Alright, this is the last thing I am going to post about this, since i dont like arguing.

Sasuke said to kakashi that the reason he was killing was because no one in the village knew of itachi's sacrfice. It seems to me that he wants Itachi to be recognized as a hero, and the uchiha as someone besides villians. Is that doing it for Itachi's sake? It doesnt sound like he would gain much out of this for himself, so I am not seeing too much selfish desires here. And if it is in itachi's name, why is he going against his ideals so bluntly?

I said he wanted the clan to recognized as heroes along with itachi, right? Well, why doesnt he just tell the freakin village what itachi had to do? That seems like it would clear up a bunch of stuff and help sasuke out consideably. I doubt that anyone would say "So what, Itachi did this, he still killed his whole family." They would have to understand that the guy sufered more than the people he killed, after all, he didnt want to do this. (and itachi kept the akatsuki away)

"his blind rage" What was sasuke raging about? His brother was a hero, he is alive, and his lifelong dream has been fulfilled. Plus he has the manegkyo. So what is he pissed off about? The entire village practically reveres the Uchiha, and if sasuke states that Itachi kept the akatsuki away for several years, i think that they would appreciate his memory a lot more.

Anyway, this was exactly what i was talking about, sasuke's trigger for all of this seems underplayed at the least. If the emotions are not easily related to, then the story fails. Or maybe I just dont understand it, i dont know. So believe what you want, this is what i think
