    Itachi's Story -
    Light and Darkness: Partner
    
    
[01:45] ---
    Over there?
[01:47] ---
    Yeah.
[01:49] ---
    The "Akatsuki"?
[01:51] ---
    Don't know and don't care.
[01:52] ---
    Now get lost! You're keeping me
    from my "art appreciation" time.
[01:56] ---
    And I have to take this brat on
    as my partner?
[02:01] ---
    Sure, he's full of energy,
[02:03] ---
    but he seems like
    the type to die young.
[02:06] ---
    It's our leader's orders…
[02:08] ---
    His talent will be very useful.
[02:11] ---
    How do you know about my talent?
[02:14] ---
    Just who the hell are you anyway?
[02:16] ---
    We know you're aiding
    anti-government factions
[02:19] ---
    of neighboring nations with bombings…
[02:23] ---
    You're a Rogue Ninja,
    but what is your purpose?
[02:27] ---
    Purpose? I don't need a purpose!
[02:30] ---
    I take commissions to
    cause explosions…using my art.
[02:36] ---
    He's annoying…
[02:39] ---
    Is he done?
[02:41] ---
    Who knows…?
[02:44] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[02:46] ---
    I'll do it.
[02:57] ---
    Let me make it clear,
    I won't stop in my pursuit of art!
[03:02] ---
    Do as you please.
[03:05] ---
    But now that you're a part
    of the Akatsuki,
[03:08] ---
    I expect you to fulfill your missions.
[03:18] ---
    BLUE
    
[03:20] ---
    All right, all right, I got it.
[03:21] ---
    But…
[03:23] ---
    you over there!
[03:25] ---
    I'll never get caught up
    in your genjutsu again, hmm!
[03:28] ---
    Now that you're one of us,
[03:29] ---
    I doubt that I'll have to
    use my genjutsu on you.
[03:33] ---
    I don't mind giving you
    a taste of my art.
[03:37] ---
    Leave it at that.
[03:40] ---
    Sasori!
[03:42] ---
    Partner with Deidara
    and go kill Orochimaru.
[03:45] ---
    About time.
[03:48] ---
    Who is this Orochimaru?
[03:50] ---
    I'll tell you on the way.
[03:52] ---
    Orochimaru has escaped
    into the Land of Wind.
[03:56] ---
    Beyond that, I don't know.
[03:59] ---
    That's all I need to know.
[04:01] ---
    Let's go.
[04:04] ---
    You Akatsuki sure like
    to order guys around…
[04:07] ---
    Hey, hurry up.
[04:09] ---
    I know!
[04:11] ---
    Itachi and Kisame,
    go to the Hidden Grass Village.
[04:17] ---
    What about my partner?
[04:19] ---
    Wait just a while longer.
[04:23] ---
    I've ordered Kabuto to keep me
    updated through several ways.
[04:30] ---
    If they're headed to
    the Land of Wind, this is the spot…
[04:49] ---
    The Great Sand Dune of the East…
[04:51] ---
    I see…
[04:52] ---
    That's one place the guys
    from the Village won't go near.
[04:56] ---
    Is that where you're from, my man?
[04:58] ---
    I don't want to talk about it.
[05:00] ---
    Anyway, that location
    works out perfectly.
[05:09] ---
    That's his hideout.
[05:12] ---
    I'll blow the whole thing up
    with my art, hmm!
[05:15] ---
    We don't even know if
    he's there or not.
[05:25] ---
    Sand Snakes!
[05:26] ---
    It's useless…
[05:29] ---
    They know we're here.
[05:31] ---
    Are you serious?
[05:33] ---
    Let's go.
[05:42] ---
    I was expecting Itachi to
    be the one who'd come…
[05:45] ---
    So you're the ones the Akatsuki sent?
[05:49] ---
    We're going to kill you
    without hesitation, you traitor.
[05:52] ---
    Oh, do you really think you can?
[05:55] ---
    You're the boy from the Hidden Stone…
[05:57] ---
    You used to be in
    the Demolitions Unit, right?
[05:59] ---
    Don't treat me like a kid!
[06:05] ---
    Keep watch from above and
    make sure he doesn't get away.
[06:09] ---
    What gives, my man?
[06:11] ---
    Are you saying that you want
    to capture him yourself?
[06:13] ---
    Yeah, since you have
    no grudges against him, right?
[06:20] ---
    If you want back-up,
    just call on me at any time, hmm!
[06:27] ---
    THREE
    
