「Akatsuki battle」Itachi x Kisame vs Konoha,Kakashi underestimate Itachi's Genjutsu and pay the price

Even Itachi knew how really strong our Might Guy by saying "Don't underestimate him"

it s incredible how strong and far ahead itachi is compared to literally all his opponents

Itachi had little reason to smile, with his life being, being such a sad show, but when Kurenai used Genjutsu against him, he probably wanted to laugh out loud

Itachi is such a gentleman he even knocks the door before kidnapping naruto

In itachi's heart : "i'm sorry naruto, i'm just undercover. I'm gonna protect you and sasuke. Hokage's order"

Kurenai showing genjutsu to itachi is the biggest joke in naruto history

When you don't underestimate Guy, he give you a respect and remember your name...

0:16 - I like this moment. Kakashi was so aware of the situation that he's basically telling Itachi: "I know it is you. Don't try anything here"

I miss this. All characters are unique. THough the plot armor, it really hype things up!

I like how Itachi was holding back but he was just polite

Other villains: you are about to die so you don't need to know my name Kisame: I may be a villain but I was raised properly. Allow me to introduce myself.

Even Itachi wouldn't mess with Gai, even in a 2 v 1 lmao. To think back then we thought Gai as "kakashi's equal" when the guy could take on the entire akatsuki by himself

The fights in this periods were 10 timed better than the war.

My God, to think Itachi took on several of Konoha's elite including a Sannin while his body is slowly succumbing to an illness. He's pretty much near unfathomable in terms of strength and intelligence

Honestly they had zero chance until Guy arrived.

I keep coming back to this episode. Still one of the best revealing moments in the series. So much information and new skills going on here. Itachi, Kurenai, Kakashi, jiraiya... Very exciting.

Kisame and Itachi : We want Naruto Jiraiya : Don't matter, you won't make it 2 minutes later Itachi : Run kisame run.

Only itachi knows the true power of mighty guys😁

People keep saying how Kurenai used Genjutsu on Itachi as a joke. 1) back then, the information on Uchiha clan is not that widely known, even between Konoha’s shinobi, as well as to us, the readers. So no wonder she tried to use genjutsu, which is her strongest move. 2) Kurenai is a rookie Jonin. During the chunin exam arc, it was mentioned that she is new here and she didn’t even know about the proctor (i forgot the name of that man, the guy with a scar on his face). Asuma even had to explain about that proctor and how strict his examination methods were. So I’m sure Kurenai didn’t have much of the high level intel, maybe including the intel on Uchiha clan 3) she is a great genjutsu user. Although it is not much shown in manga, we can see how she could use her genjutsu in the filler episodes. She easily put a lot of the jonin level shinobi under her jutsu easily. So, all in all, that’s all she could do to oppose Itachi and she tried her best.

7:21 that's exactly why i love jiraiya so much. He's like gone for weeks/months without knowing where he is but in the situation where is needed but u don't thinks he's coming, he is there. <3 i love jiraiya with my whole heart. Forever. (even he got some random woman on his side)
