Kishimoto's concept art for Itachi. Hideous

[Fire Goddess]

Reading the profile on Danzo on the Naruto Wikia, allegedly in the Jin no Sho, Kishi's early concept art for Itachi was supposed to look like this.

Jeezus! He looks terrible. I don't get a true shinobi/loving brother vibe from this Itachi. Rather a creep villain vibe, who would try to panty peep all the girls in Konoha. Or maybe a character in a fight or another shonen manga.

Also the page said that some of Itachi's inital designs were used in crafting Danzo. Most notably the 'X' on his chin.

Be thankful for what we have.
