*Creeping Shadow*
**[01:38] ---**
Jiraiya Sensei…
**[01:39] ---**
What is it, Kakashi?
**[01:42] ---**
There's something I'd like to tell you.
**[01:44] ---**
Is it urgent? I'm kind of busy now.
**[01:50] ---**
There you go again,
sounding so dejected, Kakashi.
**[01:55] ---**
No matter how difficult something is,
**[01:56] ---**
when you make things seem
like such a drag,
**[01:59] ---**
you make the people
around you uncomfortable.
**[02:02] ---**
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
**[02:04] ---**
Wait, wait. You're here now. Speak.
**[02:09] ---**
But…
**[02:10] ---**
I don't want to interrupt
when you have important business…
**[02:13] ---**
SPECIAL SWIMSUIT EDITION
On second thought, there is nothing
more important than you.
**[02:18] ---**
I know you.
**[02:20] ---**
You haven't spoken to
anyone today, have you?
**[02:23] ---**
You know…
**[02:25] ---**
people should talk to others every day,
even if it's small talk.
**[02:29] ---**
Otherwise, their hearts will grow
dark and serious.
**[02:31] ---**
Talking to others builds bonds,
**[02:36] ---**
and makes you feel grateful
that you're alive.
**[02:39] ---**
That's the kind of creatures
we humans are.
**[02:44] ---**
So, what happened?
**[02:47] ---**
Well…
**[02:48] ---**
It's regarding the three children
**[02:51] ---**
from the Hidden Rain
you once taught, Jiraiya Sensei.
**[02:54] ---**
Oh, you mean Yahiko, Nagato
and Konan?
**[03:00] ---**
Yes.
**[03:02] ---**
Recently, they have been trying to bring
about change in Hidden Rain Village.
**[03:05] ---**
Or so I heard.
**[03:08] ---**
Without using military might,
but through dialogue.
**[03:12] ---**
Oh?
**[03:19] ---**
NAGATO YAHIKO
**[03:32] ---**
NAGATO YAHIKO KONAN
Those three, eh…
**[03:35] ---**
I see. So they've started walking
on their own feet.
**[03:39] ---**
How would you describe them?
**[03:45] ---**
*He's curious about strangers…*
*Now that's a good sign!*
**[03:50] ---**
Yahiko is passionate and
completely one-track minded.
**[03:58] ---**
*I want to become stronger!*
**[04:01] ---**
*And then…*
**[04:03] ---**
*And then,*
*I'm going to change the world!*
**[04:07] ---**
Konan is a girl who never
shows her emotions.
**[04:12] ---**
But she was pretty and very talented.
**[04:15] ---**
She must've grown into a beauty.
**[04:20] ---**
As for Nagato…
**[04:31] ---**
What happened?
**[04:33] ---**
He…
**[04:34] ---**
He's a remnant shinobi who told us
to hand over our food and valuables…
**[04:39] ---**
But then Nagato…
**[04:50] ---**
What is it, Nagato?
**[04:56] ---**
Jiraiya Sensei…
**[05:00] ---**
I'm…
**[05:02] ---**
I'm scared of myself.
**[05:04] ---**
What I did… Was it wrong?
**[05:08] ---**
I really don’t know…
if it was right or wrong.
**[05:13] ---**
But thanks to you,
Yahiko didn’t die.
**[05:17] ---**
You protected your friend.
**[05:19] ---**
That had to be the right thing to do.
**[05:23] ---**
No one can blame you for that.
**[05:27] ---**
When you are hurt,
you learn to hate.
**[05:29] ---**
On the other hand, when you hurt someone,
you are resented.
**[05:32] ---**
But you start to feel guilty as well.
**[05:35] ---**
Understanding such pain
enables you to be kind to others…
**[05:41] ---**
By understanding pain, humans grow.
**[05:45] ---**
By knowing pain, thinking about it
and figuring out what to do.
**[05:50] ---**
That is what growing up is all about.
**[05:56] ---**
I just want to protect those two.
**[06:00] ---**
No matter what kind of pain
I have to endure.
**[06:06] ---**
I see.
**[06:09] ---**
What are you always
thinking about, Sensei?
**[06:15] ---**
There is so much war in this world.
**[06:18] ---**
Only hatred exists.
**[06:20] ---**
I want to do something about it.
**[06:26] ---**
And to know what the answer
to true peace is…
**[06:36] ---**
Jiraiya Sensei…
**[06:37] ---**
Hmm? Oh…
**[06:39] ---**
What's wrong?
