Itachi Uchiha (Uchiha Itachi) was an ANBU Captain from Leaf village's famed Uchiha clan. He became an S-ranked missing-ninja after murdering his entire clan in what would become known as the Uchiha clan massacre, and defected from the village. He later joined the criminal organisation Akatsuki.Itachi was born into the Uchiha clan as the eldest son of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, the head of Uchiha clan, and was praised by all as the best of his generation, and a genius above all others. Many of his actions can be understood by the following event: when Itachi was only four, he had already witnessed countless lives lost due to the Third Shinobi World War, which emotionally traumatised him and turned him into a pacifist.Itachi was a highly perceptive child, wise beyond his years and spent much of his time researching the history of the village from the writings their ancestors left behind. Because of this, Itachi was never limited to the view of his own clan but worried about the fate of the village as a whole. Later the third hokage confirms this by saying even at the age of seven, he had the thinking of a Hokage . Often portrayed as a cold blooded mass murderer by the village, the manga makes it a point to show otherwise.
