[00:03] ---
    In order to protect the Yamanaka
    and Nara Clan,
[00:06] ---
    and the Hidden Leaf Village,
    I, Choji Akimichi,
[00:09] ---
    swear to transform from a caterpillar
    into a butterfly…
[00:13] ---
    and take flight!
[00:22] ---
    I have nothing more to
    *say to you three…

[00:27] ---
    Because your Ino-Shika-Cho
    is complete.
[00:34] ---**
    
– Thank you…

    *– Thank you…
[00:44] ---
    *I'm putting an end to the battle now!

[00:48] ---
    *So help me out, Shikamaru! Ino!
[00:53] ---
    Choji, I've been with you
    *for a long time…

[00:56] ---
    But I've never seen you
    *take charge like this!
[02:31] ---
    A Message from the Heart
    
    
[02:41] ---
    You haven't been getting it
    for a while.
[02:43] ---
    Half-hearted attention,
    not enough preparation.
[02:50] ---
    Something's been bothering me
    for a while now.
[02:54] ---
    What is it?
[02:57] ---
    Earlier…
[02:58] ---
    I thought I sensed
    the Nine Tails' chakra.
[03:01] ---
    But there's no way
    someone besides me
[03:04] ---
    has the Nine Tails' chakra, right?
[03:07] ---
    You probably just imagined it.
[03:09] ---
    Chakra here is cut off,
    both inside and out.
[03:12] ---
    Nine Tails is only inside you.
    It's a bad joke, no doubt.
[03:17] ---
    Naruto's beginning to
    sense things.
[03:20] ---
    The only ones with
    Nine Tails' chakra besides Naruto,
[03:22] ---
    are the Gold and Silver Brothers.
[03:24] ---
    Which means, they've been resurrected
    with Orochimaru's jutsu.
[03:30] ---
    However, he has the power
[03:32] ---
    to perceive the chakra
    more intensely in this room.
[03:35] ---
    We won't be able to fool him
    much longer.
[03:37] ---
    What'll we do, Bee?
[03:38] ---
    Do what?
[03:39] ---
    What do you mean, "do what"?
[03:41] ---
    Weren't you paying
    attention to the plan?
[03:43] ---
    We're not supposed to
    let Naruto out of this space!
[03:45] ---
    That's what you're here for, Eight!
[03:48] ---
    What a…! Damn it.
[03:54] ---
    Where's the bathroom?
[03:56] ---
    Go outside.
    It's the door to your left.
[03:59] ---
    You idiot!
    Naruto's gonna escape!
[04:01] ---
    Follow him!
[04:03] ---
    Oh!
[04:07] ---
    Don't panic. Contact HQ.
[04:09] ---
    What?
[04:10] ---
    Nine Tails is attempting to go out?
[04:13] ---
    What is Bee doing?!
[04:15] ---
    Actually, Master Bee wasn't
    paying much attention
[04:17] ---
    to the instructions…
[04:20] ---
    However, we've taken measures.
[04:21] ---
    Lady Tsunade, please issue the order.
[04:24] ---
    Mmhmm.
[04:26] ---
    Stop…Naruto.
[04:32] ---
    Why are there are so many guards?!
[04:34] ---
    Something's not right.
[04:37] ---
    Naruto, I'm sorry,
    but I cannot let you pass.
[04:41] ---
    Please go back to that room.
[04:44] ---
    Okay, but why is Shino's pop here?
[04:47] ---
    Why are you watching me?!
[04:49] ---
    Enough! Just go back inside,
    I'll tell you there.
[04:53] ---
    Why can't you tell me outside?
[04:59] ---
    Shibi, I'll talk to him.
[05:06] ---
    I-Iruka Sensei!
[05:09] ---
    What're you doing on this island?!
[05:16] ---
    We now have a secondary mission
    on this island.
[05:19] ---
    And we're here to back you up.
[05:22] ---
    We heard this place is dangerous.
[05:24] ---
    So why can't I go outside?
[05:27] ---
    There's an unidentified creature
[05:30] ---
    that we're trying to confirm.
[05:33] ---
    That's because…
[05:34] ---
    I sensed the Nine Tails' chakra.
[05:37] ---
    Is that related somehow?
[05:40] ---
