Allied Shinobi Forces Jutsu!

They're so pitiful.

Yeah.

This hope that they're clinging to doesn't exist.

[chuckle] Just like their very lives, at this point.

It seems the Ten Tails is quite ready.

Fifth Gate of Closing! Open!

So this time, they're coming after us, not the Ten Tails.

Well, it is basic strategy to take out the enemy's

brains, isn't it.

Just like we planned, take down those two, the

brains of Ten Tails!

But in order to do that, they would actually need to

stop the Ten Tails!

[gasp]

[groaning]

What?! I thought we had immobilized Ten Tails!

You okay?! Damn it...

[gasp]

My shoulder's dislocated!

Look at the Sensory Water Sphere! It's practically

like a small planet.

But that's impossible!

Then we didn't immobilize Ten Tails?

It merely stopped moving on its own to amass its

power and transform?

So how can we stop it, then?

We can't target those two!

But we have to find a way to stop that thing

or else it's over for all of us.

[worried whine]

I'm about to pee my pants, here.

[growl]

Don't just freak out; infuse your chakra!

And be prepared to move when we get the plan from HQ!

We must immobilize Ten Tails or else we

won't be able to go after the brains that are

manipulating it.

But how?! Even with the jutsu of my clan, which

specializes in immobilizing, the effect

would be miniscule compared to the amount

of chakra expended.

Inoichi! Link me up with Kakashi!

Roger!

Kakashi, it's me!

Huh?

I want to confirm something about the intel from the

last battle sequence.

It is going to begin getting more difficult to control

the Ten Tails.

Reinforce your bond with it using Hashirama's cells.

We should take this opportunity to check out Ten

Tails' power, while it's in its current state.

First, we should--

Yes, let's show every last one of them...

...what despair is!

Shikaku, I've gotta go for now!

What it is?!

This is... No way!

Lord Shikaku! Lord Inoichi!

My Kamui won't be in time!

Displace it upwards with Earth Style.

Gotcha!

Whoa, that far away?!

It's much greater than the other Tailed Beasts!

What power!

It's shakey from just that little counter.

Its control isn't perfect yet.

The next one!

[roar]

Unbelievable! A distant city, gone like that! Huh?

It's been acting weird! It seems to be aiming afar!

So every city and person is within its

range of fire, huh?

That means the Feudal Lords, everyone guarding the

villages plus all of the citizens of

each nation are at risk?

The reason for this war is so our shinobi on the

battlefield can protect everyone else.

But those two want to remove that reason.

[roar]

That's the direction of--!

This, This is...

What's is it, Lord Ao?!

Please listen to me calmly...

Right here, huh?

Shikaku... What now?

Just keep doing what we must do.

I have a plan to stop Ten Tails, our final act.

Put me through to everyone on the battlefield.

[grunt]

Finally got them.

Now we've smashed the Allied Forces' brains.

Simple basic strategy.

Shikamaru...

We're in the middle of a war. So don't waste any

words on me.

Or on Ino.

We have to do what we have to do.

Just like father said.

Wait, hold on! What the heck just happened?!

You are the key to our whole plan, Naruto.

No, not that!

I'm asking what happened to Shikaku and Inoichi!

[screaming]

Neji! Rotate clockwise!

Right!

Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!

A- Amazing...

Don't just stand there spacing out, Naruto!

This is a battlefield and we are at war.

People die!

But if we're defeated and lose this war

everyone will die!

Of course. I know that!

Shikamaru's and Ino's fathers might say that as

shinobi, they're glad they died before their children.

The same as my father did.

Listen, Naruto! Your power is crucial to the plan.

So until we're able to execute it...

...we must protect you!

Hinata!

Just know this! The Hyuga are the mightiest

among the Leaf!

I was hoping to take them down before they started

with the speeches but it is difficult to

control the Ten Tails well.

I suppose this ought to do until the next

transformation.

But afterward I suspect that

only Jinchuriki will be able to control it.

Though for me to become the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki,

I am going to need to become fully and truly alive.

Not just hosted within a corpse as

a mere Reanimation.

Reanimations are good for big suicidal attacks.

But the reason you haven't launched the Ten Tails'

Tailed Beast Bomb at them, blowing

yourself up as well, is that I'd get caught

in it and die, too.

And the reason that would be a problem is,

for you to truly be brought back to life and

become a Jinchuriki, you will still need me to

sacrifice myself and perform Art of Rinne Rebirth on you.

In short, you're in a very delicate position right now

where you're entirely at my mercy.

Don't forget that.

Well, well, well, my little rug rat has become

quite the wily fox.

You realize that I've never really considered

you a comrade.

[chuckle]

Well, so be it.

