    Lost Bonds
    
    
[01:44] ---
    Don't all those things we did
    together in Squad 7
[01:47] ---
    mean anything to you?!
[01:54] ---
    No… It wasn't meaningless.
[01:58] ---
    To me, you became…
[02:02] ---
    my closest friend.
[02:05] ---
    I became your friend?
[02:06] ---
    Then why?
[02:08] ---
    That's precisely why.
[02:11] ---
    That's precisely why…
[02:13] ---
    you're worth killing.
[02:21] ---
    You're finally awake?
[02:26] ---
    A dream?
[02:29] ---
    Where am I?
[02:30] ---
    You lost consciousness.
[02:32] ---
    You really had us worried.
[02:39] ---
    Where are Kakashi Sensei and Sai?
[02:46] ---
    I see.
[02:52] ---
    Why?
[02:57] ---
    Why did it turn out like this?
[03:01] ---
    Naruto…
[03:03] ---
    You should rest a bit longer.
[03:05] ---
    Come on.
[03:14] ---
    Sasuke…you're…
[03:22] ---
    Did you hear?
    Everyone in the Uchiha Clan got killed.
[03:28] ---
    Yeah, I know.
    I heard my dad talking about it.
[03:31] ---
    He's the only one who survived.
[03:35] ---
    I was sorta glad back then.
[03:38] ---
    I wasn't the only one
    who was alone anymore.
[03:43] ---
    But Sasuke was good
    at everything he did.
[03:48] ---
    Good job, Sasuke!
[03:49] ---
    Just what I'd expect from Sasuke!
[03:51] ---
    He's so cool!
[03:53] ---
    He's showing off!
    I can do that too!
[03:58] ---
    He was so different from me.
[04:00] ---
    Go!
[04:04] ---
    That's why I picked him
    to be my rival,
[04:07] ---
    because I wanted to
    become like him.
[04:18] ---
    Even though we were both on Squad 7,
[04:21] ---
    Sasuke was always
    one step ahead of me.
[04:26] ---
    The reason why I trained so hard
    was because
[04:29] ---
    I wanted to catch up to him,
    even just a little.
[04:43] ---
    "Am I strong?"
    All I want is the answer to that.
[04:47] ---
    I just wanted to fight the strong ones.
[04:50] ---
    And they are all right here.
[04:54] ---
    Naruto… I want to fight you too.
[04:59] ---
    I was really happy.
[05:01] ---
    It was the first time Sasuke
    acknowledged me as an equal.
[05:06] ---
    First off, let's have you guys
    introduce yourselves.
[05:10] ---
    But he…
[05:12] ---
    My name's Sasuke Uchiha.
[05:14] ---
    I have lots of dislikes,
    but no likes in particular.
[05:19] ---
    And I don't feel like summing up
    my ambition as just a dream,
[05:23] ---
    but I do have an ambition.
[05:24] ---
    The ambition to restore my clan and
[05:26] ---
    to kill a certain man
    without fail!
[05:33] ---
    It's been a long time…Sasuke.
[05:36] ---
    Itachi Uchiha…
[05:40] ---
    I will kill you!
[05:43] ---
    This is the guy
    Sasuke talked about,
[05:45] ---
    the man he wants to kill?
[05:49] ---
    It's just as you said…
[05:51] ---
    I've hated you…
    and resented you.
[05:54] ---
    For the singular purpose
    of killing you, I…
[06:02] ---
    I…
[06:05] ---
    have lived my life!
[06:07] ---
    You decided to live for revenge.
[06:13] ---
    My classified mission was indeed
    the assassination of Sasuke.
[06:20] ---
    But I've had enough of orders.
[06:22] ---
    I now want to act
    on my own beliefs.
[06:25] ---
    I think Naruto will get me
    to remember…
[06:29] ---
    my past emotions.
[06:33] ---
    I don't know you very well.
[06:35] ---
    But there must be
    some kind of reason
[06:37] ---
    Naruto and Sakura have pursued
    you so desperately.
[06:42] ---
    They don't want to sever
    their bonds with you.
[06:44] ---
    They're giving it their all
    to secure those bonds.
[06:48] ---
    I still don't understand it
    all that clearly.
[06:51] ---
    But Sasuke, you should understand.
[06:57] ---
    Yeah, I did understand.
[06:59] ---
    That's why I severed the bonds.
    I have a different bond.
[07:05] ---
    A bond of hatred with
    my older brother.
[07:21] ---
    What about the bond
    between Sasuke and me?
[07:31] ---
    Hurry up!
[07:32] ---
    Before that, put your headband on.
    I'll wait.
[07:36] ---
    I don't need that thing.
[07:38] ---
    Just do it!
[07:40] ---
    You won't even be able to put
    a scratch on my forehead!
[07:44] ---
    That's not it!
[07:45] ---
    I'm saying this is a testament
[07:47] ---
    to fighting on equal terms
    as Leaf Ninja.
[07:50] ---
    And I'm saying you're acting
    high and mighty!
