Itachi can kill most of them via amaterasu, the only problem will be deva and preta path. If he could seal both of them via totsuka blade or take them out before the chikbaku tensei is launched, then Itachi can win. If Naruto could outsmart the pains using simple diversion and clones,itachi can do the same. Itachi's intelligent and tactics are much superior compared to that of naruto's. But if the chikbaku tensei is launched ,then itachi doesn't have enough firepoower to break out of it manually or destroy the core. Pain only uses the tensei to seal tailed beast ,so it will be highly unlikely that he may use it on Itachi as it cost large amount of chakra.
