[first lines; in the Arctic]
Search Team Leader: Are you the guys from Tokyo?
Anbu Black Ops Tech: You get many other visitors out here?
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: How long have you been on site?
Search Team Leader: Since this morning. A Otogakure oil team called it in about 18 hours ago.
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: How come nobody spotted it before?
Search Team Leader: It's really not that surprising. This landscape's changing all the time. You got any ideas what this thing is exactly?
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: I don't know. It's probably a weather balloon.
Search Team Leader: I don't think so. You know we don't have the equipment for a job like this.
Anbu Black Ops Tech: How long before we can start craning it out?
Search Team Leader: I don't think you quite understand. You guys are gonna need one hell of a crane!
[as the shot widens we see a massive frozen ship revealed]
[after breaking into the metal aircraft]
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: [speaking into his comm] Base, we're in. [looking around] What is this? [The technician nearly slipps on the ice covering the ground] Careful.
Anbu Black Ops Tech: [finding the frozen kunai of Captain Konoha] Lieutenant! What is it?
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: My God! [into his earpiece] Base, give me a line to the Colonel.
Voice from Earpiece: It's 3 a.m., sir.
Anbu Black Ops Lieutenant: I don't care what time it is. This one's waited long enough.
[March 1942 Kirigakure]
[a villager, Gozu, is running to a church]
Gozu: [subtitled] They have come for it!
Tower Keeper: [subtitled] They have before.
Gozu: [subtitled] Not like this.
Tower Keeper: [subtitled] Let them come. They will never find it.
[rumbling is heard and something breaks down the door, the stones killing Gozu]
[the tower keeper closes Gozu's eyes and sees a machine moving away as Akatsuki Shinobi come in]
[a car drives up with the Akatsuki symbol on the hood]
[Akatsuki agents try to lift the lid of a coffin]
Akatsuki Lieutenant: Open it! Quickly, before he...
Obito Uchiha: It has taken me a long time to find this place. [to the Tower Keeper] You should be commended. [to one of his soldiers] Help him up.
[one of the soldiers helps the tower keeper to his feet]
Obito Uchiha: I think that you are man of great vision. And in this way we are much alike.
Tower Keeper: I am nothing like you.
Obito Uchiha: No, of course. But what others see as superstition, you and I know to be a science.
Tower Keeper: What you seek is just a legend.
Obito Uchiha Then why make such an effort to conceal it? [opens an old tomb and picks up the glass cube from the skeletal remains of an old shinobi] The Rinnegan was the jewel of Bardock's treasure room. [he turns to face the tower keeper and deliberately drops and smashes the glass cube] It's not something one buries. But I think it is close, yes?
Tower Keeper: I cannot help you.
Obito Uchiha: No. But maybe you can help your village. You must have some friends out there. Some... some little grandchildren perhaps. I have no need for them to die. [A big tank outside turns his guns towards the village threateningly.]
[referring to the carving of the tree on one of the tower walls]
Obito Uchiha: Super Dragon Balls. Guardian of wisdom and fate, also. [he presses a button on the carving of the tree and it opens up to reveal the real cube] And the Akatsuki digs for trinkets in the desert. You have never seen this, have you?
Tower Keeper: It's not for the eyes of ordinary men.
Obito Uchiha: Exactly. [he closes the box containing the glowing cube and turns to his soldiers] Gove the order to open fire.
Akatsuki Lieutenant: Yes!
Tower Keeper: Fool! You cannot control the power you hold. You will burn!
Obito Uchiha: I already have. [He shoots and kills the tower keeper]
[In Tokyo, at the enrollment facility.]
4F Doctor: [off-screen] Aburame, Shino. Inuzuka, Kiba.
Naruto Uzumaki: Boy, a lot of guys getting killed over there.
4F Doctor: [off-screen] Uzumaki, Naruto.
[Naruto puts down the newspaper he is reading]
Enlistment Guy: It kind of makes you think twice about enlisting, huh?
Naruto: Nope.
[as Naruto is standing half naked in front of the doctor to examine him for enlistment]
4F Doctor: Uzumaki. What did your father die of?
Naruto: Mustard gas. He was in the hundred and seventh infantry. I was hoping I could be assigned...
4F Doctor: Your mother?
Naruto: She was a nurse in a TB ward. Got hit, couldn't shake it. [the doctor looks at Naruto's file which shows he has a long list of health issues]
4F Doctor: Sorry, son.
Naruto: Look, just give me a chance.
4F Doctor: You'd be ineligible on your asthma alone.
Naruto: Is there anything you can do?
4F Doctor: I'm doing it. I'm saving your life. [He stamps the card 4F.]
[later, Naruto is at the movie theater]
[a commercial about the war is playing before the movie]
Commercial Announcer: War continues to ravage the world. But help is on the way. Every able-bodied young man is lining up to serve his country. Even little Konohamaru is doing his part collecting scrap metal. Nice work, Timmy!
Loud Jerk: Who cares? Play the movie already!
Naruto: [quietly] Hey, you wanna show some respect?
Commercial Announcer: Meanwhile, overseas, our brave boys are showing the Axis powers that the price freedom is never too high.
Loud Jerk: Let's got! Get on with it! Hey, just start the cartoon!
Naruto: Hey buddy, you wanna shut up?!
[the guy gets up and looks at him]
Commercial Announcer: Together with Allied Shinobi forces, we'll face any threat, no matter the size.
[getting beaten in an alley by the loud jerk that was disturbing everyone at the cinema]
Loud Jerk: You just don't know when to give up, do you?
Naruto: I can do this all day. [and attacks the guy again]
Sasuke Uchiha: Hey! Pick on someone your own size.
[after saving Naruto from getting any further beatings by the loud jerk]
Sasuke: Sometimes, I think you like getting punched.
Naruto: I had him on the ropes.
[picks up Naruto's enlistment form from the ground]
Sasuke: How many times is this?
[reading from the enlistment form]
Sasuke: Oh, you're from Kumogakure now? You know it's illegal to lie on the enlistment form. And seriously, Kirigakure?
Naruto: You get your orders?
Sasuke: The one-o-seventh. Sergeant Sasuke Uchiha. Shipping out for Kirgigakjre first thing tomorrow.
Naruto: I should be going.
Sasuke: Come on, man. My last night! Gotta get you cleaned up.
Naruto: Why? Where are we going?
Sasuke: The future.
[he hands him the newspaper he was holding, Naruto opens it to see the ad for World Exposition Of Tomorrow, 1943]
Sasuke: I don't see what the problem is. You're about to be the last eligible man in Konoha. You know, there's three and a half million women here.
Naruto: Well, I'd settle for just one.
Sasuke: Good thing I took care of that.
[He waves to the dates, Connie and Bonnie, he's lined up]
Connie: Hey, Sasuke!
Naruto: What did you tell her about me?
Sasuke: Only the good stuff.
[music starts playing]
Expo Announcer: Welcome to the Modern Marvels Paviliion and the World of Tomorrow. A greater world. A better world.
Connie: Oh, my God! It's starting!
Mandy: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Van Hohenheim!
[Hohenheim enters the stage and kisses the announcer]
Random Woman: I love you, Hohenheim!
Hohenheim: [addressing the audience at the World Exposition fair] Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all.
[the female helpers take the wheels of the car on stage]
Hohenheim: Yes. Thanks, Mandy. [addressing the audience again] With Elric robotic reversion technology, you'll be able to do just that.
[he turns on the switch of his machine and the car starts to hover off the ground]
Sasuke: Holy cow.
[the robots making the car hover suddenly malfunction and the car falls back on stage]
Hohenheim: I did say a few years, didn't I?
[everyone laughs]
[Naruto disappears, and Sasuke notices]
Sasuke: Hey, Naruto, what do you say we treat these girls...
[at a recruitment center]
Woman: [to her male company, pulling him away from a mirror making him look like a soldier] Come on, soldier.
