Original subtitles

So this is Kabuto? He's kind of gross, huh?

This thing sticking out. It looks like some kind of huge--

Just leave him alone, Suigetsu.

She's still alive.

Listen, what do you guys want with me after all this time? Why did you go out of your way to look for me?

Oh, yeah, that's the thing! Wait, where is it?

We found something incredible in one of the hideouts.

Now where is it...

Earlier, you said that you and Itachi stopped Kabuto's Reanimation Jutsu, right?

But if it really worked the way it was supposed to... why's Madara still here?

No matter what darkness or contradictions lie within the Village...

I'm still Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf!

You're the only one I can count on, best friend.

Protect the village. And the Uchiha name. Both of them.

As I told you, There's something important I have to do.

I see...

So it wasn't stopped, then...

Can't you see that I'm talking to Sasuke?! Don't interrupt me like that!

Anyway, never mind all that.

Here!

Take a look at it!

See? Amazing, isn't it?!

With this scroll, Taka can take over the entire shinobi world!

This is it!

Huh?

The all-knowing...

Now...

I need to go meet up with someone.

I'm leaving.

Huh? Meet who?

Orochimaru.

Huh?! What are you talking about?

You already killed Orochimaru, remember?!

I wanted you to use this scroll to...

Don't you think it's possible that someone as tenacious as Orochimaru might not be killed so easily?

Even though I find him vile and repulsive... I still need him to do something for me.

Clan... Village...

It's time to go see the all-knowing!

I don't get it. How can you talk to Orochimaru?

And who exactly is this all-knowing person?!

That isn't something you need to know right now.

I don't get this. But it doesn't really matter. Anyway, you can't!

'Cause Orochimaru must never be revived!

You're planning on asking Orochimaru for help in trying to control the power of the scroll, aren't you?

But you don't have to! You can learn to do it on your own, I know it!

I mean, that's why I looked for you. And that's why I'm giving the scroll to you!

There are still things only Orochimaru can do.

Sasuke, just listen...

You were Orochimaru's favorite, weren't you? His star pupil? So why can't you do it?!

Suigetsu...

Just don't.

[gasp] What?

Don't underestimate Orochimaru.

What?! You idiot! I don't underestimate that guy at all! It's just the opposite! You do!

The only reason that you defeated Orochimaru was because both of his arms had

been rendered useless by the Reaper Death Seal!

You've always underestimated him!

You know, even if he is revived somehow, he probably still won't be able to use his arms!

But he'll still be dangerous!

He's going to come after your body again!

If he finds out about this war, he's gonna want to be a part of it.

He wants to destroy the Leaf too, remember?!

And that means Taka will get all mixed up in this war, as well!

Is that what you want?

We've only now surpassed our mentors. This is supposed to be our time to shine!

Look, nobody wants to see Orochimaru ever again! Hasn't he caused us enough trouble?

Shut up, Suigetsu.

Please, just go dig out a piece of Kabuto's flesh and bring it over here to me.

Huh?

You don't listen to me, but for some reason you expect me to listen to you?

Fine. I'll do it.

[sigh] So that's how it's gonna be, huh?

Are you really sure about all this, Jugo?

You want Orochimaru to return?!

I don't mind. Sasuke's will is Kimimaro's will.

I will abide by it.

You're the same as always. But what is even going on here?

This is called Sage Transformation in my village.

Just like my original transformation. But in all my copies, it's called Curse Mark Transformation.

We've got to seal that curse mark.

Curse Sealing!

So the reverse is...

Curse Unsealing!

[gasping scream]

Who would have imagined...

...that it would be you of all people who would facilitate my return!

Oh! Hi, there! Long time no see!

Orochimaru, there's something that I want you to do for me now.

You don't need to bother explaining it.

I have been watching from inside Anko.

I secured my Sage Jutsu Chakra into those Curse Marks.

They are like pieces of my own consciousness.

Then you know about the war, as well?

Yes, of course.

And I just have one thing to tell you about that, Suigetsu.

[gasp]

And that is... I have no interest in this war at all.

Huh?!

I mean... it is someone else's war.

The only thing I'm interested in now...

...is your body! Yes, that's right, my dear Sasuke.

I told you!

Then again, it's not as if I currently possess the strength to steal it away from you.

I wonder about that...

What is your intent in meeting with them?

There's... too much that I don't know.

I plan to ask them everything.

Everything, huh? There's no need to know it all just yet. You are still a child, after all.

No, you're wrong.

I treated you as though you were a child. I thought you needed my protection.

I was unable to trust your strength.

But now I think...

Perhaps you could've changed Father and Mother...

...and the rest of the Uchiha as well.

If I had only come to you from the start, looked straight into your eyes and told you the truth...

I'm not a child anymore.

I can't stay a child.

And whatever you do from here on...

I want to discover what started all of it.

To find out what I'm supposed to be, and what I'm supposed to do.

Are you questioning your vengeance?

Not at all. Not my quest for vengeance itself, not a bit.

After reuniting with Itachi, my hatred toward the Hidden Leaf has grown even stronger.

It's just...

I want to understand how even in death, Itachi could call himself a Leaf Shinobi...

...and care about and try to protect the village that dishonored his name.

Who was Itachi? What is a village? What is a clan?

That is why... I have to know everything, so I can finally have the answer.

I need to see and decide for myself what to do.

He's no longer the boy who was manipulated by Itachi... or me... or Tobi.

What a strange sensation...

He's going to siphon all of Kabuto's power and then kill him! So you'd better stay alert and watch out!

He might catch you off guard!

The current you...

...isn't half bad.

I told you he'd steal Kabuto's power!

No, you're wrong on that. He undid the Sage Transformation.

He took back his own chakra that was inside Kabuto, not any of Kabuto's chakra.

