the only that allow itachi to break edo tensei is shisui eyes and that is not itachi ability without that itachi cant break edo tensai
That's not the point,the point is his geniusness allowed him to do this.Itachi can plan something that will succed even after death.Shikamaru is better strategy wise, but overall it's Itachi

actually he do not take too long thinking about that dude remember when asuma fight with hidan ?
Remember the fight with Tayuya? He hid himself somewhere to make that hand-sign to think and it took a while.
You don´t have any time to think like that in the heat of battle.

so what will itachi do when he is trapped in shikamarus shadow bind
Burn him with amaterasu

Well if I'm in the middle of a battle and I can only choose one to come with me I'd choose Itachi (more strength of course).

It's hard to say for a fact. We've only seen Itachi quickly come up with a battle plan once with Naruto and Bee against Nagato. We've seen Shikamaru's strategies far more often in battle. Granted Itachi's long term planning is something he has that we've never seen from Shikamaru. Hard to be accurate with inadequate data.

We've never seen it from shikamaru because shikamaru never was presented with a scenario in which he had to plan a series of events in order to accomplish a very obscure long-term goal.

If you ask me who is smarter:A) Someone who has all the time in the world to plan lots of moves outside of battle,
B) someone who can formulate strategies and many moves ahead of the opponent in battle while they are the underdog in the fight, I would go with person B.

They're both Geniuses in my book. Shikamaru is not strong but planned how to take down an akatsuki alone after one encounter. He figured out Hidan's entire ability and used it to his advantage to take Kakuzu's heart by replacing the blood, then he took down Hidan with brain power. If Shikamaru made a few wrong moves he would've been toast. In the chuunin exam he tried that girl into headbutted a wall backwards.

Itachi had his little brother in an illusion till death. Itachi found ways around Nagato's field of vision and that gravitational pull. He even had a back up plan to stop Sasuke with Shuisui's eye after death (if Sasuke went bad).

itachi is smarter, his plans always succeeded
by what we saw about itachi ,he always had big advantages to know all the infos about everything (kakashi ,sasuke,konoha,pein,madara,danzou...) .With shikamaru it's a different level,he is very limited about jutsus and the situations was extremely hard for him ,no mangekyou , no genjutsu no gekkei genkei etc... only pure intelligence ,he find always the solution like we can see with kakuzu and hidan (1st fight) .
Same for kakashi and jiraiya ,it's extremelly hard to fight the unknown ( itachi's mangekyou , pein , etc...)
