“ | You're still too weak...You don't have enough hatred. | „ |
~ Itachi Uchiha[1] |
“ | Those Sharingan.....How much can you actually see? | „ |
~ Itachi Uchiha[2] |
“ | Every single one of us goes through life depending on and bound by our individual knowledge and awareness... and we call it reality. However, both knowledge and awareness are equivocal... one's reality might be another's illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies, don't you think? | „ |
~ Itachi Uchiha[3] |
“ | You are stronger, you have much more power, but you're forgetting something quite important. Remember...You know why the people of your village finally stopped hating and fearing you. You know why they finally accepted you as one of their own. It's because you showed you understood them. You fought for that acceptance. You said it was everyone who cares about you who helped you get where you are now. But if you forget that, if you become so powerful that you don't remember why you are now strong, you'll eventually become like Madara. No matter how powerful you become, never try to take it all on by yourself. You'll just fail. Your father was a great Hokage because of your mother, Kushina, and the others around him. You share your father's goals, yes? If that's true then you can't ever forget...Being Hokage is not about suddenly being recognized in your village, only those who are already recognized and admired will ever become Hokage. Never forget your friends. | „ |
~ Itachi to Naruto[4] |
“ | I've...always lied to you and asked you to forgive me...Deliberately keeping you at a distance by my own hand...Because...I didn't want you to get caught up in any of this. But now I think that perhaps you could have changed father and mother...And the rest of the Uchiha. If I had only come to you from the start, looked straight into your eyes, and told you the truth. With me, who failed, telling you all this now from above, it's not going to penetrate and sink in. But I want to impart at least this much truth to you...You don't ever have to forgive me...And no matter what you do from here on out, know this...I will love you always. | „ |
~ Itachi to his little brother, Sasuke Uchiha[5] |
Summary
Itachi Uchiha was a prodigy of Konohagakure's Uchiha clan. He became an international criminal after murdering his entire clan, sparing only his younger brother, Sasuke.
He then joined the international criminal organization Akatsuki, whose activity brought him into frequent conflict with Konoha and its ninja — including Sasuke, who sought to avenge their family.
Following his death, Itachi's motives were revealed to be more complicated than they seemed. His actions were only ever in the interest of his brother and village, remaining a loyal shinobi of Konohagakure to the very end.

Classification: Human, Shinobi
Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Itachi, like all Shinobi, is capable of using Chakra to enhance his strength to superhuman levels[9])
- Genius Intelligence
- Chakra Manipulation
- Statistics Amplification (Shinobi are capable of enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Shinobi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet[10][11][12])
- Surface Scaling and Water Walking (By focusing chakra at the soles of their feet, Shinobi can scale and cling to vertical surfaces, and even walk on water[13][14])
- Afterimage Creation, Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked. The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users. This creates the optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent and gives them an opening to flee or counterattack.[15][16][17][18][19] Itachi can also utilize his own variant of this technique, the Crow Clone Substitution,[20] which he prefers over the regular Substitution Jutsu due to its innate ability to confuse his opponent, which helps him create openings in combat[18])
- Minor Illusion Creation and Duplication (With the Clone Technique,[21] Shinobi can create illusionary duplicates of themselves that have no physical substance. He can also create Shadow[22] and Crow[18] Clones, which are identical clones that can aid him in combat, use his techniques, telepathically relay information back to him when they're destroyed, and act as distractions, among other things)
- Shapeshifting (With the Transformation Technique,[21] Shinobi can transform themselves into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects, such as weapons)
- Paralysis Inducement (With the Temporary Paralysis Technique,[23] Shinobi can completely paralyze their targets from close to mid range)
- Genjutsu Nullification (Shinobi can typically break free from and nullify non-ocular genjutsu by intentionally disrupting the flow of chakra[24] within their bodies)
- Stealth Mastery (The basis for all Shinobi skills is to "become invisible and eradicate yourself", in order to analyze your opponent and catch them off-guard.[25] He was able to create a Shadow Clone and sneak up on Kakashi and Kurenai without them realizing it.[22] He was able to attack and blind Nagato's summons from blind spots, and then catch Nagato himself off-guard before he could notice.[26] He can catch EMS Sasuke and Sage Mode Kabuto off-guard, despite their massively enhanced senses, as well as Kabuto's Sage-enhanced sensory abilities[18])
- Weapon Mastery, Superhuman Precision, and Marksmanship (All Shinobi are taught and trained to master Shuriken, Kunai, and many other ninja weapons in the Academy.[27][28][25] Itachi was stated to have excellent Shurikenjutsu,[29] and has demonstrated flawless accuracy from a very young age.[27] Can use Kunai with such flawless control to the point of being able to hit several targets with pinpoint accuracy, even being able to hit the Kunai in motion with other Kunai in order to change their trajectory and hit some of the targets hidden from his view.[30] He is capable of matching expert swordsmen like Kisame Hoshigaki and his Samehada blow for blow with a mere Kunai.[31] He was able to easily contend with and evade Killer B's unorthodox and unpredictable 8 sword style,[32] which gave someone as skilled as Sasuke a lot of trouble[33])
- Danmaku (Via his Shurikenjutsu[34] and Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson [32])
- Acrobatics (All Shinobi are extremely agile, and can jump to great heights.[35] Additionally, they can all travel around by jumping across tree branches.[36] As a Shinobi, Itachi is extremely agile and nimble, and can perform acrobatic maneuvers with ease.[30] He can use his incredible agility to narrowly dodge attacks.[37] He can leap to great heights with ease[32])
- Martial Arts Mastery (All Shinobi are trained to be highly proficient in Taijutsu.[25] Even in the Ninja Academy, they are trained in Hand-to-Hand combat and perform drills regularly to perfect their Taijutsu.[35] He was stated[38] to have excellent mastery over Taijutsu. He was able to completely outclass and counter someone as skilled as Sasuke with ease.[39] He could fight evenly against KCM Naruto and Killer B[32])
