Kimimaro effortlessly takes both scenario's. ESPECIALLY scenario 2.
In A close Ranged fight, Kimimaro easily comes out on top. Sasuke doesn't have the taijutsu skill of kimimaro who was called a
taijutsu master by a taijutsu specialist.
Sword Of kusanagi: Raiton Blade
Kimimaro's bones are very hard, and he is able to control their hardness, location, and much more through manipulation of his osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
This means that Sasuke's strongest Piercing/Slashing attacks are reduced to nothing. Kimimaro was able to tank a

with his bone; And, Sasuke's Raiton infused kusanagi

to these blades.
With this, Sasuke's only option of getting past

is reduced to 0. Sasuke has already lost all hope of winning this fight through killing his opponent.
FireBall/Chidori/Other jutsu
We've also seen, that kimimaro has
amazing agility and dexterity. To the point where he was able to Dodge gaara's sand,
and form an attack( phalange bullets) [

clones,

, And without even using his Cursed Seal.
And, Finally,

With these abilities, Kimimaro is able to easily dodge any of sasuke's Fire based jutsu. Infact, It is almost unfathomable to think sasuke could get a single hit in from any thing in his arsenal.
If Sasuke attempted to use a chidori, Kimimaro could simply catch his hand before it hit his chest; Or, Kimimaro could create a

And, Let's
Not forget that all of this was done

; The guy defeated 3 of the best chunnins, back to back, while half-dead, and only dying due to a disease.
Basic Taijutsu, Chidori, Kusanagi, and fireball jutsu, and even shuriken jutsu have all been eliminated. Sasuke's only other options in this fight are genjutsu, Manda, and defence.
Genjutsu
Sasuke's Best option in this fight would be to use genjutsu to distract/Paralyze kimimaro. And, Even then, It would be utterly fruitless. Assuming
he even gets past the bone armor, Kimimaro has shown the

This Completely and utterly destroys any fantasy sasuke had of winning. Infct, Without MS, Sasuke should just lay down and die. It would save a hell of alot of embarassment.
Manda/Defence
Finally, Sasuke's last options are to go on the defence(to survive) or use manda.
Granted, Sharingan precognition allows sasuke to dodge all of kimimaro's attacks... Oh wait, almost all. [

]. Not even Manda would survive this. And, Even if sasuke were somehow able to avoid this, there is no way in hell sasuke would even outlast a dying kimimaro.
Dying kimimaro was able to fight naruto, lee, and Jinchuriki gaara. Sasuke doesn't have enough stamina to last as long as these 3, especially while using a ton of techniques to simply survive.
Finally, Let's not forget that Kimimaro's own CS-V2 (which boosts his defence and power and which is a earth seal of the same power as sasuke's heaven) aren't even taken into consideration yet. A body ram, Tail swipe, Dance of the clemantis: Spear, Would all put sasuke into the infirmary.
If Jinchuriki gaara, couldn't even put a stop to kimimaro, sasuke has absolutely 0 chance.
If Sasuke

who are
far weaker than kimimaro, he has 0 chance here. (Granted he's better than back then, but kimi did take on the sound 4 with little effort anyway)
Scenario 1: Kimimaro Mid-High diff (since he's moving off sheer will power and sasuke can as-pull outlasting his disease)
Scenario 2: Kimimaro low diff. He'll be stronger, faster, and all around better since he won't be forcing his body to move. Hebi Sasuke Loses, Only MS Taka sasuke can pull this off.
