I said he COULD kill Oro, not that he WOULD 100% no questions asked in a hypothetical fight, that's just ridiculous. No one ever said Itachi beat Oro in Akatsuki, we don't know that.
I think it's this inferiority complex of Oro's...he's so jealous that Itachi has a tool like the mangekyou sharingan that he's putting more value into the doujutsu than perhaps it even deserves.

From what we've seen of Oro's mind transfer jutsu, it seems to leave him rather open to counterattack, so in order to transfer to Itachi Orochimaru would have to beat him down in a fight (as he sure as hell wouldn't go willingly). There are two problems to this. 1) Itachi is a threat, Orochimaru wants immortality, which means that he wouldn't risk himself in a fight. He only fought the Third because he was sure he could beat him without a lage risk of him dying. 2) In order to beat Itachi in a fight he would have to injure him substantially which isn't a good idea if you are going to be occupying that body.
And the point I just raised also applies to the "Itachi" is stronger thing. Orochimaru needs immortality to achive his goals, therefor he would be afraid of taking too big a risk when fighting Itachi, so naturally he would consider him "stronger" since in order to just kill Itachi he doesn't have to worry about himself, it wouldn't matter if he died in the process, whereas since he needs to survive, it's a much larger risk.
Hhhmmmm...... you have a point, except that I dont think Orochimaru is the kind of villian to have an inferiority complex. He always seems superior. And if he himself said that he thinks that he would lose i think he knows his own power to make good judgement on whether or not he could win.Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel

BOTTOM LINE.
It would have been better if Oro took Itachi's body and Kyuubi. All mangekyou Kyuubi. Oohh.

That would be the biggest ownage eva. The only people who could deal with that are the uber nutz super poweredtastic dbz characters! ZOMG! IT SHOULD NEVER RESORT TO THAT!
