Original subtitles

I didn't expect to lose this many of my pawns.

And retrieving unique corpses turned out to be a failure.

So then, what's my next move?

Reanimation Jutsu? It's a summoning?

Yes that's right.

The Second Hokage is who originally developed it.

But then he sealed it away as a Forbidden Jutsu.

Such a waste...

So I set about restoring it.

You're taken with someone else's jutsu, Lord Orochimaru?

It's quite remarkable.

Naturally, I've made a few improvements.

As you can see...

There's still much more room for refinement, though.

I need more personal information material.

Hm? Personal information material?

And what does that mean?

Why, flesh and blood of course, ideally from legendary shinobi.

Now, I've collected what materials I could.

But from this point on, I want you to help me, Kabuto.

I will find a way to perfect this jutsu.

I understand, Lord Orochimaru.

Maybe it's time for me to stir things up a bit on the battlefield.

[exhausted sigh]

Are those guys allies?

They are!

Hey!

So, it's a Sealed Reanimation huh?

That's right.

Inside's Toroi, the Cloud's Magnet Style user.

I'm amazed that you two guys could seal him.

Oh no, actually, Naruto showed up and helped us out big time!

A renowned shinobi controlled by the Reanimation Jutsu.

He must be turning in his grave.

A long time ago, my dad went on a mission with Toroi and was killed.

What? Seriously?

I'm guessing that burden was just too much for my father.

Hey, look there.

A Reanimated Ninja!

There's still another one left!

We gotta seal him fast!

Summoning Jutsu.

What is this?

It's a huge ambush, that's what it is!

Contact HQ for reinforcements!

Right!

To think I'd have to resort to sending you guys out on the battlefield.

Our orders, are to retrieve the sealed Reanimated Ninja.

Hey, don't order me around! I won't listen to a Leaf Ninja!

Enough bickering!

We are no longer part of this transient world of flesh and bone.

It's annoying, but we're being controlled, and all of us have the same orders to follow.

[grunt] I'll give the orders here!

All units, prepare to attack!

Who are you?!

The Red Cloud of Dust! Daimaru of the Wind!

[startled gasp]

So, you've heard of me have you?

No one has heard of you.

What?! That can't be!

You must've died before me!

But anyway, we're being controlled. Nothing we can do about that.

Whether we're being controlled or not, let's just get this over with.

Honestly I really don't want to die...again.

Oh, stop your complaining, would ya?!

All units, attack!

We have the advantage of numbers!

Incoming!

Be on your guard!

It's like an entire army! The size of the Allied Forces but Reanimated Ninja!

If we fight them face to face..then we're all..sure to die.

All of you, attack!

[fighting efforts]

Quick, fall back!

You all stay away!

Ah, not good!

[startled yells]

All of them are... so weak!

Maybe they're only genin!

No, this is no good!

Who was it? Who said that we had the advantage here?!

[yelp]

Everyone attack!

Sealing team, advance as well!

[grunt]

We can do this!

Seal them all!

Wait, all of those reanimations...don't tell me.

I've revived many, but harvesting their personal information material was a real ordeal.

It's essentially just grave robbing.

Sometimes they're so rotted, you can't even tell who it is.

I had a lot of failures along the way.

[fighting in the distance] Are these the failures?

All they have is numbers! Attack as one!

Musai? Is it you? Is it really you?!

You mean...You're my father?!

What?!

That guy's your dad?!

Is he strong?!

Hardly. You didn't even get past Chunin class, right?

Why, you fool!

Just lie and say I was strong!

There it is!

[gasp] They're coming right this way!

What?!

You must be careful Musai, because our orders are-

To take back the powerful pieces that I've lost.

That is what all you pawns are for.

[agonizing screaming]

What's going on?!

This is...not the right one, Kabuto.

Yes, I agree, Lord Orochimaru.

Who are you guys?!

Listen, out of curiosity...

You aren't the Magnetic-Style User Toroi, are you?

