What is it?

I see...

Huh? There's lots and lots of shinobi?

Well, according to these birds...

There's a war going on, is that right?

[affirmative grunt]

We need to find Sasuke before we get mixed up in this whole ridiculous conflict!

Hidden Leaf Home Watch Unit One reporting. We've completed our patrol

of the eastern sector. No incidents to report.

Hidden Leaf Home Watch Unit Two.

We patrolled the western sector. No incidents to report.

Roger that! Unit One will now go and patrol the northern sector.

Right! And Unit Two will head for the southern sector.

You all do your best, Konohamaru.

We will! You guys, too, Watase! See ya!

It kinda feels like we're in the battle, too! It's sort of exciting!

Yeah, it feels like the real thing!

This isn't some kind of game, you guys!

If people like those wrestlers and boxers show up again, we have to protect

the Hidden Leaf Village, you got it?!

Yeah!

You bastard! I'm going to kill you!

What was that scary voice, Konohamaru?!

You're gonna pay!

That's the Intel Division over there. Of course! It's the prisoner!

Prisoner? Who is it?

Big Brother Sasuke's partner from the Akatsuki or The Taka or something.

But I'll forgive you!

Let's go. It's okay. Come on, you guys.

You bastard! I hope you suffer and die!

But you're so handsome! [giggling]

But still!

Who do you think you are! How dare you try to kill me!

[cough]

Karin... if you're slow enough to get taken hostage, then you're just a burden.

Why that little--!

You're an idiot! But I still want you!

No!

That idiot tried to kill me! There's no forgiveness for that!

But he's so handsome!

What is she doing?!

It's that picture she brought with her.

She's been in there talking crazy to it again. Poor thing...

She must've suffered so much.

Oh, wait... Do you mean that picture of Sasuke?

[giggling]

Aren't we supposed to confiscate that thing?

We tried!

But she went nuts! Completely wild!

She's a lot quieter with it, so we let her keep it. Anyway, it's just a picture.

Okay then, no harm done, I guess. You want to play a quiet game of cards?

Sure.

[giggling]

Boy, it sure would be great if Sasuke were here at this hideout.

After all this place is special.

Orochimaru's favorite spot.

Hey! Sasuke! Are you here?

The size of this hideout is ridiculous!

[painful grunting]

What's wrong?

It's nothing. My head just started hurting.

Oh, man is he gonna go on another rampage?

Sasuke, Karin and Jugo... Hebi, Taka or whatever...

I'm the only normal one among us.

Suigetsu...

Yeah, what is it?

You know, there's something about you that's always bothered me quite a bit.

Oh, yeah?!

Well, I'm always concerned about you, Jugo. Your presence is thrilling.

I'm here because I made a promise to Kimimaro.

Why are you here? Are you in Team Taka just to cause trouble with Sasuke and Karin?

Why, huh?

Yeah, why are you here?

You wanna know why?

It's you. I knew you'd come.

You being here must mean that you killed Orochimaru.

That's right.

But never mind that for now. Let's get you out of there.

Aaaah, free at last! Thank you, Sasuke.

Suigetsu, you're the first.

Now come with me.

What do you mean, "the first?" Who are the others?

There are two others: Jugo of the Northern hideout, and I'm also getting Karin of the Southern hideout.

I understand why you'd pick me, of course. But choosing those two is making me wonder about you, Sasuke.

Do you ever shut up? Come on, get dressed. We're leaving.

Can I ask you something Sasuke?

What is it?

Why are you dragging a team together?

Because I have a goal...

...and having a team will let me reach that goal faster.

Since I joined with Orochimaru...

I've been preparing for when this would happen. I have monitoring a number of shinobi.

Carefully selecting the most powerful ones who catch my eye.

Huh...

Now that I gathered my perfect team...

Here it is. This is my plan.

My ultimate goal is to kill Itachi Uchiha of the Akatsuki.

But to succeed, I'll need help from all of you.

Of course, it's your choice.

Karin. You said you had something else to do.

Decide.

Oh. Uh.

Well, on second thought...

That other thing isn't really important.

Karin, just be honest and tell the truth, would you?

The only thing you're really interested in is being around Sasuke, isn't that right?

What?! No, that's just ridiculous!

It's ridiculous how ridiculous that is! No, you're ridiculous!

What I am, is right! I mean, why else would you get all flustered like that?

How rich!

I know the truth, you know. About how long ago you wanted Sas-

Agh!

Suigetsu, don't get Karin worked up.

Didn't I tell you to try and get along?

All right, I will.

I'm sorry, Karin. Truly.

Now, look, you may hate it...

But I'm not going anywhere. I'm sticking like glue to Sasuke.

At least I am, until I can locate one of the Seven Hidden Mist Blades.

I'm on the hunt for Kisame Hoshigaki's giant sword, The Shark Skin Samehada.

Then it's all set.

Now that we're a team, we all move together, as one.

And from this point on, we four will be known as the Hebi.

So, why?

Heh! [chuckling]

I would love nothing better than to break both of those two losers up for good!

I just want to break everything in two! I can't help myself! Especially when it comes to those guys!

I see. You're reprehensible, you know that?

