Here?
The trail of the ninja with Kekkei Genkai ends here.
What?
Sai!
Come back, Naruto!
We're continuing on with our mission!
I'm not gonna leave Sai behind!
Naruto!
Sai!
Sai, hang in there.
KAGE BUNSHIN no Justu!
RAIKIRI! (Lightning Blade)
Cha!
How's Sai? Is he okay?
What are you doing, Sakura?
Just look at that injury of yours!
If you're gonna run off, at least think of some kind of plan beforehand!
You careless, reckless idiot!
He's a lot like you. Don't you think, Obito?
Naruto Shippuuden: THE WILL OF FIRE
We chased after the four ninja with Kekkei Genkai
who disappeared from each of the major villages.
All trails led here...
at Mt. Shumisen in the Konrin Range on the border
of the Hidden Stone Village in the Land of Earth,
and Hidden Grass Village.
Good work.
What would you have us do?
We'll handle the rest. Don't worry.
If another Kekkei Genkai ninja were to be targeted,
then it would most likely be...
What is it?
Nothing.
How are they?
Yes, we forced them to go to the hospital.
Are they really the types to stay quietly in bed?
Yum!
Don't eat so much, Choji.
Asuma Sensei wouldn't say something so stingy like that...
You're not the guest of honor today.
And anyway, if you eat so much you'll get fa...
Shikamaru!
Fine, this one's on me.
Don't mind if I do!
Why are you all here?
Why? It's because we heard there was a party
to celebrate Naruto and Sai's recovery.
Same for me.
We heard from Hinata.
As did I!
Naruto told me to tell everyone...
Why that... I thought I'd try and keep it small and private!
Well, now I'm definitely splitting up this tab.
Oh yeah... So where are the guests of honor?
Thanks for waiting!
I see the gang's all here!
This isn't right, Naruto. We haven't been discharged yet...
Oh, whatever.
Hey, don't go inviting extra people.
If it's a party, then the more the merrier!
Ain't that right, Sai?
Oh, my I.V.!
Everyone, this is a party to celebrate our recovery!
Eat up! 'Cause Shikamaru's covering the bill!
Hey, I never agreed to...
- Thanks, Shikamaru! - Thanks, Shikamaru!
Okay, time for us to eat, too.
Why, you two...
Okay.
All finished.
Sakura, we're injured, you know.
Obviously not injured enough to stop you from going out to eat BBQ.
That was in place of your real punishment.
If that hurt, then get back into bed.
That's Naruto for you... He always heals quickly.
Why is she so angry?
Hey. You look like you're in good spirits.
Oh, Kakashi Sensei!
Did you come to visit us?
Sort of.
Figured you would be bored, cooped up in the hospital.
Here.
Thank you.
A GIRL'S FEELINGS
"Girls hide their true feelings of worry by
purposefully getting angry and being violent?"
This is going to be very helpful.
And for me?
You don't read books.
Instead, you can have this.
Huh? What's that?
What are those?
There are two bells.
The objective is to take them from me by noon.
Katon: GOUKARYU no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)
Sakura and Sasuke disobeyed Kakashi Sensei
and let me eat lunch.
But he found out, and I thought we were totally gonna fail.
You pass.
But Kakashi Sensei passed us.
In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum.
But, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.
I'll never forget what Kakashi Sensei taught me that day.
Oh...
You weren't taught that?
In Anbu Black Ops, as long as it's to complete the mission,
abandoning your partners is acceptable occasionally.
You really had a dark childhood...
But why'd you give these to me?
As you can see, I kind of crushed 'em.
So I'd like you to fix them.
What?
I'm counting on you.
Now then, I'm in a bit of a hurry. Good luck with the bells.
H-Hey, wait! Kakashi Sensei!
Later.
How am I supposed to fix these?
You should just fix them yourself, Kakashi Sensei!
The Leaf's Anbu Black Ops?
Worry not. There are no ninja that can reach us.
That's it? Your attributes are Earth Style.
The time has come.
Lady Tsunade!
What is it, Shizune?
Have you heard back from the Anbu we sent to Mt. Shumisen?
No! But anyway, look at the sky!
My name is that of a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, Hiruko!
What?
That shouldn't be. Hiruko could not still be a child...
What in the world?
Using our Chimera Jutsu, four of the Kekki Genkai from
each of the great ninja villages are already mine.
When I obtain the final, fifth Kekki Genkai,
I will become invincible... a perfect, immortal ninja.
