    Ninja Network News!
[00:06] ---
    Good evening,
    I am Mabui of the Cloud.
[00:09] ---
    I'm Shikaku Nara.
[00:11] ---
    Today, we'll be bringing you
    the latest news
[00:14] ---
    from various battlefronts via satellite.
[00:17] ---
    Before that,
    here are some highlights
[00:19] ---
    from battles that continue
    to rage on the frontlines.
[00:23] ---
    On the desert front,
    the standoff continues
[00:26] ---
    between Gaara's Fourth Company
    and the previous Kage.
[00:29] ---
    On the coastal front,
[00:30] ---
    Darui and his First Company
    sustained heavy losses
[00:33] ---
    when the enemy summoned
    a giant humanoid.
[00:35] ---
    However, they succeeded in
    eliminating most of the enemy force.
[00:38] ---
    The Third Company under Kakashi
    are sealing away
[00:41] ---
    the Ninja Swordsmen
    one after another.
[00:43] ---
    The company has been split up
    into smaller units
[00:45] ---
    and expanded the area
    of fierce fighting,
[00:47] ---
    in order to take down
    remaining enemies.
[00:49] ---
    Mifune's Fifth Company have joined up
    with the Commando Unit.
[00:52] ---
    Deidara's escape was unexpected,
[00:55] ---
    but they were successful
    in recapturing him.
[00:59] ---
    Next up, we have news
    about White Zetsu.
[01:02] ---
    His jutsu with which he mimics
    not only appearances, but even chakra,
[01:06] ---
    has created chaos
    within the Allied Force…
[01:08] ---
    However, thanks to
    the fine observations
[01:10] ---
    of Sakura Haruno of
    the Medical Unit,
[01:13] ---
    our genius strategist, Shikaku,
    has been able
[01:16] ---
    to draw up a counter strategy.
[01:19] ---
    I'm refining the strategy right now,
    so please be patient just a bit longer.
[01:23] ---
    At the front, Sakura has just
    begun a news conference
[01:26] ---
    in order to get data out
    about White Zetsu.
[01:31] ---
    I understand you received
    a love letter,
[01:33] ---
    but rejected it immediately.
    Is this true?
[01:36] ---
    Err…N-No, that's…
[01:37] ---
    That hasn't been the only declaration
    of love you've received, has it?
[01:40] ---
    U-Um… Please…
[01:42] ---
    You supposedly said that
    you're already in love…
[01:46] ---
    – Who is this person?!
    – Please tell us!
[01:49] ---
    That has nothing to do with
    this news conference!! Cha!
[01:53] ---
    Whoa… The "Kosuke Kills" corner
    was scheduled in this time slot…
[01:57] ---
    but we just received an update.
[01:59] ---
    According to this bulletin,
[02:01] ---
    the key figures of the
    Fourth Great Ninja World War,
[02:04] ---
    Killer Bee the Eight Tails and
    Naruto the Nine Tails,
[02:07] ---
    have persuaded Lady Tsunade
    and Lord Raikage…
[02:10] ---
    and at long last, they are heading
    towards the battlefield.
[02:13] ---
    I'm amazed that they were able
    to convince those two.
[02:17] ---
    Looks like we have a satellite link
    with the duo.
[02:19] ---
    Let's ask them if they're excited
    about joining the war effort.
[02:23] ---
    Naruto… Naruto?
[02:27] ---
    Was the link broken?
[02:30] ---
    Is the equipment malfunctioning?
[02:33] ---
    I'm not sure…
[02:36] ---
    Okay, it seems we're connected now.
[02:39] ---
    All right, let's try again.
    Naruto!
[02:43] ---
    So do I talk into this
    as I'm running?
[02:46] ---
    Stay put, so the camera can focus.
[02:49] ---
    And I'll plant a kiss
    on you like this.
[02:52] ---
    Hey! Get out of my way!
[02:54] ---
    What are those two doing?!
[02:57] ---
    We're still on the air…
[04:30] ---
    Naruto Enters the Battle
    
    
[04:44] ---
    If Kisame's intel is correct,
    Naruto now has the same ability,
[04:47] ---
    just like Mito Uzumaki,
    the wife of the First Hokage,
[04:50] ---
    to sense the enemy.
[04:54] ---
    Naruto will have no choice.
[04:57] ---
    He'll have to battle
    with White Zetsu.
[05:01] ---
    It's all going according to plan…
[05:03] ---
    Today, the Senju's Will of Fire
    shall be extinguished.
[05:07] ---
    The two Kage who block their path
    and refuse to let them go are…
[05:11] ---
    Lord Raikage and Lady Tsunade.
[05:14] ---
    Demanding that
    they get out of the way,
[05:17] ---
    Naruto makes his approach.
[05:18] ---
    The indomitable Bee is quick
    to react and jumps in to assist.
