well you proved yourself wrong. Words don&#39;t mean nothing.

Orochimaru is scared of Itachi, but not Jiraiya.

Jiraiya is not afraid of Itachi nor Orochimaru.

Kakashi,Asuma,and Kurenai is DEAD afraid of Orochimaru, but they&#39;re not afraid of Itachi, though they&#39;ll admit he&#39;s stronger.

Kabuto is afraid of Jiraiya but not as much of Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Tsunade isn&#39;t scared of Jiraiya or Orochimaru.

Itachi and Kisame are not afraid of Orochimaru but they were of Jiraiya.

As you can see...nothing ever really connects with the shit everyone &quot;said&quot; </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
Orochimaru isn&#39;t afraid of Jiraiya, because they were all in the same group, and is generally looked on as &quot;superior&quot; to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya pissed his pants, after seeing the black flames Itachi made to fuck up his jutsu.

We don&#39;t know of Asuma and Kurenai is afraid of Oro. They never met, they probably are, though. Kakashi was afraid of Itachi. Hell, he knew he was going to get his ass beat. All they wanted to do was buy some time, and have some of the other Konoha come in. Too bad Itachi is too smart for that.

Kabuto is afraid of Orochimaru. Oro constantly threatens and picks on him. Think for a moment, if you will.. Orochimaru is a gimp now, and Kabuto is STILL his bitch. Oro must be pretty damn good, if he&#39;s got lackies even after losing his most powerful assets (his arms).

Tsunade and Jiraiya are friends. No need for her to be afraid of him. Orochimaru was a gimp, and she still couldn&#39;t beat him. She can&#39;t beat Kabuto, either sadly.

Itachi and Kisame are the strongest in the series so far. They weren&#39;t afraid of Jiraiya, or Naruto in that little tussle. There&#39;s a difference between being scared, and strategically retreating. NOT that it was required, but Itachi proves to be a whimsical character.

Sorry to say, but you guys have nothing. I mean, all we have is the AUTHORS WORD, that Itachi is stronger. All you people have are baseless speculations and theories. And fandom, of course.
