I'm a self-confessed Itachi fan-girl, but so is Hashirama so it's all good *_*
I don't like to ignore his faults - I feel he speaks from experience when giving Naruto advice on power/arrogance/isolation and how doing it alone leads to failure.
And he wasn't perfect, neither was his plan - nor do I think was his actions. Still, he did what he did with the best of intentions and did it with a sense of nobility.
The fact he was single-handedly dealing with shit on all sides; Madara/Tobi, the Uchiha Clan, Sandaime, Danzo, Konoha Council, Akatsuki - and dealt with it all at the age of 13/14, is incredibly impressive.
I don't like to gloss over the fact he murdered his entire clan - every. single. one. It's not like they were all shinobi, I don't think Sasuke was the only kid either.
Any thoughts on that?
I also kind of like how we never see him fight at his full capacity. How he can trap others in genjutsu with a twitch of his finger... WITH A FINGER. lol
