Who are you aiming at?!

What can we do?! You're too fast for our attacks!

[groan]

I'll say it again. I use Lightning Style.

And when I arm myself with Lightning Style..

my speed and defensive power exceed the limits that my body normally puts on them.

So unless you attack with Wind Style, you'll never be able to stop me.

But even with Wind Style, we can't land a blow!

No... wait a second.

Wind Unit! Attack Formation C!

[determined grunt]

Let's go!

[grunt] Instead of doing it quietly, she announces exactly how they're going to attack!

Now! Group Wind Style Jutsu!

Wind Style! Casting Net!

A wide-range jutsu designed to overtake my speed..

Splendid move.

[pained groan]

Yes! Now quickly, everyone surround him!

[gasp]

[frustrated groan]

"Paradox"

[heavy breathing]

No matter how many times we attack, there's no effect!

We haven't inflicted any damage!

Our only choice is to batter him with a consecutive, top speed Blade Dance!

Huh?

That you, Dodai?

Yes.

The Third Lord Raikage was blessed not only with speed and power but also extraordinary physical resilience.

Even long distance Wind Style attacks, the only ones that can reach him, cannot deal him a decisive blow.

We need a more powerful Wind Style User.

Well, I'm not a half bad Wind Style user myself, you know...

So how did he actually die, anyway?

In order to let his people get away, he used himself as a decoy and faced ten thousand of the enemy alone.

It's said that he lasted for three days and three nights to buy his comrades enough time.

[gulp]

Now I need him to buy me some time...

..so that at last I can finish up summoning him. I guess I'll take over.

[groan]

Honestly, in the Allied Forces, there isn't a stronger Wind Style User than me.

Yeah, there is!

[stunned gasp]

[shocked gasp]

And that would be me!

Wait?! Is that Naruto?! What is he doing here?

That feels like Wind Style jutsu! Is it a new Rasengan? It just might work, if it hits!

[shocked grunt]

No, that still isn't good enough! Not with his Cloak of Lightning.

Yeah, I know!

Raikage are always super fast!

So that's what he was trying to do!

It's no use!

He dodged it again!

We gotta distract him or we'll never hit him!

Huh?

Okay! When it comes back.

This close up.

It's gotta hit!

[groans]

That Wind Style is strong! This could actually work!

Sealing Unit! Hurry up! Move in!

Right!

Yes!

Huh?

What?! How?!

My Lord Third, you're so strong that, frankly, it's frightening!

No way! Rasen Shuriken didn't work?!

The look in Lord Raikage's eyes changed a moment ago.

It appears that he's been completely taken over.

Wait, is that?!

All of you men, move back from Lord Raikage now! And you Earth Style shinobi, get a wall up immediately!

Everyone, link up!

All right! Together! Earth Style: Great Mud Wall!

Disperse!

With me, Naruto!

[yanked grunt]

[impact grunt]

Lava Style: Rubber Wall!

But why?

Lord Third's most powerful ninjutsu, the Piercing Four-Fingered Thrust of Hell!

He pools Lightning chakra into his fingertips.

This strike complements Lightning Style just perfectly.

Like Kakashi Sensei's Lightning Blade and Sasuke's Chidori.

Everyone, get as far away as possible, right now!

No way! Since we know where he's gonna come through, we should all focus on that spot!

Everyone, En garde!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a little payback for all of the times we missed that guy before now!

Stop! Listen to what the Cloud Shinobi told you!

[groans]

[shocked groan]

[charging yells]

[attack yells]

No.

Those damned fools!

Huh?

[pained yell]

Huh?

He's switched to the Three Fingered Assault!

What is it with that jutsu, anyway?! It's way too strong!

He took down dozens by himself in an instant!

The fewer the fingers he uses, the more focused the energy, and thus the Thrust of Hell gets more powerful!

It's the Third Lord's Invincible Spear!

And he can handle it because his Lightning Style also makes his body impenetrable. It's his ultimate shield.

Seriously, is that old man even human?!

It's said he's the only shinobi to have gone head to head with a Tailed Beast unarmored and unarmed.

Wow...

Raikage are nothing short of awesome!

Huh?

Huh?

What is it?

So, what's up with that?

Up with what?

Just look! That, there!

The scar on his chest! If he's as impenetrable as you say he is, then how'd he get that?

He didn't even flinch against my Rasen Shuriken!

Oh, that.

He was wounded when he stopped Eight Tails, who was on a rampage.

Lord Third fought him by himself to protect the Cloud.

You mean the Eight Tails hurt him?!

He stated that it was the most shameful moment of his whole life.

But other than saying that, he never spoke of it any further at all.

Not even Lord Fourth knows the details.

Hmm..

Okay, I get that ordinary attacks won't affect him. But if he got injured fighting the Eight Tails...

And the Eight Tails' strongest jutsu is...

Speaking of Eight Tails!

Tailed Beast Bomb!

[grunt]

What should we do now, Lady Temari?!

I mean, if that hero Naruto couldn't even take him down...

What? Naruto is here?!

The hero of the Hidden Leaf village?

Where? Which shinobi is he? I want to get a good look at him!

Yukata! Open your eyes, would you?!

Naruto's the one who released that flashy Wind Style jutsu just now!

What?! Seriously?! But how can that be?! He's just about the same age as the two of us!

Yeah, that's right!

He may be young, but he still managed to defeat Pain of the Akatsuki!

But then how can we defeat an enemy that even the hero of the Hidden Leaf village can't?

