**[00:06] ---**
All right!
**[00:07] ---**
I'm going to start on
the ecological survey!
**[00:13] ---**
Hey!
**[00:14] ---**
Hey wait!
**[00:22] ---**
Hey Octopops, I can't tell whether
this one's a male or female.
**[00:26] ---**
Its body's all curled up.
**[00:28] ---**
This armadillo's always been shy.
**[00:32] ---**
If you're trying to check
its gender,
**[00:34] ---**
I can see why.
**[00:35] ---**
The chorus sings out about
this super abnormality…
**[00:37] ---**
Because now we see
a human's real pervert personality…
**[00:40] ---**
I have no choice!
**[00:41] ---**
This is a top-secret
S-rank mission and
**[00:44] ---**
I have to make the list
for the Animal Unit!
**[00:47] ---**
And checking for gender is crucial!
**[00:51] ---**
Male, female, it don't matter.
**[00:53] ---**
So just report that it's the latter.
**[01:05] ---**
But! But!
**[01:07] ---**
The markings on
the back read "Male."
**[01:10] ---**
That's just a pattern.
**[01:13] ---**
I just have a bad feeling
about this.
**[01:19] ---**
Ask the armadillo will ya,
old man?
**[01:22] ---**
You're the boss here, right?
**[01:26] ---**
Well?
**[01:32] ---**
It says its, "privates are private!"
**[01:35] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[01:37] ---**
Damn it!
How can I do any research?
**[01:40] ---**
This S-rank mission is
living up to its rank…or is it?!
**[01:45] ---**
Male and female…
**[01:46] ---**
Some species can switch
between both, yo!
**[01:50] ---**
But heaven and earth
can never switch places, yo!
**[01:52] ---**
Fool, ya fool…
**[02:19] ---**
*What?! Something is approaching*
*at high speed!*
**[02:23] ---**
*And it's…not human!*
**[02:27] ---**
What's the matter?
**[02:46] ---**
You took me by surprise.
**[02:48] ---**
I had heard that
you were dead, Deidara.
**[02:51] ---**
I never expected your clay clones.
**[02:54] ---**
So that was…
**[02:56] ---**
…a stone clone of the Tsuchikage.
**[02:58] ---**
We were thinking
the same thing. Hmm!
**[03:02] ---**
Brother Deidara!
**[03:03] ---**
I thought you blew
yourself up in a big way.
**[03:05] ---**
Why are you still alive?
**[03:07] ---**
So you didn't die, after all?
**[03:09] ---**
Don't get excited, Akatsuchi!
**[03:12] ---**
It's Orochimaru's jutsu,
called the Reanimation Jutsu.
**[03:15] ---**
It may seem as though
he was brought back to life,
**[03:17] ---**
but he's not real.
**[03:20] ---**
Damn it. Still causing trouble,
even in death!
**[03:25] ---**
A youngster from
the Hidden Leaf beats you…
**[03:27] ---**
And then you have the gall
to sneak back in amongst the living!
**[03:31] ---**
Shut up!
I killed Sasuke Uchiha…hmm!
**[03:36] ---**
And now it's your turn, geezer,
for mocking my art! Hmm!
**[03:42] ---**
*Seems Deidara doesn't*
*know anything.*
**[03:46] ---**
Enough! I'll capture you both!
**[03:50] ---**
Do you intend to get in our way?
**[03:54] ---**
I knew we would be ambushed.
**[03:57] ---**
You didn't think we'd come
unprepared, did you?
**[04:00] ---**
What do you mean?
**[04:05] ---**
Impossible! They've found out
about this place already?
**[04:08] ---**
Th-There's no way…!
**[04:11] ---**
Motoi…
**[05:55] ---**
*THE ARTIST RETURNS*
**[06:04] ---**
*Seems we found them.*
**[06:06] ---**
Sorry, but we have to go there.
**[06:08] ---**
Why?
**[06:11] ---**
What? My body won't
respond to me!
**[06:15] ---**
No way!
Don't tell me he found them!
**[06:18] ---**
We're going after him, you two!
**[06:20] ---**
– Right!
– Gotcha!
**[06:31] ---**
What's going on?
