PAIN: Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, is no more.

If we didn't have this secret of ours,

we probably wouldn't have won this fight.

Let us make sure to extol our former teacher.

By the way, you can come out now.

-That fight sure took you a while.

-His opponent was Jiraiya, after all.

-That was quite an interruption.

Madara ordered me to hunt the Nine-Tails,

and its time I got back to that.

WHITE ZETSU: Well, then, I'd love

to see you hunt the Nine-Tails, so let's go together.

BLACK ZETSU: No.

There's another battle I want to see.

-Oh.

-Shut up.

WHITE ZETSU: Which other battle is that?

BLACK ZETSU: You'll see.

SUIGETSU: I wonder if Sasuke's OK.

-What's that mean?

SUIGETSU: What do you think?

What if the first Akatsuki hideout we is a bullseye?

-Wait a minute.

Are you saying that Itachi is in this hideout?

-I don't know, I only said what if.

This Itachi's supposed to be pretty strong, isn't he?

-No.

There's no way that Sasuke could lose to him.

No way.

-Well, I hope not.

But maybe we should be planning for the worst-case scenario

here.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Sasuke.

-All right, I'm going to check inside.

If anything happens, we're going in.

-We're what?

And why are you taking over all of a sudden?

Boy, when it comes to Sasuke, you always go overboard.

-No, I don't!

That just isn't true at all!

Fine, I won't go, you idiot!

-Then I'll ask the birds.

I'll have them scour the entire area

and keep an eye out for the approach of any enemies.

-Damn.

Just listen to you two.

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): They're so diligent.

-It's no good.

This trail's a fake, too.

I know that finding Sasuke's scent is good news,

but the enemy keeps staying one step ahead of us.

-Yeah, I know.

So we're compensating for their tricks with greater numbers.

-Well, we've searched this area completely.

-Yeah, let's report back to the original

and tell him we found a whole lot of nothing.

-What's wrong, Naruto?

-All the scents in the south forest were only false leads.

-I see.

-Hey, don't look so down, Naruto.

I thought you never give up, no matter what.

Isn't that your ninja way?

-Naruto, he's right.

-All right.

I'll use the chakra that I've restored

and increase the number of shadow clones.

I'm counting on you guys.

-Just leave it to us.

ITACHI: So you've come.

-Who's there?

-It's me, Sasuke.

[music playing]

You've gotten a bit taller.

-And you haven't changed even a little.

Still have those cold eyes.

-You're not going to go crazy and attack me

like you did last time, are you, Sasuke?

-It's like you said, brother-- I fostered my hatred for you.

All this time, I've lived my life

for one single purpose-- to kill you!

It ends here!

-Chidori.

-That's enough!

You are dead!

Die!

You know absolutely nothing about me, Itachi.

You have no idea how much hatred I carry for you in my heart

and just how strong I've become because of that hatred.

You don't need me at all.

We're just like strangers now.

-You have gotten strong.

Meet me at the Uchiha hideout-- alone.

We'll settle things there.

SUIGETSU: Sasuke!

-I thought I told you not to move until I gave the order.

-Karin sensed another chakra.

We got worried, so we thought we'd better come in.

-Feathers?

-Just follow me.

Let's go.

[music playing]

TOBI (VOICEOVER): He's coming along nicely.

All that's left to see is if at the next shedding

he remains a snake or becomes a hawk.

You're really something, Sasuke.

KARIN: I sense the same chakra all over the place.

What is this?

-Shouldn't we change our course, Sasuke?

-Ignore it.

We'll just forge ahead.

SUIGETSU: Good.

The long way around would have been tiring.

-Sasuke!

-What?

What was that?

-Shadow clone.

Duh.

-It's Naruto.

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): How annoying.

-Multi shadow clones, huh?

I see.

So the identical chakra I've been sensing all over the place

belongs to him.

-I found him!

-Nice.

Good job.

Where to?

-This way.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): I'm not letting

you get away this time, Sasuke.

[music playing]

-What is this?

It's a humongous chakra.

And it's fast, too.

Incoming.

-I know you.

-Only Sasuke alone may go beyond this point.

Itachi's orders, so that's how it's going to be.

The rest of you are welcome to wait right here with me.

-All right, fine.

Besides, the only reason I've been traveling with a team

is so nothing would get in the way of my

reaching this destination.

It's fine.

-Sasuke, you can't do this.

Let's take him down and go in there together.

-I have no intention of or interest

in fighting all of you.

But if you insist on going with him, I'll show no mercy.

-Karin, you need to stay put.

This vendetta is mine alone.

-Kisame Hoshigake and his sword, Samehada-- Shark Skin.

Did you forget me?

I'm Suigetsu Hozuki, the younger brother of Mangetsu.

-Oh, I didn't even recognize you.

My, you certainly have grown, Suigetsu.

-It would be boring just to wait around for Sasuke,

don't you think?

So what do you say we play around

and have ourselves a little fun, huh, Master Kisame?

-Unlike your brother, you're quite impetuous.

Aren't you, Suigetsu?

So maybe I should cut you down to size.

-Listen.

Shouldn't we just obey Sasuke's orders?

