-Ah, there you are.

-Huh?

-Every once in a while you disappear, Naruto-boy.

Where do you go?

-Oh, uh, nowhere in particular, really.

I just kind of wander around.

Well, no matter.

-We're going to practice that merging I talked about.

Why don't you come on down?

-I hope they're OK.

-What do you mean?

-I know that the Akatsuki are after me.

Well, I've been worried that they'll

come looking for me in the Leaf village.

-You're a fool.

-Huh?

-There are many distinguished ninja in the Hidden Leaf

village, so stop all of this unnecessary worrying

and concentrate on the work at hand.

Besides, if something were to happen,

they'd send a messenger frog to let us know.

-Hm.

All right.

Then let's try this merging thing!

-I can't believe the damage.

[theme music]

[singing in japanese]

-The era of Lady Tsunade shall come to an end.

However, we cannot allow the Akatsuki to get their hands

on the Nine-Tails, so I've removed that possibility.

We will lay low underground until the chaos above

dies down.

-Should we not provide support?

With all due respect, even if you do assume power,

it would be meaningless if the citizens of the Hidden Leaf

are dead.

-The princess is now Hokage.

As long as she has Katsuyu's jutsu,

the village will not perish.

Certainly there will be lives lost,

but those are necessary sacrifices-- in order

for me to become the next Hokage.

-Ha!

I win.

-Ah.

Nothing tastes better than a drink of sake after work.

-It's no good.

-Tonbo.

Were you able to find out anything?

-Not yet.

Or at least, no clues that are directly related

to Pain in any way.

-The corpse today is light.

-I've developed a knack for this over the years.

I can tell this one's probably a woman.

-The tallest tower in this whole village.

You know, where we always deliver the bodies.

You know what it's for?

-In a village like ours, towers are usually

where the ashes are enshrined.

They were originally built as memorials to honor the fallen.

-If that's the case, then why aren't the relatives allowed

in there anymore?

-How should I know?

-Heh.

-What?

You think you're better than me?

-But actually, there is a rumor going around about that tower,

you know.

That Lord Pain lives there.

-Really?

Interesting.

Ugh.

But there's no way.

-Well, it is just a rumor.

Nothing more.

Never mind.

I'm going to confirm my theory.

You were right.

It's just like you said.

A woman.

-Thank you.

-Oh!

Lady Angel!

-Now quickly.

Go and bring the next one in here.

-Inoichi, you really are amazing.

Scanning half a day of this guy's memories

in less than 30 seconds.

I can barely keep up.

-Fool.

If you have time to talk, then you

should be looking harder for anything related to Pain.

-Sorry for interrupting.

It's me, Shizune.

I was ordered to report here to you guys by Lady Hokage.

-Did you discover something?

-Yes.

I'll share my findings.

By combining my information with the intelligence you're

extracting, we'll figure out who Pain is.

-Summoning Jutsu.

-Each of the Pains had black rods

like this one embedded in their bodies.

We believe that this is the key to explaining their power.

-So then, are they transmitting chakra to each other?

That would make it something like our Yamanaka clan's

secret ninjutsu technique.

-Ninja with the same eyes as the sage of Six Paths.

The legendary Rinnegan-bearing forefather of all ninja.

It they truly exist, it's no surprise

they could use all kinds of jutsu.

-Oh!

-What was that?

-It seems they've shown up here as well.

[growling]

-We'll stop them.

-Wind Style.

Wind Blade Jutsu.

-Lightning Style.

Four-Pillar Trap.

-Earth Style.

Bhudda Fuda.

-Did we get it?

-All right.

This is the final step of sage mode.

We'll now begin merge training.

-Ah, OK.

So, basically, you're just going to sit on my shoulder

and attach yourself to me, right?

-Correct.

While you're in motion, I'll stay still.

And I'll draw in nature energy for you.

This training will help us to hone that merging process.

-Mmm.

-Now, let us begin by synchronizing our breathing.

-Right.

-Ah.

Ahhh!

-Oh-- oh-- are you OK, Geezer Toad?

-How very strange.

All right.

Let's try it one more time.

Sage Art, Amphibian Jutsu.

[growling]

[scream]

-Huh?

