Fused kisamehada vs itachi

Hmm, interesting. I would still give it to Itachi. Im a huge Itachi fan but I'm not a fanboy (I think rationally).
While I'm not disputing Kisame's power (hes one of the stronger Akatsuki), I would say Itachi will most likely outwit him. As Samehada isnt affected by genjutsu, Itachi's Plan A goes out the window. But, looking at Itachi's record of finding a weakness against jutsus (his greatest feat was when he found a way to defeat Chibuka Tensei), I would say he'll find a way out of the water prison.
Anyway, we havent even witnessed Itachi's taijutsu. In the official databook, Itachi's taijutsu is 4.5, while Rock Lee's is 4 in volumes 14 to 27 (Second databook). Rock Lee has opened 6 gates and we've seen his drunken fist style by volume 27, and Rock Lee still gets a 4, while Itachi gets 4.5. I wouldnt be quick to dismiss Itachi's taijutsu.
Even if you take the taijutsu out, although it IS a major factor, I would still say Itachi wins due to superior intellect. He'll find a way, he always does. On top of all this, Kisame himself admitted he couldnt beat Itachi (cant be bothered to find the page). I would say Itachi with max/near death difficulty.
All this being said, I truly respect Kisame and think he is a kickass character who, I think, deserved more chapter/screen time. He's a hugely formidable opponent on his own. Add Samehada into the mix and you get a monster fighter whos unaffected by genjutsu and ninjutsu. Im sure you will think this is a fanboy's response, but Itachi's intelligence is unquestionable. He figured out a way to beat Chibuka Tensei ffs!!! A technique used by the Sage of Six Paths himself (although on a bigger scale)!!! Itachi will find a way.
i cant agree nor disagree with what you said...it's very detailed and laid out...
somehow, i can believe you that itachi can find a way, the only thing that im worried about is his stamina which is always a major weakness in him...don't forget that samehada can absorb the power of 6 tailed beast all at one time...no disrespect, but i dont think itachi has enough power / jutsus to pull it off against a samehada + kisame combination...
legendary doesn't mean sh*t when faced with the right match up...
even naruto won against neji before when he was an underdog...
gai can even kick kisame into bits because of bad match ups...the same goes with kisame vs itachi...once itachi pulls out susanoo the only thing kisame needs to do is let samehada feed on the chakra exerted by susanoo...its like samehada touching the tailed beast cloak...its the same logic as that....
itachi will have no time to pull out sword of totsuka...
