[00:08] ---
    It makes it easier to cast
    my real Visual Genjutsu on him
[00:10] ---
    by keeping him trapped in
    a small loop like this.
[00:14] ---
    So Kabuto's trapped in
    your loop now?
[00:19] ---
    And that's the Izanami?
[00:23] ---
    When did you cast it?
[00:25] ---
    The first time Kabuto stabbed me
    with that blade.
[00:35] ---
    Back then, huh?
[00:37] ---
    But how?
[00:40] ---
    You mentioned a Visual Jutsu
    that is possible without sight.
[00:45] ---
    How can Visual Jutsu work
    without eyesight?
[00:48] ---
    Izanami is a Visual Jutsu that
    works with the physical senses
[00:51] ---
    of both yourself and your opponents.
[00:55] ---
    The physical senses of two people?
[00:59] ---
    As you are battling your opponent,
    you take a record, like a photograph,
[01:02] ---
    of the physical senses that
    both you and your opponent
[01:06] ---
    are feeling during that instant,
    with your Visual Jutsu.
[01:09] ---
    We'll call that A.
[01:12] ---
    As time progresses,
[01:14] ---
    you find "B" is a more
    important moment,
[01:16] ---
    then you record "C" and
    so on with Sharingan.
[01:20] ---
    Then you recreate
    those exact physical senses.
[01:23] ---
    So you're using your powers to
    create an exact copy of A.
[01:28] ---
    We'll call this A'.
[01:30] ---
    FLOW OF TIME
    By overlaying
    and connecting A to A',
[01:33] ---
    FLOW OF TIME
    the Izanami also links
    a path for B' and C'
[01:37] ---
    FLOW OF TIME
    to create fluctuations within
    a fixed time.
[01:40] ---
    In other words, it's the power
    to create an infinite loop.
[01:44] ---
    Naturally, all in exchange for
    one's own sight of course,
[01:47] ---
    exactly like Izanagi.
[01:50] ---
    So Kabuto's consciousness
    is trapped inside
[01:53] ---
    fighting a phantom you and
    a phantom me for all eternity.
[01:59] ---
    No.
[02:00] ---
    There is an escape route built
    into the jutsu.
[02:05] ---
    The Izanami was developed
    to admonish
[02:08] ---
    and save an Izanagi user.
[02:12] ---
    What does that mean?
[02:14] ---
    You know a little about
    the Izanagi already.
[02:18] ---
    It's called the perfect
    Uchiha Visual Jutsu
[02:21] ---
    designed to change destiny.
[02:24] ---
    If something does not go
    the way you want it to,
[02:26] ---
    you can just erase that outcome
    and start all over.
[02:29] ---
    Ultimately, you can pick
    and choose
[02:32] ---
    the most desirable end result.
[02:36] ---
    What I'm about to tell you now
    is the story
[02:39] ---
    of the Uchiha's Izanami,
    and how it came to be.
[02:44] ---
    I want you to know this too.
[02:47] ---
    The Uchiha's Izanami…
    the story of its creation?
[04:22] ---
    Izanagi and Izanami
    
    
    
