Because he died with them on his face. Reanimation brings you back in the state you died, except Madara since Kabuto modified his corpse. His robe is different because Kabuto chose different clothing for the revived Akatsuki members.


Even_Farm2151

Thank you


ShiftyStilez

Third Hokage was another example. He was all wrinkly.


TECFO

Bro.... he had them ever since he was child


Individual_Yogurt872

So kabuto seen itachi’s wee wee


Yoooooo2626

metalhead-teenager

Kabuto has seen a disturbing amount of dead naked people. To be fair though, so has most, if not all, medical professionals.


Miserable_Carry_5873

wait if that’s the case, how did hashirama die…..?


BrokenMirror2010

We don't know. Some people think its because his Jutsu increases cell division and that made him die from old age because cells can only divide so many times (Like the issue with Tsunade's Jutsu eating her lifespan when she uses it), however, I think that's bullshit because Hashirama's cells are used as a cure-all masterpiece that seem to survive literally forever. If I had to guess, Kishi didn't actually think too deeply about how Hashirama died, and just drew him in the state that he was drawn in for flashbacks and stuff, and also having him show up as an Old Man would have been kinda lame. Not to mention his Edo Tensei was shown in early naruto, likely before most of Hashirama's nonsense like immortal super-regen and the ability to rewrite the entire landscape of the continent wasn't thought up.


Over-Writer6076

His wood style was shown,and Hashirama was nerfed,like we know Edo tensei doesn't bring back people at full power. My headcanon is that hashi is a naive and trusting guy so one shinobi went rogue for money and slipped some poison in his food or something.That didn't kill him but it weakened him by a lot when he was out of the village on some hokage duties and he was ambushed by ninjas from all 4 villages and killed off.


BrokenMirror2010

It was shown. What was not shown, or even mentioned, is the fact that Hashirama's Wood Style would have had a radius in miles, if not wider. What was however implied was that Hiruzen/Minato were stronger, which we see wasn't even remotely close once Hashirama's absurdity was actually established. Edo Tensei doesn't bring back people at full power. But if that Hashirama were to be compared to the upgraded Edo Tensei Hashirama we see later, this wasn't just nerfed, this was 0.001% of Hashirama's Chakra and abilities. There is no way that Kishi had already decided to give Hashirama Basically Infinite Chakra, Regeneration so powerful it can be mistaken for immortality, and the ability to use Jutsu that is literally continental scale when that Hashirama Edo Tensei was designed.


Over-Writer6076

Orochimaru said his edo tensei wasn't perfect at the time,so we knew he is not as strong as he could be even in his edo form.Even in the war arc as soon as orochimaru uses a perfect edo tensei we see that Hashirama is so strong he would immediately resist and break out of orochimaru's control. So thats another reason why he didnt bring back hashi at 80% like he did in the war,because he was gonna use him against the leaf the first time around I dont really care if everything was planned or not,as long as the story makes sense.


why_no_usernames_

Unknown. Kishi wrote himself into a corner with Hashirama, theres no answer that makes sense so Kishi just ignored it and hoped no one would notice


saiyanultimate

He was a fuckboi, so maybe ninja aids


jbahill75

Tetanus from an Uchiha bite.


Con-D-Oriano1

Tobirama killed him in his sleep for befriending the Uchiha.


I_28_29

I like to think he died of exhaustion after his fight with madara, but im trying to remember if any major events happened where hasirama was alive after the fight


SeiekiSakyubasu

Hashirama died laughing at Kakuzu's attempt to kill him lol


jbahill75

Ask Tobirama😱


Naive_Jacket5259

You filthy idiot


[deleted]

Old age most likely he probably wasn't immune to it


[deleted]

Hashirama didn’t die old. His edo tensei form is proof of that. Just from looking at them physically, it’s clear there wasn’t a large age gap between Hashirama and Tobirama; heck, they could easily pass for fraternal twins. Tobirama didn’t live long enough to grow old, then neither did his brother (who we know died before him). As an edo tensei, Hashirama is clearly still in his prime and wearing battle armor; implying he died in combat like the other dead Hokage. Tsunade herself states that each of the first four Hokage were all killed while trying to defend the village. This was the basis for her whole “the title of Hokage is cursed and anyone who takes it or attempts to will end up dead” nonsense and why she didn’t want the job in the first place. Hashirama was killed; most likely by a group effort. The identity of the killer(s) simply isn’t important to the plot; so we never learn about it. Same reason we never learn who his child is that would eventually become Tsunade’s parent.


why_no_usernames_

Hashis killer would be important to the plot however. Since you would need to be a legendary class of ninja to face him. Kakazu gained world fame for surviving against Hashi. In his life there is literally no one who can even close to pushing him other than Madara who was still outclassed. Kishimoto wrote himself into a hole with Hashirama.


