Itachi is truly the greatest character in this manga. No one, and I mean no one, saw that twist coming. Kishimoto made us all hate him so much, for his crimes, and for turning Sasuke into this emotional void monster, and then you see the true humanity behind Itachi. You see what he did, what he endured, and though he's by no means a saint, he resonated most with me. But no, his twist didn't make me hate Sasuke. I already was tired of the "victim" act from him when he and Naruto fought.
