You dont have to buy into my theory, but we do have to use
common sense in certain situations when dealing with Kishi and this manga.
He uses his characters to state
ALOT of Hyperbole and Bullsht to hype OTHER characters.
You know, kind of like this
or like when Itachi lied to Sasuke and said you had to kill your best friend to achieve MS. We cant take everything someone says as the undeniable TRUTH.
Alot of the time KISHI's making this sht up as he goes along without planning ahead, which leads to inconsistencies and power fluctuations later on, that fck up the story.
That's bound to happen with a story going on this long though
But now that we've seen the
FULL power of both Itachi and Kisame, their ultimate attacks and everything, do
you still think it makes sense for someone of their power level to flee in terror from BASE Jiraiya?
I want to hear from
you........ take in everything we've seen so far from the characters now that they've all revealed their ultimate attacks, powers and all, and tell me,
Can
Itachi+
Kisame (same time together) battle SAGE Jiriya and win?
If yes, then why did they run?
Also,
Sage Mode has 1
HUGE weakness no one ever talks about, and against higher tiered ninjas, is a
SERIOUS disadvantage.
For Jiriya, not only does it take a while to "activate" Sage mode,
he has to have his hands clasped together for awhile.
No Seals/Jutsus.
Unlike, say, Itachi, who can use his strongest attacks right away and in an instant.
We've seen Itachi fight 4 times (-Not even all out)
He's defeated 4 S-rank Ninjas (Diedra/Oro 2x/Kakashi), all in less then 2 minutes.
He's looking to end things quickly, so he's not just going to sit back and wait for Jiriya to finish.
So how will Jiriya fight with his hands together, looking away from Itachi, gather chakra, with 2 S-rank ninjas coming after him, with one shot kill powers?
Which brings me to this....
So you're saying he'll call on a Boss (Frog) Summon, and have it fight Itachi+Kisame, while he chills on top of the Boss Summon gathering Sage chakra, right?
ok, So Boss Summon vs Itachi/Kisame.
Well, if Kisame decides to pull off this move,
you know Jiriya's Fcked, right?
While the Boss Summon may be able to for a little while, Jiriya cant breath underwater, and I'm pretty sure he's going to unclasp his hands to try to get his ass up outta there.
Which he cant do until he defeats Kisame, and times a ticking in that situation. With Itachi on the sideline waiting for an opening.
But let's use Itachi vs Boss Summon....
I assume the Boss Summon will fight with the same weapon (Staff/Sword?) he fought against animal Pein's animals? correct?
This is your example after all...
If Itachi brings out Susanoo + Totsuka Sword, you know the Boss Summon cant fight him, right?
Because if he tries to get into a "sword/staff fight" with Itachi holding the Totsuka Sword, the Totsuka Sword
will faze right through his weapon and hit him, sealing the Boss Summon.
And jiraiya will be back at square 1.
Now if Itachi and Kisame actually decide to attack at the same time?
So yeah, it looks dumb as hell for Itachi and Kisame to be running for their lives like scared little children, with the powers they have at this point in the manga.
But thats Kishi for you.
Yeah, because Sasuke STOPPED it.
Amertasu dosent vaporize you on the spot.

Yeah, because Sasuke fcked up when he cut off a tentacle that
didnt have Amatersaru on it, and Bee was able to "switch" to that part of
HIS body that was cut off, (kishi magic). He didnt "replace" anything, he just left his orininal body to another part. You cant get hit with Amertasu and switch places with say, a log.
If Jiryia wants to cut off an arm before the fight and store it in the bushes "just in case", I'm pretty sure Itachi wouldnt mind.
Show me a feat in the manga where Sage Mode can make you
move faster then the speed of light

Who said any of this?
this is why i started debating with you about 3 posts ago on why you think Jman is on a tier above Itachi ....
That statement to me implies you think Itachi couldnt do
anything to a SAGE Mode Jiriya.
Like if they fought, it's gonna be on some 5 Gate Lee vs Gaara sht

, where Gaara cant even react fast enough or even knows what the hell is going on, looking around all confused and sht.
So I've been giving you for the last 2 or 3 posts about a 1000 different ways Itachi can "fight" a Sage Mode Jiriya and win.
I never said Jiriya
couldnt win.
If they fought 10 times, they'd probably split the series.
But I'm not buying that stuff at all.
Itachi's too damn powerful.
The only reason he isnt on Tier 2 is because of his Chakra level.
Ultimate Defense (Yata's Mirror/Susanoo) + Ultimate Offense (Totsuka Sword- Amaterasu - Tsukuyomi) + SPAM = Tier 2
