[00:08] ---
    You're saying that the Fourth
    Great Ninja War is about to start?
[00:12] ---
    Even if it is Madara Uchiha,
[00:16] ---
    can he really take on
    the Five Great Nations?
[00:19] ---
    Wake up!
[00:22] ---
    Madara Uchiha leads the Akatsuki.
[00:24] ---
    Just one of their members, Nagato,
[00:26] ---
    was able to destroy
    Hidden Leaf Village!
[00:29] ---
    Have you already forgotten that?!
[00:32] ---
    I agree with Lady Tsunade.
[00:35] ---
    The Akatsuki already have
    the Tailed Beasts
[00:37] ---
    from the One Tail to the Seven Tails.
[00:40] ---
    If they intend to use them
    as military weapons,
[00:43] ---
    then we must consider their strength
    to be far greater than Nagato's.
[00:48] ---
    And if that is the case,
    the Five Great Nations…
[00:50] ---
    no, the entire world is
    in danger of ruin.
[00:54] ---
    We cannot delay action any longer.
[00:58] ---
    All right. But do you know
    where Uchiha Madara is?
[01:02] ---
    We have a general idea
    of the location.
[01:06] ---
    The Mitarashi Unit just
    reported in and
[01:09] ---
    they confirmed spotting someone who
    fits the description of Madara Uchiha.
[01:13] ---
    I see.
[01:15] ---
    They are presently working
    to get more solid intel.
[01:23] ---
    It doesn't rhyme.
[01:27] ---
    Isn't there a nice phrase?
[01:30] ---
    Unless we are sure about
    the enemy's headquarters,
[01:32] ---
    and where their hideout is,
[01:33] ---
    it will be difficult to launch
    an effective surprise attack.
[01:36] ---
    And so, we will first dispatch
    a reconnaissance team.
[01:39] ---
    All right.
[01:40] ---
    – To maximize their efforts, we will have
    – "All right," eh?
[01:42] ---
    – three surprise attack formations.
    – Lacks originality.
[01:44] ---
    To ensure success,
[01:45] ---
    – each formation must be comprised of
    – What if I switch it around like…
[01:48] ---
    – expert shinobi from the Five Great Nations.
    – Right-o?
[01:51] ---
    Right-o… And then I add
    a little rap flavor and…
[01:55] ---
    Yo right-o.
[01:57] ---
    Yo right-o, yo right-o, yo right-o yo…
[01:59] ---
    This gives us
    a pretty clear picture of
[02:02] ---
    the Hidden Cloud's military strength.
[02:04] ---
    Lucky for us,
    the Eight Tails is a fool.
[02:09] ---
    It's not working.
[02:11] ---
    This phrase
    is making me mad!
[02:14] ---
    Can't figure it out.
[02:17] ---
    We don't have current intel
    about the enemy,
[02:19] ---
    so we must rely on intel from
    the others to assess the situation.
[02:23] ---
    So we're to go empty-handed and
[02:25] ---
    depend on intel
    from other villages?
[02:27] ---
    Will they even share their data?
[02:30] ---
    If they refuse to divulge
    what they know,
[02:32] ---
    then the Allied Shinobi Force
    is meaningless.
[02:35] ---
    We'll just have to trust them.
[02:39] ---
    We don't have time to waste.
[02:42] ---
    At this every moment,
[02:43] ---
    Madara Uchiha is preparing for war.
[02:49] ---
    All right!
[02:50] ---
    We will hold a meeting of
    the Allied Shinobi Force in three days!
[02:54] ---
    Send word to each village!
[02:59] ---
    Shortly, I will make
    an announcement
[03:01] ---
    to everyone in the village about
    the impending Fourth Great Ninja War.
[03:05] ---
    Fourth Great Ninja War…
[03:08] ---
    You didn't know this yet, Sakura.
[03:10] ---
    But Madara Uchiha
    has declared war.
[03:14] ---
    It's not a war between
    nations this time.
[03:16] ---
    The Five Great Nations
    have joined forces for a war,
[03:18] ---
    the likes of which has
    never been seen.
[03:21] ---
    The enemy is…
[03:22] ---
    None other than the Akatsuki.
[03:24] ---
    The Akatsuki…
    We're really going to fight Sasuke.
[03:28] ---
    When the fighting breaks out,
    many will be stricken with anxiety.