With that power I will start the Fourth Great Ninja War,
and rule over everything.
Today, as of now, our village is placed under martial law!
As you are all aware,
a ninja named Hiruko has declared war on the world.
And thusly, our village is placed in a position
more dangerous than it has ever been.
We could be attacked at any moment by the other villages.
Be prepared.
Naruto, it seems like there's a lot going on in the village.
Where is the Kazekage? Why isn't Gaara here yet?
The delegation has already left the Hidden Village of the Sand,
so they should be on a nearby ridge.
They should arrive in another half hour.
Lady Tsunade?
This incident is already beyond the Leaf's reach alone.
We need your cooperation.
The Five Great Nations that rule the continent.
Each have their own Hidden Village.
They are prepared for an invasion from any of the other countries.
And our Land of Fire is the most powerful,
under protection by the Hidden Village of the Leaf since long ago.
And yet, there is suspicion of a coup d'état,
and we have reports that the other countries are preparing for battle,
and their ninja villages are heading to our borders to invade.
This puts extreme strain on the relationship of trust
between our county and the Leaf.
Please wait!
It is true that a ninja named Hiruko studied the Chimera Jutsu
at our village without permission some years ago.
But he has long since left the village!
We don't need an explanation!
Bring the true culprit to light, and solve this problem!
And if you cannot,
the Hidden Village of the Leaf will be eradicated.
Prove your innocence immediately.
That is the only way you have to continue
the Hidden Leaf's existence.
Gaara!
Lady Tsunade.
It seems that the delegation from the Hidden Sand
has been caught in a large rock fall.
What?
This was found at the scene.
Lady Tsunade...
A storm is coming.
What I feared the most...
The start of the Fourth Great Ninja War!
With just my Chimera Jutsu, I can't engulf the Kekkei Genkai.
A special Jutsu Formula is necessary.
The Jutsu Formula for the first four Kekkei Genkai has already been performed.
However, in order to obtain the fifth Kekkei Genkai's wielder,
I must complete the requirements for Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The first, Heaven, is a solar eclipse.
The second, Earth, is Mt. Shumisen.
And the third, Man...
If I can take in that person's Kekkei Genkai,
I will construct a harmony of the five elements within myself,
become immortal, and complete myself as the perfect ninja.
The fifth ninja who possesses a suitable Kekkei Genkai.
I've left you for last.
Since you're an old friend, after all.
It's been a long time, Kakashi Hatake.
You're... Hiruko!
What is it?
The seal has appeared.
What?
He... It seems Hiruko had already chosen my Sharingan
as the fifth Kekkei Genkai ten years ago.
At some point, he already cast a Puppet Master Jutsu Formula on me.
But why? Is this a plan of revenge on the Leaf Village?
If that's the case, then I should take the blame as well!
I will not hand you over to Hiruko!
No. Please let me go.
It doesn't matter what you say.
From Anbu's reports, he has perfected the Jutsu Formula
for changing Ninja Arts into chakra and absorbing them.
So no matter how skilled a ninja, no one can get near him!
He's basically invincible!
If that's the case,
why is he only calling out ninja with Kekkei Genkai?
I suspect that there are some special requirements
for absorbing Kekkei Genkai.
Why is he calling for me now?
I've heard that there's a special type of light that's needed.
Year of Hurricanes Solar Eclipse (Spring Tide)
Two days from now, a solar eclipse will occur.
That's likely it. We don't have much time.
Lady Tsunade, I have a Jutsu Formula that I'd like you to apply on me.
It is the only way to defeat Hiruko.
Kakashi, you are saying you would have me go down in history as
the Hokage who sacrificed her subordinate in order to protect the village?
Yes, you will.
That is your Will of Fire, Lady Tsunade.
ASUMA SARUTOBI
Asuma... The village is facing an unprecedented crisis right now.
I wasn't able to beat you at Shogi, huh?
Ah yes, the story about the King.
I'll tell you who that is.
Lend me your ear...
Asuma, is that why you...?
I'm counting on you, Shikamaru.
Now it's my turn.
The King you gave your life to protect...
I'll protect it, no matter what!
Obito... Rin...
I wasn't able to protect you.
But I will protect the Hidden Village of the Leaf.
No matter what.
Kakashi Sensei... Coming to see someone?
Yeah, something like that.
And you? Coming to see Asuma?
Yes...
