Oro owns little Itachi

[blazekev90]

While it's not a bad thread in any way I will say one thing. At the time that Kyuubi attacked,Orochimaru was already being considered for Hokage so was clearly very strong.
The experiments were mostly him looking into his immortality techniques,not so much about battle strength.

But still good points.

I personally feel that Orochimaru was very strong indeed and certainly among the strongest,but Itachi was and always will be a massive mismatch for Orochimaru. It's not about being stronger or anything so simple but rather about being the right guy for the fight.

This post explained everything of the situation, I agree 100%

Real reason why Orochimaru left Akatsuki:

This is fail. Sorry dude, you haven't backed up your stuff very well and your points aren't thought through properly.

example... You talked about Oro being one shotted by totsuka blade or whatever. A better defence to this would simply be, he can't be killed by blades since he can split into two and so on... Therefore why would he even try to avoid a blade when he can look much cool and take it :shrug: ON TOP OF THAT he had no idea he had totsuka blade so that was just a huge suprise to him, it wasn't that he was too slow to dodge or anything.

Hope this makes sense... haha xD

This myth has been stated numerously, each time taken out of the Manga's context. Yes Itachi is defintely stronger than Orochimaru, but 13 year old Itachi isn't "a billion times stronger" than current prime Orochimaru's strength and this can be proven in 2 ways:

1: Chronology of Orochimaru - When Orochimaru fought Itachi, Itachi was 13, 4 years after the Kyuubi attack on Konoha. Now, Orochimaru began conducting his jutsu experiments right after the Konoha incident, so his endeavor to attain power through jutsus was only at it's base, meaning it just started. So, if the Kyuubi attacked Konoha 16 years ago,and he fought Itachi 4 years later, then that means he still lacked 12 years of jutsu training and experimentation. Not to mention after joining the Akatsuki his experiments were put to a hault until after he left the Akatsuki. Not to mention that not too long after leaving the Akatsuki, Kabuto joins, advancing their jutsu experiments much further than before.

2: Orochimaru wasn't trying to fight Itachi, he was only aiming to steal the sharingan, if it were a fight then Orochimaru wouldn't have been one shotted. Orochimaru was going for the body, NOT the kill.



Also, even now Orochimaru isn't as inferior to Itachi as people think he is. Yes Itachi is stronger, but come on, if Nagato got one shotted by Itachi by the Totsuka blade, then what's so embarrassing about Orohimaru receiving the same outcome? After all, the fact that Orochimaru forced Itachi to use such a legendary weapon is impressive.

Totsuka blade was only used twice in Naruto history, twice, and both times Itachi's opponents were one shotted swiftly. Besides the sage and a few other ninjas, who wouldn't get one shotted by totsuka blade?

Answer that before calling Orochimaru Itachi's rookie and number one weakling

when oro fought itachi , itachi was 11, twas stated twice in the manga
