When Itachi Decides to Use 100% of his Brain

When Itachi put Kakashi into a coma while barely trying.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Honestly, my only critique is that thanks to Itachi's and Kisame's really chill dynamic, them going to the tea shop isn't very strange. Heck, even if it did raise a red flag for Kisame, Kisame would've rationalized that even Itachi got a little homesick after all these years and indulged in a treat after a long journey on foot. Kisame might've assumed this was a favorite shop that Itachi used to frequent, and is confident enough that they can handle almost anything thrown at them so it's worth the risk to set his partner's mind at ease. In other words, I like to think Kisame was being Itachi's bro here.

[@anyamiranda9452]

That might be, since they're both freaks

[@Suto_Ko]

yeah, I can see where you're coming from, Itachi and Kisame's chill dynamic could make going to the tea shop seem less strange. Kisame might even rationalize it as Itachi getting a little homesick and wanting a treat. Kisame being Itachi's bro and setting his mind at ease is a nice thought.

[@Sakurasan2023]

That is possible

[@jimmyk.s3579]

Itachi only had 3 friends in shisui, juzo and kisame, kisame knew itachi all to well and trusted him to make the decisions, he killed his whole clan while kisame killed his comrads. Don't forget itachi was also safe having kisame with him. They are just solid bros

[@Suto_Ko]

@@jimmyk.s3579 Yeah, Itachi and Kisame had a unique bond as partners and trusted each other deeply. They were indeed solid bros, taking on their respective roles and supporting each other.

[@seanli4279]

In Chinese and Japanese, “火影” or “Hokage” means “ the shadow of fire”, Itachi’s life perfectly describes it. As Sasuke said Itachi is the true Hokage.

Hashirama and the 3rd literally says that itachi understood what it meant to be a true shinobi better than most.

[@paulonavarro7095]

Even when we didnt know about Itachi true intentions, this invasion to the Leaf was EPIC. Itachi on the first layer was a really badass vilain, and the "hatred" quote was onde of the most powerful we had seen so far. The fact that this was just the first layer of his personality just makes him an even more brilliant character (probably the most well written in the whole manga)

Itachi made Kisame think he was actually afraid of Jiraiya since he's a Legendary Sannin, whole time him at 14 already one-shotted a Sannin who's stronger than Jiraiya😂😂 4D chess at it's finest.

[@starsaber9631]

Not really. If itachi knew that jaraiya had says more then perhaps he knew genjustu wouldn't work on him which for the most part is his strongest jutsu. Sage more ain't a joke. I believe if he knew about pains ability he might have beaten him. Martin in sage more would of super the floor with kisame which is why harm to only used save more against the big shots during the war. Just my opinion of course 😁

[@starsaber9631]

Meant to write Sage mode. Bloody youtube. Don't have a broad expanse of the English language apparently lol

[@karlkarlson7350]

I think it's strange that pain who knows Jiraiyas abilities best in the akatsuki believes that fairy tale Itachi and Kisame weren't able to kill jiraiya and retrieve the nine tails.

[@ThatBoiTurbo]

@@starsaber9631 i respect your opinion but i have to disagree bro, Itachi already 1-shotted Orochimaru at age 14, a stronger version of Orochimaru than the one that fought 4-tails Naruto and was toying around with him with basically a dead vessel. That same 4-tails Naruto damn near killed Jiraiya during the time skip, he didn't go all out of course but neither did Orochimaru seeing as he couldn't his body was ready to be done. Itachi also has stronger jutsu than his genjutsu, Jiraiya has no counter for the Susano'o, amaterasu, the yata mirror or the totsuka blade. Itachi no diffs Jiraiya if he's really trying to kill him then with Kisame there as well, Jiraiya stood no chance. Itachi was still a spy for the Leaf hence why he didn't really fight anyone while he was in the village,

[@ThatBoiTurbo]

@@karlkarlson7350 i think so too, idk what web they spun to him to make him believe them but i think he would know their abilities as well as woulf have figured out they could have killed Jiraiya and made off with Naruto pretty easily.

[@seanli4279]

Itachi is and always will be my favorite character of anime. Especially after being brought back by Kabudo, he has nothing need to hide, he talks a lot to Naruto and Sasuke, and I really like reading his words. Such a wise person.

