Is itachi aware of his own arrogance before dying or is it only after being edo tenseid? Was he aware of it during the massacre? Sorry for sending so many asks, your metas on the Uchihas are the best!

Thanks :) It's ok, although I'm not that interested in Itachi anymore cause I wrote so much about him that I don't think there is anything more to add. Also I don't like neither his fans, cause they see him as a meek, submissive, sweet guy, basically someone else, nor his haters.

Itachi was always aware of his own arrogance.

He was during the massacre and earlier. He said so himself, when he talked to Sasuke before the Uchiha policemen came to accuse him of having killed Shisui.

He was as Edo Tensei, having Sasuke fight beside him, obeying to his commands but also showing how strong he had become. He told Sasuke that he could have told him how things were really going back then, because maybe Sasuke could have changed things. But to me it's more of a last heartbreaking reconciliation thing he said out of regret than a real possibility because in the clan Itachi was the genius, the one everyone listened to, while Sasuke was just a child who couldn't keep up with his older brother so I find it hard to imagine him changing his father's mentality and the clan elder's.

What would Itachi's life be like without Sasuke? In shinden he had his own dream of world peace and being hokage, so while later his life did revolve around Sasuke, would it still be like that without the UCM? It seemed like Itachi had a life outside of Sasuke, while Sasuke didn't have a life outside of Itachi.

It's true, Itachi had a life outside Sasuke because he had his ideal of peace which led him to protect the village, so even if Sasuke was the most important 'thing' in his life, he had something else as well, while for Sasuke Itachi was his most important 'thing' but since that most important person had killed their parents and destroyed his life, he had nothing else. That's why Itachi made him focus on revenge, also.

Without the massacre Itachi's life would revolve around the village, doing missions, helping his father and the clan with its things, and so on, and ofc around Sasuke who would still be his most important person and whom he'd always keep an eye on because it's his personality to be controlling and to want his brother to have a good life, his concept of it adjusting to the context, which in this case would be a non-massacre universe, where Sasuke would be safer and closer to him and where he could have his own life too, allowing himself to have friends and so on, when he's not working hard to be worthy of working with his father and brother, which used to be his dream before the massacre.

I replied to a vaguely related ask here. More about non massacre AU headcanons here.

Man, anti-*tachi fans are a confusing and irritating breed. Their takes are so hypocritical and ignorant of the context the manga provides. I am eternally rolling my eyes whenever their posts plug the *tachi tag. Also makes me lose braincells over their poor portrayal of themselves as "superior" and "sensible" readers and fans who truly understood the story which they clearly did not. Not to mention, I've observed most of them are so-called Sa*uke "stans" (and F*gaku "stans"). Funny thing is, their fave wouldn't tolerate their niisan slander LMAO

Ofc Sasuke would disagree on everything, he adored his older brother.

But these ppl are not just anti-itachi fans and Sasuke stans, they're also, how they say it themselves, Sasuke 'apologists' and Nar ‘critical fans’ who ‘don't condone konoha's systemic oppression’ thus they can’t let the Uchiha genocide be forgotten, which leads to Itachi hate.

Tbh I don’t care about defending Itachi because in the past I wrote about this kind of topic so much that I got kinda bored by all this. It should be obvious, Sasuke loves his brother more than anything in the world. Despite the horrible things his brother did. That’s why their bond is so deep.

Also I find Itachi interesting because he’s a controversial character. And because Sasuke adores him. Other than this, I’m not interested in him much anymore because the fandom ruined him for me. Cause not just haters but also Itachi stans seeing him as a martyr who has no fault are ridiculously pushing an OOC interpretation of their fave.

Thanks for the answer. To clarify, is Itachi ok with Sasuke leaving him and the pain he caused in a post massacre world if he wasn't dying?

Thanks for coming back and clarifying.

Everything Itachi did was to ensure that Sasuke remained alive, no matter how painful or controversial or brutal in the mind of Itachi it was necessary to keep his brother alive and as safe as he could be in their situation, which, in his mind, means being in Konoha, as a Konoha shinobi.

(it’s an in-universe analysis of his motifs, not a moral judgment, in case someone needs to see this specified)

If he thought that Sasuke was safe he'd be ok. It should be his concept of safe though, or else he'd need to "verify" how safe he is in the path he chooses for himself.

Because Itachi had chosen Sasuke's path even before he got sick.

More about Itachi. More about Sasuke. More about Itachi and Sasuke's relationship.