**[06:36] ---**
*I used various drugs to activate*
*the original Manda's cells*
**[06:41] ---**
*to create a Second Manda…*
**[06:43] ---**
*He surpasses the First Manda*
*in size, power, and intellect!*
**[06:48] ---**
*The fact that the island is*
*an animal and is mobile*
**[06:50] ---**
*turns out to be its fatal flaw.*
**[06:55] ---**
What is that?
**[06:57] ---**
An island?
**[06:58] ---**
What's that island supposed to be?
**[07:01] ---**
It's not an island.
**[07:02] ---**
It's a giant turtle and it's moving.
**[07:05] ---**
And that is where we'll find
the Eight and Nine Tails.
**[07:08] ---**
A turtle? The Eight and Nine Tails?
**[07:13] ---**
This is our chance to capture
the Eight and Nine Tails!
**[07:17] ---**
I get it! So that damn Naruto
is there! Hmm!
**[07:22] ---**
What's the plan?
**[07:26] ---**
In any case,
we have to stop that turtle island.
**[07:30] ---**
Deidara, give me a big one.
**[07:35] ---**
Damn!
**[07:36] ---**
They're fast!
**[07:55] ---**
Let's go!
**[07:56] ---**
Right.
**[07:59] ---**
Katsu!
**[08:09] ---**
Wood Style:
Deep Forest Emergence!
**[08:17] ---**
It flipped over.
**[08:18] ---**
It can't move now.
**[08:22] ---**
Oww…
**[08:25] ---**
What happened?
**[08:27] ---**
Heaven and Earth really
did trade places, yo.
**[08:30] ---**
Fools, ya fool!
**[08:35] ---**
I knew it!
**[08:40] ---**
Even if Heaven and Earth flip over…
**[08:42] ---**
A male is still a male and…
**[08:45] ---**
This is no time to be doing
an ecological survey!
**[08:48] ---**
Calm down, Yamato.
**[08:50] ---**
Remember, this is an S-rank mission.
**[08:54] ---**
Something must have
happened outside.
**[08:57] ---**
But we have to keep fooling him.
**[09:01] ---**
We cannot allow those two
to leave this place.
**[09:04] ---**
We have to deal with it ourselves.
**[09:18] ---**
Kabuto, you search for
the Eight and Nine Tails. Hmm…
**[09:23] ---**
I'll handle those guys.
I owe them nothing less.
**[09:27] ---**
Fine, let's do that.
**[09:35] ---**
Deidara!
**[09:37] ---**
You shall feel my wrath.
**[09:39] ---**
Damn it, the geezer's snapped.
**[09:42] ---**
You haven't forgotten, have you?
**[09:50] ---**
*This is getting bad!*
**[09:53] ---**
*Don't tell me he's going right*
*to his Particle Style?! Hmm!*
**[09:56] ---**
*Things are starting to get out of hand.*
**[10:00] ---**
*I won't let you get away!*
**[10:03] ---**
What are you doing, Akatsuchi?!
**[10:05] ---**
If you do that, you'll end up
killing turtle island!
**[10:10] ---**
Damn!
**[10:12] ---**
This is complicated!
**[10:13] ---**
It's so large that it just looks
like a landscape!
**[10:17] ---**
There's my chance! Hmm!
**[10:24] ---**
Katsu!
**[10:33] ---**
Old man!
**[10:55] ---**
Akatsuchi's Golem!
**[10:57] ---**
Still attached to the Tsuchikage I see…
**[11:00] ---**
What a nuisance! Hmm!
**[11:07] ---**
*I should get him away*
*from this island.*
**[11:17] ---**
That damn snake!
**[11:26] ---**
So that guy over there is
the one controlling the snake!
**[11:29] ---**
The nerve of that wimp.
**[11:31] ---**
He was just pretending to
be Orochimaru's henchman!
**[11:43] ---**
I see…
So Naruto is inside this turtle.
**[11:48] ---**
Now then, how do I get in?
**[12:01] ---**
Damn it! What's going on outside?!
**[12:08] ---**
Th-There've been
a lot of tremors today…
**[12:13] ---**
Y-You're right.
**[12:16] ---**
Still, this is too weird.
**[12:18] ---**
Can the world turn upside down?
**[12:21] ---**
Well, it seems to be possible
on this island.
**[12:24] ---**
Although it's an extremely rare event.
**[12:28] ---**
Oh really?
**[12:31] ---**
I think I'm going to take
a look outside!
