Itachi Uchiha [1][2][3][4] edit

Itachi Uchiha (ֲ‫ثة؎כ׍‬, Uchiha Itachi) was a prodigy of Konohagakure's Uchiha clan. He became an international
criminal after murdering his entire clan, sparing only his younger brother, Sasuke. He afterwards joined the
international criminal organisation known as Akatsuki, whose activity brought him into frequent conflict with Konoha
and its ninja ̶ including Sasuke ̶ who sought to avenge their clan. Following his death, Itachi's motives were
revealed to be more complicated than they seemed and that his actions were only ever in the interest of his brother
and village, remaining a loyal shinobi of Konohagakure to the very end.

composure and attacked them, defeating them easily.[17] A rift was created between Itachi and his family, and his
warnings to them to reconsider what they were doing fell on deaf ears. By age 13, he was promoted to Anbu captain.[18]

Although the Third Hokage still wished to negotiate with the Uchiha, Danzō Shimura recognised that there was no longer an outcome that could see the Uchiha clan's
survival. He explained this to Itachi and left him a choice: support the Uchiha's coup and have the whole clan, including Sasuke, killed in the ensuing conflict, or accept
the assignment to wipe out the clan before the coup started and be allowed to spare Sasuke. Itachi chose his brother.[19] While making final preparations, Itachi
discovered a masked man sneaking around Konoha. From observing him, he came to believe the man was truly Madara Uchiha bent on provoking some new conflict.
Itachi approached him with an offer: he would assist "Madara" with wiping out the Uchiha, taking vengeance against them for abandoning him decades earlier, if
Madara would spare the village, to which he agreed.[20]

In one night Itachi and Tobi slaughtered the entire clan. Itachi took it upon himself to personally execute his parents. Despite his
betrayal, they bore him no ill-will, instead telling him in the moments before they were killed that they were proud of him and
requesting that he take care of Sasuke.[21] Racked by grief for his actions, Itachi saw in Sasuke the only person suitable to punish him
for his crimes. In order to set Sasuke on this road he cast himself as the villain, done by allowing Sasuke to find him standing over their
parents' bodies and using Tsukuyomi to torment him with visions of their murders. Sasuke fled, fearing his own death, but Itachi

the only remaining challenge to him, the little brother he'd never loved. He encouraged Sasuke to become strong enough to kill him
and take revenge, and to that end suggested he acquire a Mangekyō Sharingan of his own. Itachi left, but was surprised to find Sasuke
already pursuing him with a newly-awakened Sharingan. Sasuke's attempt at vengeance failed and he passed out, but not before seeing Itachi cry with remorse.[22]

Afterwards, he disguised a crow clone as a member of Root to threaten Danzō he would leak Konoha's secrets to enemy villages if he touched Sasuke, having realised
Danzō could not be trusted to keep his promises. For his final business in the village, Itachi visited the Third Hokage and reported his mission completed, much to the
Third's surprise and disappointment. Itachi requested that the Third look after Sasuke, which the Third vowed to do.[23] Itachi left the village publicly a traitor but
secretly with a new mission: to infiltrate Tobi's organisation, Akatsuki, and keep it from moving against Konoha.[24] In the anime, at some point after joining Akatsuki,
he was initially partnered up with Jūzō Biwa.[25] While growing accustomed to his new setting and working well with his partner, the duo was eventually given a
mission in the Land of Water. After completing it, they were ambushed by a hunter-nin squad led by Yagura. While initially pressed by the perfect jinchūriki, Itachi was
able to defeat him with Amaterasu, but not before Jūzō was slain.[5]

Orochimaru.
Some time later, Orochimaru tried to steal Itachi's body in order to gain the Sharingan, but Itachi easily deflected him and severed his
left hand, forcing him to leave the organisation.[26] Later, Itachi was partnered with Kisame Hoshigaki, with whom he bonded over
their shared notoriety for killing their own countrymen.[27] To find a replacement for Orochimaru, Itachi helped recruit Deidara, whose
art he defeated with his Sharingan's genjutsu; Deidara would forever after swear vengeance for the humiliating defeat.[28] In the
anime, Itachi also aided in the recruitment of Hidan. Pain eventually caught wind of Orochimaru's attempt to destroy Konoha and
requested a team to investigate, which Itachi immediately volunteered out of concern for Sasuke's safety.[29]
At some point, Itachi contracted a terminal illness. He kept himself alive through the years with medicine and sheer willpower so that
he could live long enough to die by Sasuke's hand.[30]