    I have the geographical
    advantage here.
[06:38] ---
    So that's your work, my man?
[06:40] ---
    You're aware of
    the Third Kazekage's power, aren't you?
[06:44] ---
    Yes…
[06:46] ---
    My hobby is to collect things
    that I find interesting,
[06:49] ---
    so I took a little bit.
[06:54] ---
    THREE
    
[07:03] ---
    What the hell?
[07:04] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    What's that over there?
[07:16] ---
    Is that you, Sasori…?
[07:17] ---
    You bastard, how dare
    you do this to me!
[07:20] ---
    What's that, you damn snake?
[07:22] ---
    It‘s the Third Kazekage
    that you killed.
[07:25] ---
    I used a Forbidden Jutsu
    to resurrect him.
[07:29] ---
    Things won't go the way
    they did last time…
[07:31] ---
    Enough of your resentful complaints…
[07:38] ---
    Now then…
[07:41] ---
    With your Human Puppet…
[07:43] ---
    and my Forbidden Jutsu.
[07:45] ---
    Let's see which is superior!
[07:48] ---
    Damn you…
[07:52] ---
    Iron Sand: Scattered Showers!
[08:12] ---
    Unlike the real thing,
[08:13] ---
    the puppet stops working when
    Iron Sand gets into it, right?
[08:16] ---
    Don't lecture me about puppets!
[08:36] ---
    Unlike the real thing,
[08:38] ---
    I've built in lots of hidden tricks
    into the puppet.
[08:40] ---
    It's your turn…
[08:44] ---
    Not yet.
[08:46] ---
    What?!
[08:47] ---
    This is one form of immortality…
[08:50] ---
    It doesn't die, even though
    it's already dead.
[08:53] ---
    There's no way it can't die!
[09:14] ---
    Heargh!
[09:20] ---
    Well?! How do you like my art?!
[09:33] ---
    Why doesn't it die?
[09:35] ---
    After you two die, I'll resurrect you
    both in the same way.
[09:42] ---
    Although, what I really wanted…
[09:46] ---
    was Itachi's body.
[09:55] ---
    My man!
[09:56] ---
    Does that guy have a weakness?!
[09:58] ---
    Resurrection isn't one of
    the Third's abilities…
[10:08] ---
    You are both going to become
    my pawns forever.
[10:16] ---
    Stop kidding around…
[10:20] ---
    I…am the Third Kazekage…
[10:26] ---
    I am not...
[10:28] ---
    your pawn!
[10:36] ---
    Oh my…
[10:38] ---
    I wonder if my jutsu wasn't complete?
[10:41] ---
    Take this!
[10:48] ---
    Is he dead?!
[10:54] ---
    Don't run away!
[11:01] ---
    Heargh!
[11:07] ---
    Art is…!
[11:10] ---
    …an explosion!
[11:13] ---
    Hey, c'mon now…
[11:21] ---
    We thoroughly searched
    the mountain of rubble,
[11:24] ---
    but we didn't find his corpse.
[11:26] ---
    So we can't say for sure
    that we killed him.
[11:29] ---
    If he's alive,
    I swear I'll kill him myself.
[11:33] ---
    Besides, what was with
    that ridiculous jutsu?!
[11:37] ---
    Do you know anything about it?
[11:39] ---
    It's probably the Second Hokage's
    Reanimation Jutsu.
[11:44] ---
    You bring the dead back to life,
    and control them like a puppet.
[11:47] ---
    You can't kill it even if you tried.
[11:49] ---
    So you must use a Sealing Jutsu
[11:52] ---
    or suppress their movement forcefully.
[11:55] ---
    We just have to kill Orochimaru, right?
[11:57] ---
    Even that won't stop a reanimated being…
[12:00] ---
    What's the supposed to mean?
[12:02] ---
    Be wary of Orochimaru from now on.
[12:05] ---
    If he's alive,
    he's bound to make another move.
[12:09] ---
    Ordinarily, no one could
    survive that explosion, hmm.
[12:13] ---
    No one who joins us is ordinary.
[12:17] ---
    Another immortal has appeared
    out of the woodwork.
[12:20] ---
    We have a request from
    the Land of Steam.
[12:22] ---
    A homicidal maniac
    has appeared
[12:24] ---
    and they want us to eliminate him.
[12:26] ---
    Don't they have
    their own Hidden Steam shinobi?
[12:29] ---
    Apparently, they can't kill it.
[12:31] ---
    So this homicidal maniac
    is immortal too?
[12:34] ---
    Was he "reani-whatevered"
