[00:08] ---
    Here they come…
[00:11] ---
    Mu is not moving.
[00:15] ---
    There's no sign of him
    or his chakra.
[00:17] ---
    Seems the Second Tsuchikage
    has been detected.
[00:18] ---
    Even though he was known
    as the "Null Man."
[00:22] ---
    It will soon be ripe for war.
[00:25] ---
    The real fight is just beginning.
[00:29] ---
    With that class of shinobi,
    I anticipate bigger results
[00:32] ---
    by not killing off their
    thoughts and emotions.
[00:40] ---
    I'll let him do as he pleases
    after the Summoning Jutsu.
[02:15] ---
    The Brilliant Military Advisor
    of the Hidden Leaf
    
    
[02:37] ---
    The Second Tsuchikage…
[02:40] ---
    The Third Raikage…
[02:42] ---
    The Second Mizukage…
[02:44] ---
    The Fourth Kazekage…
[02:48] ---
    Too bad we don't have
    a Hokage.
[02:50] ---
    Still, four Kage from history
    are here.
[02:56] ---
    I'll just let the Kage and
    their progeny kill each other off.
[03:03] ---
    Where am I?
[03:08] ---
    My, my… What a gathering
    of former enemies!
[03:13] ---
    Well, well. I don't know this guy.
[03:18] ---
    This is a foul jutsu of
    the Second Hokage.
[03:21] ---
    The dead are summoned back from
    the afterlife and then bound.
[03:23] ---
    You were summoned here by force.
[03:27] ---
    The dead?! What do you mean?
[03:30] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[03:32] ---
    I killed you myself.
[03:34] ---
    You died ages ago,
    Second Mizukage.
[03:39] ---
    Oh…back then… Hey wait!
[03:43] ---
    You also died that day!
    In fact, I killed you.
[03:49] ---
    Was that so?
[03:51] ---
    Well, no matter.
[03:53] ---
    Let me continue…
    Where was I?
[03:56] ---
    Where is the Second Hokage?
[03:59] ---
    He's the jutsu user
    who resurrected us?
[04:02] ---
    I detect someone
    several kilometers ahead.
[04:07] ---
    One with the same chakra
    as this new face…
[04:10] ---
    along with a huge army.
[04:13] ---
    No doubt you are…
[04:15] ---
    I am the Fourth Kazekage.
[04:18] ---
    My predecessors have told me
    about your exploits.
[04:22] ---
    So this means the Sand
    has continued
[04:25] ---
    through to the fourth,
    no, the fifth generation.
[04:28] ---
    It feels strange
    being in the future.
[04:32] ---
    Listen, this is not the future.
[04:35] ---
    We're just beings from the past.
[04:37] ---
    And don't interrupt me,
    or I'll kill you.
[04:40] ---
    But I was killed.
    And I killed you!
[04:45] ---
    I was just telling you the story
[04:47] ---
    of the Second Hokage
    who resurrected us…
[04:53] ---
    The Second Hokage was
    long dead by my time.
[04:57] ---
    But there was a shinobi capable
    of using the Reanimation Jutsu.
[05:03] ---
    A shinobi named Orochimaru.
[05:10] ---
    Four…and among them…
[05:15] ---
    is Father.
[05:24] ---
    That's all.
[05:30] ---
    It's a message from Headquarters.
[05:32] ---
    Our Commando Unit has skirmished
    with the enemy's Commando Unit.
[05:36] ---
    Our predictions about
    the enemy were correct.
[05:38] ---
    But they are raising the dead
    with a jutsu
[05:40] ---
    known as the Reanimation Jutsu and
    sending them onto the battlefield.
[05:43] ---
    Who knows what kind of shinobi
    we'll see on the battlefield.
[05:47] ---
    So everyone, be prepared.
[05:53] ---
    That's the signal.
[05:56] ---
    The enemy is near.
[05:58] ---
    But there's no word
    from Headquarters
[05:59] ---
    that they detected the enemy.
[06:01] ---
    What's going on?
[06:03] ---
    It probably means there are guys
[06:04] ---
    that even Headquarters
    cannot sense.
[06:07] ---
    After all, the enemy will only
    revive the strong ones.
[06:12] ---
    We have to fight dead people?
[06:15] ---
    What do I do?
    I'm getting scared.
