@@lilchris9655 because itachi was actually one of the good guys the whole time. He was undercover for the hidden leaf village for like, over 10 years I think.
@@lasspeng1 itachi didn’t realize this until the war arc. Itachi was planning on using kotoamatsukami to make sasuke want to protect the village. So at this point itachi only really let’s Naruto live to keep the village safe, not for sasuke
Yep he even trolled Sasuke Sasuke: 'Yes..I FINALLY defeated Itachi' Itachi: "Lol nope.I was terminally ill,and I wanted you to kill me from the start. Laters....' [dies]
Itachi was holding back the ENTIRE SERIES. We never ever saw him at full power due to his partial blindness and the sickness he suffered. Could you imagine how badass a fight against full powered Itachi would’ve been??
Respect has little to do with what im about to say but itachi really never thought of kakashi as a threat until he got his mangekyou like having that changes everything
@@ricky6151 Itachi did consider Kakashi a threat even in Part-I, which is why he used Tsukuyomi to take him down or else the fight would have lasted much longer than Itachi had intended.
He can see the kuni because of his sharingan. This reminded me of the battle between Madaras young brother and second Hokage. Madaras young brother could easily see the kuni thrown through the mist.
Lumberjack Agies well actually the totsuka blade is meant for sealing and that shield he has was almost impenetrable. The shield was is help keep alive while the totsuka blade is meant to contain any threat in his way. If he was so motivated by power he would have killed sasuke for his eyes. His motivation in life was never about him. It was solely about his brother and village
when itachi smiled i thought he was just a psychopath the first time watched it but knowing his real mission he's smiling because he's truly happy that naruto can save sasuke
@@MrBunny53 yeah i thinks he was proud that sasuke's friend is getting stronger and he is able to save him , and about that guy at the end , in this fight it was a shadow clone of itachi with 30% power
"Fought them" is kinda stretch, he watched them goof around and just threw couple fireballs like it was a formality. No amaterasu or susanoo or anything like that.
Itachi weaving hand signs is always so good. I really missed that later in the series that kishimoto was no longer drawing that but I can kind of understand that considering how many ninjutsu were used each chapter. Also I love that Itachi actually says Kakashi-san he still has a basic respect towards him.
RNGesus his overuse of mangekyo causes him to lose eyesight, when he was fighting sasuke he was practically blind towards the end, and clones retain every aspect of the original user, if you have a terminal illness the clone also carries around the terminal illness like with itachi
The fact that Itachi summoned a Shadow Clone without them even seeing the seal and just look at how he dodges the kunais and inbetween he cast the seal for Fireball Jutsu, it's insane how the old Naruto series is much more intense. Itachi seemed so relax, like he's not even trying
@@pokemonjhotomaster bro you wrong on both, he was partially blind here hence his face when kakashi asked how bad were his eyes now, plus the creator said it too, and as for edo, it's also stated i the anime and the reference books that edo doesn't bring you back at 100% it's like 85% which is why it's not a perfected jutsu
@@tomlewis3362 Kakashi didn't know he was a clone that couldn't use ms which is why he asked that. Doesn't change the fact that he wasn't half blind. Wrong again only Orochimaru's edos are restored at less than 100%. Kabuto's edos however are which is why he said he was better at the jutsu in the first place.
Love how kakashi knows that the mangekyo makes you blind and asks itachi how much his eyesight has weakened and then itachi is shocked realizing kakashi has to have the mangekyo to know that🤣
When I first watched this as a teenager this part flew over my head. Watching this again years later is satisfying because it made me realize this moment was Itachi's reaction to finding out kakashi had also unlocked mangekyo sharingan.
