Right here, right now.

Right here, right now.

Thank you.

Thank you for

watching!

You'll just go my way. Right here, right now. Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

What is this?

You come at me and that's all you've got?

All that effort, and you couldn't even touch me.

What a joke!

Sakura.

I don't really know how much damage I can do, but it doesn't matter. I just

to give it my best shot.

Naruto's Ninja Handbook!

SHADOW CLONE!

Nice move, the kid pulled.

Uh -huh.

So did he get him or not?

Gotta.

All of that work, and you only scored one blow?

Ah, put a sock in it!

He attacked at the base of the tail, where the defense is weakest.

He didn't wound me, but the sand couldn't absorb the impact.

Have I underestimated him?

Naruto, listen to me.

You have to save Sakura if it's the last thing you do.

Once you've got her, I want you to take her and flee as fast as you can.

It's all up to you.

I can hold him here a little longer.

If it ends here, it just means this was as far as I was meant to go.

I lost everything once.

I don't ever want to have to see that again.

My trusted comrade's falling right in front of me.

Your comrades?

I will not allow my comrades to die.

That is absolute.

I get it now.

Of course.

He's no different than I am. Going through life with the exact same sadness

loneliness that I had to carry.

He fought only for himself, never relying on anyone. And because of that,

thought that he possessed strength.

I really did.

Naruto.

I don't know. I guess I should have known better.

That's not what real strength is. If you never fight for anyone but yourself,

you'll never be strong no matter what you do.

So is there someone who is precious to you?

Anyone?

The truth is, when a person has something precious they want to protect,

it's only then that they become genuinely

strong.

You will get strong.

Very strong.

I'm releasing a massive amount of chakra.

How is he doing it?

No matter what happens... I swear

I'm going to protect you!

Not too shabby.

Gee, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long.

Now get ready for an original jutsu straight from my ninja handbook.

What the?

How could he have summoned so many clones?

You've got to be kidding.

This is amazing.

I don't believe my eyes.

Way to go there, Blondie. You show an awful lot of promise. How did you do

Sasuke. Why don't you take it easy for a while? You deserve it. Just leave the

wreck to Naruto Uzumaki!

What happened to him?

Hi, everyone!

Look out! Here I go!

Unbelievable.

Is that Naruto?

My body hasn't recovered yet. Have to use the fan to defend!

Unbelievable. Taking on Gaara in his current form.

Where did that strength come from?

There's no way.

Not to him!

There's absolutely no way I'm gonna lose to -

What is that?

So, he finally emerged.

The perfect possession.

So that's it.

The monster inside of him.

Well, what do you know?

I never thought she would bring this out of me.

Luto!

My body!

I used up all my chakra on all those clothes.

This is the end for you, Sandberry!

It's

amazing

that he could summon in that state.

Sakura!

I swear I'll protect you!

Naruto Uzumaki.

You really are good at amusing me.

Naruto, how on earth can you do that?

Those hours of practice are finally paying off.

This'll be a three.

What the?

Not you again. What is this?

Shikaku the Sand Spirit.

What do you say?

Will you fight alongside me today, Chief Toad?

Take a hike.

Why go out of my way to mess with a guy like him?

What am I, an idiot?

Why? Are you kidding me? You already told me you would make me your henchman,

didn't you?

I knew I'd make you my henchman, but we haven't even sealed the deal over a cup

of sake yet. Give me a freaking break! I'm not even 21 years old yet! I can't

have any alcohol!

Come on, Pops, don't be like that. Why don't you just settle down and hear the

kid out?

Huh? Pops?

And just what do you think you're doing here, Gamakichi?

I had nothing else to do. I just came...

Pops, that big ugly lug over there was picking on me before.

Come again?

Oh, yeah, and when he did, our friend here came to my rescue.

He went head -to -head and toe -to -toe with that monster.

I'm telling you, Pops, there's a heck of a lot more to this kid than meets the

eye.

Is that right?

Okay, kid.

You're hereby accepted as my infant.

Sit tight.

I'll show you what duty is all about.

I'll take him down, but not before he's paid for what he's done.

That worthless little flunky!

This guy's no joke.

I barely managed to make that cut he's so heavy.

If I don't end this quick, the landscape's gonna start changing around

Hey, Chief, hold on a second.

Don't go over in that direction.

Sakura's still there.

Try and lure him over this way if you can, okay?

Sakura?

It's his little girlfriend, Pop.

Right, kid?

I have to take him out.

Otherwise, Sakura's as good as dead.

Hmm. Interesting.

Interesting!

Not bad, Naruto Zomaki!

This isn't good!

Kana! It's really going to do it. I have to get out of here!

What the heck is that?

A spiritualist medium.

To thank you for entertaining me here today.

I'll show you the true power of the manifestation of the sand.

The circle is under his eyes.

There's signs of insomnia.

Evidence that the medium's been possessed by the Shikaku.

Huh? Insomnia?

Those possessed by Shikaku the Sand Spirit are no longer able to sleep

through the night. The terror is too great.

If one does sleep, the Shikaku will eat away at your psyche until

the person that you once were ceases to exist.

Since he normally doesn't get much sleep, the medium's personality tends to

become quite unstable.

Great.

But as long as the spiritualist medium is awake, the Shukaku's true power is

held in check.

The only danger is if the medium...

Finally falls asleep, play possum jutsu.

He's done it.

I don't like this at all, Chief Toad. What's going to happen?

If he set the play possum jutsu in motion...

Then Mr. Kaku will be unleashed.

I'm finally free!

Here I come, baby!

So that's the fan spirit?

Man, that is one funky demon.

Here we go!

I hope you're ready to die.

Let's do this!

I'm gonna jump.

Huh? Wind style, air bullets!

Water style, liquid bullets!

Oh, this is nice.

I didn't know it was going to rain.

What kind of a battle is this turning into?

Remember, chief, not in that direction!

Please!

I know him!

that you blasted me with, I have to admit.

Hit me with a couple more of those, even I won't last much longer.

Chief, what do we do?

Well, for starters, you can wake up the spiritualist medium to...

He doesn't have any claws or horns to dig into the enemy with.

Then what the heck are we supposed to do?

Use the transformation jutsu to change into something that has what we need.

Then again, I'm not particularly good at transformations.

Huh? Don't worry about it. You shall act upon my will and make a hand sign.

What? A combined...

I don't know.

are the people I have to protect.

All right, you pasty -faced creep.

Let's finish this one -on -one.

I'll wrap this up with one hit.

I'm through messing around.

This blow will be the last thing you ever feel. You can count on it. Next

Beyond the Limits.
