(Kakashi) "Encountered Exploding Humans. Investigating independently."

"I respectfully ask for your understanding." Huh&!

Just how long will your journey be forced to continue?

(Chino) Sassy, where are you going?

Is your name Sasuke Uchiha?

The lone survivor of the Uchiha Clan.

That's who you are, isn't it?

(Nowaki) I knew it the moment I saw your Sharingan last night.

So where are you going now?

That has nothing to do with you.

It does involve us!

Because Amino... cooked us really good food!

She was really kind to us.

(Chino) You're going to look for that Fuushin guy, right?

He's the one who changed Amino and the others into human something or others, isn't he?

Listen, we're going, too! I think that we might be able to help.

[grunt]

[determined grunt]

(Chino) And don't give us that "I don't need you guys" look!

That's only gonna make us even more determined to come!

Sassy, are you listening to me?!

[small gasp]

I don't care what you do. But stop calling me that, all right?

Well, I figure that because I'm older than you are, Sassy...

...I can give you whatever nickname I want!

What? Older? R-really?

Ahem!

[gasp] By that much, huh?

What do you mean by "that much?!"

[groan]

You know what, Sassy, it's never a good idea to judge people based on their looks or by your own preconceptions.

(Itachi) You shouldn't judge people by their appearance... or by your own preconceptions either.

(Young Sasuke) Are you gonna join the force too?

(Itachi) Well& I'm not sure&

(Young Sasuke) Why not!?

Boy, when I grow up, I'm definitely gonna enter the police force.

Forgive me... Sasuke...

But, this is it...

(Itachi) And whatever you do from here on out, know this...

...No matter what, I will love you always.

(Chino) Sassy? Hey, Sassy!

[small grunt]

Hey, by the way... have you been back to the Hidden Leaf Village?

Oh, I see! Ignoring me, huh?

So what about reviving the Uchiha Clan? You're the lone survivor, right?

Hello!? Can you hear me!?

Chino, that's enough.

[gasp]

Just whose side are you on here, Nowaki?!

You could be nicer, know you!

So, anyway& Where exactly are we going?

Ignoring me again, huh?

[groan]

I mean... uh...

Hey, you.

I know you're not talking to me because my name isn't "hey, you!"

You asked me if I'm going to look for Fuushin.

...The answer's yes.

Huh...?!

It's just the task that I should be doing right now...

So you have any ideas on where to look?

To create an Exploding Human you need a Kekkei Genkai.

Wait, Sassy... Hey! Hold on a minute, okay? We're coming!

You really think that you're gonna find him inside that seriously scary-looking cave?

Now he's ignoring me again!

[gasps]

(Yamato) You're Sasuke,... right?

I thought as much. Well, you can call me Yamato.

Since you're watching over this place, it must mean that Orochimaru is here.

What?! No way! Orochimaru? Are you saying that...?!

Why don't you tell me the purpose of your visit?

After all, I can't very well allow just anyone who comes here to go inside to see Orochimaru.

It's about the Exploding Humans' attack on the Leaf.

It's possible Orochimaru may have information about the person behind it.

Hm...

(Yamato) Did you send word about this to Lord Sixth?

I plan to report to him if this pans out.

It would be much easier for us to keep things coordinated...

if you were to share every detail you uncover with us.

(Yamato) I understand...

You're doing this all for the sake of the Hidden Leaf Village, right?

That's right.

Heh. Then there's nothing else to say.

I'll go ahead and send Lord Sixth a report.

We're comrades, after all.

And I'm certain that Kakashi Sensei also taught you the importance of trust and teamwork.

Thank you.

(Orochimaru) It's been a long time... hasn't it, Sasuke?

You've brought some interesting-looking friends.

[small gasp]

Do you know a Fuushin, the leader of the Lightning Gang?

Really? Not even a hello?

Seems as though you're blunt as ever.

Tell me everything that you know about him.

Come on, is that any way to ask a favor of someone?

Hurry up, already.

[chuckle] This Fuushin possesses a Kekkei Genkai.

He was once a guard under En Oyashiro.

En Oyashiro?

He's a man who doesn't belong anywhere.

