Itachi Uchiha

Itachi was born into the Uchiha clan and was praised by all as the best of his generation - a genius above all others. Even by the standards of the battle-adept Uchiha clan, Itachi's prowess far outshone them. However, not even his family, friends, or teachers could understand him. When he was only 4, Itachi had already witnessed countless lives lost due to the Third Great Shinobi World War, which emotionally traumatized him and turned him into a pacifist. At age 7, he graduated from the Ninja Academy at the top of his class after only one year, mastered the Sharingan at age 8, passed the Chūnin Exams at age 10, and became an ANBU Captain at age 13. According to Madara Uchiha, Itachi also had a lover, whom he killed during the Uchiha clan massacre.

He was praised highly by his father, who saw the family's future in
Itachi, hence neglecting his other son - Itachi's younger brother,
Sasuke. However, during this time Itachi showed great affection towards
his little brother, Sasuke, and even encouraged his father to come to
the Academy when Sasuke was enrolled, something their dad had otherwise
forgotten, by saying that he would not go to an important mission that
would establish Itachi a place in the ANBU ranks, otherwise.
When the Uchiha began planning to overthrow Konoha, Itachi, as
an ANBU, was tasked with spying on the village. Knowing that a coup
d'etat would only lead to another Ninja War, Itachi began spying on the
Uchiha instead, passing on information to the Third Hokage and the
other Konoha elders. After this he began to act strangely, not
attending the clan meetings, speaking out against the clan, and
becoming the prime suspect for the murder of his best friend, Shisui Uchiha.
The clan lost hope in Itachi, and his father began shifting his focus
to Sasuke instead. Meanwhile, the Third's attempts to negotiate a
bloodless end to hostilities between the two parties were proving
ineffective, so, against the Third's wishes, Danzō and the Konoha Council ordered Itachi to wipe out the Uchiha.
Before the fateful night arrived, Itachi discovered the existence of Madara Uchiha,
who was attempting to rekindle the flames of war in Konoha. In return
for not attacking Konoha, Itachi offered to help Madara claim vengeance
against the Uchiha for turning their backs on him decades earlier.
Madara agreed. Itachi slaughtered his entire clan overnight, sparing
only Sasuke. Sasuke's life was worth more than the village to Itachi,
and he could not follow through with the orders to kill him as well.
Instead, he made himself out as a villain, who had killed their
innocent family only to test his abilities. By doing so, he wanted
Sasuke to take vengeance on him and become a hero to Konoha, thus
redeeming the Uchiha name. He tortured Sasuke with his Mangekyō Sharingan,
and encouraged him to become strong enough to kill him and avenge their
family. Hoping that his beloved little brother would someday be
powerful enough to kill him, Itachi left the village as a traitor.
Knowing that Konoha would still want to eliminate Sasuke, Itachi pleaded with the Third Hokage
to keep Sasuke safe. He also threatened Danzō to not harm Sasuke or
risk him revealing everything he knew about Konoha's secrets to enemy
countries. Sasuke's safety was therefore secured, and Itachi returned
to his original plan of becoming infamous for his slaughter of the
Uchiha. Itachi joined Akatsuki
in order to keep an eye on the organization, along with Madara Uchiha,
in case either ever acted against Konoha, all the while planning for
his death at Sasuke's hands. While a member of Akatsuki, Itachi was
approached by Orochimaru,
who tried to steal his body to gain the Sharingan. Itachi trapped him
in a genjutsu and severed his left hand as punishment, forcing
Orochimaru to flee the organization. Sometime after joining Akatsuki,
Itachi later helped recruit Deidara, Orochimaru's replacement, by beating him in battle, after which Deidara swore vengeance against Itachi.