Personality
From a young age, Itachi was quiet and insightful, showing noticeable maturity for his age and knowledge on how to deal with every situation. At the same time,
Itachi was still fairly naïve as a child in many real-world scenarios and as such was willing to learn from his peers on how to differentiate situations.[31] He lived at a
distance, observing individuals and ideas without getting directly involved so that he could fully understand them.[32] Although this approach prevented him from
becoming close with many people, it enabled him to think and act without prejudice or preconceptions, instead evaluating things strictly on their own merits. In the
anime, Itachi unintentionally gained many friends and admirers for his genuine concern for others despite his passive nature.[9] He would think about shinobi and
origins of the village and its future.[11] For this reason, he never became arrogant about his own abilities or accomplishments; to which, most views or statements he
made were usually well-based, seeing the situation for what it was. From this he had no self-righteous loyalty to his clan that was so common among the Uchiha;
though he loved his family and wanted the best for them, he knew there were more important things than the Uchiha's personal aspirations.

Despite being a pacifist by nature, Itachi felt his own needs were secondary to the greater good's; to that end he became a shinobi. He
trained tirelessly to improve himself as quickly as he could and subjected himself to all of the shinobi life's inconveniences without
complaint for the simple motivation of being useful to others. His commitment borderlined recklessness, due to training privately using
extremely deadly methods such as dodging a barrage of kunai in the anime. Being so accomplished as a ninja enabled Itachi to
approach problems less violently than others would, satisfying his peace-loving nature. These two extremes of his personality came
into conflict as events moved toward the Uchiha Clan Downfall; he did not want to harm his family and sought a peaceful resolution,
but knew that the path with the least bloodshed would be the clan's extermination. When the Uchiha Clan refused to deter from their
current plans, Itachi was pushed over the edge and his normally polite attitude to his clansmen became more violent, criticising them

parents.

Despite the traumas he endured from killing his own family, Itachi did not blame those among Konoha's leadership who gave him the
mission; though he did not trust Danzō on a personal level, he knew Danzō only had the village's best interests at heart. But Itachi – partly out of the necessity of his
assignment to join Akatsuki – was greatly changed after the massacre, rarely if ever showing emotion. He became more prone to displays of force and permitted
certain violent habits of his partner, Kisame, under the pretence that it furthered Akatsuki's goals.[33] Itachi could not and would not fully shake his pacifistic ways,
and would run from confrontation or rein in Kisame if the likelihood of collateral damage became too high for themselves or others. While Kisame would sometimes
protest, he considered Itachi a good friend and would listen to his instructions. Itachi also had a decent partnership with his previous partner Jūzō, showing respect to
him and after his death, placing the remains of Kubikiribōchō in Jūzō's hand.

Konoha's protection was always forefront in Itachi's mind,[34] but it was his dedication to his brother, Sasuke, that took priority in every
situation. From the time of Sasuke's infancy, Itachi tasked himself with looking after him. In the anime, Itachi even correctly guessed
Sasuke's gender before his younger brother's birth.[7] They'd spend whole days together in the woods around Konoha having
adventures and accomplishing self-appointed missions. When Itachi became an accomplished ninja and took much of their father's
attention, Itachi would make special time to fill their father's shoes for Sasuke's benefit, at times even refusing his father's wishes in
order to make Sasuke happy. In turn Sasuke wished to be just like his older brother and would often ask Itachi to train him in the ninja

forehead. arts. Itachi would almost never do so, poking his forehead and promising to train him some other time. Unfortunately, none of these
promises were ever kept.[35]

