Lol, Itachi can beat anyone in this anime, what are you talking about?

1. AY has to get close to hit Itachi, Itachi is in Susanoo, Amaterasu on Susanoo, gets burned. Btw he can't damage the Susanoo too much, most likely he can only crack it. Also, the whole battlefield could have Amaterasu on it.

2. Gets grabbed then hit once with Totsuka Blade.

3. Gets hit by Tsukuyomi. (honestly the sharingan is already too much for him)

4. Runs into Totsuka Blade with his finger. (lol)

5. Itachi could be the fastest character in the series but never had to move too much to show it. How do you know he's not the fastest, since it's said he's the only character who could sit down and finish every fight? He never had to get serious.

6. Even without the Susanoo the only thing every other characters would hit is his crow clones.

7. Raikage could be hitting himself without even knowing it all along, thinking he's hitting Itachi.

Totsuka Blade is the strongest weapon in all of Naruto, anyone hit by it once gets stuck forever in another dimension. It is what is called a "hax" skill. The Sharingan is also a hax ability, and these hax abilities are the only thing Naruto Characters have that can give them a chance vs DBZ characters for example, and trust me, Goku could obliterate AY in less than a second.

Bro, Itachi is a few times faster than Lightning. Sasuke got blitzed by Ay 4th raikage remember? Naruto dodged Ay 4th, then a dead Itachi dodged Naruto in his KCM mode.

Like I said he never had to use his full power, he could be weakened, dying and still beat the top tiers in the anime. Along with a lot of hax abilities, he basically has everything going on for him

With Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade alone he has the potential to beat everybody in the Narutoverse and even the Borutoverse.

One deflects all attacks and the other can slash through anything and imprison someone forever in another dimension with just one touch.

Everyone who says there are stronger characters than Itachi in the series is oblivious to these facts and just looks at the physical feats, or thinks, since a character is presented later in the series he must be stronger. Well, no.

With the Totsuka Blade he can seal anything and anyone if he plays his cards right. With all his other abilities and intelligence, and the fact he may be way faster than you think, he'll play his cards right every single time. Itachi was sick in his edo tensei form by the way.

AY is fodder to him.

He was sick when he died so I assumed his Edo Tensei form was also weakened. Regardless of that, all Edo Tensei forms are weaker versions of the ninjas when they were alive, just that they have more durability and chakra in Edo Tensei.

I already stated he was able to dodge KCM Naruto, but I will give you one more feat you seem to forget. He was able to create a Susanoo and deflect Kirin, thus he is considered faster than lightning, since Kirin is supposed to be literal Lightning in the anime.

This is why Itachi can beat anyone in the series:

1. Totsuka Blade can absorb and imprison something in another dimension with just one touch, it can be used for both attack and defense. For example, Totsuka blade can absorb Madara's meteors, can absorb his entire Susanoo along with him.

2. Yata Mirror can block anything (defense)

3. Susanoo (another form that gives him extra attack and defense), the Susanoo is chakra so he can move as fast with it than without it

4. Now for speed, he was able to create the Susanoo before Kirin hit him (lightning). He also dodged Kurama Naruto which was able to dodge Ay Fourth Raikage. We don't know much about his speed since he was the only character in the series who was stated to be able to beat anyone without even moving. He could actually be the fastest character in the series, how do you know he's not?

5. Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror are clearly Hax abilities, but then he also has a special type of Sharingan which is able to do the Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Amaterasu, Izanami and Izanagi. Tsukuyomi is the second greatest genjutsu in the series after Shisui's. He also has Shisui's eye in the crow.

6. If Itachi is trolling, all the other characters in the anime would only hit themselves or his crow clones.

The end.

1. It can seal anyone it touches, it can't be blocked since it's a spirit weapon. Even if it doesn't seal inorganic material it still turns it to liquid for a while, it just spills out of the gourd and eventually turns back to what it was, but is not a danger anymore. Then again, you might argue the Kusanagi Blade was spilled because it was also a special type weapon. Everything else was absorbed when he fought Orochimaru.

2. Yata mirror actually deflects any attack, if he used Yata mirror against kirin, it would be thrown back at Sasuke. Itachi didn't want that so he tanked the hit with the Susanoo. So the Susanoo alone is a great defense.

3. Even if he is not the fastest, he is one of the fastest. And we never got the chance to see him at full speed. That statement was somewhere in the manga, along the lines that he's the only ninja who can just sit calmly somewhere and finish any battle. Don't remember the exact words, and can't seem to find the image anymore.

4. Also I was joking with the crow clones.

Well you clearly downplayed Itachi in the original post.

Lol the original poster thought the raikage could just get behind itachi and pierce his susanoo and kill him. While Itachi is not doing anything. Even so, at best it could only crack the susanoo, or his finger going inside the susanoo a little bit, not enough to reach itachi.

TBH Kirin is a stronger jutsu than raikage's finger.

Even Zetsu who knew everyone's level of power and abilities all the way up to Kaguya stated Itachi is invincible.

get your facts straight

Btw it states here that anyone and anything it pierces will be trapped in another realm for eternity. So he can trap objects too if he wants based on this.

^Kaguya soloed by Itachi

Yep, without prep and kunais in the right spots he is fodder to Itachi and the other strong characters.

Well, depends what Minato you're talking about. In Kurama form he was faster obviously but the normal version relied too much on Kunais for "speed".

Yeah, I know. But for the Raikage at least it was his own body. Fact is Minato relies on external objects for his speed. At least, there's probably always a kunai with his formula lying around somewhere so he can get out of almost any situation.

You forgot to mention Itachi could one shot him at any time with Totsuka Blade which cannot be dodged since it's some form of spirtual sake, and his speed is ranked 5/5 in the databooks, higher than Sasuke/Kakashi/Lee, who only have 4.5. Totsuka Blade can materialize just as fast as the Susanoo, since it's part of it. And Itachi did that while Kirin which is lightning was trying to reach him.

Also he didn't mean to kill him, because then they would be stuck with Edo Tensei units running around.

Kabuto is literal * compared to Itachi. He'd just destroy him in a second like he did with Orochimaru every time he met him. Orochimaru who supposedly has more tricks up his sleeve.

When he cut him I believe Izanami was already taking place, and Itachi knew nothing would happen to him if he got hurt, since he was Edo. He wanted to fini* quick so Sasuke wouldn't get hurt.

Yea and he lost his arm in the process and would of lost more if Gaara didn't intervene.
