Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Itachi"

Q: Actually Itachi was Konoha side. bu doğru görünüyor mu?

Q: Itachi is definitely a favorite for me. I've been with Naruto since the first chapter in Shonen Jump, so more than half my life, cause that came out 16 years ago, now. I owe a lot to it, because if it weren't for Naruto, I wouldn't have met my boyfriend, or my best friend. The story itself has helped me through a lot in my life, so I have a very deep, strong personal connection to it. But because of the amount of emotional turmoil it puts me through, if I ever meet Kishimoto-san, I'm very likely to punch him! XD

what is this ''punch him'' mean? just hit him? or is there the other mean?
