Why do you make a thread claiming Itachi is not #1????
Do people seriously believe / honestly claim he is #1 ?
His biggest fan (and im a fan), never go to such extent without trolling trolls or the base itself for the sake of annoyingness.
Itachi has never been #1 and never will be, he is imo. arround 7th or 8th after the likes of;
Hashirama
Madara
Obito
Naruto
Kabuto
Nagato 50/50
Minato 50/50
Sasuke 50/50
Either way, if its just an attempt to troll / attract Itachi haters or even fan for that matter.... i guess it did.
As for Kabuto.... stronger or not.... all he did in his life is take people's power for his own... i sympathize with him, and like him to some extent, but in no way shape or form even if he is stronger does he beat Itachi's boss level.
All he did was being worthless all these years so that he could collect in the end.
I dont disrespect people who where given or took other people's power for their own but...
Kabuto
Madara
Obito
Naruto
Sasuke
Nagato
have reahced such a high level because they either took Hashirama's cells, were given EMS, or were given a bijuu or a pair of brand new eyes.
At least Minato and Itachi reached boss level without being given such thing.
Minato learned and exploited sealing of the Uzumaki to become as strong as he did.
And Itachi due to his genius, had the potential to awake the Mangekyo, thus giving him the possibility to reach higher heights.
Either way, Kabuto lost in the end because he was foolish and misstook people's power for his own (he counts Edo tensei summons as his power, and of that those came back to finish him (Itachi)).
Kabuto may have a lot of techniques and versatility, but he was still fooled by Itachi's crow clone despite his ''amazing sensoring abilities''... and was saved by the fact that Itachi couldnt afford to cut more than a horn... as he didnt want to kill him.... so this was used for the sake of Izanami instead.
