Elaborate on how much weaker did i imply the clones would be? There's no possibly they will be weaker without any reasonable doubt. Itachi chakra reserves are poor so him spliting them in half will be far worst then what your trying to put out. YEs he can use a clone with a rib-cage bushin but it'll get washed away just like how he did Sasuke so that isn't helping your argument.
Itachi having low chakra reserves is a good point to make when talking about clones. Sasuke running out of chakra isn't approal on your argument when it simple justifies that CM2 is more taxing on the body than MS techs but none of this still changes the fact that Edo Itachi loses.
You said extremely weak, or is that post above not yours? :lol The rest is an assumption, and the bold is irrelevant as nobody denied that it would nor is it for tanking Kabuto's Suiton. You've admitted that Itachi can use a clone and Susanoo together. That's my main point in replying to you.Susanoo it would be extremely weak due to his low chakra and stamina reserves.
Except Itachi doesn't have low chakra reserves. Not sure where you are getting this nonsense from. CM2 being more taxing than Mangekyo when it had Sasuke on his knees gasping for air more than twice makes zero sense. :lol Itachi had the more taxing arsenal and he was sick and he still outlasted Sasuke in the chakra reserves department. Sasuke was on empty while Itachi was pacing towards him with a fully armored Susanoo, yet somehow Itachi's reserves are low?
:lol
Though good luck arguing for Kabuto when over half his arsenal was countered in canon.
