[00:37] ---
    Naruto…
[00:41] ---
    Sometimes your eyes
    are better than mine.
[00:46] ---
    Sasuke is in the darkness
    right now…
[00:51] ---
    Go…
[00:53] ---
    You're the only one
    who can save him.
[00:58] ---
    Yeah…
[01:00] ---
    I know.
[02:33] ---
    The Final Battle
    
    
[03:01] ---
    My explanation of
    what it means to be Hokage
[03:03] ---
    represents my response.
[03:05] ---
    The way Itachi lived
    led me to this answer.
[03:09] ---
    To protect the Land of Fire
    and the Leaf Village,
[03:13] ---
    he sacrificed both
    his clan and himself.
[03:16] ---
    First, I needed to know why.
[03:19] ---
    What is this Land and Village
    that he would go so far to protect?
[03:24] ---
    The previous Hokage said…
[03:27] ---
    …that the village is a framework
[03:30] ---
    created to stop the slaughter
    of clans and children…
[03:34] ---
    …a framework that was
    supposed to lead to peace.
[03:37] ---
    Itachi tried to sustain
    that peace all by himself.
[03:41] ---
    That's when I finally understood…
[03:44] ---
    Suffering bitter experiences,
    living in darkness
[03:46] ---
    as a criminal and traitor
    against Land and Village…
[03:50] ---
    He was a shinobi
    who took on all hatred
[03:52] ---
    and protected the Land of Fire and
    the Leaf Village from the shadows.
[03:56] ---
    I feel he was the true Hokage.
[04:03] ---
    It's not the one who is
    acknowledged by all…
[04:06] ---
    …but the one who
    accepts all the hatred
[04:09] ---
    that is worthy of that title.
[04:11] ---
    I eventually came to understand
    Itachi's feelings
[04:15] ---
    for his Land and Village.
[04:18] ---
    My big brother failed
    in just one aspect.
[04:20] ---
    He let me,
    his little brother, live.
[04:22] ---
    Unable to hide the truth from me,
[04:25] ---
    he allowed the hatred
    to disseminate.
[04:31] ---
    However… I'm not like
    my Big Brother anymore.
[04:35] ---
    I have no father, mother, brother…
[04:37] ---
    not even a single member
    of my clan.
[04:42] ---
    I am all alone.
[04:47] ---
    I alone can bear the weight
    of all the hatred now.
[04:52] ---
    And I alone will deal
    with everything personally.
[04:55] ---
    I will handle all of
    the shinobi's problems.
[04:59] ---
    I will also dispense
    all judgment and punishment.
[05:04] ---
    I'll concentrate
    all hatred upon myself…
[05:07] ---
    …and bring together every
    single village under my control.
[05:11] ---
    Hatred inside darkness
    cannot be eliminated.
[05:15] ---
    In which case, I'd rather…
[05:23] ---
    That's right…
    What the Hokage is to me…
[05:26] ---
    …is someone who will sear away
    the darkness of all Five Villages
[05:28] ---
    with only his own flame.
[05:30] ---
    And then keeps living
    by eating the ashes.
[05:33] ---
    And you think everyone will just
    sit back and say "yes" to that?
[05:38] ---
    I told you already…
[05:40] ---
    I don't care what you
    or anyone else thinks.
[05:44] ---
    Besides, I have the power now
    to control it all.
[05:47] ---
    You don't have a clue
    about how Itachi lived!
[05:52] ---
    There are things
    you can't do alone!
[05:54] ---
    Just like our battle with Kaguya!
[06:00] ---
    But things don't always go well…
[06:02] ---
    Like with these two stone statues
[06:06] ---
    And us two brothers…
[06:10] ---
    With revolution…
[06:12] ---
    …the villages will no longer
    have to bear darkness.
[06:15] ---
    And I alone
    will become the darkness.
[06:17] ---
    I'll dispose of the deep darkness
    of the past,
[06:21] ---
    and build a pure white future
    from scratch.
[06:24] ---
    You mean by killing
    the Tailed Beasts,
[06:27] ---
    and the Five Kage?!
[06:29] ---
    Exactly.
[06:31] ---
    I'm casting off the past.
[06:35] ---
    You're saying you can pretend
    nothing ever happened with Itachi?
[06:40] ---
    You and Itachi were brothers,
    and a lot happened between you…
[06:44] ---
    That's what made you
    who you are today!
[06:46] ---
    Itachi is now in my past.
[06:50] ---
    I'm cutting all past mistakes and
    doubts here, and starting anew.
[06:55] ---
    Beginning by cutting you down.
[06:58] ---
    Yours will be
    the last blood I shed,
[07:01] ---
    in the memory of my late brother.
[07:08] ---
    I won't…let you kill me.
[07:11] ---
    I learned everything I know
    from the people of my past!
[07:16] ---
    Especially about how to figure out
    what to do after making a mistake.
[07:21] ---
    You said you consider
    Sasuke a brother.
[07:24] ---
    That's why, Naruto,
[07:26] ---
    I believe you are the only one
