Uh, oh.

Hey.

Mmm. Huh?

Where's Sakura?

[moans]

You were in pursuit of Sasuke, right? Which way did Sakura go?

Head north, towards two o'clock.

You have to go about one kilometer.

That Sakura.

Looks like she learned how to blend a powerful sleeping powder from Lady Tsunade.

They won't be getting up anytime soon.

There you go.

Sorry, everyone. I've got to rush ahead.

What's in it for you to join me?

Just what are you plotting?

I'm not plotting anything!

Ever since you left the Hidden Leaf Village,

I just keep finding myself regretting not going with you.

She's... his old teammate.

She also has a thing for him... But...

Look. I'll do anything that you want me to. I'm tired of regrets.

Do you know what I really want?

Don't you understand? I don't care what it is! I'll do whatever you say--

To destroy the Leaf!

[gasp]

That is what I want!

You think you could really do that?

Betray the Hidden Leaf Village for me?

Yes. I would, if you asked me to.

All right, then why don't you prove it to me.

I want you to kill her now.

Do that, and I'll accept that you're serious.

Hmm.

Who is she?

A member of Taka, the group that I put together.

Though at this point, as you see, she's useless.

Sakura, you're a Medical Ninja, right?

It's perfect, you can replace her. This'll work out just fine.

How can he be so cold? It's true. He's definitely not the old Sasuke. He's changed.

What's the matter, Sakura?

You can't do it?

This woman is innocent.

But, If I just...

I've got to stab Sasuke right now.

Then it'll all be over!

Don't do it, Sasuke.

He really meant to kill her.

How you've fallen, Sasuke.

Heh. One after another.

Sakura, you intended to kill Sasuke by yourself, didn't you?

There's no need for you to bear such a heavy burden.

After all, it was my cowardice that drove you all apart when I was the leader of Team 7.

Sakura, I once tried to put you at ease by telling you something irresponsible.

[weeping]

[flashback filter] Kakashi-sensei.

It's all right. Don't you worry. We'll soon have 'em back to their old selves again.

Perhaps I was trying to convince myself, too.

I'm sorry I'm such a careless Sensei.

But you're not.

Sasuke, I've told you this before.

And I don't like to repeat myself.

But...

I'll say this once more.

[struggling]

[flashback] Believe me, I've met a lot of guys who feel the way you do.

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

Let it go. You've gotta forget about revenge.

[chuckles]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Itachi.

My father. My mother.

My entire clan! Bring them all here to me!

Do that and I'll quit right now!

I don't want to kill you.

Do you really think you can kill me at any moment you wish?

Stop acting like you're still my Sensei!

Go ahead and try something if you'd like.

I'm just itching to kill you.

Kakashi.

He's been completely brainwashed by Madara.

Sakura. Heal that girl so she can speak again.

There's still time, if you move quickly.

She has a lot of intel about our enemies.

Ah!

What about you?!

Just take that girl and get far away from here.

But Kakashi Sensei...

I will shoulder your burden from here on.

Well, it is my role, after all.

Now.

Hurry up and go, Sakura.

As the leader of Team 7, I will settle this once and for all.

You know, I really don't like repeating myself either.

Stop acting like my Sensei, got it?

He continued to feel affection for Orochimaru, no matter how far he fell.

Third Hokage... even though you nurtured many other fine pupils.

Your cherished student abandoned the Village.

And then the agony of having to face him in battle.

No one can begin to imagine the resolve it took.

Now I finally understand what the Third Hokage must have gone through.

You'll be able to tell him that yourself once I'm done with you, Kakashi.

The Burden

You... I don't want...

Don't talk! I'm almost done. Just a little bit longer.

[Karin] You're the enemy. I don't want to know how you feel.

So please... don't...

[Karin] I can't stand to watch you cry in front of me like that!

Damn it.

All right.

Possessing the Sharingan is proof you're an Uchiha!

An inferior shinobi who isn't an Uchiha,

has no right to show off that eye!

On the edge of the shuriken.

Sasuke is used to real combat and won't pull any punches.

Well, then.

Earth Style: Mud Wall!

[battle shouts] Aaahht! Aaah!

For a borrowed Sharingan,

You really are quite skilled in its use.

However, no matter what your Sharingan can do...

My Sharingan is in a completely different league than yours! Watch!

[gasp]

That's--!

[panting]

So fast! If I hadn't blown it away with the Mangekyo, I'd be dead.

[panting]

Is that the Susano'o?

Impressive. I can't believe someone who's not an Uchiha could awaken the Mangekyo.

It seems to me that you were saved by the abilities of that eye.

You should be grateful for the power of the Uchiha.

