only after gai came. it gave him an excuse but that doesnt change the fact itachi tried to kill kakashi in cold blood with the kunai to the back
you're the biggest itachi hater on the base. leavee.. Itachi didn't kill him did he?
lol so basically hes completely forgiven because he didnt carry out the act? i guess sasuke's a fantastic guy for not killing sakura and karin
If your true identity had to be kept hidden from the akatsuki
it wasnt. first thing itachi said to the leader of akatsuki was "i know you. so help me and dont touch konoha or my brother". he revealed himself before he even BEGAN his spy work
you would sacrifice a friendship and life to be able to serve yur village.
those who defy the laws are trash. those who dont care about their comrades are worse. and he wasnt serving his village by trying to murder its greatest defender at the time.
Itachi never ment harm towards any konaha nin or to his brother
he viciously and savagely murdered little kids, tortured his own brother several times, beat his own brother into a coma and broke his wrist brutally, ordered sasuke to murder innocent people for power (which he very nearly did), tried to kill kakashi twice, ordered the attempted murder of kurenai and asuma, extorted and threatened his village to keep them away from one person, withheld important information from his village when they could have stood a better chance against akatsuki with it, and participated in the cold blooded execution of 7 people including the leader of konoha's most trusted allies.
He harbored sasukes hate to make sasuke look like he hero
he tortured brutalised and corrupted his own brother and made him drunk on power and hate. whats horrifying about that is he thought this was a wonderful and noble plan. being tortured manipulated and mocked by your beloved brother doesnt make you a hero. it only tears your remaining sanity apart. what itachi did was as bad or worse than what 4th kazekage did to gaara
itachi would have ben for stoppig a all out war between konaha and he uhiha clan.
and yet did absolutely nothing to stop the war between orochimaru's village and konoha despite having a golden opportunity to end that threat before it festered. that act alone invalidates whatever good he did witht he genocide. and i like how your trying to justify the genocide of an entire clan of people, many of them innocent kids. not to mention trying to shift the blame onto itachi when it was all danzo's plan and manipulations that led to it.