It was Sasuke's safety that ultimately convinced Itachi to go through with killing the rest of the Uchiha,
believing his own damnation was worth it if it ensured Sasuke's survival. Even though he did it for Sasuke, Itachi wanted to be
punished for his crimes and selected Sasuke as the one to take vengeance against him. To push Sasuke in this direction, Itachi withheld
the true reason for his actions and instead took on the persona of a man who had no love for his younger brother. Per the persona,
Itachi cared about Sasuke only because of the eyes that he could take to gain Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. His actions in Akatsuki
were meant to reinforce this persona, and whenever he met Sasuke over the years he would taunt his weakness and encourage him to Itachi shedding tears as he

get strong enough to kill him. His plan was that, once he had been killed, Sasuke would be hailed as a hero. Itachi never wanted
Sasuke to learn the truth surrounding the Uchiha's massacre, and if he did he hoped the memory of a hateful older brother would
cause him to not believe it.

After he died and was reincarnated, Itachi discovers that his plans largely failed; Sasuke is not a hero, he did find out the truth about what Itachi did, and now he aims
to destroy Konoha. Naruto Uzumaki points out to Itachi the flaw in his plans: he had been trying to manipulate Sasuke rather than be honest with him and trust in his
own strength.[36] Acknowledging the mistake, Itachi is free to be himself instead of the persona he fabricated, being openly kind to others and displaying a dry sense
of humour even in stressful situations.[37] He is finally open with Sasuke when they meet again, admitting what he did and even sharing information Sasuke did not
already know. He apologises to Sasuke for failing in his responsibilities as an older brother, wondering if being up front with Sasuke from the beginning might have
allowed them to avoid the Uchiha's destruction. In their final moments together, Itachi tells Sasuke he does not need forgiveness and that he will always love him no
matter what.[38]

Appearance
Itachi had onyx eyes under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs. He had jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with
centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin; the ponytail and bangs grew longer over the years. His overall appearance is very similar to Sasuke's.[39][40] Even
more, like his brother, he was considered very handsome as many girls became infatuated with him.[9] When he lived in Konoha, his casual clothes consisted of a
black shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back, bandages around his ankles, and black sandals. He wore tan pants with a weapons pouch strapped to his back.
When on duty, he would wear the standard Anbu uniform complete with arm guards, a flak jacket, and a porcelain mask which was fashioned to resemble a weasel
with a red, triangular marking on top.[41]

As a member of Akatsuki, he wore the standard Akatsuki cloak and a slashed Konoha forehead protector to symbolise his broken ties with the village. The cloak's high
 collar would obscure his ponytail. He would sometimes unbutton his cloak to mid-chest and rest his left arm there, rather than in the
sleeve. Under his cloak he wore clothes similar to the rest of Akatsuki: mesh armour with navy accents under an identical T-shirt with a
simple white belt around the waist and dark blue pants. On his right ring finger was his Akatsuki ring, which was red and bore the kanji
for "vermilion" (劫, shu). He wore purple nail polish on his fingers and toes and a necklace that had three silver rings with red gems
inside them.

Abilities
Even within the Uchiha clan, Itachi was a ninja of prodigious talent, consistently showing prowess well-
beyond his years and rising rapidly through the ninja ranks. He was highly proficient in all three main
ninja skill sets and gained praise from allies and foes alike; Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, openly
admitted Itachi was stronger than he was.[42] Obito claimed that despite being crippled by illness, Itachi
was still capable of killing Sasuke during their battle if he wanted to.[43] A pacifist at heart, Itachi did not

quickly as possible, all the while holding himself back. Even when restrained in this way, multiple jōnin
were still pushed to their limits against Itachi.[18] In the anime, he could defeat a perfect jinchūriki Kage
in Yagura with Jūzō's aid.[5]

Chakra and Physical Prowess

As an Uchiha, Itachi's chakra was naturally strong, but his actual reserves became very low, exacerbated from his terminal illness. This
prevented him from participating in prolonged battles and limited his use of Mangekyō Sharingan techniques to three times a day before
Itachi's Akatsuki attire. he needed significant rest, at which point even his Sharingan deactivated. Compensating for this limitation somewhat, Itachi had very
refined chakra control, able to perform his techniques with one-handed seals.[44]

