[00:10] ---
    Are you leaving already?
[00:12] ---
    Yes.
[00:12] ---
    I see…
[00:15] ---
    You awakened your Sharingan
    at age eight…
[00:18] ---
    I supposed the Village wants
    to observe your abilities.
[00:23] ---
    This just shows how much power
    and influence the Sharingan holds.
[00:29] ---
    I want you to be aware of that.
[00:33] ---
    It brings joy to the clan when
    one of its own excels.
[00:38] ---
    Of course, I'm very proud of you too.
[00:49] ---
    He died…
[00:51] ---
    Father.
[00:52] ---
    But, do not rest on your laurels
[00:54] ---
    just because you have
    the Sharingan now.
[00:58] ---
    In order to sharpen
    the power in your eyes,
[00:59] ---
    you must continue to be diligent.
[01:02] ---
    Well, I don't need to lecture you.
[01:05] ---
    You are my son, after all.
[01:10] ---
    My friend died…
[01:12] ---
    But, Father is…
[01:16] ---
    Yes, Father.
[01:18] ---
    I will continue to be diligent.
[01:21] ---
    Good.
[01:22] ---
    I'll be on my way now.
[01:29] ---
    Big Brother!
[01:31] ---
    You said you'd play with me today!
[01:35] ---
    That's right, I did, didn't I?
[01:38] ---
    But I have a mission.
[01:39] ---
    Forgive me, Sasuke. Next time.
[01:44] ---
    Sorry about that, Sasuke.
[01:46] ---
    I'm gonna borrow your brother
    for a little bit.
[03:21] ---
    Itachi's Story – Light and Darkness:
    Shisui's Request
    
    
    
[03:25] ---
    Why did you lie?
[03:28] ---
    Sasuke resents me now.
[03:32] ---
    NO TRESPASSING
    