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Don't be stupid, you blockhead.

You're such a dunce.

-Come on, guys.

This way!

-Wait, Naruto!

What's that chakra?

-Howdy!

-What?

TOBI: Well, now, how's it going there, there and there.

Imagine running into Hidden Leaf folks in a place like this.

And it's two, four, six, eight against one!

What bad luck!

-Wait, those robes.

You're a member of the Akatsuki, too.

-Although he wasn't on that roster that Kabuto gave to us.

TOBI: I'm kinda new here.

Nice to meet you.

-Hmm.

Think you're funny, huh?

Look, buddy, don't waste our time.

-Don't be rash.

We need to wait and see, study the situation first.

We do have a numbers advantage.

-Oh, dear.

Am I being underestimated?

By you guys?

[music playing]

-So he's an Akatsuki.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Another weirdo.

I can't believe they keep getting between us

and Sasuke over and over again.

-Huh?

-Get out of our way!

-Shadow clone?

Just kidding.

-Seems you're more proficient with the blade

than that kid was.

SUIGETSU: Kid?

Do you mean Master Zabuza?

-My broadsword, Samehada, was never

intended for this kind of thing, you know.

It's not for dueling.

-Same here.

This one's for killing!

-And this is what he calls fun?

As if.

They're both dead serious.

Hey, Jugo.

Would you just tell him that--

-It'll be all right.

All the birds are telling me there's

no one nearby who will come to interfere with their fighting.

KARIN (VOICEOVER): Damn it.

What if something happens to Sasuke while these idiots are

playing their little game?

And the Hidden Leaf are still coming after us.

Wait-- the Hidden Leaf's movements have stopped?

TOBI: You are so full of yourself.

I mean, what can a kid like you really do?

HINATA (VOICEOVER): Oh, Naruto.

Thank goodness.

SAKURA: Hinata, Naruto can take whatever he dishes out.

Do not take your eyes off the enemy.

TOBI: Hmm, are you guys analyzing my strength

right now?

Is that what you're doing?

Boy, you guys from the Hidden Leaf sure are clever.

But tell the truth-- for a newbie, I'm pretty good.

Don't you think?

-He's dodged them, every one of Naruto's attacks.

-He's toying with us.

But why?

What is he after?

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): This guy packs way

more power into his blade than I do.

All right, then.

-Your sword plays one note.

I'll take back what I said about you being better than Zabuza.

[music playing]

-Eat this!

Ah, too bad.

I almost got you there, didn't I?

-Why are you so excited?

Haven't you realized yet that it's snack time for me?

Snack time?

SUIGETSU (VOICEOVER): My chakra.

But how?

I haven't used up that much yet.

-My Samehada here grinds up and absorbs chakra.

I thought for sure you would have noticed it before now.

Tell me, would you care for another taste?

-Why, you.

-Now then, what shall we play next, Hidden Leaf folks?

-We don't have time to play around with the likes of you.

-That's right.

-It's because we've got to track down Sasuke ASAP.

-Shino, you didn't get to participate

last time we had a mission to retrieve Sasuke.

We're counting on you this time.

SAI (VOICEOVER): Our bond, is it?

-All right, everyone.

Let's get this over with.

-Formation B. Got it?

-Yeah.

-Yes, sir!

TOBI: Ho, ho, ho!

You're getting serious now?

Well, I better get fired up, too, then.

-You jerk.

Quit kidding around!

-Naruto!

Just stay focused on the formation.

-Yeah, I know that.

-Let's go.

Kiba, you ready?

-Anytime you are.

Right, Akamaru?

-Then here goes.

-Ooh, so high!

Look at him go!

That girl has some monster power.

They distracted me with a decoy!

And now those three are surrounding me!

I don't know which one to dodge!

Hey!

No fair!

-Better pay attention.

-Whoa, dear.

Oh, hey!

Three against one?

You Hidden Leaf cowards!

NARUTO: Rasengan!

TOBI: Ah!

You weren't a decoy?

You got me.

-Huh?

TOBI: Kidding!

Ninja art blockade jutsu.

Geez.

You said you guys were all going to attack together,

and I believed you.

-Keep it up!

Split up and force your way through his defenses!

-Oh, dear.

Um, ninja art, uh--

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): What kind of jutsu is that?

-Ooh, I've got it.

I'm going to name this jutsu ninja art whack-a-mole jutsu!

KAKASHI (VOICEOVER): Except it's the mole doing

the whacking, not the other way around.

-Kakashi--

-I know.

Unless we finish him off for good,

we're not going to be able to move forward.

-Damn it!

TOBI: So what should we play next, guys?

-We can't be wasting time like this!

We got to get after Sasuke!

-Yeah, we know that.

We'll go with battle formation A next.

[music playing]

SASUKE (VOICEOVER): Not much longer now.

I'm coming, Itachi!

[music playing]

ITACHI (VOICEOVER): My foolish little brother.

So you've finally come to confront me.

It looks like you've been waiting for this moment.

Well, so have I. So come, show me what you've got.

Bring to life the death you've always envisioned for me.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden-- "The Longest Moment."

How much can you actually see with those eyes?
