How do you think Itachi got so strong?

[Char Aznable]

Outside of his OP Mangekyou abilities, how do you suppose Itachi amassed so much power to outpace an elite Jonin like Part 1 Kakashi and Kage tier like Part 1 Orochimaru?

 

[Seventh Sama]

Because he's solo king, Itachi.

 

[Amazeballs]

Honestly, plot. The plot required Itachi to be an insurmountable obstacle for Sasuke. However, it also required that the main characters (Naruto, Sasuke) have to work hard and improve at a somewhat limited rate (i.e., Sasuke learns Chidori, then many chapters later gains 3T Sharingan, then hundreds of chapters later gains MS). Itachi was portrayed as an ultimate genius because, as a side character, he needed to appear impossibly strong despite not being the type of character that would be shown training or mastering new techniques.

The result is that, compared to Itachi, the main characters look inept due to making far slower progress... but that's just the nature of Shounen Manga, where power-ups are a critical plot point for main characters and require an arc or so to be invested in obtaining/revealing/testing the new power-up.

 

[ROHAN]

He was the Proginator of all existence that's why. :flakez:

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

Dude is way smarter then shikamaru that is the main reason he is feared his intellect puts him above his enemies

Kabuto is a genius and even admits he should have Ben more careful with itachi and underestimated him

 

[davidou]

Smartness.

Bang. Right here.

 

[Meee]

Cuz he da man bro.

 

[Melanin]

He was born to solo, no explanation needed.

 

[Pukkake Pokayo]

<div class="bbWrapper">He was born into the solo and he became one with it. He then found totsuka &amp; yata as a bonus to make him truly omnipotent.</div>

 

[Zlad]

Intelligence and experience.

 

[HashiraMadara SenjUchiha]

because he tsukoyomid kishimoto

 

[Obito the supreme jin]

Because Kishimoto realized that he was supposed to be the MC of Naruto and that he made a mistake so he granted Itachi with solo king's powers. Its simple as that. His intelligence and battle expertise also gave him an advantage.

He's uchiha. Most of his feats stem from that, and literally every uchiha worth their shit stood well above the ppl you mentioned.

 

[Angelic.]

he bit a lot of people hence the aids

That only seems to be a handful.

Itachi
Hebi Sasuke through Rinnegan Sasuke
Obito

Itachi was a prodigy even among the Uchiha. Him and Shisui.
