[Naruto] Heh, playing with those building blocks...

I knew that I could do it now that I'm at this level!

I'd expect you to pull off that simple act.

But the next one's not so easy, that's a fact.

[Naruto] Oh, so this is connected to that room where I scuffled with the Nine Tails' chakra.

[Killer Bee] Take a good look.

[Naruto] And now there's a statue of the Eight Tails, huh? What a pain.

Here's the entrance to another room, just one step remaining:

We're gonna have our final Tailed Beast training!

So quit grumbling, y'hear?

It's time for you to learn the ultimate Jinchuriki jutsu, do you hear what I say?

If you're ready, just give me the okay!

Yeah, okay!

I mean, I do have to learn how to control all of this power, after all.

All right, so what do I do first, then?

You gotta enter Tailed beast mode, then enter tailed beast state-a!

This is step one. So get it done!

Come on, don't you think that's too risky?

I don't want to transform into Tailed Beast state!

Nah, you can do it! You should be fine, fool, ya fool!

You only extracted Tailed Beast chakra pure, so you won't rampage, I'm sure!

Fool, ya fool!

All right, then.

Hrrrh!

Visualize your Tailed Beast! Yea-eah!

Hraaaaah!

Yip Yip Yip!

Whoaa!

Aw, man.

No go? Too bad.

Well, it's not like you're chummy with the Nine Tails.

I guess Tailed Beast Transformation is an utter failure.

[Eight Tails] So how are you going to teach him the Tailed Beast Bomb?

That's a move a Jinchuriki can only achieve in Tailed Beast State, Bee.

Hrrm.

Oh, wow. I'm dead tired after that.

You mean I went and used all of that Nine-Tails' chakra for nothing?!

[Eight Tails] By the way, shouldn't you tell him the risks of Tailed Beast Mode, too?

Remember, the risks for you and Naruto are fundamentally different.

Look, I'll explain. Let me out.

I'll just hand over the baton for the mumble jumble.

Saves me from the verbal fumble.

Hey! Naruto! This is Eight Tails speaking, not Bee.

Now, listen closely!

Huh? This is all getting so confusing.

Well, at least I won't have to listen to all of his dumb rhymes.

First, I'll cover the risks of the Tailed Beast chakra mode.

Wait, risks? There are risks to using this mode?!

Of course! It's very important, so be quiet and listen.

Yeah. Okay.

"Secrets of the Reanimation Jutsu"

The main risk when you switch to Tailed Beast chakra mode is,

Yeah?

Basically, while you're using the Tailed Beast chakra mode,

The Nine Tails is siphoning away your own personal chakra,

because you're temporarily shelving your Naruto chakra to use the Nine Tails' chakra.

Okay.

And, obviously, if he drains your Naruto chakra to zero, then you're a goner.

Haaaah??

But then how come Octopops is always okay when he uses it?!

Naruto, you've merely taken Nine Tails' chakra from him.

You haven't truly tamed him.

Bee and I used to be like that, too, long time ago, fighting over each other's chakra.

Oh and, I wouldn't advise using Shadow Clones in Tailed Beast chakra mode.

Nine Tails will take an equal amount of your chakra from each clone, so you'll be drained instantly and die.

[chuckle] Don't worry, I've got plenty of my own chakra,

because for my entire life, I've been getting all the chakra that's always leaking out of the Nine Tails!

You idiot! Don't underestimate the Nine Tails! He'll wipe out your chakra just like that!

Restoring your stolen chakra takes a lot of time! So be careful!

If you get carried away and use only the Nine Tails' chakra during a battle, you'll end up dead.

Huhh??

Normally, you'd negotiate with your Tailed Beast and agree on a chakra exchange.

Not that I ever see the Nine Tails doing that.

Finally, there's a limit to the chakra you forcibly pulled from the Nine Tails.

Auhh! It's too risky! Does that mean I can't even perform the ultimate Jinchuriki jutsu?!

You'd better give up on the Tailed Beast Bomb.

For now, you should just focus on polishing up your own special move.

Tailed Beast Bomb? Wait, what kind of jutsu is that?

It's simple. You just change your chakra's form, pool it in your mouth, compress it, and then release it.

That's all there is to it.

[Naruto] That one, huh...?

Basically... It feels just like throwing up.

Okay, let me just try it while I'm in this mode!

Haugh!

Like this?!

[retching] Huaagh!

It's impossible without being transformed in Tailed Beast state.

I've explained everything. Now back to Bee.

[Killer Bee] It can't be helped, we must relent!

Well, the only thing left is to try your special move while you're in Tailed Beast chakra mode. Gotta be diligent!

