Itachi Stronger than Orochimaru

Viz, Orochimaru: That all would not have been necessary if we had been able to rope in Uchiha Itachi from the beginning... But that dream has died...He is stronger than I.

NJT, そもそも　あのうちはイタチを手に入れることが出来れば
問題はなかった・・・・・・
If we had gotten our hands on Uchiha Itachi in the first place then we wouldn't have had a problem

しかし
Nevertheless

それは　もはや叶わぬ夢・・・
That dream is no longer possible...

彼は
私以上に強い・・・
He is stronger than I am..."
