No, Itachi just murdered his entire family (minus Sasuke) to attain the third tomoe Sharingan and further leading into attaining Mangekyou Sharingan.Originally posted by: Divinity
Kakashi's story and how he got the Sharingan just makes him that much cooler. Also, the fact that he has only one Sharingan, and he covers it up with his headguard makes his character look the more cooler and more badass.
Itachi.... Blah, he's an Uchiha so he has Sharingan. Nothing special about that. He was BORN with the bloodline, he didn't obtain it.
But I really don't get why test it on your clan... Kishi should've added some more story into this. All we got was that Itachi wanted to test his limits, but that's a bit dull to me. Unless I missed some stuff.
Anyways, I just think Kakashi is cooler the way his character looks and the fact that he was already a genius ninja and then adding on the Sharingan just makes him a lot better.
