Itachi w/o MS and at 30%.
-Has Genjutsu.
Itachi w/ MS:
-Has Genjutsu.
-Has Amaterasu.
-Has Susanoo.
-Has his physical abilities at their full might.
Based on what Kakashi knew at the time and what he had at the time, a clone from the start was the best option. But it doesn't take much effort to realize that a Kakashi w/ Kamui and intel on the rest of Itachi's much more dangerous abilities knows that clones aren't the best option to start off with. You say "clones to counter the initial one shot attempt" even though that argument is literally no different than saying Kakashi starts off with Kamui to defeat and prevent Itachi from one shotting him.
What are you even arguing? That Kakashi using a clone is a more likely thing for him to do rather than start the match off using his MS? Because that's exactly what it sounds like you've been arguing these past 3 posts and that's false.
Lmao. What in the world are you even talking about with this point? How does this disprove a thing I said? Kakashi suing clones is circumstantial. Clones fit in that circumstance. That circumstance is obviously not this circumstance That isn't something that lets you claim something like "clone feints are his go to move". :lol
I addressed the first bit below.
I addressed that last bit in my last post.
No, it's not for reasons I've explained twice now. Kakashi didn't tag an instant tech. That statement in itself makes no sense because you can't match instant with not instant. Nor is it a testament to his reactions because he didn't react to anything in a way that'd measure his speed.
-Gedo Mazo appears from Obito's body.
-Kakashi uses Kamui.
-Gedo Mazo warps away during the Kamui.
Kakashi used Kamui first and the Mazo was warped away during it. The only way this would be a feat is if the Mazo started to teleport before Kamui was used, but it didn't as the Manga shows.
There is no difference. I literally just cited two examples where this difference you speak of doesn't exist. So repeating the same thing you typed above doesn't get you any points. L-O-L @ Common sense. What you think is common sense is irrelevant when the Manga has shown us a completely different story.
-Ash Bones.
-Gedo Mazo's arm.
2 incomparable sizes yet the warp speeds aren't shown to differ at all. If it's that minuscule then bringing it up is pointless to begin with.
And no, there is no clear difference shown in the warping time between Rasengan and Naruto's clone.
But is setting up a clone
still not the best option? Besides Tsukuyomi, he has Amaterasu to look out for. Itachi has used Amaterasu on a whim before, but Susano'o is a defensive measure unless you're telling me Itachi goes straight for a V4, which makes absolutely zero sense. For one second lets just look past Itachi's entire arsenal, and lets focus on what matters, which is the MS.
- Amaterasu is a one shot
- Tsukuyomi is a one shot
- V4 Susano'o makes no sense here whatsoever, not at the start anyways.
So 2 out of 3 of Itachi's MS techs are potential one shots, and you're really telling me Kakashi won't opt for a clone here? Lets get serious please. I'm trying to tell you that Itachi's style of fighting is based around Genjutsu, and the way to minimise that risk is to utilise the partner method, which Kakashi can do with clones. That's all.
What I'm arguing is this: any
potential one shot at the start of the match is avoided on Kakashi's part, whether it's Amaterasu or Kamui. If he uses Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi and fails, Kamui one shots him first, especially if he uses Amaterasu. Can't believe you're arguing this with me when the first thing Kakashi did when he met Itachi was telling everyone to avoid eye contact, then made a clone soon after.
And this circumstance is no different. Itachi's arsenal is built around one shots. You have literally no point here whatsoever.
Naruto's hand moved a few inches at most, and only because he was already in motion. Still, the Rasengan disappeared nigh instantly, and it isn't really debatable. When Kakashi aims for Itachi's head, it'd take roughly that same amount of time.
You're correct on the situation, I'll concede on that point, but lets analyse something else. Kakashi's Kamui was interrupted literally right after using the jutsu, and something as large as the Mazo's arm was ripped off. Itachi gets the exact same treatment, unless I'm forgetting something like Kakashi being on Naruto's chakra.
- Kakashi warped Kaguya's bone when juiced off Rikoudou, so that's irrelevant [

- Mentioning the Gedo is irrelevant, as we never saw the outcome. When Kamui gets interrupted it just snatches a random limb, as seen against Deidara. There's no way for us to compare the two when in one instance, his Kamui was enhanced, and in the other one it was interrupted before it finished.
- When Naruto's clone got warped, you can see his
body get sucked in from top to bottom. The Rasengan just disappeared nigh instantly.
@Waltz, that's not what I was talking about