@@Universe_World yee because Kakashi is not from Uchiha clan and he has mangekyo. no wonder Itachi shock because its imposible for non uchiha blood to having a mangekyo. Speaking the truth it was Obito that triggered Kakashi mangekyo not Kakashi himself
Remember, this will go down in history-Itachi is the ONLY person who has NEVER LOST AGAINST his WILL to ANYONE I wish he could smile a bit wider, it's so heartwarming to see itachi happy despite suffering from dark past, wasted talent, diseases. Apart from naruto and minato, he would have surely made the best option for the child of prophecy
+Ismail Nisar Itachi didnt fight full power and his power has decreased sharply bc of Sickness. If Naruto changed to nine tails form of six tails he couldnt defeat Itachi full tank of Susanoo and Amaterasu. That match was Itachi vs 4
+Ismail Nisar Hes never used that eye of shisui but definitely if Naruto gets caught by Totsuka blade, he will never have the nine tails inside any more, Yata mirror the strongest shield can handle any physical damages or any justu. Mangekyou Sharingan can control the nine tails, Obito did that with one eye
+Ismail Nisar Low amount of tail beasts' chakra means a lot of chakra compared to a shinobi's chakra. Why Naruto didnt use his own chakra to fight Sasuke, Sasuke's Susanoo is much weaker than Itachi's one unless he has Eternal Mangekyou. Imagine if Sasuke had the nine tails inside like Madara did he could use Susanoo for ever
@@izzy-jd7ft ikr! I think Itachi, Kakashi and Shikamaru are the ones who better represent a ninja. Naruto, Sasuke and Madara are overpowered guys who transformed the anime in Dragon Ball
@@ihmaki706 yesss. when I think of the best well rounded ninja it's definitely kakashi. Might not be the most powerful but is super technical with things
Chris D naw he was strong. Kishi just did him dirty. He can access Kuramas chakra, 4 tails cloak(not reliable unless someone can suppress him like Yamato or the paper seal), 1k clones, rasengan and summoning gamabunta. That’s easily kage+ level but idk what kishi was doing with him.
Ksmoke nine tails is part of Narutos arsenal. He was given nine tails to master Kuramas power. Why wouldn’t he use a power that that will never go away if it makes him stronger?
kevin kabeya he used a clone. That jetsue limits ur chakra to 30% Itachi is quite similar to kakashi he has a small chakra reserve still more than kakashi but for a uchiha its quite poor. On this fight Itachi was controlling everything which means he was there maybe not physically but he was there
I remember watching all of Itachi's fights for the first time and always being fooled along with everyone of the leaf shinobi. He's the guy that I had to always go back and keep watching, "what happened, where's the real one, when" every time watching his battles. An incredible character. Can you imagine if Itachi and Shisui fought together. It would have been over.
You would think someone who’s so obsessed with Sasuke would immediately figure out who Itachi was, considering their resemblance and also having the sharingan
Then some people wonder why sakura is called useless😂she didn't even figure out that mist technique was from kakashi who had seen his fight with zabuza and was her teacher but chiyo realized it who is from another village
If Itachi sees you before you see him, you are already under a genjutsu. The battle is lost before it even begins. You can see through the genjutsu? Good chance you'll be put under another one, while dealing with Itachi's genius tactics. He's just too OP. He's like a playable Raid Boss.
Mirciu dsmf um how is he an itachi fanboy lmao ur just a itachi hater. Once any one says anything good about itachi He’s a fanboy stfu u moron it was a 30 percent clone also lmao
Mir Oslav it was a hand genjutsu and not a MS genjutsu. So it was a weak genjutsu. The genjutsu easily broke when Sakura and Lady Chiyo disrupted Naruto's chakra. The only genjutsu that is unbreakable is Tsukuyomi. Even generic sharingan genjutsu are breakable.
Thats funny...it's thinking itachi genjutsu is weak is just the right amount of confidence to be put in a itachi genjutsu lol. Weak genjutsu or not, itachi was a master at surprising you by already being put in a genjutsu.
Itachi uses genjutsu exactly how i would use it if it were real. His genjutsu is mimicking real life before he puts on the "front" of seriously fighting you. The genjutsu thats delicately layered over real life shows you that itachi slipped up. Boom! You go in for the kill/move and BAM youre defeated. Itachi removes the thin layered genjutsu and you find out you damaged, killed, or just made ass out of yourself in the case of naruto.
it was alsp pretty impressive how Kakashi circumvented it. He only beeds to see something once to not fall for it again. He knew he couldnt beat Itachi’s genjutsu from their fight in part one, so instead he sent a clone as a distraction.
I think this is the one and only time Itachi has shown pure shock or any kind of real emotion in battle. He is honestly shocked that Kakashi knows the side effects of using Mangekyou Sharingan.
