[01:30] ---
    The Ties that Bind
    
    
    
[01:32] ---
    This is the Allied
    Shinobi Forces Jutsu!
[01:36] ---
    How pitiful.
[01:39] ---
    Yeah.
[01:41] ---
    This hope that they're all
    clinging to doesn't exist.
[01:45] ---
    Just like their very lives,
    at this point.
[01:51] ---
    It seems Ten Tails is ready.
[01:54] ---
    Fifth Gate of Closing! Open!
[01:57] ---
    So this time, they're coming
    after us, not Ten Tails...
[02:02] ---
    Well...
[02:03] ---
    Taking the enemy's brains
    is a fundamental strategy...
[02:07] ---
    I'll follow the strategy and...
[02:08] ---
    take down those two,
    who are the brains of the Ten Tails!
[02:12] ---
    For that to work...
[02:14] ---
    they would need to
    stop the Ten Tails first!
[02:23] ---
    What?! I thought we had immobilized
    the Ten Tails!
[02:27] ---
    Are you okay?! Damn it...
[02:49] ---
    My shoulder's dislocated...
[02:51] ---
    Look at the Sensing Water Sphere...
[02:53] ---
    It's practically like a small planet.
[02:56] ---
    But that's...impossible!
[02:59] ---
    So we didn't immobilize
    Ten Tails, after all?
[03:01] ---
    It merely stopped moving on its own
[03:03] ---
    in order to amass power
    and undergo transformation?
[03:05] ---
    How are we going to be able to stop it?
[03:07] ---
    And now we can't target those two either!
[03:10] ---
    But we have to stop that thing
    or else it's over for us.
[03:17] ---
    I'm about to pee myself...
[03:19] ---
    Instead of freaking out,
    infuse your chakra!
[03:22] ---
    Be ready to move as soon as
    we get the plan from HQ!
[03:26] ---
    We must immobilize Ten Tails...
[03:29] ---
    or else we can't go after
    the brains that are controlling it...
[03:34] ---
    But how?
[03:36] ---
    Even with the jutsu of my clan
    who specialize in immobilizing...
[03:39] ---
    the effect would be miniscule compared
    to the amount of chakra expended.
[03:44] ---
    Inoichi!
[03:45] ---
    Link me to Kakashi!
[03:47] ---
    Roger!
[03:48] ---
    Kakashi, it's me!
[03:51] ---
    There's something
    I want to confirm
[03:53] ---
    regarding the intel from
    the last battle sequence...
[03:59] ---
    It's going to start getting more difficult
    to control Ten Tails soon...
[04:03] ---
    Reinforce your bond with it
    using Hashirama's cells.
[04:07] ---
    Don't you want to check out
    Ten Tails' power in its current state?
[04:12] ---
    First, let's...
[04:14] ---
    Yes, let's show them...
[04:19] ---
    ...despair!
[04:28] ---
    Shikaku, I'm going to
    let you go for now!
[04:30] ---
    What's the matter?!
[04:31] ---
    This is...
[04:32] ---
    No way!
[04:35] ---
    Lord Shikaku! Lord Inoichi!
[04:38] ---
    My Kamui won't make it in time!
[04:41] ---
    Displace it upwards using
    an Earth Style technique.
[04:43] ---
    Right!
[04:57] ---
    That far away?
[04:59] ---
    It's so much greater than
    all the previous Tailed Beasts!
[05:02] ---
    What power!
[05:05] ---
    It's wobbly from just that little counter...
[05:07] ---
    Its control isn't perfect yet.
[05:09] ---
    Next!
[05:29] ---
    Unbelievable! Such a far-off city
    destroyed in an instant!
[05:38] ---
    It's been acting strange for a while,
    it seems to be aiming far away!
[05:42] ---
    So all the cities,
    and people are within its range of fire?
[05:46] ---
    Then that means
    the evacuated Feudal Lords,
[05:48] ---
    everyone protecting the villages...
[05:49] ---
    plus all the citizens of
    each nation aren't safe?
[05:52] ---
    Our shinobi on the battlefield are
    fighting to protect everyone else...
