Sasuke spammed his in many battles and didn't go blind for awhile Itachi v Sasuke Intelligence: Itachi wins slightly as he was able to still maintain his composure in spite of being under the effects of White Rage. Taijutsu: Equal with Sasuke possibly having a slight edge due to his Choku Tomoe Ninjutsu: Itachi can cast the flames of Amaterasu that Sasuke can control and dispel with his right eye. Meanwhile, Sasuke can use those same flames for offensive and defensive purposes Genjutsu: Just with a normal Sharingan, Sasuke dispelled Tsukuyomi, so that's useless Speed: While they may be equal, Sasuke may have the edge in reaction timing due to his Choku Tomoe. The only reason Sasuke didn't react to Kabuto was because unlike Itachi, he didn't anticipate when Kabuto would strike, being distracted by the White Rage, going back to my intelligence comment. Chakra Reserves: Sasuke's is notably superior. Susanoo: Sasuke only needs to worry about the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror, though in the case of the latter, he didn't have Susanoo at his disposal at the time (and he managed to shatter Itachi's Susanoo once before without it), but now, Sasuke may have the potential to shatter the Mirror, but as this is only speculation, we'll dismiss this for now. Weaponry: They were equal in the Shuriken battle while, though Itachi is likely more skilled in the use of a sword due to being a highly trained ex-Anbu. Mangekyou usage: The Susanoo is literally Itachi's only remaining offence and defence to Sasuke, which, due to his chakra reserves and the side effects of the Mangekyou, that won't last too long. The winner: With mild difficulty due to the superior intelligence and Susanoo from Itachi, Sasuke wins.
