Anyone who is not a Jinchuriki, pure blooded Uchiha, or have SM can be easily defeated by Itachi simply by using strong visual Genjutsu. Itachi is always a step ahead of his opponents and in Genjutsu there is no escape. There has to be a reason as to why this guy was feared. I'll tell you why. It's because he is just that good. He is probably the best Genjutsu user in this manga. Simple strength and raw power aren't the only factors to being a great ninja. Itachi's intelligence is way beyond anyone can imagine. He is a great strategist.
Overall, Itachi is not overrated. He just has a lot of haters that refuse to look at feats and the fact that he can beat most characters In this manga.
Depends. Since you weren't here back in 2013, you have no idea. But now, I'll have to agree with you, when Minato fans spout third grade rubbish that Base Minato beats MS Itachi - it really cracks one up.
He's overrated by far,and I don't see why,but some of the shit itachi fans say like.."itachi solo's minato" or "itachi solo's nagato" or itachi > madara or obito or kabuto,these characters who would trash itachi any day of the week at anytime, makes me not only die laughing, but makes seriously believe that they suffer from a mental retardation that surpasses that of a bloodline expansion,waaaaay over 9000.
You're wasting your time. People on this base are already too irate that Itachi went through the entire manga effortlessly defeating everyone he encountered.
That's the problem; the fact that Itachi was so powerful that no one, not even their fave, could put up a respectable fight before being put down. So they try their best to slander his name shouting and screaming "Itachi would lose to this and that guy med diff". The Itachi hate has gotten so bad that people believe Deidara, orochimaru, kakashi, coincidentally all people who itachi effortlessly defeated, would beat him low/mid diff.
Save your breath and let the haters simmer in their anger. The simple fact is, Kishimoto showed itachi throughout the manga effortlessly soloing(defeating without external help, for the dumbasses who don't know the meaning of 'solo' fighting) character after character. That pisses them off the most because they have 0 manga evidence to ever support that their fave can beat itachi let alone push him to mid diff; while itachi has a rap sheet of feats, hype and character speculation that he defeats even some of the most power S-Class ninja with the utmost ease.
People need to get over their flaming butthurt already. Who gets this upset over pen and ink for years? Just wow.
I dont think he's overrated. There is just not enough information about him.. From what I've seen of Itachi is that he doesn't "show off". He has strategies for almost every situations and even has numerous backupsplans depending on the opponent. I would say that he is the most well prepared ninja with the foresight to predict what will happen using his knowledge, analytical skills, environment, and opponant. I would almost compare him to Batman. Works on the shodows, very skilled, Off the charts intelligence, humble, loyal, will do whatever it took for his belief. Like Batman is seen as equals to Superman, Wonderwoman, and the Flash; I see Itachi in the same league with Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama. Had he lived to fight in the war, I believe he would be assisting to defeat Madara directly... My opinion.
I have seen many people put down Itachi, or say he is overrated, but that is not the case. He is in fact underrated and one of the strongest characters in this manga. Itachi is the type of guy, that if you don't have nay Intel on him , then you will soon meet your end. Knowing that this guy can see through Genjutsu instantly,

It's good to say that this guy is a beast with just his basic Sharingan. He didn't even need to use Amateraus on Kakashi to beat him. Simple taijutsu, faster attacks were enough. He doesn't even need to use hand seals to weald ninjutsu.

His quick succession with clones are incredible. Tsukuyomi can only be broken by an Uchiha, so if you are not an Uchiha then you cannot brake Tsukuyomi.

Kakashi was helpless because he wasn't an Uchiha. If you get caught and you are not an Uchiah then it is hopeless. From this, we can gather that Tsukuyomi by itself is a very dangerous jutsu. The only way to avoid this jutsu is to close your eyes or look at your opponents feet, but it is even harder to fight your opponent by just looking at their feet, so you are already at a handicap if you are not an Uchiha. You cannot deny these manga facts.
Itachi doesn't even need Susano'O to be deadly. He is already fast, swift, and flexible, not to mention that he is very smart in situations. He was the one who broke the Edo Tensei, which saved the ninja world. Even Kabuto commented on his secret power and that he was the best Edo Tensei that he summoned.

Itachi is not just some random fodder without his main power being Susano'O. He is still plenty strong without it. Tsukuyomi mindphucked Kakashi negative diff. Amaterasu broke free of Jiraiya's toad beast.
In the databooks, Itachi has almost all 5's in all categories. It is almost breath taking:

Itachi never ment to harm anyone so he never even used his full power, even Kakashi admitted that he didn't even go full out against him and he was already owning Kurenai and Kakashi...
Itachi has the brains, the tools, the techniques and the skills to defeat anyone...
It has been stated many times not to fight an Uchiha in a 1v1 but Itachi is even a Genius amongst his own clan which means he's even more dangerous...
Everyone here just bashes on Itachi because of his low Stamina but he even outlasted Sasuke in his battle (with NO intention to kill him, can you imagine) who is praised to have an OUTSTANDING Stamina reserve even amongst the Uchiha clan... and Itachi is smart enough to know that he doesn't have much Stamina and uses it the way it should be used...
Itachi is the most overrated thing I've ever seen, even more overrated than the Hulk.
People use a series of exaggerations, no-limit fallacies, cherry picking, and blatant lies to make conclusions like Itachi > Hagoromo and pass them on as fact.
And why the F is there actually anyone saying he's underrated? Trolling, or just serious fanboying?
