So, um, which one of them is our captain, again? I can never remember.

He's that kinda spacey looking guy over there.

I... I'm starting to feel really nervous.

Heh. In war, you've always gotta stay calm and composed.

Hey, hold on a minute. My dad's going to be our Captain?!

Finally! I'll turn the tide of battle with Kurotsuchi!

Oh, no! Are you all right, Guy Sensei?

The fighting hasn't even started yet, you know! What did you do to yourself?

I gotta eat while I still have the chance or else!

Gaara may be our captain here in the Fourth Company, but he's also our commander-in-chief.

And as his deputy, you're essentially the captain of the Fourth Company.

Better stay sharp!

This is turning into a really bothersome assignment!

What a drag.

I'm gonna make a name for myself in this war and become Hokage!

You fool! Don't you dare make light of war!

We all must avoid flashy behavior.

I think you're going to be just fine, Shino.

[Kakashi] Now then, Gaara, you're the commander-in-chief of the main battle regiment.

Please address everyone once they settle down.

"For My Friend"

[gasp]

They're on the move! And there's a whole lot of them, too!

You all go back and report what we've found to the main forces.

I'll remain here and learn whatever I can about the enemy's hideout!

But it's too dangerous to stay here alone!

Shut up! Just get out of here!

I'm well aware of the risks!

But if we don't get the word out to all of our comrades, then they're going to be in serious danger!

Mm.

Master Zabuza.

Yes. This doesn't appear to be the next plane.

I'm completely conscious right now, But my body is moving on its own.

It's a Forbidden Jutsu, the Reanimation Jutsu.

It appears that someone has summoned us back to the corporeal plane in order to have us do their bidding.

That means we're all going to be made to fight for them.

Someone who'll even manipulate the dead, huh?

I do not appreciate being used like that.

[Kabuto] You will be our Commando Unit. Go by air!

Sasori and Deidara will lay traps and conduct raids.

Chukichi of the Mist and you Leaf Foundation Ninja...

Your job will be to provide sensory intel and also support.

[gasp]

What's this?! Where am I?

You're with the Akatsuki, aren't you?!

Let me make this clear: if you think you can make us do your bidding--

Huagh!

[Sasori] The Akatsuki has truly fallen far if a wimp like this guy here is manipulating it.

And Zetsu and my replacement Tobi are really the only survivors that are still left?!

I must say, you're awfully brash for a dead man, Sasori.

And you used to insist that eternal beauty is art. Hah!

By the way, It's your fault for exposing that weak spot on your chest. Hmph.

Look, Deidara, do you really want me to kill you?

I'm telling you, we're already dead! You can't kill what's dead! Hmph!

Are you sure this is going to work?

I admit it can be a little bit difficult to control

the reanimated shinobi when there are so many of them.

And that is why I'm only focusing on getting them into place right now.

But once I get them there, I'll be in total control.

I'll erase their personalities, and they'll turn into pure killing machines in battle.

There's no need to worry.

Although, with some, it's better not to change them. If they keep their annoying personalities,

then they could agitate the enemy even more.

And that could work to our advantage.

Is that really you, Master Dan?

Yes, it is. It appears that you and I have been reunited in death.

This must be a Forbidden Jutsu where the dead are summoned back to inhabit sacrificial bodies.

What in the world's going on? Why has this happened?

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Aren't you going to take Black and White Zetsu along?

Zetsu will stay behind as Sasuke's guardian.

So you won't try to whisk him away while I'm at war.

[chuckle]

The hundred thousand White Zetsu will travel underground.

Such a large army would attract attention up above.

It's time for us to head out, too. But first...

Forgive us, Captain Anko! Please stay safe!

This sensation. is it Orochimaru?! No!

[both] Multiple Striking Shadow Snakes!

Heh. Just because you have a Curse Mark, you think you're like Lord Orochimaru, Anko Mitarashi!

And the same goes for you. Are you the leader now, Kabuto Yakushi?!

Taijutsu from some bookworm won't work on me!

Ah!

Ngh!

Of course, I have no intention of fighting you with taijutsu.

I am a bookworm, after all.

Ungh!

Poison? How? But I should have immunity!

[chuckle] So who is in charge here now?

The anti-venoms that Lord Orochimaru developed won't work against this poison.

Over... there.

It's just as Kabuto told us it would be: there are three of them.

There, toward two o'clock.

What's wrong?

Muta! Ranka! Go! The two of you keep moving! I'll stall them!

No matter what happens, we have to get that intel to Headquarters!

Can someone who's so young really handle being Commander-in-Chief?

Listen, Lord Gaara is not your average young man!

And how dare you make such ignorant assumptions!

And how the hell would I know about him?!

We've barely been on the same side for a minute, here, you numbskull!

Right back at you!

We were enemies for a long time, and I don't trust you.

So you'd better watch what you say!

To tell you the truth, I feel the same way.

Me too.

Huh??

Hold on, what did you just say, Hoheto?

Even if Orochimaru did deceive them, the Sand was still behind the plot to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village.

