Yea exactly, and if the raikage opens with a blitz he is gonna die pretty quickly. It only takes one hand sign for itachi to form an exploding shadow clone. Which will detonate a blitzing raikage. It wont kill him but in that disorientation amateradu and tsyukyomi end him, totuska blade not needed. If raikage start s smart and doesn't blitz immediately, his chances of winning go up because he indeed can dodge most of itachis non area of effect attacks. The finger assault did show the impressive feat of piercing throhgh rubber which does have electrical resistance, but rubber <<<< then susanoo. It did pierce his raiton armor too, but unless you guys think raiton armor> susanoo I dont see how we can know if it can pierce through susanoo completely. I think he can to an extent though. But even if he does to a degree he is now within range of itachis genjutsu and such. Raikage does have superior stamina by far, but with the raikage fighting style requiring close quarters combat he is more likely to be disoriented in some form when he gets close by itachi'sattack overlays. However there is the black lightning to consider as well
