Itachi's story is one of the most tragic in the Naruto universe. Forced to choose between his clan and his village, he made the ultimate sacrifice to prevent a civil war that would have destroyed Konoha.
Working as a double agent, Itachi eliminated the Uchiha clan on orders from Konoha's leadership, but spared his younger brother Sasuke, hoping he would one day become strong enough to kill him and restore the Uchiha name.
Even as a rogue ninja, Itachi continued to protect Konoha from the shadows, joining the Akatsuki to monitor their activities and prevent them from attacking his home village.
