Naruto Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝)

There.

The sealing of the Six Tails is at last completed.

Phew.

It certainly takes longer with just five of us.

-Now that it's done, there are only two tailed beasts

remaining.

Yes.

I've sent Sasuke and his team to go and retrieve

the Eight Tails.

But can he be trusted?

I can vouch for Sasuke myself.

-I know that you're out here all by yourself.

So why aren't you running?

Whatever.

I can be any number from 1 to 1,000.

Besides, why would I want to run?

If I capture you right now, then I'll get to see Sasuke again.

-Why are you so obsessed with my brother?

He's just a rogue ninja.

It's true that we may not be blood,

but he's more of a brother to me than you ever were to him.

You're already under my genjutsu.

I'll say it again.

I just want to talk.

I know that you've been trying to take Sasuke back

to the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, what if it doesn't go the way you want it to?

-I'll do anything to make it happen.

Even taking him by force?

Sure, if you're lucky, Sasuke will just obediently

return with you to the village.

But tell me, what if the opposite were to happen?

What are you talking about?

-You just said you consider Sasuke to be like a brother

to you.

What if Sasuke were to attack the Hidden Leaf Village?

What would you do then?

-Why would-- no, there's just no way

that Sasuke would ever do something like that.

Sasuke is still a blank canvas.

He can easily be dyed into any color.

If he resists, would you be able to stop him?

Or even kill him, if need be?

Could you weigh Sasuke against the Hidden Leaf

on a set of scales?

-I would defend the village, and I'd

find a way to stop Sasuke without killing him!

You're such a child.

All your tales are nothing but mere fantasies.

Shinobi must be capable of making very harsh decisions.

-The first thing is for you to give up on Sasuke.

What happened was always destined to happen, Naruto.

Dismiss him from your mind, and move on.

To be a shinobi, you need more strength and jutsu.

You must acquire the judgement to make the right decisions.

You must become smarter.

So the longer that you remain a fool,

the harder it is for you to live in this world.

Fine, then.

If being smarter means what you say it does,

I'll remain a fool my entire life.

I'm going after him, and I'll do it alone, if I have to.

I'll create my own incredible jutsu.

Someone else once tried to tell me the same thing.

But for me, there is no choice.

I gave my word, and I'll never back down.

That will always be my ninja way.

I have shared some of my power with you.

Though I hope the day when you will have to use

it never comes.

What is this?

What's going on here?

I thought you said that you weren't after me.

Then why are you doing this?

I'm going now.

I have an important matter to attend to.

-What did Itachi mean by all of that?

Why did he--

Sasuke triumphed in the battle.

Itachi Uchiha is now dead.

Sasuke is down right now, too.

So what's next?

I think he's in pretty bad shape.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): What are you doing now, Sasuke?

I hope you're OK.

Are you all right, Sasuke?

Yeah.

Let's hurry.

We're almost at the rendezvous point.

As promised, I've delivered the Eight Tails to you.

Excellent work.

I knew you could do it.

Where are you going?

First to tend to my wounds.

Then to the Hidden Leaf.

-Sasuke, I need to ask you something important.

After learning the truth about Itachi's life,

there is a chance that you will carry out his wishes

and protect the Hidden Leaf.

So tell me the truth.

What are your intentions?

-Itachi's life shows how he sacrificed

himself to protect the village.

But my grief at losing him is deeper than any desire

to follow his path.

Inconsolably so.

The peace that Itachi sacrificed himself for

doesn't appeal to me.

Now that I know the truth, following in Itachi's footsteps

to protect the Hidden Leaf is the last thing I would do.

Most of all, I will never forgive the three elders

of the Leaf Village.

I believe everyone in the Leaf who's

enjoying the peace paid for with Itachi's life is guilty, too.

-I thought you were only going to kill the elders?

No.

What I want is to slaughter the entire Leaf Village.

But only by myself.

I was just lying in front of the Taka.

Are you sure about that?

You can truly ignore Itachi's will, his sacrifice,

as well as all of those he strove to protect?

Are you really serious?

Look, you told me so yourself.

The reason why Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill me

was because my life was more precious to him

than the village itself was.

I have similar feelings that Itachi's life

is more precious than the Hidden Leaf.

That's all.

They shunned the Uchiha clan.

They ordered my brother to kill own parents.

It wasn't just the elders who chased Itachi to his death,

but all those in the Hidden Leaf who abide by the Senju.

To me they are the scum of the earth!

They are all objects of my vengeance!

If you want to ridicule me as a brat swayed by his emotions,

go ahead.

To accept and adopt Itachi's intention would be childish.

The foolish sputtering of those who don't know hatred.

If anyone who criticizes my way of life were to come forward,

I'd turn around and kill every single one of their loved ones,

so that they too could grasp what

it's like to experience this hatred of mine.

When a man learns to feel love,

he must also bear the risk of feeling hate.

What?

What do you mean, Killer B's been taken?

-Among the assailants is someone from the Hidden Leaf.

An Uchiha.

My partner is tailing them right now.

-Lord Raikage, what are your orders for us?

The Akatsuki.

They won't get away with this!

Just you wait, little brother.

This isn't done.

Huh?

Oh.

It's you.

Hey, Kakashi-sensei.

Lady Fifth has summoned you.

Let's go.

Chief Toad and Gamakichi?

What gives?

Yo.

What's up, Naruto?

What are you guys doing here?

What's going on?

Did something happen?

Well, actually, uh--

Gamakichi, keep your trap shut.

Let the boss and Tsunade handle it.

They know what they're doing.

That's weird.

What's going on here?

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Hm?

-So this is Jiraya boy's student, is it?

Yes.

This is Naruto Uzumaki.

The child of prophecy you spoke of.
