If Kishi stuck to the version of villain Itachi we were introduced in the beginning- what do you think would be Itachi's reason to turn evil and kill the clan?
Itachi was always evil, wasn’t he? I don’t understand; what does he need to do to be called evil? I get Kishimoto’s masturbatory affair with Itachi, but the readers don’t have to get baited. I’m not even asking anyone to dislike his character. You can like any character you want. Even Danzo. I don’t hate Danzo as a character. He’s pretty well written, but I can’t say that he’s a good guy. What I don’t understand is that people say that Itachi’s a good boy. How? Why? When?
I made a detailed post here about him that covers your question in great detail:
https://dushman-e-jaan.tumblr.com/post/182529669248/do-you-think-that-itachi-was-a-racist-person
He killed children, tortured his own brother, killed his parents in cold-blood, and in the end, he was not even slightly remorseful:
Even after death, he’s set in his beliefs that the Uchiha could have been changed through Sasuke. He never says, even in his final farewell, that I needed to change. He knew everything about the clan’s segregation: they were re-located in Tobirama’s time and were continued to be pushed outside the village way before the Kyubi attack ever took place!
Tobirama literally uses the “othering technique” that Ian Haney-Lopez called the “dog whistle” when he calls Uchihas “The Cursed Clan”, “A Clan Affected by Evil”, and “Clan with a Curse of Hatred”.
Quotes from the article:
“Exclusion and dehumanization
The language being used by many national leaders not only activates people’s anxiety and fear around a perceived Other, but it also creates new processes of exclusion and dehumanization.”
“People don’t just figure out on their own that collectively they need to be afraid of another group. Leadership plays a critical role. Often people who have been living with one another for years are made to feel suddenly that those differences have become threatening.”
“The stories we tell and live, are not about facts but our values, fears, and hopes – all of which, to a certain degree, are malleable. Our narratives don’t just reflect them, they also shape them. While anxiety about change is natural, Othering is not. Othering is socially and culturally constructed.”
This is Exclusion and Dehumanization, and Itachi was fully complicit in this. Why would Itachi disrespect his clan in front of his father and others when he’s supposed to be undercover? Don’t you think it’s a foolish move? It’s that he firmly believes in everything he said.
He didn’t know that his parents had no hand in that conflict? Of course, he did! He was his father’s best son, and the clan’s best agent. He was invited to all of the secret meetings and took part in all of the clan’s secret missions. That’s why he was able to tell Sasuke about the secret meeting place before he left. Remember? He could’ve told the council that the clan never planned the attack. Why didn’t he?
Why didn’t he find it suspicious that Madara (he thought Obito was Madara) was willing to help him kill his whole clan? That alone proves that the Uchiha never took control of the tailed-beast! He knew Madara took control of it. He even told that to Sasuke. If Madara took control of Kurama, then how were the Uchiha responsible for it?
Why didn’t he see any red flags that Danzo stole Shusui’s eye when he tried to do something about the coup? I can go on endlessly here that Itachi isn’t a good person by any stretch of the imagination. He’s damnably evil!
He’s asking Sasuke to kill the Leaf’s weapon. Do people even know that Sasuke, under the influence of the cursed mark, actually did kill Naruto?
He aimed for Naruto’s heart, but Naruto re-directed the blow at the last second! And we know for a fact that Kurama can’t heal if the heart or its surrounding tissues that contain the chakra network are destroyed in any manner:
Even Kurama can’t heal this:
Naruto survived only ’cause of Tsunade’s talent; otherwise, he was done for here! So Itachi basically told his brother to kill a Jinchuriki? Sasuke didn’t know what Naruto was. So it’s not his fault, but Itachi did. Kurama’s the whole reason why this mess even escalated!
So he told his brother to commit High Treason, from which he wouldn’t have ever been pardoned as the seal’s designed to kill the tailed-beast, too? So Konoha loses nine-tails and the host had Sasuke been successful here? What were the chances for Sasuke’s survival after pulling a stunt like that? Zero!
What did Itachi do throughout the whole manga to make sure Sasuke didn’t kill Naruto, even if I put aside the fact that Itachi’s a hilarious dullard at the start of the manga? Nothing! He nearly killed Naruto at the hideout, too.
What did he do to prevent Orochimaru (towards whom Itachi pushed Sasuke himself) from overtaking Sasuke’s body? Nothing! Sasuke figured everything out all by himself.
Did he have any plans to save Sasuke if Orochimaru ever took it over? Nope.
His character’s just so … absurd. It reads like a parody of the concepts he’s supposed to represent. He reads like a caricature that’s a lampoon on heroism, a satire on pacifism, a parody on a loving brother! He makes no sense. It doesn’t matter what you change or ret-con, he’s still a nonsensical character and he’s still a complete moron! What I’m trying to say is that evil Itachi makes as much sense as the evil canon fool Itachi! Translation: no sense!
