Aaaand no. I`m just curious whether the fact that Madara would have been slayed by Itachi had the last one been alive is true. It sounds too ridicolous so i really have to find out.

I've been looking for it, but it seems to have been invented. Even among hundreds of youtube comments and other threads, i can't find a single link, or even a date or circumstance in which he said.

EDIT: especially suspect is that i see the phrase repeated everywhere pretty much the same, with no variation or other context. just "Kishimoto said that itachi would beat madara"

I hardly believed this fact when i was told about it at the first time. But then i also saw comments on youtube and became surprised like you. It`s kind of strange that hundreds of poorly matched people say the same thing over and over again.

So probably they all just found some fake interview (as far as we even don`t have link of any version of it it`s unlikely) or Kishimoto simply didn`t think things true those times (the date of this "statement" is unknown, after all). But according to absence of any proof, it simply came out of nowhere, i think.