[Naruto steps in front of the mirror but he's too short to fill out the face]
Sasuke: Come on. You're kind of missing the point of a double date. We're taking the girls dancing.
Naruto: You go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
Sasuke: You're really gonna do this again?
Naruto: Well, it's a fair. I'm gonna try my luck.
Sasuke: As who? Naruto from Sunagakure? They'll catch you. Or worse, they'll actually take you.
Naruto: Look, I know you don't think I can do this.
Sasuke: This isn't a back alley, Naruto. It's war!
Naruto: I know it's a war. You don't have to tell me.
Sasuke: Why are you so keen to fight? There are so many important jobs.
Naruto: What am I gonna do? Collect scrap metal...
Sasuke: Yes!
Naruto: ...in my little red wagon.
Sasuke: Why not?
Naruto: I'm not gonna sit in a factory, Sasuke.
Sasuke: I don't...
Naruto: Sasuke, come on! There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand. This isn't about me.
Sasuke: Right. Cause you got nothing to prove.
Connie: Hey, Sarge! Are we going dancing?
Sasuke: [he turns to the girls] Yes, we are. [back to Naruto] Don't do anything stupid until I get back.
Naruto How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you.
Sasuke: You're a punk.
[he walks back towards Naruto and hugs him goodbye]
Naruto: Jerk. Be careful.
[as Sasuke is walking away]
Naruto: Don't win the war till I get there!
Sasuke: [He salutes then starts to walk away] Come on girls. They're playing our song.
[Naruto is in a medical examination room when a nurse whispers something inaudible to Young Doctor]
Young Doctor: Wait here.
Naruto: Is there a problem?
Young Doctor: Just wait here. [walks out]
[Naruto looks at a sign warning against lying on your enlistment form and starts to get ready to leave]
[An Enlistment Office MP walks in the room and Naruto looks up at him worriedly]
[Dr. Jiraiya enters the room as Enlistment Office MP quietly leaves]
Dr. Jiraiya: [to the MP] Thank you. [to Naruto] So, you want to go overseas. Kill some Akatsuki.
Naruto: Excuse me?
Dr. Jiraiya: Dr. Jiraiya. [walks over and introduces himself to Naruto] I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
Naruto: Naruto Uzumaki.
[Dr. Jiraiya starts looking through Naruto's file]
Naruto: Where are you from?
Jiraiya: Konoha. 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Before that, Otogakure. This troubles you?
Naruto: [shakes his head] No.
Jiraiya: [flipping through Naruto's file] Where are you from, Mr. Uzumaki? Mmm? Is it Kumogakure? Or Kirigakure? Five exams in five different cities.
Naruto: That might not be the right file.
Jiraiya: No, it's not the exams I'm interested in. It's the five tries. But you didn't answer my question. Do you want to kill the Akatsuki?
Naruto: Is this a test?
Jiraiya: Yes.
Naruto: I don't wanna kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Naruto: Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is the little guy, huh? I can offer you a chance.
[They exit the room]
Jiraiya: Only a chance.
Naruto: I'll take it.
Jiraiya: Good. So where is the little guy from, actually?
Naruto: Konoha.
Jiraiya: [Jiraiya stamps Naruto's form and hands him back his file] Congratulations, soldier.
[Naruto opens up the file and sees that he's been stamped as accepted]
[In an Akatsuki lab in a very mountainous region]
Obito Uchiha: Are you ready, Dr. Zetsu?
Dr. Zetsu: My machine requires the most delicate calibration. Forgive me if I seem overcautious.
Obito: And are you certain that those conductors of yours can withstand the energy surge long enough for a transference?
Zetsu: With this artifact, I am certain of nothing. I fear it may not work at all.
[Obito inserts the Rinnegan carefully into the machine. Zetsu starts it up.]
Zetsu: Twenty percent. Forty. Sixty. Stabilising at 70%.
Obito: [takes over the controls] I have not come all this way for safety, Doctor. [He turns the controls up to maximum and blue light flitters through the room.]
Zetsu: What is that?
[after successfully collecting the power from the glowing Rinnegan using Zetsu's machine]
Obito: I must congratulate you, Zetsu. Your designs do not disappoint. Though they may require some slight reinforcement.
Zetsu: The exchange is stable. Amazing! The energy we have just collected could power my design, all my designs. This will change the war.
Obito: Dr. Zetsu, this will change the world.
[At a Konohagakure training camp. Naruto stands in line with others.]
Officer: [off-screen to other soldiers training] Ready, exercise!
Hinata Hyuga: Recruits, attention! Gentlemen, I'm Agent Hyuga. I supervise all operations for this division.
Neji: Why is she leading us?
Hinata: What's your name, soldier?
Neji Hyuga: Neji Hyuga, Lady Hinata.
Hinata: Step forward, Neji.
[Neji steps forward, smirking]
Hinata: Put your right foot forward.
Neji: Mmm... We gonna wrassle? Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like.
[suddenly Hinata punches him hard in the face]
[Col. Ibiki Morino drives up]
Col. Ibiki Morino: Agent Hyuga.
Hinata: Colonel Morino.
Col. Ibiki Morino: I see you're breaking in the candidates. That's good! [to Neji] Get your ass up out of that dirt and stand in that line at attention 'til somebody comes tells you what to do.
Neji: [he gets back up] Yes, sir.
Col. Ibiki Morino: [addressing the new army recruits] The Hokage has said that wars are fought with weapons but they are won by men. We are going to win this war because we have the best men... [he sees Uzumaki and continues talking] And because they're gonna get better. Much better. The Strategic Scientific Reserve is an Allied effort made up of the best minds in the free world. Our goal is to create the best army in history. But every army starts with one man. At the end of this week we will choose that man. He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldiers. [While Morino talk we see scenes of Naruto unpacking and training where he fails to keep up and gets bullied by the others.]
Sergeant Idate Morino: Uzumaki! Get that rifle out of the mud!
Col. Ibiki Morino: And they, will personally escort the Akatsuki to the gates of Hell.
[then we see Naruto and some other trainees running up to a waiting Hinata and a flagpole]
Sergeant Morino: Pick up the pace, ladies! Let's go! Double time! Come on! Faster! Faster! Move! Move! [they arrive at the flag pole] Squad, halt! That flag means we're only at the halfway point. First man to bring it to me gets a ride back with Agent Hyuga. Move, move!
Shinobi: Come on! Get up there!
Sergeant Morino: [the soldier try to climb up the pole to no avail] If that's all you got, this army's in trouble! Get up there, Hyuga! Come on! Get up there! Nobody's got that flag in 17 years! Now fall back into line! Come on, fall in! Let's go! Get back into formation! Uzumaki! I said fall in! [Naruto pulls a pin out at the bottom of the pole causing it to fall over.]
Naruto: [as he gives the flag to Sergeant Morino] Thank you, sir. [He climbs into the car and they drive away.]
[The soldiers are doing push-ups.]
Hinata: Faster, ladies! Come on. My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul. Move it!
Col. Ibiki Morino: [walking besides Jiraiya] You're not really thinking about picking Uzumaki, are you?
Dr. Jiraiya: I am more than just thinking about it. He is the clear choice.
Col. Ibiki Morino: When you brought a ninety-pound asthmatic onto my army base, I let it slide. I thought, what the hell? Maybe he'll be useful to you, like a gerbil. I never thought you'd pick him. [referring to Naruto]
Hinata: [as Morino and Jiraiya arrive she commands the Shinobi:] Up.
Col. Ibiki Morino: You stick a needle in that kids arm and it's gonna go right through him. [watching Naruto struggling whilst training with the other new recruits]
Hinata: Come on, girls.
Col. Ibiki Morino: Look at that. He's making me cry.
Dr. Jiraiya: I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.
Col. Ibiki Morino: Do you know how long it took to set up this project?
Dr. Jiraiya: Yeah, I know.
Col. Ibiki Morino: All the groveling I had to do in front of the Kazekage?
Dr. Jiraiya: Rasa. Yes, I know. I am well aware of your efforts.
