"The Retired Granny's Determination" (隠居ババアの決意, Inkyo Babā no Ketsui) is episode 12 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Summary

As the Akatsuki extraction continues, Pakkun relays his discovery of Akatsuki's hideout to Kakashi, unaware that Zetsu is watching the entrance. Kakashi asks Pakkun to find Team Guy and redirect them to the Land of Rivers, which is between Sunagakure and Konohagakure, where the Akatsuki base is located. Team Kakashi gets ready to set out along with Temari and a Suna squad, but Baki tells her that the Suna Council has asked that no Suna shinobi take part in the Kazekage Rescue Mission, due to the belief that if any of their enemies were to discover Gaara was kidnapped, it would result in an attack on the village. Chiyo, however, claims that she is retired and therefore is not bound to follow the Council's orders and tags along with Team Kakashi, forming the new Kazekage Rescue Team.

Pakkun locates Team Guy and relays Kakashi's message; Zetsu, who is watching, relays the information to the Akatsuki leader. Zetsu tells him that the intruder is none other than Might Guy. Despite the leader not knowing who he is, Itachi explains that Guy is a Konoha shinobi whose expertise lies in taijutsu. As he has a personal score to settle and the most chakra out of the entire group, Kisame is chosen to ward off Team Guy.

In the woods, Sakura asks Naruto how long the Akatsuki have been after him. Kakashi tells her that the Akatsuki once came to Konoha in search of Naruto, but that it was three years ago. Sakura asks why they waited so long to make a move once more, and Kakashi theorises that it may have been due to the fact that Naruto was under Jiraiya's care and that the Akatsuki did not want to engage him. Chiyo, however, sets the record straight, stating that the Akatsuki waited three years in order to properly prepare for the extraction of tailed beasts. When Sakura asks what she means, Chiyo is surprised that a student of Tsunade does not even know about the tailed beast that Konoha harbors. Kakashi tells Chiyo that the topic of the Nine-Tailed Fox is taboo in Konoha and is considered classified information. Chiyo goes on to explain that there are nine tailed beasts in the world, who are monstrous beings of chakra, and that many ninja villages fought for control over them for military purposes. She tells them that the One-Tailed Shukaku was in Suna's possession for many years, while the Nine-Tailed Fox was under Konoha's. While most villages tended to forget about the beasts after the war, she remarks that the nine-tailed beasts are still out there in the world. Naruto takes this as a grim revelation, as he realises that he and Gaara are not alone in the world and that more of their kind will be hunted by the Akatsuki. Unknown to them, Zetsu is observing them, and notifies the Akatsuki that a squad of Konoha shinobi are also on their tail. Deidara is immediately blamed for leaving a trail leading to their hideout, and Itachi is dispatched to deal with them.

En route to the Land of Rivers, Neji is able to sense that someone is following them and uses his Byakugan to pinpoint their follower's location. Kisame pops out of the ground, ready to wreak his revenge, but is slightly irritated that Guy does not remember him. Nonetheless, he prepares to attack Guy and jog his memory. At the same time, Team Kakashi is stopped in their tracks by Itachi. Chiyo recognises his Sharingan eyes, and Naruto tells Sakura who he is. Sakura realises that she is face to face with the man who has caused Sasuke so much pain and is angered to be in his presence.

