just perfect.*
**[17:41] ---**
    *What was that?*
    *Was someone watching?*
**[17:44] ---**
    Will this make you behave,
    my sibling pupil?
**[17:49] ---**
    Naruto! I'm coming to help you!
**[17:52] ---**
    Almighty Push!
**[17:56] ---**
    Lee!
**[18:07] ---**
    I won't let you touch Naruto!
**[18:10] ---**
    That's right! Hinata was on a mission
    outside the village!
**[18:13] ---**
    Why'd you come?!
**[18:15] ---**
    Hurry, get away!
**[18:16] ---**
    You'll only end up…
**[18:18] ---**
    I'm not afraid of dying,
    to protect Naruto.
**[18:24] ---**
    Naruto is my—
**[18:27] ---**
    Almighty Push…
**[18:32] ---**
    I've experienced this
    countless times.
**[18:34] ---**
    People who are dear to me dying,
**[18:37] ---**
    right before my very eyes,
**[18:38] ---**
    so close I could feel their breath…
**[18:42] ---**
    Share in my pain!
**[18:50] ---**
    It was just like this…
**[18:52] ---**
    My parents were killed
    before my very eyes,
**[18:55] ---**
    by you Hidden Leaf Shinobi…
**[19:02] ---**
    *The Nine Tails' power…*
**[19:04] ---**
    *It seems to respond*
    *to Naruto's anger.*
**[19:08] ---**
    Do you hate me?
**[19:18] ---**
    That's fine…
**[19:20] ---**
    However, my pain is even
    greater than yours!
**[19:26] ---**
    Almighty Push!
**[19:43] ---**
    You overcame my Almighty Push…
**[19:45] ---**
    And in the recoil, I was—!
**[19:48] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[19:54] ---**
    There's six tails!
**[20:05] ---**
    Universal Pull!
**[20:17] ---**
    *The power of the Nine Tails*
    *is magnificent.*
**[20:33] ---**
    Planetary Devastation!
**[22:38] ---**
    What? Something inside me is…
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Kushina, what's wrong?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    The Nine Tails…
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I can usually keep it stabilized,
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    but it's irritated and unsettled now.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Is it because you're expending
    so much chakra
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    for the Four Crimson Rays?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    That's not it, ya know!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    I can feel it as well…

    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *Comrade*
    
    
    
**[01:53] ---**
    It barely missed a vital spot.
    I think she'll be all right.
**[02:03] ---**
    Naruto…
**[02:11] ---**
    Damn it!
**[02:23] ---**
    How dare you…
**[02:25] ---**
    How dare you!
**[02:29] ---**
    This is unforgivable!
    I'll—!
**[02:34] ---**
    Hey, monster fox!
    Lend me some more of your power!
**[02:38] ---**
    I'll shatter this wall of rock
    to pieces!
**[02:43] ---**
    This seal is in a different league.
**[02:46] ---**
    It will be difficult to break
    even with my power.
**[02:50] ---**
    Besides, you're not able to
    control my power properly yet.
**[02:56] ---**
    You're drowning in your anger.
**[02:59] ---**
    Shut up!
**[03:12] ---**
    Don't give up, everyone!
**[03:14] ---**
    *However, it's probably impossible to*
    *completely stop the compression.*
**[03:19] ---**
    *Ultimately…*
**[03:20] ---**
    *For now, I want to*
    *put my trust in them.*
**[03:23] ---**
    *"Them?"*
**[03:24] ---**
    *What?*
**[03:27] ---**
    *Something inside of me is…*
**[03:28] ---**
    *Kushina, what's wrong?*
**[03:30] ---**
    *The Nine Tails…*
**[03:32] ---**
    *I can usually keep it stabilized*
**[03:36] ---**
    *but it's irritated and*
    *unsettled now.*
**[03:38] ---**
    *Is it because you're expending*
    *so much chakra*
**[03:40] ---**
    *for the Four Crimson Rays?*
**[03:42] ---**
    *That's not it, ya know!*
**[03:44] ---**
    *I can feel it as well…*
**[03:46] ---**
    *There's something happening*
    *to the other Nine Tails.*
**[03:49] ---**
    *Naruto?*
**[03:50] ---**
    *Ino, contact those on the outside!*
**[03:54] ---**
    *I need to find out*
    *what's going on over there!*
**[03:55] ---**
    Right, Lord Fourth!
**[03:57] ---**
    *Shikamaru!*
**[03:59] ---**
    *Can you hear me?*
**[04:00] ---**
    *Is that you, Ino?!*
    *How are things on your side?*
**[04:02] ---**
    *It's not good, but we're managing.*
**[04:05] ---**
    *Anyways, let me know*
    *what's going on out there!*
**[04:07] ---**
    *Okay. Over here, Naruto…*
    *and uh, well…Yahiko…*
**[04:13] ---**
    *The enemy used a jutsu*
    *to trap him in a moon-like seal,*
**[04:16] ---**
    *like what happened to the village.*
**[04:17] ---**
    *Naruto was?*
    *Naruto's been sealed?*
**[04:23] ---**
    *Yes…*
**[04:24] ---**
    *Naruto went into Nine Tails State*
    *and went on a rampage…*
**[04:28] ---**
    *So the enemy pulled rocks*
    *from the ground,*
**[04:31] ---**
    *hardened them and*
    *sealed him away.*
**[04:34] ---**
    *Sealed even in Nine Tails State?*
**[04:39] ---**
    *Kushina!*
**[04:43] ---**
    *He still doesn't have*
    *enough strength or chakra…*
**[04:47] ---**
    *No way! You can't!*
    *If you do that, Kushina, you'll—!*
**[04:54] ---**
    *Naruto is my son.*
**[04:56] ---**
    *I'm his mother.*
**[04:59] ---**
    *In order to save you,*
    *and the people of the village…*
**[05:03] ---**
    *In order to do that…*
**[05:05] ---**
    *But…then…*
**[05:08] ---**
    *…I'll…*
**[05:12] ---**
    *All right.*
**[05:14] ---**
    *I know that once you make up*
    *your mind, you don't listen to anyone.*
**[05:17] ---**
    *I'm sorry, Minato.*
**[05:19] ---**
    *But I'm the only one*
    *who can save Naruto.*
**[05:27] ---**
    Give me your power!
**[05:30] ---**
    Looking at you, I can't tell which
    one of us is the one in a cage…
**[05:36] ---**
    How can you stay so calm?
    If this continues, we'll all—!
**[05:41] ---**
    No, never mind.
    I just want to defeat that guy!
**[05:51] ---**
    Mom?
    How come you're—?
**[05:57] ---**
    Why are you so angry?
**[05:59] ---**
    "Why?"
**[06:01] ---**
    Well, that guy who blew up
    that other village
**[06:04] ---**
    got you, Dad,
    and everyone in our village!
**[06:07] ---**
    Oh yeah, and he even got Hinata…
**[06:10] ---**
    I can't forgive that guy…
**[06:16] ---**
    If you stay angry, you'll never
    be able to use your power properly,
**[06:19] ---**
    no matter how strong you are.
**[06:22] ---**
    Calm down and check in on
    how everyone is doing.
**[06:26] ---**
    You should be able to
    sense them now.
**[06:29] ---**
    Huh?
**[06:34] ---**
    The people of the village,
    everyone, is inside fighting.
**[06:44] ---**
    Hinata!
**[06:52] ---**
    Thank goodness! She's alive.
**[06:55] ---**
    Okay, so there's one less thing
    to get angry about, right?
**[06:58] ---**
    When you're nice it's kind of
    off-putting, ya know, Mom!
**[07:01] ---**
    When you're angry, you can't handle
    the Nine Tails' power, ya know!
**[07:08] ---**
    Mom! The Nine Tails is—!
**[07:19] ---**
    Huh?
    What's going on?
**[07:21] ---**
    Long ago…
**[07:23] ---**
    When the Nine Tails
    attacked the village…
**[07:25] ---**
    Minato sealed half of
    the Nine Tails inside of me,
**[07:28] ---**
    and the other half in you,
    who had just been born.
**[07:32] ---**
    He believed that in time,
    this power would be helpful to you.
**[07:36] ---**
    But everyone hated me so much…
    all because of this monster fox…
**[07:42] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[07:44] ---**
    Both Minato and I had faith
    that in time,
**[07:47] ---**
    you would be able to control
    this tremendous power.
**[07:52] ---**
    So what do I do?
**[07:54] ---**
    What must I do to use
    this power properly?!
**[07:56] ---**
    Like I said, don't get mad.
**[07:58] ---**
    And pay close attention
    to what people tell you.
**[08:01] ---**
    And then think about what
    the right way is to use this power.
**[08:06] ---**
    You need a strong will
    to wield strong power.
**[08:10] ---**
    "A strong will?"
**[08:13] ---**
    That's why…
**[08:14] ---**
    I use the Nine Tails Chakra
    with a strong will.
**[08:19] ---**
    Mom…
**[08:20] ---**
    I'm going to pass on
    my Nine Tails Chakra to you.
**[08:23] ---**
    Yin and Yang…
**[08:24] ---**
    When the two chakra become one,
**[08:26] ---**
    I'm sure we'll be able to
    get out of here.
**[08:28] ---**
    What are you saying?
    You're a Jinchuriki too.
**[08:32] ---**
    If the Nine Tails leaves
    your body,
**[08:36] ---**
    you'll die.
**[08:38] ---**
    No! I'm going to make
    my power and my will live…
**[08:43] ---**
    I don't understand
    what you're saying!
**[08:46] ---**
    That's why I said to think.
    Lord Jiraiya used to say…
**[08:48] ---**
    That you might be
    the Child of Prophecy
**[08:52] ---**
    who will save
    the future of shinobi.
**[08:56] ---**
    Child of Prophecy?
**[08:58] ---**
    Your will is going to
    save the village…
**[09:02] ---**
    Mom…
**[09:05] ---**
    You are Minato's and
    my precious son…
**[09:10] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[09:11] ---**
    This is the only way.
**[09:14] ---**
    Half will do.
**[09:15] ---**
    Half is more than enough, right?
**[09:19] ---**
    That side seems pretty cozy,
**[09:22] ---**
    so I wouldn't mind
    going over there…
**[09:25] ---**
    We might have to do this
    again someday too…
**[09:28] ---**
    Nine Tails!
    All right!
**[09:51] ---**
    Mom!
**[09:53] ---**
    I'm leaving the village
    in your hands!
**[10:00] ---**
    *Kushina!*
    *Are you all right?!*
**[10:03] ---**
    Naruto! Go!
**[10:17] ---**
    What?
**[10:26] ---**
    Almighty Push!
**[10:42] ---**
    You're not in here, right?
**[10:46] ---**
    I only have business with the real you.
    I want to talk to you, face to face!
**[10:50] ---**
    I want to hear
    your side of the story!
**[10:54] ---**
    You're around, aren't you?
    Not here, but somewhere close by!
**[11:12] ---**
    There you are!
**[11:39] ---**
    Konan, get back.
**[11:41] ---**
    Nagato!
**[11:43] ---**
    It's all right.
**[11:53] ---**
    The one in the back
    is the real Pain?
**[11:55] ---**
    So the strong has come
    to punish the weak?
**[12:00] ---**
    You're the one manipulating
    those other Pains?
**[12:05] ---**
    The last Pain you beat was Yahiko.
**[12:08] ---**
    Yahiko?
**[12:10] ---**
    He's no longer of this world.
**[12:13] ---**
    He died three years ago
    in that village.
**[12:15] ---**
    You killed him.
**[12:17] ---**
    He's—?
**[12:22] ---**
    I see…
**[12:25] ---**
    But we're not the ones
    who blew up your village!
**[12:28] ---**
    Back then, the Hidden Leaf,
**[12:29] ---**
    fearing a scandal, destroyed
    that village to cover it up.
**[12:36] ---**
    That's how the Great Nations
    save face.
**[12:39] ---**
    I supposed it's the obvious measure
**[12:40] ---**
    to avoid being ridiculed
    by other villages.
**[12:43] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[12:44] ---**
    Until now, we thought
    you guys were behind it.
**[12:48] ---**
    It doesn't matter anymore
    about who thought what.
**[12:53] ---**
    It doesn't change the fact that
**[12:54] ---**
    my comrade Yahiko
    was killed in that incident.
**[12:59] ---**
    Comrade?
**[13:03] ---**
    No doubt about it…
    Losing a comrade is tough.
**[13:10] ---**
    Right now my friend is in danger of
**[13:12] ---**
    being turned into
    Orochimaru's vessel.
**[13:14] ---**
    It's a dangerous situation.
**[13:16] ---**
    We've been rivals since we
    were kids, and we trained together.
**[13:20] ---**
    He's an important comrade.
**[13:25] ---**
    Yahiko was an important
    comrade to us too.
**[13:29] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[13:31] ---**
    Is going through a rough time,
**[13:33] ---**
    and he set out for
    Orochimaru's on his own.
**[13:37] ---**
    I just have this feeling that he'd
    understand if we exchanged fists…
**[13:41] ---**
    As his friend, I want him
    to have one more chance…
**[13:45] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[13:49] ---**
    That's right…
**[13:51] ---**
    We're friends, so we should be
    able to come to an understanding.
**[13:55] ---**
    That's why I'll never give up!
**[14:01] ---**
    *I'll never give up!*
**[14:02] ---**
    *We keep being tossed around*
    *by the Great Nations…*
**[14:05] ---**
    *But we'll rescue people like us*
    *who are suffering*
**[14:08] ---**
    *and make them our friends…*
**[14:10] ---**
    *That's right! That's it!*
**[14:14] ---**
    *We'll make them all our friends.*
**[14:16] ---**
    *Then we'll be able to*
    *come to an understanding*
**[14:19] ---**
    *without having to fight.*
**[14:21] ---**
    *We won't have to have wars!*
**[14:23] ---**
    *That's why we just have to make*
    *Team Jiraiya bigger and bigger!*
**[14:31] ---**
    Nagato?
**[14:34] ---**
    'Cuz if I give up, there's no way
    I can become the Hokage!
**[14:41] ---**
    I'll become the Hokage
**[14:42] ---**
    and become friends with shinobi
    from lots of different places…
**[14:45] ---**
    No, not just with shinobi,
    but with the kids too!
**[14:48] ---**
    Anyways…
**[14:50] ---**
    If we're friends, fights like this
    don't have to happen!
**[14:54] ---**
    Is this…
    A coincidence?
**[14:58] ---**
    *We just have to become*
    *friends with everyone…*
**[15:00] ---**
    *Then we'll be able to*
    *come to an understanding*
**[15:02] ---**
    *without having to fight.*
**[15:05] ---**
    You won't have to fight either!
**[15:10] ---**
    Anyways, I'm not asking you
    to be my friend…
**[15:14] ---**
    But for starters,
    let me join Team Jiraiya.
**[15:18] ---**
    I mean,
    I was also Pervy Sage's student…
**[15:24] ---**
    *I'm not asking you to be my friend…*
    *I don't care if you stay with the Leaf.*
**[15:28] ---**
    *I want our aspirations*
    *to be united…with yours.*
**[15:32] ---**
    What are you?
**[15:36] ---**
    Nagato…
**[15:38] ---**
    I'm asking you to let me
    join Team Pervy Sage.
**[15:41] ---**
    But before that I have to
    save Sasuke and…
**[15:44] ---**
    save my comrades in the village.
**[15:47] ---**
    I will take on Pervy Sage's will.
**[15:52] ---**
    It's Team Jiraiya!
**[15:55] ---**
    You're very mysterious.
    You two really are alike.
**[16:02] ---**
    You're right.
**[16:09] ---**
    Release…
**[16:11] ---**
    What did you just do?
**[16:13] ---**
    I released the jutsu.
**[16:33] ---**
    You're a mystery.
**[16:36] ---**
    The things you say…
**[16:38] ---**
    It's almost like someone
    planned all this…
**[16:49] ---**
    No, In fact, maybe Sensei—!
**[17:02] ---**
    Anyway,
    whether or not you're suitable
**[17:04] ---**
    to become a member
    of Team Jiraiya…
**[17:07] ---**
    Depends on if you can
    save that friend of yours…
**[17:12] ---**
    Yahiko was a man who held
    his friends in high regard.
**[17:18] ---**
    If you're like him…then we can…
**[17:24] ---**
    …definitely be friends.
**[17:29] ---**
    I'll prove it. I'll save him!
**[17:35] ---**
    Your command of
    the Leaf Police Force was exemplary.
**[17:39] ---**
    Thanks to you,
    there were no casualties.
**[17:41] ---**
    I'm very grateful.
**[17:44] ---**
    Oh no…
**[17:45] ---**
    It was an emergency and I just did
    what was expected of a Leaf Shinobi.
**[17:51] ---**
    That aside, your son has developed
    into a fine young man.
**[17:55] ---**
    Whereas, I have failed as a parent.
**[17:59] ---**
    We're continuing to search
    for the two of them.
**[18:02] ---**
    Regretfully, we haven't
    gotten any hopeful leads.
**[18:07] ---**
    All this for Itachi and Sasuke…
**[18:08] ---**
    Your support and that of the village,
    Lord Fourth, humble me.
**[18:12] ---**
    I'm just suffering the consequences
    of my own actions.
**[18:15] ---**
    Perhaps,
    I only paid attention to Itachi.
**[18:18] ---**
    I'm sure Sasuke suffered,
**[18:21] ---**
    being constantly compared
    to his talented older brother.
**[18:25] ---**
    Mr. Fugaku…
**[18:28] ---**
    I keep seeing images
    of them together, getting along.
**[18:32] ---**
    I wish I could see them once more
    during my lifetime…
**[18:37] ---**
    Yes!
**[18:45] ---**
    *This Chakra Nature!*
**[18:48] ---**
    *But, I've never seen this Change*
    *in Chakra Form before.*
**[18:53] ---**
    Who is it?
**[19:16] ---**
    Poison?
**[19:37] ---**
    You're—!
    From back then!
**[19:43] ---**
    Itachi's your older brother, right?
**[19:47] ---**
    We are the Akatsuki.
**[19:48] ---**
    We've had our eyes on you
    since you went to Orochimaru.
**[19:53] ---**
    That's why we saved you…
    so a word of gratitude would be nice.
**[20:00] ---**
    Did you kill your brother?
**[20:03] ---**
    Why you—!
**[20:05] ---**
    You kept shouting deliriously…
**[20:08] ---**
    So it was easy to figure out.
**[20:10] ---**
    Get lost.
**[20:11] ---**
    Why did your brother have to die?
**[20:16] ---**
    The ones who should have died,
    didn't die.
**[20:20] ---**
    Naruto!
**[20:21] ---**
    Are you going to forgive them?
**[20:24] ---**
    *Forgive me, Sasuke.*
**[20:37] ---**
    This irony…
**[20:40] ---**
    This contradiction…
    Why don't you make it right?
**[20:44] ---**
    The Akatsuki will lend you a hand.
**[20:47] ---**
    Now tell me.
    What is it that you want to do?
**[20:52] ---**
    I have one goal…
**[20:55] ---**
    To destroy the ones who are
    controlling the Uchiha…
**[21:02] ---**
    To destroy the Hidden Leaf!
**[22:38] ---**
    Orochimaru's dead.
    And it seems Sasuke Uchiha did it.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    What about Sasuke? Is he safe?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Yeah, he is.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    But we've received intel
    that he's targeting
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    each and every Shinobi Village,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    alongside jonin level Rogue Ninja,
    the Akatsuki.

**[00:05] ---**
    Excuse me!
**[00:07] ---**
    Enter.
**[00:13] ---**
    Everyone's here.
**[00:16] ---**
    Huh?
**[00:17] ---**
    Where's my dad?
**[00:18] ---**
    Representatives from each village
**[00:21] ---**
    have been in an emergency session
    since morning.
**[00:24] ---**
    Lord Fourth took Kakashi and
    the other jonin with him…
**[00:26] ---**
    They're participating as well.
**[00:28] ---**
    No wonder…
**[00:28] ---**
    Naruto! I'm here too.
**[00:31] ---**
    Pervy Sage!
**[00:33] ---**
    Lady Tsunade, what did you want
    to see us about?
**[00:38] ---**
    It's regarding the news going around
    in each region…
**[00:43] ---**
    News?
**[00:46] ---**
    The news that Orochimaru is dead.
**[00:48] ---**
    It seems Sasuke Uchiha did it.
**[00:53] ---**
    I'm just disappointed because
    I wanted to bring Orochimaru back.
**[00:58] ---**
    Sorry about that, Pervy Sage…
**[01:00] ---**
    But I'm just glad that Sasuke
    didn't end up as Orochimaru's vessel.
**[01:05] ---**
    There's one more thing…
**[01:07] ---**
    That the Akatsuki have been
    attacking shinobi villages,
**[01:09] ---**
    kidnapping Kage and
    jonin-class shinobi.
**[01:12] ---**
    And word is going around that Sasuke is
    working alongside the Akatsuki.
**[01:17] ---**
    No way!
**[01:18] ---**
    I couldn't believe it either.
**[01:20] ---**
    But I gathered intel from
    several trusted sources…
**[01:24] ---**
    and it seems to be true.
**[01:27] ---**
    Around now, they're probably
    adopting a resolution
**[01:30] ---**
    to sanction the Akatsuki and Sasuke.
**[01:33] ---**
    Does that mean Sasuke will
    become a wanted criminal?
**[01:36] ---**
    What did Dad say?
**[01:39] ---**
    Naturally, Lord Fourth would not
    want that…
**[01:42] ---**
    And so…
**[01:45] ---**
    Here's all the data we've gathered.
**[01:48] ---**
    The members of Akatsuki,
    their special abilities
**[01:51] ---**
    and where they have been spotted.
**[01:54] ---**
    Use this to find Sasuke before any
    of the other villages, and bring him back.
**[01:59] ---**
    That's probably the only way
    to save Sasuke.
**[02:08] ---**
    Got that?
**[02:09] ---**
    We'll be the tracking team to help
    each team locate Sasuke!
**[02:15] ---**
    Do not take action on your own.
**[02:16] ---**
    We must work together.
**[02:18] ---**
    The reason is because our objective
    is to find Sasuke
**[02:21] ---**
    and bring him back to the village.
    That's it.
**[02:24] ---**
    Especially Naruto, don't go
    rushing off on your own.
**[02:27] ---**
    I know that.
**[02:29] ---**
    All right, let's go!
**[04:02] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero-*
    *The Shinobi Unite*
    
    
    
**[04:06] ---**
    Hey!
**[04:07] ---**
    What is this?
**[04:09] ---**
    My art…my Human Puppets.
**[04:12] ---**
    They number in the several
    tens of thousands.
**[04:15] ---**
    You've been making stuff like this
    with the personnel we gathered?
**[04:20] ---**
    All this military build-up…
    What are you going to use it for?
**[04:23] ---**
    We Akatsuki, will rule the world
    instead of the Five Great Nations.
**[04:28] ---**
    First, we will crush
    Hidden Leaf Village.
**[04:32] ---**
    So your strategy is to win with quantity?
**[04:35] ---**
    Your perception of what art is
    differs from mine.
**[04:37] ---**
    Art has to be an explosion!
**[04:41] ---**
    Deidara, your aerial attack will disorient
    and disorganize the enemy.
**[04:45] ---**
    I'll then send in
    my Human Puppet army
**[04:48] ---**
    and there will be
    an all-out ground battle.
**[04:51] ---**
    After my artful explosion,
    there won't even be a blade of grass left.
**[04:55] ---**
    Are you stupid?
**[04:58] ---**
    Then there won't be anything left to rule!
**[05:00] ---**
    What?
**[05:01] ---**
    You got a problem with my art, damn it?
**[05:05] ---**
    You're done, you idiot!
**[05:13] ---**
    I'm letting you handle
    the destruction of the Leaf,
**[05:16] ---**
    just as you wanted.
**[05:17] ---**
    Are you still unsatisfied?
**[05:19] ---**
    I just want to destroy
    the current system
**[05:21] ---**
    that has the Fourth Hokage
    at its helm.
**[05:24] ---**
    I have no intention of crushing
    the Leaf Village itself.
**[05:27] ---**
    Are you planning on
    deserting the Akatsuki?
**[05:31] ---**
    In the first place,
    I never agreed to be your henchman.
**[05:34] ---**
    We took care of you when
    you were almost dead…
**[05:37] ---**
    And you're gonna betray us now?
**[05:54] ---**
    A few of them have
    broken the barrier
**[05:56] ---**
    and slipped into Akatsuki territory.
**[05:59] ---**
    The Five Great Nations probably sent them.
**[06:08] ---**
    So you caught
    the scent too, eh, Akamaru?
**[06:11] ---**
    Found him! Sasuke is close by.
**[06:14] ---**
    Is it really Sasuke's scent?
**[06:16] ---**
    Which way?
**[06:17] ---**
    Follow me!
**[06:44] ---**
    The Akatsuki!
**[06:54] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[07:00] ---**
    Big Brother?!
**[07:01] ---**
    I thought you died…
**[07:03] ---**
    How can I leave, when your future,
**[07:05] ---**
    and the future of
    the Uchiha Clan is in flux?
**[07:10] ---**
    Healing from my wounds
    took longer than I expected.
**[07:15] ---**
    I'm glad you're okay.
**[07:17] ---**
    Sasuke, what are you trying to do?
**[07:21] ---**
    Where is it that you belong?
**[07:24] ---**
    That's…
**[07:26] ---**
    You should already know
    what you must do…
**[07:36] ---**
    Where's Sasuke?
**[07:38] ---**
    Isn't Sasuke with you?!
**[07:40] ---**
    He was with us until a little while ago.
**[07:42] ---**
    But he didn't care for the way
    we do things and took off.
**[07:48] ---**
    Talking with these guys
    won't do anything.
**[07:51] ---**
    Let's just kill 'em off.
**[07:53] ---**
    You're the one from that village…
**[07:56] ---**
    Oh, I remember you!
**[07:58] ---**
    It's payback time.
**[08:00] ---**
    Let me have this one.
**[08:02] ---**
    Sure, do whatever you like.
**[08:06] ---**
    Naruto!
**[08:07] ---**
    Huh? You're all here.
**[08:09] ---**
    Yes, I tracked you with my Byakugan.
**[08:12] ---**
    That's Hidan, right? Leave him to us.
**[08:15] ---**
    But—!
**[08:17] ---**
    Don't worry!
**[08:18] ---**
    Thanks to Lady Tsunade's data,
    I have his jutsu all figured out.
**[08:21] ---**
    Shadow Strangle Jutsu!
**[08:23] ---**
    Hey, I'm not falling for that trick!
**[08:26] ---**
    You're not getting away from us!
**[08:27] ---**
    - Yeah!
    - Right!
**[08:29] ---**
    Hidan's gone. What do we do?
**[08:32] ---**
    You're his partner. Do something.
**[08:36] ---**
    Who are you calling his partner?
**[08:39] ---**
    Guess I have no choice…
**[08:41] ---**
    I think his name is Kakuzu.
**[08:44] ---**
    According to Lady Tsunade's intel,
    he has five hearts.
**[08:48] ---**
    My Gentle Fist should
    be able to handle that.
**[08:51] ---**
    Is there anything we can do?
**[08:53] ---**
    He specializes in mid-range attacks.
**[08:56] ---**
    Gentle Fist is a short-range attack.
**[08:59] ---**
    Got it.
**[09:00] ---**
    We'll create a diversion
    and distract him.
**[09:03] ---**
    In that time, Neji…take him down!
**[09:09] ---**
    Here I go!
**[09:18] ---**
    You can try to run, but it's useless!
**[09:20] ---**
    It's finally time for my art to
    make an appearance.
**[09:29] ---**
    What is that?!
**[09:30] ---**
    Didn't you read through the data?
**[09:32] ---**
    Uh, no.
**[09:34] ---**
    The C2 Dragon.
**[09:35] ---**
    Deidara is an explosives expert.
**[09:38] ---**
    If you're gonna compliment me,
**[09:40] ---**
    I wish you'd say
    I'm an "explosive artist."
**[09:44] ---**
    Quit messing around!
**[09:56] ---**
    Huh? What is this?
**[09:58] ---**
    Watch out, Naruto!
**[10:01] ---**
    Whoa, there! That's a landmine!
**[10:04] ---**
    One step and my art will go off!
**[10:09] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:20] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[10:27] ---**
    What? There was no explosion!
**[10:31] ---**
    He used Lightning Style to
    deactivate the land mines!
**[10:34] ---**
    Why didn't you return to the village
**[10:36] ---**
    right after you brought
    down Orochimaru?!
**[10:38] ---**
    I would have been happy to
    take you on any time.
**[10:41] ---**
    We can talk after we finish these guys.
**[10:43] ---**
    They aren't your comrades?!
**[10:47] ---**
    Ones who don't share
    my goal aren't my comrades.
**[10:50] ---**
    Then that makes it easy.
**[10:53] ---**
    Leave the ones up top, to us!
**[10:55] ---**
    Let's go, Akamaru!
**[10:58] ---**
    Fang Over Fang!
**[11:06] ---**
    Now, Akamaru!
**[11:09] ---**
    Dynamic Marking!
**[11:12] ---**
    Ew, that's disgusting!
**[11:14] ---**
    That jutsu didn't even have
    one fragment of art to it!
**[11:17] ---**
    I can't stand it anymore…
**[11:19] ---**
    I'll show you what real art is!
**[11:23] ---**
    To hell with art!
**[11:25] ---**
    Hey, wait! You bastard!
**[11:28] ---**
    Why did you save me?
**[11:30] ---**
    Because I'll be the one
    to take you down.
**[11:34] ---**
    We'll talk after
    we take care of the Akatsuki.
**[11:36] ---**
    All right.
**[11:38] ---**
    This doesn't look good,
    don't you think?
**[11:41] ---**
    Let's get out of here quietly
**[11:44] ---**
    before we get dragged into this.
**[11:49] ---**
    Now it's only you.
**[11:51] ---**
    Sasuke, I'm disappointed in you.
**[11:56] ---**
    Die!
**[11:59] ---**
    Cha!
**[12:01] ---**
    Chidori!
**[12:02] ---**
    Rasengan!
**[12:10] ---**
    It's been a long time since
    I've been outside.
**[12:12] ---**
    What?!
**[12:20] ---**
    I'm gonna turn you into Human Puppet
    comrades of the Akatsuki.
**[12:35] ---**
    We'll never become your comrades!
**[12:38] ---**
    Well, we'll see about that.
**[12:41] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu…
**[12:42] ---**
    Reanimation!
**[12:52] ---**
    W-What is this?
**[12:55] ---**
    Shinobi Puppet Users that Orochimaru
    and I prepared
**[12:58] ---**
    while he was still alive.
**[13:00] ---**
    It's the same jutsu that was
    used three years ago
**[13:03] ---**
    to resurrect Hizashi.
**[13:08] ---**
    On top of that…
**[13:22] ---**
    Well, how do like it?
**[13:23] ---**
    This is my art
**[13:25] ---**
    that will rule the Shinobi World
    from now on…
**[13:28] ---**
    …the Human Puppet Army.
**[13:30] ---**
    S-So many of them…
**[13:32] ---**
    We have no choice
    but to destroy them…
**[13:35] ---**
    Ninja Art: Wind Scythe Jutsu!
**[13:48] ---**
    It's Dad!
**[13:49] ---**
    And everyone!
**[13:51] ---**
    I rushed over from the summit
    as soon as I heard.
**[13:55] ---**
    We can't ignore a friend, after all.
**[13:58] ---**
    Gaara!
**[14:00] ---**
    When it comes to puppets,
    we're experts.
**[14:03] ---**
    We'll take you on.
**[14:06] ---**
    Aim for the Chakra Threads!
**[14:08] ---**
    Do that and these guys
    become mere puppets!
**[14:12] ---**
    Naruto, you deal with Sasori.
**[14:15] ---**
    Right!
**[14:18] ---**
    Now, it's just you.
**[14:27] ---**
    He'll be your opponent.
**[14:29] ---**
    Impossible! Is that—?!
**[14:31] ---**
    It will all be over in an instant.
**[14:42] ---**
    Sakura…?
**[14:44] ---**
    I trained hard too, and caught up
    to both of you.
**[14:48] ---**
    And besides…
**[14:50] ---**
    it's full now.
**[14:53] ---**
    Anyway…just watch!
**[14:58] ---**
    Cha!
**[15:08] ---**
    Wow…!
**[15:11] ---**
    Well then, how about this?
**[15:23] ---**
    They're!
**[15:24] ---**
    No way! Current Kage were turned
    into Human Puppets too?!
**[15:29] ---**
    I had a hard time turning them
    into Human Puppets.
**[15:33] ---**
    I lost a lot of military strength
    because of that…
**[15:36] ---**
    To make up for the loss, Sasuke…
**[15:40] ---**
    I brought you into the Akatsuki.
**[15:43] ---**
    I should've turned you into
    a Human Puppet right from the beginning!
**[15:47] ---**
    So that means…
**[15:49] ---**
    Sasuke's innocent?
**[15:51] ---**
    That doesn't matter.
**[15:52] ---**
    Right now, focus on the enemy
    in front of us.
**[15:55] ---**
    Now!
**[16:08] ---**
    All right, they're sealed.
**[16:11] ---**
    - Summoning Jutsu!
    - Summoning Jutsu!
**[16:18] ---**
    Lady Katsuyu, we'll work
    on everyone's recovery!
**[16:22] ---**
    And we'll handle the Kage!
**[16:27] ---**
    Why are you going in alone?!
**[16:28] ---**
    I'll settle this by myself!
**[16:32] ---**
    Particle Style:
**[16:34] ---**
    Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
**[16:39] ---**
    What?!
**[16:44] ---**
    He took out Aoda in one hit?
**[16:46] ---**
    See?
**[16:47] ---**
    Isn't that what you call art?
**[16:49] ---**
    Now you can become part of my art!
**[16:54] ---**
    Hold on a minute!
**[16:57] ---**
    Pervy Sage?!
**[17:01] ---**
    Team Jiraiya is on the scene!
**[17:04] ---**
    Nagato? Konan?
**[17:07] ---**
    It seems you were able to save
    your comrade as you promised.
**[17:11] ---**
    Y-Yeah!
**[17:11] ---**
    Although we haven't quite made up yet.
**[17:15] ---**
    Then Naruto, you're…
**[17:19] ---**
    Yeah…
**[17:19] ---**
    Yahiko is dead,
    but you're his replacement.
**[17:23] ---**
    That's…
**[17:25] ---**
    Team Jiraiya is back!
**[17:28] ---**
    The Child of Prophecy who will
    save the future of shinobi…
**[17:31] ---**
    Let's see what you can do!
**[17:34] ---**
    Okay!
**[17:39] ---**
    Lava Style:
**[17:40] ---**
    Lava Monster Jutsu!
**[17:43] ---**
    How disappointing…
**[17:53] ---**
    You're too reckless, Sasuke.
**[17:56] ---**
    Big Brother?
**[17:59] ---**
    Why do you have to fight alone?
**[18:01] ---**
    You have comrades.
**[18:06] ---**
    Anyway, I'll help you out here now.
**[18:10] ---**
    Do what you want.
**[18:15] ---**
    Go! Gamakichi!
**[18:20] ---**
    This is bad!
**[18:22] ---**
    Leave it to me!
**[18:24] ---**
    Particle Style: Boundary Dismantling Jutsu!
**[18:31] ---**
    I'll absorb every jutsu.
**[18:42] ---**
    Now, Naruto!
**[18:43] ---**
    All right!
**[18:44] ---**
    Rasengan!
**[19:01] ---**
    Now, Sasuke!
**[19:07] ---**
    Impossible… My art is…
**[19:12] ---**
    Damn it!
**[19:13] ---**
    Not yet… It's not over yet!
**[19:20] ---**
    SASORI
**[19:27] ---**
    *I will not lose…*
**[19:30] ---**
    Nope, you can't win.
**[19:33] ---**
    What did you say?
**[19:35] ---**
    Just look around carefully.
**[19:46] ---**
    A guy who turns comrades
    into puppets…
**[19:48] ---**
    can never win…
**[19:52] ---**
    against…my…friends!
**[19:57] ---**
    So idiotic.
**[20:01] ---**
    Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken!
**[20:03] ---**
    Inferno Style: Flame Control!
**[20:14] ---**
    SASORI
**[20:26] ---**
    It's over…
**[20:29] ---**
    Sasuke, come back to the village.
**[20:32] ---**
    Can't we start over…
**[20:36] ---**
    and be friends?
**[20:38] ---**
    Yeah, I'll return to the Leaf Village.
**[20:44] ---**
    But don't get the wrong idea.
**[20:47] ---**
    Huh?!
**[20:49] ---**
    I have no intention of joining up
    with you guys.
**[20:53] ---**
    I'm going to change the Shinobi World
    in my own way.
**[22:38] ---**
    My feelings won't change, ever.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    As a friend, I'm bringing you back!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I first met you at the Academy's
    entrance ceremony, right?
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    So what about it?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It's been destined that
    this would happen, since then!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Rival."
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    How would I know? You're talking
    about stuff from a long time ago!
    
    
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero- Rival
    
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:05] ---**
    It's over…
**[00:07] ---**
    Sasuke, come back to the village.
**[00:11] ---**
    Can't we start over and be friends?
**[00:16] ---**
    Yeah,
    I'll return to the Leaf Village.
**[00:23] ---**
    But don't get the wrong idea.
**[00:25] ---**
    Huh?!
**[00:27] ---**
    I have no intention of joining up
    with you guys.
**[00:31] ---**
    I'm going to change
    the Shinobi World in my own way.
**[02:06] ---**
    *Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:*
    *The Tale of Naruto the Hero -*
    *Rival*
    
    
    
**[02:32] ---**
    My feelings won't change.
**[02:37] ---**
    *Just what are you?*
**[02:40] ---**
    *I'm your friend!*
**[02:44] ---**
    *So that's why I'm saying**
**[02:46] ---**
    *I'm never gonna let*
    *Orochimaru have you!*
**[02:51] ---**
    I'm taking you back as a friend.
**[02:55] ---**
    I'm going to take you down.
**[02:57] ---**
    That's all I've ever thought about.
**[03:06] ---**
    C'mon, Naruto!
**[03:07] ---**
    I'm not gonna lose!
**[03:33] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
**[03:45] ---**
    *Fireball Jutsu!*
**[04:40] ---**
    *Ever since the Nine-Tails incident,*
**[04:42] ---**
    *we Uchiha have lived*
    *under suspicion.*
**[04:45] ---**
    *We're forced to live on*
    *the outskirts of the village…*
**[04:47] ---**
    *and looked upon with distrust.*
**[04:49] ---**
    *If things continue like this...*
**[04:50] ---**
    *Negotiations with*
    *the village are ongoing.*
**[04:52] ---**
    *If we are diligent*
    *in fulfilling our duties,*
**[04:54] ---**
    *we are sure to get*
    *a positive response.*
**[04:58] ---**
    *I promise you that.*
**[04:59] ---**
    *There are volatile youths among us.*
**[05:02] ---**
    *Ones who cannot stand*
    *the Fourth Hokage and would rather…*
**[05:04] ---**
    *Watch your tongue!*
**[05:07] ---**
    *The Hokage…*
**[05:22] ---**
    I first met you at the Academy
    entrance ceremony.
**[05:27] ---**
    So what about it?
**[05:29] ---**
    It's been destined that
    this would happen, since then!
**[05:35] ---**
    *You're Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan?*
**[05:38] ---**
    *Will you be friends*
    *with my son, Naruto?*
**[05:42] ---**
    *Oh, Lord Hokage…*
**[05:45] ---**
    *Hello.*
**[05:45] ---**
    *Let's see…*
**[05:47] ---**
    *Rather than a friend…*
**[05:49] ---**
    *my Sasuke will grow up to be*
    *a fine rival for your son.*
**[05:57] ---**
    *This is…the Hokage's kid?*
**[06:01] ---**
    At the Academy, as the son
    of the head of the Uchiha...
**[06:05] ---**
    *I remember Itachi*
    *when he entered…*
**[06:09] ---**
    *You are definitely his brother.*
**[06:11] ---**
    I was constantly compared
    to my big brother.
**[06:14] ---**
    Even when I thought
    the pressure would crush me…
**[06:17] ---**
    I was determined never
    to lose to you, the Hokage's son.
**[06:21] ---**
    In the end,
    I was ranked at the top.
**[06:24] ---**
    While you were the loser…
**[06:26] ---**
    But, rather than feeling superior,
    I was annoyed.
**[06:29] ---**
    How could someone like you
    be the Hokage's son?
**[06:32] ---**
    You could never be my rival.
**[06:34] ---**
    How would I know?
**[06:35] ---**
    You're talking about stuff
    from a long time ago!
**[06:39] ---**
    However…
**[06:41] ---**
    That day…
**[06:55] ---**
    *My dog!*
**[06:56] ---**
    *Someone!*
    *Someone, please save him!*
**[07:11] ---**
    *It's too dangerous!*
**[07:12] ---**
    *Don't go!*
**[07:15] ---**
    *But—!*
**[07:16] ---**
    *If you try to save it,*
**[07:17] ---**
    *you'll be swept away*
    *by the currents too.*
**[07:54] ---**
    *There…there…You're safe now.*
**[08:02] ---**
    I was so mad at myself.
**[08:04] ---**
    I stood by the river and
    couldn't move.
**[08:07] ---**
    But you didn't even think
    about living or dying.
**[08:12] ---**
    You just jumped in and
    saved the puppy.
**[08:14] ---**
    My body just moved.
**[08:17] ---**
    – It wasn't a big deal.
    – Don't say that!
**[08:22] ---**
    I wasn't able to act.
**[08:25] ---**
    But you did,
    without any hesitation.
**[08:28] ---**
    That made me so mad.
**[08:32] ---**
    Then a while after that…
**[08:34] ---**
    The dissatisfaction among
    the Uchiha reached its peak,
**[08:36] ---**
    almost to the verge of revolt.
**[08:48] ---**
    *There's no need to dirty*
    *your hands any more.*
**[08:51] ---**
    *With the joining of*
    *the Uchiha and Senju,*
**[08:54] ---**
    *which was never thought possible…*
**[08:56] ---**
    *peace has been preserved within*
    *the Village Hidden in the Leaves.*
**[09:00] ---**
    *And it will last beyond this night…*
**[09:03] ---**
    *long into the future.*
**[09:17] ---**
    The Fourth Hokage brilliantly averted
**[09:19] ---**
    an Uchiha coup d'état
    through negotiation.
**[09:22] ---**
    My opinion towards both the Hokage
    and you changed completely.
**[09:27] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[09:29] ---**
    You aren't just a loser.
**[09:32] ---**
    You possess something
    I don't have.
**[09:35] ---**
    I felt we could become real rivals.
**[09:38] ---**
    But you...didn't change one bit!
**[09:41] ---**
    You stayed a loser,
    always laughing foolishly...
**[09:44] ---**
    And I ended up acknowledging you!
**[09:46] ---**
    But you—!
**[09:58] ---**
    That's not my fault!
**[10:01] ---**
    I've tried hard to do
    something about it.
**[10:04] ---**
    I wanted to grow strong with you.
**[10:07] ---**
    Fighting…honing our skills together…
**[10:11] ---**
    That's what I wanted.
**[10:13] ---**
    But all of a sudden, you—!
**[10:23] ---**
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[10:32] ---**
    Naruto?!
**[10:40] ---**
    Here I come!
**[10:43] ---**
    Rasengan!
**[11:10] ---**
    Naruto!
**[11:11] ---**
    You left me behind
    all alone and got better.
**[11:21] ---**
    That's why I desperately
    tried to keep up.
**[11:29] ---**
    Chidori Stream!
**[11:46] ---**
    I obtained power from Orochimaru…
**[11:48] ---**
    and surpassed even him…
**[11:50] ---**
    And yet, you keep progressing and
    advancing further away from me.
**[11:55] ---**
    I don't care about catching up
    to you anymore.
**[11:58] ---**
    I'm going to take
    you down right now!
**[12:01] ---**
    You'll never get ahead
    of me ever again!
**[12:04] ---**
    I'll show you who's on top
    right here and right now!
**[12:20] ---**
    How's that?
**[12:23] ---**
    It's not enough!
**[12:24] ---**
    I've still got my clones, ya know!
**[12:39] ---**
    That's—!
**[12:41] ---**
    It's Sage Mode!
**[12:53] ---**
    Sage Art: Giant Rasengan!
**[13:14] ---**
    I'm not done yet!
**[13:16] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[13:23] ---**
    Sage Art: Rasen Shuriken!
**[14:01] ---**
    Not yet…
**[14:02] ---**
    It's still not enough!
**[14:07] ---**
    I was able to aim for
    my best…
**[14:09] ---**
    because of you!
**[14:11] ---**
    I was able to get this far
    because I thought of you…as my rival!
**[14:14] ---**
    You make me sick!
**[14:17] ---**
    Don't underestimate the Uchiha...
**[14:20] ---**
    No, me!
**[14:22] ---**
    I'm gonna surpass you!
**[14:40] ---**
    He's serious.
**[14:41] ---**
    He's dead set on destroying you.
**[14:45] ---**
    Can you lend me some power?
**[14:46] ---**
    Sasuke's power is awesome.
**[14:50] ---**
    I got it.
**[14:51] ---**
    Use my power.
**[14:53] ---**
    Demon Fox!
**[14:54] ---**
    Uh, I mean...
**[14:56] ---**
    What's your name?
**[14:58] ---**
    SEAL
    
    My real name is...Kurama.
**[15:04] ---**
    Kurama…Thank you!
**[15:10] ---**
    This is bad!
**[15:11] ---**
    Those black flames are—!
**[15:12] ---**
    Naruto, use your Tailed Beast Bomb!
**[15:15] ---**
    Huh? What's that?
**[15:17] ---**
    It's the same as the Rasengan.
**[15:20] ---**
    I'm going to bring this destiny
    between us to an end.
**[15:24] ---**
    Naruto…
**[15:27] ---**
    I'm going to take you down!
**[15:28] ---**
    Just try, Sasuke!
**[15:30] ---**
    As your friend, I'll stop you!
**[15:45] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:48] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[17:08] ---**
    You have always been,
**[17:11] ---**
    and will always be…
**[17:13] ---**
    my friend.
**[17:15] ---**
    You're my friend, ya know that?
**[17:19] ---**
    That hurt…you idiot.
**[17:22] ---**
    A punch from a friend should hurt!
**[17:27] ---**
    You could always jump
    into action radiantly, in any situation.
**[17:30] ---**
    Seeing you do that was
    so blinding.
**[17:34] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[17:37] ---**
    I was so jealous of you.
**[18:19] ---**
    That's all it was…
**[18:32] ---**
    Then that's what friends are.
**[18:41] ---**
    And so, the Child of Prophecy,
    Naruto Uzumaki,
**[18:45] ---**
    would become the Hokage,
**[18:46] ---**
    and with his friends,
    forge through thick and thin
**[18:49] ---**
    towards a bright future
    for the shinobi.
**[18:53] ---**
    Thus ends the "Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls:
    The Tale of Naruto the Hero, Part One."
**[19:07] ---**
    So Naruto becomes the Hokage…
**[19:10] ---**
    Talk about playing favorites...
**[19:13] ---**
    But those two, eh…?
**[19:18] ---**
    Right? It's not a bad ending, is it?
**[19:21] ---**
    Well… I guess you could say that.
**[19:24] ---**
    Tsunade…
**[19:26] ---**
    Tsunade!
**[19:27] ---**
    You're so loud!
**[19:29] ---**
    I read it all, didn't I?
**[19:35] ---**
    J-Jiraiya!
**[19:39] ---**
    Tsunade...
**[19:42] ---**
    Dan?
**[19:43] ---**
    What were you reading?
**[19:45] ---**
    Hey, where's Jiraiya's book?
**[19:47] ---**
    I don't know.
**[19:48] ---**
    I finished reading his novel and…
**[19:51] ---**
    You're still half-asleep, aren't you?
**[19:54] ---**
    Dan?
**[19:55] ---**
    There's still some time before we leave
    for the Five Kage Summit…
**[19:58] ---**
    Why don't you sleep
    a little bit longer?
**[20:02] ---**
    I'm tired of dreaming.
**[20:12] ---**
    "EROHARA"
    
    Nawaki, you want something awesome?
**[20:15] ---**
    Keep this a secret from
    your older sister.
**[20:21] ---**
    Hey!
**[20:22] ---**
    Ji-raiya…
**[22:38] ---**
    What's going on
    outside right now?
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Sasuke?
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    What difference
    will it make, knowing that?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke!
    We need to work as a team!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Team 7 needs to work together
    to bring down Madara!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    "Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness:
    Birth and Death"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    We might be the only ones left.
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:04] ---**
    At last!
**[00:06] ---**
    The world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    is now here!
**[00:16] ---**
    Naruto! You can't right now!
**[00:19] ---**
    Don't go outside!
**[00:21] ---**
    Without my Susano'o's protection,
**[00:23] ---**
    you'd be bound up in
    his genjutsu as well!
**[01:57] ---**
    *Itachi's Story –*
    *Light and Darkness:*
    *Birth and Death*
    
    
    
**[02:02] ---**
    FIRE
    
    What in the world is going on?!
**[02:06] ---**
    WIND
    
**[02:10] ---**
    EARTH
    
**[02:13] ---**
    LIGHTNING
    
**[02:17] ---**
    WATER
    
**[02:51] ---**
    Just what is this?
**[02:59] ---**
    Are they inside?
**[03:04] ---**
    Blocking the light with the Susano'o?
**[03:08] ---**
    What's going on outside right now?
**[03:13] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[03:14] ---**
    What difference will it make,
    knowing that?
**[03:18] ---**
    There is nothing
    you can do right now.
**[03:21] ---**
    Sasuke… That's not the point.
**[03:24] ---**
    Naruto and I also want to know.
**[03:28] ---**
    In order to analyze our next move,
**[03:30] ---**
    Sakura is…
**[03:31] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[03:32] ---**
    You're being just like Sakura now.
**[03:35] ---**
    Just be quiet for a bit.
**[03:36] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke!
**[03:38] ---**
    We need to work as a team!
**[03:40] ---**
    Team 7 needs to work together
    to bring Madara down!
**[03:43] ---**
    You're right.
    There's nothing I can do right now…
**[03:47] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[03:48] ---**
    If you can analyze what's outside
    with your left eye,
**[03:52] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[03:53] ---**
    you should be the one to lead
    Team 7's four-man squad.
**[03:57] ---**
    Huh?!
**[03:59] ---**
    I doubt he's better at planning
    than either you or Sakura!
**[04:05] ---**
    Although he may be
    better than me…
**[04:07] ---**
    Anyway…
**[04:09] ---**
    Madara has activated his jutsu.
**[04:12] ---**
    It's a powerful genjutsu.
**[04:15] ---**
    I suspect everyone outside
    has fallen under its spell.
**[04:21] ---**
    We might be the only ones
**[04:24] ---**
    left unaffected.
**[04:28] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi, huh?
**[04:30] ---**
    So right about now, everyone's…
**[04:38] ---**
    Inside a dream.
**[05:04] ---**
    Lord Kiba!
**[05:06] ---**
    I think I'll start by establishing
    a new holiday called Dog Day!
**[05:11] ---**
    It's the Hokage's Decree!
**[05:16] ---**
    Everyone will own a dog!
**[05:19] ---**
    Go get a dog!
**[05:21] ---**
    It's the Hokage's Decree!
**[05:29] ---**
    I've finally found a new species!
**[05:34] ---**
    There, there…
**[05:39] ---**
    Wow!
**[05:42] ---**
    What a feast! This looks so tasy!
**[05:44] ---**
    I went all out and cooked
    all this just for you, dear!
**[05:48] ---**
    Looks like you've found a fan!
**[05:50] ---**
    Thanks for the food!
**[06:01] ---**
    I just love gluttons!
    I think they're so manly!
**[06:06] ---**
    I'm sorry… I ate your share too.
**[06:10] ---**
    It's okay…
**[06:11] ---**
    There's so much more!
**[06:17] ---**
    I am so happy!
**[06:22] ---**
    How many times
    do I have to tell you?!
**[06:24] ---**
    If you're going to be late
    coming back from a mission,
**[06:26] ---**
    let me know!
**[06:28] ---**
    I made dinner for nothing,
**[06:30] ---**
    - Marriage is such a drag.
    - and you kept me waiting.
**[06:32] ---**
    I think I'll pass.
**[06:33] ---**
    - Haven't you learned after all these years?
    - Yeah.
**[06:39] ---**
    I won't let you have Ino.
**[06:42] ---**
    Ino is my woman… Get lost!
**[06:44] ---**
    No, she is my woman.
**[06:46] ---**
    Stop fighting, both of you!
**[06:50] ---**
    My daughter's so popular.
**[06:53] ---**
    This is such a pain!
**[07:00] ---**
    Great Leaf Hurricane!
**[07:08] ---**
    Youth prevails!
**[07:10] ---**
    Oh, Lee!
**[07:13] ---**
    I love you!
**[07:14] ---**
    S-Sakura!
**[07:18] ---**
    - Sai!
    - Sai!
**[07:21] ---**
    Oh, Sai.
**[07:22] ---**
    Hey, Sai.
**[07:23] ---**
    Good morning, everyone.
**[07:25] ---**
    'Morning.
**[07:26] ---**
    You have a really nice smile,
    as usual.
**[07:28] ---**
    Do you think so?
**[07:29] ---**
    You really do have
    a beautiful smile, Sai.
**[07:31] ---**
    It is super cool!
**[07:32] ---**
    Oh…
**[07:33] ---**
    Sai! Your smile's the best
    in the Hidden Leaf!
**[07:42] ---**
    I've finally perfected it!
**[07:45] ---**
    It flies! It moves!
    My ultimate puppet!
**[07:48] ---**
    He embodies all the dreams
    of the Sand!
**[07:50] ---**
    You will be the guardian deity
    of the Sand!
**[07:57] ---**
    Let's go!
**[08:06] ---**
    Elder Sister, Elder Sister!
**[08:09] ---**
    Please help me.
    I need to pick your brain!
**[08:13] ---**
    Calm down. What is it?
**[08:16] ---**
    You see…
**[08:16] ---**
    Hold on!
**[08:17] ---**
    Let me discuss something
    with you first!
**[08:20] ---**
    You're the Kazekage now.
    Make your own decisions.
**[08:24] ---**
    No!
**[08:25] ---**
    I really want to hear your opinion!
**[08:27] ---**
    Me too! Please, Elder Sister!
**[08:29] ---**
    It just has to be you!
    Elder Sister!
**[08:31] ---**
    Elder Sister!
**[08:32] ---**
    Elder Sister!
**[08:36] ---**
    My little brothers are so hopeless.
**[08:52] ---**
    And then Gaara—!
**[08:55] ---**
    Is that so? At the Academy?
**[08:58] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[08:58] ---**
    Lord Gaara.
**[09:01] ---**
    Your friend is here to see you.
**[09:04] ---**
    Hey!
**[09:06] ---**
    What are we gonna play today?
**[09:08] ---**
    Let's go outside!
**[09:10] ---**
    Gaara…
**[09:12] ---**
    Don't stay out too late.
**[09:15] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[09:30] ---**
    So when can we get outta here?
**[09:31] ---**
    It seems the genjutsu
    runs on moonlight.
**[09:35] ---**
    Which will gradually wane.
**[09:38] ---**
    But as long as there's light,
    it's useless.
**[09:42] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:47] ---**
    *I need to tell you everything*
    *before we part.**
**[09:53] ---**
    *There's no need to lie anymore.**
**[09:56] ---**
    *I'll show you the entire truth.**
**[10:04] ---**
    *These are Itachi's memories!**
**[10:09] ---**
    *Back then, Itachi told me*
    *about the discord**
**[10:11] ---**
    *between the Hidden Leaf*
    *and the Uchiha…**
**[10:15] ---**
    *but that wasn't all.**
**[10:18] ---**
    *These aren't just memories…**
**[10:20] ---**
    *It's Itachi's knowledge,*
    *his thoughts, his suffering…**
**[10:26] ---**
    *I will love you always…**
**[10:30] ---**
    *It's everything that Itachi Uchiha*
    *the shinobi was…**
**[10:35] ---**
    *Madara…*
    *Don't talk about the Uchiha.**
**[10:39] ---**
    *The only one who has that right*
    *is my Big Brother.**
**[11:48] ---**
    *So this is…the Great Ninja War. **
**[12:05] ---**
    Water! Water!
**[12:17] ---**
    Th-Thank you…
**[12:21] ---**
    *Ninja Tools?*
**[12:40] ---**
    Father…
**[12:42] ---**
    Why did this shinobi
    try to kill me?
**[12:45] ---**
    I didn't do anything…
**[12:47] ---**
    Because this is war.
**[12:49] ---**
    "War"?
**[12:51] ---**
    It's not a war between people.
**[12:53] ---**
    It's a war between nations.
**[12:55] ---**
    That's why strangers
    kill each other meaninglessly.
**[13:01] ---**
    Is that what it is?
**[13:03] ---**
    That is what the shinobi world is.
**[13:06] ---**
    Listen, Itachi…
**[13:08] ---**
    Never forget this sight…
**[13:12] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[13:19] ---**
    We managed an armistice,
    but the sacrifice was just too great.
**[13:24] ---**
    Lord Third intends to take
    full responsibility and retire.
**[13:28] ---**
    There are voices in support of
    installing you, Captain, as the Fourth Hokage.
**[13:31] ---**
    - Please…
    - Enough talk.
**[13:35] ---**
    What should we do
    about Kakashi Hatake?
**[13:39] ---**
    He doesn't belong to our clan,
    but he possesses the Sharingan.
**[13:43] ---**
    I understand Obito Uchiha
    fought bravely.
**[13:47] ---**
    Let's respect his wishes.
**[13:49] ---**
    We should bring the Sharingan
    back to the Uchiha…
**[13:52] ---**
    The war just ended.
**[13:54] ---**
    Do not sow seeds of discord.
**[13:56] ---**
    Yes, sir.
**[14:00] ---**
    We finally have peace.
**[14:02] ---**
    We will persevere to maintain it.
**[14:06] ---**
    That is the duty of the Uchiha…
**[14:16] ---**
    Grieving over the dead
    is meaningless.
**[14:21] ---**
    If there's any meaning in death,
    it's to take advantage of it.
**[14:28] ---**
    What is the meaning of life?
**[14:30] ---**
    There is none.
**[14:33] ---**
    There's meaning in life if it's eternal.
**[14:57] ---**
    *There's no meaning…*
**[14:59] ---**
    *in life?*
**[15:50] ---**
    No one wants to die, right?
**[16:03] ---**
    You guys…
**[16:21] ---**
    *What is life, anyway?*
**[16:29] ---**
    Please take care.
**[16:30] ---**
    Thank you very much!
**[16:32] ---**
    Mom…
**[16:34] ---**
    What is it?
**[16:36] ---**
    Are you sick?
**[16:38] ---**
    Oh, it's nothing like that.
**[16:41] ---**
    You see…
**[16:43] ---**
    You're going to have
    a little brother or sister.
**[16:49] ---**
    Yes. You're going to
    be a big brother.
**[16:55] ---**
    Mom, I want a little brother.
**[16:58] ---**
    But a sister will be cute too,
    wouldn't it?
**[17:03] ---**
    I have a feeling
    it's going to be a little brother.
**[17:08] ---**
    Oh!
**[17:09] ---**
    It's snowing!
**[17:13] ---**
    It will be born in the summer.
**[17:29] ---**
    It's a boy!
    He's your little brother.
**[17:35] ---**
    *A life…*
**[17:37] ---**
    *A new life.*
**[17:41] ---**
    Have you decided on a name?
**[17:43] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:45] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[17:46] ---**
    Sasuke Uchiha.
**[17:49] ---**
    Oh… It's a fine name, but that's…
**[17:52] ---**
    Yes, it's Lord Third's father's name.
    I've already asked Lord Third.
**[17:57] ---**
    I see.
**[18:00] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[18:01] ---**
    We shall raise him to never
    dishonor his name.
**[18:08] ---**
    There, there, Itachi!
**[18:09] ---**
    Itachi!
**[18:12] ---**
    Itachi!
**[18:14] ---**
    *I'm like that too.*
**[18:26] ---**
    *Birth…death…birth…death…*
**[18:31] ---**
    Hey, hey!
**[18:36] ---**
    Aren't you Itachi?
    An Uchiha in my class?
**[18:39] ---**
    Let's play together.
**[18:40] ---**
    What do you want to do today?
**[18:42] ---**
    Kick the can!
    Let's play kick the can!
**[18:45] ---**
    Huh?
    We played that yesterday!
**[18:50] ---**
    Hey! Are you dissing us?
**[18:53] ---**
    Say something!
**[18:57] ---**
    I have shuriken training right now.
**[18:59] ---**
    - Wow...
    - Wow...
**[19:00] ---**
    Well then…
**[19:02] ---**
    Let's practice shuriken too!
**[19:05] ---**
    No, don't!
**[19:10] ---**
    That kid!
**[19:11] ---**
    Trying to act cool! What a stuck-up!
**[19:16] ---**
    Hey, you guys. Stop it!
**[19:20] ---**
    Shut up!
    This is between us guys!
**[19:24] ---**
    *Life is born.*
**[19:29] ---**
    *Life dies.*
**[19:35] ---**
    *Life is…a battle…*
**[19:38] ---**
    Hey! Don't run away!
**[19:54] ---**
    Wow!
**[19:56] ---**
    Was it a girl?
**[19:59] ---**
    It's a boy.
**[20:01] ---**
    He's so cute!
**[20:04] ---**
    What's your name?
**[20:14] ---**
    Hey Mom…
**[20:16] ---**
    Is Lord Fourth going to
    have a baby too?
**[20:19] ---**
    Yes, I wonder what it'll be.
**[20:23] ---**
    I'll be going out tonight,
    so go ahead and have dinner.
**[20:27] ---**
    Okay.
**[20:28] ---**
    Your father's working too,
    so please watch Sasuke.
**[20:32] ---**
    Uh-huh.
**[20:48] ---**
    It's a full moon tonight, Sasuke.
**[21:01] ---**
    What is this?
**[22:38] ---**
    Welcome home, father!
    Please teach me jutsu!
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Jutsu?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Aren't they teaching you
    at the Academy?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    It's too easy.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    As expected from my son.
    I guess it would be for you.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Wait for me at
    the training grounds.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Make sure you're home
    by dinner.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Genius"

**[00:13] ---**
    There's a full moon out tonight, Sasuke.
**[00:25] ---**
    What…?
**[00:28] ---**
    Come on out…
**[00:30] ---**
    Nine Tails!
**[02:02] ---**
    *Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness:*
    *The Genius*
    
    
    
**[02:07] ---**
    What is this sensation?
**[02:15] ---**
    There, there…
**[02:17] ---**
    Don't cry, Sasuke.
**[02:19] ---**
    No matter what happens, your big brother
    will definitely protect you…
**[02:24] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[02:36] ---**
    No way!
**[02:41] ---**
    Go, Nine Tails!
**[03:02] ---**
    It's okay. There, there!
**[03:05] ---**
    It's the Nine Tails!
**[03:06] ---**
    The Demon Fox is on the loose!
**[03:12] ---**
    What's going on?!
**[03:13] ---**
    Just run, you idiot!
**[03:36] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[03:38] ---**
    It's okay.
    You got a little scared, huh?
**[03:52] ---**
    This is an announcement
    from the Leaf Police!
**[03:54] ---**
    All civilians are to evacuate
    to the southeast shelter!
**[03:58] ---**
    The southeast shelter!
**[04:04] ---**
    Dad! Mom!
**[04:09] ---**
    Come here!
**[04:15] ---**
    Itachi!
**[04:18] ---**
    Hurry!
**[04:20] ---**
    Okay!
**[04:30] ---**
    We're going to the shelter.
**[04:35] ---**
    This way! Hurry!
**[04:39] ---**
    Mom!
**[04:40] ---**
    Keep going.
**[04:41] ---**
    Itachi?
**[04:43] ---**
    Everyone will be there.
**[04:46] ---**
    Please stay calm!
**[04:47] ---**
    You're safe here!
**[04:49] ---**
    Father!
**[04:52] ---**
    I knew you would be all right.
**[04:55] ---**
    Get to the shelter quickly.
**[04:57] ---**
    Okay.
**[05:08] ---**
    We drove it out of the village.
**[05:10] ---**
    Don't let up. Keep attacking!
**[05:14] ---**
    Just about everyone has
    been evacuated.
**[05:16] ---**
    Captain, we'll go after
    the Nine Tails as well.
**[05:18] ---**
    The Leaf Police Force is to remain
    and protect the civilians.
**[05:21] ---**
    But Captain!
**[05:23] ---**
    These are the Village's orders.
**[05:27] ---**
    What was that just now?!
**[05:30] ---**
    Looks like they sealed the Nine Tails…
**[05:35] ---**
    …somehow.
**[05:58] ---**
    Many lives were lost
**[05:59] ---**
    including the Fourth Hokage Minato
    and his wife, Kushina…
**[06:05] ---**
    The facts behind the incident
    are still unknown…
**[06:08] ---**
    *Life is born…*
**[06:11] ---**
    But for now, let us
    mourn our comrades…
**[06:18] ---**
    *And life…dies.*
**[06:28] ---**
    Itachi!
**[06:34] ---**
    Thank you for before…
**[06:36] ---**
    Because of you, I was safe!
**[06:39] ---**
    I'm glad you didn't die.
**[06:47] ---**
    Your younger sister?
**[06:49] ---**
    Younger brother.
**[06:50] ---**
    Can I hold him?
**[06:52] ---**
    No.
**[06:53] ---**
    Why not?
**[06:55] ---**
    I don't want him to cry.
**[06:56] ---**
    You're not gonna cry, are you?
**[07:04] ---**
    There, there!
**[07:06] ---**
    There, there!
**[07:09] ---**
    There, there!
**[07:15] ---**
    Aww, come on!
**[07:20] ---**
    The Nine Tails' attack caused
    devastation throughout the village.
**[07:25] ---**
    For the reconstruction,
**[07:27] ---**
    we've decided to revise a number
    of the village's boundaries.
**[07:31] ---**
    We'd like the Aburame Clan
    to move into this district.
**[07:35] ---**
    The clan previously submitted
    a request to occupy the forest,
**[07:38] ---**
    so we took that into consideration.
**[07:42] ---**
    The Nara Clan's territory was
    not part of the stricken area,
**[07:45] ---**
    so they will remain where they are.
**[07:47] ---**
    The Leaf Police Force headquarters
    which sustained damage,
**[07:49] ---**
    will be rebuilt here.
**[07:53] ---**
    And the Uchiha Clan will move along
    with the headquarters…
**[07:55] ---**
    Lord Danzo!
**[07:57] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan makes up
    the Leaf Police Force
**[07:59] ---**
    that protects the Hidden Leaf.
**[08:00] ---**
    As such, that location is too far
    from the village center.
**[08:04] ---**
    We wouldn't be able to act swiftly
    in an emergency.
**[08:07] ---**
    We have the ANBU Black Ops
    for such emergencies.
**[08:13] ---**
    The Leaf Police has to commute
    to the training grounds, does it not?
**[08:18] ---**
    This location is near an area
    that's ideal for training.
**[08:23] ---**
    You can use that area exclusively
    for the Uchiha's training grounds.
**[08:28] ---**
    Continuing on…
**[08:30] ---**
    In conjunction with the reconstruction
    of the Leaf Police Headquarters,
**[08:33] ---**
    the Uchiha Clan will also relocate.
**[08:36] ---**
    Home and buildings that
    were spared will be…
**[08:44] ---**
    During the Nine Tails Incident,
**[08:45] ---**
    we Uchiha were not called upon
    because they feared that
**[08:49] ---**
    we would use our Sharingan to
    manipulate the Nine Tails.
**[08:51] ---**
    Even worse, there are some who say
**[08:54] ---**
    that the Uchiha
    caused the Nine Tails Incident!
**[08:56] ---**
    They are sending us to the outskirts of
    the village in order to keep an eye on us!
**[09:00] ---**
    This is just like during
    the Second Hokage's era
**[09:02] ---**
    when the Uchiha were rounded up
    and isolated in one part of the village!
**[09:06] ---**
    This time, it's even farther away!
**[09:08] ---**
    The village suspects us!
**[09:11] ---**
    Captain, we can't accept this decision!
**[09:14] ---**
    We should reject it outright!
**[09:16] ---**
    Captain!
**[09:19] ---**
    You are absolutely right.
**[09:22] ---**
    But the other clans have accepted
    their respective relocations as well.
**[09:25] ---**
    The Uchiha cannot be
    the lone voice of dissent.
**[09:27] ---**
    But Captain!
**[09:29] ---**
    I'll do what I can to negotiate
    the conditions.
**[09:32] ---**
    But we must accept the move.
**[09:35] ---**
    Pass the word around. That is all.
**[09:38] ---**
    Dismissed.
**[09:43] ---**
    How do you feel?
**[09:44] ---**
    Let's go and see it, Father.
**[09:48] ---**
    The new training grounds.
**[09:53] ---**
    I like it here.
**[09:55] ---**
    Is that so?
**[09:57] ---**
    Father, teach me jutsu…
**[10:00] ---**
    Generational Uchiha Jutsu…
    through the generations.
**[10:02] ---**
    All right!
**[10:12] ---**
    This is a fundamental Uchiha Ninjutsu…
**[10:14] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
**[10:16] ---**
    All right, the signs are…
**[10:26] ---**
    I did it!
**[10:31] ---**
    What a surprise.
**[10:34] ---**
    That's my boy.
**[10:38] ---**
    We'll be moving in no time, huh?
**[10:41] ---**
    Yeah.
**[10:43] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[10:52] ---**
    *We're surrounded…*
**[10:54] ---**
    *I wish it was my imagination, but…*
**[10:58] ---**
    What is it?
**[11:00] ---**
    It's nothing…
**[11:01] ---**
    "In no time," huh? The same could
    be said about you, Itachi.
**[11:06] ---**
    Since you're going to be
    six years old soon.
**[11:09] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS ON
    ENTERING THE ACADEMY
**[11:27] ---**
    Congratulations on your acceptance
    into the Academy, everyone!
**[11:31] ---**
    From this day forth,
**[11:32] ---**
    do your best to reach your goals
    to become a shinobi.
**[11:42] ---**
    I'm sure some of you have already
    been taught ninjutsu in your households…
**[11:48] ---**
    But here at the Academy,
    you will also train
**[11:50] ---**
    to coordinate and work together as
    a team when you are in a group.
**[11:54] ---**
    The fundamentals are very important,
    make sure you learn them well.
**[12:24] ---**
    All right, Kamano. What's the answer?
**[12:27] ---**
    I don't know!
**[12:29] ---**
    Then…Itachi?
**[12:32] ---**
    The seal is for the Water Style:
    Water Bomb Jutsu.
**[12:35] ---**
    Correct.
**[12:37] ---**
    Keep that in mind everyone.
**[12:38] ---**
    It will be on the test.
**[12:40] ---**
    Itachi…Come at me.
**[12:51] ---**
    All right!
**[12:53] ---**
    Begin!
**[13:02] ---**
    The match is over!
**[13:10] ---**
    Okay, okay…
**[13:14] ---**
    Sorry, Sasuke.
    Some other time, okay?
**[13:23] ---**
    Welcome home, Father!
**[13:25] ---**
    Please teach me jutsu!
**[13:27] ---**
    Jutsu?
**[13:29] ---**
    Aren't they teaching you
    at the Academy?
**[13:31] ---**
    It's too easy.
**[13:36] ---**
    I guess it would be for you.
**[13:38] ---**
    Wait for me at the training grounds.
**[13:40] ---**
    Okay!
**[13:42] ---**
    Make sure you're home by dinner.
**[13:44] ---**
    Got it!
**[13:48] ---**
    Look over there! It's Itachi!
**[13:50] ---**
    Where?
**[13:51] ---**
    Oh, he's walking. He's so cool!
**[13:53] ---**
    Oh, he's looking this way!
**[13:54] ---**
    This is not good.
**[13:56] ---**
    Don't you think, gentlemen?
**[13:59] ---**
    For his sake,
**[14:00] ---**
    if he gets swept up by all of this
    and gets the wrong idea…
**[14:04] ---**
    I agree.
**[14:07] ---**
    He's stuck up!
**[14:09] ---**
    It's me! He's looking at me!
**[14:11] ---**
    No, it's me!
**[14:12] ---**
    He started walking again!
**[14:13] ---**
    Itachi's walking!
**[14:15] ---**
    He's walking!
**[14:21] ---**
    It's decided then…
**[14:22] ---**
    - Yeah!
    - Right!
**[14:42] ---**
    Ouch!
**[14:45] ---**
    Don't jump out at us like that, idiot!
**[14:47] ---**
    "Idiot"? Who are you calling "idiot"?
**[14:51] ---**
    You guys must be freshmen!
**[14:54] ---**
    You…
**[14:57] ---**
    …run into someone…
**[14:59] ---**
    and call 'em an "idiot"…?
**[15:02] ---**
    You ran into us!
**[15:04] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[15:12] ---**
    Hold it!
**[15:19] ---**
    Who the hell are you?
**[15:22] ---**
    A friend of theirs?
**[15:30] ---**
    All the freshmen this year are…
**[15:34] ---**
    …stuck up!
**[15:45] ---**
    - Wow!
    - Wow!
**[15:49] ---**
    Take him to the infirmary.
**[15:51] ---**
    O-Okay.
**[15:53] ---**
    Itachi, you're really strong, my friend!
**[15:56] ---**
    "My friend"?
**[15:57] ---**
    Even upperclassmen are
    easy targets for you, sir!
**[16:01] ---**
    "Sir"?
**[16:02] ---**
    Move it, move it!
**[16:03] ---**
    Master Itachi is coming through!
**[16:06] ---**
    "Master"?
**[16:09] ---**
    Make way!
**[16:11] ---**
    It's Master Itachi!
**[16:13] ---**
    - Move it! Make way!
    - *Stop it…*
**[16:15] ---**
    - Outta the way!
    - *Please…*
**[16:17] ---**
    *Don't…*
**[16:21] ---**
    *There is birth…*
**[16:24] ---**
    *and death…*
**[16:30] ---**
    *Life…*
**[16:32] ---**
    *flocks together…*
**[16:35] ---**
    SHINOBI
    
**[16:37] ---**
    *What is a shinobi?*
**[16:40] ---**
    *What is a village?*
**[16:44] ---**
    First in every class,
    according to your progress report…
**[16:47] ---**
    That's my boy.
**[16:50] ---**
    Father…
**[16:51] ---**
    Hmm?
**[16:52] ---**
    Teach me jutsu.
**[16:54] ---**
    *I want to know more*
    *about being a shinobi.*
**[16:57] ---**
    In cases like this, always make sure
    you have an escape route.
**[17:00] ---**
    This is important.
    If you're in a four-man team…
**[17:10] ---**
    You're very talented for your age.
**[17:15] ---**
    I'm no match for you, Shisui.
**[17:18] ---**
    Oh come on…
**[17:20] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[17:21] ---**
    Does the Academy bore you
    so much that you're ditching?
**[17:26] ---**
    I'm not ditching.
**[17:41] ---**
    You guys! That's unfair!
**[18:06] ---**
    What's with that look?
**[18:18] ---**
    Hey! Cut it out!
**[18:21] ---**
    Hey you, stop!
**[18:29] ---**
    Itachi!
**[18:30] ---**
    Take this!
**[18:47] ---**
    What happened?
**[18:49] ---**
    He disappeared?!
**[18:50] ---**
    Yeah, he disappeared!
    He disappeared!
**[18:54] ---**
    That's a clone…
**[18:56] ---**
    No…
**[18:57] ---**
    It's a Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[19:00] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[19:02] ---**
    I have to get back.
**[19:04] ---**
    You do?
**[19:07] ---**
    Shisui…
**[19:11] ---**
    Why is there fighting in life?
**[19:14] ---**
    Who knows?
**[19:15] ---**
    But…
**[19:18] ---**
    If the fighting can be stopped,
    I'd like to stop it.
**[19:22] ---**
    Me too!
**[19:29] ---**
    See you later.
**[19:32] ---**
    Aside from the clone jutsu
**[19:34] ---**
    which is a requirement for
    graduating the Academy,
**[19:37] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha has already mastered
    the Shadow Clone Jutsu, a forbidden jutsu.
**[19:41] ---**
    He excels in all other subjects.
**[19:43] ---**
    There's no purpose in keeping him
    at the Academy any longer.
**[19:47] ---**
    Isn't he just a freshman?
**[19:49] ---**
    Yes.
**[19:50] ---**
    That doesn't matter.
    This has happened before.
**[19:53] ---**
    That was a different era.
**[19:56] ---**
    This is not the age of war.
**[19:58] ---**
    The boy is a genius, no?
**[20:01] ---**
    I've never seen a student like him.
**[20:04] ---**
    So it will be better for Itachi
    to let him graduate?
**[20:09] ---**
    Graduate?
**[20:11] ---**
    After only a year at the Academy?
**[20:13] ---**
    Yeah.
**[20:15] ---**
    The teacher said as long as
    both parents agree.
**[20:18] ---**
    They want to talk to you at school.
**[20:21] ---**
    I see…
**[20:24] ---**
    That's my boy.
**[20:37] ---**
    GRADUATES' INFORMATION SESSION
    
    
**[20:39] ---**
    GRADUATES' INFORMATION SESSION
    
    Graduates!
**[20:42] ---**
    You will now be assigned missions
    from the village.
**[20:46] ---**
    We'll be forming
    three-man teams
**[20:49] ---**
    led by one jonin…
**[20:52] ---**
    and you will be undertaking
    your mission under their guidance.
**[20:59] ---**
    And now, I will announce the teams!
**[22:37] ---**
    Big Brother! What is this?
    
    
**[22:39] ---**
    This is…from back then!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Life is born, and life dies…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    But life is saved again…
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Well…
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    When I saved them back then,
    I didn't really have any deep feelings.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Pain of Living"
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    It just affected me…

    *Itachi's Story -*
    *Light and Darkness: The Pain of Living*
    
    
    
**[02:05] ---**
    Father!
**[02:07] ---**
    We'll discuss this again later.
**[02:13] ---**
    Father!
**[02:14] ---**
    Returning from a mission, Itachi?
**[02:17] ---**
    Yeah!
**[02:21] ---**
    We haven't walked together
    like this in a while.
**[02:24] ---**
    Well, I'm a genin now…
    and have I missions.
**[02:28] ---**
    Oh, I see!
**[02:31] ---**
    That's right.
**[02:32] ---**
    Since the Uchiha moved here…
**[02:39] ---**
    GRADUATE'S INFORMATION SESSION
**[02:45] ---**
    …three years have passed.
**[02:50] ---**
    We were pushed to
    the outskirts of the village,
**[02:51] ---**
    and the upper echelons
    took away our authority…
**[02:54] ---**
    Many still voice strong dissatisfaction
    towards their methods.
**[03:00] ---**
    You're aware of that too, right?
**[03:04] ---**
    We want to regain
    our power one day…
**[03:07] ---**
    and step out from
    the darkness into the light—
**[03:08] ---**
    Father, look!
**[03:19] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[03:21] ---**
    Sorry, Father…
**[03:23] ---**
    You're the face of the Uchiha.
**[03:26] ---**
    I'm proud to be able to
    walk alongside you.
**[03:29] ---**
    Enough flattery…
**[03:32] ---**
    Should we get your favorite snack
    on the way home?
**[03:36] ---**
    Yeah!
**[03:37] ---**
    DUMPLINGS
**[03:39] ---**
    SOLD OUT TODAY
    DUMPLINGS
**[03:40] ---**
    It can't be helped
    if they're all sold out…
**[03:44] ---**
    Itachi?
**[03:47] ---**
    Izumi…
**[03:53] ---**
    I'm sorry, Itachi.
**[03:54] ---**
    Are you sure I didn't interrupt
    you and your dad?
**[03:58] ---**
    Yeah… It's okay.
**[03:59] ---**
    DUMPLINGS
    
**[04:01] ---**
    - It's been a while.
    - Yeah.
**[04:03] ---**
    It's the first time since
    you became a genin.
**[04:05] ---**
    That's right!
**[04:07] ---**
    I'm sorry I didn't get you
    anything for your promotion…
**[04:09] ---**
    I didn't even congratulate you.
**[04:12] ---**
    I'm really sorry!
**[04:14] ---**
    You don't have to apologize
    so much…
**[04:16] ---**
    This doesn't really qualify
    as a gift.
**[04:20] ---**
    But if you don't mind,
    won't you have one?
**[04:25] ---**
    My mom loves the tri-color
    dumplings from that shop.
**[04:29] ---**
    But I guess someone like you
    who's brilliant and
**[04:33] ---**
    who excels in ninjutsu and taijutsu
    and whizzed through the Academy…
**[04:38] ---**
    wouldn't have a sweet tooth.
**[04:41] ---**
    Sorry for just assuming…
**[04:44] ---**
    Well, since I opened them…
**[04:48] ---**
    I guess I'll eat them all myself.
**[05:00] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[05:02] ---**
    Do you want one?
**[05:13] ---**
    Is it strange?
**[05:14] ---**
    Oh no, it isn't that.
**[05:17] ---**
    I've known you for quite
    some time,
**[05:19] ---**
    but I didn't know what
    your favorite foods were.
**[05:22] ---**
    Rank and gender have
    nothing to do
**[05:25] ---**
    with what someone likes to eat.
**[05:27] ---**
    Yeah, that's true.
**[05:29] ---**
    Sorry.
**[05:37] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[05:40] ---**
    It's because, Itachi…
**[05:42] ---**
    You looked so ready
    to use your Sharingan.
**[05:47] ---**
    It was funny.
**[05:50] ---**
    Okay, I won't laugh anymore.
    Sorry, Itachi!
**[05:56] ---**
    Sorry, sorry!
**[05:58] ---**
    Let me make it up to you.
**[06:00] ---**
    Is there anything you want?
**[06:03] ---**
    "Anything I want"?
**[06:04] ---**
    Yeah!
**[06:10] ---**
    *That's right. She's…*
**[06:14] ---**
    Yeah… I thought so.
**[06:17] ---**
    But that's something
    I can't give you.
**[06:26] ---**
    Hey!
**[06:30] ---**
    We have another mission…
**[06:32] ---**
    Stop flirting.
**[06:34] ---**
    We are not flirting!
**[06:37] ---**
    Itachi…
**[06:40] ---**
    I can't give them to you…
**[06:42] ---**
    But I'll pray for you…
**[06:45] ---**
    I hope that your Sharingan
    awakens really soon.
**[06:49] ---**
    And when it does,
    I'll congratulate you!
**[07:01] ---**
    How was the kunai
    you bought the other day, Itachi?
**[07:06] ---**
    Yes, it was quite amazing.
**[07:09] ---**
    "Quite" amazing, eh?
**[07:11] ---**
    You're good with words.
**[07:13] ---**
    It's lightweight and
    has a sharp edge.
**[07:17] ---**
    You couldn't get it
    anywhere else for that price.
**[07:21] ---**
    Father also extends his thanks.
**[07:27] ---**
    I don't need your thanks…
**[07:29] ---**
    How about a discount on the price
    of this next request, Captain?
**[07:32] ---**
    That and this job
    are two separate things.
**[07:36] ---**
    I understand that, but…
**[07:39] ---**
    All right, so we have a mission.
**[07:42] ---**
    Do you understand the specifics?
**[07:44] ---**
    I don't get it, Minazuki Sensei!
**[07:47] ---**
    We just have to find a cat, right?
**[07:49] ---**
    So why do we have to wear this?!
**[07:52] ---**
    Tenma, as always,
    you're so sassy.
**[07:55] ---**
    Huh?! What did you say?
    You got a problem?
**[07:58] ---**
    Hey! Pipe down!
**[08:00] ---**
    You'll wake Tamaki!
**[08:15] ---**
    I'm not asking you to
    find a mere lost cat.
**[08:19] ---**
    It's a search for a Ninja Cat.
**[08:21] ---**
    What's more, you'll be going
    into the Den of Cats,
**[08:24] ---**
    where cats congregate.
**[08:26] ---**
    That explains this Ninja Tool.
**[08:30] ---**
    We need this Cat Tool which allows us
    to understand cat language meow?
**[08:34] ---**
    Still...
**[08:36] ---**
    If it's only intel work, why…
**[08:40] ---**
    Huh?!
**[08:45] ---**
    Wow…
**[08:46] ---**
    That really looks great on you.
**[08:49] ---**
    You graduated at the top
    of the class at the Academy!
**[08:52] ---**
    Have you no shame?
**[08:55] ---**
    Shame?
**[08:56] ---**
    Appearance has no place
    in undertaking a mission, does it?
**[08:59] ---**
    Huh?
**[09:00] ---**
    Okay, no fighting.
**[09:03] ---**
    This is the picture of the Ninja Cat
    that we're looking for.
**[09:07] ---**
    This cat is…
**[09:15] ---**
    Meow, meow, meow!
**[09:16] ---**
    Aww, don't say that,
    you're super cute! Meow, meow.
**[09:21] ---**
    You're wearing that thing,
    so cut it out with the cat-talk.
**[09:25] ---**
    It's even harder to understand,
    especially with your heavy accent.
**[09:30] ---**
    What?!
**[09:32] ---**
    It's a mission,
    so it can't be helped!
**[09:35] ---**
    That being said, this is
    an embarrassment to my clan…
**[09:38] ---**
    You say that,
**[09:40] ---**
    – Hey Shinko! What's so funny?!
    – but it looks so cute on you!
**[09:43] ---**
    All right! All right!
**[09:44] ---**
    First, let's gather intel.
**[09:47] ---**
    We'll split into two teams.
**[09:48] ---**
    Itachi and me,
    and Tenma with Shinko.
**[09:52] ---**
    Scatter!
**[09:55] ---**
    BLACK TORTISE DISTRICT
    RING DISTRICT
    HOT SPRINGS
    DEN CAVES
    
    Let's get going too!
**[09:56] ---**
    BLACK TORTISE DISTRICT
    RING DISTRICT
    HOT SPRINGS
    DEN CAVES
    
    
**[10:01] ---**
    HOT SPRINGS
**[10:13] ---**
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    
**[10:14] ---**
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    That was pretty quick.
**[10:15] ---**
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    
**[10:16] ---**
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    Let's rendezvous with Tenma and Shinko.
**[10:19] ---**
    All right. I'll go get them.
**[10:28] ---**
    So what's the matter?
**[10:31] ---**
    It's nothing…
**[10:34] ---**
    No, there's something…
**[10:37] ---**
    This current mission…
**[10:39] ---**
    Rather, that Ninja Cat.
**[10:45] ---**
    It seems that cat is pretty special.
**[10:48] ---**
    Huh? Since when are you
    a cat expert?
**[10:52] ---**
    I'm not!
**[10:53] ---**
    The leader of our clan…
**[10:56] ---**
    I mean, my dad's sick…
**[10:59] ---**
    The medicine for his treatment
**[11:00] ---**
    calls for some of
    that Ninja Cat's whiskers.
**[11:03] ---**
    Then you should take some, right?
**[11:06] ---**
    It's okay, right?
**[11:08] ---**
    I dunno.
**[11:11] ---**
    Keep me in the dark.
**[11:13] ---**
    If you take it without my knowing,
    it's okay.
**[11:18] ---**
    That's true.
**[11:19] ---**
    Just don't tell you-know-who!
**[11:21] ---**
    Huh? Talk about being a coward!
**[11:25] ---**
    Are you that jealous because Itachi,
    who's way younger than you,
**[11:28] ---**
    skipped a bunch of grades
    and graduated first in class?
**[11:32] ---**
    – If it wasn't for him…
    – What? You'd be ranked at the top?
**[11:37] ---**
    I didn't say that!
**[11:39] ---**
    Yeah, yeah…
**[11:43] ---**
    Anyway, Itachi sure is awesome…
**[11:46] ---**
    There's no point in
    competing with him.
**[11:47] ---**
    I'm not competing with him!
**[11:49] ---**
    And it has nothing to do
    with being top-ranked!
**[11:51] ---**
    We've found out the location
    of the Ninja Cat.
**[11:54] ---**
    Please regroup
    with Minazuki Sensei.
**[12:05] ---**
    Ah, rejected again!
**[12:07] ---**
    CATNIP LIQUOR
    
    And the clan just keeps harping on
    about me getting married…
**[12:14] ---**
    So he was chasing
    around some female cat
**[12:16] ---**
    and ended up here of all places…
**[12:17] ---**
    Seems like it.
**[12:20] ---**
    It seems as though our mission
    is complete, but…
**[12:25] ---**
    Okay, I'll go.
**[12:26] ---**
    Everyone, hang back here.
**[12:32] ---**
    Hey!
**[12:33] ---**
    What do you want?
**[12:34] ---**
    I just overheard your story
    and I sympathize,
**[12:38] ---**
    so I wanted to talk.
**[12:41] ---**
    Can you even understand
    the feelings of a male cat
**[12:43] ---**
    who's been rejected meow?
**[12:47] ---**
    I do! I do understand
    that feeling!
**[12:55] ---**
    I see…
**[12:56] ---**
    So you're not popular
    with the ladies either.
**[13:00] ---**
    Uh… yeah, that's it.
**[13:02] ---**
    Well, have a drink meow.
**[13:05] ---**
    They just don't understand
    a male's charm.
**[13:09] ---**
    That's why ladies just
    don't have perspective…
**[13:13] ---**
    or rather a discerning eye…
**[13:16] ---**
    Don't insult her!
**[13:19] ---**
    Looks like there's a breakdown
    in communications.
**[13:24] ---**
    Damn it!
**[13:25] ---**
    We should have done this
    from the start!
**[13:29] ---**
    What's going on meow,
    you brats?
**[13:33] ---**
    I'll take you on meow!
**[13:35] ---**
    You're not getting away!
**[13:52] ---**
    Damn it, he's going on ahead?!
**[14:19] ---**
    His paw…fluffy…fluffy…
**[14:25] ---**
    He's pretty good.
**[14:35] ---**
    *We have to do something*
    *about his mobility first…*
**[14:43] ---**
    *He's balancing himself with his tail.*
**[14:46] ---**
    *But that's not all…*
**[14:49] ---**
    *Those whiskers enhance*
    *his spatial perception.*
**[14:53] ---**
    *In that case…!*
**[15:04] ---**
    What are you aiming at meow?
**[15:12] ---**
    You're pretty good with the kunai,
**[15:14] ---**
    but you've still a ways to go, meow.
**[15:16] ---**
    Yeah, you're right.
**[15:18] ---**
    I thought I could have managed
    five millimeters more…
**[15:23] ---**
    Huh?!
**[15:33] ---**
    Things went well here…
**[15:35] ---**
    But will it be in time?
**[15:41] ---**
    Don't underestimate
    Speedy Tenma!
**[15:53] ---**
    This may end up causing
    more than just a scratch…
**[16:00] ---**
    I'm glad we were
    in time for both!
**[16:06] ---**
    I…did it!
**[16:13] ---**
    Thank you for your help.
**[16:16] ---**
    I did tell him to hurry up
    and settle down…
**[16:19] ---**
    But I never expected him
    to fall in love…
**[16:23] ---**
    This one has good skills,
    but no eye for judging females.
**[16:28] ---**
    I just wanted to find the best bride
    for the sake of our clan.
**[16:32] ---**
    The most important thing
    is that you're okay.
**[16:36] ---**
    You fulfilled the mission just
    as I requested…
**[16:39] ---**
    is what I'd like to say…
**[16:42] ---**
    But what happened
    to his whiskers?
**[16:45] ---**
    To keep the fighting to a minimum,
    there was no choice.
**[16:50] ---**
    So you cut them?
**[16:53] ---**
    Well, it's my fault for not giving you
    a heads up on his skills…
**[16:59] ---**
    You didn't bring them back?
**[17:01] ---**
    No… they blew away in the wind.
**[17:10] ---**
    Well, I guess it can't be helped.
**[17:13] ---**
    Thank you for your efforts.
**[17:16] ---**
    Itachi…
**[17:18] ---**
    Next time you come,
    I'll have you take care
**[17:20] ---**
    of the debts the Uchiha
    have racked up.
**[17:30] ---**
    Good thing you got
    what you needed, eh?
**[17:34] ---**
    Well, yeah…
**[17:35] ---**
    Cheer up, will ya?
**[17:38] ---**
    The fate of your clan rests on it, right?
**[17:41] ---**
    It's not that critical!
**[17:43] ---**
    But…
**[17:44] ---**
    If this cures my dad,
    my clan will be secure.
**[17:50] ---**
    *That Ninja Cat…*
**[17:53] ---**
    *And those grownups…*
**[17:55] ---**
    *They're all thinking about their clans…*
**[18:01] ---**
    You'd better not be thinking
    that you saved me.
**[18:05] ---**
    The thought hasn't crossed my mind.
**[18:06] ---**
    Even if you didn't end up
    helping me…
**[18:11] ---**
    What are you doing?!
**[18:13] ---**
    Why are you still
    saying stuff like that?
**[18:16] ---**
    He's your friend!
**[18:18] ---**
    Of course, he's going to help you!
**[18:20] ---**
    – Huh?! Me? His friend?!
    – I was just fulfilling my mission.
**[18:28] ---**
    You stop being
    so difficult as well!
**[18:32] ---**
    All right! Isn't there something
    you want to say to Itachi?!
**[18:36] ---**
    I swear I'll make it up
    to you for this!
**[18:42] ---**
    Why can't you just
    say thank you?!
**[18:47] ---**
    Shinko, that hurt too much!
**[18:51] ---**
    *Friend, huh?*
**[19:01] ---**
    Big Brother! What is this?
**[19:04] ---**
    This is…from that time…
**[19:13] ---**
    *Life is born, and life dies…*
**[19:16] ---**
    *But life is saved again…*
**[19:21] ---**
    *Wait…*
**[19:22] ---**
    *When I saved him back then,*
**[19:25] ---**
    *I didn't think too deeply about it.*
**[19:28] ---**
    *He's your friend!*
**[19:29] ---**
    *Of course,*
    *he's going to help you!*
**[19:32] ---**
    *A clan grows…*
**[19:33] ---**
    *A village is born…*
**[19:35] ---**
    *And bonds are made…*
**[19:38] ---**
    *If that's what friends are…*
**[19:41] ---**
    *We were friends, no doubt about it.*
**[19:44] ---**
    *We formed a bond…*
**[19:46] ---**
    *That's why that happened…*
**[19:55] ---**
    *We had a bond…*
**[19:59] ---**
    *That's why he…*
**[20:08] ---**
    *I swear I'll make it up*
    *to you for this!*
**[20:18] ---**
    *…died.*
**[20:23] ---**
    *I didn't understand back then…*
**[20:26] ---**
    *What real pain was.*
**[20:29] ---**
    *The pain of losing a life…*
**[20:32] ---**
    *I felt it for the first time*
    *after losing it…*
**[20:34] ---**
    *No, I was made to realize it…*
**[20:38] ---**
    *The feeling of not wanting*
    *to lose something precious.*
**[20:44] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[20:45] ---**
    Your eyes!
**[20:49] ---**
    *Will the day come when*
    *you'll possess these eyes too?
    *
**[20:54] ---**
    *The day when you come*
    *to know what sadness is?*
**[22:39] ---**
    All right, I'll be going.
    
    
**[22:40] ---**
    Big Brother!
    You promised we'd play today!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    That's right!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    But I have a mission.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Forgive me, Sasuke… Next time.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Sorry about that, Sasuke.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I'm going to borrow your brother
    for a little bit.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Shisui's Request"
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Sasuke was glaring at me too!

**[00:10] ---**
    Are you leaving already?
**[00:12] ---**
    Yes.
**[00:12] ---**
    I see…
**[00:15] ---**
    You awakened your Sharingan
    at age eight…
**[00:18] ---**
    I supposed the Village wants
    to observe your abilities.
**[00:23] ---**
    This just shows how much power
    and influence the Sharingan holds.
**[00:29] ---**
    I want you to be aware of that.
**[00:33] ---**
    It brings joy to the clan when
    one of its own excels.
**[00:38] ---**
    Of course, I'm very proud of you too.
**[00:49] ---**
    *He died…*
**[00:51] ---**
    *Father.*
**[00:52] ---**
    But, do not rest on your laurels
**[00:54] ---**
    just because you have
    the Sharingan now.
**[00:58] ---**
    In order to sharpen
    the power in your eyes,
**[00:59] ---**
    you must continue to be diligent.
**[01:02] ---**
    Well, I don't need to lecture you.
**[01:05] ---**
    You are my son, after all.
**[01:10] ---**
    *My friend died…*
**[01:12] ---**
    *But, Father is…*
**[01:16] ---**
    Yes, Father.
**[01:18] ---**
    I will continue to be diligent.
**[01:21] ---**
    Good.
**[01:22] ---**
    I'll be on my way now.
**[01:29] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[01:31] ---**
    You said you'd play with me today!
**[01:35] ---**
    That's right, I did, didn't I?
**[01:38] ---**
    But I have a mission.
**[01:39] ---**
    Forgive me, Sasuke. Next time.
**[01:44] ---**
    Sorry about that, Sasuke.
**[01:46] ---**
    I'm gonna borrow your brother
    for a little bit.
**[03:21] ---**
    *Itachi's Story – Light and Darkness:*
    *Shisui's Request*
    
    
    
**[03:25] ---**
    Why did you lie?
**[03:28] ---**
    Sasuke resents me now.
**[03:32] ---**
    NO TRESPASSING
    
    I know that was wrong of me…
**[03:35] ---**
    But Sasuke's a smart kid…
**[03:37] ---**
    I think he'll understand.
**[03:38] ---**
    "First, have one genin
    accompany you,
**[03:41] ---**
    "and secure the scroll in question."
**[03:45] ---**
    Even if my training exercise
    required a genin,
**[03:47] ---**
    it really didn't have to be you.
**[03:50] ---**
    Don't say that now!
**[03:52] ---**
    Even if it's not a real mission,
**[03:54] ---**
    none other than Shisui the jonin
    requested me.
**[03:56] ---**
    I'm not lying when
    I say it's a mission, right?
**[04:00] ---**
    Well, you're half right.
**[04:02] ---**
    Let's go.
**[04:08] ---**
    What are the details of
    the training exercise?
**[04:10] ---**
    There are three parts.
**[04:14] ---**
    The first part is to find traces left
    by a fugitive, and then to track him.
**[04:25] ---**
    Pretty good!
**[04:33] ---**
    Let's start from here.
**[04:46] ---**
    *A footprint left on moss…*
**[04:48] ---**
    *As expected from Shisui…*
**[04:50] ---**
    *He doesn't miss the slightest details.*
**[05:06] ---**
    This is…
**[05:07] ---**
    Our guy stepped on
    a piece of a branch…
**[05:10] ---**
    Very perceptive of you!
**[05:11] ---**
    But, that's just a decoy.
**[05:15] ---**
    Dry wood like that would snap
    when stepped on…
**[05:17] ---**
    but this piece still has
    a lot of moisture.
**[05:19] ---**
    Also, see this clean cut?
**[05:22] ---**
    Obviously, he was in a hurry
    to make a decoy…
**[05:26] ---**
    Sloppy work.
**[05:30] ---**
    Don't be disappointed…
**[05:32] ---**
    An animal could have left
    that indentation in the moss,
**[05:35] ---**
    but only humans make decoys.
**[05:36] ---**
    And if he laid the decoy
    over in that direction…
**[05:42] ---**
    A stone?
**[05:43] ---**
    Yes.
**[05:45] ---**
    The underside is dry
    and the top is damp.
**[05:50] ---**
    Could this be a decoy too?
**[05:52] ---**
    Well…That's very possible.
**[05:55] ---**
    The moisture on the rock will tell us
**[06:00] ---**
    how long ago he was here.
**[06:03] ---**
    I see!
**[06:05] ---**
    Judging from the dryness,
    only a short while has passed.
**[06:12] ---**
    This scent!
**[06:36] ---**
    Perfect!
**[06:37] ---**
    Let's go!
**[06:46] ---**
    I think a fish left that mark behind.
**[06:50] ---**
    So it's not a decoy?
**[06:52] ---**
    No. That's the main purpose
    of leaving decoys.
**[06:56] ---**
    Everything starts to look
    like them.
**[06:59] ---**
    Confusing their pursuers gives
    the fugitive many additional options.
**[07:04] ---**
    At this rate, there's no way
    I can find the fugitive by myself.
**[07:07] ---**
    I need to develop better
    tracking skills.
**[07:14] ---**
    You're half right.
**[07:24] ---**
    Here.
**[07:25] ---**
    Drink up.
**[07:32] ---**
    It's because you're exceptional, Itachi…
**[07:38] ---**
    That's why…
**[07:40] ---**
    I bet you've never tried
    to understand
**[07:42] ---**
    the feelings of someone who's not.
**[07:45] ---**
    Having the skills to track
    a fugitive is important,
**[07:47] ---**
    but so is understanding
    how he thinks.
**[07:51] ---**
    If you can understand his mindset,
**[07:53] ---**
    sometimes you can thwart
    a fugitive even without those skills.
**[07:57] ---**
    I see!
**[07:59] ---**
    So…
**[08:00] ---**
    Let's move on to the second part
    of the training exercise.
**[08:08] ---**
    The second part?
**[08:10] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:10] ---**
    To encamp at night.
**[08:12] ---**
    The textbook said campfires
    are prohibited.
**[08:16] ---**
    So does this mean there's another
    reason behind doing this?
**[08:19] ---**
    Just eat.
**[08:22] ---**
    You're exceptional, Itachi.
**[08:25] ---**
    I'm still inexperienced.
**[08:28] ---**
    Earlier, if I had more skills…
**[08:32] ---**
    That's true.
**[08:33] ---**
    Don't laugh!
**[08:35] ---**
    Sorry, sorry…
    It just makes me happy.
**[08:39] ---**
    "Happy"?
**[08:40] ---**
    Huh? No!
**[08:42] ---**
    Just listen…
**[08:44] ---**
    I thought that there was really nothing
    I could teach you.
**[08:49] ---**
    But…
**[08:50] ---**
    You taught me a lot today.
**[08:52] ---**
    Yeah… And that's what
    made me happy.
**[08:57] ---**
    So…
**[08:58] ---**
    Hmm?
**[09:00] ---**
    What about this campfire?
**[09:01] ---**
    Oh…
**[09:03] ---**
    It's nice to share a meal with
    someone you feel at ease with.
**[09:07] ---**
    Enjoying a hot meal helps
    cheer you up.
**[09:13] ---**
    Eat it while it's hot.
**[09:21] ---**
    Yeah… It's warm and tasty!
**[09:23] ---**
    Told you so!
**[09:26] ---**
    *But…*
**[09:27] ---**
    *If I'm really exceptional…*
**[09:30] ---**
    *He wouldn't have died.*
**[09:34] ---**
    *I'm still so inexperienced.*
**[09:37] ---**
    *So why would someone like me…*
**[09:41] ---**
    I…
**[09:42] ---**
    Hmm?
**[09:43] ---**
    Awakened the Sharingan…
**[09:46] ---**
    I see…
**[09:49] ---**
    Is that why…you lied?
**[09:52] ---**
    "Lied"?
**[09:53] ---**
    You said the same thing
    at the start of practice.
**[09:56] ---**
    You're good at fooling yourself.
**[10:00] ---**
    That's why you can't grasp
    your true feelings.
**[10:05] ---**
    You didn't want to stay
    at home, right?
**[10:08] ---**
    That's the look you had
    on your face.
**[10:18] ---**
    That might be true…
**[10:21] ---**
    *Shisui picked up on how*
    *I felt from the very beginning…*
**[10:25] ---**
    I'll be happy to listen any time
    you want to talk.
**[10:37] ---**
    The final part of the training
    exercise is about to start.
**[10:58] ---**
    I'll assist you to the best
    of my abilities!
**[11:03] ---**
    The pursuers are ANBU?!
**[11:04] ---**
    Is this an exercise?
**[11:06] ---**
    No…
**[11:07] ---**
    Put that out of your mind for now.
**[11:09] ---**
    Why are you attacking
    a fellow Leaf shinobi?
**[11:12] ---**
    Would you consider forgetting that
    you saw this and leaving?
**[11:16] ---**
    If you're going to kill a comrade,
**[11:18] ---**
    I can't look the other way
    without hearing a reason!
**[11:21] ---**
    The truth is…
**[11:23] ---**
    We're going after those
    who betrayed the village.
**[11:25] ---**
    Where's the proof that
    he betrayed you?
**[11:28] ---**
    What a waste of time.
**[11:30] ---**
    Let's just kill them all.
**[11:32] ---**
    Just wait…
**[11:33] ---**
    It's not that he's a traitor.
**[11:37] ---**
    But he has evidence that proves
    who the traitor is in that scroll.
**[11:41] ---**
    If he hands it over, we will disappear.
**[11:45] ---**
    So she says…
**[11:48] ---**
    You want the intel…
    but for what purpose?
**[11:51] ---**
    Isn't it obvious?!
**[11:53] ---**
    Anyone who threatens the village
    will be punished…
**[11:56] ---**
    We maintain the order in Leaf Village
    with our code of darkness!
**[12:00] ---**
    You don't have the right to judge!
**[12:03] ---**
    I will hand this secret missive
    to Lord Hokage…
**[12:06] ---**
    Lord Hokage will make
    a fair and just judgment!
**[12:10] ---**
    "A fair and just judgment"?
**[12:12] ---**
    How naïve.
**[12:14] ---**
    You betray the village, you die.
    That's that.
**[12:17] ---**
    Even a traitor has
    a reason behind their actions!
**[12:20] ---**
    The Hokage's wish is
    to investigate that carefully.
**[12:24] ---**
    *That's one way of thinking.*
**[12:26] ---**
    *However…*
**[12:27] ---**
    *This involves the entire village.*
**[12:30] ---**
    *The gravity of one traitor versus*
    *one village is far too great.*
**[12:33] ---**
    *What would Shisui…?*
**[12:39] ---**
    He took the opportunity to
    substitute himself out
**[12:41] ---**
    while we were "advising" him…
**[12:43] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[12:44] ---**
    My wire is coated with poison.
**[12:48] ---**
    His body will go numb and
    he won't go far.
**[12:50] ---**
    Without words, they carry out
    their purpose with blades…
**[12:53] ---**
    Leave it to the ANBU…
**[12:55] ---**
    Or rather, Lord Danzo's Foundation, right?
**[12:59] ---**
    Nameless individuals who maintain
    peace from the shadows…
**[13:02] ---**
    I believe that is a true shinobi.
**[13:04] ---**
    Then you share our beliefs.
**[13:07] ---**
    No, you're wrong!
**[13:08] ---**
    Order maintained through
    the power of the blade…
**[13:14] ---**
    …is not peace!
**[13:17] ---**
    I…
**[13:19] ---**
    Itachi…stay out of this!
**[13:22] ---**
    I am Itachi Uchiha!
**[13:23] ---**
    I will fight alongside Shisui!
**[13:25] ---**
    Itachi!
**[13:38] ---**
    *So this is the how the ANBU fight.*
**[13:41] ---**
    The Uchiha would dare to
    push their luck and defy us?
**[13:45] ---**
    We will not show mercy,
    even to children.
**[13:49] ---**
    At least make it fun for us!
**[14:03] ---**
    The one your friend is fighting,
**[14:06] ---**
    is a kunoichi who's unrivaled
    within the Foundation.
**[14:09] ---**
    If you don't stop him quickly,
    he will die.
**[14:12] ---**
    Retreat!
**[14:13] ---**
    Don't underestimate the Uchiha!
**[14:15] ---**
    Besides…he's exceptional!
**[14:30] ---**
    Sharingan!
**[14:45] ---**
    *She keeps mixing it up*
    *with double and triple layers.*
**[14:48] ---**
    *But…!*
**[14:51] ---**
    *I thought he was just a child,*
    *but he has the Sharingan already?*
**[15:12] ---**
    *I can see it!*
**[15:14] ---**
    So this is the power of the Sharingan!*
**[15:22] ---**
    There's no right way or
    wrong way to fight in a battle.
**[15:25] ---**
    But…
**[15:26] ---**
    I've already seen
    through your attacks.
**[15:30] ---**
    I don't think so…
**[15:32] ---**
    You have already fallen into my trap.
**[15:37] ---**
    You're pretty good,
    even though you're a child.
**[15:51] ---**
    What--? How?!
**[15:53] ---**
    I told you…
**[15:55] ---**
    I've seen through your attacks.
**[15:57] ---**
    That threaded ninja tool you threw…
**[16:00] ---**
    I changed its trajectory
    just a little bit.
**[16:03] ---**
    You…damn Uchiha!
**[16:11] ---**
    Itachi seems to be doing fine.
**[16:13] ---**
    So I'll end things on my end!
**[16:18] ---**
    Teleportation Jutsu!
**[16:22] ---**
    Shadow Clones…
**[16:24] ---**
    No, they're just Afterimage Clones.
**[16:26] ---**
    If they're just afterimages,
    I'll sense out the real one…
**[16:31] ---**
    What…? This is weird.
**[16:33] ---**
    I can't see the real one!
**[16:44] ---**
    Get the hell outta here!
**[16:51] ---**
    *He didn't fly off!*
**[16:52] ---**
    *Namely…he has no mass.*
    *But his attack is powerful…*
**[16:56] ---**
    *What's going on?*
**[16:58] ---**
    My Teleportation Jutsu has no mass.
**[17:01] ---**
    But you could say everything has mass.
**[17:07] ---**
    It seems the jonin observing
    our training exercise have noticed.
**[17:13] ---**
    We will be watching you
    from the shadows…
**[17:17] ---**
    Shisui Uchiha… Itachi Uchiha!
**[17:29] ---**
    This is…!
**[17:30] ---**
    It's not a fatal wound.
    Don't worry about it.
**[17:36] ---**
    Back then…if I had observed
    the enemy more carefully…
**[17:40] ---**
    Never mind that…
**[17:42] ---**
    He wants us to forget
    this incident ever happened.
**[17:45] ---**
    His life was threatened! So why?
**[17:48] ---**
    If this incident becomes known,
**[17:50] ---**
    it will sow the seeds
    for a new conflict.
**[17:53] ---**
    This is not what Lord Hokage wants.
**[17:56] ---**
    *The ones who aid peace from*
    *the shadows are also…nameless.*
**[18:05] ---**
    So there was fighting,
**[18:06] ---**
    but you assumed it was part
    of the training exercise?
**[18:10] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[18:12] ---**
    They were extremely strong,
**[18:13] ---**
    and I was doing my best
    to protect the genin,
**[18:16] ---**
    so I didn't see their faces…
**[18:17] ---**
    No, we're at fault for not catching
    their infiltration too.
**[18:22] ---**
    I'm glad neither of you are hurt.
**[18:26] ---**
    I'd like to talk to you more
    about this tomorrow.
**[18:30] ---**
    But this training exercise is over.
**[18:33] ---**
    Itachi, let's go home.
**[18:38] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[18:42] ---**
    Ah… You sprained your ankle.
**[18:44] ---**
    You're making a big deal
    out of nothing.
**[18:47] ---**
    When you first awaken
    the Sharingan,
**[18:50] ---**
    sometimes there's a "slight gap"
**[18:52] ---**
    between the image your brain foresees
    and your body's reaction time.
**[18:56] ---**
    And when you try too hard to
    compensate for that slight gap…
**[19:00] ---**
    this happens.
**[19:02] ---**
    I said you're making
    a big deal out of nothing.
**[19:05] ---**
    Oww!
**[19:06] ---**
    No matter how exceptional
    you are, Itachi…
**[19:08] ---**
    don't overdo it.
**[19:17] ---**
    It's not funny!
**[19:19] ---**
    I'm sorry!
**[19:20] ---**
    I'm just happy.
**[19:22] ---**
    You're really like
    a kid brother to me.
**[19:27] ---**
    So being able to take you under
    my wing like this makes me happy.
**[19:32] ---**
    I want you to think of me
    as your older brother
**[19:34] ---**
    and depend on me for anything.
**[19:38] ---**
    Shisui…
**[19:39] ---**
    Hmm?
**[19:40] ---**
    About the ANBU…
**[19:42] ---**
    Oh…
**[19:43] ---**
    Did I make the right decision?
**[19:45] ---**
    I won't say yes.
**[19:46] ---**
    I don't even know
    if there is such a thing as justice
**[19:49] ---**
    in the Shinobi World.
**[19:51] ---**
    But that's…!
**[19:52] ---**
    We fight believing in our own justice.
**[19:55] ---**
    But if the enemy is doing
    the same thing, who's right?
**[20:00] ---**
    You realized that during
    today's exercise, didn't you?
**[20:02] ---**
    There's more than
    one side to an issue.
**[20:05] ---**
    You must consider things
    from various viewpoints.
**[20:08] ---**
    "Various…viewpoints"?
**[20:11] ---**
    You must be tired from
    using your Sharingan.
**[20:14] ---**
    Go ahead and sleep.
**[20:18] ---**
    But there's one thing that's certain…
**[20:21] ---**
    I will never, ever betray you.
**[20:26] ---**
    That's the one thing
    that's certain.
**[20:36] ---**
    *So it's come to this.*
**[20:38] ---**
    *Shisui…*
**[20:40] ---**
    *I'm…*
**[20:48] ---**
    I'm Itachi Uchiha.
    I'll be part of ANBU from today.
**[20:53] ---**
    I'm looking forward
    to working with you.
**[20:57] ---**
    *I'm going to watch over the Hidden Leaf*
    *from within the shadows.*
**[22:38] ---**
    Starting from today,
    you are an ANBU squad leader.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    You're not part of the Foundation,
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    but your missions will
    come from me.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    There's no need to tell
    Hiruzen about this.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Yes, sir.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    I know it's sudden but,
    I have a mission for you.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    It's a simple assassination.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Moonlit Night"
    
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I'm assigning the two behind
    you as your subordinates.