**[06:43] ---**
Nagato was a youth who could have been
the hero in my novels.
**[06:49] ---**
The hero in your novel?
**[06:51] ---**
As long as I'm alive,
there's a chance I'll see him…
**[06:57] ---**
Kakashi…
**[06:59] ---**
Hurry and become a man
who can be a hero in my novels.
**[07:11] ---**
Brother, we have a lot of requests.
**[07:14] ---**
I don't know if I can fulfill them all.
**[07:16] ---**
We'll do them all.
**[07:17] ---**
If there are people in need,
we'll save all of them.
**[07:20] ---**
That's the purpose of the Akatsuki.
**[07:23] ---**
At this rate, it would be great if we had
an organization as big as Hanzo's.
**[07:27] ---**
Hanzo is setting an example
for us shinobi
**[07:30] ---**
by fighting to bring peace to this world.
**[07:34] ---**
We will prove that the Akatsuki
can surpass him one day!
**[07:43] ---**
Akatsuki?
**[07:45] ---**
Yes… I'm hearing rumors
here and there lately.
**[07:48] ---**
Hmm… To think there are shinobi
like them in our village…
**[07:52] ---**
I approve of an organization that seeks to
resolve issues through pacifistic means.
**[07:56] ---**
It will help realize my dream of uniting
the Five Nations without force.
**[08:01] ---**
But they sure made
a sudden appearance.
**[08:04] ---**
Is there someone behind them?
**[08:06] ---**
According to rumors, they're pupils of
Jiraiya of Hidden Leaf Village.
**[08:10] ---**
Jiraiya? One of the Leaf's Sannin?
**[08:13] ---**
Yes. After he fought you, Master Hanzo,
**[08:17] ---**
Jiraiya stayed in this area for about three
years, teaching ninjutsu to war orphans.
**[08:28] ---**
So they are the apprentices of that brat!
**[08:32] ---**
The compassion to help people…
**[08:34] ---**
Akatsuki could just be the repayment of
a favor that's finally come around.
**[08:45] ---**
Say, Brother Yahiko…
**[08:47] ---**
Seems villages along the border
are being attacked lately.
**[08:51] ---**
What is that about?
**[08:52] ---**
It's hard to tell for sure since they're in
out of the way places with little contact.
**[08:57] ---**
But it seems the border
with the Land of Earth is pretty bad.
**[09:01] ---**
That's the Seventh Ward…
**[09:03] ---**
Shall we go and check, Nagato, Konan?
**[09:05] ---**
Yes.
**[09:06] ---**
Kyusuke, Daibutsu…
**[09:08] ---**
Keep an eye on things in our absence.
**[09:09] ---**
You got it.
**[09:11] ---**
Leave it to us, Brother!
**[09:18] ---**
How terrible…
**[09:20] ---**
Who would do such a thing?
**[09:22] ---**
This is far worse than anything
we've ever handled.
**[09:28] ---**
Who's there?! Come out!
**[09:38] ---**
Who are you guys?
**[09:40] ---**
Akatsuki.
**[09:42] ---**
Akatsuki?
**[09:44] ---**
You seem to be shinobi
from the Hidden Rain.
**[09:47] ---**
We are an organization working
to bring peace to this village.
**[09:51] ---**
We heard this area was under attack,
so we came to investigate.
**[09:54] ---**
Who did this?
**[09:56] ---**
– What do we do?
– Can we trust them?
**[09:59] ---**
The Hidden Stone.
**[10:00] ---**
The Hidden Stone?
**[10:01] ---**
No way!
**[10:02] ---**
I heard that the Stone and
the Leaf are negotiating a cease-fire.
**[10:07] ---**
How the hell should I know!
**[10:09] ---**
Look at this village!
**[10:11] ---**
The Hidden Stone ravaged
this entire area one after another!
**[10:14] ---**
What do you plan to do
with such weapons?
**[10:18] ---**
Fight! What else?
**[10:20] ---**
We've already formed an alliance!
**[10:23] ---**
Hold on! That will only cause
more casualties!
**[10:27] ---**
Then what are we supposed to do?
**[10:28] ---**
Are you telling us to sit here
and wait for our turn to die?!
**[10:32] ---**
We'll go talk about this
with the Hidden Stone.
**[10:35] ---**
What?
**[10:36] ---**
If we acknowledge their pain too,
then we can speak honestly.
**[10:40] ---**
They're sure to understand!
**[10:41] ---**
Enough with your ideals!
**[10:43] ---**
What about getting even
for our friends who were killed?!
