[nervous laugh]

[groan]

Oh yeah... by the way, Kakashi Sensei...

(Naruto) ...Who's she?

One of Sasuke's comrades.

Was. I'm not anymore.

I'm going to take her back to the village to question her.

Got it... Back to the Hidden Leaf Village then...

(Kakashi) Naruto! Not that way.

What are you talking about, Kakashi Sensei?

You said we were heading home and the Village is that way.

We forgot something in the Land of Iron...

...Right, Sakura?

Forgot something? Huh??

[gasp]

(Kakashi) We better go retrieve it, don't you think?

Yeah...

Forgot what? What's going on?

Ahh!

Oof! I think I'm gonna hurl!

What do you think you're doing out here, Naruto!?

You were supposed to go back to the Village with me!

And you made a hole in the Inn's floor!

Naruto... Come on. Let's get going.

Naruto...?

[gasp] What!?

Oh, come on! It was a clone all along!?

[groan] I'm so sorry!

You made me chase you and apologize to the Inn keepers ...again!!

[sheepish chuckle]

Naruto arrived here just in the nick of time to save Saukra...

...but I guess you didn't send him over to help us out, huh?

No! Of course not! You ordered me to take him back to the Village...

...I wouldn't disobey you! Heh!

I see. So basically Naruto outfoxed you and left you behind, is that it?

No! Well... Uh...

It all worked out for the best, Yamato.

If Naruto hadn't come when he did, Sakura might be dead now.

(Kakashi) And perhaps me too...

[sigh]

Sasuke's chakra...

It's different than before...

It was incredibly dark, and cold.

(Naruto) Still...

(Naruto) Sasuke is Sasuke.

You're right.

(Thinking) Sasuke is Sasuke...

(Thinking) Yeah...

Hm?

(Kakashi) Anyway, that's what happened, Yamato...

...so please forgive Naruto for what he did.

Ugh. Alright. I understand.

Release!

[gasping]

(Yamato) Okay, go on ahead!

(Kakashi) And you?

Me, I'm gonna go back to the Inn and repair the big hole Naruto made.

[sheepish laugh]

I'm sorry about that, Captain Yamato!

Honestly, Naruto.

We should get going as well, you two.

(Thinking) Sasuke abandoned me...

(Thinking) ...and now I am a Hidden Leaf Prisoner of war.

(Thinking) I wonder how Suigetsu and Jugo are doing...

(Thinking) Whatever... Why should I care anymore?

(Lady Koharu) Danzo should have returned by now...

(Lady Koharu) I wonder what's going on.

What about the Five Kage Summit?

Can you explain the unfortunate outcome?

(Shikaku) May I enter?

What is it, Shikaku?

There's been some unusual unrest within the Foundation.

What kind of unrest?

Is it among the membership?

Yes. They seem restless and agitated about something, but I don't know the reason.

(Foundation Member) Lord Homura, Lady Koharu...

Well. speak of the devil.

Has there been any word from Lord Danzo?

No.

We're waiting for him to return, too.

My...

Well, they are restless indeed!

The higher-ups don't know any thing either.

What about Sai? He went to the Land of Iron, too.

Find Sai.

Have him report back on every thing that's happened.

We're home at last!

Hey! Lord Bee!

Yo! It's been a while, Omoi! Karui!

Ya been gettin' by cheerfully, carefully, merrily?

No! Of course not!

Not since you disappeared like that!

Do you know how worried we were!?

Hey, he made it back to us alive, so it's all good now!

Welcome, Lord Raikage. I'm glad to see you back home.

I know it's sudden, but we must hold council soon about the Five Kage Summit.

[groan] No down time?

We can't afford to take it easy yet.

Everything's about to really heat up.

What are you talking about?

The Fourth Great Ninja war.

What!?

An allied Shinobi force has been formed.

We'll go into more detail at the meeting.

Also, we're going to need to set up an audience with the Feudal Lord.

Yes, sir. I'll request a conference with him.

Hold on...

Hey, Lord Bee. What's that?

A prize from my fight with one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

It's taken quite a liking to me.

It never leaves my side now.

Wow! That's one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's blades!?

Incredible! Just as expected!

As expected, huh??

Well as expected, I'm still at someone else's mercy!

Mercy!

(White Zetsu) Well, did you record the battle?

Yes.

And Samehada?

Eight-Tails took it with him.

Oh yeah? So then...

Yes... It went perfectly.

(Black Zetsu) You've got to hand it to Kisame...

I will declare the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War at the Five Kage Summit.

So, the time has come, has it?

Once I've declares war, I suspect the Eight-Tails freedom will be restricted-

-and he'll be confined to his Village.

Then you'll be able to hunt him at your own leisure.

I'm ready to go after him right now. But--

Infiltrate first.

I want you to sneak into their midst and obtain any intel you can.

So, this is to be an infiltration mission then?

Use White Zetsu.

Once he touches someone, he can copy their chakra, and form an indistinguishable clone of them.

Just leave it to me!

