Who did more for their Country? Minato or Itachi?

[shogun973]

if itachi didn't exterminate his clan danzo would find another way to do it. however that would make them in front of villagers eyes. having itachi do it was the most logical option that's why it happened. however if it weren't for minato konoha would've been destroyed. third would've probably died same goes for naruto, and tobi would have one less village to fight in order to achieve his goals.

so I'll go with minato (I congratulate you for the title. this is the first time I'm picking minato over itachi)

wrong lol they were gonna revolt and if itachi wasn't a double agent konoha wouldn't kno

I also forgot to add that Minato is essentially protecting the leaf village even in death considering the power Naruto's using right now is due to Minato sealing the kyuubi in him.

Itachi on the other hand put the village in danger by not killing Sasuke. Now what does Sasuke want do? Destroy the entire village and slaughter every person in it.

Sasuke didn't want to slaughter everyone in the village, he just wanted to take revenge on the elders and especially Danzo.

 

[UzumakiZoey]

LOL!

Again, if itachi "did" so much more than Minato, let me ask you something.
This plan of itachi how well did it work XD? correct me if i am wrong, those dead uchiha's who has their eyes in storage readying to be used? oh wait, its Tobi lol so much for itachi doing more for the village? he just fueled the bad guy with "eyes" to be used. Did sasuke not just killed a hokage and now trying to destory Kohanna....Nices job protecting the leaf Itachi. but flip the scrip, even if it is the duty of a hokage to protect his village well matters not. Minato still save all the uchiha's and the "future" giving his life. If he did not give Naruto the kyuuby think of all the things that would have went wrong....... Itachi plan was only for a Village, Minato's plan was for the "future" remember tobi wants to rule the world.​

if you want to play it that way, then all the credit goes to hashiramaU_U,
but in here we are talking about their effort to protect the village when they livedU_U

 

[UzumakiZoey]

Itachi saved the village many times if you think of it....

1) He saved it from the uchihas,

2) he saved it from a ninja war

3) because of him, konoha couldnt be touched by akatsuki... which means he gave Naruto time to get stronger, because when he finally died,and pain went to konoha, if naruto wasn't there and that strong, it was over for that village

clap clap

 

[GenKiDama]

Itachi because it was on way more of a personal level, and than to continue to serve his country after killing his family, lover, friends etc. And than wanted his brother to make the uchiha name great again. Yes what minato did was great, but he died and didn't give as much time to the leaf if you understand what i mean..

 

[jtolliver87]

nope. look
itachi mission is to prevent the uchiha to execute their rebellion plan, because if clan like the uchiha's started a commotion in the leaf then it will let/invite the other village to join the fray and take advantage from that situation, and will lead to the 4th ninja war,U_U

plus itachi manage to make tobi stay away from the leaf,U_U

Any plan involving genocide is just instant FAIL.....He turned the only person he cared about evil and has now made him a target for the village he was supposed to save,and as we've seen tobi he didnt stop tobi from doing anything and he definitely didnt stop a war he kinda egged it on by helping tobi...if he were noble he wouldve died trying to take tobi out

 

[Hyperion]

Minato.

You don't reach Hokage just because all your fanboys ride you so much.
Minato helped stop a war and saved a village while his nuts created the main character.

 

[senninferdy]

Both of them did as much to Konoha.It will be pointless creating such a debate.The question should be "What will each of them have done if their roles were inversed?" i e Itachi being Yondaime and having to defend konoha and Minaato being an anbu agent asked to slaughter his clan inorder to save konoha

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

its not itachi who turned sasuke into raging brat, it was tobiU_U
and yes itachi did stop tobi from attacking the leaf and made a deal so tobi will never touch the leaf,

and yeah he prevent the war, itachi can easily betray konoha back then and yet he don't do that, instead he betray his clan and put a stop into the uchiha plan and manage to keep peace for the leaf.

shinobi from the past only manage to gain temporary peace such as hashirama, the legendary sannin,minato and itachi, none of them can stop a war they can only delay itU_U

 

[Hyperion]

Look at it like this.

No Minato, Itachi dies with little Sasuke.
The Villagers were not winning.

 

[chazbak]

minato

true, but boss

here we are talking about their effort/sacrifices to protect the village

 

[Nova89]

i would say minato becasue even tho itachis did alot becasue of what he done it turned sasuke evil and now sasuke could destroy the leaf minato gave naruto the power to stop that so....

 

[BelievesItsNotButter]

We only know Minato's one act so its hard to say. Assuming that is all he ever did as hokage then Itachi. However, Minato is an inspiration to the village and made a huge impact on everyone around him and those after him. If we think like Shikamaru and Asuma and consider who is the *King* of the village, Minato is the winner here. He created something for all those unborn children to look up to and aspire to.

 

[Hyperion]

true, but boss

here we are talking about their effort/sacrifices to protect the village

I see, well Itachi did more but the quality of Minato's work far outweighs Itachi's quantity.

 

[Disquiet]

first, I agree with the guy who put it as a separation of sacrifice and "who did more for their village".

second, everyone is bringing up irrevelant topic, sasuke wants to kill the village? minato basically saved itachi? none of that matters, what's the worse thing that could happen to the village? it gets destroyed. did not both of them prevent this? and yes itachi did it on more than one occasion, had itachi not killed his clan, they would have attacked, and please people, it would have been way more than a few konoha shinobi getting killed, weak in numbers other countries would have invaded, tobi and itachi understood this, it's also common sense U_U

then he joined the akatsui and stopped them from attacking it, by the time they were ready, so was naruto and was able to give his talk-no jutsu to nagato.

 

[mateosss]

wahahaha i like how minato fanboys spam the poll its obvious that its itachi he killed his own clan ''WHOLE UCHIHA CLAN'' for the village... KEEP an EYE on the ORGANIZATION that is dangerous on the VILLAGE how can you live like ITACHI????

 

[Orochimaruwantsyourbody]

Itachi suspended Tobi much longer than Minato did.​

Itachi saved the village many times if you think of it....

1) He saved it from the uchihas,

2) he saved it from a ninja war

3) because of him, konoha couldnt be touched by akatsuki... which means he gave Naruto time to get stronger, because when he finally died,and pain went to konoha, if naruto wasn't there and that strong, it was over for that village
