Description pay attention to the word bubbles

For all you Big Brothers and Big Sisters out there!

*Spoilers*

but if you have been following the Naruto Manga, then you will understand, and you will get very emotional, and you will be on the verge of tears when you find out that Itachi Uchiha was really, in all sense of the word, a hero.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapters, I think there will be an entire arc about him and Madera.


I always knew there was something not right about his crazy death and about he always gave vague answers to his little brother. I can sort of relate being the oldest of 3 sisters. Us older sibs always have our own special brand of protection and care and love for our younger sibs that our parents can never provide.


----
this is just a photo manipulation as a tribute to Itachi Uchiha. I don't own any of the images, they're straight out of Kishimoto's manga.

------EDIT-----I got rid of the word "hero" because it looked better w/o, considering it should have been implyed

Yup being the oldest of all my siblings I am very protective of them. I would do anything for them. That's probably why I like Itachi so much.

He was trying to protect his brother from getting killed by konoha. Itachi killed the uchiha clan on konoha's orders but couldn't kill his brother because he loved him so in retribution for not following orders, he was sent away and he made sasuke hate him because itachi knew that he would have to die, but only at his brother's hands.....it's all very complicated but you pick up all the nuances as you read the manga.

uhmmm....i'm glad you feel so strongly, but plz don't take your anger out here.

and i don't think Kakashi will die yet because he can't die behind Naruto's back, that's just wrong. too much angst for the storyline if he does; from a writer's perspective, I think that would make the main character's personality change too much and the story would fall apart.

"Accepting dishonor in payment for honor and hatred in payment for love, even then, Itachi died smiling."

soooo saaaddddd
I'm really starting to hate it whenever an character in a story dies
The most recent one I'm reading also had a death in it and now I'm on the verge of going insane, trying to find out what happens next. It's just ....really really sad especially since there is a lot of romance in it. Oh the dramaaaaa

Yeah, seriously, his character and stories are one of the best. But you know what, Itachi will keep on living in...in our FANFICTION!
but you know what's worse? Sasuke's tainting the memory by going all psycho on us

Miss-Anonymiss In reply to Maahiyum [2008-09-19 14:31:55 +0000 UTC]

I believe it's not the real Sasuke that's going psycho. To me, the real Sasuke died when the rest of his family did and the version we have now is just an empty shell wanting violence.

Maahiyum In reply to Miss-Anonymiss [2008-09-19 17:45:13 +0000 UTC]

Well that is one way to put it, but I refute your theory. Sasuke couldn't have been an empty shell after his family died because he still befriended Naruto enough to make him worthy of being killed for a higher sharingan. Unless, of course, by 'rest of his family' you mean to say that when Sasuke killed Itachi, he himself died into an empty shell.
But even then...didn't Sasuke get all emotional when thinking about how Juugo, Karin, and Suigetsu were sacrificing themselves to help him reach his goals? I mean, he got so emotional to the point of crossing the threshold and using the new Mangekyou to save them and himself.
You're only saying that it's not the real Sasuke because he's good-looking and good-looking people just can't be all out evil/psycho. LoL I get it

I think I understand your points and I agree with them. I haven't even gotten past the rescue Gaara arc in my reading though. I guess Sasuke's just badly scarred then. And psycho.

I assumed you knew that Itachi died when you looked up this picture.
You're further behind in your reading then the anime is. The anime has just reached the Hidan/Kakuzu arc.

You didn't spoil it for me. I've already been reading spoilers, so I knew that Itachi died. I actually sort of know up to the attack on Konoha. Though I'm not really sure what happened between Jiraiya-sama and Pein and Jiraiya-sama dying and then being resurrected?
Reading fanfiction has helped a lot.
The local bookstores are only up to volume 30.

whaa? Figures? You mean the icons and emoticons? like
and ?
You have to figure out what the code is for each one and then put it between a pair of colins like this : ____ :
and if you want to put in a dA icon, you put in :icon_____:

Have fun.
btw, whenever you write a comment, do you see that box of faces on the right? ---->
right under there, there is a button labeled 'Emoticons' if you click on it, it'll open up a list of emoticon coded that you can copypasta into your mesgs.