Col. Ibiki Morino : Then throw me a bone. Neji Hyuga passed every test we gave him. He's big, he's fast, he obeys orders. He's a Shinobi.
Dr. Jiraiya: He's a bully.
Col. Ibiki Morino: You don't win wars with niceness, doctor. [he takes a kunai bomb] You win war with guts. [he throws the bomb at where the new recruits are training] Bomb!
[all the soldiers move away quickly but Naruto jumps on top of it covering it with his body]
Naruto: Get away! Get back! [waits for the grenade to go off but nothing happens]
Officer: It was a dummy grenade. All clear. Back in formation.
[Naruto looks at Morino and Jiraiya]
Naruto: Is this is a test?
[Jiraiya looks at Morino as to confirm his point about choosing Naruto]
Col. Ibiki Morino: He's still skinny.
[later that night, Naruto sits on his bunk reading. Jiraiya knocks on the door.]
Dr. Jiraiya: May I?
Naruto: Yeah.
Dr. Jiraiya Can't sleep?
Naruto: I got the jitters, I guess.
Dr. Jiraiya: [laughs] Me, too.
Naruto: Can I ask you a question?
Dr. Jiraiya: Just one? [he sits down facing Naruto]
Naruto: Why me?
Dr. Jiraiya: I suppose that is the only question that matters. [He looks down at the bottle of schnapps he brought with him.] This is from Otogakure. My city. So many people forget that the first country that the Akatsuki invaded was their own. You know, after the last war the... my people struggled. They... they felt weak. They felt small. And then Obito Uchiha comes along with the marching and the big show and the flags and the... and the... [he waves his hand] And he... he hears of me, my work and he finds me. And he says, "You." He says, "You will make us strong." Well, I am not interested. Now, Uchiha is a member of the inner circle and he's ambitious. Obito Uchiha has a passion for occult power and Japanese myth. Uchiha uses his fantasies to inspire his followers. But for him, it is not fantasy. For him, it is real. He has become convinced that there is a great power hidden in the earth, left here by the Gods, waiting to be seized by a superior man. So when he hears about my formula and what it can do, he cannot resist.
[flashback of how Uchiha takes Jiraiya's formula and injects himself with it]
Dr. Jiraiya: Obito must become that superior man.
Naruto: Did it make him stronger?
Dr. Jiraiya: Yeah. But, there were other effects. The serum was not ready. But more important, the man. The serum amplifies everything that is inside. So, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion.
Naruto: Thanks. I think.
Dr. Jiraiya: [he pours 2 drinks] Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
[Naruto holds up his glass to toast]
Naruto: To the little guys.
[just as Naruto's about to drink from his glass]
Dr. Jiraiya: No! No! Wait! Wait! What I am doing? No! You have a procedure tomorrow. No fluids.
[he pours the contents of Naruto's glass into his own]
Naruto: All right. We'll drink it after.
Dr. Jiraiya: No! I don't have procedure tomorrow. Drink it after? Drink it now!
[At the Akatsuki facility, in Obito's lab.]
Obito: [he turns off the light] Is there something in particular you need? [An artist is painting Obito's portrait in oil.]
Dr. Zetsu: I understand you found him.
Obito: See for yourself. [Zetsu steps over to the table to find several survaillance photos of Dr. Jiraiya.] You disapprove.
Dr. Zetsu: I just don't see why you need concern yourself. I can't imagine he will succeed. [looking nervously at Obito] Again.
Obito: His serum is the Allies' only defence against this power we now possess. If we take it away from them, then our victory is assured.
Dr. Zetsu: Shall I give the order?
Obito: It has been given.
Dr. Zetsu: Good. [he turns to go]
Obito: Dr. Zetsu. [he turns on the lights] What do you think?
Dr. Zetsu: A masterpiece. [the artist looks relieved with Zetsu's assessment]
[Naruto and Hinata whilst driving through Konoha]
Naruto: I know this neighborhood. I got beat up in that alley. And that parking lot. And behind that diner.
Hinata: Did you have something against running away?
Naruto: You start running they'll never let you stop. You stand up, push back. Can't say no forever, right?
Hinata: I know a little of what that's like. To have every door shut in your face.
Naruto: I guess I just don't why you'd wanna join the army if you're a beautiful dame. Or a beautiful... a woman. An agent, not a dame! You are beautiful, but...
Hinata: You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
Naruto: This is the longers conversation I've had with one. Women aren't exactly lining up to dance with a guy they might step on.
Hinata: You must have danced?
Naruto: Well, asking a woman to dance always seems so terrifying. And the past few years just didn't seem to matter that much. Figured I'd wait.
Hinata: For what?
Naruto: The right partner.
[They pull up by an antiques shop and get out of the car.]
Hinata: This way.
Naruto: What are we doing here?
Hinata Follow me. [They go inside.]
Antique Store Owner: Wonderful weather this morning isn't it?
Hinata: Yes, but I always carry an umbrella.
[Hinata leads Naruto into the hidden lab to Dr. Jiraiya and his team in a big circular room filled with machinery and a pod in the middle.]
Dr. Jiraiya: Good morning. [he shakes Naruto's hand and sombody takes a photograph] Please, not now. [The photographer walks away, Naruto looks at the pod] Are you ready? [Naruto nods.] Good. Take off your shirt, your robe.
[In the adjacent observation chamber filled with officials.]
Col. Ibiki Morino: Lord Hokage, glad you could make it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: Why exactly am I in Konoha?
Col. Ibiki Morino: We needed access to the city's power grid. Of course, if you'd given me the generators I requisitioned...
Sarutobi: A lot of people are asking for funds, Colonel. [referring to his company] Oh, this is...
Deidara: Genma, State Department. [He shakes Morino's hand] If this project of yours comes through, we'd like to see it used for something other than headlines.
Sarutobi: [looing down into the chamber at Naruto] Jesus. Somebody get that kid a ramen.
[In the chamber Naruto has climbed into the pod and lain down.]
Dr. Jiraiya: Comfortable?
Naruto: It's a little big. You save me any of that schnapps?
Dr. Jiraiya: Not as much as I should have. Sorry. Next time. Mr. Elric, how are your levels?
Hohenheim: Levels at 100%.
Dr. Jiraiya: Good.
Hohenheim: We may dim half the lights in Konoha, but we are ready as we'll ever be.
Dr. Jiraiya: Agent Hyuga? Don't you think you would be more comfortable in the booth?
Hinata: Oh, yes. Of course. Sorry.
Dr. Jiraiya: Good. [He takes a microphone and taps it.] Do you hear me? is this on? [to the small group gathered to watch Naruto being prepared to become a super-solider] Ladies and gentlemen, today we take not another step towards annihilation, but the first step on the path to peace. We begin with a series of micro injections into the subjects major muscle groups. The process will cause immediate cellular change. And then to stimulate growth, the subject will be given the powers of the Nine Tailed Fox.
Naruto: [after preliminary injection] That wasn't so bad.
Jiraiya: That was penicillin. [to the others] Serum infusion beginning in five, four, three, two, one. [The serum is injected into Naruto] Now, Mr. Hohenheim. [Hohenheim lowers a leaver, the pod moves upright and encloses Naruto inside.] [knocking on the capsule that they've locked Naruto in for the procedure to change him] Naruto, can you hear me?
Naruto: It's probably too late to go to the bathroom, right?
Jiraiya: [turns to Hohenheim] We will proceed.
Hohenheim: [manages the controls] That's ten percent. Twenty percent. Thirty. That's 40 %.
SSR Doctor: Vital signs are normal.
Hohenheim: That's 50 %. Sixty. Seventy.
[as Naruto is screaming in pain as he is receiving the vita rays]
Jiraiya: Naruto!
Hinata: Shut it down.
Jiraiya: Naruto! [he knocks on the pod]
Hinata: Shut it down!
Jiraiya: Kill the reactor, Mr. Hohenheim! Turn it off! Kill it! Kill the reactor!
