Captain Kakashi.

What's the intel on the enemy?

There aren't any signs of life anywhere, including from the enemy.

The battlefield's completely quiet.

I wonder what's going on. I seriously doubt that they'd just give up the fight.

Psychological warfare is key to winning a shinobi battle.

I really don't like doing exactly what the enemy wants us to dÄ6

... but we should use this as a chance to rest.

All right, everyone, rest up! Take time to recover your chakra!

However... Stay on your guard! We'll keep scouting the area every half an hour!

We must make sure we're ready to begin fighting again at a moment's notice! Okay! That's all!

Guy, you should rest a little, too.

Ha! Get real, Kakashi! You really think I could sleep at a time like this?!

I understand how you feel, but...

Captain Kakashi.

We finally received the item from Headquarters.

Good.

This jutsu... it really is unforgivable.

Sai, next up we'll use the Foundation's Sealing Jutsu.

So follow me!

But Kakashi, I haven't mastered that jutsu yet.

Isn't it true that Danzo valued you very highly, Sai?

You don't have to suppress your emotions anymore!

Hmm--

Hey, Sai. Sorry to bother you while you're resting...

It's okay.

This just arrived from headquarters.

You need this for your Sealing Jutsu, don't you?

Mmm.

Lee.

[panicking]

Is it the enemy?!

Well, looks like you can still fight.

Of course, sir! Because I, Rock Lee, the Blue Beast of the Leaf, do not

know the meaning of the word "exhaustion!"

I want you to be Sai's bodyguard.

He won't be able to defend himself well while he's preparing his Sealing Jutsu.

Leave it to me, sir!

I will risk my life to protect him!

[grunting]

Better get to it, Sai.

Yes, sir.

Okay! I look forward to this!

Do not worry one bit, Sai. No matter who the foe may be...

I will not let them lay a single finger on you!

Lee...

Sai!

It is okay! You can skip the formalities and call me by a nickname the same

way you do with Naruto and Sakura!

Listen, Lee. Could you leave me alone for a while?

Yes, I understand! Just call me right away if something happens!

Sorry... But do you have a moment, Kakashi Sensei?

Sure, what is it?

It is concerning Sai's Sealing Jutsu.

Do you think it would be possible for you to tell me a little bit more about it?

Yeah, I guess so.

I've just got to figure out where I should start.

You know that he used to be a member of the Foundation, right?

I suppose that it all got started back when Orochimaru attacked the

Hidden Leaf Village during your chunin exams.

Sai, it is imperative that you learn and become proficient with this Sealing Jutsu.

Yes, sir.

The Third Hokage was unparalleled in his use of jutsu.

But when Orochimaru used the Reanimation Jutsu to bring back the First and Second Hokage, the Third

Hokage had to seal them away with the Reaper Death Seal...

...and sacrificed his life in doing so.

In order for things to work in our favor, the Foundation needs to

possess a powerful Sealing Jutsu without that limitation.

But... can I actually master a Sealing Jutsu that will work against

someone as powerful as Orochimaru?

I believe that you can.

Uh!

You've been taught that emotions merely hinder a shinobi, isn't that right?

Yes.

All of the feelings that you've suppressed have created a massive

reservoir of energy somewhere deep inside your heart.

And by releasing that pent-up emotional energy, you will be

able to imbue your Sealing Jutsu with great power.

But be careful...

Releasing your emotions can make you susceptible to the effects of your

negative feelings. And that can be very dangerous.

"The Helmet Splitter: Jinin Akebino!"

Shift change.

Right.

So how's everything going?

Nothing's changed.

It's morning and the enemy still hasn't shown their faces. It sure is quiet.

It feels like the calm before the storm.

I hope it means that this whole thing is gonna be over soon, know what I'm--

They're here! The enemy's attacking!

They're here.

Over here!

He ran away?!

[screaming]

Damn it! Where is he?!

Huh?!

Hey... What just happened....? Where'd they all go?!

[grunting]

They're here. This way!

[grunting]

It appears that even though they're cornered, they aren't gonna fight us.

The enemy's moved their weaker forces in.

It seems that their main tactic is going to be guerrilla warfare.

They want us to chase these targets and get split up so they can pick us off one by one.

I hate to admit it, but they wanted us to become overconfident after defeating Zabuza.

Now what? Things are going downhill fast.

We need to regroup our forces. Send a message out to each team!

Tell them to join up with at least two other teams and stick together!

Okay, you got it! What are you gonna do?!

I'm worried about the squads behind us. If I were the enemy, I'd use

this confusion to cut off our support squads.

The rear guards are battle-hardened... and they have the restraints

and seals to fight against the Reanimation Jutsu.

Well... I don't really understand. I'll just leave it to you!

All right, you heard him, right?! Send a message to all the teams! Do not pursue the enemy if you see them.

Tell them to stick together and that we'll destroy the enemy one at a time!

Yes, sir!

Guy Sensei! Sorry I am late!

Forget it.

Sai! Lee!

Perfect timing. Follow me! We're going to prepare a seal!