In order to follow through on the words that Asuma left with me,
I will put my life on the line to protect the Leaf Village.
That's all.
So that's your Will of Fire?
You've become an excellent ninja.
What is it?
I was wondering if you'd give Naruto a message for me.
Just tell it to him directly yourself.
Yeah, see... I can't do that.
You're getting me wrapped up in more trouble, aren't you?
Always with the severe attitude...
You sure about this?
Sneaking out of the hospital at a time like this?
While I was in the hospital,
things have gotten pretty bad out there in the world.
This isn't the time to be sleeping!
Thanks for the food, pops!
Kakashi Sensei?
We're under martial law.
We can't even allow you to pass through, Kakashi.
Kakashi Sensei!
What's the matter?
Can't you hear me?
Wait, Naruto.
Out of the way, Shikamaru. Kakashi Sensei's acting weird!
KAGEMANE no Jutsu! (Shadow Possession Jutsu)
What are you doing?
I've got a message from Kakashi Sensei.
He said: "Even if I disappear from this village, don't come after me."
What?
What do you know?
I can't tell you.
But as a ninja of the Leaf,
it's our code that we follow the orders of the village.
Why, you...!
I can't let him go!
If it's for the village, he would give up his own life.
That's Kakashi Sensei's Will of Fire.
Sensei...
Kakashi Sensei!
Kakashi Hatake has left the village.
From today on,
he no longer has any connection with the Leaf Village.
No matter what may happen,
Kakashi is no longer any of your concern!
And that includes going after him, which will not be permitted.
Spread the word to every unit!
But, Lady Tsunade...
Dismissed!
You stay here, Shikamaru.
We need to talk.
Right...
Just as Kakashi Sensei said, Naruto tried to go after him.
I've locked him up in a cell for now, but...
That idiot! How pointless...
This thing with Kakashi Sensei
is related to that giant illusion the other day, isn't it?
When he left the village,
it was clear that someone was controlling him.
But he prepared himself and accepted it willingly.
And why? Because there was no other way to defeat the enemy.
Am I wrong?
As usual, you have a sharp mind.
And you approved of this, Lady Tsunade?
Yes. I ordered him to die for his village.
Let me out!
Give me a break! Open this cell!
I've gotta go after Kakashi Sensei!
I've got to take him back!
Damn it!
Somebody, please come here! Is there anyone there?
Why? Why can't I?
Why won't anyone understand?
Kakashi Sensei...
Sakura!
Naruto, why are you in here?
I don't know.
I was just trying to bring Kakashi Sensei back
because he was acting weird.
Lady Tsunade said that he left the village,
and that we shouldn't concern ourselves with him.
What? That's not right!
It looked like someone was controlling Kakashi Sensei.
Giving up on a person when they're like that...
That Granny Tsunade is acting weird too!
It must have something to do with that illusion from earlier.
Oh yeah...
Kakashi Sensei said not to go after him, no matter what,
and that he'd protect the village even if it cost him his life,
because that was his Will of Fire.
Then that means he's risking his life alone to solve this crisis!
Then that's exactly why we can't let him go do it by himself!
But, Lady Tsunade...
Sakura...
Can you see the bells by my feet?
Kakashi Sensei gave them to me.
You remember, right? What he taught us then?
In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum.
But, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.
I just want to protect my friends!
Always... Even with Sasuke...
This time, I want to bring Kakashi Sensei back home.
That's all I want!
Naruto... This is the only thing I'll ever ask of you...
Bring Sasuke back!
I'll bring Sasuke back, no matter what!
That's the one promise I'll make in my life.
Naruto, thank you!
Naruto, can you protect Kakashi Sensei?
Can you get to Kakashi Sensei by your own hand?
Yes, I'm sure!
This time, no doubt, I'll protect him!
Naruto...
Why'd you try going after him by yourself?
You should have called out to me,
one of the original Team Kakashi, from the start.
Uh, Sakura...
Cha!
You're going overboard!
I see...
Lady Tsunade!
Naruto Uzumaki has broken out of his cell!
What?
It seems like Sakura helped him.
If it's not one, it's the other...
Lady Fifth, will you leave this to me?
They're a lot of trouble, but this is a job for me.
Understood.
You handle Naruto and Sakura, Shikamaru.
I see everyone's gathered.
Per Lady Tsunade's orders, we are going to bring Naruto and Sakura back.
Wait a second! What's the meaning of this?
You heard Lady Tsunade's orders.
