Izanami, or a tricky genjutsu, or a sustained clone feint (like the one that caught Madara.)



We don't know if Sasuke's Susano'o can block the Totsuka blade, which is hyped to be a flawless offense.
Izanami requires that Sasuke and Itachi feel the same physical sensation twice. How exactly is that possible when both are going to be in susanoo for the duration of the fight. Totsuka blade isn't hyped to penetrate anything whereas susanoo is hyped as a stronger defence in comparison. Susanoo also has better feats.

Clone feints won't work as Sasuke can always manifest ribcage susanoo. He can see chakra with the sharingan so the real Itachi's presence after Sasuke kills his clone will always be with Sasuke.

And seriously? Compare the hype:

Although the sword left his hands, it is still under Oro's control. The legendary sword moves through the air in synchrony with the motion of Oro's fingers.

The Kusanagi is summoned within Oro's body. It is his unique jutsu that does as he wills.
The sharpness of its blade provokes a cry of pain from even Enma who has a body as hard as steel!!

When it cuts through its victim, the blade is imbued with the deep red of blood.

There's a reason why Susanoo can boast perfect flawlessness in its offense and defense: the spiritual weapons it holds in both hands.

The Sword of Totsuka* in its right hand, which will mow down any kind of enemy

Substantial or spiritual, and then ninjutsu or physical attacks lose all kinds of significance before the god's efficacy.

-In its left and right hands are held the unparalleled, wondrous Sacred Treasures* of virtues miraculous.

-The sake flowing out of the gourd assumes the shape of a sword, becoming the Totsuka! In addition, the souls absorbed by it are sealed there.

-The Sword of Totsuka
One swing of the Sword of Kusanagi* has the power to throw the people it stabs into an genjutsu world of intoxicating dreams, and seal them away for eternity. The sword itself carries a fuuinjutsu.

..Actually its an ethereal weapon that says it has no "TRUE SOLID FORM" or something like that .. so its possible that it can go in and out of solidity (like ethereal states) And pierce through chakra ( like susano) And seal sasuke .

It has no true solid form because it's the liquid inside the jar. Since it's a liquid, it can change its shape in contact with the air forming a sword

It requires a repetitive action. Kabuto stabbed with a sword twice and triggered it.

If Sasuke stabs with Susano'o twice, it will trigger.

Totsuka blade isn't hyped to penetrate anything

"mow down any kind of enemy"

"perfectly flawless offense"

Debatable.

Clone feints won't work as Sasuke can always manifest ribcage susanoo. He can see chakra with the sharingan so the real Itachi's presence after Sasuke kills his clone will always be with Sasuke.

Itachi has tricked the Sharingan with clone feints before.

Like i've said, in terms of piercing power, original Kusanagi has greater hype since it's said it can cut through almost anything even diamond, when Totsuka has no hype whatsover concerning it. All what is said is that anything it pierces gets sealed, but it actually has to pierce the thing

It says steel though, not diamond.

when Totsuka has no hype whatsover concerning it.

The Totsuka is said to mow down any enemy, and is a flawless offense.

That seems like better piercing hype IMO.
