Itachi didn't defeat Nagato alone.

[Alkaiser]

Another fanboy who failed to realize that Edo Tensei actually regenerated Nagato 2 times before he used CT, so Nagato was actually defeated 2 times already, however, Ultimate Nagato with Edo Jutsu regeneration is stronger, so Nagato was even boosted to a higher level than he was able to reach, yet Itachi 1 shots him.

Itachi is the most underrated character in the serie, people fail to comprehend how insane Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror are.

Ya itachis totally underrated right up there with madara, tobi, sasuke and naruto

1st of all Nagato was CONTROLLED BY KABUTO, and was aiming first at Bee and Naruto..... WHICH WERE TOTALLY ABOUT TO GET DESTROYED..... Itachi was not included on Kabuto's plans so he didn't worried about him.
KABUTO TOTALLY IGNORED ITACHI'S EXISTANCE IN THE BATTLEFIELD

2nd While Naruto and Bee were on the borderline of life and dead, all the nagato summon's eyes and nagato were concetrated on bee and Naruto, Itachi took that advantage of the distraction and blinded Nagato's summons
ONCE AGAIN KABUTO TOTALLY IGNORED ITACHI, AND GAVE THEIR TEAM THE SIGHT ADVANTAGE.

3rd if Itachi wanted, then why he didn't use his almighty amount of genjutsu? So as ShinobiX says, I ONLY STATE WHAT IS IN THE MANGA, so there are two choices:
KISHI DIDN'T WANTED TO INCLUDE GENJUTSU (which seems ridiculous in my opinion) or
Nagato full powered eyes were resistant to visual genjutsu (which is a theory and might be mistaken)

4th If Itachi could use totsuka before Nagato used Chibaku Tensei, then why he didn't do it?

5th Itachi can throw many Yasaka Magatama to destroy the sphere??

Itachi said "LET'S ALL HIT IT AT ONCE" Saying that it would take the combined power shooted and impacting together.
There is a difference between:
the impact of a normal gun (30 shots) and a bazzoka (1shot)
goku making 10 kame-hame-ha's and a Spirit Bomb (1 shot)

The point is that, the combined amount of power was able to destroy chibaku tensei, not their attacks separated...... If you don't believe me? Then see how Kyuubi 6 tailed shooted LIKE 30+ BLASTS AT CHIBAKU TENSEI AND IT DIDN'T EVEN CRACK.

6th Nagato could fly in the same way Deva Path could, Nagato was not immobile, So he could have dodged the totsuka blade, but the dust was the distraction here.
ITACHI TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS DISTRACTION and no idea why kishi didn't put Nagato to fly around. anyways.

during the pre-fight Itachi amaterasued Nagato, but Nagato himself didn't wanted to fight, It was not until KABUTO TOOK CONTROL OF NAGATO that Nagato used shinra tensei to get rid of amaterasu. He could have done it earlier to don't get consumed. The same happened at the end when Nagato regained his senses, he most likely let himself get sealed, since totsuka is a spirit blade materialized through chakra, and could have been absorbed.

Itachi was simply an oportunist during the whole fight:
1st when he saw Nagato and summons focused on Bee and Naruto he went ahead and blinded, attacked them.

2nd when they were in way to be doomed via. chibaku tensei, Itachi took advantage of the firepower that was beside him (Naruto and Bee) to destroy chibaku tensei.

3rd while they were covered in the dust, Nagato was distracted and was open for a direct hit.

if you see the manga again, you will notice that Itachi NEVER TOOK HEAD TO HEAD ACTION AGAISN'T NAGATO. HE WAS ONLY A OPORTUNIST AT CERTAIN KEY MOMENTS. EVEN AT THE END HE DIDN'T DIRECTLY ATTACK HIM, BUT CHEAP SHOOTED NAGATO.

