**[00:08] ---**
Protect?
**[00:11] ---**
Did you say protect?!
**[00:15] ---**
You've got to be kidding!
**[00:18] ---**
I'll say it once more...
**[00:20] ---**
You think you know about your brother,
but you know nothing.
**[00:25] ---**
If you continue speaking
such nonsense, I'll kill you!
**[00:30] ---**
You're not making this easy, are you?
**[00:34] ---**
I suppose that's natural though...
**[00:36] ---**
Suddenly being told such a story
by a stranger like me.
**[00:40] ---**
But what I tell you is the truth.
**[00:45] ---**
Itachi did mention it, did he not?
About his accomplice that night.
**[00:53] ---**
I am *that* Madara Uchiha.
**[01:00] ---**
I know everything about Itachi.
**[01:02] ---**
I suppose Itachi died
without realizing that.
**[01:08] ---**
Shut up!
Such things don't matter anymore!
**[01:11] ---**
Just get out of my sight!
**[01:13] ---**
No, you will listen.
You need to hear this.
**[01:18] ---**
It's your obligation!
**[01:22] ---**
For the sake of the ninja world...
**[01:24] ---**
For the sake of
the Hidden Leaf Village...
**[01:26] ---**
And for your sake...
**[01:28] ---**
Your brother risked everything.
You will know how Itachi Uchiha lived!
**[01:38] ---**
Do you know why?
**[01:41] ---**
Why Itachi implanted Amaterasu
into your eye?
**[01:47] ---**
Itachi was determined to make sure
that you and I would not meet.
**[01:51] ---**
You will understand why,
as well as everything else,
**[01:54] ---**
when you hear me out.
**[01:59] ---**
Those who knew the truth about Itachi
**[02:01] ---**
were Danzo of the Hidden Leaf,
the Third Hokage,
**[02:04] ---**
and his advisors Homura and Koharu.
Just those four.
**[02:10] ---**
The Third Hokage died...
and now, there are only three aging folk.
**[02:16] ---**
Still, those three will probably
never reveal the abominable truth.
**[02:22] ---**
The truth about Itachi will fade
into darkness forever.
**[02:25] ---**
And that is what Itachi wished.
**[02:33] ---**
However, I know the truth
about Itachi too.
**[02:37] ---**
As I said earlier...
Itachi died without realizing that.
**[02:44] ---**
However, he wanted to
make doubly sure.
**[02:46] ---**
It seems Itachi did not trust me.
**[02:50] ---**
So just in case I did know the truth,
**[02:53] ---**
he planned to silence me
with the Amaterasu.
**[02:57] ---**
He probably anticipated I would show
my Sharingan
**[03:01] ---**
in order to speak to you.
**[03:04] ---**
What is this?
**[03:09] ---**
What is this guy saying?
**[03:13] ---**
Protect me?
**[03:16] ---**
Protect?!
**[03:18] ---**
The truth?
**[03:24] ---**
Think back.
**[03:29] ---**
Think carefully and
remember about Itachi.
**[03:45] ---**
About your kind brother.
**[04:03] ---**
*What's wrong?*
**[04:08] ---**
*This is it, right?
*The place where Father works.*
**[04:12] ---**
*This is the headquarters of
*the Hidden Leaf Police Force.*
**[04:15] ---**
*I've always been curious.*
**[04:18] ---**
*Why is the Uchiha crest
*on the police force logo?*
**[04:22] ---**
*What? You noticed that?*
**[04:24] ---**
*Who wouldn't?*
**[04:27] ---**
*Well...let's see...*
**[04:30] ---**
*Simply put, it seems our ancestors formed
*and organized this police force.*
**[04:37] ---**
*And so, they used our family crest
*as the symbol of this organization.*
**[04:43] ---**
*From ages past,*
**[04:45] ---**
*our clan has been entrusted
*with the safety of the village.*
**[04:48] ---**
*The Uchiha crest reflects
*the pride of our clan.*
**[04:54] ---**
*While its numbers have dwindled,*
**[04:58] ---**
*even today, nearly everyone in
*the clan serves on Squad One*
**[05:01] ---**
*and is dedicated to preserving
*the peace and safety of the village.*
**[05:05] ---**
*After all, only exceptional ninja are capable
*of preventing crimes that ninja commit.*
**[05:12] ---**
*Father is great, after all!*
**[05:15] ---**
*Are you going to work here too?*
**[05:17] ---**
*I wonder about that...*
**[05:20] ---**
*You should!*
**[05:25] ---**
No, he...
