    Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness:
    The Darkness of the Akatsuki
    
    
[02:07] ---
    Do you know a shinobi
    named Might Dai?
[02:10] ---
    I know a Might Guy.
[02:13] ---
    Huh, well that’s the kid from that time.
[02:17] ---
    I was one of the Seven Ninja
    Swordsmen of the Mist.
[02:21] ---
    Thanks to Might Dai,
    the seven of us got cut down to three.
[02:28] ---
    Who could have expected that
    scuzzy bearded jerk
[02:31] ---
    would use taijutsu like that?
[02:33] ---
    Anyway, I wanna make
    something clear...
[02:37] ---
    I could care less why
    you joined the Akatsuki.
[02:41] ---
    I don’t even want
    to hear your reason.
[02:44] ---
    It doesn’t matter why I joined either.
[02:49] ---
    And it’s okay if
    you don’t want to know.
[02:52] ---
    Listen to me!
[02:59] ---
    There’s something
    I need to ask you.
[03:03] ---
    And…
[03:05] ---
    It’s about your ninjutsu specialties.
[03:08] ---
    As you see, I use this Executioner’s Blade
    and cut up enemies.
[03:15] ---
    So? How about you?
[03:17] ---
    Genjutsu, Fire Style and Shuriken Jutsu.
[03:20] ---
    You’re awfully humble!
[03:23] ---
    Former ANBU Itachi Uchiha, Itachi of
    the Sharingan, the Clan-Killer Itachi...
[03:27] ---
    People throw around many nicknames
    for you...you’re notorious.
[03:35] ---
    Let’s decide on our formations.
[03:37] ---
    You’ll start with a preemptive attack
[03:40] ---
    with your genjutsu, shuriken or
    whatever’s your specialty.
[03:44] ---
    Then I’ll jump in.
[03:46] ---
    And you back me up.
[03:49] ---
    That will be Formation B
[03:51] ---
    What’s A?
[03:53] ---
    We each do things our own way.
[03:56] ---
    Understood.
[03:58] ---
    One word of warning.
[04:00] ---
    Don’t take any opponent for granted.
[04:05] ---
    Understood.
[04:19] ---
    - Who are you?
    - Get out of our way!
[04:21] ---
    Shinobi villages only say things
    about peace and order,
[04:25] ---
    but they’re really worried
    about their roles shrinking.
[04:28] ---
    Behind the scenes,
    they’re all trying
[04:31] ---
    to lessen their opponent’s power
    while increasing their own.
[04:34] ---
    All the while, preventing other nations
    from finding out their schemes.
[04:39] ---
    That’s why the Akatsuki gets jobs.
[04:41] ---
    The more peaceful the world is,
    the more work we get...
[04:45] ---
    We accept every request.
    We don’t care about the details.
[04:50] ---
    You scoundrels!
[04:52] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
[05:01] ---
    Why you—!
[05:10] ---
    That’s why…
[05:12] ---
    We don’t know who’s inside
    this palanquin…
[05:14] ---
    And we don’t want to know either.
[05:26] ---
    There’s also no need to think about
[05:29] ---
    who the hell would pay us
    to do such dirty work.
[05:41] ---
    That’s what the Akatsuki is about.
[05:44] ---
    Pain, the leader, said the Akatsuki
    was going to rule the world.
[05:49] ---
    That won’t be for a long time.
[05:51] ---
    We first need to amass money
    and power.
[05:57] ---
    Speak of the devil,
    he’s summoning us.
[06:18] ---
    So Itachi, have you gotten
    used to the Akatsuki?
[06:22] ---
    How would you feel about changing
    partners and teaming up with me?
[06:28] ---
    Hey, we’re just getting
    our formation down.
[06:32] ---
    Don’t try to steal him.
[06:34] ---
    I second changing partners...
[06:38] ---
    There’s an aspect called compatibility...
[06:40] ---
    I wish our leader would put
    a bit more thought into this.
[06:44] ---
    You’re one to talk, you damn snake!
[06:54] ---
    Thanks to your work, Akatsuki’s reputation
    is growing in the underworld.
[07:00] ---
    The jobs we’re getting are
    becoming bigger in scale,
[07:03] ---
    which means higher compensation
    as well.
[07:06] ---
    But that’s only just a step.
[07:09] ---
    And the Akatsuki is ready to
    move on to the next step…
[07:15] ---
    which are the Tailed Beasts.
[07:17] ---
    There’re supposed to be nine of ‘em.
    Are those the Tailed Beasts?
[07:20] ---
    The Five Great Ninja Nations
    harbor most of them.
[07:24] ---
    But the whereabouts are unknown
    for a few of them.
[07:27] ---
    Those who aren’t on a job
    will try to locate them.
[07:31] ---
    So we just have to locate them?
[07:33] ---
    For now.
[07:34] ---
    What will you do with them eventually?
[07:36] ---