- Pressure Points Strikes (Shinobi are taught a technique that allows them to painlessly knock people out with a simple neck chop in the Academy[40])
- Smoke Manipulation (With the use of smoke bombs, which are a standard part of a Shinobi's basic toolkit[41])
- Explosion Manipulation (Explosive tags, also known as letter bombs, are a standard part[42][43] of a Shinobi's basic toolkit.[41] He utilizes explosive tags in combat.[18][31] Can make his Shadow Clones explode at will[44])
- Light Manipulation (Flash bombs are a standard part of a Shinobi's arsenal[43][45])
- Enhanced Senses (Uchiha have naturally excellent eyesight.[46] He could hit targets that are out of his line of sight with perfect accuracy, even with his eyes closed.[30] He sensed Sasuke's presence before his parents could, even though Sasuke was sneaking around and they were having a heated argument.[47] Members of the Uchiha Clan had a naturally sharp intuition,[48] which allowed him to pick up on the impending attack of the Nine-Tails before it actually occurred.[49][50] He was able to pick up on Naruto using Kurama's chakra without even looking at him.[51] Casually picked up on Naruto's sneak attack from behind, and easily disposed of his clones without even looking.[52] He was able to sense and fight[53] Orochimaru's Eight Branches technique when he was blind)
- Instinctive Reaction (He was able to speak and move unconsciously after Mukai disabled him with the Gentle Fist.[54] His body could move faster than his thoughts[55])
- Extrasensory Perception (Itachi can send out his Chakra in all directions within his immediate vicinity, which allows him to sense the presence of everyone around him, as well as the specific techniques and abilities they're utilizing[56])
- Analytical Prediction (By analyzing an opponent's personality and motivations, Itachi can accurately predict their actions on a short and long term basis. Even when robbed of his senses, he was able to accurately predict[18] that Kabuto's target was going to be Sasuke, and managed to protect his brother. Likewise, he knew that "Madara" would attempt to recruit Sasuke, and set a deadly trap[57] for him. He even managed to predict that Sasuke would turn on Konoha after learning Itachi's truth, and prepared a countermeasure[58] for that, too, in the form a Kotoamatsukami delivered by Naruto)
- Information Analysis (Itachi is always analyzing his opponents and their techniques in the midst of battle in order to discern and exploit their weaknesses. After very brief observation, he figured out the most optimal way[26][4] to shut down Nagato's Rinnegan shared vision by attacking his summons' eyes from blind spots. Likewise, he was able to quickly discern the mechanics and weaknesses[26] of Chibaku Tensei after a few seconds of observation. He can use his chakra sensing technique in order to sense and analyze the specific techniques and abilities his opponents are using, which allows him to study and counter them[56])
- Breath Attack (With the Great Fireball[59][32] and Water Dragon Bullet[60] Techniques)
- Fire Manipulation (Itachi can breathe fire using the Great Fireball[61][32] and Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson [32] Techniques)
- Water Manipulation (With the Water Dragon Bullet[60] and Water Fang Bullet[22] Techniques)
- Adhesive Manipulation (With Suiton: Starch Syrup Capturing Field, he expels high viscosity water to cover the ground. This stream of sticky liquid can be used to form an adhesive trap that will inhibit a person's mobility[62][63])
- Summoning (Can summon[64] numerous crows to distract his enemies, and can even utilize those crows to cast Genjutsu[52])
- Sealing (With his Transfer Seal: Amaterasu[65][66] technique, he was able to seal away the effects of his Amaterasu into Sasuke's eye. He sealed one of his crows within Naruto[58])
- Curse Manipulation (Itachi can 'program' Sharingan traps that activate based on certain conditions being met, and usually against specific targets. One such example was him programming the Amaterasu he sealed in Sasuke's eye to activate upon seeing Obito's Sharingan, and target him with the flames.[66] Another instance was him programming the crow he sealed within Naruto to emerge and activate Kotoamatsukami upon seeing Itachi's own Mangekyō Sharingan.[58] These traps remain active even after Itachi himself has died)
- Illusion Creation and Fear Manipulation (With Ephemeral, Itachi can cause his target to see horrific visions of their worst fears and insecurities.[67] Additionally, this technique does not require eye contact)
- Social Influencing (In his fight against Nemui during the Chūnin Exams, he was capable of easily and completely reading Nemui's personality. He was able to understand his motivations and fears with very minimal contact and information. He then used that understanding to devise a plan meant to manipulate Nemui into gradually opening his eyes and falling prey to Itachi's Genjutsu, which he then tailored specifically to break Nemui's will and make him give up on being a Shinobi.[68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] He was able to completely read Yashiro, and break his will, making him succumb to an extremely deep fear of Itachi before destroying his mind with Tsukuyomi[76][77])
- Overwhelming Aura (His aura, alongside his parents', was enough to make a young Sasuke collapse.[78] He could inject his aura with bloodlust and malice, just like Obito and Zabuza[79])
- Supernatural Willpower (Forced his body to move in order to attack Obito, even though he was completely paralyzed before and was certain he would die if he made any movements.[80] He could withstand using the Susano'o, which causes its user excruciating pain,[81] despite already suffering great pain due to his terminal illness[82])
- Resistance to Ice Manipulation (Ninja who can mold Chakra can send that chakra around their bodies to generate heat and prevent their bodies from freezing. This technique was potent enough to counteract Earth Chain Ice, a technique that freezes its victims from the inside out[83]), Extrasensory Perception (Itachi is capable of completely erasing aura, making him nearly impossible to detect.[84] The sensory unit is completely unable to detect his presence[85]), Fear Manipulation (He became completely unfazed[79][86][87] by Obito's bloodlust-ridden aura, which had completely paralyzed him with fear[88] when he was younger. Fought both Sasuke and Orochimaru, and was unfazed by their bloodlusted[52] auras), Illusion Creation, Perception Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (Without using the Sharingan, Itachi was able to avoid[89] getting caught[90]within Obito's Genjutsu)
