They do know about his sharingan and would avoid eye contact but non eye contact genjutsu can play a big role here, using that followed by amaterasu to the face is a definite kill. Besides Ay knew about the sharingan yet he stared Madara in the eyes, thats tsukuyomi in this case. Also to know if he;s an uchiha or not they'll have to look at his eyes at the beginning...tsukuyomi again, but we know if this battle were to happen in the anime they would'nt do that. But playing smartm knowing you have unlimited reserves i dont see why not he wont do it that way, besides its kinda smart ;')

There is nothing indicating or stating Tsunade and Mei are 'slow' next to the rest. Tsunade routinely proved herself in the Madara fight and Mei was no deadweight there. We have seen Itachi telegraphs Amaterasu enormously upon initial buildup as well. And while he is doing that, four other Kages are simultaneously attacking him.

As for A? He didn't 'stare' Madara in the eyes. He was grabbed by Susanoo,when fighting 5 of them, when distracted by Tsunade's fight. It is not a situation Itachi can replicate.

Oh, and Edotensei is not 'unlimited resources'. We have seen several instances when an Edo is subject to the same limitation when alive (Gengetsu Hozuki, Mu, Minato and Tobirama), in some cases lacking chakra. It seems to be regenerating reserves but Itachi is subject to the same limits when he was alive. IE: he isn't going to be a multitasking, Bunshin spamming god.

I don't think the battle will be close, I think Itachi loses every time.

I don't think Itachi is anywhere near Madara's level (when they're both Edo's). That's not the point. Madara was so far above the Kage that it was laughable. Itachi doesn't need to be ludicrously above them in power to still pose a threat.

Which he is; a threat. Not hilariously outmatching the Kage like Madara, but he's a threat that they have to take seriously. Madara beats the 5 Kage 100 out of 100, and the 5 Kage beat Itachi 100 out of 100.

But Itachi, with all his skill and techniques, can take at least one Kage down with him, I think.

I don't see how he takes any down with him. The Kages have shown they're extraordinary when it comes to teamwork. I mean maybe, maybe, he gets off a lucky Tsukuyomi or something, but everything else he can do is given a hard counter.