Naruto: No! Don't! I can do this!
Hohenheim: Eighty. Ninety. That's 100 %. [Everything overloads until the reactor closes itself down.]
Jiraiya: Mr. Hohenheim? [Hohenheim opens the pod]
[after being transformed into a super-soldier]
Dr. Jiraiya: Naruto. Naruto.
Col. Ibiki Morino: The son of a bitch did it. [as everyone poors out of the observation chamber Deidara leaves a small, metal object like a cigarette case behind.]
Naruto: [As he stumbles out of the pod supported by Hohenheim and Jiraiya] I did it.
Dr. Jiraiya: Yeah, yeah. I think we did it.
Hohenheim: We actually did it.
Hinata: How do you feel?
Naruto: Taller.
Hinata: You look taller.
Col. Ibiki Morino: How do you like Konoha now, Lord Hokage?
Sarutobi: I can think of some folks in the Otogakure who are about to get very nervous. Congratulations, Doctor. [He shakes hands with Jiraiya.]
Dr. Jiraiya: Thank you, sir.
[Deidara detonates the bomb in the observation room and uses the confusion to steal the last vial of the serum.]
Dr. Jiraiya: Stop him! [Kruger throws a kunai him flees with Hinata chasing after him]
[Naruto kneels beside Jiraiya who points at Naruto's chest and dies.]
[Jiraiya kills his way to a get-away-car but soon after he drives away, Hinata kills the driver and the car crashes into a taxi so Deidara changes cars.]
Taxi Driver: What are you doing? Buddy, are you all right? Hey, this guy's been shot!
[Deidara drives off in the taxi, straight towards Hinata. She shoots at him but he just ducks and keeps going. Naruto shoves her out of the way.]
Hinata: I had him!
Naruto: Sorry! [he runs after the cab] [While chasing the car he loses control over his new power and crashes into a bridalwear store.] I'm sorry. [he runs out into a street full of cars] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Naruto catches up to Deidara's car a the pier and causes him to lose control. Deidara gets out of the car and takes a young boy hostage.]
Mother: No! No! Not my son!
Young Boy: Stop it!
Mother: Don't hurt him!
Deidara: Get back! [Deidara with the boy dangling in his arms runs away.]
Young Boy: Let me go!
Mother: Let go of my son! Don't hurt him!
Naruto: [as Deidara points a kunai at the boy's head.] Wait, don't! Don't! [Deidara points the kunai at Naruto and throws it, but misses. So instead he throws the boy into the water.] No! Don't! [Deidara runs, Naruto looks down at the boy.]
Young Boy: Go get him! I can swim!
[Deidara tries to escape in a submarine, but Naruto jumps into the water, breaks the window an pulls Deidara out back onto dry land. As they struggle further the vial breaks.]
Naruto: Who the hell are you?
Deidara: The first of many. Cut off one head, two more shall take its place. Hail Akatsuki! [he pops a fake tooth loose and swallows it, he starts to foam at the mouth and then die]
[At the SSR compound.]
Naruto: [referring to the amount of blood samples taken from him] Think you got enough?
Hinata: Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Jiraiya, it could take years.
Naruto: He deserved more than this.
Hinata: If it could only work once, he'd be proud it was you.
[SSR tech lab with the Akatsuki submarine]
Sarutobi: Colonel Morino, my committee is demanding answers.
Col. Morino: Great. Why don't we start with how an Akatsuki spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car? [to Hohenheim who is working on the submarine] What have we got here?
Hohenheim: Speaking modestly, I'm the best mechanical engineer in this country. But I don't know what's inside this thing or how it works. We're not even close to this technology.
Sarutobi: Then who is?
Col. Morino: The Akatsuki. I'm sure you've been reading our briefings.
Sarutobi: I'm on a number of committees, Colonel.
Hinata: The Akatsuki is led by Obito Uchiha. But he has much bigger ambitions.
Col. Morino: The Akatsuki's practically a cult. They worship Morino, they think he's invincible.
Sarutobi: So what are you gonna do about it?
Col. Morino: Spoke to the president this morning. As of today the SSR is being retasked.
Hinata: Colonel?
Col. Morino: We are taking the fight to the Akatsuki. Pack your bags Agent Hyuga. You too, Hohenheim.
Naruto: Sir, if you're going after Obito, I want in.
Col. Morino: You're an experiment.
Naruto: The serum worked.
Col. Morino: I asked for an army and all I got was you. You are not enough.
Sarutobi: [to Naruto] With all due respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point. I've seen you in action, Naruto. More importantly, the country's seen it. [to his aide] Paper.[the aide shows them the news paper ('The Konoha Examiner' Vol. XCVII No. 33.634, Wednesday, June 23, 1943), headlines: "Akatsuki in Konoha - mystery man saves child"] The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands. You don't take a soldier, a symbol like that, and hide him in a lab. Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?
Naruto: Sir, that's all I want.
Sarutobi: Then, congratulations. You just got promoted.
Naruto: [backstage as Naruto is getting dressed in super-hero costume] I don't know if I can do this.
Sarutobi's Aide: Nothing to it. Sell off a few bonds, bonds buy bullets, kunais kills the Akatsuki. Bing bang boom. You're a hero.
Naruto: It's just not how I pictured getting there.
Sarutobi's Aide: The senator's got a lot of pull up on the hill. You play ball with us, you'll be leading your own platoon in no time. Take the shield.
USO Singer: Who's strong and brave, here to save the Konoha way?
Naruto: [As women start to sing and dance in the background Naruto reads:] Not all of us can storm a beach or drive a tank. But there's still a way all of us can fight.
USO Singer: Who vows to fight like a man, for what's right, night and day?
Naruto: Series E Defence Bonds. Each one you buy is a kunai in the hand of your best guy's hand.
USO Singer: Who will campaign door-to-door for Konoha? Carry the flag shore to shore for Konoha? From the Land of Fire, the man with a plan.
[Naruto leads a group of men dressed as soldiers in front of a moving image.]
Director: Cut. Guys, don't look at the camera.
[back to a scene where he's on tour.]
USO Singer: We can't ignore there's a threat and a war we must win.
Naruto: Each one you buy is a bullet in the barrel of your best guy's gun.
USO Singer: Who'll hang a noose on the goose-stepping goons from Otogakure? Who will redeem, heed the call for Konoha? Who'll rise or fall, give his all for Konoha? Who's here to prove that we can? The man with a plan.
Naruto: We all know this is about trying to win the war. We can't do that without bullets and bandages, tanks and tents. That's where you come in. Every bond you buy will help protect someone you love. [A men dressed as hitler sneaks up on him on the stage.]
Kids in USO Audience: Turn around! He's right behind you!
Naruto: Keep our boys armed and ready, and the Akatsuki will think twice about trying to get the drop on us. [The man attacks him and gets fake-punched.]
USO Singer: Stalwart and steady and true, forcefull and ready to defend, the red, white, and blue. Who'll give the Akatsuki the sack and is smart as a fox? Far as an eagle will soar. Who's making Obito afraid to step out of his box? He knows what we're fighting for. Who waked the giant that napped in Konoha? We know it's no one but Captain Konoha. Who'll finish what they began? Who'll kick the Akatsuki to Japan? The star-spangled man with a aplan! [Scenes show how Captain Konoha goes on tour around Konoha, appears in comics and films, how he's approached by multiple fans, and generally becomes more liked and famous.]
[Italy, November 1943, 5 miles from the front. Naruto addresses a crowd of soldiers dressed in his super-hero costume]
Naruto: How many of you ready to help me sock old Obito on the jaw? [silence from the crowd of soldiers] Okay. Uh... I need a volunteer.
Army Heckler#1: I already volunteered! How do you think I got here? [the crowd of soldiers laugh] Bring back the girls! [there's a cheer from the soldiers]
Naruto: I think they only know the one song. But um...let me...I'll...I'll see what I can do.
Army Heckler#1: You do that, sweetheart.
