All right! I'm going to start the ecological survey now!

Huh? Hey!

Wait, come back!

Huh?!

Hey, Octopops, I can't tell whether this one's a boy or a girl.

It's all curled up.

This armadillo has always been shy, and if you're trying to check its gender, I can see why.

Who's to say if it's a girl or a guy?

We're speaking out against this abnormality, which reveals your pervert personality.

Hold on! I have to! This is the top-secret S-rank mission that I've been given! I have to make the

list for the Animal Unit we're forming!

And checking their gender is crucial! You think that I like doing this?!

It don't really matter which this one is, There isn't a quiz. Say it's a girl and finish this biz.

[grunting]

But just look at this! All of these markings that are on its back make the kanji that reads "male".

It's coincidence, just a pattern.

I have a really bad feeling about this thing...

Look, could you just ask the armadillo, please? You're their boss, right?

Well, what's the story?

Hm! Uh!

Mm.

It says that its privates are private! Yo!

Oh, really?! That's the way it is?! Come on, how am I supposed to finish all this stuff up?!

This mission's living up to its rank... or is it, really?!

Well, male and female... There are some species that are able to switch between them both, yo!

But check it: the heavens and earth can't switch places, yo! Fool, ya fool!

Hm...

[gasping]

What's this...?! Something is approaching at a very high speed! And... it's not human!

What is it? What's wrong?

You took me a little bit by surprise because I'd heard that you were already dead, Deidara.

I wasn't expecting your clay clones.

So that was--

The Tsuchikage's stone clone. It seems that we were thinking the same thing.

Brother Deidara! I thought you blew yourself up in a flashy explosion!

Does that mean you didn't die after all?

Don't get excited, Akatsuchi!

Why not?

It's merely Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu.

It seems he was brought back to life, but he isn't the real deal.

Damn it. Still causing trouble, even in death!

A youngster from the Leaf defeats you... And then you have the gall to try to sneak back in amongst the living!

Just shut up! I killed that damn Sasuke Uchiha!

And because you mocked and insulted my art, you old geezer... You'll be next!

It seems Deidara doesn't know anything...

That's enough! You're both mine! You can't escape me.

You actually believe that you're stalling us here, don't you?

I knew there was going to be an ambush.

Do you think I'd saunter in here without a plan?

What do you mean by that?

Inconceivable! We've been found out already? It can't be...

Well, Motoi?

[roaring]

"The Artist Returns"

He's found them.

Sorry, but we need to go over there.

And why's that?

What?! My body isn't responding to me! What are you doing?!

No way! He's already found them?!

After him!

Roger!

Yes, sir!

[roaring]

[groaning]

[panicking]

What's going on here?

I created a second Manda from the cells of the original.

His size, strength, and sensory abilities all surpass those of the first one.

The fact that the island is an animal turns out to be its fatal flaw.

What is that?

An island? What's so special about that place.

That's no island. It's a turtle that's on the move.

And the Eight Tails and the Nine Tails are on it.

It's a turtle? The Eight and Nine Tails are both down there?

Yes. This is our opportunity to capture the both of them.

Oh, I see... Then that damn Naruto is down there, huh?

So... What's the plan?

First we stop that turtle island.

Give me a big one, Deidara.

Damn it... They're so fast!

Do it now.

Right.

Huh!

[roaring]

Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!

It flipped over. It can't move now.

Oh, man... What is going on today?!

I can't believe it, but the heavens and earth really did trade places! Fool, ya fool!

Huh...?

[moaning]

Ha! I knew it!

[groaning]

You know, the entire world might flip over... but a male is still a male!

This is no time to be doing an ecological survey, Naruto!

Please calm down, Yamato. It's supposed to be an S-rank mission.

Huh?

Something is definitely going on out there.

However, we still have to maintain our cover story.

We can't let those two go outside.

We're just going to have to handle it ourselves.

Mmm.

Kabuto, you go look for the Eight and Nine Tails. Hmm.

I will fight these three here. I owe them nothing less.

Fine, but don't take long.

Deidara!

You shall feel my wrath.

Oh, great. It looks like the geezer's snapped.

You do remember this, don't you?

[gasping]

This just keeps getting worse and worse! Don't tell me that he's going right to Particle Style!

This looks bad...

You're not getting away!

What do you think you're doing, Akatsuchi?!

If you unleash that here, you'll kill the turtle island!

Uh?

Damn!

What a mess! It's so big, it just looks like a rock!

Now's my chance! Hmm!

Huh!

[gasping]

Huh!

Old geezer!

[chuckling]

Uh!

That was Akatsuchi's Golem, huh?

He's still attached to the Tsuchikage's hip, I see... How annoying!

I've got get him away from the island.

[roaring weakly]

That damn snake!

I get it! So that's the guy who's controlling the giant snake!

The nerve of that wimp, pretending to be Orochimaru's lackey!

I see... Naruto is actually inside this turtle...

Now then, how do we get inside there?

Hm?

Damn it! What's happening outside?!

Uh...

There, uh sure have been a whole lot of earthquakes today, wouldn't you say so, Naruto?

Yeah. You're right about that!

But still, this is way too weird. How does an earthquake flip the whole world?!

Well, I suppose that it's possible here on this island although it's probably an extremely rare event!

Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!

What? Quit kidding.

You know, what...? I think I'll take a look outside...

Uh... You can't! Because you have to continue your vital S-rank mission!

So... You gotta stay focused!

Yeah... Well, maybe I'll just go up there and take a quick little look-see...

But it's a ninja's sworn duty to see every mission through until completion, Naruto!

And this particular mission... is in your hands. Only you can accomplish it.

That's why you were selected, Naruto. Understood!?

We'll go see what's happening outside. That's honestly the only way that we can contribute here.

But let me repeat it... You are still right in the middle of an important S-rank mission!

Even Naruto's beginning to sense that something's not quite right. We

bluffed him into thinking that this is an S-rank mission...

But really, he's only checking to see if these animals have balls or not.

Naruto's not a complete idiot. He must suspect.

All right! Gotcha!

Huh?!

I'm gonna stay focused on my mission, then!

This is actually working! Thank goodness he's so dense!

You're slow!

Lava Style: Quicklime Jutsu!

Ah, here they are, at last...

There he is...

There should be five people!

Aoba too, huh?

You didn't have to come! We can take care of them ourselves just fine!

Having said that...

Wait, you're the Tsuchikage's granddaughter, aren't you?

Perfect! Now all of you can just take me right to where Naruto is.

[gasping]

Snakes.

That voice. That means that you are...

And so we meet again, Yamato...

Gonna sweep him your way. Get him!

Water Style: Water Trumpet!

Nice one!

No good! He saw it coming!

I may have told you guys to get him, but... I got him!

This is--

I get it.

You idiot! This means that you can't move at all!

My Quicklime Jutsu is essentially like fast-acting cement.

Water spreads it out and helps it bond, creating a reaction that causes it to harden like rock.

Motoi, Aoba! Don't step foot into that water.

And that's for insurance!

Good! Now you're all ours! I'll go extract his intel!

You're even faster than in your prime, Old Geezer.

You've always preferred sneaking around and fighting from a safe distance, Deidara.

I never liked that!

Shut up!

I'll finish him off with my C4! Hmm!

[groaning]

They're so fast I can't keep up!

Kabuto, how you've fallen. You're looking more and more like Orochimaru these days.

Never mind about me. You should just worry about not falling.

Aoba! Concentrate!

Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'll be fine.

You remember that I'm in the Intel Division, don't you?

I'm going to take a look now, and I'll see everything that's happened to you.

[gasping]

[gasping]

He's molting?!

He's gone that far?

Motoi, get back!

Uh!

Ah!

Yamato!

[gasping]

Damn!

Luckily, Kurotsuchi, I recognized the hand signs for your jutsu.

It helped me get all of you to lower your guard.

Are you telling me that you waited just for this moment?

Damn...!

Lava Style: Quicklime Jutsu!

Stop!

Damn! He hid inside its nose!

Ah!

[groaning]

Uh!

This ought to be high enough.

Don't underestimate me, old geezer!

Prepare yourself! Now you die, Deidara!

We'll see whose art is greater, your Particle Style or my Explosion Style?

[gasping]

What is this?!

Come on! Not now!

Damn!

[grunting] I can't move!

Hold on!

Uh!

When that kid from the Hidden Stone returns, she'll free you!

Uh!

You're... Lord Tsuchikage!

Deidara got away from me. How'd you fare?

Your companion from the Hidden Stone went after our assailant.

[grumbling] Hm?

Please help me! Just get me out of here, and I'll go after him, too! Which way did Kabuto go?

I can't sense the enemy anymore. I have no idea which direction he went.

It's useless.

Damn it. Yamato's been--

What happened here?

It's Yamato...

The Wood Style user and Nine Tails' guardian was taken.

The assailant didn't go after the Eight or Nine Tails?

Then it's hard to tell if he wanted Yamato or if he was simply after any

hostage that he could then interrogate.

Either way, we'll have to worry about the intel your comrade possesses.

Yamato is not that easily broken, I'm sure of that!

That's not the issue.

[grunting]

He's up against Madara, and his strong Visual Jutsu.

Once someone's caught under it,... there's no escape!

[grunting]

I don't believe that's the souvenir I asked for.

No, you're correct; it isn't.

But he is the Nine Tails' guardian and possesses much classified intel.

And besides, I can use him to make Zetsu and the others a whole lot stronger.

After I had captured him, I elected not to take any further risks and brought him back.

This way's better for you.

Then hurry up and do it. I'm tired of talking.

This left eye of mine is itching for battle.

Convene the Commando Unit! Have the main regiment run through their formations!

Make sure the medical unit is supplied with ninja tools!

Find Ao and the Sensory unit. And tell them to hurry up!

Tsuchikage, these were completed while you were away. Here's yours.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Assemble! Allied Shinobi Forces!

The headbands for the Allied Shinobi Forces, eh? Nice job!

"ROCK LEE'S SILLY CHRONICLES: PART 4"

Youth shines bright, Lee!

Yes, I understand, Guy Sensei!

But how can I shine even brighter?

Oh, I know!

Guy Sensei, I have become even shinier now!

Yes, your hair's so glossy!

That is just superficial brightness! This is true shine!

Dazzling!

I can also cook eggs on it, as well.

So good!

Would you guys like some?

No!
