-This is my ultimate art.

This time I'm going to detonate myself.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): He's insane.

-In death I shall become art itself.

No one's seen an explosion like this,

one that shall leave behind a scar on the very earth itself.

And then I'll receive more admiration for my art

than anyone has ever seen before.

Sorry Tobi.

-Hmm?

-But while I will be admired, you'll

almost definitely be dead.

This explosion will cover 10 kilometers.

You can't run away from this one.

Tremble, be afraid, recoil in despair, cower in awe.

Cry your heart out.

Because my art-- is an explosion!

Because my art-- is an explosion!

[rumbling]

[rumbling]

-Whoa, what is that?

-What's that?

What is it Kakashi?

-From the feel of that Chakra, it's that Akatsuki.

-What do you think is going on?

-Come on, let's go check it out.

-Good idea.

-What is that?

I've never seen that.

I don't know what it is.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Sasuke, no, it can't be.

[gasps]

I can't sense Sasuke's Chakra anymore.

-That blast is near our rendezvous point.

Wait, is he-- Oh no, it's just as I feared.

That fool, Deidara, he blew himself up.

-And what about Tobi?

-Probably got caught up in it.

It was within the blast radius, after all.

[theme music]

-Deidara is dead.

At least he went out with a bang.

KISAME HOSHIGAKI (VOICEOVER): Oh dear, it

looks like we've lost yet another Akatsuki member.

And I really thought he was one of the stronger ones too.

So who did him in then?

Was it Sasuke?

or the nine-tails Jinchuuriki?

-It was Sasuke.

However, it appears that Sasuke has died as well.

-Deidara took him with him?

-You should feel grateful Itachi.

Deidara sacrificed his life to save you a lot of trouble.

-Hmm, it's funny.

I feel like we've forgotten about something.

-It looks like Toby is dead as well.

Deidara had no regard for his partner.

-Tobi, that's what I'd forgotten.

Must've been quite a Jutsu that Deidara set off,

if that escape artist, Tobi, couldn't run from it.

-No matter.

We can easily replace someone like Tobi.

But losing Deidara is unfortunate.

Don't get me wrong.

I like Tobi.

He managed to lighten the mood of this rather gloomy

organization.

We was really quite talented if you think about it.

-I must go.

Let us try to mourn Deidara quietly.

-And I shall mourn for the loss of Tobi.

-You're that bored, huh?

-OK, when the crest of the snake vanishes then I do this.

Add a drop of Sasuke's blood.

All right, summoning Jutsu!

So, this is Orochimaru's summons, Manda.

Orochimaru could barely control him.

So how did Sasuke g-- huh?

I see, he used Genjutsu.

[grunting]

-Whoa, you're a mess Sasuke.

Who were you fighting?

-You, you used me, insolence!

You damn brat.

How dare you do such a thing to me?

-Those eyes, you hypnotized me with those damned eyes

of yours.

Me, you did this to me.

How dare you?

-Oh, boy, well, he's dead now.

Hey, wasn't Manda supposed to be Orochimaru's favorite

pet or something?

You know, you really ought to treat animals better Sasuke,

and not force Genjutsu onto them either.

-There wasn't any time to think about it.

I had no choice but to do this.

There you are.

I thought you'd be here.

Your Chakra suddenly disappeared.

So I wondered what happened.

Did you transport yourself or something?

You hid yourself inside Manda and used the transportation

technique to escape to another dimension, is that right?

Then why are you so beat up?

-Just before we jumped, Manda and I

were hit by the blast wave.

That Akatsuki, it was stronger than I expected.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Even all cut up and bruised,

Sasuke's still pretty sexy.

-Well, in any case, you'll need some time to rest up.

Isn't that right Karin?

-Huh?

[clears throat]

-How pathetic!

I can't believe you're the man who killed Orochimaru.

-Orochimaru was already weakened to begin with.

That's all I'll say about that.

-It doesn't show any signs of stopping.

Strange, there usually isn't this much rain

around here this time of year.

You'll catch your death out there.

You're so cold.

I have no idea what's going on in your head right now,

not one little clue.

Yet from here it looks like you're crying.

It's really too bad, what happened

to your younger brother.

It looks like you're the sole surviving member of the Uchiha

clan.

-No.

KISAME HOSHIGAKI (VOICEOVER): Mm-hmm?

-Sasuke's not dead.

Besides--

-What are you talking about?

-The rain has finally stopped.

-Naruto!

-It looks like that explosion caught everyone's attention.

-You guys, what happened?

-There's evidence Sasuke was here just before we arrived.

-Huh?

-It's very faint.

But his scent is definitely here.

Also, I can detect several other scents as well.

-What does that mean?

-By the look of this crater, a battle was fought here.

-Thought so.

As I suspected, one of the other scents

is identical to the one I detected in the city.

Sasuke isn't traveling by himself now.

He has three companions traveling with him as well.

They must be his accomplices.

-Then in the town--

-Yes.

Sasuke's probably formed a team.

