crimes against humanity =)))))
ok what other shit has he done besides the massacre of uchiha that can be called "brutal crimes against humanity" that Sasuke doesn't know of??

Maybe brutally torturing Kakashi for no good reason? Or sitting on his ass for 8 years and doing NOTHING to stop the akatsuki. He was so dumb, he was content to allow a terrorist organisation to collect nukes, and was involved in the murder of 7 innocent jins.

Brutal? I'd say gentle
Mindraping? If he wanted to, he was master of genjutsu after all, maybe, but usually not
Genocidal? Killing a clan which were plottin to kill the leaders and put the village and civilians and the whole city in a state of civil war and prone to invasions from other countries, risking the destruction of whole village, I wouldn't call it genocidal. Were they innocent? Not all, but definitely most. I would say more of a cereal killer :p
vicious madman? More of a kind and gentle, calm, collected assassin

Yes he was mindraping when he tortured Sasuke into complete insanity, and Kakashi as well for no reason. Genocide is genocide, and he still killed all the innocent Uchias. Only a vicious madman tortures someone into insanity, and then EXPECTS the tortured person to become a good guy.

Most characters dont know the full extent of his deeds, but whatever they do know(massacre), they didnt call him a psycopath instead a kind gentle Hashirama actually praised him as a great shinobi and didnt talk shit about him.

I don't give a damn what Hashirama thinks. Most characters don't the full extent of his crimes to humanity. I heavily doubt Hashirama would still think the same about Itachi if he found out that he brutally tortured innocent people and did nothing to stop a terrorist organisation from getting nukes! Those aren't the actions of a "gentle" person.

He couldnt prove Uchihas innocent since they were not innocent. Are you saying planning a coup d'etat and killing the leaders is innocence?

Wasn't referring to the coup, but the Kyuubi incident. Konoha has a clan full of mind readers. He could have easily had the Yamanaka clan read the Uchihas minds and find out if they were responsible for the Kyuubi attack, and a done a deal with them. Like "if you were innocent, you will no longer be banished to the corner of the village" But Itachi and Hiruzen were stupid and simply Danzo's lackeys. If the Uchihas were found innocent of the kyuubi incident, there would be no need to perform a coup.

Brutally torturing sasuke was wrong, true. He is not a vicious supervillain tough. Come on now, he is fighting to save humanity and people around earth. I thought you were confortable with knowing dem literary terms. He is not a vicious supervillain

Maybe I went overboard with the "vicious supervillain" thing, but he definitely isn't a hero. More like a dark anti villain/villain.

And also, Sasuke is not insane. I'd say Juugo was insane when he turns into a beast because he is indeed a madman. Sasuke getting angry in the midst of a battle does not make him insane. At most times he is also calm/collected, up to some extent.

Yes he was. Itachi's torture alone didn't do it. But combined with Orochimaru and Obito's manipulations he became insane. Only an insane psychopath would come up with the idea of killing EVERY SINGLE konoha citizen.(even the ones that had nothing to do with the coup.)

EXACTLY. how can you portray someone as a villain by showing them doing so many horrible things and then have characters like hashirama turn around and say hes a hero for it?
thats called designated hero, and a mary sue.
but i would say itachis a jerk sue.
I read that designated hero. I clicked on jerkass and say Cartman's pic as an example and closed the tab hahahah

he treats everyone around him like a piece of shit but is instantly forgiven because hes the "perfect prodigy who is so noble for his sacrifice"
Actually he doesn't. He didnt treat anyone around him like a piece of shit. What?! I dont get this. If you talk about...I dont even know...I dont..even..ugh...I dont recall him treating people like pieces of shits, then nobody would portray him as kind and gentle, but as an ******* who treats everyone around him(are you sure you wanted to say this??!?) like pieces of shit. I dont get this
even though the uchiha genocide was a warcrime and an atrocity to begin with.
Nobody was at war, it couldn't be a warcrime. It was an atrocity, justified by the fact that the consequences of leaving Uchiha have their way would've been even worse

its nullified by how he ACTUALLY is written.
kishi has people saying itachi is a hero because he has failed to realise he wrote a villain and not a hero, according to my morality.
i dont have to sacrifice and dispense of MY morality and what i view as wrong, just because an author thinks he can whitewash and sweep it all under the rug.
itachis a villain because he has done villainous things according to my viewpoint.
you are obviously ok with itachi torutring murdering and enslaving innocent people, and generally committing treason, atrocities and manipulations across the world.
im not. simple as that.
I dont judge your morals in general, but your moral judgements on Itachi's character is obviously not thought with a clear mind, to say the least.

