Shikamaru's squad confront the Sound Four.Ī five-man squad was gathered by Shikamaru, including himself, Kiba, Naruto, Chōji, and Neji. He sincerely thanks her for everything she had done for him thus far, before knocking her unconscious and laying her on a nearby bench, and then leaving the village. As a last resort, Sakura threatened to scream and alert the village guards if Sasuke left, and finally, having hit a nerve, Sasuke moved from several feet in front of Sakura to directly behind her in a flash of speed. Once she realised that he was going to leave either way, she offered to go with him to help him enact his revenge, which he refused. Sasuke went to leave the village that night, but was disrupted by Sakura, who then tried to convince him to not leave Konoha.ĭuring this conversation, a crying and desperate Sakura confessed her love to Sasuke, and begged him not to leave the village, but he rejected her. Despite a lecture from Kakashi about the pointlessness of revenge, the appearance of Orochimaru's Sound Four, with an offer of greater powers, and yet another humiliating pummelling, tipped Sasuke over the edge. However, Sasuke would never recognise Naruto, because, by doing so, he would also have to admit that he was weaker than him. Naruto only wanted recognition from Sasuke, recognition that he really had got stronger.

Sasuke leaves Konoha and joins the Sound Four.Įver since the Chūnin Exams and the fight against Gaara of the Sand Waterfall, Sasuke had felt that Naruto had been improving immensely. This only made Sasuke even angrier that Naruto was getting stronger by the day, and could actually be able to defeat him in battle. Sasuke realised he might have lost the fight and received major injuries if Kakashi hadn't stopped the fight.

While Sasuke's Chidori made a larger dent on the front of the tower than Naruto's Rasengan, Sasuke was shocked to find that the back of Naruto's water tank had been completely blown out by the power of his Rasengan. Kakashi Hatake leapt in to stop the fight just when Naruto and Sasuke were about to use their Rasengan and Chidori on each other, deflecting both their attacks into adjacent water towers. They engaged in a heated duel on the rooftop of the hospital, where Naruto told Sasuke that he had never considered himself inferior to Sasuke. Humiliated by Itachi's declaration that he was disappointingly weak, and aware of the fact that Naruto might be his superior, Sasuke challenged Naruto to a fight after Naruto returned to Konoha. To do so, he must claim a great amount of power, which became the centre of his entire life. Sasuke's decision to leave was the result of a chain of events that rekindled his hatred for his brother and desire to avenge his clan. Naruto's influence on Sasuke, though profound, was powerless to prevent Sasuke from leaving his village and friends to receive training from Orochimaru.
