[01:30] ---
    Kabuto Yakushi
[01:35] ---
    If you want to know who you are…
[01:37] ---
    You must re-examine and
    acknowledge your true self.
[01:42] ---
    Those who cannot acknowledge
    themselves will fail…
[01:47] ---
    Just like I did.
[01:53] ---
    I was nobody…
[01:58] ---
    and had nothing
    from the very beginning.
[02:11] ---
    Kabuto, are you able
    to keep going?
[02:13] ---
    Yes, Mother!
[02:17] ---
    I know it's for the sake
    of the orphanage,
[02:19] ---
    but why do we have
    to help shinobi like them?
[02:22] ---
    Doing nothing doesn't
    bring in money…
[02:26] ---
    Urushi, could you get more bandages?
[02:28] ---
    Yeah, sure!
[02:34] ---
    You're not a shinobi,
[02:36] ---
    but you're quite skilled
    at Medical Ninjutsu…
[02:40] ---
    Mother taught me.
[02:43] ---
    You said your name was Kabuto?
[02:46] ---
    Why don't you become a shinobi?
[02:49] ---
    You'd make a good one…
[02:52] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[02:54] ---
    I'm not interested in that.
[02:57] ---
    I just want to help raise money
    for the orphanage
[03:00] ---
    and help Mother there.
[03:04] ---
    She's done so much for me…
[03:06] ---
    but I've only been able to repay her
    with a pair of eyeglasses…
[03:10] ---
    Really? What a shame.
[03:17] ---
    You were known
    as the Wandering Nun,
[03:20] ---
    and now you're just a babysitter.
[03:24] ---
    It's been a while
    since I last saw you,
[03:27] ---
    but you're looking a little tired, Nonou.
[03:30] ---
    I cast aside that name long ago.
[03:33] ---
    Talks with the Leaf for
    monetary aid were concluded.
[03:39] ---
    So why are you here now?
[03:41] ---
    It seems the Espionage Unit's
    former top spy
[03:44] ---
    stopped knowing things after
    she left the Foundation.
[03:48] ---
    We did not come here only
    in regard to the aid money.
[03:52] ---
    In this time of war,
[03:54] ---
    we have obtained intel that
    the Hidden Stone are plotting
[03:56] ---
    some sort of large-scale operation.
[03:59] ---
    We want you to infiltrate
    the Hidden Stone
[04:02] ---
    and verify the validity of this intel.
[04:06] ---
    And if it does turn out to be true,
[04:08] ---
    you are to investigate what
    this operation entails
[04:11] ---
    and where it will occur
    and report back to us.
[04:16] ---
    This will likely be
    a long-term mission.
[04:19] ---
    Then you've come
    to the wrong person.
[04:22] ---
    I'm no longer…
[04:23] ---
    You people don't understand
    just how essential Mother is
[04:27] ---
    to this orphanage and
    to the children!
[04:30] ---
    She has done her utmost
    to protect this orphanage.
[04:34] ---
    Such a dangerous task!
[04:36] ---
    You Foundation people ought
    to do it yourselves.
[04:38] ---
    Why must you come
    and bother her?
[04:40] ---
    The Wandering Nun is the only one
[04:43] ---
    we can entrust
    this long-term mission to.
[04:46] ---
    Currently, no one in the Foundation
    has her espionage skills.
[04:53] ---
    Most would likely break or
    end up switching allegiances.
[04:58] ---
    I know that she's a Kunoichi
[05:00] ---
    who would never sell out
    the Hidden Leaf…
[05:04] ---
    From that expression,
[05:05] ---
    I can tell you've already
    guessed it, Nonou.
[05:09] ---
    Yes, if you refuse,
    this clinic will stop receiving funding.
[05:13] ---
    That's not fair!
[05:14] ---
    This was already settled
    with the Third Hokage!
[05:17] ---
    You cannot do this!
[05:19] ---
    This orphanage looks easy
    to break into and rob…
[05:23] ---
    You should hire bodyguards
    to prevent robbers
[05:26] ---
    from stealing your money.
[05:28] ---
    That is, if you can afford any.
[05:31] ---
    While you're at it,