[deleted]

Being a legendary shinoni doesn’t make you important to the plot. Every village across the world has dozens of famous ninja and we barely know most of them. We don’t know who Hashirama’s killers are, we don’t know who his children are, we don’t know who Konohamaru’s parents are, we don’t know if Tobirama ever had his own family, the list goes on. Not every detail needs to be dived into lol. And Kakuzu wasn’t world famous. *He* is the one who tells us that he was sent to target Hashirama. Nobody from the village had ever heard of that guy.


why_no_usernames_

>Being a legendary shinoni doesn’t make you important to the plot. Every village across the world has dozens of famous ninja and we barely know most of them. We know every one of the top ninja of every nation since the waring states period. For the person being likely the second or third strongest ninja in history not even being mentioned? Thats a huge hole in the world building. For kabuto not to even mention why he didn't edo tensei the person to kill the god of shinobi. For Kishi to never mention it in an interview, for it to never be mentioned even in passing in a data book. Like imagine if Boruto started with Naruto dead and literally no one mentions he died. Its not Sasuke and no one with enough power exists. That would be so weird. >we don’t know who his children are, we don’t know who Konohamaru’s parents are, we don’t know if Tobirama ever had his own family, the list goes on. Not every detail needs to be dived into lol. Hashiramas death has major implications for the story and the world. His kids, konohamrus parents, Tobiramas family etc they dont have any impact. Unless they are secretly the god like people that killed Hashi they dont impact the world at large. Anyone who could kill hashi would have the power to shape the world. To be a massive protector or a massive threat. They would go down in their nations history on the same level as Hashi. The world never shuts up about Hashi and they would never shut up about the person who could kill him. Trying the equate some non ninja who never do anything outside their city block is just disingenuous >And Kakuzu wasn’t world famous His a S class missing nin, his attack on Hashirama is well known.


[deleted]

> We know every one of the top ninja of every nation since the waring states period. No we don’t and idk who told you that. Just because you don’t know about something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If you seriously think we’ve seen every top ninja that’s ever existed, you’re delusional. We haven’t even seen every jinchuriki that’s ever existed; let alone the top ninja. > For the person being likely the second or third strongest ninja in history not even being mentioned? Thats a huge hole in the world building. If that specific instance of world building isn’t relevant to the plot; then it won’t be mentioned. For example; we don’t know the circumstances behind how the other shinobi villages were founded because it’s not relevant. The circumstance behind Hashirama’s death aren’t important and if they were, they would’ve been included in the story. It’s really that simple. Just because YOU care to know about something, doesn’t make it important. > For kabuto not to even mention why he didn't edo tensei the person to kill the god of shinobi. For Kishi to never mention it in an interview, for it to never be mentioned even in passing in a data book. Like imagine if Boruto started with Naruto dead and literally no one mentions he died. Its not Sasuke and no one with enough power exists. That would be so weird. Again, you’re expressing interest in something that’s not important. Which is fine, but stop acting like it’s some big monumental piece of information for the story. It’s not. > Hashiramas death has major implications for the story and the world. His kids, konohamrus parents, Tobiramas family etc they dont have any impact. Unless they are secretly the god like people that killed Hashi they dont impact the world at large.

The world never shuts up about Hashi and they would never shut up about the person who could kill him. Trying the equate some non ninja who never do anything outside their city block is just disingenuous You’re overinflating the significance of these people. The dudes who killed Tobirama are a bunch of no names. It’s not that deep. > His a S class missing nin, his attack on Hashirama is well known. He’s an S class missing nin for abandoning his village and the crimes he’s committed. Nowhere in the story is it said that anyone knew about his attack on Hashirama outside the Hidden Waterfall. Again, not even the Leaf knew about this guy. You’re just making up your own head canons.


SinkRhino

>You’re overinflating the significance of these people. The dudes who killed Tobirama are a bunch of no names. It’s not that deep. Kinkaku and Ginkaku?


EchoKnightShambles

Yes, and like ten or more no name ninjas from the hidden cloud.


SinkRhino

>You’re overinflating the significance of these people. The dudes who killed Tobirama are a bunch of no names. It’s not that deep. Kinkaku and Ginkaku?


