Espada vs the Akasuki

I'm incredibly weary of the data book. It's already been proven that some of the stuff in it is hyperbole, and because it's translated verb and tense usage get messed up, which can throw off an entire definition.

Then how does that prove Itachi cannot react to Sasuke's Shunsuin when he DID react to it? 😐

And even then... Itachi was literally dying.

Hm. Yeah, I distinctly remember Sasuke commenting during their real fight on Itachi's speed.

And I believe Zetsu also commented on how Itachi normally would have been able to dodge the kage bunshin shuriken with more ease... but he was ****ed up.

And not even trying.

And with an arm missing.

And with a 28 inch penis weighing him down.

And with Sol trapped to his back.

And after being pounded in the ass by me.

Actually Itachi didn't react but he was able to follow..But then again it was just a clone. And he didn't exactly try since all he did was come to deliver a message. Besides clones are usually weaker than the user unless it's shadow clone.

Not really only chakra is split. Strength, speed stays the same. Ninjutsu stay the same. Though a clone may not be able to perform some high end jutsu cuz it has less chakra.

Chakra is used to amp speed and strength.

Not really. The stats they have are not effected by chakra.They have their normal. Speed. And so on. By speed and strength are not really effected by chakra unless you use shunshin or chakra enufsed punches

All the Gates do for Lee is increase his own chakra level to incredibly high levels, which as an effect increases his speed and strength as well. Same with Kyuubi chakra or Cursed Seal.

Actually gates unlocked the limiters on the body set by the mind. For muscles. Lungs heart. and of course chakra. It doesnt just release chakra it releases the limiters on everything

Having less chakra means your weaker. Which still really doesn't matter as Itachi wasn't there to fight, and because clones are usually weaker in everyway except shadow clones which are a forbidden jutsu and a double edge sword for people not Naruto. Example water clones. Same basic function as shadow clones weaker than the user.

Not at all. Its just the chakra thats effected. if someone has a strength stat of 4. After KB their strength stat is not going to be 2. Its just chakra.

Which really doesn't matter because the user may still be the same but the clone isn't the user, and aren't meant to be used to fight with anyway.