[05:32] ---
    take care that your children
    don't get snatched either.
[05:36] ---
    Children with no past or family
    are worth something.
[05:40] ---
    You're all rotten!
[05:42] ---
    How dare you call
    yourselves shinobi?!
[05:44] ---
    You're the ones
    who don't understand!
[05:49] ---
    It's a small price to pay
    to protect the Hidden Leaf!
[05:55] ---
    I understand.
[05:56] ---
    Wait, Mother…!
[05:57] ---
    It's come to this because
    you couldn't kill your emotions.
[06:01] ---
    You weren't suited for
    the Foundation, after all.
[06:04] ---
    How dare you…!
[06:08] ---
    Also, I've already lost a subordinate
    obtaining this intel…
[06:13] ---
    I'll be taking one of the children here
    to take his place.
[06:17] ---
    How far will you go?
[06:18] ---
    I said I'd accept the mission!
[06:21] ---
    This is a separate matter.
[06:23] ---
    Your mission shall cover
    subsequent payments.
[06:26] ---
    But this current one is
    in exchange for the child.
[06:29] ---
    Some children actually wish to
    become a Leaf Shinobi, after all.
[06:36] ---
    You should ask them
    to choose for themselves.
[06:39] ---
    There may just be one such child.
[06:59] ---
    Why, Kabuto?
[07:04] ---
    I think I'm suited to be a ninja.
[07:07] ---
    Besides, I want to hone
    my Medical Ninjutsu.
[07:09] ---
    Kabuto! You're just going to throw away
    the three years you spent with us?!
[07:12] ---
    Come back here!
[07:15] ---
    Have you forgotten
    the house rules, everyone?
[07:22] ---
    It's way past lights-out.
[07:59] ---
    It's no use. I'm surrounded.
[08:07] ---
    If I hadn't messed up,
    I'd be in bed by now.
[08:13] ---
    It's been five years since
    I left the orphanage.
[08:16] ---
    *I wish I could've seen Mother and
    everyone else one last time…
[08:44] ---
    Mother!
[08:46] ---
    No! Why are you here?
[08:54] ---
    We want you to infiltrate
    the Hidden Stone…
[08:58] ---
    The Wandering Nun is the only one
[09:01] ---
    we can entrust this
    long-term mission to.
[09:04] ---
    Don't tell me…you were still
    on that last mission?!
[09:10] ---
    Why are you healing my wounds?
[09:14] ---
    Who are you…?
[09:16] ---
    It's me, Mother!
[09:22] ---
    It's Kabuto!
    Don't worry, I'll save you.
[09:36] ---
    Who…are you…?
[09:54] ---
    This way!
[09:58] ---
    Damn it! Nanigashi's been killed!
[10:12] ---
    Mother didn't know me? Why?
[10:15] ---
    Why didn't she remember me?
    Why?
[10:21] ---
    If she doesn't remember me,
    then who was I all this time?
[10:25] ---
    What were all those things
    I received from Mother?
[10:29] ---
    My name, that I was
    one of Mother's children,
[10:33] ---
    even these glasses…
[10:40] ---
    Who…
[10:43] ---
    are you?
[10:48] ---
    This isn't me…
[10:51] ---
    This isn't the real me…
[10:55] ---
    It seems you no longer
    see yourself clearly.
[11:06] ---
    You've become a fine shinobi.
[11:09] ---
    I remember you…Kabuto.
[11:15] ---
    A-Aren't you…?!
[11:17] ---
    I've been watching you
    this whole time.
[11:22] ---
    Along with Nonou.
[11:24] ---
    Come with me.
[11:26] ---
    Then I'll tell you everything
    you want to know.
[11:31] ---
    What I want to know?
    What does that mean?
[11:34] ---
    Why Mother targeted you…
[11:37] ---
    and why she didn't
    remember you at all.
[11:43] ---
    Don't you want to know…all that?
[11:55] ---
    This is my hideout.
    No one knows about it.
[12:00] ---
    Which means you are
    my very first visitor.
[12:06] ---
    Why did you bring me here?!
[12:09] ---
    What are you going to do with me?
[12:10] ---
    You are becoming
    more and more curious.
[12:15] ---
    That's a good thing.
[12:17] ---
    People can never escape
    their curiosity.
[12:21] ---
