[last words] You! You're just a piece of the Shinobi history I created and nothing more! A useless brat like you could never-!
Shinobi history is made up of all sorts of Ninja's lives, and deaths too. Many of them taught me what it means to be a shinobi. The pain and sadness of death, the tragedy of war, and not only that, they taught me the joy of being accepted and being loved. The way they lived and the way they died, they made me who I am today. They taught me and they trusted in me. You're a brat who can't even fly from the nest! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF! [permanently seals Black Zetsu]
It's still growing even bigger. It's starting to look like our moon.
Sealing complete! And now it's happily ever after! The end!
Sakura
You're right, great news! The first thing that I want to do is take a hot bath to wash off this sweat and grime. Aah! Wait a second! What about us?! How are we supposed to get out of this time-space?!
I suppose so. But before that, I'm executing the current five Kage inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
What did you just say, Sasuke?! What about the five Kage?
And you Tailed Beasts, I'm putting all of you under my control and eventually I'll get rid of you as well.
[Sasuke uses his Rinnegan on them]
He put the Tailed Beasts under a genjutsu, and with just a single glance too. Naruto, it's ended up as I feared. I've no choice but to trust you to handle this. I can't stay in this world any longer. I shall soon fade away.
Yeah, and I'll apologize for this too, Six Paths super gramps, but it ain't gonna go like it did with your kids. Because I'm not Ashura. And Sasuke isn't Indra either.
Sasuke! Is this what your current dream is? Are you saying that you're still seeking vengeance?
Sakura
Sasuke why?
I admit, at one time all that I wanted was to seek vengeance and destruction, but now things are different. I want to destroy but then I want to rebuild. A village without darkness. I'll reform the shinobi world. Do you understand? What I'm talking about is revolution.
Sakura
I know in my heart that there's nothing I can do even though I love you! Even though I care so much about you Sasuke. I can't get close to you or exchange blows with you. I can only whine, cry, and beg yet again! It's so pitiful isn't it? [flashes back to when Sasuke left the village] But please Sasuke! If there's even a little corner of your heart that still thinks about me, don't leave again, please! If we just stick together, I know that it can be old times again someday.
You really are still incredibly annoying. [Sasuke puts his Genjutsu on Sakura]
[Sakura wakes up from Sasuke's Genjutsu]
Sakura
It's dusk already. Where are Naruto and Sasuke?
They're fighting for their final battle right now in order to settle things for good.
[Sasuke is finishing off Naruto]
Hang in there. It's not much but I've got some chakra. Huh?
This is just one of the many abilities of the Rinnegan. As somebody who possesses the eye of the Uchiha, my victory is inevitable. Now I can finally be alone. Farewell, my one and only friend!
[Naruto counters Sasuke's attack]
That was a nice counter. You noticed that his visual prowess had weakened.
[enraged] Over and over and over and over... and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN ALREADY!
Sorry, can't do that. Because I am your one and only friend.
Sakura
Sorry? For what?
Sakura
[crying] You got that right, damn it. It's about time... you idiot!
It's finally back to the way it was.
[Everyone is freed from the Divine Tree and mourns the fallen]
Naruto, I've been thinking about what you once said to me. How when you're with me, you wonder if this is what it's like to have a brother. Now finally I think I know what you meant. It's just like how I came to feel my mother's, my father's, and my brother Itachi's pain and emotions. Naruto, I'll now start feeling your pain and feelings. You never cut me off. In fact, you kept trying to get closer to me. You could have justifiably charged at me with hatred, but instead you never stopped calling me your friend even though I tried to break that bond myself.
To be perfectly honest, under normal circumstances someone like you would be imprisoned. That your past actions were pardoned and your wish has now been granted speaks to the enormity of your help in undoing the Infinite Tsukuyomi. But also my becoming the Sixth Hokage and that Naruto, the key figure in ending the war testified on your behalf, helped. Don't forget that. Try not to cause too much trouble from here on out, otherwise I'll be held responsible.
Sakura
Do you really have to go? The artificial arm Lady Tsunade made from Lord Hashirama's cells is almost done.
I need a little time to work out my feelings. I want to know how the Shinobi World looks to the current me. I feel like I'll be able to see things I've overlooked, things I can only perceive in my current state. Also something's been weighing on me.
Sakura
And what if I said that I wanted to come with you?
This is a trip to atone for my sins. And my sins have nothing to do with you.
Sakura
Nothing to do with me, huh?
[pokes Sakura's forehead in a similar way to his brother] Maybe next time. Thank you Sakura.
[Sasuke leaves the village, only to run into Naruto]
I didn't think you'd be coming to see me off. [Naruto returns his old headband] You still had that thing? You stopped me as a friend even at the cost of your hand, and I was saved thanks to you. We were insignificant things that used to clash, and now we're able to share each other's pain. And after journeying long and seeing the world, I've realized something. This isn't really about you or me. I believe this concept can be applied to even bigger things than just us. But it's not something that can be done as easily as you were able to. I never assumed it would be simple, just like it wasn't with the two of us. Especially with something so big.
Yeah all right sure. I'll hang onto it til we have our real fight. It's kind of like a prayer. To keep enduring until it comes to be, no matter what. And to those upon whom those tasks fall on, perhaps that's what it means... to be a ninja.
