[gasp]

There's someone else where Sasuke is.

You recognize the chakra?

No! But...

But what, Karin?

This chakra... has a real nasty feel to it!

Then we're going to need to hurry even more.

After all, we have absolutely no idea what this

stranger might be planning to do to Sasuke.

Is this where his wind seizes to blow?

[growl]

Wha-?!

Karin! If you don't pace yourself, you're going to collapse!

Alright! Let's head out to join the others at youth

power max!

Lee! Tenten!

S-Sasuke!

Who's that guy?!

Hey you! I don't know who the hell you are, but what

do you think you're doing with Sasuke?

Oh, I see, so that's what's up...

Huh?

Ah, so it was you, Kabuto.

I sensed your group rushing over here, too.

It's really you, Lord Orochimaru.

Wait, that's Kabuto?! His chakra's different!

His apperance too!

Well, he did take into himself Sage Jutsu Chakra,

as well as all sorts of other people's chakra.

I can't blame you for not recognizing him, Karin.

I wonder if his chakra feels nasty because he still has

some of my own chakra inside of him?

Or perhaps it-

Step away from Sasuke, you nerdy creep!

What have you come here to do, Lord Orochimaru?

And what about you?

What are you planning, Orochimaru?

Look, Kabuto. You're not planning on trying to absorb

Sasuke, are you?

And would that make you Kabuke or Sasuto?

[gasp] So you're the one who took down Sasuke?!

You're gonna pay!

Suigetsu, I have no desire to do that anymore. Karin, I

have no interest in trying to steal Sasuke, either.

Sasuke's chakra! I can just barely sense it! N- No way!

Kabuto, you're helping Sasuke?

That's right. With my Medical ninjutsu and my

Hashirama cells I've experimented on

extensively, along with a certain someone's

suggestion, I just managed to stop him from dying.

And there we have it.

Oh!

Hm? Well, well. If it isn't the Hokage I respect most,

Lord Second, Tobirama.

However, Kabuto.

Your presence here must mean that you were somehow

able to escape the endless loop set up by

Itachi's Izanami, isn't that right?

That's right. I'd stopped acknowledging myself and

didn't know who I was anymore.

That allowed you to give me easy answers and use me,

making me lose even more of myself.

If you're not satisfied with what you've had...

Just find other things and add them onto yourself from

here on out.

[discomfort yell]

It's still not enough, yet!

This still isn't who I am!

But through that jutsu, Itachi helped me realize...

That I am none other than Kabuto.

And where my home is.

Hey, did he change inside, too?

Such is the power of the Izanami.

It's a jutsu that cannot be undone unless you reexamine

yourself and accept who you really are.

Sasuke...

I now wish, from the very bottom of my heart, not to

lose my home.

And Itachi, who wanted to protect Sasuke even unto death.

His feelings have pierced my heart quite strongly.

Yeah, well, listen, it's great for you to say that now!

But you're still one of the ringleaders who joined up

with that fake Madara guy and started this whole war!

You're right, of course.

Both Obito and I thought that we'd lost our place in

this world, and we dragged everyone else into this.

But, now I know who I am and what I must do!

You may be reinforcements, but you're nothing

more than pebbles.

You won't make any difference, now.

That guy's Madara?!

Yes, that's him.

Kakashi, are you all right?

I am, thanks to Guy.

No, not that part. I'm talking about my Sage Art

Rasengan hitting you earlier.

That was okay, too.

I teleported it with my Kamui just as it was making contact.

Kamui!

Good. I'm glad...

Wait, Sage Art? You mean, Sage Jutsu?

That's right. Only Sage Jutsu works against him.

Well, that and physical attacks, such as Taijutsu.

So at this point in time, our only hope is the Fourth

Hokage's Senjutsu and your Taijutsu, Guy.

If I recall correctly, Sage Jutsu isn't your forte, Sensei.

Yes. Honestly, I'm weak in Sage Jutsu.

It takes me too long to infuse the chakra, and I'm

not able to maintain it for too long.

And I haven't used it much in real combat, either.

Plus, I can't weave signs at all, right now, so I don't

think I can fight effectively.

So, I guess that now it's showtime for this wild Blue

Beast, huh?

Eight Inner Gates! Seventh Gate of Shock!

Open!

Blue vapor?

Guy!

One gate short of the Eighth Gate of Death, huh?

He insults me, not bringing out the Red Vapor.

Don't let the black spheres or rod touch you!

I can't believe Guy's mastered the Eight Inner Gates!

Those aren't human movements!

Take this!

Hirudora!

Gotta use the Flying Raijin to throw myself into the

Black Sphere's path!

Kakashi! My kunai!

Right!

That's Rock Lee!

Guy Sensei! Are you all right?

Yeah, Thanks to you, Lee.

Where is Tenten?

She told me to go ahead because she wanted to check

something out.

I finally catch up to you and, you launch the Hirudora?!

Are you all right, Guy?

Yeah, only my right arm and a few ribs are hurt.

What are we going to do if your Taijutsu, our last ray

of hope, is no good?

He's too strong.

Wait, Kakashi...

It's still too early to count my taijutsu out!

But...

Our youth hasn't faded! Not yet, at least!

Don't lose hope!

Guy Sensei...

It's true that not everything we wish for will

come true.

But, things that we ought to do must always begin with a wish.

Just like my challenges to you.

[shocked gasp]

Fight me, Kakashi!

And I assure you that this is no bluff.

Don't tell me you?!