    We’ll hunt down and collect
    every Tailed Beast.
[07:39] ---
    And then?
[07:40] ---
    They’ll act as our deterrents in our quest
    for world domination.
[07:44] ---
    Tailed Beasts?
[07:46] ---
    Seems to me there are
    lots of other ways…
[07:50] ---
    There’s no mistake in
    the leader’s reasoning.
[07:54] ---
    Here are the assignments.
[07:56] ---
    Juzo…
[07:57] ---
    You’ll handle the request
    from the Land of Water.
[08:00] ---
    Isn’t there another mission I can do?!
[08:04] ---
    You’re familiar with the territory.
[08:14] ---
    This is ridiculous.
[08:16] ---
    I never wanted to go back
    to that depressing place.
[08:22] ---
    Is that the village where you’re from?
[08:24] ---
    The job’s easy.
[08:26] ---
    We have to assassinate a member
[08:28] ---
    from the Feudal Lord's clan
    in the Land of Water.
[08:31] ---
    I'll explain...
[08:33] ---
    It’s an intra-clan fight
    over succession,
[08:36] ---
    a common occurrence in
    the Land of Water.
[08:38] ---
    The Hidden Mist cannot interfere
    in the Feudal Clan's affairs.
[08:42] ---
    That’s why they’ve come to the Akatsuki.
[08:50] ---
    This river’s the border.
[08:52] ---
    Have you ever been to
    the Land of Water?
[08:55] ---
    Never on a mission.
[08:56] ---
    So for an outing then?
[09:00] ---
    You’ve got no sense of humor!
[09:03] ---
    But you do know, don’t you?
[09:05] ---
    What happens to a shinobi
    from another village
[09:08] ---
    if he’s discovered in
    the Land of Water?
[09:10] ---
    The Hidden Mist doesn’t have
    a policy for prisoner exchange...
[09:13] ---
    If captured, the shinobi will be made
    to divulge his jutsu
[09:16] ---
    and he’ll be disposed of.
[09:18] ---
    You have it good, Itachi.
[09:21] ---
    The Leaf is naïve.
[09:23] ---
    That’s why you and Orochimaru can go
    around without a care as Rogue Ninja...
[09:27] ---
    There is a special unit in the Hidden Mist
    that track down Rogue Ninja.
[09:32] ---
    If I ever get caught in this village…
[09:35] ---
    Oh, I forgot all about Formation C.
[09:39] ---
    If I’m caught by the Mist,
    kill me immediately.
[09:45] ---
    If I have a chance.
[09:47] ---
    So what do you want me
    to do for Formation D?
[09:52] ---
    Nothing in particular.
[09:55] ---
    Fine, let’s get going!
[10:08] ---
    Are you good at infiltrating?
[10:12] ---
    I'm average.
[10:13] ---
    Okay, show me.
[10:32] ---
    P-Please! Spare me!
[10:35] ---
    I don’t bear a grudge against you.
[10:38] ---
    This is just my job.
[10:41] ---
    W-Wait!
[10:47] ---
    Hey…
[10:48] ---
    Yeah.
[10:49] ---
    Hidden Mist Jutsu…!
[10:55] ---
    Wind Style! Supreme Typhoon!
[10:58] ---
    This is—?!
[11:06] ---
    Lord Fourth!
[11:09] ---
    Is that the Mizukage?
[11:11] ---
    Do you remember my warning?
[11:14] ---
    Any way you look at him,
    he’s a kid.
[11:16] ---
    He’s the Jinchuriki of
    the Three Tails.
[11:20] ---
    And they are the Mist’s
    Shinobi Tracking Unit.
[11:23] ---
    I never expected you to reappear
    in the Village, Juzo.
[11:29] ---
    I didn’t wanna come back either.
    I had no choice.
[11:32] ---
    I have a ton of things to say to you…
[11:35] ---
    At the very least, I’m taking back
    the Executioner’s Blade.
[11:39] ---
    Even if your partner
    is Itachi of the Sharingan.
[11:43] ---
    So I guess a surprise attack with
    your genjutsu is meaningless.
[11:48] ---
    What do you want to do?
[11:50] ---
    This one’s a Formation C.
[11:53] ---
    Formation C? Understood.
[12:02] ---
    Don’t look!
[12:07] ---
    It's a Water Clone!
[12:10] ---
    Itachi!
[12:11] ---
    Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
[12:17] ---
    Lord Fourth!
[12:27] ---
    You two…
[12:30] ---
    I’ll show no mercy.
[12:38] ---
    Tailed Beast State?!
[12:39] ---
    The Fourth is a Jinchuriki
    who can control his Tailed Beast!
[12:43] ---
    This is not the Hidden Leaf!
[13:01] ---
    Juzo!
[13:02] ---
    It’s the Fourth’s Coral Palm Jutsu.
[13:15] ---
    Juzo?!
[13:20] ---
    Run… Itachi…
[13:35] ---
    W-What?!
[13:38] ---
    What is this?
[13:43] ---
    The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?
[13:55] ---
    Why you—!
[14:08] ---
    Juzo…?
[14:17] ---
    Did you kill…the Mizukage?
[14:20] ---
    No, he’s not dead yet.
[14:23] ---
    Then…
[14:25] ---
    Hurry! Go!
[14:26] ---
    But…
[14:28] ---
    It's all over for me…