[05:23] ---
    Shockingly, Lady Tsunade
    steps aside to let them pass,
[05:27] ---
    inciting Lord Raikage
    to roar his dissent.
[05:30] ---
    But the sun inside Naruto
    softens his heart…
[05:33] ---
    The light of brotherly love and
    parental love burns so bright,
[05:37] ---
    it makes him squint.
[05:39] ---
    And so, he relents
    and lets them go.
[05:43] ---
    In an intense,
    touching moment between men…
[05:47] ---
    Lady Tsunade and Lord Raikage
    let Naruto have his way.
[05:52] ---
    Oh sorry… Lady Tsunade isn't a man.
[05:57] ---
    This is momentous.
[06:00] ---
    To think that Lord Raikage
    could be persuaded…
[06:04] ---
    I'm not that surprised.
[06:07] ---
    There's something about Naruto
[06:09] ---
    that makes the impossible
    seem possible.
[06:11] ---
    But…this could be just
    what the enemy is hoping for.
[06:16] ---
    Consider White Zetsu's
    Transformation Jutsu.
[06:19] ---
    It's as though it's used specifically
    to lure Naruto out.
[06:23] ---
    It definitely could be a trap.
[06:26] ---
    However, we have no choice,
    but to leave this in Naruto's hands.
[06:32] ---
    No one is allowed near
    Lady Shizune's tent!
[06:35] ---
    Anyone making a move will
    be considered an enemy!
[06:38] ---
    So, just stay put!
[07:04] ---
    Don't move! You must not move!
[07:08] ---
    Sakura, take a look at
    this genetic sequence data!
[07:12] ---
    It's finally done?!
[07:15] ---
    It has changed and become
    even more like Captain Yamato's
[07:17] ---
    than it was at
    the Five Kage Summit!
[07:19] ---
    In other words,
[07:20] ---
    there's very little difference from
    the First Hokage's genetic data.
[07:25] ---
    So it was true.
[07:27] ---
    What are you saying?!
[07:29] ---
    What's this about the white guy
    and the First Hokage?
[07:33] ---
    Namely, this white guy is
    a clone of the First Hokage.
[07:37] ---
    Or rather, judging from
    how many there are,
[07:39] ---
    the First Hokage's cells
    were cultivated and
[07:42] ---
    using mobile plants as a medium,
    clones that can move were created.
[07:47] ---
    They are diluted in strength,
    but they still use the Wood Style.
[07:49] ---
    Huh?! I still don't get it…
[07:53] ---
    I don't get it,
[07:54] ---
    but I'm supposed to guard you
    against plants. Right?
[07:58] ---
    Well then, how about
    using termites?
[08:01] ---
    Looking at this data,
    I'm sure Captain Yamato
[08:04] ---
    is being used to make
    these clones stronger.
[08:07] ---
    I'll notify HQ immediately!
[08:11] ---
    I'm back!
[08:13] ---
    I got word that those white beings
    are transforming,
[08:15] ---
    and are causing havoc
    on the battlefield.
[08:17] ---
    Perhaps it's too much
    of a coincidence,
[08:19] ---
    but letting Naruto go
    couldn't have been timed better.
[08:20] ---
    I agree.
[08:22] ---
    Sorry to interrupt,
[08:23] ---
    but we just got a report
    from the Medical Team.
[08:26] ---
    It's data about those white beings.
[08:27] ---
    Give it to me!
[08:31] ---
    Who would have thought that
    Madara and Orochimaru's fixation
[08:33] ---
    on the First Hokage
    would create this?
[08:37] ---
    Botanical Ninja created
    from Grandfather's body.
[08:42] ---
    This is proof that
[08:43] ---
    Madara has possession of
    the First Hokage's cells!
[08:46] ---
    He's cultivated them
[08:47] ---
    and developed a way
    to replicate them.
[08:50] ---
    Including his own body.
[08:52] ---
    No wonder he's been
    able to live this long.
[08:55] ---
    Well? Do we have an idea
    of how to destroy him?
[08:59] ---
    No… Just the opposite…
[09:01] ---
    Now, we don't even know
    what will kill him.
[09:03] ---
    It seems Madara is really…immortal!
[09:12] ---
    An immortal leader and
    his mobile plants…
[09:15] ---
    Reanimation zombies…
[09:17] ---
    Not a normal human among them.
[09:21] ---
    Notify Naruto and Bee immediately
[09:23] ---
    about the White Beings'
    Transformation Technique!
[09:30] ---
    Naruto, please listen carefully.
    You too, Lord Bee.
[09:35] ---
    I am transmitting this message
    directly into your minds.
[09:39] ---
    Let me explain the enemy's battle jutsu
    and their objective.
[09:43] ---
    Pay close attention.
[09:49] ---
    That explains all the weird,
    fuzzy sensations I've been having.