-Well, Naruto-boy, it seems it's impossible.

-What do you mean?

-I suspect that the Nine-Tails inside of you

is rejecting me and casting me out, Naruto-boy.

-No way!

Come on!

Then what was all that training for?

What are we going to do now, Lord Fukasaku?

[laughter]

[roaring]

-What?

It's grown more heads.

-Seems like a special type of summoning.

We need to take on the caster rather than face this thing.

-So what should we do now, Shizune?

-Leave it to them.

-Summoning Jutsu.

-Huh?

-Ah!

[roaring]

-What is that?

-As I thought.

This is it.

-It seems I made it in time.

-Lady Katsuyu, thank you so much.

-Please forgive me, Lady Katsuyu.

I'm not used to you.

-Oh, that's all right.

-They are powerful summonings.

Everyone, please be careful.

-There's no mistake.

I saw her inside the memories of that Hidden Rain ninja.

But how can this be?

-What is it?

-When I saw her, she was a corpse.

-(VOICEOVER) And that corpse is now using a summoning jutsu.

But each of the Six Pains is only

supposed to be able to use a single jutsu.

Something's wrong.

According to Lord Fukasaku, the only Pain

that can do summonings is the one I autopsied.

What does this mean?

Lord Jiraiya already defeated the only Pain

with this ability.

Inoichi, please give me more details.

We might be able to figure this out.

-Right now?

But we can't.

-Leave this to the ANBU and me.

Get out of here.

-But Ibiki--

-Quick.

Let's go.

Inoichi, we must uncover Pain's true identity.

We have to hurry and get to the Cipher Division.

We should bring Ino with us so she

can support your jutsu, Master Inoichi.

-All right.

-(VOICEOVER) Ino.

It's me.

Listen closely.

We're going to go to the Cipher Division.

-Let's move out!

[growling]

-You have to get through us first.

[growling]

-So, you have nothing to say, huh?

You're no fun at all.

Huh.

Well, if that's your attitude, then I'm

just going to have to make you talk.

-We'll deal with the dog.

Combination B.

-Right.

-Wind Style.

Wind Blade Jutsu.

-Lightning Style Four-Pillar Trap.

-Earth Style.

Mud Fall.

-Lightning Style.

16-Pillar Trap.

-Fire Style.

Biscuit Firing Jutsu.

-Summoning.

Iron Maiden.

-Summon.

Torture Chamber.

I'll make you loosen your tongue,

and you'll tell us all your secrets.

Pain.

Nice name.

Pain is the most reliable form of communication.

Let me feel your pain, too.

Yes, that's right.

Pain simply cannot tell a lie.

And through pain, we are all equals.

I'm going to share your pain, and through it I

shall learn all about you.

Now, you'll show me who the real you is.

Grr.

Now.

(VOICEOVER) This one isn't feeling any pain.

Ugh.

And, so cold.

Like a corpse.

-Tell me.

Just what is this pain you presume to speak of?

The likes of you could never understand

what true pain really is.

[grunt]

-Summoning Jutsu!

[shouts]

[roaring]

-Summoning Jutsu.

-Huh?

[roaring]

-Ah!

Impossible!

[theme music]

[singing in japanese]

-No, Konohamuru!

Why didn't you run when you had the chance?

-Long ago, I made a promise.

-Huh?

-To fight big brother Naruto for the title of Hokage one day.

He is my rival, so I'm not choosing an escape route.

Because Naruto won't be waiting at the end of that shorter

path.

-Next time on Naruto Shippuden.

Surname is Sarutobe.

Given name, Konahamuru.

-Remember me!

-The documents are really piling up around here.

Oh, well.

I guess I'll have to cancel tonight's date.

Yeah, right.

Like I'd even have a date!

Better get back to work.

-Oy!

-Ninja registration forms.

A lot of this hasn't been updated in a long time.

Ah!

They're all so young!

All these are photos from back in their Rookie 9 days.

And look at how much they've grown

in only a few short years.

Huh?

Ooh, boy.

That troublesome child.

Now I have to have Kenzo retake that picture.

Huh?

Give me a break.

Quit copying such silliness.

Ai-yeeee!
