Itachi Uchiha, the legendary Akatsuki member, one of Konoha’s best shinobi, and his clan’s prodigy, has always been a favorite among Naruto fans and a sensitive subject of debate among the fandom. He might have only a few scenes in the series, but his impact became much greater. Whether Itachi is a villain, hero, anti-hero, or anti-villain is like the same debate surrounding Attack on Titan‘s Eren Yeager; however, he undeniably fits the definition of a hero, and his love interest is a testament to that.