Naruto and Sakura have disobeyed them and gone after Kakashi Sensei.
Why did Lady Tsunade order us not to go after Kakashi Sensei?
I'd think it would only be natural that
the two members of Team Kakashi go after him.
Don't ask about the details.
You say that, but I'm not satisfied!
Lee, leave it alone.
If it's an order from the Hokage,
then I will follow Shikamaru as the team captain.
But...
I will also comply. Why you ask?
Because that is the code of Leaf Village.
Anyway, we don't have much time.
I'll tell you the formations while we're on the move.
Let's go.
The Hidden Sand is moving forward!
Go!
We can finally meet again, Kakashi.
You should go meet our honored guest.
If anyone tries to get in your way, I don't care, just eliminate them.
Yes.
Kakashi Sensei!
Wait!
You guys?
Naruto, Sakura, under the rules,
I must bring you two back to the village.
Someone is controlling Kakashi Sensei!
That's why he left the village!
Please, let Naruto go.
No. Lady Tsunade said to not bother ourselves with Hatake Kakashi.
It's the Hokage's orders.
Yeah, it's true. Those who disobey the rules of the village are scum.
But!
For our very first lesson, Kakashi Sensei taught us this.
That those who don't treasure their friends are even worse than scum!
I don't wanna be worse than scum!
Um, is it true that someone is controlling Kakashi Sensei?
Yeah... Kakashi Sensei let himself be controlled by the enemy on purpose
to get himself inside.
If I had known that, I would have done the same thing Naruto had!
As would I!
I'd do the same if I could.
But there's no other way to save the village...
Diffusion!
Now's our chance, Naruto!
Right!
Why those little...
Neji, I leave this here to Team One.
Right. We'll keep him busy.
Hold it. I've got business here. I can't let you through.
Kuchiyose: SOUTOUJA! (Summoning: Double-headed Snake)
DAKOUMOU! (Snake Net)
What's that?
Whatever, let's go!
Kunai Bomb!
Be careful! His chakra level isn't something to be trifled with!
It looks like you're actually pretty capable.
Another gate?
Kakashi Sensei must have passed through here.
You're finally here.
My two cuties here have been waiting.
To pay you back for the last time!
Excellent. I've got my own score to settle!
You should keep those pets of yours on a leash.
Oh, looks like those aren't normal dogs.
What do you think, Hinata?
I can see the same type of chakra flow as in trained ninja hounds.
It's clear that they are not normal dogs.
Why, you ask? Because they do not look like normal dogs.
Don't go stepping over our cool lines!
Naruto! Sakura!
I don't know whether what you're trying to do is right or not.
But...
I understand how you feel.
Naruto, Sakura... I don't think you're wrong!
Kiba, Hinata...
I said we've been waiting impatiently! Hurry up and come at me!
Putting aside my personal opinion, we will keep them busy here.
Why, you ask?
Because we have a beast specialist in our team.
Let's go, Akamaru!
Jinjuu Konbi Henge! (Man-Beast Transformation)
GAROUGA! (Fang Over Fang)
Fools!
Now, go!
Kiba...
Hey wait, Naruto!
Sorry, Kiba!
Leave the rest to us.
What are you doing? Go after them!
It's no use.
All that's left is their master.
Right.
My... servants...
How dare you!
Summoning!
CHIMERA Jutsu!
Here she comes.
Now, it really begins!
Naruto! Listen to me!
The enemy's coming at us one after another!
That just proves that Kakashi Sensei is crucial to them!
In other words, it's exactly as Kakashi Sensei planned.
We should follow his plan!
Who cares? That doesn't matter.
He just doesn't get it!
I want to save Kakashi Sensei, too!
But I can't sacrifice everyone in the village for that!
I'll leave them with that for a greeting.
Next, I'll aim straight at them.
Whose blood should I spill?
Naruto, Sakura, get on!
Sai!
They left us behind.
Sai, damn you.
Blinding me won't help for long!
Seems there are less of them now...
What should we do, Shikamaru?
I doubt he'd believe us if we said we're not the enemy.
Then, let us start again.
In this case, we have no choice but to beat him.
But we can't take too long.
The air currents are unstable.
We should land soon.
Got it!
Sai, thanks for coming!
You saved us!
I'm a member of Team Kakashi too, after all.
Can I join you?
Of course! Right, Naruto?
Yeah. Anyone who obeys Kakashi Sensei's teachings is a member of Team Kakashi!
