[00:02] ---
    It appears to be a jutsu
    where a seed-like clone
[00:06] ---
    parasitizes a life form with chakra
    and feeds on its host's chakra.
[00:12] ---
    So that's why you didn't notice it.
[00:15] ---
    Most likely a ninjutsu of the Akatsuki
    we saw at the meeting.
[00:19] ---
    And what about the other one
    who has been following us all along?
[00:23] ---
    He continues to tail us.
[00:26] ---
    Probably the Byakugan user
    from the Hidden Mist.
[00:29] ---
    Him?
[00:34] ---
    There.
[00:40] ---
    It would be a stroke of luck
    if he falls for this.
[00:43] ---
    Your traps are special.
    It'll work.
[00:48] ---
    Dead or alive, make sure
    you gouge out his right eye.
[00:52] ---
    Yes, sir!
[00:54] ---
    Kisame Hoshigaki,
    pleased to meet you after the fact.
[01:05] ---
    Kisame Hoshigaki, eh?
[01:08] ---
    Ink in your mouth…
[01:10] ---
    The rumors are true.
    You really are an octopus brat.
[01:14] ---
    I’m gonna make you weep!
    You sharky creep!
[01:23] ---
    A Tailed Beast Cloak with
    only seven chakra tails…

[01:27] ---
    Does this mean
    you're going to get serious?

[01:30] ---
    Did you know?
[01:31] ---
    Know what?
[01:34] ---
    Octopi eat sharks!
[01:39] ---
    The sword dodged on its own!
[01:48] ---
    Bee!
[01:50] ---
    That sword sucked out
    Bee's chakra again

[01:53] ---
    and has grown even bigger!
[01:58] ---
    This time, the shark shall
    devour the octopus.
[02:02] ---
    That sword Samehada's got
    a big appetite and it's a speed-eater,

[02:07] ---
    but it looks like it can only devour
    six tails' worth of chakra at one time.

[02:16] ---
    If that's the situation with this version,
[02:18] ---
    then my next version
    should do the trick.

[02:23] ---
    Samehada has never grown
    this big before.
[02:27] ---
    Its delight is not trivial either.
[02:30] ---
    What'll we do, Bee?
[02:34] ---
    I'll help. Enter Tailed Beast State!
[02:40] ---
    Judging from the markings,
    Ao went this way.
[02:44] ---
    Let us hurry.
[02:45] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:17] ---
    Tailed Beast vs.
    The Tailless Tailed Beast

    
    
[04:21] ---
    Take care of my body, Torune.
[04:40] ---
    A booby trap. It must be Danzo's.
[04:45] ---
    CURSE
[04:55] ---
    Why am I seeing
    my own body?!

[04:59] ---
    Gotcha.
[05:00] ---
    What's going on?
[05:02] ---
    You are under my Mind Transfer
    Puppet Curse Jutsu.
[05:05] ---
    Damn it! Was this
    a curse-type Mind Transfer Jutsu

[05:08] ---
    that activates itself when
    the object is attacked?!

[05:10] ---
    Your mind is now sealed inside
    that puppet.
[05:16] ---
    And I am in possession…
[05:20] ---
    of your body.
[05:28] ---
    Damn it. It's useless.
[05:31] ---
    Forget it.
[05:33] ---
    That is a Barrier Ninjutsu that
    only us Hidden Mist Black Ops,

[05:36] ---
    the Shinobi Tracking Unit, can undo.
[05:38] ---
    My Byakugan is precious,
    the only one that the Mist possesses.

[05:42] ---
    Do not think that you'll be able
    to reclaim it easily.

[05:46] ---
    So it self-activates
    when the eye is at risk, eh?
[05:50] ---
    A fitting jutsu coming from you guys,
[05:52] ---
    also known as the Undertaker Squad.
[05:56] ---
    I don't expect it to be easy.
[05:59] ---
    Taking your eye means that I,
    as the jutsu caster, will lose my own eye.
[06:03] ---
    You know that.
[06:06] ---
    So it's Danzo's orders?
[06:07] ---
    Just what does he think of
    his subordinates?