**[00:15] ---**
    When's the light gonna fade?!
**[00:17] ---**
    Just calm down, loser.
**[00:19] ---**
    How can I?!
**[00:20] ---**
    We don't know what's happening
    to everyone outside!
**[00:23] ---**
    All we can do right now is wait.
**[00:25] ---**
    Until the Infinite Tsukuyomi subsides,
    we can't go outside.
**[02:01] ---**
    *Itachi's Story –*
    *Light and Darkness: Moonlit Night*
    
    
    
**[02:06] ---**
    That's my boy!
**[02:08] ---**
    You've become a member of
    the ANBU and I'm very proud.
**[02:12] ---**
    However, keep this
    close to your heart.
**[02:15] ---**
    Though you're an ANBU,
**[02:18] ---**
    you are first and foremost
    Itachi of the Uchiha Clan.
**[02:22] ---**
    Yes.
**[02:26] ---**
    You're the only one I can count on,
    my best friend.
**[02:31] ---**
    Protect the Village,
    and the Uchiha name.
**[02:37] ---**
    If I die, many things will change…
**[02:40] ---**
    I've left a note.
**[02:43] ---**
    Shisui?!
**[02:45] ---**
    Don't stop me, Itachi…
**[02:47] ---**
    If you're truly my friend.
**[02:50] ---**
    Shisui!
**[03:00] ---**
    Shisui Uchiha, who threw himself
    into the Nakano River
**[03:03] ---**
    and killed himself last night…
**[03:05] ---**
    I'M TIRED OF MISSIONS. IF THINGS
    CONTINUE, THERE'S NO FUTURE LEFT
    FOR THE UCHIHA...AND FOR ME.
    I CAN NO LONGER GO AGAINST THIS PATH.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
**[03:07] ---**
    I'M TIRED OF MISSIONS. IF THINGS
    CONTINUE, THERE'S NO FUTURE LEFT
    FOR THE UCHIHA...AND FOR ME.
    I CAN NO LONGER GO AGAINST THIS PATH.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Why don't you come out and say it?
**[03:09] ---**
    Why don't you come out and say it?
**[03:11] ---**
    You suspect me, don't you?
**[03:14] ---**
    Yeah, we do, you punk.
**[03:16] ---**
    Listen, Itachi.
**[03:17] ---**
    Just try and betray the clan.
**[03:20] ---**
    And you'll pay big time.
**[03:27] ---**
    The clan, the clan...
**[03:30] ---**
    You overestimate your own abilities,
**[03:33] ---**
    and have no idea about
    the depth of my own.
**[03:35] ---**
    That's why you're
    groveling there now.
**[03:38] ---**
    Stop, Itachi!
**[03:41] ---**
    What is going on?
**[03:43] ---**
    Just wha—
**[03:47] ---**
    There's no hope left…
**[03:49] ---**
    for this pathetic clan.
**[03:52] ---**
    Brother!
**[03:53] ---**
    Please stop!
**[04:02] ---**
    *Observe carefully with*
    *those eyes...*
**[04:04] ---**
    *Sasuke.*
**[04:07] ---**
    *Observe how shallow this clan is.*
**[04:14] ---**
    From today, you are now
    an ANBU squad leader.
**[04:18] ---**
    It's not the Foundation,
**[04:21] ---**
    but mission orders
    will come from me…
**[04:23] ---**
    There is no need to report this
    to Hiruzen and his staff.
**[04:28] ---**
    Yes.
**[04:29] ---**
    Without further pause,
    I have a mission for you.
**[04:31] ---**
    It's a simple assassination.
**[04:36] ---**
    The two behind you will assist you.
**[04:38] ---**
    We are your subordinates from today.
**[04:40] ---**
    We're honored to be of service.
**[04:59] ---**
    Good work…
**[05:01] ---**
    By the way...
**[05:02] ---**
    While you were away,
**[05:04] ---**
    the surveillance team that is
    covering the Uchiha reported that
**[05:07] ---**
    the Leaf Police is strengthening
    their armaments.
**[05:11] ---**
    What does this signify?
**[05:14] ---**
    Resentment towards the Village has
    been increasing among the Uchiha.
**[05:20] ---**
    So we can't ignore it?
**[05:23] ---**
    No.

**[05:50] ---**
    Welcome home, Big Brother!
**[05:52] ---**
    I'm going to go train.
**[05:55] ---**
    Come with me.
**[05:56] ---**
    I'm exhausted from my mission.
**[05:59] ---**
    You never get tired, Big Brother.
**[06:02] ---**
    Ouch!
**[06:08] ---**
    Forgive me, Sasuke.
    Maybe some other time.
**[06:11] ---**
    Man!
**[06:22] ---**
    You know about the clan meeting
    in three days, right?
**[06:27] ---**
    No.
**[06:29] ---**
    Come alone to the Nakano Shrine
    after the meeting.
**[06:33] ---**
    Without your ANBU subordinates.
**[06:35] ---**
    I'll be leaving tomorrow on
    a mission away from the Village.
**[06:39] ---**
    Don't run away.
**[06:41] ---**
    "Run away"?
**[06:43] ---**
    From what?
**[06:45] ---**
    From your Uchiha destiny…
**[06:49] ---**
    Do you understand?
    I'll be waiting.
**[07:07] ---**
    You two standby here.
**[07:09] ---**
    But, Captain!
**[07:11] ---**
    Just report that to Lord Danzo.
**[07:18] ---**
    Within the clan, only those
    who possess the Sharingan
**[07:21] ---**
    can read the stone tablet…
**[07:23] ---**
    And even then,
    they can read only part of it.
**[07:25] ---**
    But with your Mangekyo Sharingan,
    you should be able to read further.
**[07:31] ---**
    So you want me to
    tell you what it says?
**[07:34] ---**
    That's not necessary.
**[07:37] ---**
    Mangekyo?!
**[07:38] ---**
    You have them too, Father?
**[07:40] ---**
    It was during
    the Third Great Ninja War…
**[07:43] ---**
    My friend gave his life to save me.
**[07:48] ---**
    Along with his tears of blood,
    the Mangekyo was born.
**[07:52] ---**
    The Uchiha's way to salvation
    is carved into this stone.
**[07:57] ---**
    But even with
    the Mangekyo Sharingan,
**[08:00] ---**
    the end cannot be deciphered.
**[08:03] ---**
    It seems we still have a way to go.
**[08:07] ---**
    However, even if it's part way,
**[08:09] ---**
    once you read it,
    you will understand, Itachi.
**[08:12] ---**
    The current situation forced upon
    the Uchiha Clan right is wrong.
**[08:16] ---**
    Even so, to use force
    to overcome it is…
**[08:20] ---**
    The higher-ups of the Village fear us.
**[08:23] ---**
    That is why they persecute us...
**[08:26] ---**
    out of fear towards our Sharingan.
**[08:28] ---**
    You're right.
**[08:30] ---**
    They fear we will
    control the Nine Tails
**[08:33] ---**
    with the power of the Sharingan.
**[08:35] ---**
    That's just…
**[08:36] ---**
    …the legend of Madara Uchiha.
**[08:39] ---**
    Since then, no one has done
    something like that.
**[08:41] ---**
    We don't even know if anyone can.
**[08:44] ---**
    But the higher-ups cling to
    the ghosts of the past,
**[08:47] ---**
    and keep us at a distance out of fear.
**[08:50] ---**
    If they fear us…
**[08:52] ---**
    there is nothing else left to do,
    but for us to control them.
**[08:55] ---**
    Will you use force
    to become the Hokage?
**[08:58] ---**
    It's because the clan wishes it.
**[09:01] ---**
    I can't stop them.
**[09:04] ---**
    But I want to avoid
    the use of brute force.
**[09:06] ---**
    That is why I kept
    my Mangekyo Sharingan a secret.
**[09:10] ---**
    Why?
**[09:11] ---**
    I can control the Nine Tails
    with Mangekyo Sharingan.
**[09:15] ---**
    If the clan learns of this,
    they would desire even more.
**[09:20] ---**
    Watch!
**[09:24] ---**
    *We've brought the Jinchuriki!*
**[09:27] ---**
    *Let's do it!*
**[09:27] ---**
    *The captain can do it!*
**[09:28] ---**
    *- Captain!*
    *- Please!*
**[09:30] ---**
    *Use the power of the Uchiha!*
**[09:52] ---**
    That's!
**[09:54] ---**
    Many in the clan resent the Village.
**[09:58] ---**
    When you're pushed into a corner,
    you'll resort to things like this.
**[10:01] ---**
    There will be much bloodshed
    on both sides.
**[10:04] ---**
    But Itachi...
**[10:05] ---**
    if you are with me…
**[10:09] ---**
    We can take them by surprise
    and restrain the higher-ups.
**[10:13] ---**
    Some fighting will ensue,
**[10:15] ---**
    but with your help as
    a member of ANBU,
**[10:20] ---**
    a bloodless revolution can happen!
**[10:23] ---**
    "A bloodless revolution"?!
**[10:25] ---**
    Itachi, you're my son. Please!
**[10:29] ---**
    Save our clan!
**[10:35] ---**
    Captain?
**[10:36] ---**
    Your orders.
**[10:39] ---**
    FIRE
    
**[10:42] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan…
**[10:44] ---**
    is intent on revolting against
    the Hidden Leaf.
**[10:49] ---**
    There's no time to waste.
**[10:51] ---**
    We must strike preemptively
    before them.
**[10:55] ---**
    The Uchiha were our comrades
    in arms in past wars…
**[10:58] ---**
    I would like to use words
    before violence.
**[11:01] ---**
    I will come up with a way.
**[11:04] ---**
    Despite what Lord Third said…
    when push comes to shove…
**[11:08] ---**
    He will do what whatever it takes
    to protect the Hidden Leaf.
**[11:11] ---**
    I want you to choose.
**[11:13] ---**
    Align with the Uchiha and
    launch the coup d'état,
**[11:16] ---**
    and be slaughtered
    along with your family…
**[11:18] ---**
    Or side with the Leaf,
**[11:20] ---**
    and before they attempt
    a coup d'état,
**[11:21] ---**
    eliminate every Uchiha
    except your younger brother?
**[11:25] ---**
    *Eliminate the Uchiha…*
**[11:27] ---**
    In order to protect the Leaf,
**[11:29] ---**
    every possible step must
    be taken to avoid mayhem.
**[11:33] ---**
    The only one that can
    handle this mission is you,
**[11:36] ---**
    a double agent for both
    the Uchiha and the Leaf.
**[11:39] ---**
    There is no one else, Itachi.
**[11:42] ---**
    Will you accept this mission?
**[11:49] ---**
    *The Village…the clan…shinobi…*
**[11:53] ---**
    *Is fighting…inevitable?*
**[11:58] ---**
    *The Village or the clan…*
**[12:03] ---**
    *What should I do?*
**[12:13] ---**
    I wasn't serious just now.
**[12:15] ---**
    Yes , you were, loser.
**[12:18] ---**
    If I were serious,
    I would have beaten you!
**[12:21] ---**
    This time, I challenge you
    to the high jump!
**[12:23] ---**
    You're no match for me.
**[12:25] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[12:42] ---**
    Hey…
**[12:48] ---**
    There's something I would
    like you to help me with.
**[13:17] ---**
    LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
**[13:22] ---**
    Who are you?!
**[13:49] ---**
    Itachi...
**[13:50] ---**
    What lies beyond this slaughter?
**[13:54] ---**
    Are you going to show me...
**[13:57] ---**
    a different future
    from the one I showed you?
**[14:02] ---**
    This.
**[14:06] ---**
    LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
**[14:15] ---**
    Oh...
**[14:16] ---**
    Such fine eyes.
**[14:19] ---**
    No way!
**[14:26] ---**
    Help…Itachi.
**[14:28] ---**
    Help me!
**[14:34] ---**
    This is what I see for the future
    of the village…and for the clan.
**[14:39] ---**
    I see…
**[14:41] ---**
    *Sasuke, eh?*
**[14:44] ---**
    A shadow Clone!
**[14:47] ---**
    *Father is the worst possible*
    *enemy for me.*
**[14:51] ---**
    *This is going to be a battle*
    *of Mangekyo Sharingan…*
**[15:09] ---**
    Over here…
**[15:11] ---**
    There are no traps.
    Come inside.
**[15:23] ---**
    Father!
**[15:25] ---**
    I don't want to participate in
    a death match…with my son.
**[15:31] ---**
    I see…
**[15:32] ---**
    You've aligned with the other side.
**[15:35] ---**
    Father, Mother…
**[15:38] ---**
    I…
**[15:39] ---**
    We already know, Itachi…
**[15:43] ---**
    Itachi, promise me this.
**[15:48] ---**
    Take care of Sasuke.
**[16:01] ---**
    I will.
**[16:06] ---**
    Do not fear it.
**[16:08] ---**
    This is the path you've chosen.
**[16:11] ---**
    Compared to yours,
    our pain will end in an instant.
**[16:15] ---**
    Our philosophies may differ,
    but I'm proud of you.
**[16:25] ---**
    You truly are a kind child.
**[16:44] ---**
    It's over.
**[16:46] ---**
    You're…
**[16:48] ---**
    Never mind. Shall we go?
**[16:50] ---**
    Go on ahead.
**[16:51] ---**
    I'm going to confirm things…
    with the Leaf higher-ups.
**[17:02] ---**
    First, you have my thanks.
**[17:04] ---**
    Civil war has been averted
    in the Hidden Leaf.
**[17:07] ---**
    We have maintained peace.
**[17:10] ---**
    Yes.
**[17:11] ---**
    However, I regret that there was
    no other way to achieve this.
**[17:17] ---**
    I apologize.
**[17:19] ---**
    I'm the one who must apologize.
**[17:22] ---**
    You will now be branded
    a Rogue Ninja
**[17:25] ---**
    who massacred his entire clan,
**[17:26] ---**
    and be listed in the Bingo Book
    as a fugitive, wanted dead or alive.
**[17:30] ---**
    That goes without saying.
**[17:32] ---**
    What will you do from now?
**[17:34] ---**
    I've found aid from a group
    called the "Akatsuki."
**[17:37] ---**
    I intend to stay close to them
**[17:40] ---**
    in order to make sure
    a promise is not broken.
**[17:48] ---**
    What do you want now?
**[17:50] ---**
    You're a Rogue Ninja listed
    in the Bingo Book, Captain.
**[17:53] ---**
    An S-class, no less.
**[17:54] ---**
    As Foundation members, we want to
    make it appear like we pursued you.
**[17:59] ---**
    - Please go easy on us.
    - Please go easy on us.
**[18:06] ---**
    Your swordsmanship hints at more
    than just maintaining "appearances."
**[18:10] ---**
    The Sharingan won't work.
**[18:12] ---**
    We won't look into your eyes.
**[18:20] ---**
    A genjutsu?!
**[18:25] ---**
    How?!
**[18:26] ---**
    When you first came to me
    as my subordinates…
**[18:30] ---**
    *We are your subordinates from today.*
**[18:34] ---**
    I imbedded a suggestion in case
    you turned your sword on me.
**[18:38] ---**
    You didn't trust us…
    from the very beginning?
**[18:43] ---**
    I was a double agent.
**[18:46] ---**
    I see through the eyes of
    both the Leaf and the Uchiha.
**[18:50] ---**
    To be frank,
    I don't know whose spy I was...
**[18:53] ---**
    even to this day.
**[18:58] ---**
    Within the organization,
**[19:00] ---**
    I'm known as Tobi.
**[19:02] ---**
    I'm not an official member.
**[19:05] ---**
    I'm a newbie within the Akatsuki
**[19:06] ---**
    who doesn't possess
    any spectacular jutsu.
**[19:09] ---**
    You should…
    treat me the same way.
**[19:12] ---**
    Why hide your true identity?
**[19:14] ---**
    If word gets out that
    Madara Uchiha is still alive…
**[19:16] ---**
    things could become complicated.
**[19:20] ---**
    Only the leader of Akatsuki,
    who we're meeting now,
**[19:23] ---**
    knows my true identity.
**[19:29] ---**
    Why, it's Itachi.
**[19:32] ---**
    It's been a long time.
**[19:33] ---**
    Mr. Orochimaru…
**[19:35] ---**
    That's right.
    You're from the same region.
**[19:38] ---**
    Is this going to be
    a touching reunion?
**[19:40] ---**
    I heard the rumors.
**[19:42] ---**
    I knew it…
    so you were a shinobi like us…
**[19:46] ---**
    "Like us"?
**[19:48] ---**
    Those who consider bonds like
    the village, the clan and comrades...
**[19:51] ---**
    to be a burden.
**[19:55] ---**
    The goal of the Akatsuki…
**[19:57] ---**
    is a world of true peace
    among shinobi.
**[20:00] ---**
    Instead of the Five Great
    Shinobi Nations,
**[20:02] ---**
    the Akatsuki shall rule the world.
**[20:05] ---**
    That's a big goal.
**[20:07] ---**
    That's why we're assembling
    skilled shinobi
**[20:11] ---**
    without asking where they're from
    or what they've done.
**[20:13] ---**
    Itachi of the Hidden Leaf,
    we welcome you into the Akatsuki.
**[20:18] ---**
    From this moment on,
    reject the Hidden Leaf.
**[20:30] ---**
    From now…
    you are Itachi of the Akatsuki.
**[20:35] ---**
    SHU
    
**[20:38] ---**
    Show the world pain…
**[20:53] ---**
    Juzo...
**[20:54] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:55] ---**
    Form a two-man team with Itachi.
**[20:59] ---**
    Okay.
**[21:03] ---**
    Follow me, newbie.
**[21:05] ---**
    Yes.
**[22:49] ---**
    So Itachi, have you gotten
    used to the Akatsuki?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    How would you feel about changing
    partners and teaming up with me?
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    I second changing partners!
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    I'd like you to think about this
    some more, leader.
    
    
**[23:07] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Darkness of the Akatsuki."
    
    
    
**[23:11] ---**

**[01:41] ---**
    *Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness:*
    *The Darkness of the Akatsuki*
    
    
**[02:07] ---**
    Do you know a shinobi
    named Might Dai?
**[02:10] ---**
    I know a Might Guy.
**[02:13] ---**
    Huh, well that’s the kid from that time.
**[02:17] ---**
    I was one of the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen of the Mist.
**[02:21] ---**
    Thanks to Might Dai,
    the seven of us got cut down to three.
**[02:28] ---**
    Who could have expected that
    scuzzy bearded jerk
**[02:31] ---**
    would use taijutsu like that?
**[02:33] ---**
    Anyway, I wanna make
    something clear...
**[02:37] ---**
    I could care less why
    you joined the Akatsuki.
**[02:41] ---**
    I don’t even want
    to hear your reason.
**[02:44] ---**
    It doesn’t matter why I joined either.
**[02:49] ---**
    And it’s okay if
    you don’t want to know.
**[02:52] ---**
    Listen to me!
**[02:59] ---**
    There’s something
    I need to ask you.
**[03:03] ---**
    And…
**[03:05] ---**
    It’s about your ninjutsu specialties.
**[03:08] ---**
    As you see, I use this Executioner’s Blade
    and cut up enemies.
**[03:15] ---**
    So? How about you?
**[03:17] ---**
    Genjutsu, Fire Style and Shuriken Jutsu.
**[03:20] ---**
    You’re awfully humble!
**[03:23] ---**
    Former ANBU Itachi Uchiha, Itachi of
    the Sharingan, the Clan-Killer Itachi...
**[03:27] ---**
    People throw around many nicknames
    for you...you’re notorious.
**[03:35] ---**
    Let’s decide on our formations.
**[03:37] ---**
    You’ll start with a preemptive attack
**[03:40] ---**
    with your genjutsu, shuriken or
    whatever’s your specialty.
**[03:44] ---**
    Then I’ll jump in.
**[03:46] ---**
    And you back me up.
**[03:49] ---**
    That will be Formation B
**[03:51] ---**
    What’s A?
**[03:53] ---**
    We each do things our own way.
**[03:56] ---**
    Understood.
**[03:58] ---**
    One word of warning.
**[04:00] ---**
    Don’t take any opponent for granted.
**[04:05] ---**
    Understood.
**[04:19] ---**
    - Who are you?
    - Get out of our way!
**[04:21] ---**
    Shinobi villages only say things
    about peace and order,
**[04:25] ---**
    but they’re really worried
    about their roles shrinking.
**[04:28] ---**
    Behind the scenes,
    they’re all trying
**[04:31] ---**
    to lessen their opponent’s power
    while increasing their own.
**[04:34] ---**
    All the while, preventing other nations
    from finding out their schemes.
**[04:39] ---**
    That’s why the Akatsuki gets jobs.
**[04:41] ---**
    The more peaceful the world is,
    the more work we get...
**[04:45] ---**
    We accept every request.
    We don’t care about the details.
**[04:50] ---**
    You scoundrels!
**[04:52] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
**[05:01] ---**
    Why you—!
**[05:10] ---**
    That’s why…
**[05:12] ---**
    We don’t know who’s inside
    this palanquin…
**[05:14] ---**
    And we don’t want to know either.
**[05:26] ---**
    There’s also no need to think about
**[05:29] ---**
    who the hell would pay us
    to do such dirty work.
**[05:41] ---**
    That’s what the Akatsuki is about.
**[05:44] ---**
    Pain, the leader, said the Akatsuki
    was going to rule the world.
**[05:49] ---**
    That won’t be for a long time.
**[05:51] ---**
    We first need to amass money
    and power.
**[05:57] ---**
    Speak of the devil,
    he’s summoning us.
**[06:18] ---**
    So Itachi, have you gotten
    used to the Akatsuki?
**[06:22] ---**
    How would you feel about changing
    partners and teaming up with me?
**[06:28] ---**
    Hey, we’re just getting
    our formation down.
**[06:32] ---**
    Don’t try to steal him.
**[06:34] ---**
    I second changing partners...
**[06:38] ---**
    There’s an aspect called compatibility...
**[06:40] ---**
    I wish our leader would put
    a bit more thought into this.
**[06:44] ---**
    You’re one to talk, you damn snake!
**[06:54] ---**
    Thanks to your work, Akatsuki’s reputation
    is growing in the underworld.
**[07:00] ---**
    The jobs we’re getting are
    becoming bigger in scale,
**[07:03] ---**
    which means higher compensation
    as well.
**[07:06] ---**
    But that’s only just a step.
**[07:09] ---**
    And the Akatsuki is ready to
    move on to the next step…
**[07:15] ---**
    which are the Tailed Beasts.
**[07:17] ---**
    There’re supposed to be nine of ‘em.
    Are those the Tailed Beasts?
**[07:20] ---**
    The Five Great Ninja Nations
    harbor most of them.
**[07:24] ---**
    But the whereabouts are unknown
    for a few of them.
**[07:27] ---**
    Those who aren’t on a job
    will try to locate them.
**[07:31] ---**
    So we just have to locate them?
**[07:33] ---**
    For now.
**[07:34] ---**
    What will you do with them eventually?
**[07:36] ---**
    We’ll hunt down and collect
    every Tailed Beast.
**[07:39] ---**
    And then?
**[07:40] ---**
    They’ll act as our deterrents in our quest
    for world domination.
**[07:44] ---**
    Tailed Beasts?
**[07:46] ---**
    Seems to me there are
    lots of other ways…
**[07:50] ---**
    There’s no mistake in
    the leader’s reasoning.
**[07:54] ---**
    Here are the assignments.
**[07:56] ---**
    Juzo…
**[07:57] ---**
    You’ll handle the request
    from the Land of Water.
**[08:00] ---**
    Isn’t there another mission I can do?!
**[08:04] ---**
    You’re familiar with the territory.
**[08:14] ---**
    This is ridiculous.
**[08:16] ---**
    I never wanted to go back
    to that depressing place.
**[08:22] ---**
    Is that the village where you’re from?
**[08:24] ---**
    The job’s easy.
**[08:26] ---**
    We have to assassinate a member
**[08:28] ---**
    from the Feudal Lord's clan
    in the Land of Water.
**[08:31] ---**
    I'll explain...
**[08:33] ---**
    It’s an intra-clan fight
    over succession,
**[08:36] ---**
    a common occurrence in
    the Land of Water.
**[08:38] ---**
    The Hidden Mist cannot interfere
    in the Feudal Clan's affairs.
**[08:42] ---**
    That’s why they’ve come to the Akatsuki.
**[08:50] ---**
    This river’s the border.
**[08:52] ---**
    Have you ever been to
    the Land of Water?
**[08:55] ---**
    Never on a mission.
**[08:56] ---**
    So for an outing then?
**[09:00] ---**
    You’ve got no sense of humor!
**[09:03] ---**
    But you *do* know, don’t you?
**[09:05] ---**
    What happens to a shinobi
    from another village
**[09:08] ---**
    if he’s discovered in
    the Land of Water?
**[09:10] ---**
    The Hidden Mist doesn’t have
    a policy for prisoner exchange...
**[09:13] ---**
    If captured, the shinobi will be made
    to divulge his jutsu
**[09:16] ---**
    and he’ll be disposed of.
**[09:18] ---**
    You have it good, Itachi.
**[09:21] ---**
    The Leaf is naïve.
**[09:23] ---**
    That’s why you and Orochimaru can go
    around without a care as Rogue Ninja...
**[09:27] ---**
    There is a special unit in the Hidden Mist
    that track down Rogue Ninja.
**[09:32] ---**
    If I ever get caught in this village…
**[09:35] ---**
    Oh, I forgot all about Formation C.
**[09:39] ---**
    If I’m caught by the Mist,
    kill me immediately.
**[09:45] ---**
    If I have a chance.
**[09:47] ---**
    So what do you want me
    to do for Formation D?
**[09:52] ---**
    Nothing in particular.
**[09:55] ---**
    Fine, let’s get going!
**[10:08] ---**
    Are you good at infiltrating?
**[10:12] ---**
    I'm average.
**[10:13] ---**
    Okay, show me.
**[10:32] ---**
    P-Please! Spare me!
**[10:35] ---**
    I don’t bear a grudge against you.
**[10:38] ---**
    This is just my job.
**[10:41] ---**
    W-Wait!
**[10:47] ---**
    Hey…
**[10:48] ---**
    Yeah.
**[10:49] ---**
    Hidden Mist Jutsu…!
**[10:55] ---**
    Wind Style! Supreme Typhoon!
**[10:58] ---**
    This is—?!
**[11:06] ---**
    Lord Fourth!
**[11:09] ---**
    Is that the Mizukage?
**[11:11] ---**
    Do you remember my warning?
**[11:14] ---**
    Any way you look at him,
    he’s a kid.
**[11:16] ---**
    He’s the Jinchuriki of
    the Three Tails.
**[11:20] ---**
    And they are the Mist’s
    Shinobi Tracking Unit.
**[11:23] ---**
    I never expected you to reappear
    in the Village, Juzo.
**[11:29] ---**
    I didn’t wanna come back either.
    I had no choice.
**[11:32] ---**
    I have a ton of things to say to you…
**[11:35] ---**
    At the very least, I’m taking back
    the Executioner’s Blade.
**[11:39] ---**
    Even if your partner
    is Itachi of the Sharingan.
**[11:43] ---**
    So I guess a surprise attack with
    your genjutsu is meaningless.
**[11:48] ---**
    What do you want to do?
**[11:50] ---**
    This one’s a Formation C.
**[11:53] ---**
    Formation C? Understood.
**[12:02] ---**
    Don’t look!
**[12:07] ---**
    It's a Water Clone!
**[12:10] ---**
    Itachi!
**[12:11] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
**[12:17] ---**
    Lord Fourth!
**[12:27] ---**
    You two…
**[12:30] ---**
    I’ll show no mercy.
**[12:38] ---**
    Tailed Beast State?!
**[12:39] ---**
    The Fourth is a Jinchuriki
    who can control his Tailed Beast!
**[12:43] ---**
    This is *not* the Hidden Leaf!
**[13:01] ---**
    Juzo!
**[13:02] ---**
    It’s the Fourth’s Coral Palm Jutsu.
**[13:15] ---**
    Juzo?!
**[13:20] ---**
    Run… Itachi…
**[13:35] ---**
    W-What?!
**[13:38] ---**
    What is this?
**[13:43] ---**
    The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?
**[13:55] ---**
    Why you—!
**[14:08] ---**
    Juzo…?
**[14:17] ---**
    Did you kill…the Mizukage?
**[14:20] ---**
    No, he’s not dead yet.
**[14:23] ---**
    Then…
**[14:25] ---**
    Hurry! Go!
**[14:26] ---**
    But…
**[14:28] ---**
    It's all over for me…
**[14:30] ---**
    You don’t have to be
    a Medic Ninja to know that, right?
**[14:33] ---**
    I’m sorry.
**[14:35] ---**
    What a stupid thing to say.
**[14:37] ---**
    Do you have any last words
    for anyone?
**[14:42] ---**
    Like I'd have anyone, idiot.
**[14:48] ---**
    I see…But you have someone
    like that, huh?
**[14:53] ---**
    Hurry and go!
**[14:55] ---**
    I’m just gonna drop dead, right here,
    where I'm from…
**[14:59] ---**
    …this god-forsaken,
    Blood Mist Village…
**[15:03] ---**
    I thought my only partner…
**[15:05] ---**
    was this guy here, but…
**[15:49] ---**
    Juzo Biwa is dead.
**[15:52] ---**
    Oh my, and he was
    your teammate, Itachi.
**[15:56] ---**
    The Jinchuriki of
    the Three Tails killed him.
**[15:59] ---**
    Which means you took on
    the Mizukage and came out of it alive.
**[16:04] ---**
    Another one of us is dead.
**[16:07] ---**
    Rather than being killed by the enemy,
    he was killed by friendly fire.
**[16:13] ---**
    He was just too slow.
**[16:16] ---**
    Let everyone here be the judge of that.
**[16:26] ---**
    *Fire Style: Searing Migraine!*
**[16:32] ---**
    Done in bad faith.
**[16:33] ---**
    Sounds like it was on purpose.
**[16:35] ---**
    He should have just dodged it.
**[16:38] ---**
    You ignored your partner, didn't you?
**[16:42] ---**
    So what?
**[16:43] ---**
    You wanted to kill him, didn't you?
**[16:47] ---**
    So what?
**[16:48] ---**
    Oh, nothing. It just seems
    to happen a lot.
**[16:52] ---**
    The Akatsuki works in two-man teams.
**[16:55] ---**
    What will you do, Kakuzu?
**[16:57] ---**
    Will you team up with Itachi
    who’s also lost his partner?
**[17:00] ---**
    As long as he doesn’t irritate me.
**[17:04] ---**
    I wouldn’t know how to cater
    to your moods.
**[17:07] ---**
    What the hell did you say?
    Then let's team up and I'll show you.
**[17:11] ---**
    Wait, I’ll team up with Itachi.
**[17:14] ---**
    Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!
**[17:19] ---**
    The Akatsuki needs to
    find some new members.
**[17:22] ---**
    We’ll put this issue on hold until we do.
**[18:10] ---**
    Do you know what eternal life is, Itachi?
**[18:15] ---**
    I don’t know yet, either.
**[18:18] ---**
    That’s why I need a new body.
**[18:21] ---**
    A magnificent body to link me
    to eternal life.
**[18:25] ---**
    First of all, the problem with you…
    is your greed.
**[18:30] ---**
    Impossible! Have I fallen prey to
    the Paralysis Jutsu?
**[18:37] ---**
    What incredible Visual Prowess…
**[18:40] ---**
    Magnificent!
**[19:04] ---**
    Orochimaru…
**[19:05] ---**
    Try all of the jutsu you wish...
**[19:08] ---**
    But, my eyes can see through
    all of them.
**[19:11] ---**
    You're so blunt…
**[19:13] ---**
    I’m not sure what to do with you.
**[19:16] ---**
    Whether to kill you right now,
    or find a way to use you.
**[19:21] ---**
    I-Itachi!
**[19:23] ---**
    You just don’t have enough...
**[19:27] ---**
    No, you lack it completely...the greed…
**[19:34] ---**
    for human life!
**[19:38] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru!
**[19:40] ---**
    I’ll definitely get you back for this.
**[19:56] ---**
    Orochimaru betrayed and
    deserted our organization.
**[20:00] ---**
    I knew it, that bastard.
**[20:03] ---**
    He always put himself
    before the organization.
**[20:07] ---**
    I don’t intend to let Orochimaru
    get away with this,
**[20:10] ---**
    but right now,
    we’re short members.
**[20:12] ---**
    Hey! Hey! Hey!
**[20:13] ---**
    How about letting me join?
**[20:15] ---**
    Get lost!
**[20:17] ---**
    Okay…
**[20:19] ---**
    Leave Orochimaru to me.
**[20:22] ---**
    His subordinate, Kabuto, is my puppet.
**[20:28] ---**
    I’ll find out where
    he’s hiding out in no time.
**[20:31] ---**
    No need to rush.
**[20:33] ---**
    I have someone in mind
    to be your partner.
**[20:36] ---**
    It can wait until he joins us.
**[20:38] ---**
    What about me?
**[20:39] ---**
    Do I team up with Itachi?
**[20:41] ---**
    Work alone for a while longer.
**[20:43] ---**
    I have someone else I’ve prepared
    to partner up with Itachi.
**[21:10] ---**
    I’m going to be your partner
    from today.
**[22:49] ---**
    Hey, you over there!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I’m not gonna fall for
    your genjutsu ever again, hmm!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    I’m going to give you a little taste
    of what art is.
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Let's leave it at that.
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    Sasori…
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    partner with Deidara and
    go kill Orochimaru.
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Partner"
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    Who the hell is this Orochimaru guy?

    *Itachi's Story -*
    *Light and Darkness: Partner*
    
    
**[01:45] ---**
    Over there?
**[01:47] ---**
    Yeah.
**[01:49] ---**
    The "Akatsuki"?
**[01:51] ---**
    Don't know and don't care.
**[01:52] ---**
    Now get lost! You're keeping me
    from my "art appreciation" time.
**[01:56] ---**
    And I have to take this brat on
    as my partner?
**[02:01] ---**
    Sure, he's full of energy,
**[02:03] ---**
    but he seems like
    the type to die young.
**[02:06] ---**
    It's our leader's orders…
**[02:08] ---**
    His talent will be very useful.
**[02:11] ---**
    How do you know about my talent?
**[02:14] ---**
    Just who the hell are you anyway?
**[02:16] ---**
    We know you're aiding
    anti-government factions
**[02:19] ---**
    of neighboring nations with bombings…
**[02:23] ---**
    You're a Rogue Ninja,
    but what is your purpose?
**[02:27] ---**
    Purpose? I don't need a purpose!
**[02:30] ---**
    I take commissions to
    cause explosions…using my art.
**[02:36] ---**
    He's annoying…
**[02:39] ---**
    Is he done?
**[02:41] ---**
    Who knows…?
**[02:44] ---**
    It doesn't matter.
**[02:46] ---**
    I'll do it.
**[02:57] ---**
    Let me make it clear,
    I won't stop in my pursuit of art!
**[03:02] ---**
    Do as you please.
**[03:05] ---**
    But now that you're a part
    of the Akatsuki,
**[03:08] ---**
    I expect you to fulfill your missions.
**[03:18] ---**
    BLUE
    
**[03:20] ---**
    All right, all right, I got it.
**[03:21] ---**
    But…
**[03:23] ---**
    you over there!
**[03:25] ---**
    I'll never get caught up
    in your genjutsu again, hmm!
**[03:28] ---**
    Now that you're one of us,
**[03:29] ---**
    I doubt that I'll have to
    use my genjutsu on you.
**[03:33] ---**
    I don't mind giving you
    a taste of my art.
**[03:37] ---**
    Leave it at that.
**[03:40] ---**
    Sasori!
**[03:42] ---**
    Partner with Deidara
    and go kill Orochimaru.
**[03:45] ---**
    About time.
**[03:48] ---**
    Who is this Orochimaru?
**[03:50] ---**
    I'll tell you on the way.
**[03:52] ---**
    Orochimaru has escaped
    into the Land of Wind.
**[03:56] ---**
    Beyond that, I don't know.
**[03:59] ---**
    That's all I need to know.
**[04:01] ---**
    Let's go.
**[04:04] ---**
    You Akatsuki sure like
    to order guys around…
**[04:07] ---**
    Hey, hurry up.
**[04:09] ---**
    I know!
**[04:11] ---**
    Itachi and Kisame,
    go to the Hidden Grass Village.
**[04:17] ---**
    What about my partner?
**[04:19] ---**
    Wait just a while longer.
**[04:23] ---**
    I've ordered Kabuto to keep me
    updated through several ways.
**[04:30] ---**
    If they're headed to
    the Land of Wind, this is the spot…
**[04:49] ---**
    The Great Sand Dune of the East…
**[04:51] ---**
    I see…
**[04:52] ---**
    That's one place the guys
    from the Village won't go near.
**[04:56] ---**
    Is that where you're from, my man?
**[04:58] ---**
    I don't want to talk about it.
**[05:00] ---**
    Anyway, that location
    works out perfectly.
**[05:09] ---**
    That's his hideout.
**[05:12] ---**
    I'll blow the whole thing up
    with my art, hmm!
**[05:15] ---**
    We don't even know if
    he's there or not.
**[05:25] ---**
    Sand Snakes!
**[05:26] ---**
    It's useless…
**[05:29] ---**
    They know we're here.
**[05:31] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[05:33] ---**
    Let's go.
**[05:42] ---**
    I was expecting Itachi to
    be the one who'd come…
**[05:45] ---**
    So you're the ones the Akatsuki sent?
**[05:49] ---**
    We're going to kill you
    without hesitation, you traitor.
**[05:52] ---**
    Oh, do you really think you can?
**[05:55] ---**
    You're the boy from the Hidden Stone…
**[05:57] ---**
    You used to be in
    the Demolitions Unit, right?
**[05:59] ---**
    Don't treat me like a kid!
**[06:05] ---**
    Keep watch from above and
    make sure he doesn't get away.
**[06:09] ---**
    What gives, my man?
**[06:11] ---**
    Are you saying that you want
    to capture him yourself?
**[06:13] ---**
    Yeah, since you have
    no grudges against him, right?
**[06:20] ---**
    If you want back-up,
    just call on me at any time, hmm!
**[06:27] ---**
    THREE
    
    I have the geographical
    advantage here.
**[06:38] ---**
    So that's your work, my man?
**[06:40] ---**
    You're aware of
    the Third Kazekage's power, aren't you?
**[06:44] ---**
    Yes…
**[06:46] ---**
    My hobby is to collect things
    that I find interesting,
**[06:49] ---**
    so I took a little bit.
**[06:54] ---**
    THREE
    
**[07:03] ---**
    What the hell?
**[07:04] ---**
    Huh?
**[07:05] ---**
    What's that over there?
**[07:16] ---**
    Is that you, Sasori…?
**[07:17] ---**
    You bastard, how dare
    you do this to me!
**[07:20] ---**
    What's that, you damn snake?
**[07:22] ---**
    It‘s the Third Kazekage
    that you killed.
**[07:25] ---**
    I used a Forbidden Jutsu
    to resurrect him.
**[07:29] ---**
    Things won't go the way
    they did last time…
**[07:31] ---**
    Enough of your resentful complaints…
**[07:38] ---**
    Now then…
**[07:41] ---**
    With your Human Puppet…
**[07:43] ---**
    and my Forbidden Jutsu.
**[07:45] ---**
    Let's see which is superior!
**[07:48] ---**
    Damn you…
**[07:52] ---**
    Iron Sand: Scattered Showers!
**[08:12] ---**
    Unlike the real thing,
**[08:13] ---**
    the puppet stops working when
    Iron Sand gets into it, right?
**[08:16] ---**
    Don't lecture me about puppets!
**[08:36] ---**
    Unlike the real thing,
**[08:38] ---**
    I've built in lots of hidden tricks
    into the puppet.
**[08:40] ---**
    It's your turn…
**[08:44] ---**
    Not yet.
**[08:46] ---**
    What?!
**[08:47] ---**
    This is one form of immortality…
**[08:50] ---**
    It doesn't die, even though
    it's already dead.
**[08:53] ---**
    There's no way it can't die!
**[09:14] ---**
    Heargh!
**[09:20] ---**
    Well?! How do you like my art?!
**[09:33] ---**
    Why doesn't it die?
**[09:35] ---**
    After you two die, I'll resurrect you
    both in the same way.
**[09:42] ---**
    Although, what I really wanted…
**[09:46] ---**
    was Itachi's body.
**[09:55] ---**
    My man!
**[09:56] ---**
    Does that guy have a weakness?!
**[09:58] ---**
    Resurrection isn't one of
    the Third's abilities…
**[10:08] ---**
    You are both going to become
    my pawns forever.
**[10:16] ---**
    Stop kidding around…
**[10:20] ---**
    I…am the Third Kazekage…
**[10:26] ---**
    I am not...
**[10:28] ---**
    your pawn!
**[10:36] ---**
    Oh my…
**[10:38] ---**
    I wonder if my jutsu wasn't complete?
**[10:41] ---**
    Take this!
**[10:48] ---**
    Is he dead?!
**[10:54] ---**
    Don't run away!
**[11:01] ---**
    Heargh!
**[11:07] ---**
    Art is…!
**[11:10] ---**
    …an explosion!
**[11:13] ---**
    Hey, c'mon now…
**[11:21] ---**
    We thoroughly searched
    the mountain of rubble,
**[11:24] ---**
    but we didn't find his corpse.
**[11:26] ---**
    So we can't say for sure
    that we killed him.
**[11:29] ---**
    If he's alive,
    I swear I'll kill him myself.
**[11:33] ---**
    Besides, what was with
    that ridiculous jutsu?!
**[11:37] ---**
    Do you know anything about it?
**[11:39] ---**
    It's probably the Second Hokage's
    Reanimation Jutsu.
**[11:44] ---**
    You bring the dead back to life,
    and control them like a puppet.
**[11:47] ---**
    You can't kill it even if you tried.
**[11:49] ---**
    So you must use a Sealing Jutsu
**[11:52] ---**
    or suppress their movement forcefully.
**[11:55] ---**
    We just have to kill Orochimaru, right?
**[11:57] ---**
    Even that won't stop a reanimated being…
**[12:00] ---**
    What's the supposed to mean?
**[12:02] ---**
    Be wary of Orochimaru from now on.
**[12:05] ---**
    If he's alive,
    he's bound to make another move.
**[12:09] ---**
    Ordinarily, no one could
    survive that explosion, hmm.
**[12:13] ---**
    No one who joins us is ordinary.
**[12:17] ---**
    Another immortal has appeared
    out of the woodwork.
**[12:20] ---**
    We have a request from
    the Land of Steam.
**[12:22] ---**
    A homicidal maniac
    has appeared
**[12:24] ---**
    and they want us to eliminate him.
**[12:26] ---**
    Don't they have
    their own Hidden Steam shinobi?
**[12:29] ---**
    Apparently, they can't kill it.
**[12:31] ---**
    So this homicidal maniac
    is immortal too?
**[12:34] ---**
    Was he "reani-whatevered"
    by Orochimaru too?
**[12:38] ---**
    I'm dispatching
    a different team this time.
**[12:53] ---**
    You there…
**[12:58] ---**
    Would you like to join
    the Way of Jashin?
**[13:08] ---**
    This wasn't for money or revenge.
**[13:11] ---**
    This was out of
    a deep desire to kill.
**[13:13] ---**
    There are other ways
    to quench blood thirst…
**[13:17] ---**
    He had some other purpose.
**[13:20] ---**
    You really have
    a way of irritating me.
**[13:26] ---**
    And you… Did you come to
    make sure I don't kill Itachi?
**[13:31] ---**
    There are no other
    Sensory types besides me.
**[13:34] ---**
    And…
**[13:35] ---**
    The others certainly aren't
    cut out to be decoys.
**[13:40] ---**
    Decoys?
**[13:48] ---**
    All right then…
**[13:53] ---**
    Hey, you over there.
**[13:56] ---**
    Do you want to join
    the Way of Jashin?
**[13:58] ---**
    Way of Jashin?
**[14:00] ---**
    Yeah, the Way of Jashin…
**[14:03] ---**
    What is that?
**[14:04] ---**
    You can kill people and
    you won't be punished.
**[14:07] ---**
    In fact, it just pleases
    Lord Jashin even more.
**[14:12] ---**
    I see…
**[14:13] ---**
    What do you say?
    Isn't that a wonderful teaching?
**[14:16] ---**
    Are you interested in joining?
**[14:18] ---**
    So you're the homicidal maniac…
**[14:22] ---**
    Homicidal maniac?
    That's not it at all.
**[14:25] ---**
    I'm just offering up prayers
    to Lord Jashin.
**[14:29] ---**
    Looks like I'll just have to
    offer you up to Lord Jashin.
**[14:33] ---**
    Well?
**[14:34] ---**
    He doesn't seem to be
    a Reanimation.
**[14:37] ---**
    Fine. I'll test him to see
    how immortal he is.
**[14:40] ---**
    Who are you guys,
    dressed up all the same?
**[14:43] ---**
    You in an orchestra or
    band or something?
**[14:46] ---**
    Let's see… The gloomy one
    over there plays bass…
**[14:49] ---**
    The girl does vocals and keyboards…
**[14:52] ---**
    No, maybe that guy there
    does vocals?
**[14:55] ---**
    We're nothing like that.
**[14:58] ---**
    I think Lord Jashin would like
    you guys as an offering.
**[15:09] ---**
    What's wrong?
    Is running around all you can do?!
**[15:11] ---**
    Well, I won't let you get away!
**[15:26] ---**
    What? Done so soon?
**[15:32] ---**
    Ouch…
**[15:37] ---**
    That hurt!
**[15:41] ---**
    Oh…
**[15:42] ---**
    I'll punish you in the name of god!
**[15:57] ---**
    That's not gonna help you!
**[16:00] ---**
    Looks like the rumors about
    your immortality are true.
**[16:03] ---**
    Okay, let's start the ritual.
**[16:15] ---**
    Everything is ready!
**[16:18] ---**
    Die…!
**[16:27] ---**
    One stab into the heart…
**[16:33] ---**
    Damn you!
**[16:36] ---**
    It feels so good…
**[16:38] ---**
    Glory be to Lord Jashin!
**[16:52] ---**
    You bastard…You got some nerve…
**[16:55] ---**
    Hey, hey… Why didn't you die?
**[16:58] ---**
    I'll beat you to death!
**[16:59] ---**
    No, you can't!
**[17:01] ---**
    Did you notice anything?
**[17:02] ---**
    He licked Kakuzu's blood
**[17:05] ---**
    and then mentioned something
    about a ritual.
**[17:06] ---**
    That's probably some jutsu too.
**[17:08] ---**
    He passes on any damage he sustains
    to the one whose blood he licks.
**[17:13] ---**
    However, that doesn't
    explain his immortality.
**[17:16] ---**
    Can you separate them?
**[17:18] ---**
    Weren't you going to eliminate him?
**[17:20] ---**
    Yeah.
**[17:27] ---**
    W-What?!
**[17:33] ---**
    What's the big idea, Itachi?!
**[17:36] ---**
    Seems they're recruiting him.
**[17:39] ---**
    A guy like him?
**[17:43] ---**
    Are you kidding me? I refuse!
**[17:45] ---**
    Whatever the Akatsuki is…
**[17:47] ---**
    I have a mission to spread
    the Way of Jashin.
**[17:51] ---**
    Then you should join the Akatsuki
    for the sake of your mission too.
**[17:56] ---**
    What?
**[17:57] ---**
    Assassinations, war, you name it,
**[18:00] ---**
    the Akatsuki will do anything…
    since we're a band of killers.
**[18:11] ---**
    I plan to continue propagating
    the Way of Jashin.
**[18:16] ---**
    Do as you please.
**[18:20] ---**
    THREE
    
**[18:22] ---**
    Our two-man teams are in place.
**[18:24] ---**
    Go and execute your missions.
**[18:29] ---**
    I didn't expect to be
    partnered with you.
**[18:32] ---**
    You took the words out of my mouth.
**[18:34] ---**
    Don't irritate me,
    or I'll kill you.
**[18:37] ---**
    Like I said. Just try it!
**[18:40] ---**
    I don't want your heart.
**[18:58] ---**
    Art…
**[19:03] ---**
    …is an explosion!
**[19:07] ---**
    It's art!
**[19:09] ---**
    I still don't get what
    your art is about.
**[19:12] ---**
    Soon, you'll understand the aesthetics
    of something that's fleeting, hmm.
**[19:18] ---**
    Hm? It's the leader.
**[19:22] ---**
    A shinobi village named
    the Hidden Sound
**[19:24] ---**
    recently came into existence.
**[19:26] ---**
    It's possible that
    Orochimaru is involved.
**[19:32] ---**
    That guy!
**[19:33] ---**
    I want you two to
    covertly check them out.
**[19:36] ---**
    Since you guys specialize in sneaking
    around behind the scenes.
**[19:41] ---**
    I'll find him!
**[19:43] ---**
    And make him go boom!
**[19:45] ---**
    The orders were to do it covertly.
**[20:05] ---**
    *There's been an incident*
    *at the Hidden Leaf Village.*
**[20:08] ---**
    *Orochimaru's behind it.*
**[20:12] ---**
    *Orochimaru used shinobi from*
    *the Hidden Sound and Hidden Sand*
**[20:15] ---**
    *to wage war against the Leaf…*
**[20:18] ---**
    *But he failed to completely*
    *destroy the Leaf.*
**[20:21] ---**
    Serves him right!
**[20:22] ---**
    *The Third Hokage*
    *was killed in battle.*
**[20:26] ---**
    *Orochimaru withdrew,*
    *but his whereabouts are unknown.*
**[20:29] ---**
    *I'll send someone out*
    *to investigate, but…*
**[20:31] ---**
    I'll go.
**[20:33] ---**
    *Then I'll leave this to you,*
**[20:35] ---**
    *as well as the status*
    *of the Leaf's Jinchuriki.*
**[20:40] ---**
    It seems they
    averted total destruction,
**[20:43] ---**
    but they've sustained
    massive damage.
**[20:46] ---**
    That Village was at
    the height of prosperity…
**[20:49] ---**
    How tragic.
**[20:51] ---**
    That was out of character.
**[20:53] ---**
    So even you have feelings
    for your birthplace, after all?
**[20:57] ---**
    No…
**[21:03] ---**
    Not at all.
**[21:08] ---**
    *Sasuke… Are you safe?*
**[22:47] ---**
    It's been a while Sasuke.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha…I'm going to kill you!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Ah, the Sharingan.
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Nevertheless, he's a lot like you.
    Who is he?
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    He's my younger brother.
    
    
**[23:07] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Truth"
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    Has your Sharingan awakened?

    *Itachi's Story –*
    *Light and Darkness: Truth*
    
    
    
**[01:45] ---**
    DUMPLINGS
    
**[01:49] ---**
    Kakashi.
**[01:50] ---**
    It's unusual that
    you're here first.
**[01:54] ---**
    Well, it happens once in a while.
**[01:56] ---**
    What's going on?
    Why did you summon us here?
**[02:01] ---**
    *Sasuke!*
**[02:03] ---**
    *You've grown up…*
**[02:15] ---**
    It's been a long time, Sasuke.
**[02:18] ---**
    Itachi Uchiha!
**[02:21] ---**
    I will…
**[02:24] ---**
    …kill you!
**[02:25] ---**
    Ah…the Sharingan.
**[02:28] ---**
    I see a resemblance…
    Just who is he?
**[02:34] ---**
    He's my younger brother.
**[02:39] ---**
    *So you've awakened your Sharingan.*
**[02:41] ---**
    *Otherwise…*
**[02:44] ---**
    It's just as you've said.
**[02:46] ---**
    I've hated you, and resented you.
**[02:49] ---**
    I have lived my life…
**[02:53] ---**
    *How strong have you gotten?*
**[02:56] ---**
    …for the sole purpose
    of killing you…
**[03:00] ---**
    *Chidori?!*
**[03:10] ---**
    *I see…it was Kakashi, huh?*
**[03:17] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[03:18] ---**
    Damn it!
**[03:22] ---**
    Ninja Art: Summoning—!
**[03:24] ---**
    Too slow!
**[03:34] ---**
    Master Jiraiya!
**[03:35] ---**
    So your target is Naruto,
    after all?
**[03:38] ---**
    Taking Naruto is the overriding
    mission we have been assigned to,
**[03:42] ---**
    by the Akatsuki.
**[03:45] ---**
    I can't let you have Naruto.
**[03:49] ---**
    I wonder about that…
**[03:52] ---**
    Perfect timing. I will get rid of
    both of you right here.
**[03:57] ---**
    Don't interfere…
**[04:00] ---**
    If anyone is going to kill him…
    It will be me.
**[04:08] ---**
    I have no interest
    in you right now.
**[04:11] ---**
    *Not yet, Sasuke.*
**[04:18] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[04:19] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:21] ---**
    Naruto!
**[04:22] ---**
    I said not to interfere!
**[04:26] ---**
    This is my fight!
**[04:31] ---**
    *That's right.*
**[04:33] ---**
    Fine by me!
**[04:40] ---**
    *You still don't have enough…*
**[04:48] ---**
    *Forgive me, Sasuke.*
**[04:51] ---**
    *Forgive me!*
**[04:53] ---**
    You are merciless.
**[05:06] ---**
    *Hate me…*
**[05:11] ---**
    *You are weak.*
**[05:14] ---**
    *From now, for 24 hours…*
    *Relive that day.*
**[05:22] ---**
    Using Tsukuyomi on
    your younger brother?
**[05:25] ---**
    That's enough…outta…you!
**[05:40] ---**
    You are weak, because
    you don't have enough hatred.
**[05:47] ---**
    C'mon, Kisame!
**[05:49] ---**
    Wait! Why you—!
**[05:54] ---**
    Why did we have to retreat?
**[05:57] ---**
    You could have—!
**[05:59] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[06:00] ---**
    *Even though Lord Third is dead,*
**[06:03] ---**
    *you still have people*
    *who will protect you…*
**[06:06] ---**
    *I'll be waiting, Sasuke.*
**[06:15] ---**
    Why are you so obsessed
    with my brother?
**[06:18] ---**
    He's just a Rogue Ninja.
**[06:20] ---**
    That's because, unlike you…
**[06:22] ---**
    He's more of a brother to me
    than you are to him…
**[06:30] ---**
    You've been trying to take Sasuke
    back to the village.
**[06:34] ---**
    But what if it doesn't
    go the way you want it to?
**[06:38] ---**
    I'll do anything to bring him back!
**[06:41] ---**
    You just said you consider
    Sasuke to be like a brother…
**[06:45] ---**
    What if Sasuke were to attack
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
**[06:49] ---**
    What would you do then?
**[06:51] ---**
    What? Why would Sasuke—?
**[06:54] ---**
    There's no way
    he'd do something like that!
**[06:57] ---**
    Sasuke is still a blank canvas.
**[06:59] ---**
    He can easily be dyed
    into any color.
**[07:02] ---**
    In that case,
    would you be able to stop him?
**[07:08] ---**
    Even if you have to kill Sasuke?
**[07:12] ---**
    Could you weigh Sasuke against
    the Hidden Leaf on a set of scales?
**[07:17] ---**
    I would defend the Leaf Village!
**[07:18] ---**
    And I would find a way to stop
    Sasuke without killing him!
**[07:22] ---**
    You're such a child…
**[07:23] ---**
    What you speak of
    are all fantasies.
**[07:26] ---**
    A shinobi must be capable of
    making very harsh decisions.
**[07:31] ---**
    Someone else tried to tell me
    the same thing before.
**[07:35] ---**
    But for me, there is no choice.
**[07:37] ---**
    I never go back on my word…
**[07:40] ---**
    That's my Ninja Way.
**[07:43] ---**
    *I see.*
**[07:47] ---**
    You've come…
**[07:51] ---**
    That Sharingan…
    How much can you actually see?
**[07:55] ---**
    What I'm seeing right now…
**[07:58] ---**
    Is your death, Itachi.
**[08:02] ---**
    My death, huh?
**[08:08] ---**
    Well then…
**[08:13] ---**
    …make it happen.
**[08:51] ---**
    Forgive me, Sasuke…
**[08:54] ---**
    This is the end.
**[09:19] ---**
    You don't ever have to forgive me.
**[09:30] ---**
    I will love you always.
**[09:50] ---**
    I…
**[09:57] ---**
    *I've made up my mind, Big Brother…*
**[10:25] ---**
    All that's left…is them.
**[10:34] ---**
    So it really didn't
    let the light through…
**[10:39] ---**
    Finally…
**[10:42] ---**
    Looks like it didn't affect
    that black one.
**[10:45] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[10:46] ---**
    What do we do to release everyone
    from the genjutsu?!
**[10:49] ---**
    Rinnegan genjutsu can be dealt with
    using Rinnegan, probably.
**[10:55] ---**
    Which means we need
    Sasuke's left eye.
**[10:57] ---**
    I won't let that happen.
**[11:00] ---**
    All that's left to do is to
    get rid of you guys…
**[11:05] ---**
    Which I, the savior
    of the world will do.
**[11:09] ---**
    Madara!
**[11:20] ---**
    That eye on his forehead!
**[11:25] ---**
    Be careful.
**[11:26] ---**
    We're surrounded in all directions
    by four of his Shadows.
**[11:30] ---**
    I know that!
**[11:31] ---**
    I won't allow you to
    do anything further.
**[11:34] ---**
    I just severed the Karmic Cycle
    of this world.
**[11:38] ---**
    I have freed humankind
**[11:39] ---**
    from their suffering,
    pain and their futility.
**[11:45] ---**
    But all this…is just a lie!
**[11:48] ---**
    Naruto, you're the one
    who's interfering
**[11:51] ---**
    with everyone's happiness.
**[11:54] ---**
    Just look at this world now.
**[11:56] ---**
    All fighting between shinobi
    has ceased.
**[11:58] ---**
    I've transformed hell into heaven.
**[12:01] ---**
    I've finally corrected
    Hashirama's mistake.
**[12:04] ---**
    What do you mean by
    the First Hokage's "mistake"?
**[12:07] ---**
    You Hidden Leaf may not
    want to acknowledge it,
**[12:11] ---**
    but Hashirama ultimately failed
    in reforming the Shinobi World.
**[12:17] ---**
    In the beginning, both Hashirama
    and I had the same goals.
**[12:21] ---**
    And we worked together.
**[12:25] ---**
    We tried to change
    the shinobi world
**[12:28] ---**
    that sent out barely grown
    children out to war.
**[12:37] ---**
    The two of us created
    the shinobi village.
**[12:40] ---**
    However, that does not result
    in true peace.
**[12:44] ---**
    People cannot show
    each other their true feelings.
**[12:48] ---**
    Fear, suspicion, and resentment…
**[12:51] ---**
    …never subside.
**[12:53] ---**
    FIRE
    LIGHTNING WIND
    EARTH WATER
    
    
**[12:54] ---**
    FIRE
    LIGHTNING WIND
    EARTH WATER
    
    My opinions were pushed aside
**[12:56] ---**
    FIRE
    LIGHTNING WIND
    EARTH WATER
    
    and the Shinobi World moved forward
**[12:58] ---**
    and the Shinobi World moved forward
**[12:59] ---**
    in accordance with
    Hashirama's vision.
**[13:02] ---**
    And what happened because of it?
**[13:04] ---**
    The fighting between shinobi
    hasn't stopped.
**[13:07] ---**
    Rather than ceasing,
**[13:08] ---**
    establishing ninja villages led to
**[13:10] ---**
    an increase in
    their military build-up,
**[13:11] ---**
    which resulted in battles
    that turned into great wars…
**[13:14] ---**
    with countless lives lost.
**[13:18] ---**
    The battling in what became
    the First Great Ninja War…
**[13:22] ---**
    The Second Great Ninja War…
**[13:27] ---**
    The Third Great Ninja War…
**[13:30] ---**
    The fighting never stopped.
**[13:32] ---**
    That is Hashirama's legacy
    to the Shinobi World.
**[13:37] ---**
    Although I admit that I triggered
    this Fourth Great Ninja War…
**[13:43] ---**
    That's right! Because of you,
    so many people died!
**[13:46] ---**
    I did make a proposition
**[13:48] ---**
    to peacefully hand over
    the Tailed Beasts.
**[13:51] ---**
    Right now, everyone is
    inside the Divine Tree.
**[13:53] ---**
    Each one of them,
    dreaming their own idyllic dreams.
**[13:56] ---**
    They are in their own ideal worlds.
**[14:00] ---**
    Is this your idea of
    a perfect world?
**[14:03] ---**
    You're just deceiving people.
**[14:06] ---**
    I just want to be the savior
**[14:09] ---**
    that ends the long history of
    fighting amongst shinobi.
**[14:15] ---**
    Just know this…
**[14:17] ---**
    It's all over.
**[14:26] ---**
    You're wrong, Madara.
**[14:29] ---**
    You are not the savior…
**[14:31] ---**
    Nor is this the end of things…
**[14:37] ---**
    *I can't…move…*
**[14:41] ---**
    What's going on?
**[14:43] ---**
    How can you say that you,
    unlike Obito,
**[14:46] ---**
    are able to completely
    take advantage of others?
**[14:50] ---**
    Isn't that presumptuous to think
    that you alone are different?
**[14:56] ---**
    My dear Madara…
**[14:58] ---**
    You have also been inside
    a phantom dream…
**[15:03] ---**
    Inside a dream that I concocted.
**[15:07] ---**
    Black Zetsu…
**[15:09] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[15:12] ---**
    I created you.
**[15:15] ---**
    You are my will incarnate!
**[15:19] ---**
    Wrong again…
**[15:21] ---**
    My will is…
**[15:23] ---**
    Kaguya's!
**[15:26] ---**
    What the hell is going on?
**[15:28] ---**
    They're having a falling out,
    at this stage in the game?
**[15:30] ---**
    No, that's not it.
**[15:32] ---**
    He just mentioned Kaguya.
**[15:34] ---**
    Huh? Kaguya?
**[15:36] ---**
    What is that?
**[15:37] ---**
    The one the Sage of
    the Six Paths mentioned.
**[15:40] ---**
    *The current Madara is*
    *a prime example of that…*
**[15:43] ---**
    *He's become just like*
    *my mother, Kaguya.*
**[15:46] ---**
    *He's obtained Ten Tails' power*
    *and is getting close to me…*
**[15:49] ---**
    *and is trying to attain even*
    *my mother Kaguya's power.*
**[15:54] ---**
    *In time, my mother's power*
    *eventually gave rise to hubris…*
**[15:56] ---**
    *And the populace came to fear*
    *the existence of that power.*
**[16:02] ---**
    No way…
**[16:08] ---**
    What is it?!
**[16:14] ---**
    Is their chakra being absorbed?
**[16:28] ---**
    What's up with this guy?
**[16:30] ---**
    This chakra is ridiculous!
**[16:32] ---**
    All of Madara's shadows that were
    surrounding us have disappeared!
**[16:35] ---**
    Something's about to happen!
**[16:43] ---**
    It's chakra!
**[16:55] ---**
    Is he absorbing all the chakra
    that's erupting from the ground?
**[17:00] ---**
    Where is all this thick potent
    chakra coming from?
**[17:04] ---**
    It's probably from everyone trapped
    in the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[17:11] ---**
    This is really bad, Sasuke!
**[17:13] ---**
    This chakra is much stronger
    than Ten Tails'!
**[17:16] ---**
    Stop them before they move!
**[17:22] ---**
    Go, Naruto!
**[17:24] ---**
    You mean while they're
    still swelling up, right?
**[17:38] ---**
    Like two moths flying
    into the flame…
**[17:42] ---**
    I'm going to absorb all the chakra
    out of the two of you right now.
**[17:46] ---**
    Damn it!
**[17:49] ---**
    Don't, Sakura!
**[17:50] ---**
    But!
**[17:52] ---**
    Action without a plan
    is meaningless.
**[17:55] ---**
    Damn it!
**[17:56] ---**
    *I can't move!*
**[17:58] ---**
    Sasuke! If we don't stop him now…
**[18:01] ---**
    He'll drain everyone else's chakra
    before ours and they'll all die!
**[18:07] ---**
    Don't worry,
    no one is going to die.
**[18:11] ---**
    Even when Kaguya previously cast
**[18:13] ---**
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    upon the populace,
**[18:17] ---**
    she kept them alive and preserved…
**[18:21] ---**
    …in order to form them
    into her soldiers.
**[18:25] ---**
    "Form"? What do you mean?!
**[18:28] ---**
    You seem to be denser than Itachi.
**[18:31] ---**
    How can one use
    ordinary people in combat?
**[18:37] ---**
    You're not saying that—!
**[18:39] ---**
    She converted them
    into White Zetsu.
**[18:42] ---**
    What's left of those who were under
    the previous Infinite Tsukuyomi…
**[18:48] ---**
    That's what White Zetsu are.
**[18:50] ---**
    They've been transformed
    ever so slowly over time.
**[18:55] ---**
    Are you saying everyone's gonna
    turn into those white things?!
**[18:59] ---**
    What are you saying, Black Zetsu?
**[19:02] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi
    is an Uchiha Jutsu!
**[19:05] ---**
    One that brings eternal peace
    to the shinobi world.
**[19:10] ---**
    And what do you base that on?
**[19:13] ---**
    The Sage of the Six Paths…
    carved that into the stone tablet.
**[19:27] ---**
    My dear Madara…
**[19:29] ---**
    I have been around
    for eons longer than you.
**[19:34] ---**
    Since finding the stone tablet
    left by Hagoromo,
**[19:37] ---**
    I've had quite some time
    to make revisions.
**[19:41] ---**
    Did you say "revisions"?
**[19:43] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi
    is not a jutsu
**[19:46] ---**
    that confers peaceful dreams.
**[19:48] ---**
    It is a jutsu to amass
    enormous amounts of chakra
**[19:51] ---**
    from individuals enslaved in it.
**[19:54] ---**
    For what purpose?
**[19:56] ---**
    You acted merely for that purpose.
**[20:00] ---**
    According to my…
    rather, Kaguya's will.
**[20:04] ---**
    I wouldn't!
    For that?!
**[20:07] ---**
    Just as you used Obito as a pawn…
**[20:11] ---**
    You too, were merely a pawn.
**[20:20] ---**
    Hey!
    Look at how big he swelled up!
**[20:23] ---**
    He's bloated because
**[20:24] ---**
    his body can't tolerate
    the amount of chakra he absorbed!
**[20:26] ---**
    At this rate,
    he's going to explode!
**[20:28] ---**
    *Why?*
**[20:30] ---**
    *Why did this happen—?*
**[20:33] ---**
    *Hashirama…*
    *Where…did I go wrong?*
**[20:42] ---**
    He's shrinking?!
**[20:48] ---**
    Obito!
**[21:03] ---**
    Isn't she the one
    Super Gramps talked about?
**[21:07] ---**
    Otsutsuki…
**[21:09] ---**
    Kaguya!
**[22:49] ---**
    Who is she?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    And why did Madara
    suddenly become her?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    This chakra is far greater
    then Madara's!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    I can't believe such
    a person ever existed!
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Hagoromo knew she would appear,
    that's why he gave us…
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    Sakura, do not make
    any inadvertent moves right now.
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    She of the Beginning
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    What are your intentions?!
    
    
    
**[23:12] ---**
    SHE OF THE BEGINNING

    Tune in again!

**[01:09] ---**
    Many countless nights passed…
**[01:11] ---**
    FIRE
    
    
    Many countless nights passed…
**[01:13] ---**
    WIND
    
    Chakra had been dispersed
    to those who were unworthy.
**[01:18] ---**
    EARTH
    
    The seal that caused
    such deep humiliation…
**[01:19] ---**
    LIGHTNING
    
    The seal that caused
    such deep humiliation…
**[01:22] ---**
    WATER
    
    
    …has now been shattered.
**[01:23] ---**
    May the infinite moonlight guide you…
**[01:27] ---**
    Use my body…
**[01:29] ---**
    and become one again!
**[01:32] ---**
    Awaken, god almighty!
**[01:37] ---**
    Progenitor of chakra!
**[01:46] ---**
    Thus concludes the tale of revival…
**[01:55] ---**
    It's chakra!
**[02:05] ---**
    This is really bad, Sasuke!
**[02:08] ---**
    This chakra is much stronger
    than Ten Tails'!
**[02:10] ---**
    Stop them before they move!
**[02:23] ---**
    Like two moths flying into the flame…
**[02:26] ---**
    I'm going to absorb
**[02:28] ---**
    all the chakra out of the two
    of you right now.
**[02:31] ---**
    Damn it!
**[03:00] ---**
    Isn't she…
**[03:02] ---**
    Isn't she the one Super Gramps
    talked about?
**[03:05] ---**
    Kaguya…Otsutsuki?!
**[04:40] ---**
    *She of the Beginning*
    
    
    
**[05:24] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[05:32] ---**
    Sasuke! Naruto!
**[05:45] ---**
    *The way they are currently,*
    *those two can manage…*
**[05:48] ---**
    *But Sakura…*
**[05:50] ---**
    *Don't make any careless*
    *moves right now!*
**[05:56] ---**
    These two…
**[05:58] ---**
    are Hagoromo and Hamura's…
**[06:01] ---**
    No, rather they're…
**[06:03] ---**
    Indra and Ashura's…
**[06:23] ---**
    So it was Hagoromo
    who gave them the jutsu…
**[06:28] ---**
    *Sasuke! Naruto!*
**[06:31] ---**
    *Thank goodness!*
**[06:34] ---**
    *Who is she?*
**[06:36] ---**
    *And why did Madara*
    *suddenly become her?*
**[06:40] ---**
    *This chakra is far greater*
    *than Madara's…*
**[06:43] ---**
    *I can't believe such*
    *a person ever existed.*
**[06:52] ---**
    *Hagoromo knew she would appear,*
**[06:55] ---**
    *that's why he entrusted us with—*
**[07:05] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[07:20] ---**
    What are your intentions?
**[07:24] ---**
    Ninshu…
**[07:25] ---**
    No, you said shinobi…
**[07:28] ---**
    It's futile to speak to you about that,
**[07:30] ---**
    when all you do is just tamper
    with chakra,
**[07:33] ---**
    without knowing its true meaning.
**[07:35] ---**
    This place, this land…
**[07:38] ---**
    is my precious nursery.
**[07:41] ---**
    I cannot let it be damaged further.
**[07:45] ---**
    Let us stop fighting…
**[07:50] ---**
    Then…
**[07:52] ---**
    *Here* that is…
**[07:56] ---**
    I shall erase…
**[07:57] ---**
    You all *here*…
**[08:04] ---**
    No way!
**[08:06] ---**
    *Is that lava below?*
**[08:07] ---**
    *Is this a genjutsu?*
**[08:09] ---**
    *No…*
**[08:10] ---**
    *This feels…*
**[08:12] ---**
    *different!*
**[08:14] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:17] ---**
    Sasuke! Over there!
**[08:29] ---**
    What're you doing?
    Help *them*, not me!
**[08:36] ---**
    How did you…?
**[08:44] ---**
    Kakashi tied one end of a scroll onto
    a kunai and used it like a rope.
**[08:50] ---**
    For Obito, he just pinned him
    to the wall with a kunai, however…
**[08:55] ---**
    Way to go, Kakashi Sensei!
**[08:58] ---**
    *Obito…*
**[08:59] ---**
    *Sorry for being rough with you…*
**[09:03] ---**
    Oh!
**[09:12] ---**
    It wasn't a genjutsu, after all…
**[09:15] ---**
    *Don't tell me…*
**[09:16] ---**
    *She summoned a different dimension?*
**[09:27] ---**
    Eyes forward, Naruto.
**[09:33] ---**
    Naruto…
**[09:34] ---**
    I'm going to be frank with you…
**[09:37] ---**
    This world will come to an end
    if either one of us dies.
**[09:43] ---**
    Only your Six Paths Power
    of the Light Style
**[09:45] ---**
    and my Six Paths Power
    of the Shadow Style,
**[09:48] ---**
    can seal away that being
    in front of us.
**[09:52] ---**
    If we don't succeed,
**[09:54] ---**
    mankind will perish.
**[09:57] ---**
    We can't afford to die,
    no matter what…
**[10:01] ---**
    When the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    was launched…
**[10:03] ---**
    Kakashi and Sakura just happened
    to be near you…
**[10:06] ---**
    That's just how it is.
**[10:09] ---**
    You understand
    what that means, right?
**[10:22] ---**
    I know.
**[10:26] ---**
    I get what you're saying
    and I know that you're right.
**[10:29] ---**
    But…this is also a situation when
    your body just moves on its own…
**[10:35] ---**
    Like that time on the bridge.
**[10:39] ---**
    *Sasuke, you…!*
**[10:48] ---**
    *Why did you protect me?*
**[10:54] ---**
    *What's with that look? Loser…*
**[11:00] ---**
    *Why did you—?!*
**[11:02] ---**
    *For me—?*
**[11:05] ---**
    *You should have just minded*
    *your own business!*
**[11:07] ---**
    *How should I know?*
**[11:17] ---**
    *My body just moved on its own…*
**[11:31] ---**
    Well, never mind.
**[11:33] ---**
    I know that you get
    what I mean, Sasuke.
**[11:44] ---**
    *Sasuke's right.*
**[11:48] ---**
    *Back then…*
**[11:49] ---**
    *Maybe Sasuke acted subconsciously…*
**[11:57] ---**
    *Even so…*
**[12:00] ---**
    *Thank you…Naruto.*
**[12:10] ---**
    Damn it!
**[12:13] ---**
    Damn it!
**[12:22] ---**
    Now's our chance!
**[12:28] ---**
    *Byakugan!*
**[12:29] ---**
    *Damn it! My hawk's Chakra Points*
    *have been hit!*
**[12:39] ---**
    *This calls for Susano'o!*
**[13:15] ---**
    Madara's rods are…
**[13:19] ---**
    I can finally move…
**[13:21] ---**
    Now if…
**[13:23] ---**
    If I head to the spot where
    I sensed that massive chakra…
**[13:26] ---**
    I might learn something.
**[13:33] ---**
    *But…the chakra*
    *suddenly dissipated.*
**[13:37] ---**
    FOURTH HOKAGE
    
**[13:44] ---**
    They've disappeared…
    Did they defeat Madara?
**[13:49] ---**
    *I've got to get to Naruto…*
**[13:51] ---**
    *just one more time…*
**[13:57] ---**
    Naruto, you—?!
**[14:00] ---**
    Huh?
**[14:02] ---**
    You can levitate?
**[14:08] ---**
    *That's right…*
**[14:10] ---**
    *Madara, when he was enhanced*
    *by Six Paths' chakra, also levitated…*
**[14:20] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[14:32] ---**
    Take care of Sakura and Kakashi Sensei.
**[14:39] ---**
    Six Paths' Chakra…
**[14:42] ---**
    You act triumphantly just because
    you have a special accoutrement.
**[14:45] ---**
    However…
**[14:47] ---**
    No matter what kind of chakra…
**[14:50] ---**
    All chakra belongs to me
    and me alone.
**[15:01] ---**
    Once more…
**[15:04] ---**
    …I shall reunify all chakra!
**[15:45] ---**
    *Sasuke! Now!*
**[16:44] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[16:45] ---**
    *Damn it! I can't stop!*
**[17:00] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[17:02] ---**
    Even Susano'o doesn't work.
**[17:13] ---**
    Let's get Obito while
    we still have the chance.
**[17:17] ---**
    I forgot that you could use
    Teleportation-like jutsu now.
**[17:24] ---**
    You had me worried there!
**[17:27] ---**
    It's like this foothold.
**[17:29] ---**
    We've both benefitted
    from Six Paths' power.
**[17:33] ---**
    But having received it is meaningless
    unless we seal her away.
**[17:37] ---**
    Yeah!
**[18:25] ---**
    *My children, with whom*
    *I shared my chakra…*
**[18:37] ---**
    *I can't move…*
**[18:40] ---**
    *Now…come to your mother…*
**[18:47] ---**
    She's taking…our chakra, Sasuke!
**[18:52] ---**
    Kaguya seems to see
    her two children…
**[18:56] ---**
    when she looks at the two of you.
**[18:59] ---**
    Isn't that sweet?
**[19:03] ---**
    She, who was sealed away
    by her own children.
**[19:06] ---**
    Such a poor, pitiable mother…
**[19:10] ---**
    Why'd Six Paths Super Gramps
    seal away his own mom?
**[19:14] ---**
    I thought he sealed away Ten Tails…
**[19:17] ---**
    It appears you have the wrong idea…
**[19:22] ---**
    Just who and what are you,
    Black Zetsu?
**[19:26] ---**
    I am Kaguya's child.
**[19:30] ---**
    What?!
**[19:32] ---**
    *His aura seems different,*
    *all of a sudden…*
**[19:36] ---**
    I recorded everything that happened
    while Mother was gone.
**[19:40] ---**
    And molded it as well.
**[19:43] ---**
    The tale of shinobi…
**[19:45] ---**
    is the tale of restoring Mother.
**[19:49] ---**
    Huh?! What're you talking about?!
**[19:51] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[19:54] ---**
    Since you know Mother's name,
    you must have met Hagoromo.
**[20:00] ---**
    I knew that it was possible, depending on
    the power of the reincarnates.
**[20:05] ---**
    As well as receiving the power
    to seal away Mother…
**[20:11] ---**
    But we're gonna seal away
    the Ten Tails!
**[20:14] ---**
    It's rare to see the reincarnates
    of Indra and Ashura
**[20:17] ---**
    cooperating this closely.
**[20:20] ---**
    You two know nothing.
**[20:22] ---**
    Let me tell you her tale while
    I suck out all of your chakra.
**[20:28] ---**
    Like I told you earlier…
**[20:30] ---**
    Mother was sealed away previously
    by her own children.
**[20:35] ---**
    Apparently, it was an extremely
    powerful seal…
**[20:41] ---**
    The jutsu transformed Ten Tails into
**[20:43] ---**
    a Catastrophic Planetary
    Devastation core…
**[20:47] ---**
    …and turned it into the moon.
**[20:51] ---**
    But just before the seal took hold,
    she gave birth to me.
**[20:55] ---**
    In order that she could
    one day be restored.
**[21:00] ---**
    I shall now show you two
    all of that…
**[21:03] ---**
    I don't have any candy,
    but the puppet show is about to begin.
**[22:49] ---**
    Are you saying that she came
    from the heavens?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Yes, this woman appeared in the spot
    where the light had fallen…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    What is your name?
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Answer him!
    The man standing before you
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    is the King of the Land of Sou,
    Lord Tenji!
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    My name is…
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

    *Kaguya Otsutsuki*
    
    
**[02:56] ---**
    Look at that!
**[02:57] ---**
    It's glowing!
    It looks suspicious!
**[03:00] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:01] ---**
    Is it a star?
**[03:02] ---**
    That's no star, it's moving!
**[03:07] ---**
    How terrifying!
**[03:09] ---**
    Follow it!
**[03:10] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[03:24] ---**
    A woman?
**[03:26] ---**
    And you're saying that
    she came from the heavens?
**[03:29] ---**
    Yes…
**[03:30] ---**
    This woman appeared in the spot

**[03:41] ---**
    Be careful!
**[03:59] ---**
    Hmm…
    What is your name?
**[04:05] ---**
    Answer him!

**[04:16] ---**

**[04:17] ---**
    The Land of Ka must have
    sent this woman to spy on us!
**[04:21] ---**
    Interrogate her and
    make her confess!
**[04:23] ---**
    - Yes, sir!
    - Yes, sir!
**[04:25] ---**
    Wait.
**[04:32] ---**
    You—!
**[04:32] ---**
    What did you do?!
**[04:43] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[04:47] ---**
    My name is Kaguya.
**[04:52] ---**
    Kagu…ya?
**[04:55] ---**
    I am the one who protects

**[05:02] ---**
    I have been assigned to

    Several millennia ago,
    that tree appeared out of nowhere
**[05:26] ---**
    and grew into a massive tree
    before our very eyes.
**[05:29] ---**
    But I have heard
    frightening rumors too.
**[05:31] ---**
    Anyone who approaches it is quickly
    consumed by a demon spirit
**[05:35] ---**
    and dies like a withered branch.
**[05:39] ---**
    Forgive me for speaking
    of such things!
**[05:42] ---**
    Do not worry.
    For it is true…
**[05:46] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:47] ---**
    And some day…
**[05:50] ---**
    Lord Tenji!
**[05:52] ---**
    Ministers Suzaku and Genbu from
    the Land of Ka are here to see you.
**[05:56] ---**
    This is the border between
    the Land of Ka and the Land of Sou.
**[06:00] ---**
    The issue is this lake.
**[06:02] ---**
    Presently, this region is said to be
    part of the Land of Sou…
**[06:06] ---**
    But an ancient manuscript
    was recently discovered.
**[06:08] ---**
    On it, has been recorded
    from time immemorial,
**[06:10] ---**
    that this land was originally within
    the Land of Ka's territory.
**[06:13] ---**
    We wish to have this land
    returned to us.
**[06:15] ---**
    But that lake is our source of water
    for our farmlands in the Land of Sou.
**[06:19] ---**
    If I were to return that land…
**[06:21] ---**
    No matter what situation arises,
**[06:23] ---**
    to return what was stolen
    to its true owner…
**[06:27] ---**
    is the right thing to do.
**[06:29] ---**
    If we do not receive
    a favorable answer,
**[06:32] ---**
    we cannot be responsible
    for whatever misfortune
**[06:34] ---**
    befalls the Land of Sou!
**[06:38] ---**
    Now, now…
**[06:40] ---**
    I'm sure you will need some time
    to prepare and take care of things.
**[06:44] ---**
    We shall return in a few days
    to hear your answer.
**[06:49] ---**
    By the way,
**[06:51] ---**
    I understand you have taken
    a celestial maiden as a concubine.
**[06:54] ---**
    I hear she is indescribably
    beautiful and mysterious.
**[06:59] ---**
    I am most curious to see her.
**[07:06] ---**
    Without a doubt,
**[07:07] ---**
    this recently discovered artifact
    is a fabrication by the Land of Ka.
**[07:10] ---**
    I am aware of that…
**[07:11] ---**
    The Land of Ka makes false claims
    against neighboring lands
**[07:14] ---**
    as a pretext to war.
**[07:15] ---**
    That's how they've
    expanded their lands.
**[07:17] ---**
    This case is no different.
**[07:19] ---**
    But they have an army three times
    greater than the Land of Sou.
**[07:23] ---**
    There is no way we can win.
**[07:25] ---**
    Suzaku and Genbu…
**[07:27] ---**
    Sending those two
    as messengers means…
**[07:30] ---**
    The Land of Ka is serious.
**[07:31] ---**
    We cannot be meek—
**[07:33] ---**
    Lord Tenji, let's stand up to them!
**[07:36] ---**
    If we are doomed anyway,
**[07:37] ---**
    let's go down fighting and
    show them the pride of the Sou!
**[07:40] ---**
    Do not panic just yet.
**[07:54] ---**
    Lord Tenji!
**[07:58] ---**
    What is Kaguya doing?
**[08:00] ---**
    Lady Kaguya spends her days
    looking up at the sky like that.
**[08:05] ---**
    It's as though she's waiting for
    someone to come for her…
**[08:10] ---**
    According to the villagers,
**[08:11] ---**
    they say Lady Kaguya
    came from the heavens…
**[08:16] ---**
    The thing is…I don't remember
    my first encounter with Kaguya.
**[08:20] ---**
    Oh?
**[08:22] ---**
    May I borrow that?
**[08:24] ---**
    Huh?
    Oh this?
**[08:34] ---**
    You must be freezing, standing in
    the cold night air for so long.
**[08:38] ---**
    I wonder if that glowing world above
    is always beautiful and at peace…
**[08:43] ---**
    A strange feeling comes over me
    as I gaze up at the night sky…
**[08:48] ---**
    The fact that such a beautiful light
    lies afloat in pitch darkness…
**[08:53] ---**
    Just what is it?
    Will I ever be able to go there?
**[09:01] ---**
    I hear that you gaze up
    at the sky every night…
**[09:05] ---**
    Are you waiting for someone?
**[09:11] ---**
    It's all right if that's the case.
**[09:13] ---**
    From now on, whenever you're
    lonely and look up at the sky,
**[09:16] ---**
    I shall be by your side.
**[09:21] ---**
    Is there anything that you desire?
**[09:27] ---**
    What I wish…is for peace
    with no more fighting.
**[09:32] ---**
    Peace…huh?
**[09:44] ---**
    They're from the Land of Ka!
**[09:46] ---**
    Why that—!
    They're messing with us!
**[09:48] ---**
    Don't!
**[09:49] ---**
    Can't you see they're just
    trying to provoke us?!
**[09:52] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:00] ---**
    Lord Tenji!
**[10:02] ---**
    The mischief caused by
    the Land of Ka at our border
**[10:04] ---**
    is growing steadily worse!
**[10:07] ---**
    Unless we take action…
**[10:09] ---**
    the farmers' ire will
    reach a breaking point!
**[10:12] ---**
    I understand…
**[10:13] ---**
    But I forbid you to confront
    the Land of Ka.
**[10:16] ---**
    But—!
**[10:17] ---**
    I seek peace.
**[10:19] ---**
    If fighting ensues, many will die.
**[10:23] ---**
    We must move forward with peaceful
    negotiations with the Land of Ka.
**[10:26] ---**
    Anyone who makes a move
    on the Land of Ka
**[10:28] ---**
    will be executed on my order.
**[10:31] ---**
    What is he thinking?
**[10:51] ---**
    Is Lord Tenji here?
**[10:53] ---**
    Yes…
    He comes nearly every night.
**[10:56] ---**
    It seems Lady Kaguya has come to
    accept his presence recently,
**[11:00] ---**
    and they've been spending more
    and more time together.
**[11:02] ---**
    I didn't ask you for details!
**[11:05] ---**
    Lord Tenji! Lord Tenji!
**[11:08] ---**
    What do you want at this hour?
**[11:11] ---**
    The Land of Ka is at the border
    with a large army!
**[11:14] ---**
    What?!
**[11:17] ---**
    Kaguya…
**[11:18] ---**
    I must depart for
    the front immediately.
**[11:21] ---**
    To war?
**[11:22] ---**
    No, this is for peace.
**[11:26] ---**
    But if things should go wrong…
**[11:29] ---**
    Prepare to go into hiding right away!
**[11:31] ---**
    Yes!
**[11:32] ---**
    Do not worry.
    I shall return right away.
**[11:43] ---**
    Let's go!
**[11:45] ---**
    Yes!
**[11:47] ---**
    Guard the castle.
**[11:49] ---**
    Leave it to us.
**[12:25] ---**
    So that Kaguya has left
    the capital of Sou…
**[12:29] ---**
    This is the perfect opportunity
    to capture that woman.
**[12:32] ---**
    There's no need to rush.
**[12:35] ---**
    The Land of Sou
    will be ours in no time.
**[12:38] ---**
    It's just one woman…
    Be patient.
**[12:41] ---**
    It's my policy to get what I want
    as fast as I can.
**[12:45] ---**
    You're hopeless…
**[12:47] ---**
    Gather skilled men.
    We're going after Kaguya.
**[12:51] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[13:15] ---**
    You can't sleep?
**[13:18] ---**
    I'll stay with you.
**[13:47] ---**
    Enemy attack!
    Alert!
**[13:50] ---**
    Lady Kaguya! Lady Aino!
**[13:52] ---**
    What's going on?
**[13:57] ---**
    So this is where you were hiding!
**[14:00] ---**
    Who are you?!
**[14:01] ---**
    You dare approach knowing that
    this lady is Lord Tenji's concubine?!
**[14:04] ---**
    Tenji?
**[14:06] ---**
    I'm from the Land of Ka,
    why should I care about him?
**[14:10] ---**
    The Land of Sou will fall very soon.
**[14:12] ---**
    To put it bluntly, what belongs to
    Tenji will soon belong to me.
**[14:17] ---**
    The rumors were right…
    such a beauty.
**[14:19] ---**
    And very refined.
**[14:21] ---**
    From this moment on, you are mine!
**[14:23] ---**
    Lady Kaguya, please run!
**[14:25] ---**
    Lady Kaguya…
**[14:26] ---**
    Like you can escape!
**[14:37] ---**
    Lady Kaguya!
**[14:40] ---**
    Even in this situation,
    you're not scared…
**[14:42] ---**
    Well, that just makes me
    like you more!
**[14:45] ---**
    Take her!
**[14:52] ---**
    Do not touch me.
**[14:56] ---**
    Don't back off!
**[15:09] ---**
    So the bewitching beauty
    is actually a monster…
**[15:14] ---**
    Th-The Land of Sou
    is really doomed now…
**[15:21] ---**
    I would like you to withdraw
    your troops immediately.
**[15:23] ---**
    You seem to be under
    the wrong impression, Lord Tenji.
**[15:27] ---**
    We are not at war.
**[15:29] ---**
    This army is just to
    protect our boundary.
**[15:32] ---**
    Such a large army just to
    protect the boundary is…
**[15:35] ---**
    I do not intend to wage war either.
**[15:38] ---**
    There's proof in the fact that
**[15:41] ---**
    I have ordered anyone who draws
    his sword against the Land of Ka
**[15:43] ---**
    to be executed immediately.
**[15:45] ---**
    Oh, is that so?
**[15:47] ---**
    Then I want you to execute Kaguya.
**[15:52] ---**
    This woman known as Kaguya killed
    my vassal, and then tried to kill me!
**[15:57] ---**
    Impossible…
**[15:59] ---**
    Kaguya would never—!
**[16:00] ---**
    If you think I'm lying,
    ask this woman.
**[16:04] ---**
    Is it true?
**[16:07] ---**
    Yes.
**[16:09] ---**
    Lady Kaguya…
**[16:10] ---**
    dispatched the soldiers of Ka
    with frightening power…
**[16:14] ---**
    Lord Tenji!
**[16:15] ---**
    Unless you behead Kaguya,
    this war will not end!
**[16:23] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[16:31] ---**
    What happened to you?
**[16:33] ---**
    That woman Kaguya…
    is a horrible monster.
**[16:37] ---**
    Leave the witch-hunt to them…
**[16:39] ---**
    And in the interim,
    we'll conquer everything.
**[16:52] ---**
    Kaguya did this?
**[16:54] ---**
    Whatever the reason,
**[16:55] ---**
    there seems to be no doubt that
    she tried to kill Sir Suzaku.
**[16:59] ---**
    Kaguya…
**[17:01] ---**
    What are you going to do,
    Lord Tenji?!
**[17:04] ---**
    Are you really going to
    execute Lady Kaguya?
**[17:09] ---**
    Unless I give them her head,
    war will not be averted…
**[17:14] ---**
    Are you really willing to do that?
**[17:21] ---**
    Send all troops after Kaguya…
**[17:24] ---**
    Leave no stone unturned. Find her.
**[17:29] ---**
    I have no other choice…
**[17:38] ---**
    Are they…
**[17:39] ---**
    …pursuers?
**[17:54] ---**
    They're from the Land of Sou!
**[17:56] ---**
    So Lord Tenji dispatched them!
**[17:59] ---**
    Let us hurry.
    My fate is with the Divine Tree!
**[18:12] ---**
    Lady Kaguya!
**[18:14] ---**
    If you explain
    what happened to Lord Tenji,
**[18:16] ---**
    I'm certain that he will forgive you…
**[18:22] ---**
    Lady Kaguya…
**[18:23] ---**
    My strength…
**[18:26] ---**
    Lady Kaguya!
    Could you be…with child?
**[18:30] ---**
    This is terrible!
**[18:31] ---**
    How could Lord Tenji—?!
**[18:34] ---**
    I must get to the Divine Tree…
**[18:35] ---**
    Please go…
    I will stop them.
**[18:39] ---**
    Wait!
**[18:40] ---**
    Lord Tenji!
    Please order your soldiers to retreat!
**[18:45] ---**
    Lady Kaguya is with…
**[18:49] ---**
    Aino!
**[18:59] ---**
    …with your child, Lord Tenji!
**[19:04] ---**
    Lady Kaguya…
**[19:08] ---**
    Please bear…a healthy…
**[19:12] ---**
    Aino!
**[19:21] ---**
    It's now time to destroy
    the Land of Sou!
**[19:25] ---**
    Onward!
**[19:26] ---**
    The Land of Sou will now be ours.
**[19:35] ---**
    Kaguya…
**[20:03] ---**
    Kaguya!
**[20:10] ---**
    Shine upon the world,
    Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[20:21] ---**
    What is this?
**[20:48] ---**
    Kaguya…
**[20:55] ---**
    What…are…you?
**[21:08] ---**
    I shall rule over this world…
    Together with my children.
**[22:48] ---**
    Mother loved this world.
    
**[22:51] ---**
    She tried to love humans.
    
**[22:53] ---**
    But that hope was dashed.
    
**[22:55] ---**
    She personally ate
    the fruit of the Divine Tree
    
**[22:57] ---**
    to try and protect her children.
    
**[23:00] ---**
    But real despair started there…
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Hagoromo and Hamura"
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    Shortly after,
    Mother gave birth to twins.
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    HAGOROMO AND HAMURA

    Tune in again!

