**[00:18] ---**
Hey, Nine Tails' brat,
thanks for trying to save Motoi.
**[00:22] ---**
Sure.
**[00:24] ---**
Naruto has the ability to
bring people together.
**[00:28] ---**
Just like Bee.
**[00:32] ---**
Yes! I totally agree!
**[00:35] ---**
I think I need to
reconsider ya mate.
**[00:37] ---**
You're quite a good guy,
real top rate.
**[00:40] ---**
Octopops,
ya got the best rap…
**[00:43] ---**
I'm so happy to know ya,
I'm one lucky chap!
**[00:46] ---**
*It's great that Naruto and*
*Bee share similar traits.*
**[00:50] ---**
*But frankly, I wish he'd stop*
*copying his rapping.*
**[00:54] ---**
Yo! Keep the beat.
**[00:59] ---**
*What do you know about Bee?*
**[01:02] ---**
*If you keep complaining about him,*
*I won't forgive you, kid!*
**[01:05] ---**
*Motoi trusts Octopops.*
**[01:09] ---**
*Did that happen?*
**[01:13] ---**
*And Octopops trusts Motoi.*
**[01:23] ---**
Yo! I'm Naruto, ya know!
**[01:28] ---**
*All right, it's decided!*
**[01:33] ---**
Man, it's "ya know, ya know"
all the time.
**[01:39] ---**
Shuddup, ya know!
**[01:45] ---**
Go to the Waterfall of Truth.
**[01:47] ---**
You'll pass with flying colors now.
**[04:00] ---**
*The Next Challenge!*
*Naruto vs. Nine Tails!*
**[04:06] ---**
So have you come back because you
haven't learned your lesson yet?
**[04:09] ---**
It's going to be the same,
no matter how many times you try.
**[04:12] ---**
You cannot beat me.
**[04:16] ---**
I know.
**[04:19] ---**
Trying to defeat you
with force isn't going to work.
**[04:23] ---**
Because we use
the exact same moves.
**[04:27] ---**
You won't be able to
chase me out either.
**[04:30] ---**
I know you better than anyone else.
**[04:36] ---**
Then…
**[04:37] ---**
You already know…
**[04:41] ---**
What do you want to say?
**[04:44] ---**
What I decided earlier.
**[04:49] ---**
I don't remember.
**[04:52] ---**
Don't act like you don't know.
**[04:55] ---**
Well, never mind.
**[04:56] ---**
This place is supposed to show
the truth in your heart,
**[05:00] ---**
so I'll concentrate on the image
and show it directly to you.
**[05:10] ---**
HOKAGE CANDIDATE #1 NARUTO
**[05:15] ---**
This is my autograph.
**[05:19] ---**
Why you!
**[05:26] ---**
*Oh hey! Give me*
*your autograph, Naruto!*
**[05:29] ---**
*Could you make it out to my kid?*
*He's a big fan of yours.*
**[05:34] ---**
*An autograph?*
**[05:35] ---**
*The hero of the Hidden Leaf.*
**[05:37] ---**
*The youth who created a miracle,*
*Naruto Uzumaki.*
**[05:41] ---**
*Give me your autograph too!*
**[05:43] ---**
*What is it? You refuse?*
**[05:44] ---**
*Oh no, but I'm not used to*
*that sort of thing.*
**[05:48] ---**
*I don't have a clue*
*what to sign.*
**[05:52] ---**
Back at Ichiraku, I couldn't give
them their autographs.
**[05:55] ---**
Here it is now.
**[06:01] ---**
Who cares if you have it now?
**[06:03] ---**
What a joke!
**[06:05] ---**
Everyone in the village is
just sweet-talking you.
**[06:07] ---**
They don't mean it.
**[06:08] ---**
They've been lying to us
the whole time.
**[06:12] ---**
Making up rules and
treating us like outcasts!
**[06:15] ---**
Don't you remember?
**[06:23] ---**
It was so hard and painful.
