"which leads me to my other thought... if gai isn't affected by the Mangekyou Sharingan.. then he has some type of advantage... if itachi had no sharingan at all... it would be like my example with kurenai.... itachi would just be an S ranked individual like kisame... but without the mangekyou sharingan... he still has his normal see-through-pretty-much-anything sharingan and his S rank ninja skills.... just minus one super strong technique.... gai would still have to deal with all of that giving him less of a chance of winning.... however it doesn't give itachi a sure 100% win... and like i said in Naruto... it seems like the underdog sometimes wins over seemingly stronger opponents... so give gai some credit"
meaning without mangekyou sharingan itachi loses his 100% victory... if you read it i mentioned that he still has his normal sharingan eyes which gai would still have to deal with...... if gai looking at onyl feet was a complete disadvantage he wouldn't even win against kakashi... but he can... because he is skilled with taijutsu and has learned to predict things.... therefore it DOES work
he kicked kurenai's ass because he still has S ranked abilities (as in high level ninja skills) plus kurenai is not a specialist in ninjutsu.. she used a genjutsu which was easily countered by the normal sharingan eyes... what i said makes sense... he DOESN'T have 100% chance winning... that's like saying... he can own anyone on naruto... why would you have a character that can not be defeated by anyone or even matched by anyone... or even have anyone put upa decent fight... that's like saying itachi is god... his mangekyou sharingan is what gives him the sure win.. because nobody (at this point) can counter it... take that away... he just has sharingan which can be dealt with... although with some degree of difficulty... so my point that he does not have a 100% guaranteed win still makes sense... maybe 99% win... maybe even less... maybe even just a "highly likely" but he does NOT have a 100% chance of winning if his mangekyou sharingan is disabled...
ond ok.. itachi is 17 years old... that further supports that he has had far less time in his life to aquire supreme mastery of every technique there is... genius or not... it doesn't put him so far above every character that he can whoop all their asses.... so like i said... gai deserves some credit because he can put some fight against itachi...
edit.... itachi telling kisame not to underestimate gai still shows that itachi thinks highly of gai..... if itachi is telling a criminal with S ranked (high level) techniques to not underestimate a jounin.. then that jounin must be able to put up a fight against someone of that rank... though itachi still has sharingan.. which is difficult to deal with... his level of ninja techniques should be around the same level of kisame maybe a little more.. but still around the same level.... if gai can put a fight up against kisame... he can probably put up a fight against itachi... but itachi's eyes give him more advantage giving gai less of a chance of winning... but it doesn't mean itachi has a definate win.... people slip up... someone can be caught by surprise... etc etc... since gais technique eliminates itachi's only sure fire(as in.... no matter what you do if i use this technique you lose) way of winning... gai prevents him from having 100% victory...
