POP Itachi (Naruto Shippuden)

Itachi Uchiwa is the big brother of Sasuke, one of the protagonists of the manga Naruto. Itachi is a calm, perceptive and mature ninja. Moreover, he is an exceptional ninja: from his youngest age, at 7 years old he becomes genin, chûnin at 10 years old and he even becomes captain of the special forces of Konoha, "L'Anbu" at the age of 13. He is also a member of the old and famous Uchiwa clan of which he exterminated all the members leaving only his little brother Sasuke as a survivor. Then, he left the village as a deserter to join a criminal organization, the most wanted in the world of Naruto, the Akatsuki, whose objective is the recovery of all the demons with tails. Itachi will team up with Kisame Hoshigaki, a deserter from Kiri village, and go on a quest to find the demons with tails.

Through this Pop! figurine, Funko represents Itachi Uchiwa, the famous deserter from Konoha village. We see Itachi wearing all the objects that show he belongs to the Akatsuki, namely, the famous black dress with red clouds, the red ring he wears on his right ring finger and his Konoha headband voluntarily crossed out, meaning that he is no longer part of his native village. Moreover, the position Itachi takes on this miniature shows us that he is ready to attack his enemy. Indeed, his sharingans are activated, he holds a kunai in his right hand and he makes a sign with his left hand showing that he's probably about to use a genjutsu (a ninja illusion technique).
