...Trollkage wins. Kakuzu may be able to blow away the mist once but that'll only temporarily remove the genjutsu from one part of the entire area, meaning that the clam can exude more mist and replace the mist that has been blown away. Also, the clam has shown to be able to change positions in canon. Kakuzu can use Domu if he wants, and watch his masks get sniped by water bullets since he can't move while using that jutsu unless he uses it on one part of his body, which won't grant him full protection. Sure the clam doesn't last forever, but as far as I know, only Kichi was slapped with that dubious time limit. We've seen other more skilled summons last much longer than he did, so I'm inclined to believe that "outlasting" the clam isn't going to happen very often unless the shinobi in question has ridiculous chakra levels like the Raikages or Kisame. If Jouki Boi is brought out, Kakuzu is going to have to maintain Domu on for most of the rest of the battle or risk getting thrashed around... but then he can't do anything either.

He can stay airborne on top of one of his heart monsters, so Joki boy is useless. Meanwhile he maintains Domu for extra protection..
Kakuzu stays in the air and fires barrages of different elemental attacks all over the battlefield, and he may hit something. Otherwise Kakuzu relaxes until the clam disappears die to time limit.

1. Only the wind mask can fly. The other ones can glide for a period of time.
2. These masks are made of threads... And you think they're going to be supporting Kakuzu's weight? While maintaining domu which makes him even heavier?
3. Too bad that the clam isn't going to dissapear any time soon due to a time limit. Only Kichi was tagged with that stipulation. We've seen other more skilled summons battle for longer than he did without worrying about a time limit.
4. What barrage of elemental attacks can Kakuzu make? He can only knead chakra onto one mask at a time, and the fire/wind mask had to fuse (making one entity/mask) and both techniques had to be fired off at the same time for that to work. Nowhere in the manga has a shinobi kneaded chakra to use more than two elements separately. As far as I'm concerned he can either fire two bolts of lightning, or fuuton atsugai, or katon zukkoku, or the fire/wind combo once at a time.

I'm sorry, do you have an argument? It not, then please, stop quoting me.
Gengetsu is threatening to a larger portion of the manga's characters by virtue of his skill set. This is just a bad match-up because his main element is negated by Doton and with wide spanning Ninjutsu, the clam won't affect his as much.

Yes it does. Gengetsu would be higher on a top 20 list (he'd be closer to top 10 than Kakuzu), making him more powerful.
Kakuzu takes this. A mist-based attack will be useless against Kakuzu's Wind Style, which the Databook compared to a

. The Jutsu rips apart trees, the mist will disperse without a doubt, leaving the Clam helpless against a Domu powered punch. Suiton won't work against Domu, in the end the Mizukage will be brought down.
How the f*** else are you supposed to measure a character's power level? :|
