**[01:40] ---**
*Thank You*
**[01:51] ---**
– Run!
– Help!
**[02:01] ---**
Iruka, are you all right?
**[02:06] ---**
Mom!
**[02:09] ---**
Dad! Mom's…!
**[02:11] ---**
Why didn't you stay
at the shelter?
**[02:15] ---**
I'll take care of Mom,
so hurry up and get out of here!
**[02:18] ---**
No, I won't!
**[02:19] ---**
I don't want to leave
you and Mom behind and run away!
**[02:23] ---**
I'll protect Mom!
**[02:25] ---**
Don't push your luck,
you're still a kid!
**[02:27] ---**
It's a parent's duty to
protect their children!
**[02:38] ---**
You must avoid damage
to the village!
**[02:40] ---**
Chase the Nine Tails
outside the village walls!
**[02:43] ---**
Yes sir!
**[02:44] ---**
Buy me time so that
I can execute my jutsu!
**[02:47] ---**
Do not slow down the attack!
**[02:49] ---**
Right! Let's go!
**[03:04] ---**
Ninja Art! Summoning!
**[03:06] ---**
Appear… Monkey King Enma!
**[03:14] ---**
The Nine Tails, huh.
**[03:16] ---**
So the seal was broken?
**[03:19] ---**
We're going to chase it out of the village
with the Adamantine Nyoi!
**[03:23] ---**
Got it! Transform!
**[03:30] ---**
Let's go, Enma!
**[03:32] ---**
Right!
**[03:34] ---**
Extend!
**[03:45] ---**
I've chased it out of the village.
**[03:48] ---**
Don't let up! Keep at him!
**[03:52] ---**
*Minato… Where are you?!*
**[03:59] ---**
I must hand it to
the Fourth Hokage.
**[04:01] ---**
You wounded me and managed
to pull out the Nine Tails.
**[04:06] ---**
However, the Nine Tails will
be mine eventually.
**[04:10] ---**
I am going to rule the world…
**[04:13] ---**
And there are so many ways
to go about doing that.
**[04:18] ---**
*That tone…*
*He's not joking around.*
**[04:33] ---**
Keep him occupied until
the Fourth Hokage arrives!
**[04:38] ---**
Iruka…
**[04:41] ---**
Let go of me!
**[04:43] ---**
My dad and my mom are…
still fighting!
**[04:50] ---**
BIND
**[04:53] ---**
Now listen up.
**[04:54] ---**
You young shinobi are to
stay away from Nine Tails.
**[04:58] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[04:59] ---**
This is not a battle
between villages.
**[05:02] ---**
This is domestic trouble.
**[05:04] ---**
There is no reason for you all
to risk your lives.
**[05:07] ---**
Speak for yourself!
**[05:09] ---**
Calm down, Kurenai!
**[05:11] ---**
You're a shinobi too.
**[05:13] ---**
We are not guaranteed
a long life.
**[05:16] ---**
But, my daughter…
**[05:19] ---**
At least, pass on the Will of Fire
to my grandchild.
**[05:24] ---**
Make that your oath to your father.
**[05:28] ---**
For I do believe in you.
**[05:37] ---**
This is terrible.
**[05:41] ---**
He's going to do that again?
**[05:43] ---**
Lord Third!
**[05:47] ---**
Summoning Jutsu!
**[05:51] ---**
This is…
**[05:52] ---**
It's the Fourth Hokage!
**[05:56] ---**
*I will rule the world.*
**[06:01] ---**
*Kushina, forgive me.*
**[06:04] ---**
Hold down the Nine Tails
for just a while!
**[06:07] ---**
That's going to be tough…
even for me!
**[06:11] ---**
In order to transport
something this big,
**[06:14] ---**
I'll need just as much chakra!
**[06:22] ---**
Minato…
**[06:24] ---**
Did he fly off with the Nine Tails?
**[06:28] ---**
That way!
**[06:40] ---**
I must put up a barrier immediately.
**[06:43] ---**
*My chakra is almost…*
**[06:45] ---**
I can still do it, Minato.
**[06:59] ---**
Kushina!
**[07:04] ---**
Did I wake you up?
**[07:06] ---**
I'm sorry, Naruto.
**[07:09] ---**
Kushina…
**[07:10] ---**
I'm going to draw the Nine Tails
with me to my death.
