-Lady Tsunade.

The defense barrier and the reanimation jutsu

have been defeated, and the area around the main gate

is beginning to return to normal.

Furthermore, the lightning jutsu that Asuma spoke about

in his report, the one that threatened

to incinerate the village in an instant,

has been disabled before it could be activated.

-Very well, then.

What's that?

That red light?

[groaning]

-Sora!

[theme music]

-What is it, Asuma-sensei?

What's happening to him?

-I don't know.

[laughter]

-That's right, Sora.

Get angry.

Get angry!

Channel all that anger into real power.

Use your hate to smash the people of the Leaf.

To crush them into dust.

-Stop saying that.

I'll never do these things you want me to do.

I wasn't brought into this world for that.

-Of course you were!

Your life's purpose is to serve the cause

of unifying the Land of Fire.

And the time has finally come when

your powers are required, Sora.

-I don't understand a word of this.

What's this guy talking about?

-Wait a minute.

-Asuma!

-Kazuma!

-It is you.

But it can't be.

[laughter]

-Asuma-sensei.

Tell me, what is it?

Do you know this guy?

-I do.

He was one of the Guardian Shinobi 12.

-Well, whatever.

I don't care who you are.

What did you do to Sora?

-I just made use of this scraps you left behind.

That's all.

-What did you say?

-You see, Sora is a lot like you.

-No!

Stop!

[screaming]

-Sora!

-Naruto!

-What is this?

What is this pain?

Is it true, then?

Am I really turning into the-- the Nine Tails?

-But how?

How on earth did you do it to him?

-Heh, heh, heh.

You should know about it far better

than I. Have you forgotten the Nine Tails' attack on the Leaf

that ended with the Nine Tails being sealed

in the body of an infant, at the cost of the Fourth Hokage's

life?

This meant the Leaf possessed the power of the Nine Tailed

Fox.

Not wanting to be outdone, we seized the opportunity.

We gathered up all the scattered remnants

of the chakra left behind after the Nine Tail's rampage.

We nurtured it, and then, five years later,

implanted it in Sora.

-Monster!

But Sora is your own--

-Yes.

What of it?

Were we to sit by while the Leaf gained

such an advantage in power?

No.

We needed to find such power ourselves,

in order to protect our king.

Is that so wrong?

-Naruto, what are you--

-I knew it.

That's right.

All along.

Yeah, I knew it.

And yet I-- that voice-- I knew it

had to be Sora's voice, crying out.

So why?

Why didn't I do anything about it back then?

After all, I was the one, the only one who could really

understand the pain behind those cries.

It was the same back at the temple, too.

Eyes all around him, watching him.

Those cold, hateful eyes.

Silently saying, go away.

Get out of here.

It was the same for me.

I know what it's like.

I felt those same eyes, watch me.

-Naruto.

-Grown ups' eyes, with stares that stab you like daggers.

Those eyes.

I know those eyes really well.

-What does all of that matter now?

-Eyes like those, looking at us like

we're not human, but freaks that belong in a cage.

And all the time, you're trying to exploit us

for your own twisted ends!

It was the same way with Gaara.

You people-- don't you ever stop to think how we might feel?

And now Sora.

Sora.

Who gave you the right to put that monster inside of him?

Why?

Why did you have to do that to Sora?

-Enough of this.

-Naruto!

-Sora.

-Stay away from me!

All of you, stay away from me.

It won't work anymore.

I won't be fooled by you.

Killing my father, and then thinking you can be my friend?

And all your talk of my special powers.

You tricked me!

-Sora.

-I told you, stay away!

No matter what you say, you're still just another one

of the Leaf, aren't you?

I can't trust you!

-Wait.

What's happening now?

[screaming]

-Wait a minute.

What's going on?

This is impossible.

Why is Sora-- That's the Nine Tails Cloak.

-Can it be?

His cells are actually becoming one

with the cells of the Nine Tails.

[screaming]

-What is this?

-Something terrible has been set in motion.

-Unlike the case with your Jinchuriki,

the Nine Tails' chakra is too powerful for Sora's body.

For the past 10 years, I've had to maintain the balance

by suppressing the chakra with a sealing juts.

But now, the seal has been released

and the balance has been lost, with the inevitable result

that Sora's body is being taken over.

Once the ninth tail appears, he'll no longer be Sora at all.

