Hence why I said "From a narrative standpoint, Itachi would still meet his demise like he did only this time it would be less a case of the tragic hero throwing the fight all in the name of protecting Sasuke and moreso Sasuke finally serving justice as Kishimoto would not kill off Sasuke."

I mean if we just disregarded the narrative then yeah sure Itachi stomps yadda yadda yah but that's unlikely to have been the case from a storytelling standpoint.
