Don't know why people say Kabuto is stronger than Itachi. If the fight is a 1vs1(so no Edos), then i believe Itachi would still have win. People forget that:

- Itachi was holding back. Proof is that he didn't even used his full Susanoo with Yata and totsuka. What could Kabuto do in this case?

- Sure it was 2vs1 but sometimes when you're not alone winning a fight is even more difficult. In the fight, i've seen, Itachi was always there to try and protect Sasuke:

Here again, he protect Sasuke: Sure Sasuke helped after that by protecting him with Amaterasu, but that would have not even happen if he Sasuke wasn't there since he would have protect himself instead of protecting Sasuke

The time or chakra he uses to protect Sasuke in a 2vs1 would be no waste in a 1vs1 where he could concentrate fully and deal with his opponent

- If it was a serious fight, Itachi could even had won here for example:
Kabuto was fooled by the crow clone. So he would not have seen totsuka coming. If Itachi had used totsuka at that time instead of coming forward with a sword, what could Kabuto have done there?

So i think in a 1vs1, Itachi is stronger than Kabuto. Without even wanting to kill him, he deal with him with Izanami. So with complete Susanoo, yata mirror, and totsuka, combined with his intellect, he could have deal with Kabuto if he wanted

The main point I agree with is that Itachi caught Kabuto with a crow clone. Indeed if Itachi had been serious a toska to the chest would have been enough. Litterally the same way he sealed Nagato.

Are we talking about prime, or the fight in the cave? If it's when they're both prime this shouldn't even be a question. If it was in the cave, just bear in mind Kabuto wasn't trying either. He didn't want to damage Sasuke.

Funny that you have to take out Edo-Tensei from Kabuto. Either way Kabuto with Sage Mode still triumphs over Itachi. Oh and Kabuto was holding back too.

i mostly agree itachi is stronger, but the problem for itachi is that kabuto knew everything about itachi and his abilities (besides izanami) and itachi knew nothing about kabuto's abilities. so itachi was caught by suprise to see his sage mode, physical attacks being useless, and especially that tech were kabuto was able to manipulate the environment into attacking.

if itachi is aware of kabuto;s abilities he wins no problem, if not he stands to lose.

Did you miss the part where he would have been killed a few times if he wasn't an edo in the fight with Kabuto as well as Sasuke saving him a few times.

As soon as Itachi is on the winning side it is a great thread and you are right xd.
You are right in this situation though, although they were both holding back, Itachi was holding back more and if he was serious would have won.

Like i've said, Sasuke was even the reason why he was in those difficult position. Without Sasuke it would have never happened

You over estimate Totsuka Blade a lot, Susano'o Arrow was not fast enough to catch Kabuto, why would you think Totsuka would? The only weapon I see Itachi has to attack Kabuto with is Izanami or a very wisely used Izanagi. Otherwise there is nothing Kabuto can't avoid in Dragon SM.
