Lol at totuskablade being out of the question when there is no evidence the totuska blade cant pierce the raiton armor. Even then, an amaterasu to the face is more than sufficient. Sasuke himslef said itachi was on a higher level than him, so no not comparable. I like how everyone assumes itachi will be standing like a lifeless scarecrow when he plenty of options to counter raikage's blitz. On chapter 555 pages 5-6 is a good example of why blitzing can easily back fire. You really think an S rank akatsuki, someome who had the wisdom of a hokage at age 7, anbu black ops captain st age 13 cant deal with a simple speed blitz? In fact, most kages in the series can deal with a speed blitz. Riakage will blitz himself into an exploding shadow clone, be disoriented, and from there he is dead since he was stupid enough to make that decision as his opening move.

Your whole blitzing doesn't work idea is moot when talking about Raikages they are allowed to be reckless. Who said he has tunnel vision when he attacks? He's shown great agility and even the Fourth Raikage could change his direction of attack in an instant. You are right to say there is no evidence stating TB can't penetrate Raikages shield. Your reference is a good one but Raikage was already disorientated by the rubble and he was an ET so he wasn't aloud to think for himself. Itachi's backstory is irrelevant. I get you're trying to use an Explosive clone to cause confusion even though it won't hurt Third but is Itachi fast enough to do that?? If Third doesn't know who Itachi is at the moment of the fight and Third underestimates him, Itachi could win. For example, like how Fourth and Sasuke at first contact just ran at each other. Fourth didn't blitz him like he did when dodging Amaterasu but if Itachi and Third run at each other and just taijutsu it up Itachi could make a clone with his invisible hand seals summon some crows then like a said before fall to the disorientation of the crows of which many have fallen to, the real Itachi appears, Tsukuyomi...Fin. But I like many people are taking it as "fight to the death" or "go all out" kind of battle so there is no reason for Third to hold back.