[09:53] ---
    I guess I have no choice,
    but to step up.
[09:57] ---
    Yeah!
[09:58] ---
    But remember, I mentioned
    that Madara's Project Tsuki no Me
[10:01] ---
    won't work without
    your Tailed Beasts…
[10:04] ---
    That means you two are his targets.
[10:08] ---
    I know that!
[10:10] ---
    As if I'd sit still and
    let them capture me!
[10:12] ---
    Then this time,
[10:14] ---
    don't even think about
    negotiating with him, Naruto.
[10:17] ---
    Madara is different from
    Pain and Nagato.
[10:20] ---
    He has no interest in peace.
[10:22] ---
    He's a truly evil man
    who covets the entire world.
[10:28] ---
    Controlling people requires
    the skill to manipulate
[10:31] ---
    the darkness in their souls.
[10:34] ---
    Although, Nagato just happened
    to be easily influenced.
[10:38] ---
    Don't compare yourself with Nagato!
[10:41] ---
    His ways were different,
    but he truly wished for peace!
[10:45] ---
    But you're different!
[10:48] ---
    You're right.
[10:52] ---
    The appearance of an Uchiha…
    gathering Tailed Beasts…
[10:59] ---
    Just what is your goal?
[11:01] ---
    What do you hope to accomplish?
[11:04] ---
    Let's see… If anything,
    it's to become complete.
[11:12] ---
    And with Project Tsuki no Me,
[11:14] ---
    he'll be able to completely control
    humans through genjutsu…
[11:18] ---
    That's about it.
    So don't let down your guard!
[11:24] ---
    I once talked to Madara
    in the Land of Iron.
[11:27] ---
    He told me about
    the Uchiha Clan's destiny.
[11:30] ---
    He knows all about hatred,
    and took advantage of Nagato.
[11:34] ---
    He's the one fueling
    Sasuke's hatred too.
[11:36] ---
    I know how evil he is.
[11:39] ---
    He doesn't act out of hatred.
    He simply exploits hatred.
[11:44] ---
    He's unlike any other foe
    you've faced, so be careful!
[11:48] ---
    In any case, I'm going to
    pulverize Madara
[11:51] ---
    and bring this war to an end!
[11:53] ---
    Only then can we talk.
[11:56] ---
    I don't know about Kabuto,
[11:57] ---
    but Madara is supposedly immortal.
[12:00] ---
    Furthermore, those mobile plants
    that were restructured
[12:03] ---
    with the First Hokage's cells…
[12:05] ---
    You know,
    those otherworldly zombies…
[12:08] ---
    Nothing works against them
    except by sealing.
[12:10] ---
    Talk about an undead army.
[12:12] ---
    Beware of them too!
[12:14] ---
    That's the only piece of
    good news.
[12:17] ---
    I don't have to worry
    about holding back!
[12:23] ---
    That's…
[12:25] ---
    It's chaos out there
    in the battlefield!
[12:27] ---
    We've got to get back and
    shore up HQ's defense!
[12:31] ---
    Rasengan!
[12:33] ---
    Naruto?!
[12:44] ---
    Leave it all to Naruto here.
[12:46] ---
    Those he gives his stamp of approval.
    Are the only ones I'll give an ear.
[12:50] ---
    They're all enemies!
[12:58] ---
    Let's do this, Octopops!
[13:04] ---
    Rasenrangan!
[13:15] ---
    Rasenkyugan!
[13:23] ---
    Naruto's attack is affecting
    the Wood Style,
[13:26] ---
    and turning them back
    into wood?
[13:31] ---
    It's just like before…
[13:47] ---
    This way, we won't be so vulnerable
    to the effects of his attack.
[13:55] ---
    Mini-Rasen Shuriken…
[14:03] ---
    Summoning, Mayhem Jutsu!
[14:10] ---
    All right!
[14:11] ---
    Yay!
[14:13] ---
    The fruits of training.
    Thanks to my mentoring.
[14:16] ---
    Yay…
[14:17] ---
    I'll leave my Shadow Clones
    and Mr. Gamahiro
[14:19] ---
    to keep an eye here.
[14:21] ---
    Let's go!
[14:23] ---
    I'm gonna hit all the battlefields
    at the same time!
[14:27] ---
    Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[14:41] ---
    It's no good. He caught up to us!
[14:43] ---
    H-He's…?!
[14:46] ---
    He's a Cloud Ninja with
    a Kekkei Genkai!
[14:50] ---
    Magnet Style Toroi!
[14:52] ---
    The Hidden Cloud has
    a Magnet Style user too?
[14:56] ---
    When he attacks, you must always…
[15:02] ---
    You Idiot! I said you always
    have to dodge it!
[15:04] ---
    Huh? You didn't say that!
[15:06] ---
    I didn't have time to finish
    my sentence!