    Which is why you followed me here.
[12:25] ---
    Then tell me quickly!
[12:27] ---
    You know what I want to know,
    don't you?
[12:31] ---
    To be frank, the Foundation
    had decided
[12:34] ---
    to dispose of both you and Mother.
[12:39] ---
    What do you mean?!
[12:40] ---
    You both were too brilliant
    as spies.
[12:47] ---
    You ended up knowing too much.
[12:50] ---
    What?!
[12:51] ---
    We risked our lives for so long,
[12:54] ---
    gathering intel for
    the sake of the village…
[12:56] ---
    And this is what we get?
[12:57] ---
    At times, intel becomes
    even more powerful
[13:00] ---
    than the mightiest jutsu or weapon.
[13:03] ---
    You are seen as a very dangerous
    person right now.
[13:07] ---
    Well, your fate had been decided
    from the very beginning…
[13:13] ---
    It was in the scenario
[13:14] ---
    for you to kill each other in
    a mutual strike.
[13:19] ---
    Right after you left the orphanage,
[13:21] ---
    Danzo revealed to Mother
    the real reason why you had left.
[13:27] ---
    That you sacrificed yourself
[13:29] ---
    and joined the Foundation
    for money for the orphanage.
[13:33] ---
    Mother wished to liberate you
    from the Foundation.
[13:37] ---
    As a condition of accepting her wish,
    Danzo ordered the assassination
[13:42] ---
    of a certain person
    several years ago.
[13:46] ---
    Ironically…
[13:48] ---
    The target of the assassination…
    was you.
[13:55] ---
    I thought it was the condition
    for my release!
[13:58] ---
    Why didn't Mother realize
    it was me?!
[14:01] ---
    I told you…
[14:02] ---
    The Foundation intended
    for the two of you
[14:05] ---
    to take each other out.
[14:08] ---
    And there was other trickery afoot.
[14:11] ---
    Trickery?
[14:16] ---
    You and Mother were sent into
    separate enemy territories
[14:19] ---
    so that you two would never meet,
[14:21] ---
    and Mother was kept informed
    of your well-being
[14:25] ---
    and progress through photos.
[14:28] ---
    The photos of you
    were skillfully replaced
[14:31] ---
    with those of another
    without her noticing it.
[14:33] ---
    Over time, Mother was made
    to think someone else was you.
[14:40] ---
    Gradual brainwashing.
[14:43] ---
    A common practice used
    by the Foundation.
[14:45] ---
    That's the other Kabuto.
[14:49] ---
    And so, Nonou tried to kill you,
[14:53] ---
    never in her wildest dreams
    imagining that you were Kabuto…
[14:56] ---
    She thought you were a double agent
    who betrayed the village.
[15:01] ---
    And the Foundation dispatched you
    to deal with whoever was left…
[15:08] ---
    Is that it?
[15:10] ---
    For someone who knows
    nothing about himself…
[15:13] ---
    You're very perceptive.
[15:23] ---
    I always wanted…
    an explanation about who I was!
[15:26] ---
    And I thought
    I had finally found it!
[15:29] ---
    But thanks to you
    Foundation bastards,
[15:31] ---
    I've lost myself again!
[15:34] ---
    These glasses were
    what linked me to Mother!
[15:37] ---
    The name she gave me
    was mine and mine alone!
[15:40] ---
    Mother was supposed
    to be the parent
[15:42] ---
    that didn't forget me,
    no matter what!
[15:45] ---
    But everything's wrong!
[15:47] ---
    Then who in the world…
[15:49] ---
    am I?!
[16:04] ---
    You merely lack sufficient intel
    with which to define yourself.
[16:09] ---
    It's just that neither the glasses,
    your name,
[16:11] ---
    nor the fact that you're her child
[16:12] ---
    were things that denote
    who you really are.
[16:16] ---
    And that's fine.
[16:18] ---
    If you're not satisfied with
    what you've had so far…
[16:21] ---
    Just find other things and
    add them onto yourself,
[16:24] ---
    one by one.
[16:26] ---