[05:58] ---
    Those two are trying to eliminate
    our reason for this war.
[06:10] ---
    That's the direction of--!
[06:14] ---
    Th-This is...
[06:15] ---
    What's wrong, Lord Ao?!
[06:19] ---
    Please listen to me calmly.
[06:27] ---
    Here, eh?
[06:30] ---
    Well, Shikaku... What do we do?
[06:32] ---
    Just keep doing what we must do.
[06:36] ---
    It will be our last act.
[06:37] ---
    Put me through to
    everyone on the battlefield.
[06:39] ---
    I have a plan to stop the Ten Tails!
[07:21] ---
    Finally got them.
[07:24] ---
    We've now smashed
    the brains of the Allied Forces.
[07:27] ---
    Like I said before,
    it's fundamental strategy.
[07:32] ---
    Shikamaru...
[07:34] ---
    We're in the middle of a war.
[07:36] ---
    Don't waste any words on me.
[07:39] ---
    Or on Ino.
[07:43] ---
    Like Dad said, we just have
    to do what we have to do.
[07:58] ---
    Wait... What exactly just happened?!
[08:02] ---
    You are the key to our plan.
[08:04] ---
    Not about that!
[08:05] ---
    I'm asking what happened to
    Shikaku and Inoichi?!
[08:14] ---
    Neji! Rotate clockwise!
[08:16] ---
    Got it!
[08:17] ---
    - Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
    - Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!
[08:19] ---
    A-Amazing...
[08:23] ---
    Don't just stand there
    spacing out, Naruto!
[08:25] ---
    This is a battlefield
    and we're in a war.
[08:28] ---
    People will die!
[08:30] ---
    But if we are defeated
    and lose this war...
[08:33] ---
    everyone will die!
[08:36] ---
    Of course I know that!
[08:39] ---
    Shikamaru and Ino's father
    would likely say, that as shinobi,
[08:42] ---
    they're glad to have died
    before their children.
[08:45] ---
    Just as my father did.
[08:50] ---
    Naruto, your power is critical
    to the plan.
[08:54] ---
    So until we execute it...
[08:56] ---
    We must protect you, Naruto!
[08:58] ---
    Hinata!
[09:00] ---
    Know this!
[09:02] ---
    The Hyuga are the mightiest
    among the Hidden Leaf!
[09:05] ---
    There he goes...
    I was hoping to take them down
[09:08] ---
    before they started
    with the speeches, but...
[09:10] ---
    It's hard to control Ten Tails well.
[09:14] ---
    This ought to do until
    the next transformation, but...
[09:18] ---
    Afterwards...
[09:19] ---
    I suspect only a Jinchuriki will
    be able to control it.
[09:25] ---
    Though for me to become
    the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki...
[09:28] ---
    I'll need to be fully alive,
[09:31] ---
    not hosted within a corpse
    as a Reanimation.
[09:35] ---
    Reanimations like you are perfect
    for large-scale suicidal attacks.
[09:38] ---
    But the reason
    you haven't launched
[09:40] ---
    the Ten Tails Tailed Beast Bomb
    at them, blowing yourself up as well,
[09:44] ---
    is because I'd get caught up
    in it and die too.
[09:48] ---
    And the reason that
    would be a problem,
[09:51] ---
    is because in order for you to
    truly be brought back to life
[09:54] ---
    and become a Jinchuriki...
[09:56] ---
    you need me to sacrifice myself
[09:58] ---
    and perform the Gedo Art of
    Rinne Rebirth on you.
[10:02] ---
    In short, you're in
    a delicate position right now
[10:05] ---
    where you're entirely at my mercy.
[10:09] ---
    Don't forget that.
[10:11] ---
    Well, well, that rug rat sure
    has become the wily fox.
[10:15] ---
    I never considered you a friend.
[10:20] ---
    Fine then.
[10:22] ---
    You decide our next move then.
[10:26] ---
    We continue.
[10:27] ---