[03:33] ---
    It will be your job to monitor
    their mental state.
[03:37] ---
    Circulate among each team and
    report anything that you deem necessary.
[03:41] ---
    Do not hide anything.
[03:43] ---
    I understand.
[03:44] ---
    Also, make sure you keep
    an eye on Naruto.
[03:48] ---
    I cannot have him acting recklessly.
[03:51] ---
    In this war,
    the Akatsuki's goal is Naruto.
[03:59] ---
    What's going on, Shizune?
[04:00] ---
    Well, just now…
[04:02] ---
    Naruto suddenly disappeared
    from Ichiraku.
[04:05] ---
    What?!
[04:06] ---
    You don't suppose the enemy…
[04:08] ---
    It's impossible for Naruto to
    be kidnapped from this village!
[04:10] ---
    Find Naruto immediately!
[05:43] ---
    The Five Kage's Decision
    
    
[05:49] ---
    See you, Giant Gramps Sage.
[05:51] ---
    All right, I'm sending you back.
[05:57] ---
    I'm back.
[05:59] ---
    Where'd you go?
[06:00] ---
    I thought you suddenly disappeared,
    and now you're back!
[06:05] ---
    I had something to do.
[06:06] ---
    Oh, Naruto!
[06:07] ---
    They said you suddenly disappeared
    and everyone's in an uproar.
[06:10] ---
    Huh? No kidding!
[06:12] ---
    I never thought I'd run into you here.
[06:16] ---
    Oh hey!
    Give me your autograph!
[06:19] ---
    Could you make it out to my kid.
    He's a big fan of yours.
[06:24] ---
    Autograph?
[06:26] ---
    The hero of the Hidden Leaf.
[06:28] ---
    The kid who created a miracle,
    Naruto Uzumaki.
[06:32] ---
    Give me your autograph too!
[06:35] ---
    What is it? You refuse?
[06:36] ---
    Oh no, but I'm not used
    to that sort of thing.
[06:40] ---
    I don't have a clue what to sign.
[06:43] ---
    Everyone’s making a fuss
    over him lately as the miracle kid.
[06:47] ---
    But until just recently,
    it was just the opposite.
[06:50] ---
    I can’t blame the boy.
[06:52] ---
    Gentlemen, will you let him eat
    a bowl of ramen before that?
[06:56] ---
    Oh, sure…
[06:58] ---
    Yes!
[07:01] ---
    I finally get to eat!
[07:03] ---
    Naruto!
[07:04] ---
    Oh Sakura!
[07:08] ---
    Where have you been?!
[07:11] ---
    Where? I was suddenly
    summoned and…
[07:13] ---
    Just come with me right now!
[07:15] ---
    Lady Tsunade and everyone else
    are worried about you!
[07:18] ---
    Oww… Sakura!
    Let me eat my ramen!
[07:21] ---
    That can wait.
[07:25] ---
    With the Great Lord Elder?
[07:27] ---
    Yeah, he used
    a Reverse Summoning Jutsu.
[07:31] ---
    Jeez, after all the trouble…
[07:33] ---
    Lord Fukasaku could at least
    notify me first.
[07:37] ---
    Still, it's a relief that
    you're okay, Naruto.
[07:41] ---
    Yup, I'm alive and well.
[07:44] ---
    But why did the Great Lord Elder
    summon you?
[07:48] ---
    Giant Gramps Sage had
    a prophecy for me too.
[07:55] ---
    Like the one he foretold to Jiraiya?
[07:58] ---
    What did the Great Lord Elder say?
[08:03] ---
    Well…
[08:04] ---
    What's the matter?
[08:05] ---
    I'm gonna go to some resort
    and encounter an octopus.
[08:09] ---
    Huh? An octopus?
[08:14] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?
[08:17] ---
    Well, this octopus is gonna cooperate
    with me somehow.
[08:22] ---
    Giant Gramps Sage didn't know
    the details either.
[08:26] ---
    And…
[08:28] ---
    he said that I'm going to
    end up fighting Sasuke.
[08:32] ---
    Sasuke?
[08:42] ---
    But I'm already prepared for that.
[08:45] ---
    Naruto…
[08:47] ---
    Sakura, it's all right.
[08:49] ---
    Just let me deal with Sasuke.
[08:57] ---
    It's quiet.
[08:59] ---
    I know.
