please explain how itachi burns a pure sphere of gravity?Are we talking about Nagato or Pain?
Nagatos only chance to win is Chibaku Tensei. Imo Itachi can avoid it with Amaterasu. It's easy, he hit the core of CT with Amaterasu and destroy it. Amaterasu arises in Itachis field of vision - Amaterasu is faster than the spheres activation, because it has to fly up to the sky first. If Itachi can see the core (the Sharingan sees Chakra), he can also hit the sphere directly.
In the Manga it was an other situation. He had Bee and Naruto on his side. So why not use the help but destroy it by himself?
During Chibaku Tensei Itachi talked to Naruto and Bee, asked Naruto how he could survive (rhetorical question because Naruto said that it's over if you get hit by this technique, although he has survived), he analyzed Chibaku Tensei and explained the situation and the way to escape from it to Naruto, and Bee and Bee also had the time to make a joke and transform himself into the Hachibi. During this time of explanation and talks Chibaku Tensei has of course grown, so maybe they needed the power of a tailed beast bomb, a Rasenshuriken and Yasaka's Magatama. The Manga has shown us how smart Itachi is in order to recognize the situation quickly. Without Naruto, Itachi could throw his Yasaka's Magatama already in the beginning in direction to the sphere, when it hasn't grown to much. Amaterasu will work too, as I explained. What could Nagato do else?
Shinra Tensei will be blocked by Susanoo. For example, the suction of the big summon Baku wasn't enough to move the incomplete Susanoo from his place, only after Danzo combined his Fuuton with his summons suction, he could damage it. About the other paths I don't have to say much - The absorption wouldn't work because of Susanoos ghostweapons, Totsuka will crush him anyway. Asura-Path isn't worth talking about, Susanoos defense is to strong. Human path is useless against Susanoo as well, the thorax of Susanoo will already be enough to counter every touch. Naraka-Path is also useless. The summons are pretty good but can be defeated by Itachi. Nagato can't use all of his summons at once, he summons always one or two summons. It's easy to crush the summons with Susanoo or kill one, two (like the annoying dog) with Amaterasu. Itachi don't even need the final stage of Susanoo - already the first stage can crush them, like it crushed Danzo and cut of Nagatos Asura-Path arms. Susanoo is pretty huge, comparable to his summons. And let's be honest, his summons aren't resistant at all - One firestyle jutsu killed the bird, like Jiraiyas hair killed another one.
And don't start with Itachis stamina. During his fight with Sasuke, Itachi was able to use several Genjutsus and Katonjutsus, Tsukuyomi, 5 times Amaterasu and 5-10 minutes Susanoo, despite his sickness. In the manga chapter about Nagato, Itachi has used Amaterasu three times, also Susanoo, to save Naruto and Bee, to attack Chibaku Tensei and to seal Nagato away. After Nagato got sealed, Itachi talked to Naruto and Bee during his complete Susanoo stood in the backround. It's not a matter of stamina.
What Itachi can do? He can
Itachi is a smart guy, he would certainly analyze the situation and create a reasonable plan. Intelligence is also an important factor for fight. Itachi is intelligent and has flexible skills, like powerful Ninjutsus AND Genjutsus, also excellent Taijutsu and good use of weapons.
- Finish with him by Tsukuyomi
- Cast several other paralyzing illusions on him which don't even need eye contact
- Can hit him by Amaterasu at any time during an exhausting battle
- Can crush him with Totsukas sword, also seal him away
And all of Itachis Genjutsus will work, why not? Nagato didn't show a resistance against illusions, illusions affect everyone, Nagato isn't the exception. Even if he uses a summon, he will still be affected by the illusion. Pains shared senses idn't help the three Pains to get out of the illusion (and it does not matter what kind of Genjutsu, it's still an illusion. And since Itachi is a very smart guy who analyze the situation, he could take advantage of the summons shared vision by casting an Genjutsu on them, to let Nagato see the illusion Itachi cast on his summon. Don't think that shared vision is the perfect weapon against visual Genjutsus.
and itachi had leads to pull togethor to get the full idea of how CT works , in this battle he doesnt , he doesnt have naruto for info unlike in the fight where nagato overpowered them.
it took a TBB ,rasenshuriken and the susanoo technique to stop the susanoo technique , so itachis susanoo technique may not be enough to stop chibaku tensei , this isnt confirmed but i believe with itachis poor amount of chakra he wont be able to do much more in a fight than what i have already mentioned.
shinra tensei wont be blocked by susanoo for the following reasons:
-susano'os weakness is the ground and shinra tensei goes along the ground and will be able to knock itachi off of his feat
-itachis susanoo wont be able to break off an arm to place the yata mirror infront of the base of his susanoo
if by some chance that susanoo can block it he will be pushed back or knocked over leaving him wide open for a bombardment of missiles
totsuka is itachis only confirmed threat to nagato,if nagato has the 6 paths then it wont be too much of a threat ,itachi uses susanoo as a last trick up his sleeve , so totsuka and yata will only be used at the very end of a battle , if itachi uses susanoo too quickly he will be outplayed and outlasted by nagato , and if itachi doesnt get it out at the start he is doomed , one shinra tensei and itachi may already be dead.
and asura path( the robot one)will be able to hammer susanoo down slowly to the point in which it is easily breakable or to the point in which itachi is forcing himself to fight by pure willpower , his chakra would nearly be gone by then.
yes im going on about itachis stamina , big deal he did about 15 jutsus ,
nagato used aqbout 25 and 5 or so would take up more chakra than itachi has to begin with , he used susanoo for about 2 minutes , not an impressive feat , so susanoo will be almost useless in this battle ,
tsukoyomi has never been proven to work on a rinnegan user
and nagato is also a very smart man , if you ask for his feat;to lead a group of S class shinobi wanted in every nation for several years undetected without giving away any intel etc.
and if three paths get caught in an illusion that doesnt directly affect nagato , nor the other paths , the 6 paths can disrupt the genjutsu , and with the amount of chakra nagato has the only genjutsu he cant break by himself is tsukoyomi ;quee the paths of pain
this can either end
-itachi is outlasted
-itachi is overpowered by nagato
-itachi dies of pain and no chakra left
-itachi by a very slim chance seals nagato
going by this 75% chance nagato wins , atleast
