But what would you do in a situation like that. Betray your clan or betray kohona. Would you run away and not do as order and everyone including your clan would mock. Itachi did the right thing. I still blame the elders because they could have made a better decision then kill off an entire clan.
[Discussion] Itachi‘s failure as a brother and a shinobi
- Thread starter siyo
- Start date
No one wanted to take advantage of Sasuke. He let them control and use him. He chose the life he's living right now. He could have stayed in the village, became strong but he chose the wrong free power-ups path. Itachi had no control over Sasuke's action. His only failure was letting Sasuke live, it's true but this is what makes him a great brother and a great character. He intended for Sasuke to stay in the village, become strong, kill Itachi and be known as the avenger and the reviver of the Uchiha clan. Itachi still has Uchiha pride as we saw from the last chapter, he did not want Nagato or anyone else to know his mission as it would make the clan look bad.
He did not dedicate his entire life to save Sasuke. He was saving Konoha first and Sasuke second. He recognized Shisui's mission before sparing Sasuke. Instead of wiping out the whole clan, he let his brother live so one day, he can revive the name of the Uchiha clan. He did all this silently without anyone knowing for more than a decade and no one would even know if it hadn't been for Tobi. Itachi is still known as the ruthless murderer who massacred his whole clan, leaving his brother behind to live a miserable life. He shows no emotions at all, always remains calm no matter what the situation. He knows self-sacrifice just as much as Shisui did. He was and diplanned 10 steps ahead of everyone, even after his death. These are all characteristics of a great ninja.
The choices he was left with were no easy choices, you have to admit. Kill his clan to prevent an all out war within the village and possibly outside or let the Uchiha go ahead with theit coup d'etate and have thousands if not millions killed. Uchiha would've ended up like the Kaguya clan imo.

hellloo i'm new here
. i'd like to respond to you. but what if u knew you're family was planning horrible things. things which could involve killing and destroying lives hundreds of innocent people. heck it could start an international war. would u be ok with that?
if so... O.O but a normal person would tell the police about it. in naruto world i guess killing a clan is a good option too xD.

lol I was thinking about this too today. I know people love Itachi and think hes awesome, but in reality he failed pretty badly. xd
His plan was for Sasuke to revive the clan and the Uchiha name and instead he ended up becoming one of the most wanted criminals in the world.

Well itachi could only do so much, its sasuke's fault for becoming a criminal.
Sasuke knows the truth and you would think out of respect for his brother he would help protect what itachi wanted to protect not destroy it and make his brothers sacrifice/death pointless
dude if i had 2 kill my whole family i wudnt even LOOK at konoha anymore. id be lyk F**K KONOHA.U WUD REALLY KILL UR WHOLE FAMILY FOR THE STATE U LIVE IN? THT IS JUST INSANE. killing your own entire clan isnt right thing tht is wat ninjas do kill kill kill.

I disagree.
If you love your brother you cant fail as a brother. and a shinobi has to sacrifice himself and Itachi did that

Heres why I think Itachi is a failure. As a double agent he was in the best position to use Naruto's meathod of bringing peace to both sides by lying to everyone but he couldnt even do that right. At least thats all I know.
He actually did lie to everyone. I don't think you know at all. Tobi is the one who exposed his cover. He was a double agent until his death, even after his death he wanted to be known as a criminal for the sake of Uchiha and Konoha.
No I mean when he was still in the leaf. You know lie to the 3rd Hokage and all of them and tell them that the Uchiha called of that coup d'etat and at the same time tell his own family that that Leaf has forgiven for all previous blame and that that the Leaf will do anything to make it up to them.

you know he did kill babies in the uchiha clan thats not a hero to me.
A picture is worth thousand words, it's true!!
People who defend Itachi are usually called bias but that can be associated with many vs. threads. You will always cheer for your favorite character. There is no favoritism in this thread though.
It's like making a Minato failure thread, saying he failed to stopped Tobi and it makes him a bad ninja. Minato also kind of started this war. In reality, all this was not in Minato's control just as Sasuke's path was not in Itachi's hands.

Also just a side note. You shouldn't really compare the ideals, rules, and justice of the narutoverse with our own reality. Itachi did the best he could under the circumstances. Anybody here that was ordered to kill your family because they were planning a rebellion against your country and you had to shoulder all that hate and burden n protecting the pride of your clans name?i don't think so... Also, his original intention for sasuke was so that he would die by his hand and sasuke would be a hero for the village and restore his name. Yeah it backfired n sasuke went loco, but you canr plan for everything. Sasuke imo its reading his books upside down n getting all the wrong messages. Lol