To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality'). I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)! European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!! They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-r@pe, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till. xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert/vulnerable-narcissists. ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism). Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet. SUMMARY Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler).

Classic ENTP and "child-touchers": ________ [QUOTE] ... I know that on average, an ENTP would like anti-villains - because “FUN” (and that is the essence of the ENTP neuro-psychology/conscious experience of life. It is what “anchors them to wanting to exist/life”). Their varying levels of sociopathy is also a contributing factor; this pertains to ALL ENTP. The ones who are comorbid with NPD are always the worst! Narcissist-variants[ENTP] (in which there are many-the ‘majority’, and that is matter of fact) are the absolute worst and the most destructive among the ENTP. They are also largely responsible for the horrible legacy and reputation that rightfully plagues the archetypical-prostitute and archetypical-clown 'ENTP’ (natural degenerate and sociopath). This degenerate legacy and reputation is a thing that their collective attempt to manage by adapting to the situation. They communicate amongst themselves like diseased, swarms of rats, and feign being intelligent via “intellectual-bullying”. ENTP process data[information] through a mental layer/filter of “fun” (they look for the fun in the information they filter/process), this makes their style or mode of intelligence appear unique - except it is not! It can easily be replicated by anyone, i.e. have apathy for most things, feel relatively empty and dead on the inside, and be an addicted ‘rational-pleasure-whore; towards anything “fun” and that might be entertaining or stimulate her dead, default emotional state. This is the essence of the ENTP. It is made worse with NPD; in which the majority secretly foster (- so beware)! Again, depriving the ENTP of Dopamine is the most effect way to thoroughly own and tame them - even on a spiritual level (it hurts them more than anyone else. It is ‘literally’ SOUL-CRUSHING for the ENTP, especially with NPD. You can watch the demons fly out of them this way. Hint: Dopamine> Brain > ‘ENTP’ (Lucifer's ego destroyed). On a [seeming] random note, I will not forget the archetypical-p[_]dophile and spawn of Lucifer, *'ENTP'*, rigging the MBTI compatibility chart, and toying with other people's quality of life, romantic experiences, and especially (i.e. a personal level too) for making ignorant, [sex] toys of the archetypical-sage/archetypical-aristocrat. P.S: Narcissit-ENTP (and sensor-feelers) are the most responsible for creating [hyper-sexual, degenerate] borderlines/BPD (especially in INFJ; ENTP have a rapey, objectifying fetish for INFJ, and then INTJ). ENTP is the archetypical rapey jester and clown who refuses to leave the XNFJ aristocrat alone. ENTP[NPD] have a natural narcissitic, and rapey jealousy for XNTJ, and they take pleasure in the suffering of XNFJ. ENTP[NPD] and ESFP are natural associates; through emotional manipulation (because with sensor-feelers, their "feelings 'is' their reality", ENTP narcissits naturally manipulate ESFP into becoming disposable pawns). There is a strong correlation between ENTP[narcissits] and ESFP magnifying the influence of ENTPs (much like Elon Musk, and his ESFP driven propulsion into undeserved fame). ESFP spread ENTP disinformation and carry out their bidding, especially when it comes to grooming/domestic SA. If left unchecked, ENTP[NPD] and ESFP effectively turn a sound society into a red-light district. Lucifer, Seth, and Seth the programmer, etc, are all ENTP-NPD. I used to wonder why a benevolent God would create a dimension-space like "hell" (can be technologically projected into the mind like a 'metaphysical', virtual reality induced [hellish] experience... New style of torture, anyone?)... Now I know that 'hell' was created for the devil ("devil's advocate" - 'advocate' is other ENTP's, and the term hints at their literally innate Sociopathy. ENTP are fun-loving, agents of chaos; with NPD, they are the devil). If I could "type" NPD, it would be ENTP. Depriving the devil [ENTP], and its minions [ESFP] of dopamine is the cruelest and deserved fate for them. Narcissit-ENTP are even trying to claim other cultures (e.g. Egypt, as well as other civilizations), often disguised as "afrocentrists". However, as narcissits, they do not care about their fellow man (no innate humanity for it), and so they do not care about "black people" either, in truth! Instead, their "pro-black", afrocentrist nonsense has everything to do with "fun", and stroking ENTP-narcissits EGO (like a sort of masturbation - typical, for the archetypical-prostitute and clown). Relatively "normal ENTP's" aren't much different, and they secretly know it (they are not an disturbed by their own personality type; as most people do not naturally hate people like themselves). None of them are innately trustworthy. There are other more humane and intelligent neuro-personality types out there. ENTPs, especially as narcissits are truly abominable. They are the devil. Even "normal ENTP" factually need to be told "right from wrong", in order to be less of a devil and sociopath. ENTP's generally like each other for a reason, you know; that includes those with narcissitic personality disorder. "Fun" will always be their number priority and reason for living! Hypersexual-degenerate, and narcissitic rodent of the MBTI; ENTP are accomplished, perverted violators of all that is sacred, stable, and true. It is no surprise that Edison ruined Nikola Tesla's life (and as narcissits, ENTP would much rather ruin society then dampen their near sexual "fun"). Interestingly, yet unsurprising, even Elon Musk sees himself in Edison, i.e. their shared narcissism/NPD, innate devil, and varying levels of sociopathy. NOTE: The easiest way to forcedly dominate the threat that is the ENTP [rodent swarm], is to devalue their population. They are more trouble than they are worth, even God[s] (across countless religion, myths and legends recognised the threat that the ENTP pose in society. Normal-ENTP are barely sustainable. ENTP-narcissits are an abomination, even by narcissist standards - especially with the "child-touching" and indirect "grooming" by having ESFP, and sensor-feelers perform their pedophilic life-cycle for them, i.e. SA children, create borderline out of them, that way they will be less resistant/reclusive of ENTP's sexual advances and violation in the future. If left unchecked via allowing the ENTP [pop] 'influence' to grow out of hand, this is how ENTP naturally turn a country or city into a red-light district! And as the archetypical-prostitute and clown that really is their preferred and natural environment! ENTP secretly and naturally only care about their rodent-selves (unless their individual 'fun' has been compromised by a fellow ENTP). A society dominated by ENTP is a hellscape at worst, and dirty, red-light district as best. //End.