    by Orochimaru too?
[12:38] ---
    I'm dispatching
    a different team this time.
[12:53] ---
    You there…
[12:58] ---
    Would you like to join
    the Way of Jashin?
[13:08] ---
    This wasn't for money or revenge.
[13:11] ---
    This was out of
    a deep desire to kill.
[13:13] ---
    There are other ways
    to quench blood thirst…
[13:17] ---
    He had some other purpose.
[13:20] ---
    You really have
    a way of irritating me.
[13:26] ---
    And you… Did you come to
    make sure I don't kill Itachi?
[13:31] ---
    There are no other
    Sensory types besides me.
[13:34] ---
    And…
[13:35] ---
    The others certainly aren't
    cut out to be decoys.
[13:40] ---
    Decoys?
[13:48] ---
    All right then…
[13:53] ---
    Hey, you over there.
[13:56] ---
    Do you want to join
    the Way of Jashin?
[13:58] ---
    Way of Jashin?
[14:00] ---
    Yeah, the Way of Jashin…
[14:03] ---
    What is that?
[14:04] ---
    You can kill people and
    you won't be punished.
[14:07] ---
    In fact, it just pleases
    Lord Jashin even more.
[14:12] ---
    I see…
[14:13] ---
    What do you say?
    Isn't that a wonderful teaching?
[14:16] ---
    Are you interested in joining?
[14:18] ---
    So you're the homicidal maniac…
[14:22] ---
    Homicidal maniac?
    That's not it at all.
[14:25] ---
    I'm just offering up prayers
    to Lord Jashin.
[14:29] ---
    Looks like I'll just have to
    offer you up to Lord Jashin.
[14:33] ---
    Well?
[14:34] ---
    He doesn't seem to be
    a Reanimation.
[14:37] ---
    Fine. I'll test him to see
    how immortal he is.
[14:40] ---
    Who are you guys,
    dressed up all the same?
[14:43] ---
    You in an orchestra or
    band or something?
[14:46] ---
    Let's see… The gloomy one
    over there plays bass…
[14:49] ---
    The girl does vocals and keyboards…
[14:52] ---
    No, maybe that guy there
    does vocals?
[14:55] ---
    We're nothing like that.
[14:58] ---
    I think Lord Jashin would like
    you guys as an offering.
[15:09] ---
    What's wrong?
    Is running around all you can do?!
[15:11] ---
    Well, I won't let you get away!
[15:26] ---
    What? Done so soon?
[15:32] ---
    Ouch…
[15:37] ---
    That hurt!
[15:41] ---
    Oh…
[15:42] ---
    I'll punish you in the name of god!
[15:57] ---
    That's not gonna help you!
[16:00] ---
    Looks like the rumors about
    your immortality are true.
[16:03] ---
    Okay, let's start the ritual.
[16:15] ---
    Everything is ready!
[16:18] ---
    Die…!
[16:27] ---
    One stab into the heart…
[16:33] ---
    Damn you!
[16:36] ---
    It feels so good…
[16:38] ---
    Glory be to Lord Jashin!
[16:52] ---
    You bastard…You got some nerve…
[16:55] ---
    Hey, hey… Why didn't you die?
[16:58] ---
    I'll beat you to death!
[16:59] ---
    No, you can't!
[17:01] ---
    Did you notice anything?
[17:02] ---
    He licked Kakuzu's blood
[17:05] ---
    and then mentioned something
    about a ritual.
[17:06] ---
    That's probably some jutsu too.
[17:08] ---
    He passes on any damage he sustains
    to the one whose blood he licks.
[17:13] ---
    However, that doesn't
    explain his immortality.
[17:16] ---
    Can you separate them?
[17:18] ---
    Weren't you going to eliminate him?
[17:20] ---
    Yeah.
[17:27] ---
    W-What?!
[17:33] ---
    What's the big idea, Itachi?!
[17:36] ---
    Seems they're recruiting him.
[17:39] ---
    A guy like him?
[17:43] ---
    Are you kidding me? I refuse!
[17:45] ---
    Whatever the Akatsuki is…
[17:47] ---
    I have a mission to spread
    the Way of Jashin.
[17:51] ---
    Then you should join the Akatsuki
    for the sake of your mission too.
[17:56] ---
    What?
[17:57] ---
    Assassinations, war, you name it,
[18:00] ---
    the Akatsuki will do anything…
    since we're a band of killers.
[18:11] ---
    I plan to continue propagating
    the Way of Jashin.
[18:16] ---
    Do as you please.
[18:20] ---
    THREE
    
