Itachi uses crow's as medium for his clones to use less chakra on them as shadow clones itself require more chakra than water and as here stated crow clones, because they have no medium and those other 2 examples I stated do. What Itachi does is having his crow clones in his illusions integrated to trick his opponents and make them think that it is real. Um yea it does exist....it's in this same wiki, try checking up on it. Or to jog your memory, he used it against Naruto before transferring shisui's mangekyou over to him ;_;...i dont see how this is relevant to crow clones, it's a genjutsu and it utilizes Mirage CROWS.

''Okay, could I ask what manga websites are the most reliable ones?? I don't know it myself and would appreciate some kind of recommendation to a reliable one.'' Anyways, my argument wasn't really neglected by that translation. It was stated, that wide-scale controlling is impossible (even) for Itachi. Considering that Ao had the Byakugan back then was Itachi still casting it from afar, while he had his complete as in normal vision, something he doesn't have anymore after his overusage of his MS. Let us not forget, that Ao stated that his sensory unit couldn't find Itachi and actually not Ao himself, which might be nitpicking, but could still mean something. There is still the fact that all Byakugan have different ranges. It was never stated, that Itachi was even able to cast a genjutsu on a Byakugan user or whatever Natrix stated. Try Kissmanga or Mangareader.net Anyways the one you sent before was referring to the genjutsu range and says it was impossible to control someone from such a distance, precisely.....now to what you were saying, wide-scale control as in multiple persons in multiple locations. Also if it's Ao's personal sensory squad he must've picked them for a reason, with him being a great sensor he must have a good eye for persons who posses such talent, like Obito recruiting akatsuki members..talented ones. Now you're adding the Itachi who can barely see to go up against Minato? he wasn't blind the whole time yah know ;_; even with blurred vision he was still able to cast genjutsu on sasuke '-'..... And Itachi tried to cast genjutsu on a byakugan user but he failed that's because at that time he had possessed the 3 tomoe sharingan which wasn't powerful enough. Shisui later activated his mangekyou and completed the task, so only Mangekyou and above can perform such a feat'-'/

Didn't he accept that mission so his brother can live? (<not to 100% sure about that though) Yep..it was either Sasuke or everyone else...sasuke included. Cuz the anbu were gonna wipe em out.

You are probably doing 2 things, one being overestimating Itachi and the second being underestimating base Kabuto. Kabuto in part 1 was compared to Kakashi and if we would consider the anime as canon did Kabuto attacked with shuriken's and paper bombs, meaning that Itachi couldn't have had eye contact with Kabuto and those paper bombs even spreading smoke gave Kabuto and Orochimaru the perfect opportunity to escape as the Sharingan can't see through smoke and Kabuto actually being a pretty skilled ninja himself, master of deception and escaped the Sannin and as we saw in the anime Itachi. Well you're overestimating Kabuto by proving he's a match for Itachi. He was compared to Kakasi indeed but he ran away from Kakashi in a fight, which shows that he's not even on Kakashi's level, and seriously Itachi just took down Orochimaru who is stronger than Kakashi and Kabuto ;_; and let's not talk about how kid naruto defeated Kabuto. As soon as Kabuto entered the battlefield all Itachi needed was a stare, paper tags could've been avoided by blitzing to them (infront) but both Kabuto and Orochimaru had on plot armour, they had bigger tasks to do later in the anime ;_-

Let's come to Itachi and what he would or could have done with Orochimaru. Itachi letting Orochimaru free would have been counterproductive for Itachi as he just joined the Akatsuki and let a traitor just go?! Itachi needed to build up some kind of trust on the others as a spy and that is why Itachi had just 2 options, to kill Orochimaru or hand him over to the leader as in Pain or Obito, any other action would mean that Itachi isn't as intelligent as you guys think he is. Include the plot armour statement here as well, and what makes you think Itachi would've handed him over to Pein or Obito? he has so many ways to use him, could've controlled him to abandon the Akatsuki and use him then as he see fit.
