@Jason Literally Naruto has done exactly that before. He has made noise during ambush. And oh yeah lemme just listen to the manga lol. Listen, things are kept from the viewer in order to get a surprise from the viewer, even if things are perceptable to a character. Just because we the viewer couldn't hear Naruto doesn't mean Itachi couldn't. And Itachi is Itachi, knowing there were 2 clones from sound/presence is not a feat that's weird for him.

Again, they had met before, it already was confirmed. Besides, being one to notice a presence isn't some weird feat. Kakashi has been doing it for a long time now, and Itachi is more of a prodigy than he is.

Also Itachi's prowess was noted to rival Shisui, who I'm pretty sure was regarded as the strongest Uchiha of their time (It's on the wiki). So yeah, he was better than his parents. And yeah, him loving and paying attention to his brother means he's more likely to notice his comings and goings than Fugaku, who just saw him as an inferior Itachi. Fugaku and Mikoto were surprised because they didn't realize Sasuke was eavesdropping, but that doesn't mean they couldn't sense him. They knew he was in the house,, which was absolutely normal. Itachi is the more capable Shinobi, as supported by the rest of the series lol.

You did miss the point, because @Ninja literally said "He believed Sasuke not to be dead." so you can gather that he believes in his brother. Then he further clarified by saying "Due to the hate he instilled in Sasuke to become stronger." and you missed the point. Basically Itachi knew that the hatred that Sasuke had for Itachi gave him a drive that wouldn't let him die so easily. So he, like many family members, wouldn't believe Sasuke was dead without irrefutable proof. Otherwise, to him, his brother was still alive. Either you missed the point or you were being cheeky. Whichever.

Kakashi in the anime had his eyes incapacitated in the 4th Shinobi World War, and still fought against Reanimated Swordsman.

Hate to break it to you but saying "I know this feeling" just means he knows the feeling. Lol. Actually I agree with you that Itachi was blind though. In any case, Shinobi already have showcased ability to fight/sense without eyesight despite not being sensors.

Itachi didn't really do anything crazy that he "shouldn't" have been able to do. He did many impressive things, but he and Shisui were considered the top of the Uchiha during their life for a reason. Kakashi himself has demonstrating sensing and presence without eyesight, and he noted Itachi would easily surpass him when Itachi first joined his Anbu squad.
