[00:07] ---
    Lost sight of my target.
[00:10] ---
    That spy pulled one over me.
    Should have figured out their intent…
[00:23] ---
    Are you all right, Guy Sensei?
[00:26] ---
    I'll help you out!
[00:30] ---
    Hey! Do not touch Guy right now!
[00:33] ---
    He'll be experiencing the after-effects
    of the Eight Inner Gates soon.
[00:35] ---
    Even the slightest touch will cause him
    intense pain all over his body!
[00:38] ---
    What? Really?
[00:42] ---
    I'm sorry, ya know!
[00:45] ---
    Quietly, quietly!
[00:47] ---
    Because of the Water Prison Jutsu,
[00:49] ---
    I wasn't able to send a message
    about the intel leak.
[00:53] ---
    I think we can conclude that
    the enemy knows about this location.
[00:57] ---
    Which means we must act quickly
    to relocate Bee and Naruto!
[01:02] ---
    The enemy will figure that out too
    and take immediate action!
[01:06] ---
    I understand, but…
[01:11] ---
    We will relocate them, but not by ship.
[01:13] ---
    They will remain on this island.
[01:15] ---
    What?
[01:16] ---
    Leave him alone!
[01:17] ---
    Bee! How did it go?
[01:19] ---
    Not good!
[01:20] ---
    Fool, ya fool.
[01:23] ---
    What do you mean when
    you say you'll relocate them,
[01:25] ---
    but they'll remain on this island?
[01:28] ---
    You can't even find this island
    on a map.
[01:30] ---
    Even if they try to find it,
    it won't be that simple.
[01:35] ---
    The reason is because
    this island…
[01:41] ---
    Y-You're huge!
[01:44] ---
    But I am still a very,
    very small turtle.
[01:49] ---
    Impossible!
[01:50] ---
    I've never seen nor heard of
    any turtle larger than you!
[02:02] ---
    What did you say?!
[02:04] ---
    Yes, a mobile stronghold,
    an island that can move.
[02:09] ---
    This is a colossal turtle reared
    by the Hidden Cloud since ancient times.
[02:17] ---
    Ouch!
[02:19] ---
    We can say for sure that
    the enemy knows about this.
[02:22] ---
    However, this island is much safer
[02:25] ---
    than returning to the Hidden Cloud
    Village by ship.
[02:28] ---
    Besides, hasn't Naruto been told
    that he's here on this island
[02:31] ---
    for a top-secret ecological
    survey mission?
[02:34] ---
    He'll get suspicious if
    we tell him we're already leaving.
[02:36] ---
    It seriously hurts!
[04:13] ---
    The Super Secret S-Rank Mission
[04:23] ---
    The Five Great Nations face
    an extremely critical situation.
[04:26] ---
    And as they prepare for
    the Fourth Great Ninja War,
[04:29] ---
    there is concern that the shinobi and
    samurai units will not be sufficient.
[04:32] ---
    Hence, a third military unit,
    made up of animals will be formed.
[04:37] ---
    To this end, it has been decided
    that a Jinchuriki
[04:39] ---
    who is able to communicate with
    and understand animals…
[04:42] ---
    One who loves animals
    like Naruto Uzumaki will be given
[04:45] ---
    the task of selecting and
    organizing this animal unit.
[04:50] ---
    He will start by analyzing
    the biology of the animals,
[04:54] ---
    – Can we pass off…
    – then ascertain their strengths…
[04:56] ---
    – such a childish trick?
    – and categorize them…
[04:58] ---
    – We have to.
    – by gender and physical attributes.
[05:00] ---
    This is a top-secret S-rank mission!
[05:03] ---
    Work diligently.
[05:06] ---
    Fifth Hokage Tsunade of
    the Hidden Leaf Village.
[05:18] ---
    This…
[05:19] ---
    – This?!
    – This?!
[05:21] ---
    This is the kind of brainy mission
    I've been waiting for!
[05:25] ---
    It's kind of like the ones
    that Shikamaru always gets…
[05:27] ---
    where you coordinate people!
[05:29] ---
    We're talking animals.
[05:31] ---
    Leave it to Naruto…
    He didn't notice.
[05:34] ---
    They say that Jinchuriki are odd people.
[05:38] ---
    And that's putting it mildly.