Although rarely involving himself in such combat, Itachi was very skilled with taijutsu – enough to easily defeat three members of the
Konoha Military Police Force at the age of eleven.[45] He had impressive speed and reflexes, particularly with his hand movements. This
extended to both throwing weapons and hand seals, making it appear as if he could perform his techniques without seals; even skilled
Sharingan users had difficulty keeping track of him.[46][47] His speed allowed him to attack first in a battle, then immediately move to

Ninjutsu
Itachi could summon crows, which he would typically call forth in flocks to swarm opponents and distract them. He even integrated
crows into clones of himself that would draw opponents' attacks. He was likewise able to create shadow clones and from which could
lure in opponents before exploding. Itachi was also well-versed in fūinjutsu, particularly those that would activate in the presence of a
specific person's Sharingan.[49][50] From his time in Anbu, Itachi became proficient in stealth, infiltration, and assassination.[5]

Bukijutsu
As a fully-trained Konoha Anbu, Itachi was skilled with a sword, which was his primary weapon during the Uchiha Clan Downfall. Like

targets, one of which was hidden in a blind spot, by accurately deflecting his projectile off another one to redirect both projectiles' path
in mid-air.[51] His throwing speed was unprecedented, enough to keep up with and therefore negate the advantages of the
Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation.[52] He was equally comfortable with kunai, able to use them to spar with opponents wielding swords. In the anime, he
learned advanced sleight-of-hand from Shisui to give his opponents even less time to react.[9]

Nature Transformation
Itachi's nature transformations included Fire, Water, Wind, Yin, and Yang Release.[4] As an Uchiha, he had a natural affinity for Fire
Release, mastering the clan's Great Fireball Technique at a very young age. He would often coat shuriken with fire to increase their
offensive capacities.[53] With Water Release, Itachi could perform the advanced Water Dragon Bullet Technique without an external
water source,[54] as well as shape existing water into tendrils to strike his opponents from behind.[55]

Technique.

Genjutsu
Consistent with his pacifist nature, Itachi specialised in genjutsu typically performed with his Sharingan. His illusions often involved crows and could be initiated after
only the briefest moment of eye contact. They were so seamless that even targets that knew to expect genjutsu might not immediately realise that they'd fallen prey
to him. If opponents tried to avoid eye contact in fear of his Sharingan, Itachi could instead cast genjutsu by merely pointing at them. Itachi could also use genjutsu to
share information or psychologically disable opponents, allowing him to end fights before they even began. Against other genjutsu users, he could turn their genjutsu
against them.[56] Ao noted that Itachi was the only person who could use his genjutsu to control other individuals outside the range of
even the Sensor Division.[57]

Dōjutsu

Sharingan
Itachi awakened and mastered the Sharingan by the age of eight,[58] demonstrating skill and power
superior to most members of his clan.[59] In the anime, his prowess and exploits with it earned him Itachi using Tsukuyomi on
great fame as "Itachi of the Sharingan" (ⱖ鰵滙‫ثة؎ך‬, Sharingan no Itachi).[5] He keeps his Kakashi.

a counterpart to the more dangerous Izanagi.[60]

Mangekyō Sharingan
Itachi awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after the suicide of Shisui Uchiha. Its design was three spiralling curves around the pupil.
With his left eye, he could use Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu that trapped opponents' minds in an illusory world, altering their perception of
time to make seconds of torture seem like days.[61] With his right eye he could use Amaterasu, igniting whatever he looked at with
black flames that would burn anything, including fire itself. He had the ability to extinguish Amaterasu, but never displayed the sort of
shape transformation that Sasuke later would.
Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Having awakened the Mangekyō in both his eyes, Itachi could also use Susanoo. With its simplest
manifestations, he could produce extra arms or bones to improve his options in a fight. When used in
full, Itachi was surrounded by a spectral warrior that would protect him from all damage, even jutsu as powerful as Kirin.[62] In
addition to the chakra swords and Yasaka Magatama common to all Susanoo, Itachi's Susanoo wielded the Sword of Totsuka – an
ethereal sword with the ability to seal any person it pierced into its gourd̶hilt – and the Yata Mirror – a shield that was said to reflect
Itachi's armoured Susanoo any attack by changing its chakra nature to counterbalance an attack. The simultaneous use of both weapons made Itachi's Susanoo

essentially invincible.[63]

