Peak conditions?
Then Oro knows about the eye stuff...but still fails because he is not a sage like Kabuto. The reason Kabuto did so well against the Uchiha brothers was his sage mode and uber perception while in that state. He could keep his eyes closed and fight among the best of them.
I think Oro is smarter and more perceptive than Kabuto because Kabuto just basically stole all of Oro's work. What Kabuto is now is what Oro had planned to become. However, I think Oro would have come out better. 🙂
So, if we get Oro in this same state as Kabuto, Oro would be much better at it. This is my opinion.
I like Kabuto...but I think Oro is better at being Oro than Kabuto.
Peak, I think Orochimaru could make Itachi work for it, and Itachi'd definitely have to pull out his best stuff, but as mentioned he doesn't have an answer for Itachi's best moves.

I assume he could; I strongly suspect that's why he wanted a cursed seal compatible body in the first place. It was said to be nature chakra related to Jugo's ability, and he didn't really have to risk giving it to Sasuke if he just wanted the sharingan. So my working hypothesis is a body capable of mastering his Heaven/Earth cursed seals is sage capable.

You can't replace Oro with Kabumaru to me. He was the original badass. Even if Kabu is pretty cool 😄
But as far as the fight, another reason Kabuto did as good as he did was because the Uchiha brothers restrained themselves to non lethal force. Itachi had to keep Sasuke once I believe.

Itachi's faced the Yamato no Jutsu before, or at least, he knows what it can really do.
Yes he could. The only reason he couldn't use Sage Mode was because he didn't have the right body to handle it. Plus what Q99 said about CS and Snake Sage Mode being related.
So imagine Sasuke with Snake Sage Mode. vin
Itachi wins. Oro could not handle amaterasu or susano. I think if they had wrote Oro using more varied ninjutsu like he is supposed to know, the fight might be different. the only way I see him winning is if he can pull off edo tensei before getting killed. Itachi would have a hard time repeating what Hiruzen did. Also, isn't Itachi faster than Oro? I think Itachi has the edge in almost every category.

He did know he'd lose.
I will mention one advantage Orochimaru had and Kabuto did not- the sword. The sword that could extend a mile long pushing back a super-heavy chakra the entire time.
It's actually a pretty nice bit of kit.
Not enough to make up for everything else, but still.

Yeah, he is just going to completely own two hokages easily. I don't think so. Not saying he can't pull it off, but I think it is far from the cakewalk you are making it out to be. But yeah, Oro still loses. I think old Jiraiya was definitely best of the bunch.
I don't quite follow. They both used some high level jutsus that Hiruzen had to think quick to counter. Had Hiruzen had no prior knowledge of these attacks, he probably would have been killed there. Plus, he succeeded in stopping the revival of minato, would Itachi be so lucky. Even if he does stop two kages who really don't desire to fight, could he stop those three? Of course this assumes that Itachi doesn't place Oro under a genjutsu before he can pull it off.

Peak conditions are very hard to determine since neither one of them have been peak condition since the manga began. Itachi was sick and dying and Oro's vessel was rejecting him. Without knowing their peak forms, it's really hard to tell. i would like to have seen them. However, of what we have seen of them, Itachi wins.

The high level jutsu used on Sarutobi is actually far below the things used on Itachi later on. Only the one genjutsu Hashirama used would be a really defining factor but I think Itachi could deal with that.

How does he deal with a giant forest coming at him? Or a tidal wave. Or both at the same time. amaterasu doesn't burn things that quickly and his sword and susan'o can't block everything. Could he eke out the win, sure, but if Oro pulls the two kages out on him, it's gonna be hard fought.

Dude has literally almost be placed inside a miniature moon and has taken a huge lightning dragon(faster than anything the kage have attacked with before) without difficulty. He also had more than a broken sword. He has the mirror of absolute brokneness that would at the very least be able to reflect the tidal wave.
Though I believe if Orochimaru wasn't as confident as he was during the Hiruzen fight that Hashirama could push Itachi's shit in. He is just that good.
