I am not crating some magical Itachi here. Itachi before he died was able to use Ameterasu, Shadow clones, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo and other jutsu all in the same fight and he only died from illness at the end. People stating that Itachi had low stamina is hyperbole in itself, in the manga it is clear that Itachi has the chakra reserves to use several high level chakra taxing moves until he runs out. Did you see the scale of the ameterasu Itachi used (it covered the entire mountain area), and this would be able to counter most of Hashirama's mokuton techniques.

Itachi does not need to destroy, scracth or even climb Shinsusenju, he simply needs to do what Hashirama does (ride it as it is forming) and this would provide a pivotal chance for Itachi to strike as Hashirama has no where to run and he has limited the angles that he can strike Itachi from. Madara used 5 clones to crate five Susanoos, so I don't see your notion where Itachi can't summon Susanoo for a few seconds using a Shadow clone.

How does Totsuka blade take a full minute to strike an opponent. Are you really saying that both Orochimaru and Nagato require a full minute in order to even react to Itachi using his Totsuka blade to strike them?

Tsunade did not heal herself from Tsukuyomi did she?
