[/center]I AM..UCHIHA ITACHI
HI NO KUNI, RANPUGAKURE
Age: 2000+
Rank: Kage
Position: Ranpu Lord
MALE
STATUS
Dead
STATUS
Dead
Physical Appearance: Despite his status as an infamous shinobi, his appearance was not the most intimidating, apart from the intensity of his gaze. While living in Konoha, he would regularly have a gentle and caring look in his eyes, especially directed towards his younger brother. After joining Akatsuki, he would regularly have a stern look to them.
Itachi had dark eyes, black hair that hung near his cheeks (which grew slightly longer in Part II) to frame his face and kept the rest of it in a ponytail; which was later obscured by the high collar of the Akatsuki cloak he wore after joining the organisation. Being brothers, Itachi and Sasuke had a similar appearance but with subtle differences, so much so that Naruto nearly mistook Itachi for Sasuke when they first met. In comparison to his brother, Itachi's hair colour was slightly duller and had a softer flow to it; his skin was also slightly darker. Itachi's most distinguishing characteristics were the long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes; a physical trait he inherited from his father.
As a member of Akatsuki he wore the traditional Akatsuki cloak and usually kept the centre of it buttoned down, as well as a slashed Konoha forehead protector. At other times, he would unbutton the top half of his cloak and rest his left arm there, rather than in the sleeve. After his cloak was incinerated by Sasuke's Kirin during their fight in Part II, it was revealed that he wore similar clothes to that of the rest of the Akatsuki underneath it consisting of a blue v-neck T-shirt (where as most other Akatsuki members wore a sleeveless shirt) and blue pants with a body mesh under the T-shirt, and a white sash around his waist on the outside of the shirt much like a tunic. Like almost all members of Akatsuki, he wore the headband of his home village with a horizontal line gouged through it to symbolise his broken ties with the village. On his right ring finger was his Akatsuki ring, which was red in colour and bears the kanji for Vermilion (朱, shu). He also wore dark purple nail polish on his fingers and toes and a necklace with three metal circles or rings on it.
After being resurrected, Itachi's eyes appeared to have black sclera like the other shinobi that Kabuto Yakushi resurrected, except for his activated Sharingan. He was also clad in a dark-red cloak.

Likes: A list of things your character likes.
- Peace; Uchiha Itachi grew up in a very disturbed time full of hate and war and has grown up to love and pursue peace, which has allowed him to be taken advantage of several times
- His Village; Itachi above all else loves his village, and wishes to protect it and all the villagers within it no matter what
- Sasuke; Though long dead, Uchiha Sasuke was someone Itachi loved even more than the village, even more than his family, his best friend, his girl friend, his parents
Dislikes: Likewise, a list of things your character dislikes.
- War; a lover of peace, Itachi hates war and violence, even though this has not stopped him from fighting
- Madara; though also long dead, Itachi detests Madara, thinking of him as being nothing but a shell of his former self, and undeserving of being called the Uchiha leader
Personality: Ever since his first appearance, Itachi had always been mysterious and acted as though he was hiding his true self. While flashbacks to his past showed that he was a compassionate brother and person, his later acts and claims made it seem that this was mostly just an act. But surprisingly, he genuinely was the compassionate brother he had once claimed to be, although he hid this from the rest of the Akatsuki to protect his beloved brother, Sasuke. Even at a young age, Itachi vowed he would protect Sasuke, while he was only an infant, at all costs just prior to the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha.
As a member of Akatsuki, he possessed incredible self-control of his emotions, constantly displaying an emotionless personality. He only showed surprise when opponents proved more powerful or skilled than he had expected, and even then he didn't lose his composure. He didn't possess any arrogance, and fully justified any statements he made about his power, even complimenting his opponents at times on their abilities. After his death, he realises that he shouldn't have tried to deal with Sasuke on his own and encourages Naruto to never forget his friends.
In addition to being an extremely powerful shinobi, Itachi had equally impressive intelligence, and was shown to be very wise, something even Tobi acknowledged. He was exceedingly sharp and observant to any situation at hand, as he was rarely surprised or caught off guard. He also displayed great intuition, as he was almost never deceived and even then almost instantly realised the truth. This intelligence could also be seen through Itachi's immense foresight, such as examples like the foreknowledge of Sasuke's defeat of Deidara and simultaneous survival, his own pre-meditated fatalist view of death by Sasuke's hand, and most recently the implantation of his own Kotoamatsukami-imbued crow inside Naruto were only some examples seen. Despite his status as a wanted criminal, and having wiped out his clan, Itachi took no enjoyment in violence or combat, instead preferring to avoid battle or, if this was not possible, end it as quickly as he could.
