"Healthy" Itachi in the context it's used in is fanfiction. That is, healthy with good eyesight and mastery of MS.

Amaterasu/Tsukiyomi deteriorates the eyes, so mastery of those ocular abilities has caused his failing eyesight. He cannot have mastery of them while still maintaining 20/20 vision.

Susanoo deteriorates the body, slowly killing the user. Sasuke's incomplete Susanoo was attacking his body, he was staggering and coughing up blood and complained that every cell in his body was on fire. He also wondered what it was like for Itachi whom had mastered Susanoo. The databook also says that Susanoo drains the user's life-force.

Itachi cannot have mastery of Susanoo without his disease.

And no, a disease isn't a sickness. A sickness is caused by an invading bacteria, a disease is a biological abnormality. Sasuke didn't get "ninja aids" when Itachi gave him a bloody finger poke to the forehead, Susanoo is established to be malignant.

Itachi's disease didn't come from using Susanoo, he rarely uses Susanoo in battles anyways, in fact he rarely uses Amaterasu, Zetsu and Kisame both confirmed it, whenever Amaterasu comes out it is significant enough to convince Kisame that the opponent is way out of Kisame's league.
a perfectly sighted Itachi is prob a myth but def not a healthy Itachi.

What's "rare" in a 10 year period? He must have also had plenty of practice in order to master them. By the time Sasuke unlocked Kagutsuchi, his vision was already starting to blur.

It's also arguable that Itachi stopped using them so much because of his deteriorating condition, not wanting to progress it further unnecessarily.

-points at edo itachi-

What about him?

healthy Nagato did exist though....before he faced hanzo. If Konan didn't get captured, I'm sure he would still be in his healthy state.

Itachi being"sick" is just a limiter created to prevent him from being OpOp...and I'm pretty sure u can master Amaterasu within the time you become blind... JUst like tsukuyomi which it seems like he mastered while sasuke was young ( uchiha massacre period)

we've only seen Itachi use Amaterasu twice and Susanoo once before his death, White Zetsu doesn't even know what Susanoo is. and from Itachi's previous fights, against strong opponents like Deidara even Orochimaru, Itachi was only using regular sharingan, how often would he run into an enemy strong enough to make him use Amaterasu and Susanoo?
plus Sasuke was using MS techniques constantly after getting them, since he's fighting Kage level enemies constantly or even at the same time, he's spamming them careless, Itachi did not rely on MS as much as Sasuke did, much less frequent, Itachi's fighting style was more like Hebi Sasuke, combination of basic skills with intelligence than Taka Sasuke, who spams MS. also how many times do you think Itachi needs to practice his MS techniques to master them? it took Sasuke 1 fight to bring out Amaterasu and Enton, 2 fights to bring out Susanoo, Itachi is just as talented as Sasuke, if not even more at the same age, I doubt he needed to use MS techniques many times to master them.

I'm sure he mastered Amaterasu, he used it more than u think like the time he used it on jinchuriiki Roshi to catch him

Healthy Itachi is an entity more powerful than the human mind can possibly comprehend.

Like the Living Tribunal, but sexy. (Or sexier?)

Who said Itachi was healthy then?

Itachi just wooped them at close armed combat (Taijutsu) and that was all....he is the prodigy of the Uchiha after all.

Healthy Itachi is just Itachi not on his death bed, befor he fought sasuke he could barely see. So maybe it's him at the start of part 2

Healthy Itachi is off panel, meaning full stammina and able to use susanoo longer, then after the battle (healing/chakra recovery) he can use it again.

Just look at nagato's big scale shrina tensei (it consumes your life force too)
