**[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!