[04:28] ---
    Long ago, there was
    a great battle
[04:30] ---
    that the Uchiha Clan could not
    afford to lose.
[04:33] ---
    The Izanagi tuned out
    to be invaluable.
[04:38] ---
    Go!
[04:54] ---
    Damn it! They had set a trap!
[05:03] ---
    What?!
[05:05] ---
    Die!
[05:12] ---
    As long as we have the Izanagi,
    we can't lose!
[05:22] ---
    However…
[05:23] ---
    There's a bigger risk than
    just blindness
[05:25] ---
    to a jutsu that allows the casters
    to choose their own ending.
[05:30] ---
    Most who used this overly
    powerful Visual Jutsu
[05:33] ---
    could not handle it and
    abused their power.
[05:37] ---
    It was fine,
[05:38] ---
    as long as there was
    only one user of the Izanagi.
[05:40] ---
    However, when two or more used it,
[05:43] ---
    there was a scramble
    within the Uchiha Clan
[05:46] ---
    to see who could get the best result.
[05:48] ---
    You are not the only one
    who can use Izanagi!
[05:53] ---
    I don't like you bossing us around!
[05:58] ---
    But I'm the one who
    accomplished it!
[06:01] ---
    In the shinobi world,
    results count for everything!
[06:04] ---
    Well then…
    I shall rewrite that result…
[06:10] ---
    with my Izanagi!
[06:20] ---
    You're only talk.
[06:22] ---
    I shall rule the Uchiha…
    no, the entire shinobi world…
[06:28] ---
    with my Izanagi!
[06:33] ---
    I'll take over your wish…
[06:37] ---
    with my Izanagi!
[07:03] ---
    What was created
[07:04] ---
    in order to stop this inter-clan
    rivalry over the Izanagi…
[07:09] ---
    is the Izanami.
[07:15] ---
    Normal vision-based genjutsu
    is powerless
[07:18] ---
    against Visual Prowess…
[07:25] ---
    If you intend to oppose me too,
[07:28] ---
    I have no choice.
[07:42] ---
    There has to be a way to
    settle this without fighting.
[07:46] ---
    My hands are already stained
    with blood.
[07:49] ---
    As if I'm going to stop!
[07:52] ---
    You don't know yourself!
[07:55] ---
    You don't know your own true strength!
[07:59] ---
    Oh, shut up!
[08:16] ---
    It's not too late to
    turn back right now!
[08:19] ---
    If you have the will,
    take my hand!
[08:24] ---
    I won't be fooled!
[08:42] ---
    If you still refuse to listen,
    I'm prepared as well.
[09:00] ---
    Sneaking up behind me, nice work!
[09:03] ---
    But as long as I have Izanagi,
    you cannot beat me!
[09:08] ---
    It's over for you!
[09:37] ---
    I don't believe this!
[09:39] ---
    My right eye…
[09:41] ---
    I should have gone blind
    with the Izanagi!
[09:44] ---
    The Izanagi that you depend on so much
    will not protect you.
[09:48] ---
    Shut up!
[09:52] ---
    N-Not… Not yet!
[09:57] ---
    In the first place,
[09:58] ---
    reality is a product of chance
    that we call fate.
[10:01] ---
    We can't predict it.
[10:04] ---
    But Izanagi can twist around
    an inconvenient reality
[10:07] ---
    and lead it to a new fate.
[10:10] ---
    REALITY
    
    At a whim,
[10:12] ---
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    the user can change
    the original reality into a new one.
[10:14] ---
    NEW REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    the user can change
    the original reality into a new one.
[10:16] ---
    NEW REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    To the enemy,
    a fallen opponent will revive,
[10:16] ---
    ANOTHER REALITY
    IZANAGI ACTIVATED
    
    To the enemy,
    a fallen opponent will revive,
[10:19] ---
    so it's an intolerable jutsu.
[10:21] ---
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    The Izanami is set up to take someone
    who is using the Izanagi
[10:23] ---
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    to change the outcome
    to benefit oneself,
[10:26] ---
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    and cause them to endlessly
    circle around in a loop.
[10:31] ---
    I believed that Izanagi was
    the ultimate Visual Jutsu.
[10:35] ---
    But that means the Izanami is
    a far superior Visual Jutsu.
[10:39] ---
    Izanami forms a loop
[10:42] ---
    around the physical sensation
    of Izanagi twisting reality.
[10:46] ---
    The Izanami is a jutsu meant
    for stopping the Izanagi.
[10:49] ---
    There's an escape route built
    into the loop.
[10:57] ---
    Originally, it was a jutsu
    to save Uchiha comrades
[11:00] ---
    from arrogance and negligence.
[11:03] ---
    It's to stop you from taking
    the easy way out with jutsu.
[11:25] ---
    Why?!
[11:27] ---
    There's no destiny that
    Izanagi cannot change!
[11:31] ---
    Accept the things you've done,
[11:34] ---
    and take hold of the future
    that awaits you!
[11:40] ---
    There's no way I can be forgiven
    for the blood on my hands.
[11:44] ---
    Still…
[11:45] ---
    Take hold of it!
[12:03] ---
    I won't rely on Izanagi anymore.
[12:12] ---
    I'll accept reality
    and move forward…
[12:34] ---
    IZANAMI ACTIVATED
    
