Tobi was shown to avoid any conflicts with Itachi, if not even being scared of his abilities. Itachi probably noticed that too. So why wouldn't he just kill him? Of course Itachi wouldn't do that not in front of all other Akatsuki memebers, but either to lure him out on a 1vs1. Maybe Itachi just knew that with his sickness he wouldnt be able to fight Tobi and afterwards Sasuke, so he was choosing between them and decided to battle Sasuke, while preparing Amaterasu in his eye, thus entrusting him with the quest of killing Tobi? Your thoughts on this?
Why didn't Itachi kill Tobi himself?
- Thread starter MrLel28
- Start date
Itachi feared obito as well, he even admitted to needing EMS to beat him.
Normal itachi would be slaughtered by Obito, his low chakra levels and illness would end the fight quickly in obito's favor. Perhaps a healthy itachi would have a higher chance.

Itachi beats him in 1 vs 1, and Amaterasu proves it. Sure, Obito absorbed Sasuke's Ama when it landed on him, however with Itachi's skills he can outlast Obito. Totsuka Blade is a huge factor here, and Itachi knows to find a jutsu's weakness. The only way for Tobi to survive is to escape, lol.
Unfortunately Tobi >> Itachi, between the wood style, Kamui and superior fire techniques Itachi gets wrecked, and Itachi knows it.
Tobi also has at least one Izanagi and an unlimited supply of sharingan thanks to Itachi

Itachi is powerful indeed but Obito is one opponent i don't see him defeating without dying in the process
How does itachi outlast him, obito's chakra reserves are ginormous.
Obito was hit by amaterasu because he never expected it, he wasn't in battle mode, you think one on one against Itachi he wouldn't expecte it? Kamui>>amaterasu in speed.
Totsuka blade isn't doing anything, obito can just use mokuton roots to pierce itachi from beneath susanoo and avoid totsuka with kamui. Heck obito can walk right through susanoo.

u underestumate itachi
shadow clones and feints gets around Kamui and puts Itachi in a position to attack successfully
U underestimate obito.
Shadow clone feints by naruto didn't work, it took kakashi, might guy, BM naruto and BM killer bee to even damage obito slightly. Itachi can't hold his own against those foes at once.
Obito isn't a fool he knows very well what weaknesses his kamui has and he also has plenty of intel on itachi and how to counter him. Itachi's only real hope is izanami which obito more than likely has intel on so it is doubtful it would work.
Obito can avoid itachi by going underground in addition to kamui and he can also use those massive katon jutsu and mokuton roots to skewer itachi. His chakra levels will allow him to easily outlast itachi.
Itachi is one of my top 3 favs, obito isn't. I don't see how obito won't win more often than not

You can take this how you want, but in RTN Itachi was certain he had a way to defeat Obito. Which going by Itachi's intelligence, isn't that hard to believe.
Also, Obito has been surprised by plenty of ninja even with his Kamui:
- Caught by Ama by Sasuke
- Almost died by Konan's paper bomb emissary
- Was scared sh!tless by Kabuto's Edo Tensei
Meanwhile Itachi has overthrown every opponent he's come across:
- Kurenai
- Young Sasuke
- Naruto
- Kakashi
- Jaraiya
- Kisame
- Sasuke (orchestrated death)
- Nagato
- Deidara
- DSM Kabuto
Itachi also had Koto at the time. My moneys on Itachi aka The guy who was only defeated once and he who orchestrated his own death.
RTN is non canon.
- obito wasn't ready for battle, getting caught off guard is something that has happened to even itachi, he was fooled by kakashi he assumed he caught the real kakashi in a genjutsu but it was only a clone.
-Konan's paper bomb required a lot of prep it wasn't something on the spot, itachi wouldn't have survived it either.
-You think itachi wouldn't be concerned if kabuto threatened him with madara? :lol
Lol itachi never beat jiraya, nagato or DSM kabuto on his own and how is that a point? By your logic itachi should be able to beat kaguya because he has beaten so many others.
KA was programmed to work on sasuke to use it on obito, itachi would have to reconfigure it which isn't something he can do mid battle seeing as the eye isn't in his own socket.
Again by your logic itachi can defeat kaguya because he only lost once which isn't true.

That's rinne/ms Obito which isn't the obito itachi last saw so that Obito isnt in this, Ms Obito is in this and that's a big difference...both feared each other for a reason
Itachi ONLY feared Obito because he thought he was MADARA UCHIHA. That's also because he didnt know all of Obito's powers, but guess freaking what!? Obito had NONE of them powers except this OP ass Kamui bullshit. If Itachi truly knew the identity of Tobi and how weak he was, this manga would've ended after Pain vs Konoha fight.

say what? defeating Kaguya? my logic doesn't stipulate to him defeating Kaguya AT ALL. Im talking about why theres a good chance he can defeat Obito.
- That was a 30% Itachi that got fooled by Kakashi. We already seen what a 100% Itachi did to Kakashi
- Susanoo and Yata Mirror negs hers paper bombs and her paper bomb emissary was a jutsu designed for only Obito in the first place. Still Yata negs
- Yeah of course, my point was that Obito's Kamui isnt all powerful like u made it seem. I was showing you how plenty of people can get around it and have even scared Obito even though he has Kamui
- You clearly missed the point of my post. I was again, giving you instances of why Itachi will have a great chance at beating Obito. Then i gave reasons to support my opinion by listing different times Itachi has defeated or got around most if not all of his opponents when they tried to defeat him or trap him
- Im sure reconfigurating KA would've not been that hard of a task if Itachi knew he was going to face Obito one day. Reforming Sasuke was much more important apparently.
- Again, ive never at any point hinted that Itachi can defeat Kaguya. I simply gave reasons why he would most likely defeat Obito
Please, let me recall Obito's battle style and his jutsu usage throughout the series:
Battle mindset: warp himself out of the ass, pass through all the incoming damage by Kamui, warp his opponent in Kamuiland.
That's just great that's so entertaining and DEFINETELY freaking FAIR, of course. Can't think of a more lame and cowardly fighting style than of this fodder shmuck.
Jutsu usage:
Mediocre Katon Goukakyu no Jutsu that a lot of fodders have been spamming throughout the whole manga/anime.
Katon Bakufu Ranbu which IS IN FACT THE SAME GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU. It's just because of his Kamui it takes the shape of a whirlpool. Double facepalm, such originality and truly an inmprovent in raw power, Fodderbito.
hmm, what else? Ah, Izanagi, of course, because this coward weakling can only win by cheating and fleeing away.
Absolutely mediocre genjutsu:sharingan, which is probably the only genjutsu he knows. Not surprised.
His mastery of rinnegan is even more ridiculous. He has the power of a god and YET THIS derp STILL spams this Kamui and throws kamui-shurikens and rods out of the ass, omfg.
Basically if you replace Obito with Part 1 Sasuke ( pre-cursed tag ) and give him Kamui that's it - now you have the perfect villain! GG!
