Naruto Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝)

Damn it! I can't tell who's who.

I can't sniff out the transformed fakes from our own guys.

Hm?

You're finally back, Shino. You okay?

Yes, I am.

Be careful. There's no telling where the enemy will come from next.

I had a feeling you were one of them.

Damn it!

Byakugan!

It's no good. I can't distinguish them by looking at their chakra.

Are you a fake?!

No, stop! I'm real!

Not being able to tell who the fakes are is so annoying.

Whatever happens, don't step out of your circle!

Do it and you'll be considered a transformed enemy!

Choza, we aren't getting anywhere with this situation.

I know that, but it can't be helped!

So we'll just have to continue to wait.

Just wait?! Wait for what?!

Got it? No one here moves! We can't tell who's a disguised enemy!

More of those Reanimated Shinobi can show up anytime, too.

Anyone who moves will be considered an enemy. So don't move!

And in the meantime, the number of our wounded is only going to keep increasing.

We have no choice but to wait now.

Lava Style!

Lava Monster Jutsu!

It never ends...

Yeah, we have to do something about the real one!

Make sure you don't get hit!

What now?!

Don't panic! Surround them!

I've detected a new group of the enemy.

It's a small unit, but the chakra is unusual.

I think... It's Madara!

What did you say?!

Madara is now leading a small unit into battle!

And can you tell who's in this unit?

This chakra is...

The Fourth Mizukage!

Do you mean the one who was a Jinchuriki?

There's no doubt about it. And all the others are Jinchuriki, too!

I can't believe he had more pawns under his control...

And Naruto...? Where is he?!

Finally caught up with you, Naruto!

Well, it's about time!

What have you been doing?

A persistent pee, yo!

Man, sure took you long enough!

Well...had other problems, too.

Anyway, one of your shadow clones contacted me earlier.

How are all the others doing, by the way?

They should arrive on the frontlines of every last battefield right about now.

Then all the fakers we're gonna seek out. All the bad guys we'll defeat, no doubt!

Yeah, that's the plan. But we gotta hurry!

Shikamaru...Just how long do we have to stay like this, anyway?

If that big statue thing comes back anytime soon, then we're gonna be toast!

Relax, it's only until Naruto arrives.

And until he does, no one steps inside of anyone else's circle!

Or they'll be tagged as an enemy, even you.

But can't we just confirm who people are using secrets only their friends would know?

No way! I mean, we already lost some people trying that method, remember?

Sometimes a lucky guess ends up being right.

Man, this is dull...

I'm sorry about this. Please be patient just a little longer.

Sure thing, I understand.

You made it!

Yeah, finally got here!

Nawaki...?

All right, there he is.

Oh great, that's good news.

He's gotten really flashy though, hasn't he?

Hey, Naruto!

Naruto?

He looks just like Nawaki...

We already got the heads up from HQ. Thank you for coming.

Although I have to say, I'm surprised Lord Raikage gave the okay for this.

Well, you can thank Granny Tsunade for that!

She convinced Pops Raikage to let me do this!

Tsunade sent that boy out here? Exactly who is he, anyway?

He has the Nine Tails sealed inside him. He's what all the adults call a Jinchuriki.

What? That boy?!

His name is Naruto, my idiot classmate who's yelled about becoming Hokage since he was a kid.

Who are you calling an idiot, idiot?

Anyway, now that I'm here, I can find all the enemies for you.

But now? He makes you believe it actually might be possible for him to become Hokage.

It's crazy!

Lady Tsunade has hedged all her bets on him.

Naruto, huh?

So guys like Nawaki and the old me exist in this era, too...

Everybody, come on! Let's take down the transformed white ones!

Yeah!

Right!

Yeah...

We can start with that guy right there!

The rest of you around me I know aren't imposters!

All of you who've gotten Naruto's seal of approval can leave your circle.

Consider anyone else the enemy.

Now let's go!

Hey, stop right there!

Get back!

Help me!

Do not approach!

What's the matter?

My husband! He still might be saved with Medical Ninjutsu!

Just stay put! I told everyone not to move.

How can you prove you're allies? You can't, and that's the whole point.

I know, but at this rate...!

He's going to die without your help!

Please, I beg of you! Help him! Do what you can!

Don't let my husband die right here in my arms!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?!

If you can't trust me, then I'll just take my own life right here and right now.

But please, just save my husband!

Hey, stop that!

Come on...

No! What if they're enemies?

And what if they're actually comrades? I have to tend to that man's injuries.

Sakura!

Are you okay, Sakura?

It's Naruto!

Naruto? How did you...?

Well, it looks like you're all right to me!

Gentle Fist!

He was a fake after all!

Bad news this way! Hinata's in trouble!

Neji!

Damn! I won't make it in time!

Hinata!

So that one was a transformed enemy?!

All right now, who's next?!

The two to your left!

You got it!

Don't tell me...

Neji! Where are you going? This way!

Sorry I'm late!

N-Naruto?!

That's Naruto?!

He smells different than before!

It's gonna be all right!

Are you hurt at all, Hinata?

I'm okay.

Summoning Jutsu!

Finally...

It seems you've managed to successfully groom that brat Nagato.

I never imagined the next summoning would be...

If I'm not mistaken, you are...

The caster of the Reanimation Jutsu has a keen understanding of war...

To think of using you...

Did you say Reanimation Jutsu? Then this is not the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu?

Why didn't you tell us sooner that Naruto had arrived?

Because he just got here, that's why.

Sure I happened to run into him first, but I was still in the middle of fighting.

Naruto smells different than he did before, so I didn't notice him.

And besides, you're the one with long range vision.

But he looks different than before.

Even his chakra nature's changed.

Then who are you to talk if you can't even recognize him now?

Are you really Naruto?
