@ Lone Ninja Except itachi vs kurenai ended, THEN kakashi came and changed the dynamic of the fight and they essentially had a one v one. And You are talking as if ITachi didn't know kurenai's game. He knew she was going for genjutsu cause that's all she can do, once she does it he already knew that just had to reverse it back on her and kick her into the water. You are mistaking being aggressive for not taking initiative. You don't have to take initiative to win a fight because you if you are superior you can always reverse the initiative with an effective counter attack, and that's what he does. He immediately countered her genjutsu then blitzed her while she was distracted and kicked her into the water, and before she could pull herself back together, he was already standing over in the water, now that's aggression. Again kakashi came at that moment and basically itachi challenged him to a one v one, everyone else simply watched at that moment.

He used susanoo because it was the most efficient way to block multiple gigantic snakes, not sure what your point is. IT proves my earlier point that he knows when he needs to use susanoo and when he doesn't, and in this case it was his first counter-attack.

Wrong, because it has been shown multiple times that edo tensei depending on their personality won't go all out. ITachi even warned bee that he was sneaking behind him in that fight. They are forced to do attacks against their will, but no one ever said that those attacks are optimized. When he switched sides, he uses susanoo to cut off Nagato's arms, that's pretty aggressive. HE needed to make sure naruto and bee were safe, and while he was settling down he let nagato make the first move, then he counter attacked with his allies and then using the explosion from chibaku tensei as a distraction he immediately sealed nagato away, so idk what you are talking about, that is aggressive, even if he let his opponent make the first move.

He uses susanoo when the situation calls for it. Minatp, the fastest shinobi alive blitzing him? thats one of those situations lol.

Read my post carefully and use context. Ay dodged amaterasu because he was standing still and knew it was coming. Same thing for Gaara's sand. They were mentally and physically balanced and were prepared for the attack. When someone is running top speed they can't dodge an attack efficently because their body weight is shifted forward and down and they are already moving their legs in an direction at blistering speed, and there is also an allocation of their mental focus. Show me a scan where someone dodged Amaterasu while they were already committed to another physical action. You can't because people have only countered amaterasu when all their attention was focused on the fact they knew it was coming and were physically free to move their body or defense as they choose. ITs like you didn't even read my post. Minato can dodge amaterasu if he is standing still and sees itachi focusing on him, but that isn't the scenario at hand. I said if he blitzes itachi first, he won't be able to evade because he is already running in a straight line, and amaterasu will definitely hit him mid- blitz. I never said anything about itachi being faster than Minato. You don't need to have better running speed than someone to react to them with a technique, especially when itachi has reaction speed feats in being able to react to lightning.
