[moaning]

-Now what's going on?

The reanimation jutsu.

It's wearing off!

-So that must mean the other squad defeated the enemies

then, right?

-Yeah.

Let's hope so.

-I think we're going to be OK.

-I wouldn't go that far.

-Huh?

What's happening?

[cheering]

-We have done it!

The jutsu is fading away!

-The Leaf village is still standing strong.

-Nah.

Shikamaru was right.

It could be a diversion.

I wouldn't start celebrating just yet.

-This ain't over.

There's a much bigger jutsu coming.

Konohamaru said they had a way to toast the whole village.

-Hey, whatever happened to Yamato and Sakura?

Didn't they leave to help Asuma-sensei?

-No word back from Sakura?

-No, nothing.

-Well, that doesn't sound good.

-Shikamaru.

-Huh?

-We have to assume that the village is still in jeopardy.

So, for the moment, we should treat the reanimation jutsu

ending as a trick.

They want us to let our guard down.

-All right.

Got it.

So we need to locate either Sakura and Yamato,

or the enemies themselves.

-That's correct.

Now go put together a team.

I want you to investigate the village.

-Yeah.

Sure thing.

-[inaudible] Right Jutsu.

-Ah!

[cries]

-Looks like the first three are in position.

If Kitane makes it to his, then that'll be it.

[theme music]

-Sora!

Surpass your father.

Crush him!

You were chosen for this power.

Power that Kazuma was unworthy of.

-Shut your filthy mouth.

-This village.

[groan]

-Asuma.

-Ahh.

-Your father!

-That's right.

Your worthless father was pathetic.

Huh?

-If you insult my father anymore--

-If I insult him, you're going to do what?

-I won't forgive you.

-Won't forgive me?

What do I care about that?

-My father would never have wanted such a massacre.

Neither do I. I will stop you!

-Massacre.

But Sora, isn't that exactly why you were born?

-Huh?

W-- What are you talking about?

-Really now.

Look at that arm.

Admit it.

You've got the hand of a monster.

-He's a beast!

[crowd murmuring]

-Disgusting.

-Monster.

[laughter]

-I didn't think you'd go down so easily, little boy.

What a shame.

[gasp]

[grunts]

[screaming]

-Ahh!

-Huh?

-You cut me.

How dare you desecrate my body?

-Ahh!

-Haaa!

-Damn it!

[grunting]

-You'll pay, boy.

Reaper Transfer!

-(VOICEOVER) What the hell?

The wound's already healed!

-Fire Style.

Phoenix Flower Jutsu.

-Hmm!

-You're mine.

Argh!

-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

-A little late!

-The clones are pointless with the original all locked up.

So much for your diversion.

-Sorry.

No diversion, lady.

This time, the real one was the bait.

-Huh?

-Rasengan!

[scream]

-Yes!

I did it!

-Not yet.

It isn't over.

-What the heck is wrong with her?

I don't get it.

What happened?

-How dare you do that to my body?

Not just once, but twice you've done it.

Reaper Transfer.

Well, boy.

Nothing average about you, is there?

-Her wounds.

They're gone!

How is she--

-Water Style.

Storm Upheaval!

-Ahh!

-Water.

Huh?

Damn it.

After water comes--

[giggle]

-Earth Style.

Mud Silhouette!

-(VOICEOVER) Earth?

Lightning would make more sense.

What is this?

Hold on, here.

Before I hit her with the Rasengan,

she was using lightning.

Then after she fixed her arm, it was water style.

-Wait a second.

I've got it.

I know what you're doing.

You're switching bodies.

-Huh?

-That's how you can use so many elements!

-You certainly are clever, but the knowledge

won't help you any.

Water Style.

Mouth of the Serpent!

-Ahhh!

-Reaper Transfer!

Earth Style!

Mud Silhouette!

[shouting]

-I can't allow anyone who knows my secret to live.

In exchange, I'll be taking your body.

Or would you rather die?

-You wish.

-Hmm?

-I'm not letting you get away with this.

[laughter]

-Enough with the bluffing, sweetie.

Damn you!

Earth Style.

Stone Column Spear!

Stop messing up my hair.

Die!

-Ahh!

Sora!

[laughter]

-Huh.

[laughter]

-Now that I think of it, your chakra is wind natured,

isn't it?

There aren't many people who possess that element.

I might as well stock up.

Reaper Kiss.

(VOICEOVER) Such vast power.