It does make sense, Itachi realises that Kakashi might’ve unlocked Mangekyo himself. The sharingan in the series is considered very rare. Obviously all Uchias we see are more or less important to the plot, and hence they pretty much all have the sharingan (Obito, Itachi, Sasuke, Madara etc). Most uchias don’t unlock their sharingan at all during their lifetime, let alone the mangekyo. So for us seeing all the Uchias with sharingan or Mangekyo isn’t that big of a deal. But in universe it’s extremlely rare. From Itachis PoV, only he and Toby possesses it. Shisui did get it, but he’s dead at this point. So from Itachi’s PoV, only he, Shisui and Toby (which he believes to be Madara) has it. So the vast majority of Uchias don’t get the regular sharingan in their lifetime, let alone the Mangekyo. So there’s probably little to no information about it. But all of a sudden this non-Uchia knows about it’s drawback. This is the part where Itachi gets suprised, and shocked, believing that perhaps Kakashi do possess the MS, but how? He does not know Toby is Obito, so it makes little sense to him. So all of a sudden, He, Shisui and Madara/Toby, three geniuses within the Uchia are not the only one having MS, but also Kakashi, who is not even Uchia to begin with. It SHOULD be impossible. Itachi probably knew Kakashi had Obitos eyes, but Obito for all Itachi knew is dead. Since Kakashi lack the Uchias DNA, it should impossible for him to unlock it. So not at all weird that Itachi gets shocked. And to be fair, fighting a pair of MS in Naruto is not a good thing. MS abilities are broken as heck, and Itachi has no idea about Kakashis MS ability. Whereas Kakashi do know atleast one of Itachis abilites. That’s one of the reason Kakashi got the upper hand in this fight (granted he had back up, and Itachi was a clone).
the hand signs always get me hyped and itachi smile at the end made me sad :( he smiled because he saw that Naruto is strong enough to save his brother sasuke
I Don't Read Responses Because You're Mostly Trolls Naruto may be stronger but some things are still the same: 1 He’s still an idiot. That’s for sure. 2 He still sucks at genjutsu cuz when he gets caught in one, he can’t release from it. 3 He still sucks at regular clone jutsu. Sad but it’s the truth
No dumbass , his ms is weakened cuz he was half blind . That clone is just 30% of the caster power . And the fact that his eyes are already weakened as he was nearing his death that time and also the very fact that itachi was never there to kill any of them . And how he smiled at the end knowing how naruto have gotten stronger and will save sasuke one day and that also proven in his genjutsu where he was tortured by sasuke memory and the other one when itachi said how far would you go to save my brother who was a rogue ninja that all went according to his plan to make sure naruto would go far save sasuke and also he uses naruto as a place to hide shisui eye as he knew he would use it one day
Imagine itachi, who wasn’t half blind, actually tried in every single fight, tried to get more powerful and trained on the daily like everyone else. He would’ve seriously been unstoppable and he prob would have ended the series in the shonen jump considering not even the third hokage could beat orochimaru, and itachi played with him and ended the fight in seconds.
Imagine Itachi ever actually challenging people who could beat him. Imagine him knowing that he was afraid to challenge such shinobies because he wasn't stupid enough to challenge them. Imagine Itachi fighting a fight without plot device kicking in, like a real fight - a life and death fight.
