Itachi is partnered with Kisame and begins his missions as a member of the Akatsuki. The duo succeeds in recruiting Deidara, so Pain assigns the newly formed team of Deidara and Sasori to hunt down the deserter Orochimaru.

He passes on any damage he sustains
to the one whose blood he licks.
إنّه يُمرّر أيّ ضررٍ يتكبّده إلى صاحب الدّم الذي يلعقه

en el rival cuya sangre bebió.
El daño que recibe se refleja 
en el rival cuya sangre tomó.
Ogni danno ricevuto
Ele reflete o dano que sofre àquele
de quem lambeu o sangue.
