Sasuke needed eye contact for that Genjutsu, Itachi didn't. Back to the point I was making.. Kisame made it clear he thought Itachi was full of shit, and he knows Itachi could beat Jiraiya. Orochimaru admitted Itachi is stronger than him, and can beat him.. and that was a 13yr old Itachi who beat him. a Healthy 21yr old Itachi is on a different level. Tsunade can't beat Oro or Jiraiya we know this and her healing won't save her from Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. Shit she can't even defeat his Sharingan Genjutsu, because Oro who is 5th tier in Genjutsu couldn't do a damn thing so we know that she can't. Itachi is above Sannin level and only Sage Mode Jiraiya could fight him and have a chance of winning in the end. Claiming he is ONLY Sannin level is preposterous. Danzo is Sannin level and he couldn't handle Shisui at all.. he needed Shugaro and his venomous insects to be able to take even one eye from Shisui and Shisui made it clear Itachi would probably surpass him. Itachi didn't have Mangekyo Sharingan yet and was only 11.5yrs old when Shisui said that.. even if Shisui is only 3.5 years older than Itachi(check Seel's timeline) that is still saying something. Itachi is severely underestimated.. but the people who claim he can beat Rinnegan/Wood Release Madara, Sage Mode Hashirama, Prime Hiruzen, Kaguya, Hagoromo, and Hamura are on crack.
