Seems i need to clear up a lil bit of confusion round here! Time to represent the Tailless tailed beast as the strongest ninja to ever come out of Kiri! (bar maybe Yagura ofc.)
Clam genjutsu: Pretty op tech yeah? not against kisame. he has multiple counters to it and i'll list them all one by one!!
-release a standard

and would sense kisame's chakra mixed throughout the suiton. This battlefield-wide suiton is large enough to encompass the clam easy, so wherever samehada senses an absence of kisame's chakra would be the location of the clam. from there, the sword can point itself towards its location of the clam letting kisame know where it is!
-use water dome to cover an enormous area which would definitely include the clam. the clam's

is what actually causes the mirage, and pure mist can't exist underwater ofc. so when water dome is used the mist droplets will just become part of the dome and be overpowered by the stronger jutsu, then the clam is revealed plain as day!
-summon his pet sharks which can use

to detect electrical fields by the clam (which is a marine organism that would emit them [

-if nothing else works, kisame just outlasts the clam.
so when kisame locates the clam, he has several options. 1) fire off Great Shark bullet at it and absorb its chakra causing the summoning to disappear in a puff of smoke, simple enough. 2) use his suiton sharks (he can make a thousand of em!) to attack and devour the exposed fleshy weakness of the clam (

Good thing in this thread people seem to acknowledge that the mirage is useless against kisame.
Hydrification: oh dear rofl...apparently since the mizukage can use hozuki clans signature technique he can merge with the water dome and "take control of it"... A hydrification jutsu user has never manipulated an amount of water larger than

. sure that is big...but WD is way bigger! If Gengetsu can seize control over parts of the water and uses it to attack kisame, its quite useless since he has a sword to absorb chakra, and can fuse with it so in the end the mizukage's efforts are in vain! Same goes with water bullet, if he somehow lands it on kisame its quite easily absorbed by samehada. close combat is equally pointless, since kisame would just tank all his attacks then absorb his water body with samehada. GG!
(note: i am not denying that the mizukage can escape from the water dome this way. however it will not be used offensively to imprison gengetsu, rather Kisame would only use it to counter joki boy or the clam genjutsu.)
Joki Boy: can such a technique be countered so easily? pay attention to the panels and focus on the far left speech bubble!

such a technique relies on the oil on the outside heating up and the water inside evaporating. now let me ask you, if joki boy is inside a giant dome of water, how would the oil even heat up if it is underwater in cool temperatures? (kisame summons sharks in his suiton which mainly inhabit cooler latitudes so its reasonable to say his suiton is not made from warm water.) how would its movements heat up the oil, when the water pressure tremendously slows down JB's movements? Sure joki boy is fast on land, but underwater it would swim much slower and therefore heat up much slower, and with the water temperature being much colder than an open desert (where we saw JB being used) that lengthens the process even more, if it works at all. so with kisame being much faster than joki boy underwater, he can retreat to a safe distance and fire Daikodan at the clone, and one shot it by absorbing all its chakras!
OR: as it charges up for its explosion (keep in mind the charge up time is much slower than in canon) kisame swims up to it and wrestles it in CQC and pops it with his

. then the thing just deflates like a sad little balloon instead of exploding with force!
Conclusion:
-Kisame would easily outlast the mizukage, so Gengetsu needs a way to kill Kisame
-anything outside of a point blank Joki Boy exposion kisame would tank with ease and samehada would heal whatever damage. water bullets and mizukages other attacks would be absorbed by samehada (after he fuses with his sword the chakra is absorbed on contact.)
-water dome slows down joki boy's movements and the process of the water evaporating. kisame one shots it with daikodan or pops it with his bones.
