Original subtitles

-What's that?

What the hell's going on?

-Naruto is down there fighting Pain right at this very moment.

-He's what?

-He's fighting Pain?

All by himself?

-Yes.

And he asked that no one interfere.

-Then all we can do now is have faith.

And trust Naruto.

[bark]

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

-There's no mistaking it.

That's definitely Naruto.

-And he's battling Pain all by himself?

-No.

Wait.

Lady Hinata!

-But Naruto's risking his life for our village!

-If you interfere in this kind of a battle,

then you're only going to get in his way.

And doing so will put him at great risk.

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

[theme music]

-Chief Toad and the others.

They were all blown away!

-Ma, we must launch the genjutsu right away.

-Performing the duet in front of everyone

is always so embarrassing.

-Would you quit complaining?

Just do it.

-Yeah, yeah I know.

-Now, this genjutsu requires an enormous amount of Sage jutsu

chakra, so it's going to take a little bit of time

before the jutsu really gets going.

-All right.

I'm gonna go for that five second interval,

so when your chakra is ready, just start the genjutsu.

-Remember.

You only have one shadow clone left

that can make Sage jutsu chakra for you, Naruto, boy.

Once he's gone, you can't use Sage jutsu chakra,

since you can't stay still during a battle

to build up more.

And your Sage mode will only last another five minutes.

-Using shadow clones to help you maintain stillness and make

Sage jutsu chakra was a good idea,

but why didn't you just make a bunch more shadow clones?

-It's like trying to look to the right

and to the left at the same time.

Naruto boy certainly tried, but manipulating Sage jutsu chakra

is simply too hard.

At his current level of proficiency,

two chakra-making shadow clones was his limit.

-And on top of all that, I can only create up to three

more shadow clones for the battlefield.

If I make more than that here, then the ones

manipulating Sage jutsu chakra will get distracted.

-Yes, I see.

Well, either way, prolonging things isn't to our advantage.

-I must say.

You're truly strong, Naruto.

This is the farthest that Pain has ever been pushed.

But no more.

It's over.

Universal Pull.

We're going to end this right now.

FUKASAKU (VOICEOVER): Forgive us, Naruto boy.

Just hang in there.

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

-Don't worry.

I won't kill you.

You are a precious Jinchuriki.

-Did you really think you could hurt me with this move?

You shouldn't underestimate Sage mode.

And now it's my turn to--

-Yes, you're right.

Sage mode is troublesome.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): What's happening?

I'm losing power.

Wait.

I get it.

This guy's ability.

He's sucking all the Sage jutsu chakra right out of me.

-The Nine Tails has now been captured.

FUKASAKU (VOICEOVER): Just a bit longer

and we'll be able to use the genjutsu.

Hang on, Naruto, boy.

-Not yet.

I'm not done.

-You're quite the stubborn one, aren't you?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): That's it.

Not being able to move right now will be just perfect.

-Seems you've accepted your fate.

-I guess you didn't know about this,

but nature energy is really hard to control.

-What is this?

FUKSASAKU (VOICEOVER): That's it.

That Pain took in too much Sage jutsu chakra from Naruto boy

and underwent petrified frog transformation.

-Sage jutsu chakra.

Seems it comes with its fair share of risks.

-All right.

We're finally down to just you.

-Well, unfortunately, that's not correct.

-Huh?

What do you mean by that?

KATSUYU: These Pains are only puppets.

There is another manipulating these Pains from the shadows.

The real Pain.

NARUTO: The real Pain?

-All right.

We're ready now.

Let's do it, Ma.

-Gotcha!

-Geezer Sage!

PAIN (VOICEOVER): I've had enough of that genjutsu.

INO: Shikamaru!

-Ino!

You all right?

-Yeah.

Except Lady Shizune.

-What?

Does that mean she's--

-Dammit, man, does that hurt.

I think every single bone in my body's been broken.

SHIKAMARU: I see.

So that's what happened.

If we'd just been more diligent, then this never

would've happened.

