dude never in the manga it says Itachi was stronger than Madara....even during the battle Itachi acknowledge that by getting Sasuke eye he will then surpass teh great Madara..so therfore he was weaker than madara...but prevented madara from furthering is ambition....so itachi was at best close to the level of madara but not stronger..
i never said that itachi was STRONGER than madara i said he can beat the hell out of madara as you can see that both of them have respect with one another coz they both recognized their limits and powers... as you can see when itachi killed all the uchihas madara did nothing about it (madara was their leader in the first place) and also, remember that madara was so afraid of itachi's amaterasu? right... itachi has a lot on his sleeves whereas madara is more of less defensive type user, yes one can theorizes that he is conserving his chakra but dang for a super villian to only use time-space jutsu is really lame...
Off topic - Guys, have you gone through the "yondaime hokage thread". It awesome and looks real. You wouldn't regret, go see for yourself.
i would have loved it but when i saw that the kyuubi was attacking the temple and kushina was giving birth to naruto.. it jst didnt coincide to the official 499 manga....but it really was awesome to see minato as the hokage doing the paper works.. hahaha.. and the way he's so damn freaked out with kushina... priceless! so sad twas only 3 chaps tho, wished the fan who made that (im obviously thinkin its not kishi's) should have finished till minato sealed the kyuubi in naruto..
So basically Edo Tensei brings them back at full power? Yeah, I would buy that. It makes more sense then him having that much trouble taking on two Hokages that are underpowered.
I dont really think that edo tensei is that much powerful if the user dont have the chakra to support that much powerful summons... just like when you do puppets on string, if ur not that much good with it it would suck to look at... that is probably why orochimaru dint have all control of his summons coz chakrawise the 1st and the 2nd would use up more than orochimaru have... just a guess though...
CONFIRMED
Kushina is Konoha?s first successful experimental host project.
Konoha decided to use the 1st Hokage?s genes and implant them into children in the hopes that it would yield fascinating results.
One of the head scientists behind the project was none other than Orochimaru.
KONOHA iS A BIG UCKING EVIL PLACE.... SASUKE aND madara right KILL konohas.. people... and senju.... NAruto home is evil place..... Konoha tell orochimaru fo experiment.... So naruto now have a 1st genes... now really is a god.....
where is the link for this? yeah, everyone in konoha before was evil coz of greed and power... even tsunade apologized to pain on that matter... but i do think that it was under-the-table though for we all know that orochimaru was with danzou and we all know that danzou was outcasted coz of his harsh ways of dealing with almost everything...cept that one where he was voted as the hokage for we all know twas coz of the body transfer jutsu that did it...right?
