[gasps]

You were gonna use your Ketsuryugan to get revenge against the Uchiha...

who forced the Chinoike Clan to Hell Valley?

Hmm.

So I was your target from the very start.

If I sent Exploding Humans to the Leaf Village, I figured you'd be sure to go back.

I planned to kill you along with the entire Leaf, but...

But what, then? We met at the Bamboo Village?

Coincidence can be pretty scary, don't you think?

We attacked that village just to get back at them for what they did to us before.

[chuckles]

We never expected that going there would lead to running into you.

(Chino) But thanks to the head of the Bamboo Village's...

let's say "interesting" parting words, we changed our plans.

I'll never forgive you, Fuushin!

I was after Fuushin...

so you joined me and used your Exploding Humans as a diversion whenever needed.

And Nowaki, or rather Fuushin, would attack me with his chakra sword.

And in case you couldn't kill me...

you even asked an old partner to stand by and pretend to be Fuushin.

[chuckles] Well, then? Are you gonna kill me now?

(Chino) We're both the last ones left from the Chinoike and Uchiha Clans.

So let's put everything on the line!

And fight to the death!

Sorry, but I'm not interested in doing that.

[chuckles] You're the same as usual.

But don't think that you can go around with that cool expression of yours on your face forever!

(Chino) Using our blood, the Chinoike Clan can make use of all kinds of jutsu.

And also...

these red pools all around us contain a lot of iron.

And that's going to make the power of the Chinoike even stronger!

What's that?

[roars]

Get him!

[attacking roar]

[attacking roar]

[grunts]

[angry roar]

[gasps] Go!

[attacking roar]

[grunts]

[attacking roar]

[gasps]

[roar]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Do you want to keep going?

[chuckles]

[gasps]

Hmph!

Hmm!

Chakra's entering my wound?

[chuckles]

(Sasuke) What?

(Chino) My chakra seals the wound and then lies in wait.

Lies in wait?

Isn't it obvious?

[grunting]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Now goodbye, Sasuke Uchiha.

(Sasuke) So that's how you made the Exploding Humans?

[gasps]

(Chino) The Sharingan?

[gasps]

[screams]

[gasps]

I was so incredibly jealous of you, Sasuke.

(Chino) Being born in the Hidden Leaf, bearing the Uchiha name...

and having a family that loved you.

You became infamous after you left your village but now you're still able to travel freely.

And that is all because you have people who love and protect you.

Uh!

(Chino) I get it.

Hmm.

(Chino) That you've always, always, always been loved by someone.

There were always people like that around you.

But not me! I've always been alone!

(Sasuke) What the heck do you know about it?

(Sasuke) You were on your own right from the beginning!

What makes you think you know anything about it huh?

(Sasuke) I'm suffering because I have those ties!

How on earth could you possibly understand what it feels like to lose all that?!

(Chino) So why?

Hm?

Why, huh? Why are you fighting for the sake of the Leaf?

Its leaves are bright, but its roots are black!

There is light and darkness in the Hidden Leaf!

For the Leaf's nourishment, your entire clan was absorbed by your Village's roots!

So tell me, how can you fight for the Leaf?

(Sasuke) Because I'm alive.

What's that mean?

I have a friend who saved me.

A friend who can share my pain. And I with him.

He wishes that someday the whole world could be like that, too.

A world where people can share their pain.

[grunts]

Impossible. That's just wishful thinking!

That's why he wants to make it real!

[grunts]

And it's that hopeful heart that connects me to the Hidden Leaf!

To be like my older brother and support this world from the shadows.

And with...

With what?

The light this world is gazing at up ahead.

[gasps] No, I don't wanna see a world like that!

Enough! Kill me!

Hurry and kill me!

(Fuushin) Chino!

Huh?

[grunting]

(Chino) Fuushin!

[grunting]

[groans]

[grunts] Fuushin?

Fuushin! Why did you come here?

[grunting]

Fuushin?

[gasps]

You should be able to understand the meaning of what I said now.

[gasps]

I have a friend who saved me.

A friend who can share my pain. And I with him.

[gasps]

Huh?

If you're gonna kill someone, kill me.

[gasps]

[grunting]

Huh?

Fuushin.

It's okay.

[sobbing] It's really okay.

[gasps]

I'd be in a whole lot of pain. [sobbing]

If I were to lose you!

[crying]

Chino.

[crying]

You know, Sasuke, I wish we'd never met at that Village.

(Chino) Then maybe, I could've kept on hating you with my whole heart.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

(Chino) Also...

I wanna see the future you talked about. I wanna see that new world!

Hmm.

It's the last bit.

It's right at the brachial artery.

M-hm.

(Hinata) We're good. There's no more foreign chakra circulating inside him now.

[sighs]

(Sakura) Thank you.

It's 'cause of you that those guys were saved! So thanks.

[chuckles] I think it was thanks your exceptional skill, Sakura!

[chuckles]

The ringleader was turned over to the authorities last night, isn't that right?

Yeah.

So was Sasuke there, then?

I thought that he would be.

But they asked for Leaf shinobi to go to the Land of Steam to take custody.

The one who captured the ringleader didn't come back here with them.

[chewing]

[sighs]

Well, hello.

I'm the one behind all this.

I take full responsibility for everything.

So please, I want you to be lenient with these guys.

No! That isn't what we want, Chino!

Yeah. That's right, Chino!

All right, just calm down.

The truth is I discussed it with the Mizukage of the Land of Mist and she wants to take you in.

Wh-Why would she?

