1st of im a BIG itachi fan....
this match-up is great, lets put it up part by part!!!!
Itachi = MS, tsukuyomi, amaterasu, susano'o w/ the shield and the sword
nagato "pain” = Rinnegan, 6 paths, shinra/bansho tensei, chibako tensei, gedomazo and its attack what ever you may call it...
conditions are, both at their prime and full power, both are not dying or sick,..the fallowing techniques that i have put against each other, is the most appropriate scenarios in my opinion..
tsukuyomi vs. 6 paths
tsukuyomi = disrupting your chakra, paralyzing your body putting you into an illusion, causing mental trauma that will render you unable to fight
6 paths = gravity manipulation, summonings, reading minds and reaping your soul if it touches you, absorbs all ninja technique, rocket attack, reanimation,... shared link of vision.
- I think only the paths will be affected not the controller or nagato,.. even so lets say all of them can be affected lets not disregard nagato as the akatsuki leader, he knew itachi’s tech, so to say he has the experience or the knowledge of fighting a genjutsu or a sharingan user..
what if two of the 6 paths fight with their eyes closed or three of them? He would still have 4 or 3 sets of vision, that is linked and those that had their eyes closed attack as front liners, makes sense right? Visualize , see it? Katon is no good cause of the absorbent man, taijutsu is no good to cause of the path that can take your soul, the summoning path may have released summons already or if not how cares itachi is already outnumbered ..
I don’t think genjutsu is pains weakness, jman was never a genjutsu user type of a shinobi, nagato knows this, it was ma and pa toad that uses genjutsu, leaving nagato off guard, and you cant compare the two genjutsus because the genjutsu the toad used was like a nuce where any other that would hear it would be immobilized at the same time, while itachis tsukoyomi is a one target at a time kind of genjutsu. Itachi’s case against nagato is a different story. Itachi is a member of the uchiha clan known for their ocular powers and genjutsu as one of their specialty. So yeah if jman was a trouble for itachi and kisame as itachi said him self after the konoha invasion what more can be said? Bottom line, nagato knows how to fight itachi’s genjutsu.
Amaterasu vs. shinra/ bansho tensei
The inextinguishable flame against shinra tensie’s gravity manipulation and repels all kinds of ninja technique,… is amaterasu a ninja technique? Ok, and don’t say its inextinguishable, yes it is but shinra tensei will only repel it NOT extinguish it…
Now my favorite Susano’o vs. chibako tensei
Susano’o w/ the sword and the shield my favorite technique in naruto world, an armor like cloak with its impenetrable defense and the shield that deflects all kinds of attack and the sword that has no shape, by piercing through the enemy can seal their souls..
Chibako tensei the technique that was said to be used by the SO6P to create the moon using a black sphere of gravity that when thrown, attracts all objects from all direction pulls them into the sphere and compress them together. Leaving the juubi stuck in it..
Can susano’o withstand the gravitational pull of the chibako? As my favorite technique hell yeah it can but for how long ? resisting this kind of force requires massive chakra, adding up the chakra used to make susano’o and amaterasu unless itachi is a jinchuriki he would have that much chakra but his not and it will end up draining his chakra and BOOM gedomazo appears!!!!!
As a fan of itachi I wouldn’t want to say this but itachi will be out matched from experience to technique to chakra level,.. nagato’s only weakness is that he was easily manipulated by madara because of his hate for the grate nations specially konoha,…