    Once one accepts the original outcome
    and stops trying to run from it,
[12:37] ---
    REALITY
    
    the loop will stop.
[12:41] ---
    This jutsu guides you toward
    accepting your fate,
[12:44] ---
    instead of relying on jutsu
    to change it.
[12:47] ---
    But a jutsu that has an escape
    is too dangerous to use in actual combat.
[12:51] ---
    That's why Izanami is
    a Forbidden Jutsu.
[12:55] ---
    If Kabuto stops trying
    to transform himself,
[12:59] ---
    he can stop the loop.
[13:05] ---
    The strife-filled history
    of the Uchiha…
[13:09] ---
    The arrogance and recklessness
    of those who used Izanagi…
[13:16] ---
    and how they clashed and
    were stopped by Izanami…
[13:22] ---
    I understand now
[13:24] ---
    why both Izanagi and Izanami
    came to be Forbidden Jutsu.
[13:27] ---
    And I see how one must learn
    from the past
[13:29] ---
    and accept one's fate
    and move on.
[13:35] ---
    But…
[13:36] ---
    But why bother casting this
    on Kabuto?
[13:41] ---
    If there's a way to escape…
[13:43] ---
    He reminds me of the old me.
[13:47] ---
    He thinks by acquiring all there is,
[13:49] ---
    he can accomplish
    whatever he wants.
[13:52] ---
    He makes himself
    believe that he can't fail,
[13:56] ---
    and lies to himself.
[13:59] ---
    I stopped listening to anyone else.
    I stopped trusting anyone.
[14:05] ---
    In Kabuto's case,
    he is so deluded
[14:09] ---
    that he thinks all these powers
    are his and his alone.
[14:14] ---
    I empathize with him.
[14:17] ---
    We were both used by
    the shinobi world…
[14:20] ---
    He can neither forgive himself
    nor accept himself for what he truly is.
[14:25] ---
    What he is doing is certainly wrong.
[14:28] ---
    But he's not completely to blame
    for not being able to realize that.
[14:34] ---
    My chance has passed,
[14:37] ---
    but he can still forgive himself
    before he dies.
[14:40] ---
    Why would you ever feel
    like you need to help him do that?
[14:45] ---
    He is not like you.
    You were perfect!
[14:49] ---
    Sasuke…
[14:51] ---
    I tried to control you
    with the Visual Jutsu
[14:54] ---
    called Koto Amatsukami.
[14:59] ---
    I treated you like a child
[15:01] ---
    because I thought you
    needed my protection.
[15:04] ---
    I didn't trust your strength.
[15:08] ---
    It may be that
[15:09] ---
    a perfect being does not
    exist at all in the world.
[15:14] ---
    Sometimes two who seem
    to be opposites
[15:16] ---
    are actually two sides
    of the same coin.
[15:18] ---
    They can only succeed when
    they actually work together.
[15:24] ---
    Like the Izanagi and Izanami.
[15:27] ---
    Look at me,
[15:29] ---
    and find in yourself what
    I was unable to find in myself.
[15:33] ---
    Do not say I was perfect.
[15:38] ---
    First of all…
[15:48] ---
    Impossible!
[15:50] ---
    I will be a perfect being!
[15:54] ---
    This is…not me!
[15:58] ---
    How long will you
    imitate Orochimaru?
[16:03] ---
    If you want to exit this loop,
    reexamine your mistakes!
[16:07] ---
    Shut up!
[16:09] ---
    I know he's going to come at me
    with a Fire Style Jutsu.
[16:12] ---
    Water Style…
    Water Dragon…
[16:13] ---
    Water Style…
    Water Dragon Missile!
[16:19] ---
    He anticipated that jutsu
    with Sharingan!
[16:37] ---
    How did I get this wrong?
[16:40] ---
    Where did I…
    make a mistake?
[16:45] ---
    All I ever wanted was someone…
[16:48] ---
    to appreciate…
