[clanging]

[thud, groan]

[thud, groan]

Gaara, don't overdo it!

I am no longer a Jinchuriki...

So that means...

We can now pull all-nighters as equals.

Gaara...you...

There's really no need to distinguish between man and beast.

...remind me of Bunpuku.

[moan]

[clang]

[growl]

[groan]

Hey, kid! Kazekage! Do me a favor!

[clanging]

Good.

You got that,...Gaara?!

Naruto!

"A True Ending"

[plop]

[heavy breathing]

[clanging, gnarr]

Shukaku!

Sorry, Bee!

I'm counting on you, Kazekage!

No way!

All of them were pulled into it!

Well,...Guess I can't expect more with my current strength...

That took longer than just a few seconds! But, I guess that you were faster than Obito.

Humph...You really do talk too much.

You're all flops, failed inventions of mine...Always finding fault with me.

Well, Black Zetsu's nickname is Wicked Tongue, and we White Zetsu call ourselves, Wagging Tongues, so- [laughter]

I trust that the other battle is going well, too?

Oh, don't worry, it is! After all, the base is pretty good material!

Flying Raijin Slice!

[whack]

You're mine!

This is my chance!

Naruto...

Gaara...!

Gaara...

Naruto...

I'm not going to let you die!

I swear it!

It's your M.O. to strike when your opponent is sure of victory...

Making the brats do all the hard work...

It appears the you haven't changed at all. You're still a delegator, aren't you, Tobirama?

The same goes for you.

[chuckle] But I'm the one the heavens are smiling on right now.

Just look at you, the one who was touted as the fastest shinobi ever.

There's a reason why you two brothers can't regain your full power and, you, your former speed.

Whether it's coincidence or if it's inevitable, I've got the edge right now.

And some new eyes are ripening as well,

[inhale] though it's unclear which side they'll end up on...

Wait!

[gasp]

Uchiha lad...

Let me...give you a jutsu.

A jutsu...?

That's right...Madara has stolen my Sage Jutsu Chakra...

This jutsu will react to the Sage Jutsu Chakra and bind him.

Then you can use it yourself...

As a Reanimation, you'll recover fast.

I can pull those out of you, if you want me to.

These rods appear to be piercing my Chakra Points, and they're preventing me from infusing more chakra now.

Also, I think it's a bad idea for you yo touch them.

Now,...I'll give you all of my remaining chakra.

So stop Madara.

Why ask an Uchiha?

You're quire a lot like him...

Madara's...younger brother,...Izuna Uchiha.

Yeah, so what? What does that have to do with me stopping Madara?

Madara is fundamentally kind.

He was a devout man who loved his siblings very deeply. That's the reason why he gave you a chance at redemption.

Although, with an eye like that, killing you would be such a waste.

How about...

...putting your blade down and joining up with me, as a fellow surviving Uchiha.

Oh, please. Make no mistake,...in my mind, you're nothing but a dead man.

[chuckle} Very well, then...But either way, you don't have a whole lot of time left.

You might be able to stop Madara, without using force.

Now,...come stand before me...

[crack]

[thud, grunt]

To be honest...

I have wanted to do this to you or a very long time now.

Since you're...

...the one who killed Izuna!

But you're just a moving corpse, so it's hardly fulfilling.

Madara...What do you want so badly that you'd come back to life?

Our era, our time, ended long ago!

All I want to do is build the nation that Hashirama couldn't finish.

However, this world belongs to him, my failed predecessor.

Drastic measures are needed to save the dying patient.

I'm going to go on ahead!

This Infinite Tsukuyomi...That was really your idea, then?

Do you think that it's a cure?

That's right. Hashirama's nation building bore a paradox.

People desire peace...

And yet, on the other hand, they crave conflict as well.

That duality is mankind for you...To want only peace and to discard only conflict...

...would, in fact, cause people to stop being people.

And those two things stand together side by side.

I won't forgive anyone who would dare to threaten the village.

Be they friend, sibling, or even my own child.

People will sacrifice something in order to protect something else.

Except in a true and perfect dream world.

You do have a point, there.

However,...it's not a dream for you...

...to meddle with!

[clink, swish]

Now!

[sigh]

[clunk, grunt]

You could say...

...that this world is Hashirama's paradox world.

Damn it!

What...is this?!

So in order to protect something...something else gets sacrificed.

