@Itachisempi

Well don't use the genjutsu argument because then someone will just cite shoten itachi vs naruto kakashi chiyo etc again while ignoring the context of that battle. Show how he overlays attacks, and uses feints when he fights. reference how he subsitutes with clones out of nowhere and gets them behind his opponents like he did to part one kakashi, like how he did to a SAGE MODE kabuto, and then was easily cutting his horns off from behind. cite how nagato and orochimaru can't react to totsuka blade. cite how konan has no way of penetrating susano'o with her bombs without significant prep time. Cite how konan got one shotted by one technique with like 0 speed feats from jiraiya, and she really has no good speed and reflex feats. Itachi overlays attacks when he fights, these 3 stand no chance. If oro wants any chance to beat itachi, he first needs an edo tensei that can react to the totsuka blade and is comparable to itachi in tactics. minato fits this bill, considering based on feats and his chunnin exam scores, itachi and minato are on the same playing field when it comes to intellect, and has the speed and reflexes to give itachi problems. This way, minato can FTG orochimaru around and actually give him a decent chance of setting up his techniques. Add in tobirama as well, who is highly experienced, fast, and smart, and I see orochimaru being able to defeat itachi.
