[00:10] ---
    They've been making us walk
    quite a distance since sunrise.
[00:14] ---
    Our battle must be imminent.
[00:17] ---
    Who will we be fighting?
[00:25] ---
    You don't think it's…
[00:27] ---
    Are they close?
[00:28] ---
    It feels familiar, nostalgic…
[00:38] ---
    Itachi Uchiha…and Nagato!
[00:40] ---
    You know these guys, Naruto?
[00:42] ---
    Yeah, I know both of them.
[00:44] ---
    I never imagined I'd be forced
    into fighting you again, Naruto.
[00:50] ---
    It's probably been
    a while since we last met.
[00:53] ---
    But since I've been dead, it feels
    like it's only been a moment.
[00:57] ---
    You've changed a bit, Naruto.
[01:00] ---
    Oh, you mean this?
[01:01] ---
    I'm in control of
    the Nine Tails' chakra now.
[01:05] ---
    This is my Chakra Mode!
[01:07] ---
    What?
[01:09] ---
    I see…
    No wonder you look different.
[01:13] ---
    It's your face.
[01:17] ---
    You now command
    the Power of the Nine Tails?
[01:20] ---
    I'm impressed with
    your development!
[01:23] ---
    He and I are sibling students.
[01:25] ---
    I'm not surprised!
[01:28] ---
    For that, it's me he owes…
[01:29] ---
    Before I came along, he was
    pretty much in the shadows.
[01:31] ---
    That's so not true!
[01:35] ---
    So you've overcome hatred, Naruto?
[01:39] ---
    Oh yeah! As my senior,
    you taught me about pain.
[01:43] ---
    The training I did at the Waterfall
    of Truth with Octopops…
[01:46] ---
    My mom and dad…
[01:48] ---
    I have all of you to thank
    for where I am now!
[01:52] ---
    I see…
[01:55] ---
    Naruto, I must ask you…
[01:59] ---
    That reminds me—
[02:01] ---
    I have a question for you,
    as well.
[02:06] ---
    Seems like I found you first…
    Eight Tails and Nine Tails.
[02:11] ---
    With these two cards,
    he'll fall right into my hands.
[02:18] ---
    Too bad I won't be able to see
    the frustrated look on
[02:21] ---
    his face under that mask…
    when he realizes!
[02:28] ---
    Fire Style!
[02:29] ---
    Fireball Jutsu!
[04:09] ---
    Contact! Naruto vs. Itachi!
    
