He made Sasuke hate him and made himself look like a villain so that Sasuke could become a hero and so that the Uchiha clan could still have a good reputation.
both are impossible.
sasuke wouldnt be a hero, hed be ANOTHER VILLAIN.
he didnt make sasuke hate him. he brutally and viciously mindraped sasuke and broke his mind completely, leaving him in a coma.
uchihas wouldnt have a good reputation, they'd always be the clan that had three of its members go batshit rogue.
If he sided with the clan almost all of Konoha would be destroyed and he and probably most of his clan including his brother would be dead.
wrong. if he was with his clan from the beginning they woudl retain surprise and probably consolidate power before konoha could react, and then tell them "look if you fight us, we'll kill each other so lets accept uchiha control".
that or avoid a fight and just force hiruzen to select an uchiha as successor.
they would have shisui with them, they could do that. in fact that was probably the plan till shisui died.
He joined akatsuki so that he could be the villain and the Uchiha reputation would stay alive. Actually he kinda was forced to be a double agent because he was still an anbu in Konoha.
he joined akatsuki so he could murder and torture others, and help akatsuki become the strongest organisation in the world.
he didnt spy on anything, since konaha was clueless about akatsuki and needed to find things out about them on the fly. meaning itachi betrayed them and hoarded all the intel to himself.
He chose make his life suffer instead of having others suffer.
no he did choose to have others suffer. naruto, kakashi, sasuke massively, the jins
Thie war affected him so bad that he turned into a pacifist.
what was so pacificistic about becoming a violent torturing mindrapist?
He had to kill his whole family and clan
no he didnt! he chose that.
then made sasuke suffer more so that Sasuke would kill him.
exactly. HE MADE AN INNOCENT SCREAMING BOY SUFFER. hes a monster and needed to be stopped
And then when he came back with the edo tensei he finds out after everything his brother wants to destroy the village,
because of his brutal mindrape and brainwashing
I also forgot to mention how he had to join akatsuki and harm the village he wanted to protect.
he ensured konoha would be destroyed. so how did he want to protect it if he betrayed it in every way?
