**[00:01] ---**
*It happened again!*
**[00:02] ---**
*There are reports from*
*every sector that*
**[00:04] ---**
*our comrades are being ambushed*
*one after another!*
**[00:08] ---**
*There's confusion everywhere!*
**[00:09] ---**
*We don't know who the enemy is!*
**[00:11] ---**
*What's going on?!*
**[00:13] ---**
*A night raid is supposed*
*to have been ruled out!*
**[00:15] ---**
*On top of that, we added security and*
*positioned Sensory-type ninja…*
**[00:19] ---**
*Why can't we detect the enemy?!*
**[00:22] ---**
*Is it some kind of poison?*
**[00:23] ---**
*What's the condition of the corpses?*
**[00:25] ---**
*All of them have external wounds.*
**[00:28] ---**
*They're physical attacks.*
**[00:31] ---**
*No doubt they're controlling*
*Allied shinobi with genjutsu.*
**[00:37] ---**
*Could it be Itachi?*
**[00:38] ---**
*Hold on! We just got word from*
*the Medical Corps.*
**[00:42] ---**
*The enemy looks to be…*
**[00:45] ---**
*White Zetsu transformed into*
*Allied Force shinobi!*
**[00:49] ---**
*They're able to mirror chakra imprints!*
**[00:52] ---**
*That explains it…*
**[00:54] ---**
*So during the day battle,*
**[00:56] ---**
*if one of our shinobi got*
*his chakra absorbed,*
**[00:58] ---**
*White Zetsu can transform*
*into him completely!*
**[01:01] ---**
*What should we do,*
*Shikaku of the Leaf?*
**[01:04] ---**
*There is no way we can weed out*
*who is friend and who is foe!*
**[01:06] ---**
*How will we prepare for*
*the battle at dawn?*
**[01:09] ---**
*If we don't find*
*the enemy immediately,*
**[01:12] ---**
*we'll not only lose precious time,*
**[01:13] ---**
*but our own men will*
*become casualties!*
**[01:15] ---**
*In the end, they could*
*end up killing each other!*
**[01:19] ---**
*So this is the power of White Zetsu.*
**[01:23] ---**
*The battle during the day was*
*simply to set up the night…*
**[01:28] ---**
*This was the enemy's true motive.*
**[03:02] ---**
*Aesthetics of an Artist*
**[03:20] ---**
There's no sign of enemy movement.
**[03:22] ---**
Okay, but stay alert.
**[03:26] ---**
Yes. I have look-outs
posted everywhere.
**[03:40] ---**
Halt! Who goes there?!
**[03:42] ---**
I'm an ally.
**[03:44] ---**
Kurotsuchi of the Hidden Stone,
from the Second Company.
**[03:47] ---**
I've come to speak with the prisoner.
**[03:55] ---**
I'm here to relieve you.
**[03:57] ---**
Okay. Thanks.
**[04:00] ---**
Get some rest. We'll keep watch.
**[04:04] ---**
Okay.
**[04:34] ---**
*It's so tacky to exhibit*
*one's Ultimate Art, over and over!*
**[04:38] ---**
*But I guess I have no choice, hmm!*
**[04:41] ---**
*Lightning Style?!*
**[04:43] ---**
*I was being careful too,*
**[04:45] ---**
*since I'm susceptible to*
*the Lightning Style.*
**[04:47] ---**
Deidara… Deidara.
**[04:51] ---**
Stop casually calling out
my name like that!
**[04:54] ---**
It's me, Zetsu.
**[04:56] ---**
Zetsu? Is that you?!
**[04:58] ---**
You were a fun guy.
**[05:01] ---**
I'm going to help you
for old time's sake.
**[05:03] ---**
Thanks. Quickly!
**[05:06] ---**
Hurry.
**[05:07] ---**
Hold on a second…
**[05:12] ---**
Oh that? In there?
**[05:17] ---**
What is it?
**[05:19] ---**
So Big Bro Deidara, you still alive?
