**[00:08] ---**
*Tell me. How were you able to*
*recreate Neji's chakra?!*
**[00:12] ---**
*You are able to manipulate*
*the chakra that you absorb…*
**[00:16] ---**
*You can transform your chakra*
*into your victim!*
**[00:19] ---**
*Isn't that right?!*
**[00:21] ---**
*As war rages on…*
**[00:23] ---**
*The White Zetsu infiltrate*
*the Allied Forces.*
**[00:29] ---**
*A barrier protects the camp surroundings,*
*making infiltration difficult.*
**[00:34] ---**
*But it seems there might be*
*an opening in the barrier.*
**[00:37] ---**
*Team 8 has come to*
*investigate this.*
**[00:51] ---**
I think we might have just walked
into something dangerous.
**[00:57] ---**
Well, at least it's clear now.
**[00:59] ---**
This is the spot
where the barrier is open.
**[01:01] ---**
This is where they're entering from.
**[01:03] ---**
There are quite a few of them.
**[01:05] ---**
Please be careful!
**[01:09] ---**
*Byakugan!*
**[01:13] ---**
Kiba!
**[01:14] ---**
Fang Over Fang!
**[01:21] ---**
Hidden Jutsu: Beetle Sphere!
**[01:26] ---**
Shino!
**[01:32] ---**
How many of 'em are there?!
**[01:34] ---**
Don’t let them touch you.
**[01:36] ---**
If we do,
they’ll absorb our chakra!
**[01:39] ---**
Easier said than done!
**[01:41] ---**
How are we going to take them down
without touching them?
**[01:44] ---**
I just sent out a messenger owl.
**[01:46] ---**
The Sealing Corps should arrive
shortly to seal up this mine.
**[01:50] ---**
So we just have to wait until then?
**[02:07] ---**
Damn it! Things are only getting worse!
**[02:10] ---**
Hinata! Kiba! Shino!
**[02:13] ---**
They're here!
**[02:15] ---**
Are you the Sealing Corps?
**[02:16] ---**
We'll seal this immediately!
**[02:18] ---**
Please exit this way!
**[02:25] ---**
We're not going to let you go!
**[02:28] ---**
They're persistent!
**[02:29] ---**
Fang Over Fang!
**[02:37] ---**
What?! There's oil on the ground?
**[02:45] ---**
Paper Bombs used for mining?!
**[02:47] ---**
This isn't good!
It's going to explode!
**[02:49] ---**
Akamaru, time for Dynamic Marking!
**[04:31] ---**
*White Zetsu's Trap*
**[04:45] ---**
Are you all right, Akamaru?!
**[04:50] ---**
This is awful…
**[04:53] ---**
Is anyone there?!
**[04:54] ---**
Shino! Hinata!
**[04:57] ---**
I'm over here.
**[05:04] ---**
Shino… You're okay!
**[05:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:08] ---**
Where's Hinata?
**[05:09] ---**
I don't know.
**[05:11] ---**
Those Paper Bombs were a surprise.
**[05:20] ---**
We'd better find Hinata.
**[05:22] ---**
Can you locate her
with your scent?
**[05:26] ---**
I can't…
The smell of smoke is too strong.
**[05:31] ---**
Hinata!
**[05:32] ---**
Hinata!
**[05:41] ---**
I don't sense the enemy anymore.
**[05:43] ---**
I guess those white guys
were blown away.
**[05:47] ---**
Call it fortune in misfortune.
**[05:50] ---**
But with a blast that strong,
the exit might've been sealed off.
**[05:56] ---**
Kiba!
**[05:57] ---**
Hey!
**[06:02] ---**
Nope… He's dead.
**[06:08] ---**
Who's there?!
**[06:10] ---**
Kiba! Shino!
**[06:12] ---**
Hinata, you're all right!
**[06:16] ---**
The ground gave way and
I fell to the lower level.
**[06:20] ---**
That's…
**[06:22] ---**
It's unfortunate…
**[06:24] ---**
Wasn't there one more
from the Sealing Corps?
**[06:27] ---**
Let's look for him.
**[06:29] ---**
Yes. Let's find him and
get out of here.
**[06:33] ---**
Yeah…
**[06:34] ---**
We can't escape.
**[06:36] ---**
Huh? Why?!
**[06:38] ---**
The explosion didn't kill this shinobi.
**[06:41] ---**
He was fatally wounded
by a kunai.
**[06:45] ---**
Then he was killed
after the explosion?!
**[06:49] ---**
Yes… The enemy survived.
**[06:53] ---**
They can absorb a victim's chakra,
but also take that victim's form.
**[06:57] ---**
If I were him, I could take advantage
of the confusion,
**[07:00] ---**
and slip right back into our forces.