    They will know despair...thoroughly.
[10:36] ---
    Wood Style!
[10:37] ---
    Cutting Sprigs!
[10:39] ---
    There's so many of them!
[10:40] ---
    Just try to evade them.
[10:41] ---
    My Mountain Jutsu should
    at least slow it down
[10:43] ---
    until Nine Tails' strength returns.
[10:46] ---
    Except I need some time
    to build up enough chakra!
[10:49] ---
    Hold on, everybody!
[10:51] ---
    Cha!
[10:54] ---
    So many!
[10:56] ---
    My Rotation can't keep up!
[11:02] ---
    Thanks, Neji!
[11:03] ---
    I can activate Sage Mode now!
[11:05] ---
    I can't keep relying on you geniuses!
[11:08] ---
    Now it's my turn!
[11:10] ---
    Rasen Shuriken!
[11:17] ---
    Here's a few more!
[11:30] ---
    Eight Trigrams: Air Wall Palm!
[11:36] ---
    Damn it! A focused attack!
[11:38] ---
    There's too many!
[11:39] ---
    Hinata and Neji's Air Palms
    won't be sufficient...
[11:41] ---
    Byakugan!
[11:55] ---
    Earth Style! Mountain Jutsu!
[12:00] ---
    Medical Team!
[12:02] ---
    Where are you?!
    There's a critical injury here!
[12:04] ---
    Hurry!
[12:08] ---
    No...
[12:10] ---
    I'm no longer...
[12:13] ---
    Neji...
[12:15] ---
    Brother...
[12:20] ---
    Naruto...
[12:24] ---
    Lady Hinata...
[12:26] ---
    is willing to die for you.
[12:31] ---
    So...you hold more...
[12:36] ---
    than one...life in your hands...
[12:43] ---
    And it seems...that my life too...
    may have been...
[12:50] ---
    one of them....
[12:54] ---
    Why? Why did you do this here?
[12:59] ---
    You were going to change
    the Hyuga!
[13:03] ---
    Long ago, those words of yours,
    freed me from the shackles of fate.
[13:14] ---
    Why would you go so far for me?
[13:18] ---
    Even give up your life...
[13:22] ---
    Because...you called me a genius...
[13:30] ---
    Unlike me, you're not a failure!
[13:36] ---
    Father...
[13:38] ---
    I finally understand...
    the freedom you felt...
[13:43] ---
    choosing to die in order
    to protect your comrades.
[13:55] ---
    Didn't you say you wouldn't
    let your friends die...?
[13:58] ---
    Naruto!
[14:07] ---
    I'll never let my comrades die!
[14:20] ---
    Those words...
    "I'll never let my comrades die."
[14:27] ---
    Now look around you...
    and say it again!
[14:45] ---
    I told you to say it again!
[14:50] ---
    As the bodies of your comrades
    grow cold in your arms...
[14:52] ---
    take in their deaths!
[14:58] ---
    Neji's...dead?!
[15:04] ---
    Hizashi, forgive me...
[15:07] ---
    I let Neji--!
[15:09] ---
    This will continue...
[15:12] ---
    And your flippant words and
    ideology shall become lies.
[15:17] ---
    This is the end result of
    hope and ideals.
[15:20] ---
    This is reality!
[15:23] ---
    Naruto...
[15:25] ---
    What is there for you in this reality?
[15:27] ---
    Your mother and father are gone,
    as well as your master, Jiraiya.
[15:30] ---
    And if you keep standing against us,
[15:33] ---
    you'll continue to lose
    your friends one by one.
[15:38] ---
    This shall become a world
[15:39] ---
    where no one who
    acknowledges you will exist.
[15:44] ---
    Obito...
[15:46] ---
    The only thing that awaits you...
[15:49] ---
    is your worst nightmare,
    which you know quite well!
[15:57] ---
    Solitude!
[16:06] ---
    You've become exactly
    like the old me, Obito.
[16:11] ---
    Naruto will give up shortly...
[16:13] ---
    Which will break the will
    of the Allied Forces.
[16:16] ---
    Why must you cling to reality?
[16:20] ---
    Enough of this...
    Now come join us, Naruto!
[16:37] ---
    Brother Neji just said,
[16:40] ---
