Agreed, Orochimaru and Itachi are still on completely different levels than the young Uchiha and the fox brat. |

Almost a Cactuar

The one thing I don't ever see poeple state is that Itachi (when fighting Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi, and Gai) is that Akatsuki was not created by him, and that he was put up to this by someone more powerful. Now maybe the maybe I read was not translating well, but I still would have to believe that an organization would not let a rookie chuunin (as he never advanced, but he was ANBU captain afterall), join if he was stronger that themselves. Itachi is amazingly powerful, we saw Kakashi having major difficulty fighting him, and even two on one (Asuma and Kurenai) then literally didn't even touch him. So I would tend to believe that there is someone stronger, or knows how to control Itachi.
Back on topic...Itachi does seem like the kind of guy who would die trying to prove that he was the strongest ever, though we still don't know the gap of power between himself and Orochimaru. Though we saw Itachi fight Jiraiya, it looked like Jiraiya had it under control.....Strange because he's not supposed to be too much stronger than Orochimaru. Itachi could easily infiltrate Orochimaru's complex and destroy him, but he seems much more intent on getting Naruto. Another thing is how Jiraiya found out about Akatsuki, and organization of that caliber would not being giving their secrets out, which leads me to believe that there is someone, or was someone, that was a spy. Who knows, all we have now is speculation, I just hope to see somemore kickass fighting like in 71!! Karma |

Their are people at an higher echelon than Itachi in the Akatsuki, but that doesn't mean that they're stronger. Oro was one of the important member of the Akatsuki, but he admitted two times that he couldn't beat Itachi and that he left the Akatsuki because of this. If there was someone really stronger than Itachi in the Akatsuki why didn't Oro leave before? |

I think, if Itachi showed up during this story arc, it would be to capture Naruto while he has no strong protectors around to aid him (Jiraiya); he most definately wont be aiding the genin team.
I dont think he has any concern whatsoever about Sasuke, especially after his encounter with him. He knows that his brother is still very weak in comparison to him. I also dont think that the Akatsuki (and conversely, Itachi) are very concerned about Orochimaru, although they may become concerned with him should their goals intertwine. At the moment, they seem to be aiming for different things. |

But alas we do not know much about what Itachi has since he has never been tested in a battle. For all we know Itachi can summon some sort of Dragon lord,has some legendary weapon, and is faster than Gai. |

It's more then just simply having the Sharingan. Itachi himself admits that the only thing which could compete against his Mange Sharingan is a sharingan of his own blood. If Orochimaru gets this specific sharingan, then if there's a fight, it's simply filtered down to a battle of wills. Last thing Itachi would ever want is to give someone like Orochimaru an extra leg (at least that's my take on the whole resistance thing) Edit: This was the whole idea behind why I think Itachi doesn't want sasuke taken by Oro. Itachi can deal with some brat who wants to kill him for what he did to their parents... but we don't know fully the relationship between Oro and Itachi... for all we know those two could be holding a bigger grudge against each other then anything Sasuke could throw at Itachi (well not really ) |

Of course, that could be what you said, but the "his" in "his own blood" modifies Itachi in that setence, so it's kinda vague. |
