Sasuke crosses the water with a boat and sits down on a rock at the beach. He feels like he couldn't take another step. He remembers Tobi's words about Itachi. He keeps sitting there. Juugo arrives on the 3rd day. Juugo says the others are coming soon. Sasuke remembers Itachi some more. The others arrive; Suigetsu, Karin and Tobi. Sasuke tells them they're no longer called Hebi but are now called Taka ("hawk"). The villagers in Howling Wolf Village live in peace, knowing nothing of Reishi's pain. Konoha's villagers live in peace, knowing nothing of Itachi's pain. His eyes stir. "Taka has only one goal… We will --- crush Konoha."
[direct translation]
Nii-san, I'll try to surpass you.
Even if I am wrong.
Even if I will have to walk alone on this blood-stained road.
Without begging for mercy to anyone, I'll burn in Hell's fire while laughing.
That is --- my path.
[--- THE END ---]
