[roar]

[roar]

Huaagh!

[roar]

[screaming]

Iruka... Are you all right?

Mom, what's the matter?

Dad, look, it's mom! She's been hit!

[growling]

Why didn't you stay at the shelter, Iruka?

Leave your mother to me. You hurry up and get out of here, now!!

No Dad! I'm not just going to run away, and leave you and Mom behind here!

I'm going to stay and protect mom!

Don't you dare push me, son!

It's a parent's duty to protect their children!

[roar]

We have to protect the village!

We need to drive the Nine Tails outside the village walls!

Right!

Buy me some time so I can ready my jutsu.

Do not let up the attack!

Yes, sir! Let's go!

[roar]

Yaagh!

Ninja Art! Summoning!

Monkey King Enma! Appear!

The Nine Tails, huh?

So the seal was broken?

[growling]

We'll drive it from the Village.

With the Adamantine Nyoi!

Transformation! Gotcha!

Now Enma! Let's go!

Right!

Extend!

[roar]

Good, it's been driven out of the village!

Now keep at him, one after another!

Minato. Where are you?

You're worthy of your title, Fourth Hokage,

injuring me and separating Nine Tails from me.

But he will be mine one day.

I shall rule this world!

There are plenty of ways to do it.

Given his tone, he's not joking around.

[growling]

[roar]

Yaagh!

Hold the attack, all of you! Wait for the Fourth Hokage!

Iruka...

[gasp]

No let me go! My Mom and Dad are both still fighting back there!

[roar]

Listen up. You younger shinobi stay away from Nine Tails.

What?! What do you mean?

This is domestic trouble, not a war against other villages.

There's no need for all of you to put your lives on the line for this.

You've gotta be kidding!

Stop it, Kurenai. Just calm down!

You are also a shinobi. You aren't going to live forever, you know.

But, my daughter, you're a woman, too.

Bequeath the Will of Fire upon my future grandchildren!

Please make that your oath to me your father.

For I do believe in you.

[gasp]

This is bad.

He's going to do that again?!

Lord Third Hokage!

Summoning Jutsu!

Is that?

It's the Fourth Hokage!

I shall rule this world.

Kushina. Forgive me.

Hold the Nine Tails! Just for a little while longer!

I'll give it my best. But that's going to be tough, even for me!

[Minato] I'm going to need a lot of chakra to transport such a large object away.

Minato...

He transported the Nine Tails with him?!

Over there!

[angry growl]

[panting]

I must erect a barrier now!

But I don't have much chakra.

I can still do it, Minato.

[growl]

[cough]

Kushina!

[cries]

[soft] Woke you up, huh?

Sorry, Naruto.

Kushina.

I'll take the Nine Tails with me to my death.

Because that way, we can reduce the interval,

between now and when he emerges again.

It's all I can manage now with what little chakra I have left.

but I'll be able to save you both.

So thank you, for everything you've done.

[gasp]

[Minato] Kushina... you're the one... It was you who made me the Fourth Hokage.

You made me a man!

And you made me this baby's father!!

And yet...

Oh, Minato! Please don't give me that sad look!

I... I'm happy! Because you love me.

And what's more,

Today is the birthday of our beautiful child!

But most of all, if I were to imagine me, alive,

and our future, the three of us together as a family,

I can't really picture us... as being anything... but truly happy!

I guess, if I were allowed just one regret,

I wish I could've seen Naruto...

...all grown up. I wish I could have seen that!

Kushina, there's no need for you to die,

in order to kill the Nine Tails.

Preserve what little chakra you have, for your reunion with Naruto.

Huh?

I'm going to seal the rest of your chakra inside Naruto.

It'll be part of an Eight Signed Seal.

And then I'll take the Nine Tails with me.

[growling]

Since I'm not a Jinchuriki, I'll have to use the Reaper Death Seal.

You can't! If you cast that, then you'll...

And there's one other thing. I'm only going to seal half of the Nine Tails.

[growling]

It's physically impossible to seal this much power.

But it's also strategically unwise.

If you take the Nine Tails with you, there will be no Jinchuriki until he reemerges.

This will upset the balance of power between the Tailed Beasts.

With the Reaper Death Seal, we can at least seal away half of the Nine Tails forever.

And, the other half of the Nine Tails.

You know, perhaps,

It could be that you are the Child of Prophecy!

Huh? The what?

In the future, terrible things are likely to befall the shinobi world.

The savior that will emerge is the Child of Prophecy.

I'll seal it inside Naruto with the Eight Signed Seal!

[gasp]

I know what you're going to say.

But remember what Master Jiraiya said about world upheaval.

And also, all of the calamities that would accompany it.

I've become convinced of two things today.

First: that masked man who attacked you will bring catastrophe to the world.

And second: the one who will stop him Is this child!

This infant, whose godfather is Master Jiraiya,

He will open up the future as a Jinchuriki.

I know it.

Somehow, I'm sure of it.

But, Minato!

Reaper Death Seal!

[Minato] Let's believe in him!

After all, this child is our son!

Those signs. Don't tell me!

Yes, it's the Reaper Death Seal.

After I've completed this seal, I'm going to seal your chakra inside of Naruto, too.

You won't have much time, but I want you to help him try to control Nine Tails power as a Jinchuriki.

But he's our son, Minato!

[Kushina] ...which is exactly why I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden!

And tell me... Why use the Reaper Death Seal?!

If it's just so I can meet Naruto when he's grown up, especially if it's only going to be for a short time...

Then there's no need for you to die!

I'd rather you stay with him... and watch over him...

