**[01:49] ---**
He's born!
**[01:52] ---**
*The Fourth Hokage's Death Match!*
**[02:01] ---**
I'm a father today!
**[02:04] ---**
He's a healthy babe.
**[02:08] ---**
Naruto!
**[02:10] ---**
Don't touch him!
**[02:12] ---**
The mother sees him first.
**[02:21] ---**
Naruto…
**[02:25] ---**
I finally get to see you.
**[02:29] ---**
You'll have lots more time later.
**[02:32] ---**
There, there.
**[02:39] ---**
How are you feeling, Kushina?
**[02:44] ---**
Okay.
**[02:47] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:49] ---**
Minato…
**[02:53] ---**
All right!
**[02:54] ---**
I know you've gone
through childbirth,
**[02:57] ---**
but I'm going to completely
seal the Nine Tails!
**[03:02] ---**
Lady Biwako!
**[03:03] ---**
Taji!
**[03:05] ---**
Fourth Hokage Minato,
get away from the Jinchuriki.
**[03:11] ---**
Otherwise, this child's life
will end in one minute.
**[03:18] ---**
*How did he get past*
*the barrier?*
**[03:21] ---**
*This guy…*
**[03:23] ---**
*Who the hell is he?*
**[03:28] ---**
Kushina!
**[03:29] ---**
*The Nine Tails Seal is still…*
**[03:32] ---**
Get away from the Jinchuriki.
**[03:35] ---**
Don't you care
what happens to your kid?
**[03:37] ---**
Wait! Calm down!
**[03:40] ---**
Speak for yourself, Minato.
**[03:43] ---**
I'm as cool as can be.
**[03:46] ---**
Naruto!
**[03:56] ---**
Well, I must hand it to
the Yellow Flash.
**[04:01] ---**
But I wonder about this next one.
**[04:06] ---**
Minato!
**[04:07] ---**
Naruto!
**[04:23] ---**
Thank goodness…
Naruto isn't hurt.
**[04:31] ---**
*I was forced to use*
*the Flying Raijin Jutsu.*
**[04:36] ---**
*His target is Kushina…*
**[04:39] ---**
*and he succeeded in separating us.*
**[04:42] ---**
*I must hurry.*
**[05:02] ---**
Just what…do you want?
**[05:08] ---**
I'm going to pull the Nine Tails
out from you
**[05:10] ---**
and destroy the Hidden Leaf.
**[05:13] ---**
What?
**[05:15] ---**
Minato's Teleportation Jutsu
allows him to move instantly
**[05:19] ---**
between locations marked
with Jutsu Formulas.
**[05:23] ---**
He made sure to mark
your Sealing Formula with it too…
**[05:30] ---**
in order to protect you.
**[05:32] ---**
However, I managed to put
a distance between you.
**[05:35] ---**
Furthermore, the Nine Tails' Seal
has been weakened from childbirth.
**[05:39] ---**
Do you know how long
I've waited for this moment?
**[05:45] ---**
You'll be safe here.
**[05:48] ---**
Naruto, just wait awhile.
**[05:52] ---**
I have to go and save your mother.
**[06:04] ---**
You are…
**[06:42] ---**
Now then, come out Nine Tails!
**[07:14] ---**
Good.
**[07:16] ---**
Now I'll go straight
to Hidden Leaf Village.
**[07:21] ---**
Hold it.
**[07:23] ---**
Uzumaki Shinobi are amazing.
**[07:27] ---**
You don't die right away after
the Tailed Beast is extracted.
**[07:34] ---**
You were the Jinchuriki
of the Nine Tails.
**[07:41] ---**
I'll use him to kill you.
**[07:54] ---**
I must say,
you're as quick as your nickname.
**[07:57] ---**
But you are too late.
**[08:01] ---**
Minato…
**[08:04] ---**
Is Naruto…Is he safe?
**[08:07] ---**
Yes, he's fine.
**[08:10] ---**
He's in a safe place for now.
**[08:13] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[08:16] ---**
Minato, you must stop that man
and the Nine Tails right now.
**[08:22] ---**
He's heading for Hidden Leaf Village.
**[08:30] ---**
He flew off again.
**[08:33] ---**
Well, never mind.
**[08:34] ---**
We're heading for
the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[08:43] ---**
Why?
**[08:44] ---**
Never mind that.
**[08:46] ---**
Just stay with Naruto.
**[08:58] ---**
Naruto…
**[09:11] ---**
Minato… Thank you.
**[09:15] ---**
Good luck.
**[09:17] ---**
FOURTH HOKAGE
**[09:19] ---**
FOURTH HOKAGE
I'll be right back.
**[09:33] ---**
Oh, another falling star!
**[09:35] ---**
Did you make a wish this time?
**[09:38] ---**
Oh, I forgot.
