Seeing as the Third is dead...Itachi. And even if he hadn't died fighting Oro, he still would have lost.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Sarutobi as he was just before he died would lose to Itachi, although I think it'd be a close call.
Sarutobi in his prime would have bitchslapped Itachi to the next dimension.
I agree with anphorus. To make the fight fair, make Sarutobi younger.
Oh yes, Itachi is always running away like Sapphire said.
His time is up. Sasuke is up for another famly re-union.
I don't know if Sarutobi could bitchslap Itachi. I don't think Sarutobi could defend against the mangyeku sharingan unless he closed his eyes, which is a disadvantage for him.
Someone as smart as him would figure out how to fight him without looking at his eyes, like Gai did. I mean come on, he was the leader of the village that held the uchiha clan back when it was konohas second most powerful clan, he is bound to know alot about the sharingan and mangekyou sharingan. (I would imagine that the Hokage would have the "clearance" to be allowed to see the uchiha clans records that they kept in their secret meeting place, which told about the mangekyou)Originally posted by: God#2

Wrong again. Sarutobi would come back in spirit form and F*** Itachi and everyone up. NOOB!Originally Posted by XanBcoo

You call someone else a noob when you post like a noob yourself. Wow.
I don't think they have 'spirit' forms on Naruto.

anyways I think we dont know enough about itachi... but from what iv seen, it would be a hell of a fight. I do NOT think that having a blood line gives you the win... any one that does is missing one of the Main points of Naruto. Go back to the Neji - Naruto battle lol.
blood line limits are awsome but are not all powerful. Itachi's Mangeku (sp?) is one of teh most awsome effects of a Blood Line Limit but it is not unbeatable. The 3rd is the "professor" and is thus smart enough to possibly figure out how to beat it.
In teh end if the 3rd was young, he would win... the current (before dieing) 3rd... now that would be a hard battle....
We don't even really know know how strong Itachi is. How many battles have we seen him struggle in? He always runs away before he can get seriously harmed. (Smart)

1. itachi told sasuke to look there for secret of sharingan
2. sarutobi was the hokage, you dont have secret underground meetings without his permission first
3. ??
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

to know about the mangyeku sharingan is one thing, but to own it and use is another thing. no matter how much the third would know about it, he wouldn't know it to the full extent, because he does not own it. itachi on the other hand would not only know it, but probably be able to use it to the full extent, to the point where it wouldn't be written down in scrolls. at this point for all we know, the eye could've proabably reached a "new level" that we don't know about or anyone else in naruto.

Orochimaru himself admitted that he was no match for Itachi
Orochimaru killed Sarutobi,
Ergo, Itachi would have also killed Sarutobi, and with ease, i might add
Yeah this syllogism pretty much sums it up
That doesnt sum anything up.. You should take into account how a ninja's weaknesses complement the enemy's strengths, and not only that, but Sarutobi became a Hokage when he was a child. You honestly think Itachi would easily beat the third? That's plain absurd.Originally posted by: splash

I give this to Sarutobi for experience, I think he'd have a way to counter the Mangekyou.

MS is overrated. A quick sand in Itachi 's eye and he is a sitting duck waiting to be shoot. He even cant use it for long.
Foolish Hokage, you lack pubes.......
I definatly agree with you that each ninja has his stregnths/weaknesses, which makes this show interesting. Its not like just: "I HAVE A POWER LEVEL OF 1 MILLION" "OH YEAH, WELL I HAVE A POWER LEVEL OF 2 MILLION!!!HYAAAAAA!!!"Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel

Really? Sarutobi became Hokage when he was a kid? Never knew that.
No, I doubt he could avoid the MS without closing his eyes.
Well I think Sarutobi would win in his prime, wasn't he like called the professor for knowing all the Konoha jutsu? One of them must have been good to counter MS.
Seconded.Originally posted by: splash

I also think its pretty clear that a the 3rd would lose this one. And I don't think making the 3rd younger in the fight would make a difference. Sure he would be faster, stronger, etc, but he'd then be lacking the wisdom and experience that made him so good in his old age.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Orochimaru clearly said Itachi is stronger than him.
Itachi's speed is yet unmatched*as far as we know*, his Sharingan is the most advanced, I think, and, not only that, his abilty in Tai,Gen, and Nin Jutusu are all WAY above elite.
Sandaime was the strongest of the Four Hokage's. He knew every jutsu in Konoha, and probably others, and his chakra, even is his old age, was almost equal to that of Orochimaru, who can summon the snake-like equivelent of Gamabunta, and not even feel it.
Sandaime also has Yandaime's Death God Seal, which is most likely the strongest sealing jutsu. His speed is great, also.
But, he does not have an Advanced Blood-line Abilty like Uchiha Itachi.
I think, in all honesty, Itachi would win, with little trouble.
