After looking at the fight and re-reading the manga... Kabuto would have been killed by Itachi when Itachi cut off his neck. People have to remember that Kabuto is not immortal like ORochimaru and Kabuto must liquify his body in order for him to be healed.
Reason: Kabuto getting his horn cut off is key example to this considering Itachi was able to cut it off entirely and it did not grow back. This implies that the only way he can heal is if he liquify his body BEFORE he is attacked. Thus if Itachi cut his neck or chopped hish ead off BEFORE he could liquify then that means Kabuto would die.
Same can be said for Suigetsu who always liquefy his body before receiving major damage.
Kabuto is sooooo lucky.
