^Is that canon though?

People tend to read too much into Sasuke vs Danzo. Sasuke at that point, had Susanoo, blaze release and a big heap of plot armor vs 73 year old Danzo who was more concerned with 'Madara'. Not really a good indication of strength.

Comparing what Danzo did to Shisui and what Itachi did to Danzo(Canon?) is also not a good comparison. Shisui was ambushed, while Itachi had all the preparation in the world. In the anime, Shisui was shown to be better at taijutsu and genjutsu than Itachi and if I'm not mistaken, Shisui taught Itachi how to summon crows and shurikenjutsu.
