    Yeah, Tendo, is again I think a KCM1 level threat. I think it would be rather awkward that other akatsuki members such as Kisame can be reached to that speed and Pain is some ‘sub-sage mode’ Naruto level opponent when that’s not with Pain’s intricate monster narrative.

    Itachi vs Pain 1. Itachi, Naruto & Bee Vs Nagato (controlled by Kabuto) There's a huge difference. Kabuto almost forgot about Chibaku. The real Nagato wouldn't have just stood there like a puppet. Nagato has sensory to spot Kabuto for Itachi to find. He'll easily spot Itachi nearby. Plus, Itachi had to remind Kabuto that Nagato had sensory. Itachi was finished when Nagato casted Chibaku (Planetary Devastation). The real Nagato wouldn't allow Itachi's Totsuka blade to reach the core too. 2. Naruto vs Pain = Pain (after Konoha destroyed) - Jiraiya's info - Prep time with 2 Sage clones - Needed help from Frog Sage to reverse summon Naruto's clones - Tsunade's slug advising Naruto, maybe healing too - Pain almost made Naruto lose hope when he pinned him down until Hinata SUPER triggered him. - Minato had to reseal for Naruto, and rebuild his confidence. - Naruto gained Sage mode after being saved by Minato. - Naruto fought drained Pain after destroying the whole damn village! - On top of all of this, Pain never attacked Naruto with the intention to kill. Naruto attacked purely to kill. Naruto would've been SUPER dead if it was truly 1 vs 1. They both were taught by Jiraiya, and came from the Uzumaki clan. Pain, "You and I are sibling disciples. As students of the same master, we ought to be able to understand one another." (A joke with truth) 3. Itachi Vs Pain = Pain Ultimately, it'll come down to who has more chakra, Nagato. Pain is too much of a powerhouse for Itachi to last. Itachi is finished once his Susano'o is gone, assuming he's nearly or is out of chakra. Think about how well Nagato was able to control the Six Paths simultaneously. Even Pain's puppet uses advanced technologies greater than ours, like lasers and homing missiles. Amaterasu will do absolutely nothing because it'll get absorbed or pulled off immediately! Not to mention, Amaterasu could get absorbed with a scroll, like how Jiraiya did after Itachi and Kisame ran away from Jiraiya's jutsu. I'm sure Jiraiya taught him about it. Raikage dodged Amaterasu against Sasuke, which means it's not as fast as Sasuke's Kirin (lightning). Gaara easily pulled out Madara out of his Susano'o. That means Itachi won't be perfectly guarded. Maybe Pain could pull him out because when he pulls, I don't think anything must enter Susano'o to grab Itachi, however, a push seems different. If Itachi's Totsuka blade can't reach the core of Pain's Chibaku, then he'll get trapped inside along with Susano'o. Susano'o won't be able to move. Visual genjutsu doesn't work on Rinnegan. (Proof): Naruto chapter 677 page 9 aka page 678. Infinite Tsukuyomi does not work on three things that were stated in the manga; Perfect Susano'o, Rinnegan and the reanimated (undead). Black Zetsu, "The light can't penetrate that Susano'o? His Rinnegan can deter even this jutsu?" This means not even the Infinite Tsukuyomi can work on Perfect Susano'o and Rinnegan. Also, Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan is TWO LEVELS BEHIND Rinnegan, while the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is one level behind. Rinnegan requires Uchiha and Senju blood to activate. It is extremely rare and powerful. Why would the author make Rinnegan so LEGENDARY? The story made it clear that it was more powerful than any eye, including Mangekyō Sharingan. All that legendary talk for what? The author, Masashi Kishimoto, stated that Pain is the strongest Akatsuki. "The strongest man in Akatsuki heads for Naruto." Some people try to curve this by stating the time when Itachi gave Naruto his power, but obviously, it was referring to Pain because he was FINALLY being revealed. The author wouldn't ruin the hype by stating, "Oh, I was referring to Itachi" because it would stop the exciting momentum. It wouldn't follow the flow. Here's another question. Why didn't Itachi use Tsukuyomi right after Nagato casted Chibaku (Planetary Devastation), nor at all? Itachi knew he had infinite chakra too. He could've disabled Nagato so easily with it. Itachi probably knew that it wouldn't have worked against Rinnegan. If he wasn't sure then he would've at least tested it out because it's better than risking death or being captured. Itachi used Amaterasu multiple times, but he wouldn't even use Tsukuyomi once? It's because he never used it that answers the question about Rinnegan able to block all visual genjutsu, including Tsukuyomi. Kakashi never put Rinnegan-Obito under genjutsu. Only one person can put the other person in genjutsu at a time, not both at a time. You can't have Obito put Kakashi in genjutsu WHILE Kakashi put Obito in genjutsu. It's one at a time. Obito was in CONTROL of Kakashi during that whole fight. It was all by HIS design to have Kakashi destroy his heart that Madara implanted. There are so many ways this fight can last long. Pain will keep reviving. Itachi will have a tough time catching him. Nagato, aka 7th Pain, can summon the Gedo Statue that's even bigger than Choji and his dad. Even they needed help. If used right, it can hurt a lot. Itachi's Yata Mirror is strong, but it doesn't cover everywhere. Susano'o can only handle so much against multiple attacks simultaneously. There are ways for Pain to grab Susanoo's arm that's holding the Totsuka blade, like his lizard's tongue or other animals biting it. Pain could even absorb away the Susano'o because Susano'o is chakra construct. Pain could use his Almighty Push hidden under the ground to blow away Susano'o while Itachi is being distracted fighting others. We all saw how much Itachi lost chakra each time he used his eye powers. Eventually, Itachi will deplete all his chakra. Pain will rip out Itachi's soul with one touch while the others attack (not all 6). Itachi can never waste his chakra against Pain. Nagato is from the Uzumaki clan, which carries the most chakra. If this fight drags, it'll come down to who has more chakra. Pain wins. (6 Pains) Itachi's two eyes versus 6 Pains + 7th Pain with All Powers. Izanagi will be useless against Chibaku because he'll just get pulled up again. It won't matter how long his Izanagi lasts. I doubt Izanagi and Izanami link all the Pains. Itachi might have to fight blind against the 7th Pain. And that's IF Itachi could figure out how to kill him without chakra. Either way, one touch is all Nagato will need to rip out Itachi's soul. Pull + Rip = dead. Or another Chibaku (Planetary Devastation) while hidden and ready to absorb powers. I understand Itachi is extremely intelligent and powerful, but Pain is just too much of a powerhouse for Itachi. Even ChatGPT stated that Pain would win (just for humor about ChatGPT, but it's true that ChatGPT stated that Pain would win).

