Is Itachi insecure about his ability to protect Sasuke? Does he think he is "good enough" for him? I know you said that Itachi is a very confident person but when he met Sasuke for the last time he was apologetic about his actions and everything. Do you think he was only apologising because it was the last time they were going to meet? Or do you think if Itachi continued to be alive he would really change and try not to do everything by himself?

Apologizing because he might have made a mistake and because maybe it would have been better to tell him the truth doesn’t mean being insecure, it means reconsidering his actions and realizing he could have done things wrong. Confident people do reconsider their actions too, and they admit their own mistakes, if they’re clear minded, and I’ll never stop repeating that Itachi is one of the most confident characters of the whole series and that lol Itachi and insecure in the same sentence sounds funny and ooc to me. He is not insecure about his ability to protect him, or he would have not acted in a way to control Sasuke’s whole life. Even entrusting him to N*ruto means controlling his life and choosing who he should associate with. It’s an extremely confident attitude.

Does he think he is good enough for Sasuke? canon Itachi is not sas*ita or shi*ta fanon Itachi where he is a socially inept genius who’s also not confident about himself because he was used as a tool so he doesn’t know how to see himself. He was used as a tool and he was a child soldier but he is totally aware about his self worth and he thinks he’s more clever and better than anyone else, because he is, being a prodigy. And he tells Sasuke omg, when he says that he became arrogant, before the police comes for him after Shisui’s suicide, but his stans conveniently forgot this, too busy fangirling about martyr meek itachi eating dangos and loving all children.

Yes, he was apologizing to Sasuke because it was the last time they met and he never had the chance to face his brother with him knowing the truth.

No, I don’t think Itachi would change if he was alive, because changing is hard and not even genius can do it easily. IF someone thinks they’re more intelligent, more knowledgeable than others, if they can actually see how things will turn out and plan and all that stuff Itachi did, no matter if things actually go as he foresees, they’ll still rely on their perceptions and ideas more than on other’s. So I am sure that he would try to change but he mostly wouldn’t succeed because it’s not a matter of, idk, not eating something anymore, which is just a matter of willpower, it would be a matter of changing his own mind and deepest thoughts, and it’s almost impossible. Especially when it comes to protecting Sasuke, his little brother, that he loves and for whom he feels a duty to act like a big brother, which means also deciding for him.

I have a whole itachi tag where everything related to him has been discussed. And a whole itachi/sasuke tag, same as above.

(if anyone thinks differently, don’t bother discussing with me, I’m not interested~)
