[01:30] ---
    An Uchiha ANBU
    
    
    
[01:39] ---
    Damn it!
[01:52] ---
    As usual, your Lightning Blade
    is as brilliant as ever, Senpai.
[01:56] ---
    Brilliant?
[01:59] ---
    There's no such thing as brilliant
    or unsightly in assassination...
[02:03] ---
    A kill is a kill, that's all.
[02:08] ---
    By the way, what happened
    to the replacement?
[02:12] ---
    Our team is short a member.
[02:14] ---
    There's no rush.
[02:16] ---
    We're not in the middle
    of a war or anything.
[02:21] ---
    Sooner or later,
    someone will show up.
[02:29] ---
    Hey, Kakashi.
[02:30] ---
    What's up? You look tired.
[02:33] ---
    Did you just get off a mission?
[02:34] ---
    You're such an idiot, Guy.
[02:36] ---
    Members of the ANBU can't
    discuss details of their work!
[02:39] ---
    That's how it goes.
[02:42] ---
    We're going out for
    some sweet dumplings.
[02:45] ---
    - Care to join us?
    - Sorry, I don't really like sweets...
[02:50] ---
    He's gotten so antisocial lately.
[02:55] ---
    Maybe it's because of
    all the secrecy in the ANBU...
[02:58] ---
    No! No way!
[03:01] ---
    Kakashi is my lifelong rival.
[03:03] ---
    He's got a heart that's filled
    with burning passion.
[03:05] ---
    All right, since it's come to this,
    it's up to me to do something!
[03:10] ---
    You?
[03:12] ---
    Please let me join the ANBU!
[03:14] ---
    It's the best thing to do
    for Kakashi's sake!
[03:17] ---
    Now, now, Guy.
[03:18] ---
    I understand your concern
    for Kakashi.
[03:23] ---
    But the saying "the right person
    for the right job"
[03:25] ---
    applies to this situation...
[03:27] ---
    Your skills will not be optimized
    in the ANBU.
[03:30] ---
    It's not about what's
    good for me, Lord Third!
[03:33] ---
    As Kakashi's partner, I...
[03:35] ---
    Silence! You are not suited
    for the ANBU.
[03:45] ---
    Not...suited...
[03:54] ---
    L-Lord Danzo...
[03:56] ---
    What is it?
[03:57] ---
    Please accept me
    as one of your ANBU!
[04:01] ---
    You lack it.
[04:04] ---
    Lack what?
[04:06] ---
    Darkness.
[04:13] ---
    Darkness?
[04:27] ---
    A new member will be
    joining your team.
[04:31] ---
    Is it the one
    we previously discussed?
[04:33] ---
    Yes, he's extremely capable.
[04:36] ---
    But he's young.
[04:39] ---
    Danzo recommended that
    he gain more experience.
[04:46] ---
    Here's your equipment.
[04:50] ---
    Thank you very much.
[04:56] ---
    I've been assigned to
    the ANBU from today.
[04:59] ---
    My name is Itachi Uchiha.
[05:01] ---
    I'd appreciate your guidance.
[05:04] ---
    I see. So you're the one.
[05:06] ---
    Use the locker that's
    the farthest one in the back.
[05:08] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:12] ---
    Is that him?
[05:13] ---
    They say he's eleven years old.
[05:16] ---
    Doesn't that make him
    the youngest ANBU ever?
[05:20] ---
    Team Ro is to assemble at
    the Third Training Ground
[05:23] ---
    in five minutes.
[05:25] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:55] ---
    What are you doing?
[05:58] ---
    Explain yourselves!
[06:00] ---
    We wanted to make sure he had
    the skills to be one of us.
[06:03] ---
    Since he's too young.
[06:05] ---
    Do you have a problem with
    the decision of your superiors?
[06:08] ---
    No, it's not like that...
[06:11] ---
    Haven't you already sensed
    that he isn't ordinary?
[06:17] ---
    I'm Kakashi, captain of Team Ro.
[06:19] ---
    You're new,
[06:21] ---
    but I want you to learn the ANBU
    rules and formations quickly.
[06:24] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:46] ---
    He's good.
[06:48] ---
    He is talented,
    but making an exception
[06:50] ---
    for someone so young is
    rather unusual for the ANBU.
[06:54] ---
    Lord Danzo recommended him.
[06:56] ---
    No kidding?
