**[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!
