[unearthly roar]

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!

Nngh... Augh!

Huh.

Yagh!

Damn it!

No! My sight!

Sakura! Why are you here?!

Don't!

I won't let Kakashi Sensei bear this burden!

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.

Sakura, I will never be like you and Naruto.

I'll do anything for you, Sasuke! So please...

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--

[gasp]

Sakura...

Thanks for everything.

Sakura!

A-Aah!

Sasuke! Don't!

Two Fates

You've got even better timing than I do, Naruto.

I never imagined you'd come here, but it's a good thing you did.

You're a lifesaver!

Yeah. Thank you, Naruto.

[Sakura] Sasuke... really tried to kill me just then.

[Sakura] If Naruto hadn't come, I'd be dead now.

[Sakura] By Sasuke's hand.

Sasuke, c'mon.

Sakura's a comrade from Team 7, remember?!

You mean former comrade. I'm off your team.

Now do you understand, Naruto? Sakura?

His intent to kill is undeniable.

Sasuke is no longer the person we once knew.

Listen, Sasuke.

What do you want?

I know the truth about Itachi. That guy Tobi told me everything.

Huh?

The truth about Itachi?

Then again, maybe he was lying. I guess I can't really know for sure.

But it doesn't matter. What you've been doing,

I get it, Sasuke.

Huh?

Naruto.

Just like I told you before,

You never had a family or siblings in the first place. You couldn't possibly "get it",

So all you outsiders can just shut up!!

Do you know what Naruto has gone through for you?

No matter what we hear you've done, he still considers you a comrade.

When everyone wanted to turn on you, Naruto alone stood up for you and wanted to rescue you.

Even now...

Rescue me?

From what?

Oh. Well, from--

From revenge, Sasuke.

Huh?

I swear I'll save you from revenge and from all of the chaos that it causes.

Heh!

But I don't want you to do that.

The stage has already been set for my vengeance!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Not long ago...

I finally got my revenge on the one behind Itachi's betrayal.

How many Uchiha did you have to kill to get that right arm of yours?!

It was all thanks to Itachi.

You made him do it!

Agh!

It's a Reverse Tetragram Sealing Jutsu!

Sasuke! Get away from Danzo!

I took down a high-ranking Hidden Leaf elder right here.

The one called Danzo.

[gasp]

What?! Sasuke killed Danzo?! All by himself?

I 've never felt like this before.

I can feel the tainted Uchiha name becoming cleansed.

I feel the Uchiha at last being freed from this rotting Shinobi world.

You couldn't even begin to understand it.

And besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what you Leaf Shinobi have wanted all along?

You've always snubbed and put down the Uchiha clan.

So I'll simply help erase the Uchiha from your memories,

By killing all of you.

And then destroying...

The Hidden Leaf Village!

Severing all bonds with the Hidden Leaf will be the ultimate purification!

And that shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!

My god, Sasuke.

Hatred. The cycle of hatred begetting hatred.

[Kakashi] That's what created the Sasuke before us.

They may not realize it, but Naruto and Sakura are seeing with their own eyes

that Sasuke is a victim of the times we live in.

Which is especially why,

This is my responsibility.

Naruto, Sakura. Go on, get out of here.

Kakashi Sensei! No!

If you stay, you'll see things you'll wish you hadn't. Now go!

Sensei, I--

Sakura, the poison-laced kunai Shizune taught you how to use won't kill Sasuke.

He still has Orochimaru's immunity to poison.

What's more, you also know how you feel.

No, Sasuke!

I know I just healed you, but you shouldn't...

Ngh!

You can't withstand another battle yet!

Please, Sasuke...

Don't move, Karin. Hold still.

He hit a vital point... right through the hostage?!

[chuckle] Now that's my boy.

One down...

Soon the rest, big brother.

Actually, what am I saying? Why should I still care about Sasuke?

Kakashi Sensei, This "something" you don't want us to see...

Are you going to kill Sasuke?

Go! Both of you!

Now's my chance! And I'm not going to hold back!

Wait, Naruto!

Naruto!

[Naruto] You know, Sasuke...

...there's a chance...

...our roles could have been reversed.

[Itachi] By all means, flee. Cling to your wretched life.

And one day, when you possess the same eyes.

Come back and face me!

Rasengan! Chidori!

Sasuke, you remember, don't you?

Back in the day, The entire Village used to hate me.

Because of the Nine-Tails that's inside of me.

And I hated them right back.

I thought about getting revenge on everyone, too.

And keep wiping until every speck of that graffiti is gone!

Look, it's that... that kid.

Why do they even let that boy stay in the Village, anyway?

Lord Hokage should have more consideration for us!

Shut up!

Haaa!

Hmm?

Hey, you little brat!

Get outta here!

Hmf!

Hey, what's the big idea, buddy?!

Here, is this what you want?!

Ah!

Then just take it and get lost! And don't come back!

There it is again! I don't understand it.

Everybody, even you, my own teacher.

Why does everybody look at me like that all of the time?!

I'm not just a nuisance or some kind of germ; I'm a person, too!

I am!

I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Don't forget it!

One bad move, and I could have been like you, and devised some terrible plan.

I used to think I didn't have any bonds with anyone, either.

Till I met you and Iruka Sensei as well.

[kids giggling and playing]

Daichi! Dinnertime!

Let's go home, everyone.

Mom!

What do you think you're doing? I told you not to play with that boy.

Come on, let's go!

Hmf!

Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, I'll tell you who's really lying.

They've been lying to you your whole life, Naruto.

Since the decree 12 years ago.

What decree is that?

Everyone knows it!

Iruka's trying to hide it from you even now. He'd do anything to shut me up!

What is this decree? Why does everyone else know about it?

The decree is:

no one can tell you the Nine-Tailed Fox is inside you!

[gasp]

The Fox Spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over YOUR body!

You are the Nine-Tailed Fox!

They've all been sneaking around, hiding things from you your whole life.

Didn't you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt!

Like they hated you just for being alive?

That's why you'll never be accepted in this village!

Die, Naruto!

Naruto! Get down!

However...

Nngh! Agh!

Why?

[sniffle] I know how you feel, Naruto.

You feel lonely, and it hurts inside. And I could have been there for you more.

[sniff] I let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to suffer that much. No one should be alone like that.

I almost gave in to my despair.

But you and Iruka Sensei, you saved me!

Back then, I always knew that you were alone, too.

I felt better knowing there was someone like you- like me- out there.

We were just brats, but dealing with stuff no other kid had to.

Me, the Nine-Tails. You, the fate of the Uchiha.

We had such similar burdens. Pretty ironic, huh?

To be honest, nearly every time I saw you, all I really wanted to do was come up to you and start talking.

I'd get sort of giddy. Because I felt like maybe you of all people could understand me.

But I never did.

'Cause I was jealous.

You were so good at everything!

So I decided that instead, I'd make you my rival!

And, Sasuke, From that day on,

...you've been my goal.

[Naruto] Hey. Sasuke, do you remember what you said to me long ago at the Final Valley?

The thing about high-level shinobi?

We learned things right now from trading blows with each other.

So, Sasuke. Can you tell me what I'm thinking right now?

Can you read my mind?

[Kakashi] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: High-Level Shinobi.

[Sasuke] Why are you so fixated on me?!
