Itachi Uchiha (うちはイタチ, Uchiha Itachi) was an ANBU Captain and a prodigy from Konohagakure's famed Uchiha clan. He had joined the criminal organisation Akatsuki to serve as a double agent, to later become an S-rank missing-nin as he participated in murder of his entire clan on orders from higher-ups, in what would become known as the Uchiha Clan Massacre, defecting from the village subsequently.
