Team 2. Amaterasu followed by Tsukuyomi finishes the Raikage off. For Sasuke Kabuto does what he was going to do here

This is a team based match up so amaterasu can be extinguished by Sasuke before the 3rd Raikage gets burnt. I just restricted genjutsu. What Kabuto did works more effectively in an enclosed space and it won't do much to the 3rd Raikage because of raiton armour boosting his neural lapses.

Team 1 wins. White Rage won't be effective enough to hinder the Raikage due to his Raiton Armor and this being an open space and not the cave like last time. Without that Kabuto has nothing on the Raikage. A Sasuke and Itachi confrontation will end with Itachi collapsing due to the MS strain of using Susanoo too long.

Hmm, that's really a tough one.

Amaterasu would honestly not be too much of a factor in that fight. Like we know, both Itachi and Sasuke can quell the flames with their eyes [ ] [ - ], meaning that if needed, both can protect themselves, and their partner if they get caught by the flames. Kabuto also has the Body Shedding technique [ ], which has been shown to be an effective counter to the Amaterasu [ ], and since Sasuke now has the EMS, quelling the fire would not take too much of a toll on him as Itachi, so all in all, I think that the Amaterasu would not become too much of a factor in this fight.

Now, if we look at the other techniques they have in their arsenal, I'd have to give it to the Third Raikage and EMS Sasuke. Sasuke has knowledge on Kabuto's Liquefying technique, and with the Raiton of the Raikage, I'd say that they could likely take him out, fairly quickly. The difficulty of that would depend on if Kabuto manages to get into Sage Mode or not. After that, the combined effort of Sasuke and the Raikage should be able to take out Itachi.

Shortly put, I'd give this to the Raikage and Sasuke, high diff.

Raikage and Sasuke. Too bad you restricted Genjutsu.

I thought this fight would be a stomp if genjutsu were a factor since the only one in team one with genjutsu is Sasuke but it can't do anything to Itachi or Kabuto. On the other hand, Kabuto's genjutsu is a big threat to both Sasuke and the Raikage. Itachi's Tsukiyomi and Izanami are also possible threats, mostly to the Sandaime.

If genjutsu were left unrestricted, I think the fight would be high difficulty but for Itachi and Kabuto.

Team 1 With Medium-High Difficulty

~Initial Observation~
Assuming The Third Raikage has activated his lightning armor, Kabuto's Body Fluid Shedding technique will be useless... Kabuto will constantly shift the battlefield using "Senpō: Muki Tensei", and travel at blinding speeds in order to keep from getting beheaded by Saindaime Raikage's "Ippon Nukite". This transaction lasts as long as it takes Sasuke to finish up Itachi.


EMS vs MS
Whilst both in their base forms, Itachi is capable of wiping the floor with Sasuke. Using combinations of crows, clones, and lightning fast Shunshin. Itachi has shown the ability to completely dominate Sasuke in taijutsu, but Sasuke's new found mastery of Enton allows him to keep Itachi at a reasonable distance(Even Raikage had a hard time landing a clean hit on Sasuke without severely damaging his own body). Itachi whips out his Magatama's, should Sasuke try and bring up his ribs, and this process repeats until Sasuke pulls out Susanoo, and wrecks Itachi with a well-aimed Susanoo arrow. Without Yata (It's debatable if it would block Susanoo's arrow) Itachi is finished.


Conclusion
Kabuto is left alone with Sasuke, and no notable way to defeat Sandaime Raikage. He is outmatched and overwhelmed after a while of slithering, and healing.

they dont really have anything to stop kabutos regeneration and reflexes. sasukes fastest attack was casually dodged. ammy is ineffective due to constant regen and itachi can extinguish it. white rage would affect itachi too but its worth it IMO. kidomarus webs cant be cut easily and can be spammed. but third is a jugggernaunt and kabuto likely cant defeat him without genjutsu. its a question of who outlasts the other
