**Did Itachi Uchiha want to be Hokage when he was young?**

---

My research:

* Hiruzen said that Itachi reasoned like a Hokage at a very young age.

> \*Itachi Uchiha, age four. After seeing what occurs on the battlefield up close, he makes a certain decision. ***He decided that he would change the world. The dream that Itachi aimed for. His dream: A Hokage from the Uchiha clan, and a future where those he loved could live in peace***. His time in the ninja academy, his meeting with Shisui, becoming a Genin, Chunin, and finally a member of the Anbu… Itachi ran straight down a path of glory, not knowing that a cruel darkness was spreading…This is the story of the glory, frustration, and determination of the ninja called a genius.\*
