[00:04] ---
    Good job, Yamato.
[00:06] ---
    No, that wasn't me.
[00:10] ---
    Naruto stopped it all by himself.
[00:13] ---
    But is it okay to
    leave things like this?
[00:21] ---
    Right now, Naruto and
    Nine Tails are in a confrontation…
[00:24] ---
    It better be settled soon. We want it
    to meet our hopeful expectations!
[00:26] ---
    All this waiting is so drawn out!
[00:28] ---
    To pass the time,
    why don't we work out?
[00:31] ---
    This isn't the time to be rapping!
[00:34] ---
    Shuddup!
[00:37] ---
    Right now, Naruto is locked in
    an internal battle with Nine Tails.
[00:42] ---
    We cannot help him any further.
[00:45] ---
    If you really care about
    Naruto's wellbeing,
[00:47] ---
    all we can do now…
[00:51] ---
    is to have faith in him and wait.
[01:15] ---
    I love you.
[01:17] ---
    What is this?
[01:21] ---
    I feel so calm…
[01:27] ---
    I love you.
[01:29] ---
    I feel so happy.
[01:33] ---
    Damn you, Kushina!
[01:42] ---
    What is this?
[01:43] ---
    This is real nice!
[01:45] ---
    For now,
    keeping watch will suffice!
[01:48] ---
    My chakra that's suppressing
    the Nine Tails won't last much longer!
[01:51] ---
    This is your chance to do it!
[01:54] ---
    All right!
[01:57] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[02:02] ---
    You brat!
[02:10] ---
    Just as I thought.
    He's really strong!
[02:15] ---
    Take this!
[02:22] ---
    Rasengan Super Barrage!
[02:26] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[02:29] ---
    I can keep going, ya know!
[02:41] ---
    Here!
[02:42] ---
    That's…
[02:45] ---
    Sage Mode!
[02:57] ---
    Sage Art!
[03:00] ---
    Massive…
[03:02] ---
    Rasengan Barrage!
[03:16] ---
    One more round!
[03:24] ---
    What kind of power is this?
[03:31] ---
    Pull!
[03:35] ---
    Get out!
[03:39] ---
    You did it! You pulled
    the Nine Tails' chakra out!
[04:06] ---
    This is…
[04:08] ---
    This is the Nine Tails'…
[04:11] ---
    Naruto…
[04:13] ---
    You…
[04:16] ---
    You have infuriated me, Naruto!
[04:24] ---
    You still have that much power…
[04:32] ---
    You really are amazing.
[04:44] ---
    This is the Six Paths…?!
[04:57] ---
    You watch out, Naruto.
[05:03] ---
    I'm sorry…Nine Tails.
[05:08] ---
    But I'll make it up to you.
[05:13] ---
    So just hang in there
    for a little while.
[05:24] ---
    You did it, Naruto!
[05:28] ---
    Yeah.
[05:34] ---
    Ma, where are you going now?
[05:36] ---
    I can finally go and join Minato.
[05:48] ---
    There's something
    I must tell you before I go.
[05:55] ---
    Naruto…
[05:56] ---
    It's about when you were born
    16 years ago.
[05:59] ---
    I'll tell you what really happened.
[06:02] ---
    What really happened…
    16 years ago?
[06:08] ---
    I was the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki
    before you.
[06:14] ---
    Let's start from there.
[07:47] ---
    Target: Nine Tails
    
    
[07:53] ---
    You were
    the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki, Ma?
[07:58] ---
    Yes.
[08:00] ---
    Before I can tell you
    what happened 16 years ago,
[08:03] ---
    I need to tell you more
    about me.
[08:07] ---
    I was chosen as the second
    Jinchuriki host of Nine Tails.
[08:12] ---
    Truth be told, I was brought here for
    the express purpose
[08:15] ---
    of being the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki…
[08:17] ---
    LAND OF FIRE LAND OF EDDIES
    
