Raikage: One down...
SFX: glare...

Raikage: You and your Sharingan are nothing to me!

Shii: Raikage-sama's reflexes are on the same level as the late Yellow Flash...I'm impressed those three can even keep up.
But now that his body's surrounded in lightning chakra, even the Sharingan will lose sight of him...
But they're still...

Page 8:
SFX: BAM

Naruto: Bullshit!
No way in hell!

Yamato: That...can't be...

Madara: We couldn't discuss Sasuke without first discussing Itachi.
Kakashi: Very funny, but I don't believe a word of it.
Madara: Oh, it's no lie.

THAT is the truth behind Itachi's life.
He died to protect Sasuke, and the Leaf Village.

SFX: chichi

Page 9:
Kakashi: But why?!
Even if it WERE true, how could Sasuke join Akatsuki after hearing all that?!
He would come back to the village...he'd want to carry out Itachi's wishes.

Madara: Bah...you two think you understand Sasuke because you were his teacher and his friend back when he was a boy...
You have no idea.

He's the real deal...
A true avenger!

Naruto: Yeah, and I'll bet YOU did it to him!

Madara: I'm afraid not...

Page 10:
Madara: Sasuke chose his OWN path.

Naruto: You're LYING!

Madara: I admit that I took a risk...
He could've taken up Itachi's mantle, or taken his revenge on the Leaf.
He chose the latter.
All it means is that deep down, he was always like US.

Now, Sasuke's goal
is revenge on the village that threw the Uchiha Clan, and Itachi, to the wolves.

Page 11:
Naruto: Why...
Why would he...

How did this happen?!
Why did he choose revenge?!

Madara: It was fate...the Uchiha clan's bloodstained destiny to be consumed with hate.
The curse that has plagued our clan since its inception.

Naruto: Bloodstained destiny...
...a curse?

Madara: Yes...
A curse born from the Sage of the Six Paths, the founder of the ninja world.

Kakashi: The Sage of the Six Paths...
But he's just a myth...
The Rinnegan is nothing more than a genetic mutation...

Page 12:
Madara: All myths grow from the seed of reality.
The Sage started a religion, the Church of "Nin," hoping to guide mankind to a peaceful future...
But he left this world before his dream was realized.

He entrusted the responsibility of preaching the word of Nin to his two sons.

The elder was born with the Sage's "eyes" and was blessed with his strength and spiritual energy.
He believed that power and might were the keys to peace.

The younder was born with the Sage's "body" and was blessed with his longevity and stamina...
He believed that love and understanding were the keys to peace.

Finally, on his deathbed, the Sage had to chose one of them to be the new leader...
And his decision cast an eternal curse of hatred upon us all.

Naruto: What're you getting at?

Page 13:
Madara: The Sage ignored the elder brother who believed in might,
and chose the younger, who believed in love, to succeed him.

The elder brother assumed that he would automatically be selected,
and in his fury, attacked his younger brother.

Time passed, and while their blood thinned throughout the generations, their descendants continued to clash.

The elder brother's line became known as the Uchiha,

and the younger's became known as the Senju.

The battle between myself, Uchiha Madara, and the First Hokage Senju Hashirama
was also our destiny.

Page 14:
Madara: This is only the second time you and I have met,

but it's clear to me that the Senju's will of fire burns inside your soul.

I see the First Hokage in your eyes.
His will is stronger in death than it ever was in life.
He was my idol...and my rival.

The man I hated more than anyone else in this world.

The Senju and the Uchiha,
the will of fire and hatred,
Naruto and Sasuke...

Page 17:
Madara: Sasuke has taken the full burden of our clan's hatred,
and intends to afflict the entire world with its curse.

SFX: BZZZZZRT

Madara: His hate is his strongest weapon...his best friend...
His greatest power!

THAT is Sasuke's ninja way!
