Original subtitles

You seriously believe that you can beat me with Hashirama's Will of Fire?

Power is not simply will. Power is only the ability to make things happen.

You're wrong! The will of the dead reveals its true

power in those that they have left behind!

I used that will to develop my Medical Ninjutsu.

From that came Medic Ninja and Medical Law!

Rule number one: a Medical Ninja must never give up on

treatment until their patient draws their dying breath.

Rule two: A Medical Ninja shall never go to the front lines of battle!

Rule Three!

A Medical Ninja should always be the last of their platoon to die!

This is what I teach my students.

But there is actually one more rule...

Rule Four says... A Medical Ninja who masters the Art of

Mitotic Regeneration, the 100 Healings...

...may break the first three rules!

[gasp]

The 100 Healings Jutsu?

I have never heard of it.

A Forbidden Jutsu only for me.

It means I'm the only Medical Ninja allowed to do battle!

The Particle Style may have dissipated the pollen...

But one Medical Ninja won't make a difference.

Four wasn't working, so we'll try five!

Don't you dare think I'm an ordinary Medical Ninja!

She's slower than the Raikage...

Let's go!

But her power is greater than his!

Fire Style...

Majestic Demolisher Flame!

Water Style: Water Pillar!

Water Style! Water Dragon Missile!

Weighted Boulder!

Lateral Bolt of Pain! Chop!

I will admit it... undoubtedly you are not weak, woman.

However...

If you step in here and die, all the other Kage will, as well.

Since you're the only one who's able to heal them.

That's only if I die.

Well, Hashirama... I don't know exactly what it is

that you've left to all your followers...

But this falls short of your abilities.

If you were going to let your underlings take over, you should have at least

taught them how to resurrect you, as I have done.

Instead, all that's really left of you now is just the

life force inside of your cells that yet cling to me.

Just as all that's left of my little brother is the

Visual Prowess of his eyes, now mine.

That's why...

That's why you're completely wrong!

The only thing that is ever truly passed down, of course...

...is hatred.

What?! Madara was brought back with the Reanimation Jutsu?

Yes, and now that the real Madara has shown up,

the Five Kage had to step in and stop messing around!

And the Hokage, Lady Tsunade, has joined the battle as well.

Huh? Tsunade is Hokage?! Really?! She became Hokage?!

Did I neglect to tell you that?

Well, Lady Tsunade went through quite a lot after your passing.

But in the end, she did it as a tribute to you, to show

how much she cared about you.

Tsunade...

There's no way Lady Tsunade will lose this one!

That's why she's the sole surviving member of the Legendary Sannin!

You're already dead!

So, don't spread any more hatred!

Kazekage! Do it now!

Grand Sand Mausoleum!

He's been sealed!

All right!

The one you sealed away is a Wood Style Clone just

like the one that Hashirama used to use.

It was well made...

My Visual Prowess made me the only shinobi to ever see through...

...that powerful ruse.

Now then...

It's over for the rest of you Kage.

Do not underestimate Madara!

Your only hope of stopping him is to stop the one who cast the Reanimation Jutsu.

Is Madara really that powerful a shinobi?

Even against the Five Kage facing him?

Yes! Aside from the late Lord First Hokage...

...there is no one who can defeat Madara in battle!

My guard and my barrier maintainer should stay!

All others should go after the Reanimation Jutsu caster!

What has HQ been doing about it?!

So far, every effort has been made...

But we've had no concrete intel.

Don't die... Tsunade!

Summoning Jutsu!

Dang!

I need you to stay here.

That's it. What a useless barrier.

I'm impressed you were able to pass through my barrier and find this place.

Back when you were still controlling me, I was able

to pinpoint where your chakra was coming from.

Yet another risk of this jutsu.

Though you won't survive to remember for next time.

Thank you for the tip. I wasn't worried because I didn't think anyone was

capable of defying the jutsu as you have done...

Oh, by the way, there's also something I'd like you to know.

This Reanimation Jutsu will not come undone even if you kill me.

I'm the only one who can stop it. So, in other words...

You cannot simply destroy me.

If you do, you'll never be able to stop the jutsu.

[confident chuckling]

[confident laughter] I guess my luck hasn't run out quite yet, eh, Itachi?!

Things aren't always as we wish them to be. Damn it...

I found you! What are you doing here, Itachi?

Orochimaru?! But I?!

[chuckle] Close but not quite...

I know that voice! Kabuto!

That my compensation for participating in this war

would show up, on his own, at this particular moment...

I'm so lucky.

What do you mean? What are you two doing, meeting here?

It's rather complicated... But, please. Let me try to explain.

Go ahead, and meanwhile... I'll make you stop the Reanimation Jutsu.

This jutsu has neither risks nor weaknesses. I want you to understand that, Itachi.

I already told you once.

And besides, even if you do make a move, I doubt Sasuke

will just quietly stand back and watch.

If you rush, you may not succeed, even if it were possible, conversely.

Kabuto, answer my question now!

I guess I have to tell you, after all.

In any event, while you were asleep, recovering from having your brother's eyes

transplanted into you, something rather momentous has happened in our world.

You mean that Tobi started the war, right?

So you do know a little bit, at least. But, yes, that is true...

The Fourth Great Ninja War...

Tobi and I are currently at war with the coalition of

the Nations of Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Lightning...

All of which are fighting together under the name the "Allied Shinobi Forces."

There's no way that two of you can fight against all the Five Great Nations!

Oh, but we can! And that's just what we're doing!

With a hundred thousand mass-produced White Zetsu troops!

Along with them is the reanimated battalion I created...

Kinkaku and Ginkaku...

The former members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist...

The Second Tsuchikage...

The Third Raikage...

The Second Mizukage...