**[07:16] ---**
So we can delay the revival
of the Nine Tails.
**[07:23] ---**
I'll be able to save all of you
**[07:26] ---**
with what little chakra
I have left.
**[07:31] ---**
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.
**[07:38] ---**
FOURTH HOKAGE
Kushina…
**[07:39] ---**
FOURTH HOKAGE
It's because of you that
I'm the Fourth Hokage!
**[07:44] ---**
You made me a man!
**[07:48] ---**
And you made me
this baby's father!
**[07:52] ---**
And yet…
**[07:54] ---**
Minato, don't give me that look!
**[07:58] ---**
I'm happy that you loved me.
**[08:04] ---**
And today…is this child's birthday.
**[08:10] ---**
If I were to imagine me alive,
and our future together,
**[08:16] ---**
the three of us as a family…
**[08:19] ---**
I can't see us having
anything but a happy life.
**[08:28] ---**
If I were allowed just one regret,
**[08:32] ---**
it's that I won't be able
to see Naruto grow up.
**[08:36] ---**
How I wish I could have seen that.
**[08:40] ---**
Kushina, there is no need for you
to die with the Nine Tails.
**[08:46] ---**
Preserve what little chakra
you have left
**[08:49] ---**
for a reunion with Naruto.
**[08:52] ---**
I'll seal all of your remaining chakra
inside Naruto.
**[08:56] ---**
It will be part of
an Eight Signed Seal.
**[08:59] ---**
Then I'll take the Nine Tails
with me
**[09:03] ---**
with the only Sealing Jutsu I can do
since I'm not a Jinchuriki,
**[09:06] ---**
the Reaper Death Seal!
**[09:08] ---**
But the caster that uses that jutsu…!
**[09:11] ---**
And one more thing.
**[09:13] ---**
I will only seal half
of the Nine Tails.
**[09:16] ---**
Sealing a power this immense
is physically impossible.
**[09:20] ---**
It's also strategically unwise.
**[09:22] ---**
If you take the Nine Tails and
its seal with you when you die,
**[09:26] ---**
there won't be a Jinchuriki around
when he reemerges.
**[09:28] ---**
That will upset the balance of power
between the Tailed Beasts.
**[09:31] ---**
The Reaper Death Seal will seal
half of the Nine Tails with me forever.
**[09:36] ---**
As for the other half
of the Nine Tails…
**[09:41] ---**
*Perhaps you are*
*the Child of Prophecy.*
**[09:46] ---**
*What is it?*
**[09:49] ---**
*Sometime in the future,*
**[09:51] ---**
*the Shinobi World will face*
*a grave crisis.*
**[09:53] ---**
*The savior that will emerge*
*during this time*
**[09:55] ---**
*is the Child of Prophecy.*
**[09:57] ---**
I will seal it inside Naruto with
the Eight Signed Seal!
**[10:02] ---**
I know what you want to say.
**[10:04] ---**
But remember what Master Jiraiya
said about world upheaval.
**[10:09] ---**
And the calamities that would follow.
**[10:12] ---**
Two things were confirmed
for me today.
**[10:16] ---**
That masked man
who attacked you today
**[10:18] ---**
is a harbinger of disaster!
**[10:22] ---**
And the one who will
stop him is this child!
**[10:28] ---**
This infant whose godfather
is Master Jiraiya.
**[10:31] ---**
He will open up the future
as a Jinchuriki.
**[10:36] ---**
I don't know why,
but I'm convinced of this.
**[10:40] ---**
But Minato…!
**[10:49] ---**
Reaper Death Seal!
**[11:01] ---**
Let's put our trust in this child!
**[11:03] ---**
He's our son, after all!
**[11:06] ---**
Those signs. Don't tell me…!
**[11:09] ---**
Yes, it's the Reaper Death Seal.
**[11:13] ---**
When I'm finished with
the Reaper Death Seal,
**[11:15] ---**
I will seal your chakra
inside Naruto.
**[11:19] ---**
When he tries to control
the Nine Tail's power as a Jinchuriki,
**[11:22] ---**
I want you to help him out.
**[11:26] ---**
Our son…
**[11:29] ---**
He's our son,
**[11:31] ---**
which is why I don't want to
put such a terrible burden on him!
**[11:40] ---**
And also, why use
the Reaper Death Seal?
