He's not in here.

He's not in here, either!

He's not in here, either!

Where the heck...are you?!

We've finally...made it this far!

Where are you...?!

Where are you?

Sasuke!

Sakura, huh?

Sa...su...ke.

Sasuke...

So it's you, Naruto...?

You don't even have\Nparents or siblings...

What do you know about me?!

You've been alone from the start!

What do you know about me?! Huh?!

It's having the bond that\Nmakes it painful!

You've no idea\Nwhat it's like to lose that...!

You're right.

I don't know about having\Nreal parents or siblings...

If that's the case...

Why Naruto...?

Why do you go so far for me...?

To me, it's a bond...\NI've finally been able to establish.

That's why I'll stop you!

If that's the case,\Nthen why didn't you...?

Then I'll just break that bond!

Why didn't you kill me\Nback then?!

Is that how you wanted\Nto break the bond?!

Sasuke!

The reason's simple...

It's not that I couldn't break\Nthe bond with you...

You're one who might be able

to use the same Mangekyo\NSharingan as mine...

However, there is one condition...

You must kill...

your closest friend.

It was just irritating to me.

Obtaining power according to\Nthe method I heard about from him.

You're only alive because\Nof my passing whim.

When did he...?!

Come to think of it,

didn't you have a dream\Nof becoming the Hokage...?

If you had the time to\Nchase after me,

you should've spent that\Ntime training or something...

Right... Naruto?

And that's why this time around...

You'll lose your life...

because of my passing whim.

There's no way a guy\Nwho can't even save one friend...

can ever become the Hokage.

Isn't that right...Sasuke?

Sasuke...!

Naruto...

Show him...our...powers.

What's the matter...?

Why do you hesitate...?

You need my power, don't you?

Now then...

Who do you want to kill...?

You should know.

That you can't do anything\Non your own.

SEAL\N\N\N\N\NBreak the seal completely!

I'll grant you all of my powers\Nif you do.

How...?!

I can see it now...

So this is your unknown power, huh...?

Who would've thought...

you'd have something like this\Ninside of you...

I see...\NSo you're an Uchiha...

My how you've grown...

To think you'd be able\Nto see me within Naruto...

That loathsome Sharingan...

So that's the power of\Nthe cursed clan, huh?

It seems this isn't the first time\Nyou've seen the Sharingan.

Then...you must be\Nthe Nine-Tailed Fox, huh...?

That vision, and Chakra\Nmore ominous than mine...

It's just like...\NMadara Uchiha, from long ago...

Heck if I know...that person.

Homecoming\N\N\NDid you find it?

All clear here.

Target acquired!

Uh-oh! It'll get into the village!

No way will we let it get away!

What the--?!

Where'd it go?

That way!

Hey, you squirts!

Hey!

W-We're sorry!

What're you doing?!

Sorry!

Sorry about that.

Ichiraku Ramen

I'm going out for a small delivery.

Whoa! Outta the way!

Sorry, pops!

Hey, Naruto!

No, I mean...

Konohamaru!

Konohamaru!\NWe've cornered the target.

Hurry up.

It'll get away!

No problem!

Why you--!

- Give it up already!\N- Konohamaru!

I got him!

A ribbon on the right ear...\NNo doubt about it.

Ebisu Sensei, we captured\Nthe lost pet target "Dora."

Heh-heh... Mission complete!

Oh, my adorable Dora!

I was worried to death about you.\NWhere were you?

I'd want to run away too,

if an old lady like that\Nwere my owner...

Konohamaru!

All right, here is the reward.

Now then, let's go home, Dora.

How many hours did it take\Nyou guys to catch a simple lost cat?!

But that cat was incredibly quick...

And he seemed accustomed\Nto running away...

I don't want to hear\Nany excuses!

A mission like this must be carried out\Nmore quickly and properly!

You guys are not good enough!

I can't display my true strength\Non a lame mission like this!

Say, Iruka Sensei.

Don't you have more of\Nan awesome mission for me?

Listen... Konohamaru...

Konohamaru, you guys just\Nbecame Genin.

There's no way I can give missions\Nlike that to you right off the bat, right?!

It'll be D-rank missions\Nuntil further notice.