- Enhanced Sight (The Sharingan provides its user with an incredible clarity of perception.[91] This allows the user to easily keep track[92][93] of fast moving targets with astonishing clarity. This clarity of vision also allows the user to easily perceive and decipher[94] hand seals at great speeds,[95] read lips,[96] and perceive pencil movements in order to mimic them.[97] The Sharingan can also see chakra[95] as different colors, even through certain solid obstacles,[98] and even perceive invisible individuals[99] and entities.[26] Upon first awakening the Sharingan, Itachi could clearly see his family,[100] who were in another room, and claimed that he could even see their heartbeats had he focused on it.[100] The Sharingan also allows its user to focus their vision and act like a microscope, allowing it to see objects on a cellular level[95] and clearly perceive viruses.[101] With the Sharingan, Itachi is capable of perceiving faint shadows, even through thick mist[31])
- Analytical Prediction (The Sharingan allows its user to clearly anticipate their opponent's next moves and flawlessly counter them.[93] A fully matured Sharingan can even see clear visual images of the opponent's next moves,[102] allowing for efficient evasion and counterattacks without any wasted movements)
- Information Analysis and Power Mimicry (The Sharingan has the ability to "discern the reality behind any technique" and then reflect it upon its caster.[103] This enables the user to read the way a foe weaves seals and determine the change in chakra nature and the range of the attack from the color of chakra.[104] The Sharingan's ability to acquire and decipher this information[105] allows its user to instantly understand, memorize, and mimic the opponent's Ninjutsu,[106][91] Genjutsu,[107] and Taijutsu[108][109] with nearly perfect accuracy. The Sharingan's ability to see chakra also allows its user to assess the opponent's remaining energy levels and their next moves[110][111])
- Empowerment (The Sharingan is awakened and evolved through the awakening and development of the user's negative emotions, such as hate, grief, or disappointment. The deeper the hatred or pain, the more powerful the Sharingan becomes[112])
- Minor Light Manipulation (The Sharingan shines in the dark[113])
- Illusion Reflection (The Sharingan has the ability to decipher an opponent's genjutsu, mimic it, and reflect it back at its user with the Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change[107][103][114])
- Illusion Nullification (Sharingan users can break free of[107] and[115] nullify[116] genjutsu[117][118])
- Minor Astral Projection (The Sharingan allows its user to project themselves into a target's inner consciousness with a mere gaze[119][49])
- Illusion Creation (Sharingan Genjutsu allows the user to create elaborate illusions upon establishing eye contact with the victim[39][3][116])
- Mind Manipulation (Sharingan Genjutsu allows its user to hypnotize its target and control their actions upon establishing eye contact[105][91][120][121][49])
- Paralysis Inducement (Sharingan Genjutsu can also paralyze[122][123][124] its victim)
- Sleep Inducement (Sharingan Genjutsu can put its target to sleep[67][125])
- Perception Manipulation (Sharingan Genjutsu can create illusions that manipulate its target's perception and trick them.[126] Visual Jutsu generally aims to manipulate and trick the opponent into doubting his reality, ultimately making the Jutsu sink in further[127])
- Memory Manipulation (The Sharingan allows its user to look through others' memories[128] and to relay their own memories[129])
- Pain Manipulation (Via Demonic Illusion: Shackle Stakes,[24] the victim experiences the illusion of physical pain, which makes this Jutsu effective for torture)
- Sense Manipulation and Enhanced Perception Manipulation with Izanami (At the cost of the eyesight of the Sharingan that cast it, the the Izanami[130][60] allows the user to trap its victim in an infinite loop within their own mind. The user achieves this by "recording" an action in time, including the physical senses felt by both parties in said moment. The user then recreates that moment, and records it as well. At which point the victim is caught within the loop, with no chance of escaping except by accepting their own fate or surrendering to the reality they attempted to reject. This genjutsu does not require eye contact, or even for the victim to have eyesight, for it to activate. Additionally, the victim is completely helpless and paralyzed outside the loop)
- Likely Subjective Reality (Itachi has read the Uchiha Stone Tablet, and has learned all about the Izanagi and Izanami.[60] Since all of those who have read the tablet can perform Izanagi, so should Itachi. At the cost of the eyesight of the Sharingan that cast it, the Izanagi[131] can rid the user of anything disadvantageous, such as injury or death, by casting an illusion on the user and turning their unwanted reality into a dream or illusion; however, anything advantageous such as the user's own attacks remain. The Jutsu normally only lasts for a few seconds; however, it is possible to extend its duration by implanting Hashirama Senju's cells. It is also possible to delay the Jutsu's effect)
- Resistance to Illusion Creation, Perception Manipulation, and Mind Manipulation (The Sharingan allows its user to discern the mechanics[105] of and see[103] right[132][133] through[107] genjutsu,[134] even the genjutsu[22] of other[3] Sharingan[116] users[135][136])
All previous Sharingan abilities greatly[127] enhanced,[137] plus:
- Limited Durability Negation, Enhanced Fire Manipulation, and Non-Physical Interaction with Amaterasu (The user spawns inextinguishable black flames on their target as long as it's in their line of sight.[37][138] The flames give off incredible heat,[139][140] which have been described to be as hot as the sun,[141] are capable of instantly vaporizing steel,[142] and are capable of burning the flameproof innards of a Rock Toad.[143] Amaterasu is capable of harming[144] opponents far above[145] the user's level of power, and have been repeatedly referred to as the most powerful offensive technique[37][140] possessed by the Mangekyō Sharingan. The flames will continue to burn until their target is turned to ash,[138] even when completely submerged in water, or if their target happens to be other flames[37])
