(( dealing with 13 yo Itachi’s mentality about the rest of his clan is so weird. Like, he p much thinks the only reason the clan is disliked is because they have awful attitudes sometimes and are prideful about their heritage. And I agree in a sense some of the way that pride is displayed is a problem. But if you were caged and refused opportunities because of your surname you would latch onto the name too. The Uchiha are a /bees/ nest yes…. And people keep poking the nest on purpose, agitating the bees into attacking. You fuck with the nest and you deserve to be stung.
But Bruh, Itachi at this point refuses to see the surname thing is an issue. It never happened to ~me~ so why do you guys act like its a problem. People don’t like you because you act horrible not because of being Uchiha, is basically his mindset at this point. If only Itachi had been more open to communication and Fugaku had shared his childhood, sigh. Then again depending on what point pre massacre, this is, Itachi might even find a way to excuse it or say he was refused because of a different reason, sigh.
I think it would take something like Danzō or Hiruzen admitting the rule exists, but even then they could just lie to him if he asks. What are you talking about itachi, you’re anbu, clearly this rule is something your clan made up to justify this rebellion…
My son is silly.))