**[07:03] ---**
So you're saying
there's a fake among us?
**[07:06] ---**
It's not impossible.
**[07:09] ---**
Hey, hey!
We're on the same team!
**[07:12] ---**
We'd be able to
see through a fake, right?
**[07:14] ---**
I wonder about that…
**[07:16] ---**
Hinata, why aren't you using
your Byakugan?
**[07:19] ---**
Well, because…
**[07:21] ---**
the Sealing Team's barrier jutsu
was incomplete when it was activated…
**[07:24] ---**
and disrupted my Byakugan.
**[07:28] ---**
Is that the truth?
**[07:29] ---**
Hey, you suspect Hinata?!
**[07:32] ---**
Kiba, are you telling the truth
that your nose isn't working?
**[07:36] ---**
Not me too?!
**[07:39] ---**
What about you?
Are you the real Shino?!
**[07:43] ---**
They didn't touch me
in our earlier skirmish.
**[07:46] ---**
But any amount of chakra can be
sucked out through your insects!
**[07:50] ---**
Well, there's no way
I can disprove that…
**[07:54] ---**
However, I am the real me.
**[07:56] ---**
And I'm the real me!
**[07:58] ---**
So am I.
**[08:00] ---**
This is a futile argument.
**[08:02] ---**
That's because none of us can
prove that we are truly ourselves.
**[08:07] ---**
I know!
**[08:08] ---**
If we can't trust each other,
let's go our own way!
**[08:12] ---**
I'll find the remaining one
on my own!
**[08:15] ---**
Let's go, Akamaru!
**[08:17] ---**
Kiba!
**[08:30] ---**
It seems we don't trust
each other either…
**[08:52] ---**
Thank goodness!
Can you give me a hand?
**[09:12] ---**
What happened?!
**[09:14] ---**
The second victim…
**[09:17] ---**
How terrible…
**[09:18] ---**
There is a fake among us, after all.
**[09:33] ---**
What's the big idea?!
**[09:35] ---**
Don't pretend!
**[09:36] ---**
The victim was holding this!
**[09:39] ---**
From the scent,
it's a piece ripped from your clothes!
**[09:42] ---**
Shino! You're the fake!
**[09:48] ---**
You suddenly started talking
about fakes and what not.
**[09:50] ---**
I had my doubts about you
from the start!
**[09:54] ---**
That piece got ripped off
in the explosion.
**[09:57] ---**
And besides,
if I were the fake,
**[09:59] ---**
why would I even bring it up?
**[10:02] ---**
You probably figured
if you bring it up first,
**[10:04] ---**
no one would suspect you!
**[10:06] ---**
But, damn it, I wouldn't fall
for something like that!
**[10:09] ---**
Get ready!
**[10:13] ---**
Hold it, Kiba! Hinata!
**[10:15] ---**
If we let the fake one
manipulate us,
**[10:16] ---**
we'll end up killing each other!
**[10:17] ---**
That's exactly what they want!
**[10:19] ---**
We're just playing
into their hands!
**[10:47] ---**
*There's one thing I know*
*for sure in this situation.*
**[10:51] ---**
*Just one of us is the fake.*
**[10:53] ---**
*That's because if*
*they were both fake,*
**[10:56] ---**
*they would attack me*
*without hesitation.*
**[10:58] ---**
*In other words, whoever it is,*
**[11:00] ---**
*they're waiting for me and
*the other real one to destroy each other.*
**[11:03] ---**
Then what do you intend to do?!
**[11:05] ---**
Stay here like this until
who knows when?
**[11:07] ---**
I just have one good idea.
**[11:10] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors.
**[11:11] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:12] ---**
Are you serious?
Rock-Paper-Scissors?
**[11:15] ---**
Yes.
**[11:16] ---**
The loser must answer
every question the other two poses.
**[11:19] ---**
Why can't we just take
turns answering?
**[11:22] ---**
Nope, Rock-Paper-Scissors.
**[11:25] ---**
I don't get why we're doing
Rock-Paper-Scissors here.
**[11:29] ---**
– Rock-Paper-Scissors!
– Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[11:33] ---**
I won…
**[11:36] ---**
– Rock-Paper-Scissors!
– Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[11:40] ---**
What are your favorite things?
**[11:43] ---**
Beef jerky and
walking with Akamaru.
**[11:48] ---**
Fine. Next.
**[11:50] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[11:54] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[11:56] ---**
Rock-Paper…
**[11:57] ---**
Say, do we have to do
the Paper-Scissors-Rock part?
**[12:00] ---**
This is the most important part.
**[12:06] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors.
**[12:08] ---**
I-I lose…
**[12:10] ---**
What are your favorite things?