Itachi's only initial interest was in Akatsuki's goals, and his only loyalties appeared to be to the organisation and its members, seeming to put the organisation's success and secrecy before everything else, although this was all an act, as his true intentions for joining the organisation was to spy on it from within. Despite this, Itachi got along with his partner, Kisame, much better than most other Akatsuki members did with their own partners. Kisame appeared to have a deep loyalty to Itachi, immediately doing as he instructed and constantly looking out for his well-being. Itachi treated all of his fellow Akatsuki members to this same, more respectful personality, although his courtesy was rarely returned by the other members.
However, when he was in a genjutsu duel during his fight with Sasuke, he cruelly claimed he had only let Sasuke live so that he could take Sasuke's eyes and obtain his own Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, after which he then claimed the Uchiha clan had been nothing but tainted and evil, since many members would kill their friends to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan, and would take another Uchiha's eyes to make its power permanent. Once the genjutsu was released, he called it his true self, implying his calm, emotionless personality was also a façade. This persona was later revealed to be only an act to ensure that he would die by Sasuke's hands, his love for his younger brother being the fundamental aspect of his personality.
In the end, Itachi put all of his faith in Naruto, who he notes as the person most determined to save and protect Sasuke. After hearing Naruto's answer to keep protecting Sasuke and everyone in Konoha, Itachi gave him some of his power. He was very grateful towards Naruto's determination to save Sasuke, and was smiling after hearing Naruto's response. Itachi even trusted him enough to bring Sasuke back to the light and refused to go see his brother after being resurrected by Kabuto, as he believes that Naruto, who has inherited Shisui's feelings, can stop Sasuke.
History: Early on...
Itachi was brought back in the 4th Shinobi world war against his own will, and forced to fight against comrades. Using the most powerful genjutsu in shinobi history, he freed himself from the bindings of Edo Tensei and proceeded to take out Yakushi Kabuto. Despite this, he could not be freed from the curse of Edo Tensei, he could never be freed. Unless someone sealed him away, his eternal life was set in stone. With his brother lost to the side of evil, and his death assured, Itachi could do nothing but weep deep in his heart. He ran away from the world and hid. Before he knew it, the ninja world had taken a great and dramatic pause. A man came from the shadows and ended the ninja system single handedly, and a tree of prosperity and peace grew from the ashes and bloodshed of hundreds of years of war. A millenia passed since peace was created and the fires of war were starting to erupt again. Itachi was still alive, if one could call it that, hoping that one day someone could end his misery. With ninjutsu being wiped off the face of the earth, him probably being the only one who still knew it, his wishes could never be answered until now. When a man challenged the Big Nine of Ten no Kuni, it started a revolution, and the ninja world was soon restored to its unholy glory. As the biggest war in shinobi history went off with a bang, Itachi found it necessary to take advantage of this and pull together people he could trust and form a ninja village for himself, deep in the shadows. Though the villagers were trained, they never went out to kill anyone. It was more of a way to protect shinobi who had some sense of righteousness and justice from the outside world, corrupt and tainted.
Itachi called this village Ranpugakure, and it was hidden in the Dark Country. For centuries, this village has remained relatively unknown to all the other villages. They only did missions when money was a necessity to keep the villagers alive. They were taught to be more self sufficient than those of the past. The village prospered. As Itachi was the only ninja who was alive back when the Bijuu were first sealed, he was the only one with knowledge of how to unseal them, a certain jutsu the "Great One" had. Somehow, word got out of Itachi's secret to all the other nations, and he was painted a target. He would be hunted and interrogated for the information he knew: the key to unlocking the most powerful beasts the world had ever seen.

[/b] GENJUTSU/NINJUTSU/TAIJUTSU
Release(s): Katon [Fire] Suiton [Water]
Special Abilities:
Sharingan [3 Tomoe]
Itachi is a master of the Sharingan, having fully activated both of his Sharingan to 3 Tomoe level. He is capable of initiating genjutsu with even a glimpse of the other opponent's eyes, capturing them in powerful illusions in fractions of seconds. His ability to perceive movement is great, allowing him to keep up with even skilled taijutsu users (he has shown the ability to actually be very versatile in taijutsu, capable of taking out three Uchiha, all whom have fully developed Sharingan, with only a few hits).
Mangekyou Sharingan
Itachi achieved the Mangekyou Sharingan after killing his best friend, Uchiha Shisui. The MS grants him the ability to use a number of strong ninjutsu and genjutsu, the three most popular ones being Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu and Susano'o.
Incredible Agility
Itachi is very agile and fast, capable of traveling along the battlefield almost unnoticed and with much grace. Even many high level jounin ranking ninja have trouble following his speed. This speed is also applied to his hand seals, as Itachi has the ability to form hand seals so fast most high ranking ninja can't even see them.
