[[Sasuke]] is dumbstruck by [[Naruto]]'s display of power and asks Naruto what he is. In tears, Naruto says that he is Sasuke's friend and will not let him defect to [[Orochimaru]] even if it means breaking every bone in Sasuke's body. The boys fight, and Sasuke struggles to counter Naruto's increased speed and strength, not using clones and even deflecting Sasuke's [[Great Fireball Technique]] with a mere scream. After giving a severe beating, Naruto pins Sasuke against the rock wall and asks him if he has come to senses yet. A quiet Sasuke burst out in rage and tells Naruto that he could not possibly understand what it feels like to lose his whole family, because Naruto was alone from the start. He tackles him and they both fall to the water. |

Seemingly defeated, the fox's red chakra begins pouring out of Naruto, who slowly gets up and punches the shocked Sasuke several yards back into the water. Naruto grows a chakra tail, moves like a fox, and attacks Sasuke once more. Sasuke struggles against Naruto's onslaught and notices that the red chakra seems to have a mind of its own.
Sasuke tries using his cursed seal, but even that is ineffective against Naruto's attacks. He then uses one arm to pull him back and land an earth-shaking punch on him. Sasuke laughs and says that Naruto has given him no choice but to use the second level of his cursed seal. As the seal transforms his body, Sasuke's hair grows longer, his nails extend, and his skin turns purple. He acknowledges that Naruto possesses a special power, but says that he is more special.
Notes
- This particular episode is noted for its use of a more fluid, less exact animation style than most of the episodes in the original series. This is a trademark of animator Norio Matsumoto, who also did key animation for episodes 30, 48, 71, and Naruto Shippūden episodes 85, 123 and 167.