**[05:27] ---**
He tried to kill me!
**[05:30] ---**
He tried to take my eyes...
**[05:37] ---**
*Who would do such a thing?!*
**[05:41] ---**
*Foolish little brother...*
**[05:43] ---**
*Mangekyo Sharingan!*
**[06:01] ---**
Calm down!
**[06:04] ---**
Breathe slowly.
**[06:13] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[06:24] ---**
*Even if you do hate me...*
**[06:27] ---**
*That's what big brothers are for.*
**[06:34] ---**
*Sorry, Sasuke... Another time.*
**[08:24] ---**
*Fate
*
**[08:36] ---**
You're awake...
**[08:39] ---**
Sorry, but I took the liberty
of tying you up.
**[08:41] ---**
Since you weren't gonna stay still
and listen to me.
**[08:50] ---**
He... Itachi was my enemy.
**[08:54] ---**
He killed our parents...
He killed everyone in the clan.
**[08:59] ---**
He was a Rogue Ninja...
A member of the Akatsuki...
**[09:04] ---**
He was despicable.
**[09:07] ---**
He was my target.
**[09:10] ---**
It's true...
**[09:11] ---**
that he annihilated
the Uchiha clan that night.
**[09:15] ---**
And he deserted the Hidden Leaf.
**[09:18] ---**
Then...
**[09:20] ---**
And that is what he was ordered
to do by the Hidden Leaf.
**[09:27] ---**
That is the beginning of
the truth about Itachi.
**[09:31] ---**
It was his mission?
**[09:33] ---**
Yes.
**[09:35] ---**
That night,
**[09:36] ---**
Itachi killed his personal feelings
and fulfilled his mission.
**[09:44] ---**
It seems you've calmed down a bit.
**[09:47] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[09:50] ---**
In order to talk about Itachi,
**[09:52] ---**
I must take you back to the early days
when Hidden Leaf Village was founded.
**[09:58] ---**
Itachi sacrificed himself.
**[10:01] ---**
This is fate that has continued
since ages past.
**[10:04] ---**
He was sacrificed for it.
**[10:07] ---**
Sacrifice?
**[10:08] ---**
That's correct.
**[10:10] ---**
A huge problem rooted since the time
Hidden Leaf Village was founded.
**[10:16] ---**
That is what determined Itachi's life.
**[10:22] ---**
It's a long story,
but everything I tell you is the truth.
**[10:28] ---**
On what basis should I believe you?
**[10:31] ---**
You're untrustworthy.
**[10:33] ---**
There's nothing I can show you
as proof.
**[10:36] ---**
And it's up to you whether
you believe me or not.
**[10:40] ---**
But you will hear me out until I finish.
**[10:56] ---**
Fine... So talk.
**[11:01] ---**
It all started more
than 80 years ago.
**[11:10] ---**
The world was in turmoil.
It was the age of war.
**[11:15] ---**
Nations battled for power and
to increase their territories.
**[11:21] ---**
During this age of war,
**[11:23] ---**
ninjas consisted of individual clans
serving as armed units.
**[11:27] ---**
They were hired by various nations
to participate in the fighting.
**[11:33] ---**
And among the many ninja clans,
two were feared as the strongest.
**[11:42] ---**
One was us, the Uchiha clan.
**[11:45] ---**
And the other was known
as the Forest's Senju Clan.
**[11:49] ---**
We of the Uchiha clan possessed
exceptional chakra and the Sharingan.
**[11:53] ---**
Excelling in all types of warfare,
we became known as a battle clan.
**[12:00] ---**
And I was born into the Uchiha clan,
**[12:03] ---**
possessing chakra that
was especially powerful.
**[12:07] ---**
Perhaps the fact that I've lived
this long is proof of that.
**[12:12] ---**
Back in those days,
all I did was battle.
**[12:15] ---**
In an age defined by power,
**[12:17] ---**
I sought to become ever stronger
**[12:21] ---**
and killed my friends and
even my younger brother.
