Kakashi.

The Kazekage thinks you should be appointed as a troop commander during the war.

Why me?

For one, because you took part in the battle of Kannabi Bridge during the Third Great Ninja War.

It's very sad to say, but there aren't many veterans left from that war in any of the five great nations.

This is also a direct order from me.

Then I guess I can't refuse, Lady Hokage.

However, I do have one request.

What is it?

One person can't wage a war alone.

I need a good shinobi to act as my right-hand man and assist me.

Right. Well, is there anyone that you can trust implicitly?

A man who's presently on a mission escorting Naruto.

You mean...?

Huh?

Turtle, turtle...

This is...

...The ninja tortoise Guy uses in emergencies!

[retching]

Whew! Guess I'm past the first stage, I hope.

Gyah.

Finally feeling better now, Guy?

Huh? Ah, no, not to worry!

These waves are nothing to me!

[hurf]

He's been seasick the whole trip and he still puts on a tough act.

Who does he think he's fooling?!

Anyway, since all of us are here now,

[Yamato] We'll enter the Land of Lightning's territory,

after replenishing our supplies on this isolated island.

[Aoba] We've turned the final corner. Our goal's in sight.

We can't be complacent. The enemy will seek out any chance to attack us.

[Guy] But...

Since we're so close now, we can call for backup from the Allied Shinobi Forces, right?

You may be right, but those reinforcements could be disguised enemies.

What?!

That's right. We can't let our guard down.

Even if it's someone we know well, like Lady Tsunade or Kakashi.

Tch, come on!

Surely we can identify their chakra. We are jonin, after all!

But I've heard a rumor there's a transformation jutsu that can copy and disguise chakra.

What?! Are you being serious?!

Hey!

Aaah! Eternal rival!

Ha ha ha ha!

[impact]

Ohh...

[shivers]

Well, knock on wood!

Also, I have to emphasize that no one can tell Naruto the real purpose of this mission.

I mean you, Guy!

Right. I got it!

This mission's a cover! Hah! We're really here to protect Naruto.

[yawn]

Uh, oh! Oh, man, I'd better hurry! [Guy being muffled]

[zip]

Mmhmf! mmmlmf! Mfflffmm! [pee sounds]

[Naruto] [drowsy] Go! Rasen-pee!

[chuckle]

[shiver]

Hm?

What are you guys doing out here this late at night?

Oh, I'm, uh...

I'm getting a massage!

A massage?

That's right! We're totally not keeping a secret from yo--

Mmff!

Hey, wait a second here, you guys aren't...

[gasp]

... hiding something really delicious to eat from me?

Are you?! Huh!? Huh?!

[relieved sigh]

Don't worry, Naruto, if we find something delicious, we'll be sure to share with you!

Good night.

The three of us were just discussing the schedule for the remainder of our journey.

Oh, and, Guy? Remember what we talked about, okay?

Right! I got it! And I'll take first watch!

Hmm.

Something funny is going on around here.

"Kakashi, My Eternal Rival"

you know, I can keep watch by myself. Why don't you get some sleep?

No, thanks. I've had nothing to do all day except sleep. So now, I'm wide awake.

I wonder sometimes what everyone in the village is up to.

It's been such a long time since I've seen Kakashi Sensei.

Huh? Ah! Kakashi!

The man that they call, the eternal rival of the Leaf's Might Guy!

This is a good opportunity to tell you about our younger days together.

You really don't have to tell me.

I remember it like it was yesterday!

It was right around the time that we became genin that our rivalry began.

Seriously! You don't have to tell me!

Move, you're in my light.

Heh! People call me Might Guy, the Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf Village!

You're one of the super elite here, right?

You're Sakumo's son, known as the White Fang of the Leaf!

What about it?

See, I have this bad habit: whenever I see a guy with tons of talent, I just have to challenge him!

How about it? Let's go lay our youth on the line in hot-blooded battle!

Why, if I don't have to?

You were born an elite, whereas I made myself elite through sheer effort!

It's a classic story! We could have an amazing rivalry!

Huh?

Your sense of humor leaves me speechless.

Hey!

What about my challenge?

No, thanks.

Heh hah! But that just makes me even more determined!

'Cause once I've made up my mind, I never back down! That's my rule!

He hee!

I won't quit! Just fight me!

[pee sound]

Yah!

Fiiight meee!

[gasp]

It's like an acorn.

Dghgg!

