Have we really seen Itachi's true potential?

[sharingansennin]

The fact remains that most of the fights Itachi was in, he wasn't trying to kill the other person.

Guys Itachi has Fought:
Orochimaru(Genjutsu Win)
Deidara(Genjutsu Win)
Kakashi(Loyal to Leaf Village, easily could have killed him)
Kurenai(Loyal to Leaf Village)
Sasuke(Didn't want to kill his brother, Obito even said he would have killed him if he was trying)
Jiraya(Loyal to Leaf Village, lied and said he's too dangerous)

 

[SanjiNL]

Yes we have sharingansennin.

 

[kekerot]

no we havent...itachi has a lot more justu which he can use to defeat everyone in narutoverse even s06p....go home fapboy

 

[miromiro]

Indeed we haven't. But it's too late now. He was a true genius.
I always wonder why he called himself a failure.

 

[Touken]

How long has this dude been gone for? Around a year?

Good lord, let him go.

 

[Naijakid]

The fodder is six feet under

 

[ANiMUS]

Doesn't matter. He is dead now so if we haven't seen his true power before we never will.

Lol , no we haven't , that's why Itachi is a BOSS.

 

[Shunsin no Shisui]

Itachi is the most overrated ninja in my opinion. U_U He soloed shinobi who were weak at the time. hmm Well, except maybe Deidara wasn't weak but c'mon he even got soloed by a 3-tomoe Uchiha, Sasuke. :| Uchiha and Raiton users are Deidara's weakness. :eww: Sasuke was the worst opponent Deidara could ever fight. :yeah:

More than anything, Itachi can never do what Madara can and that is to solo an army or several shinobi at once.

 

[Disquiet]

No we haven't.

 

[Hypemaster]

Yes we have, now it's Hiruzen's turn.

 

[Naruto hinata]

come on,he's dead already. Let him go and btw, he died virgin.

 

[Calpal]

No, Itachi had an ability draining, stamina taxing disease that limited his potential.
In Edo Tensei he was only trying to do one thing.

 

[chad062388]

I doubt we saw what all Itachi could really do, would've been awesome to see all the tech's he knew and what all he could pull off.

Sasuke(Didn't want to kill his brother, Obito even said he would have killed him if he was trying)
Jiraya(Loyal to Leaf Village, lied and said he's too dangerous)

Orochimaru, who was dying and had no killing intent. Itachi resisted the soul transfer and Orochimaru left.

Deidara, whom was about 9 years old and didn't know anything about Itachi or the Sharingan, while Itachi knew about Deidara's abilities and boxed him in a small room.

Kakashi, who fought fairly evenly against Itachi but mistakenly believed that his Sharingan would protect him from Tsukiyomi.

Kurenai, not a high-level character but came close to killing Itachi.

Sasuke, whom had a hard time against Deidara and admitted he only beat Orochimaru because he was dying.

Jiraiya, whom Itachi had no reason to lie about. Kisame doubted if Itachi was a match for Jiraiya and wanted to avoid going after Naruto, but Itachi insisted that he's Jiraiya's equal and went after Naruto despite Kisame's hesitations. If Itachi wanted an out, Kisame gave it to him, he didn't take it; there was no reason to lie.

No, Itachi had an ability draining, stamina taxing disease that limited his potential.

It was called MS.

It's a double-edged sword that gave him great power at a price.

 

[Itachi The Solo King]

Itachi is too powerful.

He'll put madara and juubito to shame if he ever reveal his true power

 

[Touken]

come on,he's dead already. Let him go and btw, he died virgin.

He had a girlfriend according to Obito.

 

[Avinash012]

Suanoo and any Susanoo based tech's are Itachi's strongest jutsu/ Attacks on top of that he has Yata & Totsuka

He can't be any stronger than that , infact Itachi's level is toomuch for a MS user...

Itachi born with highest potential among the Uchiha (Even more than Madara)..

Deidara was 9?
Kurenai came close to killing Itachi?

No, Sasuke was born with the highest potential.

Deidara was 9?
Kurenai came close to killing Itachi?

Yes. Deidara was 19 when he died and was Orochimaru's replacement, whom left Akatsuki 10 years ago. 19 - 10 = 9.

Yes, Kurenai put Itachi in the genjutsu and was about to stab him. Unfortunately, instead of just stabbing him in the back or slicing his throat, she moved in front of him and stared into his eyes, which allowed him to reflect the genjutsu onto her.
