Itachi offered water to an ailing Iwagakure shinobi(Earth), after drinking the water, he noticed that itachi had weapons, hence tried to kill him.
But, luckily his father Fugaku Uchiha arrives in time and saves him by killing the Iwagakure shinobi.
This incident had a huge impact on Itachi. He was traumatized and hated war. Furthermore, he met Orochimaru after the war was concluded who told him that Life without eternity is meaningless.
Itachi and Shisui – The Eternal Friendship
Itachi and shisui
At the age of 5, he became friends with Shisui Uchiha who was another genius in Konoha. Shisui taught Itachi a great deal about life and how a shinobi should live his life.
As Itachi was able to use both the Kage-bunshin jutsu and the fireball jutsu, he graduated the academy at the tender age of 7!
Yes, he became a genin at the age of 7 ( Naruto was 13 when he became genin).
He activated his Sharingan at the age of 8 after he witnessed the killing of his teammate Tenma Izumo by a Masked man. He became a chunin by the age of 10, then went on to be an ANBU captain at the age of 13. That’s Itachi Uchiha for you!
You may want to explain Danzo’s actions a little bit more because as they are now they make it look like he did everything for no reason.
I️ bet Danzo was the one who made Itachi do it don’t believe be read Itachis story
He was ordered t by Danzo to kill the whole clan. There is no fault of Itachi in this whatsoever He averted a civil war single handedly like a boss.
Salute! RESPECT
Couldn’t agree more!
i’m really amaze while reading the article, so much hard work. it’s explain everything !
So glad I was able to help
This is sad!! I called him a villain at the start and now I feel guilty
I know right! I hated him and called him a bastard at the start of the series but look where we are know.
The Uchihas wanted to start a coup because they felt mistreated by Konoha as a whole.
They were given a small positions to fill (the Konohagakure Police Force), they were forced into a corner and sectioned off from the rest of the community.The people in power obviously had very little trust in them. The Uchiha were looking to overthrow the the geezers,Third Hokage, Danzo, and any other advisers, and instate themselves as the leaders. Even though the Third was pretty chill towards the Uchiha, he couldn’t do much for them without them growing a bit crazy with power. Also he had Danzo barking in his ear with some real hatred of the Uchiha.
You can’t say that they were planning a coup to protect themselves from Genocide, because they were planning some risky business that would have serious repercussions should they be caught. They were, so the village took it into their own hands to put down the threat.
Please, please don’t call Itachi a hypocrite. He was looking at the big picture and long term effects on Konoha, “How can I make this fucked up world better?” Killing his family was an interim solution to setting Konoha on a path towards peace.
Konoha upper leadership, exemplified by Danzo, is full of treacherous, vile, sociopaths willing to do anything for power (exactly like all the other villages). Anbu leadership brainwashed Itachi into thinking that killing his blood family was the only way to save “his village,” ie his comrades in anbu and the bastards they serve who would have likely died in the Konoha civil war. Itachi’s fall is basically a story about how Itachi got semi-forced into enlisting in Anbu then, through brainwashing and isolation, went native and was convinced to slaughter his entire clan (including the kids). Just because he can’t face up to being used by Danzo even after his death, don’t think what he did was noble. Also, don’t think for a moment that Sasuke was the only kid in the Uchiha clan; they just died off-screen. You can’t tell me THEY were in on the plot too.
This shit is pretty fucked up