    He was able to perceive Kinkaku and
    Ginkaku's chakra even in here?
[05:43] ---
    A place where all chakra
    is blocked out?
[05:45] ---
    Letting him out would
    be dangerous.
[05:47] ---
    We must stop him.
[05:51] ---
    Do your best to convince him, Iruka.
[05:54] ---
    O-Oh, yeah.
[05:57] ---
    The creature seems to possess
    the Nine Tails' chakra.
[06:00] ---
    I guess there were others
    like the Nine Tails here.
[06:04] ---
    We can't afford to let you out
[06:06] ---
    and rile up the Nine Tails
    inside you.
[06:10] ---
    That's why we want you
    to stay inside and lay low.
[06:14] ---
    Is that why Captain Yamato
    hasn't come back?
[06:18] ---
    Yes. The Wood Style works best
    to suppress the Nine Tails' chakra.
[06:23] ---
    You know that.
[06:24] ---
    Come on, let's go back inside.
[06:30] ---
    Master Bee stands at the top
    of this island's hierarchy of beasts.
[06:36] ---
    That feeling I had when
    I exchanged punches
[06:39] ---
    with old man Bee…
[06:41] ---
    That was for real.
[06:46] ---
    If those animals are running amuck,
    I'll suppress them.
[06:49] ---
    Let me check them out!
[07:01] ---
    Do not let Naruto escape!
[07:02] ---
    Right!
[07:29] ---
    All right! I have him restrained
    with Shadow Possession!
[07:55] ---
    W-What's going on?
[07:59] ---
    He sensed it all with Sage Mode.
[08:02] ---
    Why is this happening?!
[08:04] ---
    It's war…
[08:07] ---
    Madara is waging war on us.
[08:10] ---
    Hey, Iruka! You…
[08:12] ---
    Shibi, let's stop lying.
[08:16] ---
    Naruto isn't stupid.
[08:18] ---
    We should tell him the truth
[08:19] ---
    and try to make him see
    where we're coming from.
[08:21] ---
    My comrades are fighting,
    and going through hell…
[08:25] ---
    Why are you keeping
    all this from me?
[08:27] ---
    This is a war to protect you.
[08:34] ---
    Madara launched
    a full-scale assault.
[08:37] ---
    In order to capture Nine Tails
    and Eight Tails
[08:41] ---
    inside you and Lord Killer Bee.
[08:44] ---
    If he succeeds in getting
    both Tailed Beasts,
[08:46] ---
    his jutsu will be complete,
    and this world will end!
[08:50] ---
    Protecting you means
    protecting the future,
[08:54] ---
    and protecting everyone.
[08:56] ---
    Everyone is putting
    their lives on the line.
[08:58] ---
    They are fighting to protect you.
[09:00] ---
    Naruto, your battle is with yourself.
[09:04] ---
    This is where you must endure it.
[09:09] ---
    There's no such thing
    as true peace!
[09:12] ---
    As long as we live
    in this cursed world,
[09:14] ---
    peace is impossible!
[09:20] ---
    Then…I'll break that curse.
[09:25] ---
    If there is such a thing
    as peace, I'll seize it!
[09:30] ---
    I'll never give up!
[09:33] ---
    No matter how great the pain,
    I'll continue walking.
[09:38] ---
    Because that's who Naruto is!
[09:41] ---
    War inflicts death, injury,
    and pain to both sides.
[09:49] ---
    You may try to find
    meaning in death,
[09:53] ---
    but there is only pain.
[09:55] ---
    An unbearable hatred…
[10:00] ---
    Senseless deaths…
[10:02] ---
    Eternal hatred…
    and pain that does not heal.
[10:07] ---
    That's what war is.
[10:10] ---
    Naruto… This is what you will
    be facing in time.
[10:18] ---
    My work ends here, Naruto.
[10:21] ---
    I believe you can bring true peace.
[10:27] ---
    Nagato… What you said to me…
[10:30] ---
    Is this what you meant?
[10:35] ---
    Now, let's go back in.
[10:40] ---
    I'll stop this war by myself.
