Original subtitles

We've received word from the Fourth Company.

It seems Lord Danzo's ANBU bodyguards have been reanimated.

Do you mean Torune and Foo? They were listed as missing in action.

I believe so.

So they were killed, then.

Yes.

Really? Both of them?

Only Torune has been confirmed.

Notify every company!

When he is found, he must be sealed immediately.

Is he actually that formidable?

Shikuro Aburame's son...

If he's under the Reanimation Jutsu, he might use a Forbidden Jutsu.

Get word to Naruto as well!

I wonder what happened to Danzo's other bodyguard, the one who's called Foo.

That's right. He belonged to the Yamanaka Clan, didn't he?

Yes. I didn't want him to join the foundation, but...

What's the matter?

[frustrated gritting]

Even if it is a Forbidden Jutsu, why do you resist it?

No one from this point on will prohibit you.

Jar of Poison Jutsu!

[sinister chuckling] You certainly know your stuff.

Now go on, finish it.

Damn it! Being forced to use this jutsu...

[surprised breath] Excellent, good job finding me.

My insects led me.

Wait...Shino?

Torune? Is that you, Torune?

Yes.

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

Yes.

Which means...that you died.

That's right, unfortunately.

What happened to Lord Danzo?

I heard he died.

I see...So Madara killed him in the end.

The facts are slightly different, but nevermind that.

Please tell me what you're doing here.

The Jar of Poison Jutsu.

What is that?

Insects are rapidly multiplying in this chasm.

Do you remember my Venomous Beetles?

I could never forget them.

Remember, you and I, we both grew up together like brothers.

Gotten used to the Academy yet?

Not yet. It's because my class is so rowdy.

I prefer playing with insects, like this.

That's not gonna do. In time you're going to start being sent out on missions.

And when you do, having friends or not will make a huge difference.

Torune, you didn't go to the Academy, did you?

I didn't, because I'm special, even within the Clan.

Special in what way?

I guess it's time that I told you about it.

My body is host...

To nano-sized Venomous Beetles with very toxic poison.

My body produces antibodies for the poison.

But if the beetles infect another host...they will destroy its cells and kill it.

But if the beetles infect another host...they will destroy its cells and kill it.

Don't touch it!

These Venomous Beetles of mine thrive inside of living cells.

They multiply and destroy them.

If their host dies, the Venomous Beetles will also die.

Like a virus?

Yes. These insects can only survive for any length of time inside me body.

That's why I can't touch anyone.

It's not that you didn't go to the Academy, it's that you can't go, that's because...

Yes, you're right.

But you're different in that regard.

You must get used to the Academy quickly, and make friends.

[mischievous giggling] Wahoo!

Huh?

Hey! There's a whole lot of bugs on your desk, you know!

Yeah, he's right!

Just leave them alone.

These are my insects, they're very special.

Oh! So you collect bugs, huh?

Don't most people collect rhinoceros or staghorn beetles?

Say, you know what we should do? Throw these bugs at the girls in class!

"Ahh," they'd all say. Wouldn't it be fun watching them scream?!

These insects aren't for that purpose.

Aw, come on! Bugs are bugs!

Let's just do it! Let's make them scream, "ahh!"

And who are you gonna make scream, Naruto?

[distant yelling]

I don't understand friendship.

The reason is because everyone is so different.

Even if people are different, if they spend time together, aren't they friends?

Well then, I'd have to consider my entire class friends.

But it's not like that.

You know, you analyze things too much.

Dad...

Is that boy holding the net your son?

Yes.

He's now at a suitable age to enter the foundation.

Pardon?

As you know, the Foundation is where ANBU agents are developed.

Those who show great promise are selected when they're still very young.

The Foundation's being reorganized, and I would like the Aburame Clan to send us a candidate.

Has Lord Third approved this?

Recruiting for the Foundation is wholly under my jurisdiction.

Every Clan that possesses a Hidden Jutsu, including the Uchiha and Yamanaka Clans, has sent someone to enlist.

Yes, but...Shino-

If he is your son, then he must be exceptional.

[conflicted reaction]

What is this all about, dad?

Let me clear about it. This is not a request, it's an order.

But that's...

If this man's looking for someone exceptional, will I do?

Torune...

You, boy?

From the looks of you, you aren't even a genin yet.

I'm the son of Shikuro Aburame.

I wasn't aware Shikuro had a son.

As fate would have it, we're his guardians.

Hmm. Now I know why you kept him hidden. Interesting...

I have a few reservations, but the foundation will take this boy in.

I should tell you, I can't be teamed with anyone.

Don't be arrogant.

You're not the only shinobi who possesses a Secret Ninjutsu.

In the morning, you will come to visit me.

Understood.

Torune, you sure about this?

It's not like joining the Foundation will kill me.

But we won't be able to see each other anymore.

This is goodbye.

But why, Torune?

Entering the Foundation means abandoning your past, as well as your future.

I wanna say...

[surprised breath]

Thank you for everything until now.

Those Venomous Beetles are lethal, but only transmitted by touch.

What is the point of a jutsu such as this?

The Jar of Poison Jutsu requires a large amount of flesh.

That's why it's considered a Forbidden Jutsu.

But I was able to gather many bodies from the battlefield.

With this many cells, the insects won't die. They'll just keep multiplying.

And then, as the decaying flesh releases gases...

Of course...The gas.

In the next phase, the gas will be ignited.

The cells carrying my Venomous Beetles will scatter on the wind...

...and infect everyone in the surrounding area.

That's the Forbidden Jar of Poison Jutsu.

So it doesn't discriminate between friend and foe.

