He barely opened his eyes and Kakashi already was freaking out telling them to shut their eyes. All three are experienced Jonin (Kurenai less so, but her Genjutsu skills are supposedly top-notch).

So will Kakashi and Gai make Itachi strain if he goes full out? Kakashi mentioned he hadn't shown half of his power before Tsukuyomi. I know the battle is in part 2, but is everyone really sure that they'd handle it so well? 30% of Itachi was keeping up well with Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Chiyo. Kakashi got stronger since, but that was only 30% of Itachi. Going by Kakashi's WW-IV feats, he can stand up to Itachi for an appreciable amount of time. Kakashi's main role in this fight would be distracting Itachi with his versatile skillset and battle tactics. Kakashi just might be able to create an opening, which would allow Guy to land a hit and finish him off. Of course, it won't be that easy. Itachi is a monster no matter how you look at it. But so is Guy in his own way. Kakashi? Not so much. But Kakashi's strategic mind and versatility in ninjutsu will ensure that Itachi will be distracted for a while. And I believe Guy will be able to finish Itachi off before Itachi makes mincemeat out of Kakashi.
