Original subtitles

-I worked it into the seal spell that I'd appear on your psyche

if it ever happened that the seal unraveled to the point

where you had sprouted the eighth tail.

Truth be told, I'd hoped that it would never get this far,

since I didn't ever want to see you again, Nine-Tails.

[roaring]

-But then--

[gasp]

-I was looking forward to seeing the young man

that my son had now become.

I guess it evens out.

-Mmm.

For the Hokage, come here.

I'll rip you to shreds!

-Well, if that's the case, then I

think that I'll just remain over here.

Wouldn't you agree, Naruto?

-Wait.

You called me Naruto.

You know who I am?

But why?

Why in the world does the fourth Hokage know my name?

-Simple.

I know because I named you.

Because the truth is, you are my son.

-Did you say "son"?

Seriously?

-That's right.

-Like I said before, you are my son.

[laughter]

[growl]

-Four Hokage!

-He's a loudmouth, don't you think?

So let's go somewhere quieter, OK?

[laughter]

-Lord Third Hokage didn't tell you much of anything, huh?

Guess he wanted to suppress as much information

about the Nine-Tails as he could.

If people had found out you were my son,

you would have been in danger.

-Dad.

-Huh?

-Augh!

-Why would you ever want to seal the Nine-Tails

inside of your own son?

Do you have any idea what I went through because you did that?

All of the grown-ups just looked at me

with contempt, or with fear, and I couldn't make any friends.

I just wanted people to accept me, or at least not hate me,

so I trained really hard to become as strong as I could.

Then I met Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, and Pervy Sage.

And I was happy, because they helped make me stronger.

But just when things were looking up,

a group called the Akatsuki came after me.

So then I had to train even harder than I did before.

I got stronger, but couldn't stop the Akatsuki

from killing my friends.

And I just-- I mean I-- I-- I don't

know what I'm saying anymore!

Damn it, am I supposed to be happy or mad?

I don't even know.

[sobbing]

-Naruto.

How old are you now?

-16.

-I see.

16 already.

It must have been hard for you, Naruto.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Though I suppose it's little consolation

if I apologize now, after having put you

through all of that difficulty.

-No.

It's fine.

After all, I'm the son of the Fourth Hokage.

I'll deal.

-Since you asked, I sealed half of the Nine-Tails chakra inside

of you because I believed that you could master this power.

I did it because you're my son.

[gasp]

-There is a reason I went to the trouble to do this.

A big one.

16 years before now, when the Nine-Tails

attacked the village, I learned something.

-What?

-Back then, a mastermind orchestrated

the whole Nine-Tails attack.

-Mastermind?

-Quite a formidable Shinobi.

Someone you'd need extraordinary strength

to stand against and hope to defeat.

I believe he'll attack our village again.

-But the entire Leaf Village has already been destroyed.

-Yeah.

I saw.

From inside your mind.

-What?

You watched that?

-I know about Jiraiya-sensei, Too.

-So, was Pain the one who attacked the village before,

using the Nine-Tails?

-No.

It wasn't him that time.

-Then who was it?

-He was an Akatsuki.

The one who wears that mask.

[gasp]

-When we fought, he saw right through every single one

of my moves.

He was extraordinary.

In fact, I think that he's the one using Pain.

-No way.

You're wrong!

Pain has a grudge against us.

He said that the Hidden Leaf ruined his village a long time

ago.

-That's exactly right.

And that hatred is being used.

-He's really being used?

Someone as strong as he is?

And what about this mastermind mass ninja?

What's he up to?

Why is the Hidden Leaf always a target?

-As long as the Shinobi culture exists,

there may never be true peace and order.

Pain queried you about peace.

But finding the solution is difficult.

-So, Naruto, how would you confront this hatred in order

to create peace?

-In order to try to protect something that's precious,

wars are waged.

As long as there is love in this world, there will also be hate.

And some will take advantage of that hatred.

As long as we have this ninja system,

this monster known as hate will live.

It will give birth to more Pains.

Pain may have actually killed Jiraiya-sensei,

but if you look deeper, then one could even

say that this disordered Shinobi world created Pain and killed

Jiraiya.

To be a ninja means that you must confront hatred.

And every one of us must battle against that hatred.

Jiraiya-sensei bequeathed to you the quest

for the solution that would end this hatred.

-But how can I when I can't find a way to forgive Pain?

There's just no way.

I can't.

-I know.

-Fourth Hokage.

Please tell me!

What should I do?

-You must find that answer for yourself,

because even I don't know it.

-But if you and Pervy Sage don't have a clue about the answer,

how am I ever supposed to figure it out?

Everyone expects too much of me.

I mean, look at me!

I'm not smart.

I'm not a great ninja.

I'm-- I'm just me.

And how's a guy like me supposed--

-I'm certain that you'll be able to find the answer, Naruto.

Because I believe in you completely.

-You do?

Do you really think I can?

-Well, a parent's duty is to unconditionally believe

in their children.

Now, then.

I'm afraid that it's time for me to go.

My chakra is starting to fade.

-Huh?

No.

Don't go.

-I'll rebuild the seal now.

But this will be the last time.

[gasp]

-And the Hidden Leaf can be rebuilt.

Naruto, you can do it.

-(VOICEOVER) Thanks, Dad.

[theme music - in japanese]

[roaring]

-He's actually digging himself out of planetary devastation.

