Itachi Uchiha was born into a time of war. The Third Shinobi World War had just ended, and the world was still reeling from its effects. Itachi's parents, Mikoto and Fugaku, were both high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan, one of the most powerful clans in Konohagakure. Itachi's father was the clan head, and his mother was a skilled medic-nin.
Itachi was a prodigy from a young age. He was able to master the Sharingan, a powerful bloodline limit, at the age of 8. He was also a skilled ninja, and he quickly rose through the ranks of the Konohagakure shinobi.
Despite his success, Itachi was a troubled child. He witnessed the horrors of war firsthand, and he saw the death and destruction that it caused. He also saw the hatred and mistrust that existed between the Uchiha clan and the Konohagakure shinobi.
The world as it is
As Itachi grew older, he became increasingly disillusioned with the world. He saw that the world was not a peaceful place, and he realized that there was no easy answer to the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Konohagakure shinobi.
In the end, Itachi made a decision that would change his life forever...
