Did you hear? Sai of the Hidden Leaf sealed away one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

Looks like you did well, Sai. I just hope we can keep morale up for the whole regiment.

Sir, the information on the Ninja Swordsmen we requested from HQ has arrived.

While the enemy has stopped all activity, we should take this opportunity to gather as much intel as we can.

It's just as I suspected. They're all quite fearsome fighters.

We need to be very careful with these two.

We'll be at a disadvantage in a group battle.

Huh?

Help!

Help me!

What's wrong?

Ah! It's these strings! They're controlling my body! Ahh-ahh!

Strings?

Ahhh!

(struggling grunts)

(painful groan)

(painful moans)

(sinister laughing)

He's crucifying them alive. And taking pleasure in their suffering.

(painful screams)

Stop!

Stop it!

Is this some kind of game for you?

(shocked gasp)

Ran!

You are unforgivable!

I feel sympathy and pain for the legends of past generations who are being forced to fight against

their will. But you...

You revel in killing.

I hate to think we're both called shinobi.

Hnnh! Stop being so full of yourself.

Who gave you permission to wield the Executioner's Blade!

That blade belongs to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

(painful grunt)

(shocked gasp)

An outsider wielding the Executioner's Blade?!

I don't like it one bit.

Back off! He's mine!

Even though they can't die...

...they don't even consider each other...

...when they make their brutal attacks!

I'm gonna kill you and take back the Executioner's Blade!

No, I will.

Stay back! I'll kill you if you get in my way!

(giggle)

I'm already dead!

(annoyed sigh)

Going up against these two alone is going to be rough, but...

It looks like you're backed up against a wall, buddy!

Severe...

...Leaf Hurricanes!

I'm Might Guy, the Hidden Leaf's Noble Blue Beast!

So sorry I'm late, Kakashi!

Guy, thanks.

Huh? You're the one who wanted us all to regroup because it was too dangerous to work separately in small

platoons! So why are you doing this by yourself?

And what's more! You're up against two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

I wanted to protect everyone, but I got in over my head.

I figured as much. Anyway, we should get her away from here, fast.

Yeah, thanks.

You know, it's really kind of creepy to see you being as grateful as this. But, still...

I guess you feel that way because you opponents are just that strong!

(sinister chuckling)

Where am I?

(gasp)

That man! He killed all my comrades!

I know. I'm sorry. Listen, we'll take care of the enemy. You go regroup with the main regiment.

But, the two of you!

We'll be fine. While we're fighting them, you're only going to get in the way.

Be careful.

Now then, how dare you treat our comrades like they're mere toys for you to play with!

Careful, Guy. That's Kushimaru Kuriarare, who wields the Long Blade "Nuibari", the Sewing

Needle, and Jinpachi Munashi, who wields the Explosive Blade, "Shibuki", the Splatter. One killed his

master and the other his brother, along with countless other cruel acts.

Yeah, and if you get in my way, I'll kill you, too!

(chuckling)

I guess you could call them the cold-blooded combo. We've got to stay focused.

That's no problem at all! You may call them the cold-blooded combo, but we're the comrade combo!

Oh...'kay.

And enemy's a match for the Hidden Leaf's invincible comrade combo!

(determined grunt)

They're full of openings to attack. They've underestimated my speed!

(attacking growl)

He takes big swings because of that gimmick sword, but...

(shocked gasp)

His Long Blade!

Guy, watch out!

Huh?

Ninja Art Long Blade! Stitching Spider!

(painful grunt)

(struggling grunts)

No! This thing won't break!

Ahhhghh!

Explosive Blade Jutsu!

Multiple Explosions of Death!

Guy!

Forget about me! Go on, get out of here!

It looks like you saved me again, Kakashi.

Earth Style! Multi Mud Wall!

I was far too naive. I'd read all the data on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but I never

expected them to take advantage of being reanimated so effectively.

Kakashi, did they...

Yeah, they got my eye. I think it's only temporary, but still, this is bad.

Two of the reanimated Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are our enemies, and we're both in bad shape.

It certainly doesn't look too good for us.

Guy...

It's okay. I've survived a lot of tough situations like this one before.

And there's something I think of every time.

Three kunai knives and one paper bomb. That's all we have left.

And not only that, but the Hidden Stone's elite have us completely surrounded outside.

Yeah, they're sure to attack us first thing in the morning.

But, guys! There's no need for us to worry! Even if we're short on Ninja Tools, I still

have my two fists! All we have to do is break through the enemy lines!

Guy, give it a rest. Your overconfidence is what got us stuck here in the first place!

Did you forget already?! Haven't you learned?! Don't do anything on your own!

