    Itachi's Story -
    Light and Darkness: The Pain of Living
    
    
    
[02:05] ---
    Father!
[02:07] ---
    We'll discuss this again later.
[02:13] ---
    Father!
[02:14] ---
    Returning from a mission, Itachi?
[02:17] ---
    Yeah!
[02:21] ---
    We haven't walked together
    like this in a while.
[02:24] ---
    Well, I'm a genin now…
    and have I missions.
[02:28] ---
    Oh, I see!
[02:31] ---
    That's right.
[02:32] ---
    Since the Uchiha moved here…
[02:39] ---
    GRADUATE'S INFORMATION SESSION
[02:45] ---
    …three years have passed.
[02:50] ---
    We were pushed to
    the outskirts of the village,
[02:51] ---
    and the upper echelons
    took away our authority…
[02:54] ---
    Many still voice strong dissatisfaction
    towards their methods.
[03:00] ---
    You're aware of that too, right?
[03:04] ---
    We want to regain
    our power one day…
[03:07] ---
    and step out from
    the darkness into the light—
[03:08] ---
    Father, look!
[03:19] ---
    What's so funny?
[03:21] ---
    Sorry, Father…
[03:23] ---
    You're the face of the Uchiha.
[03:26] ---
    I'm proud to be able to
    walk alongside you.
[03:29] ---
    Enough flattery…
[03:32] ---
    Should we get your favorite snack
    on the way home?
[03:36] ---
    Yeah!
[03:37] ---
    DUMPLINGS
[03:39] ---
    SOLD OUT TODAY
    DUMPLINGS
[03:40] ---
    It can't be helped
    if they're all sold out…
[03:44] ---
    Itachi?
[03:47] ---
    Izumi…
[03:53] ---
    I'm sorry, Itachi.
[03:54] ---
    Are you sure I didn't interrupt
    you and your dad?
[03:58] ---
    Yeah… It's okay.
[03:59] ---
    DUMPLINGS
    
[04:01] ---
    - It's been a while.
    - Yeah.
[04:03] ---
    It's the first time since
    you became a genin.
[04:05] ---
    That's right!
[04:07] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't get you
    anything for your promotion…
[04:09] ---
    I didn't even congratulate you.
[04:12] ---
    I'm really sorry!
[04:14] ---
    You don't have to apologize
    so much…
[04:16] ---
    This doesn't really qualify
    as a gift.
[04:20] ---
    But if you don't mind,
    won't you have one?
[04:25] ---
    My mom loves the tri-color
    dumplings from that shop.
[04:29] ---
    But I guess someone like you
    who's brilliant and
[04:33] ---
    who excels in ninjutsu and taijutsu
    and whizzed through the Academy…
[04:38] ---
    wouldn't have a sweet tooth.
[04:41] ---
    Sorry for just assuming…
[04:44] ---
    Well, since I opened them…
[04:48] ---
    I guess I'll eat them all myself.
[05:00] ---
    Don't tell me…
[05:02] ---
    Do you want one?
[05:13] ---
    Is it strange?
[05:14] ---
    Oh no, it isn't that.
[05:17] ---
    I've known you for quite
    some time,
[05:19] ---
    but I didn't know what
    your favorite foods were.
[05:22] ---
    Rank and gender have
    nothing to do
[05:25] ---
    with what someone likes to eat.
[05:27] ---
    Yeah, that's true.
[05:29] ---
    Sorry.
[05:37] ---
    I'm sorry…
[05:40] ---
    It's because, Itachi…
[05:42] ---
    You looked so ready
    to use your Sharingan.
[05:47] ---
    It was funny.
[05:50] ---
    Okay, I won't laugh anymore.
    Sorry, Itachi!
[05:56] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[05:58] ---
    Let me make it up to you.
[06:00] ---
    Is there anything you want?
[06:03] ---
    "Anything I want"?
[06:04] ---
    Yeah!
[06:10] ---
    That's right. She's…
[06:14] ---
    Yeah… I thought so.
[06:17] ---
    But that's something
    I can't give you.
[06:26] ---
    Hey!
[06:30] ---
    We have another mission…
[06:32] ---
    Stop flirting.
[06:34] ---
    We are not flirting!
[06:37] ---
    Itachi…
[06:40] ---
    I can't give them to you…
[06:42] ---
    But I'll pray for you…
[06:45] ---
    I hope that your Sharingan
    awakens really soon.
[06:49] ---
    And when it does,
    I'll congratulate you!
[07:01] ---
    How was the kunai
    you bought the other day, Itachi?
[07:06] ---
    Yes, it was quite amazing.
[07:09] ---
    "Quite" amazing, eh?
[07:11] ---
    You're good with words.
[07:13] ---
    It's lightweight and
    has a sharp edge.
[07:17] ---
    You couldn't get it
    anywhere else for that price.
[07:21] ---
    Father also extends his thanks.
[07:27] ---
    I don't need your thanks…
[07:29] ---
    How about a discount on the price
    of this next request, Captain?
[07:32] ---
    That and this job
    are two separate things.
[07:36] ---
    I understand that, but…
[07:39] ---
    All right, so we have a mission.
[07:42] ---
    Do you understand the specifics?
[07:44] ---
    I don't get it, Minazuki Sensei!
[07:47] ---
    We just have to find a cat, right?
[07:49] ---
    So why do we have to wear this?!
[07:52] ---
    Tenma, as always,
    you're so sassy.
[07:55] ---
    Huh?! What did you say?
    You got a problem?
[07:58] ---
    Hey! Pipe down!
[08:00] ---
    You'll wake Tamaki!
[08:15] ---
    I'm not asking you to
    find a mere lost cat.
[08:19] ---
    It's a search for a Ninja Cat.
[08:21] ---
    What's more, you'll be going
    into the Den of Cats,
[08:24] ---
    where cats congregate.
[08:26] ---
    That explains this Ninja Tool.
[08:30] ---
    We need this Cat Tool which allows us
    to understand cat language meow?
[08:34] ---
    Still...
[08:36] ---
    If it's only intel work, why…
[08:40] ---
    Huh?!
[08:45] ---
    Wow…
[08:46] ---
    That really looks great on you.
[08:49] ---
    You graduated at the top
    of the class at the Academy!
[08:52] ---
    Have you no shame?
[08:55] ---
    Shame?
[08:56] ---
    Appearance has no place
    in undertaking a mission, does it?
[08:59] ---
    Huh?
[09:00] ---
    Okay, no fighting.
[09:03] ---
    This is the picture of the Ninja Cat
    that we're looking for.
[09:07] ---
    This cat is…
[09:15] ---
    Meow, meow, meow!
[09:16] ---
    Aww, don't say that,
    you're super cute! Meow, meow.
[09:21] ---
    You're wearing that thing,
    so cut it out with the cat-talk.
[09:25] ---
    It's even harder to understand,
    especially with your heavy accent.
[09:30] ---
    What?!
[09:32] ---
    It's a mission,
    so it can't be helped!
[09:35] ---
    That being said, this is
    an embarrassment to my clan…
[09:38] ---
    You say that,
[09:40] ---
    – Hey Shinko! What's so funny?!
    – but it looks so cute on you!
[09:43] ---
    All right! All right!
[09:44] ---
    First, let's gather intel.
[09:47] ---
    We'll split into two teams.
[09:48] ---
    Itachi and me,
    and Tenma with Shinko.
[09:52] ---
    Scatter!
[09:55] ---
    BLACK TORTISE DISTRICT
    RING DISTRICT
    HOT SPRINGS
    DEN CAVES
    
    Let's get going too!
[09:56] ---
    BLACK TORTISE DISTRICT
    RING DISTRICT
    HOT SPRINGS
    DEN CAVES
    
    
[10:01] ---
    HOT SPRINGS
[10:13] ---
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    
[10:14] ---
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    That was pretty quick.
[10:15] ---
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    
[10:16] ---
    WHITE RESTAURANT
    
