Itachi Uchiha : Feats: - able to figure out and counter chibaku Tensei within seconds. (while edo) - While dying from a terminal illness, being out of chakra, and being legally blind was able to summon his susanoo faster than enhanced lighting can strike him. - Had a full on fight with Sasuke while being legally blind, terminal illness and not wanting to kill Sasuke. - He instantly shut down Orochimaru every single time, Orochimaru tried to do anything. (it was so funny seeing Orochimaru constantly be in a genjutsu) - had Kage level thinking at the age of seven. - He also eliminated the entire Uchiha clan with Obito. (age 13!) - Zetsu (a person who has existed since the time of Kaguya and Hogoromo) called Itachi INVINCIBLE when he had both the yata mirror and totsuka blade.

Hindrances: - Had a terminal illness for god knows how long and was only surviving in the end due to his sheer willpower to die by Sasuke's hands. - He was a natural pacifist and therefore would probably hold back from destruction for the sack of destruction. - He never wanted to hurt anyone from the leaf village and he probably could have killed (Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi) easily several times through the series as once they were caught in his genjutsu, they can't do anything. - He was legally blind by his final battle, and we don't know how bad his sight has been (probably a while considering how fast Sasuke's eyesight faded in the series).

Prime: - The only thing holding Itachi back was his stamina, and it should be fair to assume that his terminal illness probably was a major factor in his lack of stamina throughout the series as Itachi has many high chakra consuming moves at his disposal (shadow clone, susanoo, ameterasu, tsukiyomi) - His terminal illness also probably would have severly weakened his body as he was literally coughing blood and struggling to stand in the end. - His eyes have been shown to be able to keep up with just about anything in the series (lighting), even when he was legally blind).
