Sasuke thinks the light of the moon will wane giving them a chance but until it does theres not much they can do. he remembers Itachi giving him his memories. and also his thoughts suffering pain and knowledge. He thinks kmadaras doesn't know the true uchiha only itachi was one.
A young itachi rushes through a foggy area filled with bodies before coming across a massive battle.
as the battle ends he walks through the carnage finding a wounded Rock Shinobi who he gives water to. the shinobi sees his tools though and attacks him causing Itachi to kill him in an instant as Fugaku stands nearby.
itachi asks why the man tried to kill him evne though he didn't do anything. Fugakau says its because theyre at war. a war between nations which leads to the pointless killing. Fugakau tells him to never forget the sight of the battlefield.
At the funeral later.one of the Uchiha talks about how the third hokage is stepping down after the war and some want Fugaku installed as hokage but he hushes them. One also asks about kakashi and whether they should take the sharingan bacl but fugaku tells them no they should respect obitos wishes as he fought bravely. he tells them not to sow dscord as they finally have peace, and it is the duty of the uchiha to maintain it.
itachi sees orochimaru standing neary who talks about how grieving the dead is pointless and they should take advantage of the dead. itachi asks him the meaning of life but orochimaru tells him there is none unless it is eternal.
itachi thinks on this then jumps off a cliff. as he falls he hears the caw of a raven and suddenly turns and slows his fall with kunai. when he lands he looks at the raven and says no one wants to die huh? Itachi finds himself surrounded by a flock of ravens that fly off before one lands on his arm. and he once more asks what life is anyways.
Later on Mikoto leaves the hospital and Itachi asks if shes ill. she tells him shes fine and that hes going to be a big brother. she hugs itahci to her belly and he says itll be a brother. she smiles as the snow starts falling. and says itll be born in the summer.
in the summer sasuke is born and fugaku says hes named him sasuke after ther third hokages father. Itachi remembers a time when he was small like sasuke and fugaku and mikoto held him like thatr.
as itachi walks past the memorial thinking of birth and death a female student in his class asks him to play with them but itachi walks away. some of the kids ask him if ehs dissing them but he says he ahs shuriken training. the kids pick up rocks and throw some at him but he easily dodges all of them without ever looking back as he contemplates life and death. As the girl yells at them to stop.
Finally Itachi catches one of the rocks over his shoulder turns on the spot and nails all the other rocks finally knocking the last one out of a kids hand. before walking away.
Kushina awes and oogles sasuke asking mikoto if hes a girl.
later mikoto informs itachi that she and fugaku must go out for work and asks him to watch Sasuke. itachi asks if the 4th will have a baby too and she asys yes wondering what it will be.
On the ridge above the village tobi disappears as itachi comments on the full moon before feeling something ominous with the wind.
episode ends.
next episode looks to be more of itahcis genius and budding relationship with the girl from this episode.
