Itachi's Chakra levels were higher than most think

[SSS12]

I just wanted to point out that Itachi's chakra levels were higher than most people think. Many people said in Part 1 that Itachi was exhausted after using Mangekyou twice - Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu + Water jutsu and Shadow clones + Genjutsu on the girl. I think that's not too bad. Remember he didn't want to use MS again as he wanted to save it for Sasuke. This is precisely the reason why he fled against Jiraiya, as he would have had to use MS.
Then in the Final fight against Sasuke, other than all the fire jutsus + genjutsus + Amaterasu twice and to put out the flames of Amaterasu + Tsukuyomi + Susanoo. However, people fail to notice that in his last moments he also used Transcription Seal: Amaterasu to protect Sasuke from Tobi. This is easily overlooked. This probably took atleast as much chakra as any Ms technique in addition to the chakra the seal itself required.
Still think Itachi had low chakra? Remember he was already dying in the last fight, yet he still used quite a few jutsus.

i agree, i mean, to implant his jutsu into his brothers eye....thats crazy, because itatchis ms showed up for amaterasu....CRAZY

 

[FlyingThunderGodHax]

yes people underestimate his chakara levels. He has the same chakara levels as sasuke but with long hair -_-

 

[Naruto Ninetails]

Agreed...........

 

[jaykuhz]

damn, good point. lol

 

[-S-]

of course he had crazy chakra - he's Itachi :/

oh my god who cares. It's not like Itachi is a character people are constantly underestimating. If anything people constantly overestimate him, though he is very strong

People are saying Itachi has low stamina when that is actually far from the truth. They usually say that based on his performance in part 1.

Also, He put in a crow in Naruto before their fight.


He also kept Susanoo activated until he died. He did all this while sick.


So, I agree, Itachi actually has better stamina than most people claim.

 

[Mante]

Yes, i agree without reading ur post

 

[Kwalker394]

Good point. I agree with everything you said

 

[Baka Sennin]

no, he just has great efficiency with his techniques and can use them with the minimum chakra required. against pain, kakashi used kamui twice, a raikiri hound, raikiri, and raikiri bunshin, all a or s-rank techs, but would you say he has great stamina? despite him greatly increasing his capacity for techniques, his stamina remained 3 in all 3 databooks. no, he's just efficient, and that allows them to use chakra-intensive techniques despite their poor stamina.

also, i don't believe that itachi's sickness had much to do with his stamina. kimimaro had a much worse version of the sickness, and was practically dead, yet he had a stamina of 4.5 in the databook. so I don't think the sickness is linked to stamina much. That and the ms blindness did hamper itachi from reaching his full potential though.

No, I think you are mistaken. His chakra control was just very good and not that he had a lot of chakra. However his chakra control was so good he could outlast opponents that had way higher chakra levels than him.

I was planning on making a thread about this issue, but since i dont intend to get into any scuffle with people on nb whom majority i dont acknowledge ive decided to launch it on another forum where the people there are elites.

But this is what ill say.
Sssuke mastered the fireball technique at 7. In which Fugaki (sp) said itachi had mastered at an earlier age than sasuke. Obviously we dont know the exact age, but he mastered it alot younger than sasuke.

Now sasuke at 12 demonstrated this during his first meeting with kakashi and kakashi noted that a genin shouldnt have this much chakra for such a technique. If thats the case, id like to see his reaction to itachi demonstrating this at roughly 6 years old since thats around the time his father hinted that he was able to use it.

Now he activated the sharigan at 8. Obviously since he is an uchiha it would have little effect on his stamina, but it still did.

Now if you go back to the fight between danzo and sasuke, he talked both about amaterasu and tsukuyomi then said sasuke is indeed itachi's brother. This clearly hints that danzo has seen itachi use these techniques before. Now itachi slaughtered his clan at 12/13 and this is roughly the same time he activated the ms. If a 12/13 can use ms techniques that we all know takes up quiet a high chunk of chakra, itachi's chakra as a kid was roughly above normal for his age group. Sasuke commented after using susano v1 stage for the first time at 16/17, said that he cannot imagine how it felt for itachi, and itachi was alot younger than sasuke when he activated the ms.

Now this kimmamro issue is flawed. Just because he has a 4.5/5 for stamina can hint to many things. Firstly he has the cm2, that coudlve influenced his stamina. Next he was supposed to be oro's vessel, if thats the case he wouldve gone through abit of experiments no different to sasuke which couldve increased his stamina. Also note that 4.5/5 doesnt mean this was his original stamina. He couldve gained a 5/5, but his illness influenced this. Also dont not say an illness wouldnt have a 0.5 disadvantage, because that is also flawed, because he couldve had higher than a 5/5 for stamina but the max is capped at 5. Example sasori, hidan, kisame all have a 5/5 for stamina. If we were to estimate nagato would also have a 5/5 for stamina.

Now in the manga its already been established by nagato talking through deva path that kisame has the highest chakra in akatsuki. Therefore just because sasori and hidan also have a 5/5 for stamina doesnt mean they rival kisame, but rather the stat is capped at 5

His chakra levels are about the same as Kakashi's possibly a little lower, but that's about it. He has great chakra control, which allowed him to use high level jutsu without using a significant amount of chakra.

 

[Owarij]

Forgot about the transscription seal

and yeaa blaze is right, according to kakashi, genins aren't supposed to be able to use the fireball technique, it takes too much chakra that they normally don't have..

sasuke got it at about 7 or 8? itachi before that.. that means itachi had high chakra levels even as a child..


and 13 year old itachi dishing out ms jutsu, would most likely cost alot of chakra

itachi's stanima was just fked due to his sickness

 

[enditallsin]

i agree but its not like he can compete with shinobi that have extremely high chakra levels, but what you say makes sense(bout time somebody around here did) + rep

 

[Kristjan]

lolspec the nly reason itachi was alive was becasue medication kept him there.

kimimaro was under machines so yeah

 

[Shisui Namikaze]

Itachis chakra levels are piss poor. Go look at the data books.

Are you serious? Are you really serious?

I disagree. His chakra levels were impressive, but they were still low nonetheless, due to his illness. During Part I, I'm sure using the Exploding Clone Technique and Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change (Against Kurenai) didn't take that much chakra, seeing as he was using the Clone Technique since he was a child (Flashbacks) and his Prowess in genjutsu meant that it took little effort to trap an opponent (since he only needed to look at them, or merely point a finger). In contrast, MS techniques, regardless of the user, inevitably put strain on them due to the vast amount of chakra that the techniques require. You say he didn't want to use his MS as he was saving it for Sasuke, yet during his reunion with his younger brother, he willingly used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke when it was clear that he was already defeated and could no longer even stand up (I'm aware that it was done in order to prompt Sasuke to make him even stronger than he was currently, but it was still unnecessary).

In his final fight with Sasuke, he did use a lot of chakra consuming techniques, including his trump card, Susano'o, and the Transcription Seal: Amaterasu in his last moments. However, Itachi went beyond his limits through sheer willpower in his last battle, evidenced as soon as he activated Susano'o's complete form; he immediately began convulsing and bringing up blood. In fact, as he was approaching Sasuke, when his eyes were shown, his Mangekyo had completely lost its design, with only the red iris remaining, showing that he had clearly gone beyond his means - he managed to keep Susano'o active despite his MS already being sealed away. It was this, along with the use of the Transcription seal, that his body finally gave out - He had used up not only his chakra reserves, but his life force as well.