[10:45] ---
    I'll take on all
    the hatred and the pain.
[10:50] ---
    This is my duty!
[10:53] ---
    Haven't you been listening?!
[10:55] ---
    You have the Nine Tails inside you!
[10:58] ---
    This isn't only about you, Naruto!
[11:01] ---
    You were the very first teacher
    who recognized me,
[11:05] ---
    yet you're only concerned
    about the Nine Tails!
[11:07] ---
    Why can't you have faith in me?!
[11:09] ---
    Don't act like a spoiled brat?!
[11:11] ---
    To me, you are…
[11:15] ---
    Taking on a parental tone
    like that won't work.
[11:19] ---
    There's no way that monster fox
    won't take advantage of his power.
[11:23] ---
    You just don't know how he…
[11:26] ---
    That's true…
    if he's the monster fox.
[11:33] ---
    But Naruto is different.
[11:36] ---
    He's…
[11:37] ---
    He's someone I've recognized.
[11:41] ---
    He's an excellent pupil.
[11:44] ---
    He always gives
    a hundred percent and yet,
[11:47] ---
    because he's clumsy,
    people don't acknowledge him.
[11:54] ---
    He already understands
    what human suffering is.
[11:58] ---
    He's not a monster fox anymore.
[12:02] ---
    He's the Village of
    the Hidden Leaf's…
[12:08] ---
    Naruto Uzumaki!
[12:15] ---
    To me, you are…
[12:17] ---
    An important student.
[12:20] ---
    And…
[12:22] ---
    I think of you as my little brother.
[12:28] ---
    The enemy leader is targeting you
    with everything he's got.
[12:32] ---
    How can we allow you to
    face such danger?
[12:37] ---
    And besides, there is no reason
    for you to shoulder that burden alone.
[12:40] ---
    I'm different from before.
[12:43] ---
    I've become stronger!
[12:45] ---
    And Sensei, you're the one
    who gave me that headband.
[13:02] ---
    Hey…Iruka…
[13:49] ---
    No!
[13:53] ---
    I still can't let you go!
[14:02] ---
    Sensei, didn't I tell you
    I'm stronger now?
[14:06] ---
    A barrier like this is…
[14:11] ---
    He broke through!
[14:12] ---
    I won't let him!
[14:22] ---
    The Nine Tails' chakra is too strong.
[14:24] ---
    The Parasitic Insects are useless!
[14:28] ---
    Temui!
[14:29] ---
    Notify the Barrier Corps up ahead,
    that Naruto is heading their way.
[14:32] ---
    Right!
[14:33] ---
    The rest of us will pursue Naruto!
[14:34] ---
    Let's go!
[14:38] ---
    Why, Iruka Sensei?
[14:57] ---
    What's this?
[15:01] ---
    Knowing you, you will rush
    to the battlefield.
[15:06] ---
    That's how determined you are.
[15:08] ---
    If you are reading this letter…
[15:11] ---
    it means I wasn't able to
    stop you.
[15:15] ---
    Ever since Lady Tsunade
    ordered me
[15:18] ---
    to detain you on
    the Cloud's secret hidden island,
[15:23] ---
    I've had this letter ready,
    just for this purpose.
[15:27] ---
    I'm disappointed in myself
    for failing my mission.
[15:30] ---
    I don't know if I'll even
    be able to get you this note,
[15:34] ---
    but there's something
    you need to hear from me.
[15:39] ---
    You've gone off,
    so this is the only thing left to say.
[15:46] ---
    Come back alive,
    no matter what.
[15:55] ---
    I'm sorry, Naruto. I'm weak.
[16:00] ---
    I act like your older brother,
[16:02] ---
    but I've never been able
    to protect you…
[16:07] ---
    So he's gone…fool, that fool.
[16:14] ---
    Killer…Bee, right?
[16:18] ---
    I need to ask you a favor.
[16:21] ---
    I'm not sure,
    but I've seen you someplace
[16:23] ---
    Every time,
    I can't remember the face.
[16:27] ---
    Please protect Naruto!
[16:34] ---