Army Heckler#2: Nice boots, Tinker Bell! [the crowd of soldiers laugh]
Naruto: Come on, guys. We're all on the same team here.
Army Heckler#3: Hey, Captain! Sign this! [he stands turns and pulls his pants down and the crowd starts to throw things at Naruto.]
Army Heckler#4: Bring back the girls! [The women run on stage and the crowd cheers.]
Sarutobi's Aide: [backstage to Naruto] Don't worry, pal. They'll warm up to you. Don't worry.
[Later, Naruto sits on the edge of the stage sketching as rain pours down in the background.]
Hinata: Hello, Naruto.
Naruto: [He turns and looks up at Hinata.] Hi.
Hinata: Hi.
Naruto: What are you doin' here?
Hinata: Officially I'm not here at all. That was quite a performance.
Naruto: Yeah. Uh... I had to improvise a little bit. Crowds I'm used to are usually more uh... twelve.
Hinata: I understand you're "Konoha's New Hope"?
Naruto: Bond sales take a ten percent bump in every state I visit.
Hinata: Is that Lord Hokage I hear?
Naruto: At least he's got me doin' this. Morino sensei would have had be stuck in lab.
Hinata: And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey? You were meant for more than this, you know? [Naruto goes to respond but hesitates] What?
Naruto: You know for the longest time I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted, and I'm wearing tights. [Honking in the background as an ambulance arrives with wounded soldiers. Naruto and Hinata turn around to watch.] They look like they've been through hell.
Hinata: These men more than most. Obito sent out a force to Land of Hot Water. Two hundred men went up against him and less than fifty returned. Your audience contained what was left of the one-oh-seventh. The rest were killed or captured.
Naruto: The one-oh-seventh?
Hinata: What?
Naruto: Come on! [They run to a tent.] Colonel Morino.
Col. Morino: Well, if it isn't the Man With A Plan. And what is your plan today?
Naruto: I need the casualty list from the Land of Hot Water.
Col. Morino: You don't get to give me orders, son.
Naruto: I just need one name. Sergeant Sasuke Uchiha from the hundred and seventh.
Col. Morino: [pointing to Hinata] You and I are gonna have a conversation later that you won't enjoy.
Naruto: Please tell me if he's alive, sir. U-C-H...
Morino: I can spell. [referring to Uchiha] I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count. But the name does sound familiar. I'm sorry.
Naruto: What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?
Morino: Yeah! It's called winning the war.
Naruto: But if you know where they are, why not at least...?
Col. Morino: They're thirty miles behind the lines. Through the most heavily fortified territory in the Land of Wind. We'd lose more men than we'd save. But I don't expect you to understand that, because you're a chorus girl.
Naruto: I think I understand just fine.
Col. Morino: Well then understand it somewhere else. If I read the posters correctly, you got some place to be in thirty minutes. [as Morino walks away Naruto looks at the military map which shows where the men are]
Naruto: Yes, sir. I do.
Col. Morino: [To Hinata] If you have something to say, right now is the perfect time to keep it to yourself.
Hinata: [She follows Naruto to his tent where he starts to change and pack some things.] What do you plan to do? Walk to Otogakure?
Naruto: If that's what it takes.
Hinata: You heard the Colonel, your friend is most likely dead.
Naruto: You don't know that.
Hinata: Even so, he's devising a strategy. If he detects...
Naruto: By the time he's done that, it could be too late! [He walks out to a jeep.] You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
Hinata: Every word.
Naruto: Then you gotta let me go. [He gets in the jeep.]
Hinata: I can do more than that.
[backstage with the USO girls]
Sarutobi's Aide: On stage, girls. Five minutes!
USO girl: Where's my helmet?
Sarutobi's Aide: Has anyone seen Uzumaki?
[Hinata and Naruto in a plane piloted by Hohenheim.]
Hinata: The Akatsuki camp is in the Sunagakure, tucked between these two mountain ranges. It's a factory of some kind.
Hohenheim: We should be able to drop you right on the doorstep.
Naruto: Just get me as close as you can. [referring to Hohenheim and Hinata helping him] You know, you two are gonna be in a lot of trouble at the lab.
Hinata: And you won't?
Naruto: Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just attack 'em.
Hinata: They will undoubtedly attack back.
Naruto Uzumaki: Well, let's hope it's good for somethin'. [He knocks at his shield.]
Hohenheim: Agent Hyuga, if we're not in too much of a hurry I thought we could stop off in Kirigakure for a late night fondue. [Hinata looks awkwardly at Naruto who's getting ready to parachute.]
Hinata: Hohenheim is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen. He's mad enough to brave this airspace, we're lucky to have him.
Naruto: So are you two...? Do you...? Fondue?
Hinata: [She ignores Naruto's akward and confused rambling.] This is your transponder. Activate it when you're ready and the signal will lead us straight to you.
Naruto: Are you sure this thing works?
Hohenheim: It's been tested more than you, pal. [as their plane is being attacked Naruto goes towards the opened door of the plane to jump]
Hinata: Get back here! We're taking you all the way in.
Naruto: As soon as I'm free, you turn this thing around and get the hell outta here!
Hinata: You can't give me orders!
Naruto: The hell I can't! I'm a Captain! [he looks at her and then jumps out of the plane]
[In the Akatsuki factory located in Otogakure, Obito and Zetsu walk side by side through the workspace.]
Zetsu: As you can see, production of the Saiyan is progressing on schedule, even with components of this size.
Obito: Increase the output by 60 % and see to it our other facilities do the same.
Zetsu: But the prisoners, I'm not sure they have the strength.
Obito: Then use up what strength they have left, Doctor. There are always more workers.
Zetsu: [To someone approaching him with a clip board] Not now!
[At the cells where prisoners are lead into. One of the guards knocks the hat from Iruka Umino's head.]
Iruka Umino: You know, one of these days, I'm gonna have a stick of my own.
[Naruto runs through the dark woods until he finds a road where trucks a driving by. He gets into the back of one of them and finds himself face to face with two Akatsuki guards.]
Naruto: Fellas.
Akatsuki guards: Ah!
[After Naruto snuck into the Akatsuki factory and stole a blue shining cartridge, he finds some of the captured Allied Shinobi]
Asuma: Who are you supposed to be?
Naruto: I'm... Captain Konoha.
Recca Hanabishi: I beg your pardon?
Iruka: [After Naruto has unlocked their cells and prisoner start pooring out, he says to a Killer B, a dark man with blonde hair] What, are we taking everybody?
Killer Bee: [takes out his dog tags] I'm from Otogakure, Ace.
Naruto: Is there anybody else? I'm looking for a Sergeant Sasuke Uchiha.
Hanabishi: There's an isolation ward in the factory, but no one's ever come back from it.
Naruto: All right. The tree line is northwest, 80 yards past the gate. Get out fast and give 'em hell. I'll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
Killer Bee: Wait! You know what you're doin'?
Naruto: Yeah. I've knocked out Obito over two hundred times.
[The prisoners escape into the compound, overpowering the guards with their sheer numbers. Tokiya Mikagami picks up one of the new Rinnegan-powered Akatsuki guns.]
Asuma: You know how to use that thing? [Mikagami shoots, blowing up a wall] Okay.
[Akatsuki factory command center]
Obito: [stares at a surveillance screen] What is happening? [He presses an alarm.]
[back to the prisoners in the compound, Iruka and Killer B overtake a small tank.]
Iruka: Hey. Not exactly a Buick.
Killer Bee: [points at the controls] That one. Zündung. (Ignition.)
Killer Bee: Zündung?
Hanabishi: [jumps into the tank] Get this thing going, Iruka!
Iruka: [to Killer B] I didn't know you spoke German.
Killer Bee: Three semesters at Howard, switched to French, girls much cuter.
Iruka: Didn't ask for the resume.
[In the Akatsuki control room Obito watches Naruto on the monitors and decides to activate the self destruct sequence which are counting down from 7 minutes.]
