Matako wrote: I really think not correcting the strongly assumed theory that a member of the Uchiha clan killed his entire clan voluntarily is the worst thing you can do to keep a clan's name clean. By not revealing it, he'd pollute the name of the Uchiha clan. By revealing the truth, however, he would merely lower the reputation of the Root. And the Root lost its head a long time ago with Danzou's death. Konoha has an entirely new political system. At the time when Itachi was still alive, revealing the truth would have been against his will. But at the time where the Root ceased to exist several years ago, it could hardly be against Itachi's will. the roblem is that if he revelas itachis true reason than he will also need to say that the clan wanted to rebel against konoha, it wouldnt benefit uchihas and konoha alike but clean itachis name from "villian who killed the uchiha clan" to "ninja who killed his clan since it was his orders" ^_^
