KyfieLita68: '''Wiki classifies the illusion as non eye contact. Your opinion on that matter is irrelevant.'''

Opinion? That's exactly what happened, prove me wrong, show me the chapter that doesn't show what I said. Don't just talk about it, be about it. My "opinion" holds just as much relevance as yours. In fact more so, for 1) no one takes you seriously anymore. 2) My "opinion" is actually based off the Manga.

KyfieLita68: '''Crows can be used to levitate him up; negating Seedling Fern. Plus, it has no feats it can surprise attack an S-rank shinobi and a renowned speedster.'''

It definitely can when that person is in his Susano'o. If Madara can't react to sand fast enough, I see no reason why Itachi can react to spikes he didn't see coming.

Ninja of War: I don't think genjutsu would be a problem for Orochimaru since he has edos to use Chiyo's strategy to deal with Sharingan genjutsu.

That's a very very good point. That is indeed a great counter that might have Itachi on the ropes.

Ninja of War: I'm curious as to how you think Orochimaru would provide backup for Konan and Kimimaro.

I honestly don't know. We only seen him fight with his edo's once and he pretty much kicked back that entire fight until the end. I don't know if Orochimaru would even put himself in danger against Itachi. It honestly depends on the version, is this current Orochimaru or Shippuden prior to the war?

Ninja of War: Also what would Itachi's strategy be?

Itachi seems inconsistent to me. He was able to one shot Deidara, but doesn't really try to do so with anyone else really. Idk how Itachi will approach his opening move, however i know he's going to want to remove Kimi and Kon from the equation. The only way he can do that, is incapacitate with Genjutsu (but is countered by the strategy you said above), or being forced to use his Susano'o for the Totsuka blade to seal them. I don't really see anything else in his arsenal that would rid him of Edo's.
