Vol.26 Chapter 234 – The Day of Parting…!!

Kakashi regrets the way things turned out. The rain causes him to lose track of Sasuke, so he carries Naruto back to Konoha. Sasuke goes to Orochimaru, choosing not to kill Naruto. Although it would give him the power of the Mangkyo Sharingan, acquiring it would be something Itachi wanted, which Sasuke does not want to do. Kakashi is amazed at the choice of location for Naruto and Sasuke’s battle: the Valley of Completion. Since their battle is very similar to the one that formed the valley, Kakashi wonders if such battles will last forever. Meanwhile, one of the Akatsuki members emerges from the ground and notices that events are getting interesting.
