Original subtitles

[Foo] It appears to be a jutsu,

where a plant-like clone with no chakra latches onto a life form.

And then feeds on that host's chakra.

[Torune] That's why even you didn't notice it.

[Foo] Most likely a ninjutsu by that Akatsuki at the Summit.

And?

The other one? The one who's been following us?

He's still tailing us, and I think I know who he is.

the Hidden Mist Byakugan wielder.

That one eh?

There.

It'd be a stroke of luck if he falls for this.

[Torune] Those traps of yours are quite special.

It'll work.

Whether he survives or dies, We must make sure to get his right eye.

Yes, sir!

Kisame Hoshigaki.

Pleased to meet you after the fact.

Ki-sa-me... Ho-shi-ga-ki.

You've got ink in your mouth. So The rumors are true. you really are an octopus boy.

Now get ready, 'cause I'm gonna make you weep! You sharky creep!

Wheeee!

A Tailed Beast cloak, with only seven chakra tails!

That means he's not completely serious yet!

Hey, did you know?

Did I know what?

In the wild, octopi eat sharks!

That blade dodged him!

Bee!

That blade siphoned off Bee's chakra again, and it's grown even bigger!

It appears that this time, the shark shall devour the octopus.

That sword Sharkskin's got a big appetite, and it's a speed-eater.

But it can only devour six tails' worth of chakra at a time, huh?

If that's the situation with this version, my next version should do the trick.

This is the first time Samehada has ever grown this big before,

and the delight it's feeling isn't trivial, either.

What'll you do, Bee?

[Eight-Tails] I'll help. Enter Tailed Beast State!

[Mizukage] Based on the marking pattern here,

Ao's that way. Let's hurry ahead quickly.

Yes, ma'am!

The Tailed Beast vs. The Tailless Tailed Beast

You need to watch over my body soon, Torune.

A booby-trap, huh? It's one of Danzo's.

Uhh??

What?! Why am I seeing my own body?!

'Cause I got you.

What's going on?

Mind Transfer Puppet Curse Jutsu.

Damn it! That object curses whoever attacks it, activating a Mind Transfer Jutsu!

That's right. Your consciousness is sealed inside that puppet.

I'm in possession of your body.

And now I will retrieve what's ours.

Of course, I should have known.

Forget it. Only we Hidden Mist ANBU, the Shinobi Tracking Unit, can undo that Barrier Ninjutsu.

The Mist will do anything to protect this precious Byakugan.

Don't think you'll reclaim it easily.

So it automatically activates when danger threatens the eye, huh?

That's quite an appropriate jutsu for one of your kind.

The Undertaker Squad.

And I didn't think it would be easy.

Taking your eye means that I, as the jutsu caster, will lose my eye as well. You know that.

That was Danzo's order? What does he think his subordinates are?

[Foo] If the Mist's military power is diminished because of it,

losing one of my eyes is a cheap price to pay.

Although thanks to your barrier, that's not going to happen.

But there are plenty of other options.

Enter Tailed Beast State, Bee!

No way, fool, ya fool!

Merge with you and each attack will have too much power and destroy the whole area.

[Bee] Master Kin and Ponta are here with us, don't forget.

Plus, I finally managed to sneak off under the radar.

If I let you out, it's like setting off a Killer Bee is here beacon!

It's not like you to make excuses, Bee!

So what are you going to do? Fight in Version 2 State?

Yeah, man!

Except, most of my chakra got taken away, during those last few exchanges with Kisame.

so you're gonna have to lend me some of yours, okay?

Yegh.

[Eight-Tails] If it weren't for me, you'd have already lost a long time ago.

A cheeky personality, but I'm grateful for your hospitality!

Yeeeah!

Eh?

Going into Tailed Beast State?

No, this is Tailed Beast's power that's trapped in humanoid form.

It's Version 2 State!

[Bee] Lariat!

Samehada's so excited, it's tripping over itself.

