Thank you for

watching!

The rules for this match are the same as in the preliminaries. The match

continues until one of you dies or admits defeat.

However, I can stop the match, but that's solely my decision.

Hello, guy.

How are you feeling, Lee?

Are you all right?

Kakashi. Kakashi -sensei!

Oh, right.

Sorry about that. You must have been worried.

Sorry for not keeping in touch.

Uh -oh.

Sakura's gonna get really mad.

I don't mind.

That's okay.

It's too hard to see from here.

Listen, Sensei.

You know that there was a mark on Sasuke's neck, right?

Well, is it... It's nothing to worry about.

A mark?

So, that's that.

Two. Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Eight of them.

Eight members of the Anbu Black Ops in an arena this size? That's nowhere near

enough.

What could Lord Hokage be thinking?

Well, not knowing how the enemy is going to act, the Anbu Black Ops have...

Hmm?

Sorry, did you say something?

Oh, you make me so mad, Kakashi!

Oh, why do you always have to act so cool?

Both of you, to the middle.

Begin!

So this is the sand Kakashi talked about.

Please. I beg you. Don't get so mad at me.

Mother.

What in the world is he talking about?

Earlier, I... I know.

I meant to taste such awful blood.

I'm so sorry.

But this time, I'm sure that it'll taste so very

good.

His conversation has started already.

That's dangerous.

I know. This is the first time I've seen Goda get like that before fighting.

That's how powerful an opponent Sasuke is.

Watch.

Thank goodness.

He's finally calmed down.

Naruto, do you remember yesterday?

What Gaara said?

I do.

For sure.

All the fame I will kill you. Just you wait.

I'll kill you all.

That's what he said.

But then he didn't do it.

It was the perfect opportunity, buddy.

I don't know. It was like he didn't even see us or something.

Now, let me feel alive.

We're not good enough.

Not for that guy.

Right now, the only person that can make him feel anything...

The only one is Sasuke.

I live solely for myself. I love only myself.

And there's no end to it as long as there are still people to kill in this

world.

I will never disappear.

Naruto.

Here goes.

The sand field

became a sand clone.

Incredible! He's almost as fast as Lee's normal speed!

It is almost like a mirror image of my own Taijutsu!

So that's your sand armor, huh?

Come on!

Hey, thanks for all your help, Anbu guy.

So it looks like Hinata's gonna make a full recovery if she can just get them

wrecked.

Oh, is that right?

What's wrong?

What, you know this guy?

Come on, there's no way you could.

He's an Anbu black op.

Hold on, I don't get it. What are you talking about?

At the examination?

This is what he's talking about.

Come on.

If you won't do it, then I will!

What's

the

matter, Gaara?

Is that all you got?

Amazing!

I'm going to tear off all your armor!

His speed is basically the same as Lee's with his witching move.

That's exactly like Lee's Taiju move.

Sasuke has way more speed than he ever did before.

Remarkable, Sasuke.

Really remarkable.

You are truly a genius.

A greater ninja than I ever imagined.

I mean, how many years did it take me to attain that speed?

And you achieved the same result in just a month!

But it sure looks like it takes a lot of stamina for him to maintain that speed.

What's Gaara going to do now?

That sand armor uses up too much chakra.

It won't last for very much longer.

His training. What did you two do?

To get to such a level. In a mere month.

Sasuke has copied Lee's taijutsu with his shoting gun.

So during the Taijutsu training I did with Sasuke, I simply had him imagine

Lee's movement and cut it.

Sasuke mastered that Taijutsu only because he knew Lee.

Of course, Sasuke had to work very hard to master it, even with his Sharingan.

But that Sand Ninja, he is way too tough for that. He cannot be taken down with

only that Taijutsu.

If Kakashi saw the battle between Gaara and Lee, then why did he...

After all,

that Taijutsu Sasuke learned from Lee can't suddenly work against an opponent

that even Lee himself couldn't defeat.

But Kakashi must have known this.

So why did he have Sasuke master only Taijutsu?

Why go on living?

But in order to live, you need a purpose.

To exist for no reason. It's the same as being dead.

What is this guy talking about?

Then in time, the answer came to me.

To put it simply, my reason for living is in the killing of others.

For years, I lived in fear of those who were sent to murder me.

But now I am at peace.

Huh?

Shikamaru!

We have to go talk to Kakashi -sensei right now!

What are you planning to do?

Hey, wait!

I've gotta stop him! I've gotta stop the mech!

Gaara couldn't possibly be planning to use that jutsu.

So he's used all the sand as a shield.

Because of the sand's density, I didn't think he could create something this

hard.

So he's absolutely protected.

The sand!

It covered his entire body!

What an effective infection defense.

Will Sasuke be able to get around it?

Kakashi Sensei!

Naruto!

What is it, Naruto?

Sensei, please!

You just have to stop this match right away!

What?

The guy Sasuke is fighting is completely different than the rest of us.

He's about as far from normal as you can get.

Naruto, slow down.

What are you trying to say?

He thinks his point in life is to kill people.

Don't you see?

If this continues, Sasuke will die!

No doubt about it.

It's that jutsu.

This is bad.

Gaara isn't even thinking about our plan at all.

Thank you.

to be ashamed of.

Don't leave these scars behind.

You just have to walk with a smile on your face.

Change your sadness into the wind.

You just have to move forward strongly.

You just have to move forward strongly.

Sasuke, once I fought you, and I arrogantly said, it is no use if your

me, if your body is too slow to do anything about it. But now, you have

the same super speed as I do. And on top of that, you also have your Sharingan.

Next time, late for the show, but ready to go. The ultimate secret technique is

born. I wish I could fight like you, Sasuke.