- BFR (Casting this Jutsu allows Itachi to forcibly drag his victim's consciousness into the mental realm of Tsukuyomi,[146] also known as the Nightmare Realm[147] and the Dreamscape[116]), Pocket Reality Manipulation (Tsukuyomi[37][146][116][127][22] is one of the most powerful Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu due to its ability to provide the user with complete control over the mental world[76] of Tsukuyomi. This complete control[76] extends over all aspects of that world such as space, time, matter, and gravity. Everything in that world is under the complete control of the caster, with him being able to control them freely), Time Manipulation (Within the mental world of Tsukuyomi, Itachi has complete control over time and its flow within the realm.[146][116] Seventy-two hours of continuous torture within Tsukuyomi could take less than a moment in the real world.[22] At its peak, the time that passed within Tsukuyomi was one one-hundredth of one one-thousandth of one one-millionth of that of the real world[127]), Age Manipulation (Itachi was able to use Tsukuyomi's extreme time dilation to make Izumi live through decades of her life, which only took seconds in the real world, until she died of old age within the Tsukuyomi, which caused her physical body to die in response[127]), Spatial Manipulation (Within Tsukuyomi, Itachi has complete control over space itself[146][127][22]), Gravity Manipulation (Within Tsukuyomi, Itachi has complete control over gravity[146]), Matter Manipulation (Within Tsukuyomi, Itachi has complete control over matter and all substance[146][127][22]), Perception Manipulation (The visions the victim sees are completely up to the caster. They can live through hellish torture,[22] horrific memories,[120] or a peaceful fantasy[127] to name a few. What the victims see and experience is completely up to Itachi's whim), Memory Manipulation (Tsukuyomi allows Itachi to force his victim to relive their memories, or his own, for as long as he wishes[120]), Pain Manipulation (Itachi's victims can feel pain and be tortured within the Nightmare Realm[22]), and Mind Manipulation (Tsukuyomi can be used to inflict irreparable mental damage to its victims, which leads to the complete breakdown[76][77] of their psyches.[146] Itachi can also manipulate others while they're trapped in the Nightmare Realm[147]) with Tsukuyomi
- Enhanced Mind Manipulation and Memory Manipulation with Kotoamatsukami (Itachi possessed and controlled a crow that had Shisui's eye implanted into it, and could cast Kotoamatsukami with it.[148] Kotoamatsukami[149][150][148] is regarded as the most powerful Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu of all. It allows its user to assume perfect control of their victim without them realizing they're being controlled. It achieves this by implanting false phantom experiences and thoughts into the user's mind that they mistake for their own, and makes it so they genuinely believe that the user's commands are their own independent thoughts. Additionally, this genjutsu does not require direct eye contact with its victim)
- Aura (The Susano'o creates a protective aura[151] around its user)
- Soul Manipulation and Non-Physical Interaction (Users of Susano'o can interact with the soul, as the Susano'o is a physical manifestation of their chakra,[152] or soul. Susano'o can also wield spirit weapons, which have no physical form[153][53])
- Additional Limbs (The Susano'o allows Itachi to generate additional arms to aid him in battle[64])
- Weapon Creation (The Susano'o can create various weapons made of chakra such as blades,[154] shields,[131] and Yasaka Magatama[26])
- Forcefield Creation (The Susano'o forms as a barrier around the user[155] in order to shield them from external attacks)
- Large Size (The Susano'o's size Varies[53][156][154][155][26][123][124] from Type 0 to Type 1)
- Size Manipulation (The Yata mirror can change its size in order to match the attack that its attempting to thwart[157]), Shapeshifting (The Yata mirror can change its shape in order to match the attack coming its way, allowing it to change its default shape and wrap itself around the Susano'o for further protection[157]), Selective Intangibility (Spirit weapons have have no physical form,[153][53] but they can materialize themselves at the user's whim in order to deal damage to physical opponents or block physical attacks[158][157][153]), Reactive Evolution and Power Nullification (It can change every one of its properties in order to match those of other attacks, allowing it to nullify them, whether the attacks are physical or spiritual[153]) with the Yata Mirror
- Size Manipulation (As a spirit weapon with no physical form, the Totsuka blade can change its size, extending its reach to attack faraway opponents[158]), Shapeshifting (As a spirit weapon with no physical form, the Totsuka blade can change its shape from a "liquid"[153] inside the Susano'o's sake gourd into a sharp blade that can cut down foes[158]), Selective Intangibility (Spirit weapons have have no physical form,[153][53] but they can materialize themselves at the user's whim in order to deal damage to physical opponents or block physical attacks[158][157][153]), Soul Manipulation (The Totsuka blade is a spiritual weapon of an ethereal nature.[153][53] It's capable of sucking the souls it pierces, and sealing them inside the gourd the Susano'o carries[153]), Non-Physical Interaction (As an ethereal weapon, the Totsuka Blade is capable of interacting with its target's soul in order to suck them into the gourd and seal them away[153]), Sealing, BFR, and Illusion Creation (The Totsuka Blade is an ethereal weapon imbued with a Sealing Jutsu. Once it pierces its target, it seals their bodies and/or souls into a genjutsu world of drunken dreams for all eternity.[153] Orochimaru, who had been sealed by the blade, was said to have had his presence completely erased from the Ninja World[159]) with the Totsuka Blade
- Resistance to Paralysis Inducement (By activating the Susano'o, its user is capable of bypassing paralysis techniques such as Danzo's Curse Mark of Paralysis[116]), Sealing (Susano'o are capable of breaking out of Sealing Jutsu[160]), Absorption and Status Effect Inducement (The Susano'o's defenses were capable of protecting Kurama from Hashirama's absorption and suppression techniques,[161] which was noted by Madara.[162] Hashirama only managed to use his suppression techniques when he stripped the Susano'o off[163]) with Susano'o
All previous abilities, except Kotoamatsukami, plus:
- Regeneration (Low-Godly - Edo Tensei are capable of regenerating from the complete destruction[164] of their bodies.[165] It's stated that as long as the soul remains, the Edo Tensei will keep coming back to life[166][167])
- Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 - Edo Tensei are corpses possessed by a soul brought back from the Pure Land. They are incapable of feeling pain along with being able to survive grievous injuries such as bisection[168] and dismemberment.[169] Edo Tensei will keep coming back so long as their soul remains bound to the Edo realm[166][167])
- Inorganic Physiology (Type 1 - Edo Tensei bodies are comprised of dust and ash enveloping an already deceased corpse shaping it into the revived person the caster chooses[170])

- Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation and Emotion Detection (Even though Edo Tensei are able to retain their consciousness when brought back from the afterlife, the controller can suppress their free will[174] binding their mind and shutting off all emotion[175])
