Random thought: With the Sasuke/Itachi/Kisame encounter that recently occured in the anime, it did come to my mind that if Itachi was indeed blackmailed by Akatsuki, he (on atleast some level) could have been forced into torturing Sasuke since Kisame was standing right there, and as far as Kisame knew, no one was suppost to be living besides Itachi. Afterwards leaving Jiraiya to to force a retreat before Itachi could "finish" with Sasuke. Its possible that Itachi retreated partially because of Sasuke since even Kisame was suprised by the move. Obviously though this is just one giant assumption and shouldn't be taken seriously.

It has to be something like that. I just cant believe that someone would randomly kill most of their family just to check out how strong they are.

Myself I'm not sure if he had a good reason for butchering all those people but theres got to be more than what we've been told so far *is frustrated* I want to know more about Itachis motives!!!

As do i, i think were getting more peices to the puzzle in next chapter....and it seems its supporting our theory, because itachi shows alot of love to sasuke it seems, like a caring brother. I think there was another power involved and he's making sasuke stronger than himself so that he can be an avenger for there clan
