Truth About Uchiha's Past

[RasenDori]

i feel that there is one main hole in the itachi is a good guy theory: he wants sasuke to hate him, he left him alive to be the avenger of the clan
if you want someone to become stronger for revenge you dont make them hate you... all of there anger goes the wrong direction and you will NEVER gain that former relationship again
if itachi just tells sasuke someday "oh yeah...it wasnt me ... it was some other guy"
do you think that sasuke will just say "oh...i had it wrong this whole time. lets go kill him together nii-san...right after you give me a hug"
then everything that built up sasukes character since chapter 4 has been a complete waste of time
if itachi was a good guy why would he make sasuke lead such a dangerous life?
im an older brother myself and i cant imagine putting my sibling through that much hell...itachi cares very little about his brother now and only wants sasuke to kill him

[Death BOO Z]

Itachi want's to keep Sauske alive, and if he told him that someone else killed the clan, then Sasuke would probably go after that man and end up getting killed (not before begging for his misreable life, of course...), so by telling Sasuke that he killed the clan, Itachi makes sure that Sasuke will do his best to live ('survive in the most pathetic way, cling to life and strive to kill me') and if he finds out that Sasuke still isn't strong enough, he'll tell him to keep trying and avoids killing him...

maybe Itachi want's to be Sasuke's meassuring stick himself (that sound really bad...), so that once Sasuke is able to kill him, Itachi will tell Sasuke the truth becuase he'll know that Sasuke will be able to take revenge against the true killer...

so lets say if orochimaru killed the uchihas you would tell your brother, that a really strong and evil ninja killed his whole family so he would go after him instead? by telling sasuke that you did it yoo can ensure that he only focuses on you and therefore doesnt face any strong ruthless enemies. and you obviously wont kill him since you love him.

i am also a older brother and if i had to choose between these to i would choose to make myself the target.

Agreed.

well, that can't be cuz itachi already knows that sasuke has a cure seal which means he probably knows that sasuke has already ran into orochimaru. i'm sure itachi knows about orochimaru since they were once in an organization together and are both from konoha. i guess itachi's plan pretty much failed miserably.

Hrm, Itachi may feel that hating the elder brother would cause a greater drive for revenge than simply some stranger killing his family. And, if Sasuke can kill Itachi...he can kill Orochimaru.

HRm...maybe Itachi is a mole inside the Akatsuki(sp?) and used the death of the Uchiha clan as a way to get "in"...and that um...the Uchiha's were in league with...!!! Nah, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img].

Itachi's plan may very well have back-fired indeed. It will be interesting if A) This is true and B) How Itachi will deal with it.

except in the real world all you'd be doing would make your brother live completely in solitude and hate and distrust everyone.....as opposed to being honest and at least being there for him.
