Is Itachi a child murderer ?

[Beatrix]

Sasuke was 7 when Itachi killed as his clan members. Nowhere is it said that Sasuke was youngest. In these 7 years many younger Uchiha must also have been born, who would have been younger than Sasuke. So Itachi would have killed many newborns or toddlers of 1-2 years old. I mean what kind of sick person does that ? For any reason

Yes. I think Itachi killed children.

When you defeat an enemy, it was (in history) deemed common sense and practical to kill not just one man - but his children (sons) as well, in case of revenge etc.

In the manga we see that (outside of the massacre) with Pein slaughtering any of Hanzo's relations (likely his sons) and any associated with him.

In our own history infantcide has been (and still is in places) common and widespread.

I think ANBU killed kids on orders - assassinating entire families or clans, would make sense and I'd imagine it would be requested of ninja villages to carry out missions like it.

It's a bit foolish to put modern views upon a fictional universe that specialises in chibi-ninja. Their kids were taught to kill, they killed their enemies (made up of 'children' also), I doubt killing fodder kids was considered much of an issue.

I don't (unlike some people) think the Uchiha Clan was devoid of children with the exception of Sasuke Uchiha.

Nor do I believe that Obito killed the Uchiha children for Itachi during the massacre either.

They would've died anyway

Danzo did mention children being in then clan before the massacre. So it's very likely he did kill the kids as well. Funny, with the no limit fallacy most of IB puts on Itachi, it's no wonder why he went along with Danzo's proposal in the first place, he was in a position to say no, that's If people think Danzo can beat Itachi. He honestly should have taken him down the moment shisui's eye was stolen, almost makes Itachi just as responsible for Danzo's mischief in the Lead as Hiruzen.

So is Shisui then, by that token.

But they are shinobi - and shinobi (by the rulebook) are naught but the tools of their village and those who lead them.

Personally I prefer to lay the blame at the feet of Fugaku, Danzo and Hizuren - mostly Hizuren though as he was Hokage, he enabled Danzo in everything he did and lacked the balls to collect his f*cking head when he committed treason... repeatedly.

 

[Kakooli]

He totsuka'd the children.

 

[DoubleKamui]

Yeah, he was a murderer. It's hard to believe someone like him would kill innocent children and infants who had no involvement with the coup d'etat.

 

[TheEvilOne]

He was a traitor to his own clan, a murderer and a psychopath. I laughed my ass out when he died.

 

[V h o]

For all we know Obito did it Lol

 

[Ken Kaneki]

At least i would want to live in his village instead of other's...
I doubt if it happens in real life, you will still choose to live in leaf village while the third is in charged. Maybe you will never understand why because you dont live in peace country like mine.
Try to look at other country past you can see that leaf village is the most peaceful country in NV.

I sympathise with u sir, but a leader must not agree with the order where a soldier is ordered to kill children of his own village.

While I respect your opinion , I beg to differ.

See when a person chooses to take someone's life he puts his life on line too. (Very true statement by Oda )

In most countries thus the legal limit to join army in 16 or 18. At this time it is believed that people can take decisions if they want to put their life at stake.

In ninja world however, the limit is much lower. It is when a student graduates from Academy and goes on mission. By going on missions he accepts the risk of killing or being killed. This age limit is not appropriate however I agree that you can kill Shinobis.

The problem I have is with killing of toddlers who have not accepted the norm of this world. Maybe they would have become a painter, sold ramen, opened a bar who knows ? Maybe they would not have come after you. Maybe they would have understood. You should give them the chance. That is why generally killing children is considered cowardice.

That is why I cannot accept what Itachi did was moral or even followed soldiers code. He should have made a different choice.

I don't believe so. In an all out war, children would have been spared.

That title goes to Orochimaru.

Indeed its funny, if he could have soloed anybody, he should have soloed Hokage + Danzo to take over. But he could not so he did not.

 

[Ken Kaneki]

That title goes to Orochimaru.

Or Obi to. Obito at least wanted to be

 

[Ken Kaneki]

He totsuka'd the children.

So where are the children then ?

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Or Obi to. Obito at least wanted to be

Lol Hey now. She was his age when she died.

 

[Ken Kaneki]

Lol Hey now. She was his age when she died.

Yeah but wat wen he died? He still wanted to b with her.

 

[FemmeFatale]

I don't believe so. In an all out war, children would have been spared.

That stupid though, It would just give the younger generation more reason to become even more powerful, thus making them even more of a threat.
