The principle to live as a demon in order to seek vengeance whatever the cost and the live of innocents in the way in very well explained, it's very Japanese-ish.

And anyway it's an incredible and awesome manga so you should all read it.
But be warned, it's a very gloomy, violent, sad and deep Seinen so nothing to see with Naruto (hey but it's full of Ninjas and Samourais )

Spoiler:

Yet Itto didn't randomly kill innocents. In fact, it was this weakness that Abe no Kaii exploted when he was trying to kill Itto in the final volumes - the former Kaishakunin wouldn't put his revenge ahead of saving Edo.

It is an interesting comparison between Ogami Itto and Uchiha Sasuke, but unfortunatedly I can't see Sasuke as anywhere close to Itto in depth.

Plus, Sasuke chasing Itachi is nothing compared to Itto's pursuit of the Ura-Yagyu.

Last of the Uchiha, I think you should reread Mibu's post since he hypothetical question includes having Sasuke's body being taken over after he kills Itachi. And I also believe that Sasuke would accept the offer since giving his body away to kill Itachi fits in with his motto of being an avenger.

You also really shouldn't say that Sasuke will kill Orochimaru like it's actual fact including the fact that the curse seal level 2 was made to take care of such a possibility from any of Orochimaru's weak subordinates (except Kabuto for some wierd reason).

Spoiler:

Itto did kill plenty of innocents who get in his way because of their own reason, honor, etc. he didn't like that and prefered to avoid it but he never hesitated.
And If he never killed randomly, neither did Sasuke.
Naruto isn't a random person, he's a Konoha ninja trying to stop him.

Indeed, and it's easily understandable given than Naruto is nowhere close to Lone Wolf & Cub in depth (or in anything for that matters).

Besides I don't really compare the characters themself (I mean seriously, to compare Itto to this little brat ), I compare their path, I used LWC for that because it's a known manga which shows very well the principle of vengeance above everything else.
