Very good thread! But to be fair, I don't think it's easy for people to realize someone has the potential to surpass a mountain slashing ninja. So I cut Itachi a little slack there.

Itachi was to caught up in showing off to his fandom that he didn't notice Sasuke
And by Fandom I mean everyone

but then Itachi's potential was unknown by Sasuke too, they probably both underestimated each other

Good points.

But i would not regard Itachi's attitude as underestimating; he is more like the older brother who have surprised how much his younger brother developed in terms of skillset. A similar vein how parents see their kids grown up; they do not underestimate their children; but they get astonished when they see them growing up and getting better. Itachi's attitude consisted of more like concern of the older and close relative.

Itachi can beat Sasuke.

Yata blocks the arrows and Amaterasu. It has no physical form, therefore it can be strapped around the Susano'o.

Genjutsu is not a factor here.

Totsuka seals the Susano'o.

Amaterasu on Sasuke. Since the Amaterasu is from Itachi, he can't extinguish them. He has no Rebirth technique since Orochimaru is stripped from him.

Kirin is tanked by Susano'o. Katon won't help either against Itachi's Katon or Suiton.

Raiton is not a factor here. Suiton disables it.

Itachi can beat Sasuke.

Itachi always > Sasuke in every aspect....


Itachi as a kid > Sasuke as a Kid
Itachi as an acdmy student > Sasuke as an admy student
Itachi with no Sharingan > Sasuke with no sharingan
Itachi with 3 tom > Sasuke with 3 tom
Itachi with MS >> Sasuke with MS
Itachi with EMS >> Sasuke with EMS
Itachi with CM >Sasuke with CM

Sasuke has the same potential as Madara on the other hand Itachi has even more potential than Madara

OT : Yes but only a little bit
3 tomoe sasuke shits on 3 tomoe itachi

Itachi knew Sasuke would implant his eyes to gain the "true power" with EMS [ ]

Yet he thought 1/22 of KCM Naruto that he fought(or saw fighting)would defeat him [ ]

Re-reading the scan you posted indicates that you twisted Itachi's words to a point where it suits your thread. " You called Sasuke your brother, Naruto. This is why I felt that only you could stop Sasuke if the time ever came. - Uchiha Itachi

Not only does this quote have no indication that Itachi was referring to the two engaging in a fight, the relationship that Naruto and Sauce share is described by Itachi as being Brotherly, heavily implying that he wanted him to negotiate with Sasuke in a non violent manner. Why would he want Naruto to deal with with Sasuke? Because like a brother he would understand him better than almost anyone, much like his real brother.

This point is not only incorrect it really has no relevance to your thread title and including this point it has made me read the rest of the thread with a negative filter.

He was even surprised Sasuke unlocked Susanoo [ ]

The only accurate point in your post, but with little relevance.

Like he was surprisedImpressed Sasuke survived Izanagi [ ]

Credit for using the most accurate translation, however you should also use the correct connotations if your going to try and create a thread of decent quality.

Itachi Praising Sasuke for surviving Izangi is does not count as under-estimating him, just that it was Impressive that he survived it. For this to point to supportive of the thread title He would have Said It's surprising that you survived that -Not Uchiha Itachi

And lately Sasuke grew even stronger and stronger developing even more stages, beyond everything Itachi could imagine

You couldn't find a scan to support this statement could you?

(if he didn't even expect him to beat 1/22 of KCM Naruto or unlock Susanoo :erm: )

Which he didn't.
So it seems that since day one, Sasuke's true potential was unknown by Itachi, a potential comparable to that of Madara himself by Tobirama [ ] Only Orochimaru knew his true potential since day one, a potential surpassing Itachi's [ ], and with experiments realised it would surpass even Madara's [ ]

And to conlude a below average thread with below average substance is a testament to what the O.P really is:
A below average manga reader.

Mostly when it comes to Itachi and the Uchihas anyway. Stick to Minato threads.

Partial Acknowledgement.. Itachi, despite his messiah-like presence, was prone to mistakes, in contempt of his divinity. One was Sasuke's potential as a shinobi. Orochimaru recognized his potential; as did Obito Uchiha [ ][ ].

Perpetually, Illustrious Bogard.

Feats >>> Hype...
Itachi "feats", whatever those are, sure didn't impress Obito and Orochimaru.

Potential...?

Learn the dif B/W Potential & free powerups
Learn to construct a proper argument, instead of this non-sense.

Iam sayng this based on Sasuke's own feelings towords Itachi
That would be "hype", not "feats", Mr. Albert Einstein, and Itachi already said not to call him perfect, because he was far from it.

Even thire own parents knw that Itachi > Sasuke
Even Itachi knew Sasuke could have saved the Uchiha clan, while he failed.
