How is sasuke this strong cuzz of itachi he trained for revenge
at the cost of sasuke's happiness, physical health and very sanity.
hes this strong because his hate built up and erupted into a torrent of vicious sociopathy
he didn't fought for power fully like madara obito and danzo if he wanted to he cold have taken sasuke eye
he fought for power or else he has no business being this hax and strong.
he didnt want to take sasukes eyes because he preferred the option of killing himself out of cowardice and guilt.
d he sealed orachimaru if he did he would have ended up taking sasuke body
he let orochimaru live for no reason 10 years beforehand, which resulted in a devastating invasion and hiruzens death. too little too late.
yes he stopped it the five Kage nearly died
and werent saved because of itachi but because tsunade was powerful enough to keep them alive long enough for sasukes reinforcements to arrive and karin to heal them.
madara could have finished them off at any point in their battle.
he stopped nothing as the war is still going, and has resulted in mostly defeat for the alliance.
hiruzen said we left everything to itachi he massacre the uchiha clan to stop a war
hiruzen didnt know everything. he didnt know that itachi basically ensured the starting of another war by helping orochimaru and helping akatsuki kill everyone and resurrect juubi.
the massacre was completely unnecessary. why didnt konoha just tell everyone what really happened? because they fuked up, knew they fuked up and had committed a gross war crime, and wanted to hide it.
they could have sieged uchiha compound and killed all the ringleaders then demand the surrender of the rest. crisis over.
and how will it stop a war if they lose an entire strong clan overnight? isnt that one big "invade us" move by konoha?
he didnt protect it AT ALL
