Nobody here said that Itachi was "way above Sannin level". I don't know where you got that from. Also, why are you using stats? They cause nothing but confusion. Also, I haven't seen any notable moments where Itachi had "plot armor". He is one of the few characters who haven't to rely on plot to battle. You talk about its plot that with his shit stamina that he is able to do as much as he can do, but the fact remains that he can't last very long in a battle as proven. You have no way to scale his stamina because he has never been pushed to the extent he his battle with Sasuke, and he was sick. I would say however that giving him the Totsuka Blade was just for plot convenience, aka sealing Orochimaru. As for the Yata Mirror I don't know as it has never been used in the way that its databook entry says it can do. By overall, I don't understand why you are going out your way to try and downplay Itachi for someone who claims he loves him. You say you are being realistic, yet I don't see it. This has nothing to with you disagreeing with me, because I never said Itachi was way above the Sannin level, neither has anyone else. Clearly you are reading too much into the comments and you took what you wanted to hear.
