Alright folks, I'm about to give this guy Naruto's paper d
ick to ride on, because he's had enough of KG's. It's sickening TBH
Imma start by countering everything in Itachi's arsenal.
Genjutsu
Tsukoyomi and other techniques
Tsukoyomi is one of Itachi's strongest techniques. I would agree that if Naruto is caught, it would be an instant KO. However Naruto has multiple ways of dealing with Itachi's genjutsu
1. By simply closing his eyes, Naruto would shut down any and all attempts from Itachi in using genjutsu. Now you might say that Naruto isn't as good as Kabut when it comes to fighting with his eyes closed, but Naruto has been in similar situations

Naruto would have no problem fighting with his eyes closed
2. By having clones all over the battlefield. A canon counter to Tsukoyomi. All other genjutsus would fail against clones as well.
3. By summoning Ma, and having her set up Dust cloud technique. It is a senpou technique, meaning it contains senjutsu, which would make Itachi to not see Naruto in the cloud of dust. I will elaborate on this later, as it's a great technique for Naruto to use in this battle
Naruto can counter any genjutsu in Itachi's arsenal like this.
Izanami shouldn't even be brought here, as it doesn't even work on Naruto.
Taijutsu
Now this is where both opponents are neck and neck. Itachi for his evasive skills, and Naruto for his usage of Frog kata.
In a cqc, Naruto's usage of Frog Kata would be Itachi's downfall. Not only one hit would kill Itachi, Itachi has no way of seeing the energy Naruto uses for frog kata.

Itachi has to be trained in using senjutsu to sense frog kata, which he isn't

Same is with Naruto's frog Kata, as it is senjutsu. As I previously said, Dust cloud technique is also a senpou, containing senjutsu. Itachi won't be able to see Naruto in the dust cloud either, if Naruto decides to engage Itachi in the cloud.
Itachi's speed is no problem either in cqc. Itachi was matching KCM Naruto, which by fact, is an inferior mode in cqc and danger sensing

Kabut also had no problem dealing with Itachi in cqc, which he was only caught because he forgot he had grown horns.
Shurikenjutsu is also easily countered by Naruto's far superior number in clones. No matter what Itachi does, he can't outmatch Naruto's sheer shuriken and knife quantity, used by clones, with himself and clones. If Itachi tries to use knives and shurikens, he'd face an insurmountable number of shurikens used by Naruto and his clone. Itachi needs to use susanoo to avoid all the shurikens from Naruto
Crow clones aren't even a factor since Itachi doesn't have anyone here distracting Naruto, with Naruto's full attention towards Itachi. The location is a destroyed Leaf village, so Itachi has no place to hide and create crow clones
Ninjutsu
Itachi's small Water release is easily countered by Ma's senjutsu enhanced fire release. Pa can add his wind release to even make it easier to counter water release
Itachi's fire release is also countered by Pa's water release. Ma can add wind to strengthen it out even more.
Amaterasu is a tricky technique to counter. But Naruto has couple of ways to counter it.
By having a large number of clones on the battlefield. Itachi would eat through his chakra fast trying to get every single Naruto clone. Also the fact that Naruto can keep spamming clones, if all the clones are destroyed. Itachi can't use Amaterasu not even nearly close to Naruto's clone spam fest. Not when Itachi has to use susanoo if he's trying to finish Naruto. Itachi can't distinguish between clones either, so no chance of him trying to snipe Naruto.
I will refrain from using the other method I was using on the other thread, as Naruto using clones is a safer way
Susanoo
Itachi's greatest weapon is susanoo. But only after v2 is that it provides a challenge to Naruto
Ribcage and V2 susanoo aren't that much of threat to Naruto, as they lack offensive power to hurt Naruto
Best feat is killing Danzo, who isn't nearly as strong or durable as SM Naruto. Magtamas are easily dodged by a simple body turn, like how Naruto easily dodged V1 Raikage. Susanoo sword in v2 isn't a problem either, as it doesn't have the range to get Naruto, when Naruto decides to keep his distance. These two versions are destroyed by a frs or two that can cut mountains.
V3 is the same as v2, but with more protection. A spam of giant rasengans and a couple more frs can take it out.
Complete susanoo is where the most problem comes from. It has a superb defense, and offense, but they are all countered.
Yata mirror is countered by Ma using Dust cloud. As I explained earlier, Itachi can't see Naruto in it, so Naruto is left free to come from behind, and attack it from there. Itachi is unaware of Naruto's location, so his attempt of using Yata to protect himself is futile, as Naruto attacks the location unprotected by Yata mirror.
Totsuka is dangerous, but it lacks feats that let Itachi to actually strike Naruto with it. Only times totsuka got its targets were the times the opponents had no idea about totsuka. Orochimaru wasn't even worried about the would totsuka gave him. He even called it a little wound. Nagato was also distracted by CT's ruins, and was blindsided. One more thing is that Itachi can't pierce what he can't see. With the dust cloud destroying his vision, Itachi wouldn't even try to use totsuka.
Strategy
Immediately after the fight starts Naruto creates a huge number of clones to avoid getting one shotted by Tsukoyomi or Amaterasu. He then would summon Ma and Pa to aid him in battle. Naruto would also send 3 or 4 clones in location far from the battlefield to gather senjutsu, letting Naruto to have access to more Senjutsu chakra. By this time Naruto and his clones would all start throwing shurikens and knives towards Itachi, and letting the 4 clones get off the battlefield. Naruto would stall for a bit, and let his 4 clones to go gather, and balance the senjutsu gathered. Then Naruto would tell Ma to use dust cloud, and then he'd release his clones on the field. If Naruto felt like the dust cloud is getting dispersed, he'd ask Ma to use it again, beginning the cycle anew. With this Itachi's Usage of Amaterasu and genjutsu are rendered futile. By now Itachi has to keep up higher versions of Susanoo, or he'd get immediately obliterated by frs. FRS also doesn't disperse the dust cloud, just like it didn't disperse the smoke bomb's smoke

Once again, Itachi can't even see the senjutsu rasenshuriken, as the dust cloud is all senjutsu. Itachi can't see through senjutsu, as shown in his fight with Kabuto. Couldn't see Kabuto's chakra, even though it had chakra from multiple other people in him.
Everything Naruto will do in this battle after making sure 4 of his clones are off the field will happen inside the dust cloud.
This is my first post. INB4 Mercer misinterpreting everything.
