Inari is running as fast as he can.
Inari's Mind: Naruto, Big Brother Kyllian, and others are out there fighting! We should be too!
Inari runs up to Giichi's door and starts banging.
Inari: Old man! Old Man Giichi! Please open up! Let's go to the bridge! If we all do it together, we can beat Gatô and his men this time!
Giichi locks the door.
Giichi: Inari... I made up my mind not to fight anymore. Even your father... The man we called a hero...He's not with us anymore. If we were to fight, many lives would be lost. I don't want to lose something that's special to me anymore. No one wants to regret it again.
Inari looks down but finds the courage.
Inari: I...I don't want to regret again, either. That's why we must fight!
Inari remembers his father's words.
(Kaiza: A man should live
his life without regrets)
Inari: I love Mommy and Grampa. And you too, Old Man Giichi! I love all the people here! I finally realized... Nothing is accomplished if I just cry all the time! I finally got it!
Inari runs away.
Giichi is in his house as an elderly woman is in the house knitting as she speaks.
Elder woman: Inari... has grown into a fine man. Will you just let Inari go there by himself?
Inari runs all around town to find help.
Inari: Open up!
Inari: Hey!
Inari: I'm asking you to fight with me!
Inari: Old man! Please listen to me!
Inari: Why... Why won't anyone open the door to me?
Inari remembers Kyllian and Naruto.
Inari's mind: Kyllian, Naruto.
Haku is asking Naruto to kill him.
Haku: Naruto... I want you to kill me. Please, make it quick. What are you hesitating for?
Naruto: I just don't get it! The only reason you are allowed to live is because you stay strong? There must be something other than just fighting... There must be some other way for you to make the others accept you!
Haku: Remember when we met at the forest? Do you know what I thought? I'm sure you and I are much alike. I'm sure you can relate to me. I apologize for dirtying your hands with my blood.
Naruto: Is that it? Is there really no other way?
Haku: No.
Naruto: If only... we had met under
different circumstances, we could've been friends.
Naruto pulls out a kunai and runs at Haku.
Haku's Mind: Please...promise you will grasp your dream.
Naruto's Mind: They two Kyllian, Sasuke also had dreams of his own!
Naruto keeps charging at Haku.
Haku's Mind: Thank you... You will become stronger.
(Over at Sakura and Tazuna)
Tazuna: Hmm... The super thick fog has finally begun to clear.
Sakura: There are two over there! They are facing off each other.
Tazuna: Huh?
Sakura: I can't see well... Which one is Kakashi Sensei... One moved!
Haku gets a sense.
