"I had nothing..." "This is still not enough..." "This is still not me!" "That's why..." "I've kept adding onto myself." "That's why I don't need your lectures." "I need your abilities and intel. you're of the famed Uchiha bloodline." "You possess the Sharingan that has awakened the Mangekyo..." "You bore many secrets and stopped a war..." "You had many jutsu and much power." "you possessed many things that made you who you are." "There is no finer Reanimation out there of mine than you." "And my pawns are part of my power!" "You exaggerate..." "I failed." "I'm still quite envious of that name." "The Uchiha name merely identifies one's bloodline and clan membership." "So it's meaningless for you to claim it." "I was nobody." "I had nothing." "I bet he's from that city... where that recent battle was!" "Where are your parents?" "Don't worry." "but I know some Medical Ninjutsu." "How about..." "Kabuto?" "Sounds simple." "That was quick." "You called it by just how he looks." "It's best not to overthink things." "Until I was given a name... and a place to call home..." "Claiming a name is meaningless?" "No..." "It does hold meaning." "Are you sure we can't kill him?" "We're stuck playing catch-up!" "I told you no!" "He controls the battlefield right now." "Be patient." "Is the Izanami still not ready?" "He's about to come after us!" "I'm already on him." "It's just going to take a little more time." "Lord Orochimaru said thusly..." "Sakon!" "Demon Twin Jutsu!" "Jirobo!" "Earth Style:" "Terra Shield! all you need to do is gather every single thing and piece of information that exists in this world!" "Kidomaru!" "Spiral Web!" "These threads can't be cut with a blade!" "– Amaterasu!" "– Amaterasu!" "Kimimaro!" "Macabre Bone Pulse!" "Bracken Dance!" "He's laid down the spider silk all the way to the back." "Brother!" "Can you still use the Susano'o?" "Yeah." "Inferno Style!" "Flame Control!" "Running away to the back?" "it's no use!" "Tayuya!" "Demon Flute:" "Chains of Fantasia!" "Sasu—?" "!" "huh?" "cannot stifle sound..." "I knew it..." "Now you're immobilized." "All that's left is... to take you into me using Lord Orochimaru!" "The Izanami Activated" "Sasuke..." "Do you recognize this current form of mine?" "That's...!" "I was finally able to take" "Lord Orochimaru into my body after you killed him!" "this is my true form... which Lord Orochimaru researched and compiled for so long... are now stored and being used inside of me." "The only thing that was missing..." "was Lord Orochimaru himself!" "I have him inside me!" "Sasuke!" "Kabuto..." "You are not Orochimaru." "It's fine to imitate someone you respect... to that extent." "The majority of people start out by mimicking someone." "Like how Sasuke mimicked you." "Brother!" "even the one in the blind spot behind the rock!" "my turn!" "Sasuke!" "It's time to go." "You said that you would teach me a new shuriken jutsu." "I have an important mission tomorrow that I must prepare for." "You're a liar..." "Sasuke." "– Maybe some other time." "– Ow!" "watch this!" "Hey!" "Don't be reckless..." "Keep at it and become great like your brother." "Father..." "I..." "I wanted you to say that you were proud of me." "Such behavior is merely a process to help one mature! like you've done!" "You gain nothing when you attach your self-value to something external that's admirable and praiseworthy to you." "I'll say this one last time." "Don't mislead yourself with lies." "Those who cannot acknowledge themselves will invariably fail." "Fail?" "The way I am now?" "How?" "!" "Sasuke..." "Look into my eyes!" "I understand!" "Genjutsu..." "Sharingan!" "Tsukuyomi!" "I shall now engage the Izanami." "You have already...failed." "Is it over?" "A genius that had everything would never understand..." "I just want to be who and what I am!" "I won't let anyone stop me." "Sa...suke..." "Fire Style:" "Fireball Jutsu!" "Water Style:" "Giant Waterfall!" "The same moves." "As expected..." "It makes it easy for me to counter. wounding me is meaningless." "genjutsu won't work on me." "You have no chance of winning." "Your fate is already in my hands." "Thanks to the Uchiha's other Forbidden Jutsu." "That is..." "Well then..." "Shall we put that to the test?" "!" "...the Izanami!" "do not leave my side." "Why this is just like déjà vu." "I'm bored..." "Let's end this fight already." "Your fate may be in my hands now... but you're the only one who can truly decide how that fate shapes your destiny." "Remember what I've told you." "And think hard." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Enough of your word games." "I will have everything..." "I am the strongest of all!" "That is fact!" "who can acknowledge one's true self... is the most powerful of all!" "Losers... should be quiet!" "This is..." "What's...going on?" "Why?" "That horn's already been cut off!" "How?" "I have no sight..." "I should be invulnerable to genjutsu." "But this is clearly a...!" "What did you do to me?" "!" "You're in my Visual Jutsu." "Impossible!" "It's the Izanami!" "How...?" "No matter." "No one can stop me!" "There's nothing I can't do!" "I told you..." "I hold your fate in my hands." "Itachi Uchiha!" "If this is a genjutsu..." "Release!" "Calm down..." "This is an Uchiha Genjutsu." "so it won't be easy to undo." "But there are many ways to undo a genjutsu!" "It's useless." "Recall my words to you." "Sure!" "I'll copy the same trick you two used!" "Tayuya!" "Demon Flute:" "Chains of Fantasia!" "This will switch from Itachi's control over genjutsu to Tayuya's control." "I'll do this!" "Sage Art..." "Inorganic Animation!" "This area is under my control!" "I'll retreat for now..." "Damn it!" "Don't mess with me!" "this loop." "This is the other Forbidden Jutsu..." "the companion to Izanagi." "The jutsu that decides one's fate..." "This is the Izanami." "Tailed Beast Counting Song!" "here we go!" "says Shukaku" "says Shukaku" "Matatabi" "Matatabi leave the water to Isobu leave the water to Isobu" "Son Goku" "Son Goku" "Kokuo" "Kokuo" "Saiken" "Saiken" "Chomei" "Chomei" "Gyuki" "Gyuki ko-kon" cries the mighty Kurama ko-kon" cries the mighty Kurama" "All the Tailed Beasts have finally come together" "but they're nice names" "They're all splendid names" "They're all wonderful names the Jinchuriki!"

"They're all splendid shinobi" "They're all wonderful shinobi" "So Kabuto's trapped in your loop now?" "The Izanami is a jutsu meant for stopping the Izanagi." "There's an escape route built into the loop." "What does that mean? the Izanami came to be." "Next time on Naruto Shippuden:" ""Izanagi and Izanami"" "and their history of conflict." "IZANAGI AND IZANAMI" "Tune in again!"
