what did itachi say to naruto in the woods

Itachi told Naruto in the woods that he should not try to do everything alone and that becoming Hokage is not about getting everyone’s approval. He also warned Naruto not to become arrogant with power and said that real strength comes from understanding and fighting for others, not just yourself.

In plain terms, the message was:

• Don’t carry everything by yourself.
• Remember the people around you.
• Leadership is about responsibility, not attention.
• Power without humility can make you fail.

That scene is often remembered because Itachi’s words feel less like a threat and more like advice meant to keep Naruto on the right path.
