sasuke: u did nothing wrong
itachi: hey it's actually really fucking concerning that you think that. i was objectively a horrible brother and the fact that i loved you the whole time secretly doesn't change that. i did what i thought was right but that doesn't make it any less fucked up, and you definitely didn't deserve it. i failed to treat you like a person with your own thoughts and beliefs and instead tried to push my own agenda on you. i traumatized you more than anyone else, and i did most of it knowingly and purposefully. you don't owe me gratitude or forgiveness or anything else. just know that i love you no matter what and i hope you can find happiness in spite of what i did to you.
people with incredible reading comprehension just phenomenal abilities to comprehend the reading: why sassgay not gargle leaf balls
i always forget about this scene, where itachi refutes the fact that he made the right choice regarding the massacre.
(even though he still identifies as itachi of konohagakure because the will of fire i mean brainwashing is too strong)
no matter how much itachi loved sasuke, he manipulated him, just like how the village manipulated itachi. the fact is that the rot cycles back to konoha.
#naruto#naruto shippuden#uchiha sasuke#sasuke was right#i love itachi but he was a pos and he was aware of it#kinda nuts to me that people try to act like itachi was a good person when even itachi never tried to do that#at no point did itachi go ''and this is why i'm winning the world's best brother award. sasuke are you listening''#itachi became a monster - and he was a tragic monster to be very clear a 12/13yo being pushed into genocide is tragic - but he knew that#he wasn't unaware of what he'd done. he just didn't realize how badly he'd fucked up his own plans#when he talked to naruto after his revival he got a huge wake-up call about it#i think learning of sasuke's new goal was the turning point for itachi's character (posthumously but still)#he never got a chance to unlearn everything bc. he was dead. but he did realize that he'd fucked up big time#and he knew he owed sasuke an apology. and more than that he owed him what he'd spent so long denying him: honesty#itachi's lies and manipulations made sasuke into the person he is. but itachi realized that didn't mean he got to try and 'fix' him#it just meant that he'd fucked up. and he demonstrates that newfound understanding by giving sasuke the truth and trusting him with it#''no matter what you do from now on i will always love you'' was for both of them#sasuke so he could know that he didn't need to live his life around itachi. and itachi so he could show his growth as a (dead) person#i love them so much#itachi saying ''no. i was shitty. don't make excuses for me'' was something i think sasuke really needed to hear

#not but seriously if he was spying then. he was really fucking bad at it. like what info did he pass on. no one knew shit about fuck#maybe he really DID pass on info but his communication skills were so bad he accidentally made people know less about the akatsuki
#itachi: btw i was gonna brainwash u. kluvubaiiiiiii#sasuke: welp. not dealing with that anytime soon
#tobi tells them about itachi afterwards and sasuke is the only one who cares#naruto: holy shit#sasuke: my brother...#sakura: damn glad we killed him what a loser#sasuke: sakura. my brother#sakura: YOUR COMRADES COME BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT SASUKE WE KNOW THIS#sasuke: MY BROTHER SAKURA#naruto is too focused on keeping them from killing each other to really think about it#kisame and suigetsu are fighting with swords some more. karin and juugo are watching with popcorn#zetsu is wondering if anyone will notice if he nibbles on itachi's corpse while they argue#they still decide to avenge the uchiha clan tho. sakura is just very vocally doing it for everyone who isn't itachi#naruto thinks she should get over it. like sasuke loves him again so it's fine right#then itachi gets edo tensei'd and naruto immediately tries to kill him again#he stops after itachi brainwashes himself free but only bc it would make sasuke sad#sasuke: we're team taka now. also i love my brother again and miss him and we're killing the government#karin suigetsu and juugo: okie-dokie boss#naruto and sakura: *still firmly members of the itachi hate club*#itachi asks naruto to keep the truth of the massacre hidden and naruto punches him again#then supports sasuke making him a hero out of spite#itachi in the afterlife: this is not what i asked for#the entire uchiha clan: oh gosh we feel soooo bad for you tell us more#(for the record. i love itachi. this will not stop me from dangling him off a cliff by the ankle for dumbass bitch crimes)
#crispin freeman get out of my bedroom
#kinda nuts to me that people try to act like itachi was a good person when even itachi never tried to do that#at no point did itachi go ''and this is why i'm winning the world's best brother award. sasuke are you listening''
#i can tell what she's thinking here...#''man itachi is really bad at getting rid of people. i'm fine kabuto's fine sasuke-kun is doing wonderful...''#''maybe itachi peaked at sixteen''
#dammit itachi people had questions
#orochimaru: i'm in sasuke's body!#sasuke: gross#orochimaru: not sexually. don't worry i'm only sexually attracted to the amount of problems i can cause for other people#sasuke: oh that's fine then#itachi: no the fuck it isn't how dare you put something strange and horrible in my little brother's body#orochimaru: wow you're right it's really fucked up of me to completely ignore his autonomy and expect him to follow my personal agenda#itachi:#orochimaru:#itachi: NIGHTMARE JAIL FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!!!!!!!#sasuke: what just happened#itachi: don't worry about it. help me kill myself#sasuke: what#itachi: i said gimme ur eyeballs
#look i may not have been the best big brother. but i'm not itachi#that's something#i love him so much

#i love itachi he's so fucking stupid#love how so many naruto characters are introduced as ''he's.... a GENIUS'' and then we find out they're dumb as shit
#he subjected himself to this. on purpose#itachi: the akatsuki is like my family#tobi: awwww#itachi: in that i one day hope to slaughter you all#tobi: hey bitch i did like 90% of ur job for u
#i mean. yeah#remember that moment when we learned the truth about the uchiha massacre and we were like idk twelve so we thought itachi was awesome#and then we grew up and went ''ohhhhh yeah no he's still a piece of shit he's just also sad''#itachi is so stupid i love him
#itachi has unlocked: self-awareness
i'm so mean to him. and for what
