What about Itachi would make you even begin to think that he wouldn't be the greatest Hokage of all time? The Leaf Village was all he cared about
there is the thing that he was manipulated fairly easily, he killed his own parents(not to mention his own ppl and gf), and tortured his own brother to get what he wanted. I know that stuff makes me think he wouldn't be the greatest Hokage ever. Despite the wank Hashirama and Hiruzen thrown on him(namely because i think it contradicts some things), i would sooner leave that place than accept a lifetime of me calling him my Hokage. He wouldn't be someone i could ever trust.

Itachi would have made a wonderful Hokage, he had the intelligence, understanding and heart. However, he would have considered himself unworthy of the title and refused, hoping someday Sasuke would claim it and bring honor to the Uchiha name.

He wasn't manipulated. He was always aware of what he was doing. Also, even in the moments before he killed his parents, they were showering him with praise. He was admired by everyone who ever learned the truth about him.

He killed his clan for the village, he joined the akatsuki for the village, he lived his life as a lie for the village, he died for the village, and even his last words he said he loved his village.

SO WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. what do you mean he did it for what he wanted? What good did he get out of it but hurt and pain? Huh? Exactly stop hating.

And i think i speak for every itachi fan when i say GTFOH.

Shisui for Hokage and Itachi for his advisor.

Danzo directly put the idea of doing it in his head all while making it sound like he'd be doing it to protect Sasuke. It's manipulation.
Also, even in the moments before killed his parents, they were showering him with praise.
Fugaku said they would always be proud of him despite his choice, he didn't say Itachi was doing the right thing. Big difference.
He was admired by everyone who ever learned the truth about him.
and those same ppl are hypocrites. If it was such a great thing to do and there was absolutely nothing wrong about it, why keep it a secret? Those kinds of secrets are only kept when the parties keeping them know they did something wrong.

He killed his clan for the village, he joined the akatsuki for the village, he lived his life as a lie for the village, he died for the village, and even his last words he said he loved his village.
i don't give a monkey's left nut at all what his dying words were. There's no denying he did it in part to have things his way and the fact that he took it upon himself to toy around with Sasuke's emotions and his life tells me what i need to know.

SO WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. what do you mean he did it for what he wanted? What good did he get out of it but hurt and pain? Huh? Exactly stop hating.

Itachi was manipulated or rather used by Danzo. While Hiruzen stood by and spoke platitudes.

All those scans.

What did itachi get out of killing the uchiha and joining the akatsuki? My point EXACTLY.

Who needs to bring scans when its stated in the manga that itachi killed his clan for the village?

Ofc. He did more than some other Hokages for the village.

the purpose was in making Sasuke Konoha's knight in shining armor. Itachil took it upon himself to singlehandedly be the master of other ppl's destinies all while deciding his ideals were the only ones an Uchiha should have. That is selfish, because while he didn't directly benefit from it, murdering those ppl served his agenda and he didn't give the slightest thought to who it would end up effecting.

What makes what he did even more foolish is that not only he could have just as well have done that w/o murdering ppl and doing what he did to Sasuke by becoming the new clan head(since Fugaku was already trying to groom him for it), by doing what he did he played a part in help starting the current war in which Konoha-nin got killed anyway. And now his stupidity has helped give birth to Sasuke's ideology that as long as one says it's for another's protection, they have a license to do w/e the hell they want w/o needing to worry about consequences.

The purpose was to prevent a war that the uchiha was planning to do. So he took the burden into preventing that.

Take it how you wanna.

He would've protected the village till his last breath. He loved the village more than his clan.
But honestly, if the coup didnt happen I think Shisui would've been a better candidate.

L.E.:
Shisui for Hokage and Itachi for his advisor.

Yes!

He killed his clan for the village, he joined the akatsuki for the village, he lived his life as a lie for the village, he died for the village, and even his last words he said he loved his village.

SO WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. what do you mean he did it for what he wanted? What good did he get out of it but hurt and pain? Huh? Exactly stop hating.

Dont even bother, its useless.

If they dont like a character, why join a thread about him, spend time to post replies and talk shit and get mad over a comic character.

I dont get it. Its beyond me.

No. He doesn't have enough charisma and seems to lack largely in the empathy/emotional expression departments (even before the massacre) which would lead to him not being highly relatable or even being able to inspire non-uchiha.

Not only this, but he thinks only with his head and not enough with his emotions. The whole genocide as a preemptive means to combat war was a heartless solution. It may have been the best on paper, but it does not embody the spirit of the leaf, let alone very much humanity. In the position of a leader, it was truly one of the worst solutions possible.

Not only was he completely manipulated by the psychopath Danzo, but other than intelligence, Itachi lacks very important leadership qualities. Even before the genocide, Itachi was not the type of person that could be a human symbol of the leaf. Perhaps an older, wiser, and undisturbed Itachi would have these qualities, but he clearly was not ready at the time for such a decision, let alone becoming a hokage.

I love Itachi, but his character is not comparable to Hashirama, Hiruzen, Minato, or Tsunade, all of which who show qualities of great leaders. He is similar to Tobirama in some ways, but even Tobirama's term as Hokage could be been in question considering all the problems his actions caused down the road.
