Thank you for

watching.

. .

What did you do with that?

What a peaceful little village.

Can't say much for the security, though.

This village really ought to be taught a lesson.

We could just stroll right in there and wipe them all out.

Don't even start, Sakon.

That's right. We're not here to wipe anybody out.

What's wrong, Tubby? You scared?

Why don't you do us all a favor and go back to bed?

All right, Ayuya. Everybody just calm down.

We all know what our mission is, right?

We're here as an escort for a very special guest.

What do you two think you're doing up here?

That was a little intense for just a sparring match, wasn't it? What's wrong

with you two?

No doubt about it, that jutsu...

It was the Rasengan.

But Naruto mastering that jutsu... How is it possible?

What were you thinking?

Were you really going to kill him, Sasuke?

You've really got to watch this sense of superiority you have.

That Chidori.

It was not the size you'd aim at a comrade from the Leaf Village.

When are you finally going to grow up, Sasuke?

Did meeting up with Itachi cause this?

So much for teamwork.

I'm assuming it was you who taught him that technique.

You don't think maybe he's a little young to be handling that jutsu?

After all, he could have killed Sasuke.

I know you want to protect him from the Akatsuki, but still, to entrust him with

a jutsu like that... Aren't you a fine one to talk?

Teaching the Chidori to someone like Sasuke.

I knew he was a hothead, but I never imagined he'd be willing to use a jutsu

that powerful against a comrade from his own village.

Obviously, there's bad blood between them, but where in the world does it

from?

It's nothing we haven't seen before.

Meaning what?

Oh, come on. When you think about it, their relationship isn't much different

than the one you had with Orochimaru. Hmm.

I see.

To Naruto, Sasuke is a comrade and a rival at the same time. In fact, it's

competition between them that keeps him going.

That's why he won't stand for it when Sasuke tries to belittle him.

He's been dogging Sasuke's steps every inch of the way since their first days

the academy.

You're not hurt, are you?

Scaredy cat.

As far as Naruto's concerned, what you and I think doesn't matter.

There's only one person whose approval he really cares about.

Sasuke.

On the other hand, it's hard for Sasuke to watch Naruto's strength and skills

develop at such an astonishing rate. He's come along so fast.

Sasuke must feel like he's standing still.

Naruto has something powerful driving him on.

And so does Sasuke.

I'm going to restore my plan and destroy a certain person.

You mean revenge.

His hatred of Itachi may be driving him on too fast.

Sasuke can't acknowledge Naruto's abilities. He's afraid that if he does

acknowledge them, he somehow diminishes his own.

It can be hard work maintaining a rivalry.

Well, it's not a very healthy rivalry.

It's time I gave somebody a talking to.

Right. I'll leave Naruto to you then. Well, I have a mission. And then there's

that Chidori business.

Sakura.

It'll be alright. Don't you worry. We'll soon have them back to their old selves

again. Cheer up, okay?

I'll see you soon.

What is it, Naruto?

Listen, Sakura.

This is between us. Stay out of it.

You're still too weak.

You don't have enough hate.

And you know something?

You never will.

What have I been doing?

What's it all been for?

I

like

that look in his eyes.

All right then, shall we?

What's this all about?

Sorry, but I knew you wouldn't want to sit still for a lecture, so I figured I

had to pin you down.

The one with him is Kakashi. I've heard about him.

Let it go.

You've got to forget about revenge.

What?

Believe me, in this work I've met a lot of guys who feel the way you do.

Trust me, for those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well.

You'll only tear yourself apart.

And even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you have then?

Nothing. Emptiness.

Shut up! What makes you think you know anything about it? It's easy for you to

talk. You have no idea!

Easy. Just try to calm down.

Maybe if I was to kill the most important people in your life, everyone

ever meant anything, maybe then I'd listen to you. Because maybe then you'd

some idea how I feel.

Hmm. It's an interesting theory, but I'm afraid you're a little late to put it

to the test.

Everyone you're talking about has already been killed.

I've been around longer than you have, kid.

And I've seen my share of troubles.

You're not the only one who knows what it's like to lose somebody.

So, it looks like neither of us has led a charmed life exactly, have we?

Still, we're not all that bad off.

At least you and I have been lucky enough to find new comrades to help fill

void.

Anyway. I do know how you feel.

With the Chidori, you've been granted a gift of awesome power.

It's not a power to be used against your comrades, or to seek vengeance.

I think in your heart of hearts, you know what it's for.

Okay, end of lecture. You decide whether what I'm saying hits the mark or not.

Could make things trickier with that shinobi hanging around.

We better hold off for a bit.

Well, if you're so scared of him, why don't I just go in by myself? He doesn't

look that tough to me.

I'm with you.

I bet the two of us could tear that leaf shinobi apart.

Did I sound like I wanted your help? Butt out, birdbrain.

Man, it's no wonder you never had a boyfriend. You're such a... Shut it,

Let's go back.

All right.

We both made it. We climbed all the way up to the top.

What's wrong, Sakura?

Look, there's something I need to talk to you about, Naruto.

So if you still want that date you've always wanted...

What

do I do?

What do I do?

It's that curse mark that Orochimaru put on him during the tuning exam.

Kakashi -sensei said he'd taken care of it, but I wonder...

Lord Orochimaru, did you really send all four of them?

Was that necessary?

I hadn't the heart to refuse them. They all were so eager to meet this Sasuke

I've spoken so highly of.

They wanted to test his strength.

It's not a very fair test.

In his condition, he's no match for all four of them.

And that's why he'll come to me seeking greater power.

Just as I've always said he would.

Okay, who are you? Out with it.

We're the Sound Ninja Four.

I'm Kiramaru of the East Gate.

And I'm Sakon of the West Gate.

I am Jirobo of the South Gate.

And I'm Tayuya of the North Gate.

Before we go another round, I should warn you.

You might want to think about it.

I'm in a really bad mood.

Thank you for

watching.

We could sit in the park and hold hands. That's not what I wanted to talk to you

about. If it's about Kakashi -sensei, I don't know what his problem was. We were

only having a friendly little fight. If he hadn't butt in, we... If he hadn't

butt in, one of you might have been killed.

I really don't feel good about this.

What, our date?

Next time, an invitation from the sound.

It can't go on like this.