[06:19] ---
    Hey Choji, now that you're here
    it's too late to whine.
[06:24] ---
    U-Uh-huh…
[06:30] ---
    We just received word from
    Captain Gaara's Fourth Company.
[06:33] ---
    Four of the enemies have
    been spotted.
[06:35] ---
    They are the Second Mizukage,
    the Second Tsuchikage,
[06:37] ---
    the Fourth Kazekage and…
[06:42] ---
    And who's the other?!
[06:46] ---
    The Third Raikage.
[06:49] ---
    What?!
[06:50] ---
    My old man too?!
[06:52] ---
    Damn the Akatsuki!
[06:56] ---
    The numbers don't match up with
    our own sensory readings.
[06:59] ---
    Are you sure this data is accurate?
[07:02] ---
    Princess Tsunade…
[07:05] ---
    It's the Second Tsuchikage
    that has appeared.
[07:07] ---
    Huh?!
[07:09] ---
    It's no wonder we
    could sense three,
[07:14] ---
    but couldn't detect one.
[07:19] ---
    The reason sensory detection
    was futile is the doing of Lord Mu.
[07:28] ---
    There's someone who
    can evade detection
[07:30] ---
    from even the Headquarters'
    Sensory Radar Jutsu?!
[07:33] ---
    What is he?
[07:35] ---
    Captain Ao!
[07:36] ---
    There are far too many
    of those white monsters.
[07:39] ---
    It's impossible for me to detect
[07:40] ---
    the ones with
    special characteristics.
[07:44] ---
    Darui's First Company
    will soon encounter
[07:46] ---
    several thousand enemy troops!
[07:48] ---
    Please distinguish the white ones
[07:50] ---
    from those under
    the Reanimation Jutsu!
[07:53] ---
    All right!
[07:54] ---
    You take charge of
    the broad-range scan!
[08:04] ---
    Huh?!
[08:05] ---
    This is not good!
[08:07] ---
    Darui's First Company will
    be facing too many
[08:09] ---
    who are under
    the Reanimation Jutsu!
[08:11] ---
    Furthermore,
    they're all powerful shinobi!
[08:37] ---
    They're coming.
[08:38] ---
    Give the signal to get
    into position for battle.
[08:41] ---
    Right.
[08:42] ---
    Right.
[08:43] ---
    There are so many…
[08:46] ---
    It's not just their numbers.
[08:48] ---
    Headquarters was right.
[08:50] ---
    I can distinguish the adept ones
    with my Byakugan.
[08:58] ---
    Lord Hiashi!
    Look towards 10 o'clock.
[09:03] ---
    Th-That's…
[09:22] ---
    N-No way. That can't be…
[09:25] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:27] ---
    What about them?
[09:29] ---
    That's…
[09:31] ---
    They're…Lords Kinkaku and Ginkaku…
[09:39] ---
    What?! These two are bathed
    in the Nine Tails' chakra!
[09:43] ---
    Incredible chakra!
[09:46] ---
    There's no doubt!
[09:48] ---
    They are the Gold and Silver
    Brothers of the Hidden Cloud.
[09:51] ---
    What?
[09:56] ---
    Even Dan is among them?
[10:01] ---
    The Fourth Company is
    facing my old man.
[10:03] ---
    And the First Company is looking
    at Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
[10:07] ---
    Now that it's come to this,
[10:08] ---
    I have no choice
    but to go out there myself.
[10:10] ---
    Please wait…
[10:14] ---
    Lord Raikage…
[10:15] ---
    You are the Supreme Commander
    of the Allied Shinobi Forces!
[10:18] ---
    The Supreme Commander must
    remain safe in order to give orders
[10:21] ---
    to the troops until
    the final stages of the war.
[10:24] ---
    That is your duty towards
    your charges.
[10:29] ---
    But an enemy force
    of enormous strength
[10:32] ---
    is converging
    on Darui's First Company!
[10:35] ---
    The tide of battle is
    like a living thing.
[10:38] ---
    It changes second by second.
[10:40] ---
    To discern those changes
    is why I am here!
[10:44] ---
    Bring me the map!
[10:46] ---
    First, let us verify
    every company's status.
[10:51] ---
    At the forefront is
    Kankuro's Commando Unit.
[10:53] ---
    KANKURO COMMANDO UNIT
    