But what would Itachi's life be like without Sasuke? Would he be like a young Kakashi or maybe the ideal shinobi? Btw What He Wanted is the best ItaSasu fic ever, made me cry so many times! Thank you!

Thank you :)

If Sasuke were not born I guess he'd be an ideal shinobi like young Kakashi yes, only thinking about missions and protecting the village. With Shisui alive he'd be more 'human' as he'd have someone close, without him he'd be more like broken young Kakashi. Sorry I'm not exactly interested in Itachi without Sasuke lol

What do you think is Itachi's biggest fear? And Sasuke's?

Itachi’s biggest fear is that something bad happens to Sasuke, and by something bad I mean death, because for someone like him who saw the battlefield at 4, death is the worst thing. Also, closely related to death, there is Sasuke not being safe. That’s why he accepted Danzo’s conditions, that’s why he slaughtered the whole clan, joined Akatsuki and lied to Sasuke manipulating him. His biggest fear was Sasuke’s death, and Sasuke not being safe by becoming an enemy of Konoha. This made him act in ways that made Sasuke suffer immensely, but in those ways he thought he’d keep his brother alive and safe.

Sasuke is different. His situation is completely different. As a child, and partly later, he might have feared to not be enough, strong enough to be beside his brother and father, but then he lost them, and then he made up for his insecurities by training constantly and focusing on revenge and strength. Despite his terrible situation Itachi had a sort of control over things, he had the knowledge of the whole situation and he could make his own choice (even though he was being threatened by Danzo saying he’d kill Sasuke). Sasuke didn’t have any knowledge of how reality was, he only knew what Itachi had made him believe, so he acted according to that, and later according to the pieces of truth he learned. Besides he lost everything and everyone he loved so he might be afraid of losing his friends like he says in pt.1 once, and he shows the same feeling in pt.2 when Killer B is attacking Team Taka and he activates/learns to control Amaterasu to protect Karin.

But, at the same time, it’s not exactly the same imo, because despite his bonds, Sasuke’s main bond is the love for his family and his even stronger bond with his brother, which is the root of everything he feels, thinks and does, which makes him first sever all other bonds to become stronger and defeat Itachi (to have revenge and justice for his family), then avenge Itachi, then fight to protect the village Itachi had wanted to protect, then try to become what in his mind a Hokage should be=like Itachi.

Since he didn’t have Itachi anymore and he didn’t have his most beloved ones anymore he’s kind of fearless, and you can see it through the series how reckless and uncaring he was when it came to his own safety.

Dear Hawk, hope you are better now. My question is about brothers and religion. In a modern AU, do you think Sasuke could potentially be a religious person?

I started thinking about it because I realised that I've read quite a few fanfics with religious Sas. It felt strange at first, however... He is pure and honest, non-manipulative, not arrogant. And these things make him somewhat close to what, say, Christianity expects of its followers. Furthermore, he can be easily manipulated (this is probs too strong of a statement because it depends on the person manipulating him and many other factors. But, say, Itachi and Orochimaru did well). And this made me think he could even be lured into a sect/cult thing with the "right" actions and circumstances (if his insecurities were used against him somehow...) Anyway, if he was raised in a religious family, I guess he would have the chances to become a genuine believer. What do you think?

The same question goes for Itachi if you feel like exploring it as well. Tbh I don't know what to say about him and religion.

(Again, I searched your blog but didn't find similar asks. It you replied to sth like this earlier, feel free to ignore this ask.)

My situation is not smth to be fixed in a few days or week, or even months, but thanks.

About your ask, I never read any fic with religious Sasuke or anyone else tbh. I see him more like an independent thinker who doesn't fit with established ideologies, including religions, not against any (because he's very open minded with other people no matter what they are, do, and, surely, believe in) but not exactly following one.

In a modern AU I think it would depend on his upbringing, if his family is religious he'd be raised with those values and habits like praying or attending Sunday Mass or its equivalent in other religions ofc. Cause I'd say all religions expect their followers to be honest, pure, non manipulative, good people.

A tragedy, like the massacre in canon, might make him abandon religion because where was God when the bad thing happened, and because he'd focus on avenging his loved ones/seek justice for them but he might keep some family related tradition connected to religion, a private altar or a ritual.

