You should probably split these into individual posts.

That being said, for the first fight I'm leaning towards Kakuzu. Not only does he have a ton of experience (he's was a shinobi at the same time as the first Hokage) but he's smart and calculating. During his last fight, after the first rasenshuriken didn't hit, he switched to a long distance style and went straight for Naruto's main body, ignoring the clones (he did kinda mess up though). And he can also split the masks off so they can fight independently. It would be extremely difficult for any one person to continuously dodge 4 different types of jutsu, while also worrying about what the main body is doing. I see Kakuzu smashing all the puppets Sasori brings out.

We didn't see a lot of Konan's abilities so I'm going for Deidara on this one. He has a wide variety of applications for his exploding clay, including the C4 which releases microscopic bombs into the air. I don't see Konan being able to counter that, especially since the only reason Sasuke survived is because if his lightning affinity.

The last fight depends on one thing: whether or not Danzo actually uses the Kotoamatsukami. I personally don't think he would, but if he does then the fight is over. If not, he would probably try to use the Izanagi, which Itachi has a counter for (Izanami). Itachi would need all of his fabled intelligence to survive this one.
