We have all heard the "yata mirror blocks all" and "totsuka blitz" arugments by Itachi fans that supposedly makes him invincible, so what is the so called "Flying Thunder Crow" technique that makes Itachi oh so more powerful than he already is? Apparently the "FTC" is better than the "FTG" in combat. So what is it? Because from what I have seen, it's nothing more than a crow clone feint.
It's not even called flying thunder crow. Its just a clone jutsu, but instead of using a human clone itachi chooses to use a dozen crows instead. This uses less chakra and is a lot harder to counter because of the numbers. I believe its really called crow clone technique.
Basically, when Itachi gets touched/stabbed/attacked by someone, his body bursts into few dozens of crows, which all of them carry a portion of his chakra.

He has few dozens of crows which he can replace with his own physical body, like we see in the 2nd and 3rd pic(FTC in action section)
The crows dont need to gather in order to form Itachi's body, as we can see there are countless crows still around Kabuto while Itachi is blitzing Kabuto with his whole body.
Meaning, he can use this as defense, but he can use this as a technique to blitz the enemy, like we see in the 3rd picture.
Just like FTG can be used to teleport to a tree or other mark away from enemy, for defense, and then the kunai can be thrown behind enemy for blitz.
This is Itachi's own version of FTG. It doesn't give him the abilities of FTG but the effects are the same. It's actually much better for battle then the real thing. To be expected from the Solo King of course.

Reasons why this is better than FTG in 1v1 battles
1. few dozen possible targets to replace(crows) > 1 kunai.
If there one of the crows scattered is nearer to enemy's back, he can pick that one to substitute it and blitz enemy from behind.
If one of the crows is under the enemy, he can pick that one and blitz him from below etc.
There are so many crows around that the enemy will have to watch every single side, even behind him, in order to correctly predict where Itachi is going to blitz from, and it is impossible to do so, even byakugan has a blind spot...
Whereas Minato can only throw so many kunai's around the battle field but he can only blitz enemy with only 1 kunai in the air.
2. The enemy can drop their guard after thinking they actually landed a hit on Itachi.
3. And due to many crows flying about, a perfect Sage got distracted, not because of landing a hit, but simply because the crows disturb the target.
4. Instead of cutting Kabuto's horn, he could've easily slit his throat, but Kabuto was not allowed to be killed, rather just subtly attacked. Therefore, Itachi couldn't slit his throat to kill him, in this category, FTC at the very least can provide openings as useful/deadly as FTG.

FTC is dumb as hell. But, they answered, the question, what is this so called FTC?" that the OP asked. Might wanna read that again, cause they're pretty on topic..

My error, I looked at that wall and thought "Why is he posting another thread inside of this thread?"
Thank you for pointing out that his comment was simply on-topic and monster-sized is allLol

I have honestly never heard of this shit, you see ma boi Mist, this is why I NEVER visit nardo discussion.
1. Kabuto was in a relatively short area when the crows scattered, obviously it's going to be easy to blitz. This isn't that big of a feat in such a short distance.
2. How is the crow shunshin combo as effective as FTG when
A. It is not instantaneous.
B. It cannot cover long range, seeing as the crows still have to reform his body, despite there being much more than needed. In the second scan, by the intensifying black, you can clearly see the crows reforming his body,and how they also gather around the sword confirms it.
My point is how is it effective as minato's FTG when it is not even insantaneous and while it theoretically can cover a large area, it's much slower and ineffective, but yes, it is decent for close range attacks, even though Itachi has much better close range feats.
Like what? I dunno, pulling out full susano'O at massively hypersonic speeds mayb?
