So if your a fan of Naruto and watch or read it you will probuarily know about the Uchiha massacre, at first it seemed like Itachi did this on his own but it's later proven that know other than the legendary Madara Uchiha (also known as Tobi) helped him.
Previously the day before Itachi's best friend, Shisui, was murdered and this was the night Itachi obtained the mangekyou sharigan. This gives evidence that Itachi did kill his friend, but this may not be. Many people think that Madara killed Shisui and thats when Itachi got his mangekyou sharigan. This could be true since Kakashi Hatake did not kill his friend Obito Uchiha but later developed the mangekyou sharigan because of his deaf.
Though Itachi has done a lot of sins, taking out the Uchiha clan (with Madara) we still don't know if he is actuarily evil. With the new release of Naruto manga chapter 397, it makes the matter even more confusing. As madara states that Sasuke knows nothing of the life of Itachi and that Itachi risked everything to save the leaf village and his brother. To make it more complicated Itachi also transferred all of his sharigan powers into Sasuke, and his Amaterasu, before he died, Madara says this is to project Sasuke from Madara. This is also confirmed by the Amaterasu, that Itachi concealed inside Sasuke, when it was activated at the site of Madara's sharigan (it consumed him, Madara, in the black flames), this was a projection Itachi gave to his brother against Madara.
For Evil:
[list][*]He killed his clan
*He joined Akatuski
*He let Madara take Shisui's life
For Neutral:
*He didn't kill his brother, though this could be because he wanted Sasuke's mangekyou sharigan eyes so that he would not go blind
For Good:
*He didn't kill anyone in his infiltration of Konoha.
*He gave his sharigan powers to Sasuke
*He tried to protect Sasuke from Madara
Does this mean Itachi is really a good ninja? What do you think will happen in the next chapter?
I think that the next chapter will be a kind of flash back into Itachi's past, to see what he was really like.
By the way the Next chapter won't be released until the 25th of April.
