Itachi is pro Konoha but more importantly, pro Sasuke.

he was willing to risk a new world war to secure Sasuke's standing, so extremes for Itachi are obviously not off the table. What he really wanted was for Sasuke to be strong enough to kill him, which would make him a hero and too powerful for Danzo to get rid of.

There is no good or bad, there’s doing what’s good for Konoha and his brother.

Itachi wanted Sasuke to be a hero and murder him. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was willing to let Sasuke kill his closest friend for this—he did break Sasuke’s arm and mentally torment him until he went comatose for his mission.

so naruto was not innocent
Eh, he’s the main character so he gets away with a lot

Most Ninja, even the kindest among them, have to do something fucked up at some point in their careers

Minato is a good example. He’s no Kenpachi or Kisame but he would kill if he had to. Hashirama was the same

Naruto is the only exception because he’s the main character

They were never shown to be bad ninjas so saying they were probably bad is just trying to justify itachis actions

I’m not saying they were “bad” I’m saying they likely had to do fucked up things at some point just like most Ninja

I’m not justifying the massacre, I think Itachi’s deluded and a terrible brother

He put Sasuke in a genjutsu replaying his clan’s death for 24 hours. All at what? 7 years old?

He is far from being a good person

People dont know that. Nobody gave two fucks kakashi killed a friend

nobody would give two fucks for sasuke as well
I mean... not really? Kakashi was called a Friend Killer by people in the village

Not to mention the situations are very different

Rin housed a Tailed Beast and had to be killed (well not if Minato were there but still)

Sasuke would've killed Naruto for his own power

I said most not all

Like the others answer, Itachi wanted sasuke to awaken MS. The crime of killing his best friend would probably be forgiven if he managed to “kill” Itachi since Itachi was a huge criminal.
