Naruto: Shippûden (2007–2017): Season 1, Episode 23 - 'Chichi' to 'Haha' - full transcript

The greatest advantage of the puppets created from humans is that one can take over the jutsu that the human used while alive. Hence, the puppet of the Third Kazekage has the special ability to convert chakra into magnetic power. Chiyo and Sakura take cover, and Sasori wastes no time unleashing a ruthless attack. Chiyo fights back to protect Sakura, but in an instant the Father and Mother puppets are sealed by the Iron Sand. As Sasori rushes in for the final blow, Sakura makes a decision.

This is getting messy...
I better hurry up and use this thing.

As I thought, that puppet...
uses the Third Kazekage's Jutsu...!

You haven't seen this in
a while, have you...?

This Jutsu is why the Third Kazekage
was praised as the most powerful.

I'm gonna turn you guys into mush.

What the heck is that?

That was the most feared weapon
of the Hidden Sand.

The Iron Sand.

Iron Sand...?

The Third developed that Jutsu

by basing it on the Jutsu used
by the former Shukaku wielder.

It changes the Iron Sand
into various shapes,

creating weapons according
to the situation.

The Third Kazekage had a special body

that could change the Chakra
into magnetism.

Similarly, it appears that puppet

also can change the Chakra
into magnetism.

What do you mean?

Even though the actual body of
The Third Kazekage was used,

it's still just a doll, right?

Why does a doll have the Chakra?

No... A Human Puppet made
from an actual living body

is fundamentally different
from these normal ones

like the "mother" and
"father" puppets.

A Human Puppet can only
be made by Sasori...

and that is made while
the living Chakra still is embodied.

And by doing so, it can use the person's
Jutsu from its previous life.

That's the biggest benefit
of the "Human Puppet."

That's not all.

After all,
this is my favorite collection.

Sakura, get out of here.

I will take care of the rest.

This is way too unexpected.

That Puppet makes it impossible for you.

But!

You're too slow!

Iron Sand: Scattered Showers!

Oh shoot!

Did you alter it a little?
A Chakra shield, huh?

Looks like it's been upgraded

compared to the time
I was playing with them.

As expected, due to
the Iron Sand, my moves...

Don't you know that you have to dodge
this Jutsu and not shield it?

Seems like you could barely
let the chick go.

I inserted the Iron Sand
into his entire body.

As long as I have the Third's magnetism,
that one's done for.

Let's see... I will aim at both
of you and attack at once.

In order to ensure an definite kill,
I will form it into a lethal weapon.

I won't let you get away
a second time...

With only one puppet,
you can't guard the both of you.

What are you going to do, Granny?

Who is gonna die?

Father and Mother

Though only the arm...
Turning your own body into a puppet...

As fellow Puppet Masters,
it seems... we think the same way.

What's going on?

He's the same as before...
He hasn't aged.

I see. I get it now...

It's the end if the Iron Sand gets in.

Let's see...
The puppet has ceased.

What are you going to do,
Granny Chiyo?

I-Impossible...

Damn you...

White Fang of the Leaf...!

Sasori...

Granny Chiyo, please buy me
snacks on the way back.

Yeah... why not...

Granny Chiyo.

How is it, Sasori...?

This is the Puppet Master Jutsu
passed down

from generation to generation.

Don't you want to learn it?

Huh? Can you teach me?

Now... come with me.

Lined up here are the prototype

and incomplete puppets made
in the Hidden Sand Village.

Sasori...

You can use everything here,
why don't you make your own puppet?

My own puppet?

Th-This is...!

The world's best Puppet Master
is just a human

without the puppets, huh.

How could I let this...?

Now then, what should
I do with this situation?

Sakura... In any case, you need to go!

Sakura? What's wrong?
Hurry up!

I told you...
that it is impossible for you.

I will take care of this...
So run!

Run?

Leaving Granny Chiyo...
and me alone...?

No, there should be something...

There should be something
even I can do.

What I can do now...?

That is...

Granny Chiyo...

Please use me!

What I can do now...

is to become Granny Chiyo's
puppet and fight.

If you use me, he can't stop
my moves with the Iron Sand.

I am left with one arm.

I can't support you like before.

I'm okay...

True, I don't have a great weapon
like the puppet, but...

Like my master, I have guts!

Princess Tsunade, huh...

The Third's power is magnetism.

Therefore, weapons made from
iron and steel won't work.

Excellent! I am also like my master
when it comes to fighting with the fist.

That again... Ridiculous.

Here I go!

You...

Here I come!

Naruto Shippuden is
becoming more exciting.

In the next episode,
my beloved Sakura is in big trouble.

Plus, Sasori...

Sorry to interrupt,
but there is breaking news.

There was a local earthquake
centered on the river country.

A cave has collapsed in some areas.

Aftershocks are still continuing
so please be cautious.

Ah, Oh no, due to that news,
our preview comment got—

Next time: "The Third Kazekage"
What? Then let's try this
one more time...
