Nine Tails' chakra mode.

It's great for lighting up the night, but it could cause Naruto lots of strife, even cost

him his life. It's like a double- edged knife.

Naruto may have learned to use the Nine Tails' Chakra Mode, but he hasn't

made the Nine Tails' his friend yet.

The Nine Tails' continues to sap Naruto's chakra.

And if it reaches zero, he'll die.

Oh, yeah. His tension is high, but stopping his passion would be a real shame. That

would make me cry.

I guess it's okay to use the Nine Tails' chakra like a flashlight...

But stick close to Naruto! Don't let him out of your sight!

Yeah!

Naruto...

You waste my chakra on something so trivial?!

I've been inside you, watching you, for a very long time now.

Naruto...

After all you've been through, you're still so naive...

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.

You know, it looks like you've put on some weight. Let me guess, you're using

my chakra again, aren't you? And what's got you talking to me all

of a sudden, anyway? Usually you never say anything to me at all unless I make you!

What, are you lonely or something and you want somebody to keep

you company for a little while?

'Cause I'm kinda busy now! Let's do this later!

Do you seriously believe that you can end this war all by yourself?

It's simply not possible.

I'm sure you've sensed by now just how massive the enemy force is.

This is Madara we're talking about, after all. There's no telling what he'll do...

Of course, if you want to borrow more of my power...

Hmph! I'm not gonna fall for that trick anymore!

(chuckling)

I see you've gotten a bit smarter since last time...

I am when it's that obvious!

We'll talk after the war. Later.

If your comrades are killed, hatred will arise from their deaths.

Are you planning to defeat all of the enemy before that happens?

Then again, if you take down the enemy, they'll bear you hatred.

You really think you can take that on all by yourself?

If you do, then you're completely deluded.

Stop treating me like I'm stupid.

Stop treating me like I'm stupid.

You don't understand a thing! You're so naive!

Do you honestly believe that you can take on and erase everyone's hatred?

The war has already started.

I bet there are a lot of casualties by now.

And the resulting hatred to match as well.

You've seen it firsthand. Your former teammate Sasuke has been gripped by hatred for a long time.

Have you ever really been able to do anything for him at all?

Ever since that day. That's right. You've known it ever since that day.

I wonder who I'm going to be fighting...Hm? Which one of these guys is it gonna be?

The one with the dog for a hat? Or the kid with the hood and the shades?

Or...

So, um, Sensei?

What is it?

Uh, the thing is. I really don't want to have to fight against my friends, you know?

Well...Look, Choji, this isn't like a fight.

This is traditional Shinobi hand-to-hand combat! Even our Hokage and those before him

participated in such drills and became stronger through sparring.

Yeah, uhh, look, Sensei just go ahead and put down that I went out of bounds, okay?

And then you can move on to the next pair.

Hey. Wait!

You might be calling this training or whatever, but if there's gonna be a

winner, then it's actually a match. And since that's the case, wouldn't it

save you some trouble to decides who wins from the start?

(sigh)

Boy, he really has no motivation. He is never gonna make chunin like that!

That's not necessarily true.

Huh?

It's because, people can change over the course of a lifetime. A lot can happ-

You are so hung up on minor details!

Come on, Shikamaru! You are the laziest kid that I've ever met!

And Choji, you're just a coward!

Hey, Ino, do you know those two boys or something?

Yeah, our parents are friends.

Forget it... Shikamaru, Choji, give the Unison Sign.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Hm...

Mm...

I'm really sorry, Shikamaru.

Nah, it's okay. I know that you stink at stuff like this.

And it's a drag for me, too.

Mm-hm! Good, Unison Sign complete! Next up is, Naruto Uzumaki.

You better believe it!

Wait, is he the one...?

My parents said that I wasn't supposed to talk to him...

Out of everyone here I wanna be paired with him the least!

And Sasuke Uchiha! Step forward, you two!

Sasuke! Get him!

Go, Sasuke!

I wish I could do the Unison Sign with Sasuke!

You've got this, Sasuke!

You're totally gonna win I'm sure of it!

Mmm! What's with him acting all cool! Dammit! Why does he get all the attention!

I'm gonna take Mr. Popular down and become the new hero!

Let's go! I'm gonna win this for sure!

Um, best of luck, Naru-

Take him down, Sasuke!

All right, it's Naruto Uzumaki versus Sasuke Uchiha-

Come on! Let's just do this idiot!

Hey, stop that, Naruto! You need to make the proper Spar Sign before you

two begin! It's simple etiquette.

I don't care about any of that stuff I just want to hurry up and defeat this

jerk already! It's time for a new Mr. Popular around here, you know?!

Whatever, loser. But I'll make it quick, if that's what you want.

Enough, both of you! Good grief! Shinobi Hand-to- Hand combat is a

traditional drill passed down from generation to generation.

You might think it's stuffy to be so formal,

but here at the Academy we have respect for tradition. This stuff matters!

First you always face and make this one- handed sign toward your opponent before starting.

It represents half of the two hands used to activate a jutsu and

indicates your intention to fight.

Now, we call this the Spar Sign.