As for being manipulated into a cult, like you said it might happen if the cult leader found the way to get to him, using his insecurities, his low self esteem, his never been seen as good as his older brother. Or his need of something else, like revenge, justice, depending on the context. Like after some tragedy happened first, something that made Sasuke be suddenly alone, without his family and brother. Then he might not be aware that he's being manipulated or he might know and join like he did with Akatsuki, knowing that he was being used but needing something from them as well.

About Itachi, I think his philosophical nature makes him question reality but also ideas and beliefs, so that he doesn't follow any religion and he doesn't believe in God. He seems the type who wouldn't accept a God who allows war, for example, and he wouldn't accept any religions' explanation for this. He also seems the type who'd think that it's men who created God and not God who created men.

He might attend religious ceremonies as part of his family duties, he might also have an extensive knowledge of religion, but he would not accept its dogmas, or he might only apparently accept them.

I think that orochimaru did something sexual to sasuke, but then I think about itachi and I think about his face when he killed orochimaru, and maybe he knew about orochimaru and what he did to sasuke. But that make him the worst big brother, I don't know why people call him the best big brother??

I replied to a similar ask here, and I have a whole tag for Itachi, whose actions I’m kinda bored to discuss after having done it for a long time, sorry.

I too headcanon that Itachi knew what Orochimaru did to Sasuke, because he knew how Orochimaru was, so freeing Sasuke from the curse mark was also a way to free him from everything else that was done to him, in a figurative sense ofc.

As for your last sentence, most people in fandoms (and not only) talk in stock phrases and meme language, they all imitate each other, they don’t think independently. Best brother, worst brother, they are concepts that don’t mean anything to me. Fiction is fiction, you can’t judge it with real life terms anyway. Fiction has to follow a narrative, characters need a background for their actions, some things can’t be avoided if you want characters and the story to move on, so this kind of judgement shows a lack of critical thinking, a lack of knowledge of narrative, from literature to movies and anime, cause such tragic and controversial stuff is f*cking needed.

This was an out-of-universe comment. In-universe, Itachi was blackmailed, Danzo said that if he didn’t side with them he would have killed the clan anyway, starting from Sasuke. Itachi loved Sasuke more than anyone else so he chose to sacrifice the whole clan to keep him alive and he chose to keep him alive in Konoha, which despite its dark sides he still believed in because he believed in the concept of village to keep the peace. It’s in my Itachi tag that I’ll link again here, there are so many asks I can’t even choose which one to link tbh.

He chose to keep Sasuke in Konoha thinking that he’ll stay there, with a sensei and a team, and he’d get stronger there until it was time to kill him. He didn’t foresee that Orochimaru would set his eyes on him, put a curse mark on him and manipulate him using precisely Sasuke’s weakness against Itachi. He didn’t foresee that Sasuke would appear when he and Kisame tried to kidnap Naruto and to keep his cover he traumatized and humiliated Sasuke even more, which led him to sever his bonds with Konoha and join Orochimaru even quicker.

Tbh I couldn’t care less if Itachi is the best or the worst brother, if he’s good or bad. What I care about is the bond he has with Sasuke, in good and in bad, and what I care about even more is the way Sasuke feels about him, the strongest feelings he has for him.

Dear Hawk, you said several times in your posts you believe that Sasuke has a m@sochistic streak. Do you think Itachi could have "a thing for pain" as well?

No I don't think so. This is an unpopular opinion for many so if you are into passive/victim Itachi you might not want to read this, and if you do keep in mind that it’s my opinion on my blog for which I demand respect. Anyway.

It's a fan thing to imagine that he has, and it's ok to have headcanons but imo in canon he never showed such tendency.

In Sasuke I see it in the way he is reckless when it comes to risking his own life, it's a mix of being goal oriented and having a low self esteem, so he doesn't care if he gets hurt, offended, humiliated, used, as long as he reaches his goal (remember how he didn't mind Tobirama's words or becoming Orochimaru's vessel).

In Itachi I don’t see anything similar. Especially when it comes to physical attacks, he usually stays away from them, being a genjutsun user firstly, and only occasionally he engages in physical and close range combat, and when he does it’s for a short time. He might do it to save energy, but also because it’s not his thing. Only with Sasuke he engages in a closer combat and gets more physical but it’s an aggressive way (ofc, since they’re fighting) and he shows superiority, usually, getting to hit and hurt Sasuke much more than getting hit and hurt in return.

So when I think about him actually I can see the reverse, he might have a thing for inflicting pain, since his attacks are kinda sadistic, both physically and psychologically, think about the way he beat Sasuke very closely and very brutally every time, and think about Mangekyou and how he used it on both Kakashi and Sasuke, to reproduce a longlasting pain, and a painful moment over and over.