What? Are you kidding? No way!

I can't even hold a candle to a shinobi like Toroi.

What do we do with him, Lord Orochimaru?

Hmm...

Let's keep him for now, he may come in handy.

I'm sorry, but I cannot disobey!

As it strange as it may sound, I'm going to rescue Toroi!

I will not allow that. We'll protect him!

Over there!

That's the reanimated force we got the report about!

All of you, stay focused and attack!

Alright! Reinforcements!

Is that...No way!

Huh?

Hey big bro over here, it's me!

Over here!

What?! You?!

You've been reanimated?! But why?!

Listen, how's my family? My kids?

They're all just fine, they're doing well in the village.

Oh, that's good. I'm glad they're okay.

Your wife even got remarried a while back, and she's really happy now.

What?! She did?!

She got married to someone else?!

Well I guess I can't blame her.

I hate to do this to kin, but I must seal you.

Are you...Over here! Hey, it's me! It's me!

Huh? What the hell?! Why'd you get reanimated?!

I couldn't say it until now, but I was wrong. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

Oh, listen forget it.

That entire mess is in the past now.

Besides, you're dead anyway.

You forgive me?!

I forgave you long ago!

Really?!

Sorry, gotta seal you dad.

Wait! First...

What...?

During that mission, I fought alongside Toroi until the very end, for the village!

Please make sure that you tell Lord Raikage!

Sure, dad. I will.

[grateful grunt]

[roars of battle]

Yes! More reinforcements!

They've sent in quite a few of them.

We have to keep them occupied.

Leave it to me.

Swirling Smoke Jutsu!

What's this smoke?!

Just ignore it and attack!

Platoon! You will follow me now!

I said not to order me around!

It is really quite tragic to be forced to fight when there is no desire to fight.

I can't believe it. They made peace with themselves!

Just who do you mean?

Those four guys from the Hidden Cloud.

Even after all this time they were able to clear their consciences.

Do you still harbor any regrets?

Of course! I did die when I was very young. It'd be strange not to.

To tell you the truth, I have some too.

And you, Monk?

Death is the destiny of every man.

You're quite enlightened.

Perhaps, but not during my lifetime. What about you?

I felt no lingering attachments in life.

Although now...since I'm dead, I do feel some regrets.

Regret is a completely ridiculous topic for you to talk about.

Besides, I didn't reanimate you merely to have philosophical discussions.

I've just returned.

How'd it go?

There's no mistake. It's Gari, the Stone's Explosive-Style User.

Been rummaging for corpses again?

[annoyed sigh] At least call it grave robbing.

Whatever you call it, you're still exploiting the dead,

Don't mock him, Sasuke.

You have done very good work, Kabuto.

Yes.

Anyway, Orochimaru, I'm ready.

What are you having me do today?

Don't be so hasty. Today's training will be special.

After Lord Orochimaru was killed, I was left alone once again.

However... But my story's different.

Instead of reaching beyond Lord Orochimaru, I stubbornly kept clinging tightly to his power.

Now I have a much better idea of how you must've felt, Naruto.

You made me see...

And so I decided that I would try to be like you.

That's why my path's clear to me.

I'm going to use what I was able to absorb of Lord Orochimaru,

To become a better, stronger Kabuto Yakushi!

To become a better, stronger Kabuto Yakushi!

[struggling]

[pleased reaction]

[pleased reaction]

[painful cries]

[surprised gasp]

Oh, I see In thought you were Sasori.

But you're his grandmother.

At last... Zabuza Momochi.

You'll carry on once again as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

[struggling effort]

Are you Hanzo of the Salamander?

What? No, I'm the right hand man of his right hand man.

I'm Heiji of the Rain Shelter.

[annoyed sigh]

[painful scream]

Are you Chiriku of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve?

Sorry, but I am not. I am Chiriku's mentor. My name is Chukaku.

Oh! So you're actually stronger than Chiriku?

Oh, uh... No, I'm afraid that I am merely a scholar.

