I love you.

Thank you for watching!

What is it?

Where am I?

Who's there?

It's me.

A long time ago.

Father and mother shouldn't have died. It didn't have to happen.

They're all dead.

Because I wasn't strong enough to save them.

My whole clan has been destroyed.

I'm tired of you showing off in front of Sasuke and trying to get all of the

credit. These Leaf Village worms will be sorry they squirmed their way into

something that doesn't concern them.

Are you two crazy? What are we doing here?

These guys are bad news, man.

Don't look at me. It was Ino's idea.

But what are we supposed to do? Just sit back and let a girl do all the

fighting?

Sorry for dragging you both into this.

But we are a three -man squad, right? All for one and one for all.

Yeah, what's meant to happen will.

This ain't teamwork.

I call this suicide.

Let me out of here, please. Doc Woodland, you're getting on my nerves.

Better a live sheep than a dead lion.

Right, Fatso?

Did I just hear that right?

What did that guy just say?

Huh? Uh -oh, he just pushed Choji's button big time.

You want to try saying that again?

I said you're smart to get out while you still can, fatty.

Who are you calling fat? I'm just a little chubby old cat!

Now this is personal.

It's a fight to the death between leaf and sound.

You totally lost it. Good job. Thanks a lot. Now we gotta live with him.

Don't worry. It won't be for long.

We gotta get rid of these clowns. Sasuke's the target.

Oh, Sasuke.

Sakura.

Your teammates are down.

Look after them.

Okay, Team Eno.

Let's show them who's boss.

Got it.

Formation! Eno! Chica!

Okay,

take it away, Choji.

My pleasure.

Expansion Jutsu!

Followed by Leaf Style Taijutsu!

Maybe I'm supposed to laugh myself to death.

Slicing sound wave!

What?

It jumped the airstream!

It's spinning way too fast.

My sound wave can't control it.

And if I try going supersonic on it, it's liable to rip my arms off.

Huh? Saku!

Oh no, you don't, Mummy Man. Time to put you under wraps.

Ninja Art! Shadow Possession!

What's happening?

Just me and my shadow.

What is it? Why are

you just standing there like that?

That's some kind of paralysis jutsu.

Eno, I'll leave the girl to you.

Okay, you got it. Just take care of my body while I'm gone.

Sure.

What's wrong with you?

Party's over, fellas.

Take it easy.

One false move from either of you and your teammate here gets it in the neck.

You don't want that to happen. So here's what you do. Just drop the scroll and

walk away.

When you're far enough away that I can't sense your chakras, I'll let her go.

I don't get these guys.

Something's wrong.

Hey, Toji!

This is bad.

I don't feel so good.

I don't understand you guys.

What kind of monster would attack their own teammate?

I guess monsters like us.

You see, we don't play this game by your rules. It's not the Skrulls we're after

or even passing this test.

What then?

Sasuke.

So, your paralysis jutsu has a pretty limited duration, I see.

Shadow possession jutsu. Get your jutsus right.

Whatever. And I see that your teammate is able to slip her soul into her

opponent. Very clever, but dangerous.

Anything that happens to Keen happens to her, too.

So if, say, Keen were to die... What are you gonna do?

Kill your teammate?

Well, if push comes to shove, yeah.

Oh, man, what a drag.

Yeah, no kidding.

Did you really think you could beat us? Face it, you ninja are just a bunch of

hacks. From a second -rate village.

Huh. That's pretty tough talk.

I guess that makes your village third -rate. I wonder if any of you amateurs

ready to take on the real thing.

What?

Please, team. I wondered when they'd get here.

You blew it.

These genin keep popping out of the woods like cockroaches.

It looks to me like somebody used our teammate as a punching bag.

No one does that and gets away with it.

His eyes.

He's not just looking at us. He's seeing through us.

No more playing around, Ten -Ten.

Full power!

What's the matter, Neji?

That chakra.

Well, are you going to stay up there all day, or are you going to come down here

and do something about it?

Actually, it looks like it might have been taken out of my hands.

Because I was weak.

Everyone died.

I couldn't save them.

If only I'd been stronger.

If only I'd had more power.

Instead,

you stood by and watched them die.

So helpless. Like lambs to the slaughter.

If only you were stronger.

If only.

You had more power.

Who did this to you?

Who was it?

Those marks, they're all over his body.

What happened to you?

Don't worry.

I'm alright.

It's only the power flowing through me.

In fact, I've never felt better.

He gave me this gift.

And he made me understand what I am.

I'm an Avenger.

To follow my path, I must have power. At any price.

Even if it means being consumed by evil.

Now I see.

Those marks on the neck that the girl spoke of, they were a curse mark.

But who would have thought he'd survive?

More than survive.

Sakura, tell me, which one of these people did this to you?

That'd be me.

Eno!

Hurry up and get back in your body!

You don't want to get involved in this. You too, Choji. Come on. Get out of

there. I'm coming.

Mind transfer.

Release.

Atta girl. Good to have you back.

Shikamaru.

What's this all about?

What's going on?

How should I know?

What is this?

This changes everything!

His chakra is too big!

Too powerful!

We can't fight that!

Zosu! What's wrong? You're not getting cold feet, are ya? No! Saku! You don't

understand!

Watch this!

I'll take care of the whole bunch of them in one fell swoop!

Super Sonic Slice and Wave!

What

do

you know?

Blew them all away. Not quite.

Zaku!

Such speed.

He got both his teammates out of harm's way in the blink of an eye.

Fire style!

Phoenix Flower Jutsu!

I don't think so.

Try this!

In the flames!

Shuriken!

Zaku, get down!

It's completely different.

It's fiercer.

Darker. Can that really be, Sasuke?

You seem to be very proud of these arms of yours.

You must be very attached to them.

No! What are you doing?

You want it, Sasuke.

You want power, don't you, boy?

It looks like you're the only one left.

I hope you make things more interesting than your friend did.

Whoever that is, it's not Sasuke.

We're safe for now.

Sasuke!

You're strong, Sasuke.

Too strong.

We can't hope to defeat you the way you are now.

We'll strike a deal.

I give you this scroll and you let us go.

It would seem we underestimated you, but at least we found out what we needed to

know.

For the moment, we're even.

But if it should happen that we ever again meet in combat, I promise you, we

won't run or hide.

Wait!

I don't know.

All I know is that we were told to target Sasuke, and we did.

I don't know why he sent us to assassinate someone on whom he bestowed

powers.

I don't know why Sasuke even survived the curse mark.

There are many things I don't know.

Eno, you look after Lee. We'll check out the kid. Right.

That was no normal chakra.

I had no idea the Uchiha clan was so strong.

Sakura's in danger.

I'll protect her.

Don't worry, Sakura. It's okay. I'll save you.

Whoa, somebody ought to kick him and wake him up.

This is embarrassing.

Can I kick him first?

Just what am I?

Thank you.

Can you hear me?

It's okay.

No!

What was that for?

Next time, Akamaru trembles. Gaara's cruel strength.

Hey, has he had all his shots?
