I am not uchiha fanboy, I am manga fanboy.
I don't care about retarded "this could happen" scenario's. If we go by that logic a Sword of Totsuka and Tsukuyomi Genjutsu right away would have defeated Nagato.
I avoid "What if" scenarios and focus on what happend in the manga:
Itachi Saves Naruto and Bee
Itachi tells them what to do
Itachi teaches Naruto a lesson about Shinobi combat in the middle of CT going off lol
Itachi 1 Shots Nagato and seals him
Itachi didn't get hit 1 time
U mad? more NFIDS (Nagato Fanboys In Denial Syndrome).
If you are truly a manga fanboy then start acting like one. Outright rejecting arguments from one side claiming NFIDS is making an strawman argument.
Secondly both sides are equally fanatic when it comes to their favourite character. Oversimplification of your opponant's positions is akin to absurdity.
Fact 1: Nagato didn't fight. He was used as a weapon BY Kabuto and it was Kabuto VS Itachi fight.
Fact 2: All the edo's in full control are limited by the capabilities of Kabuto- If Kabuto doesn't know what to do next, Edo won't do waht to do next.
Fact 3: Nagato was in full control when he fought Itachi and didn't do anything to fight any of the trio on his own.
Fact 4: Kishi made sure that the message is conveyed who is really fighting when he showed us Kabuto cursing after Nagato getting sealed.
Fact 5: We never got to see a a fight between Nagato and Itachi under circumstance- we just found out about the abilities of sharingan and rinnegan.
Nagato has already tought Naruto what he had to - he made him think beyond the personal goal of becoming a hokage. He had done hs bit for Konoha for Jiraiya and Naruto's sake when he sacrificed himself reviving KOnoha. He has no obligation as a shinobi dead or alive towards Konoha at this point.
Before anyone starts again about Itachi getting free of Kabuto's control and having a back up plan- Well it was his village and his brother for which he had thought about a back up strategy. And it was an accidental benefit he recived.
MInd you I did not point this out to pull Itachi down. Just reminding the exact circumstances to put things in perspective.
Itachi called himself a failure, Nagato did too. I don't think either were of them a failure - Both of them were highly talented and powerful but inexperience and sort of lost in the mess created by the war. Both wanted to achieve and maintain peace- tried to find solution without guidance- ended up with the masked guy Tobi.
The two extra ordinary shinobis were used and wasted by Tobi who now get abused from their fans from both sides.U_U