**[06:28] ---**
I'm the only one who will
ever understand you!
**[06:30] ---**
Don't trust anyone
from the village!
**[06:35] ---**
Yeah…
**[06:36] ---**
The villagers are important,
**[06:39] ---**
but there's someone else
I have to trust first.
**[06:45] ---**
I have to believe in myself.
**[06:48] ---**
I need to trust the me that
the villagers believe in.
**[07:12] ---**
Why?
**[07:15] ---**
After all that
they put us through?
**[07:21] ---**
Octopops made me
realize something.
**[07:24] ---**
He doesn't doubt himself at all.
He has pride in himself.
**[07:31] ---**
Do you…
**[07:33] ---**
Do you consider me a burden?
**[07:36] ---**
Just what am I to you?
**[07:38] ---**
Because you existed,
I became strong.
**[07:42] ---**
Thanks to you,
I've made it this far.
**[07:45] ---**
And?
**[07:47] ---**
And what am I…
**[07:49] ---**
And what am I
supposed to do now?
**[07:52] ---**
That's simple.
**[08:00] ---**
You just become me.
**[08:03] ---**
Since you are me.
**[08:09] ---**
Thanks for everything until today.
**[08:12] ---**
But it's going to be all right now.
**[09:13] ---**
It seems…
**[09:14] ---**
…it all went well?
**[09:15] ---**
It's too soon to celebrate,
fool, ya fool.
**[09:25] ---**
Shall we try to control
the Nine Tails' power now?
**[09:30] ---**
From this moment,
I'll be your instructor
**[09:32] ---**
Ya better prepare yourself or else
you'll suffer death n' torture.
**[09:36] ---**
All right!
**[09:38] ---**
Come with me, Naruto!
**[09:41] ---**
Um, may I come along?
**[09:44] ---**
Okay!
**[09:45] ---**
What about Motoi?
**[09:47] ---**
I have to report in to the Hidden Cloud
at regular intervals,
**[09:49] ---**
so I'll take my leave here.
**[09:51] ---**
Thank you for your help.
**[09:54] ---**
Things won't be easy
from here on out.
**[10:00] ---**
So there was something on
the other side of the waterfall.
**[10:15] ---**
Wow!
**[10:17] ---**
You'll fight the Nine Tails here!
**[10:20] ---**
Fight the Nine Tails?
**[10:23] ---**
That's right, fool, ya fool.
**[10:54] ---**
This is amazing.
**[10:57] ---**
Follow me.
**[11:15] ---**
These ruins seem to
be quite old.
**[11:18] ---**
They must have
archeological importance,
**[11:20] ---**
they should be restored.
**[11:22] ---**
No! Those stone statues were carved
without heads to begin with.
**[11:28] ---**
There's a reason for it.
**[11:30] ---**
How am I supposed to
fight the Nine Tails here?
**[11:35] ---**
What's more, how am I
supposed to face him?
**[11:37] ---**
I hope you're not going to
do anything excessive!
**[11:40] ---**
Do you think it's something
that can be controlled
**[11:42] ---**
without doing
something excessive?
**[11:43] ---**
Fool, ya fool.
**[11:46] ---**
Since long ago,
this has been a sacred place
**[11:47] ---**
where those selected as
Jinchuriki have come
**[11:49] ---**
to undergo
the Purification Ceremony.
**[11:53] ---**
It's set up here so you can talk to
your Tailed Beast in a special way.
**[11:58] ---**
It's right inside this building.
You hear what I say?
**[12:02] ---**
This is…
**[12:03] ---**
Only the chosen ones can enter…
To be selected.
**[12:07] ---**
Go and stick your head
into the statue's mouth…
**[12:10] ---**
Like a good man, respected.
**[12:12] ---**
If there isn't any darkness
in your heart, the door will open…
**[12:14] ---**
Fully extended.
**[12:16] ---**
Hey, can you explain it normally?