I just don't understand why it has to be this way!

Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed...

for the balance of power among Tailed Beasts...

For his nation... for his Village?

Why do you have to sacrifice yourself at all?!

Just for me?! Please!

To forsake one's nation, and one's village,

is exactly the same as forsaking one's own child.

Your very own homeland was destroyed, so you should know that.

A harsh life awaits those without a land to call their home.

Besides, our family,

Is shinobi.

Finally, even if I were to live, I could never be a substitute for you.

Huh?

You won't have much time with him.

But there's something that only you can tell Naruto.

Something that I just can't.

That's a mother's role.

I'm not doing this just for you.

I'm doing it for Naruto!

I will die for my son.

It is my duty as his father.

Rgh!

Lord Third! What's wrong?!

It's no good. We can't get in any closer.

This barrier is preventing the Nine Tails from escaping.

Seems the two of them are planning to take care of the Nine Tails all by themselves!

Damn you, Fourth Hokage!

Seal!

[roar]

My body... is going numb.

Can't believe how heavy his chakra is.

[growling]

Damn you!

It is the Reaper Death Seal after all. I can't believe he used it!

The Nine Tails is still alive, though!

Couldn't he seal all of it away?

It appears smaller, but...

All right, now for the Eight Signed Seal.

I'll seal the rest of the Nine Tails in Naruto.

[growl]

A Ritual Altar? He's planning to seal me up again!

Not inside that baby?!

[wheeze]

[coughs]

Kushina! Are you okay?

[big roar]

There you are!

[wet impact]

[Nine Tails] [roar]

[Minato] I said I was his father.

Dying for him is my duty!

Yes, but I'm his mother. it's mine, too.

There's a child in there, too?!

Yes, and they saved it!

[growl]

Why you!!

[labored breath]

I think this may be the first time that I've lost an argument.

I Guess it proves just how serious you are about doing this.

I thank you, Kushina.

Summoning Jutsu!

Yaagh! The Nine Tails?!

And Lord Fourth, too! What is going on here?!

Gerotora, I'll give you the Sealing Formula's key.

When I'm done, Take it to Master Jiraiya to store it.

So that's it.

Minato plans to make his own child the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki to save the village.

I confirm I received the key.

All right, I'm off now.

And now we're safe.

Kushina, I'm not going to last much longer.

I'll start the Eight Signed Seal, right now.

I still want to put some of my chakra in Naruto.

We won't see him for quite a while.

So let's tell him what we want to say.

Naruto. Don't be a picky eater. Just eat a lot so you grow up big and strong.

And make sure that you bathe every day and that you stay warm, too.

Also, don't stay up too late. Make sure you get plenty of sleep.

Don't forget to make friends as well.

You don't need a ton of them, okay? Just a few is fine.

As long as they're ones that you can really trust.

And... heh...

Your mom wasn't very good at this;

make sure you study hard and learn your ninjutsu.

Always remember: everyone is good at some things and not so good at others.

so even if something doesn't go well, don't get depressed, okay?

When you're at the Academy, respect your teachers and the upperclassmen.

Oh! Now, this is important.

Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi.

Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money.

Take your pay. Put it in a savings account.

No alcohol, not until you're of age!

Too much sake is bad for you, so practice moderation.

And, another Prohibition, is women.

Remember, I am one, So I don't know too much about it.

Keep in mind, that this world is made up of men and women.

And so at some point, you'll notice girls, and that's normal.

Just be careful, don't fall for the bad ones.

Just go out there and find someone who's like me!

Oh, uh, that reminds me.

speaking of the Three Prohibitions, you should be wary of Jiraiya Sensei ya know.

[heavy breathing]

Naruto, I'm sorry to say,

there will be plenty of hardships and painful times ahead.

Just be true to yourself.

Make sure to have dreams, and the confidence to make those dreams come true!

Oh, Naruto... There's so much... Oh, so much more.

There are so many things I wish I had time to pass on to you.

So much more I want to tell you!

I wish I could stay with you longer... I love you!

Minato, I'm sorry! I used up your time!

No, it's all right.

Naruto, my words to you.

Well, I guess your talkative mom,

said it all.

[softly] Eight Signed Seal!

I'm sorry, for making you the Nine Tails' vessel, Naruto.

For making you bear what should have been our burden to carry.

For not being able to stand by your side.

And for not being there to give you love.

You don't have to apologize.

Yeah, sure, in the past, I went through a lot as a Jinchuriki.

But I would never blame you or Dad for that.

[gasp]

So, yeah... I never really had parents... or felt a parents' love.

After all, you and dad weren't around.

But still, I had a feeling.

And besides, now I know it for sure. Because you and Dad both sacrificed yourselves just for me.

So now I realize, there's more than Nine Tails inside me;

there's your love, too!

That makes me really happy!

Mom and Dad, I'm glad I'm your kid!

[Kushina] Minato, did you hear that??

Our hopes really did get through to reach our son!

Naruto...

Thank you so much for letting me become a mother.

And thank you for letting Minato become a father.

Thank you for being born to us!

Thank you...

...so much.

Thank you!

[Aoba] Naruto faced and defeated his true self here.

Well, Guy? Why don't you try it out for yourself!

[Guy] Don't be foolish! We have to help Naruto first!

[Aoba] Are you just too afraid to face your true self?

[Guy] What?! Okay then, I'll try it out!

[Aoba] I have a feeling your true self isn't even human!

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Battle in Paradise! The Odd Beast vs. The Monster!

[Guy] That thing is supposed to be my true self?!