**[01:41] ---**
    *Hagoromo and Hamura*
    
    
**[01:46] ---**
    Mother loved this world.
    She tried to love humans.
**[01:52] ---**
    But her wish was dashed
**[01:55] ---**
    so she ate the fruit of the Divine Tree
    to try to protect her children.
**[01:59] ---**
    However…
**[02:01] ---**
    Mother's real tale of despair
    begins from here…
**[02:07] ---**
    Shortly afterwards,
    Mother gave birth to twins.
**[02:12] ---**
    They were…Hagoromo and Hamura.
**[02:28] ---**
    Mother looks up at the sky
    like that every day…
**[02:32] ---**
    I wonder what she's looking for?
**[02:35] ---**
    She never tells us anything.
    No one knows what's in her heart.
**[02:42] ---**
    Perhaps she has feelings that even we,
    her own sons, cannot fathom.
**[02:55] ---**
    Hey, Hagoromo and Hamura!
    Please come with me!
**[02:58] ---**
    What's the matter, Haori?
**[03:04] ---**
    If you use all the water at your place,
**[03:07] ---**
    there won't be any water
    downstream for the rice paddies.
**[03:10] ---**
    That's not my fault!
**[03:12] ---**
    Wait!
    What's going on?
**[03:17] ---**
    I'll tell ya what's going on!
    This guy is taking all the water!
**[03:20] ---**
    My paddy's upstream,
    so I can't help it!
**[03:24] ---**
    But until now, wasn't there
    enough water for everyone?
**[03:28] ---**
    Well, all of a sudden,
    the flow of the river's gotten weak.
**[03:43] ---**
    Did something happen upstream?
**[03:46] ---**
    I would go and check,
**[03:48] ---**
    but there's a huge bear
    roaming around this mountain.
**[03:51] ---**
    You gotta be really careful.
**[03:53] ---**
    Just recently, an old lady went
    foraging for edible wild plants,
**[03:56] ---**
    and got hurt really bad.
**[03:58] ---**
    All right. We'll go check.
**[04:00] ---**
    Really? That'd be great!
**[04:03] ---**
    Be careful, Hagoromo.
**[04:05] ---**
    We'll be fine.
**[04:07] ---**
    Let's go, Hamura.
**[04:08] ---**
    Right.
**[04:14] ---**
    See anything?
**[04:15] ---**
    Hold on a minute.
**[04:20] ---**
    There's a huge boulder upstream.
**[04:31] ---**
    I see…
**[04:32] ---**
    So this is what's blocking
    the flow of the river.
**[04:35] ---**
    But where did this boulder
    come from?
**[04:38] ---**
    It wasn't there the last time
    we were up here.
**[04:41] ---**
    Either it fell from somewhere,
    or someone put it there.
**[04:45] ---**
    What do you bean by "someone"?
**[04:47] ---**
    No one can move a boulder this big
**[04:49] ---**
    other than Mother and you,
    Elder Brother.
**[04:52] ---**
    I put it there.
**[04:58] ---**
    Hey, don't brush me off
    like I'm some sort of bug…
**[05:02] ---**
    ‘Cuz I'm not a bug…
**[05:04] ---**
    I'm a toad.
**[05:09] ---**
    Hey, am I going crazy?
**[05:13] ---**
    There's a toad trying to
    make bad jokes…
**[05:16] ---**
    Well, Elder Brother,
    it must mean I'm going crazy too.
**[05:21] ---**
    No, you're not going crazy.
    I really am talking to you.
**[05:27] ---**
    But if you think my jokes aren't funny,
    then *that's* a little crazy.
**[05:37] ---**
    No one's hiding around here…
**[05:39] ---**
    It's not some
    Ventriloquism Jutsu either.
**[05:42] ---**
    You're pretty wary for a human.
**[05:46] ---**
    You're pretty arrogant for a toad.
**[05:48] ---**
    We toads have lived here
    far longer than you.
**[05:52] ---**
    You just don't know it.
**[05:54] ---**
    A talking toad…
**[05:56] ---**
    You think people will be happy
    if we captured it and took it home?
**[05:59] ---**
    Fool!
**[06:00] ---**
    Do you really think you both
    can catch me?
**[06:03] ---**
    For a toad, you sure talk big…
**[06:07] ---**
    It seems we have a guest.
**[06:17] ---**
    That's a huge bear!
**[06:20] ---**
    Perfect timing.
    I'll show you just how strong I am.
**[06:37] ---**
    I placed this boulder here
    so I could meet you two.
**[06:41] ---**
    My name is Gamamaru.
**[06:43] ---**
    And you two are Hagoromo
    and Hamura, right?
**[06:46] ---**
    A toad just addressed us
    by our first names…
**[06:49] ---**
    Come with me, you two.
**[06:54] ---**
    Oops, I almost forgot.
**[06:59] ---**
    Oh…
    Not bad.
**[07:11] ---**
    Why did you bring us here?
**[07:14] ---**
    Do you know what that is?
**[07:16] ---**
    Of course.
**[07:18] ---**
    That's the Peak of Demise.
**[07:21] ---**
    Have you ever seen
    what's beyond that?
**[07:24] ---**
    No, never.
**[07:26] ---**
    Mother has warned us
    not to go near that peak.
**[07:29] ---**
    Everyone must follow that law.
**[07:31] ---**
    No one has ever seen
    what's on the other side.
**[07:35] ---**
    The truth behind the Divine Tree
    is beyond that peak.
**[07:38] ---**
    The truth behind the Divine Tree?
**[07:40] ---**
    The Divine Tree has been
    absorbing the power of this land.
**[07:44] ---**
    As long as that tree exists,
    the land will continue to weaken.
**[07:48] ---**
    Is that true?
**[07:49] ---**
    But I've heard that it's because of
    the power of the Divine Tree
**[07:52] ---**
    that this land has thrived.
**[07:53] ---**
    You're wrong!
**[07:55] ---**
    If you want to know the truth,
**[07:56] ---**
    go see what's on the other side
    of that peak.
**[07:59] ---**
    Later!
**[08:05] ---**
    "The truth"?
**[08:12] ---**
    Is Lady Kaguya really not here?
**[08:14] ---**
    How many times must I tell you?
    She's not here.
**[08:18] ---**
    Welcome home,
    Masters Hagoromo and Hamura.
**[08:21] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[08:22] ---**
    This man is very persistent.
**[08:25] ---**
    Who are you?
**[08:27] ---**
    I'm a traveling medicine peddler.
**[08:29] ---**
    I wanted to do some business here
**[08:31] ---**
    and came to get
    Lady Kaguya's permission.
**[08:35] ---**
    Where is Mother?
**[08:36] ---**
    She said she would be away tonight.
**[08:39] ---**
    I see, so she's gone out again.
**[08:42] ---**
    She's been away a lot lately.
**[08:43] ---**
    What do I do now?
**[08:49] ---**
    Well now, what do you have here?
**[08:51] ---**
    Let me take a look
    at your medicines.
**[08:57] ---**
    What are you doing to
    my products?!
**[08:59] ---**
    These are just weeds
    and moldy nuts…
**[09:03] ---**
    This one's a poisonous mushroom.
**[09:05] ---**
    If you take these,
    you'll get even sicker.
**[09:09] ---**
    You're just a snake oil salesman…
**[09:13] ---**
    This village has our mother,
    my elder brother and me.
**[09:17] ---**
    We can cure any illness anywhere,
    at anytime.
**[09:20] ---**
    No one will buy stuff like this.
**[09:23] ---**
    Your power…
    Is it from the Divine Tree?
**[09:26] ---**
    Just get out of here…
    or you'll be sorry.
**[09:38] ---**
    Damn it!
    How dare they belittle me!
**[09:43] ---**
    They made me so mad,
    my back pain is flaring up again.
**[09:49] ---**
    The Divine Tree, huh?
**[09:52] ---**
    If I take even just a small branch,
    I could sell it for a fortune…
**[09:57] ---**
    Yes! While the devil is away…
**[09:58] ---**
    Just forget about it.
**[10:00] ---**
    Don't be foolish enough
    to go near the Divine Tree. You'll die.
**[10:03] ---**
    You are—!
**[10:05] ---**
    I apologize for earlier.
**[10:07] ---**
    My younger brother
    is quite hot-tempered.
**[10:10] ---**
    What do you want?!
**[10:11] ---**
    Oww!
**[10:13] ---**
    I want to ask you something.
**[10:15] ---**
    Are you joking?!
**[10:17] ---**
    You're not getting
    anything out of me!
**[10:18] ---**
    If you answer me,
    I'll heal your back.
**[10:24] ---**
    Like doing that will cure anything.
**[10:26] ---**
    If it's that simple,
    no one would go through…
**[10:28] ---**
    What? The pain's gone?!
**[10:31] ---**
    Hey! You really did fix my back!
**[10:34] ---**
    So, will you answer my questions?
**[10:37] ---**
    Yes! Anything!
**[10:40] ---**
    You've traveled to
    many different places, correct?
**[10:43] ---**
    Oh, yes.
    That's how I make my living.
**[10:47] ---**
    Have you ever seen
    what's beyond that peak?
**[10:50] ---**
    No, I haven't.
    But I've seen many other lands…
**[10:55] ---**
    What do they say about
    my mother in other lands?
**[10:57] ---**
    Well, that's…um…
**[11:00] ---**
    Tell me even if
    it's something negative.
**[11:02] ---**
    Okay.
**[11:04] ---**
    There are rumors about people
    rebelling here and there,
**[11:09] ---**
    over Lady Kaguya's
    Ritual of the Divine Tree.
**[11:12] ---**
    And in order to suppress them,
**[11:14] ---**
    Lady Kaguya has
    annihilated the instigators.
**[11:18] ---**
    Lately, rumors are swirling that
    Lady Kaguya is just a tyrant…
**[11:24] ---**
    "Annihilated"?
**[11:25] ---**
    No wonder Mother has been
    away a lot…
**[11:29] ---**
    Leave, and never return.
    It's for your own good.
**[11:34] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[11:49] ---**
    Everything is going well.
**[11:52] ---**
    Elder Brother?
**[11:53] ---**
    Hmm?
    Oh good, no news is good news.
**[11:57] ---**
    Elder Brother, are you still thinking
    about what that toad said?
**[12:02] ---**
    No… It's not about that, but…
**[12:10] ---**
    They're part of the Ritual
    of the Divine Tree…
**[12:17] ---**
    No way!
**[12:19] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[12:21] ---**
    Haori!
**[12:23] ---**
    Hagoromo…
    Hamura…
**[12:25] ---**
    What's going on?
**[12:26] ---**
    I've received notice
    to serve the Divine Tree.
**[12:30] ---**
    But—!
**[12:32] ---**
    I have no choice.
**[12:34] ---**
    This is a ceremony that Lady Kaguya
    established eons ago…
**[12:38] ---**
    Hagoromo, Hamura…
**[12:40] ---**
    It was only for a short time,
    but I'm glad I got to meet you two.
**[12:44] ---**
    Please remember me.
**[12:49] ---**
    Haori!
**[13:01] ---**
    Mother…
**[13:03] ---**
    Please end
    the Ritual of the Divine Tree.
**[13:07] ---**
    That is not possible.
**[13:09] ---**
    But—!
**[13:10] ---**
    I will not tolerate any defiance,
    even if you are my sons.
**[13:15] ---**
    Then please tell me…
**[13:16] ---**
    What happens to those who go to
    the Divine Tree as part of this ritual?
**[13:21] ---**
    Why does no one ever return?
**[13:24] ---**
    This ritual is necessary…
    until the others arrive.
**[13:29] ---**
    "The others"?
**[13:32] ---**
    You don't need to know
    about them just yet.
**[13:38] ---**
    Hagoromo, Hamura…
    I am leaving once more.
**[13:42] ---**
    Take care of things in my absence.
**[13:44] ---**
    Yes.
**[13:52] ---**
    Elder Brother…
    You're not thinking of…
**[13:54] ---**
    Yes, I intend to climb that peak.
**[13:58] ---**
    If Mother finds out, you'll get
    into a great deal of trouble.
**[14:01] ---**
    I'm prepared for the consequences.
**[14:04] ---**
    Okay, Elder Brother.
    I'm coming with you.
**[14:27] ---**
    What is this?!
**[14:30] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[14:34] ---**
    Hamura!
**[14:55] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[14:56] ---**
    Elder Brother!
    Can you deal with this cocoon?
**[15:03] ---**
    Haori!
**[15:06] ---**
    Haori! Wake up, Haori!
**[15:09] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[15:11] ---**
    It's no use…
**[15:14] ---**
    She's dead.
**[15:22] ---**
    So this is…the truth behind
    the Ritual of the Divine Tree.
**[15:30] ---**
    Elder Brother! Your eyes!
**[15:36] ---**
    Come out, Gamamaru!
**[15:45] ---**
    It seems like you went
    beyond that peak…
**[15:55] ---**
    Come with me.
**[16:04] ---**
    Where are we?
**[16:05] ---**
    This is the Land of Toads.
**[16:11] ---**
    What is this…strange power I feel?
**[16:15] ---**
    Oh… I'm impressed that a human
    can feel the power here.
**[16:20] ---**
    The natural power known as
    Sage Power flows freely here.
**[16:24] ---**
    And so, if you use this power…
**[16:29] ---**
    Even I can do something like this.
**[16:32] ---**
    Wow…
**[16:34] ---**
    Follow me!
**[16:41] ---**
    This is known as the Memory Stone.
**[16:44] ---**
    "Memory Stone"?
**[16:45] ---**
    Everything that occurs aboveground
    is recorded in this stone…
**[16:50] ---**
    Look at what happened in the past…
**[16:55] ---**
    Long ago, that tree fell
    from the sky…
**[17:00] ---**
    And, as if in pursuit, your mother
    Kaguya appeared here.
**[17:06] ---**
    And when your mother arrived,
**[17:08] ---**
    she fell in love with
    the emperor of this land
**[17:11] ---**
    and she became pregnant with you.
**[17:13] ---**
    However,
**[17:15] ---**
    Kaguya's destiny with humans
    was to be trifled by them
**[17:18] ---**
    and in the end,
    she became their enemy.
**[17:21] ---**
    Kaguya acquired the power
    of the Divine Tree,
**[17:23] ---**
    and your father,
    along with his people,
**[17:26] ---**
    were sacrificed to it.
**[17:29] ---**
    But, to make sure
    mankind didn't perish,
**[17:31] ---**
    she revived some of the humans,
**[17:33] ---**
    erased their memories
    and put them back.
**[17:36] ---**
    Only Kaguya knows the truth.
**[17:39] ---**
    Where is Mother from anyway?
**[17:41] ---**
    Why does she protect
    the Divine Tree?
**[17:43] ---**
    I don't know.
**[17:45] ---**
    Perhaps it's related to the fact that
    she appeared from far up in the sky.
**[17:49] ---**
    One thing *is* clear…
**[17:52] ---**
    Since the Divine Tree took root,
**[17:54] ---**
    the Nature Energy of this land
    is being depleted.
**[17:59] ---**
    How could that happen?
**[18:02] ---**
    Not just from the land…
    but from humans too.
**[18:05] ---**
    As long as that Divine Tree exists…
**[18:07] ---**
    this great land will wither,
    and we will suffer the same fate.
**[18:18] ---**
    We must speak with mother.
**[18:21] ---**
    Will she even listen to us?
**[18:25] ---**
    Hagoromo,
    your mother's power is immense.
**[18:29] ---**
    I doubt that you can
    confront her directly.
**[18:33] ---**
    Even if you are her son.
**[18:36] ---**
    Gamamaru, will you teach me
    how to use Sage Power?
**[18:41] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[18:42] ---**
    You're not planning to fight Mother,
    are you?!
**[18:45] ---**
    It's just in case…
**[18:47] ---**
    I see…
**[18:48] ---**
    If you, who inherited Kaguya's power,
    acquire Sage Power…
**[18:53] ---**
    you could definitely take her on.
**[18:56] ---**
    – However…
    – What is it?
**[18:58] ---**
    Teaching you Sage Power
    is very risky.
**[19:02] ---**
    Why is that?
**[19:03] ---**
    Is there any guarantee that
    after acquiring Sage Power,
**[19:06] ---**
    you won't become the same
    as your mother?
**[19:09] ---**
    Gamamaru… After coming this far,
    have you become scared?
**[19:12] ---**
    What did you say?
**[19:14] ---**
    You're contradicting yourself.
**[19:16] ---**
    Why did you lie in wait for us, then?
**[19:19] ---**
    You planned to pit us against Mother
    and make us fight from the very start.
**[19:26] ---**
    You're pretty shrewd for a human,
    aren't you?
**[19:29] ---**
    Yes, I had a revelation.
**[19:32] ---**
    Revelation?
**[19:33] ---**
    Yes, a dream.
    Toads rarely, if ever, dream.
**[19:37] ---**
    But that dream was
    more like a prophecy…
**[19:40] ---**
    I dreamed of you battling Kaguya.
**[19:45] ---**
    How did it end?
**[19:46] ---**
    I don't think his dream
    went that far.
**[19:48] ---**
    If it did,
    he wouldn't be so nervous.
**[19:50] ---**
    Wha—?! How can you see so far
    into a toad's heart so clearly…
**[19:54] ---**
    Just who are you?
**[20:06] ---**
    Clear your mind…
**[20:08] ---**
    Just feel the Nature Energy
    and take it into yourself.
**[20:21] ---**
    *He's a surprise…*
**[20:23] ---**
    *Hagoromo's acquired Sage Power*
    *in no time at all.*
**[20:35] ---**
    Mother!
    You're back so soon…
**[20:38] ---**
    Where is Hagoromo?
**[20:42] ---**
    Elder Brother is still out
    patrolling the village…
**[20:45] ---**
    Hamura!
**[20:48] ---**
    Hiding things from me is useless.
**[20:59] ---**
    It's useless…even if you try to
    repel me with your Byakugan…
**[21:04] ---**
    My Byakugan is far more
    superior to yours.
**[22:48] ---**
    You two broke the law,
    and went to the peak, didn't you?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Hiding things from me is useless.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    I can read your thoughts
    and feelings.
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Then why?
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    You must know why we're
    angry with you, Mother.
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    It seems that you were in love
    with that young girl…
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Fabricated Past"
    
    
    
**[23:11] ---**
    Mother, even you must have
    believed in that in the past!
    
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    A FABRICATED PAST
    
    
    
**[23:25] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:41] ---**
    *A Fabricated Past*
**[02:06] ---**
    I think…
**[02:08] ---**
    I've mastered Sage Power.
**[02:10] ---**
    Well, you just might be able
    to take Kaguya on.
**[02:17] ---**
    A Messenger Toad?
**[02:24] ---**
    What?!
**[02:26] ---**
    What happened?
**[02:27] ---**
    Kaguya has returned and they're not
    able to contact Hamura anymore.
**[02:32] ---**
    Then…
**[02:34] ---**
    It's safe to assume that
    she has seen through our plans.
**[02:39] ---**
    The moment of confrontation
    has now arrived.
**[03:01] ---**
    Forgive me, everyone!
**[03:04] ---**
    But this is the only way
    to save this land.
**[03:17] ---**
    This is far enough.
**[03:19] ---**
    Any closer, and it would
    be dangerous.
**[03:21] ---**
    Go and hide somewhere.
**[03:24] ---**
    If you and Kaguya fight…
**[03:27] ---**
    …I can't begin to imagine
    the scope of the battle.
**[03:35] ---**
    This is for the both of you.
**[03:41] ---**
    What is this tag?
**[03:44] ---**
    SAGE
**[03:45] ---**
    SAGE
    Do you feel its enormous power?
**[03:47] ---**
    It's a treasure that
    has been passed down
**[03:49] ---**
    in the Land of Toads.
**[03:51] ---**
    It is forbidden to take it
    outside of our land,
**[03:52] ---**
    but our lives are also on the line.
**[03:57] ---**
    There is Sage Power
    infused in that tag.
**[04:00] ---**
    Our ancestors sacrificed
    their lives to make it.
**[04:03] ---**
    Use it when you don't have time
    to replenish your Sage Power.
**[04:07] ---**
    It can only be used once,
    but it can revive you,
**[04:10] ---**
    even if you're on the verge
    of death.
**[04:12] ---**
    I am indebted to you.
**[04:14] ---**
    I will pray for you and
    your brother's success.
**[04:35] ---**
    Mother.
**[04:38] ---**
    Hagoromo…
**[04:40] ---**
    You two broke the law and
    went to that peak, didn't you?
**[04:44] ---**
    Hiding things from me
    is useless.
**[04:47] ---**
    I can read your thoughts
    and feelings.
**[04:50] ---**
    Then you must know
    why we're angry with you, Mother.
**[04:57] ---**
    It seems you were in love
    with that young girl…
**[05:01] ---**
    Not just her…
**[05:03] ---**
    But everyone from this land,
    every single one of them…
**[05:06] ---**
    I loved them all, Mother.
**[05:09] ---**
    I also found out what
    you did in the past.
**[05:13] ---**
    Why would you do
    such a terrible thing?
**[05:17] ---**
    You both don't know
    how dreadful they can be.
**[05:22] ---**
    That is why an army is necessary.
**[05:25] ---**
    They're your soldiers?
**[05:27] ---**
    Mother, just what are you?
**[05:30] ---**
    Where did you come from?
**[05:32] ---**
    I come…
**[05:35] ---**
    from a place
    far, far away in the sky…
**[05:38] ---**
    A place where you two
    can never go.
**[05:41] ---**
    But someday, they will come
    to take me back.
**[05:45] ---**
    Love doesn't work on them…
**[05:47] ---**
    They only understand power.
**[05:50] ---**
    Still…
**[05:52] ---**
    even you must have believed
    in love in the past?!
**[05:55] ---**
    We are proof of that love.
**[05:57] ---**
    But…
**[05:59] ---**
    my love was also betrayed.
**[06:01] ---**
    *Lady Kaguya!*
**[06:01] ---**
    *My strength…*
**[06:03] ---**
    *Lady Kaguya is with…*
**[06:07] ---**
    *Aino!*
**[06:09] ---**
    And now, I am to be betrayed
    by the two
**[06:11] ---**
    for whom I risked my life,
    and shared my power with.
**[06:16] ---**
    Mother, please feel the power
    of love once more…
**[06:19] ---**
    and stop the Ritual of
    the Divine Tree!
**[06:21] ---**
    I will not.
**[06:22] ---**
    Mother!
**[06:23] ---**
    I protected you,
    and nurtured you all this time.
**[06:29] ---**
    It seems it was all for naught.
**[06:31] ---**
    We will never see eye to eye.
**[06:34] ---**
    So, Hagoromo…
**[06:37] ---**
    I am taking back…that power.
**[06:45] ---**
    Hamura!
**[06:52] ---**
    Mother!
**[06:53] ---**
    What did you do to Hamura?!
**[06:55] ---**
    Hagoromo, if this love
    you speak of is real…
**[06:58] ---**
    you will not be
    able to kill Hamura.
**[07:03] ---**
    Snap out of it, Hamura!
**[07:06] ---**
    I'm not your enemy!
**[07:28] ---**
    So she took Hamura as a hostage!
**[07:35] ---**
    If he stays on the defense
    the whole time, even Hagoromo will…
**[07:46] ---**
    What's he planning on doing?
**[07:55] ---**
    Forgive me, Hamura!
**[08:08] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[08:28] ---**
    I…
**[08:30] ---**
    Mother was controlling you.
**[08:34] ---**
    I messed up, didn't I?
**[08:36] ---**
    Don't talk.
    I'll heal your wound.
**[08:40] ---**
    SAGE
    
**[08:51] ---**
    Damn it…
**[08:53] ---**
    Using the Secret Treasure of
    the Toads for that purpose…
**[09:02] ---**
    The wound is healed!
**[09:04] ---**
    What did you do, Elder Brother?
**[09:06] ---**
    If we make it out of this alive,
    thank Gamamaru.
**[09:16] ---**
    Hagoromo…
**[09:18] ---**
    Hamura!
**[09:22] ---**
    Mother…
**[09:26] ---**
    I am indebted to you.
**[09:28] ---**
    You enabled me to awaken
    my Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan.
**[09:42] ---**
    What is that?
**[09:44] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[09:46] ---**
    Look!
**[10:10] ---**
    What in the world is that?
**[10:12] ---**
    I feel an enormous power…
**[10:28] ---**
    And that is how Hagoromo
    and Hamura's battle
**[10:32] ---**
    with my mother Kaguya began.
**[10:36] ---**
    This is where
    the real battle started.
**[10:40] ---**
    Mother had the power
    of the Divine Tree.
**[10:43] ---**
    In order to protect Mother,
**[10:44] ---**
    the Divine Tree turned
    into the Ten Tails.
**[10:48] ---**
    The Ten Tails was not
    just the Divine Tree,
**[10:51] ---**
    but also my mother herself.
**[10:54] ---**
    It was not just the manifestation
    of the Divine Tree
**[10:56] ---**
    trying to take back chakra…
**[10:58] ---**
    It was the will of my mother
    trying to take back
**[11:01] ---**
    the chakra she had shared
    with her two sons.
**[11:25] ---**
    The intense fighting between
    my mother and the brothers
**[11:29] ---**
    continued for months.
**[11:32] ---**
    It took a massive toll
    on the land.
**[11:37] ---**
    And at long last,
    the decisive moment came to be.
**[11:49] ---**
    Hagoromo and Hamura's powers
    overcame Mother's.
**[11:56] ---**
    Now, Elder Brother!
**[12:00] ---**
    Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!
**[12:39] ---**
    Mother gathered up every ounce
    of energy she had left,
**[12:42] ---**
    and just before the seal took hold,
    she gave birth to me.
**[12:47] ---**
    You…came out of her?
**[12:49] ---**
    Even Hagoromo did not
    know of this truth…
**[12:52] ---**
    Nor was he aware that
**[12:54] ---**
    I was working on
    her behalf to restore her.
**[13:45] ---**
    I split the Ten Tails
    into nine souls.
**[14:02] ---**
    When you look at them like this,
    they're very cute.
**[14:05] ---**
    What will you do with them?
**[14:08] ---**
    I will take care of
    these Tailed Beasts.
**[14:11] ---**
    I will raise them to trust humans
    and to help them.
**[14:23] ---**
    Elder Brother, I think I'm going
    to stay by Mother.
**[14:26] ---**
    Hamura?
**[14:28] ---**
    When I was being controlled,
**[14:30] ---**
    Mother's consciousness
    was present inside of me.
**[14:33] ---**
    I felt her emotions.
**[14:35] ---**
    Mother was afraid all
    of the time.
**[14:37] ---**
    In order to protect us,
**[14:40] ---**
    Mother only did what
    she thought she had to do…
**[14:43] ---**
    It made me feel that she was just
    a woman, alone all by herself.
**[14:47] ---**
    I guess I love Mother, after all.
**[14:51] ---**
    Hamura…
**[14:52] ---**
    You are a kind soul.
**[14:56] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[14:57] ---**
    I will always be up there
    in the sky…
**[14:59] ---**
    watching over the world
    you create.
**[15:04] ---**
    Come visit once in a while.
**[15:06] ---**
    We won't be that far apart.
**[15:10] ---**
    I will. Take care of yourself.
**[15:21] ---**
    And so, that's how the battle between
    my mother and the brothers ended.
**[15:26] ---**
    But I was left, with no power at all.
**[15:30] ---**
    That is why I went deep
    into the darkness,
**[15:33] ---**
    and carefully planned
    my mother's revival.
**[15:38] ---**
    In the meantime, Hagoromo
    was ignorant of all of this
**[15:41] ---**
    and raised Indra and Ashura.
**[15:43] ---**
    He even created that Ninshu,
    Ninja Creed nonsense.
**[15:48] ---**
    Time passed and Hagoromo died…
**[15:51] ---**
    And just before passing away,
**[15:52] ---**
    he scattered the Tailed Beasts
    to various parts of this world.
**[15:56] ---**
    Two things are required
    to revive Mother…
**[15:59] ---**
    The Divine Tree and Infinite Tsukuyomi
    by means of Rinnegan.
**[16:03] ---**
    But the Rinnegan requires
    Hagoromo's chakra,
**[16:07] ---**
    which he passed on
    to Indra and Ashura.
**[16:09] ---**
    And the Tailed Beasts,
    which form the Ten Tails,
**[16:11] ---**
    were scattered across the world.
**[16:14] ---**
    In order to bring Mother back,
    all of these things had to be collected.
**[16:20] ---**
    You can't imagine the amount time
    that was required to do this.
**[16:24] ---**
    So first of all,
    in order to regain Hagoromo's chakra,
**[16:28] ---**
    I took advantage of Indra who
    lost the fight over succession.
**[16:33] ---**
    I tempted Indra.
**[16:35] ---**
    And later,
    I selected Indra's descendants,
**[16:38] ---**
    the Uchiha to be
    the cast of my tale.
**[16:43] ---**
    I revised the stupid script that
    Hagoromo wrote just a little bit.
**[16:49] ---**
    You mean…?!
**[16:51] ---**
    That's right.
    Hagoromo's Stone Tablet…
**[16:54] ---**
    I rewrote it to say
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi
**[16:58] ---**
    was the path to save
    the Uchiha.
**[17:01] ---**
    I must say…
**[17:02] ---**
    You Uchiha performed
    your parts brilliantly.
**[17:08] ---**
    Why you—!
**[17:10] ---**
    Indra and the Uchiha.
**[17:13] ---**
    Ashura and the Senju.
**[17:17] ---**
    I was able to set up a pattern
    of fighting and power seeking.
**[17:22] ---**
    Furthermore, time after time,
**[17:24] ---**
    I'd approach the reincarnate of
    Indra and Ashura in each clan…
**[17:30] ---**
    to attempt Rinnegan manifestation.
**[17:33] ---**
    But it always ended in failure.
**[17:35] ---**
    Just with that alone,
    a thousand years passed.
**[17:41] ---**
    But when Madara Uchiha and
    Hashirama Senju were reincarnated,
**[17:46] ---**
    I came to believe…
**[17:48] ---**
    that Madara could achieve it.
**[17:52] ---**
    That this was the first step
    towards Mother's revival.
**[17:57] ---**
    However…
**[18:24] ---**
    Madara Uchiha lost
    to Hashirama Senju…
**[18:29] ---**
    I thought I had to go back
    to the drawing board.
**[18:33] ---**
    But Fate did not turn
    her back on me…
**[18:37] ---**
    Madara's corpse is like
    a treasure trove to a shinobi.
**[18:43] ---**
    Tobirama, who had been studying
    the mysteries of the Sharingan,
**[18:47] ---**
    stopped short of disposing his corpse.
**[18:49] ---**
    And instead, hid Madara deep
    within the mountains of the Leaf Village.
**[18:53] ---**
    But Madara was no fool…
**[18:56] ---**
    He figured that if he lost
    to Senju in battle,
**[18:59] ---**
    Tobirama would not
    get rid of his body.
**[19:03] ---**
    So he placed a jutsu
    on himself.
**[19:06] ---**
    You can invoke a time-delay spell
    in one's eye
**[19:09] ---**
    using the Mangekyo Sharingan.
**[19:12] ---**
    Just like the way Itachi
    implanted the Amaterasu
**[19:15] ---**
    with a time delay in you, Sasuke.
**[19:19] ---**
    Madara had installed
    the Izanagi in his right eye.
**[19:24] ---**
    At the cost of his right eye,
**[19:26] ---**
    Madara rewrote reality
    and returned to life.
**[19:29] ---**
    He then passed off
    a shadow clone as his corpse.
**[19:34] ---**
    He vomited the flesh
    he bit off of Hashirama,
**[19:38] ---**
    and grafted it on his wound.
**[19:41] ---**
    After that, Madara awakened
    his Rinnegan…
**[19:45] ---**
    and summoned the Gedo Statue.
**[19:48] ---**
    He then cultured Hashirama's flesh
    using the Gedo Statue,
**[19:52] ---**
    in an attempt to prolong
    his life further.
**[19:54] ---**
    Those goblins, the White Zetsu,
**[19:57] ---**
    seemed to be an incidental
    by-product of that.
**[19:59] ---**
    But they were actually the people
    put under the last Infinite Tsukuyomi,
**[20:03] ---**
    whom I extracted from the statue.
**[20:06] ---**
    I just made it look that way.
**[20:08] ---**
    "Two polar opposites
    operating together
**[20:11] ---**
    gives rise to all things
    in this universe."
**[20:14] ---**
    Just as it was inscribed
    in the Stone Tablet,
**[20:17] ---**
    Madara solidified his attachment
    to Hashirama.
**[20:21] ---**
    I began formulating a plan…
**[20:23] ---**
    to collect the Tailed Beasts
    by making it look like
**[20:26] ---**
    I was born out of Madara,
    and to also manipulate Obito.
**[20:31] ---**
    I formed the Akatsuki and
    steered them towards war.
**[20:37] ---**
    In order to increase
    battle strength,
**[20:39] ---**
    I deliberately let Kabuto
    discover Madara's corpse…
**[20:42] ---**
    And in addition,
**[20:44] ---**
    I guided him to use Madara's corpse
    as a bargaining chip,
**[20:47] ---**
    and made Obito cooperate.
**[20:50] ---**
    This war went exactly as I planned.
**[20:52] ---**
    The Infinite Tsukuyomi was
    launched during this war…
**[20:56] ---**
    And by amassing a large amount
    of the human chakra
**[20:59] ---**
    that had been scattered…
**[21:00] ---**
    Mother was restored.
**[21:03] ---**
    I detest you…
**[21:06] ---**
    Hagoromo… Hamura…
**[21:09] ---**
    You are mine.
**[22:48] ---**
    My role has come to an end.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    You shall return with me to
    the almighty god that is mother.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    You two alone aren't
    the entirety of shinobi history!
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Besides, moms are supposed
    to be happy
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    about their kids
    leaving the nest!

    Your teenage rebellion continues…

**[00:30] ---**
    I…
**[00:33] ---**
    detest you.
**[00:36] ---**
    Hagoromo…
**[00:38] ---**
    Hamura…
**[00:41] ---**
    You…
**[00:45] ---**
    are mine.
**[00:47] ---**
    My role has come to an end.
**[00:50] ---**
    You shall return with me to

**[00:58] ---**

    Besides…
**[01:10] ---**
    moms are supposed to be happy

**[01:12] ---**
    That's what being a mom means!
**[01:16] ---**
    Your teenage rebellion continues.
**[01:19] ---**
    Mother is the very progenitor of chakra.
**[01:23] ---**
    You brats can't hope to
    accomplish anything.
**[01:28] ---**
    Naruto, we need to make an opening,
    so we can launch the Sealing Jutsu.
**[01:32] ---**
    Yeah!
**[01:33] ---**
    And the only thing that will work…
**[01:35] ---**
    is *that* jutsu!
**[03:07] ---**
    *The No. 1 Most Unpredictable Ninja*
    
    
    
**[03:14] ---**
    "That" jutsu?
**[03:16] ---**
    Yeah…
**[03:17] ---**
    Sasuke, hear me out.
**[03:20] ---**
    I don't know what you're scheming,
    but Mother absorbs all jutsu.
**[03:26] ---**
    Your actions are meaningless.
**[03:33] ---**
    How is it going?
**[03:36] ---**
    Looks like they're just staring
    each other down.
**[03:39] ---**
    I see…
**[03:42] ---**
    *The power to forcefully drag us all*
    *into this dimension,*
**[03:44] ---**
    *that isn't genjutsu…*
**[03:48] ---**
    This is on a totally different scale.
**[03:52] ---**
    She's like…
**[03:54] ---**
    …a god.
**[03:56] ---**
    How do you plan on fighting
    someone like that, Naruto?
**[04:00] ---**
    This could be the end…
**[04:04] ---**
    But we gotta give it our best shot.
**[04:07] ---**
    Just like we've been
    doing all along, right?
**[04:21] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[04:23] ---**
    We won't know unless we try.
**[04:28] ---**
    I've been secretly
    practicing this jutsu
**[04:30] ---**
    even more than the Rasengan,
    ya know?!
**[04:34] ---**
    It's worth giving it a shot, right?
**[04:41] ---**
    If there's a chance
    it'll create an opening…
**[04:46] ---**
    Fine. I'll get my left eye ready.
**[04:50] ---**
    Let's do it!
**[04:51] ---**
    Yeah!
**[04:55] ---**
    *Amaterasu!*
**[05:01] ---**
    They're making a move!
**[05:11] ---**
    Take this!
**[05:22] ---**
    Sexy Jutsu:
**[05:24] ---**
    - Reverse Harem Jutsu!
    - Reverse Harem Jutsu!
**[05:32] ---**
    *Sexy-type jutsu tend to work better*
    *on stronger opponents, ya know!*
**[05:37] ---**
    *That idiot! Using a jutsu like that*
    *in this situation?!*
**[05:41] ---**
    *That might work on me,*
    *but there's no way that jutsu*
**[05:44] ---**
    *will work on someone so god-like!*
**[05:51] ---**
    *It worked?!*
**[05:56] ---**
    *You may be the progenitor*
    *of chakra or whatever…*
**[05:59] ---**
    *But I'll bet you've never seen*
    *a jutsu like this!*
**[06:03] ---**
    This is the history of shinobi, ya fool!
**[06:06] ---**
    *The number one most unpredictable…*
**[06:09] ---**
    *Don't tell me that*
    *Naruto's Pervy Ninjutsu*
**[06:12] ---**
    *is going to save the world!*
**[06:16] ---**
    *I believe that Naruto is*
    *the Child of Prophecy*
**[06:19] ---**
    *who will save the world.*
**[06:22] ---**
    *Perhaps he's a throwback to another age*
    *in the Leaf's Shinobi Way.*
**[06:28] ---**
    *He's more like me than Minato,*
    *and he can be very endearing.*
**[06:33] ---**
    *Master Jiraiya, are you watching?!*
**[06:40] ---**
    Now, Naruto!
**[06:42] ---**
    Right!
**[07:03] ---**
    *It's cold! What's going on?!*
**[07:06] ---**
    *Ice?*
**[07:16] ---**
    It changed!
**[07:22] ---**
    This place…
    Did we shift dimensions again?
**[07:26] ---**
    Whose jutsu effects are
    we seeing, Naruto?
**[07:30] ---**
    Huh?!
**[07:31] ---**
    Uh, this is probably…
**[07:34] ---**
    It feels the same as the time
    we were taken
**[07:36] ---**
    to that previous lava world.
**[07:38] ---**
    There's no mistake that
    this is our enemy's ability.
**[07:42] ---**
    To be able to rewrite the world
    in an instant and make it reality…
**[07:46] ---**
    This really is just like genjutsu.
**[07:49] ---**
    An ice world this time?!
**[07:52] ---**
    On what principle?
**[08:09] ---**
    *She vanished!*
**[08:11] ---**
    *This ability…*
**[08:12] ---**
    *Can she move across dimensions?*
**[08:46] ---**
    Why that—!
**[08:50] ---**
    *Amaterasu!*
**[08:54] ---**
    *Flame Control!*
**[09:02] ---**
    Thanks, Sasuke!
**[09:05] ---**
    Sorry the Sexy Jutsu didn't work.
**[09:08] ---**
    I never really expected that
    kind of jutsu would work.
**[09:12] ---**
    This time, we're going
    with my strategy…
**[09:14] ---**
    Help me out.
**[09:17] ---**
    Mother… These two
    are quite annoying.
**[09:21] ---**
    Why don't you split them
    up already…
**[09:24] ---**
    and take them on separately?
**[09:41] ---**
    Where am I?
**[09:44] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[09:55] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:57] ---**
    Now you won't be able to
    seal Mother away.
**[10:01] ---**
    First, I'll suck out all
    of your chakra!
**[10:15] ---**
    You have nice reflexes.
**[10:19] ---**
    First, I have to find Sasuke!
**[10:23] ---**
    This child is fast.
**[10:26] ---**
    So I guess I won't be able to tell
    where she's gonna strike from…
**[10:53] ---**
    What is that?
**[11:42] ---**
    Is it possible that…
**[11:43] ---**
    we're the only ones
    who were brought to this world?
**[11:47] ---**
    No. The real me is here too.
**[11:52] ---**
    But I can't sense Sasuke.
**[12:03] ---**
    Where am I?
**[12:03] ---**
    Obito!
**[12:05] ---**
    Is that you, Kakashi?
**[12:09] ---**
    I thought I died…
**[12:13] ---**
    I healed you.
**[12:16] ---**
    Naruto!
**[12:18] ---**
    But…
**[12:21] ---**
    Yeah…
**[12:23] ---**
    I know.
**[12:26] ---**
    What happened to Madara?
**[12:28] ---**
    Did you take him down?
**[12:29] ---**
    No, things ended up
    a little differently.
**[12:33] ---**
    I'll explain it simply.
**[12:36] ---**
    Might as well tell you guys
    about The Sage of the Six Paths
**[12:39] ---**
    and Kaguya too, and that seal!
**[12:42] ---**
    I don't know what happened,
**[12:44] ---**
    but I assume you didn't defeat
    the enemy yet?
**[12:47] ---**
    Take me to where the fight is.
**[12:50] ---**
    You can tell me on the way.
**[12:53] ---**
    I can't sense Sasuke…
**[12:55] ---**
    And my real body feels tingly.
**[12:58] ---**
    It might be real dangerous
    over there!
**[13:02] ---**
    I don't know if we'll be helpful
    or in the way.
**[13:07] ---**
    But I don't want
    to fail because
**[13:09] ---**
    we weren't there
    when we were needed.
**[13:15] ---**
    Besides, if we don't bring down
    this Kaguya,
**[13:18] ---**
    our world is done for.
**[13:20] ---**
    The few of us who are left have
    to do whatever we can…
**[13:25] ---**
    We had our minds made up
    from the very start, right?
**[13:41] ---**
    That we're all ready to die.
**[14:07] ---**
    Nothing seems to work…
**[14:13] ---**
    It's hard to believe.
**[14:15] ---**
    So both your powers and
    Sasuke's are necessary
**[14:18] ---**
    in order to seal away this Kaguya?
**[14:22] ---**
    Yeah!
**[14:23] ---**
    But like I said earlier,
    I can't sense Sasuke at all!
**[14:27] ---**
    The ice…is moving.
**[14:37] ---**
    Over there!
**[15:15] ---**
    *She's merged with Nature!*
**[15:25] ---**
    Naruto!
**[15:30] ---**
    She's finally showing herself.
**[15:35] ---**
    What's happening?
**[15:43] ---**
    *That's a form of Time-Space.*
**[15:50] ---**
    Damn it! It's no good!
**[15:52] ---**
    *Okay… I've made it look*
    *like I'm restrained…*
**[15:56] ---**
    *I'll just wait until she gets closer!*
**[16:01] ---**
    You said you suddenly
    stopped sensing Sasuke?
**[16:04] ---**
    Yeah.
**[16:04] ---**
    I suspect he was taken
    to another dimension.
**[16:09] ---**
    She emerged from
    a different Time-Space.
**[16:12] ---**
    It's similar to
    my own Visual Prowess.
**[16:15] ---**
    Can you enter it?
**[16:19] ---**
    If I resonate my Kamui
**[16:21] ---**
    the next time she connects and opens
    a portal to another Time-Space,
**[16:25] ---**
    I'm positive I can enter it.
**[16:28] ---**
    If Sasuke is there, I can bring him back
    to this dimension.
**[16:32] ---**
    All right!
**[16:33] ---**
    Then I'll go and support
    the real me.
**[16:37] ---**
    However…
**[16:44] ---**
    I'll need an enormous amount
    of chakra to do it…
**[16:46] ---**
    since it's not
    my own Time-Space.
**[16:49] ---**
    If my chakra runs out
    while I'm there, I'm done.
**[16:52] ---**
    Then I'll go with you.
**[16:55] ---**
    The real me won't go down
    that quickly.
**[16:57] ---**
    Because I'm strong.
**[16:59] ---**
    Your Clone Chakra isn't enough.
**[17:06] ---**
    Would it still be inadequate with
    my 100 Healings Chakra?
**[17:10] ---**
    That would give me
    the bare minimum.
**[17:12] ---**
    Both of you, come with me.
**[17:14] ---**
    All right!
**[17:15] ---**
    We don't even know if
    Sasuke is in that Time-Space.
**[17:19] ---**
    But we'll start by getting
    into close range with her.
**[17:22] ---**
    I promise to find Sasuke,
    and deliver him to the real you.
**[17:29] ---**
    Obito.
**[17:30] ---**
    Thanks for rescuing me…
**[17:35] ---**
    And Sasuke too.
**[17:39] ---**
    Don't thank someone like me.
**[17:42] ---**
    Just keep an eye on the enemy.
**[17:49] ---**
    So no more masks, huh?
**[18:01] ---**
    I'm…Kakashi's friend,
    your father's subordinate,
**[18:08] ---**
    I'm an Uchiha just like Sasuke…
**[18:10] ---**
    and…
**[18:12] ---**
    *The Hokage is someone*
    *who endures pain*
**[18:14] ---**
    *and takes the lead*
    *in front of everyone…*
**[18:17] ---**
    *There is no shortcut to*
    *becoming the Hokage!*
**[18:20] ---**
    *There are no ways out for the one*
    *who becomes the Hokage!*
**[18:23] ---**
    *The way he forges ahead*
    *draws others towards him.*
**[18:28] ---**
    *He makes you want to reach out*
    *when he's about to stumble.*
**[18:33] ---**
    I…
**[18:36] ---**
    I am your senior who dreamt
    the same dream as you.
**[18:41] ---**
    I'm not going to waste time
    on a speech,
**[18:44] ---**
    because I'm almost out of time.
**[18:46] ---**
    But…I just ask that you
    let me walk in front of you…
**[18:59] ---**
    and die for you.
**[19:21] ---**
    I'm sorry I'm late.
**[19:22] ---**
    Have you learned anything yet?
**[19:24] ---**
    There's no one here.
**[19:27] ---**
    Just the lower half of Madara's body.
**[19:31] ---**
    Does finding Madara's lower half mean
**[19:34] ---**
    that we should
    consider him dead?
**[19:37] ---**
    I have a bad feeling about this…
**[19:42] ---**
    Either way, it seems he completed
    his Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[19:48] ---**
    And apparently,
    it doesn't affect us dead…
**[19:53] ---**
    How did things go on your end,
    Fourth Hokage?
**[19:57] ---**
    I cut part of the tree
**[19:59] ---**
    to try to free the people
    entrapped in the jutsu,
**[20:03] ---**
    but they didn't awaken.
**[20:07] ---**
    Instead, another branch immediately
    wrapped itself around them.
**[20:12] ---**
    So it was the same for you.
**[20:14] ---**
    In order to verify Madara's status,
    and find out what happened,
**[20:18] ---**
    we should use his lower half
    to revive him with the Reanimation Jutsu.
**[20:23] ---**
    Then we'll make him talk.
**[20:25] ---**
    To do that, we'd need
    a living sacrifice!
**[20:28] ---**
    How can you be
    so naïve at this point?
**[20:31] ---**
    There has to be another way!
**[20:50] ---**
    You truly are a kind soul,
**[20:55] ---**
    previous reincarnate of Ashura.
**[21:00] ---**
    Wh-Who are you?
**[21:03] ---**
    My name is Hagoromo.
**[21:05] ---**
    As the founder of Ninshu,
    the Ninja Creed…
**[21:08] ---**
    I am also known as
    The Sage of the Six Paths.
**[22:48] ---**
    You're The Sage of the Six Paths?
**[22:50] ---**
    In order to save
    Naruto and Sasuke,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    who are battling my mother
    Kaguya right now…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    you must know everything
    that has occurred.
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Before I talk about Ashura and Indra,
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    I must first explain the origin
    of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Ninja Creed"
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    It was some thousands
    of years ago…
    
    
    
**[23:13] ---**
    NINJA CREED
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:14] ---**
    My name is Hagoromo…
**[00:16] ---**
    As the founder of Ninshu,
    the Ninja Creed…
**[00:18] ---**
    I am also known as
    The Sage of the Six Paths.
**[00:22] ---**
    You're The Sage of
    the Six Paths?
**[00:25] ---**
    Indeed I am.
**[00:30] ---**
    Right now, Naruto and
    Sasuke have taken on
**[00:33] ---**
    Ashura and Indra's souls and
    are battling my mother Kaguya…
**[00:38] ---**
    Ashura?
**[00:41] ---**
    You just called me
    the "previous reincarnate"?
**[00:44] ---**
    Yes…
**[00:46] ---**
    Ashura and Indra are my two sons.
**[00:50] ---**
    And Kaguya, the one who's
    fighting right now, is my mother.
**[00:55] ---**
    What?!
**[00:56] ---**
    So Ashura and Indra's souls
    are connected to you too.
**[01:02] ---**
    Their souls have transmigrated
    over and over again.
**[01:05] ---**
    The soul of Ashura was
    previously inside you,
**[01:09] ---**
    and Indra's soul was inside Madara.
**[01:13] ---**
    Inside of me?!
**[01:14] ---**
    Mother took advantage
    of their souls,
**[01:17] ---**
    and after an extraordinary
    length of time,
**[01:19] ---**
    she was resurrected.
**[01:21] ---**
    Right now, I know everything,
**[01:24] ---**
    even the intentions of
    the one called Zetsu,
**[01:27] ---**
    my mother's third son
    who possessed Madara.
**[01:31] ---**
    In order to save
    Naruto and Sasuke,
**[01:33] ---**
    you, too, must know everything
    that has occurred.
**[01:38] ---**
    Before I talk about
    Ashura and Indra,
**[01:41] ---**
    I must first explain the origin
    of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
**[01:47] ---**
    It was a few thousand years ago…
**[01:49] ---**
    My younger brother Hamura and I,
**[01:52] ---**
    sealed our mother Kaguya and
    the Ten Tails in the moon.
**[02:01] ---**
    Hamura went to the moon as well,
    so he could watch over Mother.
**[03:39] ---**
    *Ninshu: The Ninja Creed*
    
    
    
**[03:46] ---**
    Thank you for your help, Gamamaru.
**[03:49] ---**
    Without the Sage Power
    that you taught me,
**[03:51] ---**
    we couldn't have defeated Mother.
**[03:53] ---**
    You insist on leaving, sibling?
**[03:56] ---**
    Yes. There is something I must do.
**[04:00] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[04:02] ---**
    My journey will have two purposes.
**[04:05] ---**
    The first…
**[04:07] ---**
    To find a dwelling place for each
    of the nine Tailed Beasts
**[04:09] ---**
    that I extracted from
    the Ten Tails.
**[04:12] ---**
    I want to make sure
    they don't fight amongst each other…
**[04:15] ---**
    and that people don't use
    their powers for evil.
**[04:18] ---**
    I intend to choose
    their homes very carefully.
**[04:22] ---**
    The second purpose is to
    restore this ravaged land.
**[04:28] ---**
    In our battles against Mother,
**[04:29] ---**
    we caused terrible damage
    to the land.
**[04:33] ---**
    I must atone for this crime.
**[04:37] ---**
    I see.
**[04:39] ---**
    Yes, that might be good to do.
**[04:42] ---**
    But the road ahead will be difficult.
**[04:44] ---**
    I am aware of that.
**[04:46] ---**
    You know,
    I had a dream last night.
**[04:48] ---**
    A dream?
**[04:49] ---**
    Toads rarely dream.
**[04:52] ---**
    When they *do* dream,
    it always comes true.
**[04:55] ---**
    Because a toad's dream
    is destiny.
**[04:57] ---**
    What did you dream?
**[05:00] ---**
    Far into the future,
    a blue-eyed youth will appear,
**[05:04] ---**
    who will amuse himself with
    the names of the nine beasts.
**[05:07] ---**
    I dreamed that
    he will call forth a miracle.
**[05:10] ---**
    Does that mean there will be
    another age of discord?
**[05:13] ---**
    I do not know.
**[05:14] ---**
    Will everything I do from now on,
    be meaningless?
**[05:18] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[05:20] ---**
    Fate is something
    you cannot escape.
**[05:26] ---**
    Go on your way.
**[05:28] ---**
    And if fate wills it,
    our paths shall cross again, sibling.
**[05:33] ---**
    Farewell.
**[06:15] ---**
    I guess this is my first test.
**[06:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[06:31] ---**
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
**[06:33] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[06:36] ---**
    I'm going to fix the bridge.
**[06:37] ---**
    What?
**[06:38] ---**
    Why do something uncalled for?
**[06:42] ---**
    How is it "uncalled for"?
**[06:43] ---**
    The bridge is essential
    to everyone.
**[06:46] ---**
    Everyone needs it.
**[06:48] ---**
    That's why it's a problem
    for me if it's there.
**[06:51] ---**
    Oh… An interesting comment.
**[06:54] ---**
    Listen, because the bridge
    is broken,
**[06:56] ---**
    everyone stops right here.
**[06:58] ---**
    That's where I come in.
**[07:00] ---**
    I go over to the guy
    and take his belongings
**[07:03] ---**
    and offer to help him cross.
**[07:07] ---**
    Then, without a moment's hesitation,
**[07:08] ---**
    I make my getaway
    with his stuff.
**[07:10] ---**
    I may not look fast,
    but these legs never fail me.
**[07:12] ---**
    This is what I do for a living.
**[07:16] ---**
    I see.
**[07:17] ---**
    So you're a thief that uses
    this broken bridge to make a living.
**[07:21] ---**
    That's right.
    So just leave well enough alone.
**[07:25] ---**
    But it only benefits you.
**[07:29] ---**
    It's a hardship for everyone else.
**[07:30] ---**
    Hey! I said leave it alone.
    Do you understand me?
**[07:43] ---**
    Why are you going through
    all that trouble?
**[07:45] ---**
    This is to atone for my sins.
**[07:48] ---**
    So are you a criminal?
**[07:51] ---**
    Something like that.
**[07:56] ---**
    Oh man, I guess can't
    cross the bridge.
**[08:00] ---**
    Mister, you seem to be in a bind.
**[08:03] ---**
    Leave it to me,
**[08:05] ---**
    I'll take you to
    the other side of the river.
**[08:07] ---**
    - Oh!
    - I wouldn't, if I were you.
**[08:09] ---**
    That man's a thief.
**[08:11] ---**
    What?!
**[08:14] ---**
    Don't take me for a fool!
**[08:19] ---**
    Hey, you!
**[08:20] ---**
    Quit messing with my business!
**[08:24] ---**
    I'm not moving until
    I fix this bridge.
**[08:27] ---**
    You should go find
    another bridge.
**[08:30] ---**
    Don't be stupid!
**[08:31] ---**
    Thieves like me have
    our own territory…
**[08:34] ---**
    I can't just go somewhere else.
**[08:36] ---**
    Well then,
    why don't you help me?
**[08:39] ---**
    I'll leave once the bridge
    is finished.
**[08:42] ---**
    Quit messing around!
**[08:44] ---**
    I see.
**[08:46] ---**
    Then there's nothing more to say.
**[08:47] ---**
    You can wait until
    the bridge is fixed.
**[09:13] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:14] ---**
    Fine, I'll just get in his way…
**[09:21] ---**
    That bastard…
**[09:24] ---**
    Just where does that
    brute strength come from?
**[10:23] ---**
    Damn it!
**[10:26] ---**
    Hey! Get it together!
**[10:30] ---**
    We've got to work fast or the logs
    you went to great lengths to gather
**[10:32] ---**
    will just get washed away.
**[10:34] ---**
    Oh…
**[10:34] ---**
    You're going to help me?
**[10:36] ---**
    I just want you to go away
    as soon as possible.
**[10:40] ---**
    And once the bridge is done,
    I'm gonna destroy it.
**[10:44] ---**
    My name is Hagoromo.
**[10:47] ---**
    And I'm Futami.
**[10:48] ---**
    Nice to meet you, Futami.
**[11:06] ---**
    Ouch!
**[11:07] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[11:08] ---**
    Can't you tell?
**[11:10] ---**
    I'm building a bridge!
**[11:11] ---**
    You're a thief, right?
**[11:13] ---**
    Doing that won't make all
    the bad stuff you did go away!
**[11:16] ---**
    Shut up! Get lost, brat!
**[11:23] ---**
    Now, you're just like me.
**[11:25] ---**
    I'm not like you.
**[11:27] ---**
    I'm not doing this
    for atonement.
**[11:30] ---**
    I'm telling you…
**[11:31] ---**
    When it's done,
    I'm gonna destroy it.
**[11:52] ---**
    All that work and we're only
    one-third of the way done…
**[11:55] ---**
    Breaking it apart is easy,
**[11:57] ---**
    but building it back up
    is backbreaking work.
**[12:01] ---**
    Something this sturdy
    won't be easy to break.
**[12:05] ---**
    That's true.
    If we make it too sturdy…
**[12:09] ---**
    you'll break your bones for sure
    when you try to destroy it.
**[12:17] ---**
    Hey you! Don't touch those logs!
**[12:19] ---**
    We're using 'em to fix the bridge!
**[12:22] ---**
    We'll help you.
**[12:24] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:24] ---**
    Since we're going to be
    the ones using the bridge.
**[12:30] ---**
    You gotta be careful.
**[12:32] ---**
    Just grab a smaller one.
**[12:33] ---**
    Okay!
**[12:52] ---**
    It's finished!
    We did it! We did it!
**[12:55] ---**
    The bridge is finished!
**[13:00] ---**
    This is awesome!
**[13:04] ---**
    It's done, eh?
**[13:06] ---**
    A bridge worth the effort to destroy.
**[13:08] ---**
    Are you kidding me?!
**[13:09] ---**
    After all the work we put into it,
    there's no way I'd destroy it.
**[13:16] ---**
    You did a good thing.
**[13:18] ---**
    And it's time for me to move on
    to a new place.
**[13:22] ---**
    Take care of yourself, Futami.
**[13:31] ---**
    Hey, wait up!
**[13:33] ---**
    I'm coming with you!
**[13:35] ---**
    Oh?
**[13:37] ---**
    I thought that bridge
    was where you lived.
**[13:40] ---**
    With an awesome bridge
    like that,
**[13:43] ---**
    my business is shot to hell!
**[13:48] ---**
    When you do a good deed,
**[13:50] ---**
    people are grateful and
    it's a good feeling.
**[13:53] ---**
    And because it feels good,
    you do more good deeds.
**[13:57] ---**
    That's the cycle of goodness.
**[14:00] ---**
    When you put it that way…
    you're right.
**[14:03] ---**
    You have a way with words.
**[14:06] ---**
    By the way,
    I didn't ask you before, but…
**[14:09] ---**
    Who are you anyway?
**[14:15] ---**
    I once wreaked havoc
    upon this world.
**[14:19] ---**
    Several years ago,
    there were many occurrences
**[14:22] ---**
    of giant tsunami and
    volcanic eruptions here and there.
**[14:25] ---**
    Don't tell me you caused them?
**[14:30] ---**
    Come on, there's no way
    one person could've done that!
**[14:33] ---**
    Besides, if you were that strong,
**[14:35] ---**
    you could've fixed that
    bridge in an instant,
**[14:38] ---**
    instead of working and
    sweating so hard.
**[14:41] ---**
    I decided never to use
    excessive power again.
**[14:45] ---**
    Otherwise, I wouldn't be able
    to understand how people feel.
**[14:48] ---**
    Put your hand out.
**[14:56] ---**
    What is this?
**[14:58] ---**
    I feel power surging into me.
**[15:00] ---**
    I just passed my power to you.
**[15:03] ---**
    Power?
**[15:04] ---**
    Yes…
**[15:05] ---**
    Or maybe I should say chakra.
**[15:08] ---**
    It is, so to speak, the power to
    connect people to each other.
**[15:10] ---**
    That's the kind of power
    I want it to be.
**[15:14] ---**
    And you passed it on to me?
**[15:17] ---**
    Yes. But it's not something
    I can give to just anyone.
**[15:21] ---**
    I've come to feel
    very close to you.
**[15:25] ---**
    You have learned
    what a good heart is.
**[15:32] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[15:33] ---**
    Please, make me your apprentice!
**[15:36] ---**
    My apprentice?
**[15:37] ---**
    Yeah!
**[15:39] ---**
    I feel something very special
    in you…
**[15:42] ---**
    I've lived a meaningless life.
**[15:45] ---**
    My entire life's been worthless!
**[15:47] ---**
    But you're different.
**[15:49] ---**
    You're someone who
    can do great things!
**[15:52] ---**
    So…if I stay with you,
**[15:54] ---**
    maybe my insignificant life will
    start to show a little value.
**[15:58] ---**
    So you want to be helpful
    to others now?
**[16:01] ---**
    When we finished that bridge…
**[16:03] ---**
    All those happy people
    and their smiles…
**[16:06] ---**
    I've never been prouder
    in my whole life.
**[16:08] ---**
    I'll never forget the look
    on their faces!
**[16:11] ---**
    I'm positive that that's the bond
    that you spoke of…
**[16:15] ---**
    I mean, Master Hagoromo.
**[16:20] ---**
    You just taught me something
    very important.
**[16:25] ---**
    I think my journey has found
    another important purpose.
**[16:30] ---**
    A third purpose.
**[16:32] ---**
    People bonding through chakra.
**[16:50] ---**
    Mister, hey Mister!
**[16:52] ---**
    You in a bind because
    the bridge is broken?
**[16:55] ---**
    I can help you cross
    to the other side…
**[16:59] ---**
    Hey, you!
**[16:59] ---**
    What are you doing here?!
**[17:01] ---**
    This is my turf!
**[17:04] ---**
    We're going to rebuild this bridge!
**[17:07] ---**
    Huh? What the hell are you saying?
**[17:09] ---**
    Listen up!
**[17:10] ---**
    From today, you're gonna
    become a good person!
**[17:13] ---**
    Did you hit your head
    or something?
**[17:21] ---**
    In time, albeit slowly…
**[17:23] ---**
    I found people who understood
    my way of thinking.
**[17:29] ---**
    And some among them joined me
    on my journey to help people.
**[17:39] ---**
    From around this time,
    I made them my apprentices…
**[17:43] ---**
    and passed on my chakra.
**[17:46] ---**
    I named this bond
    "Ninshu, the Ninja Creed."
**[17:52] ---**
    I trained with my apprentices…
**[17:55] ---**
    and continued to ponder…
**[17:58] ---**
    What is life? What is love?
**[18:03] ---**
    What is power?
**[18:06] ---**
    We believed that someday, this bond
    with people through chakra
**[18:10] ---**
    NINSHU
    
    would lead to world peace.
**[18:14] ---**
    We continued our travels
    for a long time.
**[18:18] ---**
    Restoring places that were
    nearly destroyed for no reason…
**[18:24] ---**
    And when we found a place
    in those areas
**[18:26] ---**
    where we could release
    the Tailed Beasts,
**[18:30] ---**
    we built a shrine for the purpose
    of guarding them.
**[18:38] ---**
    Many of my pupils scattered
    to different regions
**[18:42] ---**
    to repair the land in my place.
**[18:46] ---**
    And in this manner, Ninshu,
**[18:48] ---**
    the Ninja Creed, spread to
    each corner of the world.
**[18:52] ---**
    And later, on my deathbed,
**[18:55] ---**
    I sent the Tailed Beasts that had been
    inside me to their respective lands.
**[18:59] ---**
    Praying that they would be able
    to spend their days in peace…
**[19:06] ---**
    *I will not live much longer…*
**[19:09] ---**
    *Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu,*
    *Son Goku, Kokuo,*
**[19:14] ---**
    *Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and Kurama…*
**[19:18] ---**
    *Even if you are far apart,*
    *you will always be together.*
**[19:22] ---**
    *And eventually,*
**[19:23] ---**
    *there will come a time*
    *when you will be united again.*
**[19:25] ---**
    *Each of you with a unique name…*
**[19:27] ---**
    *and a different form*
    *than before.*
**[19:30] ---**
    *And unlike when*
    *you were inside of me,*
**[19:33] ---**
    *you will be guided down*
    *the right path.*
**[19:35] ---**
    *I hope you learn*
    *what true strength is…*
**[19:39] ---**
    *before that time…*
**[19:48] ---**
    But as you know,
    contrary to my hopes…
**[19:51] ---**
    Throughout this long history,
    men appeared one after another,
**[19:55] ---**
    with the desire to use
    Tailed Beasts for evil purposes…
**[20:00] ---**
    which turned the Tailed Beasts
    against mankind.
**[20:06] ---**
    Anyway, back to my story.
**[20:07] ---**
    We continued our long journey.
**[20:11] ---**
    When at last,
    I fulfilled my three goals,
**[20:14] ---**
    I returned to my village
**[20:18] ---**
    and made it the headquarters
    of Ninshu.
**[20:22] ---**
    I married and fathered two sons.
**[20:28] ---**
    They were Indra and Ashura.
**[20:32] ---**
    Their mother had a difficult recovery
    after giving birth to Ashura…
**[20:37] ---**
    and she passed away
    shortly after.
**[20:39] ---**
    But my two sons grew up
    strong and healthy.
**[20:43] ---**
    They were close siblings.
**[20:46] ---**
    The older one was especially caring
**[20:48] ---**
    and the younger one was always
    chasing after his brother.
**[20:56] ---**
    But at the time, I didn't realize
**[21:01] ---**
    that a dark force
    was already at work
**[21:06] ---**
    trying to manipulate my sons…
**[22:48] ---**
    At the time,
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    my Ninshu did not have
    a practical application for fighting yet.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    My original intent for it was
    to help bring souls together.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    But due to Indra's innovations,
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    the course of Ninshu
    was drastically changed.
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Ashura and Indra"
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    He was one who was worthy
    of being called the "Genius of Ninshu."
    
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    ASHURA AND INDRA
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:41] ---**
    *Ashura and Indra*
    
    
**[02:11] ---**
    Elder Brother! How can you
    read all that stuff?!
**[02:15] ---**
    And Father too…
**[02:17] ---**
    Why does he write so much?
**[02:21] ---**
    It all has to do with Ninshu.
**[02:24] ---**
    Every word means something.
**[02:27] ---**
    I know that, but…
**[02:57] ---**
    That's not it…
**[02:59] ---**
    Like this, maybe?
**[03:01] ---**
    *The two studied together,*
    *and played together.*
**[03:06] ---**
    This one's huge!
**[03:07] ---**
    Ashura! The net!
    Get me the net!
**[03:11] ---**
    Be careful.
**[03:12] ---**
    Go slow and steady!
**[03:15] ---**
    Gotcha!
**[03:18] ---**
    Ashura!
**[03:29] ---**
    Look!
**[03:30] ---**
    I got it, Elder Brother!
**[03:32] ---**
    Damn it. You're so impulsive.
**[03:38] ---**
    You got a bite too!
**[03:40] ---**
    You're right!
**[03:44] ---**
    It might be bigger than yours!
**[04:04] ---**
    Oh, it's just driftwood.
**[04:18] ---**
    Whoa!
**[04:19] ---**
    Amazing! It's a huge fish!
**[04:22] ---**
    Nice one, Ashura!
**[04:24] ---**
    Yeah!
**[04:26] ---**
    But Elder Brother,
**[04:29] ---**
    what did you just do?
**[04:33] ---**
    *At the time,*
**[04:35] ---**
    *Ninshu did not have a practical*
    *application for fighting yet.*
**[04:39] ---**
    *My original intent for it was*
    *to help bring souls together.*
**[04:43] ---**
    *Healthy bodies to sustain*
    *wholesome spirits…*
**[04:47] ---**
    *I didn't feel any need…*
**[04:49] ---**
    *for any martial arts*
    *that went beyond that.*
**[04:55] ---**
    *But due to Indra's innovations,*
**[04:58] ---**
    *the course of Ninshu*
    *was drastically changed.*
**[05:04] ---**
    - Wow!
    - Wow!
**[05:08] ---**
    W-What did you just do, Elder Brother?!
**[05:11] ---**
    When infusing chakra to release power,
**[05:14] ---**
    I noticed that the formation of
    your hands make a difference.
**[05:19] ---**
    I think you can use various powers
**[05:21] ---**
    by the way you shape
    and combine your fingers.
**[05:24] ---**
    Really?
**[05:26] ---**
    So I'm calling the formation
    of your hands "sign"
**[05:28] ---**
    and the manifestation
    of the power "jutsu."
**[05:31] ---**
    Sign and jutsu…
**[05:34] ---**
    That's amazing, Elder Brother!
**[05:38] ---**
    *I inherited powers from*
    *my mother, Kaguya.*
**[05:41] ---**
    *So I don't have to weave*
    *signs to invoke jutsu.*
**[05:45] ---**
    *But this was not the case*
    *for my pupils*
**[05:48] ---**
    *with whom*
    *I shared my chakra.*
**[05:50] ---**
    *When Indra was*
    *merely ten years old,*
**[05:52] ---**
    *he was inventing jutsu*
    *that even I could not do.*
**[05:56] ---**
    *He was one who was worthy*
**[05:57] ---**
    *of being called*
    *the "Genius of Ninshu."*
**[06:07] ---**
    *The invention of jutsu using signs*
**[06:09] ---**
    *changed the foundation*
    *of people's lives.*
**[06:13] ---**
    *It became such that anyone*
    *who trained hard*
**[06:17] ---**
    *would be able to use jutsu.*
**[06:21] ---**
    *But I was a foolish father.*
**[06:25] ---**
    *I did not notice that*
    *the powers of darkness*
**[06:29] ---**
    *that were targeting Indra*
    *were already on the move…*
**[06:42] ---**
    Ashura!
**[06:44] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[06:45] ---**
    Ouch…
**[06:47] ---**
    I'm okay, Elder Brother.
**[06:49] ---**
    When releasing chakra,
    you must be extremely careful.
**[06:52] ---**
    Or you can be seriously hurt.
**[06:55] ---**
    We possess more chakra
    than other people.
**[06:58] ---**
    Sorry.
**[07:06] ---**
    Your invention has transformed
    Ninshu greatly.
**[07:10] ---**
    Yes…
**[07:12] ---**
    But I don't know if
    that was a good thing.
**[07:16] ---**
    Why is that?
**[07:18] ---**
    Training used to be more spiritual.
**[07:21] ---**
    Now it's become focused
    on honing the jutsu itself.
**[07:25] ---**
    In time, it could be used
    as a weapon
**[07:27] ---**
    and create chaos in the world.
**[07:31] ---**
    Your astuteness is
    almost frightening, my son.
**[07:33] ---**
    I didn't realize you had thought
    so deeply about it.
**[07:37] ---**
    Yes…
**[07:38] ---**
    But what will be will be.
**[07:41] ---**
    No one can stop the flow of time.
**[07:44] ---**
    Had you not invented signs,
    someone else would have.
**[07:49] ---**
    If chakra is to become a weapon,
**[07:51] ---**
    then we must train the soul
    even harder to control that chakra.
**[07:58] ---**
    Yes…
**[08:09] ---**
    So it was you…
**[08:12] ---**
    You inherited Mother's powers!
**[08:16] ---**
    Who's there?!
**[08:17] ---**
    Come out!
**[08:19] ---**
    I'll always be watching you.
**[08:30] ---**
    Very impressive, Master Indra!
**[08:33] ---**
    Next up, Master Ashura!
**[08:35] ---**
    Right!
**[08:49] ---**
    Stop there!
**[08:51] ---**
    Are you okay, Ashura?
**[08:54] ---**
    Yeah.
**[08:55] ---**
    You're really strong, Elder Brother.
**[08:58] ---**
    Training's over!
**[09:00] ---**
    I'm going to play with Taizo
    and the others!
**[09:06] ---**
    Good grief…
**[09:09] ---**
    Father, I'm going to go train
    a little more on the hill in the back.
**[09:21] ---**
    It seems Master Indra has
    assumed great command
**[09:23] ---**
    of the powers
    you passed on to him.
**[09:27] ---**
    And that's a good thing.
**[09:29] ---**
    Why is that?
**[09:31] ---**
    Well, if you're to name
    a successor one day,
**[09:34] ---**
    it's customary to select
    the first son.
**[09:37] ---**
    Having a younger son inherit
    could sow the seeds of discontent.
**[09:42] ---**
    No one would object
    to Master Indra,
**[09:44] ---**
    him being the one
    naturally gifted with Ninshu.
**[09:46] ---**
    The future of Ninshu
    is now secure.
**[09:54] ---**
    Hey!
**[09:56] ---**
    You're late, Ashura!
**[09:58] ---**
    Sorry, sorry!
**[10:01] ---**
    I'll have you know that I came
    as soon as I finished with training.
**[10:04] ---**
    Anyway, what's up?
**[10:05] ---**
    Look at this!
**[10:07] ---**
    What is this?
**[10:09] ---**
    Wild boar tracks.
**[10:11] ---**
    A lot of the fields have
    been damaged recently.
**[10:15] ---**
    That's not good.
**[10:17] ---**
    Why don't we go
    and hunt it down?
**[10:21] ---**
    But isn't that dangerous?
**[10:23] ---**
    We should be fine!
**[10:25] ---**
    If worse comes to worst,
    we've got Ashura.
**[10:28] ---**
    You can use your Ninshu
    to bring it down!
**[10:31] ---**
    What?!
**[10:32] ---**
    - That's right!
    - So let's go!
**[10:47] ---**
    Are you there?!
**[10:49] ---**
    I'm so happy that
    you sensed my presence!
**[10:58] ---**
    It's a child…
**[11:00] ---**
    What do you want?
**[11:02] ---**
    Why do you keep following me?
**[11:04] ---**
    You will grow strong.
**[11:06] ---**
    You have the desire, potential,
    and talent for Ninshu.
**[11:10] ---**
    However…
**[11:12] ---**
    You're still not aware
    of your true power.
**[11:15] ---**
    My "true power"?
**[11:16] ---**
    An even greater power
    lies dormant inside you.
**[11:21] ---**
    But there is one condition
    for awakening that power.
**[11:27] ---**
    Who are you?
**[11:29] ---**
    How do you know that?
**[11:31] ---**
    It doesn't matter.
**[11:34] ---**
    If you awaken your power,
**[11:39] ---**
    my wish will come true one day…
**[11:44] ---**
    Well, never mind about that.
**[11:46] ---**
    We were talking about awakening
    your power, weren't we?
**[11:50] ---**
    Do you want to know how?
**[11:52] ---**
    It has nothing to do
    with training, you know.
**[11:58] ---**
    You must lose love…
**[12:01] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[12:03] ---**
    Like having a person you love, die.
**[12:10] ---**
    Let's test it out!
**[12:14] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[12:16] ---**
    Wait!
**[12:21] ---**
    Ashura!
**[12:27] ---**
    Over here!
**[12:28] ---**
    The tracks continue over here!
**[12:38] ---**
    Hey…
**[12:39] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[12:46] ---**
    - There it is!
    - Run!
**[12:48] ---**
    It's coming this way!
**[12:55] ---**
    All right! I'll use that…
**[13:10] ---**
    What's with him anyway?!
**[13:20] ---**
    *That's no ordinary boar.*
**[13:34] ---**
    Ashura! Use Ninshu!
**[13:37] ---**
    Um…um…
**[13:42] ---**
    Watch out, Ashura!
**[13:43] ---**
    Run away!
**[13:51] ---**
    Shiro!
**[14:07] ---**
    Ashura!
**[14:11] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[14:14] ---**
    Hurry, go!
**[14:17] ---**
    How dare you do this
    to my younger brother!
**[14:47] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[14:48] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[14:50] ---**
    Yeah…
**[14:53] ---**
    But Shiro's…
**[14:58] ---**
    Shiro gave his life to protect you.
**[15:01] ---**
    Give him a proper burial.
**[15:03] ---**
    Okay…
**[15:09] ---**
    Brother, your eyes!
**[15:14] ---**
    This is…
**[15:20] ---**
    Elder Brother?
**[15:31] ---**
    I know you're there!
**[15:33] ---**
    What did you do?!
**[15:36] ---**
    Oh nothing.
**[15:38] ---**
    That's your true power.
**[15:41] ---**
    From now on, you'll use
    those eyes to see the truth.
**[15:47] ---**
    See you later!
**[15:54] ---**
    He's gone!
**[16:16] ---**
    Amazing!
**[16:19] ---**
    Ouch!
**[16:21] ---**
    Put everything you've got into it!
**[16:23] ---**
    Y-Yes!
**[16:24] ---**
    Ashura, you too!
**[16:27] ---**
    You can't expect to use
    Ninshu like that!
**[16:30] ---**
    Okay…
**[16:33] ---**
    Sorry.
**[16:36] ---**
    Ever since he awakened
    his Sharingan,
**[16:39] ---**
    Master Indra's progress
    has been phenomenal.
**[16:42] ---**
    He's disciplined and he has
    the right temperament to guide others.
**[16:47] ---**
    He can take over Ninshu anytime.
**[17:01] ---**
    Master Indra is simply amazing.
**[17:05] ---**
    When he glares at you with
    those eyes, I can't even move.
**[17:08] ---**
    He's so young,
    and he's already an instructor.
**[17:10] ---**
    Master Indra's the one who
    invented hand signs and jutsu.
**[17:14] ---**
    But recently he's been too strict.
**[17:17] ---**
    Even earlier, he didn't go easy at all.
**[17:22] ---**
    If Master Indra becomes
    the successor,
**[17:24] ---**
    I don't know if I'd be
    able to follow him.
**[17:26] ---**
    You're right.
**[17:28] ---**
    Sometimes the way Master Indra
    looks at us seems almost hateful.
**[17:33] ---**
    Master Ashura is much easier
    to approach,
**[17:36] ---**
    but he's not skilled at all.
**[17:38] ---**
    Nothing ever goes perfectly, doesn't it?
**[17:40] ---**
    I'll say.
**[17:52] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[17:53] ---**
    Are you going to train
    in the mountains again?
**[17:57] ---**
    Yes, that's my intent.
**[17:59] ---**
    Can I come with you?
**[18:02] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[18:03] ---**
    I want to train alone.
**[18:05] ---**
    With you, I…
**[18:08] ---**
    Yeah, you're right.
**[18:09] ---**
    We're too far apart in skill.
**[18:14] ---**
    E-Elder Brother!
**[18:17] ---**
    Hmm?
**[18:18] ---**
    I… I think you should ease up
**[18:23] ---**
    on the others a bit
    during practice…
**[18:27] ---**
    When you're serious,
    they end up getting hurt.
**[18:32] ---**
    You have a point.
    I'll think about it.
**[18:49] ---**
    Come out, I know you're here.
**[18:53] ---**
    Impressive…
**[18:55] ---**
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
**[18:57] ---**
    I'm not like before.
**[18:59] ---**
    So it seems.
**[19:01] ---**
    Have you gotten used to those eyes?
**[19:05] ---**
    Don't glare at me like that.
**[19:08] ---**
    I wish you'd show me
    some gratitude at least.
**[19:10] ---**
    Why should I be grateful to you?
**[19:13] ---**
    Well…
**[19:15] ---**
    I'm the one who awakened
    those eyes.
**[19:19] ---**
    By the way…
**[19:20] ---**
    Did you see something
    with those eyes?
**[19:22] ---**
    Like the future of Ninshu?
    Or your dreams?
**[19:27] ---**
    You've already sensed it, right?
**[19:30] ---**
    That you're special.
**[19:32] ---**
    That you have the power to
    change the future of Ninshu.
**[19:40] ---**
    You have overwhelming power.
**[19:43] ---**
    You've inherited most
    of Hagoromo's power.
**[19:47] ---**
    Ashura can't hold a candle to you.
**[19:53] ---**
    In time, your power will rival
    that of your father, Hagoromo.
**[19:59] ---**
    No one will be able
    to compete with you…
**[20:08] ---**
    Next!
**[20:12] ---**
    What's the matter?!
**[20:13] ---**
    Isn't anyone willing to face me?
**[20:21] ---**
    Such cowards.
**[20:38] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[20:39] ---**
    Why?!
**[20:40] ---**
    You said you'd think it over!
**[20:43] ---**
    Ashura…
**[20:44] ---**
    You don't have the Sharingan,
    so you won't understand.
**[20:47] ---**
    Power is what rules the world.
**[20:50] ---**
    Power maintains order.
**[20:55] ---**
    In time, I will take over Ninshu
    and fulfill my dream.
**[21:02] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[22:49] ---**
    Hey, did you hear?
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    It seems Master Hagoromo
    is close to choosing
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    a successor for Ninshu!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    It's between Masters Indra
    and Ashura, eh?
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    I wonder who it's going to be?
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    It's plain as day!
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    It's the eldest, Master Indra,
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    who's got the outstanding natural gift
    for Ninshu!
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Tumultuous Journey"
    
    
    
**[23:09] ---**
    From here on, I will decide
    the successor for Ninshu.

    *The Tumultuous Journey*
    
    
    
**[01:49] ---**
    Elder Brother has changed…
**[01:51] ---**
    If he's just strict all the time,
**[01:53] ---**
    I feel like he's going to
    alienate everyone.
**[01:56] ---**
    Oh, there you are!
**[01:58] ---**
    I was looking for you, Ashura!
**[02:00] ---**
    Taizo!
**[02:01] ---**
    Are you done with training today?
**[02:04] ---**
    Well, since Elder Brother's
    going to take over Ninshu,
**[02:07] ---**
    it doesn't matter if I slack off a bit…
**[02:11] ---**
    Hmm… I see.
**[02:13] ---**
    Well, it's less pressure on me!
**[02:15] ---**
    So, what's up?
**[02:17] ---**
    Oh, oh…
**[02:18] ---**
    I need a favor.
**[02:26] ---**
    Can you use Ninshu to knock down
    a few trees around here?
**[02:30] ---**
    Huh? Why?
**[02:32] ---**
    Ah…well...
**[02:35] ---**
    If we clear a path through here,
    we'll have a shortcut to the fields.
**[02:39] ---**
    It will be easier on my mom…
**[02:41] ---**
    …and it's no big deal for you, right?
**[02:44] ---**
    Is that all? Leave it to me!
**[03:17] ---**
    Will this do?
**[03:19] ---**
    Yeah, you've been a big help.
**[03:22] ---**
    This kind of thing is easy.
**[03:33] ---**
    Taizo!
**[03:36] ---**
    Elder Brother!
    What is the meaning of this?
**[03:43] ---**
    This man has committed a crime.
**[03:46] ---**
    He took down the trees, treating them
    as if they were his property.
**[03:49] ---**
    What's in this village
    belongs to everyone.
**[03:52] ---**
    That is the law.
**[03:54] ---**
    You are just as guilty, Ashura.
**[03:56] ---**
    Huh? Me too?
**[03:58] ---**
    You were gullible.
**[04:00] ---**
    This man deceived you and made you
    an accomplice to his crime.
**[04:06] ---**
    Was clearing a path, a lie?
**[04:10] ---**
    My mom was sick and
    needed medicine quickly.
**[04:14] ---**
    I'm sorry I got you involved, Ashura.
**[04:17] ---**
    Why didn't you tell me the truth?
**[04:20] ---**
    I could've used Ninshu if she was sick…
**[04:22] ---**
    Mom hates Ninshu.
**[04:24] ---**
    She says this world
    doesn't need Ninshu…
**[04:28] ---**
    Whether you believe in Ninshu or not,
    a law is a law.
**[04:32] ---**
    Ashura…
**[04:33] ---**
    You didn't know anything about this.
**[04:35] ---**
    So just this once, you will be forgiven.
**[04:40] ---**
    Indra, perhaps you are taking this too far.
**[04:44] ---**
    Everyone makes mistakes.
**[04:47] ---**
    Judging people requires prudence.
**[04:51] ---**
    I know that, Father.
**[04:53] ---**
    However, when a crime is committed,
    proper punishment must be carried out.
**[04:58] ---**
    Only then, will it act as a deterrent
    against future crimes.
**[05:02] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[05:19] ---**
    Ashura!
**[05:21] ---**
    I'll let you out in a moment.
**[05:22] ---**
    But—!
**[05:24] ---**
    It's okay.
**[05:26] ---**
    I'll take full responsibility for this.
**[05:36] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[05:38] ---**
    Ashura, what do you think
    you're doing with that man?
**[05:41] ---**
    Please overlook this, Elder Brother!
**[05:44] ---**
    He didn't do this
    with malicious intent.
**[05:47] ---**
    The law is the law.
**[05:49] ---**
    Haven't you already made
    an example of him?
**[05:53] ---**
    That's not for you to decide.
**[05:58] ---**
    I'll convince my brother somehow.
**[06:00] ---**
    Go now.
**[06:02] ---**
    Thanks, Ashura!
**[06:04] ---**
    If you're going to break the law,
**[06:09] ---**
    you can take the punishment instead.
**[06:15] ---**
    Stop, Elder Brother!
**[06:22] ---**
    Ashura, why do we have laws?
**[06:26] ---**
    What is the purpose
    of Ninshu's power?
**[06:29] ---**
    If you can't answer
    these questions yourself,
**[06:31] ---**
    then you should obey me.
**[06:34] ---**
    Calm yourself!
**[06:40] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[06:45] ---**
    SHIRO
    
**[06:58] ---**
    Father!
**[07:02] ---**
    Today's the day Shiro died.
**[07:04] ---**
    Back then, if Shiro and Elder Brother
    weren't there, I would have died.
**[07:09] ---**
    SHIRO
    
    I'm alive, thanks to everyone's strength.
**[07:13] ---**
    You possess a gentle heart…
**[07:17] ---**
    The complete opposite of Indra.
**[07:20] ---**
    Well, Elder Brother is extraordinary.
**[07:23] ---**
    He can do anything by himself,
    and he has the power to do so.
**[07:27] ---**
    That is precisely why.
**[07:31] ---**
    What do you think of Indra's eyes?
**[07:33] ---**
    What do I think?
**[07:36] ---**
    Well, I do feel a bit intimidated
    by them…
**[07:38] ---**
    *As I thought…*
**[07:40] ---**
    *Indra's Visual Prowess*
    *would not work with Ashura…*
**[07:44] ---**
    Is something the matter?
**[07:47] ---**
    There's something ominous about
    Indra's eyes that even I cannot fathom.
**[07:52] ---**
    Looking into his eyes
    makes me remember…
**[07:55] ---**
    my mother's eyes.
**[07:57] ---**
    Perhaps Elder Brother can see things
    that others cannot see?
**[08:03] ---**
    Such as?
**[08:06] ---**
    Something very advanced.
**[08:08] ---**
    Like the ideal version of Ninshu,
    or the future…
**[08:11] ---**
    I don't know since I don't have
    the Sharingan.
**[08:16] ---**
    But back then,
    when he and Shiro saved me,
**[08:19] ---**
    Elder Brother was very kind.
**[08:21] ---**
    I have faith that Elder Brother's heart
    has not changed from those days.
**[08:26] ---**
    I'll train harder and do my best
**[08:28] ---**
    to become someone that
    Elder Brother can rely on.
**[08:33] ---**
    *At that moment,*
    *I felt I understood for the first time,*
**[08:36] ---**
    *why heaven had blessed me*
    *with two sons.*
**[08:41] ---**
    *That was…*
**[08:45] ---**
    Hey, did you hear?
**[08:47] ---**
    Lord Hagoromo is finally
    going to name his successor.
**[08:51] ---**
    Master Indra or Master Ashura.
    Which will it be?
**[08:56] ---**
    There's no doubt, it's got to be
    the elder one, Master Indra…
**[08:59] ---**
    He excels in Ninshu!
**[09:02] ---**
    And now, I am going to pick
    my successor to Ninshu.
**[09:16] ---**
    Father, what is this?
**[09:19] ---**
    During the battle where
    I sealed away my mother,
**[09:22] ---**
    parts of the Ten Tails were
    scattered throughout the world.
**[09:27] ---**
    We repaired most of the lands
    during our journeys.
**[09:31] ---**
    But in that scroll, it is written
    that there are two regions,
**[09:35] ---**
    which still need to be fixed.
**[09:37] ---**
    Indra, Ashura…
**[09:38] ---**
    You will each go to these lands
**[09:41] ---**
    and settle whatever problem
    has occurred there.
**[09:44] ---**
    And after I see your results,
**[09:45] ---**
    I will decide to whom I will
    entrust Ninshu.
**[09:50] ---**
    L-Lord Hagoromo…
**[09:51] ---**
    Why, Father?!
**[09:53] ---**
    Why are you doing this?
**[09:55] ---**
    I don't have the skill to inherit Ninshu…
**[09:58] ---**
    In fact, I have no desire
    to inherit Ninshu.
**[10:01] ---**
    I'm more than happy
    just helping Elder Brother.
**[10:05] ---**
    That is for me to decide.
**[10:07] ---**
    What will the two of you do
    when you are out in the world?
**[10:11] ---**
    When I see what comes out of that,
    everything will fall into place.
**[10:22] ---**
    Why did Father decide to do this?
**[10:25] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[10:27] ---**
    Father will come to understand quickly.
**[10:29] ---**
    Uh-huh…
**[10:33] ---**
    The younger one seems to have
    matured into a kind and gentle soul.
**[10:37] ---**
    But the older one inherited the power
    of the Sharingan, huh…
**[10:42] ---**
    But out of consideration
    for his older brother,
**[10:45] ---**
    the younger one might
    not return home.
**[10:49] ---**
    I will deal with that
    when the time comes.
**[10:51] ---**
    What is it that you want to test?
**[10:54] ---**
    It's not a test or anything.
**[10:56] ---**
    The eldest excels, but due to his power,
    he does not have faith in love.
**[11:01] ---**
    The younger one doesn't have the skill,
    but overflows with love.
**[11:06] ---**
    Ninshu will come to exert
    enormous influence in this world.
**[11:12] ---**
    In order for Ninshu to take
    the true and proper path…
**[11:16] ---**
    both power and love are necessary.
**[11:20] ---**
    I want my sons to grow
    during their journeys…
**[11:24] ---**
    and learn to nurture Ninshu together.
**[11:33] ---**
    Enough already! Just come out.
**[11:36] ---**
    You knew I was there?
**[11:38] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[11:41] ---**
    Yeah, as you can see!
**[11:43] ---**
    Thanks for what you did back then.
**[11:45] ---**
    Don't mention it.
**[11:47] ---**
    So, what's up?
**[11:49] ---**
    After you helped me, I hid out
    in a shack on the hill in the back.
**[11:53] ---**
    Then Gasuka and Edashi…
**[11:56] ---**
    *Big news!*
    *Ashura is leaving on a journey!*
**[11:59] ---**
    *And that journey will determine who*
    *the successor of Ninshu will be.*
**[12:03] ---**
    After I heard that, I couldn't sit still.
**[12:08] ---**
    Take me with you!
**[12:11] ---**
    But your mom's sick, isn't she?
**[12:14] ---**
    She's okay now.
**[12:15] ---**
    Seems the medicine really worked.
**[12:17] ---**
    She's back to her lively self.
**[12:19] ---**
    So I told her about you,
**[12:21] ---**
    and she said I should go
    and help you.
**[12:23] ---**
    But doesn't your mom hate Ninshu?
**[12:25] ---**
    So why—?
**[12:26] ---**
    That and this are two different things.
**[12:28] ---**
    A man's obligation
    comes before hating Ninshu.
**[12:32] ---**
    But…I won't be coming home
    for a while.
**[12:35] ---**
    What? Really?
**[12:37] ---**
    I'm sure Elder Brother will
    pass this test with flying colors.
**[12:42] ---**
    And if I don't return, Father will choose
    Elder Brother as his successor.
**[12:46] ---**
    I see…
**[12:48] ---**
    That's so like you.
**[12:50] ---**
    So then, where do you intend to go?
**[12:53] ---**
    What should I do?
**[12:55] ---**
    Didn't your dad say
**[12:57] ---**
    there are people struggling
    where you're supposed to go?
**[13:01] ---**
    Wouldn't it be bad if you
    didn't go to help them out?
**[13:03] ---**
    Yeah, that's right.
**[13:05] ---**
    I guess I should just go,
    then figure things out later.
**[13:09] ---**
    Yeah! Let's do that!
**[13:35] ---**
    *Still…*
**[13:37] ---**
    *It's awfully far away!*
**[13:46] ---**
    According to the map,
    we should be getting close.
**[14:00] ---**
    We're in trouble!
    We're out of water.
**[14:03] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[14:04] ---**
    How can I not?
**[14:06] ---**
    You can't do Water Jutsu, can you?
**[14:08] ---**
    No. I can only do Wind Jutsu.
**[14:11] ---**
    Well then…
**[14:13] ---**
    It's near…
    The Divine Tree.
**[14:15] ---**
    Huh?
**[14:16] ---**
    I can sense it with my chakra.
**[14:19] ---**
    Father once told me…
**[14:22] ---**
    Ninshu Chakra got its power
    from the Divine Tree.
**[14:32] ---**
    Hey!
**[14:40] ---**
    Looks like we made it.
**[14:51] ---**
    This is a surprise!
**[14:53] ---**
    To find a place so fertile right in
    the middle of such a barren area.
**[14:57] ---**
    How could a village
    like this be struggling
**[14:59] ---**
    like Lord Hagoromo mentioned?
**[15:02] ---**
    What's up?
**[15:03] ---**
    We're surrounded!
**[15:04] ---**
    What?
**[15:09] ---**
    Who are you?!
**[15:11] ---**
    We're not suspicious characters…
**[15:13] ---**
    We're just travelers.
**[15:14] ---**
    We've had a lot of robbers lately
    who've been targeting our village.
**[15:18] ---**
    We are not robbers.
    Please believe us.
**[15:21] ---**
    Never mind. Get 'em!
**[15:23] ---**
    Taizo, get to the top of the tree!
**[15:28] ---**
    Stop this!
**[15:29] ---**
    I have no intention of fighting!
**[15:30] ---**
    Then leave this village now!
**[15:36] ---**
    Hey, are you all right?!
**[15:39] ---**
    Don't touch me!
**[15:40] ---**
    It's okay!
**[15:42] ---**
    I'll heal you.
**[15:45] ---**
    I just hope it works.
**[15:50] ---**
    That's amazing!
**[15:55] ---**
    What's all this ruckus about?
**[15:57] ---**
    Lord Elder…
**[16:05] ---**
    What a feast!
**[16:07] ---**
    We can really eat all of this?
**[16:10] ---**
    Please don't hesitate, eat.
**[16:12] ---**
    I apologize for
    the rudeness earlier.
**[16:15] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[16:17] ---**
    I must say it's a shock to see such
    a fertile patch in this barren land.
**[16:22] ---**
    This village is special.
**[16:25] ---**
    Special?
**[16:27] ---**
    Anyways, there's nothing much
    to do here…
**[16:30] ---**
    But please have a relaxing stay.
**[16:46] ---**
    You're up early, Ashura.
**[16:48] ---**
    This is a wonderful place.
**[16:50] ---**
    The food and water taste great,
**[16:53] ---**
    and as luck would have it,
    the girl you saved is quite a beauty.
**[16:56] ---**
    There are no issues here.
**[16:58] ---**
    Yes. But I still feel it…
    coming from over there.
**[17:03] ---**
    Feel what?
**[17:05] ---**
    Chakra…
**[17:07] ---**
    And the Divine Tree is there?
**[17:11] ---**
    Probably.
**[17:18] ---**
    Hey, where are you going?
**[17:20] ---**
    I'd like to go to that hill.
**[17:22] ---**
    You can't.
**[17:24] ---**
    The Lord Elder says
    no one is to go near there.
**[17:27] ---**
    Oh, really?
**[17:28] ---**
    Please leave!
**[17:30] ---**
    Let's go, Ashura.
**[17:32] ---**
    Yeah.
**[17:35] ---**
    Something's suspicious.
**[17:37] ---**
    Maybe there is something, after all.
**[17:45] ---**
    Oh!
**[17:46] ---**
    You're the beauty from yesterday.
**[17:49] ---**
    Perfect timing.
**[17:50] ---**
    We're planning on
    staying a bit in this village…
**[17:54] ---**
    So I'm hoping you can
    show us around.
**[17:56] ---**
    This is Ashura and I'm Tai—!
**[18:00] ---**
    I'm Kanna.
**[18:02] ---**
    Are you a doctor?
**[18:03] ---**
    I'm not really a doctor…
**[18:05] ---**
    He knows Ninshu.
**[18:08] ---**
    Ninshu?
**[18:09] ---**
    Oh, I see. So that's what it was…
**[18:11] ---**
    Can you heal illnesses with that too?
**[18:13] ---**
    Illness?
**[18:19] ---**
    Come with me.
**[18:29] ---**
    Where are we?
**[18:30] ---**
    A medical clinic.
**[18:32] ---**
    I want you to cure my mom's illness.
**[18:38] ---**
    Mom…
**[18:42] ---**
    She's been unconscious
    for a long time.
**[18:49] ---**
    *What is this?*
**[18:50] ---**
    *I sense a strong chakra.*
**[18:53] ---**
    *Could this be from the Divine Tree?*
**[19:11] ---**
    It's no good.
**[19:12] ---**
    I can't cure this sickness
    with my power.
**[19:15] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[19:16] ---**
    I see…
**[19:18] ---**
    Are they all like your mother?
**[19:21] ---**
    Yes.
**[19:25] ---**
    Ashura, come here.
**[19:32] ---**
    These are graves, right?
**[19:35] ---**
    No wonder this place
    felt so creepy.
**[19:38] ---**
    This illness caused all these deaths?
**[19:41] ---**
    That's right.
**[19:46] ---**
    I have no choice,
    I have to go.
**[19:55] ---**
    You're—!
**[19:56] ---**
    I'm sorry, but I'm going to
    need you go to sleep.
**[20:03] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[20:04] ---**
    Umm…
**[20:05] ---**
    What were the Visual Prowess
    signs again?
**[20:12] ---**
    This way is much faster.
**[20:36] ---**
    There's a cave here.
**[20:38] ---**
    Let's check it out!
**[20:56] ---**
    What is this place?
**[20:57] ---**
    I didn't image it would
    be like this inside!
**[21:00] ---**
    I've heard legends about
    the Divine Tree, but…
**[21:04] ---**
    This is—!
**[21:08] ---**
    There's no doubt…
**[21:10] ---**
    This is the Divine Tree.
**[22:49] ---**
    That tree is the ruin of the specter
    that almost destroyed our world.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    I've been ordered to
    do something about it.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    The power of the Divine Tree is
    indeed making this land abundant,
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    but it's also affecting
    the villagers adversely.
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Ashura's Decision"
    
    
    
**[23:09] ---**
    At any rate, I have to—!
    
    
    
**[23:11] ---**
    ASHURA'S DECISION
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:12] ---**
    My chakra is reacting strongly.
**[00:20] ---**
    What's that?
**[00:21] ---**
    It's what was growing on
    the sick people.
**[00:26] ---**
    I see!
**[00:27] ---**
    The sap from the Divine Tree's
    seeped into the soil.
**[00:30] ---**
    The sap acts like a fertilizer,
**[00:33] ---**
    making this area a lush oasis in
    the middle of such a barren region.
**[00:37] ---**
    The power of the Divine Tree
    is making the land fertile?
**[00:41] ---**
    So…is the Divine Tree
    getting its power back?
**[00:45] ---**
    No, it hasn't completely revived…
**[00:48] ---**
    But it probably will eventually.
**[00:52] ---**
    But the real problem is…
**[00:56] ---**
    Is what?
**[00:57] ---**
    The people are becoming
    contaminated first.
**[01:01] ---**
    Contaminated?!
**[01:03] ---**
    The people and animals eat
    the produce grown on this land,
**[01:05] ---**
    which accumulates
    the sap of the Divine Tree.
**[01:09] ---**
    So does that mean…
**[01:10] ---**
    If you eat the food here,
    you're gonna get sick?
**[01:14] ---**
    Probably.
**[01:16] ---**
    But I ate so much yesterday!
**[01:19] ---**
    It's all right. My jutsu can
    take care of a small amount…
**[01:24] ---**
    But if you keep ingesting and
    accumulating it for many years…
**[01:28] ---**
    Since the Village Elder ordered
    for this place to be under watch,
**[01:33] ---**
    does that means
    he knows everything?
**[01:37] ---**
    So it seems.
**[03:10] ---**
    *Ashura's Decision*
    
    
**[03:14] ---**
    I see…
    You saw the Divine Tree.
**[03:17] ---**
    Yes.
**[03:18] ---**
    Traveler, why do you keep digging
    for our village secrets?
**[03:24] ---**
    Forgive me.
**[03:26] ---**
    I'm from the Village of Ninshu
    and was told to come here.
**[03:30] ---**
    Ninshu?
**[03:32] ---**
    The Ninshu that destroyed
    the land 20 years ago…
**[03:36] ---**
    You are a pupil?
**[03:38] ---**
    Yes.
**[03:39] ---**
    That tree is the ruin of the specter
    that almost destroyed our world.
**[03:44] ---**
    That is why it's so powerful.
**[03:47] ---**
    I've been ordered to do
    something about it.
**[03:52] ---**
    Lord Elder, to be blunt,
    that tree is a narcotic.
**[03:56] ---**
    The power of the Divine Tree is
    indeed making this land abundant,
**[03:59] ---**
    but it's also affecting
    the villagers adversely.
**[04:04] ---**
    At this rate…
**[04:07] ---**
    Traveler,
    I am already aware of that.
**[04:12] ---**
    But I cannot authorize
    that tree's destruction.
**[04:15] ---**
    Why is that?
**[04:17] ---**
    That tree started to grow powerfully
    several decades ago.
**[04:23] ---**
    Until then,
    this was arid and barren land.
**[04:27] ---**
    We had terrible droughts
    nearly every year.
**[04:31] ---**
    I've lost count of how many
    died of starvation.
**[04:35] ---**
    Why don't you try digging a well?
**[04:37] ---**
    It was futile…
**[04:39] ---**
    "Was"?
**[04:40] ---**
    We tried ages ago.
**[04:43] ---**
    One could dig for years,
**[04:45] ---**
    only to hit the solid bedrock
    that runs across this land.
**[04:50] ---**
    If we cut down that tree now,
    what will happen to us?
**[04:55] ---**
    I cannot tell the villagers
**[04:57] ---**
    that we will be returning to
    those days of hunger and suffering.
**[05:01] ---**
    Besides, even if I told them the truth,
    the villagers will not believe me.
**[05:07] ---**
    Traveler, do not get involved
    any further…
**[05:12] ---**
    It would be best if you leave
    as soon as possible.
**[05:18] ---**
    Kanna, how do you feel?
**[05:22] ---**
    About what?
**[05:23] ---**
    In time, you will become infected
    by the Divine Tree.
**[05:27] ---**
    And?
    We have no other choice!
**[05:30] ---**
    There's nowhere else for us to go!
**[05:34] ---**
    We just have to endure
    and live with it.
**[05:39] ---**
    Please listen, everyone!
**[05:41] ---**
    Do you know the truth
    behind the Divine Tree?
**[05:45] ---**
    Hey, Ashura!
**[05:47] ---**
    The Divine Tree is
    the ruins of a specter.
**[05:49] ---**
    The Divine Tree is the cause
**[05:51] ---**
    of the illness afflicting
    the people at the clinic.
**[05:54] ---**
    If you continue to rely on
    the power of the Divine Tree,
**[05:56] ---**
    you will all fall victim
    to the same illness!
**[06:00] ---**
    Are you okay with that?!
**[06:03] ---**
    Everyone!
**[06:04] ---**
    Don't listen to this guy!
**[06:06] ---**
    These two came from
    the Village of Ninshu!
**[06:09] ---**
    They ravaged the world,
**[06:11] ---**
    and now, they want to take
    the Divine Tree from us!
**[06:14] ---**
    We can't let them do that!
**[06:16] ---**
    Get out of here!
**[06:17] ---**
    What do you think would happen to us
    if the Divine Tree was gone?!
**[06:20] ---**
    Get lost!
**[06:21] ---**
    Ashura, let's get out of here!
**[06:33] ---**
    I hope Masters Indra and Ashura
    are all right.
**[06:38] ---**
    Brother, what kind of places
    did you send those two?
**[06:43] ---**
    Simply put, villages burdened
    with the same problem.
**[06:47] ---**
    I want to know how they resolve it.
**[06:53] ---**
    I see…
**[06:55] ---**
    Be honest, have you already decided
    which one will succeed you?
**[06:58] ---**
    No, I haven't decided.
**[07:01] ---**
    Indra's abilities
    are extraordinary,
**[07:03] ---**
    but he is too quick to try to
    resolve everything by himself.
**[07:07] ---**
    Ashura is truly kind towards people,
    but hesitates to take the lead.
**[07:13] ---**
    If this trip helps them mature
    and learn to support each other,
**[07:18] ---**
    I would have no complaints.
**[07:20] ---**
    Gamamaru,
    have you had a new dream?
**[07:24] ---**
    About their futures?
**[07:26] ---**
    If I did have a dream,
    would you want me to tell you?
**[07:29] ---**
    That would be cheating.
**[07:31] ---**
    You must name your successor
    by yourself.
**[07:38] ---**
    Well then, I guess I'll be leaving.
**[07:41] ---**
    Gamamaru, I hope you're
    not planning on visiting them…
**[07:47] ---**
    Don't interfere.
**[07:50] ---**
    I won't!
**[08:10] ---**
    I doubt you all will ever
    be able to reach a decision.
**[08:23] ---**
    Come on Ashura, let's go.
**[08:26] ---**
    Let's just go and have
    a carefree journey.
**[08:29] ---**
    Uh-huh…
**[08:32] ---**
    If you're that concerned, just sneak
    over there and destroy the tree.
**[08:36] ---**
    You have the power to do that,
    don't you?
**[08:38] ---**
    But then, the villagers will…
**[08:42] ---**
    They'll suffer sure,
    but they're going to die eventually.
**[08:46] ---**
    Oh yeah…
**[08:47] ---**
    Father didn't say to destroy
    the Divine Tree.
**[08:51] ---**
    Huh?
**[08:53] ---**
    *Indra… Ashura…*
**[08:54] ---**
    *You will each go to these lands*
**[08:56] ---**
    *and settle whatever problem*
    *has occurred there.*
**[09:01] ---**
    Father said to resolve the problem.
**[09:04] ---**
    Hey, hey… I hope you're
    not getting any weird ideas.
**[09:09] ---**
    To resolve the problem…
**[09:11] ---**
    There's no other way
    but to dig a well.
**[09:13] ---**
    Are you serious?
    You heard the old man.
**[09:16] ---**
    There's solid bedrock and
    you can't dig a well.
**[09:19] ---**
    Yes… But that time, Father said…
**[09:23] ---**
    *The power of Ninshu,*
    *which you have inherited…*
**[09:27] ---**
    *There is no handbook for its use.*
    *Only you can decide how to use it.*
**[09:36] ---**
    *It's up to us…*
**[09:38] ---**
    I've decided.
**[09:39] ---**
    I'm going to do
    what I believe is right!
**[09:41] ---**
    Huh?
**[09:44] ---**
    Even if it takes me years!
**[09:47] ---**
    It's Master Indra!
**[09:52] ---**
    Master Indra has returned!
**[09:54] ---**
    Leave it to Master Indra!
    He's back already?
**[09:59] ---**
    I'm glad to see you well.
**[10:01] ---**
    Where is Ashura?
**[10:02] ---**
    He's not back yet.
**[10:05] ---**
    I see…
**[10:19] ---**
    Is that—?
    Don't tell me he's—?!
**[10:33] ---**
    Ashura!
**[10:34] ---**
    Oh, Kanna!
**[10:36] ---**
    What are you doing?!
**[10:37] ---**
    Can't you tell?
**[10:39] ---**
    I'm digging a well.
**[10:44] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[10:45] ---**
    Yes.
**[10:46] ---**
    If you have water, you won't have to
    rely on the Divine Tree.
**[10:50] ---**
    That's impossible.
**[10:51] ---**
    The villagers have tried
    digging for years.
**[10:54] ---**
    And they've never found water.
**[10:57] ---**
    I already told him that.
**[10:58] ---**
    But once he gets an idea,
    he just won't listen.
**[11:02] ---**
    It doesn't matter whether
    it's possible or not.
**[11:05] ---**
    I've decided to do it.
**[11:07] ---**
    See you, Kanna.
**[11:13] ---**
    Are you two…stupid?
**[11:16] ---**
    I might be…
    But he definitely is.
**[11:28] ---**
    *Even if it takes years,*
    *I'll make it happen.*
**[11:45] ---**
    I've returned.
**[11:47] ---**
    Welcome back.
    How did it go?
**[11:51] ---**
    I did exactly as I was told.
**[11:55] ---**
    Were there any problems?
**[11:57] ---**
    No.
    Peace has returned to the village.
**[12:01] ---**
    Lord Hagoromo…
**[12:02] ---**
    Master Indra has returned first.
**[12:05] ---**
    Which means the successor
    of Ninshu is…
**[12:09] ---**
    No, I'm not interested in
    how fast things were resolved.
**[12:14] ---**
    I will wait for Ashura to return.
**[12:17] ---**
    Then I will decide.
**[12:19] ---**
    Is that all right, Indra?
**[12:21] ---**
    Yes.
**[12:34] ---**
    *It's been awhile, Indra.*
**[12:37] ---**
    *Oh?*
    *You're in a bad mood.*
**[12:40] ---**
    *Didn't you come to see me?*
**[12:44] ---**
    I'm aware of everything, you know.
**[12:46] ---**
    You did exactly as Hagoromo wished.
    But he's still not satisfied.
**[12:53] ---**
    The future Hagoromo envisions for
    Ninshu is not the future you envision…
**[13:13] ---**
    You've improved.
**[13:15] ---**
    No matter what happens,
    the two of us will follow you, Indra.
**[13:20] ---**
    I will remember your words.
**[13:26] ---**
    Lord Hagoromo…
**[13:28] ---**
    It's been one year since Master Ashura
    set out on his journey.
**[13:31] ---**
    But he still hasn't returned.
**[13:35] ---**
    Your pupils are becoming restless.
**[13:37] ---**
    Perhaps, you should
    decide on a successor…
**[13:40] ---**
    I realize that.
**[13:42] ---**
    No one will object to Master Indra.
**[13:46] ---**
    Why do you insist on waiting
    for Master Ashura?
**[13:49] ---**
    Don't worry.
    Ashura will return soon.
**[13:55] ---**
    Lord Hagoromo!
**[13:56] ---**
    What's going on?
**[13:59] ---**
    Master Indra!
**[14:01] ---**
    Master Ashura has returned!
**[14:10] ---**
    Hey!
**[14:12] ---**
    It's not just Master Ashura!
    There are so many with him!
**[14:16] ---**
    I recognize Taizo,
    but who are the others?
**[14:20] ---**
    So he's back.
**[14:22] ---**
    You are astute about your own sons.
**[14:27] ---**
    I think this water jar
    has seen its day.
**[14:33] ---**
    My, my, it took a long time.
**[14:36] ---**
    The younger one is very clumsy…
**[14:39] ---**
    But his tenacity
    is quite something.
**[14:41] ---**
    I told you to mind
    your own business.
**[14:45] ---**
    I didn't do anything.
**[14:46] ---**
    I just watched, that's all.
**[14:49] ---**
    But I want to let you in
    on something.
**[14:54] ---**
    About the village Indra went to.
**[14:58] ---**
    Welcome back.
**[15:00] ---**
    It's great to be home.
    Have you been well?
**[15:02] ---**
    Yes. I'm glad you're well too,
    Master Ashura.
**[15:06] ---**
    Please go and see Lord Hagoromo.
**[15:08] ---**
    What? Didn't he decide on
    Elder Brother already?
**[15:12] ---**
    Is Father still?
**[15:15] ---**
    He's been waiting all this time
    for your return, Master Ashura.
**[15:19] ---**
    I see…
**[15:38] ---**
    Father, I've returned.
**[15:42] ---**
    You've become very dignified,
    Ashura.
**[15:45] ---**
    We got tired waiting for you…
**[15:47] ---**
    Forgive me Elder Brother.
**[15:49] ---**
    With the level of my strength,
**[15:51] ---**
    I needed much longer to resolve
    the problem in the village.
**[15:55] ---**
    Who are those people?
**[15:57] ---**
    Oh, yes.
**[15:58] ---**
    These are some of the villagers.
**[16:00] ---**
    They all helped me.
**[16:03] ---**
    And are now valuable friends.
**[16:05] ---**
    We heard about this village,
    and we wanted to see it,
**[16:09] ---**
    so we accompanied Master Ashura.
**[16:12] ---**
    I see.
    Welcome, good of you to come.
**[16:14] ---**
    Ashura, let me hear your story.
**[16:17] ---**
    The village I went to relied on
    the Divine Tree's water source.
**[16:22] ---**
    So I decided to dig a well.
**[16:27] ---**
    Ashura! Are you seriously
    digging a well?
**[16:31] ---**
    It's what I've decided.
**[17:17] ---**
    What the hell?
    Are they back to throw rocks at us?
**[17:22] ---**
    Wait.
**[17:38] ---**
    You guys…
**[17:40] ---**
    We'll help you.
**[17:43] ---**
    We want to do it because
    it's for our village.
**[17:46] ---**
    If you can,
    could you teach us Ninshu too?
**[17:51] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[18:28] ---**
    Everyone, please be quiet!
**[18:35] ---**
    What's the matter, Ashura?
**[18:38] ---**
    Can you hear it?
**[18:40] ---**
    That sound…
**[19:09] ---**
    It's water!
**[19:11] ---**
    – What is it?
    – What happened?
**[19:21] ---**
    This is—!
**[19:23] ---**
    – Water!
    – We hit water!
**[19:26] ---**
    – We did it!
    – We did it!
**[19:27] ---**
    You did it, Ashura!
**[19:29] ---**
    We did it!
**[19:31] ---**
    We did it!
**[20:09] ---**
    Mom…
**[20:15] ---**
    Kanna.
**[20:17] ---**
    Mom!
**[20:34] ---**
    We are finally free from the curse.
**[20:46] ---**
    I see…
**[20:47] ---**
    So the Ninshu that you spread
    has saved many people.
**[20:51] ---**
    Yes!
**[20:56] ---**
    I will now name
    the successor to Ninshu.
**[21:02] ---**
    The one who shall
    take over Ninshu shall be…
**[22:48] ---**
    Bonds allow people to share
    in each other's joy and sorrow.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    In the beginning, bonds overflow
    with love and emotion.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    As long as there are bonds,
    Ninshu will not be used for evil.
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    But power without bonds will surely
    bring calamity to this world.
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    The Successor
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    From here on out,
    I entrust my power to you.
    
