[00:03] ---
    Who are you aiming at?
[00:11] ---
    You're too fast for our attacks!
[00:16] ---
    I'll say it again.
[00:17] ---
    I am a Lightning Style User.
[00:19] ---
    When I arm myself with
    the Lightning Style,
[00:21] ---
    my speed and defensive power exceed
    the normal limits of my body.
[00:26] ---
    Unless you attack with
    the Wind Style,
[00:29] ---
    you will never be able
    to take me down.
[00:31] ---
    The trouble is,
    we can't land a blow even with that!
[00:34] ---
    No, wait…
[00:37] ---
    Wind Style Unit!
    Attack Formation C!
[00:40] ---
    Right!
[00:40] ---
    Here we go!
[00:41] ---
    Humph! Instead of doing it quietly,
[00:44] ---
    she announces how
    they're going to attack.
[00:46] ---
    Group Wind Style Jutsu!
[00:50] ---
    Wind Style: Casting Net!
[00:56] ---
    A wide-range jutsu
    to overtake my speed…
[01:03] ---
    Splendid!
[01:07] ---
    All right! We'll surround him
    all at once!
[03:08] ---
    Paradox
    
    
[03:19] ---
    No matter how many times
    we attack, there's no effect!
[03:21] ---
    We haven't inflicted any damage!
[03:35] ---
    Our only choice is to batter him
    with consecutive top-speed Blade Dance!
[03:48] ---
    Is that you, Dodai?
[03:50] ---
    Yes.
[03:54] ---
    The Third Lord Raikage was a shinobi
[03:56] ---
    blessed not only with
    strength and speed,
[03:58] ---
    but also with extraordinary
    physical resilience.
[04:02] ---
    Even long-distance Wind Style attacks,
    which should reach him,
[04:06] ---
    do not affect him.
[04:08] ---
    We need an even more
    powerful Wind Style User.
[04:11] ---
    I'm a pretty good
    Wind Style User myself.
[04:15] ---
    So how did he actually die?
[04:21] ---
    In order to save his comrades…
[04:23] ---
    He used himself as a decoy
    and faced 10,000 enemy troops alone.
[04:28] ---
    It's said he stood for three days
    and three nights
[04:31] ---
    in order to buy enough time to
    let his comrades escape.
[04:39] ---
    I need this one to
    buy me some time…
[04:42] ---
    while I finish summoning him.
[04:45] ---
    Guess I'll just have to take over.
[04:49] ---
    Honestly, among the Allied Forces,
[04:51] ---
    there isn't a stronger
    Wind Style User than me.
[04:53] ---
    There is!
[05:01] ---
    It's me!
[05:09] ---
    What?! Is that Naruto?!
    What is he doing here?
[05:15] ---
    That feels like Wind Style!
    Is it a new Rasengan?
[05:19] ---
    With this jutsu,
    it just might work if it hits!
[05:30] ---
    No! That's not good enough!
[05:32] ---
    Not with his Cloak of Lightning…
[05:33] ---
    I know! Raikage are
    always super fast!
[05:41] ---
    That's what he was aiming for!
[05:51] ---
    It's no use!
    He dodged it again!
[05:53] ---
    We have to distract him,
    or it won't hit him!
[05:59] ---
    Okay! When it comes back…
[06:04] ---
    At this distance…
[06:06] ---
    It's gonna hit!
[06:19] ---
    That Wind Style is strong!
[06:22] ---
    This will work…
[06:23] ---
    Now, Sealing Corps! Hurry!
[06:26] ---
    Right!
[06:30] ---
    All right!
[06:36] ---
    W-What?!
[06:44] ---
    Third Raikage…
[06:45] ---
    You are so strong,
    it's frightening…
[06:56] ---
    I don't believe it.
[06:57] ---
    Rasen Shuriken didn't work?!
[07:03] ---
    The look in Lord Raikage's eyes
    has changed…
[07:06] ---
    He's been completely taken over.
[07:13] ---
    That's…?!
[07:15] ---
    Everyone, get away from
    the Third Raikage!
[07:17] ---
    Earth Style Shinobi,
    form a wall immediately!
[07:21] ---