    If you plan on killing me…
[16:28] ---
    why are you telling me all this?
[16:31] ---
    I also want to know who or what I am.
[16:36] ---
    And I've been collecting
    all sorts of things.
[16:43] ---
    I repeatedly experiment on
    and inspect these many things
[16:46] ---
    I've collected a little at a time…
[16:48] ---
    and store the gained knowledge
    and abilities within myself.
[16:54] ---
    And then, I undergo rebirth,
[16:57] ---
    ever evolving toward
    a more perfect me.
[16:59] ---
    Afterward, I again obtain
    even newer items.
[17:04] ---
    This time…
[17:07] ---
    it's you.
[17:11] ---
    There's no way you couldn't derive
    who you are and what you are
[17:16] ---
    by gathering all the intel and
    things that exist in this world.
[17:22] ---
    Why am I one of those things
    to you?
[17:29] ---
    Because I recognize your talent
[17:32] ---
    more than anyone else
    in this world.
[17:34] ---
    It would be a waste to kill you.
[17:37] ---
    Besides, this medical research facility
    was prepared just for you.
[17:42] ---
    What are you plotting?
[17:44] ---
    Instead of the Foundation
    which erases individuality…
[17:46] ---
    I will create an organization
    that guides individuality.
[17:49] ---
    I will create a village.
[17:51] ---
    The Village of the Hidden Sound…
    that does not belong to any nation.
[17:55] ---
    From this moment,
[17:57] ---
    you and I will desert
    the Hidden Leaf's Foundation.
[17:59] ---
    From this moment,
[18:00] ---
    I shall be your superior,
    your brother, and your parent.
[18:05] ---
    I will protect you from Danzo.
[18:09] ---
    From this moment,
[18:10] ---
    this will be your
    new personal history:
[18:14] ---
    When you were very young,
    you were found and raised
[18:16] ---
    by a Medical Corps Captain
    following the Battle at Kikyo Pass.
[18:21] ---
    After returning to work under Danzo,
[18:24] ---
    Nonou Yakushi kept her cover
    as a captain of the Medical Unit…
[18:30] ---
    and you shall be reborn today
    as her son, Kabuto Yakushi.
[18:41] ---
    I am Orochimaru.
[18:44] ---
    If you want to know
    who and what you are…
[18:47] ---
    Come…be by my side.
[19:09] ---
    There's another organization
    I want to look into…
[19:13] ---
    Please leave it to me.
[19:15] ---
    What is this organization?
[19:18] ---
    The Akatsuki.
[19:27] ---
    Bring me Orochimaru's human
    experimentation data
[19:31] ---
    and any intel on
    the Reanimation Jutsu.
[19:36] ---
    Understood, Lord Sasori.
[19:39] ---
    You are useful.
[19:42] ---
    You can erase your sound,
    your scent, even yourself.
[19:47] ---
    You're just like one of my puppets.
[20:37] ---
    If you're not satisfied with
    what you've had so far…
[20:42] ---
    Just find other things…
[20:44] ---
    and add them onto yourself,
    one by one.
[20:52] ---
    It's still…not enough…
[20:57] ---
    This is…still not me…!
[22:38] ---
    Are you sure we can't kill him?
    
    
[22:40] ---
    We're stuck playing catch-up!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    I told you no!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    He controls the battlefield
    right now. Be patient.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Is the Izanami still not ready?
    
    
[22:48] ---
    He's about to come after us!
    
    
[22:49] ---
    I'm already on him.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    It's just going to take
    a little more time.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "The Izanami Activated"
    
    
    
[22:59] ---
    I've shut off my vision,
    so genjutsu won't work on me!
    
    
    
[23:03] ---
    THE IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    
    
[23:04] ---
    Tune in again!
