Sasuke Uchiha vs Itachi Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha 1–1 Itachi Uchiha across 2 recorded results

1 winSasuke UchihaNaruto · rank 6
2 places
1 winItachi UchihaNaruto · rank 8

One each, and the tie goes to the later fight, but this is the pair where that rule sits least comfortably. The first meeting is Part I, a boy against the brother he was chasing, and it ends fast. The second ends with Itachi dead, and a later chapter explains that he was ill and steering the fight towards his own death. Sixth over eighth agrees with the outcome without leaning on it, since Sasuke's place comes from the war. If that explanation is right, the second win says more about Itachi's choices than his limits.

The other half of every fight in the tier above him, and the half that brings the tools rather than the volume — the Rinnegan lets him move between the same dimensions Kaguya uses to escape, which is what turns those fights from unwinnable into merely desperate. Carries the identical paperwork problem to Naruto: never promoted past the entry grade, having left the village before any retest could happen.

Part IShippudencomicanimation

Joint holder of the largest figure the books ever issued, and he does not survive to meet anything in the tier above him. The record supports the number as far as it goes — a complete Susanoo, a genjutsu nobody counters honestly, and a fight against his own brother that he loses on purpose while dying of an illness. What it cannot do is compare him to opponents who arrived after the book went to print.

What this does not settle

2 results, each cited, and the tally counts every one of them the same. That is its rough edge: a win at one side's lowest weighs as much as a win at its peak, which is why a level score goes to the latest result rather than to a judgement about which fight mattered. It is a record of meetings, not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from these 2 citations.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