Please, fight me, Kakashi!

I don't want to!

[relaxed sigh]

Fight me!

Seriously?

In the end, Kakashi succumbed to the intensity of my youthful determination and agreed to fight me.

Hearing this makes me feel bad for Kakashi Sensei.

And that's the way we forged the unbreakable bonds of our eternal rivalry!

But, what kind of fights did you guys have, anyway?

We both gave it our all in honest, intense battle, of course! That's the only way!

Although I must admit, I'm reluctant to tell him about some of them.

Ulp!

Bow and arrow, sickle and chain, and now shuriken.

I've beaten you in all of them. You finally satisfied?

Not yet! So, I challenge you to spar with me!

There's no way I'll lose to you in taijutsu!

Seems you finally have something to brag about.

You're a true prodigy, with skills inherited from the White Fang!

But you're too quick to run away!

What strength!

Leaf Hurricane!

Ah!

Ha! You're mine!

Ha ha ha ha!

I guess I overdid it a little bit, huh?

Gaah! Substitution?!

Ghhhk!

Guuhh...

Heh. Have you had enough yet?

From now on, know your place.

[smack]

Huh?

Let go, trash!

No way. Not yet. You can't go; I'm not done challenging you.

And I am not trash!

I've beaten you in every challenge.

[sniffly sobs]

[exasperated sigh]

All right, then, what do you want to try next?

Ah! Hah!

Here I come!

Bring it on!

Rock, Paper...Scissors! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

I can't tell him about challenges like that one.

I'd never hear the end of it.

[yawn]

You know, I think I'll try to go to sleep, after all.

Oh, are you sure? I was just about to get to the good part!

[door shuts]

Aw.

[yawn] Boy, I'm starting to get sleepy too.

[snoring]

[Kakashi] Hey! Guy! You there?

Guy!

Huh?

Did someone call my name?

Over here, Guy!

Hm?

Oh! It's you, Kakashi!

Hold on... What're you doing way out here on the water?

Hnn!

Ow! No, it's not a dream.

Could it be?

But I've heard of a rumor that there's a transformation jutsu,

that's able to both copy and disguise chakra.

Could this be what Yamato was talking about?

Well, I won't allow myself to be fooled!

I can't let the enemy get close to Naruto!

What nerve to disguise himself as my eternal rival!

I'll strip his façade off with my bare hands!

All right! Be right there!

Hey! You all right? What happened out here?

Oh, so that's his little game, is it?

Making it sound like we sent some kind of distress signal, and he's come to help out.

Well, I won't be fooled as easily as that, you imposter!

Sorry, what do you mean, "Are you all right"?

Oh, well, you sent an S. O. S. message, didn't you?

Mehhh!

Ha! What a fool, telling such a bald-faced lie like that!

But attacking him out of the blue would be too impetuous.

I'll have to wait for absolute proof that he's a fake.

But how am I gonna get that proof?

Is there anything that's happened between Kakashi and me an enemy wouldn't know?

Uhm...

Hmmm...

Ah!

I've got it! Of course! That's perfect!

Oh, and by the way!

What are the stats in our rivalry battles these days?

You know, our win-loss record?

What? Guy, I don't think that this is the time to discuss something like that!

I knew it! He may appear identical,

but he couldn't have delved that deeply into our private affairs to impersonate Kakashi.

I see. So what you're saying is that you really don't remember!

Well sure, I remember, it's just...

What? You can tell me?

Yeah. Of course.

[gulp]

The way it stands now, I'm winning, 51-50. Right?

Ah ha! That phony's just given himself away!

But never mind that. What was the reason for the S. O. S.?

The reason is the danger standing right in front of me!

Severe Leaf Hurricanes!

What are you doing?!

Of course you'd take on Kakashi's speed along with his appearance!

Hyah!

You can't escape my taijutsu, no matter how much you try to run.

You didn't call me here just to continue our rivalry, did you?

You are a pretty good imitation.

But if you want to prove you're the real thing,

then copy my taijutsu, just like "Copy Ninja" Kakashi would!

How do I know you're the real Guy?

What? Are you kidding me?!

The real Guy would know that even with the Sharingan, I can't copy everything!

That's just like an imposter: to accuse me of being the fake to throw me off the trail!

What's all the commotion about out there?

Looks like Guy. Must be him, I didn't see him anywhere onboard.

This doesn't seem like something trivial. Let's go help him out!

Yeah!