[05:42] ---
    Granny Lady Tsunade understands!
[05:44] ---
    She wants to test
    my leadership skills!
[05:47] ---
    All right! I'm raring to go
    on this mission!
[05:50] ---
    While you're doing that,
    I'll work on a new rap.
[05:54] ---
    I don't owe you anything anymore,
    not even a scrap! Yeah!
[05:57] ---
    Don't "yeah" me!
    You have to help me!
[06:01] ---
    You know all about the animals
    on this island, don't you?
[06:03] ---
    Ask King!
[06:05] ---
    He's the boss of this island!
[06:08] ---
    King?
[06:13] ---
    Hey! Can you help me out here?
[06:15] ---
    I'm looking for the strongest ones
    on this island!
[06:21] ---
    I really can't understand
    a thing you're saying!
[06:24] ---
    Master King is saying to show him
    your proof of loyalty.
[06:28] ---
    Proof of loyalty?
[06:30] ---
    Hey! That voice!
[06:33] ---
    Condor the Ninja Ostrich?!
[06:35] ---
    Did you run away again?!
[06:40] ---
    Actually, I stowed away on your ship.
[06:46] ---
    Now I'm free!
[06:49] ---
    Freedom!
[06:52] ---
    Unfortunately for you,
[06:54] ---
    the animals on this island
    are going to serve in an animal unit.
[06:59] ---
    Looking forward to working with you!
[07:03] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
[07:04] ---
    I don't want to go to war!
[07:06] ---
    Really? Then listen up…
[07:10] ---
    If you serve as my animal translator,
    I'll let you go.
[07:15] ---
    Damn it…
[07:25] ---
    This is his proof…his kiss of love.
[07:29] ---
    Come on! Give me a break!
[07:39] ---
    Master King says he understands.
[07:42] ---
    Besides him, the strong ones
    on this island are…
[07:51] ---
    Don the giant koala.
[07:53] ---
    DON THE KOALA
[08:00] ---
    Chuji the giant penguin.
[08:02] ---
    CHUJI THE PENGUIN
[08:06] ---
    And the giant lame-o…
    I mean hippo, Hippo Boss.
[08:11] ---
    HIPPO BOSS
[08:15] ---
    Keep them apart!
[08:17] ---
    He says if they come face to face,
    they'll destroy the island.
[08:23] ---
    They're scary animals…
[08:46] ---
    Yikes! They're already
    confronting each other!
[09:05] ---
    King is totally the fiercest!
[09:13] ---
    What are they saying?
[09:17] ---
    This seems to be a four-way
    love affair involving one female.
[09:21] ---
    What did you say?!
[09:24] ---
    Each one is claiming their affections
    for her and won't budge.
[09:31] ---
    Master King is demanding that
    she be brought here…
[09:35] ---
    to choose among them.
[09:38] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[09:47] ---
    What's that?
[10:03] ---
    Huh? What the—?
[10:10] ---
    This is mayhem.
[10:13] ---
    What? What's going on?
[10:18] ---
    He's saying, "Armadiko is my girl!"
[10:21] ---
    Huh?!
[10:28] ---
    "Stop fighting!"
[10:29] ---
    "Don't fight over me," she says.
[10:34] ---
    "I am not your commodity," she says.
[10:41] ---
    "I belong to this one," she says!
[10:45] ---
    Huh?!
[10:50] ---
    They said they're going to
    beat you to death!
[11:02] ---
    This is perfect!
[11:04] ---
    Now's my chance to slip away.
[11:06] ---
    No way am I going to war! I'm free!
[11:13] ---
    Freedom!
[11:24] ---
    Wait…
[11:25] ---
    I will go to the Eight and
    Nine Tails' location.
[11:31] ---
    What are you up to?
[11:33] ---
    It's a good chance to build trust
    and solidify our relationship.
[11:38] ---
    Furthermore, Naruto,
    the Nine Tails,
[11:41] ---
    always has someone close by
    in the form of Yamato,
[11:43] ---
    the copy of the First Hokage.
[11:46] ---
    I want him for my experiments.
[11:50] ---
    If I can't go,
    I'd settle for Zetsu's body.
[11:55] ---
    If you'd let me have some of him.
[11:59] ---
    Also, the revival of the Ten Tails
    isn't far off, is it?
[12:04] ---
    You seem to be very well informed.
[12:08] ---