I hope this answers your question in a satisfying way Anon.

Dear Hawk, I hope you have a nice day. This question popped into my head when I saw a fanart recently. Do you think Itachi, during his Akatsuki years, could go to prostitutes? Is it OOC for him? I guess he probably had a low sex drive, however... Idk. Considering that he lives in that shinobi world, I wonder if he ever had the idea that buying sex is 'immoral'. Would like to hear your opinion anyway!

Hello Anon and thank you.

I think that prostitution, which in our world has pretty much always existed in most societies, is not at all immoral in N*ruto’s universe where children are trained to be soldiers and assassins, where mad scientists kidnap people and use them for experiments or make them fight to the death or whatever Orochimaru did, not to mention all the other weird things that are part of their society. So paying to have sex is kind of natural in their society too imo.

For Itachi though it seems OOC because he was never shown to have an interest in other people, unless a few exceptions, the most blatant being Sasuke ofc. He seems to have a low s*x drive as well, because of his illness and because of his personality, he seems kinda ‘disgusted’ by people and physical contact in general, the exception being Sasuke once again. So imo it’s ooc that he seeks a prostitute’s company.

But him thinking it’s immoral is weird, OOC even, because he killed his own clan, he saw the war as a child, he lived undercover in a terrorist organization...paying for s*x seems quite bland in comparison to all this. Imo he’d just think it’s someone’s preference, and it’s not his business. I can even headcanon Kisame being into it at times, to release some pent up stress or smth, while for Itachi it would be uninteresting.

I see him more like the type to use s*x as a way to exert his power over someone he wants to threaten or dominate. Or, in a less dark context, to have tried it out of curiosity when he was very young (lol immoral for our world, not for theirs because they can die young being soldiers), with someone he trusted, like Shisui.

I wanted to ask about your thoughts on Itachi before the truth of what happened regarding the massacre had been revealed. What were your thoughts?

I replied to something similar here and here.

I was interested in Sasuke and my interested for Itachi was through Sasuke’s filter, so to speak, so I was focused more on Sasuke’s revenge against him and not on speculating on Itachi’s motives and personality behind the massacre or his feelings for Sasuke. I did find him intriguing tho, from his appearance to his mannerism, unlike most akatsuki members. I found interesting his calm demeanor and his polite and vague speech pattern contrasting with his very tangibly ruthless, cruel actions towards Kakashi (in pt 1) and ofc Sasuke.

I didn’t watch pt 1 anime, only a few basic episodes including Itachi & Sasuke ones, so I base my judgement on the manga mostly. For pt 2 instead I watched the anime and the ost adds a lot to it, and Itachi’s theme Sen’ya is the best one imo, conveying mystery and melancholy, that weren’t fitting for someone who killed his clan only to test his abilities and that hinted at something more, which was explained with the truth. But anyway I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it as despite Itachi was intriguing I was rooting for Sasuke. 

Yeah I understand what you mean with Kishimoto's intentions. Naruto's still just a work of fiction, one that was made with many hands and over the course of many years with author intentions changing over that time. Even a (relatively) simple character like Gaara was written before Kishimoto had the full idea of what he was wanting to do with the Tails Beasts and there's some weird stuff with him and his background as a result.

I think fan interpretations always have to make compromises between the constructed world of the fiction and the reality of the circumstances behind the creation of the fiction.

I probably shouldn't have really brought up that discussion going on with whether Itachi is 'badly written' or not, since I mostly just wanted to describe that I found a way to view Itachi's earlier actions in a way I thought was still cohesive to his overall character.

After all, the other part of fan interpretation is knitting together facets and character moments into a bigger context and characterization even if the meaning wasn't fully intended by the original author.

You found a way to explain this problem with this specific Itachi's action, it's ok even if I don't agree with it, I know it's good fanfic material, and I'm sure that many fans might agree with your interpretation.

I remember that in the past, when I was more an Itachi fan and I was more interested in anything related to him I ignored this on purpose, because it didn't fit, unlike everything else he did and said.

When the ending came out I became less idealistic about the whole story, because I got to know more things about kishi's work, even though certain details, like this Gaara thing and more, he mentioned already. So now I think about characters' actions and motivations both from an in-universe perspective and an out-of-universe one, because now I know they're related more than I imagined, that's all.