Sir!

You can count on me!

We won't let them dictate how this war goes!

So, Sai... it takes some time for you to prepare your Sealing Jutsu, is that correct?

How do you know that?

It was quite simple. I just asked Kakashi Sensei whether you need to stop

and concentrate in order to use emotional energy.

I will protect you, however long it may take!

Earth Style! Mud Wall!

Ensui, prepare your Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!

You got it!

Huh?!

[yelling]

I found ya.

[gasping]

One more time!

[gasping]

Defending yourself against Kabutowari...

...the Blunt Blade Helmet Splitter, is utterly meaningless!

[gasping]

[grunting]

[gasping]

Get in formation, now!

Trying to block me is meaningless, too!

It seems you fools still don't understand!

[gasping]

My next attack will end you!

Not yet!

Wait, is that...?

Captain Kakashi!

I hope you don't think that this will be over so soon.

All right... You should begin, Sai!

I agree.

I am very eager to see what it is like! Show me what your Sealing Jutsu can do!

Mm!

But be careful...

Releasing your emotions can make you susceptible to the effects of your

negative feelings. And that can be very dangerous.

I've made up my mind.

But... I've been told to suppress my emotions ever since I was a child.

Is it really possible for me master this Sealing Jutsu?

And more importantly,... can I overcome this sense of fear I have when I let my emotions go?

[grunting]

You've succumbed to your negative feelings. They're consuming you.

[coughing]

[gasping]

You're back now.

Lord Danzo, what...

What happened...?

You must assimilate the mass of negative feelings you have pent up within

you and train carefully to use them.

This jutsu is the reason why I raised all of you from the time you were young.

Keep going until you gain complete control over your emotions.

Learn to release all your negative feelings. You have to master them, Sai!

I couldn't suppress my emotions that time.

Will I really be able to suppress them any better now?

If anything... it seems to be even harder!

But...

I have to do this!

So there's still someone left in this world who's at least a little bit of a challenge.

Even if you are one of the Seven Ninja Swords Men of the Mist, we won't let you win this fight so easily.

[chuckling]

I'll silence you!

That eye looks dangerous. But...

If I can simply thrust my sword toward you, then I'll win!

There is no way to block the helmet splitter!

Who said anything about blocking?

Uh!

Your defense is weak!

That's one down...

[cheering]

Ensui!

Yes, sir!

Hold him with Shadow Paralysis until the Sealing Jutsu is ready to go.

Right! Understood!

The rest of you will meet up with the squad in front. You'll all follow me.

Now let's go!

Shadow Stitching Jutsu!

Ah, I see. That is the same kind of Secret Ninjutsu as Shikamaru's.

It's just a stopgap measure. If I release my jutsu, he'll be free.

So you guys need to seal him away as soon as possible.

Impossible.

Run away, little brother. We're indestructible.

There's no way you can win!

Shin. Brother...

Brother! Snap out of it!

Uh--

Now. Secret Black Technique! Salamander!

Brother!

[struggling]

You okay?

I heard it was difficult, but he looks like he is suffering greatly!

Are you all right, Sai?

Lee...

Incoming!

An Explosive Style User!

Not good!

Sai!

Hurry up with the seal! Lee can't handle this alone. I need to go back him up!

There is no reason to worry!

I will not forgive the Akatsuki! They are controlling the dead with the Reanimation Jutsu.

And that makes me seriously angry! Is there any reason I would let myself lose this fight?

No way! There is not!

[yelling]

[grunting]

[grunting]

How...? I don't sense any negative feelings coming from Lee as a result of his anger.

Why? Why doesn't anger come with negative feelings for him?

[yelling]

This is bad!

How dare you!

How dare you harm my friend! You will not get away with that!

The enemy is on the move now. We should head out so we can regroup with the main company!

Sai... If there is anything I can do, please let me know!

I will do whatever I can!

'Cause I am your friend!

I see. Then the origin of Lee's anger is found in his strong feelings for his friends.

But... that will not work for me...

No...! I'm different from how I was back then...

I have friends now. And...

What's more, I also have strong feelings towards those friends.

Uh!

A sealing jutsu that becomes more powerful when I release my emotions.

But those emotions don't have to be negative ones that come from anger or sorrow!

[yelling]

Quick, Sai!

Lee!

I realized something... I never gave you a nickname...

But once this war is over, I'll think of one.

Now, Sai! Do it!

Sealing Jutsu.

Crouched Tiger Bullet.

[roaring]

[roaring]

Okay! Got him!

Return!

[grunting]

[struggling]

No matter what defense.

Uh!

Wait! No, don't go after him!

Sai!

[chuckling]

Hm.

What a pathetic sight, Maki! You're actually protecting a Mist Shinobi!

She's my comrade.

Your comrade?! What are you talking about?! She's from the Bloody Mist. They kill their own kind!

We're part of the Allied Shinobi Forces!

An alliance? Whatever, you idiots!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: User of the Scorch Style: Pakura of the Sand!

You'd sacrifice yourself for an enemy shinobi?!
