im guessing they killed of the rest of the clan so that no one will be a threat against them in the future. It's obvious they wanna destroy the leaf with sending the nine tails and all, especially with itachi saying it was unfortunate that the 4th stopped the attack.u need ure brother for the transplant not any sharingan from what the translations say,
for the dude that said they killed the uchiha to see which eyes were compatable, they didnt go thru all the uchiha to see who would be compatable, just how would that work? u pull out ure eyes use theres and if it doesn't work put back in ure eyes? lol that just doesn't make sense i dubt they can just see the eyes and say "hey those are compatable eyes to gain perma MS lets take em."
The rinnegan being the strongest, who knows we haven't seen all abilities from it yet. we do know unless u kill all the bodies they can be revived which is pretty damn powerful. We dont know how madara is still alive so we can't say perfect MS makes u live 100+ years or w/e.
Madara stealing his bros eyes i guess he got them easily cause his bro was shocked at what happened, i dont think u would think ure older brother would steal ure eyes now, would u? The shock must have paralyzed him lol. It's awesome how itachi looked crazy there for a second can't wait for this fight![]()