**[12:12] ---**
I like…sweet things.
**[12:15] ---**
Huh? That's a lie.
**[12:17] ---**
What? What's wrong?
**[12:19] ---**
C'mon, what you like
is Naruto, right?
**[12:24] ---**
A-Are these the type of
questions we're asking?!
**[12:28] ---**
Kidding! Just kidding!
**[12:30] ---**
Next.
**[12:32] ---**
I was just joking.
**[12:35] ---**
Never mind, let's continue.
**[12:36] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[12:38] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[12:41] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[12:44] ---**
You lost. So here's my question.
**[12:48] ---**
Only the real Shino would
know the answer!
**[12:53] ---**
When we went after Sasuke,
**[12:55] ---**
you were the only one
left behind.
**[12:57] ---**
How did you feel about that?
**[13:01] ---**
I cannot answer that question.
**[13:03] ---**
In fact, I don't want to answer.
**[13:05] ---**
No fair!
**[13:07] ---**
If you play like that,
this whole thing is pointless!
**[13:10] ---**
If you want to know the truth,
take me down.
**[13:13] ---**
What?
**[13:16] ---**
There's meaning in this…
**[13:17] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[13:21] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[13:24] ---**
I won again!
**[13:26] ---**
One more time…
**[13:27] ---**
What's the point of
saying it out loud like this?
**[13:30] ---**
This is the most crucial part.
**[13:34] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors!
**[13:37] ---**
It's your turn, Shino.
**[13:39] ---**
The game's over.
**[13:41] ---**
Huh?! Who are you to
make the rules?!
**[13:45] ---**
I've been thinking…
**[13:46] ---**
With Captain Yamato
held captive,
**[13:48] ---**
it's not unusual for them to
obtain personal intel about us.
**[13:52] ---**
They went as far as getting
personal data on us?!
**[13:55] ---**
Of course.
**[13:57] ---**
That's because part of their strategy
is to impersonate one of us.
**[14:02] ---**
Because of that,
**[14:03] ---**
the thoughts and habits of
each person are crucial.
**[14:07] ---**
Sure, if you put it that way.
**[14:10] ---**
So everything we've been
doing is meaningless?
**[14:13] ---**
Don't make me keep
repeating myself.
**[14:15] ---**
Doing Rock-Paper-Scissors
has a purpose.
**[14:20] ---**
I don't trust both of you, after all.
**[14:22] ---**
I'm bringing both of you down!
**[14:26] ---**
Shino!
**[14:28] ---**
Whose side are you on?!
**[14:32] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:33] ---**
Fine, I'll fight you!
**[14:34] ---**
Let's do it, Akamaru!
**[14:38] ---**
Fang Over Fang!
**[14:43] ---**
Kiba! I'll assist!
**[14:45] ---**
I'm sure he's the fake!
**[14:56] ---**
I won't let you get away!
**[15:06] ---**
With these flames,
you can't use your insects!
**[15:10] ---**
Get ready!
**[15:11] ---**
Take this…Fang Over Fang!
**[15:20] ---**
Ki…ba…
**[15:25] ---**
We did it!
**[15:26] ---**
Now we can escape.
**[15:30] ---**
That's true…just me.
**[15:34] ---**
What?!
**[15:39] ---**
Akamaru?!
**[15:46] ---**
Ta-da!
**[15:48] ---**
The star of the show appears!
**[15:50] ---**
So you're the fake!
**[15:52] ---**
I was so nervous that you'd start
asking touchy questions.
**[15:57] ---**
Like he said,
**[15:59] ---**
the things we got out of Yamato,
about you, were really helpful.
**[16:03] ---**
As a result,
**[16:04] ---**
you guys had a falling out
and saved me a lot of trouble.
**[16:08] ---**
Without your mutt,
even I can beat you.
**[16:12] ---**
So the Shino I fought was real.
**[16:15] ---**
I'm so stupid!
**[16:18] ---**
You're right.
**[16:20] ---**
That's because
you're really stupid.
**[16:24] ---**
You finally showed your true colors.
**[16:30] ---**
Huh? You're alive? How?
**[16:34] ---**
Because of you,
**[16:35] ---**
I had to sacrifice so
many of my precious insects.
**[16:39] ---**
Insects…
**[16:40] ---**
Then the one I defeated earlier
was an Insect Clone?!
**[16:43] ---**
Exactly.
**[16:44] ---**
How did you know that
I was the fake?!
**[16:48] ---**
I didn't know which one
was fake.
**[16:52] ---**
It was on my mind,
**[16:54] ---**
from the time the three of us
faced each other.
**[16:59] ---**
Even if there was
a fake among us,
**[17:02] ---**
if it was possible
to stay transformed,
**[17:04] ---**
could we really fight in earnest?