[09:03] ---
    So peaceful.
[09:05] ---
    Huh? No, it's not.
[09:08] ---
    Well sure, the village that
    Pain destroyed is being rebuilt,
[09:12] ---
    and Lady Tsunade has
    come out of her coma.
[09:14] ---
    But as for Sasuke,
[09:16] ---
    there's only talk that Naruto
    will do something.
[09:20] ---
    And there's gonna be a war, right?
[09:24] ---
    How did you know that?
[09:26] ---
    I'm not stupid.
    I can tell by watching the jonin.
[09:32] ---
    I guess so.
[09:37] ---
    The fact is war is right
    at our doorstep.
[09:42] ---
    I see… I figured as much.
[09:44] ---
    Yeah. This is fight is going
    to be something we…
[09:47] ---
    I mean, no shinobi
    has ever experienced.
[09:53] ---
    I mean, the Five Great Nations
    are joining forces for the first time
[09:56] ---
    to crush the Akatsuki.
[10:01] ---
    It's the start of
    the Fourth Great Ninja War.
[10:05] ---
    The Fourth Great Ninja War.
[10:09] ---
    Aren't you scared, Shikamaru?
[10:13] ---
    Sure, I'm scared.
[10:16] ---
    But this time,
[10:18] ---
    it doesn't matter how scared
    we are or how hard it'll be.
[10:22] ---
    Our enemy, the Akatsuki,
    is made up of members so skilled
[10:26] ---
    that it took just one of them, Pain,
    to destroy Hidden Leaf Village.
[10:30] ---
    And the abilities of their leader,
    Madara, are shrouded in mystery.
[10:35] ---
    Madara already has seven
    Tailed Beasts in his possession.
[10:40] ---
    If he unleashes
    all of them at once,
[10:42] ---
    who knows if
    the Five Great Nations can win.
[10:48] ---
    The very existence of
    the ninja world is at stake.
[10:50] ---
    Each and every shinobi
    will have to do his best
[10:54] ---
    in order for us to win.
[10:57] ---
    Choji, I'm counting on
    your strength!
[11:14] ---
    Shikamaru… I wonder if
    I can do my best?
[11:19] ---
    Still, it's hard to take
    this all in, huh?
[11:33] ---
    Are you okay?
[11:34] ---
    You wanted to know what
    to expect from war.
[11:38] ---
    I'm fine.
[11:39] ---
    But nothing can prepare you
    for the real battlefield.
[11:43] ---
    The cries of the wounded,
    the smell of blood…
[11:46] ---
    It's impossible not to
    be affected by that.
[11:50] ---
    And yet, a Medical Ninja must
    maintain composure at all times.
[11:56] ---
    Everyone fights hard,
[11:58] ---
    believing that we will be
    there to save their lives.
[12:01] ---
    I understand.
[12:03] ---
    That's why I wanted to…
[12:09] ---
    to know.
[12:12] ---
    Well, I've rambled on enough.
[12:17] ---
    Damn it. A poor talker like me
    lecturing you, it’s not my style.
[12:25] ---
    If we both end up dying…
[12:30] ---
    You won’t be an Uchiha and
    I won’t be the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki.
[12:34] ---
    We'll be free of all our burdens.
[12:37] ---
    And we'll finally be able to understand
    each other in the next world.
[12:40] ---
    Naruto…you…
[12:45] ---
    If both Naruto and Sasuke
    are seriously wounded…
[12:51] ---
    which one will I save first?
[13:00] ---
    Found you!
[13:03] ---
    Be quiet!
[13:07] ---
    Master, what's the meaning of this?
[13:10] ---
    Don't scare us like that.
[13:14] ---
    I'm Killer - Bee - Quiet!
[13:17] ---
    That has a nice cadence.
[13:19] ---
    – And…
    – What is it?
[13:21] ---
    ENKA CONCERT
[13:24] ---
    These are for us?
[13:25] ---
    To sell?!
[13:27] ---
    I had interference from Brother
    in that last recital.
[13:32] ---
    This time, I'm gonna nail it.
[13:35] ---
    A recital?
[13:36] ---
    Who's gonna wanna buy these?
[13:39] ---
    Are you that against hearing me sing?
[13:43] ---
    You fools! You idiots!
[13:45] ---
    No, it's not that…
[13:47] ---
    Okay, Master! I'll sell tickets
    even if it kills me!
