Sasori vs. Kakuzu could go either way. Hiruko is rendered useless once Kakuzu uses Doton: Domu. This would probably be broken by the Sandaime's Satetsu but Sasori brings this out before he uses his own body so he would be outnumbered by the masks. Once he brings out his main body though his Akahigi would tear through Kakuzu's masks while taking a lot of damage. Here lies the problem though, his remaining puppets don't have the brute force to break the Doton: Domu (this seems to be Kakuzu's main heart) while Kakuzu will not be able to get at Sasori that easily, and if he does Sasori could just body swap and lay low to get a surprise attack on which is still iffy at best. Unless Sasori uses his Iron Sand World Method once he brings out his Kazekage or uses his Akahigi after Hiruko is destroyed he will most likely lose the fight.

Konan vs. Deidara would most likely go to Konan since her paper would tear through most of his bombs before they reach her and his C4 would be nullified by her turning into paper where they can't do anything to her. So unless Deidara chooses to go nuclear on her, in which case its a tie, Konan wins.

Danzo vs. Itachi is the easiest one of these fights since Kotoamatsukami is almost useless (depending on who cast it first), if its Danzo then Itachi resets himself by using Shisui's 'Protect Konoha' on himself since Danzo is (in Shisui's opinion) a threat to Konoha. If its Itachi then he wins. If we disclude Kotoamatsukami then I'd say Itachi since in the series it shows Danzo being scared of him. Even with Itachi being practically blind (he still beats a stage two curse seal Sasuke who has Orochimaru's powers and then stomps Oro's strongest jutsu with laughable ease), Danzo who has a Sharingan/Hashirama arm still loses since his Mokuton wasn't nearly as good as Yamato's, his Futon loses to Itachi's Katon, his genjutsu is nowhere near as good as Tsukuyomi which is a one-shot jutsu since he will be in a coma before Izanami even activates. Even after all that Itachi still has his armored Susanoo (which has the Totsuka blade and Yata mirror) and Amaterasu.