Why are you being such a wet blanket?!

I say that we just make it our next rival challenge to see which one of us is able to break through the

enemy lines before the other one!

Shinobi who defy orders are scum!

I am your captain! If you can't follow my orders, it's time for you to quit being a shinobi!

I-I just don't want that to ever happen again.

Kakashi... Are you okay?

That's right! Follow me!

Don't worry, guys. I'll be a decoy.

If I draw the enemy off, you'll have a greater chance of escaping.

I'm Might Guy, the Noble Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf! I don't die that easily!

(painful grunt)

I'm not finished yet!

Agh!

No, not yet! I need to buy more time until dawn!

(sinister chuckling)

Sorry, Kakashi. I let you down. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm not suited to be a shinobi.

Kakashi!

We'll talk later! Let's just get out of here for now!

I'm all out of chakra. I can't use any more big techniques.

Why did you come, Kakashi?

Because you defied my orders.

I'm not worthy of being a shinobi, am I?

No...

In the Shinobi World, orders are absolute. But you defied orders to save the life of

your friends. And, well, if I couldn't tell the difference, I'd be a failure as a captain.

You mean...

Besides which, I think that your plan actually could have succeeded. I mean, we've been able to

draw the enemy away, after all. Rin should have regrouped with the main squad by now.

So all that's left...

I have to take care of him.

This is not good, Guy!

Stone Shinobi use jutsu formulas that cover a wide area.

Wait! I thought you told me that you ran out of chakra!

(powerful yell)

Chidori!

He cut through lightning with Chidori? But I thought that he was all out of chakra!

You all right, Kakashi?

It's strange. I thought I was all out of chakra, but then... when I thought about saving my friends,

it came out of nowhere.

(shocked gasps)

I'll tell you what, why don't you rest up a bit. I'll handle these guys.

But you can't run on those legs, let alone fight.

If I can't use my legs, I'll use my arms. If I can't use those, I'll use my

hands or mouth!

I'll struggle all the way right until the bitter end to save my friends.

Just like you did now to save me!

Friends, huh?

You can't see right now, so don't try to push yourself, Kakashi!

If I can't see. I'll sense things with sound. Or I'll use smell, or even my skin!

I'll struggle all the way right until the bitter end to save my friends!

So you remember that time, too, huh? All right, then, let's go!

Yeah!

C'mon! Bring it on!

(annoyed grunt)

(swinging grunts)

(attacking grunts)

(throwing grunt)

Hm?

(attack yell)

All right, let's do this!

Don't underestimate me!

Ahhhghh!

Hnnh! Well, it seems that repeating our rival challenge wasn't actually a waste of time, after all.

Hm?

Even if I can't see you, I know exactly where you are!

And by matching your movements, I can tell where the enemy is! It's like I can see.

Move it!

You move! Or better yet, disappear!

That's it! I've had it! I'm going to take care of you first!

You don't think of your comrades as comrades.

So in reality, you two were never a match for us.

Just shut up!

(forceful grunt)

Substitution Jutsu?

(shocked gasp)

(attacking grunt)

You idiot! Now I can't dodge!

(painful grunt)

(painful grunt)

Did we do it?

Ugh! Damn it!

I'm completely done with this stupid fight! Now you're really going to get it!

Watch out, Kakashi! Get back!

I'm going to use my Explosive Blade to blow up this whole area!

Hey! We may be immortal, but if you do that, we'll die!

Maybe, but we won't know until we try it!

Shadow Paralysis Jutsu!

What! Hey, I can't move!

Captain Kakashi!

Don't worry! I've brought the Sealing Team with me!

Hm. So you're able to see once again, huh, Kakashi?

Yeah...

Get these two sealed away quickly!

Yes, sir!

I just knew it! I knew you'd be able to avenge their horrible deeds!

Retreat!

(shocked gasps)

Huh?

You made it just in time, Guy and Kakashi!

When a shinobi takes the power that's at his command and uses it for his friends' sake rather

than for himself, his power becomes multiplied beyond belief.

That's the lesson that I learned on that day long ago.

I'm able to produce unfathomable power when it comes to my friends. It's strange...

Yeah...that's right.

I think that this war is helping everyone realize that very thing.

All right, come on! We'd better go look for the other platoons now.

I agree.

We'll need everyone's help!

Yeah!

Ameyuri Ringo...

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. She wields the Lightning Blade, "Kiba", the Fang.

Who is this Ameyuri Ringo, anyway?

Stop hiding! Isn't there anyone here at all who can send shockwaves through my heart?!

Ah ha! At last, someone who isn't afraid to face me!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Lightning Blade: Ameyuri Ringo!"

And I won't let you get away!
