What you said didn't make sense. Tobi can be "intangible" do you not know what that means?

The problem is that we don't know if this intangibility extends to being able to avoid spiritual weapons. Sure he is physically intangible but we don't know exactly how it works. We've only seen him dodge explosions and direct attacks.

He didn't fear itachi's power he fear itachi know his plan and some key information which might ruin or delay his plan.

I don't think Tobi was afraid of Itachi. If anything he was Cautious of him and felt like Itachi had to be monitored.

The sword of totsuka seals whatever it "pierces" if you cannot pierce Tobi then you cannot seal him. Read the manga.

Tobi does have to fear being sealed by Itachi though. For a man who can regenerate limbs with ease the only thing left to fear is an attack which affects the soul. While we have no evidence that Tobi knew about Itachi's weapons Itachi is still is a force to be avoided if possible.

I agree. S/T can be defeated. Minito figured out how to connect with his attack , and Itach is also very intelligent maybe he could have figured it out.

Konan, even though it was planned gave Tobi a major battle and Itachi as far as intellect is much quicker that her + better techs

I understand what you're saying but I don't think we can say for certain that Tobi's intangibility is absolute. We've seen physical attacks being avoided but the sword in question is stated by Zetsu as "A spirit sword with no real physical form."



Until we actually see what happens when the two meet we can't be sure either way. I just thought it might explain Tobi's reluctance to confront Itachi.

Hell no. What does itachi have that can counter Tobis s/t tech.
I'll answer. Nothing. His ass would be rotting in another dimension like danzos guards.

that's actually wrong.. i know tobi is stronger than itachi. but at the same time itachi knew about tobi's techniques so he wouldnt be dumb enough to let tobi suck him into that dimension. i mean tobi would probably win the fight due to how long he's already survived.. but it would be a really close match.


i'm also pretty sure the only reason tobi didn't attack konoha was because itachi knew too much about tobi.

Keep in mind Itachi knows about Tobi's techs, and Tobi would have to solidify to attack Itachi. Itachi like Minito is one of the greatest stratigist and faster shinobi's in naruto i believe he could figure out the timing of Tobi's s/t and connect.

I dont think he would have to seal him, if he timed the attack and connected with ameterasu Tobi would be done. Also keep in mind he still use of Shusui eye at the time what if he turned that against Tobi?

Tobi did have Izunagi at the time but ounce you use that your eye is gone. He would only be able to cancel out one attack and if ameterasu hit the sword of tetsuka woudnt be far behind.

i think that tobi wanted sasuke because instead of looking for the kyuubi jinchuuriki, he wanted the jinchuuriki to come to him, aka naruto. he's basically using sasuke the same way orochimaru did.

It's amazing how people keep assuming that itachi knew the secrets to Tobis s/t tech. Even if he did it woul change much. You are all fanboys if you think itachi can avoid getting touched by Tobi. Konan figured out Tobis s/t she lost. Danzos guards figured it out. They lost.

Neither one of you are bringing proof to how itachi can stop tobi from teleporting. You just keep saying he's to smart to get touch. Which makes zero sense.

If I was a Fanboy of anyone it would be Naruto & Minito although they both can be beaten. I know it dosn't state anywhere that Itachi knew Tobi's techs but when you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

If Konan figured out Tobi's techs why is it so farfetched to think that Itachi woundn't have? He was around Tobi for a while and it even seemed like Tobi trained him a bit. In that time Itachi being the genius that he was, could have figured out how counter Tobi s/t. Really there is no true proof but I still think it makes a lot of sense. Also keep in mind Minito figured out the tech within a few minutes, again Itachi was around him for years.

We all know Tobi is a master tactitionist, and is very powerful but did he think Itachi would have stoped his plans? Check this out.




He would not attack konoha when Itachi was alive and I dont believe its because they made a pact.

When Tobi says "Itachi is dead...Nothing stands in my way now" leads me to believe he coudnt execute his plan because he knew Itachi was strong/smart enough to stop him.This also makes me think did Tobi think Itachi could stop Nagoto/Pein, because at the time Pein was alive. Coudn't Tobi just have Pein take out Itachi if he got in the way of Tobi & the akutsuki attacking konoha?

Not just that if you already have the power of Nagato/Pein why do you need Sasuke so much?



I wounder if Tobi wants Sasuke body kind of like Oro did??
Anyways was reading old mangas and this made me think.
Would love to hear your opinion!
yaa it looks like that

Why do you resort to derogatory comments like calling others fanboys? We're not saying that Tobi is definitely going to be beaten by Itachi merely that he could have been avoiding a conflict because he knew that Itachi was a threat to him. All it would take is one slip up and he could be in serious trouble.

We know Itachi knew more than most about Tobi so he's not completely oblivious. It's possible he knew about Tobi's space-time techniques but then it's also equally possible he didn't.

He was not scared of Itachi. Just considered him a possible threat to his plans.