Itachi was half blind because the mangekyo so that's cheating he did train and get more powerful everyday BUT he did have a sickness and did hold back in some major fights he would've been a beast but peak itachi still gets dicked by Obito... Other than him though yeah he could've been quite troublesome
In my opinion Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exced almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exced almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷🏻♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat(his Taijutsu it's exceptional and underrated) is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷🏻♂️ ☯️
@@JD-ip4fsEven if Itachi is basically a pacifist, that doesn't mean that he can't mobilize and adapt in an unnatural situation, especially if the confrontation is a serious one, he prefers most of the time to finish the fights as quickly as possible, that's why Itachi should never be underestimated. Itachi lived his whole life so that Sasuke could defeat him and become an Uchiha hero as well as a hero of the leaf. That, obviously, didn’t go as planned. However, it did allow Sasuke to grow and begin to start asking the right questions that would eventually lead him to becoming the man he (Itachi) wanted him to be. (Itachi was killed so that Sasuke could grow more powerful both as a character (to us in a real world moral sense) and as a Ninja. Itachi from the get go was extremely talented which more precisly means that Itachi just like Minato was pretty much an unique, authentic and especially unpredictable Shinobi which could exceed or overcome almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto himself) In my opinion No One in the series should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). That is why it is arguable/debatable that he probably could or could not defeat foes like Minato, Obito or Pain/Nagato. Itachi was also a prodigy from birth and he knew all sorts of tricks and he's definitely a troublesome fellow to encounter. In my opinion, they are both very versatile, unique, interesting and especially very unpredictable in their way of fighting style approach. If you make an effort to look or to rewatch at all of Itachi's fights, you might discover that he's pretty much always able to outsmart anyone during a fight or a encounter, because of his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach. His way of thinking and his calmness, intelligence and battle IQ experience factor it's very authentic and underrated, his true potential remain still unknown, because he wasn't go all out against anyone during the series.🤷🏻♂️☯️ I don't understand how some of you guys even dare or can to underestimate Itachi like that, many of you guys forget that Itachi isn't just any ordinary shinobi either, he is still considered by a very wide range of Naruto connoisseurs to be a very unique and unpredictable character at the same time and no one should underestimate him as some of you guys currently do. ;/ ☯️🤷🏻♂️What you have to remember, is that even in his battle with Sasuke, he has been fighting to lose. Itachi has always attempted to avoid conflict at all costs. He has to maintain his cover as an Akatsuki member, so he has to make viable excuses to avoid battle. When he says that fighting Jiraiya would have serious consequences, we know that he has an innate desire not to fight anyone at all, let alone a hero of the leaf, and he was a spy protecting Konoha from shadows. He could have killed Kakashi with ease. Kakashi even states that Itachi could have killed him, and wondered why he didn't. Knowing this, it is easy to see the pieces that point to a picture of Itachi that is devastatingly powerful in combat. In his confrontation with Asuma and Kurenai when he enters Konoha, we see him send Kurenai flying a large distance with a simple kick. We also see him deflect chidori, and snap Sasuke's arm like a twig with a single hand. He also sends Sasuke flying clear down the hallway with another kick in this fight. He is obviously a powerful, versatile, unpredictable and underrated taijutsu user. We know that he can kill with a glance using Tsukuyomi or Amaterasu, and become nearly invincible with his Susanoo. We see him use exploding clones, (it's his one of his unpredictability in his fighting way approach) powerful genjutsu not linked to his sharingan, ( with a single point of a one of his fingers) and making hand seals at insane speeds. He kicks the shit out of Kakashi and he barely moves. Tobi also tells us himself that Itachi could have killed him if it weren't for carefully guarded secrets. Orochimaru beats Tsunade and Jiraiya without the use of his arms. Granted, Jiraiya was drugged, but it's still the point. Orochimaru couldn't use seals at all. Itachi obliterated Orochimaru effortlessly. Itachi has been a step above from the beginning. In order for him to keep his cover in Akatsuki, he had to avoid conflict without arousing suspicion, and the best way to do that was to present himself as being much less powerful than he actually is. The one thing we have been able to see in detail, is his intelligence and unpredictability in his fighting way approach. Itachi has been shown to be able to plan events years in advance, to account for possible flaws in his plans with powerful contingencies, and to use every possibility to his advantage. Shikamaru plans a few hours in advance, and we label him a tactical genius. If that is the case, what does one even call Itachi? The only real flaws that Itachi possesses is a smaller chakra reserves, and his own morality which keeps him from gaining Eternal Mangekyo. But even the chakra is arguable. The techniques we see him use are enormously powerful, and would therefor have a huge chakra cost. I'm not going to say he is the most powerful character in the anime, but I am going to say he is definitely very very high on that list, and probably higher than most people seem to give him credit for. Lastly but not least, Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story.
I feel like Itachi smiled because he sort of like want to make Naruto feel like he isn't really a bad guy and that he is proud Naruto is getting stronger. Because of two things, he really never wanted Naruto to fall in to the hands of the Akatsuki so the village would be safe and second is, he will be able to save Sasuke.
