Man where do I begin.
This should be changed to 3T Itachi vs Kakuzu honestly. I've no idea what gave the OP the idea that this was a "balanced" battle.
Simply because you and others are under cutting the fact that Genjutsu isn't working with a character who can do partner method. And based on a manga fact that partner method counters this hard, then no it isn't a balance match, when Itachi has zero ways of putting him down.
The dude has 4 beings link to him, which can act as a
separate organism from him. Literally
any of the four inside of him can break him out just as simple as a perfect jinjuriki.
Itachi can perform Genjutsu that takes on a reality aspect.
This is what I already addressed when someone brought that up. Making Kakuzu think is reality doesnt change the fact that Kakuzu is still froze in real time. So obviously, before the match even begins, Kakuzu can simply give
commands to his other entities to break him out if he ever in a froze state. So no Kakuzu needs zero understanding that he is in Genjutsu when his entities can do that for him.
All of his techniques were shown to be shit tier speed. They were all omninous, but the speed severely lacked. If Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino had time to react how do you think Itachi would?? It's not hard to use your brain.
I dont think anywhere here thinks a simple element jutsu blast to the face takes out Itachi. What I wanted to point out here is that this is horrible logic to say his jutsu are pitiful for that reason. The only jutsus thats known for its speed launch , in basic element jutsu, is literally Raiton. There are
no other basic elements has even has a good stream speed launch, so dont even try to name one. What these element jutsu are good for, at least high level element users, is basically covering a wide range, limiting places for the opponent to fight on. Same logic as fighting Gaara and same logic fodder shinobi statement and reaction in countering Madara's
own Katon . Doesnt mean their jutsu is pitful lol.
So yes Itachi can avoid these jutsu with ease, doesnt change the fact that he is limited to where he can go right after. Especially when Kakuzu has jutsu that was built to take the opponents footing via Zukokku leaving Itachi vulnerable mid air. And a jutsu pack with massive pressure, even if missed, sending you flying in the air. (which also a good follow up for Zukokku , which can increase the flames size instead of its intensity). Which also, literally summoning crows in this fight are literally ineffective for this match up.
Kakuzu being Hashirama's age obviously hasn't done him any good if he got fooled by a shadow clone feint
Name any shadow clone user has been as cunning as Naruto's usage? Lol zero. You can't name any Clone user that would have risk their life, mixing in with their own clones to execute their plan. Kakuzu failing to see Naruto do something stupid in his eyes, doesnt make him dumb. Then theres the fact that Kakuzu feared his jutsu, didnt enable him to think straight the first time. What does 3T Itachi have that makes him as scared as FRS? Nothing.
Lol? Kakuzu being able to detach his threads isn't even a legit counter to Amaterasu. Please tell them to stop the Kakuzu wank (I already know I'm going to get a whole bunch of dislikes from them watch). Itachi was even shown to use Amaterasu on two different targets simultaneously. Who's to say Itachi won't simply use Amaterasu on separate locations of Kakuzu's body? Or just use it on his head?
You thinking its not a legit counter by using illegitimate reasoning doesnt help. The jutsu works of Itachi's line of sight. So what happens when Itachi can only target what he see via shield of Jingou. Then he is literally going to burn a shield of Jingou obviously. But apparently this is considering wank using logic and reasoning.
Although it doesnt help Kakuzu, if Itachi decides to lock on him the second round shot, I already addressed Kakuzu's option, to take advantage by going underground (though full intel only needs to try this in one shot anywhere). Itachi locked-on (away from LoS) can get wacked by Kakuzu, simply by having his hearts travel, grab him and subjugate him from underground assault. Which he can follow up with them underground too, using Jingou spares as a decoy, much like Sasuke's substitution.
I used to think Kakuzu counter Shikimaru shadow was basically his arm digging underground but it seems pretty clear at this point that Kakuzu (along with Mask) can actually use HLM jutsu. Simply because when one normally digs the ground, they leave a trail of what they broken down via as Shikimaru end up taking advantage of in the Chunin exam from Naruto. HLM doesnt always leave holes as when Deidara and Obito shown but Kabuto and Kakashi did,
going in.

Stop the wank (I already know I'm going to get a whole bunch of dislikes from them watch).
The irony.
