Itachi was an Edo Tensei(pathetic shell of living counterpart). They were both also holding back as to not kill or mame Kabuto, as Itachi REPEATEDLY had to state. Itachi's goal was ending Edo Tensei, but as the fight progressed he gained a new goal and that goal was to save Kabuto and he did just that with Izanami. Itachi had 2 goals and he accomplished them both..
