No, the Konoha Elders told itachi to kill the Uchiha clan only because they were planning to attack the hidden leave village and destroy it. Itachi didn't want to, but the elders made him. He begged that he would let Sasuke live and the elders said ONLY Sasuke. And Itachi wanted Sasuke to kill him because if Sasuke wouldn't have killled him he would have died from eye disease. He needed Sasuke to kill him sonn, otherwise he would have died without fulfilling his mission. Note: The Third Hokage tried to diplomatically stop the Uchihas from rebelling, but with no success.

Why is Itachi represented as a weasel?

because the name Itachi means weasal.
His name is weasal as a metaphor to his actual personality. A
weasal is a sly and cunning animal as well as Itachi. He takes on
the persona of an evil person in order to make his brother stronger
and to protect the hidden leaf village. Thus tricking people to
believe he is evil.

Is Sasuke evil?

No. Sasuke is not evil. He is just feeling sad for his brother,
Itachi. Which was forced to kill Sasuke's family. So Sasuke is just
trying to revenge Konoha that forced Itachi to kill his family. You
heard Naruto, Naruto said to Sasuke he knew his feelings.
Sasuke is not evil. He just wants revenge. Although I must admit
that he is a little obssessed with revenge.

Why Sasuke and itachi hate each other?

When Sasuke was little he had a loving brother, Itachi. Itachi
was forced to kill his clan, but he refused to kill his brother,
the konoha elders threatened to start a war if he didn't. Itachi
hated fighting but he was forced to and he pretended to be evil so
his brother would be known as a hero one day after he killed
itachi. Itachi never hated Sasuke , infact cared about him more
than the village and his own life. After itachi lets sasuke kill
him (although sasuke didnt know this.) Madarra told him why itachi
assassinated the clan and that it was the senju's fault and
selfishness. Now sasuke is filled with revenge and plans to destroy
The hidden leaf village.

Is itachi good?

Itachi is good. He's not really evil. See the thing is that he
was ordered by the hidden leaf village to kill the Uchiha clan. He
is now a spy in the Akatsuki, how do you think that the Leaf always
seem to know what Akatsuki is up to? Itachi was ordered to kill his
whole clan, but he couldn't bring himself to kill his brother.
I think the whole thing is really sad :(