Seeing him for the first time (at around 9 years old), I thought he was a demon. After finding out what he did to his own family, I would shiver anytime I'd even hear his name, let alone see him. As handsome and alluring as I find him now, I don't think I'll ever see Itachi as a good-hearted character.

[@MichaelAChristian1]

Kisame was DEAD! Kurenai had him in genjutsu. He wasn't breaking out. He was dead.

[@hobbyhorse5848]

I view Itachi as …thinking he did the right thing, but he was a very brainwashed person. He was only 13 when he killed his whole family, that’s a very young and impressionable age regardless of how intelligent he was. What he did including inflicting mental torture on Sasuke was fully evil imo.

[@Suto_Ko]

understandable. itachi's actions were indeed dark and haunting. everyone has their own perspective on characters, and it's okay to have mixed feelings about them.

[@kiravampira1456]

@hobbyhorse5848 I agree. He had no reason to haunt Sasuke's painful memories, especially when *he* was the reason for his trauma. He has also inflicted some pain on Kakashi for no real reason. I see Itachi as a very clever and handsome menace, but still a menace.

[@kiravampira1456]

@SOLDAT_MENDES Well said. I probably feel this way because I value my family (especially my parents) more than anything in this universe. My child self was also terrified of Orochimaru (the irony, as now I'm deeply attracted to him), but him losing his parents at a very young age made me somehow justify his actions. Same with Sasori, for the same reason. Watching what Sasuke had to go through, also at such a young age, was nightmare fuel for my 9 years old self.

I don't know about the English speaking world, but in Japanese and Taiwanese fandom, that's a major theory.

[@HellCycle]

If Itachi used more than 1% of his brain he would have told Hiruzen that Danzo killed Shisui and then if that would not be enough to get rid of Danzo then a year later Itachi would tell Hiruzen that Danzo ordered Itachi to wipe out the Uchicha even when Hiruzen had just said that he doesn't want that. Probably that would have resulted in Danzo losing his power in Konoha and the Uchiha massacre never happening but Itachi is just too smart for that.

[@HellCycle]

@user-vl3iu8cn4l Well I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with that one but just where do you take the information that Hiruzen knew about the massacre before it had been executed. As much as I remember from the anime Hiruzen had just said to not take hasty measures and that he would want to talk the problem out with Uchihas.

