Original subtitles

One of the legendary Sannin... Jiraiya is no more...

If we didn't have this secret, we could not have won.

Let us praise him as our teacher.

By the way... you can come out.

Sure took you a while.

His opponent was Jiraiya, after all.

That was some interference we got.

I'm under orders from Madara to capture the Nine-Tails.

Well then... I'd love to see the Nine-Tails captured,

so let's go together.

No! I'm going to watch another battle.

- What? - Shut up!

Which battle is that?

The battle between...

I wonder if Sasuke is okay...

What do you mean?

What if the first Akatsuki hideout is a bull's-eye?

Are you saying Itachi is inside this hideout?

I said, "what if?"

This Itachi is supposed to be really strong, right?

There's no way that Sasuke could lose to...

Maybe we should be thinking about a worst-case scenario.

Sasuke...

I'm going to check out the inside from here.

If anything happens, we're going in!

Huh? Why're you taking over all of a sudden?

When it comes to Sasuke, you go overboard.

Th-That's not true...!

I'm not going... You idiot!

Then I'll ask the birds to scour the area

and look out for the enemy's approach.

Geez... Both of you...

They're so diligent.

This one's a fake too...

I'm chasing after Sasuke's scent, yet...

It seems the enemy is one step ahead of us.

That's why we're compensating for their diversions with numbers!

We've checked this side thoroughly.

We should report this to the original.

What's wrong, Naruto?

The south forest only had dummies.

I see.

Why so depressed?!

You never give up. Isn't that your ninja way?!

He's right, Naruto!

All right!

I'll use the chakra I've restored to increase the Shadow Clones.

I'm counting on you all!

- Leave it to us! - Leave it to us!

So you've come...

Who's there?!

It's me...Sasuke.

You've grown a bit taller.

And you're still the same. Even those cold eyes...

Not going to scream and attack like you did before?

It's just as you said...

I've hated you...and resented you...

for the singular purpose of killing you, I...

I...

have lived my life!

Chidori?

I will kill you!

Die!

You don't know a thing about me...

How much hatred I carry inside me...

And how strong I have become because of that hatred.

You don't know me at all.

You've become...strong.

Come to the Uchiha hideout alone.

I'll let you settle things there.

Sasuke!

I told you not to move until you received orders.

Karin said she sensed another chakra, so we were worried.

Feathers?

Follow me. Let's go!

Banquet Invitation

He's coming along nicely. Now...

Will you still emerge as a snake? Or will you transform into a hawk?

We shall see, Sasuke...

The same chakra is all over the place!

What's going on?!

Should we change course, Sasuke?

Ignore it. We'll forge straight ahead.

Good. Taking the long way would've been tiring.

Sasuke!

What was that?!

A Shadow Clone.

Naruto, eh?

What a pest.

Multi-Shadow Clones... I get it now...

The same chakra I sense all over the place belongs to him.

Found him!

Good job!

Which way?!

This way!

I'm not letting you get away this time, Sasuke!

What is this?!

A humongous chakra! And it's fast! In coming!!

You're...!

Only Sasuke may go beyond this point.

It's Itachi's orders.

The rest of you are welcome to wait here.

All right. Besides, we were only traveling as a platoon

in order to prevent interference for my showdown...

This will do.

No, you can't, Sasuke!

Let's take him down and go in together!

I have no intention of fighting.

But if you insist on going with him, I will show no mercy.

Karin... Stay put. This is my vendetta.

Kisame Hoshigaki... And the Great Shark Skin Sword...

Hmm?

Have you forgotten me?

I'm Suigetsu Hozuki, the younger bother of Mangetsu Hozuki.

Oh... I didn't recognize you! You've grown, Suigetsu.

I don't want to just wait around for Sasuke...

Will you let me kill some time

and have some fun with you, Kisame Senpai?!

Unlike your brother, you're quite cocky, aren't you?

Maybe I should grind you down a bit.

Suigetsu... Shouldn't we abide by Sasuke's orders?

Don't be stupid! You blockhead!

This way, guys!

Wait! Naruto...

This chakra...

Howdy!

What the-?!

Well now... How's it going there, there, and there?

Imagine running into the Hidden Leaf in a place like this...

I mean... It's two, four, six...

Eight against one. Such bad timing.

That robe... You're a member of the Akatsuki!

Though he wasn't on the list that Kabuto left us.

Oh, I'm a newbie. Nice to meet you.

