<p>@Rachin123 I doubt Izanami will even work on the Third Raikage. The dude fought 30+ elite shinobis for days so that his men can escape. If that's not being true to oneself, then I don't know what is </p>

<p>Actually, Itachi has more then one Genjutsu he can use without Eye Contact. He has the Demonic Illusions for example which are stated to be able to be used without eye contact. I was gonna come in this debate and yell "STOP WITH THE ITACHI FIGHTS!" but I actually like this one, because Itachi actually has little to no Chance in winning this. The only way he could win, is if he can catch him in Genjutsu or hit him that that Totsuka (which is possible from a Susanoo's power.) however its unlikely Itachi can even keep up to do that. Third is wayyyy too fast. Then again, Naruto in just Sage was able to dodge him, Maybe Itachi can since he fought Chakra Cloak Naruto. However, I wanna say Narutos feat was just pure Plot Armor. The fight comes down to this, if Raikage hits him, it's over, if Itachi hits him with Genjutsu or Tot, its /possible/ that its over. Raikage is more likely to win. </p>

<p>^Itachi fought Naruto in KCM for like 5 seconds and he was the one to attack, Naruto just blocked. No speed feats from that battle. I really don't know what people reading or watching. Naruto reacted to the Third's attack but that's reaction speed not general speed, and that's thanks to SM. Itachi could use the Ephemeral but he hardly uses that for a reason. As for the Shackles genjutsu. We have no solid proof that it doesn't require eye contact. For all we know, Itachi put Orochimaru in genjutsu before he attacked him with eye contact. </p>

Sage mode does give you speed boost just see Sage kabuto x itachi/sasuke fight.

<p>I'm not denying it gives you a speed boost, and I watched the fight, and it was mostly reaction speed Kabuto showed because of his danger perception. Either way Itachi doesn't have speed or reaction speed on these guys par so it really doesn't matter here. </p>

<p>@Rachin look at every Demonic Illusion in Itachis arsenal, they all state it doesn't require eye contact. Not just that one. </p>

<p>Well lets see Shishi </p><p>1. Demonic Illusion Crows: The only one I believe will work well but Itachi won't be able to harm him and using the Totsuka Blade is a last resort. I'm sure the 3rd Raikage would gave already figured out it was a genjutsu and break or he might get broken out of it by Itachi's jutsus. Even if Itachi's attacks does nothing to the Raikage but knock him to the floor, that can get him out. </p><p>2. Demonic Illusion Heaven and Earth Change: A jutsu that can only be used when genjutsu is used on him so it's useless here. </p><p>3. Demonic Illusion Shackling Stakes Technique: Highly doubt this will work when Itachi will not be abke to catch the 3rd Raikage with eye contact with his speed. </p>

<p>well itachi doesn't need to catch him, as far as I remember that raikage isn't very intelligent, if he burns his Susanoo armor from outside with amaterasu and definitely this guy would go for kill he will surely die from the burns caused by Amaterasu also once he starts burning he won't move because of pain than he can start using genjutsu after extinguishing the flames. also he can burn nearby area completely with Amaterasu and wait for the raikage(in Susanoo) to attack once he comes he can just catch that guy before/immediate after the attack and throw him there. either way raikage would lose </p>

<p>@Namikaze Says what proof. The Third Raikage hasn't shown to be unintelligent. He's not like his son who is pretty reckless. Once again Itachi doesn't have have Kagutsuchi so no cladding his Susanoo with Amaterasu. Also, when the 3rd Raikage's arm was burned it did no damage immediately, ge didn't even feel it but knew that keeping it on will mean spreading and eventual pain so he chopped it off and that didn't even harm him. So the Amaterasu even if it somehow hit the 3rd Raikage, it isn't harming him any time soon with his durability. Also, Itachi would want to extinguish Amaterasu for his own safety as the 3rd Raikage can cause his Susanoo to catch ablaze or himself. </p>

<p>So let me get this straight. Is the third raikage suddenly this perfectly infallible person because he can't be touched due to his " overwhelming speed" and the the fact thathe has his " invincible shield". So he can dodge every and any attack and also block any and every attack too for eternity?Because I'm just gonna point that by this logic, he is invincible against any opponent. First off, there isn't even much evidence he is as fast as his son. The only people he blitzed successfully were fodder, and anyone can blitz those. The third raikage was known in particular for his shield and spear, not for immense speed. His son never attribute d him as the fastest one around. The third raikage still is extremely fast of course, but his speed is being overhyped. Secondly, I knew you guys would reference him making amaterasu a non factor in a situation where his son saw the technique coming. Sasuke was dumb enough to open with amaterasu knowing the raikage was looking right in his eyes and it was obvious it was coming. When you are facing a speedy opponent, the point is to either use an area of effect attack or hit him with an attack he doesn't see coming. Sasuke didnt even make a distraction, he just assumed he was gonna solo a kage level shinobi with one obvious attack. First of all, itachi doesn't use amaterasu as his go to technique, and his fighting style is different and more subtle. He isn't gonna use amaterasu in a situation when he knows the raikage sees it coming and will casually dodge. Like I said, since some of you insist he will open with a blitz, the fight ends pretty quickly as he blitzes top speed into great clone explosion, in which he becomes disoriented. And with that distraction, he will be nice and still for an amaterasu to the face /head, which the raiton armor was proven not to protect against. He will suffer from burning eyes, head, throat, etc, so he won't be fighting anymore. And Secondly, even when blitzing at top speed, the 4th raikage slowed down for a moment when sasuke threatened him with a dangerous attack. And in that moment, he isn't moving at blinding speed, and can be caught by any genjutsu of itachi's choice. Itachi doesnt use ephemeral " often" because he has a wide variety of genjustu to choose from. The only fights we have seen itachi go all out in he used regular genjustu or tsyukyomi because that sufficed for the situation. So itachi just needs to threaten raikage with a dangerous attack to make him hesitate, and then from there it's over. </p>
