When Itachi came to warn Danzō that he better not touch his precious little brother, because he'd beat his arse up, he ate dango at the local shop in broad daylight whilst wrapped up in Akatsuki cloak (because he's the smartest, duh!) and wept under his Solo straw-hat at the sight of Sasuke, 'cause he loved him—or something. Naturally, Danzō was super terrified of Solo-King, so he went about his daily business of having wet dreams about his Sword Totsuka; however, Itachi was having none of that cock and bull rubbish! To show Danzō how much his Solo-King heart cared for Sasuke, he beat up a child of thirteen, put him under Tsukuyomi for twenty-four hours (just to make sure that he cared enough!), and drove him into a coma that nearly killed him, from which only his Uchiha genes saved him! By God! Have you ever heard of anything so fucking genius in your entire life?! Isn't he so fucking "es-pah-shal" and smart?! Oh my Gosh! And everywhere cunt-ish ItaSaku pairing lovers and Itachi's cock-suckers, of which many are status-quo-endorsing-theme lovers and peak Capitalist White Feminists like Evil is a Relative Term, ejaculated collectively into their Solo-King pillow, which is half-cushy now with filth from their fat bums and cocks and cunts; but they keep it nice and gooey 'cause it makes them self-insert into Sakura's (or whatever other sow services his cock daily, nightly) place to fuck super forward-thinking Fascist-Regime supporters like Solo-King and feel thrice as woke! The feels—the feels! I'm not crying!
To save Sasuke, he placed Sasuke in a coma! That'd show Leaf and Danzō! Can anyone even think of a character this tragic and trillion-dimension-ed and complex?! It's as if he was penned by Tolstoy himself. Why, trying to understand him is like trying to pass an elephant through a sewing needle's eye. You'd require special "galaxy brain" Solo-King mental powers to process this piece of tur—munchkin! You see, he's as smart as the self-inserting ItaSaku shippers for he treats her well, and that's all what matters! Who the fuck cares if he shoved his sword up some little girls or boys? Can't you see that he's pretty?! He's got super long lashes, a slack womanly jaw (which is claimed to be super manly by his wankers compared to Sasuke's who's practically a kid and barely seventeen at the end of manga save the last chapter), and a soft ponytail that sways like his imaginary cartoon cock. No body this pretty should have to go through what Itachi did! No fucking body! (A wanker weeps in hysterics!) With a heavy heart, he fucked up every man, woman, and child! Do you even know the kind of burden he fucking faced?! His fans "relate" to murdering psychopaths like him, O-K?! (His shipping female-fans that admire his contributions to and make excuses for his committing a genocide are like those loopy sociopaths that write love letters to serial killers and rapists in prison!)
Because Canon Itachi wasn't bad enough, you've got Fanon Sakura's-vagina-makes-me-cry (!) Herbivore Itachi!
Most Fan-Fictions on this lunatic focus on pedestrian-level Itachi-syndrome victim-hood complex psychology (rest of it is well-covered by mundane fluff), which many a female writer have a fucking PHD in. Not even Kishimoto was this well-versed in this side-field of PTSD melodrama of genocide players (in which the perpetrators of heinous crimes are misunderstood, weepy, and mopey hotties of the tight-arse, long-lashes, long pony-tails, and tortured-soul-hottie variety). His coloured wig anime-wanker game for Solo-King Psychology was too low!
Itachi: Uchiha had to change. I did no wrong!
Fangirls: Hysterical hair-tearing and breast-beating crying! "This poor, poor (super hot) tragic guy! Oh My Gosh!" Screams rising into the sky as they rip off their roomy trousers, brassieres, and shit-smeared knickers in grief!
Itachi would beat up Sasuke in the name of vagina (he just never got the chance to find "true Wub"!)!
