Despite the title this thread is very serious, no troll here,
I'm just going to do a quick analysis on just how fast Uchiha Itachi is....because i'm bored and have nothing better to do
To start off, You should know that Itachi was given a 5 , in speed in the databooks.. Meaning him and Gai are the only individuals in the databook with maxed out speed
But having just a 5 is vague and really doesn't give a good explanation of just how fast this man is..
To put it into perspective..All the 5 shows is he is faster than Sasuke and Kakashi...a good feat since both have been praised in the manga for their speed..But what If I was to say he's much faster than you probably think?
Commence wank!
The first thing I'd like to bring up is this-
Firstly take note of the Distance between Bee/Naruto and Nagato/Itachi
In the next few pages , though Bee and naruto were facing forward and talking to them, you see Itachi clear that distance almost instantly...
Two important things about this... Naruto is A sensor and not just a normal kind, he detected itachi's intent before anyone else..
Killer bee on the other hand, completely didn't see itachi, and only realized once warned..hence the bolded "!?" meant to put emphasis on the situation...
For the 2nd speed feat , Once again take note of the distance between the 2 teams of individuals and once again see Itachi once again shunshin blitz killer bee, someone who HAS fought against v1 raikage a few times
Sasuke and his 4.5 in speed who was stated by tobi and deidara to be fast didn't even come close to doing such things in their fight... If Itachi can easily shunshin behind bee, and didn't tell him he was behind him you can imagine what would have happened...
Noone has done this to killerbee in this manga before, not even Minato...infact, killerbee had no problem fighting Body Flicker and was predicting Minato's movements..
So far the only other individual in the manga that has shown to pull off such effective shunshin burst speeds was Minato ..
Gai has shown a feat similar only once,
And from it, Sasuke realized he was faster than kakashi...
But since what Gai did wasn't nearly the same distance and it was used against 12 year olds, the feat kind of pales in comparison..
But lets continue
Another very impressive speed feat of Itachi's + an additional dodging/senses/reflexes feat, is this scan
Here we see him being attacked from naruto, then dodging bee's attack from behind without turning around
After attacking, Bee and Naruto are in the SAME spot, same position, bee is still facing backwards and in the same manner from his missed attack..
YET
Itachi has made his way across the battlefield and over to nagato in ONLY SECONDS...
He can move incredible distances in the period of time it takes a ninja to even move their arm properly..
Enough of friken solo king, start calling this guy Shunshin King
We have more..
Itachi has shown that he is capable of blitzing Sasuke, a ninja who pretty much mastered 3tomoe at that time, which pretty much gives the person precognition abilities to better see such things..
He's shown that he can Clone feint shunshin blitz a Sennin Mode user (DSM kabuto) Which is a feat for both his speed and Handseal speed..
Even with heightened sensing abilities, he is still unable to properly track itachi's jutsu execution and shunshin
Additional notable feats-
Blitzing defeating those three mature Uchiha members as a teenager before they could even do anything was impressive as they were members of the Police Force...People who Sasuke seemed to hold in hire regard when he said There was no way itachi could solo them all alone..
Clone shunshin blitzing Kurenai, once again a feat displaying his handseal speed and foot speed
Just some more perspective
The character Databook uses godlike as a hyperbole to explain Sasuke's speed.
Conclusion-
If I were to try put Itachi's speed somewhere ...It would be somewhere above V1 raikage, but definitely below v2. Itachi's speed and reflexes make his shunshin INCREDIBLY dangerous..
I do believe Itachi was DEFINITELY taught by shishui...
His entire persona and arsenal, are practically mimics of Shishui's...
-Shishui was known worldwide as Shishui of the BodyFlicker
And as being the best genjtusu user of the Uchiha,,
Two things Itachi pretty much excel in....Shishui was older than Itachi and it was stated itachi saw him as an elder brother..
Without a doubt shishui and him trained together
It really impels the question on just how fast Shishui of the Bodyflicker was, or how he utilized it.. to be known for it worldwide... A moniker on the level of the late Yellow Flash..must have been a sight to behold
I'm just going to do a quick analysis on just how fast Uchiha Itachi is....because i'm bored and have nothing better to do
