So sadly Itachi died in his early 20s, but this by his own hand and his own will. If he wanted he could have taken Sasukes eyes neg-diff. And then had EMS.

How powerfull do you think EMS Itachi would have been? In his 20s 30s 40s 50s etc?

I think Itachi made a big mistake trusting his will onto Sasuke, i'd rather have EMS Itachi on the current battlefield then "Mr one-pannel-stabbed-by -his-own-sword-Sasuke"

Think about it, Itachi is responsible for Naruto & Bee being alive, they where being soloed by Nagato before Itachi saved them, and plus, he saved the Gokage, they where about to be soloed by Madara's PS sword. In fact, he saved thousands and thousands of lifes in this war by stopping Kabuto.
He's such a strategic genius, he plans year ahead and is never outsmarted. Probably one of the most all around ninja's in NV.

So how powerfull do you think Itachi would have become if he decided to live?

Well, EMS wouldn't have gotten rid of his sickness, so unfortunately it wouldn't give him that distinct advantage.

But without his sickness AND EMS, oh boy. Top 5 no doubt.

He wanted sasuke to kill him as fast as possible.
If he took sasuke eyes I would live less than a few months

Aside from the ootsutsuki family he would be top 5.

he would have had to be under all juubi jins but above every other shinobi including hashirama because not even the buddha could damage yata since it repels all physical attacks which puts buddha statue in that category...only juubi jins and kaguya would have been more powerful than ems itachi...

He would surpass EMS Madara for sure if he would be still alive.

His potential hasn't been explored besides being placed below Sasuke

even with the sickness the ms strains on his body were great and he was going blind so at least he would have had no pain and clear vision, the illness wasnt what was causing him pain the illness was terminal the ms jutsu was what caused his body tremendous pain so think for the short time he would have lived maybe some months more he would have been only less than juubi jins...yata+totsuka=invincibility

I see hashirama outlasting him still.

Madara
Obito
Hashi
Itachi

Nah, i think Itachi takes both Hashirama and Obito 1v1. His Genjutsu is on another level and with YATA, PS & SOT he would destroy Hashi & Obito.

That can only happen if he can make a Perfect Susanoo

Better than Madara, that's for sure. Though to be honest if he replaced Sasuke right now, I doubt there would be much a change in the way the manga has progressed :cool:

Well, black Zetsu (Madara's will) did say that Itachi was practically invincible w/ Yata and Totsuka. The only thing that was holding him back was his sickness and stamina which caused him to not be able to hold the weapons for extended amounts of time. If he was healthy, he would easily be top 5. He'd be a force to be reckoned with, not that he wasn't already.