I've seen a lot of people who aren't fond of Itachi say something to the tune of 'Itachi's reveal made no sense because it contradicts his actions in part 1 too much'

For the most part, I disagree, I think almost all of Itachi's actions are perfectly understandable, no matter how cruel or extreme, from his point of view. In the lens of him trying to protect both Konoha and Sasuke, his extreme measures make sense, he's in an extreme situation and acts accordingly.

But there's always been one thing that I hadn't been able to reconcile for a while that I still thought was odd, and that was Itachi telling Sasuke that he needed to kill his best friend to become as strong as him. For me, that didn't make sense since we know Itachi wanted Sasuke to keep his bonds in Konoha to return there as a hero and live a happy life, and killing his best friend to follow Itachi's path would be very likely to destroy those bonds.

But then the thought occurred to me. What if Itachi saying that was a deliberate manipulation on his part? By telling Sasuke about that aspect of the Mangekyo and portraying it as the only way Sasuke could become stronger than him, Itachi was playing on Sasuke's intense desire to surpass Itachi. Presenting it as the only avenue forward in order to tilt Sasuke towards seeking out his own ways of becoming stronger in defiance of Itachi. As to why Itachi even told him about that aspect of the mangekyo to begin with, Itachi has already concerned himself about what information Sasuke receives and who he hears it from. If Itachi hadn't told him about the mangekyo, there was a possibility Sasuke could have learned it himself in some other manner, and independently come to the conclusion that he must kill his best friend to become stronger, which Itachi needed to steer him away from.

And hey, if this was indeed Itachi's intention, it worked! Sasuke absolutely did not kill Naruto and indeed sought out his own ways to surpass Itachi (even if he ended up leaving the village to do so, which Itachi didn't want).

Sorry if this topic is old news to you, it's something I'm happy to have finally hashed out in my head and I just wanted to put it into words and I wanted to know if you thought there was any basis to it.

I can’t imagine what kishi really meant for Itachi in the very beginning, my opinion is that he/the staff had a vague idea of him not only being the reason behind Sasuke’s trauma, personality and motives, but also him being a mysterious character that might have had a secret, that he hadn’t flashed out completely back then and that he developed later. I have this opinion because idk if in the volumes or elsewhere (so I can’t find the source) I read that he took Gaara’s name from some city souvenir (???) and he came up with some other character names in a quite simplistic/random way. Ofc it’s 2 different things to name some characters in a story with many of them, and to come up with a cool backstory, but still.

I’m not idealistic in this because kishi disappointed me too much with the ending and the new shit, so I realized that too often fans tend to see more into every detail of a story because they love it very much and they love its characters, while the author ofc loves it (or the money that comes with it) but has different priorities, like deadlines, like structuring chapters in a way to stimulate readers' interest and curiosity.

This, to me, is the case of Itachi telling Sasuke to kill N*ruto to obtain MS. Ofc it might be like you said, part of his plan, telling Sasuke to do something horrible so that he’d sound even more cruel, and so that Sasuke would be so horrified that he’d find his own path, but on the other hand it was a hazard...because what if Sasuke’s need for revenge was stronger than his love for his best friend? And like you said, what if killing his best friend would have been seen as a crime by the village Itachi himself wanted Sasuke to stay in so much? Because a shinobi can’t just kill a comrade, it would have been a crime, even worse than deserting the village and joining Orochimaru in pt 1.

Itachi should have been 100% sure that this part of the plan worked, it’s a bit too risky imo, especially considering that what we know of Itachi’s plan is that he wanted Sasuke to focus on revenge to have a purpose, to stay in Konoha, be a shinobi there and kill him when he was strong enough. We know that his plan didn’t envision Sasuke leaving and joining Orochimaru, but that happened because they met in the inn and Itachi was forced to beat and humiliate his brother, which led to him feeling weak and powerless, so much that he had to seek strength outside the village, like Orochimaru wanted.

Still, this part of Itachi’s plan, despite having failed, makes more sense than the killing N*ruto part.

So to me it sounds like a plot hole, an inconsistency in kishi's writing, something he wrote to show how cruel villain Itachi was, and to show how in comparison Sasuke was different, despite betraying N*ruto and the village, but still being good in his heart, not being able to kill his best friend even though it would have granted him a greater power.

lol when ppl are like ‘my bby itachi so cute he doesn’t know how to act around ppl he’s so naive and unaware he doesn’t know how to deal with emotions and with ppl’ ...really?

