Technically, Itachi’s eyes were not entirely his own. Shisui gives his mangekyo (sp?) eyes to Itachi before committing suicide. Shisui knew what was going to happen, and that he alone did not have the power Itachi had to fight back. He was also mortally wounded anyways, so he willingly gave his eyes to Itachi which were then taken by Sasuke. Other than that, I can’t really think of any other Uchiha-Uchiha eye transfers.

You raised an interesting point that I would love to see expanded upon: how Konoha treats other clans. The Hyuga clan seems to be left up to their own devices, though it is implied the leader is a powerful figure in the community. The Uchihas are eradicated as a potential threat to non-Uchiha people, but that hardly is a reason for destruction on that scale. Konoha seems to have semi-friendly relations with other clans, specifically the Sand Village after Gaara becomes kazekage, but even when the five kage summit occurs there is distrust and hostility towards Danzo, a poor example of a Kohona citizen, but he was chosen to be kage, after all. Konoha seems to be pretty hateful and anti-love towards most everyone else, from what I’ve read anyways.

I think the stigma that surrounds fanfiction is an interesting one. I remember telling a friend I was writing The Giver fanfiction and getting laughed at in the middle of a group. Fanfiction is, to me, a ststress-free creative outlet that needs to be explored and understood, almost like a new species of animal. Interesting read, though!
