Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you.

sooner and sooner.

Sasuke, listen to me. You have got to quit.

Huh? You've been like this ever since you tangled with the Roji Maru, and it's

getting worse.

Didn't waste any time, did they?

I couldn't ask for anything more.

You have been chosen for the first match.

Yoroyokado. And Sasuke Uchiha.

Are there any objections?

None here.

No.

The pain won't go away.

That curse mark giving you trouble.

Don't use your shine gun.

So you know about it.

If that mark on your neck gets out of control, your life could be in danger.

I'm aware of that.

Just to let you know, if it gets to that point, I'll have to step in and stop

the fight.

Good luck.

Stop the fight?

This thing, it seems to be responding in my chakra.

I've got to fight him without using my shutting gun. And even my own jutsu is

off limits.

Maybe I can make him laugh himself to death.

The thing is, Sasuke, Yoroi's unique skills are going to be disastrous for

Then if you're ready, let the match begin.

What the?

My chakra, what are you doing?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You're just noticing it now?

Cookie Brown's jealousy!

Lion's Barrage, unleashed!

chakra! He's stealing it from me!

You finally caught on, huh?

That's right, son.

He's draining your chakra.

Yoroi has an extraordinary ninja art at his fingertips.

He can absorb an opponent's spiritual and physical energy with the palm of his

hand.

And once the last drop of your chakra has been drained from you, Sasuke,

have no other choice but to rely on the power of the curse mark.

Go on.

Release that delicious forbidden power.

Set it free.

It's the only chance you have of saving yourself.

So, you've still got some strength left, huh?

Impressive. For a guinea pig.

Whoa, that was close.

Don't worry, little man.

I'll make it short and sweet.

What's the matter? Is that really the best you can do?

Don't have the speed to keep away from him. And don't have a chance in a close

quarters fight. I need to think of something fast.

The great Sasuke Uchiha.

Is that all he's got?

Come on, Sasuke!

Where's he goes?

Huh?

Where'd he go?

That's my moon!

What the?

Huh?

Oh, I admit it. I kind of borrowed that moon.

But from here on in, it's all original.

A dancing leaf shadow!

Now pick this!

Shut up, loser.

Don't write me off yet.

Is this it?

No! I won't let this thing take over.

No way!

Here we go.

Who's no match for who?

Well, this one's had it.

I'm declaring this match over.

As the winner of this preliminary round, Sasuke Uchiha advances to the finals.

Way to go!

Hmm.

Not bad.

Hmm.

Funny. Before the Lion's Barrage, your technique was very reminiscent of Guy's

Taijutsu. You must have used your Sharingan to copy it when you fought

Lee that time.

You okay?

Hey, Sasuke!

You won, but in such an uncool way. You came out looking like you're the one who

got beat up.

Idiot. Give me a break, you little...

Jill, it's my turn.

Rock Lee, if I hadn't seen your moves up close when we went head to head, this

one would have turned out badly.

Still,

I don't think it's a technique I want to use very often.

Amazing. He only saw me do it once, and he was able to copy it perfectly.

Shotting gun!

So that is your special ability.

You really are something, Sasuke.

You just keep getting stronger all the time.

You make me almost a little nervous.

Hmm, impressive.

But you can't expect to master high -speed Type 22 and Lotus movements just

that. They take more than shotgun.

They take blood and sweat and brutal training that whittles away your flesh.

Even so, that last move of yours... Hmm.

He reminds me of you, Kakashi, when you were young.

I wonder when we'll find out which one's stronger.

The kid is something else. You have already developed his shotting guard to

a level.

And to think, you haven't even seen his full Uchiha ability yet.

You can't believe it.

The way the curse mark receded, as if he'd gained control over it.

Oh, no.

Not again.

Well, well, so that's how it's done.

I knew all the time he'd be okay.

This could be the end of the line for us.

Man, I'm hungry.

It wasn't anything that special.

Magnificent.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Maybe you should come along to the infirmary too and let us treat your

I think you're out of your league with this one.

I'll look after him.

Okay, up you go. You're coming with me.

We've got to seal that curse mark.

Before the preliminaries are over?

I want to see who gets to go on to the finals.

Forget it. And don't even think of arguing.

If we leave it any longer, who knows, it may be too late.

I've already cut you enough slack as it is.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, Sakura.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but did you see any weird marks on Sasuke's neck during

the fight?

You've got to promise me you won't tell Naruto about the curse mark.

Why?

There's nothing he can do about it.

And we're a team.

It doesn't do us any good if he's worried about me.

What mark?

I didn't see it.

Oh, okay.

Uh, okay then.

Let's move right on to the second match.

Which sucker is that?

Step forward, please.

Very good.

Now, if you're both ready, then we'll begin.

That's that sound, Village Shinobi.

The one who had his arms broken by Sasuke.

You seem to be very proud of these arms of yours. Very attached to them.

What? What are you doing?

How is he going to fight with those arms?

He's okay.

Don't you worry about him.

He's the last person here I'd ever want to take on.

Candidates ready?

Begin. Well, Zaku, how you pull this one off will be a sight to see.

If you fight me, you won't be able to recover.

Forfeit and withdraw.

Well, what do you know? I've got a little movement in one of them.

One good arm is more than enough to beat you!

You couldn't beat me using both your arms.

Yeah, well, I've got news for you!

Drive -in!

Rising Soundwave!

It'll be over quickly.

You ready?

Now the next time that curse mark starts acting up, the seals should keep it in

check. But remember, this curse -feeling jutsu is only as strong

as you are. It derives its power from the strength of your will.

If that will ever weakens, if you ever begin to doubt yourself, the curse will

be unleashed in all its fury.

Amazing.

Too tired to even argue.

My, how you've grown.

To think you've become strong enough to perform the curse -sealing jutsu.

You.

Long time no see, Captain.

Orochimaru

Thank you.

What snake pit in hell did you crawl out from, and why?

What do you want with Satuke?

I don't care if you are one of the legendary Sanin. I won't back down,

Orochimaru. If you want him, you'll have to kill me first.

Next time, Kakashi and Orochimaru, face to face.

I'm gonna stop you, here and now!