    A lot of People have misconception in a lot of things...When pain says that after the jiraya fight He means-If jiraya knew the secret..He means that after killing the 3 paths he woudnt had let them layed there to be revived , if he knew he coudve take the bodies away ...2-That comment from obito shows that he doenst know pain true intentions or they aren't really on the same page , and shows that obito thinks he keeps pain in control , pain hold back against jiraya cuz it was on the rain village he couldnt go all out to not destroy anything neither did he had to ..That shows obito didn't knew pain so well or was that close..That is very implied that pain-nagato kept a close eye on obito such as konan.Pain and itachi are objectively above óbito, obito has one weapon an hax that his very difficult to understand and different...Itachi hax variety one hit kill hax intelligence. Pain -most Powerful hax outta the 3 and battle warfare IQ. Tell me 2 character that had more things going on at the same time while keeping a charade or a behind the curtain plan , there's no other than pain and itachi...All akatsuki jutsus are Simply allowed trough nagato and i mean all of them ...Mofo is basically dead , sharing chakra with 6 bodies, has a gedo mazo statue summoned just chillin on a cave with a seal that makes it indestructible ,protects the rain village ,and the rest of jutsus made by him for akatsuki..Itachi all the stuff about being a double agent...Is clear as water obito needed the 2 of them not the contrary..And you can implie it to ways Obito feared itachi so the way to deal with him was by mutual ageement or consenses on plans ideas -He couldnt manipulate him. Pain obito feared him but was able to manipulate him based the story consequnces and circumstances from the past but still not knowing to wich extent thats why the need from time to time to implie that hes above and as it is known nagato did had plans and studied to overtake him cuz he didnt trust obitos resolve or plans on the long run...

