[00:01] ---
    Red vapor…
[00:03] ---
    The unique vapor of blood
[00:05] ---
    from the opening of
    all eight gates.
[00:08] ---
    But actually seeing it
    with my own eyes,
[00:12] ---
    it's almost like the color of
    dead autumn leaves
[00:14] ---
    that have fallen off their tree.
[00:17] ---
    You're right.
[00:19] ---
    But they're not falling
    without reason or purpose.
[00:24] ---
    They become the nutrients…
[00:26] ---
    for fresh green leaves!
[00:29] ---
    And the period they bridge,
[00:31] ---
    until the new spring when
    fresh leaves bud…
[00:33] ---
    is the climax of youth!
[00:35] ---
    When it burns most crimson!
[02:08] ---
    The Eight Inner Gates Formation
    
    
[02:14] ---
    First Step!
[02:30] ---
    Go for it, Guy Sensei!
[02:33] ---
    I can…
[02:34] ---
    no longer…
[02:49] ---
    Guy, is that your—?!
[02:52] ---
    That is Sensei's Sekizo,
    the Evening Elephant!
[02:56] ---
    Second Step!
[03:02] ---
    He stopped midway?!
[03:04] ---
    The Evening Elephant is supposed
    to be a continuous attack
[03:06] ---
    that can be shifted up in speed
    from one to five times…
[03:11] ---
    I see, what unbelievable pain.
[03:14] ---
    But I've acclimated.
[03:16] ---
    Next time, I can keep it going without
    giving him any openings.
[03:20] ---
    Great stress is placed on
    the body even through
[03:22] ---
    the Fifth Gate, the Gate of Closing…
[03:25] ---
    I bet the Gate of Death's
    level of pain
[03:27] ---
    is something that exceeds
    my imagination!
[03:39] ---
    A taijutsu move that bombards
    with blows of punched air…
[03:43] ---
    An air cannon, so to speak…
[03:51] ---
    Taking four or five of those
    would be bad.
[03:55] ---
    I should definitely avoid getting hit
    by the fists creating them too.
[04:09] ---
    Did he succeed?!
[04:16] ---
    One rarely gets to fight
    the Eight Inner Gates Formation!
[04:19] ---
    I'm game! I'll play with you!
[04:24] ---
    I figured as much…
    He didn't bring him down yet.
[04:27] ---
    What has Might Guy done?
[04:29] ---
    The Eight Inner Gates Formation…
[04:31] ---
    A technique that allows one to
    draw out their maximum power
[04:34] ---
    by releasing the limiters
    placed on it.
[04:37] ---
    It's the final stage of the jutsu
    Lee used against you
[04:40] ---
    in the Chunin Exams long ago.
[04:43] ---
    Releasing all eight limiters results
    in power tens of times greater
[04:47] ---
    than that of the Five Kage.
[04:49] ---
    But it's only temporary.
[04:52] ---
    After using this technique,
    the user will…
[04:56] ---
    inevitably die.
[05:03] ---
    He's coming towards me
    by kicking air!
[05:16] ---
    He is…
[05:17] ---
    my precious student whom I love.
[05:25] ---
    Lee, are you—?
[05:27] ---
    I am not sad!
[05:31] ---
    Showing any pity or sorrow
    to someone
[05:34] ---
    who has resolved himself
    would be an insult!
[05:43] ---
    We must assist Guy.
[05:45] ---
    Listen up.
[05:48] ---
    Sensei…
[05:49] ---
    Those black weapons of his
    are troublesome…
[05:52] ---
    They're not the activating-from
    -nothing type,
[05:54] ---
    but an always-on-standby
    type that undergo Change in Form.
[05:57] ---
    Their impact points disappear,
[05:59] ---
    but there is clear sensation
    if they make contact with you.
[06:03] ---
    Also, he can only send them
    about 70 meters out.
[06:06] ---
    Any further than that,
    and he'll lose control over them.
[06:11] ---
    Since they actually exist and
    can be seen with the eye,
[06:14] ---
    your Kamui should work on them.
[06:17] ---
    By sending them away,
[06:19] ---
    we can prevent Madara from
    controlling them.
[06:22] ---
    To be honest, I'm beginning
    to lose sight in my left eye.
[06:26] ---
    I'll have to get pretty close to
    target my Kamui accurately.
[06:31] ---
    Gaara, can you prepare some sand?
[06:34] ---
    You want me to transport Kakashi
    with my sand, right?
[06:37] ---
    But my sand isn't fast enough
    to avoid his attacks.
[06:41] ---
    Don't worry.
[06:42] ---
    That's where I come in.
[06:44] ---
    I'll have Kakashi carry
    one of my kunai.
[06:46] ---
    Eight Inner Gates:
    The Six Gate of Joy!
