Naruto Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝)

Not here.

This one's empty too.

He's not in this one either.

-Come on, where the hell are you?

We've come come so far.

After all this time--

Where are you?

Where are you?

Sasuke!

Sakura.

Sasuke-- it's you.

S-Sasuke.

Naruto.

-What makes you think you know about it, anyway?

You never had a family to begin with!

You were on your own right from the beginning!

What makes you think you know anything about it, huh?

I'm suffering now because I had those ties.

How on Earth could you possibly understand

what it feels like to lose all that?

It's true, I have no idea

what it's like having parents or a brother.

If that's how you felt--

Why, Naruto?

Why would you come so far for me?

-Because this is the first time I've ever had a bond like this.

-That's why I'll do anything I can to stop you!

If everything you've said was true, then why?

-If that's how it is, I'll just have to sever that bond.

-Why didn't you kill me that day?

Weren't you gonna break our bond, Sasuke?

The reason is simple.

It's not that I couldn't break it, Naruto.

-Like me, you may be one of the few

who can use Mangekyo Sharingan, but there is a catch.

Take the life of your best friend.

You must kill him.

-I just couldn't stand the idea of obtaining power

by following in his footsteps.

I spared your life on a whim, nothing more.

How did you do that?

-You know, come to think of it, wasn't it always

your dream to become Hokage someday?

All of the time you spent chasing after me would've

been better spent in training.

Wouldn't you agree, Naruto?

But this time, my whim is telling

me to finish what I started.

-How could I ever be Hokage if I can't even save one friend?

Isn't that right, Sasuke?

Sasuke!

Hmph.

Naruto.

Come, you know what you have to do.

Give him a glimpse of our power.

Aw, what's the matter?

Why do you hesitate?

You need my power, don't you?

Now then-- who do you want to kill?

You understand by now, don't you?

Without me, you couldn't do anything at all.

Now do it.

Break the seal completely.

If you do, I'll grant you all of my power.

How did you?

I can see everything.

So this is where all that power's coming from.

Interesting.

I never would've guessed you had this inside of you.

I see.

You're one of the Uchiha.

You've advanced well beyond your years, haven't you?

That you can even see me inside of Naruto is impressive.

It's that repugnant Sharingan, the true power

behind your cursed clan.

-I take it this isn't your first time seeing the Sharingan.

So, you're the Nine-Tails, huh?

-With that vision of yours and a chakra

more ominous than my own, you're the spitting image

of Madara Uchiha from the elder days.

Never heard of him.

Am I supposed to care?

[MUSIC - NOBODYKNOWS+, "HERO'S COME BACK"]

Did you find it?

All clear over here.

Target acquired!

Oh no, it's heading for the village.

No way it's getting away.

Hmm?

Aah!

Oh.

Uh?

What the-- where did you go?

That way!

That's my laundry!

Hey!

Yaa--- whoops.

What are you doing?

Excuse us!

Wow!

Sorry about that.

I'm making a quick delivery run.

Whoa!

Out of the way!

Huh?

Aah!

Oh!

Sorry, pops!

Naruto, you little--

Heh heh heh.

Oh, right.

I mean-- Konohamaru!

-Hey, Konohamaru, we've got the target in a corner.

Hurry up.

Uh, it's gonna get away!

No problem!

Aah!

Stupid little--

(IN UNISON) Konohamaru!

Got the little rascal.

Heh heh heh.

A ribbon on the right ear.

No doubt about it, you guys.

-Ebisu-sensei, the target has been acquired.

We have Tora in custody.

-Heh heh, looks like another mission complete.

Oh, thank goodness.

My precious little Tora dear.

I was worried to death about you.

Where have you been, you naughty kitty?

-If that old windbag were my master,

I'd probably run for the hills too.

Quiet, Konohamaru.

All right, here is your fee.

Come along, schnookums.

Time to go home.

-It was a simple case of a lost cat.

Do you know how long you've been out there?

-Yeah, but sensei, that cat was faster than lightning.

-It was almost like it had run off before.

I don't want to hear it.

A mission of this delicate nature

requires speed and precision, which you three are sorely

lacking in.

You need more training.

-Well, how do you expect me to push my limits

on a lamewad mission like this one?

Hey, Iruka-sensei, don't you have anything flashier for me?

Uh, look, it's not that simple.

Listen carefully.

You three screwups only just make genin level.

No one's going to assign you to high rank missions right out

of the gate.

-All you'll be getting is D-rank for now.

Pfft.

I'm not taking no for an answer.

After all, you're looking at the Seventh Hokage.

The Seventh?

What about the Sixth Hokage?

That spot's taken.

Naruto's gonna get it.

Huh?

Yeah, speaking of Naruto--

-I wonder where he even is right now.

-I bet when he comes back, he'll have become an awesome shinobi.

I believe in him 100%.

-Seventh Hokage, perhaps, but definitely a second Naruto.

I hope you're doing OK out there, Naruto.

I don't care what it takes!

I'll get stronger and bring Sasuke back!