**[05:21] ---**
I'm dead.
**[05:23] ---**
That voice… Is that you, Kurotsuchi?
**[05:25] ---**
Did you come to rescue me
for old time's sake?
**[05:28] ---**
I was sent here because
we used to be friends,
**[05:30] ---**
but the situation's just
the opposite now.
**[05:32] ---**
I came because I need your help.
**[05:34] ---**
Huh? What do you mean by that?
**[05:37] ---**
She's interrogating
the Hidden Stone ninja.
**[05:40] ---**
Where is Kabuto Yakushi?
**[05:42] ---**
How should I know!
**[05:43] ---**
I wouldn't tell you even if I knew, hmm.
**[05:46] ---**
Look, Bro…
**[05:47] ---**
Kabuto brought you back to life
**[05:49] ---**
and is now using you at
his convenience.
**[05:51] ---**
You're dead, so the least
you can do is forget the past,
**[05:54] ---**
and cooperate with us a little.
**[05:57] ---**
Kabuto gave me an opportunity
to acquire the Super Ultimate Art.
**[06:03] ---**
All right.
Then where is Sasuke Uchiha?
**[06:06] ---**
Sasuke, you say?
**[06:08] ---**
Are you saying
he was reanimated, as well?
**[06:11] ---**
Sasuke's not dead!
**[06:13] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[06:15] ---**
I killed him with my Ultimate Art!
**[06:18] ---**
But I saw him.
**[06:19] ---**
After you died Bro,
Sasuke was alive and well.
**[06:22] ---**
He was fighting with the Raikage
and the others.
**[06:34] ---**
*A-Amazing.*
**[06:36] ---**
He joined the Akatsuki and
is an enemy of the Allied Forces.
**[06:40] ---**
He's with the Akatsuki?!
**[06:43] ---**
Right?
**[06:43] ---**
Huh?! Yeah, I guess.
**[06:46] ---**
What's with that?
**[06:47] ---**
Sasuke's alive?
And he's a member of Akatsuki?
**[06:50] ---**
You've gotta be kidding.
**[06:52] ---**
*In death, I will become art.*
**[06:55] ---**
*This never-before-seen explosion*
**[06:57] ---**
*will leave a never-before-seen scar*
*on this land.*
**[07:01] ---**
*And…! My art will win*
*never-before-seen admiration!*
**[07:07] ---**
*Now, tremble with fear!*
**[07:09] ---**
*Be in awe! Despair!*
**[07:14] ---**
*Scream!*
**[07:16] ---**
*My art is…*
**[07:24] ---**
*An explosion!*
**[07:28] ---**
There's no way
he could still be alive!
**[07:30] ---**
I'm telling you he's alive.
**[07:32] ---**
That was my Ultimate Art!
**[07:34] ---**
Nobody cares about art.
**[07:37] ---**
Sasuke, that bastard!
**[07:39] ---**
What's with that guy?!
Wasn't he in awe?
**[07:42] ---**
Didn't he tremble with fear?
Didn't he despair?
**[07:45] ---**
Didn't he scream,
"What the hell is this?!"?
**[07:49] ---**
*The Earth Style is vulnerable*
*to the Lightning Style.*
**[07:51] ---**
*Your explosives won't detonate*
*against my Lightning Style.*
**[07:56] ---**
*Isn't that your weakness?*
**[07:58] ---**
Screw you, Sasuke!
**[08:01] ---**
Your Lightning Style won't
hold me down forever!
**[08:09] ---**
Commander Mifune!
An urgent message from Headquarters!
**[08:12] ---**
The enemy has infiltrated
the Allied Forces
**[08:14] ---**
and are assassinating people!
**[08:16] ---**
Chaos is spreading within
all the companies!
**[08:19] ---**
Is this company in any danger?
**[08:22] ---**
Not at the moment.
**[08:24] ---**
Yes, sir! I will relay your reply.