    Everyone, link up!
[07:22] ---
    – Right!
    – Right!
[07:24] ---
    – Earth Style: Great Mud Wall!
    – Earth Style: Great Mud Wall!
[07:39] ---
    Disperse!
[07:41] ---
    Come with me, Naruto!
[07:52] ---
    Lava Style: Rubber Wall!
[07:57] ---
    What the—?!
[07:58] ---
    That was the Third Raikage's
    most lethal ninjutsu…
[08:00] ---
    The Piercing Four-Fingered
    Thrust of Hell!
[08:03] ---
    He accumulates Lightning Chakra
    in his fingertip and strikes…
[08:06] ---
    This thrust technique complements
    the Lightning Style.
[08:09] ---
    Just like Kakashi Sensei's Lightning Blade
    and Sasuke's Chidori.
[08:19] ---
    Everyone, get as far away
    as possible, now!
[08:22] ---
    No! If we know where he'll appear,
    we should aim for that spot all together!
[08:27] ---
    Everyone, stand by!
[08:29] ---
    It's payback time for all
    the times we missed!
[08:33] ---
    Stop! Listen to the Cloud Shinobi!
[08:42] ---
    Get him!
[08:52] ---
    Damn it!
[08:56] ---
    Fools!
[09:09] ---
    He's switched to
    the Three-Fingered Assault!
[09:11] ---
    What kind of jutsu is it anyway?
[09:14] ---
    It's way too powerful!
[09:16] ---
    He took dozens down in
    an instant, all by himself!
[09:19] ---
    The fewer the fingers he uses,
    the more focused the energy and
[09:22] ---
    the more powerful the Thrusts of Hell!
[09:24] ---
    It's the Third's Invincible Spear!
[09:27] ---
    And he can handle it with
    his impermeable body.
[09:30] ---
    It's his ultimate shield!
[09:33] ---
    Is that old man even human…?
[09:36] ---
    They say he is the only shinobi
    to have ever been able
[09:38] ---
    to go head to head with a Tailed Beast,
    unarmored and unarmed!
[09:41] ---
    No way!
[09:44] ---
    Raikage are amazing!
[09:50] ---
    Huh?
[09:52] ---
    What's the matter?
[09:53] ---
    So what's up with that?
[09:56] ---
    With what?
[09:57] ---
    Look at that…
    The scar on his chest!
[10:01] ---
    If his body's the ultimate shield,
    how'd he get that?
[10:08] ---
    He didn't even flinch against
    my Rasen Shuriken!
[10:11] ---
    Oh, that…
[10:13] ---
    Once, the Third Raikage helped everyone
    get away from the Eight Tails
[10:17] ---
    by stopping its rampage
    all by himself.
[10:20] ---
    Then the Eight Tails hurt him?
[10:23] ---
    He called that the most
    shameful incident of his life.
[10:27] ---
    One that he never spoke about…
[10:32] ---
    Not even the Fourth Raikage knows.
[10:34] ---
    Okay, I get that ordinary attacks
    won't hurt him.
[10:39] ---
    But if he got hurt fighting
    the Eight Tails,
[10:42] ---
    then the Eight Tails' strongest jutsu is…
[10:47] ---
    Speaking of the Eight Tails…!
[10:49] ---
    Tailed Beast Bomb!
[11:19] ---
    What'll we do, Lady Temari?!
[11:21] ---
    Even that hero, Naruto, couldn't
    take him down…
[11:24] ---
    Huh?! Naruto?
[11:26] ---
    You mean the hero of
    the Hidden Leaf?
[11:28] ---
    Where? Where?
    Which one is he?
[11:31] ---
    Where were you looking, Yukata?!
[11:33] ---
    He's the one who just released
    that flashy Wind Style Jutsu!
[11:37] ---
    Huh?!
[11:38] ---
    But that guy's about
    the same age as us!
[11:42] ---
    Yes! At his age, he managed
    to defeat Pain of the Akatsuki!
[11:47] ---
    So how can we beat an enemy that
    even the hero of the Hidden Leaf can't?
[11:52] ---
    That's what I'm trying to
    figure out right now!
[11:55] ---
    You two can't use
    long-distance Wind Style!
[11:58] ---
    So go away, it's dangerous!
[12:00] ---
