Look, I had...

I had my Father. I had my Mother. And I had Pervy Sage.

Kids love looking up to their heroes!

That's why I can run forward without hesitation!

And I will become the greatest Hokage of them all!

That's my dream! I won't give up on it!

[defiant roar]

I guess that crack in your mask will have to come first.

You will not touch the statue!

[angry roaring]

[roaring]

Naruto! You know his abilities, right?

Your window is the instant he tries to pull you in, that's when he'll become solid. If you

attack him normally, you'll just pass right through him.

That means go for a counterattack.

Diversionary tactics! Create an opening through close combat!

Avoid using big moves!

Thanks, but I already know that! That's why I created a clone!

Master Bee! Please, raise me up high!

I got this!

I'd better avoid direct attacks...

Up you go, yo!

Super Mini Tailed Beast Bomb!

Mangekyo Sharingan!

Twin Fangs!

This one?

I guess not. Then it must be...

[chuckle] Nice timing!

I'll deal...

...with you first!

Nice moves, Bushier Brow Sensei!

Okay! I think I've put enough chakra into this now!

Sorry, but...

I'm going...

...after the Gedo Statue!

Hm?

Kamui!

If I gouge out its head, it shouldn't be able to survive, Statue or not!

So naïve.

[heavy breathing]

What just happened?!

Don't tell me...

He vanished?

Naruto!

Damn it! These boulders are in the way!

Master Bee!

Got it!

Huh?

Go fly!

He cut the rock with his Lightning Blade! Nice, Kakashi!

I'm not going to be in time!

Naruto! Just keep going!

I'll take care of the kunai!

Kamui!

Damn it!

He's really strong! I can't get my attacks to land!

You all right?!

Yeah...

But... if even that attack isn't good enough...

What can we do?!

[gasps]

Man, what is happening all of a sudden?

Hey, Kakashi, you see that?

Yeah.

Huh?

There's a crack in his mask...

What?!

Seriously, where?!

You're right! It's true! On the left side!

It looks like your earlier attack hit right before it passed through him!

Nice work, Naruto! Let's keep going, then!

Yeah, all right! Now I feel like we might be able to get somewhere against him!

No... to be honest, it didn't look to me like Naruto's attack landed.

You're doing it again! You always say things like that!

So... was it something else?

What's going on?

From the looks of that crack, it doesn't seem to be from Naruto's punch.

That mask was scored, carved, by something a lot sharper...

Wait a minute!

You're wide open! Gotcha!

Do not mock me!

Uchiha Flame Formation!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Whoa!

Are you all right?! Are ya, Octopops and Eight-O?!

Agh! Do I look it?!

Now that he's erected a barrier, we have no choice but to tackle the masked guy first.

That's been my plan right from the beginning!

Damn it!

I thought so... No... It can't be...

Except...

I'd never heard... that the Kamui could be stopped!

But... if that chip in his mask...

...was caused by the kunai I used my Kamui on...

That means his ninjutsu is...

It's no use just thinking about it...

It's not an implausible theory, but it's not impossible, either...

Guy, Naruto, Master Bee...

Huh?

There's something I want to test. Please, lend me a hand.

Let's do it!

Right!

Yo!

[attacking yell]

Impressive destructive power.

How's that?!

No chance to pull me in, huh?!

You underestimate the Sharingan. I can read your movements.

I'll keep these.

He becomes solid when he absorbs things!

Now!

Rasengan!

Don't you see that it's futile?!

It went like you said, Kakashi Sensei! I don't really get why, but I finally landed an attack!

I see... It wasn't that Naruto undid his Rasengan...

...but that you used the Kamui to send the Rasengan away... right, Kakashi?

As I suspected. I thought you had two different jutsu, one to slip through things and one to

pull things in or take them out. But, no...

It's all just one single jutsu!

Are you sure it's just one?

Yep.

Well, there's no one better at jutsu analysis and breakdown.

His jutsu... Can you explain it to us quickly?

Knowing exactly what it is and how it works might change how we approach the battle.

The gist of his jutsu is very simple.

You see, the jutsu he uses to pull things in and the one where he slips through objects are

both the Transportation Technique.