[06:10] ---
    If the Mist's military power becomes
    greatly diminished because of it,
[06:13] ---
    losing one of my eyes is
    a cheap price to pay.
[06:16] ---
    Though, thanks to your barrier,
    it's not going to happen at this rate.
[06:19] ---
    But there are plenty of other options.
[06:26] ---
    Enter Tailed Beast State, Bee!
[06:28] ---
    No way, fool, ya fool!
[06:30] ---
    An attack with you would
    be way too huge

[06:33] ---
    and would destroy the area.
[06:35] ---
    Master Kin and Ponta are
    here with us, don't forget!

[06:38] ---
    Besides, I finally managed to
    sneak off under the radar
.
[06:42] ---
    If I let you out, it'll be like
    announcing that Killer Bee is here!

[06:46] ---
    It's not like you to make excuses, Bee!
[06:49] ---
    So what'll you do?
    Fight in Version 2 State?

[06:53] ---
    Oh yeah.
[06:54] ---
    ‘Cept most of my chakra got taken away
    during those last few exchanges,

[06:59] ---
    so lend me yours.
[07:04] ---
    If it weren't for me,
    you'd have lost a long time ago.
[07:07] ---
    Ya sure got a cheeky personality,
[07:09] ---
    but I'm still grateful for
    your hospitality, yeah!
[07:12] ---
    Huh?
[07:20] ---
    Going into a Tailed Beast State, eh?
[07:22] ---
    No, this is a Tailed Beast's power
    trapped in a humanoid form.
[07:25] ---
    It's Version 2 State!
[07:31] ---
    Lariat!
[07:35] ---
    Samehada is so excited
    it's tripping out.

[07:38] ---
    The chakra earlier is nothing compared
    to this volume and quality.

[07:43] ---
    I'm amazed he can control this
    much chakra without losing his mind.

[07:50] ---
    There's no way to devour
    this much chakra.

[08:05] ---
    You did it!
[08:08] ---
    I can't believe I was reduced back
    to Version 1 State.
[08:11] ---
    He's still alive! Hurry and finish him!
[08:14] ---
    You've sure done it.
[08:26] ---
    What is that?!
[08:30] ---
    The stronger my opponent,
    the stronger I become.
[08:36] ---
    I do not tire.
[08:39] ---
    I do not fall.
[08:42] ---
    So his blade steals his enemy's chakra
[08:44] ---
    and transfers it to its master
    in the form of stamina?
[08:50] ---
    And that's why
    I'm called the Tailless Tailed Beast.
[08:55] ---
    Water Style:
    Super Exploding Water Shock Wave!

[09:05] ---
    What do you plan to do?
[09:09] ---
    I'm simply going to jump down
    and behead you.
[09:12] ---
    If I can't remove your eye,
[09:13] ---
    then I'll just have to take
    your entire head back to the Leaf with me.
[09:16] ---
    You're going to kill yourself?
[09:17] ---
    No. I'll undo this Mind Transfer Jutsu
    just before the blade cuts your neck.
[09:23] ---
    Either way, you'll die.
[09:24] ---
    And I, back in my body, can retrace
    my steps here to grab your head.
[09:32] ---
    Fine. Just make sure you're careful.
[09:35] ---
    Or else you'll fail.
[09:38] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:40] ---
    Because if you get nervous and
    release that jutsu an instant too soon,

[09:43] ---
    I'll defend myself from your sickle!
[09:47] ---
    If I'm not dead,
[09:49] ---
    the tables will be turned
    when you come to get my head.

[09:52] ---
    Remember that.
[10:10] ---
    Saved.
[10:11] ---
    What happened?
[10:14] ---
    I was caught in the enemy's jutsu
    and couldn't move my body.
[10:18] ---
    If you hadn't come, I would be dead.
[10:20] ---
    That was a very close call.
[10:24] ---
    I'm sorry I made you worry.
[10:27] ---
    Couldn't move?
[10:29] ---
    It must have been a genjutsu
    or something.
[10:32] ---
    It was a type of Mind Transfer Jutsu.
[10:35] ---
    Your right eye…
[10:36] ---
    The enemy was after the Byakugan,
    weren't they?
[10:39] ---
    They almost succeeded in smashing it.
[10:42] ---
    I'm sorry, but can you untie me?
[10:46] ---
    Of course.
[10:48] ---
    I'll also undo that jutsu protecting
    your right eye.
[10:51] ---
    Thank you, that will help.
[10:57] ---
    What is that?
[11:02] ---
    No!
[11:03] ---
    He hasn't undone
    the Mind Transfer Jutsu yet!

