How would that change the outcome of that battle? Gai's gates don't work on chakra so Samehada would have been useless. It's as I said - a bad match-up. Just like Kisame is vulnerable against taijutsu users because they're not reliant on chakra, Danzo is weak against Uchiha because they pretty much are able to figure out all of his tricks. Also, their Susanoo prevents him from flanking them through all sides, which isn't the case with Kisame.

Although Danzo's Baku is stronger than any individual of Kisame's sharks, the sheer number of them, in conjunction with the use of Kisame's giant waterbubble, would push both Danzo and his Baku to their limits, taking a heavy toll on Danzo's Sharingan in the process, also almost preventing him from checking up to see how many he had left, which Kisame would have caught up on early in the fight after having slashed him or seeing Danzo being gnawed in two. Kisame is pretty perceptive and attentive so it shouldn't be so hard to figure out for him. While Kisame is at a disadvantage against genjutsu, he would undoubtedly cause some self injury to get out of it. The terrain really doesn't matter in this case, as Kisame has the chakra to create massive amounts of water and thus counter the dryness of the environment and Danzo relies on his wind release to fight, even if he has fire release and theoretically wood release (although that was mainly used to control his multible sharingan). Even if Kisame were to uncover Danzo's weakness, there's no genjutsu he can put him into to fool him. Kisame could hit him all he wants and he would still be able to respawn. And Danzo would be able to get out of Kisame's Water Dome by using his Wind release to traverse out of it, same thing he did in his fight against Sasuke. Or maybe use Baku as @Rachin123 suggested.

Danzo's one chance for a pyrhic victory would be to use the seal on his chest against Kisame, who would be able to move out of the way. Again, debatable. Even if Kisame got the upper hand, he would probably be tired. Furthermore, the only reason why Sasuke dodged it it's because Tobi who practically knew every of Danzo's dirty secrets told him to GTF out of the way. There would be no way for Kisame to predict the seal's expanding range and, as I said, he would probably be too tired to move out.