The Leaf's Wild Blue Beast is no more. It's time for

the Red Beast to emerge!

No way! Not the final Gate of Death!

[shocked gasp]

Guy, you mustn't do it! Please, just think it over!

Not a single person here wants you to do that!

Not even you father would-

I know. But I want to do it.

Guy Sensei! Guy Sensei, you think that right now is

actually the time for that?!

Now, don't look at me like that, Lee.

This time, you sit back and enjoy the show!

We're a lot alike, you and I.

I was a "loser" too, once.

But I made myself the equal of any ninja, even Kakashi.

You say you wanna show the world you can be a splendid

ninja, even if you don't have all the gifts that

others are blessed with.

That's your nindo, your ninja way, right?

Well, I think that's a fine goal. Fine as I've ever

heard, and one worth sticking to.

Don't let anything steer you off the path you've drawn

for yourself. Forge ahead to the end!

Become strong so I can just sit back and enjoy the show!

Father...

No, no, no!

No... No... No...

Listen, son, search to your heart's content!

My name! It's not anywhere on the Academy

entrance list, Papa!

You just keep on looking, Guy! You've worked hard and

did everything that you could!

There's no way that all that effort won't be rewarded!

Those tears are probably just making your vision

blurry! I bet you see your name soon!

Right, Papa!

Might Guy... Might Guy... Might Guy...

That kid just won't give up, will he?

It's a very unsightly way to behave...

Kakashi!

Papa, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry!

Don't give up! You hear?!

Don't look away! You'll find it! You will!

Hey, isn't that the kid who was making such a big fuss

about failing the test?

For my papa who never gave up on me, I will get in!

What was all that stuff he was talking about?

"Self-rule" or something?

[laughter]

Like you just decide something, and it happens!

I know all about him. He can't perform ninjutsu or

genjutsu at all.

The only thing that he really has going for him is

that he's pretty good at physical stuff.

That may be true, but even so, he looks ready to drop.

Don't quit! But, still... My son, you're getting it all wrong!

Two hundred thirty-five laps!

[laughter]

What a joke! He's not even half done!

Papa...

Guy!

Guy, you fool!

I'm sorry, Papa...

I'm five already, but I can't even complete five

hundred laps yet!

No, stop that! Don't apologize! That's not why

I'm scolding you!

Huh?

Never apologize for trying hard! It's an insult to your

determination, Guy!

Then, why did?

Because you're not using your self-rule in the right way!

Five hundred laps will get you accepted into the

Academy?! That is not a self-rule!

That's only a wish! And nothing more than that!

Listen...

You impose a self-rule in order to spur yourself onward!

To help you overcome a challenge or difficult situation.

But a self-rule applies to yourself and only yourself.

Uh-huh.

Because of that rule, you're able to gather your strength

and focus on your efforts...

So, even if you fail, having applied that rule in the

first place keeps you extremely disciplined and focused.

And that is the way that a self-rule truly works!

I'm so sorry, Papa.

However, no one can find fault with your

determination. Even if you only make it half way,

hard work is hard work. And for that, you

deserve a big, ol' hug!

Papa!

Guy!

Looks like that father and son are at it again...

Isn't that abuse?

And what's up with those bodysuits?

They're just so weird!

Thank you for your support!

Papa, I don't think that was support.

Well, encouragement, then!

I guess that since I can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu...

...I failed the test.

Listen, Guy! Your youth has only just begun, do you hear me?!

Never turn your back on youth! Just like me!

The fact that you aren't able to use either ninjutsu

or genjutsu actually pleases me, as your Papa!

Huh?!

Knowing your shortcomings will highlight your strengths!

Your Taijutsu's already shining brilliantly in my eyes!

I'm really, very happy now!

I've discovered my son's strengths when he's still at

such a tender age!

Papa, you're not just saying that-?

Your shortcomings can become strengths! Being repetitious

is being kind!

To be loud is to be lively! Obstinacy's earnestness!

Those who are selfish are like cats!

And hairy people?

Uh...

They're like cats, as well!

Long-torsoed people?

They're...

...also like cats!

Hey! Might Dai! What are you doing, playing at training

with your kid again?

You work hard for an "eternal genin!" [laughter]

Sure thing! Thank you for your support!

[laughter]

[angry growling]

That guy's such a joke!

Still trying to act young at his age? [chuckle]

Ow!

What's that for?!

Hey, if it isn't Dai's brat!

What do you think you're doing?!

Don't make fun of my Papa!

Look, kid, I only spoke the truth!

Say stuff about my papa, and I'll punch you- five times!

That's my self-rule!

Huh?

Your self-rule? I'd like to see that, so I'll say this:

Your dad is a good-for-nothing who can't

do ninjutsu or genjutsu, and can't even do

taijutsu that well.

Everyone says he's more of a comedian than he is a genin!

[laughter]

And he's a comedian whose jokes about youth aren't funny.

[angry growling] That's two bad things!

Which means ten punches!

Why don't we punch you twenty times instead!

Damn it... Damn it...

[chuckle]

I can't believe that you couldn't return a single

punch after what they said about your father.

Guy, why'd you do such a thing?!

Papa, how can you stay so positive and optimistic?

When does one's youth really come to an end?

As long as you never turn your back against youth,

then it will never end.

You're saying that youth doesn't come to an end

when you die?

Oh! C'mon, Guy!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Papa's Youth"

That is when youth reaches its climax! And when it

burns the brightest of all!