Last but not least, we've got these Itachi-loving rabid pack of Sakura wankers who ship them together, because he'd totes take interest in her if he ever interacted with her—never mind the fact that she's the only character in the entire manga that he came across but didn't even bother addressing as if she was a complete non-entity (he addressed every other person by name). Why? Who knows. His wankers are as mental as he is; but fucking hell, no, he won't beat up Sasuke in the name of Sakura's vagina—not in a trillion years!
As utterly idiotic as Itachi's character is, he's never putting vagina on the same pedestal as Konoha that he didn't put on the same pedestal as Sasuke's life. He killed all of his lovers—every single one! Yes, he had lovers (plural, not singular, according to VIZ translation), and he killed all of them in the name of the government. What makes a self-inserter's vagina so "es-pha-shal"? It's a mystery to me.
He was under KA's command when Sasuke told him that he'd blow up this Leaf's cock-milk-drinking dervish's Leaf. Kotoamatsukami (KA) is a very powerful Genjutsu. It completely traps the person's mind and rewrites a command over his present convictions or mental state and makes them do its bidding. This was the Genjutsu Itachi had reserved for Sasuke. Mind you, it doesn't fade away as Itachi stated, which is why Kabuto intended to rewrite the Fuda in Itachi's head; he also stated that a command ("protect Konoha") had been "overlaid" the Edo Tensai (ET) command; hence, the reason why it had to be physically rewritten by Kabuto, and which is why he tried to do so repeatedly during his battle with the Uchiha siblings.
Now, this command was active the entire time Itachi was chased by Sasuke; Naruto had already told him of Sasuke's intentions to harm Konoha and Sasuke told Itachi himself that he was going to destroy Konoha, as well. For all intents and purposes, Itachi, despite his convictions, should have struck Sasuke down no matter how much he loved him—just as ET made him do Kabuto's bidding despite his Jingoistic tendencies.
He didn't do anything. Instead, he stated that "... but I want to impart at least this much truth to you: you don't ever have to forgive me. And no matter what you do from here on out, know this, I will love you always." If the character himself is stating that he's telling the "truth" and will "lie" no longer, then there's no need to flip-flop around this. He's admitted that he values Sasuke's life far more than the zealot in him that craves Konoha's supremacy (Sasuke's free-will or mental stability is a completely different matter, of course, which he doesn't value one bit!). Also, don't look at Danzō's use of KA: it was quite terrible as Sharingan will work best with an Uchiha as they are "genetically adapted" to utilise the eyes to their full capacity (Mifune broke through Danzō's KA through a simple interruption in conversation whilst Itachi's use of KA cancelled out ET; and Kabuto kept trying throughout the battle to re-write the ET Fuda inside Itachi's head). That should be the end of that.
His "always (continuous, without end, endless in the context as not only is it delivered by a spirit but it's also used in the manner that talks about the unending nature of the emotion)" also matters as it's a statement on "continuous rebirths" that lays it thick on the highest form of "love (aishiteru in Japanese—pinnacle of "ai")" used by him. According to a famous Japanese saying: "one lifetime for the child; two for the wife; three for the Lord." Basically, Itachi's talking about endless rebirths to be with Sasuke. Come the fuck on! A vagina of all the things beats this?! Why does this site drip thickly with fucking virgins or thumb-suckling pillocks with fuck-less lives? Open a damned book on Mystic Philosophy (that covers this subject quite extensively), after closing the tab with Solo-King Philosophy quotes for bellends, and stop writing this embarrassing cock-and-bull diddling rubbish, without self-awareness. Itachi isn't real. He isn't going to fuck his wanker—ever!—so his wankers can stop weeping into a fat Itachi cos-player's knickers. It'd only lead to heartache.
Then we have these statements from the Databook IV, too:
"Personality: 性格 弟想い, 自己犠牲的= Feelings/thoughts of younger brother, self-sacrifice.
