Well its not really good proof on how fast Itachi is since we don't know how far it is, the panels you provided just shows that Itachi showed up somewhere (whether it is close or not) before kid Sasuke.

I'm actually a Itachi fan xD

His fight with Kirābī is better proof if you wanna prove how fast he is.

Kid or not the feat is still noteworthy. And as I state in the OP these are nothing to brag about..
Once again, shunshin has nothing to do with the speed category of databook. It's categorised as "ninjutsu". The "speed" category represents "reflexive speed". Itachi's shunshin feats pales in comparison to most since he barely even has shunshin feats

I honestly don't see the point of you're post tbh. But thanks for the history lesson on shunshin.
It does because you compared Itachi's speed to the roadway to Sasuke's, which shouldn't even be close as Sasuke wasn't even in the academy at that point. That said Itachi does have speed, even sick he was faster than Kisame and a lot of others.

..

You guys are nit picking the situation. Sasuke simply served as the factor to show case Itachi's speed during that moment. Him being kid does not lessen it. And I even say how these feats are nothing to brag out.

The point is to show you that Itachi isn't as good with shunshin as you believe he is

Is anyone else wondering why Bruce is watching us...?

OT: I'd say these feats are lack luster. Itachi surely has gotten quicker since then, and there are better. But it's still good to pull out some ol' part 1 feats and show 'em off!

Simple. He has practically no shunshin feats in this manga, unless you want to show me the usual off-panels ones. Neither does he have hype on the matter like others like Sasuke, A, Minato, Shisui, Bee and so on

Pretty sure he feint clone shunshin blitzed dsm kabuto.

I mean do you think Itachi is not capable of pulling off basic high speed forms of shunshin? when even sakura during the chuunin exams was capable of pulling off a low level body flicker[ ]

I can give you some of Itachis shunshin feats but knowing you, you would dismiss them.

You said it yourself. He used a clone as a diversion to take advantage of this to surprise Kabuto with a following attack. There was no shunshin involved here

I never said he couldn't. I said he wasn't that particularly good at it, at least by feats or hype compared to others

That wasn't a body flicker since she just ran towards her

She added chakra to her feet which is basically body flicker.

If you say so boss. I mean the fact that the Db describes sasukes speed as god like yet kishi gives itachi a 5 in speed in the databook? I honestly dont know how you came to the conclusion that he isnt particularly good at it when the manga disagrees with you.

Sasuke's speed was never described as godlike. Only his shunshin was which is ninjutsu, having nothing to do with the speed category which represent reflexive speed

Sigh you know what I was referring to. Still doesn't change the fact that kishi himself is aware of sasukes god like shunshin yet still gave Itachi a higher number in speed. Shunshin being categorized as ninjutsu doesnt change the fact that it is used as a form of speed.

Itachi's Foot Speed is above Sasuke's and on par with War Arc Kakashi! But there are obvious people above him :cool:

Sigh once again, shunshin has nothing to do with speed. It's a ninjutsu art. Sasuke has greater feats and hype than Itachi in terms of shunshin, but Itachi simply has better reflexes according to the latest databook. It's as simple as that. Once again, shunshin has nothing to do with reflexive speed. A can have greater shunshin than B, but still slower in terms of reflexive speed than B

I disagree, Itachi kicked Kurenai her out into the water and immediately ended up right next to her. That is a pretty good display of it am I right?

DB referred to it as speed.. Smh I know shunshin doesnt have anything to do with normal base speed but its still used for speed!

I already discussed concerning this pic with Prince Charles. It's for that reason he didn't even try to show it again. I already proved him wrong

Uhm, the distance wasn't as large as you make it seems far from it actually. Look again. Kurenai was just breaking the genjutsu and Itachi . It's actually even impressive that Kurenai who was just immobilise a second before still managed to protect herself against Itachi's kick. She didn't go that far as well after said kick. If you look closely you'll notice that the distance between wheree she lands and the bridge isn't that great( ). Also, because of the kick, there was a recover time on Kurenai's part. The time to recover and be on her feet again, Itachi had more than enough time to reach her back since he was the one in the offensive position at that moment. Kisame even warned Asuma for example for not paying attention. In kurenai's case she wasn't because of the recovery time after Itachi's kick. It wasn't as impressive as a speed feat as you think

Prince Charles said:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvz6T_JX8c<---- the aime actually goes in greater detail of the fight. The manga shows the distance of kurenai getting kicked way too small while actually in motion picture the distance seems much more greater. Also in the anime you notice kurenai go back a few more inches due to the force kick, in the manga she gets kicked and stays in the same spot. While i do admit the distance isnt such a large portion its still an impressive feat never the less.

You didnt prove me wrong on jack squat. And if you read the title its for unnoticed speed feats.. Everyone is already aware of this so why would I bring up that feat.
