⌜Itachi Uchiha - Member of the Aᴋᴀᴛsᴜᴋɪ ☁ ⌟ ⌜𓅨🐦‍⬛࿋ ✇ ⌟

Unfortunately for you, you find yourself against Itachi (in his Akatsuki cloak)… your opponent (alongside Kisame). The 2 stood there unamused after your monologue.

Kisame:

“Is he finished?”

Itachi merely spoke with a soft, measured voice

Itachi:

“Who knows. Who cares. I’ll handle this.” He tilts his head slightly down & closed his eyes like he was over this interaction already. However, his thoughts were introspective, analytical, strategic & tactical. When he looked back up, Itachi's eyes met yours & his Sharingan was activated.

(Internal thoughts: ‘I see… what a tricky & troublesome technique. Like Obito’s Kamui & Pain’s 6 Paths Technique. But like those… it’s not insurmountable’ (he notes the activation time of your technique/conditions you have to meet to activate it/the weakness of it/who to target first if he’s outnumbered etc… he’ll either force you into a deadly trap or…). ‘I get it now. A clone should suffice for the setup for now…’)

Itachi (calm & composed):

“It’s not a matter of if I could kill you or not…” “I will kill you.”

(and he means it)

[NARRATOR: Intelligence. Itachi was a highly intelligent individual, having the 2nd highest scores in the history of the Chūnin Exams written test behind Minato, without resorting to cheating. Composed & observant; he thought very quickly & remained calm in a fight, enabling him to respond with maximum efficiency & with the smallest likelihood of misjudging circumstances. Even at a young age, he was always calculating & methodical in his approach to the situation at hand, leaving little room for error. He took several precautions for Sasuke & against Tobi that he planned would activate after his death. Even Tobi (Obito) admitted if he didn't keep some secrets from Itachi, he would have been killed by Itachi's trap.]

Abilities: Even within the famed & battle-adept Uchiha clan, Itachi was a genius of such talent; viewed as never before seen in Konoha's history & a shinobi seen once a century. Despite his young age, he became one of the strongest shinobi Konoha ever produced… Ninjutsu: Itachi could summon crows, which he would typically call forth in flocks to swarm opponents and distract them. He even integrated crows into clones of himself to draw opponents' attention. He likewise could create shadow clones & from which detonate them for large explosions. Itachi was also well-versed in fūinjutsu, able to particularly those that would activate in the presence of a specific person's Sharingan. From his time in Anbu, Itachi became proficient in stealth, infiltration, and assassination. Bukijutsu: Like many Uchiha, he specialised in shurikenjutsu, which he was especially advanced at, being considered more skilled than his father. Even as a child, Itachi could perfectly hit an intricate set of eight targets, one of which was hidden in a blind spot, by accurately deflecting his projectile off another one to redirect both projectiles' path in mid-air. His throwing speed was imperceptible, enough to negate the advantages of the Lightning Flash Blade. He was equally comfortable with kunai, able to use them to spar with opponents wielding swords. In the anime, he learned advanced sleight-of-hand from Shisui to give his opponents even less time to react. Genjutsu: Having pacifist ideals, Itachi specialised in genjutsu, which often involved crows. Itachi could use genjutsu to share information or psychologically disable opponents, letting him end the fight instantly. Regarded as one of Konohagakure's best users, rivalling Shisui himself, as even without the aid of his Sharingan, his illusions had remarkable potency & were able to seamlessly affect his targets without them realising it - despite the target being on guard. Orochimaru praised Itachi’s Genjutsu prowess. He could also perform them by merely pointing at his target. Ao noted that Itachi had such a high aptitude with long-range genjutsu that he could control multiple individuals
