Chapter 587: When 9 p.m. arrives\\
1
inserted text: Izanami activation...!!\\
itachi: It will be easy to use a genjutsu on him now that he is trapped in this loop\\
sasu: So... right now Kabuto fell into a “loop”?\\ So this is Izanami...\\
sasu: When did you set it up?\\
itachi: From the moment Kabuto first pierced me with that katana\\
sasu: … From that moment, huh...\\
sasu: But how did you do that?\\ You couldn’t affect his vision, so how did you use an eye technique?\\
itachi: Izanami is an eye technique...\\ that entraps your opponent due to the physical sensations you share with him\\
sasu: … The physical sensation you share?\\
2
itachi: You can choose any arbitrary moment you want...\\ and make both your body and that of your opponent remember that instant like a photograph by using your eye power once\\
itachi: Let’s call it point A\\
itachi: and then you intentionally reproduce that physical sensation a second time.\\
itachi: and in the same way you make a picture of that moment with your eye power and create a point A’\\
itachi: Because Izanami overlaps and connects those two points\\ it is able to connect the flow of time comprised between those two points as well\\
itachi: in other words, it’s a power that creates an infinite loop\\
the three labels: flow of time\\
3
itachi: Naturally, in exchange for that, you lose the light in one of your eyes\\ just like Izanagi\\
sasu: So Kabuto’s consciousness will be sealed forever inside of that loop\\ while fighting against those illusionary version of you and me...\\
itachi: No... there is a proper way prepared to escape from that loop\\ originally Izanami was created as a technique used to reprimand and save the Izanagi’s user\\
sasu: What do you mean?\\
itachi: It seems like you already know a little bit about Izanagi...\\
itachi: It’s said that it is a perfect Uchiha technique that is able to change destiny\\
itachi: If things don’t go the way you want them to, you can erase them and begin again\\
itachi: in a certain sense it’s a trick that let you choose only the outcomes that are favorable to you\\
4
itachi: Izanagi is a technique that was a powerful weapon\\
itachi: in the times when the Uchiha clan fought in large battles it couldn’t afford to lose.\\
itachi: But... with a technique capable of changing things to one’s heart’s content, there was a bigger risk than losing one’s eyesight\\
itachi: it seems that the principal danger was that the incredibly powerful eye technique would overcome the caster himself and make him go on a rampage.\\
itachi: There’s no issue if there’s only one person using Izanagi\\
itachi: but if there are two or more casters, they would begin to fight amongst each other over favorable outcomes\\
itachi: and Izanami was created in order to stop that\\
itachi: an opponent who fights with his eyesight wouldn’t fall into an eyesight genjutsu, after all\\

5
itachi: Izanami is a mechanism that makes you repeat the same loop for your whole life\\
itachi: in the case you used izanagi in order to change the situation in your favor\\
on the diagram{
above: Izanami\\
box1: if you erased the X path and go to the ○ path it will make you repeat the same thing in a loop\\
upper right: Izanagi\\
box under the arrows: path with 2 choices\\
lower box: path X was erased and a different path ○ was chosen\\
itachi: But Izanami is a technique to stop Izanagi...\\ so there is also a way to escape from that technique\\
itachi: This originally was a technique created in order to save the fellow Uchihas from their pride and carelessness.\\ It is a technique that stops those who want to run away from reality by using a technique\\
6
itachi: Once one accepts the real results of his actions without running away, Izanami’s loop will dissolve by itself\\
itachi: Rather than relying on a technique to change destiny... it guides one to accept his destiny on his own\\
iitachi: It is dangerous to use a technique with a way out in a real battle\\ so that’s why Izanami became a forbidden technique\\
itachi:Only when Kabuto stops trying to become someone else,\\ he will be able to escape the loop\\
sasu: Why... why did you go through all that trouble to use this technique on Kabuto?\\
sasu: If he escapes...\\
itachi: ...He’s similar to how I was in the past.\\
itachi: We intended to blindly accept anything and become whatever we could in order to obtain everything,\\
itachi: that’s why he was scared of his own mistakes and lied to himself saying there is no way he could ever fail\\
7
itachi: as a result, I stopped trusting others as a way to deceive myself.\\
itachi: In Kabuto’s case he convinced himself that other peoples’ power is his own power as a way way to deceive himself\\
itachi: I understand him well... we are both people who were toyed with by the Shinobi world\\ and we became unable to forgive and accept ourselves no matter what would happen...\\
itachi: it is true that what he is doing now is wrong\\ but... it is also wrong to put all the blame on him\\
itachi: I want kabuto to realize it before he dies, unlike what happened to me...\\
8
sasu: Why do you feel the need to do such a thing for a guy like him!?\\
sasu: He is different from you! you were perfect!!\\
itachi: Sasuke\\
itachi: … I intended to use an eye technique called Kotoamatsukami as a means to manipulate and guide you\\
itachi: I treated you like a child more than anyone else\\
itachi: I only saw you as an object I had to protect\\ and I didn’t believe in your own strength\\
itachi: there probably isn’t a thing that can be perfect by itself\\
itachi: that’s why we draw ourselves toward those that can compensate for us...\\ I think that if we have something that balances us out close by, we will be able to head in the right direction even if it starts out slow.\\
9
itachi: just like...\\ Izanagi and Izanami\\
itachi: I want you to look at me...\\ and search within yourself for the things I didn’t have\\
itachi: that’s why... I don’t want you to say that I was perfect\\
itachi: first...\\
10
kabu: Impossible!!\\
kabu: I will become a perfect being!!\\
kabu: this isn’t...\\
kabu: the real me!!\\
sfx: gah\\
itachi: How long are you just going to be Orochimaru’s replacement?\\ If you want to escape from that loop, look at your failures and correct them\\
kabu: Shut up!!\\
sfx: clack\\
kabu: I know he’s about to use a Katon!\\
11
kabu: suiton suiryuu-\\
itachi: suiton suiryuudan no jutsu!!(water release, water dragon bullet)\\
kabu: he anticipated my technique by using the sharingan...!\\
kabu: uwaaah!!\\
sfx: drip\\
12
kabu: What do you mean I failed!?\\
kabu: When did I ever fail at anything I did...!?\\
kabu: I just...\\
kabu: wanted someone...\\
kabu: to see...\\
13
kabu: my existence!\\
kabu: To accept my existence!!\\
kabu: How is that a failure!?\\
14-15
itachi: First...\\ you had to accept that you are yourself\\
itachi: if you were able to do that you wouldn’t have to lie to others...\\ or to yourself\\
itachi: You cannot rely on lies and they can’t help you find comrades you can entrust your life with\\ and... lies make you lose sight of your real self\\
kabu: if... if I wasn’t trapped in this place...\\
kabu: I would have won this war by now...\\
sfx: clack\\
kabu: and it would be time to go to bed...\\
kabu: damn you Itachi...!\\
16
?: it is 9 p.m. already...\\
??: is something wrong?\\
?: no... I was just thinking about quitting this war as soon as possible and get a good night of sleep...\\ they don’t care about low ranking ninjas like us... so they don’t let us know the details...\\
??: I guess...\\ what will you do once this war is over?\\
?: first I will go back home\\
?: if the 5 great countries will continue to get along like this after the war...\\ maybe I will be able to meet my younger brother who can’t come home because of his mission\\
??: I envy those who have a place to go back to...\\
?: would you come too? ...along with me?\\
??: eh?\\
17
?: my home is an orphanage\\
?: and if my little brother is there he will look after your wounds...\\
??: thanks... Urushi\\
urushi: be sure to come back this time...\\
urushi: Kabuto\\
itachi: now I will stop Edo Tensei\\
