As Naruto and Sasuke continue their battle, Sasuke recalls more about his past. He explains how he joined the academy, and how nice Itachi used to be. However, one day things changed and Sasuke saw hate in Itachi's eyes for the first time.
Sasuke tries to burn Naruto, but to his surprise, Naruto bursts out of the fire and punches him in the face. Naruto soon begins to punch Sasuke over and over and realizes that it has no affect on him. Sasuke simply replies that if that's all the strength that he has then it's not even worth the battle. His strength and hatred doesn't compare to his own. Staying in Konoha was holding him back from the power he needed.
Sasuke flashes back to his younger version. He is getting a piggy-back ride from his brother and notices the police station where his father works. Itachi explains the importance of the village and the safety of it. They walk home where their father is waiting for them. He explains to Itachi that he has a new mission and how proud he is for Itachi ranking to chuunin. Sasuke becomes upset that his father is going to have to miss the school's opening ceremony. Itachi later replies that he will miss the mission and would rather go to Sasuke's ceremony. His father then decides that they will all go to the ceremony.
After a little bit, the teacher talks to Sasuke's father and admits that Sasuke is the school's first genius and expects great things from him. Sasuke trains and returns home to hear that Itachi was accepted into the secret services. Sasuke practices some more to try to become closer to his brother's strength. When he returns home his mother puts bandages on Sasuke.
At school, he receives his report card and gets outstanding grades. When he shows it to his father, he tells Sasuke to keep up the work and he too will be as great as his brother. Sasuke soon turns upset that he only recognizes Itachi and wishes for him to say "As expected from my child".
