Talk:Itachi Uchiha

quick notice
Itachi appeared in Sasuke's memories in chapter 127. I dunno if that counts. Seelentau 愛議 17:00, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Source of Disease
I can't remember, wasn't it stated sometime ago that Zetsu's spores (or something) were responsible for Itachi's terminal illness? Skitts (talk) 02:00, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 02:10, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I was confusing it with something about Kabuto. Skitts (talk)
 * Yeah, Madara had Zetsu put spores on Kabuto probably to keep track of him. We were never told anything about Itachi's illness.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 02:56, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Clarification on edit 547189
...despite B's style being acclaimed for its difficultly to both read and dodge successfully.


 * A noun is needed here, not an adverb.

After being ressurrected by Kabuto...


 * The above spelling is incorrect, whether by UK conventions or American conventions.

Ablities
In Chapter 548 first page it s said that itachi is together with nagato the most powerful edo tensei soldier i think you should add this.
 * That's not what the one I read says. It referred to them being Madara's most powerful/trusted soldiers.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:08, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah it s says Madara s most powerful and trusted soldiers the meaning of this is they both are his best soldiers that means their stronger than  the others.
 * Yeah but we don't put too much stock in what is written on the side of pages (I remember seeing that somewhere) If anything Kisame was his most trusted soldier. Nagato would have been a very valuable asset and Itachi, Madara himself likened him to a "thorn in his side" or something like that. See how conflicting it is?--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 13:51, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Nekomata
So where is nekomata here in itachi's childhood background? SLAYER13PH (talk) 03:32, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Because it is an anime-only occurrence in an anime only arc, it is in the Konoha History Section. Skitts (talk) 03:50, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

@Skitts maybe we should put it to his background anyway to give him credit, at young age he was able to defeat nekomata. SLAYER13PH (talk) 05:28, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

For reasons already stated, it's going to be kept at the Kohona History section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:46, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Crow
Maybe we can put crow summoning at itachi's jutsu?SLAYER13PH (talk) 05:35, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * No. Itachi sure had an affinity to use crow related techniques, but that doesn't mean he summoned them. For all we know, he does something similar to Aoba, and the word used for his use of crows in the databook is different from the word used for summons in the series. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:46, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Itachi's Crow is most likely just a crow, not summon. Something like Akamaru ... just a normal dog. And Itachi's other crows are just a genjutsu. --Elveonora (talk) 01:05, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not as cut and dry as that. From what we know, he has more than one crow and they're probably real since they left a fair bit of feather behind in chapter 368 after Itachi's encounter with Sasuke. Whether or not they are summoned creatures or just living under Itachi's Akatsuki mantle is something Kishimoto hasn't told us.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 01:19, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Oh you are right, sorry. He has more "real" crows. Then I guess he has a magic cloak or the crows are really summons. Don't want to theorize much, but I think the crows are gift from Shisui along with his eye, thus Shisui's power. --Elveonora (talk) 01:24, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Chakra Flow
Can we put Fire Chakra Flow to itachi's ability section? i think he can use it with other weapons like shuriken, swords etc. SLAYER13PH (talk) 05:40, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's already mentioned. Second paragraph in the ninjutsu section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:46, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Death
In the article, it is said: "With that act, Itachi finally gave in to his fatal illness, which he had been using medication and sheer willpower to fend off, and died." With the term "gave in" (which means in the context: "give up fighting againt the fatal illness") in the sentence, it means that only his sheer willpower allowed to fend off his fatal illness. So, it means that during a long time, Itachi fend off his fatal illness by using medication and sheer willpower. And in the moment where he began to spit blodd in the battle against Sasuke, this indicated that medicines no longer made effect, and only his sheer willpower still allowed to fend off his illness, hence the term "gave in" in the sentence. Is that correct ? 41.248.195.6 (talk) 16:13, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * It appears he stopped taking medicine before the fight, and in the latter stages, was just keeping himself alive out of willpower. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:46, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

How does he keep himself alive in this case? Because, when we say in the article: he gave in to his fatal illness. It means for me, that he stopped to fight against the illness (=his sheer willpower was no longer present). And in the moment where he began to split blood, this indicated that the medicine no longer made effect. Is that correct? 41.249.84.122 (talk) 20:12, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:29, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Infamous?
Isn't Itachi famous? --Ilnarutoanime 11:06, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's what 'infamous' means +1.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:38, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah okay... --Ilnarutoanime 13:48, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

his mate
Does not he/she deserves his/her own article ? --Elveonora (talk) 01:10, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why o.O?--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 01:13, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