    
    from the Land of Eddies.
[08:20] ---
    Why?
[08:22] ---
    Why did they have to choose
    someone from another land?!
[08:28] ---
    You're right. I'm from
    a different land, and village.
[08:32] ---
    But the Land of Fire and
    the Land of Eddies,
[08:34] ---
    as well as Hidden Leaf Village
    and Hidden Eddy Village,
[08:38] ---
    share a deep bond.
[08:41] ---
    The shinobi of the Senju Clan
    of the Hidden Leaf
[08:43] ---
    and the shinobi of the Uzumaki Clan
    of the Hidden Eddy
[08:45] ---
    were distant blood relatives.
[08:49] ---
    Our people lived long.
[08:51] ---
    So the Hidden Eddy Village was
    also known as the Village of Longevity.
[08:59] ---
    And we specialized in Sealing Jutsu.
[09:05] ---
    We were also a rowdy bunch.
[09:08] ---
    The Tetragram Seal on
    your abdomen is based
[09:11] ---
    on a jutsu from our village.
[09:14] ---
    And Minato, your father, learned
    various Sealing Jutsu from my mother.
[09:21] ---
    Naruto, the symbol on your back…
[09:25] ---
    That is the symbol
    of the Hidden Eddy.
[09:29] ---
    Even today in Hidden Leaf Village
[09:31] ---
    that symbol is a symbol
    of friendship, isn't it?
[09:38] ---
    So the Hidden Eddy Village…?
[09:42] ---
    It no longer exists.
[09:47] ---
    During the era of war,
[09:48] ---
    our sealing jutsu abilities
    were greatly feared,
[09:51] ---
    so the village was targeted
    and destroyed.
[09:54] ---
    Those who survived feared
    for their safety,
[09:57] ---
    so they hid their identities and
    scattered throughout the region.
[10:00] ---
    Still…why were you chosen?!
[10:04] ---
    It seems that even
    among the Hidden Eddy,
[10:06] ---
    I was born with powerful chakra
    able to suppress the Nine Tails.
[10:15] ---
    Do you know about the battle…
[10:17] ---
    between the First Hokage,
    Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha?
[10:22] ---
    Uh-huh…
[10:24] ---
    The Jinchuriki before me
    was the woman
[10:27] ---
    who became the wife of
    the First Hokage.
[10:31] ---
    Her name was Mito Uzumaki.
[10:35] ---
    In order to help Lord First Hokage
[10:36] ---
    who had obtained the Nine Tails
    in his battle with Madara,
[10:40] ---
    Lady Mito sealed the Nine Tails
    inside her body
[10:44] ---
    with a Sealing Jutsu and
    became its Jinchuriki.
[10:48] ---
    From then on,
[10:49] ---
    the Hidden Leaf maintained
    possession of the Nine Tails.
[10:54] ---
    But when Lady Mito's days
    were coming to an end,
[10:58] ---
    I was brought to Hidden Leaf
    as the vessel for the Nine Tails.
[11:03] ---
    You were just being used!
[11:08] ---
    When I was first brought to the village,
[11:10] ---
    I wasn't told a thing.
[11:13] ---
    It was quite a shock
    when I was told why I was there.
[11:18] ---
    This was a closely guarded secret.
[11:21] ---
    And the only ones who knew
[11:23] ---
    were the Third Hokage and
    a few of the top officials.
[11:27] ---
    Not even the Legendary Sannin
    were told about this.
[11:31] ---
    I was nearly overwhelmed by
    the pressure of being the Jinchuriki
[11:34] ---
    and the loneliness I felt.
[11:38] ---
    But Lady Mito, the previous Jinchuriki,
    summoned me…
[11:43] ---
    Come closer.
[12:06] ---
    Like you, I was brought here
[12:08] ---
    to become the vessel
    for the Nine Tails.
[12:11] ---
    I can imagine your shock
    when you learned of this.
[12:15] ---
    How sad you must have been.
[12:17] ---
    How you have suffered.
[12:21] ---
    You can tell me the truth.
[12:28] ---
    Yes…
[12:32] ---
    Now listen carefully.
[12:34] ---
    Indeed, we are the vessels
    for the Nine Tails.
[12:37] ---
    However, there is a way
    to find happiness
[12:43] ---
    even if you must live as a Jinchuriki.
[12:49] ---
    First…
[12:52] ---
    by filling ourselves.
[12:56] ---
    By filling myself with love first,
[13:01] ---
    I would be able to
    live a happy life
[13:04] ---
    despite being
    the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki.
[13:09] ---
    That is what Lady Mito taught me.
[13:11] ---
    So you were happy even if
    you were the Jinchuriki, Ma?
[13:18] ---
    Yes.
[13:27] ---
    Naruto… Now why are you crying?
[13:33] ---
    Wait…
[13:35] ---
    What is it?
[13:37] ---
    That time 16 years ago
[13:39] ---
    when the Nine Tails attacked
    Hidden Leaf Village…
[13:41] ---
    Dad said a man wearing
    an Akatsuki mask was behind it.
[13:48] ---
    So how come you had
    the Nine Tails, Mom?
[13:53] ---
    I see that your father didn't
    tell you all the details.
[13:57] ---
    Of course.
[14:00] ---
    Back then,
    there was so much going on
[14:03] ---
    and Minato didn't have much time.
[14:09] ---
    It's true. The fact is that,
    16 years ago,
[14:12] ---
    a masked man was manipulating
[14:13] ---
    the Nine Tails that
    attacked the village.
[14:17] ---
    But moments earlier,
[14:18] ---
    I had the Nine Tails sealed
    and in my possession.
[14:22] ---
    Then why?
[14:24] ---
    That masked man.
[14:26] ---
    I don't know how,
    but that masked man knew…
[14:30] ---
    Knew what?
[14:32] ---
    He knew about the one chance
    he had to weaken the seal,
[14:35] ---
    which kept the Tailed Beast
    locked inside the Jinchuriki.
[14:37] ---
    He waited for that moment
    to steal the Nine Tails.
[14:42] ---
    The one chance to weaken the seal?!
[14:45] ---
    What was it?
[14:48] ---
    It was childbirth.
[14:52] ---
    During the approximately
    ten months from the time
[14:54] ---
    a female Jinchuriki gets pregnant
    and gives birth,
[14:58] ---
    the Tailed Beast Seal
    weakens proportionally
[15:01] ---
    as the energy normally
    used to maintain the seal
[15:04] ---
    is diverted to the growing baby.
[15:09] ---
    Then…
[15:11] ---
    Sixteen years ago…on October 10…
[15:17] ---
    HIDDEN LEAF HOSPITAL
[15:20] ---
    Congratulations!
[15:23] ---
    What?
[15:25] ---
    Your due date is October 10!
[15:31] ---
    Oh then…yeah!
[15:33] ---
    Huh? A baby?
[15:36] ---
    I'm going to be a mother, ya know!
[15:42] ---
    And I'm going be a father.
[15:44] ---
    A mother, ya know!
[15:47] ---
    I'm going to be a father!
[15:50] ---
    A mother, ya know!
[15:54] ---
    Imagine that,
    I'm going to be a father!
[16:09] ---
    Kushina, there is something
    I must explain to you
[16:13] ---
    about giving birth.
[16:16] ---
    It happened to Lady Mito,
    the previous Jinchuriki, too.
[16:19] ---
    During her labor,
    the Nine Tails' seal was nearly broken.
[16:24] ---
    I'm sorry,
    but as a precautionary measure,
[16:26] ---
    we're going to ask you
    to deliver the child
[16:28] ---
    somewhere away from the village,
    inside a barrier.
[16:33] ---
    We have the seal to think of,
    so I will be accompanying you.
[16:39] ---
    Minato and Taji from
    the Anbu Black Ops.
[16:42] ---
    Also I will send my wife, Biwako,
    to be with you.
[16:47] ---
    This is to be done in utmost secrecy.
[16:52] ---
    Naturally, I will assign bodyguards,
[16:54] ---
    but they will be Anbu Black Ops
    under my direct orders.
[17:03] ---
    I'll go on ahead and
    prepare everything.
[17:07] ---
    All right.
[17:09] ---
    I will take you there.
[17:14] ---
    Kushina!
[17:15] ---
    Oh, yes.
[17:18] ---
    I appreciate it.
[17:23] ---
    We should go soon.
[17:26] ---
    Yes.
[17:34] ---
    Oh!
[17:38] ---
    Oh my…
[17:41] ---
    Was it a girl?
[17:44] ---
    It's a boy.
[17:45] ---
    So cute…
[17:48] ---
    What's your name?
[17:51] ---
    It's Sasuke.
[17:53] ---
    Oh, so he was named after
    father of the Third Hokage!
[17:57] ---
    Yes, so that he will grow up
    to be a strong and fine shinobi.
[18:02] ---
    You will be giving birth
    soon too, right, Kushina?
[18:05] ---
    You should pick a name
    in advance.
[18:08] ---
    I already have.
[18:10] ---
    His name will be Naruto.
[18:12] ---
    You'll be classmates, Sasuke,
    so be friends, okay?
[18:17] ---
    By the way, does it really hurt?
[18:22] ---
    So there's actually something
    that scares you, Kushina!
[18:26] ---
    I'm surprised!
[18:27] ---
    Let's go, Kushina!
[18:30] ---
    Oh, yes!
[18:32] ---
    See you again!
[18:34] ---
    The details of your birthing
    are supposed to be top secret.
[18:37] ---
    Until we get to our location,
[18:39] ---
    you must avoid any contact,
    even with your friends.
[18:42] ---
    Yes, I'm sorry.
[18:45] ---
    Also, we are leaving
    the village secretly.
[18:50] ---
    If your labor pains begin,
    try not to cry out loud!
[18:53] ---
    Oh…right.
[18:57] ---
    It hurts, ya know!
[19:08] ---
    BIND
    