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    THE SUCCESSOR
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:12] ---**
    I will now name
    the successor to Ninshu.
**[00:18] ---**
    The one who shall take over
    Ninshu will be…
**[00:25] ---**
    Ashura!
**[00:31] ---**
    L-Lord Hagoromo!
**[00:33] ---**
    Why?!
**[00:34] ---**
    I have nowhere near the skills for
    Ninshu that Elder Brother has!
**[00:36] ---**
    The difference is immeasurable!
**[00:37] ---**
    I've made my decision.
**[00:40] ---**
    Please tell me why you were
    dissatisfied with me.
**[00:45] ---**
    I received word that the village
    I had left you in charge of
**[00:48] ---**
    is near destruction.
**[00:51] ---**
    What? How?!
**[00:53] ---**
    You didn't forcibly use
    the Divine Tree to…
**[00:56] ---**
    Do I look like a fool?
**[01:01] ---**
    Tell me what you did.
**[01:03] ---**
    I did the same thing Ashura did.
**[01:06] ---**
    I gave the people the water
    they desired…
**[01:09] ---**
    and dealt with the Divine Tree.
**[01:11] ---**
    The only difference was that…
**[01:13] ---**
    I did it alone.
**[01:16] ---**
    And that drastically affected the result.
**[01:20] ---**
    After you left,
**[01:21] ---**
    the villagers fought over water rights
    and ended up destroying themselves.
**[01:26] ---**
    Happiness obtained with
    the easy way never lasts long.
**[01:31] ---**
    But Ashura labored alongside
    the people to open up a path.
**[01:35] ---**
    Hard-earned happiness
    is difficult to destroy.
**[01:42] ---**
    Indra, you have a wonderful power
    known as the Sharingan.
**[01:47] ---**
    Ashura has matured,
    but still lacks in power.
**[01:51] ---**
    Lend him your power going forward
    and support the growth of Ninshu.
**[02:15] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[03:47] ---**
    *The Successor*
    
    
**[03:59] ---**
    Why?
**[04:01] ---**
    Why didn't he choose me?
**[04:04] ---**
    Exactly!
**[04:05] ---**
    The one with power rules the world!
    That's just common sense!
**[04:08] ---**
    Indra has the power
    to decide everything!
**[04:12] ---**
    Let's appeal to
    Lord Hagoromo again.
**[04:15] ---**
    We'll support you!
**[04:18] ---**
    Thanks, both of you.
**[04:21] ---**
    No need for thanks.
    We just want to support you.
**[04:25] ---**
    Yes, just tell us anything
    that you want us to do!
**[04:29] ---**
    Really?
**[04:36] ---**
    This is amazing!
**[04:39] ---**
    I've never seen such a feast!
**[04:41] ---**
    Today is the auspicious day
    the successor of Ninshu was chosen!
**[04:45] ---**
    Everyone, eat and enjoy
    to your heart's content!
**[04:49] ---**
    Let's eat, everyone!
**[05:01] ---**
    I think we came at a bad time.
**[05:05] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[05:09] ---**
    To be honest, I'm relieved.
**[05:12] ---**
    That Ashura was chosen
    to be the successor.
**[05:15] ---**
    Ashura's big brother is smart
    and he's a genius with Ninshu,
**[05:20] ---**
    but there's a coldness to him.
**[05:23] ---**
    If he was named successor,
    I think we'd all be scared of him.
**[05:29] ---**
    I see.
**[05:31] ---**
    But Ashura understands a person's pain.
**[05:35] ---**
    He's a bit dense, but this last journey
    really matured him.
**[05:40] ---**
    Enough to make *you*
    fall in love with him
**[05:42] ---**
    and follow him all the way here.
**[05:43] ---**
    W-What're you saying?!
**[05:45] ---**
    You're blushing.
**[05:47] ---**
    You idiot!
**[05:48] ---**
    Ouch!
**[05:50] ---**
    Really…
**[05:52] ---**
    Hey, where is Ashura anyway?
**[06:08] ---**
    Ashura…
**[06:13] ---**
    You're not satisfied?
**[06:15] ---**
    Yes.
**[06:18] ---**
    Indra has changed…
**[06:21] ---**
    It's because of the Sharingan.
**[06:23] ---**
    Sharingan?
**[06:25] ---**
    Everyone who sees Sharingan is
    overwhelmed by its power.
**[06:30] ---**
    And that happened
    way before Indra realized it.
**[06:35] ---**
    That's how powerful
    Indra's Sharingan is.
**[06:42] ---**
    That power stopped Indra from
    understanding how others feel…
**[06:47] ---**
    And in the end, it closed his heart.
**[06:53] ---**
    But you are different.
**[06:57] ---**
    You understand the human heart.
**[07:00] ---**
    That is why you enhanced
    Ninshu with love.
**[07:03] ---**
    And that nurtured trust among people,
    created bonds and friendship.
**[07:08] ---**
    Friendship?
**[07:10] ---**
    A bond is only created after
    sharing hardship together.
**[07:16] ---**
    A bond overflows with love
    and compassion.
**[07:19] ---**
    As long as there are bonds,
    Ninshu will not be used for evil.
**[07:24] ---**
    However, power without bonds will
    bring about calamity in the world.
**[07:31] ---**
    Ashura…
**[07:33] ---**
    Join forces with your brother and
    spread the bonds of Ninshu.
**[07:40] ---**
    Father…
**[07:42] ---**
    From this moment onward,
    I entrust my power to you.
**[07:50] ---**
    Ashura!
**[07:52] ---**
    Where did he go?
**[08:04] ---**
    What is that?!
**[08:24] ---**
    W-What is it?
**[08:32] ---**
    Kanna! Are you all right?
**[08:34] ---**
    Yes…
**[08:36] ---**
    What just happened?
**[08:46] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[08:52] ---**
    Indra…
**[08:54] ---**
    What is the meaning of this?
**[08:56] ---**
    Why?
**[08:57] ---**
    Why didn't you choose me
    as your successor?
**[09:01] ---**
    It isn't power that
    controls Ninshu, but love.
**[09:04] ---**
    That is what I have decided.
**[09:06] ---**
    Love?
    There is no need for love!
**[09:09] ---**
    During my journey,
**[09:11] ---**
    like Ashura,
    I searched for the villagers' pain.
**[09:16] ---**
    But ultimately, the villagers
    ended up relying on my power.
**[09:21] ---**
    The weak revered me as their king
    and wanted my power.
**[09:25] ---**
    Ashura was lacking.
**[09:27] ---**
    That is why he found it necessary
    to get the cooperation of others.
**[09:32] ---**
    But I'm different!
**[09:34] ---**
    I don't need the help of the weak.
**[09:37] ---**
    I can use my power
    and I can establish total order!
**[09:42] ---**
    A world completely
    devoid of conflict!
**[09:46] ---**
    That's just like my mother, Kaguya…
**[09:49] ---**
    Especially those with power,
    must never forget the human heart.
**[09:56] ---**
    People cannot progress
    as swiftly as you can.
**[09:59] ---**
    Those who cannot walk
    at the same pace
**[10:02] ---**
    can only fear power
    that has no bond.
**[10:05] ---**
    People will not support
    governance through fear.
**[10:09] ---**
    Then I shall force them to obey.
**[10:12] ---**
    Please stop, Elder Brother!
**[10:14] ---**
    You would have given
    your life to protect me.
**[10:16] ---**
    That's how kind you once were!
**[10:18] ---**
    Ashura…
    I am no longer that man.
**[10:23] ---**
    I cannot return to being him.
**[10:26] ---**
    Indra…
**[10:27] ---**
    Your eyes!
**[10:32] ---**
    *We just want to support you.*
**[10:35] ---**
    *Yes, just tell us anything*
    *that you want us to do!*
**[10:38] ---**
    *Really?*
    *Thank you, both of you.*
**[10:50] ---**
    *Indra… Why?!*
**[10:56] ---**
    *Forgive me…*
**[11:04] ---**
    *Whenever I lose the ones*
    *closest and dear to me…*
**[11:07] ---**
    *my Sharingan evolves.*
**[11:14] ---**
    Indra!
    So you've stooped that low…
**[11:17] ---**
    Please stop!
    I don't want to fight you, Elder Brother!
**[11:21] ---**
    Oh…fight me?
**[11:24] ---**
    You've become quite brave, Ashura!
**[11:27] ---**
    You really think
    you can take me on?
**[11:49] ---**
    What?!
**[12:09] ---**
    A-Amazing!
**[12:10] ---**
    That's the result of his training!
**[12:32] ---**
    You've become quite brave, Ashura!
**[12:35] ---**
    But it's not enough to beat me!
**[13:04] ---**
    Here I come.
**[13:13] ---**
    *This* is power!
**[13:39] ---**
    Ashura?!
**[14:07] ---**
    Father!
    Everyone!
**[14:09] ---**
    Everyone!
    Join forces!
**[14:19] ---**
    You have the audacity
    to point your blade at me?
**[14:33] ---**
    The powerless can band together,
    but it means nothing.
**[14:39] ---**
    Father, let me perform the last rites
    for your fragile ideals!
**[14:47] ---**
    It's over!
**[14:48] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[15:09] ---**
    This is…
**[15:10] ---**
    The power of the Six Paths!
**[15:13] ---**
    You inherited it?
**[15:16] ---**
    Ridiculous!
**[15:29] ---**
    Everyone, lend Ashura your power!
**[15:56] ---**
    Father!
**[15:57] ---**
    Ashura, chakra is a power that
    can link the hearts of many!
**[16:05] ---**
    Everyone!
**[16:12] ---**
    *I feel it…I can feel…*
    *everyone's…*
**[16:15] ---**
    …power!
**[16:25] ---**
    What?!
**[16:39] ---**
    What is this?
**[16:43] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[16:45] ---**
    Ashura!
**[16:50] ---**
    This is…
**[16:51] ---**
    …the power of our bond!
**[17:15] ---**
    Elder Brother!
**[17:16] ---**
    Stay away!
**[17:21] ---**
    Ashura…
**[17:23] ---**
    I will never…
**[17:26] ---**
    acknowledge Ninshu…or you!
**[17:33] ---**
    Elder Brother…
**[17:37] ---**
    *Soon after that,*
**[17:38] ---**
    *I heard rumors that Indra established*
    *a sect of Ninjutsu that idealized power.*
**[17:45] ---**
    *I recorded the misfortune that*
    *the Sharingan brings about*
**[17:47] ---**
    *in the stone tablet.*
**[17:49] ---**
    *However, Zetsu took advantage of it*
**[17:52] ---**
    *and seems to have*
    *been a total waste.*
**[18:00] ---**
    Ashura…
**[18:01] ---**
    It seems my time in this world
    is coming to an end.
**[18:06] ---**
    Father!
**[18:07] ---**
    - Father!
    - Grandpa!
**[18:11] ---**
    I was not able to guide
    this world well…
**[18:17] ---**
    That's not true!
**[18:18] ---**
    We'll pass on your will to many,
    many people through Ninshu, Father!
**[18:23] ---**
    But I leave behind some who will not…
**[18:28] ---**
    Indra came by last night.
**[18:42] ---**
    *Is that you, Indra?*
**[18:48] ---**
    *Have you come to kill me?*
**[18:52] ---**
    *There's no need for me*
    *to do that anymore.*
**[18:55] ---**
    *I came here*
**[18:56] ---**
    *to end the future*
    *of this hell disguised as Ninshu.*
**[19:01] ---**
    *You have always feared*
    *the power of my grandmother.*
**[19:05] ---**
    *And instead of trying to*
    *understand this enormous power,*
**[19:09] ---**
    *you merely ran from it…*
**[19:11] ---**
    *using love and bonds as a shield.*
**[19:15] ---**
    *Your selfish misconception*
    *will mar the future of Ninshu*
**[19:19] ---**
    *with wars and calamities.*
**[19:22] ---**
    *Until I destroy Ashura*
    *and his brethren,*
**[19:25] ---**
    *and wipe out Ninshu from*
    *the face of this world,*
**[19:28] ---**
    *I have no intention of*
    *ever stopping my fight.*
**[19:31] ---**
    *Until I accomplish this,*
**[19:34] ---**
    *my soul will reincarnate and fight,*
    *however long it takes!*
**[19:45] ---**
    Forgive me.
**[19:47] ---**
    Father, please be at peace.
**[19:50] ---**
    If Elder Brother's soul will reincarnate
    over and over again, so shall mine.
**[19:58] ---**
    Ashura…
    I entrust the future of this world…
**[20:01] ---**
    …to you and your descendants…
**[20:07] ---**
    Father!
**[20:08] ---**
    Lord Hagoromo!
**[20:09] ---**
    - Father!
    - Grandpa!
**[20:14] ---**
    *And as Indra warned,*
**[20:17] ---**
    *the battle between them waged on,*
**[20:20] ---**
    *never-ending,*
    *over and over again.*
**[20:27] ---**
    *These battles took the lives of many*
    *comrades and kin on both sides.*
**[20:31] ---**
    *Hate begat hate,*
    *and it reached a point of no return.*
**[20:36] ---**
    *The fighting continued even after*
    *Ashura and Indra died*
**[20:40] ---**
    *to the numerous reincarnates*
    *of their souls.*
**[20:45] ---**
    *To you, Senju Hashirama,*
    *and Madara Uchiha…*
**[20:50] ---**
    *and now, to Naruto Uzumaki*
    *and Sasuke Uchiha.*
**[20:56] ---**
    Everyone…
**[20:58] ---**
    You must do everything in your power
    to save Naruto and Sasuke.
**[21:01] ---**
    I have implicit faith
**[21:04] ---**
    that these two will find
    the true solution
**[21:08] ---**
    to this fate of the shinobi
    that has continued for so long.
**[22:49] ---**
    There's only one S-rank mission
    that we can do, ya know?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Nothing good happened
    and we messed up before,
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    but it's a mission
    that only we can do!
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    This is getting interesting…
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    I'm getting kind of excited for this!
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Special Mission"
    
    
    
**[23:09] ---**
    All right!
    Let's begin the mission!
    
    
    
**[23:12] ---**
    A SPECIAL MISSION
    
    
    
**[23:18] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:21] ---**
    With that being said,
    our mission is over.
**[00:25] ---**
    You're dismissed.
**[00:27] ---**
    We're done already?
    But it's only ten in the morning!
**[00:30] ---**
    Lately, all of our missions
    have been so boring!
**[00:32] ---**
    When are we gonna get
    an S-rank mission?
**[00:34] ---**
    "S-rank"?
**[00:36] ---**
    A loser like you?
**[00:37] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[00:38] ---**
    We're still genin!
**[00:41] ---**
    I want something with
    more pizazz…more oomph!
**[00:44] ---**
    Uh, there aren't any.
**[00:45] ---**
    Okay, dismissed!
**[00:49] ---**
    You heard him, Sasuke.
**[00:51] ---**
    So how about today,
    just the two of us…
**[00:53] ---**
    I'm going home.
**[00:54] ---**
    Just hold on a minute.
**[00:56] ---**
    There's only one S-rank mission
    that we can do.
**[01:01] ---**
    A mission that's
    failed numerous times…
**[01:03] ---**
    One that only we can pull off…
**[01:06] ---**
    …to see what Kakashi Sensei's face
    really looks like!
**[01:10] ---**
    Let's find out what the best-kept
    secret about our target is!
**[02:44] ---**
    *A SPECIAL MISSION*
    
    
**[02:45] ---**
    Why are you trying to act like
    you know what you're saying?
    
     *A SPECIAL MISSION*
    
    
**[02:49] ---**
    Just forget about that already.
**[02:52] ---**
    Right, Sasuke?
**[02:54] ---**
    This is the perfect mission
    for a day like today.
**[02:56] ---**
    I couldn't agree more!
**[02:58] ---**
    INNER SAKURA
    
    *I got tricked!*
**[03:01] ---**
    INNER SAKURA
    
    *Cha!*
**[03:04] ---**
    But what do we do?
**[03:06] ---**
    Every time we try,
    it never goes well.
**[03:10] ---**
    I already have a plan!
**[03:13] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:14] ---**
    Photos!
**[03:15] ---**
    If we go through every single photo
    Kakashi Sensei is in,
**[03:18] ---**
    there's bound to be at least one…
**[03:21] ---**
    I never told you this,
    but I already checked once before.
**[03:25] ---**
    He has a mask on in every one.
**[03:28] ---**
    The photo submitted to the Hokage
    for the Ninja Registration Form…
**[03:32] ---**
    …should be one of him
    without a mask.
**[03:36] ---**
    But it's an extremely classified,
    top-secret document…
**[03:40] ---**
    Accessing it would be no easy task.
**[03:44] ---**
    He overheard us!
**[03:45] ---**
    *Who cares if he*
    *overheard us or not?!*
**[03:49] ---**
    Who are you?
**[03:50] ---**
    I'm Sukea, a photographer.
**[03:53] ---**
    I travel to the east and west
    looking for scoops.
**[03:55] ---**
    What about north and south?
**[03:57] ---**
    Naruto!
**[03:58] ---**
    You've been getting hung up on
    insignificant details since earlier!
**[04:01] ---**
    Anyways,
    I was searching around for a scoop
**[04:03] ---**
    and happened to overhear
    an interesting conversation…
**[04:06] ---**
    He did hear us!
    Should we get rid of him?!
**[04:09] ---**
    You idiot!
**[04:10] ---**
    Ouch!
**[04:12] ---**
    He's right.
**[04:14] ---**
    There's a rule that the photo for
    the Ninja Registration Form
**[04:17] ---**
    must be of your entire face.
**[04:19] ---**
    It's so obvious, we didn't even
    think about looking there.
**[04:23] ---**
    Will you let me join you
    in this adventure?
**[04:28] ---**
    What's your motive?
**[04:30] ---**
    If I'm able to capture
    this Kakashi guy without a mask,
**[04:34] ---**
    I'll have the biggest scoop since
    the Hidden Leaf was established.
**[04:38] ---**
    Even if it's hushed up, I'm sure to
    make a lot of money out of this.
**[04:42] ---**
    Hey! Hey!
**[04:43] ---**
    When you get the money, you have to
    treat us to ramen! Promise?
**[04:46] ---**
    I'll even throw in some dumplings.
**[04:48] ---**
    So it's settled then?
**[04:50] ---**
    This is getting interesting…
**[04:54] ---**
    Oh, you guys…
**[04:56] ---**
    INNER SAKURA
    
    *I'm getting kind of*
    *excited for this!*
**[05:08] ---**
    Secret documents are stored here…
**[05:11] ---**
    This is an infiltration mission…
**[05:14] ---**
    Mr. Sukea, will you
    be able to keep up?
**[05:18] ---**
    Before I started taking pictures,
    I was a rank-and-file ninja…
**[05:23] ---**
    All right! Let's begin the mission!
**[05:42] ---**
    Not done yet, Sasuke?!
**[05:43] ---**
    Shut up… Wait!
**[05:46] ---**
    Can we switch?
**[05:56] ---**
    It opened! Wow!
**[05:58] ---**
    Sukea…
**[06:00] ---**
    What division did you belong to?
**[06:02] ---**
    The Intel Unit that reported
    directly to Lord Hokage.
**[06:07] ---**
    That's the…
**[06:08] ---**
    ANBU Black Ops.
**[06:11] ---**
    Things happened
    and now I'm retired.
**[06:14] ---**
    Considering your past,
    is it wise for you to be doing this?
**[06:18] ---**
    You'll be targeted by the ANBU.
**[06:21] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
    C'mon, let's go.
**[06:30] ---**
    We have to search in all of these?
**[06:32] ---**
    Let's hurry.
**[06:47] ---**
    Found it! This is it!
**[06:53] ---**
    Okay, let's open it.
**[06:58] ---**
    The moment is finally here!
**[07:00] ---**
    REGISTRATION FORM
    
**[07:04] ---**
    REGISTRATION FORM
    
**[07:07] ---**
    REGISTRATION FORM
    
**[07:14] ---**
    Don't move!
**[07:17] ---**
    We're taking you in.
**[07:20] ---**
    Make a move and
    we'll take that as resistance…
**[07:22] ---**
    Depending on the situation
    we may have to take you down.
**[07:24] ---**
    I-I feel like I'm going to sneeze.
**[07:27] ---**
    Idiot! Hold it in!
**[07:29] ---**
    Damn it…we were so close!
**[07:36] ---**
    FIRE
    
**[07:46] ---**
    Really? An infiltration mission?
**[07:48] ---**
    I'm so sorry… I tried to stop them,
    but they insisted…
**[07:52] ---**
    Huh?! What a jerk!
**[07:54] ---**
    So you planned on blaming us
    from the start if this failed?!
**[07:58] ---**
    They wanted to see
    what you really looked like…
**[08:01] ---**
    You're a former ANBU Black Ops,
    aren't you?
**[08:03] ---**
    Honestly!
    Who cares what I really look like?!
**[08:16] ---**
    You've got some nerve blaming us!
**[08:19] ---**
    I thought it was strange.
**[08:20] ---**
    You're skilled,
    and you're a former ANBU.
**[08:24] ---**
    You could've done this alone.
**[08:25] ---**
    I can't stand guys who are handsome,
    but do nasty things.
**[08:29] ---**
    Sorry! Sorry!
**[08:31] ---**
    I'll make it up to you by helping you
    photograph Kakashi Sensei's face.
**[08:35] ---**
    This time with
    my photography skills.
**[08:37] ---**
    What? You're still gonna do this?
**[08:39] ---**
    Why? You're already giving up?
**[08:42] ---**
    What's your plan?
**[08:44] ---**
    Let's go for Kakashi himself.
**[08:46] ---**
    We'll lure him out to a meal,
    then photograph him while he eats.
**[08:49] ---**
    We tried many times and failed.
**[08:54] ---**
    Every time, at the very moment
    we have a chance to see his face,
**[08:58] ---**
    we get interrupted.
**[09:00] ---**
    With this multi-exposure
    camera I built,
**[09:03] ---**
    we should get at least one photo.
**[09:06] ---**
    SWEET CHESTNUTS
    
**[09:10] ---**
    Sensei! I need to talk to you about
    something very important, ya know?!
**[09:15] ---**
    What is it?
**[09:17] ---**
    Well, why don't we eat
    some dumplings while we talk?
**[09:21] ---**
    I'm ready!
**[09:24] ---**
    All right, I'm gonna
    take you up on your offer!
**[09:50] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[09:51] ---**
    Were you guys
    out taking a stroll too?
**[09:54] ---**
    Don't bother us! We're doing
    something really important!
**[09:58] ---**
    What is it?
**[10:03] ---**
    I'm about to find out.
**[10:06] ---**
    *He already ate it?!*
**[10:10] ---**
    *But this time,*
    *we got you on camera!*
**[10:28] ---**
    This is…impossible…
**[10:30] ---**
    You're kidding… Not a single one?
**[10:33] ---**
    I feel like some divine power
    is at work here.
**[10:38] ---**
    I guess this means…
**[10:40] ---**
    the mission is over
    and dismissed, huh?
**[10:54] ---**
    I guess I'll be…
**[10:56] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[11:02] ---**
    What are you guys up to?
**[11:05] ---**
    Kiba…
    And everyone!
**[11:14] ---**
    MAKEOUT PARADISE
    
**[11:20] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[11:23] ---**
    P-Perfect timing!
**[11:25] ---**
    U-Um…
    O-Over there…
**[11:27] ---**
    What's wrong?
    Calm down and tell me.
**[11:31] ---**
    A woman's drowned…
    O-Over there by the river…
**[11:34] ---**
    What?!
**[11:55] ---**
    This isn't good.
    Her pulse is weak.
**[11:58] ---**
    *Good job, Sakura!*
**[12:00] ---**
    *Her medicine's even fooled*
    *Kakashi Sensei!*
**[12:05] ---**
    This calls for…
**[12:12] ---**
    *He definitely has to*
    *take his mask off now!*
**[12:23] ---**
    This woman's in danger!
    We can't waste any time!
**[12:26] ---**
    We have to get her to the hospital!
**[12:33] ---**
    Plan A…failed.
**[12:35] ---**
    *Understood.*
    *Everyone, switch to Plan B.*
**[12:39] ---**
    *Mr. Sukea, please get into*
    *position as well.*
**[12:41] ---**
    Roger.
**[12:48] ---**
    All right, he's coming!
**[12:50] ---**
    Just as Shikamaru predicted,
**[12:52] ---**
    he's gonna pass this way
    to the hospital.
**[12:54] ---**
    Everyone get in position!
**[13:03] ---**
    Expansion Jutsu!
**[13:06] ---**
    Human Boulder!
    Roll! Roll! Roll!
**[13:20] ---**
    What're you doing?!
    We have to get her to…
**[13:29] ---**
    Go!
**[13:30] ---**
    Hidden Jutsu! Beetle Sphere!
**[13:35] ---**
    Now!
**[13:40] ---**
    3…2…1
**[13:43] ---**
    Now!
**[13:44] ---**
    Scatter!
**[13:47] ---**
    Mind Transmission Jutsu!
**[14:00] ---**
    Look, you guys…
**[14:01] ---**
    I get that you want to see
    what I look like,
**[14:03] ---**
    but think of the situation
    at hand here!
**[14:04] ---**
    She needs to get to
    the hospital ASAP!
**[14:14] ---**
    Shadow Possession Jutsu!
**[14:16] ---**
    Complete!
**[14:24] ---**
    Do it now, Sukea!
**[14:31] ---**
    It finally worked, Naruto.
**[14:34] ---**
    You can have ramen
    and dumplings now!
**[14:39] ---**
    Hey guys, the plan worked!
**[14:43] ---**
    Finally…
**[14:44] ---**
    You guys should all be
    grateful to us.
**[14:46] ---**
    That's because—
**[14:47] ---**
    Okay, Kakashi Sensei…
    Get ready!
**[14:50] ---**
    Do it, Shikamaru!
**[14:52] ---**
    It's time for the unveiling.
**[14:54] ---**
    Wait, wait, you guys.
**[14:56] ---**
    Let's just talk things over.
**[15:01] ---**
    H-Hey!
    Stop! Stop!
**[15:07] ---**
    C-Calm down!
**[15:09] ---**
    Keeping this a mystery makes it
    more alluring, don't you think?
**[15:15] ---**
    Ramen and dumplings at Ichiraku
    sound way more alluring to me.
**[15:20] ---**
    So you were bribed!
**[15:22] ---**
    Checkmate!
**[15:24] ---**
    Hey! Wait!
    I mean, please wait!
**[15:37] ---**
    You're being annoying, Lee!
**[15:39] ---**
    Please spar with me!
**[15:40] ---**
    Neji!
**[15:42] ---**
    What?
    Don't interfere!
**[15:45] ---**
    Enough is enough, you two!
**[15:58] ---**
    Hey! Wait!
**[16:06] ---**
    Sorry!
**[16:13] ---**
    Ouch!
**[16:22] ---**
    A S-Shadow Clone?
**[16:24] ---**
    What's the hell is going on?
**[16:25] ---**
    Does this mean Kakashi Sensei was
    on to us from the very beginning?
**[16:39] ---**
    It was too bad… But I'm really
    grateful to all of you.
**[16:43] ---**
    Nah… Thanks to you Sukea,
    we had a great time!
**[16:48] ---**
    Thank you!
**[16:49] ---**
    I'd better get going.
**[16:52] ---**
    Let's team up again
    if something comes up.
**[16:55] ---**
    Hope you get your scoop!
**[17:08] ---**
    *They really seem like*
    *they're having fun!*
**[17:24] ---**
    It was sheer coincidence that Kiba
    came to the dumpling shop…
**[17:28] ---**
    But who would have thought
    everyone would team up.
**[17:31] ---**
    But something like this is good,
    once in a while.
**[17:35] ---**
    But it really wears me out…
**[17:38] ---**
    …using this many Clones
    and Transformations.
**[17:43] ---**
    It was a close call with my mask…
    because of everyone's teamwork.
**[17:48] ---**
    Even if they got the mask,
    it's no harm done.
**[17:55] ---**
    Because I'm wearing
    a back-up mask underneath.
**[18:00] ---**
    Food is the best way!
**[18:02] ---**
    That has the highest probability…
**[18:04] ---**
    But the problem is, how do we get
    Kakashi Sensei to eat with us.
**[18:10] ---**
    Bad timing!
    They're coming this way!
**[18:36] ---**
    Hey!
**[18:41] ---**
    Excuse me,
**[18:42] ---**
    but did you notice any kind of
    trouble going on around here?
**[18:45] ---**
    Huh? No, there wasn't anything…
**[18:59] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[19:02] ---**
    I heard him and his team were making
    a commotion all around town.
**[19:06] ---**
    Sorry for stopping you.
**[19:10] ---**
    N-No problem.
**[19:16] ---**
    Hey.
**[19:26] ---**
    Uh, can I help you?
**[19:29] ---**
    Don't I know you from somewhere?
**[19:33] ---**
    N-No…
    I don't think so…
**[19:37] ---**
    Really?
    Well, excuse me. Later!
**[19:45] ---**
    I could have sworn
    I've met him before…
**[20:34] ---**
    Changing your voice
    really puts a strain on the throat.
**[20:51] ---**
    RENTAL AGREEMENT
    
**[20:56] ---**
    It turned out to be
    a good mission after all…
**[21:00] ---**
    Their teamwork's gotten
    much better than it was
**[21:03] ---**
    during the bell-snatching mission.
**[21:05] ---**
    Oh well…
**[21:06] ---**
    I can probably only keep this up
    for about two or three more attempts…
**[22:49] ---**
    I can't use a pervy move
    to distract her anymore.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    So I gotta go back to the basics
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    …and corner her!
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    If she tries to escape through
    that weird window again,
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    I'll enter it with her.
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    That's where I'll look for Sasuke!
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Connecting Thoughts"
    
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    I can still sense
    Sasuke's chakra clearly!
    
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    CONNECTING THOUGHTS
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:14] ---**
    This time, we're going
    with my strategy.
**[00:16] ---**
    Help me out.
**[00:19] ---**
    Mother…
    These two are quite annoying.
**[00:23] ---**
    Why don't you split them up…
**[00:27] ---**
    and take them on separately?
**[00:38] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[00:40] ---**
    Now you won't be able
    to seal Mother away…
**[00:44] ---**
    First, I'll suck out all of your chakra!
**[00:49] ---**
    Damn it!
**[02:21] ---**
    *CONNECTING THOUGHTS*
    
    
    
**[02:25] ---**
    *CONNECTING THOUGHTS*
    
    
    It's hard to believe.
**[02:26] ---**
    So both your powers and Sasuke's
**[02:29] ---**
    are necessary in order
    to seal away this Kaguya?
**[02:33] ---**
    Yeah! But like I said earlier,
    I can't sense Sasuke at all!
**[02:38] ---**
    The ice…is moving.
**[02:46] ---**
    Over there!
**[03:00] ---**
    *She's merged with Nature!*
**[03:11] ---**
    Naruto!
**[03:15] ---**
    She's finally showing herself.
**[03:18] ---**
    You said you suddenly stopped
    sensing Sasuke?
**[03:21] ---**
    Yeah.
**[03:22] ---**
    Then I suspect he was taken
    to another dimension.
**[03:28] ---**
    If I resonate my Kamui
    the next time she connects
**[03:30] ---**
    and opens a portal
    to another Time-Space,
**[03:34] ---**
    I'm positive I can enter it.
**[03:37] ---**
    If Sasuke is there, I can bring
    him back to this dimension.
**[03:42] ---**
    However…
**[03:43] ---**
    I'll need an enormous amount
    of chakra to do it,
**[03:46] ---**
    since it's not my own Time-Space.
**[03:49] ---**
    If my chakra runs out
    while I'm there, I'm done.
**[03:52] ---**
    Then I'll go with you.
**[03:54] ---**
    The real me won't go down
    that quickly.
**[03:56] ---**
    Because I'm strong.
**[03:58] ---**
    Your Clone Chakra isn't enough.
**[04:02] ---**
    Would it still be inadequate
    with my 100 Healings Chakra?
**[04:07] ---**
    That would give me
    the bare minimum.
**[04:09] ---**
    Both of you, come with me.
**[04:10] ---**
    All right!
**[04:12] ---**
    I'm not going to waste time
    on a speech,
**[04:15] ---**
    because I'm almost out of time.
**[04:17] ---**
    But…
**[04:19] ---**
    I just ask that you let me
    walk in front of you…
**[04:25] ---**
    and die for you.
**[04:30] ---**
    *Then it's true.*
**[04:32] ---**
    *This man can't be saved.*
**[04:37] ---**
    *That's why he intends to die…*
**[04:42] ---**
    We don't even know if Sasuke
    is in that Time-Space.
**[04:45] ---**
    But we'll start by getting
    into close range with her.
**[04:48] ---**
    I promise to find Sasuke,
    and deliver him to the real you.
**[04:55] ---**
    Obito.
**[04:56] ---**
    Thanks for rescuing me…
**[05:02] ---**
    And Sasuke too.
**[05:06] ---**
    Don't thank someone like me.
**[05:08] ---**
    Just keep an eye on the enemy.
**[05:15] ---**
    So no more masks, huh?
**[05:21] ---**
    I'm Kakashi's friend,
**[05:24] ---**
    your father's subordinate,
**[05:27] ---**
    I'm an Uchiha just
    like Sasuke,
**[05:30] ---**
    and…
**[05:31] ---**
    *The Hokage is someone*
    *who endures pain*
**[05:34] ---**
    *and takes the lead in*
    *front of everyone.*
**[05:37] ---**
    *The way he forges ahead*
    *draws others towards him.*
**[05:42] ---**
    *He makes you want to reach out*
    *when he's about to stumble.*
**[05:46] ---**
    I was your senior who dreamt
    the same dream as you.
**[05:53] ---**
    Naruto!
**[05:56] ---**
    And you said
    your name was Sakura?
**[05:59] ---**
    Keep a hand on me,
**[06:02] ---**
    so we can teleport to a different
    Time-Space at any moment.
**[06:05] ---**
    Got it.
**[06:19] ---**
    She knows about us, after all.
**[06:23] ---**
    We have to keep in mind
**[06:25] ---**
    that even if we jump into
    her dimension with Kamui,
**[06:28] ---**
    she'll perceive us.
**[06:33] ---**
    *So we're not worth her attention, eh?*
**[06:37] ---**
    *Yeah, come over here.*
**[06:39] ---**
    *What you want…*
    *is my chakra, right?!*
**[06:45] ---**
    *Whatever jutsu I use,*
    *she's just going to absorb it.*
**[06:51] ---**
    *So what will work best*
    *on her is also…*
**[06:55] ---**
    *a feint and taijutsu!*
**[06:57] ---**
    *I can't use a pervy move*
    *to distract her anymore.*
**[07:01] ---**
    *So I gotta go back to the basics*
**[07:03] ---**
    *and corner her!*
**[07:05] ---**
    *If she tries to escape through*
    *that weird window again,*
**[07:09] ---**
    *I'll enter it with her.*
**[07:10] ---**
    *That's where I'll look for Sasuke!*
**[07:13] ---**
    *Even now, I can sense*
    *Sasuke's chakra clearly!*
**[07:17] ---**
    This is my Time-Space.
**[07:20] ---**
    You are powerless here.
**[07:23] ---**
    Are you ready, Naruto?
**[07:25] ---**
    Yeah!
**[07:26] ---**
    I'm going to boost your chakra
    to the boiling point!
**[07:30] ---**
    Vapor Style: Unrivalled Strength!
**[07:45] ---**
    All right!
**[07:46] ---**
    A-Amazing…
**[07:54] ---**
    I infused chakra for you, Naruto!
**[07:57] ---**
    Thank you, Kurama!
**[08:00] ---**
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[08:38] ---**
    Right now,
    this place is my Time-Space!
**[08:42] ---**
    U...
**[08:44] ---**
    zu...
**[08:46] ---**
    ma...
**[08:48] ---**
    ki!
**[08:51] ---**
    Naruto
**[08:52] ---**
    Uzumaki
**[08:54] ---**
    Barrage!
**[08:59] ---**
    *It opened!*
**[09:02] ---**
    *The real me will go!*
**[09:21] ---**
    He forced his way in?
**[09:23] ---**
    Impossible!
**[09:30] ---**
    He disappeared?
**[09:34] ---**
    Looks like several managed
    to get in.
**[09:37] ---**
    The other two ran out of power
    and faded.
**[09:41] ---**
    Seems your clones didn't
    have enough chakra.
**[09:46] ---**
    Are you the original Naruto?
**[09:48] ---**
    So what if I am?
**[09:51] ---**
    Mother, he's made it all the way
    into this Root Time-Space.
**[09:56] ---**
    It's not good that
    he's here in this place
**[09:59] ---**
    that connects directly
    to the other five Time-Spaces.
**[10:03] ---**
    He might be able to get
    to where Sasuke is,
**[10:05] ---**
    using the resonance of
    the dual opposite powers.
**[10:09] ---**
    Take that weird jutsu earlier,
**[10:12] ---**
    this shinobi Naruto has
    always been unpredictable.
**[10:16] ---**
    We ought to just…
**[10:19] ---**
    kill him right now!
**[10:22] ---**
    We can't do that.
**[10:24] ---**
    I must absorb
    those children's chakra.
**[10:29] ---**
    You use a huge amount of chakra
**[10:31] ---**
    whenever you change
    the Time-Space of the world, Mother.
**[10:35] ---**
    You need to preserve the chakra
    you've got for an emergency.
**[10:40] ---**
    It's better if you don't keep
    engaging him.
**[10:44] ---**
    If you get sealed away,
    all will be for naught.
**[10:47] ---**
    No doubt,
    you'll lose a lot of chakra.
**[10:51] ---**
    But you don't need his!
**[10:53] ---**
    It's better than having our long-
    cherished plans turn to dust.
**[10:59] ---**
    You're right.
**[11:04] ---**
    We can kill him with this!
**[11:06] ---**
    Murderous Bone Ash!
**[11:14] ---**
    Die!
**[11:26] ---**
    Now all of his clones
    in the Ice World
**[11:29] ---**
    should be gone as well!
**[11:38] ---**
    Thanks to Naruto,
**[11:39] ---**
    we were able to successfully hide
    inside my Time-Space.
**[11:42] ---**
    But he's gone, even as a clone.
**[11:46] ---**
    You're the only one
    I can rely on, Sakura.
**[11:50] ---**
    I know!
**[11:52] ---**
    There's a reason
    I put myself at the front!
**[11:56] ---**
    And I'll do even more than Naruto!
**[12:09] ---**
    *He's the fool who fell*
    *in love with me…*
**[12:12] ---**
    *I'm the one who made*
    *Naruto suffer the most.*
**[12:17] ---**
    *I was always wrong,*
    *I always made mistakes.*
**[12:22] ---**
    *I don't want to be wrong*
    *ever again.*
**[12:24] ---**
    *I don't want to make*
    *a mistake ever again.*
**[12:28] ---**
    *That's why…*
    *I'll never retreat!*
**[12:34] ---**
    *Leave it to me, Sakura!*
**[12:37] ---**
    *I'm the super elite ninja,*
    *and future Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki!*
**[12:42] ---**
    *Remember my name!*
**[12:43] ---**
    *I'm going to become Hokage*
**[12:44] ---**
    *and surpass everyone*
    *who came before me!*
**[12:48] ---**
    *Your previously ridiculous dreams*
    *no longer seem silly.*
**[12:53] ---**
    *I won't let you die!*
**[12:54] ---**
    *I simply won't let you!*
**[12:57] ---**
    *You're not going to die,*
    *no matter what!*
**[13:17] ---**
    Looks like we succeeded
    in getting in, Obito.
**[13:24] ---**
    *Now that you've teleported*
    *over there,*
**[13:26] ---**
    *please don't get crushed*
    *on the other side!*
**[13:43] ---**
    We killed the original!
**[13:46] ---**
    So why aren't they gone?
**[13:56] ---**
    *The real me will go!*
**[14:03] ---**
    Damn it!
**[14:04] ---**
    Are you okay, Naruto?
**[14:07] ---**
    How is this okay?!
**[14:11] ---**
    Never mind. Just be ready
    when Kaguya comes back.
**[14:23] ---**
    The Kamui worked.
**[14:26] ---**
    They're onto us!
**[14:28] ---**
    I'll draw their attention,
**[14:30] ---**
    so you two go hide
    in the meantime!
**[14:33] ---**
    I've marked this spot,
**[14:35] ---**
    so I can hide in my Time-Space
    for the time being.
**[14:38] ---**
    You too, Sakura!
**[14:43] ---**
    The other two ran out
    of power and faded.
**[14:47] ---**
    Seems your clones didn't
    have enough chakra.
**[14:52] ---**
    Are you the original Naruto?
**[14:54] ---**
    So what if I am?!
**[15:02] ---**
    So they were just
    clones back there.
**[15:06] ---**
    You fooled us.
**[15:09] ---**
    You got me.
**[15:11] ---**
    I'm…
**[15:13] ---**
    the original.
**[15:16] ---**
    *I've gotta fight smart*
    *and keep them busy*
**[15:19] ---**
    *so they don't go back over there.*
**[15:29] ---**
    This Time-Space should be
    connected to the others.
**[15:33] ---**
    We'll open them one by one
    and look for Sasuke.
**[15:37] ---**
    Right!
**[15:48] ---**
    *I'll give him all the chakra I've got!*
**[16:01] ---**
    *What an incredibly vast Time-Space…*
**[16:06] ---**
    *To be able to connect them*
    *in an instant.*
**[16:09] ---**
    *Just who is this Kaguya?!*
**[16:14] ---**
    Isn't that where we were before?
**[16:18] ---**
    I can't sense Sasuke in there!
**[16:26] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[16:28] ---**
    On to the next!
**[16:31] ---**
    Yes!
**[16:48] ---**
    I thought it was around here…
**[16:57] ---**
    What is…that?
**[17:00] ---**
    He's not here either.
**[17:11] ---**
    You should rest a bit.
**[17:14] ---**
    What about chakra?
**[17:15] ---**
    Oh… I still have reserves.
**[17:20] ---**
    Keep enough to get back.
**[17:23] ---**
    If worse comes to worst
    and we can't find Sasuke…
**[17:27] ---**
    We'll find him!
**[17:31] ---**
    Next!
**[17:45] ---**
    Be careful about making
    a gateway, Mother.
**[17:49] ---**
    Naruto will get closer to Sasuke.
**[17:54] ---**
    Plus, I've figured out something.
**[17:57] ---**
    The original Naruto has
    Truthseeker Orbs around him!
**[18:26] ---**
    A sea of acid!
**[18:36] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[18:37] ---**
    I'm fine!
**[18:38] ---**
    This is nothing.
**[18:44] ---**
    You are a Medical Ninja,
    aren't you?
**[18:47] ---**
    I'll wait until you heal your wound.
**[18:50] ---**
    That place wasn't
    the right one either.
**[18:53] ---**
    After we rest a little, we'll…
**[18:55] ---**
    Don't worry about it!
**[18:57] ---**
    There's a limit to our chakra, right?
**[19:04] ---**
    Why don't you tend to
    your wound?
**[19:06] ---**
    Just a little will…
**[19:07] ---**
    I don't want to waste this chance
    that Naruto gave us!
**[19:17] ---**
    You want to help him
    if he starts to stumble, eh?
**[19:21] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:22] ---**
    It's nothing.
**[19:24] ---**
    Okay, next!
**[19:25] ---**
    Yes!
**[19:47] ---**
    He's here!
**[19:48] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[19:51] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[19:53] ---**
    Over here! Hurry!
**[19:57] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[20:08] ---**
    *Sasuke!*
**[20:10] ---**
    *Cha!*
**[20:17] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[20:25] ---**
    *No way…*
**[20:50] ---**
    How did you do it?
**[20:52] ---**
    It's one of my abilities.
**[20:56] ---**
    I can shift myself between spaces,
**[21:01] ---**
    although only over a finite distance.
**[21:05] ---**
    But I made it here,
    thanks to that.
**[22:48] ---**
    Am I powerless to do
    anything but watch?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Right about now, Sakura
    and Obito are battling…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    I really couldn't do much
    for you as your teacher.
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Nor Obito and Rin,
    as your friend.
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    “The Two of Them…Always”
    
    
**[23:10] ---**
    I just put on airs…
    and kept making mistakes.
    
    
    
**[23:14] ---**
    THE TWO OF THEM…ALWAYS
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:14] ---**
    I see…
**[00:15] ---**
    Sasuke and Naruto are in
    an alternate Time-Space
**[00:18] ---**
    as well as Sakura and Kakashi.
**[00:21] ---**
    Naruto and Sasuke are
    the core participants in the battle.
**[00:25] ---**
    I wish we could have gotten
    your advice and aid a bit earlier.
**[00:30] ---**
    This lower body is a part of Madara
    after he became the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.
**[00:36] ---**
    In short, it contains Ten Tails,
    Madara and Hashirama…
**[00:39] ---**
    No, rather Nine Tails, Madara
    and Hashirama.
**[00:42] ---**
    No, rather Nine Tails,
    Indra and Ashura.
**[00:45] ---**
    I'm only able to emerge like this now
    because their chakra is finally one.
**[00:50] ---**
    Going back to the jutsu
    you mentioned earlier,
**[00:54] ---**
    just what exactly are you doing to do?
**[00:57] ---**
    I will weave the signs for the jutsu.
**[00:59] ---**
    But this jutsu requires
    a vast amount of chakra…
**[01:03] ---**
    which I don't have right now
    since I've given it away.
**[01:09] ---**
    There's very little time.
    I ask you to just do as I say.
**[02:47] ---**
    *THE TWO OF THEM…ALWAYS*
    
    
    
**[02:54] ---**
    This man lent me his power.
    That's how we were able to get here.
**[03:00] ---**
    He did?
**[03:04] ---**
    Oh no…
**[03:07] ---**
    *Damn it… I can't…*
    *Not until I can bring them back…*
**[03:11] ---**
    Hang on!
**[03:14] ---**
    *Will I…*
**[03:16] ---**
    *break my promise again?*
**[03:21] ---**
    Rin?
**[03:33] ---**
    You know, Rin, you saving me,
**[03:36] ---**
    is really the same as you
    saving the world.
**[03:40] ---**
    Hmm?
**[03:42] ---**
    I mean…
**[03:43] ---**
    It's because I'm gonna become
    the Hokage and end this war!
**[03:48] ---**
    For me to do that I have to
    stay strong and healthy in this world.
**[03:52] ---**
    So…how do I put it?
**[03:57] ---**
    If you don't stay close
    and keep an eye on me…
**[04:03] ---**
    I mean…
**[04:08] ---**
    Well…
**[04:13] ---**
    Y-You got so close all of a sudden!
**[04:16] ---**
    Don't scare me like that!
**[04:18] ---**
    You just said to stay close
    and keep an eye on you?
**[04:26] ---**
    Yeah, I did.
**[04:28] ---**
    So watch over me.
**[04:29] ---**
    I'm going to wear the Uchiha crest…
**[04:32] ---**
    and definitely become the Hokage!
**[04:38] ---**
    Okay!
**[04:40] ---**
    *Oh man, oh man, oh man!*
    *This is the one day I can't be late!*
**[04:45] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    ENTRANCE CEREMONY
    
**[05:00] ---**
    - Where do you wanna go?
    - I don't know, where should we go?
**[05:04] ---**
    It's the entrance ceremony
    and you're already late.
**[05:08] ---**
    Someone like you has no business
    being in the Academy.
**[05:12] ---**
    You'll never make it.
**[05:13] ---**
    It's okay.
**[05:16] ---**
    I got this just for you.
**[05:20] ---**
    For me?
**[05:21] ---**
    Yes! Just submit this
    and you'll be able to enroll.
**[05:25] ---**
    Thank you! You're a lifesaver!
**[05:28] ---**
    Keep pampering him and
    he'll never be cured of his tardiness.
**[05:31] ---**
    Shut up! Do you wanna fight?
**[05:34] ---**
    Begin!
**[06:01] ---**
    Stop right there!
**[06:19] ---**
    That's amazing!
**[06:23] ---**
    What's with that headband?
**[06:25] ---**
    You passed!
**[06:27] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[06:29] ---**
    Thanks.
**[06:34] ---**
    Aren't you going to congratulate me?
**[06:36] ---**
    As if! I'll catch up to you in no time!
**[06:40] ---**
    Just you wait!
**[06:46] ---**
    Obito…
**[07:04] ---**
    Class is starting. Let's go.
**[07:09] ---**
    Rin…
**[07:12] ---**
    Keep…
**[07:14] ---**
    Keep watching over me, okay?
**[07:17] ---**
    Huh?
**[07:20] ---**
    I…
**[07:21] ---**
    I'll catch up to him!
**[07:24] ---**
    Then I'll surpass him and
**[07:27] ---**
    I'll become the Hokage,
    no matter what!
**[07:34] ---**
    Don't worry,
    I'll always be watching.
**[08:24] ---**
    I found you, Obito!
**[08:27] ---**
    Huh? Rin!
**[08:33] ---**
    Are you all right?!
**[08:36] ---**
    I just slipped.
    I'm okay. I'm okay.
**[08:42] ---**
    Here is the graduation certificate
    for Obito Uchiha!
**[08:45] ---**
    This certifies that you have graduated
    from the Hidden Leaf Ninja Academy.
**[08:50] ---**
    You are commended for persevering
    through the rain and wind
**[08:53] ---**
    to reach this milestone!
**[08:58] ---**
    Here! Congratulations on graduating.
**[09:02] ---**
    Rin!
**[09:07] ---**
    Thank you, Rin.
**[09:10] ---**
    No one's here to watch.
**[09:12] ---**
    But this makes me happier than
    receiving it from Grandpa Hokage!
**[09:20] ---**
    We've been assigned
    to a team and now…
**[09:22] ---**
    this is our first step as shinobi!
**[09:27] ---**
    I still have a long ways to go,
**[09:29] ---**
    but I'm a little bit closer to
    becoming the Hokage…right?
**[09:39] ---**
    CHUNIN EXAMS
    FIRST STAGE TEST
    
**[09:52] ---**
    I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU.
    -RIN
    
**[10:02] ---**
    CHUNIN EXAMS
    THIRD STAGE
    ONE-ON-ONE BATTLES
    
**[10:08] ---**
    I'm going to have you pay me back
    in full for the last time.
**[10:13] ---**
    The "last time"?
**[10:14] ---**
    Do your best, Obito!
**[10:22] ---**
    All right… Just watch me!
**[10:24] ---**
    Begin!
**[10:26] ---**
    Wha—?!
**[10:30] ---**
    The winner is Might Guy!
**[10:33] ---**
    What is he doing?
**[10:54] ---**
    So this is where you are.
**[10:57] ---**
    O-Oh, it's you, Rin.
**[11:02] ---**
    It's only natural that Kakashi passed.
**[11:06] ---**
    But we can do it too.
    I know we can!
**[11:09] ---**
    Let's practice hard for next year!
**[11:12] ---**
    But it's hard to get pumped up
    after watching Kakashi…
**[11:16] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[11:23] ---**
    You're going to be the Hokage,
    aren't you?
**[11:27] ---**
    I'm always watching you!
**[11:32] ---**
    Okay!
**[11:40] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
**[11:55] ---**
    Obito…
**[12:00] ---**
    I did it!
**[12:01] ---**
    I'm a Chunin now!
**[12:04] ---**
    You're late again!
**[12:06] ---**
    A lot happened on my way here
    and I got lost…
**[12:09] ---**
    How come every path you take
    is a roundabout route?
**[12:12] ---**
    Just walk a straight line!
**[12:14] ---**
    They're not falling into line at all,
    are they?
**[12:17] ---**
    That's for sure.
    But you know, Sensei…
**[12:21] ---**
    Let me handle this.
**[12:23] ---**
    I'll watch over the two
    of them…always!
**[12:25] ---**
    Let's go…
**[12:27] ---**
    …you guys!
**[12:29] ---**
    I was stubborn and never at ease.
**[12:35] ---**
    But you never failed to
    come to my rescue.
**[13:05] ---**
    *Since it's a dream,*
    *everything is how you want it!*
**[13:12] ---**
    *Even the dead can be alive again!*
**[13:18] ---**
    *A world of only victors…*
**[13:20] ---**
    *A world of only peace…*
**[13:23] ---**
    *A world of only love…*
**[13:25] ---**
    *I will create such a world.*
**[13:31] ---**
    Rin… again…
**[13:35] ---**
    I'll create a world where
    we can be together again.
**[13:42] ---**
    Thank goodness!
**[13:44] ---**
    You came back!
**[13:47] ---**
    There's still something I must do.
**[13:51] ---**
    We're going back, you two.
**[13:55] ---**
    Hang on to me.
**[13:57] ---**
    All right!
**[14:20] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[14:24] ---**
    *Those things…*
**[14:26] ---**
    *They cut down*
    *the Shadow Clones earlier.*
**[14:37] ---**
    The Clones are desperately
    protecting that one.
**[14:40] ---**
    There's no mistake, Mother.
**[14:43] ---**
    The one with the Truthseeker Orbs
    behind him is the real one!
**[14:58] ---**
    There's no end to them!
**[15:15] ---**
    *Am I powerless to do*
    *anything but watch?*
**[15:21] ---**
    *Right now, even Sakura and Obito*
    *are desperately…*
**[15:26] ---**
    *I…*
**[15:27] ---**
    *I really couldn't do much*
    *for you as your teacher.*
**[15:33] ---**
    *Nor you, Obito and Rin…*
**[15:36] ---**
    *as your friend.*
**[15:38] ---**
    *I just put on airs*
    *because I was an elite,*
**[15:41] ---**
    *and kept making mistakes.*
**[15:44] ---**
    It's not over yet!
**[15:46] ---**
    There's no way I'm gonna lose!
**[15:58] ---**
    *What am I doing wallowing,*
    *when Naruto's fighting so hard?*
**[16:03] ---**
    *That's why I'm never any good.*
**[16:05] ---**
    *There should be something*
    *I can still do!*
**[16:16] ---**
    Obito!
**[16:22] ---**
    Impossible!
    It's Sasuke!
**[16:27] ---**
    He's here!
**[16:38] ---**
    Now, there's nothing to worry about.
**[16:48] ---**
    No way!
**[16:48] ---**
    Naruto!
**[16:53] ---**
    Why you!
**[16:55] ---**
    He passed the Truthseeker Orbs
    to a clone?
**[16:59] ---**
    We fell for something so simple!
**[17:02] ---**
    Thank you, Sakura and Obito!
**[17:05] ---**
    What? You're okay?
**[17:07] ---**
    You scared us there!
**[17:12] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[17:14] ---**
    Did you thank
    Sakura and Obito properly?
**[17:17] ---**
    Focus on the enemy!
**[17:20] ---**
    *Well, Naruto was always*
    *unexpectedly cunning.*
**[17:25] ---**
    Mother…
**[17:27] ---**
    Since they've reunited,
    we have no other choice.
**[17:30] ---**
    We can't afford to be stingy
    with our chakra.
**[17:35] ---**
    I know that.
**[17:56] ---**
    *My body feels so heavy.*
**[17:58] ---**
    *This terrain…*
    *is digging into my body!*
**[18:06] ---**
    I can't levitate!
**[18:09] ---**
    *A heavy gravity plane this time!*
**[18:12] ---**
    *Except…*
**[18:14] ---**
    *She's affected too.*
**[18:31] ---**
    Oh no!
**[18:37] ---**
    *Damn it! The Visual Prowess*
    *in my left eye hasn't…*
**[18:42] ---**
    Dodge it, Sasuke!
**[18:51] ---**
    Is the heavy gravity distorting your aim?
**[18:54] ---**
    I've now adjusted for it.
    I won't miss with the next one.
**[18:58] ---**
    I won't let you!
**[19:10] ---**
    *There's something that I can still do.*
**[19:17] ---**
    *I can at least be a shield for them!*
**[19:24] ---**
    – Let me make it in time!
    – Let me make it in time!
**[19:52] ---**
    – Rin!
    – Rin!
**[19:57] ---**
    *Again, you…*
**[19:59] ---**
    *Thank you, Rin.*
**[20:02] ---**
    *Obito and I will be joining you soon.*
**[20:06] ---**
    *We can catch up then…*
    *together, the three of us.*
**[20:12] ---**
    *Rin…*
**[20:14] ---**
    *This time, when I get there…*
**[20:17] ---**
    *Let's spend some alone time together,*
    *just you and me.*
**[20:38] ---**
    *Kakashi would just be in the way.*
**[20:40] ---**
    *I'm gonna leave him here.*
**[20:49] ---**
    *This is…Kamui!*
**[20:55] ---**
    Obito! You!
**[21:00] ---**
    Kakashi… You stay here
    a little while longer.
**[21:07] ---**
    Don't you rush to follow us!
**[22:46] ---**
    After fighting you,
    I feel like I've woken up.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    When I was a kid, I'd imagine myself
    as the Hokage so often.
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    I think it's because
    you brought back…
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    that indescribable feeling of
    exhilaration and uncertainty.
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "You Better…"
    
    
    
**[23:11] ---**
    Don't laugh at Obito!
    
    
    
**[23:13] ---**
    YOU BETTER…
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

    - Please make it in time!
**[00:29] ---**

    - Rin!
**[00:34] ---**
    *Thank you, Rin.*
**[00:36] ---**
    *Obito and I will be*
    *joining you shortly.*
**[00:40] ---**
    *We can catch up then,*
    *the three of us together.*
**[00:46] ---**
    *Rin…*
**[00:48] ---**
    *This time, let's spend...*
**[00:51] ---**
    *some alone time together.*
**[00:53] ---**
    *Just you and me.*
**[00:59] ---**
    *Kakashi would just be in the way.*
**[01:02] ---**
    *I'll leave him here.*
**[02:35] ---**
    *YOU BETTER…*
    
    
    
**[02:46] ---**
    Why?
**[02:49] ---**
    I thought we had both resolved to…
**[02:51] ---**
    Your power is still needed here!
**[03:02] ---**
    We need to rebuild chakra again.
**[03:06] ---**
    Mother, let's teleport to
    the Root Time-Space…
**[03:09] ---**
    You'll recover faster there, too.
**[03:12] ---**
    Why would you do this
    for someone useless like me?
**[03:16] ---**
    Never mind that.
**[03:18] ---**
    Kakashi, be wary of the enemy.
**[03:33] ---**
    *Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura…*
**[03:37] ---**
    *This is a crucial time for them.*
**[03:40] ---**
    *Kakashi, you must survive*
    *and support the next generation.*
**[03:44] ---**
    *It's too soon for you to die.*
**[03:51] ---**
    It's totally useless, Naruto.
**[03:55] ---**
    He's a goner.
**[03:58] ---**
    He'll rot away like trash and die.
**[04:00] ---**
    Enough, Naruto.
**[04:02] ---**
    He's right.
**[04:05] ---**
    Don't waste your chakra.
**[04:07] ---**
    Why do you sympathize with him?
**[04:10] ---**
    He was originally your enemy, right?
**[04:15] ---**
    Then again,
    he's a traitor to us now.
**[04:19] ---**
    A loser on both sides.
**[04:22] ---**
    Hated and resented
    by friend and foe alike,
**[04:25] ---**
    with no one to call
    comrade or family…
**[04:29] ---**
    He's alone, with nothing left.
**[04:32] ---**
    He's lost everyone precious to him,
**[04:34] ---**
    and he can't realize his dreams.
**[04:37] ---**
    And after being used up,
    he's helpless at the end…
**[04:41] ---**
    He's a fool, filled with
    nothing but mistakes…
**[04:44] ---**
    You've done nothing but—!
**[04:46] ---**
    You're right…
**[04:49] ---**
    Rin…again…
**[04:54] ---**
    I'll create a world where
    we can be together again.
**[05:05] ---**
    *I shall…*
**[05:07] ---**
    *sever the nexuses…*
**[05:11] ---**
    *of this world.*
**[05:36] ---**
    Now go on…
**[05:38] ---**
    Until I will be revived…
**[05:44] ---**
    You shall be…
**[05:47] ---**
    Who are you?
**[05:49] ---**
    I am Madara Uchiha.
**[05:54] ---**
    But a world of just
    victors, peace, and love…
**[05:58] ---**
    Such a world can be created too.
**[06:02] ---**
    If you allow us to collaborate,
    you can learn how.
**[06:11] ---**
    Let's go, Konan… Nagato.
**[06:13] ---**
    We can't trust these guys!
**[06:16] ---**
    Don't ever approach us again!
**[06:26] ---**
    You'll eventually realize it too.
**[06:30] ---**
    Who are you?
**[06:32] ---**
    You are going to be
    very useful to me.
**[06:38] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
    
**[06:47] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[07:23] ---**
    *Minato Sensei…*
**[08:16] ---**
    I hereby declare the start of
    the Fourth Great Ninja War.
**[08:35] ---**
    They each have formidable strength.
**[08:37] ---**
    And I have even more
    up my sleeve.
**[08:53] ---**
    So be it.
    We will join forces with you.
**[08:59] ---**
    They will know despair thoroughly.
**[09:44] ---**
    You're right.
**[09:47] ---**
    It's an end worthy of
    the criminal that I am.
**[09:54] ---**
    *My Visual Prowess is back!*
**[10:15] ---**
    We've been here before!
**[10:17] ---**
    Did she change worlds again?!
**[10:26] ---**
    Naruto!
**[10:28] ---**
    Naruto, I'll handle
    the diversions this time.
**[10:31] ---**
    He's beyond help.
**[10:33] ---**
    Come with me.
**[10:43] ---**
    I'm going on ahead!
**[10:53] ---**
    Damn it! Damn it!
**[10:56] ---**
    Damn it!
**[11:10] ---**
    That's enough.
**[11:11] ---**
    Thank you, Naruto
**[11:27] ---**
    After fighting you,
    I feel like I've woken up.
**[11:37] ---**
    You and I are both powerless shinobi.
**[11:41] ---**
    You…
**[11:44] ---**
    no, I should say everyone…
**[11:48] ---**
    will eventually end up like me.
**[11:53] ---**
    I'll never end up like you!
**[11:56] ---**
    How many times
    do I have to tell you?!
**[11:58] ---**
    My dream is to become
    the Hokage!
**[12:03] ---**
    There is no reason to keep on
    fighting for a world like this.
**[12:10] ---**
    In a few minutes,
    this world will be gone anyway.
**[12:16] ---**
    Why do you still fight?!
**[12:19] ---**
    Because it's my Ninja Way.
**[12:23] ---**
    I never go back on my word.
**[12:41] ---**
    Don't overdo it.
    Let's call it a day.
**[12:44] ---**
    No, I'm not giving up.
**[12:47] ---**
    Didn't I make a promise?
**[12:48] ---**
    That I'm gonna become
    the Hokage!
**[12:51] ---**
    Really…
**[12:55] ---**
    It was as if I saw my past self
    when I looked at you.
**[13:00] ---**
    And I regret what I am now.
**[13:04] ---**
    But for some reason,
    it also made me happy.
**[13:10] ---**
    As a kid, I would imagine myself
    as Hokage so often.
**[13:17] ---**
    That indescribable feeling
    of exhilaration and anxiety…
**[13:23] ---**
    I think you brought
    that all back for me.
**[13:43] ---**
    Don't cry, Obito.
    You'll get laughed at.
**[13:48] ---**
    I know.
**[13:49] ---**
    Besides, the world of shinobi
    is all about fighting.
**[13:53] ---**
    It's nowhere near
    a peaceful world.
**[13:56] ---**
    And I'll put an end to it,
    no matter what.
**[14:00] ---**
    Hey, you're not the only ones.
**[14:03] ---**
    Don't forget that we're here too.
**[14:07] ---**
    Yeah, that's right.
**[14:14] ---**
    Rin… I…
**[14:28] ---**
    What's that?
**[14:29] ---**
    The higher-ups have decided.
**[14:33] ---**
    Obito, you're going to be
    the next Hokage.
**[14:36] ---**
    But you're just as qualified…
**[14:39] ---**
    A supportive role suits me better.
**[14:42] ---**
    I'm sure Rin would say
    the same thing.
**[14:58] ---**
    But if you screw up,
    I won't hesitate
**[15:00] ---**
    to step up as a candidate
    to become the next Hokage.
**[15:03] ---**
    What?!
**[15:06] ---**
    Do your best!
**[15:11] ---**
    RIN NOHARA
    
**[15:22] ---**
    This is driving me crazy!
**[15:23] ---**
    All this paperwork
    day in and day out.
**[15:26] ---**
    That can't be helped…
**[15:28] ---**
    You're the Hokage now.
**[15:32] ---**
    Besides, something like this
    sure beats having to fight every day.
**[15:38] ---**
    That's for sure.
**[15:43] ---**
    It's the Hokage!
**[15:44] ---**
    Lord Hokage! Hello!
**[15:49] ---**
    Lord Hokage,
    are you on your rounds?
**[15:51] ---**
    Well, yes.
**[15:52] ---**
    Yeah, right!
**[15:53] ---**
    You're just goofing off, right?
**[15:56] ---**
    Speak for yourself!
**[15:57] ---**
    What?!
**[15:58] ---**
    Wanna make something of it?
**[15:59] ---**
    Cut it out!
**[16:04] ---**
    Why did you hit only me?
**[16:06] ---**
    Because you were rude
    to Lord Hokage!
**[16:09] ---**
    Seriously…
**[16:10] ---**
    It's so peaceful, thanks to you.
**[16:12] ---**
    Not just me.
**[16:14] ---**
    It's everyone who did their best
    to support the village.
**[16:18] ---**
    It would be nice to talk
    to Rin someday.
**[16:21] ---**
    Yeah.
**[16:26] ---**
    *Imagining the village, friends,*
    *and me as the Hokage…*
**[16:32] ---**
    *Even after all that's happened…*
**[16:35] ---**
    *Just the thought of it seems to*
    *fill up the hole in my heart.*
**[16:42] ---**
    Maybe it's because it's the end,
**[16:45] ---**
    I find myself rambling all of a sudden.
**[16:53] ---**
    Ouch!
**[17:00] ---**
    Don't act tough and
    hide your wounds.
**[17:03] ---**
    I'm always watching you.
**[17:07] ---**
    You promised me that
    you would become Hokage, Obito.
**[17:11] ---**
    Listen, I want to stop this war too.
**[17:14] ---**
    I really want to save the world.
**[17:18] ---**
    So I've decided to stick by
    your side and watch over you.
**[17:26] ---**
    You told me saving you
**[17:28] ---**
    was the same as saving
    the world, remember?
**[17:38] ---**
    Yeah!
**[17:39] ---**
    Since I'm keeping
    an eye on you,
**[17:42] ---**
    you can't hide anything
    from me anymore.
**[17:45] ---**
    Okay! Okay!
**[17:48] ---**
    Go for it, Obito!
**[17:51] ---**
    Become Hokage and show me
    how you'll save the world.
**[17:55] ---**
    That's another promise!
**[17:58] ---**
    Let's go!
**[18:08] ---**
    A lot more suffering
    likely awaits you, Naruto.
**[18:13] ---**
    But don't ever change
**[18:17] ---**
    and hang on to your Ninja Way.
**[18:21] ---**
    You once told me that
**[18:23] ---**
    never going back on your word
    is your Ninja Way, right?
**[18:31] ---**
    Yeah…
**[18:42] ---**
    Naruto…
**[18:45] ---**
    You better...
**[18:47] ---**
    become Hokage!
**[18:52] ---**
    Yeah!
**[19:44] ---**
    The vermin traitor has
    finally died, eh?
**[19:48] ---**
    He was vermin and
    persistent as a cockroach.
**[19:56] ---**
    Don't laugh at Obito!
**[20:00] ---**
    Naruto…
**[20:02] ---**
    Naruto…
**[20:04] ---**
    If you keep resisting,
**[20:06] ---**
    you'll end up pitifully crumbling
    to ash just like him!
**[20:12] ---**
    As someone who tried
    to become Hokage,
**[20:15] ---**
    Obito is nothing but…
**[20:19] ---**
    awesome to me!
**[20:27] ---**
    Rin!
**[20:29] ---**
    I've been waiting.
**[20:31] ---**
    Really?
**[20:32] ---**
    Sorry, I made you wait.
**[20:34] ---**
    Seems you got lost along the way.
**[20:37] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:39] ---**
    A lot of things happened
    before I could come here.
**[20:45] ---**
    Rin, you know...
**[20:48] ---**
    that promise I made to you…
**[20:51] ---**
    No, you did your best!
**[20:58] ---**
    I've been watching you all along!
**[21:08] ---**
    Let's go!
**[22:49] ---**
    Come on, Obito.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Rin, do you mind waiting
    just a little longer?
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Obito?
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Only a little bit before
    we move on…
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    I'd like to make one
    more detour along the way.
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    Really… Who do you want
    to save this time?
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Sharingan Revived"
    
    
**[23:11] ---**
    I'll be waiting, right here.
    
    
    
**[23:12] ---**
    THE SHARINGAN REVIVED
    
    
    
**[23:15] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:08] ---**
    The vermin traitor has finally died, eh?
**[00:12] ---**
    He was vermin…
    and persistent as a cockroach.
**[00:20] ---**
    Don't laugh at Obito!
**[00:24] ---**
    Naruto…
**[00:26] ---**
    Naruto…
**[00:28] ---**
    If you keep resisting,
**[00:30] ---**
    you'll end up pitifully crumbling
    to ash just like him!
**[00:36] ---**
    As someone who tried to
    become Hokage,
**[00:39] ---**
    Obito is…
**[00:43] ---**
    …nothing but awesome to me!
**[00:47] ---**
    No way!
**[00:56] ---**
    *I can't move!*
**[01:01] ---**
    *I don't even have*
    *much strength left,*
**[01:03] ---**
    *and yet, I was left behind again?*
**[01:20] ---**
    Are you all right, Rin?
    Kakashi?
**[01:26] ---**
    Obito!
**[01:36] ---**
    Don't…
**[01:37] ---**
    It's okay, Kakashi.
**[01:40] ---**
    I don't think I can make it…
**[01:44] ---**
    My right side is totally crushed.
**[01:48] ---**
    I can't even feel anything…
**[01:55] ---**
    Damn it!
**[01:58] ---**
    I'm giving you my Sharingan.
**[02:07] ---**
    Whatever the village may say…
**[02:10] ---**
    you are…a great jonin.
**[02:14] ---**
    That's how I really feel…
**[02:18] ---**
    So please accept it.
**[02:27] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[03:03] ---**
    – Rin!
    – Rin!
**[03:07] ---**
    *Again, you…*
**[03:09] ---**
    *Thank you, Rin.*
**[03:12] ---**
    *Obito and I will be*
    *joining you shortly.*
**[03:16] ---**
    *We can catch up then,*
    *the three of us together…*
**[03:23] ---**
    *Rin…*
**[03:24] ---**
    *This time, let's…*
**[03:27] ---**
    *spend some alone time together.*
    *Just you and me…*
**[03:35] ---**
    *Kakashi would just be in the way.*
**[03:38] ---**
    *I'll leave him here.*
**[03:46] ---**
    *This is…Kamui!*
**[03:50] ---**
    Obito! You!
**[03:55] ---**
    Kakashi…
    you stay here a little while longer.
**[04:03] ---**
    Don't you rush to follow us!
**[04:11] ---**
    Why, Obito?
**[04:14] ---**
    What am I even here for?
**[05:48] ---**
    *THE SHARINGAN REVIVED*
    
    
    
**[06:00] ---**
    This is embarrassing…
    Screwing up like that in front of you.
**[06:07] ---**
    It looks like
    you've calmed down a bit.
**[06:14] ---**
    Okay, Obito.
**[06:17] ---**
    Rin, do you mind waiting
    just a bit longer?
**[06:21] ---**
    Obito?
**[06:23] ---**
    Only a little bit before
    we move on…
**[06:27] ---**
    I'd like to make one more
    detour along the way.
**[06:32] ---**
    Who do you want to save this time?
**[06:35] ---**
    Kakashi.
**[06:38] ---**
    I've finally gotten alone time with you.
**[06:40] ---**
    It'll be wasted if he ends up
    coming here right away.
**[06:44] ---**
    Besides… He's out there helpless.
**[06:48] ---**
    Just like his namesake, he's a scarecrow
    in the middle of a garden…
**[06:52] ---**
    And I'm sort of annoyed by it.
**[06:55] ---**
    Despite all that's happened,
    you two are still close, huh?
**[06:59] ---**
    N-No way!
**[07:01] ---**
    We're oil and water!
**[07:06] ---**
    So?
**[07:07] ---**
    You can go just like that?
**[07:08] ---**
    Yeah…
**[07:10] ---**
    Chakra is an energy
    that connects two worlds.
**[07:14] ---**
    I'm gonna go see Kakashi!
**[07:17] ---**
    I'll be waiting right here.
**[07:19] ---**
    Sorry, Rin!
    I'll be right back!
**[07:37] ---**
    Obito?!
**[07:39] ---**
    Before I go to the next world,
    I thought I'd emphasize to you…
**[07:42] ---**
    to not to come
    running after me so quickly.
**[07:48] ---**
    Besides, it's going to
    keep bothering me
**[07:50] ---**
    if this eye I gave you to
    celebrate your promotion to jonin,
**[07:54] ---**
    came back to me.
**[07:56] ---**
    Obito, you…
**[07:59] ---**
    Then again, it's not like I'll be
    springing back to life anymore.
**[08:03] ---**
    More importantly,
**[08:05] ---**
    you know how I told Naruto
    to become Hokage?
**[08:09] ---**
    I meant to say as the Seventh.
**[08:12] ---**
    You be the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi.
**[08:18] ---**
    I know you haven't taken office yet,
    but I'm giving you your gift now.
**[08:23] ---**
    It has a fixed time limit,
    but it isn't useless.
**[08:27] ---**
    Do you get what I'm saying?
**[08:29] ---**
    I mean…you haven't forgotten
    your famous nickname
**[08:32] ---**
    that's known throughout
    the lands, have you?
**[08:39] ---**
    That name, Kakashi of the Sharingan!
**[08:57] ---**
    Let's do this, guys!
**[09:03] ---**
    Mmhm.
**[09:05] ---**
    Yes!
**[09:08] ---**
    Yup!
**[09:10] ---**
    All right!
**[09:12] ---**
    Roger.
**[09:14] ---**
    Sure thing!
**[09:15] ---**
    Gotcha!
**[09:17] ---**
    Yeah!
**[09:18] ---**
    Here we go!
**[09:26] ---**
    Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast
    Rasen-Shuriken!
**[09:42] ---**
    Nice, Naruto!
**[09:48] ---**
    *There's no way they can*
    *come out of that unscathed.*
**[10:04] ---**
    Oh no! Don't tell me Mother's—!
**[10:07] ---**
    What's that?
**[10:19] ---**
    She turned into
    another gigantic thing?
**[10:22] ---**
    What is that?
**[10:24] ---**
    A wolf? Tanuki?
**[10:26] ---**
    Badger? Or a rabbit?
**[10:28] ---**
    It doesn't matter.
    Now it's easier to get close.
**[10:33] ---**
    And it'll be easier to seal her!
**[10:35] ---**
    *It's not…humanoid?*
**[10:37] ---**
    *Mother didn't transform into*
    *Ten Tails of her own will.*
**[10:41] ---**
    *Are the Tailed Beasts*
    *within her resonating*
**[10:44] ---**
    *in response to Naruto's attack*
    *and starting to split apart?*
**[10:47] ---**
    *They're not stable!*
**[11:00] ---**
    Sasuke, don't get grabbed
    by that white hand!
**[11:03] ---**
    It will absorb you instantly!
**[11:05] ---**
    And it's fast too!
**[11:06] ---**
    I know that!
**[11:14] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[11:15] ---**
    Protect Sakura with
    your Visual Prowess!
**[11:25] ---**
    All right, way to go!
**[11:27] ---**
    A Susano'o?! Whose was it?
**[11:30] ---**
    W-What? That wasn't you?!
**[11:34] ---**
    *What's going on?!*
**[11:39] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[11:41] ---**
    *Thank you…Obito.*
**[11:45] ---**
    That's impossible. No way!
**[11:47] ---**
    Sure it is!
**[11:49] ---**
    We are talking about the Copy Ninja,
    Kakashi of the Sharingan!
**[11:54] ---**
    But he shouldn't have
    the Sharingan anymore…
**[11:57] ---**
    I don't get it, but he saved me!
**[12:01] ---**
    *You watch along with me.*
**[12:04] ---**
    *This time, I'll protect them…*
**[12:07] ---**
    *and the world!*
**[12:26] ---**
    Here it comes!
**[12:31] ---**
    *How about this?*
**[12:32] ---**
    *Combining the power*
    *of the Kamui into…*
**[12:34] ---**
    *shuriken!*
**[12:37] ---**
    Kamui Shuriken!
**[12:50] ---**
    Just as I thought…
**[12:52] ---**
    Gaining Six Path's power enhances
    one's Visual Prowess too!
**[12:56] ---**
    *This power…*
    *It's Obito's Sharingan?*
**[12:59] ---**
    *But why does*
    *Kakashi Sensei have it?*
**[13:02] ---**
    Wow!
**[13:03] ---**
    That's more amazing
    than yours, Sasuke!
**[13:06] ---**
    *This chakra is—!*
**[13:55] ---**
    This Root Time-Space is
    Mother's exclusive domain,
**[13:58] ---**
    where she can
    directly extract chakra
**[14:01] ---**
    from shinobi trapped in
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[14:05] ---**
    The Tailed Beasts are now stable,
**[14:07] ---**
    and Mother has even produced
    a Truthseeker Orb…
**[14:10] ---**
    An Expansive Kekkei Moura
    Truthseeker Orb
**[14:14] ---**
    that contains
    each and every nature…
**[14:16] ---**
    Wind, fire, earth, lightning,
    water, shadow, and light.
**[14:18] ---**
    It is the beginning of
    a new Time-Space.
**[14:21] ---**
    And you all will
    become its sacrifice!
**[14:31] ---**
    That thing!
**[14:32] ---**
    It's the same sphere
    as the one behind me!
**[14:35] ---**
    The difference in size is too drastic!
**[14:37] ---**
    And it's growing rapidly!
**[14:41] ---**
    I definitely can't teleport away such
    a gigantic object with the Kamui.
**[14:45] ---**
    Even if we get out of this Time-Space
    and escape temporarily…
**[14:49] ---**
    If that thing becomes too big,
    we won't be able to return here.
**[14:54] ---**
    In order to stop that…
**[14:56] ---**
    We need to seal
    that Rabbit Granny away right now!
**[15:00] ---**
    You're right.
**[15:02] ---**
    Gather 'round. I've got a plan.
**[15:05] ---**
    This will be our last mission
    as the former Squad 7!
**[15:20] ---**
    We're going to save the world!
**[15:23] ---**
    Yeah!
**[15:23] ---**
    Roger!
**[15:26] ---**
    I am immortal.
**[15:29] ---**
    If either of you die,
    you cannot seal me away.
**[15:33] ---**
    Now then...
**[15:37] ---**
    Which shall it be?
**[15:41] ---**
    You're mine, damn it!
**[15:43] ---**
    No, we attack her together.
**[15:45] ---**
    She's scared of being sealed
    and her attention will be divided!
**[15:49] ---**
    Take me part of the way.
    Then I'll fly the rest of the way.
**[15:51] ---**
    Right!
**[16:02] ---**
    *So fast!*
**[16:05] ---**
    Mother just gained more power.
**[16:07] ---**
    Both her power and speed
    are now exponentially greater!
**[16:24] ---**
    *Being able to pass through things,*
    *really is a handy ability, Obito…*
**[16:31] ---**
    *And now, I can resurrect this move too!*
**[16:38] ---**
    *Kamui Lightning Blade!*
**[16:42] ---**
    Mother!
**[16:43] ---**
    *This is bad!*
    *Her right arm!*
**[16:56] ---**
    *There's not enough time to escape*
    *into another Time-Space!*
**[17:00] ---**
    *Then!*
**[17:18] ---**
    *So they were both*
    *Ashura's reincarnates, after all.*
**[17:22] ---**
    *They must have,*
    *switched back then.*
**[17:25] ---**
    *So then, the one on the right*
    *is the real one!*
**[17:37] ---**
    Kamui!
**[17:57] ---**
    *Not good.*
**[18:05] ---**
    *I'll go to the Ice World…*
**[18:07] ---**
    *No…*
**[18:08] ---**
    *The Indra reincarnate*
    *possesses the Amaterasu…*
**[18:12] ---**
    *That wouldn't be good!*
**[18:17] ---**
    *Don't forget about me!*
    *We're both women…*
**[18:20] ---**
    *so don't mock me!*
**[18:27] ---**
    *Naruto…Sasuke…Sakura!*
**[18:48] ---**
    *A silly prank…*
**[18:50] ---**
    *Still, if this prank*
    *was the result of teamwork…*
**[18:55] ---**
    He fell for it!
**[18:57] ---**
    *So Naruto's the perp.*
**[18:59] ---**
    I'm so sorry, Sensei.
    I tried to stop him, but Naruto…
**[19:03] ---**
    *Sakura makes excuses*
    *and tries to protect herself.*
**[19:08] ---**
    *Sasuke minds his own business.*
**[19:10] ---**
    *He probably doesn't*
    *consider them comrades.*
**[19:13] ---**
    *There's not*
    *a shred of teamwork…*
**[19:17] ---**
    How do I put this…
**[19:18] ---**
    My first impression of you guys
    is not good!
**[19:22] ---**
    I'll go! I'll go!
**[19:24] ---**
    I'm Naruto Uzumaki!
    I love instant ramen.
**[19:28] ---**
    But I love the ramen at Ichiraku that
    Iruka Sensei treats me to even more!
**[19:33] ---**
    And I hate having to wait three minutes
    after pouring in the hot water.
**[19:37] ---**
    My future dream is…
**[19:40] ---**
    to surpass the Hokage!
**[19:42] ---**
    And that's why
**[19:43] ---**
    I'm going to make everyone in
    the village acknowledge me!
**[19:48] ---**
    My name is Sasuke Uchiha.
**[19:50] ---**
    I have lots of dislikes,
**[19:53] ---**
    but no likes in particular.
**[19:55] ---**
    And I don't feel like summing up
    my ambition as just a dream,
**[19:59] ---**
    but I do have an ambition.
**[20:01] ---**
    The ambition to restore my clan
    and to kill a certain man without fail!
**[20:09] ---**
    I'm Sakura Haruno.
**[20:11] ---**
    What I like…
    I mean, who I like is…
**[20:17] ---**
    My future dream is…
**[20:26] ---**
    They're all wrapped up
    in themselves.
**[20:29] ---**
    They're far from
    working together as a team.
**[20:40] ---**
    Although we were just like that…
**[20:48] ---**
    Oh well, I'll just have
    to do what I can.
**[20:51] ---**
    *Yup… You guys make*
    *a pretty picture right now.*
**[20:55] ---**
    Now!
**[20:57] ---**
    Cha!
**[20:58] ---**
    All right!
**[21:02] ---**
    *I really love you guys!*
**[22:40] ---**
    We finally made it out!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Kurama!
    Your Jinchuriki sure gets it done!
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Now it's happily ever after!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Yeah!
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Hold on a sec!
    What about us?
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    How are we supposed to
    get out of this Time-Space?
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Oh, you're right!
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Congratulations"
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    But…he's still pretty dumb,
    isn't he?
    
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS

**[00:14] ---**
    *Don't forget about me!*
**[00:15] ---**
    *We're both women,*
    *so don't mock me!*
**[00:22] ---**
    *Naruto…Sasuke…Sakura!*
**[00:27] ---**
    *You guys make*
    *a nice picture right now.*
**[00:33] ---**
    *I really love you guys!*
**[00:35] ---**
    Now!
**[00:36] ---**
    Cha!
**[00:38] ---**
    All right!
**[00:48] ---**
    Six Paths Planetary Devastation!
**[00:53] ---**
    *To think that I,*
    *the originator of chakra…*
**[00:59] ---**
    *would be defeated by pieces of*
    *my own chakra, again…*
**[01:10] ---**
    *Why?!*
**[01:17] ---**
    *Hmm? They've done it!*
**[01:20] ---**
    *All that's left is to bring*
    *you all back!*
**[02:07] ---**
    Is the ground being
    sucked up towards her?
**[02:18] ---**
    We finally made it out!
**[02:20] ---**
    Kurama, your Jinchuriki's pretty good.
**[04:19] ---**
    *CONGRATULATIONS*
    
    
    
**[04:24] ---**
    Over here!
**[04:31] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[04:34] ---**
    What happened to Naruto?
**[04:37] ---**
    He went off by himself,
**[04:38] ---**
    saying there was something
    he had to take care of.
**[04:41] ---**
    More importantly, we need to
    get farther away from here!
**[04:47] ---**
    *At this point, it can't be helped.*
**[04:49] ---**
    *I'll just start over and work on*
    *Mother's next resurrection!*
**[04:54] ---**
    That reminds me,
**[04:56] ---**
    you don't like being separated
    from your mom, right?
**[04:58] ---**
    D-Damn you!
**[05:01] ---**
    I haven't forgotten about you.
**[05:03] ---**
    Hiding in the shadows
    and creeping around for all this time!
**[05:08] ---**
    You!
**[05:10] ---**
    You're just a piece of
    the shinobi history I created.
**[05:13] ---**
    A brat like you could never…!
**[05:18] ---**
    History?
**[05:23] ---**
    Shinobi history…
**[05:26] ---**
    consists of all sorts of ninja's lives,
    and deaths!
**[05:31] ---**
    Many shinobi taught me
    what it means to be a shinobi.
**[05:36] ---**
    The pain and sadness of death…
    the tragedy of war.
**[05:40] ---**
    And not only that!
**[05:41] ---**
    They taught me the joy of
    being accepted and being loved!
**[05:53] ---**
    The way they lived…
    and the way they died…
**[05:57] ---**
    made me who I am!
**[05:59] ---**
    They taught me and trusted me!
**[06:03] ---**
    You're a brat who
    can't even leave the nest!
**[06:07] ---**
    Get over yourself!
**[06:29] ---**
    It's still growing.
**[06:31] ---**
    It's like a moon.
**[06:36] ---**
    Guys!
**[06:37] ---**
    It's over.
**[06:39] ---**
    The seal is complete!
**[06:41] ---**
    We can finally celebrate!
**[06:44] ---**
    You're right.
**[06:48] ---**
    The first thing I want is a hot bath
**[06:50] ---**
    to wash away all
    this sweat and grime.
**[06:53] ---**
    Hold on a sec!
    What about us?!
**[06:56] ---**
    How are we supposed to
    get out of this Time-Space?!
**[06:58] ---**
    Oh no! You're right!
    This is bad! This is bad!
**[07:01] ---**
    He does whatever
    needs to get done.
**[07:03] ---**
    But he's still pretty dumb, isn't he?
**[07:23] ---**
    Summoning Jutsu!
**[07:52] ---**
    Welcome home, Naruto.
**[07:55] ---**
    Dad…
**[08:03] ---**
    Naruto, who's this?
**[08:06] ---**
    Six Paths Super Gramps!
**[08:08] ---**
    Which means…
**[08:10] ---**
    That's right,
    you're back in your world
**[08:13] ---**
    through a Summoning performed
    by all prior Five Kage together.
**[08:18] ---**
    I called all of
    the previous Five Kage
**[08:21] ---**
    from the afterworld to help.
**[08:26] ---**
    Naruto, Sasuke…
**[08:29] ---**
    and the rest of you…
**[08:31] ---**
    Excellent work saving the world.
**[08:38] ---**
    Six Paths Super Gramps?
**[08:40] ---**
    Are you by any chance
    the legendary…?
**[08:43] ---**
    I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
**[08:46] ---**
    Also known as
    the Sage of the Six Paths.
**[08:51] ---**
    No wonder…you're levitating.
**[08:53] ---**
    At this point,
    nothing shocks me anymore.
**[08:57] ---**
    It seems like everything
    went well.
**[09:02] ---**
    The Shinobi World sure went to
    hell while we were dead.
**[09:06] ---**
    Damn it!
**[09:08] ---**
    It's the first time I've seen so many
    Tailed Beasts together in one place!
**[09:12] ---**
    The Sage of the Six Paths, eh…
**[09:14] ---**
    It feels like we've wandered
    into a fairy tale!
**[09:18] ---**
    So you are the one, after all.
**[09:21] ---**
    Summoning the past
    Five Kage here and...
**[09:24] ---**
    being able to bring the Tailed Beasts
    and us back from the other Time-Space…
**[09:28] ---**
    You're probably the only person
    who could perform such godly actions.
**[09:33] ---**
    Are you Kakashi Hatake?
**[09:35] ---**
    Oh…yes.
**[09:37] ---**
    Good job guiding everyone and
    sealing my mother away.
**[09:42] ---**
    That truly was the work of gods.
**[09:45] ---**
    Oh, no.
**[09:47] ---**
    I hardly played any part at all.
**[09:50] ---**
    It was these three
    and many comrades.
**[09:56] ---**
    And…a former friend also
    lent me strength.
**[10:03] ---**
    That's why I said you
    guided everyone well.
**[10:07] ---**
    Despite losing your way,
**[10:09] ---**
    you remained Naruto's teacher
    and Obito's friend.
**[10:14] ---**
    Or else, you likely wouldn't have
    succeeded in stopping my mother.
**[10:22] ---**
    Hey! Kurama!
**[10:25] ---**
    Were you lonely being
    separated from me?
**[10:28] ---**
    I missed you!
**[10:30] ---**
    Don't talk so loud!
**[10:32] ---**
    I wasn't lonely.
**[10:33] ---**
    You have half of me
    inside you…remember?
**[10:40] ---**
    Just look at Kurama,
    all embarrassed and flustered!
**[10:43] ---**
    But this is exactly
    what I had once envisioned.
**[10:48] ---**
    That there would one day
    be a shinobi,
**[10:51] ---**
    who could move even
    the Tailed Beasts to cooperate.
**[10:57] ---**
    Even Obito was Naruto's doing…
**[11:00] ---**
    He restored Obito.
**[11:04] ---**
    I see…
**[11:06] ---**
    Then I shall ask Obito to tell me
    that tale in the afterworld.
**[11:14] ---**
    Is he still…?
**[11:24] ---**
    I‘m gonna get going soon.
**[11:27] ---**
    Yeah…
**[11:30] ---**
    I really made a mess out
    of the Shinobi World.
**[11:35] ---**
    So much that I don't even know
    what to say to you before I go.
**[11:48] ---**
    We're able to say goodbye
    as friends, not enemies.
**[11:52] ---**
    To the old you…
**[11:54] ---**
    the one who was always late
    because you were helping others.
**[11:57] ---**
    That's plenty enough for me.
**[12:07] ---**
    Thanks, Kakashi.
**[12:17] ---**
    I'll be going then.
**[12:22] ---**
    I've been keeping Rin waiting.
**[12:27] ---**
    Do you have an excuse ready?
**[12:32] ---**
    I told her beforehand
    I'd be helping you.
**[12:38] ---**
    I see…
**[12:47] ---**
    *Same here…*
**[12:51] ---**
    *Thank you, Obito.*
**[13:01] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[13:04] ---**
    Sakura… Thank you.
**[13:07] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei, your eyes!
**[13:09] ---**
    Yeah…
**[13:12] ---**
    As of today, Kakashi of
    the Sharingan is no more.
**[13:30] ---**
    Madara was a Jinchuriki.
    Even if it was temporary…
**[13:34] ---**
    emptied of the Tailed Beast,
    he won't last long.
**[13:38] ---**
    It's his fault for trying
    to use such things.
**[13:42] ---**
    Sasuke, Naruto…
**[13:45] ---**
    Behold, the end of
    your predecessors.
**[13:48] ---**
    You should watch this closely.
**[13:55] ---**
    Is that you, Hashirama?
**[14:07] ---**
    I guess neither you,
    nor I could achieve what we wanted.
**[14:16] ---**
    It's never that easy!
**[14:20] ---**
    Our job is to do all that we can,
    while we're alive.
**[14:24] ---**
    And then, bequeath the rest for
    future generations to accomplish.
**[14:31] ---**
    So naïve…
**[14:34] ---**
    as usual.
**[14:38] ---**
    You…were always…the optimist.
**[14:47] ---**
    But perhaps…
**[14:49] ---**
    that is the correct path.
**[14:56] ---**
    My dream…
**[14:59] ---**
    was squashed.
**[15:01] ---**
    But your dream…
**[15:06] ---**
    still lives on.
**[15:10] ---**
    We were both too hasty.
**[15:12] ---**
    We didn't need to fulfill
    our dreams ourselves.
**[15:16] ---**
    It was more important to cultivate
    those who would come after us…
**[15:19] ---**
    to whom we could entrust
    our dreams.
**[15:23] ---**
    Which means I would
    have failed anyway.
**[15:29] ---**
    Since I always hated someone…
    standing behind me…
**[15:38] ---**
    When we were kids…
**[15:40] ---**
    You once said we're shinobi
**[15:42] ---**
    and we don't know
    when we'll die.
**[15:46] ---**
    And that for neither side to die,
**[15:48] ---**
    we'd both have to reveal
    what's inside of us
**[15:51] ---**
    and pour each other drinks
    to toast like brothers.
**[15:57] ---**
    But we're both about to die.
**[16:00] ---**
    Right now, we can drink together,
    as war buddies.
**[16:10] ---**
    War buddies…huh?
**[16:16] ---**
    Well…
**[16:19] ---**
    I guess…that's okay…
**[16:24] ---**
    by…
**[16:45] ---**
    This is the perfect moment.
**[16:47] ---**
    I will release the jutsu,
    free the Five Kages
**[16:50] ---**
    and those under the Reanimation.
**[17:01] ---**
    Go.
**[17:13] ---**
    Dad…
**[17:16] ---**
    Oh, that's right.
**[17:17] ---**
    I've been meaning to tell you…
**[17:44] ---**
    Happy birthday!
**[17:49] ---**
    You've become
    a splendid young man, Naruto
**[17:56] ---**
    Yeah… Thank you.
**[17:59] ---**
    We're an existence outside
    of the rules.
**[18:02] ---**
    We can't remain
    in this world forever.
**[18:07] ---**
    It's time to say good-bye.
**[18:20] ---**
    I promise to tell
    Kushina everything.
**[18:37] ---**
    Tell her not to worry.
    I'm eating properly!
**[18:42] ---**
    I'm not picky and eat
    lots of different stuff!
**[18:45] ---**
    Like, tonkotsu ramen,
    miso ramen, and shoyu ramen…
**[18:49] ---**
    Oh but, not just ramen though!
**[18:53] ---**
    I try to bathe every day!
**[18:55] ---**
    I go to the Leaf Hot Springs
    once in a while too!
**[18:57] ---**
    Although everyone just says
    I only take quick dips…
**[19:02] ---**
    What else, what else…
**[19:04] ---**
    I've made lots of friends!
**[19:06] ---**
    And they're all good guys!
**[19:09] ---**
    And…
**[19:10] ---**
    I was really awful at school,
    but I never got depressed and
**[19:15] ---**
    had more confidence
    than anyone else!
**[19:19] ---**
    Naturally, I always obeyed
**[19:21] ---**
    Lord Third and Kakashi Sensei.
**[19:24] ---**
    I respect them both!
**[19:25] ---**
    They're right here,
    so you can ask them yourself!
**[19:29] ---**
    Oh! And those
    Three Prohibitions of Shinobi?
**[19:32] ---**
    I learned a lot about that
    when I was with Pervy Sage!
**[19:36] ---**
    He was hopeless
    when it came to them though…
**[19:38] ---**
    but he was
    an awesome Sannin
**[19:41] ---**
    and I respect him the most!
**[19:45] ---**
    I just turned 17 today,
**[19:48] ---**
    so I don't know much
    about alcohol or girls…
**[19:52] ---**
    I know Mom said to find
    someone like her…
**[19:57] ---**
    But…that's…um…
**[20:03] ---**
    Anyways!
**[20:05] ---**
    Not everything
    Mom told me about went well,
**[20:08] ---**
    but I'm doing the best I can!
**[20:10] ---**
    I've got dreams too!
**[20:12] ---**
    I'm gonna become an even
    greater Hokage than you, Dad!
**[20:15] ---**
    I swear I will!
**[20:25] ---**
    So when you see Mom over there,
    please tell her…
**[20:29] ---**
    that she doesn't have to
    worry about me at all!
**[20:33] ---**
    Tell her I'm doin' my best!
**[20:37] ---**
    Got it…
**[20:39] ---**
    I'll make sure
    to tell her everything.
**[22:42] ---**
    Having fought
    my mother Kaguya…
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Is there any change to
    the answers you gave me?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    My answer's the same.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    Now then, Sasuke…
    What about you?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Yes, but first…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    the current Five Kage inside
    the Infinite Tsukuyomi…
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Final Valley"
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    What did you just say, Sasuke?!
    
