**[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!