Stop, Madara! Enough!

Don't go any further!

Be they...

...a close friend or a sibling, or even if they were my very own child...

[groan]

Honestly, I gave you plenty of time.

And I even warned you that you didn't have a whole lot of it left.

How unfortunate.

Madara!

What kind of man are you?!

[spluttering]

Here it comes!

[slamming, yelling]

[smash]

[bash, thudding]

[growl]

[pow, scream]

My jutsu won't activate!

And my chakra is--!

I can't believe that we've been stopped by the likes of him...!

Not good...that weird guy's still blocking our way!

He's using Wood Style! Who is he?!

I told you...I wouldn't let you get beyond this point easily.

Plus,...is there seriously no one out there who can give me an answer to my question?

I asked you...what does it feel like to poo?

Well,...I bet it's like the refreshing feeling you get after killing someone.

Five chakra natures, all at one time?!

How do we counter that?

Yes, I see that!

[boom]

Impressive...Using the same jutsu simultaneously as a counterattack...

[inhale and exhale] We're saved.

[chuckle] Yeah! Don't you dare undersestimate Lord Third!

Then again, everyone's exhausted most of their chakra.

The reanimated Lord Third is the only one who's really still ableto fight...

If Lord Third goes down, we're toast...Forget Madara...We need to do something about him.

To be honest, everyone needs to start fighting as if Lady Tsunade, Shizune, and I aren't able to use

Medical Ninjitsu anymore.

We've been using big attacks in this large-scale battle for too long. And we haven't had a chance to regroup!

We'll just have to trust young Naruto to take care of Madara.

This could be our big chance, Lor Orochimaru!

Not yet.

This enemy...

No way! No...!

Hey, shut up!

This just- It can't be!

What is it?

Sa-...Sa-

Something happened to Sasuke?!

It seems I should jump in sooner after all...

[gasp]

Ino, what is it?

[gasp] Naruto...!

Huh?

What's that?!

I think it's Lord Gaara!

There they are.

Naruto!

There's no time to explain right now.

Hokage, you must come with me!

Try to heal him as much as you can en route.

I don't have enough chakra left to perform Medical Ninjutsu.

Take Sakura instead.

I think she should be able to help some.

What happened over there?!

Naruto!

How did he end up like this?!

Just come!

Don't waste time! I'll explain later!

Sakura, get up on the sand!

Right!

What's going on now?

Is Naruto nearby?

Yeah! he's over there! Hey, wait, can't you use your Byakugan to see?

He took Madara down?

[gasps]

Naruto's heartbeat is...

...getting weaker and weaker!

Naruto!

[thud, heaving sobs]

Brother Neji,...please protect Naruto!

Naruto Uzumaki...

Hmm?

He'll stubbornly cling to life for a bit, since he's an Uzumaki.

But trying to heal him now is completely useless.

A Jinchuriki dies when the Tailed Beast is extracted.

Can't get around that. It's an absolute rule!

[kaboom]

[thud]

The simple fact that you possess such eyes...

...proves that you've continued to seek something despite many great losses.

[groan]

But all of that ends right here.

You shall lose your very self.

You see, this is what they call a true ending.

[moaning]

I have...

...always lied to you and asked...

...for your forgiveness while keeping you at a distance.

Because I wanted to keep you out of this.

But now, I think...

That perhaps you...could have changed Father,...Mother,...and the rest of the Uchiha as well.

No matter what, I will love you always.

[thud]

[groaning]

[plop]

I'm not dying.

I can't...

...die yet.

[yelling]

[plop]

[clunk]

I can't allow Itachi's life...to have-[groan]

No matter what darkness or contradictions lie within the Village...

I'm still Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf!

...been in vain!

Until I build...a true village...And become a true Kage...

I am not-

I'm not gonna die!

Hang in there! Don't give up!

You are so strong! You'll make it! I know that you will!

[crying]

My chakra's almost all...!

[whimpering] Sa-...Sasuke is--!

What's the matter, Karin?

Sasuke is really gonna-!

At this rate...

At this rate, Naruto is going to...

...Die!

To think Naruto would end up like this...!

Sakura,...I leave Naruto in your hands!

He's always been our village's symbol of hope.

Everyone always seems to keep Naruto in their thoughts while they're training!

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The New Chunin Exams."

Yes, ever since that time...