**[09:48] ---**
What do you mean
you're going out now?
**[09:51] ---**
Well, the guys are getting together.
**[09:54] ---**
I have to go out sometimes!
**[09:55] ---**
"Sometimes"?
It's been every night lately!
**[09:58] ---**
I'll be sure to come home early.
**[10:01] ---**
Thank you!
**[10:02] ---**
Thanks, I'll come again.
**[10:11] ---**
Hey! Watch where you're walking.
**[10:15] ---**
Why don't we just do
Rock-Paper-Scissors again tonight?
**[10:18] ---**
Not that again!
Think of something more exciting!
**[10:21] ---**
How can you call yourself my rival?
**[10:24] ---**
We have an early start tomorrow.
So let's pass for tonight.
**[10:28] ---**
Don't use a mission
as an excuse!
**[10:30] ---**
I have all this pent-up energy
inside me!
**[10:33] ---**
Now is the time for diligent training!
**[10:36] ---**
Honest-to-goodness discipline
and hard work
**[10:39] ---**
lead to success in future missions!
**[10:41] ---**
Are you listening to me?!
**[10:44] ---**
Say Guy…
**[10:45] ---**
Do you sense anything weird?
**[10:47] ---**
There's been a chill in the air.
**[10:50] ---**
It's your attitude that's causing it!
**[10:52] ---**
We're only young once!
**[11:03] ---**
What is this feeling?
**[11:11] ---**
There, there…
**[11:13] ---**
*It's a strange feeling.*
**[11:15] ---**
*Of all times for Mom*
*and Dad to be out.*
**[11:21] ---**
Don't cry, Sasuke.
**[11:23] ---**
No matter what happens,
**[11:24] ---**
your big brother will
definitely protect you.
**[11:34] ---**
*It can't be…*
**[11:45] ---**
Summoning Jutsu!
**[12:04] ---**
– What happened?
– Is it an accident?
**[12:06] ---**
That's…!
**[12:11] ---**
N-No way…!
**[12:17] ---**
The Nine Tails!
**[12:18] ---**
– Run!
– It's the Nine Tails!
**[12:20] ---**
– Help!
– We're done for!
**[12:21] ---**
Go, Nine Tails!
**[12:44] ---**
Lord Third Hokage!
**[12:45] ---**
The Nine Tails is…!
**[12:47] ---**
The Nine Tails has suddenly
appeared in the village!
**[12:49] ---**
I'm aware of that.
I will suppress it.
**[12:53] ---**
You and the others protect
the civilians!
**[12:55] ---**
Yes sir!
**[12:57] ---**
*Was Kushina's seal broken?*
**[13:00] ---**
*Despite all the precautions,*
*did we fail?*
**[13:04] ---**
*Biwako…*
**[13:07] ---**
Damn you, Nine Tails!
**[13:09] ---**
This is the moment
I release my pent-up power!
**[13:11] ---**
Don't be hasty, Guy!
**[13:13] ---**
Come on! I'll be your opponent!
**[13:15] ---**
– Wait!
– Huh?
**[13:17] ---**
Gather immediately in the guardroom!
**[13:19] ---**
Why?
**[13:21] ---**
It's the Third Hokage's orders!
**[13:23] ---**
Lord Hiruzen?
**[13:25] ---**
You heard. Let's go, Guy!
**[13:31] ---**
Now's our chance!
Evacuate the civilians!
**[13:36] ---**
Are we ready?
**[13:38] ---**
Yes!
**[13:42] ---**
Over here, Nine Tails!
**[13:48] ---**
Over here, Nine Tails!
**[13:51] ---**
Where are you looking?!
**[13:54] ---**
Over here.
**[13:59] ---**
Do not falter!
**[14:00] ---**
Even if we can't defeat the Nine Tails,
**[14:01] ---**
we must concentrate on
evacuating the villagers!
**[14:07] ---**
Do not take action on your own!
**[14:09] ---**
Assemble before Lord Hiruzen!
**[14:12] ---**
Carry out the orders!
**[14:32] ---**
*As Hokage,**
**[14:34] ---**
*I will protect the village,*
*my family, right now.*
**[14:36] ---**
*This is what I need to do.*
**[14:41] ---**
*I won't allow it to do*
*as it pleases anymore!*
**[14:49] ---**
So you've taken notice of me.
**[14:56] ---**
You won't get your way here!
**[15:19] ---**
*For this large a scale,**
**[15:20] ---**
*I'll have to be careful*
*where I send it.*
**[15:23] ---**
The jutsu that stopped
the Nine Tails' attack
**[15:26] ---**
must be the Teleportation Barrier!
**[15:28] ---**
It's Minato?
**[15:30] ---**
All right! We're going too!
**[15:32] ---**
Right!