[15:08] ---
    His Magnet Style magnetizes
    any object that he touches.
[15:14] ---
    And subsequently, anything those
    things touch becomes magnetized…
[15:18] ---
    although the effect is not
    as strong.
[15:21] ---
    You are the first transfer point
    to have touched the shuriken,
[15:23] ---
    so the magnetic power
    in your body is…
[15:25] ---
    Huh? What exactly do you mean?
[15:28] ---
    Right now, your body is infused
    with magnetic power
[15:31] ---
    since his shuriken is magnetic.
[15:34] ---
    Which means,
    your body and his shuriken
[15:36] ---
    are going to be
    drawn to each other.
[15:39] ---
    Which means, in his second attack,
[15:41] ---
    you won't be able to dodge it!
[15:46] ---
    That means I'm gonna die!
[15:51] ---
    I'm gonna die!
[15:54] ---
    Rasengan!
[16:03] ---
    Are you guys okay?
[16:08] ---
    What is all this ruckus?
[16:14] ---
    Lord Bee!
    What are you doing here?
[16:17] ---
    Are you okay?
[16:19] ---
    You shouldn't be here!
[16:21] ---
    Those white beings are disguising
    themselves as our comrades.
[16:24] ---
    I know that.
[16:26] ---
    So this is one of the zombies
[16:27] ---
    controlled by
    the Reanimation Jutsu…
[16:30] ---
    Looks like sealing them like this
[16:32] ---
    is the only way to stop them.
[16:35] ---
    We were rushing back to
    Headquarters with Eff
[16:37] ---
    to tighten the security there,
    but got separated…
[16:40] ---
    Eff was actually a white guy.
[16:43] ---
    Huh?!
[16:45] ---
    Things here have gone awry.
[16:48] ---
    Octopops, we have to catch up
    with everyone else.
[16:52] ---
    Yeah!
[16:56] ---
    If Eff and the others
    were imposters…
[16:58] ---
    – You…
    – You…
[17:00] ---
    No, both of us were almost
    killed by the enemy.
[17:03] ---
    So we're okay.
[17:06] ---
    Y-You're right.
[17:15] ---
    Gotcha!
[17:24] ---
    Are you trying to kill me?!
[17:26] ---
    It's your fault for joking around
    at a time like this!
[17:45] ---
    We can't retreat any further.
[17:48] ---
    We'll have to make our stand here!
[17:51] ---
    I agree.
[17:52] ---
    First, the two of us will launch
    long-range offensives.
[17:56] ---
    We'll see how the enemy responds!
[18:01] ---
    They were slowly retreating,
[18:03] ---
    but it seems they've made up
    their minds.
[18:06] ---
    Fighting those from other villages
    is understandable.
[18:08] ---
    But we are forced to
    bring ourselves
[18:09] ---
    to take on shinobi from
    our homelands.
[18:12] ---
    Damn that brat Orochimaru
    for controlling us!
[18:16] ---
    He will regret this!
[18:18] ---
    I never saw eye to eye
    with you before,
[18:20] ---
    but for the first time,
    I agree with you.
[18:23] ---
    Do not lament.
[18:25] ---
    I'm certain our children have grown
    and surpassed us.
[18:31] ---
    I hope you are right…
[18:36] ---
    Here they come.
[18:38] ---
    First, two of them.
[18:45] ---
    Look at those
    amazing waves of sand!
[18:48] ---
    This is Shukaku…
[18:50] ---
    The power of the One Tail…
[18:54] ---
    So they're starting off with
    the Playing Possum Jutsu?
[19:00] ---
    Gold Dust?
[19:03] ---
    I see…
[19:05] ---
    You were the shinobi
    who manipulated Gold Dust
[19:07] ---
    with the Magnet Style…
[19:17] ---
    It stopped.
[19:19] ---
    Gold Dust is heavier than sand…
[19:21] ---
    If I mix Gold Dust into
    the sand, I can slow it down.
[19:26] ---
    I'm impressed that you knew
    how to counter it.
[19:31] ---
    When Shukaku the One Tail
    would go on a rampage,
[19:33] ---
    I'd stop his sand like this.
[19:45] ---
    It's not Shukaku…but Gaara?!
[19:57] ---
    From above…
[20:02] ---
    You've aged, Ohnoki!
[20:05] ---
    Do you owe your long life
    to the Particle Style?
[20:08] ---
    – Particle Style!
    – Particle Style!
[20:09] ---
    – Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
    – Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
[20:20] ---
    My predecessor's Particle Style…
    is as powerful as ever.
[20:26] ---
    The sand is even more powerful
    than before…
[20:35] ---
    Wait for the signal.
[20:36] ---
    Particle Style…
[20:38] ---
    Don't tell me that's
    your former pupil, the brat Ohnoki?
[20:42] ---
    Now I really feel like
    I traveled through time!
[20:45] ---
