Like I said. The anime is canon when it comes to portrayals to the Manga. Narutopedia:Canon policy <- You can say it's anime all you want, but this is clear. You don't have to accept that it's canon but it is according to this. Unless you have evidence where Totsuka begins it's movements, this is what I'm abiding by.

Also, I definitely can use feet per second because i know the distance in this case does not exceed 1000 feet. You can clearly see the distance between Sasuke and Itachi before Orochimaru takes over, and that is nowhere near 1000 feet. I can also see that both the snakes and susanoo do not exceed a thousand feet (Itachi's armored Susanoo is around the same size as Sasuke's. Sasuke's full body Susanoo is around the size of a tailed beast like Kurama. Kurama is around the size of Shukaku. Shukaku is around the size of Gamabunta. Gamabunta is only 55 feet.) So with that I can determine that Totsuka does not move at the speed of sound or it would hit Orochimaru faster than a single word can even be heard.

Your evidence: A blade hit an uncaring man, with no maneuverability of his legs, covered in slime, not in any body thus not at full strength since it's stated he requires a host.

Mine: Distance between the targets. Sound traveling faster than the blade since words are formed before the interruption takes place in the Manga.

Therefore, Totsuka is not as fast as sound or faster.