What incredible power.

I'm going to have to increase its size,

then-- the Nine-Tails disappeared.

Oh!

His doubt has been erased.

What's happened?

Has he already mastered it?

Does he now control the Nine-Tails?

[coughing]

-Nagato, no!

[coughing]

-(VOICEOVER) The transformation into the Nine-Tails disturbed

my chakra.

It made me lose my last Shadow Clone at Mount Myoboku.

That means I can only use the Sage Jutsu

chakra I have left inside me.

-(VOICEOVER) He's already in Sage Mode.

He's tough.

I had to confirm the extent of the Nine-Tails power,

but I never imagined planetary devastation wouldn't stop him.

--[gasp] I thought I was going to die.

-Wait, what's that?

The village is over that way.

What is--

-You did that, Naruto.

When you were in Nine-Tails state.

-(VOICEOVER) Did I kill Hinata, and all the people of the Leaf

village?

-She's alive.

I can sense Hinata's chakra.

-I was quite worried, but no casualties

resulted from your assault even though you

were in full Nine-Tails state.

We were lucky.

-Oh, thank goodness.

You don't know what a relief that is.

-Naruto--

-No!

Lady Hinata.

-Her injuries don't appear fatal,

but she needs treatment right now.

-I'll look for a medical ninja right away.

-The Hidden Leaf village is under attack by the Akatsuki,

but I can't move anymore.

Hurry up.

They need your help.

-Can't believe things are this bad.

-Look.

There's a wounded toad here, too.

-The time has come for us to end this.

Do you finally comprehend pain?

Unless you come to know the same pain,

you cannot truly comprehend someone else.

And even if you comprehend them, you still

may not ever agree with them.

That is the truth.

That is the reason it's useless for you to chase after Sasuke.

-Enough of this.

Just take me to where the real Pain is.

I want to talk to him face-to-face now.

-Enough of this.

Just take me to where the real Pain is.

I want to talk to him face-to-face now.

-So, you figured that part out, did you?

First Jiraiya-sensei and now you as well.

You Leaf Ninja are really quite impressive.

But our discussion's over.

Further conversation will change absolutely nothing.

-I just want to discuss something with him.

-You're in Sage Mode now.

I believe that you are limited to generating only two

of those bothersome chakra shuriken at a time.

Isn't that so?

And that causes your Sage Mode to run out.

-I guess I have no choice but to fight you, huh?

-If both of your shuriken should miss,

the only possible outcome is that you shall lose.

You'll have no more chances.

I will take you almost to the point of death

and haul you off.

-Well, that's too bad.

I'll find the real Pain myself, then.

-But how are you going to do that?

-I've got an idea.

[groan]

-Hmm?

He-- he reverse tracked me using Sage Mode.

-Ha!

I found him!

-You bastard.

[grunt]

-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Now, smoke bombs!

Right!

(VOICEOVER) Here comes the first shuriken.

-Almighty Push!

-(VOICEOVER) He'd already launched the second one using

Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!

-The window is five seconds.

I can do this!

-(VOICEOVER) Four seconds to go.

He'd already prepared and hidden those Shadow Clones.

Only three more seconds until I can launch my next jutsu.

But, two shots, both missed.

It's over.

-What is this?

-We still have two seconds.

Go!

-(VOICEOVER) The rubble!

It's all Shadow Clones!

One more second!

Zero!

-Ah!

-He's using Shadow Clones as backup?

[grunts]

-You, with no answers and no solutions.

Just give up!

[grunting]

-But I truly believe that the day

will come when all people understand one another,

and live in peace.

If I can't find a solution to this problem,

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

-I'm certain that you'll be able to find the answer.

Because I believe in you completely.

-It's because I truly believe that you

are the only Shinobi who can surpass the Fourth Hokage.

-He withstood that?

Can't be.

-(VOICEOVER) He can't throw that jutsu.

I've got five seconds.

This distance will keep me safe.

-Look, Pain, just give up on trying to make me give up.

[shouts]

[theme music]

-The fact that you're here-- does

that mean that you won out against the Sixth Pain?

-It doesn't really matter who won or who lost.

-Tell us what happened.

-It's not really important.

I'm on my way to see the real Pain right now.

And please don't try to follow me.

I want to go alone.

-Alone?

-Next time, on Naruto Shippuden.

The Two Students.

There's something I want to confirm with him.

-Yamato's Room has been renamed Guy's Room.

Hello, everyone.

This is your idol.

Me.

Might Guy.

Our guest today is the pride of the Leaf Village. [inaudible].

-Hello, sir--

-Oh, come on.

Don't be so bashful.

Not on my show.

-Oh, uh--

-She's extremely introverted and shy.

Her hobby is pressed flower art and she

loves cinnamon rolls and sweet bean jam.

Ah, forget the script.

I'll just ask you whatever comes to mind.

That's what a hip, lively interview is all about.

-Huh?

-Oh, by the way, you've really matured lately.

Are you in love?

Is that it?

[mumbling]

-All right, then.

Just look into the camera and tell us

all that's in your heart!

-Oh, but I couldn't--

-If you're too shy, then I'll help you.

-But I just don't think--

-OK, love confession time.

Let's do this.

In three, two, one, go!

-Ahhhh!

No, I can't!

-Ahh!

I'm OK.

[giggle]