Protecting the village from etc. like I keep on saying in my previous posts is heroic, according to my PoV. drastic measures had to be taken, but in the end he killed evil people to protect innocent ones. Even tough babies and innocent people died too, their numbers were a mere fraction of the amount of innocent people that would have died in the civil war and a great war to follow, because of the evil Uchiha's deeds.
Enslaving innocent people? I'm about to give up. Killing =/ enslaving. From what I remember he fought to stop edo-tensei to save numerous' peoples lives, and he even took the guilt and pain in killing his parents for the sake of other people's lives in return and another war.
Giving Jiraiya info about akatsuki and orochimaru ain't treason.



i dont care. i can because thats what i think he is.
morality is not ruled by the majority or else slavery in our world would still be seen as legitimate and legal.
with slavery, some people started shouting "HEY. WE SHOULDNT DO THAT" and that began that whole movement. same with black rights, and womens rights.
im unpopular now because i think mindrape is not heroic but imagine in 50 years, people will be absolutely disgusted by what im seeing here in this forum, with apologists going around saying hes a hero for torturing innocent people.
Of course morality is not ruled by the majority, and no, slavery in our world would not be still legitimate, thats stupid

what do you mean instead of madara? madaras worse than he is. doesnt mean itachis a hero. just slightly less of a evil villain than his uchiha brethren are.

thats funny because sakura haters are the same.
"so ussj how are you going?"
"sakura was awesome this week"
"STFU YOU SAKURA VAGINA LICKER SHES A USELESS BIT CH"
And doesn't this ring a bell? lol

kishi speaks through his drawings portraying itahcis actions, as what he wants the reader to know about him.
itachi tortures innocent people, beats his brother inot a coma, lies, manipulates, orders attempted murders and aids a terrorist organisation in stealing living nukes.
whatever hashirama thinks he knows about itachi, is not as much as what we as readers know about him given we were privy to actions of itachi that no one else ever actually saw or reported about.
such as him telling sasuke to kill his own friends.
If he truly hated his brother, he could've killed him at the massacre of right there in the hotel or whatever. Didnt really help Sasori, Deidara and others in stealing nukes, from what I remember.
Hashirama knows of the massacre and didnt condemn him, on the contrary. He doesnt know about Itachi manipulating Sasuke? Probably not, that doesnt change the fact that he knows about the massacre and didnt talk shit about it.


sasuke didnt care because he was so psychologically destroyed and manipulated that he COULDNT care. all he could focus on was who made him and his brother suffer and become that way in the first place.
he didnt care that itachi beat him to near death because he accepted obitos bullshit justification of "it was to make you stronger" hook line and sinker. but again, sasuke was so mentally damaged that thats all he could do.
he didnt listen when itachi said that he was just a failure because he didnt want to listen. its too inconveniant for sasukes revenge desires.
so dont compare me with sasuke.
i can objectively see the situation unlike sasuke who was the person suffering and getting his sanity ripped apart by a madman.
In the end, its because Itachi that sasuke redeemed and turned to the good side and now is saving the world, instead of being a villain and trying to destroy it

if itachis various actions are shown to us ON PANEL IN DETAIL then that means he is portrayed as having done those things.
but that the author is trying to "justify" and whitewash those actions via characters in universe saying its ok and heroic.
but that doesnt work.
in twilight you could have the vampires say bella is an inncoent perfect little dove for 600 chapters but it wouldnt change the fact that we are objectively seeing her be a whiny manipulative monster stringing along two guys, both of which are pretty much creepy ass holes themselves.
and no matter how many times bella says edwards perfect, it wouldnt change his creepy ass controlling behavour. it just so happens meyer saw nothing wrong with edwards behavour and as a result no one calls either of them on it.
just read this
and see how many "heroes" are treated as such by the author and characters, but are objectively at best jerks and at worst monsters.
Itachi's various good actions are shown to us ON PANEL IN DETAIL, which portray him as a hero also, but you seem to ignore them.
And bella I'm guessing she has thing for that creepy guy. Thats her letting emotions affecting her PoV. The majority people that have praised Itachi were not emotionally ****ed up


