Why didn't Itachi spare Fugaku and Mikoto?

I've been wondering, why did Itachi kill his parents? I mean, they couldn't do a thing to the village without their clan (especially Mikoto), and with them around, the things for Sasuke would've been quite different, don't you think?

His parents were leading the coup d etat.

And you don't think that she wouldnt retaliate? If my son killed my wife I'd kill him probably

Because they were fodders and he was embarrassed by them.

True, but with their clan dead, they couldn't harm the village and complete the coup, right?

Because he was under orders to kill everyone. The only he could save was Sasuke.

I don't see any other reason than for plot to have it known that it was Itachi that actually did it. They could have just as easily pinned the blame on Orochimaru or Danzo. The latter would take care of Danzo (A questionable ally, who always does "what's best for the village", as well as the coup and keep a strong Shinobi like Itachi in the village.

I think danzo ordered him to kill every single uchiha in existence , everyone but one, sasuke.
If someone was to survive, he could end up being another madara.
I think that particular uchiha would definitely awaken MS after seeing his entire clan slaughtered in cold blood.

So its either kill all or let someone else do the mission.

Sasuke was to be kept in check, if his parents who were leading the coup raised him what could possibly go wrong? You saw the guy he is a complete emotional wreck with his clan.

They sat there like zombies back to Itachi so that he wouldn't have to see their eyes. Itachi is struggling to try and keep the blade from plunging into his parents. Something/one is driving him to do it. Reason? Sets up the conditions of Sasuke's loneliness and darkness. Ensure others cannot decipher the Uchiha tablet.

Well, what kind of life would they have if he spared them? They're known traitors. They'd probably be imprisoned or something.

What I have a problem with is Itachi not trying to talk his parents out of th cou. I mean, they're clearly reasonable ppl and respected him.

So many things could've been done differently.

Do you have any idea how shattered and absolutely miserable their lives would be if Itachi "spared" them?

Killing them was best. At that point doing, they wanted to be killed anyway; that's why they had their last words with Itachi and just sat there waiting to die.

Itachi killed infants, you think he cares about killing someone who is trying to start a war?

he fuked up. all he had to do was take down the main military force of the clan.
with no army, they cant possibly rebel.

you think he cares about killing someone who is trying to start a war?
no one tried to start a war except itahci whne he destroyed the most powerful clan in the world and thus left konoha open to attack

prison is best. killing them is psychotic.

Do you have any idea how shattered and absolutely miserable their lives would be if Itachi "spared" them?
do you remember sasukes life was only shattered and miserable once itachi beat him inot a coma?

Sasuke was to be kept in check, if his parents who were leading the coup raised him what could possibly go wrong? You saw the guy he is a complete emotional wreck with his clan.
because of itachis torture and abuse

s. Itachi is struggling to try and keep the blade from plunging into his parents. Something/one is driving him to do it. Reason? Sets up the conditions of Sasuke's loneliness and darkness. Ensure others cannot decipher the Uchiha tablet.
he killed his parents to turn his brother into a supervillain?

think danzo ordered him to kill every single uchiha in existence , everyone but one, sasuke.
If someone was to survive, he could end up being another madara.
then danzo is the one who needs to be kileld for ordering such an atrocity.
if someone were to survive they can easily end up the hero of the village for ending the corruption, as was the intention of the uchiha rebellion.
if your killing people because thye might be evil in the future you might as well exterminate humanity.

Because he was under orders to kill everyone. The only he could save was Sasuke.
he alreayd proved he didnt care about orders when he betrayed and threatened his own superiors with high treason if they dont obey him. hes arrogant and foolish.

If anyone other of the Uchiha Clan were to kill an Uchiha, it would cause an civil war against the murderer, and they would be considered traitors by law.

Itachi had to take all the blame for the mess. If he left his parents alive, and someone else were to kill them, it would instantly spawn a civil war.

So yeah...

no it wouldnt. nonsense.
itachi didnt have to do anything.
either way konoha is weakened, and a foreign nation will invade eventually
