@AsianReaper. Yeah man, the writer obviously didn't plan on Itachi to become the good Itachi from the start. and there's many reasons to prove it like these two,

1.Just like you said, Itachi ordering Sasuke to be filled with revenge and hatred and instead just threatening him that he'll kill his loved ones would have obviously worked.

2.Telling Sasuke to achieve MS by killing his best friend. I mean come on, in part 2 he hopes his brother is pure and heroic and has alot of friends to help him and yet in part 1 he literally told his brother the way to gain the powerful MS was killing his best friend(which wasn't even true for crying out loud)

3. Since when exactly was a one shot jutsu that causes brain damage and can only be cured by the best medical ninja possible, was considered a jutsu to hold back? I mean using Tsukuyomi on both his 12 year brother and Kakashi was stupid if he wasn't evil.

4. @Kakashi. In part 2 he actually had planned on him becoming evil and for that he planned on using Shisui's MS for it.

5. He obviously purposely made Sasuke be full of hatred and revenge. And I guess the writer planned on him trying to actually take the Sasuke's sharingan away instead of the part 2 one where he did not want to.

6. They actually were full on going to cut off Naruto's legs off. If it wasn't fir the unexpected entrance of Jiraya.

7. Jiraya can very well beat Itachi, considering Gambunta to be orginally a much bigger summon than his part 2 appearances.

And his Sage Mode and the fact that Jiraya has something that can counter amaterasu.

And they being possibly approached by a alot of shinobi reinforcement.

Why exactly would he spare over Jiraya and not his freaking brother(that in part2 is explained to be the person he loves the most) and his used to be comrade who also is very important for the village and Sasuke. Giving them brain damage.