    that you hold more than
    one life in your hands.
[16:43] ---
    Do you know what he meant?
[16:49] ---
    "I'll never let my comrades die."
[16:52] ---
    Neither those words nor
    the conviction behind them are lies!
[16:58] ---
    Because he was able to successfully
    store them in his heart,
[17:00] ---
    and live them out to until the end!
[17:02] ---
    Brother Neji did!
[17:07] ---
    It's not just you, Naruto...
[17:09] ---
    We all hold those words
    and feelings in our hearts.
[17:14] ---
    They're what bind our lives together...
[17:18] ---
    and make us comrades.
[17:22] ---
    If we all give up and
    discard those words and feelings,
[17:28] ---
    Neji's final act will have been
    for nothing.
[17:31] ---
    And that is when...
    your comrades truly die!
[17:36] ---
    For you are then
    no longer comrades.
[17:39] ---
    That's...how I feel.
[17:45] ---
    So, stand with me, Naruto.
[17:51] ---
    Because never going back
    on one's word...
[17:54] ---
    is my Ninja Way too!
[18:00] ---
    Naruto...
[18:01] ---
    Lady Hinata...
    is willing to die for you.
[18:07] ---
    So...you hold more...
[18:10] ---
    ...than one life!
[18:12] ---
    Don't forget about me!
[18:15] ---
    I know.
[18:16] ---
    I take my bonds seriously!
[18:17] ---
    I'd never abandon my comrades!
[18:20] ---
    But in reality, Neji is...
[18:23] ---
    Stop your rambling!
[18:26] ---
    I'll beat you up and take over
    your body for good this time!
[18:30] ---
    And did you also forget?
[18:32] ---
    Your mother and father did
    the same thing Neji did
[18:36] ---
    just after you were born.
[18:37] ---
    They sealed me,
    their archenemy inside you,
[18:40] ---
    and entrusted the future
    to you and died.
[18:44] ---
    Your life was already linked to
    two others from the time you were born!
[18:52] ---
    Will he just stand back and
    see how Naruto responds...?
[18:57] ---
    It seems Naruto makes him uneasy.
[19:01] ---
    Enough!
[19:05] ---
    Don't be hasty!
[19:06] ---
    You're going to harm yourself
    as well as Ten Tails!
[19:08] ---
    I don't care!
[19:10] ---
    Ten Tails hide is tough!
[19:15] ---
    They're going to hit us!
[19:17] ---
    Recharging completed!
[19:19] ---
    Be careful, Lord Bee!
[19:21] ---
    Go get 'em!
[19:28] ---
    Take this!
[19:45] ---
    Lord Bee!
[19:46] ---
    Don't go overboard!
[19:48] ---
    There's no need to worry...
[19:50] ---
    Protecting the Alliance is my territory!
[20:04] ---
    That's right.
[20:05] ---
    It wasn't just Mom and Dad.
[20:08] ---
    Yeah...
[20:10] ---
    It hasn't just been my life...
[20:14] ---
    up until now.
[20:25] ---
    Thanks, Hinata!
[20:29] ---
    It's all thanks to you
    standing by my side.
[20:34] ---
    And Neji...
[20:36] ---
    Thank you.
[20:46] ---
    Naruto's hand is so big...
[20:49] ---
    and strong, but most of all...
[20:55] ---
    Let's do this, Hinata!
[20:58] ---
    Yeah!
[21:01] ---
    It's comforting!
[22:38] ---
    I haven't been able to save
    many comrades...
    
    
    
    
    
    
[22:41] ---
    An existence where one can only
    await one's death inside a cage...
    
    
    
    
    
[22:44] ---
    It's a nice analogy.
    
    
    
    
    
[22:46] ---
    You're all exactly like that brat who
    just died a pointless death.
    
    
    
    
    
[22:50] ---
    Neji's will isn't dead yet!
    
    
    
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Those Who Dance in the Shadows."
    
    
    
    
    
[22:58] ---
    THOSE WHO DANCE IN THE SHADOWS
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
