In addition to being one of the favorite characters of a good portion of Naruto franchise fans, Itachi Uchiha has a relatively complex trajectory, with some difficult decisions and points that may not have been very clear either in the anime or in the manga.

One such point is about the death of Shisui Uchiha, specifically why Itachi didn't confront Danzo and try to retrieve his best friend's right eye. Although this is an issue not very well explained in the story, if we analyze the context in which Shisui's death occurred, we can imagine that Itachi did not act against Danzo simply for lack of choice.

First, even being considered a prodigy since childhood, Itachi only surpassed Danzo's level when he awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and learned to use his new abilities, something that happened just after Shisui's death.

In addition, even though in a direct confrontation our dear Uchiha would probably have the advantage, it is worth remembering that Danzo was already the leader of the ANBU, and at all times he had several ninjas protecting him, making the task of trying to face him much more complicated. it alone.

Another important point to be highlighted is that Itachi always put the peace and security of the Village in first place, and as much as Danzo was practically cancer growing inside Konoha, killing him would bring even greater political instability, mainly due to his influence. at the council, perhaps resulting in the outbreak of civil war, something Itachi just wanted to avoid.

The anime can be followed in full on  Crunchyroll, along with classic Naruto and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, its direct sequel.
