People like to make up fictitious "solo" statements and bite Itachi's style, but Sasuke can't shine Itachi's shoes in the solo department. Itachi never used anyone's power but his own . Pure talent, skills, and his own Mangekyo skills with absolute 0 handouts unlike Sasuke who has gotten power handouts like candy on Halloween. Orochimaru let him siphon off his Curse Mark and fed him steroids, he copied Lee's speed, took chakra from Naruto and Jugo to pump his Susano'O like a pair of old school Nike's, ganked Itachi's eyes, gets pumped full of Hashirama's cells and literally HANDED jutsu, and Hagoromo is the icing on the cake. Let's look at his record though.
Sasuke vs Rock Lee
- Fodderized in under a minute
Sasuke vs Gaara
- Gaara, not at full power, would have killed Sasuke had it not been for Sakura and Naruto stepping in.
Sasuke vs Naruto Hospital Fight
- Put up a decent fight, but he
Sasuke vs Naruto VoTE
- Had to use Curse Mark level two to stand a chance against a Naruto who wasn't using full power nor fighting with killing intent as he was.
Sasuke vs Orochimaru
- It was a WEAKENED Orochimaru and it still required Sasuke to use Curse Mark power, to which Sasuke admits was the
Sasuke vs New Team 7
- This wasn't even really a fight. Sasuke a standing still Naruto, who was actively
Sasuke vs Deidara
- More Curse Mark power AND would have died without
Sasuke vs Itachi
- Might as well throw this in. More Curse Mark suckling against an Itachi on his deathbed and blind, who threw this fight intentionally.
Sasuke vs Five Kage
- Team Taka piggy backed Sasuke here. Without Suigetsu and Jugo's interference, Ay would have smashed him. Then we have Zetsu's replinishing Sasuke's chakra and stamina, Obito saving him from a Jinton blitz, and Karin giving him directions the entire time.
Sasuke vs Danzo
- He is healed by Karin amidst this fight, Obito's presence was a big factor as it prevented Danzo from going all out and saving his best jutsu, and therefore, is not a solo as he wasn't solo.
Sasuke vs Kakashi
- This also qualifies as nothing more than skirmish, but Kakashi had the upper hand. He Kamui'd Sasuke's quickest attack as well as landing a couple blows like this
Sasuke vs Killer Bee
- Used Karin and Jugo's heals after being merked twice, then required Suigetsu to eat a Bijuu Laser so he and his team wouldn't be vaporized. As well as using Jugo and Suigetsu more to attack Killer Bee in numbers.
Sasuke vs Juubito
- As mentioned, he took chakra from both Jugo and Naruto to
Sasuke vs Madara
- He and Naruto both got freebies from good old Hagoromo as well as playing off each other's abilities. Nothing much else to say
Sasuke vs Kaguya
- See above.
All I'm saying is for the "not their own power" morons to be fair and accept the obvious. Even Sasuke admits it's been Itachi's power flowing through him. I say we put this stupid notion to bed and just let power be power. It all comes from the Shinju anyway, so let's just put it to bed and let it die, yeah?
