Hey boys, listen up!
Humans aren't such a big deal
Who needs tomorrow anyway,
so don't hide your fists
You're not old enough
to sell your dreams away to uncertainty
Hey boys, you're the only ones
who can pull the trigger in your heart
All the kids said
We're living in this senseless, ridiculous,
awesome world right at this moment,
All the kids said
Don't forget every truth or lie
All the kids said
We're way too young to die
In this empty town lined with empty faces
All the kids took off
into this windless night
Because they want to change something
Sasuke!
You punk!
What's with... this guy?
Why...?
Damn it...
Is this the best you've got?
If this is all you've got, I still don't need to use that...
What?
You haven't realized it? I... haven't used my Sharingan.
Don't mock me!
You don't have enough strength or desire...
You are weak.
Why you are weak? Because you don't have enough... hatred.
If I kept playing comrade with you guys...
I wouldn't have... been able to get...
...this much power!
That's right... I need...
Both power... and hatred... in order to catch up with him.
Brothers. Distance Among the Uchiha
Big Brother... I'll get off.
Don't push it...
Okay...
Oh...
What's up?
This is the place... where Father works, right?
Yeah... The headquarters of the Leaf Police Force.
I was curious about it from before,
but why's the Uchiha Clan crest on the Police Force mark?
Oh... so you noticed, huh?
Of course...
Yeah... Let me see... To put it simply...
it seems the previous generations of the Uchiha Clan
set up and established the Police Force.
So they used their own crest for the symbol mark of this organization.
From olden times, the Uchiha Clan has always been
in charge of protecting the public and the peace of this village.
The Uchiha crest is a testament to the proud clan.
The Uchiha Clan has gotten small now.
But even now, nearly all members belong to this first force here.
And contribute to maintaining peace in the village.
Only even more exceptional Shinobi can crack down on the crimes
committed by Shinobi, so...
Sure enough, father's awesome!
Leaf Police Force Are you going to enter the Police Force, too?
Well... I'm not sure...
Why not?!
When I grow up, I'm also going to enter the Police Force, so!
Father's also coming to tomorrow's entrance ceremony.
It's the first step to my dream.
That's right.
You're late... What were you doing?
Father...
I have something to talk to you about. Come quickly.
That's my boy.
You've come this far just half a year after being promoted to Chunin.
About tomorrow's special mission...
I've decided to go with you, too.
Tomorrow?
If you complete this mission, Itachi...
your entrance into the Anbu Black Ops is almost assured!
You understand, right?
You don't have to be so worried. More importantly...
Umm... Father...
Tomorrow's my...
Tomorrow's mission will be a very important mission not just for you,
but for the Uchiha Clan!
I'm quitting tomorrow's mission, after all.
What're you doing talking insanity?!
You should know how important a day tomorrow is!
I'm going to Sasuke's Academy entrance ceremony tomorrow...
The general rule is for relatives to attend the Academy entrance ceremony.
There was the notice, right... Father?
I get it already.
I'll go to the Academy...
Your left leg...
Be sure to ice it.
Right...
Big Brother... He's so distant...
Entrance Ceremony
Everyone! Congratulations on your entrance!
From here on, please work very hard towards striving for the Shinobi path.
And I'd like you to bring further prosperity to the Hidden Village in the Leaf.
Gee... I remember the time when Itachi entered.
Just what I'd expect from his brother.
Thank you for your help with both boys.
Oh, it's nothing like that.
The first prodigy since the beginning of the Academy...
There were no students as exceptional as that boy.
That's a bit too much praise.
Not at all...
I'm hopeful for you, too.
Become a fine Shinobi like your big brother.
Yes.
Hey... That's Uchiha, right?
Yeah.
I wonder... if he's awesome, too.
Hmm... Must be.
Recess at last! What a drag. I'm still not used to this place...
You want some too, Shikamaru?
I mean, all of your recesses have become meal times.
That's my boy...
I've great confidence you'll make it great in Anbu.
This won't do!
Won't do!
I've got a long way... to go...
Really...
You should rest your body on your days off at least.
You don't have to push it.
I heard... that Big Brother graduated from the Academy in just one year.
The times are different, then and now.
Besides, that kid is a bit special, so...
That's my boy...
Now, I'm going to hand out the report cards for the first half.
Taijutsu: 1 st in class and academy Ninjutsu: 1 st in class and academy Individual rank: 1 st in class and academy Team rank: 1 st in class and academy
Do a fine job in this vein like your big brother.
Father... I wanted you to say, "That's my boy," to me...
What did you say?
What do you mean you can't participate in the assembly tomorrow?!
You don't understand your own position!
I'm setting out on a mission tomorrow.
What're they doing this late at night with the lights off?
What mission?!
I can't say... It's a top secret mission.
Itachi... You also have the role of the pipe which connects the clan
with the keystone of the village.
You know that, don't you?
Yeah...
Keep that well in mind! And come to tomorrow's assembly!
Sasuke...
Get to bed after you've gone to the bathroom.