    He doesn't fit the mold though.
[07:00] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:02] ---
    Lord Danzo has
    his own personal set of criteria
[07:05] ---
    for ANBU and Foundation agents.
[07:07] ---
    And?
[07:08] ---
    I just can't see him...
[07:21] ---
    I started my duties today.
[07:23] ---
    Is that so? That's my boy.
[07:26] ---
    I'm very proud that
    you've joined the ANBU.
[07:31] ---
    But you must never
    forget one thing.
[07:34] ---
    Before you are a Leaf ANBU,
[07:37] ---
    you are first and foremost,
    Itachi of the Uchiha Clan.
[07:39] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:40] ---
    The Uchiha Clan has been entrusted
[07:42] ---
    with the security of
    Hidden Leaf Village.
[07:45] ---
    But because of that,
    our clan has been relegated to
[07:46] ---
    living outside
    the village boundaries.
[07:49] ---
    It is essential that our clan
    has one of its own there.
[07:54] ---
    I am counting on you, Itachi.
[07:57] ---
    Fugaku Uchiha stood out as one of
    the shrewdest security captains
[08:00] ---
    throughout the generations.
[08:02] ---
    I'm not surprised that
    he's your father.
[08:08] ---
    This is not a criticism.
[08:09] ---
    Because the Hidden Leaf
    ordered the Uchiha Clan
[08:13] ---
    outside the village limits,
    but granted them self-governance,
[08:18] ---
    we cannot intervene
    in their matters.
[08:20] ---
    Hence, we need our own
    set of eyes and ears there.
[08:26] ---
    I'm counting on you, Itachi.
[08:32] ---
    Are you getting used to the job?
[08:34] ---
    Not yet.
[08:35] ---
    That's unlike you.
[08:37] ---
    I haven't gone out
    on a mission yet.
[08:39] ---
    Protecting the Lord Hokage
    is a mission in and of itself.
[08:42] ---
    Isn't the ANBU an assassination
    and special tactical unit?
[08:46] ---
    Well, we're not at war right now.
[08:55] ---
    - Kakashi...
    - Sir?
[08:58] ---
    As the Hokage, every deployment
    I order is an official one.
[09:01] ---
    However, I cannot
    ignore Danzo's view
[09:05] ---
    that there is an underside
    to this mission.
[09:07] ---
    Hence, a separate unofficial team
    will be dispatched.
[09:12] ---
    One that the Hokage didn't order?
[09:16] ---
    You will work under Danzo.
[09:21] ---
    On the surface,
    this is a diplomatic mission.
[09:23] ---
    We will be exchanging intel
    with the Hannya Black Ops
[09:26] ---
    of the Land of Woods
    at the border.
[09:29] ---
    However...
    I believe this is an enemy trap.
[09:35] ---
    Lord Third agrees with me on this.
[09:38] ---
    The ANBU will guard the team
    on the official mission.
[09:42] ---
    When the enemy turns on
    the team and attacks, kill them.
[09:47] ---
    Leave no survivors.
[09:50] ---
    Total annihilation?
[09:52] ---
    We must show them
    that the Hidden Leaf
[09:54] ---
    does not tolerate betrayal.
[09:56] ---
    I'd like to be in
    a two-man squad with Itachi.
[09:59] ---
    Fine.
[10:01] ---
    If I may take my leave...
[10:02] ---
    Kakashi...
[10:03] ---
    I recognize your worth
    as an ANBU...
[10:06] ---
    I'm even tempted to pull you away
    into my Foundation.
[10:09] ---
    Surely, you jest...
[10:10] ---
    I'm serious.
    You have the right qualities.
[10:14] ---
    A quality called darkness.
[10:35] ---
    You will conduct a secret exchange
[10:36] ---
    with the Hannya Black Ops
    of the Land of Woods.
[10:38] ---
    The Hidden Leaf will
    hand over this scroll.
[10:42] ---
    And you will accept
    a scroll from them.
[10:47] ---
    Do we verify the contents?
[10:50] ---
    This is a test of mutual trust.
[10:53] ---
    If they hand over a fake scroll,
[10:56] ---
    it will prove that
    the Land of Woods has no interest
[10:59] ---
    in an alliance
    with the Hidden Leaf.
[11:02] ---
    So if nothing happens,
