Lol there are none

But in all seriousness.

(1) Stamina:

Obviously the main, and most brought up, weakenss of Itachi. Due to some mystery illness Itachi had when he was alive, his chakra levels and overall stamina suffered greatly.

Using 2 or 3 High End jutsus can put Itachi near his deathbed. After Amaterasu, Susano'o, and various other smaller techniques, Itachi a walking dead man- his only drive was to die in front of Sasuke.

At best, Itachi has a good 5-10 minutes worth of heavy fighting in him.

(2) Eyesight:

A little know fact about Itachi is that he was nearly blind the entire series. Due to his overuse of the Sharingan over the years, Itachi's eyesight suffered greatly. By the time of mid-part 2, Itachi was seeing blurs.

This might not be an enourmous drawback, considering when his Sharingan is activated his eyesight improves, but if you manage to catch him off guard without Sharingan, you may have the upper hand.

(3) Confidence:

Itachi is so intelligent to the point where he may underestimate an opponent's own intelligence.

Minato, Jiraiya, and Killer Bee are a few who may surprise Itachi, and catch him off guard with their intelligence.

Now, keep in mind that these weaknesses are surely recognized by Itachi, and he can counter act and make up for them.

Itachi has never underestimated anyone
even when they faced an only taijutsu user he warned Kisame to be careful

1.nice thread
2. I don't think his eyesight was that bad until mid part 2 because zetsu said "I knew he was acting strange lately"
3. I doubt itachi would underrate the intelligence of people he knew of such as jiraiya and minato.

He gave bee a heads up in that battle even though bee had it under control because he new nothing about him prior to the confrontation. And then be still got caught in a genjutsu.

The 3rd one is a bit far fetched.He has never underestimated his opponents, he never mocks his opponents like Kakashi did to Zabuza in part 1.

I've never seen Itachi ever be over confident.

I agree with the first two, but I'm not so sure about the whole confidence topic. Itachi was a very humble man and he didn't let his intelligence get the better of him. I'm not saying that the Itachi could never be surprised by anything (Kakashi has shocked Itachi a couple of times).

He never underestimated Jiraya? Thats why he lured him away from Naruto, cause he thought he would've gotten killed.

His main weakness is him staring in a mirror. His own looks makes him go into a tsukiyomi

I was kind of fishing for a 3rd weakness to be honest.

I couldn't think of any others.

Sure you can say stamina and blame his mangekyo but the confidence shit dosent sit well with itachi and i dont if his disease is part of the stamina problem but you can say that too i guess

nice points, but I have already disputed them and refuted them in the past..

since I am an avid Itachi Uchiha studier. He doesn't have Low Stamina as he has proven when he needs to battle for long times like in the Sasuke fight he went for long time.

also Itachi eye problem... well he cast Amateratsu countless times in that fight with Sasuke...
and I mean he used Amateratsu for a pretty long time..

He also used Tsukuyomi for a really long time..

Whenever Itachi underestimated an opponent, he still won so there , take that . HA

It was kinda stated that itachi barely tried to fight back or actually fighting.

His weakness are

1 Sasuke
2 Sasuke
3 Sasuke

Not trolling. Yes Itachi would beat the living hell out of sasuke no debating but his weakness is his love for sasuke. He pretty much said Idc if you destroy the village I will still love you. And we all know itachi loves the village so damn much
