What's wrong?

The enemy's disguising themselves as allies!

That means you could be an enemy, too!

We can't trust anyone!

What is going on here?! There's confusion spreading everywhere in the allied ranks!

What?! Granny?!

Uh! What up, bra?

Bee! Get your eyes up here now! Have some respect for the Hokage!

Oh no, Bro! I'm just shocked, that's all. I promise you I meant no offense.

It's just that the Hokage's jugs are definitely immense!

We're here to stop you!

You will not pass!

It looks like Naruto's in control of the Nine Tails' power. Well done, Naruto.

Such immense chakra!

Listen, Bro, please. You gotta let Naruto go free. This is a personal plea. I can

can vouch for him, that I guarantee.

Enough! Silence! We're fighting to protect you both! If you're captured-

The enemy will complete their jutsu. And the world will end. Iruka Sensei told us.

So why are you doing this?! Are you both fools?!

(annoyed grunt)

It's because of all that! It's because they're protecting us! I can't stand

that people are dying for me!

So what if we do manage to win this war?! And only I'm left!

It just isn't worth it!

I don't want that!

But it would be better than the whole world ending! That's the reason why people are

prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect you!

I can't sit here doing nothing! Not when I'm unharmed and people are out there fighting for

me! That's not the kind of person I am! I can't!

Besides!

Enough! You still shall not pass!

If you won't listen...

He can keep up with me in this mode?!

What is that punch?! Man, it's powerful! Gotta avoid a direct hit!

Granny Tsunade, you understand, don't you?! I can stop this war, I know it!

Let me go!

Please, Granny...

I'm a part of the Allied Shinobi Forces now, Naruto. And the orders I've been given

are to stop you. Even though I'm Hokage, I still can't act independently on this matter!

(disappointed sigh)

All right. I understand the position that you're in, Granny. So...

I'll force my way out!

Faster this time!

How's this?!

You're fast, old man Raikage.

Nine Tails Chakra Mode is able to match the Raikage's speed! That's just incredible!

There's no shinobi who's faster than I am. Not since the Fourth Hokage died!

Huh?! Wait, you knew my dad?!

Yes, we exchanged blows many times. I found him to be a noble man.

A finer shinobi never lived.

Jiraiya, one of the Leaf's three great shinobi, called him a Child of Prophecy,

a savior.

But even with all his power, why is he not here to help? Because he

underestimated the tailed beast. You are his son, have you learned nothing

from his sacrifice?!

You continue to talk of uncertain outcomes, and yet-

You know what?

Just stop it. Don't talk about my father.

Back then, when you were first born...

Minato said, "I'm a father now!" And he cried!

And...

He was ready to die for his son.

He sealed half of the Nine Tails' overpowering chakra inside himself.

Stopping the upheaval in the world. Dealing with Madara and the calamity he wanted to

unleash. He left it all to his son.

He died, bequeathing everything to you, Naruto. Believing in you!

My dad...

He believed in you with all his heart!

You're wrong! The Fourth Hokage did not fail that day!

If you continue to insist on going...

I will kill you right here and now!

What?! No! Raikage!

That will at least buy us a little time until the Nine Tails is revived.

And then our enemy will be forced to delay his plans!

Looks like you want to die.

Wait!

Bee! What is this?!

Ah! He stopped him!

You kill him, and it's the same as killing me and the Eight Tails, you see why? If we die,

the enemy's plans would also go awry!

To let Naruto go to the battlefield, my life I'd gladly yield.

Octopops...

Raikage! You can't make arbitrary decisions without the other Allied leaders!

I won't allow it, Supreme Commander!

My duty to the Allied Shinobi Forces is to ensure victory in this war! And I'll do

anything to achieve that!

Then like the Eight Tails said, why target Naruto over him?

If push comes to shove, then I'm prepared to kill anyone, even my own younger brother!

But if I have to choose, then the one I pick is Naruto!

Bee is the Jinchuriki who can control his Tailed Beast's power, which makes him a

stronger military asset.

Now let go, Bee!

No way, fool ya fool!

Listen to me, you Jinchuriki can't just run around doing whatever you please!

