no Itachi told Kisame that if they both attacked Jiraya, they might kill him, but they would die in the process. Why else did he run away?

No, I will copy his exact words, by DB Translation.
"No, Kisame. If we fight him head on, we will recieve unnecessary injuries."
He also said the same thing to Kisame when Kisame was about to attack Gai.
Also, Sandaime had to handle a very well orchestrated surprise attack and oro still only won the fight by the skin of his teeth. Oro of been stronger and Itachi may be stronger them him but strengh is only part of the equation. Sharingan isnt invincible and i think Sarutobi's experience would help him come out on top.
Sarutobi had to use his best jutsu just to hurt Orochimaru, you call that by the skin of his teeth? No, in the overveiw, Orchimaru won quite easily. If Itachi is stronger than Orochimaru, Itachi woulda have what . . . Lost just his hands?
You're just an Itachi fanboy. In a fight, the winner is the person who best uses his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. This is specifically why Orochimaru is afraid of Itachi. He knows he can't counter Tsukuyomi. It is obvious that Sarutobi could counter Tsukuyomi, since he killed the first two Hokage without using his eyes. Just because Orochimaru would lose to Itachi doesn't mean Sarutobi would too. Different people have different strengths and weaknesses.
Indeed, Sarutobi's greatest weakness was that he didn't have as much chakra as he used to. So Orochimaru summoned the Hokage to tire him. In the end, it worked. But just barely. Itachi doesn't know Edo Tensei, so he wouldn't be able to exploit that (relative) weakness.
I actually don't really like Itachi. He's a pimp and all, but yeah. I completely understand what you are saying, but Sandaime had more weaknesses than Itachi does.
Sandaime would need his eyes at some point, and I doubt Itachi would use Tsukuyomi unless he was 100% sure it would work, as it takes a lot out of him.
Itachi's only weakness is that he uses way to much Chakra way to fast. But if he just used his Sharingan to predict Sarutobi's movments, and use speed that even Kakashi's Sharingan can't keep up with, he would then corner Sarutobi with jutsu's he's copied, and use Mangekyou, or Tsukuyomi, when Sandaime was tired out, from his old age lacking chakra.
Overall, even with Itachi's youth, he is stronger than the late Sandaime Hokage-sama.
Okay, I'm still not sure the old fart would lose, but you're making a lot of sense.Originally Posted by Zidarri the Exile
