(Sasuke) Kakashi?

You're not usually here first.

Well, it happens once in a while...

So what's going on? Why did you summon us here?

(Thinking) Sasuke...! You've grown up...

It's been a long time Sasuke.

Itachi Uchiha

I hope you're ready... to die!

Well The Sharingan.

...And he looks an awful lot like you .

...Itachi, who is this kid?

He's my younger brother.

So you've awakened your Sharingan.

Of course... you would've already

It's just as you said, brother

I've fostered my hatred all this time

I've lived my life all in pursuit of one single purpose

(Thinking) How strong have you become?

To kill you

It ends here!

Chidori?

[attack cry] Die!!!

(Itachi Thinking) I see. It was Kakashi, huh?

[bone snap] [crying in pain]

Sasuke!! All right, that's it!

Ninja art! Summo-

Too slow!

(Itachi) Master Jiraiya

I know he's the one you're really after.

You're right. Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki are after...

...And we will have him.

No way you're getting Naruto.

We'll see about that.

Actually, this is all very convenient...

I can eliminate you both at the same time.

Stay out of this!

...The only one... who's going to eliminate him... is me!

You don't interest me at the moment.

(Thinking) Not yet, Sasuke...

[grunts]

(Naruto) Sasuke no!

Why you lousy!

No Naruto! Don't butt in, mind your own business!

[gasp]

Just back off! This fight is mine!

[grunt]

(Thinking) That's right!

And now, finally--!

[grunts]

(Itachi Thinking) You don't have enough...

[coughs blood]

(Itachi Thinking) Forgive me, Sasuke! Forgive me!

You show him no mercy.

Hate me more...

You're weak, Sasuke.

And for the next twenty-four hours... Relive that day...

You're using Tsukuyomi on your younger brother?

That's it! I'm through standing around!

[gasp]

You're still too weak...

You just don't have enough hate.

Kisame, come.

Stop! [grunt]

Why did we have to retreat? You could've won that fight.

(Thinking) Sasuke

Even though Lord Third is dead, you still have people who will protect you

I'll be waiting, Sasuke.

Why are you so obsessed with my brother?!

He's just a rogue ninja.

It's true that we may not be blood, but he's more of a brother to me than you ever were to him.

I know that you've been trying to take Sasuke back to the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, what if it doesn't go the way you want it to?

I'll do anything to make it happen.

You just said you consider Sasuke... to be like a brother to you.

What if Sasuke were to attack the Hidden Leaf Village?

What would you do then?

Why would-? No, there's just no way that Sasuke would ever do something like that!

Sasuke is still a blank canvas.

He can easily be dyed into any color.

If he resists... would you be able to stop him?

Or even kill him if need be?

[gasp]

Could you weigh Sasuke against the Hidden Leaf on a set of scales?

I would defend the Village!

And I'd find a way to stop Sasuke without killing him!

You're such a child

All your tales are nothing but mere fantasies

Shinobi must be capable of making very harsh decisions

Someone else once tried to tell me this same thing.

But for me, there is no choice.

I gave my word and I'll never back down

That will always be my Ninja Way!

I see.

He's here.

How much can you see? With those Sharingan of yours?

What I'm seeing right now, Itachi... is you dead at my feet!

You see me dead, do you?

Well, then...

Go on, make it happen.

[groaning]

[gasp]

Forgive me, Sasuke But this is the end.

You don't ever have to forgive me.

No matter what, I will love you always.

(Sasuke Thinking) I...

I've made up my mind, Big Brother

All that's left... is them.

So it really didn't let the light through

Finally.

Looks like that Zetsu guy wasn't affected by it at all...

Sasuke! We gotta wake them all up from the genjutsu. But how?

Rinnegan genjutsu can be dealt with using Rinnegan.

Probably...

Which means Sasuke's left eye is necessary...

I won't let that happen. All that's left is to get rid of you guys...

Which I, the savior of the world shall do.

Madara!

That eye on his forehead!

Be careful. We're surrounded on all sides by four of his Shadows.

Yeah, I know that!

I won't let you do anything else.

I just severed the Karmic Cycle of this world.

I have freed humankind from their suffering, pain, and futility.

But all this... It's all just a lie!

Right now... you're the one interfering with everyone's happiness, Naruto.

[gasp]

Look! All the fighting among shinobi has come to an end now!

I've transformed hell into heaven. I've finally corrected Hashirama's mistake.

What are you talking about? What do you mean, his "mistake?"

You Hidden Leaf shinobi may not want to admit it,... but Hashirama ultimately failed.

He did not reform the Shinobi World.

In the beginning, both Hashirama and I had the same ambitions.

And we worked together to try to achieve them.

We tried to change the shinobi world,

the abominable system that sent barely grown children out to fight in wars.

The two of us founded the first shinobi village.

But even that did not result in true peace.

People simply aren't able to show each other their true feelings.

Fear, suspicion, resentment... They never subside.

My opinions and concerns were pushed aside,

and the Shinobi World moved forward in accordance with Hashirama's vision.

