Itachi defeated kabuto with izanagi and i believe that Edo itachi could beat 5 kage too ..itachi is top 5 at best but not one, itachi couldnt not take on the 5 kage, madara, hashi, naruto, are stronger everything is debatable tho but the reason i think you and alot of people have a hard time seeing itachi loose is because we have never seen him and a close situation like that. but based off manga i would still put kabuto at number one even tho i dislike how he became strong

Love your fanboy logic, can you please post some actual points that would make him win?I believe that Edo itachi could beat 5 kage too ..
Edo madara defeated 5 kages because they are pathetic weak .
1) gaara: he's young and his power is close to other konoha11(lee , kiba and neji)
2) mei: she's weakest among them
3) raikage: with 1 hand , he's useless in battlefield
4) onoki: he's powerful but he's so old that was his weak point
5) tsunade: she's strongest among them but what can she do
Since she had to fight and heal them at same time ..
Edo madara is overrated and lee already cut him to half![]()

He's top1 for reasons ..
Itachi deserves to be strongest ninja ever for many reasons:
- He defeated nagato easily
- He defeated deidara easily
- He defeated orochimaru so easily
- He killed all uchiha members easily
- He defeated kakashi, asuma and kurenai easily
- He was playing with kabuto before he defeated him .
- Nobody can counter his genjutsu beside susanoo is so powerful.
I don't think either sasuke or naruto can beat anyone of those opponents easily like itachi did![]()
If you wanna go by this logic I can easily say that this picture doesn't prove that Nagato is defeated. Only that he tanked the shiat out of a op tool like nothing. See he doesn't even react, such a fail tool Lol
Then it's time for you to realize fact that he didn't solo Nagato, first because of Naruto and Bee helped him.
Second that Nagato was fully controlled by Kabuto.
But last but not least, that Itachi himself stated that he failed.
To me Itachi is number one. I don't care about others opinions.......

U really are a fanboy dude ,When Itachi fought Nagato he has no blindness,it doesen't mean that u can do any thing just because u have power ,it require skill to control it ,Nagato able to master all five elements at the age of 10 when he dosen't even how stronge his pwrs are & he under control of Kabuto & at the same time he is resisting EDO that's y Kabuto unable to control Nagato properly,,& if I consider ur point's then wat Itachi did was nothing He killed his clan with the help of Obito,he has advantage in all of his fight's he has MS that's y he is able to beat Kakashi,Kurinai,Asuma,Artist and Orochimaru let his guard down in both of thire fight's,,,if u remember correctly oro almost break itachi's genjutsu that's y Itachi cut his left arm and during thire 2nd fight Oro let Itachi to hit him bcoz he thought that can't hurt him and before realizing wat really happen he sealed away,,,Nagato has an advantage.
Rinnegan -> MS
Rinnegan -> No blindness
MS -> Blindness
Rinnegan -> Able to master all elements
MS -> Not
Therefore you can't say Nagato has better Chakra Control
Btw he is also an Uzumaki
BUT STILL GOT SOLOED BY ITACHI
