No, his whole deal was NOT killing Kabuto, protecting Sasuke, and preparing Izanami all at the same time.. It's not PIS, you just don't like the feat or the character, that was made clear the moment you joined this wikia back then. Black Zetsu commented multiple times on how pitiful Itachi was fighting and reacting compared to his younger self. Itachi also controlled the entire fight with Kabuto in order to free him from his mental torture using Izanami and effectively stop Edo Tensei(which he did both) and at the same time protect Sasuke. Itachi on his own would not have had the same hard time against Sage Mode Kabuto, especially if he never intended to save him, but kill him instead.
