the jins (gaara, naruto, bee) had it worse. so did nagato and haku.
I think that Hitachi has had the roughest life in Naruto, yes worse than naruto because he was completely labeled as a traitor and hated by everyone including his own brother who he loved most.
yet brutally butchered and betrayed his own mother, and didnt even try to prove innocence or save her. he chose to cut his whole clan to pieces when they were sleeping and couldnt even defend themselves, all because they fought for their freedom, and honor. uchihas were practically royalty yet had no power or freedom in their own village. itachi chose to leave the village and join akatsuki. itachi chose to sadistically and savagely torture people into comas. itachi chose to threaten high treason against his whole village. he chose to savagely attack konoha citizens. he chose to plan to brainwash his brother after foolishly turning him into a monster by torturing and manipulating him into living an even worse life than itachi did. the only bad part in his life that was forced on him was the massacre. before that he was a prized prodigy and everyone loved him.
Hitachi had to SUFFER YEARS for killing all his clan with his own hand AND making his brother who he LOVES hate him. It a life of devastation
he chose to do all that. he could have told sasuke the truth from the start. he could have let tobi do most of the actual slayings. and he could have stayed in the fire country, so he could protect it properly. but no he chose to abandon all of them and instead make akatsuki even stronger. if itachi truly loved sauske he wouldnt have made him a monster.
e was seen as the bad guy in the beginning when really he's probably the most kind person in the series.
um no itachis one of the most ruthless and horrible human beings ive ever seen. and your just as evil for thinking that brutal and savage torture, beatings, GENOCIDE and attempted murders are KIND.
Itachi was forced to do something I'm sure he never dreamed of doing...
who forced him? no one. he chose to commit mass murder for a village that is utterly corrupt and provoked the uchihas in the first place.
for the greater good of mankind.
and then put millions of people in danger by doing horrible things for akatsuki yet never doing anything to them back, and also planned high treason against konoha.
yes because sadistic brutal and savage torture of a 7 year old by making them watch their parents and relatives get cut to pieces over and over is the actions of a good guy. saintly even.