But he's weak.

(Madara) He's useless in battle but he's good for deception.

You realize that if fighting the Eight-Tails gets too exciting--

--it's possible that I could end up killing him...

But I accept.

Good. I leave the Eight-Tails in your hands.

I'm on it.

I've been searching high and low for you, Eight-Tails.

You see, my great blade Samehada simply loves powerful chakra--

--and it seems to have caught scent of a very delicious chakra.

I'm sorry, but I must feed Samehada, and you're what it wants to eat!

(Kisame) But don't worry, I won't let it kill you...

(Kisame) Now then, this is where things start getting tough...

(Kisame) It was good to let Samehada take a liking to the Eight-Tails--

(Kisame) --but I never imagined it would share chakra with him.

(Kisame) Luckily, that ended up working in my favor as well.

Their Sensory-Type ninja haven't caught on yet.

It's not surprising, since Samehada takes in Kisame's chakra and uses it for energy.

(Black Zetsu) So they have the same chakra signature.

(Black Zetsu) That's probably what the enemy is thinking too...

But I could have taken on the infiltration mission.

You're too weak.

Ultimately, we are going to capture the Eight-Tails.

Kisame's the best choice for this mission.

Aww...

But you pulled off that performance quite well...

It wasn't easy switching places with Kisame under water.

I'm really not used to that!

(White Zetsu) Don't you think you're overdoing it?

No. I used just the right amount of force for the Eight-Tails.

Alright. Well, I guess it's my turn now.

Yes, the rest is in your hands.

Water Style! Super Shark Bomb!

Double Lariat!!!

(White Zetsu) I can undo my body substitution Jutsu now, right?

(Black Setsu) Yes.

It's almost feeding time.

Come on! Let's merge.

That's what you forgot!?

I don't get it. How can all these guys just lie around and sleep--

--while you were in such a bind, Sakura!

[nervous laugh]

(Kakashi) Sakura...

Don't forget that these guys were going to help you...

...so apologize to them after you wake them up, alright?

I will.

Wake them? [groan]

Oh boy...

Naruto, it's my fault that they're all fast asleep.

So, please, be gentle when you wake them, okay?

Ugh, I'm still sick...

You're going to sleep too!?

Listen, isn't Naruto like this 'cause --Sakura, isn't it--?

Because of your poison?

[groan]

[chuckle]

(Karin) What a carefree guy! He's already out!

(Thinking) He's sleeping so soundly!

(Thinking) Naruto seems to have finally let things go.

However, we don't have time to waste here.

Sakura, you're gonna have to wake them up.

[groaning]

Huh? What's this? Sakura?

[nervous laugh] Next up is Sai...

I'm awake. It just wore off.

I'm sorry, guys!

Hold on, why's Naruto here?

(Kiba) Tsk, and he's fast asleep, too!

(Kakashi) I'll explain everything on the way home.

Hey! Get up! Hey!

Uhh, Kiba! Be a little gentler with him, would you?

But... why?

(Sakura) Do you still feel nauseous?

I'm fine.

Could you take a look at this?

(Kiba) What do you mean? Looks fine to me.

Then the Curse Mark really is gone?

[gasp]

Lord Danzo put a Curse Mark on my tongue to keep me from talking about him.

Danzo? That's the guy who's the new Hokage, right?

Though he hasn't officially taken office...

...but what's your point, Sai?

If the Curse Mark's really gone... [gasp]

It seems that it's true.

Can it be?

Lord Danzo's gone?

This woman would know more about it than me.

Yeah, that Danzo guy...

Sasuke got him.

Sasuke did!?

Just hold on!

Are you telling us that Sasuke killed Danzo?

But why!? He's Hokage.

That's all I have to say.

C'mon! Give us the details!

What is going on!?

I don't have a clue about what's happening here!

(Naruto) [groaning]

Make it an extra large bowl of ramen...

I think it's about time you got up already!

Now tell us what's going on!!

Just wake up! Naruto!

Okay, the next step's the meeting with the Feudal Lord.

He's waiting for you now.

Alright. None of you waste any time.

Especially you...

...Bee!

Yes, my brother?

Listen, you get what I'm saying don't you?

Sure! I got it, man! I understand! I'm down with the plan! Yeah!

Things are getting really bad.

Yeah, I know. A Great Ninja War.

Basically, it's just a big, all out, fight.

They're going to round up a bunch of newbies like us who have no real experience in actual warfare--

--and send us to the front lines...

...surrounded by Akatsuki guys that no one knows much about...

...it'll mean certain death for us!

(Omoi) Of course we'll have no choice but to give it our all...

(Omoi) ...so I'll fight as hard as I can...

(Omoi) But the enemy's counter attack will be relentless and I'll end up crying...

...And then Karui, when you die...

Jerk! Don't kill me off!

Yo, don't despair my young ones.

But Lord Bee...

Now now, I'll put your troubled hearts at ease, just listen to me, baby!

I'm gonna lay down a little sentimental rap!

Sentimental?

