He was already able to think like a Hokage at age 7 and once he got MS he was easily high kage level.
that doesnt mena anything. hokages are hokages because of many years of expeirence, patience and a calm mind. itachi proved to be a violent evil psychopath madman who murdered countless people and toruted children. pretty sure thats no longer hokage thinking.
Konoha would have been too OP. He would have destroyed Obito when he showed up and would have taken Orochimaru to school.
so being higher in rank means you get a power boosT? he failed to kill oro even when playing the part of a ruthless killer
but i see what you mean and i still disagree because he loved konoha so much. he would never have turned out like madara. the massacre is proof how much he loved the hidden leaf. i
itachi did everything he could to make the leaf defenseless and get massacred. he did nothing about the akatuski or oro for 10 years which caused a devastating attack. he did nothing to inform or war konoha about the enemy plans which caused much more deaths than needed. he helped murder 6 jinchrikis in cold blood. he tortured sasuke to madness. he put kakahsi in a coma when they were low on manpower as it was at the time.
itachi is a bumbing evil fool who did everythig he could to help make the world war as bloody and horrible as possible.
itahci is so insane that he thinks tormenting a child and making them hate everything is the key to power. only a madman with sociopathic evil beliefs would do such a thing.
itahci is so evil he murdered countless children and women just for knowing about a coup. even though they were little ot no threat.
As for him killing the clan, it was either them alone or the entire village.
how? they could have resolved it without killing anyone. and its not like a powerful empire like konoha is gonna fall eaisly to one clan trying a coup. stop trying to make it more black and white than it actually was.
He still chose the village over the clan
he chose genoicde over sensible peaceful methods.
I still feel that he wouldn't be above asking for help when he needed it though. We can see that when he asked Obito to help him in the massacre.
So I still feel that he would be a great Homage.
so inviting a terrorist madman into your village based on flimsy alliance is hokage level thinking? all hokages besides hashirama and tsunade were shit
I
tachi can make hard decisions though. He was able to kill his family for the village, yes it's controversial, but that's something the other hokage's wouldn't have done. Itachi can make hard decisions though. He was able to kill his family for the village, yes it's controversial, but that's something the other hokage's wouldn't have done.
itachi is insane and brutal. thats why he can do that. the others would have found a better solution.
just because you say you did a genocide for the greater good doesnt justify said genocide. it onyl means your an extremist violent murderer who is cloaking horrible crimes in the dogma of the "for the greater good" excuse. if it was such a hard but necessary decision why did they cover it up as some big conspiracy. havent the other ninaj vilages done equal or worse things?
Itachi is more of a realist than the other kages, but he still has a kind enough heart to where he'll always put others, especially the village before him.
itachis never put anyone above himself. hes an insane brutal psychopath, not a "realist"/. its all about him. all the time. HIS village. HIS brother. theres never any care or concern for the peasants suffering in poverty in some other neighbouring nation in itachis mind. its all focused on how hes feeling guilty, he is going bloind, be wants to kill obito, he wants to lie manipulate and control koha and sasuke. etc.
