Part/Book 1 of Twilight Uchiha: Senya.
On hiatus until I get inspired again.
If a unicorn is put through too much stress, their horns begin to cast at random. Sometimes, it's as little as a levitation spell. This isn't one of those times. It's the worst case scenario of being teleported into another dimension, and the mind being nearly wiped clean, save for some images. Nothing solid. And guess who it happened to? None other than Twilight Sparkle.
To 'Madara, this presents an opportunity to spread the Uchiha genes elsewhere. But, he can't watch over her until Celestia arrives to pick her up. So, using his negotiation skills, he convinces Itachi to watch over her, as her big brother and student.(Because, let's face it. If Itachi was a parent at 13...) He accepts, and notices a likeness to a character in a book he read, and keeps on him, during and after the Third Great Ninja War.
To Itachi, this means he can try to have a better relationship with a sibling, and have someone to tell everything to. He knows she'll leave one day, but until that day comes, he'll watch over her like he would Sasuke.
Basically? In lay mans terms? Twilight in the Ninja World, being watched over by Itachi after Obito implanted her with a sharingan and some Uchiha DNA. Not a lot.
...I'd trust Orochimaru to watch over Twilight far more than Uchiha Itachi. At least Orochimaru is relatively honest with himself.
Itachi?
Itachi pulls off shit that makes Orochimaru look benign. He brutally murders his entire clan, from infants to the old, for the sake of "peace", traumatizes Sasuke to the point that Sasuke is a bitter, anti-social misanthrope, mind rapes Kakashi, mind rapes Sasuke again and puts him into a coma and then is revealed to be secretly "good" when his actions are sufficiently horrible enough that no villain has ever yet reached that scope.
Itachi is a Hero with an F in Good. His history would horrify Twilight; instead of attempting to ask for mercy for his clan or just to kill the would-be usurpers, he slaughters everyone like hogs and then starts off Sasuke's descent into insanity.
Well, arguably Pain, King of All Massive Overreactions, is far worse.
Also, it's Hoshigaki Kisame, not Hoshikagi.

(Knew I'd misspell it. NonDocs Spell Check sucks like that.)
And, actually, in the 4th Great Ninja War, he stops the reanimation jutsu... That's something. *shrug*. And, everyone seems to forget that Obito helped, making you wonder just HOW much of a role Itachi actually had in the massacre of the clan... just saying.
Then there was the fact that, if Itachi didn't kill the clan, they would have succeeded in their coup, making the 4th Great Ninja War occur(Because the Ninja War likes exploiting weak countries, see Village Hidden in the Rain.), and Sasuke would have been traumatized more by the horrors of war.
And, while I can't endorse the "Mind raping", as you put it, I think Itachi's actions off screen were better than those on screen. Like how he was the one who kept the Akatsuki from attacking Konaha... until he died... yeah.
And, actually, it was Obito that really pushed Sasuke into the abyss of madness... Obito's like Genesis, holy Sage... Then again, everyone calling Sasuke on surviving the Uchiha massacre also helped. And Orochimaru, let's not forget Orochimaru.
See, at first, Sasuke was happy with finishing the job Itachi left behind by killing him. Then Orochimaru twisted his desire, but his desire was still to kill Itachi. Then, he was happy with living in Konaha, but Orochimaru wouldn't have that, so he sent the Sound 4 to push Sasuke to him. Then after 2 years, Sasuke kills Orochimaru to get free of his influence(except he didn't. Die in snakey's case, and get free of his influence in hawk's case), and went off to kill Itachi. Itachi and Sasuke fight, and Sasuke wins, and then wants to go after Obito, who then twists Itachi's story to make Sasuke want revenge against Konaha. After he kills Danzo, he goes all Kira on us.
But then, he meets Itachi in the 4GNW(4th Great Ninja War), and he wants to know the truth from Itachi's lips. Then Kabuto shows up, and tries to twist both Itachi and Sasuke into fighting each other. The three fight, and Itachi's able to show Sasuke the truth, which only really highlights how heart broken Itachi was about having to kill his clan, and how he was crying severely when he had to kill his parents.
He didn't kill the clan because he was told there was no other choice. He killed the clan because Danzo manipulated the peace-loving Itachi into believing there WAS no other choice.
Itachi's past'll come into play later. I like to play cards like those slowly, and at the right time.
Thank you for your thoughts, however. I appreciate them.