Our simulated Nine Tails will have become the real thing.

-Why, you--

-That's right.

I forgeit my body to the Fox.

And I do it gladly!

-Sora--

-A small price to pay for the power to smash the world.

-Stop this!

Sora!

-Wood Style!

Dome Wall!

SAKURA: Naruto?

-It's Sakura.

-Naruto!

-Asuma.

-Captain Yamato.

-What on earth was that red light we saw?

Is that-- it looks like--

-No doubt about it.

It's the Nine Tails cloak.

-Not only that, it's Sora.

-What did you say?

-Good.

Well done, Sora.

Show them more.

Give them a taste of your real power.

-Fight it, Sora.

Fight it!

Don't let it out!

-Why don't you shut up?

-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

-Naruto!

-Where ya been, Shikamaru?

-You're sure about this, then?

-Is Akamaru's nose or mine ever wrong?

It's not just Sora out there.

Asuma-sensei and Naruto are with them as well.

And there's the trace of another scent.

Someone not from the village.

-The enemy?

What in the world was that?

-Watch out!

Naruto, are you all right?

-Yeah.

-That was a little too close.

-Do I really have to do everything?

-You fight me now, Kazuma.

-Hey, Captain Yamato?

Can't you control that Nine Tails chakra,

like you did with me on the bridge?

-I was able to restrain the chakra in you because you're

wearing the necklace of the First Hokage.

I can't do that with Sora, because he's not.

[screaming]

-Sora, no!

-No?

It's still like that, huh?

You never wanted me, or needed me!

-It was never like that!

We just don't want you to let that power loose.

We can't let you do it!

-And why is that?

Only because I'm the one who has it?

This power you fear so much is the only thing I trust now.

-Sora.

-At last, I'll have revenge on everyone

who ever made me an outcast!

-Naruto?

-I'm so tired of this power.

Of so many people getting hurt by it.

[groaning]

-Not that long ago, I even hurt Sakura with it once.

-The person who injured Sakura, it was you, Naruto.

If you continue to rely on its power,

not only will you hurt yourself, Naruto,

you'll be endangering the lives of those around you, as well.

-And that's why I can't let you do it.

I can't let you hurt anyone else with this power of ours!

-What do you mean, ours?

You don't know the first thing about it!

-I know everything about it!

You really didn't know that the Nine Tails within you

was created from the Nine Tails within me?

-Within you?

What are you saying?

-That I'm the Jinchuriki.

-What are you talking about?

No.

-Sora--

-No.

Stay back.

All your words-- you can't trick me.

You won't trick me!

-Shadow Possession Jutsu complete.

-Shikamaru.

Choji.

-Ino!

-They're here.

-What's this?

More friends come to save you?

-Go for it, Choji.

-Right.

Partial Expansion Jutsu!

Both hands!

-Get off!

Get off me!

-Yeah!

He got him!

-Now he won't be able to get away.

-It can't be right.

Doesn't make sense.

If you've really got the Nine Tails inside you,

how can you have so many friends?

You should be an outcast.

Why aren't you alone?

Like I've been?

Like I've been all these years?

-It was the same with me, too.

Once.

When I was little, for the most part I was left on my own.

But even then, you see, I didn't have the time to be lonely.

I was too busy getting people to notice me.

And it finally worked.

Yep.

I made friends like these.

Good friends.

-I have no friends.

I have no friends at all.

-You're wrong.

I'm-- I mean, all of us are your friends.

-Huh?

[groaning]

-Too hot!

-Choji!

Ino!

-Right, I'm on it.

Ninja Art, Mind Transfer Jutsu!

-Did she do it?

[scream]

-What is it?

-Are you all right?

-Ino!

What happened with the mind transfer?

-There was-- there was no human consciousness left in him.

-What?

-I'm afraid I've hit the wall, too.

[growling]

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Oh, no.

The third tail.

[theme music]

SAKURA: Captain Yamato, something's wrong with Naruto.

YAMATO: Don't tell me his Nine Tails

chakra is starting to emerge, too?

SAKURA: Oh, no.

YAMATO: That's all we need, him going on the rampage again.

SAKURA: But how can this be happening?

He's still wearing the First Hokage's necklace, isn't he?

YAMATO: Something's different this time.

The necklace isn't helping.

Blast!

What's going on?

My jutsu won't work!

NARUTO: Next time, Resonance.