You belong to your nation and to your village! You maintain the balance of power

for your people. Yours is a very special existence! You can't do whatever

you want! You must understand your position!

That might be so, but inside of me, hidden, there's something personal called spirit

that I can't abandon, no matter what may happen.

Because with that gone, I'm just another weapon.

(angry growl)

Just tell me why! Why are you defending this boy, Bee?!

We're bumping fists...

You gotta understand! Can't you read what's in my soul, my brother?

Doesn't seem like any decent prospects this time.

Okay, listen up, all of you!

Only one of you can prove worthy to inheriting the title of Bee.

Ay here is a candidate to be named as the next Raikage! You all know that here in the Hidden

Cloud, each Raikage is assigned a tag team partner.

Someone who will draw out the Raikage's full power. And to be "Bee" is to be the bodyguard

of the Raikage.

We'll test your compatibility with Ay, one by one.

Try to chop off this dummy's head by teaming up with Ay and using the Double Lariat on it.

Remember! The Double Lariat will only work correctly if equal strength is applied

from both sides.

If one side is too strong or too weak, the head will only bend!

First, bump fists with Ay to determine how much power you should use.

Then you'll test out your Double Lariat on the dummy!

Okay! Let's start with you on the far right.

Thank you, sir! I'm honored!

Ahhh!

Ahhahhahh!

Next!

Yes, sir!

Hnh!

Ahh!

Next!

Yes, sir!

(fighting grunts)

Next!

Yes, sir!

(attacking grunts)

Next!

Yes, sir!

Agh!

Next!

Yes, sir!

It appears that we won't find anyone this time, either.

If he'd had any siblings, we wouldn't have to go through all of this over and over again.

Next!

Hm...

Wait, look, Lord Raikage.

Seems we may have found one.

Wheeeee!

(chuckle)

You're a bit of an odd one.

Bump fists with me one more time.

We two are brothers from this day on! Nice to know you, Bee.

Let's do it, Bee.

Show you know the plan by bumping fists, man. "Kay, bro.

Yeah!

Yeah! Eat up, now! You can't keep up with me if you don't get bigger and stronger!

Okay, Brotha!

Our next mission is a scroll recovery.

Wait, no way!

Yes, way! 'Kay, Bro?

Is he asleep?

Yeah...

Bee's a good shinobi. He's got talent, too.

Though not really as a rapper. You know what I'm talking about?

(chuckling)

Yes, I agree.

He'll probably be next, the Jinchuriki of the Eight Tails after me.

Have you heard for sure if that's going to be the elders' decision?

No, no one's said anything.

Both my old man and my uncle failed. And I'm not compatible either.

Listen, as your cousin, I think-

But come on, you've kept the Eight Tails under control up until this point. So-

Just listen to me!

Only a Jinchuriki would understand.

Even your close friends look at you differently after the process.

Well, they might believe that they're treating you the same. But they're not really...

You can never look back, only toward the future. But that future is filled with darkness and loneliness.

Have you achieved compatibility, if you walk through life with the shadow of your death.

It fills your whole mind day in and day out, until you become so consumed you don't

know who or what you are. It feels like someone made a hole in your heart.

And the Tailed Beast constantly waits to pounce on that weakened heart and run amok.

You live with the constant fear of death. You'd soon rather just die.

But still, you have a knack for ninjutsu as well as skill, ancestry, virtue, everything!

True. That's the exact reasoning that they used then they chose me to become the Eight

Tails' Jinchuriki. But...

To be honest, none of those things are necessary to be a Jinchuriki.

Oh? So what is, then?

Having something that can fill that hole in your heart!

And what is it? That something?

It can be anything. You'll know it when you find it. Because it will keep you strong.

So, make sure that Bee finds it.

Another failure. This time, eight people were victims of his rampage.

The Eight Tails' is very powerful. He's much more difficult to contain than the Two Tails.

How much more can we take? How much longer will we have to go through this?

The next Jinchuriki is supposed to be...

...that child.

It's quite an honor to be the Tailed Beast host! So, now I pay tribute to your sacrifice, no boast!

Yeah!

I don't think he'll make it.

You brat! How dare you kill my comrades!

