Naruto Shippuden

NINJA NETWORK NEWS Ninja Network News!

Good evening, I am Mabui of the Cloud.

I'm Shikaku Nara.

Today, we'll be bringing you the latest news

from various battlefronts via satellite.

Before that, here are some highlights

from battles that continue to rage on the frontlines.

On the desert front, the standoff continues

between Gaara's Fourth Company and the previous Kage.

On the coastal front,

Darui and his First Company sustained heavy losses

when the enemy summoned a giant humanoid.

However, they succeeded in eliminating most of the enemy force.

The Third Company under Kakashi are sealing away

the Ninja Swordsmen one after another.

The company has been split up into smaller units

and expanded the area of fierce fighting,

in order to take down remaining enemies.

Mifune's Fifth Company have joined up with the Commando Unit.

Deidara's escape was unexpected,

but they were successful in recapturing him.

Next up, we have news about White Zetsu.

His jutsu with which he mimics not only appearances, but even chakra,

has created chaos within the Allied Force…

However, thanks to the fine observations

of Sakura Haruno of the Medical Unit,

our genius strategist, Shikaku, has been able

to draw up a counter strategy.

I'm refining the strategy right now, so please be patient just a bit longer.

At the front, Sakura has just begun a news conference

in order to get data out about White Zetsu.

I understand you received a love letter,

but rejected it immediately. Is this true?

Err…N-No, that's…

That hasn't been the only declaration of love you've received, has it?

U-Um… Please…

You supposedly said that you're already in love…

– Who is this person?! – Please tell us!

That has nothing to do with this news conference!! Cha!

Whoa… The "Kosuke Kills" corner was scheduled in this time slot…

but we just received an update.

According to this bulletin,

the key figures of the Fourth Great Ninja World War,

Killer Bee the Eight Tails and Naruto the Nine Tails,

have persuaded Lady Tsunade and Lord Raikage…

and at long last, they are heading towards the battlefield.

I'm amazed that they were able to convince those two.

Looks like we have a satellite link with the duo.

Let's ask them if they're excited about joining the war effort.

Naruto… Naruto?

Was the link broken?

Is the equipment malfunctioning?

I'm not sure…

Okay, it seems we're connected now.

All right, let's try again. Naruto!

So do I talk into this as I'm running?

Stay put, so the camera can focus.

And I'll plant a kiss on you like this.

Hey! Get out of my way!

What are those two doing?!

We're still on the air…

Naruto Enters the Battle

If Kisame's intel is correct, Naruto now has the same ability,

just like Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage,

to sense the enemy.

Naruto will have no choice.

He'll have to battle with White Zetsu.

It's all going according to plan…

Today, the Senju's Will of Fire shall be extinguished.

The two Kage who block their path and refuse to let them go are…

Lord Raikage and Lady Tsunade.

Demanding that they get out of the way,

Naruto makes his approach.

The indomitable Bee is quick to react and jumps in to assist.

Shockingly, Lady Tsunade steps aside to let them pass,

inciting Lord Raikage to roar his dissent.

But the sun inside Naruto softens his heart…

The light of brotherly love and parental love burns so bright,

it makes him squint.

And so, he relents and lets them go.

In an intense, touching moment between men…

Lady Tsunade and Lord Raikage let Naruto have his way.

Oh sorry… Lady Tsunade isn't a man.

This is momentous.

To think that Lord Raikage could be persuaded…

I'm not that surprised.

There's something about Naruto

that makes the impossible seem possible.

But…this could be just what the enemy is hoping for.

Consider White Zetsu's Transformation Jutsu.

It's as though it's used specifically to lure Naruto out.

It definitely could be a trap.

However, we have no choice, but to leave this in Naruto's hands.

No one is allowed near Lady Shizune's tent!

Anyone making a move will be considered an enemy!

So, just stay put!

Don't move! You must not move!

Sakura, take a look at this genetic sequence data!

It's finally done?!

It has changed and become even more like Captain Yamato's

than it was at the Five Kage Summit!

In other words,

there's very little difference from the First Hokage's genetic data.

So it was true.

What are you saying?!

What's this about the white guy and the First Hokage?

Namely, this white guy is a clone of the First Hokage.

Or rather, judging from how many there are,

the First Hokage's cells were cultivated and

using mobile plants as a medium, clones that can move were created.

They are diluted in strength, but they still use the Wood Style.

Huh?! I still don't get it…

I don't get it,

but I'm supposed to guard you against plants. Right?

Well then, how about using termites?

Looking at this data, I'm sure Captain Yamato

is being used to make these clones stronger.

I'll notify HQ immediately!

I'm back!

I got word that those white beings are transforming,

and are causing havoc on the battlefield.

Perhaps it's too much of a coincidence,

but letting Naruto go couldn't have been timed better.

I agree.

Sorry to interrupt,

but we just got a report from the Medical Team.

It's data about those white beings.

Give it to me!

Who would have thought that Madara and Orochimaru's fixation

on the First Hokage would create this?

Botanical Ninja created from Grandfather's body.

This is proof that

Madara has possession of the First Hokage's cells!

He's cultivated them

and developed a way to replicate them.

Including his own body.

No wonder he's been able to live this long.

Well? Do we have an idea of how to destroy him?

No… Just the opposite…

Now, we don't even know what will kill him.

It seems Madara is really…immortal!

An immortal leader and his mobile plants…

Reanimation zombies…

Not a normal human among them.

Notify Naruto and Bee immediately

about the White Beings' Transformation Technique!

Naruto, please listen carefully. You too, Lord Bee.

I am transmitting this message directly into your minds.

Let me explain the enemy's battle jutsu and their objective.

Pay close attention.

That explains all the weird, fuzzy sensations I've been having.

I guess I have no choice, but to step up.

Yeah!

But remember, I mentioned that Madara's Project Tsuki no Me

won't work without your Tailed Beasts…

That means you two are his targets.

I know that!

As if I'd sit still and let them capture me!

Then this time,

don't even think about negotiating with him, Naruto.

Madara is different from Pain and Nagato.

He has no interest in peace.

He's a truly evil man who covets the entire world.

Controlling people requires the skill to manipulate

the darkness in their souls.

Although, Nagato just happened to be easily influenced.
