Itachi I don't think is as powerful as people make him out to be, yes he is one of the most powerful characters, but I still don't see him winning against the likes of the hokages, Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, Madara, or the like. As for Nagato, in his defense, he was sick and used the Pain bodies which was a major nerf to his abilities. With the eyes, in a healthy body, its pretty clear that he was practically invincible to everyone except for maybe Obito and Madara. (Itachi, Naruto, and Killer Bee all who are around the same level could barely seal Nagato and that was with his sealing sword I forget its name). Now the thing that I do have to say is Obito and Madara do get nerfed big time. If they used Almighty Push like they could, combined with their abilities they could never lose to ANYONE, especially for Obito his MS abilities + Almighty push = Unbeatable.