**[08:27] ---**
Sir, what about
the Hidden Stone kunoichi earlier?
**[08:31] ---**
I don't think she's an enemy.
**[08:33] ---**
Bro?
**[08:35] ---**
Hey, are you listening, Bro?
Answer me!
**[08:38] ---**
This isn't getting anywhere!
**[08:41] ---**
Open it. I want to speak
with him directly.
**[08:44] ---**
You want me to open it?
**[08:48] ---**
Hey.
**[08:49] ---**
Sir!
**[08:50] ---**
Mountain.
**[08:52] ---**
Huh?
**[08:54] ---**
Mountain…
**[08:56] ---**
Distant skies?
**[09:01] ---**
It's "River."
**[09:02] ---**
Damn samurai!
**[09:06] ---**
You're so predictable.
**[09:08] ---**
You bastards!
**[09:09] ---**
They're Zetsu!
**[09:10] ---**
What?!
**[09:11] ---**
Careful! They'll absorb your chakra!
**[09:24] ---**
Art is…an explosion.
**[09:27] ---**
Deidara!
**[09:29] ---**
How?! Why didn't the Lightning Style
seal his Explosion Style?!
**[09:35] ---**
Is that how you channeled
the Lightning Style away?
**[09:38] ---**
What was that doing
inside the puppet?!
**[09:40] ---**
It was thanks to me…
**[09:43] ---**
Zetsu.
**[09:44] ---**
What?
**[09:46] ---**
Let's get out of here!
**[09:47] ---**
Huh? Wait!
**[09:49] ---**
Don't let him get away!
**[09:50] ---**
Man, he's troublesome
even when he's dead!
**[09:54] ---**
The prisoner, Deidara,
has escaped.
**[09:56] ---**
He's with his comrade, Zetsu.
Apprehend them!
**[09:59] ---**
Okisuke.
**[10:01] ---**
I will take full responsibility
for my blunder, I swear!
**[10:04] ---**
This is not the time for regrets.
After them!
**[10:07] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:08] ---**
Why are we running?
**[10:10] ---**
Let's kill them!
**[10:12] ---**
I'm out of Detonating Clay.
**[10:14] ---**
I need to get more somewhere.
**[10:17] ---**
Uh-oh… They're coming!
**[10:25] ---**
You're in my way!
**[10:30] ---**
In front, too!
**[10:32] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:37] ---**
Still weak as ever, aren't you?
**[10:39] ---**
That was a tactic to
give us more time.
**[10:43] ---**
*Looks like you escaped the seal.*
**[10:46] ---**
Kabuto!
**[10:48] ---**
I would've expected nothing less.
I'll take that back.
**[10:51] ---**
*Wait!*
**[10:52] ---**
*My Ultimate Art was*
*completely rejected!*
**[10:55] ---**
*I can't die like this…*
**[10:57] ---**
*even if I'm already dead. Hmm.*
**[11:00] ---**
You intend to stand and fight there?
**[11:02] ---**
*I'm going to perfect*
*my Super Ultimate Art!*
**[11:06] ---**
I just don't understand
how you artists think.
**[11:09] ---**
But intellectuals have
to protect artists.
**[11:15] ---**
That's…
**[11:18] ---**
Get away. I'll hold them off.
**[11:21] ---**
I'll leave them to you, Chukichi!
**[11:25] ---**
Hidden Frost Jutsu.
**[11:34] ---**
What the hell?!
**[11:35] ---**
Where is he hiding?
**[11:45] ---**
That's…a lot of 'em.
**[11:52] ---**
He's gone!
**[11:54] ---**
Curses!
**[11:57] ---**
I sense them!
**[11:59] ---**
Commander Mifune!
They went that way!
**[12:01] ---**
Let's go.
**[12:05] ---**
How much farther
are we going to run?
**[12:07] ---**
I need clay, hmm!
**[12:09] ---**
I need to find a place
with clay in the soil.
**[12:12] ---**
Leave that to me.
