**[00:34] ---**
*I had nothing…*
**[00:41] ---**
*This is still not enough…*
**[00:47] ---**
*This is still not me!*
**[00:55] ---**
That's why…
I've kept adding onto myself.
**[01:01] ---**
That's why I don't need
your lectures.
**[01:04] ---**
I need your abilities and intel.
**[01:07] ---**
Not only are you
a Leaf Shinobi,
**[01:09] ---**
you're of the famed
Uchiha bloodline.
**[01:12] ---**
You possess the Sharingan that
has awakened the Mangekyo…
**[01:16] ---**
You bore many secrets
and stopped a war…
**[01:18] ---**
You had many jutsu
and much power.
**[01:23] ---**
Itachi, you possessed many things
that made you who you are.
**[01:27] ---**
There is no finer Reanimation
out there of mine than you.
**[01:33] ---**
And my pawns are
part of my power!
**[01:36] ---**
You exaggerate…
**[01:39] ---**
The reality is, I failed.
**[01:43] ---**
No, even though I mocked
the Uchiha name in front of you earlier,
**[01:49] ---**
I'm still quite envious
of that name.
**[01:52] ---**
The Uchiha name merely
identifies one's bloodline
**[01:55] ---**
and clan membership.
**[01:57] ---**
So it's meaningless for you
to claim it.
**[02:09] ---**
*I was nobody.*
**[02:15] ---**
*I had nothing.*
**[02:19] ---**
*I bet he's from that city…*
**[02:21] ---**
*where that recent battle was!*
**[02:24] ---**
*Where are your parents?*
**[02:28] ---**
*Don't worry.*
**[02:30] ---**
*I may not look it, but I know*
*some Medical Ninjutsu.*
**[02:36] ---**
*How about…Kabuto?*
**[02:39] ---**
*Sounds simple.*
**[02:40] ---**
*That was quick.*
**[02:41] ---**
*You called it by just how he looks.*
**[02:42] ---**
*It's best not to overthink things.*
**[02:45] ---**
*Until I was given a name…*
**[02:47] ---**
*and a place to call home…*
**[02:50] ---**
Claiming a name is meaningless?
**[02:53] ---**
No… It does hold meaning.
**[02:58] ---**
Are you sure we can't kill him?
**[03:01] ---**
We're stuck playing catch-up!
**[03:02] ---**
I told you no!
**[03:05] ---**
He controls the battlefield right now.
**[03:06] ---**
Be patient.
**[03:07] ---**
Is the Izanami still not ready?
**[03:10] ---**
He's about to come after us!
**[03:16] ---**
I'm already on him.
**[03:18] ---**
It's just going to take
a little more time.
**[03:21] ---**
Lord Orochimaru said thusly…
**[03:24] ---**
*Sakon! Demon Twin Jutsu!*
**[03:28] ---**
*Jirobo! Earth Style:*
*Terra Shield!*
**[03:39] ---**
"If you want to know who
and what you are,
**[03:42] ---**
"all you need to do is gather
every single thing
**[03:45] ---**
"and piece of information
that exists in this world!"
**[03:49] ---**
*Kidomaru!*
**[03:51] ---**
*Spiral Web!*
**[03:55] ---**
These threads can't be cut
with a blade!
**[03:57] ---**
– Amaterasu!
– Amaterasu!
**[04:03] ---**
*Kimimaro!*
**[04:06] ---**
*Macabre Bone Pulse!*
*Bracken Dance!*
**[04:11] ---**
He's laid down the spider silk
all the way to the back.
**[04:14] ---**
I'll get the one behind us!
Take the front, Brother!
**[04:16] ---**
Can you still use the Susano'o?
**[04:18] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:18] ---**
*Inferno Style! Flame Control!*
**[04:30] ---**
Running away to the back?
**[04:33] ---**
Well, it's no use!
**[04:36] ---**
*Tayuya! Demon Flute:*
*Chains of Fantasia!*
**[04:43] ---**
Are you okay, Sasu—?!
**[04:50] ---**
A genjutsu, huh?
