As I said before, Itachi was simply giving Killer Bee and KCM Naruto a lesson in jutsu analysis.
If that was the case,, Itachi wouldve jus told them rather then ask them to use their strongest justsus such as FRS & TBB
He was trying to explain to them how the strongest of jutsus can be countered, that's why he had them do it as well. Fair enough he could have asked for aid because he felt magatamas weren't enough and it was simply a safety caution, but at the end of the day it's all speculation. How could anyone know if it would/wouldn't work alone? It only makes logical sense to play it safely instead of having the jinchurikis get trapped...
Itachi did technically ask for aid,,,,and its not really speculation seeing that itachis strongest YM,, isnt portrayed or has the feats to destroy something as large as CT
Itachi is an edo tensei, he can spam magatama as much as he pleases, hell if it really came down to it he could just slice the core with susano'o because it's not like CT will kill him lol, he is an edo after all. But he still had KCM Naruto and Bee at his side who were living.
Nagato is an edo tensei too,, he can spam his moves as welll,,,regardless of the interval,,, he doesnt only rely on devas power seeing as how he managed to overwhelm and nearly kill KCM Naruto & Bee through Human and Asura alone,,,,
I dont know why ur only using CT as an argument,,, u shud take other considerations as well
Instead of saying i'm a wanker, why don't you make an argument for Nagato? At least i'm making an argument for Itachi instead of saying "lul Itachi s0l0s"
Ur Making an argument,, however ur ignoring everything in Nagatos arsenal and only talking about CT,,, when he has much more,,,and many moves to counter itachis
Best jutsu in Nagato's arsenal was countered, analyzed the rinnegan's vision, took down arguably the best summoning Nagato has which is the hydra-dog, and the bird which gives him mobility. Kabuto even states that there is a reason why he lost, because he lacked mobility which made him prone to Totsuka?
Dont use the Naruto, Bee and Itachi vs Nagato fight,, since there were alot of discrepencies in that fight,,,
A-Nagato didnt want to fight them half of the fight,,
B-Nagato was controlled by Kabuto, who himself admitted that he couldnt use him properly,,,
C-Plot itself was an issue since Kishi needed itachi to change sasukes views,, and naruto and bee to proceed aheead in-order to fight tobi,, and madara
EDIT: I'd like an intelligent debate, I didn't come to this thread to reply to put downs that make me a wanker for the other side because I disagree.
If you prove me wrong then i'll cede my argument and rep. If you've seen me enough on these forums i've done it before. If you go on the Itachi vs Paths of pain thread I said Tsukuyomi could potentially 1 shot Nagato bc of linked vision. Someone replied (without calling me a wanker ^^) showing why Tsukuyomi wouldn't work. Guess what? I said I agreed with him and repped him for it.
Alright,,, then ill state why nagato wins since he counters all of itachis arsenal,,,
-Amaterasu is absorbed effortlessly by preta,, futhermore nagato can sense it as he did in canon and keep the preta barrier up,,
-Susanoos YM,, and susanoo itself is absorbed by preta as well,, as it will then allow nagato to effectively attack itachi,,,
-Itachi also lacks the legged susanoo variants thereby allowing nagato to use BT and possibly finish itachi off with human or chakra rods,,,etc,,, (whilst itachi is getting pulled by BT,, he lacks an efficient way to attack nagato since nagato has shown that he can use multiple paths at a time,, and will simply absorb itachis ninjutsu based MS techniques,,,,
-An ordinary ST from nagato destroyed an entire foresst,,, nagato can use a boss sized ST along with shurado missiles and animal summons,,, as well,,,
-CT is still beating itachi,,, Yasaka lacks the firepower to destroy the CT core,,,, a CT orb wiithout even forming properly tanked a KN6 TBB and still managed to subdue it,, till it went to KN8,,,,
-Itachi wont get the time to disrupt the linked vision seeing as how he cant have appropriate diversions that naruto and bee gave,,
-Itachi would be constantly on the defensive and would struggle to even land a hit since all his MS techniques are mostly ninjutsu orientated which is comfortably absorbed,,,
-as for the totsuka blade,, nagato is a sensor and would know that the attack is coming,, he can use ST to deflecct the blade away,,,
-Since ninjutsu and genjuts are out of the quesiton,, all itachi really has to attack nagato with is taijutsu,, which is also suicide due too human and asura path,, which will always give nagato the advantage due to extra limbs and armor from asura and the danger of getting touched from ningendo,,,,
Nagato wins this mid diff
