Opening Sypnosis
Two and a half years later, a Naruto more matured in many ways is seen walking somewhere when Iruka, Sakura, Gaara, and Sasuke are shown. Naruto then grins and sprints off while some of his allies are are shown. Kakashi activates his Sharingan, Sakura hits the screen, and Naruto forms the shadow-clone hand-sign, and the new Naruto: Shippūden logo is presented. Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi are seen running. Team Guy with Kankuro, Temari and Naruto show some of their skills before Naruto counts 3,2,1 and makes a thumps down sign. More of his allies and enemies are shown. Gaara appears fading into what appears to be sand, and then he clenches his fists as sand pours down on his hand while Naruto, Sakura and his brother and sister yell out to him. The Akatsuki is shown as Naruto begins to form into one of his Nine Tails' Transformations. He then appears smiling on a beach and walks toward the allies of his current mission to save the Kazekage. With Kakashi and Sakura behind him, he counts 1,2,3 and brings out a Kunai.
