-What's going on out there?

DANZO: The Akatsuki has begun its assault.

-Danzo.

-Are you serious?

The Akatsuki are really here?

-Yes.

And the one leading this assault is

Pain, the head of the Akatsuki who defeated Jiraiya.

-You mean that so soon after killing Jiraiya,

Pain has actually come here personally

to attack the Hidden Leaf Village?

-Yes.

The Akatsuki's been hunting the Jinchuriki hosts

to accumulate tailed beasts.

They have the Sand's One Tail, and it's

believed that most of the Jinchuriki

have fallen into their hands.

-Then that means that their target here is--

-That's right.

The Fourth Hokage's legacy.

Naruto Uzumaki.

And yet, despite the danger involved,

the Fifth Hokage is trying to summon Naruto back.

-To do such a thing-- why, it would

be exactly like pouring oil onto a fire.

-I know.

And I know if we keep listening to the Fifth Hokage,

the Hidden Leaf will be destroyed.

[screaming]

-Everybody, go!

-What was that?

-Stop.

Get back inside.

-Shikamaru, what's going on?

-It's the Akatsuki.

They're here.

Kurenai-sensei, do me a favor and step back, please.

Now you die.

Get down!

-You all right?

-Yeah.

Don't worry about me.

You need to take the underground tunnel to the evacuation

shelter.

I'll take you part of the way.

No arguments.

If something happened to you or your child,

I would never be able to face Asuma.

KURENAI (VOICEOVER): Shikamaru.

[screaming]

-We've gotta get out of here!

[screaming]

-Watch out!

[screaming]

GAMAKICHI: Eh, where's Naruto?

-Can't you see him?

-Huh?

-Look carefully.

-Huh?

Huh.

Naruto.

I didn't even notice him at first.

FUKASAKU: Impressive, isn't it?

Can you please how far he's come in becoming one with nature?

-All right, I think I've had enough

of this training for now.

It's time to go take care of some other business.

-Watch out, Lord Fukasaku!

-Ah!

-Ow, ow, ow, ow.

You all right after that, Lord Fukasaku?

FUKASAKU (VOICEOVER): Jiraiya boy's eyes saw the truth.

He will become even stronger than Jiraiya boy.

-Hey, get off of me, already.

You're heavy, you know?

-Damn you, Naruto!

-Choji!

-I brought some of my food pills.

-Great.

Thank you.

There are so many.

-My stomach.

-Can someone please--

SAKURA: What's going on here?

-Oh, Miss Sakura.

You're just in time.

You're going to have to take command.

-Huh?

What about Shizune?

-I'm afraid she's not here.

-That's right.

The autopsy.

-There are so many wounded, the medical ninja

are simply overwhelmed.

We really need someone to take charge and give orders.

-What?

Me?

MAN: I really need some help.

Please.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): How can I be responsible for so many lives?

At a time like this, Lady Tsunade would--

-I don't know.

I don't know where my family is.

-Wait here.

Take this, and do your best.

-Hey, these are for the wounded.

They're not for me.

I'll be fine.

Everyone, if you can walk, then please

go to the evacuation shelter.

We're expecting more wounded at any moment.

Those who are critical we'll designate with the color red.

Yellow if they can wait, green for minor injuries.

Go and tie colored ribbons on the patients,

and separate them by group.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Wow.

You're amazing, Sakura.

I'm going to head back.

You've clearly got this.

-Right.

Are you all right?

Can you breathe OK?

[theme music]

-All right, then.

I'll return and call Naruto back home.

-Good.

Hurry.

-Stop.

We must leave Naruto on Mt.

Myoboku.

-What's that?

-That's right.

We understand it's the Akatsuki's leader

who has attacked our village.

-How did you find that out?

-Danzo is the one who informed us.

-He also said that they're after the power Naruto

possesses as a Jinchuriki.

-They are.

And what of it?

-Last time we gave you wide reign,

but now conditions are different.

Naruto is still a child, and the assailant we're talking about

is the one who brought Jiraiya down.

If Naruto's taken down, and the Nine Tails

falls into their hands-- what are you doing?

-Naruto, you don't have to protect me!

Stop, already!

Dreams don't come true when you're dead.

-Don't you worry about me, granny.

-Get out of the way, Naruto!

Don't do it!

-Until the day that I become Hokage, whatever happens,

there's no way I'm going to die.

I will avenge Pervy Sage.

I can't just sit around here doing nothing.

-We'll just have to keep our emotions in check.

The job that we must give to ourselves

now is to set examples and aid the next generation, Tsunade.

To achieve that, I'd gladly risk my life.

FUKASAKU: I can see that this child truly

loved and admired Jiraiya boy.

It makes me hope more than anything

that he is the child of prophecy.

For Jiraiya boy has clearly bequeathed his

all to his student.

-You stop this!

Unhand us now, Tsunade.

-What?

You dare to raise your hand against us counselors.

What are you thinking?

-No!

What are you two thinking?

How long do you intend to treat him like a child?

-What?

-The Will of Fire has passed to him, and now it's growing.

Naruto's striving to surpass Jiraiya this very minute!

That's right.

He's not some hidden weapon for us to use as a deterrent

to war.

