He is directly called the strongest & god of shinobi. How come s opinion of Hiruzen & not Hashirama? Calling both opinion just comes off as ignorance trying to make Itachi look good.
If Itachi didn't want to cause a scene, why did he attack the village's most notable shinobi, cause explosions & let them live, which would risk alerting the entire village to their presence?
Its impossible to be invincible when you have a move that are temporary & characters than can easily kill you or make you vulnerable. Its an obvious contradiction by Kishi like many others but a lot of you cling to that & ignore common sense & basic reasoning in order to support Itachi. Either its trolling or lack of intelligence...or both.
Sigh.... the sad thing is you still don't understand lol
As I said the character is too complex for you
Itachi was a double agent. He needed to
1) Convince Kisame he was looking for tailed beast
2) Speak to Hiruzen without raising suspicion.
Invinciblity:
Yata puts Itachi into a state of invincibility much like Izanagi does except Yata is way more effective and with Totsuka much more aggressive.
In his prime Hiruzen was God of shinobi - Part 2 Hashirama was God of Shinobi
They both were God of Shinobi at a particular time. Simple as that
How can you not understand this? Do you need me to provide scans?