IN RESUME: Kabuto lack of attention, Itachi's oportunism and the firepower of bee and naruto is what lead Nagato to his dead.

okay man,iam not a fan boy ,so i will go through every topic,no offense,but your arguments are flawed
your first and second argument are almost the same,yes nagato was aiming for bee and naruto n itachi took the advantage of it and reduced nagato's field of vision,but my simple question is that once nagato focused on itachi,couldnt he summon more of his summons and increase his field of vision again
next you say
nagato is resistant to visual genjutsu but there is no proof,why didnt he use it,coz he ws busy saving bees and naruto's ass,n the moment he got an opportunity,he used the fool proof method to seal nagato away,totsuka sword
he didnt hav the opportunity to use his almighty genjutsu,dont start assuming that he didnt use it coz it didnt affect nagato
third,you said nagato was distracted,oh yeah good idea getting distracted in the middle of a battle ,you say itachi is an opportunist,well if you are a ninja you gotta take up the opportunities when you get them,its nagato's fault he was distracted and didnt summon more to increase his field of vision,or may be he was over confident that they wont escape chibaku tensei,which imo was another mistake on his part
then you again say he could use totsuka before,y didnt he use it,man thats like saying why try your other jutsus first,straight away use your main moves first and finish the fight and oh that would make the manga so much more interesting
i will say it like you then,why didnt he use that attraction technique,suck itachi's soul out and finish him in one go,maybe because he knew itachi would counter it in some way,thats exactly how ridiculous you sound(why didnt he use his genjutsu,maybe because nagato is resistant to genjutsu)

next is your valid point,that itachi did use naruto and bees fire power or they would have been dead,my only argument is that we dont really know that yasaka magatama alone was enough to destroy chibaku tensei or not,which probably isnt but there is a chance that its sufficient,after all its itachi's strongest long range move
he asked for their help to be absolutely sure that chibaku tensei was destroyed,theres a good chance that it aint strong enough but we cant be too sure,after all it took gaara + tsuchikage's defense to stop that attack

then you say he could have flied,well nobody knows how well he flies,we just have seen him float slowly in the air plus he would have been an easier long range target


last you say nagato let himself be sealed but that man is too far fetched a theory to be possible

i just presented my views,if you prove me wrong then i will accept it

I can't believe this thread is still going on.

All there is to know about this is that Kishi showed us a 3vs1 fight.

Nagato couldnt summon more summons because Kabuto immediately made him use CT
Madara's Yasaka Magatama had more Magatama than Itachi's Yasaka Magatama which was why it took Two Kages and these Kages were already low on chakra evidenced by the little sand Gaara used there, we both know he's capable of much more. You wanna compared a sand defense and a golem(which stopped a Yasaka Magatama more powerful than Itachi's) to a Chibaku Tensei?
Nagato's Deva Path flew and u say he's a long range target? What about Tsuchikage? He's a long range target because he flies as well? What long range move will get Nagato that he can't repel or absorb?
I agree on the genjutsu, Nagato isnt resistant. It doesnt really matter, you agreed to Itachi being an opportunist and taking chances of Nagato being distracted by Naruto and Bee which is the entire point of this thread: ITACHI DIDN'T DEFEAT NAGATO ALONE.

He kinda did (for all the reasons stated before)

Jesus! There are three tips of people in this thread. There are those who are arguing that it's green and there are others that say it clearly mellow. And then there are others like my self who are asking what the hell does that have to do with the thread point? The question was why is the sky blue.

Seriously, for all people spamming and hating here. There is no point arguing that Itachi could take Nagato by him self. That is not the thread point. The thread point is that he didn't. And what the manga showed us was a battle with the two Jins + Edo Itachi(under his own control) versus Nagato (under Kabumaru's control).
If you guys want to discuss if Itachi could take Nagato by him self then make a vs thread about that don't argue here that he did because he didn't. This is not an "if" thread.

FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE TO KNOW THAT IT WAS KABUTO USING NAGATO'S BODY

on the first part it was not nagato, it was kabuto, the summons were already there before kabuto took control...... That means it was nagato himself the one that summoned the beast later kabuto took control, then itachi blinded..... No one knows if kabuto realized he had more of the whole bunch of summons Nagato has. And the distraction part Kabuto was interested in Bee and Naruto, he didn't cared about Itachi....... he was hunting those two not Itachi... This may be a valid point of yours, since it was kabuto's fault

For the second part, the VISUAL genjutsu resistance.... READ PROPERLY, i stated IT IS A THEORY AND MIGHT BE MISTAKEN

amm not...... It is never stated that totsuka blade can expand at light speed or something like that...... and DEVA PATH WHILE FLYING WAS FAST ENOUGH TO OUTRUN KYUUBI 6 TAILS...... SO HE IS NO EASY LONG RANGE OBJECT.

NO, he couldn't do bansho tenin and soul absortion, because he would still need to deal with naruto and bee leaving him open for other type of attacks.
