@Legion the Boruto movie is on that timeline, and the Boruto movie now is superseded by the Manga which changed a bunch of things. Thatd doesnt invalidate the rest of the timeline. The manga/anime may have overwrote the movie but they are still referencing the novels.

So really, the timeline is just saying where a story took place within the main story. But they're separate stories. If its not part of the timeline, it wouldnt be placed in the timeline. It doesnt make sense for the company to officially release a timeline and then be like "but not actually part of the timeline though" if that is the case, where are all the movies before The Last? Those have a theoretical place in the timeline but they arent listed there.

The inconsistency is he never used its lethal form, despite there being opportunities to. Like when?

Now, I haven't read the book. But what I've gathered is Izumi was a one-sided thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought that she loved him but he didn't show feelings for her. Nope. Itachi spent his off-days with her. Fugaku, Mikoto, and Shisui saw their relationship developing and Itachi would get flustered just talking about her. They didnt officially get together because of the Anbu life and because Itachi started acting as a spy for Anbu.

If he didnt have feelings for her then he wouldnt feel the need to kill her first. She specifically wouldnt be kill that would numb him enough to kill everyone else. He actually had the chance to kill her mon first but knocked her out so that Izumi would be first

And again, the whole using up such a huge chunk of chakra when he had an entire clan to kill seems OoC, even showing his fights in the Itachi backstory arc. And how many kills were someone he was close to? You say its OoC but what other close intimate relationship did Itachi have with someone he killed?

Itachi had the element of surprise and plan for the night, most of which didnt require he have a full tank of chakra and im pretty sure he wouldnt need use more than he could afford to. He only had to use an MS ability one other time that night so he was right

In terms of his thinking, his mature thinking stemmed from as young as 7 I thought. Kakashi and Minato were both mature logical thinkers but hesitated to kill Obito, opting to have a heart to heart.

Jiraiya was one of the 3 Legendary Sanin but didnt kill Orochimaru when he defected

Hashirama, who grew up in an era of wanton bloodshed that he took part in, was going to kill himself instead of killing Madara

The Demon of the Mist, believed ninja to be nothing more than tools, shed tears for Haku.

Nagato spent most of his adult life trying to create world piece out of fear and in his final moments revived a village at the cost of his life

Very few characters have shown to be truely evil sociopaths underneath their cruel/cold/logical exterior. Itachi himself, logical thinker, Mr. Protect-Konoha-At-All-Costs trembled and cried when he finally got to his parents