The two of them had a close relationship as siblings in the distant past, (and so) Itachi watches, as he should protect Sasuke (with his existence?), (and) came to keep him away from the harsh truth. However, now as his younger brother became an adult shinobi and was abandoned, his older brother informed Sasuke of everything. Continuously covering up with fiction/fabrications, together with genuine/true 'Love'…"
Fangirls: Itachi would beat up Sasuke in the name of Sakura's (a self-insert's) vagina! He'd shove his head so far in that he'd see true light, get cleansed, know truest love!
Itachi already shares true love (true love, at its root, has never been about romantic love) with Sasuke. Sasuke, no one else, was always on his mind. That's canon. He's a loony bellend, but that's a distinctive part of his character; so, no, he's not going to put Sakura's vagina (or any other damned vagina) anywhere near Sasuke. Kindly, stop suggesting that this Itachi's In-Character. He isn't. He isn't going to punish Sasuke for anything, certainly not a weepy twat, if he didn't intend on punishing him for nuking Leaf whilst the damned "protect Konoha" command was active. He didn't care that Sasuke would destroy Konoha, a village for which he murdered his whole clan; but he'd put aside Sasuke for a vagina—the same Sasuke for whom he made the aforementioned statements of endless rebirths, for whom he butchered his whole clan, for whom he was willing to sacrifice the whole of Leaf, for whom he chose a (fitting) dog's death riddled with illness that ended in a pre-planned suicide? Come on! (I get it that this site hosts a congregation of virgins or people who get very little sex, but this is . . . sad; not everyone's so sickly dependent on this first-world-problem romantic co-dependent relationship; many people world-over don't value romance to this degree; Itachi, as a character, certainly doesn't; love exists in different forms, and one form can be felt more intensely by an individual than other forms.) He's a figment of a self-inserting twat's imagination that comes out of Yomi, fucks Sakura in graveyards, and then they achieve "spirituality (that's where an average shipper's knowledge begins and ends: divine cocks and their fated destinations and the karmic sacredness of exchanging bodily fluids, sometimes, urine!)" and Nirvana together, like it's no body's business; and, believe you me, there's a whole one-shot dedicated to this high-end spiritualism, dug from a freshly squeezed out cow-dung. (People should read a bit on Spiritualism, for a lot of the twats on Fan-Fiction are woefully intellectually bankrupt, and no one's buying this thinly veiled self-insert's melodrama to be mounted by a cartoon.)
I'm not even against pairings or an out-of-character Itachi. It's the frothing-at-the-mouth wankers that take this Fanon as Canon-Gospel and fight tooth-and-nail over it that are truly self-parodical. Also, apparently, he switches over his "object of obsession" from Sasuke to Sakura, and suddenly, he's the mature-est man in the whole wide world! Does that make any sense? It doesn't! (Let's stop pretending that an average Sakura wanker isn't cut from the same cloth as an average self-inserting harem-loving Naruto wanker.) There's no need to come up with pointless justifications and Fan-Fictions with a million-trillion, sexually-charged, whole-hand-in-cunt inspired pointless words as to how Itachi would totally fuck a self-insert in her every orifice (and generously empty out his well-accumulated filth) after bullying Sasuke, because he wasn't good to her (Sakura), and make Sasuke see what a "special" woman Sakura is! He won't care who Sasuke bullied. He wouldn't spare a single slow-flying fuck for her (people bullied her forehead, yo!) super-tragic ordeal, or anyone else's from Leaf. (Sasuke could butcher her and the entire Leaf, and Itachi still wouldn't care!) In fact, had Itachi known that Sakura tried to kill Sasuke, he'd have shoved a sword up her cunt, too, with no remorse in this life or life after. (No, really, that's canon!) Repeat after me: Sakura's vagina doesn't register nor make any dastardly wind-farting, odour-sputtering blips on his radar in comparison to Leaf, let alone Sasuke, for whom he was fully willing to destroy the very same village he did everything for, for whom he disregarded a command that cancelled out Edo-Tensai, for fuck's sake! What's she sporting down there, a decent-functioning vagina or an Eldritch Lovecraftian Horror that no man can escape (against which Itachi's cosmic rebirth ideology still wins out, quite comfortably, as he desires to stay within the "Realm of Desire/Rebirth" and not leave and achieve peace in the "Outer Form-less Realm" simply to be reborn with Sasuke endlessly, but it's all joke-y, so it's a'right), because, let's face it, that's what these Fan-Fictions make it seem like? Write it on your fore-head if you don't trust your head!