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    THE FINAL VALLEY
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *THE FINAL VALLEY*
    
    
    
**[02:22] ---**
    We're leaving the rest to you…
    Kakashi, Sakura…
**[02:27] ---**
    Sasuke and Naruto.
**[02:31] ---**
    Lord Third!
**[02:33] ---**
    Elder Brother, you finally
    settled things with Madara.
**[02:37] ---**
    As Saru said…
**[02:39] ---**
    let's leave the rest
    to the next generation.
**[02:51] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki…*
**[02:55] ---**
    *Sasuke Uchiha…*
**[02:57] ---**
    *You two will probably find*
    *a different conclusion than we did.*
**[03:02] ---**
    *No…make sure you do.*
**[03:22] ---**
    Now, we're free too!
**[03:25] ---**
    I'm going back to Suirendo!
**[03:29] ---**
    I'm going to seclude myself in a forest.
**[03:32] ---**
    We can finally go back to our homes.
**[03:36] ---**
    It's like a dream.
**[03:40] ---**
    Eight Tails, what are you gonna do?
**[03:43] ---**
    Me? Well…
**[03:50] ---**
    I think I'm gonna go back to Bee.
**[03:53] ---**
    Even his annoying rap
    has ended up growing on me.
**[03:58] ---**
    So, what about you?
**[04:03] ---**
    What will you do?
**[04:06] ---**
    I'll…
**[04:12] ---**
    A little piece of each of your chakra…
**[04:15] ---**
    is already within Naruto.
**[04:19] ---**
    In short, Naruto is like
    a gathering place for you.
**[04:23] ---**
    If you want to discuss something,
**[04:25] ---**
    you can speak to each other through
    your chakra inside Naruto.
**[04:29] ---**
    Kurama…
**[04:30] ---**
    Hmm?
**[04:32] ---**
    I'd like you to stay inside Naruto as
    the overseer of the gathering place.
**[04:38] ---**
    It's no longer a hardship
    for you anymore, is it?
**[04:41] ---**
    Well, if you say so, old man,
    I guess have no choice.
**[04:48] ---**
    What?!
    What's so funny?
**[04:51] ---**
    Still not upfront with your feelings…
    You haven't changed at all, Kurama.
**[04:58] ---**
    So the Great Ninja War
    is finally over now.
**[05:02] ---**
    Yes. All that's left is…
**[05:05] ---**
    Naruto and Sasuke…
    I asked you before.
**[05:10] ---**
    After battling my mother Kaguya,
**[05:13] ---**
    is there any change to
    the answers you gave me?
**[05:19] ---**
    My answer's the same.
**[05:22] ---**
    And I'm sorry, Super Gramps,
**[05:24] ---**
    but there is one thing I feel
    strongly about after fighting Kaguya…
**[05:29] ---**
    I'm really glad that
    Kushina Uzumaki was my mom.
**[05:34] ---**
    Kaguya was different from
    anyone I've ever battled.
**[05:38] ---**
    It's like she didn't have a heart at all.
**[05:41] ---**
    It's said my mother Kaguya started off
    as a beloved goddess of the people.
**[05:48] ---**
    I do not know for sure what
    caused her to transform
**[05:50] ---**
    into a being that came to
    be called a demon.
**[05:53] ---**
    I suspect something was triggered
**[05:55] ---**
    the moment she devoured
    the Chakra Fruit.
**[06:00] ---**
    In any case,
    you are not like my mother.
**[06:03] ---**
    I trust you not to become like her,
**[06:06] ---**
    even with all of the Tailed Beast
    Chakra within you.
**[06:10] ---**
    Now then, all that's left is…
**[06:12] ---**
    to undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[06:15] ---**
    But how, specifically?
    Do you need our powers?
**[06:21] ---**
    No, you're fine.
**[06:23] ---**
    Naruto has the chakra
    of every Tailed Beast.
**[06:26] ---**
    And Sasuke possesses the Rinnegan.
**[06:28] ---**
    If they both weave
    the sign for rat simultaneously,
**[06:32] ---**
    the jutsu will be undone.
**[06:34] ---**
    What? That's it? It's so simple.
**[06:37] ---**
    I researched thoroughly how to
    undo Mother's Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[06:43] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[06:45] ---**
    Now then,
    the rest is up to you, Sasuke.
**[06:56] ---**
    Yes…
**[06:57] ---**
    But first, I'm executing the current
    Five Kage inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[07:16] ---**
    What did you just say, Sasuke?
**[07:20] ---**
    What about the Five Kage?
**[07:23] ---**
    Oh, and…
**[07:25] ---**
    I'm putting all of you Tailed Beasts
    under my control…
**[07:29] ---**
    and eventually,
    I'll get rid of you as well.
**[07:31] ---**
    What did you say?!
**[07:46] ---**
    Kurama!
**[07:48] ---**
    He put the Tailed Beasts
    in a genjutsu…
**[07:51] ---**
    and with a single glance too.
**[07:54] ---**
    Naruto, it has ended up
    as I expected.
**[07:58] ---**
    I have no choice
    but to leave the rest to you.
**[08:01] ---**
    I cannot stay in
    this world any longer.
**[08:04] ---**
    I shall soon fade away.
**[08:05] ---**
    Yeah, and sorry for saying this,
    Six Paths Super Gramps…
**[08:10] ---**
    but we won't end up like your sons.
**[08:14] ---**
    I'm not Ashura.
**[08:16] ---**
    And Sasuke isn't Indra either.
**[08:19] ---**
    Sasuke!
    Is this what your current dream is?
**[08:23] ---**
    Are you saying you're
    still seeking vengeance?
**[08:27] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[08:28] ---**
    I admit, at one time,
    all I wished for was destruction,
**[08:32] ---**
    and vengeance was my goal.
**[08:34] ---**
    But I feel differently now.
**[08:37] ---**
    I want to destroy, and rebuild.
**[08:41] ---**
    A village no longer
    shrouded in darkness.
**[08:43] ---**
    I'll reform the shinobi world.
**[08:48] ---**
    What I'm touting is…
**[08:53] ---**
    …revolution!
**[08:55] ---**
    Revolution?!
**[09:00] ---**
    *My dear Sasuke,*
    *what do you want to do?*
**[09:04] ---**
    *What is it that you seek*
    *in the aftermath of this war?*
**[09:08] ---**
    *I want to hear your honest thoughts*
    *and opinions.*
**[09:14] ---**
    *All of the previous Kage created*
    *these current circumstances.*
**[09:18] ---**
    *So I will become Hokage*
    *and change the village.*
**[09:24] ---**
    *This Hokage you speak of…*
    *What do you mean by it?*
**[09:29] ---**
    *If want to know so badly,*
    *I'll tell you.*
**[09:34] ---**
    Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!
**[09:59] ---**
    Naruto…
    It's on you!
**[10:02] ---**
    I swear
    I'll get you all out!
**[10:11] ---**
    Just hang in there
    a little while longer!
**[10:23] ---**
    Because of this war,
**[10:25] ---**
    I've become quite adept at
    using my Rinnegan's abilities.
**[10:30] ---**
    And all those who were
    in my way are gone.
**[10:37] ---**
    Except for you…
**[10:39] ---**
    Naruto.
**[10:42] ---**
    Things just don't go as planned.
**[10:45] ---**
    When I bequeathed power
    to just one side,
**[10:48] ---**
    I ended up with Indra and Ashura.
**[10:50] ---**
    This time, even after entrusting power
    to both, the result is the same.
**[11:01] ---**
    Nope… All sibling squabbling
    ends right here!
**[11:19] ---**
    Let the Tailed Beasts go.
    They've finally gained freedom.
**[11:46] ---**
    I'm friends with them, so I know.
**[11:49] ---**
    They won't cause trouble anymore.
**[11:51] ---**
    Naruto, you don't seem to get it.
**[11:57] ---**
    You're now the Jinchuriki
    of all the Tailed Beasts.
**[12:00] ---**
    Which means I plan to
    eventually get rid of
**[12:04] ---**
    the Tailed Beast Chakra
    inside of you too.
**[12:08] ---**
    What?!
**[12:10] ---**
    In other words,
    you're going to die, Naruto.
**[12:13] ---**
    Out of necessity.
**[12:18] ---**
    If what the Sage said was true,
    there's no need to use
**[12:22] ---**
    the Tailed Beast power inside you
    to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
**[12:27] ---**
    I can take advantage of
    the Tailed Beasts that I captured.
**[12:30] ---**
    I'll let them live until then.
**[12:33] ---**
    You know that I won't
    let you do that, right?
**[12:42] ---**
    I guess I'll have to
    deal with you first, Naruto.
**[12:48] ---**
    Let's move this elsewhere.
    You know, don't you?
**[12:57] ---**
    Wait, Sasuke!
**[12:59] ---**
    Sensei!
**[13:02] ---**
    *The lingering aftereffects*
    *of the Sharingan…*
**[13:26] ---**
    I…
**[13:27] ---**
    I know in my heart that
    there's nothing I can do!
**[13:31] ---**
    Even though I love you.
**[13:33] ---**
    Even though I care about you
    so much, Sasuke. And yet…
**[13:36] ---**
    I can't get close to you
    or exchange blows with you.
**[13:39] ---**
    I can only whine and beg
    and cry like this again.
**[13:43] ---**
    It's so pitiful, isn't it?
**[13:49] ---**
    *Sakura…*
**[13:52] ---**
    *Thank you.*
**[13:55] ---**
    But…But Sasuke!
**[13:58] ---**
    If there's even a little corner of
    your heart that thinks about me,
**[14:03] ---**
    please don't leave again!
**[14:06] ---**
    If we stick together,
    I know it can be like old times again…
**[14:13] ---**
    You're…
**[14:16] ---**
    …really annoying.
**[14:36] ---**
    Sakura!
**[14:37] ---**
    You didn't need to put Sakura
    under genjutsu!
**[14:40] ---**
    If I didn't,
**[14:42] ---**
    she would've chased after us,
    and gotten in the way.
**[14:46] ---**
    Sakura…Sakura just wanted
    to help you, all this time.
**[14:51] ---**
    So you're suggesting
    I enjoy a little romance?
**[14:54] ---**
    Well, I have no reason to love her
    or be loved by her.
**[14:58] ---**
    The only time you need a reason
    is when you hate someone!
**[15:02] ---**
    And Sakura's not trying to
    make you hers!
**[15:07] ---**
    She just wants to help you!
**[15:09] ---**
    She almost died
    by your hand.
**[15:12] ---**
    But she still thinks of your welfare
    and sheds tears for you…
**[15:16] ---**
    because she suffers from loving you!
**[15:22] ---**
    *Mom…*
**[15:25] ---**
    *How does Dad really feel*
    *about Big Brother and me?*
**[15:32] ---**
    *What makes you ask that*
    *out of the blue?*
**[15:34] ---**
    *The other day, he said to me,*
    *"That's my boy."*
**[15:40] ---**
    *He usually says that to Big Brother,*
    *so I was really happy.*
**[15:46] ---**
    *Is that so? That's nice.*
**[15:49] ---**
    *But recently, Dad and Big Brother*
    *haven't been getting along, so…*
**[15:56] ---**
    *I thought maybe I'm just*
    *a stand-in for Big Brother…*
**[16:06] ---**
    *Your brother is your brother,*
    *and you are you.*
**[16:10] ---**
    *Your father is always*
    *thinking about the both of you.*
**[16:14] ---**
    *Then why is it always*
    *about Big Brother?!*
**[16:16] ---**
    *That's not the case.*
**[16:18] ---**
    *Your father represents our clan,*
**[16:21] ---**
    *and he's expected to*
    *protect the Uchiha Clan.*
**[16:25] ---**
    *So what?*
**[16:26] ---**
    *It's just that Itachi is older than you,*
    *and your senior.*
**[16:30] ---**
    *So he's given more duties*
    *relating to the clan.*
**[16:34] ---**
    *Since your father*
    *oversees those duties,*
**[16:38] ---**
    *it's only natural that his eyes*
    *will be more focused on Itachi.*
**[16:42] ---**
    *But this is just between us…*
**[16:45] ---**
    *When your father is with me,*
    *all he talks about is you.*
**[16:51] ---**
    *He's always so serious,*
**[16:53] ---**
    *and just not very good at*
    *expressing his feelings.*
**[17:08] ---**
    *Here's your lunch, Sasuke.*
**[17:11] ---**
    *When you come home,*
    *I'll watch over your shuriken practice.*
**[17:16] ---**
    *It's not practice. It's training.*
**[17:18] ---**
    *I'm leaving!*
**[17:20] ---**
    *Have a great day.*
**[17:24] ---**
    Perhaps, those are the ties
    to a failed past.
**[17:32] ---**
    *Sasuke!*
**[17:34] ---**
    I made a promise.
**[17:37] ---**
    Long ago…to Sakura.
**[17:40] ---**
    *I'll definitely bring Sasuke back!*
**[17:44] ---**
    *I swear on my life!*
**[17:47] ---**
    Sensei! You know about
    my Ninja Way, right?
**[17:51] ---**
    I'm gonna go.
**[17:54] ---**
    Yeah… We're counting on you.
**[18:07] ---**
    Love is a difficult thing…
**[18:11] ---**
    I once had two sons.
**[18:14] ---**
    I loved them both,
    and they loved and revered me.
**[18:18] ---**
    But I entrusted everything
    to the younger brother.
**[18:22] ---**
    That became the impetus
**[18:23] ---**
    for the older brother to begin
    hating his brother and me.
**[18:27] ---**
    Love transformed into hate.
**[18:31] ---**
    What molded the current Sasuke,
**[18:34] ---**
    is none other than
    his loss of love in the past.
**[18:38] ---**
    Madara was the same too.
**[18:42] ---**
    Are you saying that Sasuke shares
    the same fate as Madara?
**[18:47] ---**
    No, not at all.
**[18:49] ---**
    I, too, want to make the future
    better in my own way.
**[18:54] ---**
    Having learned from past mistakes,
    this time I gave both of them the power.
**[19:01] ---**
    The past does not exist
**[19:03] ---**
    to remind the present that
    the future cannot change.
**[19:06] ---**
    The past is supposed to exist
    for the sake of the future.
**[19:08] ---**
    How did you see the potential
    within Naruto?
**[19:12] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki…
**[19:16] ---**
    The boy was able to save
    and befriend Kurama,
**[19:20] ---**
    who had become
    a concretion of hatred.
**[19:23] ---**
    I shall let Naruto handle this.
**[19:26] ---**
    Since I hope that hate can be
    transformed into love this time.
**[19:31] ---**
    Or rather, I have hope that
    love can be regained.
**[19:39] ---**
    Because, unlike my mother,
    Naruto as well as Sasuke…
**[19:45] ---**
    know what love is.
**[19:48] ---**
    This place, huh?
    I should've figured.
**[19:50] ---**
    Doesn't it bring back memories,
    Sasuke?
**[19:53] ---**
    Long ago, we fought here.
**[19:58] ---**
    And just like before,
    you're going to lose.
**[20:03] ---**
    You won't be hitting me with
    that same punch as last time!
**[20:07] ---**
    I'm not about to let you get away
    with whatever you want.
**[20:12] ---**
    I won't let you become
    the Hokage, either!
**[20:16] ---**
    You don't even understand
    what it means to be Hokage!
**[20:20] ---**
    I told you, that to me,
    being Hokage means revolution.
**[20:23] ---**
    It's totally different from what you think.
**[20:27] ---**
    Let me tell you something
    your big brother said…
**[20:31] ---**
    It's not the one who
    becomes Hokage
**[20:33] ---**
    who gets acknowledged by all.
**[20:35] ---**
    But it's the one acknowledged by all
    who becomes Hokage.
**[20:40] ---**
    I learned not from Itachi's words,
    but from the way he lived his life.
**[20:46] ---**
    You and I came up
    with different answers.
**[20:49] ---**
    Let me clarify this
    before we battle…
**[20:53] ---**
    I'll teach you exactly what being
    Hokage means to me.
**[22:40] ---**
    You don't understand the way
    Itachi lived his life at all!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Itachi is now in my past.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    I will cut off everything
    in my past right here…
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Starting with cutting you down.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Yours will be
    the last blood I shed…
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    in the memory
    of my late older brother.
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Final Battle"
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    I won't let you!
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    THE FINAL BATTLE
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:37] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[00:41] ---**
    *Sometimes your eyes*
    *are better than mine.*
**[00:46] ---**
    *Sasuke is in the darkness*
    *right now…*
**[00:51] ---**
    *Go…*
**[00:53] ---**
    *You're the only one*
    *who can save him.*
**[00:58] ---**
    Yeah…
**[01:00] ---**
    I know.
**[02:33] ---**
    *The Final Battle*
    
    
**[03:01] ---**
    My explanation of
    what it means to be Hokage
**[03:03] ---**
    represents my response.
**[03:05] ---**
    The way Itachi lived
    led me to this answer.
**[03:09] ---**
    To protect the Land of Fire
    and the Leaf Village,
**[03:13] ---**
    he sacrificed both
    his clan and himself.
**[03:16] ---**
    First, I needed to know why.
**[03:19] ---**
    What is this Land and Village
    that he would go so far to protect?
**[03:24] ---**
    The previous Hokage said…
**[03:27] ---**
    …that the village is a framework
**[03:30] ---**
    created to stop the slaughter
    of clans and children…
**[03:34] ---**
    …a framework that was
    supposed to lead to peace.
**[03:37] ---**
    Itachi tried to sustain
    that peace all by himself.
**[03:41] ---**
    That's when I finally understood…
**[03:44] ---**
    Suffering bitter experiences,
    living in darkness
**[03:46] ---**
    as a criminal and traitor
    against Land and Village…
**[03:50] ---**
    He was a shinobi
    who took on all hatred
**[03:52] ---**
    and protected the Land of Fire and
    the Leaf Village from the shadows.
**[03:56] ---**
    I feel he was the true Hokage.
**[04:03] ---**
    It's not the one who is
    acknowledged by all…
**[04:06] ---**
    …but the one who
    accepts all the hatred
**[04:09] ---**
    that is worthy of that title.
**[04:11] ---**
    I eventually came to understand
    Itachi's feelings
**[04:15] ---**
    for his Land and Village.
**[04:18] ---**
    My big brother failed
    in just one aspect.
**[04:20] ---**
    He let me,
    his little brother, live.
**[04:22] ---**
    Unable to hide the truth from me,
**[04:25] ---**
    he allowed the hatred
    to disseminate.
**[04:31] ---**
    However… I'm not like
    my Big Brother anymore.
**[04:35] ---**
    I have no father, mother, brother…
**[04:37] ---**
    not even a single member
    of my clan.
**[04:42] ---**
    I am all alone.
**[04:47] ---**
    I alone can bear the weight
    of all the hatred now.
**[04:52] ---**
    And I alone will deal
    with everything personally.
**[04:55] ---**
    I will handle all of
    the shinobi's problems.
**[04:59] ---**
    I will also dispense
    all judgment and punishment.
**[05:04] ---**
    I'll concentrate
    all hatred upon myself…
**[05:07] ---**
    …and bring together every
    single village under my control.
**[05:11] ---**
    Hatred inside darkness
    cannot be eliminated.
**[05:15] ---**
    In which case, I'd rather…
**[05:23] ---**
    That's right…
    What the Hokage is to me…
**[05:26] ---**
    …is someone who will sear away
    the darkness of all Five Villages
**[05:28] ---**
    with only his own flame.
**[05:30] ---**
    And then keeps living
    by eating the ashes.
**[05:33] ---**
    And you think everyone will just
    sit back and say "yes" to that?
**[05:38] ---**
    I told you already…
**[05:40] ---**
    I don't care what you
    or anyone else thinks.
**[05:44] ---**
    Besides, I have the power now
    to control it all.
**[05:47] ---**
    You don't have a clue
    about how Itachi lived!
**[05:52] ---**
    There are things
    you can't do alone!
**[05:54] ---**
    Just like our battle with Kaguya!
**[06:00] ---**
    But things don't always go well…
**[06:02] ---**
    Like with these two stone statues
**[06:06] ---**
    *And us two brothers…*
**[06:10] ---**
    With revolution…
**[06:12] ---**
    …the villages will no longer
    have to bear darkness.
**[06:15] ---**
    And I alone
    will become the darkness.
**[06:17] ---**
    I'll dispose of the deep darkness
    of the past,
**[06:21] ---**
    and build a pure white future
    from scratch.
**[06:24] ---**
    You mean by killing
    the Tailed Beasts,
**[06:27] ---**
    and the Five Kage?!
**[06:29] ---**
    Exactly.
**[06:31] ---**
    I'm casting off the past.
**[06:35] ---**
    You're saying you can pretend
    nothing ever happened with Itachi?
**[06:40] ---**
    You and Itachi were brothers,
    and a lot happened between you…
**[06:44] ---**
    That's what made you
    who you are today!
**[06:46] ---**
    Itachi is now in my past.
**[06:50] ---**
    I'm cutting all past mistakes and
    doubts here, and starting anew.
**[06:55] ---**
    Beginning by cutting you down.
**[06:58] ---**
    Yours will be
    the last blood I shed,
**[07:01] ---**
    in the memory of my late brother.
**[07:08] ---**
    I won't…let you kill me.
**[07:11] ---**
    I learned everything I know
    from the people of my past!
**[07:16] ---**
    Especially about how to figure out
    what to do after making a mistake.
**[07:21] ---**
    *You said you consider*
    *Sasuke a brother.*
**[07:24] ---**
    *That's why, Naruto,*
**[07:26] ---**
    *I believe you are the only one*
    *who can stop Sasuke.*
**[07:30] ---**
    *I'm leaving Sasuke to you.*
**[07:33] ---**
    That's why…
**[07:35] ---**
    I won't let you kill me.
**[07:47] ---**
    Lord Sage!
**[07:49] ---**
    It seems it's almost time.
**[07:52] ---**
    What…
**[07:54] ---**
    What should I be doing?
**[07:56] ---**
    Just continue to have faith.
**[07:59] ---**
    Right now, that is all we can do.
**[08:14] ---**
    *What you do and what transpires,*
    *will be up to the two of you.*
**[08:19] ---**
    *Sasuke and I aren't real brothers,*
**[08:23] ---**
    *but I think we can make peace*
    *with each other.*
**[08:26] ---**
    *Now that Itachi's gone,*
**[08:27] ---**
    *I feel like I'm finally,*
    *truly alone.*
**[08:30] ---**
    *But with Naruto,*
**[08:32] ---**
    *he's the one person*
    *I have to cut down.*
**[08:36] ---**
    *My version of the Hokage*
    *can only come to be*
**[08:38] ---**
    *by severing all bonds*
    *and being alone.*
**[08:41] ---**
    *Why?*
**[08:43] ---**
    *Because…*
**[08:44] ---**
    *Because to me…*
**[08:46] ---**
    *…we're really good friends.*
**[08:48] ---**
    *…he is still my closest friend.*
**[08:57] ---**
    *Naruto… Sasuke…*
    *Show me your answer…*
**[09:04] ---**
    *Show me the answer for all shinobi!*
**[11:17] ---**
    Inferno Style: Honoikazuchi!
**[11:58] ---**
    *His left eye is…*
**[14:42] ---**
    *How the hell do you think*
    *you understand?*
**[14:45] ---**
    *You've been alone from the start!*
**[14:47] ---**
    *It's because I have these ties,*
    *that I feel this agony.*
**[14:50] ---**
    *How could you possibly understand*
**[14:52] ---**
    *what it feels like*
    *to lose all that?!*
**[15:27] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[15:29] ---**
    Are you just going to play defense?
**[16:39] ---**
    If you keep stalling, you'll die.
**[16:46] ---**
    I don't wanna kill you!
**[16:49] ---**
    *To me, you've become*
    *my closest friend.*
**[16:54] ---**
    You're trying to be alone again
    and I can't let that happen!
**[17:01] ---**
    Especially since we both know
    what that's like…
**[17:04] ---**
    That's why I can't let you…
**[17:17] ---**
    …go there…
**[17:18] ---**
    …intentionally!
**[17:57] ---**
    Quit yapping.
**[17:59] ---**
    We're both different from
**[18:00] ---**
    the two boys who
    fought here long ago…
**[18:05] ---**
    I know your heart…
**[18:08] ---**
    …and you, mine…
**[18:11] ---**
    But you still wanna fight me?
**[18:14] ---**
    All the more, because it's you.
**[18:17] ---**
    I have to cut you out of my life.
**[18:20] ---**
    There's no guarantee that the world
**[18:23] ---**
    you'll rebuild
    after severing the past…
**[18:25] ---**
    …won't end up just like this one,
    you know.
**[18:29] ---**
    That's exactly why I'll continue
    to watch over that world…
**[18:33] ---**
    So it doesn't.
**[18:35] ---**
    You're missing the point!
**[18:37] ---**
    The Five Villages
    are finally united!
**[18:41] ---**
    Yeah… But that's only because
    they found a common enemy.
**[18:47] ---**
    To defeat the Akatsuki, Madara,
    and Kaguya…
**[18:52] ---**
    the Five Villages had no choice
    but to discard their grudges
**[18:54] ---**
    and form an alliance
    in order to survive.
**[18:58] ---**
    But their mutual foes are now gone.
**[19:01] ---**
    Eventually, conflicts between
    each village will begin again.
**[19:05] ---**
    So this time,
    you're gonna become the enemy?
**[19:09] ---**
    And? What'll happen
    after you're gone?
**[19:15] ---**
    Finally,
**[19:17] ---**
    all the dots have connected
    and formed a straight line.
**[19:20] ---**
    I started with the Sharingan
**[19:22] ---**
    and now, I possess
    the power of the Rinnegan.
**[19:24] ---**
    Reincarnation, immortality…
    I have many options.
**[19:29] ---**
    I'll also be able to control things
    from the shadows,
**[19:32] ---**
    instead of through battle.
**[19:34] ---**
    You're planning to
    return to that hell,
**[19:37] ---**
    for the rest of your life,
    or rather for all eternity?
**[19:40] ---**
    While being hated by all?
**[19:45] ---**
    To me,
    that's what a Hokage ought to be.
**[20:00] ---**
    That's not even
    close enough to kill me.
**[20:03] ---**
    I told you!
    I'm not trying to kill you!
**[20:07] ---**
    I'm—!
**[20:08] ---**
    Enough.
**[20:46] ---**
    I'm the strongest in
    this world right now.
**[20:50] ---**
    So right now, right here…
**[20:52] ---**
    will be my first step
    into the shadows.
**[22:42] ---**
    I can feel it,
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    how did he gain so much
    Nature Energy so suddenly?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    You finally decided to kill me, huh?
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    We've taken on
    a lot of responsibilities
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    upon our shoulders…
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    But you see, I wanna fight,
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    and win against you
    fair and square!
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    Naruto and Sasuke
    
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    …but not against the current you!
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    NARUTO AND SASUKE
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:51] ---**
    This is bad…
**[01:53] ---**
    He's merging all the chakra
    that's been scattered into one…
**[01:57] ---**
    And doing it unbelievably well too,
    almost unrivaled.
**[02:00] ---**
    He's just as good as
    Old Man Six Paths…
**[02:02] ---**
    Well, except he's doing
    the reverse thing…
**[02:05] ---**
    There's no Gedo Statue here,
**[02:07] ---**
    so he's making the Susano'o
    the receiving vessel.
**[02:10] ---**
    Something incredible
    is going to emerge…
**[02:12] ---**
    Don't let down your guard, Naruto!
**[02:44] ---**
    That jutsu again?
**[02:47] ---**
    Naruto…
**[02:48] ---**
    That jutsu of yours
    symbolizes your weakness.
**[02:53] ---**
    That's right…
**[02:54] ---**
    It's a jutsu that covers up
**[02:56] ---**
    your loneliness!
**[03:48] ---**
    Why that—!
**[04:42] ---**
    You only hold a little piece of
    each Tailed Beast's chakra…
**[04:45] ---**
    You can't win against me now.
**[04:48] ---**
    Nor this…
**[05:04] ---**
    Not yet?!
**[05:05] ---**
    Kurama!
**[05:07] ---**
    I might have amassed too much, in fact.
**[05:10] ---**
    It's everything that's available.
**[05:12] ---**
    Here it comes!
**[05:19] ---**
    Here it comes!
**[05:23] ---**
    *I can feel it!*
**[05:24] ---**
    *How did he gain so much*
    *Nature Energy so suddenly?*
**[05:33] ---**
    Let's do this!
**[05:34] ---**
    Yeah!
**[05:43] ---**
    You finally decided to kill me, huh?
**[05:48] ---**
    We've taken on a lot of responsibilities
    upon our shoulders…
**[05:57] ---**
    But you see,
**[05:59] ---**
    I…
**[06:01] ---**
    *I want to fight you too.*
**[06:08] ---**
    I wanna fight,
    and win against you fair and square!
**[06:14] ---**
    But…
**[06:15] ---**
    …not against the current you!
**[06:17] ---**
    You already know that too…
**[06:19] ---**
    right, Sasuke?!
**[06:27] ---**
    *This fight with you right now,*
    *will be my last.*
**[06:32] ---**
    *Indra's Arrow…*
**[06:34] ---**
    *Currently the most powerful jutsu*
    *in my arsenal…*
**[06:39] ---**
    *So just…die.*
**[06:43] ---**
    Just be gone already!
**[08:27] ---**
    Damn it…
**[08:29] ---**
    You're not—!
**[08:32] ---**
    Naruto!
**[08:33] ---**
    If my Nature Energy
    didn't make it to you in time,
**[08:36] ---**
    you'd have been
    blown away just now!
**[08:39] ---**
    And your chakra's already
    long been drained from—
**[08:41] ---**
    Amaterasu!
**[08:56] ---**
    *Only a diversion, huh?*
**[08:58] ---**
    *I can't actually take*
    *him down with this…*
**[09:01] ---**
    *I need the Tailed Beasts…*
**[09:04] ---**
    *I've used too much chakra…*
    *can't maintain control!*
**[09:07] ---**
    *At this rate, I can't use*
    *my left eye's abilities either!*
**[10:48] ---**
    *He's still not—!*
**[10:51] ---**
    Give it up already…
**[10:58] ---**
    – Sasuke!
    – Naruto!
**[11:40] ---**
    Damn it!
**[11:45] ---**
    *Sasuke wins!*
**[11:47] ---**
    *All right, both of you,*
    *make the Unison Sign.*
**[11:50] ---**
    *Not even a nod of acknowledgment?!*
**[11:52] ---**
    *You jerk!*
**[11:53] ---**
    *I've got to get this off my chest!*
**[11:56] ---**
    *You turd! No, you hard, drippy turd!*
**[12:01] ---**
    *Ouch!*
**[12:03] ---**
    *I told you that shinobi Kumite is*
    *a time-honored and sacred tradition!*
**[12:07] ---**
    *Now, make the Unison Sign now!*
**[12:24] ---**
    You're finally awake.
**[12:32] ---**
    It's dusk already.
**[12:37] ---**
    Where are Sasuke and Naruto?
**[12:40] ---**
    They're currently fighting
    their final battle…
**[12:44] ---**
    …in order to settle things for good.
**[15:02] ---**
    Hang in there!
**[15:04] ---**
    It's not much but I've finished
    infusing some more chakra—!
**[15:11] ---**
    This is one of the abilities
    of the Rinnegan.
**[15:15] ---**
    As someone who possesses
    the eyes of the Uchiha…
**[15:21] ---**
    My victory is inevitable.
**[15:28] ---**
    *Now…*
**[15:31] ---**
    *Now, I can finally be alone!*
**[15:38] ---**
    Farewell…
**[15:41] ---**
    My one and only…
**[15:43] ---**
    friend!
**[16:05] ---**
    That was a great counter!
**[16:07] ---**
    You didn't miss the fact that
    his Visual Prowess is weakened!
**[16:27] ---**
    Over and…
**[16:30] ---**
    …over and…
**[16:34] ---**
    …over and…
**[16:36] ---**
    …over and…
**[16:38] ---**
    …over and…
**[16:39] ---**
    …over and over and
    and over over again!
**[16:45] ---**
    Just give up and
    let me cut you down!
**[16:54] ---**
    Can't do that.
**[17:01] ---**
    'Cuz I'm your one and only friend!
**[17:22] ---**
    I figured as much…
**[17:23] ---**
    He's assimilated the chakra
    I created and infused for you,
**[17:26] ---**
    and made it his own…
**[17:28] ---**
    And now Flame Control…
**[17:31] ---**
    He intends to finish this
    with one last blast.
**[17:33] ---**
    Listen, I'm giving what remains
    of my own chakra…
**[17:38] ---**
    Once I do that,
    it's gonna put me to sleep.
**[17:40] ---**
    Don't unleash your jutsu
    until the last minute,
**[17:42] ---**
    so he doesn't absorb
    more chakra from you.
**[17:44] ---**
    Well, not that he can use
    his newly awakened Rinnegan
**[17:47] ---**
    to absorb chakra while
    putting out his own jutsu…
**[18:23] ---**
    *Who are you to be so confident when*
    *you couldn't even save Sasuke?*
**[18:29] ---**
    *I've never given up…*
**[18:31] ---**
    *Once you give up, it's over.*
**[18:33] ---**
    *I will save Sasuke, and…*
**[18:36] ---**
    *I'm coming after all that hate*
    *inside you too, someday!*
**[18:45] ---**
    *Now go…*
**[18:47] ---**
    *You're the one and only*
    *for us too…*
**[18:55] ---**
    *That's why Sasuke is…*
**[21:04] ---**
    NARUTO AND SASUKE
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    Am I dead?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    This sensation…
    it must be…probably.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Sorry, Grandma Tsunade.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    I promised I wouldn't die…
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Unison Sign"
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    …until I became the Hokage.
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:05] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[00:07] ---**
    *Just disappear already…*
**[00:10] ---**
    *and take our bond along with you!*
**[00:26] ---**
    Sasuke wins!
**[00:29] ---**
    All right, you two…
    make the Unison Sign.
**[01:02] ---**
    You wanna piece of me, you loser?
**[01:10] ---**
    What is this?
**[01:17] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[01:19] ---**
    If you and I fight…
**[01:23] ---**
    We'll both...
**[01:25] ---**
    die.
**[03:09] ---**
    Am I dead?
**[03:12] ---**
    This sensation…
**[03:14] ---**
    It must be…
**[03:18] ---**
    Probably.
**[03:35] ---**
    Pitiful, isn't it?
**[03:44] ---**
    You had the Nine Tails…
**[03:45] ---**
    and I was an Uchiha.
**[03:48] ---**
    We were ostracized from the village
    and treated like outcasts.
**[03:53] ---**
    And we resented the village
    and its people.
**[03:59] ---**
    Right?
**[04:09] ---**
    I won't let you say I'm wrong.
**[04:13] ---**
    You called me your brother…
    In that sense, perhaps we were.
**[04:19] ---**
    You're totally wrong!
**[04:21] ---**
    Damn it,
    you don't understand, do you?
**[04:53] ---**
    Sorry, Grandma Tsunade…
**[04:58] ---**
    I promised…I wouldn't die…
**[05:03] ---**
    until I became the Hokage…
**[05:12] ---**
    Oh yeah! The Infinite Tsukuyomi!
**[05:15] ---**
    This is bad!
**[05:17] ---**
    The Release Jutsu can't be activated
    without us being there, right?!
**[05:22] ---**
    You're dead…and you're worried
    about what happens to the world?
**[05:27] ---**
    Of course!
**[05:28] ---**
    We can't leave it like that!
**[05:31] ---**
    Sakura and Kakashi still remain.
**[05:34] ---**
    They'll figure something out.
**[05:38] ---**
    I hope so.
**[05:48] ---**
    Naruto!
**[06:07] ---**
    The Hokage, huh…
**[06:16] ---**
    *Pretty soon, Big Brother, they might*
    *carve your Great Stone Face over there!**
**[06:30] ---**
    *Big Brother?**
**[06:53] ---**
    *Forgive me, Sasuke.*
    *This is it.*
**[07:02] ---**
    *And no matter what you do*
    *from here on out, know this…*
**[07:05] ---**
    *I will love you always.*
**[07:17] ---**
    *Big Brother…*
**[07:21] ---**
    *I'll be seeing you…soon.*
**[07:37] ---**
    You've finally come to, eh?
**[07:45] ---**
    As you can see…
**[07:47] ---**
    if either of us moves too much,
    we'll bleed out and die.
**[07:54] ---**
    Why would you go that far?
**[07:57] ---**
    Why do all that…
**[07:58] ---**
    just to get in my way?
**[08:03] ---**
    I gained the power to enter the darkness,
    and sever all bonds…
**[08:08] ---**
    And naturally, everyone's tried to cut
    their ties to me as well, at some point.
**[08:17] ---**
    But you…
**[08:18] ---**
    You've never attempted
    to cut me off.
**[08:22] ---**
    *The only one who can handle*
    *all that hatred is me!*
**[08:27] ---**
    Why do you keep
    involving yourself with me?
**[08:33] ---**
    You already know, don't you?
**[08:36] ---**
    Now that your body can't move,
    your mouth sure is moving a lot.
**[08:40] ---**
    Just answer me!
**[08:47] ---**
    'Cuz you're my friend.
**[08:50] ---**
    *What is it with you anyway?*
**[08:53] ---**
    *I'm your friend!*
**[08:57] ---**
    *Just what the hell do you want?*
    *Why are you so fixated on me?*
**[09:02] ---**
    *It's because I'm your friend!*
**[09:07] ---**
    I've heard that before.
**[09:10] ---**
    But what exactly does that mean
**[09:12] ---**
    to you anyway?
**[09:16] ---**
    You ask me to explain it,
    but I really can't put it into words.
**[09:23] ---**
    It's just that…
**[09:24] ---**
    when I see you take on stuff…
**[09:27] ---**
    and get all messed up…
**[09:30] ---**
    It kinda…
**[09:32] ---**
    hurts me.
**[09:38] ---**
    It hurts so much inside,
**[09:41] ---**
    that I can't just leave it alone, y'know?
**[09:47] ---**
    Though right now, I'm in a lot of pain
    all over, and I can't do anything about it.
**[09:56] ---**
    *Naruto… I knew you were*
    *always alone back then.*
**[10:04] ---**
    *The village shunned you,*
    *just like they did with me…*
**[10:06] ---**
    *the lone Uchiha survivor.*
**[10:10] ---**
    *You intentionally did stupid things*
    *to get scolded,*
**[10:15] ---**
    *most likely to get people's attention.*
**[10:17] ---**
    *In the beginning, I thought*
    *you were good for nothing.*
**[10:21] ---**
    *A weakling who just constantly*
    *wanted to goof around.*
**[10:25] ---**
    *But the more I watched you being idiotic*
    *and getting scolded over and over…*
**[10:29] ---**
    *For some reason,*
    *it started weighing on my mind.*
**[10:33] ---**
    *I thought back then, that your weakness*
    *was gradually rubbing off on me.*
**[10:39] ---**
    *Then, every time I'd see you,*
    *I'd think about you more and more.*
**[10:44] ---**
    *Seeing you desperately*
    *trying to bond with others…*
**[10:48] ---**
    *made me remember my own family.*
**[10:52] ---**
    *And I don't know why,*
    *but I felt relief.*
**[10:57] ---**
    *But at the same time,*
    *I considered it a weakness.*
**[11:01] ---**
    *I trained hard*
    *as if to escape that weakness.*
**[11:06] ---**
    *In order to get my revenge
    *on my brother*
**[11:07] ---**
    *to become stronger than him.*
**[11:11] ---**
    *And yet… I ended up*
    *on the same team as you.*
**[11:15] ---**
    *And I began thinking about*
    *my family again.*
**[11:18] ---**
    *I went on missions with you*
**[11:20] ---**
    *as you jabbered on and on*
    *about becoming Hokage…*
**[11:22] ---**
    *I saw how both of us*
    *were getting stronger…*
**[11:26] ---**
    *And one day, I started to feel*
    *the desire to fight you too.*
**[11:32] ---**
    *And I began to see a shadow*
    *of my own family in Squad 7…*
**[11:37] ---**
    *That's why every time*
    *I saw you suffering…*
**[11:42] ---**
    *That's right…*
    *I felt it…*
**[11:46] ---**
    *I felt pain too.*
**[11:50] ---**
    *When I understood your hurt,*
    *I finally saw you as a comrade.*
**[11:55] ---**
    *But on the other hand…*
**[11:57] ---**
    *I couldn't leave you alone.*
    *You were getting stronger and stronger.*
**[12:01] ---**
    *Watching you steadily get stronger…*
**[12:05] ---**
    *I…*
**[12:08] ---**
    I knew that you were always alone.
**[12:12] ---**
    I wanted to walk over and start talking.
**[12:15] ---**
    I'd get sort of giddy.
**[12:18] ---**
    But I stopped myself.
**[12:21] ---**
    I was jealous because
    you were good at everything.
**[12:24] ---**
    So I made you my rival.
**[12:29] ---**
    You've been…
**[12:32] ---**
    my goal.
**[12:34] ---**
    I had nothing, and I found a bond.
**[12:38] ---**
    I wanted to be strong
    and cool like you.
**[12:42] ---**
    That's why I kept chasing after you.
**[12:45] ---**
    *It was the opposite.*
**[12:47] ---**
    *In reality, I was the one*
    *who was jealous of you.*
**[12:51] ---**
    *Because you had a strength*
    *that I didn't.*
**[12:54] ---**
    *You were always walking*
    *in front of me.*
**[13:01] ---**
    *Just like my late Big Brother.*
**[13:06] ---**
    *And…even today…*
**[13:10] ---**
    *I'll let you deal with Sasuke.*
**[13:12] ---**
    *That was my plan from the start!*
**[13:15] ---**
    *Entrusting it to you was*
    *the right thing to do, after all.*
**[13:20] ---**
    *These are—!*
**[13:21] ---**
    *Naruto's memories.*
**[13:24] ---**
    *My dream…*
**[13:25] ---**
    *is to surpass the Hokage one day!*
**[13:27] ---**
    *And that's why I'm going to*
**[13:29] ---**
    *make everyone in the village*
    *acknowledge me!*
**[13:33] ---**
    *I have to be ready…*
**[13:35] ---**
    *I'm gonna be called the Hokage,*
    *someone that everyone acknowledges.*
**[13:41] ---**
    *There's no such thing as a shortcut!*
**[13:45] ---**
    *Quit messin' around,*
    *I'll never run away!*
**[13:49] ---**
    *I will make it!*
**[13:50] ---**
    *Even if I stay a genin*
    *for the rest of my life,*
**[13:53] ---**
    *I'll become the Hokage.*
    *So I don't care!*
**[13:58] ---**
    *I never go back on my word.*
    *That's my Ninja Way!*
**[14:03] ---**
    *I'm different from you.*
**[14:07] ---**
    *I'm absolutely gonna*
    *become the Hokage.*
**[14:12] ---**
    *Becoming the Hokage*
    *is my dream.*
**[14:15] ---**
    *I won't die…*
    *until I become the Hokage!*
**[14:21] ---**
    *I'm gonna become the Hokage*
    *to surpass all the previous ones!*
**[14:26] ---**
    *That's my dream, you idiot!*
**[14:29] ---**
    *The Hokage is someone*
    *who endures the pain*
**[14:32] ---**
    *and takes the lead*
    *in front of everyone.*
**[14:35] ---**
    *So a Hokage never walks over*
    *his comrades' corpses.*
**[14:39] ---**
    *There is no shortcut*
    *to becoming the Hokage!*
**[14:42] ---**
    *And there are no ways out*
    *for the one who becomes Hokage!*
**[14:47] ---**
    *No way can a guy who can't even*
    *save one friend become the Hokage.*
**[14:53] ---**
    *Isn't that right, Sasuke?*
**[15:15] ---**
    *Naruto...*
**[15:18] ---**
    *How far…have you—?*
**[15:23] ---**
    *No matter how powerful*
    *you become,*
**[15:25] ---**
    *don't try to shoulder*
    *everything alone.*
**[15:29] ---**
    *You share your father's dream,*
    *don't you?*
**[15:32] ---**
    *Then don't ever forget…*
**[15:35] ---**
    *Becoming Hokage doesn't mean*
    *people will acknowledge you.*
**[15:40] ---**
    *But when the people acknowledge you,*
    *you can become Hokage.*
**[15:45] ---**
    *Never forget your friends!*
**[15:51] ---**
    *Big Brother…*
**[17:39] ---**
    I see.
**[17:41] ---**
    Then…
**[17:44] ---**
    show me…
**[17:55] ---**
    Where are we?
**[17:57] ---**
    Don't tell me this is really
    Heaven this time?
**[18:00] ---**
    Looks like we fell asleep
    and slept until morning.
**[18:05] ---**
    We've failed to die again.
**[18:10] ---**
    Damn it! I still can't move!
**[18:14] ---**
    I was hoping to punch you hard and
    make you finally open your eyes!
**[18:23] ---**
    W-What is it?
**[18:26] ---**
    We're messed up like this,
    and you still wanna fight?
**[18:29] ---**
    Damn right! No matter
    how many times it takes—
**[18:31] ---**
    I admit it.
**[18:35] ---**
    I've…
**[18:39] ---**
    lost.
**[18:45] ---**
    You idiot!
**[18:47] ---**
    This fight isn't about winning or losing!
**[18:50] ---**
    It's about punching a sulking friend,
    to make him snap out of it!
**[18:53] ---**
    That's what it's about!
**[18:54] ---**
    The real match that I want,
    comes after that!
**[18:59] ---**
    Hey, Naruto…
**[19:02] ---**
    I just acknowledged you.
**[19:08] ---**
    If I die here, the long cycle of destiny
    the Sage of Six Paths mentioned
**[19:12] ---**
    will probably end as well.
**[19:14] ---**
    This is…a kind of revolution too.
**[19:18] ---**
    You can release the Infinite Tsukuyomi
    after I'm dead,
**[19:21] ---**
    by transplanting my left eye
    into Kakashi or someone else.
**[19:27] ---**
    I'll put an end to myself.
**[19:35] ---**
    By dying?
    Don't think dying will settle this!
**[19:38] ---**
    If you're willing to die,
    then live and help me instead.
**[19:42] ---**
    What I want to do is to make
    all shinobi cooperate with each other.
**[19:45] ---**
    And that definitely includes you!
**[19:48] ---**
    Just because you want that
    doesn't mean others will agree to it.
**[19:52] ---**
    Damn it! If you keep whining and sulking,
    I'll slug you again!
**[19:57] ---**
    There's no guarantee
    I won't stand against you again…
**[20:01] ---**
    Then I'll stop you again!
**[20:02] ---**
    Besides, I know you're not going to
    do that kinda thing anymore.
**[20:07] ---**
    How can you be so sure?
**[20:09] ---**
    Don't make me repeat myself!
**[20:16] ---**
    Haven't you figured it out yet?!
**[20:19] ---**
    Now that I think about it…
**[20:21] ---**
    You were always pretty stupid too…
**[22:27] ---**
    THE UNISON SIGN
    
**[22:33] ---**
    Shut up, you loser.
**[22:41] ---**
    I'll start knowing your pain
    and feelings too, Naruto.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    You never cut me off.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    You kept trying to get closer
    to my feelings.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    You never stopping
    calling me your friend.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Even though I tried to sever
    those feelings myself.
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Naruto Uzumaki!"
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    You stopped me, as a friend.
    
    
    
**[23:06] ---**
    NARUTO UZUMAKI!
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:48] ---**
    There they are!
**[01:50] ---**
    It figures they'd be here.
**[02:22] ---**
    Thanks, Sakura.
**[02:25] ---**
    Sakura…
**[02:26] ---**
    Never mind me…
**[02:27] ---**
    Stay quiet now.
**[02:29] ---**
    I need to concentrate.
**[02:36] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[02:39] ---**
    Sorry? For what?
**[02:44] ---**
    For everything…
**[02:47] ---**
    You should be.
**[02:50] ---**
    Really...you…
**[02:59] ---**
    damn…
**[03:02] ---**
    idiot!
**[03:29] ---**
    He's finally back.
**[03:37] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[03:38] ---**
    *I've been thinking about*
    *what you once said to me.*
**[03:44] ---**
    *When we were together,*
**[03:46] ---**
    *you wondered if it was*
    *how having a brother would feel…*
**[03:56] ---**
    *Now, finally…*
**[03:58] ---**
    *I think I know what you meant.*
**[05:39] ---**
    *I felt how my mother, father,*
    *and brother Itachi suffered.*
**[05:45] ---**
    *In that same way…*
**[05:55] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[05:57] ---**
    *I'm sure I will start to feel your pain*
    *and your emotions…*
**[06:03] ---**
    *You never cut me off.*
**[06:06] ---**
    *You always kept me in your thoughts.*
**[06:29] ---**
    Naruto…
**[06:41] ---**
    SHIKAKU NARA
    
**[06:44] ---**
    INOICHI YAMANAKA
    
**[06:53] ---**
    *You'd have been justified if*
    *you'd come at me with hatred…*
**[06:58] ---**
    *Instead, you always called me*
    *your friend.*
**[07:03] ---**
    NEJI HYUGA
    
**[07:08] ---**
    *And I tried to betray*
    *even those feelings…*
**[07:22] ---**
    As I explained,
    it's the village policy.
**[07:24] ---**
    Only those authorized are allowed
    at the interview.
**[07:29] ---**
    All others, please leave!
**[07:31] ---**
    What? Do you know
    how far I traveled?
**[07:35] ---**
    Let us see him, just once!
**[07:37] ---**
    – Yeah!
    – Yeah!
**[07:38] ---**
    It's the village policy…
**[07:41] ---**
    – Let us see Naruto!
    – Let us see Naruto!
**[07:43] ---**
    Please don't push! It's dangerous.
**[07:51] ---**
    This should take care
    of the successorship.
**[07:56] ---**
    It's a lot of paper.
**[07:58] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:00] ---**
    Anyway, congratulations on becoming
    the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi.
**[08:04] ---**
    Thank you.
**[08:06] ---**
    I just wonder…
    Can I do this?
**[08:10] ---**
    You'll manage. After all, I did.
**[08:14] ---**
    I'll do my best.
**[08:18] ---**
    Excuse me.
**[08:23] ---**
    Status report:
**[08:24] ---**
    The Raikage's entourage and
**[08:26] ---**
    the Kazekage's entourage
    have arrived.
**[08:30] ---**
    May I escort them to Naruto, too?
**[08:33] ---**
    You may.
**[08:41] ---**
    Further…
**[08:44] ---**
    I have a request.
**[08:50] ---**
    I see, Shikamaru.
**[08:52] ---**
    I understand your intentions.
**[08:55] ---**
    I want to get some experience
    and improve my prospects too.
**[09:01] ---**
    All that's left is him.
**[09:03] ---**
    A ton of visitors are asking about him.
**[09:06] ---**
    Suddenly he's Mr. Popular.
**[09:09] ---**
    That's all right.
**[09:10] ---**
    He's not the type to get carried away.
**[09:17] ---**
    Hey! Gaara!
**[09:21] ---**
    Naruto…
**[09:35] ---**
    You…saved me yet again.
**[09:39] ---**
    And us.
**[09:44] ---**
    How's your wound?
**[09:46] ---**
    It's about what you'd guess.
**[09:49] ---**
    Can't say I'm in the best shape.
**[09:52] ---**
    Then, what'll you do about that arm?
**[09:56] ---**
    Oh, Grandma Tsunade said
    something about
**[09:58] ---**
    harvesting cells from Hashirama,
    the First Hokage, or whatever.
**[10:04] ---**
    She's gonna fuse them with mine,
    I suppose?
**[10:07] ---**
    I don't really understand.
**[10:10] ---**
    Will it be as good as new?
**[10:14] ---**
    Yeah! I think.
**[10:17] ---**
    I'm here today so they can check.
**[10:20] ---**
    I see…
**[10:22] ---**
    Naruto is the Ninja World's sun!
    His right hand's a precious companion!
**[10:27] ---**
    Losing it is devastation! Yay!
**[10:30] ---**
    So to get it back intact!
    Use Hashirama's cells, in fact.
**[10:35] ---**
    It'll be as good as new, Jack! Yay!
**[10:44] ---**
    What's *he* up to?
**[10:53] ---**
    I really don't wanna say much.
**[10:59] ---**
    SEAL
    
    
**[10:59] ---**
    SEAL
    
    I promised I wouldn't.
**[11:01] ---**
    SEAL
    
    
**[11:02] ---**
    I see.
**[11:15] ---**
    S-Sensei!
**[11:18] ---**
    Don't cry, Lee!
**[11:21] ---**
    Even if the bright days of youth end here,
    there is still a future for me!
**[11:28] ---**
    The sun that shines bright!
**[11:30] ---**
    The sweltering heat!
**[11:33] ---**
    The red-hot days of
    summer are here!
**[11:43] ---**
    O-Oww…
**[11:45] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[11:48] ---**
    I'm inspired!
    What a brilliant way of thinking!
**[11:51] ---**
    *Oh yuck…*
**[11:53] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    
**[11:55] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    Shikamaru…
**[11:56] ---**
    I hear you're
    the Hokage's personal assistant.
**[12:00] ---**
    Well, yeah.
**[12:02] ---**
    I have to keep moving forward too.
**[12:08] ---**
    So why'd you ask me to
    come to the Academy?
**[12:15] ---**
    Iruka Sensei? And Kakashi Sensei?
**[12:20] ---**
    More like Lord Hokage now.
**[12:23] ---**
    Huh?! When did that—?!
**[12:26] ---**
    You must have seen all the messages
    that came in this morning.
**[12:29] ---**
    I had no idea…
**[12:31] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[12:34] ---**
    So what do I call you?
**[12:38] ---**
    Kakashi Hokage?
**[12:39] ---**
    Hokage Kakashi Teacher?
**[12:42] ---**
    Well, let's decide that later.
**[12:46] ---**
    Naruto!
**[12:50] ---**
    You never got to take
    the Chunin Exam, right?
**[12:54] ---**
    No…
**[12:56] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki!
**[12:58] ---**
    I, the Sixth Hokage, hereby grant you
**[13:00] ---**
    the rank of Jonin of
    the Village Hidden in the Leaves!
**[13:07] ---**
    …is what I'd like to tell you.
**[13:10] ---**
    But there's something
    you must complete before that.
**[13:19] ---**
    The educational materials
    you'll be needing.
**[13:22] ---**
    You mean…?
**[13:23] ---**
    Yes, you have study.
**[13:26] ---**
    Study?!
**[13:28] ---**
    No way!
**[13:30] ---**
    No way, no way!
**[13:32] ---**
    If I'm gonna have to study,
    I'll just stay a genin!
**[13:35] ---**
    Hold on, Naruto.
**[13:37] ---**
    There's no shortcut to
    becoming the Hokage!
**[13:40] ---**
    Got it?!
**[13:43] ---**
    Naruto…
**[13:45] ---**
    I don't have to tell you
**[13:48] ---**
    that your skill as a shinobi
    is second to none.
**[13:52] ---**
    However, if your goal is
    to become the Hokage…
**[13:55] ---**
    You must learn how to stand
    above others and lead them.
**[14:01] ---**
    You catch on fast,
    and for most things,
**[14:05] ---**
    Shikamaru will support you
    with his resourcefulness.
**[14:08] ---**
    Still, a minimum of learning
    and knowledge is essential.
**[14:12] ---**
    We're rivals who both aim to
    become Hokage, right?!
**[14:20] ---**
    THE HISTORY OF SHINOBI
    VOLUME 1
    
**[14:32] ---**
    You really dug in, Naruto.
**[14:35] ---**
    Two more years,
    and you can become a jonin.
**[14:38] ---**
    So long…
**[14:41] ---**
    Okay, let's call it a day
**[14:43] ---**
    and go grab some ramen.
**[14:46] ---**
    Yes!
**[14:48] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    
**[14:49] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    Now what toppings should I choose?
**[14:51] ---**
    Now what toppings should I choose?
**[14:53] ---**
    Hey, don't get carried away.
**[15:08] ---**
    It's all thanks to you, Iruka Sensei.
**[15:10] ---**
    Huh?
**[15:12] ---**
    Do you remember that day?
**[15:15] ---**
    Hmm?
**[15:16] ---**
    That night, Sensei…
**[15:19] ---**
    You accepted me.
**[15:22] ---**
    It was the first time ever.
**[15:24] ---**
    That's why I'm here today.
**[15:29] ---**
    If no one acknowledged me
    and I stayed the way I was…
**[15:33] ---**
    Maybe I would've resented the village
    and everyone in it, and gone wild.
**[15:38] ---**
    But your words
    that night changed me.
**[15:45] ---**
    *But Naruto is different.*
**[15:48] ---**
    *He's…*
**[15:49] ---**
    *He's an exceptional student*
    *and I acknowledge him!*
**[15:54] ---**
    *He is…*
**[15:57] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki of the Hidden Leaf!*
**[16:02] ---**
    Thank you, Iruka Sensei.
**[16:10] ---**
    That…that does it!
**[16:12] ---**
    Today, you can have
    all the toppings you want!
**[16:17] ---**
    Awright!
**[16:30] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[16:44] ---**
    I'll be blunt.
**[16:45] ---**
    By rights, you should be
    in prison right now.
**[16:49] ---**
    But we have heard your plea and
**[16:51] ---**
    all your actions up to now
    have been pardoned.
**[16:54] ---**
    Breaking the jutsu
    for the Infinite Tsukuyomi
**[16:57] ---**
    played a big part in the decision.
**[17:00] ---**
    As well as the fact that I happened
    to become the Sixth Hokage,
**[17:03] ---**
    and that Naruto,
    the key figure in ending the war,
**[17:06] ---**
    testified on your behalf.
**[17:09] ---**
    Don't forget that.
**[17:11] ---**
    And please don't get too reckless.
**[17:14] ---**
    Otherwise, I'll be held responsible.
**[17:16] ---**
    Understood. Thank you.
**[17:19] ---**
    Must you go?
**[17:22] ---**
    The artificial arm that
    Lady Tsunade is creating
**[17:25] ---**
    from Lord Hashirama's cells will soon…
**[17:27] ---**
    I need time to understand
    my feelings.
**[17:31] ---**
    How I should view the shinobi world,
    this world.
**[17:35] ---**
    Perhaps I'll be able to see things
    I couldn't see before.
**[17:39] ---**
    Things that can't be seen
    unless I do this.
**[17:42] ---**
    Also, there's something
    I'm worried about.
**[17:50] ---**
    What if I said…I'd go with you?
**[18:00] ---**
    This is a trip to atone for my sins.
**[18:03] ---**
    My sins have
    nothing to do with you.
**[18:09] ---**
    Nothing to do with me…?
**[18:17] ---**
    Maybe next time.
**[18:20] ---**
    Thank you.
**[18:49] ---**
    I didn't think
    you'd come to see me off.
**[18:55] ---**
    Here.
**[18:59] ---**
    You kept that thing?
**[19:04] ---**
    *You sacrificed your arm to stop me.*
**[19:09] ---**
    *Thanks to you, I found salvation.*
**[19:13] ---**
    *Once, all we did was clash*
    *with each other.*
**[19:16] ---**
    *But now, we share each other's pain.*
**[19:20] ---**
    *After all my travels*
    *through the world,*
**[19:23] ---**
    *I came to the conclusion*
**[19:25] ---**
    *that this sharing of pain*
**[19:28] ---**
    *can perhaps be applied to something*
    *much bigger than just us.*
**[19:33] ---**
    *But I can't do things like you.*
**[19:37] ---**
    *Things don't go that smoothly,*
**[19:39] ---**
    *as you and I know more than anyone…*
**[19:42] ---**
    *The bigger something is, the harder.*
**[19:47] ---**
    I'm returning this.
**[19:50] ---**
    I'll hang on to it…
**[19:56] ---**
    …until our real match.
**[19:58] ---**
    *This idea is almost a prayer.*
**[20:01] ---**
    *To keep enduring, no matter what,*
    *until things come to pass.*
**[20:05] ---**
    *And for we who must endure,*
**[20:08] ---**
    *perhaps that's what it means…*
**[20:11] ---**
    *…to be a ninja.*
**[21:56] ---**
    *Long ago, there was a fox spirit.*
    *This fox had nine tails.*
**[22:03] ---**
    *The fox was sealed inside*
    *a shinobi's child*
**[22:06] ---**
    *and over time,*
    *they became close friends.*
**[22:12] ---**
    *Then a new calamity occurred.*
    *The Ten Tails was resurrected.*
**[22:15] ---**
    *But the child grew up to be a shinobi,*
**[22:18] ---**
    *and the fox spirit, the child, and the clans*
    *joined to seal away the Ten Tails.*
**[22:24] ---**
    *This son of the Fourth Hokage*
**[22:27] ---**
    *into whom the fox spirit*
    *was sealed, was named…*
**[22:31] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki.*
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Hmm… Now this looks delicious.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Well, it's the fish I caught.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    ‘Course it's gonna be good!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I will make you strong.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    In times of danger,
    I will risk my life to protect you.
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Brother Neji…

**[02:39] ---**
    I hear it's true.
**[02:41] ---**
    That boy, huh?
**[02:55] ---**
    Look, isn't that the boy?
**[02:58] ---**
    He gives me the creeps.
**[02:59] ---**
    Hey, don't play with him.
**[03:03] ---**
    You don't know what he'll do.
**[03:18] ---**
    Is that right?
**[03:27] ---**
    Man, that looks good!
**[03:38] ---**
    Pops, give me an order of fried rice
    and dumplings!
**[03:41] ---**
    Got it! Coming right up!
**[03:43] ---**
    Dumplings for me!
**[03:44] ---**
    Gotcha!
**[04:09] ---**
    What a weird kid.
**[04:11] ---**
    He's the kid…
**[04:14] ---**
    Did you hear the rumors that
    the Fourth died because of him?
**[04:18] ---**
    Oh…
**[04:31] ---**
    I'm home…
**[06:31] ---**
    Oww...
**[06:38] ---**
    Oh!
**[06:43] ---**
    Wow!
**[06:45] ---**
    Wow!
**[07:39] ---**
    Wh-Who are you?
**[07:41] ---**
    Just an old man passing through.
**[08:10] ---**
    Here, gramps, eat this.
**[08:13] ---**
    Oh, thank you.
**[08:15] ---**
    Oh, this looks so good.
**[08:19] ---**
    Well, I caught it.
**[08:24] ---**
    So of course,
    it's gonna taste good!
**[08:27] ---**
    Is that so?
**[08:29] ---**
    H-Hot!
**[08:31] ---**
    Look at those stars.
**[08:36] ---**
    Each one of those stars
    is like our world's sun.
**[08:44] ---**
    What do you think?
    The sheer amount is incredible, eh?
**[08:48] ---**
    The sun? That giant thing that
    shines in the sky during the day?
**[08:53] ---**
    Yes. This world is boundless.
**[08:57] ---**
    Yeah? You sure know a lot, gramps!
**[09:02] ---**
    Compared to the vastness of the world,
    man's existence is very insignificant.
**[09:11] ---**
    The things that insignificant humans
    fret about are petty indeed.
**[09:19] ---**
    No kidding. The world is big, huh.
**[09:28] ---**
    It goes on and on…
**[09:46] ---**
    Do you want some
    mushroom soup, gramps?
**[09:49] ---**
    Are you sure
    you can spare me some?
**[09:52] ---**
    Sure! You tell great stories, gramps!
**[09:56] ---**
    I see!
**[09:57] ---**
    Are you sure these mushrooms
    are safe?
**[10:00] ---**
    Won't know until we eat ‘em!
**[10:42] ---**
    He's right…
    Compared to the world, I'm just…
**[10:47] ---**
    I'm so small, whatever I do…
**[10:52] ---**
    But I'm me. That's who I am!
**[11:59] ---**
    All right, that will do for today.
**[12:06] ---**
    No, Father…
**[12:09] ---**
    I can still continue!
**[12:16] ---**
    Neji…
**[12:18] ---**
    You mustn't push yourself too hard.
**[12:20] ---**
    But considering your age,
    you've certainly gotten strong.
**[12:25] ---**
    Father…
**[12:26] ---**
    Thank you for sparring with me.
**[12:50] ---**
    Oh, Father…
**[12:54] ---**
    I have heard that your older brother
    has a child like me.
**[13:00] ---**
    Yes… A girl, one year younger than you.
**[13:04] ---**
    A girl…
**[13:06] ---**
    We will be going to a celebration
    tomorrow for her third birthday.
**[13:09] ---**
    I wonder what she's like…
**[13:15] ---**
    Father, it's snowing!
**[13:23] ---**
    The first snow…
**[13:25] ---**
    It's going to turn into
    a heavy snowfall.
**[13:37] ---**
    Look at all the snow!
**[13:41] ---**
    All right, we're off.
**[13:44] ---**
    Dear, please...
**[13:47] ---**
    Look after Neji.
**[13:51] ---**
    Among the Hyuga,
**[13:53] ---**
    he is the one with
    the most potential.
**[13:57] ---**
    I shall protect him.
**[13:59] ---**
    HYUGA
    
    
**[14:05] ---**
    HYUGA
    
    Lady Hinata...
**[14:06] ---**
    Congratulations
    on your third birthday.
**[14:09] ---**
    Lady Hinata…
**[14:11] ---**
    ...is a cute child.
**[14:14] ---**
    Neji...
**[14:15] ---**
    It is your destiny to protect her,
**[14:17] ---**
    and to protect
    the Hyuga bloodline.
**[14:23] ---**
    The Hyuga…bloodline?
**[14:31] ---**
    Father!
**[15:05] ---**
    Neji is very strong.
**[15:08] ---**
    When we were young—
**[15:09] ---**
    Neji lives for Lady Hinata's sake.
**[15:12] ---**
    That is the Hyuga destiny.
**[15:22] ---**
    All right, that will do for today.
**[15:27] ---**
    Neji, you are strong indeed.
**[15:29] ---**
    Hinata, you have a ways to go.
**[15:31] ---**
    No, my father's daily lessons are…
**[15:35] ---**
    I…don't like…
**[15:39] ---**
    to practice taijutsu.
**[15:40] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[15:42] ---**
    You are the important successor
    of the Hyuga clan.
**[15:46] ---**
    You must be more positive
    and confident.
**[15:51] ---**
    I wish I could switch with you,
    Big Brother Neji…
**[15:54] ---**
    You are very strong, after all.
**[15:58] ---**
    No, you must never say
    such a thing.
**[16:01] ---**
    I will make you strong!
**[16:04] ---**
    When you are in danger,
    I will give my life to protect you!
**[16:09] ---**
    Brother Neji!
**[16:12] ---**
    Lady Hinata, it's snowing!
**[16:16] ---**
    I had a snowball fight with my father
    this morning, and I hit him twice!
**[16:47] ---**
    LANTERN FOR THE DECEASED
    
**[16:53] ---**
    Hizashi!
**[16:54] ---**
    He's only four…
**[16:55] ---**
    It's such a pity…
**[17:09] ---**
    Big Brother Neji…
**[17:33] ---**
    LANTERN FOR THE DECEASED
    
**[18:55] ---**
    What are you doing?!
**[19:00] ---**
    What're you doing here?
**[19:04] ---**
    If you keep crying,
    how am I supposed to find out?
**[19:09] ---**
    I…I…
**[19:20] ---**
    Where's your house?
**[19:23] ---**
    Oh well, come on.
**[19:26] ---**
    Let's go.
**[19:38] ---**
    HYUGA
    
    
**[19:41] ---**
    HYUGA
    
    You live in a big house like this,
**[19:46] ---**
    and you're crying?
**[19:51] ---**
    I don't have anyone,
    but I never cry.
**[19:56] ---**
    Never!
**[20:08] ---**
    Later!
**[20:13] ---**
    Hinata!
**[20:18] ---**
    You are the important heir
    to the Main Family!
**[20:20] ---**
    What do you think you're doing?!
**[20:22] ---**
    I…
**[20:24] ---**
    For your sake, and for the sake
    of the Main Family,
**[20:28] ---**
    many people have made
    the ultimate sacrifice.
**[20:32] ---**
    It's about time you learned
    about these things.
**[22:40] ---**
    You must surpass me.
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    That's impossible!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    You're a lot like me.
    You have the potential.
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Then I will surpass you!
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    Sakura, aren't your bangs
    getting in the way?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    You should just cut them!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    If you say things like that,
    Sakura will start hating you!
    
    
**[22:59] ---**

**[01:48] ---**
    Big Brother, teach me
    the trick to throwing shuriken.
**[01:53] ---**
    I'm busy.
**[01:56] ---**
    Learn it from Father.
**[02:01] ---**
    Yeah right!
**[02:02] ---**
    You always say
    you're busy this, busy that.
**[02:08] ---**
    You don't like me, do you?
**[02:12] ---**
    I knew it. You just don't like me.
**[02:15] ---**
    Don't say that, Sasuke.
**[02:18] ---**
    I really don't have the time today.
**[02:21] ---**
    Today this, today that…
**[02:24] ---**
    When will tomorrow ever come?
**[02:39] ---**
    I'm sorry, Sasuke.
**[02:50] ---**
    Oh, yeah…
**[02:54] ---**
    The next time Father and Mother
    go somewhere…
**[02:57] ---**
    I may be able to
    take some time off.
**[03:01] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:02] ---**
    Really? When is that?!
**[03:05] ---**
    Ask Father.
**[03:08] ---**
    See you.
**[03:20] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[03:25] ---**
    What do you call this fish?
**[03:28] ---**
    It's really good!
**[03:29] ---**
    Really?
    It was on sale today!
**[03:32] ---**
    Things in season are always
    cheap and delicious.
**[03:36] ---**
    Is that right, Sasuke?!
**[03:47] ---**
    Seconds please, Mom!
**[03:49] ---**
    Of course.
**[03:51] ---**
    Big Brother said
    you're going somewhere.
**[03:54] ---**
    When is that?
**[03:56] ---**
    Yes…
**[03:58] ---**
    We're going to visit
    your mother's family.
**[04:01] ---**
    Oh…
**[04:07] ---**
    So he told you, did he?
**[04:11] ---**
    I thought we'd go
    on my next day off.
**[04:14] ---**
    Would you like to come?
**[04:16] ---**
    I'm gonna have Big Brother
    teach me all kinds of stuff.
**[04:20] ---**
    He said…he'll teach you?
**[04:23] ---**
    Yeah! He promised.
**[04:26] ---**
    Itachi did?
**[04:28] ---**
    That's unusual!
**[04:30] ---**
    Here's your rice!
**[04:36] ---**
    I can help you practice
    kunai-throwing too, you know.
**[04:44] ---**
    It's not practice, it's training.
**[04:48] ---**
    – Oh, can I trouble you for some tea?
    – Sure!
**[04:51] ---**
    – Make it hot, too.
    – All right!
**[05:04] ---**
    Now you try it, just like that.
**[05:09] ---**
    You've improved, Sasuke!
**[05:15] ---**
    I can throw better than Mom now.
**[05:18] ---**
    All right, then how about this?
**[05:20] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:39] ---**
    You're terrific, Big Brother.
**[05:43] ---**
    How did you do that?
**[05:46] ---**
    You'll start throwing
    like that very soon.
**[05:50] ---**
    You're a lot like me.
**[06:13] ---**
    Big Brother… Can you teach me
    again sometime, like today?
**[06:17] ---**
    Sure, when I have the time.
**[06:20] ---**
    Promise?
**[06:22] ---**
    Yeah.
**[06:26] ---**
    Do you know how
    the Uchiha Clan came about?
**[06:30] ---**
    What?
**[06:31] ---**
    I haven't really learned about it
    in-depth yet.
**[06:36] ---**
    The Uchiha crest is the symbol
    and proof of our prestigious clan.
**[06:42] ---**
    An image of a fan…is prestigious?
**[06:45] ---**
    You need wind
    to start a fire, right?
**[06:48] ---**
    You produce wind with a fan.
**[06:52] ---**
    Is that…a great thing?
**[06:57] ---**
    Well, you'll understand in time.
**[07:02] ---**
    Big Brother…
**[07:04] ---**
    Do you fight for
    the sake of the clan?
**[07:09] ---**
    I wonder…
**[07:11] ---**
    I'm not sure
    about that either just yet.
**[07:24] ---**
    All right!
**[07:25] ---**
    I'm gonna make us a feast tonight!
**[08:00] ---**
    Ouch! Hot!
**[08:03] ---**
    You made all of this?
**[08:07] ---**
    Yeah…
**[08:08] ---**
    Maybe I went a little overboard.
**[08:14] ---**
    A little, huh?
**[08:36] ---**
    I'm stuffed!
**[08:41] ---**
    Hey, Sasuke…
**[08:42] ---**
    Want to sleep outside tonight?
**[08:46] ---**
    Are you sure it's okay to do that?
**[08:55] ---**
    Hey, don't rush!
**[08:59] ---**
    Oww!
**[09:05] ---**
    Are you cold?
**[09:07] ---**
    Nope… It feels great.
**[09:16] ---**
    I want to become
    a skilled shinobi like you,
**[09:20] ---**
    and win Father's approval.
**[09:24] ---**
    What? Like me?
**[09:27] ---**
    You will surpass me.
**[09:30] ---**
    Impossible.
**[09:32] ---**
    No way. I mean, you're gifted.
**[09:36] ---**
    Everyone says so.
**[09:40] ---**
    You're a lot like me.
**[09:43] ---**
    You've got the potential.
**[09:45] ---**
    Okay then, I'll surpass you!
**[09:58] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[10:00] ---**
    Sasuke?
**[10:28] ---**
    Hey…
**[10:30] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[10:32] ---**
    What are you doing out here?
**[10:35] ---**
    What is it?
**[10:37] ---**
    Father?
**[10:40] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:42] ---**
    Where am I?
**[10:44] ---**
    Why—?
**[10:47] ---**
    Oh!
**[10:48] ---**
    Big Brother said
    we could sleep outside…
**[10:51] ---**
    Itachi did?
**[10:59] ---**
    Where's Big Brother?
**[11:01] ---**
    Seems he's left already.
**[11:03] ---**
    I just don't know
    what he's thinking.
**[11:10] ---**
    Big Brother…
**[12:16] ---**
    I'm home…
**[12:59] ---**
    All right!
**[13:05] ---**
    Should I part it here?
**[13:07] ---**
    But…
**[13:48] ---**
    Hey, Sakura.
**[13:50] ---**
    Sakura, aren't your bangs
    getting in the way?
**[13:59] ---**
    You should just cut them!
**[14:01] ---**
    Oh, don't start, dear!
**[14:05] ---**
    Girls have their reasons…
**[14:09] ---**
    If you say things like that,
    Sakura will start hating you!
**[14:46] ---**
    Oh… You like flowers?
**[14:52] ---**
    Who's there?
**[14:55] ---**
    Oh, it's you, Ino.
**[14:58] ---**
    You like cosmos?
**[15:00] ---**
    Oh…
**[15:03] ---**
    Uh…
**[15:05] ---**
    Yeah.
**[15:06] ---**
    Take a look!
**[15:08] ---**
    Tadah!
**[15:09] ---**
    Oh, it's so pretty!
**[15:11] ---**
    Isn't it?
**[15:13] ---**
    I'll tie your hair up with this.
**[15:16] ---**
    Huh? My hair?
**[15:24] ---**
    You're cute Sakura, so…
**[15:30] ---**
    There!
**[15:32] ---**
    This is way better!
**[15:35] ---**
    But…
**[15:37] ---**
    my forehead is…
**[15:39] ---**
    A billboard brow…
**[15:44] ---**
    People tease you
    because you try to cover it up.
**[15:47] ---**
    Just show it off.
**[15:50] ---**
    Then the people around you
    will change.
**[15:53] ---**
    But Ino, you're so strong…
**[15:56] ---**
    Well, I think this is much better.
**[16:02] ---**
    You've got good style…
**[16:05] ---**
    I think you should
    have more confidence…
**[16:09] ---**
    I…
**[16:10] ---**
    I made a friend.
**[16:14] ---**
    Her name's Ino Yamanaka
**[16:16] ---**
    and she's cute, strong,
    fashionable, and kind…
**[16:24] ---**
    I see.
**[16:25] ---**
    You made a friend, Sakura?
**[16:32] ---**
    If she's cute,
    I'd like to meet her too.
**[16:36] ---**
    Oh, dear…
**[16:38] ---**
    What are you saying!
**[16:42] ---**
    I'm happy for you, Sakura.
**[16:44] ---**
    You must cherish your friends.
**[16:47] ---**
    Friends are precious
    assets in life.
**[16:52] ---**
    Okay!
**[16:54] ---**
    Ino gave me this ribbon.
**[16:57] ---**
    It looks great on you.
**[16:59] ---**
    You're as cute as Mom was
    when she was young.
**[17:02] ---**
    Oh dear… You said I'm cute?
**[17:08] ---**
    Sakura…while you're at it,
    you should find a boyfriend.
**[17:11] ---**
    Come on, Dad!
**[17:24] ---**
    Wow… That's amazing.
**[17:27] ---**
    You did this all by yourself?
**[17:29] ---**
    It's nothing at all!
**[17:32] ---**
    I'm not creative like you.
**[17:40] ---**
    See this cosmos?
**[17:44] ---**
    To bring out its beauty,
**[17:46] ---**
    the things around it
    should complement it,
**[17:49] ---**
    so that they don't clash.
**[17:52] ---**
    All right…
**[17:54] ---**
    I'm going to rearrange them a bit.
**[17:57] ---**
    Umm, I'll do this…
**[18:00] ---**
    And do this…
**[18:03] ---**
    You know…
**[18:06] ---**
    …there's a boy I like.
**[18:09] ---**
    Really? I didn't know.
**[18:12] ---**
    Who is it?
**[18:14] ---**
    Is that why you've been
    more cheerful lately?
**[18:20] ---**
    Okay, all done!
**[18:22] ---**
    Not really…
**[18:25] ---**
    but Sasuke…
**[18:28] ---**
    I see…
**[18:30] ---**
    It's Sasuke?
**[18:32] ---**
    I heard Sasuke likes girls
    with long hair.
**[18:35] ---**
    So I was…
**[18:37] ---**
    Oh, sorry.
**[18:38] ---**
    I just remembered something.
    I'll come again later.
**[18:41] ---**
    Huh? Ino…
**[18:45] ---**
    Thank you for today.
**[18:59] ---**
    Hey…
**[19:01] ---**
    Don't you think…
**[19:04] ---**
    …Sakura's been
    more cheerful lately?
**[19:07] ---**
    Really?
**[19:09] ---**
    Huh? Aren't you good friends
    with Sakura, Ino?
**[19:14] ---**
    Not really…
**[19:16] ---**
    Oh?
**[19:23] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[19:26] ---**
    I really like…
**[19:29] ---**
    What is it?
**[19:32] ---**
    Who are you?
**[19:45] ---**
    What's up with that girl?
**[19:49] ---**
    You're not supposed to
    run in the hallway…
**[20:27] ---**
    INNER SAKURA
    
    
**[20:30] ---**
    INNER SAKURA
    
    Cha!
**[20:41] ---**
    She's amazing!
**[22:42] ---**
    I see, that's right!
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    When I look up at the sky,
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    some of the pain in my heart
    goes away…
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Lord Gaara…
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Um, I've got snacks…
    You want some?
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    Gaara – Shikamaru

**[01:50] ---**
    Mommy…
**[02:03] ---**
    I…
**[02:09] ---**
    I…
**[02:52] ---**
    Hey, you're so cool!
**[03:06] ---**
    Wow!
**[03:13] ---**
    Can you do food too?
**[03:36] ---**
    Whoa, grilled squid!
**[03:43] ---**
    Ramen!
**[03:50] ---**
    Cherries!
**[03:53] ---**
    Lobster!
**[03:58] ---**
    Hmm…Sea urchin and rice bowl!
**[04:01] ---**
    That's so cool!
**[04:03] ---**
    That was terrific!
    You're amazing!
**[04:13] ---**
    Okay then…
**[04:15] ---**
    How about a big pile of poop?
**[04:17] ---**
    Can you do it?
**[04:26] ---**
    Temari…
**[04:30] ---**
    Kankuro…
**[04:35] ---**
    Yes!
**[04:44] ---**
    Gaara…
**[04:47] ---**
    Temari!
**[04:49] ---**
    Yes!
**[05:31] ---**
    He's creepy…
**[05:33] ---**
    What is he?
**[05:34] ---**
    How scary.
**[05:37] ---**
    He's seriously creepy.
**[05:40] ---**
    He's cursed.
**[06:32] ---**
    Hey…Yashamaru…
**[06:38] ---**
    Why…?
**[06:41] ---**
    Why do we get hungry?
**[06:48] ---**
    Well…
**[06:52] ---**
    That's in order for us
    to eat good food, maybe?
**[06:55] ---**
    Oh, I see.
**[06:58] ---**
    You're right!
**[07:04] ---**
    The meals you make
    taste good, Yashamaru!
**[08:11] ---**
    Hey, Yashamaru…
**[08:16] ---**
    Why is the sky blue?
**[08:20] ---**
    Well…
**[08:22] ---**
    It could be in order for us
    to gaze up at the blue sky,
**[08:26] ---**
    to make us feel
    calm and refreshed?
**[08:30] ---**
    I see.
**[08:32] ---**
    You're right!
**[08:34] ---**
    When I look up at the sky,
**[08:38] ---**
    the pain inside of me feels
    a little better.
**[09:00] ---**
    Hey, Yashamaru…
**[09:03] ---**
    I don't get sleepy
    even when it's nighttime.
**[09:06] ---**
    Why is that?
**[09:12] ---**
    Now, that's a problem.
**[09:15] ---**
    Normally, when you close your eyes,
    you get sleepy.
**[09:19] ---**
    Really?
**[09:22] ---**
    Hey…
**[09:24] ---**
    Why…Why don't I have a mother?
**[09:29] ---**
    Well…
**[09:33] ---**
    You have me, Lord Gaara.
**[09:41] ---**
    Because I am at your side…
**[09:47] ---**
    …always.
**[11:06] ---**
    Oh…a boxed lunch?
**[11:09] ---**
    Yes!
**[11:40] ---**
    All right…
**[11:42] ---**
    Taijutsu is namely,
**[11:44] ---**
    one of the essentials
    for shinobi survival.
**[11:48] ---**
    Let's see,
**[11:49] ---**
    when talking about human survival…
**[11:54] ---**
    It's like fish swimming
**[11:57] ---**
    – Oh man, what a drag.
    – their way upstream.
**[11:59] ---**
    It's not an exaggeration to
    call it the natural order of things.
**[12:01] ---**
    What we have to think about is…
**[12:25] ---**
    Huh?! What the—?!
**[12:34] ---**
    Ouch!
**[12:35] ---**
    You're half asleep!
**[12:43] ---**
    It was Shikamaru!
**[12:45] ---**
    Man, Shi-ka-ma-ru!
**[12:53] ---**
    Take that!
**[12:55] ---**
    And that!
**[12:56] ---**
    You—!
**[13:00] ---**
    Hey, you guys…
**[13:04] ---**
    Will you pipe down?
**[13:05] ---**
    I'm trying to sleep here!
**[13:09] ---**
    Hey, Naruto!
**[13:10] ---**
    We're in class.
**[13:13] ---**
    Now is not the time…
**[13:17] ---**
    to sleep!
**[13:20] ---**
    Naruto! Shikamaru! Choji!
**[13:22] ---**
    You three, go stand in the hallway!
**[13:25] ---**
    – What?!
    – What?!
**[13:26] ---**
    No "whats"!
**[13:28] ---**
    – Yes, sir…
    – Yes, sir…
**[13:33] ---**
    Man… Iruka Sensei got mad
    at me again.
**[13:38] ---**
    Um…
**[13:39] ---**
    I-I've got snacks. Want some?
**[13:43] ---**
    Oh!
**[13:52] ---**
    I'll totally have some!
**[13:58] ---**
    Okay, guys, have you thought about
    the way you've behaved?
**[14:09] ---**
    Good grief, you guys.
**[14:28] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
    You scared us, ya know!
**[14:32] ---**
    I'm gonna kill you…
**[14:33] ---**
    Huh?! W-What happened?!
**[14:48] ---**
    I knew I'd find you here.
**[14:52] ---**
    Hey, Shikamaru.
    Can you lend me some money?
**[14:56] ---**
    Why? Snacks again?
**[14:59] ---**
    Yeah!
**[15:01] ---**
    I mean…what else is there
    to buy besides snacks?
**[15:05] ---**
    Aw man, what a drag.
**[15:09] ---**
    You're one in a million.
**[15:23] ---**
    What's with your eyes?
**[15:24] ---**
    So creepy!
**[15:26] ---**
    Don't look at us!
**[15:27] ---**
    You're weird.
**[15:29] ---**
    C'mon, cut it out!
**[15:32] ---**
    What'd he do to you anyway?!
**[15:34] ---**
    What? Trying to act like a hero?
**[15:39] ---**
    Don't bully people weaker
    than you, ya know!
**[15:43] ---**
    Shut up!
**[15:49] ---**
    Humph! This is boring!
**[15:50] ---**
    Let's go, guys.
**[15:53] ---**
    So boring.
**[15:54] ---**
    – Let's go.
    – Yeah, let's go.
**[15:57] ---**
    Man, what a drag.
    Doing stuff like that.
**[16:01] ---**
    Instead of butting into
    other people's business,
**[16:03] ---**
    he should polish his skills.
**[16:06] ---**
    Stupid Naruto.
**[16:10] ---**
    Don't call him "stupid."
**[16:11] ---**
    Huh? What?
**[16:14] ---**
    Naruto is not stupid.
**[16:17] ---**
    Even you said before, Shikamaru…
**[16:19] ---**
    You said all shogi pieces
    are necessary.
**[16:22] ---**
    You said that about me.
**[16:24] ---**
    Huh?! What are you talking about?
**[16:28] ---**
    You're just mad at me
    from earlier
**[16:30] ---**
    because I didn't loan you
    any money.
**[16:35] ---**
    You're wrong.
**[16:37] ---**
    Naruto is…
**[16:39] ---**
    Naruto is like you, Shikamaru!
**[16:41] ---**
    So don't call him "stupid"!
    Take it back!
**[16:45] ---**
    Sheesh!
**[16:46] ---**
    What a drag!
**[16:48] ---**
    Then speak in a way
    I can understand!
**[16:52] ---**
    Don't…
**[16:54] ---**
    Don't order me around!
**[16:58] ---**
    Hey, hey!
**[16:59] ---**
    What are you guys doing?!
**[17:01] ---**
    You're friends, aren't you?
**[17:03] ---**
    Why are you fighting?!
**[17:05] ---**
    Hey!
**[17:06] ---**
    This…
**[17:09] ---**
    This fatso started complaining!
**[17:12] ---**
    It's because you're blind!
**[17:15] ---**
    I'm not a fatso!
**[17:20] ---**
    I'm pleasantly plump!
**[17:24] ---**
    All right!
**[17:26] ---**
    Let me buy into this fight.
**[17:29] ---**
    Huh…?
**[17:31] ---**
    – What are you talking about?
    – What are you talking about?
**[17:33] ---**
    Oh! Then I'm buying snacks with
    that money you're gonna pay me.
**[17:37] ---**
    – What?
    – Huh?
**[17:39] ---**
    What did you just say?
**[17:50] ---**
    What was that about?
**[17:54] ---**
    That's so funny.
**[18:08] ---**
    I did that…
**[18:09] ---**
    and then, I went
    to the usual spot.
**[18:12] ---**
    Huh, so that's what happened.
**[18:17] ---**
    Naruto, want some snacks?
**[18:19] ---**
    Oh, thank you!
**[18:27] ---**
    Hey, look!
**[18:54] ---**
    What? Seriously?
**[18:56] ---**
    What a drag!
**[18:57] ---**
    – Nope, nope.
    – Nope, nope.
**[18:58] ---**
    – No girls for me!
    – No girls for me!
**[19:01] ---**
    – She's after us!
    – She's after us!
**[19:04] ---**
    Over here!
**[19:06] ---**
    You wait!
**[19:13] ---**
    I can't go any further!
**[19:15] ---**
    Ino's coming! Keep running!
**[19:17] ---**
    I can't!
**[19:28] ---**
    That Ino…
    She's terrible when she gets mad!
**[19:33] ---**
    I swear she's gonna end up
    an old maid.
**[19:39] ---**
    Hey! Over there, over there!
**[19:41] ---**
    I spy a Pervy Iruka Sensei!
**[19:46] ---**
    Hey, Naruto…
**[19:50] ---**
    Wanna do "that"?!
**[19:51] ---**
    Are you serious?
**[19:53] ---**
    Yeah!
**[19:56] ---**
    Oh c'mon…
**[19:57] ---**
    What? I don't know what to say.
**[20:02] ---**
    Oh…
**[20:04] ---**
    It's you, Naruto.
**[20:06] ---**
    What're you doing out so late?
**[20:08] ---**
    Kid should be in bed—
**[20:10] ---**
    Sexy Jutsu!
**[20:38] ---**
    See ya later, Naruto.
**[20:40] ---**
    Your Sexy Jutsu was awesome!
**[20:42] ---**
    Bye-bye, Naruto!
**[20:46] ---**
    Hey, hey, Shikamaru.
**[20:47] ---**
    It's curry night at my house tonight.
**[20:50] ---**
    That sounds good!
**[20:51] ---**
    I'm getting tired of
    my mom's cooking.
**[20:58] ---**
    See you tomorrow!
**[20:59] ---**
    Yeah!
**[21:00] ---**
    See ya tomorrow!
**[22:41] ---**
    Hey, why don't we talk about
    our dreams tonight?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Dreams?
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    If you have any dreams…that is.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Kakashi's amazing!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    You think? I bet you
    he's probably a closet pervert.
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Jiraiya - Kakashi"

**[01:54] ---**
    Orochimaru…
**[02:16] ---**
    I wonder what that was?
**[02:19] ---**
    I thought it was a kitty
    scuttling about, oh well…
**[02:26] ---**
    BATHS
    
    
**[02:31] ---**
    BATHS
    
    Oh!
**[02:33] ---**
    What a sight!
**[02:46] ---**
    Boobs.
**[02:47] ---**
    Lots of boobs.
**[02:51] ---**
    This is great!
**[02:54] ---**
    Is this what you called me out for?
**[02:59] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[03:01] ---**
    Hey…
**[03:02] ---**
    Don't talk so loud.
**[03:07] ---**
    You want a look?
**[03:09] ---**
    Oh, lots of butts too!
**[03:17] ---**
    Hey, Orochimaru…
**[03:23] ---**
    Orochimaru?
**[03:30] ---**
    You…pervy brat!
**[03:34] ---**
    Hot! Hot! Hot!
**[03:37] ---**
    Aw c'mon, hot water, really?!
**[03:39] ---**
    Hot!
**[03:50] ---**
    This is the plan.
**[03:53] ---**
    You disguise yourself and
    make a move on Tsunade.
**[03:56] ---**
    I'll appear just in time,
    and chase you away.
**[04:01] ---**
    And Tsunade will say,
    "Oh Jiraiya, you're so amazing!"
**[04:08] ---**
    What's the point to all of this?
**[04:14] ---**
    I don't understand it.
**[04:16] ---**
    It has deep significance to me.
**[04:21] ---**
    Very deep significance.
**[04:27] ---**
    She's close by…
**[04:30] ---**
    Huh?!
**[04:35] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:37] ---**
    If…if only…I'd folded back then!
**[04:41] ---**
    Nah…gambling isn't that simple.
**[04:45] ---**
    That was that and…
**[04:47] ---**
    Probably…
**[04:49] ---**
    I'm sure...
**[04:52] ---**
    Yeah, it was the snap.
**[04:57] ---**
    The way the dice rolled.
**[05:00] ---**
    That moment seals
    whether you win or lose.
**[05:03] ---**
    Yeah, the snap…
**[05:06] ---**
    Huh?!
**[05:07] ---**
    Who are you?
**[05:09] ---**
    I'm in a bad mood right now.
**[05:16] ---**
    If you try anything…
**[05:18] ---**
    I'll kill you!
**[05:34] ---**
    Tsunade!
**[05:36] ---**
    A-Are you all right?
**[05:39] ---**
    I'm here now, so…
**[05:44] ---**
    don't worry…
**[05:50] ---**
    Okay?
**[05:53] ---**
    Huh? What're you doing here?
**[05:58] ---**
    Actually… I mean, you see…
**[06:03] ---**
    You're…looking…
    awfully sexy…
**[06:08] ---**
    tonight.
**[06:10] ---**
    Hey, Jiraiya…
**[06:12] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[06:17] ---**
    Just what are you guys up to?
**[06:49] ---**
    It gets so cold when night falls.
**[07:00] ---**
    They won't attack us tonight.
**[07:11] ---**
    Hey…
**[07:13] ---**
    Why don't we talk about
    our dreams tonight?
**[07:17] ---**
    Dreams?
**[07:19] ---**
    If you have any dreams, that is.
**[07:24] ---**
    I thought all you only think
    about is pervy stuff.
**[07:28] ---**
    Jiraiya, it's an interesting topic
    for you to bring up.
**[07:33] ---**
    Well then, let's start with you, Tsunade.
**[07:38] ---**
    Me?
**[07:43] ---**
    I want to see the world
    from one corner to the other.
**[07:47] ---**
    The world, you say?!
**[07:49] ---**
    That's a bold dream!
**[07:53] ---**
    I'm going to win at
    every casino there is!
**[07:56] ---**
    So?
**[07:57] ---**
    What's your dream?
**[08:01] ---**
    My dream is, perhaps…
**[08:04] ---**
    to protect you during your travels.
**[08:09] ---**
    No thanks.
**[08:23] ---**
    Orochimaru!
**[08:24] ---**
    Open up and talk about yourself
    once in a while.
**[08:30] ---**
    Dreams…
**[08:34] ---**
    I don't have a dream.
**[08:37] ---**
    You're such a boring guy.
**[08:40] ---**
    Leave him alone!
**[08:42] ---**
    To each his own.
**[08:45] ---**
    Besides, there are things
    we want to keep to ourselves—
**[08:47] ---**
    I want to master ninjutsu.
**[08:51] ---**
    And become stronger than anyone.
**[08:54] ---**
    Oh? For what purpose?
**[08:57] ---**
    For what purpose?
**[09:00] ---**
    I've never thought
    about such a thing.
**[09:04] ---**
    I see…
**[09:06] ---**
    That's so like you.
**[09:09] ---**
    Don't talk like you know me.
**[09:11] ---**
    Oh! I know!
**[09:13] ---**
    Wouldn't it be great to write
    about what we see and hear
**[09:16] ---**
    on our world travels, Tsunade?
**[09:18] ---**
    You can go by yourself.
**[09:22] ---**
    That would be…
**[09:24] ---**
    so…
**[09:28] ---**
    lonely.
**[10:10] ---**
    They're coming one after another!
**[10:12] ---**
    Yeah!
**[10:13] ---**
    I'll pulverize them!
**[10:46] ---**
    Yeah…
**[10:49] ---**
    This is the last.
**[10:53] ---**
    Thank you for the food.
**[11:03] ---**
    I think I've mastered
    *nitsuke* dishes.
**[11:09] ---**
    SIMMERED FISH [NITSUKE]
    EVERYDAY RECIPES FOR FISH
    
    
**[11:11] ---**
    SIMMERED FISH [NITSUKE]
    EVERYDAY RECIPES FOR FISH
    
    I guess I'll try meuniere next.
**[11:32] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[11:55] ---**
    Hey, Dad… Dad!
**[11:58] ---**
    Oh well, sure, what the heck.
**[12:00] ---**
    Yay…yay!
**[12:02] ---**
    Isn't that nice?
**[12:03] ---**
    ICHIRAKU RAMEN
    
**[12:12] ---**
    This place is great!
**[12:30] ---**
    Kakashi, you are terrific.
**[12:33] ---**
    If I let my guard down
    even for a moment,
**[12:35] ---**
    I think you'd beat me.
**[12:38] ---**
    Thank you.
**[12:39] ---**
    Isn't Kakashi great?
**[12:42] ---**
    Well, his dad is a genius.
**[12:45] ---**
    Even if he doesn't do anything,
    he probably still has the skills.
**[12:53] ---**
    Anyway, I'm an Uchiha.
**[12:55] ---**
    I'll keep doing my best.
**[13:00] ---**
    I bet he's…a closet pervert.
**[13:06] ---**
    You're great, Kakashi.
**[13:08] ---**
    Think so?
**[13:09] ---**
    Do you practice all the time?
**[13:11] ---**
    Seriously, you're amazing.
**[13:13] ---**
    Not really…
**[13:15] ---**
    I kind of read a few books.
**[13:52] ---**
    ULTIMATE TECHNIQUES
    
    
**[13:53] ---**
    ULTIMATE TECHNIQUES
    
    All right!
**[14:07] ---**
    He's… He's kinda amazing.
**[14:13] ---**
    Oh!
**[14:21] ---**
    Amazing…
**[14:22] ---**
    Kakashi, you're amazing!
**[14:35] ---**
    Come on out.
**[14:37] ---**
    I made a lot.
**[14:39] ---**
    So you might as well stay and eat.
**[14:43] ---**
    You caught me!
**[14:45] ---**
    I'm sorry…
**[15:00] ---**
    So Kakashi, you live by yourself?
**[15:03] ---**
    Hey! That thing you do,
    that "whoosh-whoosh" is great.
**[15:08] ---**
    Yeah…that "whoosh-whoosh."
**[15:10] ---**
    It's amazing.
**[15:11] ---**
    Think so?
**[15:16] ---**
    It's so cute…
**[15:18] ---**
    What is this, Kakashi?
**[15:20] ---**
    River fish meunière…
**[15:23] ---**
    Kakashi-style.
**[15:25] ---**
    – Thank you for the food!
    – Thank you for the food!
**[15:33] ---**
    Kakashi, this tastes really good!
**[15:36] ---**
    It's like the food you get
    in a restaurant.
**[15:39] ---**
    Yeah, this is great!
**[15:41] ---**
    You're amazing…
**[15:44] ---**
    Think so?
**[15:45] ---**
    Are you gonna become a chef?
**[15:49] ---**
    Huh? I doubt it.
**[15:51] ---**
    I guess not, huh?
**[16:10] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[16:28] ---**
    Hey, Kakashi!
**[16:34] ---**
    The food last night was great!
**[16:37] ---**
    It was really delicious.
**[16:40] ---**
    Hey, are you listening?
**[16:43] ---**
    Yeah…
**[16:46] ---**
    ICHIRAKU RAMEN
    
    Hey, this place is good.
**[16:48] ---**
    ICHIRAKU RAMEN
    
    It's looks delicious. I wanna try it.
**[16:50] ---**
    Hey, hold on!
**[16:51] ---**
    Let's go here next time.
**[16:53] ---**
    Yeah.
**[16:55] ---**
    Kakashi…
**[16:57] ---**
    Do you want to spend the springtime
    of your youth with me?
**[17:01] ---**
    Springtime of youth?
**[17:03] ---**
    You are my eternal rival…
    My man of destiny!
**[17:11] ---**
    Come on.
**[17:13] ---**
    Fight me!
**[17:14] ---**
    Sorry, no.
**[17:20] ---**
    Here I come!
**[17:26] ---**
    Instant kill…
**[17:28] ---**
    A-Amazing.
**[17:30] ---**
    My eternal rival is…amazing.
**[17:40] ---**
    I'm home.
**[17:49] ---**
    Oh yeah…
**[17:53] ---**
    It's tomorrow.
**[18:00] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[18:23] ---**
    Dad…
**[18:38] ---**
    You broke the rules
    for your friends' sake, right?
**[18:46] ---**
    I've made friends too.
**[18:49] ---**
    But I'll never be like you, Dad.
**[18:54] ---**
    I'll obey the rules.
**[19:21] ---**
    I'll see you later, Dad.
**[19:38] ---**
    I'm leaving.
**[19:48] ---**
    'Morning!
**[19:50] ---**
    Are you feeling better?
**[19:51] ---**
    You were absent yesterday and
**[19:53] ---**
    it's no fun when
    you're not around, Kakashi.
**[19:56] ---**
    Is that right?
**[19:59] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[20:01] ---**
    I lost to you last time…
**[20:03] ---**
    But that was the Might Guy
    of the past.
**[20:06] ---**
    The newly reborn Might Guy
    will never lose to you!
**[20:14] ---**
    Your face is still swollen.
**[20:16] ---**
    Of course!
**[20:17] ---**
    The springtime of youth
    never comes to an end!
**[20:20] ---**
    The springtime of youth…
**[20:23] ---**
    Come on, let's fight!
**[20:26] ---**
    Oh!
**[20:28] ---**
    Kakashi!
**[20:33] ---**
    Oh! Guy's keeping up!
**[20:44] ---**
    Do it, Kakashi!
**[20:48] ---**
    Come on, Kakashi!
**[20:51] ---**
    The light…of spring…will…
**[20:56] ---**
    never…wane!
**[21:01] ---**
    Maybe not.
**[21:07] ---**
    – The end!
    – The end!
**[22:39] ---**
    The next episode is all
    about Sasuke, ya' know!
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    After the last battle,
    where I clashed with Naruto,
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    and after the Fourth
    Great Ninja War ended,
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    I went on a journey to
    atone for my sins.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    With the Sharingan in my right eye,
    and the Rinnegan in my left…
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    What future will
    these eyes see now?
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    These eyes that once
    only saw darkness?
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 1:
    The Exploding Human."
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    This is a story about my atonement.
    
    
    
**[23:07] ---**
    SASUKE'S STORY: SUNRISE, PART 1:
    THE EXPLODING HUMAN

**[00:04] ---**
    You came all this way
    to the hot springs.
**[00:07] ---**
    You should take it easy
    and stay a bit longer.
**[00:10] ---**
    At any rate, I'm an impatient man.
**[00:12] ---**
    There seems to be a storm
    headed our way, so do be careful.
**[00:17] ---**
    Thank you very much
    for everything.
**[00:27] ---**
    I better hurry.
**[00:35] ---**
    You're Tadaichi, a shinobi
    of the Hidden Leaf, correct?
**[00:39] ---**
    Well yes, I am from the Hidden Leaf.
**[00:42] ---**
    But I wouldn't call myself a shinobi.
    I'm just a lowly merchant.
**[00:47] ---**
    You can't fool me.
**[00:49] ---**
    I checked up on you and found out
    what you did when were in the ANBU.
**[00:56] ---**
    Visual Jutsu…?!
**[01:05] ---**
    Beautifully done.
**[01:09] ---**
    I'm going to stain everything red.
**[02:43] ---**
    *The Exploding Human*
**[02:46] ---**
    So, what are you doing here?
**[02:49] ---**
    Sakura said she was coming
    to see you, so I tagged along.
**[02:57] ---**
    What is it, Sakura?
**[03:00] ---**
    There have been incidents of
    Hidden Leaf shinobi going missing.
**[03:05] ---**
    Going missing?
**[03:08] ---**
    So you noticed it too, Sakura.
**[03:10] ---**
    You were already aware of it,
    Kakashi Sensei?
**[03:13] ---**
    Yes. But why were you investigating
    something like that?
**[03:17] ---**
    Well, there's a regular
    at Ino's family's flower shop…
**[03:24] ---**
    It's coming from the Aun Gate.
**[03:26] ---**
    I'll go check it out, ya know!
**[03:29] ---**
    Oh…
**[03:30] ---**
    Wait, Naruto!
**[03:32] ---**
    Hey, you two!
**[03:37] ---**
    I'm counting on you.
**[03:39] ---**
    Run! Get away from here!
**[03:48] ---**
    It's the Security Unit…
**[03:58] ---**
    Why are they only using defense?
**[04:01] ---**
    I'm gonna help 'em!
**[04:02] ---**
    Wait!
**[04:04] ---**
    Ino? Shikamaru…Choji?
**[04:08] ---**
    What happened?
**[04:11] ---**
    It can't be…
**[04:13] ---**
    Mr. Tadaichi…
**[04:16] ---**
    That's Mr. Tadaichi!
**[04:18] ---**
    Mr. Tadaichi?
**[04:20] ---**
    You mean your regular
    from the flower shop?
**[04:24] ---**
    Are you sure that's him, Ino?
**[04:26] ---**
    There's no mistake!
**[04:28] ---**
    But he'd never turn against
    the Hidden Leaf!
**[04:33] ---**
    So why?
**[04:35] ---**
    So does that mean…
**[04:37] ---**
    there's a possibility
    he's under genjutsu?
**[04:42] ---**
    And the others could be
    the ones who went missing!
**[04:44] ---**
    What?!
**[04:46] ---**
    Then…these are Hidden Leaf shinobi?
**[04:51] ---**
    That's why we can't do
    anything other than defend!
**[05:08] ---**
    He didn't even dodge.
**[05:16] ---**
    Doesn't he feel any pain?
**[05:34] ---**
    This is bad!
**[05:35] ---**
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
**[05:40] ---**
    Naruto?!
**[05:42] ---**
    We're gonna jump away.
**[06:04] ---**
    He's an exploding human!
**[06:07] ---**
    Mr. Tadaichi…
**[06:12] ---**
    It's okay.
**[06:15] ---**
    Let's go tend to the wounded.
**[06:21] ---**
    Hey!
**[06:22] ---**
    They're getting in!
**[06:24] ---**
    Not…them too!
**[06:38] ---**
    It's too big!
**[06:40] ---**
    Damn!
**[06:41] ---**
    Choji…
**[06:42] ---**
    Can you bring out your wings
    with your expansion?
**[06:44] ---**
    G-Got it!
**[07:04] ---**
    I'll help!
**[07:06] ---**
    Let's go, Kurama!
**[07:12] ---**
    Right!
**[07:21] ---**
    Did…it help at all?
**[07:23] ---**
    Good job!
**[07:25] ---**
    Looks like it ain't over yet.
**[07:31] ---**
    There are more of them.
**[07:35] ---**
    Naruto!
**[07:37] ---**
    Getting wounded is probably
    what causes them to explode.
**[07:40] ---**
    I saw strange chakra being
    released from the wound,
**[07:43] ---**
    and the body began
    to change shape.
**[07:45] ---**
    Which means,
**[07:47] ---**
    we have to be careful
    how we engage them.
**[07:49] ---**
    Naruto!
**[07:50] ---**
    Hinata!
**[07:52] ---**
    What's happening?
**[07:55] ---**
    It seems everyone's under
    a genjutsu.
**[07:58] ---**
    Can you see if
    someone's controlling them?
**[08:01] ---**
    All right, I'll check.
**[08:05] ---**
    Byakugan!
**[08:10] ---**
    I don't see anyone.
**[08:13] ---**
    No one?!
**[08:16] ---**
    Then how are they being manipulated?
**[08:20] ---**
    There's a strange chakra
    moving around in their bodies.
**[08:24] ---**
    Maybe that's what's controlling them.
**[08:27] ---**
    So we just have to take
    that chakra away?
**[08:32] ---**
    The chakra is circulating like
    it's part of their body.
**[08:36] ---**
    The chakra could be fused internally.
**[08:38] ---**
    So you're saying
    we can't just peel it away easily.
**[08:42] ---**
    First things first.
**[08:44] ---**
    We have to start
    by capturing them.
**[08:47] ---**
    But Shikamaru,
**[08:48] ---**
    it'll be hard to capture them
    without inflicting any wounds.
**[08:53] ---**
    I just had a great idea!
**[09:03] ---**
    Okay, let's go!
**[09:09] ---**
    First, I'll have my clones
    stop the exploding humans.
**[09:14] ---**
    Shadow Possession Jutsu!
**[09:19] ---**
    Then Shikamaru will capture them
    with his Shadow Possession Jutsu.
**[09:23] ---**
    Hinata!
**[09:24] ---**
    Right!
**[09:28] ---**
    And lastly, Hinata will pierce
    their critical chakra points
**[09:30] ---**
    so that they can't move.
**[09:32] ---**
    They won't be able to move
    for a day.
**[09:36] ---**
    You okay, Hinata?
**[09:38] ---**
    Yes.
**[09:40] ---**
    I'll fight with you.
**[10:04] ---**
    It's no good.
**[10:06] ---**
    My Genjutsu Reversal has
    no effect against
**[10:08] ---**
    the special kind of chakra
    circulating in the body.
**[10:13] ---**
    Don't get so depressed.
**[10:16] ---**
    Whoever did it,
    that's a genjutsu unknown to us.
**[10:22] ---**
    It has to be the work of someone
    with extraordinary skill.
**[10:27] ---**
    So it will require someone
    with exceptional Visual Jutsu powers.
**[10:32] ---**
    Visual Jutsu?
**[10:36] ---**
    Good observation!
**[10:38] ---**
    I-I didn't say anything!
**[10:42] ---**
    Didn't say what?
**[10:44] ---**
    Don't ask!
**[10:46] ---**
    Naruto!
**[10:48] ---**
    We may not be able to see anything.
**[10:51] ---**
    But the one who possesses both
    the Sharingan and Rinnegan just might.
**[10:55] ---**
    Huh?! You mean…?
**[10:58] ---**
    I'll call Sasuke back.
**[11:02] ---**
    Can I ask you to do it?
**[11:03] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:06] ---**
    Sasuke's gonna come back!
**[11:25] ---**
    *I am all alone.*
**[11:30] ---**
    *I alone can bear the weight*
    *of all the hatred now.*
**[11:34] ---**
    *You don't have a clue about*
    *how Itachi lived!*
**[11:39] ---**
    *Why do all that just*
    *to get in my way?*
**[11:46] ---**
    *‘Cuz you're my friend.*
**[11:48] ---**
    *I've heard that before.*
**[11:50] ---**
    *But what exactly does that mean?*
**[11:55] ---**
    *You ask me to explain it,*
    *but I really can't put it into words.*
**[11:58] ---**
    *It's just that…*
**[12:00] ---**
    *when I see you take on stuff*
    *and get all messed up…*
**[12:06] ---**
    *It…*
**[12:08] ---**
    *kinda…*
**[12:10] ---**
    *hurts me.*
**[13:06] ---**
    Return to the Hidden Leaf Village, huh?
**[13:18] ---**
    A human exploded!
**[13:25] ---**
    D-Damn you!
**[13:26] ---**
    Stop!
**[13:55] ---**
    Don't tell me
    that's the exploding human
**[13:58] ---**
    that attacked the Hidden Leaf?!
**[14:00] ---**
    Why? A village like this?
**[14:02] ---**
    Old Man Iou!
**[14:09] ---**
    Chino, stall them.
**[14:10] ---**
    You got it, Nowaki!
**[14:14] ---**
    Water Style: Water Formation Wall!
**[14:22] ---**
    Shinobi?
**[14:26] ---**
    What's going on?
**[14:29] ---**
    W-What?!
**[14:31] ---**
    Are you one of them?
**[14:34] ---**
    You've got it all wrong.
**[14:35] ---**
    Silence!
**[14:37] ---**
    They asked you to come
    and get even, didn't they?
**[14:41] ---**
    Get even?
**[14:43] ---**
    Young ones!
    What are you doing?
**[14:45] ---**
    Damn it!
**[14:48] ---**
    Sorry, I don't have anything
    against you, but…
**[14:54] ---**
    Water Style…
**[14:57] ---**
    Rain Hail!
**[14:59] ---**
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
**[15:04] ---**
    What?!
**[15:05] ---**
    I didn't know Fire Style
    could beat Water Style!
**[15:09] ---**
    Get back.
**[15:18] ---**
    A Change in Nature of Wind, huh?
**[15:22] ---**
    Oh, come on!
    Hurry up and kill him!
**[15:26] ---**
    No one told me
    he was so strong!
**[15:30] ---**
    You spineless—!
**[15:40] ---**
    You can tell me later why
    you mistook me for someone else.
**[15:53] ---**
    That eye…
**[15:55] ---**
    The Sharingan?!
**[15:58] ---**
    Uchiha…
**[16:01] ---**
    Why did the villagers end up like this?
**[16:04] ---**
    How should I know?!
**[16:06] ---**
    The one you mistook me for
    is involved in some way, right?
**[16:10] ---**
    I've got nothing to say!
**[16:15] ---**
    I-I'm sorry.
**[16:16] ---**
    We don't know
    what's going on either.
**[16:21] ---**
    From the looks of it,
    you're not from this village, are you?
**[16:26] ---**
    We're former shinobi
    who are now traveling performers.
**[16:29] ---**
    We finished a gig at a resort
**[16:31] ---**
    in the Village Hidden
    in the Hot Springs.
**[16:34] ---**
    It's pretty profitable there
    for entertainers like us.
**[16:40] ---**
    Anyway…
**[16:41] ---**
    We decided to head somewhere else,
**[16:44] ---**
    so we came through the Bamboo Village
    to stock up on supplies.
**[16:48] ---**
    And Old Man Iou's daughter
    is such a great person!
**[16:52] ---**
    She made us really good food!
**[16:56] ---**
    By the way, is my daughter…
    Is Amino okay?
**[17:00] ---**
    Amino!
**[17:03] ---**
    We had all the women and
    children take shelter…
**[17:11] ---**
    Hey!
**[17:16] ---**
    We have no choice
    but to ask these guys directly.
**[17:29] ---**
    Amino?!
**[17:31] ---**
    An exploding human?!
**[17:34] ---**
    Mr. Iou, don't go near.
    It's too dangerous.
**[17:37] ---**
    Who cares if it's dangerous?!
**[17:41] ---**
    That's my daughter!
**[17:43] ---**
    Let go… Let me go!
**[17:49] ---**
    Amino!
**[18:12] ---**
    I'll never forgive you.
**[18:15] ---**
    Never…Fuushin…
**[18:19] ---**
    I'll never forgive you, Fuushin!
**[18:40] ---**
    Who is Fuushin?
**[18:43] ---**
    The leader of the Lightning Gang.
**[18:46] ---**
    The Lightning Gang?
**[18:51] ---**
    They take money from bad people
**[18:55] ---**
    and distribute it
    to poor people like us.
**[18:59] ---**
    They're honorable thieves.
**[19:01] ---**
    So why would their leader
    try to get even?
**[19:07] ---**
    This is just what I heard…
**[19:10] ---**
    The Lightning Gang was betrayed
    by the Hidden Mist…
**[19:15] ---**
    It seems they barely escaped
    with their lives
**[19:18] ---**
    and found their way to this village.
**[19:21] ---**
    Just for a little while…
    Let us rest here.
**[19:24] ---**
    Please go somewhere else.
**[19:26] ---**
    What?
**[19:27] ---**
    If we harbor you,
    we'll end up paying dearly for it!
**[19:33] ---**
    We have no intentions of
    troubling the village!
**[19:36] ---**
    We'll leave right away!
**[19:37] ---**
    Just because you take money
    from others and give it away,
**[19:40] ---**
    don't think you can do
    whatever you want!
**[19:45] ---**
    The village rejected
    the Lightning Gang.
**[19:54] ---**
    What are you going to do?
**[19:56] ---**
    I'm going to look inside memories
    of the exploding humans.
**[19:58] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:57] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[21:01] ---**
    That red eye…
**[21:03] ---**
    There's no doubt about it…
**[21:05] ---**
    It's a Kekkei Genkai.
**[22:40] ---**
    It's Sasuke, right?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    You can call me Yamato.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    The attack of the Exploding Humans
    in the Leaf…
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    There's a possibility that Orochimaru
    has information
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    that links all of the victims.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    It would make it easier for us
    to cooperate,
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    if you give us each and every detail.
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Sasuke's Story:
    Sunrise, Part 2: Coliseum"
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    We just have to do
    what needs to be done.
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

