[00:15] ---
    When's the light gonna fade?!
[00:17] ---
    Just calm down, loser.
[00:19] ---
    How can I?!
[00:20] ---
    We don't know what's happening
    to everyone outside!
[00:23] ---
    All we can do right now is wait.
[00:25] ---
    Until the Infinite Tsukuyomi subsides,
    we can't go outside.
[02:01] ---
    Itachi's Story –
    Light and Darkness: Moonlit Night
    
    
    
[02:06] ---
    That's my boy!
[02:08] ---
    You've become a member of
    the ANBU and I'm very proud.
[02:12] ---
    However, keep this
    close to your heart.
[02:15] ---
    Though you're an ANBU,
[02:18] ---
    you are first and foremost
    Itachi of the Uchiha Clan.
[02:22] ---
    Yes.
[02:26] ---
    You're the only one I can count on,
    my best friend.
[02:31] ---
    Protect the Village,
    and the Uchiha name.
[02:37] ---
    If I die, many things will change…
[02:40] ---
    I've left a note.
[02:43] ---
    Shisui?!
[02:45] ---
    Don't stop me, Itachi…
[02:47] ---
    If you're truly my friend.
[02:50] ---
    Shisui!
[03:00] ---
    Shisui Uchiha, who threw himself
    into the Nakano River
[03:03] ---
    and killed himself last night…
[03:05] ---
    I'M TIRED OF MISSIONS. IF THINGS
    CONTINUE, THERE'S NO FUTURE LEFT
    FOR THE UCHIHA...AND FOR ME.
    I CAN NO LONGER GO AGAINST THIS PATH.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
[03:07] ---
    I'M TIRED OF MISSIONS. IF THINGS
    CONTINUE, THERE'S NO FUTURE LEFT
    FOR THE UCHIHA...AND FOR ME.
    I CAN NO LONGER GO AGAINST THIS PATH.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Why don't you come out and say it?
[03:09] ---
    Why don't you come out and say it?
[03:11] ---
    You suspect me, don't you?
[03:14] ---
    Yeah, we do, you punk.
[03:16] ---
    Listen, Itachi.
[03:17] ---
    Just try and betray the clan.
[03:20] ---
    And you'll pay big time.
[03:27] ---
    The clan, the clan...
[03:30] ---
    You overestimate your own abilities,
[03:33] ---
    and have no idea about
    the depth of my own.
[03:35] ---
    That's why you're
    groveling there now.
[03:38] ---
    Stop, Itachi!
[03:41] ---
    What is going on?
[03:43] ---
    Just wha—
[03:47] ---
    There's no hope left…
[03:49] ---
    for this pathetic clan.
[03:52] ---
    Brother!
[03:53] ---
    Please stop!
[04:02] ---
    Observe carefully with
    those eyes...
[04:04] ---
    Sasuke.
[04:07] ---
    Observe how shallow this clan is.
[04:14] ---
    From today, you are now
    an ANBU squad leader.
[04:18] ---
    It's not the Foundation,
[04:21] ---
    but mission orders
    will come from me…
[04:23] ---
    There is no need to report this
    to Hiruzen and his staff.
[04:28] ---
    Yes.
[04:29] ---
    Without further pause,
    I have a mission for you.
[04:31] ---
    It's a simple assassination.
[04:36] ---
    The two behind you will assist you.
[04:38] ---
    We are your subordinates from today.
[04:40] ---
    We're honored to be of service.
[04:59] ---
    Good work…
[05:01] ---
    By the way...
[05:02] ---
    While you were away,
[05:04] ---
    the surveillance team that is
    covering the Uchiha reported that
[05:07] ---
    the Leaf Police is strengthening
    their armaments.
[05:11] ---
    What does this signify?
[05:14] ---
    Resentment towards the Village has
    been increasing among the Uchiha.
[05:20] ---
    So we can't ignore it?
[05:23] ---
    No.