Orochimaru did nothing. He literally didn't have to lift a finger after Itachi mindraped Sasuke again and essentially undid every ounce of character development Sasuke went through, and turned the Snake's taunt to Kakashi into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course Sasuke would desire power, after Itachi showed that he was a weakling that would never be strong enough to protect his friends from him.
Tobitodara simply took advantage of Itachi's constant manipulations.
Congratulations Sasuke, even after all these years you're still Itachi's little puppet dancing to his strings.
Personally, I think Itachi is a zealot. It also explains his "mindrape mindrape more mindrape" deal; he's a sociopath who literally does not know any better. Desensitized as he is to bloodshed and slaughter, I think Itachi simply does not know any better and is emotionally stunted.

...Are we just going to ignore Danzo? I mean, he's the one who played on Itachi's beliefs. And, after the massacre, Itachi was resigned to being killed by Sasuke. When he appeared after the Chunin Exams, he had no intention of fighting Sasuke. And, when he did, he had no idea what Sasuke was doing the past... 3 years? That sounds right.
And, it was after Itachi's visit that Kakashi sat Sasuke down for the 'Don't get swallowed by revenge' speech. And, Sasuke seemed to buy that.
But that all changed when the Sound 4 showed up, and confirmed how weak Sasuke was.(I could go into filler, the Land of Rice also playing into it, but I won't.)
On top of that, Itachi was simply playing the role of what Sasuke saw him as-a ruthless killer with no remorse. Like Tobitodara, he was very into his role, as seen when he refers to himself as Madara, knowing all the actions Madara took, and even keeping the guise of Tobi going when there's no Akatsuki members around. So...
I mean, sure, Itachi could have just killed the clan and left before Sasuke got there, but then Itachi wouldn't be able to try and uphold the image he's wanted Sasuke to see since the beginning.
That the Uchiha Clan was one the village should be proud of. By making Sasuke kill him, as an S-rank criminal, he wanted to make Sasuke a hero.
Danzo is Danzo. There's little more to be said. Itachi was mentally unstable enough that he went along with it. Hell, 99% of the series's villains could look at each other and justify themselves by saying "Well, at least I'm not Danzo."
Sasuke's was put into a coma by Itachi, and on waking up challenged Naruto. This is pretty much Itachi's fault; Kakashi may have given a pretty speech but the Sound Four pretty much continued where Itachi left off, and made things worse by proving the Worst Big Brother Ever correct.
This ties into "hate me, loathe me, live in an unsightly manner". Itachi may have wanted Konoha to see Sasuke as a hero, but his actions pretty much guaranteed Sasuke would snap. Itachi may have murdered the Clan, but Sasuke lived through it for 72 hours twice, with Itachi's Sith Lord speech thrown in for good measure.
The funny thing is that it looks like the genocide of the Uchiha has been justified. All the prominent Uchiha in the series have been mentally unstable; from Itachi's Knight Templar tendencies to Sasuke's Heel Face Revolving Door to Obito's massive overreaction syndrome.

Suppose your right. *shrug*.
A for effort, D for proper use of "whom".

Shit, I put whom there? Slip of the keyboard, I'm not exactly use to my new one yet...
Damn people who make keyboards... making it difficult to just gush on a keyboard, because then you hit keys you didn't mean to... That's chapter 1, right? Lemme go fix that...
I wonder how sasuke would react to itachi saying he has a sister now

Funnily enough, we're eventually going to cross that bridge.
Funnier still, I'm working on the opening parts of the Sasuke part of this story...
Well, for the beginning it's more Orochimaru and someone else I won't name, but it'll eventually come to said VIP and Sasuke.
Diedara is a brony!

...For some reason, I can see and not see that at the same time... Gives me an idea, but then it doesn't sound like Deidara...
Sasori would make for a much cleaner brony, and possible competitor with Cupcakes Pie.
Except, you know, he uses the doll to kill everything... Now I hafta wonder if he ever made something similar to the Tails Doll...
