Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Hagoromo?

Yes, as wild as it sounds, the theory can be backed by multiple points. Without any further ado, let's dive deep and know how much of the truth this holds.
Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Hagoromo
As we know from Naruto Shippuden, Hagoromo had two sons - Indra and Ashura. Indra was reincarnated first as Madara and then as Sasuke. On the other hand, Ashura was reincarnated first as Hashirama and then as Naruto. Coming to Itachi, he was the only character in the anime that possessed better skills than the mentioned two, which backs the claim of him being the reincarnation of Hagoromo.
Moreover, Itachi was more mature and sharper than the elders of Hidden Leaf at a mere age of seven. And he never used his powers or abilities to induce corruption like other Uchihas - Madara and Sasuke.
The way he was focused on his mission - to save Konoha from all the threats, along with considering future aspects of his actions, is something only a god-tier shinobi can pull off. In addition, Itachi's Tsukuyomi was one of the most powerful in the show, and it's not just a regular Sharingan magic trick that any other Uchiha can do.
One of the most important points here is that none of us can forget that Itachi was the only one who was never in control of Kabuto when he came back to Earth via the reanimation jutsu. All these events and traits suggest that Itachi was not just a regular Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf village. If not a direct reincarnation, Itachi definitely was the spiritual successor of Hagoromo.
