Though having spent his early youth as the kindly child prodigy of the Uchiha clan, Itachi is treated as a villain for much of the series. He is initially portrayed as being solely responsible for the slaughter of his entire family, sparing only his brother Sasuke Uchiha, with the explanation that he was testing his abilities.
Around the time of his death his villainous role is downplayed; not only did he have help from his master, Madara Uchiha, in killing the clan, but he performed the massacre under the orders of Konoha's leadership. For his part, Itachi accepts his role as a villain, never telling anyone of who else was involved and even encouraging Sasuke to get strong enough to kill him and avenge the clan.
Itachi at times uses one of the three abilities of his Mangekyo Sharingan, though he tries to avoid doing so as it is taxing on his body and damages his eyesight.
*The first, Tsukuyomi (月読, Tsukuyomi?), allows him to torture opponents for what seems like days in a matter of moments.
*Amaterasu (天照, Amaterasu?), the second, generates black flames at his focal point that will continue to burn until the target is reduced to ash.
*The final ability, Susanoo (須佐能乎, Susanoo?), creates a massive ethereal warrior that fights on Itachi's behalf and shields him from all attacks.
Before he dies during his battle with Sasuke, Itachi gives his Mangekyo Sharingan and all of its abilities to him in an effort to keep Sasuke safe and to help him someday kill Madara Uchiha.
