Original subtitles

They say you take your personality to the grave... I've already died once.

I plan to honor it.

The estranged brothers come together to stop me!

How exciting!

Don't stare at me. Bookish types like me like me aren't used to being stared at.

A genjutsu countermeasure.

The way those snakes are moving, they can sense exactly what the two of us are.

Well, some snakes are able to perceive body heat, and they can smell the air by using their tongues.

It seems you've studied a lot! You're like a snake expert.

Heh! Of course I did. I had to take down Orochimaru.

However, being a snake expert will not help you take me down.

I chose this battlefield. And Nature is my ally.

The snakes are bigger!

Watch for traps. The terrain gives him an edge, Sasuke.

Traps? Oh, no! That's not what I meant!

Susano'o, huh?

Too aggressive, Sasuke! Remember, we can't kill him.

It seems that he's acquired Orochimaru's power.

He won't go down as easy as that!

Sasuke!

The hood, I know!

What's that?!

Why you!

You're taking this bookish thing a little too far.

First, you hide your face, and now your entire body, Kabuto?

You've shed your skin to get away?

All you have you took from Orochimaru. You're still nothing!

Sasuke... you underestimate me.

Well, then again, I was listed lower than you on the danger scale in the Bingo Book...

And of course, I'm nothing compared to Lord Orochimaru.

That's for sure. Especially if this is what you consider hiding.

Sasuke! Be careful!

There are pieces of his chakra everywhere...

There's no telling which of them's the real thing.

It's the ability to transform one's flesh into liquid.

To detach and separate using one's own life substance. That's why it looks like shedding.

I've researched and applied the Hozuki Clan's Flesh Transforming ability to this technique.

You know who I mean, right? Suigetsu.

He can transform from human to water and back to human again.

Plus, I have the amazing ability to recuperate quickly.

I'll admit, it's a healing technique that I studied from the body of a woman originally of the

Uzumaki Clan....

Someone you're quite familiar with... Karin.

Karin's actually from the Uzumaki Clan?

A special trait of those with Uzumaki blood is their red hair.

And their life force is as tenacious as a cockroach's.

Now then, that leaves one last member of your little team. You're probably thinking of him right now.

Or perhaps you are no longer comrades?

At any rate, you have a discerning eye to have chosen those three.

In the Shinobi World, those without talent are nothing.

But then those who lack talent can just steal it from those who do possess it!

Do you have Jugo's abilities, too? You seem to...

Did you receive a Curse Mark from Orochimaru?!

No!

That thing is just a temporary boost.

This power is something I actually mastered myself...

...at Ryuchi Cave!

Ryuchi Cave?!

Can't be!

Yes, that's right! I found it! A place as legendary as Mt. Myoboku and the Shikkotsu Woods!

Lord Orochimaru is not the only one to have reached it!

I trained under the White Snake Sage and awakened this ability!

I was finally able to surpass Lord Orochimaru!

I did it!

Wait, Sasuke! Be patient!

Ah-ah-ah!

He dodged it?! The Susano'o arrow?!

My sensory ability is far better than it used to be. Nature Energy is my ally now, as I mentioned before.

Nature Energy?

So he does have it.

Just listen; I'll explain... The members of Jugo's Clan have always had special bodies that are able to

absorb Nature Energy.

That's the secret behind those rampages. The ability causes them to suddenly become more

powerful and wild.

Lord Orochimaru wasn't interested in Jugo's rampages so much as in the origin of his Clan's power.

He finally tracked down the source of the power. And its wellspring was the Ryuchi Cave.

Lord Orochimaru immediately tried to acquire that power.

However, he didn't yet possess a body that could tolerate it.

That's why....

Lord Orochimaru was not able to become the perfect Sage...

...not like the one I have now become! [chuckle]

I see... as I thought, you're using Sage Mode!

You're just like Orochimaru! You're just a disgusting snake!

You ought to know better, snake expert.

I'm no longer a snake.

My Sage power has allowed me to shed that skin...

And I'm now a dragon!

Well, answer me! Would you like all of these clones to use Susano'o or wouldn't you? It's your choice.

None of you have any answers at all, do you?

[growling]

Then I'll have to provide an answer for you.

Can't be!

Damn him...

They'll use it.

Damn them...

Each of us must take on five...

It's five to one...

Not quite. It's twenty-five to five.

Lord Tsuchikage?

We're not alone! We'll guard each other's backs and coordinate our attacks. We are the Five Kage!

-Yes! -Okay! -That's right!

Let's go!

