I think that Itachi never did get to use his power at his prime. I seems like he contracted the disease at quite a young age, I have no idea how, and had it for at least more than two years before his death. Though, even not at his prime, he was still an enemy to reckoned with.

I mean, he could be Hokage if he wanted, heck, he could have surpassed Madara in terms of skills! But no. As all great and powerful characters, they have to have something keeping them back from reaching their ultimate and true potential. I say his name with distaste...Sasuke.

And that's the question isn't it? IF he was the only child, and had no disease to hold him back, what would he have done? And that everyone, is absolutely the same thing, with a few differences. Kill everyone, and this time everyone, in the Uchiha Clan and become a renegade shinobi on the run. Join the Akatsuki, spy for the village, and die somehow a heroic death in the end. After killing the Akatsuki members off one by one...[cries] Sasori!

...though maybe not before impregnating some woman to ensure the continuity of the Uchiha line.

The End.

[sighs] The possibilities of his character are endless...And all wasted on Sasuke...T-T
