it might not be in this episode cuz i didn't see it yet, but kisame does ask itachi why HE [itachi] has to retreat from jiraiya... so... kisame is a contradicting retard.

Kisame is contradicting or not ,Fact is Fact, Itachi retreats(from what u stated)

if you mix onpinion into fact, and say things about his personality
then you have to consider oro's personality. (a guy who is obsessed with Jutsu)

what are you trying to prove.

Im trying to prove the samething as u, as to why you replied.



You replied cuz ur one of the ppl that thinks itachi is the strongest char introduce so far . (from unbias perspective)I just wanted to point out there is no conclusive evidence or u can say there is contradictory evidence.

i still don't get what you're trying to prove. this is probably my fault, but just explain more.

and you say that: if i (maybe you were using 'you' generally) mix opinions into fact, and say things about his personality then i'd (or you generally) have to consider oro's personality...

but i'm not saying anything about anyone's personality. i don't see the correlation between someone contradicting himself (given that you were talking about kisame) and a guy who is obsessed with jutsus and i don't know how you can relate it to what we're talking about. also, what does itachi retreating have anything to do with this? it was clearly explained why he retreated and it shouldn't be significant.

man, it's hard to explain the thoughts in my head.

about the is jiraiya stronger or itachi stronger thing.. if itachi were truly stronger than jiraiya (which he even speaks as if he isnt), then he wouldnt have needed to say "even the most powerful have a weakness" and have gotten jiraiya distracted. And when Oro said "cuz itachi is stronger than me" he migth have meant that itachi was stronger than the state oro was in at the time , with his arms sealed and all.

[MemnochTheCaT]

That thought crossed my mind, OriginalKrn, except for one thing : he said that was the reason he left 'that' organization..

WHEN did Oro leave Akatsuki? I'm thinking it was a while back, which means when he still had the use of his arms. I sorta have a hard time picturing Oro stopping by the Akatsuki HQ on the way home from being gimped by the 3rd. Which means, Oro feared Itachi (again, questionable sanity is also possible with Oro, he has always been a bit 'off') even when he still had use of his arms, in all likelyhood.

Then again, could be a translation difficulty, with the actual meaning changing/being lost along the way. With Japanese, it happens frequently that there are statements which are EXTREMELY difficult to get the complete meaning changed to English.

All so ambiguous [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

so, ok.

at 12 years old, itachi massacres his whole clan, which is about 5 years ago (i believe itachi is 17). then we can assume that he peaced out on konoha and then became an s-rank criminal. so... anytime from now and 5 years ago, itachi joined akatsuki. anyway, i am almost positive and sure that orochimaru left akatsuki before he got his arms killed.

and let me repeat this for the 500th time... itachi distracted jiraiya, NOT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID, BUT TO AVOID CONFRONTATION AS HE WAS PLAYING IT SAFE AND SMART SINCE THEY WERE IN NO RUSH. the mission could've been a failure and nothing bad would've come out of it. we know this cuz if they had to capture naruto then and there, they would've stayed and fought.

god damnit, i had a real good 'when who left when and joined akatsuki when' theory last night right before i went to sleep... i forgot it now! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

[originalkrn]

well yeah i know itachi is extremely powerful. but he isnt unstoppable. Kishimoto isnt gonna have legendary nins only to have this guy on such a higher level. And even if Oro says Itachi is stronger... Oro's meaning of stronger = knowing all jutsus, which teh sharingan is capable of doing so. And lastly, even though Jiraiya may be stronger , he will not be the one to kill itachi no matter what. Sasuke has to. Its just impossible to believe otherwise since that is Sasuke's goal since the begining.

[MemnochTheCaT]

Yeap [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Although I DO think that Itachi totally botched this situation totally .. I mean Ninja are supposed to get in without being noticed, accomplish their mission, and get out. So far, pretty bad ..

[Hotsuma]

Itachi is stronger than Jiraiya. No buts and ifs about it. People just look at Itachi, and since he's related to Sasuke, somebody who makes Naruto (their favorite character) look bad, they try as hard as they can, to TWIST the words said in the manga. This is what Gotwoot should be renowned for. The Anti-Itachi sentiment.

Btw, I like Jiraiya more than Itachi, but I seriously don't think Jiraiya can really be able to fight off Itachi. And win.

no one said itachi is unstoppable... and you don't know if orochimaru meant that itachi is stronger cuz he has sharingan. it's a possibility, but not completely true. if orochimaru did mean that itachi was stronger cuz of the sharingan... why doesn't he say something about itachi's sharingan? orochimaru makes it completely clear that he doesn't want sasuke, but just his body (more specifically his sharingan). lately, the reason why i think jiraiya isn't stronger is because he is a good guy. it makes it way too easy for the good to win. the bad guys are always suppose to be stronger so that the good guys can become stronger and win in the end. i'm brilliant!

what are you trying to prove? i thought this discussion was over......

" NOT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID, BUT TO AVOID CONFRONTATION AS HE WAS PLAYING IT SAFE AND SMART SINCE THEY WERE IN NO RUSH"

again ur mixing onpinion into fact., this is what i ment about trying to analyze itachi's personality and use it as a fact. From a naked eye (prior to the confrontation) itachi admits facing jiriaya would risk his and kisame's lives. Then during battle , itachi retreats. But ur onpinion is, he wasnt afraid but he just wanted to avoid confrontation? im not saying thats right or wrong but thats just ur onpinion. Like i said b4, unless you are bias and look at evidence that favors itachi and neglect other facts that contradicts it, you should see there is no conclusive evidence that itachi is the strongest... not yet...

1) Itachi admits facing Jiriaya would risk his life
2) Itachi distracts Jiriaya away from Naruto
3) when confronted and Jiriaya started to show aggresiveness, Itachi retreats

what am i trying to prove? difference between fact and onpinon. Similiar to the topic that was going around , strongest and potential to be the strongest is 2 different things. *cough*

IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT THEY WERE IN NO RUSH TO CAPTURE NARUTO, THAT'S WHY THEY LEFT. dude, i'm just going by what it says, i'm not making random stuff up.

[DeluxSkillz]

so people the bottom line is, jiraiya is probably capable of fighting itachi that's all, kisame is not strong enough and when they escape from the frog's mouth they do this just to avoid any meaningless harm to themselves, this has been discussed so many times and the anime just brought up what we already knew a long time ago, jiraiya is capable of beating them but if they take advantage of jiraiya's weakeness they can beat him while suffering severe wounds
