Could Itachi really have surpassed Madara?

[Itachi Uchiha Solo King]

Itachi talked about surpassing Madara. Even if he was just pretending to be interested in that, do you think he was entirely bluffing? Or is there possibly some truth to it?

I mean, let's just say Itachi was able to find a way to cure himself of AIDS. Let's say he never had to die. Let's say he and Sasuke traded eyes peaceably (Sasuke's eyes having more potential than Itachi's; emphasized on more than one occasion) to obtain Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Let's say he got his crow back from Naruto and lived long enough for Kotoamatsukami to become usable again. And finally, let's say he happened to come across some Senju/Hashirama DNA and potentially get himself a pair of Rinnegan.

Do you think that, for all the power-ups Itachi could've conceivably accessed, and with a few more years in his prime, that he could've truly ever surpassed Madara? Or did he simply not have that potential?

I'm only being semi-wankish. I'm also actually semi-curious, so don't take this as a troll thread. Try to be good sports about it.

If itachi enjoyed battle killing was truly evil got ems ,s then yea he could surpass madara

 

[The Western Wheel]

Ems itachi is tsukiyomi, ama and a susanno with totsuka and yata SPAM >>> ems madara

 

[Solaris Vexius]

No. Because he isn't a transmigrant. It's stupid but nope.

 

[Ronak]

He never would have awakened rinnegan even if he got some hashirama dna, the reason Madara able to awaken it was because he was transmigration of indra and hashirama was of ashura. And when he mixed hashirama's chakra with his, that was the chakra of So6p and he had rinnegan. ...

 

[Cresee]

Why are a lot of people saying Itachi had AIDS? :|

 

[Minator93]

Without much effort U_U

This. If Itachi was here, this fight would be over.

Potential-wise, Itachi, with his Susanoo and weapons, could of been god-tier.

 

[CutDeep]

Itachi is a psychopath and he failed to do any real good.

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

EMS Madara doesn't even need his Sharingan to beat Itachi. Have you seen everything he's capable of without MS jutsus? Completely different leagues.

You such a hater to Itachi , don't get mad he solos your fav .

 

[Uchiha Marshmallow]

If Itachi became power hungry,he would currently be on a similar level to Shinjuu Madara.

 

[EdoItachi]

None of that makes up for the fact that Itachi didn't have a very large chakra pool unlike Madara.

 

[LustyLover]

If Itachi was as power hungry as Madara was, he would of surpassed Madara in a heartbeat. He could of easily stole Oro's DNA and gained Senju DNA from him when he had him immobilized. And, yes, he would of gained the Rinnegan, because the Uchiha are already direct descendants of Indra, and the Senju Ashura. It is a mix of Indra and Ashura.

YM+ PS along with the Rinnegan would of made him essentially invincible. Spammable Izanagi, constant healing, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Koto Amatsukami would of made him incredibly powerful. In fact, what if Itachi, instead of taking both of Sasuke's eyes, decided to implant Shisui's in one and Sasuke's in the other? He could use KA infinitely that way with no reprieve and still have the advantages of all his dojutsu's techniques, as well as possibly obtain a separately unique technique.

Not a chance, otherwise Kishi would have replaced Madara's role with Itachi.

Itachi was already in too deep with the plot. He wouldn't of had Itachi state he could of surpassed Madara if he couldn't.

 

[HiddenSound]

He could have, not counting his illness. Just think of a Perfect Susano'o only with Totsuka and Yata :/

Wish he stayed the villain. It would of made more sense.

 

[Conspirator.]

No. Madara is superior to Itachi in practically every way, that's not even counting MS.

Not really. Stamina, Ninjutsu, strength, yes. Genjutsu and speed, no.
