doesnt itachi have genjutsu that effects you through other senses besides sight.
idk i think itachi wins low diff
Izanagi can be used on himself to escape desth once; however, he'd simply then be unable to use Amaterasu/Tsukiyomi (pending eye) and thus also Susanoo. Not to mention he'd be basically dead chakra/stamina wise.
Izanami is a non factor. It only targets those who try to be what they aren't.
OT: I'd agree. While many will simply through out the Itachi wins speeches, he honestly has a match here.
In terms of reaction feats, honestly dodging all the Mokuton spikes is a feat. Hiashi was able to analyze the fast moving projectiles, block them using rotation, and upon that failing have a position to move to that completely avoids being hit. Hinata was even able to dodge the spikes. Managing to even go so far as see a single spike that was a danger to Naruto and then block it before it hits him. With the Byakugan she could judge the position of one in thousands of spikes that was on a trajectory towards someone else. Considering Hiashi's eyes are the same blood as Hinata's and probably stronger... It shows how well the Byakugan can track mass- high speed movement.
Genjutsu is canceled by X-Ray vision. Stamina wise Hiashi is a beast. He used countless rotations and even a wall palm capable of blocking the Juubi, and wasn't even exhausted.
You can think of the Hyuga as fodder, but Hiashi shows the great potential this clan has.
First off Hiashi has no counter to the following
Yata
Totsuka Blade
Finger Genjutsu
Crow Clone Genjutsu
Faint clone explosion genjutsu
Reason: It is already stated in the manga that Byakkagan can't tell the difference between clones. Where as the Sharingan can. Meaning if Itachi wanted to use Faint clone explosion or Crow Clone Genjutsu he could keep the fight long range.
Further more you say Hiashi can air palm susanoo then show us an image of Neji Air palming the Juubi WITH NARUTO KCM BOOST. lul get real dude.
Finally Believe it or not Considering the Hyuuga must have there eyes open to see 358 degrees that means they are even more susceptible to eye contact genjutsu thus tsukyomi 1 shots.
Last but not least Totsuka blade would end hiashi since his only counter is rotation
Yata: Air Wall Palm. The attack will not hurt Itachi, but remember two facts.
A) While not breaking it, physical force of such a degree will serve as a mechanism to push Itachi back keeping him away from Hiashi.
B) The Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade only FURTHER hurt his chakra reserves and stamina... Killing him more quickly.
Finger/Crow Genjutsu: the X-ray vision results in the ability to avoide direct contact which counters the Finger and crow genjutsu which operate on visual based activations.
Feint Clone Explosion Genjutsu: The feint clone is different from a normal clone in that it is designed as am explosive: meaning it has a mass placed for detonation. Something a normal clone wouldn't have. Also, clones and Shadow clones are different. Shadow clones equally distribute chakra whereas other clones don't (considering Sasuke could defeat the Zabuza clones with zero difficulty). It's entirely possible those clones don't operate like Shadow clones.
Totsuka: Firstly Wall Palm prevents Itachi from getting close enough. Furthermore, rotation can block it...how?!
1. The Totsuka blade attacks as a physical object. Otherwise it cannot cut Orochimaru's Hydra heads.
2. As such, Rotation which acts as a physical barrier can equate to the Hydra heads... But as a wall of chakra it deflects the blade.