    I've never seen Kushina
    in so much pain.
[19:13] ---
    Is she…all right?
[19:16] ---
    She's all right!
[19:18] ---
    Never mind that.
[19:19] ---
    Just stay focused
    on the Nine Tail's seal!
[19:24] ---
    But she's…
[19:27] ---
    You are the Fourth Hokage!
    Act like one!
[19:31] ---
    A man would have dropped dead
    from such pain long ago.
[19:34] ---
    But women are strong!
[19:47] ---
    He's so strong!
[19:48] ---
    The Nine Tails is struggling
    to get out!
[19:52] ---
    Hang in there, Kushina!
[19:54] ---
    Hang in there, Naruto!
[20:32] ---
    I can see his head!
    You're almost there, Kushina!
[20:36] ---
    Hang on, Kushina!
[20:42] ---
    Naruto! Come out quickly!
[20:46] ---
    Nine Tails, you stay put!
[20:59] ---
    Hot water!
[21:01] ---
    Right!
[22:40] ---
    Why is Nine Tails—?
    Was the seal released?
    
    
[22:44] ---
    Do not falter!
    
    
[22:45] ---
    Even if we can't defeat
    the Nine Tails,
    
    
[22:47] ---
    we must concentrate on
    evacuating the villagers!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    As Hokage, I will protect the village…
    my family…right now.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    This is what I need to do.
    
    
[22:57] ---
    Next Time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Fourth Hokage's Death Match!"
    
    
[23:02] ---
    I won't let you!
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