I can't be satisfied with that!

After all, in the future

I'm going to become\Nthe Seventh Hokage.

Seventh? Not the Sixth?

Brother Naruto's going to be the Sixth.

Brother Naruto, huh...?

I wonder where he is right now...

I bet he'll return having become\Nan awesome Shinobi.

I have faith in him!

He's more of a Second Naruto\Nthan a Seventh Hokage...

Naruto... Are you holding up okay?

No matter what, I'll get strong\Nand bring Sasuke back!

Quite a bit of time has passed\Nsince he said that

and went off for real training\Nwith Master Jiraiya...

Yes. Isn't it just about the time\Nhe should be returning?

We need him to return.

After all, there will probably be\Nsignificant developments sometime soon.

Hey... Could that be...?

Yeah... No doubt about it.

Miss Sakura!

Oh, Konohamaru!

Where are you off to?

The main village gate.

I have to pick up the morning pedestrian\Ntraffic ledger for Lady Tsunade.

You want to come?

It's been about two and a half years.

Yeah, it has...

And then that Dora cat suddenly\Nstarts scratching me like crazy!

We had missions like that, too.\NIt kind of takes me back.

Come to think of it,

have you heard anything\Nfrom Brother Naruto?!

Nothing...yet.

I see...

He should be coming back soon, though...

Hello, Izumo, Kotetsu.

Oh, look who's here...

Why don't you head on into town?

You'll see something interesting.

Something interesting...?

Don't tell me!

He's having a ball...

This takes me back!\NThe village hasn't changed a bit!

Everyone! Naruto Uzumaki's back!

It's all so nostalgic...!

Yup! Yup!

They added GrandmaTsunade's\NMountainside Image!

For real...?

For real!

Naruto? Is that you, Naruto?

When did you get back, Naruto?!

Just now!

Long time no see, Sakura!

You've gotten taller than me,\Nhaven't you?

Huh...?

Oh! You're right.

He kind of...got\Na build since I saw him last...

So? You think I've become\Na bit womanly?

You're fine!\NYou haven't changed a bit.

You just don't understand\Nthe heart of a woman...

Brother Naruto!

Sexy Jutsu!

Ohh!

Wha--?!

How about that?!\NPretty nice waist, hips and bust, huh?!

Konohamaru...\NI'm not a kid anymore.

And you too, shouldn't be using Jutsu...\Nlike that...

That's right. It isn't just\Nyour appearance that's matured...

I kind of feel a bit lonesome,

but you've turned out quite admirable,\Nhaven't you, Naruto?

Knowing you, I bet you came back\Nhaving acquired some incredible Jutsu.

That's such a boring Jutsu!

Check out my freshly\Ndeveloped New Pervy Ninjutsu!

Right... Like the New Pervy Ninjutsu...

Here we go!

Hey, you idiot!

You haven't changed at all,\Nhave you, you jerk?!

After seeing each other for\Nthe first time in like two years!

You make me do this\Nin barely two minutes!

What am I supposed to do

with the feelings of admiration\NI had for you earlier, huh?!

- That short temper and incredible strength.\N- I'm not the least bit lonesome!

- She's a second-generation Tsunade.\N- Huh? God, I'm mad at myself!

Just like I thought,\NSakura hasn't changed at all...

In fact, I get the feeling she's\Neven more vicious than before...

Huh? Did you say something?

It's been a long time, you two.

I'm sure your training produced\Ngood results, right?

Do you think we came back\Nwithout making progress?

It went perfectly!

Then show me those\Nresults immediately.

Show you...?

You will take on a particular man.

I didn't send him on any missions\Nfor the past several days

and had him standby\Nfor this very purpose.

Your opponent will be...

Come in!

Oh!

Today at around five\Nin the afternoon,

Security Ninja were found collapsed

at the fortress of\Nthe Village Hidden in the Sand.

No signs of dispute were found\Nwithin the scene of the crime;

leading officials to believe\Nthe crime might have been committed

by someone in the village,\Nor a skilled intruder.

Around the same time,\Nthere have been reported sightings

of two men dressed in black clothing\Nwith red cloud patterns.

They are likely connected\Nto the incident.