[13:52] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[13:57] ---
    You all came quickly.
[13:59] ---
    The situation calls for quick action.
[14:02] ---
    Princess Tsunade.
    Are you really all right?
[14:07] ---
    This is the perfect opportunity
    to hand things over to a youngster.
[14:11] ---
    You're old too.
[14:14] ---
    Speak for yourself,
    you Fence-Sitter geezer!
[14:18] ---
    Setting aside the matter of Danzo,
[14:20] ---
    I'm relieved that you are back
    as the Hokage, Lady Tsunade.
[14:24] ---
    Let us be done with the greetings
    and get right to business.
[14:29] ---
    First on the agenda are
[14:30] ---
    the Jinchuriki of the
    Eight Tails and Nine Tails.
[14:33] ---
    Then we will go on to any intel
[14:35] ---
    relating to the enemy's headquarters
    and military strength.
[14:38] ---
    My shinobi have pinned
    down a location
[14:40] ---
    that may be the enemy’s stronghold.
[14:42] ---
    But it may be a trap.
[14:44] ---
    We have no choice but to wait
    for more intel on this.
[14:47] ---
    I also have a reconnaissance team
    gathering intel.
[14:53] ---
    We need to sort through the intel
    from each village quickly.
[14:57] ---
    How about forming a separate unit
    within the Allied Force
[15:00] ---
    that only handles intel?
[15:02] ---
    Good idea!
    Share and share alike!
[15:07] ---
    That goes without saying!
[15:08] ---
    If each nation becomes driven
    by self-interest,
[15:12] ---
    the Akatsuki will pull the rug out
    from under us.
[15:16] ---
    So, where will we hide
    the crucial Jinchuriki?
[15:21] ---
    Hide them?
[15:22] ---
    What is it?
[15:24] ---
    Naruto and Bee can lend much
    strength to this battle.
[15:26] ---
    Why hide them away?
[15:28] ---
    I thought so as well.
[15:29] ---
    But those two are what the enemy
    is after in this war.
[15:34] ---
    Considering what could happen,
    we cannot let them participate.
[15:37] ---
    It was decided at the last meeting,
[15:40] ---
    but you, of course,
    were still ill.
[15:43] ---
    Our enemy is Madara!
[15:44] ---
    If we hold back battle strength and
    lose the prospect of victory,
[15:47] ---
    we are not going to get another chance.
[15:49] ---
    We must hit them with
    everything we've got…
[15:51] ---
    The Five Great Nations
    joined together and
[15:53] ---
    our aim in this war is
    to protect those two.
[15:55] ---
    Your sole dissent as Hokage
    is not sufficient.
[15:58] ---
    We will decide this
    with majority rule.
[16:00] ---
    You child! Naruto is—
[16:02] ---
    I know him quite well.
[16:15] ---
    Putting us through
    all this trouble!
[16:17] ---
    If it's for a friend,
    he gets too reckless.
[16:21] ---
    That is exactly why.
[16:25] ---
    Before we even talk
    about military strength,
[16:27] ---
    the five Kage must reach a consensus.
[16:29] ---
    Otherwise, there will be no victory.
[16:32] ---
    I agree, Lady Tsunade.
[16:37] ---
    It's fine!
[16:38] ---
    The Slug Princess is back
    to her impudent self.
[16:41] ---
    It's proof that she is well.
[16:44] ---
    We will now need to decide
    where to hide
[16:46] ---
    the Eight Tails and Nine Tails.
[16:47] ---
    Any objections, Hokage?
[16:50] ---
    I understand.
    Get on with it!
[16:55] ---
    I have a place in mind.
[16:58] ---
    And it is appropriately located
    in the Hidden Cloud,
[17:00] ---
    which has not produced
    any Akatsuki members.
[17:03] ---
    I set it aside, just in case.
[17:10] ---
    Why do you need to speak
    in private?
[17:12] ---
    I need a favor.
[17:14] ---
    A favor?
[17:16] ---
    I understand that
    your younger brother, Bee,
[17:18] ---
    has the Eight Tails completely
    under control.
[17:21] ---
    I want Bee to teach Naruto.
[17:25] ---
    About how to control the Nine Tails.
[17:28] ---
    How convenient for you.
