yep, pretty much XD it's the most effective way to take on kakuzu no doubt

i recommend itachi edo more than itachi kimono if you want to battle kakuzu with water main honestly, it's way more reliable. Problem is that first round, even if you have itachi edo on the field, kakuzu can do insane damage anyways. If you have good resistances and you can last the first round, probably you can win easily, just need to land that control on kakuzu most of the time, which in theory shouldn't be a problem since azure can increase her own critical rate and her mystery has extra critical rate.

This team is way better used on sage world, since you have susanoo kakashi there, you will always hit naruto 6p if you're battling one

Another team:

Since they are giving kakashi anbu on monthly rewards i'm gonna assume his skill trials are coming

With this team you'll have roots that boost your resis by 100% and also itachi edo cutting the opponents ninjutsu dmg in half.

Kakashi anbu will make 2 anbu ninja hide (must be kakashi himself and itachi edo) so you can't use either danzo or shisui for barrier. This is so that itachi edo's mystery can't be blocked and you will have a chance of controlling kakuzu with itachi edo without having to worry about kakuzu blocking you. Kakashi with Y+1 mystery will have a promt mystery that can remove super armor. Since kakashi with +2 chase can boost his own attack he will become a beast dealing crazy amounts of damage.

Keep in mind this is only theory, they might end up nerfing him like they did with shizuka so if it doesn't work don't blame me xD

usually the kakuzu users use him with edo itachi so it's always better to have someone to transfer status on your team xD looks like a team that can give kakuzu some trouble, specially since ignition is the worst debuff that kakuzu can have, with ignition he can't heal xD i would put water main first move though since kakuzu can easily block someone who's a 2nd move and if you have huge critical rate chances are that water main will control most of the guys team first round. Nice team man ^^

well i can just use itachi on kisame xD

kakuzu will be nerfed anyways because you cant attack if you have more than 50 chakra, so your damage will still be very nerfed thanks to that

shizuka was supposed to be a great way to beat kakuzu but they completely ruined her by changing her mystery, now you can't interrupt anyone using kakuzu cause they don't spend chakra...

* even if i have better stats than the guy i'm fighting, even using sharkbomb, i fought a guy and only on round 4 did i land a critical hit on him lol so i'm guessing that with the poison mystery i won't land a crit as well xD

well your kushina gets buffed with every attack she receives, if you can make sure kakuzu is nerfed with death mirage i think kushina will be way stronger than him... Problem is that the fight will probably last 10 rounds and it will be naruto 6p type battles all over again xD

in game it says that kinkaku's standard reduces enemy damage by 20%... It might be another error in translation idk

true that team with a super stacked yagura is very hard to beat even if they are using kakuzu, but the control rate on kushina has to be pretty good in order to immobilize kakuzu

sounds like an interesting team, i thought about using that ningendo too but with sasuke rinnesharingan for a bigger chance of chaos during round 1 since it's the 45% from ningendo and the 45% from sasuke... It seems that many teams work vs kakuzu, and in the future there will even be more chars that can give him trouble... Problem with those teams is that you can only use them on space time if you're sure the guy will use kakuzu, which he most likely will xD

that's why i added gakido to the team, use gakido's shield on itachi kimono and you c*e itachi kimono's barrier once again without giving a fighting chance to kakuzu.

This applies to the more common kakuzu squads, ofc if you battle a kakuzu with a barrier ninja beside him it's way more tricky to battle them cause you have to concern yourself with their manual barrier ninja

I'll add one character even better, but you need his skill trial: shikamaru chuunin with his mystery y+1 can do the same thing that gakido does, and with shikamaru chuunin you will have that 100% resis and defense for the first 2 rounds, which can help a LOT, this will affect itachi, firemain, just won't affect bee or naruto... But you c*e ino summer too i think it works well

that's true... But in the english version he seems way more broken than in the CN version, specially in arena... I literally lost in round 2 using itachi edo and earth main with resis passive cause kakuzu was dealing all criticals and 3k of damage. If i didn't have itachi i would be eating 6k + 6k, so on round 1 my team would be dead... Not fair

yea on arena, edo itachi is a must have now or there isn't a single chance of winning... Still we need a hard hitting character that can hit kakuzu, guy 7 gates can do the job for sure, but he needs to be in front of kakuzu, good thing kakuzu users don't have any originality and just use him in the middle like everyone else does. Shira is also a pretty good hard hitter but like raikage attacking a random character, kinda depends a lot on luck...
