<p>This would be a good fight, I think, but it'd be pretty one-sided. Itachi was able to do so much when he was severely ill, so I doubt a healthy version of him would be beat by Kakashi. Kakashi wouldn't make it easy, but I find it hard to doubt Itachi in this battle. </p><p>But I will say that Kakashi's stamina by the end of SWW4 was pretty impressive. So impressive that I'd say even he might be able to outlast Itachi in a drawn out fight. Not only that, I think his abilities are more suited towards just the regular Sharingan, whereas Itachi has more reliance on the Mangekyou. </p><p>Idk. I really wanna say close fight. In my very personal opinion, I think it'd be severely close. But, Kakashi is my favorite so I'm pretty biased, and I know most other users would argue more in Itachi's favor. IDK. Let's see what everyone else thinks. </p>

<p>Yeah Kakashi's my favourite too. But my gut feeling tells that Itachi takes this fight. But the thing is, we've seen so little of Itachi's abilities outside of his MS jutsus. So I wanted to know what possible jutsus and strategies Itachi would use to defeat Kakashi. </p><p>There's genjutsu, of course, and Itachi is a master of that art even without the MS. Itachi can cast genjutsu on an entire battalion or platoon outside of a sensor's field. And even assuming that such a genjutsu can only be possible through the enhancement of the Mangekyo Sharingan, that feat still places Itachi leagues ahead of Kakashi in terms of genjutsu. </p><p>What would be interesting to discuss is how Itachi could beat Kakashi using ninjutsu and taijutsu. We know his shuriken jutsu is masterly. But does Itachi have any non-MS ninjutsu that can take out Kakashi? </p>

<p>Dunno if you guys watched Itachi`s past yet the Naruto arc that is based off of that novel but Itachi`s feats seen there pretty much spells out how he can fight kinda without MS. He was good enough as a child to best anbu members in combat so that is quite something. I have to give it to Itachi here with little effort against Kakashi an ill Itachi in part 1 completely dominated Kakshi with just taijutsu and ninjutsu. </p><p>Also to note Kakashi is not a natural user of sharingan so his stamina drops very fast with even basic sharingan Itachi`s can last near infinite so yeah Itachi he beats Kakshi in nearly everything especially speed. </p>

<p>In their battle in part 1 itachi was pressuring kakashi very well without using Any MS technique , of course kakashi got a lot stronger since then , but the same could be said about itachi , kakashi doesn't have any non-ms jutsu to kill itachi , I don't think Kakashi would be able to land a raikiri/chidori against itachi's speed </p>

<p>But hasn't Part 2 Kakashi caught up with Itachi with regards to speed? His speed definitely improved. I'm not sure if it improved enough to put him in par with Itachi. So if Kakashi has caught up to Itachi's speed, then doesn't that make them roughly equal in the ninjutsu and taijutsu department? Of course, genjutsu is what's going to finish Kakashi off. But I wanna know your opinions on how Kakashi and Itachi compare when it comes to ninjutsu and taijutsu. </p>

Really good fight. I think Itachi will win.