When you finish sparring and the bout is concluded, you each extend forth the Unison Sign and lock

your fingers around each other's. This indicates that you recognize each other

as comrades. That's the etiquette of shinobi hand-to-hand combat.

Are you listening, Naruto? I've explained it twice now!

Yeah, yeah...

Come on! One yes is fine, you fool!

I get it, okay?!

Naru-

Pound that kid into the ground, Sasuke!

Begin!

Whoa! He's so cool!

Oh, Sasuke, you rock!

Whoa... So fast!

Sasuke...

That look in his eyes...

It's the same look that everyone gives me.

No...

No, it's stronger than that.

Wait...

...it's not for me.

Sasuke wins. Now, make the Unison Sign. So we can move on.

Hey, come back!

Huh?

You weren't even looking at me! That didn't count! You're a turd! No, you're

crap! Hard and runny! You're stupid! Stupid!

Uh, that's not really an insult. This guy's so dense, he can't even swear properly.

I wish he'd make up his mind. You can't have be constipated and have the runs, th-

Again, hung up on minor details!

Hmph!

Got something to say to me, you hard and runny crap-turd?!

Ow!

I told you, Hand- to-Hand Combat is a sacred tradition! Now make the Unison Sign!

And you, too! Do it, Sasuke!

Come on, you two...

You wanna go another round, you loser?!

Hey! Enough! Quit it, both of you!

Naruto's just the worst!

Yeah, what's up with him?

It appears you do remember...

So, what happened to Sasuke after that? Where is he now? Where you able to

erase his hatred? No, in fact, quite the opposite, right?

Just snap out of it already, will ya?!

What the heck do you know about it. It's not like you ever had a family in the first place!

You were on your own right from the beginning! You don't know anything about it!

Naruto...

No matter what you may say to me now, I'm not changing.

I'm still going to kill each and every person in the Hidden Leaf, including you!

But, is that really the only way, Sasuke?

Yes.

Your only choices are to kill me and become the hero who saved the entire village...

...or get killed by me and be known as a loser!

His hatred has grown ever stronger! You weren't even able to protect someone you

consider to be your closest friend!

No matter who you're dealing with, no one can erase or fight that much hatred.

And you certainly can't take it all on yourself.

Okay...

You finished?

What did you say?!

I get it. Are you just trying to scare me into doing nothing?

That's exactly what you want, Nine Tails.

Isn't it?

Hey...

You're the one who doesn't get it.

Who are you to be so confident, when you couldn't even save Sasuke?

(painful growl)

Once you question your beliefs, then it's all over. I don't know how yet,

but I will find a way to save Sasuke and stop this war!

(worried growl)

A Ritual Altar? He's planning to seal me up again! Not inside that baby?!

All right look, you stupid fox! You're in my body, and you owe me rent! So for

payment, I'll take your chakra! You got that?

All right...

You're done! Sage Art!

Massive Rasengan Barrage!

Once more!

What kind of power is this?!

No way! This is really the Nine Tails...

Naruto... How dare you!

You have infuriated me! Naruto!

You still have this much power?!

Wow. You really are amazing.

(angry growl)

Isn't this the Six Paths?!

You'd better watch out, Naruto...

Hah!

So the little brat thinks it's all grown up, does it?

Hey! You know what, Nine Tails?

Hnh! I believe I'm gonna come after all of that hate that's

inside of you, too, someday!

You've made me miserable my whole life.

But I know just how bad it feels to be at the mercy of your hatred and to feel ruined by it.

Arrgh! Are you stupid?! I am the Nine Tails! I can't and won't be changed

by some mere brat! I am hatred!

That's fine by me. 'Cause I'm not a little brat anymore. And it's more

challenging this way.

Later!

Nine Tails...

Maybe you're right. Maybe I am naive. It's funny. You've always been with me,

inside me. Like how mom and dad stayed with me. You know everything about how

I feel, and everything that I went through growing up. Of course I'm pretty sure you

didn't like doing it, but still, you continued to watch over me this whole time.

That's why...

I want you to stay there a little longer and watch over me.

Sasuke, you too.

You might never have cared about me at all from the very start.

I've always been watching you...

...Always.

That's right! I'm gonna help Sasuke and stop this war!

Yo!

Naruto, you're shining bright, but you're looking awfully grave in this full-moonlight.

So try to lighten up, all right?

Yeah!

Hm? What's this? Did you have a fight with the Nine Tails again, my good friend?

Tailed Beast Mode's a tug of war, 'tween Nine Tails chakra and yours. When your chakra

runs out, it's curtains, no doubt!

So don't be too reckless, yo!

I know that I'm taking a chance. But I have no choice.

I don't go back on my word, ever. Because that's my nindo, my ninja way.

Hm?

Now hurry up! Let's go!

Hey, wait for me, yo!

There you go. I've taken care of your external wounds. Please get some rest.

You doing all right? It appears that they're targeting out Medic Ninja.

Yes, Neji.

It's easy to get discouraged. We don't even know who it is that we're supposed

to be fighting right now.

Next Time On Naruto Shippuden: Medic Ninja In Danger.

I know. We have to be careful.
