-The things this boy can do.

I must admit, he's piqued my interest.

-Damn it.

[theme music]

-Don't tell me.

The fourth tail's emerged.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): The fourth tail?

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): The chakra that's

leaking out seeks stability.

It's trying to assume the complete form of the Nine

Tails.

This is not the same chakra as before.

It's more intense.

Far more malevolent.

It's using Naruto's body as a medium,

but it's just like a miniature Nine Tails.

The force of that shockwave from just a single of his hand.

Damn it!

SAI (VOICEOVER): I can't get any closer.

-That was Naruto's attack?

-Yes, it was.

-Hm.

-Captain Yamato.

Is there something you're not telling me about Naruto?

There is, isn't there?

Tell me what's happened to him.

-Sakura.

No matter what happens, don't worry.

It was for this, exactly for this reason,

that my superiors chose me to lead this team.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): For to be subjected to that much chakra

and still be-- How is he still able to move?

-So, I take it Sasori won't be coming after all, huh?

-Kabuto.

-So, I take it Sasori won't be coming after all, huh?

It's strange.

Sasori was the only person who knew

that I would be here today.

Not even his fellow Akatsuki were privy to that information.

And yet you're here, Leaf ninja.

I can't imagine Sasori being forced to reveal the secret,

even under torture, which makes me think

he must have told you willingly.

I suspect he was hoping that, by coming here,

you would gather enough information about Lord

Orochimaru to enable you to take him down once and for all.

It seems Orochimaru has turned out to be quite a handful, even

for the Akatsuki.

I must say, your disguise earlier was perfect.

Lord Sasori.

If you hadn't pulled out that kunai,

I wouldn't have gotten away from him in time.

-After all, you're the one who sent this kid to me,

and he's come in very handy.

-You wouldn't have been able to pull that off,

unless you had met Sasori personally,

and that's the only occasion I can

think of when he could have told you about our rendezvous.

-Go the the Tenchi Bridge in the Village Hidden in the Grass,

10 days from now at noon.

One of Orochimaru's henchmen is working for me as a spy,

and that's where I'm supposed to rendezvous with him.

However, I don't think I--

KABUTO: There's no way that Sasori could've been aware

that the jutsu placed on me had worn off,

so for him to have divulged such sensitive intelligence to you,

it means Sasori was acknowledging your power.

Sasori bore a grudge against Orochimaru.

He always said he would be the one

to personally bring Orochimaru down.

The fact that Sasori ended up involving all of you

in this matter means that he must

need you to do the job for him.

Or, to put it another way.

He's either been captured or he's no longer alive.

-Unfortunately, it's the latter.

-That's wonderful news.

-What's this?

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): That's--

SAI (VOICEOVER): Is that chakra?

OROCHIMARU (VOICEOVER): That is going to be trouble.

One can't be on the receiving end of that much concentrated

chakra and survive.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

What are you doing?

OROCHIMARU (VOICEOVER): How ever do you plan on fighting me,

weighed down with such dense chakra?

[wicked laughter]

So, that's his plan.

-Triple Rashomon.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): This battle's too intense.

I can't find a way in.

It's unlike anything I've ever seen!

-What on Earth just happened?

KABUTO (VOICEOVER): What we saw just then was definitely

Lord Orochimaru's Triple Rashomon.

Destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Never imagined would be like this.

-He's closer to becoming the Nine Tails than ever before.

-Naruto.

[theme music]

KABUTO: These are no longer ninja fighting each other,

but monsters.

Is this how he hopes to save Sasuke?

By turning himself into that?

SAURA: Naruto.

-The boy is gone.

Only the monster remains.

What a pitiful child.

SAKURA: That's enough.

Naruto!

Please, don't do this!

YAMATO: No, Sakura!

Stay away from him.

SAKURA: I'll do it.

I'll rescue Sasuke!

YAMATO: Next time.

Sakura's Tears.

[theme music]

-Today we'll be examining the famed Nine Tailed fox.

The Nine Tail is known for its ferociously destructive nature.

Now that its fate is inextricably linked

with Narutos, it has no choice but to render him assistance.

But while they have a symbiotic relationship for the moment,

there's little doubt the Nine Tail is only

waiting for the chance to take over Naruto completely.

By calling on the Nine Tail within him,

Naruto is able to exert incredible destructive power.

However, it seems that every time he unleashes this power,

Naruto inflicts damage on his own body.

Just as Master Jiraiya suspected,

the Fourth Hokage's seal formula may be weakening.

As one who inherited The First Hokage's DNA and his jutsu,

I'll help in any way that I can, of course.

But if it turns out to be a disaster,

don't hold me responsible.
