Base Itachi
In a battle of minds, Itachi is unlikely to be outsmarted. With Sharingan

that scored a 5 in intelligence, only someone with Shikamaru-level intellect and a Sharingan should be able to outsmart him, and Itachi should intellectually outperform or stalemate most others.The

with Sennin Mode Naruto vs Pain.
In terms of stamina: Itachi, while not diseased, is closer to Taka Sasuke, or perhaps his superior chakra
You must be registered for see links
makes it seem so. When 17, he used some basic ninjutsu and
You must be registered for see links
before splitting his chakra with an exploding

, maintained a mind-control genjutsu on a
You must be registered for see links
, used Tsukuyomi
You must be registered for see links
, and Amaterasu once. He was
You must be registered for see links
at the end of the day, but nowhere near
You must be registered for see links
condition in a time when
You must be registered for see links
could only use 4 raitons in a day. Kisame

he could have kept fighting if he wanted. Nevertheless, without using his three exhausting dōjutsu, his stamina is arguably a non-issue, even when sick.
In the field of genjutsu, Itachi can trick even visual-based geniuses in to
You must be registered for see links
, and even combines throwing
You must be registered for see links
at enemy faces with his paralyzing illusions. If you know to avoid his eyes, he can put ninja under realistic genjutsu with a
You must be registered for see links
for several seconds until you realize it's an illusion. He can
You must be registered for see links
genius genjutsu masters with torture illusions, can
You must be registered for see links
even genjutsu masters' illusions, and can take
You must be registered for see links
of multiple people from range. He can use
You must be registered for see links
to cast Sharingan genjutsu or deliver power.He is said to be able to control the
You must be registered for see links
, which the databook states is the same power Sasuke used to control Manda.
When considering Itachi's ninjutsu, note that if you don’t have special training or powers like being a perfect
You must be registered for see links
, then you need to avoid his eyes and fingers for safety, making Itachi's ninjutsu nearly impossible to anticipate for most. Perhaps when utilizing Karasu
You must be registered for see links
faster than Hebi Sasuke could
You must be registered for see links
, Itachi can overwhelm most individuals with very fast and very
You must be registered for see links
fire releases. On water, he can surround ninja in
You must be registered for see links
including enemy
You must be registered for see links
so quickly that Kakashi, with a 4.5 in speed and a Sharingan, needed his 360° shield to block. Itachi can also throw up
You must be registered for see links
, which he used to block his exploding bunshin. Plus, to evade the exploding bunshin trick, you likely need a dōjutsu to
You must be registered for see links
the internal chakra.
Similarly, when considering Itachi's taijutsu, remember that if you don’t have special training or powers like being a perfect
You must be registered for see links
, then you need to avoid his eyes and fingers for safety, making Itachi's taijutsu nearly impossible to anticipate for most. Itachi is fast enough to blitz
You must be registered for see links
precognition and is
You must be registered for see links
fast that he warned Killer Bee of his movements, with Killer Bee being one of the
You must be registered for see links
characters in the manga. His taijutsu skill is also highly developed with his Sharingan precognition, as he engaged
You must be registered for see links
in taijutsu and then avoided Bee striking him from behind. Itachi's weapon skills are so
You must be registered for see links
that Hebi Sasuke needed to summon weapons
You must be registered for see links
to his hands just to keep up, and Itachi even hurt Killer Bee with them. Itachi's hands are fast enough with these shuriken that ninja
You must be registered for see links
top tier reflexes would believe that he's calmly holding shuriken while actually forming jutsu.
Mangekyō Sharingan
While the Mangekyō Sharingan makes all Sharingan genjutsu more powerful, Itachi perfected a special technique to break down an individual's mind in an
You must be registered for see links
. The potency of Tsukuyomi is dependent on the extent of time-manipulation, but Kisame was surprised that Kakashi was still alive, and Zetsu assumed that it made the victim
You must be registered for see links
to move. Naruto said that being hit by Tsukuyomi would finish off even
You must be registered for see links
, someone with incredible
You must be registered for see links
and otherwise genjutsu-immunity. For most, looking at Itachi's eyes is an automatic loss. However:
If you don't look at his eyes, then
You must be registered for see links
to Amaterasu is nearly impossible, because even the Raikage was tipped off by
You must be registered for see links
at Sasuke's eyes. Moreover, the Raikage spent time building
You must be registered for see links
sized chakra for his mega shunshin, which both Karin and C noted, but Itachi can activate Amaterasu mid-sprint while
You must be registered for see links
in a short amount of time. The heat of Itachi's Amaterasu was hot enough to burn extremely fire-resistant flesh:
You must be registered for see links
toad innards and Sasuke's
You must be registered for see links
wing. Naruto also said this technique could potentially end Bee. However, this is not Itachi's ultimate jutsu.
Susano'o is not primarily defensive. The databook first and foremost hypes the perfect
You must be registered for see links
in offense that surpasses Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.The Susano'o possesses a jutsu which

Susano'o attacks from 20+ meters away, and Sasuke hadn't even attained
