He admitted to it because Jiraiya was a Sannin, something that is fallible since Itachi negged a Sannin. This automatically invalidates Itachi's statement. In addition to that, after Itachi retreated, Kisame questioned why Itachi had to escape with his power implying that Itachi could've won, but didn't due to over using his eyes.
Not to be taken too serious. Someone who picks and chooses which part 1 statements are valid because it's convenient to their made up belief isn't ever going to have anything of worth to provide. Especially part 1 statements concerning an author who had no concrete idea of everything he had in planned for the remainder of the series. So many things in part 2 override part 1, but you'll have the fair share of clueless posters with low reading comprehension levels.
Lmao def not he would have been just some grunt I bet lolThat big dude right? Would of probably been more bad ass that way
So he's the Slayer of the Old Gods. Sounds even more badass.
That's irrelevant considering Hiruzen hyped Itachi as being superior to him at a younger age. Secondly, weren't you comparing Kisame hype? How does that help him here? He indirectly admitted inferiority to Itachi as well.
Hiruzen's a god by hype. Sasuke obviously exceeds all. But that's neither here nor there. Lol