Itachi's clone was literally toying with Team 7 and then used substitution jutsu with Yura's dead body. Yura was jonin in Hidden in sand as well a traitor and a spy of Akatsuki , as he was a potential threat , itachi finished him and also analyzed Naruto's strength. And completed the task of distracting them in such a way that Akatsuki members cannot suspect him at all.
KAKASHI is so badass, he won't fall to same mistake twice....1st he fall to tsukuyomi genjutsu, but it won't never happend again. that's why Kakashi is the most badass character in Naruto series.
4:21 Back then I thought Itachi smiled because they succeeded extracting Biju from Gara. But now I know Kishimoto had all planned out...and I was wrong😔
When your squad consists of level 14s and you stumble upon on level 50 boss by accident
Yet your level 30 (naruto) thinks he can take him
Pretty sure Kakashi level would be way more than 14
More like 3 lvl 14s and a level 45
Basically itachi my boi dont take no shit

So should Kakashi, but I get it that he won't tell about his Anbu years when theres chiyo and others lol.
Kakashi was his Anbu Captain for 2 years.
Being his Anbu Captain for 2 years means nothing like if he was in his way he would kill kakashi with no problems
Respect has little to do with what im about to say but itachi really never thought of kakashi as a threat until he got his mangekyou like having that changes everything

Itachi weaving hand signs is always so good. I really missed that later in the series that kishimoto was no longer drawing that but I can kind of understand that considering how many ninjutsu were used each chapter. Also I love that Itachi actually says Kakashi-san he still has a basic respect towards him.
Back when genjutsu was used, good times.

A lot of people can defeat Itachi
+Ismail Nisar Itachi didnt fight full power and his power has decreased sharply bc of Sickness. If Naruto changed to nine tails form of six tails he couldnt defeat Itachi full tank of Susanoo and Amaterasu. That match was Itachi vs 4
+Tendai Mashava Who can?? plz tell me who can defeat Itachi when he was at his strongest time ??
+Ismail Nisar Hes never used that eye of shisui but definitely if Naruto gets caught by Totsuka blade, he will never have the nine tails inside any more, Yata mirror the strongest shield can handle any physical damages or any justu. Mangekyou Sharingan can control the nine tails, Obito did that with one eye
+Ismail Nisar Low amount of tail beasts' chakra means a lot of chakra compared to a shinobi's chakra. Why Naruto didnt use his own chakra to fight Sasuke, Sasuke's Susanoo is much weaker than Itachi's one unless he has Eternal Mangekyou. Imagine if Sasuke had the nine tails inside like Madara did he could use Susanoo for ever

Ksmoke he has kage level feats. Again kishi did him dirty but whatever.
yousuckatcooking yes. Rasenshuriken, 1k clones and rasengan are S+ rank jutsu. Again kishi didn’t showcase his full potential.
Ksmoke nine tails is part of Narutos arsenal. He was given nine tails to master Kuramas power. Why wouldn’t he use a power that that will never go away if it makes him stronger?

Even after all those years of training with Jiraiya, Naruto could not even break a weak genjutsu.
Weak, for real? Itachi is probably the strongest genjutsu user ever.
Mir Oslav it was a hand genjutsu and not a MS genjutsu. So it was a weak genjutsu. The genjutsu easily broke when Sakura and Lady Chiyo disrupted Naruto's chakra. The only genjutsu that is unbreakable is Tsukuyomi. Even generic sharingan genjutsu are breakable.
the strongest genjutsu user is Shisui
BArs now itachi beyond him
Thats funny...it's thinking itachi genjutsu is weak is just the right amount of confidence to be put in a itachi genjutsu lol. Weak genjutsu or not, itachi was a master at surprising you by already being put in a genjutsu.
The way he dodged the kunai and still managed to weave signs is incredible
Itachi uses genjutsu exactly how i would use it if it were real. His genjutsu is mimicking real life before he puts on the "front" of seriously fighting you. The genjutsu thats delicately layered over real life shows you that itachi slipped up. Boom! You go in for the kill/move and BAM youre defeated. Itachi removes the thin layered genjutsu and you find out you damaged, killed, or just made ass out of yourself in the case of naruto.