Attack Potency: At least Island level,[Note 1] possibly Small Country level+ (He regularly sparred with Shisui Uchiha in his youth, and before awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.[176] Stated by Orochimaru to be stronger than him, and he was the reason he left the Akatsuki.[177] He also casually cut off his hand after binding him with a Genjutsu when he was much younger.[178] Sasuke stated that Orochimaru only pursued taking over his body because "Itachi was out of the question",[179] and admitted that neither he nor Orochimaru were strong enough to defeat him[180][Note 2]), higher with Mangekyō Sharingan, far higher with Susano'o (Far superior to his sick self's Susano'o. Should be superior to Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke's Susano'o, since Sasuke only surpassed Itachi's Dōjutsu techniques with the EMS[181]) | Mountain level (Much weaker than before due to his terminal illness. Right before his fight with Sasuke, he fought on par with Kisame Hoshigaki during a sparring match.[31] Easily blocked a punch from Kakashi Hatake[182][Note 3]), higher with Mangekyō Sharingan (Clashed with a partially transformed CS1 Sasuke, but was eventually overpowered by him[183]), at least Island level (Sasuke's Kirin was stated to be a mediocre technique when compared to the Armored Susano'o[184][Note 4]), possibly Small Country level+ with Susano'o (Could easily slice off heads from Eight Branches Orochimaru[158][Note 2]) | At least Island level,[Note 1] possibly Small Country level+ (Matched[32] Kyūbi Chakra Mode Naruto in hand-to-hand combat. Should not be too much weaker than his prime self, as the Edo Tensei were revived near their full power and he was rid of his sickness[Note 2]), higher with Mangekyō Sharingan (Clashed[185] with Sage Mode Kabuto, and cut off his horn[18]), at least Island level,[Note 5] possibly Small Country level+ with Susano'o (He contributed to a third of the energy output that destroyed Nagato's Chibaku Tensei.[186] Ripped off Edo Nagato's arms[186] with his skeletal Susano'o. He was able to deflect[187] EMS Sasuke's Susano'o arm with his own. Easily manhandled[188] and stabbed[189] Sage Kabuto's snakes with his lower Susano'o stages[Note 6])
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely Sub-Relativistic (Immensely superior to his terminally sick self. His sign weaving speed was too fast for even Kakashi to keep up with, and he was able to create a Shadow Clone and attack him before he could react, which prompted Kurenai to describe him as "superhuman"[22]) | At least Massively Hypersonic+ (He is much slower than before due to his illness.[37][157][190][82] Easily reacted to and blocked a punch from Kakashi Hatake.[182] He kept up with Kisame Hoshigaki[31] Even though his physical state was rapidly deteriorating during their fight, he was still able to keep up with Sasuke[37]) | At least Massively Hypersonic+, likely Sub-Relativistic (He could keep up with KCM Naruto and Killer B.[32] He was able to react to and deflect[187] an attack from EMS Sasuke, and easily intercepted his Shuriken[147] and generally kept pace with him in their fight against Kabuto)

Superhuman.
Immensely superior to his sick self due to lacking the terminal illness that severely hampered his stamina and chakra reserves.[37][82] Even as an 8 year old child, Itachi had marvelous stamina. He was able to seriously spar with Shisui for about 7 hours. Overall, they sparred for 35 rounds, with each round taking roughly 9 minutes, with 3 minute breaks between each round.[193][194][195] During the Chūnin Exams, when he was 10, he was able to continuously dodge and evade Nemui for well over 10 minutes straight without even breaking a sweat.[68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] Itachi also has a very high tolerance towards pain, not even flinching when he was stabbed in his stomach.[196] During the Uchiha massacre, when he was only 13, he could use his Mangekyō Sharingan for an extended period, and unleashed powerful and very chakra taxing techniques such as Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu several times that night, in addition to him running around and killing at least dozens of his clansmen.[197] During the events of Part I, he was able to use Tsukuyomi twice and Amaterasu once, in addition to a number of other techniques such as a Shadow Clone, which cuts his chakra reserves in half, and Suiton Jutsu.[44][198][199]
Superhuman.
His stamina had certainly diminished greatly due to his terminal illness reaching its peak, and his death drawing near.[37][157][190][82] However, even in this state he has considerable chakra and endurance. Even though it's still a very chakra taxing technique to maintain, he's almost always got his Sharingan activated. Itachi is capable of partaking in the Nine Phantom Dragons Seal Jutsu, which is a Jutsu designed to extract a Bijū from its Jinchūriki and requires the 9 participants to be constantly awake and supplying chakra for 3 full days.[200] During his time supplying chakra for this sealing Jutsu, Itachi was also capable of supplying 30% of his total chakra to a clone of himself[201] that he used to battle Naruto and Kakashi for a relatively extended period of time.[202][137][182][67][201] Before his fight with Sasuke, when his illness was at its absolute peak, he had a serious sparring match with Kisame, where he had to use several of his Jutsu and Dojutsu in quick succession.[31] Then he had to fight Sasuke, which entailed him using several Genjutsu to start with. He then used Tsukuyomi against Sasuke, which greatly exacerbated the effects of his illness.[203][37] After suffering injuries and burns during the fight, he was forced to use Amaterasu during an extended altercation, which took a massive further toll on him. Then, in order to survive Kirin, he was forced to activate the Susano'o. Then he had to use it again in order to battle and seal Orochimaru and survive Sasuke's onslaught, until he finally succumbed to his illness and chakra depletion, and died. It should also be noted that in addition to the pain caused by his terminal illness reaching its final stages, the Susano'o also caused Itachi excruciating pain during its use,[204] and he went through the entire fight while suffering from immense pain.
Infinite.
Edo Tensei have an infinite chakra supply,[205] that is to say their chakra reserves will refill indefinitely and continuously, meaning that they can keep fighting[206] without fail or succumbing to physical limitations like fatigue, pain, or debilitating injuries. In this form, Itachi was rid of any and all physical ailments he was afflicted with in life, such as his illness and blindness. He can continuously use Mangekyō Sharingan techniques with seemingly zero drawbacks to his eyesight and his stamina, and can freely use the Susano'o without any obvious side effects.