(EditConflict X[)I think s/he was only mentioned a few times (less than 4 that I can think of) with no picture and only mentioned because of Itachi. Plus we're not sure what her/his gender is. So I'm gonna say no. Joshbl56  01:14, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Once, only by Tobi.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 01:16, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto mentioned the person as well and Itachi has not disproved. --Elveonora (talk) 01:24, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * True but just because they are mentioned doesn't mean they should get their own page. If that were so then we would also have a page on Kiba's Father. He's been mentioned several times (at least more than Itachi's mate). Joshbl56  01:27, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * (editconflict) Even if Naruto did, that still doesn't change the fact that we know nothing of the person except that Itachi killed them as well. That's not enough information to warrant an article. It's the same reason why articles aren't created for Kage we know nothing about even if they are known for example.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 01:29, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

You are right, sorry. --Elveonora (talk) 01:32, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry if I should have made a new topic for this. I have a question so I figured I'd ask you guys down at the wiki, since you know your stuff, lol. So if Itachi killed his lover, or whatever we're gonna call him/her, would that mean his lover was an Uchiha? Or did he just kill him/her because he felt like it of something? idk. I was just wondering if he and this lover of his were related by blood. I wouldn't be surprised, happens on manga and anime all the time, but I just want to make sure, since that's been confusing me. 98.217.230.157 (talk) 04:57, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, they were an Uchiha, otherwise he wouldn't have killed them. There's little reason to think that he/she wasn't, otherwise there'd be no rationale for his killing him/her. Skitts (talk) 05:28, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Deceased
shouldn't we say that he is like, revived or somthing! rather than deaceased, Am i missing somthing?--Charmanking2198 (talk) 21:46, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't consider revived/resurrected as a status. It's not like Gaara, Kakashi or Fukasaku, who were brought back exactly as they were. I don't think Hashirama and Tobirama were listed as alive when Orochimaru brought them back either, though that was way before I knew what Naruto was. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:56, December 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, that would be like putting Third Kazekage down as puppet since that's what Sasori did to him. They are dead, nothing more. If someone wanted to see if they were revived then they would need to go here. Joshbl56  21:57, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

They're technically brought back, but it's temporary, as the soul is brought back to inhabit the sacrifice's body, unlike the case with Gaara. Skitts (talk) 22:01, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

so your saying that itachi is temporarly revived???--Charmanking2198 (talk) 09:28, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * For all intents and purposes yes he is, for now at least. If that ever does change (however unlikely) the wikia will find a way to cross that bridge.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 13:02, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Intelligence
Would anyone be opposed to adding an Intelligence section? I added a sentence on it just a little while ago since I remembered a couple of noteworthy incidences, but when I thought about it, I realized he had a good amount more than what I'd remembered, namely the whole Sasuke thing. Not to mention, his intellect is rated as a 5. Skitts (talk) 04:03, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it's fine to add if other pages have it. If other pages don't have it then maybe it could be placed in a different section.   ROBO731   (Talk)  Mangekyō_Sharingan_Itachi.svg  04:07, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Some other articles have it, but not all. Skitts (talk) 04:30, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well if there is enough information to adequately fill the section then it should be added. That's my opinion. ROBO731   (Talk)  Mangekyō_Sharingan_Itachi.svg  04:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

That's my opinion as well, but I thought I'd check with everyone else to make sure they believe there is enough information to give it adequate size, hence why I only added a sentence about it. Skitts (talk) 04:49, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * K ROBO731   (Talk)  Mangekyō_Sharingan_Itachi.svg  04:56, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

I think mentioning Itachi's intelligence shouldn't be an issue. I always did want it mentioned that he orchestrated the whole battle.--Cerez365™ 18:36, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'll go work on it then. :-) Skitts (talk) 03:48, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I was just coming here to ask this question. There was a revert of something someone added yesterday(?) maybe, about how Itachi was able to figure out the inner working and such of the IWR technique. It also mentioned how Itachi said every jutsu has a weakness but that also, was removed. An example of his intelligence is shown here and then on this page here  he makes the statement of every jutsu having a weakness. Also his intelligence must be pretty ace, if he has set off to find Kabuto and stop the IWR so perhaps he has figured out a way to stop it. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 05:43, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Omni changed that I believe. It's still there, just altered a bit. I'm currently adding the section by the way. o3o Skitts (talk) 05:52, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, alright then. Ahh, good! I look forward to reading it ^__^ It's about time Itachi had an Intelligence section! SusanooUnleashed (talk) 07:26, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I just finished it a few minutes ago. ^_^ Feel free to edit it to sound better where possible. I kept Omni's edit for now, though I personally think it looks a little odd there. xD Skitts (talk) 07:27, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

