Or is it just as it says at the end of the, that Itachi did everything he could, even gave his life, so that the entire world would live in peace... and that his brother would be the one most protected from Madara?



I, for one, believe that Itachi was truly a "good guy" and was doing all he could to protect the ninja world, and most specifically his brother. I really have nothing to back up my intuition other than intuition itself, Madara's words, and the fact that I think Itachi would be the ultimate "cool guy" if that were true. My respect for him, after reading this chapter, skyrocketed, despite that it was already near epic-proprtions.

What do you all think?