**[12:20] ---**
I don't quite understand.
**[12:22] ---**
No darkness in the heart?
**[12:25] ---**
I see, so that's why
at the waterfall…
**[12:36] ---**
However…
**[12:37] ---**
If there's even a little darkness
in your heart,
**[12:40] ---**
the gate will not part.
**[12:41] ---**
Do you consent?
**[12:43] ---**
And the statue will bite off
your head and tear you apart.
**[12:46] ---**
Are you content?
**[12:48] ---**
All the headless statues
you saw on your way here…
**[12:50] ---**
are past Jinchuriki who weren't…
sincere!
**[12:57] ---**
*I'm your true self.*
**[13:00] ---**
*The real you.*
**[13:06] ---**
This is too risky.
**[13:08] ---**
Naruto, use a Shadow Clone.
**[13:11] ---**
This is a sacred place,
fool, ya fool.
**[13:15] ---**
Generations of Hidden Cloud
ancestors guard
**[13:17] ---**
and protect this place.
**[13:19] ---**
Tricks like that won't work!
**[13:21] ---**
But…
**[13:22] ---**
Captain Yamato…
**[13:24] ---**
I came here to learn how
to control the Nine Tails' power!
**[13:29] ---**
This is important to me.
I can't run away!
**[13:43] ---**
*I'm going to believe in myself!*
**[14:01] ---**
Naruto!
**[14:07] ---**
No! How could this happen!
**[14:11] ---**
Naruto!
**[14:12] ---**
You…
**[14:14] ---**
Just kidding!
**[14:16] ---**
There's just a switch in there.
**[14:21] ---**
It's a habit.
I couldn't help myself.
**[14:23] ---**
I did the same thing too.
Out of habit.
**[14:25] ---**
Those stone statues are
just broken. It's just some wit.
**[14:28] ---**
I thought you said this place
was sacred! Fools, ya fools!
**[14:43] ---**
This is…?
**[14:47] ---**
Go inside,
close your eyes and focus.
**[14:51] ---**
Just like at the waterfall.
Then you'll meet your Tailed Beast.
**[14:56] ---**
Before when I was training,
**[14:58] ---**
I was able to meet
the Nine Tails in my mind.
**[15:03] ---**
Any Jinchuriki can do that.
**[15:06] ---**
But this is
a little different, okay?
**[15:21] ---**
Listen to me very carefully.
**[15:22] ---**
I'll give you an explanation.
**[15:24] ---**
Naruto, what kind of Sealing Jutsu
was used on your Nine Tails?
**[15:28] ---**
Please answer my question.
**[15:30] ---**
It's a Tetragram Seal.
**[15:32] ---**
A Tetragram Seal, huh.
That's impressive.
**[15:36] ---**
It's even more solid than
my Steel Shell Seal.
**[15:39] ---**
Do you have the key?
**[15:45] ---**
*I have no choice but to do*
*as you say, Great Lord Elder.*
**[15:54] ---**
*What is this?*
**[15:56] ---**
*It is the key left by*
*the Fourth Hokage*
**[15:59] ---**
*that locks and unlocks*
*the sealing jutsu on your belly!*
**[16:03] ---**
Yes!
**[16:04] ---**
You're going to undo
the seal, after all.
**[16:07] ---**
What if he can't
control it properly?
**[16:10] ---**
What if the Nine Tails
revives completely?
**[16:13] ---**
We'll seal him away here.
**[16:16] ---**
That's what this place
is for as well.
**[16:19] ---**
Until we get a new Jinchuriki,
this is where we'll seal him in.
**[16:23] ---**
You got a problem with this?
No booin'.
**[16:25] ---**
– But…
– That won't happen!
**[16:29] ---**
Because I'm going to do this.
**[16:32] ---**
Okay! I'm going to shut the door.
**[16:36] ---**
And I'll show you how to deal
with the Nine Tails!
