Itachi:
My foolish little brother…

[Past]

Sasuke:
Wow! You nailed every target! Even the one in the blind spot behind the rock! Alright! Now, it’s my turn!

Itachi:
No, Sasuke! It’s time to go!

Sasuke:
What happened to new Syuriken Jutsu you promised to teach me, huh?

Itachi:
It’ll be have to wait. I have an important mission tomorrow. I have to prepare.

Sasuke:
You’re such a big fat liar!

Itachi:
Sorry, Sasuke. May be some other time.

Sasuke:
Oou! Ugh… Okay! Just watch this!

Itachi:
Um? Hey! Be careful!

Sasuke:
AGH!


The Longest Moment


Itachi:
How come the one who twisted his ankle is the one who is laghing? Or maybe you’re just looking for a way to get out of walking home.

Susuke:
That’s not it. I just can’t stop thinking about how I’m gonna start the academy tomorrow. Now I finally get the chance to catch up to you, big brother!

Anbu:
Itachi… have you made up your mind yet? If you haven’t, then we will be force to take action instead.

Itachi:
No please, wait! I need more time!

Anbu:
It will be too late once the players start to make their move. The situation is extremely dire.

Itachi:
I realized that. I shall settle this… with my own hands.


Hugaku:
What?! Do you know what day tomorrow is?! I don’t really think you understand your position!

Itachi:
I’m setting out to a mission tomorrow.

Hugaku:
What are you talking about?!

Itachi:
I can’t tell you that. The mission is covered.

Hugaku:
Itachi, you also serve as the Uchiha clan’s pipe line to the village’s nerve center. You know that, don’t you?

Itachi:
Yes…

Hugaku:
Well, make sure you don’t forget it. You WILL at that meeting tomorrow.


Sasuke:
Father only cares about you Itachi…

Itachi:
You probably hate me, huh?

Sasuke:
Agh…

Itachi:
It’s alright. People often think ill of Shinobi. It’s only logical.

Sasuke:
That’s not how I feel!

Itachi:
Humph… Being a best isn’t always cracked up to be. When you have power, you become arrogant and isolated from the world. No matter how covered in sort after you were in the beginning. But with us, it’s different. Because you and I are fresh 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.

Yashiro:
Is Itachi in there?! Come here! We need to talk!

Itachi:
What’s wrong? What are you all doing here?

Yashiro:
There were two people who didn’t show up in yesterday’s assembly.

Inabi:
You wanna tell me why YOU weren’t there? You’re in the Anbu-Black Ops now, I know full well you can be call the way drop of a half and that’s the case your father was trying to make when we ask why you weren’t there.

Yashiro:
But we’re not him. So you won’t get any special treatment from us.

Itachi:
I understand. Guessed I should’ve been more careful. Well, that’ll be all, gentlemen?

Yashiro:
Yeah, sure thing… but, you know what? Before we go, there’s just one other thing. Know anything about Shisui Uchiha? He killed himself in Nakano River.

Inabi:
It’s funny. If I remember correctly, you were kind of looked up to him like an older brother, didn’t you?

Itachi:
How terrible… forgive me I haven’t seen him at all recently. What a tragedy…

Inabi:
Yeah… well, at this point, the Police Force sees no other choice but to launch an allied investigation.

Itachi:
What?

Yashiro:
This is the note Shisui left behind. We’ve already added fully analyzed. There’s no question this is his handwriting.

Itachi:
But if it wasn’t homicide, why the investigation?

Inabi:
It would be no great feet from someone possess a Sharingan to copy his handwriting.

Yashiro:
The most talented of all our clan… feared as “Shisui the Teleporter”. He was a man who would do anything, take any mission, if they was for the good of the clan.

Inabi:
Hard to imagine the man like that throwing everything away, don’t you think?

Itachi:
You shouldn’t judge by appearances or by your own preconceptions either…

Inabi:
We’ll leave that with you for now. Take it to Anbu-Black Ops and put into request for them to start sniffing around on this too.

Itachi:
Understood.

Yashiro:
Let’s just hope we get the lead on this soon…

Itachi:
Why don’t you just come out and say it?! You believe I had a hand in this don’t you?

Inabi:
Yeah, that’s right… You little punk!

[Itachi knocked out all three of them]

Itachi:
Like I said you 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… grabbling in the dirt!

Yashiro:
Shisui… have been keeping an eye on you recently. The strangeness of your behavior happened here on to your time on Anbu… couldn’t be overlooked… what are you playing you filthy little retch…

Itachi:
Obsessed with the organization… Obsessed with the clan… Obsessed with our renege… Our worthless composure that enslaves us… all that does limit our capabilities… and that in tarn leads us to feel what you don’t understand…

Hugaku:
Stop it, Itachi! That is enough! What on earth is the matter with you?! Itachi… you’ve been strange lately…

Itachi:
Nothing strange about me. I have my own duties to fulfill. That’s all…

Hugaku:
So why didn’t you come last night, then?!

Itachi:
To reach the next level…

Hugaku:
What are you talking about?

Itachi:
I have had enough of this! There’s no hope left for this pathetic clan! The people of this clan are all the same! You focus on the trivial and loath side what’s most important! Change is impossible in this far gone ignorant! How can we evolve when regulation is the only thing we’ve ever known?!

Hugaku:
Such arrogant!

Yashiro:
That’s enough! If I hear one more word of this nonsense, I’ll have you throw behind bars!

Tekka:
Well? What’s it gonna be?!

Inabi:
I can’t take this anymore! Please, sir! Just give me the order!

Sasuke:
Big brother! You have to stop!

