so.. and in the intro we see someone who looks a bit like Itachi trying to steal Sasuke's(?) Sharingan.
if I put two and two together now -> Itachi is encouraging Sasuke because he wants to harvest his eyes! this would be so cool.
edit: heck, I rewatched the scene when Itachi kills his clan (AMV-version)
"Hate me, detest me... and one day, when you have the same eyes I do, come before me!"
edit2: btw, most of you might have the same idea already, I didn't read all the posts from the last ~3 episodes :/
so meh' sorry if it's common knowledge.
