Ok so Itachi was the leader of the leaf's ANBU Black ops when he was 13.
He, with the help of Madara, defeated the entire Uchiha clan.
Itachi kicked (a sannin which jiraiya couldn take so easily) Oro's a55 while doing hardly anything, and almost made Deidara commit suicide. could minato take a sannin at age 13? ??
even madara shitted brix from itachi.
When he fought Sasuke he was almost fully blind, was dieing from disease, and held back out of love for his brother. Even after this he pushed sasuke to the point where he could barley walk.
When he said he would die fighting Jiraiya i think he was just be moddest i mean dont fool yourself.
He graduated from the academy when he was 7 and became Chuunin at the age of 10! He also awakened his sharingan when he was 8 (sasuke did at 13).
Itachi absolutley owned Kakashi, Guy, Kurenei and Asuma at the same time and caused Kakashi to be hospitalised for a number of days.was he trying hard? anser: NO he also didn have any intention to kill them.
Watching the new anime episode today ("sasuke's paw encyclopedia") Itachi defeated a whole army of Ninja cats and Nekomata at such a young age (he looked 13ish) when it took Sasuke Naruto and Sakura to do it.
He even made the Cocky natured Kisame admit that Itachi was his superior and yes, Kisame was strong a strong akatsuki member after all.
Itachi is lighting fast (even sasuke and kakashi's sharingan couldn't keep up with him), has brilliant analytical skills equal to if not then its greater than Shikamaru's and has a wide array of Jutsu. Not to mention the speed he does hand signs is insane!
He is a master of genjutsu and can easily cast it with a mere point of his finger, and can turn him self into crows at will.
Even his Taijutsu was incredible as seen when he beat those 3 uchiha in the flash back and stopped sasuke's chidori with 1 hand.
He even utterly amazed Oro when itachi was a child by purposely triggering a leaf trap and easily avoiding all the carefully placed kunai in one swift movement.
He is also hyped by madara, danzo and kabuto.
itachi is cooler and stronger imo.