**[04:52] ---**
Even your specialty, Susano'o,
cannot stifle sound…
**[04:56] ---**
I knew it…
**[04:59] ---**
Now you're immobilized.
**[05:01] ---**
All that's left is…
**[05:04] ---**
to take you into me
using Lord Orochimaru!
**[06:38] ---**
*The Izanami Activated*
**[06:47] ---**
Well, Sasuke…
**[06:49] ---**
Do you recognize
this current form of mine?
**[06:54] ---**
*That's…!*
**[06:56] ---**
Thanks to you, I was finally
able to take
**[06:59] ---**
Lord Orochimaru into my body
after you killed him!
**[07:08] ---**
Yes, this is my true form…
**[07:13] ---**
Remember, I said that all the laws
and principles of Nature,
**[07:15] ---**
which Lord Orochimaru researched
and compiled for so long…
**[07:17] ---**
are now stored and
being used inside of me.
**[07:23] ---**
The only thing that was missing…
was Lord Orochimaru himself!
**[07:28] ---**
Now, I have him inside me!
**[07:32] ---**
I can't thank you enough, Sasuke!
**[07:36] ---**
Kabuto…
**[07:37] ---**
You are not Orochimaru.
**[07:40] ---**
It's fine to imitate someone
you respect…
**[07:43] ---**
But don't remake yourself
into him, to that extent.
**[07:50] ---**
The majority of people start out
by mimicking someone.
**[07:55] ---**
Like how Sasuke mimicked you.
**[08:21] ---**
*Wow, Brother!*
**[08:23] ---**
*You nailed every target,*
**[08:24] ---**
*even the one in the blind spot*
*behind the rock!*
**[08:26] ---**
*All right, my turn!*
**[08:28] ---**
*Sasuke!*
**[08:29] ---**
*It's time to go.*
**[08:32] ---**
*You said that you would teach me*
*a new shuriken jutsu.*
**[08:36] ---**
*I have an important mission tomorrow*
*that I must prepare for.*
**[08:41] ---**
*You're a liar…*
**[08:50] ---**
*Sorry, Sasuke.*
**[08:51] ---**
– *Maybe some other time.*
– *Ow!*
**[08:56] ---**
*Big Brother, watch this!*
**[08:59] ---**
*Hey!*
**[09:01] ---**
*Don't be reckless…*
**[09:15] ---**
*Keep at it and become great*
*like your brother.*
**[09:20] ---**
*Father… I…*
**[09:24] ---**
*I wanted you to say that*
*you were proud of me.*
**[09:31] ---**
Such behavior is merely a process
to help one mature!
**[09:35] ---**
Don't use it as a cloak
to deceive yourself,
**[09:37] ---**
like you've done!
**[09:41] ---**
You gain nothing when
you attach your self-value
**[09:44] ---**
to something external that's admirable
and praiseworthy to you.
**[09:52] ---**
I'll say this one last time.
**[09:54] ---**
Don't mislead yourself with lies.
**[09:57] ---**
Those who cannot acknowledge
themselves will invariably fail.
**[10:03] ---**
Fail? The way I am now?
**[10:08] ---**
How?!
**[10:12] ---**
Sasuke… Look into my eyes!
**[10:16] ---**
I understand!
**[10:18] ---**
*Genjutsu… Sharingan!*
**[10:19] ---**
*Tsukuyomi!*
**[10:40] ---**
I shall now engage the Izanami.
**[10:43] ---**
You have already…failed.
**[10:52] ---**
Is it over?
**[11:10] ---**
A genius that had everything
would never understand…
**[11:15] ---**
I just want to be who
and what I am!
**[11:20] ---**
I won't let anyone stop me.
**[11:37] ---**
Sa…suke…
**[11:47] ---**
*Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!*
**[11:50] ---**
*Water Style: Giant Waterfall!*
**[12:32] ---**
The same moves.
**[12:34] ---**
As expected…
It makes it easy for me to counter.
**[12:37] ---**
I already told you that as long as
I have my power of recovery,
**[12:42] ---**
wounding me is meaningless.
**[12:45] ---**
Since I shut off my vision,
genjutsu won't work on me.
**[12:50] ---**
You have no chance of winning.
