**[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.
**[05:32] ---**

**[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.
**[23:07] ---**
Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
"The Darkness of the Akatsuki."
**[23:11] ---**
You're one to talk, you damn snake!