I knew it.
A GIRL'S FEELINGS
- "A Girl's Feelings"? - "A Girl's Feelings"?
It says in this book that chasing after someone in times like this
will certainly illicit appreciation by that person.
We got excited for nothing...
You dropped your book.
That's some decent defense you have.
But just defending won't defeat me!
Then, I will be your opponent!
JASENSHI! (Snake Rapid Thorn)
KAITEN! (Rotation)
There'll be no end to this.
We've got to find some way to attack and defend at the same time.
My Kaiten and his Jasenshi are about the same.
Unless I can increase my speed, I can't attack!
Lee! Use Primary Lotus against me!
Tenten, cover us!
Roger!
Primary Lotus?
Understood!
It's no use!
I won't let you interfere!
Here we go! OMOTE RENGE! (Primary Lotus)
HAKKESHOU KAITEN! (Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation)
Don't underestimate me!
What?
Take this!
You think you can keep up with our speed with such a big body?
You pet dog of the Leaf!
Die!
That's a cheap trick.
It looks like Kiba and Hinata got your attention,
and you forgot about me.
Thanks to them, I've had plenty of time to work.
You think a pitfall will hold me?
Is my presence that hard to notice?
Bugs?
MUSHIDAMA! (Beetle Sphere)
It's been a while, but let's go!
Ino-Shika-Cho Formation!
Okay!
CHOU BAIKA no Justu! (Super Expansion Jutsu)
SHINTENSHIN no Jutsu! (Mind Transfer Jutsu)
Good. It's over.
Ino, tell him.
Tell him that our job is to bring back Naruto and Sakura
and we don't need to fight him.
Then get from him where Kakashi is going.
I know, but...
I won't tell you so easily!
What?
Shikamaru!
Get back, Choji!
Summoning Jutsu!
Now?
What?
CHIMERA Jutsu!
What's that?
Doesn't look like my message got through to him.
Hey! I said it before, but we're not your enemy!
The first one to escape? That's so like you, Gaara.
If it's a ninja with the Will of Fire like Kakashi,
he'd give his life trying to save the Leaf, wouldn't he?
And that will defeat Hiruko?
Yes.
Either Kakashi will defeat him, or perhaps one other...
Naruto might be able to defeat him.
Naruto?
He still has a long way to go as a ninja.
But when it comes to perseverance and never giving up,
he's the one man who can follow my way of the ninja.
It's up to you to believe in him or not.
Lady Tsunade, please pull back! You'll be targeted!
I know that!
Now, now, hold it there!
Villagers of the Hidden Sand, your Kazekage is safe!
I came to show you proof!
That's...
Halt! Lord Kazekage has ordered a cease-fire!
Roger!
Jiraiya! Where is Gaara now?
Where is he? Even I don't know that.
What's with this sandstorm?
My eyes hurt...
Gaara!
You've come?
Naruto, I can't let you past here.
That would go against Kakashi's wishes.
Gaara...
What are you saying? I can't just leave him alone!
Don't you understand Kakashi's feelings?
Don't get in our way!
Naruto!
We'll help too!
You guys go ahead!
But...
Don't let... Kakashi Sensei go on his own, no matter what!
Why are you getting in our way?
You said this once...
You wouldn't let the people near you get hurt.
That you would even give your life to protect them.
Kakashi is sacrificing himself to protect everyone!
That's no good! He can't!
I won't let Kakashi Sensei do that!
I won't let anyone become a sacrifice!
That's merely an idealistic theory.
We are too weak to turn that ideal into reality.
I am the Kazekage of the Village Hidden in the Sand!
Right now, everyone's lives are depending on me.
I won't be swayed by your ideals!
Why can't you understand?
Kakashi Sensei's life... The lives of the villagers...
I... I can't balance the two!
I want...
to protect Kakashi Sensei!
Why won't you understand?
I have no opportunity to unleash my Parasitic Insects.
Tenten, can you shoot out a chain?
Sure.
What are you going to do?
First, we stop it from flapping its wings.
Scatter!
Good! Everyone pull the chains at once!
Its feathers are paper bombs. What a pain!
Shikamaru, you go after Naruto!
It'll take us a while to defeat this thing, even with all of us.
Besides, we can all guess what you're thinking.
I understand Naruto's feelings.
However, to a ninja of the village, the Hokage's orders are absolute.
Leave this to us!
Go, Shikamaru!