Ofc ppl can write their own fics freely which includes this kind of Itachi but if they think it’s real...uhm. To mention a few CANON examples, Itachi in canon shows respect towards Jiraiya, lack of respect towards Obito, deference towards the third, commanding attitude, kinda, towards Kisame, sarcasm with Naruto and even with Sasuke in a different way. He’s totally able to act and react to every person in a different way, he can have manners and be appropriate, or he can chose to behave in a threatening way. Which means he’s not like that. In canon. fanon itachi can be different, but that’s subjective, and not IC.

There is a character who is like that: SAI. He has no idea how to interpret people’s behavior, emotions, relationships. He is either too blunt or shy, he literally has to study how to make friends. He only knows how to behave with superiors. Sai is an underrated character btw, he’s cute.

I get that those OOC Itachi fans might not care about Sai, but the one they describe is more like Sai lol.

On a different note Sasuke can be rude (no honorifics, brusque way to speak) and unaware of people’s emotions (like Karin being attracted to him) but that’s because he’s always in his own mind, focused in his own goals. But as a child he used to have manners. He changed after the massacre, which makes sense.

sorry but I am losing interest in Itachi because of his fandom and all their OOC headcanons that become accepted as canon lol. Not going to tag this or put it in the pro tag ofc, everyone is free, but I’m free too, so here’s my rant, on my own blog. Hawk out

Is Itachi insecure about his ability to protect Sasuke? Does he think he is "good enough" for him? I know you said that Itachi is a very confident person but when he met Sasuke for the last time he was apologetic about his actions and everything. Do you think he was only apologising because it was the last time they were going to meet? Or do you think if Itachi continued to be alive he would really change and try not to do everything by himself?

Apologizing because he might have made a mistake and because maybe it would have been better to tell him the truth doesn’t mean being insecure, it means reconsidering his actions and realizing he could have done things wrong. Confident people do reconsider their actions too, and they admit their own mistakes, if they’re clear minded, and I’ll never stop repeating that Itachi is one of the most confident characters of the whole series and that lol Itachi and insecure in the same sentence sounds funny and ooc to me. He is not insecure about his ability to protect him, or he would have not acted in a way to control Sasuke’s whole life. Even entrusting him to N*ruto means controlling his life and choosing who he should associate with. It’s an extremely confident attitude.

Does he think he is good enough for Sasuke? canon Itachi is not sas*ita or shi*ta fanon Itachi where he is a socially inept genius who’s also not confident about himself because he was used as a tool so he doesn’t know how to see himself. He was used as a tool and he was a child soldier but he is totally aware about his self worth and he thinks he’s more clever and better than anyone else, because he is, being a prodigy. And he tells Sasuke omg, when he says that he became arrogant, before the police comes for him after Shisui’s suicide, but his stans conveniently forgot this, too busy fangirling about martyr meek itachi eating dangos and loving all children.

Yes, he was apologizing to Sasuke because it was the last time they met and he never had the chance to face his brother with him knowing the truth.

No, I don’t think Itachi would change if he was alive, because changing is hard and not even genius can do it easily. IF someone thinks they’re more intelligent, more knowledgeable than others, if they can actually see how things will turn out and plan and all that stuff Itachi did, no matter if things actually go as he foresees, they’ll still rely on their perceptions and ideas more than on other’s. So I am sure that he would try to change but he mostly wouldn’t succeed because it’s not a matter of, idk, not eating something anymore, which is just a matter of willpower, it would be a matter of changing his own mind and deepest thoughts, and it’s almost impossible. Especially when it comes to protecting Sasuke, his little brother, that he loves and for whom he feels a duty to act like a big brother, which means also deciding for him.

I have a whole itachi tag where everything related to him has been discussed. And a whole itachi/sasuke tag, same as above.

(if anyone thinks differently, don’t bother discussing with me, I’m not interested~)

when itachi is not fighting and being a civilian do you think he is a little dorky/nerdy? He doesn't seem like a very cool person outside of fighting

you probably never opened my blog because I repeated over and over that I think that this dorky, dango eating, tea sippin’ itachi thing is the most ooc fanon thing ever and if it’s played for laughs it’s ok but if it’s believed to be real I just can’t.

I replied to similar asks here, here and here. Oh and it’s also stated in my pinned post!

this is my itachi tag. this is my replies/essays/meta tag. this is my tags masterpost.

pls in the future check them first. I don’t really like to reply to the same things over and over lol
