Sword of the Thunder GodNot with Peins 6 bodies, the 4th needs the 1st to take him down. The 4th also needs the 1st to take Itachi down. Tsunade is probably the weak link, so we would leave Kisame and Deidara for her. Akatsuki might have a better chance at winning than the Hokage's.
The 4th has a technique that can let him beat armies single-handed. I doubt Pein having 7 bodies counting his true self is going to hinder his ability to move around nearly instantly as long as he loads the field with his shuriken.
That's why the 4th is said to be the greatest ninja ever from Konoha and not Itachi?
Tsunade also isn't going to be surviving any length of time against Kisame and Deidara teamed up against her. There is a reason she's the weak link. Putting her up against Akatsuki's weak link and one of Akatsuki's strongest isn't going to go well.
1st would have his hands full with Madara.
2nd would be the best to fight Kisame since they have the same abilities and none on Hokage's team has a element that beats water.
4th would be the best to fight Pein because of his space/time jutsu. Nobody else could deal with six bodies as well as he could.
That would leave Sarutobi and Tsunade against Deidara and Itachi. Which Tsunade could take Deidara but Sarutobi won't be able to take Itachi. Then Itachi would probably own Tsunade after. Leaving Itachi to help whichever other teammate needs it.
Though I do think Akatsuki has the upper hand. But only because Kage's get two weak links, and Akatsuki gets one.