Range: Standard Melee Range, up to Tens of Meters with Shurikenjutsu (Itachi is a master Shurikenjutsu user, being able to hit targets from this distance without looking[207]), Ninjutsu, and the Susano'o (Wielding the Susano'o gives Itachi even greater range, allowing him to extend his blade far enough to completely chop off the heads of and stab Orochimaru's Eight Branches technique,[208] which is larger than even Manda[209]), Thousands of Kilometers with Yasaka Magatama (Throwing this technique allows Itachi to cover enough distance to even destroy the gravity core of Nagatos Chibaku Tensei.[210] The Yasaka Magatama was stated to be capable of crossing thousands of kilometers[211])

- Kunai

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius
Itachi was an outstanding[38] genius[189] with prodigious talent.[212] His brilliance was apparent from a very young age, as he was able to graduate from the Ninja Academy only 6 months after enrolling at the tender age of 7, with the average graduation age being 12 years old.[213] It should be noted that he completed the graduation exam only 4 months after enrolling, but he had to wait 2 additional months for the graduation ceremony. During his time at the academy, he immediately showed his genius, as his teachers literally had nothing they could feasibly teach him,[47] and he instantly mastered[214] whatever advanced material they threw his way. In the end, they threw up their hands in defeat[214] and allowed him to partake in the graduation exam very early.[213] Everyone who had been involved with him at that point admitted that his sheer talent was never before seen in the Academy,[212][215][214] which is made all the more impressive when we take into account the caliber of Shinobi who had joined the academy before him such as the Legendary Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi Hatake. At 8 years old,[216] he had already unlocked and mastered his Sharingan, and by this point his abilities had already far exceeded those of a Chūnin.[217] As a fledgling Genin, his judgment and skill had already far exceeded those of his Jōnin supervisors.[218] By the time he could take the Chūnin Exams, at 10 years of age, he was extremely overqualified. Due to his incredibly deep well of knowledge in all sorts of topics developed through reading and memorizing many books, Itachi was able to complete the Chūnin Exams' written test, which included questions involving Trignometry, Kinematics, among other advanced topics far too advanced for his age group,[219][220] without having to cheat,[221] which is the whole[219] point[220] of the exam. He got the second highest score in the written exam's history, only losing out to Minato Namikaze, and completed the third exam in the shortest time ever.[222] Itachi possessed a photographic memory that could memorize any scene with a mere glance,[223] which allowed him to easily memorize numerous books, documents, and theses on various complex topics, allowing him to easily recall that knowledge when needed.[224] He could also absorb the thick Anbu tactical books, which included all of the practical tactics and scenarios of the Anbu Black Ops, in a single night.[225] He rose to the very esteemed rank of Anbu Black Ops commander by the tender age of 13, which is completely unheard of.[44] His sheer brilliance was lauded by geniuses like Hiruzen,[226] Fugaku,[227][215][29] Shisui,[195] Sasuke,[179] Kakashi,[44] Kabuto,[189] Obito,[66] and Madara[228]
Itachi is a marvelous tactician. His ability to formulate and carry out short and long term strategies to absolute perfection is nearly unmatched in the verse. His ability to anticipate the actions of others and the outcomes of certain events is so accurate that it borders on actual foresight.
Our first exposure to this was during his infiltration of Konoha during Part I.[229][44][230][231][232][51][198][199] Upon being confronted by Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi, he was able to subtly feed them intel regarding the Akatsuki's motivations and their desire to acquire Naruto's Nine-Tails.[44][230] He accomplished this while avoiding any lethal conflict, especially where Kisame was concerned.[229][44][230] He was capable of achieving this without alerting Kisame to his true motivations by expertly manipulating him into believing they had to retreat, which was made believable due to him using the Mangekyō Sharingan and Tsukuyomi earlier when he didn't truly need to.[44][230] Kisame knew that these techniques were quite draining for Itachi to perform, so he did not question his decision to retreat.[44][198][199] Later on, Itachi was able to pull almost the exact same strategy, but with Jiraiya instead. He subtly fed him intel on his mission, avoided lethal conflict, and expertly escaped all while not alerting Kisame to his true motivations due to his decision to retreat[199] being extremely believable after using Tsukuyomi[198] and Amaterasu[199] in quick succession. Of course, this was made even easier due to him convincing Kisame that they would not be able to defeat Jiraiya earlier.[231] Additionally, Itachi had yet another hidden motive behind his mission, which was to alert Danzo and the elders to his presence, and remind them of their promise to keep his brother, Sasuke, alive and safe.[82]
Another instance can be seen in his long-term manipulation of Sasuke.[233][82] He curated his words and actions, and manipulated Sasuke's view of the Uchiha massacre in order to make loathing and taking revenge on Itachi his sole objective in life. After Sasuke became strong enough, and the time was right for their fated battle to occur, Itachi had already calculated and foresaw every single detail that was about to take place in that battle.[82] He continued to manipulate Sasuke into thinking that he was an evil maniac, who's trying to kill him and steal his eyes.[82] In order to keep up that façade, he pushed him in battle, hard enough to take him to the limits of his chakra, but not enough to actually kill him.[82] The purpose behind this act of his was multifaceted. Firstly, he wanted to draw out Orochimaru so he could rid Sasuke of him for good and seal him away; however, Orochimaru would only emerge if Sasuke no longer had enough chakra to suppress him.[82] Secondly, he wanted to die in front of Sasuke, which would grant him a massive increase in power because it would awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.[82] He even made sure to subtly reveal to him how he can acquire the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, by implanting his eyes later on when he starts losing his eyesight.[234] Thirdly, he didn't want Sasuke to even begin suspecting Itachi's true motives, which would only be possible if he thought he was a truly despicable monster who was trying to kill him and harvest his eyes.[82] He even anticipated "Madara's" inevitable attempt to approach and recruit Sasuke, by wooing him with the truth about Itachi. In response to this possibility that he'd anticipated, he implanted the Amaterasu inside Sasuke's eye, and programmed it to activate in response to Obito's Sharingan. Despite managing to survive, Obito was still amazed by Itachi's ability to plan ahead, admitting that he would have died had Itachi known all of his secrets.[66] He even had further contingencies should Sasuke fall for Obito's manipulation, which consisted of him implanting a crow that had Shisui's eye inside of Naruto. Knowing full well that Naruto would confront Sasuke in the future should he turn against Konoha, Itachi programmed the crow to emerge in response to his own Mangekyō Sharingan, which he predicted that Sasuke would possess at that point, and cast Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke with the order being to protect Konoha.[58] He truly thought of every single possibility, and had contingencies for all of them, even after his death.
