Very powerful, feared, and amazing. Who do YOU think would win when both are in their prime?

fourth, no doubt
I think it would be a tie
R.I.P Captain America.
i go with the 4th
fourth.....
cuz fourth would just call out gamabunta, and gamabunta will just JUMP on itachi. THE END.
Well Naruto can summon it too, and i don't think Naruto can really kill Itachi(unless his ninetails power saves him, which it probably would...) , but I'm pretty sure Itachi would have some way to win against even gamabuntaOriginally posted by: jing

i think, such a large size would be a disadvantage in certain situation especially for someone who is extremely fast as itachi.
My whole question was dodged in an infantile fashion, KonoCorps. It's not bullshit to wonder why a supposedly 'godlike' character had to abandon his goal for the time being .. who was RIGHT THERE in front of him. Mange sharingan draining? Sure, but shouldn't someone as 'godlike' be able to go ahead and achieve their mission? Jiraiya was already weakened, and probably used another decent bit of chakra with the stomach summoning. Sasuke was toast, and Naruto is not even on the same level. So you end up with 2 v 1 effectively, and the 1 already injured. It's pretty fishy all the way around.
I think the bottom line is that this is FICTION, and being subject to the whims of Kishimoto's imagination rather than to pure harsh logic, odd things will happen that don't always make sense. Take from it what you will, but don't throw a tantrum just because someone doesn't agree with you.
who the hell voted for itachi? i'm a big itachi fan but even i know that the 4th can whoop everyone's ass. PERIOD.
mm wait a minuite!
if im right, the THIRD (not the fourth) is said to be the strongest among the Hokages.
And the third defeated Orochimaru, but sacrifised his own life.
Orochimaru is weeker than Itachi, if you believe Oros words.
basically: Fourth is said to be weaker than the third who barelly could defeat Orochimaru, whos (as I said before) weaker than Itachi.
You just have to compare the information.
It doesn't always work like that though. Think of Rock/Paper/Scissors.
Scissors > Paper, and Rock > than Scissors. Does that mean Rock > Paper? No.
So just because the 4th is slightly weaker than the 3rd doesn't mean he's weaker than Itachi also. Plus, your information is incorrect, because when the 3rd barely beat Oro he was a weak, old man. The 3rd in his prime wouldn't have any trouble.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
The third barely beated Oro because he was too old. Remember even Oro said that if the third was just 10 years older he would have beaten him. He didn't even mention what would have happenend if the third was his prime. I bet that Oro will be toasted in seconds. N o disrespect to Oro, he is a powerful ninja, but the 3rd wasn't called the god of shinobi for nothing.
Anyway 4th vs Itachi, dunno really, but I'll go with 4th.
The 4th [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Itachi = good but extremely overrated at this point
Remember what Anko said in the tower of death?
she said that if the 4th was around then there would be no problems,implying that the 4th was considerably stronger than anyone else around, even Orochimaru, so Itachi shouldn't be that diffrent for him to take care of.
I'll give my2 cents for the 4th hokage, just cuz i feel like it...
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
She might have said that because of the confidence he inspired, it's been said that he's a great leader and inspires confidence and happiness in his people.
Plus, he was in his prime. I think the 4th vs Itachi would be a great battle, pretty close, but the 4th would win. It's really difficult to say, because we haven't seen all of Itachi's abilities, and we've NEVER seen the 4th fight, save the kyuubi sealing, and that wasn't even a proper fight.
It's kind of funny that a VS. thread has been made for two characters we don't know the abilities of. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yep CmDr_RavEn has an excellent point, we have gotten to see very little of either.
The main reasons I have for choosing the 4th is that you don't get to be Hokage for nothing, especially to replace the 3rd! If the 4th had reached a strength greater than the 3rd due to the 3rds advancing age (13 years earlier?), then the 3rd nearly defeated Orochimaru AND the 1st AND the 2nd .. after getting OLDER... then .. I would say that the 4th must have been one hell of a force to reckon with.
Itachi seems very over-rated. The reason? He has goals, he came for them and FAILED. He had to run away twice already. This is an indication of his intelligence, which I would rate as high, considering he doesn't want to risk defeat against very powerful opponents. This is also an indication of his weakness, because if he was truly god-like, he would simply have already taken what he wants.
I'm not sure, but I think it's a misunderstanding that the 3rd is stronger than the 4th. I think it was meant that the 3rd in his prime was stronger than the others before him, which doesn't include Itachi. If the 3rd were stronger than the 4th then it probably would've been him that took care of Kyubi.
It will be tie as hell but fourth will summon the deathgod and he'll do some awesome technique that he've never showned before, but still it will be the battle of the century, it's the hardest opponent for yondaime.
Thats an interesting way to look at it. I took it that the 3rd was getting old, and his powers were weakening with age, so that a point was reached where it was logical for the 3rd to retire when the 4th exceeded his strength. With that logic, then at the time of the Kyuubi attack, the 4th may have been the strongest nin available at that time.
Seems like ...
the 3rd's advantages are .. determination, knowledge of very many jutsu
the 4th's advantages are .. summoning, rasengan, huge chakra, youth
stop arguing this...we're talking about the 4th here...itachi can't win you clowns!