**[12:17] ---**
Fight as you see fit, Deidara.
Freedom suits you well.
**[12:23] ---**
Besides, I'm going to be busy.
**[12:27] ---**
Unless we catch Big Bro Deidara
before he finds some clay,
**[12:31] ---**
this could get troublesome.
**[12:33] ---**
Previously, Omoi of the Cloud
contained the explosion
**[12:35] ---**
with his Lightning Style,
**[12:37] ---**
but he's is in a different unit now.
**[12:40] ---**
Do we have anyone in this unit
who can handle lightning?
**[12:42] ---**
Fifth Company split into two.
**[12:45] ---**
Our company's main weapon
is samurai.
**[12:47] ---**
Our only ninja are sensory, sealing,
and intel support personnel.
**[12:52] ---**
Commander Mifune,
I am able to do Lightning Style.
**[12:56] ---**
Good…
**[13:09] ---**
They're coming, Deidara!
Our pursuers!
**[13:12] ---**
What?!
**[13:13] ---**
I've only managed to get
this much Detonating Clay!
**[13:16] ---**
Scatter!
**[13:21] ---**
Lightning Style!
**[13:27] ---**
What's happening?!
**[13:28] ---**
Did Big Bro—?!
**[13:29] ---**
Under us!
**[13:30] ---**
Land mines!
**[13:31] ---**
Jump!
**[13:36] ---**
You're not gonna stop us!
**[13:47] ---**
Take that!
**[13:56] ---**
Not enough, hmm.
**[14:02] ---**
This is art!
**[14:08] ---**
Big Bro's gonna explode.
**[14:10] ---**
You have to keep discharging it!
**[14:12] ---**
We need a more powerful
Lightning Style!
**[14:14] ---**
Th-This is the best I can do!
**[14:20] ---**
Lord Mifune!
**[14:39] ---**
Hey, Deidara…
**[14:43] ---**
Hey, what's happening to me?
**[14:44] ---**
A reanimated body is immortal.
**[14:48] ---**
In a way, you're like
a walking Detonating Clay Bomb.
**[14:51] ---**
I suspected that.
**[14:53] ---**
How tacky! The despair, hmm!
**[14:57] ---**
Why?
**[14:59] ---**
Art is a moment of brilliance,
**[15:01] ---**
blossoms that scatter all at once.
**[15:04] ---**
But this body can't scatter!
**[15:09] ---**
I'm going to find
a Super Ultimate Art
**[15:11] ---**
that transcends
the Ultimate Art, hmm.
**[15:20] ---**
Damn you, Bro!
**[15:26] ---**
Lord Mifune? Where are you?
**[15:31] ---**
Lord Mifune!
**[15:33] ---**
The holes left by his landmines
became trenches.
**[15:39] ---**
Bro Deidara wasn't very thorough
with his Detonating Clay, was he?
**[15:42] ---**
We'll need a plan.
**[15:45] ---**
With insulation,
**[15:46] ---**
we could keep him from channeling
away the Lightning Style.
**[15:48] ---**
The problem is
our Lightning Style wielder.
**[15:50] ---**
But…I'm not…
**[15:52] ---**
You just concentrate on
sensing their whereabouts.
**[15:55] ---**
Shall I request Headquarters
for reinforcements?
**[15:58] ---**
We don't have time to wait
for reinforcements.
**[16:05] ---**
We'll do this with
the personnel we have.
**[16:20] ---**
*What am I going to do?*
**[16:22] ---**
*This immortal body and*
*my aesthetic are incompatible.*
**[16:27] ---**
*Sasori might be able*
*to do something.*
**[16:30] ---**
*But he went off quickly.*
**[16:34] ---**
*I'm all alone.*
**[16:36] ---**
*But artists are loners*
*to begin with, hmm.*
**[16:40] ---**
I buried the landmines.
**[16:43] ---**
Well? Got any ideas?
**[16:46] ---**
Art doesn't come to one that easily.
