First off Itachi had zero sweat beads until he heard Sasuke learned the truth, before that Itachi was casually evading Killer B and trading blows with KCM Naruto. \

"In order to actually be able to control their actions, the user must implant a special talisman - generally attached to the end of a kunai - within the reincarnation's brain. The talisman's design determines how strong the control is:

At its most basic, the reincarnated souls retain their personality, giving them the freedom to approach a given task however they like so long as it broadly carries out the summoner's bidding. On the one hand, this makes them more useful in combat because they know how best to use their own abilities[7] and, if deployed against somebody they knew when they were alive, there is a possibility for psychological warfare.[8] On the other hand, although they are compelled to do as their summoner wishes and act without reluctance,[9] they can undermine their summoner to a degree, either by making poor decisions that opponents can take advantage of or by giving opponents advice about how to defeat them.[10] Despite its risks, Kabuto prefers this level of control. At its strongest level, the reincarnated soul's personality is entirely eliminated. The summoner instead controls all of their actions, even permitting them to speak through the reincarnation[11] or summon other reincarnated souls to their location. Although this guarantees the reincarnated soul will only ever act as desired, they are less resourceful and it requires the summoner's attention for every action that must be taken, making it difficult for them to multi-task depending on the circumstances. Orochimaru prefers this level of control. Kabuto has at times rewritten talismans remotely in order switch to this level of control when the situation calls for it.[12]

Kabuto and Orochimaru are able to strengthen the bindings they use through external means: Kabuto siphons chakra from the cursed seal Anko Mitarashi is branded with;[12] Orochimaru uses Senju cells.[13] On a related note, any level of control creates a traceable chakra signature between the reincarnated soul and their summoner, allowing reincarnated sensors to trace the summoner's location.[14] "

Then later we see Itachi going hand to hand in speed and taijutsu with Sage Mode Kabuto, who only ever hit Itachi with Surprise attacks when Sasuke was involved. All this while he was trying to protect Sasuke, keep Kabuto alive in order to not only save Kabuto but end Edo Tensei and Itachi did ended up succeeding in ALL of that. YOU are the one severely underestimating Itachi, I never said Itachi would win more than EMS Madara would win but you are SO BUTTHURT you absolutely refuse to accept that Itachi has ways to win too and that EMS Madara has NOTHING but EMS, chakra levels and destructive ninjutsu over Itachi. In fact this battle is hypothetical to begin with yet here you are crying about it.
