i cant read this. i read the 4th hokage thing and then the first sentence of the itachi thing. so basicly you're a sasuke fanboy. why would 4th want to expand the biggest ninja village in the world any further? and why would he contact s class criminals? and how could he ask itachi to join him when he is dead? its just to many holes in the first theory so its not even worth wasting time on reading the rest.

okay. just took the time to read this since im waiting for my food to be ready. seriously do you think the 4th was an asshole like you say he was? and the youma arent controlled by anyone they appear when they want to. 4th cant possibly control this. however the itachi thing sounds sane in some ways i believe he was set up but not by 4th hokage. i dont want to go further into this since i dont have a complete theory yet. the most believable theory on kakashi is that he had a friend with an eye who died so he took it as a memory or something. so some small things sounds sane but the rest is the opposite the whole yondaime asshole theory is just insane.
