Ship's log, supplemental.

Day five of the storm.

The entire crew is working hard to keep the ship from capsizing.

[gagging]

And I had some friends I knew I could count on to help out as well.

Go, clones! We can do this!

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunting]

This is the last of it!

Yeah!

We did it!

Nice job, guys! I'll release the jutsu now.

[sighing]

Awesome, we can rest!

Naruto!

We could lose the mast to the wind! Can you have your clones go try to support it?

Sure thing! We'll get on it right away!

Huh?!

You're going to make us do even more work?!

We're in a tight situation here. We need every available hand now!

Now come on, let's get to work!

All you "me's"! Give it your all!

This is ridiculous! Even if we are just clones, this is asking way too much of us!

[yelling]

Boy, that doesn't look too safe. Why don't one of you guys go on up there and check it out.

Hey.

Why the heck don't you go do it?

'Cause I'm tired, that's why!

Yeah, we're all tired!

But the fatigue hits me way harder than it does you guys.

I've never heard that before.

Well, I'm the leader, so I have the heavier burden.

And who made you our leader?

What?!

This isn't fair!

You keep us on a bunch of all-night watches, and when the storm finally passes, you refuse to

release the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu? What's up with that?

Look, if another storm blows in, we're gonna need your help again! I don't have a choice.

So are you the one who's real? Or is it me?

That's enough! What do you think we are anyway?

You're clones of me!

You have to do what I tell you to do. You don't have a choice. Got it?

What?!

Are you kidding?!

Drop it. Don't bother with him... even his clones don't trust him!

If you think I'm gonna take a bunch of clones seriously, you're out of your clone mind!

Mm? Huh?

[grunting]

Huh?

Damn it!

Just who the hell do you think you are?!

Listen up! You owe everything to us clones!

You even learned Wind Style thanks to us!

Are you kidding?! My power is all my own!

What?! Get real!

Huh...

You clones... You look different than just a moment ago...

Heh!

That just goes to show that you don't really have what I'd call an up-close-and-personal

relationship with us.

He means that we may be your clones, but you're still real prejudiced against us.

No, that isn't true at all! Maybe it's just hard for me to believe that some of you guys are

really part of me.

Oh, my, my... attacking yourself...

There's just no way that a softie like you or a gloomy one like this guy are actually a part of me!

Or you just can't accept the truth of who you really are...

If this that personality weren't inside you, then you couldn't do the Sexy Jutsu.

And if you want to know the truth, that jutsu is just embarrassing.

I did it 'cause I wanted attention.

Hey, don't cry! All of that stuff is in the past!

Now, the entire village makes a big fuss over us, so be happy!

Stop it!

You guys are pissin' me off! Fine! If you want me to release the stupid jutsu, I will!

Oh, just give it a rest. You'll probably keep working us to the bone. Like it or not, we're stayin'.

I think you need to go cool down!

Release!

Bang!

Now we're all fading!

What is-? Why aren't you guys gone already?! Release!

Release!

Release!!

Release! Release! Release! Release! Release! Release! Release!

It's not working.

Huh?

Didn't you know? It's up to us whether we're summoned or released. Since we don't have faith

in you anymore, we're done listening.

But you-

Get him!

Hey! Stop! Let go of me! Stop it!

We're not gonna let you hit us and get rid of us that easily! Tie him up, boys!

Right!

Ow!

What are you doing, Naruto?

Come on, you worthless clones! Get off of me!

Huh...? Oh!

This is just great! Fiery, hot-blooded men fighting and colliding, freeing pent-up energy!

I guess. But that really doesn't seem to be the case, here.

Uh... A little help, here, Captain Yamato!

The Naruto Gang... is taking control of this ship!

And he's gonna be our hostage!

So if you value Naruto's life, then you'll agree to our demands unconditionally!

What is going on, here?!

Hey, you guys, I can see the shape of an island at about one o'clock over there!

Let me see...

That'll be just perfect for our plans!