**[12:34] ---**
No! You're on
an important S-rank mission,
**[12:39] ---**
so stay focused!
**[12:42] ---**
Yeah, well…
**[12:43] ---**
I'm just going to take
a quick look outside.
**[12:46] ---**
It is a ninja's duty to see through
his mission until completion!
**[12:50] ---**
And this is a mission
only you can accomplish!
**[12:56] ---**
That's why you were selected.
**[12:57] ---**
Do you understand, Naruto?
**[13:00] ---**
We will see what's going on outside.
**[13:03] ---**
That's about the only way
we can contribute here.
**[13:06] ---**
However, let me repeat.
**[13:08] ---**
You are on a crucial S-rank mission!
**[13:12] ---**
*Even Naruto is beginning*
*to sense something.*
**[13:16] ---**
*We bluffed him into thinking*
*this is an S-rank mission.*
**[13:19] ---**
*But basically,*
*he's just checking to see*
**[13:22] ---**
*if an animal has balls or not.*
**[13:25] ---**
*Naruto's not an idiot.*
**[13:27] ---**
*He might have already*
*figured it out.*
**[13:28] ---**
Okay, I understand!
**[13:30] ---**
I'm going to focus on my mission!
**[13:33] ---**
*All right!*
*This is going work out!*
**[13:36] ---**
*Thank goodness he's so dense!*
**[13:44] ---**
*You're too slow!*
**[13:45] ---**
*Corrosion Style: Quicklime Jutsu!*
**[13:59] ---**
There they are.
**[14:02] ---**
Is that him?!
**[14:03] ---**
There should be five humans!
**[14:06] ---**
*So Aoba is here too.*
**[14:08] ---**
Don't come crawling out!
**[14:11] ---**
Didn't we say that
we'd take care of this?
**[14:13] ---**
*Having said that…*
**[14:21] ---**
You're the Tsuchikage's
granddaughter…
**[14:24] ---**
Perfect timing.
You can take me to Naruto.
**[14:34] ---**
A snake…
**[14:35] ---**
And that voice.
Don't tell me you're…
**[14:43] ---**
We meet again, Yamato.
**[14:47] ---**
I'll sweep him your way!
**[14:48] ---**
So get him!
**[14:51] ---**
Water Style: Water Trumpet!
**[14:54] ---**
Nice!
**[14:59] ---**
No good! He had it figured out!
**[15:02] ---**
*I told you guys to get him, but…*
**[15:05] ---**
*I got him!*
**[15:07] ---**
This is…
**[15:10] ---**
I see…
**[15:12] ---**
Idiot! Now you can't move!
**[15:17] ---**
*My Quicklime Jutsu is like*
*fast-acting cement.*
**[15:21] ---**
*I spread it around*
*an area with water…*
**[15:24] ---**
*making it cause a reaction*
*that makes it harden like cement.*
**[15:31] ---**
Motoi, Aoba!
**[15:33] ---**
Don't step into that water.
**[15:42] ---**
That's for extra insurance!
**[15:46] ---**
All right! You're ours!
**[15:49] ---**
I'll extract intel out of you!
**[15:54] ---**
*The geezer is faster than*
*he was in his prime!*
**[15:58] ---**
You've always snuck around
and fought from a distance.
**[16:02] ---**
I never liked that about you!
**[16:05] ---**
Shut up!
**[16:06] ---**
*I'll finish him off with my C4…*
*Hmm!*
**[16:12] ---**
They're too fast! I can't keep up!
**[16:19] ---**
Kabuto, how you've fallen.
**[16:22] ---**
You've become just like Orochimaru.
**[16:25] ---**
Never mind me.
Just make sure you don't fall off!
**[16:29] ---**
Aoba, concentrate!
**[16:31] ---**
Yeah, I know. I'm okay.
**[16:35] ---**
You know that I'm in
the Intel Division, don't you?
**[16:39] ---**
I'm going to take a look and see
everything that's happened to you.
**[16:52] ---**
He's molted?!
**[16:53] ---**
He's gone that far?
**[16:57] ---**
Motoi, get away!
**[17:02] ---**
Yamato!
**[17:04] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:06] ---**
Lucky for me, Kurotsuchi, I knew
the hand signs for your jutsu.
**[17:11] ---**
I was able to
put you all off guard.