[05:50] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brother!
[05:52] ---
    I'm going to go train.
[05:55] ---
    Come with me.
[05:56] ---
    I'm exhausted from my mission.
[05:59] ---
    You never get tired, Big Brother.
[06:02] ---
    Ouch!
[06:08] ---
    Forgive me, Sasuke.
    Maybe some other time.
[06:11] ---
    Man!
[06:22] ---
    You know about the clan meeting
    in three days, right?
[06:27] ---
    No.
[06:29] ---
    Come alone to the Nakano Shrine
    after the meeting.
[06:33] ---
    Without your ANBU subordinates.
[06:35] ---
    I'll be leaving tomorrow on
    a mission away from the Village.
[06:39] ---
    Don't run away.
[06:41] ---
    "Run away"?
[06:43] ---
    From what?
[06:45] ---
    From your Uchiha destiny…
[06:49] ---
    Do you understand?
    I'll be waiting.
[07:07] ---
    You two standby here.
[07:09] ---
    But, Captain!
[07:11] ---
    Just report that to Lord Danzo.
[07:18] ---
    Within the clan, only those
    who possess the Sharingan
[07:21] ---
    can read the stone tablet…
[07:23] ---
    And even then,
    they can read only part of it.
[07:25] ---
    But with your Mangekyo Sharingan,
    you should be able to read further.
[07:31] ---
    So you want me to
    tell you what it says?
[07:34] ---
    That's not necessary.
[07:37] ---
    Mangekyo?!
[07:38] ---
    You have them too, Father?
[07:40] ---
    It was during
    the Third Great Ninja War…
[07:43] ---
    My friend gave his life to save me.
[07:48] ---
    Along with his tears of blood,
    the Mangekyo was born.
[07:52] ---
    The Uchiha's way to salvation
    is carved into this stone.
[07:57] ---
    But even with
    the Mangekyo Sharingan,
[08:00] ---
    the end cannot be deciphered.
[08:03] ---
    It seems we still have a way to go.
[08:07] ---
    However, even if it's part way,
[08:09] ---
    once you read it,
    you will understand, Itachi.
[08:12] ---
    The current situation forced upon
    the Uchiha Clan right is wrong.
[08:16] ---
    Even so, to use force
    to overcome it is…
[08:20] ---
    The higher-ups of the Village fear us.
[08:23] ---
    That is why they persecute us...
[08:26] ---
    out of fear towards our Sharingan.
[08:28] ---
    You're right.
[08:30] ---
    They fear we will
    control the Nine Tails
[08:33] ---
    with the power of the Sharingan.
[08:35] ---
    That's just…
[08:36] ---
    …the legend of Madara Uchiha.
[08:39] ---
    Since then, no one has done
    something like that.
[08:41] ---
    We don't even know if anyone can.
[08:44] ---
    But the higher-ups cling to
    the ghosts of the past,
[08:47] ---
    and keep us at a distance out of fear.
[08:50] ---
    If they fear us…
[08:52] ---
    there is nothing else left to do,
    but for us to control them.
[08:55] ---
    Will you use force
    to become the Hokage?
[08:58] ---
    It's because the clan wishes it.
[09:01] ---
    I can't stop them.
[09:04] ---
    But I want to avoid
    the use of brute force.
[09:06] ---
    That is why I kept
    my Mangekyo Sharingan a secret.
[09:10] ---
    Why?
[09:11] ---
    I can control the Nine Tails
    with Mangekyo Sharingan.
[09:15] ---
    If the clan learns of this,
    they would desire even more.
[09:20] ---
    Watch!
[09:24] ---
    We've brought the Jinchuriki!
[09:27] ---
    Let's do it!
[09:27] ---
    The captain can do it!
[09:28] ---
    - Captain!
    - Please!
[09:30] ---
    Use the power of the Uchiha!
[09:52] ---
    That's!
[09:54] ---
    Many in the clan resent the Village.
[09:58] ---
    When you're pushed into a corner,
    you'll resort to things like this.
[10:01] ---
    There will be much bloodshed
    on both sides.
[10:04] ---
    But Itachi...
[10:05] ---
    if you are with me…
[10:09] ---
    We can take them by surprise
    and restrain the higher-ups.
[10:13] ---
    Some fighting will ensue,
[10:15] ---
    but with your help as
    a member of ANBU,
[10:20] ---
    a bloodless revolution can happen!
[10:23] ---
    "A bloodless revolution"?!
[10:25] ---
    Itachi, you're my son. Please!
[10:29] ---
    Save our clan!
[10:35] ---
    Captain?
[10:36] ---
    Your orders.
[10:39] ---
    FIRE
    