Zetsu: No, no! What are you doing?
Obito: Our forces are outmatched. [Zetsu looks at the screens, then runs out of the room.]
[Mikagami and Killer Bee running through the compound with other prisoners.]
Mikagami: Keep moving! Grab those grenades!
[Obito secures the Rinnegan while Zetsu packs the blueprints of his design. Naruto sees him in the corridor but hesitates to chase him when he hears someone.]
Sasuke: Sergeant. 32557...
Naruto: [he finds Sasuke strapped to a chair in one of Obito's testing labs] Sasuke? Oh, my God. [he unstraps him from the chair]
Sasuke: Is that...
Naruto: It's me. It's Naruto.
Sasuke: Naruto?
Naruto: Come on.
Sasuke: Naruto.
Naruto: I thought you were dead.
Sasuke: I thought you were smaller. [referring to Naruto's change of appearance]
Naruto: Come on.
Sasuke: What happened to you?
Naruto: I joined the Army. [referring to Naruto's undergoing change to a super-Shinobi]
Sasuke: Did it hurt?
Naruto: A little.
Sasuke: Is it permanent?
Naruto: So far.
[They flee through the exploding factory until they meet Obito and Zetsu.]
Obito: Captain Konoha! How exciting! I'm a great fan of your films. So Jiraiya managed it after all. Not exactly an improvement, but still impressive. [Naruto punches Obito hard in the face]
Naruto: You've got no idea.
Obito: Haven't I? [He goes to hit Naruto but Naruto protects himself with his kunai. As they fight, Zetsu pulls a leaver and the catwalk they are standing on retracts to either side seperating them.] No matter what lies Jiraiya told you, you see I was his greatest success! [he peels off the skin on his face to reveal that he is the Tobi]
Sasuke: [to Naruto referring to Obito's covered face] You don't have one of those, do you?
Obito: You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly. Without fear!
Naruto: Then how come you're running? [Obito and Zetsu continue their escape and so do Naruto and Sasuke.] Come on, let's go. Up.
[Obito and Zetsu in an elevator.]
Zetsu: Sir? Are we going to the roof? [The doors open to reveal a one-man-plane] What about me? Where will I sit?
Obito: [gives Zetsu his car keys] Not a scratch, Doctor. Not a scratch. [We see Obito and Zetsu escaping.]
[Naruto and Sasuke on a catwalk, beneath them everything is on fire, they have to reach the other side of the room over a thin gantry.]
Naruto: Let's go. One at a time. [Sasuke reaches the other side but the gantry collapses behind him.]
Sasuke: Gotta be a rope or something!
Naruto: Just go! Get out of here!
Sasuke: No! Not without you! [Naruto jumps over the chasm.]
[In the Shinobi camp Morino is dictating a letter to a Corporal.]
Col. Morino: Lord Hokage, I regret to report that Captain Naruto Uzumaki went missing behind enemy lines on the third. Aerial reconnaissance has proven unfruitful. As a result, I must declare Captain Uzumaki killed in action. Period.
Hinata: The last surveillance flight is back. No sign of activity.
Col. Morino: Go get a cup of coffee, Corporal.
Corporal: Yes, sir. [he leaves]
Col. Morino: I can't touch Hohenheim. He's rich and he's the Army's number one weapons contractor. You are neither one.
Hinata: With respect, sir, I don't regret my actions. And I don't think Captain Uzumaki did either.
Col. Morino: What makes you think I give a damn about your opinions. I took a chance with you, Agent Hyuga. And now Konoha's golden boy and a lot of other good men are dead, cause you had a crush.
Hinata: It wasn't that. I had faith.
Morino: Well, I hope that's a big comfort to you when they shut this division down. [Soldier start running and talking exitedly in the background.] What the hell's going on out there? [They follow the crowd to the edge of the camp where Naruto's arriving with the freed prisoners.]
Man#1: Look who it is! [everyone cheers]
Naruto: [salutes to Morino] Some of theres men need medical attention.
Man#2: Medic, we got wounded.
Medic. Right over here.
Naruto: I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary action.
Morino: That won't be necessary.
Naruto: Yes, sir.
Morino: [he turns and walks away from Naruto and he notices Hinata] Faith, huh?
Naruto: [to Naruto] You're late.
Naruto: [holding up the broken transponder] Couldn't call my ride.
Sasuke: [to the men] Hey! Let's hear it for Captain Konoha. [more cheering]
Lord Hokage: [somwhere in Konoha tlaking to a small crowd] I am honoured to present this medal for valour to my personal friend, Captain Konoha! [he turns around but no one is there.] Captain Konoha! [still nothing] Captain, that's your cue! [his aide comes out, whispering something to him]
General: [sitting in the crowd talking quietly to the man next to him] I thought he'd be taller. [misunderstanding the aide to be Captain Konoha]
[Allied HQ in Kirigakure]
Naruto: The fifth one was here in Kumogakure. [he marks it on a map] And the sixth one was... about here, 30, 40 miles west of here. [a soldier takes the map away] I just got a quick look.
Hinata: Well, nobody's perfect. [they walk over to Morino and another map]
Naruto: These are the weapon factories we know about. Sergeant Uchiha said that the Akatsuki shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map.
Col. Morino: Agent Hyuga, coordinate with the Kirigakure. I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Akatsuki base.
Hinata: What about us?
Morino: We are gonna set a fire under Obito Uchiha's ass. What do you say, Uzumaki? It's your map, you think you can wipe the Akatsuki off of it?
Naruto: Yes, sir. I'll need a team.
Morino: We're already putting together the best men.
Naruto: With all due respect, sir. So am I.
[in a bar]
Iruka: So, let's get this straight.
Killer B: We barely got out of there alive, and you want us to go back?
Naruto: Pretty much.
Sandayu: Sounds rather fun, actually.
Killer B: [belches] I'm in.
Killer B: [Mikagami and Killer Bee talk, Mikagami laughs, they shake hands] We're in.
Iruka: Hell, I'll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me.
Naruto: What's that?
Iruka: Open a tab.
Killer B: Well, that was easy.
Naruto: [Naruto goes over to the bar.] Another round.
Barkeeper: Where are they putting all this stuff?
Sasuke: [Naruto joins Sasuke at the barcounter. In the background everyone's singing "There's a Tavern in Town"[1]] See? I told you. They're all idiots.
Naruto: How about you? You ready to follow Captain Konoha into the jaws of death?
Sasuke: Hell, no. That little guy from Konoha who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him. But you're keeping the outfit, right?
Naruto: You know what? It's kind of growing on me.
Hinata: [The singing in the bar stops as Hinata in a tight fitting, deep-red dress walks in.] Captain.
Naruto: Agent Hyuga.
Sasuke: Lady Hinata.
Hinata: Howard has some equipment for you to try. Tomorrow morning?
Naruto: Sounds good.
Hinata: I see you top squad is prepping for duty.
Sasuke: You don't like music?
Hinata: I do, actually. I might even, when this is all over, go dancing.
Sasuke: Then what are we waiting for?
Hinata. The right partner. 0800, Captain.
Naruto: Yes, Lady Hinata. I'll be there.
Sasuke: [referring to the rejection he got from Hinata about going dancing with him] I'm invisible. I'm...I'm turning into you. It's like some horrible dream.
Naruto: Don't take it so hard. Maybe she's got a friend. [whilst waiting to see Hohenheim]
Hohenheim: [Morning, by a glass chamber, Hohenheim examines the Akatsuki cartridge] Emission signature is unusual. Alpha and beta ray neutral. Though I doubt Uzumaki picked up on that. Seems harmless enough. Hard to see what all the fuss is about. [He removes a glowing pellet. The blast sends Hohenheim and his engineer flying across the room.] Write that down.
[Somwhere else in the building]
Naruto: [to Private Tenten] Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Hohenheim.