Using any of these techniques required vast amounts of chakra to perform and left Itachi so fatigued afterwards that he had to
deactivate his Sharingan altogether. Every time he used his Mangekyō Sharingan his eyesight deteriorated, a process that would progressively worsen on each
occasion. Early uses of the Mangekyō would only cause his eyes to bleed, but by the end of his life he reached the point where he was nearly blind, most things
looking to him like mere blurs.[64] He does not suffer these shortcomings after his reincarnation and can use all his Mangekyō techniques without problems.

Intelligence
Itachi was a highly intelligent individual, having the highest scores in the history of the Academy next to Minato Namikaze.[8] He was
solemn and observant; he thought very quickly and remained calm in a fight, enabling him to respond with maximum efficiency and
with the smallest likelihood of misjudging circumstances. If an opponent exceeded his expectations or posed a legitimate challenge to
him or his allies, Itachi would freely admit it.[65] Even at a young age, his studies of history gave him remarkable foresight and a cost-
benefit understanding on par with the Hokage;[11] he took several precautions for Sasuke and against Tobi that he planned would

destroyed, Itachi survives thanks to his Susanoo. With his Susanoo active, Itachi approaches Sasuke. Having used all his chakra to
perform Kirin, Sasuke activates his Cursed Seal of Heaven and out of desperation to defeat Itachi unleashes Orochimaru. Orochimaru
springs from Sasuke's body using the Eight Branches Technique and states his intentions to take finally take Sasuke's body for his own.
Itachi, having prolonged the battle in order to draw Orochimaru out, pierces him with Susanoo's Sword of Totsuka, sealing Orochimaru
away and removing Sasuke's cursed seal. Itachi sealing Orochimaru.

Itachi smiles to Sasuke before
dying.
Itachi resumes his approach, telling Sasuke his resolution to now take his eyes, and Sasuke makes futile
attempts to keep him away. Susanoo continues to protect Itachi, but it degrades as he labors near and Itachi starts coughing up blood.
When he finally reaches Sasuke, Itachi appears to grab for his eyes but instead only pokes his forehead. (The poke seals Amaterasu in
Sasuke's eyes, set to activate against Tobi's Sharingan in order to protect Sasuke from him.) In a similar manner to how he described
death to Kisame, Itachi died in a similar manner, unable to maintain his disguise he genuinely smiles to Sasuke and apologises to
Sasuke and says this is the end before succumbing to his disease and falling dead with a smile on his face.

In the anime, Kabuto Yakushi reincarnates Itachi to be used against Team 7. The summon fails almost immediately afterwards, causing Kabuto to wonder if the
Impure World Reincarnation was still incomplete.[68]

Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown

Main article: Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown

When the Fourth Shinobi World War looms, Kabuto approaches Tobi – who survived the implanted Amaterasu – offering to join forces. To that end he reincarnates
Itachi and four other dead members of Akatsuki as offerings for Tobi's war plans.

Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation

Main article: Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation

When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Itachi is mobilised with the rest of Kabuto's collection of reincarnated ninja. Itachi is paired
with Nagato, who he carries because of Nagato's damaged legs. They discuss Akastuki and how little they, particularly Nagato, actually
knew about the organisation; both were only pawns kept by Tobi because of their dōjutsu, and now they've been revived so Kabuto
can use them for the same reason.

Itachi and Nagato are found by Naruto and Killer B. Itachi learns several things as Kabuto forces him to fight them: Naruto's Nine-Tails Itachi and Nagato en route.
Chakra Mode indicates he's finally gained control of the Nine-Tails; B's use of Samehada is proof Kisame is dead; Naruto tells him that
Sasuke now works with Akatsuki to destroy Konoha due to having been told the truth of the Uchiha Clan Downfall by Tobi, much to
Itachi's horror and dismay. Itachi and Nagato continue attacking but give advice to Naruto and B about how to evade them. When he has an opening, Itachi calls out
the crow he planted in Naruto before his death and allows it to use its genjutsu on him, overriding Kabuto's control with its pre-programmed mission to protect
Konoha.

