-No way, you keep out of this.

I'll save Sora all by myself.

[theme music]

--[laughing] Seems like Sora has intimidated the real

Jinchuriki.

-Restore him back to normal.

-It's too late now.

Soon the Nine Tails will break free

and the Leaf will be destroyed.

-I'll stop it.

-You can try.

As for me, I wash my hands of the mater.

-Oh, no you don't.

-Sora!

I got rid of him.

I told the Nine Tails to get lost.

And I did it by borrowing your strength.

Now listen, you can do it too if I loan you some of mine.

So come on and get it!

-Sora, snap out of it.

Wake up already.

-Naruto.

You OK?

Hang on, Naruto.

Let me heal you.

-Damn it.

She doesn't have time to be healing him now.

Sakura, look out!

-Everyone run!

-Is everyone OK?

-Yeah.

-We are all right.

But then, what about Sakura and Naruto?

[growling]

-Naruto.

-Sakura, you OK?

-Yeah.

-That's good.

-Never mind about me now.

Please let me heal you.

-I'll be fine.

After all, aren't you the one who's

always talking about what amazing recuperative powers

I've got.

Sora is our main concern now.

I've got to get him back.

No matter what, you have to heal him first, OK?

-Naruto.

All right.

-Sora.

-Naruto!

-I'm all right.

Sakura, go on, join the others.

This is between Sora and me.

-Right.

Ahhh!

-Any luck?

I couldn't get it to heal with my medical ninjutsu.

-As I thought, it's the same as when you were hurt, Sakura.

Wounds from the Nine tails chakra

just take longer to heal.

That pain, like sharp needles, will remain for a little while.

-I'll be OK.

-So what then?

Does this mean Naruto is the only one who

can ever control that guy?

-That seems to be the case.

-No way.

-Naruto.

-If only-- if only I'd finished the job back then,

this wouldn't have happened to Sora.

-Really?

I would think you'd be glad that wasn't

you who killed his father.

-Not this time.

That won't be the case this time.

-The Hokage's orders again?

-No!

I can't forgive you.

For what you've done to your son, you'll get no mercy.

-All of this father and son nonsense.

You fool, there'll be no need for that

in the new Land of Fire.

-Yes there will.

There will always be a need for that.

-I will change this land, this world, everything.

But to do that, there needs to be one king.

-Wrong!

-You're the one who's wrong.

Terribly wrong.

-Ninja art super beast scroll.

-What the hell?

-So tell me?

The hospital let you out for a stroll?

-I had trouble sleeping what with all the commotion

in the village.

-Isn't that a shame?

Now then, you and I can have a nice leisurely chat, Kazuma.

-Ha, save your breath.

We have nothing more to say to each other.

-Sora!

Stop doing that.

It hurts.

Come on, Sora.

Try and remember.

Remember when we first met each other?

Remember how you and I got into it with each other?

Remember the time in the cave when

you came and helped me out?

[crying]

-Sora.

Sora.

Sora.

Sora.

Sora!

Come on.

Both of us have been mistaken from the beginning.

We were both wrong about what a king really is.

-There was no mistake.

I made no mistake!

[moaning] But if I die, what will

happen to the Land of Fire?

-Nothing at all will happen.

-That would be funny.

-I don't remember my dad's face very well.

But still, I'll never forget that spotted sash he wore.

To me, my father is that dazzling white light itself.

Now, when I think back on him, that's always what I see.

-Kasuma.

Your reasons were--

-Listen to me.

Sora.

Who is that?

-Sora!

-Oh, it's only Naruto.

-Calm down, OK.

Why don't we knock it off?

It's me that you keep hitting, you idiot?

-Why does he always have to be so damn loud?

-Are you all right, Sora?

-Naruto, why did you-- you little

idiot, when are you going to stop butting in?

-As long as I'm here, I guess I'll give you a hand.

-Always meddling.

-OK, Sora, what's this all about?

What's going on between you and Asuma Sensei?

-Nothing.

Get off me, you jerk.

-The most annoying person ever.

-What it is now?

-What in the world is going on up there?

-It must be-- Captain Yamato, Sora looks different than

Naruto did when he--

-Yes, you're right.

It's only a theory, but I suspect

Sora's body isn't strong enough to hold the Nine Tails much

longer.

It's chakra has grown far too powerful.

It's seeking to escape his body.

