The Difference Between Prodigy Elites and Amateurs
Itachi is an Elite. A Prodigy Elite. Prodigy of Prodigies. And it will stay that way. His abilities are from his Kekkei Genkai, to his Genjutsu Mastery, to his Taijutsu or even Ninjutsu. He is an expert user of Genjutsu, even among the Uchiha Clan. And, is the best. Hence, the Prodigy part. His Genjutsu is so powerful, that he could cast a powerful Genjutsu simply by a glance, or as simple as pointing a finger at someone.
His other powers would come from his eyes. The Kekkei Genkai Dojutsu, the Sharingan. Or the Copy Wheel Eye. Even when using this, again, was a very powerful user of this, as well. And was the first to activate it, after Madara's time. He is a natural, and killed many by using this. Hence, the Elite part. He can use Amaterasu, his Susano'o with his Totsuka Blade, Magatama attacks, and the Mirror Shield which can reflect any Ninjutsu. Even against Sasuke's Kirin, it held to be quite formidable, indeed. Next, is Tsukuyomi. A Genjutsu which can last up to 72 hours. This could trick opponents to attack their teammates, or fry their brain by complete and utter illusion.
Katon and Suiton. His next abilities. He doesn't know much Ninjutsu, but had a 10/10 on hand seals. Amazingly fast. He could make close to 20 seals in 3 seconds. The jutsu he knows is: Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Fire Dragon Flame Projectile, Great Dragon Fire Technique, Water Clone Technique, Explosion Clone Technique, Crow Clone Technique, Mythical Fire Pheonix Technique, Amaterasu, and many more..
Name - Amaterasu
Type - Kekkei Genkai
Range - All ranges (0-10m+)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Amaterasu is an Eye Technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is one of the most powerful ninjutsu in existence, opposite of Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu of similar power. Itachi Uchiha was the first person shown in Naruto that could use Amaterasu. He later gave the power to Sasuke Uchiha. The jet-black flames are said to be as hot as the sun. Since the Mangekyo Sharingan is necessary to be able to use this technique, not many have learned it. All that is known is that it is extremely powerful since it can punch through Jiraiya's Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind, which Jiraiya states to be fire retardent.
Name - Bunshin Daibakuha
Type - A-Rank, Offensive
Range - Short range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - This jutsu works in combination with the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone that will explode on command. The blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill an attacker engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Name - Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu
Type - C-rank, Supplementary
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - The Crow Clone Technique is a type of Ninjutsu utilized by Itachi Uchiha. This jutsu appears to be similar to the Water Clone Technique, with the exception that after the clone has been destroyed the the body will disperse into a flock of crows, which can continue to speak and maintain a physical form. The capability of the crow form is unknown. However, Itachi was able to cast his Sharingan Genjutsu while in clone form, so it is likely no more limited than other such clone techniques.
Name - Magen: Kyo Tenchi-ten
Type - Kekkei genkai, Supplementary
Range - Short range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Using the Sharingan's jutsu-copying abilities, the user can turn any Genjutsu back onto its original user. Itachi Uchiha demonstrated to redirect Kurenai Yuhi's Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death, while Sasuke used it to reverse the effects of Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation.
Name - Magen?Kasegui
Type - Type: Kekkei genkai, Supplementary
Range - Close Range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Demonic Illusions: Shackling Stakes is a genjutsu used to prevent or trap a victim once he attempts to enter the users mind. The genjutsu, taking the form of giant stone stakes impaling the victim, binds the victim and leaves them at the mercy of the user. This technique was used twice on Orochimaru, first by Itachi Uchiha when he attempted to steal his body. When used, Itachi was able to bind, and cut off Orochimaru's hand without him being able to react. Years later, when Orochimaru used the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique to steal Sasuke Uchiha's body, Sasuke binding Orochimaru's spirit within his own body for his own use.
Name - Utakata
Type - Kekkei genkai, Supplementary
Range - Short range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Though unnamed in the series, this jutsu was named only in the video games. It is an advanced kekkei genkai Genjutsu in which Itachi doesn't need eye contact to activate, as well as the illusion being more realistic. Itachi activates it by pointing at the enemy with his index finger to form flocks of crows that transform into forms of shuriken that strike the enemy. In the first variation, Itachi summons a flock of crows to transform into normal shuriken to tear the enemy's flesh into the form of the enemy's closest friends to distract the enemy with guilt as one of them attempts to kill the enemy.