But I can't do Rasengan without at least one Shadow Clone. It won't work in this mode!

I need two pairs of hands: one for the chakra release,

and one for the rotation, compression, and containment of the change in form.

Tailed Beast chakra should feel like an extension of your limbs,

but not to be mistaken for your actual ones!

Yeah, okay!

Do you mean something like this?

Very nice, that's a good start.

Now go on, bring up that special move of yours and see if we can use any part.

All right, here goes!

Rasengan!!

Huh?!

Wait, but that's...!

[Killer Bee] Change in chakra form with rotation and compression.

Augh!

That jutsu! It's just like the Tailed Beast Bomb... fool, ya fool!

Hey! Naruto! Who was the person that taught you that jutsu, ya dimwit fool?!

Huh?! Oh, Pervy Sage did.

Uh, I mean, Jiraiya Sensei taught it to me.

Although the Fourth Hokage was actually the one who first invented it.

[Killer Bee] The Fourth Hokage?! What a coincidence! How fateful! Truly not a shame!

The Rasengan! It's put together just like the Tailed Beast Bomb! They're the same!

The Rasengan must've been modeled on this Tailed Beast move.

It's incredible, but it has to be the truth!

It's like he entrusted you with the Tailed Beast Bomb. You couldn't be luckier!

Mmm.

It's easy to achieve in Tailed Beast mode.

But when human, the change in chakra form is difficult, almost impossible.

And also, if you add in rotation, then that makes it more plausible.

Yeah, I guess so.

But this move isn't working as well as my regular Rasengan.

Tailed Beast chakra is a combination of positive blue chakra and negative red chakra.

Their balance is the key.

[growl]

Now, when you're compressing it,

if you make the red to blue ratio two to eight, then it'll form a sphere!

Go on! Try it!

Okay!

Hrrrh!

Huaagh!

No, your ratio's still out of whack.

You had red nine-point-five to blue zero-point-five for that attack.

It's harder than it sounds to grasp the knack.

All this talk of positive, negative, red, blue, ratios,

Half the time, I don't even understand what you're talking about!

Besides, the Rasengan is heavy.

If I don't use both of my hands, it just falls apart.

How am I supposed to focus on these tiny little details?

I'm the type that learns by doing, you know?

So for this Tailed Beast Rasengan...

I'm just gonna have to keep doing it and doing it,

and I'm not gonna stop until I get it right!

[pain] Agh! Ngh!

It's much more difficult in human form. It's tougher to toil.

Just rest a bit. Those wounds on your hands are a type of jutsu recoil.

Like I told you, I can't worry about the little details like that!

Hah.

Octopops, you said that the ratio should be eight to two,

so keep watching me and tell me when I get it right.

I'll try to learn it by feeling and just remember it.

Boy, you sure are persistent!

Ha! Very well! Then I'll just swallow my words and I'll help you tell!

Unh...

[Madara] The woman is still alive.

It appears that she's compatible with Lord Orochimaru's Curse Mark.

His chakra continues to flow through her body even now.

I can't kill her yet.

[Madara] No. You must finish her off, here and now.

She knows where our hideout is and how to get inside.

I'm afraid she needs to be alive if I'm going to

extract and collect Lord Orochimaru's chakra.

My body is essentially Lord Orochimaru's right now.

His chakra is critical if I'm to expand my power, and increase the binding strength of the Reanimation Jutsu!

And something else is necessary.

This jutsu requires living human bodies.

Those are the reasons this woman is being kept alive.

Increasing our battle strength. Doesn't that further your cause?

Or am I wrong?

A friend today may be an enemy tomorrow.

There is a chance that your advantage will put me at a disadvantage.

So it appears that you still don't trust me. What'll it take?

The Reanimation Jutsu. Prove to me right now that it really requires living bodies.

And...

Tell me all of its secrets. Including how to stop it!

And if I say no?

You will surely not reach what you desire, and what you desire will become something else.

It will be your life!

Taking on the Rinnegan now won't help me.

Well, I still have a hand to play. No need to rush it.

Very well. But there's no one here to use as a sacrifice.

And as I told you, this woman is off-limits.

Just who are these two? Wait, aren't they?

Danzo's lapdogs.

They've been under a Sharingan-based genjutsu since I captured them.

[crack]

You certainly are merciless.

I've done the prep work for you.

Recall the soul of the one I just killed and revive him in the other with the Reanimation Jutsu.

Just so you know, this is categorized as a type of Summoning Jutsu.

It involves summoning a soul of one of the dead back from the Afterlife,

and bringing it to this world.

To achieve that, you need a certain amount of flesh,

taken from the person that you want to revive.