    Why do people use Naruto casually moving with Itachi while actively not tryna fight and talk to Itachi as a feat for Itachi. Kabuto was trying to capture Naruto this does not make him Kcm speed . Chibabu tensei ends the fight Itachi can’t break out of it.Gedo statue into soul dragon ends the fight.Pain is immune to all his genjutsu unless all of them get hit which is not happening. All of Itachi’s ninjutsu are getting absorbed and actually make pain stronger when they get absorbed. Chakra rods disrupt chakra so if Itachi gets tagged he won’t be able to use his abilities to the extent that he would need. In terms of stamina lol, he’s fighting an Uzumaki who can Solo a village ,fight Sage Naruto with prep time and win and then bring back thousands of humans back to life and still have some life energy to have a conversation with Naruto.People always wanna give Itachi all the hypotheticals for his “Prime” when in vs battles but always downplay what a hypothetical “prime” pain would look like. A hypothetical “prime” pain would be Red haired Nagato that can move with all 6 paths of pain fighting along side him like what Obito had. With Nagato individually being above all of the paths and having all the abilities. Nagato being the guy who could No diff Bee and KCM Naruto. Imagine if Nagato would’ve absorbed the 9 tails chakra like he did Bee ……Yeah The Rinnegan is above the Sharigan with Nagato to this day being the most competent and versatile Rinnegan user we’ve seen in the verse including six paths characters. So good luck to Itachi ina 1v1 …. Or 1v6 I guess or 1v7

    Its worth remembering that obito was posing as madara, and its unlikely nagato ever fought obito to know if he could beat him or not. It makes sense he would not test this 'madara'. Also we cant be sure itachi is responsible for 1/3 of countering the planetary devastation, and if he was we also dont know if making more beads makes the attack stronger or just divides its potency in more beads( also edo nagato is weaker than alive nagato). Also, calling the frog song "normal" sound genjutsu its just wrong, its stated to the the strongest type of genjutsu in the series and it likely around before the sage of six paths. And it makes no sense narratively for a MS genjutsu work flawlessly against a rinnegan that is supose to be an MS evolution. Anyway good video.

    Firstly, the double page is paneled as such with Itachi destroying it. Due to this being the most likely assumption, due to akams razor you would typically dismiss the idea. Now potency being different does make sense generally; in Itachi’s case though, we know that more would inherently allude to more chakra due to the susanoo being a physical manifestation of chakra so more beads = more chakra. The Frog Song stuff is wrong, the third databook’s mini section on it doesn’t include the word type at all. Then for the rinnegan to MS that’s more conjectural than anything else

    Narrative wise Itachi and pain are on about the same level. But Itachi is a one on one fighter so he would get overwhelmed by the six paths of pain. It would be a good fight but six VS one would be very overwhelming for Itachi because all his attacks are crazy good but also mostly hit one person at a time. I think Itachi vs nagato would be much closer. If Itachi gets to hit nagato with a one hit shot he is done for. Which makes the fight probably go to Itachi’s favor. I think six paths of pain vs Itachi would be 8/10 for pain and itachi vs nagato would be 7/10 for itachi

    A theory i like that explains itachis "sickness" is that time experienced in tsukiyomi is directly a trade off of itachis own life force. Itachi doesnt show signs of sickness until after the massacre when he used his first and longest tsukiyomi of 60 ish years on izumi. In the izumi tsukiyomi itachi and izumi live to be in their late 70s/ early 80s. which the math roughly works out a number similar to the age itachi diead. After that he only uses tsukiyomi for instances of 24-72 hours of dilated time. Also in the fight with hebi sasuke the big use of tsukiyomi is itachi showing sasuke how to get ems. Which only last about a few minutes and a few minutes after his final tsukiyomi use he drops dead. Basically the theory would serve itachi with the chakra of an insanely op old man after the massacre.

    You know what it’s actually really refreshing to see someone actually take all of the objective facts and line them out to make a logical debate and I genuinely agree with virtually every point you make and you actually make a very good point about tsukyomi going through the chakra link to nagato I never actually considered that (My only gripe is I think Itachi scales slightly higher than EMS Sasuke as his edo form is categorically weaker than his living form yet edo Itachi still outperformed sasuke by a BIG margin against kabuto) another point I would like to make about Itachi is Tsukyomi actually works on multiple beings at once, as in the Itachi shinden novel (this is cannon btw) Itachi used Tsukyomi on the aburame that poisoned shisui but instead of using it on him he used it on the millions on bugs inside of the aburame to lock him in place so if Itachi can Tsukyomi on millions of sentient beings (Albeit bugs being less complex) I reckon he could use it on say 5-6 people at once… food for thought?

