It's a full moon tonight, Sasuke.

[whining]

[chuckling]

Uh--

[whining]

What is this?

Now then... come on out...!

Nine Tails!

"Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness: The Genius"

I'm feeling...

something ominous...

[whining]

There, there. It's okay...

[crying]

Don't cry, Sasuke. No matter what happens, your big brother will protect you, I

promise you that.

Summoning Jutsu!

[screaming]

[growling]

No! No way!

[roaring]

Go, Nine Tails!

[growling]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[screaming]

[crying]

Hey, it's okay-- uh!

It's the Nine Tails! The Demon Fox is loose!

[gasping]

What's going on?!

Just run, you idiot!

Uh!

[screaming]

[screaming]

[panicking]

[sobbing]

Sasuke!

It's okay now. I know that was a little scary...

[crying]

[roaring]

This is an announcement from the Leaf Police Force! All civilians, evacuate!

Head to the southeast shelter!

[gasping]

[crying] Dad! Mom!

Come here!

Huh--

Hmm?

Itachi!

Hurry up!

Okay...

[grunting]

[gasping]

Let's go to the shelter!

[lightly grunting]

Okay!

This way! Hurry!

Mom! Mom!

You keep going.

But Itachi?

Everyone'll be there.

Just stay calm!

You'll be safe here!

Father!

Hm?

Oh, good. I knew that you'd be all right.

Get to the shelter right away.

Yes... Right...

[roaring]

Good, it's been driven out of the village!

Now keep at him... one after another!

Everyone's been evacuated.

Captain, shouldn't we go and provide assistance?

The Police Force will stay and guard the civilians.

But Captain, sir...!

That's the order the village gave us.

[gasping]

What was that just now?!

It seems that they sealed the Nine Tails.

Somehow...

[crying]

Many lives were lost...

including the Fourth Hokage Minato and his wife, Kushina.

The facts behind the incident are still unknown.

Life is born.

But for the time being,... let's just mourn the loss of our comrades.

And life...

... dies.

Itachi!

[giggling] Um...

Thank you... I mean, you know, for before...

... it's all because of you that I'm safe.

I'm glad that you didn't die.

Oh...

[giggling]

Is that your sister?

Brother.

Can I hold him?

No.

Why not?

I don't want him to cry.

Oh, you're not gonna cry, are you, little guy?

[screaming]

There, there! It's okay...

[cooing]

You see? Everything's all right.

[gasping] Ooohhh--

Aww, come on!

The attack by the Nine Tails caused devastation

throughout the entire village.

So for the reconstruction, we've decided to revise a

number of the village's boundaries.

We'd like the Aburame Clan... to move into this district.

The clan previously submitted a request to occupy the forest, so we

took that into consideration.

The Nara Clan's territory wasn't damaged, so it'll stay the same.

The Leaf Police Force headquarters, which sustained damage,

will be rebuilt here.

[grumbling]

And the Uchiha Clan will move alongside it-

Lord Danzo!

The Uchiha guard the village via the Leaf Police Force.

That location is too far from the village center for us.

We wouldn't be able to act swiftly in a crisis.

That's why we have the ANBU Black Ops.

[grunting]

As it stands now, the Leaf Police Force has to commute

to the training grounds, doesn't it?

Well, this new location would be near an area that's ideal for training.

You can use it exclusively as the Uchiha's training grounds.

To continue...

Now, once the Leaf Police Headquarters is rebuilt...

...the whole Uchiha Clan will move here.

Any homes and buildings that were spared will be left as they are...

During the Nine Tails Incident, we Uchiha were not called upon because they

feared that we would use our Sharingan to manipulate Nine Tails!

And what's even worse, there are some who believe that the Uchiha actually caused

the Nine Tails Incident!

They're sending us to the outskirts of the village in order to keep an eye on us!

It's just like during the Second Hokage's era when the Uchiha were rounded up

and isolated in one part of the village!

This time, it's even farther away!

The village doesn't trust us!

Captain, we can't accept this decision!

Well, captain?

[argumentative yelling]

I agree. You're absolutely right.

But the other clans have accepted their relocations.

The Uchiha cannot be the lone voice of dissent.

But, Captain!

I'll negotiate the conditions...

But our only choice now is to accept this move. All of you, pass the word around.

That's all.

Dismissed!

How do you feel about it, Itachi?

Let's go and see it, Father.

Uh--

The new training grounds. Come on!

I like it here.

That so?

Father, teach me a jutsu.

An Uchiha Jutsu!

Very well, then...

[inhaling]

This is the key jutsu of our clan, Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.

Now, the signs are-

[inhaling]

I did it!

[laughing]

What a surprise!

That's my boy, Itachi!

We'll be moving in no time, huh?

Yes.

What's the matter?

[grunting]

We're surrounded. I wish it were just my imagination, but...

What is it?

It's nothing.

You said, "in no time." It's just like you.

You'll be six years old soon.

Congratulations on Entering the Academy.