[06:49] ---
    Open!
[06:54] ---
    Lee!
[06:55] ---
    You've mastered
    the Eight Inner Gates too?!
[06:57] ---
    I can only open up to
    the Sixth Gate…
[07:00] ---
    I've never cursed my own lack
    of power as I do now!
[07:06] ---
    No… That's enough, Lee.
[07:10] ---
    Because you're still…
[07:13] ---
    …a fresh new leaf Guy wants
    to risk his life to protect!
[07:25] ---
    Lee, I want you to stay here
    to support and guard Gaara.
[07:29] ---
    And one more thing…
    Take one of my kunai.
[07:40] ---
    First Step!
[07:41] ---
    He is fast!
[07:47] ---
    Second Step!
[07:50] ---
    Third Step!
[07:52] ---
    Fourth Step!
[07:56] ---
    I can't move!
[07:58] ---
    Fifth Step!
[08:00] ---
    Just keep forging on, Guy!
    No matter what!
[08:02] ---
    Here he comes!
[08:11] ---
    Great timing, Lee!
[08:19] ---
    Kamui!
[09:14] ---
    You're the first since Hashirama
    to make me feel this excited!
[09:18] ---
    Can you still dance?
[09:20] ---
    Do you have any
    other techniques?
[09:23] ---
    Give me some more fun!
[09:25] ---
    He got up from a barrage of Sekizo?
[09:58] ---
    Where am I?
[10:00] ---
    Did I die?
[10:04] ---
    What makes thee think
    that thou art dead?
[10:08] ---
    Thine ethical viewpoint
    on death differs much
[10:11] ---
    from that which prevailed
    in my time…
[10:14] ---
    To so easily replace oneself
    with the term "death"…
[10:18] ---
    Thou must gain mettle,
    oh fledgling.
[10:22] ---
    Who are you?
[10:24] ---
    'Tis quite a precise query
    for this place, but…
[10:27] ---
    I am quite uneasy over
    whether thou shalt be able
[10:30] ---
    to connect my name with
    my actions as a herald…
[10:37] ---
    I am he who shall achieve
    peace and order…
[10:40] ---
    My name is Hagoromo.
[10:49] ---
    On the other hand…
[10:51] ---
    I had foreseen
[10:52] ---
    that thou wouldst end up
    in such a state as that.
[10:57] ---
    Uh…I don't understand
    what the hell he's saying.
[11:00] ---
    He seems to be one of
    those annoying geezers!
[11:06] ---
    Hey, gramps, sorry.
    But, I…
[11:09] ---
    Now then…
[11:10] ---
    Hey! Those eyes!
[11:12] ---
    Rinnegan!
[11:14] ---
    Thou dost appear to
    possess observant eyes.
[11:17] ---
    All that remains is for thee
[11:20] ---
    to pragmatically comprehend
    thy circumstances.
[11:23] ---
    Thou hast not died yet…
[11:25] ---
    This place is thine inner mind.
[11:28] ---
    I understand thine haste,
[11:29] ---
    – This geezer's not an enemy?
    – but at this moment,
[11:31] ---
    – This geezer's not an enemy?
    – rushing will accomplish naught.
[11:33] ---
    But…
[11:34] ---
    Can't you speak a little more smoothly,
    using easy, normal words?
[11:39] ---
    I am an anachronism.
[11:42] ---
    Over the passage of much time,
[11:44] ---
    cultural traditions and
    notions, and ethics
[11:47] ---
    have brought about
    significant change.
[11:51] ---
    Each occurrence where I cross
    time and meet a reincarnate,
[11:55] ---
    I have come to sense
    greatly the differences
[11:57] ---
    between the other and myself…
[11:59] ---
    I was also able to
    formalistically regulate and
[12:03] ---
    learn new mores and words, however…
[12:05] ---
    Shut up already!
[12:07] ---
    I don't have the time
    to be sitting around
[12:09] ---
    and listening to
    some weird geezer!
[12:11] ---
    Not just searching for words…
[12:13] ---
    But there is ambiguity
    in scholarship.
[12:17] ---
    If communication of wills
    cannot be achieved
[12:19] ---
    in addition to difficulty of definition…
[12:22] ---
    I see that I must speak simply…
[12:25] ---
    taking into account current idealistic
    and materialistic thinking.
[12:29] ---
    Are you an alien or something?
[12:32] ---
    I mean, you seem
    super dignified, but…
[12:37] ---
    Uh, that's a bit much, doncha think?
[12:39] ---
    An alien? Seriously?
[12:45] ---
    Well, maybe that ain't too far off.
    So anyway…
[12:53] ---
    Do you still fail to understand me?
[12:55] ---
    To think that conversation would
    pose such a complex challenge…
[12:58] ---
    No! Keep talking like just now.
    I finally get you!
[13:02] ---
    I was just shocked because
