Original subtitles

-Kakashi.

- If even the faintest scent still

lingers from when Sasuke was here.

-Yeah, that's right.

No way we're giving up after coming this far.

- We'll just keep searching until we

can't find any trace of his scent.

-Byakugan.

Nothing.

We have to find him.

-Sasuke.

[whine]

-Yeah, I know it.

There's no trace of it.

His scent is gone.

-Damn it.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Where did you go?

We've done all we could, but now it's

time we went back to the Hidden Leaf.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sasuke.

[theme music]

TOBI: What are you doing?

The preparations are already completed.

- Whenever I look upon the full moon,

it takes me back to that night.

Memories.

I've been trying so hard to forget.

I can finally recall things about Itachi.

Faint memories that were buried deed in my heart

and now floating back up to the surface.

-By all means, flee.

Cling to your retched life.

And when you possess the same eyes as me, come and face me.

-No, wait!

-I saw him crying then.

I thought I'd imagined it.

I didn't realize it.

It seems that what you told me is the truth after all.

-So what about Itachi's eyes?

You going to transplant them?

-No, I won't.

What Itachi wanted to see, and what

I will see from here on out, will be completely different.

I can't do what Itachi wished me to.

I will restore the Uchiha clan in my own way.

- So, um, I needed to talk to you, Kisame.

- First, it was Zetsu and now you're

coming around bothering me?

I actually thought you were dead, Tobi.

- It turns out that you will be the last to know.

I'm sorry that I had to deceive you, the person closest to me.

-So that's how it is.

I had no idea.

I never would have guess you were Tobi, but I'm relieved.

If you're the one pulling the strings,

that makes it easier for me former Lord Mizukage.

I mean, Madara.

TOBI: I shall continue to count on you, Kisame.

-The same goes for me.

So Itachi is out, and now this little brother joins up.

What an interesting turn of events.

- We, the Taka, will destroy the Leaf.

-Easier said than done.

So how?

What's your plan?

- We are going to kill the elders,

the others are of no concern to me.

- If you aim high the ones below will shield them.

It's not going to be easy as you seem to think.

And you four Taka don't have the strength

to handle this kind of thing by yourselves.

-Ah, listen, Kisame.

You really shouldn't make the mistake of underestimating us.

We still haven't settled that little game of ours

we started the other day.

So let me show you my real...

-Stop it, Suigetsu.

Enough.

- Sasuke, you haven't trained them very well.

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): He stopped me with just his arm.

-Suigetsu, are you that stupid?

This isn't the time or place.

- My objective is that sword of his, Samehada.

I've been traveling with Sasuke only

so I can get my hands on that thing.

-All right, Sasuke.

What now?

-Fine by me.

Do whatever you feel you have to, Suigetsu.

But know this, you cannot win against him yet.

KISAME (VOICEOVER): Yet, huh?

- Gee, thanks a lot for the vote of confidence, Sasuke.

Have a little faith.

I'll treat you to some tasty shark's fin.

- The Akatsuki is low on manpower right now.

We should avoid unnecessary skirmishes.

- The pot shouldn't be calling the kettle black, you know.

- We share common interests so from here on,

Taka will little work together with the Akatsuki.

-Oh, is that right?

And just what's in it for us?

-A tailed beast.

-Tailed beast?

-You don't know about them?

-Of course we do.

They're enormous amounts of chakra

that physically manifest as beasts, like the Nine Tails,

and they're held within hosts...

-So what does that mean?

-They're chakra monsters.

Long ago, the first Hokage collected several of them

and kept them under his control.

Each time a great ninja war threatened,

he used them to maintain the power balance distributing them

to other lands, starting with the five great nations as proof

of alliances.

You could call them the ultimate chakra weapons.

Not a bad proposition, is it?

-How generous of you.

- However, if you betray the Akatsuki, you will die.

- There are nine of the tailed beasts in this world.

And the Akatsuki has collected six of them so far.

Only three remain.

- Taka and the Akatsuki will split up

to hunt the last three.

That is our immediate goal.

- You don't have the Nine Tails yet, do you?

-Taka will captured Eight Tails.

The Akatsuki will hunt the other.

That means Naruto.

-Well?

TOBI: It went perfectly.

-That's good to hear.

- Itachi is dead, so our eyesore is finally gone.

And now, we need no longer keep our pack

to stay away from the Hidden Leaf.

-Such a long wait.

- But now, we can proceed according to plan.

It was worth the wait.

Itachi had placed insurance in Sasuke, the Amaterasu.

- Itachi believed no one knew the truth about him,

so why would you go to such lengths?

- True intentions aside, he probably

feared I would try to recruit Sasuke,

and wanted to guard against such an eventuality.