**[12:24] ---**
Why you...!
**[12:26] ---**
As a result, I came into possession
of the perfect Mangekyo Sharingan,
**[12:30] ---**
and became the leader of the Uchiha.
**[12:33] ---**
And using that power,
I fought the Senju clan countless times.
**[12:39] ---**
It was inevitable that I face Hashirama,
the leader of the Senju clan.
**[12:46] ---**
"Wood Style" Hashirama Senju,
the future first Hokage.
**[12:51] ---**
The one who stood at
the top of the ninja world...
**[12:53] ---**
And the one I respected most.
**[13:03] ---**
The Senju clan, led by Hashirama
who became the First Hokage,
**[13:08] ---**
was feared and respected
by all the other clans.
**[13:14] ---**
If the Senju moved,
so did the Uchiha.
**[13:17] ---**
Our clan was probably the only clan
able to compete with them.
**[13:22] ---**
If a nation hired the Senju,
**[13:23] ---**
the opposing nation would hire
the Uchiha.
**[13:26] ---**
We were like rivals.
**[13:28] ---**
The more I went up against Hashirama,
**[13:30] ---**
the more my name became known
as well.
**[13:36] ---**
*To get close to the top...
*to measure my abilities...*
**[13:42] ---**
To heighten your reputation...
**[13:44] ---**
You took your younger brother's eyes
just for that?!
**[13:48] ---**
I did take them.
**[13:51] ---**
But I needed power in order
to protect the Uchiha.
**[13:55] ---**
Protect?
**[13:58] ---**
Yes. As the Uchiha name spread,
its enemies increased.
**[14:03] ---**
It was a necessary sacrifice
to protect the clan
**[14:06] ---**
during the fierce fighting with the Senju,
and the other clans.
**[14:12] ---**
It was not for my fame.
**[14:16] ---**
My younger brother was
in total agreement
**[14:19] ---**
and offered his eyes to me.
**[14:26] ---**
But one day,
the Senju clan offered a truce.
**[14:33] ---**
And the Uchiha accepted it.
**[14:36] ---**
Everyone, in both clans,
had grown weary of the fighting
**[14:39] ---**
that had dragged on for so long.
**[14:42] ---**
They had enough.
**[14:46] ---**
But I...
**[14:47] ---**
I was the only one who opposed it.
**[14:51] ---**
Where has all the hate gone?!
**[14:55] ---**
For what purpose had my brother
sacrificed himself?!
**[15:05] ---**
The Uchiha and Senju are
like oil and water.
**[15:09] ---**
I couldn't help fearing that in time,
**[15:11] ---**
the Uchiha clan would come to
be oppressed by the Senju clan.
**[15:19] ---**
However...everyone in the Uchiha clan
wanted a truce.
**[15:25] ---**
As their leader, I had no choice
but to go along with their wishes.
**[15:32] ---**
Shortly thereafter, the ninja alliance
signed a pact with the Land of Fire,
**[15:38] ---**
which had sought dominion
over the territories.
**[15:40] ---**
The secure one nation, one village system
was formed
**[15:45] ---**
and became the Land of Fire and
the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
**[15:50] ---**
Other countries adopted
the one nation, one village system.
**[15:54] ---**
And subsequently,
the fires of war were extinguished.
**[15:58] ---**
Momentary peace.
**[16:02] ---**
But due to a certain incident,
**[16:03] ---**
the Hidden Leaf Village quickly
descended into turmoil.
**[16:07] ---**
A certain incident?
**[16:09] ---**
A fight...for the First Hokage's seat.
**[16:15] ---**
As you know, the first to occupy
that seat was Hashirama Senju.
**[16:20] ---**
The Land of Fire and
the entire clan chose Hashirama.
**[16:24] ---**
It was inevitable
**[16:25] ---**
that the Uchiha's hold on
the reins of power would loosen.
**[16:29] ---**
I decided that the Uchiha
should take leadership...
**[16:35] ---**
That we should confront Hashirama...
**[16:39] ---**
But no one, not even from
the Uchiha clan, supported me.
**[16:44] ---**
My subordinates, who did not wish
to light the fires of war,
**[16:47] ---**
were unsympathetic and betrayed me.
