Waiting for that one person to argue that Hidan wins. :lol

 

[NarutoX28]

Itachi still wins ...

Never said otherwise...

Never said otherwise...

I know, I'm waiting for someone like Absolute Zero to wank Hidan.

Hidan would definitely lose here.
Even 3T Kakashi was casually parrying his strikes in close quarters.

Itachi does it easily.
Not to mention

even cutting off his horn with a simple clone feint [

], keep in mind this was the same Kabuto who dodged Sasuke's arrow.

And Hidan basically admitted he was the most clumsy and inaccurate in the Akatsuki with his weapon.Can't even imagine Itachi losing here.

 

[LuckyMan]

Well let's analyze them.

Itachi: Fire Ball Jutsu, Water Dragon Jutsu, Shadow Clone

Hidan: Immortality, Jashin

Hidan tanked Kakuzus nature jutsu with no scratches so we can rule out Itachis Katon and Suiton as being effective at all.

Shadow Clones serve little purpose but a waste of chakra so we can rule those out.

Fight comes down to mostly ninja weapons and taijutsu.

Hidan wins.

Except Hidan has no options if Itachi were to use a clone as a means to restrain Hidan and subsequently decapitate him as the original as illustrated here:

Aside from that, Itachi possesses Fuuton and Suiton that can literally drill into his opponent and given that Shikamaru nearly decapitated Hidan, there's no reason why Itachi wouldn't be able to.

Except we know none of Hidan's attacks are landing on Itachi.

Itachi does it easily.
Not to mention Itachi was keeping up with SM Kabuto,even cutting off his horn with a simple clone feint \, keep in mind this was the same Kabuto who dodged Sasuke's arrow.

Meanwhile, Itachi can easily hit him with explosive tags, and over time enough kunai would probably damage him to some extent.

What NarutoX28 mentioned works as well.
His clone was capable of restraining a partially transformed CS2 Sasuke.

Leaving Hidan open for Itachi to strike a vital point or possibly decapitate him.

Wasn't that part with CS2 Sasuke genjutsu?

that was genjutsu.

 

[KnightofDarkness]

Wasn't that part with CS2 Sasuke genjutsu?

No, because it was a couple pages later when Itachi began the genjutsu.
As you can see, he rushes Sasuke and that was likely the moment he started Tsukuyomi seeing as how the bottom panel emphasizes them making eye contact.

Hidan wins, this comes down to taijutsu/kenjutsu. Hidan won't tire, Itachi will, Hidan needs 1 scratch Itachi needs to dismember.

 

[NarutoX28]

that was genjutsu.

The genjutsu was initiated here:

Even if hidan manages to scratch him, doesn't mean he'll get the chance to pull of the ritual

it was initiated way before that. the fuma shuriken sasuke threw at itachi are nowhere to be seen when the genjutsu ended, meaning it happened in the genjutsu.

 

[Exaar]

Hidan isn't ever hitting him.

a few Exploding clone Feints should do the job

No, because it was a couple pages later when Itachi began the genjutsu.

the bottom of the part with CS2 Sasuke being restrained says 160 indicating the page number in the volume but what you showed says 148 if I go one page later (look at the bottom)

So what you linked (genjutsu initiation) happened before we see Itachi restraining CS2 Sasuke so wouldn't that mean that CS2 Sasuke-Itachi scene was in genjutsu. I aplogize if I'm not getting what you're saying.

 

[NarutoX28]

it was initiated way before that. the fuma shuriken sasuke threw at itachi are nowhere to be seen when the genjutsu ended, meaning it happened in the genjutsu.

Accentuated eye contact is an illustration of instigating sharingan genjutsu and this has always been the case. There's honestly no reason why Kishimoto deviated from it only to using it a few panels later when the genjutsu is actually initiated.

I've heard this reasoning before, but the consistent decisive indicator was absent which leads me to believe that my opinion is correct. However, you did blunder because the scan I presented occurred prior to Sasuke throwing the Fuma Shuriken. Why it wasn't present can easily be deduced as an artistic inconsistency and this isn't the only time where this has happened anyways.

No, we don't know if Hidan won't hit Itachi.

Since when did blocking an attack from someone mean you can keep up with them? If Gai ran up and threw a punch, 99.99% of shinobi will block it. When he throws several and enters into a super taijutsu combo is when he beats the shit out of you and that's when one realizes they can't keep up. Any boxer can block a Mike Tyson punch but it doesn't mean they can keep up with him because right after he goes apeshit and knocks you out before you know it.

I guess Jugo blocking Ay means they can keep up with him.
Or Suigetsu blocking Bee means he can keep up with him.
Or Muu blocking Ay means he can keep up with him.
Or Haku blocking Kakashi means he can keep up with him.
Or Gaara blocking Lee means he can keep up with him.

I can go on and on....

Anyone can block an attack. Your scan of Itachi blocking Kabuto doesn't prove Itachi can keep up with him in CQC. All it proves is Itachi can block a single strike from Kabuto because the above people did the exact same thing against people far faster than them and WE KNOW the above will roast the shit out of the people who blocked them in CQC neg difficulty.

Right, a few paper bombs will hurt the guy who tanks forest busting

with no scratches and already tanked a paper bomb

so itachi better have 100+ paper bombs and stick them all to Hidan body to blow him up at once or this becomes a fight of attrition which Hidan undoubtedly wins.

Kishimoto was sound enough to redraw the standard shuriken they threw during their shuriken shootout, but left the fuma absent. not to mention their position after the genjutsu ended.


Both of them are standing roughly outside the pile of shurikens as seen from multiple angles:

If we were to follow your logic itachi should be right next to the absent fumashuriken

and sasuke should be in the middle of the pile as seen in the scan above and ones below:

But instead their positions mirror each other here when the genjutsu finally ends:

If the sharingan highlight is all youre really going by them by all means look no further:

Spoiler

during the shootout there sharingans were highlighted. Broken itachi is broken. It also explains why sasuke mistook a crow clone for a shadow clone. Since those don't use the same amount of chakra.