    Let's rendezvous with Tenma and Shinko.
[10:19] ---
    All right. I'll go get them.
[10:28] ---
    So what's the matter?
[10:31] ---
    It's nothing…
[10:34] ---
    No, there's something…
[10:37] ---
    This current mission…
[10:39] ---
    Rather, that Ninja Cat.
[10:45] ---
    It seems that cat is pretty special.
[10:48] ---
    Huh? Since when are you
    a cat expert?
[10:52] ---
    I'm not!
[10:53] ---
    The leader of our clan…
[10:56] ---
    I mean, my dad's sick…
[10:59] ---
    The medicine for his treatment
[11:00] ---
    calls for some of
    that Ninja Cat's whiskers.
[11:03] ---
    Then you should take some, right?
[11:06] ---
    It's okay, right?
[11:08] ---
    I dunno.
[11:11] ---
    Keep me in the dark.
[11:13] ---
    If you take it without my knowing,
    it's okay.
[11:18] ---
    That's true.
[11:19] ---
    Just don't tell you-know-who!
[11:21] ---
    Huh? Talk about being a coward!
[11:25] ---
    Are you that jealous because Itachi,
    who's way younger than you,
[11:28] ---
    skipped a bunch of grades
    and graduated first in class?
[11:32] ---
    – If it wasn't for him…
    – What? You'd be ranked at the top?
[11:37] ---
    I didn't say that!
[11:39] ---
    Yeah, yeah…
[11:43] ---
    Anyway, Itachi sure is awesome…
[11:46] ---
    There's no point in
    competing with him.
[11:47] ---
    I'm not competing with him!
[11:49] ---
    And it has nothing to do
    with being top-ranked!
[11:51] ---
    We've found out the location
    of the Ninja Cat.
[11:54] ---
    Please regroup
    with Minazuki Sensei.
[12:05] ---
    Ah, rejected again!
[12:07] ---
    CATNIP LIQUOR
    
