@Hiko

Yes. like Pein, Obito stated same. if their opponent, Jiriaya and Itachi, knew their secrets they would easily defeat them.

but in the end they are just statements.

let's talk about Obito.

he has Kamui, by which he apparantly negated Amaterasu. if he could do that once why not always. he has Izanagi to easily live through death.

also having knowledge of Obito's Kamui did not help Konan defeat him. and by no means Itachi can match the destructive power that spanned over five minutes like Konan did.

they are statements just to hype characters, nothing else. it did not happen and just saying so without any basis does not make it happen.

i mean take Itachi's MS Power into consideration...

in part 1, when he was clearly not sick, he could barely use Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi in continuous successions. he felt drained using them.

on the other side, Sasuke who just attained MS could spam the spam the same jutsu much more.

it also doesnt help that Sasuke has shown greater control with Amaterasu in a little time since he acquire MS. even his Susanoo far surpassed Itachi's. Madara's skills were on a whole different level.

the illusion of Itachi's skill with MS far above them apparently comes from him being the first user of those skills and at that time they were hyped as ultimate jutsu and only he was known to be able to use them for years until Sasuke got MS.
