The Jinchuriki's Tears
There's a Paper Bomb left here
It's a type that explodes
We'll just have to detonate it.
I see.
We're detonating a Paper Bomb!
Stop working and take cover!
Let's do this.
Now isn't the time to be discussing
But if you think about
isn't it important to seize
More importantly
the plan to rescue Lord Kazekage
Securing village safety
We must not break up
What did you say?!
Oh
Reporting!
An enemy trap has been discovered
We are currently proceeding
There have been no casualties.
However
due to the effects of the explosion.
It seems it will take
Got it. Arrange it so that those
to the repair site immediately.
Yes
Hey wait!
Thanks to Gaara
the Village Hidden in the Sand was
But...we paid too great
Reporting!
All of the bodies of those guarding
There is probably little doubt
the center of the village from the sky...
Excuse me!
What?!
We have been contacted
Kankuro was discovered about
He is unconscious and
Kankuro...
Some members of the tracking unit
They are on their way
What about the location
The remaining members of
There should be a report soon...
You're late
I thought you didn't like to
But...I had enough fun
What's up with that?
Don't get so touchy.
You secured your mission target
My mission comes next...
But the one you're after...
Yeah
It'd be easier if
Yeah...That's right...
What kind of Jinchuriki
Well
nobody can complain
Gaara
Naruto! I know you're in a hurry
But
Don't lose your cool...
Master Jiraiya told you not to
For crying out loud...
Temari!
Hurry up and get him
Operating Room
Is this...poison?!
Prepare an antidote!
Gaara...
What?! Gaara was...?!
I was having a bad feeling...
It'll take about two and a half days
Let's hurry.
Right.
Treatment Room 3
The wounds weren't that serious...
The problem is...
The poison
Yes
We have absolutely no idea
Gaara...and now Kankuro
Taking Naruto is the top-priority duty
given to us by our organization
It's not so much you
it's what's inside you they want.
But as long as you have
they might want to have that power
Naruto! I told you earlier
I don't like it!
Even I know why they're after
You know it already
That I've got...
...the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit
Hey
Eww
Gaara and I both...
That's what they're after!
That's what I don't like!
They only see us as monsters!
I don't like their selfish way
A monster
If that's the case
That's right. I was born a monster.
Everything about us...
And he...fought all by himself
Naruto...
To them
Then why should I exist
I thought about it
But I need that reason while I'm alive...
If not
The Akatsuki was after him!
It's just like me this time
And yet
the one to get the short end
It's always him!
That's why I can't be wasting
This time
Naruto...
Uzumaki...
Thank you...
You say Kankuro's regained
He has
His condition has worsened
Baki... Is that you...?
Kankuro!
It's...it's him...
Don't raise your voice!
It's not good for you
Th-Th Red Sand...
I see... So that explains it...
Lord Baki...?
Oh
Contact the tracking unit!
Actually
since recovering Kankuro yesterday...
We were too late...
We have no choice
Huh? What is it?
Nothing...
Oh
Our superiors told us to give them
Do you think I have the time
Action takes precedence
Y-Yes
This is what happens
Give me a break...
I have no choice but to consult
But I wonder...
Now
Girls of your age especially need
She got mad...
That's totally sexual harassment...
Naruto.
You've met him before
Itachi Uchiha...
And he's after you.
I didn't just train over these past
I got into Master Tsunade's library
and did outside investigations
And now... what was bothering me
I wouldn't call it a dream
To restore the clan and
I'm the only one who can kill him.
I'm an avenger.
I have to become stronger
I don't have time to be getting
The person Sasuke wants to kill...
is his own older brother
A member of the Akatsuki!
Itachi...Uchiha!
Itachi...Uchiha?
I'm going to kill you!
Just as you told me to do
I've resented you
I've lived...
only to kill you!
Sure enough
I see power greater than Itachi's hidden
Sasuke will definitely seek me out...
in search of power...
That's why Sasuke is with Orochimaru
But Orochimaru is
And we only have six months left!
Sakura knows about that too...
And Orochimaru used to be
Basically this is what I want...to say.
The closer we get to the Akatsuki
the closer we get to information
If that happens...
we'll eventually get closer to Sasuke!
And after that
Our worst enemy who
and the one who's after Naruto...
This time I'll save the two of them!
It appears someone's come...
Say
Hey
Are you dead?
Gotcha! I was playing dead.
Cut it out. That senility act's
Honored siblings...
I have come to request
Old books are supposed
and left up on a high shelf...
What can we possibly do now...?
An organization called the Akatsuki
If we leave things as they stand now
It's your generation now.
You two have powerful connections
including villages in lands
There's only so much information
We've long since been retired.
We no longer have
Although I guess it'd be nice
That's very convenient.
