[00:12] ---
    I will now name
    the successor to Ninshu.
[00:18] ---
    The one who shall take over
    Ninshu will be…
[00:25] ---
    Ashura!
[00:31] ---
    L-Lord Hagoromo!
[00:33] ---
    Why?!
[00:34] ---
    I have nowhere near the skills for
    Ninshu that Elder Brother has!
[00:36] ---
    The difference is immeasurable!
[00:37] ---
    I've made my decision.
[00:40] ---
    Please tell me why you were
    dissatisfied with me.
[00:45] ---
    I received word that the village
    I had left you in charge of
[00:48] ---
    is near destruction.
[00:51] ---
    What? How?!
[00:53] ---
    You didn't forcibly use
    the Divine Tree to…
[00:56] ---
    Do I look like a fool?
[01:01] ---
    Tell me what you did.
[01:03] ---
    I did the same thing Ashura did.
[01:06] ---
    I gave the people the water
    they desired…
[01:09] ---
    and dealt with the Divine Tree.
[01:11] ---
    The only difference was that…
[01:13] ---
    I did it alone.
[01:16] ---
    And that drastically affected the result.
[01:20] ---
    After you left,
[01:21] ---
    the villagers fought over water rights
    and ended up destroying themselves.
[01:26] ---
    Happiness obtained with
    the easy way never lasts long.
[01:31] ---
    But Ashura labored alongside
    the people to open up a path.
[01:35] ---
    Hard-earned happiness
    is difficult to destroy.
[01:42] ---
    Indra, you have a wonderful power
    known as the Sharingan.
[01:47] ---
    Ashura has matured,
    but still lacks in power.
[01:51] ---
    Lend him your power going forward
    and support the growth of Ninshu.
[02:15] ---
    Elder Brother…
[03:47] ---
    The Successor
    