You fucking liar, if you had the power of genjutsu, then you'd be ero-sennin 2.0, lol
@@Orcawhale1 LOOL! Imagine if Jiraiya had Byakugan or Sharingan, or even ranmaru's dojutsu
it was alsp pretty impressive how Kakashi circumvented it. He only beeds to see something once to not fall for it again. He knew he couldnt beat Itachi’s genjutsu from their fight in part one, so instead he sent a clone as a distraction.
I think this is the one and only time Itachi has shown pure shock or any kind of real emotion in battle. He is honestly shocked that Kakashi knows the side effects of using Mangekyou Sharingan.
Its dont make any sense
It does make sense, Itachi realises that Kakashi might’ve unlocked Mangekyo himself.
The sharingan in the series is considered very rare.
Obviously all Uchias we see are more or less important to the plot, and hence they pretty much all have the sharingan (Obito, Itachi, Sasuke, Madara etc).
Most uchias don’t unlock their sharingan at all during their lifetime, let alone the mangekyo.
So for us seeing all the Uchias with sharingan or Mangekyo isn’t that big of a deal.
But in universe it’s extremlely rare.
From Itachis PoV, only he and Toby possesses it.
Shisui did get it, but he’s dead at this point.
So from Itachi’s PoV, only he, Shisui and Toby (which he believes to be Madara) has it.
So the vast majority of Uchias don’t get the regular sharingan in their lifetime, let alone the Mangekyo.
So there’s probably little to no information about it.
But all of a sudden this non-Uchia knows about it’s drawback.
This is the part where Itachi gets suprised, and shocked, believing that perhaps Kakashi do possess the MS, but how?
He does not know Toby is Obito, so it makes little sense to him.
So all of a sudden, He, Shisui and Madara/Toby, three geniuses within the Uchia are not the only one having MS, but also Kakashi, who is not even Uchia to begin with.
It SHOULD be impossible.
Itachi probably knew Kakashi had Obitos eyes, but Obito for all Itachi knew is dead.
Since Kakashi lack the Uchias DNA, it should impossible for him to unlock it.
So not at all weird that Itachi gets shocked.
And to be fair, fighting a pair of MS in Naruto is not a good thing.
MS abilities are broken as heck, and Itachi has no idea about Kakashis MS ability.
Whereas Kakashi do know atleast one of Itachis abilites.
That’s one of the reason Kakashi got the upper hand in this fight (granted he had back up, and Itachi was a clone).
the hand signs always get me hyped and itachi smile at the end made me sad :(
he smiled because he saw that Naruto is strong enough to save his brother sasuke
Will be strong enough. *
Current Naruto was weak af.
I Don't Read Responses Because You're Mostly Trolls Naruto may be stronger but some things are still the same: 1 He’s still an idiot. That’s for sure. 2 He still sucks at genjutsu cuz when he gets caught in one, he can’t release from it. 3 He still sucks at regular clone jutsu. Sad but it’s the truth
Itachi smiles as he is hit by the rasengan. Is he measuring Naruto's growth at this point. Hoping he will stop Sasuke? That's what I'm thinking.
0:51 itachi discovers kakashi has mangekyou and is because of that , that he knows his MS weakens
No dumbass , his ms is weakened cuz he was half blind . That clone is just 30% of the caster power . And the fact that his eyes are already weakened as he was nearing his death that time and also the very fact that itachi was never there to kill any of them . And how he smiled at the end knowing how naruto have gotten stronger and will save sasuke one day and that also proven in his genjutsu where he was tortured by sasuke memory and the other one when itachi said how far would you go to save my brother who was a rogue ninja that all went according to his plan to make sure naruto would go far save sasuke and also he uses naruto as a place to hide shisui eye as he knew he would use it one day

Imagine itachi, who wasn’t half blind, actually tried in every single fight, tried to get more powerful and trained on the daily like everyone else.

@@izzy-jd7ft would still be a fallacy regardless of its validity
Imagine Itachi ever actually challenging people who could beat him. Imagine him knowing that he was afraid to challenge such shinobies because he wasn't stupid enough to challenge them.

I found it funny on how at the end we never see itachi has a serious fight and show all of his power 😂
Itachi was half blind because the mangekyo so that's cheating he did train and get more powerful everyday BUT he did have a sickness and did hold back in some major fights he would've been a beast but peak itachi still gets dicked by Obito...

