No he was not fighting full stop against KCM Naruto because as shown with Madara, Edo's are still much weaker than their living counterparts. You act like Itachi was alive and blood lusted in that fight 1. He dropped a smokebomb (which covers the shunshin) and disappeared. Naruto met him in mid air and Naruto casually talked with him. 2. Perfect Jinchuriki method to break genjutsu. I didn't need to bring it up since that's how it worked. 3. Itachi was stronger as an Edo Tensei than he was in life. He had no disease. He had unlimited chakra reserves. He had regeneration. His eyes were perfect. He was never said to be weaker. What you're continually bringing up is a fallacy. Madara was explicitly said to be stronger by Kabuto himself. The only two Edo Tensei who were weaker than in life were Hashirama and Tobirama due to Orochimaru's version not being complete. If Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama were weaker, its because their powers were harder for Kabuto or Orochimaru to manifest fully. While the rest were never said to have been weaker. Is there any manga panel page or Databook entry saying all Edo Tensei are weaker than they are in life? If there is, I haven't seen it.