    
[03:59] ---
    Why?
[04:01] ---
    Why didn't he choose me?
[04:04] ---
    Exactly!
[04:05] ---
    The one with power rules the world!
    That's just common sense!
[04:08] ---
    Indra has the power
    to decide everything!
[04:12] ---
    Let's appeal to
    Lord Hagoromo again.
[04:15] ---
    We'll support you!
[04:18] ---
    Thanks, both of you.
[04:21] ---
    No need for thanks.
    We just want to support you.
[04:25] ---
    Yes, just tell us anything
    that you want us to do!
[04:29] ---
    Really?
[04:36] ---
    This is amazing!
[04:39] ---
    I've never seen such a feast!
[04:41] ---
    Today is the auspicious day
    the successor of Ninshu was chosen!
[04:45] ---
    Everyone, eat and enjoy
    to your heart's content!
[04:49] ---
    Let's eat, everyone!
[05:01] ---
    I think we came at a bad time.
[05:05] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[05:09] ---
    To be honest, I'm relieved.
[05:12] ---
    That Ashura was chosen
    to be the successor.
[05:15] ---
    Ashura's big brother is smart
    and he's a genius with Ninshu,
[05:20] ---
    but there's a coldness to him.
[05:23] ---
    If he was named successor,
    I think we'd all be scared of him.
[05:29] ---
    I see.
[05:31] ---
    But Ashura understands a person's pain.
[05:35] ---
    He's a bit dense, but this last journey
    really matured him.
[05:40] ---
    Enough to make you
    fall in love with him
[05:42] ---
    and follow him all the way here.
[05:43] ---
    W-What're you saying?!
[05:45] ---
    You're blushing.
[05:47] ---
    You idiot!
[05:48] ---
    Ouch!
[05:50] ---
    Really…
[05:52] ---
    Hey, where is Ashura anyway?
[06:08] ---
    Ashura…
[06:13] ---
    You're not satisfied?
[06:15] ---
    Yes.
[06:18] ---
    Indra has changed…
[06:21] ---
    It's because of the Sharingan.
[06:23] ---
    Sharingan?
[06:25] ---
    Everyone who sees Sharingan is
    overwhelmed by its power.
[06:30] ---
    And that happened
    way before Indra realized it.
[06:35] ---
    That's how powerful
    Indra's Sharingan is.
[06:42] ---
    That power stopped Indra from
    understanding how others feel…
[06:47] ---
    And in the end, it closed his heart.
[06:53] ---
    But you are different.
[06:57] ---
    You understand the human heart.
[07:00] ---
    That is why you enhanced
    Ninshu with love.
[07:03] ---
    And that nurtured trust among people,
    created bonds and friendship.
[07:08] ---
    Friendship?
[07:10] ---
    A bond is only created after
    sharing hardship together.
[07:16] ---
    A bond overflows with love
    and compassion.
[07:19] ---
    As long as there are bonds,
    Ninshu will not be used for evil.
[07:24] ---
    However, power without bonds will
    bring about calamity in the world.
[07:31] ---
    Ashura…
[07:33] ---
    Join forces with your brother and
    spread the bonds of Ninshu.
[07:40] ---
    Father…
[07:42] ---
    From this moment onward,
    I entrust my power to you.
[07:50] ---
    Ashura!
[07:52] ---
    Where did he go?
[08:04] ---
    What is that?!
[08:24] ---
    W-What is it?
[08:32] ---
    Kanna! Are you all right?
[08:34] ---
    Yes…
[08:36] ---
    What just happened?
[08:46] ---
    Elder Brother!
[08:52] ---
    Indra…
[08:54] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[08:56] ---
    Why?
[08:57] ---
    Why didn't you choose me
    as your successor?
[09:01] ---
    It isn't power that
    controls Ninshu, but love.
[09:04] ---
    That is what I have decided.
[09:06] ---
    Love?
    There is no need for love!
[09:09] ---
    During my journey,
[09:11] ---
    like Ashura,
    I searched for the villagers' pain.
[09:16] ---
    But ultimately, the villagers
    ended up relying on my power.
[09:21] ---
    The weak revered me as their king
    and wanted my power.
[09:25] ---
    Ashura was lacking.
[09:27] ---
    That is why he found it necessary
    to get the cooperation of others.
[09:32] ---
    But I'm different!
[09:34] ---
    I don't need the help of the weak.
[09:37] ---
    I can use my power
    and I can establish total order!
[09:42] ---
    A world completely
    devoid of conflict!
[09:46] ---
    That's just like my mother, Kaguya…
[09:49] ---
    Especially those with power,
    must never forget the human heart.
[09:56] ---
    People cannot progress
    as swiftly as you can.
[09:59] ---
    Those who cannot walk
    at the same pace
[10:02] ---
    can only fear power
    that has no bond.
[10:05] ---
    People will not support
    governance through fear.
[10:09] ---
    Then I shall force them to obey.
[10:12] ---
    Please stop, Elder Brother!
[10:14] ---
    You would have given
    your life to protect me.
[10:16] ---
    That's how kind you once were!
[10:18] ---
    Ashura…
    I am no longer that man.
[10:23] ---
    I cannot return to being him.
[10:26] ---
    Indra…
[10:27] ---
    Your eyes!
[10:32] ---
    We just want to support you.
[10:35] ---
    Yes, just tell us anything
    that you want us to do!
[10:38] ---
    Really?
    Thank you, both of you.
[10:50] ---
    Indra… Why?!
[10:56] ---
    Forgive me…
[11:04] ---
    Whenever I lose the ones
    closest and dear to me…
[11:07] ---
    my Sharingan evolves.