Pvt. Tenten: He's in with Colonel Morino. Of course you're welcome to wait. [Naruto perches on the edge of a desk to wait] I read about what you did. [she holds up the newspaper showing his rescue mission]
Naruto: Oh! The...yeah! Well, that's you know? Just doin' what needed to be done.
Pvt. Tenten: Sounded like more than that. You saved nearly four hundred men.
Naruto: Really, it's not a big deal.
Pvt. Tenten: Tell that to their wives. [Naruto gets nervous as she walks up to him]
Naruto: Uh...I don't think they were all married.
Pvt. Tenten: You're a hero.
Naruto: Well, that...you know? That...that depends on the definition of it really. [she grabs hold of his tie]
Pvt. Tenten: The women of Konoha, they owe you their thanks. And uh...seeing as they're not here. [drags him to the corner of the office and kisses him]
Hinata: [she walks in] Captain! [Naruto and Pvt. Tenten seperate] We're ready for you. If you're not otherwise occupied. [annoyed, she turns and walks ahead]
Naruto: Agent Hyuga, wait.
Hinata: Looks like finding a partner wasn't that hard after all.
Naruto: Hinata, that's not what you thought it was.
Hinata: I don't think anything, Captain. Not one thing. You always wanted to be a Shinobi and now you are. Just like all the rest.
Naruto: Well, what about you and Hohenheim? How do I know you two haven't been... fonduing?
Naruto: [she turns to look at him] You still don't know a bloody thing about women!
[In Hohenheim's lab]
Hohenheim: Fondue is just cheese and bread, my friend.
Naruto: Really? I didn't think...
Hohenheim: Nor should you, pal. The moment you think you know what's goin' on in a woman's head, it's the moment your goose is well and truly cooked. Me, I concentrate on work. Which at the moment is about making sure you and your men do not get killed. Carbon polymer. [referring to a piece of cloth lying on the table] Should withstand your average Akatsuki kunai. Although the Akatsuki's not going to attack you with a kunai. [referring to Naruto's Shadow Clone jutsu] I hear you're uh... kinda attached?
Naruto: It's handier than you might think.
Hohenheim: I took the liberty of coming up with some options. [shows him some alchemy] This one's fun. This has been fitted with electrical relays. It'll allow you to...
Naruto: What about this one? [he shows off a new jutsu]
Hohenheim: No! No! That's not ready yet.
Naruto: What's it?
Hohenheim: Rasengan.
Naruto: How come it's not a standard issue?
Hinata Hyuga: [as Naruto is testing out his new power] You quite finished, Mr. Hohenheim? I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business.
Naruto: [puts away the Rasengan] What do you think? [Hinata picks up kunai and throws it at Naruto as he quickly destroys it with his Rasengan]
Hinata: Yes. I think it works. [she puts the gun down and walks out of the lab, Naruto and Hohenheim looking at her stunned]
Naruto: I had some ideas about the uniform. [gives Hohenheim a piece of paper]
Hohenheim: [takes it] Whatever you want, pal.
[Montage of Captain Konoha and his Howling Shinobi fighting the Akatsuki.]
[At the site of a destroyed Akatsuki base]
Obito: You are failing! We are close to an offensive network that will shake the planet. And yet we are continually delayed, because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield!
Zetsu: This is hardly my area of expertise. I...I merely develop the weapons. I...I cannot fire them.
Obito: Finish your mission, Doctor. Before the captain finishes his.
Guard: [two guards arrive with the facility manager] Sir!
Facility Manager: I'm sorry, Obito. We fought to the last man.
Obito: Evidently not. [kills him]
Sasuke: [On a snow covered mountain the Howling Shinobi prepare to zipline onto the train.] Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone back home?
Naruto: Yeah, I and I threw up?
Sasuke: This isn't payback, is it?
Naruto: Now why would I do that?
Killer B: We were right. Zetsu's on the train. Akatsuki dispatcher gave him permission to open up the throttle. Wherever he's going, they must need him bad.
Hanabishi: Let's get going, because they're moving like the devil.
Naruto: We only got about a 10-second window. You miss that window, we're bugs on a windshield.
Hanabishi: Mind the gap.
Iruka: Better get moving, bugs!
Guy: Maintenant! (Now!) [ Naruto, Sasuke and Killer B zippline onto the train.]
Zetsu: [watching Naruto on a monitore, fighting his way through the train] Stop him! Fire again!
Sasuke: [after Naruto helps him out] I had him on the ropes.
Naruto: I know you did. [another trooper with a blaster appears] Get down!
Zetsu: Fire again! Kill him! Now!
Naruto: [Sasuke's been blasted through a hole and is now hanging outside the train.] Sasuke! Hang on! Grab my hand! NO!
[Allied HQ in Kirigakure, Morino brings a tray of food to Zetsu after he's been captured and imprisoned]
Col. Morino: Sit down.
Dr. Zetsu: What is this?
Col. Morino: Steak.
Dr. Zetsu: What is in it?
Col. Morino: Cow. Doctor, do you realize how difficult it is to get ahold of a prime cut like that out here?
Zetsu: I don't eat meat.
Col. Morimo: Why not?
Dr. Zetsu: It disagrees with me.
Col. Morimo: How about cyanide? Does that give you the rumbly tummy too? Every Akatsuki agent that we've tried to take alive has crunched a little pill before we can stop him. But not you. So, here's my brilliant theory. [Morino starts eating the steak.] You wanna live.
Dr. Zetsu: You're trying to intimidate me, Colonel.
Col. Morino: I bought you dinner. [passes him a piece of paper which Zetsu reads out loud]
Dr. Zetsu: 'Given the variable information he has provided, and in exchange for his full cooperation, Dr. Zetsu is being remanded.'
Col. Morino: I sent that message to Konoha this morning. Of course it was encoded. You guys haven't broken those codes, have you? That would be awkward.
Dr. Zetsu: Obito will know this is a lie.
Col. Morino: He's gonna kill you anyway, Doc. You're a liability. You know more about Obito than anyone. And the last guy you cost us was Captain Uzumaki's closest friend. So, I wouldn't count on the very best of protection. There's you or Obito. It's just the hand you've been dealt.
Dr. Zetsu: Obito believes he walks in the foot steps of the Gods.
Col. Morino: Mmm.
Dr. Zetsu: Only the world itself will satisfy him.
Col. Morino: You do realize that's nuts, don't you?
Dr. Zetsu: But the sanity of the plan is of no consequence.
Col. Morino: And why is that?
Dr. Zetsu: Because he can do it!
Col. Morino: What's his target?
Dr. Zetsu: His target... is everywhere.
[Akatsuki main base, Obito adresses his soldier]
Obito: Tomorrow, the Akatsuki will stand master of the world. Our enemies weapons will be powerless against us. If they shoot down one plane, hundreds more will rain fire upon them! If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place. Hail Akatsuki! [his soldiers all start saluting and shouting 'Hail Akatsuki ']
[In Kirgakure, a part of the city destroyed by bombs, formerly the bar where Naruto enlisted the Howling Shinobi. Hinata follows the voice of a radio through the rubble.]
Man on the Radio: Blackout is still in effect throughout the Kirgakure area. Please wait for the all-clear. Your attention, please. All citizens shall remain indoors until further notice. Blackout is still in effect throughout the Kirigakure area.
Naruto [getting himself something to drink] Dr. Jiraiya said that... the serum wouldn't just effect my muscles, it would effect my cells. Create a protective system of regeneration and healing. Which means um...I can't get drunk. Did you know that?
Hinata: Your metabolism burns four times faster than the average person. He thought it could be one of the side effects. [referring to Sasuke getting killed] It wasn't your fault.
Naruto: Did you read the reports?
Hinata: Yes.
Naruto: Then you know that's not true.
Hinata: You did everything you could. Did you believe in your friend? Did you respect him? [Naruto looks at her as if to say yes] Then stop blaming yourself. Allow Sasuke the dignity of his choice. He damn well must have thought you were worth it.
Naruto: I'm goin' after Obito. I'm not gonna stop till all of the Akatsuki is dead or captured.
