he wanted to test his skills
Wrong! -Correction- Itachi was ordered by the Third Hokage to kill off his entire clan. He could not kill Sasuke though because he had to strong of a bond with him.
hah WRONG! BOTH OF YOU!! itachi was ordered by danzo, and the three elders idiots. And he couldn't kill his little brother, cause he loved him too much. Later on, itachi was too ashamed to tell anyone the truth behind it all. However, sasuke later finds out from madara after sasuke kills itachi.
The Uchiha Clan was weakening ever since they failed to take the seat of First Hokage.
It weakened even further with the departure of their leader, Madara Uchiha. The Uchiha Clan planned a coup d'état to try and regain power, with Sasuke's father, Fugaku Uchiha, as leader. The Hidden Leaf Village caught onto this plot and placed a spy in the Uchiha Clan. That spy was Sasuke's older brother, Itachi. He acted as a double agent, passing information onto the Uchiha to the Hidden Leaf Village. The Hokage's advisors ordered Itachi to kill the entire Uchiha clan to prevent the Uchiha coup d'état to become the cause of The Fourth Great Ninja War. What Itachi saw in the last Great Ninja War turned him into a pacifist, wanting to keep peace at all cost. Itachi had to decide between his own clan, or the Hidden Leaf Village? And so, Itachi made his decision. He ultimately chose the Hidden Leaf Village to keep peace. On the night Itachi was to annihilate the Uchiha clan, he encountered Madara Uchiha and made a deal with him if Itachi helped him wipe out the Uchiha clan, Madara would have to promise not to attack Konoha, which he accepted. Itachi carried out his mission. In one night, Itachi and Madara wiped out the Uchiha Clan, except for one person Itachi could not kill, his precious little brother. Itachi's little brother, Sasuke, came home one night to find everyone dead, with Itachi standing over the bodies of dead Uchiha. Itachi told Sasuke, that he was not worth killing, to set Sasuke on the path of revenge.
To become a criminal, to be known as the traitor who murdered his own clan, to trade his brother's love for hate, and honor for disgrace, that was all part of Itachi's mission from the Hidden Leaf Village. After his mission was completed, Itachi appealed to the Third Hokage, asking him to protect his precious little brother Sasuke. To Itachi, Sasuke meant more to him than the entire Hidden Leaf Village. He then became an Akatsuki, to "spy on the organization from the inside", and prevent Akatsuki from attacking the Hidden Leaf Village.
Itachi was ravaged by disease and illness, prolonging his life with medication. He had to battle and die in front of his little brother Sasuke, so that Sasuke would be known as the "hero" who avenged the Uchiha Clan.
Sasuke set down the path of revenge turning to Orochimaru for more power, and eventually absorbing Orochimaru. Sasuke fought Itachi at the Abandoned Uchiha Hideout. As Itachi was nearly blind and suffering from disease, and after a prolonged fight with Sasuke, he died of exhaustion and finally gave in to his disease. After Sasuke was treated of his injuries, he was told the truth of the Uchiha Clan Massacre and Itachi's life by Madara. Realizing that his brother always loved him, and that he himself had killed his loving older brother, Sasuke awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and vowed to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village for taking advantage of his brother.
The Konoha Council and Danzo were the ones who told Itachi to kill the Uchiha clan.
Itachi Uchiha part of the Uchiha clan also a member of the akatsuki
In short: born into the Uchiha clan, became friends with Itachi Uchiha, gained the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan, was assign to spy on Itachi by the clan when they where planing a coup and Itachi was acting strange, tried to stop the coup and got one of his eyes stolen by Danzo, gave his other eye to Itachi and killed himself.
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
This might be a spoiler, but Sasuke kills Danzo because him and the other elders around the third hokages. People ordered itachi to kill the uchiha clan. Itachi was only staying loyal to the leaf village, but he left Sasuke alive and told the hidden leaf to keep him safe.
The Konoha Council and Danzo were the ones who told Itachi to kill the Uchiha clan.
Itachi kills the clan cuz the uchiha clan was planning to go against konoha and they were trying to use itachi as there spy THIS IS THE f**** TRUTH
because shisui was spying on itachi for the uchiha clan because the uchiha clan new that itachi was working with the leaf to try to overthrow the uchiha clan plus to get the mongekyou sharingan (you must kill your closest friend to obtain the mongekyou sharingan)
yes, itachi killed all of his clan except sasuke and himself Actually Madara uchiha help itachi kill is whole clan except sasuke and himself. OneManga.com Read mangas they are more accurate then the show.
Akatsuki didn't killed the entire uchiha clan. itachi Uchiha did. But it was a mission. Since Itachi Uchiha needed to kill the entire uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha knew everything what has happened. Sasuke Uchiha (The little brother of Itachi Uchiha) Is one of the 3 survivor's. When Sasuke killed Itachi, Tobi (Madara uchiha) told Sasuke the truth about Itachi. Since then, Uchiha Sasuke want revenge on konoha.
Yes. They are all in the Uchiha clan.
Itachi Uchiha part of the Uchiha clan also a member of the akatsuki
Itachi seeked out madara to help kill his clansmen. this was an agreement so madara wouldn't attack the village if he help itachi kill the clan. itachi did kill uchiha shinsui and gained MS. it is proven and it has no evidence proving otherise. shinsui was the best uchiha next to itachi. the clan knew itachi to be a prodigy but did not know the extent of his power. this can be noted when 3 police officer came to question him about shinsui death and he took them out in 2 or 3 seconds. this is full 3 tome sharingan users. itachi abilities was unrivaled because he killed the best of his clan without a scratch. there was no visible wounds on him the next day. which leads us to believe he is extremely powerful. this was then confirmed by the elder to pick itachi out of all his clan members to carry out the massacar. he was the only one talented and skilled enough to do it. madara couldt kill the entire clan by himself and neither could itachi but together they could. remember this is the uchiha clan. the most formidable and known as a battle clan even a genius was just ordinary before them.
Uchiha Madara was a highly skilled ninja who lived years previously. He helped lead the Uchiha clan and was one of the founders of Konoha. He also trained Itachi. Madara helped Itachi with the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
Danzo and the Konoha Council ordered him to wipe out the Uchiha Clan, who were planning a coup d'etat against Konoha. He made a deal with Madara Uchiha, who would spare Konoha if Itachi would help him wipe out the Uchiha Clan, who had betrayed Madara earlier. Madara agreed and the two wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan in one night. (With the exception of themselves and Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi's younger brother due to the fact that Itachi could not bring himself to kill his little brother.)
no itachi was ordered by the hokage to kill the uchiha clan but he could not kill his little brother but he beg the hokage to let sasuke live liar itachi would feel guilty of wiping out a whole clan
It is the hidden leaf village elders who ordered the murder of the uchiha clan, and sent itachi to do it. however Sasuke is not upset because his clan was slaughtered by itachi, but because after ordering itachi to kill the uchihas, the hidden leaf village elders forced itachi to become an outlaw. Sasuke (after learning itachi's true past from madara uchiha) is angry at the leaf village's mistreatment and rejection of his (newly) beloved brother.
