also the reason why he killed his clan is very stupid, i did it to test my own strength then why not go up against the strongest of jounins or maybe even the hokage, there are pleanty of alternatives other than killing your own family.

so stop calling ppl liars, stupid, idiots etc tec just because they com up with a diffrent theory that you guys dont like. grow the fuck up. also dont say things like thats incorrect say why its incorrect.

i dont think that the point was to test his actually strength. itachi knows that he is strong.
consider what is the most important thing to the ninjas of the leaf: friendship and peace.
if itachi wanted to join the akatsuki he must be willing to break free from what others consider to be the weakness of the leaf (which is actually there greatest strength)
the greatest extreme of this is killing his family and by doing thisitachi is able to prove that he can break away from his humanity and become a tool, the way of the shinobi.
i feel that he failed in that attempt and feels remorseful, and therefore wants sasuke to kill him for his sins

That's a decent enough theory for how Itachi could be a bad guy, although I think the good guy covering up theory makes more sense. Good job for thinking it out though.