Hinata: You won't be alone.
[The team prepare a battle plan to take down Tobi at his headquarters]
Morino: Obito Uchiha belongs in a bug house. He thinks he's a God. He's willing to blow up half the world to prove it, starting with the Land of Fire.
Hohenheim: Obito's working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across, he will wipe out the entire eastern sea board in an hour.
Killer B: How much time we got?
Col. Morino: According to my new best friend, under twenty four hours.
Guy: Where is he now?
Morino: The Akatsuki's last base is here. [holding a photo he points to the base] In the Sunagakure. Five hundred feet below the surface.
Killer B: So, what are we supposed to do. I mean, it's not like we can just knock on the front door.
Naruto: Why not? That's exactly what we're gonna do.
[after Naruto has been captured by Akatsuki soldiers and brought to Obito's weapon lab]
Obito: Arrogance may not be a uniquely Land of Fire trait, but I must say you do it better than anyone. But there are limits to what even you can do, Captain. Or did Jiraiya tell you otherwise?
Naruto: He told me you were insane.
Obito: Ah. He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine. But he gave you everything. So, what made you so special?
Naruto: Nothin'. I'm just a kid from Konoha. [after Obito has beaten him] I can do this all day.
Obito: Oh, of course you can. Of course. But unfortunately I am on a tight schedule. [Obito takes out his cube-energy pistol and points it at Naruto]
Naruto: So am I! [just then Naruto's team crashes through the windows of the weapons lab]
Kankurō: Uzumaki![Naruto makes his way through the Akatsuki base which has fallen into chaos with the arrival of more Allied Shinobi.]
Asuma: [into his comm] We're in! Assault team, go!
Morino: [standing outside listening to Killer B] Move out! [the soldiers start running towards the Akatsuki base] Keep your spacing!
[In the Akatsuki base]
Akatsuki Shinobi: Cutt off one head, two more shall... [he's killed by Morino]
Morino: Let's go find two more!
[As Naruto chases Obito he is confronted by a Akatsuki Shinobi with a flame jutsu and saved by Hinata]
Naruto: [after Hinata has killed the Akatsuki soldier] You're late.
Hinata: Weren't you about to...
Naruto: Right. [Naruto continues his chase, but after Obito has boarded the Super Saiyan Naruto is not fast enough to catch the plane. Behind him Morino and Hinata appear in a car and pick him up to chase the plane on the runway.] Keep it steady! [Just as Naruto is about to leap from the roadster onto Obito's plane Hinata stops him]
Hinata: Wait! [she kisses him] Go get him. [Naruto surprised by the kiss looks at Morino]
Morino: I'm not kissin' you!
[Inside the Super Saiyan there are multiple figher planes with their targets written on them: Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Kirigakure After Naruto has managed to disable the fighter planes and their pilots he enters the cockpit where Obito is waiting.]
Obito: You don't give up, do you?
Naruto: Nope! [They fight]
Obito: You could have the power of the gods! Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations! I have seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!
Naruto: Not my future! [He readies his Rasengan at Obito who is thrown into the cubic console.]
Obito/Tobi: What have you done? No. [he picks up the Rinnegan and energy starts to pour from it, revealing a window into space. A stream of blue energy engulfes Obito and takes him into the sky. The cube falls to the ground and burns through it until it falls into the sea below.]
[Naruto takes over the plane's controls, on a screen he reads "Target Konohagakure", and tries the radio which is picked up by the Akatsuki control tower occupied by Hinata, Morino and Asuma.]
Naruto: Come in. This is Captain Uzumaki. Do you read me?
Asuma: Captain Uzumaki, what is your... [Hinata takes his place]
Hinata: Naruto, is that you? Are you alright?
Naruto: Hinata! Obito's dead.
Hinata: What about the plane?
Naruto: That's a little bit tougher to explain.
Hinata: Give me your coordinates, I'll find you a safe landing site.
Naruto: There's not going to be a safe landing. But I can try and force it down.
Hinata: I'll get Hohenheim on the line, he'll know what to do.
Naruto: There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for Konoha. [referring to Obito's plane, speaking through the plane's control] I gotta put her in the water.
Hinata: Please, don't do this. We have time. We can work it out.
Naruto: Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are gonna die. Hinata, this is my choice. [as he's forcing the plane down towards the water] Hinata?
Hinata: I'm here.
Naruto: I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance.
Hinata: [with tears in her eyes] Alright. A week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club.
Naruto: You got it.
Hinata: Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?
Naruto: You know, I still don't know how to dance.
Hinata: I'll show you how. Just be there.
Naruto: We'll have the band play somethin' slow. I'd hate to step on your... [the line goes static and Hinata begins to cry]
Hinata: Naruto? Naruto? Naruto?
[Later, the world celebrates the victory over the Akatsuki. The Howling Shinobi are in a bar.]
Mikagami: To the Captain. [They drink]
[Hohenheim on his search for the Super Saiyan in the arctic sea on a ship. They've found the Rinnegan.]
Hohenheim's Engineer: Sir? [Hohehnheim steps to him and watches on a screen how a submarine grabs the cube.]
Hohenheim: [to the captain] Take us to the next grid point.
Hohenheim's Engineer: But there's not trace of wreckage. And the energy signature stops here.
Hohenheim: Just keep looking.
[After Naruto has been missing for some time, we see him awaken in hospital and he can hear a baseball game on an old radio when a woman walks into the room]
Dodgers Announcer: [over the radio] Curve ball, high and outside for ball one. So the Dodgers are tied, 4-4. And the crowd well knows that with one swing of his bat, this fellow's capable of making it a brand-new game again. Just an absolutely gorgeous day here at Ebbets Field. The Phillies have managed to tie up at 4-4. But the Dodgers have three men on. Pearson beaned Reiser in Philadelphia last month. Wouldn't the youngster like a hit here to return the favour? Pete leans in. Here's the pitch. Swung on. A line to the right. And it gets past Rizzo. Three runs will score. Reiser heads to third. Durocher's going to wave him in. Here comes the relay, but they won't get him. [the door opens and an agent walks in]
Anbu Black Ops kunoichi: Good morning. [she checks her watch] Or should I say, afternoon?
Naruto: Where am I?
Anbu Black Ops kunoichi: You're in a recovery room in Komoha.
Dodgers Announcer: The Dodgers take the lead, 8-4. Oh, Dodgers! Everyone is on their feet. What a game we have here today, folks. What a game indeed.
Naruto: [he looks at her suspiciously] Where am I really?
Anbu Black Ops kunoichi: I'm afraid I don't understand.
Naruto: The game, it's from May, nineteen forty one. I know, cause I was there. [he gets up from the bed] Now, I'm gonna ask you again. Where am I?
Anbu Black Ops kunoichi: Captain Uzumaki... [she secretly pushes an alarm]
Naruto: Who are you? [two soldiers in black uniform enter the room and Naruto knocks them through the wall. Naruto realizes that he's on a some kind of made up set and he runs out of there.]
Anbu Black Ops kunoichi: Captain Uzumaki, wait! [into a comm] All agents, code 13! I repeat. All agents, code 13!
[Naruto finds himself in 2011's Tokyo he looks around him in shock, numerous SUV's encircle him and Kakashi steps out of one of the vehicles]
Kakashi Hatake: At ease, soldier! Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but... we thought it best to break it to you slowly.
Naruto: Break what?
Kakashi: You've been asleep, Naruto. For years. [Naruto looks around him in shock] You gonna be okay?
Naruto: Yeah. Yeah. I just...I had a date.
[lines after end of credits; Naruto is pummeling a punching bag in a gym and in anger knocks it off it's chain, sending it flying across the room when Kakashi enters the gym]
Kakashi: Trouble sleeping?
Naruto: You're here with a mission, sir?
Kakashi: I am.
Naruto: Trying to get me back in the world?
Kakashi: Trying to save it.
[End of Captain Konoha: The First Avenger]
