itachi became a violent sociopath who slaughtered his entire clan even though a good percentage were innocent children.
so no i wouldnt want him for hokage. the other hokages are questionable at best but they wouldnt ever torture a child just to be a di ckhole.
He would be just like Minato , the best Hokage IMO.
so minato is an evil torturing murderer who casually orders a 7 year old to slaughter his friends, attempts to brainwash and enslave anyone who leaves his town, does nothing at all about major threats to his town for several years and commits numerous acts of treason and terrorism?
Politics: Itachi wants peace and is very well spoken and intelligent to back it up
itachi wants konoha to rule over everyone else with an iron fist. no one else matters and if you leave he will brainwash you and force you to go back.
intelligent? his blunders made everything much much harder for konoha
you mean he surely would have slaughtered innocent people like he always does, torture children like he always does and lie to,manipulate and ignore everyone else.
Itachi is the hero that Konoha deserves, but not the one it needs inside..They call him criminal.because he can bear it.because no matter what he wants to protect the village and his clans name.He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector.A true Shinobi.A PERFECT SPY.
itachi is the most cruel and selfish villain in the series, or close to it. so evil and so sociopathic that he brutally tortured a screaming innocent child, beat him to an inch of his life and told him he should murder his friends for power without any remorse for the consequences. as well as his abiltity to butcher an entire clan of people based on the orders of a scary old man who just wants power, and is willing to even kill children for a corrupt government without ever questioning them.
he sat back and watched as akatsuki, orochimaru, danzo and sasuke wrecked a path of destruction across the entire world, doing nothing at all to even slow them down. so selfish and so indecisive that he would have let kisame cut narutos legs off. again a screaming innocent defenceless boy and itachi wants to cause them pain.
perfect spy huh? so what exactly did konoha know about akatsuki? did they know they had a rinnegan? no. hell they didnt even know kisame had a sword that shivs chakra. kind of important intel eh?
he killed his clan to stop a war that would without a doubt have tons of casualties and almost definitely would cause the other villages to invade the leaf due to the loss in power which would of had them taken over, its not an easy decision but itachi did what he had to.
which could be accomplished without killing ALL of the clan. im sure at least some of those dead bodies were children.
how can you make peace on a foundation of blood and murder? you cant. violence makes more violence. the best plan would have been to let shisui do what he said he was gonna do. but no, itachi just lets him rip his eye out for no real reason.
also whats your evidence any other nation would attack them? there isnt any. they would have minded their own business just like every other time konoha had an internal disaster or attack.
he pick 1000 people to save and like 40 to kill. the guy was a hero.
so butchering innocent children and then torturing the survivor makes you a hero? ok. maybe i should travel back in time, kill your family and torture you. then you would run up and hug me because thats just so fukin heroic!
also yes doing something like that is necessary and saved lives. but its not heroic and every action he undertook afterwards killed more pople than it saved. way more! they have an entire clan devoted to spying and intel gathering and who do they send? itachi. who did nothing for 10 years and couldnt even tell konoha that kisame has a shivving sword.
I personally feel he'd be better as an aide
so a violent torturing sociopath who orders murders on a whim should get promoted?
He'd have been good. He was intelligent, powerful, and not the type to rush into things.
he also was free of any guilt when casually ordering sasuke to kill innocent people for power, tortured sauske to insanity, beat sauske inot a coma, tortured naruto and kakashi for no reason, made several terrorist acts against his country, endangered everyone in the world with his braindead inaction, helped murder 6 people etc
Itachi would have been the best hokage yet.
if you mean in terms of butchering innocent people, torturing children, being the worst spy in history and telling no one anything, and doing nothing about major global threats for 10 years then yeah he would be a good one.
