Being Hokage... [It's a speech he hasn't yet been able to give Naruto, the one friend who will try to stop him. His feelings, so far, are fresh, new, and haven't changed.] You should have been Hokage. [He lifts his head again, eyes hard.]
You gave up everything for the village. You were a criminal, a traitor. You suffered so much... in the dark, alone. But you never gave any of it up. You never told anyone.
I'm not like you, Niisan. I'm the last Uchiha. I'm alone. I can shoulder the same burden you carried, the one a Hokage should. All of the ninja world's hate, I accept it. So they'll be unified, so they'll work together peacefully.
