Itachi, the most misunderstood character in Naruto

[The Necromancer]

Garra vs 2nd Mizukage! Garra used pure intelligence agaunst him, beyond that of an average shinobi. The tactics he used to defeat joki boy was flawless, regardless of all his advantages

I'll give you that that was a very impressive battle tactic.

Yet Garra is never credited for his intelligence, smh. Hype overpowers everything

i agree with blazekev in that itachi (and minato too while they're at it), haven't shown any particular strategy feats. they're amongst the most observant shinobi in the series, quick on the uptake and the very nature to how they fight is tactical, but they don't use many strategies, they just overpower the opponent with an excellent tactic. ftg and itachi's genjutsu are insanely hard to counter, but they're not strategies.

I'd say the way Shikamaru and Kakashi, and the way Naruto and Sasuke used to fight can be termed strategic. A combination of ploys designed to bring about the desired results. Naruto may be a dumbass but he's pulled off some of the most beautiful strategies in the series, like the one where he took down the Naraka path vs pain. or shikamaru vs temari and tayuya

i agree but give him a break, he coudnt risk testing the other options and he thought it would keep madara out of bay.....

his 1 true mistake in my eyes is believing obito to be madara, it is a perfectly logical mistake that everyone else would have made but, if he knew things could have been a bit different.

personally i woudve killed fugaku then became leader my self.

i half disagree with this strategies usually require some time to prepare, as seen with shikamaru. Naruto's strategies honestly BS, It is because he is carefree(70% of his strategies could have backfired on him, or only worked because of PnJ)

Minato and itachi dont need such extensive strategies, just a tactical route to follow.

You're so dumb it's annoying. Also your sig, Hashirama can beat everyone we've seen a lot of. Including Edo Madara, you'll see and when he does the Madara fanboy's such as yourself will rage and call it "Plot no Jutsu" or make up other rubbish to make Madara look better than he is.

If he beats Edo Madara on his own, it really WOULD be Plot no Jutsu. The only thing Hashirama has that Edo Madara doesn't is his Sage Mode. Madara has all of Hashirama's abilities in base, his own EMS techniques, plus the Rinnegan. I call bullshit on Edo Hashirama being able to solo him.

EMS Madara is considerably weaker than Hashirama, though, no doubt about that.

sharingan.
1) that wasn't anything worth crediting as genius. Everything is obviously being sucked into one giant ball and Naruto told him of his previous encounter with CT. That was kinda
n obvious decision

Lol what? It took , Jiraya, ma and pa, a few chapters to figure out pein had connected eye sight... Itachi , with no knowledge of the rinnegan, Noticed it in no time flat ,figured out the blind spots, and countered it

If that's not a feat of intelligence, You're fooling yourself

Minato, Itachi and a few other genius ninja in this manga have shown many strategical ability in their fights? Do you think strategical aptitiude is the only aspect that goes hand in hand with intelligence? with overall genius?
They haven't used many strategies because they never HAD to... they have won their battles either without it, or very little of it, because they have the skill and tools neccesary to do so...
Kakashi doesn't have any OP space time jutsu to utilize in fights, and thus he relies on keen observation and strategy to find and exploit his opponents weakpoints...


Deidara has displayed more strategic feats than Minato, does that mean he's smarter than him? more of a genius than him?

 

[mikeeozua]

I agree, but I think that Obito is the most misunderstood character.

OT: I disagree Obito is the most misunderstood I mean hell people still think he did all this because Rin died.

maybe because he said so XD

 

[mikeeozua]

maybe because he said so XD

He said that wasn't the reason

 

[soloGodtachi]

He said that wasn't the reason

because Kishi saw the pissed off posts

 

[Shisui Senju]

He is a little flat but he does develop a little. Kishinev does try to make him a little too god like but he does that with purpose and makes him useful towards the plot

 

[mikeeozua]

because Kishi saw the pissed off posts

It still isn't the only reason though

 

[Hebi Sasuke]

Nicely said Itachi is an exceptional human and a shinobi at least I see him that way,he made mistakes but the reason he had was for all the rescpet he gets.

 

[Blaze Release]

If he wasn't dicking down dudes unprotected he wouldn't have catch AIDS, he's not that intelligent.

His fans fail to relieve while he is overall a good powerful character he failed more than probably anyone in the manga. Intelligent? No, he's very
Strategic in knowing his clans history and using that to his advantage

(No offense to anyone gay and HIV+)
Btw I'm no hater, just stating the truth. Hopefully one fanboy in particular reads this and comprehens lol

My fellow blaze, run riot. Could care less if its Itachi.

Every now and then, to keep the blood flowing i like to enter a thread and just run through a fanbase.

I did however laugh when you claimed he has failed the most. Come on now, an oro fan saying this.
Smh.

But yh.

The more you post the more you dumb down Itachi and discredit his fanbase.

OT: I stick to my guns Obito being the most misunderstood.

Haha, you watch ippo too?.

I watched season 1 like 2 years ago and didn't think there was a season 2.
Started to watch season 1 again to make sense of it, then watch season 2

smh blaze why you constantly try to downplay Itachi is beyond me.

Erm no. In fact this whole moaning thing is slightly annoying (not you in particular), though you do like to do this on Bogard as well. Instead of moaning, why don't you hit hard.

Besides you can always shit troll him, in an oro/dei/gaara discussion.

Anyway OP, it was a nice read.
Don't have much more to say, current state of mind is on other things.

Also how did this turn into a discussion about strategy. You guys like to drift too much in a topic and start arguing about something completely different. Stick to the topic man, the topic. Diverting is annoying

 

[Paintachi]

As you just said if if he's not the perfect character then he is at least the CLOSEST ONE TO IT.

 

[Momo86]

To be fair, Itachi developed a counter to Chibaku Tensei in about less than a minute while he and his allies where being sucked upwards. I agree that it is no long-term strategy but sounds to me as pretty smart. While blinded by Sage Art: White Rage, he parried Kabuto's attack who he figured out by reasoning alone, once again in a few seconds and under heavy pressure.

It is fair to say that Itachi knows how to use his brain cells.

What are yiu talking about? Naruto told Itachi of his previous encounter, which told Itachi how to counter the situation

Yes, there is more to intelligence than strategy, Itachi hasn't shown any outside intelligence besides knowing his clans history, which is just being knowledgeable

If Itachi has never been challenged in battle, hiw can we rate his intelligence than???

It doesn't matter who displayed more strategic tactics, but rather the way they maneuver them.

 

[Neonian]

Itachi is baws.
