you are right my friendi have no idea what the hell itachi was thinking and no one else either lol, but for real how come itachi just didn't bust out with the Susanoo Sword and kill aleast 8 of the Akatsuki yeah pain is dead against the sword of Sword of Totsuka ( the big fiery sword itachi suanoo has lol ) if he really wanting to help the leaf, or better yet how come he didn't just way the ten years out and use Shisui Uchiha Kotoamatsukami jutsu ( its the ultimate genjutsu) on tobi and stop the war and the real threat to the leaf, not sasuke at the time he wasn't but now maybe sasuke is a bad boy, wait oh yeah itachi could have use Izanami or Izanagi to kill pain and how come he didn't work with Jiraiya to bring down the Akatsuki,i'm sue if he would have the Akatsuki would have been dead to much intel on them guys and their just good fighters at best, well the leaf with some help from other village of course. yeah itachi is not that smart and neither is his fanboys and girls lol, eh i should say i'm drunk typing this so this a good post tome