**[10:48] ---**
Only by understanding the pain of others
and shedding tears like them
**[10:52] ---**
can we get close to the real world…
**[10:56] ---**
*Shedding tears with them?*
**[10:58] ---**
*So you mean revenge?*
**[11:01] ---**
*No, that's not what I meant.*
**[11:03] ---**
*I meant understanding each other.*
**[11:06] ---**
*Stop talking so idealistically.*
**[11:09] ---**
*There's no such thing in this world.*
**[11:12] ---**
What's going on?
**[11:14] ---**
If this goes on, the peace between
the Stone and Leaf will be shattered.
**[11:19] ---**
Maybe the Hidden Stone aren't unified.
**[11:22] ---**
Maybe the leaders are pursuing peace,
**[11:24] ---**
but the shinobi under them
don't want it.
**[11:27] ---**
It could also be the work
of Rogue Ninja.
**[11:31] ---**
Whatever the case, we must settle this
quickly with the Hidden Stone!
**[11:36] ---**
Scatter!
**[11:39] ---**
What?!
**[11:44] ---**
So many waiting to ambush us!
**[11:47] ---**
Wait!
**[11:49] ---**
You're Hidden Stone Shinobi, right?
**[11:51] ---**
We are the Akatsuki,
shinobi from the Hidden Rain!
**[11:54] ---**
We've come to talk!
**[11:58] ---**
Damn!
**[11:59] ---**
They refuse to talk!
**[12:01] ---**
What do we do, Yahiko?
**[12:02] ---**
Our goal is negotiation, at all cost!
**[12:06] ---**
Do not kill them!
**[12:15] ---**
*This can't be real!*
**[12:17] ---**
Yahiko!
**[12:23] ---**
Yahiko!
**[12:24] ---**
Konan!
**[12:52] ---**
*Who's there?!*
**[12:55] ---**
*Damn! The enemy?!*
**[12:57] ---**
*Run now!*
**[12:59] ---**
*Nagato, go!*
**[13:09] ---**
*Nagato… Hurry… Get away…*
**[13:16] ---**
*Run, Nagato!*
**[13:19] ---**
*Run away! Hurry!*
**[13:49] ---**
Nagato!
**[13:50] ---**
Stop, Nagato!
**[13:52] ---**
Stop!
**[13:53] ---**
Stop it, Nagato!
**[13:56] ---**
Yahiko…
**[14:02] ---**
We retreat for now!
**[14:12] ---**
So that was the power
of the Rinnegan…
**[14:15] ---**
Such a frightening power.
**[14:18] ---**
What should we do?
**[14:19] ---**
If the Akatsuki start moving,
**[14:22] ---**
our other teams disguised as shinobi
from the other side will be in danger.
**[14:25] ---**
For the future of the Hidden Leaf,
**[14:27] ---**
peace must not exist
with the Hidden Stone.
**[14:30] ---**
This strategy was precisely
to obstruct peace.
**[14:36] ---**
Perhaps we can use that power.
**[14:39] ---**
Collect all of the corpses here!
**[14:41] ---**
Get rid of any traces of the Hidden Leaf!
**[14:44] ---**
Sir!
**[14:48] ---**
Danzo, huh…
**[14:50] ---**
The Hidden Leaf is working
behind the scenes…
**[14:58] ---**
Nagato…
**[14:59] ---**
Yahiko… That jutsu that
Nagato used earlier…
**[15:03] ---**
It's probably a jutsu he can perform
because he has the Rinnegan.
**[15:06] ---**
That's…
**[15:08] ---**
Yeah, I felt it.
**[15:10] ---**
It was just like that time…
**[15:20] ---**
That intense desire to kill made
my hairs stand on end…
**[15:23] ---**
That power is not of this world.
**[15:26] ---**
We must not let Nagato use it!
**[15:28] ---**
If he does… I think it will kill him.
**[15:52] ---**
Konan, where's Yahiko?
**[15:55] ---**
He went to look for food.
**[15:57] ---**
Oh…
**[16:00] ---**
What's the matter?
**[16:03] ---**
I'm scared…of my power.
**[16:08] ---**
Nagato…
**[16:10] ---**
Before, I had Jiraiya Sensei.
**[16:14] ---**
I'm positive he taught me ninjutsu
so that I could control this power.
**[16:20] ---**
But Jiraiya Sensei is no longer here…
**[16:24] ---**
Yes, Jiraiya Sensei is gone…
**[16:28] ---**
But…
**[16:30] ---**
You have us.
**[16:32] ---**
We'll control your power.