In my opinion Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exced almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exced almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷🏻♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat(his Taijutsu it's exceptional and underrated) is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷🏻♂️ ☯️
To much my guy
Not reading all that 🤣
Ok calm down
I got 25% through this and couldn’t go further lol. This is a comment for Reddit lol
@@JD-ip4fsEven if Itachi is basically a pacifist, that doesn't mean that he can't mobilize and adapt in an unnatural situation, especially if the confrontation is a serious one, he prefers most of the time to finish the fights as quickly as possible, that's why Itachi should never be underestimated. Itachi lived his whole life so that Sasuke could defeat him and become an Uchiha hero as well as a hero of the leaf. That, obviously, didn’t go as planned. However, it did allow Sasuke to grow and begin to start asking the right questions that would eventually lead him to becoming the man he (Itachi) wanted him to be. (Itachi was killed so that Sasuke could grow more powerful both as a character (to us in a real world moral sense) and as a Ninja. Itachi from the get go was extremely talented which more precisly means that Itachi just like Minato was pretty much an unique, authentic and especially unpredictable Shinobi which could exceed or overcome almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto himself) In my opinion No One in the series should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). That is why it is arguable/debatable that he probably could or could not defeat foes like Minato, Obito or Pain/Nagato. Itachi was also a prodigy from birth and he knew all sorts of tricks and he's definitely a troublesome fellow to encounter. In my opinion, they are both very versatile, unique, interesting and especially very unpredictable in their way of fighting style approach. If you make an effort to look or to rewatch at all of Itachi's fights, you might discover that he's pretty much always able to outsmart anyone during a fight or a encounter, because of his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach. His way of thinking and his calmness, intelligence and battle IQ experience factor it's very authentic and underrated, his true potential remain still unknown, because he wasn't go all out against anyone during the series.🤷🏻♂️☯️ I don't understand how some of you guys even dare or can to underestimate Itachi like that, many of you guys forget that Itachi isn't just any ordinary shinobi either, he is still considered by a very wide range of Naruto connoisseurs to be a very unique and unpredictable character at the same time and no one should underestimate him as some of you guys currently do. ;/ ☯️🤷🏻♂️What you have to remember, is that even in his battle with Sasuke, he has been fighting to lose. Itachi has always attempted to avoid conflict at all costs. He has to maintain his cover as an Akatsuki member, so he has to make viable excuses to avoid battle. When he says that fighting Jiraiya would have serious consequences, we know that he has an innate desire not to fight anyone at all, let alone a hero of the leaf, and he was a spy protecting Konoha from shadows. He could have killed Kakashi with ease. Kakashi even states that Itachi could have killed him, and wondered why he didn't. Knowing this, it is easy to see the pieces that point to a picture of Itachi that is devastatingly powerful in combat. In his confrontation with Asuma and Kurenai when he enters Konoha, we see him send Kurenai flying a large distance with a simple kick. We also see him deflect chidori, and snap Sasuke's arm like a twig with a single hand. He also sends Sasuke flying clear down the hallway with another kick in this fight. He is obviously a powerful, versatile, unpredictable and underrated taijutsu user. We know that he can kill with a glance using Tsukuyomi or Amaterasu, and become nearly invincible with his Susanoo. We see him use exploding clones, (it's his one of his unpredictability in his fighting way approach) powerful genjutsu not linked to his sharingan, ( with a single point of a one of his fingers) and making hand seals at insane speeds. He kicks the shit out of Kakashi and he barely moves. Tobi also tells us himself that Itachi could have killed him if it weren't for carefully guarded secrets. Orochimaru beats Tsunade and Jiraiya without the use of his arms. Granted, Jiraiya was drugged, but it's still the point. Orochimaru couldn't use seals at all. Itachi obliterated Orochimaru effortlessly. Itachi has been a step above from the beginning. In order for him to keep his cover in Akatsuki, he had to avoid conflict without arousing suspicion, and the best way to do that was to present himself as being much less powerful than he actually is. The one thing we have been able to see in detail, is his intelligence and unpredictability in his fighting way approach. Itachi has been shown to be able to plan events years in advance, to account for possible flaws in his plans with powerful contingencies, and to use every possibility to his advantage. Shikamaru plans a few hours in advance, and we label him a tactical genius. If that is the case, what does one even call Itachi? The only real flaws that Itachi possesses is a smaller chakra reserves, and his own morality which keeps him from gaining Eternal Mangekyo. But even the chakra is arguable. The techniques we see him use are enormously powerful, and would therefor have a huge chakra cost. I'm not going to say he is the most powerful character in the anime, but I am going to say he is definitely very very high on that list, and probably higher than most people seem to give him credit for. Lastly but not least, Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story.