    That's not the way to appeal, you see.
[16:36] ---
    You have to raise your fist at me.
[16:40] ---
    L-Like this?
[16:47] ---
    Gotcha! Fool, ya fool!
[16:54] ---
    It's you…
[16:58] ---
    Should you be making
    a promise like that?!
[17:01] ---
    You're Naruto's guard!
[17:05] ---
    If he couldn't stop Naruto,
    no one can.
[17:10] ---
    That's because…
[17:12] ---
    You're always in Naruto's heart.
[17:16] ---
    You are his state of mind.
[17:19] ---
    Me? In Naruto…?
[17:23] ---
    I don't know what you did to Naruto…
[17:26] ---
    But to him,
    you are something special
[17:29] ---
    Even tho' my rap is scornful.
[17:32] ---
    Naruto listens to all you say.
[17:35] ---
    Naruto's kept it securely inside him,
    to this day.
[17:39] ---
    What has protected Naruto
    all this time…were your words to him.
[17:54] ---
    You really intend to leave
    this place to go after Naruto?
[17:58] ---
    We're still in training, you fool, ya fool!
[18:01] ---
    You're gonna get
    Raikage's Iron Claw afterwards,
[18:04] ---
    that's for sure!
[18:05] ---
    You learn faster in
    actual battle, you fool!
[18:09] ---
    We're taking the shortcut, ya fool!
[18:12] ---
    What is the meaning of this, Tsunade?!
[18:14] ---
    The Nine Tails couldn't be stopped!
[18:17] ---
    That Iruka…
[18:20] ---
    We'll just have to use force.
[18:22] ---
    What's the status of
    the Barrier Corps?
[18:24] ---
    They've put up a 36-layer
    Self-Regenerating Barrier
[18:27] ---
    around the perimeter.
[18:29] ---
    Even a Jinchuriki will not be able
    to pierce through it.
[18:31] ---
    Please rest assured.
[18:35] ---
    It's Naruto! He's approaching!
[18:38] ---
    It's time for us to show what we,
    the Barrier Corps, can do!
[18:41] ---
    This is the reason why
    we went through all that hardship,
[18:45] ---
    to put up this multi-layered barrier!
[18:48] ---
    Do not let him pass!
[18:50] ---
    The only message HQ
    will receive from us is…
[18:53] ---
    "Mission accomplished!"
[18:55] ---
    Do you understand?!
[18:59] ---
    Wha—?!
[19:06] ---
    What's this?!
[19:07] ---
    There's a barrier beyond that.
[19:09] ---
    You and me are gonna break it, stat!
[19:12] ---
    Octopops!
[19:20] ---
    I'll break the barrier, fool!
[19:22] ---
    Naruto, you get the Tailed
    Beast Bomb in, ya fool!
[19:26] ---
    Right!
[19:31] ---
    Not Bee the Eight Tails too?!
[19:33] ---
    What?!
[19:34] ---
    Here we go, ya fool!
[19:46] ---
    It's no use!
[19:47] ---
    The barrier isn't regenerating
    fast enough!
[19:51] ---
    At this rate…
[19:53] ---
    Chief…
[19:54] ---
    What do I tell HQ…?!
[20:00] ---
    We couldn't stop him!
[20:02] ---
    Yeah, I figured.
[20:43] ---
    – D-Damn it!
    – It's no use…
[20:51] ---
    But there were two
    of them breaking it.
[20:55] ---
    No one mentioned
    there were two of them!
[22:37] ---
    Incredible chakra!
    
    
[22:39] ---
    An immense chakra field has
    appeared on the battlefield
    
    
[22:41] ---
    near Darui's First Company!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    What is it?
    
    
[22:44] ---
    It appears to be some sort
    of humanoid monster!
    
    
[22:47] ---
    It's ravaging our troops!
    
    
[22:49] ---
    And it seems to be controlled by…
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Who is it?!
    
    
[22:53] ---
    We believe it's Madara Uchiha!
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Attack of the Gedo Statue"
    
    
[22:59] ---
    Go! Gedo statue!
    
    ATTACK OF THE GEDO STATUE