    
[04:15] ---
    Naruto, I must ask you…
[04:19] ---
    That reminds me—
[04:21] ---
    I have a question for you, as well.
[04:31] ---
    Yo?!
[04:40] ---
    Oops, was that hot?
[04:42] ---
    Sorry for not giving it all I got.
[04:43] ---
    Samehada…
[04:46] ---
    So Kisame is…
[04:49] ---
    He was still talking…
[04:52] ---
    He's under a spell…
[04:54] ---
    Even if he cuts you off,
    what the hell?
[04:57] ---
    Okay?
[04:59] ---
    Above you!
[05:00] ---
    I see him!
[05:04] ---
    What happened to Sasuke?
[05:07] ---
    He says he's going to take
    revenge on the Leaf Village!
[05:10] ---
    He joined the Akatsuki!
[05:13] ---
    Why won't Sasuke return
    to the village?
[05:17] ---
    He found out about
    your top-secret mission,
[05:22] ---
    and chose to destroy the village!
[05:28] ---
    Top-secret mission?
[05:29] ---
    Don't tell me Madara…?
[05:40] ---
    Madara told me the truth too.
[05:47] ---
    So that's how it was…
[05:49] ---
    So Madara was telling the truth!
[05:53] ---
    The Uchiha Clan tried to
    take over the village and…
[05:56] ---
    You've said enough, Naruto.
[05:59] ---
    Is that true, Itachi?
[06:01] ---
    Itachi…
[06:03] ---
    You died playing the villain
[06:04] ---
    in order to protect
    the village and Sasuke!
[06:08] ---
    Sasuke surely understands
    your pain and resolve!
[06:13] ---
    But instead of seeing
    your wishes through,
[06:16] ---
    Sasuke is trying to
    destroy the village.
[06:18] ---
    This is his way of avenging
[06:20] ---
    the pain the village caused
    his beloved older brother!
[06:25] ---
    Damn Madara,
    he knew the truth about me…
[06:32] ---
    Do the villagers know about this?
[06:35] ---
    Kakashi Sensei and
    Captain Yamato were there too.
[06:39] ---
    But there was nothing to prove
    what Madara said,
[06:42] ---
    so Kakashi Sensei is keeping
    everyone tight-lipped.
[06:44] ---
    I don't think anyone else knows.
[06:47] ---
    Then don't ever tell
    the village about this!
[06:51] ---
    You can't let the Uchiha Clan's
    reputation change!
[06:55] ---
    And one more thing…
[06:57] ---
    Damn! My body is moving
    on its own!
[07:00] ---
    Universal Pull!
[07:13] ---
    Nicely dodged, Naruto!
[07:15] ---
    I'm stronger now than
    when Pain and I fought.
[07:26] ---
    I'll let you deal with Sasuke.
[07:28] ---
    That was my plan from the start!
[07:32] ---
    Entrusting it to you was
    the right thing to do, after all.
[07:36] ---
    Okay, Naruto, pull me away!
[07:40] ---
    I can't move by myself.
[07:44] ---
    Summoning Jutsu!
[07:45] ---
    What?!
[07:53] ---
    Or maybe I can…
[07:55] ---
    Did you always do that?
[07:59] ---
    Behind you!
[07:59] ---
    I got it! Okay!
[08:02] ---
    Fire Style! Phoenix Flower Jutsu!
[08:14] ---
    Hot! Hot! Hot!
[08:23] ---
    Caught you! Ya fool, ya fool!
[08:34] ---
    For someone so big,
    that was easy!
[08:38] ---
    Keep your guard up, Naruto!
[08:48] ---
    What the hell's happening?!
[08:59] ---
    Genjutsu!
[09:03] ---
    Don't look at my eyes!
[09:09] ---
    Ouch!
[09:10] ---
    Wake up!
[09:15] ---
    Samehada!
[09:33] ---
    Killer Bee the Eight Tails!
    That's me!
[09:36] ---
    Yay!
[10:03] ---
    This'll go on forever!
[10:05] ---
    He multiplies every time
    you hit him!
[10:07] ---
    Knock me down first!
[10:20] ---
    Watch yourself, Octopops!
[10:22] ---
    If you get struck by Amaterasu or
    Tsukuyomi, it'll be the end of you!
[10:25] ---
    He's got the Mangekyo Sharingan!
[10:55] ---
    It's out.
[11:00] ---
    Did he do something to Naruto
    with his Visual Prowess?
[11:09] ---
    Why did a crow
    come out of my mouth?
[11:20] ---
    Why are you so attached
    to my brother?
[11:23] ---
    He's a Rogue Ninja.
[11:27] ---
    That's because unlike you…
[11:30] ---
    I think of him as a brother,
    more than you ever did.
[11:45] ---
    You're already under my genjutsu.
[11:49] ---
    Damn it!
[11:53] ---
    I'll say it again.
[11:54] ---
    I just wanted to talk to you
    for a moment.
[11:59] ---
    You've been trying to take
    Sasuke back to the village.
[12:03] ---
    But what if it doesn't go
    the way you want?
[12:07] ---
    I'll do anything to make it happen.
[12:10] ---
    Even by force?
[12:12] ---
    If, by some turn of luck,
[12:14] ---
    Sasuke goes with you
    willingly, great.
[12:17] ---
    But what if the exact
    opposite happens?
[12:21] ---
    What does that mean?
[12:24] ---
    You just said you consider
    Sasuke to be like a brother…
[12:29] ---
    What if Sasuke were to attack
    the Leaf Village?
[12:33] ---
    What would you do then?
[12:35] ---
    What?
    Why would Sasuke…?
[12:38] ---
    There's no way he'd do
    something like that!
[12:40] ---
    Sasuke is still naïve.
[12:43] ---
    He can easily be dyed any color.
[12:46] ---
    In such a case,
    can you stop him?
[12:52] ---
    Even if you have to kill Sasuke?
[12:54] ---
    Come to think of it, back then…
[13:05] ---
    I have shared some of
    my power with you.
[13:08] ---
    Though I hope the day never comes
    when you'll have to use it.
[13:16] ---
    This feeling!
[13:20] ---
    Naruto! It's Amaterasu!
[13:24] ---
    Almighty Push!
[13:27] ---
    Damn it! My body's moving
    by itself again!
[13:33] ---
    What was that?!
[13:35] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:47] ---
    It's not Amaterasu?
[13:57] ---
    So that's how it is…
[13:59] ---
