Good Point. To start off ill answer your other comment since im not very good at starting this off...
Well, since we assumed Itachi can put out Amaterasu there is a counter to the Masive Enton Spam, And i do believe they have a decent counter to Aoda:

Kisames Water Style: Super Exploding Water Shockwave Is big enough to trap Aoda, which in combination with his Water Prison Shark Dance Jutsu makes it very difficult for Sasuke and his summon to escape. Not only that but it also gives Kisame the advantage of Underwater combat, which he is an expert on.

Difficulting even further Sasukes escape we have Itachi, using long ranged attacks such as Yasaka Magatama to damage and distract Sasuke from getting out of the Water Dome.
Alright, I'll (hopefully) make this short.
First, let's take a look at what Kabuto said[top left panel]

He made Manda Stronger, bigger and better at sensing to create manda 2.
I'd like you to notice that he never mentioned teaching manda 2 how to swim, nor did he say he increased it's swim speed/it's general speed. This comes in handy when we take into consideration[bottom left]:

Manda 2 is a fast swimmer
Now, How is this relevant you may ask? Well, Manda 2 is simply a snake, and according NV (and some IRL instances TBH), snakes are able to traverse underwater. Therefore, Waterdome would in no way hinder sasuke as aoda can simply aid him in swimming away. Now, what makes this an even worse situation for Kisame is that he's up against an EMS user in here all alone - Itachi can't aid him because itachi can't breath under water - therefore kisame is at the mercy of massive Aoda, sasuke's Chidori lances, Susano'o swords, magatama's and arrows underneath the water. Infact, I can even upgrade all these to enton seeing as water doesn't put out enton, therefore, enton spam is completely viable here to roast kisamehade while he swims in pain. Kisamehade isn't fast enough to dodge an amaterasu, and, considering you completely removed itachi from this fight, he's at the mercy of amaterasu. Kisame is killed if he's ever foolish enough to use waterdome.
*Note, I know you'll say kisame absorbs these enton/susano'o attacks, but though this is true, he'd suffer damage first. Any attack he absorbs needs to come within close proximity and his absorption isn't like preta's which creates a barrier; nothing stops the attack from continuing on and harming him.
As to your last paragraph. Itachi can't do anything. He can't keep up with Kisamehade + aoda in the waterdome on his own, nor will he sit in the waterdome and drown. Out of waterdome, it simply becomes a battle of attrition between sasuke and Itachi. It's about whose susano'o drops first, and we both know whose own that is - itachi. Sasuke can hold is susano'o up for prolonged periods. I love itachi and all, but let's be honest, not only can he do nothing against sasuke(while he's in susano'o) without using his MS, he can also only use about 3-4 MS moves before massive exhaution and strain. Sure, kisame can replenish his chakra, but he can't replenish the onset of blindness from eye strain. The longer the match lasts, the more MS moves itachi uses, and the less vision he has, soon itachi will be a non factor and kisame seriously has no chance against an EMS user - he already admitted inferiority to itachi who, by now, is inferior to sasuke, bar genjutsu.