    – R-Right!
    – R-Right!
[12:05] ---
    So what'll we do?
[12:07] ---
    Even Naruto's Rasengan couldn't
    inflict serious damage.
[12:11] ---
    How do we fight the Raikage?
[12:14] ---
    We have to consider retreating.
[12:16] ---
    What a nuisance these Kage are…
    even one who's by himself.
[12:19] ---
    This is the ideal time since
    they're separated.
[12:22] ---
    If we retreat and allow him to join up
    with the other Kage, it will get worse.
[12:29] ---
    What to do? What to do?
[12:32] ---
    W-What's this I'm feeling?
[12:34] ---
    Is Naruto trying another jutsu
    or something?
[12:42] ---
    Th-This is the Tailed Beast Bomb…
    The same as the Eight Tails'!
[12:45] ---
    He's holding a mass of chakra
    this heavy in his human form?!
[12:49] ---
    Is this even possible?
[13:10] ---
    I figured it was impossible.
[13:13] ---
    What?! What happened?!
[13:16] ---
    Damn it!
[13:18] ---
    It still didn't work!
[13:20] ---
    His cloak of chakra is gone.
[13:22] ---
    He overdid it…
[13:24] ---
    Lady Temari!
[13:25] ---
    The enemy has broken through
    our ranks! Many are hurt!
[13:28] ---
    Everyone, hurry and gather the wounded!
[13:31] ---
    Notify the Medical Team!
[13:32] ---
    Tell all to maintain
    a standby position at a distance—!
[13:41] ---
    Are you all right?!
[13:42] ---
    Hey, hang on!
[13:43] ---
    Hey, Bendy Guy!
[13:45] ---
    I need to get a hold of Octopops
    and Eight Tails right away!
[13:48] ---
    How do I reach them?!
[13:50] ---
    Go through the Com Corps and
[13:52] ---
    have Intel Unit Captain Inoichi
    Yamanaka connect you with Bee.
[13:57] ---
    I just have to look for
    a Com Corps Shinobi, huh?
[14:00] ---
    You're in luck.
[14:01] ---
    Huh?!
[14:02] ---
    I'm with the Com Corps.
[14:05] ---
    All right!
[14:06] ---
    Naruto! Watch out!
[14:19] ---
    He's withdrawn
    his Three-Fingered Assault!
[14:20] ---
    He's aiming for a KO with a punch.
[14:27] ---
    Lava Style: Rubber Sphere!
[14:35] ---
    Lord Dodai of the Hidden Cloud!
    What do you need?
[14:38] ---
    Naruto needs to speak to
    Bee and Eight Tails.
[14:41] ---
    Please contact them immediately!
[14:44] ---
    While the Third Raikage is still chasing
    after the dummy Rubber Ball!
[14:49] ---
    He made it look like
    he had me inside that ball,
[14:52] ---
    but he pulled me out and
    hid me behind a boulder!
[14:55] ---
    Bendy Guy thinks fast!
[14:59] ---
    Thanks, Bendy Guy!
[15:00] ---
    Now I'll have time to talk
    to Octopops!
[15:09] ---
    He'll probably catch on right away!
[15:12] ---
    Remember, you don't have much time!
[15:14] ---
    Yeah!
[15:18] ---
    Naruto, you want to talk
    to Bee and Eight Tails,
[15:22] ---
    but aren't they nearby?
[15:24] ---
    You're supposed to
    be working together.
[15:26] ---
    They're not here now. Besides…
[15:29] ---
    Never mind, hurry and
    contact them please!
[15:33] ---
    There's no time!
[15:55] ---
    Naruto's gone on ahead!
[15:57] ---
    Hurry up and finish your business!
[15:59] ---
    How long is it going to take?!
[16:01] ---
    The urge to go pee is
    beyond one's control…y'see?
[16:06] ---
    Octopops, it's me, Naruto!
[16:09] ---
    I have to ask Eight Tails something!
[16:12] ---
    Put him on!
[16:14] ---
    Relieving oneself takes concentration.
    So let me focus on urination.
[16:19] ---
    I can't talk now…
[16:21] ---
    I'm here, Naruto! What's going on?
[16:24] ---
    You seem to be in a panic!
[16:26] ---
    Hey, Eight Tails…
[16:27] ---
    You've fought the Third Raikage
