Orochimaru vs. Uchiha Itachi

[vasco]

If Itachi alone can win Orochimaru, then why the "aka...-something" with 7 people (one is Itachi) still let orochimaru alive?

Orochimaru with no doubt!

Common we know what orochimaru said but is just that he is affraid of losing, in the end he is quite coward everytime he sees his precious life at risk runs away, he wants to be inmortal, he doesnt have the guts to risk everything on a fight. Thats the main difference between orochimaru and jiray, jiraya could give his life away to defeat some1 just like the 3th and the 4th hokage, those are real badasses.

But even without stupid plot mechanics made by kishimoto imagine itachi fighting orochimaru, if he used some resurrection jutsu like with the 2 kages, common mangekyou works for nothing. Can u really gentsuju some1 who is dead(doesnt have fellings) to enter comma state affraid of pain and dying? Ridiculous. What orochimaru said was nothing more than a plot device, and his fear to die when he can live forever.

because he is not a threat to them. Look at akatsuki's goals and look at orochimaru's. they don't really cross.

Here is the problem that lies within the Orchimaro vs. Itachi debate. Orchimaro clearly states that itachi is stronger then him. Itachi clearly states that Jiraiya is stronger then him. Yet Orchimaro has no fear of Jiraiya and fights him even when he has the handicape of not being able to use his arms. Here lies the dillema. Until we see them fight there really is no way to assume that one could beat the other. I think the reason why Orchimaro fears itachi so much is because he has some sort of fruiedian inferiority complex when it comes to those with bloodlines. He sees them as perfect and since he really dosen't have one he's envious and fearful of them.
