@Combat No matter how many times these scenarios are analyzed, itwill always come down to Itachi bejng forced to use Susanoo and TB.

Moving onto scenario. Itachi at this point has NO other viable counter. If team oro is underground, Itachi can sense chakra when kimi uses bracken dance. But he cannot see underground, so Konan can tie explosive tags around Kimi bones.From this, once the grohnd is pjerced,and Itachi already starts to evade bracken, he will use susanoo for protection and the TB,but will also try to put the edos under genjutsu to immobolize them. This does not require eye contact, but if team oro is underground, it is a verg long shot.

So Itachi uses Amaterasu again. That takes care of the explosive tags, and negates the tips of the bones and could passably burn and blunt them. Then he does susanoo, because he needs to seal the edos away. But susanoo takes a few seconds, milliseconds, whatever to form at the feet. There is a crucial lag time that can be used for attacks.

Itachi obviously knows this. So he sends a barrage of shuriken with ama to block any area of attack around his feet. Oro has two options. He can either go straight up underground and yank Itachi down to the head or he can use ice release (new era oro research will most definitevely involve duplicate kekkai genkai, plus he has water realease too) to create a dome of ice of amaterasu thag will take a few seconds to burn through, creating a smoke screen, giving kimi a chance for bracken and konan time to use a smallwr version of the billion god paper technique, creating more smokescreens, with kore times for attacks.

Itachi is in the susanoo, but his genjutsu is negated by the smoke, so he cannot immobolize the edos, and oro can formulaye an attack plan.