Itachi saves Naruto and B.
Now free to do as he wishes, Itachi joins Naruto and B against Nagato, using Amaterasu on him and his summons. Itachi continues to
eliminate Nagato's summons and also saves B and Naruto from being killed by Nagato himself. Nagato uses Chibaku Tensei to try and
restrain them, but the three join forces to destroy it. Itachi stabs Nagato with the Sword of Totsuka before the dust settles, sealing him
away and ending the battle. Itachi then decides to personally take care of Kabuto in order to end the Impure World Reincarnation.
Before leaving, he destroys the crow and Shisui's eye with Amaterasu so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands and entrusts Sasuke's
reform to Naruto.

Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax

Main article: Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax

Nagato had been able to locate Kabuto's location while they were together, and Itachi now moves on a direct course there. He
inadvertently crosses paths with Sasuke along the way. Feeling he is unworthy of Sasuke, Itachi tries to avoid him and his questions.
When Sasuke persists, Itachi admits that he made a mistake manipulating Sasuke along a path that he wanted, which has put Sasuke
in a worse position than he ever intended. As they near Kabuto's lair Itachi tries one last time to shake him, only to be disappointed
when Sasuke joins him shortly after he confronts Kabuto. Sasuke moves to kill Kabuto, but is blocked by Itachi, who explains that
Kabuto must be kept alive if the Impure World Reincarnation is to be broken. Sasuke offers to help on the condition that Itachi will Itachi and Sasuke join forces.

finally talk to him afterwards. Itachi agrees.

Kabuto obscures his vision to prevent being caught in a genjutsu and attacks. Itachi and Sasuke block with their Susanoo, only to find
that they have lost track of Kabuto. Itachi realises that Kabuto has achieved Sage Mode and quickly defends Sasuke before he can
come to harm in Kabuto's sneak attack. Itachi reminds Sasuke of a mission they went on as children to hunt a boar, which they reenact
with their Susanoo against Kabuto. Kabuto avoids them and commandeers Sasuke's sword, which he uses to attack Itachi. Itachi takes
the sword back from him and uses it to cut off the tip of one of Kabuto's horns.
Itachi attacks Kabuto. Kabuto tries to turn Sasuke against Itachi, pointing out all the lies and distrust Itachi has been showing Sasuke for years. Itachi admits
his faults, but promises to tell Sasuke something after he's performed his Izanami. Kabuto is confident that he cannot be defeated
since they can't kill him and because of the precautions he's taken to avoid genjutsu. He manipulates the cave to confine them and
uses DNA to perform a variety of other ninja's long-range jutsu, trying to create an opportunity to access Itachi's head and regain control of him. Sasuke becomes
increasingly earnest to kill Kabuto, but Itachi pleads for him to wait until Izanami is ready.

While Itachi and Sasuke deal with Kabuto's recreation of Orochimaru, Kabuto bisects Itachi. Itachi's reincarnated body regenerates and
he uses Sasuke's sword to cut off even more of the same horn as before. This creates a sensory loop independent of vision that traps
Kabuto in eternal battle; that is Izanami. Kabuto has the chance of escaping Izanami by accepting the fate he now tries to fight by
taking on others' powers, Itachi's gift to him because of their perceived similarities. He raises the brille that cover Kabuto's eyes and
uses a genjutsu to make Kabuto perform the hand seals that will end the Impure World Reincarnation.
Under Itachi's control, Kabuto
While Kabuto performs the hand seals, Sasuke tells Itachi that he won't forgive Konoha for coercing

wishes. Itachi listens without response. When he is engulfed in light and the Impure World
Reincarnation begins to break, he faces Sasuke and admits to everything Sasuke has been told about
him, even imparting some of his own memories to Sasuke to fully dispel the lies he's told. He reaches for Sasuke, seemingly meaning

tells Sasuke that he wants no forgiveness and promises that he will love Sasuke no matter what he decides to do. His reincarnated
body dissolves and his soul returns to the afterlife.