-We can't let Lady Shizune's death be in vain.

It's up to us now to solve the mystery of Pain

that she was working on.

We can mourn her loss after we find him and this is all over.

-Shikamaru.

Settle down and go a little easy now.

-No.

He's right, Shikaku.

The best way to make ourselves useful

is to find the location of the real Pain as soon as possible.

-OK, Inoichi.

But with your jutsu mastery, can't you

catch and trace the enemy's chakra back to its source?

-I already attempted that, but the enemy's

been constantly changing the chakra frequency they use.

A trace back's impossible.

Pain is quite adept.

-Pa, no!

-Bastard.

-Universal Pull.

So tell me.

Did this tame you, at least a little, Nine Tails?

-What are you?

What do you want?

Why?

Why are you doing all this?

-You ask why?

Sometimes things happen randomly,

and the reason only becomes apparent afterwards.

These circumstances, well, perhaps I

can try to explain it to you.

-We'll use Katsuyu as a conduit and gather every piece of intel

from anyone who's ever had any contact with Pain.

Even if they're dead, there may still

be information that we can glean from them.

We'll get answers, even if we have to haul out dead bodies.

INOICHI (VOICEOVER): Haul dead bodies?

-Wait.

I think that I just figured it out.

I know where we can find the real Pain.

-What do you mean?

-Can you lead us to where he's hiding?

-Yes.

In the mind of that ninja, the one from the Hidden Rain

village whom Jiraiya captured.

I saw that he and his partner had

been assigned the duty of transporting bodies.

-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.

-Delivering bodies?

-Right.

And what you said triggered my memory.

Here's the thing, it's basic knowledge

that someone who's transmitting chakra signals

must be as close to the signal receivers as possible, right?

In this case, that ninja and his partner

happened to be transporting bodies

to the tallest of the numerous towers scattered

around the Hidden Rain village.

The very same tower where it was rumored

that Pain was supposedly living.

-But actually, you know, there's a rumor going around

that Lord Pain lives in that tower, there.

INOICHI: Plus, that woman who appeared as one of the Pains,

she looks identical to the one that those two

ninja transported to that particular tower.

So that place is probably the laboratory

where those black, rod-like chakra receivers were implanted

into corpses to create the Pains.

-OK.

So how is that connected to the location where

you think we can find the real Pain?

INOICHI: He needs a location that is the most efficient

for transmitting chakra signals.

And to send out signals the farthest and widest,

the most logical place is the tallest tower in the Hidden

Rain village.

-Of course.

And that means, now that his puppets are here,

the real Pain must be in the highest spot near the Hidden

Leaf village.

-Right.

We'll search each high spot one by one until we find him.

-You asked me why I'm doing all this.

But even if I told you why, I doubt very strongly

that the knowledge would change anything at all.

But let's say that I take the time to explain it to you.

What do you think would happen then?

-I have nothing to say to you.

-My goal is to fulfill the dream even Jiraiya-sensei

was unable to achieve.

As I said earlier, what I want is

to create peace and bring about justice.

-Create peace?

Justice?

Are you kidding?

Give me a break!

You killed my master, and my sensei, hurt my friends,

destroyed my village!

After all of the horrible things that you've done,

don't you dare talk about peace and justice!

-Then tell me.

What is your goal?

-First, I'm gonna kill you, and then I'm

gonna bring peace to the ninja world!

-Oh, I see.

That is noble of you.

That would be justice.

However, what about my family?

My friends?

My village?

They suffered the same fate of this village

at the hands of you Hidden Leaf ninja.

How is it fair to let only you people preach

about peace and justice?

-What the hell are you talking about?

-Once, the Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf had grown too big.

To protect their national interest,

they forced feudal clans to wage war against each other

and profited from it.

Otherwise, the people of the villages would've starved.

As it happened, our little nation and its villages

became the battlefield where the great nations waged their war.

Each time they did, our nation was ravaged and laid to waste.

After many such battles, the great nation stabilized,

but our smaller nation suffered, and it barely recovered.