    I know that was wrong of me…
[03:35] ---
    But Sasuke's a smart kid…
[03:37] ---
    I think he'll understand.
[03:38] ---
    "First, have one genin
    accompany you,
[03:41] ---
    "and secure the scroll in question."
[03:45] ---
    Even if my training exercise
    required a genin,
[03:47] ---
    it really didn't have to be you.
[03:50] ---
    Don't say that now!
[03:52] ---
    Even if it's not a real mission,
[03:54] ---
    none other than Shisui the jonin
    requested me.
[03:56] ---
    I'm not lying when
    I say it's a mission, right?
[04:00] ---
    Well, you're half right.
[04:02] ---
    Let's go.
[04:08] ---
    What are the details of
    the training exercise?
[04:10] ---
    There are three parts.
[04:14] ---
    The first part is to find traces left
    by a fugitive, and then to track him.
[04:25] ---
    Pretty good!
[04:33] ---
    Let's start from here.
[04:46] ---
    A footprint left on moss…
[04:48] ---
    As expected from Shisui…
[04:50] ---
    He doesn't miss the slightest details.
[05:06] ---
    This is…
[05:07] ---
    Our guy stepped on
    a piece of a branch…
[05:10] ---
    Very perceptive of you!
[05:11] ---
    But, that's just a decoy.
[05:15] ---
    Dry wood like that would snap
    when stepped on…
[05:17] ---
    but this piece still has
    a lot of moisture.
[05:19] ---
    Also, see this clean cut?
[05:22] ---
    Obviously, he was in a hurry
    to make a decoy…
[05:26] ---
    Sloppy work.
[05:30] ---
    Don't be disappointed…
[05:32] ---
    An animal could have left
    that indentation in the moss,
[05:35] ---
    but only humans make decoys.
[05:36] ---
    And if he laid the decoy
    over in that direction…
[05:42] ---
    A stone?
[05:43] ---
    Yes.
[05:45] ---
    The underside is dry
    and the top is damp.
[05:50] ---
    Could this be a decoy too?
[05:52] ---
    Well…That's very possible.
[05:55] ---
    The moisture on the rock will tell us
[06:00] ---
    how long ago he was here.
[06:03] ---
    I see!
[06:05] ---
    Judging from the dryness,
    only a short while has passed.
[06:12] ---
    This scent!
[06:36] ---
    Perfect!
[06:37] ---
    Let's go!
[06:46] ---
    I think a fish left that mark behind.
[06:50] ---
    So it's not a decoy?
[06:52] ---
    No. That's the main purpose
    of leaving decoys.
[06:56] ---
    Everything starts to look
    like them.
[06:59] ---
    Confusing their pursuers gives
    the fugitive many additional options.
[07:04] ---
    At this rate, there's no way
    I can find the fugitive by myself.
[07:07] ---
    I need to develop better
    tracking skills.
[07:14] ---
    You're half right.
[07:24] ---
    Here.
[07:25] ---
    Drink up.
[07:32] ---
    It's because you're exceptional, Itachi…
[07:38] ---
    That's why…
[07:40] ---
    I bet you've never tried
    to understand
[07:42] ---
    the feelings of someone who's not.
[07:45] ---
    Having the skills to track
    a fugitive is important,
[07:47] ---
    but so is understanding
    how he thinks.
[07:51] ---
    If you can understand his mindset,
[07:53] ---
    sometimes you can thwart
    a fugitive even without those skills.
[07:57] ---
    I see!
[07:59] ---
    So…
[08:00] ---
    Let's move on to the second part
    of the training exercise.
[08:08] ---
    The second part?
[08:10] ---
    Yeah…
[08:10] ---
    To encamp at night.
[08:12] ---
    The textbook said campfires
    are prohibited.
[08:16] ---
    So does this mean there's another
    reason behind doing this?
[08:19] ---
    Just eat.
[08:22] ---
    You're exceptional, Itachi.
[08:25] ---
    I'm still inexperienced.
[08:28] ---
    Earlier, if I had more skills…
[08:32] ---
    That's true.
[08:33] ---
    Don't laugh!
[08:35] ---
    Sorry, sorry…
    It just makes me happy.
[08:39] ---
    "Happy"?
[08:40] ---
    Huh? No!
[08:42] ---
    Just listen…
[08:44] ---
    I thought that there was really nothing
    I could teach you.
[08:49] ---
    But…
[08:50] ---
    You taught me a lot today.
[08:52] ---
    Yeah… And that's what
    made me happy.
[08:57] ---
    So…
[08:58] ---
    Hmm?
[09:00] ---
    What about this campfire?
[09:01] ---
    Oh…
[09:03] ---
    It's nice to share a meal with
    someone you feel at ease with.
[09:07] ---
    Enjoying a hot meal helps
    cheer you up.
[09:13] ---
    Eat it while it's hot.
[09:21] ---
    Yeah… It's warm and tasty!
[09:23] ---
    Told you so!
[09:26] ---
    But…
[09:27] ---
    If I'm really exceptional…
[09:30] ---
    He wouldn't have died.
[09:34] ---
    I'm still so inexperienced.
[09:37] ---
    So why would someone like me…
[09:41] ---
    I…
[09:42] ---
    Hmm?
[09:43] ---
    Awakened the Sharingan…
[09:46] ---
    I see…
[09:49] ---
    Is that why…you lied?
[09:52] ---
    "Lied"?
[09:53] ---
    You said the same thing
    at the start of practice.