Because now's the only time to stop the chain of negativity.

[gasps]

(Kakashi) Please come in.

Let's skip the formalities.

I know all about the connection to the Hidden Mist that you have had in the past.

[gasps]

(Mizukage) As long as it's okay with you.

I'd like to ask all of you to come help the Hidden Mist.

[gasps]

But why?

You must atone for what you did and doing that will take the rest of your lives.

(Kakashi) But then, every shinobi, great or small, has to bear the very same burden.

And I'm no different. [chuckles]

(Kakashi) How about you fight again, with your own life?

Also, there's another thing I'd like to let you know.

Hmm?

(Kakashi) Right around now, he should be...

[cheering]

[chuckles]

Whoa! Folks, what is this?

(Announcer) Sasuke Uchiha, the last member of the Uchiha Clan, has returned to the Coliseum!

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

So if you just stand there pitying the loser...

but doing nothing to stop the decadence of these rich snobs. Well then Sasuke.

(Chino) You're just as guilty as they are.

I will fully welcome all challenges! And I will free all the shinobi here!

If you want the Uchiha's eye, come and get it!

Sasuke is...? [gasps]

But there are so many shinobi with Kekkai Genkai there! Even somebody like Sasuke.

(Naruto) Don't underestimate Sasuke, ya know!

I think Sasuke is doing this for your sake. So he would never, ever lose!

Hmm.

So are you Sasuke's?

Hmm?

Yeah! I'm his friend. My name's Naruto Uzumaki. [chuckles]

That friend of yours saved me from the darkness.

I'm very grateful.

[chuckles] I see!

[cheering]

[heavy breathing]

(Announcer) Th-This is something no one ever could've imagined!

Sasuke Uchiha has beaten every last shinobi!

Which means that he's acquired every single shinobi!

[grunting]

So now, what happens to us?

The Hidden Cloud will take you in.

The Cloud will?

(Raikage) Yes, indeed!

We of the Hidden Cloud will safeguard all of you shinobi!

At the same time...

every last one of you who took part in the illegal gambling here will now be arrested.

[shocked screams]

[grunts]

[groans] How dull.

This isn't looking good.

All right, kid. I'm here.

I'm grateful.

You really should be thanking your Lord Sixth.

He came and insisted that since this island was close to my village...

it was the Cloud's business to deal with it.

That's the reason why we're here.

So dull.

Long ago, for your sake. Naruto bowed to me in the snow and fiercely argued for you.

(Raikage) It was when you abducted my kid brother Bee...

and Danzo agreed to my request to eliminate you as a Rogue Ninja.

(Naruto) It's Sasuke.

I want you to cancel the elimination of Sasuke Uchiha!

Look, I'm begging you!

I don't want us taking each other down for vengeance anymore!

I'm glad that we didn't take you down back then.

Huh?

Know yourself and know other people too. And don't mistake your path again.

Understand what it means that you're allowed to walk freely in this world now.

(Raikage) And create a reason for others to accept that.

Hmm.

[sighs] Although, maybe with this incident, you just created one.

'Course just one won't be enough.

(Orochimaru) So, they didn't get you.

Well, I'm here, aren't I?

All according to plan, I suppose?

That's right. Thanks to you.

Hmm.

Fights are very likely to break out when you live within a small community.

You live huddled together, shoulder to shoulder, for year after year.

So all of the little squabbles build up, and you start hating each other.

In the end, you're at each other's throats.

That sounds just like the Uchiha Clan.

Yes, they were definitely like that, however.

That's the truth of the Chinoike Clan.

When my wife got dragged in and was killed...

at that point, all kinds of things stopped mattering to me.

So that's why you killed your entire clan?

[chuckles] Even still, my daughter was surprisingly adorable.

You witnessed the foolish things that your dear daughter was doing in the Coliseum.

Is that why you gave up on acquiring Sasuke...

and instead just used him to put a stop to her actions?

[chuckles] Such a doting parent.

Well, I consider myself more of a disaster, honestly.

But still, this whole thing just kinda feels weird, you know?

Sasuke isn't even here in the Village, but it's like we're both on a mission together.

Yeah, you're right.

There's lots of things only a talented ninja can do. That's why we need Sasuke around.

There are guys out there who are doing terrible things, like what just happened.

But I guess that it all works out in the end if there are guys like Sasuke to counter them.

Hmm!

What's up, Sakura? You seem kinda happy!

Huh?

[chuckles]

Before he left to go on his journey, Sasuke told me...

This is a trip to atone for my sins.

With what just happened...

I know Sasuke is definitely trying extremely hard to accomplish all of that.

[chuckles]

I just...

Hmm?

I just wish that I was standing next to him while he does.

[gasps]

Just forget that I said anything, you understand?

Wha? [grunts]

Must be from Kakashi.

Illegible. It's Naruto.

(Naruto) Sasuke!

You may not be back in the village right now, but you're still protecting it.

You're just like a one-man Leaf Police Force!

(Young Sasuke) Are you going to 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.

It's been a while, maybe, I'll go home.

(Shikamaru) The issue with the Land of Silence could become violent.

But if the Alliance finds out that we're independently investigating this...

(Shikamaru) it's gonna be troublesome.

Still, taking action against the Land of Silence in the name of the Alliance will be thorny.

(Shikamaru) Just when we'd finally achieved peace.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden:

"Shikamaru's Story: A Cloud Drifting in the Silent Dark, Part 1: The State of Affairs."

We can't stand by anymore without taking action.