The earlier chakra's nothing compared to this volume and quality.

I'm amazed he can control this much chakra without losing his mind.

Samehada can't devour this much chakra!

Yeeahh!

Yes, you did it!

[Bee] Can't believe I was reduced to Version 1 State.

He's still alive! Hurry up and finish him off!

Heh. Well, you've certainly done it now.

Huh?

What's going on?!

The thing about me is, the stronger my opponent is, the stronger I become as well.

I will not tire.

I will not fall.

That blade of his steals his enemy's chakra and transfers it to its master in the form of stamina!

That's right. And that's why I have often been called the Tailless Tailed Beast.

Water Style! Super Exploding Water Shock Wave!

What are you plotting?

I'm simply going to jump down now and behead you.

If I can't remove your eye, I'll just take your whole head back to the Leaf.

You'd kill yourself?!

No. I'll undo the Mind Transfer Jutsu just before the blade hits your neck.

Either way, you'll die. And then once I'm back in my own body, I can simply retrace my steps here to grab your head.

Fine. But you'd better be careful.

Or else you'll fail.

What does that mean?

If you get nervous and undo your jutsu even a second early, I'll be able to dodge that scythe!

If I'm not dead,

You're going to have a serious fight on your hands when you return to grab my head.

Hmpf.

[panting]

Thanks, you saved me.

What's going on?

An enemy's jutsu. I couldn't move my body at all.

If not for you, I'd be dead.

Whew. That was way too close for comfort!

I'm sorry if I made you worry.

So you couldn't move?

Must have been a genjutsu or something.

A type of Mind Transfer Jutsu.

Your right eye. It looks like the enemy was after your Byakugan.

And they almost succeeded in destroying it.

I'm sorry, but can you untie me now?

Of course.

I'll also undo that jutsu protecting your right eye.

Great. Thank you. That would help a lot.

Hm?

I wonder what that is?

No! Don't!

He hasn't undone the Mind Transfer Jutsu yet!

She fell for it. If she undoes the jutsu, I couldn't ask for better.

I can destroy the Byakugan and then undo the Mind Transfer Jutsu.

This chakra belongs to that Sensory Type ninja from the Leaf. This was his plan all along!

No! Lady Mizukage!

There you go!

Lady Mizukage?

Hand me Hiramekarei, Chojuro.

But, why?

This man is not Ao.

I'm not able to undo the jutsu protecting that right eye.

And the real Ao would know that very well.

Besides, Ao would never apologize in front of Chojuro.

You sniffed me out. you old witch.

G'aaahh!

Ungh!

But I was not the one,

Who said that, m'lady.

Oh, good. You're back to normal, are you?

I'll kill him! That Sensory type Leaf ninja...

Good thing it was only her hand and not Hiramekarei, you were lucky!

Foo.

Well, then?

Forgive me, sir. But I have failed my mission.

It could not be helped.

[Kisame] The longer this battle drags on,

the more chakra will be shaved from you and the weaker you'll get.

And the stronger I will become, as I feed off your chakra.

Bee! You've got to steal his blade away from him!

That sword is the key to his strength!

Hee he he he he he!

Huh?

[Kisame] You can take it. If you can rip it out of my body, that is.

What?! He merged with his blade?!

[Bee] It's like he's become a fish human. Or is it a human fish?

Bee! Focus! Be more concise and save your breath! He's a merman!

You ready? Here I come!

[Bee] At this rate, Master Kin and Ponta will drown.

First thing's first, I've got to get them out of the water!

Huah!

[Kisame] You cannot escape from this Water Style.

Besides, in this environment, I have the clear advantage over you.

[Bee] I can't see the boundary! So much water! So crazy!

[Kin] Bee, behind you!

Mm?

These circumstances are hunky-dory! I won't be taken down, sorry!

[Eight-Tails] No time for your ridiculous rhymes!

