Connecting old words that have been used up
I just want to convey my simple thoughts
That day's faint wind blows away
at the castle ruins of yesterday
I'll laugh with you and live for the moment
Still that incident will continue to trouble you, right?
That's why it must be good bye
Leaving nothing behind, let us share what is left
In time, we'll realize that it was everything
And sadness will touch our cheeks, creating a river of tears
Trembling thoughts swept into a vortex and melting away
Who're you guys?
I'm in a bad mood right now.
If you wanna continue to fight,
I won't go easy on you.
You stop your babbling, weakling.
Hey, come over here.
I'm gonna play do re mi fa so la ti do on you...
while I snap your ribs!
I'll do it!
What?! He got both of my legs with his string...!
Why you!
Humph! Let's hear a nice sound.
Do!
W What?!
Re!
Wh Where is he attacking from?!
Your bones make a really low sound, don't they?
Let's hear a much sharper reverberation, shall we?
Right?
Next, I'll go for a mi fa so tri combination.
Wha?!
What?!
Last!
Lions Barrage!
An Invitation from the Sound
Here you are!
I'm digging in!
Sakura! Go on, eat, eat!
The Chinese style barbecued pork ramen noodles here are fabulous!
Don't worry. It's my treat.
Right, chef?
You're gonna treat your girl.
You're growing up, aren't you, Naruto?
Wh Wh What?!
Wh What the heck are you talking about?
I need to have an important conversation with Sakura today...
Sh She's not my girl or anything like that...
Sakura?
Sorry, Naruto. I was little spaced out.
This looks delicious.
Now then... Let's eat! Let's eat!
Yeah! Tell me about Sasuke while we eat.
Sasuke told me not to tell you this, Naruto, but...
It's all that guy Orochimaru's fault...
S Stop!
Kakashi Sensei said it would be fine and I'd like to believe that too...
But when he was battling Gaara...
Earlier today...
Sasuke was wearing the same expression as the time before.
That's why I...
Orochimaru, huh? I ran into him again a little while back.
Really? Where?!
When I was searching for Old Lady Tsunade...
Die!
Shoot!
Pervy Sage and the old lady...
Despite the fact that he was fighting two of them at once,
he was incredibly powerful.
He's one dangerous dude.
That strong...
It'll all be fine, believe it!
Sasuke wouldn't fall to that kind of guy's enticement.
He's already a really powerful guy,
so he wouldn't need to do that kind of thing
I guarantee it!
Yeah!
Why does Master Orochimaru want this guy anyway?
Kimimaro would have been much better...
Well, if you stay in a seedy place like this,
you'll just remain mediocre at best.
You'll never become strong...
Wh Why...?
All my barrages were solid. Yet this guy...
doesn't seem to have sustained any damage.
If you keep on fooling around playing Ninja with your friends,
you're just gonna continue to rot.
Come with us.
If you do, Master Orochimaru will empower you.
There's no meaning if we take you by force, he said.
You decide.
Gimme a break...
Master Orochimaru sure sent me on a bothersome mission.
Hey! What did you decide?
Are you coming?
Or are you not coming?!
Decide already!
When a weakling like you lags,
it makes me wanna just finish you!
Try me...!
You... those Curse Marks...
Don't be so sure that
you're the only favorite of Master Orochimaru.
One shouldn't use Curse Marks that lightly.
Or rather... it looks like you're not even able to control the Curse Marks.
If they continue to be released for a long period of time,
Curse Marks will progressively eat your body.
It looks like you're still at first state,
so the speed at which they will eat away at you is still fairly slow.
But when they have entirely eaten you,
you will lose yourself.
Forever.
In exchange for having been empowered by Curse Marks,
you will be tethered by Master Orochimaru.
We no longer have anything like freedom.
In order to receive something, one must discard something.
What is your objective?
Are you and your comrades just going to comfort each other
in this lukewarm village...
then simply forget all about...
Itachi Uchiha?
Don't forget your objective.
This kind of village does nothing more than shackle you!
Cut your stupid ties with this place.
If you do that, you'II...
be able to obtain much, more fabulous power.
Don't forget your objective!
Thanks!
H-Hey Sakura.
I'll walk you home!
Huh? Don't worry about it.
Why, why? The streets are dangerous at night!
They're well lit, so I'll be fine...
Sakura?
Thanks, Naruto.
But I want to go home alone tonight.
I see...
I'll be fine!
Yeah!
Why are you hanging around in a place like this in the middle of the night?
One has to pass down this road to leave the village
Go home and sleep.
Why...
Why won't you tell me anything?
Why are you always silent like that?
You won't tell me one single thing.
Why should I have to tell you anything?!
I'm telling you to keep your nose out of my business.
Stop bothering me over everything I do.
I... make you dislike me all the time, don't I?
Do you remember?
We just became Genin and the Three-Man Squads were assigned...
You and I were alone for the first time, here at this very spot.
You got mad at me.
See! That guy doesn't have parents, right?
He's all alone and he doesn't have to deal with parents lecturing him...
That's why he can sometimes be selfish!
Solitude...
Huh?
Isn't the same as being scolded by one's parents.
What's the matter all of a sudden...
You...are annoying...
I don't remember that.
Yeah, I guess... that was long ago, after all...
But it all began that day.
Sasuke and me...
And also Naruto and Kakashi Sensei...
The four of us went on various missions, didn't we?
Those were tough and difficult times, but...
But...
more than anything...
it was so much fun!
I know about your family, Sasuke...
But revenge...
that won't bring anyone happiness.
No one...
Neither you...
nor I.
As I expected...
I'm different from you guys...
I'm walking a road that's incompatible with the rest of you.
The four of us worked together...
and it's true that there was a time when I thought that was my road.
The four of us have worked together,
but in the end, I decided on revenge.
That's been my reason for living.
I can't become like you and Naruto.
Are you going to isolate yourself again, Sasuke?!
You taught me that solitude is a very rough thing that time, Sasuke!
Now I know exactly how that feels.
I have both family and friends...
But if you were no longer here, Sasuke...
for me...
for me it would be the same as solitude.
From here again...
we're going to start walking our new paths individually.
I...!
I love you so very, very much, Sasuke!
If you would only be with me, Sasuke,
I won't let you regret it, no matter what!
I'll make it fun every day and you will definitely find happiness!
I'll do anything for you, Sasuke!
So... I'm begging you, please stay here!
I'll even help you with your revenge!
I'll make it happen somehow, I promise you...!
So stay here... with me...!
If that doesn't work for you...
Then take me with you...
You really are... annoying.
Don't g
If you go, I'll scream and...
Sakura...
Thank you...
Sasuke...
We were waiting for you, Master Sasuke.
What's your intention?
It was already decided that you would be our leader
the moment you exited the village
Please forgive our rudeness up to now.
I don't care about any of that.
Let's go.
This is the beginning!
Once in a long while, once in a while
The remnants of a person broken by dreams
Look like a mountain
Clinging to the Divine, clinging to Buddha
The remnants of a person crying
Look like a mountain
Rendezvous with a happy dance circle
This is my victory pose, round and around (round around)
Shake shake shake Let's look
With a bye bye rhythm that never ends
Look like a mountain
What? That jerk Sasuke.
What the heck is he thinking? He has such a twisted personality!
What is it that he disliked so much that he'd do something like this?!
Damn! I'm not about to let that guy do whatever he wants!
If things come to this, I'll chase him down to the end of the world.
I'll drag that guy back even if I have to grab him by his neck!
Next time: "Formation! The Sasuke Retrieval Squad!"