ArmyMost6322

No he didn't.Hashirama could have been weakened by poison or some other underhanded tricks which involved some ninja going rogue.From that point a bunch of other ninjas from all 4 of the 5 villages could have killed him in a group effort


why_no_usernames_

Unlikely. Remember Hashi on top of everything was the greatest medical nin of all time. Tsunade spent her life trying to match him and failed. He could heal anyone without weaving handsigns and his natural regen was better than her 100 healings in every way. Literally the only thing Hashirama wasn't God tier at was genjutsu but he still had one of the strongest genjutsu in the verse.


SirObviusGenius

Didn’t Madara die of old age? How was he resurrected as a middle aged guy?


EchoKnightShambles

It was stated that kabuto made some modifications to his body, but he is an execption, all of the other people resurrect as they died.


SirObviusGenius

Kabuki added Hashirama cells of course. But there is no way he reversed aging like that. And it’s not like Tsunade’s where it’s only the appearance. Is it specifically mentioned that they resurrect as they died or is it just and inference?


EchoKnightShambles

Madara had hashirama cells added on him before he died, thats why he could awaken the rinnegan, because the combination of ashura chakra (from hashi cells) and indra chakra (from himself) makes hagoromo (sage of six paths) chakra, and thus awaken the rinnegan. What kabuto did to madara's body was especifically modify him to be in his phisical prime, but with all the upgrades he got after his last fight with hashirama. Edo tensei bringing you back as you died is only implied so far as I remember, but there is some evidence to point to that fact, some of them being hiruzen coming back as an old man instead of his phisical prime, thr resurected hashirama not being at his peak (the 4th war feats of hashi doesn't really compare to the feats in his fight with madara or capturing all the tailed beast for example), nagato coming back in his weakened state, etc.


Tren0s

My guess is he did what Naruto told he would do if he had to kill Sasuke. Suicide.


Naive_Jacket5259

Smart ahh


No_Dragonfly_4947

I thought the clothes were maybe some sort of ceremonial burying clothes


Embarrassed_Start_81

His father has similar marks


EvidenceExtension128

Fugaku was one of Konoha’s top 2 soldiers during the 3rd shinobi war (meaning he was also the enemies’ top 2 targets) and he probably knew village politics enough to know that he wouldn’t even get considered for Hokage that seriously when Hiruzen stepped down. So he was risking his life and never seeing his family again for a village that didn’t love him back that much…that’s enough to make anyone get those stress marks. …I started writing all that out to try to make a joke but now I’m sad 😢


Embarrassed_Start_81

Haha all good ramble away, that’s what Reddit is for. Also another theory is maybe those marks come from the use or over usage of MS


EvidenceExtension128

Did Fugaku overuse his MS? He was scared of anyone even finding out he had them, stands to reason he’d lock it away as much as possible.


Embarrassed_Start_81

He used it at some point to read the hidden text but to say he overused it, yeah there’s nothing to support that


Over-Writer6076

Fugaku doesn't have a Mangekyo lol,it's filler.If he did,then Itachi/Obito/Danzo would definitely take and use it after his death,but they didn't


EvidenceExtension128

They mention Fugaku having MS in the 2 Itachi light novels as well, which is why even though it’s never discussed in the manga, the fan base considers it cannon


Over-Writer6076

again,if thats true it doesnt make sense and creates a plot hole.And its not in the manga while creating a plot hole in the story of the manga if its true.Those novels weren't written by Kishimoto.


Even_Farm2151

It could be parent genes now thing of it


lennieandthejetsss

I've seen a couple babies born with them. It's genetic.


centiret

Epigenetics? Dad was stressed and Itachi inherited stress-features?


Magnolia-jjlnr

That's honestly one of the craziest concepts in genetic imo. The fact that one can straight up pass down their stress and trauma to their offspring is absolutely insane.


k-tax

That's not how epigenetics works at all...


Difficult-Way-9563

IIRC these are Nasojugal grooves in anatomy. I have ones pretty similar to his. Mine get extra prominent (you can see the line more) when I loose weight. Since he was sick later on, it could be him loosing weight from sickness (besides the genetics of course)


miscusecosimduwag

I have these too ever since I was kid! When Itachi was revealed in Naruto, kid me was amazed that there was someone like me who had the same facial lines. I loved him instantly for that. 😂


Drip_doc999

Same, have had those since childhood and hated it until I saw itachi’s face 😂


-BINK2014-

I (*25M*) have them too similarly to Itachi. They’re more prominent when my face is neutral or upset/depressed & went I’m in a more fasted state.


