But that's the whole reason he beat Shisui in the first place, no-one expected him to use Izanagi to break out of a genjutsu. If Danzo can activate Izanagi in time to counter Shisui's genjustu, I think he would be wary enough to activate it as soon as Itachi gets close. Also Danzo has the Kotoamatsukami which Itachi may not be expecting. I think Itachi would still win this fight, just not as easily as everyone else seems to think.