    *Naruto Shippuden, Sasuke's Story:*
    *Sunrise, Part 2: Coliseum*
    
**[01:44] ---**
    "Encountered Exploding Humans."
**[01:47] ---**
    "Will investigate independently.
    Please approve."
**[01:55] ---**
    Just how long will
    your journey continue?
**[02:14] ---**
    Sasuke, where are you going?
**[02:19] ---**
    You're Sasuke Uchiha, right?
**[02:23] ---**
    The lone survivor of
    the exalted Uchiha Clan.
**[02:28] ---**
    I knew it the moment I saw
    your Sharingan last night.
**[02:32] ---**
    Where are you going now?
**[02:35] ---**
    That has nothing to do with you.
**[02:37] ---**
    It does involve us!
**[02:40] ---**
    Amino…
**[02:42] ---**
    …made us yummy meals.
**[02:47] ---**
    She was kind.
**[02:52] ---**
    You're going to look for
    that Fuushin guy, right?
**[02:58] ---**
    But isn't he the one who changed
    Amino and the others
**[03:00] ---**
    into the human something
    or other, right?
**[03:03] ---**
    We're going with you.
**[03:05] ---**
    I think we may be able to help.
**[03:13] ---**
    And don't give us that look that says
    "I don't need you guys!"
**[03:17] ---**
    That will only make us more determined!
**[03:19] ---**
    Sasuke dear, are you listening?!
**[03:26] ---**
    I don't care what you do.
    Just stop calling me that.
**[03:29] ---**
    I figure I'm older than you,
    Sasuke dear.
**[03:33] ---**
    So I can call you "dear."
**[03:36] ---**
    Older? You?
**[03:39] ---**
    Ahem!
**[03:48] ---**
    By that much?
**[03:49] ---**
    What do you mean by "that much"?
**[03:55] ---**
    Sasuke dear, it's not good
    to judge people by their looks
**[03:59] ---**
    or by your impression of them.
**[04:03] ---**
    *You shouldn't judge people*
**[04:05] ---**
    *by their looks or*
    *by your impression of them.*
**[04:07] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
    *Are you going to join too, Big Brother?*
**[04:10] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
    *I wonder…*
**[04:12] ---**
    *You should! When I'm older…*
**[04:15] ---**
    *I'm going to join*
    *the Leaf Police Force too!*
**[04:17] ---**
    *Forgive me, Sasuke…*
**[04:20] ---**
    *This is the last time.*
**[04:23] ---**
    *No matter what happens from now,*
    *I will love you always.*
**[04:29] ---**
    Sasuke dear!
**[04:32] ---**
    Sasuke dear!
**[04:35] ---**
    By the way… Have you been back to
    the Hidden Leaf Village, Sasuke dear?
**[04:41] ---**
    What? Ignoring me again?
**[04:44] ---**
    What about reviving the Uchiha Clan?
    You're the lone survivor, right?
**[04:49] ---**
    Hello! Are you there, Sasuke?!
**[04:52] ---**
    Chino, stop it.
**[04:55] ---**
    Whose side are you on anyway?
    You know, you…
**[05:04] ---**
    Hey, where are we going?
**[05:09] ---**
    Ignoring me again!
**[05:12] ---**
    I mean…
**[05:14] ---**
    Hey.
**[05:15] ---**
    My name isn't "hey"!
**[05:19] ---**
    You asked if I'm going to
    look for Fuushin.
**[05:21] ---**
    The answer is yes.
**[05:23] ---**
    Huh?
**[05:25] ---**
    That's what I should do right now.
**[05:29] ---**
    A-Any ideas on where to look?
**[05:32] ---**
    The only thing that can create
    an Exploding Human
**[05:35] ---**
    is a Kekkei Genkai.
**[05:39] ---**
    H-Hey, Sasuke dear…
    Hold on a minute…
**[05:48] ---**
    You think you'll find him inside
    that really scary-looking cave?
**[05:55] ---**
    Ignoring me again!
**[06:06] ---**
    You're Sasuke, right?
**[06:09] ---**
    You can call me Yamato.
**[06:13] ---**
    Since you're watching over this place,
    it must mean that Orochimaru is here.
**[06:18] ---**
    O-Orochimaru? You mean that—?!
**[06:21] ---**
    What's the purpose of your visit?
**[06:24] ---**
    I can't allow just anyone through
    to see Orochimaru.
**[06:29] ---**
    Regarding the Exploding Humans
    that attacked the Hidden Leaf…
**[06:32] ---**
    It's possible Orochimaru may have
    information about the perpetrator.
**[06:40] ---**
    Did you send word about this
    to Lord Sixth?
**[06:43] ---**
    I intend to, if I get results.
**[06:47] ---**
    It would be much easier for us
    to coordinate things,
**[06:50] ---**
    if you'd send us progress reports…
**[06:55] ---**
    However…
**[06:57] ---**
    You're doing this all for the sake
    for the Hidden Leaf, right?
**[07:05] ---**
    Yeah…
**[07:09] ---**
    Then there's nothing else to say.
**[07:12] ---**
    I'll send Lord Sixth a report.
**[07:15] ---**
    Remember, we're comrades.
**[07:17] ---**
    I'm sure Mr. Kakashi also taught you
    the importance of trust and teamwork.
**[07:24] ---**
    Thank you…
**[07:38] ---**
    It's been a long time, Sasuke.
**[07:42] ---**
    You've brought some
    interesting-looking friends with you.
**[07:47] ---**
    Do you know Fuushin
    of the Lightning Gang?
**[07:50] ---**
    What? Not even a greeting?
    You're as blunt as ever.
**[07:56] ---**
    Tell me everything you know.
**[07:59] ---**
    Is that any way to ask
    a person something?
**[08:03] ---**
    Hurry up.
**[08:07] ---**
    Fuushin possesses a Kekkei Genkai…
**[08:10] ---**
    I believe he originally was a member
    of En Oyashiro's guard unit.
**[08:13] ---**
    En Oyashiro?
**[08:16] ---**
    He's not affiliated with any group.
**[08:19] ---**
    Even though he's a shinobi,
    he's an arms trader.
**[08:24] ---**
    He'll sell weapons to anyone
    for the right price,
**[08:28] ---**
    so he's known as
    the "Merchant of Death."
**[08:31] ---**
    He's amassed a huge fortune
    during his lifetime.
**[08:36] ---**
    Where is he?
**[08:37] ---**
    Who knows…
**[08:39] ---**
    He has a hideout
    even better hidden than mine.
**[08:43] ---**
    I think finding him
    will be very difficult.
**[08:47] ---**
    For you, even the difficult is easy.
**[08:54] ---**
    Does that mean you trust me?
**[08:57] ---**
    Well, I don't know where to find him,
    but I can lure him out.
**[09:05] ---**
    However…
    that may cause a few problems.
**[09:10] ---**
    Why do you think I came here?
**[09:13] ---**
    How unlike you…
**[09:16] ---**
    I'm just doing what I have to.
**[09:21] ---**
    I sense the wind.
**[09:24] ---**
    Wait here.
    It will take some time to prepare.
**[09:34] ---**
    Sasuke dear!
**[09:36] ---**
    I didn't know that
    you knew Orochimaru.
**[09:39] ---**
    I don't recall ever telling you.
**[09:44] ---**
    Sasuke!
**[09:46] ---**
    Hey! Why didn't you
    let me know you're coming?
**[09:52] ---**
    Sasuke dear…
**[09:54] ---**
    "Sasuke dear"?!
**[09:57] ---**
    What? Is she your girlfriend, Sasuke?
**[10:02] ---**
    You mean, that ugly hag?
**[10:07] ---**
    Hey! Who're you calling ugly?!
**[10:10] ---**
    Sasuke, say it's not true!
**[10:13] ---**
    It's not true.
**[10:18] ---**
    You should've seen
    the look of panic on your face.
**[10:21] ---**
    Shut up!
**[10:23] ---**
    If it weren't for that
    big mouth of yours!
**[10:26] ---**
    That's no excuse for looking like…
**[10:28] ---**
    - It's been awhile.
    - it's the end of the world!
**[10:31] ---**
    You've been continuing your travels?
**[10:34] ---**
    Yeah.
**[10:37] ---**
    You haven't gone back to
    Hidden Leaf Village?
**[10:39] ---**
    See, you're worried sick
    about Sasuke.
**[10:42] ---**
    You're really getting on my nerves!
**[10:46] ---**
    Quiet, you guys.
**[10:50] ---**
    I'm ready. Shall we go?
**[10:53] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru, are you going out?
**[10:57] ---**
    Sasuke and I are going to the sea.
**[11:00] ---**
    Huh?!
**[11:01] ---**
    The ocean? With Sasuke?
**[11:04] ---**
    You all will stay and mind the fort.
**[11:07] ---**
    The sea with Lord Orochimaru?
    I can't quite picture it.
**[11:12] ---**
    Wait, that's news to me too.
**[11:14] ---**
    To be more precise,
    a solitary island in the sea.
**[11:18] ---**
    There's a paradise for the wealthy there.
**[11:22] ---**
    And that's where En Oyashiro is?
**[11:25] ---**
    If he takes the bait.
**[11:31] ---**
    - Nowaki.
    - Yeah.
**[11:33] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[11:37] ---**
    Bleh!
**[11:40] ---**
    What's with that girl?
    Wanna fight?
**[11:43] ---**
    Oh, what a drag.
**[11:51] ---**
    Sasuke working for
    the sake of strangers…
**[11:55] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf was attacked…
    They're not strangers…
**[12:01] ---**
    But he didn't return to the village.
**[12:04] ---**
    I wonder if it's hard
    for him to go back?
**[12:06] ---**
    Don't you guys get it?
**[12:09] ---**
    The big war might be over,
**[12:12] ---**
    but there are still lots of
    dangerous characters lurking around.
**[12:15] ---**
    As long as Sasuke has those eyes…
**[12:17] ---**
    shinobi will continue
    to attack the village.
**[12:20] ---**
    So by showing that Sasuke Uchiha
    isn't in Hidden Leaf Village
**[12:24] ---**
    and he's still journeying
    around the world,
**[12:27] ---**
    it lessens the possibility that
    the village will be harmed.
**[12:31] ---**
    So then,
    Sasuke has to continue traveling?
**[12:36] ---**
    That might be it.
**[12:51] ---**
    Still…
**[12:52] ---**
    The fact that you, the one who instigated
    the destruction of the Hidden Leaf,
**[12:56] ---**
    the assassination of the Fourth Kazekage
    and countless other horrific crimes,
**[13:00] ---**
    can still move around freely
    is quite astonishing.
**[13:07] ---**
    I'm not free.
**[13:10] ---**
    And who are you to talk, Sasuke?
**[13:14] ---**
    By all rights, you should be locked up.
**[13:19] ---**
    But even Kabuto,
**[13:21] ---**
    one of the war criminals from
    the Fourth Ninja World War
**[13:25] ---**
    is now the director of an orphanage…
**[13:28] ---**
    Kabuto is?
**[13:29] ---**
    Of course, compared to me,
**[13:32] ---**
    the likelihood that Kabuto will
    resort to evil is lower.
**[13:37] ---**
    How can you be so sure?
**[13:41] ---**
    Don't you trust the power
    of Itachi Uchiha?
**[13:47] ---**
    You and I, and Kabuto
    could just be insurance…
**[13:51] ---**
    in case something happens that cannot
    be countered with common sense.
**[13:55] ---**
    Insurance?
**[13:57] ---**
    In every era, a maverick appears.
**[14:01] ---**
    When that happens, there may be
    a need for people like us
**[14:04] ---**
    who possess powers
    considered to be inhuman.
**[14:07] ---**
    There are things that cannot be
    protected by righteousness alone.
**[14:11] ---**
    If that's the case, keeping us around
    like pets might be mutually beneficial.
**[14:18] ---**
    But…
**[14:19] ---**
    your friend would never even
    think of such a tactic.
**[14:27] ---**
    Probably not.
**[14:32] ---**
    There…
    You can see it in the distance.
**[14:52] ---**
    Where are we?
**[14:54] ---**
    This is an island that
    you can't find on any map.
**[14:58] ---**
    Oh…
**[14:59] ---**
    Let's go.
**[15:19] ---**
    What is this place?
**[15:21] ---**
    It's called the Coliseum.
**[15:24] ---**
    Coliseum?
**[15:30] ---**
    Is everyone enjoying themselves so far?
**[15:36] ---**
    Honors to the victor!
    Despair to the vanquished!
**[15:39] ---**
    As you know, the rules are simple!
**[15:41] ---**
    The one with your ID tag goes up against
    one with another person's ID tag.
**[15:45] ---**
    And the winner is whoever manages
    to take his opponent's ID tag…
**[15:49] ---**
    Simply put, it's a survival match!
**[15:54] ---**
    What's going on, Orochimaru?
**[15:57] ---**
    You heard the explanation.
**[15:59] ---**
    The wealthy patrons here pit their shinobi
    against shinobi employed by others.
**[16:04] ---**
    The losing shinobi becomes theirs.
**[16:09] ---**
    And now, today's semi-final match!
**[16:13] ---**
    Now entering the ring…
**[16:15] ---**
    Wearing the ID tag of President Makibi
    of the Makibi Corporation…
**[16:20] ---**
    Raimei, the Black Lightning Flash!
**[16:25] ---**
    His opponent…
**[16:27] ---**
    Wearing the ID tag of President Himeyuri
    of the Himeyuri Company…
**[16:30] ---**
    Suzuran, the Eerie Flame
    of the White Moon!
**[16:35] ---**
    This place is like a casino.
**[16:40] ---**
    All right, let's begin!
**[16:43] ---**
    It's now or never, no foul play,
    no grudges afterwards…
**[16:46] ---**
    A single-bout challenge!
**[16:48] ---**
    Ready?
**[16:49] ---**
    Fight!
**[17:05] ---**
    I don't have time to waste
    on sick hobbies.
**[17:09] ---**
    Where is En Oyashiro?
**[17:11] ---**
    I wonder…
**[17:13] ---**
    But this is about the only place
    that he'll show up.
**[17:19] ---**
    Although, he won't come
    if there's no shinobi he wants.
**[17:23] ---**
    Whoa! Suzuran is down!
**[17:27] ---**
    The winner is Raimei!
**[17:30] ---**
    President Makibi is overjoyed!
**[17:35] ---**
    You're useless!
**[17:37] ---**
    Why do you think
    I kept you all this time?!
**[17:42] ---**
    You ingrate…
**[17:45] ---**
    This place is worthless.
**[17:47] ---**
    Then why don't you help?
**[17:51] ---**
    To a victim, the assailant and
    a third party are no different.
**[17:56] ---**
    People are no better than the assailant
    if they didn't try to help.
**[18:02] ---**
    If you only pity the loser and do nothing
    to stop the decadence of the rich…
**[18:09] ---**
    you're just as guilty, Sasuke.
**[18:12] ---**
    Chino, stop.
**[18:18] ---**
    Chino!
**[18:22] ---**
    Was this sight too shocking
    for a child?
**[18:26] ---**
    No, she's older than me.
**[18:30] ---**
    What?
**[18:32] ---**
    The wait is finally over!
**[18:34] ---**
    Now, for the main event!
**[18:36] ---**
    Wearing En Oyashiro's ID tag is Futsu!
**[18:42] ---**
    It seems he took the bait.
**[18:45] ---**
    And his opponent will be wearing
    Lord Orochimaru's ID tag…
**[18:50] ---**
    The legendary shinobi who attacked
    the Five Kage Conference…
**[18:54] ---**
    The last Uchiha…
    Sasuke Uchiha!
**[19:04] ---**
    What is the meaning of this?!
**[19:06] ---**
    I told you. Oyashiro will only
    appear for something he wants.
**[19:13] ---**
    He is…a collector of Kekkei Genkai.
**[19:16] ---**
    A collector of Kekkei Genkai?
**[19:19] ---**
    Yes…
**[19:20] ---**
    As for you with
    your Sharingan, Sasuke…
**[19:22] ---**
    He probably wants you so bad,
    he can taste it.
**[19:26] ---**
    Couldn't he have just searched
    for me if he knew I was here?
**[19:31] ---**
    Oyashiro is a careful man.
**[19:34] ---**
    He can easily camouflage his scent,
    let alone his appearance and form.
**[19:39] ---**
    Who knows where he is?
**[19:41] ---**
    However, he will definitely appear
    after the match for the ID tag transfer.
**[19:47] ---**
    That's the custom here.
**[19:51] ---**
    Wait a minute,
    could this be a default?
**[19:56] ---**
    Now go…
**[19:59] ---**
    He's here! He arrives, ready to go!
**[20:02] ---**
    Sasuke Uchiha has appeared!
**[20:06] ---**
    So that's Sasuke Uchiha.
**[20:10] ---**
    Let me see your Sharingan.
**[20:13] ---**
    All right, let us begin!
**[20:15] ---**
    It's now or never, no foul play,
    no grudges afterwards…
**[20:18] ---**
    A single-bout challenge!
**[20:20] ---**
    Ready…
**[20:21] ---**
    Fight!
**[20:40] ---**
    Vapor Style: Solid Fog Jutsu, eh?
**[20:51] ---**
    P-President Makibi?
**[20:53] ---**
    Is he all right?!
**[20:54] ---**
    A-Ambulance!
    Call an ambulance!
**[21:06] ---**
    *An Exploding Human?*
**[22:40] ---**
    The Chi no Ike Clan?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Seems the Uchiha Clan who
    suffered long through persecution
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    were also complicit in
    the persecution of others…
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Did Itachi know about this?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    You might find something
    if you go to Hell Valley.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    I want to see this Hell Valley
    with my own eyes…
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 3:
    Fuushin"
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    As the only survivor of
    the Uchiha Clan, I'll…
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:33] ---**
    *Sasuke's Story: Sunrise,*
    *Part 3: Fuushin*
**[01:48] ---**
    What is that?!
**[01:50] ---**
    Get away from him!
**[01:58] ---**
    So that's the Sharingan.
**[02:09] ---**
    What a surprise.
**[02:11] ---**
    Sasuke using his Sharingan
    to save someone's life…
**[02:16] ---**
    Huh?
**[02:18] ---**
    W-Watch out!
**[02:24] ---**
    What happened?!
**[02:28] ---**
    Lady Himeyuri!
**[02:30] ---**
    Just what is going on?
**[02:34] ---**
    Leave one of them to me!
**[02:37] ---**
    We can't save them…
**[02:39] ---**
    but we can lessen the damage!
**[02:48] ---**
    How bothersome.
**[03:24] ---**
    Chino!
**[03:42] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:44] ---**
    I didn't expect you to save me…
    Sasuke dear.
**[03:51] ---**
    Thank you.
**[03:52] ---**
    Chino!
**[03:56] ---**
    Are you okay?
**[03:58] ---**
    I'm fine, I'm fine... Ow!
**[04:01] ---**
    You need to get that taken care of.
**[04:05] ---**
    They're the Exploding Humans that
    attacked the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[04:10] ---**
    They're quite troublesome.
**[04:16] ---**
    I can't make contact with him,
    so I'm going to get going.
**[04:21] ---**
    Looks like you won't get
    to meet Oyashiro.
**[04:24] ---**
    What?
**[04:26] ---**
    I told you, didn't I?
    He's a very cautious man.
**[04:31] ---**
    I can't imagine he'd stick around
    after all this uproar.
**[04:37] ---**
    And since the match
    ended midway,
**[04:39] ---**
    there won't be an ID tag
    transfer ceremony either.
**[04:43] ---**
    Besides, we won't be able
    to get any intel on Fuushin,
**[04:47] ---**
    who belonged to
    Oyashiro's former guard unit,
**[04:49] ---**
    who's making all
    these Exploding Humans.
**[04:52] ---**
    This has been
    a total waste of time.
**[05:00] ---**
    Lord Orochimaru.
**[05:06] ---**
    What did you say?
**[05:08] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[05:09] ---**
    Oyashiro is asking for you.
**[05:14] ---**
    Go on ahead.
**[05:15] ---**
    What about you?
**[05:16] ---**
    I'm going to get
    this wound looked at.
**[05:20] ---**
    I'll stick with Chino.
**[05:23] ---**
    All right.
**[05:40] ---**
    Oh, hello!
**[05:42] ---**
    I am En Oyashiro.
**[05:45] ---**
    Nice to meet you!
**[05:51] ---**
    Is he really En Oyashiro?
**[05:54] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[06:00] ---**
    It's been a long time,
    Mr. Orochimaru!
**[06:03] ---**
    When was the last time
    we were face to face like this?
**[06:09] ---**
    It's been so long,
    I don't remember.
**[06:12] ---**
    What's going on?
**[06:16] ---**
    I don't recall you
    being someone
**[06:17] ---**
    who'd reveal himself so casually
    before others like this.
**[06:23] ---**
    It's only because I witnessed
    something very interesting.
**[06:28] ---**
    Though it was quite a shock to
    see humans explode like that.
**[06:33] ---**
    They're just like
    the Exploding Humans
**[06:35] ---**
    that attacked
    the Hidden Leaf, right?
**[06:37] ---**
    You know about that?
**[06:39] ---**
    You can't be in
    my line of business
**[06:41] ---**
    if you're not on top of the news.
**[06:44] ---**
    They appeared because
    they were after you, right?
**[06:52] ---**
    Perhaps, this time.
**[06:55] ---**
    This time?
**[06:58] ---**
    Are you saying that they attacked
    the Hidden Leaf Village
**[07:00] ---**
    for a different purpose?
**[07:03] ---**
    I mean, doesn't it seem like it?
**[07:06] ---**
    *They attacked the Hidden Leaf Village*
    *with me as their target?*
**[07:16] ---**
    The man creating
    the Exploding Humans
**[07:19] ---**
    seems to be a former member
    of your guard unit.
**[07:21] ---**
    What? No way!
**[07:23] ---**
    His name is Fuushin.
**[07:24] ---**
    You know him, don't you?
**[07:26] ---**
    Hmm… That kid?
**[07:29] ---**
    He initially belonged to someone else.
**[07:32] ---**
    Someone else?
**[07:33] ---**
    I won him at the Coliseum and
    assigned him to my guard unit.
**[07:37] ---**
    I believe he was born on
    a small island in the Land of Water.
**[07:41] ---**
    When he was young,
**[07:44] ---**
    he was sold off by the islanders
    because they were scared of him.
**[07:47] ---**
    Sold off?
**[07:49] ---**
    Isn't that how it is with
    the Kekkei Genkai?
**[07:53] ---**
    Weak humans who
    consider themselves "normal"
**[07:58] ---**
    always fear unusual power.
**[08:00] ---**
    It's a disadvantage from
    the moment you manifest it.
**[08:06] ---**
    Though personally,
    I like Kekkei Genkai.
**[08:10] ---**
    I mean, they're powerful and rare!
**[08:15] ---**
    That's why I've collected
    all different kinds for my guard unit.
**[08:19] ---**
    I've even slaughtered the rest
**[08:22] ---**
    and left only one to
    increase the rarity…
**[08:27] ---**
    The only thing is,
**[08:29] ---**
    because of the difficult situations
    surrounding their upbringing,
**[08:31] ---**
    many of the kids were rebellious.
**[08:33] ---**
    If I didn't know Medical Ninjutsu,
**[08:35] ---**
    I probably couldn't
    have tamed them.
**[08:38] ---**
    Fuushin was a relatively good kid,
**[08:41] ---**
    but one day out of the blue,
    he took the other kids and ran away.
**[08:45] ---**
    I wonder why he ran away?
**[08:49] ---**
    I fed them every day and
    even gave them an allowance.
**[08:53] ---**
    I've heard enough!
**[08:55] ---**
    Did Fuushin have red eyes?
**[08:58] ---**
    Red eyes?
**[09:04] ---**
    Oh, now that you mention it…
**[09:07] ---**
    One of the kids who ran away with
    Fuushin had eyes like that.
**[09:11] ---**
    Ran away with Fuushin?
**[09:13] ---**
    *So Fuushin has a partner?*
**[09:16] ---**
    *Was that Genjutsu Trap*
    *his doing?*
**[09:20] ---**
    What was his name?
**[09:22] ---**
    I've forgotten.
**[09:23] ---**
    Then remember.
**[09:25] ---**
    You're so harsh!
**[09:29] ---**
    Oh, I know!
**[09:30] ---**
    That kid was from the Chinoike Clan.
**[09:33] ---**
    The Chinoike Clan?
**[09:35] ---**
    What is that?
**[09:37] ---**
    It's a tragic story.
**[09:39] ---**
    I don't care, tell me.
**[09:43] ---**
    It goes way back…
**[09:45] ---**
    Even before the time Hashirama Senju
    and Madara Uchiha competed for power.
**[09:53] ---**
    Bloodshot eyes…
**[09:55] ---**
    The Chinoike Clan with
    their Ketsuryugan.
**[09:59] ---**
    They lived in
    the Land of Lightning.
**[10:02] ---**
    They were especially proficient
    with genjutsu
**[10:04] ---**
    and once you were caught
    in their Visual Jutsu,
**[10:06] ---**
    it was said
    you could never escape.
**[10:10] ---**
    Anyway, one of the Chinoike Clan
    women was sent
**[10:12] ---**
    to become the concubine of
    the feudal lord of the Land of Lightning.
**[10:18] ---**
    She was personable and beautiful…
**[10:22] ---**
    and that made the lord's consort
    terribly jealous.
**[10:27] ---**
    Unfortunately, shortly after taking
    the girl as his concubine,
**[10:31] ---**
    the feudal lord became ill and died.
**[10:36] ---**
    "It's her fault he died!"
**[10:39] ---**
    The lord's consort put all
    the blame on the concubine.
**[10:44] ---**
    And those who knew about
    the Chinoike Clan's unusual genetics,
**[10:49] ---**
    supported the consort's claim.
**[10:55] ---**
    As a result, the girl and
    her entire clan
**[10:58] ---**
    was exiled to a place known
    as Hell Valley.
**[11:01] ---**
    And for that, the consort hired…
**[11:05] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[11:08] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan.
**[11:11] ---**
    What did you say?
**[11:16] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan with their Sharingan
    were the only ones
**[11:18] ---**
    who could go up against
    the Chinoike Clan
**[11:20] ---**
    and their unique Visual Jutsu.
**[11:24] ---**
    The Chinoike asked the Uchiha to set up
    a meeting place to negotiate,
**[11:28] ---**
    but were rejected.
**[11:31] ---**
    Seems the Uchiha Clan who suffered
    long through persecution
**[11:36] ---**
    were also complicit in
    the persecution of others.
**[11:41] ---**
    What about Itachi?
**[11:44] ---**
    Was Itachi aware of this?
**[11:47] ---**
    I wonder…
**[11:49] ---**
    However…
**[11:51] ---**
    you may learn something
    if you go to Hell Valley.
**[12:01] ---**
    Where is Hell Valley located?
**[12:03] ---**
    It's in the Land of Steam.
**[12:09] ---**
    Are you going?
**[12:11] ---**
    I don't know.
**[12:12] ---**
    I guess not.
**[12:13] ---**
    You don't know if Fuushin
    is actually there.
**[12:17] ---**
    But I'm rooting for you.
    Good luck!
**[12:21] ---**
    We need to get rid of nuisances like
    Exploding Humans as soon as possible.
**[12:26] ---**
    That's unusual.
**[12:27] ---**
    I didn't expect to hear that from
    a weapons trader like yourself.
**[12:32] ---**
    If a convenient explosive like
    that became commonplace,
**[12:34] ---**
    I'd be forced to shut down
    my business.
**[13:00] ---**
    Just as guilty…
**[13:02] ---**
    That's what you said.
**[13:03] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:05] ---**
    *To a victim, the assailant and*
    *a third party are no different.*
**[13:10] ---**
    *People are no better than the assailant*
    *if they didn't try to help.*
**[13:16] ---**
    *If you only pity the loser*
**[13:21] ---**
    *and do nothing to stop*
    *the decadence of the rich…*
**[13:25] ---**
    *you're just as guilty, Sasuke.*
**[13:29] ---**
    It's just as you said.
**[13:31] ---**
    But…
**[13:34] ---**
    "But"?
**[13:35] ---**
    No, never mind.
**[13:59] ---**
    Hey, you probably won't tell me…
**[14:03] ---**
    But I'll ask anyway.
**[14:05] ---**
    Where are you headed this time?
**[14:08] ---**
    Hell Valley.
**[14:09] ---**
    See? You didn't tell me…
**[14:13] ---**
    What? Hell Valley?!
**[14:15] ---**
    The one making Exploding Humans
    is there?
**[14:20] ---**
    Probably not.
**[14:22] ---**
    Then why are you going?
**[14:25] ---**
    I want to see this Hell Valley
    with my own eyes.
**[14:30] ---**
    As the last survivor
    of the Uchiha Clan.
**[14:51] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:52] ---**
    We came all the way here
    to the Land of Steam,
**[14:55] ---**
    and we're not gonna soak
    in the hot springs?
**[15:00] ---**
    You two can do
    whatever you want.
**[15:02] ---**
    This is where we go
    our separate ways.
**[15:04] ---**
    But why?
**[15:06] ---**
    The one making
    the Exploding Humans is after me.
**[15:12] ---**
    It's better if
    you're not around me.
**[15:15] ---**
    We came all the way here together.
**[15:17] ---**
    As if we'd desert you now,
    Sasuke dear.
**[15:21] ---**
    We're going with you
    to Hell Valley!
**[15:56] ---**
    Exploding Humans!
**[15:57] ---**
    Sasuke dear!
**[15:59] ---**
    Stay away!
**[16:02] ---**
    Nowaki, let go!
**[16:48] ---**
    *He's…*
**[16:50] ---**
    *not cloaked in chakra.*
**[17:08] ---**
    Hot! So hot...!
**[17:11] ---**
    Hot! So hot!
**[17:21] ---**
    You're not Fuushin, are you?
**[17:24] ---**
    W-What're you saying?
**[17:26] ---**
    I'm the Lightning Gang's…
**[17:28] ---**
    I possess the Sharingan.
**[17:31] ---**
    I can look into
    your memories with this.
**[17:35] ---**
    If you're lying, I can't guarantee
    that I'll spare you.
**[17:41] ---**
    Fine.
**[17:47] ---**
    Won't guarantee my life?
**[17:50] ---**
    Well, I'll say it right back at you!
**[17:54] ---**
    Whoa... I won't let you.
**[17:57] ---**
    Earth Style: Mud Wall!
**[18:01] ---**
    Lava Style: Rubber Wall!
**[18:10] ---**
    Rubber is strong against
    the Lightning Style!
**[18:16] ---**
    Lava Style: Rubber Sphere!
**[18:24] ---**
    All right…
**[18:26] ---**
    Let's do this!
**[18:29] ---**
    It starts now!
**[18:36] ---**
    What?!
**[18:38] ---**
    Then I'll just increase the amount!
**[18:41] ---**
    Amaterasu.
**[18:45] ---**
    W-What the hell this?!
**[18:50] ---**
    I-It won't go out!
**[18:51] ---**
    Hot! Hot!
**[18:53] ---**
    I-I'll tell you anything you want!
**[18:55] ---**
    I'll talk! Please let me talk!
**[18:58] ---**
    So please put out
    the flames!
**[19:01] ---**
    Hot! Hot!
**[19:02] ---**
    Kagutsuchi…
**[19:10] ---**
    You don't have to talk.
**[19:23] ---**
    *"I need your help…Fuushin."*
**[19:27] ---**
    *Just hold on, Boss!*
**[19:32] ---**
    *So you want me to make*
    *this Sasuke guy think*
**[19:35] ---**
    *that I'm after him?*
**[19:54] ---**
    I figured as much.
**[19:57] ---**
    That's right.
**[20:00] ---**
    That chakra sword was
**[20:02] ---**
    the same as the chakra sword
    you threw at me at Bamboo Village.
**[20:09] ---**
    Show me what you really look like…
**[20:12] ---**
    "Really look like"?
**[20:13] ---**
    That's not your real appearance.
**[20:17] ---**
    Otherwise,
**[20:18] ---**
    you wouldn't have shown yourself
    before Old Man Iou in the Bamboo Village.
**[20:23] ---**
    Still, were you that scared
    to see En Oyashiro?
**[20:56] ---**
    Indeed… This is how I really look.
**[21:02] ---**
    Fuushin!
**[22:40] ---**
    I certainly didn't expect it to be you.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    People who have Kekkei Genkai
    are all special, right?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Because this power leads to fear,
    the rift between people widens
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    and they deem you
    unpleasant and evil.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    I'll make you tell me
    the entire story.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Before that,
    let me blow you up…

**[01:33] ---**
    *The Ketsuryugan*
    
**[01:51] ---**
    You're going to tell me
    everything I want to know.
**[01:54] ---**
    I wonder if you can make me?
**[01:57] ---**
    Severe Wind Destruction!
**[02:31] ---**
    Severe Wind Destruction!
**[03:08] ---**
    This isn't over yet!
**[03:37] ---**
    There's no wind.
**[03:39] ---**
    So this is the eye of the storm!
**[04:02] ---**
    Now, tell me everything.
**[04:06] ---**
    No way.
**[04:09] ---**
    Damn it!
**[04:27] ---**
    What's that?
**[04:36] ---**
    *Don't think I'll fall for*
    *the same trick twice!*
**[05:54] ---**
    So this is Hell Valley…
**[06:06] ---**
    The Chinoike Clan really lived here?
**[06:11] ---**
    Yes, we did.
**[06:15] ---**
    Take a good, long look.
**[06:21] ---**
    That's proof people lived here.
**[06:25] ---**
    False suspicion was cast
    on them
**[06:27] ---**
    and the Uchiha Clan forced them
    all the way here.
**[06:31] ---**
    The clan had no choice
    but to settle here.
**[06:34] ---**
    They drank this scalding water,
**[06:37] ---**
    hunted down whatever birds
    they could that flew past…
**[06:39] ---**
    ate the meager grass that grew
    in the soil in order to survive.
**[06:43] ---**
    Weary of fighting,
**[06:44] ---**
    the clan never ventured out
    into the outside world,
**[06:47] ---**
    and scraped out a living,
    so I've heard.
**[06:50] ---**
    "So I've heard"?
**[06:52] ---**
    By the time I was old enough
    to understand,
**[06:55] ---**
    I was already living
    in Oyashiro's mansion.
**[06:59] ---**
    I was told Oyashiro kidnapped me
    from Hell Valley…just me.
**[07:03] ---**
    You were all alone?
**[07:13] ---**
    You were all by yourself?
**[07:15] ---**
    What? You're actually interested?
**[07:18] ---**
    How unlike you.
**[07:21] ---**
    Then let me show you.
**[07:34] ---**
    *I was the only one from*
    *the Chinoike Clan.*
**[07:38] ---**
    *But there were lots of kids like me*
    *at Oyashiro's mansion*
**[07:43] ---**
    *and we were all forced to train*
    *to become shinobi.*
**[07:54] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[07:55] ---**
    If you don't win, you'll go hungry.
**[08:44] ---**
    You did well, Chino.
**[08:59] ---**
    *And on that day,*
    *Oyashiro brought me to…*
**[09:05] ---**
    *the Coliseum.*
**[09:08] ---**
    Representing President Kusabi
    of Kusabi Real Estate Company
**[09:11] ---**
    and currently on
    a record-setting run of no losses!
**[09:14] ---**
    The Hurricane Kid
    who has no mercy…
**[09:16] ---**
    Fuushin!
**[09:19] ---**
    And going up against him…
**[09:21] ---**
    representing Mr. En Oyashiro,
    who returns after a long absence…
**[09:23] ---**
    The Beauty of the Ketsuryugan…
**[09:25] ---**
    Chino!
**[09:27] ---**
    I've never heard of
    the Ketsuryugan.
**[09:30] ---**
    Just what kind of power is it?!
**[09:33] ---**
    It seems like our audience
    is very curious too!
**[09:39] ---**
    And now, let's begin!
**[09:42] ---**
    Ready…
**[09:44] ---**
    Fight!
**[09:51] ---**
    If you're so eager,
    I'll show you my Ketsuryugan.
**[09:55] ---**
    I'll blow you away before
    you have the chance.
**[10:01] ---**
    Typhoon Style:
    High Wind Destruction!
**[10:23] ---**
    Whoa… What's this?!
**[10:26] ---**
    Fuushin's just been standing there!
**[10:31] ---**
    What's wrong, Fuushin?!
**[10:39] ---**
    Did I…just lose?
**[10:42] ---**
    Yeah, you lost.
**[10:50] ---**
    Can you believe this?!
**[10:52] ---**
    The one and only Fuushin has lost to
    a young girl in her debut match!
**[11:24] ---**
    There we go.
**[11:27] ---**
    You're really strong!
**[11:29] ---**
    Are you being sarcastic?
**[11:30] ---**
    N-No way!
**[11:34] ---**
    My eyes are…
**[11:36] ---**
    S-See…They're special, so…
**[11:40] ---**
    Special, huh?
**[11:43] ---**
    Anyone who possesses
    a Kekkei Genkai is special.
**[11:50] ---**
    Because of this power,
**[11:52] ---**
    people feared me
    and kept their distance.
**[11:55] ---**
    At times, I was shunned
    and treated cruelly.
**[12:00] ---**
    Even having a past like that
    was better than what I had.
**[12:05] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[12:07] ---**
    For as long as I can remember,
    I've been here.
**[12:11] ---**
    I have no memory about
    anything before I came here.
**[12:17] ---**
    I see.
**[12:20] ---**
    You're fortunate.
**[12:23] ---**
    Me? Fortunate?!
**[12:27] ---**
    Having memories you don't want
    to remember is pointless.
**[12:34] ---**
    I was born in the Land of Water.
**[12:37] ---**
    But it wasn't on the mainland
    where the Hidden Mist Village is.
**[12:41] ---**
    I was born on
    a poverty-stricken island nearby.
**[12:46] ---**
    And…
**[12:48] ---**
    Because of this power,
**[12:50] ---**
    I was blamed for a typhoon
    that struck the island.
**[12:52] ---**
    They wanted to get rid of me,
**[12:54] ---**
    so I was sold off to a rich man
    named Kusabi.
**[13:00] ---**
    All I remember about Kusabi's place…
**[13:02] ---**
    was the constant torture
    even when I was obedient.
**[13:07] ---**
    But I wasn't averse to fighting
    in the Coliseum.
**[13:11] ---**
    Because I was able to
    demonstrate my strength there.
**[13:15] ---**
    And still, I lost to a brat like you.
**[13:20] ---**
    I'm sorry I won.
**[13:23] ---**
    You better be!
**[13:28] ---**
    Still, I envy you.
**[13:32] ---**
    I don't know what
    my mom or dad look like.
**[13:35] ---**
    I don't why I was born…
**[13:37] ---**
    or even why I'm alive.
**[13:41] ---**
    I don't have anything!
**[13:43] ---**
    I don't care how terrible
    any past might be.
**[13:46] ---**
    It's better than being
    empty like me!
**[13:52] ---**
    I…
**[13:54] ---**
    I just said some terrible things.
**[13:57] ---**
    But that's how I feel.
**[14:00] ---**
    Sorry.
**[14:04] ---**
    I don't know why, but…
**[14:07] ---**
    This is first time I've spoken
    about myself to anyone else…
**[14:12] ---**
    and the first time someone's tears
    has actually moved me.
**[14:18] ---**
    *In the end, we were both assigned*
    *to Oyashiro's guard unit…*
**[14:22] ---**
    *and we started working.*
**[14:27] ---**
    *And one day, we found it*
    *at the Oyashiro mansion.*
**[14:33] ---**
    Look, Chino!
**[14:35] ---**
    And old historical document
    about the Chinoike Clan.
**[14:45] ---**
    Let's go, Chino.
**[14:47] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:48] ---**
    If we go to Hell Valley,
**[14:49] ---**
    we may find some of your kin
    from the Chinoike Clan.
**[14:52] ---**
    And we might find something
    regarding your past!
**[14:54] ---**
    If you go to Hell Valley,
    you won't feel so empty anymore.
**[14:58] ---**
    But there's no way
    Oyashiro will allow it.
**[15:02] ---**
    We don't need his permission!
**[15:10] ---**
    *Fuushin and I gathered others*
**[15:12] ---**
    *who wanted to get out of*
    *Oyashiro's mansion and escaped.*
**[15:20] ---**
    We're all free now!
**[15:22] ---**
    *And we ran towards Hell Valley.*
**[15:26] ---**
    *But…*
**[15:30] ---**
    Hey…
**[15:32] ---**
    You get to live by selling
    these crude bamboo knick-knacks.
**[15:36] ---**
    Who do you owe that all to?
**[15:38] ---**
    Why, we owe it all to you, my lord.
**[15:41] ---**
    – Silence!
    – Father!
**[15:44] ---**
    This is hardly enough!
**[15:47] ---**
    – So…I'll take your daughter in exchange.
    – Are you okay, Father?!
**[15:51] ---**
    Amino!
**[15:55] ---**
    Wh-Who are you?!
**[16:00] ---**
    If you don't want to get hurt,
    get lost.
**[16:02] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[16:05] ---**
    Hurry, grab him!
**[16:07] ---**
    S-Sir…
**[16:10] ---**
    Th-Thank you for saving me.
**[16:12] ---**
    Think nothing of it.
**[16:14] ---**
    We just happened to see
    what was going on.
**[16:15] ---**
    Where are you
    chivalrous thieves from?
**[16:17] ---**
    Chivalrous thieves?
**[16:19] ---**
    P-Please! Please continue
    to protect us!
**[16:25] ---**
    *We were hailed*
    *as chivalrous thieves.*
**[16:28] ---**
    *So we adopted the name,*
    *the Lightning Gang*
**[16:30] ---**
    *and worked for*
    *the sake of nearby villages.*
**[16:33] ---**
    *We were treated like heroes.*
**[16:35] ---**
    *Every time we appeared,*
    *the villagers welcomed us.*
**[16:40] ---**
    *They gave us food and shelter.*
**[16:43] ---**
    *Everyone was kind.*
**[16:45] ---**
    Sorry that we haven't been
    able to go to Hell Valley.
**[16:50] ---**
    That's okay.
**[16:51] ---**
    I can go to Hell Valley anytime.
**[16:54] ---**
    For now, let's work hard
    for these people.
**[16:59] ---**
    *We owed allegiance to no one,*
    *others were at our mercy.*
**[17:02] ---**
    *Seeing this, some shinobi villages*
    *tried to use us.*
**[17:07] ---**
    *During the reign of*
    *the previous Mizukage,*
**[17:10] ---**
    *the Hidden Mist were*
    *our valued clients.*
**[17:16] ---**
    *That same thing happened then.*
**[17:18] ---**
    *We went after a Feudal Lord*
**[17:20] ---**
    *who was taking money*
    *from the unfortunate.*
**[17:23] ---**
    Oh come on. What's the matter?
**[17:25] ---**
    You mustn't, my lord.
**[17:29] ---**
    A-Are you the infamous—?!
**[17:31] ---**
    Yeah, we're the Lightning Gang.
**[17:33] ---**
    Get him.
**[17:35] ---**
    W-Wait…please.
**[17:37] ---**
    As long as you pay up,
    we won't hurt you.
**[17:40] ---**
    That's as far as you'll go.
**[17:44] ---**
    Shinobi…?!
**[17:47] ---**
    The Hidden Mist?!
**[17:48] ---**
    I see… You want to get rid of us.
    And not only that,
**[17:52] ---**
    you intend to create a direct relationship
    with the Feudal Lord.
**[17:54] ---**
    Th-Thank you for saving me.
**[17:56] ---**
    You're correct.
**[18:06] ---**
    *It's horrible, isn't it?*
**[18:08] ---**
    *But, what's worse was…*
**[18:20] ---**
    Just for a while…
    Let us rest here.
**[18:24] ---**
    Please go somewhere else.
**[18:25] ---**
    What?
**[18:26] ---**
    If we harbor you,
    we'll end up paying dearly for it!
**[18:31] ---**
    We have no intentions
    of troubling the village!
**[18:35] ---**
    We'll leave right away!
**[18:36] ---**
    Just because you take money
    from others and give it away,
**[18:39] ---**
    don't think you can do
    whatever you want!
**[18:44] ---**
    *Every village was the same.*
**[18:46] ---**
    *They wouldn't even give us water.*
**[18:50] ---**
    *One by one,*
    *our wounded comrades died.*
**[18:55] ---**
    *Eventually, it was just*
    *Fuushin and me.*
**[19:03] ---**
    There's nowhere else we can go.
**[19:07] ---**
    Yes, there is.
**[19:08] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:10] ---**
    *So we…finally made it*
    *to Hell Valley.*
**[19:29] ---**
    I'm empty, after all.
**[19:31] ---**
    Chino?!
**[19:32] ---**
    I can't remember anything!
**[19:34] ---**
    My father, my mother…
**[19:37] ---**
    I can't remember anyone's faces!
**[19:39] ---**
    Coming here didn't solve anything,
    after all.
**[19:43] ---**
    I still don't know why
    I was born or why I'm alive!
**[19:50] ---**
    Pursuers from the Hidden Mist!
**[19:57] ---**
    Chino!
**[20:01] ---**
    Chino!
**[20:06] ---**
    Let go, you damn—!
**[20:08] ---**
    Owww!
**[20:10] ---**
    Chino…!
**[20:17] ---**
    W-What the hell is this?!
**[20:20] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[20:23] ---**
    Chino!
**[20:33] ---**
    Chino!
**[20:35] ---**
    Chino, are you all right?
**[20:38] ---**
    I…didn't know I could do this.
**[20:43] ---**
    So…that was the true power
    of the Chinoike Clan?
**[20:50] ---**
    I'll get my revenge!
**[22:40] ---**
    The Uchiha Clan was used up
    and absorbed by the Leaf.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    So why do you go
    so far for them?
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    I have a friend now who
    shares in my pain.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    He also hopes the whole world
    will become like that too.
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    A world like that…
    is impossible!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    “Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 5:
    The Last One”
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    A heart that hopes for that,
    connects me to the Leaf!
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:34] ---**
    *Sasuke's Story: The Last One*
**[01:42] ---**
    You were gonna use that to
    get revenge against the Uchiha
**[01:46] ---**
    who forced the Chinoike Clan
    to Hell Valley?
**[01:51] ---**
    So I was your target
    from the very start.
**[01:54] ---**
    If I sent Exploding Humans
    to Hidden Leaf Village,
**[01:57] ---**
    you were sure to return.
**[01:59] ---**
    I planned to kill you and
    the entire Leaf Village, but…
**[02:04] ---**
    You happened to meet me
    at Bamboo Village, is that it?
**[02:08] ---**
    Coincidence is a scary thing,
    don't you think?
**[02:11] ---**
    We attacked that village just to
    get back at them for the last time…
**[02:17] ---**
    Meeting you there was
    the last thing we expected.
**[02:23] ---**
    But thanks to
**[02:24] ---**
    the head of the Bamboo Village's
    interesting parting words,
**[02:28] ---**
    we changed our plans.
**[02:32] ---**
    *I'll never forgive you…*
    *Fuushin!*
**[02:38] ---**
    I happened to be looking for Fuushin,
    so you joined up with me and
**[02:41] ---**
    used your Exploding Humans whenever
    something happened as a diversion.
**[02:44] ---**
    And Nowaki, rather Fuushin, would come
    after me with his chakra sword.
**[02:50] ---**
    And just in case
    you couldn't kill me,
**[02:52] ---**
    you went so far as
    to ask an old partner
**[02:54] ---**
    to stand by and
    pretend to be Fuushin.
**[02:58] ---**
    So what now?
    Are you gonna kill me?
**[03:01] ---**
    You and me… We're the last ones from
    the Chinoike and Uchiha Clans.
**[03:06] ---**
    Let's put it all on the line
**[03:10] ---**
    and fight to the death!
**[03:12] ---**
    Unfortunately,
    I'm not interested in that.
**[03:17] ---**
    You're the same as usual…
**[03:19] ---**
    But don't think
    you can go around
**[03:22] ---**
    with that aloof expression
    on your face forever.
**[03:26] ---**
    The Chinoike Clan uses blood
    to handle all kinds of jutsu.
**[03:32] ---**
    And here in this location…
**[03:36] ---**
    this red lake with
    its high iron content…
**[03:39] ---**
    will make the power of
    the Chinoike even stronger!
**[03:56] ---**
    What?!
**[04:00] ---**
    Take this!
**[04:14] ---**
    Go!
**[04:55] ---**
    Do you still want to continue?
**[05:09] ---**
    Chakra is entering
    from my wound?!
**[05:15] ---**
    What?!
**[05:16] ---**
    My chakra seals the wound
    and waits.
**[05:20] ---**
    Waits for what?
**[05:22] ---**
    Isn't it obvious?
**[05:56] ---**
    Good bye, Sasuke Uchiha.
**[06:08] ---**
    So that's how you made
    the Exploding Humans?
**[06:15] ---**
    The Sharingan?!
**[06:28] ---**
    I envied you, Sasuke.
**[06:33] ---**
    You were born in
    the Hidden Leaf Village
**[06:36] ---**
    and bore the Uchiha name…
**[06:38] ---**
    and you had a family
    that loved you.
**[06:42] ---**
    When you deserted your village,
    you and your reputation were notorious.
**[06:46] ---**
    But even now,
    you're allowed to travel freely.
**[06:50] ---**
    That's because you have people
    who love and protect you.
**[07:00] ---**
    I know…
**[07:03] ---**
    You've always, always had someone
    who kept loving you, no matter what.
**[07:11] ---**
    You're not like me…
    I've been alone from the beginning!
**[07:15] ---**
    *You've been alone*
    *from the beginning!*
**[07:18] ---**
    *How the hell do you think*
    *you understand?*
**[07:23] ---**
    *It's because I have these ties,*
    *that I feel this agony.*
**[07:26] ---**
    *How could you*
    *possibly understand*
**[07:29] ---**
    *what it feels like to lose all that?!*
**[07:32] ---**
    So…
**[07:35] ---**
    So why do you fight for
    the Hidden Leaf?!
**[07:39] ---**
    The leaves of the Hidden Leaf
    are brilliant,
**[07:42] ---**
    but its roots are black!
**[07:43] ---**
    There is light and darkness
    in the Hidden Leaf!
**[07:46] ---**
    Your clan was used up and
**[07:48] ---**
    absorbed by the Leaf's roots
    as nourishment!
**[07:51] ---**
    So why do you go so far for them?!
**[07:54] ---**
    Because I'm alive.
**[07:57] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[07:59] ---**
    I have a friend who saved me.
**[08:03] ---**
    A friend with whom I can share
    my pain, and him, with me.
**[08:08] ---**
    His wish is that one day
    the world will be like us.
**[08:14] ---**
    A world like that is impossible.
**[08:20] ---**
    That's just wishful thinking!
**[08:26] ---**
    That's why he wants to
    make it real!
**[08:31] ---**
    And it's that hopeful heart that
    connects me to the Hidden Leaf!
**[08:36] ---**
    To be like my older brother…
**[08:38] ---**
    and support this world from
    the shadows, and…
**[08:43] ---**
    And?
**[08:46] ---**
    And look beyond this world…
    to the light!
**[08:51] ---**
    I don't want to see such a world!
**[08:54] ---**
    Enough already! Kill me!
**[08:56] ---**
    Hurry and kill me!
**[08:58] ---**
    Chino!
**[09:03] ---**
    Fuushin!
**[09:10] ---**
    Fuushin!
**[09:16] ---**
    Fuushin?!
**[09:17] ---**
    What are you doing here?
**[09:23] ---**
    Fuushin?
**[09:30] ---**
    Now, you should be able to understand
    the meaning of my words.
**[09:36] ---**
    *I have a friend who saved me.*
**[09:39] ---**
    *A friend with whom I can share*
    *my pain, and him, with me.*
**[09:50] ---**
    If you're going to kill someone,
    kill me.
**[10:04] ---**
    Fuushin, it's okay.
**[10:09] ---**
    It's okay.
**[10:16] ---**
    I'd be in pain…if you died.
**[10:23] ---**
    Chino…
**[10:29] ---**
    Sasuke dear, I wish I didn't meet you
    at Bamboo Village.
**[10:35] ---**
    Then I could have kept
    on hating you.
**[10:43] ---**
    Also, I want to see
    this world that you speak of…
**[10:58] ---**
    This is the last one…
**[11:02] ---**
    It's penetrated the brachial artery.
**[11:12] ---**
    We're good now.
**[11:13] ---**
    There's no more unusual chakra
    flowing inside of him now.
**[11:20] ---**
    Thank you.
**[11:22] ---**
    What would I have done
    without you?
**[11:28] ---**
    I think it's all because of
    your exceptional skill, Sakura!
**[11:33] ---**
    The ringleader was turned over to
    the authorities last night, right?
**[11:36] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:38] ---**
    Was Sasuke there?
**[11:40] ---**
    I thought he would be.
**[11:43] ---**
    But they asked the Leaf shinobi go over
    to the Land of Steam to take custody.
**[11:47] ---**
    The one who captured
    the ringleader didn't return…
**[12:02] ---**
    Hello.
**[12:07] ---**
    I'm the perpetrator.
**[12:10] ---**
    I take all responsibility.
**[12:12] ---**
    So please go easy on the other two.
**[12:16] ---**
    Chino, that's not what we want.
**[12:19] ---**
    That's right, Miss Chino!
**[12:21] ---**
    I–!
**[12:22] ---**
    Now calm down…
**[12:24] ---**
    Actually, the Mizukage of
    the Land of Mist
**[12:27] ---**
    wants to take custody of you.
**[12:30] ---**
    W-Why?
**[12:33] ---**
    Now's the only time to stop
    the chain of negativity.
**[12:37] ---**
    Please come in.
**[12:43] ---**
    Let's skip the greetings.
**[12:45] ---**
    I'd once heard about your past connection
    to the Hidden Mist.
**[12:49] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:50] ---**
    If it's okay with you…
**[12:54] ---**
    I'd like you to help
    the Hidden Mist.
**[12:58] ---**
    W-Why?
**[13:01] ---**
    You must atone for what you did
    for the rest of your lives.
**[13:06] ---**
    But every shinobi, great and small,
    must bear the same burden.
**[13:13] ---**
    I'm no different.
**[13:17] ---**
    Would you like to fight again…
    with your own life?
**[13:24] ---**
    And, there's another thing
    I need to let you know.
**[13:30] ---**
    Around now, he's…
**[13:38] ---**
    W-What is this…!
**[13:40] ---**
    The last Uchiha...
**[13:42] ---**
    a.k.a. Sasuke Uchiha has
    returned to the Coliseum!
**[13:49] ---**
    *To a victim,*
**[13:51] ---**
    *the assailant and a third party*
    *are no different.*
**[13:55] ---**
    *People are no better than*
    *the assailant
**[13:58] ---**
    *if they didn't try to help.*
**[13:59] ---**
    *If you only pity the loser*
    *and do nothing*
**[14:02] ---**
    *to stop the decadence of the rich…*
**[14:04] ---**
    *you're just as guilty, Sasuke.*
**[14:08] ---**
    I will welcome all challenges!
**[14:10] ---**
    And I will free all shinobi!
**[14:14] ---**
    If you desire the Uchiha's eye,
    come and get it!
**[14:18] ---**
    Sasuke is—?!
**[14:20] ---**
    But there are many shinobi
    with Kekkei Genkai there!
**[14:24] ---**
    Even someone like Sasuke…
**[14:26] ---**
    Don't underestimate Sasuke,
    ya know!
**[14:31] ---**
    Sasuke's probably doing this
    for your sake.
**[14:35] ---**
    So he will never, ever lose!
**[14:39] ---**
    So you're Sasuke's?
**[14:42] ---**
    Yeah, I'm his friend.
**[14:45] ---**
    I'm Naruto Uzumaki.
**[14:48] ---**
    Your friend saved me.
**[14:53] ---**
    I'm very grateful.
**[14:57] ---**
    I see!
**[15:09] ---**
    *Th-This is something*
    *no one's ever imagined!*
**[15:13] ---**
    *Sasuke Uchiha has beaten*
    *each and every shinobi!*
**[15:16] ---**
    *Which means, he has acquired*
    *every, single shinobi!*
**[15:25] ---**
    What's gonna happen to us?
**[15:29] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud will take you in.
**[15:31] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud?
**[15:32] ---**
    Indeed!
**[15:35] ---**
    We, the Hidden Cloud, will
    safeguard all shinobi!
**[15:40] ---**
    At the same time, everyone who took part
    in the illegal gambling here
**[15:45] ---**
    will be taken into custody.
**[15:54] ---**
    This is so dull.
**[15:56] ---**
    This isn't looking good.
**[16:00] ---**
    I'm here, kid.
**[16:11] ---**
    I'm grateful.
**[16:12] ---**
    Be grateful to your Lord Sixth.
**[16:15] ---**
    – He came and insisted...
    – Hurry and come here!
**[16:18] ---**
    that this island
    was close to my village,
**[16:20] ---**
    and that it was the Cloud's business
    to deal with it.
**[16:23] ---**
    That's why we're here…
**[16:25] ---**
    So dull…
**[16:27] ---**
    Long ago,
**[16:29] ---**
    Naruto put his hands together
    and passionately argued for you.
**[16:35] ---**
    OFFICIAL MISSIVE TO
    THE LORD HOKAGE
    FROM THE RAIKAGE
    
    
    
    
    
    
    It was the time you kidnapped
    my kid brother, Bee,
**[16:37] ---**
    and Danzo agreed to our request
**[16:40] ---**
    to mark you a Rogue Ninja
    and assassinate you.
**[16:44] ---**
    *I want you to cancel*
    *the disposal of Sasuke Uchiha!*
**[16:50] ---**
    *I'm begging you!*
**[16:51] ---**
    *I don't want us killing each other*
    *for revenge anymore!*
**[17:02] ---**
    I'm glad we didn't kill you
    back then.
**[17:07] ---**
    Know yourself and know others,
    and never alter your path again.
**[17:12] ---**
    Feel the significance of why
    you can walk this world freely.
**[17:18] ---**
    And create a reason to
    convince others around you.
**[17:25] ---**
    Perhaps with this incident,
    you just created one.
**[17:29] ---**
    But just one won't be enough.
**[17:38] ---**
    You weren't caught?
**[17:41] ---**
    I'm here, aren't I?
**[17:43] ---**
    Did things work out as planned?
**[17:46] ---**
    Thanks to you, it did.
**[17:50] ---**
    Conflict breaks out easily
    in small communities.
**[17:55] ---**
    Even though they've lived shoulder
    to shoulder for many years,
**[17:58] ---**
    even the smallest incident
    festers hatred
**[18:01] ---**
    and in the end, they end up
    killing each other off.
**[18:06] ---**
    That sounds like the Uchiha Clan.
**[18:09] ---**
    They were definitely like that, however…
**[18:14] ---**
    This is the truth of
    the Chinoike Clan.
**[18:18] ---**
    When my wife got wrapped up
    in everything and died…
**[18:20] ---**
    lots of things didn't matter anymore.
**[18:24] ---**
    That's why you killed
    your entire clan?
**[18:28] ---**
    Even still, my daughter
    is quite endearing.
**[18:32] ---**
    And you saw with your own eyes
    the foolish thing
**[18:35] ---**
    that your dear daughter of yours
    was doing in the Coliseum.
**[18:38] ---**
    I wonder if that's why
    you gave up on acquiring Sasuke,
**[18:41] ---**
    and used him instead
    to stop your daughter?
**[18:46] ---**
    You're such a doting parent…
**[18:48] ---**
    I consider myself more
    of a foolish parent…
**[18:52] ---**
    Still it feels strange.
**[18:56] ---**
    Sasuke's not back in the village,
    yet he's protecting it.
**[19:02] ---**
    You're right.
**[19:03] ---**
    There are so many things
    we can't do
**[19:06] ---**
    without a skilled shinobi like Sasuke.
**[19:08] ---**
    There are guys who do
    terrible things like this time,
**[19:13] ---**
    but I guess everything works out
**[19:16] ---**
    as long as there are guys
    like Sasuke to counter it.
**[19:20] ---**
    You seem kinda happy, Sakura.
**[19:23] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:27] ---**
    Sasuke said to me before
    he left on his journey…
**[19:31] ---**
    *This is a trip to atone for my sins.*
**[19:34] ---**
    With this recent incident,
**[19:36] ---**
    I know that Sasuke is
    definitely making inroads.
**[19:42] ---**
    Just…
**[19:44] ---**
    I just wish I was there next to him…
**[19:50] ---**
    F-Forget what I just said!
**[19:52] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:13] ---**
    It's probably from Kakashi.
**[20:26] ---**
    So messy. It's Naruto's writing…
**[20:30] ---**
    *Sasuke…*
**[20:31] ---**
    *You're not back in the village,*
    *but you're still protecting it.*
**[20:36] ---**
    *You're just like the Leaf Police Force!*
**[20:40] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
    
    *Are you going to join too?*
**[20:43] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
    
    *Well… I wonder about that...*
**[20:45] ---**
    *Why not?*
**[20:47] ---**
    *When I grow up, I'm going to join*
    *the Leaf Police Force too!*
**[20:57] ---**
    It's been a while…
    Maybe I'll go home.
**[22:40] ---**
    Regarding the issue with
    the Land of Silence,
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    it's going to become violent, eventually…
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    If they find out we've independently
    started investigating,
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    it's going to get troublesome.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    That being said, it would be bad if
    we call on the alliance
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    and take aggressive action
    on Land of Silence, right?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Well, we just achieved peace…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    "Shikamaru's Story:
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 1:
    The State of Affairs"
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    We can't just stand by without
    taking action any further.
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[01:34] ---**
    *The State of Affairs*
    
    
    
**[01:43] ---**
    FIRE
    
    
**[01:45] ---**
    So, I told my classmates…
**[01:50] ---**
    that they were lucky to have
    so much free time.
**[01:53] ---**
    It's been a month since I got here.
**[01:56] ---**
    Isn't it about time I get to supervise
    a big assignment on my own?
**[02:04] ---**
    Oh, Lord Hokage!
**[02:06] ---**
    Where was yesterday's report again?
**[02:09] ---**
    Third pile to the right,
    the second one.
**[02:14] ---**
    Oh, here it is.
**[02:15] ---**
    Didn't this come with
    some attachments?
**[02:17] ---**
    Second pile, the third one.
**[02:20] ---**
    I don't know what
    I'd do without you.
**[02:23] ---**
    Oh right, Lord Hokage.
**[02:25] ---**
    About next week's inspection…
**[02:27] ---**
    I keep telling you to
    just call me Kakashi.
**[02:30] ---**
    You're way too stiff
    and formal, senpai!
**[02:35] ---**
    And don't forget to take a break.
**[02:37] ---**
    Efficiency gets compromised
    if you don't.
**[02:39] ---**
    Roger!
**[02:46] ---**
    Anyway…
**[02:48] ---**
    I didn't become a shinobi
    to be chained to a desk.
**[02:53] ---**
    How do you not get bored
    doing this sort of work, senpai?
**[02:58] ---**
    Uh, senpai?
**[02:59] ---**
    I haven't looked up at the clouds
    in a long time.
**[03:03] ---**
    You know, senpai,
    sometimes you talk like an old man.
**[03:12] ---**
    Is something bothering you?
**[03:16] ---**
    Huh?
**[03:17] ---**
    No.
**[03:24] ---**
    And, I'm done for the day!
**[03:26] ---**
    Man!
**[03:27] ---**
    We cruised through today!
**[03:30] ---**
    Thanks, and see ya tomorrow!
**[03:34] ---**
    Oh, Lord Hokage!
**[03:35] ---**
    Thanks, and see ya tomorrow!
**[03:37] ---**
    See ya…
**[03:41] ---**
    Thanks for today.
**[03:42] ---**
    Why'd you pick a guy like that?
**[03:45] ---**
    The adult world is complicated.
**[03:48] ---**
    I don't like that kind of stuff.
**[03:51] ---**
    Oh?
**[03:52] ---**
    I thought you became
    one of us a while back.
**[03:56] ---**
    Give me a break!
**[03:58] ---**
    Having more shinobi like him
    just goes to show we're at peace.
**[04:05] ---**
    It's been two years since then.
**[04:07] ---**
    I'm starting to get a belly…
**[04:11] ---**
    I don't want to hear it.
**[04:13] ---**
    Do you keep up with training?
**[04:15] ---**
    Here and there.
**[04:18] ---**
    You say it like that,
**[04:19] ---**
    but I bet you're as
    disciplined as ever.
**[04:21] ---**
    Why can't you just
    humor me a bit?
**[04:23] ---**
    I told him to double-check it!
**[04:28] ---**
    By the way, how is it going?
**[04:30] ---**
    Regarding that issue.
**[04:33] ---**
    It's on the back-burner.
**[04:35] ---**
    No contact then?
**[04:38] ---**
    I feel bad burdening you
    with it.
**[04:42] ---**
    I was never really
    cut out to be a shinobi.
**[04:45] ---**
    The fact that
    I continue to be one…
**[04:47] ---**
    Is to make Naruto
    the Hokage one day, right?
**[04:51] ---**
    To make sure that happens,
    I can't be a child forever.
**[04:55] ---**
    Naruto's still a child, even now.
**[04:58] ---**
    He is who he is.
**[04:59] ---**
    Oh…
**[05:01] ---**
    How about we go grab
    a bite after you're done?
**[05:04] ---**
    After this, Lord Tsuchikage
    and I have a game.
**[05:09] ---**
    Oh right, I saw him
    at the conference yesterday.
**[05:11] ---**
    All he talked about was how
    he would beat you this time.
**[05:15] ---**
    Anyway, please go easy on him.
**[05:17] ---**
    Well, half of it is work for me.
**[05:22] ---**
    Hey, Shikamaru…
**[05:24] ---**
    I wonder what it means
    to become an adult?
**[05:35] ---**
    No, wait… This one?
**[05:40] ---**
    How's that, young 'un?
    You're speechless now, eh?
**[05:47] ---**
    Please excuse me…
**[05:48] ---**
    Hey, don't think
    I'll let you win and run!
**[06:00] ---**
    Tsk…
**[06:01] ---**
    I have to work twice
    as hard tomorrow.
**[06:06] ---**
    HIDDEN LEAF LIBRARY
    
**[06:18] ---**
    BARBE-Q
    
    
**[06:19] ---**
    BARBE-Q
    
    Welcome!
**[06:21] ---**
    Oh, there he is!
**[06:23] ---**
    Over here!
**[06:25] ---**
    Sorry I'm late.
**[06:27] ---**
    That's the meat I was grilling!
**[06:30] ---**
    Here you go.
**[06:31] ---**
    This one's done too.
**[06:33] ---**
    Another order of kalbi please!
**[06:35] ---**
    Anyway, I keep teaching this newbie
    and she just doesn't get it.
**[06:40] ---**
    There's one on my team too.
**[06:42] ---**
    He reminds me of myself
    and I just can't ignore him.
**[06:46] ---**
    I wonder if
    Asuma felt this way.
**[06:49] ---**
    You two have totally embraced
    your roles as instructors.
**[06:53] ---**
    Well, you're Lord Hokage's
    right-hand man, aren't you?
**[06:56] ---**
    But I don't have anyone
    under me to mentor.
**[07:02] ---**
    You're the type that prefers
    to just do things yourself.
**[07:06] ---**
    Being a loner suits me.
**[07:08] ---**
    You two are the only ones
    who are special to me.
**[07:11] ---**
    I miss the old days.
**[07:15] ---**
    Hey, we're not old enough
    to be saying that.
**[07:17] ---**
    Back then, it was normal for us
    to be together 24/7.
**[07:22] ---**
    Now, we have to set up
    a time and date just to eat together.
**[07:27] ---**
    It's kinda sad, huh?
**[07:30] ---**
    Maybe that's what it means
    to become an adult.
**[07:35] ---**
    That's for sure.
    Your temperament's changed.
**[07:38] ---**
    Huh? You've got to be kidding.
**[07:41] ---**
    Lately, you never say,
    "what a drag."
**[07:44] ---**
    Haven't you noticed?
**[07:45] ---**
    Really?
**[07:48] ---**
    BARBE-Q
    
    – Thanks for the food!
    – Thank you!
**[07:52] ---**
    They gave me gum when
    I was at the register.
**[07:54] ---**
    Doesn't this bring
    back memories?
**[07:55] ---**
    GUM
    
    Doesn't this bring
    back memories?
**[07:57] ---**
    I always chewed this
    when I was a kid!
**[08:01] ---**
    Oh, it's so sweet!
    Was it always this sweet?
**[08:03] ---**
    Okay, where to next?
**[08:07] ---**
    You still wanna eat more?
**[08:08] ---**
    Let's go BBQ hopping!
**[08:11] ---**
    Sorry, I have to go.
**[08:13] ---**
    Huh?!
**[08:15] ---**
    Shikamaru…
    Is something on your mind?
**[08:19] ---**
    Your mind seems
    to be wandering.
**[08:22] ---**
    It's nothing.
**[08:24] ---**
    I have to leave the village for work,
    on Allied Shinobi business.
**[08:28] ---**
    Is it the same thing Temari
    and Kankuro attend?
**[08:33] ---**
    So Temari is more important
    than us?
**[08:37] ---**
    Oww…
**[08:38] ---**
    What're you talking about?
**[08:41] ---**
    SAMURAI
    
    
    
**[08:42] ---**
    SAMURAI
    
    And so, we hope that
    it grows even more.
**[08:46] ---**
    That concludes my activity report.
**[08:48] ---**
    Are there any other questions?
**[08:51] ---**
    Regarding the long list of
    missing persons after the Great War…
**[08:55] ---**
    How is the search going?
**[08:57] ---**
    It's currently under investigation.
**[08:59] ---**
    How about the drop in shinobi requests
    for three consecutive periods?
**[09:04] ---**
    It's currently under investigation.
**[09:06] ---**
    You know, if it keeps dropping,
**[09:10] ---**
    it'll affect how we administer
    the villages.
**[09:11] ---**
    We should have a more
    detailed report by the next meeting.
**[09:18] ---**
    I understand the view
**[09:20] ---**
    that a decrease in requests
    for shinobi poses a concern.
**[09:24] ---**
    But remember,
    this is a consequence of peace.
**[09:28] ---**
    If there are no more questions,
**[09:31] ---**
    we'll meet again in one month.
**[09:36] ---**
    Hey! Wait, Shikamaru!
**[09:41] ---**
    What's going on, Temari?
**[09:43] ---**
    You're hiding something, aren't you?
**[09:46] ---**
    Huh? What makes you say that?
**[09:49] ---**
    See?
**[09:50] ---**
    When you answer a question
    with a question,
**[09:52] ---**
    it's proof that something's up.
**[09:55] ---**
    What's going on in
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
**[09:57] ---**
    I don't know what
    you're talking about.
**[09:58] ---**
    It's something you can't talk
    to me about?
**[10:01] ---**
    I said there's nothing going on!
**[10:03] ---**
    So there's nothing I can help with?
**[10:07] ---**
    Nope.
**[10:09] ---**
    I see…
**[10:10] ---**
    Hey, Temari…
**[10:12] ---**
    Both you and I are representatives
    of our villages…
**[10:16] ---**
    We shouldn't pry too much
    into the other's—
**[10:23] ---**
    What the hell—?!
**[10:23] ---**
    I misjudged you!
**[10:33] ---**
    So that's what made
    you remember your old man.
**[10:36] ---**
    Yes.
**[10:37] ---**
    He often got yelled at by
    my mom for staying out all night.
**[10:41] ---**
    Sorry you had to go through that.
**[10:43] ---**
    Temari is very intuitive.
**[10:45] ---**
    She's going to find out
    sooner or later
**[10:47] ---**
    about the Land of Silence.
**[10:49] ---**
    Many of the missing from
    the Great War
**[10:51] ---**
    and Rogue Ninja are filtering
    into this mysterious land.
**[10:55] ---**
    And there's a deep, dark rumor
**[10:57] ---**
    that it's undertaking
    shinobi missions illegally.
**[11:00] ---**
    By rights, the Shinobi Alliance
    should deal with this problem.
**[11:04] ---**
    It'll be troublesome if
    they find out that
**[11:07] ---**
    we're independently
    investigating this.
**[11:10] ---**
    But taking action on
    the Land of Silence
**[11:12] ---**
    in the name of the alliance
    will be touchy.
**[11:16] ---**
    Just when we finally
    achieved peace.
**[11:19] ---**
    It's already been two weeks
    since Sai left word
**[11:22] ---**
    that he was infiltrating
    the Land of Silence, right?
**[11:25] ---**
    We can't just stand by without
    taking action any further.
**[11:34] ---**
    It's finally here.
**[11:44] ---**
    *The state of affairs is more serious*
    *than we previously thought.*
**[11:47] ---**
    *If the Land of Silence is left*
    *to continue as is,*
**[11:49] ---**
    *the Shinobi Alliance will*
    *be threatened at some point.*
**[11:51] ---**
    *There is one leader*
    *at work in this land.*
**[11:56] ---**
    *His name is…*
**[11:57] ---**
    Gengo.
**[11:59] ---**
    I've never heard that name before.
**[12:01] ---**
    *It's possible,*
    *he will become the one*
**[12:04] ---**
    *who may very well change*
    *the pitiful existence of shinobi…*
**[12:07] ---**
    *In fact, he may change*
    *the whole framework of this world.*
**[12:10] ---**
    *I don't even know*
    *myself anymore…*
**[12:14] ---**
    This isn't good.
**[12:16] ---**
    Right?
**[12:17] ---**
    Sai led a team of ten,
**[12:19] ---**
    comprised of the cream of
    the crop among the ANBU.
**[12:23] ---**
    It would take a formidable enemy
    to wipe them out…
**[12:27] ---**
    Probably…
**[12:28] ---**
    Sai's instincts were right.
**[12:30] ---**
    Many of the shinobi who
    disappeared after the Great War
**[12:34] ---**
    and Rogue Shinobi are
    in the Land of Silence.
**[12:37] ---**
    I hope Sai is all right.
**[12:39] ---**
    He's not one to get killed
    so easily, but…
**[12:43] ---**
    There are hints in
    his message that sound
**[12:46] ---**
    like admiration for
    this man named Gengo.
**[12:49] ---**
    You don't think Sai has…?
**[12:51] ---**
    He's very pure hearted, so…
**[12:54] ---**
    If we're to get Sai out of there
**[12:55] ---**
    and nip the Land of Silence
    in the bud…
**[12:58] ---**
    we have just one option.
**[13:01] ---**
    Could we be thinking
    the same thing?
**[13:04] ---**
    Yes.
**[13:06] ---**
    However, you can't go.
**[13:09] ---**
    Right…
**[13:10] ---**
    To go unnoticed,
    a three-man squad will be best.
**[13:14] ---**
    Could you get two good shinobi
    from the ANBU?
**[13:18] ---**
    A three-man squad…
**[13:19] ---**
    You already have someone in mind
    for the third member?
**[13:23] ---**
    What we're attempting is
**[13:25] ---**
    a clear breach of faith
    toward the alliance.
**[13:27] ---**
    If worse comes to worst,
**[13:28] ---**
    we would have to disavow
    any knowledge of this team.
**[13:32] ---**
    I'll go.
**[13:34] ---**
    You carry a big part of
    the responsibilities within the alliance.
**[13:37] ---**
    You can't…
**[13:39] ---**
    I'm simply adding another job
    to my plate.
**[13:41] ---**
    It's useless to try to
    stop you, isn't it?
**[13:44] ---**
    Still, I would have thought
    you'd pick Ino and Choji.
**[13:49] ---**
    For this mission,
**[13:51] ---**
    we need someone who can
    control chakra and can hide us.
**[13:56] ---**
    And someone who has a jutsu
    to make a direct hit on the target.
**[14:00] ---**
    Besides…
**[14:01] ---**
    Besides?
**[14:02] ---**
    Those two have
    their own lives now.
**[14:06] ---**
    I think I know just
    the ANBU for this.
**[14:10] ---**
    They're both easy to work with…
**[14:13] ---**
    So I'm sure you'll like them.
**[14:16] ---**
    SHIKAMARU
    
    
**[14:17] ---**
    SHIKAMARU
    
    What?
**[14:18] ---**
    Going on a business trip, senpai?
**[14:20] ---**
    Yeah, take care of things here
    for me.
**[14:23] ---**
    It must be nice!
**[14:25] ---**
    I wish I could go too!
**[14:27] ---**
    Damn it.
**[14:29] ---**
    Please bring me back a souvenir!
**[14:31] ---**
    Yeah sure, I will.
**[14:34] ---**
    This is Soku of the ANBU.
**[14:37] ---**
    Easy to work with, huh?
**[14:40] ---**
    And where's the other one?
**[14:42] ---**
    I am right here.
**[14:44] ---**
    When did you—?
**[14:45] ---**
    He's Ro.
**[14:47] ---**
    He has the ability to freely manipulate
    his own and others' chakra
**[14:50] ---**
    to erase all signs of his presence
    or become another person.
**[14:55] ---**
    If I were to put it simply,
**[14:57] ---**
    it's a modification of
    the chakra from
**[14:59] ---**
    the point of view of
    what others perceive.
**[15:02] ---**
    I do not actually increase
    the chakra of the target,
**[15:06] ---**
    I create an anachronism
    in their perception.
**[15:10] ---**
    Like, that's even more confusing.
**[15:12] ---**
    This one's still a kid.
**[15:14] ---**
    Like, unthinkable, right?
**[15:15] ---**
    In the world of shinobi,
    ability is, like, everything.
**[15:18] ---**
    You don't mince words.
**[15:19] ---**
    After the Academy,
**[15:21] ---**
    we noticed Hinoko's talents
    and scouted her for the ANBU.
**[15:25] ---**
    She's only 14,
**[15:27] ---**
    but she's already highly regarded
    in the ANBU.
**[15:29] ---**
    I asked you to like,
    not to use my real name, Lord Hokage.
**[15:32] ---**
    Your name's Hinoko?
**[15:35] ---**
    That's a really cute na—!
**[15:38] ---**
    I, like, hate to be called that name.
**[15:40] ---**
    I'd like you to be careful
    about that.
**[15:43] ---**
    So, what can you do?
**[15:46] ---**
    My weapon is a chakra needle.
**[15:51] ---**
    Once my needle hones in
    on a target,
**[15:54] ---**
    it will not stop its pursuit until,
    it like, pierces its target.
**[15:57] ---**
    Very suitable for assassination.
**[16:06] ---**
    I don't like,
    needlessly kill.
**[16:08] ---**
    I pierced its chakra stimulation point,
**[16:11] ---**
    so it's like, several times
    more livelier now.
**[16:15] ---**
    We'll infiltrate using Ro's jutsu,
**[16:17] ---**
    then I'll immobilize the target
    with my Shadow Strangle Jutsu,
**[16:21] ---**
    and Soku will finish him.
**[16:22] ---**
    A true collaboration indeed.
    The synergy in this plan is ideal.
**[16:28] ---**
    Like, that sounds tedious.
**[16:30] ---**
    They're exactly what you wanted.
**[16:32] ---**
    I have no objections…
**[16:35] ---**
    Then, like, what's the issue?
**[16:37] ---**
    Can you drop the "like" thing?
**[16:40] ---**
    Like, absolutely not.
**[16:41] ---**
    Well, it's decided.
    So once everything's ready—
**[16:44] ---**
    Would it be okay to leave
    tomorrow morning?
**[16:47] ---**
    It's not shogi again, is it?
**[16:50] ---**
    I have some business
    to take care of.
**[16:54] ---**
    So anyway, looks like
**[16:56] ---**
    SHIKAKU NARA
    
    I'll be heading back a bit later,
    so I won't be able to visit next month.
**[17:00] ---**
    I have two subordinates under me.
**[17:04] ---**
    It's not like me, huh?
**[17:11] ---**
    ASUMA SARUTOBI
    
**[17:15] ---**
    Both you and my dad had someone
    you'd give your lives to protect.
**[17:20] ---**
    But, I haven't found anyone
    like that yet…
**[17:24] ---**
    Big Brother Shika!
**[17:27] ---**
    Mirai!
**[17:29] ---**
    Big Brother Shika!
**[17:30] ---**
    Whoa, there!
**[17:35] ---**
    Shikamaru, you're so busy these days,
**[17:37] ---**
    you don't need to
    come every month.
**[17:40] ---**
    I'm not that busy.
**[17:43] ---**
    This is our babysitter.
**[17:45] ---**
    She occasionally watches
    Mirai for me.
**[17:47] ---**
    Hello.
**[17:49] ---**
    He may not look it, but he's
    Lord Hokage's right-hand man.
**[17:52] ---**
    Please…
**[17:53] ---**
    Oh, I see!
**[17:55] ---**
    I'm sorry, I still don't know
    these things yet.
**[17:58] ---**
    She just started living here.
**[18:02] ---**
    People are moving into
    this village
**[18:05] ---**
    all because of people like
    you and the Lord Hokage.
**[18:07] ---**
    Please, don't mention it.
**[18:09] ---**
    I hope this peace will last
    for a long time.
**[18:12] ---**
    ASUMA SARUTOBI
    
**[18:15] ---**
    Big Brother!
**[18:16] ---**
    Flowers!
**[18:17] ---**
    Oh really?
    You brought them for your daddy?
**[18:21] ---**
    You're so clever, Mirai!
**[18:23] ---**
    Mirai, you really love
    Big Brother Shikamaru, don't you?
**[18:27] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[18:31] ---**
    This peace will last.
**[18:36] ---**
    I'll make it last.
**[18:45] ---**
    Why now?
**[18:48] ---**
    Damn it!
**[18:49] ---**
    Such bad luck.
**[19:02] ---**
    Hey, Shikamaru!
**[19:05] ---**
    You're up awfully early.
**[19:09] ---**
    Naruto…
**[19:10] ---**
    I could say
    the same about you.
**[19:13] ---**
    I got up and couldn't
    go back to sleep…
**[19:15] ---**
    I'm on my way home
    from Ichiraku Ramen.
**[19:18] ---**
    That shop opens that early?
**[19:21] ---**
    It's open 24 hours now!
**[19:24] ---**
    Yeah but, who eats ramen
    for breakfast?
**[19:26] ---**
    I could eat it for breakfast,
    lunch, and dinner.
**[19:29] ---**
    Half of my body's made of ramen!
**[19:34] ---**
    Hmm?
    Do I smell like garlic?
**[19:37] ---**
    Oh…
**[19:39] ---**
    Chew this.
**[19:41] ---**
    GUM
    
**[19:42] ---**
    This brings back memories!
**[19:44] ---**
    I love this stuff!
**[19:49] ---**
    See ya.
**[19:51] ---**
    Work?
**[19:52] ---**
    Yeah, just a little.
**[19:54] ---**
    Don't just sit around
    and eat ramen.
**[19:56] ---**
    Do some work.
**[19:58] ---**
    Well, a certain someone somewhere
**[19:59] ---**
    keeps assigning me
    annoying missions…
**[20:02] ---**
    So I won't have a break
    for the next six months.
**[20:04] ---**
    This is the most critical time
    in your life.
**[20:08] ---**
    I know that.
**[20:09] ---**
    But you know—
**[20:10] ---**
    No buts!
**[20:12] ---**
    Take on as many missions
    as possible,
**[20:15] ---**
    make it so everyone says,
**[20:17] ---**
    "It has to be Naruto,
    no one else will do."
**[20:19] ---**
    If you think
    they acknowledge you now
**[20:21] ---**
    because you're the hero
    of the Great War, you're wrong.
**[20:24] ---**
    Yeah, yeah.
**[20:26] ---**
    – Hey, Naruto.
    – Hmm?
**[20:28] ---**
    You're going to become
    the Hokage.
**[20:31] ---**
    Don't ever forget that.
**[20:33] ---**
    I never go back on my word.
**[20:36] ---**
    That's my Ninja Way.
**[20:38] ---**
    You mean "our" way.
**[20:41] ---**
    Yeah.
**[20:44] ---**
    *Naruto…*
**[20:46] ---**
    *Always stay*
    *just the way you are.*
**[20:50] ---**
    *That's the reason why*
    *I'm here.*
**[20:58] ---**
    Anyway…
**[21:00] ---**
    I guess it's time to go to work.
**[22:40] ---**
    I humbly guarantee that
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    we will be able to deceive
    the enemy's eyes with this.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Like, if we kill all of the lookouts,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    it will be easy to pass
    through the checkpoint.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    It would spell trouble
    if we do that
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    and they found out
    the Leaf's involved.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Don't underestimate the enemy.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    If we linger too long,
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    we'll only like, up the chances
    of the enemy noticing us.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark,
    Part 2: Dark Clouds"
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    Soku, trust me.
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:06] ---**
    The minute Sasuke returned
    to the village,
**[00:09] ---**
    people stopped paying attention
    to you.
**[00:12] ---**
    How trivial.
**[00:13] ---**
    Do you think something like
    that would bother me?
**[00:15] ---**
    You might consider yourself
    a member of Team 7,
**[00:19] ---**
    but I wonder what they think?
**[00:23] ---**
    Do you really think I'd fall
    for your cheap persuasions?
**[00:26] ---**
    I'm…
**[02:07] ---**
    *Dark Clouds*
    
    
    
**[02:12] ---**
    That's the inn that Lord Sai
    last stopped by…
**[02:17] ---**
    Yeah.
**[02:18] ---**
    Also, look slightly above it.
**[02:22] ---**
    That's the only checkpoint leading
    into the village of Tobari.
**[02:25] ---**
    Unless we get past it,
    we can't get to the village.
**[02:33] ---**
    Sure, but is this get-up, like,
    really necessary?
**[02:37] ---**
    It looks very becoming
    on you, Soku.
**[02:42] ---**
    Look, I had to bend over backwards to
    get a coal vendor's traveling permit.
**[02:47] ---**
    If you have any better ideas on getting
    past the checkpoint, let me know.
**[02:52] ---**
    We can humbly guarantee that
**[02:55] ---**
    we will be able to deceive
    the enemy's eyes with this.
**[02:57] ---**
    Like, if we kill all of the lookouts,
**[02:59] ---**
    it will be easy to pass
    through the checkpoint!
**[03:01] ---**
    It would spell trouble
    if we do that
**[03:04] ---**
    and they found out
    the Leaf's involved.
**[03:07] ---**
    Besides, Sai's entire team
    was killed around here.
**[03:11] ---**
    Don't underestimate the enemy.
**[03:12] ---**
    If we linger too long,
**[03:14] ---**
    we'll only, like, up the chances
    of the enemy noticing us.
**[03:18] ---**
    Both of you, listen up.
**[03:25] ---**
    Look, I think it's crucial that
    we trust each other.
**[03:32] ---**
    And trust first begins with
    having faith in your partner.
**[03:38] ---**
    Did you get that out of, like,
    some weird book?
**[03:40] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru is doing
    his utmost to act like our leader.
**[03:46] ---**
    Quit trying to analyze me!
**[03:49] ---**
    Anyway! This mission
    requires teamwork—
**[03:52] ---**
    Huh?!
**[03:53] ---**
    What's the big idea?!
**[03:55] ---**
    Like, take a good look.
**[04:00] ---**
    Land of Silence shinobi?!
**[04:03] ---**
    Soku!
**[04:07] ---**
    Don't take action by yourself!
**[04:08] ---**
    I'm better at, like,
    this sort of thing!
**[04:24] ---**
    I did it!
**[04:26] ---**
    Hey, c'mon.
**[04:29] ---**
    You just ruined our disguise.
**[04:32] ---**
    This has turned out to be
    a problematic occurrence.
**[04:36] ---**
    Well… I guess it's back to
    square one for our strategy.
**[05:04] ---**
    What'll you have?
**[05:05] ---**
    Can I have a water?
**[05:09] ---**
    You can have all you want.
**[05:14] ---**
    Anyway…
**[05:16] ---**
    I heard the checkpoint
    to Tobari is around here.
**[05:21] ---**
    I've got nothing to say to outsiders.
**[05:27] ---**
    KNIGHT
    
**[05:28] ---**
    The "demon killer"?
**[05:32] ---**
    Oh…You know the game?
**[05:35] ---**
    May I sit in?
**[05:38] ---**
    What luck finding an opponent
    in these parts.
**[05:42] ---**
    A welcome sight indeed.
**[05:45] ---**
    Are you traveling alone?
**[05:48] ---**
    I've come to the village of Tobari
    to request shinobi assistance.
**[05:51] ---**
    But they're checking
    my background and what not,
**[05:55] ---**
    so, I've had to wait,
    as you can see.
**[05:57] ---**
    The Village of Tobari?
**[05:59] ---**
    I've been wanting to do
    some business there.
**[06:02] ---**
    Going in and out of there
    is such hassle.
**[06:06] ---**
    PASSAGE
    
    Unless you have this pass,
    it's probably impossible.
**[06:11] ---**
    You got me!
**[06:13] ---**
    Didn't expect that move!
**[06:14] ---**
    PASSAGE
    
    Time's up…
**[06:18] ---**
    By the way…
**[06:19] ---**
    Why did you choose
    the Land of Silence?
**[06:22] ---**
    There are other lands that
    accept shinobi requests.
**[06:26] ---**
    Well, it's the price.
**[06:28] ---**
    After all, I don't mind
    who does the work itself,
**[06:30] ---**
    whether it's the Silence
    or the Hidden Leaf.
**[06:36] ---**
    After all, shinobi are merely
    appendages that you use,
**[06:39] ---**
    then discard.
**[06:43] ---**
    Please excuse me!
**[06:48] ---**
    Are you trying to sabotage
    our strategy?
**[06:50] ---**
    It's because we let guys like that
    say whatever they want that,
**[06:53] ---**
    like, shinobi are always
    looked down upon.
**[06:56] ---**
    That's no reason to kill him.
**[06:58] ---**
    I just wanted to
    shake him up a little.
**[07:01] ---**
    Like, you're the one
    who doesn't trust us.
**[07:04] ---**
    Then act with more caution.
**[07:09] ---**
    Got any complaints?
**[07:12] ---**
    No way I'll mess up a mission
    by being, like, overcautious!
**[07:19] ---**
    That girl…
**[07:21] ---**
    Isn't she acting too rash?
**[07:23] ---**
    More than anyone,
    Soku fears that peace in the land
**[07:27] ---**
    will spell the end of
    a shinobi's existence.
**[07:35] ---**
    I presume she is determined
    to make this mission a success
**[07:37] ---**
    to prove the value of shinobi
    to the world.
**[07:41] ---**
    So much blood was shed
    to achieve this long-sought peace.
**[07:45] ---**
    It's ridiculous that
    some people can't stomach it.
**[07:49] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru, you proved
    your mettle and worth as a shinobi
**[07:52] ---**
    in the last Great Ninja War.
**[07:55] ---**
    But she's never had
    a chance to do so.
**[07:57] ---**
    Such is the sorrow of
    the generation that came too late.
**[08:02] ---**
    Ro, what about you?
**[08:05] ---**
    You've experienced a lot,
    haven't you?
**[08:08] ---**
    I simply escaped death,
    that is all.
**[08:12] ---**
    Everyone, do not move!
**[08:16] ---**
    We're going to confirm
    your identity.
**[08:19] ---**
    You will not be allowed
    to leave the building!
**[08:21] ---**
    Hey!
**[08:25] ---**
    What happened?
**[08:26] ---**
    The shinobi in the ravine were,
    like, discovered.
**[08:30] ---**
    They move faster than I thought.
**[08:35] ---**
    Don't!
**[08:36] ---**
    – We can't make a scene now.
    – I'm just waiting for my shogi partner!
**[08:38] ---**
    – Then what do we do?!
    – Move!
**[08:39] ---**
    – I'm thinking…
    – You two!
**[08:43] ---**
    Over here!
**[08:47] ---**
    How dare you!
**[08:48] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[08:51] ---**
    We owe our lives to you.
**[08:53] ---**
    No thanks necessary.
**[08:55] ---**
    I hate those guys from Tobari.
**[08:59] ---**
    They're always so arrogant.
**[09:02] ---**
    I'm Komori. Nice to meet you.
**[09:04] ---**
    Uh, we're…
**[09:06] ---**
    Whoa!
**[09:07] ---**
    You don't have to tell me.
**[09:09] ---**
    We all have a thing or two
    we keep hidden, eh?
**[09:15] ---**
    Komori, we want to go
    to the Village of Tobari.
**[09:19] ---**
    Do you know of a way
    to get past the checkpoint?
**[09:21] ---**
    Now that's a tough question
    to answer.
**[09:23] ---**
    But why do you want
    to go there?
**[09:26] ---**
    We've got some minor business
    to take care of.
**[09:29] ---**
    Someone's here!
**[09:41] ---**
    What? It's just a mouse.
**[09:43] ---**
    Don't scare me like that!
**[09:49] ---**
    What don't you understand
    about waiting until we find a way
**[09:52] ---**
    to get through the checkpoint?
**[09:54] ---**
    Like, if we take our time,
    we'll lose the chance to kill Gengo!
**[09:59] ---**
    It's too dangerous to go alone.
**[10:01] ---**
    You are not to act alone!
**[10:04] ---**
    I just want to,
    like, prove my ability.
**[10:08] ---**
    And I won't be held back
    by stupid rules!
**[10:11] ---**
    Grow up!
**[10:12] ---**
    This isn't some kind of game!
**[10:16] ---**
    What a drag.
**[10:17] ---**
    What?!
**[10:18] ---**
    Maybe I'll have more freedom
    in the Land of Silence.
**[10:22] ---**
    You mustn't say
    such reckless things.
**[10:25] ---**
    Hey, you're not…
**[10:28] ---**
    getting any weird ideas, are you?
**[10:32] ---**
    Deserting the village is
    a serious crime.
**[10:34] ---**
    Rogue Ninja are hunted down
    to the ends of the earth
**[10:37] ---**
    and are always punished to
    the harshest extent of shinobi law.
**[10:40] ---**
    You're aware of that, aren't you?
**[10:44] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru, Soku isn't serious.
**[10:47] ---**
    Isn't that so?
**[10:49] ---**
    Like I care!
**[10:51] ---**
    Hey, we're not done here!
**[11:00] ---**
    Oh?
**[11:02] ---**
    In a bad mood?
**[11:04] ---**
    Like, it's none of your business.
**[11:06] ---**
    I don't know what happened,
**[11:09] ---**
    but it's over if
    you get discouraged.
**[11:11] ---**
    Look at me.
    I'm forced to do jobs like this…
**[11:15] ---**
    But one day, I'm gonna have
    a huge inn of my own!
**[11:20] ---**
    Like, no one asked you.
**[11:23] ---**
    That kid…
**[11:26] ---**
    I hope she knows what
    she's supposed to do here.
**[11:29] ---**
    There's no need to worry
    about Soku.
**[11:35] ---**
    I just wanted to, like,
    make my power useful.
**[11:39] ---**
    So, you were a shinobi.
**[11:42] ---**
    It's a secret.
**[11:43] ---**
    I-I know that!
**[11:47] ---**
    Everyone in the village
    has gotten used to peace,
**[11:50] ---**
    and they're too timid.
**[11:52] ---**
    Like, at this rate,
**[11:53] ---**
    I should have just gone to
    the Land of Silence.
**[11:56] ---**
    Surely, you're not going to
    desert your village?
**[11:59] ---**
    Isn't that a serious crime?
**[12:03] ---**
    Like, yeah, I know that.
**[12:08] ---**
    I feel a little better
    after talking to you.
**[12:11] ---**
    I'm going back to the guys.
**[12:13] ---**
    I see…
**[12:14] ---**
    I'll come with you!
**[12:18] ---**
    You don't have to.
**[12:20] ---**
    I'm used to getting scolded,
**[12:23] ---**
    so I'm really good
    at apologizing!
**[12:26] ---**
    Ro, you saw her eyes too, right?
**[12:30] ---**
    You are overthinking this.
**[12:32] ---**
    If Soku is serious about
    deserting the village…
**[12:36] ---**
    we have to silence her.
**[12:38] ---**
    Can you do it?
**[12:40] ---**
    I'm asking you,
    would you be able to do it?
**[12:42] ---**
    Desertion is a serious crime.
**[12:45] ---**
    If Soku is serious,
**[12:48] ---**
    I shall not falter.
**[12:53] ---**
    I knew it!
**[12:55] ---**
    Like, they're not comrades
    or anything!
**[12:58] ---**
    Wait!
**[13:00] ---**
    Soku!
**[13:02] ---**
    I don't have a place
    where I belong anymore.
**[13:07] ---**
    What if…
**[13:08] ---**
    I told you that
    there's a safe route
**[13:11] ---**
    to get to the checkpoint
    without being discovered?
**[13:14] ---**
    Are you willing to risk it?
**[13:22] ---**
    *It's the long way,*
    *but if you follow the river,*
**[13:26] ---**
    *you'll reach the checkpoint*
    *without being seen.*
**[13:33] ---**
    Hey!
**[13:36] ---**
    What are you doing here?
**[13:38] ---**
    U-Uh… I was looking for
    the mouse that got away.
**[13:42] ---**
    Have you seen Soku?
**[13:44] ---**
    I-I didn't see anything!
**[13:47] ---**
    What is going on?
**[13:50] ---**
    Hey!
**[13:51] ---**
    Look at me in the eye
    and answer me again!
**[13:54] ---**
    Where did Soku go?
**[13:56] ---**
    I'm tellin' you I don't know!
**[13:58] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[13:59] ---**
    Is she heading for
    the checkpoint?
**[14:01] ---**
    Did she desert?
**[14:02] ---**
    That's it, isn't it?
**[14:05] ---**
    That's inconceivable!
**[14:06] ---**
    Soku would not desert the village!
**[14:08] ---**
    To find out, we need to catch Soku
    and ask her directly.
**[14:18] ---**
    Stop!
**[14:19] ---**
    Why you—! Who are you?!
**[14:21] ---**
    I deserted my village!
**[14:23] ---**
    I want my skills to be of use here,
    for this land!
**[14:36] ---**
    If you interfere, you're dead!
**[14:39] ---**
    A Rogue Ninja?
    A kid like you?
**[14:43] ---**
    Like, age doesn't matter.
    Ability is everything.
**[14:47] ---**
    Well, at least you talk the talk!
**[15:03] ---**
    You won't walk away with just
    a wound on your leg the next time.
**[15:06] ---**
    D-Don't take this the wrong way.
**[15:09] ---**
    We've had a lot of rats
    sniffing around lately.
**[15:13] ---**
    Just recently…
**[15:14] ---**
    Yeah…
**[15:15] ---**
    It was ANBU from
    the Hidden Leaf.
**[15:19] ---**
    You intend on deserting
    your village at your age?
**[15:23] ---**
    I'm just sick of
    old-fashioned rules.
**[15:26] ---**
    Like, with my skills,
**[15:27] ---**
    you won't regret making me
    one of you.
**[15:29] ---**
    Great! I like you!
**[15:33] ---**
    Well, you certainly have
    an interesting technique.
**[15:37] ---**
    Two of my men who were
    on reconnaissance were just killed.
**[15:41] ---**
    Your technique inflicts the same kind
    of wound that killed them.
**[15:45] ---**
    I wonder why?
**[15:48] ---**
    Would you care to explain?
**[15:52] ---**
    Things aren't looking good for you…
**[15:55] ---**
    are they, young lady?
**[15:58] ---**
    She's okay.
**[16:02] ---**
    Komori?
**[16:04] ---**
    Sorry I didn't say anything.
**[16:06] ---**
    I had to test you to make sure
    we could trust you.
**[16:12] ---**
    She killed our comrades.
**[16:14] ---**
    We can't trust her.
**[16:15] ---**
    They attacked out of nowhere,
    I had no choice.
**[16:19] ---**
    I had a fight with my partners,
**[16:21] ---**
    and I've made up
    my mind to leave.
**[16:24] ---**
    Captain, I've watched her
    all this time.
**[16:28] ---**
    She really did split off
    from her group.
**[16:30] ---**
    But I can't just take
    your word for it.
**[16:34] ---**
    Like, if you don't believe me,
**[16:35] ---**
    I don't mind if we fight it out,
    right here.
**[16:39] ---**
    We found you, Soku!
**[16:43] ---**
    So, you were pulling the strings,
    all this time, Komori!
**[16:48] ---**
    You were pretty quick.
**[16:50] ---**
    But take a good look around you.
**[16:53] ---**
    There's no way you can win!
**[16:55] ---**
    Hey!
**[16:57] ---**
    Even you understand the gravity
    of deserting a village, don't you?
**[17:01] ---**
    Hand her over to us right now.
**[17:04] ---**
    If you interfere,
    I won't go easy on you!
**[17:08] ---**
    Will you turn her over, or not?
**[17:13] ---**
    Interesting…
**[17:15] ---**
    This is your chance to prove
    that you're serious.
**[17:29] ---**
    I'll help you!
**[17:30] ---**
    I don't need your help!
**[17:32] ---**
    This is my problem!
**[17:38] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru,
    I implore you to think it over!
**[17:40] ---**
    Soku has her reasons.
**[17:43] ---**
    Don't be reckless!
**[17:44] ---**
    Are you going to betray me too?
**[17:46] ---**
    Y-You misunderstand!
**[17:49] ---**
    Then you're…first!
**[17:53] ---**
    Lord…Shikamaru!
**[17:56] ---**
    You two…together—!
**[18:11] ---**
    Soku… You didn't...
**[18:35] ---**
    You did well!
**[18:43] ---**
    I don't sense any chakra.
    He's dead.
**[18:46] ---**
    You did it, Soku!
**[18:49] ---**
    You'll be quite useful. Come.
**[19:04] ---**
    You're one of us now.
**[19:08] ---**
    You'll have to go through
    some rounds of questioning,
**[19:10] ---**
    but you'll be released right away.
**[19:13] ---**
    In exchange for the intel
    that you possess—
**[19:19] ---**
    I'm gonna have you, like,
    sleep for a while.
**[19:33] ---**
    Damn it, that was rough!
**[19:37] ---**
    It went quite well.
**[19:40] ---**
    Soku said she'll make it
    seem like we're dead.
**[19:43] ---**
    But that hurt a lot.
**[19:45] ---**
    We owe that young boy
    some thanks too.
**[19:49] ---**
    *What? It's just a mouse.*
**[19:50] ---**
    Earlier, I used chakra to fake
    a shinobi's presence.
**[19:56] ---**
    And his unexpected reaction
    was our lucky break.
**[19:59] ---**
    An ordinary kid wouldn't have
    reacted to chakra like he did.
**[20:03] ---**
    And he performed unerringly
    as we predicted.
**[20:08] ---**
    But what Soku bemoaned…
**[20:11] ---**
    She meant half of what she said.
**[20:13] ---**
    If she had been really serious,
**[20:16] ---**
    she could have killed us both
    at any time.
**[20:19] ---**
    Were you not aware of that risk?
**[20:22] ---**
    This thing about trust…
**[20:24] ---**
    You have to have faith
    in your partner first.
**[20:27] ---**
    Isn't that what I said before?
**[20:28] ---**
    As I'd expected of you.
**[20:30] ---**
    But don't tell Soku.
    Or it will just go to her head.
**[20:34] ---**
    Like, I just heard everything.
**[20:37] ---**
    Your logic's pretty naive, Shikamaru.
**[20:39] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[20:41] ---**
    Don't tell me you really
    meant to hurt me?
**[20:43] ---**
    Like, I can try again.
**[20:48] ---**
    Maybe next time.
**[20:51] ---**
    Anyway, how's it going?
**[20:53] ---**
    I kept the lock open.
**[20:55] ---**
    As long as you return quickly,
    no one will notice.
**[20:57] ---**
    Perfect.
**[22:39] ---**
    Regarding Gengo, we have,
    like, nothing.
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    And no one knows anything about
    the inside of the castle.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    It seems the man known as Gengo
    rarely appears before others.
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Anything on Sai?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Well, we've got, like,
    nothing on that either.
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    Well, it seems this Gengo is
    a very cautious man.
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 3:
    Recklessness"
    
    
    
**[23:05] ---**
    We're gonna expose this guy
    for what he really is!
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[02:25] ---**
    Are you all right, Lord Shikamaru?
**[02:28] ---**
    I thought I might have
    heard you groaning.
**[02:31] ---**
    I've been having
    strange dreams lately.
**[02:34] ---**
    Don't tell me…
    Is it some memory from the past?
**[02:38] ---**
    You too?
**[02:40] ---**
    The memories one wishes to forget most
    tend to stick like glue.
**[02:45] ---**
    It must be old age.
**[02:49] ---**
    I'm only 19!
**[02:52] ---**
    Have you noticed?
**[02:53] ---**
    Even since we came here,
    there's been no wind.
**[02:58] ---**
    *Recklessness*
    
    
    
    
**[03:02] ---**
    Yes, it's totally still.
**[03:05] ---**
    I don't have a good feeling
    about this at all.
**[03:08] ---**
    *Hope she's faking*
    *her death smoothly.*
**[03:13] ---**
    To be killed with her own jutsu…
**[03:16] ---**
    Talk about luck.
**[03:18] ---**
    Anyone foolish enough to get killed
    during an initiation test…
**[03:22] ---**
    wouldn't have been any good.
**[03:27] ---**
    You don't have to worry about Soku.
**[03:35] ---**
    What is it?
**[03:37] ---**
    Intel on Gengo, the guy
    that controls this village.
**[03:40] ---**
    Looks like it was collected by ANBU.
    Want to read it?
**[03:45] ---**
    It's smart to know
    about one's target.
**[03:49] ---**
    Let us see then.
**[03:53] ---**
    This is…blank!
**[03:57] ---**
    It means they couldn't learn
    a single thing.
**[04:02] ---**
    Just this one sheet?
**[04:05] ---**
    Ten shinobi lost their lives for that.
**[04:09] ---**
    It just doesn't make sense.
**[04:11] ---**
    Let me have that.
**[04:16] ---**
    I think it will be more useful
    in the fire.
**[04:35] ---**
    Oh, the dead have returned.
**[04:38] ---**
    Looks like you pulled it off.
**[04:40] ---**
    Pretending to be dead is like, creepy.
**[04:42] ---**
    Otherwise, you would have become
    a shinobi of this land.
**[04:47] ---**
    You should be happy…
**[04:49] ---**
    Now you can move around freely.
**[04:51] ---**
    So? Did you learn anything?
**[04:54] ---**
    Regarding Gengo, we have,
    like, nothing.
**[04:57] ---**
    And no one knows anything about
    the inside of the castle.
**[05:00] ---**
    It seems the man known as Gengo
    rarely appears before others.
**[05:04] ---**
    I learned one thing though.
**[05:06] ---**
    That castle is known
    as Fushu Castle.
**[05:09] ---**
    Fushu?
**[05:10] ---**
    As in prisoners of war…
**[05:12] ---**
    A derogatory term used by
    the mainstream for savage tribes
**[05:15] ---**
    along the border.
**[05:17] ---**
    Like, I can't believe anyone would
    name their own castle such a name.
**[05:22] ---**
    What of Sai?
**[05:24] ---**
    Nothing at all.
**[05:26] ---**
    Tsk… Well, it seems this Gengo
    is a very cautious man.
**[05:31] ---**
    He's worth looking into.
**[05:34] ---**
    Okay, why don't we go
    have some yakiniku…
**[05:43] ---**
    Hey Pops! You call this yakiniku?
**[05:47] ---**
    You can leave if you got
    any complaints!
**[05:49] ---**
    I didn't say I wasn't gonna eat it!
**[05:51] ---**
    Everyone's short of supplies.
**[05:53] ---**
    That's way better than nothing!
**[05:56] ---**
    Like, there are guys from
    all over the place.
**[05:59] ---**
    People without money are probably
    lured here by these requests.
**[06:03] ---**
    How long since
    you opened up shop?
**[06:07] ---**
    About the same time Gengo came,
    so around ten years.
**[06:11] ---**
    This village was doing
    worse back then.
**[06:14] ---**
    This Gengo fellow is
    an outsider too?
**[06:17] ---**
    He and his gang showed up
    out of the blue,
**[06:19] ---**
    and kicked out
    the domineering Feudal Lord.
**[06:22] ---**
    Feudal Lords are all useless.
**[06:25] ---**
    And did living conditions improve?
**[06:28] ---**
    Well, what do you think?
    Take a look around!
**[06:31] ---**
    They're all Gengo's followers.
**[06:33] ---**
    They boss everyone around.
**[06:35] ---**
    It was great that he kicked out
    the Feudal Lord…
**[06:38] ---**
    but after that, he just took over.
**[06:42] ---**
    I've seen that face somewhere…
**[06:45] ---**
    I was just thinking the same thing.
**[07:04] ---**
    There's no mistake.
**[07:05] ---**
    That is Minoichi,
    a former member of the ANBU.
**[07:08] ---**
    I totally thought
    he'd died somewhere.
**[07:11] ---**
    I don't remember anyone
    like him.
**[07:14] ---**
    Well, no wonder.
    This was during the last Great War.
**[07:19] ---**
    He killed everyone in his unit
    and went into hiding.
**[07:25] ---**
    Damn it, I can't stand
    the sight of him.
**[07:29] ---**
    So, like, what's he doing here,
    acting so high and mighty?
**[07:32] ---**
    Well, we'll have to ask him
    that directly.
**[07:54] ---**
    Wh-Who are you guys?!
**[07:55] ---**
    You can't run away anymore,
    Mr. Minoichi.
**[07:58] ---**
    I-I don't know that name!
**[08:01] ---**
    Don't play dumb with me!
**[08:07] ---**
    Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!
**[08:09] ---**
    Clearly, you remember it…
**[08:11] ---**
    If you're from Hidden Leaf Village,
**[08:14] ---**
    you know just what this jutsu
    can do, don't you?!
**[08:17] ---**
    S-Stop!
**[08:18] ---**
    You've moved up
    in the world,
**[08:20] ---**
    considering you killed
    all your comrades.
**[08:22] ---**
    Don't think you can get away
    from shinobi law!
**[08:25] ---**
    I-I'm not a shinobi anymore!
**[08:27] ---**
    I'm a revolutionary!
**[08:29] ---**
    A revolutionary?
**[08:30] ---**
    All of you living your idle lives
    in the stagnant world of shinobi
**[08:33] ---**
    couldn't possible understand
    our noble intentions!
**[08:37] ---**
    Enough of your stupid arguments!
**[08:39] ---**
    Or do you want me to
    kill you right here?
**[08:42] ---**
    S-Stop!
**[08:47] ---**
    Now answer me!
**[08:49] ---**
    Tell me all you know
    about this guy, Gengo!
**[08:51] ---**
    Start talking!
**[08:58] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru!
**[09:07] ---**
    Revolutionaries…earn that title when
    they have had their eyes opened by
**[09:13] ---**
    Lord Gengo's divine will.
**[09:18] ---**
    That's pretty lofty talk.
**[09:21] ---**
    This land does not need lowly men
    like Feudal Lords.
**[09:25] ---**
    We will create the ideal society
    for the shinobi.
**[09:29] ---**
    That's the true revolution
    envisioned by Lord Gengo.
**[09:34] ---**
    Lord Sai of the Hidden Leaf is supposedly
    being held captive here.
**[09:37] ---**
    Will you tell us where he is?
**[09:42] ---**
    You're Ro, aren't you?
**[09:49] ---**
    Who cares about shinobi law?!
**[09:52] ---**
    I've had enough of dying for
    the sake of Feudal Lords!
**[09:55] ---**
    I'll do anything to protect myself!
**[09:58] ---**
    Tsk…
**[09:59] ---**
    At last, you revealed your true self.
**[10:01] ---**
    A coward like you would
    understand how I feel, right, Ro?
**[10:05] ---**
    D-Don't!
**[10:08] ---**
    What're you talking about?!
**[10:09] ---**
    Don't you know what he did?
**[10:23] ---**
    That pressure point paralyzes
    the whole body.
**[10:25] ---**
    He'll be out for a while.
**[10:27] ---**
    Ro!
**[10:29] ---**
    Are you okay, Ro?!
**[10:31] ---**
    Ro!
**[11:07] ---**
    You're up.
**[11:10] ---**
    Like, you had me worried.
**[11:12] ---**
    I was…dreaming.
**[11:17] ---**
    It's okay if you don't wanna
    talk about it.
**[11:21] ---**
    It's funny how the memories
    one wishes to forget most
**[11:25] ---**
    tend to stick like glue.
**[11:28] ---**
    It was back when
    I was still a genin.
**[11:32] ---**
    My unit was ambushed by
    the enemy and…annihilated.
**[11:41] ---**
    I was the lone survivor,
**[11:44] ---**
    so I buried myself under
    the corpses of my comrades…
**[11:48] ---**
    and I suppressed my chakra for days,
    pretending to be dead.
**[11:52] ---**
    Thanks to the jutsu I mastered
    during that time,
**[11:55] ---**
    I was picked up by the ANBU.
**[11:58] ---**
    But this jutsu is a cursed power…
**[12:01] ---**
    acquired from the slaughter
    of my comrades.
**[12:05] ---**
    The same thing happened to me…
**[12:08] ---**
    The revolutionaries are like,
    gathering in the square.
**[12:14] ---**
    They're planning something.
**[12:16] ---**
    Let's go.
**[12:19] ---**
    But we can't go looking like this.
**[12:26] ---**
    We need like, two more.
**[12:37] ---**
    Ro, is the chakra disguise ready?
**[12:40] ---**
    I've already traced
    the clothing's owner.
**[12:44] ---**
    Soku, we're counting on you
    if anything happens.
**[12:48] ---**
    Soku, are you listening?
**[12:50] ---**
    Hey, you!
**[13:01] ---**
    Fix that collar!
**[13:03] ---**
    Lord Gengo is going
    to address us!
**[13:05] ---**
    Shape up!
**[13:07] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[13:09] ---**
    If you're not doing anything,
    help with the preparations!
**[13:12] ---**
    Understood?
**[13:14] ---**
    Perfect timing, wasn't it?
**[13:17] ---**
    It almost seems too perfect…
**[13:20] ---**
    But we can't pass up this opportunity
    if Gengo's gonna appear.
**[13:30] ---**
    From this spot, we can get Gengo,
    no matter where he tries to hide.
**[13:35] ---**
    Soku, stay alert.
    You've been spacing out.
**[13:38] ---**
    What Minoichi was saying…
**[13:40] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:41] ---**
    Kick out the Feudal Lords and
    create the ideal world for shinobi.
**[13:45] ---**
    It's not a bad idea.
**[13:49] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[13:52] ---**
    I like, just can't accept this system
**[13:55] ---**
    with useless Feudal Lords
    at the top.
**[13:58] ---**
    Don't deny ever thinking that too, Ro!
**[14:04] ---**
    I get where you're coming from.
**[14:06] ---**
    But focus on the mission right now.
**[14:09] ---**
    Distraction leads to mistakes.
**[14:12] ---**
    Like I need to be reminded.
**[14:27] ---**
    The stage is undefended…
**[14:30] ---**
    Either this Gengo is
    really confident,
**[14:34] ---**
    or really stupid.
**[14:40] ---**
    He's finally going to appear.
**[14:42] ---**
    Let's expose this guy
    for what he really is!
**[14:52] ---**
    First, I thank everyone who
    has come together here.
**[15:02] ---**
    Everyone…
**[15:04] ---**
    The day is near for true revolution!
**[15:10] ---**
    We'll have a better chance of catching
    Gengo with Shadow Stitching
**[15:13] ---**
    if we move up closer.
**[15:15] ---**
    Follow me.
**[15:17] ---**
    Tonight, I've planned
    something special.
**[15:22] ---**
    Allow me to introduce someone who tried
    to obstruct our true revolution!
**[15:42] ---**
    Sai!
**[15:46] ---**
    Everyone…What shall this man's fate be?
**[15:49] ---**
    Death!
**[15:50] ---**
    A sacrifice for our revolution!
**[15:56] ---**
    Your wishes have been heard.
**[16:00] ---**
    With the red blood of this man,
**[16:02] ---**
    the true revolution for justice
    will take another leap forward!
**[16:12] ---**
    Are you going to ignore Lord Sai?!
**[16:16] ---**
    We're helpless against that crowd.
**[16:19] ---**
    I'm gonna use this.
**[16:21] ---**
    EXPLOSION
    
