You know, do the same thing as Sasuke did with his lightning infused needles - pin them as far away from him as possible. Yeah, unlike Sasuke he doesn't have the means to prevent them from exploding, but at least Itachi will remain out of range. And no, lol, I was not saying Itachi can grab them and throw them back at Deidara - you know I'm not some Itachi fanwanker. I think he can use his sleight of hand tricks with his shuriken to divert their course and possibly prevent Deidara from throwing them at him. After all, he can't risk activating his C1 while he's still in blast range.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the C3 he threw in Sunagakure pre-made and he just summoned it? He needs to remain still to create a bomb of that size and caliber. And his C2 dragon did have to stand still in order to create the miniature-sized dragons that were aimed at Sasuke. That's enough time for Itachi to use Amaterasu.

And yeah, he could remain on top of one of Deidara's birds in order to avoid being caught by Kisame, but if we're gonna talk crossovers then Itachi can just as well use Susanoo's Yasaka Magatama to knock him off it. He can do the same with Deidara too. After all, we do know that the shuriken-beads travel at bijuu bomb speeds and the technique hailed by Itachi as his best long-range jutsu. And Kisame's Samehada can cut through and absorb Sasori's chakra threads. The fact that OP said the battle's gonna be set in a coast is all the better, considering Kisame can use existing water to not waste as much chakra - not that it matters, considering his chakra reserves are huge. What I'm saying is the second Sasori falls on the ground or in Kisame's Water Dome, he is done for. He can either by sealed by Totsuka and that prevents him from switching bodies, or Kisame can fuse with Samehada and just tear him bit by bit.
