Genin Itachi vs Team 7 - does Itachi spank them?

[Azarath Metrion Zinthos]

I encountered this while browsing on the "Itachi vs. Mitsuki" search and thought it was pretty solid.

Yes, In my opinion he could take down Boruto, and Sarada easily. The only real threat is Mistuki alone. He’s most likely the only character for now that is the strongest of their generation, considering all stats which are intelligence,speed,versatily,power etc. Ok back to Itachi , remember that time with Itachi hiden if it was actually canon or not Im not pretty sure of it though but remember that Itachi just defeated hands down single handedly the Female Anbu which was considered the top of their generation and considered one of the elites? Yes with just his sharingan and a sword alone. Boruto is like his father in the earlier series which is the tank type but kid Itachi could easily sweep him off the floor. Regarding Sarada, hes already pretty familiar with shuriken techniques so its not nothing new to him.

But what do you guys think, would Itachi wipe the floors with Team 7 or stops at Mitsuki?

Scenario 1: He fights them 1 by 1 like in most instances Boruto can't stop himself from flaunting his bravado, disrupting Team 7's synergy.

Scenario 2: Boruto cooperates and Team 7 works together to beat down Itachi.

He low diffs Boruto, Sarada is a problem because of her analytical skills and ability but she'll fall shortly after Boruto. Mitsuki's the only real threat to him and may out do him and win. Having said that Itachi himself is a master in combat and using wired strings with kunia he may jutsu tie up Mitsuki and slit his throat if he's in the mood to kill him that is.

Scenario 1 Boruto gets no diffed, Sarada mid diffed she still has raiton she can use as a defence if necessary. And Itachi either stops at Mitsuki or beats him high difficulty (via genjutsu and tiring him up with strings).

Scenario 2. Boruto gets low diffed Sarada and Mitsuki scrape the win mid to high difficulty.

why did you have to use the word spank? facepalm

There is no nice scale of how fast or how powerful he was at that time. In scenario one, he could pull it off from the hype that beat the strongest member of the ANBU at such a young age(hes younger than shisui by 3.5 years or so). Scenario 2 is tricky. Sage mode mitsuki is a force to reckon. Sarada also has genjutsu prowess trapping jounins. Itachi doesnt have a feat which puts him in that level. He hasnt showed a genjutsu at that time I think. So if we dont take his adult feats into consideration, he'll have a very hard time but even then, he's not losing blatantly. His shuriken skills were capable of hitting blindspots of things without any blindspots like Shared vision which is 360° unlike byakugan. Mitsuki in sage mode will fail to see it coming and suffer injury. Shisui was called "Shisui of body flicker" because of his speed in shunshin and was the best at it in leaf village. Which means his shunshin is faster than Minato himself. I dont think this part was canon but Shisui said to itachi after a fight "Now we're even" which means in the 100% fights they fought, itachi beat him 50% times in taijutsu as it was a taijutsu fight. So probably itachi was equal in speed to shisui at that age so faster than Minato's shunshin and there's no speed feat from boruto or the new generation kids to say they can match higher than minato shunshin speed and combine that with itachi's shuriken skills then he will have a solid chance of winning 65% at most by evading sarada's sharingan or using an equally potent genjutsu(not farfetched, as an adult itachi can control countries altogether) to control her and make her use genjutsu on boruto and mitsuki which both of them cannot break by any means(trapped a jounin) but if by a probable mean, mitsuki breaks it, he will be caught by itachi's genjutsu right after that or a fireball or a shuriken or kunai. 35% solid chance for team anyways. It was also stated in Sasuke's dream that itachi was stronger than Shisui in an adult version which might mean itachi was on par with Shisui in a young version.

Simply, Itachi spanks them more times than not?

Yes. First I thought itachi was at a disadvantage, then I thought up his hype and according to it, yes he stands chances of winning more times than not. Mitsuki is the real threat to him, if he can do something about that, he can win in both scenarios.

 

[FemmeFatale]

How would he deal with Sarada!
Would he really engage his in hand to hand combat, as her reflexes was able to counter attack from a MS user.

Genjutsu battle would be useless.

And Sarada instantly copies his ninjutsu with perfection. So it can go either way, but Sarada is also super strong, Which is the advantage

You've to take speed into consideration. Itachi beat the fastest shunshin user 50% times despite being younger. By hype his genjutsu could trap Sarada possibly.

this felt relevant.

 

[Askeladd]

Boruto alone should be enough to beat Itachi.

 

[InfiniteMugen]

Depends on mitsukis sage mode, how good he is with it, and how long he can maintain it, too many variables if you ask me, especially when he can just get genjutsu’d. I’d say itachi wastes them

 

[Uverdore9]

Boruto alone should be enough to beat Itachi.

Possibly....with the cooperation of SM mitsuki and Sarada.

 

[Uverdore9]

Some people just don't understand itachi's power. You got to remember Naruto was backed up by the entirety of kyuubi's stamina, stamina is necessary to break genjutsu, hence why Senjus were the immediate rivals of uchiha, since thier leader possessed the greatest stamina because of being an asura avatar = uzumaki + senju. Yet Naruto wasn't capable of breaking 30% itachi's genjutsu with the full stamina of Kyuubi. Both sakura and chiyo had to put thier hands on Naruto to break him out, the former who had fought various uchihas in her life and the latter who is considered the most resistant human being to Genjutsu. A child itachi's genjutsu by hype(considered stronger than the best shunshin user in Sasuke's dream) would still wreck havoc. The ignorance of his feat depth is what brings such conclusions.

 

[TrueRage]

Boruto dead / Mitsuki dead / i dont thing he would harm Sarada her being his niece.

Genjutsu is doubtful, Sarada is probably slightly above the Sasuke that countered itachis genjutsu.
As she still has a 4 in it.

Sarada reflexes are pretty fast, just her footspeed isn't as fast. She can probably react to itachi if he engages her in h2h combat and she will over power him.

The shins where keeping up with Sasuke and Naruto, somewhat , and Sarada was able to react to them.

Also Sarada can produce more damage than itachi, her ground punches would keep him on his feet.
Itachi may win but he isn't negging her, not low dif, high dif or draw at best

 

[UCHIHAKUNOICHI]

Itachi just struggled with Anbu members.
New team 7 struggled with Chuunin ranked people. And they aren't even at war.
Compare Genin Itachi with Kid Madara, Hashirama and Tobirama and then we could possibly have a fight at all.

Sasuke didnt break itachi's genjutsu. Itachi was kidding in that fight. Itachi can control the alliance, dude. That in itself proves what itachi did was a mere act. Sarada reacted and it's impressive, but you forgot this speed feat, 90% of community is unaware of,

Look at Naruto's hand position. Itachi reached his first position before naruto moved his hand. Look at the sword which touched the ground but didnt leave a crater, itachi was faster than that force which creates the crater from the first impact. Which means Itachi is faster than Naruto and bee's reaction speed, and in a weaker edo tensei form. Bee has better reaction than base minato. Sarada isn't dodging or overpowering itachi, but she can react probably.

 

[Shogo Makishima]

Boruto alone should be enough to beat Itachi.

Nonsense.


Imo Itachi at that age was more than capable of taking out 3 genins because he was already on the path of becoming Anbu captain. The students use to call him Master Itachi.

 

[Tyris]

Didn't read.

Kishimoto made it clear: He Who Cannot Be Soloed does as he is: Solo

 

[Scryed]

He stops at Mitsuki IMO. Itachi beating Boruto and Sarada makes sense. Mitsuki, on the other hand, was created with several perks and powers already in place.
