What the hell.. you do remember what orochimaru did in part 1 right. You do know that tsunade would be dead if oro had his hands back then right. You do remember jiriyah wasn't the genius in the group right. Orochimaru is THE STRONGEST SANIN

Jman wasn't considered a genius because he was overshadowed by Orochimaru, but the Sannin individually were geniuses. People mention credentials..."Itachi is a genius"..."graduated at age 7"...etc. That's nice, but the Sannin graduated at age 6, developed their their own abilties/techniques and didn't have the privilege in depending on the sharingan. Don't underestimate the Sannin individually, even Tsuande.

Im mad now. You remember 4 tailed narurorama nearly killed jariyah right? And didn't orochimaru sword dunk that same 4 tailed naruto after taking a tailed beast bomb and still telling naruto to sit down before he got sasuke to stomp him. Not to mention the Japanese legends Kishi is pulling some of this from, Orochimaru is a beast... itachi sonned him like lebron did the spurs in game 6

All the Sannin are stronger than itachi.

Itachi already admitted that he's weaker than Jiraiya.
Oro can stomp him with ET.
Tsunade can stomp him with Katcuyu.

oh yea did the other sannin have stores of forbidden jutsu. Edo tensi? How would they have stopped that... you overestimate them.

At this point, if you still truly believe Jiraya and Tsunade can defeat Itachi, you're blinded by your own fanboyism or hate for Itachi. Orochimaru is the only Sannin that stands a chance of besting him and that is only because of Edo Tensei and in turn the ninjas he has under his control without it, no form of him would win the battle ..

This thread is just filled with ridiculous abc logic and horrible arguments . It should be posted in VS threads, as it has been a million times, so the people arguing these ridiculous things can defend their claims with their old reiterated arguments

Don't try to hype up Orochimaru with me. His jutsu rely on hype, something he has yet to demonstrate.

Your statement merely shows the lack of your understanding. Pain was the victor. But why Jiraiya would've turned the victor potentially when learning the secret behind Pain? Would the difference in their power change? No. Jiraiya could probably go for haunting Nagato himself, who was disabled. Jiraiya would not automatically turn stronger when knowing Nagato is the one moving the Path's. Jiraiya lost to a Pain who didn't fight at full power. That's reality.
No point telling others that they lack understanding, when you yourself lack understanding. Pain was the victor, due to having the secret of surprise. "The secret" of pains is what made Nagato into a God. No one knew how to kill him. If Jiraiya had known, he simply would've took out the black rods and did what Naruto did and went to hunt Nagato down. It was Nagato himself who admit that if Jiraiya had known the secret he would've been beaten.

Nagato's admittance to Jiraiya beating him if he knew the secret puts Jiraiya higher than Nagato himself. And who said we saw Jiraiya go all out? In fact the entire fight he had been trying to figure out the abilities.

Oh and also, Pain > Nagato by himself. Strength in numbers. Pain is what made Nagato into a God. Keep Nagato by himself, no one if praising him as a god. There is a clear reason why Nagato stuck to pain, instead of recovering back his legs.

The difference in power is still vastly great between them if its a 1 vs 1. You people act like if experience isn't anything. Experience is everything.

Is Pain doing Chibaku tensei = him going all out? or him doing shinra tensei = him going all out? is that definition of going all out? He first needs to be able to have the time to pull off those moves.

What the hell.. you do remember what orochimaru did in part 1 right. You do know that tsunade would be dead if oro had his hands back then right. You do remember jiriyah wasn't the genius in the group right. Orochimaru is THE STRONGEST SANIN
You do realize, Tsunade would've killed Orochimaru herself, if she didn't have the disease and fatigue handicap. Right? You do remember him running away after 1 punch from Tsunade? right?

You remember Sasuke was called a genius , while Naruto was called an Idiot. But in the end Naruto > Sasuke.

You do remember Jiraiya learned SM something Orochimaru hasn't been capable of so far. You do realize Tsunade is the more known and respected Sanin right? You do know she had the power to heal Orochimaru's arms which had been taken away by Edo tensei right?


All the Sanin are equals in some respect. Depending on the scenario each wins the fight. Orochimaru is the weakest Sanin as of right now. He still needs that 1 power up, that Jiraiya and Tsunade got , besides their base form.

At this point, if you still truly believe Jiraya and Tsunade can defeat Itachi, you're blinded by your own fanboyism or hate for Itachi. Orochimaru is the only Sannin that stands a chance of besting him and that is only because of Edo Tensei and in turn the ninjas he has under his control without it, no form of him would win the battle ..

Like wise can be said for you. I mean you are the guy who limits Tsunade to only taijutsu, and then underrates her into being jounin level at best.

ABC logic exists in the manga, not our fault that your fanboyism doesn't allow it to be used to prove your character to be weaker than you think.

Itachi was afraid of fighting Jiraya and ran when cornered, Itachi has low stamina and can't spam his MS abilities as he will eventually go blind, he only spammed when he fought Sasuke cause he was going to die anyway.

He also spammed them against Kabuto, because he was an Edo, in any other fight Itachi would only use his MS abilities sparingly and as a last resort.


Oh, and as to the SO6P argument, Itachi wouldn't live long enough to look at the Sage's eyes, the guy had the Rinnegan and was the Juubi Jinchuriki, he was also the ancestor of the Uchiha, he isn't going to fall to a mere Genjutsu.

Itachi wouldn't even be able to touch the Sage, only a fanboy would say otherwise.

