@MIGshinobi The 3rd won't get hurt by the Clone Great Explosion. If he can tank a Rasenshuriken, which already powerful on its on and being his nature weakness than, an explosion that was so close to Itachi and the Konoha-nin and yet weren't pushed back by the explosion or hurt by the sound of the boom, it is not that strong. Also, while it isn't said, it is hinted that the 4th is faster than the 3rd but the fact is the 3rd was was able to dodge attacks of great speed at point-blank range, that is fact. If anybody's speed is overhyped, it's Itachi. Itachi is not faster than the 3rd that is a fact nor is he on his level of speed. Itachi is fast though and distance will be Itachi's best option. And using Amaterasu to face, classic never done it, why do it now move. The only option for Itachi is genjutsu and the eye contact will be difficult for him to achieve so his only best one will be Ephemeral or Demonic Illusions Crows Technique, mind you these are average at best genjutsus, and what will Itachi do from there, because A's armor will still be on. And time is of the esscence. Let me guess, Amaterasu, sure that'd work but lets say A figures the genjutsu out and breaks it and attacks Itachi clad in black flames which won't work well in Itachi's favor. It won't be easy to make a Guy who took on the 8-Tails and 1000 shinobi hesitate. The odds roll more in A's favor than Itachi sorry to say. If you don't see that than well farewell to you sir.
