Base Kabutomaru vs Alive Itachi

[Beans2]

A scaled-down version of an earlier battle. In addition to Edo Tensei and Manda II, Sage Mode is also restricted for Kabuto (He can still use Sound 5 techniques though!) Itachi is alive and sick. Itachi can't use his crow with Shisui's eye.

Location: Cave
Conditions/Restrictions: Already explained
Intel: Manga

Most of you will probably say Itachi wins, but please explain why!

Itachi wins because Kabuto has no feats in base mode. Its funny though, you had to literally take away his entire arsenal he has shown just to make it even for Itachi....

It's interesting though, Base Kabuto can counter Itachi's arsenal with relative ease. Oral Rebirth or liquidation shedding > Amaterasu, Kabuto knows not to look into Itachi's eyes, he can tank almost anything except Totsuka with liquidation and healing, he can use Jirobo's earth techniques or Kimimaro's bones to attack from below the Susano'o, Kidomaru's webs entangle Susano'o, Tayuya's genjutsu still affects him...he definitely stands a chance.