    before, right?
[16:31] ---
    Yeah, long ago.
[16:33] ---
    He was solid and
    could take the blows.
[16:37] ---
    Once, he used this move called
    the One-Fingered Assault
[16:40] ---
    and cut off all my tails.
[16:43] ---
    How did you manage to scar
    Gramps Raikage on the chest?
[16:47] ---
    Huh?!
[16:48] ---
    Maybe it was my Tailed Beast Bomb?
[16:51] ---
    No, maybe it wasn't…
[16:53] ---
    We were pushing against
    each other with all our might,
[16:56] ---
    and we both fell forward.
[16:58] ---
    I don't quite remember.
[17:23] ---
    Maybe…
[17:29] ---
    Hey thanks, Eight Tails!
[17:32] ---
    Shadow Clone Jutsu!
[17:34] ---
    What? Is this different
    from the one earlier?!
[17:38] ---
    Gramps Raikage is headed this way.
[17:41] ---
    When he gets here,
    get out of the way, Bendy Guy!
[17:43] ---
    There's something I want to try.
[17:48] ---
    Got it.
[17:56] ---
    Rasengan!
[18:00] ---
    Everyone! Do not assist!
[18:03] ---
    Sealing Corps! Stand by!
[18:05] ---
    Right!
[18:07] ---
    I don't know
    what he's planning,
[18:09] ---
    but that's just a Rasengan!
[18:11] ---
    Is that going to be enough?
[18:18] ---
    His Invincible Spear will cut
    through Naruto's arms and legs.
[18:22] ---
    I'll have him brought back
    to me half-dead.
[18:27] ---
    Sage Mode: Frog Kumite!
[18:29] ---
    With this, I can sense danger
    over a wider range, and it's faster!
[18:32] ---
    So I'll be able to counter
    at the last minute…
[18:40] ---
    And aim straight for his arm!
[19:04] ---
    Just like I thought!
[19:07] ---
    I see… That's how he got
    that scar on his chest!
[19:21] ---
    – We did it!
    – We did it!
[19:23] ---
    All right! Way to go, Naruto!
[19:26] ---
    Yes!
[19:28] ---
    That was sharp of you!
[19:30] ---
    Eight Tails told me that they were
    pushing as hard as they could,
[19:34] ---
    then fell forward.
[19:37] ---
    I figured that he must've fallen
    on his own hand.
[19:42] ---
    He injured himself.
    That's why it was so embarrassing.
[19:47] ---
    He was the shinobi with
    the ultimate spear and shield…
[19:51] ---
    What a paradox.
[19:54] ---
    Lord Third's spear was stronger,
    it seems…
[19:57] ---
    Yeah!
[20:03] ---
    Probably the shinobi with
    the greatest shield is Gaara!
[20:17] ---
    I always knew you'd be Tsuchikage.
[20:21] ---
    But look at you now…
    An old man riddled with back pain.
[20:26] ---
    I'll admit that was a punch
    with some power to it…
[20:29] ---
    but you overdid it and
    strained your back!
[20:31] ---
    Anyway! Hurry up and run!
[20:34] ---
    I'm about to use
    the Hozuki Clan's Water Gun Jutsu!
[22:37] ---
    You were cooperative
    until just now!
    
    
[22:40] ---
    What happened? Have you decided
    to side with the enemy?
    
    
[22:43] ---
    I am a former Kage, after all.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    I am helping you out…
    Just in a different way.
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Which is what exactly?
    
    
[22:51] ---
    If you can't win against me
    using all of your abilities,
    
    
[22:53] ---
    that means you're less
    than dead old me, you fool!
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Terror: The Steam Imp"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    How are you gonna win against
    the enemy boss like that?!
    
    TERROR: THE STEAM IMP
    
    
[23:03] ---
    TERROR: THE STEAM IMP
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