Very well, then. I will help you out.

Come along.

And just where are we going?

[chuckle] A place you actually know quite well.

Shall we be on our way?

[roaring]

The statue's been acting all weird since it swallowed those objects earlier.

Wait, that was...

Don't tell me...

I would have preferred bringing it back in a completed state, but...

Watch closely! And surrender yourself completely!

The return of Ten Tails! And the beginning of the end of the world!

[angry roaring]

So that's it! The Gedo statue was Ten Tails' actual body!

Huh?! What does he mean?! What's the Ten Tails?!

But what's going on? Back when he declared war at the Five Kage Summit...

[angry roaring]

He claimed the purpose of this war was to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts' chakra to revive Ten Tails.

He doesn't possess Eight Tails and Nine Tails yet... So is he bluffing?

Don't be careless. Approaching him is deadly!

Oh!

It's only a fragment, but it is not lacking in power.

Have we given him one octopus arm's worth of chakra?

We're always dropping rhymes, but maybe we messed up big this time... Yo...

Yeah!

He got a bit of Eight-O's chakra from back in the day. Now we're sweatin' 'cause

holmes is here to stay. It's not a-okay!

Eight Tails' octopus arm chakra, huh?

So just a piece of a Tailed Beast is sufficient?

Naruto, you felt it too, didn't you?

[angry roaring]

That jar and gourd contained my chakra.

Yup...

[angry roaring]

Let me take over, Naruto. I'll explain.

About Ten Tails, too. You listen from in here.

Kurama? You know about Ten Tails?

Yeah! Of course!

Listen up, all of you!

Huh?

That voice!

Naruto's switched places with Nine Tails, pow!

So just relax, he'll explain it to us. Nine Tails and Naruto, they're real tight now!

If just a portion of a Tailed Beast is sufficient, that statue already has a piece of Eight Tails'

and my chakra in it.

Nine Tails, too?!

The jar and gourd that guy summoned and fed to the statue were two of Old Man Six Paths' treasured tools.

They possess powerful Sealing Jutsu that can seal away anything. Once you're inside, you cannot get out.

So...

Sealed inside the jar was Kinkaku. And Ginkaku was sealed inside the gourd.

I suspect they were brought back with the Reanimation Jutsu, used in the war, and then sealed away.

Kinkaku, Ginkaku, the Sage of Six Paths...

Sure, all of them are legendary names. But what in the world do any of them

have to do with Nine Tails' chakra?

There was a time long ago when the brothers challenged me to a battle.

I simply devoured them.

However, they survived and fed on me from the inside. And, in doing so, they absorbed my chakra.

So Kinkaku and Ginkaku both possessed some Nine Tails' chakra, then...

And the guy in the mask took the two of them from Darui's First Company as an

insurance policy for reviving the Ten Tails.

That's consistent with the report from HQ.

But since they're just fragments of Eight Tails' and my chakra, who knows

what form the revived Ten Tails will take?

We must act before Ten Tails fully comes back to life.

Kakashi...

You speak your mind far too easily.

You're a man for whom a life of regret is fitting!

You bastard... Just who in the hell are you, anyway?

What would be the point in telling someone who can't remember faces?

Kakashi, like you said, if we're going to make a move, now's our chance.

[angry growling]

Old Man Six Paths used to say that Ten Tails' full revival would signify the end of this world.

So, is Ten Tails really that terrible?

I get that he's got Ten Tails, but just how powerful is he, anyway?

He's the aggregate of all the Tailed Beasts' chakra, One Tail through to me.

He was the beginning of chakra and a creator-god of many nations.

Ameno-hitotsuno-kami, Datara, Deidarabotchi: he has many names.

He drank the oceans, split open the earth, hoisted up the mountains. He's the

progenitor said to have created this very land.

Simply put, he has the total power of all nine Tailed Beasts.

Honestly, I couldn't take him on by myself and hope to win.

But if he only has a piece of Eight Tails and me, who have the most chakra out of the nine, it may be worth a try.

You are all mistaken.

I don't need Ten Tails to be revived at full capacity.

[gasps]

My end goal is a Super Genjutsu, the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

I will put the entire human population of this planet under a single genjutsu.

A single world that belongs to nobody. One perfect world without war or ill feelings.

Only within a single collective consciousness where the individual has been cast aside can

truth be found!

The world no longer needs hope, a future, or famous heroes.

Even if incomplete, once Ten Tails is revived, the Infinite Tsukuyomi Jutsu can be achieved,

and reality will come to an end...

And all that will exist will be a single unending dream that will last for all eternity!

[angry roaring]

Kurama, switch back!

Look, I had...

I had my Father. I had my Mother. And I had Pervy Sage.

Kids love looking up to their heroes!

That's why I can run forward without hesitation!

And I will become the greatest Hokage of them all!

That's my dream, and I won't give up on it, you fool!

Even if you don't want your youth to reach an end...

Your dreams still have to come to an end at some point!

Yeah... Dreams must be fulfilled.

Yo, check it: Dreams, dreams, lots o' dreams abound, even out here on this battleground.

I dream of women's boobs, so round! When dreams are fulfilled, that is where truth is found!

You've got guts, Bee, telling us about your, uh, preferences at a time like this...

[harrumphing chuckle]

Individuality makes you lose sight of the truth.

My words as a nobody are words guided by the absolute truth of the world.

[attacking yell]

[angry roaring]

Your window is the instant he tries to pull you in, that's when he'll become solid.

If you attack him normally, you'll just pass right through him.

So go for the counterattack! Create an opening through close combat! Avoid using big moves!

Thanks, but I already know that! That's why I created a clone!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Secret of the Transportation Technique."

Naruto! Just keep going!