All right! Set sail for that island now!

What do you think we should do?

I can't believe that the clones would actually take Naruto's life...

But you know... I really could use some rest on dry land.

Huh?!

Aye, aye! Straight ahead!

Straight ahead.

"Revenge of the Shadow Clones"

Look,... we clones are simply seeking improvements in our work environment.

We demand full compensation and fair treatment for all the risks we take!

And until these rightful demands are met, we, the clone workforce, will remain on strike!

Don't forget that we really want some better food to eat, too!

Yeah, get us some ramen, you idiots!

Miso-flavored stock with roast pork!

Yeah, now you're talking! Nice one, Real Naruto!

[grunting]

Until we get a satisfactory resolution to this situation, you guys can wait there on

that island!

Wow, what an incredibly disturbing turn of events...

If this strike continues to drag on and our arrival gets pushed back any further, then Lady Hokage is gonna

have all our hides.

Oh, yeah! Make sure that you get a lot of meat in there!

Huh? You two, make sure that you get some of this! Remember, you can't wage a war on an empty stomach.

Look, don't even bother listening to the demands of these jokers!

Just hurry up and defeat 'em all, would you?!

Sorry, no one's listening. They're just eating curry.

[groaning]

Come on, do you really believe that Captain Yamato and the others are going to come to rescue you?

Yes! Of course they'll come!

And in the face of a jonin's super ninjutsu, dummies like us, I mean like you guys--

will be wiped out before my friends can even break a sweat!

I wonder what kind of tactic they'll use.

Are they making their move?!

Look! There!

But... Why do you think he's swimming?

Yeah, he's a shinobi. He could just run across the surface, right?

How interesting! Guy Sensei is a jonin, too. They must have something up their sleeves...

Hey! Naruto, my boy!

Stay on your toes, guys. They could attack us from a blind spot.

Don't you see?

See what?

What this chiseled body of mine is tryin' to tell ya? I have no weapons with me. And no tricks!

You mean you came here without any strategy at all?!

I hope that means you've decided to agree to all our demands, then!

Heh! How pretentious!

What?

The music of flesh hitting flesh. Resonating through your bones. That's how we'll

understand each other!

Come at me and let me feel your thoughts!

Why'd they have to send this guy to help me out?!

Come on! Let's go!

[grunting]

Way to go, Bushier Brow Sensei! Now hurry up and untie me!

Again!

Ahhhh!

If even one blow hits us, then we're done for...

Damn!

H'yahhh!

Whoooaaaa!

Hold it!

[yelling]

Mmm?

Haaaaa!

[grunting]

[groaning]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Looking good! That's the way!

Time to get serious!

Uh-oh!

[grunting]

Ahhhh! Take this!

Ahhh!

[grunting]

That was close! I thought I was gonna die!

[sighing]

Oh, man...

So you're safe, huh?

Huh?!

Coming back to the ship was smart.

I mean I really can't fight seriously onboard this ship without damaging it.

[chuckling]

Do you actually think that our whole strategy was simply running away from you?

[gasping]

If we could get you to unleash a big attack at sea and then make it back onto the ship...

Then naturally, you'd have to follow after us.

And right around that time, the waves from your attack...

[struggling]

All this rocking and swaying! Please! Make it stop!

It's awful! My inner ear's going nuts!

Oh, boy... And I just finished eating all that delicious curry.

[gagging]

The only thing Guy's attack has done is leave us at a disadvantage.

Does he even know the purpose of our strategy?

Maybe he just wanted to release the pent-up stress of being at sea.

Oh, great. He's been caught.

Looks like I've been caught.

The only thing you've done is given them another hostage.

Guy Sensei. Start talking. Tell us what Captain Yamato's plan of attack is going to be.

Thing is... I only rushed in to fight you on an impulse.

So I know nothing at all about that.

Then why did you come here at all?!

Oh!

Wow! That's amazing!

Yeah, this fish is huge!