What can I say to make you believe that I'm me?

So you're just going to keep denying the truth, huh?

Guy!

Oh, good; you two are just in time!

Oh! It's Kakashi!

Hey, how's it going?

Don't let him fool you that easily! He's tricky!

He's a fake posing as Kakashi!

What? What?

But just take a look at him, he seems like the real Kakashi!

[Aoba] Yeah. You are Kakashi, right?

Yes! But Guy won't let me off the hook, here!

Don't be fooled! It's just like you said, Yamato!

He's even transformed his chakra into an exact copy of Kakashi's!

I have all the proof that I'll ever need!

So the three of us should move in and take him down!

Huh?

Hey! What are you doing?!

Did you ever consider that you might be trapped inside an enemy's genjutsu?

Or maybe that you're still just not feeling well from being seasick for days on end.

Right? He's not acting normal, is he?

So you'd rather side with this impostor than listen to me, your friend and comrade?!

Ohhhh!

Of course! I see clearly now!

All of you are fakes!

[all] D'agggghh!

He's really acting strange.

I'll just use my Wood Style to restrain him.

Forget it. I won't let you.

Eight Inner Gates! Sixth Gate of Joy, open!

This is bad! He's serious! Dive as deep as you can!

Yoooooooo!

Asakujaku!

[panting]

[Kakashi] Just what proof do you have that I'm an impostor, anyway?

Irrefutable proof! From our battles as eternal rivals!

There's no way the real Kakashi would ever get our win-loss record wrong!

But it's 51-50 in my favor, I'm certain. There's no mistake.

Or maybe, you're just bitter that I took the lead after I defeated you in our last match.

What?

[crack]

So you must have been spying on that battle then!

[sigh] I don't know how else to say it: I'm really me!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

You just can't stop giving yourself away!

That match tied us! Kakashi and I are even at 50!

No, you're wrong.

Huh?

There was the sushi eating contest after that.

Where I won right?

I'm so stuffed...

I... I forgot about that one!

D'ooogh!

You must've been watching that battle too!

Will you cut it out, Guy?

Yeah you almost killed us!

Guy, if you really want, I'll reveal your secret, the one that only I would know.

Interesting ploy, phony. If you know of a secret such as that, then I'd like to hear it, too!

[Yamato] What? Guy has such a fine physique, but it's the size of an acorn? Really?!

[Aoba] That small? Maybe we should call him the "Little Beast" instead.

[Guy] It's not like that anymore! I was just a kid!

[Guy] Sorry. I really was convinced the enemy was trying to infiltrate us.

But what are you doing here anyway, Kakashi?

I already told you. You sent your Ninja Tortoise to the Leaf carrying an S. O. S. So I rushed over here as fast as I could.

Huh?! Huh?!

So back then, when we thought something whizzed past us.

Guy was sending out his Ninja Tortoise!

What are you talking about?

Ohh!

[heaving]

Ow!

Turtle!

Help me...

Turtle!

Turtle!

[Yamato] Uh? Did you see that? Did something just fly past us?

[Aoba] Yeah. I think so.

Sorry about that, you guys.

Then this entire thing was all your doing, Guy?!

Ah ha ha ha ha ha! So, how are things back in the village?

He's changing the subject!

Well, things have gotten a bit complicated.

Oh? What's wrong?

I'll contact you again once it's all decided.

Oh, okay.

Did you want to check on Naruto before you go?

I don't need to. He has you with him.

Yeah. He sure does.

Guy!

Yeah?

If anything should ever happen to me, you'd rush over right away, wouldn't you?

You're damn right. Never doubt that.

[yawn]

I could have sworn that I heard Kakashi Sensei.

Huh?

You are hiding something from me, aren't you?!

And it's something delicious, I bet!

[Aoba] We're not!

[Naruto] Liars! Then why are you huddled together like that?

[Guy] We're gazing at stars!

[Aoba] And acorns...

[Guy] Heh, stars are a lot bigger than they seem from afar!

[Naruto] Hey! Why are the Stone and Mist fighting here?

[Kurotsuchi] That's what I want to know! These guys just attacked us right out of the blue!

[Ganryu] Move it, Leaf ninja! If you interfere, I'll kill you, too!

[Chojuro] This ends now, Ganryu! It violates Lady Mizukage's will.

Per her orders, I'm going to have to stop you!

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Naruto's Vow.

[Chojuro] I mean, if I can.