The biggest cpomparison people use to justify Itachi having crazy speed feats is when he's fighting KCM naruto with taijutsu. This argument doesn't work because Naruto obviously wasn't going at full speed because Itachi and him were having a conversation, he was getting intel.

    Itachi didn’t even blitz the fastest version of nagato, nagato wasn’t using the asura path rocket boosters, itachi can’t see chameleon so that is also a good win con. I feel you downplayed chibaku Tensei because pain states he’d make it bigger once he sees the 8tails granted when sage Naruto falls out he’s lets it dissapate but you could chalk it down to not wanting to kill Naruto. We no pain sandbagged that whole fight. The ororchimaru feat isn’t even that impressive for two reasons. One we already know that base to base itachi is stronger that orochimaru as well as the orochimaru that was brought back wasn’t even at full power he should’ve been sick just as he was vs sasuke so these are both 2 sick fighters in their higher forms. Secondly itachi blitzing a near fearless hydra has no merit. We know if pain gets tagged with tblade he should be able to summon/ reverse summon pains out of it because we see oro get summoned from curse mark even tho he was sealed. Itachi has no answer for all the summons out all at once and this is how pain fights common refutal is Amaterasu but if he uses 2-3 of those it should greatly expend his chakra. Amaterasu being itachis strongest jutsu doesn’t even make sense because that’s not what he used vs nagato. Also even if you want to grant itachi speed advantage all the summons plus 6 eyes and king of hell should make the blitz difference. You failed to mention what happens if itachi gets smoked by a rod it’s literally gg if he gets touched with 1. Good video nun the less😏

    Yeah his videos be aight, he just be a lil bias sometimes and it shows. You stated things perfectly, Itachi is getting overwhelmed by all summons/paths of pain. Pain isn’t just going to sit there and let Itachi do his thing. We’ve never seen Pain take an opportunity seriously. He fought the leaf only for intel and he only wanted to capture Naruto. So he was holding back and heavily fatigued once Naruto arrived. So all his paths had to protect Deva path in formation. If Pain starts the fight off bloodlusted, it’s going to be similar to how Nagato cooked Bee & Naruto. Once all the paths start using their abilities at the same time, Itachi won’t have enough chakra or time to counter all Pains jutsu.

    So a few things here 17:00 The Itachi vs Obito section does make it seem like Obito thought fighting Itachi would be too troublesome/ not worth it. But those statements aren’t really conclusive that Obito would just up and lose to Itachi. 18:08 Road to Ninja starts out with Konoha 11 vs All of the Akatsuki (which are alive at the same time for whatever reason.) This movie is super noncanon. And even if it was, using it to suspect Itachi could Amateratsu Obito when this is the same Obito that can press FKS Sasuke (who has a better Amateratsu) is reaching too hard. And in the canon, Obito Kamuid Itachi’s amateratsu. 27:33 Itachi is not sick during his Reanimation. It’s not his cells that are forced onto the sacrifice during reanimation. Instead it’s his soul and chakra. I understand you think it’s the case because Itachi can use his sharingan and they all have their normal hair color, but it’s not. Chakra/souls in Naruto work weird and don’t require actual DNA to inherit traits. Look at DMS Kakashi getting his sharingan from Obito. I can safely say this is just properties of the jutsu. And Itachi is revived to resemble what he was like moments prior to his death. This is why Nagato has white hair when he gets revived. It wouldn’t make any sense for Itachi to be revived in the state he was in a week or 2 before his death lol. It’s safe to say he just didn’t have the illness.

However, in a direct confrontation Itachi is the hard counter of Pain since from Jiraiya and Pa and Ma's analysis, Pain is clearly weak to genjutsu and Itachi just happens to be the master of genjutsu.