Also, I know that one of the five scents

here belongs to Deidara, a member of the Akatsuki.

-Wasn't he the one who self destructed and was

sent to another dimension by your Jutsu?

-I thought so, but it seems that he

faked his own death to escape.

Now, the Akatsuki operate in two-man teams.

So there should be three left.

And Sasuke is in a four-person team.

I don't care how many of them there

are, let's just get moving and track down Sasuke's scent.

-Sorry, I'm afraid we can't do that.

-What?

Why not?

-The trail goes cold here.

-And what does that mean?

-I'd say, in this case, either Sasuke

was completely annihilated in that explosion

or he used the transportation technique

to escape before it went off.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Transportation technique?

-It was probably the latter.

I've made my sense of smell even keener than a dog's.

I think I found Sasuke.

-A nose sharper than a Ninja Hound's, impressive.

Just what I'd expect from the Inuzuka clan.

-Right Kiba, show us the way.

KONAN (VOICEOVER): Come in Pain, it's time.

He's arrived.

-Well, so how is Sasuke?

-Coming along nicely.

His Sharingan is at full power.

His eyes will surpass even Itachi's.

Then, the time has come.

I'm sure his mind is made up, since he

doesn't have much longer.

-And what about the Nine-tails?

-You will hunt it.

And as leader, I will not tolerate failure.

-Ha, you said you'd take down Itachi.

But in this condition, you're barely even able to move.

-Look Karin, we've been going nonstop lately.

We need the rest.

-Give me a break!

That's all you've done is rest, you punk!

-There, it's all done.

-You didn't do a thing at the northern hideout.

So don't start saying that I'm lazy.

-What did you just say?

Do you want a piece of me?

Well come then, bring it on!

-That's enough you two.

Suigetsu, Karin, have you gathered data on Itachi

like I asked you to?

-You're not in any shape to boss the rest of us around,

you know?

-Well, I picked up some intel about the Akatsuki

here and there, but nothing specific about Itachi,

I'm afraid.

-I've got nothing.

-It appears that they're targeting specific people,

or at least, they're after people

who have very special Chakra.

-Special Chakra?

I see.

-I've been conversing with the animals.

And I've pinpointed a few Akatsuki hideouts.

It seems they sense powerful unpleasant Chakra coming

from those places.

That's what the animals told me.

-Wow, so what you're saying, is even

lowly animals have the ability to sense Chakra.

Or maybe it's because they're so lowly, just like you Karin.

Uh--

-What did you say?!

Suigetsu, I'm not going to let you get away with it next time!

-Hey!

Hey wait!

Stop!

Just relax Karin!

It was just a joke!

-I must kill.

[growling]

-Oh no, Jugo's impulses have started!

-Sasuke, hurry.

-Calm down now Jugo.

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

-Sorry, sorry about that.

-Screaming and making a fuss, this is your fault.

-What?

-It's yours too.

-Karin, you're always trying to provoke me.

Just what are you up to, trying to do that?

I thought I already made it clear to you,

I don't intend to leave Sasuke's team for any reason.

-Look, I'm not up to anything.

You always make it sound like I'm

playing some huge scheme to get you or something.

I'm just trying to test your--

-I-- I need Sasuke beside me.

He can replace Kimimaro.

And he's the only one now.

Sasuke, he said that he would become my cage.

And right now, only he can stop my impulses.

like he did for me just now.

-Yeah, well, I don't know about her,

but my own cage is unlocked and the door's

completely wide open.

We can leave any time that we might want to.

But then again--

-It's this way.

I'm sure.

From his scent, I can tell that he's stopped moving.

I think that he's resting after his battle.

-This is our chance.

-Sasuke, our paths are finally going to cross once again.

(VOICEOVER): Naruto Uzimaki

is no longer just some troublesome brat.

He's acquired some formidable Jutsu

and has many powerful allies.

it won't be easy.

He even destroyed two of Kakuzu's lives

in a single blow.

-Spare us your words of warning and of fear.

They are wasted on us.

Pain's never lost a single battle.

[laughter]

Tobi (VOICEOVER): Well, that is true.

We're done here.

Be certain to tell the other members to hurry

with the remaining Jinchuuriki.

-I know I will.

Tobi (VOICEOVER): Soon, very soon, all our goals

shall be achieved.

When that happens, then everything

will be restored to its rightful place.

The true power of the Sharingan that

belongs to me, Madara Uchiha.

-Once again, the sky is weeping.

Pain, are you--

[theme music]

-I'm coming in Tsunade.

-Jiraiya, have you learned anything?

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): Yes, I've located

the leader of the Akatsuki.

-You have?

Tell me everything!

-If it pans out, we can use that information

to plan a surprise attack.

-Now, now, don't be hasty.

-This isn't like plotting a sequel to your novel.

We have no time to waste.

JIRAIYA (VOICEOVER): Haste makes waste.

We can't afford that, not with the stakes as high as they are.

-Next time, Twilight.
