This... has to be genjutsu!

These guys are using each other's attacks to distract us!

I can't believe I fell for it. Damn it!

Can't... move...

YAAAA Ha ha ha ha ha!

I killed him! I just killed the big guy!

Now, who's next?! Ha haaaaaa!!

Haugh!

[Naruto] That's a lie!

You're making all that up!

It can't be. It can't.

[Kakashi] Your jokes aren't funny. Who'd believe a story like that?

I'm not lying. Everything I said about Itachi is true.

He died for Sasuke. and for the Hidden Leaf Village as well.

[Kakashi] It doesn't make sense.

If what you say is true, and Sasuke knows it,

then why would he ever help the Akatsuki?!

I would think he'd return to the Hidden Leaf to carry on Itachi's will.

Hmph.

[Madara] As Sasuke's teacher and as his friends, you all assume that you know his true feelings.

But you couldn't be more in the dark.

He's the real thing. A true avenger!

You made him that way, didn't you?!

No. It wasn't me.

Sasuke chose this path all on his own.

[gasp]

You're a liar! That's not true!

I took a gamble,

on whether he would take on Itachi's will, or seek revenge against the Hidden Leaf.

He chose vengeance.

That means he is one of my kind.

Sasuke's goal now is to wreak vengeance upon the Hidden Leaf for what they did to Itachi and to the entire Uchiha clan.

Why...

Why would he?!

How did this whole thing turn into such a big mess?!

Why did he decide to choose revenge?!

It couldn't be helped. It's the Uchiha clan's blood-soaked destiny of hate.

It's a curse that has been passed down through the ages.

A curse?

That's right. A curse of hatred that began generations ago with the father of all shinobi, the Sage of the Six Paths.

Sage of the Six Paths?

But that's nothing but a myth!

The Rinnegan was simply a random mutation, that's all.

But myths are often based on the truth.

The Sage of the Six Paths taught ninshu, the shinobi creed, and tried to foster world peace.

But his end came before he fulfilled his dream.

The Sage bequeathed his will and also his teachings to his two children, both sons.

The older son had been born with the Sage's eyes,

granting him chakra powers and mental energy.

He knew strength was necessary for peace.

The younger son had been born with the gift of the Sage's body,

granting him stamina and physical energy. He knew love was necessary for peace.

On his deathbed, the Sage chose a single successor.

His decision created the eternal curse of hatred that has continued for generations.

What do you mean by that?

The Sage decided to choose not the older brother who sought strength, but the younger brother, who sought love.

And made the second son his successor.

The firstborn, who had long expected to follow in his father's footsteps, could not accept the decision.

Filled with rage, he declared war on his younger brother.

Even as time passed and blood ties thinned, the descendants of the two brothers continued to battle.

The descendants of the older brother came to be known as the Uchiha,

And the descendants of the younger brother were called the Senju.

As an Uchiha, my battle with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was destined to occur.

This may be only our second meeting,

But I can tell that you hold Senju's Will of Fire within you.

I can see the First Hokage enduring within you.

Even in death, he lives on. He, whom I so admired, yet was my rival.

And the man I hated most.

Senju and Uchiha. The Will of Fire and hatred. Naruto and Sasuke.

The two of you.

You are just the next in line to be chosen by Destiny.

The Uchiha clan is cursed with a destiny of vengeance.

Sasuke has shouldered the entire burden of the Uchiha's hatred,

and intends to strike deep into the world with that curse.

That hate is his most powerful weapon, his friend, and the source of his power.

That is Sasuke's Ninja Way!

Sasuke's Ninja Way

Chidori!

Raaaahhh! Elbow Bolt!

A thrust attack that uses Lightning Style to increase its power?

That's just like Kakashi Hatake's jutsu!

I'm impressed that you were actually able to touch me through my Lightning Style armor.

That's some jutsu you've got there.

What!? He failed?!

That's right, and now... Sasuke's a dead man!

No way! So much chakra!

Yaahhhhh!!

Liger Bomb!

It's over.

So that's the Raikage's shinobi taijutsu.

There's no way Sasuke could have survived that.

I guess we didn't need reinforcements after all.

Hn?

Raaagh!

So that's the Mangekyo Sharingan, huh?

Hngh!

Cee, you all right?

Darui. is your fight finished?

Maybe.

No one has ever survived the Liger Bomb before. Not until right now.

And take a look at those bones! What is he?!

I fell for his genjutsu and lost.

I still don't have full control of my body.

Geniuses like him are extremely rare.

Sasuke Uchiha... He's a stubborn one!

Reinforcements?!

Hey, Cee.

What's with Sasuke's eyes; don't they look different now?

[gasp]

Is that the Mangekyo Sharingan?!

I get it! That's why Lord Raikage ramped himself up even more.

He's going to counter with Teleportation Jutsu!

Yyyahhh!

You know, maybe I am too vulnerable to Lightning Style.

My body is too numb now to liquefy properly.

The Raikage's chakra has grown enormously! He's at Tailed Beast levels!

Bring it, boy!

Amaterasu!

Ah! Aaahh!

Put out the flames!

They're not ordinary flames! Get back!

The Amaterasu, flames that ignite along one's line of sight. That must be it!

Lateral Bolt of Pain!

Nice! A shield of black flames!

Nothing can match the Raikage's teleportation speed.

If you can't keep up, then use a shield that can't be touched!

Now, he can't just recklessly attack Sasuke!

