1.) Itachi is a good guy and he always was but was it ever foreshadowed that he was good before he gave Naruto the crow?

2.) Also was Itachi aware that Tsunade was going to heal Kakashi and Sasuke after using Tsukiyomi on them in part 1?

Itachi was originally planned to be a bad guy but because of Itachi fans Kishimoto made him a 'good' version of Hitler.

"why didn't he kill our fodder asses!?" -kakashi rough translation from p1..

"we will all die if we fought" humble excuse from m'Lord to not diminish konohas defenses

surely he did as he also broke sasuke arm i believe.

You're probably the only Sasuke fan here who doesn't like Itachi, lol.

The Light frightens him, else he'd stop hating and PUT SOME RESPECK ON HIS M'FK'N NAME..

it was somehow foreshadowed... but in a brilliant way... we never could say for certain if he was really evil or not, thus we assumed he was evil. what fun would a plot twist be if it wasnt a plot twist after all? tbh i think itachi is pretty much the best written char/story in the whole manga..... no fanboying here its my honest opinion... i remember the day i ****ing hated him for being so cruel. but still wondered why he spared sasuke, why he didnt kill kakashi and the rest, why he didnt even fight jiraya etc... and i still remember how devastated i was when i found out that he was a good guy after all

I don't think Itachi knew that Tsunade would heal them. He's not omniscient. He's not Aizen.

Yeah, ad nauseam.

He was aware that they would be fine (albeit I doubt he knew Tsunade would do it) as they'd wake up anyway + be taken to the hospital as Jiraiya was there to take care of it. And Gai was there for Kakashi.

Though, he didn't know when they'd wake up- he used Tsukyomi to knock them out (avoid killing them) but the time the victim is out depends upon their own mental strength. Hence why Kakashi got 72 hours and was out for a day but Sasuke got a third of that and was out longer. He can't control that.

I buy it. Forgetting about the tears from itachi and unlocking sharingan that fateful night explains why he had 2T in one of his eyes during the land of waves arc. Brilliant imo

1. Itachit could hv killed a lot of leaf ninja but didnt. Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi, Kurinai, and Surutobi's Kid and with the help of Kisame i believe Jariya would of had a hard time. one Sannin couldnt deal with him and he evaded him easily and made him look so weak and insignificant. He always showed a lot of restraint when fighting a Kanoh Ninja. People always forget Itachi was one of the strongest ninjas ever if he wanted you dead you would be dead.

2. He knew Kakashi was strong or possible didnt care and used him as collateral damage. But with Sasuke it was all part of him becoming stronger if he couldnt survive a Tsukiyomi he couldnt survive everything else he was goin to go through.Or maybe it was part of his plan to make Jariya and Naruto go find lady Tsunade so she could be the next hokage and not Danzo. Knowing she is the best medical Nin and could be one of the ppl to cure their minds and with the new hokage tht he trusted just died he probably wanted someone who wasnt the elders who made him destroy his clan and be powerful enough to be hokage. keep in mind he is a genius and a amazing strategist

jus my thoughts...

Nope.

From the Kobayashi interview Kishi had, this is what he had to say:


However, at the point where Itachi is actually introduced, Kishimoto had decided to secretly make him a good guy, but the reason he did something bad was because of circumstances.

Source:

Not a retcon as from the time he introduced the character (which would be back when Sasuke first had a flashback of him during the FoD arc), the intent did not change and was carried out. Anything prior to that (throwing around ideas) is meaningless.

exactely. its the little details we fail to notice. but sadly most people just say stupid things like "retcon" and "plot" just cause theyre too stupid and cant see stuff like that...

Still a really bad guy.

Good or bad, I enjoyed the way he was introduced in the manga and how he kicked Kakashi's ass so easily. He was impressive to say the least and I liked him even though he was a bad guy.

Lol, same. I don't know why people think liking villains in anime is a big deal. Itachi was awesome as a villain too.