Only because of Edo? Well that is his jutsu, which should be considered in such conflict. That's like saying Itachi only stands a stance because of genjutsu and the in turn is only superior because if his bloodline.

Does being the sage mean Totsuka doesn't work on him?
Does being the sage mean RDS doesn't work on him?
Does being the sage mean being stabbed in the heart with a Kunai doesn't work on him?

Being the sage doesn't mean shit when it's cannon that a jutsu is crippling and unbreakable by everyone but a sibling. It only means it's nearly impossible to get him into Tsukuyomi. But once he's in, it's game over.

I thought only senjutsu based attacks would work on Sage.

I limit Tsunade to taijutsu? Have you gone mad? I limit Tsunade to what she has shown in this manga and not involve personal opinion, presuppositions and my own idea's of portrayal..
When it comes down to what matters, there is nothing Jiraya and Tsunade have shown that ever compete with Itachi on a manga knowledge playing field.

You can sit their all day and spew nonsense about Sannin manga portrayal, that you believe Jiraya is stronger than pain .. fine, that's you'r interpretation of this manga ... but that's all that is.. You will never be able to prove such hysterical claims even if you wanted to . And if i'm wrong, and you can then I would love to debate you on it , heck, I'd give Jiraya full knowledge on pain just for the fun of it

Edo depends on the scenario. What if they faced before Itachi's death? All the Hokage would have been sealed. With Edo, Orochimaru is stronger. Without, not a chance. Face the truth. Itachi beat Orochimaru with a single 3T Genjutsu, Orochimaru admitted his defeat. Don't search for excuses why Orochimaru lost that easily. It was just the gap between their strength which allowed Itachi to how a Sannin his place with nothing but a Genjutsu, no further skills. Itachi is faster than Orochimaru, his battle skills dwarf Orochimaru's - according to Kabuto, he reads the opponent like an open book. Orochimaru's experience and knowledge of Ninjutsu may be > Itachi's, but not powerwise due to Susanoo and Amaterasu. In terms of Genjutsu, Itachi again > Orochimaru. There is no skill of Orochimaru used in battle which comes close to Itachi. Same goes for the other Sannin.. Tsunade is very skilled, intelligent and an expert at her special subject. But in battle, she is nothing to Itachi.

So much BS. So much. The secret of surprise? The secret was what made Nagato into a god?

Though the manga has never shown her go all out. Funny. So you limit her to fighting abilities she has shown only in selective fights. You do not think about the abilities she possesses. But only what she has shown against a specific opponent. Am i right?

Portrayal is everything in the manga. Yea Pain said Jiraiya would've been able to beat him = Jiraiya > Pain. Don't see how hard that is. Since you are claiming you go by the manga, why not actually follow what the characters think about their powers against someone else?

Fan made VS scenarios have 0 relevance to me.

So you want Kishimoto to show every single character in a fight, so you guys can use them in a VS thread to please yourself? Is it not a fact that Itachi had more times to show his abilities?

So much BS. So much. The secret of surprise? The secret was what made Nagato into a god?
My oh my.
Funny how the manga took 1/4 of the pain arc focusing on that secret, but the fans treat it lightly.

Edo does not depend on scenarios, as we usually consider the character in their prime. The only other scenario is their condition. In Orochimaru's case, he is either w/o Edo, using part 1 Edo and prime (current condition). Before Itachi's death leaves Orochimaru w/ Edo or in his death bed, which would you consider?

Itachi's genjutsu is Orochimaru's weakness, as it would be against anyone. This is what Orochimaru admits in stating Itachi is stronger of the two, Itachi had the ability to surpass his will. However, when looking at that scenario we see Orochimaru had the ability to move under Itachi's binding genjutsu. Now, while you want to try and downplay it by stating "3T" genjutsu, it's still a genjutsu that is suppose to prevent ones movement completely and was used by Itachi (genjutsu specialist) .

This ability to resist his genjutsu to some degree and attempt to break it is something to consider in all actuality.

Search for excuses? I'm stating what occurred, in a face-to-face situation only a uchiha can rival Itachi's genjutsu, this is manga fact. Orochimaru beforehand thought otherwise, approaching Itachi carelessly. Hell we still don't know his intent completely (capture,persuade, threat).

I'll admit his speed, genjutsu and skill displayed is greater, no one is denying that. However, i won't ignore the fact the Orochimaru's character hasn't been able to display anything other than Edo. His hype leading up to his death rivals the skill of some of the strongest characters in the series. But I'm not here to discuss hype, considering Orochimaru has created arguably the most jutsu in the series (skill).

Itachi's genjutsu is Orochimaru's weakness? Orochimaru admitted a man was stronger than him solely because of genjutsu?

Ah , it is a shame that the once in a decade genius, bursting with talent could not just not make eye contact

Yes. You and I both know the mechanics behind genjutsu, with Orochimaru not being unable to surpass this he indeed viewed this as a sign of weakness. Itachi had control over his body, nind,etc. Orochimaru takes pride is his ability to.mentally surpass individuals, which is why we've instances of genjutsu type jutsu used by him prior us seeing the Itachi/Orchimaru altercation. This was a defeat in his mind, as he failed to prevent such a situation from occurring in the first place. We see his disbelief is scan, he shock in being caught in such a jutsu.

Orochimaru didn't attempt to avoid eye contact. Orochimaru wantes to surpass Itachi's genjutsu and failed. That was his dumb decision.
