Sasuke is shocked at the sight of Itachi passing him by in the forest and chases after his brother. Sasuke confronts his brother and demands answers to his questions.

Itachi answers that it was because Sasuke didn't know about the Uchiha's plans, and that he wanted another Uchiha to eventually judge him for what he did to his clan. Itachi tells him that he had set Sasuke on the wrong path by not telling him anything, but he silently remembers Naruto, knowing that Sasuke can also be guided in another direction. He tells Sasuke that he can't stay to talk, his mind focused on destroying the Edo Tensei.

Ayumi sits in the bath, telling herself that Katsuragi would never really come over to confess.

Nora tells them that Vintage hasn't shown up and that Ayumi is taking a bath, as well as giving Katsuragi some supplies for the conquest. Haqua reminds Katsuragi that he needs to conquer Ayumi before morning, but Katsuragi replies that she is already showing signs that she is conquered and that he only needs one event to confirm her feelings for him. Ayumi, immersed in the bath, suddenly hears a noise outside and Katsuragi's voice. She looks out the window and sees Katsuragi climbing the pole outside her house, causing him to fall in surprise. She throws out a basin to drive Katsuragi away, inadvertently hitting him with her underwear in the face. Surprised, she opens the window to tell him that the underwear was hers, causing her to expose herself to Katsuragi. Katsuragi gets hit with the basin again and storms out of the bathroom. Katsuragi is undeterred, intending to use the failures to lower Ayumi's guard. He apologizes outside her window and confesses to her that she was the only one he liked from the beginning. He asks her to meet him at the Turtle Stone by the Kozue River, threatening not to return her panties if she didn't come. As Katsuragi waits for Ayumi, Chihiro confronts him and Haqua about his actions. Haqua tells Chihiro that Katsuragi is fighting to save them all. Although, with Katsuragi waving Ayumi's panties around, Chihiro finds it doubtful.