He manipulated the black flames?!

Changed their chakra form, too!

He's even more proficient with the black flames than Itachi?

Don't underestimate the Raikage!

[gasp]

Lord Raikage! No, don't!

Damn, he's sacrificing his left arm.

Bleagh!

You're finished now!

Guillotine Drop!

[Sasuke] Inferno Style!

Flame Control!

He's still moving!

Sasuke!

Sand?!

This is...!

Gaara of the Sand.

Wind Scythe Jutsu!

So these are the eternal flames of the Amaterasu, huh?

All you samurai, stay back. This is a problem for the shinobi world.

There is no need for samurai to become casualties.

Thank you, Lord Kazekage.

Uggh...

What's going on?

Why'd you interfere, Kazekage?!

Your answer will determine your punishment!

[Gaara] If you had continued with your attack, the black flames would have further injured you.

Besides, I wish to speak to Sasuke Uchiha.

Humph.

Boss! Your arm!

Cee, hurry and stop the bleeding!

Then I'm going after Sasuke again!

Yes, sir!

Sasuke managed to get through Lord Raikage's Lightning Style Armor,

and he survived two seriously heavy attacks.

His left eye ignites the Amaterasu,

And his right eye can change the chakra form of the Black Flames, I'm sure of it.

Perhaps this Sasuke truly did capture Bee.

Which means that shinobi are still growing and advancing.

Your eyes are still as they were in the past.

As I told you, both of us possess the exact same eyes.

Eyes that always hunger for power and are full of hatred, as well.

Eyes that seek revenge against all those who made you so lonely,

eyes that burn to see all of them dead!

I have come to realize that making vengeance one's bread of life does not resolve anything.

It's not too late for you.

Don't withdraw into your own world, obsessed with hatred.

Or you won't be able to return.

So, if I were to return? What is there for me?

Forget it, Gaara.

Naruto already failed to convince him.

He's a criminal, fallen to the level of the Akatsuki.

He's not like you.

Plus, the Raikage and others harmed by the Akatsuki won't stay silent.

After attacking the Five Kage Summit, he's wanted internationally.

Just face it, this guy has no future.

Sasuke, you and I are quite alike.

We've both walked through the darkness of this world.

So your eyes should pick up even the faintest glimmer of light.

In the past or even at this moment.

I shut my eyes a long time ago.

The things I seek now lie only in the darkness.

You're the Kazekage. Don't let your feelings interfere.

Gaara...

Yes.

I know.

[Madara] Naruto. One day, you will probably end up fighting Sasuke again.

Or rather, I'll throw Sasuke at you.

The long-predestined battle.

I'll have Sasuke validate the existence of the Uchiha.

Sasuke isn't just your toy, you know! Quit talking nonsense!

You think you can make Sasuke have a change of heart, like you did Nagato?

That's even more of a fantasy, Naruto.

To control others, you must possess the ability to manipulate the darkness in their souls.

Nagato just happened to be easily influenced, that's all.

Never compare yourself to Nagato!

His methods were different than mine, but he truly wanted peace. But you. You're different!

Heh. No doubt.

That's really your goal? To validate the existence of the Uchiha?

Then why collect the Tailed Beasts?

What's your true purpose, really? Just what do you want?

Well, if I wanted anything, it would be,

to be a complete form.

Complete form?!

What do you mean by that?!

Talking to you about it now is pointless.

I'll explain it at a more appropriate time and place.

It was fun, chatting with you guys.

Later.

Sasuke, no...

You block my Inferno Style well; I'm impressed.

Your Ultimate Defense is in good shape.

Wow! Amazing!

Ah!

[Karin] Found 'em! Danzo's there, too!

I've got to let Sasuke know right away!

Except, there are very powerful Chakras all around us.

Ah!

He has a Sensory Type with him!

It seems there's a Sensory-Type ninja among our enemies.

They're sure to reach this place at some point.

What do we do?

For now, do nothing. When they arrive, we'll simply slip out amid the ensuing chaos.

Stop whispering amongst yourselves!

I am a Sensory-type, too. I know the enemy has found this place.

But you three are not to make a single move.

We shall deal with the enemy.

Looks like this summit is finally getting interesting!

You done yet, Cee?!

A little longer, sir!

I'll join you Sand guys!

[Darui] The first strike's mine! And then you can follow me!

Got it!

Good. Now, Gale Style! Laser Circus!

Secret Red Technique, Puppet Triad!

Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!

Sand Shower Barrage!

Sasuke!

What is this?!

Gaara.

I've got an Ultimate Defense even greater than yours.

Is that thing the shield that he used to guard against my attacks?

His chakra's the same as when he used that genjutsu.

Uh, oh. This doesn't look good.

Was this what he wanted to test?

Sasuke's chakra, it's so different now. It's too cold!

What is that?

The power...of darkness.

A power that only those who have awakened the Mangekyo in both eyes can achieve.

This is the third power.

The Susano'o!

[Mizukage] When I look at you closely, you Uchiha really are quite handsome indeed.

[Sasuke] Do not interfere!

[Mizukage] Such a fine man; what a waste. At least I get to give you a kiss that will melt you away.

[Chojuro] Lady Mizukage plans to fight!

[Mizukage] Lord Tsuchikage, if you're not going to participate, please just keep your head down.

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Power of the Five Kage.

[Tsuchikage] Heh. Feel free to rampage as you please.