[17:31] ---
    If that brat named Naruto learns
[17:33] ---
    to completely manipulate
    the Nine Tails
[17:36] ---
    he will be the ultimate weapon
    for the Hidden Leaf.
[17:40] ---
    And you want me to readily
    agree to that?
[17:44] ---
    I know all that.
[17:46] ---
    But this is not the time to be arguing
    about our own interests!
[17:51] ---
    We are up against Madara Uchiha!
[17:54] ---
    The time will come when
    we will have no choice
[17:57] ---
    but to use Bee and Naruto's powers!
[17:58] ---
    It will be too late if we wait until then!
[18:01] ---
    Don't shout so much.
[18:02] ---
    Is that any way to make a request?
[18:06] ---
    I’m sorry.
[18:09] ---
    You have a point though.
[18:12] ---
    And, I considered that ages ago.
[18:15] ---
    What?! What are you saying?
[18:17] ---
    The place I'm sending those two
    isn't just a hideout.
[18:21] ---
    I said I set it aside, didn’t I?
[18:25] ---
    Long ago, Bee and I trained
    on that island.
[18:33] ---
    S-rank mission?!
[18:35] ---
    You're assigning me to
    an important mission like that?
[18:38] ---
    Yes. This is a mission that
    only you can undertake.
[18:42] ---
    You and Yamato will go
    to a certain place
[18:44] ---
    in the Hidden Cloud region.
[18:51] ---
    Is that the resort?
[18:53] ---
    The Great Lord Elder's prophecy
    was accurate.
[18:56] ---
    It seems that is the place
    he foresaw.
[18:59] ---
    Then I'm gonna see the octopus
    at this resort island?
[19:03] ---
    I feel sorta bad!
[19:05] ---
    Everyone's so busy and
    I get to go to a resort.
[19:09] ---
    You fool! You are going
    on a mission!
[19:13] ---
    I know. Just joking, just joking.
[19:16] ---
    But about going to this place
    that was prophesied…
[19:19] ---
    Is it connected to the other one?
[19:21] ---
    That I'll fight with Sasuke?
[19:25] ---
    That, I don't know.
[19:28] ---
    However, we are on the verge of war!
[19:31] ---
    Hence, this S-rank mission.
[19:34] ---
    When you get to the site,
    you will follow Yamato's orders.
[19:40] ---
    Okay! I understand!
[19:42] ---
    You can count on me
    for this S-rank mission!
[19:46] ---
    Dress casually for enka.
[19:50] ---
    Yup, I look pretty good.
[19:52] ---
    Where is Bee?!
[19:53] ---
    W-What's up, Brother?!
[19:55] ---
    You surprised me too much.
[19:57] ---
    You're going on a mission.
    Leave immediately!
[20:02] ---
    What's with that get-up?!
[20:07] ---
    Let's go!
[20:08] ---
    The concert is in three days.
[20:16] ---
    PASSION ON FIRE
    LIVE ENKA CONCERT
    TICKETS ON SALE NOW
    
    
    No way we can sell these.
[20:19] ---
    If we don't sell them…
[20:21] ---
    It'll be "You fools. You idiots.
    You worthless jerks."
[20:26] ---
    And we'll end up tied to
    the front-row seats
[20:30] ---
    and forced to listen to
    Master's singing forever.
[20:37] ---
    We'll end up with calluses
    on our ears.
[20:40] ---
    Okay! So we just have
    to sell the tickets, right?!
[20:45] ---
    But if we do sell them all,
    he'll be so grateful
[20:50] ---
    he'll still give us first-row seats and
[20:53] ---
    we'll have to listen to Master
    sing for the rest of our lives,
[20:56] ---
    and we'll still get calluses!
[20:58] ---
    So do we sell the tickets or not?!
[21:01] ---
    I don't know what to do either!
[22:37] ---
    The time has finally come.
    
    
[22:38] ---
    Just as Giant Gramps Sage
    prophesied.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    I’m going to go search
    for an octopus and
    
    
[22:43] ---
    train to learn how to control
    the Nine Tails’ power.
    
    
[22:47] ---
    And see Sasuke again.
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Naruto, are you ready?
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Yes!
    
    
[22:52] ---
    Hey young man.
    We depart now!
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time:
    "The Young Man and the Sea"
    
    
[22:59] ---
    We’ll set sail for
    the Land of Lightning!
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