    At the forefront is
    Kankuro's Commando Unit.
[10:55] ---
    REANIMATED SASORI DEIDARA UNIT
    
    
    
    
    
    KANKURO COMMANDO UNIT
    
    At the forefront is
    Kankuro's Commando Unit.
[10:59] ---
    REANIMATED SASORI DEIDARA UNIT
    
    
    
    
    
    KANKURO COMMANDO UNIT
    
    It seems they have
    skirmished with
[11:01] ---
    REANIMATED SASORI DEIDARA UNIT
    
    
    
    
    
    KANKURO COMMANDO UNIT
    
    a Commando Unit of
    reanimated shinobi.
[11:04] ---
    However, they defeated the enemy!
[11:06] ---
    Presently, they are moving forward
    towards the Akatsuki hideout.
[11:11] ---
    Among the combat battalions,
[11:12] ---
    Kakashi's Third Company
    is leading the charge.
[11:15] ---
    KAKASHI THIRD COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    
[11:16] ---
    SEVEN NINJA SWORDSMEN
    
    
    
    KAKASHI THIRD COMPANY
    
    
    
    Kakashi's Third Company
    is leading the charge.
[11:17] ---
    SEVEN NINJA SWORDSMEN
    
    
    
    KAKASHI THIRD COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    
[11:18] ---
    SEVEN NINJA SWORDSMEN
    
    
    
    KAKASHI THIRD COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    They are in the midst of battle now,
[11:20] ---
    but they have taken
    the advantage.
[11:26] ---
    Right now, the main battle
    is being waged here
[11:29] ---
    KITSUCHI SECOND COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    by Kitsuchi's Second Company.
[11:32] ---
    KITSUCHI SECOND COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    
[11:32] ---
    WHITE ZETSU UNIT
    
    
    
    
    KITSUCHI SECOND COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    
[11:37] ---
    And Mifune's Fifth Company
    is standing by
[11:38] ---
    MIFUNE FIFTH COMPANY
    
    
    
    And Mifune's Fifth Company
    is standing by
[11:42] ---
    MIFUNE FIFTH COMPANY
    
    
    
    
    to assist in any battle.
[11:45] ---
    Now then, it begins right here.
[11:51] ---
    The enemy unit that came by sea.
[11:53] ---
    COASTLINE WHITE ZETSU UNIT
    
    
    
    
    
    Darui's First Company
    will take them on.
[11:55] ---
    COASTLINE WHITE ZETSU UNIT
    
    DARUI FIRST COMPANY
    
    
    
    Darui's First Company
    will take them on.
[12:00] ---
    Let's call this Battlefield A.
[12:03] ---
    And facing the previous Kage
    who suddenly appeared…
[12:04] ---
    REANIMATED FOUR KAGE
    
    And facing the previous Kage
    who suddenly appeared…
[12:08] ---
    GAARA FOURTH COMPANY
    
    
    REANIMATED FOUR KAGE
    
    
    
