How did Itachi Uchiha define peace?

Peace, he believed, wasn’t the absence of war but the ability to understand an enemy’s grief without succumbing to hatred. Even after his redemption, he argued that true harmony requires shared burdens, not unilateral control.

What did Itachi consider the greatest threat to the shinobi world?

Unchecked hatred and mutual distrust among villages, which he believed would perpetuate endless conflict. His actions were aimed at creating spaces for dialogue, even if forced through suffering.
