Right that was "long before now" when danzo stated that. And that was also the exact reason he wanted to speak with itachi again. Reanimation tech allowed him to do that. But itachi wasn't enough witch is also the reason he sought out the previous kage so that they can help him decide what was right. ( He also stated whatever they told him would help him decide to destroy the village or not)
He has clearly matured as a person but his current objective and lack of trust is what's holding him back from the truth which is that he needs naruto.
and what did he choose to do after hearing what Itachi and Hashirama had to say about the mistakes they made? Oh yeah, the exact same thing. Maturity implies someone actually learns something. Simply hearing words doesn't make one mature. They have to actually learn from those words.
Wanting to be the center of attention - you're saying that to make ot look childish - as if its something like pulling pranks to get yourself in trouble so people notice you.
because it is childish. What else do you call opting not to cooperate because you want everybody to pay attention to you?
Was Itachi just looking for attention when he killed his family and had the truth of the matter hidden away thus leading to everyone thinking he was a bad guy? A Traitor S-Class Missing Nin?
Itachi didn't do what he did thinking he knew what was best for the whole world. Your logic isn't flying here.
if he didn't mature one bit then he would still want to destory Konoha rather than protect it.He still wouldn't care for the Shinobi world rather than wanting to led it to peace.
tell me where Sasuke specifically says his agenda is for peace. Go ahead, tell me. I'll wait.
Why are you ignoring logic? If he didn't care about others happiness then why would he be planning on freeing them from the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Why would he want to become Hokage and Protect Konoha? Why would he want to sacrafkce by having the world forcus their hate on him rather tham each other and continue to fight?
you mean why am i ignoring
your logic? Easy. It's because i don't recall a single moment where Sasuke specifically mentions anything about wanting others to be happy in his plans. All he ever basically mentions about anybody's emotions are negative ones, and that he wants to be at the center of them all.
