It's just that unlike Sasuke, there would be nothing he can do about it but attack relentlessly since he's not a genjutsu user. Danzo on the other hand can keep him at bay with his Wind Release jutsu and even summon Baku if push comes to shove. I also deliberately chose the location to accomodate to Danzo's abilities and hinder Kisame's water release jutsu, since he'd probably have to gather a lot more chakra to create his Water Dome. I think that's where his fusion with Samehada works best. And even then, Danzo would be able to use his vacuum jutsu to traverse through the water and out of the dome. Those are my two cents. I don't know what's location gonna do in this case? Kisame already has made sea in Sungakure.(See Guy Vs Kisame during kazekage retrieval mission) Baku could be countered with Kisame's multiple Shark summon. As I said before  He has taken down Lava styled Jinchuriki without Samehada that by itself shows how skilled kisame is even without sword. you still haven't said anything about the killing blow.
