@Uchihamasters Itachi would have to hit Kabuto with Totsuka Blade first, not only can Kabuto shed parts of his body, but he is also very fast and fought Itachi and Sasuke while being blind for a good portion of the fight using his other enhanced senses and chakra sensory perception. His speed can be seen when he quickly blitzed Itachi once he deactivated susanoo and cut him in half with both Itachi and Sasuke being shocked, especially Sasuke. Sasuke would have to hit Kabuto with the chidori sharp spear first, and Kabuto could either dodge or counter with his chakra scalpel (although briefly) and/or use snakes to get in the way.

Both of their amaterasus failed against Kabuto, all the amaterasus did was counter his manipulation of the environment. Sasuke stood there doing nothing half the time cause there was nothing he could do, his susanoo arrow didn't even hit him, and Itachi wasn't heavily weakened by edo tensei. Seriously, Tobirama said that Orochimaru had revived all of them at near full power and Kabuto mastered the edo tensei greater than any other user. There is nothing that implies that any of the edo tenseis were much weaker than when alive at all. Madara was only so strong because he was hyped up on Hashirama's Senjutsu chakra and OP regeneration abilities that were further enhanced by the senjutsu chakra, and Hashirama's chakra has a volume greater than that of Naruto, Minato, and Kurama's combined. That's why Madara was so beast when he was revived, he was using Hashirama's power.

He can utilize Tayuya's flute jutsu and his sage art white rage attack to paralyze any susanoo user and prevent them from even maintaining it. Only reason Sasuke and Itachi broke out of those attacks was because they had each other and Itachi was undead so he wasn't affected as much as Sasuke was by the white rage jutsu (he doesn't feel pain), individually, they would have been screwed.
