[whistling]

Huh?

Yota! Please! You have to stop!

Yota!

Yota!

Naruto!

Sakura?!

Did you just say Yota?

Do you mean that he's there with you too?

What do you mean there with you too?!

He's also with you?!

It's not only Sakura. He's with us, too! And Kiba as well!

Yeah...And he's really going all out.

But can there be four Yotas?!

You know...I wonder if he's angry with us. And that's why he's shown up now.

Maybe he blames us for his death.

Yota isn't some vengeful ghost.

He was reanimated and our enemy controls him!

Get it together, Choji!

[gasp]

With the Reanimation Jutsu, you can bring someone back more than once?! Like Making shadow clones?!

Not until now...

Well, I'm positive that the one I'm facing is the real Yota.

Which means...

The ones that all of you are seeing, could just be copies of that white guy!

It's White Zetsu!

So he isn't the real one, then?!

But this snow is Yota's!

Not quite.

As long as the real one's performing the jutsu, it's possible.

Or rather the one who's controlling him.

You guys! The ones that you're seeing aren't Yota!

So you don't need to feel guilty for taking him down!

And if you do, just let me take on your guilt, all right?!

Now get them! Take down the imposters!

Naruto...

[giggling]

Yota...I'm sorry.

Yota...

Super Expansion Jutsu!

Shadow Possession Jutsu!

[anxious reaction]

Yota!

[whimpering]

Even if he was an imposter...

Let's go, Akamaru!

[eager snarling]

[angry grunt]

I've had enough of this.

[whining]

[battle cry]

[slow panting]

Yota...

Back then, we really did try our best to save Yota...

But...

Here I am, all alone again...

Nope, there are six of us!

Well, plus one dog.

Yeah, all of us came!

[surprised gasp]

You guys! You can't just barge in here uninvited-

Oh, be quiet! You were lonely right until we showed up. Just admit it!

Yeah! And besides, it's such a nice day outside.

If you just stay cooped up in here like this, no one will ever want to-

[giggling and playing]

Huh?

[playing around]

It's raining.

Hm?

Is it Yota?

You know what? We're gonna get Yota back!

Where are you from?

What village?

I don't know about stuff like nations and villages and things.

Ask me something easier...

Where are you from? What village?

[whimpering]

[crying]

We're getting nowhere.

We'd better ask Lord Third to come before we have to crank up the intensity.

[loud crying]

[loud crying]

Was that...genjutsu? No...

[insane laughter]

Hey! Stop that!

Get down from there!

Yeah, right! Like I'm gonna listen to you losers!

My name's Naruto Uzumaki! I'm a Hidden Leaf Ninja!

What now?

He's one of the students from the Academy who was with the boy we took into custody.

Come on guys, let's see what you've got! Try to catch me if you can!

I'll take on all the ninja in the village! Come and get me!

[chattering and complaining]

Strange. Sun showers...?

That kid's a pain!

That's for sure. And I heard that he messed up Lord Third's Stone Face pretty badly.

Me, too.

I just don't get it. I mean, this is the village where he lives. How could he do something like that?

[yelp]

Hm?

Hm...

Did you see anything?

Hmm, don't think so.

Probably just my imagination.

Yeah, probably.

Please, mister, I'm begging you! Please, can't you just let me go?!

[whimpering]

Shadow Possession Jutsu complete!

[talking over each other excitedly]

You guys!

[panting]

[giggling]

Shikamaru, that was amazing! You pulled off a jutsu against a full-fledged grown-up ninja!

Are you like some kind of genius?

No, he's still wet behind the ears. [shocked reactions]

[grunt]

Don't move.

[startled gasp]

Anyone who threatens the welfare of the village will be treated harshly, even if they're children.

He could be a spy for all you know.

[nervous breathing]

You've gotta be joking! [surprised gasp]

[heavy panting]

No way!

Yota would never do that!

Yota is...The first real and true friend that I've ever had in my entire life!

I'm your real friend?

[painful grunt and gasp]

[shocked gasps]

[whimpering in pain]

[low growling]

[growling and heavy breathing]

He is my friend!

And...He needs me!

[gasp]

[heavy breathing]

Yota!

We've gotta run!

This is bad. That river's deep.

I know! But still, we have to cross it.

Yeah. they're probably after us already.

I wish we'd learned how to walk on water!

Come on! Let's just do it!

[barking]

Let's go. To someplace where Yota can be free!

[surprised reaction]

[gasping for air]

Naruto!

