"Back in the day, I couldn't stand Sasuke.
Even though neither of us had families
he was an elite and I was last in the class.
But, it really was a lot of fun when we were together.
He...
He acknowledged me more than anyone else ever did.
Sasuke is my friend.
Someone who I was finally able to form a bond with,
.
.
.
I don't care who I have to fight!
If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death.
If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death!
If he rips my heads off, I'll stare him to death!
And if he gouges out my eyes,
I'll curse him from beyond the grave!
Even if I'm torn to shredds,
I'm taking Sasuke back from Orochimaru!"