(As these Fan-Fictions would have you believe, validation, self-worth, stature of female characters utterly hinge upon male characters giving them a good dicking, thereby acknowledging their self-worth, giving them confidence, adding to their existence that's woefully incomplete without rare-breed cocks that should come custom-tailored for lonely pedestrian girls these writers adore projecting on. If it isn't Sasuke, it has to be another Uchiha! If it isn't an Uchiha, and your wanker has reached a soccer-mum's age, it has to be Kakashi. Kishimoto, you sexist pig! Why didn't you make one validate Sakura through his ultra-rare power-over-nine-thousand Uchiha-cock? That'd have ended this whole mess!)
And he went straight to (Shinto) hell!
Oh, yes, good ol' cutie-pie Pacifist Solo-King went straight to Yomi after his death according to the Databook IV:
"Aiding the village multiple times, dying his hands in the blood of his fellow brethren, without glory/reputation, on his own terms, (he) left this world. Bearing dishonour/infamy instead, (he) entrusted that wish in death….However, even after he began a journey to the Realm of the Dead, he was not visited by a peace of mind in himself."
"幾度も里を救い、 その手を同胞の血で染め、 英名無きままこの世を去った。汚名を被るも後進に希望を託した死。。。しかし、黄泉に旅立った後ですら、 彼に心の安らぎは訪れなかった。。。"
黄泉 is "Yomi" in Japanese Mythos:
"Izanagi went to the land of the darkness, Yomi-tsu-kuni, the underworld, to seek his wife. When he found her, at the dark entrance of the underworld and shrouded in shadows, he said, "Oh, my beloved spouse, we have not finished making the lands. You must come back!" She backed away and warned Izanagi not to look at her. It was too late. Izanami had already "eaten at the hearth," meaning she had eaten the food of the underworld.
She said, however, that she would ask the gods of Yomi if she could return to earth and said again that Izanagi must not look upon her. But while she was away, he grew impatient and curious. A long time passed. He wanted so strongly to see his wife again that he broke off a tooth from the comb in his hair and used it as a torch. He went into the room where Izanami had gone and saw at once that she was a rotted corpse full of squirming maggots. Izanagi was afraid and fled, but Izanami was angry at his having shamed her. She sent after him the hags of Yomi. Izanagi threw down the vine that held his hair and it bore grapes, which the hags stopped and ate. When they pursued him again, he pulled out the comb from his hair and threw it down.
This time it bore bamboo shoots. Again the hags stopped and ate. Izanagi fled again, waving his sword behind him. He threw three peaches at his pursuers (which by now included the hags, the warriors of Yomi, and eight thunder deities that had formed in Izanami's body) and asked them to save him, which they did. Izanami herself chased after him then, but he escaped and moved a huge rock to block the pass between them. They broke their wedding vows, divorcing. Izanami swore that she would kill 1,000 people a day, and Izanagi swore that he would cause 1,500 births each day, accounting for human mortality and for population increase. Izanami became kami of the world of death. It is not a place of punishment or judgment in Shinto myth, but a place of darkness, decay, and pollution (in the sense of ritual uncleanliness)."
(Note: This is also the place for the Blood-Pool: a place where Izanami ended, who'd become a putrefying mass of flesh, riddled with insects and writhing with worms.)
So a lump of totes hot shit (because a pretty tragic guy like Itachi can't eject out regular stool, without Solo-King's savour to enchant a wanker's loins, now can he? 'Course not!) like Itachi ended up in the soul-hierarchy gutters? Fitting!
