Oh, boy China.

Thank you for watching.

Not the best you can do.

Thought you were stronger.

Well, if that's all you've got, I guess I won't need it.

What?

Oh, come on.

You haven't realized yet?

I'm not using my shotgun.

Don't knock me!

You don't have what it takes.

Not the strength or the desire.

You're still too weak.

You don't have enough hate.

And you know something?

You never will.

If I just kept palling around with you guys... I

would never have been able... to

gain this much power.

Now I know what is needed of me.

Only through hatred and power.

And I hope to surpass my brother.

Tati, I can walk.

Don't push yourself.

Hey.

What's up?

That building is where father works, isn't it?

Mm -hmm.

It's headquarters for the Leaf Police Force.

I was wondering, how come the crest of the Uchiha clan is part of the Leaf

Police Force, Insignia?

Well, what do you know? You finally noticed.

Of course I did.

Right.

Let me see if I can explain it for you.

It was the Uchiha clan's earliest ancestors.

who established the police here in the village.

So when they created the symbol for the organization, they used the family

crest.

Since a long time ago, the Uchiha have always ensured the peace here.

The crest is a testament of our clan's pride and a way of life centuries old.

Over the years, the Uchiha clan has grown smaller.

But even now, nearly all of us are a part of the force.

and work to uphold the peace in this village.

Which is good, because only the most exceptional of Shinobi can weed out the

criminals hiding among their brethren.

Wow, Dad is the coolest.

Are you going to join the force, too?

Well, I'm not sure.

Why not?

Boy, when I grow up, I'm definitely going to enter the police force.

And Father's coming to tomorrow's entrance ceremony.

It's the first step to my dream.

That's right.

You're late, Itachi.

What have you been doing?

Father.

I need to talk to you.

Let's go.

That's my boy.

For you to have come this far just six months after making Chunin.

About tomorrow's special mission.

I've decided to go along with you.

Tomorrow? If you complete tomorrow's mission.

Itachi, your entrance into Anbu Black Ops is all but assured.

Do you understand?

You don't have to worry about me out there.

And more importantly... Father, you see,

tomorrow afternoon is... This mission tomorrow.

It's not just about you.

Your performance will reflect on our entire clan.

Actually, I'm going to pass on tomorrow's mission.

What are you talking about? That's insanity!

You know how important this is. You'll do no such thing.

I have to.

Tomorrow is Sasuke's entrance ceremony.

Our family has to attend.

It's customary at the academy.

You received a notice.

Remember?

All right, I get it. I'll be at the academy tomorrow.

Your left leg.

Be sure to ice it.

Hey.

Big brother.

My

congratulations

to all of you. You have a lot of hard work ahead of you as you walk the path

the Shinobi. But I expect great things.

I know you will do the Leaf Village proud.

Boy, it seems like only yesterday that you were here for Itachi, huh?

And you're his spitting image.

Thank you for your help with both of my boys.

Well, not at all. It's been a pleasure.

That boy of yours is a true prodigy.

There hasn't been another one like him in the history of the Academy.

Please, you're being too kind.

Nonsense. We expect big things from you as well, Sasuke.

Become a fine shinobi, just like your older brother.

Yes, father.

Hey, that's Uchiha, right?

Yeah. Oh, wow.

I wonder if he's a genius, too.

Yeah. He has to be.

Huh?

Oh, man, I thought recess was never gonna get here.

These classes are such a drag.

Kimaru, you want some?

Seriously, not every single break has to be a snack break, you know what I mean?

That's my boy.

You'll go far in the Anbu ranks, no question about it.

It's still not good enough.

I have to do better.

Go. Sasuke, this is your day off, dear. You need to give your body some rest.

Ow! You don't have to push yourself so hard.

I know, but they say Big Brother graduated from the academy in just a

Times have changed, sweetheart.

And your brother is special.

That's my boy.

All right, these are your report cards for the first term.

Keep excelling

like this, and you'll be just like your brother in no time.

I wanted you to say, that's my boy, to me.

Come again?

What do you mean you can't participate in the assembly?

I don't really think you understand your position.

I'm setting out on a mission tomorrow.

It's the middle of the night. Why are they up with the lights off?

What are you talking about?

I can't tell you.

The mission is covert.

Itachi, you also serve as the Uchiha clan's pipeline to the village nerve

center.

You know that, don't you?

Yes.

Well, make sure you don't forget it. You will be at that meeting tomorrow.

Sasuke.

Use the bathroom and go to sleep.

Okay.

What are you doing roaming the house at this hour? Get to bed!

Yes, sir.

Father only cares about you, Itat.

You probably hate me, huh?

It's all right.

People often think ill of Shinobi.

It's only logical.

That's not how I feel.

He's right, though.

I do.

I do feel that way.

Being the best isn't all it's cracked up to be.

