OK i know there are tons of threads that are about this but there is still one thing i have yet to see them all mention. lets analyze the last scene really quickly.
Itachi TELLS Kabuto that he will activate Izanami now, and that Kabuto has failed.
As soon as Itachi makes his hand sign, Kabuto collapses.
Sasuke asked if its already over, Itachi says nothing but we get a close up of his face and BOTH eyes are still active, meaning that Izanami has not been completed, also meaning that Itachi knows Kabuto's collapsing to be fake.
Then we see Itachi get taken out almost instantly but the next glimpse of Itachi's face shows that Izanami has taken full effect, meaning that in between the 2 panels of us seeing itachi's face with 2 active eyes and Itachi being taken down, Itachi finished Izanami. And at that point Kabuto was inches in front of him, it would be impossible for Itachi to miss at that point.
Its been emphasized that Kabuto will lose due to his own Edo Tensei. Itachi was only able to get such a sure shot at Kabuto with the Izanami by sacrificing himself. Which will end up not being a sacrafice unless itachi somehow shut off ALL Edo's but that would make the Madara fight waayy too anti-climactic.
