Yeah you two don't really have an argument here. LegionZero, Snapper2 and Jason are right in their replies to you two. But I'll reply with this anyway.. Itachi has the abilities stated in the novels which also line up more with the manga, he was dying from disease anyway and his plans were to die by Sasuke's hand to avenge his clan and give Sasuke more power to protect himself with, and everything after that was secondary. Why would he take such a risk? His role and goals were to be a spy for Konoha in the Akatsuki and the Sasuke goal I mentioned already. Who do you think was giving Jiraiya all this info on Akatsuki anonymously? Only spy in Akatsuki was Itachi so that one should be clear. His novel feats concerning his abilities have not been contradicted, and neither have Kakashi's.
