Itachi Uchiha

Who is he

Itachi Uchiha — the renegade Shinobi, a former member of the Anbu, was the genius of the Uchiha clan from the Hidden Leaf. In his youth, Itachi became an international criminal, destroying his entire clan, leaving only his younger brother Sasuke alive. Subsequently, Itachi joined an international criminal organization, Akatsuki, whose activities sometimes led him into conflicts with Leaf's ninjas, including Sasuke, seeking revenge for his clan. After Itachi's death, it turned out that his motives were much more complicated than it initially seemed — he believed that all his actions were aimed at the benefit of Sasuke and Konoha, and he remained loyal to the Hidden Leaf until the very end.

Appearance

Like all members of the Uchiha clan, Itachi has dark eyes. Under the eyes, stripes radiate from the eyebrows to the cheeks, outwardly resembling the nasolabial furrows that he inherited from his father (although their true origin is unknown). Long black hair reaches the middle of the cheeks in front, and is tied back in a ponytail with a red elastic band; Itachi has been growing his ponytail and bangs for a long time. Itachi has a slim build and is 1.78 m. According to Naruto, Itachi is very similar to Sasuke.In the Akatsuki organization, Itachi wore a special uniform — a black cloak with a black collar and a pattern of red clouds, as well as a protector with a crossed-out Konoha sign, which symbolized the breaking of his ties with the village. The high collar of his cloak hid his tail. Sometimes Itachi would unbutton the top of his raincoat and release his left arm from the sleeve, hanging it in the neckline. Under the raincoat, he wore a mesh T-shirt, over which he wore a dark blue long T-shirt with a white belt at the waist, and dark blue pants. Her feet were shod in light blue sandals. Itachi wore a red ring on his right ring finger. The nails were painted purple, and Itachi wore an unusual chain with three rings around his neck.

Personality

From an early age, Itachi was a quiet and perceptive child and showed extraordinary maturity for his age, as well as knowledge of how to act in any circumstances. At the same time, Itachi sometimes showed the naivety inherent in children in many everyday situations, so he willingly studied with his peers. Itachi lived at a distance from others, observing people and evaluating various ideas, trying to fully understand them and not taking anything for granted. Because of his isolation, Itachi rarely got close to anyone, but this approach allowed him to think and act without prejudice, as well as evaluate things with an open mind. In the anime, Itachi unintentionally gained a lot of friends and fans due to his sincere concern for others, even despite his manner of staying away. Itachi thought a lot about the nature of Shinobi, as well as about his native village, its origin and future. In particular, this is why he did not acquire arrogance because of his abilities and achievements, and did not adjust his views to emotions or the desire for personal gain. Also for this reason, he never shared the fanatical obsession with his clan and the pride of belonging to it, which was a common feature of many Uchiha; although Itachi loved his family and wanted the best for her, he understood that there are things much more important than the aspirations of the clan.

Personality

Although Itachi was a pacifist by nature, he understood that his own needs and feelings should take a back seat to more important things; with these beliefs, he becomes a Shinobi. Itachi trained himself to exhaustion in order to reach a higher level as quickly as possible, and never complained about the difficulties in Shinobi's life, motivated by a simple desire to be useful to others. His commitment to training bordered on recklessness, so, during solo training, he used methods involving deadly risks, such as machine guns with many kunai, which had to be dodged. Thanks to his ninja experience, Itachi approached his problems with much less cruelty than anyone else, which satisfied his peacefulness. It was these traits of his character that caused the conflict before the Massacre of the Uchiha Clan: he did not want to hurt his family and tried to find a peaceful solution to the issue, but at the same time he understood that the least bloody outcome would be the extermination of the entire clan. As soon as he makes this decision, his usually calm relationship with the clan members becomes more strained, he openly declares his dissatisfaction, criticizing them for decisions that predetermined both their and his fate. Despite all the pain that Itachi felt when killing the clan, he still did not blame Konoha's leadership, which entrusted him with this task; although he did not trust Danzo personally, Itachi understood that his interests were directed only to the welfare of Konoha. But Itachi, partly because of the need to join the Akatsuki, changes a lot after the destruction of the clan and shows almost no emotion. Itachi begins to use brute force more often to achieve goals and allows his partner, Kisame, to use violence, arguing that this must be done in order to achieve Akatsuki's goals. But Itachi still has not completely suppressed his peaceful nature, which is why in some situations he tries to curb Kisame if the collateral damage.

Personality

Protecting Konoha was always Itachi's first priority, but Sasuke's well-being was no less important to him. Since Sasuke was born, Itachi has been looking out for him and watching him grow up. They spent whole days walking together in the forests of Konoha and carried out meaningless missions on their own. When Itachi began to become an experienced ninja and attracted the main attention of his father, he sometimes still resisted his wishes in favor of Sasuke and spent this time on his younger brother, thus making him happier. Sasuke, wanting to be like his older brother, often asked him to train with him in the art of ninja. But Itachi almost never trained with him, but only flicked him on the forehead and promised that they would practice next time. Unfortunately, he never kept those promises.

Personality

It was for the sake of Sasuke's safety that Itachi finally decided to completely destroy the clan, believing that this burden was worth it if it guaranteed his brother's survival. But even though he did it for him, Itachi wanted to be punished for what he had done, so he decided to turn Sasuke against himself by choosing him as an avenger. To push Sasuke down this path, Itachi hid the true reason for his actions and put on the mask of a man who had never loved his brother. Behind this mask, he told him that all this time he had been taking care of him only because of his eyes, with which he would be able to achieve the Eternal Mangekye Sharingan. His entry into Akatsuki was only meant to confirm his reputation, and also at every meeting with Sasuke years later, he mocked his weakness and encouraged him to become strong enough to kill him. The essence of his plan was that after his death, Sasuke would be known as a hero. Itachi never wanted Sasuke to find out the truth of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, and hoped that the memory of his hated older brother would make him disbelieve her.

Past

Itachi is the first son of the head of one of the most powerful clans, the Uchiha clan. He was the most talented Shinobi of the hidden Leaf village. At the age of seven, he thought like a Hokage (village leader) and was very successful in his studies and in battle. Itachi was a genius in combat. When he graduated from the Ninja Academy as a child, he became a chuunin early and then became a member of the special Hokage squad, Anbu. He has a younger brother Sasuke, whom he cares very much about, but always gave him little time and attention, which is why his brother was constantly offended by him, and Itachi said "Sorry, Sasuke, another time" every time. He had a best friend, Shisui, who is 8 years older than him. Itachi learned a lot from Shisui and Shisui was like an older brother to him. But then a conflict with the Hokage began to develop in the clan due to the infringement of the Uchiha clan and everyone was preparing for a riot. Itachi was caught between two fires: his family and his beloved village. He reported everything to the village elders and was offered a choice between the village and his clan. He chose the village so that the war would not start later, because the fragile world could collapse because of such a riot. Itachi made a condition to Danzo, the man who put him in front of a choice, that Itachi would cut out the entire clan, except for his younger brother, and he agreed. Itachi had to kill all his friends from the clan in one night when ge was 13, but he was not alone. He was helped by a masked man, who then called him into the Akatsuki organization, which was beyond the reach of villages and consisted of renegade ninjas. Itachi left his village, sacrificing his parents, the psychological health of his younger brother and his entire clan. For Sasuke, Itachi remained a traitor until Itachi's death, because his older brother tried his best to hide the truth about himself from Sasuke so that he would not hate the village because of him.