3:25 weaving hand signs like nothing while dodging kunais... it’s the little details that make you realize how insane itachi is
I love how itatchi smiles shows just how much he cares for them and want naruto to get strong
Itachi op dont even try my boi is generations ahead of all ya'll
Naruto:Giant Rasengan
Itachi:Nope,another day kid
I fucking love his random genjutsu. Because even we got trapped in it. 😂😂😂
I just realized what he meant by "how much did your vision weaken?" after finishing Naruto and watching this
3:23 Damn it, look at those hand gestures. Pure delight to watch.😍
When you're playing a RPG at level 7 and stumble across a level 100 boss outta nowhere.
3:56 I can hear Sasuke's voice in Itachi xD
3:50 one of the coolest scenes in the entire series.
Especially with my top 2 fav char 😁😁😁
Itachi is so proud of naruto and knowing how strong sasuke prolly is
I swear deadass everybody itachi fought from the lead he wasn’t trying too kill I swear.... while everybody was trying hard as hell to beat him 😂😂
Ikr
I feel like Itachi smiled because he sort of like want to make Naruto feel like he isn't really a bad guy and that he is proud Naruto is getting stronger. Because of two things, he really never wanted Naruto to fall in to the hands of the Akatsuki so the village would be safe and second is, he will be able to save Sasuke.
Itachi was unstoppable at his time but when I found out the truth about him that was sad bro rip itachi the master of sharingun user💯😢
If Itachi want he can kill Naruto with susanoo
When Itachi decide to use fire ball jutsu you know everyone will be Okay...
That is so true. Why is fire release so weak? I don't think it's ever effected a single person in the series.
@Just Some Gay. It was on different level
Damn knowing what that smile means fam naruto has some god level story writing
4:34 that smile from Itachi means that you are admitted to be sasuke's wifu
Itachi's clone was literally toying with Team 7 and then used substitution jutsu with Yura's dead body. Yura was jonin in Hidden in sand as well a traitor and a spy of Akatsuki , as he was a potential threat , itachi finished him and also analyzed Naruto's strength. And completed the task of distracting them in such a way that Akatsuki members cannot suspect him at all.
And by clone, I assume you mean imposter.
KAKASHI is so badass, he won't fall to same mistake twice....1st he fall to tsukuyomi genjutsu, but it won't never happend again.
that's why Kakashi is the most badass character in Naruto series.
I can't imagine how itachi strong if he had the eternal mangekyu sharinggan
And if he didnt have his disease.
And if his eyes has more light
More chakra and more susanoo. Nothing more, actually.
@big man rasheed.silence
@big man rasheed. u heard me
this whole arc was so good
Glad to see two most loved character fighting.
3:20 that fire ball transition was crazy 😈
4:21 Back then I thought Itachi smiled because they succeeded extracting Biju from Gara.
But now I know Kishimoto had all planned out...and I was wrong😔
He called them : Kakashi San and Naruto Kun, not by sarcasm. respect ! 👌
Itachi called "Kakashi San" he is so respect to his senior
even though itachi would wax kakashi cause kakashi is a fraud without his eye,still using the same techniques in part 1... fraud
Its when i thought kakashi never knew itachi, but actually they were partners as an anbu in danzous foundation lol.
Saitama ML no they werent. That was Filler
KurasakiBleachigo1 lol yeah it a filler, but it happened in the past. It was a flashback ,
Saitama ML they were anbu of hokage... to put it simple... secret guards of hokage... they were not anbu of danzos foundation
When you realize itachi literally had no interest in capturing naruto here and was probably looking for sasuke
The only thing this fight is missing is "Crawling" or "In The End" by Linkin Park as background music
Fighting without leaving his spot. Goat.
