**[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!
