[VS] Itachi vs. War Arc SM Naruto

[makosheva7]

Naruto would win this. SM allows Naruto to be one with the environment, noticing the opponents presence and movements even without eyesight. He is already too familiar with Itachi's genjutsu style to fall for it(their war arc encounter prove that), or at least not tsukuyomi, that's for sure and any other genjutsu is irrelevant infront of Naruto's chakra control.

SM sensing also helps to prevent amaterasu. In base and physically exhausted he could form chakra arms to protect himself. No reason to believe SM Naruto couldn't. With this he can either dodge with shunshin senpou rasengan, shield himself with a clone or kawarimi, throw rasenshuriken in advance the time Itachi prepares it(leaving him open). Smoke screen could also be used to block Itachi's vision. Frog kata could also theoritically push the flames away similarly to chakra arms since it allows the user to use the energy environment as an external part of his own body

In Taijutsu, Itachi would be bested by his SM Naruto's precognition alongside superior physical speed and frog katas(he bested Deva Path who has comparable physical stats with Itachi). His Chou Odama Rasenshuriken would also best his Susanoo. If needed, he can corner him from 4 sides to avoid the yata mirror

If needed, SM Naruto can still summon Pa/Ma for their genjutsu or frog song that would not allow Itachi to maintain Susanoo. Besides that he can also create diversions with clones and replicate all the above mentioned

War arc Naruto can also enter SM close to instantly, so he doesn't need to worry about running out of natural energy and if needed he has the necessarly tools to create diversions. With Pa/Ma, this "weakness" disappear completely anyway

@Bold You're right that's true.

And not to mention he has boss toad summons to help.

do you think Itachi has enough stamina to create an Amaterasu with chakra amount equal to COFRS?

When he's healthy? Yes. Hell, even when he's sick he can.

A KB spam (1000 + clones) is all Naruto needs to prep either frog song or COFRS. Itachi can't distinguish which clone is which as it's not EMS and Naruto has intel on Amaterasu as he has seen it before.

If Naruto makes 1000+ clones, then he's pretty much made himself fodder since he won't have the Senjutsu Chakra to use anything that'll bust Rasen Shuriken, not to mention he'll be able to tell which one is the original by seeing the guy who has Ma and Pa on his shoulder.

So this plan fails, hard.

Itachi wins this with some challange.