**[16:55] ---**
I was accused of acting
out of greed and self-interest.
**[17:00] ---**
Not only that...
**[17:01] ---**
They scorned me as
a selfish brother
**[17:04] ---**
who stole his younger brother's eyes
in order to save his own.
**[17:07] ---**
What brother would willfully
hurt his younger brother?!
**[17:11] ---**
I just...I just wanted to
protect the Uchiha!
**[17:18] ---**
I left the village.
**[17:21] ---**
Everyone betrayed me.
**[17:24] ---**
I became an avenger and declared
war on the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[17:45] ---**
And I lost...
**[17:49] ---**
At that place which became known
as the Final Valley.
**[17:53] ---**
I was said...to have died there.
**[17:57] ---**
Even Hashirama believed it.
**[18:01] ---**
And everyone forgot about me...
History forgot about me.
**[18:07] ---**
Hashirama's younger brother
who became the Second Hokage
**[18:10] ---**
was determined that there would
never be a traitor like me again.
**[18:13] ---**
So, as proof of his trust, he granted
the Uchiha a special position...
**[18:19] ---**
And he created
the Hidden Leaf Police Force.
**[18:22] ---**
But the truth is...
**[18:25] ---**
This was to further distance the Uchiha
from the reins of government.
**[18:28] ---**
Furthermore, it was a way to keep
a close eye on the entire clan.
**[18:33] ---**
There were Uchiha members
who realized this...
**[18:36] ---**
Members who wanted to carry
on my rebellion.
**[18:41] ---**
But...it was too late.
**[18:45] ---**
Time passed...
**[18:47] ---**
The Senju clan solidified
its hold on power
**[18:49] ---**
and the Uchiha fell to
becoming Senju dogs.
**[18:53] ---**
And what I predicted came to pass.
**[18:57] ---**
A certain other incident sealed
Uchiha's figurative demise.
**[19:05] ---**
Yes...
**[19:07] ---**
The attack of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon
16 years ago.
**[19:15] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:18] ---**
The Nine-Tails can only be tamed
and controlled
**[19:21] ---**
by the ocular powers of the Uchiha.
**[19:23] ---**
The higher-ups of Hidden Leaf Village
perceived the Uchiha
**[19:26] ---**
to be behind this attack.
**[19:31] ---**
That was a natural occurrence,
a natural calamity.
**[19:33] ---**
The Uchiha had nothing to do with it.
**[19:36] ---**
Yet suspicion fell on them...
**[19:40] ---**
That the Uchiha had revolted
and sought to take power.
**[19:47] ---**
As a result,
the Uchiha was put under
**[19:49] ---**
the strict surveillance of
the Anbu Black Ops,
**[19:51] ---**
and they were forced to relocate
to the outskirts of the village.
**[19:56] ---**
They became totally estranged.
**[20:00] ---**
The Third Hokage was the only one
to voice opposition to our treatment.
**[20:05] ---**
But Danzo of the Anbu Black Ops
**[20:06] ---**
and the rest of the councilors
would not listen.
**[20:10] ---**
In the end,
the Uchiha clan was not trusted.
**[20:14] ---**
And the discrimination began...
**[20:23] ---**
Their distrust bred hatred
**[20:25] ---**
and eventually,
their suspicions became reality.
**[20:30] ---**
The Uchiha clan plotted
a coup d'état to take over the village...
**[20:37] ---**
The higher-ups in Hidden Leaf Village
planted a spy within the Uchiha clan.
**[20:42] ---**
That spy was your older brother...
**[20:46] ---**
Itachi Uchiha.
**[20:53] ---**
From that moment,
Itachi's suffering began.
**[22:36] ---**
You laid false charges
against the Uchiha!
**[22:38] ---**
That's Itachi's lie.
**[22:40] ---**
I won't believe it!
Itachi tried to kill me!
**[22:45] ---**
If he really wanted to,
you certainly would be dead. However...
**[22:48] ---**
Stop it! I've had enough!
**[22:50] ---**
You should know why.
Because you are...
**[22:55] ---**
Next time, on Naruto Shippuden:
"Truth"
**[22:58] ---**
That is Itachi's truth.
**[23:04] ---**
Tune in again!