[12:09] ---
    GAARA FOURTH COMPANY
    
    
    REANIMATED FOUR KAGE
    
    
    is Gaara's Fourth Company.
[12:13] ---
    We'll call this Battlefield B.
[12:20] ---
    When you look at it like this,
[12:21] ---
    we seem to be evenly
    matched in strength.
[12:25] ---
    It's unwise to think that.
[12:30] ---
    The ironclad rule of warfare is
    to take the advantage
[12:33] ---
    by mobilizing troops!
[12:35] ---
    ENEMY ENEMY
    
[12:36] ---
    The enemy advances
    from two directions.
[12:39] ---
    You counter that by attacking from
    one direction with full force.
[12:48] ---
    We are dealing with
    two battlefields here.
[12:50] ---
    A and B…
[12:54] ---
    First, we must deal with A.
[12:58] ---
    We will concentrate our troops
    with Darui's First Company.
[13:03] ---
    So, we will deploy
    Mifune's Fifth Company
[13:05] ---
    in belt formation as support to
    reinforce the ranks from the rear.
[13:12] ---
    Then we will move Kitsuchi's
    Second Company to the side
[13:15] ---
    and box the enemy in
    from the sea.
[13:19] ---
    Kitsuchi's Second Company
    may be stretched thin.
[13:24] ---
    But, the Fifth Company's deployment
    in belt formation
[13:26] ---
    will serve as a barrier.
[13:28] ---
    Meanwhile, Gaara's Fourth Company
    will break up and
[13:32] ---
    make a slow retreat to
    the opposite side of the village
[13:35] ---
    as if to lure the enemy.
[13:38] ---
    From there, half of the company
    will join up
[13:41] ---
    with Darui's First Company
    as reinforcements.
[13:52] ---
    And after the enemy is crushed
    in Battlefield A,
[13:58] ---
    Darui's First Company and
    Gaara's squads will turn back
[14:01] ---
    towards Battlefield B…
[14:04] ---
    and the enemy that Gaara's
    Fourth Company had kept occupied
[14:07] ---
    will be crushed from the rear
    all at once.
[14:17] ---
    Why start with Battlefield A?
[14:19] ---
    If you split
    Gaara's Fourth Company into two,
[14:22] ---
    won't the enemy seize that
    opportunity to attack?
[14:29] ---
    Don't underestimate those four.
[14:32] ---
    They are former Kage!
[14:36] ---
    With Battlefield A, Companies Two
    and Five are in close proximity
[14:40] ---
    to Battlefield A and
    can move quickly.
[14:43] ---
    Also, Kitsuchi's Second Company
    has engaged the white ones before
[14:45] ---
    and is familiar with them.
[14:47] ---
    Attacking the white clones
    from the rear
[14:49] ---
    will ensure a high rate of success.
[14:52] ---
    As for the enemy in Battlefield B…
[14:56] ---
    The former Kage cannot
    launch an attack.
[15:02] ---
    If the troops suddenly
    break off into two,
[15:05] ---
    the enemy will assume we're up
    to something and will not charge.
[15:11] ---
    The war-savvy former Kage will
    not be so foolish as to attack…
[15:17] ---
    I see.
[15:21] ---
    And even if they were to attack,
[15:23] ---
    Gaara's Fourth Company is
    a long-range battle unit.
[15:26] ---
    They specialize in fighting from
    a distance, which means
[15:29] ---
    it would take longer to engage them
    in a short-distance battle.
[15:32] ---
    In other words, it is a company
    that could buy us time.
[15:38] ---
    What will you do,
    Supreme Commander?
[15:43] ---
    No wonder we could not
    take down the Leaf.
[15:48] ---
    You are blessed with
    fine shinobi, Tsunade.
[15:51] ---
    Save the compliments
    for after the war.
[15:54] ---
    So? What will you do?
[15:58] ---
    All right! Let's do it!
[16:03] ---
    Inoichi,
    you've been listening, right?
[16:05] ---
    I'm already on it. Also…
[16:08] ---
