Itachi isn't a bad guy for doing what he did. He did what he did for the leaf and for his only brother.
his actions directly resulted in half of konoha being destroyed, its strongest members being murdered and a 4th world war starting.
first he commited mass genocide of women and children, and drove sasuke to insanity and evil by turning him into a vengeful traitor. then he spared orochimaru for no reason and let him declare war on konoha. he even threatened high treason by wanting to sell info about konha to hostile nations. withholding intel on akatsuki from konha led to the murders of asuma and jiraiya who would have lived had they konwn a little more about their opponents. and he started the world war by refusing to warn or seal up the remaining jinchuriki and even helping them seal them up faster than if he had just stayed away from akatsuki. itachi is a brutal cruel murderer and child mindraper. nothing he did benefitted sasuke and genocide doesnt paint a good picture for konoha. if a village forces its soldiers to do somethign so horriific they arent worth saving. itahci should have killed the elders just to round out his genocidal kiling spree. he never even TRIED to save or protect his parents. and dont tell me not a single uchiha was born between massacre and kyuubi attack . itachi killed kids.
If he didn't kill his clan the leaf may have been destroyed.
a what if thats hardly worth murdering women and children over. how is a few kids and housewives threats to national security? destrroying the leaf is the last thing uchihas wanted if they were planning revolution to take political power. danzo was konohas real problem and itachi is danzo's loyal dog. making him also konohas real problem. no genocidal murderer can be considered good.
This and his sig is the exact reason itachi related posts by him aren't taken serious.
yet people keep replying and getting upset

I love how you say all this about Itachi then you have a Gaara avatar
the difference between the two is gaara's well written and his murdering killing sprees arent glossed over and painted as heroism. gaara actually realised the problems in living as a psychopathic selfish dickweed. all itachi did was say he failed. which you tend to do when your plan to make sasuke a hero consists of sadistically and cruelly mindraping him into a coma.
Itachi is a technical pacifist, he would prefer to maim than kill.
when said not killing kills far more people than it saves then itachi is an idiot ineffectual villain.
