No, he was able to use it consciously at the end. Oro saying he mastered it.
Not impressed kid, you missed some important things not watching the anime.
You haven't watched the anime have you? because if you did you would not have missed that. You seem to be one of those kids who take Viz, Kishi, and Studio Pierrot as being wrong and you being right over them xD
His vision was damn near blind, the manga panels even showed you his vision. He could not see Sasuke from that distance and he only looked up because of sudden light. I'm much smarter than you, proven in other threads. Your grammar and contextual ability is sad. Insult me again Lorenzo and we will really have a problem kid.
He was blind, he didn't see shit coming, he only heard the sky crackling and looked up. Stop using that made up bs.
Shisui did, not Itachi. Read the comment again.
The only person who can come close to that is Shisui, he defeated Ao's platoon from such a distance with Genjutsu that it took the Byakugan to see his chakra signature for Ao to know it was him. Itachi could do the same thing apparently.
Itachi was a shinobi who had a unique ability according to Kabuto, he could discern lies very easily, and could also deceive others with ease. Something he noted Itachi was very great at. Itachi was also able to move undetected by sensor type shinobi, as the sensor division wondered if he was in their range, and that if he wasn't they said he could still be controlling a mass amount of Shinobi from outside of the sensor divisions range and was the only Shinobi who could do that.
Yes, Itachi can form Susanoo faster than real lightning strikes.
Madara could have been Hokage easily, he just let his hate ruin everything. Itachi could have easily been Hokage too, Shisui would be the "Shadow Hokage" like Sasuke is for Naruto.
No, stating his weaknesses are such as "low chakra" undermining the facts and his abilities like you are doing, is speculation. If you're not going actually contribute to the thread then get tf on somewhere. I haven't seen one actual, factual and decent comment from you yet. You came to THIS thread to try and dismantle everything, not to contribute. What the hell is wrong with you?
I don't love Itachi, I simply hate it when people take certain characters and shit on them. Like Nagato, or Shisui, or Orochimaru, or Toneri etc.. if the facts aren't given for each character it's the same as underestimating them. Now the people who say MS Itachi could beat Sage Mode Hashirama.. I hate those people too because NOBODY using an MS could challenge Hashirama simply because of the MS's drawbacks and who Hashirama is. You guys think I am wanking Itachi because I'm not letting you downplay him and his character but that's simply wrong.
Kurenai's knowledge of Genjutsu is on Itachi's level. But since he is a Sharingan master he is above her. Also the Databook numbers are tiers, not levels. Kurenai and Itachi, along with Orochimaru are on the 5th tier in Genjutsu but everyone knows Itachi is better than they are.
Itachi's hand movements and hand-seal speed are unmatched thus far, and he can also make techs with one handed seals. His bodily speed is enough to keep up with KCM Naruto in a taijutsu scuffle and that was while he was a weaker incarnation of himself(edo tensei) He doesn't need much time at all to devise strategies, find weaknesses, and exploit them. He instantly figured out how the Rinnegan has linked vision with all of its summons and etc and he instantly used his master shuriken/kunai jutsu abilities and speed to blind the Rinnegan Summons. He also figured out the easiest and best way to stop chibaku tensei and cleverly used the dust from the explosion to instantly use Susanoo and sword of totsuka seal controlled Edo Nagato. He also held back as to not kill Sage Mode Kabuto, while at different points saving EMS Sasuke, and working his way towards his two goals... Save Kabuto and release Edo Tensei and he did both. Kabuto himself said compared to the other Edo Tensei including white haired crippled Edo Nagato(not including Rinnegan and Wood Release Edo Madara of course) Itachi was on a different level. That statement did not leave out ANY of the other Edo including the past Kage Edo's Kabuto summoned. Minato's performance in the war was kind of lackluster, he did show better foot speed than Hashi, Tobi, Old Hiruzen, Sasuke and Orochimaru and I liked that they at least did that for Minato so he wasn't just shown doing the same shit as before(Nine Tails attack flashback, and Kakashi Gaiden) but outside of his FTG, Kurama usage and that one foot speed feat.. he hasn't done much to merit me thinking he could defeat a Shinobi like Itachi. Itachi isn't rash and angry like 4th Raikage, he isn't some fodder like in Kakashi Gaiden, he is not a 14 year old Obito, and he has better Genjutsu and is faster than Pre-TTJ Obito. If this was EMS Sasuke.. I give Minato the win no doubt. But a no disease, full eyesight and health MS Itachi is much different.
Rachin, if they keep with the Itachi hate. Can you delete their comments and give them warnings? This thread is clearly not where they belong.
Back to topic.
Itachi has as of yet proven unmatched hand-seal speed and hand movement speed, as Sasuke needed
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Lightning_Flash_Blade_Creation
to keep up with him and even then Itachi moved so incredibly fast he was able to make hand seals, move and attack from behind Sasuke, all this while he was near blind and near death.
Hence he has outsped Sasuke multiple times. He was able to keep up with KCM Naruto in a Taijutsu scuffle. ONLY Shisui is put beside Itachi in Genjutsu mastery and prowess, while only Itachi can cast and control others with Genjutsu outside of the Sensor divisions range. Itachi can plant timed Genjutsu's and activate them when he pleases, he knows and can use Izanami, he at the least knows of Izanagi and how it works.
He can't answer that, so he's onto trolling. You don't know mcpowa on here well enough, but he's a smartass troll who hates Itachi and Hiruzen with a passion. He also likes to vie against anybody I support in vs threads, Nagato isn't safe from his bs either.
Not at all, show me where it says Minato is a genjutsu specialist/master or that he is skilled in it.. wait you simply won't find it. So that means a master genjutsu user like Itachi is a serious problem for him.
