Furthermore, his reasoning of killing the clan to test his strength sounds really really weak. It indicates arrogance. But yet, when he met Kurenai and Asuma, he was very respectful. If he really is so arrogant, why work for the Akatsuki leader? Why not kill him to prove that he is the strongest?
The only situation when Itachi gets really emotional and serious is when dealing with Sasuke. I think that he really wants Sasuke to get alot stronger. He realises that if Konoha can't stop the Uchiha clan from being murdered, then there is no point in Sasuke relying on Konoha to protect him. The only person that can defend Sasuke from the 3rd user is Sasuke himself.
There is definitely something fishy with the Uchiha clan. The Kyuubi mentioned that the Sharingan is cursed and the clan has a secret meeting place. So the origins of the Uchiha clan might be something sinister. The clan has evil roots, yet I think they moved away from it over the years. But, there are probably factions among the clan that want to return back to that evil roots.
