Story Of Naruto Shippuden-Manga Chapter 394

It is revealed in Naruto Shippuuden Chapter 394 that Itachi has died. However, everything thing in Naruto Shippuuden should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, we saw Orochimaru's supposed demise approximately 50 chapters ago and this turned out to not be the case. Zetsu reveals that Itachi was out of his element, and there was that mysterious encounter between Naruto and Itachi in which Itachi questions Naruto's bond with Sasuke. I feel that the backstory behind Itachi still has a few gaping holes that still need to be answered. Most, if not all of the major characters in Naruto are multi dimensional, and Itachi is no exception.

The main inconsistency I found was that although Sasuke was powerful, his Sharingan was not fully developed because he did not kill his best friend Naruto. It is mentioned that Madara was able to achieve his full potential and have the Sharingan forever by taking his brother's fully developed eyes for his own. However, if Itachi were able to steal Sasuke's eyes, he would not be getting eyes which had obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan. The mystery behing the Sharingan still remains, as we see Kakashi able to obtain an additional type of Sharingan.

Despite all this, I'm glad that Itachi has a stronger presence in Naruto Shippuuden than his came in Naruto!!