    I don't agree and here's my interpretation: 1. It was never implied or stated that Pain was fearful of Itachi or any other Akatsuki member, except Tobi. At best, Tobi projected his fear onto Pain. 2. The author may have clumsily misdirected us (or perchance was it on purpose) but it's clear that the statement 'The strongest man in Akatsuki pursues Naruto' is about Pain since the following chapter is called 'In pursuit of Itachi'. Too misleading otherwise. 3. About their Edo state, Nagato's mobility is highly affected. We don't know how fast he would've been if his legs were functioning normally. No surprise Bee could Lariat GH Nagato. 4. Therefore, Itachi “blitzing” Nagato isn't surprising. Moreover, Nagato was preoccupied by Killer Bee and Naruto. Let's also remember that Nagato was controlled by Kabuto and he sabotaged him by his will power to diminish his reaction speed. 5. Itachi rescuing Naruto and Bee isn't speed blitz at all. Itachi kinda came out of nowhere. It's more of a surprise blitz than a pure upfront speed blitz, which he didn't do to Nagato at any point of time. He always used Nagato being distracted by Naruto and Bee to hide from his perception and attack him by surprise. So in my opinion, it's almost like saying Konohamaru is faster than Jigokudō because he lands a Rasengan. 6. Itachi destroyed Nagato's attraction core but with Bee's and Naruto's best attacks. It's too speculative to think he could've destroyed the entire core by himself because he threw “only” three and not four Yasaka beads. 7. Tendō kept pace with 6 tails Naruto who's arguably above KCM1's speed. He was more pushed around by 6t Naruto's ferocity than his speed. I would argue that SM Naruto has a faster reaction speed than KCM1 that Pain was able to keep pace with comfortably. So personally, I think Pain (or at least only Tendō) and Alive/Edo Itachi aren't that far away from each other speed wise. 8. Hiruzen has his old properties, but he clearly doesn't have the same stamina or general speed as when he fought Orochimaru. If it was the case, he would be unable to keep pace with the battlefield's higher cast. Alive, he was almost struggling to keep pace with heavily nerfed Hashirama and Tobirama. So I don't think Itachi had his illness. Also, if it was the case, he would've just been incapable of moving as soon as he was reanimated. It doesn't bring you to your prime, but it does improve your general state, so possibly freezing to improving your health condition. It doesn't reform your mental state, though. Plus, if his disease affected him, he would've at least spit his guts out considering how many times he used his MS. The blood dripping from his eyes due to Amaterasu is nothing but a body reaction. It doesn't mean he is still sick. ¿? Since Yata Mirror protects from incoming attacks, doesn't Banshō Ten'in work? Since it's a withdrawing attack, maybe it could... I don't know, I just thought about that. Great video nonetheless!

    This bias for itachi is insane you downplayed that whole chibaku tensei part kuz itachi by himself is never getting out of one of those things and he absolutely has 0 counters for it… the Amaterasu literally never did damage to any real person ever and it takes 2 days to travel and pain has a path that could absorb or repel it but ig that’s not an option… pain could use rinnegan rods and if itachi catches the whiff of one it’s up for him… If a base sharingan could break out of tsukyomi there shouldn’t even be a talk about a superior dojutsu like the rinne just not being affected or breaking it immediately because to control 6 pains…one needs immaculate chakra control and all the pains literally have genjutsu blockers… and bro has cancer…you think he’s winning a 6v1 smh he has a few uses of each of his jutsu and he might just die after that or use up the rest of whatever he has left and pain does him just like Jiraiya…itachi was written with potential but the fact that he literally had the sickness destroys everything because as I said 6v1…few uses of each jutsu…and pain literally overpowers him unless he uses his Susano’o and that half ass Susano’o is going in a chibaku tensei itachi does have wings cons but realistically they’re a lot slimmer🤝

Same goes for Itachi, he blatantly scales above. What about that is bias. If you claim “you talked more about Itachi” that’s just because again Pain’s alive showings on screen are better than Itachi’s and are less niche.

    i disagree with the arguments that itachis sickness is why he’s going blind in the kage summit we see sasuke while slowly advancing his MS getting stronger and stronger he starts getting blind with worse perception the more he uses his abilities so i see no reason why the same wouldn’t apply to itachi using his abilities over the years while going on missions so edo itachi would be stronger and it wouldn’t be to far fetched to say faster aswell depending on what your interpretation of the sickness is but bare minimum it had an effect on his body so unless this has been debunked before, i don’t see whats wrong with saying he was slower while alive otherwise it makes the arguments for hebi sasuke and deidara being at KCM1 levels of speed alot more valid and ik he was holding back against sasuke just enough to rid him of orochimaru but i still dont see why that would include holding back speed wise just like how people say pain was holding back against kakashi when he dodged his kick or when people say minato was holding back against obito when he pulled up behind him, both speed wise ofc

