He’s not just strong He’s super smart, that’s why Tobi was scared of him.

Writers really said "aight this character is too OP let's kill him with sickness"

"I don't even need the sharigan to deal with you" *Removes Orochimarus head* -Itachi

“All ninjutsu have a weakness And it’s Me” -Itachi Uchiha

Healthy itachi said he probably would’ve teamed up with nagato and had that uzumaki, uchiha connection. They really could’ve been like naruto and sasuke maybe even better

my favorite itachi facts is how he did the chunin exams all by himself. and when he was in the forrest of death he came across a team of 3 and they said “it’s 3 vs 1 you’re outnumbered” and itachi replied with “why do you think i’m by myself” cold

"A man who can burn fire itself"- Obito the goat

This guy and Jiraya by far the most interesting characters. I'd watch a whole anime on em

When Itachi uses susano,the susano is in his protection.

This man need his own anime damn it

It's not about the power, it's about sending a message. - Itachi Uchiha(♾️)

That's why Itachi is and always will be my favorite anime character, there's levels to that beast

The older I get, the more I learn that Itachi is probably the only character in fiction that actually completely deserves all of the hype behind his name. He was just too good bro.

Sasuke: the sharingan can track hand signs no matter how fast it is Itachi: *proceeds to weave signs faster than the sharingan can see*

The fact he thought he might be controlled after death, he put the bird with shisui eye an put it in naruto blew my mind.

Itachi is so strong that only a handful of shinobies can stand against him.. like Sakumo, Minato & Shisui ❤ And even fewer can actually beat him like Madara, Hashirama & Shisui ❤

Itachi would’ve been a great Hokage. Would’ve been nice to see him truly happy and more open. Imagine he was Hokage, teaching new Ninja, having a laugh with Shisui and Sasuke.

God of shinobi : Your brother was even greater shinobi than I am, Sasuke.

Itachi is legendary. Kishi didn’t dare to make him lose in a fight.

What a strong Shinobi. He's like a secret weapon.

Thats why Kishimoto had to kill him off. He wrote him too strong that even Obito/Pain wouldnt attack the leaf while he was alive.

Hands faster than the 3 tamoe sharingan can track, like wow what more needs to be said....

Basically itachi is positive madara

I think Obito was genuinely scared of having to deal with a healthy Itachi. Even while sick and planning to die, Obito was wary enough of Itachi that he figured it'd be a better idea to just let him die to Sasuke and continue his plans after. It's likely that Obito was still stronger than Itachi, but he clearly worried that Itachi had legitimate ways to kill him and wanted to steer clear of that. If Konan was able to force him to Izanagi himself to survive I find it hard to believe that Itachi couldn't, and unlike Konan, Itachi knew about the existence of Izanagi and would've planned for it.

Itachi is the Anthony Davis of Naruto. A beast when healthy but always injured 😂

All the attacks and downfall of leaf village happened after his death. He was too strong and smart that he made sure leaf village was safe while he lived. Even nagato and obito waited for his death.

The fact he isn’t a reincarnation of demi gods and all his power was achieved on his own (no borrowed power), he really is the best! Always had good intentions no matter what he had to do, love the dude

He is my favorite character in Naruto. Outstanding. He played villain and hero at the same time. He chose the village over his own clan.

there is very good reason why Itachi was so feared. he was the real deal

He was so OP he had to be nerded with a sickness

Someone we can all relate to, yet someone none of us are really like. One of the greatest characters in history.

My only issue is "Easily defeated edo Nagato" it literally took Kcm Naruto, Killer Bee, and Edo Itachi with the totsuka blade, which is arguably the only sealing jutsu that could actually seal Nagato

Itachi, Neji, Asuma and others deserve their flowers bro. Top tier, underrated ninja

Itachi should have his own anime

People arguing in the comments should know Itachi is not loved just for his strength but his character and all the sacrifices he has done for his village and brother.

I guess you could say Itachi was healthier after he died than when he was alive. also, fun fact:Itachi's voice actor is also Jushiro Ukitake's voice actor who also suffered from a health problem.

The man who can burn the fire itself 🔥🔥

Bro was the mvp in war

Itachi needs his own show

itachi was a isekai character in Naruto....... he mastered those things in childhood which even adults couldn't do it.......

My man itachi was Strong and even had a brilliance as like of minato's and shikamaru's. That's what makes him so special and an danger opponent.

My favorite Naruto character 💯 . He's so 🔥 I wish they would make a series just for Itachi 😊

One week away from getting my itachi tattoo. Can’t wait

His Tsukoyomi being able to kill somebody is like the icing on the cake.

Put some mutha fucking respect on Itachi’s name! 💯 Thanx for this vid

Itachi - Verified Ninja Madara - Verified Warlord

It feels so good to have found this short when your favourite character is Itachi. All the Iachi doubters have no fcking clue.

I still love that little duel with Naruto and the way he casually blocks and lands hard hits on him.

Bro was the real main character

I believe that obito was scared of him or atleast the animators thought so cause in every interaction or relation to itachi that obito had he was like ya naah itachi will take me out. In the movie he straight up dipped when itacg was like ya lets see how transparent you really are.

Itachi is just special and in his own league

The only member of Akatsuki that Obito was truly afraid of.

And the realist person in the entire anime

Itachi was right up there with the hokages as far as power and he had a high fighting IQ .

I'd say the only feat that does not track is the Nagato feat. He beat him with the assistance of KCM Naruto and Bee, as well as the fact that Nagato was not in control at the time. Other than that, oh yeah, Itachi is a beast.

intelligence was itachi's strongest trait.

Itachi is the true Hero. The whole story lived off of him.

