Itachi altho at full health, he still possesses a Normal Mangekyo...which means he gets all its drawbacks and pains, Gaara is basically immune against Amaterasu and Susanoo attacks cuz of the Sand Shield, Genjutsu wise he can use Sand Sensing or Third Eye like he did to counter Gengetsu's Genjutsus....plus he is a long range fighter and can fly, also possessing more chakra than Itachi. Unless its Tsukuyomi, it will be difficult for Itachi to capture him in that.if Gaara resorts to his large scale sand jutsus, Itachi is done honestly. Gaara knows of the Basic Susanoo's weakpoints....Itachi will already have a hard time maintaining his own Mangekyo techniques, fending off Sand Tsunami's and Sand Prisons and Surviving Giant Sand Burials, mixed in with Gaara's Magnet Release, while his Instantaneous Sand Shield blocks automatically...nah. Itachi may have more finesse as a ninja but Gaara has way more power, plus too many advantages not to point out, in all fairness.

The sand is too slow to keep up with itachi's movements, combined with the sharingans precognition most of gaara's long range abilities are made useless. The only thing he can do is try to cover a wide enough area with sand and try to use sand burial or sand coffin, even then susanoo tanks any technique gaara can throw at itachi.

Even if gaara yanks itachi out of the susanoo, itachi can simply reform the susanoo and there's no way he'll fall for the same trick twice. The sand shield is way too slow to keep up with itachi's speed. Even if gaara resorts to camping out in the sphere of sand, itachi will just impale it with the totsuka blade and its GG. If gaara comes out, then its a genjutsu and its GG, if he somehow breaks out, then its tsukuyomi and its GG. No, since the sand is so fast that it can react to the speed of the amateratsu thing that not even itachi could, the clone of water and oil (joki boi) is much faster than itachi and even so gaara is ingenuous to stop it

When did itachi fail to react to amaterasu? How do you know the joki boi is faster than itachi?? Sasuke and lee were faster than the sand, its not like the sand got faster as gaara grew older. Itachi is much faster than part 1 sasuke and lee so he's faster than the sand. Not to mention his sharingan will predict the sand's movements making it easier for him to dodge. You're talking about Gaara skills when he was a genin, now Gaara is a kage level ninja, you can not compare that. As I said before gaara has everything to stop itachi.

By feats shown in the anime and manga is more than obvious that the joki boi is faster than the arena. I realize that I'm wasting time explaining the same thing all the time, it's a shame I can not add images.
