*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!