    genjutsu wouldn't work on pain since rinnegan is a stronger dojutsu and pain rods gives him the ability to disrupt chakra flow. also all mightly push is said to negate ninjutsu so he can get rid of the susano and all those tools. obito just out right says in the manga that hebi sasuke sharingan is stronger than itachi sharingan. as far as the itachi blitzing nagato its explained by kabuto that it wasnt that itachi was to fast the issue was that nagato had problems moving out the way due to his legs and was hoping the added field of vision would help mitigate that so no itachi is not a blitz level above kcm naruto. also there is difference between the yasaka beads and just regular beads in terms of output. judging from the scale of damage they to those rocks in the cave they wouldnt be able to disrupt the chibaku tensei the way it did with nagato.

    Good vid, however i have some disagreements. I'll be up front my takes: Sick itachi vs pain in konoha: pain wins Alive full health itachi vs rain pain: itachi wins Edo v edo: pain wins Alive prime for both: pain wins. I'll explain my reasoning by trying to counter some of your points. The first being that itachi can handle chibaku tensei using the beads cuz he output a third of the force to destroy one as an edo. For starters he didn't destroy the fully formed planetoid or burst through it like 8 tails naruto did, he destroyed the core which in the panel you can see is still exposed. Secondly i believe it's disingenuous to say he contributed a third of the ap to perform that feat. The three way panel could give such impression but using the 8 tails biju bomb and kcm 1 naruto's rasenshuriken we know the rasenshuriken is weaker than bee's biju bomb. This is cuz after he used a rasenshuriken on the 3rd raikage and it was ineffective he was willing to try using a biju bomb (even though we he was unable to make it). Additionally bee's biju bomb was comparable to kuramas so unless ur implying that kcm 1 rasenshuriken is as strong as kuramas biju bomb i don't think taking that panel as all three attacks contributed evenly to the destruction of the sphere. Secondly the blitz arguments for edo itachi vs edo nagato always seem like people don't pick up the context of the scene. Itachi "blitzes" nagato twice. The first is after he blinds nagatos summons and then blindsides him while he's dealing with bee and naruto. It's obvious he was occupied and itachi caught him by suprise. It'd be like saying everytime someone suckerpunched another person they blitzed that person. It's more than fair to assume that a nagato fully focused or even a bit more focused could put up a counter attack similar to what nagato did when bee charged him while he was handling kcm 1 naruto. Essentially the only was this argument would make sense would be saying that the battle starts, nagato brings out his summons, starts looking at the dirt while itachi blinds his summons and suprise attacks him. The second whoch has more validity is itachi using the totska blade to seal nagato. The smoke as we see adds hinderance to nagato. I disagree with your assertion that the Rinnegan can see right through the smoke like the byakugan or smth. Your argument being that pain saw jiraiya through the smoke and blocked his punch. However, that could be explained as one of the pains outside the smoke noticing jiraiya's trajectory aa he launched into the smoke for an attack. Thus is more consistent as when naruto used a smoke assisted attack on the animal path, it was completely blind and unable to see especially as the pains outside the smoke were obstructed as the animal path was lured into gammabuntas mouth while in the smoke. That said, it would be disingenuous to say the smoke covered everything, as there was some space between the smoke and nagato. Nonetheless itachi was able to land the attack on nagato and it shows some level of speed superiority. That said my problem comes with the blitz connotation that people use regarding that scene. If we were to follow that standard then anytime anyone landed an attack on someone they would have blitzed said person. Using an example, we would have to then say that naruto blitzed kakuzu when he landed the rasenshuriken. Or would we say that kabuto blitzed itachi when he cut him in half? Now some other counterpoints. Nagato can absorb amaterasu without hurting himself. I believe kaguya did the same to sasuke's amaterasu and functionally, it should work the same way. Additionally, arguing that itachi was sick as an edo doesn't make sense even using your logic in thw video. We know this as itachi was consistently coughing and basically blind right before death. U hypothesize that edo tensei ressurrects u right at the moment of your death similar to how hiruzen was ressurected as an old man. However, it's shown or at least implied that this is done without any of the flaws or ilnesses one had at death as edo hiruzen was able to use 4 shadow clones while he could only muster two while alive. Itachi did not have an illness debuff as an edo and he also got a pseudo buff of basically having an ems as an edo. Sure he bled while using amaterasu but he never experienced any of the pains orshortcomings of the ms like the pain of using the susano or going blind from overuse. I'd go so far as to presume edos have a dulled if not muted sense of pain as they take fatal or life threatening attacks and walk them off while living characters suffer greatly from said attacks even if they survive them. Take the use of amaterasu on edo nagato compared to how bee reacted to being engulfed by amaterasu. So in all edo itachi similar to edo madar got buffs and debuffs from being an edo . Additionally, i am undecided on how i think tsukoyomi affects the Rinnegan. But safe to say, pain at the very least should know genjutsu is itachi's specialty and know not to look him in the eye. Additionally you could use the chakra potency/nullification argument to substantiate that any non tsukoyomi genjutsu from itachi wouldn't work on nagato. The potency argument is that having greater chakra reserves prevents you from being put under genjutsu similar to how ms sasuke couldn't genjutsu the 4th raikage but madara could. I believe everyone should be in agreement that nagato should have notably more chakra than itachi. All in all, using those claims, and counterclaims i made to sone of your arguments i belive the matchuos would go how i initially stated. Thanks

