Does Itachi have explosive tags in this fight? If he does this fight becomes a lot easier. It's unlikely that Preta path can absorb the explosion from an explosive tag, because Nagato wasn't able to absorb Hanzo's explosive jutsu. Also, I don't think the explosion are literally composed of chakra in the case of explosive tags or in the case of Itachi's great clone explosion, the explosion is just caused by chakra.

So if he doesn't have explosive tags great clone explosion may be a viable option. There's always Deva path, but Deva probably can't blow away explosions, because they are instant.
