Dafuq. Im not sure why people are saying iron skin or mentioning his hearts.
Op said taijutsu. Iron skin is ninjutsu. His other hearts use ninjutsu therefore why people keep mentioning this ive no idea.

Anyway the clear cut winner here is itachi.
He has already blitz 3 sharigan users in the konoha police force and defeated them with taijutsu at 12.

Now everything else is in favour of a clear cut win.
Itachi has the taijutsu advantage this is backed by the databook.
Kakuzu has a 4, itachi has a 4.5

Speed also comes into a taijutsu fight and again has the advantage.
Kakuzu's speed is 4, whilst itachi's is a 5.

Handspeed also comes in quesion because taijutsu is basically hand to hand combat therefore somebody with faster handspeed has the advantage. Itachi has demonstrated the fastest hadnseepd movement in the series and has a 5. Kakuzu has a 3.5.

All this alone should tell you that there is a clear winner. Now if you add the sharigan into this, it makes this already clear cut fight, even clearer because itachi's reflexes increases a considerable amount and with that would overwhelm kakuzu is a taijutsu fight
Some of these kids don't understand that the iron skin is a jutsu, or for some reason they think the sharingan is an actual jutsu in and of itself. It allows for jutsu to be used through it, but it isn't a jutsu.

I know but sharingan is a dojutsu , so it was not fair from the thread maker.

If it was a true taijutsu fight, I would have put Itachi w/o the Sharingan and Kakuzu w/o Iron skin/tentacle-like body/5 hearts (since that's all apart of his ninjutsu). Like this though, Itachi won't have much of a chance.

Kakuzu is stronger, has more stamina and more powerful, hes strikes maybe powerful then Itachi's, but Itachi has speed reactions and uniquie taijutsu technique, he's speed is incredible, if battle is too long maybe Kakuzu will won, but i think we do not see enough of Itachi's Taijutsu

I refrained from answering

Itachi. Both his Taijutsu and speed skills exceed Kakuzu's with 0.5 points, and since Kakuzu 'only' has 4.5 points at speed Itachi could very well predict all of his movements. Doton: Domu may harden his skin to a frightening degree, yet it also slows down his movements, making it easier for Itachi to dodge and counterattack. Moreover I doubt that it hardens sensitive spots like his eyes, which would be an opening.

I'm excluding Jiongu, his strings, since they're considered Ninjutsu.

That doesn't change anything,Kakuzu has 4 in taijutsu and speed even Kakashi has 4.5 speed and taijutsu.Itachi has 4.5 in taijutsu and 5 in speed so i won't change a lot. Kakuzu has iron skin wich can only be countered by lighting and and his tentacles.

If they'd have to fight only taijutsu,Kakuzu would take Itachi's heart.It's a bad match up.

The only chance to win for Itachi is to restrict Kakuzu to not use iron skin and tentacles.

Kakazu would win.

Kakashi and Itachi seemed equal in Taijutsu, but Kakazu kicked the shit out of Kakashi in taijutsu despite Kakashi having a 4.5 in Taijutsu and a 4.5 in speed when he only has a 4 in both categories.

Also Earth Grudge Fear(threads) may be a ninjutsu, but its used for Taijutsu.
Just as Sharingan is a jutsu, you have to activate it and it consumes chakra making it a jutsu just like Earth Grudge Fear. Sharingan is used for taijutsu also therefore both should be valid taijutsu techniques. Also Iron skin is used for taijutsu but I think that's a cheap move in this fight I don't think Kakazu needs it.

Bottom line Kakazu wins with his threads.

Itachi loses with his Sharingan.

who would win?

restrictions: a purely taijutsu match. itachi can use sharingan to predict movements. kakazu can use iron skin
Why did you do this to Itachi? Lol. Kakazu obviously wins thanks to domu...

Itachi is indeed faster and more skilled, but since this is strictly taijutsu...Itachi can't get past Kakazu's durability....

Someone close this thread.