Name - Katon: Gōenkyū
Type - A-rank, Offensive
Range - Short-Long (0-20m)
Users - Itachi Uchiha
Hand Seals - Horse-Tiger
Details - Itachi exhales a meteor-sized sphere of fire that carries the enemy away and causes a massive explosion on impact. The impact causes the ground around Itachi to break apart while he remains unfazed. This is much like Fire Release: Great Fire Ball Technique, but a larger and more destructive version.
Name - Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu
Type - C-rank, Offensive
Range - Mid-range (5-10m)
Users - Sasuke Uchiha, Anko Mitarashi, Madara Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha
Hand Seals - Snake-Dragon-Rabbit-Tiger
Details - The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (and being able to melt rock), in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire. Also in the anime it is shown that it can used seperately without an object to travel along.
Name - Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu
Type - C-rank, Offensive
Range - Short Range (0-5m)
User - Uchiha Clan
Hand Seals - Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger
Details - After performing the necessary hand seals, a ninja inhales air via mouth, and utilizing a large amount of fire chakra, a ninja is able to spew a large fireball from their mouth, incinerating everything in range. The fireball ignites externally (as evidenced by Kakashi Hatake's ability to use the jutsu without burning his mask). The Uchiha clan uses the technique as a "coming of age" technique. Sasuke first used it against Kakashi, who believed Sasuke's chakra hasn't matured enough for the technique. The jutsu can be used as a sort of flamethrower and a large fireball.
Name - Katon: Housenka no Jutsu
Type - C-Rank, Offensive
Range - Short Range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Hand Seals - Rat, Tiger, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger
Details - This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, however, this jutsu is used as a distraction. Oki's form is less effective, shown when Naruto Uzumaki just brushed it away. Itachi uses this jutsu with Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, while in manga he uses only Great Fireball Technique.
Name - Sanzengarasu no Jutsu
Type - C-rank, Offensive/Supplementary
Range - Short to long-range (0-10m+)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - The user summon a murder of crows, these crows will fly around the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. A comrade can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more easily. Also the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Name - Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
Type - B-rank, Supplementary
User - Itachi Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki
Hand Seals - Tiger with left, and right, adjust to form cross
Details - Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. Unlike other clones, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can tell the difference during his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End, albeit they might just make him able to keep an eye on the original Naruto.
Name - Susanoo
Type - Kekkei genkai, Offensive, Defensive
Range - All Ranges
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Susanoo is a technique that creates a spiritual being resembling a yamabushi wielding the sacred Yata no Kagami (???, Eight Span Mirror), a mirror that's considered one of the three sacred treasures capable of reflecting all attacks, as a shield in its left hand, and in its right, the legendary Totsuka no Tsurugi (???, Ten Hands Long Sword), also known as the Sakenagi Longsword (????, Sakenagi no Tachi; Sake Cutter Longsword). The Totsuka no Tsurugi, commonly sheathed in a sake jar held by a third hand growing from Susanoo's right forearm, is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anything it pierces in an eternal dream-like illusion, and is described as the perfect counter to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword.[1] Like the Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, Susanoo is an ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Zetsu said that Susanoo's Totsuka Sword combined with the Yata mirror essentially makes Itachi invincible.
Name - Tsukuyomi
Type - Kekkei genkai, Supplementary
Range - Short range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - Named after the Shinto Moon god, Tsukuyomi is one of the most powerful Genjutsu in existence. It is unique to the Uchiha clan and only those with the Mangekyo Sharingan can perform it. When executed, the jutsu traps the target in an illusionary world that is completely controlled by the user. While it only takes a few seconds to complete in the real world, the user can make it seem as if days have passed for the target. Depending on the user's whim, they can either torture their target for days on end, or make them relive a traumatic event over and over. When the jutsu ends the resultant psychological trauma will render the target unable to fight for a while, and possibly suffer a complete mental breakdown.
Name - Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu
Type - C-rank, Supplementary
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones out of water. Like the other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to preform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, it can not travel very far from the original body. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water.
Name - Suiton: Suigadan
Type - B-rank, Offensive
Range - Short range (0-5m)
User - Itachi Uchiha
Details - This jutsu creates a circle of crushing water spikes around the opponent. It is very difficult to evade, however it will also require a sufficient water source nearby the target, preferably right below it.
Name - Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu
Type - B-rank, Offensive
Range - Short to Middle range (5-20m)
User - Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Kisame Hoshigaki +