Legacy
By his own design, Itachi had a profound influence on Sasuke's life. His instructions on the night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall for Sasuke to gain power at any cost
caused Sasuke to isolate himself from other people and avoid companionship. When he realised that he was getting attached to the members of Team 7 and, from his
perspective, failing to get stronger because of them, he defected from Konoha and left to train under Orochimaru, propelling him along the path towards Itachi's
death. Following the brothers' battle, Itachi's plans start to fail due to the interference of Tobi: Tobi refocuses Sasuke's hatred that Itachi had engineered for himself to
be used against Konoha, turning Sasuke into a criminal against Itachi's intentions. Itachi is able to make amends with Sasuke upon his reincarnation, wiping his
prejudices clean and allowing him to start deciding things for himself.

Upon learning the entire truth about Itachi, Sasuke reverts to the great admiration he had for him when they were children and follows in his brother's footsteps. He
does not want to see Konoha, the village Itachi sacrificed so much for, destroyed and therefore works against Tobi and Madara to end the Fourth Shinobi World War.
[69] He also sees the reason in Itachi's decision to make difficult choices and be hated for them, and for that reason gives himself the task after the war is concluded to

become the world's darkness, using his power to force peace and unapologetically kill any that threaten it. Though this is again a great divergence from Itachi's plans,
another of Itachi's plans redeems him: Naruto, at Itachi's insistence, eventually convinces Sasuke of the errors he has made without killing him after their final battle.
In the war's aftermath, Sasuke adopts Itachi's habit of poking others' foreheads as a sign of affection, in particular his wife, Sakura Haruno, and their daughter,
Sarada. He also had a habit of neglecting his daughter in favour of his duties of protecting the village and her, although he realises this mistake later on and chose to
spend time with his family before continuing his mission. Sasuke would continue to protect the village for many years to come ̶ ultimately causing Itachi's wishes for
his brother to finally be realised.

Itachi's influence would extend beyond Sasuke: Danzō Shimura, despite his difference of opinions with Itachi, believed him an unsung hero of Konoha who worked
selflessly for the village's good; the five Kage, despite not knowing about Itachi's involvement, hailed him as the world's saviour for ending the Impure World
Reincarnation;[70] Kabuto Yakushi remembered who he truly was as a result of Itachi's Izanami and, inspired by him, resuscitated Sasuke when he was on the verge
of death. Years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, a man named Shin becomes so fixated on Itachi that he tries to kill Sasuke in order to avenge Itachi's "murder".

In the anime, Hiruzen realised kind-hearted people should never be in the Anbu because of the nature of their missions. After the Uchiha Clan Downfall, Hiruzen was
determined not to do the same with Kakashi and chose to retire him as an Anbu and made him commandeer a team of genin in hopes it would help restore his light
and kindness and eliminate his darkness. Also, in the final moments of his reincarnation, Itachi used his Sharingan to transfer to Sasuke all his memories, knowledge,
and personal feelings to let his dear brother understand why he chose the path he took.[7]

Itachi had an influence on one of Orochimaru's experiment subjects, Shin. Shin became intrigued by the Uchiha clan, especially Itachi, and adopted the clan name and
customary garb for himself. It was because of his fascination of Itachi that Shin held a grudge against Sasuke for causing his older brother to die, and attempted to kill
him in revenge.

Itachi Uchiha heads downstairs into the kitchen of his former house at the Uchiha Compound in Konohagakure and proceeds to put on his Akatsuki outfit, along with
an Akatsuki-themed apron. After putting a tea kettle to boil and setting bread in a toaster, he grabs a carton of eggs from the fridge and attempts to cook one sunny-
side up, only to find his first attempt foiled by an errant piece of eggshell on the egg. Further attempts yield the same results, with various things going wrong with
the eggs, such as the yolk breaking, Itachi's sweat getting onto the eggs, and so on. Itachi even resorts to making a plate of scrambled eggs, although after a
moment of thought he dismisses the idea and starts again.