Sasuke, listen to me. More than just your clan is in you. more than just hatred.

Look deep inside your heart. One more time.

Are you really still going on about that?

I think deep down, you know the truth.

[Sasuke] All the laughter.

Every one of you is laughing.

Itachi sacrificed his life but you're still laughing!

Cackling together like fools, ignorant of everything!

I can hear nothing but contempt and jeering in your voices.

I want to change those laughs to screams and wails of misery!

[unearthly roar]

Sasuke...

Sasuke's chakra... He's become even colder.

Sasuke is not the same person you knew from before.

[gasp]

This is bad!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

How about it, Kakashi? Can your borrowed Sharingan extinguish power like this?!

Now I'll show you the difference between the real thing and a fake!

Hngh... Augh!

Huh.

Yeargh!

Damn it!

No... My sight!

What's happening?! What are you doing?

[gasping]

Sakura! Why are you here?!

Don't!

I won't let Kakashi Sensei bear this burden!

[Kiba] You think Naruto will stay calm? You think that he's just gonna accept our decision?

[Lee] No, but this is something we all decided together. Somehow, we have to make him understand.

I'll handle it. I'll go talk to Naruto.

You will, Sakura?!

You really think it'll work? What's your plan?

Trust me, you guys. Just leave it to me.

How can I tell Naruto something like this?!

No, I've got to take care of it.

I have to see it through myself.

I have to make my decision and stick to it.

Hey!

Can you let me get by, Naruto?

Hey, numbskull! Move it! Didn't you hear what I just said?! I want to sit over there!

Huh?

Oh...

Good morning, Sasuke.

Mind if I sit here?

Today is the day, I just know it!

I'm going to be the one to get the first kiss from Sasuke! Cha!

[Kakashi] All right, I'm going to give you one more chance.

But I'm going to make it much harder on you. You'll have three hours to get a bell.

Eat lunch now to build up strength. But, Naruto doesn't get any.

It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself.

And if anyone tries to feed him, that person will immediately fail.

I make the rules. Got it!?

[stomach growl]

Here.

Huh?? What is--?!

No, Sasuke, you can't do that! You heard what Sensei said.

Kakashi's gone.

We need to get those bells as a team.

If he's hungry, he'll be weak and ineffective.

That would hurt the entire team and jeopardize the mission.

Sasuke...

Sakura?

Thanks.

Yoooou!!

YAAAHHH!!

Yaah!

You pass.

You're the first squad that ever succeeded.

The others did exactly what I said, and fell into every trap.

A ninja must see through deception.

In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum. That's true.

But, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.

The exercise is over. Everyone passes!

It's the middle of the night. What're you hanging around here for?

This is the only road that leads out of the village.

What about you?

You should go to bed.

Why won't you ever tell me anything?

Why are you always silent?

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.

You hate me.

Even in the beginning, you couldn't ever stand me.

Remember?

Back when we made Genin, and were assigned to our three-man squads...

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

You got so mad at me that day.

[Sasuke] Alone. Isolated.

Huh?

You have no idea what it means to be alone.

Wh-why are you saying that?

Because, you're annoying.

I don't remember that.

[gasp]

[quivering] Yeah, sure, I mean, it was so long ago, right?

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

Where you and I started.

And Naruto. And Kakashi-Sensei.

We all started going on missions.

It was rough back then. Every day was such a challenge.

But, more than anything,

It was so much fun!

I know about your clan, Sasuke, I do. But seeking revenge...

That won't bring anyone happiness.

Nobody at all...

I always knew it.

Uh?

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 have 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 will 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...

For me, It would be the same as being alone!

This is a new beginning.

Each of us has a new path lying before us.

Sasuke!

I'm so in love with you that I can't even stand it!

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

Sasuke, I'll do anything for you, anything! Please, Sasuke.

I'm begging you, don't walk away!!

I'll even help get your revenge! I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, I swear!

So stay here... with me...

And if you can't...

Then take me with you, Sasuke!

[sobs]

You haven't changed.

You're still annoying.

[gasp]

Don't leave me!

If you go, I'll scream and...

Sakura.

Thanks for everything.

[tearful gasp]

I thought I had made up my mind.

Sakura!

Damn it! Mangekyo always wipes me out...

A-aah!

Sasuke! Don't!

Naruto?!

Naruto...

[Naruto] Sasuke, I swear I'll save you from revenge, and all the chaos it causes.

[Sasuke] Hmph. But I don't want you to do that. The stage has already been set for my vengeance!

[Naruto] What?!

[Sasuke] The severing of bonds with the Hidden Leaf shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!

[Kakashi] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Two Fates.

[Naruto] I guess there's no choice, then...
