[theme song]

-You see?

I have a different bond now.

Between my older brother and me.

It's the bond of hatred.

-Having too many ties in this world

will only lead you astray.

-It weakens one's ambition.

Distracts you from what truly matters.

-Now let's go.

Enough is enough.

Snap out of it, already.

Get up, Sasuke!

-Just shut up for once.

What the heck do you know about it?

It's not like you ever had a family in the first place.

You were on your own right from the beginning!

What makes you think you know anything about it, huh?

I'm suffering now because I had those ties.

How on Earth could you possibly understand

what it feels like to lose all that?

-It's true.

I have no idea what it's like having parents or a brother.

If that's how you felt, Sasuke--

-Why, Naruto?

Why would you go so far from me?

-Because this is the first time I've ever had a bond like this.

That's why I'll do anything I can to stop you.

-Then why didn't you?

-I can't turn back.

If that's how it is, I'll just have to sever that bond.

-If that's all true then why didn't you kill me that day?

Weren't you gonna break our bond, Sasuke?

-Naruto.

-The reason is simple.

It's not that I couldn't break our bond, Naruto.

-Like me, you may be one of the few

who can use Mangekyo Sharingan.

But there is a catch.

Take the life of your best friend.

You must kill him.

-No.

That's a lie.

-I was simply doing as my older brother had done before me.

It was nothing more than a strategy to gain power.

-What are you talking about?

-I don't owe you any explanations.

All I can tell you is that day--

-[inaudible]

-Rasengan!

-[shouting]

-Naruto.

I'm--

-That day, when I left you lying there,

I only spared your life on a whim.

Nothing more.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): He's fast.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): How did he do that?

-You know, come to think of it, wasn't it always

your dream to become the Hokage?

All of the time you spent chasing after me would've

been better spent in training.

Wouldn't you agree, Naruto?

-Sa-- Sasuke, what are you--

-But this time my whim is telling

me to finish what I started.

-How could I ever be Hokage?

I can't save a friend.

Isn't that right, Sasuke?

-Sasuke!

-That block you selected was the correct one.

-All right.

-Chidori stream!

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): He's emitting chidori

from his entire body.

-Sorry, Naruto.

It means you may have to wait for me a little bit.

But next time I promise I won't be dead weight.

SAKURA (VOICEOVER): Sasuke.

I'll stop you.

On my own, if I have to!

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): Those eyes.

He's not messing around.

-Captain Yamato!

-The block that you chose-- was the incorrect one.

My snake sword is somewhat special.

It's impossible to block.

YAMATO (VOICEOVER): My body's going numb.

Is he-- running chidori down through the sword?

I see.

It hones the blade to the utmost sharpness

and paralyzes as it cuts.

-Well, it's about time.

Things must be getting interesting over there.

[ominous laughter]

NINE-TAILS: Now's your chance, Naruto.

You know what to do.

Come.

Give him a glimpse of our power.

Ah, what's the matter?

Why do you hesitate?

You need my power, don't you?

Now then.

Who do you want to kill?

-Forget it.

Don't you ever come out.

Do you hear me?

-What are you afraid of?

-You shut up!

Do you think I need your power?

I don't want anything to do with you!

[laughter]

-Who was the one with the impudence

to come begging for help at every step of the way?

You understand by now, don't you?

Without me, you couldn't do anything at all.

Now do it.

Break the seal completely.

If you do, I'll grant you all of my power.

-I don't need you.

-You're--

-How did you--

-I see.

You're one of the Uchihan.

You've advanced well beyond your years, haven't you?

-How are you even able to be here?

-I can see everything.

So this is where all that power's coming from.

Interesting.

I never would have guessed you had this inside of you.

-That you can even see me here inside of Naruto is impressive,

my boy.

It's that repugnant Sharingan.

The true power behind your cursed clan.

-I take it this isn't your first time seeing the Sharingan.

So, you're the Nine-Tails, huh?

-With your visual prowess and a chakra more ominous than my own

you are the spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the elder

days.

NARUTO (VOICEOVER): Uchiha.

-Never heard of him.

Am I supposed to care?

NINE-TAILS: To think you could actually suppress my power.

This may be my undoing.

But before I go, let me say this.

Whatever your plans are, don't kill Naruto.

If you do, you'll regret it.

-Wood style.

Domed wall jutsu!

-Sasuke.

[music playing]

YAMATO: Doesn't look like we'll be

talking any sense into Sasuke.

SAKURA: Captain Yamato--

YAMATO: We can't let a shinobi who's

gone rogue continue to roam free.

Out of consideration for the two of you

I haven't taken any drastic measures against Sasuke, but--

NARUTO: What do you plan to do?

YAMATO: We're bringing him back to the Leaf

by any means necessary.

I'm sorry.

I can't hold back anymore.

NARUTO: Next time-- Title.

[music playing]

Notable people of Leaf Village.

Today we'll be taking a look back

at the days when Sasuke and his brother still got along.

Itachi was always hailed as a genius,

and Sasuke found himself eclipsed

by his brother's shadow.

Everyone seemed to place all their hope solely in Itachi,

yet ironically it was his brother

who took the greatest interest in him.

-Sorry, Sasuke.

Maybe some other time.

-Ow.

-Sasuke wanted to keep up with his elder brother,

so he worked relentlessly.

However--

-Big brother.

He's so distant.

-You probably hate me, huh?

-That's not how I feel.

-I'm always going to be there for you.

Even if it's only as an obstacle for you to overcome.

Even if you do hate me.

-Who would have thought the kindness in Itachi's eyes

was all just an act?

And ever since the unthinkable happened

he's been Sasuke's mortal enemy, the lone man

he yearns to defeat.
