Kakuzu: Dead on impact Hidan: Literally can't do anything Deidara: simply doesn't have the firepower. Also has finite supplies against a guy with infinite supplies. Sasori: Doesn't have the firepower.

That leaves Itachi, Kisame, Nagato and Konan.

Madara crushes Itachi. Seriously, nothing Itachi has ever done suggests he can compete. Kisame is a big troublemaker, but relies heavily on absorbtion and water jutsu, both which Madara counters. Nagato is a big troublemaker due to the Rinnegan, but his lack of mobility and reliance, by necessity, on the paths will get him killed. Konan's paper jutsu is powerful, but also a oneshot against an immortal being.

So Madara cleans the field with Deep Forest Emergence (the first four die), goes to 25-susanoo mode to deal with the survivors (Hidan dies, probably due to Human path. If you think Sasori made it this far, he dies).

Kisame and Nagato will be left standing. Madara can take out Kisame with a Tengai Shinsei (If you think Itachi makes it this far, the asteroid is what kills him. Konan, due to lack of feats, may survive until here. This is where she dies).

That makes it Nagato V Madara in 3 jutsu. And since Edo madara doesn't rely on Pains, he can use his Wood Clones to keep the Paths busy as he murders nagato.

Fin.
