"Itachi was such a hero/villian!" -> Guys, look @ the bigger picture!

[Jobrjo]

Ok guys. 1st things 1st. I'm not here to say Itachi was a great person. Nor am I to say he was a bad person. Please understand that as you read below.

Most people that contest Itachi's hero-ism say that he killed his entire clan. And others justify that it would've happened anyway, and he just saved the leaf.

Now this is what I mean look at the bigger picture: step outside the Narutverse. It seems apparent that ORIGINALLY, Kishimoto wanted Itachi to be a villain. That is why he had him kill his clan, inspire Sasuke to darkness, and be a powerful antagonist.
But as time went on, specifically as we got to Shippuden, Kishimoto CHANGED his mind, and wanted to make Itachi a protagonist- just one that was in a difficult predicament. That's why we get all these explanations, back-stories, blackmailing, coup de' ats, reasons, righteous actions, etc.

All I'm saying is that Kishimoto is human, and is writing a manga, which is released on a chapter-by-chapter basis, not all at once. So, when he decided that Itachi shouldn't be a villain, he gave other perspectives that otherwise wouldn't have been there.

Its a good story though by kishi for me kiiling the clan was a sad part of his story life but hes a smart person who would do any thing for the person he loved likee for sasuke

Isn't it alright to discuss and debate NARUTO topics on NARUTObase? It doesn't matter if it's just a manga and it's not real life, we can still argue and discuss it. Well, that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure about that and being a fanfic writer, I've been known to lead people on and surprise them with my true intentions later.

I never saw Itachi as a villain even in the beginning, just a pawn in the greater scheme of things tbh.

Kishimoto foreshadowed much of Shippuden in part 1, so I doubt the main antagonists/protagonists were afterthoughts. Even Obito was planned early despite Tobi fans protests.

I doubt kishi changed his mind, seems like he set it up his story and plot before shippuden started

it's never been stated that Kish I changed his mind about anything. this is the same stupid shit people were saying about Tobi being Obi to.

I am not saying that he didn't change his mind, it's obviously possibly, but it is VERY unlikely, and we have no reason whatsoever to believe that. in fact, he himself has stated that the major plot points have been basically the same since Naruto started. Character designs changed a lot, but I believe the major plot points have been planned well ahead of time. I don't see why you think it's last minute. In my opinion, Kishi is very talented with plot twists, suspense, and misdirection. There are points that he strongly points to one scenario/character, and then pull the surprise. Since we're all talking about it, I'd say it worked.