**[16:49] ---**
Especially not a Super Ultimate Art!
**[17:13] ---**
Sasuke?!
**[17:15] ---**
Why are you here?
**[17:25] ---**
It's you guys…
**[17:27] ---**
Bastard! Why are you alive?!
**[17:29] ---**
Where's Naruto?
**[17:31] ---**
I don't know!
**[17:32] ---**
Right now, pay attention to me, hmm!
**[17:35] ---**
My business is with Naruto.
**[17:37] ---**
Damn it, not that again!
**[17:40] ---**
First Itachi, now Naruto?!
**[17:42] ---**
You really don't give
a damn about me, do you?!
**[17:46] ---**
Nope.
**[17:47] ---**
Bastard!
**[17:49] ---**
They're coming!
**[17:50] ---**
See ya.
**[17:51] ---**
Stop!
**[17:52] ---**
Deidara!
**[17:55] ---**
Don't let them get away!
**[17:59] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[18:00] ---**
Deidara! Wait!
**[18:02] ---**
Sasuke didn't seem…
**[18:10] ---**
This time,
I'll make you tremble with fear!
**[18:12] ---**
You'll be awed!
**[18:14] ---**
You'll feel despair.
**[18:16] ---**
I'll wipe that smug expression
off your face!
**[18:34] ---**
I see!
**[18:35] ---**
There! Over there!
**[18:39] ---**
I knew it. Your weakness
isn't Lightning Style, Bro.
**[18:41] ---**
It's your stupid obsession with art!
**[18:47] ---**
Kurotsuchi?!
**[18:49] ---**
Bastards! What's the meaning of this?
**[18:57] ---**
A dud?
**[19:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:08] ---**
That sword won't stop my art!
**[19:17] ---**
A samurai using Lightning Style?!
**[19:19] ---**
It's not Lightning Style.
**[19:21] ---**
A storage cell… Looks like
you know how to use one.
**[19:27] ---**
I don't!
**[19:29] ---**
What the—?!
**[19:31] ---**
This is all bedrock, Bro.
**[19:35] ---**
The sword can't penetrate.
**[19:36] ---**
Even if it could, it won't let
the Lightning Style discharge.
**[19:45] ---**
Damn it! Hey! Let me go!
**[19:53] ---**
All right.
**[19:59] ---**
And one other thing, Bro.
**[20:01] ---**
Where is the real Sasuke right now?
**[20:03] ---**
Damn it, Kurotsuchi.
Don't treat me like a fool!
**[20:08] ---**
Pretending to be Sasuke!
You even looked like him!
**[20:11] ---**
Screw you!
**[20:12] ---**
Yeah, I suppose it's no use trying
to get info out of you, Bro.
**[20:17] ---**
You're totally screwed.
**[20:19] ---**
We're heading back.
**[20:20] ---**
We'll maintain our original frontline.
**[20:22] ---**
Inform Headquarters.
**[20:25] ---**
Commander, could I have that back?
**[20:32] ---**
Don't bother us again,
Bro Deidara!
**[20:36] ---**
See ya!
**[20:43] ---**
That might work, hmm!
**[20:45] ---**
I've decided the theme of
my Super Ultimate Art!
**[20:50] ---**
That thing could use a face!
**[20:56] ---**
Art will never die!
**[20:59] ---**
Even if I'm dead..hmm!
**[22:37] ---**
While all the shinobi
are away fighting
**[22:39] ---**
in the 4th great shinobi war,
**[22:40] ---**
we need to be prepared
to protect the village!
**[22:42] ---**
There's a chance the enemy
may come for us as well!
**[22:46] ---**
We've had incidents
like that before,
**[22:48] ---**
and every time,
we beat the crap out of them!
**[22:51] ---**
Don't underestimate the mothers
of the Leaf Village!
**[22:55] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Allied Mom Force!"
**[23:00] ---**
Protecting the village is also
an important duty!
THE ALLIED MOM FORCE!
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
