Now's my chance!

Damn it, that guy is fast! No doubt about it!

Huh!

But...

I'll try again!

They're so fast, I can't track them!

Huh?

Do you really think you can defeat me with your Lariat?!

[coughing]

Oh, no! Octopops!

If you have time to worry, worry about yourself!

Bee?! Why are you doing this?!

Don't you get it yet, Bro? Ya hear me? Fool, ya fool!

Octopops! Thanks, I owe you one!

Now I can get past the Raikage.

[growling]

[grunting]

Huh?!

[grunting]

Hokage! Get in here and help me!

Lady Tsunade?

I won't give up!

Naruto, you don't have to protect me! Stop, already!

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

Heh, don't worry about me!

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 gonna die!

Huh!

[gasping]

Uh!

Granny!

Hokage! You'd better have a real good excuse for this course of action!

"Two Suns"

Hokage! You'd better have a real good excuse for taking this course of action!

Look, even if you were to kill Naruto. And you buy us some time until Nine Tails comes back to life,

I doubt the next Jinchuriki will be able to control Nine Tail's power to this degree!

Since we don't have any idea which way this war will go, let's use all the weapons we've

got... including the Jinchuriki!

That's why I'll let Naruto pass!

Nice excuse! I mean, nice explanation! Now you're talking!

Now, that's the Granny Hokage that I remember. The one who won't let anyone stop her!

Hokage. Who's the one that's just making arbitrary decisions now?!

You're all fools.

Where is there any evidence that Naruto will succeed?

I already told you your Lariat won't work against me!

Listen, Bro... you may be Raikage, but since the beginning, you've underestimated my power,

fool, ya fool!

No one ever expected the Third Raikage to die.

Hey, where's my Bro? Over there? Over there?

All of a sudden, he just started punching his way out through the wall.

There's gonna be a bunch of holes in walls now... Follow them, and you should be able to find him.

Thanks, will do. I'll look for Bro beyond the walls I go through.

It'll be okay, just hang in there, Bro. From today on, you're the Raikage, yo.

I know that!

We're right in the middle of a war!

I will protect this village and nation to the very end! As my old man wanted!

Bee...

You will go to Unraikyo, the Storm Cloud Ravine, and work on your Tailed Beast Bomb.

You will not be engaging the enemy.

What?

Yo, but my Lariat, that's where it's at-

I don't need your Lariat anymore!

Even if the enemy invades, you'll stay in the village and use your long-range Tailed Beast

Bomb to get them.

All right?! You are never to leave the village again! Got it?!

Bee, both you and Naruto are precious Jinchuriki! The two of you are very special to your villages

and your nations.

And that's the reason why I can't let either of you pass!

No matter how powerful you two are,... don't forget that the Akatsuki, our enemy, has already

taken down and sealed away all the other Jinchuriki!

Just trust me, we ain't gonna lose, Naruto and me.

And about that I'll happily give you my personal guarantee.

So be it, then! Let's put it to the test!

Your Lariat against mine! We'll see who's stronger!

Bee, we still have a long way to go before the Double Lariat is where it needs to be.

I'm still toning down my strength to match yours. You're going to have to get stronger!

I'm gonna surpass you someday, you'll see! And on that day, I will be carefree!

That sounds ideal to me. And I'll do it, too, you'll see! Easy as one-two-three! 'Cause

taking you down is my fantasy!

No way!

[grunting]

The thing is, being Jinchuriki isn't our only power source...

We possess something that's even stronger fundamentally.

I'll tell you all the details. You know your words to me, and me alone, back before I

received the Eight Tails

They'll keep me strong, no matter what happens, even when all else fails.

Hmm...

It can be anything.

You'll know it when you find it. Because it will keep you strong.

So make sure that Bee finds it.

All right...

You know, Bee, you really are very special to me!

You and I are the ultimate tag team, after all!

You're talking about... those words I said to you in front of the Waterfall of Truth?

You're finally getting it, huh? So you're not a fool, ya fool?

Preaching truth at you from above is my fantasy. The fantasy is now a reality, oh-yay!

White Zetsu uses a Transformation Jutsu that can even mimic chakra.

Is there a way to see through such a jutsu?

[groaning]

Nothing helpful in these papers either...

Don't you think that we should relay this intel to Lord Raikage and Lady Hokage?

Not yet. The two of them decided to leave me in charge here, so I'll handle this situation.

Besides, we don't want to bother them. They need to concentrate on stopping Naruto and Lord Bee.

But that's the thing... You see, Lady Tsunade has already-

I'm looking at new data right now!

It's imperative that I come up with a solution right away! So please, let me focus.

It's true that you are very special to me, Bee.

And I do believe we're the ultimate tag team. I said that to you, you're correct.

But just those simple words are really going to

be enough to keep you strong all through the battle that you'd face?

I don't live and fight just for the village and nation. I live and fight for you, too, Bro!

You're still way too overprotective. You gotta let me go.

Don't lose faith in me. You gotta trust in my power, you know?

The world is dark and full of pain... when you're a Jinchuriki.

But I learned you can't give up, you gotta fight

free. You gotta find a light that can let yourself see.

Tailed Beasts are not the only source of our power.

