I think Mangekyō Sasuke barely edges out a win here. Amaterasu and Susano’o are extremely OP and I don’t see Hebi Sasuke being able to dodge them forever. Keep in mind that Itachi was barely trying at all in their fight and moreover was sick and had low chakra reserves. This means that MS Sasuke can use Amaterasu at least 5 times before running out of chakra. Not to mention the Susano’o, which Hebi Sasuke doesn’t have a chance at breaking through.

While the CM 2 gives a considerable amp, everyone here is ignoring the chakra drain it causes. Sasuke hasn’t been able to maintain it for long (running out of chakra while fighting Deidara and Itachi with days in between). MS Sasuke went on a Kage gauntlet: fighting A for a considerable amount of time, managing to keep up with Gaara and then Mei then getting beaten by Ōnoki. He then soon after fought Danzō in a lengthy battle and won. He was even able to fend of Sakura and Kakashi and have a brief clash with Naruto.

This goes to show that Hebi Sasuke can’t just wait for MS Sasuke to run out of chakra especially if he’s fighting in CM 2. While Hebi Sasuke is smart, MS Sasuke isn’t stupid. He was able to figure out Izanagi relatively quickly.

Also Orochimaru only escaped when Hebi Sasuke lost control over his curse mark. This only happened due to his desperation to beat Itachi. Oro doesn’t only escape if Hebi Sasuke runs out of chakra (as seen against Deidara). While Hebi Sasuke can summon Manda, I think Amaterasu can deal with him (as well as the eight branches snake) relatively easily. We don’t even know if Manda will even listen to Hebi Sasuke. Putting him under genjutsu will cost Hebi Sasuke chakra, something he can’t afford to lose.

Basically it comes down to who runs out of chakra first.

Sorry for the long read, just putting what I think out there 😅
