Have you ever seen Nagato absorbing Amaterasu? Why didn't he absorb Amaterasu? It's just the same thing. Itachi can catch Nagato in an illusion without eye contact. Also Itachi can catch Nagatos summon in a Genjutsu. Nagato, who will look through his summon with his own closed eyes, will see the illusion Itachi cast on the summon. It's an option.
And yes, he put another person under a Genjutsushiled. but how can he use a shield on himself? In fact Jiraiya caught three Pains in an illusion, also Itachi could do it.
Besides, the Rinnegan (Tendo) isn't stronger in Taijutsu than the Byakugan, since the Shinra Tensei isn't a Taijutsumove.
lol what a bunch of bullcrap; we dont know if rinnegan has any immunities against visual genjutsu, dont hype itachi... U_Ulet's talk Reasonably ! Nagato has No immunity ! just NO immunity against Tsukuyomi or any others of itachi's Genjutsu in general ! against Itachi ; Only few may have A chance IF itachi didn't use Tsukuyomi ; but Only One can break the Tsukuyomi : sasuke
Nagato is One of those few : Nagato can Win Only If itachi Didn't use Genjutsus including Tsukuyomi or susanoo ; wich is hard to believe ; Itachi is a genjutsu Specialist ! and a sealing master with totsuka no tsurugi! (it was prooven in their edo battle there was nothing Nagato could do !! ) (Rinnegan don't give immunity against Visual Genjutsu)
When Itachi fought Nagato, the result was Nagato regenerating the entire time while struggling to execute his techniques. Itachi removed both of Nagato's arms before sealing him (while saving his friends) and wasn't so much as scratched. It is funny seeing smug Nagato fans after that fiasco.
Itachi is better than Nagato...don't compare them.
Cause kabuto wasn't paying attention to itachi its even stated he was suprised when he got amaterasu. don't hype itachi. if nagato had control of himself and was facing only itachi itachi wouldn't win anyone with a brain knows that were not smug we actually provide facts unlike you brainless itachi fans
I do not nitpick details with impolite individuals. Suffice it to say that I maintain my opinion that the superior combatant is the individual that isn't overwhelmingly arrogant with a god complex, that didn't lose both of his arms while fighting, that wasn't paneled by the Totsuka blade, that didn't apologize after being impaled, that didn't continue onward to fight more important villains, etc, etc...
lol you think itachi was oh so great because he saved naruto and bee and was able to damage an edo tensei. but what you failed to realize is he got plenty of time in the background carefully planning on how to save them and if you read manga carefully you'll see that edos or kabuto himself never really mind if his puppets are receiving damages because HE KNOWS they'll just regenate and no need for an effort to dodge. so those damages is irrelevant, if nagato's in control and he knows he wont be able to regenerate of course he will avoid getting damaged.. well even if in case he got a fatal wound he would be able to repair himself via hell realm.