[defeated sigh]

A motley crew of failures is what this group is.

But still, I think you'll be useful.

Alright, just do it.

Do you think we got all of them?

I don't know...

Some could've escaped under cover of the smoke.

Contact Headquarters. Tell them already sealed reanimated ninja were targeted.

And see if everyone else is safe.

I see it! Right there!

Hurry up! We must rendezvous with Gaara's men!

Lady Temari! There's a message from HQ. We have to turn back now!

What was that?!

It appears that someone known as the Third Raikage is sealed in there.

Well, I guess that means we're supposed to revive him.

Leave it to me!

[screaming in pain]

It's a barrier.

Earth Style: Sand Dance!

The barrier's broken but...I cannot undo this.

That is one stubborn Jutsu Formula.

Then first, we'll have to decode it.

Looks like it's my turn...

Although I have no desire to do this.

Can you do it?

Jutsu Formulas do fall under this monk's special expertise.

[grunt]

[chanting]

That's not bad at all.

Blade Dance Jutsu!

[painful screaming]

It took forever to seal the Raikage.

We're not going to let him come back!

[excited chuckling]

Temari!

Huh?!

Oh, how I've longed to see you, dear Temari!

[shocked reaction]

She knows him?

I don't know.

Da-Daimaru?!

How did you ever become one of the reanimated?!

I have nothing to lose now so I'm just gonna go ahead and say it!

Uh, say what?

Alright then, here goes nothing...

Temari...I have always loved you!

Wind Scythe!

[yelling in pain]

Oh, well. I guess that was to be expected.

I am a reanimation after all.

But Temari, at least do me the courtesy of telling me how you really feel about me.

Look, when we were kids you were mean to me every chance that you got, and now you tell me this?!

Oh...Sorry about that back then.

Since I'm dead, I can say it: You were always on my mind.

Then why were you so mean to me?!

Aw, come one, soften up a bit! You can't help that!

Yeah! I mean, that's just the way boys are.

What way is that?

The way he was!

I think that it's really beautiful, Temari. The way he declared his love for you!

Even more so now that he's passed on!

It's so romantic!

He only had the courage 'cause he's reanimated.

Actually, I'm kinda surprised that you were reanimated.

Hey, come on! I'm Daimaru, the Red Cloud of Dust!

Like the forgettable C-rank mission where you lost your life.

Your name is unknown. You're not famous at all.

Uh, Temari? Did you hate me back then?

Not at all, you were a lot of fun.

But best of all, you weren't scared that I was the Kazekage's daughter, and Gaara's older sister.

So you mean... If I'd lived, you would have dated me?

Nope. No way No way.

Damn, you are just brutally honest.

But I like that about you!

There's someone that Temari already likes, you know.

Yeah, she's in demand.

Ugh, I should have known!

What are you talking about?! There's no one that I like!

Look, just get this over with and seal me.

You know, back when I heard that you had died I was very sad, Daimaru.

Seeing you now must be the hand of Fate.

Did you cry over me?

Did you? Hm?

Nope. Sorry, I didn't cry.

Sealing team! Make it snappy!

Right!

Well, so long Temari.

So long, Daimaru.

Now then...

Be careful. He was in the Foundation as Danzo's bodyguard.

He's dangerous.

As you know, we cannot defy the orders we've been given.

So keep your distance.

Blade Dance Jutsu!

Was that a Clone Jutsu?

Notify Headquarters about him!

We'll rendezvous with the Main Company.

Will do!

Come on.

I couldn't retrieve the pawns I lost.

But this one has turned out to be quite a find.

Please hurry! You have to seal me soon...Or you'll all be destroyed!

Good job finding me.

My insects led me.

Judging by your appearance, I can only assume that you've been reanimated.

Do you remember my Venemousa Beetles?

Hurry, call for reinforcements. You can't stop me alone.

You're wrong. I'm probably the only one who can.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Shino vs. Torune!

Let's settle this, just the two of us.
