Oonoki can use dust release in the air out of the way of Itachi. Itachi is on a time line with susanoo as it causes pain and chakra drain.Sick itachi > old onoki
Healthy itachi > prime onoki
Anyway the only thing that would cause itachi's problems is onoki's ability to fly because he would gain abit of immunity to itachi's short range genjutsu's although he still has his long range available to him. Secondly itachi's main long range technique is yasaka magatama and although onoki's is extremely slow on land (back problems + old age), he has been noted to be fairly fast in the air, if so should be able to evade yasaka magatama.
Anyway on dust release. Dust release should damagae a fully developed susano. I dont believe it would annihilate a complete one and the idea of it getting past one with the yata mirror hasnt crossed my mind.
Anyway in order for onoki to use dust release he must not only come in close proximity to itachi meaning itachi would able to attack or put him in genjutsu before he completes dust releases which takes time to materialise, but also onoki has to stay stationary in oder to use dust release.
In the process of creating dust releases and in close proximity with itachi, amaterasu one of the fastest attacks would engulf Onoki before his dust releases materialise. Secondly in close proximity with itachi in susano and onoki staying stationary in order to use dust release could be sealed with the totsuka sword
Even in the air he has to decrease the space between him and itachi in order to hit him with dust release who is on land. Regardless dust release is a strong technique but due to its speed it gets a massive downgrade. Its too slow to materialise and against somebody with a speed stat of 5/5, great shunshin but also handspeed of 5/5, itachi can not only evade it but also create a number of attacks (ninjutsu's) even before dust release materialises. Onoki is also stationary when creating dust release.Oonoki can use dust release in the air out of the way of Itachi. Itachi is on a time line with susanoo as it causes pain and chakra drain.
agreed, plus rep wow the great blaze release is inputting on my thread im happyEven in the air he has to decrease the space between him and itachi in order to hit him with dust release who is on land.

Onoki is also stationary when creating dust release.
Basically dust releases leaves its user's vulnerable since they have to stay stationary, btu also it takes long to materialise.
+ rep for threadbut the same can be said about itachi he has Amaterasu a deadly jutsu which flames cannot be put out,Sword of Totsuka which is a 1 shot, Yasaka Magatama,tsukyomi, place u under genjutsu with 1 finger