how can you have a work of fiction that requires the audience to completely ignore and sacrifice everything that they see as wrong or bad, just so the author can have his way?
"genocides good because kishi implied it is"
i could write a book that paints bestiality as the most loving relationship in the world and have every character spout nonsense supporting this notion, but i dont expect my audience to go along with it and do anything but look at me in disgust for trying to push that viewpoint.
Genocides are not good. But killing majority of people who were evil and trying to do things with horrible and mega atrocious consequences is not a bad thing. Killing innocent people is bad, but again, it was not necessarily genocide because majority of Uchiha were guilty and evil

kishi can push whatever viewpoint he wants. im not saying he cant.
but please dont expect me to take it like a prison rape victim and ignore my own views on life and morals. hes a designated hero sociopathic nominal hero.
thats how i see it. fault me for that, i dont care.


not even close to the same thing.
yes i dont care how hashirama is portrayed in-story.
but objectively, hashirama is a heroic man who has shown forgiveness, compassion, humility and honesty. hes almost the superman of naruto. or the dumbledore. all qualities that the vicious manipulative ruthless itachi lacked.
naruto was hated for 12 years of his life. does that mean i should too? sorry but i dont go along with majorities so easily and i dont like being told by an author how to think and who to forgive.

Hashirama is to blame because he could've avoided this destruction of the village and the future evil things that happened because of Madara. But he didnt kill him when he was supposed to.
His forgiveness and compassion is what led to Madara awakening the rinnegan and cursing Obito etc.

Hashirama is selfish because he let his feelings and nostalgia take the better of him and not make a proper decision when he was supposed to. He knew Madara turned evil and there was no going back, blame Hashiramaaa =))

Torturing Kakashi for no reason is not crime against humanity =D. It was to send a message and for us, readers, to see how powerful Itachi Uchiha is. It was wrong, but thats 1 deed, when you said crimes against humanity i was expecting a few dozen hahah
He was involved in the murder of 7 innocent jins......yeah lets blame him for other akatsuki's members deeds shall we




Yes he was mindraping when he tortured Sasuke into complete insanity, and Kakashi as well for no reason. Genocide is genocide, and he still killed all the innocent Uchias. Only a vicious madman tortures someone into insanity, and then EXPECTS the tortured person to become a good guy.
Actually without Obito's input Sasuke would become a good guy and his plans would've succeeded, if it was only between Itachi/Sasuke and not a stranger involved in this.
And you said Oro and Obito actually brought him on the brink of insanity, not Itachi alone *_*




I don't give a damn what Hashirama thinks. Most characters don't the full extent of his crimes to humanity. I heavily doubt Hashirama would still think the same about Itachi if he found out that he brutally tortured innocent people and did nothing to stop a terrorist organisation from getting nukes! Those aren't the actions of a "gentle" person.
Again, other crimes don't matter when people praise Itachi's massacre. I dont understand. Why does Hashirama need to know about him torturing sasuke in order to judge and not condemn Itachi for the massacre?



Wasn't referring to the coup, but the Kyuubi incident. Konoha has a clan full of mind readers. He could have easily had the Yamanaka clan read the Uchihas minds and find out if they were responsible for the Kyuubi attack, and a done a deal with them.

If the Uchihas were found innocent of the kyuubi incident, there would be no need to perform a coup.
Ok now. Itachi was an anbu, he was no leader. Having the a clan read the Uchiha's minds should've been Danzo/Hiruzen's idea. He cant make suggestions/decision on behalf of the Hokage, because he was an anbu member, he had no status to make such suggestions/decision. I swear you are trying to blame him for everything lmao
L.E.:
And how would they go about? Yeah lets send some letters to Uchiha's most influential men asking them to come over so we can inspect them to see if they are to blame for massacre or no.
Hahah.




Maybe I went overboard with the "vicious supervillain" thing, but he definitely isn't a hero. More like a dark anti hero.

