Uchiha Itachi (Part 1)

(Disclaimer: I'm Sorry....It's almost been a year..... since I've posted...so with great humbleness and a new lease on my time and life..... I shall begin again..... Fresh....)

Now then.... I'm going to begin the long haul that is my take on Uchiha Itachi and theoretically tying together piece by piece the awesomeness that is the Uchiha plot and how it relates to the bigger picture....

(note: I will back it all up with Manga pics and release it in sections with this being Part 1)

First let us begin with a summary......I'm a bit rusty so bear with me....

In the beginning Itachi was theorized to be the main culprit in the Uchiha massacre. He supposedly betrayed the clan, killed his parents, and went rogue leaving behind his little brother Sasuke to curse and hate him etc.....

We first get to see a glimpse of Itachi when Oro mentions him to Sasuke and Sasuke flips and has a flashback.....and when thinking about it....it's really ironic that Oro and Sasuke's first meeting... Itachi was brought up....and the Cursed Seal was inflicted against Sasuke. Which starts the beginning of the triangle of Sasuke, Itachi, and Orochimaru.

As the story progresses.....Itachi finally makes a full fledged appearance garnering the robes of Akatsuki with Kisame......He and Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi, and Gai all come face to face.... Through this encounter we start to learn a few things if we just observe the fight...

1. Itachi ended the conflict quickly via the Mangekyo Sharingan Tsukiyomi

2. Itachi didn't kill Kakashi even thought it would've been child's play to do so

3. Itachi avoided any further conflict that would attract other shinobi

Now then.....After that little display of bada$$ery, Itachi then became locked in the fandom of the Naruto series.....as an exciting character and looming threat.....Now skipping past where he Tsukiyomi'd Sasuke at the Inn and Amaterasu'd his way out of Jiraiya's frog stomach summoning....we move on to the meat and potatoes of it.....and that's Sasuke's flashback of that fateful night of the Uchiha Massacre..... as seen in Part 1 of Naruto at the Valley of the End.

Kishimoto sets up the stage showing a display of Itachi's prowess as a boy and Sasuke's admiration of him and Sasuke's early signs of his eagerness to mimic and to surpass him......as time goes by Itachi is hailed by his Father Fugaku and is admitted into the Hokage controlled ANBU. Then stuff starts to roll downhill from there. (I'll come back to that scene with Itachi and Fugaku talking about the secret mission. etc in regards to Madara's story..in Part 2)

Now suspicions of Itachi grow. Well ALL know.... about what happened at the Nakano River that was described to us the first go around. Uchiha Shisui was apparently missed at the meeting along with Itachi....thus the Uchiha Police force grew extremely suspicious of Itachi. Then a provoked Itachi angered at the accusation attacked the three and revealed a glimpse of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

I'll double check. I just realized the point of the Uchiha Police force. I theorize that the Uchiha were not allowed to join in with the higher entities of the Hokage controlled forces. Which is why Itachi getting into the ANBU controlled by the Hokage was HUGE.....because he was the only Uchiha who had gained the trust and ability to link the Uchiha back the Hokage controlled village. As opposed the Uchiha police force. Politically his position was crucial. However, (and I'll get into this later) Madara's explanation was a twist on this reason. Simply put Madara states that Itachi was a Double Agent. Well what if Itachi was not exactly a Double Agent but a link to mend the bond between the Uchiha and the Hokage. (I'll get into that in more detail in part 2.

I'll end Part 1 here because "That Night" I will go into great detail and then pull together Itachi in Shippuuden as I sort through the comparisons between Itachi's story, Madara's story, and how Danzou and Naruto factor in.

Naruto Chapter 453: The Night Before The Five Kages Meet!..

Naruto Chapter 453: The Night Before The Five Kages Meet!....

(sidenote:  What a Epic Title)

(Preface:  Thanks for reading in Advance...!!!)

YES YES YES YES YES.....and did I say YES.......This Next coming up Arc I feel is going to be one of the biggest if not the Most exciting Arcs we've seen in a Long Time........The Potential here is Amazing.... (As you can tell I'm very excited...!!! ) 

So then sit back and let me explain why I've become excited.....and how this chapter alone has revealed so much.....