Let's grill it up! Although I guess fried would be good, too...

Here. We could also make a stew...

Hey, make sure that you're guarding that side!

We are!

Huh?

Eh?

Huh?

[seagulls squawking]

[screaming]

What the heck is this?

I can't see!

Ahhh!

Huh...?

[grunting]

Uh, Ninja Art, Animal Suit Jutsu... Get it?

Are you tellin' me you couldn't come up with a better strategy?!

Get them!

Nice, Captain Yamato!

Untie him while we still can!

Damn it. Those gulls were just a diversion so Captain Yamato could activate his jutsu.

Yes!

Take that you lousy clones! I'm free at last! Ha!

But for some reason it doesn't really feel like I'm free...

That's because the way things stand now, all of us are hostages, stupid.

How dare you call the real me "stupid"?! You stupid clones are the real stupid ones, stupid!

I guess that stupidity is all that you have left inside you.

Hey! What did you say?!

Now, hold on, Naruto.

Why don't you just do it? Why don't you give in to their demands?

Huh?! What are you saying, Guy Sensei?

I think I understand where they're coming from.

You get the credit for their hard work. Until now, they've labored without complaint. Isn't

it fair to listen to them?

Well?

Yeah. We're just asking for a little understanding, here.

The demands don't matter-

Stop messing around.

Huh?

Why should I listen to anything that these wannabe me's have to say?!

I'm the real one!

It's almost like I'm their father! Kids are supposed to obey their dad, isn't that right?!

You've got to be joking! You don't get to decide everything!

We demand the same rights as the real Naruto, and the chance to have equal turns as our leader!

Clones are nothin' but clones. There's no way you can be the real me!

You're just copies! Don't be so arrogant!

Naruto! Now, that's uncalled for.

Just whose side are you on, Guy Sensei?!

I'm on your side, Naruto! But take a good look at them and take a look at yourself as well!

Just look!

No, I'm not like them! I'm not a wimp, and I'm not conceited!

I don't go around grinning all the time, and I'm totally not at all like that other guy either!

Naruto!

Sorry Captain Yamato. I know that you had a strategy planned to save me.

But still... I've got to do this my own way!

Is he still gonna rely on clones?

Guess so. He can't use Rasengan without any clones, after all.

Keep talking! I'll summon a hundred more, and it'll be over before you know it!

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

All right! Let's do this!

[screaming]

[grunting]

Huh?!

There's no guarantee that you're going to continue to be you forever, you know.

Honestly, we could take you over at almost any time.

Huh?!

And this is the big chance that we've all been waiting for.

This is why we listened to all your ridiculous requests. From today on, we're taking over from you.

[chuckling]

But, you guys!

Wait a sec, don't you see if I die, then all of you are gonna die, too!

Maybe... but that's only if you actually are the real Naruto.

Let's test it out... Let's find out who the real Naruto is!

[screaming]

[grunting]

[gasping and screaming]

Hey, relax, there's really no reason to get so worked up.

Huh?

But... Where are your weapons? Aren't you guys still on strike and looking to steal my identity?

Huh?

What are you talking about? What kind of nonsense is that?

Wait, hold on... I'm positive that there were four clones before.

Oh, that's right. Earlier, a pulley up there on the mast came loose...

...and one of the clones got wiped out when he shielded you from it.

So he protected me...?

Don't you remember?

So are you the one who's real? Or is it me?

We demand the same rights as the real Naruto!

I guess... that was just a clone's dream.

And when the clone was released, the details were left in my mind.

And it just turned everything inside me upside down.

Whoa, you're finally gonna release the jutsu?

Yeah... good work.

Release!

Lady Tsunade, I know the war will begin soon.

And I know you're planning to send me to the front lines as a commander.

One bad decision from me... and my comrades could die.

Do I really have the strength to command everyone... and hold their lives in my hands?

I just have doubts...

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: The Closed Route.

Go. This mission's just right for you.