**[16:55] ---**
*Naruto, you really do impress me.*
**[16:57] ---**
*The rules are simple,*
*as you'll soon see.*
**[17:00] ---**
*Greet the Nine Tails in*
*your subconscious mind,*
**[17:02] ---**
*then undo the seal.*
**[17:06] ---**
Hey, evil glare as usual.
**[17:11] ---**
Naruto…
**[17:13] ---**
You…
**[17:18] ---**
What is it?
**[17:20] ---**
Where'd the real you go?
**[17:24] ---**
I don't sense him.
**[17:26] ---**
I'm here…right in front of you!
**[17:33] ---**
*You conquered hatred.*
**[17:37] ---**
*But don't relax,*
*do the best you can!*
**[17:40] ---**
*The Nine Tails is*
*a mass of true hatred.*
**[17:42] ---**
*That's absolutely true, man!*
**[17:55] ---**
What're you up to?
**[17:57] ---**
Can't you see my mouth is full?
**[18:07] ---**
*Here I go…*
**[18:34] ---**
*When the Nine Tails emerges*
*from the seal,*
**[18:36] ---**
*grab the Nine Tails' chakra*
*with your own chakra,*
**[18:38] ---**
*and pull it away!*
**[18:42] ---**
*Chakra can only be caught*
*with chakra.*
**[18:44] ---**
*It's common sense, son.*
**[18:46] ---**
*Take the Nine Tails' chakra*
*away from him…*
**[18:49] ---**
*and you'll be number one.*
**[18:59] ---**
*Touch the Nine Tails directly and*
**[19:01] ---**
*stick your chakra onto its chakra,*
*and it'll pull each other.*
**[19:05] ---**
*In other words, it's going to be*
*like a match of tug-of-war. Okay?!*
**[19:15] ---**
*I'll help you in your fight.*
**[19:18] ---**
*But unfortunately inside*
*your head I got no might.*
**[19:23] ---**
He's strong!
**[19:25] ---**
*Just a word of warning.*
**[19:26] ---**
*When you're trying to*
*take his chakra,*
**[19:27] ---**
*there's the risk that*
*he'll pull away yours.*
**[19:31] ---**
*I don't need to explain what'll*
*happen if all your chakra is*
**[19:35] ---**
*pulled away and*
*you have zero left, right?*
**[19:38] ---**
I see. You intend to
control my power.
**[19:43] ---**
So you teamed up
with Eight Tails?
**[19:45] ---**
You, the Jinchuriki of
the Nine Tails? That's pitiful!
**[19:57] ---**
*The risks are high for sure.*
**[19:59] ---**
*But if you take it away,*
**[20:01] ---**
*the Nine Tails' chakra will*
*be yours forever!*
**[20:04] ---**
*Grab whatever chakra you can*
*from the Nine Tails' will…*
**[20:07] ---**
*That will be your payoff!*
**[20:11] ---**
*Don't get caught in*
*the Nine Tail's hatred.*
**[20:13] ---**
*Use your strong will.*
**[20:15] ---**
*That's how you'll ward him off!*
**[20:26] ---**
Don't underestimate me !
**[20:32] ---**
*Thank you, Octopops!*
**[20:41] ---**
I managed to contain the explosion!
**[20:42] ---**
Naruto, that will be the last of
my cooperation to your operation!
**[20:46] ---**
*Thanks!*
**[20:47] ---**
*I'm sitting still*
*just as I thought.*
**[20:55] ---**
Sage Art: Super Giant Rasengan!
**[22:36] ---**
Damn it. The Nine Tails
is no joke.
**[22:41] ---**
*If it weren't for him…*
*I hate him.*
**[22:45] ---**
What?
**[22:46] ---**
Don't give in Naruto!
Fool, ya fool!
**[22:49] ---**
*No one will ever respect*
*someone like you*!
**[22:53] ---**
What is this?
**[22:56] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Orange Spark"
**[23:01] ---**
Who are you?
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
