"Itachi ran away from Jiraiya"

Destroyed the strongest Sannin at age 13 and it was later revealed that he wasn't in Konoha to kill anyone.


"Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo vs. Itachi"

They struggled to defeat a weakened Itachi's clone which had an extremely limited number of attacks.


"Itachi has low stamina"

Used: 3 Shadow Clones, several genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, continuous Fire Ball jutsu, Amaterasu like a spray, LV3 Susanoo for quite some time, and an Amaterasu seal all while severely sick.


"A couple of Sasuke's attacks hit Itachi"

He could have easily dodged those attacks and wasn't even moving properly.


"Sasuke broke Tsukyomi"

Itachi wasn't even trying to kill him.


"Madara (Tobi) was Itachi's mentor and comrade"

Turns out this was a big lie to trick Sasuke. Obito was afraid of Itachi and said he could have killed him. Black Zetsu (Madara's will) called Itachi invincible.


"Kabuto sliced Itachi in half"

Itachi intentionally baited Kabuto by standing there saying he will activate Izanami.


Here is perhaps the biggest retcon...

"Itachi was a failure for turning Sasuke into a criminal"

Thanks to Itachi's final words, Sasuke changed sides and brought the Hokages to battlefield.




Sigh.

Rebuttal why he always seem to fall for bunshin feints. He also fails a lot in his place. Hence why he always had a backup plan or planned ahead.

He pretty much failed his entire life. he had to be edo tensei'd to make up for it and he still needed sasuke's help.

Think he's referring to orochimaru who's just careless around uchihas

Either way it's a disappointing fail. U_U Itachi wasn't 13 when he was confronted by Oro and besides, Oro still survived after everything Itachi had to offer. :|

Sometimes Itachi succeeded (Passed his will onto Sasuke, stopped the Edo Tensei) and sometimes he failed (Obito etc) but at the end of the day, even the very greatest fail.

And praise does not = Greatness.

A person could praise a child molester, does that make them great? No.

Tobirama is largely the reason that the village survived, by implementing a schooling system and defence organizations protecting the village on the inside and out.

If it wasn't for Obito, itachi wouldn't of known inzanami.

Fake Madara (Obito) was itachi's mentor, and nagato's off screen/panel.

He also personally had Kisame work for him, and follow his ideals.

In all, greatness breeds greatness...

Obito is responsible for making itachi OP

1. itachi knew just as much about the clan as obito, if not more his father was the head of the clan.
2. it was shisui that itachi trained with and whos will,eye, and knowledge was passed to itachi. "madara is but a shell of his former self"
3 obito dosent even know who he is lol itachi had him sh*t a brick.

This is how I know he was meant for Tobirama. The very words the man would say.

Firstly, the Tsuchikage screenshot is getting really old. Second, I see nothing more than an OP of escuses.

Thanks to Itachi's final words, Sasuke changed sides and brought the Hokages to battlefield.\
and thanks to every other action of itachi's, sasuke is likely going to betray naruto and fight him to the death to rule konoha with an iron fist. as well as the lives of samurais being on sasuke's head and by extention itachis.

Destroyed the strongest Sannin at age 13 and it was later revealed that he wasn't in Konoha to kill anyone.
but had no problem brutally torturing two innocent people into comas. and he didnt destroy oro. he let him go scot free which led to a catastrophic invasion

Turns out this was a big lie to trick Sasuke. Obito was afraid of Itachi and said he could have killed him. Black Zetsu (Madara's will) called Itachi invincible.
obito didnt give a fuk about itachi, and black zetsu is a moron who also stated he thought pain was unbeatable. zetsu had no grounds and no evidence to be saying any of that, also if itachi was invincible how come he never made a move on obito when he was alive? guess zetsu didnt think that through.
and it wasnt a lie. obito did train itachi, and he did say MAYBE itachi could beat him if he knew everything about him, but itachi did not know everything and thus failed to assasinate him blind. much less defeat him head on.

"Sasuke broke Tsukyomi"

Itachi wasn't even trying to kill him.
tsukuyomi does not kill\


Used: 3 Shadow Clones, several genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, continuous Fire Ball jutsu, Amaterasu like a spray, LV3 Susanoo for quite some time, and an Amaterasu seal all while severely sick.
and died because of it. and we dont know how sick he was os dont bring fanfiction inot this.

He could have easily dodged those attacks and wasn't even moving properly.
but he didnt. he failed.

Itachi saved the narutoverse
since when is canceling kabuto, kimimaro and chiyo "saving the narutoverse"? are they that big a threat do you think? anyone who he "saved" by ending ET DIED ANYWAY when juubi got revived. itachi wasted his time and efforts on a weaker villain when he could have stopped the return of a god.
and my favourite character is sakura so i dont give a shit if itachi's above her.
Itachi ran from Jiraiya to save the lives of Sasuke Naruto Jiraiya Kisame and Kurama all at once. He escaped using a jutsu (Amateratsu) that would've killed Jiraiya if he attempted use it on him.
itachi attempted to murder kurenai asuma and kakashi, in cold blood, beat sasuke ot near death and tortureed him to mental breaking point, which could have ended in sasuke being in a permanent coma, tried to let kisame cut narutos legs off and left kakashi in a possibly permanent coma. all of which would end in disaster if orochimaru made another move on sasuke.

that was the worst failure in the history of narutoverse. by wasting his time on weak opponents (kabuto and the eodos) he allowed juubi to return and kill thousands. and if itachi had his way, sasuke would currently be a brainwashed slave obeying danzo's every will. which might include letting juubi out.