[11:09] ---
    She fell for it.
[11:11] ---
    If the Mizukage can undo the jutsu
    protecting this right eye,

[11:13] ---
    I couldn't ask for anything better.
[11:14] ---
    I can destroy the Byakugan and
    then undo the Mind Transfer Jutsu.

[11:18] ---
    He must be that Sensory-Type ninja!
    This was his plan all along!
[11:25] ---
    No, Lady Mizukage!
[11:28] ---
    This should do.
[11:31] ---
    Lady Mizukage?
[11:34] ---
    Lend me your Hiramekarei, Chojuro.
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:40] ---
    You are not Ao.
[11:43] ---
    I cannot undo the jutsu
    on that right eye.
[11:47] ---
    Ao knows that well.
[11:50] ---
    Besides, Ao would never apologize
    to Chojuro.
[11:55] ---
    You played me…
    you sly old vixen—
[11:59] ---
    Ow!
[12:04] ---
    I-I wasn't the one who said that…ma'am.
[12:09] ---
    Oh, you're back to normal.
[12:12] ---
    I'll kill him!
    That Sensory-Type Hidden Leaf ninja!
[12:16] ---
    It's a good thing she didn't use
    the Hiramekarei on you, sir.
[12:21] ---
    Foo.
[12:23] ---
    Well?
[12:26] ---
    Forgive me, sir. I have failed.
[12:30] ---
    It cannot be helped.
[12:42] ---
    The longer this battle drags on,
[12:44] ---
    the more chakra will be shaved from you
    and the greater you will weaken.
[12:48] ---
    And I'll grow proportionately stronger.
[12:54] ---
    Bee! You must take his sword away!
[12:56] ---
    That sword is the key to his strength!
[13:04] ---
    That's if you can pull it off my body.
[13:12] ---
    He merged with his sword?!
[13:14] ---
    He's like a fish that became a man.
[13:16] ---
    Or is it a man that's half fish?
[13:19] ---
    That's too much explaining!
    He's half fish, half man!
[13:25] ---
    Here I come!
[13:32] ---
    At this rate,
    both Master Kin and Ponta will drown.

[13:34] ---
    First, we have to get out of the water!
[13:39] ---
    You cannot escape this Water Style Jutsu.
[13:43] ---
    I have the advantage in
    this location right now.
[13:51] ---
    I can't see the boundary!
    So much water! So crazy!

[13:55] ---
    Bee! Behind you!
[13:59] ---
    These circumstances are hunky-dory!
    I won't be taken down, sorry!

[14:03] ---
    This isn't the time for
    your lame rapping!

[14:06] ---
    The water bubble is in motion
[14:08] ---
    and that half-fish guy
    is at the center!

[14:11] ---
    Pay attention!
[14:13] ---
    And he's faster under water
    than we are!

[14:16] ---
    Plus he's half fish,
    so he probably breathes through gills!

[14:20] ---
    Just running away
    is gonna get us killed.

[14:23] ---
    So what'll we do?
[14:24] ---
    Akatsuki's target is you, Bee!
[14:27] ---
    Leave that enka geezer
    and the raccoon

[14:29] ---
    and run in a different direction!
[14:32] ---
    He's definitely gonna come after you.
[14:34] ---
    I see. That way, those two can…
[14:37] ---
    Right! While he's pursuing you,
    the water will move with him.

[14:42] ---
    Then those two can
    get out of the water.

[14:49] ---
    All right! Now come this way!
[14:54] ---
    What?!
[14:56] ---
    I must capture the Eight-Tails alive,
[14:59] ---
    but there's no rule against
    killing these two!
[15:03] ---
    I ain't letting that happen, ya fool!
[15:05] ---
    Wha—?!
[15:07] ---
    I got you!
[15:12] ---
    Suction pads?!
[15:14] ---
    Gotcha!
[15:15] ---
    No way will you keep
    taking my chakra.

