1
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Naruto…
2
00:00:41,130 --> 00:00:43,170
Sometimes your eyes
are better than mine.
3
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:48,920
Sasuke is in the darkness
right now…
4
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:52,710
Go…
5
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,750
You're the only one
who can save him.
6
00:00:58,210 --> 00:00:59,210
Yeah…
7
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,290
I know.
8
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:38,070
The Final Battle
9
00:03:01,030 --> 00:03:02,980
My explanation of
what it means to be Hokage
10
00:03:03,070 --> 00:03:04,940
represents my response.
11
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,900
The way Itachi lived
led me to this answer.
12
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,400
To protect the Land of Fire
and the Leaf Village,
13
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,230
he sacrificed both
his clan and himself.
14
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,940
First, I needed to know why.
15
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:23,070
What is this Land and Village
that he would go so far to protect?
16
00:03:24,570 --> 00:03:26,230
The previous Hokage said…
17
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:30,030
…that the village is a framework
18
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:33,070
created to stop the slaughter
of clans and children…
19
00:03:34,030 --> 00:03:36,030
…a framework that was
supposed to lead to peace.
20
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:40,650
Itachi tried to sustain
that peace all by himself.
21
00:03:41,150 --> 00:03:43,280
That's when I finally understood…
22
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:46,400
Suffering bitter experiences,
living in darkness
23
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,030
as a criminal and traitor
against Land and Village…
24
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,900
He was a shinobi
who took on all hatred
25
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,860
and protected the Land of Fire and
the Leaf Village from the shadows.
26
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,110
I feel he was the true Hokage.
27
00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:06,230
It's not the one who is
acknowledged by all…
28
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,190
…but the one who
accepts all the hatred
29
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,820
that is worthy of that title.
30
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,530
I eventually came to understand
Itachi's feelings
31
00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:17,650
for his Land and Village.
32
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:20,780
My big brother failed
in just one aspect.
33
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:22,610
He let me,
his little brother, live.
34
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:24,940
Unable to hide the truth from me,
35
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:27,030
he allowed the hatred
to disseminate.
36
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:34,570
However… I'm not like
my Big Brother anymore.
37
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:37,400
I have no father, mother, brother…
38
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,480
not even a single member
of my clan.
39
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,230
I am all alone.
40
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:51,730
I alone can bear the weight
of all the hatred now.
41
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,030
And I alone will deal
with everything personally.
42
00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:58,860
I will handle all of
the shinobi's problems.
43
00:04:59,150 --> 00:05:03,320
I will also dispense
all judgment and punishment.
44
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:06,570
I'll concentrate
all hatred upon myself…
45
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,030
…and bring together every
single village under my control.
46
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,030
Hatred inside darkness
cannot be eliminated.
47
00:05:15,530 --> 00:05:16,900
In which case, I'd rather…
48
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:25,610
That's right…
What the Hokage is to me…
49
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:28,780
…is someone who will sear away
the darkness of all Five Villages
50
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:30,030
with only his own flame.
51
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:33,530
And then keeps living
by eating the ashes.
52
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:37,650
And you think everyone will just
sit back and say "yes" to that?
53
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:39,820
I told you already…
54
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,230
I don't care what you
or anyone else thinks.
55
00:05:44,030 --> 00:05:47,070
Besides, I have the power now
to control it all.
56
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,110
You don't have a clue
about how Itachi lived!
57
00:05:52,030 --> 00:05:53,900
There are things
you can't do alone!
58
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:56,730
Just like our battle with Kaguya!
59
00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:01,980
But things don't always go well…
60
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:04,980
Like with these two stone statues
61
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:08,940
And us two brothers…
62
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:12,070
With revolution…
63
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:14,940
…the villages will no longer
have to bear darkness.
64
00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:16,900
And I alone
will become the darkness.
65
00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:21,480
I'll dispose of the deep darkness
of the past,
66
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:23,940
and build a pure white future
from scratch.
67
00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:27,110
You mean by killing
the Tailed Beasts,
68
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:28,980
and the Five Kage?!
69
00:06:29,230 --> 00:06:30,230
Exactly.
70
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:33,730
I'm casting off the past.
71
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:40,110
You're saying you can pretend
nothing ever happened with Itachi?
72
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:43,940
You and Itachi were brothers,
and a lot happened between you…
73
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:45,440
That's what made you
who you are today!
74
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,690
Itachi is now in my past.
75
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,690
I'm cutting all past mistakes and
doubts here, and starting anew.
76
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,690
Beginning by cutting you down.
77
00:06:58,780 --> 00:07:01,360
Yours will be
the last blood I shed,
78
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,440
in the memory of my late brother.
79
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,150
I won't…let you kill me.
80
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,480
I learned everything I know
from the people of my past!
81
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:19,900
Especially about how to figure out
what to do after making a mistake.
82
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:23,900
You said you consider
Sasuke a brother.
83
00:07:24,530 --> 00:07:25,980
That's why, Naruto,
84
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:29,820
I believe you are the only one
who can stop Sasuke.
85
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:32,650
I'm leaving Sasuke to you.
86
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:34,690
That's why…
87
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:37,030
I won't let you kill me.
