**[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
**[23:02] ---**
ATTACK OF THE GEDO STATUE
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
