Naruto confronts Sasuke and berates him for attacking their teammate, only for Sasuke scoffs that he is no longer a part of Team 7 while stating his goal destroying the Leaf Village as his way to absolve the Uchiha of all the wrongdoings that befell them. Kakashi realizes that the repeated hatred coursing through the Uchiha's history has made Sasuke what he is now. He resolves to take care of Sasuke on his own, Naruto deducing his intentions and uses his clones to restrain him while runs at Sasuke with his Rasengan. The two clash in a manner similar to what occurred at the Final Valley, the two ending up in a metaphysical plain where Naruto reveals to Sasuke that, while he used to be alone, he and Iruka pulled him from the brink. He was hesitant to approach Sasuke because he was jealous of his superior abilities, but he bonded with him all the same.