When you have power, you become arrogant and isolated from the world.

No matter how coveted and sought after you are in the beginning.

But with us, it's different, because you and I are flesh and blood.

I'm always going to be there for you, even if it's only as an obstacle for you

to overcome.

Even if you do hate me.

That's what big brothers are for.

Is Hitachi in there?

We need to talk. Get out here!

What's going on? What are you all doing here?

There were two people who didn't show up at yesterday's assembly.

Do you want to tell me why you weren't there?

The meeting father was talking about last night.

He didn't go after all.

You're in the Anbu Black Ops now. I know full well you can be called away at the

drop of a hat.

And that's the case your father was trying to make when we asked why you

there. But we're not your father. You won't be getting any special treatment

from us.

I understand.

I should have been more careful.

Will that be all then, gentlemen?

Sure thing.

But you know what?

Before we go, there's just one other thing.

Do you know anything about Shisui Uchiha ending his life in Nagano River?

Ending his life?

Shisui was the other guy who never turned up at the assembly yesterday.

It's funny.

If I remember correctly, you kind of looked up to him like an older brother,

didn't you?

How terrible.

Forgive me, I haven't seen him at all recently.

What a tragedy.

Yeah. Well, at this point, the police force sees no other choice but to launch

an all -out investigation into the matter.

Investigation?

This is a no -cheese we left behind.

We've already had it analyzed.

There's no question this is his handwriting.

But if it wasn't homicide, why the investigation?

It'd be no great feat for someone who possesses Sharingan to copy his

handwriting.

The most talented of all our clan, feared as Shisui the teleporter, he was

who would do anything, take any mission, if it was for the good of the clan.

Hard to imagine a man like that ending his life, don't you think?

You shouldn't judge people by their appearance, or by your own

We'll leave that with you for the time being. Take it to Ambu Black Ops, and

in a request for them to start snipping around on this as well.

Understood.

Let's just hope we get a lead on this soon. By the way...

We have our own connections inside of Anbu Black Ops.

You try and sweep this investigation under the rug, and we're gonna know

it.

Why don't you just come out and say it?

You believe I had a hand in this, don't you?

Yeah, that's right, little punk.

Listen, Itachi.

If I find you betrayed this clan, I want you to know... You'll pay for your

wrongs!

Like I said before, appearances and preconceptions aren't going to tell you

anything. For instance, you've made the mistake of assuming I'm a patient man.

The clan, the clan.

You overestimate your own abilities with no idea of the depth of my own.

And look at you now, groveling in the dirt.

I've never seen him like this before.

Jeez, we have been keeping an eye on you recently.

The strangeness of your behavior.

Half a year into your time at Anbu, it was impossible to overlook.

What the heck are you playing at, you filthy little wretch?

Obsessed with the organization.

Obsessed with the clan.

Obsessed with our lineage.

A worthless compulsion that enslaves us and limits our capabilities.

Leading us to fear what you don't understand.

Stop it, Itachi!

What on earth is the matter with you?

Itachi, you've been strange lately.

Nothing strange about me.

I have my own duties to fulfill.

That's all.

So what's your story? Why didn't you come last night?

To achieve the next date.

What are you talking about?

I've had enough.

There's no hope left for this pathetic clan.

Since a very long time ago, the Uchiha have always ensured the peace here.

The crest is a testament of our clan's pride in a way of life centuries old.

That's my boy.

You'll go far in the Anbu ranks, no question about it.

The people of this clan are all the same.

You focus on the trivial and lose sight of what's most important.

Change is impossible in this fog of ignorance.

How can we evolve when regulation is all we know?

Such arrogance!

That's enough!

If I hear one more word of this nonsense, I'll have you thrown behind

Being the best isn't all it's cracked up to be.

When you have power, you become arrogant and isolated from the world.

No matter how coveted and sought after you are in the beginning.

Brother, why?

Well, what's it gonna be? I can't take this anymore.

Please, sir, just give me the order.

Big brother, you have to stop!

I'm not the one who killed Shisui.

But I apologize for the words I have spoken.

I'm truly sorry.

He's been pretty tired lately.

Up to his years in missions from the Anbu Black Ops.

But Captain!

Anbu are under the direct control of the Hokage.

Even if you wanted to arrest one of them, we would need to get a warrant

That's for Itachi.

I take full responsibility for him.

You've my word.

Very well, sir.

I hope that woke you up. Now you know I'm not messing around.

We had a bit of an interruption that day.

But that won't happen this time.

Let me show you the true power of the shotgun.

I don't

know.

I don't know.

What's wrong, Naruto?

What are you holding back for?

Or is this the full extent of your power?

So you went on and on about your nindo, your ninja way.

And this is the best you can do, huh?

Give me a break.

In this state, you're not even worth defeating.

Next time, father and son, the broken crest!
