Thank you

for

watching!

Thank you.

So it's you.

Hopeless little knucklehead.

She sent you, huh?

stop him from leaving the village.

At this point, there's only one person who can stop him.

Only one who can save him.

Naruto, it's all up to you.

Naruto, this is a once in a lifetime request.

Just bring him home.

Please bring Sasuke back to me.

Like I already told Sakura... It's over.

Just leave me alone.

Look at you. What's with the angry face?

Iruka -sensei!

Why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same group with a slug like

Sasuke?

Sasuke had the best scores of all the graduating students.

Naruto, you had the worst scores.

To create a balanced group, we put the best student with the worst student.

Just make sure you don't get in my way, loser.

This is no big deal. I can go without eating for days, for weeks. Believe it,

this is no big deal.

Here. You know, you asked Sakura for advice when she was here.

So what did she tell you?

Let's go back.

You should see the look on your face.

You look like a total loser.

Why did you... You.

I hated you.

I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for you to save me.

I don't know.

My body just moved. There was no time to think.

You have to save Sakura if it's the last thing you do.

Sasuke!

You... I can hold him here a little longer.

I lost everything once.

I don't ever want to have to see that again.

My trusted comrades falling right in front of me

Hi Why are you

doing this to us?

Why should you care what I do? It's my concern, not yours.

I have my own path to follow now, and neither you nor anyone else can steer me

from it.

I will tell you this much.

My days of playing ninja with you kids of the Leaf Village are done.

This guy is mine.

Troji. Get going. Hurry.

Now, get going.

I'll be right behind you.

Neji.

Hang on!

Naruto!

Shikamaru! She fell for it!

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

The thumbs up, Naruto, remember?

You gave it to Sakura. You made her a promise.

Bushibrow! Do not worry.

I can finish this one.

I promise.

All of them.

They all...

Ripped their lives.

And why?

To save you!

Well, wasn't that nice of them.

Since no one has anything to add, I saved the most important thing for last.

For as long as I've known him, Sasuke and I haven't exactly been close

In fact, I don't really like him at all.

All the same, Sasuke's a ninja belonging to the Hidden Leaf Village.

He's a comrade, and I'll put my life on the line to help him.

That's the way of our village.

Comrades, huh?

If I'd stayed with comrades like you, I'd never have gotten this strong.

Now I'm going to where Orochimaru is.

Are you out of your mind?

Orochimaru killed a third Hokage and did everything he could to destroy the Leaf

Village! Whatever it is that you're expecting from him, you think he's gonna

give it to you for free?

All he wants is to use your body like a new suit of clothes.

There'll be nothing of you left. You'll never get out of there alive.

You think I'll stand by and just let you throw away your entire life?

None of that matters now.

The only thing that matters to me is achieving my goal.

If you insist on getting in my way, well, then it can't be helped.

Well, if you aren't going to listen to reason, then I'll do this by force if I

have to!

What have you got to laugh about?

I remember you laughing the last time we met.

The last time?

What's so funny? I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm just psyched.

Because I know that today is the day when I finally beat you.

Remember how thrilled you were at the thought of beating me to a bloody pulp?

What's wrong? Where's your smile now?

Shut up! That was different!

Maybe I felt that way at first.

But you were different then.

Let's just do this. Put on your headband and we will.

I'll wait. Not to worry. I don't need that thing.

Just do it!

Come on!

There's no reason to put it on.

Because you won't be able to make a scratch on my forehead.

That's not the point!

Come on, you know putting your headband on is a testament to fighting on equal

terms as a Leaf Shinobi!

There you go, acting all high and mighty again. You don't honestly believe that

we're equal.

Heck yeah, I do. All this time, I've never once thought that I was inferior

you in any way.

You're a complete embarrassment.

Stop it!

I

didn't

mean...

I never really wanted that kind of fight.

Even now, I still don't.

I couldn't give a damn what you want.

radiating from within me.

So this is the power he was talking about.

I can feel it growing, flowing through my body.

If that's what I'm capable of now, wait till I unseal this curse mark.

Imagine the power!

Incredible!

He's... changed.

He never was this strong before.

I have woken up, don't you see?

That guy who dreamed of a happy future full of peace and friendship.

He was the one who was asleep.

That's why I left the village.

That's why I've gone in search of power.

It's not the future I dream of anymore.

Only the past.

Where my dream lies.

Wow, Itachi. You nailed every target.

Even the one in the blind spot behind the rock.

All right.

Now it's my turn.

No, Sasuke. It's time to go.

What happened to the new shuriken jutsu you promised to teach me, huh?

It'll have to wait till later. I have an important mission in the morning, and I

need to prepare for it.

You're such a big fat liar.

Maybe some other time.

Okay, just watch this.

Hey, be careful.

How come the one who twisted his ankle is the one who's laughing?

Or maybe you were just looking for a way to get out of walking home.

No way, that's not it.

It's just that I can't stop thinking how I'm finally going to start at the

academy tomorrow.

I'm going to give it nothing but my best.

I'm going to do so well that even Father will be proud of me.

I'll make him see he has more than one son he can count on.

I'm warning you.

You're making a big mistake.

Like I said, a future with you guys isn't what I want anymore.

Fire style!

Dragon Flame Jutsu!

Thank you.

Thank you for watching!

Next time, brothers, distance among the...
