Yeah Kakashi's my favourite too. But my gut feeling tells that Itachi takes this fight. But the thing is, we've seen so little of Itachi's abilities outside of his MS jutsus. So I wanted to know what possible jutsus and strategies Itachi would use to defeat Kakashi.

There's genjutsu, of course, and Itachi is a master of that art even without the MS. Itachi can cast genjutsu on an entire battalion or platoon outside of a sensor's field. And even assuming that such a genjutsu can only be possible through the enhancement of the Mangekyo Sharingan, that feat still places Itachi leagues ahead of Kakashi in terms of genjutsu.

What would be interesting to discuss is how Itachi could beat Kakashi using ninjutsu and taijutsu. We know his shuriken jutsu is masterly. But does Itachi have any non-MS ninjutsu that can take out Kakashi?