The Fourth Kazekage...

And Madara Uchiha.

Frankly, I don't have time to mention everyone. But your brother over there is

also one of the ones that I've reanimated.

Well?

Not too shabby, huh?

Although to be honest, Madara Uchiha planned everything.

What do you mean by that?

Just like the two of you, he hated the Shinobi World.

And so, he came up with Project Tsuki no Me.

Project Tsuki no Me?

A plan to cast a powerful genjutsu over the entire world using the Ten Tails.

And thereby control the whole world.

To achieve that goal, we need to obtain Naruto's

Nine Tails and Killer Bee's Eight Tails.

And just about now... Madara is causing a ruckus

on the battlefield in order to get them.

Now then...

...which one of you should I take down next?

[determined yell]

[gasp]

[angry screaming]

[grunting]

[gasp]

How can you still move?!

Like I told you, I'm different! The rules don't apply to me!

Regeneration without weaving signs...

I see... So that is the true nature of your jutsu that

you mentioned in Rule Four, is it?

Just like Hashirama's ability.

I had hoped that I'd be able to catch you off guard with this, but...

There's no way you can kill me with my own jutsu.

Then I'll use mine!

Yes!

Have you gone senile, Ohnoki?

The Rinnegan can absorb all jutsu, remember?

Ninjutsu such as that will not work against me!

If you want to kill me, you need to hit me hard

physically, take me down, and seal me away.

You know that.

But my Particle Style attack from earlier grazed your chest!

There's no way the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu failed!

Oh, that?

I merely wanted to reveal Hashirama's hidden face to all of you right then.

I was hoping that doing so would douse your morale...

But it seems to have done the opposite and boosted it instead.

I have a question for you.

Mm?

Yes, it's true that you outwitted us with the Wood Style clone that you used...

But from another angle, you could say that we

managed to corner you into having to

substitute a clone for yourself.

Am I wrong?

Well, it is five against one, after all...

That's because we must win, no matter what happens!

Now don't go calling us cowards or saying that we're being unfair to you!

In truth, it is merely a testament to your might!

You are Madara Uchiha!

No, I won't call you cowards, and as for five to one...

It's a nice ratio for games.

Now it's five-to-one the other way. And don't say this is cowardly.

You are the Five Kage.

And so, I have one question for you.

Would you prefer for all of these clones to use Susano'o against you or not?

The choice is yours.

So that's it. That's the tale of the war.

There's one thing I don't get: what's a reanimated shinobi like you doing here?

Your intent to kill is real.

The answer here is simple...

I'm not under his control any longer.

You're absolutely right. I must hand it to you, Itachi Uchiha.

Imagine, overwriting the Reanimation Jutsu with your genjutsu...

Most ninja wouldn't even think of that.

I'm sorry, but I simply can't stand taking orders from others.

Yes, well, I agree with you on that.

But you haven't answered my questions!

Sasuke, haven't you learned yet? Simply asking a question doesn't guarantee

that you're going to receive an answer.

You really haven't changed a bit since the days

when you were the popular one at the Academy.

And what does that mean? That I'm still persuasive?

Just kidding!

Now, don't forget why your big brother's here...

To destroy you, Kabuto.

Well, you heard him!

Reanimation... You found a foolish Forbidden Jutsu.

But as you see, thanks to this jutsu, you siblings get to have a touching reunion.

I was hoping for a little more gratitude.

The Reanimation Jutsu can't control what's in the heart.

You've desecrated souls that were purified and continue

to spread unnecessary sadness and hate.

Can you understand the pain of the dead who are forced to fight?

The pain of the living's even greater than theirs is.

After recovering from their grief and sadness...

...your jutsu has stirred up those feelings again!

[chuckle]

I'm really quite surprised...

...that someone who slaughtered the entire

Uchiha Clan in cold blood has such a tender heart.

So does that mean you secretly regret what you did back then?

If so, I'm not interested in the slightest.

Say what you want. You will still die here.

Sasuke...

You want to defeat Itachi, the bane of the Uchiha, once again.

Since I've recalled him back to this realm.

In short, Itachi, you're little more than a

bothersome presence to both Sasuke and myself.

Well? What do you say? Shall we team up and take down Itachi together, Sasuke?

We share the same snake power and the same Master-

That "thing" wasn't my master.

Besides, it seems you don't know anything, do you?

I only came here chasing after Itachi so that I could talk to him.

So, then...whose side are you on?

Why'd you do that?! He's just like Orochimaru! Which makes him my enemy!

Right now, he's your enemy too, isn't he?!

I hear you, Sasuke. And we will talk later.

First, we need to take this one down...

But don't kill him.

If you kill the caster of the Reanimation Justu, it can never be undone.

First, we'll put him under my Tsukuyomi, and we'll

make him tell us how to stop this jutsu.

While he's under the Tsukuyomi, I'll control him...

And I'll break this jutsu.

Thanks for the play-by-play. Hopefully it'll go that smoothly.

But still, as I explained to you earlier, this jutsu

has neither weakness nor any risks.

Every jutsu has a weakness.

Huh?

This jutsu's weakness and risk...

...is simply me.

Itachi... you always kept lying to me...

...saying things like "next time" or "later" and then died on me...

So, this time, for sure...

I'm gonna hold you to your promise.

They say you take your personality to the grave... I've already died once...

I plan to honor it.

The estranged brothers come together to stop me!

How exciting!

Those snakes can sense exactly where we are.

Snakes are able to perceive body heat, and can smell the air by using their tongues.

Seems you've studied a lot! You're like a snake expert.

Of course I did. 'Cause I had to take down Orochimaru!

I am no longer a snake...

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Sibling Tag Team."

I am now a dragon!
