itachi threw a shuriken at sasuke in sasuke's flashback
i just thought of something that would be really badass.....
if sasuke reaches itachis level at some point and develops the mangekyou sharingan as well, then that would be cool if he uses it to counter itachi's and then both end up in that dimension where both of them can manipulate time, space, and matter....and then a whole elaborate battle could take place in that dimension, while in real life it only lasted for a fraction of a second

you never know maybe we will see that someday, itd be awesome because theyd both probably use some outrageous moves. thatd probably be one of the best action scenes in an anime if it happened.
Honestly, i think Itachi did kill his clan, however just how the way kishimoto does it all makes it a little mysterious.Originally posted by: Mut@t@
i'm really sorry to say this but... that's sooo stupid. protection? what protection? itachi leaves the village for 5 years only to return and kick people's asses... where does his 'protection' come in? and the thing with sasuke seeking itachi... my response to #1 and 2: WHY DON'T SASUKE AND ITACHI TRAIN TOGETHER SO THEY CAN GO AFTER THE REAL KILLER?Originally posted by: originalkrn
Because if someone else killed his clan for the sharingan and Itachi was only trying to protect them, Sasuke will go after that someone else and that somone else will most likely kill him. This will allow Itachi to have some sort of protection over Sasuke because if Sasuke seeks Itachi, he will either:1. Be stronger than Itachi and Itachi won't have to worry about the someone else killing Sasuke for the sharingan or 2. Be weaker than Itachi - and Itachi will not kill him, but instead motivate Sasuke to become stronger. And if Itachi didn't tell the entire town that he killed the clan, then Sasuke will obviously find out and go after the "real killer".
omg, i can't believe you guys are thinking so deeply into this. unbelievable.
That shiruken that itachi threw was obviously not meant to kill Sasuke. Itachi would not miss a Shiruken at Sasuke.
i still stand by this...Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
i would agree that not directly showing itachi kill anyone could lead to possibilities that he didnt actually do it......and its always good to analyze minor details like that, because they can be taken advantage of in the future.....but the way i see it, those details were probably omitted because the mangekyou sharingan in itself unfolds that part of the story. It would be redundant for the animators to show itachi kill his parents and then show him kill his parents AGAIN to sasuke in the mangekyou
if they showed itachi killing everyone, then how annoying would it be to see it all again when he used the mangekyou on sasuke?
the reason itachi didnt kill sasuke with the shuriken was the same reason he let sasuke live
but the point that itachi would even wound sasuke if he didnt kill the other clan members i think is what terracosmo tried to point out

Hmm, I can't seem to remember if I have posted in this thread or not. Probably not because I don't remember doing so.
Anyway, I got Naruto 84 as recently as 2 days ago and finally was able to have the time to watch it. I thought that this episode explained a lot about Sasuke's hatred for, and his determination to kill, his brother Itachi. Even though the flashback was pretty long, I'm just glad that it finally took place because for some time, until like 40 eps ago or so, I wasn't sure as to why Sasuke was determined to kill his own brother. Then you learn that his brother killed off the Uchiha clan of course, but then this flashback in 84 shows you what Sasuke saw and then what Itachi forced him to see.
How friggin horrible is that for a little kid to go through, especially when he held his brother in such high regards only to have it come crashing down in a single moment. And I personally thought that Itachi's reason for killing those people was plain bull crap myself. I mean, come on, if you wanted to test yourself, you don't slaughter innocents and those you know who are not as strong as you are.
Don't even get me started on that Chakra eating, shaving sword that the fish faced partner (I sorta forgot his name...I don't know how, but I did) has. That is pure bull crap there. I mean, come on, the thing was friggin huge and it had scales to boot!! Did the writers have to make it eat up Chakra as well??
The whole Jiraiya thing, though, was pretty funny at the end when he saved Naruto and Sasuke's bum's just in the nick of time. How he explains that he is the best at peeping on women and then trying, himself, to seduce the women and so on. That was hilarious because I thought that he was thinking way too highly of his own interpersonal skills with women.
Okay, enough with what I thought though. In short this ep gets a great 2 thumbs up from me and then some. I do have one question though, if anyone is willing to answer it. I know that Jiraiya and Naruto are looking for some woman, but I forgot her name. If anyone can help me out with the name that would be fine. Thanks!!
the name's Tsunade, of the 3 legendary sannin

Ah yes, thank you very much for the answer to that question....Sometimes I just can't keep them all straight in my head.
Sorry if this has been said I don't feel like scouring this thread. Maybe Itachi didn't mean testing his abilities as a ninja, maybe he ment seeing if he was capable of slautering his own village, seeing how much of a monster he could be. Capable of being a fucking psycho.
no, it was a test of his strength.
i think itachi killed his clan without a doubt..although i could be wrong..but the reason i think was to test his strength..not on the clan members he killed .. but on the future sasuke..i think he thought..to test his true strength..the only ones valid enough would have to be from his clan..and who better then his own blood...he killed them all and showed sasuke that to, as they said. hate him.detest him.ect ect..so in time he would grow stronger and then can test itachis true strength..
could you say your thought was without a doubt if you follow it with "although i could be wrong"?

What if Itachi is just trying to save the village. Maybe the clan is planning some kind of rebellion or take over. Being the anbu leader he killed all the clan to protect the village. Their father said Itachi is different from us or think different