Him and Shisui the one was one even greater just imagine

this is why itachi is my favorite but not because of how strong he is but because hes a silent genius that does watever it takes😮‍💨

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 exceed 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 exceed 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 then 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ☯️

Ppl always say he kept up with KCM naruto but I seriously doubt naruto was going full speed. He was literally just trying to have a conversation with edo itachi during that whole exchange. Not to say he's not capable of putting up a fight but I just think from a purely speed perspective it's kinda wild that ppl think he's as fast as KCM. Itachi is my favorite character btw so im not trying to downplay him.

Bro Potential is still Untapped.. 🥲

Man is goat

He was that overpowered at a very young age and people whine about Boruto.

Itachi was the outlier that the tree guy and tobi didn’t count on when coming up with the plans. Man was unstoppable, he literally let himself be killed 😂

Sasuke’s Orichimaru’s Cursed Form is nastyyyyy. The wings.

Tobirama: uchiha = bad uchiha die =good itachi u r my fav person

He did not "easily" destroy Nagato. He needed help.

Just like naruto and sasuke were parallels of ashura and indra, I believe itachi was a parallel of hagoromo. Notice that itachi uchiha is the only character who has not lost a single fight all his life. Obito had to delay project tsuki no me and was heavily relieved when itachi died. He is a plot machine. No matter how strong anyone got, itachi never lost, not once. So if he were to live, itachi would probably be the hero of the show with immeasurable power and massive feats. Imagine being so strong that your parents leave your infant brother at your aid alone when you are barely 6. And that itachi was the best ninja in terms of ability alone. Like bro just casually entered konoha, absolutely VIOLATED 3 strong jonins and casually left. He is that strong.

He’s the GOAT

This is the knowledge people forget

Still got clapped by a Hyuga with one eye

also only main uchiha without any physical amps....no EMS, Rinnegan or Hashirama cells

Itachi was the definititon of Him. Straight up

He is smart and very genius.he knew and observe the situation markebely about anything......... that's why he is dangerous.

Itachi is such a badass

If you know his susano had a special shield and sword that was so powerful that he could just seal ths kaguya easily

That’s why he’s the gooooat

Itachi is the 🐐 of Naruto in my eyes

Sick itachi around VERY start of shippuden I’d put relative to 6 tails. Reanimated full power id say around KCM2? Perfectly healthy nobody knows

We never saw his true strength because he was a pacifist 😢

Hes literally a god

Healthy, full power itachi was untouchable.

Why do ppl act like itachi didn't have bacc up from bee n Naruto when he was fighting against nagato 😂

That's the fan-made manga of Itachi fighting against Orochimaru. It's tight.

Itachi never once panicked or sweated from being scared

That hand speed shit is nuts

Yeah I disagree with a LOT of this scaling. 1. I only think Itachi’s sickness nerfs his stamina, not overall power, as we see any time his sickness comes up in the manga it just shows him fatiguing fast, whereas when he’s not sick like as an Edo, he can spam his MS abilities without any problems. 2. Book of Daylight says Itachi is stronger than his Jonin Teacher, but Danzo and Hiruzen state Itachi’s teacher is pretty weak for a Jonin, and Kakashi shouldn’t even be in question here at least, as he’s not a Jonin, he’s a Anbu Captian. So where 11 year old Itachi scales to the Kage Level Kakashi, is unknown during this book. 3. I don’t think Edo Itachi scales to Full Power KCM1 Naruto, as Naruto just prior to this encountered launched 14 Shadow Clones. Shadow Clones as stated by Kakashi nerf the caster, as he states you use up your chakra to put into the Clones. And Naruto himself isn’t even trying to defeat Itachi, but get info out of him. 4. Edo Nagato is another debate, that I don’t care for getting into right now. 5. EMS Sasuke has no real scaling at this point, besides being stated to be equal to Itachi during the fight against Kabuto. But we know EMS Sasuke got stronger, as not only does he get much better scaling and statements that flat out say he’s above Itachi, but his hatred also begins to grow after their conversation, and we know hatred amps Sasuke. So all this means is that Itachi should be above MS Sasuke, and we also know that Doujutsu take time to mature to come to it’s true power, which backs that Itachi doesn’t scale to full power EMS Sasuke

The question still remains if itachi could actually beat madara by outsmarting him in some way. I know this has been discussed alot but itachi just seems to have a slight edge in any fight he participates in and he as a character is portrayed that way throughout the entire series. In terms of raw power madara of course wins but a battle isn´t just this…

Obito and Madara blink him out of existence

If he didn’t have to deal with the uchiha civil war, this guy would have made for an amazing hokage.

orange mask obito still folds any form of itachi except edo, which can go either way

He did not easily destroy Edo nagato😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Itachi❤❤

Yes itachi is the best❤

And yet Itachi said, “if we fight him, we’ll both die. Even if there were more of us, the results would be the same” Edit: guys💀 I was just playing to see people get mad you can calm down now. I know Itachi and Kisame are both I dividualy as strong/stronger than jaraiya. Also that Itachi was probably just protecting him. But thanks for the replies

Itachi didn't keep up with Naruto's speed. Naruto was just playing with him so he can talk. At that point, Raikage was considered to be the fastest shinobi alive and Naruto outspeeded him. So guess who is the fastest shinobi?

Jirayija and itachi were to OP.

Agreeed hes so slept on

Bruh...itachi is strong but i'm really tired of peoples talking abt him like he's some god or smthg, healthy itachi scale to the likes of sage kabuto at best and he has never fight with kcm naruto, they were more like talking than anything, wasn't an all out fight at all. Sure i can see him stomp most kage but any kage 1v1 easily, no not at all, that's seriously overestimating him. Also saying that itachi did defeat edo nagato is false, first that wasn't 1v1, second kabuto was controlling nagato having an hard time to do so.
