Here we go again...I'm just going to paste an argument that I have been previously posting and saved it incase for future 'Nagato vs Itachi' threads. Itachi would loose Nagato. All of Itachi's main attacks can be countered-
1. Amaterasu - Manga has shown that Nagato can sense it and can be countered by Shinra Tensei.
2. Ninjutsu attacks- Can be absored by Preta Path. This includes Susano's Yasaka Magatama.
3. Complete/incomplete Susano- Susano is created from pure chakra of the user, therefore Preta Path comes in handy again. Another way to combat Susanoo would be Chibaku Tensei or Celestial Sphere, same thing. This would make Susanoo majestically float in the air leaving Itachi vulnerable from being pulled out by Bansho Tenin. Bear in mind that Susanoo takes up a lot of chakra and the users life as well, especially since Itachi is still on MS. Nagato either way can also summon Gedo Mazo.
4. Yata Mirror and Sword of Totsuka- Yes they are legendary items but they can still be manipulated by gravity. Who isnt to say that Bansho Tenin can pull out the sword from the hand of Susanoo or knock it off by large scale Shinra Tensei? If you are going to say "Itachi 1 shotted Nagato" then could you please refresh my memory of the events that lead to that please?
Complete Susanoo with yata mirror & totsuka sword vs Gedo Mazo? Gedo Mazo is double the size of susanoo from the looks of it so it has incredible strength as seen from the manga, Gedo Mazo's attack is the soul sucking dragons, which isnt chakra its a some sort of immaterial form therefore IMO Yata Mirror cant block it as it only blocks the five chakra elements. Totsuka sword stabbing Gedo Mazo to seal it? sure if it can land a stab on it. Even if it does stab, we dont know for sure if it can seal Gedo Mazo as its a summon statue. Yes I know its meant to "seal anything" it stabs but you cant take it literally. The sword of Kusanagi was meant to cut and pierce through anything as well.
5. Tsukuyomi- IMO this is the only main problem that Nagato would face as we're not sure whether Rinnegan has the advantage of resisting getting caught in a genjutsu. The genjutsu that Paths of Pain got caught at the same time was a sound genjutsu, Itachi has visual genjutsu. Itachi is intelligent but Nagato aint stupid either so I doubt he'd look Itachi in the eyes directly.
So there you go, almost all of Itachi's attacks can be countered but I dont think Itachi has any counters to most of Nagato's attack apart from staying inside his complete Susanoo, which is only good as his stamina in order to last. Important thing- Nagato can use all of the Rinnegan abilities simultaneously.
