Itachi Uchiha had always been the target of Sasuke's revenge, but the information Naruto had written on the scroll completely overturned everything he knew.

Itachi Uchiha was a young prodigy of the Uchiha Clan, immensely powerful and exceptionally gifted. He was also someone who had not been shackled by the clan's narrow-minded family-first ideology.