    How what is…?
[14:01] ---
    Amaterasu…
[14:14] ---
    He used Amaterasu?
[14:20] ---
    That crow… It's yours, isn't it?
[14:23] ---
    What did you do with that crow?
[14:28] ---
    I underestimated him…
[14:31] ---
    Itachi Uchiha.
    He's clearly different from the rest.
[14:37] ---
    He resisted my Reanimation Jutsu.
[14:40] ---
    It worked…
[14:42] ---
    Oh, so that's it…
[14:45] ---
    Amaterasu!
[15:00] ---
    You!
[15:02] ---
    Relax…
[15:04] ---
    I'm no longer being controlled.
[15:06] ---
    I used a new genjutsu against
    the enemy's jutsu.
[15:11] ---
    A genjutsu that orders me
    to protect the Leaf Village.
[15:14] ---
    It erased the Reanimation Jutsu.
[15:20] ---
    I prepared that crow to respond
    to my Mangekyo Sharingan.
[15:26] ---
    Just in case, for times like this.
[15:29] ---
    What're you talking about?
[15:31] ---
    It's implanted in that crow's left eye.
[15:36] ---
    It's his eye!
[15:38] ---
    There's only one genjutsu
    that can do that.
[15:42] ---
    Shisui Uchiha's…
[15:44] ---
    The ultimate Mangekyo Sharingan
    genjutsu in existence:
[15:48] ---
    Koto Amatsukami.
[15:54] ---
    Using that genjutsu,
    I was able to restore myself.
[15:58] ---
    It appears Shisui's Mangekyo
    had already worn off, though.
[16:01] ---
    Shisui Uchiha?
[16:05] ---
    The Uchiha's most powerful
    genjutsu user….
[16:07] ---
    Shisui the Teleporter?
[16:10] ---
    Shisui's Visual Prowess creates
    a powerful genjutsu
[16:14] ---
    that allows you to control someone
    without them ever realizing it.
[16:19] ---
    I programmed the genjutsu,
    to protect the Leaf, into Shisui's eye.
[16:24] ---
    Then I put it into the crow's left eye,
[16:26] ---
    and after that,
    I gave the crow to you, Naruto.
[16:30] ---
    I never realized that I'd be
    using it on myself someday.
[16:35] ---
    Why did you have that eye,
    and why did you give it to me?
[16:43] ---
    Self-sacrifice…
[16:45] ---
    The mark of a true shinobi is
    that they do not seek glory.
[16:48] ---
    They protect from the shadows.
[16:51] ---
    Shisui taught me that.
[16:54] ---
    Shisui anticipated that a battle
    would ensue for his eyes.
[17:00] ---
    He faked his own death
[17:01] ---
    and made it seem like
    his eyes were destroyed.
[17:03] ---
    I helped him by becoming
    the target of suspicion in the village.
[17:08] ---
    When I last saw Shisui,
[17:10] ---
    Danzo had managed to
    steal his right eye.
[17:14] ---
    He bequeathed his remaining
    left eye to me,
[17:17] ---
    telling me to use it to protect
    the village, and disappeared.
[17:21] ---
    I gave that eye to you,
    because you share Shisui's feelings.
[17:28] ---
    If Sasuke, whom I left behind,
[17:30] ---
    ever became a threat
    to the village…
[17:32] ---
    then I would have violated all
    that Shisui entrusted me to do.
[17:37] ---
    You are the only one
    who can make it right.
[17:42] ---
    You said you consider
    Sasuke a brother.
[17:44] ---
    That's why I felt that you, Naruto,
[17:48] ---
    were the only one
    who could stop him.
[17:51] ---
    True power…
[17:53] ---
    In his quest for
    the Eternal Mangekyo,
[17:55] ---
    Sasuke planned on transplanting
    my eyes into himself.
[17:59] ---
    If that ever happened,
[18:01] ---
    that crow was supposed
    to emerge from you,
[18:05] ---
    in response to your coming into
    contact with my transplanted eyes,
[18:08] ---
    and cast the Koto Amatsukami
    to protect the Leaf, onto Sasuke.
[18:11] ---
    That was my plan.
[18:14] ---
    Why didn't you cast that jutsu
    on Sasuke from the start,
[18:16] ---
    using Shisui's eye?
[18:19] ---
    It's not that I didn't, I couldn't.
[18:23] ---
    Not at that time…
[18:25] ---
    Shisui's Mangekyo would take
    decades to reactivate,
[18:30] ---
    unless you had
    Hashirama Senju's chakra.
[18:34] ---
    Also, there were many things
[18:37] ---
    Sasuke wanted to
    use my death for.
[18:41] ---
    Itachi…
[18:44] ---
    Thank you for trusting me.
[18:46] ---
    You don't have to worry anymore.
[18:49] ---
    You've done more than
    enough for the village.
[18:54] ---
    Let me take care of the rest.
[19:00] ---
    I would defend the Leaf Village!
[19:02] ---
    But I would also stop
    Sasuke without killing him!
[19:10] ---
    My little brother is lucky…
    to have a friend like you.
[19:21] ---
    Even Shisui's eye…
[19:23] ---
    Luck just keeps coming my way!
[19:26] ---
    Almighty Push!
[19:49] ---
    Where did he go?!
[19:59] ---
    Almighty Push!
[20:10] ---
    It isn't going to be that easy.
    Fool, ya fool!
[20:16] ---
    Lariat!
[20:19] ---
    Gakido!
[20:31] ---
    Are you absorbing chakra?
[20:34] ---
    Octopops, you okay?
[20:47] ---
    Ningendo!
[20:55] ---
    What…
[20:59] ---
    …is this?!
[22:37] ---
    Planetary Devastation!
    He got me with this jutsu once!
    
    
[22:40] ---
    It's super bad ya' know!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    If you get caught in it, it's over!
    
    
[22:44] ---
    Hey, Naruto, if it's a sure death,
    how come you're still alive?
    
    
[22:51] ---
    In that case, we'll be all right!
    We'll get through this fight!
    
    
[22:53] ---
    Hey! This is no time to be laughing!
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Acknowledged One"
    
    
[23:00] ---
    THE ACKNOWLEDGED ONE
    
    Every jutsu has
    a weakness!