    we just bring back the scroll?
[11:07] ---
    Yes. Presently, we have no
    hostility with the Land of Woods,
[11:11] ---
    but we cannot be certain.
    Be very careful.
[11:15] ---
    Leave it to us!
[11:32] ---
    Hey, Itachi.
    So it's your first ANBU mission.
[11:35] ---
    Right.
[11:36] ---
    I heard it's just Captain Kakashi
    and you in a two-man squad.
[11:39] ---
    Watch your back.
[11:41] ---
    Why?
[11:42] ---
    If it's for the sake of a mission,
[11:44] ---
    the Captain won't hesitate
    to kill a comrade.
[11:46] ---
    He's a shinobi
    of the highest degree.
[11:59] ---
    Okay, everyone!
[12:00] ---
    Fire up your youthful passion
    and...let's go!
[12:05] ---
    Please wait, Captain!
[12:08] ---
    I'm way past my youthful days...
[12:17] ---
    So they weren't told of
    the true nature of this mission?
[12:21] ---
    No. The only ones who know
    are the top ranks of the Leaf
[12:25] ---
    and the two of us.
[12:39] ---
    You're a godsend on
    long-distance missions, Kosuke.
[12:43] ---
    Please have seconds.
[12:45] ---
    Everyone, eat up and replenish
    your energy and chakra.
[12:50] ---
    But Captain, is it wise to burn
    a fire out in the open like this?
[12:54] ---
    It's like we're just announcing
    that we're here.
[12:55] ---
    What if the enemy attacks?
[13:01] ---
    If they want to attack, so be it.
[13:04] ---
    I have a hunch this mission
    is to clarify
[13:06] ---
    whether they're friend or foe.
[13:13] ---
    That's amazing.
[13:15] ---
    He's only been told the superficial
    facts of the mission,
[13:18] ---
    but he's figured out
    its true purpose.
[13:21] ---
    We should eat too.
[13:23] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:29] ---
    In a way, this symbolizes
    the ANBU perfectly.
[13:32] ---
    What does?
[13:33] ---
    They sit out in the sun and
    enjoy a hot-pot together.
[13:37] ---
    While we sit in the shadows
    and eat food pills.
[13:39] ---
    I don't mind. I realize that
    this is part of the job.
[13:44] ---
    I see.
[14:02] ---
    You're with the Hannya Black Ops
    of the Land of Woods, correct?
[14:05] ---
    Indeed we are.
    Now hand over the scroll!
[14:08] ---
    - All right then at the same time...
    - You first.
[14:11] ---
    Fine then.
[14:19] ---
    There's no mistake.
[14:21] ---
    And your scroll?
[14:23] ---
    Here it is.
[14:26] ---
    Huh?!
[14:33] ---
    We're supposed to
    exchange scrolls, not fire!
[14:38] ---
    The Hidden Leaf reneged on
    our agreement and attacked us.
[14:42] ---
    We shall seek retribution.
[14:44] ---
    What a bold-faced lie.
[14:46] ---
    You're the one who broke
    the agreement!
[14:53] ---
    Captain?!
[14:54] ---
    They planned on betraying us
    from the beginning!
[14:57] ---
    We'll take over from here.
[14:59] ---
    - You guys get away from here.
    - You guys?!
[15:01] ---
    - ANBU?!
    - Reinforcements!
[15:03] ---
    - Earth Style!
    - Earth Style!
[15:04] ---
    - Rock Collapse!
    - Rock Collapse!
[15:07] ---
    Run!
[15:11] ---
    Earth Style... Mud Wall!
[15:25] ---
    Get out of here, you two!
[15:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[15:31] ---
    Rumor has it that
    you'd kill a comrade
[15:33] ---
    for the sake of a mission.
[15:35] ---
    I'll never let
    my friends get killed.
[15:39] ---
    That's why I was entrusted
    with this Sharingan.
[15:43] ---
    You get away from here too.
[15:44] ---
    Like I'd turn my back on a mission!
[15:47] ---
    Get on with it!
[15:49] ---
    - Earth Style!
    - Earth Style!
[15:50] ---
    - Rock Collapse!
    - Rock Collapse!
[15:55] ---
    Eight Inner Gates:
    Fifth Gate of Closing!
[15:58] ---
    Open!
[16:03] ---
    He did that of all that
    using only taijutsu?!
[16:04] ---
    Save the admiration for later!
[16:24] ---
    Retreat! Retreat!
[16:51] ---
    Your mission's complete.