    I knew Orochimaru was secretly
    checking around, but…
[12:14] ---
    According to intel that Kisame sent,
[12:17] ---
    the Allied Shinobi Force
    is 80,000 strong.
[12:20] ---
    We also know what
    their military formation is like.
[12:22] ---
    But the key military power for
    this side is Zetsu here, right?
[12:27] ---
    Just how much do you know?!
[12:30] ---
    With the data I have gathered
    and my knowledge,
[12:33] ---
    I can maximize Zetsu's strength.
[12:36] ---
    On the condition that
    you take me there.
[12:42] ---
    What are you going to do, Tobi?
[12:45] ---
    Will you trust a guy like him?
[12:54] ---
    If you bring me the Nine Tails,
    I will give you one of Zetsu.
[12:59] ---
    Follow me.
[13:10] ---
    This is…
[13:14] ---
    the Gedo Statue.
[13:23] ---
    It's down here.
[13:47] ---
    This is…
[13:48] ---
    Yes, he's alive.
[13:53] ---
    That's Hashirama Senju,
    the First Hokage.
[13:58] ---
    Well, he was merely cultivated
    from living cells
[14:02] ---
    harvested from Senju
    during that battle.
[14:06] ---
    He's not conscious.
[14:08] ---
    But what you're interested in
    is down below.
[14:15] ---
    This is amazing. Since when?
[14:18] ---
    However, there's a risk.
[14:21] ---
    I used a considerable amount
    of chakra
[14:23] ---
    from the Tailed Beasts inside
    the Gedo Statue to create this.
[14:27] ---
    I want to preserve it
    as much as possible.
[14:29] ---
    If the revival of
    the Ten Tails is delayed,
[14:31] ---
    it means my plans are
    delayed as well.
[14:34] ---
    How many are here?
[14:48] ---
    Roughly 100,000.
[15:00] ---
    To arrive here to find that
    intel has been leaked…
[15:02] ---
    We'll have to rethink our strategy.
[15:06] ---
    But as long as they know that
[15:07] ---
    the Allied Shinobi Forces
    are aware of the leak,
[15:10] ---
    they will watch the situation.
[15:13] ---
    Perhaps it will be easier
    to lay some traps.
[15:16] ---
    What about the island?
[15:18] ---
    Even if it's mobile,
    we can't let our guard down.
[15:21] ---
    Those two are their targets.
[15:23] ---
    They are sure to come
    in search of them.
[15:26] ---
    I established an escape route
    just for situations like this.
[15:31] ---
    In addition, the clouds hide it.
[15:33] ---
    The enemy will not be able
    to find it.
[15:36] ---
    If they come searching,
[15:37] ---
    the enemy will probably
    send a small reconnaissance team first.
[15:41] ---
    They won't infiltrate and try
    to divide our troops, will they?
[15:46] ---
    There's no doubt Kisame put
    the coordinates of the island on the map.
[15:50] ---
    Even if we move,
    they will search the area thoroughly.
[15:54] ---
    We can't lose focus.
[15:56] ---
    In any case, send reinforcements.
[15:58] ---
    But it will be meaningless
[16:00] ---
    if the enemy spots us
    mobilizing large groups.
[16:03] ---
    Send a few of the elite.
[16:07] ---
    I will go!
[16:08] ---
    Lord Tsuchikage!
[16:11] ---
    Old Ohnoki?
    Then I have no complaints.
[16:14] ---
    Same here.
[16:15] ---
    Someone who can fly through
    the air will move swiftly.
[16:19] ---
    Is it really all right?
[16:21] ---
    Don't worry, Kazekage!
[16:23] ---
    I am the Tsuchikage,
[16:25] ---
    feared as the Fence Sitter
    of the Hidden Stone!
[16:31] ---
    My back!
[16:32] ---
    I will go, after all.
[16:34] ---
    I can ride my sand and
    be there in no time…
[16:35] ---
    Fool! I said I would go.
[16:45] ---
    Well, you guys relax.
[16:49] ---
    We're off.
[16:56] ---
    It's the ocean from here on out.
[16:58] ---
    We'll have to fly.
[17:00] ---
    Yay! It's been so long since I flew!
[17:03] ---
    This is going to be fun!
[17:05] ---
    Don't get so excited, Akatsuchi!
[17:07] ---
    We could be entering into a battle!
[17:12] ---
    Yay!