It seems the Five Kage are struggling against Madara.

The chakra's unbelievable!

He's not just a legendary shinobi, he's also been reanimated.

He's immortal, which means he has infinite chakra.

It's no wonder they're having a hard time against him.

We have to do something about the user of this Reanimation Jutsu.

Any word from the Investigative Unit?

Nothing so far. They've been searching every location that's thought to be a hideout.

But they haven't found one sign of Kabuto yet.

Sensory Unit?

We're getting no response to any of our attempts. So he's probably put up some kind of barrier.

Shall I deploy more shinobi?

We've sent every man that's available. Any more will weaken our efforts at the front.

[groan]

Who would've imagined Kabuto could do so much?

Sage Art: White Extreme Attack!

[painful screaming]

My ears... My bones! They feel like they're being pulverized!

This jutsu uses light and sound to knock out vision and hearing...

It causes the air to oscillate, to paralyze the senses, freezing you in place...

With my snake eyes, I can shut my sight off and block the light. By turning my body to liquid, I can

simply flow with sound and vibration!

Thanks to my Sage powers, I'm the only one who can move in these conditions!

It's no use! I can't hold the Susano'o!

I need to go after Itachi... I'll rewrite the Paper Seal in his head and make him my pawn again.

Or even better...

Itachi... Somehow you always seem to find me, don't you?

Are you sensing my chakra?

But... wait a minute, here.

I'm impressed you were able to pass through my barrier and find this place.

Back when you were still controlling me, I was able to pinpoint where your chakra was coming from.

Yet another risk of this jutsu.

Hold on, I remember you said something about "back when I was still controlling you..."

So now that I'm not doing that any longer, you can't sense my chakra, can you?

Are you trying to fool me with your lies again?

I was never the one who could do that. I couldn't sense your chakra.

Only Nagato was able to do that, and he relayed the information to me. I have no such ability.

Besides, I know what your target is anyway. I do have instincts, you know.

I merely protect that which I think you'll most want to attack.

If a man as cautious and opportunistic as you wants Sasuke... You'll go for him first!

Your best chance to capture Sasuke is now, before either of us figures out your jutsu. And then

after that, you can use my brother to try to stop me.

What sets you apart the most from the rest of your Uchiha Clan brethren is that you have true Visual Prowess...

You can peer right into people's souls and read them.

And then use what you learn against them in battle.

That is why you are so good at deceiving people.

You died a genius! A genius at lying!

Agh! He's on the ceiling!

You truly think that a makeshift team of two people who hate each other can outwit my perception

skills and stop me?

And because your brother lied so much, you really know nothing about him and you will never trust each other.

Sasuke...

Do you remember the time that you tagged along with me on my mission?

The wild boar?

I'm heading out!

[gasp] It's you.

Oh yeah, that, I remember.

A wild boar?

I'm heading out!

It's you!

Word is you're going on a boar hunt, Big Brother!

I heard that it's incredibly huge! As big as a monster!

It's bad 'cause it's tearing up the fields and ruining them!

That's why you're going on the mission, to take it down, aren't you?

And you're doing it by yourself, isn't that right?

But don't worry, it'll be okay, 'cause I'm gonna come with you, too!

You know, right?

That I'm a really good archer?

Well, you should know! We've been hunting together a bunch of times before.

Huh?

Sorry, Sasuke.

Some other time.

No!

Big Brother!

Big Brother, wait!

[roaring]

[heavy breathing]

I'm surprised you caught up with me.

Yeah, well, I've been training...

Climb up here.

That's it, huh?

Don't kill him.

What?

Just hurt him, and he'll leave.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Avoid vital spots.

I got it!

Right now!

Watch out! He's going to steal my blade and cut off his own tail to escape!

That's why he told you not to be so impatient.

Oh, yeah. That's right, these things are new...

I totally forgot that I have these horns up here now. Oh, well

[roaring]

[screaming]

Big Brother!

You completely missed, Sasuke.

Sorry, Big Brother...

It seems you need to do more training.

Let's go home, Sasuke.

And I'll help you train when we get back.

Okay!

It looks like now you might be able to kill that boar.

Except instead of a giant wild boar, I need to take down that snake.

Yeah...

I can sympathize with Itachi. I understand his choice.

Both Itachi and I worked for the good of the Hidden Leaf, but in return all that we

got back was dishonor and disgrace!

What has the Leaf Village ever done for us?

No matter what darkness or contradictions lie within the village, I'm...

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "To Each Their Own Leaf."

I'm still Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf!
