I'm pretty sure Itachi was one of the good guys.

I'm pretty sure Itachi was one of the good guys.

a good guy that >>>>> anyother guy

Kisame captured 4 tails
Hidan captured 2 tails Matatabi
Deidara captured 1 tail and 3 tails
Pain captured Six tails
madara captured kyuubi and Gyuki

what bijuu did itachi capture????
was he there just lazing around with kisame

Actually, Itachi was a spy in Akatsuki, that's why Tobi paired him up with Kisame whom was loyal to Tobi.
The One-Tailed Beast Jinchuuriki was caught by Deidara, with Sasori
The Two-Tailed Beast/Jinchuuriki was caught by Hidan AND Kakuza
The Three-Tailed Beast was caught by Deidara AND Tobi
The Four-Tailed Beast was caught by Kisame
The Five-Tailed Beast was MAYBE caught by Kisame
The Six-Tailed Beast was caught by Pain (anime, i say this because of canonical-d.ckheads)
The Seven-Tailed Beast was caught by IDK/never hinted or stated...
The Eight-Tailed Beast was caught by Madara and Sasuke if he should xount for getting a part of the Eight Tails
The Nine-Tailed Beast was caught by Madara and Black Zetsu, lol.

Itachi is very gentle. He probably didn't want to be directly responsible for the death of the Jinchuriki.

Extraction...he's guilty.

 

[bencoby]

Naa since he was sitting on his ass spying.

 

[Sugiyama]

Who caught the Gobi and the Nanabi then?hmm

 

[AlphaScythian]