Creation and Conception

In Jin no Sho, Kishimoto revealed that Itachi was originally conceived (before the series began) as the leader of Konoha's Special Assassination and Tactical Squad,
dubbed the Itachi Squad (؎‫ثة‬꥘, Itachi-tai), which would have been a 70-man group divided into four teams, specialising in assassination and other illicit
operations. In Kishimoto's original rough sketch, Itachi wore a bandana-style forehead protector, a skin-tight t-shirt, gloves, a coat tied
around his waist, and had several scars including an x-shaped scar on his chin. Elements of this concept were later incorporated into
Danzō Shimura and the Anbu.

Trivia
The name "Itachi" means "weasel" (롱), while his family name "Uchiha" is another way of pronouncing
The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about
"uchiwa" (㔚䩎, paper fan), which is actually the Uchiha clan's symbol. Uchiwa can be used to fan
this topic:
flames, making the flame hotter ̶ referring to the fact that the Uchiha is a clan of Fire Release users.
Itachi Uchiha
Itachi consistently ranks highly in the Shōnen Jump popularity polls for the series, his highest to-date
position being fifth most popular character.
Itachi and Kisame made a brief cameo appearance in the Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival!, where they were standing in line to use the bathroom, along
with many other random characters.
Itachi's nickname "…of the Sharingan" (ⱖ鰵滙‫ך‬, Sharingan no…) is also held by Kakashi Hatake.
Studio Pierrot's Settei sheets of Itachi show that he was 130 cm as a genin, 148 cm when he joined the Anbu and 170 cm around the time of the Uchiha Clan
Downfall.
According to the databook(s):
Itachi's hobby was visiting traditional Japanese cafés.
Itachi wished to fight Sasuke.
Itachi's favourite foods were cabbage and onigiri with seaweed in it, while his least favourite was steak. Itachi was also very fond of sweets, dango being his
favourite.
Itachi had completed 340 official missions in total: 53 D-rank, 152 C-rank, 134 B-rank, 0 A-rank and 1 S-rank.
Itachi's favourite word was "peace" (䎂ㄤ, heiwa).

Itachi had always poked his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, in the forehead when they were younger, saying "Forgive me Sasuke… Again, next time" (չ鏩‫؟ׇ‬
‫؛أ‬‫➙׋ת‬䏝‫׌‬պ, "Yuruse Sasuke… Mata kondo da"). This is referred to very poignantly with Itachi's last words, as he pokes his brother's forehead again and
says, "Forgive me Sasuke… …It ends with this" (չ鏩‫؛أ؟ׇ‬ֿ‫ד׸‬剑䖓‫׌‬պ, "Yuruse Sasuke… …Kore de saigo da")
Itachi is tied with Jiraiya for having the highest stat total in the databooks.

Quotes
(To an infant Sasuke) "Don't cry, Sasuke. Your big brother is here to protect you, no matter what happens."[71]
(To Yashiro, Tekka, and Inabi) "You hold onto the organisation and your clan name. These things limit us and limit our capacities… These things deserve to be
shunned. It is foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know!"[72]
(To Sasuke) "There is no value in killing the likes of you… My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life…
Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me." (չ顜圫‫וז‬媷‫ׅ‬⣣⦼‫׮‬搀ְկ

(To Sasuke) "...People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true… that is how they define reality. But what does it mean to be correct or true?
Merely vague concepts… their reality may all be an illusion."[74]
(To Kisame) "Those who kill their own comrades are sure to die a terrible death."[75]
(To Kisame) "We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?"[76]
(To Naruto) "However strong you become, never seek to bear everything alone. If you do, failure is certain."
(To Naruto) "You don't become the Hokage to be acknowledged by everyone. The one who is acknowledged by everyone becomes the Hokage."
(About Konoha) "The village does have its dark side and its inconsistencies, but I'm still Konoha's Itachi Uchiha."[34]
(Last words to Sasuke after reincarnation) "If I had been open with you from the start… and looked you straight in the eyes and told you the truth, then I
wouldn't have had to stand before you, from above, as a failure, telling you all of this. So this time, I want to impart this truth to you… You don't even have to
 forgive me. And no matter what you do from here on out, know this… I will love you always."[77]
