of course not. in fact hes still not good. well intentioned extremist at absolute best but never good. you cant brutally torture your own 7 year old brother and beat him up, and expect me to call you a good guy. plus he mind****ed sasuke into trying to kill naruto. to itachi, naruto is a disposable piece of meat, a means to an end. then theres the fact that for NO REASON AT ALL, he just lets orochimaru go and run amok, killing and experimenting on hundreds. your good guy ladies and gentlemen. standing by and doing nothing as hundreds suffer in darkness.
why would he sacrifice it? uchihas had no intention of destroying the village
yes he left him alive, and inflicted on him pain, misery, hate and loneliness for many years. and after all that, he expected sasuke to turn out good? absurd.
you respect genocide? maybe you should join him in hell then, along with hitler and stalin. nazis killing jews were "just following orders" too.
well i wouldnt go through with it, thats for sure.
itachi is never good. hes horrible and despicable and evil. no man who can torture people and offer up an innocent boy as a sacrifice for MS can be considered good in any sense of the word. and im afraid i think all of you are just as evil for thinking he did the right things.
like torturing people sadistically? like mind****ing and mindraping his own kid brother? like murdering his parents from behind like a coward? like kicking a defenceless kurenai in the face? like planning to murder kakashi if gai didnt arrive? like telling konoha nothing about their greatest foes and getting millions killed because of this? like talking shit to his own superiors and calling his own clan pathetic? like killing EVERY SINGLE LIVING THING IN HIS PATH indiscriminately? even though many of the clan were probably forced into it and were genuinely good people? like mikoto for example. genocide is never justified and it never means your a good guy especially since itachi never spent the rest of his life atoning for it. he just sank deeper and deeper into evil and even helped akatsuki more than hindered it.
genocide was of his own free will. he could have ignored the mission and gave it to someone else. and do not tell me mindraping his brother was an order. he did that completely on his own. its very frightenign that you think this ruthless selfish torturing traitorous psycho is "good" in any sense of the word.

ok i am officially afraid now. torture isnt evil? genocides not evil? lying and manipulating a good little boy into being a hateful criminal is not evil? withholding info that could save millions is not evil? recruiting new akatsuki isnt evil? planning to brainwash and take away sasuke's free will and very identity of being human just to make him konoha's slave is not evil? what kind of horrible person are you to not consider itachi evil?
even bad guys dont kill children indiscriminately. tobi was good enough to simply hold naruto as a hostage rather than killing him right away. oro was good enough to simply train sasuke and kimimaro rather than kill them. granted he wanted henchmen but sauske had no real intention of obeying him.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WORSE THAN BEING FORCED TO WATCH YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY BEING MURDERED OVER AND OVER FOR 72 HOURS? what could be worse than being called nothign and pathetic by your own brother, and being told that he had to kill a friend to be able to kill him? what kind of sick mind could think of something worse?
he DID put him in a coma. one he might never have awoken from without the greatest medic in the world returning to konoha.
yeah because good people force their 7 year old brother to watch genocide for hours all the time.
no he didnt. look in the manga section for the real translation. so not harming jiraiya is ok but ordering kakashi's attempted murder after brutally torturing him is A-ok? what kind of person are you?
even madara is more merciful than itachi. he hasnt even broken out the genjutsu on tsunade yet despite wanting her dead.
