Episode 357: An Uchiha ANBU
Date: 4/3/14

Today, on episode 357: An Uchiha ANBU a replacement is needed on the team of Kakashi. It just so happeneds that Itachi Uchiha fills in from under Lord Danzo's ANBU. At first you would assume or think that Guy would be the replacement but surely when he ask's Lord Danzo to join him under his ANBU black op's he without hesitation tells him "no, you lack it". This confuses Guy and makes him question, "well what is it that I could possibly lack as a shinobi only using taijutsu out of ninjutsu and genjutsu?" this is irrelevant however, Danzo goes into detail to tell Guy that he lacks "Darkness". Guy doesn't fully understand this right away. As a replacement Itachi Uchiha does not bite off more than he can chew and makes very well first impressions with his comrades and captain of team Ro which would be Kakashi despite the fact of his age only being 11 years old the others choose to test whether or not he is ANBU material without the authorization of Kakashi which bring hostility to Kakashi towards his squad in defence of Itachi Uchiha. As team Ro proceeded to do throw kunai's and shuriken at Itachi he without effort dodges all of these attacks making him worthy enough in skill to proceed on team Ro. Kakashi finds this offensive and disrespectful to the higher ranks in the village who have appointed him this position meaning that if he was not worthy of such a task he would not have been given the replacement position with captain Kakashi. Itachi finds himself threatened when the others inform him that Kakashi will not hesitate to kill a comrade for the sake of the hidden leaf village. This has been proven otherwise when Itachi asks him for himself if it was true or not when Kakashi replies and says, "I'll never let me friends get killed" which pretty much seals the deal on that rumor of him because he killed Rin a former comrade of his. Kakashi and Itachi set out on their mission which is if the land of the woods deceive the hidden leaf village in the exchange of intel within scrolls they are suppose to swap then leave no enemy survivors. Itachi and Kakashi come to a clear understanding of the true meaning of their mission which is the symbolism of the ANBU black op's itself and the hidden leaf village. While Guy and the others set out on a mission to swap scrolls representing the light of the hidden leaf the ANBU hides behind trees and makes sure that the mission goes well from afar representing the darkness of the hidden leaf. This symbolizes the shinobi system of the hidden leaf village how the two work together as one for the interest of the future of the hidden leaf village. When the land of the woods do deceive the hidden leaf village Itachi ensures that there are no enemy survivors before Kakashi can even think about killing his impaired enemies. The two complete their missions however, Itachi questions how and why Kakashi has the sharingan in his eye. Kakashi explains that it has been entrusted to him by a friend to ensure that he will not allow any of his friends to die on his behalf. Itachi questions as to it was his or was it given to him and whether or not he was comfortable with wielding a power that did not belong to him and his feelings on the subject not being an Uchiha wielding the sharingan in his eyes. Kakashi reveals his answers in a moment of enlightenment with obito referred to as "my friend" that it was entrusted to him again. Towards the end of this mission Kakashi and Itachi's mission is revealed to the others who were unaware of Itachi and Kakashi even being on a mission that no enemy survivors were to be left if the land of the woods betrayed the hidden leaf. As guy watches Itachi kill the enemy survivors he then recognizes as to why he is not suited to be in the ANBU black op's along with kakashi. Even though that Itachi is young and an ANBU member he is reminded by his father and clan at a clan meeting that he serves to protect the hidden leaf village however that he is Itachi of the Uchiha Clan first and foremost before anything else.
