.... and so I believe I’ve established how team oro would be underground.

Itachi would not simply activate susanoo. My mistake. He would probably launch a barrage of rigged weapons and ninjutsu at team oro.

(Please ignore the last two paragraphs of my last comment, because I was thinking of a situation right before susanoo.)

Ok. So. Let me reestablish the position of all the (original) ninjas in this fight. Edos are pretty much near each other, fronting some clones. Oro is underground near the Edos and clones. And Itachi is around them somewhere, but not very far away since I don’t believe that is really his fighting style, he seems to fight mid-range.

Now the smokescreens must have faded. So everyone can see each other clearly, and Itachi can simply spam genjustu over and over again on the edos, and take away oro’s edge. That is, if there are no smokescreens. Oro knows this is one of the biggest problems of the fight.

So it is a priority to disorient Itachi’s vision. Obviously, oro cannot hope to out-genjustu the genjustu prodigy. So another way to disorient would be to use up smokescreens or to use underground earth techniques to help make his position waver and disorient him a bit to let the Edos make a move.

Remember that time oro met the Iburi clan? That’s right, the clan who could turn into smoke. Clearly, if this is new era oro, he has used up a lot of tech for research and he could replicate techniques. So, he could do this: send a couple of snakes about form underground crevices around “itachi” or his clones, and then basically Smoke-no-Justu them (for lack of a better word).

Simultaneously, Konami could fling paper bombs attached to paper kunai at Itachi.

However, itachi would obviously not stay still. He’d be smart enough to be continuously moving, shifting positions, and throw ninjutsu and weapons at everything that was team oro. At the end, though, it still wouldn’t matter. Why? Because regardless of whatever he throws at the edos, they’ll regenerate.

So he’d go after oro. If he got oro to undo edo tensei by killing him, then game over. But he can’t do that for some reasons: 1) Oro can basically regenerate from almost any wounds, 2) Oro is hecka slinky and can clone snake clones all around to outmaneuver itachi, 3) he can do earth techniques and itachi cannot (said in wiki), 4) he could just use the whole Smoke-no Justu thing, 5) Kimimaro is intensely loyal to oro and would do anything with his kekkai genkai underground to inhibit itachi to do anything.

So basically itachi would be at the point where he’d be bombarded continually by smokescreens and earth technique under his feet dislocating his position.

He’d have to get Susannoo and use totsuka.

And then (apply the last three paragraphs from the Susanoo scenario here).