    We've already sent word to Mifune
    about the Commando Unit.
[16:11] ---
    They are on their way.
[16:13] ---
    And Shizune is allocating
    her people evenly
[16:16] ---
    to provide medical attention.
[16:22] ---
    A unit resurrected from
    the Reanimation Jutsu
[16:23] ---
    is part of the army.
[16:25] ---
    War is finally beginning.
[16:29] ---
    Shikaku is thinking about
    strategy at Headquarters.
[16:35] ---
    That guy is
    an amazingly clear thinker.
[16:39] ---
    He comes up with brilliant tactics
    that I could never dream up.
[16:44] ---
    Oh…
[16:45] ---
    And Inoichi will pass that on
    to us without fail.
[16:50] ---
    I have faith in them and
    we will battle right here.
[16:56] ---
    Yes! Have faith in our comrades.
[17:31] ---
    You're right.
[17:33] ---
    We have to hold back the enemy,
    for our comrades' sake.
[17:37] ---
    Thank you, Choza.
[17:42] ---
    All companies have been notified!
[17:53] ---
    All right, it's been a while since
    Ino-Shika-Cho went into action!
[18:01] ---
    I have one question,
    Nara from the Hidden Leaf.
[18:04] ---
    What is it?
[18:06] ---
    In order for your strategy
    to be foolproof,
[18:09] ---
    you must add in one thing.
[18:12] ---
    Which is?
[18:15] ---
    The Second Tsuchikage is
    no ordinary shinobi.
[18:19] ---
    The only one who can stop him
    is the old Fence-Sitter.
[18:22] ---
    His name has come up often
    in our discussions.
[18:26] ---
    What kind of shinobi is he?
[18:28] ---
    From the time I heard that
    his chakra could not be detected,
[18:31] ---
    I knew he would be a problem.
[18:34] ---
    He is known as
    a Kekkei Touta shinobi…
[18:36] ---
    which is a considerably higher
    level than the Kekkei Genkai.
[18:39] ---
    Kekkei Touta?!
[18:42] ---
    I thought you, Third Tsuchikage,
    were the only one…
[18:46] ---
    The Second Tsuchikage too?
[18:49] ---
    The ability to activate
    the three chakra natures
[18:52] ---
    of wind, earth and fire,
    all at once.
[18:54] ---
    He was my teacher
    who taught me the Particle Style.
[19:00] ---
    To have to battle my master
    at this age…
[19:04] ---
    It does not pay
    to live a long life.
[19:08] ---
    Will you go?
[19:10] ---
    Yes.
[19:12] ---
    What choice do I have?
[19:15] ---
    Nara…
[19:17] ---
    Yes?
[19:18] ---
    I'm not going just because Lord Mu
    of the Particle Style is there.
[19:24] ---
    Your tactical plan is brilliant.
[19:27] ---
    And while all the resurrected Kage
[19:30] ---
    who stand before
    the Fourth Company know war,
[19:33] ---
    they will not make
    unnecessary moves.
[19:36] ---
    You are probably right in
    your battle assessment.
[19:43] ---
    But the opposite is also possible.
[19:48] ---
    The one who united
    the Allied Forces is Gaara.
[19:51] ---
    His youthful passion was
    the primary catalyst.
[19:55] ---
    And you are saying
[19:56] ---
    this can have the opposite effect
    on the battlefield?
[20:01] ---
    I appreciate your insight.
[20:05] ---
    Well then, I guess it's time
    to leap into the war
[20:08] ---
    and show these young brats
    what fighting is all about.
[20:13] ---
    Especially that brazen young kid.
[20:23] ---
    A jutsu that controls
    the Second Hokage's corpse…
[20:26] ---
    The user doesn't seem to be
    the Second Hokage,
[20:29] ---
    but this Reanimation Jutsu…
[20:31] ---
    There are times when your body
    won't do what you want it to.
[20:34] ---
    Movement is restricted.
[20:37] ---
    Seems that way.
[20:40] ---
    I thought about
    killing you earlier,
[20:42] ---
    but my body wouldn't let me.
[20:45] ---
