I agree that Itachi is abover Hokage Kakashi. that is a given. the man as at most S-rank at his best (not DMS vesrsion).

even i hate to say it, but he can be considered above Hiruzen. the problem with Hiruzen is that he is hype and not real feats. Itachi has better feats than him period.

Tsunade on the other hand i disagree. She is a Kage who broke Madara's Susanoo. was alive even when her body was cut in half and was still saving the life of fellow Kage. she healed the damage of Tsukuyomi by a mere touch and saved the life of a near death Shikamaru by mere touch again. her feats put her way above Itachi.

the Gokage were fighting Madara with full body Susanoo, RInnegan, Mokuton and still survived stood almost on par. so they actualy have far greater feats.

even i think of the Edo Kage Itachi trumphs Raasa.

the Boruto Kage are anamoly. they stood their ground against Kinshiki. no matter what anyone says they were considered real threats. at the least Kinshiki can be considered somewhere at Juubito level. so that actually puts them above Itachi.

Itachi is high S or if not for his really bad stamina and limite use of MS he would be low Kage tier.

@Flatzone

NTCM Naruto never went all out against Itachi and Nagato. he wanted to talk with Itachi and not blast him to oblivion.

and against Sage Kabuto Itachi got his ass handed out to him multiple times. he was caught in the Genjutsu. if not for Sasuke alongside him then he would be caught in the webs or done in by the bones. he was pierced by the inanimate living Sage jutsu. he was even cut in half by chakra scalpel.

he survived Kabuto because Sasuke was with him and the fact that Kabuto suddenly had a backstory that allowed the use of Izanami on him.