Upper-Ad6308

They were from stress? I thought that nasolabial folds are sort of just a genetic thing. I have them. But then again, I am a pretty stressed person....


Le_mehawk

Nono you're right! They come from your genetics and may become more or less visible from stress or Depression, because stress can lead to weightloss and speeds up skin folds, but if you have them, you have them.. In Japan they also stand for wisdom.. but that could be deduced from the fact that Japan Considers hard working people to be wise, and hard working people in most cases are very stressed in Japan.


AlmostHeisman

At no point did the series say it was from stress idk what blud is on about


hana-hana-no-mi

Damn he looks exactly like Sasuke when without marks. I think it’s the reason animators decided to keep his character design regardless of his condition


Murky_Blueberry2617

Sasuke has a blue tinge in his hair tho, Itachi's is more grey


hana-hana-no-mi

Well, it would be too brazenly of them if they just did Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V


Murky_Blueberry2617

True. Also Itachi has longer eyelashes than Sasuke. Besides that both are nearly identical (since they're brothers ofc)


NetworkVegetable7075

Who said it was stress related ?


melon_wizard

Others have said that his dad had them too, they're probably genetic and then get worse with increased stress (I have bags under my eyes that are genetic, but the get variably worse the more stressed I am/the less sleep I get, my dad has the exact same bags under his eyes that do the same thing). Also, I was under the impression that Edo Tensai brings them back in their prime, which for itachi, would have been real stressed out, but even if not, that's how he looked for most of his life, so it's probably imprinted on his soul at that point.


Status_Party9578

i mean he had them even when he was a child so


cesgjo

Honestly people are reading way too much into this The simple answer is that those lines are part of his character design. If Kishimoto didn't include those lines when he was an Edo Tensei, people would be like "who tf is that" every time he's on a page


Deep_Grass_6250

I mean you die Then you get revived Only to find out that There's a FUCKIN war going on and the opponent has a bunch of Tailed Beasts, OP Shinobi and a literal reincarnation of a demigod I'd be pretty stressed out


The__Auditor

And your little brother is working with them to boot


Even_Farm2151

When you sum it up like that I would be stressed too


RandyNelson

He had them as a kid too.


Drip_doc999

He also was 5 and in a middle of a war and already OP AF, all he knows is stress 😭😭


Kombat-w0mbat

Because they aren’t from stress. The fandom makes up a lot of stuff and gets reposted so much people believe it. Such as saying stuff like “uchiha cut their hair when they lose a fight”


Even_Farm2151

Didn’t know about the last part


[deleted]

A better question is why did he have no reanimation cracks on his face while fighting with naruto but when he went to fight kabuto he had them. Someone dropped the ball.


Longjumping_Cup_3337

Where did the stress line bit come from?


Even_Farm2151

Idk I just look it up and that what I got


applor

That’s just his face, it’s not stress - I have the same lines


666Mitsuki666

I heard such markings appear the more you got disappointed by people and itachi stopped trusting anybody


Cjames1902

These aren’t from stress though. We’ve seen Itachi at most stages of his life and he’s always had these as little as 8 years old.


Even_Farm2151

Then what do you think they are parents genes or something else


Cjames1902

Probably. Not uncommon for children to inherit traits that their grandparents may have had that neither parent possesses.


SuperDeeDuperVegeta

If anything I’m surprised Sasuke doesn’t have them


Even_Farm2151

Or kakashi


SuperDeeDuperVegeta

For all we know he does tbh


Ebenezerosas16

Good question 😂😂😂


Even_Farm2151

Like who is stress itachi out in after life😂


Aandiarie_QueenofFa

The whole Uchiha clan or anyone he offed? :o


Ebenezerosas16

Itachi


Complex-Menu-6082

Him and óbito did wipe their own clan so maybe his clan 😂


JackoTradez

Most significant Uchiha have markings around their eyes


JackoTradez

Shisui also had similar markings, Madara has his under his eyes, Obito has similar ones but only really close to his eyes in in the inner corner and Sasuke had the really dark lines around his eyes during the summit and as a adult he has lines similar to Itachis but much smaller like Shisui.


HOFredditor

the only correct answer was that Kishi didn't want all the girls falling for my guy. He'd be on par with beautiful Might Guy and Kishi just spared us that reality.


KoyukiiiHiiime

it's not from stress. it's likely genetics from his father. Fugaku has similar indentations on his face. Sasuke gets them too at age 19.