[07:53] ---
    Do you really think that we're equals?!
[07:56] ---
    Yeah, I do!
[07:57] ---
    I've never once thought that
    I was inferior to you!
[08:01] ---
    You're an embarrassment!
[08:03] ---
    That's because you're still weak,
    Little Sasuke!
[08:07] ---
    Naruto!
[08:09] ---
    Sasuke!
[08:10] ---
    Stop it, both of you.
[08:16] ---
    Stop it!
[08:22] ---
    Stop it, both of you!
[08:25] ---
    Damn!
[08:26] ---
    I can't stop completely!
[08:35] ---
    Lord Orochimaru has already
    acquired the Immortality Jutsu.
[08:40] ---
    "Immortal" doesn't mean that
    his flesh can maintain itself forever.
[08:45] ---
    Before his body decays,
[08:47] ---
    a strong, new body must be made
    into a vessel for his soul.
[08:51] ---
    That's…
[08:52] ---
    Are you saying that's Sasuke?!
[08:55] ---
    Yes… That's right.
[08:57] ---
    I won't let that happen!
[09:01] ---
    When Sasuke abandoned the village,
[09:04] ---
    I really believed
    I could bring him back.
[09:07] ---
    But…
[09:10] ---
    Have you snapped out of it yet?
[09:13] ---
    You have no siblings or parents.
[09:16] ---
    How could you understand
    anything about me?!
[09:19] ---
    You've been on your own
    since the beginning!
[09:21] ---
    What makes you think
    you know anything about me?
[09:26] ---
    Having that bond is
    what makes it painful!
[09:29] ---
    And how could you know
[09:31] ---
    what it feels like
    to lose that bond?!
[09:37] ---
    In the end,
    I didn't understand Sasuke at all.
[09:42] ---
    I just thought I knew him.
[09:45] ---
    Why?
[09:47] ---
    Why would you go
    so far for me?
[09:52] ---
    Because this is the first bond
    that I've ever had!
[09:56] ---
    That's why I'm gonna stop you.
[10:32] ---
    I admit it, you're strong.
[10:38] ---
    It's because you know the pain
    that solitude brings,
[10:42] ---
    just as I do.
[10:46] ---
    And it's that pain that
    makes people stronger.
[10:50] ---
    And for that very reason,
    if I break that bond,
[10:54] ---
    I'll be able to achieve
    even greater strength.
[11:11] ---
    Did you know that this place
    is called the Final Valley?
[11:17] ---
    Don't you think this is
    a perfect stage for us, Naruto?
[11:21] ---
    You…
[11:23] ---
    So let's bring this fight
    to a close soon!
[12:10] ---
    How are you feeling?
[12:11] ---
    I had them make some porridge.
[12:14] ---
    Eat it and restore your strength.
[12:18] ---
    I…was dreaming about Sasuke.
[12:23] ---
    You're going back to
    the village with me.
[12:27] ---
    They're Kakashi's orders.
[12:38] ---
    I'm sorry, but you just have to
    let Kakashi handle Sasuke.
[12:42] ---
    Got it?
[12:46] ---
    Fine.
[12:48] ---
    Let me rest some more,
    then we can head back to the village.
[12:53] ---
    You should eat a little
    to restore your strength.
[12:59] ---
    I don't have an appetite.
[13:13] ---
    Sasuke said he was going to sever
    his bond with me
[13:17] ---
    and become stronger.
[13:19] ---
    He said I could never
    understand his feelings.
[13:26] ---
    You were friends with Orochimaru
    long ago, right, Pervy Sage?
[13:30] ---
    Why did Orochimaru desert the village
[13:33] ---
    and decide to destroy
    the Hidden Leaf?
[13:36] ---
    Orochimaru changed after
    his parents were killed.
[13:41] ---
    He became obsessed
    with Forbidden Jutsu.
[13:46] ---
    Maybe he longed to see his parents,
[13:49] ---
    or he sought revenge
    on the Leaf Village,
[13:50] ---
    who he held responsible
    for their deaths.
[13:54] ---
    My parents weren't killed.
[13:58] ---
    So like you, I was accused of
    not being able to understand.
[14:04] ---
    Perhaps he was right,
[14:06] ---
     I didn't understand
    a thing about him.
[14:14] ---
    However…
[14:16] ---
    even I can see there's too much
    hate in our Ninja World.
[14:22] ---
    Hate?
[14:24] ---
    And I've wanted to do
    something about this hatred,
[14:28] ---
    but I'm not sure what
    must be done.
[14:31] ---
    But I have faith that
[14:33] ---
    there will come a time
[14:36] ---
    when people can truly
    understand one another.
[14:43] ---
    To me, Pervy Sage was irreplaceable.
    He was family.
[14:57] ---
    That's why…
[15:00] ---
    Jiraiya-boy has died in battle.
[15:05] ---
    When I heard that Pervy Sage died,
[15:09] ---
    I understood what Sasuke was
    talking about for the very first time.