**[11:44] ---**
If it's just so I can meet
a grown-up Naruto
**[11:47] ---**
even if it's just for a short while,
**[11:50] ---**
there's no need for you to die!
**[11:54] ---**
I want you to stay by Naruto as
he grows up and protect him.
**[11:58] ---**
I don't get it!
**[12:00] ---**
To keep the balance
of Tailed Beasts?
**[12:02] ---**
For the sake of the nation
and the village?
**[12:05] ---**
Why must Naruto be sacrificed?!
**[12:08] ---**
Why must you sacrifice
yourself for me?!
**[12:14] ---**
To forsake one's nation,
and one's village,
**[12:18] ---**
is the same as forsaking one's child.
**[12:22] ---**
Your own homeland was destroyed,
so you of all people should know…
**[12:26] ---**
the harsh life that awaits
those without a country.
**[12:32] ---**
Besides, our family is…
**[12:35] ---**
shinobi!
**[12:39] ---**
And finally, even if I were to live,
I'm no match to you.
**[12:47] ---**
Even though you won't have
much time with him,
**[12:49] ---**
there are some things only you
as his mother can tell Naruto.
**[12:52] ---**
Things that I can't.
**[12:55] ---**
That's a mother's role.
**[12:58] ---**
I'm not doing this just for you.
I'm doing this for Naruto.
**[13:07] ---**
I will gladly die for my son.
**[13:09] ---**
It's my duty as his father.
**[13:22] ---**
Lord Third, what's wrong?!
**[13:27] ---**
It's no good.
**[13:28] ---**
I can't go further than
this point
**[13:30] ---**
because of the barrier put up to
keep Nine Tails from escaping!
**[13:33] ---**
Those two are planning to take care
of Nine Tails themselves!
**[13:43] ---**
*Damn you, Fourth Hokage!*
**[13:47] ---**
Seal!
**[13:56] ---**
*My body is getting numb…*
**[13:58] ---**
*I never expected*
*such massive chakra…*
**[14:03] ---**
*Damn you!*
**[14:05] ---**
It's the Reaper Death Seal,
after all.
**[14:08] ---**
He actually used it.
**[14:10] ---**
But the Nine Tails is still…!
**[14:12] ---**
Wasn't he able to
complete the seal?
**[14:14] ---**
It's gotten smaller, but…
**[14:17] ---**
All right,
next is the Eight Signed Seal.
**[14:21] ---**
I will seal the Nine Tails
inside Naruto.
**[14:24] ---**
*The Ritual Altar?*
**[14:26] ---**
*Does he intend to seal me again?*
**[14:29] ---**
*Furthermore…*
*Inside that baby?*
**[14:36] ---**
Kushina! Are you all right?
**[14:41] ---**
Right now!
**[15:07] ---**
I said that this was
the father's duty.
**[15:12] ---**
Then all the more,
since I'm his mother!
**[15:17] ---**
There's a child?
**[15:19] ---**
They shielded him.
**[15:20] ---**
*Why you—!*
**[15:25] ---**
This is the first time
I lost an argument.
**[15:30] ---**
Okay, I understand that
you're determined to do this.
**[15:36] ---**
Thank you, Kushina.
**[15:44] ---**
Summoning Jutsu!
**[15:50] ---**
Nine Tails!
**[15:51] ---**
What?! Lord Fourth too!
What's the meaning of this?!
**[15:54] ---**
Gerotora, I'm going to give you
the Sealing Formula's key.
**[15:58] ---**
Take it immediately to Master Jiraiya
and store it away.
**[16:02] ---**
I see…
**[16:03] ---**
Minato plans to make
his own son the Jinchuriki
**[16:07] ---**
to save the village.
**[16:10] ---**
You have my world. I confirm the key
is in my possession.
**[16:13] ---**
And now, I'm off!
**[16:19] ---**
That should do it.
**[16:25] ---**
Kushina, my time is running out.
**[16:30] ---**
I'm going start
the Eight Signed Seal.
**[16:34] ---**
I want to put some of
my chakra in Naruto too.
**[16:38] ---**
It'll be quite a while
before we can see him.
**[16:40] ---**
Let's tell him what
we want to say.
**[16:44] ---**
Naruto…
**[16:46] ---**
Don't be picky.
Eat lots and grow strong.
