Whenever Itachi Uchiha's name came up, people would always immediately associate it with traitor and murderer. No one ever understood the pain that the young man had gone through. Its one thing to condemn a man for slaughtering his family, but Itachi's case wasn't nearly so clean cut. What is a man who kills his family under orders from the state because his family is planing a coup? Is he a hero? Is he a traitor? Or, is he simply a man caught by events beyond his control?
In Itachi's eyes, he was to be the end and the beginning of the Uchiha Clan. He would be the end by destroying the corrupt old clan, and he would be the beginning by allowing Sasuke to grow up believing in what the clan should have been. Once Sasuke killed him, the last of the old Uchiha Clan would be no more and a better clan would rise up in the ashes.
But, a serious kink developed in Itachi's plan. Sasuke had ran away Konoha to train under Orochimaru. In trying to show that the old clan ways about gaining strength were flawed, Itachi had accidentally caused Sasuke to embrace them. At this point, Itachi realized that he needed a backup plan in case he couldn't get Sasuke to see the light. The quickly created Plan B was extremely simple: father a child and insure that the child was raised properly. Itachi knew that he'd have to find a good mother for the child because there was no way that he could be in the child's life.
To insure that Madara never found out about Itachi's plan, the genius of the Uchiha Clan used Kamui to transport himself to another world. Once there, Itachi quickly found a young woman who was having troubles with her husband. Itachi started to woe the woman and eventually bedded her. It pained Itachi when the woman eventually got back with her husband, but he knew it was for the best. The last time that Itachi ever saw his lover was when she gave birth to their daughter. After holding his daughter for the only time, Itachi handed his lover a set of scrolls explaining Chakra, how to preform various jutsus, and information on the Uchiha Clan along with the Sharingan. That was the only contact Itachi ever had with his daughter:
