Original subtitles

So at long last, you're finally heading out.

There have been many changes to our plans.

You say that as if I'm the one to blame for everything.

But it was thanks to you that we had to change our strategy.

Thanks to me, your military might and range of attacks increased. You would do well to remember

that in the future.

Don't do anything outside of what we've agreed upon while I'm away.

We are comrades. So you really do need to learn to have a little more trust in me.

You're looking out for your own interests. Don't pretend otherwise.

Aren't you even going to bother telling me where exactly you're headed off to?

The Hidden Rain Village.

The Hidden Rain Village? But they aren't even directly involved in the Great Ninja War.

So, why go there?

It doesn't concern you.

Hey, wait up, Yahiko!

Yeah, wait for us!

I'm gonna get there first!

[screaming]

Mmm.

[gasping]

[trembling]

It's a toad! A giant toad!

How did something like this ever get inside of our hideout?

What do we do now?

You're so noisy! What is all of this ruckus about?

Jiraiya Sensei?! Is that you?!

What do you think? Does it look good on me?

Well, now that you mention it... I guess it kinda does!

[laughing]

What are you laughing at? This isn't funny!

"The Angelic Herald of Death"

Are you trying to find something?

Yes...

Just tell me where you've hidden Nagato's corpse.

You're not going to find him here.

Seems like you're not going to tell me where you've hidden the Rinnegan. I mean, hidden Nagato.

I was sure that you would show up here looking for it, sooner or later. I've been waiting for you.

Now that you're here, I will stop you.

I won't go easy on you just because we were comrades. The Akatsuki does not abide traitors. Understood?

One question... Why would such loyal members as you and Nagato betray me?

You both approved of my Project Tsuki no Me, after all.

If you lost to Naruto Uzumaki, it would be one thing. That couldn't be helped.

But Nagato sacrificed himself... using the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu for Naruto.

That jutsu... was to be used for my sake.

[cheering]

I never imagined that someone as powerful as Pain would be defeated.

We've got to tell Tobi about this. Let's go.

But even Zetsu wasn't able to see what made Nagato change his mind so drastically.

I've told you my story just as you asked.

Now let's hear your response.

I truly believe that eventually the day will come when all people will understand one another.

Even if I understand you now...

That doesn't change how I feel.

There's no way that I can forgive you.

I still hate you.

Then you want to settle things with me...?

I do.

But Pervy Sage believed in me and wanted me to continue his quest.

And for those reasons... I choose to believe in him, and to follow what he taught me.

So that's it; that's my answer.

No! Never! How can I believe in Jiraiya's words after all of this?!

There never will be such a thing as true peace! Not as long as we're

forced to live in this accursed world!

Peace is impossible! Impossible!

Well, then...

I'm gonna to break that curse one day. If there's truly such a thing as peace in this world,...

then somehow, I'll find it.

And I'll never give up!

[gasping]

You...

But that's...

Nagato? What's the matter?

Those words... it can't be...

That's right; you know them.

All of those words are taken right out of this book.

The very first novel that Pervy Sage ever wrote.

He was seriously trying to change the world with his message.

And in the back of it... he wrote about a student who helped provide him with inspiration.

It was you, Nagato.

But...

...the name of the hero in this novel...

His name is---

His name's Naruto!

Listen... My name is a precious heirloom that has been handed down to me by my master!

There's no way that I'm just gonna give up and dishonor my master's gift!

I will become Hokage!

And I will bring peace to the Hidden Rain. I will!

I'm asking you to believe in me!

Why should I?

How can you stand there and tell me that you will never change your mind?

Do you really think you will never stray from that ideal, no matter how much pain befalls you?

You think you will always believe in yourself? Can you guarantee it? How

can you possibly have that much faith that life won't change you?

There's still pain buried deep down inside of me.

And there's no telling what kind of pain I may face down the road...

But--

If I stop believing just because things get difficult... if the hero

in this book were to change who he is...

Then... it would become a whole different story. It sure wouldn't be the story our Master left behind.

And it wouldn't be about Naruto!

The thing is... I can't write books like our Master did.

And so... any sequel has to come from the life I live.

That's why no matter how much pain my own path brings, I'll keep walking.

Because that's who Naruto is!

Naruto Uzumaki... You truly believe he's worthy of all this?

He is the light. That's why we all can carry flowers of hope.

You bare your fangs at me, yet you wear that cloak.

You still care for the Akatsuki.

Yahiko was the one who founded the Akatsuki, not you.