Don't you think itachi could have given some Intel instead of torchure kakashi, and no one would have been the wiser?

[@Asher17]

I'm convinced that at that point Kishimoto still didn't know he was going to make Itachi a spy at that point

[@KewlBrown]

@user-vl3iu8cn4lnot true. Itachi was made to be actually bad until he was later retcon in shippuden. Because everyone knows how Kakashi is. He would be the last person to be bad haha

[@mikehorner5989]

I guess this is the place to say it. I don’t think Itachi is written well, there is no reason for him to go as far as he did with Sasuke it made Sasuke runoff to Orochimaru as well as mental scar him more than any other character with a few exceptions that have been just as bad nobody has it as bad

[@lightyoshiman]

(itachi knows what Naruto looks like, knows where he lives, knows his favorite hangout, and infiltrated the village without anyone noticing still doesn't go after Naruto) Fanbase: that makes no sense why wouldn't he just snatch him right there? (later finds out he was a secret agent) Fanbase: that's BS there was nothing suggesting he didn't want to catch Naruto and fulfill the akastuki's goal well people that's the whole point of being a SECRET agent you're not supposed to tell people your real motives

best Itachi Moment? ALL,of course....the mystic Aura only Itachi has,the character etc etc...

[@marikka9347]

I think that the Tsukiyomi Itachi used on Sasuke in the hotel had a more practical purpose. Itachi couldn't have Sasuke chasing Kisame and him. Clearly Sasuke would have. He tried breaking his wrist and tried to immobilize him everytime he came back for more. Sasuke just wouldn't stay down. You can tell when Sasuke, still on the ground, says that Itachi is his that Itachi is over it. He grumbles "fine" and walks over to him, roughs him up a bit more, then uses Tsukiyomi on him. Sasuke was not leaving Itachi any other option. He had to maintain his cover and keep Sasuke from chasing after him. It is a brief moment, but Itachi gives himself away here. Good thing his back was to Kisame. When Jiraiya puts them in the toad stomach, Itachi is still holding Sasuke up against the wall. He pushes Sasuke into the lining. It looks like a protective action to me. Otherwise he could have just let him go and let him fall to the floor. It seems protective because he then takes his hand off Sasuke, places it over his heart, closes his eyes and looks down. Almost like he is whispering to an unconscious Sasuke that he is sorry and briefly acknowledged the pain he is feeling. Right after that, he orders Kisame to "come," and they depart. I kinda think that was part of the Tsukiyomi with Kakashi as well. He knew he would survive it, but it would incapacitate him and prevent him from chasing after them. It would keep Asuma and Kurenai there, tending to Kakashi as well. He did not need to take further action on Guy because he already said he was just there to hold/detain them until the ANBU arrived. It was unlikely he'd chase after them with Kakashi down.

[@matheusmterra]

I saw a fan panel that had me on the floor: First panel is adult Sasuke arriving home at the leaf; he is greeted by Sarada, next panel is her going to give him a hug, next thing she stops, with her two fingers touching Sasuke's forehead, the next panel she points to her left, and sitting there is Itachi; they are back at the Uchiha hideout, they didn't even fight yet, everything that happened past their encounter was a genjutsu!

[@MEDelekates]

can't say I like the character, but this story made naruto so deep, it makes me like him a lot. Great story

[@_Jay_Maker_]

A character can only be as intelligent or smart as the writer writing them.

[@NameUserOf]

I have to disagree with this. An author has all the time it needs to create both the problem and the solution while his character would solve the problem in a fraction of a time.

The fact that everyone was sh!tting bricks out of fear from Itachi while in these episodes he didn't kill a single person and fled the scene twice, that alone speaks volumes about Kishimoto's writting skills, that's insane!