Huh?

Yeah, right. You kidding me? You want to talk reprehensible? Then Sasuke's the worst of all!

What do you mean?

Come on! After he'd defeated Itachi, I thought that he had reached his goal and was finished.

We are no longer the "Hebi."

From this day on, our team will be the "Taka".

And Taka has but one goal.

Our mission...

...is to destroy the Hidden Leaf!

I mean, give me a break! Teaming up with the Akatsuki to capture the Jinchuriki of the Eight Tails?

He got us mixed up in a ridiculous mission.

Are you the Jinchuriki host of the Eight Tails?

That's "Lord Eight Tails, sir" to you.

No, wait. You say, "Are you Lord Jinchuriki, sir?" Got it?

I'm here to capture you.

Suigetsu, take the right.

Jugo, take the left.

Karin, behind me; cover my back.

Then I'll sting ya like a killa bee!

Sasuke!

And end my flow with a killer blow!

[gasp]

[attacking yell]

Sasuke, the three of us will take care of him.

The fact is, this guy is incredibly strong. So we'd better go at him as if we are trying to kill him.

That might be our best chance of taking him while he's still alive.

[roar]

A monster ox So this is his true form, huh?

[roaring]

I'll take over, you guys! Just run while you can!

Thanks, Suigetsu...

Let's go, Sasuke.

[angry growl]

Yo, I'm not letting y'all get away this late in the game, fools, ya fools.

[growling]

All of us nearly died! But somehow, we managed to finish the job.

But the next thing you know, we're crashing the Five Kage Summit and we're in a battle

royale with the Raikage and the others!

He's trying to blind us!

No!

Jugo, relax. It's just a genjutsu.

You saw through the genjutsu, but it's too late!

And when the fist fight was over, he brought down the ceiling without giving a damn about us!

Whoa! What the hell's he doing?!

Thanks to him, we ended up as prisoners of the Land of Iron.

[annoyed sigh]

To be honest, I hate you all.

I lead you idiots to water, and you splash it in my face instead of drinking it. That's why--

[angry roar]

Agh! A rampage! Whoa, is he out to kill me?!

Just die!

You know, I think I hate you the most of all!

What is this?!

I've been here so many times before, but... I never knew this existed.

[gasp]

Is this... one of Orochimaru's secret rooms?

Huh?

What?! This is?! Orochimaru planned all of this?

This intel. It could change the whole outcome of this war!

[coughing]

What are you doing?

This scroll might be a very nice little present for Sasuke.

We've found something incredible down here, purely by chance!

[coughing]

That punch is water under the bridge for right now, Jugo.

[coughing]

Come on, Jugo, snap out of it!

We've got to find Sasuke, and fast!

The birds around here are uneasy...

Over there.

Let's go.

You wasted no time coming after me.

What are you doing out here?

Or not, as it seems to be...

[gasps]

I passed by two towns on my way here, but they were both completely deserted.

It seemed really odd to me. Do you happen to know anything about what's going on?

First, you're gonna have to answer our question! Now how come you're outside?!

What happened to our original that was with you?

If you hate it so much that I'm outside now, then you ought to capture me.

After all, you do outnumber me this time.

Hold on, you didn't kill our original, did you?!

With this many of you, now. I hope it's more of a challenge.

[attacking yells]

Susano'o!

[screaming]

Sharingan!

This is a war...

Our orders...

Take down the enemy...

So Madara's done it. He's begun his plan.

Capture Killer Bee and apprehend Naruto Uzumaki, as well.

Sasuke...

If you attack the Hidden Leaf, I'll have no choice. I will fight you. Don't doubt that.

Until that day, save your hatred.

Then you can throw all of it right at me.

I'm the only one who can handle all that hate.

Do you understand?

[chuckle]

Fine by me. But at least I'll take you down first.

If you don't hurry, more and more will join up with him one after another...

[chuckle]

It's because you know the pain of solitude like I do...

It's that very pain that makes you and I stronger, Naruto.

Which means if I can just break that bond, I'll be able to achieve even greater strength!

Did you forget, Naruto... just what true strength really looks like?

I feel the Uchiha at last being freed from this rotting Shinobi world.

And besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what you Leaf Shinobi have wanted all along?

You've always snubbed and put down the Uchiha clan. So I'll simply help erase the Uchiha from your memories...

By killing all of you.

And then, by destroying...

The Hidden Leaf Village!

Severing all bonds with the Hidden Leaf will be the ultimate purification!

And that shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!

I think that it's time for me to come and find you.

It's time to cut you down.

You're not Hidden Leaf Village shinobi. You're not part of the promise.

[screaming]

These are good eyes. I'm quickly getting used to them, Brother.

When you possess the same eyes...

Come back and face me!!

The scenes burned into these eyes that used to belong to my brother...

They're disgusting and sad. They weigh me down. But that's only fitting...

Just you watch, brother!

There's no shinobi alive today who's as powerful as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Everyone says that.

Just like they think the Sage of the Six Paths' power was a fairy tale.

It's time to show them that all the myths were real!

No one can stop this Reanimation!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "A Will of Stone."

I guess I'm too old to do anything...
