Itachi love.... damn, i really get tired of reading this over and over again.

I mean there is God level shinobi like Naruto who has shown skills with base that actually kills a God like being, but many just put his base on Jonin level.

and then comes Itachi, whose greatest win is against only Hebi Sasuke and suddenly for no reason the guy is Madara level. such BS.

Ok... to be to the point.

Itachi is without a doubt a Kage level shinobi (nothing more). his gretest asset is his MS and his smarts.

in terms of power he probably ranks around low level Kage like Mei or Chojoro, but he overcomes this by his smarts.

in a one on one fight, Itachi can easily take out the above Kage and put up a decent fight against high tier Kage like Onoki or A and may win.

but with all 5 Kage on the field. he simply has no chance, edo or not.

as you said, the Kage know about his occular genjutsu powers so they will blind his vision with Mei's Hidden Mist. Gaara can simply scatter his sand around and sense Itachi.

there is no way he can dodge A.

nothing he has on him can safeguard him from dust release. it took down full body susanoo. even if he were to block it with Yata Mirror, he would be wide open for Tsunade or A to hit him. his body isnt going to survive a punch from them.

Gaara then just has to wrap him with his sand.
