Itachi is a good character, whatever flaws he had his good side was more dominant. But Itachi is seriously not most misunderstood character, Obito and Sakura are much more misunderstood. Obito didn't do everything because of 'Rin' in Kakashi's Gaiden he clearly shows what he hates is how ninja world works,ninja system you could say that Sasuke now is kind of like Obito, some people need to re-read Obito scenes. And Sakura's character was intended to be annoying at first, but little by little she learns her flaws and becomes kinder,braver, which is called character development. :heh:

Or maybe you're too stupid to understand the difference between right and wrong.....come up with a better reply to defend your argument.

I don't need to, because if you had read the whole post, you'd know that I was presenting a point of view that is not mine, only to counter it in the second half. That's why you attacking me for the part you underlined makes no sense, because that is not my point of view. But since your brain boiled reading those words, you couldn't manage to read the rest of the post. Good job.

You clearly don't read the manga if you think Itachi isn't intelligent...

he was definitely one of the most knowledgeable character
but i'm gonna point out some flaws in his plan, which well may be the flaw in the manga

1. implanting amaterasu in sasuke such that it will kill obito ?
which was obviously flawed cause a guy who knows about izanagi will obviously won't get hurt

why it is flawed.
# he thought obito is actually madara
# itachi knew of izanagi, and he should have think that the legendary uchiha like madara will ofc have izanagi.

2. KA on sasuke

why it is flawed ?
# he wanted to make sasuke the same tool he used to be earlier

I agree to some extent, Itachi does symbolise the perfect shinobi. intelligent, genius, and dutiful.

imo, what he does symbolise even more than that is the failure of the shinobi system though. Itachi was a perfect shinobi, and carried out his duty to the village to the last. He along with Sasuke was the best hope for new beginnings with the Uchiha and Konoha, yet the root system forced him to throw all that away. The choices Itachi made were not the right ones, that's what's interesting about him. He had to do terrible things, against his will to preserve the status quo, and it did not work. He epitomises the dirty work lying underneath the cozy village system, that's why characters like him, Orochimaru and Danzou are intriguing. Sasuke on the other hand will not continue where Itachi left off, his aim is to crush the old system and create a better one.

Hmm it's a good essay but beneath the reasonable people there are fanboys, the little kids who claims he is a god, a solo king. Still don't know why besides it because there are enough ninja's on his level at the war only his past is sad.
But i think this thread heats up the fire of those little kids

He wanted the booty, that's what he idolized. Also, I'm nit a hater I'm just stating the truth and Itachi fanboys need that once and a while since they think so highly of him.

What intelligent act/decision has he shown? And i won't even ask if it succeeded

You're a troll, it's too obvious. So I'm not going to answer you in till you come up with something that's real.

Either way he's intelligent, everybody who isn't a troll knows this.

edo madara poos on shitrama's face.XDXDXD

No. Just no.

He was a genius at battle tactics. Just because his plans were ruined by Tobi (even though he still later redeemed himself) doesn't mean he wasn't one of the smartest characters. Shikamaru has battle smarts too and has still failed, but you don't go around *****ing about him.

Example? I don't recall a displayed tactic that i would categorize as genius.

He is smart, but not as intelligent as people try to make him

smh blaze why you constantly try to downplay Itachi is beyond me.

Well usually there is one strong fanboy to argue against, so it's more for entertainment. Nonetheless, i still state facts or at least very reasonable points. That can't be denied

Found the blind spot of the Rinnegan, discerned the weakness of Chibaku Tensei in seconds, Defeated S level criminals with a single technique, used shuriken as a feint to attack kakashi with a suiton attack which in turn allowed him to feint once again with an exploding shadow clone seen through only by kakashi's sharingan.

And that's without mentioning his straight 5's across the board in the databook discounting Stamina, including Intelligence.

1) that wasn't anything worth crediting as genius. Everything is obviously being sucked into one giant ball and Naruto told him of his previous encounter with CT. That was kinda
n obvious decision

2) sharingen grants genjutsu superiority, not much behind that catching hot heads off guard

3) that reminds me of the fight of Naruto and Sasuke vs Zabuzu. Guess they should be considered just as intelligent

meh i don't like the idea for which a particular character is liked

for example whenever itachi comes into discussion, people will go for "itachi solos "

i admit he is one of the most powerful character,
but is it okay to like someone just because he is powerful?

may be, every body has a choice,

but for me power is never a concern.

his path which is filled with blood and a result of rotten ninja system, gets him my sympathy at best.
the way his character is admired, is really a mystery for me.

I would like to hear an example you consider to be a genius level battle tactic, if you'll do me the honor.

Garra vs 2nd Mizukage! Garra used pure intelligence agaunst him, beyond that of an average shinobi. The tactics he used to defeat joki boy was flawless, regardless of all his advantages