And I just read it :) It's very good, I do think one part should be added to the line "His intellect was such that he was able to not only orchestrate the entirety of his battle against Sasuke, but restrain himself throughout the battle in order to bring about his intended outcome." - I think it should also say how he had planned the battle and outcome, years before it actually came to effect. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 07:30, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Will do. Tell me what you think in a few minutes. o3o
 * Edit-- I think that looks pretty good. Skitts (talk) 07:31, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, I like it. Nice job ^__^ SusanooUnleashed (talk) 07:40, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Before this gets too far outta hand...
Okay. SuperSaiyanMan, I get it. You don't think that Itachi kept up with Naruto and B in their skirmish because they didn't "test" their speed against his or that...the ground didn't crack under Naruto when he moved. You're assuming theat they weren't moving fast because of an arbitrary detail and you ignored the part where Itachi completely evaded B's Seven Swords Dance later on, which is both extremely fast and unpredictable. What's the deal? Skitts (talk) 06:50, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * If Itachi was as fast enough to keep up with Naruto when he was using his speed, Naruto would have thought so. And I'm not ignoring it, you're just exaggerating it. Itachi-how did he block when he has no weapon out? --NaruHina fan (talk) 07:03, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

The points of contact are clearly those of metal-against-metal. And considering that the next chapter showed that he had plenty of Kunai (which he could have easily disposed of), that seems like the likely weapom, what with his proficiency with they and shuriken. Exaggerated I have not. Also, like I said, Naruto would obviously would have cared less about Itachi's skills (which he already knows to be quite high) in comparison to learning if what Tobi told him is true.Skitts (talk) 07:07, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Naruto would have cared since he cared that A actually caught up with him. Whenever someone keeps up with him, they get praised. Naruto wasn't using any of his speed, the panels show it was blatantly obvious. And there was no kunai there, he didn't take it out. And you are exaggerating Skitts.--NaruHina fan (talk) 07:12, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm just not seeing it. He could have discarded the Kunai after he was done with it. In manga, it's quite obvious when there is two metal objects hitting each other, as a...for lack of a better description, little sparkly...thing that is drawn at the point of contact, which can be seen on the linked page. And considering he was only surprised at A (the first time he fought anyone after he assumed the transformation), and the fact that he knew who he was up against, doesn't mean he's going to show that surprise every time. It is not "blatantly obvious" because he has shown his speed against them. all I said was "keep up", not outspeed, not on par with, not anything. I didn't exaggerate.
 * Edit-- And yet again, why would Naruto be so concerned about the known skills of a known opponent, as opposed to figuring out if the reason why his best friend has gone psycho is the truth? Skitts (talk) 18:51, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Anyone else? o3o Skitts (talk) 18:56, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Limit
Like, how Itachi is just wondering around freely is there like a limit to the resurrection or will he ever have to leave or just die or can he just wonder around forever? 68.110.166.153 (talk) 21:47, January 9, 2012 (UTC) Lil rob


 * Not stated in the manga yet. --Vecanoi (talk) 21:53, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

He broke away from Kabuto's control thanks to the genjutsu Kotoamatsukami. Now, the user of Summoning: Impure World Resurrection is usually able to end the technique any time they want. However, we do not know if the genjutsu changes things or if Kabuto simply still has plans for Itachi, which is likely since he said that Itachi was the other one he was trying to use Nagato to capture. Skitts (talk) 22:50, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hand?
I don't get it. how can Itachi use illusions just by pointing at someone? 95.154.230.254 (talk) 15:14, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

The same way Kakashi and Sasuke can use Raikiri and Chidori respectively I assume: he's just gotten skilled enough to case them without hand seals. Skitts (talk) 15:17, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

There are different mediums to use genjusu through since they affect the five senses. Pointing I'd assume still affects 'sight'.--Cerez365™ 15:20, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Trivia
shouldnt it be mentioned that he has the highest stats of the 3 main jutsu types? 74.63.86.222 (talk) 15:43, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * No. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:44, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Except he doesn't. And he already has a trivia note about his stats. Skitts (talk) 15:44, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

what? how can that old guy have 5 in all 3 categories? 74.63.112.156 (talk) 15:49, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

.......Because he's the "God of Shinobi". O.o Skitts (talk) 15:50, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * ↑Bem! That aside though, the wikia doesn't normally do comparisons or run down of statistics with marginal exceptions sometimes.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 15:54, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Stalemate Statement
I was doing having a look-see in the manga for Itachi's stalemate-with-Jiraiya statement, and I couldn't find it in any of the chapters he was in during Part 1. Anyone got a link, or was that anime-only, in which case we may need to edit that part in his and Jiraiya's abilities sections. Skitts (talk) 05:18, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bump. Skitts (talk) 20:27, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Going from the archives it would be chapter 144.--Cerez365™ 20:54, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