Hah! Think you're funny?! Don't waste our time!

Don't be rash. Study the situation first.

Right now, we have him outnumbered.

Oh dear... Am I being underestimated?

By you guys?

So this is an Akatsuki member...

Another weirdo...

They keep getting between us and Sasuke over and over again!

Don't get in our way!

A Shadow Clone?!

Just kidding...

It seems you're more proficient with the blade than that kid.

Kid?!

You mean, Zabuza Senpai?

My Great Shark Skin Sword was never intended for dueling, you know!

Same here. This one's...

for killing!

Tsk! Have fun? As if! They're dead serious!

Hey! Jugo... Tell him...

It's okay... The birds are telling me

there's no one nearby who will interfere with their fighting.

Geez... What if something happens to Sasuke

while these idiots are going at it?

Even the Hidden Leaf are in pursuit!

The Hidden Leaf have stopped?

You're so full of yourself!

Just what can a kid like you do?!

Naruto...

Thank goodness...

Hinata!

Naruto can handle the damage!

Don't take your eyes off the enemy!

Hmm? Are you guys analyzing my strength right now?

The Hidden Leaf are very shrewd...

But for a newbie, I'm pretty good... don't you think?

He's dodged every one of Naruto's attacks.

He's toying with us. But what is he after?

Tsk! He has a tad more power in wielding the blade.

Well then...!

Such a monotone effort.

I take back what I said about you being better than Zabuza.

Eat this!

Almost got you there, didn't I?

What are you so excited about? Is it your snack time?

What?!

My chakra... But I didn't use up that much yet!

My Shark Skin Sword grinds and absorbs chakra.

I thought you would be more observant.

Care for another taste?

Why you...!

Now then... What shall we play, Hidden Leaf folks?

We don't have time to waste on the likes of you!

He's right!

That's because we have to go after Sasuke.

Shino, you didn't get to go on the last mission to retrieve Sasuke!

We're counting on you this time!

Our bond, is it?

All right...everyone. Let's end this quickly.

We'll go with Formation B, everyone.

Roger!

- Right! - Yes sir!

Ohh? Seems you're serious. Well, I'd better get fired up.

You jerk... Quit kidding around!

Naruto, concentrate on the formation!

Yeah, I know.

Let's do it. Kiba, are you ready on your side?

Anytime. Right, Akamaru?!

Then here goes!

Oh my, so high... That girl has such brute power.

Oops! They distracted me with the decoy... And now those three are surrounding me!

I don't know which one to dodge!

S-Say, that's no fair!

- No time for you to look! - Oh dear...

What...?

Cha! Cha!

Olé!

Three against one?! You Hidden Leaf cowards!

Rasengan!

You weren't the decoy?

You got me...!

Not!

Ninja Art! Blockade Jutsu!

Cripes... You said you were going to do it all together...

And I believed you!

Don't stop, everyone!

Separate and force your way through!

Oh dear! N-Ninja Art... Umm... Geez!

What kind of jutsu is that?

I got it! I'm going to name this jutsu...

Ninja Art: Whack-A-Mole Jutsu!

Except the roles for hitting are reversed...

Senpai...

I know...

Unless we finish him off for good, he won't let us move forward.

Damn it!

Say say... What shall we play next?

We can't be wasting time in a place like this!

I know that. We'll go with Battle Formation A next.

Just a bit longer... You just wait, Itachi!

My foolish little brother...

So you've finally arrived before me.

It seems you've been waiting for this moment...

But the same goes for me.

Come...!

Recreate my death as you've seen it.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Longest Moment..."

How far do you see ahead?

COMMEMORATING THE 350TH EPISODE W-Welcome to the party.

It will begin shortly, so please come this way.

In commemoration of passing the 350th episode...

Hold it!

What are...you doing?!

Why didn't you guys invite me, the main character?!

Well, you weren't in Episode 350.

Th-That was just by coincidence...

Huh? Really?

You weren't in Episode 100 or Episode 300 either.

Shut up! I don't want to be told by a newcomer like you

who started from Episode 252!

For a main character,

you don't seem to have much luck with milestone episodes.

Maybe you're not so popular?

I don't want to be told by you!

But having no lines in a milestone episode is pretty sad

for a main character.

Not you too, Sakura...

So here's a toast! Cheers!

- Cheers! Congratulations! - Damn it!

N-Naruto...

Ch-Cheer up!

You're not helping me here...

Tune in again!