[16:50] ---
    who I was!
[16:53] ---
    All I wanted was to
    be acknowledged!
[16:58] ---
    Where is the mistake in that?!
[17:04] ---
    First of all…
[17:06] ---
    you had to accept yourself
    as you were.
[17:10] ---
    Then you wouldn't have
    had to lie to anyone.
[17:14] ---
    To you…or to me.
[17:17] ---
    If you lie to yourself,
    how can you have friends?
[17:20] ---
    How can you trust or
    be trustworthy?
[17:23] ---
    Lies will keep you from
    ever seeing your true self.
[17:29] ---
    If I wasn't trapped here…
[17:33] ---
    I'd have won this war by now.
[17:36] ---
    I'd be sleeping by now.
[17:41] ---
    Damn you, Itachi!
[17:58] ---
    It's 9 o'clock already?
[18:00] ---
    Something wrong?
[18:01] ---
    No…
[18:03] ---
    I just wish we could
    wrap this up quickly
[18:05] ---
    so I could get a good night's sleep.
[18:07] ---
    They never tell us lackeys
    what's going on.
[18:14] ---
    That's true.
[18:16] ---
    So, what are you gonna do
    when this war is over?
[18:20] ---
    Well, I'll start by going home.
[18:23] ---
    If the war ends and
[18:25] ---
    the Five Great Nations
    continue to be allies…
[18:28] ---
    then maybe my little brother who's been
    on a mission for a long time,
[18:31] ---
    can finally come home.
[18:34] ---
    I envy those who have
    a home to return to…
[18:39] ---
    You want to come with me?
[18:42] ---
    Huh?
[18:43] ---
    My home is an orphanage.
[18:46] ---
    And if my kid brother's back,
    he can take a look at your wounds.
[18:50] ---
    I appreciate that, Urushi!
[18:54] ---
    I really hope
    you come back this time…
[19:00] ---
    Kabuto.
[19:10] ---
    I'll stop the Reanimation Jutsu now.
[19:18] ---
    And…all the reanimated dead
    will fade away.
[19:23] ---
    That should end the war.
[19:27] ---
    But…
[19:30] ---
    you'll be gone too, Brother.
[19:32] ---
    I'll have protected my village as
[19:36] ---
    Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf
    once again.
[19:39] ---
    I have no more regrets.
[19:42] ---
    Why?!
[19:43] ---
    Why help the very village that
    put you where you are now?
[19:48] ---
    You may be able to forgive,
    but I cannot!
[19:51] ---
    You have no more regrets?
[19:53] ---
    What about what
    you've made me become?!
[20:05] ---
    I leave Sasuke to you.
[20:08] ---
    I tried to do everything myself…
    and I failed.
[20:13] ---
    This time… I will leave it
    to my comrades.
[20:19] ---
    I'm not the one who can
    change you, Sasuke.
[20:24] ---
    But I can stop this jutsu.
[20:30] ---
    That will fulfill my promise
    to Naruto, at least.
[20:37] ---
    I will stop the Reanimation Jutsu!
[20:39] ---
    Tell me the signs!
[20:42] ---
    Tsukuyomi!
[20:55] ---
    I kept my promise.
[20:57] ---
    I leave the rest to you…Naruto.
[22:38] ---
    I hate the Leaf Village for causing
    you so much pain!
    
    
[22:42] ---
    I hate it more than ever!
    
    
[22:45] ---
    It's because I'm your brother that,
    
    
[22:47] ---
    no matter what you say,
    you're not going to stop me!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    Even if you protect the village now,
    
    
[22:53] ---
    I will still destroy it some day.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "I Will Love You Always"
    
    
    
[23:01] ---
    Good bye…Big Brother.
    
    
    
[23:03] ---
    I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS
    
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
