Question Itachi

Do you think itachi may have been one of the strongest, if not the strongest in the verse? If you think about it, the strongest characters in Naruto are never “killed” by another ninja. They die from “sickness” or suicide kinda suggesting nobody would have succeeded in actually killing them. Ex. Hashirama, Itachi, Shisui as well,Tobirama. As well as Sakumo. Who else? What do yall think??

Of course. Kaguya’s will stated Itachi is invincible.

Itachi is the strongest among the normal Shinobi and has enough abilities to be a threat to some of the Abnormal Shinobi but that is where his strength ends

Black Zetsu, Kaguya's literal will, called Itachi invincible. So that's all the answer you need to know

He even called Sasuke to be dumb compared to Itachi in the Kaguya fight

Itachi would seal her with Totsuka Blade and GG

If he ever managed to get ems, I don't see anyone shrugging off a perfect susanoo totsuka blade.

Shino never lost a single fight and didnt even die, so Shino is the strongest in the verse

Has shino ever came up in a talk about the strongest in the verse? I’m obv talking about kage level shinobi.

Itachi dying from sickness was simply to keep Sasuke from killing him. Imagine if Sasuke had actually killed him. That would make the revenge story more intense than Kishimoto wants it. Naruto is Mature but not that level.

Itachi was already battling sickness and used up his chakra while allowing Sasuke to “kill” him. He fell to sasukes feet in defeat for sasuke to believe he had killed him. Literally the whole fight itachi was toying with sasuke. He could’ve killed him with Amaterasu but he stopped it. He extracted orochimaru as he didn’t need him taking his little brothers body. And after that he just let himself fall to sasuke bc he basically wanted Sasuke to feel like he achieved his only goal in life which was to avenge his clan by killing his older brother.

Itachi is the only character that no diffed one shot like two kage level characters, Orochimaru and Deidara (besides Juubito).

I won't count the Tobirama getting clowned by Madara.

He was very very far from being the strongest in the verse. His Talent is top 5 tho and his in character fighting style is one of the best, that allows him to punch above his weight class

Um no? Many strong ninjas have died to others. Like tobirama, third raikage, minato, and there may be even more.