Help Naruto!
While we've got this guy tied down...
Shikamaru!
Protect the village!
You guys...
Man, what a drag!
I'll leave the rest to you!
Damn it...
Gaara!
Naruto left.
Don't tell me even you couldn't stop him?
I heard most of it from Jiraiya.
Thinking logically, Kakashi's plan is the only way to defeat the enemy.
Of course.
It's been a while but after I clashed with him,
I felt Naruto's passionate heart.
Not a bit of his perseverance and Ninja Way wavered,
even for a second.
And I understand why Jiraiya feels Naruto could make it possible.
Sometimes I'm jealous of people who only follow their heart.
But this isn't the time for that.
Asama entrusted this to me, that I must protect the King:
The future of the Village... The children!
I'm going to stop Naruto! Even if I have to kill him.
This is...
From back then...
Where have you gone, Kakashi Sensei?
Sakura, what's the matter?
Look at that!
Kakashi Sensei!
Why aren't you stopping him?
Calling out to him isn't going to help.
It looks like Kakashi has fallen completely under the enemy's jutsu.
Kakashi Sensei!
Kakashi Sensei, answer me!
You know who I am, right?
Hold it!
What's this?
It's a Timed Jutsu Formula.
For example, even if he faints from torture,
the jutsu will go off automatically.
Isn't that basically like being a living time bomb?
That's hardly used, even in the Anbu Black Ops.
A true last resort.
Then Kakashi Sensei willingly...?
That's right.
Shikamaru! You knew from the start?
Yeah. And the one who placed the jutsu is Lady Hokage!
When the enemy tries to absorb Kakashi Sensei,
in the instant he's defenseless,
the Mangekyo Sharingan will activate,
and that will destroy the enemy who can absorb any type of Ninja Art.
It's the only way.
Granny Tsunade was ready to sacrifice Kakashi Sensei from the very start?
I can't believe it...
Do you understand?
That's Kakashi Sensei's Will of Fire!
That... That...
I won't let him!
Naruto! Kakashi Sensei can't hear your voice!
I'll make him hear it!
Wait!
Kakashi Sensei!
It's been a while, Kakashi Hatake.
I've been waiting, impatiently. Soon the solar eclipse will start.
It's you?
You're the one who did this to Kakashi Sensei?
Why?! What do you have against the Leaf village?
There was once a man named Hiruko in the Leaf.
That man dreamed of a day like today,
and cast the cursed Puppet Master Jutsu on Kakashi long, long ago.
Hiruko was best friends with Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru...
The Legendary Sannin.
But unlike them, he did not possess exceptional talents as a ninja.
In order to compensate for his own physical weakness,
he absorbed himself in research,
and tried to perfect the Body Synthesis jutsu, the CHIMERA.
That was during the Third Great Ninja War.
In that war, the battle at Kannabi Bridge was said to be especially fierce.
My eye!
Kakashi, are you okay?
How? You shouldn't be able to see me...
Everyone, run to the exit.
The blind spot on my left eye...
Are you okay? Rin? Kakashi?
Obito!
Kakashi Hatake returned from that battle.
I was surprised.
Kakashi had taken the power of the Kekkei Genkai,
the Sharingan, from Obito Uchiha who was killed in the battle.
I thought... That's it!
If I could use the Chimera Jutsu to make the Kekkei Genkai mine,
I could become strong like Jiraiya and Tsunade and Orochimaru!
However...
The Hokage found out about my research and tried to eliminate me!
So you were also a ninja of the Leaf?
This is where Hiruko...
Show yourself already!
Kakashi, now come.
Your Kekkei Genkai is the fifth!
I will finally become an immortal and perfect ninja!
Don't do it, Kakashi Sensei!
It looks like the only way we could stop him is by beating that guy.
Wait!
Don't use Ninja Arts on him!
TAJUU KAGEBUNSHIN no Jutsu!
The first...
Ranton: RAIUNKUUHA! (Gale Style: Thundercloud Void Wave)
RASEN...GAN!
The second, Meiton: KYUUKETSUKOU! (Shade Style: Black Hole)
The Shade Style sucks up chakra!
The third...
With this Steel Style, even blades cannot cut me.
Cha!
The fourth, Jinton! (Quick Style)
Those who rely on brute strength only can't keep up with me!
He can do more than just absorb jutsu!
He can use the four Kekkei Genkai he's absorbed!