    
**[16:21] ---**
    EXPLOSION
    
    A diversion?
**[16:23] ---**
    Ten years have passed quickly
    since I rose up in this land.
**[16:26] ---**
    Many comrades have joined me
    and this land has started to flourish.
**[16:32] ---**
    However…!
**[16:33] ---**
    not a single one of
    our hopes has yet been realized.
**[16:44] ---**
    I want ask the citizens
    of the Land of Silence!
**[16:48] ---**
    This land under the rule
    of the Feudal Lord…
**[16:50] ---**
    and this land now—
    which is the better world to live in?
**[16:55] ---**
    Feudal Lords who have
    nowhere near
**[16:56] ---**
    our strength or intelligence
    have ruled over the shinobi.
**[17:00] ---**
    But that dark age is a thing of the past.
**[17:03] ---**
    We, the revolutionaries,
    will protect this land!
**[17:06] ---**
    The wish of the revolutionaries
    is to push forward
**[17:11] ---**
    to make this land rich
    and prosperous!
**[17:13] ---**
    Damn it!
**[17:14] ---**
    The ones who should rule this land
    are not the Feudal Lords…
**[17:17] ---**
    but we who possess
    the power of shinobi!
**[17:20] ---**
    Hey, Ro!
**[17:20] ---**
    – This is no time to daydream!
    – The shinobi is the key…
**[17:23] ---**
    – Snap out of it!
    – to make this land safe and just.
**[17:26] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru!
**[17:27] ---**
    – I was…
    – It's been ten years since
**[17:29] ---**
    EXPLOSION
    
**[17:30] ---**
    I'm gonna rescue Sai.
**[17:32] ---**
    When you see me go around
    the back, lay it on real thick.
**[17:35] ---**
    Got it?!
**[17:37] ---**
    Understood!
**[17:40] ---**
    Why must shinobi
    be treated differently?
**[17:45] ---**
    Why must we
    be discriminated against?
**[17:51] ---**
    Damn it!
**[17:52] ---**
    He's using some weird trick!
**[17:56] ---**
    Shinobi locked in the old ways,
    content with their lot
**[17:59] ---**
    content with discrimination,
    content to be controlled, destroyed us!
**[18:03] ---**
    Now hear me!
**[18:05] ---**
    People of the Land of Silence
    awaiting the dawn…
**[18:07] ---**
    The sunlight of a new era shines
    on the Land of Silence!
**[18:24] ---**
    So, you've shown yourself, rat.
**[18:27] ---**
    Your performance is over!
**[18:29] ---**
    Protect Lord Gengo!
**[18:32] ---**
    Lord Gengo, please take cover!
**[18:37] ---**
    Sai, I've come to get you.
**[18:39] ---**
    You'd better not be dead.
**[19:05] ---**
    Cut it out, Sai!
**[19:07] ---**
    I'm here to save you.
**[19:12] ---**
    I've woken up.
**[19:15] ---**
    You will soon
    understand too, Shikamaru.
**[19:20] ---**
    Sai, you!
**[19:22] ---**
    Gengo, is this your doing?
**[19:26] ---**
    How a shinobi of your stature would
    be bound by old-fashioned laws,
**[19:32] ---**
    is beyond my comprehension.
**[19:39] ---**
    Shut up! Shut up!
**[19:43] ---**
    Why do you suppress
    your memories?
**[19:45] ---**
    Are you afraid to face them?
**[19:48] ---**
    You're not fooling me with
    your pretentious talk!
**[19:52] ---**
    Soku, do it!
**[20:01] ---**
    Too bad.
**[20:03] ---**
    Don't you dare do anything
    to my comrades!
**[20:06] ---**
    Do anything to them?
    Of course, not.
**[20:08] ---**
    I happen to like shinobi
    with abilities.
**[20:20] ---**
    And of course, you happen
    to be one of them,
**[20:24] ---**
    genius of the Hidden Leaf,
    Shikamaru Nara.
**[20:36] ---**
    It's no use.
**[20:38] ---**
    Shikamaru, you must wake up too.
**[20:40] ---**
    Stop messing around!
**[20:42] ---**
    I just hate getting woken up
    when I'm fast asleep!
**[20:56] ---**
    Farewell…
**[21:04] ---**
    To be continued
**[22:41] ---**
    Shikamaru, it's useless to hide.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I can't use my shadows,
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    my field of vision has been taken away…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Calm down.
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    There's still a chance an opportunity
    will present itself.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I could break through the enemy camp
    with a Climbing Silver,
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    but a flying knight might fall prey
    to a pawn.
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 4:
    A Cloud of Suspicion"
    
    
    
**[23:03] ---**
    I've no intention of becoming
    a sacrificial pawn!
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:07] ---**
    It's no use.
**[00:08] ---**
    Shikamaru, you must come
    to your senses.
**[00:11] ---**
    Forget it!
**[00:13] ---**
    I hate to be woken up when
    I'm having a good sleep!
**[02:15] ---**
    *Cloud of Suspicion*
    
    
    
    
**[02:30] ---**
    Silver-4c, pawn-3f, rook-4b, rook-4h,
**[02:35] ---**
    bishop-3f, pawn-1f, pawn-1d,
    pawn-2f, king-6b…
**[02:42] ---**
    King-6h, king-7b, king-7h, silver-6b…
**[02:57] ---**
    You're really hanging in there.
**[03:00] ---**
    The average shinobi would
    have given up long ago.
**[03:04] ---**
    I'm busy playing shogi
    with past masters.
**[03:08] ---**
    I don't have time to get bored.
**[03:10] ---**
    I like your stubbornness.
**[03:13] ---**
    You can learn a lot from shogi.
**[03:16] ---**
    No matter what position you're in,
    there's always a way out.
**[03:21] ---**
    Are you planning on
    getting out of this situation?
**[03:23] ---**
    I look forward to seeing that.
**[03:25] ---**
    Hey, can you at least
    give me back my lighter?
**[03:28] ---**
    I just can't calm down
    without it.
**[03:30] ---**
    Sure, when you decide to
    accept Lord Gengo's beliefs.
**[03:35] ---**
    Why would you follow
    a guy like that?
**[03:38] ---**
    Let's just say I found
    the place where I belong.
**[03:41] ---**
    And that wasn't
    the Hidden Leaf Village?
**[03:43] ---**
    Weren't you a member of Team 7?
**[03:46] ---**
    Then why didn't Naruto come?
**[03:49] ---**
    You and I aren't close,
    so why did you come?
**[03:54] ---**
    Naruto knows nothing
    about this situation.
**[03:57] ---**
    This was all my decision.
**[03:59] ---**
    Even still, if this had been
    Sasuke or Sakura,
**[04:03] ---**
    surely Naruto would have come…
**[04:05] ---**
    I bet Gengo put those ideas
    in your head, right?
**[04:10] ---**
    There's no doubt that
    Gengo controls people with words.
**[04:13] ---**
    So why don't you snap out
    of it and wake up?
**[04:15] ---**
    I woke up a long time ago.
**[04:17] ---**
    When Lord Gengo gave me a will.
**[04:25] ---**
    Wait.
**[04:27] ---**
    Do you still have more to say?
**[04:29] ---**
    I promise…
**[04:30] ---**
    I'm gonna undo Gengo's jutsu
    and save you.
**[04:35] ---**
    I'd resign myself if I were you.
**[04:39] ---**
    Otherwise, things will get much worse.
**[04:48] ---**
    You're a member of the Hidden Leaf.
**[04:50] ---**
    Don't forget that!
**[05:05] ---**
    Pawn-4e, bishop-3c…
**[05:08] ---**
    Knight-3g…
**[05:10] ---**
    Nope…
**[05:11] ---**
    I don't have enough pieces right now.
**[05:13] ---**
    The king's gonna get away.
**[05:20] ---**
    Ro! Is that you?!
**[05:22] ---**
    That voice…is it you Lord Shikamaru?
**[05:25] ---**
    Hey Gengo!
**[05:27] ---**
    These guys were just
    obeying my orders!
**[05:29] ---**
    If you're gonna kill someone,
    kill me!
**[05:33] ---**
    Remember, as long as you live,
    there's a chance.
**[05:36] ---**
    Don't give up!
**[05:37] ---**
    I won't let you give up and die!
**[05:41] ---**
    Worry not.
**[05:43] ---**
    This is nothing…
**[05:46] ---**
    What happened to Soku?
    Wasn't she with you?
**[05:49] ---**
    She's okay, isn't she?!
**[05:54] ---**
    Why do you insist on
    serving Feudal Lords
**[05:58] ---**
    and incompetent people
    who oppress you?
**[06:02] ---**
    Like, that's none of
    your business!
**[06:05] ---**
    Remember…
**[06:06] ---**
    The way that those people
    looked at you.
**[06:08] ---**
    What did you see deep
    inside their eyes?
**[06:11] ---**
    Like, I don't remember!
**[06:13] ---**
    Sure, you do.
**[06:14] ---**
    The truth is, it's stuck to your mind
    and won't go away. Isn't that so?
**[06:19] ---**
    Remember!
**[06:20] ---**
    The eyes that looked at you.
**[06:23] ---**
    The suspicious eyes
    that feared me,
**[06:26] ---**
    and tried to discriminate against me…
**[06:29] ---**
    Why must you give your proud and
    mighty life for people like that?
**[06:35] ---**
    Why pledge loyalty to those
    who hold you in bondage?
**[06:41] ---**
    They are using me.
**[06:46] ---**
    Everyone is an enemy.
**[06:48] ---**
    There is nothing to fear.
**[06:50] ---**
    Now, turn.
**[06:51] ---**
    And accept everything.
**[07:02] ---**
    A will has just been granted.
**[07:33] ---**
    I've brought him, Lord Gengo…
**[07:37] ---**
    My apologies for
    the inhospitable treatment.
**[07:40] ---**
    As you know,
    I can't let down my guard.
**[07:43] ---**
    I have no intention
    of speaking to you.
**[07:45] ---**
    It's obvious you're trying
    to control me with your words.
**[07:48] ---**
    You're starting to look
    like your father.
**[07:52] ---**
    Forgive me, but I looked
    into your background.
**[07:55] ---**
    Your family and friends…
**[07:57] ---**
    And the fact that
    you came here to kill me.
**[08:02] ---**
    Why do you people
    keep oppressing us?
**[08:06] ---**
    When did we do that?
**[08:08] ---**
    This land is feeble.
**[08:10] ---**
    We barely have natural resources
    and the ground is fallow,
**[08:14] ---**
    yet we are trying
    our hardest to survive. That is all.
**[08:17] ---**
    Yeah right, all the while
    you're gathering up Rogue Ninja…
**[08:20] ---**
    What's your motive?
**[08:22] ---**
    Are you planning on starting a war?
**[08:24] ---**
    I'm not gathering them.
**[08:26] ---**
    They come to me,
    seeking salvation.
**[08:30] ---**
    Salvation?!
**[08:32] ---**
    Have you never questioned
    the current existence of shinobi?
**[08:37] ---**
    Without war,
**[08:38] ---**
    they are no more than hunting dogs
    for Feudal Lords and the rich.
**[08:41] ---**
    Is that truly a fitting life
    for a shinobi?
**[08:44] ---**
    What is it that
    you're trying to say?
**[08:46] ---**
    They come here because
    they want to be real shinobi.
**[08:52] ---**
    The alliance of nations
    to maintain a dark peace…
**[08:55] ---**
    and bind shinobi with
    meaningless laws.
**[08:58] ---**
    But there will always
    be those who reject it.
**[09:01] ---**
    This land is merely
    the gathering place for them.
**[09:05] ---**
    Various rules are necessary
    to preserve peace.
**[09:09] ---**
    The peace you speak of
    is nothing but a theory,
**[09:12] ---**
    forced upon us
    by the Great Nations.
**[09:13] ---**
    The Tailed Beasts that
    you keep are proof of that.
**[09:18] ---**
    Had you used one,
**[09:19] ---**
    this land would be
    completely helpless.
**[09:22] ---**
    Isn't that so?
**[09:24] ---**
    We have no intention of ever using
    a Tailed Beast for war again.
**[09:28] ---**
    You keep the Tailed Beast
    to yourselves,
**[09:31] ---**
    and you expect us to believe that?
**[09:33] ---**
    Isn't that the biggest excuse
    by the Great Nations?
**[09:37] ---**
    Quit jumping to conclusions.
**[09:38] ---**
    Then how about this?
**[09:40] ---**
    Give this land a Tailed Beast too.
**[09:44] ---**
    I'm sure the Hidden Cloud
    has an extra one, correct?
**[09:48] ---**
    Then we wouldn't worry,
    and we would believe you.
**[09:52] ---**
    You know we can't do that.
**[09:54] ---**
    Of course not.
**[09:55] ---**
    You espouse peace openly…
**[09:58] ---**
    but deep down, you don't trust
    small countries like ours.
**[10:04] ---**
    But you can't make the argument
    for war because of that.
**[10:08] ---**
    There's got to be another solution.
**[10:10] ---**
    You need another solution?
**[10:13] ---**
    Come with me.
**[10:14] ---**
    I'd like to show you something…
**[10:48] ---**
    What is this?
**[10:50] ---**
    Agricultural crops can't grow
    at our elevation.
**[10:54] ---**
    The people live in poverty
    with little to eat.
**[10:59] ---**
    If we just had some kind
    of product,
**[11:01] ---**
    something to add value
    to their lives…
**[11:03] ---**
    This flower is the result
    of selective breeding.
**[11:08] ---**
    You've seen it here and there,
    haven't you?
**[11:12] ---**
    But it was all for nothing…
**[11:15] ---**
    This flower wilts the moment
    it's taken out of this village,
**[11:18] ---**
    due to its unique environment.
**[11:22] ---**
    Why did you choose
    the way of the shinobi?
**[11:25] ---**
    Was it to file away documents
    for the rest of your life?
**[11:28] ---**
    Who knows.
**[11:31] ---**
    Most likely not.
**[11:33] ---**
    You train daily to hone
    your skills.
**[11:38] ---**
    And with your skills,
    you defeat the enemy,
**[11:40] ---**
    to protect what is precious.
**[11:42] ---**
    That is the way a shinobi
    should live.
**[11:44] ---**
    That is the way your father
    and mentor lived.
**[11:51] ---**
    How would you know?!
**[11:53] ---**
    You probably hope that you can
    measure up to them someday.
**[11:58] ---**
    But in a world of peace,
    can you really accomplish that?
**[12:04] ---**
    It is because of war,
**[12:07] ---**
    that shinobi abilities underwent
    remarkable development.
**[12:10] ---**
    If there had been continual peace,
**[12:11] ---**
    even you would never have spent
    such worthwhile moments with your friends.
**[12:17] ---**
    Am I wrong?
**[12:24] ---**
    If that's the price for peace,
**[12:26] ---**
    I'll gladly throw down my weapons.
**[12:29] ---**
    You're not speaking
    from your heart.
**[12:32] ---**
    You feel your own abilities
    weakening, don't you?
**[12:42] ---**
    Shikamaru…
**[12:45] ---**
    Shut up!
**[12:46] ---**
    Stay out of this.
**[12:50] ---**
    Do not fear, Shikamaru.
**[12:53] ---**
    Put your hand down.
**[13:00] ---**
    Yes, that's it.
**[13:02] ---**
    First, why don't you calm down?
**[13:04] ---**
    Take a deep breath.
**[13:08] ---**
    Do you like it?
**[13:09] ---**
    The scent of my precious flowers?
**[13:14] ---**
    Come on.
**[13:16] ---**
    I get it…
**[13:17] ---**
    So, that's it.
**[13:25] ---**
    The scent of certain flowers has
    the effect of stirring up memories.
**[13:29] ---**
    So, that's what you've been
    using to brainwash people.
**[13:32] ---**
    What inconceivable will…
**[13:34] ---**
    But that discovery won't
    get you anywhere.
**[13:38] ---**
    You cannot disobey me.
**[13:40] ---**
    Where are my comrades?!
    Where are Ro and Soku?!
**[13:43] ---**
    Bring them here!
**[13:45] ---**
    We are right here.
**[13:48] ---**
    Huh?! You two?!
**[13:51] ---**
    Like, Lord Gengo has
    given us the will...
**[14:07] ---**
    Find him! Don't let him escape
    from this castle!
**[14:18] ---**
    Shikamaru, it's useless to hide.
**[14:30] ---**
    I'm still numb…
**[14:32] ---**
    Damn it, Soku!
**[14:36] ---**
    I can't use my Shadows.
**[14:37] ---**
    My rook and bishop two-piece
    handicap is gone too.
**[14:39] ---**
    The situation is bleak.
**[14:46] ---**
    *It's unlike you…*
**[14:47] ---**
    *I can't believe you'd go*
    *with the Climbing Silver.*
**[14:49] ---**
    *It's using an advance unit*
    *to break through enemy lines.*
**[14:52] ---**
    *You have to be ready to use tactics*
    *like this once in a while…*
**[14:57] ---**
    *If I escape now, the risk for*
    *the Hidden Leaf will increase.*
**[15:00] ---**
    *That's what you told me back then.*
**[15:03] ---**
    *So, I guess that time*
    *has come for me.*
**[15:12] ---**
    Calm down.
**[15:13] ---**
    There's still a chance
    an opportunity will present itself.
**[15:17] ---**
    Shikamaru, presently,
    you are the knight.
**[15:22] ---**
    Breaking through the enemy camp
    with a Climbing Silver or…
**[15:25] ---**
    perhaps a knight that jumps high…
**[15:36] ---**
    Guess I have no choice
**[15:38] ---**
    but to jump back into
    the den of the king.
**[15:46] ---**
    Lord Gengo, are you sure
    it's all right
**[15:49] ---**
    to leave the search
    for Shikamaru to Sai?
**[15:52] ---**
    Like, it will be bad is
    he gets out of the castle.
**[15:54] ---**
    Don't panic.
**[15:57] ---**
    If he gets cornered,
    he's the type
**[16:00] ---**
    to throw himself into an even
    more difficult situation.
**[16:04] ---**
    Isn't that right, Shikamaru?
**[16:09] ---**
    You knew I was here?
**[16:11] ---**
    That's no fun.
**[16:13] ---**
    You wouldn't leave this behind.
**[16:17] ---**
    You came back just for that?
**[16:19] ---**
    You're something.
**[16:21] ---**
    Resign yourself
    and be captured!
**[16:31] ---**
    If the floor won't work,
    there's always the ceiling.
**[16:39] ---**
    Below.
**[16:44] ---**
    My body…
**[16:45] ---**
    Whoa…
**[16:46] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru, release me!
**[16:49] ---**
    To break a genjutsu,
**[16:51] ---**
    the theory is to bring down
    the one who placed it.
**[16:53] ---**
    What do you say, Gengo?
**[16:55] ---**
    Impossible.
**[16:57] ---**
    No one can resist my words.
**[17:00] ---**
    Ro…
**[17:01] ---**
    Sorry, but you'll have to
    be my shield for a while.
**[17:04] ---**
    Shoot.
**[17:05] ---**
    Don't worry about hitting Ro.
**[17:06] ---**
    Go ahead and shoot.
**[17:07] ---**
    Just make sure you aim straight.
**[17:16] ---**
    Stop, Shikamaru.
**[17:18] ---**
    You cannot resist my voice.
**[17:20] ---**
    Don't tell me you—?!
**[17:23] ---**
    You purposely let Soku
    hit you in the ear
**[17:25] ---**
    to dull your sense of hearing?!
**[17:28] ---**
    This is the knight's jump!
**[17:40] ---**
    I'm disappointed, Shikamaru.
**[17:42] ---**
    So disappointed.
**[17:44] ---**
    Please stay back, Lord Gengo.
**[17:45] ---**
    Leave this to me.
**[17:47] ---**
    Well done!
**[17:49] ---**
    Gengo!
**[17:52] ---**
    You won't get away!
**[17:58] ---**
    Damn it!
**[18:15] ---**
    *Damn it, you keep*
    *getting beaten up by girls.*
**[18:20] ---**
    *Weren't you going to*
    *become a better leader*
**[18:22] ---**
    *for the sake of your comrades?*
**[18:25] ---**
    *Dad… I…*
**[18:28] ---**
    *I'm just not cut out to*
    *be a shinobi.*
**[18:41] ---**
    Is he dead?
**[18:42] ---**
    I didn't like, kill him yet.
**[18:44] ---**
    Well, he had no chance
    at the end.
**[18:47] ---**
    How pitiful…
**[18:49] ---**
    *I'm physically at my limit.*
**[18:51] ---**
    *The air feels so heavy.*
**[18:54] ---**
    *Man, this is such a drag.*
**[19:04] ---**
    Are you okay, Shikamaru?
**[19:06] ---**
    Don't you dare die on us!
**[19:12] ---**
    You guys?!
**[19:14] ---**
    But what're you doing here?
**[19:17] ---**
    Oh, I get it. I'm still dreaming…
**[19:19] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[19:21] ---**
    T-Temari?!
**[19:22] ---**
    I expect a lot more from you!
**[19:25] ---**
    Why're you just sitting around
    dazed like that?!
**[19:27] ---**
    Shikamaru?!
**[19:28] ---**
    Stop it, Temari!
**[19:29] ---**
    He'll really die.
**[19:31] ---**
    Shut up!
**[19:33] ---**
    That's for lying to me at
    the Allied Forces meeting.
**[19:37] ---**
    Sorry, Temari.
**[19:41] ---**
    Thanks to you,
    I've come to my senses.
**[19:43] ---**
    Shikamaru!
**[19:44] ---**
    Sorry, but can you take over here?
**[19:47] ---**
    I have one more guy
    to take down.
**[19:51] ---**
    Is that Gengo?!
**[19:53] ---**
    How did you know?
**[19:54] ---**
    Lord Hokage told me.
**[19:57] ---**
    I had a hell of a time trying
    to get it out of him.
**[19:59] ---**
    I don't want to
    even imagine what you did.
**[20:07] ---**
    So, Shikamaru, it's okay
    to crush these guys?
**[20:10] ---**
    They're brainwashed,
    but they're comrades.
**[20:13] ---**
    Please wake them up as well!
**[20:16] ---**
    Like, shut your mouth.
**[20:17] ---**
    Wait!
**[20:19] ---**
    You're forgetting one thing.
**[20:22] ---**
    He probably knows you're coming
    and has laid traps.
**[20:27] ---**
    I hope the odds of your winning
    in that condition is good.
**[20:30] ---**
    I have no intention of being
    a sacrificial pawn.
**[20:43] ---**
    All right then!
**[20:49] ---**
    Okay, let's get on with our final moves…
**[20:54] ---**
    Gengo!
**[21:04] ---**
    TO BE CONTINUED
    
**[22:40] ---**
    The Hidden Leaf still holds
    that much importance to you?
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    Damn right!
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Then I'll let you in
    on something good…
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    What would you think if I said
    I've sent my comrades
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    with the will I bestowed upon them,
    into all of the Hidden Villages?
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    What did you say?
    
    
**[22:56] ---**

**[01:43] ---**
    *I won't let you get away…Gengo!*
**[01:46] ---**
    *Dawn*
    
    
    
**[01:50] ---**
    To think, Shikamaru had
    this many reinforcements
**[01:53] ---**
    waiting in the wings.
**[01:54] ---**
    As expected of a coward like him.
**[01:58] ---**
    I think you're misunderstanding something,
    so I'm going to set you right.
**[02:00] ---**
    We barged in on our own.
**[02:06] ---**
    *Shikamaru is hiding something.*
**[02:08] ---**
    *Yes.*
**[02:10] ---**
    *It must be serious,*
    *for him to act alone.*
**[02:14] ---**
    *Will you look into it, Temari?*
**[02:16] ---**
    *Use as much manpower as necessary.*
**[02:20] ---**
    *Are you sure?*
**[02:21] ---**
    *Shikamaru is a Leaf shinobi.*
**[02:24] ---**
    *Sand or Leaf… The age of*
    *drawing lines is over.*
**[02:27] ---**
    *A man who is essential to*
    *the Alliance is worth it.*
**[02:31] ---**
    *Besides…*
**[02:33] ---**
    *I doubt the Hokage would*
    *willingly give us intel.*
**[02:37] ---**
    *I'll drag it out of him.*
**[02:38] ---**
    *I know you understand,*
    *but do it as peacefully as possible.*
**[02:42] ---**
    *Sure, I'll do it as peacefully…*
**[02:46] ---**
    *as I can.*
**[02:50] ---**
    *And…?*
**[02:51] ---**
    *Is there something else*
    *you needed to ask me?*
**[02:53] ---**
    *Shikamaru is now…*
**[03:03] ---**
    Anyway, we rushed over
**[03:05] ---**
    after hearing that
    Shikamaru was in trouble.
**[03:08] ---**
    Out of friendship, right?
**[03:10] ---**
    That brings a tear to my eye.
**[03:11] ---**
    Well, wait.
**[03:13] ---**
    I'll make you cry so hard,
    you'll hate it.
**[03:16] ---**
    Leave Sai to me.
**[03:19] ---**
    He's strong, you know.
**[03:20] ---**
    Yeah, I know.
**[03:23] ---**
    Sorry, Ino,
    but you're no match for me.
**[03:27] ---**
    Let me take the old man!
**[03:29] ---**
    Oh?
**[03:34] ---**
    Wind Scythe Jutsu!
**[03:45] ---**
    Wow, that was a surprise.
**[03:47] ---**
    But you won't get me
    a second time!
**[03:54] ---**
    I shall show no mercy,
    even if you are just a brat!
**[03:56] ---**
    Expansion Jutsu!
**[03:58] ---**
    What?!
**[04:03] ---**
    Who did you just call a brat?
**[04:10] ---**
    Your name is Soku, right?
**[04:12] ---**
    You should be supporting Shikamaru.
**[04:15] ---**
    So, what the hell are you doing?!
**[04:17] ---**
    Like, I simply chose my master
**[04:20] ---**
    in order to realize
    my full potential.
**[04:22] ---**
    What?
**[04:24] ---**
    Like, staying under
    a weakling like Shikamaru
**[04:27] ---**
    is too tedious and futile!
**[04:32] ---**
    Damn!
**[04:33] ---**
    Aim more carefully next time.
**[04:36] ---**
    If you miss again…
**[04:38] ---**
    you'll lose.
**[04:47] ---**
    You will definitely
    accept my will, Shikamaru.
**[04:54] ---**
    Your head's nothing
    but a flower garden!
**[04:59] ---**
    Resign yourself…
**[05:01] ---**
    It's all too late.
**[05:04] ---**
    Too late?
**[05:05] ---**
    What the hell do you mean?!
**[05:10] ---**
    Not bad!
**[05:12] ---**
    But if you're already out of breath
    against one opponent,
**[05:16] ---**
    you don't have a chance.
**[05:17] ---**
    Sai, wake up!
**[05:20] ---**
    Why don't you worry
    about yourself instead of me?
**[05:23] ---**
    "I don't even know myself anymore…"
**[05:26] ---**
    That's what you supposedly wrote
    in the last missive you sent.
**[05:30] ---**
    I have the will that Lord Gengo
    bestowed upon me.
**[05:34] ---**
    So…I'm not lost anymore!
**[05:44] ---**
    Oh…
**[05:46] ---**
    Did I overdo it?
**[05:48] ---**
    His chakra's not reacting…
**[05:55] ---**
    No way… Did he die?
**[06:05] ---**
    You could say that making my target
    misread chakra is my specialty.
**[06:12] ---**
    I have no idea what you're saying…
**[06:17] ---**
    Shikamaru should be kneeling
    before Lord Gengo about now.
**[06:24] ---**
    Shikamaru would never…
**[06:27] ---**
    What brute strength!
**[06:30] ---**
    …bow down to anyone!
**[06:33] ---**
    Partial Expansion Jutsu!
**[06:35] ---**
    Why you—!
**[06:50] ---**
    Take this!
**[07:04] ---**
    Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!
**[07:25] ---**
    I'll never give up...
**[07:27] ---**
    on a precious friend!
**[07:30] ---**
    Around now, your *precious* friend
    should be receiving Lord Gengo's will.
**[07:36] ---**
    Even as you lay your life on the line.
**[07:39] ---**
    You don't understand, do you?
**[07:42] ---**
    The precious friend I'm talking about…
**[07:45] ---**
    is *you*!
**[07:47] ---**
    *You belong to the Hidden Leaf.*
**[07:49] ---**
    *Don't ever forget that!*
**[07:52] ---**
    Being friends is useless!
**[07:55] ---**
    Then…
**[07:56] ---**
    Then what's that on your cheek?
**[08:02] ---**
    Mind Transmission Jutsu!
**[08:05] ---**
    Let me take over your mind
    for a little while.
**[08:28] ---**
    I didn't lure you in here
**[08:30] ---**
    just to prevent you from
    using your shadows.
**[08:33] ---**
    When a human loses
    the ability to see and smell,
**[08:35] ---**
    his sense of hearing
    becomes much sharper.
**[08:38] ---**
    Giving you an even
    greater advantage, huh?
**[08:42] ---**
    In the shinobi world,
    you're either the user or the used.
**[08:48] ---**
    What're you talking about?
**[08:50] ---**
    Words from a shinobi that
    I once believed in…
**[08:53] ---**
    Surely, even you've heard
    the name Zabuza Momochi.
**[08:58] ---**
    Zabuza…
**[09:00] ---**
    Wasn't he the instigator of
    the Mizukage assassination incident?
**[09:04] ---**
    After the failed coup d'état,
    we deserted the village.
**[09:08] ---**
    We had faith in Zabuza's promise
**[09:10] ---**
    to return some day to create
    the ideal society.
**[09:14] ---**
    But the hardships of wandering
    took its toll and changed him.
**[09:17] ---**
    And so, I used Zabuza instead.
**[09:21] ---**
    Just as he had taught.
**[09:24] ---**
    To put it bluntly,
    you sold out your friend.
**[09:27] ---**
    And I settled here with
    my comrades.
**[09:30] ---**
    In order to create the ideal society
    that Zabuza could not.
**[09:35] ---**
    And now, it's finally becoming a reality.
**[09:39] ---**
    Don't you want to usher
    in that moment with me?
**[09:43] ---**
    No thanks!
**[09:44] ---**
    The only society I'll sacrifice
    my life to protect
**[09:47] ---**
    is the Hidden Leaf!
**[09:48] ---**
    The same way that your father
    and mentor did?
**[09:54] ---**
    You have no right to talk about
    my dad or Asuma!
**[09:58] ---**
    I'll tear down your ideals!
**[10:03] ---**
    What has happened…to me?
**[10:07] ---**
    You are…?
**[10:11] ---**
    Like, my head is throbbing…
**[10:14] ---**
    That's guy's…
**[10:16] ---**
    the only one left.
**[10:20] ---**
    Sai...answer me!
**[10:24] ---**
    Sai!
**[10:26] ---**
    Sai!
**[10:30] ---**
    Who are you?
**[10:32] ---**
    I'm your friend.
**[10:34] ---**
    No…
**[10:36] ---**
    They are my only friends.
**[10:38] ---**
    That's just what that guy Gengo
    made you believe!
**[10:42] ---**
    Don't come any closer! Go away!
**[11:01] ---**
    Let's go back together, Sai.
**[11:05] ---**
    Everyone is waiting for you.
**[11:13] ---**
    Sai… Sai!
**[11:19] ---**
    Ino?
**[11:20] ---**
    You're back!
**[11:22] ---**
    Where is Shikamaru?!
**[11:24] ---**
    Shikamaru went after that Gengo guy.
**[11:27] ---**
    That's not good!
**[11:28] ---**
    I have to let Shikamaru
    know right away!
**[11:31] ---**
    No matter what happens…
**[11:32] ---**
    He can't turn around!
**[11:41] ---**
    Is the Hidden Leaf
    that important to you?
**[11:43] ---**
    Damned right it is!
**[11:45] ---**
    Then I'll let you in on something good…
**[11:49] ---**
    Do you think that I only isolated
    myself in this region
**[11:52] ---**
    and did nothing else?
**[11:55] ---**
    What would you think
**[11:57] ---**
    if I've sent my initiates with
    the will I bestowed upon them,
**[11:59] ---**
    into all of the Hidden Villages?
**[12:02] ---**
    The people of the Five Great Nations
    aren't blind.
**[12:05] ---**
    Your people may have
    infiltrated the core,
**[12:08] ---**
    but they'll get caught in time.
**[12:10] ---**
    I'm talking about the citizens…
**[12:12] ---**
    The safety of those
    who are most dear to you…
**[12:17] ---**
    What did you say?
**[12:20] ---**
    One signal from me,
    and they will create an incident.
**[12:24] ---**
    You don't have the means to stop it.
**[12:29] ---**
    You're bluffing!
**[12:30] ---**
    In time, you'll see if I'm lying or not.
**[12:33] ---**
    *Stop!*
    *Don't you dare touch Mirai!*
**[12:36] ---**
    *Big Brother Shika!*
**[12:37] ---**
    *Mirai!*
**[12:38] ---**
    *Mirai!*
**[12:39] ---**
    Y-You can't fool me…
**[12:43] ---**
    I've already figured out that
    you infuse chakra into your voice
**[12:47] ---**
    to manipulate people.
**[12:50] ---**
    The more you resist with your mind,
    the more the heart seeks it.
**[12:57] ---**
    *Big Brother Shika!*
**[12:59] ---**
    *Mirai!*
**[13:01] ---**
    You'll pay if you lay
    a hand on Mirai…
**[13:04] ---**
    I'll make sure your breath
    is completely snuffed out.
**[13:09] ---**
    *Kill… Kill…*
**[13:12] ---**
    – Gengo, you're dangerous.
    – *Kill… Kill…*
**[13:15] ---**
    I can't let you go on living.
**[13:18] ---**
    This is to protect the Hidden Leaf!
**[13:20] ---**
    – It's for that reason that...
    – *Kill… Kill…*
**[13:21] ---**
    I've come to carry out
    a mission that's not like me!
**[13:25] ---**
    – In order to make Naruto the Hokage!
    – *Kill… Kill…*
**[13:42] ---**
    Naruto…
**[13:50] ---**
    *Ramen!*
**[13:53] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:55] ---**
    What the hell was that?
**[13:57] ---**
    What's the matter, Shikamaru?
**[13:59] ---**
    Now, confront the darkness
    that consumes your heart!
**[14:12] ---**
    I-I have to get it right
    the next time.
**[14:16] ---**
    Look, you're just a brat,
    so it's okay if you ease up a little.
**[14:22] ---**
    But it's my fault that my friends…
**[14:25] ---**
    Thinking about your friends
    is important.
**[14:29] ---**
    But you don't have to take on
    all that responsibility.
**[14:32] ---**
    'Cuz it's a drag.
**[14:41] ---**
    Why?
**[14:43] ---**
    Why doesn't my jutsu work on you?
**[14:45] ---**
    Your heart is full of cracks!
**[14:48] ---**
    Yeah... My heart is full of cracks…
**[14:52] ---**
    In fact, it's nothing but one big crack.
**[14:56] ---**
    I-Impossible!
**[14:57] ---**
    Your words don't have
    any effect on me anymore.
**[15:02] ---**
    I finally understand.
**[15:04] ---**
    Earlier, you said you came to
    this land with your comrades.
**[15:07] ---**
    But why isn't there a single comrade
    standing beside you?
**[15:13] ---**
    You probably killed them all,
    and hid them in this castle, right?
**[15:18] ---**
    You're all alone,
**[15:20] ---**
    because you only believe in
    using others or being used.
**[15:23] ---**
    This place is like peering deep
    into your heart!
**[15:28] ---**
    You and I are alike!
**[15:30] ---**
    We're smart, we can't trust anyone!
**[15:33] ---**
    Don't lump me in with you!
**[15:39] ---**
    You—!
**[15:41] ---**
    Looks like you're still conscious!
**[15:43] ---**
    Yeah, but it was touch and
    go for a little while.
**[15:47] ---**
    Ro, Soku!
**[15:50] ---**
    Let's go.
**[15:52] ---**
    Okay, let's clean this up quickly!
**[15:57] ---**
    Why don't we leave it
    to them this time?
**[16:01] ---**
    Yeah, you're right…
**[16:03] ---**
    Shikamaru did just call
    on those two.
**[16:18] ---**
    A clone?!
**[16:21] ---**
    That's right. With his chakra—!
**[16:27] ---**
    Enveloping his shadow
    with chakra?!
**[16:30] ---**
    Which one is real?
**[16:33] ---**
    I can't...move!
**[16:36] ---**
    If you stop me,
    the world of the shinobi will decline!
**[16:40] ---**
    Don't you care
    if you're consigned
**[16:42] ---**
    to a life of servitude under
    the Feudal Lords?
**[16:45] ---**
    A place where even the easygoing
    can live in their own way…
**[16:50] ---**
    That's the kind of world
    I want to protect!
**[16:53] ---**
    How stupid!
**[16:54] ---**
    I will not let you interfere
    with my vision!
**[17:04] ---**
    Like, the chakra flowing to
    your tongue's been cut off…
**[17:12] ---**
    Mission…complete!
**[17:17] ---**
    Good work.
**[17:19] ---**
    We'll be taking Gengo
    and his revolutionaries
**[17:21] ---**
    back to the Hidden Leaf Village now.
**[17:23] ---**
    Will you be joining us?
**[17:26] ---**
    We…
**[17:31] ---**
    You came to the rescue again.
**[17:34] ---**
    Sheesh...
**[17:36] ---**
    You really are something, Naruto.
**[17:43] ---**
    You guys!
**[17:44] ---**
    What? Did you forget something?
**[17:48] ---**
    Like, we were told
    we're on a mission
**[17:50] ---**
    until we get back to the village.
**[17:51] ---**
    We shall accompany you,
    Lord Shikamaru.
**[17:54] ---**
    Huh? Oh, yeah?
**[17:58] ---**
    Senpai!
**[18:00] ---**
    Yurito?!
**[18:03] ---**
    You came too?
**[18:04] ---**
    I finally got to handle
    a big assignment!
**[18:09] ---**
    O-Oh…
**[18:10] ---**
    Huh? Senpai, aren't you being
    too stiff and formal again?
**[18:15] ---**
    Clouds! The clouds!
    Remember, the clouds!
**[18:19] ---**
    Oh, yeah…
**[18:21] ---**
    Anyways, I'm busy,
    so 'scuse me!
**[18:27] ---**
    Lord Shikamaru?
**[18:30] ---**
    You can reach out to try
    and grab the cloud…
**[18:33] ---**
    but you can never grasp it.
**[18:34] ---**
    If there's wind, it'll blow away.
**[18:36] ---**
    Such a strange thing with no core.
**[18:42] ---**
    Temari…
**[18:43] ---**
    Huh? What is it?
**[18:45] ---**
    Well… It's nothing important, but…
**[18:49] ---**
    Um…
**[18:50] ---**
    What is it?
**[18:51] ---**
    Spit it out.
**[18:53] ---**
    Go a bit easier
    when you slap people, will you?
**[18:57] ---**
    If you space out again,
    I'll slap you as much as I want to!
**[19:01] ---**
    Okay… I'm counting on you for that.
**[19:06] ---**
    Thanks…for what you did this time.
**[19:10] ---**
    Is this an awkward conversation
    or what?!
**[19:13] ---**
    Just hurry and ask her on a date!
**[19:15] ---**
    There, there…
**[19:17] ---**
    Ino…
**[19:19] ---**
    Sai?
**[19:20] ---**
    Thanks, beautiful.
**[19:22] ---**
    I really felt…your kindness.
**[19:25] ---**
    Beautiful? Oh…uh!
**[19:28] ---**
    I want to thank you…
**[19:30] ---**
    That's if you'd let me.
**[19:32] ---**
    Oh… Well then…
**[19:36] ---**
    Maybe a d-date…?
**[19:39] ---**
    Ino, now you're being awkward.
**[19:42] ---**
    Maybe…next time…we can…
**[19:46] ---**
    go get a bite to eat.
**[19:48] ---**
    You mean, a date?
**[19:49] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:50] ---**
    Are you asking me out on a date?
**[19:53] ---**
    Well, yeah.
**[19:57] ---**
    I see. A date, huh.
**[20:00] ---**
    You don't want to?
**[20:02] ---**
    That's not it.
**[20:04] ---**
    Huh? Uh?
**[20:06] ---**
    Be prepared.
**[20:08] ---**
    A date with me
    can be quite a drag.
**[20:14] ---**
    Do you have a plan?
**[20:17] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:18] ---**
    Like, a date strategy.
**[20:19] ---**
    Like I'd have one!
**[20:21] ---**
    Going on a first date
    without a strategy
**[20:24] ---**
    is like fighting
    a Tailed Beast unarmed.
**[20:27] ---**
    You have zero chance of winning.
**[20:30] ---**
    What would you two know?!
**[20:32] ---**
    What are you saying?!
**[20:34] ---**
    I do know a thing or two
    about relationships.
**[20:38] ---**
    You must first find out
    everything you can
**[20:40] ---**
    about Lady Temari's likes and dislikes…
**[20:41] ---**
    and come up with a careful plan.
**[20:44] ---**
    And you need at least
    three contingency plans:
**[20:46] ---**
    one for a sunny day,
    a cloudy day and a rainy day!
**[20:48] ---**
    Prepare small talk
    that won't bore her.
**[20:51] ---**
    Have at least a hundred stories
    in your arsenal.
**[20:56] ---**
    Hey, hey!
**[20:57] ---**
    That's even more of a drag
    than taking Gengo down!
**[21:04] ---**
    "Shikamaru's Story,
    A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark"
    The End
    
**[22:40] ---**
    The day of Naruto and Hinata's wedding
    draws near,
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    but I sent everyone out
    on secret missions!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    It's to get them wedding presents,
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    but it seems it's turning out
    to be surprisingly difficult.
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    The secret behind this mission is…
    
    
**[22:57] ---**
    something I can't talk about!
    
    
**[22:59] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

    Naruto, Hinata,

    Huh?
**[00:12] ---**
    Oh!
**[00:13] ---**
    What're you doing, Sai?
**[00:16] ---**
    Where's your congratulatory message?!
**[00:17] ---**
    Well, I don't think I can say it well.
**[00:21] ---**
    You're a former Team 7 member!
**[00:23] ---**
    You're gonna do this!

    Like I told you before,
    I don't think I can say it well.
**[00:43] ---**
    Naruto! Hinata!
**[00:44] ---**
    To the both of you...
    Have a hot, hot, hot married life!
**[00:49] ---**
    Brother Lee, you're way too close…
**[00:50] ---**
    When you say it, it doesn't sound
    like a congratulatory message…
**[00:53] ---**
    Something's missing!
**[00:55] ---**
    SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH
    
    
**[00:55] ---**
    SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH
    
    Guy Sensei!
**[00:57] ---**
    SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH
    
    My dear Lee…
**[00:58] ---**
    Think if your hot-blooded wish
    will permeate through the lens
**[01:01] ---**
    and be conveyed 100% to
    Naruto and Hinata
**[01:03] ---**
    when your message is played.
**[01:06] ---**
    It needs something
    symbolic on-screen.
**[01:10] ---**
    I know! The sunrise!
**[01:12] ---**
    The sun rising over the horizon
**[01:14] ---**
    to mark the beginning of
    their married life together!
**[01:17] ---**
    Give your message with
    the sunrise in the background…
**[01:19] ---**
    and you'll increase the impact of
    your hot-blooded feelings by 300%!
**[01:21] ---**
    Don't take them too seriously.

    What's up with that?
**[01:28] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Of course, they're well.
**[01:30] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Hey, enough with the wisecracks!

    Tadah!
**[01:34] ---**
    Hey Naruto! Hinata!
**[01:36] ---**
    How ya doin'?

    Hey Kiba! Don't butt in!
**[01:40] ---**
    – Isn't there anyone who's a friend of
    – I heard you were making
**[01:42] ---**
    – Big Brother Naruto who'll let me
    – a congratulatory video!
**[01:43] ---**
    – get a proper message?
    – I searched for you all over town!
**[01:45] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    
**[01:46] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Uh, Naruto, Hinata…
    congratulations on your marriage....
**[01:50] ---**
    Iruka Sensei, you're too nervous, c'mon!
**[01:53] ---**
    Sorry, sorry! I'm not good
    at these sorts of things.
**[01:56] ---**
    Just say what you feel.
**[01:59] ---**
    If he hears his mentor, Iruka Sensei,
    speaking from his heart…
**[02:01] ---**
    Big Bro Naruto's gonna cry!
**[02:04] ---**
    His mentor?
    That's going a bit too far.
**[02:08] ---**
    Okay, let's go for a comment
    that's deeply moving! Here we go!
**[02:10] ---**
    Ah… Um… Well…
**[02:14] ---**
    I can't think of anything so suddenly,
    so can we do this later?
**[02:23] ---**
    *Since Naruto's getting married…*
**[03:56] ---**
    *Naruto's Wedding*
    
**[04:01] ---**
    Naruto, Hinata…
**[04:04] ---**
    Naruto! Hinata!
**[04:07] ---**
    Congratulations on your nuptials…
**[04:10] ---**
    That's too stiff!
**[04:12] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[04:13] ---**
    Big trouble!
**[04:16] ---**
    Look at what they did
    to the memorial statue!
**[04:18] ---**
    THE THIRD HOKAGE
    
    Look at what they did
    to the memorial statue!
**[04:19] ---**
    What do we do?
**[04:20] ---**
    Now, Sadoru Sensei,
    you just became an instructor recently,
**[04:24] ---**
    so I understand how upsetting this is.
**[04:26] ---**
    But this sort of thing is quite minor…
**[04:30] ---**
    Hey!
**[04:34] ---**
    Tsukune, Sansho, Mibuna!
**[04:36] ---**
    So, this is your doing, after all.
**[04:39] ---**
    How'd you know we were here?
**[04:41] ---**
    I know exactly what you're thinking.
**[04:44] ---**
    We were just playing hide-and-seek!
**[04:46] ---**
    Don't go off and treat us like criminals!
**[04:48] ---**
    Don't lie!
**[04:50] ---**
    I bet you enjoyed seeing Sadoru Sensei
    having a hard time, didn't you?
**[04:53] ---**
    No!
**[04:55] ---**
    You don't even like, have any proof.
    So, stop jumping to conclusions!
**[04:57] ---**
    I see.
**[04:58] ---**
    So, you guys didn't do this graffiti…
**[05:01] ---**
    For a prank, it looked pretty cool,
    so I figured it was you guys…
**[05:05] ---**
    Hey, you've got a good eye!
**[05:07] ---**
    To tell you the truth,
    I'm really proud of it!
**[05:10] ---**
    Shh!
**[05:12] ---**
    Make sure you clean it up completely!
**[05:15] ---**
    – Yes, sir…
    – Yes, sir…
**[05:17] ---**
    You're amazing, Iruka Sensei!
**[05:19] ---**
    Compared to Naruto's antics,
    this is cute.
**[05:24] ---**
    Naruto?
**[05:26] ---**
    You mean, Naruto Uzumaki?
**[05:29] ---**
    Were you his teacher?
**[05:32] ---**
    Huh? Well, yes…
**[05:34] ---**
    – No way!
    – No way!
**[05:36] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki, the super-famous
    Naruto Uzumaki, right?
**[05:40] ---**
    He's on a completely different level!
**[05:41] ---**
    There's no way an ordinary teacher
**[05:43] ---**
    – like you taught him, Iruka Sensei!
    – Ordinary…teacher?
**[05:46] ---**
    You're just trying to inspire us…
**[05:48] ---**
    by saying that even
    Naruto Uzumaki was a bad kid,
**[05:50] ---**
    so us bad kids should
    try our best, right?
**[05:52] ---**
    Yeah, like, don't make up stories
    if you want to send us a message.
**[05:56] ---**
    I-I see…
**[05:58] ---**
    Well then…
**[05:59] ---**
    While you're at it, rake the yard
    and clean the toilets!
**[06:03] ---**
    – What?!
    – What?!
**[06:04] ---**
    – No fair!
    – No fair!
**[06:10] ---**
    *"I really did teach Naruto."*
**[06:13] ---**
    *Even if I said that,*
    *students now wouldn't believe me.*
**[06:19] ---**
    *Naruto is a super-hero to them.*
**[06:25] ---**
    Oh, there you are!
**[06:28] ---**
    Iruka Sensei, do you have a minute?
**[06:31] ---**
    Yes?
**[06:32] ---**
    Vice-principal? Me?!
**[06:35] ---**
    You've been here a long time.
**[06:38] ---**
    And you're popular
    among your colleagues.
**[06:41] ---**
    You would be perfect person
    for the job.
**[06:48] ---**
    15 16 17 18
    
**[06:51] ---**
    TEAM 5
    TEAM 6
    
**[06:53] ---**
    Lord Kakashi,
    I've brought you some tea.
**[06:55] ---**
    Can you drop the "lord"?
**[06:58] ---**
    Is anything the matter, sir?
**[07:00] ---**
    You seem quite perturbed.
**[07:02] ---**
    And don't be overly formal.
**[07:05] ---**
    I'm not used to it.
**[07:08] ---**
    Anyway, the date for Naruto and
    Hinata's wedding is set, right?
**[07:12] ---**
    I'm thinking of a way for
    everyone to be able to attend.
**[07:16] ---**
    I see…
**[07:18] ---**
    If everyone attends the reception,
**[07:20] ---**
    we won't be able to fulfill
    any missions on that day…
**[07:22] ---**
    let alone handle any emergencies.
**[07:27] ---**
    Their close circle of friends are
    all significant jonin now, right?
**[07:32] ---**
    It would be a problem if
    all of them are unavailable.
**[07:36] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
**[07:36] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Naruto, it's been awhile.
**[07:39] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    I hear you're getting married—
**[07:41] ---**
    That's right!
**[07:42] ---**
    The previous Hokage, Lady Tsunade,
**[07:43] ---**
    had a rule in case
    of emergencies like this.
**[07:47] ---**
    Huh?!
**[07:49] ---**
    "One: when there is
    a marriage among shinobi,
**[07:52] ---**
    the gift that each shinobi
    will present will be assessed
**[07:55] ---**
    to determine who shall attend,"
    it seems…
**[07:58] ---**
    Huh?! What's up with that?
    It's got to be a joke.
**[08:01] ---**
    It seems like a joke,
    but it's right here.
**[08:04] ---**
    You're right!
**[08:05] ---**
    But this is like eliminating people
    by the size of their gift.
**[08:12] ---**
    Perhaps so, but it's the rule.
**[08:16] ---**
    No one would agree to something
**[08:18] ---**
    that measures friendship
    like that.
**[08:20] ---**
    I'll be called
    the worst Hokage in history.
**[08:23] ---**
    I understand how you feel,
**[08:26] ---**
    but it's more important
    to fulfill the responsibility
**[08:28] ---**
    that's right before you,
    as the Hokage.
**[08:32] ---**
    Welcome!
**[08:33] ---**
    I'll have ramen.
**[08:34] ---**
    Make mine a super-size ramen!
**[08:37] ---**
    Oh! Iruka Sensei!
**[08:40] ---**
    Did you come up with
    a congratulatory message?
**[08:42] ---**
    Uh no, sorry, I forgot…
**[08:47] ---**
    An advancement exam?!
**[08:49] ---**
    One of the board officials recommended
    I take it to become vice-principal.
**[08:53] ---**
    *W-Wh…? Why only Iruka Sensei?*
**[08:56] ---**
    *Does that mean*
    *I'm not among the candidates?!*
**[08:59] ---**
    *No, that's not right!*
**[09:01] ---**
    What's the matter, Ebisu Sensei?
**[09:03] ---**
    N-No, nothing's the matter.
**[09:05] ---**
    But this is a great opportunity!
**[09:08] ---**
    Oh?
**[09:09] ---**
    His mentor is being promoted…
**[09:11] ---**
    This will make Naruto's wedding
    even more auspicious.
**[09:14] ---**
    Then we'll have to start
    calling you Vice-Principal Iruka.
**[09:18] ---**
    Oh, please stop.
**[09:20] ---**
    I haven't even decided
    if I'll take the test or not.
**[09:23] ---**
    Huh?!
**[09:24] ---**
    You're not going to pass up
    a chance like this, are you?!
**[09:27] ---**
    Ebisu Sensei, you look sorta glad.
**[09:30] ---**
    I admit I'm grateful for the chance
    to be promoted. Besides…
**[09:35] ---**
    *Naruto Uzumaki, the super-famous*
    *Naruto Uzumaki, right?*
**[09:37] ---**
    *There's no way an ordinary teacher*
    *like you taught him, Iruka Sensei!*
**[09:41] ---**
    I know I should strive to get ahead.
**[09:44] ---**
    But there's a part of me that wants
    to continue teaching kids one on one.
**[09:51] ---**
    Of course!
**[09:53] ---**
    You shine in the classroom,
    Iruka Sensei. You really do!
**[09:57] ---**
    I still think you seem a little too happy…
**[10:00] ---**
    What's up?
**[10:07] ---**
    Lord Kakashi…
**[10:08] ---**
    Could you drop the "lord" part?
**[10:11] ---**
    How long have you been there?
    I didn't notice you at all.
**[10:14] ---**
    Well, you were all going on
    about Iruka Sensei…
**[10:17] ---**
    So, I didn't want to interfere.
**[10:19] ---**
    Lord Kakashi…
**[10:20] ---**
    I mean, Kakashi…
**[10:22] ---**
    Is something going on
    with you as well?
**[10:24] ---**
    Oh, no…
**[10:25] ---**
    But what's going on with you,
    Iruka Sensei?
**[10:27] ---**
    He was asked to take
    the advancement exam for vice-principal!
**[10:31] ---**
    Vice-principal?
**[10:32] ---**
    Oh yeah, the position is open.
**[10:35] ---**
    And I'm not sure if
    I should take it or not.
**[10:40] ---**
    You? Take the advancement exam?
**[10:43] ---**
    Now that would be difficult.
**[10:46] ---**
    – Huh?
    – What?!
**[10:48] ---**
    Well… I'd better get back to work.
**[10:51] ---**
    Thanks!
**[10:53] ---**
    Thanks for coming—
**[10:54] ---**
    Hey, Ayame.
**[10:56] ---**
    Did you take Lord Kakashi's order?
**[10:58] ---**
    What?
**[10:58] ---**
    Huh?! When did he—?!
**[11:01] ---**
    What's going on here?
**[11:04] ---**
    Was he talking about Iruka Sensei
    taking the advancement exam?
**[11:07] ---**
    Why'd he say it would "be difficult"
    for Iruka Sensei?
**[11:10] ---**
    I got it!
**[11:13] ---**
    As the Hokage, Lord Kakashi
    doesn't think
**[11:15] ---**
    Iruka Sensei is suitable to be
    the vice-principal!
**[11:19] ---**
    – Whaa—?!
    – Whaa—?!
**[11:20] ---**
    That's what he meant.
**[11:23] ---**
    The advancement exam?
**[11:24] ---**
    Iruka Sensei?
**[11:26] ---**
    Even if he takes it,
**[11:27] ---**
    with Iruka's Sensei's skills
    and experience,
**[11:29] ---**
    getting the promotion
    would be difficult.
**[11:34] ---**
    Now, now I didn't say it!
**[11:36] ---**
    I'm just surmising what
    Lord Hokage meant.
**[11:40] ---**
    For him to say that taking
    the exam would be difficult…
**[11:45] ---**
    It's like saying he knows
    the outcome
**[11:47] ---**
    before Iruka Sensei
    even takes the exam, hey…
**[11:50] ---**
    You gonna stand for that, Iruka Sensei?
**[11:52] ---**
    You want to give Naruto something else
    to celebrate at his wedding, don't ya?
**[11:56] ---**
    Dad, don't egg him on like that.
**[11:58] ---**
    What're you saying?
    Earlier, even you were—!
**[12:00] ---**
    I'm taking it!
**[12:03] ---**
    I'm going to take the exam
    and I'm going to pass.
**[12:06] ---**
    It will be Naruto's biggest day
    in his life…
**[12:10] ---**
    and I'm going to present him
    with auspicious news!
**[12:12] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[12:13] ---**
    Well said!
**[12:14] ---**
    You're the man!
**[12:26] ---**
    All right!
**[12:32] ---**
    A prank like this is old news.
**[12:36] ---**
    But Naruto, who used
    to play tricks like this,
**[12:39] ---**
    became the village hero.
**[12:41] ---**
    Maybe there's a future
    "Naruto Uzumaki" among you.
**[12:46] ---**
    Now listen, anyone can become
    a hero like Naruto Uzumaki!
**[12:51] ---**
    So believe in yourself
    and do your best!
**[12:55] ---**
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
**[12:57] ---**
    *Not Naruto Uzumaki again?!*
**[13:03] ---**
    What's the matter?!
**[13:04] ---**
    Come on, put some more spirit into it!
**[13:10] ---**
    Sadoru Sensei,
    you just have to be confident and
**[13:12] ---**
    take on the students head on
    at times like this!
**[13:14] ---**
    – I'm sorry.
    – I'm sorry.
**[13:15] ---**
    We're very sorry.
**[13:17] ---**
    I'll make sure to
    teach them better
**[13:19] ---**
    so that this never
    happens again, so please…
**[13:30] ---**
    Hey, Tsukune…
**[13:32] ---**
    Damaging the statue is going too far.
**[13:35] ---**
    Iruka Sensei will really
    get mad this time.
**[13:38] ---**
    So what?
**[13:46] ---**
    I figured you were up
    to something like this.
**[13:49] ---**
    I told you, didn't I?
**[13:51] ---**
    I know exactly what you're thinking.
**[13:56] ---**
    I'll say this…
**[13:57] ---**
    you do things on such a small scale.
**[14:00] ---**
    Why, to Naruto, scrawling graffiti
**[14:03] ---**
    on the Hokage's Great Stone Face
    was nothing.
**[14:05] ---**
    He even took the Book of Seals and
**[14:07] ---**
    wreaked havoc in the village.
**[14:11] ---**
    So, Naruto Uzumaki really
    was your pupil?
**[14:14] ---**
    Shut up!
**[14:16] ---**
    Who cares about Naruto!
**[14:17] ---**
    I am me!
**[14:20] ---**
    Iruka Sensei did?
**[14:21] ---**
    Yeah.
**[14:23] ---**
    He's been gung-ho ever since.
**[14:25] ---**
    I keep hearing good things
    about him from everyone.
**[14:27] ---**
    He's gonna make it for sure!
**[14:30] ---**
    Ebisu Sensei, you're looking
    a little too depressed now.
**[14:36] ---**
    I'm going out to get a bite to eat.
**[14:37] ---**
    Ramen again?
**[14:39] ---**
    Eating ramen every day isn't healthy.
**[14:43] ---**
    Well, that's okay.
**[14:45] ---**
    You're really gonna do it?
**[14:47] ---**
    'Course!
**[14:48] ---**
    Lord Hokage is gone.
    Now's our only chance.
**[14:52] ---**
    I can pull off anything
    Naruto Uzumaki did, just as easily.
**[14:56] ---**
    Let's go!
**[14:58] ---**
    C-Count me out!
**[15:00] ---**
    Me too!
**[15:01] ---**
    Wimps…
**[15:04] ---**
    Good evening.
**[15:05] ---**
    Oh welcome, Lord Hokage!
**[15:08] ---**
    Look, could you please drop the "lord."
**[15:11] ---**
    Huh? What's wrong Ebisu Sensei?
    Why are you spaced out?
**[15:14] ---**
    We were talking about Iruka Sensei
    passing the advancement exam.
**[15:19] ---**
    Huh? Iruka Sensei plans
    to take the exam?
**[15:22] ---**
    Sure, thanks to you, Kakashi!
**[15:26] ---**
    Me? What did I do?
**[15:29] ---**
    Anyway…
**[15:31] ---**
    What a delicious smell!
**[15:33] ---**
    Is it ramen?
**[15:36] ---**
    Seems like they didn't
    order pot stickers, though.
**[15:39] ---**
    Is that what happened?
**[15:42] ---**
    I didn't mean it that way.
**[15:45] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[15:47] ---**
    Anyway, regarding
    the advancement exam, they say…
**[15:49] ---**
    Lord Kakashi!
**[15:50] ---**
    How many times do I have tell you
    to stop it with the "lord"?
**[15:53] ---**
    Never mind that! Bad news!
**[15:55] ---**
    The Book of Seals was stolen?!
**[15:57] ---**
    Yes. No one knows where it is,
**[16:01] ---**
    and all shinobi are
    now searching for it.
**[16:04] ---**
    *Don't tell me…*
**[16:06] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[16:12] ---**
    Sansho! Mibuna!
**[16:13] ---**
    Where is Tsukune?!
**[16:15] ---**
    We tried to stop him…
**[16:18] ---**
    *I knew it…*
**[16:27] ---**
    See?
**[16:29] ---**
    That was easy.
**[16:31] ---**
    Next, I'll use this and mess up
    the Great Stone Face.
**[16:35] ---**
    Stop!
**[16:37] ---**
    I knew I'd find you here.
**[16:40] ---**
    You planned to use a Shadow Clone
    from the Book of Seals
**[16:42] ---**
    and pull off a flashy prank, right?
**[16:45] ---**
    You wanna say that you know
    exactly what I'm thinking, right?
**[16:49] ---**
    No, I don't know
    what you're thinking.
**[16:53] ---**
    What am I doing?!
**[16:56] ---**
    I keep comparing students
    to the ones I had in the past.
**[16:59] ---**
    And I can't see into the heart…
**[17:01] ---**
    of the precious student
    that's standing right before me!
**[17:06] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[17:09] ---**
    I realize it now, Tsukune.
**[17:11] ---**
    You just wanted to
    be acknowledged, right?
**[17:16] ---**
    And I didn't see that…
**[17:17] ---**
    and kept bragging about
    an old student of mine.
**[17:20] ---**
    How long have I been
    a teacher anyway?
**[17:23] ---**
    I'm such a fool!
**[17:25] ---**
    I'm sorry!
**[17:27] ---**
    Please forgive me!
**[17:30] ---**
    Did you mean it?
**[17:32] ---**
    Huh?
**[17:33] ---**
    About what you said…
**[17:36] ---**
    *Anyone can become a hero*
    *like Naruto Uzumaki!*
**[17:39] ---**
    *So believe in yourself*
    *and do your best!*
**[17:44] ---**
    Yeah. Of course!
**[17:48] ---**
    'Kay then…
**[17:49] ---**
    I'll try a little bit harder.
**[17:56] ---**
    SEALED
    
    I'm very sorry about what my student did.
**[17:59] ---**
    I take full responsibility.
**[18:01] ---**
    Oh, yeah?
**[18:02] ---**
    Then check and confirm
    the inside for me.
**[18:06] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:08] ---**
    "To me, love is life.
    Love is everything, you see?!"
**[18:13] ---**
    MAKE-OUT PARADISE
    
    There's no way
    I'd place the real thing
**[18:15] ---**
    where it can be stolen easily.
**[18:19] ---**
    True…
**[18:20] ---**
    By the way, Iruka Sensei…
**[18:22] ---**
    About the advancement exam…
**[18:24] ---**
    You were right, Kakashi.
**[18:27] ---**
    That position is far more than
    I can handle right now.
**[18:29] ---**
    Huh?!
**[18:30] ---**
    No, no… When I said
    it was going to be difficult,
**[18:34] ---**
    I meant that
    the advancement exam
**[18:36] ---**
    is on the same day
    as Naruto's wedding.
**[18:39] ---**
    What?
**[18:40] ---**
    You are his mentor, Iruka Sensei…
**[18:42] ---**
    You can't miss his wedding, right?
**[18:45] ---**
    So, that got me thinking…
**[18:48] ---**
    I'm thinking of reserving another
    extra day for the advancement exam.
**[18:54] ---**
    I really want you to become
    the vice-principal, Iruka Sensei,
**[18:57] ---**
    and serve as a shining example
    to all of the Academy teachers.
**[18:59] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[19:01] ---**
    I'm not going to take
    the exam, after all.
**[19:04] ---**
    I got carried away about
    going to Naruto's reception
**[19:07] ---**
    as the newly promoted vice-principal
**[19:08] ---**
    and forgot about my student
    who was right before my eyes.
**[19:12] ---**
    I've failed as a teacher.
**[19:15] ---**
    I have no right to
    go celebrate with Naruto.
**[19:21] ---**
    First, I must take care
    of my current students
**[19:23] ---**
    and cherish the things right
    before me.
**[19:27] ---**
    Then and only then,
    can I properly congratulate Naruto.
**[19:31] ---**
    Cherish the things
    right before me, huh…
**[19:36] ---**
    *…it's more important to*
    *fulfill the responsibility*
**[19:39] ---**
    *that's right before you,*
    *as the Hokage.*
**[19:42] ---**
    You're right. I've decided too.
**[19:45] ---**
    Huh? What did you—?
**[19:50] ---**
    I asked you to assemble here today
**[19:52] ---**
    to relay something as
    your Sixth Hokage.
**[19:58] ---**
    Listen. I am giving you
    a secret mission
**[20:01] ---**
    in which you shall each prepare
    a congratulatory gift
**[20:04] ---**
    for Naruto and Hinata's wedding.
**[20:06] ---**
    Have it ready and report back
    one week before the reception.
**[20:13] ---**
    A wedding gift?
**[20:14] ---**
    That's great!
**[20:16] ---**
    – He has it all planned.
    – What a drag.
**[20:17] ---**
    Leave it to Lord Hokage!
**[20:20] ---**
    That is all.
**[20:23] ---**
    Kakashi, what is going on?
**[20:27] ---**
    We're going to assess each gift
    and give it a ranking to determine
**[20:31] ---**
    who will attend the wedding reception
**[20:33] ---**
    and who will be placed on duty
    for that day's missions.
**[20:36] ---**
    In other words, we're going to sift
    and screen through the gifts.
**[20:39] ---**
    But that's like measuring
    their friendship?!
**[20:45] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:46] ---**
    But what's most important is
    what's right before me, right?
**[20:51] ---**
    I'm prepared to be called
    the worst Hokage in history.
**[20:55] ---**
    "The worst Hokage in history"?
**[20:58] ---**
    It's all thanks to you, Iruka Sensei!
**[21:02] ---**
    Wha—?
**[21:03] ---**
    What?!
**[21:05] ---**
    31 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE WEDDING
    
**[22:39] ---**
    Guy Sensei, what makes
    a good wedding gift?
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    Since this is for Naruto…
    Naruto..to…to…
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    Toilet paper…pa!
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    Pa? Pa..pa…
    Oh, passion fruits?
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Ts…Ts…Tsunade's big chest, duh!
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Duh? Duh…duh…dumb bells!
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

**[01:34] ---**
    A mission to find
    a wedding present, huh?
**[01:37] ---**
    The Hokage is giving us a wonderful
    opportunity to find a great gift…
**[01:41] ---**
    …that personifies our friendship.
**[01:44] ---**
    That's right, we've never had
    a wedding celebration like this.
**[01:47] ---**
    – Well, they are the first
    – Hey, Shino! Cut it out!
**[01:49] ---**
    – among all our friends
    – I didn't say anything until now,
**[01:50] ---**
    – to get married.
    – but I've had enough of
**[01:52] ---**
    – We gotta do our best to find
    – your insect antics!
**[01:53] ---**
    – something they'll both like.
    – Hey, Akamaru!
**[01:55] ---**
    Me too! I'm getting fired up!
**[01:58] ---**
    I'm gonna make sure
    they definitely love my gift!
**[02:01] ---**
    Do you know what
    you're getting already, Lee?
**[02:03] ---**
    I haven't a clue.
**[02:05] ---**
    Huh?!
**[02:05] ---**
    However! If I put myself
    in Naruto's shoes
**[02:08] ---**
    and think about how he feels,
    I know it'll come to me naturally.
**[02:11] ---**
    I won't lose to anyone!
**[02:16] ---**
    Wake up, Akamaru!
**[02:20] ---**
    Usually, you don't compete
    with wedding gifts
**[02:23] ---**
    to see who wins or loses…
**[02:26] ---**
    Well then…
**[02:28] ---**
    Let's give it our all!
**[02:30] ---**
    This is for Hinata.
**[02:31] ---**
    Let's all put
    our best effort into this.
**[02:33] ---**
    There's no need to
    get so worked up.
**[02:35] ---**
    The reason is, if you just
    let it come naturally to you,
**[02:37] ---**
    you'll think of something.
**[02:39] ---**
    It seems everyone got
    really fired up about this.
**[02:42] ---**
    I can't think of anything.
**[02:44] ---**
    What about you, Choji?
**[02:45] ---**
    I have a pretty good idea.
**[02:48] ---**
    Damn it… What a drag.

**[03:20] ---**
    Hello!
**[03:21] ---**
    WELCOME
    
    Oh, it's Lee!
**[03:24] ---**
    I'll have an order of the ramen
    Naruto orders most often!
**[03:27] ---**
    Naruto's favorite ramen?
**[03:30] ---**
    Let's see…
**[03:31] ---**
    That's so obvious! It's our large
    miso and char siu ramen.
**[03:34] ---**
    – Oh, yeah that's right!
    – I see!
**[03:36] ---**
    But why the sudden curiosity?
**[03:37] ---**
    If I'm to understand
    Naruto's feelings,
**[03:40] ---**
    I figured I should first try
    the things he likes to eat.
**[03:43] ---**
    I don't get it but…
    anyways, take a seat.
**[03:47] ---**
    Okay!
**[03:49] ---**
    Idiot…idiot…
**[03:53] ---**
    How is it?
**[03:57] ---**
    It's delicious!
    Light, yet rich, but not too heavy.
**[04:00] ---**
    It has volume and punch,
    and its impact is so great,
**[04:02] ---**
    you want to slurp it down
    all at once!
**[04:03] ---**
    So…do you know how Naruto feels
    a little more now?
**[04:08] ---**
    I understand why he always
    orders this ramen!
**[04:11] ---**
    But other than that, no.
**[04:13] ---**
    I guess not.
**[04:14] ---**
    If you could tell how a guy feels
    just by eating ramen,
**[04:17] ---**
    life wouldn't be so hard.
**[04:19] ---**
    Oh!
**[04:20] ---**
    Iruka Sensei,
    you were Naruto's teacher.
**[04:22] ---**
    You must know.
**[04:25] ---**
    Iruka Sensei?!
**[04:26] ---**
    I'm sorry, I was deep in thought
    and didn't notice you!
**[04:29] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[04:31] ---**
    You're Lee, right?
    Guy Sensei's student.
**[04:34] ---**
    Yes! You were Naruto's teacher…
    So you must know how Naruto thinks.
**[04:41] ---**
    Please tell me about him!
**[04:42] ---**
    Well, I was his teacher
    a long time ago.
**[04:45] ---**
    And he's become
    so praiseworthy now…
**[04:48] ---**
    I only see him once in a while now…
**[04:51] ---**
    I see…
**[04:53] ---**
    But why are you trying to
    understand Naruto's feelings, Lee?
**[04:56] ---**
    For his wedding gift.
**[04:58] ---**
    In order to find
    something he'll like,
**[05:01] ---**
    I thought I should first
    understand his feelings.
**[05:05] ---**
    I see, so that's it.
**[05:08] ---**
    In any case,
**[05:09] ---**
    in order to convey my intense
    regard for my friend Naruto,
**[05:12] ---**
    I'm going to put
    my entire being into
**[05:13] ---**
    THE BEST WEDDING GIFT!
    
    finding the best
    wedding gift for him!
**[05:16] ---**
    Well then, please excuse me,
    Iruka Sensei!
**[05:22] ---**
    He's exactly like Guy Sensei.
**[05:24] ---**
    I'm so sorry it was so loud!
**[05:26] ---**
    Oh no. In fact, I'm happy that
    Naruto has a friend like him.
**[05:31] ---**
    Found ya, Iruka Sensei!
**[05:33] ---**
    You didn't record your message yet!
**[05:36] ---**
    That's right…
    Can you wait a little longer?
**[05:39] ---**
    Not again…man.
**[05:41] ---**

    NIKO NIKO DUMBBELL FAMILY
    
**[05:51] ---**
    DUMBBELL FITNESS CLUB
    NOW OPEN
    
**[05:55] ---**
    Yes!
**[05:56] ---**
    How about dumbbells?!
**[05:59] ---**
    *Naruto! Hinata!*
**[06:01] ---**
    *Congratulations on your marriage!*
**[06:03] ---**
    *Please use these dumbbells*
    *and find everlasting happiness…*
**[06:07] ---**
    No, no, no, no, no!
    Stop!
**[06:08] ---**
    Dumbbells are definitely useful.
**[06:11] ---**
    Its heaviness is surely symbolic of
**[06:12] ---**
    the solidity and depth
    of my friendship…
**[06:14] ---**
    And more importantly,
    they can make you stronger.
**[06:16] ---**
    Nothing else could
    better symbolize our friendship.
**[06:20] ---**
    But…
**[06:21] ---**
    It's possible Naruto will get
    so hooked on muscle training
**[06:23] ---**
    that he'll totally ignore Hinata…
**[06:27] ---**
    Even if Naruto and I
    have a special bond,
**[06:30] ---**
    UNOFFICIAL LEAF VILLAGE MASCOT
    KONORIN
    
    giving him dumbbells
    might meet with some resistance.
**[06:34] ---**
    I must think of something else!
**[06:38] ---**
    WEDDING GIFT WEDDING GIFT WEDDING GIFT
    WEDDING GIFT WEDDING GIFT WEDDING GIFT
    
**[06:40] ---**
    Ahh! I can't think of anything!
**[06:43] ---**
    During times like this—!
**[06:48] ---**
    *What gift would make*
    *Naruto and Hinata happy?*
**[06:52] ---**
    *I guess it would be something*
    *that reminds them of me.*
**[06:55] ---**
    *Now if a kunai like this was*
    *specially ordered and made cute…*
**[07:04] ---**
    Marriage, huh?
    How nice…!
**[07:08] ---**
    *Hold on a sec!*
**[07:09] ---**
    *One is in love with her dream man*
**[07:11] ---**
    *and getting married,*
    *happily ever after.*
**[07:12] ---**
    *While I don't even*
    *have a boyfriend,*
**[07:14] ---**
    *and train every day from*
    *morning until night…*
**[07:16] ---**
    *This would be…*
**[07:18] ---**
    *Kunai again?*
**[07:19] ---**
    *But it's Tenten, after all…*
**[07:21] ---**
    *When you think of Tenten,*
    *you think kunai…*
**[07:23] ---**
    *Maybe I should think of*
    *something else…*
**[07:26] ---**
    *Get something*
    *that doesn't kill people,*
**[07:28] ---**
    *within the set budget*
**[07:30] ---**
    – *that captures a maiden's heart…*
    – Tenten!
**[07:32] ---**
    – I need to ask you something!
    – That voice…
**[07:37] ---**
    Idiot…idiot.
**[07:38] ---**
    Calm down when you
    ask people something.
**[07:41] ---**
    I'm sorry.
**[07:43] ---**
    I just couldn't do it by myself.
**[07:45] ---**
    I had no choice but to ask for
    your help and came looking for you…
**[07:49] ---**
    But…I guess you're in a bind too.
**[07:52] ---**
    Uh-huh…
**[07:53] ---**
    Sending the usual gift
    won't convey our feelings…
**[07:57] ---**
    And yet, something that's more
    like me may not make them happy…
**[08:02] ---**
    A wedding gift…
    is more complicated than I thought.
**[08:08] ---**
    What would Neji do?
**[08:11] ---**
    We must not do that!
    We must go and investigate!
**[08:14] ---**
    Investigate?
**[08:16] ---**
    Yes!
**[08:17] ---**
    NINJA TOOLS MANTENDO
    
    I get it.
    Rather than thinking alone,
**[08:21] ---**
    NINJA TOOLS MANTENDO
    
    looking at actual items can give us
    more ideas and variations.
**[08:26] ---**
    There are so many items,
**[08:28] ---**
    I'm sure we'll find something
    suitable that fits us,
**[08:31] ---**
    while also making
    Naruto and Hinata happy!
**[08:33] ---**
    You're right! For example…
**[08:36] ---**
    How about a sword like this?
**[08:39] ---**
    Umm…
**[08:40] ---**
    It looks expensive,
**[08:43] ---**
    but it doesn't have any connection
    to a wedding, does it?
**[08:46] ---**
    No…
**[08:56] ---**
    LONG LIFE
    
    They can use it for
    their first joint effort.
**[08:58] ---**
    LONG LIFE
    
    
    To cut the cake…that's all?
**[09:00] ---**
    Not good?
**[09:02] ---**
    Isn't a cake-cutter pretty low
    on the usefulness meter?
**[09:06] ---**
    Then how about…
**[09:09] ---**
    …this?
**[09:09] ---**
    Tonfa?
**[09:11] ---**
    It's totally you,
    since you're a taijutsu specialist…
**[09:15] ---**
    That has no connection
    with a wedding either.
**[09:19] ---**
    No…
**[09:21] ---**
    I figured it would be useful
    for everyday married life,
**[09:24] ---**
    since they'll have
    more laundry to do…
**[09:26] ---**
    For hanging laundry?!
**[09:28] ---**
    Still, I don't think Naruto
    will be too pleased with this…
**[09:32] ---**
    Maybe you should think of
    something a bit less strange.
**[09:36] ---**
    You're lucky, Tenten.
**[09:38] ---**
    All you have to do…
**[09:39] ---**
    …is send this thing
    that you always use.
**[09:42] ---**
    Huh? Would getting kunai
    make them happy?
**[09:45] ---**
    It's not necessary at all
    in married life.
**[09:48] ---**
    No! You can make full use of it!
**[09:53] ---**
    It's perfect for newlyweds
**[09:55] ---**
    FRIED PORK CUTLET
    
    who can't decide
    what to make for dinner!
**[09:57] ---**
    FRIED PORK CUTLET
    
    
    Is that any way to use a kunai?!
**[10:00] ---**
    Idiot…idiot.
**[10:01] ---**
    We didn't find a single thing.
**[10:05] ---**
    Let's try hard again tomorrow.
**[10:11] ---**
    I can't think of a single thing.
**[10:15] ---**
    *Lee…*
    *Hey, Lee!*
**[10:20] ---**
    Neji!
**[10:22] ---**
    *When you get hooked on one thing,*
**[10:23] ---**
    *you even struggle with it*
    *in your dreams…*
**[10:25] ---**
    *That's so like you, Lee.*
**[10:27] ---**
    Neji… Is that really you, Neji?
**[10:30] ---**
    *You were groaning pretty loud.*
**[10:32] ---**
    I couldn't find a gift for
    Naruto and Hinata's wedding.
**[10:35] ---**
    I spent the entire day looking,
**[10:38] ---**
    but I've used up
    all my ideas and energy…
**[10:41] ---**
    What about you, Neji?
**[10:43] ---**
    *I had one thing I had to tell you…*
**[10:47] ---**
    Neji, I'm…
**[10:49] ---**
    *I know.*
**[10:50] ---**
    *Say no more.*
**[10:52] ---**
    *Lee, remember this carefully…*
**[10:54] ---**
    *Physical strength over endurance!*
**[10:57] ---**
    *Physical strength over endurance!*
**[10:59] ---**
    Physical strength over endurance?
**[11:01] ---**
    *And don't forget…Hyuga.*
**[11:03] ---**
    What? H-Hey wait, Neji!
**[11:05] ---**
    I thought you appeared
    because I was
**[11:08] ---**
    in such a dilemma
    about a wedding gift
**[11:10] ---**
    and you wanted to give me advice!
**[11:12] ---**
    Oh…
**[11:14] ---**
    Neji!
**[11:15] ---**
    Neji?!
**[11:19] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    
**[11:20] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Naruto, Hinata,
    congratulations on your marriage.
**[11:24] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Naruto, who would have expected
    a bad little kid
**[11:26] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    would become such a great man?
**[11:28] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Hinata, please take care of Naruto.
**[11:32] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    I think that's it!
**[11:34] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Okay!
**[11:35] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    It's perfect!
**[11:37] ---**
    I can just see Big Brother Naruto's
    eyes welling up with tears!
**[11:40] ---**
    Okay, I'm off to edit this!
    I can't wait!
**[11:44] ---**
    Oh, Lee!
**[11:45] ---**
    H-Hello, Iruka Sensei…
**[11:48] ---**
    What happened to your face?!
**[11:50] ---**
    I can't decide on a gift
    for Naruto's wedding…
**[11:54] ---**
    On top of that, an old friend
    appeared in my dream
**[11:56] ---**
    and gave me advice that
    doesn't make any sense at all and…
**[11:59] ---**
    …I couldn't sleep
    thinking about it.
**[12:00] ---**
    *2765 sheep, 2766 sheep,*
    *2767 Neji, 2768—?*
**[12:09] ---**
    *Neji, you jerk!*
**[12:11] ---**
    Oh, that sounds terrible…
**[12:12] ---**
    At this rate,
    I'll never be able to convey
**[12:15] ---**
    the depth of my friendship
    to Naruto!
**[12:17] ---**
    There, there…
    Don't take it so seriously.
**[12:20] ---**
    UNOFFICIAL LEAF VILLAGE MASCOT
    KONORIN
    
    I'm sure it's a big struggle
    for you all…
**[12:24] ---**
    But I'm very happy.
**[12:25] ---**
    Happy? Why?
**[12:28] ---**
    I'm happy to know that
    a student I taught
**[12:31] ---**
    has a friend who will go to
    such great lengths.
**[12:35] ---**
    Although, it may sound like
**[12:37] ---**
    I'm just trying to
    make you feel better…
**[12:39] ---**
    Oh, no such thing…
**[12:41] ---**
    Actually,
    I've never had a chance
**[12:44] ---**
    to talk like this
    to a friend of Naruto's.
**[12:47] ---**
    Thanks to his upcoming wedding,
**[12:49] ---**
    I got to talk to you
    and the others,
**[12:51] ---**
    and you've shown me a valuable side
    of Naruto I never knew.
**[12:57] ---**
    I'm grateful for that.
**[12:59] ---**
    Now that I think about it,
    since he graduated,
**[13:02] ---**
    you guys know much more
    about Naruto than I do.
**[13:06] ---**
    Is that so?!
**[13:08] ---**
    Huh?
**[13:09] ---**
    Why so shocked?
**[13:11] ---**
    I thought I could ask for your help
**[13:13] ---**
    HA HA HA HA HA
    
    with ideas for
    Naruto's wedding gift.
**[13:16] ---**
    HA HA HA HA HA
    
    
    Sorry, I'm no help.
**[13:20] ---**
    But considering the effort
    you're putting into finding a gift,
**[13:25] ---**
    I know Naruto will be happy,
    whatever you choose.
**[13:28] ---**
    Do you think so?
**[13:29] ---**
    In fact, if he dares to complain,
    as his teacher,
**[13:32] ---**
    I'll knock some sense into him
    all over again!
**[13:34] ---**
    Did I sound pompous saying that?
**[13:36] ---**
    As his teacher…knock some sense…
    all over again…
**[13:39] ---**
    That's it!
**[13:40] ---**
    Huh? What?
**[13:43] ---**
    I had forgotten
    something very valuable!
**[13:46] ---**
    Iruka Sensei, thank you!
**[13:49] ---**
    Well then…
**[13:51] ---**
    What was that?!
**[13:56] ---**
    So you've come, Lee!
**[13:58] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[14:00] ---**
    I figured it would be around now.
**[14:02] ---**
    Judging from your expression,
    you're still in a dilemma, eh?
**[14:07] ---**
    What? How can you tell?
**[14:09] ---**
    One look at you and I can tell if
    you've been training all night
**[14:12] ---**
    because something's bothering you.
**[14:15] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[14:16] ---**
    And let me guess…your worries
    have to do with the wedding gift.
**[14:21] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:22] ---**
    G-Guy Sensei!
**[14:24] ---**
    Can you read my heart?!
**[14:26] ---**
    How long have we been together
    in the springtime of our youth?
**[14:30] ---**
    Guy Sensei!
**[14:31] ---**
    I can't even decide what to give
    Naruto for his wedding gift…
**[14:34] ---**
    I'm still only half a shinobi!
**[14:37] ---**
    Please knock some sense into me!
**[14:39] ---**
    Well said, Lee!
**[14:41] ---**
    Let's search together
    for a wedding gift!
**[14:44] ---**
    – Guy Sensei!
    – Lee!
**[14:46] ---**
    – Guy Sensei!
    – Lee!
**[14:48] ---**
    – Lee!
    – Guy Sensei!
**[14:51] ---**
    Let's set up some rules before
    choosing a wedding gift.
**[14:53] ---**
    HOT-BLOODED
    
    First, it can't be
    something common.
**[14:56] ---**
    HOT-BLOODED
    
    But it mustn't be
    too unconventional.
**[14:59] ---**
    Yes, we figured out that much.
**[15:02] ---**
    It's from that point
    that we got stuck.
**[15:05] ---**
    And…the wedding gift should be one
    that leaves a lasting impression,
**[15:08] ---**
    and conveys friendship, effort,
    and triumph in choosing it.
**[15:11] ---**
    So what would be a gift
    that personifies me…
**[15:13] ---**
    and the hot springtime of youth—
**[15:15] ---**
    …what would that be?
**[15:18] ---**
    If it does exist, it would…
**[15:20] ---**
    definitely include wearing
    a fashionable bodysuit!
**[15:24] ---**
    Huh?! Why a bodysuit?
**[15:26] ---**
    Yes! The hot spring of youth
    means sweat and tears!
**[15:29] ---**
    Can sweat and tears
    be given as gifts?!
**[15:32] ---**
    – No, of course not!
    – Just a minute, Lee!
**[15:34] ---**
    In the first place,
    can man live on will power alone?!
**[15:37] ---**
    Can he overcome the dangers of
    divorce with only patience?!
**[15:41] ---**
    W-Wait, Sensei…
    You're going off the subject…
**[15:43] ---**
    I've been thinking the same thing!
**[15:45] ---**
    Should curry be medium-hot?
    Or super-spicy?!
**[15:47] ---**
    Aw man! We're on totally
    different wave lengths!
**[15:49] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    All right!
    I'm going to do a handstand
**[15:51] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    and walk around the village
    5,000 times!
**[15:52] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    
    Then I'll go 5,200 times!
**[15:53] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    
    Fine, then I'll go 5,300 times!
**[15:55] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    – 5,400 times!
    – 5,500 times!
**[15:57] ---**
    A CHALLENGE
    
    
    Stop it!
**[16:01] ---**
    It's true.
    We've gone way off the subject.
**[16:04] ---**
    So, let's just go back
    to the beginning.
**[16:05] ---**
    And go over the basics once more.
**[16:07] ---**
    Basics?
**[16:09] ---**
    Yes.
**[16:10] ---**
    First of all,
    what is a wedding ceremony?
**[16:13] ---**
    Th-That's a very
    philosophical question…
**[16:16] ---**
    Uh, is that really
    where we're starting?
**[16:19] ---**
    Then let me ask you this?
**[16:20] ---**
    What is absolutely necessary
    for a wedding ceremony?
**[16:23] ---**
    Wouldn't that be…love?
**[16:26] ---**
    You are a poet.
**[16:27] ---**
    However, Lee…
**[16:28] ---**
    I think it's the bride and groom!
**[16:31] ---**
    Oh! Y-Yes, there's no wedding
    without a bride and groom!
**[16:33] ---**
    Right?
**[16:34] ---**
    A wedding ceremony
    without a bride and groom
**[16:37] ---**
    is not a wedding ceremony!
**[16:39] ---**
    It's just a ceremony!
**[16:42] ---**
    And by ceremony,
    who knows what kind of ceremony!
**[16:45] ---**
    How blind I am!
**[16:46] ---**
    Guy Sensei,
    you have the ability to see
**[16:48] ---**
    what something is
    beneath the surface!
**[16:51] ---**
    You are amazing!
**[16:52] ---**
    You don't need to go overboard…
**[16:53] ---**
    You have always been my role model…
**[16:57] ---**
    – My everlasting hero!
    – No one's paying any attention.
**[16:59] ---**
    So now, we can think about
    what kind of gift
**[17:03] ---**
    would please
    a bride and groom, right?
**[17:06] ---**
    Exactly!
**[17:07] ---**
    I'm starting to get a bad feeling
    about this…
**[17:09] ---**
    All right!
    I'll be the groom.
**[17:11] ---**
    Lee, you are the bride!
**[17:12] ---**
    Yes, Guy Sensei!
**[17:14] ---**
    I knew it…
**[17:16] ---**
    Why do I have to play the baby?
**[17:17] ---**
    Not this again?
**[17:20] ---**
    DUMPLINGS
    
    Hi…
**[17:21] ---**
    I'm home.
**[17:23] ---**
    What time do you think it is?!
**[17:30] ---**
    It's the new spring fashions!
**[17:31] ---**
    – Move!
    – How cute!
**[17:32] ---**
    – That's mine!
    – She took it!
**[17:34] ---**
    Give it back!
**[17:35] ---**
    How dare you!
**[17:37] ---**
    Seventh Gate of Shock! Open!
**[17:45] ---**
    – Damn it,
    – Well, Lee?
**[17:46] ---**
    – what are you making me do?
    – Is something forming in your mind?
**[17:48] ---**
    I think I'm almost there…
**[17:51] ---**
    But after that, it's still far off…
**[17:54] ---**
    Well, never mind.
**[17:55] ---**
    You won't get an answer
    if you think too deeply.
**[17:58] ---**
    If Neji were here,
    he wouldn't even speak to you.
**[18:02] ---**
    No, but Neji would,
    if it's for Hinata's sake.
**[18:05] ---**
    The husband's female coworker
    appears out of nowhere
**[18:08] ---**
    to threaten
    their peaceful family life.
**[18:10] ---**
    Neji would show up
    to take on that perfect role!
**[18:12] ---**
    He would not!
**[18:14] ---**
    Besides, how can you misinterpret
    Neji like that?!
**[18:16] ---**
    Neji…
**[18:16] ---**
    Even if as a ghost,
    Neji would appear.
**[18:19] ---**
    Neji would appear?
**[18:22] ---**
    *Physical strength over endurance!*
**[18:24] ---**
    *Physical strength over endurance!*
**[18:28] ---**
    I see!
**[18:29] ---**
    I get it.
**[18:31] ---**
    So that's it, Neji.
**[18:34] ---**
    So that was meant for Hinata,
    not me.
**[18:38] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[18:39] ---**
    Physical strength is essential
    to protect a family!
**[18:42] ---**
    – The highest form of strength!
    – Absolutely!
**[18:45] ---**
    Cooking, washing, cleaning,
    raising the kids, shopping…
**[18:48] ---**
    The newlywed life is
    a nonstop test of muscles!
**[18:52] ---**
    Yes!
**[18:53] ---**
    The newlyweds
    must prepare for that!
**[18:58] ---**
    If that is so,
    there is only one answer!
**[19:02] ---**
    The truest gift from us should be…
**[19:04] ---**
    SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH
    
    – Dumbbells!
    – Dumbbells!
**[19:06] ---**
    SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH
    
    
    You've got to be kidding!
**[19:07] ---**
    – Guy Sensei…
    – Lee…
**[19:11] ---**
    – Guy Sensei!
    – Lee!
**[19:12] ---**
    Hah!
**[19:13] ---**
    Lee! You shall present
    the left dumbbell!
**[19:16] ---**
    Right!
**[19:17] ---**
    And I'll present the right!
**[19:19] ---**
    Let's go, Guy Sensei!
**[19:20] ---**
    Yes!
    Our wedding gift…
**[19:22] ---**
    will lose to no one!
**[19:27] ---**
    Okay, yeah… I'm gonna go with
    a custom-made kunai.
**[19:31] ---**
    I WILL RETURN TO
    RETRIEVE THIS LATER
    -MIGHT GUY
    
**[19:35] ---**
    What, you fool!
**[19:37] ---**
    ICHIRAKU
    
    Delivery?
**[19:38] ---**
    – I see…
    – It's gonna take some time.
**[19:39] ---**
    – You've decided on a wedding gift?
    – Is that okay?
**[19:42] ---**
    – Yes, and it's all thanks to
    – Okay, sorry.
**[19:43] ---**
    – Guy Sensei and you, Iruka Sensei.
    – Ayame is out right now.
**[19:46] ---**
    – It pays to have great mentors!
    – Is that okay? Thank you.
**[19:49] ---**
    – Well, if that's what you believe,
    – Thank you.
**[19:51] ---**
    – it makes me very happy.
    – What's your order?
**[19:53] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[19:54] ---**
    Naruto is blessed to have a mentor
    like you, Iruka Sensei.
**[19:56] ---**
    I'm sure he feels the same way!
**[19:58] ---**
    Oh, thank you.
**[19:59] ---**
    Okay, I'm going to take a look
    at some dumbbells.
**[20:03] ---**
    So if you'll excuse me!
**[20:07] ---**
    *Naruto's mentor, huh…?*
**[20:09] ---**
    *I should find out more about*
    *how Naruto's grown*
**[20:11] ---**
    *after leaving my care,*
**[20:13] ---**
    *and what kind of bonds*
    *he's made with friends.*
**[20:18] ---**
    *If I'm truly Naruto's mentor…*
**[20:21] ---**
    Oh! Iruka Sensei!
**[20:22] ---**
    We meet again!
**[20:23] ---**
    Konohamaru, just in time.
**[20:26] ---**
    That message I recorded last time…
    Can I do it over?
**[20:30] ---**
    Sure. But why?
**[20:33] ---**
    I want to find out
    more about Naruto,
**[20:36] ---**
    and send him a proper message…
**[20:38] ---**
    A message from his mentor…
**[20:40] ---**
    I'm back!
**[20:42] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[20:43] ---**
    What will you have?
**[20:44] ---**
    Um…
**[20:54] ---**
    I'll have the miso char siu.
    Make it a large.
**[20:58] ---**
    Coming right up.
**[20:59] ---**
    One large miso char siu ramen!
**[21:01] ---**
    All right!
**[21:02] ---**
    A large miso char siu ramen!
**[21:04] ---**
    Miso?!
**[21:05] ---**
    28 MORE DAYS
    UNTIL THE WEDDING
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I can't think of a wedding gift!
    Choji, do you wanna think with me?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Besides that,
    
    
**[22:46] ---**
    do you get to eat sweets everyday
    of your sweet married life?
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    Like sweet bean curry,
    chocolate hamburger steak,
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    honey fried rice, tempura cake,
    and vanilla flavored food pills…
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    sounds so good…

    UNOFFICIAL LEAF VILLAGE MASCOT KONORIN
    
    Hey Ino…you here?
**[00:08] ---**
    Yeah? What are you two
    doing together?
**[00:11] ---**
    Remember what Kakashi Sensei
    said last time?
**[00:15] ---**
    *I am giving you*
    *a secret mission*
**[00:17] ---**
    *in which you shall each prepare*
    *a congratulatory gift for*
**[00:19] ---**
    *Naruto and Hinata's wedding.*
**[00:21] ---**
    Of course!
**[00:23] ---**
    And? What about it?
**[00:24] ---**
    Oh… I thought we'd discuss
    what to get them.
**[00:27] ---**
    Oh, sorry!
**[00:29] ---**
    I've got something great
    picked out already
**[00:32] ---**
    and I'm about to go
    to the store.
**[00:34] ---**
    Which store?
    We'll go with you!
**[00:36] ---**
    No, you aren't!
**[00:37] ---**
    We can't get gifts from
    the same store.
**[00:39] ---**
    You two can think of
    something on your own!
**[00:41] ---**
    Later!
**[02:16] ---**
    What are we gonna do?
**[02:18] ---**
    Excuse me, Miss!
**[02:19] ---**
    I'd like to get some ice cream
    for dessert.
**[02:21] ---**
    What about you, Shikamaru?
**[02:22] ---**
    None for me.
**[02:23] ---**
    You sure can eat, though…
**[02:26] ---**
    Your appetite hasn't changed
    since you were a kid.
**[02:28] ---**
    But these days,
    I've started liking thigh meat,
**[02:31] ---**
    as well as meat that's really rare,
**[02:33] ---**
    so I think I'm going towards
    more grown-up tastes.
**[02:35] ---**
    So it's your taste buds?
**[02:37] ---**
    Anyway, getting back
    to the subject.
**[02:40] ---**
    Maybe yuzu sorbet would've
    been better than ice cream…
**[02:43] ---**
    No! I'm talking about the wedding gift
    for Naruto and Hinata!
**[02:47] ---**
    Oh that.
**[02:49] ---**
    Here's your ice cream.
**[02:50] ---**
    Oh, it's here!
**[02:52] ---**
    Judging from Ino's attitude,
    she'll be no help…
**[02:56] ---**
    If this keeps going,
**[02:57] ---**
    we might be the only ones
    who can't find a present.
**[03:01] ---**
    What do you mean by "we"?
**[03:04] ---**
    I've already picked
    something out.
**[03:08] ---**
    R-Really?!
    What are you getting?
**[03:11] ---**
    I'm thinking about
    giving them this.
**[03:17] ---**
    SATOCHO DINNER GIFT CERTIFICATE
    
    
    Hey, this is a—!
**[03:18] ---**
    SATOCHO DINNER GIFT CERTIFICATE
    
    Yup, a gift certificate
    for a dinner!
**[03:20] ---**
    And it's not just for
    an average diner!
**[03:23] ---**
    It's a gift certificate for
    a super-fancy teahouse
**[03:26] ---**
    that VIPs like
    the Hokage go to!
**[03:28] ---**
    Well, it is a special occasion…
**[03:31] ---**
    *What's going on?!*
**[03:32] ---**
    *This is Choji…*
**[03:34] ---**
    *And he chose the perfect gift!*
**[03:36] ---**
    *Having dinner in a restaurant*
    *you wouldn't normally be able to go to*
**[03:39] ---**
    *is special and really memorable*
    *for a couple!*
**[03:43] ---**
    *Not a lot of gifts would have*
    *as much impact!*
**[03:46] ---**
    *And even if this was*
    *for a special occasion…*
**[03:49] ---**
    *Choji's willing to part*
    *with a gift certificate*
**[03:51] ---**
    *to a super-fancy restaurant,*
    *just like that?*
**[03:53] ---**
    Miss, may I have another bowl
    of ice cream?
**[03:56] ---**
    *Are you really*
    *the Choji I know?!*
**[03:58] ---**
    *It's not just your taste buds*
    *that grew up.*
**[04:00] ---**
    *Have you completely*
    *become an adult?*
**[04:04] ---**
    What?
**[04:06] ---**
    Here's your ice cream.
**[04:07] ---**
    It just happened to be
    a three-for-one special.
**[04:12] ---**
    *Why is it three to a group?*
**[04:15] ---**
    *Usually a romantic dinner*
    *is for two.*
**[04:18] ---**
    *You'd think a fancy restaurant*
    *would be aware of that!*
**[04:20] ---**
    *Choji will tag along*
    *if it's three to a group!*
**[04:23] ---**
    Shikamaru?
    What's wrong, Shikamaru?
**[04:26] ---**
    It's nothing…
**[04:27] ---**
    Are you planning to go too?
**[04:29] ---**
    Are you joking?
**[04:30] ---**
    Even I know better than to tag along
    with some newlyweds…
**[04:34] ---**
    R-Right? Of course you would.
**[04:37] ---**
    I was gonna ask the waitress to
    seat me at a different table.
**[04:41] ---**
    *So, you ARE going?!*
**[04:42] ---**
    *Still, this is not the time*
    *to get on Choji's case.*
**[04:45] ---**
    *I still haven't decided to*
    *what to get them.*
**[04:49] ---**
    *And I can't waste a minute*
    *on deciding.*
**[04:51] ---**
    *I'm thinking…*
    *something useful.*
**[04:54] ---**
    *A decorative item would just get*
    *in the way if it's not to their taste.*
**[04:56] ---**
    *Flowers or food would*
    *be gone eventually,*
**[04:58] ---**
    *and it would seem like*
    *a seasonal gift.*
**[05:01] ---**
    *Sending them something*
    *is really risky…*
**[05:04] ---**
    *So that leaves…cash!*
**[05:07] ---**
    *That's not a bad idea.*
**[05:08] ---**
    *They can get whatever they want,*
**[05:11] ---**
    *and it's way better than getting*
    *something they won't use*
**[05:13] ---**
    *or something that's identical*
    *to someone else's gift.*
**[05:16] ---**
    *But wait a minute…*
**[05:18] ---**
    *What if I'm the only one*
    *giving them cash?*
**[05:20] ---**
    It's not a lot, but please accept it!
**[05:22] ---**
    *Not good!*
**[05:23] ---**
    *Everyone will think I was*
    *the only one too lazy*
**[05:25] ---**
    *to go out and buy a gift and*
**[05:27] ---**
    *just gave them cash*
    *without thinking.*
**[05:29] ---**
    Shikamaru, you okay?
**[05:31] ---**
    U-Uh, yeah… I just felt a chill.
**[05:34] ---**
    Sorry, did you get cold
    from watching me eat
**[05:36] ---**
    all that ice cream?
**[05:38] ---**
    That's not it…
**[05:39] ---**
    I got hot from eating
    all that barbecue,
**[05:41] ---**
    so it was just what I needed.
**[05:42] ---**
    Besides, I'm the kinda guy
    who can eat ice cream
**[05:45] ---**
    even if I'm traveling
    in snow country!
**[05:49] ---**
    My appetite beats
    the cold every time.
**[05:52] ---**
    Damn it, no one can
    beat your appetite—
**[05:56] ---**
    Choji! What did you just say?!
**[05:58] ---**
    My appetite beats the cold?
**[06:01] ---**
    No, before that!
**[06:02] ---**
    What about snow country?
**[06:04] ---**
    Oh…
**[06:05] ---**
    I can eat ice cream even if
    I'm traveling in snow country…
**[06:08] ---**
    That's it!
**[06:09] ---**
    *Steam and Food Pills*
    
**[06:14] ---**
    A honeymoon?
**[06:15] ---**
    Yeah… I'm gonna gift Naruto
    and Hinata a honeymoon.
**[06:20] ---**
    So where are you off to now?
**[06:23] ---**
    I have to decide on a place,
    and go check it out.
**[06:27] ---**
    And I need to get
    a woman's point of view
**[06:29] ---**
    so I can get a sense of
    what Hinata might like.
**[06:32] ---**
    If only Ino were here…
**[06:35] ---**
    There she is!
**[06:43] ---**
    H-Hey…
**[06:44] ---**
    It's been awhile…
    ever since that day, huh?
**[06:47] ---**
    Y-Yeah.
**[06:49] ---**
    What are you guys up to?
**[06:51] ---**
    Uh, stuff…We just had
    some lunch. And you?
**[06:56] ---**
    I'm here to discuss
    the Chunin Exams
**[06:59] ---**
    and making my rounds
    to people…
**[07:01] ---**
    O-Oh…that so?
**[07:04] ---**
    What the hell?!
**[07:05] ---**
    I thought you meant
    Ino was there…
**[07:07] ---**
    You said
    a "woman's point of view,"
**[07:10] ---**
    so it doesn't have to be Ino.
**[07:13] ---**
    But she's a warrior-type
    to the core.
**[07:16] ---**
    I can't talk to her about
    a wedding gift…
**[07:19] ---**
    *What?*
**[07:20] ---**
    *A honeymoon as*
    *a wedding gift?*
**[07:22] ---**
    *Talk about a silly*
    *and pathetic idea.*
**[07:25] ---**
    I just know she'd say
    something like that.
**[07:28] ---**
    Wouldn't that apply
    to Ino as well?
**[07:31] ---**
    Hey, what're you two
    whispering about?
**[07:34] ---**
    Oh, it's nothing…
**[07:36] ---**
    I think Shikamaru wants to talk
    to you about something.
**[07:40] ---**
    T-Talk to me?
**[07:42] ---**
    *Maybe…next time…*
    *we can go get a bite to eat.*
**[07:48] ---**
    T-Talk about what?
**[07:50] ---**
    Damn it, Choji!
**[07:54] ---**
    *I can't come out and*
    *say something like,*
**[07:56] ---**
    *"It's no use talking to Temari*
    *about honeymoons."*
**[08:00] ---**
    Well…
**[08:01] ---**
    I guess have no choice…
**[08:03] ---**
    Well, you see…
**[08:05] ---**
    I'm seriously thinking about
    a honeymoon.
**[08:08] ---**
    So, if it were you,
    where would you like to go?
**[08:11] ---**
    Huh?!
**[08:11] ---**
    A-A honeymoon?!
**[08:13] ---**
    W-What's the matter?
**[08:14] ---**
    N-Nothing.
**[08:15] ---**
    A honeymoon, huh?
**[08:17] ---**
    W-Why would you ask me that?
**[08:21] ---**
    Huh? Well, I just figured…
**[08:25] ---**
    *Wait a second.*
**[08:26] ---**
    *I can't come out and say*
    *it really doesn't matter who,*
**[08:29] ---**
    *I just need*
    *a woman's opinion, can I?*
**[08:31] ---**
    I figured you'd be
    the best one to ask.
**[08:35] ---**
    I-I'm the best one?
**[08:38] ---**
    I-I see.
**[08:39] ---**
    O-Okay then,
    I'll hear you out.
**[08:43] ---**
    O-Oh…
**[08:44] ---**
    Well, I thought a hot spring
    would be nice and relaxing…
**[08:50] ---**
    Does that sound like something
    an old man would like?
**[08:53] ---**
    No, a hot spring sounds great!
**[08:56] ---**
    Really? Awesome!
**[08:58] ---**
    Good food and hot springs…
    perfect, right?
**[09:02] ---**
    *Good. At least I got confirmation.*
    *So now…*
**[09:05] ---**
    Now you have to
    choose where, right?
**[09:08] ---**
    Huh? Oh, yeah.
**[09:10] ---**
    Maybe we can check some out.
**[09:12] ---**
    It's still early.
    Why not go now?
**[09:15] ---**
    Yeah, that's true. Then…
**[09:17] ---**
    I'm going to Amaguriama.
**[09:19] ---**
    So why don't you two go?
**[09:20] ---**
    Huh?!
**[09:22] ---**
    Sorry, I just have to have
    some dessert after eating!
**[09:26] ---**
    You just ate!
**[09:28] ---**
    I always save room for dessert.
**[09:30] ---**
    You just filled that room earlier!
**[09:34] ---**
    *You idiot!*
**[09:35] ---**
    *Because of Choji's big mouth,*
**[09:37] ---**
    *Temari's standing there*
    *red-faced and upset!*
**[09:40] ---**
    Sorry, Choji didn't mean to
    get you upset or anything.
**[09:45] ---**
    Since we're talking
    about honeymoons,
**[09:47] ---**
    he figured there's no sense
    I go alone.
**[09:48] ---**
    Yeah, that's right.
**[09:50] ---**
    A honeymoon is meant for two,
    so you guys should go.
**[09:55] ---**
    Okay, you two. I'm off.
**[09:58] ---**
    Hey, uh…Mr. C-Choji?!
**[10:01] ---**
    *What am I supposed to do now?*
**[10:10] ---**
    I'll go with you.
**[10:12] ---**
    Huh?
**[10:19] ---**
    *How did it turn out like this?*
**[10:21] ---**
    *W-What's with this strange*
    *nervousness?*
**[10:24] ---**
    *Anyway, I never expected*
    *Temari to help me out*
**[10:26] ---**
    *with choosing a wedding gift*
    *for Naruto and Hinata.*
**[10:28] ---**
    *However…*
**[10:29] ---**
    *Why is she so silent*
    *all of a sudden?*
**[10:31] ---**
    *I can't get a read*
    *on her at all!*
**[10:33] ---**
    *First, I have to get her*
    *out of her bad mood.*
**[10:36] ---**
    W-Well… Since we're out…
**[10:39] ---**
    should we stop by
    a couple places?
**[10:40] ---**
    O-Oh, sure…
**[10:44] ---**
    HIT THE TARGET
    