[excited giggling]

Congratulations on your acceptance into the Academy!

From this day forth, you must do your best to reach your goals

and become shinobi.

[giggling]

Now, I'm sure that at least some of you have already been taught a little

ninjutsu at home...

But here at the Academy, you will also train to coordinate and work together

as a team when you're in a group.

You'll learn fundamentals. They're important, so learn them well.

Hm!

[yelling]

[stunned groaning]

All right, Kamano. What's the answer?

I don't have a single clue!

Then Itachi?

It's the Water Style: Water Bomb Jutsu seal.

Correct!

[grunting]

Remember that, everyone! It will be on the test.

Itachi... come on.

Hmm...

Mm-hmm.

All right!

Begin now!

Haaaa-- [yelping]

[grunting]

[grunting]

That's match!

[giggling]

Good job!

Uh...

Sorry, Sasuke. Some other time, okay?!

[whining]

Welcome home, Father! Please, teach me a new jutsu!

A new jutsu?

Aren't they teaching you at the Academy?

Those are too easy.

Hmph.

I guess that they would be, for you.

Wait for me at the training grounds.

Right!

Just make sure you're home in time for dinner.

I got it!

Look, it's Itachi!

What? Where?!

Walking by. He's so cool!

He's looking this way!

This... This is not good. Don't you think, guys?

Yeah, I'll say! If he gets swept up in all of this and gets the wrong idea...

I agree.

I mean... the kid is already stuck up! He'll be unbearable!

He's looking at me!

No, at me!

He's walking again! Itachi's walking!

[gasping and giggling]

Let's do this.

Yeah!

Ouch!

[groaning]

Hey, you idiot, don't jump out at us like that!

"Idiot"?! Who do you think you're calling "Idiot"?!

Lemme guess; you guys are freshmen, right?

So you...

[yelping]

... run into somebody else...

[cowering]

...and they're the "idiot"?!

Ah! But, uh, you ran into us, didn't you?!

What did you say?!

[yelling]

[screaming]

Hm?! Hold it!

[panting]

What the-?! Who the hell are you?!

You a friend of theirs?

Eh?

[grunting] You freshmen this year...

... are so stuck up!!

Uh?! [yelling]

[groaning]

No way! Wow!

Mm. Take him to the infirmary.

Mm-hm.

Itachi, you're really strong, buddy!

Buddy?

You can even handle an upperclassman! Itachi, sir.

S-sir?

All right, move it! Master Itachi is coming through!

"Master"?

Now listen up, everybody! Make way for Master Itachi!

[barking orders]

Don't.

Life is born.

And life dies.

Life gathers together like a flock...

What is a shinobi?

What is... a village?

Your progress report says you're first in every class! That's my boy, Itachi!

Father.

Hmm?

Teach me a jutsu.

I want to know more about being a shinobi.

... always make sure you have an escape route. That's of the utmost importance.

Now. If you're in a format...

You're very talented for your age.

[gasping]

I'm no match for you, Shisui.

Oh, come on...

What's wrong? Is the Academy so boring that you're ditching?

I'm not ditching school.

Hm.

Come on! This isn't fair, guys!

[yelling]

[fighting and grunting]

[laughing]

So what's that look for, huh?!

Hey! Cut it out! All of you stop it!

[grunting and fighting]

Uh!

NO!

Take this!

Uh!

What happened?

Did he disappear?!

He did! He just... vanished!

That was a clone. No... wait...

That's the Shadow Clone Jutsu!

What's the matter?

I have to get back.

You do?

Shisui?

Huh?

Why must there be fighting in life?

Who knows? Although...

... if the fighting can be stopped, I'd like to stop it.

Uh! Me, too!

See ya...

In addition to the Clone Jutsu,

which is a requirement for graduating the Academy...

...Itachi Uchiha has already mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu, a forbidden jutsu.

And he excels in every other subject. There's no point in keeping him at the

Academy any longer.

Didn't he just enter as a freshman this year?

Yes.

That doesn't really matter.

This has happened before.

Yes, but that was a different era. This is not an age of war.

The boy is a genius, isn't that right?

I've never seen a student like him before.

So you think it would be better for Itachi to graduate early?

Graduate?

After just a single year at the Academy?

Yeah.

But the teacher said that both parents still have to agree.

So they want to talk to you two at the school.

Oh, I see!

Well, that's my boy, Itachi.

[whining]

Uh! Hm?

[cooing]

Heh.

Graduates, you'll be assigned missions by the village.

We're going to be putting you all into teams comprised of three shinobi.

Each one of those teams... will be under the leadership of an experienced jonin.

Whenever you're sent out on a mission... you'll be under their guidance.

All right. Now, I'm going to announce the teams.

Hey, Big Brother! What is this?

Oh, that's from that time...

Life is born... and life dies... But sometimes... life is saved again...

Wait... when I saved him back then...

... I didn't really think too deeply about it.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "The Pain of Living."

We formed a bond. That's why it happened.
