In order to protect the Yamanaka and Nara Clans and the Hidden Leaf Village, I, Choji

Akimichi swear to transform from a lowly caterpillar to a powerful butterfly!

And take flight!

And it's simply this, that I have nothing left to say to you.

Your Ino-Shika-Cho formation is complete.

Thank you...

I'm going to end this entire battle right now.

But I'll need you, Shikamaru and Ino. So please help me out, okay?

Y'know, Choji... I've known you practically forever now...

But I've never seen you take charge like this!

You're just not getting it. Half- hearted attention.

And not enough preparation.

Sorry, something's been bugging me for a while, and I can't get it out of my mind!

What is it?

Well... A while ago, I thought that I sensed the Nine Tails' chakra, you know?

But there's no way that somebody else has the Nine Tails' chakra right?

So I don't know what it was...

Must've imagined it. 'Cause chakra here is entirely cut off, both inside and out.

And Nine Tails is only inside you. It's a bad joke, no doubt.

Naruto's beginning to figure things out. The Gold and Silver Brothers also possess

the Nine Tails' chakra. Which would mean that Orochimaru's jutsu has reanimated them.

However, he has the power to perceive the chakra more intensely in this room.

We can't fool him much longer. What'll you do, Bee? You have to do something.

Like what?

What do you mean? Weren't you paying attention to the plan?

You can't let Naruto out of this space!

But that's what you're here for Eight-O!

What? Damn it.

Uh, where's the bathroom?

The first doorway on the left, outside. You can't miss it.

You idiot! He'll escape the space go with him!

Ohh...

Don't panic! Contact HQ!

What's that? The Nine Tails is attempting to escape?!

And what's Bee doing about it?!

Well, sir, Lord Bee wasn't really paying too much attention back when, you know...

But I have taken other measures. Lady Tsunade, please give the order...

Right.

Stop right there, Naruto!

Why are there so many guards?!

I knew something was up!

Look, Naruto, I'm sorry but I cannot let you get by.

Please cooperate and go back to that room.

I don't understand what's going on. Why is Shino's dad here?

And why are all you guys watching me?!

Enough just go inside. We'll talk there.

No, I won't. I don't see why you can't tell me out here.

Shibi, let me talk to him.

(gasp)

I-Iruka Sensei?!

Wait, hold on... What are you doing here on this island?!

(chuckle)

There's a second mission to accomplish here. And we were sent over to provide

some backup for you. We've heard that this place is quite dangerous.

Why can't I go outside?!

It appears that there's a new species of animal living here. And our job will be to identify it.

That's because-

You know, I wonder... I sensed the Nine Tails' chakra. Is that related somehow?

He could sense Kinkaku and Ginkaku's chakra even in here?! Where all chakra is blocked out?

We cannot let him go outside. It would be too dangerous!

Do your best to convince him, Iruka.

Oh, uh... Maybe!

The creature does appear to possess the Nine Tails' chakra. I guess

there are others like the Nine Tails here, although this creature isn't a Tailed Beast.

If you go outside and the creature somehow responds to the Nine Tails chakra you

possess, it's over for you.

That's why we want you to stay inside and keep hidden.

Is this creature the reason why Captain Yamato hasn't come back yet?

That's right. Wood Style works best to suppress the Nine Tails' chakra, of course.

You know that all too well.

Come on, let's go back inside, all right?

Master Bee stands atop the island's hierarchy of beasts. He's tamed every one of them.

Huh... That feeling I had when I did that fist bump with Master Bee...

That was for real!

I can stop any creatures that try to mess with me.

Let me out so I can see what's going on!

We can't let Naruto escape.

On it!

Okay! I've got him with Shadow Possession!

(gasp)

What's happening?! What was that?!

He sensed everything in Sage Mode.

What's going on?! Why is all this happening?!

War's being waged.

Madara has declared war.

No, Iruka! Don't do this!

Look, Shibi, I've had enough. The lying stops right now. I know Naruto

can handle it. He needs to know the whole truth, and then he can

make a more informed decision.

But why have you been hiding all of this from me?! My comrades are out there fighting

and going through all kinds of hell without me!

Because part of this war is to make sure you remain protected from Madara.

Madara has launched an all-out assault. His goal is to capture you and Lord Killer Bee,

and extract the Eight and Nine Tails from inside you.

If he can extract both Tailed Beasts, then he'll complete his jutsu. And the

entire world will end. So by protecting you, we'll be protecting the future and everybody

around the world.

We're all putting our lives on the line, fighting to keep you safe.

Naruto, your fight will be with yourself.

Because you'll have to stay here.

There will never be such a thing as true peace! Not as long as we're forced

to live in this accursed world!

Peace is impossible! Impossible!

Well, then...

I'm gonna break that curse one day. If there's truly such a thing as peace in

this world. Then somehow, I'll find it.

And I'll never give up!

That's why no matter how much pain my own path brings, I'll keep walking.

Because that's who Naruto is!

War inflicts death, injury, and pain on everyone. The truth is, the more

precious someone is to us...

The harder it is for us to accept that they might die. You might try to

find meaning in war, but all there is, is loss and unbearable pain.

All that senseless death, it unleashes a cycle of violence and hatred that never ends.

War creates only more war.

And those are the things you will face in the coming days, Naruto.

It seems that this is finally going to be it for me...

Naruto, I think you of all people can bring peace.

