@Jason What does Kisame have that hard counters Frog Song. Or the swamp thing for that matter. Or the flaming oil ocean thing.

Yeah Pain would not back them up. If that were the case, Akatsuki wouldn't have people dying, he'd just kill their opponents when Zetsu told him that they were dying.

Destroying the universe bit came from the databook description right? And yeah you're comparing that to character statements because? You realize these people that you don't believe (Itachi and Pain) have never praised someone more than they're due? Apparently they only do that when it benefits you lol.

Kakashi was basically sparring with Hidan while keepin an eye on everyone else. His attention is divided lol. And it shows, he kept watching and when they were in trouble he immediately just ditched Hidan to go save them. If he focused entirely on Hidan, he'd have to not pay attention to them for a few minutes. After which they'd be dead. Yeah Hidan never got close to hurting Kakashi, so I wouldn't even be able to agree that he was "rivalling" him.

Can I back up that Kisame literally thinks to himself that he doesn't believe Itachi's motivations? Considering it happened I reckon I can lol. He literally thinks that Itachi is full of it.