Any tissue that contains personal identification material.

Without it, the Reanimation Jutsu won't work.

Howerver, spirits that can't be found,

for example, those that have been sealed away in another place,

cannot be revived in this way.

In the past, Lord Orochimaru tried to bring back the Fourth Hokage and failed.

The god of death now has the Hokage's soul because Minato used the Reaper Death Seal.

And during the destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village, the Third Hokage also used the same sealing jutsu.

Uwagh!

The First and Second Hokage were taken along, too.

Which means the Reanimation Jutsu can't be used on the First through Fourth Hokage?

Yes, that's right.

I've revived many.

But harvesting their personal information material was a real ordeal.

It's essentially just grave robbing.

Sometimes they're so rotted, you can't even tell who it is.

I had a lot of failures along the way.

That's the jutsu formula?

Yeaarrghh!

That's it. That's how you turn a living person into a vessel for the dead one's soul.

That completes the Reanimation Jutsu.

[gasping]

Where am I?!

This is truly the greatest and most powerful jutsu in all of the shinobi world.

Developed by the Second Hokage and perfected by Lord Orochimaru, it remains their greatest legacy.

This tag suppresses free will.

Once given certain commands, the revived recovers all abilities possessed during life.

And then he becomes an immortal pawn, bound to follow all of my orders.

Even rare and unusual abilities like the Rinnegan of the Six Paths and Itachi's Sharingan are restored.

But, I wasn't able to find Shisui Uchiha's body.

And Jiraiya's body was deep underwater, where the pressure prevented retrieval.

Now, as for Danzo's right eye and the Six Pain's weapons,

I don't have all their personal information material, but--

Don't push your luck.

Well, all right. I suppose we have enough pawns for now.

Such an ideal jutsu. It must have some serious risks.

[chuckle]

That is the most brilliant part of this jutsu!

There is no risk to the caster at all!

[incredulous] What?

Yes, it's true.

The Reanimation Jutsu doesn't carry any risk with it.

Well, except for one possibility.

Hmm?

Because it is such an amazing and powerful jutsu,

whoever wields it is sure to become famous far and wide.

I will eventually be more well known than even Madara Uchiha.

Then again, a bookworm like me really has zero desire for fame.

I don't want to become a target.

Don't get ahead of yourself!

Every action is followed by reaction.

You need to stay focused.

Thank you for the warning. I think the only real risk to this jutsu,

Is simply that I've given you this information about it.

All right, I'm leaving now.

We academics are better suited to being in gloomy places.

Hold it! You haven't told me how to stop the Reanimation Jutsu!

Oh, yes! That's right, I almost forgot about that part, didn't I?

Even killing the caster won't stop this jutsu.

So how does one stop it?

It's simple.

You manipulate the controller of the Reanimation Jutsu into weaving the signs,

dog, horse, and tiger, and then uttering, "Release."

You could use your Sharingan, perhaps.

Or your other choice is to seal away the revived souls.

You had better not be lying.

Believe me, I'm not brave enough to lie to you.

Anyway, this conversation is over.

I told you all that you have to do.

I'm leaving.

As long as I have the Reanimation Jutsu and that other jutsu, I'm invincible.

One day I'll unravel the truth of the Sage of Six Paths.

Did you stick a White Zetsu spore on him?

Of course.

Then, Black Zetsu, you ought to get started on our other program.

All right.

[Ao] We would have missed this without Muta Aburame's intel.

A large army's coming underground! We must extend our sensing range deeper!

It appears that they're planning on passing right under our troops' feet!

Will they attack us from the rear?!

Gahh! Dig 'em up with Earth Style!

We have to notify Kitsuchi of this immediately.

Intel Unit! Relay this to Kitsuchi.

Tell him the following:

Incoming!

Got it.

There's new intel!

Well, it's about time!

There's approximately twenty thousand enemy,

underground at coordinates twenty-five by thirty!

So that's their plan.

Reinforcements. Come.

Reanimation Jutsu.

And it has been refined since Second Hokage Tobirama's time.

It's really quite a feat to control this many souls at one time.

Kiba! And Shino!

That sure was quick, Kiba.

They told us to rendezvous with you guys here.

So does that mean the enemy's nearby?

[both] Ready...

[both] All right, Earth Style: Erupt!

[Zabuza] It seems that this is neither heaven nor hell.

[Kakashi] This is the world of the living. You shouldn't be here.

[Haru] Please, Kakashi, you must stop us once again!

[Zabuza] I already died once. I died human!

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: An Old Nemesis Returns.

[Kakashi] Yes, I know.
