‐Wha‐‐ what is this thing?

Is it a jutsu?

‐It's a slug.

‐Lady Tsunade summoned her.

It's Katsuyu.

‐Oh, I'm sorry.

‐I had no idea.

‐Why have you come?

‐Why'd she send you, Katsuyu?

To help us out?

‐That's right.

You see, Lady Tsunade had been concerned

about the effectiveness of the sealing jutsu you were

employing earlier against the tailed beast.

So she sent me along to bring more chakra.

It should help the sealing jutsu.

‐We could really use it.

‐Then I'll transfer it to you immediately.

‐Whenever you're ready.

‐Very well then.

‐That damn Tsunade.

She had to send Katsuyu, didn't she?

More, we need more power, Yukimaru.

[screaming]

‐Naruto, stop.

‐Yeah?

What is it?

‐Will I be forgiven?

I mean, will he forgive me when Yukimaru finds out

that‐‐ that I'm responsible for killing his mom.

‐That's still weighing you down, huh?

‐I'm fully prepared to protect Yukimaru.

It's just that‐‐

‐Think about him, and only him.

He could push you away, despise you.

None of that should matter.

Don't you see?

It's about him.

Who cares if I'm the person he can call home.

The only important thing now is to keep thinking about him.

‐Yeah, I think you're right.

I suppose if you're a fool, that makes me one too, Naruto.

‐Hey, that's not nice.

Let's hurry.

GUREN (VOICEOVER): Yukimaru.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): I feel the power of the Three‐Tails

beneath the surface.

‐It's too big.

I feel like the chakra's going to explode.

‐Such energy.

Without Katsuyu's chakra, my power

alone couldn't sustain this.

‐Listen, if the Three‐Tails falls into Orochimaru's hands

or the Akatsuki's, it will mean the end of the Hidden Leaf

Village as we know it.

But it won't.

Because the Three‐Tails is in our hands now.

We're the only ones who can protect our comrades

in the village from this power.

It's all up to us.

ALL: Right.

‐Listen, Katsuyu.

Is there a way you can amplify your chakra even further?

‐Yes.

I will try my best.

‐We're going to send that beast to the other dimension

right now.

‐I don't believe it.

They're still trying to control the Three‐Tails.

[screaming]

‐Yukimaru.

Come on, kid, rile up that Three‐Tails spirit.

Drive them wild.

Obliterate those pests from the Hidden Leaf.

[screaming]

[theme music]

‐Hey, Sai.

Did those guys attack you too?

‐Yeah.

Unfortunately, they got away with Yukimaru.

[barking]

‐What's this?

‐It must be them.

Let us attack.

‐Hold your horses, Lee.

‐What do you think you are doing, Ten Ten?

We must go seek our revenge.

‐If we rush into that smokescreen,

there's a chance we'll hit each other.

‐Yeah.

Even Akamaru's sense of smell will be useless in that stuff.

[whimper]

‐The best plan of action is to just wait and see what happens.

‐Oh man.

I am so frustrated.

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): It seems the enemy

is using Yukimaru to stir up the Three‐Tails.

If it keeps up, Shizune's sealing team is in danger.

A sticky situation.

And trying to defeat all these clones is impossible.

It's no good.

I can't dodge them all.

[groaning]

‐It's time.

Binding Smoke Prison.

Well, imagine my luck.

I get to bring down the fabled Kakashi of the Hidden Leaf.

It'll make surviving all these years worth it.

What?

‐Although I'm not as skilled as you,

I do know how to use shadow clones.

Lightning Blade.

‐Huh?

‐This is bad.

‐You know what they say, where there's smoke,

there's always fire.

Meet my Smoke Dragon.

‐Smoke has no real form, so Wood Style is useless against it.

Then I guess I'll just have to change up my style.

Water Style, Hand of Waves.

‐What the hell?

‐Smoke is a vapor, and by adding moisture to the mix,

it's too heavy for you to control.

That how to use Water Style.

Now your jutsu is worthless.

[screaming]

‐Take this.

Silly boy, you must have forgotten

that I have a third arm.

‐Hm?

‐I'm afraid play time is over.

Don't bother.

‐Spindle Formation.

‐What?

But how?

‐I admit, your jutsu is quite formidable against my insects.

However, the reason you'll lose is because of your fight

with Hinata of the Hyuga Clan.

I'll explain.

Hinata, may we speak?

‐Shino, what's the matter?

‐I need you to tell me everything

you know about that Crystal Style user.

Any detail will help.

‐Well, unfortunately, her jutsu had no weaknesses.

And if I hadn't surrounded myself with chakra,

I wouldn't be here now.

And speaking of huge chakra, Shino,

you have to be careful of that slimy guy.

He'll be very difficult for you to beat.

‐Why is that?

‐Because his entire body is his jutsu.

That body suit he wears is filled with pure chakra,

and it allows him to alter his form whenever he needs to.

When I used my Gentle Fist against him,

he just twisted his body away like it was nothing.