Itachi:
I’m not the one who killed Shisui. But I apologize for the words I’ve spoken… I’m truly sorry.

Hugaku:
Well, I guess he has been pretty tired lately… up to his years in missions from the Anbu-Black Ops.

Yashiro:
But captain!

Hugaku:
Anbu are under the direct control of the Hokage. Even if you wanted to arrest one of them, it would need to get a warrant first. As for Itachi… I’ll take full responsibility. You’ve my word…

Yashiro:
Very well, sir…

Hugaku:
Inside, Itachi.

[Itachi’s eyes turned into Mangekyo Sharingan]

Mikoto:
Itachi, I’ll just leave your food here… I know you’re busy with work but, I really wish you join us for a meal once in a while.

Itachi:
Thank you… mother…

[Itachi slaughtered every Uchiha clan members]

Sasuke:
I shouldn’t have stayed practicing with my Syuriken. Now I’m totally late… Uh? What was that? I could have sworn there were someone there…

[Sasuke saw the massacred bodies]

Sasuke:
What is this?! Oh no… father and mother…

[Sasuke found Itachi]

Sasuke:
Big brother?! Father and mother were both… I don’t… understand…Just who could do something like this?! Ugh?!

Itachi:
My foolish little brother… MANGEKYO SHARINGAN!

[Sasuke saw the massacre through Mangekyo Sharingan]

Hugaku:
He is a worthy son…

Mikoto:
All your father ever talks about is you…


Sasuke:
AAAGGGHHH!!! STOP IT ITACHI! WHY ARE YOU SHOWING ME ALL THIS?!

Sasuke:
Why… why did you do this? Itachi, why?

Itachi:
To test the limit of my ability…

Sasuke:
To test your ability? That’s why you did this? You’re telling me that that was te reason that you butchered every single member of our clan?

Itachi:
It is of great importance…


Sasuke:
This isn’t like you big brother… It’s not…

Itachi:
I had acted like the older brother you desired for one reason. Because I wanted to discover how powerful you were. I needed to find the worthy opponent to test the limits of my own abilities. You have that unique potential. Now I’ve made you hate me. Now you have the desire to defeat me. Which is exactly why I’m going to allow you to live. Don’t you see? It’s all for my own benefit. Just like me, you may be one of the few people who are able to use Mangekyo Sharingan. However, there’s one big catch to it. Take a life of your best friend! You must kill him! Kill him, just like I did!

Sasuke:
You’re saying… it was you… Itachi? You killed Shisui?

Itachi:
I did. That’s how I obtained these eyes. In the main hall of Nakano shrine, underneath the seventh tatami mat from the far right… is the clan’s secret gathering place. There you will find a secret document… an explanation of Uchiha clan’s Jutsu. It tells of the Visual Jutsu’s true purpose. If you discover how to activate it, you will be the third person to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan including myself. To ensure that happens… that’s enough reason to let you live. Oh, don’t worry Sasuke. You’re not worth killing. If you wish to kill me one day, in hate and revenge, surviving in such ugly manner as this. By all means free, claim to your retched life… and then, one day when you possess the same eyes… come back and face me!


Itachi:
How much can you see with those Sharingan of yours?

Sasuke:
How much can I see with these? What I’m seeing right now, Itachi… is you dead at my feet!

Itachi:
You see me dead, do you? Well then… go on, make it happen.

[Sasuke vs. Itachi]

Sasuke:
Chidori! Chidori Stream!

[Sasuke stabbed Itachi]

Itachi:
You have… gotten strong…

Sasuke:
Listen close, Itachi. I have one final thing to ask of you.

[Itachi was still alive]

Sasuke:
The exact same words as before and crows as well. Starting with your favorite Genjutsu farce, huh?

Itachi:
So what do you want to know? It won’t be the last thing, but I’ll hear what you have to say.

Sasuke:
Let me try this again…

[Sasuke stabbed Itachi from his back]

Itachi:
Genjutsu…

Sasuke:
I have one last thing to ask! You hear me, you bastard?! Answer my question! The pain in your chest won’t stop until you do!

Itachi:
You deliberately avoided the vital spot…

Sasuke:
Remember what you said?

Itachi [Past]:
If you discover how to activate it, you will be the third person to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan including myself. To ensure that happens… that’s enough reason to let you live.

Sasuke:
The third one… the other one with that Sharingan. Who in the Uchiha clan obtained it?

Itachi:
But why? Why do you even concern yourself with such a thing?

Sasuke:
I’m going to go kill him after you! That is why.

Itachi:
Kill him?

Sasuke:
Back when you slaughtered our entire clan, you mentioned the existence of another… The other Uchiha that you didn’t kill. He must have been a co-conspirator… because even you couldn’t have taken down the Leaf Police Force alone.

Itachi:
So, you figured it out.

Sasuke:
Who is it?!

Itachi:
Madara… Uchiha…

Sasuke:
…?!


Nine Tails:
With that vision of yours and the chakra that ominous than my own… You’re the spitting image of Madara Uchiha… from the elder age…

Sasuke:
Never heard of him. Am I supposed to care?


Sasuke:
Madara Uchiha…

Itachi:
One of the founders of the Hidden Leaf Village. The man who first awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.


<Preview>

Itachi:
Madara Uchiha… the only man who was able to uncover the other secret of the Mangekyo Sharingam.

Sasueke:
If it’s Madara, one of the founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, he should be dead by now. Who could believe a story like that?

Itachi:
Madara is still alive. Whether you choose to believe that is entirely up to you.

Sasuke:
Next time, “The Light & Dark of the Mangekyo Sharingan”.

Itachi:
Let me tell you a little bit about the past…