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

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

It's useless. I underwent very rigorous training at the Foundation.

Yes, I know that all of you in the Foundation are quite skilled.

I never thought it possible, but I actually made a friend in the Foundation.

Hidden Jutsu: Beetle Sphere!

Foo...

[determined breath]

Did you ever make friends?

[shocked gasp]

Shino...?

I don't really know if I have any friends.

That's because I'm not sure that they consider me to be their friend,

You're still over-analyzing.

To me, it's merely viewing things accurately.

I think it was good that I joined the Foundation.

With my physical constitution, I couldn't be an ordinary shinobi doing ordinary missions.

However, the Foundation's ANBU was quite a good fit for me.

As someone who uses a Secret Ninjutsu.

Making contact with your opponent is the basis of your jutsu.

I want to see your taijutsu skills.

So I'm going to have you spar with Foo.

But sir...my body will be-

Lord Danzo told me about you.

The main thing is just to avoid touching your skin, right?

Not that you'll be able to touch me.

What's that?

Just remember, you joined the Foundation today.

Don't think you're my equal.

[frustrated reaction]

Begin.

[battle cry]

You call that being on guard?

If I were fighting seriously, you'd be dead.

Lord Danzo needs to assess you. He wants to know your true strength.

So you have to fight seriously.

Now come on!

You're nothing but talk!

You may show him.

Sir!

[yelling in attack]

There you go.

[defeated reaction]

Stop. That's enough.

Damn!

From this moment on, the both of you are going to form a two-man cell.

Foo, teach Torune everything about the Foundation.

Yes, sir.

I'm with him?!

The Mind Transfer Jutsu and the Venomous Beetle Jutsu should pair well with each other.

[surprised gasp]

Shino, do you know what has happened to Foo?

I don't.

You were both listed as being missing in action.

I see...

Maybe Foo's been reanimated as well, then.

We have no reports about that.

Shino, why waste time listening to my old stories?

You haven't called for help. Just how do you intend to stop me?

I know you're only trying to buy time.

The reason is because the insects require more time to multiply.

You intend to die here with me...But that's futile!

You cannot attempt close combat with me.

If I can't use my beetles, then I must.

Get men skilled in long-distance fighting! And Sealing Jutsu!

I don't know anyone like that nearby.

Shino!

[grunt] Naruto!

Well, kinda. I'm a clone.

I came over here because I sensed your chakra.

Is that the guy HQ sent the message about?

I'm impressed that you recognized my chakra.

Yeah, I learned how in my training!

No, I didn't mean it that way.

Shino, don't let him attack recklessly.

All I have to do is pulverize this guy, right?

The Venomous Beetles would scatter everywhere. And our opponent's reanimated.

We must seal him to beat him.

Don't touch him, the reason is because his Venomous Beetles will infect you.

But not only by touch...

Poison Cloud Jutsu!

[inhale]

Get back! Don't inhale no matter what!

Touching or breathing them does that.

Naruto, do you posses a Sealing Jutsu?

No, I don't. You don't have one either?

I've been given some sealing tags. But, what I don't have now is a way to apply them.

Get rid of those tags, Shino!

I'll be forced to destroy anyone who gets in my way.

My body will just attack on its own!

I'm not gonna let you lay a single finger on Shino.

I'm gonna stop all your attacks!

You're the one who can't lay a single finger on him, Naruto.

That's because-

I get it, and I'm sure you're right.

You had better watch out, Jinchuriki.

The Assassination Jutsu of the Foundation.

Like I care!

[angry grunt]

[battle cry]

Rasengan!

[attack yell]

Not good!

[shocked reaction]

Dodge this!

Naruto!

Shino! [gasp]

[grunt] No!

Jinchuriki, quick! Take me down! Seal me!

Otherwise...I'll continue to-

[nervous breath]

Shino, are you alright?

[painful struggle]

Stay back, Naruto.

Shino...?

Now as insect users, let's settle this, just the two of us!

Shino, how did you manage to survive that?

You...You touched the Venomous Beetles!

No, I didn't touch them. Your beetles touched mine.

You were like an older brother to me.

I wanted a keepsake of you, so I nurtured and bred my own Venomous Beetles.

I raised them by feeding them my insects.

Years later, after many generations of offspring...

...insects with antibodies against the Venemous Beetles were born.

These are those insects.

With the antibody they possess, touching your Venomous Beetles won't kill them.

You may be an Insect User, but no one can host an insect as unique as that.

Especially not in this large quantity.

Yes. At first I only carried about ten with me.

But when I got here, I made them multiply.

Maybe it was the jutsu barrier, but it took less time than I calculated.

Shino...you...

I know you're only trying to buy time.

The reason is because the insects require more time to multiply.

You never miss a detail.

But it's different now. You see...I'm not alone amymore.

Forgive me. For this seal.

No, you don't need to apologize.

No, you don't need to apologize.

Hey, Shino, what do we do with everything here?

Don't worry. The Jutsu User has been sealed. Eventually these insects will die.

You mean this is all over.

Please go, Naruto.

Kiba and Hinata are that way.

Right!

Torune, I'm grateful.

I'm glad that I didn't have to join the Foundation.

It's because...

Hey! What about you, Shino?

Come on, hurry it up!

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

It's because, I got to make friends.

I've been told to leave Naruto alone. However... not Eight Tails.

I can't wait to conduct Lord Orochimaru's tests on him!

Bee, I'm going to prepare the perfect reanimation for you.

Wait! He's...

You're the Eight Tails' former Jinchuriki! Fukai!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "A Hole in the Heart: The Other Jinchuriki"

It certainly has been a while, Bee.