It will all be mine.

-(VOICEOVER) Her body has changed,

but it's still the same blood running through it.

What a weird jutsu.

Wait a sec.

[gasp]

-What a-- what do you think you're doing?

-Heh!

Ha!

Ha!

[scream]

-I finally figured it out.

I know the secret behind your jutsu.

[grunting]

[screaming]

-This is what happened the last time.

You were way more freaked out about your hair than you

were about your body, which means

there must be something special about it.

-Now that it's come to this, I'll

be taking your body no matter what.

-Ha!

-I'll suck the life right out of you.

-Are you crazy?

[gasp]

[screaming]

-Impudent brat.

[gasp]

-What the hell is that?

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

-Not this time.

-Rasengan!

[screaming]

[panting]

-Well, that was something.

Sora.

Wait for me.

-Wind Style.

Jade Hurricane.

[grunt]

-Have you heard of the real monster

that attacked this village, almost completely annihilating

it?

The nine-tailed fox spirit.

-Nine-tailed fox spirit?

-It's not the only one, either.

There are several tailed beasts.

And we humans have sought them throughout all of history,

in the hopes of obtaining the massive amounts of power each

of them hold.

The purpose is clear, I'm sure.

To use them as weapons.

[gasp]

-Those who claimed the beasts for their own

would have the whole world beneath them.

The nations poured themselves into research,

and eventually a way was found to control them.

By taking the tailed beasts and sealing them away inside

of someone.

-Huh?

-Those with beasts sealed within them are called Jinchuriki.

The nations all scrambled to acquire one.

And then the chance finally arose for the Leaf village

to obtain one as well.

Almost 15 years ago.

The Nine-Tails fell upon the village,

and the Fourth Hokage sealed it within a baby,

giving the Leaf its Jinchuriki at last.

And the Leaf's chance was our chance as well.

We managed to harvest some of the chakra that

was expelled from the Nine-Tails.

It was tricky.

Its chakra couldn't be sealed right away.

It took us five years to implant it into the boy

that we had selected.

-You mean--

-That's right.

You're that boy, Sora.

It's you.

You're a simulated Jinchuriki.

-But when was I--

-Jinchuriki you're not, but your power

is nearly comparable to the original.

-When was I--

-Right from the beginning.

-You were born to be a harbinger of death.

You're the weapon that we forged.

-It can't be.

-You probably don't remember this, Sora,

but when the chakra was sealed inside of your body,

you lost total control and ran amok.

You lurched about in a frenzy and completely

obliterated the mighty walls of the Fire Temple.

-And because of that?

[screaming]

-(VOICEOVER) I've been utterly alone.

Hated, and spit upon.

And never having a single friend.

-Kitane.

[chanting song - in japanese]

-The two kings, Kitane.

[groaning]

-It's the same old question.

What does a king really mean to its people?

-Asuma.

If I were to ask you who the king was,

what would your answer be?

-Well, that's easy.

It'd have to be either the Feudal Lord or the Hokage.

But the way I see it, we should only have one king to protect,

Dad.

[sigh]

-After all I've taught you, it seems

you still don't get it, do you?

-To be totally honest with you, I probably

felt the same way as Kazuma back then.

-I understand.

-I just couldn't go along with his ideas.

-What about now?

Did you ever find your answer?

-I think so.

-Next time, I'll leave it all up to you.

-(VOICEOVER) Earth Style combined with a reanimation

jutsu.

[gasp]

-Where's Sora?

-Come on.

You have work to do.

It's a tall order.

I hope you're ready.

Huh?

-(VOICEOVER) The scent of earth, coming from the north.

Looks like they got you, Kitane.

Hmm.

Well, I guess there's no point in keeping the others around,

then.

-It would appear that the Limelight has been a failure.

Then the village'll be--

-Time for plan B. I'm putting you into play.

First, that sealing jutsu will have to go.

-Ahhh!

-Release!

[shouting]

[gasp]

-Is that--

-Oh, no!

-Sora!

[growling]

[theme music]

-The defense barrier and reanimation jutsu

have been broken, my lady.

-I see.

Looks like everyone delivered.

What about the jutsu Asuma reported

that could burn down the village?

-Not to worry.

It's been taken care of.

Both their diversion and their main operation

have been completely shut down by our people.

-Beautiful.

Now we just round up the stragglers-- ah!

-Something wrong, my lady?

-What is that red light?

-Next time.

Despair.
