Elaborate, Orochimaru can relatively counter everything in Itachi's arsenal.There is no way.
Unless white zetsu can use Mokuton. Which I have not seen, but I am very forgetful.
Mind you, Itachi is analytically smarter than Itachi, albeit Orochimaru has the second most knowledge in all of the manga. But, with Amaterasu hitting Orochimaru, Orochimaru will be forced to use Oral Rebirth. As the new body comes out, Itachi can manipulate the flames to go to the new body. And if things get really tricky, he can always Totsuka blitz.Elaborate, Orochimaru can relatively counter everything in Itachi's arsenal.
Kakashi > Itachi.I don't even see Oro beating Kakashi let alone Itachi
This. Hypothetically he could beat him, but adding a senju body to his abilities does not stop the genjutsu trap Itachi used in their first encounter.Needs feats to suffice. I see him obtaining Ryuu-Sennin Modo down the line anyways, on top of ridiculous reserves courtesy of Hashirama's cells, Mokuton AND all his forbidden jutsu, amplified by Senjutsu, he'll be a formidable source.
Improved Shadow Clone shits on Amaterasu.Mind you, Itachi is analytically smarter than Itachi, albeit Orochimaru has the second most knowledge in all of the manga.

But if white Zetsu can use Mokuton [scans please] Orochimaru has better chances.
You realize it takes longer to make clones than it does to use Amaterasu? Amaterasu is one of the quickest techniques in the manga.Improved Shadow Clone shits on Amaterasu.
2 separate sensory abilities followed by Hiding Like a Mole, Mayfly or Attack Prevention shit on Amaterasu.
Are you mad or something? Because Tobirama can beat Itachi. And Kakashi rofl stomps Itachi.Itachi > Kakashi > Tobirama
