[flashing back while going to kill Sasuke] Sasuke, when did I fall in love with you? It seems so long ago but back then, I was just infatuated with how cool you were. And then, even better than I could have hoped, you became my teammate. Together we were Team 7. Being teammates didn't change my feelings. I was still hopelessly in love with the cool Sasuke. Just gazing at his handsome face was enough for me. I never gave a moment's thought to who he really was behind that pensive face. You carried a shadow inside you, and when I finally noticed it was too late. Naruto knew. He knew about your shadow, your dark burden. I was the one left behind. But even then my feelings didn't change. I tried in my own way to catch up to the two of you. But Sasuke is no longer the person we once thought he was. He's far beyond our reach now. But I'm also grateful. However, I've already decided. I'm going to take care of Sasuke myself.
