War Arc Gaara vs Itachi

[RomanCyborg]

What? Did you even read a single thing I said?​

Read it all. What makes you think gaara won't just use more sand. Itachi wouldn't be able to spam amaterasu like that I believe. He can use a lot but I don't think it can add up to the amount of sand gaara can use, maybe it can. Like I said before, I'm not sure. Of course I read what you said if I replied to it. Sand armor also serves as a backup for his sand defense BTW. If itachi can get passed it then he most likely wins. Most likely because using amaterasu like that can cause great strain. Did you read my comment explaining how sand armor works? I'm just saying I doubt the flames would get to it.

Lol, I won't bother. I'll wait for Mick to come up with something logical.​

Gaara wins. The thread Crossroads made should answer all of your questions.

Itachi wins this high diff

Lol genjutsu is never happening
long distance, sand sensing, third eye, sand clones,flight,, can enable gaara to counter genjutsu rather easily,
on top of the fact that gaara was facing 5 Madaras mokuton clones, yet he didnt fall under a genjutsu once
and the fact that gaara knows itachi is an uchiha with an MS, meaning that he would know of itachis genjuuts abilities and wont be stupid enough to just look at his eyes, not to mention that gaara is a long range fighter, and because of this genjutsu just wont happpen,

people need to know that kage level shinobi dont lose to genjutsu GG that easily

 

[enditallsin]

gaara destroys him.

 

[Apêx1]

Itachi takes this mid-high diff.
-Crow clones can be an effective counter to Gaara's distance, and he has no knowledge of them. They can scatter and reform near Gaara, and potentially use genjutsu on the astonished Gaara.
-Amateratsu isn't being stopped by Gaara's sand. His sand armor is his best bet, and even then, the black flames being on his sand armor could leave him vulnerable to crows reforming from behind.
-Third eye is linked to the optical nerve. If anything, it makes the genjutsu threat greater. A tsukiyomi would end this match with ease.
-Gaara's sand isn't quick enough to catch Itachi. Mu was capable of evading it with his sensory and decent speed. Deidara was able to outspeed it with his C1 Bird, which was depicted to be slower than Hebi Sasuke, who was slower than Itachi. Bee was being recurrently inferior to Itachi in terms of speed. Itachi should have no problem getting away from any sand threat, or in the case of a sand tsunami, use his Susano and its constituent Yata mirror.
-A Fireball Jutsu infused with Enton flames, like the one used against Sasuke, could also end the fight. The manga portrayed any Sand in contact with Enton to eventually fall onto the ground, likely because the Enton's flames would've eaten through the chakra holding them up. A continuos attack like that would mean any sand would drop to the ground after attempting to defend Gaara, while any sand armor in contact with Gaara to also end up on the floor, only to leave Gaara grilled.
-Itachi could choose to use his amateratsu, bunshin feints and himself as a strategy to land a genjutsu. Amateratsu is fired at Gaara's face and isn't reacted to. Gaara temporarily has no vision while the black flames are right in front of his face. Crows begin to reform behind Gaara, unnoticed, as the sand armor is being dropped to the ground. Once reformed, Gaara will either be taken by surprise, or will notice it at the last second, and look at the clone's eyes (or hand) to end up suffering a redeeming genjutsu defeat by the one and only, Solo king.

So...how does Itachi win high diff?

That wasn't his just genjutsu madara used multiple Susannos and Tsunade as distraction and to keep Ay in place by holding him with Susanno hand none of which itachi can do dnt b a sick show full a scan

 

[Inert Brian]

This thread needs to specify location.

Make this a desert and Itachi wins high diff. Amaterasu will fry Gaara, his sand has not been shown to be on the level of Ay's speed. It had trouble grabbing Joki boy...

Make this a grass land and Itachi wins med diff. Less sand for Itachi to deal with. But still wins as mentioned above.

 

[KazekageDaichi]

I don't get why people keep saying that third eye is useless against tsukuyomi. Illusion techniques require direct eye to eye contact. Besides if you were right it wouldn't really make a difference taking into account that his opponents barely notice there's an eye over there staring at them. It wouldn't be a shrewd move to let oneself get distracted by it neither, since Gaara is able to attack from all directions.

I actually put down two different locations for different scenario's, you know.

Don't mind my shitty reading lol, Idk how I managed to skip over to the intel part.

Gaara has a better chance in the hideout since it's a closed environment, but Amaterasu is still viable.

Gaara loses in the other location the same as mentioned if the location was a grassland.

He was distracted by tsunades injury and then got restrained by 5 susanoos
It's clearly not just genjutsu GG when there were this many factors involved

All are Kage rank or higher.​

 

[General Lex]

This a good battle that could go either way really. I do favor Gaara because he provides decent counters to all of Itachi's abilities. But then again, Itachi's intelligence makes up for a lot of what he lacks in battle thus evening out the battle. I wish we could see how Itachi fairs against long distance fighters.

 

[LustyLover]

I read that and it's definitely not what people hype it to be. I could counter 90 percent of it if not all of it by myself.​

All underestimated their opponent. Deidara was three feet away from Itachi and barely knew anything about his opponent, much less Sharingan Genjutsu. Kabuto was cocky, believing nobody able to beat him. Orochimaru was the same one tussling with the 4T Kyuubi Jinchuuriki at close range; do you really believe he cared about danger?

When have you ever seen Gaara make a mistake as blatant as those in combat?

 

[Yolobito Swagchiha]

Gaara mid diffs.

Gaara knows nothing about Sharingan: Genjutsu. What he only may know, are Ōnoki's words where he instructed the youngsters not to look at his eyes

, but further upon that Gaara has pretty much no intel on Itachi's genjutsu prowess. Would you dare to say he wouldn't fall for Utakata? No, impossible. Whether he is more careful or not is irrelevant, because he will either be caught in his genjutsu anyway or Itachi unleashes Amaterasu which will hit regardless Gaara sees it coming or not.​

One Susano'O hand, and Itachi is more than capable of replicating this simple feat to Gaara.​

In case you didn't know, Itachi is the best genjutsu user in the manga, so whether he did it or not doesn't matter.​