[13:04] ---
    your speaking style
    changed so drastically, ya know?
[13:07] ---
    Oh, for real?
[13:09] ---
    Then I'll keep going like this.
    Much pleased!
[13:16] ---
    Uh, yeah.
[13:17] ---
    Oh but, those words don't match up
    with your face at all,
[13:20] ---
    so it's kind of super-scary…
[13:22] ---
    And he loses all dignity too.
[13:25] ---
    You should be just a bit more formal.
[13:29] ---
    Otherwise, you come off
    kind of dumb.
[13:31] ---
    Now you're going too far, no?
[13:33] ---
    What do you mean by dumb?!
[13:35] ---
    Well, considering how
    I was talking before,
[13:37] ---
    I guess I can't blame you for that.
[13:40] ---
    So how's this then?
[13:43] ---
    That's it! All right!
    That's perfect!
[13:46] ---
    Indeed. I'm getting
    the hang of it too.
[13:49] ---
    Finally, I can talk with you.
[13:52] ---
    So anyway, gramps, who are you?
[13:55] ---
    If you know a lot about this place,
[13:56] ---
    tell me how to
    get out of here!
[13:59] ---
    Don't ask so many questions
    all at once!
[14:02] ---
    I am a person of the past,
    someone long dead.
[14:05] ---
    A monk who wanders through
    this world as chakra,
[14:08] ---
    crossing generations, ascertaining
    the course of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
[14:13] ---
    My name is Hagoromo,
    the founder of the Ninja Creed.
[14:16] ---
    I'm also known as
    the Sage of Six Paths.
[14:19] ---
    What?! The Sage of Six Paths?!
[14:21] ---
    The sage from the legends that
    Pervy Sage and Nagato talked about?
[14:26] ---
    Oh, so you know about me?
[14:28] ---
    Of course I do!
[14:30] ---
    You're the one who
    created ninjutsu, right?
[14:33] ---
    Not ninjutsu…
    Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
[14:35] ---
    My Ninja Creed was something
    meant to birth hope.
[14:39] ---
    Do not confuse it with ninjutsu
    which breeds conflict!
[14:43] ---
    In any case, if you're the sage,
[14:46] ---
    I've got tons of things
    I wanna ask you.
[14:48] ---
    But first, right now…
[15:02] ---
    You are my son Ashura's…
[15:09] ---
    Anyway, the conditions are
    all in place now.
[15:13] ---
    There are things I must
    entrust you with.
[15:18] ---
    Ashu…ra? Entrust?
[15:20] ---
    Quit talking gibberish and
    let me out of here!
[15:25] ---
    Forgive me... That is something I have
    no influence over.
[15:29] ---
    That depends on the actions
    of those outside.
[15:33] ---
    I can only relay things to you.
[15:35] ---
    I'm not getting what
    you're saying again!
[15:39] ---
    It means right now,
[15:40] ---
    trying to rush won't make
    any difference.
[15:45] ---
    So I want you to listen for a bit…
[15:46] ---
    No, you must listen…
[15:50] ---
    First, about my mother and sons.
[16:00] ---
    My mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki,
[16:04] ---
    came to this land of yours
    from a faraway place.
[16:07] ---
    She came in search of
    the fruit of the Divine Tree.
[16:10] ---
    The chakra fruit of
    that same Divine Tree,
[16:14] ---
    that you have seen in this war.
[16:18] ---
    Kaguya consumed
    the fruit, attained power,
[16:20] ---
    and subdued this land.
[16:23] ---
    Where'd Kaguya come from?
[16:25] ---
    Is she stronger than you,
    Sage of Six Paths?
[16:27] ---
    I guess all moms are scary
    when they're mad, huh?
[16:31] ---
    It matters not where
    she came from.
[16:34] ---
    Mother was powerful…
    More powerful than any other.
[16:39] ---
    Some called my mother
    the Rabbit Goddess
[16:41] ---
    and others considered her
    a demon…
[16:42] ---
    They both worshipped her
    and feared her.
[16:46] ---
    Later, Kaguya would birth two sons.
[16:49] ---
    I was one of them.
[16:52] ---
    We brothers, to atone for
    the crimes mother left behind,
[16:56] ---
    battled Ten Tails, an incarnation
    of the Divine Tree,
[16:59] ---
    and sealed it inside me.
[17:02] ---
    The Divine Tree,
    robbed of its Chakra Fruit,
[17:05] ---
    went on a rampage in
    an attempt to recover it.
[17:09] ---
    Much, much later,
    I had two sons of my own.
[17:14] ---
    I named the elder, Indra,
    and the younger, Ashura,
