Itachi was ordered by the Hokage to kill his entire clan because he thought the Uchiha clan was a major threat to him. But only Itachi, the Anbu captain that was also involved in some way, and the Hokage knew that. Itachi was going to kill the entire clan, but couldn't bring himself to kill Sasuke as well, because he had a strong bond with him. So Itachi told Sasuke to hate him and to feed off of it, so he could get stronger. Itachi also told Sasuke that if he wanted to get the Mangekyou Sharingan he must kill his best friend. So Itachi ran away, and it is said he cried as he ran. Itachi joined the Akatsuki and waited for the day that Sasuke would come and kill him. Madara later tells Sasuke, after he kills Itachi, that Itachi planned to give him his eyes.
the uchiha were planing a coup d'état on the leaf that is what madara predicted but the three elders planted itachi as a spy to keep the info on them Then itachi was received the mission to kill the entire uchiha clan. itachi kept sasuke alive not to measure his vessel it was because he just couldn't bring himself to kill his little brother.Then he went to the third hokage he told him if you lay one hand on sasuke ill kill you instantly then he left without a word. He was to be considered a traitor due to the assassination. Itachi wanted sasuke to kill him so he could be known to revive his clan but itachi didnt expect sasuke to join orochimaru which his plans were failed but sasuke still kills him then finds out the truth by madara
Okay. ===SPOILERS for Shippuden=== Toby is a guy with a spiral mask with only his right eye exposed. However, he is actually Uchiha Madara, who was the strongest Uchiha of his time and who fought the 1st Hokage at the Falls. He has the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, obtained by taking his brother's Mangekyo Sharingan. However, the reason why Itachi killed his clan is because his clan was going to have a military coup. As a 4-year-old, Itachi watched many ninja killed in the 3rd ninja war. So, he came to detest war. Were a clan so powerful as the Uchiha to rebel in Konohagakure, all of Konoha would be destabilized and another world war would begin to claim the land of Konoha. So, working as a double agent for the Hokage, Itachi was forced to kill his entire clan. However, he chose not to kill his younger brother whom he adored. Sasuke. Against his orders, he did not, and he begged the 3rd Hokage not to kill Sasuke. Itachi threatened Danzo as well. Itachi told Sasuke a lie so Sasuke would become stronger and would not be killed, and so Itachi left the future of the Uchiha clan to Sasuke.
because he found out that the hokage told uchiha itachi to kill his clan because the hokage thought that the uchiha clan wanted the power of the nine-tails and use it against him and one of the uchihas will become hokage.when a guy from that evil group told him or i cant remember if it was itachi that told him.
Yes Sasuke deos kill itachi also itachi would of won the battle but itachi let sasuke kill him,during the battle he kept coughing out blood because he has a disease, Itachi wanted to fight sauske in his weakeast state so sasuke could get his revenge and obtain Mangekyou Sharingan its odvious that itachi could wipe sauske with Amaterasu or Mangekyou but he didnt ,later on Madara/Tobi tells sauske why itachi killed the uchiha clan now sasuke is angry and wants to destroy the hidden leaf village because they were the one that told his brother to kill the clan BUT HE WILL HAVE TO GET PAST NARUTO