    In my opinion Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷🏻‍♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat, is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ☯️

    Edo Tensei seems to get rid of illnesses altogether as Kimimaro was able to fight for hours without suffering any affects of his illness. So I would not make an arbitrary assumption that it is slightly earlier than Sasuke's fight given Nagato was revived at the moment of death, down to the white hair. The Mangekyō Sharingan does not enhance one's physical abilities as it is said Sasuke was going all out against Jigen with only a three tomoe Sharingan active, and is elsewhere shown fighting without a Mangekyō at his limit. It seems the boon for Itachi was more so the smoke-screen. The chakra boost is mainly for genjutsu, not the user themselves. Nagato and Itachi were talking to each other for some time before they met Naruto. Itachi might have just been told his abilities and used that knowledge to counter them. Eternal Mangekyō Sasuke is actually said to have superior dōjutsu to Itachi in Jin no Sho, and if Itachi can suppress his Tsukuyomi then it would not really indicate relativity when they were just trying to break each other out, either. Pain's Chibaku Tensei collapsed because he could no longer withstand it due to his lacking stamina after fighting the village, Chaotic Shinra Tensei, and Sage Mode, not that it had too much damage. Normally he would have made it even larger. Rin's chakra was disrupted for some time after genjutsu was used on her and others have shown that genjutsu effects linger, so if the Confrontation Chant did affect Nagato even after being "turned off", he likely would not have been able to break the other three out. It seems it more so disrupted their connection. Pain can just disable the Path that is affected by Kotoamatsukami if it only affects one then just reactivate it with new chakra which would not be affected by it. Gakidō's "catch" could just be alongside the invisible barrier that it uses so Amaterasu might immediately fizzle. Nagato does not need help to sense Amaterasu. He was able to do so passively when he warned Naruto. Nagato cannot see through smoke as Naruto used smoke bombs several times to help set up his attacks against Pain.

    @@vaughnjackson6297 no no, so okay you know how there are five great Shinobi nations? Well that’s True, that’s the Land of Wind, Fire, etc. however for the land of Fire for example the capital of thag country and the main Shinobi participant of that country is Konohagakure, The Village hidden in the leaves. For the Wind, the Wind is a country but the shinobi village is Sunagakure, the village hidden in the sand. Now this is something I plan to eventually discuss later in a vid but I’ll just tell you. We know that in Naruto, they are only on one specific side of the globe. However what’s intersting is that Japan is a place in the Naruto world (Naruto Retsuden talks about Japanese style houses) so our world or the Pangea split continents are just on the other side of the world and that’s why most calcs for The Naruto planet are 6-7x the size of ours, meaning that countries and capitals do work again. So to reiterate it, Konoha is the Village in the Land of Fire

We already know that susanoo is a speed blitz like you said but once again he never blitzs nagato at his fastest his fastest would be him propelled by rocket propellers. I’m pretty sure nagato was holding back because he warns Naruto that he’s about to be hit with Amaterasu. And we see characters like raikage just blitz past Amaterasu, so black flames don’t really have the best speed feats. Nagato only blows them off until after kabuto has taken control back so this would just support that nagato didn’t want to hurt bee and naruto