Wait, what do you mean? Just how were you able to determine that?

Well...

Let me explain in order.

First, that crack in his mask...

That mark is from my Lightning Blade kunai knife. There's no doubt about it.

And I can tell from the look of the wound on his right shoulder that it was caused

by Naruto's Rasengan just now.

What those two things have in common...

...is that they both involve areas of his body that were overlapping and in contact with

Naruto's body while he was slipping through him.

Also... there is one other thing that the two have in common. And that is...

...the both of them were caused by a kunai knife and by a Rasengan that I had teleported using my Kamui.

In short, I can deduce from all this that his Transportation Technique...

...and the time-space of my Kamui are linked!

Wait just a second! What are you saying? How come his Visual Jutsu and yours are both linked?!

Does that mean that all Transportation Techniques are linked between all users?

No... That's not the case. I suspect that it's just him and me.

Never mind that! Why did your kunai hit but I wasn't able to land my punch?

That's right, fool! Even with shared time-spaces it should still be impossible to hit a guy that

can slip through everything like it was nothing at all, ya fool!

Except that our theory that he slips through things was wrong.

I still don't get it. What do you mean?

Although it looks like your attack slipped right through him...

...in fact, only the part of his body that would have been in contact with yours

was transported into time-space.

In other words, the left side of his mask that your punch "slipped through" was simply

transported into time-space and no longer existed on this plane.

At least materially.

And then...

Almost simultaneously, I hurled that kunai into time-space using Kamui, remember?

Just as his momentum carried him forward... when he extended his arm toward you in order to grab you...

...My kunai finished entering time-space and it scored his mask.

The same... with my Rasengan?

Yeah...

So that's what happened, huh?

But how come both your Visual Prowess are linked?

Kakashi, is he?

Just where did you obtain that eye?

Where?

[chuckling] During the last Great War, if I dare say.

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge...

The same battle where you earned the nickname "The Sharingan Hero."

Wait, are you?

I thought I told you not to flap your mouth so readily! You have sunk so low as to become

nothing but talk! Your words are worthless and meaningless!

It is too late for regrets. Reality just keeps cruelly moving forward.

You have seen reality, so you ought to know. Not one wish ever gets granted in this miserable world.

That is why I shall guide it toward the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

I shall create a world where it won't be necessary for a hero to pathetically make excuses in front of a grave.

[heavy breathing]

Hey, are you all right, Kakashi?!

Bastard! Are you still yakking on about that?!

I told you! I won't quit! My dream is to be Hokage!

I've been entrusted with way too much by way too many!

You tell him!

[harrumphing chuckle]

[harrumphing chuckle] Entrusted...

But, Naruto... What if you were to lose the things Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage entrusted you with?

I wonder what they would think.

I've always wanted to do something about all of this hatred...

I'm just not quite sure how to go about it as of yet.

If I can't find the solution to this problem, then perhaps I'll entrust you to find it instead, Naruto.

I'm very glad I made you my student.

You must find that answer for yourself. Because even I don't know it...

I'm certain that you'll be able to find the answer, Naruto.

Because I believe in you completely.

If you fail at the things you were entrusted with...

I wonder what you'll think of yourself, as well?

If you postpone dealing with problems and cover them up with the word "hope..."

...all that awaits you is empty reality. Both the entrusted and those that did the entrusting all in vain.

[growling]

I sealed half of the Nine-Tails' chakra inside of you, because I believed

that you could master this power.

I did it because you're my son.

Naruto! Switch with me!

There's something I want to say to him.

Sorry, but your words don't apply to this guy.

That's Nine Tails!

The Fourth entrusted him with me and Naruto's...

... befriended me now and mastered my power, too!

The Fourth Hokage sealed me inside Naruto as a force to help take you down.

Go, Naruto!

You will not fail!

Yeah!

That man, he couldn't be! There's absolutely no way!

Kakashi, I've got a pretty good idea of what you're thinking right now.

But you need to just leave it be. There's no time to wallow in sentimentality.

Your former subordinate Naruto has already jumped into action!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Who Are You?"

How foolish, attacking all by yourself.
