Naruto 587

*Not for use.

1)
587: Once it becomes 9 PM
slanted: Izanami activates...!!
1: Putting him in a loop like this makes it easier for eye jutsu to work on him.
2(2b): So then...Kabuto's really stuck in that loop? That's what Izanami is...?
3: When did you set it?
4: When Kabuto first stabbed me with his katana.
5: ...back then...
6(2b): But how? How can there be eye jutsu that doesn't involve the eyes?
7(2b): Izanami is an eye jutsu...that activates by the body senses of you and your opponent.
8: ...body senses?

2)
1(2b): At any moment while in action...you can memorize you and your opponent's body senses with eye power, like a photograph.
2: Let's call that A.
3: Then you can purposefully recreate that same body sense.
4: Use your eye power in that moment in the same way, creating another photograph memory, A'.
5(2b): Izanami works by linking A and A'. They connect everything that happens in between.
6: Flow of Time
7: drop
8: Flow of Time
9: crack
10: plop
11: crack
12: It has the ability to create an endless loop.

3)
1(2b): Of course, this all comes in exchange for losing your eyesight. Just like Izanagi.
2(2b): So Kabuto's consciousness is trapped in an endless loop fighting against an illusionary Itachi and me...
3(2b): No...there's actually a way to get out of the loop. Izanami was created in order to save and give a warning to users of Izanagi.
4: What do you mean?
5: Seems like you know a bit about Izanagi...
6: It's called the perfect Uchiha eye jutsu which has the power to change fate.
7: If something doesn't go as you wish it did, you can erase it and change things back.
8: In other words, it allows you to pick the results you want.

4)
1: In great battles where the Uchiha can absolutely not fail,
2: Izanagi can make great contributions.
3: However...this jutsu actually has a greater risk that losing eyesight.
4: This exceedingly strong jutsu can make the user conceited, and can become a primary factor for him going on a rampage.
5: If there's only one Izanagi user, then it's no problem.
6: But if over two use it, then a fight begins between Uchiha over a personally convenient result.
7: Izanami was created to stop that.
8: Since they won't fall into eye jutsu through their eyesight.

5)
1: When you try to change the result with Izanagi during Izanami,
2: Erases the "X" path and chooses a different "O path"
3: Paths with two options
top right: Izanagi
top left: Izanami
4: When you erase the "X" path and go down the "O" path you begin to repeat the same thing over and over again.
5: you end up going around and around in the same spot.
6(2b): But Izanami was created to stop Izanagi...so there's a way to get out from the loop!
7(2b): It was originally a jutsu meant to save an Uchiha from conceit and negligence. A jutsu to stop someone who tried to use jutsu to easily run away from the truth.

6)
1: When you really accept the result and stop running, you will come out from the Izanami loop yourself.
2: Without relying on jutsu...this jutsu leads one to accept their own fates.
3(2b): Jutsu like this, with ways out are too dangerous to use in actual battles. That's why Izanami was made forbidden.
4(2b): Therefore, if Kabuto stops trying to become someone other than himself, he'll be able to escape the loop.
5: Why...did you go out of your way to use this jutsu on him?
6: If he can escape...
7: ...he resembles the old me.
8: He falsely believes that he has everything and can do anything.
9: So he fears failure and lies to himself that he doesn't fail.

7)
1: In my situation, I stopped believing in others as a way to rose tint the truth for myself.
2: But Kabuto, he thinks that others' power all belongs to himself in order to deceive himself.
3(2b): I understand him...we were both manipulated in the world of shinobi. And we both couldn't bring ourselves to forgive ourselves...
4(2b): He is in the wrong, that's for sure. But...it's wrong only to blame him.
5: I want Kabuto to realize this before he dies, unlike me...

8)
1: Why do you feel so much obligation toward a guy like this?!
2: He's different from you! You were perfect!
3: Sasuke.
4: ...I went as far as using a the Kotoamatsukami eye jutsu on you and leading you to be controlled.
5: I treated you as a child more than any other,
6: without looking at you as one who should be protected. I didn't trust in your strength.
7: Anyway. No single thing is perfect by itself.
8(2b): That's why we're born to attract other things to make up for what we lack...I think we start walking in the right direction only after we start getting our counterparts beside us.

9)
1(2b): Just like the Izanami...and Izanagi jutsu.
2(2b): Look at me. I want you to find what I don't have.
3: Don't go telling me I'm perfect.
4: First...

10)
1: This can't be!!
2: I'm supposed to be perfect!!
3: This...
4: isn't me!!
5: gah
6: How many times are you going to keep changing into Orochimaru? If you want to get out of this loop, then acknowledge your failure.
7: Shut up!!
8: clack
9: I know a Katon is coming here!

11)
1: Suiton - Suiryuu (Water Dragon)
2: Suiton - Suiryuudan no Jutsu!! (Water Dragon Bullet)
3: He used the Sharingan to anticipate the attack...!
4: Uwahhh!
5: plop

12)
1: Where have I failed?!
2: Where is there failure in what I've done thus far...?!
3: I just...
4: wanted someone...
5: to see me...

13)
1: To see my existence!
2: I wanted to be acknowledged!!
3: How did I fail in that?!

14)
1(2b): First...you must acknowledge himself, as you are.
2(2b): If you can do that, then you won't have to lie to anyone. Not to you or me.
3: Should have been asleep by now...
4: Damn you, Itachi...!

15)
1(2b): There is no trust in lies. It allows you to entrust your safety to no one. And...lies also blind you to your true self.
2: grab
3: If only...if only I hadn't been shut up in this thing...
4: I could have won the war by now...
5: clack

16)
1: It's already 9 PM...
2: What's wrong?
3(2b): Nah...I was just thinking, I'd wish they'd finish this war already so I could get some sleep. Shinobi on the bottom like us have no idea what's going on...we never get the details...
4(2b): ...yeah, I guess...what are you going to do after the war?
5: Go back home.
6(2b): If the five countries can stay friends after the war...then my little brother, who I haven't been able to see because he's been on a mission, will return.
7: I'm jealous that you have a place to return to...
8: Wanna come with me?
9: Huh?

17)
1: I live in an orphanage.
2: And if my little brother's there, then he'll be able to inspect your wounds.
3: Thanks...Urushi.
4: I just hope you come back this time...
5: Kabuto.
6: Next, I'll stop the Edo Tensei jutsu.
slanted: The time has finall come...!!
