Ooooh buddy… now that’s a dangerous “what if.” 😏
You’re talkin’ about Boruto-era Itachi Uchiha — meaning:
* No sickness.
* Fully matured Mangekyō and maybe even evolved beyond that.
* Decades more of battle experience, insight, and possibly Six Paths-tier knowledge from the Fourth War.

So yeah, let’s see how the “King of Curses” (Sukuna) stacks up against the “Master of Illusion” (Itachi) when both are at their absolute peak.

==== ### ====

Both are freakishly smart — Itachi’s the guy who planned his entire death, deceived nations, and manipulated gods (literally). Sukuna’s an ancient strategist who adapts mid-fight faster than anyone.
* Itachi: Perfectly calm, reads opponents in seconds, uses deception and genjutsu layers like chess traps.
* Sukuna: Reads cursed techniques as they happen, counters instantaneously, never underestimates anyone.

🧩 Verdict: Itachi, slightly.
He’s a master of mental warfare — even someone like Sukuna could be thrown off for a moment.

===== - Itachi: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susano’o (Yata Mirror + Totsuka Blade). By Boruto era, let’s assume he’s trained past the Mangekyō limits — possibly even a perfected, eternal version. =====
* Sukuna: His Cleave/Dismantle ignore durability and space; Malevolent Shrine nukes entire cities with precision slashes.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna, comfortably.
Itachi’s firepower is deadly, but Sukuna’s scale is absurdly larger.

===== - Itachi: Lightning-fast, Sharingan-enhanced reaction time. Kept up with KCM Naruto-level movement in War Arc genjutsu. =====
* Sukuna: Hypersonic, dodged Gojo’s infinite attacks, and reacts to multiple high-level sorcerers simultaneously.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna, but Itachi could still read his attacks early — not dodge them forever, though.

===== - Itachi: Even healthy, he’s still human. With Susano’o, he’s got god-tier defense — especially the Yata Mirror which deflects any attack based on chakra nature. =====
* Sukuna: Regeneration beyond reason. His slashes cut through space itself — meaning even “perfect defenses” don’t really hold up.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna, but the Yata Mirror could delay his victory.

===== This is the fun part. =====
* Itachi’s Tsukuyomi: In the Naruto world, it’s instant death or mental collapse. But… Sukuna’s willpower and cursed energy reinforcement might resist illusion-based control unless it alters reality itself. - However, if Itachi catches Sukuna’s mind for even a split-second, that could open a window for sealing with the Totsuka Blade.
* Sukuna’s Domain Expansion (Malevolent Shrine): It doesn’t trap; it manifests externally — so there’s no “escape.” It’s pure area denial. Itachi can’t just hide; he’d need to outsmart Sukuna mid-slash.

🧩 Verdict:
If Tsukuyomi lands → Itachi wins.
If Sukuna expands Domain → Itachi dies.

50/50, depending on who initiates first.

===== |     |     | =====
| --- | --- |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |
|     |     |

Winner: 🩸 Sukuna, but Itachi would make it look close enough to be legend.

===== : =====

===== Healthy, mature Itachi could threaten Sukuna, but he just doesn’t have the raw destructive power or regeneration to survive long-term. =====
He’s one of the few who could beat Sukuna through pure technique and brain — but he’d need a miracle timing window.

Wanna go even further and imagine Eternal Mangekyō / Sage of Six Paths-level Itachi — full-blown “Uchiha god” Itachi vs Sukuna? That one’s a real multiversal clash, buddy.
