Thank you for watching!

I love it

Before we go another round, I should warn you.

You might want to think about it.

I'm in a really bad mood.

Stop your prattling, you little weakling.

Come on, kid.

I'm waiting.

I want to play do -re -mi on those ribs of yours till they crack!

Get ready!

have a little music, shall we? Doh!

What the?

Ray!

Where is he attacking from?

Hmm. Your bones ring with a knife low tone.

But why don't we switch to a sharper reverberator?

Yeah.

I think we'll go with the Mi Fa So combination now.

The barbecue pork ramen here is out of this world.

And listen, don't even worry about it. All this is on me.

You got that, old man?

So, you're treating your girl, huh? Looks like you're starting to grow up a

little, Naruto.

What are you talking about? We just came here to hack some stuff out, okay? I

mean, it's not like she's my girlfriend or anything, so... What is it, Sakura?

Sorry, Naruto.

I was spacing out a little.

This looks delicious.

Now then, let's eat.

Yeah, and you can tell me all about Sasuke while we're chowing down here,

Naruto, I... I promised Sasuke not to tell you this, but...

This

is all that Orochimaru's fault.

Kakashi -sensei said everything would be fine, and I wish I could believe him.

But when he was fighting with Gaara...

And

then again today, he had that same look in his eye.

I don't know what to do.

Orochimaru, huh?

Yeah, I ran into him not too long ago.

You did?

But where?

When I was off searching for Grandma Tsunade.

I'm happy to accommodate you!

What the devil?!

He went up against Furby Sage and Grandma Tsunade at the same time.

He was incredibly powerful.

Guy is bad news.

This is not good.

Come on, everything will be fine.

Sasuke would never let a guy like that sink his claws into him. I mean, he's

already a total powerhouse. It's not like he needs that kind of help, you

What does Lord Orochimaru even want with this kid?

I don't see what the big deal is.

Kimimaro would have been much better.

Ah well.

You spend all of your life in a dump of a village like this place and you'll

turn out mediocre at best.

Never realizing your strength.

Why? All my barrages were solid.

This guy.

It's like I never even hit him.

If you just keep playing ninja with all of your friends here, you'll continue to

rot on the vine.

You're acting like a fool.

You should come with us.

Lord Orochimaru offers you power.

He said there'd be no point in our taking you by force.

You have to decide.

This is turning out to be a real pain.

Let's go. What's it gonna be?

Are you in or out?

What do you say, kid?

This runt makes me wait any longer and I'm gonna wring his little neck.

Come and try it.

Kind of hurts, doesn't it?

Come

on,

now. You didn't really think you were Lord Orochimaru's only pet, did you?

One shouldn't use the curse mark so recklessly, kid.

Although, it doesn't really look like you've got much of a handle on it, do

If you unleash it for too long, the curse will start to eat away at your

You're in the early stages of it, so it shouldn't sink its teeth into you too

quickly. But once it spreads through your body, your former self will be

never again to return.

In exchange for the curse's power, you will be tethered to Lord Ero tomorrow.

All semblance of freedom will be lost to you.

To gain one thing, another must be left behind.

What is your purpose in this life? To stay here in this backwater village,

hiding with your little friends?

Surely you haven't forgotten, Itachi Uchiha?

You mustn't lose sight of your purpose.

Life in this village is little more than bondage for you.

Sever your time to this pathetic place.

If you can do that, there will be no limit to the power you can wield.

Remember your purpose!

Thanks again.

Hey, Sakura, let me walk you home.

Oh, no, that's all right.

Huh? What do you mean?

These streets can be dangerous at night.

No, they're pretty well lit. I'll be okay.

Uh, Sakura?

Thank you, Naruto, really.

But I'd kind of like to be on my own tonight.

Yeah, sure.

I'll be fine, okay?

It's the middle of the night.

What are you hanging around here for?

This is the only road out of the village.

You should go to bed.

Why, Sasuke?

Why won't you ever tell me anything?

Why is it always silence with you?

You've never shared a single thing with me. Why should I have to tell you

anything?

Just keep your nose out of my business.

It's none of your concern.

I know you hate me.

Even in the beginning, you could never stand me.

Remember? Back when we made guinean and we were assigned to our three -man

squad?

We were alone together for the first time, right here on this very spot.

He got so mad at me that day.

Think about it. He just does whatever comes into his head.

But if you don't have parents to tell you, how would you know?

He's selfish and fratty. He's all alone.

Alone.

Isolated. Huh?

It's not about your parents scolding you. You have no idea what it means to

alone. Why are you saying that?

Because you're annoying.

I

don't

remember that.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, it was so long ago, right?

But still, that's the day when it all began.

It was the start of you and me.

And Naruto.

And Kakashi -sensei.

Borobud started going on missions.

It was rough back then.

Every day was such a challenge.

But more than anything...

So much fun.

I know about your clan, Sopke.

I do.

But seeking revenge... That won't bring anyone happiness.

Nobody at all.

Not you.

And not me.

I knew it.

I'm not the same as you.

I'm traveling a path the rest of you can't follow.

I know that the four of us had worked together.

And for a while, I thought I could take that road instead.

But in the end, I've decided on revenge.

That's always been my reason for living.

I'll never be like you and Naruto.

Don't do this, Sasuke. You don't have to be alone. You told me that day how

painful a thing solitude can be.

I understand that pain now.

I have a family and friends.

But if you were gone, Sasuke, it would be the same thing for me as

being all alone.

This is a new beginning.

Each of us has a new path lying before us.

Sasuke, I'm so in love with you, I can't even stand it.

If you would only be with me, I promise I'd never let you regret it.

Every day will be a joy.

I can give you happiness.

I'll do anything for you, Sasuke.

So please, I'm begging you, don't walk away.

get your revenge.

I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, I swear.

Stay here with me.

And if you can't, then take me with you, Sasuke.

You haven't changed.

You're still annoying.

Thank you for everything.

We've been waiting for you, Sasuke.

So what's with the change in attitude?

It had already been decided that the moment you abandoned the village, you

become our new leader.

Please forgive the rudeness we displayed earlier.

Like I care.

Let's go

This

is the beginning

Whatever he pleases. If it comes down to it, I'll chase him down to the ends of

the earth. I'll drag him back.
