In the light novel series _Itachi's Story_ , there are several points in later
chapters where Danzo suggests to the Third Hokage that they increase Itachi's
official age by one year, to allow him to get around age restrictions the
Hokage has made on being a captain. When I was reading this, I couldn't help
but feel like this was some kind of plot fix to explain an error the author
had made with Itachi's age during some event in the timeline. Is this the
case? And if so, what was the error? If not, is there another reason the
author of this book was so insistent on bumping up Itachi's age?

Is Danzo's attempt to increase Itachi's official age a retroactive explanation for an author mistake?