Right...
What're you doing hanging around this late at night?
Get to bed!
Okay.
Report Card
Father only thinks about you, Big Brother...
Am I loathsome to you?
It's okay.
It's logical for Shinobi to be ill thought of by people, so...
That's not how I feel...
Brother's right. I really do... think ill of him...
Excellence is not easy at all.
If you have power, you become alienated and also arrogant.
Even if you're coveted and sought after at first.
But, we only have each other for siblings.
I will continue to exist with you as a wall you must get over...
Even if I'm ill-thought of... That's what a big brother is.
Is Itachi home?!
I have something to talk to you about. Come out!
Why's everyone gathered here?
There are two people who didn't come to yesterday's assembly.
Why didn't you come?!
He didn't go to the assembly Father was talking about last night, after all.
I understand that when you enter Anbu,
you get roped into various troublesome things.
Your father also said something like that in your defense.
But for us, we don't intend to treat you special.
Understood. I shall be careful next time.
Now I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Right... But before that, there's a little more I want to ask you...
It's about Shisui Uchiha who threw himself into the Nakano River to kill himself.
Threw himself?!
The other person who didn't come to the assembly is that Shisui.
As I recall, you adored him like a real older brother.
I see... I hadn't seen him at all recently.
That's too bad.
And we the Police Force have decided to launch an all-out investigation.
Investigation?!
This is the will Shisui wrote.
The analysis of the handwriting has been completed.
No mistake, he did indeed write it.
If there are no murder leads, then what's the investigation?
It'd be easy for a person who can use Sharingan to copy handwriting, you see...
The most adept Uchiha.
The man feared as Shisui, "the Instantaneous Man.
He was a man who would take the lead no matter what the mission
if it was for the sake of the clan.
It's tough to think that
such a man would leave something like this and kill himself.
You shouldn't judge people... only on looks and speculation.
For the time being, I leave the will with you.
Take that and you request cooperation in the investigation from Anbu Black Ops.
Understood...
I hope we get a lead.
A Iso, we have a different route to Anbu Black Ops.
We'll know right away if you do something like crushing the investigation request.
Why don't you just come right out and say it?
You suspect me, right?
Yeah. That's right, you little punk...
Listen up, Itachi.
Just try doing something like betraying the clan and...
it'll cost you!
I told you before.
You shouldn't judge people... only on looks and speculation.
It's because you take the liberty to judge me as patient and take me lightly.
Clan... Clan...
You measure incorrectly the size of your own vessels
and don't know the depth of mine, so you grovel there...
I've never seen him like this...
Shisui... was monitoring you recently...
Half a year after entering Anbu...
the strangeness of your behavior couldn't be overlooked.
What the hell are you thinking?
Fixated on the organization,
fixated on the clan, fixated on the name.
It's a dreadful thing that constrains oneself and labels one's own vessel.
And it's a foolish thing...
that fear and hate... what one has never seen or known...
Stop, Itachi!
What the hell's the matter with you?!
Itachi... You've been a little strange lately.
I'm not strange at all.
I'm carrying out my own role... That's it.
Then why didn't you come last night?
In order to elevate myself higher...
What're you talking about?
My vessel is dismayed at this foolish clan!
From olden times, the Uchiha Clan has all along
been in charge protecting the peace of this village.
The Uchiha crest is a testament to the proud clan.
That's my boy...
I've great confidence you'll do great in Anbu Black Ops.
Because you're fixated on insignificant things like clans...
you lose sight of what's truly important.
True change cannot be made if stuck within the restrictions of regulations,
and constrained predictions and imagination...
Saying such arrogant things!
Enough! You'll be imprisoned if you say any more foolish nonsense.
Excellence is not easy at all.
If you have power, you become alienated and also arrogant...
even if you're coveted and sought after at first...
Why... Big Brother?
What do you say?!
I can't tolerate it anymore... Captain, order imprisonment!
Big Brother! Stop it already!
I'm not the one who killed Shisui.
But I apologize for my numerous slips of the tongue.
I'm very sorry...
Recently, it seems he's been up to his ears in Anbu Black Ops missions
and was a little tired...
Captain!
The Anbu Black Ops is a force under the direct control of Lord Hokage...
Even we the Police Force can't arrest him, if we don't have an arrest warrant.
And as for Itachi...
I will take the responsibility and monitor him.
Please...
Understood...
With this, you've woken up, right?
We had a hindrance back at that time...
But it won't be like that this time.
I'll show you... the true power of Sharingan.
When I recalled the parts one by one,
I felt as though I had understood everything
Faded words which I kept so close to me
Speechless nights, a hint of warmth,
and this distant yearning for you
I live, simply repeating this cycle
Held in my two hands A droplet of time
Softly clutching forgotten memories Lost words
I'll keep these thoughts...
Give me all you've got, Naruto.
Or is this all you've got?
You were talking impudently about your Way of Ninja
and this is all you've got?
You've gotta be kidding! Right now, you're not even worth beating!
