But on topic.

I just don't see Konan beating Kisame. Though he can't hurt her, he can outlast her and that's how he wins. It'll just be a water vs. paper battle until Kisame wins.

Nagato vs Itachi would be some battle. Itachi's ninjutsu would be nullified. Even Amaterasu. He has genjutsu, but I'm sure that Nagato would know not to look at Itachi and he's a sensor so he won't have to actually use his eyes to fight Itachi. Nagato has several bomb and blast attacks to attack Itachi from mid to long range. The biggest concern is Susanoo. Susanoo has some pretty hefty defense. But I'm quite sure moves like Almighty Push would push it back, without enough force. Not to mention Nagato's giant summonings who can ram it and keep Itachi distracted. Nagato could use Chibaku Tensei. Yes Itachi could attack its core, we gave proof that one Yasaka Magatama would be enough to destroy it. Either way, keeping up Susanoo will take a significant strain on Itachi. I'm putting my money on Nagato with mid to high difficulty.