Meiton: JAJIMENTO! (Shade Style: Judgment)
That's your chakra.
Do me a favor and stay over there quietly since I just returned it to you.
Now, Kakashi, I will undergo the body synthesis and become a perfect ninja.
Kakashi Sensei...
No... Don't pass through that gate...
It's for the best. There's no other way.
You gave me the clue on how to make my body perfect.
The moon will overshadow that light to create an annularity.
At that moment, the sunlight will possess special powers.
When you are bathed in that light, you will become a part of me,
and I will become a perfect, immortal ninja, Kakashi.
Kakashi Sensei...
Damn it...
I won't let you through here.
You're really persistent. Now move!
I have to protect the King...
The children who are the future of the village!
Yeah, we will!
We'll protect Kakashi Sensei's teachings...
And protect Kakashi Sensei, a member of the village!
We'll protect our village.
And we'll protect our village's friends!
And the children!
Then, why?
I have to protect it...
The most important thing to leave for the future.
The most important thing?
I have to protect a village
that the children can believe and have pride in for the future!
The ones who protect the code of the village are ninja.
The Ninja of the Leaf will give their lives
if it's to protect the village!
But...
Is sacrificing your friends' lives really the way of the village?
Are you okay with that?
If we're saved because of that,
do you think everyone would be happy?
It'd only cause suffering!
That's not the Leaf Village that I love!
I... I want to protect it.
I want to protect the Leaf Village that I love
for the future of the children!
Shikamaru... The "King" is the children of the Leaf,
who are our future.
Please protect the future of
the Hidden Leaf Village that I loved, for these children.
You sure about this, Shikamaru?
He wants to protect the same thing you do, Asuma.
Yeah.
He's trying to leave behind something important to your "King,"
the future of those children.
That's also the Will of Fire...
Asuma...
Naruto!
KAGE NUI no Jutsu! (Shadow Stitching)
Naruto, the Will of Fire has been passed on to you.
Follow your Ninja Way and do what you need to.
Shikamaru...
Got it!
I hear you!
Naruto...
We're counting on you...
You think I'll let you?
So this is what Jiraiya was talking about.
You'll place your fate on him, Leaf Village?
The moon is hiding the sun.
When the ominous light of the solar eclipse shines down on this ground,
the requirements of Heaven, Earth, and Man will be met!
Kakashi Hatake, your Sharingan will become mine!
Stop it!
Don't lay a hand on any of them!
With the power of the light of the solar eclipse,
my synthesized body will be perfected!
Why, you...
You're too late!
Kakashi has become part of me, completely!
Give me a break!
What? What are you doing to me, Kakashi?
How dare you do that inside of my body?
Kakashi Sensei is using his Mangekyo Sharingan
to pull himself into an alternate dimension?
But if he does that, he'll die too!
TAJUU KAGEBUNSHIN no Jutsu!
RASENGAN!
Let's go!
What?
- RASENGAN! - RASENGAN!
I won't let you go anymore!
Sensei... Sensei!
Wake up, Sensei!
Open your eyes, please, Kakashi Sensei!
Wake up! I promised Sakura!
I promised I'd protect you...
Why does it always turn out like this? Damn it!
Damn it...
Good morning...
Sensei!
What the hell are you doing here, Naruto?
Man, you had me worried there.
Here, look.
You asked me to, so I fixed 'em!
I followed the teaching of these bells and came after you!
I'll never forget what you taught me, Kakashi Sensei.
Those who break the rules of the village are called scum.
But people who don't cherish their friends are even worse than scum.
Naruto...
Man... Since I'm alive, that means the plan failed, huh?
I thank you, Naruto.
I wouldn't have been able to escape otherwise.
But Kakashi's student saved me.
The solar eclipse isn't over yet.
And I still have the Earth and Heaven requirements fulfilled.
Kakashi... I'll kill you and fulfill the Man requirement!
What's this?
- Run, Naruto! - Right!
Did Naruto do it?
Wait, my friend, Kakashi!
You'll become part of me!
What are you hanging back there for?
I protected Kakashi Sensei!
I'm not the only one to inherit the Will of Fire!
All of us from the Leaf Village have it!
We just have to beat him, right?
Let's do it.
Guess we have no choice.
You don't know when to shut up!
You can't even touch me!
Summoning!
What happened?
It looks like it's been summoned.
I really didn't want to face this guy anymore.
Leave it to me.