**[12:53] ---**
Your fate is already in my hands.
**[12:57] ---**
Thanks to the Uchiha's other
Forbidden Jutsu.
**[13:00] ---**
That is…
**[13:05] ---**
Well then…
**[13:06] ---**
Shall we put that to the test?!
**[13:12] ---**
…the Izanami!
**[13:18] ---**
Sasuke, do not leave my side.
**[13:23] ---**
Why this is just like déjà vu.
**[13:27] ---**
I'm bored…
**[13:29] ---**
Let's end this fight already.
**[13:33] ---**
Your fate may be in my hands now…
**[13:36] ---**
but you're the only one
who can truly decide
**[13:39] ---**
how that fate shapes your destiny.
**[13:42] ---**
Remember what I've told you.
**[13:45] ---**
And think hard.
**[13:48] ---**
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
**[13:52] ---**
Enough of your word games.
**[13:55] ---**
I will have everything…
I am the strongest of all!
**[13:59] ---**
That is fact!
**[14:03] ---**
He who forgives oneself,
who can acknowledge one's true self…
**[14:08] ---**
is the most powerful of all!
**[14:13] ---**
Losers…
**[14:16] ---**
should be quiet!
**[14:25] ---**
*This is…*
**[14:29] ---**
*What's…going on?*
**[14:45] ---**
*Why? That horn's already*
*been cut off!*
**[14:49] ---**
*How? I have no sight…*
**[14:53] ---**
*I should be invulnerable to genjutsu.*
**[14:55] ---**
*But this is clearly a…!*
**[15:16] ---**
What did you do to me?!
**[15:19] ---**
You're in my Visual Jutsu.
**[15:23] ---**
Impossible!
**[15:27] ---**
It's the Izanami!
**[15:31] ---**
*How…?*
**[15:33] ---**
No matter.
**[15:36] ---**
No one can stop me!
**[15:38] ---**
There's nothing I can't do!
**[16:02] ---**
I told you…
**[16:04] ---**
I hold your fate in my hands.
**[16:07] ---**
Itachi Uchiha!
**[16:19] ---**
*If this is a genjutsu…*
**[16:24] ---**
Release!
**[16:52] ---**
*Calm down…*
**[16:53] ---**
*This is an Uchiha Genjutsu.*
**[16:55] ---**
*Moreover, Itachi cast it,*
*so it won't be easy to undo.*
**[17:00] ---**
*But there are many ways*
*to undo a genjutsu!*
**[17:03] ---**
It's useless.
**[17:05] ---**
Recall my words to you.
**[17:07] ---**
Sure! I'll copy the same trick
you two used!
**[17:17] ---**
Tayuya! Demon Flute:
Chains of Fantasia!
**[17:23] ---**
*This will switch from Itachi's control*
*over genjutsu*
**[17:25] ---**
*to Tayuya's control.*
**[17:40] ---**
Then, I'll do this!
**[17:42] ---**
Sage Art… Inorganic Animation!
**[17:55] ---**
This area is under my control!
**[17:58] ---**
I'll retreat for now…
**[18:12] ---**
Damn it!
**[18:14] ---**
Don't mess with me!
**[18:25] ---**
He cannot escape
this samsara, this loop.
**[18:31] ---**
This is the other Forbidden Jutsu…
the companion to Izanagi.
**[18:38] ---**
The jutsu that decides one's fate…
**[18:42] ---**
This is the Izanami.
**[18:57] ---**

**[22:38] ---**
So Kabuto's trapped in
your loop now?
**[22:41] ---**
The Izanami is a jutsu meant
for stopping the Izanagi.
**[22:45] ---**
There's an escape route built
into the loop.
**[22:48] ---**
What does that mean?
**[22:49] ---**
What I'm going to tell you now is
a part of the Uchiha's history,
**[22:51] ---**
of how the companion to the Izanagi,
the Izanami came to be.
**[22:56] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"Izanagi and Izanami"
**[23:01] ---**
The Uchiha Clan, and
their history of conflict.
**[23:04] ---**
IZANAGI AND IZANAMI

Tune in again!
