his actions also doomed it several times
- ordered narutos murder at sasukes hands = would have revived kyubi at full power
- helped akatsuki gather bijuus = obito declared war to get the final two
- helped danzo and did nothing to stop him = danzo would have declared war on the other nations if they didnt submit to him
- spared orochimaru and did nothing to stop him til it was far too late = third hokage died with half of konoha.
- corrupted sasuke and tortured him to madness -= sasuek almost starts a world war between leaf and cloud
- did nothing to even slow akatsuki down and let obito into konoha = obito could have ditched him and took kyuubi away.
(2) Produced EMS Sasuke, who destroyed Juubito and saved the world from that threat
wow no he didnt. in fact obito was barely hurt if at all. and itachi didt do that. itachi drove sasuke INSANE
Slowed Tobi and his goals for years until Naruto was ready
but naruto wasnt ready. in fact if not for outside aid he WOULD be dead against pain/kakuzu/deidara/sasuke
(3) If he had never driven Sasuke towards hate, Sasuke never would have resurrected the 4 Hokage and saved the ninja world
and because he did he nearly destroyed konoha/captured bee which would start a world war. stop crediting itachi with things that are other peoples own choices lol. if not for suigetsu finding the scroll, could sasuke have decided on that? no.
(4) Saved the Shinobi Alliance by taking out Kabuto
kabuto was really not a threat anymore. he wouldnt have left his cave. itachis best move should ahve been handing sasuke over, and then joining naruto at the battlefront. he risked the lives of the entire alliance for his brother.
also that wasnt really itachi. that was KA itachi programmed to act in certain ways. so really naruto saved the alliance. and even if itachi did end ET, who was it ending? kimimaro and chiyo. its naruto who prevented the alliance being overrun and killed. not itachi
(A Kage's own words "Whoever did this is a hero")
they didnt know itachi was being ordered to do it by a genjutsu. and they didnt know itachis past crimes
(5) Saved multiple Leaf Shinobi by sparing their lives when any other Akatsuki member would have killed them
yet also condemened them to die in destructive invasions that he partly caused as a member of said organisation. without narutos aid, pain would have killed everyone in konoha without breaking a sweat all because of itachis desire to let naruto go that time. akatsuki was gonna get naruto regardless! it only mattered when.
(6) Kishi has stated and implied multiple times he's a hero
stephanie meyer claimed multiple times bella isnt a mary sue.
sometimes the writers do NOT know best. and besides kishis morals arent my own. i can make my own decisions and views based on my morals. not the writer's. and besides kishi does know how to write a hero.
look at naruto. look at minato. look at hashirama. look at mei. third raikage.
