Itachi: "There you will find what purpose the doujutsu of the Uchiha clan originally served. The real secret is written there."
Kyuubi: "Such would be the power of that accursed Sharingan...and your forsaken ancestry.
Sasuke: "Well, it would appear...this isn't the first time you've gazed into eyes such as these...Which would make you...the nine-tailed demon fox, no doubt..."
At the Uchiha clan's secret meeting place, Sasuke read the true and original purpose of the clan's sharingan. This secret knowledge is perhaps the same secret knowledge that allowed him to figure out Kyuubi's identity solely based on the demon fox's knowledge of the Sharingan.
Kyuubi: "I will say...one more thing. Don't...kill...Naruto. You'll...regret.."
Kyuubi doesn't seem the softy type to warn Sasuke over the regret he'll feel over killing Naruto and nor is Kyuubi in a place to make threats. We've seen from the Tsunade Arc, that Naruto's death will lead to darkness and perhaps death for Kyuubi, not a free ticket out of his prison cell.
But perhaps the real secret is the Sharingan is a bloodline that acts like a sealing jutsu. Perhaps with a look at a dying Jinchuuriki would automatically seal the Bijuu inside the dying Jinchuuriki into the Sharingan user. Killing Naruto will only lead to Kyuubi being resealed inside Sasuke.
This may place whole new meanings to the duties of the Uchiha clan, the duties that Itachi tired of.
Kakashi: "They say that two men had conflict with each other long ago. This river was created from the results of that fight. Looking at it...It seems as if the current will never stop, but continue on for eternity, reliving the battle....They [Naruto and Sasuke] share the same destinies as those two figures that created the village..."
Shodai - the man who was made Hokage due to his power to control a Bijuu's chakra - and the other individual fought a massive battle. The other individual could be the Uchiha Madara that Kyuubi mentioned, whose power and chakra was similar to Sasuke's. If this other individual was an Uchiha and had a life remarkably like Sasuke's, then perhaps he dreamed of building the Uchiha clan and was obsessed with revenge against someone who had wronged him. If this individual were a Jinchuuriki made for war, then he certainly would have reason for revenge, much like Gaara.
Kakashi: "They say that the Uchiha clan's origins lie with the Hyuga clan. The Byakugan is one of the advance blood abilities passed down in the Hyuuga House. It's an eye ability similar to the Sharingan, but ...In terms of the ability of insight...it surpasses the Sharingan."
According to Kakashi, the Uchiha clan's origin is within the Hyuuga and thus the Sharingan is related to the Byakugan, but if the true purpose of the Sharingan is to seal Kyuubi then the Hyuuga must be connected to that as well. The Hyuuga maybe who VotE Guy/Madara wanted revenge on.
The Hyuuga clan are one of the oldest and powerful clans of Konoha. They have both experience with their own doujutsu and with cursed seals meant to seal up the Byakugan upon death.
The Hyuuga probably existed long before the Konoha village and without a great leader like a Hokage, they had to deal with pesky things like a rampaging demon fox on their own.
They created a new bloodline from their own, one that lacked the strengths of the Byakugan, but one that acted like a sealing jutsu - a type of jutsu that seals something inside another thing. They also created a third House...a house of human sacrifices that would eventually become the Uchiha.
It isn't a coincidence that the marks on the Sharingan eye resemble tomoe so much. Tomoe have also been used in other seals, like Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven. In this case, the Sharingan's tomoe are black marks on the eye rather than the skin. Since it is a seal made by a bloodline, each mark is added as the bloodline matures until the seal is complete.
The abilities to copy and predict are unexpected benifits due to such a powerful seal being placed over eyes that are related to the powerful Byakugan. As the seal grows stronger so does the powers of the Sharingan that we are all familiar with.
Fugaku: "Fu Fu Fu [evil laughter]. As expected from my child...Entering the ANBU Squad, I knew I could trust you with my heart."
The secret duty of the Uchiha clan is to keep Kyuubi sealed within one of their members, except something went horribly wrong 12 years before the start of the series. Kyuubi got out and only Yondaime could stop his rampage by sealing him inside baby Naruto.
Perhaps this would mean the end of their secret duty...but perhaps Uchiha Fugaku had plans to get Kyuubi sealed and hidden in a Jinchuuriki from the Uchiha clan. To do that it would require killing Naruto and to do that under the Sandaime Hokage's watchful eye would require infiltrating ANBU.
Jiraiya: "If you go after Sasuke, training will be out of the question. You'll be followed by ANBU whenever you leave Konoha...You're no normal kid...because you carry the Kyuubi."
If Naruto left the village then ANBU would follow - ANBU duties including assassinating and bodyguarding - it wouldn't be a far stretch to imagine if Naruto had turned out like Gaara, they would have to kill him as well. If Itachi got into ANBU then he could stage an excuse to kill Naruto. Itachi was the son of the clan (both Gaara and Naruto seem to be sons of Kages) and mastered the Sharingan at such an early age he would have been perfect as the next Jinchuuriki.
Letter: "I'm tired of the duties...there is no future for Uchiha...and for me...I cannot walk out the 'path' any further..."
Shisui's "suicide" letter written by Itachi may have expressed Itachi's own feelings. Not surprising, so far in the series no one has really wanted to be a Jinchuuriki.
But what of the Mangekyou Sharingan? Where does it fit in all of this?
Itachi: "If you open your eyes to the truth...including myself, there will be three people who can handle the Mangekyou Sharingan. In that case...there would be reason to let you live."
So perhaps one of the criteria to activating the MS is realizing the Sharingan is a seal...it is still a bloodline, but its powers are due to the fact it is a seal strong enough to seal Kyuubi.
The activated state of the MS is not unlike a seal releasing, the tomoe grow in size and in Kakashi's case change in shape. We've seen other seals release - Orochimaru's cursed seal forcibly pulls chakra and removes the limits of jutsu and Tsunade's shadow seal releases chakra she has slowly gathered over time. So the MS might unlease the power of the tomoe seal.
Orochimaru: "Because he [Itachi] is stronger than me. That is why I left that organization."
This may even provide an explanation toward Orochimaru's comment. He can't possess Itachi's body with his immortality jutsu because the MS ability to release the seal may protect Itachi from any form of possession. Afer all, if the MS is a release of the seal, then if something were really sealed inside of him then it would be released as well.
Perhaps, Itachi was even willing to kill his best friend in order to obtain a level of Sharingan that wouldn't seal a Bijuu inside of him, which would protect him from his Uchiha duty.
Kyuubi: "Such would be the power of that accursed Sharingan...and your forsaken ancestry.
Sasuke: "Well, it would appear...this isn't the first time you've gazed into eyes such as these...Which would make you...the nine-tailed demon fox, no doubt..."