[10:42] ---
    The Uchiha Clan…
[10:44] ---
    is intent on revolting against
    the Hidden Leaf.
[10:49] ---
    There's no time to waste.
[10:51] ---
    We must strike preemptively
    before them.
[10:55] ---
    The Uchiha were our comrades
    in arms in past wars…
[10:58] ---
    I would like to use words
    before violence.
[11:01] ---
    I will come up with a way.
[11:04] ---
    Despite what Lord Third said…
    when push comes to shove…
[11:08] ---
    He will do what whatever it takes
    to protect the Hidden Leaf.
[11:11] ---
    I want you to choose.
[11:13] ---
    Align with the Uchiha and
    launch the coup d'état,
[11:16] ---
    and be slaughtered
    along with your family…
[11:18] ---
    Or side with the Leaf,
[11:20] ---
    and before they attempt
    a coup d'état,
[11:21] ---
    eliminate every Uchiha
    except your younger brother?
[11:25] ---
    Eliminate the Uchiha…
[11:27] ---
    In order to protect the Leaf,
[11:29] ---
    every possible step must
    be taken to avoid mayhem.
[11:33] ---
    The only one that can
    handle this mission is you,
[11:36] ---
    a double agent for both
    the Uchiha and the Leaf.
[11:39] ---
    There is no one else, Itachi.
[11:42] ---
    Will you accept this mission?
[11:49] ---
    The Village…the clan…shinobi…
[11:53] ---
    Is fighting…inevitable?
[11:58] ---
    The Village or the clan…
[12:03] ---
    What should I do?
[12:13] ---
    I wasn't serious just now.
[12:15] ---
    Yes , you were, loser.
[12:18] ---
    If I were serious,
    I would have beaten you!
[12:21] ---
    This time, I challenge you
    to the high jump!
[12:23] ---
    You're no match for me.
[12:25] ---
    What did you say?!
[12:42] ---
    Hey…
[12:48] ---
    There's something I would
    like you to help me with.
[13:17] ---
    LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
[13:22] ---
    Who are you?!
[13:49] ---
    Itachi...
[13:50] ---
    What lies beyond this slaughter?
[13:54] ---
    Are you going to show me...
[13:57] ---
    a different future
    from the one I showed you?
[14:02] ---
    This.
[14:06] ---
    LEAF POLICE FORCE
    