‐He overcame your Gentle Fist?

‐When I grazed his body with my hand,

I accidentally touched that fluid.

His entire body is covered by some kind

of dangerous mucus‐like substance.

‐So you see, I was tipped off.

Which is why this whole time, I've

been concentrating on scraping that lethal fluid

off your body.

‐Since we started fighting?

‐Yep.

I focused my attacks on making that membrane

as thin as possible.

I assumed if I could weaken it, your jutsu would break easily.

And the way things look, I was right.

[screaming]

‐It's over?

‐Yeah.

‐Took a while, but‐‐

‐Kakashi‐sensei, there you are.

[bark]

‐You are safe.

‐How about you guys?

Are you all OK?

‐Yeah, we made it.

And Naruto?

How'd he do?

‐We haven't found him yet.

‐I'm sorry about Yukimaru.

‐Mm.

All right then, we should head out to assist the sealing team.

‐Yes, captain.

‐Yes.

‐Right.

‐Don't forget, we must recover and protect Yukimaru.

But first, we'll check on the sealing team.

It seems they're in a tough battle.

[roaring]

‐The Three‐Tails, it's here.

‐Ino, you don't need to rush.

Just slow down and focus your mind

on stabilizing your chakra.

‐Right, OK.

[roaring]

‐It's no good.

He's not doing it.

Damn it, it's not enough.

Is that all there is to Yukimaru's massive power?

Oh well, I guess this isn't working anymore.

Heh.

I really didn't want to have to resort to this,

but it looks like it's my only choice.

You ready to give your life for the Great Lord Orochimaru?

Here.

‐Yukimaru.

‐Guren, is he all right?

‐You again.

So you two didn't die after all.

‐Wake up.

What's wrong?

Come on, Yukimaru, snap out of this.

Yukimaru.

Hi.

‐You came back.

Oh Guren, you came back.

It's because I was thinking of you.

Whenever someone is thinking of you,

that's the place you come back to.

‐Yes, that's right.

All you had to do was think of me, and see, I came back.

‐Yeah.

‐When I was inside the Three‐Tails,

trapped in some other dimension, the only thing I thought

of that whole time was you.

And that's why‐‐ and that's why it's

your turn to return to me, Yukimaru.

‐That makes me happy.

I'm coming back home.

You are my home, Guren, the place I can return to

that always welcomes me back with open arms.

[laughing]

‐Yeah, you're right.

At this point, Guren is the only place you can run back to.

After all, your mother's not around for you anymore, is she?

‐Stop.

I think you've said enough.

‐Actually, I wasn't quite finished yet.

Yukimaru, listen to me.

‐Don't you say another word.

‐It's all right, Naruto.

‐What?

No, it's not.

‐It's OK.

We have to face the truth, you taught me that.

‐Guren.

[laughing]

‐So you're prepared then?

How noble of you.

Listen up, Yukimaru.

One person destroyed the place you

used to call home, the same person who

turned that white camellia red with your mother's blood.

The person responsible for killing your mother is Guren.

She seems so nice, but Guren is really a demon.

She hid the truth about killing your mother

and pretended to be your friend just to use you.

She's been using you this whole time.

How does it feel?

Don't you loathe her?

Don't you want to kill her yourself?

Well, no one's going to stop you.

As if we could.

Do it.

Use the Three‐Tails to vent your anger.

Command the Three‐Tails to destroy everything

in your sight.

‐You bastard.

Shut your mouth.

‐Guren.

‐Yukimaru.

I'm sorry, but everything he told you about me is the truth.

‐Listen to me, Yukimaru.

The Guren of the past might have done lots of terrible stuff

in the name Orochimaru, but the Guren you know is different.

I know for a fact, she regrets the way she used to be.

She's so sorry, and now she cares about you.

No matter how much you hate her, she's

going to keep on thinking about you.

She swore to me.

‐No matter what I tell you, or what I do,

I realize that nothing will ever erase the pain

that I've caused in your life.

If you want me to die for what I've done,

I won't stand in your way.

But still, if you could forgive me,

then I‐‐ I swear I'll protect you forever.

‐Guren.

‐Yukimaru.

Are you saying you don't despise me?

‐You're a nice person.

Why would I?

After all, we have a connection.

You're the one I can return to.

And don't you see?

I'm the one that you can return to, Guren.

‐Do you mean‐‐ I promise, for as long as live,

I will keep thinking about you, and I will never

leave your side again.

‐And you'll never leave my thoughts either, Guren.

That's my promise.

From today forward, forever.

I love you, and I always will.

‐Yeah, I love you too.

‐The two of you, together, you'll never be apart.

‐What a complete farce.

You weaklings can get all lovey‐dovey.

But a stupid bond like that will be broken before you know it.

‐Kabuto, it's you.

‐Hello, Naruto.

If you interfere, well then, I'll kill you.

‐Kabuto, you're behind all of this madness?

You're going down!

[theme music]