88
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:48,980
Lord Sage!
89
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:52,110
It seems it's almost time.
90
00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:53,570
What…
91
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:56,030
What should I be doing?
92
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,900
Just continue to have faith.
93
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:02,030
Right now, that is all we can do.
94
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,320
What you do and what transpires,
will be up to the two of you.
95
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:23,320
Sasuke and I aren't real brothers,
96
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320
but I think we can make peace
with each other.
97
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:27,690
Now that Itachi's gone,
98
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:30,110
I feel like I'm finally,
truly alone.
99
00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:32,360
But with Naruto,
100
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,650
he's the one person
I have to cut down.
101
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,730
My version of the Hokage
can only come to be
102
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:40,480
by severing all bonds
and being alone.
103
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:42,860
Why?
104
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Because…
105
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,900
Because to me…
106
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,030
…we're really good friends.
107
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,110
…he is still my closest friend.
108
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:03,190
Naruto… Sasuke…
Show me your answer…
109
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,980
Show me the answer for all shinobi!
110
00:11:17,650 --> 00:11:19,650
Inferno Style: Honoikazuchi!
111
00:11:58,070 --> 00:11:59,030
His left eye is…
112
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:45,320
How the hell do you think
you understand?
113
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,280
You've been alone from the start!
114
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:49,900
It's because I have these ties,
that I feel this agony.
115
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,530
How could you possibly understand
116
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:55,070
what it feels like
to lose all that?!
117
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:28,900
What's the matter?
118
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:30,400
Are you just going to play defense?
119
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:41,280
If you keep stalling, you'll die.
120
00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:48,780
I don't wanna kill you!
121
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,980
To me, you've become
my closest friend.
122
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:59,360
You're trying to be alone again
and I can't let that happen!
123
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,940
Especially since we both know
what that's like…
124
00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:06,900
That's why I can't let you…
125
00:17:17,030 --> 00:17:18,650
…go there…
126
00:17:18,730 --> 00:17:20,030
…intentionally!
127
00:17:57,070 --> 00:17:58,820
Quit yapping.
128
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,650
We're both different from
129
00:18:00,730 --> 00:18:03,030
the two boys who
fought here long ago…
130
00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:06,980
I know your heart…
131
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,980
…and you, mine…
132
00:18:11,570 --> 00:18:13,940
But you still wanna fight me?
133
00:18:14,730 --> 00:18:16,190
All the more, because it's you.
134
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,230
I have to cut you out of my life.
135
00:18:20,110 --> 00:18:23,110
There's no guarantee that the world
136
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:25,570
you'll rebuild
after severing the past…
137
00:18:25,650 --> 00:18:28,190
…won't end up just like this one,
you know.
138
00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:32,780
That's exactly why I'll continue
to watch over that world…
139
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:35,030
So it doesn't.
140
00:18:35,230 --> 00:18:37,190
You're missing the point!
141
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:40,730
The Five Villages
are finally united!
142
00:18:41,570 --> 00:18:46,280
Yeah… But that's only because
they found a common enemy.
143
00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:52,150
To defeat the Akatsuki, Madara,
and Kaguya…
144
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,190
the Five Villages had no choice
but to discard their grudges
145
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,940
and form an alliance
in order to survive.
146
00:18:58,530 --> 00:19:01,690
But their mutual foes are now gone.
147
00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:05,070
Eventually, conflicts between
each village will begin again.
148
00:19:05,610 --> 00:19:09,780
So this time,
you're gonna become the enemy?
149
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:13,610
And? What'll happen
after you're gone?
150
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,730
Finally,
151
00:19:17,070 --> 00:19:19,280
all the dots have connected
and formed a straight line.
152
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:21,940
I started with the Sharingan
153
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:24,320
and now, I possess
the power of the Rinnegan.
154
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:28,860
Reincarnation, immortality…
I have many options.
155
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,030
I'll also be able to control things
from the shadows,
156
00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:33,780
instead of through battle.
157
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,030
You're planning to
return to that hell,
158
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:40,690
for the rest of your life,
or rather for all eternity?
159
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:42,070
While being hated by all?
160
00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:48,820
To me,
that's what a Hokage ought to be.
161
00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:03,150
That's not even
close enough to kill me.
162
00:20:03,690 --> 00:20:06,980
I told you!
I'm not trying to kill you!
163
00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:08,730
I'm—!
164
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:09,860
Enough.
165
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,730
I'm the strongest in
this world right now.
166
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,940
So right now, right here…
167
00:20:52,030 --> 00:20:55,030
will be my first step
into the shadows.
168
00:22:42,190 --> 00:22:43,190
I can feel it,
169
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,610
how did he gain so much
Nature Energy so suddenly?
170
00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:48,190
You finally decided to kill me, huh?
171
00:22:48,570 --> 00:22:50,360
We've taken on
a lot of responsibilities
172
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,610
upon our shoulders…
173
00:22:52,230 --> 00:22:55,400
But you see, I wanna fight,
174
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,690
and win against you
fair and square!
175
00:22:58,570 --> 00:23:02,070
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
Naruto and Sasuke
176
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:05,480
…but not against the current you!
177
00:23:05,530 --> 00:23:08,610