Even though he's a shinobi, he's also an arms dealer.

He'll sell weapons to anyone for the right price, so he's known as the "merchant of death."

He's amassed a huge fortune in his lifetime.

Where is he?

Who knows? He has hideouts that are even more secret than mine.

I think finding him will prove to be rather difficult.

Of course, for someone like you, even something difficult can become easy.

[chuckle] So does this mean that you trust me?

Well, I don't know where to find him...

But... I can lure him out.

However& doing so may cause a few problems.

Why do you think I came all the way out here?

[chuckle] This is quite unlike you.

I'm merely doing what I need to do.

Hmm... I'm feeling the wind stir...

You three wait here.

It will take some time to prepare.

[gasp] Sassy! I didn't have any idea at all that you knew Orochimaru!

I don't recall telling you.

[annoyed grunt]

[panting] Hi Sasuke!!

[flirty chuckle] Hey, you! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

[pouty grunt]

So, um, Sassy...

Did you say Sassy?!

So, uh... is this kid your new girlfriend or something, Sasuke?

Seriously?! You mean, that- that, that, that ugly little hag?

No, there's no way!

Hey! Just who do you think you are, calling me ugly?!

Please, Sasuke, say that it isn't true!

It's not.

[relieved sigh]

Heh. You should've seen the look on your face. Nothing but absolute panic.

Shut up! If it weren't for that big mouth of yours, you'd have nothing at all!

(Suigetsu) Whatever!

It's been a while, huh?

(Karin) Say that again, you idiot!

So you've been continuing your travels?

That's right.

You haven't been back to Hidden Leaf, then?

You see?! You're worried sick about what Sasuke's up to-- [grunt]

You are really getting on my nerves, you know that?!

[clapping] Enough, all of you. You need to quiet down.

Everything's ready. Shall we go?

Lord Orochimaru, are we going out somewhere?

Sasuke and I will be taking a trip to the sea.

What?! Seriously?!

Going to the sea with Sasuke!

(Orochimaru) You'll stay and mind the fort.

You know, to be honest, I can't really imagine Lord Orochimaru at the beach...

Hold on, that's news to me too.

To be more precise, it's a secluded island.

There's an amusement spot for the wealthy there.

And that's where En Oyashiro is?

If he takes the bait. [chuckle]

[quivering]

Nowaki.

All right.

Don't go... Sasuke...

[teasing]

What is the deal with that girl!?

Aw, come on, this is such a drag...

(Suigetsu) Imagine, Sasuke working for the sake of strangers&

To be fair, it's the Hidden Leaf that was attacked.

The people there aren't strangers to him...

Yeah, but he told us that he hasn't even returned to the village.

Think it's hard for him to go back there?

(Karin) Don't you guys get it?

Hm?

The big ninja war might be over now, but there are still lots of dangerous people.

As long as Sasuke has those eyes, he'll have people coming after him.

And so, by showing everyone that Sasuke isn't in the Hidden Leaf Village and that he's still out journeying around the world

...it reduces the possibility that the village will be harmed.

So are you saying that Sasuke has to keep traveling forever?

[gasp]

(Jugo) That might be so...

You know, The fact that you once tried to destroy the Leaf Village...

...orchestrated the assassination of the Fourth Kazekage...

...and are still able to move freely is quite astonishing.

[chuckle] Free? Oh, I'm not free.

And besides, You're a fine one to talk, Sasuke...

By all rights, you should be locked up, too.

Although, even Kabuto, one of the architects of the Fourth Great Ninja War...

...is now the director of an orphanage...

Kabuto is?!

Although, compared to me, the likelihood that Kabuto will return to evil again is extremely low.

How can you be so sure?

[chuckle] Don't you trust the power of Itachi Uchiha?

(Orochimaru) Kabuto, you, and I are insurance...

in case something happens that can't be countered with conventional wisdom or abilities.

(Sasuke) Insurance?

Every era has its dissenters, after all.

And when such people show up, inhuman powers like ours might be necessary.

(orochimaru) Some things can't be protected by justice alone.

So... taming us properly is for everyone's sake.

...But...

your friend in the Leaf likely doesn't have an inkling of this concept in his head...