All right, why don't you decide our next move, then?

We continue.

They will all come to know despair thoroughly.

[roaring]

Wood Style! Cutting Sprigs Jutsu!

[painful grunts]

My Mountain Jutsu should at least slow it

down until Nine Tails' strength returns.

But I need time to build up chakra! Hold on, everyone!

Cha!

So many! My Rotation can't keep up.

[grunt]

Thanks, Neji! I can activate Sage Mode now!

I can't keep relying on you geniuses! It's my turn!

[chuckle]

Rasen Shuriken!

[attacking grunts]

Here's a few more!

[screaming]

Eight Trigrams: Air Wall Palm! [grunt]

Damn it! A focused attack!

There's too many! Hinata's and Neji's Air

Palms won't be enough!

Byakugan!

[gasp]

Earth Style! Mountain Jutsu! Now, go!

[attacking yells]

Get the Medical team!

Hurry! There's a critical injury!

Hurry!

No...

I think I'm done.

Neji...

Neji, no!

[sigh] Naruto...

Hinata is willing to die for you.

So remember you hold more than one life...

In your hands.

[crying]

And it seems that my life may have

also been one of them.

But why?! Why did you-?! You can't die here!

You were gonna change the Hyuga!

Long ago, those words of yours

freed me from the shackles of fate.

Why would you go so far for me?!

Even give up your life?! Why?!

Because you called me a genius.

Because after all, unlike me, you're

not a failure, Neji.

Father, I finally understand

the freedom you felt, choosing to die

in order to protect your comrades.

Didn't you say you wouldn't let any of

your comrades die?

Naruto!

I'll never let my comrades die! No matter what happens!

You said, "I'll never let my comrades die."

Those were your words.

Now look around you, and try to say them again!

I said, try to say those words again!

As the bodies of your comrades grow cold in your

arms, take in their deaths!

Neji's really dead?!

Hizashi, forgive me. Neji is--!

This will just keep happening.

And all of your flippant words and ideals

will become lies.

This is the end result of ideals and hope.

This is reality.

Naruto, what is there here for you in this reality?

Your mother and father are gone. Your Master, Jiraiya,

too. And if you keep standing against us,

you'll continue to lose your friends one by one.

This shall become a world where no one who

acknowledges you will exist.

Obito...

The only thing that awaits you is

your worst nightmare, which you know very well!

Solitude!

You have become almost exactly like

the old me, Obito.

Naruto will fall shortly, which will break the will of

the Allied Forces.

So why keep living in reality, huh?

Now come join us, Naruto!

Neji just said that in your hands

you hold more than one life.

Do you understand what he meant?

Do you?

"I'll never let my comrades die."

Those words and the conviction behind

them are not lies!

For he stored them in his heart and lived them

out till the end!

Neji really did!

It isn't just you. It's all of us.

We all hold those words and feelings in our hearts.

They're what bind our lives together

and make us comrades.

If we were to all give up and discard those

words and feelings.

Neji's act'll have been for nothing.

And that is when your comrades truly die!

For you are no longer comrades then.

That's how I feel.

So, please, stand up together with me, Naruto.

Because never going back on one's word...

That is also my Ninja Way!

Naruto...

Hinata is willing to die for you.

So remember you hold more than one life.

Of course it's more than one!

Don't forget about me, either!

I know that! My bonds are serious!

I'd never abandon my comrades!

But the truth is, Neji...

Stop whining and complaining!

I'll clobber you and take over your body for

good this time, dammit!

Did you forget this, too?!

Your mom and dad did the same thing Neji did right

after you were born!

They sealed their archenemy, me, inside you, left the

future to you, and died.

Your life was already linked to two others' right from

the time that you were born!

Will he just stand back and see how Naruto responds?

It seems Naruto makes him uneasy.

Enough!

[roaring]

Slow down! You're going to harm yourself

and the Ten Tails!

So? I don't care!

The Ten Tails' hide is tough!

They're gonna hit us!

Recharge complete!

Be careful, Master Bee!

Go get 'em!

Take this!

Lord Bee!

Don't go overboard!

There's no need to worry.

Protecting the Alliance is my territory!

[gasp]

That's right. It wasn't just Mom and Dad, either.

Yeah, all those others, too.

I have a connection to so many other people!

Hinata, thank you!

It's all thanks to you standing by my side.

And Neji...

Thank you, too.

Naruto's hand is so big and so strong

and most of all...

Hinata, let's do this!

Yeah!

It's so comforting!

I haven't been able to save many a comrade.

An existence where one can only await death inside a

cage. Nice analogy for this situation.

You're all like that brat who just

died a pointless death.

Neji's will isn't dead yet!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Those Who Dance in the Shadows."