**[17:14] ---**
Are you saying that
you waited for this moment?
**[17:22] ---**
Damn!
**[17:23] ---**
*Corrosion Style: Quicklime Jutsu!*
**[17:31] ---**
Wait!
**[17:40] ---**
Damn! He hid inside the nose!
**[17:54] ---**
*This should be high enough.*
**[18:00] ---**
Don't underestimate me,
old geezer!
**[18:08] ---**
Prepare to die, Deidara!
**[18:10] ---**
Let's see which one is real art,
**[18:12] ---**
your Particle Style or
my Explosion Style!
**[18:17] ---**
This is—?!
**[18:18] ---**
What?!
**[18:19] ---**
Right when we were getting
to the good part! Hmm!
**[18:22] ---**
Damn!
**[18:26] ---**
I can't move!
**[18:27] ---**
Hold on!
**[18:29] ---**
When the kid from Hidden Rock returns,
she'll free you!
**[18:33] ---**
You're…Lord Tsuchikage!
**[18:35] ---**
Deidara got away.
What about you guys?
**[18:39] ---**
Someone from
the Hidden Rock went after him.
**[18:45] ---**
Please help me!
I'll go after them!
**[18:49] ---**
Which way did Kabuto go?
**[18:51] ---**
I can't sense the enemy anymore.
**[18:54] ---**
I can't tell which direction…
It's useless.
**[18:58] ---**
Damn it. Yamato's been…
**[19:00] ---**
What happened?
**[19:03] ---**
The Wood Style user,
the Nine Tails' guardian,
**[19:06] ---**
Yamato has been taken.
**[19:09] ---**
He didn't bother going after
the Eight or Nine Tails.
**[19:13] ---**
We don't know if he wanted
a hostage to interrogate…
**[19:16] ---**
or if the Wood User himself
was the target.
**[19:21] ---**
But the problem is the intel that
can be gleaned from Yamato!
**[19:26] ---**
Yamato would never break down
to reveal intel that easily!
**[19:29] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[19:37] ---**
If our foe is Madara, he will
have formidable visual prowess.
**[19:41] ---**
Once someone is caught
under his visual prowess,
**[19:44] ---**
there's no breaking away.
**[19:53] ---**
This present you brought is very
different from what I expected.
**[19:57] ---**
You're right.
**[19:59] ---**
But he is
the Nine Tails' guardian
**[20:02] ---**
and he also possesses
highly classified intel.
**[20:04] ---**
Furthermore, I can use him
**[20:06] ---**
to make Zetsu and
the others much stronger.
**[20:11] ---**
Instead of pushing my luck,
**[20:13] ---**
I decided to settle by
just capturing him.
**[20:17] ---**
This works out better for you guys.
**[20:19] ---**
Then hurry up and do it.
**[20:22] ---**
This left eye of mine
is itching to battle.
**[22:07] ---**
Convene the commando unit
immediately!
**[22:10] ---**
Have the main regiment
run through their formations!
**[22:12] ---**
Make sure the medical units
are well supplied
**[22:14] ---**
with medical ninja tools!
**[22:16] ---**
Contact Ao and the Sensory unit.
Have them hurry!
**[22:19] ---**
Tsuchikage, these were finished
while you were away.
**[22:22] ---**
Take it.
**[22:24] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Assemble! Allied Shinobi Forces!"
**[22:29] ---**
ASSEMBLE! ALLIED SHINOBI FORCES!
Headbands for the Allied Shinobi
Forces eh? Nice work!
**[22:35] ---**
ROCK LEE'S SILLY CHRONICLES
PART 4
**[22:38] ---**
To shine bright is youth, Lee!
**[22:40] ---**
I understand, Guy Sensei!
**[22:43] ---**
*But how can I shine even brighter?*
**[22:45] ---**
*Oh, I know!*
**[22:47] ---**
Guy Sensei,
I'm even more shiny today!
**[22:50] ---**
Yes, your hair is so shiny!
**[22:52] ---**
But this is just superficial brightness!
**[22:55] ---**
This is true brightness!
**[22:56] ---**
Whoa! That's just too dazzling!
**[22:57] ---**
I can make eggs
sunny-side up too!
**[23:00] ---**
It's so good!
**[23:01] ---**
You guys want some?
**[23:02] ---**
– No thanks!
– No thanks!
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again