[11:14] ---
    Indra!
    So you've stooped that low…
[11:17] ---
    Please stop!
    I don't want to fight you, Elder Brother!
[11:21] ---
    Oh…fight me?
[11:24] ---
    You've become quite brave, Ashura!
[11:27] ---
    You really think
    you can take me on?
[11:49] ---
    What?!
[12:09] ---
    A-Amazing!
[12:10] ---
    That's the result of his training!
[12:32] ---
    You've become quite brave, Ashura!
[12:35] ---
    But it's not enough to beat me!
[13:04] ---
    Here I come.
[13:13] ---
    This is power!
[13:39] ---
    Ashura?!
[14:07] ---
    Father!
    Everyone!
[14:09] ---
    Everyone!
    Join forces!
[14:19] ---
    You have the audacity
    to point your blade at me?
[14:33] ---
    The powerless can band together,
    but it means nothing.
[14:39] ---
    Father, let me perform the last rites
    for your fragile ideals!
[14:47] ---
    It's over!
[14:48] ---
    Elder Brother!
[15:09] ---
    This is…
[15:10] ---
    The power of the Six Paths!
[15:13] ---
    You inherited it?
[15:16] ---
    Ridiculous!
[15:29] ---
    Everyone, lend Ashura your power!
[15:56] ---
    Father!
[15:57] ---
    Ashura, chakra is a power that
    can link the hearts of many!
[16:05] ---
    Everyone!
[16:12] ---
    I feel it…I can feel…
    everyone's…
[16:15] ---
    …power!
[16:25] ---
    What?!
[16:39] ---
    What is this?
[16:43] ---
    Elder Brother!
[16:45] ---
    Ashura!
[16:50] ---
    This is…
[16:51] ---
    …the power of our bond!
[17:15] ---
    Elder Brother!
[17:16] ---
    Stay away!
[17:21] ---
    Ashura…
[17:23] ---
    I will never…
[17:26] ---
    acknowledge Ninshu…or you!
[17:33] ---
    Elder Brother…
[17:37] ---
    Soon after that,
[17:38] ---
    I heard rumors that Indra established
    a sect of Ninjutsu that idealized power.
[17:45] ---
    I recorded the misfortune that
    the Sharingan brings about
[17:47] ---
    in the stone tablet.
[17:49] ---
    However, Zetsu took advantage of it
[17:52] ---
    and seems to have
    been a total waste.
[18:00] ---
    Ashura…
[18:01] ---
    It seems my time in this world
    is coming to an end.
[18:06] ---
    Father!
[18:07] ---
    - Father!
    - Grandpa!
[18:11] ---
    I was not able to guide
    this world well…
[18:17] ---
    That's not true!
[18:18] ---
    We'll pass on your will to many,
    many people through Ninshu, Father!
[18:23] ---
    But I leave behind some who will not…
[18:28] ---
    Indra came by last night.
[18:42] ---
    Is that you, Indra?
[18:48] ---
    Have you come to kill me?
[18:52] ---
    There's no need for me
    to do that anymore.
[18:55] ---
    I came here
[18:56] ---
    to end the future
    of this hell disguised as Ninshu.
[19:01] ---
    You have always feared
    the power of my grandmother.
[19:05] ---
    And instead of trying to
    understand this enormous power,
[19:09] ---
    you merely ran from it…
[19:11] ---
    using love and bonds as a shield.
[19:15] ---
    Your selfish misconception
    will mar the future of Ninshu
[19:19] ---
    with wars and calamities.
[19:22] ---
    Until I destroy Ashura
    and his brethren,
[19:25] ---
    and wipe out Ninshu from
    the face of this world,
[19:28] ---
    I have no intention of
    ever stopping my fight.
[19:31] ---
    Until I accomplish this,
[19:34] ---
    my soul will reincarnate and fight,
    however long it takes!
[19:45] ---
    Forgive me.
[19:47] ---
    Father, please be at peace.
[19:50] ---
    If Elder Brother's soul will reincarnate
    over and over again, so shall mine.
[19:58] ---
    Ashura…
    I entrust the future of this world…
[20:01] ---
    …to you and your descendants…
[20:07] ---
    Father!
[20:08] ---
    Lord Hagoromo!
[20:09] ---
    - Father!
    - Grandpa!
[20:14] ---
    And as Indra warned,
[20:17] ---
    the battle between them waged on,
[20:20] ---
    never-ending,
    over and over again.
[20:27] ---
    These battles took the lives of many
    comrades and kin on both sides.
[20:31] ---
    Hate begat hate,
    and it reached a point of no return.
[20:36] ---
    The fighting continued even after
    Ashura and Indra died
[20:40] ---
    to the numerous reincarnates
    of their souls.
[20:45] ---
    To you, Senju Hashirama,
    and Madara Uchiha…
[20:50] ---
    and now, to Naruto Uzumaki
    and Sasuke Uchiha.
[20:56] ---
    Everyone…
[20:58] ---
    You must do everything in your power
    to save Naruto and Sasuke.
[21:01] ---
    I have implicit faith
[21:04] ---
    that these two will find
    the true solution
[21:08] ---
    to this fate of the shinobi
    that has continued for so long.
[22:49] ---
    There's only one S-rank mission
    that we can do, ya know?
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Nothing good happened
    and we messed up before,
    
    
[22:56] ---
    but it's a mission
    that only we can do!
    
    
[22:58] ---
    This is getting interesting…
    
    
[23:01] ---
    I'm getting kind of excited for this!
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "A Special Mission"
    
    
    
[23:09] ---
    All right!
    Let's begin the mission!
    
    
    
[23:12] ---
    A SPECIAL MISSION
    
    
    
[23:18] ---
    Tune in again!