[09:56] ---
    You're good at fooling yourself.
[10:00] ---
    That's why you can't grasp
    your true feelings.
[10:05] ---
    You didn't want to stay
    at home, right?
[10:08] ---
    That's the look you had
    on your face.
[10:18] ---
    That might be true…
[10:21] ---
    Shisui picked up on how
    I felt from the very beginning…
[10:25] ---
    I'll be happy to listen any time
    you want to talk.
[10:37] ---
    The final part of the training
    exercise is about to start.
[10:58] ---
    I'll assist you to the best
    of my abilities!
[11:03] ---
    The pursuers are ANBU?!
[11:04] ---
    Is this an exercise?
[11:06] ---
    No…
[11:07] ---
    Put that out of your mind for now.
[11:09] ---
    Why are you attacking
    a fellow Leaf shinobi?
[11:12] ---
    Would you consider forgetting that
    you saw this and leaving?
[11:16] ---
    If you're going to kill a comrade,
[11:18] ---
    I can't look the other way
    without hearing a reason!
[11:21] ---
    The truth is…
[11:23] ---
    We're going after those
    who betrayed the village.
[11:25] ---
    Where's the proof that
    he betrayed you?
[11:28] ---
    What a waste of time.
[11:30] ---
    Let's just kill them all.
[11:32] ---
    Just wait…
[11:33] ---
    It's not that he's a traitor.
[11:37] ---
    But he has evidence that proves
    who the traitor is in that scroll.
[11:41] ---
    If he hands it over, we will disappear.
[11:45] ---
    So she says…
[11:48] ---
    You want the intel…
    but for what purpose?
[11:51] ---
    Isn't it obvious?!
[11:53] ---
    Anyone who threatens the village
    will be punished…
[11:56] ---
    We maintain the order in Leaf Village
    with our code of darkness!
[12:00] ---
    You don't have the right to judge!
[12:03] ---
    I will hand this secret missive
    to Lord Hokage…
[12:06] ---
    Lord Hokage will make
    a fair and just judgment!
[12:10] ---
    "A fair and just judgment"?
[12:12] ---
    How naïve.
[12:14] ---
    You betray the village, you die.
    That's that.
[12:17] ---
    Even a traitor has
    a reason behind their actions!
[12:20] ---
    The Hokage's wish is
    to investigate that carefully.
[12:24] ---
    That's one way of thinking.
[12:26] ---
    However…
[12:27] ---
    This involves the entire village.
[12:30] ---
    The gravity of one traitor versus
    one village is far too great.
[12:33] ---
    What would Shisui…?
[12:39] ---
    He took the opportunity to
    substitute himself out
[12:41] ---
    while we were "advising" him…
[12:43] ---
    Don't worry.
[12:44] ---
    My wire is coated with poison.
[12:48] ---
    His body will go numb and
    he won't go far.
[12:50] ---
    Without words, they carry out
    their purpose with blades…
[12:53] ---
    Leave it to the ANBU…
[12:55] ---
    Or rather, Lord Danzo's Foundation, right?
[12:59] ---
    Nameless individuals who maintain
    peace from the shadows…
[13:02] ---
    I believe that is a true shinobi.
[13:04] ---
    Then you share our beliefs.
[13:07] ---
    No, you're wrong!
[13:08] ---
    Order maintained through
    the power of the blade…
[13:14] ---
    …is not peace!
[13:17] ---
    I…
[13:19] ---
    Itachi…stay out of this!
[13:22] ---
    I am Itachi Uchiha!
[13:23] ---
    I will fight alongside Shisui!
[13:25] ---
    Itachi!
[13:38] ---
    So this is the how the ANBU fight.
[13:41] ---
    The Uchiha would dare to
    push their luck and defy us?
[13:45] ---
    We will not show mercy,
    even to children.
[13:49] ---
    At least make it fun for us!
[14:03] ---
    The one your friend is fighting,
[14:06] ---
    is a kunoichi who's unrivaled
    within the Foundation.
[14:09] ---
    If you don't stop him quickly,
    he will die.
[14:12] ---
    Retreat!
[14:13] ---
    Don't underestimate the Uchiha!
[14:15] ---
    Besides…he's exceptional!
[14:30] ---
    Sharingan!
[14:45] ---
    She keeps mixing it up
    with double and triple layers.
[14:48] ---
    But…!
[14:51] ---
    I thought he was just a child,
    but he has the Sharingan already?
[15:12] ---
    I can see it!
[15:14] ---
    So this is the power of the Sharingan!*
[15:22] ---
    There's no right way or
    wrong way to fight in a battle.
[15:25] ---
    But…
[15:26] ---
    I've already seen
    through your attacks.
[15:30] ---
    I don't think so…
[15:32] ---
    You have already fallen into my trap.
[15:37] ---
    You're pretty good,
    even though you're a child.
[15:51] ---
    What--? How?!
[15:53] ---
    I told you…
[15:55] ---
    I've seen through your attacks.
[15:57] ---
    That threaded ninja tool you threw…
[16:00] ---
    I changed its trajectory
    just a little bit.
[16:03] ---
    You…damn Uchiha!
[16:11] ---
    Itachi seems to be doing fine.
[16:13] ---
    So I'll end things on my end!
[16:18] ---
    Teleportation Jutsu!