Now that you mention it, that book Kakashi Sensei gave me said that
women can become infinitely strong if it's to protect a man they love.
Shut up!
You handle this thing!
And everything really would have been settled in exchange for my life.
I won't listen to any complaints.
I was just following your teachings, Kakashi Sensei.
Let's go, Naruto.
Yeah!
Can I do it with this kind of sunlight?
KAGE NUI no Jutsu! (Shadow Stitching)
Now!
Ninpou: CHOUJUU GIGA! (Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll)
OUKASHOU! (Cherry Blossom Clash)
Weak, so weak!
Give up, Kakashi!
Be absorbed by me!
Ranton Ougi: RANKIRYUU! (Gale Style: Secret Technique Gale Dragon)
That's no ordinary storm cloud...
It's a cumulonimbus that will expand infinitely with chakra!
I'll pour down that energy on this entire land!
This thing was born from that Chimera Jutsu.
A monster that has four Kekki Genkai.
But as long as he hasn't absorbed the fifth one from Kakashi Sensei,
his body is incomplete.
Naruto!
The place where he'll absorb Kakashi Sensei into is still empty.
Right now, his only and biggest weakness is that wound on his chest!
Right!
Shoot!
Everyone!
You came!
All right, everyone, let's do it!
CHOU BAIKA no Jutsu! (Super Expansion Jutsu)
NIKUDAN HARI SENSHA! (Spiky Human Boulder)
GATSUUGA! (Fang Over Fang)
- HAKKE ROKUJUUYON SHOU! - HAKKE ROKUJUUYON SHOU! (Eight Trigrams 64 Palms)
KONOHA SENPUU! (Leaf Hurricane)
Tenten!
Eat this! SOUSHOURYUU! (Rising Dragon Control)
Naruto!
All right!
TAJUU KAGEBUNSHIN no Jutsu!
Ninja Arts are powerless against me!
OUDAMA RASENGAN! (Giant Rasengan)
I'll return it all to you!
RAIKIRI! (Lightning Blade)
I was waiting for that!
What?
Take this! RAIKIRI!
Why you...
Not yet!
Fools!
It's no use...
You had a jutsu like that?
But I told you already...
Ninja Arts are powerless against me!
What? I can't suck it in!
I can't believe it! Such a jutsu exists?
I refuse to believe it!
Take this! Futon: RASEN SHURIKEN! (Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken)
We did it! We did it!
I should have absorbed you and obtained my perfect body...
What did I do wrong?
In order to overcome your own weakness,
you discarded others and tried to become perfect on your own.
That was your mistake.
That's the way someone who was born strong would think.
I didn't have friends back then to begin with.
It was the only way for me to live.
That's not true, Hiruko.
I was there.
Me, too.
Hiruko, open your eyes.
You should have connected with your friends instead of choosing loneliness.
If you had done that, your friends would have saved you.
My friends?
I see... You almost made the same mistake I did.
Yeah. You and I are the same.
Maybe it's not you who really lost, but me.
If I had become the sacrifice, and saved the village...
That would have meant cutting off my connections with my friends.
I was trying to sacrifice the most important thing in the village.
I'm the loser here.
Could... Could I have connected...
with my friends?
You did it! Naruto!
- Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! - Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
You've already far surpassed me...
Naruto.
Gaara!
Withdraw. The incident has been resolved.
Roger!
Withdraw! Withdraw!
- Roger! - Roger!
I am sorry, Jiraiya.
I was saved again, thanks to you.
No...
Both of us were saved.
He might reach a place I couldn't even dream of in my youth.
Yeah... No wonder we've gotten old.
Kakashi Sensei.
I followed your teachings, Sensei.
It's true that in the ninja world,
those who break the rules are called scum...
But those who don't cherish their friends are worse than scum!
If I'm going to be a scum either way,
then I'll break the code!
Obito...
If that makes me less than a true ninja
then I'll just beat up all the so-called real ninja!
I knew it... You're a lot like him.
W-What?
You're suddenly grinning... Stop creeping me out.
How scandalous of you.
What?
I didn't know you were into that, Kakashi Sensei.
Sometimes after experiencing the same excitement,
love can blossom, it says.
But nothing between two men...
Come on now, are you kidding me?
Th-That's not what I meant!
Guy Sensei told me. That's also part of youth!
I figured you two were like that.
Oh, give me a break here!
Naruto!
It's a misunderstanding!
Wait up!
Stay away!
Naruto!
No!