[17:17] ---
    and I taught them
    the Ninja Creed.
[17:21] ---
    But there was a huge difference
    between the two.
[17:25] ---
    One possessed genes containing
    my powerful chakra
[17:27] ---
    and the other did not.
[17:30] ---
    And this difference manifested
    itself in an extreme manner.
[17:33] ---
    It's getting complicated again,
    ya know?
[17:37] ---
    What does this all mean?
[17:38] ---
    In short…
[17:40] ---
    There was the exceptional
    older brother, Indra…
[17:42] ---
    and the dunce
    younger brother, Ashura.
[17:45] ---
    A dunce, huh?
[17:48] ---
    Even though his dad's
    the Sage of Six Paths?
[17:52] ---
    Perhaps there's no need
    to say this to you, but…
[17:55] ---
    No matter how exceptional
    both parents may be,
[17:58] ---
    there's no guarantee one will
    inherit outright either of their abilities.
[18:02] ---
    Sound familiar?
[18:04] ---
    Just as it seems to have been
    in your case, Naruto.
[18:11] ---
    For some reason,
    I understand that completely.
[18:16] ---
    And you are truly similar
    to Ashura, in your actions as well.
[18:21] ---
    Huh? My actions?
[18:25] ---
    Indra and Ashura walked
    different paths in life.
[18:28] ---
    Elder brother, Indra, possessed
    strong Visual Prowess
[18:32] ---
    and senses from birth,
    and was called a genius.
[18:35] ---
    He always did everything alone,
    leaning only on his own strength
[18:40] ---
    and came to understand that his powers
    were different and special.
[18:43] ---
    He perceived that power could
    achieve everything.
[18:47] ---
    On the other hand, nothing ever went well
    for the younger brother, Ashura,
[18:50] ---
    from the time he was young.
[18:52] ---
    And he couldn't do anything
    on his own.
[18:55] ---
    In order to attain the same power
    as his older brother,
[18:57] ---
    he needed the cooperation of others
    in addition to his own effort.
[19:03] ---
    While struggling through training,
[19:05] ---
    the power of bodily chakra awakened
    within Ashura
[19:08] ---
    and he attained power
    rivaling his brother's.
[19:10] ---
    He came to understand that
    he was able to become strong,
[19:13] ---
    thanks to the cooperation and
    help of those around him.
[19:19] ---
    He learned of the love for others that
    arises from thinking about others…
[19:24] ---
    And perceived that it was love
    that can achieve everything.
[19:30] ---
    In the way that the younger one
    chose to live his life…
[19:34] ---
    I thought I caught a glimpse
    of new possibilities.
[19:38] ---
    I partitioned the power of
    the Ten Tails inside of me,
[19:41] ---
    and named each of the pieces…
[19:43] ---
    And believed that the bond known
    as "cooperation" was true power.
[19:52] ---
    I then named
    the younger brother, Ashura,
[19:55] ---
    the leader and guardian
    of the Ninja Creed,
[19:59] ---
    believing that his elder brother, Indra,
    would cooperate with his younger brother.
[20:04] ---
    However…
[20:09] ---
    Indra did not accept my decision.
[20:13] ---
    And thus from that day on,
[20:16] ---
    …interminable conflict began.
[20:23] ---
    Even after their flesh perished,
    the chakra the two honed
[20:28] ---
    continued to reincarnate across time,
[20:31] ---
    without vanishing…
    over and over.
[20:34] ---
    It kind of sounds like being
    haunted by a ghost. It's creepy.
[20:37] ---
    So, is it still possessing
    someone even know?
[20:42] ---
    It's you, Naruto.
[20:46] ---
    The younger brother Ashura has
    reincarnated as you.
[22:37] ---
    If all chakra were to
    be reunited into one again,
    
    
[22:40] ---
    a new Chakra Fruit
    would take shape.
    
    
[22:43] ---
    That must be prevented
    at all costs,
    
    
[22:45] ---
    or this world would come
    to an end.
    
    
[22:47] ---
    I would like you to stop Madara.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    In your unpredictability,
    I feel the possibility exists.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Sage of Six Paths."
    
    
[23:00] ---
    Thanks for believing in us.
    
    
[23:02] ---
    THE SAGE OF THE SIX PATHS
    
    
[23:04] ---
    Tune in again!
