And uh.. are you up to date in the manga? Everything Itachi did, he did for Konoha. Which is why I call him a tragic hero - because although he committed some unspeakable acts, he did so out of necessity in his own mind and for a greater good.
lol well I consider myself offically schooled on Heracles! In my defence though I did admit I was no expert. As far as I knew he was like the untouchable hero... (Note to self. Research!)

Anyway, yes I am upto date and that is why I have made this thread! I believe Itachi had other options, and I also believe he got a kick out of his strength! He made Kakashi suffer for no reason at all!