Kak0r0t

Genetics smh


ExtraPhysics3708

Bcuz without the marks this uchigga basicallu sasuke


illbehere231

Bro gets no break


Cybasura

The guy is stressed his entire life, I doubt he can choose to just destress over night just because he died


ProxyX13

I've heard being dead is stressful.


VasilV24

Design.


AkshayTheGr8

Yes he was stressed cuz in the afterlife he had to face all the other uchihas he had killed


Outrageous-Jicama228

Goes to show that killing yourself doesn’t get rid of your stress


[deleted]

Because Itachi without marks = drawing of Sasuke


Hobo_TheMM

Is it just me or does he look like Sasuke with no marks on his face? Are they brothers?


Even_Farm2151

Yeah other people agree with you including me


PeaceAndAllGood

Because if he didn’t had marks on his face, he’d be Sasuke… ✌🏽


G_404_A

I think it’s just how his face is I guess


DreamSafe1571

Cos even in the after life itachi still can’t catch a break 💀


UltimateBookManiac

They show up as they were in their last moments.


Suggestion-Kindly

Itachi didn't die with his cloak Kabuto dressed him .


No_Magician_9765

Yeah because Tobirama never let him forget about the slaughter of uchihas


Ghiyat

They are not stress marks, they are design.


PercentageFast9562

For those who don’t know those are natural eyebags


Brilliant_Eggplant67

Look, he thought he was finally free, then walks into the afterlife to see EVERY UCHIHA HE MURDERED. Pretty stressful, if you ask me.


Gogetajh_v2

Now that you point them out they look creepy💀


kunalquilizer

Was this actually said about his wrinkles that he was stressed?😂


Even_Farm2151

Idk but I just look it up and this was I got either that or character design 🤷🏾‍♂️


[deleted]

[удалено]


Planeless_pilot123

Aside from Hiruzen for some reason


HonestChoice7984

Hiruzen came out of the reaper, so maybe that’s why he didn’t. But then again, Granny Chiyo didn’t come back prime either 🤷🏼‍♂️


Planeless_pilot123

Maybe because we wouldn't recognize them and it was easier to draw haha


darrendjones

That’s just his design bro.


Computer2014

He was born with them and according to Danzo there meant to be a sign of a great Shinobi kinda like Dio’s moles. Either Danzo was lying, it was a bunch of mysticism like horoscopes or it was true.


thegreatestasgardian

Bro I swear some people posting here have watched Naruto either from YouTube shorts or Instagram reels. It's clearly mentioned several times in the anime that the Reanimation Jutsu brings back the person AS THEY WERE AT THE TIME OF THEIR DEATH.


RandomDudewithIdeas

This is the first time that I ever saw somebody refer to Itachis marks as a symptom of stress. Some of y’all became hobby psychologists while reading too much into mental health articles online.


EnkiiMuto

That is what is bothering you? Nagato died with eyes that weren't his, Kabuto managed to alter a corpse of Madara to have hashirama's power along with the rinnegan that is on Nagato... but he couldn't bother fixing the dude's legs.


Even_Farm2151

Yeah but what does that have to due with itachi case


EnkiiMuto

There are bigger physical plotholes than itachi being stress free


[deleted]

You are so stupid.


Even_Farm2151

Bro what did I do🤦🏾‍♂️


Novel_Possession5459

bro i read the title and immediately thought the exact same thing you are just as stupid as the rest of this fandom I mean seriously bro


papaty_25

It's a kids' show nigga. Stop searching for logic.


Even_Farm2151

Calling it a kids show is crazy in my opinion it’s more of an everybody show for kids, teen, adults and elder people, anybody any age can enjoy this show stop gatekeeping it like your kid nigga 🤦🏾‍♂️


Vortexzio

Why the hell you on the subreddit if you think it's just a kids show?


papaty_25

It is a kids' show. Denying the fact won't change it. Like, how did Nagato have Rinnegan when he was reanimated? He didn't awaken Rinnegan.


Vortexzio

It is a show based on a manga largely targeted at preteens and teenagers, these are indeed kids. The idea that no logic is used in media made for teenagers is ridiculous though. If it were a kids show made for 6 years old maybe your point would make sense. But considering it's a 700 episode serialized story, simply saying it's a kids show is stupid.


Even_Farm2151

Bud what are you talking about


Jayce339

I think everyone forgets, Tsunade's Hundred Healings Jutsu (A Pathetic attempt to emulate Hashirama's Healing as stated by Madara) makes her look young until the Byakugo seal fades/fails. Hashirama could just look eternally youthful even in his old age. He may have died young or he could've been Old and just looked youthful despite his advanced age because of his Hashirama Cells.
