I believe he bacame Jounin at age 6,mastered Sharingan at 10 and became leader of the ANBU squad,leafs most elite soldiers at age 13.He is 16 right now,feared by Orochimaru,and is one of the strongest,if not the strongest character introduced so far.IMO he is the strongest,the 4th doesn&#39;t count because he is dead.Some argue Jiraiya is stronger,but that can&#39;t be determined right now because we haven&#39;t seen them fight.But consider Itachi and Jiraiyas age difference,Itachi is stronger imo.