**[10:53] ---**
    That's rare of you to miss.
**[11:00] ---**
    What?!
**[11:06] ---**
    Sorry…
**[11:08] ---**
    This was all I could win.
**[11:11] ---**
    *I'm not completely sure,*
**[11:12] ---**
    *but I think she's in*
    *a good mood now.*
**[11:29] ---**
    *Thank goodness!*
    *It's still here!*
**[11:32] ---**
    *I knew it was*
    *the perfect wedding gift.*
**[11:35] ---**
    *It's cute and simple.*
**[11:37] ---**
    *It's one of a kind!*
**[11:39] ---**
    *I had to get money*
    *from my savings,*
**[11:42] ---**
    *but I know Hinata*
    *will love it!*
**[11:45] ---**
    *Anyway, my wedding gift*
    *to them is set!*
**[11:49] ---**
    I-Ino…
**[11:51] ---**
    Imagine seeing you here.
**[11:52] ---**
    I can say the same about you.
**[11:55] ---**
    – *No way!*
    – *She isn't—!*
**[11:57] ---**
    B-By the way, have you seen
    Naruto lately?
**[12:00] ---**
    No, not at all.
**[12:02] ---**
    Imagine that,
    Naruto getting married.
**[12:04] ---**
    He used to be crazy
    about you long ago.
**[12:07] ---**
    That was back when
    we were kids.
**[12:09] ---**
    I'm really happy
    he and Hinata are together.
**[12:12] ---**
    *There's no mistake…*
**[12:13] ---**
    *She's also…*
**[12:15] ---**
    *– planning on that for a wedding gift!*
    *– planning on that for a wedding gift!*
**[12:17] ---**
    *I have to get this picture frame*
    *before her!*
**[12:21] ---**
    *But how…?*
**[12:23] ---**
    Hey Sakura, were you planning
    on getting this
**[12:28] ---**
    for Naruto and Hinata?
**[12:31] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:32] ---**
    *That's right! I have to provoke her*
**[12:34] ---**
    *and make her*
    *too proud to buy it.*
**[12:36] ---**
    That's impossible, right?
**[12:39] ---**
    You wouldn't get something
    that tacky, would you?
**[12:43] ---**
    *I'm not gonna fall for it.*
**[12:45] ---**
    *This woman's trying to diss*
    *that picture frame,*
**[12:48] ---**
    *so I won't buy it.*
**[12:50] ---**
    What are you talking about?
**[12:51] ---**
    You were totally about
    to buy it earlier…
**[12:54] ---**
    Th-That's…
**[12:56] ---**
    Why would you even think about
    buying something tacky? How stupid!
**[13:00] ---**
    Stupid?!
**[13:02] ---**
    I didn't say
    I was going to buy it!
**[13:04] ---**
    I was just gonna move it
    out of the way
**[13:07] ---**
    because it's trash.
**[13:12] ---**
    Really, you may have
    brute strength,
**[13:13] ---**
    but you have no taste at all!
**[13:15] ---**
    Brute strength?!
**[13:17] ---**
    Talk about
    a lame comparison!
**[13:20] ---**
    Excuse me!
**[13:22] ---**
    You're annoying
    the other customers.
**[13:24] ---**
    See, Ino!
**[13:25] ---**
    You're annoying the others!
**[13:26] ---**
    You're the one who's yelling!
**[13:29] ---**
    You started it!
**[13:30] ---**
    This is mine!
**[13:32] ---**
    Hey, that's mine!
**[13:33] ---**
    I found it first!
**[13:35] ---**
    Now, now…
**[13:37] ---**
    Please don't pull so hard,
    or else—!
**[13:40] ---**
    – Shut up!
    – Shut up!
**[13:45] ---**
    You've got some nerve!
**[13:50] ---**
    Because of you,
    we got kicked out!
**[13:52] ---**
    That's my line!
**[13:54] ---**
    You have no sense
    of mutual compromise!
**[13:58] ---**
    You have no regard for anyone,
    you have no chest,
**[13:59] ---**
    all you have is brute strength!
**[14:01] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:02] ---**
    My chest has nothing
    to do with this!
**[14:05] ---**
    There is nothing you
    can beat me in,
**[14:07] ---**
    so you always try to bring up
    something unrelated! You should stop that.
**[14:10] ---**
    I don't know the meaning
    of not winning.
**[14:12] ---**
    And I win hands down
    in femininity.
**[14:15] ---**
    Feminine?!
**[14:17] ---**
    You? How?
**[14:18] ---**
    Now, now…
**[14:19] ---**
    Stop your fighting, you two.
**[14:21] ---**
    Choji! Perfect timing!
**[14:23] ---**
    Who's more feminine?
    Me or Sakura?!
**[14:27] ---**
    You can't just ask something
    like that out of the blue…
**[14:30] ---**
    Even your own teammate, Choji,
    won't pick you. How sad!
**[14:34] ---**
    Huh?!
**[14:35] ---**
    Choji's not on your team,
**[14:37] ---**
    but he won't even try to
    flatter you. That is so sad!
**[14:39] ---**
    H-Hey, cut it out.
**[14:41] ---**
    Hmm… Okay then…
**[14:43] ---**
    If you want to know,
    why don't you put it to a test.
**[14:46] ---**
    – A test?
    – A test?
**[14:47] ---**
    Personally, I think someone who
    can cook is very feminine.
**[14:51] ---**
    So maybe you should see
    who cooks better?
**[14:56] ---**
    Okay, let's begin
    the challenge!
**[14:58] ---**
    The one who makes
    the tastiest food pills wins.
**[15:02] ---**
    *You just watch, Sakura.*
**[15:04] ---**
    *I know what you like*
    *and dislike.*
**[15:06] ---**
    *I just have to make something*
    *that'll make you gag.*
**[15:10] ---**
    The judge will be Choji.
**[15:12] ---**
    Huh?! You're not going
    to eat it?!
**[15:14] ---**
    Fine with me!
**[15:16] ---**
    I just ate a mountain
    of ice cream,
**[15:19] ---**
    but I always have room
    for food pills!
**[15:21] ---**
    W-Wait!
**[15:22] ---**
    Choji's my teammate.
**[15:25] ---**
    That gives me the edge!
**[15:26] ---**
    You should be okay with
    having the advantage…
**[15:30] ---**
    Don't tell me…
**[15:32] ---**
    You weren't planning to poison them
    to make me sick, were you?
**[15:35] ---**
    Like I would!
**[15:36] ---**
    Come on, let's get started!
**[15:38] ---**
    Okay, without further ado!
**[15:40] ---**
    The food pill contest to see
    who's more feminine, begins!
**[15:43] ---**
    Ready, fight!
**[15:52] ---**
    Whoa, what's this?!
**[15:54] ---**
    Instead of using
    a mortar and pestle,
**[15:55] ---**
    she uses her
    fine chakra control
**[15:57] ---**
    to get the ingredients
    to the desired size.
**[15:59] ---**
    I can't wait to taste
    the sensation
**[16:01] ---**
    when I put it in my mouth!
**[16:05] ---**
    Whoa!
**[16:06] ---**
    She's searing the ingredients
    with super-fire power!
**[16:10] ---**
    Sakura is using some
    legendary golden honey.
**[16:13] ---**
    Ino is using cacao powder.
**[16:15] ---**
    Both seem irresistible!
**[16:20] ---**
    Th-This is…?!
**[16:31] ---**
    Th-This is…
**[16:34] ---**
    Yummy!
**[16:36] ---**
    So delicious!
**[16:38] ---**
    Rich, yet not too overpowering…
    That indescribable something
**[16:41] ---**
    that explodes when
    it hits your tongue…
**[16:42] ---**
    That delicate aroma
    and taste that lingers…
**[16:45] ---**
    It's a treasure chest
    of sweetness!
**[16:47] ---**
    Choji!
**[16:48] ---**
    So? Which is it?
**[16:50] ---**
    Which one tastes better?
**[16:51] ---**
    Oh, I wolfed both down,
    so I can't tell.
**[16:55] ---**
    But they were both really…good…
**[17:03] ---**
    – Choji!
    – Choji!
**[17:04] ---**
    Choji! Choji!
**[17:18] ---**
    *I've made a lot of friends too.*
**[17:22] ---**
    Noooo!
**[17:24] ---**
    Choji! Don't die!
**[17:26] ---**
    What's happening?
**[17:27] ---**
    Is his life flashing
    before his eyes?
**[17:30] ---**
    Ino!
**[17:31] ---**
    You did used poison,
    didn't you?!
**[17:33] ---**
    You know I wouldn't!
**[17:34] ---**
    Just who do
    you think I am, anyway?!
**[17:37] ---**
    I've made…a lot of friends…
**[17:39] ---**
    This is bad!
**[17:40] ---**
    Choji's delirium is getting worse!
**[17:45] ---**
    What are you doing?
**[17:46] ---**
    I have to see what's inside it
    before I can treat him.
**[17:50] ---**
    If there's poison in it,
    my tongue will go numb…
**[17:53] ---**
    I told you,
    there's no poison inside!
**[17:55] ---**
    Damn it!
**[17:59] ---**
    It's delicious!
**[18:01] ---**
    Uh-huh!
**[18:01] ---**
    Why?
**[18:02] ---**
    I really love this taste.
**[18:04] ---**
    Me too! I love this flavor!
**[18:06] ---**
    Boy, that surprised me.
**[18:09] ---**
    I ate too many sweets…
**[18:10] ---**
    Seems my blood sugar
    shot up.
**[18:13] ---**
    But I'm okay now!
**[18:15] ---**
    Is that all?
**[18:16] ---**
    Thank goodness.
**[18:17] ---**
    Hey, Ino.
**[18:18] ---**
    Why would you go out of the way
    to make something I love?
**[18:21] ---**
    Well…
**[18:23] ---**
    I figured if I surprised you with
    a flavor you'd love, I'd win.
**[18:26] ---**
    What, really?
**[18:29] ---**
    That was my strategy too!
**[18:30] ---**
    Huh?! You too?
**[18:33] ---**
    No wonder
    I love how it tastes!
**[18:38] ---**
    Ultimately, we saw right
    through each other.
**[18:42] ---**
    Okay, since we know
    each other so well,
**[18:44] ---**
    there's something
    I want to say to you.
**[18:46] ---**
    What is it?
**[18:47] ---**
    Don't you think we'd find
    something even better
**[18:50] ---**
    if we looked for
    a wedding gift together?
**[18:54] ---**
    What now?
**[18:56] ---**
    I was thinking the same thing.
**[18:59] ---**
    TOMIYA
    
**[19:01] ---**
    That inn seems nice.
**[19:03] ---**
    Huh?
**[19:03] ---**
    *I'd better hurry up*
    *and choose or*
**[19:05] ---**
    *I'll just keep mulling over*
    *this wedding gift.*
**[19:07] ---**
    *I just have to pick something!*
**[19:10] ---**
    Okay. Let's go in!
**[19:12] ---**
    Huh?!
**[19:13] ---**
    What's the matter?
**[19:13] ---**
    Weren't we just going to…
    look around?
**[19:16] ---**
    Yeah, but we have to go inside
    or we can't make a decision.
**[19:20] ---**
    No, but…
    I'm not mentally prepared…
**[19:22] ---**
    *What? Mentally prepared?*
**[19:24] ---**
    *Is she panicking because*
    *this place too fancy?*
**[19:27] ---**
    It's okay.
**[19:29] ---**
    Temari, let's just go inside
    and then we can decide.
**[19:31] ---**
    I-It'll be too late once
    we go inside!
**[19:33] ---**
    I might get caught up
    in the mood…
**[19:36] ---**
    *What's she talking about?*
    *The mood?*
**[19:38] ---**
    *The mood of that inn?*
**[19:40] ---**
    *What does she mean*
    *by getting caught up in it?*
**[19:42] ---**
    *I don't get it!*
**[19:45] ---**
    Hey…you don't…
**[19:46] ---**
    …have a fever, do you?
**[19:48] ---**
    I-I'm going home!
**[19:51] ---**
    H-Hey, wait!
    It's gonna get dark soon!
**[19:53] ---**
    If you're not feeling well,
**[19:55] ---**
    we really should book
    a room and rest!
**[19:58] ---**
    Please wait!
**[20:00] ---**
    I really…need you!
**[20:04] ---**
    Are you sure…I'm the one?
**[20:06] ---**
    Yeah! You're the only one!
**[20:12] ---**
    Besides, I can't go into
    the women's bath.
**[20:16] ---**
    What?
**[20:17] ---**
    Temari, I need you to go
    into the women's bath
**[20:19] ---**
    and report back
    every detail to me.
**[20:23] ---**
    That's all. Easy, right?
**[20:26] ---**
    So, uh…
**[20:27] ---**
    Just what is this all
    about anyway?
**[20:29] ---**
    What else? I'm going
    to gift Naruto and Hinata
**[20:32] ---**
    a honeymoon for
    their wedding gift,
**[20:34] ---**
    and I need to choose the inn.
**[20:36] ---**
    Oh… So that's it.
**[20:38] ---**
    Huh? Didn't I…tell you?
**[20:40] ---**
    This is the first
    I've heard about it.
**[20:47] ---**
    ICHIRAKU RAMEN
    
**[20:50] ---**
    So, you're back to square one
**[20:52] ---**
    in your search for
    a wedding gift?
**[20:53] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:54] ---**
    But I think it turned out
    for the best.
**[20:57] ---**
    What about you, Shikamaru?
**[20:59] ---**
    Trying to explain
    everything is a drag…
**[21:05] ---**
    22 MORE DAYS UNTIL
    THE WEDDING
    
**[22:40] ---**
    It's Naruto's wedding!
    Hinata's madly in love!
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    I'm jealous! Fool, ya fool!
    The wedding gift, I gotta prepare…
    
    
**[22:48] ---**
    For those two,
    something extravagant.
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    If it's too expensive,
    let's split it!
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    This makes me
    wanna get married too!
    
    
**[22:54] ---**
    I can do it!
    I'll be the next one up!
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    I'm so popular,
    I'm on the verge of bursting!
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    For real… I'm on the frontlines
    of romance!
    
    
**[23:00] ---**
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[23:02] ---**
    "Hidden Leaf Story,
    The Perfect Day for a Wedding,
    Part 3: The Kazekage's Wedding Gift"

    WIND
    
**[01:54] ---**
    Welcome.
**[01:56] ---**
    It's been a while Lord Sixth.
**[02:00] ---**
    I apologize for being late.
**[02:02] ---**
    Have the other Kage
    arrived already?
**[02:06] ---**
    Yes, they just arrived.
**[02:12] ---**
    6TH HOKAGE
    
    
    I don't see the Mizukage…
**[02:14] ---**
    6TH HOKAGE
    
    
    Due to inclement weather en route,
**[02:17] ---**
    6TH HOKAGE
    
    they are running about
    a half a day behind.
**[02:20] ---**
    6TH HOKAGE
    
    
    During this time,
**[02:21] ---**
    6TH HOKAGE
    
    please relax and enjoy what
    our village has to offer.
**[02:24] ---**
    I've assigned Hidden Leaf Shinobi
    to accompany you.
**[02:27] ---**
    By the way, Lord Sixth.
**[02:29] ---**
    I understand Naruto is
    going to marry.
**[02:32] ---**
    Yes, so you've heard?
**[02:33] ---**
    I've prepared a wedding gift
    from the Hidden Rock.
**[02:39] ---**
    May I ask you to present it
    at the wedding celebration?
**[02:42] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud will
    also be sending a gift.
**[02:45] ---**
    I ask the same of you.
**[02:47] ---**
    I understand.
**[02:48] ---**
    I'm sure Naruto will
    be very happy.
**[02:51] ---**
    Naruto…is getting married, huh?
**[02:54] ---**
    *The Kazekage's Wedding Gift*
**[02:58] ---**
    We didn't hear anything about
    Naruto getting married!
**[03:02] ---**
    Temari, you were here just
    a little while ago…
**[03:05] ---**
    You must've heard about it!
**[03:07] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[03:08] ---**
    Why didn't you tell us?!
**[03:11] ---**
    Shut up! I forgot, okay?!
**[03:14] ---**
    What's come over you?
**[03:16] ---**
    Y-You're being scary.
**[03:18] ---**
    In any case, we should
    prepare a wedding gift.
**[03:22] ---**
    Since it will be from the Kazekage,
    we should get something extravagant.
**[03:25] ---**
    Extravagant, huh?
**[03:26] ---**
    Do you think Naruto would
    appreciate that?
**[03:29] ---**
    You think Naruto wouldn't be happy
    with something extravagant?
**[03:34] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS!
**[03:39] ---**
    When you put it that way…
**[03:40] ---**
    Gaara! It's been a very long time!
**[03:44] ---**
    Yes, it certainly has.
**[03:45] ---**
    We are going to show you
    around the village
**[03:48] ---**
    until Lord Mizukage arrives!
**[03:51] ---**
    Hey, Lee.
**[03:52] ---**
    He's here for
    the Five Kage Conference
**[03:55] ---**
    and we're on duty as well.
**[03:57] ---**
    Don't get too casual.
**[04:00] ---**
    No, let's not stand on ceremony.
**[04:02] ---**
    We appreciate your company.
**[04:03] ---**
    We're looking forward to it.
**[04:05] ---**
    So, is there somewhere
    you want to go first?
**[04:09] ---**
    Let's see…
**[04:11] ---**
    Actually, I want to know
    what kinds of things Naruto likes.
**[04:14] ---**
    What Naruto likes?
**[04:17] ---**
    Let's see…
**[04:19] ---**
    I know just the place!
**[04:21] ---**
    I'll take you there now!
**[04:23] ---**
    Great. Are you both coming?
**[04:25] ---**
    Of course!
**[04:29] ---**
    I'm just going to relax here.
**[04:32] ---**
    *It will be awkward if I run into him.*
**[04:36] ---**
    What's up, Temari?
**[04:37] ---**
    You seem weirdly irritated…
**[04:39] ---**
    There's nothing going on!
**[04:41] ---**
    You guys just go!
**[04:44] ---**
    RAMEN ICHIRAKU
    
**[04:49] ---**
    Hello!
**[04:50] ---**
    Oh! Welcome, Iruka Sensei!
**[04:54] ---**
    I'd like a large miso char siu ramen.
**[04:56] ---**
    Sure thing!
**[04:58] ---**
    But, Iruka Sensei, you've been
    coming around a lot lately.
**[05:01] ---**
    Don't be rude, Ayame!
**[05:03] ---**
    He's a very important customer!
**[05:06] ---**
    What's going on with you?
    You seem to be troubled.
**[05:10] ---**
    Well…
**[05:12] ---**
    Everyone's in a tizzy over
    what to get Naruto
**[05:15] ---**
    for his wedding gift for
    the past few days.
**[05:17] ---**
    It doesn't involve me
    since I'm not a shinobi.
**[05:19] ---**
    But I still want to give him something.
    And I came up with…
**[05:22] ---**
    this!
**[05:24] ---**
    FREE RAMEN PASS
    ICHIRAKU
    
    A free ramen pass?
**[05:26] ---**
    Oh! Not this.
**[05:29] ---**
    RAMEN FREE PASS
    FOR ONE YEAR
    ICHIRAKU
    
**[05:31] ---**
    I see… He gets to eat free ramen
    for a limited time.
**[05:36] ---**
    I'm sure this'll make him
    very happy.
**[05:38] ---**
    But I wonder about a whole year…
**[06:06] ---**
    A year is too long.
**[06:08] ---**
    Too long…
**[06:10] ---**
    RAMEN FREE PASS
    FOR SIX MONTHS
    ICHIRAKU
    
**[06:11] ---**
    It's the same with half a year.
**[06:14] ---**
    Yeah, you're right…
**[06:17] ---**
    I see.
**[06:18] ---**
    You want to give Naruto
    a wedding gift too?
**[06:21] ---**
    He'll definitely be overjoyed!
**[06:23] ---**
    So, does that mean
    you have something already, Lee?
**[06:26] ---**
    Of course!
**[06:28] ---**
    I see.
**[06:29] ---**
    This is the first time I'm getting
    something like a wedding gift.
**[06:32] ---**
    I don't have a clue
    on what to get.
**[06:36] ---**
    Then you must consider what
    a wedding is in the first place!
**[06:42] ---**
    *What is a wedding ceremony?*
**[06:45] ---**
    *What is absolutely necessary*
    *for a wedding ceremony?*
**[06:48] ---**
    *Wouldn't that be…love?*
**[06:51] ---**
    *I'm getting a bad feeling*
    *about this…*
**[06:53] ---**
    "What is a wedding ceremony?"
**[06:56] ---**
    That's a very philosophical question.
**[06:59] ---**
    Yes, it is.
**[07:00] ---**
    So think about it this way…
**[07:03] ---**
    What is absolutely necessary
    for a wedding ceremony?
**[07:06] ---**
    Absolutely necessary for
    a wedding…?
**[07:09] ---**
    Wouldn't that be…love?
**[07:15] ---**
    Yes!
**[07:17] ---**
    LOVE
    
    
    That was my answer too!
**[07:19] ---**
    LOVE
    
    Why is this going exactly
    the same way as before?!
**[07:22] ---**
    However, my mentor whom
    I greatly respect, Guy Sensei,
**[07:26] ---**
    didn't stop there.
**[07:28] ---**
    He realized that
    it's the bride and groom
**[07:30] ---**
    who are most important
    in a wedding…
**[07:32] ---**
    and if you put yourself
    into their shoes,
**[07:33] ---**
    you would see what would
    be the best gift.
**[07:38] ---**
    And the result of that was…
**[07:41] ---**
    I got them dumbbells!
**[07:44] ---**
    D-Dumbbells?
**[07:46] ---**
    I'm only a shinobi…
**[07:48] ---**
    so I think that's most suitable thing
    for me to present.
**[07:50] ---**
    However, Gaara, you are the Kazekage,
    so we must consider your position.
**[07:53] ---**
    So, I think some extravagant barbells
    would be great!
**[07:59] ---**
    B-Barbells, huh…
**[08:02] ---**
    I don't know about barbells…
**[08:05] ---**
    But I agree with
    the "extravagant" part.
**[08:08] ---**
    ICHIRAKU
    
    – Hello!
    – Welcome!
**[08:10] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[08:11] ---**
    Hey, Lee! We meet again!
**[08:15] ---**
    Gaara, let me introduce Iruka Sensei,
    Naruto's teacher.
**[08:19] ---**
    Iruka Sensei,
    this is Gaara the Kazekage!
**[08:22] ---**
    H-How do you do?
**[08:24] ---**
    Why is Lord Kazekage
    with you two?
**[08:28] ---**
    We've been assigned to show him
    around the village
**[08:31] ---**
    until the Five Kage Conference begins.
**[08:33] ---**
    Gaara is also thinking about
    a wedding gift for Naruto.
**[08:38] ---**
    Naruto and Gaara are friends.
**[08:41] ---**
    Friends?!
**[08:44] ---**
    Anyway, we're going to send
    an extravagant gift
**[08:47] ---**
    representative of the Hidden Sand.
**[08:49] ---**
    I'm very grateful to
    the Lord Kazekage
**[08:52] ---**
    for making such
    an extravagant gesture…
**[08:55] ---**
    and I'm sure Naruto will
    be overjoyed as well.
**[08:57] ---**
    Now, if you will please excuse me.
**[09:06] ---**
    See? Naruto's gonna be happy!
**[09:09] ---**
    His own teacher confirmed that.
**[09:12] ---**
    You think so?
**[09:13] ---**
    One thing's for sure,
    Naruto loves flashy things!
**[09:16] ---**
    There's no way he won't be happy
    with an extravagant gift.
**[09:20] ---**
    I see…
**[09:21] ---**
    I guess I'm gonna go
    big and grand too,
**[09:23] ---**
    and give him a year's free pass—
**[09:25] ---**
    Father…
**[09:27] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[09:29] ---**
    Pops, I'll have a large
    miso char siu ramen!
**[09:32] ---**
    What is that?
**[09:33] ---**
    Naruto's favorite item
    on the menu.
**[09:36] ---**
    It has an extravagant helping
    of char sui.
**[09:38] ---**
    Even his ramen is extravagant?
**[09:41] ---**
    Then I'll have that too.
**[09:43] ---**
    Me too.
**[09:44] ---**
    Okay, Pops…
**[09:46] ---**
    A large miso char siu ramen
    for all of us!
**[09:49] ---**
    Hold it!
**[09:51] ---**
    Make mine a regular,
    without char siu, and for the topping…
**[09:54] ---**
    Topping?
**[09:56] ---**
    Seems Naruto fish cake
    is ranked number one.
**[09:59] ---**
    Way back, it used to be
    the least popular.
**[10:02] ---**
    These days, it's Naruto fish cake,
    hands down.
**[10:05] ---**
    That's the kinda effect he's had.
**[10:07] ---**
    Then I'll have
    the regular miso ramen,
**[10:09] ---**
    with the Naruto fishcake topping.
**[10:11] ---**
    Please add that to mine too.
**[10:14] ---**
    TOPPING MENU
    #1 NARUTO FISHCAKE
    #2 CHAR SIU
    #3 MENMA
    
    All right! I'll give you an extravagant
    helping of the topping!
**[10:20] ---**
    Boy, did we eat.
**[10:23] ---**
    Where would you like to go next?
**[10:27] ---**
    Are you all right?
**[10:28] ---**
    You've been deep in thought
    this whole time.
**[10:32] ---**
    I was thinking about what
    to give Naruto as the Kazekage.
**[10:36] ---**
    As the Kazekage?
**[10:38] ---**
    Kankuro wants to give
    something extravagant,
**[10:40] ---**
    but that just doesn't sit right with me.
**[10:43] ---**
    I see…
**[10:44] ---**
    Hey, c'mon, Gaara…
**[10:47] ---**
    But after listening to
    Naruto's teacher
**[10:48] ---**
    and the ramen shop's proprietor,
    I'm convinced.
**[10:51] ---**
    As long as it makes Naruto happy.
**[10:53] ---**
    That's more like it!
**[10:54] ---**
    I'll help in any way I can too!
**[10:59] ---**
    – Huh?
    – Huh?
**[11:01] ---**
    Huh?
**[11:03] ---**
    Hey, you Hidden Sand
    and Leaf guys!
**[11:06] ---**
    Guess who I am, yay!
**[11:09] ---**
    *What an awful rap…*
**[11:10] ---**
    You're Lord Killer Bee,
    the bodyguard of Lord Raikage, right?
**[11:14] ---**
    Isn't anyone accompanying you
    in the village?
**[11:16] ---**
    I prefer my freedom.
**[11:20] ---**
    My brother's at
    the conference reception.
**[11:23] ---**
    Me, I prefer a village exploration.
**[11:26] ---**
    By the way, Kazekage,
**[11:27] ---**
    are you planning on giving
    Naruto a wedding gift?
**[11:30] ---**
    Yes, I intend to.
**[11:32] ---**
    Finding a gift is
    my personal mission.
**[11:35] ---**
    Let's do our best to make
    a good decision, yay.
**[11:39] ---**
    Sounds like the Hidden Cloud
    are really into this.
**[11:42] ---**
    Our gift will be something
    to marvel at.
**[11:44] ---**
    Listen well and remember that.
**[11:46] ---**
    *Seriously? Do you have to answer*
    *in rap all the time?*
**[11:50] ---**
    PURE SAKE
    LONG LIFE
    LIGHTNING
    CONGRATULATIONS
    
    Decorated for a special occasion…
**[11:52] ---**
    PURE SAKE
    LONG LIFE
    LIGHTNING
    CONGRATULATIONS
    
    Sake produced by the Hidden Cloud…
**[11:54] ---**
    Ten giant kegs of which
    we're proud, yay.
**[11:56] ---**
    Hidden Cloud beef of
    super high-quality…
**[12:00] ---**
    We'll present it roasted whole,
    in its entirety, yay.
**[12:05] ---**
    Premium games…
**[12:07] ---**
    The best of the best.
**[12:09] ---**
    Ten great games, no less. Yay!
**[12:11] ---**
    That sums up my presentation.
**[12:13] ---**
    A wedding's an important celebration.
**[12:15] ---**
    Yay.
**[12:16] ---**
    A-Amazing!
**[12:18] ---**
    I didn't get the details
    because of your rap…
**[12:21] ---**
    but I did get that
    it'll be extravagant.
**[12:24] ---**
    So what's the Hidden Sand getting?
**[12:28] ---**
    Have you already ordered it?
**[12:31] ---**
    Well…that's just it.
**[12:33] ---**
    Okay! Okay!
**[12:35] ---**
    I apologize, I should have realized…
**[12:37] ---**
    Our gifts are so extravagant
    that it's made you hesitant.
**[12:40] ---**
    But that's not important.
**[12:42] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:43] ---**
    Doesn't matter
    if it's not fancy,
**[12:44] ---**
    what comes from the heart
    is the best choice.
**[12:47] ---**
    That's what'll make
    Naruto rejoice, yay!
**[12:50] ---**
    Don't patronize us!
**[12:52] ---**
    K-Kankuro?!
**[12:54] ---**
    We're gonna give a gift that
    equals the Hidden Cloud's!
**[12:58] ---**
    We plan to cover the reception hall
**[13:00] ---**
    with flowers grown in
    the Hidden Sand!
**[13:03] ---**
    And to highlight
    the celebration dinner,
**[13:05] ---**
    we'll send the finest tuna
    in the land…a whole bluefin!
**[13:08] ---**
    And we'll prepare boxes of sweets
    as wedding favors for every guest!
**[13:14] ---**
    How's that?!
**[13:16] ---**
    Hold it. Who said anything about—?
**[13:17] ---**
    Amazing!
**[13:19] ---**
    You came up with all that
    in such a short time!
**[13:22] ---**
    No…we haven't decided—
**[13:25] ---**
    Oh, I forgot something important.
**[13:28] ---**
    Fool, ya fool.
**[13:30] ---**
    For entertainment,
    Brother might perchance…
**[13:33] ---**
    perform the "Hidden Cloud Dance."
**[13:35] ---**
    Yay.
**[13:38] ---**
    The Raikage…
**[13:39] ---**
    The Hidden Cloud Dance, you say?!
**[13:41] ---**
    No, no, no… no way, no way…
**[13:43] ---**
    So now you get the drift…
**[13:45] ---**
    How the party will get a lift, yay
**[13:51] ---**
    T-This is bad! At this rate…
**[13:54] ---**
    Gaara will lose!
**[13:56] ---**
    No, giving a gift isn't
    about winning or losing.
**[13:59] ---**
    Dance...
**[14:00] ---**
    Huh?
**[14:01] ---**
    Show up the Raikage…
**[14:03] ---**
    and dance too, Gaara!
**[14:06] ---**
    That is the only way!
**[14:12] ---**
    The Mizukage should be arriving soon.
**[14:15] ---**
    Then we should call the Kazekage.
**[14:20] ---**
    Lord Kakashi…
**[14:21] ---**
    Drop the "lord."
**[14:24] ---**
    We received a request to
    adjust the entertainment time
**[14:27] ---**
    allotted at Naruto and Hinata's
    wedding reception.
**[14:31] ---**
    Huh? What's that?
**[14:33] ---**
    How come I wasn't told about
    a wedding reception?!
**[14:36] ---**
    At whose request?
**[14:37] ---**
    It's from…Lord Raikage's bodyguard…
**[14:40] ---**
    What?!
**[14:42] ---**
    He mentioned
    the "Hidden Cloud Dance" by the Raikage.
**[14:46] ---**
    Okay! Gaara will do
    the "Hidden Sand Samba."
**[14:49] ---**
    Oh! This is getting more
    and more exciting.
**[14:52] ---**
    Stop joking. I can't dance.
**[14:55] ---**
    Besides, it wouldn't make
    Naruto happy.
**[14:58] ---**
    Actually, I think he might take
    the initiative and join in.
**[15:02] ---**
    W-What…?!
**[15:08] ---**
    Y-You're right.
**[15:09] ---**
    Still…
**[15:10] ---**
    The Kazekage shouldn't dance
    in front of people!
**[15:14] ---**
    But he said the Raikage
    is going to dance!
**[15:20] ---**
    The Raikage's gift of dance
    is a must-see
**[15:23] ---**
    If you miss this opportunity,
    behind the times you'll be, yay.
**[15:29] ---**
    That fool!
**[15:31] ---**
    I beg your pardon if
    I make a scene…
**[15:36] ---**
    No, I doubt there will be
    a need for you to intervene.
**[15:40] ---**
    DUMPLINGS
    
    The Raikage's wedding gift
    of dance is a must-see
**[15:44] ---**
    If you miss this opportunity,
    behind the times you'll be, yay.
**[15:47] ---**
    Wedding… Behind the times?
**[15:52] ---**
    I'll kill you.
**[15:59] ---**
    I now call this Five Kage
    Conference to order.
**[16:07] ---**
    However, before we begin…
**[16:09] ---**
    In regard to wedding gifts for
    Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga…
**[16:13] ---**
    I ask that you use your good sense and
    keep things in moderation.
**[16:19] ---**
    And so, let's move on
    to our agenda.
**[16:30] ---**
    H-Hey…
**[16:37] ---**
    S-Sorry about last time.
**[16:41] ---**
    No… I'm sorry as well.
**[16:42] ---**
    Want to get a bite to eat?
**[16:51] ---**
    Might as well…
**[16:53] ---**
    LEAF INN
    
**[16:55] ---**
    RESERVED FOR
    A SPECIAL EVENT TODAY
    
**[17:15] ---**
    Lord Kazekage…
**[17:16] ---**
    So, you were still here in the village!
**[17:19] ---**
    The conference ran long…
**[17:22] ---**
    So, I decided to stay the night.
**[17:24] ---**
    I'm grateful that you've chosen
    our ramen for dinner!
**[17:28] ---**
    Well… I've never had anything
    so delicious.
**[17:31] ---**
    And I've never had such
    a compliment.
**[17:34] ---**
    By the way, I heard about
    the remarks Lord Hokage made
**[17:39] ---**
    about Naruto and Hinata's wedding gifts…
**[17:41] ---**
    It was to be expected.
**[17:43] ---**
    Things were getting
    out of hand.
**[17:45] ---**
    I'm sure everyone's feeling
    remorseful now.
**[17:51] ---**
    Even I…
**[17:53] ---**
    And I went overboard too.
    I apologize.
**[17:57] ---**
    Don't worry about it.
**[17:58] ---**
    Oh! Iruka Sensei.
**[18:00] ---**
    Welcome!
**[18:02] ---**
    Lord Kazekage…
    I just overheard you.
**[18:05] ---**
    I want to apologize too.
**[18:07] ---**
    But Naruto's teacher shouldn't…
**[18:10] ---**
    When I met you last time…
**[18:12] ---**
    *I'm very grateful to*
    *the Lord Kazekage*
**[18:15] ---**
    *for making such*
    *an extravagant gesture…*
**[18:18] ---**
    *and I'm sure Naruto will*
    *be overjoyed as well.*
**[18:21] ---**
    I'm at fault too,
    for putting it like that.
**[18:25] ---**
    I'm very sorry.
**[18:27] ---**
    There's nothing to be sorry about!
**[18:31] ---**
    I was just…simply happy.
**[18:34] ---**
    I learned that Naruto
    has wonderful friends
**[18:37] ---**
    who will go above and beyond
    to celebrate him.
**[18:41] ---**
    Friends…huh.
**[18:43] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[18:45] ---**
    No, I want to thank you too.
**[18:48] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:49] ---**
    I was confused,
    and you've cleared it up for me.
**[18:52] ---**
    I was thinking only
    about appearances,
**[18:55] ---**
    and forgot the most basic thing.
**[18:59] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[19:01] ---**
    I'm going to honor Naruto not
    as the Kazekage,
**[19:04] ---**
    but as his friend.
**[19:07] ---**
    Would that be all right?
**[19:11] ---**
    Of course.
**[19:13] ---**
    A large miso char siu ramen
    with Naruto fishcake topping!
**[19:16] ---**
    Oh, thank you.
**[19:18] ---**
    What'll you have, Iruka Sensei?
**[19:19] ---**
    Make mine the same…
**[19:20] ---**
    A large miso char siu ramen
    with Naruto fishcake topping.
**[19:23] ---**
    Coming right up!
**[19:27] ---**
    Dad, I'm done cleaning up here.
**[19:29] ---**
    Okay, thanks!
**[19:31] ---**
    Not going home yet?
**[19:33] ---**
    I'm gonna go on ahead.
**[19:34] ---**
    Make sure you lock up!
**[19:36] ---**
    All right… Finished!
**[19:42] ---**
    NARUTO CONGRATULATIONS
    ALL YOU CAN EAT FOREVER
    
**[19:48] ---**
    Have a safe trip back home.
**[19:49] ---**
    Gaara! Please come again!
**[19:52] ---**
    It would be great if you come back
    on your own next time,
**[19:54] ---**
    and not on official
    Kazekage business.
**[19:56] ---**
    Yes, that won't be
    too long from now.
**[20:00] ---**
    For Naruto and Hinata's wedding.
**[20:02] ---**
    I'm sorry, but I don't plan
    on bringing
**[20:05] ---**
    a special gift from
    the Hidden Sand.
**[20:08] ---**
    Huh? Why?
**[20:09] ---**
    Let him finish!
**[20:10] ---**
    I want to honor them personally,
    as a friend.
**[20:14] ---**
    I think that will please Naruto more.
**[20:17] ---**
    Gaara!
**[20:19] ---**
    Gaara…
**[20:20] ---**
    Yes, please do that.
**[20:31] ---**
    I think it turned out for the best.
**[20:34] ---**
    Feels like everything's all settled!
**[20:37] ---**
    You're in a good mood, Temari.
**[20:39] ---**
    N-No, I'm not!
**[20:41] ---**
    Besides, seeing you so depressed
    is more shocking, Kankuro!
**[20:46] ---**
    You can't blame him,
**[20:47] ---**
    since we're not going all out
    with an extravagant gift.
**[20:49] ---**
    No, that doesn't bother me.
**[20:52] ---**
    I'm just disappointed we won't get
    to see you dance, Gaara.
**[20:55] ---**
    No, there's still hope!
**[20:57] ---**
    He can dance as Naruto's friend!
**[21:03] ---**
    No chance.
**[21:05] ---**
    16 MORE DAYS UNTIL
    THE WEDDING
**[22:39] ---**
    To the one million
    Shino fans out there,
    
    
**[22:41] ---**
    I'm sorry to have
    kept you waiting.
    
    
**[22:43] ---**
    It's been said for over ten years
    that I don't stand out much.
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    Finally, a story with me
    as the lead!
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    It's because I've been chosen
    to go on a mission
    
    
**[22:50] ---**
    to find a wedding gift for Hinata!
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    And there–
    
    
**[22:52] ---**
    Sorry to keep you all waiting!
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    I play an active role next time
    on Naruto Shippuden:
    
    
**[22:56] ---**
    "Hidden Leaf Story,
    The Perfect Day for a Wedding,
    Part 5: The Last Mission"
    
    
**[23:01] ---**
    I'm the lead! Oh, where's Shino?
    
    
    
**[23:04] ---**
    Is it true that
    I don't stand out?
    
    
    
**[23:08] ---**
    Tune in again!

**[00:11] ---**
    Bugs are super gross!
**[00:13] ---**
    There are bugs here too!
**[00:17] ---**
    Bugs! Everywhere!
**[00:22] ---**
    Good job.
**[00:23] ---**
    What happened to the ones
    who haven't returned?
**[00:26] ---**
    What's up with these bugs?
**[00:28] ---**
    Chase 'em away, Tsukune!
    I can't stand bugs.
**[00:32] ---**
    But these aren't ordinary bugs!
**[00:36] ---**
    Cut it out, you guys.
**[00:38] ---**
    It's because those insects
    are my friends.
**[00:41] ---**
    – These bugs are your friends?
    – These bugs are your friends?
**[00:42] ---**
    What's up with this old guy?
**[00:46] ---**
    Those kids!
**[00:48] ---**
    This period is for
    extracurricular work.
**[00:49] ---**
    Where did they go?
**[00:50] ---**
    – Wow! Amazing!
    – Wow! Amazing!
**[00:52] ---**
    Cool!
**[00:54] ---**
    I've never seen
    an Insect User before!
**[00:56] ---**
    They'd be a huge hit at a party!
**[00:59] ---**
    No way… The party would be
    crawling with bugs.
**[01:03] ---**
    It seems you don't like insects.
**[01:04] ---**
    However,
    if you keep living with them,
**[01:06] ---**
    you become quite attached to them.
**[01:11] ---**
    Y-You're right… They're kinda cute.
**[01:14] ---**
    I wanna try too!
**[01:16] ---**
    Do you think you want to
    become an Insect User?
**[01:18] ---**
    Not gonna happen. This guy wants to
    become the future Hokage.
**[01:23] ---**
    The Hokage?
**[01:25] ---**
    I wanna surpass Naruto Uzumaki
    as a shinobi.
**[01:29] ---**
    I see. Well, if you want to
    surpass Naruto,
**[01:31] ---**
    you'll have to become the Hokage.
**[01:33] ---**
    You think so too?
**[01:35] ---**
    Then I guess while I'm at it,
    I'll become the Hokage too.
**[01:39] ---**
    I know someone else who wants to
    become the Hokage.
**[01:42] ---**
    But kid, you're the top contender.
**[01:45] ---**
    It's because I don't know anyone
    who says he'll become the Hokage
**[01:48] ---**
    as an afterthought.
**[01:49] ---**
    Right? See I'm the top contender!
**[01:52] ---**
    You just talk big!
**[01:55] ---**
    Shut up! You just watch me
    ten years from now!
**[01:58] ---**
    Are you aiming to become
    the Hokage too?
**[02:00] ---**
    No, I never gave it a thought.
**[02:02] ---**
    So, you wanted to become
    an Insect User?
**[02:05] ---**
    Yeah…that's right.
**[02:08] ---**
    What's necessary
    to realize a dream?
**[02:11] ---**
    I want to take that first step
    as soon as I can!
**[02:15] ---**
    The first step in realizing
    your dream is…
**[02:18] ---**
    Hey, what time is it?
**[02:21] ---**
    Uh-oh! We forgot about class!
**[02:24] ---**
    You'd better hurry back.
    And do your best to surpass Naruto.
**[02:29] ---**
    Yeah! I'm gonna reach my dream,
    just like you Big Bro!
**[02:31] ---**
    See ya!
**[02:36] ---**
    Dream…huh?
**[04:09] ---**
    *The Last Mission*
    
**[04:15] ---**
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[04:16] ---**
    You're late, Shino!
**[04:18] ---**
    So? How'd it go?
**[04:20] ---**
    It seems just about everyone's
    gotten their wedding gift.
**[04:24] ---**
    Oh yeah? I guess we'd better
    decide soon too.
**[04:28] ---**
    Hey, Shino…
**[04:30] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei said
    this was a mission, right?
**[04:34] ---**
    I understand why Kakashi Sensei and
    the others are putting it that way.
**[04:39] ---**
    But to me,
    this is a serious mission.
**[04:44] ---**
    It's our final mission as Team 8.
**[04:48] ---**
    Team 8's final mission…
**[04:50] ---**
    Once Hinata gets married,
**[04:52] ---**
    we won't get to work together
    like the way we used to, right?
**[04:57] ---**
    Yes…
**[04:59] ---**
    That's true…
**[05:00] ---**
    And I have to get serious
**[05:03] ---**
    if I intend on becoming
    the next Hokage.
**[05:07] ---**
    I can't keep relying on you.
**[05:10] ---**
    Yeah, let's keep it that way.
**[05:12] ---**
    What do you mean by that?!
**[05:15] ---**
    Sorry.
**[05:17] ---**
    In any case, this is for Hinata,
    our last mission as Team 8…
**[05:22] ---**
    Right?
**[05:24] ---**
    Right.
**[05:26] ---**
    The question is…
    what do we get them?
**[05:29] ---**
    – Hmm…
    – Hmm…
**[05:31] ---**
    A gift for Hinata, huh?
**[05:33] ---**
    It's gonna be from us
    to Hinata and Naruto.
**[05:36] ---**
    What would make them happy?
**[05:39] ---**
    Akakiba!
**[05:41] ---**
    Akakiba and Kibamaru!
**[05:43] ---**
    You're mixing up the names…
**[05:46] ---**
    Give me a break, Mirai…
**[05:50] ---**
    Rather than hot tea, I feel like
    relaxing with some shochu.
**[05:54] ---**
    Oh, that's right.
**[05:55] ---**
    Speaking of alcohol,
    have you heard about this story?
**[05:59] ---**
    Back in the day,
    the Senju Clan had a custom of
**[06:02] ---**
    giving honey wine
    as a wedding gift.
**[06:07] ---**
    Long ago, the Senju Clan
    who lived in the forest
**[06:10] ---**
    discovered an unusual liquid
    that was produced by chance
**[06:12] ---**
    from rainwater
    that collected in beehives.
**[06:15] ---**
    And that was
    the start of honey wine.
**[06:18] ---**
    It was a nourishing, yet rare wine.
**[06:20] ---**
    And since the olden days,
**[06:22] ---**
    it's been served only during
    auspicious occasions.
**[06:24] ---**
    Honey wine could be used
    as a medicinal tonic
**[06:27] ---**
    as well as for cooking.
**[06:29] ---**
    Hinata would find
    some good uses for it.
**[06:31] ---**
    She may appreciate
    something like this!
**[06:34] ---**
    And it conveys the wish
    that Hinata and Naruto
**[06:38] ---**
    spend their days in sweetness.
**[06:40] ---**
    That's a cheesy joke.
**[06:42] ---**
    Hinata wouldn't find it funny!
**[06:48] ---**
    It's strange seeing you two
    so lively without Hinata…
**[06:53] ---**
    But I guess you'll get used to it.
**[06:55] ---**
    Anyway, where do we find
    this honey wine?
**[06:59] ---**
    SORAKU
    
    I heard there's a place
    called Soraku.
**[07:02] ---**
    And it seems the beekeeper
    who lives there makes honey wine.
**[07:06] ---**
    Finding people
    is your specialty, right?
**[07:10] ---**
    Okay, it's decided.
**[07:11] ---**
    Let's go find this beekeeper.
**[07:15] ---**
    Bye bye, Kibamaru! Akakiba!
**[07:18] ---**
    It's Team 8's final mission!
**[07:20] ---**
    Let's go, guys!
**[07:23] ---**
    Our last mission, huh?
**[07:32] ---**
    What a desolate place…
**[07:33] ---**
    And it's pretty depressing too.
**[07:36] ---**
    Sorry, it's so depressing, meow.
**[07:42] ---**
    Judging from your headbands,
    you're Hidden Leaf shinobi, meow?
**[07:45] ---**
    You reek of dogs, you reek of bugs,
    and you're a real dog.
**[07:49] ---**
    Damn it, what a sorry bunch, meow.
**[07:53] ---**
    A ninja cat?!
**[07:54] ---**
    We're looking for a beekeeper
    who lives in a place called Soraku.
**[07:58] ---**
    We're not sketchy guys.
**[08:00] ---**
    Meow, you're totally sketchy, meow!
**[08:03] ---**
    I've got nothing to tell you, meow.
**[08:06] ---**
    So that means you know where
    this beekeeper is, right?
**[08:10] ---**
    Okay, how about we catch it
    and get the info out of it?
**[08:14] ---**
    Let's do it, Akamaru!
**[08:17] ---**
    Dumb humans, meow!
**[08:19] ---**
    H-Hey!
**[08:25] ---**
    Insect Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:33] ---**
    Saved!
**[08:35] ---**
    You're gonna mess around with us?!
**[08:37] ---**
    Fine, then…
**[08:39] ---**
    Tadah!
**[08:41] ---**
    Here.
**[08:42] ---**
    What is this?!
**[08:44] ---**
    This is catnip.
**[08:46] ---**
    It's very similar to silver vine.
**[08:49] ---**
    Well?
**[08:50] ---**
    Can't ignore it, can you?
**[08:52] ---**
    Damn it…
**[08:53] ---**
    My pride would never forgive me
**[08:55] ---**
    if I got caught by someone
    who reeks like a dog.
**[08:59] ---**
    Hey!
**[09:00] ---**
    Don't steal it!
    You damn cat!
**[09:04] ---**
    Momo!
**[09:09] ---**
    Who are you guys?
**[09:11] ---**
    How dare you chase after my Momo!
**[09:13] ---**
    Must be that ninja cat's master.
**[09:15] ---**
    Be careful, Kiba, Akamaru!
**[09:17] ---**
    Oh…her name's Momo?
**[09:21] ---**
    Fancy that…
    My dog's name is Akamaru.
**[09:26] ---**
    K-Kiba?
**[09:29] ---**
    By any chance,
    was my cat rude to you?
**[09:33] ---**
    I'm so sorry.
**[09:34] ---**
    No, no… She's a cute ninja cat.
**[09:37] ---**
    Just a minute ago,
    you called me a "damn cat."
**[09:41] ---**
    My name is Tamaki.
**[09:43] ---**
    I'm Kiba…
**[09:45] ---**
    This is my ninja hound, Akamaru.
**[09:47] ---**
    You're a ninja hound user?!
**[09:49] ---**
    Amazing!
**[09:51] ---**
    Oh, it's nothing.
**[09:54] ---**
    Although…I'm on the inside track
    to become the next Hokage.
**[10:01] ---**
    The next Lord Hokage?!
**[10:03] ---**
    What's really amazing!
**[10:04] ---**
    Nah…
**[10:08] ---**
    But what is
    an important person like you
**[10:09] ---**
    doing in a place like this?
**[10:12] ---**
    Actually…
**[10:13] ---**
    Actually…we're looking for
    a beekeeper who lives in Soraku.
**[10:17] ---**
    Would you like me to guide you
    part of the way?
**[10:20] ---**
    You know him?
**[10:21] ---**
    That would be great!
**[10:23] ---**
    Right, Shino?
**[10:32] ---**
    He lives in the bamboo grove
    beyond here.
**[10:35] ---**
    You probably
    won't be able to find him.
**[10:38] ---**
    Even cats get lost
    in this grove, meow.
**[10:40] ---**
    We're shinobi!
**[10:42] ---**
    We won't get lost.
**[10:44] ---**
    Well then, be careful.
**[10:45] ---**
    Yeah! Thanks!
**[11:02] ---**
    Yes, I know.
**[11:07] ---**
    Intruders…
**[11:12] ---**
    First, I'll track him with my nose.
**[11:15] ---**
    And if I find him,
    send in your insects.
**[11:21] ---**
    That girl might be
    talking about us.
**[11:24] ---**
    Are you in love with her?
**[11:25] ---**
    Huh?! Are you crazy?!
**[11:27] ---**
    It's nothing like that!
**[11:29] ---**
    This is a crucial time if I'm gonna
    become the Hokage!
**[11:31] ---**
    I have no time to fall in love!
**[11:34] ---**
    You're easy to read.
**[11:36] ---**
    Huh? What did you say?
**[11:38] ---**
    Nothing. I just said I envy you.
**[11:41] ---**
    Huh? Really?
**[11:46] ---**
    *And I have to get serious*
**[11:49] ---**
    *if I intend to become*
    *the next Hokage.*
**[11:52] ---**
    *Kiba always talks big, and maybe*
    *I viewed him with indifference…*
**[11:59] ---**
    *However…*
**[12:01] ---**
    *What's necessary*
    *to realize a dream?*
**[12:04] ---**
    *I want to take that first step*
    *as soon as I can!*
**[12:07] ---**
    *The first step in*
    *realizing your dream…*
**[12:11] ---**
    *Who am I to criticize anyone?*
**[12:15] ---**
    *Once Hinata gets married,*
**[12:17] ---**
    *we won't get to work together*
    *like the way we used to, right?*
**[12:22] ---**
    *"The way we used to," huh?*
**[12:28] ---**
    Kiba!
**[12:29] ---**
    Hey, Kiba!
**[12:31] ---**
    Where are you?!
**[12:40] ---**
    Really? You guys don't know either?
**[12:44] ---**
    This is definitely someone's jutsu…
**[12:51] ---**
    Yellow jackets?!
**[12:57] ---**
    What is this jutsu?!
**[13:07] ---**
    You belong to the Aburame Clan
    of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[13:10] ---**
    Correct.
**[13:14] ---**
    You're skilled to be able to
    deceive me…
**[13:18] ---**
    But how?
**[13:19] ---**
    The poison should have…
**[13:20] ---**
    The poison got me…
**[13:22] ---**
    But it's not a problem.
**[13:23] ---**
    It's because this amount of poison
    won't kill me.
**[13:27] ---**
    Well now, it's my loss.
    It can't be helped.
**[13:32] ---**
    I'm proud to die by the hand of
    an Insect User of your caliber.
**[13:36] ---**
    No, hold on.
**[13:38] ---**
    I don't want your life.
**[13:41] ---**
    I want your honey wine.
**[13:49] ---**
    Thank you, how much do I owe you?
**[13:51] ---**
    I don't want money.
**[13:52] ---**
    You can take it. It means nothing.
**[13:55] ---**
    I see…
**[13:56] ---**
    Now, if you can tell me
    the road back, I'd be grateful.
**[14:01] ---**
    There is no road.
**[14:04] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[14:06] ---**
    Exactly what I said.
**[14:08] ---**
    This bamboo grove is surrounded by
    something like a barrier.
**[14:12] ---**
    Once you step inside,
    there's no way out.
**[14:15] ---**
    You'll continue to wander through
    an endless fog…that is all…
**[14:19] ---**
    That's the kind of jutsu this is.
**[14:22] ---**
    What?!
**[14:29] ---**
    I'm sorry to tell you that
    this jutsu cannot be broken.
**[14:32] ---**
    Even if you kill me…
**[14:36] ---**
    What do you mean?!
**[14:37] ---**
    Originally, this mist contained
**[14:39] ---**
    a special component
    meant to lead people astray.
**[14:43] ---**
    I incorporated a little of it
    into my jutsu formula…
**[14:50] ---**
    But that can't be why
    you can't break the jutsu?
**[14:53] ---**
    No…
**[14:54] ---**
    But, the nasty thing
    about this jutsu is…
**[14:58] ---**
    …that it takes the doubt inside of
    its victims and turns it into fog,
**[15:00] ---**
    making it thicker and thicker…
**[15:03] ---**
    What?!
**[15:04] ---**
    Haven't you noticed?
**[15:06] ---**
    This bamboo grove
    makes people lose their way…
**[15:08] ---**
    and when the jutsu is used,
**[15:10] ---**
    a thicker fog
    confuses them even more.
**[15:14] ---**
    In other words,
**[15:15] ---**
    this jutsu has no effect on someone
    who has no doubts.
**[15:20] ---**
    So…you're saying I have doubts?
**[15:23] ---**
    *Yeah! I'm gonna reach my dream,*
    *just like you!*
**[15:27] ---**
    *Once Hinata gets married,*
**[15:28] ---**
    *we won't be working together*
    *the way we used to, right?*
**[15:33] ---**
    *It's strange seeing you two*
    *so lively without Hinata…*
**[15:37] ---**
    *But I guess you'll get used to it.*
**[15:40] ---**
    I understand…
**[15:48] ---**
    I've been questioning
    how to live as a shinobi
**[15:52] ---**
    after Team 8 disbands
    when Hinata gets married.
**[15:57] ---**
    To be together always,
    with my friends in Team 8.
**[16:02] ---**
    That was my dream.
**[16:06] ---**
    I see…
**[16:07] ---**
    I was doubting myself…
**[16:11] ---**
    You and I are alike.
**[16:13] ---**
    I'm still lost
    on this path called life.
**[16:17] ---**
    So, how about it?
**[16:19] ---**
    There is doubt,
    but there is no suffering here.
**[16:22] ---**
    I am finally living life now!
**[16:25] ---**
    Your friends understand too!
**[16:28] ---**
    It's okay to have doubts…
**[16:30] ---**
    It's not your fault
    that you have doubts…
**[16:36] ---**
    Kiba… Hinata…
**[16:39] ---**
    It's not necessary to move forward.
**[16:41] ---**
    Abandon it all, and stay here
    with your doubts.
**[16:45] ---**
    If you agree, stay with us…
**[16:49] ---**
    *C'mon, Shino…*
**[16:58] ---**
    *It's Team 8's final mission!*
**[17:00] ---**
    *Let's go, guys!*
**[17:04] ---**
    No…
**[17:06] ---**
    That's not what…I'm looking for…
**[17:10] ---**
    What?
**[17:12] ---**
    What I'm looking for is…
**[17:15] ---**
    What I'm looking for…
**[17:17] ---**
    …is to be with my friend
    who keeps moving forward.
**[17:21] ---**
    Not someone who stays
    in the same place with me!
**[17:25] ---**
    I can't be stuck here like this.
**[17:29] ---**
    I have to return to the village
    right away.
**[17:32] ---**
    It's because…I have to attend
    an important friend's wedding.
**[17:38] ---**
    You think you can find
    your way out of this fog?
**[17:41] ---**
    When you're in so much doubt
    about your life?!
**[17:45] ---**
    Yeah.
**[17:46] ---**
    To make sure he can walk
    his path without worry,
**[17:50] ---**
    I'm definitely gonna
    find my path in life.
**[17:53] ---**
    And I have no doubt about that!
**[18:03] ---**
    An entrance…
**[18:05] ---**
    No, it's the exit.
**[18:12] ---**
    *So, you were able to see*
**[18:14] ---**
    *the path beyond*
    *the guardian deity of travelers.*
**[18:16] ---**
    *I see… Then go quickly.*
**[18:19] ---**
    *Before you lose the path.*
**[18:22] ---**
    Wait… You just said
    you're living life now.
**[18:26] ---**
    But is that really true?
**[18:29] ---**
    *What?*
**[18:30] ---**
    Someone who remains
    stuck in the past,
**[18:32] ---**
    and cannot see the future…
**[18:35] ---**
    Is that really living?
**[18:38] ---**
    I know people
    who live every moment,
**[18:42] ---**
    striving as hard as they could to
    reach a goal that seems so far…
**[18:46] ---**
    They're the ones
    who are really living life.
**[18:49] ---**
    That's my belief…
**[18:51] ---**
    *I'm shocked.*
**[18:52] ---**
    *You're nothing like the quiet man*
    *I thought you were…*
**[18:55] ---**
    *You are very passionate*
    *on the inside.*
**[18:58] ---**
    *I feel like I'm being lectured*
    *by my teacher.*
**[19:01] ---**
    What are you saying?
**[19:02] ---**
    *Now go.*
**[19:03] ---**
    *In time, I will be like you…*
**[19:13] ---**
    Where have you been?!
**[19:15] ---**
    You disappeared suddenly!
**[19:18] ---**
    Sorry.
**[19:19] ---**
    However, I got a hold of this.
**[19:21] ---**
    Whoa! When did you—!
**[19:24] ---**
    I was sure you were lost.
**[19:27] ---**
    Yeah, I was lost.
**[19:29] ---**
    But I've found my way.
**[19:31] ---**
    It's because…
**[19:32] ---**
    Anyway, let's take this home,
    Akamaru!
**[19:38] ---**
    What about that girl?
**[19:40] ---**
    Huh?!
**[19:41] ---**
    Why are you bringing
    that up again?!
**[19:44] ---**
    Sorry.
**[19:45] ---**
    Damn it.
**[19:46] ---**
    Maybe I'll write her.
**[19:49] ---**
    Letters? How unlike you.
**[19:51] ---**
    Huh? Why?!
**[19:53] ---**
    There's nothing wrong with letters.
    Right, Akamaru?!
**[19:57] ---**
    Akamaru, not you too?!
**[20:00] ---**
    Yikes! Bugs again!
**[20:03] ---**
    It's so amazing!
**[20:05] ---**
    Maybe I'll make my goal to
    become an Insect User too.
**[20:07] ---**
    Yeah…
**[20:08] ---**
    I'd better get started too,
    or I won't become the Hokage.
**[20:13] ---**
    You're wrong, kid.
**[20:14] ---**
    You've already taken that step.
**[20:16] ---**
    Huh?
**[20:17] ---**
    It's because…
**[20:22] ---**
    Putting your goal into words…
**[20:24] ---**
    …is the first step towards
    realizing one's dream.
**[20:27] ---**
    I got it!
**[20:28] ---**
    Thanks, Big Bro!
**[20:30] ---**
    Let's go!
**[20:31] ---**
    Tsukune, come on!
**[20:33] ---**
    Yeah!
**[20:38] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[20:39] ---**
    You completely won over
    those bad kids.
**[20:42] ---**
    Maybe you should become a teacher.
**[20:45] ---**
    A teacher?!
**[20:47] ---**
    It's difficult even for us
    to keep up with
**[20:49] ---**
    mischievous kids like that
    year after year.
**[20:52] ---**
    You're quite impressive.
**[20:54] ---**
    It's not that difficult for me.
**[20:57] ---**
    It's because…
**[20:59] ---**
    I've always been around…
**[21:02] ---**
    …the bad kids…
**[21:05] ---**
    11 MORE DAYS
    UNTIL THE WEDDING
    
**[22:40] ---**
    The wedding's coming up soon…
    
    
**[22:42] ---**
    What's wrong Kakashi Sensei?
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    Huh?
    
    
**[22:45] ---**
    I was really happy at first,
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    but when I think about
    the upcoming wedding…
    
    
**[22:49] ---**
    I haven't finished making
    all the rounds to greet people…
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I haven't pinned down
    all of the expenses yet…
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    And I'm worried if everyone
    will make it or not…
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    Everything is just
    making me so anxious!
    
    
**[22:57] ---**

**[01:34] ---**
    Hmm…
**[01:36] ---**
    What a dilemma…
**[01:38] ---**
    What's the matter, Lord Kakashi?
**[01:40] ---**
    Please, drop the "lord"!
**[01:42] ---**
    Anyway, remember the mission
    I assigned everyone?
**[01:45] ---**
    Do I really have to
    assess each thing?
**[01:48] ---**
    Of course!
**[01:50] ---**
    Oink oink.
**[01:52] ---**
    The honey wine's really great,
**[01:54] ---**
    it's perfect for
    a special occasion.
**[01:56] ---**
    You can tell Team 8
    went all out for this.
**[02:00] ---**
    And these gift certificates
    for a dinner
**[02:01] ---**
    and the hot springs vacation
    is very thoughtful!
**[02:04] ---**
    I wasn't expecting this
    from Choji and Shikamaru.
**[02:06] ---**
    They outdid themselves.
**[02:08] ---**
    You can really see
    the girls' personal tastes
**[02:09] ---**
    reflected in their choices.
**[02:11] ---**
    That's just cute…
    but take a look at *this*.
**[02:13] ---**
    NARUTO AND HINATA
    WEDDING GIFT
    MIGHT GUY
    ROCK LEE
    
    That's just cute…
    but take a look at *this*.
**[02:20] ---**
    It's unbelievable, right?
**[02:22] ---**
    Oh, and Konohamaru hasn't even
    turned in a report.
**[02:27] ---**
    I-It turned out well, though.
**[02:30] ---**
    Now they can be the ones on duty
    on the day of the reception.
**[02:33] ---**
    True, if I'm to assess the gifts
    and make my selections,
**[02:36] ---**
    these three should be
    the candidates.
**[02:40] ---**
    But it this really all right?
**[02:43] ---**
    *The Outcome of the Secret Mission*
    
**[02:53] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei?
**[02:58] ---**
    Oh?!
    Hinata! It's been awhile!
**[03:01] ---**
    What's up?
**[03:03] ---**
    I'm meeting up with Sakura
    and the girls. It's been so long.
**[03:06] ---**
    Your last ladies' get-together
    as a single woman, huh?
**[03:10] ---**
    How are your wedding plans going?
**[03:12] ---**
    I take it Naruto's doing okay?
**[03:14] ---**
    Huh? Oh, yes.
**[03:17] ---**
    He's doing really well!
**[03:19] ---**
    Where are you headed,
    Kakashi Sensei?
**[03:22] ---**
    I'm going to take a quick nap.
**[03:24] ---**
    Oh… I'm sorry to have bothered you.
**[03:27] ---**
    Please excuse me!
**[03:28] ---**
    Oh…
**[03:41] ---**
    Hmm…
**[03:43] ---**
    What's the matter, Iruka Sensei?
**[03:46] ---**
    Was the ramen bad?
**[03:48] ---**
    No, no!
    The ramen was delicious!
**[03:51] ---**
    It's not that…
**[03:52] ---**
    I knew you'd be here, Iruka Sensei!
**[03:55] ---**
    K-Konohamaru!
**[03:57] ---**
    This has gone on too long.
**[03:58] ---**
    I really need to get
    your congratulatory message!
**[04:01] ---**
    Otherwise, I can't turn in
    this video as my wedding gift!
**[04:04] ---**
    I'm so sorry!
**[04:06] ---**
    So, is that what
    you're agonizing about?
**[04:08] ---**
    Yes, I can't think of what to say.
**[04:11] ---**
    Well, you're agonizing too much!
**[04:13] ---**
    Get ready,
    I'm gonna record you now!
**[04:16] ---**
    H-Hey, wait!
**[04:19] ---**
    Get it together, Iruka Sensei!
**[04:23] ---**
    Konohamaru's right, Iruka Sensei.
**[04:26] ---**
    How can anyone not know what to
    say in a congratulatory message?
**[04:29] ---**
    You're Naruto's teacher,
    aren't you?!
**[04:32] ---**
    That's the reason why!
**[04:39] ---**
    – That's the reason?
    – That's the reason?
**[04:41] ---**
    Back when Lord Kazekage
    came to Ichiraku…
**[04:45] ---**
    *I'm going to honor Naruto*
    *not as the Kazekage,*
**[04:48] ---**
    *but as his friend.*
**[04:51] ---**
    When I heard that,
**[04:53] ---**
    I began to wonder in what role
    should I celebrate him?
**[04:59] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[05:01] ---**
    What else? You're his teacher.
**[05:05] ---**
    Without a doubt, you may all
    see me as his "teacher."
**[05:09] ---**
    That's right! So, hurry up
    and let me record you,
**[05:11] ---**
    or I can't finish it!
**[05:13] ---**
    Yeah…
**[05:15] ---**
    But I kind of feel like
    it shouldn't be coming from
**[05:18] ---**
    the point of view of
    a teacher to his pupil.
**[05:22] ---**
    I don't even know if it's right
    to do this as his teacher, or not…
**[05:24] ---**
    But I feel Naruto's
    a little different
**[05:26] ---**
    than my other students.
**[05:28] ---**
    And that's why I can't proceed
    as a teacher.
**[05:33] ---**
    And yet, I don't think
    you can call us "friends"
**[05:36] ---**
    in the way Lord Kakashi described.
**[05:40] ---**
    Anyway, the more I think about it,
**[05:43] ---**
    the more unsure I become
    about my message for Naruto.
**[05:47] ---**
    That's for sure…
**[05:49] ---**
    You and Naruto being friends
    doesn't feel quite right.
**[05:53] ---**
    Anyways, I'm gonna charge you
    for that bowl…
**[06:00] ---**
    And? And?
**[06:01] ---**
    Are all the preparations for
    the reception finished?
**[06:04] ---**
    Yes, most of it.
**[06:07] ---**
    Anyways,
**[06:08] ---**
    I'm so surprised the first one
    out of our group to get married
**[06:11] ---**
    are you and Naruto!
**[06:13] ---**
    How is Naruto lately?
**[06:15] ---**
    Is he helping you at all?
**[06:18] ---**
    Of course!
**[06:19] ---**
    More than Naruto,
**[06:21] ---**
    it's my father who keeps telling me
    what I should do.
**[06:24] ---**
    It's true about the father
    of the bride being a pain.
**[06:28] ---**
    I guess planning a wedding
    is a huge task.
**[06:31] ---**
    Of course it is!
**[06:33] ---**
    Even with us…
    Kakashi Sensei gave us that…
**[06:35] ---**
    Ah!
**[06:37] ---**
    Hey, Sakura!
**[06:39] ---**
    What's the big idea—!
**[06:42] ---**
    *Even with us, Kakashi Sensei*
    *gave us* that mission*…*
**[06:45] ---**
    *Damn it!*
**[06:46] ---**
    – Oh!
    – Oh!
**[06:48] ---**
    – Ah! Ah!
    – Ah! Ah!
**[06:55] ---**
    What about Kakashi Sensei?
**[06:57] ---**
    – Huh?!
    – Huh?!
**[06:59] ---**
    – Er…um…
    – Er…um…
**[07:01] ---**
    He's going through a lot trying to
    wrap up all the missions
**[07:02] ---**
    before the wedding.
**[07:03] ---**
    That's all.
**[07:05] ---**
    Yeah!
**[07:06] ---**
    And unlike us, you already
    have Naruto, so you're lucky.
**[07:10] ---**
    That's all.
    Yeah, that's right!
**[07:14] ---**
    Well, I guess so.
**[07:15] ---**
    So? So?
    Are you going to wear a kimono?
**[07:19] ---**
    You're gonna look so pretty
    as a bride!
**[07:22] ---**
    Yeah, yeah!
**[07:24] ---**
    Hey, Hinata!
**[07:30] ---**
    Long time no see!
**[07:32] ---**
    Kiba, Shino!
**[07:35] ---**
    Have you been doing all right?
**[07:36] ---**
    Yeah! You two seem great as well!
**[07:39] ---**
    Of course, since we'll soon be
    celebrating your wedding soon.
**[07:43] ---**
    It's because…
**[07:44] ---**
    How's Naruto doing?!
    We rarely see him these days.
**[07:48] ---**
    I guess he's busy getting ready
    for the big day.
**[07:53] ---**
    Yes.
**[07:54] ---**
    Naruto's busy with his missions,
**[07:56] ---**
    but he's been helping a lot
    with the reception.
**[07:58] ---**
    He's really dependable.
**[07:59] ---**
    Oh, yeah?
**[08:00] ---**
    Well, we're completing
    a huge mission
**[08:02] ---**
    and we're gonna make you happy…
**[08:04] ---**
    Kiba!
**[08:05] ---**
    Huh?
**[08:06] ---**
    Oh!
**[08:09] ---**
    Make me what?
**[08:12] ---**
    Anyways…
**[08:13] ---**
    What he means is you and Naruto
    will definitely make a happy home!
**[08:18] ---**
    We're looking forward
    to the reception!
**[08:21] ---**
    Oh, thank you.
**[08:31] ---**
    MISSION REPORTS
    
**[08:44] ---**
    Lady Tsunade!
**[08:48] ---**
    It's been a while, Shizune!
    How have you been?
**[08:52] ---**
    Great, thank you!
**[08:54] ---**
    How has your wagering
    been going lately?
**[08:57] ---**
    There's Naruto and Hinata's
    upcoming wedding,
**[08:59] ---**
    so I'm not spending excessively.
**[09:01] ---**
    That is a wise decision.
**[09:04] ---**
    Anyway, what did you
    want to discuss?
**[09:07] ---**
    Yes…
    Actually, it's about Lord Kakashi…
**[09:10] ---**
    Kakashi?
    What's the matter with Lord Sixth?
**[09:16] ---**
    *I have no choice…*
**[09:18] ---**
    *I don't have footage*
    *of Iruka Sensei,*
**[09:20] ---**
    *but I'll report this as*
    *my wedding gift for the time being.*
**[09:24] ---**
    Wedding gift items?!
**[09:26] ---**
    Yes, in addition to shinobi
    gathering for the reception,
**[09:29] ---**
    there's the standing rule
**[09:30] ---**
    to assess the gifts everyone
    will be presenting
**[09:32] ---**
    in order to determine who will
    be attending the wedding, correct?
**[09:35] ---**
    I remember that rule…
**[09:37] ---**
    Lord Kakashi has been
    in a dilemma about
**[09:42] ---**
    how he will judge and
    who he will eliminate.
**[09:49] ---**
    *When you think about it,*
**[09:50] ---**
    *having anyone*
    *not being able to attend,*
**[09:54] ---**
    *will make Naruto and Hinata*
    *very sad.*
**[09:57] ---**
    And yet, someone still has to go on
    missions and be on guard that day.
**[10:02] ---**
    He's worrying about that?!
**[10:04] ---**
    Damn it.
**[10:06] ---**
    *This is really bad!*
**[10:19] ---**
    Everyone's acting a little weird.
**[10:22] ---**
    Hey! I'm not lying!
**[10:25] ---**
    Our gifts will be judged
    to determine
**[10:27] ---**
    who can attend the reception?
**[10:29] ---**
    What's the meaning of this?
**[10:30] ---**
    I don't get it at all!
**[10:33] ---**
    Please stop!
    I'm not to blame for this!
**[10:38] ---**
    This is the worst!
**[10:40] ---**
    Well…it's like this…
**[10:44] ---**
    Most shinobi of the village
**[10:46] ---**
    WEDDING RECEPTION
    RECEPTION HALL
    
    will attend
    Naruto and Hinata's reception.
**[10:50] ---**
    THE VILLAGE HIDDEN
    IN THE LEAVES
    
    That said, it doesn't mean that
    we won't have missions on that day.
**[10:54] ---**
    THE VILLAGE HIDDEN
    IN THE LEAVES
    
    
    We'll need people on duty.
**[10:57] ---**
    Plus, we'll have important guests.
**[10:59] ---**
    And it'll be crucial
    to have sufficient security
**[11:01] ---**
    for the reception.
**[11:03] ---**
    That's right.
**[11:04] ---**
    Many of Naruto and Hinata's friends
    are top-ranked jonin.
**[11:09] ---**
    So, what does that mean?
**[11:11] ---**
    We'll have to draw lots to see
    who can attend the wedding?!
**[11:16] ---**
    No way!
    If that's the case,
**[11:18] ---**
    we won't be able to
    truly celebrate with the couple!
**[11:20] ---**
    *I didn't think our wedding would*
    *cause so much trouble…*
**[11:25] ---**
    It seems this is troubling
    Kakashi Sensei as well.
**[11:28] ---**
    I see how it would.
**[11:29] ---**
    Why did it turn into
    such a big affair?
**[11:32] ---**
    Naruto's someone who connects
    the entire village.
**[11:36] ---**
    So, I guess it would
    turn into a big deal.
**[11:37] ---**
    So, we just sit and wait
    until the final judgement?
**[11:40] ---**
    There's no need for that.
**[11:42] ---**
    I'll do the dirty work,
    and that'll be that.
**[11:45] ---**
    Yes! I want everyone
    to attend the reception, so…
**[11:48] ---**
    I'll volunteer for duty!
**[11:50] ---**
    That's right! I'll do it too!
**[11:52] ---**
    Fine, I'll sign me up too.
**[11:54] ---**
    That's not right!
**[11:56] ---**
    If Team 8 isn't there,
    Hinata will be sad.
**[11:59] ---**
    But, I'm not okay with someone
    missing the reception
**[12:03] ---**
    just so we can.
**[12:05] ---**
    We feel the same way.
**[12:22] ---**
    Now then,
    sleeping won't solve anything.
**[12:29] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[12:35] ---**
    Kakashi Sensei!
**[12:36] ---**
    I'm so sorry!
**[12:38] ---**
    Huh?
**[12:39] ---**
    What?
**[12:40] ---**
    W-What's wrong, Hinata?
**[12:42] ---**
    What happened?
**[12:44] ---**
    I just heard…
**[12:45] ---**
    The dilemma you're going through,
    all because our wedding reception.
**[12:49] ---**
    Huh? What?
    What's this about?
**[12:52] ---**
    You haven't decided
    who can attend on that day, right?
**[12:55] ---**
    What? You heard?
**[12:58] ---**
    Yes!
**[12:58] ---**
    About the mission too?
**[13:00] ---**
    Yes.
**[13:00] ---**
    Everything?
**[13:02] ---**
    Yes.
**[13:03] ---**
    I see…
**[13:06] ---**
    We would never want to
    put anyone through any trouble,
**[13:09] ---**
    just to celebrate our wedding day.
**[13:12] ---**
    No, no, no, no!
**[13:14] ---**
    We have to have a reception
    for you two!
**[13:18] ---**
    Then is it possible, at least…
**[13:20] ---**
    …to have the Hyuga Clan fulfill
    the missions and guard duty
**[13:23] ---**
    for that day?
**[13:26] ---**
    There's no need for that!
**[13:27] ---**
    Huh?!
**[13:28] ---**
    The day of your wedding
    is a happy day
**[13:31] ---**
    for your clan too, right?
**[13:34] ---**
    It's my duty as the Hokage
    to make sure
**[13:36] ---**
    every member of your family
    is there for you.
**[13:40] ---**
    I…see.
**[13:42] ---**
    I'll do something about
    duty assignments.
**[13:46] ---**
    So don't worry about anything.
**[13:49] ---**
    All right.
**[13:50] ---**
    Focus on yourselves, that's all.
**[13:55] ---**
    Oops, I'd better get back!
**[13:57] ---**
    See you!
**[14:01] ---**
    What?!
    What's going on, you guys?
**[14:05] ---**
    We heard.
**[14:06] ---**
    About Naruto and Hinata's
    reception…
**[14:08] ---**
    And that some of us
    won't be able to attend.
**[14:10] ---**
    And the mission
    to find the wedding gifts
**[14:13] ---**
    was in order to assess them.
**[14:15] ---**
    I see… So, you all found out too.
**[14:18] ---**
    And also, that you've been
    agonizing over this.
**[14:21] ---**
    It's my job as the Hokage.
**[14:23] ---**
    And what about it?
**[14:25] ---**
    You're here to oppose?
**[14:27] ---**
    No, actually the opposite!
**[14:29] ---**
    What?
**[14:30] ---**
    Everyone here will handle
    the assignments.
**[14:33] ---**
    But if you do that,
**[14:34] ---**
    Naruto and Hinata
    are sure to be sad.
**[14:37] ---**
    That's why we're all going to
    the wedding reception.
**[14:41] ---**
    What do you mean?
**[14:43] ---**
    Simply put, we'll make a schedule
    of assignments and guard duty,
**[14:46] ---**
    and work in shifts.
**[14:48] ---**
    If everyone puts in some time,
    everyone can wish them well!
**[14:52] ---**
    Helping each other out
    is something Naruto taught us.
**[14:58] ---**
    Well?
**[14:59] ---**
    This way, you won't have to
    bear the all the burden,
**[15:00] ---**
    right Kakashi Sensei?
**[15:02] ---**
    You guys…
**[15:04] ---**
    Thank you!
**[15:05] ---**
    But if we do this,
    we'll have to change the rule.
**[15:08] ---**
    Don't worry.
**[15:09] ---**
    Through hell or high water,
    I'll think of something.
**[15:12] ---**
    You'll drown…
**[15:15] ---**
    Besides, there won't be a need
    for all that.
**[15:17] ---**
    Lady Tsunade.
**[15:18] ---**
    Lord Sixth…
**[15:20] ---**
    Actually that rule
    was put into effect
**[15:23] ---**
    when there was a sudden
    upswing in weddings…
**[15:27] ---**
    …and there was
    a serious shortage of manpower.
**[15:31] ---**
    In addition, that was during
    the Great Ninja War.
**[15:34] ---**
    The situation is different today.
**[15:37] ---**
    And more importantly,
    the present Hokage is you, Kakashi.
**[15:42] ---**
    Don't get caught up in old rules.
**[15:44] ---**
    Choose the path that you believe
    is most fair and just.
**[15:48] ---**
    Then you'll choose to
    let us all work, right?
**[15:52] ---**
    That won't do.
**[15:53] ---**
    Why not?!
**[15:56] ---**
    My job is
**[15:57] ---**
    to ensure that anyone who wants to
    celebrate with Naruto and Hinata,
**[16:00] ---**
    is able to attend.
**[16:03] ---**
    I won't allow any early departures
    or any late arrivals.
**[16:04] ---**
    But there's no way around it.
**[16:07] ---**
    I'll do something.
**[16:24] ---**
    Hinata?
**[16:26] ---**
    If it isn't Hinata!
**[16:31] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[16:36] ---**
    What?!
**[16:37] ---**
    Did Naruto do something?!
**[16:41] ---**
    Huh?
**[16:44] ---**
    Forgive me, Hinata!
**[16:45] ---**
    I never taught him about
    how to treat women!
**[16:49] ---**
    I mean, I don't even know
    about that kind of thing!
**[16:57] ---**
    I don't know what happened,
    but please…
**[16:59] ---**
    For me…
**[17:00] ---**
    Please forgive Naruto!
**[17:04] ---**
    I beg of you!
**[17:13] ---**
    What's so funny?
**[17:15] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[17:18] ---**
    I didn't say anything,
**[17:20] ---**
    but you decided that Naruto
    must've done something bad
**[17:24] ---**
    and started to apologize…
**[17:26] ---**
    Oh? That's not it?
**[17:34] ---**
    It didn't even cross my mind
    that having a wedding
**[17:39] ---**
    would trouble so many people.
**[17:41] ---**
    But thinking back on this,
    I guess I should have known.
**[17:45] ---**
    It's not just for us…
**[17:49] ---**
    but Naruto's a hero that connects
    every village together.
**[17:54] ---**
    I was probably being naïve
**[17:56] ---**
    just thinking about marrying
    the man I'd loved for so long.
**[18:00] ---**
    You're wrong, Hinata!
**[18:02] ---**
    Huh?
**[18:10] ---**
    No matter how great he becomes,
**[18:12] ---**
    no matter how big a hero
    he becomes,
**[18:14] ---**
    Naruto will always be Naruto…
**[18:16] ---**
    To me and to everyone.
**[18:22] ---**
    Iruka Sensei…
**[18:24] ---**
    Nothing will change our desire to
    wish the best for you and Naruto…
**[18:27] ---**
    So, don't think of it
    as a big fuss.
**[18:31] ---**
    Yes!
**[18:37] ---**
    I see…
**[18:39] ---**
    I feel bad for
    what I put Hinata through.
**[18:42] ---**
    I'm sorry too, Iruka Sensei.
**[18:43] ---**
    Oh no, I understand how
    Hinata feels too.
**[18:47] ---**
    Naruto's someone that connects
    everyone in every village together.
**[18:52] ---**
    Every village…
**[18:59] ---**
    Thank you, Iruka Sensei!
**[19:00] ---**
    I know what I have to do!
**[19:03] ---**
    Huh? What do you mean?
**[19:06] ---**
    I just have to
    bow my head a little, that's all.
**[19:09] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[19:10] ---**
    I know you're in there!
**[19:13] ---**
    At this rate, I'll be the only one
    without a wedding gift!
**[19:19] ---**
    What is it?
**[19:22] ---**
    Now that Hinata's found out about
    the wedding gifts from everyone…
**[19:27] ---**
    it's no longer a surprise.
**[19:29] ---**
    So Konohamaru, I think
    I'm going to put you to work!
**[19:33] ---**
    Huh? Huh?
**[19:35] ---**
    What is it?
**[19:39] ---**
    WIND
    
**[19:42] ---**
    And so,
**[19:43] ---**
    would it be possible to dispatch
    some Hidden Sand shinobi
**[19:46] ---**
    on the day of the wedding?
**[19:51] ---**
    I kindly implore you.
**[19:54] ---**
    Please raise your head, Lord Sixth.
**[19:57] ---**
    The Raikage, Tsuchikage
    and Mizukage,
**[19:59] ---**
    and I have all been thinking about
    what we can do.
**[20:02] ---**
    We didn't want to overdo things…
**[20:05] ---**
    I plan on celebrating with them
    personally as Naruto's friend,
**[20:08] ---**
    but I also wanted to do something
    as the Kazekage.
**[20:12] ---**
    Now then, we'll gladly cooperate.
**[20:16] ---**
    This is all possible because of
    the peaceful bond that was forged…
**[20:20] ---**
    And it was through
    Naruto's strength.
**[20:22] ---**
    It's only fitting that we help
    to make Naruto's wedding
**[20:26] ---**
    a great success.
**[20:28] ---**
    Thank you very much.
**[20:29] ---**
    Then may I be so bold
    as to ask for one more favor?
**[20:33] ---**
    What is it? Please tell me.
**[20:38] ---**
    Konohamaru! Come here!
**[20:40] ---**
    Yes, sir!
**[20:47] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Oh, a video message!
    Gaara, say something!
**[20:51] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Say what?
**[20:53] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    Like a proverb or something!
**[20:55] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    I can't come up with
    something just like that!
**[20:57] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    Come on! You're no Kazekage if
    you can't come up with a proverb!
**[21:01] ---**
    RECORDING
    
    
    That's right.
**[21:05] ---**
    6 MORE DAYS
    UNTIL THE WEDDING
    
**[22:40] ---**
    I didn't have any parents either,
    no one acknowledged me.
    
    
**[22:44] ---**
    I did a lot of stupid stuff
    to get attention.
    
    
**[22:47] ---**
    Naruto, I think we were
    very much alike.
    
    
**[22:51] ---**
    I was your teacher back then,
    
    
**[22:53] ---**
    and at times,
    it felt like we were brothers.
    
    
**[22:55] ---**
    But now, you're a shinobi hero.
    
    
**[22:58] ---**
    You've really come far…
    
    
**[23:01] ---**

**[00:07] ---**
    Iruka…
**[00:09] ---**
    What is it, Lord Hokage?
**[00:14] ---**
    I know how you feel.
**[00:17] ---**
    You grew up just like him…
    without a parent's love.
**[00:22] ---**
    Huh? Who could it be at this hour?
**[00:26] ---**
    Mizuki Sensei!
**[00:28] ---**
    What's wrong?
**[00:29] ---**
    Please come to
    Lord Hokage's office!
**[00:31] ---**
    It seems Naruto pulled a prank
    and stole the Sacred Scroll!
**[00:34] ---**
    What?!
**[00:36] ---**
    It's been over half a day
    since the scroll was taken.
**[00:39] ---**
    Find Naruto immediately!
**[00:43] ---**
    Naruto!
**[00:44] ---**
    Hurry! Give me the scroll now!
**[00:47] ---**
    Mizuki's after the scroll!
**[01:01] ---**
    Why…Naruto?
**[01:04] ---**
    How did you know that
    I wasn't Iruka?
**[01:11] ---**
    I'm Iruka…
**[01:14] ---**
    He's a superior student
    that I acknowledge.
**[01:18] ---**
    He perseveres and
    he's earnest,
**[01:20] ---**
    but he's clumsy
    and no one accepts him.
**[01:25] ---**
    He knows what human suffering is.
**[01:29] ---**
    He is no longer
    the monster fox.
**[01:31] ---**
    He's Hidden Leaf's—!
**[01:36] ---**
    That was a dream?
**[01:38] ---**
    *The Message*
    
    
**[03:15] ---**
    
**[03:16] ---**
    THE THIRD HOKAGE
    
    Iruka Sensei, what's this all about?
**[03:18] ---**
    THE THIRD HOKAGE
    
    Remember, you recorded me before?
**[03:23] ---**
    Huh? Oh yeah…
**[03:25] ---**
    – That boring message with no style or punch?
    – *Naruto, Hinata…*
**[03:27] ---**
    *Congratulations on your marriage.*
**[03:28] ---**
    C'mon, don't say that.
    Could you just use that one?
**[03:32] ---**
    But you said you wanted
    to re-do it,
**[03:36] ---**
    so I've been waiting around
    this whole time!
**[03:38] ---**
    I'm sorry about that.
**[03:40] ---**
    But the more I think about it,
**[03:42] ---**
    the less sure I am about
    what to say to Naruto.
**[03:45] ---**
    But you held out for so long,
**[03:48] ---**
    so you should just
    make up your mind
**[03:50] ---**
    and send him a cool,
    heartfelt message, okay?
**[03:51] ---**
    You're the only one left!
**[03:54] ---**
    I'm sorry. I'll treat to you
    a bowl of ramen next time,
**[03:57] ---**
    so please forgive me!
**[03:58] ---**
    Okay?
**[03:59] ---**
    Hey! Tsukune, Sansho, Mibuna!
**[04:02] ---**
    You were messing around with
    the Third Hokage's statue again, weren't you?!
**[04:09] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    
**[04:10] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    I can't believe it's almost next week…
**[04:12] ---**
    Naruto's wedding.
**[04:14] ---**
    Will you be making
    an official congratulatory speech?
**[04:18] ---**
    Oh no… I think Lord Hokage
    will be taking care of that.
**[04:29] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[04:32] ---**
    Oh, you're Ichiraku's—!
**[04:33] ---**
    Is anything the matter?
**[04:35] ---**
    You haven't been around
    at all lately.
**[04:37] ---**
    Oh, I just wanted to hold off
    until I figured out
**[04:40] ---**
    what to say for the message
    that Konohamaru asked me to do.
**[04:43] ---**
    I have to practice some self-restraint.
**[04:46] ---**
    So…Did you finish your message?
**[04:49] ---**
    Well…uh…
**[04:52] ---**
    I'll stop by again soon.
**[04:55] ---**
    Please say hello to your dad.
**[05:03] ---**
    What? That's easy!
**[05:06] ---**
    Then can you jump to here?!
**[05:10] ---**
    Oww!
**[05:12] ---**
    I knew it.
**[05:13] ---**
    Shut up!
**[05:13] ---**
    I won't lose at fence-jumping though!
**[05:15] ---**
    *It's all thanks to you.*
**[05:18] ---**
    *You acknowledged me back then.*
**[05:23] ---**
    *That was the first time.*
**[05:25] ---**
    *That's why,*
    *I am who I am today.*
**[05:30] ---**
    *I was able to change.*
**[05:33] ---**
    *Naruto expressed*
    *his feelings so directly.*
**[05:38] ---**
    *What am I doing?*
**[05:54] ---**
    Oh man…
**[05:55] ---**
    I really shouldn't do things
    I'm not used to!
**[06:01] ---**
    Huh?
**[06:03] ---**
    Yes?
**[06:10] ---**
    Naruto!
**[06:12] ---**
    H-Hey, Iruka Sensei…
**[06:15] ---**
    W-What's wrong?
**[06:18] ---**
    Nothing. It's…well…
**[06:21] ---**
    I was thinking about you.
**[06:24] ---**
    And I just stopped by
    to see if you were alive!
**[06:27] ---**
    What the hell's that about?
**[06:28] ---**
    You know,
    I'm gonna be getting married.
**[06:31] ---**
    And you're still single and all,
**[06:33] ---**
    so I was worried about you
    being alone.
**[06:34] ---**
    I'm coming in!
**[06:36] ---**
    Hey, wait! I'm in the middle of…
**[06:39] ---**
    What happened?
**[06:41] ---**
    Uh, just some stuff.
**[06:43] ---**
    But what about you?
    What's going on?
**[06:46] ---**
    Uh…well…
**[06:48] ---**
    Oh yeah! R-Ramen!
**[06:50] ---**
    Want to go get some ramen?
**[06:51] ---**
    Ramen?
**[06:53] ---**
    Actually, I'm making dinner
    right now.
**[06:56] ---**
    Oh, that explains
    this crime scene right here.
**[06:58] ---**
    Y-Yeah…
**[07:00] ---**
    You really should hurry up
    and get married, Iruka Sensei!
**[07:03] ---**
    Shut up!
**[07:04] ---**
    What about you?
**[07:05] ---**
    Are you sure you should
    be neglecting Hinata right now?
**[07:08] ---**
    "Neglecting"?
**[07:09] ---**
    We're not married yet,
    so don't worry about it.
**[07:13] ---**
    Don't worry about it?
**[07:15] ---**
    My single days are numbered!
**[07:17] ---**
    I'm gonna have fun
    with everything I've got—
**[07:19] ---**
    You fool!
**[07:22] ---**
    Do you even have a clue about
**[07:25] ---**
    how hard Hinata is working,
    preparing for your wedding?!
**[07:28] ---**
    What's wrong, Iruka Sensei?
**[07:31] ---**
    It seems there were a lot of things
**[07:33] ---**
    I failed to teach you
    on how to be a human!
**[07:36] ---**
    I take full responsibility!
**[07:40] ---**
    Come with me!
**[07:41] ---**
    I'm gonna knock some sense
    into you!
**[07:42] ---**
    Huh?
**[07:44] ---**
    Where are we going, Iruka Sensei?!
**[07:46] ---**
    To Hinata's!
**[07:48] ---**
    I'm going to apologize to her
**[07:50] ---**
    for raising you into such
    a thoughtless man.
**[07:53] ---**
    Please stop!
**[07:55] ---**
    If Hinata's around,
    I won't be able to say
**[07:57] ---**
    what I wanted to talk to you about!
**[07:59] ---**
    What do you want to talk about?
**[08:01] ---**
    T-That's why I thought
    we could have some ramen,
**[08:04] ---**
    and you could have
    a drink or two…
**[08:08] ---**
    and we could have
    an enjoyable conversation and
**[08:11] ---**
    have some fun.
**[08:12] ---**
    Enough.
**[08:17] ---**
    I guess I didn't need to mull over
**[08:19] ---**
    what to say and
    how to congratulate you.
**[08:31] ---**
    I have a request…
**[08:35] ---**
    A request?
**[08:42] ---**
    Will you attend the ceremony
    as my father?
**[08:49] ---**
    Naruto…?
**[08:51] ---**
    Is that what you wanted
    to talk about?
**[09:15] ---**
    You can leave it to me!
**[09:18] ---**
    Iruka Sensei!
**[09:23] ---**
    Thank you.
**[09:25] ---**
    What are you talking about, Naruto?
**[09:28] ---**
    I should be saying that.
    Thank you!
**[09:32] ---**
    Cut it out.
**[09:34] ---**
    See you later, Iruka Sensei!
**[09:37] ---**
    Yeah!
**[09:49] ---**
    ICHIRAKU
    
    
**[09:52] ---**
    Good evening…
**[09:54] ---**
    – Hey!
    – Oh…
**[09:55] ---**
    – Welcome!
    – What's going on?
**[09:57] ---**
    Something troublin' you again?
**[10:00] ---**
    Huh? No…
**[10:02] ---**
    I was just thinking about how glad
    I am I chose this profession.
**[10:06] ---**
    I see.
**[10:07] ---**
    So, what'll you have today?
**[10:09] ---**
    Oh! A large miso char siu ramen topped
    with naruto fishcake.
**[10:14] ---**
    One large miso char siu ramen!
**[10:17] ---**
    Okay, one large-size miso
    char siu ramen coming right up!
**[10:31] ---**
    Hinata!
**[10:33] ---**
    Iruka Sensei?
**[10:35] ---**
    How are the preparations going?
**[10:37] ---**
    Just about all done.
**[10:38] ---**
    Now, we just have to wait
    for the big day.
**[10:40] ---**
    That's good.
**[10:42] ---**
    Anyway, I…
    have something to tell you.
**[10:45] ---**
    It's about the wedding ceremony…
**[10:48] ---**
    You're going to attend
    as Naruto's father, aren't you?
**[10:52] ---**
    Oh, you knew?
**[10:55] ---**
    Yeah, of course you would!
**[10:57] ---**
    Seems it was on Naruto's mind
    for a long time.
**[11:01] ---**
    You're definitely
    Naruto's teacher, Iruka Sensei.
**[11:05] ---**
    But he didn't want to consider
    your relationship
**[11:07] ---**
    simply as a "student-teacher"
    or "mentor" relationship.
**[11:10] ---**
    Huh?!
**[11:11] ---**
    *But I kind of feel like*
    *it shouldn't be coming*
**[11:14] ---**
    *from the point of view*
    *of a teacher to his student.*
**[11:17] ---**
    *Naruto was thinking*
    *the same thing as I was.*
**[11:22] ---**
    And so, his answer was to ask me
    to attend as his father.
**[11:27] ---**
    Yes.
**[11:29] ---**
    And so, please continue
    to support him, Father!
**[11:36] ---**
    Y-Yes…
**[11:38] ---**
    It's sort of embarrassing
    to be asked so formally.
**[11:46] ---**
    So anyway…
**[11:50] ---**
    What is this?
**[11:52] ---**
    It's not much, but please put it
    toward the reception fees.
**[11:55] ---**
    What?!
**[11:56] ---**
    Naruto asked me to stand in
    as his father.
**[11:59] ---**
    I have to do this much, at least.
**[12:01] ---**
    Please don't worry about that!
**[12:04] ---**
    Please!
**[12:05] ---**
    I-Is that so?
**[12:08] ---**
    I guess I'll just have to
    accept your answer
**[12:11] ---**
    and wait for the big day.
**[12:13] ---**
    I wish I could've done something
    fatherly though…
**[12:18] ---**
    W-What is it?
**[12:21] ---**
    You look just like my father,
    with that expression.
**[12:25] ---**
    You're already acting like
    the father of the groom.
**[12:27] ---**
    Y-You think so?
**[12:35] ---**
    3…2…
**[12:38] ---**
    1…
**[12:39] ---**
    Rolling!
**[12:42] ---**

**[12:46] ---**
    Naruto!
**[12:52] ---**
    What's the matter, Iruka Sensei?
**[12:54] ---**
    Lost for words again?
**[12:56] ---**
    Oh, sorry, sorry.
**[12:58] ---**
    This time, I'll do it right!
**[12:59] ---**
    So can I start over,
    just one more time?
**[13:07] ---**
    A PERFECT DAY

    Congratulations!
**[13:19] ---**
    Do your best!
**[13:21] ---**
    Don't gorge yourself on
    delicious home-cooked meals!
**[13:23] ---**
    Congratulations.
**[13:24] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[13:25] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS
    ON YOUR WEDDING!
    
    Mr. Naruto! Miss Hinata!
    Congratulations!
**[13:32] ---**
    Congratulations on your wedding!
**[13:34] ---**
    Stop by once in a while for
    miso char siu ramen, okay?
**[13:37] ---**
    Congratulations, you two.
**[13:39] ---**
    Congratulations!
**[13:40] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING!
    LEAF'S UNOFFICIAL MASCOT CONGRATULATIONS
    
    Naruto, Miss Hinata…
    A lot of things have happened,
**[13:43] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING!
    
    
    
    but congratulations on your wedding.
**[13:44] ---**
    Big Brother Naruto, you did it!
**[13:47] ---**
    I'm gonna do my best too!
**[13:49] ---**
    Naruto Uzumaki,
    congratulations on your wedding.
**[13:51] ---**
    Dear Naruto, do your best.
**[13:53] ---**
    Yeah!
**[13:56] ---**
    FIRE
    
**[13:59] ---**
    Naruto, Hinata…
    Congratulations on your wedding!
**[14:02] ---**
    Help each other and may you
    have long lasting happiness!
**[14:07] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    
    
**[14:10] ---**
    NINJA ACADEMY
    
    
    Naruto! Hinata!
    Congratulations on your wedding!
**[14:13] ---**
    Hinata, Naruto is absent-minded
    and reckless
**[14:17] ---**
    and will need your support.
**[14:19] ---**
    I ask you to
    please take care of him!
**[14:23] ---**
    Naruto, I just have this
    to say to you…
**[14:25] ---**
    You better make Hinata happy!
**[14:30] ---**
    Okay! That was perfect!
**[14:37] ---**
    Phew…
**[14:38] ---**
    It went without a hitch!
**[14:46] ---**
    UZUMAKI-HYUGA WEDDING RECEPTION
    
**[14:52] ---**
    Uh…
**[14:53] ---**
    Could you get
    the receiving desk set up?
**[14:56] ---**
    Lord Kakashi!
**[14:58] ---**
    Like I said, drop the "lord."
**[15:01] ---**
    The Lords Kage have arrived.
**[15:03] ---**
    Huh? Already?!
**[15:05] ---**
    Shall I escort them?
**[15:07] ---**
    Yes. It's rude to keep them waiting.
**[15:10] ---**
    Huh?
**[15:11] ---**
    Hey, Kazekage entourage!
**[15:13] ---**
    We're the Lightning entourage…
    Here to give our wedding blessings.
**[15:17] ---**
    So forget the past…
    Let's be friends 'til the last.
**[15:19] ---**
    Of course!
**[15:21] ---**
    I don't feel like fighting
    like brats anymore.
**[15:23] ---**
    Oh say, see my gift
    and be surprised
**[15:26] ---**
    Even the couple will rapturize.
**[15:28] ---**
    Enough already!
**[15:31] ---**
    The reception desk is now open.
**[15:34] ---**
    – Hey, where'd Temari go?
    – Please sign in, in order of arrival.
**[15:36] ---**
    I haven't seen her since we came.
**[15:38] ---**
    EBISU
    
**[15:41] ---**
    How much are you giving them,
    Ebisu Sensei?
**[15:44] ---**
    Well, it's accepted etiquette
    for working adults like us
**[15:46] ---**
    to give about…
**[15:48] ---**
    Huh?!
**[15:48] ---**
    It's okay to give that little?
**[15:50] ---**
    I put five bills in my envelope.
**[15:52] ---**
    What?!
**[15:53] ---**
    Did you say five?!
**[15:56] ---**
    *I'll lose face as a teacher.*
**[15:58] ---**
    You mean, our wedding gift?
**[16:00] ---**
    We'll be giving…
**[16:02] ---**
    FREE NARUTO FISHCAKE TOPPING
    
    …this!
**[16:04] ---**
    Not that one, Dad!
**[16:06] ---**
    Huh? Oh…this one.
**[16:09] ---**
    Seriously?
**[16:11] ---**
    Now listen, Lee!
**[16:12] ---**
    When we honor people,
    we hone our mind and spirit.
**[16:15] ---**
    That's what a reception's for!
**[16:17] ---**
    What you mean is, to
    never forget to train, even at a party!
**[16:20] ---**
    Naturally!
**[16:22] ---**
    Look, people are staring like
    you're weird, so will you cut it out?
**[16:24] ---**
    We'll start with dumbbell juggling!
    Let's go!
**[16:27] ---**
    Yes, Guy Sensei!
**[16:32] ---**
    What a day! What a joyous day!
**[16:35] ---**
    Yes! This training is especially joyous!
**[16:37] ---**
    You two have too much joy
    in your heads!
**[16:42] ---**
    So? Did you get a hold
    of the honey wine?
**[16:44] ---**
    Of course!
**[16:46] ---**
    We're gonna tell Naruto about
    the history of the Senju Clan.
**[16:50] ---**
    You're that versed in history
    to do that?
**[16:53] ---**
    Huh?! Well, yeah…
**[16:56] ---**
    Why don't you run it by me first?
**[16:58] ---**
    Well, that's…uh.
**[17:00] ---**
    Giddy up!
**[17:01] ---**
    Run!
**[17:03] ---**
    Mirai, what are you doing?
**[17:04] ---**
    Playing horsey-back!
**[17:06] ---**
    Akamaru is a dog.
**[17:08] ---**
    You can't ride a dog and
    call it horsey-back riding.
**[17:11] ---**
    Then, doggie-back riding!
**[17:13] ---**
    True, it is doggie-back riding.
    But Akamaru looks a little tired.
**[17:17] ---**
    You might want to come down.
**[17:19] ---**
    It's because…
**[17:20] ---**
    No! I wanna ride some more!
**[17:22] ---**
    I guess I have no choice.
**[17:25] ---**
    Let's go Shino-back riding, then.
**[17:28] ---**
    – Was Shino always that good with little kids?
    – Higher! Higher!
**[17:31] ---**
    Seems he thinks he might
    be suited to teaching.
**[17:37] ---**
    What are you smiling about?
**[17:40] ---**
    Who said I was smiling?
**[17:42] ---**
    Whatever…
**[17:43] ---**
    Men go to wedding receptions
**[17:46] ---**
    to meet the friends of the bride,
    don't they?
**[17:49] ---**
    That's not it.
**[17:50] ---**
    What a drag! Let's go over there.
**[17:52] ---**
    Hey!
**[17:55] ---**
    Oh, sweet!
**[17:57] ---**
    It's definitely gonna be sweet.

    When did they hook up?
**[18:03] ---**
    Who are you talking about?
**[18:04] ---**
    Shikamaru and Temari…
**[18:06] ---**
    Did you know they were like that?
**[18:09] ---**
    Hmm.
**[18:10] ---**
    Anyway, everyone probably
    thinks about us the same way.
**[18:34] ---**
    CONGRATULATIONS
    
**[18:38] ---**
    Sasuke…
**[18:58] ---**
    What's the matter, Iruka Sensei?
**[19:00] ---**
    Is something still worrying you?
**[19:03] ---**
    Well…
**[19:04] ---**
    It's going to be all right.
**[19:05] ---**
    Thanks to you, Iruka Sensei,
**[19:08] ---**
    we have guard duty covered
    with enough shinobi.
**[19:10] ---**
    No, that was all you, Kakashi.
**[19:13] ---**
    No, I didn't do anything.
**[19:16] ---**
    I just helped a little.
**[19:19] ---**
    It's all thanks to the bonds
    Naruto forged.
**[19:23] ---**
    Naruto's here, and
    that's why everyone is here today.
**[19:28] ---**
    I'm sure he will make Hinata happy.
**[19:32] ---**
    Are you still worried?
**[19:34] ---**
    Well…
**[19:36] ---**
    I forgot to prepare
    my final message.
**[19:49] ---**
    *Brother Neji…*
    *I'm going to get married.*
**[20:11] ---**