[15:18] ---
    Fool, ya fool!
[15:20] ---
    You really are worthy of being
    called the perfect Jinchuriki.
[15:24] ---
    To be able to change just one part of
    yourself into your Tailed Beast is impressive.
[15:33] ---
    All right, they're out.
[15:43] ---
    You seem to be
    having trouble breathing.
[15:50] ---
    It was a good idea,
    but as long as you're touching me,
[15:54] ---
    you'll continue losing chakra.
[16:00] ---
    I can see why Samehada
    can't contain his excitement.

[16:03] ---
    He has discovered
    his favorite kind of chakra.

[16:08] ---
    No one in the Akatsuki is as good as
    I am at taking prey alive.

[16:12] ---
    This Water Prison Shark Dance Jutsu
    is so much fun

[16:16] ---
    because I can probe
    the amount of chakra to shave

[16:19] ---
    until you're just on the verge of death.
[16:23] ---
    I must admit to failing once in a while.
[16:28] ---
    I guess I have to use Lariat again.
    I just have to time it right.

[16:33] ---
    Don't!
[16:34] ---
    You can't beat him underwater!
[16:37] ---
    That last attempt with
    the octopus leg put him on guard.

[16:41] ---
    Just make a run for it!
[16:43] ---
    Use that!
[16:55] ---
    Ink… A smokescreen.
[16:59] ---
    You are an octopus, after all.
[17:03] ---
    However…
[17:06] ---
    With my body merged with Samehada,
    I can detect chakra through my skin.
[17:13] ---
    It seems you'll run
    out of chakra soon.
[17:22] ---
    Bee…
[17:30] ---
    I'm coming…Bee!
[17:35] ---
    The Eight-Tails turned out to
    be rather disappointing too.
[17:50] ---
    I can't chance you squirming around
[17:53] ---
    and going into
    a Tailed Beast State again.
[17:56] ---
    So I'm going to cut off your legs
    as a precaution.
[18:02] ---
    He took most of my chakra too!
[18:05] ---
    Damn it! Get up, Bee!
[18:07] ---
    We're in a real bind!
[18:11] ---
    Though, my blade doesn't cut cleanly!
[18:20] ---
    What's the matter?
[18:32] ---
    Don't tell me you've become
    attached to the Eight-Tails.
[18:36] ---
    You like his chakra that much, Samehada?
[18:43] ---
    That was chakra you took from me!
[18:56] ---
    Very well.
    Shall we exchange weapons then?
[19:06] ---
    This sword…
[19:11] ---
    It looks like it has a nice, sharp edge!
[19:16] ---
    Now!
[19:19] ---
    A pencil?!
[19:29] ---
    Too bad.
[19:32] ---
    Definitely too bad.
[19:34] ---
    So that was your plan, eh?
[19:42] ---
    Sorry we're late, Bee.
[19:44] ---
    Brother…
[19:47] ---
    Raikage? How did you find us?
[19:50] ---
    That mass of water you created
    was quite visible.
[19:53] ---
    And I perceived Bee and
    the Eight-Tails' chakra mixed inside it.
[19:57] ---
    You really went to town sucking up
    someone else's chakra
[20:01] ---
    and using it for yourself.
[20:03] ---
    It was so obvious.
[20:06] ---
    Guess you found us, after all.
[20:13] ---
    That Samehada… It's giving
    the Eight-Tails more chakra!
[20:17] ---
    Let's do it.
[20:19] ---
    Okay, Brother.
[20:22] ---
    Water Style:
    Super Shark Bomb—
[20:26] ---
    — Double Lariat!
    — Double Lariat!
[20:30] ---
    I must say, you two are too fast.
[20:50] ---
    Brother…
[20:52] ---
    No!
[20:54] ---
    Wandering around by yourself!
[20:57] ---
    Even ya non-dominant arm does me
    a lot o' harm! Sound da alarm!
[22:38] ---
    This is also a battle to protect you.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    Naruto… You said you would
    one day become Hokage.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    I became Kazekage.
    
    
[22:49] ---
    If you made the decision to shoulder
    the name of Kage,
    
    
[22:52] ---
    then you must do what is necessary
    as Sasuke's friend.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "As One's Friend"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    I will protect you with my life.
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