Did Kishimoto knew all of that by that time tho? 😂

[@iamroshan4818]

Kishimoto gave a lot of hints to itachis true power such as itachi lyingly overestimating jiraya's power to tell kisame when itachi actually 1 shoted a legendary sanin(orochimaru) at the age of 14

[@shiroiakuma3054]

"Itachi was just like standing there" Menacingly ☠️

[@Bharathsimhareddyellanki]

We should not forget that itachi put kisame in his genjutsu from the first moment they met to their depart before fighting with sasuke at uchiha hideout

[@Monsteretrope]

Another small thing is that he always had a legit reason to protect Sasuke (if it was ever needed) due to his lie about needing his eyes in the future.

probably the most ambitious character to write. I mean the author had to think of so many details to make everything make sense but it worked out in the end. imo the best written character in naruto

[@anonymoususer8517]

there is one issue here tho which is that after the attack they later say that naruto wont be attacked for another 3 years which doesnt make sense if its the case with the imbalance either and they also never attacked any other tailed beast until after the time skip essentially the same issue as orbito and killing kushina and minato but a bit less sense due to the time

[@joseantoniogomezrodriguez1724]

I think is because he was always with jiraiya

I feel like this video is takin this further than the author even thought

[@Alpha___00]

Honestly, I don’t like that “Itachi trumps Jiraya” line. If ninjas in Naruto world acted like ninjas (assassinating, not facing their enemies in magical combat), yes, absolutely. Sudden Tsukiyomi is instakill. But in direct one on one fight… Jiraya has counters to every Itachi technique, endurance and chakra on his side. It would be quite an equal fight, resolved by wits, not abilities. And Jiraya is not combat stupid.

[@t-god2439]

vold feet

[@slimelikely335]

I can also see Itachi being Jiraiya’s informant now that you’ve mentioned it, seeing jiraiya infiltrate the Hidden Rain makes you think that was his usual method to get info but I think he went himself cause it was Akatsuki leader he was looking into. I can see Itachi just feeding the rest of the info so that Jiraiya can stay safe and the Leaf keeps some military power

​@@ericLpereira1989 licking*

[@huenguyenthu4783]

Your video is awesome

[@garvmittal2874]

Okay, so there a number of things that need to be added. At the time of Hiruzen's death, Kishimoto have not came up with the idea of Danzo being a villain. So, that's the reason why he did not made an attempt to become the Hokage. Hence, Itachi won't harm anyone in the leaf. Kishimoto added the story and narrative of Danzo being a powerseeker, asshole later. That's point number one. Secondly, it was the perfect time for Itachi to teach Konoha that the Akatsuki is as bad as a nightmare, and without their supreme leader (Hokage), they are surely doomed. So, if we talk about the later part of the series, ie Shippuden, just like you mentioned it was best for Itachi as well as for Konoha to not be raided by any other Akatsuki member. So, it was like a golden opportunity for Itachi to visit the village - to see the condition of the village after fall of Hiruzen; to warn fellow ninjas of Konoha of the existence and strength of the group called Akatsuki (Eg: giving Kakashi like ninjas a preview of what worse can come by putting him under his Tsukuyomi); to see his beloved brother after years & have a check & motivate him to become more powerful to tackle the future challenges he, along with the village, may face; to warn them that sooner some other duo from Akatsuki may come after Naruto & he must be taken care of well, along with some intense training. So yeah, he had a ton of reasons to visit the village, I have mentioned some of them based upon the timeline of the story and manga.

[@justbarkloke5601]

I would've love an au episode where Danzo does get Sasuke, and say gets his sharingan or forces sasuke under massive mental duress to unlock the mangekyo. I'd love to then see Itachi go mama bird and just rage out. The strong, silent but caring types are the scariest when mad. Levi from aot going after the titan that killed Furlan and isabel will always be scary and satisfying.

“Weird” bro. Damn. lol.

[@TheMuscleMan2244]

I disagree that Jiraiya would have no chance against Itachi. I think Kishimoto had Itachi mention Jiraiya in his speech as a way of power scaling. I think the fight would ultimately end with Jiraiya’s death, but Itachi would have to push his Sharingan to near blindness

[@stevesmith7843]

it's really a coinflip, fight could go either way depending on what they do lol..... they're both capable of killing each other, however jiraiya has WAY more chakra, and also the ability to go into sage mode, thus continuously accumulating nature energy (through the toads summoned) while fighting...... whereas itachi doesn't have the chakra necessary nor the light remaining in his eyes, to use his dojutsu all that frequently, whereas jiraiya can summon S level toads repeatedly and at will seemingly..... n that's without sage mode.....