- But whoever would have thought that the Akatsuki would

have to lose so many members just to get to this point?

-We face trouble at every turn.

But everyone made a valuable contribution

in their own way, Deidara.

Sasori.

Hidan.

Kakuzu.

Without them we wouldn't have gotten as far as we have.

And thanks to them, everything is following my plan.

Most importantly, I claimed Sasuke and won him over.

- So, where is this Eight Tails guy?

- You don't know who you're messing with.

We're not going to say anything, not to the likes of you.

We of the Yotsuki clan are stronger than that.

We don't betray one of our own.

Never.

- A fearful heart is more likely to crack.

-Suigetsu, enough.

He's under Sasuke's genjutsu now.

- Aw, I was just getting to the fun part.

- Give me the location of the Eight Tails.

- He's busy training at Unraikyo, Storm Cloud ravine.

-And what does he look like?

He's the wielder of many blades, eight blades.

He has steel tattooed on his right shoulder and bull horns

on his left cheek.

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): That's just great.

Those eyes of his have improved.

All that's going to do is make him even more difficult

to deal with.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Oh wow, Sasuke has gotten even cooler.

JUGO (VOICEOVER): It's nice here.

I think I'll be able to keep myself under control.

I feel so calm.

[footsteps]

-Oh, my sight.

Light, too bright.

Noon already?

Damn it, man.

No fooling, you fool.

Training all morning, my belly's starving.

I'm a rap loving guy.

I got me a hunch that I just decided on sukiyaki for lunch.

Yeah.

Hm?

- Are you the Jinjuriki host of the Eight Tails?

- That's Lord Eight Tails Sir, to you.

No, wait.

You say, are you Lord Jinjuriki, sir?

Got it?

-I'm here to capture you.

-Un-huh.

Now here is what you say.

Freeze, let me capture you, sir, please?

You got it?

-Suigetsu, take the right.

Jugo take the left.

Karin, behind me, cover my back.

-Let's see now.

I'm in the midst of my rhymes, y'all are busting my time.

Now, I gotta spit my line, fools.

You fools.

- We're not supposed to kill the Jinjuriki, you know.

Remember what the Akatsuki told us, Suigetsu?

-Don't worry.

I feel his chakra loud and clear.

Damn it, talk about a showy diversion.

-Come on.

- Only one who gets to dig me, is me, yo.

So stand back and stay back or you're gonna get whacked, fool.

Yah.

-Just step back, Suigetsu.

-I am peeking at you.

See you're not quite through, but in all your crew,

your brain cells are few.

-Stop joking around.

Blood lust bravery makes me go ballistic.

Knowing you can't stop me makes me optimistic.

My blades goin' round and next you're going down.

Come on and get your fill of my sweet and awesome skills.

Yah.

My powers are flashin'.

Still more in my stash.

Eight Tails, that be me, the rappin' Killer B. Yah.

This battle, you initiated, but I'll leave you humiliated.

Before you get disintegrated... ow.

Bit my tongue.

-What's up with this guy?

He's completely crazy but he still

managed to take down Jugo.

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): First he blocks my executioner's blade

and then he wields it like he owns it.

What is this guy?

- You made me bite my tongue, fools.

[groaning]

KARIN (VOICEOVER): You all right?

-Yeah.

-I'll handle this.

- Just who in the hell are all y'all fools.

You fools.

-Would you shut up all ready.

You're getting on my nerves.

-Yo, who are ya?

Why you want to capture me?

What's the deal, yo?

- I'm under no obligation to tell you.

- Why do we have to fight such a weird rhyming

guy in the first place anyway?

This whole thing is a pain.

- It's to obtain more power as quickly as possible.

If you don't like it, leave.

-Pf.

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): That's your prerogative.

- And I also want to confirm the Akatsuki's promise,

whether they're pledge to give us the tailed beast is true.

Regardless, we are the ones who are

going to use the Akatsuki, not the other way around.

So all of you, keep that in mind.

KILLER B (VOICEOVER): Akatsuki?

-Yes, of course.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Oh, you are so cool, Sasuke.

I knew that he would never let himself be used as a pawn.

- OK, let's do this and shut up this witless pain in the ear.

-That is the plan.

[theme music]

- Your illusions, I'll obliterate,

and you, I shall annihilate.

My true mode as the tailed beast abode is that of a monster.

See, I told ya, transformation, yah.

Eight Tails will make you pee your pants,

you little ants. To spare my foes,

I was born a glorious longhorn.

Ya.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Such Chakra, is this even possible?

JUGO (VOICEOVER): Next time on Naruto Shippuden, "The Eight

Tails versus Sasuke."

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): That's his true form?
