Uhm, Pain, duh? I mean at least if we are talking in terms of the same six on one battle that Naruto had with him.

It is like a battle of Visual Prowess. Sure, Itachi's Sharingan cannot be understimated by just about anyone but we are talking about all six abilities of the Rinnegan including gravitational attraction/repulsion, summoning multiple beasts, absrobing Ninjutsu, morphing your body into weapons and armor etc.

Itachi's Susano'o and Amaterasu can likely do damage at first but the black flames can be absorbed by one of Pain's bodies and even if the others can't, the Pain that can summon the King of Hell can still heal any of them completely. So Itachi's only chance is Genjutsu but I am not sure how that would work since he probably won't be able to use it on all of them at once.

And finally, the Pain using Yahiko's body was able to single-handedly withstand the power of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. That was likely because the other five were beaten but it still counts as he is objectively the hardest to put down. So Itachi will be able to defeat a few of them but definitely not all.