**[15:33] ---**
*I must report all that's happened*
*to Lord Third immediately.*
**[15:48] ---**
I'm your opponent…
and it's all over.
**[15:59] ---**
He flew away. He's fast.
**[16:02] ---**
Next time, I'll get him faster.
**[16:06] ---**
The instant we make contact.
**[16:12] ---**
*My attack missed.*
**[16:15] ---**
*But he materialized and*
*instantly tried to drag me in.*
**[16:20] ---**
*What is that jutsu?*
**[16:29] ---**
I won't let you get away.
**[16:31] ---**
*He uses the Teleportation Jutsu too?*
**[16:35] ---**
*Is that how he took Kushina*
*and moved away so quickly?*
**[16:40] ---**
*A shinobi who outmaneuvered the Anbu*
*assigned under Lord Third's direct control…*
**[16:43] ---**
*who slipped through*
*a top-secret barrier…*
**[16:46] ---**
*and who knew that*
*the Nine Tails' Seal*
**[16:48] ---**
*would weaken during childbirth.*
**[16:51] ---**
*Furthermore, he undid*
*the Nine Tails' Seal,*
**[16:53] ---**
*tamed it and…*
**[16:57] ---**
*went in and out of the barrier*
**[16:59] ---**
*set up by the Hidden Leaf*
*without being caught.*
**[17:03] ---**
*I know of only one shinobi*
*capable of this.*
**[17:10] ---**
Are you Madara Uchiha?
**[17:17] ---**
No, that's impossible.
**[17:20] ---**
He's dead.
**[17:22] ---**
I wonder about that.
**[17:26] ---**
At this point,
it doesn't matter who you are.
**[17:30] ---**
But why are you targeting
the Hidden Leaf?
**[17:34] ---**
I could say I did it on a whim,
or that I planned it,
**[17:39] ---**
or that it's war,
**[17:42] ---**
or that it's for peace.
**[17:47] ---**
*Whatever the case,*
*he's no ordinary man!*
**[17:49] ---**
*He can control the Nine Tails*
*and his Teleportation Jutsu surpasses*
**[17:53] ---**
*both Lord Second's and mine.*
**[17:55] ---**
*And he has some*
*dangerous ideology.*
**[17:59] ---**
*I must deal with him now*
**[18:02] ---**
*or he'll be even more trouble*
*than the Nine Tails!*
**[18:06] ---**
*If I transport myself to*
*the village now,*
**[18:08] ---**
*he will follow and the battlefield*
*will become even more chaotic.*
**[18:13] ---**
*If he's anything like Madara,*
**[18:15] ---**
*I can't keep the Nine Tails under*
*the Summoning Jutsu for too long.*
**[18:20] ---**
*I just have to entrust*
*the village to Lord Third.*
**[18:23] ---**
*As for me…*
**[18:24] ---**
*I must take this guy*
*down right here!*
**[18:27] ---**
Now that I have freed the Nine Tails,
**[18:30] ---**
you people have no hope left!
**[18:47] ---**
*His flesh…*
**[18:49] ---**
*My physical attacks have*
*no effect on him,*
**[18:51] ---**
*but he makes himself materialize*
*to attack me.*
**[18:54] ---**
*Namely, I can only aim for him*
*when we both strike blows!*
**[18:59] ---**
*But his risk lies during*
*the moment of attack.*
**[19:03] ---**
*And considering the time remaining*
*on the Nine Tails' Summoning Jutsu,*
**[19:07] ---**
*he doesn't relish a long battle either.*
**[19:11] ---**
*The one who attacks*
*an instant quicker than the other…*
**[19:14] ---**
*will win this match!*
**[19:45] ---**
I win.
**[19:56] ---**
*Damn it! He flew to that*
*kunai from earlier!*
**[20:00] ---**
That was my Flying Raijin, Level 2.
**[20:31] ---**
You got me.
**[20:33] ---**
This is what is meant by "elusive."
**[20:36] ---**
I should never have let down my guard.
**[20:41] ---**
*Flying Raijin Jutsu!*
**[20:43] ---**
*So that's it…*
**[20:44] ---**
*He marked my body somewhere!*
**[20:48] ---**
A Contract Seal?
**[20:50] ---**
He intends to separate
the Nine Tails from me?
**[20:53] ---**
With this, the Nine Tails
no longer belongs to you!
**[22:37] ---**
Naruto, our newborn son!
**[22:41] ---**
I wish I could've been with you.
**[22:43] ---**
But our family is shinobi.
**[22:45] ---**
We must sacrifice our lives to
protect what we believe in!
**[22:48] ---**
Don't forget us Naruto.
We love you forever.
**[22:54] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Thank You"
**[22:58] ---**
I'm going to seal
the Nine Tails in Naruto!
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
