Itachi is Mid-High Kage Lvl. [proof]

[LoZelda101]

Gokage:

-Tsunade : med kage tier
-Mei: low med Kage tier
-Onoki: med-high kage tier
-Ay: med kage tier
-Non jin Gaara: med-high kage tier

And Kakashi beating Itachi has nothing to do with Itachi not being kage level lol, War arc Kakashi is definitely above med kage tier. Plus i doubt anyone believes Kakashi beats Itachi except for Kamui snipe cheating.



Example:

potentially kage level/elite jonnin: Darui (pre kage obviously), Lord Zabuza

low kage: Hiashi

low med kage: Mei

med kage: Kakuzu

med high kage: Itachi

high kage: Tobirama with edo tensei

bijuu level tier: BM Naruto, Perfect Jin Gaara

above bijuu level tier: Base Hashirama, Edo madara, Obito with paths...

... and so on. The last "kage" tier for me is high kage.

where would you put mortal minato?

@kamui snipe. could've sworn amat was just as fast.

Nagato had time to sense and warn Naruto and Bee about it. It's as fast as Kamui when it comes to spawning, but itachi's MS buildup chakra is higher than Kakashi's who can pull out a kamui from his ass in an instant.

Alive Minato is med-high kage level with feats. If we suppose Ma and Pa available and frog summons, then high kage level. Hypothetical healthy itachi is also high kage level imo.

I don't ever see anyone saying that Itachi isn't Kage level. His intelligence is on par with Minato/Kakashi/Tobirama, and his Mangekyou abilities grant him an (arguably) more powerful arsenal. He'd be one of the upper-tier Kages, even among the Hokage (probably only surpassed by Naruto/Hashirama, two Ashura transmigrants who simply have overwhelming power).

Anyway, the OP got all of this correct, I just don't get why this thread needed to be made.

 

[WalksInShadows]

ppl still care about this enough to make threads? XD

 

[patrickscott]

Point me to the idiot saying he wasn't.

 

[UnknownJin]

[Gabby-chan]

Itachi took out a Sannin shinobi at 13.

This :nefer:

Spoiler

While, according to the OP, also holding back.

Wtf? Middle kage level?

He is on the same tiers as Bee, Hashirama, Naruto, Minato and Tobirama.
