Itachi is famous.
He did not see why it was so important to live a life of righteousness, did not understand what harm there was in being the bad guy.
Like any other ninja, he could have gone down with the best of them, been engraved for eternity in a rock and when someone's eyes scanned over his name they could say "oh, look, another Uchiha" and move on and know that he was great for that brief moment.
But that wasn't enough.
Instead of a rock he gets scrolls, chapters, all of which are on him and sometimes only him. His stats and rank are memorized by each member of the ANBU squad. He's one of those people that parents warn other parents not to let their kids grow up to be like.
This, he knows, is the recognition he deserves.
