Ironically, I don't think a lot of users are giving him enough credit here.

He obviously isn't on Madara's level, that's easy to see. But Madara was so far above the 5 Kage it was sad. Itachi doesn't need to be Madara's level.

Plus, I'd say Itachi is a "smarter" fighter. Not saying Madara isn't smart, but Madara's fighting style is honestly just to overwhelm his opponent with power and skill. It works for him because he's that good.

Itachi works smarter, not harder, and that makes up for a lot.

I don't think Itachi would win. I think the 5 Kage win 100 out of 100 fights. But I think chances are big that Itachi would take one, maybe two Kage down with him.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see it. I can't see it being a remotely close fight, and brains can't carry you that far when you can't carry it up with ability. He has no real advantages here. Literally everything he can do is pretty handily nullified. His speed? rendered pretty moot as every Shinobi here can keep up with him and one is faster. His Sharingan? We've had it said multiple opponents is the way to handle that, and one opponent can kill his vision via mist. His maneuverability? Multiple projectiles, and two opponents can change the topography. Amaterasu? We saw Gaara blocking it from Sasuke. Susanoo? Without the mirror, Mei, Onoki and Gaara act as pretty hard counters working in tandem.

It's like putting Shikamaru against all of Team guy. Smarts will stop mattering if there's nothing you can really do.

and i really can't see why EDO!! Itachi is being lowballed to such an extent, we know he's not Madara,so what? his techniques speak for themselves. His clones has access to the mangekyou sharingan, 1 clone took down NarutO without moving a muscle, i don't see why they won't spam amaterasu, this is a fight where that is needed. PLus he can stream it and that's bad for slowpokes like Mei and Tsunade. When has Itachi not place a person under genjutsu at the beginning of a fight? he'll use that same move and end that person with Amaterasu, and with available intel on the yata mirror i don't see how they'll get past it. But luckily this is where Gaara comes in he'll pull Itachi out and itachi's ability to control susanoo whilst outside of It would definitely be used to end gaara with totsuka.. blade

None of them are slow, and the Kages fight as one and cover one another. Itachi has not shown he can spam Amaterasu.

What happens? The Kages overwhelm and eliminate Itachi in short order. That's really all there is to this.

If Itachi is yanked out of Susanoo, what reason do Mei or Onoki not have to instant blast him, btw?