Okey then, good. So Itachi's torture alone didn't do it. at least we can cut him some slack there instead of saying Itachi tortured him into insanity *_*

ok what other shit has he done besides the massacre of uchiha that can be called "brutal crimes against humanity"
1. murdering 6 innocent jinchurikis and handing over living nukes to terrorists, and doing precious little to actually do any spy work on said terrorists
2. lying to manipulating and committing treason against konoha and his superiors by lying about and covering up a genocide/frame job on himself, threatening danzo with high treason, and betraying everyone in konoha when he attacked kakashi which is a declaration of war on kakashis nation. just like how sauske declared war on konoha when he tried to kill naruto.
3. attempting to kill kakashi kurenai and asuma
4. attempted to manipulate sasuke to kill at least one innocent person just so sasuke can unlock mangekeyo sharingan.
5. tortured kakashi sasuke and naruto in cold blood
6. tried to let the other nations of the world be massacred when he forced obito to promise not to attack konoah anymore which obviously means anywhere else is fair game. he didnt seem to treat the murders of the jins as a breach of that deal meaning he didnt include konohas ALLIES and brethren lving elsewhere. he would let the world burn if it meant konoha was still standing.but as i said above he didnt really care about protecting even konoha given he gave obitos organisation 6 nukes

Mindraping? If he wanted to, he was master of genjutsu after all, maybe, but usually not
what do you mean usually not? he did it three times, twice on one person.
doing it even once means hes a morally disgusting rephrensible madman.
just like how physical rapists are morally disgusting madmen.

Genocidal? Killing a clan which were plottin to kill the leaders and put the village and civilians and the whole city in a state of civil war
yes genocidal.
ive explained how it is not necessary to kill EVERY SINGLE rebellious uchiha, because once they see the situations hopeless they will surrender.
itachi achieves peace and safety for the entirety of konoha by defeating, alongside hiruzen, the police force and all the ringleaders, then capturing and jailing the rest.again all in an ambush in the dead of night unless konohas jails are so flimsy that kids and old men can break out...
that or simply killing the leaders himself. you cant have a civil war if the person who killed all the leaders also kills uchihas, meaning no one would think that uchihas were behind it.
itachi had a choice of killing about 5 people, or 500. he chose the latter. yet you say hes a hero.

prone to invasions from other countries,
and losing shisui/itachi/the whole uchiha clan OVERNIGHT does NOT leave konoha prone to a foriegn invasion?
oh wiat. thats exactly what happened. exactly!
it took a while but the invasion came, on orders of orochimaru and 4th kazekage.
so yes uchiha genocide = invasion by the sand village. itachi saved nothing, just delayed an already inveitable attack at akatsukis hands and at orochimarus.
he had two inevitable attacks on konoha being brewed up, and did nothing about both. even sparing oro when he had a chance to end that threat for good.

vicious madman? More of a kind and gentle, calm, collected assassin
so kind gentle calm collected men
- torture a 7 year old
- beat a 12 year old into a coma
- torture kakashi for no reason and order his murder
- order the murder of an innocent person to make sasuke get MS
- abuse, lie to, and manipulate countless people including his dead clan to fit his desires and how he wants to shape them and the world
- murder gaara and roshi and intentionally get in the way of the actual heroes
?

He couldnt prove Uchihas innocent since they were not innocent. Are you saying planning a coup d'etat and killing the leaders is innocence?
wtf are you talking about? uchihas arent innocent but konoha is as bad or worse. your trying to paint konoha as some wonderful paragon of justice and peace that deserved to be saved. which is horrifying.
he could have defeated them without killing every single one of them. that is basic human nature. when most of your army is dead, what sense does it make to still try to fight on? they had surely enough jail cells for all the younger uchihas and old men.
its basic battle tactics that the goal is to cause so much fear in the enemy that theyd rather surrender or run than fight.

Most characters dont know the full extent of his deeds, but whatever they do know(massacre), they didnt call him a psycopath instead a kind gentle Hashirama actually praised him as a great shinobi and didnt talk shit about him.
because thats the agenda that kishi is forcing down the characters throats, no matter how out of character it is that fukin hashirama, the ultimate pacifist would fukin condone a genocide of a clan.
the hashirama presented to us in the flashback would never do this and never say this except to placate sasuke whom he was trying to turn good. talking utter shit about itachi to his brother is not that good of an idea when they need to focus on madara and obito. not leave sasuke as their enemy there in konoha.

whatever they do know(massacre), they didnt call him a psycopath
who there actually knew that itachi wanted sasuke to kill innocent people for power? only sasuke and he is too mindfuked to say to them "oh btw guys itachi told me to kill my friends, and expected me to succeed. not sure if you kind and gentle hokages agree with that"

rutally torturing sasuke was wrong, true. He is not a vicious supervillain t
ONLY VILLAINS DO THINGS LIKE THIS. you imbecile. youve been brainwashed by kishimoto and hes got you saying that torture and mindrape is things that is only "slap on the wrist" worthy, not a heinous breach of human rights and of the sancitiy of sasukes mind.
how come you can be permanently condemned and vilified for physical rape, but only get a slap on the wrist for the mental variation?
how is this moral or righteous to believe? how are sasuke and obito moral for pointing out that its ok to mentally rape someone? hashirama didnt know BTW.