The water bubble is in motion. And that half-fish guy is at the center! Pay attention!

He's faster than you in the water.

Plus, he can probably breathe underwater with his gills!

If you just run around, he'll catch and kill you.

So what should I do?

You're the Akatsuki's target, Bee!

[Eight-Tails] Leave that Enka geezer and the raccoon and swim in the opposite direction!

He'll chase after you!

[Bee] Oh, yeah! Then they'll be safe.

[Eight-Tails] Yes, As he chases after you, the water bubble will move with him.

So they've got to fall out of it at some point.

Good! Now come this way!

What?!

My orders are to capture the Eight Tails alive.

But there's no rule against killing these two along the way!

Not gonna happen, you fool!

Wha--?!

Gotcha!

Suckers?!

[Bee] Now I got you! I'm not giving you my chakra for free forever! Fool, ya fool!

[Kisame] You're truly worthy of being called the epitome of Jinchuriki.

Changing just a part of you into your Tailed Beast is impressive.

All right, they're out.

(om struggling to breathe cough)

You seem to be having trouble breathing.

Getting to the end of your air supply?

You had a good idea there, but as long as our bodies are touching, I will continue to drain your chakra away.

I can feel Samehada trembling with joy. It has discovered its favorite kind of chakra ever!

No one in the Akatsuki is as good as I am at taking prey alive!

This Water Prison Shark Dance Jutsu,

shaves away your chakra until you're barely alive.

Trying to gauge an opponent's limits is particularly fun.

Although, I do occasionally blunder and go too far.

At this rate, I have to use Lariat again.

Got to time it just right.

No! You can't match his speed in the water.

And he's raised his guard because you used the octopus legs!

Just retreat for now!

[Eight-tails] Use cover!

Eh?

It's ink. A smokescreen, eh?

He really is an octopus lout.

However...

With my body merged to Samehada like this, I can detect chakra through my skin.

And now I believe your chakra is close to zero.

[heavy breathing]

Bee!

Ngh!

I'm coming!

Bee!

Eight Tails turned out to be disappointing.

It would be bothersome if you regained consciousness and went into Tailed Beast State.

So I think I'll remove your legs just to be safe.

He stole away most of my chakra, too! Damn it! Get up, Bee!

[Eight-Tails] This is really bad!

Although my blade doesn't cut cleanly!

What?! What's the matter?

Gaahh!

Don't tell me you've become attached to the Eight-Tails?

You've really taken that much of a liking to his chakra, Samehada?

[gasp of life]

Giving him chakra it stole from me?!

Very well, shall we make it a fair trade, weapon for weapon?

Heh heh. This will do fine.

It looks like it has a nice, sharp edge!

Now's my chance!

A pencil?!

That was so close!

Not close enough for you!

That's what you were trying to get, huh?

Bee. I'm sorry we're late.

My brother!

The Raikage?! How'd you find us?

[Cee] Such a giant bubble of water is visible even to the naked eye.

And I could sense the Eight-Tails' and Bee's chakra mixed up in it.

[Darui] You really went to town absorbing someone else's chakra and using it for yourself.

It was way too obvious.

Found out, after all.

Ngh!

Damn Samehada. It's giving Eight-Tails more chakra!

Let's do it.

Okay, my Brother!

Water Style! Super Shark Bomb!

[Raikage & Bee] Double Lariat!

I must say, you two sure are fast.

Hmph.

Hey, bro!

Y'aghh!

How dare you go wandering off on your own!

Even your non-dominant arm does me a lot o' harm, so sound the alaaaaaarm!

[Gaara] This is also a battle to protect you.

[Gaara] Naruto, you once told me that you would become Hokage one day.

[Gaara] Well, I've become Kazekage.

If you've truly resolved to become a Kage, Then you're going to have to do what needs to be done as Sasuke's friend.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden, "As One's Friend."

[Gaara] I will make sure to protect you at all costs.
