Talk:Itachi Uchiha

This bit of information was added to the article in Trivia. It really doesn't fit as that in the article.
 * "Itachi is Japanese for 'weasel' and Uchiha is Japanese for 'paper fan'."

Can someone find the Kanji to go with it and create a paragraph on the name for the main section of the article just like you see on most Wikipedia character articles. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Sep 30, 2007 @ 23:36 (UTC)

Actually, "Uchiwa" is 'paper fan.' Madara uchiha99 14:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Madara uchiha99

Can someone delete Itachi Uchiha/original article?
Really, I just finished adding all the missing information from the original to the new article & renamed the Akatsuki section to fighting style and abilities (since it really had nothing to do with Akatsuki), and divided some of the first paragraph into a history section. Tales-of-a-fan 15:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC) :It was actually merged. The original article content still exists on the redirect page. That would not be the case if it was a deletion. --69.156.205.13 04:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind I misread that. --69.156.205.13 04:02, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Uchiha clan survivors?
In the blurb at the top, it says Itachi is one of the three surving Uchiha Clan members. Is this right? I know there's Sasuke and Itachi...who's the third?


 * Tobi (Madara Uchiha) counts as the third.--TheUltimate3 22:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Anbu
Wouldn't Itachi count as a Tokubetsu Jonin? He was on the ANBU... Madara uchiha99 14:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Madara uchiha99
 * Well, Tokubetsu Jonin is actually a lower rank than Jonin last time I checked. Anyone know if he reached the actual Jonin level? ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 3, 2007 @ 17:48 (UTC)

Actually, yes he did. In a flashback episode, you learn that he became a jonin, then an ANBU captain. And Tokubetsu Jonin have Jonin-like skill in one area, rather than all around Jonin training. Ebisu is a Tokubetsu and has Jonin-level skills in the basics, which is why Kakashi asked him to help Naruto prepare for the Chunin Exams. So technically, you could call the Tokubetsu 'teachers', and are of a lower rank then Jonin, or at least of a different classification.Rasengan Master 04:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Rasengan Master


 * I thought it said Chunin, then ANBU. Artist Formerly Known As Whocares 20:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The order goes: A) Hokage, B) Jonin (ANBU, regular, Tokubetsu; in that order), C) Chunin, D) Genin, and E) Academy students. Tokubetsu isn't really a level like Chunin or Genin, it's more of a sublevel. A branch, if you will.Rasengan Master 08:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Checking
Can someone check over this large removal edit? ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Feb 9, 2008 @ 08:43 (UTC)

Well......
i liked this articale but it seemed to lack information on his current events, like the fact that sasuke stabbed him twice then questioned him.......... and i'm not the person to fix things like that.

Itachi's Spare Eyes
I don't think that Itachi missed when he was trying to take Sasuke's eyes. If you saw the Valley of the End battle of Naruto and Sasuke, Sasuke's flashbacks of him and Itachi showed that he often poked him on the forehead. If you look closely, Itachi smiles before he pokes him on the head, just like when they were younger. I think Itachi might have realized that he would rather go blind then become like Madara Uchiha.

 * That's a beautiful thought, but I think Itachi realized that he was already dead so he decided to go out on a cool note. But who knows (until Kishi speaks on it) maybe it was his humanity reasserting itself. Now is there any special reason why I can't edit this article. For whoever is able to edit it though in his technique list in the table please change Shadow Clone Explosion to the link for Clone Great Explosion.Rayfire 17:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

OH NO!!! Itachi's dead!!! Just read Chapter 395, Zetsu says he died...Hey wait a minute...There is no possible way that Itachi could be killed by Sasuke, I mean Itachi was an ANBU captain when Sasuke was still in the Academy! By the way, Sasuke totally cheated; I mean, he absorbed Orochimaru andused the Curse Seal. So not fair. I hope Naruto kicks Sasuke's ass.Rasengan Master 08:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well considering Itachi's character, he was aiming for the eyes. I'd smile too if I was "this" close to taking what's mine. From many sources I've read he was just about blind already. I have serious doubts that after all that, after murdering his own parents, learning that the entire Uchiha clan was pretty much a group of sibling killers, and beating the ever loving crap out of his brother, that he all of a sudden would realize that he made a mistake.

And on a side note, Sasuke didn't cheat, because Sasuke barely won. The only reason he won was because Itachi was injured BEFORE the fight even started, and then Mangekyo's himself to blindness, and then used two jutsus that drain most of his chakra. By the time Susano'o was released there is a good chance he was simply running on fumes.

Okay, I see it like this: the mangekyo just allows more jutsu, it's vision isn't necessarily better than the regular Sharingan. Coupled with the fact that Itachi was nearly blind to start with and was obviously injured before they began, Itachi was already at a disadvantage. With Sasuke utilizing both the absorbed powers of Orochimaru and the Curse Seal, it was a totally unfair fight. Rasengan Master 02:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