**[17:12] ---**
*Gentle Fist!*
**[17:14] ---**
*Gotcha!*
**[17:21] ---**
If we trust a comrade,
**[17:22] ---**
can we really allow ourselves
to bring down that person?
**[17:26] ---**
Then I started thinking about
something even more ridiculous.
**[17:30] ---**
If I'm going to be defeated
by someone like that,
**[17:32] ---**
then maybe it was for the best.
**[17:34] ---**
And then, it became clear.
**[17:39] ---**
I'll have me, the real me,
get taken down.
**[17:42] ---**
Then it would be guaranteed that
you would reveal yourself.
**[17:46] ---**
That's what
the Rock-Paper-Scissors was for.
**[17:48] ---**
Rock-Paper-Scissors?
**[17:51] ---**
Those were hand signals.
**[17:53] ---**
*What's the point of saying it*
*out loud like this?*
**[17:57] ---**
*This is the most crucial part.*
**[18:00] ---**
After he said that,
I started to figure it out.
**[18:05] ---**
Back then, the message
you gave me was…
**[18:09] ---**
"Follow my instructions."
**[18:12] ---**
And after that…
**[18:15] ---**
*If you want to know the truth,*
*take me down.*
**[18:19] ---**
I wasn't completely sure
what you meant,
**[18:21] ---**
but when you came at me…
**[18:23] ---**
I reacted and…
**[18:25] ---**
It all worked out.
**[18:27] ---**
Thanks to you taking down
my clone,
**[18:30] ---**
he revealed himself.
**[18:34] ---**
And since you read my signals,
you're the real Kiba.
**[18:39] ---**
So you played
a dirty little trick on me?
**[18:42] ---**
Well then, I'll just take
on the two of you!
**[18:45] ---**
It's useless!
**[18:46] ---**
That's because you are
already completely under my jutsu!
**[18:51] ---**
I'm avenging the two you killed!
**[18:54] ---**
Hidden Jutsu! Beetle Tornado!
**[19:04] ---**
Thank you, Shino.
**[19:07] ---**
I must say though…
**[19:08] ---**
I had misgivings about
fighting a comrade,
**[19:11] ---**
but you had no qualms
**[19:13] ---**
about using your
Fang Over Fang on me.
**[19:16] ---**
You told me to!
**[19:18] ---**
Besides, you're the one
who came at me first!
**[19:22] ---**
I didn't know which one
was the fake,
**[19:24] ---**
so I had to attack.
**[19:26] ---**
But there's no way
I would attack a girl.
**[19:29] ---**
Quit acting chivalrous!
**[19:31] ---**
We brought down the fake…
**[19:35] ---**
but where's the real Hinata?
**[19:47] ---**
Are you all right, Hinata?!
**[19:50] ---**
Kiba… Akamaru…
**[19:55] ---**
Oh, Shino.
**[19:59] ---**
I was the last one, huh…
**[20:07] ---**
What happened anyway?
**[20:09] ---**
Nothing much.
**[20:12] ---**
However, with this incident,
the most closely guarded secret
**[20:15] ---**
of the Allied Shinobi Force was
almost leaked to the enemy.
**[20:18] ---**
Most closely guarded secret?
**[20:20] ---**
That you love Naruto.
**[20:24] ---**
Huh?! How?
**[20:26] ---**
Kiba was teasing you
and it slipped out.
**[20:30] ---**
S-Stupid! What're you saying?!
**[20:33] ---**
Well, those guys…
**[20:35] ---**
It seems in order
to impersonate us,
**[20:37] ---**
they've got all sorts of personal intel
from Captain Yamato!
**[20:42] ---**
*Wait…*
**[20:43] ---**
*Does that mean they know*
*that secret,*
**[20:46] ---**
*which only Captain Yamato knows?*
**[20:49] ---**
*Including that secret from that time…*
**[20:52] ---**
*Even a secret like this?*
**[20:58] ---**
I'm going to destroy them!
**[21:01] ---**
Each and every one of them!!
**[21:02] ---**
– Right!
– Right!
**[22:37] ---**
Hmm?! Sasuke, how are you
still alive?
**[22:41] ---**
Where's Naruto?
**[22:43] ---**
I don't know!
Recognize me! Hmm!
**[22:46] ---**
I only have business with Naruto.
**[22:48] ---**
Damn you, not again.
**[22:50] ---**
You still won't acknowledge me.
**[22:52] ---**
No.
**[22:54] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Aesthetics of an Artist"
**[22:59] ---**
I'll wipe that smug expression
off your face!
AESTHETICS OF AN ARTIST
**[23:01] ---**
AESTHETICS OF AN ARTIST
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