What do you think I'm trying to figure out right now?!

Except I can't 'cause you're bothering me with all your yammering!

You aren't short range Wind Style users! So just get back to where it's safe!

Yes, Ma'am!

[sigh]

What are we going to do?

Even Naruto's Rasengan couldn't inflict any damage. How can we fight this Raikage?

We'll have to consider retreating. What a nuisance these Kage are! Even one who's all by himself.

This is our best chance to stop him since he's separated from the others.

If we retreat and let him rejoin them, it will only get worse for us.

What do we do? What do we do?!

Wait. What is this?

Does Naruto have another jutsu?

[gasp] This is a Tailed Beast Bomb just like Eight Tails!

I didn't think it was possible for a Jinchuriki in human form to handle such a heavy chakra sphere!

[straining]

[straining harder]

[straining even harder]

[pained yells]

[grunt]

It isn't possible. As I suspected.

What happened just now?!

[grunt] Damn it!

I still can't do it yet!

His chakra cloak has dissipated! He can't do it!

Lady Temari! The enemy's broken through our ranks. Many of our forces were injured!

Get the wounded treated! Send them to the Medical Teams!

And everyone else is to maintain a standby position at a distance!

[pained yells]

Are you all right? Hang on!

Hey, bendy guy!

I gotta talk to Octopops and Eight Tails now! But how can I get in contact with them?!

You can go through the Comm Corps and then have Intel Unit Captain Inoichi Yamanaka connect you with Lord Bee.

I gotta go look for a Comm Corps shinobi?!

You're in luck.

Why's that?

Because I am a Comm Corps shinobi!

Sweet!

Naruto! Watch out!

[yell]

He's withdrawn his Three Fingered Assault! He's going to just knock us out!!

Lava Style: Rubber Sphere!

Hmm? Lord Dodai of the Hidden Cloud! What do you need?

Naruto wants to talk to Lord Bee and Eight Tails.

Can you arrange that as quickly as possible?

While the Third Raikage is still chasing after the dummy Rubber Ball!

He made it look like he has me inside that ball, but he pulled me out and hid me behind a boulder!

Bendy Guy sure thinks fast!

Thanks for that, Bendy Guy! Now I'll have time to talk to Octopops for a bit!

Lord Third is probably going to catch on right away!

So don't count on having too much time to converse!

Right.

Naruto, let me get this straight: you want to talk to Bee and Eight Tails?

But aren't you with them? You were supposed to be working together!

Not right now, we're not. And besides- Look, never mind!

Please, just get me in touch with them quickly. I don't have any time to waste!

Naruto's gone on ahead! Hurry up and finish your business! It's taking forever!

The urge to pee is beyond one's control, y'see?

Huh?

Octopops! It's me, Naruto! There's something I want to ask Eight Tails directly!

Can you switch with him and put him on for me?

Relieving oneself takes concentration, so right now let me focus on my urination.

This just isn't the time for your kind of interrogation.

I've switched places, Naruto! What's going on? You seem to be in a hurry!

Hey, Eight Tails! You've battled the Third Raikage before, right?

Yeah, a long time ago. He was really strong and could take some serious punishment.

Once, he even chopped off all of my tails with his move, the One Fingered Assault.

So how did you manage to give Grampa Raikage that scar on his chest?

Huh?! Oh with my Tailed Beast bomb, I think? Maybe. Or, maybe not.

We both collapsed forward, completely spent yet still poised to attack. I don't remember much beyond that.

Could it be?

Thanks, Eight Tails!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

What?! This is different than before!

Grampa Raikage is headed here now. I can sense him.

You just stay out of the way, Bendy Guy! There's something that I want to try out.

I understand.

Rasengan!

Everyone!

Stay out of this fight! And Sealing Corps, stand by!

Yes, sir!

I don't know what Naruto means to do, but that's an ordinary Rasengan! Is that going to be enough?

His Invincible Spear will pierce through Naruto's arms and legs without a doubt. I'll have him brought back to me half dead.

Sage Mode: Frog Kumite! With this, I can sense danger over a wider range.

And it's faster. Now I just need to get out of the way!

I can aim right for his arm!

It worked! t's just like I thought it would!

I see, so that scar on his chest.. that's how it happened!

[victory grunt]

Yes, we did it!

[cheering,] Yeah, all right! Nice work, Naruto!

Yeah!

That was quite a sharp move.

When I talked with him, the EIght Tails told me that when he fought against the Third Raikage,

..both of them fell forward, ready to attack.

I just figured he must have gotten the scar by stabbing himself in the chest with his own move.

That's why he was always so embarrassed about it.

A shinobi with an invincible spear and an impenetrable shield. It certainly does pose a paradox.

I guess this shows that Lord Third's spear is more powerful.

Mhm.

You know, I'd say the shinobi who has the best shield is now probably Gaara!

In my heart, I always knew you'd would become Tsuchikage one day.

But just look at you now! You're nothing more than a stubborn old fool with a bad back!

I'll admit that punch had some real power to it, but you overdid it and put yourself out of commission!

Hey, listen! Hurry up and escape, would ya?!

This is the Hozuki Clan's Water Gun Jutsu!

[heavy breathing]

You were cooperative until just now! What, have you decided to help the enemy?

I am a former Kage, after all. And actually, I am still helping you out, only in a different way.

Which way is that, exactly?!

If you can't beat me using all of your abilities, then you're worse off than me you old fool!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Terror: The Steam Imp"

You'll never win against the enemy boss this way!