**[16:35] ---**
For as long as it takes…
**[16:37] ---**
Konan…
**[16:56] ---**
Be careful, Yahiko.
**[16:59] ---**
You don't need to see me off!
**[17:01] ---**
See to Nagato's wound, will you?
**[17:05] ---**
From now on,
save your worrying for him.
**[17:09] ---**
Nagato is the keystone of the Akatsuki!
**[17:12] ---**
He's the one who will change
this nation…this world.
**[17:16] ---**
The same can be said of you…
**[17:18] ---**
Everyone respects and admires you.
**[17:22] ---**
Nagato is no different.
**[17:26] ---**
Nagato is going to be
the bridge to peace.
**[17:32] ---**
My role is to be a pillar
that supports that bridge.
**[17:38] ---**
Yahiko…
**[17:42] ---**
This nation continues to weep.
**[17:46] ---**
It continues to endure pain.
**[17:49] ---**
I used to hate this land that
cries all the time.
**[17:54] ---**
But now, I want to save it.
**[17:57] ---**
It's what I want with all my heart.
**[18:02] ---**
It reminds me of the crybaby
that I used to be and I can't ignore it.
**[18:07] ---**
Yahiko!
**[18:11] ---**
Be careful.
**[18:14] ---**
He is the bridge to peace.…
**[18:17] ---**
His will itself is the bridge.
**[18:21] ---**
Nagato…
**[18:23] ---**
We believe in Yahiko!
**[18:25] ---**
Let's go, everyone!
**[18:27] ---**
Right!
**[18:40] ---**
What made this happen?
**[18:45] ---**
It was too late when we found them.
**[18:48] ---**
We were on the way to a peace conference
with the Land of Earth…
**[18:51] ---**
We recognized them
as members of your clan, and…
**[18:56] ---**
Lord Danzo, did you see the perpetrators?
**[19:00] ---**
No doubt it was the Akatsuki.
**[19:03] ---**
Akatsuki?! But the Akatsuki is…
**[19:06] ---**
A group that expounds peace
**[19:08] ---**
and has been growing in influence
lately in this village.
**[19:11] ---**
Yes, I hear they are an organization
that shares my will!
**[19:16] ---**
So why…?
**[19:19] ---**
Hanzo, you left them on their own too long.
**[19:23] ---**
What?
**[19:25] ---**
It's fine to be idealistic.
**[19:28] ---**
However, therein lies your weakness.
**[19:31] ---**
My weakness?
**[19:34] ---**
Because of your high ideals,
**[19:37] ---**
you are blind to those
with similar motives.
**[19:40] ---**
But they became the enemy
and turned against you.
**[19:44] ---**
That is what caused this tragedy.
**[19:47] ---**
However noble your ideals,
not everyone will buy into them.
**[19:53] ---**
They may act like
they share your hopes,
**[19:56] ---**
but they're just a disorderly mob.
**[19:59] ---**
Ultimately, they'll be obsessed
by greed and power
**[20:01] ---**
turn into a cast of evil across the land.
**[20:04] ---**
Cast off the sheep's clothing
from the Akatsuki
**[20:06] ---**
and you'll find they're just wolves
out to take over the village too.
**[20:10] ---**
Lord Hanzo…
**[20:14] ---**
If nothing is done,
they will take over this village.
**[20:24] ---**
Danzo of the Hidden Leaf, huh?
**[20:26] ---**
An interesting person
has started taking action.
**[20:28] ---**
Just like Obito said,
the clouds are moving strangely.
**[20:33] ---**
There is no such thing as peace
in this world.
**[20:35] ---**
That is the reality.
**[20:37] ---**
Reality is like this grand river
that flows here.
**[20:41] ---**
No matter how hard one tries to stop it,
**[20:43] ---**
reality will swallow you up whole
and mercilessly crush you.
**[20:48] ---**
There is only way to escape that suffering.
**[20:54] ---**
That is the Infinite Tsukuyomi,
Project Tsuki no Me!
**[22:37] ---**
Nagato, reality is
moving ahead quickly.
**[22:41] ---**
Coordinate your actions with me.
**[22:43] ---**
What Yahiko talks about
are just ideals.
**[22:47] ---**
No matter what you say,
I believe in Yahiko's ideals!
**[22:50] ---**
Even though you possess the Rinnegan,
you still think like an average person.
**[22:56] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The New Akatsuki"
**[23:00] ---**
Very well…
Go see reality for yourself!
**[23:03] ---**
THE NEW AKATSUKI
**[23:05] ---**
Tune in again!
