The statement would not be true because the reason wouldn't be sasuke's skill, but itachi. The scaling of hashirama and madara's destructive ability is too great for itachi. Idk where you got that head.

Before this chapter, i would have said madara, but i'll give itachi a chance. They also say that if itachi ever got. Everyone says madara stomps itachi, but the creator of naruto said that itachi would easily defeat madara which is the main reason he had to die.
Sasuke called itachi out, stating that itachi couldn't have wiped out the clan alone.
But madara is quite a reckless character and rather have fun than seriously go out this is the opposite with itachi who ends fights as quickly as possible this might screw madara over r1. The only character w/o six paths/ten tails shit that has a chance vs hashi/madara is kabuto and that's. At 13 madara was already one of if not the strongest uchiha and was consistently contracted to fight for other clans since then and senju were the strongest clans. The deal between obito and itachi was predicated on the idea that itachi thought he.
If it was actually due to itachi weakening the genjutsu somehow, this db statement would be wrong. The only version of madara that doesnt absolutely lolstomp a prime, healthy itachi is himself during the great war time period, probably before izuna dies and grants him ems. Madara did have many more slip ups compared to itachi but it was also because he lived far longer than itachi did to make those mistakes. Its very hard to correctly determine who was.
