Itachi turns his head, blood running down his face. "I am different. Who else do you know who killed an entire clan of elite ninja at thirteen?" As he speaks, Itachi's body disintegrates into crows that fly to the corners of the room.
Does he know Minato? No. He knows the man was great and that he died. He died to save others. Itachi simply kills those he knows to save those he doesn't know.
Itachi drops from the ceiling,but the clone explodes. Itachi stands calmly on the ground, watching.