[14:15] ---
    Oh...
[14:16] ---
    Such fine eyes.
[14:19] ---
    No way!
[14:26] ---
    Help…Itachi.
[14:28] ---
    Help me!
[14:34] ---
    This is what I see for the future
    of the village…and for the clan.
[14:39] ---
    I see…
[14:41] ---
    Sasuke, eh?
[14:44] ---
    A shadow Clone!
[14:47] ---
    Father is the worst possible
    enemy for me.
[14:51] ---
    This is going to be a battle
    of Mangekyo Sharingan…
[15:09] ---
    Over here…
[15:11] ---
    There are no traps.
    Come inside.
[15:23] ---
    Father!
[15:25] ---
    I don't want to participate in
    a death match…with my son.
[15:31] ---
    I see…
[15:32] ---
    You've aligned with the other side.
[15:35] ---
    Father, Mother…
[15:38] ---
    I…
[15:39] ---
    We already know, Itachi…
[15:43] ---
    Itachi, promise me this.
[15:48] ---
    Take care of Sasuke.
[16:01] ---
    I will.
[16:06] ---
    Do not fear it.
[16:08] ---
    This is the path you've chosen.
[16:11] ---
    Compared to yours,
    our pain will end in an instant.
[16:15] ---
    Our philosophies may differ,
    but I'm proud of you.
[16:25] ---
    You truly are a kind child.
[16:44] ---
    It's over.
[16:46] ---
    You're…
[16:48] ---
    Never mind. Shall we go?
[16:50] ---
    Go on ahead.
[16:51] ---
    I'm going to confirm things…
    with the Leaf higher-ups.
[17:02] ---
    First, you have my thanks.
[17:04] ---
    Civil war has been averted
    in the Hidden Leaf.
[17:07] ---
    We have maintained peace.
[17:10] ---
    Yes.
[17:11] ---
    However, I regret that there was
    no other way to achieve this.
[17:17] ---
    I apologize.
[17:19] ---
    I'm the one who must apologize.
[17:22] ---
    You will now be branded
    a Rogue Ninja
[17:25] ---
    who massacred his entire clan,
[17:26] ---
    and be listed in the Bingo Book
    as a fugitive, wanted dead or alive.
[17:30] ---
    That goes without saying.
[17:32] ---
    What will you do from now?
[17:34] ---
    I've found aid from a group
    called the "Akatsuki."
[17:37] ---
    I intend to stay close to them
[17:40] ---
    in order to make sure
    a promise is not broken.
[17:48] ---
    What do you want now?
[17:50] ---
    You're a Rogue Ninja listed
    in the Bingo Book, Captain.
[17:53] ---
    An S-class, no less.
[17:54] ---
    As Foundation members, we want to
    make it appear like we pursued you.
[17:59] ---
    - Please go easy on us.
    - Please go easy on us.
[18:06] ---
    Your swordsmanship hints at more
    than just maintaining "appearances."
[18:10] ---
    The Sharingan won't work.
[18:12] ---
    We won't look into your eyes.
[18:20] ---
    A genjutsu?!
[18:25] ---
    How?!
[18:26] ---
    When you first came to me
    as my subordinates…
[18:30] ---
    We are your subordinates from today.
[18:34] ---
    I imbedded a suggestion in case
    you turned your sword on me.
[18:38] ---
    You didn't trust us…
    from the very beginning?
[18:43] ---
    I was a double agent.
[18:46] ---
    I see through the eyes of
    both the Leaf and the Uchiha.
[18:50] ---
    To be frank,
    I don't know whose spy I was...
[18:53] ---
    even to this day.
[18:58] ---
    Within the organization,
[19:00] ---
    I'm known as Tobi.
[19:02] ---
    I'm not an official member.
[19:05] ---
    I'm a newbie within the Akatsuki
[19:06] ---
    who doesn't possess
    any spectacular jutsu.
[19:09] ---
    You should…
    treat me the same way.
[19:12] ---
    Why hide your true identity?
[19:14] ---
    If word gets out that
    Madara Uchiha is still alive…
[19:16] ---
    things could become complicated.
[19:20] ---
    Only the leader of Akatsuki,
    who we're meeting now,
[19:23] ---
    knows my true identity.
[19:29] ---
    Why, it's Itachi.
[19:32] ---
    It's been a long time.
[19:33] ---
    Mr. Orochimaru…
[19:35] ---
    That's right.
    You're from the same region.
[19:38] ---
    Is this going to be
    a touching reunion?
[19:40] ---
    I heard the rumors.
[19:42] ---
    I knew it…
    so you were a shinobi like us…
[19:46] ---
    "Like us"?
[19:48] ---
    Those who consider bonds like
    the village, the clan and comrades...
[19:51] ---
    to be a burden.
[19:55] ---
    The goal of the Akatsuki…
[19:57] ---
    is a world of true peace
    among shinobi.
[20:00] ---
    Instead of the Five Great
    Shinobi Nations,
[20:02] ---
    the Akatsuki shall rule the world.
[20:05] ---
    That's a big goal.
[20:07] ---
    That's why we're assembling
    skilled shinobi
[20:11] ---
    without asking where they're from
    or what they've done.
[20:13] ---
    Itachi of the Hidden Leaf,
    we welcome you into the Akatsuki.
[20:18] ---
    From this moment on,
    reject the Hidden Leaf.
[20:30] ---
    From now…
    you are Itachi of the Akatsuki.
[20:35] ---
    SHU
    
[20:38] ---
    Show the world pain…
[20:53] ---
    Juzo...
[20:54] ---
    Huh?
[20:55] ---
    Form a two-man team with Itachi.
[20:59] ---
    Okay.
[21:03] ---
    Follow me, newbie.
[21:05] ---
    Yes.
[22:49] ---
    So Itachi, have you gotten
    used to the Akatsuki?
    
    
[22:53] ---
    How would you feel about changing
    partners and teaming up with me?
    
    
[22:58] ---
    I second changing partners!
    
    
[23:02] ---
    I'd like you to think about this
    some more, leader.
