@Jason

Itachi attacked them off screen, so saying he blitzed them is your interpretation only. Killer Bee used acrobat and Itachi retreated, don't see a speed feat there, a feat of speed means something when a character can keep up or outpace, not retreat. Are you talking about slicing sage Kabuto's horn? If so, Kabuto mentioned he forgot he had horns in that mode, so it was an oversight that was not compensated for. So compensated for, he would counter.

Also, Kirin was predicted and countered, so it wasn't a pure reaction feat.