**[16:51] ---**
Make sure you bathe every day
and stay warm.
**[16:55] ---**
Also don't stay up late.
You need lots of sleep.
**[17:00] ---**
And make friends.
**[17:04] ---**
You don't need a lot of friends.
**[17:06] ---**
Just a few…
Ones you can really, really trust.
**[17:12] ---**
I wasn't very good at it,
**[17:15] ---**
but keep up with your studies
and practice your ninjutsu hard.
**[17:18] ---**
Remember that everyone has
strengths and weaknesses.
**[17:24] ---**
So don't get too depressed if
you can't do something well.
**[17:29] ---**
Respect your teachers and
upperclassmen at the Academy.
**[17:34] ---**
Oh, and this is important.
**[17:37] ---**
It's about the Three Prohibitions
for a shinobi.
**[17:40] ---**
Be extra careful about lending
and borrowing money.
**[17:44] ---**
Put your mission wages into
your savings account.
**[17:47] ---**
No alcohol until you're twenty.
**[17:50] ---**
Too much can ruin your health,
so drink in moderation.
**[17:55] ---**
Another Prohibition is women.
**[17:59] ---**
I'm a woman, so I don't know
too much about this but…
**[18:04] ---**
All you need to remember is that
**[18:06] ---**
this world is made up
of men and women.
**[18:09] ---**
So it's only natural to take
an interest in girls…
**[18:13] ---**
But just don't get hooked
on bad women.
**[18:16] ---**
Find someone just like me.
**[18:19] ---**
Speaking of the Three Prohibitions,
be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know.
**[18:30] ---**
Naruto, from now on,
**[18:33] ---**
you're going to face
lots of pain and hardship.
**[18:37] ---**
Be true to yourself.
**[18:40] ---**
Have a dream and
**[18:42] ---**
have the confidence to make
that dream come true!
**[18:47] ---**
There's so much…
**[18:50] ---**
Oh, so much more that
I want to pass on to you.
**[18:58] ---**
I wish I could stay with you longer.
**[19:01] ---**
I love you.
**[19:04] ---**
Minato, I'm sorry I used up
your time.
**[19:07] ---**
Oh, it's okay.
**[19:10] ---**
Naruto, my message to you is…
**[19:14] ---**
I guess it's the same as
your nagging mother's.
**[19:21] ---**
Eight Signed Seal.
**[19:34] ---**
I'm sorry for making you
the Nine Tail's vessel.
**[19:40] ---**
For putting our burden
on your shoulders…
**[19:43] ---**
For not being able
to live by your side…
**[19:47] ---**
For not being able to
shower you with love.
**[19:50] ---**
You don't have to apologize.
**[19:53] ---**
It was rough in the past
because I was a Jinchuriki.
**[19:58] ---**
But I never held it
against you or Dad.
**[20:03] ---**
I admit I didn't really know
what parental love was.
**[20:08] ---**
After all,
you and Dad weren't around.
**[20:12] ---**
I just had a feeling.
**[20:14] ---**
But I know now that you and Dad
gave your lives just for me.
**[20:20] ---**
And I realize that even more
than the Nine Tails,
**[20:23] ---**
my vessel is filled with your love!
**[20:25] ---**
I'm happy!
**[20:27] ---**
I'm glad I'm your son,
Mom and Dad!
**[20:31] ---**
*Minato, are you listening?*
**[20:34] ---**
*Our hopes did reach our boy!*
**[20:39] ---**
Naruto…
**[20:40] ---**
Thank you for letting me
be your mom.
**[20:44] ---**
And thank you for letting
Minato be your dad.
**[20:49] ---**
Thank you for being born to us!
**[20:55] ---**
Thank you…
**[21:01] ---**
so very much.
**[22:37] ---**
Naruto faced and defeated
his true self here.
**[22:41] ---**
Guy, why don't you try it out
for yourself!
**[22:42] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[22:43] ---**
I came here to help Naruto!
**[22:47] ---**
Are you afraid to face
your true self?
**[22:50] ---**
What did you say?
**[22:51] ---**
Okay then, I'll try it out!
**[22:53] ---**
I have a feeling your true self
isn't human!
**[22:55] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Battle in Paradise!
Odd Beast vs. The Monster!"
**[23:01] ---**
Is that my true self?
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