[17:13] ---
    I said to quit playing around,
    you brat!
[17:15] ---
    You're so embarrassing!
[17:16] ---
    Damn it! It does looks like fun!
[17:19] ---
    But I can't get excited right now.
[17:22] ---
    Damn that Akatsuchi!
[17:23] ---
    You're up next Kurotsuchi.
[17:27] ---
    Guess I have no choice…
[17:31] ---
    Looks like you're awake at last.
[17:35] ---
    It's a different seal from
    Lord Orochimaru's.
[17:38] ---
    I won't bind you completely…Deidara.
[17:43] ---
    I don't know anything about art.
[17:46] ---
    And I know little about you.
[17:48] ---
    Well, my ninjutsu art isn't easy
    to understand… Hmm!
[17:57] ---
    But I'm grateful to you.
    I once perfected the ultimate art.
[18:02] ---
    So now I can even go even further…
[18:05] ---
    Speaking of which,
    that last explosion of yours…
[18:09] ---
    It really didn't create a lot of buzz.
[18:13] ---
    I just told you!
[18:14] ---
    My art is not easy to understand!
[18:16] ---
    These things take time… Hmm…
[18:23] ---
    I said to line up straight!
[18:26] ---
    Hurry and get into the tunnel!
[18:29] ---
    Listen up! The ecological survey
    will start once you're inside.
[18:34] ---
    Cut it out!
[18:36] ---
    You want to fight again?
[18:41] ---
    Damn it! It's tough moving
    all these animals.
[18:48] ---
    I win again! Rock, Scissors, Paper!
[18:51] ---
    And I'm going to win again
    forever and ever!
[18:53] ---
    Hey you there, octopus and crab!
[18:55] ---
    Line up! Hey!
[18:58] ---
    As long as there is a risk of
    the Akatsuki coming,
[19:01] ---
    taking refuge inside
    the giant turtle shell is a wise move.
[19:05] ---
    Plus, Naruto is really taking
    this mission seriously.
[19:10] ---
    It will be disastrous if
    Naruto finds out about the war.
[19:15] ---
    He won't take the news quietly,
    he'd rush to the battlefield instead.
[19:18] ---
    We must prevent that at all cost.
[19:21] ---
    After all, this is a war to protect Naruto.
[19:27] ---
    Based on Kisame's intel,
    these are the coordinates.
[19:32] ---
    But they've already moved out.
[19:42] ---
    That was a light punch.
[19:44] ---
    I'm certain this person is…
[19:46] ---
    Of all the people to ambush me,
[19:48] ---
    it's none other than
    the Tsuchikage himself.
[19:49] ---
    I was just testing you out.
[19:51] ---
    Judging from your response,
    you're a clone!
[19:55] ---
    It wasn't Madara, after all.
[19:59] ---
    And…
[20:00] ---
    What's going on with bird and Deidara?
[20:03] ---
    Let's just say, they're almost real.
[20:07] ---
    However, you are…
[20:11] ---
    a clay clone.
[20:13] ---
    Hey, Old Man Ohnoki.
[20:16] ---
    Long time no see!
[20:18] ---
    You too, huh?
[22:07] ---
    So what's going on with
    that Turtle Island?!
    
    
[22:09] ---
    The Eight Tails and Nine Tails
    are there.
    
    
[22:12] ---
    The Eight and Nine Tails?
    
    
[22:13] ---
    So that means that
    damn Naruto is there! Hmm!
    
    
[22:17] ---
    Isn't he the perfect opponent
    to "exhibit" your art to?
    
    
[22:20] ---
    First, stop the Turtle Island's movements.
    
    
[22:23] ---
    Deidara, make me a big one.
    
    
[22:26] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Artist Returns"
    
    
[22:30] ---
    Let's make this one flashy! Hmm!
    THE ARTIST RETURNS
[22:33] ---
    THE ARTIST RETURNS
[22:35] ---
    ROCK LEE'S SILLY CHRONICLES
    PART 3
[22:40] ---
    Guy Sensei!
[22:41] ---
    Lee!
[22:42] ---
    When it's necessary to use
    the Drunken Fist…
[22:45] ---
    Eat this! A Chocolate Bomb that
    only good children can eat.
[22:51] ---
    Yes, Guy Sensei!
[22:54] ---
    Down the hatch!
[22:56] ---
    That's so weird…
[22:57] ---
    What's the matter?
[22:58] ---
    I had a bomb right here, but…
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
