Yandaime - Known as the 'Professor' for knowing every Jutsu in Konoha.

# 1. Sandaime, the Fourth, is dead. SO his speed does not matter, atm.
# 2. Rasengan is not a Jutsu of Konoha.
# 3. Orochimaru did not go all out against Yandaime.

He did not summon his snake. he did not use other abilities he's shown. He was toying with Yandaime.


Itachi is stronger than Orochimaru, as Orochimaru said it. Itachi is most likely as strong Sarutobi, if not stronger.

Another thing, Itachi has Tsukuyomi and Mangekyou, and Amaterasu. Three things Yandame could not evade, because he does not have the Sharingan.