Probably not.

[chuckle]

There. You can see it in the distance.

[crowd chatter]

Where are we?

This is an island you can't find on any map.

Oh...

Well, let's go.

[scoff]

[small worried gasp]

[cheering and applause]

(Chino) What is this place?

They call this the Coliseum.

The Coliseum?

Good evening, everyone! Are all of you enjoying yourselves so far?

(Ring Announcer) Glory for the victor! Despair for the loser!

The rules are simple! The one with your ID tag faces someone with another person's.

And the winner is whoever manages to take his opponent's ID tag...

Simply put... it's a match of pure survival!

What's going on here, Orochimaru?

It's exactly as the man said.

The wealthy patrons here pit their shinobi against each other,

and the losing fighter then becomes the property of the winner.

[grunt]

First up is today's semi-final match!

Entering the ring, wearing the ID tag of President Makibi of the Makibi Corporation

Raimei, the Black Lightning Flash!

All right!

His opponent, wearing the ID tag of President Himeyuri of the Himeyuri Company...

Suzuran, the Eerie Flame of the White Moon!

(orochimaru) This place is like a casino.

All right, let's get started!

It's now or never!

No foul play, no grudges after! A single-bout challenge!

Ready? Fight!

[attack grunts]

[grunt]

[crowd cheering]

I don't have time to waste on sick hobbies like this one.

Where's En Oyashiro?

(Orochimaru) Good question.

But I do know that this is just about the only place he's likely to show up.

He won't come if there's no shinobi he wants.

Whoa! Suzuran is down!

Which means that... Raimei takes it!

(Ring Announcer) President Makibi is overjoyed!

(himeyuri) You useless good-for-nothing!

Why do you think I kept you around all this time?! Just so you can lose?!

You ungrateful failure!

This whole place is worthless.

(Chino) Then, why don't you help?

Hm?

To a victim, their assailant and a bystander who does nothing are no different.

That bystander would be no better than the assailant if they didn't try to help.

So if you just stand there, pitying the loser but doing nothing to stop the decadence of these rich snobs...

Well, then, Sasuke... You're just as guilty as they are.

(Nowaki) Chino, enough.

Chino...! [groan]

Apparently the sight of all this was too shocking for the little child.

No, she's older than I am.

What?

(Ring Announcer) The wait is finally over! Now, for the main event!

Wearing En Oyashiro's ID tag we have... Futsu!

It would seem that he's taken the bait.

(Ring Announcer) And his opponent will be wearing Lord Orochimaru's ID tag...

The legendary shinobi who attacked the Five Kage Summit... The last Uchiha...

Sasuke Uchiha!

What's the meaning of this?

Like I told you. En Oyashiro will only appear for something he wants.

Tsk.

Yes. You see, he's... a collector of Kekkei Genkai.

What? A collector of Kekkei Genkai?

That's right. And with your Sharingan, Sasuke, he probably wants you more than anyone else.

Now that I know he's in the arena, all I have to do is find him, right?

(Orochimaru) En Oyashiro is a careful man.

It's no issue for him to hide his form or his scent.

Who knows where he might be now?

But he will most definitely appear after the match for the ID tag transfer.

That's the custom here at the Coliseum.

[scoff]

Wait a minute, here, folks... Could this be a forfeit?!

Go on now.

He's here! He's arrived, ready to go!

Sasuke Uchiha has appeared!

So that's Sasuke Uchiha, is it...?

Now let me see your Sharingan.

All right, let get started! It's now or never!

No foul play, no grudges after! A single-bout challenge!

Ready!? Fight!

[applause]

[big inhale]

Vapor Style: Solid Fog Jutsu, eh?

[girls screaming]

[grunting]

[crowd screaming]

President Makibi?!

(Ring Announcer) An ambulance! Someone call an ambulance!

[groaning]

...had inflicted persecution upon another?

(Sasuke) And Itachi? Did he know about this?

(Orochimaru) You might learn something more if you go to Hell Valley.

(Sasuke) I want to see this Hell Valley with my own eyes&

(Sasuke) To see it as the last surviving Uchiha...