[16:53] ---
    Return to the village.
[16:58] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[17:01] ---
    This is the mission
    we were assigned.
[17:05] ---
    Even still. Stop, Kakashi!
[17:08] ---
    Hey!
[17:09] ---
    What kind of idiot
    calls someone by their name
[17:10] ---
    while they're on an ANBU mission?!
[17:12] ---
    You!
[17:17] ---
    Not to worry, Captain.
[17:19] ---
    No enemy survivors remain.
[17:32] ---
    I'm going to report back
    to Lord Danzo.
[17:34] ---
    Your part of the mission
    is complete.
[17:37] ---
    Captain...
[17:38] ---
    That Sharingan wasn't
    originally yours, was it?
[17:43] ---
    No...
[17:44] ---
    Aren't you uncomfortable
    about possessing a power
[17:47] ---
    that wasn't your own?
[17:49] ---
    You're not an Uchiha.
[17:52] ---
    But you possess the Sharingan,
[17:55] ---
    so you wield the same power
    as the Uchiha.
[17:58] ---
    Whose side are you on?
[18:01] ---
    I've never thought about it
    in that way.
[18:03] ---
    A friend entrusted
    this Sharingan to me...
[18:08] ---
    who made me promise never to
    forget what's important.
[18:12] ---
    A friend?
[18:15] ---
    To never let a friend get killed.
[18:26] ---
    I see, well done.
[18:29] ---
    Lord Third...
[18:31] ---
    I understand why you said that
    the ANBU is not suited for me.
[18:35] ---
    I see...
[18:36] ---
    But I don't think that Kakashi is
    suited to be in the ANBU either.
[18:43] ---
    Is that so?
[18:46] ---
    How did the newbie do?
[18:48] ---
    He passed with flying colors.
    He'll be a better ANBU than me.
[18:54] ---
    No, you're an exceptional ANBU,
    Senpai...
[18:58] ---
    There's a darkness associated
    with ANBU missions.
[19:02] ---
    Why are you saying this
    all of a sudden?
[19:05] ---
    All of a sudden? You're right.
[19:08] ---
    Deception and killing is
    all part of the mission...
[19:21] ---
    Big Brother!
[19:23] ---
    Let's go home together, Sasuke!
[19:25] ---
    Okay! So you're done
    with your mission?
[19:30] ---
    Big Brother! Guess what?
[19:32] ---
    My Sensei praised me
    at the Academy today.
[19:46] ---
    Hey, Kakashi...
[19:48] ---
    Sorry about what happened
    during the mission.
[19:52] ---
    No... I'm sorry too.
[20:01] ---
    Some of you may be aware,
[20:04] ---
    but my son Itachi has
    joined the ANBU.
[20:07] ---
    Being in close vicinity to
    the Hokage and the top ranks
[20:10] ---
    means access to more information.
[20:13] ---
    And that is a boon
    for the Uchiha Clan.
[20:18] ---
    Itachi, do you have
    anything to report?
[20:21] ---
    Well...
[20:25] ---
    I'm still new,
    so there's not much to report.
[20:29] ---
    However, I don't think
    there's solidarity
[20:30] ---
    in the higher ranks of the Leaf.
[20:34] ---
    It's my belief that how
    the Uchiha Clan deals with this
[20:38] ---
    will determine the future
    of the Hidden Leaf.
[20:42] ---
    Exactly. By all rights,
[20:45] ---
    the Uchiha Clan must be involved
    in the future of the Hidden Leaf.
[20:47] ---
    - That's right!
    - Right!
[20:51] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Yes, that's right!
[21:00] ---
    That's the...
[22:38] ---
    Since you've been in the ANBU,
    
    
[22:40] ---
    this is a mission that
    cannot be avoided.
    
    
[22:42] ---
    What kind of mission is this?
    
    
[22:45] ---
    Six years ago, during
    the incident with the Nine Tails,
    
    
[22:48] ---
    The top ranks suspected
    that was the Uchiha's doing.
    
    
[22:52] ---
    Since then, there's been
    round-the-clock surveillance
    
    
[22:54] ---
    in the Uchiha district.
    
    
[22:57] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    Coup d'État
    
    
    
[23:02] ---
    A mission is a mission.
    
    
    
[23:03] ---
    COUP D'ÉTAT
