The Uchiha were planning to take over the Leaf, thus causing a war
wrong. a couponot a war. and a war only would start if konoha was unhappy with their new leaders. thus konoha starts the war. even more so since the only reason they wanted a coup is because konoha was always repudiating and segregating uchihas, blaming them for stuff they didnt even do. uchihas were sick of not being free in the country they helped build.
He should be proud of Itachi, he saved many more lives by killing the Uchiha, he's a hero in the shadows. Itachi had to take care of business, it was the mature and right thing to do
the right thing to do would be killing the ringleaders and making the rest decide if they really want to die as well by going along with the dead peoples plan.
the right thing to do would be informing everyone about the truth of the kyuubi assault via memory testimony.
the right thing to do would be killing 4 people to save hundreds. if theres no elders, and hiruzen is convinced to hand over power peacefully via contract, theres no need for further bloodshed. itachi chose to murder every single living thing in his path than just the crochety old men who drove uchiahs into a corner in the first place.
the right thing to do would be saving his mother and father along with sasuke, at the very least. who cares if they knew about it? that doesnt mean they are evil and deserve to die.
Only 2 alive people in the Leaf was apart of the planning of the massacre(those two old people and Tobi)
maybe so but sasuke believes that since the elders ordered the slaying of innocent uchihas, that means the only way to get true revenge is killing everyone that the elders care about. so that maybe theyd understand the warcrime they committed.
the only reason there wasnt a war that could have killed them all is because itachi sacrified himself,
wrong. the only reason there wasnt a war is because danzo ordered what needed to be done. i doubt itahci would have done anything if danzo hadnt used his pacifism to do what danzo wanted him to do. the onyl reason there would have been a war is if konoha didnt let uchihas rule peacefully. there could have been a peaceful handing over of power. hiruzen was getting old anyway and fugaku was as good a candidate as any. but hiruzen refused to do this and risked starting a war because he liked power too much.
he wants to kill the entire leaf village, which is a bitch-ass move coz 99% of them have nothing to do with the massacre
he isnt killing them because of that. hes killing them because they live ignorant of itachis life, and because he wants to make people experience the same pain he has. konoha ordered the deaths of innocent civilians and now sasuke wants to do the same thing himself. so really sasuke is only as bad as danzo and hiruzen.
Itachi gladly took that role in order to save his bro
itachi didnt save anything. all he did was make sasuke suffer needlessly for years in his own darkness and turn sasuke into a monster.