Perhaps his crowning achievement as a strategist was his contribution to the disabling of Kabuto's Edo Tensei. This technique was touted as having absolutely no risks or weaknesses, and being impossible to disable.[235][64][147] This was due to the fact that the Jutsu would not be undone even if Kabuto himself was killed.[64] Additionally, Kabuto was effectively immune to Ocular Genjutsu due to his Sage Mode-enhanced senses allowing him to shut his vision off with no drawbacks.[236][185] He was also extremely difficult to kill due to his employment of the Orochimaru-Style Subsitution technique, having the Hozuki clan's liquefaction technique,[236] and having the Uzumaki clan's healing powers,[236] among other abilities. Itachi, knowing that every technique has a weakness,[147] he laid down his plan to disable the Edo Tensei.[185] He decided to employ the Izanami,[130][60] a Genjutsu that does not require eye contact to take effect. The Jutsu takes effect after the user completes a loop of actions that start and end in the same manner. Once the Jutsu is complete, the victim is trapped in an infinite loop, which they can only escape by "accepting their fates", essentially forcing them to either reform themselves and change their ways, or be trapped in the loop indefinitely. Once that was done, he was able to cast genjutsu on the incapacitated Kabuto in order to force him to undo the Edo Tensei himself.
Itachi's genius level intellect and brilliant strategic mind carry over to combat as well. His style revolves around calmly analyzing[237] his opponent(s) and the situation he's in. Based on his careful and thorough, albeit extremely swift, analysis, he's able to derive a plethora of useful information including, but not limited to, his opponent's motivations, goals, moves, abilities, weaknesses, and possible methods of countering their abilities in the most efficient way possible.
Even though he was only 6 years old at the time, he showed the ability to carefully plan and execute complex strategies on the fly,[238] allowing him to massively outperform his peers with ease.[27] By analyzing an opponent's personality and motivations, Itachi can accurately predict their actions on a short and long term basis. Even when robbed of his senses, he was able to accurately predict[18] that Kabuto's target was going to be Sasuke, and managed to protect his brother. Itachi is always analyzing his opponents and their techniques in the midst of battle in order to discern and exploit their weaknesses. After very brief observation, he figured out the most optimal way[26][4] to shut down Nagato's Rinnegan shared vision by attacking his summons' eyes from blind spots. Likewise, he was able to quickly discern the mechanics and weaknesses[26] of Chibaku Tensei after a few seconds of observation. His inherently pacifist nature also lends itself to his preferred fighting style, which is usually to start off his confrontations with Genjutsu.[39][3][234] This has an added benefit, besides avoiding lethal confrontation, which is that it allows Itachi to peer further into his opponent's psyche and reach a far deeper understanding of their personality and motivations. Using all of this information that he's gained, in addition to the time the Genjutsu has offered him to further analyze his foe, Itachi is capable of devising his strategies as discussed before.
Itachi is also an extremely creative and adaptable combatant. An example of this was during the Chūnin Exams, when he fought a Kumogakure Shinobi named Nemui. Nemui's fighting style revolved around him falling asleep and relying on his instincts to move, attack, and defend. He would then relentlessly attack his opponent, both short and long range, using Raiton. This was especially problematic because it meant that Itachi could not use his Sharingan to deal with Nemui. Subsequently, Itachi was able to quickly analyze Nemui's personality, and deduced that he fell asleep due to his innate cowardice, as it was a way for him to avoid feeling pain or having to directly hurt his opponents. Itachi knew that due to Nemui's inherent fear of death and pain, he would inevitably wake up in order to take a peak at his current situation. When that moment came, Itachi immediately activated his Sharingan and began enacting his plan. During that initial split second moment when Nemui slightly opened his eyes, Itachi cast a Genjutsu on him that showed him a horrific vision of his death when he fell asleep. This caused Nemui to once again open his eyes briefly due to his sleep being disturbed by the horrific apparition, at which point he was hit with another Genjutsu showing him a different version of his death. This cycle was repeated, with Nemui's sleep getting shorter and shorter due to the visions taking a massive toll on him. In the end, Nemui's spirit broke from the repeated Sharingan-induced nightmares, and he was left screaming and mortified. Itachi was able to deduce the reason he used his abilities in a certain way, as well as his greatest fears and weaknesses, from extremely minimal contact with a complete stranger. He then proceeded to immediately come up with a strategy to best exploit those newly discovered weaknesses to his advantage.[68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]
Other showcases of Itachi's creativity and unpredictability could be seen in his use of the Crow Clone Substitution, which he prefers over the regular Substitution Jutsu due to its innate ability to confuse his opponent, which helps him create openings in combat.[20] He's also adept at coming up with and using other unorthodox techniques to catch his opponents off-guard, such as his exploding Shadow Clones,[44] among other techniques. Itachi is very adept at Clone Jutsu, and frequently makes use of them as decoys and distractions in order to create openings or observe and analyze his opponents.
Weaknesses:
The Sharingan's ability to copy Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu is limited by the user's physical condition,[105] that is to say, that the user needs to be physically capable of performing the technique they are trying to replicate. They need to meet any physical or chakra amount prerequisites the technique in question may have. This ability is also incapable of replicating Kekkei Genkai, due to either not possessing the genetic predisposition and/or having the necessary chakra natures. Naturally, the user must be able to see the technique they are copying; they cannot replicate what they cannot see. The same can be said for essentially all of the Sharingan's abilities; they are sight-based abilities, so if the opponent can obscure the user's vision using extremely thick mist/dust[91] or blind them, the Sharingan's abilities will be rendered ineffective. Likewise, suppose the opponent is too fast for the Sharingan to track them. In that case, they will be safe from its abilities. Sharingan Genjutsu requires eye contact, so if the opponent can avoid eye contact or is blind, they will avert Sharingan Genjutsu entirely. Finally, the Sharingan's predictive capabilities may partially be circumvented by fast attacks with little or no pattern, such as Naruto's chakra arms[239] that emerge from any part of his body and attack instinctively. The Mangekyō Sharingan offers far more power than the regular Sharingan, but that power comes at a cost. More powerful techniques entail a far higher chakra cost, making Mangekyō Sharingan Jutsu extremely taxing to use and maintain. Additionally, the Mangekyō Sharingan also causes great strain on the user's vision, eventually resulting in complete blindness with continuous use. The Susano'o causes its users immense pain "in every cell in their body". All of the effects incurred in the Tsukuyomi realm do not cause physical damage or effects, and incur purely mental damage. Kotoamatsukami can only be used once each ten years, per eye, unless the user possesses Hashirama Senju's cells.
