In a realistic scenario, where two character meets (Itachi and Kabuto), the user of Edo Tensei is not going use that jutsu if he thinks he can beat his opponent. Kabuto thought he can beat both Itachi and Sasuke without Edo Tensei and guess what, he lost. We can all think of thousands of "What If" scenario's, the end result will still remain the same. (You can try out all the what if scenario in the battledome. This is the library!)
All of Kabuto's Edo zombies are being shot down dead by the likes of Chouji, Omoi, Kankuro and Sai. Kabuto had many legendary shinobi's under his control, nearly all of them are at Kage level and beyond. He had Hanzo, Deidara, Sasori, Muu, Madara, 2nd Mizukage, 3rd Raikage, Kinkaku, Chiyo, Ginkaku, Nagato, Kakuzu and most of them lost against shinobi's weaker than them. Kakuzu, Deidara, Muu and 3rd Raikage can wipe out an entire army, so one would have thought Kabuto should have won this war by now without any problem, but so far he has been a real disappointment.
Edo Tensei drawbacks
- Kabuto cannot control all of the shinobi's at once
- Kabuto cannot control Edo zombie and fight at the same time
- Edo Zombie with high will power can break free (Hanzo)
- Kabuto does not know how to use a Shinobi power (Nagato knows how to use his power better than Kabuto)
- Kabuto does not have full knowledge on a shinobi powers/jutsu, so he has to let go some of the controls in order for the summons to be effective
- Some summons can turn on the user (Chiyo decided to tell the alliance of Hanzo's weakness)
- Every single shinobi Kabuto summoned, hates the jutsu and the user. They all wouldn't want to be controlled.
I seen many people state that "If Kabuto summoned Madara, Itachi would be dead." And I'm like "if Orochimaru summoned Hashirama, Itachi would be dead." "If Orochimaru stabbed Itachi with a Kunai, Itachi would be dead."
What people don't realize is that in a realistic scenario where the user acts in character will not summon Edo Tensei everytime they have a fight. Look at Orochimaru, in character, his not going to use Edo Tensei against everyone. He decided to use specifically Hashirama and Tobirama against Hiruzen to break him down emotionally.
So like I said, Kabuto mastered his Sage Mode and has all of the sound 4 abilities, so in character he will not use Edo Tensei against Itachi since he will think he can take him down without it.
One of the main reason why Kabuto does not use Edo Tensei when his fighting an opponent is that his opponent can defeat it before the coffins opens up. Hiruzen is known as the god of shinobi, the professor and he happens to know every single jutsu within the village. He believed that a Kunai/Shuriken attacks on the coffin before it opens up can stop his master (Tobirama) jutsu. So again in a realistic scenario against Itachi, the coffin would not open. Itachi has superior feats in shuriken/kunai throwing skills than Hiruzen. Itachi is faster, can throw more weapons and has the best accuracy in the manga. So if Kabuto attempted to summon Madara against Itachi, he would only be wasting his chakra.
In the end, it depends on the user of the jutsu. From the manga evidence, we know Kabuto and Orochimaru is not a good user of this jutsu. So that means the jutsu does not give them a huge power ups. From manga evidence we know Tobirama was better, since if he had Deidara under his control during the war, he would send him into a war on his own and spam C0.
