First of all, how would itachi overpower madara's control over kurama?, who has experience controlling the bijuu AND more powerful eyes cuz of EMS?
Doesnt really matter, kurama is restricted, still, one PS slash one shots itachi, kisame will live barely thanks to samehada's healing prowess, but he cant save itachi from an obliteration that destroyed mountains. From then on, kisame wont be able to keep up with madara alone.
Unless of course someone would like to argue that kisame solos EMS madara, or that itachi doesnt die to a PS slash.
Yeah, it probably was a ridiculous question to ask. I was just assuming that Itachi would have his KA crow since...well, this is EMS Madara PLUS the 9 tails. It would only be fair, lol.
You're crazy if you think even Kisame can survive a direct PS slash... But anyways, from close range, the PS slash isn't life threatening. Hence why the Kage didn't die from it. As you can see [

] the Kage were directly below the Perfect Susano'o, safe from taking on the full mountain busting damage of the PS slash.
If this fight is in character, then Madara won't just activate his PS for nothing. He would need to be in a sticky situation where he would have absolutely no choice but to activate it. Also, Kisame and Itachi are generally short/mid-range fighters, therefore there wouldn't be a large enough gap between them and Madara to get completely obliterated from the PS slash.
And yes, I can argue that Kisame solos EMS Madara. As long as the fight is IC and Madara lacks Kurama in his arsenal. I'm actually in the process of making a thread about it.
