Naruto
He really is trying to kill me… no, I think he has killed me. My body feels light… Am I floating amoung the clouds. Water? Water – I'm surrounded by water! I'm floating in the water, the lake; the Valley of the End. Where it will end. No. I will return to Konoha with Sasuke. Strength is filling my body; pulling it up right. I can feel the demon with in me. We will fight and return home together.
Sasuke
I killed him. Did I really want that? Do I want to kill my best friend? What am I doing? Am I doing what I want or what I was told to do? Is this my choice? Yes. I will be the avenger, I will follow my path. Your friendship is too late. My path is set.
