Man, this thread is going wild. XD
Let me make it simple, itachi won against perfect sage mode kabuto while protecting EMS sasuke in between. Also, I believe itachi has put someone under genjutsu without them looking at him, by using his finger if I remember it correctly, and it was either naruto or kakashi I don't really remember.
you forgot to mention the time where sage kabuto just cut itachi in half outta frustration...
It's tricky to say who woulda won, on one side you have itachi who is one of the most powerful ninja in the series on Naruto...with basically is only weakness being stamina, and the other side you have 3rd raikage, who basically can take a hit from a rasenshuriken from a KCM naruto and still get up like it was nothing, remember when madara absorbed his rasenshuriken then stated "too much energy" meaning he didnt absorb all of it, for raikage to take that hit, means he's hella tanky, and i think i seen someone that 3rd raikage is faster than 4th raikage, remember this is a guy who fought thousands of ninjas in one night i think, as stated in the manga i believe, so it would be a battle either of endurance or wits, it would be hard to tell who woulda won, solely ba
You forgot to mention Itachi could one shot him at any time with Totsuka Blade which cannot be dodged since it's some form of spirtual sake, and his speed is ranked 5/5 in the databooks, higher than Sasuke/Kakashi/Lee, who only have 4.5. Totsuka Blade can materialize just as fast as the Susanoo, since it's part of it. And Itachi did that while Kirin which is lightning was trying to reach him.
Also he didn't mean to kill him, because then they would be stuck with Edo Tensei units running around.
Kabuto is literal * compared to Itachi. He'd just destroy him in a second like he did with Orochimaru every time he met him. Orochimaru who supposedly has more tricks up his sleeve.
When he cut him I believe Izanami was already taking place, and Itachi knew nothing would happen to him if he got hurt, since he was Edo. He wanted to fini* quick so Sasuke wouldn't get hurt.
ofc itachi strongest weapon imo is his wits...he's one of the if not the best *yzer in a battlefield, and ofc the battle experience he carries, is a plus, kabuto barely had that compared to him, so itachi knew how to fight and how to approach hard situations, similar to kaguya vs naruto and sasuke, she had the power, but lacked the experience to fight properly.
