Everyone seems to think of Itachi as this great heroic character, but really I see him as more neutral. Yes, he killed his clan for the good of Konoha and had this "masterplan" for Sasuke. Still, he didn't just kill the leading members of the clan, he went and killed them all including children (presuming Sasuke wasn't the only child in the clan at the time). Not only that, but he went completely overboard on Sasuke. He could have left it at just slaughtering the clan and letting Sasuke know it was him. That would have been enough motivation for revenge. He didn't have to use Tsukoyomi on him and make him relive that nightmare. Then, once Sasuke made some friends and started to move on a little, Itachi shows up again and does the same thing. He also spent each time telling Sasuke how he has to hate and take the life of his best friend. This is just encouraging him to become what he is now. Finally, there's what he did with Akatasuki. Judging by how Kisame sees him as ruthless, Itachi must have killed a number of people himself. He also helped with the sealing of the tailed beasts and generally furthering Akatasuki's goals. It may have all been for the good of Konoha, but it was at the possible sacrifice of the world. Itachi was so fixated on Konoha and Sasuke he didn't care about anyone or anything else. All he did was plan up until his own death and then didn't care what happened afterwards. All that being said, I like Itachi. I preferred him as a psychopath that killed for power but his St.Itachi incarnation is also cool because he has flaws and isn't this perfect character. Not really sure why I wrote this, just a reaction to some of the stuff I've read about him recently. He isn't some reincarnation of Jesus and he isn't a mastermind either. He's a flawed human being that has made a lot of mistakes in his life. Some of his fans just can't see this. |

Itachi is DEAD for a reason, and sasori was playing puppeteer to his dead body. Id say karma got him in the end. So no, he's no hero. |

Itachi is a alive and he overrode his the edo tensei. Not only that, Sasori, wtf? Sasori has nothing to do with this. He was being controlled by Kabuto for like 10 minutes but got rid of it. To the OP, I agree. He's no hero and he's not a good guy as people try to make him out to look. He's far from perfect and could have done things a lot better. It was for the plot though, I suppose. |

Agreed. He's neutral in my eyes. Sure, he has good intentions and had a fierce loyalty to Konoha, but he went way overboard. Wiping out the ENTIRE Clan save for Sasuke and himself. And basically torturing Sasuke. Edo Itachi seems like a heroic character but he's still got to make up for all the evil deeds he committed |

well i guess he was kinda of neutral but he was told to kill everyone single person, old people, men, children, women everyone i think the reason he used Tsukoyomi on sasuke was so that sasuke would get more mad and have more desire to kill itachi |

Yeah there was no real reason to make Sasuke go crazy like that. He wanted Sasuke to kill him, when he felt the time was right he could have just let him do it lol they didn't have to fight could have just let Sasuke Chidori him or whatever it wouldn't make much of a difference to him dying The Naruto vs Sasuke fight would have happened anyway so he'd have matured his Sharingan but not been desperate for power from Orochimaru then he could have given Sasuke his power and let him kill him. It's his fault that Sasuke will likely never be welcomed back to Konoha. |

No it was Kabuto that was controlling him not Sasori. It wasn't his dead body, it was a body that used his DNA to make a new body. And he's not being controlled anymore, he found a way out of it. Yes he died but he's alive once again. Edited by Mihawk, Dec 23 2011, 11:45 PM.

I think he's an extremely interesting character with a lot of depth, and of course, a total badass. One of my favorite anime characters of all time by far. |

The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. "We know," she said. "We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world..." Release it Gohan! Release everything!

He's overrated just like he's brother except he gets the good out being overrated. Power wise he's one of the best though. |

Might want to put that in spoiler tags. Not everyone is caught up on Naruto, including myself. -_- I don't think that Itachi is the amazingly good character that everyone makes him out to be, and I do agree that he is overrated, just like Sasuke. I still like him though. He's pretty cool, and he's not emo.