[struggling]

[gasp]

[panting]

Choji!

Shikamaru!

[heavy panting]

Good going, Yota! We'll meet you over here on the shore!

[heavy grunting and breathing]

Thank you, Yota.

Yota!

[gasp]

Yota!

Yota!

Yota!

Yota!

Yota, please!

Yota, answer us!

[shouting all at once]

Please! Yota!

[panting]

Huh?!

Yota!

Yota, are you all right?!

[shouting over each other]

Hey! Yota! Come on it'll be okay!

Yota...

Come on, wake up, Yota.

[whimpering]

[groaning]

Thank goodness you're okay.

You guys...just trust me. Everything's gonna be okay now.

You're gonna be fine! Stop talking like that! Snap out of it, Yota!

Don't you see? I'm already...

No! Don't say it, Yota!

Sorry. If I just hadn't been so reckless...

No, this is all my fault!

[whining]

I should've come up with a different plan! It's my fault!

Yota...

Oh, Yota. I'm sorry...

Time to go...

What are you talking about?! From now on, we're gonna be...

No matter what, I'll never forget you guys.

But...all of you will forget about me.

No, you're being ridiculous! How could we forget you?!

[talking all at once]

You have to forget, or it's too painful.

Yota, I'm your...

Yota...

We all forgot about him.

And about all the fun we had together.

And we forgot that we'd all been friends.

So...I went back to being alone again.

Yota...You know I never wanted to forget about you.

Instead of losing my memory of you...I would much rather live with the guilt of letting you die!

Now, Yota. Do I really have to do it again?!

[grunt]

Do I have to make you suffer one more time?!

[grunt] No, I just can't bear to do it!

[whistling]

Wait, that's...

[whistling]

Naruto, can you hear me? It's me, Yota!

Yota...?!

This is our secret tin can telephone. Just between us!

You mean whoever's controlling you won't be able to hear us?

Naruto, that voice inside your head...

Yota!

Yota!

It's Yota!

[barking]

Sakura! Shikamaru! Ino! Choji! Kiba! Akamaru!

Yota, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...

Why are you saying sorry?

Because we couldn't save you back then. We let you die.

That's why everyone's feeling so sad right now!

Naruto...All of you... Please, don't let what happened worry you.

Because when I met you guys back then...To tell you the truth, I was already dead,

What?

I had been reanimated when I met you the first time.

You didn't let me die, I was already dead.

I was born into a clan that possessed the strange power to control the weather.

We would travel to the villages selling our services.

Altering the weather was our trade.

The whole clan could control the weather, but I was really good at it.

[heavy breathing]

But, since the day that I was born I was very weak...

So I died.

I died, but I wasn't allowed to stay dead.

[painfully screaming]

Yota, go be useful.

The snake and the guy with the glasses said that they were testing the Reanimation Jutsu.

And then they just left me outside your village, Naruto.

I was so sad...

Yota...

Yota...We're so sorry we couldn't stay with you longer.

No, no! No reason for you to be sorry!

Back when I was alive, things were tough a lot of the time.

No matter where I went, I was always alone.

But after I died, I wasn't alone anymore!

I met you guys...And I had so much fun with you!

At the river, I was reanimated once more.

And sadly, I had to go back to living all alone again.

But I had my memories of all of you, so it wasn't too hard.

I'm sorry things had to be this way...But at least I got to see you again!

You've grown up so much, Naruto.

You too, Sakura...

And Shikamaru...

And Ino, and Choji...

And Kiba and Akamaru as well!

Yota, why don't we have some more fun now?

Who cares about the Reanimation Jutsu?!

Like before, all together! We'll get mad, and sad, and have fun!

What do you say?

What? What's happening?!

Kon, kon, kon! Kon, kon, kon!

[anxious reaction]

I'm so happy... I'm having fun!

Yota!

Naruto...All of you! Thank you!

I'm going to go while I'm still happy!

But this time, don't forget me. I want you to remember me. Forever and ever...okay?

No, Yota! Don't do it!

I have no regrets anymore. I can die now, for real.

Bye-bye, Naruto and everyone!

I hope tomorrow is a nice sunny day!

[grunting and panting]

Yota!

[giggling]

[giggling]

I didn't expect to lose this many of my pawns...

So then, what's my next move?

Maybe it's time for me to stir things up a bit on the battlefield.

To think I'd have to resort to sending you guys out.

But...I think you'll be useful to take back the powerful pieces that I've lost.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Reanimated Allied Forces.

That is what all you pawns are for.