1.  Naruto's feelings towards losing a Master and identifying with another Host (Hachibi) has now swayed him from pursuing Sasuke to Finding Killer Bee!!!

a.)  Kishi has finally showed us how he plans on letting Naruto leave the village, and to pursue the LAST Jinchuuruki (other than himself) who is not only a Teacher but also the MOST skilled Jinchuuruki at Resonating with his Bijuu......and it's the 8-tails!  This is HUGE since it implies that Naruto will eventually have another Power UP.....This Time this Power Up is going to finally deal with the Kyuubi issue......and I think other nice surprises (hint: Rai VS Kaze Tactics)

b.)  Naruto can make New Allies with the Thunder Crew and travel with them.  Granted if it's just Naruto and Team Samui it's interesting, but who knows it might be more.  I kinda hope Naruto either sneaks away with Sai's help to avoid Danzo and/or Naruto's political power over Konoha (since they view him as a hero) sways Danzo to let him do as he wishes for now.....but we'll see......The 3rd option is ..... Team Samui and Neo Team 7 (Naruto, Sakura, and Sai) head out together.....which might be the case.....since Sai can keep a close eye on Naruto and it justifies Danzo letting Naruto leave because Sai is with them........ 

Now you may ask why not Yamato....well Naruto ripped off his Necklace during the Pain Fight.....so......that might make Yamato near useless.....when it comes to restraining Kyuubi..(plus Mokuton is needed to rebuild the village even quicker thus he may be put on Recovery Duty since that is probably the most important priority to the village right now..)..and with Danzo being the Hokage then Sai (for political reasons) might be pushed to lead the team.  Since Yamato/Kakashi are loyal to Tsunade......

(However if you look at the Cover Page for the the "Fire and Thunder" double panel it shows Team Samui and Team 7 (Kakahsi, Sakura, and Naruto)  This could be the Surprise 4th option pairing for searching for Killer Bee...) 

Also with Naruto's Shodaime Necklace gone......Kishi even more so sets up the inevitable fact that Naruto must control Kyuubi on his OWN.....Thus this next Arc in Finding Killer Bee is Crucial before a Fight with Sasuke and/or Madara etc....

(Sidenote: Notice how long the Thunder Nin's Katanas are.........I assume that their length are an integral part that factor in Thunder/Lightning based attacks) 

2.  Madara/Tobi and Sasuke are butting heads.....granted Kishi's storytelling can get so confusing with Sasuke's plot.....but I digress....Sasuke is now going to seek out the 5 Kages and one might think to oneself.........a Possible Sasuke VS Gaara Rematch???... Maybe...Maybe Not.....Either way to see old characters with the chance to collide again really refreshes the story sooooo much....However Sasuke and Tobi/Madara's confrontation in this chapter reveals some things....

(Sidenote:  Not too mention for Sasuke and Kakashi to finally come face to face would be interesting to since they haven't seen each other since Shippuuden Started)

a.) Danzo just got Bumped down the Suspicions list of being Tobi/Madara= (T/M) and Thank GOD!! Simply because of the fact that Kishi allowed T/M to comment on the Hokage matter of Danzo being elected as a separate issue from himself.......to merely a contingency that was later confirmed...In other words T/M assumed Danzo would be made Hokage and since Danzo was made Hokage earlier before Zetsu told T/M it showed that he was unaware of this until NOW and thus him being Danzo is made even more improbable.....nay impossible I dare say...(I mainly point this out for newbies)

b.)  Sasuke being a prospect at Syncing with Gedo Mazo......AWESOME......and here's why...It sets up a Confrontation with Sasuke and Naruto.  If Sasuke becomes the new Summoner of Gedo Mazo (which holds the Bijuu) then it leads to the overwhelming conclusion to the Sasuke VS Naruto fight and possibly much much more......The Powers of Gedo Mazo are very Hidden and who knows if Sasuke becomes a Good Guy again after Naruto knocks some sense into him.... it might be another UNDO button for the Chaos that has transpired.... (Not too mention I think what Itachi gave Naruto is not only the Recollection of what really happened "THAT NIGHT" at the Uchiha Massacre, but also the build up to it via Itachi's memories, and also a portion of power to fend off Sasuke's MS...sidenote:  I'll go into that another day) ..... Also one more notable mention....You ever think the reason Tobi/Madara needs a "Pawn" to sync with Gedo Mazo is because Gedo Mazo in regards to Tobi/Madara's grand purpose with the Bijuu will KILL the user....well eventually....

