Who honestly cares about CT when Nagato doesn't even need to use it? OP says that they start a few dozen feet from each other with no impairments, health or mobility wise. Nagato ST'd Bee a good ways away and then appears right behind him without the guy (who is one of the fastest ninjas alive) noticing. And this is right before Nagato absorbs Gyuki's chakra and gets all healed up (for the most part anyway since his legs were still fucked). This means all he needs to do is blitz Itachi who can either -

1. Realise he can't win and try to run away only to be pulled back by a Bansho Ten'in. Or alternatively take a Chakra Laser/Rocket Punch/Missile Barrage up the ass resulting in -

- i) Itachi gets his soul ripped out

- ii) Itachi gets vaporised

- iii) Itachi gets mushed

- iv) Itachi gets blown up

2. Shoot Amaterasu which is Shinra Tensei'd back or just absorbed where -

- i) Itachi is burnt to death for the sins of patricide, matricide, numerous accounts of attempted fratricide, attempted murder, terrorism, torture and kidnapping

- ii) [See 1. i) for result]

3. He can bring up Susanoo as fast as possible where if it -

- i) has a fist/sword/TB (TB is very unlikely) to swing at Nagato it will be repelled with a Shinra Tensei. This sends Itachi flying where a few missiles/lasers etc. keep him busy long enough for Deva path to recharge. [See 1. i) for what happens next]

-ii) does not have a limb to swing Nagato uses Bansho Ten'in and rips out his soul or if the man can't be bothered to do so, just use one (or multiple) of the pointy implements the Asura path had when it tried to tear apart Tsunade to skewer Itachi

4. As Nagato is in possession of enough common sense to not look at an Uchiha's eyes, especially one that was in his own terrorist organisation, Itachi may try to use a normal genjutsu or his Ephemeral. And since this fails (not because of Rinnegan immunity but because of Nagato being a sensor, sensing it and using the Preta path to absorb Itachi's chakra), please refer to your favored form of death for Itachi in 1. or 3. ii)

In any of the above cases where Itachi is drawn towards Nagato his attempts at Taijutsu/Bukijutsu etc. are prevented by the Asura path. Any attempts of Ninjutsu/Genjutsu are prevented through the use of sensory capabilities and/or the Preta path.