-But that means--

-Sora.

All that power.

That kind of power won't do you any good.

That isn't real strength.

Let us be your strength.

Me, all of us in the Leaf, we've got all the power you need.

-Naruto!

-Lady Tsunade.

-Shizune, we're going out.

-Right.

-What is it?

Is that the Nine Tails?

-What an incredible amount of chakra.

-What now?

-What is it doing?

-Something's not right, that's for sure.

-Captain Yamato?

-Although it freed itself from Sora's body,

it apparently needs to find another human vessel in order

to maintain its form.

-But then--

-Sora.

Sora, you OK?

Hey, can you hear me?

Come on.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up, Sora.

-What is it?

Who's there?

Is somebody-- is somebody calling me again?

NARUTO: Sora!

--[cuckles] Don't you ever shut up, Naruto?

-So you're finally awake.

-Naruto.

-Hey, are you ready to go home or what?

-Are you joking?

I don't have a home anymore.

Where am I supposed to go?

-What are you talking about.

Here, of course, the Leaf Village

is your home now, buddy.

-The Leaf?

You mean the same village that I just tried to destroy?

-That's ancient history.

You're our friend.

Get that through your head.

That's right.

We're friends.

You got that?

Don't let anybody ever tell you differently.

-I'm your friend?

-You bet.

-You OK?

-Sure, they're fine.

-Do you mind if I'm a part of this too?

-No way, Sai.

Beat it.

-But I thought--

SAI (VOICEOVER): Now, what was funny about that.

-Naruto, you're terrible.

-My friends.

-So you're really not going back to the fire temple?

-No.

I think I want to see a bit more of the world

and meet different kinds of people,

and make, or try to make, new friends like you have.

-Good plan.

-Be sure and come back once in a while, K?

You know you'll always be welcome here

in the Leaf Village.

Don't ever forget that.

-That's right any time.

-Thanks a lot.

So long.

Would you tell old Asuma goodbye for me?

-Got it.

-Oh, and the next time you see me, I'll have though of a name

you can use for the afterlife.

-Hey, wait a sec.

I found out that afterlife means after your dead.

--[laughing] Took you long enough, you idiot.

See ya.

-Really?

The climbing silver move?

Right off the bat like that?

Whoa, what's your hurry?

Let's take our time.

Why rush?

-To penetrate the enemy's line, sometimes you

have to be willing to risk a bold move.

-But I thought you always hated risky moves like that, just

like me.

-To defend your king from a superior opponent,

one must make some sacrifices.

-What's going on with you?

-Oh, nothing.

Nothing to speak of.

It's just that I'm finally coming

to understand the true importance of the king.

-Well, sure.

You lose the game if your king is taken.

It's over.

-If I were picking pieces to represent Leaf shinobi,

you know what?

I'd say you are most like the knight.

-Why's that?

-It's not the most powerful piece on the board,

but it can leap over any of the others.

It's a unique ability.

It reminds me of how flexible your mind is.

-OK, which one are you?

-Me, oh, I'm nothing.

I'm just--

-A sacrificial pawn, huh?

-Done.

Do you know which one the king is?

-Huh?

Um, well, the Hokage, right?

-Yeah, that's what I used to think too.

But that's not the case.

-Then, who is it?

-You'll know the answer when the time comes.

HIDAN: Quick on your feet, aren't you?

Hm, then again, my attack speed is the slowest

and my aim is the worst among all the Akatsuki.

-I see.

I knew you must be Akatsuki.

HIDAN: She's all yours.

-Still you're pretty good, I'll grant you that.

-Careful, Hidan she's the Two Tails Jinchuriki host.

Underestimate her and she'll kill you.

-Oh honestly.

Come on, Kakuzu, personally there's

nothing I'd like better than to be killed.

[theme music]

SHIZUNE: Lady Tsunade, we just received a report

from Kakashi who'd been trying to make contact

with Master Jiraiya.

TSUNADE: Well, finally, what does he say?

SHIZUNE: He's verified that the same pair of shinobi

have carried out attacks on seven different villages

in five neighboring lands.

TSUNADE: A pair, huh?

SHIZUNE: Yes, my lady, and while there's

been no incursion into the Land the Fire as yet,

Kakashi believes it's only a matter of time.

-I see.

So they've shown their hand.

NARUTO: Next time, "The Quietly Approaching Threat."