He's a true Shinobi, and defender of the Leaf.

He's Naruto Uzumaki!

Jiraiya, Lady Chiyo of the Sand, and Sarutobi-sensei all

had what you two clearly lack.

-Today I'd like to start by reciting for all of you

a poem that I've written.

I expect you to remember it when you go home.

-Eh, I can't memorized stuff like that.

No, thank you.

-That's for sure!

-Pipe down, Naruto!

-Ah!

Iruka-sensei!

-That's all right, Iruka.

I suppose that they do have a point, after all.

-Right.

Sorry, sir.

-Very well, then.

I won't expect you to memorize the entire poem,

nor to understand its meaning.

However, when you have all grown to adulthood,

I want you to think back and recall the words

that this old man told you.

This poem is about a way of thinking

that is sure to be useful to you in your future.

It concerns the Leaf's Will of Fire.

In the place where the tree leaves dance,

there one shall find flames.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village.

And once again, the tree's leaves shall bud anew.

-In this world of shinobi created

by frivolous old people, it's a great comfort to me

to know that new souls like yourself have come along.

Up till now, everything I've done in my life has been wrong.

But at least here in my final hour,

I can finally do something right for a change.

The Sand and the Leaf.

May the future that awaits them be different

from the way things were in our time.

This special power of yours that Kakashi spoke of-- that power

will change the future dramatically.

Become a Hokage the likes of which has never been seen.

-Jiraiya, Lady Chiyo, and Sarutobi-sensei,

they had what you lack.

And that's the power to believe!

Just as my grandfather, the first Hokage, believed in you

and entrusted the Hidden Leaf Village to you,

it is time for you to believe in and entrust

the Leaf to the next generation.

-Do as you please.

-Lady Tsunade.

-Did you find something?

-Yes.

Look at this.

-What is it?

-They're receiver-like objects.

They respond to chakra signals.

They're embedded throughout the body of Pain

that Jiraiya brought back.

-Receivers?

-According to what Lord Fukasaku said,

every one of the six Pains have these stuck in them,

studded all over their bodies and faces.

-Does that mean the six Pains receive

some kind of chakra signal across their whole bodies?

Is that how they synchronize their actions?

-That part isn't entirely clear yet.

-A receiver.

They could use it to transmit chakra to each other.

Or a wireless radio.

-And this thing is still reacting, even now.

I think this must be connected to the secret of Pain's

strength.

With data from the interrogation core, we'll figure this out.

-Now, according to the Intel Division,

the enemy's here searching for Naruto.

And this enemy who infiltrated the Leaf Village

is undoubtedly Pain.

-Pain's here?

-We should relay all of this to Lord Fukasaku as well.

You, messenger frog, when you recall Naruto,

relay this intel.

-Understood.

-Shizuna, take the data from the autopsy to the Interrogation

Corps.

Find out who and what Pain is.

-Yes, ma'am.

-ANBU Black Ops, Cell B, escort Shizune,

and then guard the Interrogation Corps.

Don't let Pain get near them.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Meanwhile, I'll await reports on the roof,

and I'll start healing all of the injured through Katsuyu.

I will protect the village.

Let's go!

-I don't know why, but I got a really bad feeling right now.

-Those two are completely useless.

All that they've done is grow old.

So, Tsunade has persuaded them to her side instead.

At least now, the Nine Tails can be kept caged up.

-I'll ask you once more, where is Naruto Uzumaki?

-Go to hell.

-Speak.

Where is Naruto Uzumaki?

Is he in this village, or isn't he?

Answer me now.

-I-- I don't know.

-Amazing.

He absorbed all the jutsu.

-Then we'll just have to attack him directly.

-Summoning Jutsu!

Katsuyu, go attend to all of the Hidden Leaf residents,

both shinobi and civilian.

Take my chakra, and use it to treat

anyone who was injured in the attack.

-The village is in serious danger.

-Never mind.

Just go.

-I understand.

-I will protect this village with all of my power.

I swear upon my title of Hokage!

-Are you all right?

-Tell me where the Nine Tails Jinchuriki is,

or else I will kill you.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): That insignia-- I see.

So he's Akatsuki.

-Now, tell me.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): Naruto.

-You're wasting your time.

I have no intention of telling you anything.

-I see, then.

I have no use for you.

-You create a loud diversion so you

can hunt from the shadows, huh?

-Kakashi.

-Take that injured man and go.

Leave this to me.

-Roger.

Right away.

IRUKA (VOICEOVER): Good luck, Kakashi.

-Now it's just the two of us.

-Then I shall ask you, instead.

Where is the Nine Tails?

-What you're doing is totally pointless, you know?

The people here are different than the ones

in other villages.

Even if it means dying, there's not a single one of us

who'd ever sell out a comrade.

[theme music]

TSUNADE: Pain displays his overwhelming strength

by wiping out the Leaf reinforcements.

Despite their valiant efforts, the shinobi of the Leaf

are gradually cornered.

Those who fight for the village and those

who fight to protect their loved ones.

As they fight past their own limits,

what's possible strategy can they come up with to win?

Next time on Naruto Shippuden, Pain versus Kakashi!