[16:22] ---
    Shadow Clones…
[16:24] ---
    No, they're just Afterimage Clones.
[16:26] ---
    If they're just afterimages,
    I'll sense out the real one…
[16:31] ---
    What…? This is weird.
[16:33] ---
    I can't see the real one!
[16:44] ---
    Get the hell outta here!
[16:51] ---
    He didn't fly off!
[16:52] ---
    Namely…he has no mass.
    But his attack is powerful…
[16:56] ---
    What's going on?
[16:58] ---
    My Teleportation Jutsu has no mass.
[17:01] ---
    But you could say everything has mass.
[17:07] ---
    It seems the jonin observing
    our training exercise have noticed.
[17:13] ---
    We will be watching you
    from the shadows…
[17:17] ---
    Shisui Uchiha… Itachi Uchiha!
[17:29] ---
    This is…!
[17:30] ---
    It's not a fatal wound.
    Don't worry about it.
[17:36] ---
    Back then…if I had observed
    the enemy more carefully…
[17:40] ---
    Never mind that…
[17:42] ---
    He wants us to forget
    this incident ever happened.
[17:45] ---
    His life was threatened! So why?
[17:48] ---
    If this incident becomes known,
[17:50] ---
    it will sow the seeds
    for a new conflict.
[17:53] ---
    This is not what Lord Hokage wants.
[17:56] ---
    The ones who aid peace from
    the shadows are also…nameless.
[18:05] ---
    So there was fighting,
[18:06] ---
    but you assumed it was part
    of the training exercise?
[18:10] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:12] ---
    They were extremely strong,
[18:13] ---
    and I was doing my best
    to protect the genin,
[18:16] ---
    so I didn't see their faces…
[18:17] ---
    No, we're at fault for not catching
    their infiltration too.
[18:22] ---
    I'm glad neither of you are hurt.
[18:26] ---
    I'd like to talk to you more
    about this tomorrow.
[18:30] ---
    But this training exercise is over.
[18:33] ---
    Itachi, let's go home.
[18:38] ---
    What's the matter?
[18:42] ---
    Ah… You sprained your ankle.
[18:44] ---
    You're making a big deal
    out of nothing.
[18:47] ---
    When you first awaken
    the Sharingan,
[18:50] ---
    sometimes there's a "slight gap"
[18:52] ---
    between the image your brain foresees
    and your body's reaction time.
[18:56] ---
    And when you try too hard to
    compensate for that slight gap…
[19:00] ---
    this happens.
[19:02] ---
    I said you're making
    a big deal out of nothing.
[19:05] ---
    Oww!
[19:06] ---
    No matter how exceptional
    you are, Itachi…
[19:08] ---
    don't overdo it.
[19:17] ---
    It's not funny!
[19:19] ---
    I'm sorry!
[19:20] ---
    I'm just happy.
[19:22] ---
    You're really like
    a kid brother to me.
[19:27] ---
    So being able to take you under
    my wing like this makes me happy.
[19:32] ---
    I want you to think of me
    as your older brother
[19:34] ---
    and depend on me for anything.
[19:38] ---
    Shisui…
[19:39] ---
    Hmm?
[19:40] ---
    About the ANBU…
[19:42] ---
    Oh…
[19:43] ---
    Did I make the right decision?
[19:45] ---
    I won't say yes.
[19:46] ---
    I don't even know
    if there is such a thing as justice
[19:49] ---
    in the Shinobi World.
[19:51] ---
    But that's…!
[19:52] ---
    We fight believing in our own justice.
[19:55] ---
    But if the enemy is doing
    the same thing, who's right?
[20:00] ---
    You realized that during
    today's exercise, didn't you?
[20:02] ---
    There's more than
    one side to an issue.
[20:05] ---
    You must consider things
    from various viewpoints.
[20:08] ---
    "Various…viewpoints"?
[20:11] ---
    You must be tired from
    using your Sharingan.
[20:14] ---
    Go ahead and sleep.
[20:18] ---
    But there's one thing that's certain…
[20:21] ---
    I will never, ever betray you.
[20:26] ---
    That's the one thing
    that's certain.
[20:36] ---
    So it's come to this.
[20:38] ---
    Shisui…
[20:40] ---
    I'm…
[20:48] ---
    I'm Itachi Uchiha.
    I'll be part of ANBU from today.
[20:53] ---
    I'm looking forward
    to working with you.
[20:57] ---
    I'm going to watch over the Hidden Leaf
    from within the shadows.
[22:38] ---
    Starting from today,
    you are an ANBU squad leader.
    
    
[22:42] ---
    You're not part of the Foundation,
    
    
[22:44] ---
    but your missions will
    come from me.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    There's no need to tell
    Hiruzen about this.
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
    
    
[22:50] ---
    I know it's sudden but,
    I have a mission for you.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    It's a simple assassination.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Moonlit Night"
    
    
    
[23:00] ---
    I'm assigning the two behind
    you as your subordinates.
[23:02] ---

    Tune in again!
