Obviously, Itachi was one of the strongest characters in the series. We never really got to see his prime, just what he could do when he was sick which was still highly impressive. How strong was he when he was healthy? Personally, I think he could probably go toe to toe with someone like Tobirama, Izuna, and Madara before Madara had his EMS (otherwise it's susanoo spam gg).

I think this cause when Hebi Sasuke fought Itachi, we already watched Sasuke blitz Deidara and Obito. Having always been a prodigy in taijutsu, it's clear that Sasuke by this point was an extremely talented ninja in that aspect but he got shot down in just a few moves by Itachi. Granted, Itachi was sick and couldn't keep up, but had he been healthy and able to keep up in a fight I think he'd have been able to beat Tobirama or Izuna.

Idk man. Naruto is over and now I've got nothing to talk about lmao

Itachi with no restriction is easily equal to MS Sasuke like Izuna was with Madara. His eyes possess the other half of Indra's power

It's clear Itachi would be capable in his prime of achieving much more than he was limited to while sick. Kishimoto gave Itachi the keys to success, if he had been prime there would've been no war.

Even if there had been a war, Totsuka Blade, and Yata Mirror paired with his unmatched intelligence (Tobirama is his equal however) Obito, Kabuto, and Madara wouldn't stand a chance.

Itachi in his prime was never meant to wield the level of eye power he had, he didn't have the body for strong chakra unlike Sasuke

3t itachi was already mid kage lvl base off feats (edo or not) so MS puts him pretty ****ing high especially if he were healthy with sharingan not blind.

Yeah hype or not that totsuka blade is broken asf. I highly doubt kabuto escape that shit on his own if hit.

He is for me top 5 maybe.

Strongest are Itachi, Obito, Minato, Madara, Kakashi and Tobirama.

It won't be Itachi's powers but his wits and skills that would put him above other MS users...

At his theoretical best, he would have been able to fight Tobi on equal terms before eventually losing, because his poor stamina and blindness issue are common in any scenario.

Sasuke didn't blitz deidara
He only survived because he sacrificed manda that is no way shape or form the definition of blitzing

No one escapes Totsuka unless they already possess lingering chakra in the world, and can be released from the ethereal blade's illusion dimension (like Orochimaru through the evil release method). Literally Itachi possesses things that would've ended this war, and God herself (Kaguya).
