The one Itachi wanted to kill more was the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails had inflicted enormous losses on the Leaf Village.
Countless outstanding Leaf ninja had died on the Night of the Nine-Tails. It had also indirectly put the Uchiha Clan in the hot seat, intensifying the conflict between the clan and the Konoha High Command.

Itachi merely watched him act without intervening.
His goal was to kill the