Same as before. Itachi also suffers from a terminal illness that significantly weakens him and causes constant pain over time. It also diminishes his chakra reserves and stamina.[37][157][190][82]
Same as his Part I self. As a reanimated corpse, he might not be as strong as when he was alive, but Edo Tensei ridding him of his illness somewhat counterbalances that. Despite the Immortality offered by Edo Tensei, he can still be sealed away, and is vulnerable to attacks that directly target his soul.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Sharingan (Mirror Wheel Eye): The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan itself gives color to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate them. As the Sharingan evolves, this ability extends to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body. Sharingan's third and most well-known power grants the user the ability to memorize almost any technique they witness.
- Sharingan Genjutsu: The Uchiha clan's generic illusionary art. The Uchiha can lock their opponents into their chosen illusion by looking into their eyes.
- Izanami: A genjutsu that affects the target through physical sensations shared between them and the user to perform the illusion. It requires a few minutes of prep to set up and physical contact to initiate. Works even if the opponent is blind/has cut off their eyesight. The caster creates a scenario or sequence beforehand. After the technique's activation, the victims undergo an infinite time loop scenario in their minds until they meet the conditions set by the caster. Like its counterpart, Izanagi, in exchange for the temporary ability it grants the user, the Sharingan with which Izanami is cast is rendered blind.
- Mangekyō Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye): An advanced form of Sharingan acquired from witnessing the death of the loved ones. Despite the tremendous strength, Mangekyō Sharingan eventually blinds its user, which is accelerated by using the Mangekyō techniques. Their eyesight can only be restored by transplanting another Uchiha clan member's Mangekyō, creating an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This process restores their vision and offers them even greater power.
- Tsukuyomi: Itachi casts an illusion on an opponent where time moves faster, and he can inflict mental torture on them. The uppermost limit of this Jutsu can send the victim into 72 hours of suffering, whereby a single second seems equivalent to a day.
- Amaterasu: Itachi summons black fire that moves with his gaze. The flames are very resilient as they have survived complete immersion in water. It is powerful enough to smother any normal flames and is said to burn for seven days and nights.
- Susano'o: The third power granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan after awakening the abilities in both eyes. It creates a gigantic, humanoid being that surrounds the user (it can also cover nearby people to protect them, but using it this way decreases Itachi's speed). Susano'o is formed through the materialization of the user's unique chakra and, as such, differs in appearance and color between users.
- Sword of Totsuka: It is sheathed in the sake jar Itachi's Susano'o carries; the blade is a shapeshifting liquid rather than a standard physical sword. It is an ethereal weapon capable of sealing anything it pierces. Those stabbed by the sword are drawn into the jar and forever locked in a "world of drunken dreams."
- Yata Mirror: A chakra shield carried by Itachi's Susano'o in its left hand. It is said to be endowed with all nature transformations, capable of adapting and neutralizing incoming attacks.
- Yasaka Magatama: Through Susano'o, the user can create the Yasaka Magatama from any of its hands, consisting of several magatamas bound together through their respective centers by a thread of chakra. Due to this structure, the tools then act similarly to that of a shuriken when thrown by Susano'o — rapidly spinning towards the intended target — resulting in a powerful collision upon impact.
- Katon (Fire Release): One of the fundamental elemental nature transformations. It is performed by molding a superheated chakra inside the stomach before releasing it via the lungs and mouth. There are also variants to this in the form of some mediums, such as gunpowder, explosive tags, and chakra flow into a weapon.
- Great Fireball: A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flame-thrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of mustered chakra.
- Phoenix Sage Fire: This technique creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying unpredictably, assaulting the enemy. Also, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra.
- Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand while at the same time exhaling fire-infused chakra onto them to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim or any other object caught within their trajectories.
- Suiton (Water Release): One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allow the user to manipulate pre-existing water, or create their own, by turning their chakra into water. It takes much more to make the water than control what is already available and expel it from their mouths. One of the most versatile of the five basic chakra natures, Water Release techniques can change shape and the state. Moreover, the water becomes more substantial in the process as well.
- Water Fang Bullet: This technique delivers physical damage to the enemy with a liquid mass brought forth from underwater. Its power to kill and maim is augmented by adding a spinning motion to the compactly pressured water.
- Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique shapes a large amount of water into a giant, powerful dragon, which hits the opponent with formidable might, dealing physical damage. The ideal place to use it is near a body of water, but if the user's skill allows it, it is possible to use it even in a place where there is none. The amount of water used will be balanced to the user's chakra and skill.
- Water Release: Water Bullet Technique is a highly versatile Water Release technique that has many variations. After kneading chakra in their stomach, the user expels a large quantity of water in the form of a powerful torrent towards their intended target.
- Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique): this technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies that can fight and are capable of using the users' techniques, though they disappear after one strong hit. A characteristic unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed.
- Shadow Clone Explosion: This technique is used to create a Shadow Clone that can be detonated.
- Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu (Crow Clone Technique): A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's chakra towards dozens of "crows." Because it uses crows as a medium, it requires less chakra than the standard Shadow Clone Technique while still being able to perform techniques.
- Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique): A high-speed movement technique, accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move in a short burst of enhanced speed.
- Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique): The Summoning Technique is a space-time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to summon animals or people across long distances instantly. Itachi uses this technique to summon crows.
- Genjutsu (Illusionary Techniques): Illusory techniques employed with chakra and hand seals. The process redirects chakra flow in the victim's brain, thus disrupting their senses.
- Ephemeral ("Itachi's one-finger Genjutsu"): A genjutsu that Itachi can use without making eye contact, instead of using as little as pointing at his opponent. Once inside the illusion, he can control the visions the ninja sees. This illusion can also be used to play on the target's fears.
- Dusk Crow: This genjutsu can trap a victim in an illusion with no eye contact, similar to Ephemeral. The genjutsu traps the victim in a torrent of crows, leaving them at the user's mercy.
- Burning Paper Body: The illusion traps the victim in a dark space where their body is made of paper that burns from toe to head while the user is watching. The technique will make it harder for the target to move properly.
- Shackling Stakes: The opponent is caught in the illusory world created by the user, and the victim is tormented with the sensation of having spikes driven through their limbs, taking away their body's freedom. At the same time, the physical pain accompanying the illusion reveals that the greatest use of this technique is torture.
- Mirror Heaven and Earth Change: The user decrypts a genjutsu that has been applied to them and casts back a technique with identical effects onto the opponent.