What we were before the Tailed Beasts helps in our weakest hour.

Our true selves shine like the sun, they're second to none.

Our true strength means we will never have to run.

Only I could control the Eight Tails, only I could win that fight.

Naruto's got the same light inside as me, all right?

But instead of only one, that boy's rocking two suns' light!

Huh?

Yeah, you got that right. It really is like the sun, and I'm rocking two of them!

Naruto Uzumaki.

What are these two suns that you and Bee have spoken of?

I'm talking about my mom and my dad!

Your mother and father?

You mean the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki?

You're talking about people who died right after you were born! You were merely an infant!

Something must have happened during his training to control the Nine Tails' chakra.

Back when Naruto battled Pain, he started transforming into Nine Tails. Minato had put his

essence into the seal's jutsu formula. He appeared and saved Naruto.

I knew he wouldn't go down without a fight!

When I was trying to control Nine Tails' power...

My Dad made sure that I finally got to meet my mom.

Dad said he'd woven Mom's chakra into the seal. She was able to hang out with me while I undid the

Nine Tails' seal.

He did it all for me!

The Fourth Hokage had studied the unique Sealing Jutsu developed by the Uzumaki Clan...

And Kushina's chakra and life force were powerful, without question. It is possible.

As I thought!

When mom helped me get this power, she told me absolutely everything.

One time, long ago, dad fought this guy in a mask.

And during that battle... he learned two things.

The first thing he discovered... was that this masked guy was gonna try to destroy the future.

And the other thing he learned... was that the only one who could stop the masked man was me.

But only if I had the Nine Tails' power under control.

Masked man... meaning Madara?

So Madara did cause that Nine Tails' incident was Madara's doing after all?

Then this is why Minato sealed Nine Tails inside Naruto but left a key to unlock it.

I knew he had to have a reason. Minato never did anything that was unnecessary.

He must have concluded that this masked man, Madara, posed an enormous threat to us... all of us.

And that only someone with Nine Tails' power under his control could defeat this enemy.

So he chose Naruto.

Minato told you? And he entrusted everything to you, is that it?

He knew he wasn't the one fated to be the savior?

I don't know if Dad ever considered himself to be a savior or not.

But then... I remember that my master had always told me...

My Dad was a Child of Prophecy.

Do you remember what I said to you earlier? That so-called Savior is now dead.

What else could you call that outcome except a failure?

Yeah, you're right. My dad died. Mom, too.

He and my mom died protecting the Hidden Leaf from the enemy and

the Nine-Tailed Fox! They died protecting me!

It only lasted a moment. But they gave me something.

Both of them gave me the knowledge that what I'm capable of is whatever I believe I can do!

They entrusted me to be the savior of the world!

Raikage!

If you take down Naruto to delay our enemy's plans, Madara will

definitely take the Nine Tails next time.

And the world will come to an end!

Only Naruto can control the Nine Tails' power. Just as Minato thought he would!

We need to let Naruto go. That way, he can protect the shinobi.

I'm going to bet on Naruto! So what about you?

Yo, I gotta second her, fool, ya fool!

Like you always said... I'm a big fool, too!

You see, my good friend Naruto here is just as foolish as me. You agree?

Right now, you need some big fools for us to succeed.

Fools who don't care at all, how strong or tall the wall. Yeah!

[grunting]

Bro's at top speed, no one's faster! I think he's gonna kill Naruto! What a disaster!

Just like always, you're so stubborn.

But you're gonna have to go through me, first!

I can't let Granny get involved! This is my fight!

Naruto, this ends now!

Way too many people have put their faith in me for me to let them down!

No! I cannot fail!

Anyway, I've got my own responsibilities.

I cannot fail now.

He dodged it?! No way, fool, ya fool! He really is!

Just like the Yellow Flash of the Leaf!

Like you just said, Raikage...

If I fail,... then I'm not a savior.

I cannot fail now.

I'm my father's son!

He taught me to be the savior, so that's what I'll be!

My attack was simply a test. I wanted to gauge your abilities and conviction.

You're only the second to have ever outrun my fastest punch.

So it appears... that we have a savior after all.

Now go forth!

Yes, sir!

This really is the only way.

According to this data, Naruto can sense hostility when in Nine Tails Chakra Mode.

He'll be able to see through White Zetsu's transformation jutsu.

In addition, we can have Naruto create Shadow Clones To counter White

Zetsu on every battlefield at once.

But if we delay any longer, then I'm afraid there will be no chance of turning back.

But there's one big problem...

This is a war in large part to protect Naruto, a Jinchuriki.

So if we throw him into battle like that... we'd be getting our priorities backward.

I really don't think that Lord Raikage would ever allow us to use such a strategy.

Yes... That's true.

Well...

That's the thing. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

The long night is finally coming to an end.

They should be able to use their eyes now.

Six new Pains. All Jinchuriki.

I've just added a little something.

Attacking the Blunt Blade Helmet Splitter, Kabutowari, has no effect!

Trying to block me is meaningless, too! This next attack will end you!

Not yet! I hope you don't think this will be over so soon.

There's no way to block the Blunt Blade Helmet Splitter!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Helmet Splitter: Jinin Akebino!"

Who said anything about blocking?!
