I wonder about Itachi being the youngest member of ANBU at age 10-11. That particular statement comes from a regular member of ANBU who said it in front of Yamato. Yamato was a secret member of ROOT at around the age of 6. Root is a secret division of ANBU. This would make Yamato the youngest member by around five years over Itachi. Yamato didn't correct the regular member because it was, you know, a secret.
It might be that Root only counts as a training division and that full membership counts as something different but I think the Manga and the Anime both make it clear that Root is more than just a pre school version of ANBU (plus Root wear official masks). In which case Itachi would only be the youngest ever official member of the organisation. Both Itachi being the youngest member and the age of Yamato when he joined Root are Anime only facts (.. I think …I was checking it out for a theory not that long ago…sigh).
The Wiki ignores the context of the statement about Itachi being the youngest ever member.
Good facts though.
(I have a horrible feeling I'm inviting so much Itachibase hate for this but it think that particular fact is up for debate)