[18:22] ---
    Our two-man teams are in place.
[18:24] ---
    Go and execute your missions.
[18:29] ---
    I didn't expect to be
    partnered with you.
[18:32] ---
    You took the words out of my mouth.
[18:34] ---
    Don't irritate me,
    or I'll kill you.
[18:37] ---
    Like I said. Just try it!
[18:40] ---
    I don't want your heart.
[18:58] ---
    Art…
[19:03] ---
    …is an explosion!
[19:07] ---
    It's art!
[19:09] ---
    I still don't get what
    your art is about.
[19:12] ---
    Soon, you'll understand the aesthetics
    of something that's fleeting, hmm.
[19:18] ---
    Hm? It's the leader.
[19:22] ---
    A shinobi village named
    the Hidden Sound
[19:24] ---
    recently came into existence.
[19:26] ---
    It's possible that
    Orochimaru is involved.
[19:32] ---
    That guy!
[19:33] ---
    I want you two to
    covertly check them out.
[19:36] ---
    Since you guys specialize in sneaking
    around behind the scenes.
[19:41] ---
    I'll find him!
[19:43] ---
    And make him go boom!
[19:45] ---
    The orders were to do it covertly.
[20:05] ---
    There's been an incident
    at the Hidden Leaf Village.
[20:08] ---
    Orochimaru's behind it.
[20:12] ---
    Orochimaru used shinobi from
    the Hidden Sound and Hidden Sand
[20:15] ---
    to wage war against the Leaf…
[20:18] ---
    But he failed to completely
    destroy the Leaf.
[20:21] ---
    Serves him right!
[20:22] ---
    The Third Hokage
    was killed in battle.
[20:26] ---
    Orochimaru withdrew,
    but his whereabouts are unknown.
[20:29] ---
    I'll send someone out
    to investigate, but…
[20:31] ---
    I'll go.
[20:33] ---
    Then I'll leave this to you,
[20:35] ---
    as well as the status
    of the Leaf's Jinchuriki.
[20:40] ---
    It seems they
    averted total destruction,
[20:43] ---
    but they've sustained
    massive damage.
[20:46] ---
    That Village was at
    the height of prosperity…
[20:49] ---
    How tragic.
[20:51] ---
    That was out of character.
[20:53] ---
    So even you have feelings
    for your birthplace, after all?
[20:57] ---
    No…
[21:03] ---
    Not at all.
[21:08] ---
    Sasuke… Are you safe?
[22:47] ---
    It's been a while Sasuke.
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Itachi Uchiha…I'm going to kill you!
    
    
[22:56] ---
    Ah, the Sharingan.
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Nevertheless, he's a lot like you.
    Who is he?
    
    
[23:04] ---
    He's my younger brother.
    
    
[23:07] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Truth"
    
    
    
[23:10] ---
    Has your Sharingan awakened?
