well i think..

[Only naruto and nagato]

some guys in favour of pain and some in favours of itachi..that who will win??

when we look nagato vs itachi, killer bee, and naruto..we saw that nagato quickly managed to pull out naruto's soul and killer bee chakra..

if we look at itachi vs killer bee and naruto..naruto will definitely win but i m not sure about killer bee..so if itachi cant beat naruto and nagato in an instant managed to harm naruto and killer bee...so why nagato cant beat itachi..??if u r saying that itachi sealed nagato and remember that 3rd hokage also sealed 1st and 2nd hokage...that does not mean that 1st and 2nd hokage are loosers to 3rd....even we know that hashirama was the invincible shinobi after so6p..then how 3rd hoakge seal hashirama...so in my opinion...if there was not itachi ,naruto and killer bee then none of one of them could beat nagato

In short, we all know Nagato > Itachi. But SPAP (Six paths of Pain - SPAP! ) is either better than OR equal to Itachi.

Pain was stated by Tobi, who knew Itachi's abilities, to be the most powerful in Akatsuki.

Yes, Nagato is more powerful, but Itachi is overall better.

 

[Ryuu..]

Naruto only defeated Pain due to plot no jutsu. That healthy Nagato we saw fight Bee and Naruto (regardless of whether he's edo or not) is potentially the strongest ninja aside from the So6P. What people need to realise is he only loses battles due to plot no jutsu (So that Naruto doesn't die, for example). So there is not a chance Itachi > Nagato and I think it's very unlikely that Itachi > Pain.

tobi knew everything about itachi and still said SpoP was stronger. nagato in his prime trashed naruto and bee and itachi (if itachi decided to fight and not just hang back for half the fight). and then that prime nagato was permanently injured by hanzo so how freaking strong was hanzo? to be the reason why nagato didnt beat them all (no mobility).
