Sasuke pretty much was trying to kill him and Kabuto handled them and his attacks would be similar to Itachi's.
The genjutsu would work just as well in a forest or open field like Tayuya vs Shikamaru. It caught both of them in it and they had to save each other.
92,000+ whoa. They still had to fight like they were trying to.
they were using attacks that would kill normal people, but not him. plus you have to realize they had attacks such as amaterasu to hit him with, which would force him to shed his skin, leaving him entirely defenseless for something like totsuka blade, or simply damaging him deep with enton where it can't be shaded off. alternatively, they could have just knocked the cave down with susanoo, killing him.
Ummmmm..... No. Shikamaru was a slow genin at the time. Sasuke and Itachi are speed gods and genjutsu masters. In an open area the further from the sound the weaker the Genjutsu is. That's why Jiraiya had to lure Pein into the tunnel. Think before you speak.
any advantages he had would not be convenient in another fight, as he wouldn't have leverage such as edos and home field advantage in a normal fight. also, damaging with amaterasu will force shedding, leaving him open to totsuka blade.
How?
Just watch the fight and pretend Sasuke isn't there to save Itachi like when Kabuto bisected him.
How can you outrun sound? Even if it wouldn't work that's just one jutsu that Kabuto has.
yeah, if you pay attention, you'll notice that the first time itachi gets hit, his eye is faded white in the manga Lol