+== Summary ==
-{{translation|'''The Retired Granny's Determination'''|隠居ババアの決意|Inkyo babaa no ketsui}} is episode 12 of the ''Naruto: Shippūden'' anime.
+As the [[Akatsuki]] extraction continues, [[Pakkun]] relays his discovery of Akatsuki's hideout to [[Kakashi]], unaware that [[Zetsu]] is watching the entrance. Kakashi asks Pakkun to find [[Team Guy]] and redirect them to the [[Land of Rivers]], which is between [[Sunagakure]] and [[Konohagakure]], where the Akatsuki base is located. [[Team Kakashi]] gets ready to set out along with [[Temari]] and a Suna squad, but [[Baki]] tells her that the [[Suna Council]] has asked that no Suna shinobi take part in the [[Kazekage Rescue Mission]], due to the belief that if any of their enemies were to discover [[Gaara]] was kidnapped, it would result in an attack on the village. [[Chiyo]], however, claims that she is retired and therefore is not bound to follow the Council's orders and tags along with Team Kakashi, forming the new [[Kazekage Rescue Team]].
+Pakkun locates Team Guy and relays Kakashi's message; Zetsu, who is watching, relays the information to [[Pain|the Akatsuki leader]]. Zetsu tells him that the intruder is none other than [[Might Guy]]. Despite the leader not knowing who he is, [[Itachi]] explains that Guy is a Konoha shinobi whose expertise lies in taijutsu. As he has a personal score to settle and the most chakra out of the entire group, [[Kisame]] is chosen to ward off Team Guy.
-== Synopsis ==
-As the [[Akatsuki]] sealing continues, [[Pakkun]] finds the organization's hideout.
-That same night in the Sand Village, [[Chiyo]] unlocks a chest and takes the two scrolls. That morning, Pakkun relays his discovery of Akatsuki's hideout to [[Kakashi]], who has one more task for Pakkun to accomplish. Once [[Naruto]] wakes up, everyone gets ready to set out. Well, everyone except for [[Kankurō]], who is still trying to force himself. However, [[Temari]] promises that she'll bring [[Gaara]] back.
+In the woods, [[Sakura]] asks [[Naruto]] how long the Akatsuki have been after him. Kakashi tells her that the Akatsuki once came to Konoha in search of Naruto, but that it was three years ago. Sakura asks why they waited so long to make a move once more, and Kakashi theorises that it may have been due to the fact that Naruto was under [[Jiraiya]]'s care and that the Akatsuki did not want to engage him. Chiyo, however, sets the record straight, stating that the Akatsuki waited three years in order to properly prepare for the extraction of [[Tailed Beast|tailed beasts]]. When Sakura asks what she means, Chiyo is surprised that a student of Tsunade does not even know about the tailed beast that Konoha harbors. Kakashi tells Chiyo that the topic of the [[Nine-Tailed Fox]] is taboo in Konoha and is considered classified information. Chiyo goes on to explain that there are nine tailed beasts in the world, who are monstrous beings of chakra, and that many ninja villages fought for control over them for military purposes. She tells them that the [[One-Tailed Shukaku]] was in Suna's possession for many years, while the Nine-Tailed Fox was under Konoha's. While most villages tended to forget about the beasts after the war, she remarks that the nine-tailed beasts are still out there in the world. Naruto takes this as a grim revelation, as he realises that he and Gaara are not alone in the world and that more of [[Jinchūriki|their kind]] will be hunted by the Akatsuki. Unknown to them, Zetsu is observing them, and notifies the Akatsuki that a squad of Konoha shinobi are also on their tail. [[Deidara]] is immediately blamed for leaving a trail leading to their hideout, and Itachi is dispatched to deal with them.
-Before anyone can take off, however, [[Baki]] intervenes and tells Temari that she and her squad will remain in the village on border patrol as an order by their superiors. Now that Gaara is no longer around, any other village could attack at any moment, so their defenses need to be boosted. However, Gaara is their Kazekage, so someone from the Sand needs to accompany the Leaf shinobi on the mission. It's at this point that Chiyo steps in and volunteers herself.
+En route to the Land of Rivers, [[Neji]] is able to sense that someone is following them and uses his [[Byakugan]] to pinpoint their follower's location. Kisame pops out of the ground, ready to wreak his revenge, but is slightly irritated that Guy does not remember him. Nonetheless, he prepares to attack Guy and jog his memory. At the same time, Team Kakashi is stopped in their tracks by Itachi. Chiyo recognises his [[Sharingan]] eyes, and Naruto tells Sakura who he is. Sakura realises that she is face to face with the man who has caused [[Sasuke]] so much pain and is angered to be in his presence.
-The Akatsuki continue to extract [[Shukaku]] from Gaara and the eyes of the giant statue slowly begin to open, one by one.
+== Credits ==
-[[Team Guy]]'s journey is interrupted when Pakkun meets them. He tells them that Kakashi and the others are headed to the [[Land of Rivers]], which is between the Sand Village and the Leaf Village. So, [[Guy]]'s team is closer to Akatsuki than anyone else is for the time being.

-Elsewhere in the forests, [[Sakura]] asks Naruto how long Akatsuki has been after him, but even he doesn't know the exact answer to that. [[Itachi]] and [[Kisame]] came after Naruto almost three years ago, but they're only starting to move again just now as opposed to earlier. While Kakashi believes it has to do with Naruto being around Jiraiya all of the time, Chiyo's sources say different. A lot of preparation goes into extracting a [[Tailed Beasts|Tailed Beast]], such as Shukaku from a person's body. Not everyone in the Leaf Village would know that because the [[Nine-Tailed Fox]] is one of those topics that are better off not discussed. The Tailed Beasts contain enormous amounts of chakra and were wanted during the Great Ninja War when villages could use their power for their own personal gain.

-[[Zetsu]], after viewing Pakkun's meeting with Team Guy with his real body, informs the other members of Leaf shinobi possibly on their way. Having dealt with Guy earlier, Itachi and Kisame tell of how he uses taijutsu. [[Hidan]] volunteers to go because he hasn't found his Jinchūriki yet, but Kisame decides he will go because he owes Guy for that kick he gave him awhile back when he and Itachi first came to the Leaf. For [[Shapeshifting Technique|"that"]] technique to work, however, the leader will need thirty percent of Itachi's and Kisame's chakra.
