So itachi was just a failure...?

[Talal]

It depends, if Kabuto stops being a bad guy then he did great. If not, then he didn't really do much.

 

[Ryuu..]

never wanted to stop "madara", only madara he ever had in mind was tobi, and he said he would leave madara to naruto.. He said he would stop edo tensei,

He stopped edo tensei and kabuto

He was successful only in completing his objective. Overall, it was not a 'success' because Madara is still here.

Hate thread. itachi did well in the manga and it should be left at that. He isn't the strongest but he made the best decisions he could with what he was given. And to point out his flaws rather than Acknowledging what he's done is bogus.

He was successful only in completing his objective. Overall, it was not a 'success' because Madara is still here.

he completed his objective.. I don't even know if he knows edo madara existed....
He still calls tobi madara, and told naruto to handle madara...

Muu and kimimaro etc, would have undoubtedly kill many ninjas... UNDOUBTEDLY.. the seven swordsmen massacred people, and noone in the army is on the level to take on muu or kimmimaro..
The good people are busy fighting tobi, madara etc..

he saved hundreds of lives ..... Wasn't it onoki who said numbers don't matter against dust release?

 

[Shisui Namikaze]

ummm stopping edo tensei.....really a failure

He didn't stop madara with his ending the Edo tensei. So again. Didn't work

 

[lol99]

Its his destiny to fail.

that's how it goes. More than once he remembers Naruto during recent chapters.

Like with so many characters his will too has been passed onto Naruto.

 

[TouchMyMangos]

He even admitted he fails.

 

[Helikido]

Itachi haters are pitiful. That attack anything possible. Is madara your only excuse people?

Please enlightne me who else could have released Edo Tensie?

Please tell me how itachi failed when he obviously completed his object. His goal was to stop edo tensie. he archived it. PERIOD.

 

[Stark]

Itachi saved the shinobi world....

Twice.

no Edo tensei = no war,..so if you are smart enough you can understand

There are few thousands damned zetsu clones left.

Plus if Itachi hadnt tried to do things what he did, things wld have been a lot of worse than it already is.