The red clouds on these cloaks symbolize the unending wars that rained

blood down upon the Hidden Rain!

You merely jumped onto our bandwagon for your own purposes. These

cloaks are our legacy,... not yours.

And the Rinnegan is something awakened by Nagato, a shinobi of the Hidden Rain Village.

Again, it doesn't belong to you.

His eyes belong to this nation. They are this village's treasure!

You're mistaken on two points. Since you're about to die, I shall enlighten you.

I encouraged and pushed Yahiko to form the Akatsuki.

And...

I was the one who gave Nagato the Rinnegan.

[gasping]

Perhaps it would be more correct for me to ask for it back.

But never mind... In my opinion, you're just an ignorant little girl who knows nothing.

Except now... you know the location of Nagato's Rinnegan.

Once I capture you, I'll have my answer. Do not underestimate the visual prowess of the Uchiha!

She's trying to overpower me with numbers, hoping to catch me when I materialize.

Very well. I know she's got some plan up her sleeve. Bring it on!

There she is!

[struggling]

She mixed in Paper Bombs!

I'll take you with me to the afterlife.

More members have been killed in the Seventh Ward.

It's becoming a guerilla war zone.

We need to take measures now.

I'll go and scout it out in the afternoon.

No, Nagato, Rest awhile. You shouldn't push yourself so hard.

But, I-

No buts. Just rest. I will go.

Yahiko, please be careful.

I don't need to have a send-off. Just go and tend to Nagato's wounds instead.

From now on, you should save all your worrying for him.

He's the keystone of the Akatsuki!

He's the man who will change this nation and this world!

But the same can be said of you!

Every one of us is here because we respect and admire you... Nagato included!

But Nagato... is someone who will be the bridge that leads to peace.

My role is to make that happen. I am a pillar that will support that bridge.

Yahiko...

As usual,... this land continues to weep.

It endures pain.

I used to hate this land that's crying all the time.

But now, I want to save it... It's what I want with all my heart.

Hmm.

It's like the crybaby I was. I can't ignore it.

Yahiko!

Please, be careful...

It's Yahiko who'll be the bridge to peace. That is, his will itself will be.

Nagato...

We believe in Yahiko with all our heart!

Let's go, everyone!

Right!

I will be a pillar that supports two bridges. Yahiko and Nagato!

I didn't take you seriously enough. You are a former member of the Akatsuki, after all.

[panting]

It seems that you planned to blow the both of us up when I pulled you in. But you failed.

I was faster. I pulled the explosion away. Though I did get hit.

You were also saved. You ought to thank me.

So was that the last of your secret schemes?

Madara... I have a question...

What is it?

Do you want me to tell you why Nagato and I decided to betray you?

And why instead we put our faith in Naruto?

Not really. Besides, that's your problem.

Naruto is just a naive child chasing an immature dream.

I can see where Nagato might be swayed by the thought of true peace and hope... But you, Konan?

I realized something after meeting Naruto...

Him as well? You're taking him, too?

Yes. This Tendo Pain was created ú from the body of our dear friend Yahiko.

He's something that's very precious to us both.

Yahiko? I guess I understand, then...

What are you going to do now? I'd hate to think that you're going back to the Akatsuki.

No, I'm leaving the Akatsuki... Yahiko and Nagato... meant everything to me.

Yahiko's dream...

And then Nagato's dream...

Both of their dreams have been entrusted to you... You now embody those dreams.

Nagato chose to put his faith in you. So now I will do the same.

And we of the Hidden Rain Village, will all continue to pursue our dreams together with you.

[inhaling]

The name Naruto,... the guts to never give up,... and now... more pain.

They're the things I've inherited from my master and from my sibling student!

This time, I wish that you will be the blossom of hope that will never wilt away.

You are darkness.

And in a world without light, all that flowers do is wilt!

They both fought and died for their own beliefs.

Nagato will be the bridge to peace.

Yahiko's will itself...is the bridge to peace..

Their will shall not be extinguished!

If there's truly such a thing as peace in this world, I'll find it.

Naruto Uzumaki will be the one to carry on their will!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: The Bridge to Peace.

I shall be the pillar that supports Naruto!

"ROCK LEE'S SILLY CHRONICLES: PART 1"

[chuckling]

Lead, lead, lead--

That guy... he thinks he's so hot.

I am totally going to steal a base!

Lead...

Naruto, did you call me?

I said "lead," not Lee!

[chuckling] You're out.

[screaming]

[chuckling]

Huh. It seems that once again I have done something terribly wrong.