Come on now, he is fighting to save humanity and people around earth. I
and what, hes the only person to ever do so whle remaining villainous for most of his life?
many times in fiction, there has been an enemy thats too much for even the heroes, and they ask a past villain for help/the villain joins in to help them.
it doesnt mean the villain is now a noble hero for temporarily helping them out.
itachi had 10 minutes of being a halfway decent person and fighting to save himanity.
doesnt mean the last TEN FUKIN YEARS of him being a supervillain are forgiven.
by your logic, no one is ever a villain as long as they spend ten minutes fighting someone worse than they are and apologising for fuking up 10 minutes ago.

h. I thought you were confortable with knowing dem literary terms. He is not a vicious supervillain
hes a designated hero because kishi wants to justify him, and a knight templar villain because of his supposed goal to protect his brother, albeit he thinks he can do this by beating sauske inot a coma and destroying his sanity.
ive posted links to tv tropes already. i suggest you start reading them

And also, Sasuke is not insane. I'd say Juugo was insane when he turns into a beast because he is indeed a madman. Sasuke getting angry in the midst of a battle does not make him insane.
planning to murder an entire village full of kids and babies for revenge is insanity.

Idiot! It was a major crime and he indirectly declared war on Konoha by doing so. No, Itachi was guilty by association for doing nothing to stop the jins from dying, and on top of that, he CONTRIBUTED to their deaths by helping with their sealing. The other akatsuki members are at fault,but this doesn't exclude Itachi. He also let Orochimaru live like a fool which lead to a catastrophic invasion.

Actually without Obito's input Sasuke would become a good guy and his plans would've succeeded, if it was only between Itachi/Sasuke and not a stranger involved in this.
And you said Oro and Obito actually brought him on the brink of insanity, not Itachi alone
I don't care. Obtio/Orochimaru contributed to it, but it was Itachi who sowed the seeds to Sasuke becoming an insane madman. He did it by brutally torturing him for 24 hours(twice), telling him to murder his best friend, beating him into a coma and breaking his bones. In fact, Sasuke was already a thug as he took Itachi's words to heart and choved a chidori through Naruto's lung.(thank god he was the kyuubi's jinchuriki!). So basically, Sasuke was already evil by the end of part 1. He became insane after Itachi's death.

Again, other crimes don't matter when people praise Itachi's massacre. I dont understand. Why does Hashirama need to know about him torturing sasuke in order to judge and not condemn Itachi for the massacre?

Because he needs to know the entire picture. In a murder trial, you will never see the prosecutors/defence miss out details from their side, as it undermines the point of the justice system. Plus, it was entirely out of character for hashirama to approve of something like that. It's clear that kishi did a "moral dissonance" with Itachi.(plug that into tv tropes if you don't know what it means)

Ok now. Itachi was an anbu, he was no leader. Having the a clan read the Uchiha's minds should've been Danzo/Hiruzen's idea. He cant make suggestions/decision on behalf of the Hokage, because he was an anbu member, he had no status to make such suggestions/decision. I swear you are trying to blame him for everything lmao
L.E.:
And how would they go about? Yeah lets send some letters to Uchiha's most influential men asking them to come over so we can inspect them to see if they are to blame for massacre or no.
Hahah.

He had close contact with hiruzen/danzo. He could have easily have arranged for it. Plus, why wouldn't the uchihas want the chance of freedom? It would be far better than their present treatment, and Itachi could have at least tried it. But no, he showed us what a colossal idiot he was when he chose to side with a corrupt leader like Danzo who stole Shisui's eye.

Okey then, good. So Itachi's torture alone didn't do it. at least we can cut him some slack there instead of saying Itachi tortured him into insanity

He still played a big role in it, since Sasuke inherited his arrogant and lonely personality from Itachi's torture.
