yea, because kishimoto has some diabolical plan to waste as much time as he can. these flashbacks are necessary. live with it.

showing bits and pieces instead of just going all out at the beginning is a more creative and interesting storytelling approach. Besides, maybe back then kishimoto only wanted us to see the cold-blooded killer side. And now at the moment where two paths break away, the story is told at a more in-depth level

I liked the flashback,it showed that Itachi hasnt always been as his now.
The Anbu is the police of leaf right?
I hope for atleast one more chapter of flashback with Itachi and Sasuke before they go back to Naruto and Sasuke.
It is not a waste of time if Itachi is going to show up again soon.Originally posted by: Knives122
But this is a waste of time though they could of did this back when Itachi first appeared in this Manga series, this is just a way to try and build up tension with the fight between Naruto and Sasuke b/c we've been waiting for this for how long like 3 months and this is just a method to waste time(IMO)
What we have seen just seen in the anime is all we have seen of Itachi. I think he is due for another appearance.
no i believe anbu and the police corps are two different groups
otherwise you'd see sasuke's dad wearing a mask, and you'd see anbu guys using the shuriken/uchiha symbol thing
i believe the anbu are used more for international affairs, while the police corps are for internal affairs

i would agree assert. the ANBU are sent after rogue ninja, no matter where they go and probably against high level enemy ninja in the 'bingo' book.
the polic corps is probably for local ninja matters.
Now about the chapter. itachi has a mission on the same day that sasuke is getting into the academy. when itachi offered to go to sasuke's ceremony, by reminding his father did he get his father to NOT go on the mission (so as to attend the ceremony) and in result itachi went on the mission himself?
we dont know why it was so important but i would guess it has to do with the war in which kabuto was adopted. we dont have a good timeline of all the wars, do we? i remember seeing somone having made a timeline but damned if i know where it is now.
I call this a plothole...
from what we've seen so far, the ANBU were guarding the villiage during the chunin 3rd exam, they looked for information and they're in charge of disposal of missing-nins....
that sound like the police for me, and seeing that Itachi was head of the ANBU, it even makes more sense...
I think the ANBU guys wear masks only when they go out on missions, but who knows...
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
itachi time line:
7 - itachi graduates at the top of the academy.
8 - able to use the sharingan.
10 - became a chuunin.
10.5 - 13 - officially became an anbu member.
13 - became anbu captain. itachi massacres the uchiha clan and leaves. sasuke is 7.
18 - itachi returns to konoha as an akatsuki member. sasuke is 13 (or close to it).
this time is based upon the fact that a year has passed since the beginning of the series. i'm not sure where i remember a year being passed but it must've happened if itachi became anbu captain at 13 and since the uchiha massacre happened 5 years ago from the beginning of the series.
Well, since the Uchiha clan was incharge of policing the city and was wiped out, perhaps the ANBU had to expand and take over the internal aswell as the external affairs of Konohas protection.Originally posted by: Death BOO Z

yeah, and the anbu were also around during the chuunin exam because of all the daimyos and ninjas from other villages that were attending
hmm.....it would be cool to see more about that battle where kabuto was at when the konoha medic guy found him

yeah gotwoot has em....although none of them were done by paintpixel this time

that'd be cool if these flashbacks were from itachi's perspective as he watches sasuke and naruto fight. then we could get a better understanding of what happened.
yes in sasuke flashbacks of course itachi is the killer. but this might not be the truth since we havent seen any other perspectives of this i would like to see one of the slayed uchihas perspective on things, that would be the absolute truth about this. oh wait i have another new idea, what if the one who looked like itachi in fact was someone using henge? did you think of that?Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
no matter what.....itachi has to be the person who kills his clan......ESPECIALLY in these flashbacks
because these flashbacks are from sasuke's perspective, and if we see itachi was framed, or didnt actually kill the clan, then that means that sasuke knows that. Therefore contradicting the reason why sasuke is so determined to kill itachi.
if you henge into someone who has sharingan, then i dont think you could perform any of the bloodlimits with your imitation sharingan, especially not mangekyou
And the itachi that sasuke confronted that day used mangekyou on him
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
a while back, there were some people saying things like "itachi is a loser, the people he killed were nobodies" or something like that... i thought i'd just point out that YOU'RE WRONG, ASS. itachi's dad was in a police force! yeah!