[15:14] ---
    About the pain of losing a bond.
[15:40] ---
    Naruto, let's go soon.
    Are you still not ready?
[15:44] ---
    I don't feel like going outside yet.
[15:48] ---
    Can you wait a bit longer?
[15:50] ---
    All right. He still hasn't caught on
    that I'm a Shadow Clone.
[16:13] ---
    Have you come to understand
    a little of what pain is?
[16:16] ---
    Unless you know the same pain,
    you cannot truly know another.
[16:21] ---
    And even if you get to know others,
    there can be no understanding.
[16:27] ---
    That is the truth.
[16:31] ---
    Just like how it's useless
    to chase after Sasuke.
[16:34] ---
    People change…
[16:36] ---
    Sasuke isn't the old Sasuke anymore.
[16:41] ---
    Sasuke chose this himself.
[16:45] ---
    You must forget about Sasuke.
[16:50] ---
    If you are a ninja, become wiser.
[16:55] ---
    Fools cannot survive in our world.
    That is the reality.
[17:01] ---
    If being smart means
    what you say,
[17:03] ---
    I'll remain a fool for
    the rest of my life.
[17:07] ---
    Pervy Sage, I'm a big fool after all.
[17:13] ---
    Kakashi Sensei's chakra…
[17:16] ---
    This way!
[17:17] ---
    Sakura, don't do anything reckless.
[17:20] ---
    This is just an assumption
    on my part.
[17:24] ---
    But I believe Sakura…
[17:28] ---
    She intends to kill Sasuke herself.
[17:36] ---
    Sasuke has shouldered
    the entire burden of the Uchiha's hatred
[17:40] ---
    and intends to strike
    the world with that curse.
[17:44] ---
    It is the most powerful weapon.
[17:47] ---
    It's his friend and source of power,
    this thing called hatred.
[17:53] ---
    And it is Sasuke's Ninja Way!
[18:02] ---
    Did you know, Naruto?
[18:05] ---
    When two shinobi are of
    a high enough level,
[18:07] ---
    they are able to read
    each other's thoughts,
[18:09] ---
    simply by an exchange of fists.
[18:12] ---
    Without ever uttering
    a single word.
[18:15] ---
    You're naïve, Naruto.
[18:18] ---
    Tell me, could you read…
[18:22] ---
    my true feelings?
[18:28] ---
    Sasuke… Right now…
[18:31] ---
    I understand how you feel as
    someone who has lost a bond.
[18:40] ---
    *You said earlier you consider
    Sasuke to be like a brother.
[18:45] ---
    What if Sasuke were to attack
    the Leaf Village?
[18:49] ---
    What would you do then?
[18:51] ---
    What? Why would Sasuke…?
[18:54] ---
    There's no way he'd do
    something like that!
[18:57] ---
    Sasuke is still naïve.
    He can easily be dyed any color.
[19:02] ---
    Would you be able to stop him?
[19:08] ---
    Even if you had to kill Sasuke?
[19:12] ---
    Could you weigh Sasuke
    against the Leaf Village
[19:15] ---
    on a set of scales?
[19:16] ---
    I would defend the Leaf Village!
[19:18] ---
    But I would also stop Sasuke
    without killing him!
[19:22] ---
    You're such a child.
[19:23] ---
    What you speak of are
    all fantasies.
[19:26] ---
    A ninja must sometimes
    make very harsh decisions.
[19:32] ---
    The Akatsuki will be branded
    as wanted fugitives.
[19:34] ---
    Then, not only I,
[19:36] ---
    but the whole world will
    hunt Sasuke down.
[19:40] ---
    Yet you bow your head
    for this criminal
[19:42] ---
    and plead for mercy for your friend.
[19:45] ---
    In the ninja world,
    that is not friendship!
[19:49] ---
    If you are prepared to bear
    the burden of being a Kage,
[19:52] ---
    then do what is right
    as Sasuke's friend.
[20:02] ---
    I don't know what
    the right thing to do is.
[20:05] ---
    However…
[20:07] ---
    Boy from the Hidden Leaf,
    think hard on what you must do!
[20:11] ---
    The ninja world does not indulge fools!
[20:17] ---
    I consider you my friend.
[20:22] ---
    In the past, "friend" was
    merely a word to me.
[20:26] ---
    Nothing more, nothing less.
[20:30] ---
    But after meeting you,
    you made me realize
[20:34] ---
    that the meaning of that word
    is what's important.
[20:38] ---
    What does it mean?
[20:42] ---
    What can you do for Sasuke?
    Think hard about that.
[20:52] ---
    Sasuke…
[20:54] ---
    If I see you…
[20:56] ---
    If we meet, I think
    I'll know the answer.
[22:37] ---
    Sakura, you don't have to shoulder
    that burden yourself.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    It was my cowardice that
    split all of you up.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    I must have been trying to
    convince myself
    
    
[22:49] ---
    that it could be like
    the old days again.
    
    
[22:55] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Burden"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    I'm sorry I was such
    a careless teacher.