That means if it weren't for them, Lord Third would still--

Just stay calm, okay?

Both of us were lucky enough to be named to the Commando Unit like we wanted.

Everything is just about to start!

Yeah, I know! I'm a shinobi!

I won't go against what our nation and village have decided.

That was only my personal opinion, and nothing more than that.

Still, you Leaf don't have the right to talk that way!

A rogue ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village attacked Lord Killer Bee, as well as the Five Kage summit!

Will you take responsibility for the loss of Lord Raikage's hand?

What's that?!

It seems that no one here is really ready to trust each other yet.

I know, but it can't be helped.

After being on opposing sides for years, you can't expect them all to bond in only a day or two.

Especially not the Sand and Stone.

Why you-!

You jerk!

Humph. This is typical of the Hidden Stone.

Hey, you from the Mist! What did you just say?

You heard me. But in case you didn't get it,

I was saying that you of the Hidden Stone are little more than thugs who don't know how to follow the rules.

Say that again!

The Hidden Stone betrayed us in the tragedy of Yosuga Pass. We are never, ever going to forget your treachery!

What? Yosuga Pass? You're seriously bringing up ancient history like that?!

We agreed to form this unit,

in order to honor Master Ganryu, who wishes for peace from inside the prison where he's been incarcerated.

But the Mist and Stone will never really be true allies!

[shouting, arguing]

Why, you Leaf bastard!

Do something about it, Cloud!

The Hidden Stone is just gonna betray us again! Isn't that right?!

You Mist are all talk! If you've got a problem, bring it on!

No, you're the one who needs to watch what he's saying!

That's it! You wanna fight?

Yeah, you bet I do!

You Hidden Sand killed my father!

And I'll avenge him by killing you!

Hey, break it up!

[sigh]

[struggling]

Huh?!

Uwagh!

Yagh!

In the name of gain and profit for one's nation and village...

Shinobi have hated and hurt each other for many years,

from the First to the Third Great Ninja Wars and the conflicts in between.

All of that hatred cried out for power. Thus, I was born.

In the past, I was hatred... and power... And a Jinchuriki.

I hated this world and all its people. And thought about destroying both.

That's exactly what the Akatsuki is trying to do now.

But then, a single shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village stopped me.

[Naruto] [struggling breaths]

It's almost unbearable, isn't it?

The feeling of being all alone.

I know that feeling.

It really is almost unbearable, isn't it?

Gaara.

Naruto.

Ya sure had us worried there!

He cried for me.

I was his enemy, yet still he cried for me!

And he called me his friend even though we had battled.

He saved me!

We were on different sides, but we were both Jinchuriki.

Between those who have experienced the same pain, there can be no hate!

There are no enemies here, now!

Because each one of us bears the pain of having been hurt by the Akatsuki.

The Sand...

The Stone...

The Leaf...

The Mist...

And the Cloud... are no more!

Now, there is only...

...shinobi!

[gasps]

And if you're still unable to forgive the Sand,

Then you can come back and face me after this war is over!

The looks on their faces have changed.

The friend I spoke of who saved me is the target of our enemy.

If he falls into their hands, our world's finished!

I want to protect my friend! And I want to protect this entire world!

I am too young and inexperienced to do that.

So I ask you, All of you,

Please, lend me your strength for this fight!

You've got it, Lord Gaara! [cheering]

To victory!

[big cheers]

Listen, I'm sorry about before.

Thank you. But I was in the wrong, too.

I apologize for what I just said.

Thank you, and I apologize too.

[Kiri] Ganryu! How did you?

All shinobi who have felt the same pain must come together now.

And, They said my help would be welcome if I held no grudge.

This war is so important that they'll accept help even from someone like me.

We are united as shinobi.

Yeah, that's right!

All of us are gonna work together as one, and we'll defeat the Akatsuki!

Damn right!

Mmm.

The more determined they are, the stronger the bond that is forged between them.

Right, Gaara?

[squeal] Lord Gaara's the greatest!

Well said, Lord Gaara!

You've become a fine man, Gaara!

He's right, you know. All of us are comrades now.

Well, it's sure gonna be a real nuisance,

but I guess that we're just going to have to learn everybody's scents.

The Inuzuka name is on the line here!

All those who feel as I do! Follow me!

[whooping cheers]

[Naruto] Whoahoa! Yes!

I did it! All right!

Way to go, Naruto.

And the next step will be our final lesson.

Sad but true it's hard to proceed, but time's come for the deed.

Hm?

The Fourth Great Ninja War begins. And we will win it!

That goes without saying!

We will!

[Gaara] We will stand, united as one,

and fight till our last breath for the sake of my friend, and the world!

[Kankuro] We're already inside enemy territory.

Omoi! Go set Paper Bomb traps.

Sai, you're going to remain on aerial surveillance.

Ittan, use Earth Style to make a trench. Tango, set up a Chakra Communication antenna!

Zaji and Hoheto! You're on sensory and watch duty.

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: War Begins!

[Kankuro] This is war. Don't ever let your guard down.
