Other place, Naruto yelled that Madara’s words were not true. Madara had told Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato that Itachi had died for Sasuke and for Konoha. Kakashi stated that if it was true, Sasuke should have followed Itachi’s wishes and to return to Konoha. Madara stated that Kakashi and Naruto did not understand Sasuke at all. He stated Sasuke was a true avenger. Naruto stated Madara had did that to Sasuke. But Madara denied for it was Sasuke’s choice. Madara stated he had took a gamble to determine Sasuke’s choice and Sasuke chose revenge. Madara also added that Sasuke’s goal was his vengeance against Konoha for what they did to the Uchiha clan and to Itachi. Naruto was shocked and upset over Sasuke’s change. Madara stated that it was a curse that had followed them for generation – the hated-filled destiny. Madara stated the curse hatred began long with the founding of the ninjas, the Rikudo sage – Sage of the Six Path. Kakashi stated Rikudo Sage was a myth and Rinnegan was a mutation. Madara explained that the Rikudo Sage preached the way of the ninja and tried to bring peace to the world but when it was still a dream, the time came. He had entrusted two boys with the power and will of the way of the ninja. The elder was born with the Sage’s ‘eyes’ and powerful chakra and spiritual energy and he believed might was the key to peace. The younger was born with the Sage’s ‘body’ and was gifted with life force and physical energy and that he believed love was the key to peace. On the deathbed of the Sage, he chose the younger brother as his successor. With that, the eternal curse of hatred was born from that decision. The elder brother could not accept the decision and attacked his brother in hatred. Time passed and the descendents of the brothers continued to war each other. The descendents of the elder were called Uchiha and the descendents of the younger were called Senju. Madara stated that his war against Shodaime - Senju Hashirama was fated. Madara added that even though this was the second time he had met Naruto, he could tell the fire of the Senju clan dwelled within him. Madara commented that he could see Shodaime in Naruto and even though Shodaime was dead, he still lived on. Madara added that Shodaime was his rival and he admired him as well as hated him more than anyone else. Madara stated Senju and Uchiha; Fire and Hatred; Naruto and Sasuke were fated.

At the battlefield, Sasuke fought Raikage. Same time, Madara stated Naruto and Sasuke were chosen by fate. Madara stated hatred was Sasuke’s greatest weapon and friend and that Sasuke would inflict that curse’s hatred on the world. While Sasuke fought Raikage, Madara told Naruto that revenge was Uchiha’s destiny and Sasuke’s dogma.