[14:30] ---
    You don’t have to be
    a Medic Ninja to know that, right?
[14:33] ---
    I’m sorry.
[14:35] ---
    What a stupid thing to say.
[14:37] ---
    Do you have any last words
    for anyone?
[14:42] ---
    Like I'd have anyone, idiot.
[14:48] ---
    I see…But you have someone
    like that, huh?
[14:53] ---
    Hurry and go!
[14:55] ---
    I’m just gonna drop dead, right here,
    where I'm from…
[14:59] ---
    …this god-forsaken,
    Blood Mist Village…
[15:03] ---
    I thought my only partner…
[15:05] ---
    was this guy here, but…
[15:49] ---
    Juzo Biwa is dead.
[15:52] ---
    Oh my, and he was
    your teammate, Itachi.
[15:56] ---
    The Jinchuriki of
    the Three Tails killed him.
[15:59] ---
    Which means you took on
    the Mizukage and came out of it alive.
[16:04] ---
    Another one of us is dead.
[16:07] ---
    Rather than being killed by the enemy,
    he was killed by friendly fire.
[16:13] ---
    He was just too slow.
[16:16] ---
    Let everyone here be the judge of that.
[16:26] ---
    Fire Style: Searing Migraine!
[16:32] ---
    Done in bad faith.
[16:33] ---
    Sounds like it was on purpose.
[16:35] ---
    He should have just dodged it.
[16:38] ---
    You ignored your partner, didn't you?
[16:42] ---
    So what?
[16:43] ---
    You wanted to kill him, didn't you?
[16:47] ---
    So what?
[16:48] ---
    Oh, nothing. It just seems
    to happen a lot.
[16:52] ---
    The Akatsuki works in two-man teams.
[16:55] ---
    What will you do, Kakuzu?
[16:57] ---
    Will you team up with Itachi
    who’s also lost his partner?
[17:00] ---
    As long as he doesn’t irritate me.
[17:04] ---
    I wouldn’t know how to cater
    to your moods.
[17:07] ---
    What the hell did you say?
    Then let's team up and I'll show you.
[17:11] ---
    Wait, I’ll team up with Itachi.
[17:14] ---
    Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!
[17:19] ---
    The Akatsuki needs to
    find some new members.
[17:22] ---
    We’ll put this issue on hold until we do.
[18:10] ---
    Do you know what eternal life is, Itachi?
[18:15] ---
    I don’t know yet, either.
[18:18] ---
    That’s why I need a new body.
[18:21] ---
    A magnificent body to link me
    to eternal life.
[18:25] ---
    First of all, the problem with you…
    is your greed.
[18:30] ---
    Impossible! Have I fallen prey to
    the Paralysis Jutsu?
[18:37] ---
    What incredible Visual Prowess…
[18:40] ---
    Magnificent!
[19:04] ---
    Orochimaru…
[19:05] ---
    Try all of the jutsu you wish...
[19:08] ---
    But, my eyes can see through
    all of them.
[19:11] ---
    You're so blunt…
[19:13] ---
    I’m not sure what to do with you.
[19:16] ---
    Whether to kill you right now,
    or find a way to use you.
[19:21] ---
    I-Itachi!
[19:23] ---
    You just don’t have enough...
[19:27] ---
    No, you lack it completely...the greed…
[19:34] ---
    for human life!
[19:38] ---
    Lord Orochimaru!
[19:40] ---
    I’ll definitely get you back for this.
[19:56] ---
    Orochimaru betrayed and
    deserted our organization.
[20:00] ---
    I knew it, that bastard.
[20:03] ---
    He always put himself
    before the organization.
[20:07] ---
    I don’t intend to let Orochimaru
    get away with this,
[20:10] ---
    but right now,
    we’re short members.
[20:12] ---
    Hey! Hey! Hey!
[20:13] ---
    How about letting me join?
[20:15] ---
    Get lost!
[20:17] ---
    Okay…
[20:19] ---
    Leave Orochimaru to me.
[20:22] ---
    His subordinate, Kabuto, is my puppet.
[20:28] ---
    I’ll find out where
    he’s hiding out in no time.
[20:31] ---
    No need to rush.
[20:33] ---
    I have someone in mind
    to be your partner.
[20:36] ---
    It can wait until he joins us.
[20:38] ---
    What about me?
[20:39] ---
    Do I team up with Itachi?
[20:41] ---
    Work alone for a while longer.
[20:43] ---
    I have someone else I’ve prepared
    to partner up with Itachi.
[21:10] ---
    I’m going to be your partner
    from today.
[22:49] ---
    Hey, you over there!
    
    
[22:51] ---
    I’m not gonna fall for
    your genjutsu ever again, hmm!
    
    
[22:55] ---
    I’m going to give you a little taste
    of what art is.
    
    
[22:59] ---
    Let's leave it at that.
    
    
[23:01] ---
    Sasori…
    
    
[23:02] ---
    partner with Deidara and
    go kill Orochimaru.
    
    
[23:06] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Partner"
    
    
    
[23:10] ---
    Who the hell is this Orochimaru guy?
