One of the most unforgettable scenes from Naruto involves Itachi’s death; however, due to him being reanimated later, Itachi actually dies twice over the course of the storyline; once early in Shippuden and later during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Let’s take a closer look at when and how Itachi met his demise in manga chapters and anime episodes.

They engage in an epic duel until suddenly Itachi collapses unexpectedly before any harm comes to Sasuke. This shocks both combatants, however.
Tobi later informs Sasuke of Itachi’s efforts to protect him, even during this fight.

Kabuto Yakushi used Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Itachi along with several other dead shinobi who had fallen during the Fourth Shinobi World War, though his control over him wasn’t completely restored; hence forcing it into combat against Naruto and Killer Bee.

Together with Naruto and Killer Bee, Itachi confronts Nagato, another reanimated shinobi under Kabuto’s control, and they manage to defeat her successfully.
Following this event, Itachi meets Sasuke and together they take on Kabuto together.

In conclusion, Itachi Uchiha’s first death at Sasuke’s hands was intended as his true end – his love for Sasuke informed many of his decisions, including this one.
