Uchiha Itachi, a man who went from being the most talented ninja in the Konoha (Leaf) village to a feared murderer, is another character with huge impact in the Naruto series. Itachi's arrival in the series finally satisfied the curiosity of all fans wondering who was the man that betrayed the leaf and was the person that Uchiha Sasuke was training so hard to defeat.

Extremely talented in ninjutsu at a young age, at age 9 he was even able to use his Sharingan eyes (special eyes only inherited through the Uchiha clan that are able to entrance and imitate victims). He even became captain of the Anbu squad at the age of 13. However, something happened to Itachi that made him go beserk with anger and he killed the entire Uchiha clan, leaving only his little brother alive.

Now Itachi is one of the main members in the group, "Akatsuki", a threatening terrorist group with the ambition to release the Nine-tails demon sealed up inside Naruto. He even defeated his former allies in order to accomplish his mission. His once youthful and promising side gone, Itachi is now cold and calculating, hardly anything sways his cool demeanor.

Even though Itachi intentions are still not completely revealed in Naruto, this shrine is here to go in-depth about one of the most mysterious characters introduced to the Naruto series.