You and I are both seeking the very same thing.

We both want to achieve the peace

that Jiraiya-sensei envisioned.

You and I are the same.

We're both motivated by our desire for peace and justice.

The justice that I have delivered

against the Leaf village is no different from what

you are trying to do to me.

Everyone feels the same pain when missing something dear.

You and I have both experienced that pain.

You strive for your justice, and I strive for mine.

We're both just ordinary men who have

been driven to seek vengeance in the name of justice.

And, if one comes to call vengeance justice,

such justice will only breed further vengeance,

and trigger a vicious cycle of hatred.

Right now, we live in such a cycle.

I know the past, and can foretell our future.

It is the same as our history.

So we believe that human beings simply cannot understand each

other, and they never will.

The shinobi world of ours is ruled by hatred and hatred

alone.

-However.

Even I'm able to see that there's entirely too much

hate in this shinobi world of ours.

-There's too much hate?

-I've always wanted to do something

about all of this hatred.

I'm just not quite sure how to about it as of yet.

But I truly believe that eventually, the day

will come when all people will understand one another

and live in harmony.

-Boy, it sounds kind of complicated to me.

-And if I can't find the solution to this problem,

then perhaps I'll entrust you to find it instead, eh, Naruto?

-Yes sir.

I can't turn down a request from my master, can I, Pervy Sage?

-So, Naruto.

How would you confront this hatred

in order to create peace?

I want to know what your answer is.

-I don't know.

I don't have an answer.

-But you see, that is why I formed the Akatsuki.

To break the cycle of hatred.

I can put an end to it.

But I need the Nine Tails.

I must have his power in order to achieve that goal.

I'll use the power of all nine beasts

to create a tailed beast weapon many times

stronger than the one that flattened this village.

Strong enough to wipe out an entire nation instantly.

-A tailed beast weapon?

-I'm going to show the world what true pain is

and stop all the wars with the terror that pain will inspire.

I shall lead the world down the road to stability into piece.

-But if you do achieve peace like that,

then the whole thing is nothing but a big lie!

-Human beings are not the most intelligent of creatures.

This is the only way that peace can be achieved.

Of course, after several decades,

that pain too will eventually fade with time.

It will no longer act as a deterrent.

Humanity will return to war again.

This time, they themselves will use the tailed beast weapon

against one another and reconfirm what true pain is.

-And then, for a time, peace will briefly

be restored again, in the course of this endless cycle of hatred

begetting more hatred.

This unbearable pain will give rise to momentary peace.

That is my dream and my goal.

[coughing]

-Nagato.

Please don't push yourself.

You've already spent so much chakra.

-Peace is now within out grasp.

[theme music]

HINATA (VOICEOVER): I'm here because I want to be.

I used to be such a cry baby, always giving up

before I even got a chance to start.

I almost took the wrong path so many times.

You have changed who I am.

Your smiling face saved me, Naruto.

That's why I'm not afraid to protect you.

Even if--

NARUTO: Next time on "Naruto Shippuden."

Confessions.

I will protect Naruto, no matter what!

[applause]

-Hey, Hinata.

-Oh, Sakura.

-What's the deal with the new ending credits?

-Uh, I don't know what you mean.

-How dare you take the place of me, the heroine,

and have the entire ending all to yourself?

-Uh, but I don't know anything about--

-Yeah?

Then explain that!

-Uh--

-What?

Did you bribe the animation staff

to put you in the ending or something?

-No, I wouldn't do such a thing!

-And bicycles?

I mean, come on!

If you're a ninja, then--

-Give it a rest, Sakura.

-Naruto.

-There are fans of Hinata on the staff of the show,

and I guess that they just got a little out of control

this time, that's all.

-And what does that mean?

-Besides, just listen to that song!

They keep repeating bicycle throughout the entire thing,

so the only choice any animator would have

is to put her on a bicycle.

-Hm.

That is true.

But that isn't the point!

Hey, all you animators, make some new ending credits with me

in them, or else!

You hear me, guys?