c.)  "Moon's Eye Plan" Now read carefully because this is important......Y'know how we've been told that Kages stay.....within the Village because they are the last line of defense to protect it.....(sidenote:  All the Hokages have been INCREDIBLY STRONG....and yet Danzo seems to be feeble....lol.... His power has yet to be shown or revealed...so who knows..)  Anyways....If you look at the chapter title (The NIGHT BEFORE The Five Kages Meet)  I think Moon's Eye Plan is a very aggressive front since Tobi/Madara says himself that it basically is Not cautious.......Which could indicate he singles out some of the Kages.....with his own power and schemes.....We'll see....

d.)  Will Tobi/Madara be at the Meeting himself???!!!!!! Think about what Kisame called him..... MIZUKAGE......That's going to be interesting......How will Kishi pull this one off....This is why I think "Moon's Eye Plan" is put into effect....simply because Tobi/Madara might take out another Kage......and not show up himself  thus throwing the meeting into Chaos, OR the MORE LIKELY scenario is if he pulls an Orochimaru and kills one of the Kages (Hidden Rock Kage Possibly) the night before and gets Kisame and/or Zetsu (Granted I will say this that Kisame was ordered to find the Hachibi....sooo he might run into Naruto and crew but we'll see)  to pose as the Kage he killed.....thus his plan is to Manipulate the Entire Summit HIMSELF!!  Leaving Raikage, Danzo, and Gaara..... the only Three out of the Five that aren't controlled by Tobi/Madara......And with Sasuke going after Danzo who knows what may happen...... 

Also with Tobi/Madara Killing the Hidden Rock Kage (I say kill, the Kage, since he's never been developed, and the fact that he might be introduced but not around for long) .... then Gaara and the Siblings get held up by either Kisame OR Sasuke and Team Hawk OR Zetsu etc....... Thus leaving Raikage who's on the Warpath because of his brother's supposed abduction, and Danzo who's...well...Danzo.... coupled with Madara posing as Mizukage and Zetsu as Hidden Rock Kage...(Darn it don't know the Japanese title for that Rock Kage....lol...).....You can see how Tobi/Madara will finally manipulate the situation to fulfill his own means......thus "Moon's Eye Plan" goes into effect to set off this chain of events.....Because Gaara is the only voice that really represents Naruto's way of thinking and thus will be excluded so Tobi/Madara can bring forth the worst possible scenario in the meeting making things more complicated for our heroes......

Whereas Naruto searches for Killer bee and the solution to gain the Confidence of Hidden Cloud Village and Raikage, get Danzo off the Hokage throne before the Village Votes, and having Gaara as an Ally...to try and undo the damage Tobi/Madara has done........ Thus potentially Naruto could gain the Favor of 3 Kages against an Akatsuki posing as a Kage and Tobi/Madara as Mizukage.....Thus becoming the Wrench Again in Tobi/Madara's plans....and thus causing the final confrontation...possibly..

e.)  What's this?...Rinne Tensei supposed to be for Tobi/Madara.........what does T/M need with that I wonder.....I won't go into detail with that yet but it is of important note I think...and may have something to do with Tobi/Madara trying to reach his FULL power since Itachi's himself said he was currently merely a shell of his former self.....Which begs the question that Madara might've needed Nagato's ability for something else.......perhaps to help restore him back to his former self....

f.)  Zetsu shows us another creepy ability.....the "Split'em Up" jutsu......So Half is leading Sasuke and Hawk and the other is with Tobi/Madara........ So in theorizing a little bit...... more the reason I think Zetsu split was because...... Tobi/Madara needs him for either posing as a Kage and/or stalling Gaara.....and the same reason with Kisame....I think Kishi might place Kisame on stalling duty again......but we'll see.....

(Sidenote:  You see How Tobi/Madara Sharingan forms first when appearing... weird...but cool effect) 

Granted it's just me theorizing......but we'll see........

Thanks for Reading and Enjoy!! : )