And what happened because of it?

Well, the fighting among shinobi hasn't stopped.

Instead, establishing ninja villages led to an increase in military build-up...

...resulting in skirmishes that turned into great wars with countless lives lost.

There was the First Great Ninja War

The Second Great Ninja War

The Third Great Ninja War

The fighting never stopped. That's the Shinobi World Hashirama created.

I will admit, I was the one responsible for triggering this Fourth Great Ninja War

That's right! Because of you, so many died!

I also proposed that the Tailed Beasts be handed over peacefully.

Now everyone's inside the Divine Tree, all dreaming idyllic dreams.

And all of them are now enjoying their ideal worlds.

This is your idea of a perfect world?

You're way off. You're only deceiving people.

All that I'm seeking to do is to become the savior that ends the long history of fighting amongst shinobi.

It's time you woke up.

...It's all over.

Huh?

(Black Zetsu) Wrong, Madara. You are not the savior.

Nor is this the end of things.

I can't move!

What's going on?!

How can you say that you, unlike Obito, are able to completely take advantage of others?

Isn't it presumptuous to think that you alone are different?

My dear Madara,... you have also been caught inside a phantom dream

...a dream that I concocted.

Inside a dream...? What are you talking about, Black Zetsu?

I was the one who created you in the first place!

You are nothing more than my will made incarnate!

Wrong again... My will is... Kaguya's!

What the hell is going on now?!

They're having a falling out, now?!

No, that isn't it. He just mentioned Kaguya.

Kaguya?

And what's that?!

The one the Sage of Six Paths mentioned.

(Sage of Six Paths) The current Madara is a perfect example.

. He's become just like my mother...

he's obtained Ten Tails' power and is getting close to me.

And he's trying to obtain even my mother Kaguya's power.

However, my mother's power bred arrogance within her.

And mankind began to dread the existence of that power.

No way

What's that?!

Their chakra... It's being absorbed?

[agonizing scream]

[gasp]

Whoa, what the hell is happening with him?! That chakra's incredible!

All of Madara's Shadows have disappeared! Something's going on!

[cracking]

(Sasuke) It's chakra!

[rushing wind]

[chuckling]

Is he absorbing all this chakra that's erupting from the ground?

Where did all of this thick, dark chakra come from?!

It's probably from all those trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

[screams]

This is really bad, Sasuke!

This chakra's way stronger than even Ten Tails'!

Stop them before they move!

Go, Naruto!

You mean we gotta stop 'em while they're still swelling up, right?

huh?

[grunts]

(Black Zetsu) You're like two moths flying into the flame!

I'm gonna absorb the chakra from the both of you, too.

Damn it!

[determined grunts]

No, Sakura!

But, Sensei...!

Unless you have a plan, it'll be wasted.

Aw, no way! Come on! I can't move!

Sasuke, if we aren't able to stop this guy soon... then he's gonna drain

everyone else's chakra before he gets ours, and all of them will die!

[grunt]

Don't worry. No one is going to die.

Even when Kaguya previously cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi upon the populace,

she preserved those people alive...

...in order to form them into her soldiers.

To form them...? And what does that mean?!

[laugh] You seem to be denser than Itachi.

Can you use ordinary people in combat?

[grunt]

[gasp]

No way...

They're turned into White Zetsu.

What's left of those who were under the previous Infinite Tsukuyomi...

That's what White Zetsu are.

They've become transformed, slowly, over time.

Are you telling us that everyone is gonna end up as those white Zetsu?!

What are you talking about?! That can't be, Black Zetsu!

The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a jutsu belonging to the Uchiha Clan!

It's one that brings eternal peace to the shinobi world.

And on what do you base that assumption on?

Anyone who's able can read it. It was carved into the Uchiha stone tablet...

...by the Sage of the Six Paths!

My dear Madara, I have been around for eons longer than you.

Since finding the stone tablet left by Hagoromo, I've had quite some time to make "revisions."

What?! Revisions?!

The Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't a jutsu to create peaceful dreams.

It's a jutsu to gather enormous amounts of chakra from its captives.

For what purpose?

For the exact purpose you just enacted.

All according to my will. Or rather, Kaguya's.

No, never! For that-?!

Just as you used Obito as a pawn, you, too, were merely a pawn.

[gasp]

Hey, look! He's getting bigger!

His body can't tolerate the amount of chakra that he's taking in!

At this rate, he'll explode!

Why? Why did this happen?!

Hashirama Where did I go wrong?

He's shrinking?!

Obito!

[gasps]

Isn't she the one Super Gramps mentioned

Kaguya Otsutsuki!

(Sakura) Who is she? Why'd Madara suddenly become her?

(Sasuke) This chakra... It's far greater than Madara's!

I can't believe such a person existed!

Hagoromo knew she'd appear, that's why he gave us...

(Kakashi) Sakura, don't make any careless moves right now.

(Naruto) Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "She of the Beginning."

(Kakashi) What are your intentions?!
