Itachi literally embodied what it meant to be a true Shinobi. He studied history and foresaw the future. He wasn’t just strong and intelligent but extremely wise. He wasn’t perfect but flawed and that is what made him human. All he did was for the Leaf and in return accepted everyone’s hatred without ever complaining. Itachi was a true Shadow Hokage.
It's even crazier when you realize how old he was. I think he was roughly 22 when he died. And it was stated that when he was still a child he had the wisdom of a kage
Amen. He is a true Hero. One who shoulders an extreme burden, even while it hurts the one he holds most dear. He is not doing it for any kind of recognition, but because he firmly stands for noble ideals which he sacrifices every ounce of his being for. Many people judge Sasuke for being an edgy avenger after he realizes what his brother had gone through for the leaf, but let's be real: This isn't a kind of Trauma one can be expected to just process without flying of the handle for at least a while
It wasn't just for the Leaf, it was for the peace of the world itself. Even acknowledging himself as a Leaf shinobi would be an entitlement that they are somehow uniquely more deserving of peace than every other nation. What Itachi strove for wasn't just for the Leaf village I imagine, but that would be a small step in eventually reaching prosperity for everyone. But that would have been a lofty goal at best, so he wanted to start where he could. Not even with the Leaf village but his own clan, to see if he could convince them somehow not to wage a coup, but they were so prideful about their prior standing as "equal forces" to the Leaf that they always saw themselves as separate from it. The Uchiha couldn't acknowledge themselves as a part of the village (not that Danzo, Hirusen, the second hokage, or the village elders helped...) because of their pride, and that pride would have resulted in yet another great ninja war as a fractured leaf village would surely be seized upon by rival nations. itachi was right, if he had worked with Sasuke when Sasuke was a kid maybe things could have been different. Maybe Fugaku and the rest of the Uchiha could have seen the potential of their children becoming an accepted part of the Leaf and changing how the Leaf saw the Uchiha. Who knows
Each of us lives, dependent and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness. All that is what we call reality. However, both knowledge and awareness are equivocal. One's reality might be another's illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies.
Itachi was the wises, as a Lord Third said, even from a very young age, Itachi thought like a hokage, he was not blocked by the trapping of the clan. Itachi should have been the Fourth Hokage, but, I guess the village wasn't ready for that yet. Or fate had said otherwise. We'll never know. Itachi the Wise
He's warning his brother of "the real enemy" in code, this warning although unintended, also applys to Kaguya and Blk Zetsu, bc it is the ninja world's assumption and preconception that they couldn't coexist and the assumption of the Uchiha to believe in a relic that would lead to their salvation, when it was in fact the corner stone of their suffering and enevitable extinction. Aswell as the people of Kaguya's time to assume, she was gone. This was the Sage's prime mistake, which costed him Indra, and spurnned the curse of hatred alongside the Uchiha. Because Itachi often pondered and dared to question the world, and his own prowess with illiusions gave him an unrivaled understanding of the inner workings of lies and deceptions, without realizing it, he was without a doubt the closest to uncovering the devil in the detail. Who was indirectly an obstacle to Black Zetsu by being an obstacle two his prime piece pawns, the Uchiha (by nearly whiping them out he knew they were out of line and weak minded and too dangerous for the village as a whole, reluctantly agreeing with the second, which is an understatemnt, concedering they posed a threat to the world.), Obito, and Madara. In the source's statement. Himself, Shisui, and eventually Sasuke were the only ines to vanquish the curse of hatred. The latter could only do it after Itachi's influence, whilst the former found it through his support. With that being said, also accepting his failure but leaving Naruto and Sasuke with his will specifically to douse the silent ones machinations. As Black Zetsu said, it came down to inheritance of wills, unfortunately for him, Naruto's and Sasuke's will was Itachi the prodigy. There's way too much to say about Itachi, his depth is unreal and makes me forget I'm watching Naruto, no offense.
Each of us lives dependent and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness all that is wat we call reality however bot h knowledge and awareness are equivocal ones reality might be another's illusion we all live in our on fantasies don't true to do everything by urself u are stronger than before u have much more power, but as a result u seemed to lose sight from something extremely important u must remember. U know why the people in the leaf stop hating and fearing u u know why they accepted u as one of their own it's bc u showed them that u understood them and u fought for their acceptance u just said everyone who cares about u helped u get where u are if u forget about everyone else bc u now have power you'll bc arragont and egotistical however powerful u are don't take it all on urself bc if u do u will surely fail u believe I had a hand on this don't u like a said before appearances and preconceptions aren't going to tell u anything for instance you've made the mistake of assuming I'm a patient man THE CLAN THE CLAN u overestimate ur own abilities with no idea of the depth of my own and look at u now groveling in the dirt obsessed with the organization's,obsessed with the clan obsessed with our lineage a worthless composure that enslaves us all that does is limit out capabilities and that in turn lead us to fear wat u don't understand I have my own duties to fulfil that's all to reach the next level I have had enough of this there's no hope left for this pathetic clan the people of this can are all the same u focus on the trival and lost sight of wats important change is impossible in this fog of ignorance how cane evolve when regulation is the only thing we're ever known(ur welcome nvm I just wanna write the whole thing tbh lol😅)
The first quote is solipsism. But I get the idea regardless. However, Itachi is wrong in that. There is TRUTH and REALITY. It's just that not every one of us are blessed to know it. Those who do, knows the Truth and Reality. Those who do not, live their lives in a lie. Just like Itachi did and many other characters. The second quote would be better if the uploader left the most important part be heard. "Just like I did" because Itachi speaks from his experience and it hits a nail in the coffin.
@@mac5794 It's rather obvious. What HE believed in. He didn't know THE truth. It was simply from his PoV. He did what HE thought was right. Not WHAT was right.
Well then what should he do sit underneath a tree and meditate for it? Isn't this how we live life as soon as we act on it, that becomes our "PoV" and not the truth ?? Truth is subjective. That is truth.
@@mac5794 Truth isn't subjective, that's solipsism. In a nutshell, that's "My truth". Truth is very REAL and out there. It's hidden knowledge from public eye. Also, Itachi wasn't obliged to do anything. He chose to do something based on his beliefs. Hence my comment.
@@mabussubam512 Itachi wasn't a scientist you do understand that ? Nor was he a hermit to sit down and meditate for the so called truth. Your very argument about this also makes you solipsistic.