    And the clan just keeps harping on
    about me getting married…
[12:14] ---
    So he was chasing
    around some female cat
[12:16] ---
    and ended up here of all places…
[12:17] ---
    Seems like it.
[12:20] ---
    It seems as though our mission
    is complete, but…
[12:25] ---
    Okay, I'll go.
[12:26] ---
    Everyone, hang back here.
[12:32] ---
    Hey!
[12:33] ---
    What do you want?
[12:34] ---
    I just overheard your story
    and I sympathize,
[12:38] ---
    so I wanted to talk.
[12:41] ---
    Can you even understand
    the feelings of a male cat
[12:43] ---
    who's been rejected meow?
[12:47] ---
    I do! I do understand
    that feeling!
[12:55] ---
    I see…
[12:56] ---
    So you're not popular
    with the ladies either.
[13:00] ---
    Uh… yeah, that's it.
[13:02] ---
    Well, have a drink meow.
[13:05] ---
    They just don't understand
    a male's charm.
[13:09] ---
    That's why ladies just
    don't have perspective…
[13:13] ---
    or rather a discerning eye…
[13:16] ---
    Don't insult her!
[13:19] ---
    Looks like there's a breakdown
    in communications.
[13:24] ---
    Damn it!
[13:25] ---
    We should have done this
    from the start!
[13:29] ---
    What's going on meow,
    you brats?
[13:33] ---
    I'll take you on meow!
[13:35] ---
    You're not getting away!
[13:52] ---
    Damn it, he's going on ahead?!
[14:19] ---
    His paw…fluffy…fluffy…
[14:25] ---
    He's pretty good.
[14:35] ---
    We have to do something
    about his mobility first…
[14:43] ---
    He's balancing himself with his tail.
[14:46] ---
    But that's not all…
[14:49] ---
    Those whiskers enhance
    his spatial perception.
[14:53] ---
    In that case…!
[15:04] ---
    What are you aiming at meow?
[15:12] ---
    You're pretty good with the kunai,
[15:14] ---
    but you've still a ways to go, meow.
[15:16] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[15:18] ---
    I thought I could have managed
    five millimeters more…
[15:23] ---
    Huh?!
[15:33] ---
    Things went well here…
[15:35] ---
    But will it be in time?
[15:41] ---
    Don't underestimate
    Speedy Tenma!
[15:53] ---
    This may end up causing
    more than just a scratch…
[16:00] ---
    I'm glad we were
    in time for both!
[16:06] ---
    I…did it!
[16:13] ---
    Thank you for your help.
[16:16] ---
    I did tell him to hurry up
    and settle down…
[16:19] ---
    But I never expected him
    to fall in love…
[16:23] ---
    This one has good skills,
    but no eye for judging females.
[16:28] ---
    I just wanted to find the best bride
    for the sake of our clan.
[16:32] ---
    The most important thing
    is that you're okay.
[16:36] ---
    You fulfilled the mission just
    as I requested…
[16:39] ---
    is what I'd like to say…
[16:42] ---
    But what happened
    to his whiskers?
[16:45] ---
    To keep the fighting to a minimum,
    there was no choice.
[16:50] ---
    So you cut them?
[16:53] ---
    Well, it's my fault for not giving you
    a heads up on his skills…
[16:59] ---
    You didn't bring them back?
[17:01] ---
    No… they blew away in the wind.
[17:10] ---
    Well, I guess it can't be helped.
[17:13] ---
    Thank you for your efforts.
[17:16] ---
    Itachi…
[17:18] ---
    Next time you come,
    I'll have you take care
[17:20] ---
    of the debts the Uchiha
    have racked up.
[17:30] ---
    Good thing you got
    what you needed, eh?
[17:34] ---
    Well, yeah…
[17:35] ---
    Cheer up, will ya?
[17:38] ---
    The fate of your clan rests on it, right?
[17:41] ---
    It's not that critical!
[17:43] ---
    But…
[17:44] ---
    If this cures my dad,
    my clan will be secure.
[17:50] ---
    That Ninja Cat…
[17:53] ---
    And those grownups…
[17:55] ---
    They're all thinking about their clans…
[18:01] ---
    You'd better not be thinking
    that you saved me.
[18:05] ---
    The thought hasn't crossed my mind.
[18:06] ---
    Even if you didn't end up
    helping me…
[18:11] ---
    What are you doing?!
[18:13] ---
    Why are you still
    saying stuff like that?
[18:16] ---
    He's your friend!
[18:18] ---
    Of course, he's going to help you!
[18:20] ---
    – Huh?! Me? His friend?!
    – I was just fulfilling my mission.
[18:28] ---
    You stop being
    so difficult as well!
[18:32] ---
    All right! Isn't there something
    you want to say to Itachi?!
[18:36] ---
    I swear I'll make it up
    to you for this!
[18:42] ---
    Why can't you just
    say thank you?!
[18:47] ---
    Shinko, that hurt too much!
[18:51] ---
    Friend, huh?
[19:01] ---
    Big Brother! What is this?
[19:04] ---
    This is…from that time…
[19:13] ---
    Life is born, and life dies…
[19:16] ---
    But life is saved again…
[19:21] ---
    Wait…
[19:22] ---
    When I saved him back then,
[19:25] ---
    I didn't think too deeply about it.
[19:28] ---
    He's your friend!
[19:29] ---
    Of course,
    he's going to help you!
[19:32] ---
    A clan grows…
[19:33] ---
    A village is born…
[19:35] ---
    And bonds are made…
[19:38] ---
    If that's what friends are…
[19:41] ---
    We were friends, no doubt about it.
[19:44] ---
    We formed a bond…
[19:46] ---
    That's why that happened…
[19:55] ---
    We had a bond…
[19:59] ---
    That's why he…
[20:08] ---
    I swear I'll make it up
    to you for this!
[20:18] ---
    …died.
[20:23] ---
    I didn't understand back then…
[20:26] ---
    What real pain was.
[20:29] ---
    The pain of losing a life…
[20:32] ---
    I felt it for the first time
    after losing it…
[20:34] ---
    No, I was made to realize it…
[20:38] ---
    The feeling of not wanting
    to lose something precious.
[20:44] ---
    Big Brother!
[20:45] ---
    Your eyes!
[20:49] ---
    Will the day come when
    you'll possess these eyes too?
    
[20:54] ---
    The day when you come
    to know what sadness is?
[22:39] ---
    All right, I'll be going.
    
    
[22:40] ---
    Big Brother!
    You promised we'd play today!
    
    
[22:43] ---
    That's right!
    
    
[22:45] ---
    But I have a mission.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Forgive me, Sasuke… Next time.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    Sorry about that, Sasuke.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I'm going to borrow your brother
    for a little bit.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Shisui's Request"
    
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Sasuke was glaring at me too!