Thank you for this. I haven't read the entire manga, just the last part with the last battle between the Uchiha brothers. Strangely enough I managed to predict what the truth was in the end, but still I was impressed by the depth of the characters and of Itachi. I love unexpected heroes like Itachi and I love the idea of him sacrificing himself and playing the villain to protect his younger brother. the truth was amazingly moving and really added depth to who he was. This tribute is well deserved. Take care.

Maahiyum In reply to SnowRaven-Moonstar [2008-07-12 00:39:10 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I feel the same way. Itachi's entire story was just -wow-, his story is probably my favorite out of all manga characters and is comparable in all aspects to real literary figures. But I can't help but wonder if Kishimoto had Itachi's story all planned out from the very beginning or if he decided to change it for us fangirls who wanted the hot older brother to be good
I'm glad you appreciated this.

SnowRaven-Moonstar In reply to Maahiyum [2008-07-12 02:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Who knows what he intended, though I hope that he had always intended for Itachi to be who he was and that he wasn't influenced. I think Itachi is a much deeper and more impressive character as he is, the hero playing the villain to protect the one person he loves most. It is an extremely moving character development and a startling surprise which makes a person look at everything that has happened before in an entirely different light. To come up with that just by changing the character to make the fan girls happy would be an amazing accident don't you think. ^_^ Either way, I don't entirely care how he came up with the idea, I just think its incredibly amazing and moving...but then I'm a sucker for sap, heh. I'm disappointed he died though and part of me wants to hold out on some hope that somehow he's still alive but I would never hold my breath, heh.

Stories like Itachi's always make me want to go back to writing fanfiction but since I always end up creating AU worlds and cannot write a fanfic without adding my own characters anyway I(which I can never tell if they are Mary Sues or not anyway) I might as well look to a way to transform possible ideas into original writing anyway, heh. ^^ I never read the manga until I came across it online. Amazing that it happened right when that particular arc was being written. I was quite shocked when I made a guess about what was really going on and guessed right. It's happened before on occasion but still my reaction was something along the lines of: "Really? No, that's impossible? Really?" lol.

I hope that Kishimoto will go more into Itachi's POV before he ends the manga. I woudl like to see the story from his side of it. I don't even know how I came to like Itachi. I think I tend to like villains with redeeming characteristics, though what his were before I discovered what was really going on I'm not sure, heh. Either way he's one of my favourite anime characters now. Almost worth going out and buying the Anime though I've been resisting since I first started watching it.

Anyway, I've ranted way too long so I should let you go. I do like to chat/rant though so feel free to reply or to send me a private note. I enjoy a good talk. Take care.

I know what you mean about liking villains more
it's because if there's even the tiniest shred of goodness in their hearts :insert dramatic pose here:, then there's hope for some high end drama and emotional roller coasters, which is what I usually look for in a good story. Anyhow, I've sent you a note because I would like to chat later
out of other popular mangas/animes, I'm also a fan of Bleach, Avatar, and FMA XD so feel free to compare characters.
....I'd rather not list all the novels I fangirl over...heh

SnowRaven-Moonstar In reply to Maahiyum [2008-07-19 21:49:12 +0000 UTC]

I definitely prefer "grey" villains as opposed to black and white villains. I like it when authors or creators create villains with a backstory and a reason for being who and what they are rather than creating a villain that's just bad for the sake of being bad, . I think that's why I like many anime villians in particular, because in anime there is definitely a lot more shades of grey as opposed to black and white which is more common in western children's programming, or so it seems. I think you're right though, when there's a possibility for growth then it makes a character more interesting, and in a villain the growth can be so much greater and more obvious. (Just take a look at Zuko from Avatar for example . He's one of my favourite characters whether you want to classify him as a villain or as an anti-hero. )

Anyway, I'm replying here just because it's easier. I sent you a note back with my contact info and added you to my AIM friends list. The trick now is to get on at the same time, heehee.

I watch a lot of anime and read a lot so I wont' go into any detail whatever about what shows and books i like because tehelist would be extensive, heh. Take care.
