YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Oh, no.

The third tail.

[theme song]

-Sora.

No!

Soray!

-Naruto, no!

Be careful!

-Naruto, don't!

Naruto!

-That idiot!

-Is he OK?

-That's Sora.

He's in there.

It might not seem like him, but the real Sora is there.

He's just gotta be!

-From the sound of things, Sora has finally transformed.

Nobody can stop that boy now.

-Kazuma.

You fool.

-Wood style jutsu!

Such destructive power.

-Sora, that's enough!

-Shadow strangle jutsu!

I knew it wouldn't work.

-Let me try!

-Choji!

-Don't worry.

I can heal him.

-Darn it.

For crying out loud, snap out of it!

-Kazuma.

Why on Earth did you do this?

You're his father.

So why?

The Nine-Tails-- you put it inside him

to turn your son into a weapon?

Do you have any idea what you've done?

-Of course I do.

And I'd do it again if I had the chance.

It's all for the cause.

-I've heard enough!

-Let me give it a try!

Hiya!

-That jerk.

Fang over fang!

Dammit.

-You're mad.

What cause are you talking about?

-A very worthy one.

To make sure the Land of Fire stays as it is.

And I'll do anything for the sake of that cause

-Then what about your child?

Mizura died for it as well?

-When you were young, growing up as the son of the Third Hokage,

wasn't your cause the same as his?

-That's not--

-I am protecting my king, just as you have sworn to do.

How dare you question that?

-It's true.

I have indeed sworn to protect my leader.

But that's not the kind of king you've got in mind.

-There you go.

We're both the same, you and me.

You see, it doesn't matter who your king is.

When all is said and done we're just

pawns who only exist to shield them from harm.

But a pawn is too weak to protect a king.

Which is why I made Sora what he is.

A pawn deep enough in enemy ground

to be promoted to a more powerful piece.

-You just don't get it.

Children aren't pawns to protect the king.

-I don't care.

We're all merely pieces.

All we can do is try and take out the other's king.

It doesn't matter how it's done.

Even if the game was reversed, I would still win.

-Wood style jutsu!

-Dammit.

-No!

-Why?

He's an outsider.

-No he's no.

He's Team Kakashi.

He's a comrade now!

-You and me are the same.

Sora.

Hey, Sora, remember?

We thrashed around like this then

and tried to stop each other.

I guess we were pretty dumb, huh?

That's just the way we are.

-Did he get him?

-Naruto.

-Sora!

Sora.

Come back to us.

I know you're still in there!

Sora!

Sora.

-Don't do this!

-Get away from Sora, now!

Naruto!

-Sora!

Come on.

Snap out of it.

You gotta try.

Listen to me!

Sora.

What is this?

-What's happening?

-What-- what the heck is going on?

Did it-- did my Nine-Tails awaken on its own?

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Now.

-Hokage style, elder jutsu.

Tenth edict on enlightenment!

What's happening here?

It's never like this.

It's coming from the outside.

-Naruto.

-No.

Not now.

I can't let it come out.

Why?

Why now?

-Fate sure has a funny way of causing coincidences,

doesn't it?

Fuka pointed it out.

-Furido.

About that kid I fought against back there

with the pointy hair.

I wonder-- he and Sora seemed alive.

-She thought Sora an the boy might be connected.

The chakra is the same in both Nine-Tails.

So of course Sora's rage is resonating

with the original nine-tailed fox.

-What?

-It's perfect.

Isn't this so interesting?

We'll get to see the true jinchuriki-- no,

the nine-tailed fox spirit-- set loose to once again destroy

the Leaf Village.

[laughter]

-No!

[ominous laughter]

Dammit!

You don't want to do this.

Come on.

Stop it, Sora.

Sora!

No-- it can't--

What is that?

-This does not look good.

-Guys, run!

-Naruto!

-Sakura-- come on.

Sora, for the last time.

Wake up!

-That's my boy, Sora!

Smash the Leaf where it stands!

-No way.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sora--

-Naruto!

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Can't let it happen.

I'm not gonna let that nine-tailed monster take over

so easily.

-What the--

-Nice work.

Keep it up, Sora!

-I-- I didn't call on you.

So get lost, you dumb fox.

You think you can just show up like this

whenever you feel like it?

Beat it!

-Captain Yamato, can't you do anyhing?

-No.

My jutsu won't work on Naruto like this.

We have to just hope his willpower

is enough to hold it back.

-Oh no.

-No.

Darn it.

-Go ahead.

Leave it to me, boy.

-I'm not letting you out.

I won't back down!

No monster fox is gonna take over me!

-Naruto.

-What did he--

-This is bad.

-That's right.

I made a vow.

I will not be overtaken by you.

That-- that's a promise.

I won't succumb.

I can't do the things I warned Sora against!

[laughter]

-Why hesitate?

Just say what you're dying to.

I'm in your power.

Say it.

-Why don't you shut up?

Don't worry, Sora.

I'll bring you back with my own hands.

You hear?

-Naruto?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sora.

SORA (VOICEOVER): Who's that?

-Come on!

Sora!

Come back!

I know you can hear me, Sora!

Get out of there!

Are you gonna stay asleep forever?

Well, I won't let you.

Wake up!

Sora!

SORA (VOICEOVER): Who's there?

Who is that person?

What-- it's me.

As a boy.

When I was little I was always crying.

I was always so alone.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sora--

-Who's that?

Whose voice is that?

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sora--

-I knew it.

It's just as I expected.

Nothing's changed.

I'm still alone.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Sora--

-Fight it, Sora.

Hang in there.

I'm gonna save you.

Come on, Sora.

Hang on!

-Whose voice is that?

[music playing]

-Sakura.

My medical ninjutsu isn't strong enough to heal Choji's wound.

-I was worried about that.

It's just like when Sakura was hurt.

-Wounds from the Nine-Tails chakra take longer to heal.

-What?

-Even after proper treatment the patient

might experience long-lasting pain.

-So what then?

Does this mean Naruto's the only one who can control him?

-Unfortunately that would seem to be the case.

-No way.

-All we can do is have faith in Naruto.

-Next time-- My Friend.