Nagato, what you said to me, is this what you meant?

Now, let's go back.

I can stop this. I know that I can. You have to let me!

I'll take it all on myself, all the hatred and all the pain.

Because that's my role.

Haven't you been listening to me at all?! You have the Nine Tails inside

you! This isn't just about you, Naruto!

You know, you were the very first person to acknowledge me, Iruka Sensei...

Why are you worried about the Nine Tails now? Why can't you trust me and have

faith in me!

Don't act like a spoiled brat! Do you know what you are to me?!

(laughing)

Why are you protecting that freak? He's the one that wiped out your family.

He wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance!

I mean that is how beasts are, after all...

You're right...

That is how beasts are!

However, that's not who Naruto is, not at all!

Naruto's one of a kind. Works hard, puts his whole heart into it.

Sure, he messes up. And gets jumped on.

But his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast.

So you're wrong, he's nothing like the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He is a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village. And his name is, Naruto Uzumaki!

You see, to me, you...

You remain one of my most important students. Also...

I think of you as my little brother.

The enemy leader is targeting you with everything he's got.

How can I stand here and let that happen? Let you face such danger?

And besides, there's no reason for you to shoulder that burden alone.

Look, I'm not just some little kid anymore!

I'm strong now!

Remember, Sensei, you are the one who gave me that headband.

Hey, Iruka.

I can't!

I'm sorry, but I just can't let you leave this place.

Sensei, didn't I tell you that I'm stronger now?

You can't keep me here!

He broke free!

I'll stop him!

My Parasitic Insects can't handle the Nine Tails' chakra!

Temui! I want you to contact the Barrier Corps, now. Tell them that Naruto is coming!

Right!

And the rest of you come with me! Let's go!

Why?! Why, Iruka Sensei?!

Huh?!

What is this?!

Knowing you. I'm sure that you're going to rush right to the battlefield.

I also know how determined you are. The fact that you're reading this means

that I wasn't able to stop you.

Ever since Lady Tsunade tasked me with going to the Cloud's secret

hidden island in order to keep you there, I've had this on hand.

I've kept this letter ready just in case I failed.

I'm disappointed in myself for failing. I don't know if I'll ever be able to give

you this note, but still, there's something that you need to hear from me.

You've gone off, so this is the only thing that I have left to say.

No matter what happens, come back alive!

Forgive me, Naruto. I'm weak.

I think of myself as your big brother, but I've never been able to protect you.

So the little guy's already gone, huh? Fool, that fool.

Killer Bee? That's who you are, right? I need to ask something of you right now.

Hm? Wait, who is this guy? I've seen him somewhere before, haven't I?

Please, I beg you to keep Naruto safe!

Hold on, that's not the way to appeal, you see. What you should do is raise

your fist with me.

Oh, uh... Is it like this?

Now you got me for real! Fool, ya fool!

Oh wait, I get it. It's you...

Huh?

Can you really keep this promise, Bee? Naruto did get out on your watch, after all.

Hey, if he couldn't stop the little fool's plan. Then frankly, no one can.

You're part of Naruto's private clan. You're always in his heart. And in his mind.

What? Me? I am?

Naruto need you. Now, don't be stunned. To him, it's no doubt that you're number one.

So whatever you've done, to Naruto you shine like the sun and you're just as golden.

Naruto listens to all you say, and he's kept it securely inside him to this day.

What's protected Naruto all this time, were your words to him.

You're really going to chase Naruto outside the barrier?

Yeah, of course I am! I'm still training him, fool ya fool!

You'll be getting the Iron Claw from the Raikage for sure.

Look, a real battle always teaches you more than merely training, anyway!

It's a shortcut to power up, ya fool!

What is the meaning of this, Tsunade?! The Nine Tails already got past our men?!

Iruka...

We'll just have to use brute force to stop him.

Is the Barrier Corps ready?

There's a thirty- six-layer self- regenerating barrier around the island.

Even a Jinchuriki couldn't get through that. So please, rest assured.

It's Naruto! He's coming!

Good! The Barrier Corps will show everyone what were made of!

The time has come! Our blood, sweat, and tears will now reveal just what

we can do with this impenetrable barrier!

We will not let him pass!

The only message Headquarter will receive from us is, "Mission Accomplished."

Do you understand!

Huh?

Ahh!

What is this?!

There's a barrier beyond that. And you and I are gonna break it, stat!

All right, Octopops!

I'll break the barrier, ya fool! And then Naruto, you get the Tailed

Beast Bomb in, ya fool!

Right!

Killer Bee the Eight Tails is here, as well!

What's that?! No!

All right! Now here we go! Ya fool!

(powerful yell)

It's no good!

The barrier can't regenerate quickly enough!

Ooh, that means that at this rate...

Well, Chief. What exactly do you want me to relay to Headquarters, then?

That our mission failed!

Yeah, I kinda figured that.

(powerful yell)

Damn it!

They're out!

(exhausted moans)

But there were two of them. Two jinchuriki! No one told us to expect

that! W-what could I do?!

(weary sigh)

Incredible chakra! An immense chakra field has appeared on the battlefield

near Darui's First company! What is it?

It's some sort of humanoid monster! It's ravaging our troops! And it

appears to be controlled by...

Who is it?!

We believe it's Madara Uchiha!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Attack of the Gedo Statue.

Gedo Statue! Go!