(Kiba) Damnit! This whole thing is ridiculous!

I did what you said! I found Sasuke, and for what!?

Calm down. Don't be angry, Kiba.

(Kiba) Well don't act like you're the only hero here, Sakura!

(Kiba) You told us to keep this a secret from Naruto!

But Sai went and babbled it all!

And on top of which, then Sasuke got away!

(Naruto) Kiba...

Just shut it! Man up and stop whining!

Hey speak for yourself! You're the one who went on a rant, Naruto!

Huh? What's that!?

Yeah, Kiba's right about that!

You're way too simple minded to be trying to form such complex thoughts!

Sai! What's your problem!? When did you ever develop a sense of humor?!

Why thank you!

I wasn't being nice!

(Rock Lee) [laughing] What Bushy Brow!?

Oh, nothing! You just seem like your old self again, Naruto!

(Kiba) He means you haven't grown up at all! Once an idiot, always an idiot!

(Naruto) If anyone's an idiot, you are Kiba! You idiot!

(Kiba) Hey! No idiot gets to call me an idiot!

Sai! Quit it! I've had enough of your laughing!

(Thinking) Naruto is the complete opposite of Sasuke...

(Thinking) His chakra... It's so bright, and warm!

(Karin Thinking) ...So welcoming...

[gasp]

(Thinking) What is that!?

(Thinking) Deep inside him! A hidden chakra! It's so dark! It's like...

Sai, you need to tell us everything that's happened.

What's up? Who are they?

ANBU Black Ops from the Foundation.

It's as you, my seniors, already guessed.

The same reason the Curse Mark put on us by Lord Danzo is gone.

Then Lord Danzo,,, is dead.

Yes.

That's....

And his bodyguards? Foo and Torune?

I have no knowledge of their fate.

They weren't at the site with Danzo.

Therefore, if you are in agreement, I would like us to discuss the future of the Foundation.

With the new Hokage, here.

What!? The new Hokage!?

Kakashi Hatake has been appointed.

We'll head back before you.

(Sakura) You're really going to be the next Hokage Kakashi Sensei?!

[sigh] Mhm.

Looks like it! I'm afraid that I don't really have a choice.

(Raikage) I'll get right to the point, your Lordship--

--The Five Great Shinobi Nations of the Hidden Cloud, Hidden Leaf, Hidden Stone--

--Hidden Mist, and Hidden Sand, along with the samurai of the Land of Iron--

--have formed the Allied Shinobi Forces...

...I ask for your approval on that.

(Feudal Lord) But Raikage, Why such haste?

Rivals have always existed among Shinobi from different nations--

--yet you want to pull your strength in a military alliance?

For what reason?

The Tailed Beasts.

Tailed Beasts?

A group that's known as the Akatsuki possesses 7 of the Tailed Beasts, and has declared war on us.

(Cee) The Fourth Great Ninja War...

[gasp] Continue...

The remaining Tailed Beasts are the Hidden Leaf's Nine-Tails, and our own Eight-Tails.

We have no choice but to cooperate.

Raikage, this isn't a case of a retainer wanting to supplant his Lord, now, is it?

Listen, your Lordship, we don't even know if we'll be able to keep the Feudal Lords protected.

That's how difficult this battle will be.

Hm?

I understand, Raikage. I approve this alliance.

Then I request that you convene a Summit of the Feudal Lords!

You can't be serious.

Arranging a summit like that? Do you know how difficult that would be?

Please, Sir,

Alright, very well. Since I have no choice... I'll do as you say.

Thank you.

We have approval from the Feudal Lords.

Which means that now we can officially prepare for war.

Yes. I'll begin all the preparations.

I just hope that all the other Villages are starting to get ready right away, too.

I've got my worries about the Hidden Leaf...

...they may have Hokage succession issues...

And the Sand. The Kazegage is too inexperienced.

Don't worry about the others. Just focus on preparing our own people for all-out warfare.

[crowd cheering]

What is going on?

I'm not sure!

Yeah!!!

(Crowd) Yeah!!!

Yo all you young ones out there! Blast your worries away! Knock em all out of sight!

I got a rap song for y'all, and it's filled with passion, baby!

(Crowd) Yeah!!!

Listen up! Master Kinchan polished my style and mixed in more passion! It's enka rap!

And this one's called "Gosaku"!

Thanks for listening!

(Crowd) Yeah!!!

Yeah!!!!

(Raikage) Drop Kick!!

Ahhhh!

{grunting]

You haven't learned a single thing, have you!?

No, I attest. Your kick's the best. Now let me rest...

(Gaara) The Akatsuki is certainly strong.

(Gaara) But the true strength of our Allied Shinobi Forces, unparalleled in history--

(Gaara) --is unknown. If we unite the power of all our Shinobi, I believe

(Gaara) --we can counter the Akatsuki effectively.

(Gaara) Above all, we must win this battle, or the world will end.

(Naruto) Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Five Great Nations Mobilize"

(Gaara) Begin preparations for The Great War!
