Itachi is top 5 overrated characters in the series, if you try to argue that anything about him is underrated, you're wrong.

KCM Naruto and A are not exactly what you can call taijutsu masters (especially Naruto) to begin with.

Naruto has been trained in advanced martial arts,he is no slouch.
Legit top tier.

Its overrated, taijutsu isn't something that a ninja is bad at to begin with. But people are saying a genjutsu specialist can beat taijutsu specialist in taijutsu is funny.

I never said Itachi could defeat Ay or 3rd Raikage in Taijutsu. I'm saying that Itachi isn't getting killed in 5 seconds by a speed blitz. He held his own against KCM Naruto which was the point I was making.

Let's add that Itachi > Sasuke in taijutsu. Yet Sasuke was able to dodge and touch Ay.

Itachi's taijutsu is highly overrated, it's nothing compared to the raikages, killer b and Might Gai

I love when people read a title and go straight to posting.

>Took on KCM Naruto and kept his posture

>Sasuke dodged and hit Ay with chidori (didn't damage him though). Itachi > Sasuke in taijutsu

>Two 3T Sharingan users (Kakashi and hebi Sasuke) couldn't read his hand signs

Arm/hand speed. Technically it does count toward Ninjutsu, but it shows how fast he can move his arms/hands if he tries to punch, stab, block, or dodge an opponent.

Itachi is overrated, he`s not as good in Taijutsu as Rock Lee Gai, or the Hyuga clan member, especially the genius Neji hyuga.
He's better than Neji in the Taijutsu section - at least when he is using his Sharingan.

I agree with you, but Sasuke's Chidori did damage the Raikage (not shown in the Anime):

Handsign has nothing to do with taijutsu. Sasuke dodging Ay doesn't mean Sasuke is better than Ay in Taijutsu. Sasuke can't throw punches or kicks, he himself sucks in Taijutsu. Naruto isn't too good in taijutsu himself, his only good move is frog kata and uzumaki barrage, the latter of which hasn't been used after part 1 i think

Magicians have incredibly fast hands, they aren't beating Royce Gracie.

That was Naruto with 1/12th of his power and wasn't trying to beat Itachi. He didn't use his Bijuu wrestling strength or his yellow flash body flickers, not to mention Naruto has never been credited as having high skill in taijutsu. You also forget that Itachi didn't gain any sort of advantage over Naruto.

Itachi fought Base Bee, and not only couldn't win or gain any clear advantage, but was actually forced to fall back from Bee's sword dance. Itachi is not in Bee's league.

Beating Hebi Sasuke is not an accomplishment. Like Naruto, Sasuke has a taijutsu score of 3.5/5. It was impossible for Sasuke to even fight Ei in taijutsu.

Everything about Itachi is overrated.

KCM Naruto didn't "Grab" itachi ever, they clearly had both Forearms touching each other. Next Naruto was talking with him and wasn't trying to fight serious. Lastly Naruto isn't a Taijutsu expert nor does he use any form of "skills", he is what we would call "Ground and Pound" type of fighter.

Aye never Blitz sasuke in that instance, so Sasuke dodging a none moving fast Aye isn't a feat to talk about. Next Aye blitz Sasuke right manga fact none disputable. Lastly; Sasuke used his eyes to pre determine his dodge, itachi would do the same (to a standard elbow) and then what?

Neither Aye nor KCM Naruto was using "Blitzing" speed when in confrontation with either brother. So it is nothing to brag about nor a feat that is even worth being mentioned. We all know itachi is good at taijutsu and he is fast, but don't keep trying to put him on equal speed with KCM Naruto and Aye. It's as clear as day from your past post that is what you're trying to get at. He is no where close to their speed!
