ItachiWasAHero wrote: Itachi fought Sage Mode Kabuto and Chakra Mode Naruto and he tied with them both in Taijutsu, as an Edo Tensei, now mind you Edo Tensei's are still overall weaker than if they were revived with Rinne Tensei. So Idk about that, Itachi being deathly ill still tied with Jiraiya with a 35.5 total stat. Toad sage are different than snake sage, their body are had, were as snake sage are fast... And we haven't seen jiraya's full power except with pain... Where else itachi is a true genius, as I said a Brain like itachi will turn opponent's jutsu against them, as we have seen with shikamaru vs hidan no matter hidan was immortal... Where else jiraya too know powerful sealing jutsus if oro is immortal jiraya could seal him for good... But he never wanted to do so, he and naruto both are naive wanting to turn bad to good... Their intention is not to defeat the opponent but to change their heart (expect some special case like kayuga, where the only goal was to defeat the enemy)
