Itachi himself acknowledged himself as a failure ...., I mean come on how the F**k can you live at first a nice happy life and make your little brother be so obsessed with you in a nice way ..., and then Kill your whole clan and not only that but mind rape your brother and make him watch you do it to them over and over again ..., I mean Itachi being peacful and Konoha's mission was just an as*pull from Kishi it completely contradicts that day ....I mean even if you want to protect your village and choose it over your clan for the greater good ..., that doesn't mean that you should mind rape your little brother and f*** up his life with hatred ..., actually Sasuke is not responsible for his fu*** up life , he is not responsible for all the Hatred/Nikushimi ...that followed him his entire life , and also if Konoha had reached Sasuke after his battle with Itachi before Tobi and Zetsu .., no F***ing way that Sasuke would have refused to go back with them ...but they were too late and Tobi , fu**d up his life even more by telling him the supposed "Truth" about Itachi that drove Sasuke more insane ..even Tobi admitted to Naruto and co. at the Land of Iron ..when he told them that "Hatred" is Sasuke's Nindo/Ninja way .." Nikushimi.. Ko re` da Sasuke no nindo da ! " - Tobi
after all this I don't hate Itachi and I am not a fanboy for Sasuke either , even though you are entitled to your own opinion , think what you want of me .. I'm just stating facts and I know this had been said time and time again ..but emo is just a stupid excuse , if anyone should be entitled "emo" it should be " Uchiha Madara " the legendary shinobi that fought the 1st .., he had absolutely no reason to refuse to live a peacful life with the Senju , he took his brothers' own eyes just for pure selfishness and still failed ...atleast Sasuke lost everything in his life !