So you continue to insult me and treat me with contempt?!

Let's do it, Bee.

Okay, you got it, Bro!

Hold on! This brat's Bee?! Then that means you two must be the A/B combo?!

So you must be familiar with our technique, then?

(scared gasp)

The Double Lariat?!

Bee, we still have a long way to go before the Double Lariat is where it needs to be.

I'm still toning down my strength to match yours. You're going to have to get stronger!

(insulted grunt)

Yeah, yeah, I know. I got it, fool, ya fool!

How dare you address your big brother as "fool, ya fool!" This means the Iron Claw for you!

I'm gonna surpass you someday, you'll see! And on that day, I'll be carefree!

The trick to this technique is keeping both our strengths equal. You're going

to have to bring yourself up to par.

That sounds ideal to me. And I'll do it, too, you'll see! Easy as one-two-three!

'Cause talking down to you is my fantasy!

(chuckling)

Such delusions will have to wait until you've honed your Lariat!

This is it.

We'll seal the Eight Tails inside Bee tonight.

Yeah.

Having something that can fill that hole in your heart.

It can be anything. You'll know it when you find it.

So, make sure that Bee finds it.

Yo, what's up, Bro?

Hm?

In a little while you're going to become a Jinchuriki.

Everything's going to change. Your life is going to be very hard.

Oh! No sweat, I kinda figured that might happen.

Maybe I'll name that octopus while I do my own rappin'. I'll get all eight tentacles clappin'!

Listen up, Bee. Always tell me everything, you understand me?

No secrets. Because you're very special to me! You and I are the ultimate tag team!

(pleased chuckle)

Even with the Steel Shell Seal, I wouldn't be surprised if the Eight Tails' goes crazy.

We'd better stay on guard and keep an eye on him.

Wheee!

The Eight Tails, that be me, the rappin' Killer Bee, on the scene so take heed!

Yeah! Fa show!

The blonde hair and the Teleportation Jutsu! That's gotta be the Leaf's Yellow

Flash! We gotta retreat right now, don't you think?!

So that's him. The one who singlehandedly stopped our recovery of the Nine Tails.

And I know you. You're the son of the Hidden Cloud's Third Raikage. You're called Unruly Ay.

I've heard that you're quite fast yourself.

Hmph! We can take him, the two of us, Bro! Fool, ya fool!

Everyone, stay out of this.

I'll fight them!

He countered me at my top speed!

That's...

Forgive me, Bee. You doing all right?

Whoa, no way.

Then is he the Eight Tails' Jinchuriki?! Not good.

That's the signal! Minato! We need to retreat!

That was nothin'!

At least, for the Eight Tails', that be me, the rappin' Killer Bee!

You really are quite brave. You overcame being Eight Tails' Jinchuriki, to be

your own ninja. You have something very powerful.

Hmmh! He's more talented than even I am!

No, it's more than that. He already has something even more important.

Hm?

Ay, you have a very fine family. As do I.

I suspect the next time we meet, we'll be fighting as one Kage against another.

But if you don't figure out soon what your little brother considers most precious to him, he will

be neither a Jinchuriki nor human.

Hmph! Don't try to fool me with that nonsense! You're not getting away!

The Teleportation Jutsu takes him to the kunai marked with jutsu formulas. I've noted

the location of most of them.

If I can figure out which one he'll pop up at, I can get him using my top speed.

Anyway, I have my own responsibilities so...

Go fly!

Now, which kunai?

I cannot fail now.

Hm?!

Oh no!

A Teleportation Jutsu Formula on the Eight Tails' tentacle!

Was that when he did it?

I'm prepared for a mutual strike. So shall we stab each other with these spikes?

You're my enemy, but I'm starting to like you.

You've got the moves of a shinobi killer.

Even if you were to kill Naruto, and buy us some time until the Nine Tails comes

back to life, I doubt the next Jinchuriki will be able to control the Nine Tail's power

to this degree! Since we don't have any idea which way this war will go, let's use all the

weapons we've got, including the Jinchuriki! I will let Naruto pass!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Two Suns.

Now you're talking! That's the Granny Hokage I know!