    who can stop Sasuke.
[07:30] ---
    I'm leaving Sasuke to you.
[07:33] ---
    That's why…
[07:35] ---
    I won't let you kill me.
[07:47] ---
    Lord Sage!
[07:49] ---
    It seems it's almost time.
[07:52] ---
    What…
[07:54] ---
    What should I be doing?
[07:56] ---
    Just continue to have faith.
[07:59] ---
    Right now, that is all we can do.
[08:14] ---
    What you do and what transpires,
    will be up to the two of you.
[08:19] ---
    Sasuke and I aren't real brothers,
[08:23] ---
    but I think we can make peace
    with each other.
[08:26] ---
    Now that Itachi's gone,
[08:27] ---
    I feel like I'm finally,
    truly alone.
[08:30] ---
    But with Naruto,
[08:32] ---
    he's the one person
    I have to cut down.
[08:36] ---
    My version of the Hokage
    can only come to be
[08:38] ---
    by severing all bonds
    and being alone.
[08:41] ---
    Why?
[08:43] ---
    Because…
[08:44] ---
    Because to me…
[08:46] ---
    …we're really good friends.
[08:48] ---
    …he is still my closest friend.
[08:57] ---
    Naruto… Sasuke…
    Show me your answer…
[09:04] ---
    Show me the answer for all shinobi!
[11:17] ---
    Inferno Style: Honoikazuchi!
[11:58] ---
    His left eye is…
[14:42] ---
    How the hell do you think
    you understand?
[14:45] ---
    You've been alone from the start!
[14:47] ---
    It's because I have these ties,
    that I feel this agony.
[14:50] ---
    How could you possibly understand
[14:52] ---
    what it feels like
    to lose all that?!
[15:27] ---
    What's the matter?
[15:29] ---
    Are you just going to play defense?
[16:39] ---
    If you keep stalling, you'll die.
[16:46] ---
    I don't wanna kill you!
[16:49] ---
    To me, you've become
    my closest friend.
[16:54] ---
    You're trying to be alone again
    and I can't let that happen!
[17:01] ---
    Especially since we both know
    what that's like…
[17:04] ---
    That's why I can't let you…
[17:17] ---
    …go there…
[17:18] ---
    …intentionally!
[17:57] ---
    Quit yapping.
[17:59] ---
    We're both different from
[18:00] ---
    the two boys who
    fought here long ago…
[18:05] ---
    I know your heart…
[18:08] ---
    …and you, mine…
[18:11] ---
    But you still wanna fight me?
[18:14] ---
    All the more, because it's you.
[18:17] ---
    I have to cut you out of my life.
[18:20] ---
    There's no guarantee that the world
[18:23] ---
    you'll rebuild
    after severing the past…
[18:25] ---
    …won't end up just like this one,
    you know.
[18:29] ---
    That's exactly why I'll continue
    to watch over that world…
[18:33] ---
    So it doesn't.
[18:35] ---
    You're missing the point!
[18:37] ---
    The Five Villages
    are finally united!
[18:41] ---
    Yeah… But that's only because
    they found a common enemy.
[18:47] ---
    To defeat the Akatsuki, Madara,
    and Kaguya…
[18:52] ---
    the Five Villages had no choice
    but to discard their grudges
[18:54] ---
    and form an alliance
    in order to survive.
[18:58] ---
    But their mutual foes are now gone.
[19:01] ---
    Eventually, conflicts between
    each village will begin again.
[19:05] ---
    So this time,
    you're gonna become the enemy?
[19:09] ---
    And? What'll happen
    after you're gone?
[19:15] ---
    Finally,
[19:17] ---
    all the dots have connected
    and formed a straight line.
[19:20] ---
    I started with the Sharingan
[19:22] ---
    and now, I possess
    the power of the Rinnegan.
[19:24] ---
    Reincarnation, immortality…
    I have many options.
[19:29] ---
    I'll also be able to control things
    from the shadows,
[19:32] ---
    instead of through battle.
[19:34] ---
    You're planning to
    return to that hell,
[19:37] ---
    for the rest of your life,
    or rather for all eternity?
[19:40] ---
    While being hated by all?
[19:45] ---
    To me,
    that's what a Hokage ought to be.
[20:00] ---
    That's not even
    close enough to kill me.
[20:03] ---
    I told you!
    I'm not trying to kill you!
[20:07] ---
    I'm—!
[20:08] ---
    Enough.
[20:46] ---
    I'm the strongest in
    this world right now.
[20:50] ---
    So right now, right here…
[20:52] ---
    will be my first step
    into the shadows.
[22:42] ---
    I can feel it,
    
    
[22:43] ---
    how did he gain so much
    Nature Energy so suddenly?
    
    
[22:46] ---
    You finally decided to kill me, huh?
    
    
[22:48] ---
    We've taken on
    a lot of responsibilities
    
    
[22:50] ---
    upon our shoulders…
    
    
[22:52] ---
    But you see, I wanna fight,
    
    
[22:55] ---
    and win against you
    fair and square!
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    Naruto and Sasuke
    
    
    
[23:02] ---
    …but not against the current you!

[23:08] ---