[@shivnerine1]

Crazy thing is he was actually a captain at 12 because the upped his age by a year to let him not seem too young for the anbu

[@seg1912]

Why didn't itachi use genjutsu to pass information to the leaf jonin? He could have pretended to torture them and instead given them the intel on the Akatsuki right there without losing his cover

[@yardenl1998]

0:38 one my favorites panels from the manga. Itachi's menacing sharingan. A shame it didn't appear as such in the anime. Also unlike the anime Itachi looks his age as a teenager when he came back to the village with kisame 1:00. Unlike the anime that he looks like an adult.

[@prodbylou]

One complain that I have about Itachi’s timeline is that all of this only makes sense when you analyze it and look at it in retrospect. It could be said that Itachi was rewritten to fit into all of these scenarios and situations perfectly contrary to the idea that Kishimoto initially wanting Itachi to be this genius hidden hokage since the beginning of Naruto.

[@akhandtripathipyz9888]

I disagree Itachi was shown as villain because at the time, we have to experience the story with Sasuke's perspective Once Sasuke learns the truth, we as readers also learn the truth If it was from Itachi's perspective, none of this would have been scary and would be anticlimactic

[@minfamous5841]

Why it kills me when haters gas up and say he was “scared” of jariya. Bruh he wasn’t trying to kill any of the shinobi he could have killed Kakashi. He left on purpose and gassed up Kissame to make him think fighting jariya was a bad idea. Meanwhile he folded Orochimaru with no effort

[@stevesmith7843]

he never folded orochimaru.... hence how orochimaru is still alive..... lol

[@cayladevelbiss9337]

Great video LOVE Itachi now mind you he used Tsukuyomi on Izumi (his girlfriend first before the massacre started) and both of them living their happiest life inside it for 65 years and then years later he returns to the village and uses it twice and Amaterasu on top of that. Also the reason why Tsukuyomi didn't last as long (for both times) as the first time he used it was because (spoilers for people who haven't seen or read the Itachi novels!) after showing him and Izumi's life together then coming back to reality really took a toll on his body physically and mentally and slowly but surely the side affects of Tsukuyomi made him sick. I personally think that Itachi never meant to use Tsukuyomi on Kakashi because when Itachi was 11 he joined the ANBU and was on Kakashi's team for a while and during that time they grew close. Think about it all the other Uchiha wanted to take Obito's eye because they thought that Kakashi shouldn't have that eye, but Itachi on the other hand didn't seem too worried about it and respected him for it. Maybe he used Tsukuyomi on Kakashi to see how well he's mattered the Sharingan and to make sure he was ready for the Akatsuki so he could protect his little brother and Naruto. I believe that Tsukuyomi was meant for Danzo instead to tell him that he was still alive and to leave both Naruo and Sasuke alone. He also respects Gai as well because he knows how strong he is (which was one of the reasons why he retreated). As for why he wanted to take Kakashi it wasn't just for the Akatsuki he saw Sasuke at the tea shop (the same tea shop him and Izumi went to a lot when they were kids) with Kakashi so Itachi knew that Kakashi would knew where his little brother is and probably Naruo as well Itachi also knew that Kakashi was Sasuke's teacher because when he saw Sasuke do the Chidori for the first time he said "Kakashi taught you that". I think that Itachi wanted to see the power of the curse mark because I think Pein probably told him that Orochimaru gave it to Sasuke. I'm sure Itachi wanted to stay in the village and watch Naruto and Sasuke in the Chunin Exams, but he knew if he did he would of been in bigger trouble than he already was so he left. Itachi didn't do the massacre just for Sasuke's sake he did it for Naruto's as well because he knew that Kurama was inside him and he also knew that his clan wanted that power for themselves to take over the village ( thanks to his father Fugaku showing him the future if the massacre never happened with his Mangekyou) that made him want to protect Naruto more. He saw Naruto at 4 years old and over time Naruto became a second brother to Itachi. The reason why I think Itachi didn't mention Naruto to anyone is because he knew that if he did then people would of taught that he would try to control Kurama with his Mangkyou (like Obito did) and betray the Leaf and probably get kicked out of the Akatsuki and his secret mission to protect his little brother Naruto, and the village from within the shadows would be ruined and Itachi didn't want that.

[@kap1618]

Itachi had such a strong introduction. Orochimaru was bad but he was beefing with children. Which begs the question how strong did Itachi have to be to make Orochimaru avoid him like the plague?
